isn't that went off near these rarely embassy. israel's foreign ministry says none of its staff members were injured in the blast. authorities from india and israel are cooperating in the investigation. and that's all for now. we'll have more at the top the hour and until then our website to w. com, our youtube channel, and our social media channels look forward to seeing you there and elsewhere. and back here at the top, the our, my blue cross. thanks so much the we want to be the number one for the crew to clean and her and pi a of crime rouge on it now to the sales one cooling and they don't currency then she disappears. oh, so trist. assigned natural phyllis about the world's most one said woman. crypto queen stance descend associate. oh d w

a unique moment in one of the most visited places in the world. at night alone in noise, fond stein castle in germany. few people get to experience it like this lemma. here . now, when you were alone in the consulate, not the atmosphere is completely real and magical because you never see it like that. it gives you an entirely different feel for what good with the 2nd was trying to do kind and if you let stories told by the peaches work when you it's really a very magical app must be a marketing system the

to restores tina. now i'm a bitch mikaela cristella are among the privileged few allowed to stay in noise, fond stein at night. they're both working on the 1st major restoration of the castle and are taking the opportunity to look around in peace. the. there are hundreds of animals and mythical creatures to be discovered. the state of unified for the city front of you can see the sheer wealth of the imagination that went into the furnishings. you notice it in so many details and no matter where you look at it. so there's always something defined to equipment that kind of us a hispanic assist, whatever stories everywhere on every wall. yeah. so when you can just enjoy them in peace without any one blocking your vision or without having to hurry because the group has to go to the next room. that's really great. yeah,

football. no response dining was not originally intended for the public. good, big. the 2nd had wanted it all for himself, but it is this castle above all others that has become an icon around the world. defects, floss, food, so new at this castle, functions like a legend types justice, which means that it's image is more powerful than what's behind them. according to you, sir, you enjoy this castle without understanding what it represents. an expressive looks else some $1500000.00 people visit noise punched on every year. 4 times as many as last have in teams it, which is also in the very officially, there is no limit to how many visitors are allowed in noise. schwann's stein is too important for bavaria, for that it's 8 am. one hour before the castle opens to tourists.

steph, enclave and teacher is one of the guides and cleaning is also part of his job. cleaning companies are not allowed in the chambers. the danger of something getting damaged is too great. so think phones either, but this is how every work day starts for us. think like we clean up the dirt lift by about 6000 visitors every morning. so the things are clean again for the next 6000. we the subway for the next 6000 and another 5 minutes. then the 1st tour is to arrive a month during high season 20 castle guides working parallel every day. diffuse between both of these funds. the organizational management in which punched on castle cannot be compared with the management at the sister castles of teams, and linda whole function, noise schwann's time is the machine. so we're almost like assembly line workers. we

have no time for any interruptions, every 5 minutes. another 60 people get ushered in. there's really no room for hitches. steph enclave and teacher originally trained as a tool maker. when he was 20, he happened to come to noise fond stein as a seasonal worker, and stayed. alright. almost from back when i started, an older colleague said to me every day of noise, sh lunch time is an adventure to tell you right here we are starting him on minutes to close the door here the for your attention please. thank you. welcome to the as long as thing castle most watson cost was for this chapter $1.00 king the big, the 2nd off,

the very low pet bus chose how are you looking to switch 20 years and he became king of that area. then he was only 18 years old. he'll tell that story 10 more times today as he's done every working day for the last 21 years. if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me. my name is steph, i'm and here we go. the castle tour has been timed out, meticulously no delays are permissible. otherwise there will be traffic jams and k us. now it's been exactly 25 minutes. 16 rooms in less than half an i work at the gym kitchens. so here we have the 1st bottleneck in the guided tour, and it took my house on busy times around 7000 people squeeze through this narrow

staircase. as you can see, that causes mechanical wear and tear because they pump into things where there was damage. it's tempting to poke attitude to visit as always, want to touch things anyway. they have this need to, which is what leads to the damage. we can see here. more than 5000 square meters of wall surface are affected. they'll have to be checked for damage and repaired by the restores tennessee. i got enough close to the noise me because when you were invited to someone's house, you don't touch every single. i thought there's a lack of respect to the man does the restore. this probably gets to more anyway, so we thought it is understandable of having a have to experience is important to you, but still we try to avoid it as best we can hook them for human. that's ridiculous . this for my the castle is undergoing its 1st comprehensive restoration since it

was built in 1869. the restoration is set to last 5 years. teen anomaly, which is one of the project leaders. and the last 4 to select the costs will hadn't been restored because with so much splendor, you don't notice the actual damage. at 1st glen isn't gone, it's with this one and the new system that she has. for example, you can see a typical plays visit as often touch. well we have on fortunately over the last the liar of paint, neither the tourists caused marks and wear and tear even in places they don't get to directly, such as on this treasure chest. let us shut out, it looks really creepy when it's magnified as this to the fact is visit as a shedding and dropping things all the time. mainly text,

all 5 is, but also skin flanks had all kinds of things. and that's why we have so much dumps throughout the whole room and how it my who, the stove of common for decades, the wood was regularly polished with oil. but that was a big mistake because it caused even more dirt to stick to the surface of service. that's good. so now i have like a sandwich. several layers of oil and dish, which is really hard to remove from the base surface start off. and it also causes a complete optical change surfaces that were originally meant to be honey colors. now the very dock my and one zip code for the the

items listed with this call. so i initially, well, i didn't have problems exactly, but i did think, oh god, so many visitors and it's only from the 19th century. it integrates under the rule . all these forgotten parts of the book that nobody visits all tourists rush to this one. so i was a little skeptical at 1st, but in the meantime, i have really fallen in love with the castle because you truly see that the key would week. the 2nd really created his own welto guns guns. i can have it as also have the . is it hitchcock and it's a tragedy on the builder of noise. fun, stein? lunatic. the 2nd i didn't want strangers or any one he hadn't invited to enter or

visit his castle. he would have been horrified. so this was the other thing, but the way he built it and by keeping the public as the awesome guy, he essentially laid the foundation for this tourism himself. not put this car up as a sequence august with these you might say that an agency couldn't have done a better job than this particular builder. who actually wanted the opposite by what has it. yeah, but you know, that's the least for how to and there is more making the tail of noise. she punched on so compelling the 2nd spent the last days of his life in the castle until he was declared insane and arrested on june 12th 18. 66 a day later he was dead. deaf and clave and teacher also tells this part of the story every day to those visiting the castle. the, i guess i left the on when it's not hard to guide the tours. but every now and then

the tour will unexpectedly become difficult. well, after 2 years, he and his colleagues regularly take part in emergency drills. although most of their work is a routine, an emergency situation can occur at any time as it did a few years ago. when the fire alarm went off, and then wham things got crazy. the emergency system kicked into play a buck an automatic emergency call alerted. the fire brigade announced that a fire detector had gone off and that we had to evacuate the castle. and then everyone had to get out of here and done this. hundreds of people had to be evacuated before you saw the fire department looked into it and said it was a false alarm. you know, small flag had flown into a fire detector and set it off the modem,

so we could go back into the castle. house colors. returning to the island specified are only 40 years old when he died, all the construction rigs ended after his death. the members of the king's family, they didn't waste any time. they printed the entrance tickets and opened the tassel to the public adjuster with half thrice about how to fuck the gun in you. the 6 people immediately began to connect this phase of this legendary and very mystical man losing the 2nd, helping with the building to it inside to several reports in the newspapers and letters and contemporary chronicles that report that thousands gathered at the gates of nice lunchtime dominique was at the time this was regarded as mass tourism today in the 21st century. i think we've laughed at this number. he's on todd

novices awesome. the $18000.00 tourists visited noise punched on in the 1st year today that many come and just readings based lifetime noise schwann's time had a big advantage of this. it was born as a tourist magnet at a time when a passion for the alps was emerging. and when photography was just taking off and come home, found it. and it isn't seemly photogenic units for me. yes, the, the last tour is over, but the work doesn't stop. no, some talking with theme feeling when the whole after a day with 10 guided tours which are noisy and cramped, you feel drain of ideas. so i go home. so we need,

i'm going to jump on my bike and right up the mountain, and then i'm pretty glad not to say anyone for an hour. kind see the business evenings, but this is one of my favorite places because of the magnificent view of the whole bunch fund goal castle. i'd say lake city and behind that is to hold. the facade of noise feinstein is truly really famous. there are millions of outdoor shots, but it's storied interior is rarely seen. this is how it's been for more than 100 years. the

contact phone response time. it goes, i'm it know sean stein's fame is also connected to the appearance of the postcard as a medium for which it was constantly used. i took this one, spend this if this picture of nice punched on both inside and out because it hadn't been sent around the world. it certainly would not be so famous today in the 21st century haga item, so it's so busy, and i think so, i mean that's, i need to compare it to the eiffel tower that isn't better than paris or the leaning tower, a piece of feed, which is embedded among many other sites on stand here you have a stand alone solution and get the sure it's in the dramatic the very and landscape, but it stands relatively alone kind of peace. i can stay in this font starting in thing fall of nice fun. schneider is like a monument. on a pedestal, it emerges from the rock not and dominates the landscape like hardly any other building. and it's white eyes and white is seen as

a symbol of purity. as the color of innocence with done comes add to that another crucial factor. it's integration into the natural landscape of the time, and no other casso in such a grandiose location can offer that this is the village of holland fun go. it's here where visitors start their tour up to the castle. holdings found that it has only $400.00 inhabitants, but about $2000000.00 visitors a year. the new 4 star hotel was recently opened here, with nearly $140.00 rooms at a spot. it's an attempt to keep the tourists in the village for longer stays, the many

locals lived from the castle. but sometimes they also suffer because of it is going to lead me long, hard for me to suspect like the castle has been with me all my life. i gave him a notice those seats. and if you see the castle for 365 days a year in your private life at home as well, and then you just want to pull back and draw the curtain long. so it'd be on your own for a while to see say the visit is, i mean, long runs, a souvenir shop. it's been in his family for 3 generations. his home is full of noise punched on merchandise to or he's even turn his basement into a warehouse. the latest delivery of salt shakers has arrived. his family history reflects how marketing turns noise sponge, dine into a brand of sorts. his grandfather took over the souvenir shop in 1934,

36 to have cost that ticket volume to the most important sales item was the post card. so besides matt and they were about $20.00 to $45.00 other objects for sale, it's it. so she's in the i think it on tight to have a today i sell about 1500 different items. i think the in southern meant his shop is located about a 100 meters below the castle. thank good. next you, you bought the met him. his grandfather used to close the store for several months a year because there wasn't enough business. i mean, long now keeps it open all year around 7 days a week, up to 11 hours a day, 6 for cost and the best seller for a few years. now has been fridge, magnets and different kinds in i'm body feeling in his shop is one of the few which still sells a lot of souvenirs that are actually made in germany across the entire as i

mentioned, short info who will also be price from the majority of people only look at the price and not at the quality i is as soon as i can either community. so, strangely enough, it's chinese tourists who don't want anything made in china. kina on and are shown suspect of they take pains to only by german or european things, especially the beer mugs that they want made in germany. german product and menu items have adopted this it costs. and so while you're good, they might cost more, but they're all hand made from stone. in contrast to products made in east asia or other european countries, explanation or the on the page and products. and this is, these are surrounded on the 110 your from an issue. so rising, so i have a complex to learn kazi, next you by you

a few years ago, i mean, long in large to shop, i have but he hasn't actually been up to the castle for nearly 4 decades. he doesn't like it there. he thinks it's too dark and crowded, but he's been down on the base motion. uh which one was it? however, his co worker be taking him has a different take on the castle. tell me about this just in mind. for me, the castle was always like a paradise, and it was exciting to come. uh, we had our own room and the people there had a master key. so i looked at all the rooms. please tell you knew everyone that was familiar and lovely computers. when i go up there today, it's over in 25 minutes, so call me once once a while,

i'm still wondering whether i'm in the dining room or the bedroom. i'm probably already in the dining room and it's incredibly fast paced now. and that's a shame has initially noise sponge done was not promoted overload big the seconds other buildings. it was just one of many castles and bavaria. hard to imagine to this thing that's good for she mcclinton logged us in void this various sources say that walt disney came here with his wife when see, and this is where he got the inspiration for cinderella's castle on these this last that lead. but there needs to be millions of people experience that castle in orlando and disney world, or disney land, or in tokyo, in, in talk your double in this respect, the idea this castle has been taken around the world. and the great thing is that walt disney still somehow managed to make clear where the original stands for lots and what what is organized. the noise sponge done,

reinterpreted for american tastes. the 1st cinderella castle was built in 1955 the this like this is quite conceivable that walt disney or his studio staff got even more ideas for their work from the castle. be it from the minstrels. gallery or seniors are born, where there is this picture of the far as often the many even suspect that this illustration from the saga of the holy grail was a source of inspiration. for disney's bambi the be by the should focus most game be how to even if the bavarian tourist board pump millions into advertising, they wouldn't, they would still never have the same effect as disney does for noise fungi, automatic clean spot and free of charge. that's the noise sponge done as an object of projection. today, the castles, real history is largely hidden behind

a few questions. it's like a fairy tales like something that's not real in america. we don't have anything like this. it's a very nice you know, so the artist story in mock with sprung and back was only 8 years old when he visited noise punched on for the 1st time. since then he's been collecting everything to do with its history. and the way it's been marketed. he's brought along the most absurd items in his huge collection, like a bit of the castle roof, which cost about $80.00 yours. put in the condition was a really bizarre and abstruse objects like this, but our dish with noise fund stein depicted are from the seventy's. we need to put

that towards the on why the collection is called nice launched on it all isn't clear to manage why ne, even the decoration has no relation to the castle high. the troops and flaws during the not email and friends of mine were in ireland. and brought this, allow me back with them quite today. and this is a lot of me with the bosses. this head is, this is, was fairly and salami sold in ireland is german drama, supposedly it's good when the school does allow me, i guess something extra was needed to underline the quality. so the view of noise sponge time was added to adjust the price and the sweep on here. and there might be honest usefulness on sunday limits. i'm yet cuz i see a if you take something people perceive is very positive that gives them a positive feeling. so then you connect that thing with one that's neutral, often enough places to, once you've seen that connection, 5 or 6 times and zip code and the neutral thing suddenly becomes and viewed with the same emotion, that light the same positive attitude. a long penny. so this advertising is actually saying much more about noise. she punched item the thing itself,

either because it says that noise punched on a weekends, a positive emotion in the consumers, calling them in the recipient screen. with the put the key for the image shown beneath the noise feinstein brand is highly lucrative, which is why the state of the various spent years in court trying to establish it as a trademark. the very a one, it's case and can charge licensing fees as well. as prohibit companies from using it in their advertising, the castle is such an important advertising, simple, and such a good source of revenue that it can be closed for restoration for even one day. everything has to be done during normal operations. here the minstrels hall is being restored to now move, which is looking for her colleague cuz he's supposed to be here. the minstrels hall is the largest room in the castle and the restoration work is going on 8 meters above the tourists heads. it's

completed now you can see the details. so i know this is bullshit damage, right? exactly. yeah. like up on the ceiling. we'll hold the water also got down here. let me see what we're looking for. tied. very nice. there's something here. and these to the 1st and yet this is the 1st time we're doing this, really going i the oldest says that it's necessary. it's of course that's a big responsibility. i'm going to finish the worker for antoine all on the ceiling alone. some 2000 individual areas need to be restored. michela costanza into colleagues have been working on it for more than a year already. this is how the minstrels hall should look again. let's just to see of some of the signature and when i was 1st and i mentioned was hold to make the offer. this is the image i had with make one. yeah. so it's really,

if you take the light alone when that how it reflects off of the gold yet, or how the color is here, interact with the sculptures into someone within squeak is really fascinating. system is and is here 1st thing in the system. right now the scaffolding is taking a lot of the light and even so the impacts of the sparkle is a bit reduced and took the 6th at this get in the it's 6 pm time for i mean, long to close up shop. you want something. okay . you pay and the stress has increased a lot in the last 30 years with more tourists, more souvenirs and longer opening hours. but it will all be over in

a month. i mean, long is retiring. yeah. same thing on the high end 9. got him. i also saw him move for decades and i've been setting up my shop in the morning, so i've been cleaning it in the evenings on the time coming to see light on people come and wants something then and hold me out of so and that's annoying. so i'll be glad when i'm done with is not, isn't that really, really this for, by have the, i mean already has a successor lined up you know, and tends to switch sides and to travel the world as a tourist the

10 o'clock at night in the castle, the visitors have been gone for 4 hours, but the restoration doesn't stop. the hordes of tourists make it impossible to work on areas such as this doorway during the day. it's come from pep and also they come up from the stairwells can only be right in the middle and testing. it's impossible for them to get past me license. they're usually also looking at the murals and have the audio guide. and then also i think i probably get trampled underfoot, i think is for the body to end the

carefully removing the layers of oil and dirt from the wooden doors is a tedious job. and he still has several hours of work ahead of him tonight. so this one that is confused, there's also a special feeling in a sense that perhaps no one else is experiencing something like this right now. it's something unique as a society i think is the every winter. something happens behind noise sponge times walls that visitors and never get to see the huge chandelier and the throne room gets its annual spruce up at 8 in the morning when the swing visitors come into this great hall. the 1st thing they see is this

gigantic chandelier. and the words you hear most is most like, wow, this the chandelier weighs about a ton the little bit, i'm always amazed at how much dessler is on it to half a centimeter of dust from all over the world. and there's tiny fragments, bits of shoes, holes, i knew that everything's in there. and so even though they got the skill level, i stefan k, been teacher, and 5 of his colleagues had been chosen to clean the chandelier. it's both a duty and an honor

if you were to go over it with a normal clause like you do at home and it would be like fine sandpaper, which would remove the thin layer a cold list. of course, this must have happened, which is why we use soft lambs hairbrushes to avoid scratching the surface when we're cleaning it. they have less than an hour to finish the job. you need to stay sharp because we need to finish quickly. the 1st guess will be arriving attendance the shell. my sons on the lookout with shines. so it looks good, almost new. now we can put it back up in the jobs done for another year.

for winter used to be the low season. 2 and the staff could catch their breath, but they can't do that anymore. they say no response done is either busy or very busy the combination of cold temperatures and tourist bringing lots of humidity into the castle is a major problem. restore teen a number which has been observing the consequences for years. for example, in the royal living room, the closest the campus, this is more or less the coldest corner in the whole castle on that. because we have 30 high humidity it condenses on the cold surfaces as if you haven't here. it's even been completely, i stop here in winter because the walls are so incredibly cold due to the weather penetrating in from outside when divorced. and imagine a cold be and a be

a god with the condensation running down the outside of the glass. that's how it is here in the cold with without of the so these very cold surfaces are permanently went and salt dissolves into the plaster and forms little needles to press into the painting layer, leaving band polasta underneath the on the left on it, we're going to put some police a study by the fallen hole for institute shows just how big the moisture problem is. every year, taurus springs, 13 tons of water into the throne room alone. the remarkable thing is, most of it doesn't come into the castle through wet clothes, but it's created solely by the visitors, breath and sweat the sheets list. i'm happy idea with humidity and lots of castles, but here in noise fondest on, it's on a completely different scale because the impacts revisit has is great to hear. but

noise sponge done also has a great advantage. and the 19th century, good, big the 2nd acquitted, with the latest technology such as this central heating system. it's no longer in operation. but the old heating shots can be used for a modern ventilation system today. so it's great that look, think the 2nd to quit the whole castle with heating systems and as shops. because now we can use the shots without having to drill new ones. shakespeare, this is much kind to to the causal and we are really very grateful that the whole thing is being present for us from the time that's construction. busy yeah, and that loop with the 2nd was so forward, looking at the flight was the same as a full sized sofa. tourists aren't aware that they're actually being blow dried in the entrance area. we've installed the

ventilation opening up here and log in and that blows him dry and out. and then fax it again at the back up to the idea of is to use the s cycles to pre drive the visitors from the office. they come in from outside and are often very wet. so to ensure they don't bring in a lot of moisture, i try to blow as much else again as possible. right here in the queue all with the visitors arrived in the plaza 4 months later on a rainy may day. a chinese tourist group has just arrived in owen sean go when she when use honeymooning with his wife they book the european tour because it takes in noise sponge time. i've only ever seen outdoor footage on tv.

so we're really looking forward to finally seeing it from the inside. yeah. it's a real shame. it's raining like this. you love, bravo, ha. this is the since the turn of the millennium, more and more chinese have been coming to noise, finds time using lang is retired n as in germany for the 1st time. this is one of the highlights of our journey is what the, what you want. the noise, sean stein is the most beautiful castle in the world at the symbol of germany, the chinese best. the nation with noise, fond stine has now gone so far, that there is even a replica of it. in china. the castle is a 4 star hotel and the northern chinese metropolis of donnelly, on its owner, went to the outgoing, especially to see the original. the most meticulous copy, however,

isn't a world japan tile park is a home for the elderly and disabled since they can't travel. the homes operator has built the most famous site in the world on their doorstep. but only the outer facade is a copy of noise fonts. dime. the interior features several floors of the 3 d art installations. the, the tour begins. most of the chinese group have never even seen a picture of the castles interior. the 40 it looks noble and luxurious like the middle ages to city

and then it's all over of the inside you minutes to do. it was wonderful, but i'd love to come back when the sun is shining and the renovation is finished. to see everything without the scaffolding and went way too fast. and we also see how i would have liked to have had more time inside and so that i could immerse myself better in the old culture. who can you go? said after just an hour in and around the castle, they're off again. next stop venice. as far as it goes, this coverage is called forced to looking at it. now it's hard to imagine that noise sponge times fame of ever fade suicide. but you shouldn't forget people's

perception of quality is changing regardless of where they come from, the thoughts we germans are also becoming more and more quality conscious. listen ok. so you have to be careful that you offer visitors more than a quick guided tour through just a few rooms in the castle. volume escape the to be something that i for some tourist, a photo is enough and as long as it works on instagram of, if they're going to be instagram level, they need the right conditions of a done gets detailed, but they're also tourist to want to learn something want to be taken back to the time of loued vision of it from less from ended side. so having that experience should also be provided for you because then they'll also come back to me and tell them where people about it and, and create the legend. at home they moved to us. so how is the various intends to apply for a unesco world heritage title for noise finds time. many are hoping that that will finally limit the number of visitors because of world heritage is something that shouldn't be marketed to death.

the the a pulse, the beginning of a story that takes us along for the ride. it's about the perspectives culture information. this is the, the news w,

mine's the leader insane. and feel the same way you expect and more different things from life than your parents. i just want to pursue what that's my thought or you think your kid is 2 different, risky, irresponsible, reasonable stop in port in those nonsense. i wonder if my son to read them or dr. joe, in the clubs, it's time to to get your generation with a sleep asked and then when generations flash starts, january 14th on dw is kind of fun. it feels like therapy.

the this is, do you have any news live from berlin? israel says it's at war on several fronts, defense minister you of god on says no one who attacks is rarely say. statement comes after a suspected is rarely airstrikes, kills any ronnie, in general in series. meanwhile, israel's right wing government is under increasing pressure to crack down on violence by its settlers to target palestinians any occupied westbank. the.
