Im burnt off to our viewers on p. B. S. In the United States and our viewers all around the world welcome we begin tonight with the man whose music was the real star in countless movies a composer whose work helped define an era of cinema. Ennio morricone has died at the age of 91 the oscar winning composer was perhaps best known for his scores of the italian spaghetti western films including the good the bad and the ugly a friend says that he died in the hospital from complications after a fall. In one of the most iconic movie soundtracks ever any american new school for the 1966 film the good the bad and the ugly over korea spending decay the composer found 6 a sweet hes unique style and approach. Im not disc you want to move. I dont describe images with my music. When theres an important movie its key that the music says what isnt said and what you cannot see. Him. Born in 1928 morricone started out as a trumpet player after training at a prestigious rime conservatory rushing film music began as a way to make some money but he was soon in demand. His music for once upon a time in the west is as famous as the film itself it was just one of many collaboration suites big 80 western pioneer sergio leone in. The film music i write is constrained by the cinematic images their exact length like a stopwatch when it comes to interpret in the music thats a kind of prison at a concert i have more freedom i can conduct faster or slower and be more independent and the audience loves that. Morricone composed more than 400 schools for cinema and t. V. As well as over 100 classical works in 2007 he was awarded an oscar for Lifetime Achievement and 9 years later he scored for Quentin Tarantinos the hateful as one him and nothing. Marconi became known as the maestro he received a star on the hollywood walk of fame in 2016 and he celebrated as the worlds greatest film composer. Towards the end of his korea he went on to her with 200 musicians delighting fans with a Life Experience of the movie music magic that hell always be remembered for my. I want to keep the music going on right here want to talk tonight with Robin Rimbaud hes a morricone fand and a musician himself he works under the name scanner scanners good to have you on the program thought to me a little bit about the 1st time that you came into contact with any of these music do you remember that it would have been on British Television in the 1970 s. That time when you werent quite sure what was happening on t. V. And it would have been the spaghetti westerns of course it would be those classic films and just hearing this incredible eerie music. And he was known as the maestro the the composer of all composers for film how would you describe his music style. He understood that with film you need texture and you need melody and you mustnt interfere with the picture too much but the sound still needs to tell stories he some he was somebody who had this style that was kind of spiraling melodies with this kind of weird sometimes psychedelic sound sometimes it could be incredibly pastoral sometimes it could just be very gentle but he understood that music should not be bigger than the film it should be just as equal in a sense in that it takes a special gift doesnt it scanner to be able to know exactly where that that happy medium is between the pictures in the sales. I think thats whats interesting i mean if you know about morricone he scored over 20 films a year he scored so many films that in fact no one really knows how many films he scored at Something Like over 500 but through this progression he learned the best way to tell the story interestingly that he obviously didnt only use music so he used the sounds around him so in the spaghetti westerns you have the sounds of a sighing creaking you have footsteps you have the Actual Movement around you so in many ways you combine that kind of world of sound design and music in a very interesting way. How big would you say his influence has been on other musicians musicians such as yourself i think enormously i mean if you were to look at the social Networks Today they are absolutely swamped that everybody from every genre kind of mourning the loss of this fellow incredible i mean there was so much music everything from the band portishead a great debt to his style of music through to classical musicians through to so many film composers today the influence is just sort of beyond comprehension in a sense robin remember all the otherwise known as skinner joining us tonight and sharing his thoughts as the world mourns the loss of a composer robert thank you very much thank you well from the power of music to the power of Mother Nature severe flooding in southwestern japan as well for around 50 people dead and thousands of houses without electricity search and rescue operations are underway as bad weather continues to batter the region.

Back under lockdown no ones getting into or out of our marina until friday except under exceptional circumstances some people werent taking any chances but i think that this is very unlikely we were told we might be able to leave on tuesday but were afraid of getting stuck here so we decided to leave that part of. The popular tourist region on the northern coast of galaxia is home to around 70000. 00 residents people have been asked not to gather in groups larger than 10 and to wear masks in all Public Places including the beach. The restrictions come after a spike in coded 1000. 00 cases the Regional Health minister said the biggest outbreaks were linked to several local bars. And measures but due to stay in place until friday 2 days before Regional Elections some say such a short lockdown isnt enough. Were under confinement for 5 days and thats because elections are coming up but will this flare up be over by then we should be taking serious measures and closing down for as long as it takes. At the National Level of the Spanish Government says it has the pandemic under control but the returns are not down in galicia is a grim reminder that the virus is never far away from resurfacing. For journalist Stephen Bergen joins me now from barcelona the capital of spains catalonia region steve its good to see you we know that the government says that this outbreak is under control is it. Difficult to say i think the i mean you have to get in perspective. Excuse me and here again. Numerically are quite small whats worrying is the sudden increase ration of infection and it went up 10 fold in the space of about 10 days and has gone up considerably more in say korea other parts of country in europe which is a sense. 524 in your case isnt the case weve also seen an outbreak here in barcelona not so much in the city but the provinces over the past few days for 76 percent increase and the number of infections. I think it shows. The he authorities are being quite vigilant because were all talking about numbers of a few 100 over the space several days which in the scale of whats happening where its going to be trivial but i think the. Government is on top of it but obviously this was always the risk with easing the increasing social mobility people. Were saying most of the sense of. The fishing boat. The stephen. Lynch it means ask you the Scientific Consensus is that. Period is about 5. 00 to 14. 00 days and we usually have 2 weeks for quarantine so how are authorities are they justifying this 5 day lockdown. Well i dont think it is justified the thing is what happened is once we ended the 3 different phases phases a blow to the National Government then said it was up to. One of those regions with a lot of those in germany to make decisions about. Theyve made this decision it does appear to be based on the fact that on the 12th of this month theres an important Regional Election and so they dont want if they impose a 2 week quarantine every election would ever say place as as somebody said in your piece it does seem a bit. Absurd really. Doesnt prove anything to. The journalist Stephen Bergen joining us tonight from barcelona stephen we appreciate your time and your insights tonight thank you. Ok thank you. South africa has also reported the sharp increase in the number of corona virus infections nearly 20000 new cases reported over the weekend despite government warnings about the need for social distancing and better hygiene some communities are finding it difficult to comply a dream creech reports. Cape town one of the a. P. Centers of the coronavirus pandemic in south africa but theres little evidence of it in this if you abide by the mandates to wear a mask and social distancing is unusual. You see i was supposed to make myself. So in that thing was i dont let me know im not there for you because i believe very. Understand so im so used so im not scared because were going to but poor overcrowded neighborhoods is just where the virus is rapidly spreading many people here feel the economic fallout of the pandemic is a greater threat than the disease itself thats why a covert 19 mission from the Health Ministry is trying to convince potentially infected people and their contacts to enter quarantine. To protect your loved ones. Protect yourself. And. Probably wrong. Towns where we take you the government has massive funds into field hospitals and quarantine. More patients go to the hospitals the question rooms remain empty. People who refused to go into isolation how big of a problem is that were talking of huge numbers where this is happening its huge because we i think it was about 10000. Prepared for the current in an isolation. Out of those. 2000 and. 8 i do find that in those areas its the people who dont want of course the law does say that you have to. Hes out issue. Few people seem interested in the Awareness Raising Campaign in the township even though the region is a coronavirus hotspot. And im on this because it does so sad i said i do live in it and then its so close to isolate all of us says to stay in one that only you see so you couldnt get in contact in the state set out so its just because i didnt want to say i think it was because we could if we could move to take that deal so we was like what is going to happen if shes not to it and it ends many people here are too afraid to leave their homes for extended periods due to the high crime rates. In places like this self isolation is obviously very difficult for that young lady we just talked to lives with 9 people and it 2 bedroom apartment but many people here still do not really take the threat of the virus serious despite the fact that cape town is currently experiencing the 1st peak of the pandemic in the country. The government in hong kong has ordered schools to review their books for possible violations of the sweeping new security law imposed by beijing books must now be in compliance with the law which independence sentiment books by prodemocracy figures have also been withdrawn from the shelves of public library. Facebook twitter and google have all said they will no longer respond to requests from the Hong Kong Government and Law Enforcement authorities for information on users the polls pending further assessment as facebook puts it also applies to whatsapp which is known as the Tech Companies are among the 1st to respond to chinas new security law in hong kong. Its not just freedom of expression at stake the focal point of these protests and hong kong money over the weekend the new security law raises questions over common Business Concerns like the safety of intellectual property and Data Security and it lengthens the reach of the chinese authorities i think if you are a business and are calling it your own individual or even if your thank you go its all kong but i joke that advice im going to think of on kong as a transit start of irene not be holding up a lot of intellectual property and hold on i sat with hold any. I would have any excess cash in hong kong i would simply be much more cautious about it and i were treated very much as i wouldnt see the chinese city. Hong kongs calling card was that it wasnt just another chinese city that offered Legal Certainty and access to western finance but the mainland lacked. China believes it can preserve hong kong as a Financial Hub though its put capital into the island and mobilized allies among the Business Elite many of whom have deep stakes in the mainland on monday and even drove markets Hong Kong Stock Exchange close at a full month high when a Chinese State run newspaper encouraged bull market investment beijings message you can engineer the stability that business wants under the conditions that china want. To talk about this more im joined now by my colleague from the business Stephen Beard stevens good to see you so do we know why facebook and twitter are doing this so its not unusual for a lot of these social messaging services to comply with local laws when it comes to investigations when it comes to legal matters that are within the law and also meet those Services Terms of use and we say terms of use they do have provisions on human rights theyre not going to turn over human rights advocates in countries where they fear they could be persecuted and thats where we are right now with this hong kong laws that its very clear that the law is vague that it is meant to target opponents of beijing and that its being applied very loosely and so there is a fear that these requests that would normally be used to aid a government that is acting in good faith would be used to act to harm protesters who are expressing what these companies believe are is a freedom of expression so its also a good p. R. Move for facebook and twitter we have to say that it could well facebook is used to run you know users exactly why is the Business Community in hong kong being so quiet about this. I think theres a number of reasons i think you have to remember that there are deeper ties between a lot of hong kong businesses and chinese mainland and we may. They sort of understand and so those connections have been cultivated over decades and theyve grown deeper and richer over the years and i think sometimes thats easy to overlook we also have to remember the protests that really went a lot more it was a rant but the protests that were pretty strong last year also really damage the economy or thre
