The protest movement in thailand is picking up momentum protestors are calling for a constitutional change and want to reform thailands powerful monarchy people want to really really go to the root. Of this is they want. Change. And they will do you know and these protesters. Our very and. And when we look to the root causes of that part of the. Gene compositions as. They see in the palace of. Thailands king along corn has a Strong Influence on most aspects of thai society and has tried to consolidate his power he is known and often criticized for his lavish lifestyle. But instead of ruling from his royal residence in bangkok. The king prefers to spend his time fountains of kilometers away in germany. This hotel in the bavarian resort town is where he normally stays for long stretches of time his presence in southern germany has been a tabloid sensation but it has also drawn strong criticism from thai activists including jr. Who fled thailand and lives in europe since 2010. The thai people are getting more angry because he is not here to answer to at least. Stop into winning you know what he is here using. Locations and continue to. Continue. She has organized a series of protests across germany to raise awareness and push for change in thailand like shining slogans against the king on his Favorite Hotel the unpleasant things the king shouldnt be acting as head of state from a foreign country germanys government appears to agree. As we have made it clear that politics concerning thailand is not to be done from german soil. On top of that there are many bizarre reports about what is happening there. And this just in as we would always oppose having guests in our country who run their state affairs from here. On. But the German Government hasnt announced any specific measures jr you implies it sent a letter to the german chancellor and other leaders to urge the government to act the king has now returned to thailand for the 1st time in almost 6 months and is expected to stay for a few weeks protesters have vowed to continue demonstrating despite a crackdown things are not getting easier for king longhorn. And joining me now is poverty in charge of all associate Professor Center for Southeast Asian studies at curator university and himself living in exile in japan praveen welcome why do you think the king of thailand spend so much time in germany. Well i guess theres a number of reasons as i heard you know no one no one not quite sure i think the 1st one is for the medical reason that you need to consult with regular doctor you know in germany so when i get this is about his personal lifestyle i think hes a kind of a king who you know have some sort of if them trip. We have a correct good at least sighting in bangkok he would be put to much under the spotlight popular local media so being away from home especially in germany you know he can be away from the thai press and he cant be here you know as you wish and at the people blissfully baria because its not a big lie cosmopolitan in many way it can be a way you know from from the last. Rites havent we are fast talking about and the head of a monarchy that is very revered by thais but now this monarchy has suddenly become one of the 4 points of fortress in thailand cars that happened. Well i guess that we would think about King Ramattan the current king. You can hear what had happened compare him with his flock there must must be real. And exactly because of the opposite correct there is the copy to king which the p. B. S. One having earned a kind of moral authority whereas you know the correct one having you know lack. Such you know quality so people who see the stop difference between the 2 and are public that we talking about here staying long term in germany i think a lot of type people felt that the king is not responsible the king has left the people and attending especially during this time of difficulty you know window when the well and good in thailand had to go through cope with nike and so because of these. You know by that sort of push the way the people come on the street to protest against the king of if you want to tie dissidents living in exile in japan but there are many thais who are still far from supporters of the monarchy im wondering how that support is with the criticisms that you have just leveled. Well yes i mean the thai the thai Party Political landscape had long been divided and i think the political fault line has been drawn around a monarchy at least in 2016 political crisis. That you know witness the overthrowing of the government of passage in a way i think from that point on what type society has become so you want it either you are royalist or you are not really obviously what i said you know especially my critical standpoint we said we will not be would be rejected by the royalist but i but i understand that you know disproval probably thought of the string king you know it to look one simply because of the Younger Generation you can see them coming out on the street now these younger Younger Generation they are quite lucky you know to be able to escape long your propaganda under the previous regime so thats why they have no its not a left collection oct its greatness of different risking and thats why did it come so correct that you know to come out to protect and speaking of his Younger Generation their own children modern constitutional reform and that common Prime Minister prior chunnel just step down what is a connection between these 2 moms under fall of the monarchy. Well give me if inseparable you know talking about the person reform in general you have to include the reform but were not considering that the mona lisa in fact the sauce of the op to propose in thailand so thats why i think at the beginning that it wouldnt pass on the government meaning that you know to push to call for regular to step down but now they move on to attack the monarchy instead because they know that talking about them or not he will also cover Everything Else in thai politics. Right the way the protests are going and given the government response to it so far do you think the protesters demands were ultimately be accepted by the government no i dont think still you can see the way in which the government has handled the protests from day one that they have showed more side compromised and im talking about just the government for us thats why i did continue to address callie and you could see that on wednesday night crackdown on the protests there too not popular but it will not be also we have the north from king washable gone to be able to negotiate with the reform in fact he has remained silent and im afraid decided is basically the answer to the reform. Well leave it there for the time being but thank you so much for joining us praveen charge of our own fun. Now despite being one of the Worlds Largest economies at least one 3rd of indias children remain malnourished a condition that also makes it one of the top causes of mortality in the country but things could get worse as a kid on about a spend make its indians hard.

She knew is not the only one this hospital sees around 15 such cases a day many of the children had never had enough to eat. Look at this little she can barely stand up on his own hes also mentally disabled these are the effects of malnutrition and frankly this is also because there is no family planning. The villages near the hospital are very poor india has made Great Strides in recent years in fighting poverty and hunger but many rural areas have been left behind one out of 6 children here is severely malnourished nationwide there are millions every morning mother seeking help come to the Village Children Center many of these women feel overwhelmed theyve never learned what children need for their development with some food and medical care these mothers get the basics on health and nutrition.

Into 69 position here on my knees green pornos are the basis for her 1st online performance combining those videos with a live stream of her and her chickens sheep and dogs at her farm outside new york the show which launches friday is called sex and consequences. Earlier i got to talk to Isabella Rossellini i asked her about the shows name your show is called sex and consequences i think the sex part is pretty clear what are the consequences. Well i bet the sex part is not very clear for you because im talking also about animals that mate ira my friend die its animal that have a sexual reproduction. The consequences im going to give you a surprise answer about the consequences of sex if you mate generation after generation and species says that hes kind thats pieces will become come out all with patches think of dogs ancestor is the wolf but once to wolf was domesticated dogs at patches so have cars so have goats so have cats so there are consequences that are unexpected if you kind of more cooperative individuals mate and i bet you didnt know that you just thought of the consequences pregnant not not pregnant we talk about that too youve been in rehearsals for a while now with your dogs your chickens your sheep or save your animals is a talented the dog of course is trained for the circus so hes the most of e. D. M. Where he she now theres one other dog here is not so beat yet the hardest one to sheep because he began well and the other day they just broke into my house i go outside to have them. Act with me in my porch but somehow their door was ajar and they just charge into the house and this is my house where you are which im using it as a studio its a barn that i converted into my house in all of your work about sexuality in the animal world do you think theres anything that animals get right when it comes to sex that humans dont. Well you know i dont know what i was thinking i was talking about it to another professor who shes dirname is that he had a research and she study dolphins and dulcie is a very amber is stay swim together they stroke each other same sex sex so we were wondering if our culture we imposed on sex. Only do the goal of reproduction because and then we say oh then something strange happens with intelligence and we get all this complication rajib things will become gay or you know i dont know you can you know want to change sex but this is all happening in nature dolphins who are very telegenic they have a brain bigger than ours and they are considered a master most conative animal also they have a sexuality that is not just use for reproduction as it has been for us also its used for bonding for understanding each other to create. Alliances so sometimes i would call ciar and skew our perception of sex youre speaking about evolution a moment ago what do you think you have learned the most out of this year and what we have your evolved from us through your time at home and lock down and during this online show with your animals. Well i think im very resilient you know i think raising evolution and technology. In front of our eyes just even you and i doing this interview. I think we do cope 19 and the problem vs created has to speed up the process of finding different ways of being together and communicate and this has been my problem i mean well the theaters are closing in america and i think theyre going to stay close for another year if not longer and how do you reconnect with your audience how do you keep that rating stories so i still get a lot of businessmen were you using zoom so im going to do a live show. And its not perfectly technologically perfect but if you think about the origin of cinema it was a silent movie and it was a big audience it was black and white and still had an audience it isnt a technology that yes of course we want stylish beautiful things but it isnt the s. And i think the essence is what you have to say and as a bell russell when he had lots more to say about sex evolution and why she isnt voting for donald trump you can read more of that interview at d. W. Dot com slash culture now heres a question are men that manly even when they dream this photo of sleeping Israeli Soldiers is part of a new exhibition here in berlin that brings together 50 artists its called masculinity is liberation through photography as a whole right went to check it out. Masculinities what makes a man a man. According to a line of prada the curator of masculinity use the gender is the only thing that isnt an ascension this cannot afford to be a particular way to leave and come to a particular way to and. Explore how masculine seal the representation of masculinity has been kind of coded its actually constructed and performed very specifically through the meeting with film and photography from the sixtys and through to the present day a massive undertaking. To put the spotlight on and examine what is seen as normal its also to tell an untold story the 1st chapter disrupting the archetype breaks down the hyper masculine and finds it rife with contradictions like Thomas George x. Found and painted studio photographs of young taliban fighters. The young men of color full have got may come upon it theyre Holding Flowers or other things or Holding Hands and if it wasnt for the occasional a k 47 in the picture you might think you were looking at afghanistans gay culture a mishmash of semiotics and not the images of hyper masculine military men you might expect masculinity is used as plenty of humor to die sent to its subjects like how fish is gay semiotics or try see moffats have been sneaking shots of young men getting changed at bondi beach in australia. Humor is very much present throughout the say there were men to come to the shows going to come out so close the idea was to really kind of in a way is that the title says liberation. Anyway there is a sense of im tethering them and allowing them to can fulfill their own personal emancipation they dont meet the new straight jacket it would hear these very kind of rigid ways of what it means to be a man. The exhibition gives plenty of room to groups previously sidelined by the mainstream. Like photographer sunil gupta. But for me its really. Really big their lives the visual representation of it because photography is such of representatives. To my life ive never seen you know images that are about. Whats happening to me. This is the story of a gay indian migrant his work beautifully documents many of recent historys most important periods of a struggle and liberation. From school unities a journey through the meanings of modern man thats. The whole read back from the exhibition masculinities melissa what were the highlights for you yes some of the highlights for me what to do with family the subject of family one of them was called my mothers cupboards and my fathers words they were by anna fox and what anna folks does is she took images of these cupboards filled with Household Items and she juxtaposed them with her fathers violent rantings so we have the collection of the items in the collection of the violent words that was very nice another thing that i really liked as well was richard billing her and raise a laugh 30 years ago he turned the camera on his alcoholic father ray and his violent mother liz and took these tragic comic or full or very rough images of his family but i think the criticism is not so much on raw. A or on his mother on the on the why the society theres a lot of tenderness there theyre also going to be making a film out of it a feature film called liz and ray this exhibition has gotten some criticism what can you tell us about that well the criticism well the exhibition tries to cover half the worlds population and 60 here is a film and photography so everybody is going to be happy some of the criticism surrounds the use of stereotypes and cliches that men are just put into categories based on their body tie all this 6 while a t. And that there are no ordinary men to be seen or nothing of this is them is that the men are working in the images except these act is who are playing nazis well i guess thats work too as an actor it is but its a fantastic exhibition 300 images absolutely definitely worth a look even if you dont go 100 percent with the politics behind. Behind all this all right thanks so much for checking out that exhibition of masculinity this for us maybe we wont look at someone called feminine. Now earlier this week mexicos president. Lopez obrador gave his wife what he called an almost Impossible Mission trying to convince austria to return a feather head dress believed to have been worn by the aztec Emperor Montezuma the 2nd but now the museum housing the artifact says its too fragile to be moved the pretty hispanic relic is made of hundreds of feathers as well as more than a 1000 small gold plates the Ethnological Museum says that moving the more than 500 year old item even within the building would risk irreparable damage mexico has been calling for its return for decades.
