announced that to laying the closure of bangkok central station for a month. the station was to, to shut on thursdays, make way for a new high speed railway funded in part by chinese loan. sanchez, he was trying to return reports from bangkok for more than a century, while m pon station in bangkok has stood as a testament to tie independence in the face of colonial dominance. opened in 1916 at a time when thailand was threatened by british regional control, it says that the center of southeast asia is 1st railway network. but while m pong is due to close, to make way for new grand central station. at the heart of a high speed rail network that's caused considerable concern for many, particularly as china is the main investor on a va loan and why it's important to make sure that when china makes investment, how are we going to make people of this country or of this region get benefit from the investment. china has long held ambitions for a high speed rail network in to southeast asia. as part of the belt and road initiative designed to bring chinese investment to neighboring countries. laos opened at high speed rail line in december. but huge cost of the project laying line through difficult to rein has left allow government with a debt to china. the critics say will be crippling. after the military coup in 2014, thailand's ruling generals quickly signed up to a chinese high speed rail project. but ty, negotiators bulked at the high interest rates and plans to construct a network that ran the length of the country were curtailed. but when you go into the details, i would say that that i, bureaucrats are very good at tardy lane projects. when, as our terms and not favorable cause civil servant government officer, i'm a government officer. we are, we have been taught from the beginning that we have to do everything to protect the interests of our country. those delays a clear to see while the project well underway, work has been slow, and thailand remains reliant on its old rolling stock. the elevated shack has been raised, but there is still more than 200 kilometers to go before the final destination on the gulf of thailand. and those delays go all the way down the line. and this is bank got brand new grand central station below high speed trains arriving today. because the thai government hasn't yet decided whether it's going to use china's high speed track. and the crowds arriving at the new station on coming to catch a train. this is now the ty, capital central cove, at 19 vaccination center, with delays and the vaccine roll out this year. that's a process. the government's far more interested in keeping on track. tourney chang l to 0. banker. how much would you pay for a blank canvas? will amuse him and denmark has given an artist more than $84000.00 to create that piece. the frame was supposed to be filled with the cash, but all they got was an empty portrait. the artist kept the cash for himself as bob jumped june reports now from our book. this now a public and legal dispute about whether the empty frame is not, not or theft. just days before new cove at 19 restrictions forced the closure of museums across denmark, art enthusiasts in the city of audible. take a peek at pieces, questioning how happy we are with our jobs and why there never seem to be enough hours in the day. the exhibit is called work it out and museum director lassie anderson tells us one particular piece has created quite a stir. when you work with artists who they challenge the way we perceive the world . and you can you can never know what you get. the constant museum of modern art certainly had no idea what they'd be in for when they loaned danish artist. yes, honey. more than half a 1000000 krona approximately $84000.00. the cash was supposed to be placed inside these frames. an attempt to recreate an earlier work by haunting and to illustrate income gaps affecting danes. but when the canvases were delivered, they were blank. hunting had decided on his own to create a new work when he called take the money and run last off was really worried saying, oh my god, we don't have the options. we wander than wells, all the money the museum is displaying the piece. but there are also threatening legal action if the money isn't eventually returned. the controversy has both rivet of attendance an spark. the debate in denmark about the true value of an artist's work, which means the constant museum now finds itself in a unique position, exhibiting a piece that some have called art, and others have labeled theft. when we meet haunting in his studio in another town, he explains how inspiration struck. do something about the an average stains in commer. why don't you do something about your situation as well? so as the ness or no, no, i'm gone to a fantastic piece for the show. harling says creating what the museum requested would have cost too much out of his own pocket. he considers the new piece a commentary on low wages and believes that makes it even more appropriate for the art show. oh, i ask if he plans to return the money? no, no, no, no, no. the, no strictly, that's not gonna happen. back at the museum, we heard what visitors think. brilliant. if someone gave you a lot of money, i'll ask you to put them on a painting. wouldn't you be tempted? doesn't seem like an arc to me ever thought blank, blank. an argument that won't be settled any time soon. as viewers continue to ponder, how one piece can seemingly be as conceptual as it is literal. mamma gym to him as does either. elbow denmark when sprint james rushing. daniel, who is an associate teaching professor at the university of washington. he joins us now live from philadelphia. good to have you, willis. ah, it's a great publicity stunt. everybody's talking about it. but is it art? i think it is art and i think it's a wonderfully provocative piece. that's a very important piece in the contemporary art scene. i think that what haunting is doing is he's calling attention to the underpayment of artists. and i think even more provocatively, he's demonstrating the hypocrisy of certain kinds of organ institutions within the art world like art, fairs and museums. that can be critics of capitalism on the one hand and yet under pay artists on the other. so you approve of this? is that what you think it is saying to us this, this blank canvas? i do, i do think it a hunting is a provocative tour with a political message. and i think it is precisely saying just that, is it any different to saying what, what are they normal tangible tokens and f t 's that people are selling now, which are digital pieces of ours which don't physically exist is, is this a similar sort of thing? i think it's certainly related with non functional tokens. unfortunately, what you're seeing is not exactly a critique of the world, but really evidence of the world's hyper capitalism. we are moving increasingly to digital art and it's a, unfortunately, it's a, it's a wonderful way for the, for the rich to find a way to place their money. thanks. he had this, this out work that was finally over a $1000000.00 and then self shredded when it was sold at auction. what is all this say about where art stands today? well, unfortunately, what i think it indicates is that while there can be criticism of capitalism and of the world's capitalist entanglements from within art. that potential, the potential that critique is quite frequently captured and commodified with bank sees a piece. it gained enormously and value over $20000000.00 us dollars gain and value when it's self shredded. so the, the value of that critique pales in comparison to the fact that this is an enormously profitable venture. very briefly, aren't going to get very boring though, isn't it? if we, if it's going to self shred, if it's only available digitally, and if we're going to look at blank canvas like this. absolutely, in fact, many and f t artists claim that their work is not good. the artist, people who got $69000000.00 for an f t claims that his art isn't good and that is certainly a disappointing thing to hear. really good talk to you, james. rushing daniel that in philadelphia many thanks just ahead here. all that is on sport will hear from fisa presidents gianni infant tino as he makes his case to hold the world come every 2 years. ah, if america held up a mirror to itself, what would it see in a sense? race is the story of america. what's working and what's not, lot of people were only talking about that. it wasn't at the top of the agenda. if america can't handle multiple challenges on multiple fronts, we need to go back to school. the bottom line, one out there, m. m. mother nature's gift of colorful landscapes. a strong infrastructure governance arising where investments are waiting to flourish, where creativity even supplied by tradition and where beautiful possibilities are offered all be the hero, the world needs right washer. oh oh again, the government of care, gustavo is taking control of a private gold my and saying it have concerns about safety and the environment. the canadian owners, though,

comfortable. i just noticed on kenya, this was done only with comb total kyrgyzstan because they damaged our environment . they violated our laws, worked outside the law. all this was proven after we initiated a criminal case. as for the come to mind, it is a very big organization. it's the organization that could decide kyrgyzstan is destiny about hang on for the past $2530.00 is. they worked

gold and grow the economy or preserve the natural environment. a question that is likely to keep coming up as long as there is gold in these hills. zane basra b l g 0 at the come to our gold mine an

countries, the european and south american confederations vote strongly against the idea that a world football house did an online summit with member associations in dough hall to discuss the plan fif, say by annual world count will generate more than $4000000000.00 an additional revenue over a 4 year cycle. i spoke to infancy now after that meeting, he told me the revamped calendar should result in a fair distribution of footballs. well, there is a gap which is which is getting bigger and bigger, no longer club level, what it is already. huge, but also national team levels between or some continents and, and it's our responsibility to work and to make proposals on how we can not close this gap by bringing those were up down on the country. those were up, we need to make them grow even more, but we need to bring those one down up as well. and the proposals that are now on the table i think are going into the direction we have to discuss them. we have to debate them to consult and we'll see where we end. you wait for obviously assuring their research painting a negative outlook for them. will your proposal undermine and d valley full in york? well, i think that the reserve shot has been commissioned to my fees are 2 nielsen and to open economics. demonstrate that there is a huge upside and a great benefit for all, including in particular of course europe. this is important because we need to encourage those who are working well and new wave and europe works well . i mean, i've been there for 16 years, so i know that i need to college them to work even better to do even more, to generate even more revenues. and this proposal is exactly going in there. that actions, i think it is a win win situation, of course, are a few things to fine tune. and the few, how should i say, maybe more in depth, philosophical, big discussions to have as well, at least now we can discuss also based on some facts and figures and bring the discussion to a different level. and you believe it is compatible with player welfare as well. not only is compatible with play of her welfare, whether it is actually positive for player one. i mean, if i don't trust our son langer and the medical team that we have in the phone, in our network, or about that, then we have to stop here immediately. there are people who know the player well for while it's actually them. and one of the keys of the proposal is to reduce the travels for national team players, because that's where most of the injure injuries and fatigues this is happening in and also to guarantee mandatory recipe that at the end of the season. and another important element when it comes to players is that all players are competitors. so when you are competitive, you want to play and you want to play big games to play. big match is big teams, big tournaments. so we offer them as well. somehow this what you know, the head of african football patrice meant set, they insist, his consonance biggest tournament will go ahead as planned. and steph is visiting host country cameroon, and says, the cup of nations is on target to kick off on january the 9th. many clubs with african players at one to the events

carry on playing regardless. teams have been advised that if they have 13 fit players plus a goalkeeper, they should fill fill left fixtures. will 16 percent of players in the league remain unvaccinated. i'm predictable. things are going to happen and i stop complaining about everything that happens. one more and then then you'll find excuses. we can finance yours to anything. we know he's going to happen. we know that bad news are going to come probably. so we have to expect them, we have to to try to prevent them. of course we can, we though the protocol that we have, but we have to prevent as well have plan b, c, n, d. the national hockey league will take an early christmas break g to carve at 9 seen this game between the minnesota wild and the dallas stars to take place on

to whether the league will release flies to compete in february winter olympics. on the electric thing i think gets that is the case in my opinion, smart decision. i mean, i don't know who would really want to go and, you know, those circumstances, you know, especially, you know, i just put myself in that situation with the family and that's not, is there a chance that you want to run the risk of being stuck over there that alone makes it not doing enticing stuff. kerry was once again in game winning for the golden state warriors carries 30 points help secure a 113 and 98 when over the
