a bit of jamaican flare in berlin. a so-called jamaica coalition could soon set the country's course under captain angle americal because the only parties willing to form a coalition after the german elections have the colors of jamaica's flag black for the christian democrats yellow for the free democrats and the greens whose color is obvious from their name but they have yet to reach an agreement and there was already talk of a jamaica coalition in two thousand and five back then the idea was new and unthinkable he said i didn't know what a jamaica coalition was when i heard it yesterday i suddenly pictured people with dreadlocks ratcheting down holding a joint with reggae music in the background and. reggae music. and today what did germans know about jamaica. we see sunglasses. the sprinter came from jamaica. i think kingston is the capital of jamaica plain as

well the weather sunshine the beach vacation. the island in the caribbean sea is more than a distance vacation destination there's a lot more jamaica in germany than many people realize. jamaican blue mountain coffee for example. all spice also known as jamaica pepper. marinated braised beef a staple of german cuisine its flavor and it's an indispensable ingredient in german christmas cookies. but this is an insider tip in germany akki and salt fish a traditional jamaican dish. barbara saltman serves akki in her restaurant yaman in berlin she wants to share her love of her homeland and its cuisine with truman's. don't know if you can eat that it's too spicy but anyone who comes here comes again

anyone who visits jamaica visits again. is caribbean the rum. office tasting of the fermented sugarcane at his shop delicious. he knows how to recognize a jamaican rum. you can just drink it away. it's something the way it's. still. has a typical jamaican. because it's a very comprehensive thing. comprehensive and unusual but good is that a favorable omen for a german jamaica coalition but such a coalition could very well over the possible legalization of another stimulant one also associated with jamaica. jamaica limits the public consumption of cannabis to medical or religious purposes

. for example in the rastafari religion famous by the most famous of all jamaicans. bob marley the king of reggae beginning in the one nine hundred seventy s. he spread the sound of jamaica to the whole world. musicians like the treats have made reggae a german success story to. berlin band have also landed hits with their songs. in. german artist gentleman released an album together with bob marley son. gentleman also sings in jamaica as part one language and is successful in jamaica.

in berlin fans of the caribbean way of life. and african and caribbean cultural center cheston tomlinson runs a street food stand there he says he'd like to see a black yellow green coalition governing germany. many more different. a jamaican. german. jamaica good. things that such a coalition with bring out the jamaican side of christian democrats. she has composure. it's a little like the jamaican mentality. she's religious and this god gives you a special strength. if they all work together they can do it.

with the serenity of bob marley. sprinter usain bolt. german jamaica coalition will be successful. well i did have to start somewhere to spread and grow riots that certainly won't sell america on is doing with her fashion label trying to promote clothing that's begun and produced without harming animals we have more on that coming up at the top of today's express. british fashion label stella mccartney aims to dress its customers in oversized clothes in spring two thousand and eighteen on monday the creations were presented at paris fashion week. stella mccartney products are exclusively vegan and sustainable the label uses no leather or fur i think for me the statement is why of people using foul why are we killing millions of innocent creatures every year in

visitors leaving last year slump behind seven point five million liters of beer were sold at the end of the year to do in germany standard reference to pull it up the word visa and it's been variant dialect for meto and the bavarian synonym for october fest. the british magazine at monaco has rated the top twenty five cities in the wilds today that. oss resident sixty questions considering a vast number of topics the danish capital copenhagen always ranks highly in these surveys often taken the number one spot but not on this occasion let's see what the editors had to say and how it's forwarded into the fourth most years of popular european city in amongst them on a list of the cities with the best quality of life.

if they've never been to copenhagen people's primary association with the danish capital the statue of the little man. for the most beautiful site is the city itself with its unique seaside location. british lifestyle magazine monocle and its editor in chief. copenhagen at number six ranking at the world's most livable. when we look at copenhagen one of the things which i think has forced a bit of a stumble comes back to connectivity public transport they did a great job of course it is it the global home of the bicycle bike paths here are almost as wide as street lanes because copenhagen is one of the world's most bicycle friendly cities and cycling is part of everyday life the city has more bicycles on residents every second person writes a bike to work. for trash the traffic lights ease the waiting

until to trash cans with design specially for cyclists copenhagen of course continues to succeed because they have the bicycle miracle in the city it is just so easy to get from a to b. to c. . just by going around on two wheels or potentially three wheels if you have children it's an incredibly walkable city. just over half a million people live here copenhagen's moderate size makes it a pretty relaxed metropolis. the cityscape is characterized by architecture from the eighteenth century like a palace the city residents of the danish royal family. classical residential and commercial buildings stand alongside modern constructions they are perhaps you influences are. mistake a ball in the restaurant scene two. has experienced in the last five

or six years touching the color barrier perspective is really right you know it is probably one of the most important to cities the world. cuisine began in two thousand and three when the restaurant opened here star chef. prepared his dishes solely with regional ingredients. was recognized as the world's best restaurant four times since then danish combining denmark's best cullen re traditions with dishes from. for example at the royal smoosh cafe where little works about a created a tiny slice of bread. are as handy to eat as sushi and are reminiscent of smear uproot the danish variant of the open faced sandwich. copenhagen success story. what we really like where copenhagen has started i mean it is your restaurant that means starting up your own shop it means launch your own fashion label doing things

with your own hands and that's where the great thing is that you've seen a lot of people coming back into the city who are not speculating they're not looking to build a business and then just flip it three years later for some crazy valuation they really want to be part of the urban fabric. all over the downtown area a little design shops like henry scuffs after studying in london he returned to copenhagen launched his own fashion label his designs have even been displayed in museums like new york's moma. copenhagen also stands for design classics like this furniture which is still produced today in a hotel he designed you can even book a night in the on a young son suite furnished with the original pieces. the capital city of design and. copenhagen wants to go itself has its share of planning mistakes of course.

monocle magazine says that why copenhagen only made it to sixth place on this year's list of well the most livable cities. we've seen extraordinary growth within the city a lot of new development but a lot of new development which is not very sympathetic to the rest of the built environment so quite buildings architecturally but we see a lot of buildings which have no relationship to the street. despite this criticism residents still regard copenhagen as europe's most pleasant capital. so many people . really enjoying it there's always happy people and. in the summer time this is a special place to be monaco magazine says reducing the twenty five percent value added tax in restaurants would be yet one more way copenhagen could improve its already outstanding quality of life.

while i'm yet to visit copenhagen but it seems like a great place to go what do you think what is your favorite european city if you want to write in letters night when you will be in with a chance of winning this travel set the i pods at the headphones that catch the bag and everything that is inside it will be there as well it's a fantastic prize and all we need to do to win it is fill in the entry form on our website. for what's. time now for five facts that you probably didn't know and this week the trivia is all about musicians who recorded the songs gemini has a high five. by famous songs you probably didn't know made in germany. disco queen penny mclean screamed our way to the top of the european charts with

a song. and that number five because penny mclean was really get. singer who lived in munich she was discovered by german songwriter and producer michelle. she was also part of disco group silver convention which landed two hits topping the u.s. china. brazilian sounds and sam the rhythms the south american sounding some ahead solved some five million copies but looks can be deceiving. but. that's because somebody janeiro is a purely german production of its number for the kids you probably never guessed came from germany but this song really got people moving to the beat of the two thousand and eight european football championships there it was played after every girl's school.

raese american police officer dances his way through this video and to the top of the pop charts worldwide. the song is sugar by d.j. all the insured so it just evolved into the people in his hometown of. it's number three on our list of well hits from germany. his own label and records. john and harassed. talley and producer george on the road and recorded a number of hits at munich's legendary music land studios in the one nine hundred seventy s. and eighty's the best known of them was disco and slim i love. singer donna summer is accompanied by nothing but

a synthesizer nine hundred seventy seven that seems like a crazy idea but today it's number two on our list of german produced hits the song became a favorite in the gay clubs scene and helped usher in the era of electronic music. an american artist crooning a german song in english that's the successful recipe for a topic of five famous songs you probably didn't know were made in germany frank sinatra's strangers in the night strangers in the night. extreme doing glance to those wandering in. strangers in the night was a hit worldwide the music was composed by german orchestra leader bat camp felt over the years others claim to have written a song but it's still credited to him originally background music for a film this song became the center of attention.

oh i love that chuen sometimes they call it classic that applies to clothing as well as to songs in fact traffic clothing items are always a good investment and for the skull that means kill it's like the traditional german later hose and german men have wore one at some point and it's the same with the scots in the kilt when you talk to the one lady who has worked for forty years with a top weaving mill and is just so ahead twenty thousand killed by hand i might add . kilts are fashionable and no one knows it better than elaine. she's been making the scottish tartan skirts for men since one nine hundred seventy seven so far she's sewn over twenty thousand kilts most of them at her studio in edinburgh but she works on them everywhere in her car at home in bed even while on jury duty in court

so what about. the question on the court but. not the fits with so well so while i was waiting to be cold i just sat and sold. the only instead produces at least one kill a day if she's having trouble sleeping she might manage three never tires of making them especially because many clients request unusual cuts or color combinations so for kilts of the exported around the world. john in the basement things are more traditional here the rule is woven into tartans on century old looms. it makes quite a racket when the yarn is thrown across the wharf and up to a hundred kilometers an hour so you can't be too sensitive to work here but then kilts are for sissies anyway. and there's the eternal question what do men actually

wear under their kilts. present and then you know we had underwear. new underwear no underwear. and that's why you never let anybody. by the time elaine scared retire she hopes to have made thirty thousand kilts and she surely looks well on her way to meeting that goal. o. ne another ten thousand more to go. now a stand up paddle boarding has been around since the forty's in europe but there are many people who fought about taking their animals out on the board with them well it seems the idea is growing around the world so we finish the show today with the fly on the wall look at how a lesson goes down with a group of canines and their own is on a jam and before. here's

a sport that can be enjoyed by man and animal when their masters take to the water these beaches go along for the ride please. stand up paddle boarding with dogs has become trendy. but before they hit the water canine ins master need to practice on dry land. why. the concept is simple if the dog gets on the board he or she gets a treat. right. it's purely an exercise in obedience. and it is really quite taxing for the dogs because they have to use their heads and they're standing on a wobbly surface so they really have to trust the person they're on the board with and. some find that easier than others. and i'm not at us three at all

and some need a little helping hand at first but he's done it and lots of the praise. things are going swimmingly for these four too. only lily is having some trouble for her the tour is a washout. after the dogs have done their part it's their owner's turn. while the humans are struggling to keep their balance henry engages in a fight with his reflection. at first most paddle boarders have just one goal not to fall in. school is going well the dog hasn't fallen in the water martin portly i haven't died. this year. the hardest thing was standing up and then standing in

not falling in and keeping your balance i thought he jumped in. all of those bodies of course but even if iraq the board a bit he stays on it's great. course obedience place apart they know they can't go chasing ducks and then everything goes smoothly. while his master is hard at work pepper takes it easy. this bitch seems to be enjoying himself to. new from the dust. and the list is rightly a likes it it's full and it's something new to go paddle boarding with a dog. and it turns a solo activity into a team sport. if you kind will imported the concept from california and started his own club near hamburg come direct as we all loved it from the start that we gave dogs the confidence to stand on the board made their owners so proud now they take

their dogs out on the water. the best of all going stand up paddle boarding together makes both dog and master fitter. and it's more fun to stall around the clock. on most of the dog is really getting much exercise but it's definitely better for them being left. that is all we have time for on this time forget to head to the website and top prize by letting us know your favorite city in europe well announce the winner at the end of the way and the details are on the website which is on the screen now see it tomorrow everyone on until then take the right. max. found out of the school one of them is in the city and the stated during
