going to spend a day welcome to do. glad you could join us and acrimonious exchange has marked the 1st high level meeting between the new u.s. administration and chinese officials u.s. secretary of state antony blinken accused china of threatening global stability while china's top diplomat young deity accused the u.s. of inciting countries to attack china the testy exchange came as blinken and national security adviser jake sullivan met chinese foreign minister one year and young do you see in alaska and this is a glimpse of how it went today will have an opportunity to discuss key priorities both domestic and global also discuss our deep concerns with actions by china including. hong kong taiwan cyber attacks on the united states. on cyber attacks let me say that whether it's the launch cyber attacks or the technologies that could be deployed in the united states is the champion in this regard. i mean what the secretary bring lincoln laid out many of the areas of concern from economic and military coersion to assaults on basic values these are the concerns that are on the minds of the american people but it goes beyond that we've heard each of these concerns were from around the world. the u.s. does not represent international public opinion i have to tell you what i'm hearing is very different from what you describe i'm also hearing deep concern about some of the actions your government is taking a confident country is able to look hard at its own shortcomings and constantly seek to improve and that is the secret sauce of america well known by the mission that i think we thought too well of the united states thought it would follow the necessary diplomatic protocols meal us does not have the qualification to say that it wants to be to china from a position of strength you are not even qualified to say such things 20 or 30 years back because this is not the way to deal with the chinese people if you want to deal with us properly let's have some mutual respect and do things the right way. and for more i'm joined from beijing by government adviser and president of the think tank center for china and globalization wang where you know mr wong welcome are you surprised by how this 1st meeting between the u.s. and china has been. well i'm actually surprised though no surprise because i think based actually. you know a series of events actually leading to this conference is not really that encouraging for example you as a soccer is stopped at the sanctions on the chinese government officials but also sanction chinese companies a day before 'd a conference that has taken place so i think this is a. very a friendly gesture you know off to all chinese a taluk as i traveled all the way to the to the terrors of united states supposed to be take what they have read the map that was. very open it could use as a mayor and a tax so i think they have to define the none so doubts or i thing that it's got to stop it what does china expect from this meeting. well i think that beaton from the from this very important by a lot of beauty i think lisa 1st meet a high level between a face to face after a fight i'm station took office so it's a very very important and i think the what we you know probably chinese expect is that let's have a stock of the talent under normal discussion let's khandaan let's sit down let's have a face because face to face meeting right let's talk to each other and let us solve all the you know you know whatever differences let's know where you're coming from how we can you know you know accommodate each other and then they but find out sick undergrounds and minimize the differences that's i think what chinese want probably not a spot of minimizing the differences i'd like to bring in what young d.t. said in his statement he said the chinese values are the same as common values of humanity namely peace develop and fairness justice freedom and democracy so i'd like to know from you how is the hong kong national security law democratic house thing tom and about 2000000 we goes in changing justice and how are you not true chinese actions in the south china sea peace well i think that you know i think you know do you direct a young was why did he talk about. peace and development and democracy which i think you know has different forms on the phone that we cannot expect everybody come to one form of us of our for social one form of prospect i think what having hong kong hong kong stephanie good morning prosperity and all small piece on one has more to follow but so what you're not going to. are you calling with someone who's going to receive. why i think it's so it's up to markers it's a consultative democracy let it be in that exact it was was elected by without. thought and so on the delegates and the thought into delegates were composed of they were elected by different you know sean shoes and to a stiction and just straight so it's a it's a concept of democracy it's a different form of democracy so it doesn't take a lot of democracy i'm sorry i'm interrupting you but it's also a selective democracy isn't it because the people of hong kong well i'm asking for universal suffrage and what you have been hong kong is definitely not universal suffrage something that is the basis for democracies around the world. not necessarily i think that you know you have you know this online style but china has this subject democracy and you know they have it they have they basically it's they have a representative to from different walks of life composed off the selection committee and the next committee select a chief executive so i think that's the way that so they have a more unity taking physics kitchen off the couch or history back edition so so you know that works in hong kong and oculus for china so i mean that's where we can expect continue the prosperity and development i missed a monkey for a moment the view of this meeting is what both countries china and the us off of the one of the us position is essentially that it's in favor of rules based international order what is china offering the wild what are china all over the world after you know china offered over over one 3rd of a go get you to be close you know you know normally you're actually going up and down your china offered over 50 of us on a boat you can cross china is the largest trading partner of 130 conscious around the world china has never occupied any any territory never send a soldier to other countries when you have all of my sister i'm sorry so again i'm interrupting you but you have occupied editor in the south china sea and unilaterally about and this is they're going to go to us was relieved. no i don't think so sauciness see you know historically tradition has always been a chinese territory if there's a dispute with china because some of that was the country in the region in all doesn't have to us to come so far to come and and intervene so so you know so there's no there's no conflict there's no clashes little basically logic peaceful i mean it's not how you rocco iran was sure to follow afghanistan to me china is basically a very peaceful country tiny country why did the philippines go to the international court and bring an order which had the chinese actions out genesee any legal don't they find to be have its own right of course they can do that but china has its own right can do so they can they can they can discuss they can you know have meetings the last say on china has this code of conduct of some china meetings i mean they they always have meetings and they solved by by themselves i don't think indeed any foreigner interation on that and you know the convict on the nation they can't do you know whatever they're great upon so i'm sure this is an internal matter between china and countries in the region surely going to soft i just wanted to drop in you some of them permit me what you keep calling china's internal affairs do you know think it impinges on a rules based international order which dictates that countries do not take action especially when there are disputes involved what do you think they take unilateral action that the chinese kick having meetings or they have a regular meeting was aussie on the of the channel process around a one time cost $1.00 tempah story there's always in dialogue there always in the meetings in there as you know so anything is actually a friend of a country is trying to i mean they just you know that's a larger you cannot be active it is going on the president really being afraid to china many times i don't think that's a country has a very serious problem one final question sir do you think that there is a way in which trying on the united states can work together heading into the future. absolutely i think it's really i'm very sad to say that you know what the world is facing and i mean i mean. you know we have climate change are you sure that these. older people in the world and we have today are a lot of developing countries are also plagued by the study should even everybody's leaving on the deficit the warnings in the recession after the oldies upon time the . sponsibility to work together solving those common sense rather than you know attack each other and i think all those good like the differences i do not really what they should focus on the common strength for the mycon and stop the response you should understand show the responsibility for that particular u.s. you go over to google. you know are you going to speak any right or wrong way oh really even there for the timing but thank you so much for joining us from a moving car in beijing thank you thank you sorry but thank you. and john as relations have been just saw with the us earlier this month china banned the import of taiwanese pineapples citing prest problems farmers on the island feared catastrophic losses i was joined by as around 90 percent of taiwan's pineapple exports instead the feud has seeded a resistance movement aimed to challenge china's growing dominance across asia with freedom. after. the harvest is finally here but just 3 weeks ago beijing announced it was trying to pull in costs from the island for us over the past 10 years we have expanded our farmland 3 times to meet the rising demand from the chinese market i never thought they would impose the ban of the start of. the pineapples have nowhere to go. the bank came right before harvest time many kind of post already right packaging and export to china. but their markets do container trucks now 4 times a week each time carrying $9000.00 fresh pineapple to hong kong through trade out of chance that interest from hong kong wholesalers come in right after china announced a back. never stop praying since that day i didn't expect such enthusiasm i'm shocked i hope it gets farmers more confidence. has been pouring in from japan korea and australia. missed was that the man from the. last from the chinese market with crisis comes opportunity. we have to rely so heavily on the chinese market but we shouldn't put it in a basket it's time to step out of a comfort zone and try something new. i'm deaf of the behavior back again on monday by. more than a 1000 years ago europe witnesses a huge construction of. christianity for me stablished itself. both religious and secular leaders according to display their power. trip speaking. and create the tallest biggest and most beautiful structures. stone masons builders and architects compete with each other. this is how massive churches are created. contest of the cathedrals starts. on d w. coming up on arts and culture feminist fighters take on superhero sizes we'll show you the latest trend in street art and later on the show. says that. music video remembering the victims of last year's explosion in beirut. and there may be less than meets the eye the optical illusions of artist stefan pops. around the world women are still the targets of male violence and oppression that's why more and more artists are creating murals known as brave walls celebrating the contributions of brave women's rights activists like the murdered brazilian politician mario franco painted by a berlin based illustrator caterina verona. here catarina voronin or comes face to face with her fear her knees are shaky as the construction lift takes her to a position 15 meters above the streets of quite spare goodland from up there she works on her dream project. and moved to berlin like 2 years ago and a few months ago and it was always my dream to cower big wall and go you know i was always like. one day ok so yeah. this is my. what she has created here is an artwork with a political message a jury made up of members of amnesty international and the urbanization museum in berlin chose catarina voronin as design. is what they really like about my profession that you can be very playful and so there is a lot of there varsity hours of being in the illustrator because i'm not doing we're 6 all so in my daily routine life and i can tell some very small illustrations and sketches and it's also very nice to feel me so poor 1. foreign you know worked on her mural for more than a week 1st she primed the wall then sketched the image and applied the colors. and the result is what's being called a brave world named in honor of a brave activist and politician here it's mariel franco she was a city councilor in rio de janeiro who fought for women's rights until she was shot dead in 20 teen that was a shock for many women in brazil who took to the streets by the thousands in protest mariel franco continues to be an important role model for many her story has had an impact on catarina of our own nina as well. or are they wanted to make. a scene where to focus. with possibilities of women shows. inside which you can see in all of the small characters so it's basically about free human rights also for women you can be a scientist you can be a musician and you can be i mean it's just about free choice. the brave while in berlin is one of many around the world they draw attention to courageous human rights activists artists in mexico lebanon and portugal have also sprayed or painted these murals in recent years. but. the fact that her mural serves as a daily reminder for the rights of women fills catarina verrone know with joy especially since the situation of women in her native russia is often difficult in russia we do not have. a law against domestic violence and we're still fighting for this and you cannot imagine how i'll bet it is and it's like it's time i'm reading all of the stories it's not possible to to stay indifferent to not total outcry about the. brave world and quite reminds us to live courageously and have big dreams. i like to think that illustration is the usual text and you can use it as a to write you can try to bring some message to your list station so i was trying to be very clear with an idea of women's rights only your life and you're only one person who creates and do whatever you want with your life and do something to me about. more culture news now police in los angeles are investigating sexual abuse allegations against film star army hammer on thursday a 24 year old woman identified only as effie taught a press conference that hammer had raped her and 2017 your own words here you know a lot of debating where to go to well really made me. earlier this year armie hammer was dropped from 2 films after leaked conversations appeared to

coming filmmakers we meet at the berlin international film festival the festival is barely knowledge talents program is where young creatives come together from around the globe and that's where we met german director and editor constantine book who is now focusing his energies on telling stories from lebanon. director and editor constantine buck spends his time living and working in both berlin and the route he witnessed the massive explosion that took place in the lebanese capital back in august and then. mushroom appeared out of nowhere and it took a few seconds before the shock wave hit but. you know i think the scariest thing was not knowing what's going on is that what does this mean more someone talking more about what's happening or just so poor thing didn't realize what was going on months later it's still unclear who is to blame for the catastrophe many point a finger at politicians and have lost all faith in the state. edited this video for a friend. case it. doesn't say. young people in particular don't see a future in beirut or lebanon anymore i think that the structure really goes beyond the physical destruction and really destroyed something and people. are friends or family in their hearts and souls and that the structure is much much harder to fix we 1st met constantine back at the $2900000000000.00 on the talents program he'd worked as an editor along with cinematographer christopher own on the critically acclaimed film capernaum. capernaum explores the plight of children living in the slums of beirut the nonprofessional actors were plucked from the streets and much of the film is shot from their perspective. the film won it can and was nominated for an oscar capernaum is an important story about children being denied their most fundamental rights. today constantine park wants to process his own experiences in beirut he's currently developing the script for botox bale holt a dark satire that takes aim at widespread corruption in lebanon it's a film about the fashion scene tries to highlight the nepotism and mismanagement behind the glass even near. if we want to help in any way it's by telling stories from here and it's also by making a film here and employing our friends in the in the film industry and like have you know bringing there's so much talent here so the best thing we can do is. make something. the screenplay already has financial backing constantine hopes to start filming by 2023. in the art world it's called that's french for for a technique that makes 2 dimensional pictures look 3 dimensional and it's artist stefan pop spent specialty the result sometimes look frighteningly real. watch out a dangerous scorpion. but look closer and you'll see it's only an artwork created by. the artists from northwestern germany is a master of 3 d. optical illusions. stefan's eerily realistic looking scorpion took 4 hours to create he chose the motif because most people keep well away from such creatures . and you my most successful kind of paintings on this are those with a spider sitting on a sheet of paper for example people are scared of them will want. stefan pap's artworks are a hit and he regularly publishes them on. this video of stefan creating a 3 d. tarantula garnered over 12000000 views and. creating these amazing artworks requires a good eye and special techniques. after all stefan's optical illusions only work when you look at them from a certain angle. is the main effect with these lego bricks is that i stretched thin. so that when you put the painting down it looks as if the proportions are correct. getting the details exactly right is important that means adding the scorpion's shadow and tiny hairs on its sting. finally stefan cuts off a bit of paper perfecting the optical illusion. that is really important for the 3 d. a factual it must look as if the object extends over the edge of the sheet of paper one of fools us into thinking the object isn't actually painted on the paper. and here's a 3 dimensional scorpion viewed from one side at a 45 degree angle change your perspective and the fact instantly vanish is. ambitious plans for creating vast outdoor 3 d. art works. like creating a 3 d. pattern in a cornfield and then filming it from above with a drone to capture this effect. so. his
