And you may know years years weve got new and how last years germantown so now were bringing you uncle a man called as youve never before surprise yourself with what is possible who is magical really what moves and want. To talk to people who follow along the way admirers and critics alike how is the worlds most powerful woman shaping her link is joining us from echols last the. American poet louise glick is this years nobel prize laureate for literature but decision by the Swedish Academy surprise not just the world but also the author herself. Here she is back in 2016 with president barack obama but it was apparently pleasantly shocked when she received an Early Morning call from stockholm with the news the Nobel Committee said they chose her for her quote unstable poetic voice that with austere beauty makes individual existence universal. And for more about the nobel prize in literature im joined by my colleague mike a crew guy mike how big of a surprise is this when no one had her on the list but this was the case in the recent years that somebody once no one expected to win so the surprise has become the rule right as you might say but after the announcement we were all searching for photos of her. And that and that manny shes not really famous but its not a nobody its just obvious that poetry has not the weight that novelists do maybe. Its also may be a safe choice and just because after all the criticism in the last year we all expected a female writer right now most authors male or female can only dream about getting back Early Morning call from stockholm what do we need to know about louise glick well that she is one of the most important living poets from the United States. Shes from new york shes 77 years old i was when gary in jewish roots lives in massachusetts now is also a professor of english at the university she has also won the Pulitzer Prize in 1993 at the National Book award in 2014 for a collection of what iris yeah and shes the 1st american to win this prize since up in 2016 but you know he was a musician and was only 4 years ago lets talk a little bit about the prize itself so the jury that decides who gets this prize is the Swedish Academy its swedish literature experts living in sweden which i mean yes right now in the last years theyve theyve talked about maybe expanding their view of the world a little bit how they made good on that promise what is what is the signal what signal are they sending with louise go. You 1st of all the importance of poetry the set of all that. They really promise in the last is to expand their horizons trying to be more global less european more diverse and we have now a very important poet from the United States shes a woman what about asia what about africa what about their talents the committee promised to have all this from those continents on their list and that was really nobody so in this way the result is a bit disappointing but of course the best should win right now i do think that this diversity is part of a new discussion around the prize how respected how relevant is the nobel prize today especially after the scandals of the last years absolutely the reputation of the economy suffered greatly the choice of the austrian writer peter hunk for example was a gamble with this polarizing as you 2 were at the back and was and then the biggest scandal in the history of this price was of course about this couple the husband of one of the members of the comments he was accused of sexual abuse of financial misconducting he also broke the rules when it came to keeping the price when a rapper he told is always going to win in advance exactly it was all an awful story and all of this exposed problems with a lack of transparency and obviously its a very very exclusive club and maybe it still is and i dont know if this is really up to date in our days now Michael Krueger thank you so much for coming on the show thank you. And some more news now from the art world a 700 year old scroll has sold for 34000000 euros at an auction in hong kong the work by chinese master ren ren is titled 5 drunken princes returning on horseback now it was chinas last emperor who transported the scroll out of the fur bit in city in 1902. Dead animals on display in london that can only mean one thing the wild child of the 1990 s. Damien hirst is back the artist curated his own formaldehyde filled retrospective from his own collection of his own work worth hundreds of millions of pounds and its still shocking today. Also in london this years freeze week and art fairs have kicked off but with the coronavirus its a much quieter affair only some of the art is physically on display like these sculptures most galleries are trying to sell works online. Sometimes artists help us see whats right in front of our noses take walls for instance theyre everywhere walls protect us from intruders and from bad weather there is space to hang art walls also limit peoples freedom of movement at borders or in prisons so what do artists think about walls theres a new exhibition in stuttgart. Banging your head against a wall here maurits your cattle and takes the saying a step further. 30 artists says she works of art all try to answer the question what is a wall the walls presented at the concert news in stuttgart reveal artist answers from the past 50 years this will be his new village sram built it all rather destroyed it is specially for the exhibition. Its also i made a hole and the idea is that the spatial elements can then permeate each other and create openings new perspectives annoyed distinctiveness followed. Another perspective is introduced by berlin artist she believes. The best necessarily in the west people imagine walls as something stable something that cant be moved to something made of stone or brick im originally from korea and wanted to give the subject an asian perspective. In Asian Countries were also more perceived as something flexible more permeable. Walls in arent. Much more than the bare surfaces of a white cube style gallery. Here theyre even kind of cozy at least at 1st sight. Read from but as to who gets this work by the rest of you who read it is about the viewer seeing the wallpaper as beautiful in but on closer inspection you discover that the ornamental pattern is a collection of violence scenes in. The exhibition addresses the topic of ones own 4 walls which we generally make beautiful with paint or wallpaper but often its these private spaces where violence takes place are about followed me to show. The this word is architectural criticism in action for 41 days emily katrin chicks chewed her way through the wall of a gallery in the 1970 s. And this work by bruce nauman is about the very real concrete interaction between wall and an artist walls through the eyes of artists versatile surprising and sometimes tongue in cheek. Sometimes we forget just how much of our lives is designed for us from the vehicles we get around in to the clothes we wear our windows even our coffee cups all aesthetic choices made by designers and now with electric cars design isnt just about form or function anymore its also about sound. The electric cars that make up their real sounds when you push down on the accelerator. Electric vehicles are required by e. U. Regulations to produce a sound the industry is working the on the acoustics for these cars. Are very an auto maker b. M. W. Has even hired the italian musician renzo vitale to develop the right kind of sound. I enjoy the silence great but what happens if for example i want to experience the emotions of driving when i suddenly accelerate. Renzo vitaly composers a different sound collage for each model. He works on it just as he does on a piece of music that he composes for a concert hall. And sometimes what i do is just endlessly improvise thats where the magic happens a lot of. It so i consciously decided to bring vats into the Automobile Industry as well. Because i thought they must be another way of giving sound to these machines and these are picked equipped each car has its own particular resonance and that inspires the unique sound of rens of batali as compositions i close my eyes and then i open my eyes again and i ask myself what do you actually sound like when you talk to me what would your voice be. Composing the sound for this electric prototype has been a unique experience. And. He spent 5 days and nights at the Hollywood Studio oscar winning german film composer hans zimmer who knows how important proper acoustics are. Sound to 5 person larger. It adds a brochure that through a character. Comes out of their lives the soul of everything right now we have a really exciting part shaping the sound of the future. And this is how the b. M. W. Vision m. Next sounds. Friends of vitale also delights concert goers all over europe with his music. His experience as a musician has been very helpful to him in the development of the electric vehicle sound. And hes already looking forward to the day when there are no more cars with combustion engines and street crossings to become concert halls but so is it the vehicles are instruments and drivers other performers out them and traffic is the most interesting sonic phenomenon of all because when you listen to a beethoven symphony its always the same but traffic is always different in. The car as a musical instrument. Friends of italian his colleagues are making sure that the acoustics of driving a car will soon be a pretty creative experience. Pretty cool stuff but hopefully b. M.

This is news of live from berlin germanys capital is declared a coronavirus hotspot the number of cases in the city surpasses a key threshold tougher restrictions are already being introduced also coming up their 2nd u. S. President ial debate could be pushed back as donald trump rejects a virtual encounter and rival joe biden says hell talk directly to voters. And a surprise choice by the Swedish Academy for this years nobel prize in literature 77 year old american poet glick is honored for her and miss. Thanks for joining us berlin has been declared a hotspot after rising above a critical threshold for new cases there german capital had already an ounce it was introducing tougher restrictions germanys Disease Control agency is also warning that the spread of the corona virus nationwide could become uncontrollable if people dont stick to hygiene and distancing rules german chancellor Angela Merkel says she does not want a repeat of the situation in the spring when europes largest economy went into lockdown. More than a foot has a new infections in the past day thats germanys highest rate since april when the kountry was to knock down has minister yen span warned of growing complacency in the population and called for responsible behavior the next 6w8xw people cooperate the chances of the virus spreading will drop dramatically like that its the good that this pandemic is a so a character test for us as a society and we can only pass if we pull together. In recent days authorities have tightened restrictions in high risk areas such as a capitol beilin from saturday on the words a curfew will be imposed on bars and restaurants as germany braces for soaring cases but according to the account trees leading vajrayana g. s rest trick sions alone one suffice is not sufficient to impose but people dont understand until the cooperation of the population especially in the coming weeks and months. Over the autumn and winter. Is probably one of the most important functions in the whole concept to intervene. With paul School Holidays about to begin the government has called on citizens to avoid travel abroad most of germanys 16 states have also agreed to a ban on overnight stays at hotels for visitors from highways garia in a bid to curb the surge of new infections for more on this lets bring indeed Political Correspondent simon young some in 4000 cases in one day what are German Authorities doing to slow the number of new infections. Yeah the overall strategy remains the same as it has been to observe the hygiene and distancing rules and where increased infections are seen to impose tougher measures and local lockdowns in some cases weve seen that in munich were also seeing it in berlin as you mentioned the german capital has now jumped about of that sort of threshold line of 50 infections per 100000 over a 7 day period so were seeing you know bars closed at night and other contact restrictions here as some states around germany have even gone so far as to say that they will impose a ban on people within the country arriving from places that have been designated hot spots using hotels so thats quite an extreme step to morrow freud a chancellor merkel will meet the mayors of 11 large cities to discuss what further measures can be taken i think large cities are increasingly being seen as a key focus of the fight against corona as you probably know Angela Merkel has said today that she doesnt want a repeat of the situation we had in the spring what lessons have been learned since the beginning of the outbreak. Yes and the chancellor also said that the best package for the economy would be an effective fight against coronas i think a lot of lessons have been learned horse medical authorities a much better able now to deal with the virus for instance separating patients in hospital there has been a lot of talk about ventilation airing out rooms make sure the virus doesnt spread in that way so i think theres a lot of things that the authorities are doing and will continue to do now simon earlier we talked to an epidemiologist at berlins Charity Hospital who said the warning of an uncontrollable outbreak in germany was unjustified. Not even in spring time. Hospital passage here to intensive Care Capacity it was even remotely used in germany we obviously are well aware that in some cities in italy and spain and also france and probably also u. K. The. Of there was a shortage in germany there has never been a shortage to give you a clear idea of the about 3 percent of intensive care unit capacity is used for 19 patients in berlin so some in the main thread their hospitals are unlikely to become overwhelmed why. Well i think its as that experts say its largely to do with hospital ok passage just to underline it in another way germany has already 30000 beds the suitable for intensive care for cove aids patients in another 12000 that could easily be converted for their huge theres a number of intensive care units that was set up around the country many of the beds there were never used so i think thats a key point. Were seeing an increase in infections among younger people they of course dont tend to get so severely ill so that could also help to keep down the number of hospitalizations d. W. Simon young simon much appreciated. Lets get you briefed on some of the other latest developments in the coronavirus pandemic in paris nearly half of all intensive care beds are now occupied by covert 1000 patients hospitals in the french capital moved to emergency mode on thursday canceling staff holidays and perspiring nonessential operations italy has seen more than 4000 infections in a single day for the 1st time since mid april the number of deaths in italy however significantly lower than at the height of the pandemic Russian Health authorities are recommending people stay home this weekend on thursday cases in russia shot up to levels close to the peak earlier this year. Turning now to some of the other stories making news around the world at this hour clashes have broken out in the indonesias capital jakarta during a 3rd day of protests and strikes against new legislation the socalled Jobs Creation law was approved by parliament on monday demonstrators say the law undermines workers rights and weakens environmental protections fresh clashes have erupted between john and armenia in and around the disputed region. The fighting comes ahead of talks between the u. S. France and russia aimed at securing a cease fire between the 2 former soviet republics. The resort of the road in Northern Cyprus has been reopened after being abandoned for more than 40 years the beach front was deserted after turkey invaded the region in 1974 splitting the mediterranean island into the northern secret premier. Proposed a move which is backed by. Next weeks u. S. President ial debate looks likely to be postponed thats after President Donald Trump refused to take part in a proposed virtual debate calling it a waste of time and said hes planning to hold a rally instead for his part rival joe biden says hes willing to change the date of the next clash between the 2 leaders if the president will show up use biden earlier made a comment out now in your response and i think theres a lot going to follow the Commission Recommendation that he goes off. To say. Never know whats going to come out of our. Back. From washington im joined now by correspondent marsh waiter my where does this leave the debates. That is an excellent question michael theres been so much back and forth even just today you know look it feels like every hour theres another contradictory announcement and things are up in the air for the moment lets be honest honestly after the 1st to be last week which was really an abysmal experience for everyone theres been a lot of calls which is not how the 2nd 2 debates lets remember that we are president ial debates are not enshrined in law they are tradition they are supposed to be a courtesy to let the voters know more about their candidates get to know them a little bit more see their personalities see them in actions but they dont have to happen now it would be unprecedented at least in modern history to cancel those next 2 debates but this is ben lets be honest for 8 years of some unprecedented events happening so it would not necessarily be that much of a surprise if it were to be canceled so lets take a step back for a moment and look at where the race stands after last nights Vice President ial debate how much ground to the Trump Campaign has to make up. Well trump tested positive for corona virus and he was in the hospital on several days when he had big rallies planned in several key swing states and these rallies are really the centerpiece of his movement of his campaign his supporters love them he loves them he gets energy from them and he lost a lot of time because he was sick as we heard he is potentially planning to have a rally and stead of going to this debate now in terms of the Vice President ial debate pence did his job his job was to show up and be the smoother more mainstream face on the Trump Administration to round out some of trumps more rougher edges and be the more palatable version of trump and he did that he stuck to the message he is a career politician and he did do the campaign a service but of course this is a campaign where 4000000. 00 americans have already voted 90 percent of people according to polls have already made up their minds so you saw what you wanted to see in the debate some i mean well theres growing controversy online over an image apparently snapped of the Vice President celebrating after the debate earlier today can you tell us a little bit more about that we had just seen pens defending the administrations record and a stance and actions during the coronavirus pandemic and then we see this picture of his arm slung around the shoulder of several other high powered d. C. Politicos none of them social distancing none of them Wearing Masks that really serves to undercut the message but also at the same time reinforces this idea of the administration it really isnt taking the pandemic seriously its not following any of their own medical experts regulations we know that there are many high powered people in d. C. Who are positive for coronavirus right now now we should say that pens pens is team did come out today and say that he has tested negative but the whole thing just goes to show that theyre not taking their own medical experts advice seriously. Marsh where the as always much appreciated. Switching gears here American Writer and poet louise glick has been awarded the 2020 nobel prize for literature swedish Noble Academy said she had one for her unmistakable poetic voice she is a Pulitzer Prize winner and a professor of English Literature at Yale University her windfall are several scandals linked to the worlds preeminent literary award here in europe you can spend a long time trying to find a book of poetry written by louise glued on thursday afternoon only a single copy was available at one of stockholms biggest libraries and in germany the author is currently not published at all yet the 77 year old is an established figure in the u. S. In 2016 she received the National Humanities medal presented by then president barack obama clark is an adjunct professor who has taught at Yale University since 2001 but this year she wasnt considered a nobel prize favorite leaks we have discovered looks poetic fois is very characteristic and its the thought that the 1st person narrator in her poems would like to be understood and is both passionate and uncompromising but there is also a great deal of humor and wit in her poetry and as we say. Many literary experts believe the Swedish Academy made a good choice. You. Can be is an important poet who has cultivated a devoted following his body is one here in sweden as well with a few and although she is still an insider tip she is definitely a poet who deserves a larger audience. After last years scandals concerning allegations of Sexual Misconduct and the choice of paper for the literature award this year selection is less controversial it with the chairman of the Nobel Committee said the group wanted to focus attention on literature again. And a reminder of the top story were following for you germanys capital has now been. In the last 7 days. More than 50 cases of the. 100000 people. Watching. Next my colleague stephen.
