Germany is the image as a nation of poets and thinkers, is largely due to the huge influence of enlightenment figures like and cilla, but how its perceived today. As a modern powerhouse of culture is at least in part facts to the work of close to tell a month more in a moment. And also coming up looking beyond hollywood, the coronavirus has impacted hundreds of thousands of livelihoods in the Film Industries in india and nigeria. Welcome to arts and culture for more than 30 years, close detail, a man has been a driving force of german culture 1st as the director of the German National library. Then as president of the prussians Cultural Heritage foundation. Since 2008 teams been president of the go to institute, thats germanys cultural calling card that offer rights operates worldwide in nearly 100 countries on november 13th here, fishley retired, but stay w. Has a fishing stand off with a new documentary about his career. Closed teacher limon is a leading figure of germanys cultural scene, a man of books. He headed the National Library in frankfurt, and oversaw the fusion with its east german counterpart in leipsic, in 1990, assuring equal footing. He went on to lead the group to institute from 2008 until november 2020. And one of his last missions was in the media before the pandemic. He was invited to speak at a conference on the restitution of artifacts looted during colonial times. Sure is not a peace making per se, but it functions in that spirit when it encourages Real Exchange and im of the opinion that we are in germany can only be a Cosmopolitan Society if we were flattened, more than just ourselves in 1909 lehman with the backing of the chancellor Gerhard Schroeder unveiled his master plan for the renovation of Berlins Museum island. Perhaps his greatest career achievement needed. So every age has its people. That means that now someone has to come along who has new ideas and sets new impulses so that it always has a fresh and contemporary shape. So i can like a very easily, but also some projects such as the humble forum, also came with their share of controversy, but close to dudley manuel. Now regard them from a distance and im joined by my colleague who coauthored the documentary a close to tell a man the last cultural diplomat. Hes maybe not the last because we still have new welcome to this hour. That was together, a very short one that you made that fell behind such an interesting man. And someone whos always had a real sense for how to capitalize on romance in history, to the benefit of culture as a unifier in germany as well. That was a job, was that . Yeah, thats a side many people dont know. Ignore about him. Thats in the ninetys after german your real if occasion. It was a difficult time. You have to recall that a lot of people in the former socialist, germany, german democratic republic, they were embittered and feared to be overrun by companies to lose their job by institutions. And to be super flus. And he came in to reignite the 2 libraries. There were 2 libraries cold war phenomenon, National Library of the socialist, German National library in the west. And his task was to bring them together in live sick and in frankfurt to one united institution. And he did it with an incredible credible sensitivity and empathy. And he gave people the feeling to get them on board and to listen to them. I think thats his style. It doesnt talk to people and then decide he listens to people before deciding one of his greatest achievements, of course is that he was one of the architects of post unification. Berlin tells yeah, that was the next job and actually the terrible tariff it job. He did of in leipsic on him a lot of reputation in the political sphere. So politicians start, thats the person we want to really bring Forward Museum island, the whole museum scene in berlin, which at the time around 2000 was a bit not rundown, but in disarray. And underfunded, and he came in, he put up a master plan which he forcefully implemented he renovated, restored, reconstructed Museum Island, not on his own, with a lot of staff with a lot of collaborators, of course. And with the backing of politics, you have to say he got the funding and thats one of his abilities and skills. He can convince people also politicians to get the money for cultural projects. Incredible achievement. Now would you also call him a visionary because, for instance, he foresaw just how in poor issues of restitution, for instance, and post colonial conciliation with bill for africa long before the debate that were actually seeing today. Not a visionary in the common sense of the word, but hes a person with a big sensitivity. Whats up at the moment . What isnt grass, whats to the down . And then when he took over Good Institute in the mid ninetys around 2008, i think he grabbed the moment that there was a lot of interest in africa and the German Foreign policy. There was a lot of money as well for project cultural projects. So what he did, his 1st trip as a president of Good Institute was travelling to africa looking at the local situation and learning and understanding that africa would be one of the future topics of Good Institute of well, of the world. And he was very right about that. Now i just want to ask you, because you met with close to tell him and many times over the course of this last his final, very difficult year, a difficult year, obviously, because corona brought everything to a standstill. How was that experience with him or what was it like to get close to him . Well, we thought the last year would be a celebration, you know, with events with speeches, with parties, with trips. Actually we were lucky enough to do that. Last trip to bangkok. There was a celebration in bangkok and i think we were the last film Crew International film through who under normal circumstances did filming there. Because corona came, changed everything. We didnt see him after bangkok he flew out from bangkok with one of the last regular flights. So did we, and we didnt see him for a while. We met him again in a Museum Island because he worked at home office. Everyone else here. And i think he was quite moved by the film we saw today. He things now that he should start last career as an actor and that is a lot of antic to do that very much in itself. Thank you. I know that film will be, running on monday under w. , and we wish all our lent his successor all the best. Thanks for coming in and telling us about and all this week weve been looking at the impact of covert 19 on the Film Industry in europe. And hollywood, of course, only part of the picture. Indias bollywood and Nigerias Nollywood each produce more films per year than the u. S. Ever has. Which means the pandemic has a much wider Ripple Effect now there on where shake from india and a man is on the saudi from nigeria are just 2 of the hundreds of thousands of people in the film business, who are now struggling to survive on nollywood and bollywood based in lagos and mumbai are 2 of the most prolific Movie Industries in the world. Millions of viewers across continents watch their films. But the Global Pandemic is taking its toll on the industry. A mini song, the saudis film school is located in central lagos. Its no longer teeming with ambitious film students hoping to make it in the movies. Numerous shoots have been put on hold or scrapped altogether. Its a sense of my income for this year. From my part of projects, the t. V. Series, the film in the cinema and the acting school, was not only what has become increasingly popular and successful since the end of the 1990 s. He produces some 2000 films in series each year, mostly for the domestic market. Budgets run from almost nothing to into the billions. But when nigeria imposed a strict lock down early this year, the Film Industry came to a standstill. Directors are now allowed to shoot films again, but under strict conditions. Here theyre rehearsing for series about a family with real life members of the family. These days more and more productions are going straight to streaming without being released in a cinema at all. Companies that are just a faster now much better position, such as north flags, streaming platform in from a 1000000 muslims. The so least some 7000. 00 come matters away in mumbai is the center of indias hindi language Film Industry. Known as bollywood. Its become famous for its extravagant music and dance scenes and superstars such as shah rukh khan. But the corona virus has hit the indian dream factory hard. Behind the glitz and glamour. The industry also provides thousands of low paid workers with a livelihood. His wife and their 2 children all live in a small one room apartment. Hes worked as a backing dancer on film sets for 35 years. Hes even appeared in a sheriff canvey but now he has no income whatsoever. Before the covert lockdown, i used to get good work. I would get one or 2 songs per month. I managed to earn about 18000. 00 rupees per month when i used to take care of my family expenses. But for the past 6 months or so, theres been nothing even if something studios have now reopened, but theyre working under strict regulations as the authorities attempt to curb the spread of the virus. No big wedding or battle scenes are allowed for example, but at least cinemas, which were shut for months, were allowed to reopen in mid october, even in the, in the shoots. But just starting now the actors especially out requesting for minimal crews. So our crew sizes, which of course means those people who would do it will end up being the biggest loser. As 1000 continues to rage on where shaikh has decided to look for another job. I do have hope of finding work again. The world runs on hope after all the films almost always have a happy ending. Hopefully there will be one for him. Well, happy endings are really his thing, but be unstoppable than a house or knows how to beguile us with images. That literally open up new worlds. His latest film, fireball visitors from darker worlds, sees him, teamed up with cambridge professor Clive Oppenheimer to undertake a globetrotting exploration of meteors that fell to earth, both ancient and recent. Well, its a fascinating 2 or that looks at the connections between science history and with ology, and thats now streaming on t. V. As of november 13th. So well leave you with some images from that film. And until we meet again, stay safe and all the best from us here in berlin. Throughout history reach your rights, have captivated schuman imagination, played her 1st stone structure, her basics, overexplain, the figure where letter we were. When do we want to know the percent of americans at some point in our lives will experience hardship that listening to the minds from the ghetto to parliament keeps everything going to those bobbie why . Despite coming from a close family, the pop star wants to become president palin. Shes a goddess at leat cost. The credible story of bobby boy starts december 10th on g. W. If its hard to find an opening to my story. The tale of a small footnote in the history of our region. I can only write my own private memories of these 3 years of hope and anguish. Is this a tale of triumph or defeat . The ending to our story has not yet been written. Was the pristine anthrax began 40 days after the massacre in hamburg, luckly the for peaceful morning was a full hour and there are and you see blood on the streets and people are saying this is the peace that you promised us. And you could not say, dont forget, it was only at the opi. Wasnt there a ceremony . We are of in a row being and clearly wasnt going to be 1. 1 in march, not before we headed back to the negotiating table. Since the wave of suicide bombings, israel had closed the border to 2 and a half 1000000 palestinians. Poverty was rising throughout the occupied territories and living conditions, declining. Our people were losing faith in the Peace Process. But i knew we must not give up. His will to the other side as you see, hes also going about the security of god in the future. That absolute fact for the prominent arrangements or whatever, but yet its going to sort of, i dont know. Going now the trick of negotiating with the palestinians is not to address the main aspects of the prominent alleged. If we try to deal with a permanent arrangement. Now, the whole thing will fall upon your going to be not going to jump to 30 percent over that one. Despite the blood and the violence, the process had a force of its own. And in may 94. 00 when we set out to sign the gaza jericho agreement granting the palestinian self rule in gaza. The use of the uses of the right months of talks. The speech was finally accepted. Egypts president mubarak provided a suitably dramatic setting for the ceremony. In cairo, the morning of the signing of the gaza, jericho agreement, faisal and i were being interviewed in jerusalem, while watching a my broadcast of the ceremony. On my way to the interview, i was held up by Israeli Soldiers at the checkpoints. Someone said to me, this is your idea of peace. Tell the old man not to sign, tell him to come wait at the checkpoint and sign it here. Along with the rest of us. I stared at the screen and wondered, is this a celebration of the birth of the Peace Process or its burial . Both sides appear to have sorted out differences over the gaza strip and jericho. But within minutes it was clear that the deal like the stage positions, was not going to plan. It is fine because theyve taken self relief. Im sitting there and i see how far signing documents, signing books, signing the go to man the, all the books are mans. And then the guy who took the system became a broad maps. He looked or didnt sign close the and went back to spare and have been that was walking through for saying why walk up the stairs and i stand next to a beam. And as he begins to sign, i open it, and then i whisper in his ear without show trying not to show any excitement op because everything was recalled and, and filmed. And i told him i often did not sign so he says, so what does it mean . I responded, it means that there is no agreement. Israels Prime Minister examines the documents called over foreign minister, shimon peres, and also refused to sign for a while, it seemed as if the entire ceremony was about to collapse because we had not been a part of that channel. We didnt fully appreciate what the gaps were between the 2 sides. Israel saw this as a devolution of power as a pal scenes prove themselves l. C. And saw this as we have to show this is a new day. And as a new day, we have to have all the trappings of statehood, even if we dont have a formal yet. So immediately they want to, you know, they didnt want controls over cross. He wants they want to, they want to immediately to say, you know, the israelis are out of our lives with 500000 father. But you know, good negotiations is says and he says no, no, no. I was voted with their homes before barak. They want to soonest. So i would go to them and says again and said no, they would. And to stop it, said it publicly was on the stage and the son of a bitch. After a brief interval, the p. L. O. Leader was assured that the size of the jericho region was still under negotiation. He signed the document and did a few comments. Finally, with the briefest of m. Shakes, a deal was done at the very last minute. 1 july 1st, 1904 Yasser Arafat returned to his home and reclaimed his position as the palestinian leader. It was an ambivalent return. He came back and had to govern palestine, which was divided and driven apart. Or perhaps israel brought him back in order to control him. What was the price we had to pay for his return home . Was this 1. 00 of those minefields . Or was it the 1st step toward peace and the liberation of palestine . As we made our way to promise time, my heart pounded and i was choked with the emotion of the moment. I went to as i never went before kissing and hugging all my relatives and friends. The last time i met my father in jordan, i hinted that i might be coming home, so he cried and raised his hands, swearing he would prepare a feast on my return. My sadness was that my father had passed away just 4 months earlier. After waiting for my return for so many years. So when i called yuri, i said, im finally back in march childhood home. He greeted me with the arab word of welcome and told me he was really pleased to hear my voice. We have become neighbors or just one week after all, who are laws returned to our bodies. We met once again in taba this time in order to negotiate the 2nd stage of the osce low process. Israels withdrawal from the west bank by spread out the map. We had kept secret until then the oslo accord stated, israel will withdraw from most of the west bank within a year. And the palestinians were expecting to receive control over the land immediately. But israel demanded a gradual withdrawal and offered the palestinians full control of only 2 percent of the land. The remaining 98 percent would be controlled by the israeli army. Arafat stared at the map silently and then announced that it was an unbearable humiliation. These are prison camps, he yelled, you want to destroy me. With those words, arafat left the room. What you were suggesting deviates from the signed agreement, i shouted, you keep 98 percent of the land. We wont accept that. You can enforce this approach on arafat and push him into a corner. But remember, this one sided agreement will not last last up without saying another word and summoned his driver. We exchanged a polite and cold handshake, and we each went our separate ways. As hours went by, we waited nervously in the hotels lobby. Some israeli reporters informed us that arafat had issued a statement about the talks collapsing. We were all on edge, but refused to cave in a something out of the. Now is the time to decide. Do they want agreement or not . And 2 main issues are on the table. Hebron and withdrawal matters are i believe well know in hours or in the days, but where the end of the negotiation at this stage of the final decision. Later that evening, arafats personal assistant came rushing towards me. Arafat asked that you come to our room immediately. She said, hes collapsed. I went to a room and found him lying in bed, pale as a ghost, trembling nodding in and out of consciousness. Hold on my friend, i whispered. I need you to stay with me. The doctors found collapse to be a result of extreme fatigue caused by the many hours of negotiations. But i knew the truth. The map i presented to him had broken his heart. There was something very personal in east making. It wasnt political festival. It wasnt that political ambition, it was a very human race. Theres a symbolic picture where people went to israel in camps in the streets and put on their dances that the acts that they stirred your lives and your heart was there irony of that killed your kids. And oppressed you, people who went out and gave them flowers and gave them olive branches and felt that this was, that this is their and their complex, this is that and of the occupation as your moment of and moment of thomas is back peoples hopes were dashed and then my peers and some very, im sorry, this of course and sad and responsible members. Im a woman, i want a, im driving to my office and the guards tell me a bus was blown up as we drove there. And the whole square was awash with loud bodies was still lying there, body people wailing and weeping, and the sound fair. The show must thousands of people were there. And when i walked in, they surround murder and see what youve done to us. Try to see what youve done to us, much as it i had the meeting with the ai year and ron we all felt that time was running out and that we had to act fast. We agreed on deliberations that would lead to a permanent agreement. Utilizing the same framework. We used an os low, quick, discreet talks, and no empty slogans. Mahmoud abbas, and i deliberated over the draft for almost 2 years behind the scenes without the racket of the taba hotel. We touched on the most sensitive points of the process room for the very 1st time, at least theoretically, we had a document in our hands with a comprehensive solution. The withdrawal to the 67 borders the establishment of a palestinian state, of course, keeping the settlement blocks intact and making jerusalem the capital of both nations. My plan was to set up a meeting with ravine. I told him that i would like to meet with him about the permanent solution. And he said its not possible. So i told him, lets do it when i return from the United States on saturday, nov 11th. No one could have guessed under what circumstances that meeting would take place. Immediately on september 5th, we reassembled in taba. I must admit that after our last encounter, i wasnt looking forward to another round of this endless boxing match. It was the nastiest meeting ive ever been in my life. We just wanted to be anywhere. But in that room, as i was leaving the room, i turned around and the israeli and palestinian delegations are talking to each other and having a cup of coffee. I think it underscores the point that part of what happens to negotiations is the humanisation of the other side. You no longer see just the quote unquote enemy, but you see a person and you learn about that persons family and their ups and downs, their happy moments and you get a sense of how committed they are to peace. And you never able to translate that to the public. That evening we improvised a friday prayer service. We led candles and much to the astonishment of the palestinians. Singer recited the kid who should prayer. We opened with everybody love saturday night in 3 languages. Afterwords a lot and myself joked around by imitating the peres and arafat conversations. Meanwhile, we taught the ass for how to sing my you disha mama. It was nice to kid around again. Later that night i received a call from jerusalem. A bus had exploded in the center of the capital. I told the government stop the peace talks. We sat and watched the news silently. No one said a word. No one doubted that our palestinian friends opposed to terror and that it was directed towards them as well. 2 days later called me up from his room and asked me to watch the arab evening news with him. We watched images of a 7 year old boys funeral, a boy who had been killed that day by the israeli army. Abu alaa was right when he said that neither side has dominion over suffering. That night a law and i reached the final draft of the osce low b. Agreement. The muslim had the money also be accords, was signed by early, severe, on the israeli side, and as well enough for the palestinians. According to the treaty, the israeli army will withdraw from 6 name cities in the west bank, besides jericho and elections for the Palestinian Council will take place and much else. Instead of this, get up to say you want, this is a day of achievement because its our problem. On this morning, he achieved the signing of the oslo be accorded the government debated for 5 hours. You know what the minister has described as an historic meeting about in historic treaty are no showed you today with the help of the israeli army. We rule over more than 2000000 palestinians, and control daily lives through the civil administration. All should show. This is no peaceful solution or we can go on fighting. We can continue killing and being killed after government or labor not. So we can also try to bring a whole to this endless cycle of bloodshed. We cant give peace a chance, go your shallow i think thousands of gathered to protest the ratification of the oslo be agreement. And what the nationalist camp calls the forsaking of security and the abandonment of the whole might destroy their let her feel like i asked this huge crowd. Is there anyone amongst you the police . Yes, i dont find them. Ok. You say no, but there is someone who doesnt care about your painting, a separate outfit, mr. Rabin. I didnt know that. Did i . I i, i made these and gentlemen, the president of the United States is majesty king hussein of the hashemite kingdom of jordan is excellent. Seymour ahmed mubarak, president of the arab republic of egypt. It is actually say you decide to be Prime Minister of israel chairman arafat. Please take a good model of the saudi. You see was impossible, goes on drink or build, just to eat, you should go and do all the great basin soldier inserted a new way to do to make peace moment. Most of these where the years of hope, when the peace camps felt that they were somehow indicate they are bringing to their people the fruits. I dont do my same hotel, a spontaneous get together of the oslo veterans among them. The original negotiators and it was one of, you know, its a one day off, you know, the one that im yes, yes. What i am going to miss this, i believe that the process will continue despite the cold. If you come to me facebook succinctly, we have both, we have a good live to push this process for i concur with what i said, that we have no choice. And there is some good common language around this table. If you can see also, you know, the days highlight is the friendly perception of us where personal guards are let down and on the podium gets her phone number to me says out of the office chemistry among the women in the she and the sec robin addresses out of touch with the 1st time in a personal to human what the situation spoke. And the story is, species me. I are still at the bird, weve been all of it. You are close to be sure each i was with if i was not one post, i was valid and replies a lot of putting up a lot of causing i was 3. Was i a fool yet sacra been at the shimon peres. The yossi beilin. And to their friends, i say to you, throughout the end we will rally our forces and we will succeed. Was clear it was we will put an end to those threats we will succeed through was because theres no nation is much stronger than its government was. I was through rabin and arafat felt isolated in the hostile environment, was the peace camp wasnt going out into the streets to protest was instead they chose to avoid confrontation was the peace opponents hamas on the palestinian side, and the greater israel camp on our side. Now, on to Public Opinion in the face off wasnt between israel and the palestinians, but between those who supported peace and those who objected to it. Mr. Udell, of why do you like to make the settlers angry as much . What are they accusing me of now . Cut off forsaking the settlers lifelessly, why most people said that the settlements bolster our security. Where is the security a bit of all problem today . Vital security for those settlers who see the settlers as pioneers. Absolutely not. What do you see them as. d i see them as people who are implementing their political philosophy. They believe in the greater israel. These days. Some hill near ramallah bringing 700000 immigrants to israel and absolving building a society and economy of the tiny settlements surrounded by hundreds of thousands of palestinian in early october, john freedman, a friend of peres, convinced him to arrange a rally in support of the Peace Process peres. Urged robin to accept the initiative, but rabin wondered, would be believin leave their homes in those days, rabin was more pessimistic than ever. If too much is heard in the middle east from the few extremists tonight, the supporters of peace and a huge rally in tel aviv. This is the young israel, tired of obvious service, tired of chasing palestinian stone, throwing children through refugee camps all sides are mobilizing. But this is now becoming one of the most contentious moments in israeli history for the past 5, perhaps no surprise is fighting, and there is a popular im about to put these very obama. It was the happiest day of his life. Ive known him for 15 years, like you never seen him so happy. He has many down there. He didnt know if people would show up or call how they behave. And to his pleasant surprise, the crowd was enormous. And the enthusiasm was incredible. And young men and women jumped into the pool in their clothes and crazy and peace and me to a little joke about the mission from i had known him for 15 years and i never saw him seeing that was the 1st time i ever saw him. And seeing we both sang and neither of us so great seeing as the hard go afterwards he hugged me like he never hugged me before. I never saw him so happy as he was that night by a lot of people allow me to say im also new much i want to thank everyone of you for coming here to stand up against violence and own peace of god. So when the rally was over, i started walking down the stairs. My car was parked in front of his car and next to his casket, his driver. I asked him to get stuck. He said there he is. He was maybe 10 or 12 meters away from me. I got in the cockpit, tried to started it. And just as we closed the door, we heard 3 gunshots, strong
