pave the way for digital surveillance in the chinese rouge city i use a tracing out can also read other data on my phone i'm scared that the government might accuse me of opposition if my friends will send me political messages. i want to see because i don't trust the government at all so no. scandal i would rather order home delivery of and dine in to avoid using be out about. what they're all happy that i'm not worried even if they outranks my life i don't have any secrets to hide as long as i don't break the law or. contact tracing it's effective when thousands of people are exempted from quarantine at the border every day with all the. fighting the pandemic is smart in the public health issue in hong kong the more critically is a matter of trust especially in the political climate of

but they will be kept by the government for at least 7 years if a person is in fact the governor empathize that appose has no privacy rights as i always thought they were on usenet. but if it was not

recent ratification by china of an extradition treaty with turkey could see them sent to china to say short trials or even imprisonment turkey hosts the largest exile. in the world some 50000 of them most fleeing china alleged to tension of up to a 1000000 we go and it's ethnic minorities and it's not western region. turkey has yet to ratify the extradition agreement but exile we are leaving nothing to chance doing their best to increase pressure on turkey to not approve the agreement. her father her uncle her grandfather several members of shamsi it could cheeks family were arrested or detained in china because their weakest. for weeks shamsi has been joining protests in front of the chinese consulate in istanbul where everyone here has missing relatives everyone here is hoping for a sign of life this is. what i think these photos are all we have we are not dangerous we just want our families back i don't understand why they are not being released and why nobody talks to us maybe they are afraid of us or afraid of the truth. stories like shamsi as can be heard by the dozen in the streets of satan who know the istanbul district is the center of the exiled leader community in turkey but now they're safe haven seems to be threatened turkey could soon rectify its extradition treaty with china for decades we guess fleeing persecution in china have found sanctuary here in turkey the country has one of the largest we got diaspora communities in the world but now many tell us they no longer feel safe. like useful for. he works as a cook in a we go restaurant the sot of

of extradition requests from china there have been no deportation so fast as our gain but pressure from beijing is growing was it upon the message nationals especially during the coronavirus pandemic chinese investments have become very important for turkey's troubled economy 2 major chinese mobile phone companies have recently announced that they want to invest here and the reliance on the chinese made vaccine i think china uses all of that to exert pressure on techie . with. china has given turkey massive financial support in recent he is with investments in infrastructure in ports and bridges but also with credits and loans however this has not affected the turkish position on the weed is the ruling party says. this extradition treaty with china is about criminals we have similar agreements with $32.00 other countries it is extremely wrong to present it as an agreement again so we got brothers and sisters. to shamcey a good sheikh says she has always been grateful to the turkish government for its support of the weakest but should the extradition agreement with china be right to fight she feels her name could also appear on a deportation list. optimistic i am now an activist the fact that i'm searching for my father and other relatives makes me a criminal and china's rise and now i'm afraid that what has happened to others could one day happen to me that. i does not want to. her protest the silent disappear in the crowd she wants for the fate of her family to not be forgotten. u.n. secretary general antonio good target has called a 1000000 miles biliteral rulers to stop repression and release prisoners arrested during days of protests many are young people determined not to let their freedom does appear under military rule it's something the country artists understand artists like dark or see frontman of the indie band side effect who tells us of the impact the coup has had. ah. we all were shocked. you did not mean you didn't do it there was some trend. here we did not take. but now you all of us like turkish here just. go see as a musician and record producer who lives in yangon he's part of me on mars sub culture scene which is taking a brave stance against the military the protesters are young angry and apparently fearless. we don't want to be seen as we more people have to join the protests we the students the young generation have a future we have to resist so we won't have to live under a military dictatorship the film yangon calling from 2012 gave an indication of how strongly political myanmar's youth culture is it shows rebellious young musicians willing to take risks the punk band rebel riot and dark o's band a side effect tell of life under dictatorship. when the film was made gen tun shwed was still at the helm of the largely isolated country but then came democratic reform and me on maher began opening up in 2012 side effect were able to tour broad for the 1st time ever their gig in a berlin club was their 1st time playing in freedom other concerts in germany as well as france and the united states fallen. off. i wish. this point. but you refused to do so. and that's exactly what myanmar's young people who don't want to accept recent weeks have shown how political rebellious. and creative generations e is they very quickly established symbols of protest such as the 3 finger salute from the hunger games film series and of course they use social media to organize protests and share the results of their protest culture like the song one day by punk band rebel riot a direct challenge to the country's military. and this song got hundreds of thousands of clicks shortly after its release revolution by rapper flo grows it also takes a clear position opposing the hunta. junko produced the song and he's taken the precaution of relocating with his family like so many others he's taking a huge risk by speaking out but he says it's worth it. i'm going to go yes i would rather i actually live in fear. a sentiment in evidence across myanmar's protesters continue to crowd the streets demanding an end to the cool we leave today with images of the people who want their elected government back with you tomorrow about. by dusty very muddy ties and drums we deliver urgent life saving boxes we give our everything to reach those who need us the most every box feeding their futures. boxes full of our hope of lifesaving food and so much more down roads with no names we feel asleep deliver relentless you know promise to make every delivery special. not just next day but every day. thousands of children still waiting for their delivery sponsor books today so together. to live the future is. hello and a very warm welcome to news from the world of arts and culture from our studios here in berlin and here's what's coming up in the next quarter of an hour. as. we feature the novel damien by herman hesse one of the most widely read and translated german authors of the 20th century. and the british photographer i was the philip wife who shows us the unintended beauty to be found in modern industrial landscapes quite an eye on. but we begin in the theater which has been particularly hard hit for almost a year now by this terrible pandemic performances with a live audience are practically non existent but artists are by their very nature creative and completely new worlds are emerging on the internet so how can fish productions be on screen like t.v. shows but still remain theatrical. let's have a look at what some theaters here in germany have been doing to keep the cultural flag flying. is this room still a theater space a stage or has it mutated into a television studio in the coronavirus era the tejada house you know like other german stages has had a radical crash course in digital presentation. i have it in the beginning i saw quite a lot of these terrible streams in the 1st few weeks of the 1st lockdown it was really as if the worst was being dusted down just in order to have something to show and then in the final i felt like the 1st theater people were beginning to really understand how this media works and were making more specific production. than i love life now. before we begin. yeah name in the past. when theaters try to conquer the digital space spoken theater is at a disadvantage choreographers find it easier to make an impact on screen still actress sandra bullock believes the attempt to give drama its own digital form is worthwhile. so busy and you hope it's a bit of a hope that in the future theatre will perhaps think about the subject more and there will be a kind of media library for the times when theater attendance is limited for whatever reason. so that you don't just have a camera in the middle of the auditorium during the 2nd press rehearsal there you really think about how you can make it work with these different means. after playing in both sides bog and like to. spend to see layer has ended up in virtual space. acclaimed production reduces the action to 2 characters it trusts the skills of 2 outstanding performers the hola and he ends heart. of the bill to fund the air to have to. sit on the horizon i think my man was like i know who didn't who by. the much hyped on it's way easier will always fail if it tries to compete with netflix. ways fail if it tries to compete with the fast card highly professionalised film medium which is what a netflix series is but in that is here is to listen i know it has to be the opposite raw cropped and that was the great thing to see the atlas faces as they added not as they are in front of the camera when our camera. remember panther see later was shown exclusively as a live stream the screen. a form of communal experience in the digital space as well. they've owned pillows for a. year yeah there's only spirit for that me. in. why this fight you want he wanted it was also important to you. in the end that you see that it is filmed so that you don't pretend we're making a film where the cameras are hidden but that they're visible and you make what we're actually doing here transparent that is making a hybrid of theater and television and streaming and digital or whatever you want to call it. in the seemingly endless winter of our discontent theatre is trying to expand its real space into the virtual even if hopefully in a few months plays can be resumed with an audience performances will change as a result. because we are after all subject to such a large number of influences there's insta stories that are 15 seconds twitter with 340 characters and the countless netflix series and i think the other just can't completely close itself off to the. theatre continues to try to find its place in the digital jungle it will only survive there as long as its audience remembers what theater actually is. to go to the theater again in our continuing series 100 german must reads a book by one of the great german office of the 20th century has damien is what's called a big little news room literally an educational novel because it explores the psychological and moral growth of the main character sinclair sinclair by the way is actually a thinly disguised version of has himself is david levitz in a moral quandary himself. being good is a nice idea right so why is being bad just so much more fun. author of how man has this book damien deals with the big questions of good and evil right and wrong the main character sinclair grows up in a religious family where everyone does the right thing but he's the black sheep as a child and a teenager sinclair is torn up by guilt guilt over his lies and later his sexual desires he wants to be good but he doesn't believe he can be enter damien another young student with an otherworldly presence and ideas that turn sinclair's moralist christian upbringing upside down. he had said that the god we worship represented only arbitrarily sectioned off half of the world the official permitted world the world of light but we should worship the whole world so either we needed a god who was also the devil or we needed to establish the devil services along with the church services that honored god when how man has a rope to me on during world war one he was grappling with a crisis of meaning and clearly he wasn't the only one the book hit a nerve when it came out in 1919 and became an instant cult classic if you're looking for a quick read that will actually make you think about philosophy spirituality and more ality than damian as where it's at. now can shoe factories shipyards trees all shoes industrial buildings be beautiful british photographer i was to fill it looks up the world in a different way exploring industrials faces with a special visual language and turning mundane places into something special in his . new photo book unintended beauty shows how pipes conveyor belts cables and machines can see through his camera lens become i catches a swipe or says himself he likes to elevate the everyday. images reveal an interconnected world of pipes wires and cables there a glimpse inside the industrial universe of parts usually concealed from the public eye this is where british photographer alister philip wiper is in his element he's photographing the inner workings of copenhagen's new armor a bag a heat and power plant. that can never resist. pipes in. the freezer it's wired. 40 year old allister phillip wiper has a very individual i for industrial spaces it has photos pipes machines and shafts look more like graphic designs or even abstract art he and doused the sterile factory halls with an artistic purpose and expresses his enthusiasm for them. i'm amazed by the way humans can build. your rock you are just. wow this is crazy the fascination for this is. from record kind of. desire to get into the places where all the people get to go. these images are no feel good calendar aren't there to our steel or for that. about 10 years ago why discovered his affinity for industrial complexes and started photographing them above all he's fascinated by their own intended beauty but his compositions also tell us something about what humans create and how. these robots will be able to process frozen pork fat for sausage making. this is a radiometer for atomic particles in a nuclear research lab. and this is an outer space simulator big enough to accommodate entire space ships. and on this photo is a giant container ship a vessel this size can transport around 850000000 bananas. one of the things that really fascinates me about this is both the graphical elements the size of it the scale the enormity of it but also there's like a story involved about the way that we live how much of it we produce and how much of it needs to be shipped all over the world. in 2004 wiper visited demarcus and stayed on he taught himself a target. he doesn't process his photos much on purpose i try to do as little as i can. because i'd like to work in a simple way it's not because i have any problem with with editing too much but i like to just bring out what is there already rather than trying to kind of add too much to. viewing his images we soon notice that hardly any people appear in them. and every now and then i do have a person a picture when i think that it adds something to the picture telling another story but these machines they're all about people by people. so even the absence of people his works tells about people about their needs and their creations for instance this green house is a plantation for medical cannabis. the museum of decorative arts and design in bordeaux france has collected his images in an exhibition i like the idea that people are amazed by the fact that humans are kind of building this stuff. but i also want people to use their imagination about where it could where it could lead or what could be happening. mr philip wiper is always on the lookout for new subjects his photographers are high keeps exploring industrial spaces while his images reveal their hidden worlds along with their unintended but subtle beauty. tended beauty is the total of his role the unique book more stories from around the world on our website at. facebook and twitter so that's it for now though. it's $260.00. because i want to give germany was the make the last few years have been quite o'brien. i learned the moment when it comes to. perhaps the biggest new hobby of mine i'm no longer afraid i'd love to be in the news there are pros in their accounts but when you
