this week on t.w. news. it tells us stirring stories about. it makes us laugh sut and cry the tremble and smile. magical images and big emotions that now. kino the magazine every weekend on d w. no there on a warm welcome from our studios in berlin glad you could join us and we are ready to go with the following topics. prehistoric

a new movie depicts the final days of stone age man. on the usual five porky gifts that are fit for a queen. and spooky xylo captures potemkin villages on film. so here's the scene late summer nine hundred ninety one in the italian alps a couple are hiking happily over a pass when they make an astonishing discovery an ancient mummy frozen into the ice and naturally preserved who will later make headlines as the ice man well experts later confirmed that he'd been lying there for over five thousand years the oldest natural human mummy in europe and what's more he appears to have been murdered well now a brand new film with specially created dialogue for the period postulates what might have happened in the ice man's last days and hours. he's lost everything

his village is in flames his family day. and the perpetrators gone and. so the man vows to take revenge and pursue the culprits that's how the producers of the movie iceman imagined that's his fate. i was looking for a mythical figure from our region to tell a universal story so i also wanted to pick a character that's not already known inside and out. where you have to deliver all those facts and. concentration. but at sea the naturally mummified stone age man isn't a complete unknown his frozen bodies kept at minus six degrees celsius the sun to roll museum of archaeology. when it was found scientists were jubilant by analyzing the contents of his stomach they reconstructed his path across the alps

and they found an arrowhead in that seas childer the iceman was murdered before you get on the phone up to before i started writing i tried to read all the literature on the subject then i wrote the first draft and i always wanted the story to be plausible no matter what actually occurred. that was my aim and i kept it until the end. it's interesting but the result is a movie about man's perennial fight for survival at a time when death looms large. german actor you can feel those plays at sea it was his first time portraying a stone age man. it was a challenge i read everything i knew how strenuous it would be in the mountains in the cold that would be physically demanding and i like that to me the story was like a thriller set in the alps fifty three hundred years ago a revenge story. hi michelle in addition to focal wasn't allowed to speak german in

the movie only a fantasy language based on an early dialect which used to be spoken in the alps. a long. time and i know a time when i had. a linguist develop the fantasy language especially for the film although there's not that much dialogue. this is and it will form the sauce it's like arc a typical acting it's like painting then you know you've got a picture and everyone interprets it differently but it still captures a mood that has to do with the colors so that's what acting without speaking is like and i like it. and nature itself posed a further challenge the actual sight of that sees demise self to roles alps are beautiful but unpredictable.

young and i don't feel we were lucky we didn't lose a single day due to weather problems. like a snowstorm up on the glacier which can be seen in the last quarter of the film. three days earlier there was no snow there when it looked like the canary islands but once we arrived it started snowing we were lucky. starting november thirtieth the fruits of this hard labor hit the silver screen and viewers can finally learn whether or not that seat got his revenge. from one gripping film to the next this time it's one from scandinavia and more in our express. the scandinavian movie sami blood was awarded the european parliament's lux film prize this tuesday. sammy blood which is swedish director amanda colonels

debut film focuses on the sami people it triumphed over the other shortlisted films one hundred twenty beats per minute the french drama and western by german director of alaska these about. the prize winners are selected each year by members of the european parliament all shortlisted films will be shown in the twenty eight e.u. member states until february twenty eighth at. the international exhibition vanguard live the experience is currently showing in athens over three thousand of vanguard's paintings and sketches are projected onto pillars ceilings and the floor of the athens megara. before coming to the greek capital for the traveling exhibition had been to thirty five other cities and seen by millions of art lovers.

archeologists in georgia have discovered clay jugs which suggest wind production in this region dating all the way back to the sixth millennium b.c. . chemical analysis shows that many of the jugs contain traces of ten tarik acid. until this find clay jugs founded in iran had been considered the oldest evidence of wine production in the world. he's a big name here in berlin but daniel bought one boy and is also a true citizen of the world the pianist and conductor has argentinian israeli spanish and palestinian citizenship and for twenty five years now he's been musical director of the berlin state opera while on wednesday mr bottom but i will be seventy five years old but given the pace that he keeps it will be precious little time for celebration. world famous conductor daniel

barenboim at a rehearsal in berlin. his whole life has been dedicated to music. baron one was born in buenos iris in one thousand nine hundred two his jewish parents were both piano teachers a child prodigy he performed his first piano concerto at age seven. i like the description best because i can say the wonder is gone but the child has remained. in one nine hundred fifty two he and his parents moved to israel. he made his debut as a conductor in london in one thousand nine hundred sixty seven and has worked with the world's leading orchestras ever since in one thousand nine hundred two he became the general music director of the berlin state opera a post he holds to this day.

don't forget that when i came here a year and a half after the fall of the berlin wall. east berlin was still an unusual place and not taken seriously by many in the west. and so naman by feel this. during the communist era berlin state opera was largely cut off from the international classical music scene but under daniel barenboim it once again became a world class orchestra. in one nine hundred eighty one band one made his by right debut and conducted there regularly for almost two decades he worked closely with the festival's then director. pieces by german composer he became a focus of barenboim's work. some fellow jews openly criticized him for that because rijkaard wagner was adolf hitler's favorite composer still there and boy

managed to get a whole generation of musicians and singers interested in voc his works. in two thousand and one than one caused a scandal when he conducted the prelude to wagner's opera tristan and his older at a festival in israel. this pic. of course i respect the feelings of holocaust survivors who can't or don't want to have anything to do with this music final couldn't. he but i don't have to respect them. when they prevent other people who thank god don't suffer from these associations from hearing this music. in one thousand nine hundred nine palestinian literary theorist edward saeed in babylon co-founded the west eastern divan orchestra here young musicians from the arab world play alongside israeli musicians the idea was to promote cultural exchange instead of

military conflict in two thousand and seven the orchestra won the premium imperialist grant for young artists. daniel barenboim son michael himself a world class violinist has been concert master of the west eastern division orchestra since two thousand and three he likes working with his father. because musically you can learn a lot from him we all do we in the orchestra all profit greatly from being able to perform under him and try to take away all we can still to be able to. and daniel barenboim knows that with his son his concert master the youth orchestra is in good hands. but he was

a fish to me study philosophy and he plays the violin and he's a great musician very organized this at some point you can take over the project and carry on and run over by the fear but barenboim has no plans to quit just yet this year saw the opening of the chamber music hall he had built for the barenboim saeed academy. here young musicians from the middle east study music and philosophy . mind. and then it's my job to use a somewhat vulgar word to take what they've learned in philosophy and teach the students how to adapt that into their music and that means how they need to think in terms of music and approach it. thinking with visionary conductor pianist philanthropist daniel barenboim is a man of many talents on november fifteenth he turned seventy five on this evening two he'll be hard at work for you might say he's giving himself and us

a concert as a birthday present. and once again we'd like to know what kind of music you love the most is it classical like we were just hearing or maybe it's even rock or pop that gets you up onto the dance floor whatever it may be please let us know with the survey on our website and as a thanks for your feedback one lucky viewer will of course get wristwatch so. pretty soon we will be into the pre-crisis rush on the countdown of shopping days and if you're like me and always racking your brain over yet another round of original gifts well then any inspiration might just be welcome so here are. five of the strangest gifts given to queen elizabeth the second. the queen doesn't normally travel on the subway but that didn't deter london's public transport system from presenting her with a travel card to mark the one hundred fiftieth anniversary of the london

underground in fifth place pre-paid oyster card but as the queen ever used it. the queen's footwear must be elegant and suit her many awful. colorful outfits so she usually opts for plain black shoes. but in one thousand nine hundred one the then governor of the u.s. state of texas presented her majesty with a pair of custom made company boots that's our number for the boots might have looked like this but the queen's never been seen wearing. the then princess elizabeth and philip mountbatten married on november twentieth one thousand nine hundred seventy they received wedding gifts from around the world including from the australian state of queensland it gave the newlyweds five hundred cases of tinned pineapple our number three a thoughtful present because fruit was in short supply in post-war britain the

royal couple donated the pineapple to schools and hospitals. in twenty fifteen berlin welcomed queen elizabeth to germany with military honors and this painting by german artist and you call leyden forrest it's number two on our list of the five unlikely is to give is ever given to the queen that work depicts queen elizabeth as a child riding a blue horse led by her father the queen was not impressed was your german president laughed off the embarrassing incident adding that. if you don't like it get national. it's hard to go wrong with sweets. in britain the queen's subjects include all of the unmarked mute swans but they're not the only animals queen elizabeth the second owns she's been given many on her

countless trips abroad the brazilians thought a pair of straw offs would make an appropriate gift for her majesty that tops our list the animals were clearly not suitable for buckingham palace and were handed over to london zoo. of course we are quite suitably amused well a holiday on the spanish island of majorca sounds pretty good in mid november but to be there all year round with the sun and the sand in the palm trees sounds like something almost too good to be true no ark of germany decided to live that dream for real his motto is boat sports boats that's my life and accordingly he spends his days driving all manner of boats as a passionate sailor and boat builder he reinvented himself as an all round maintenance man for the yachts of the rich and famous and so we stop by to see him . it's early morning in port on the southwest tip of majorca.

quiet in the harbor there's lots of commotion on this yacht there's no power and an acidic smell hangs in the air. needs to find out where the problem lies he caters for the needs of rich and famous boat owners they enjoy sailing the vessels he fixes them. a boat builder a plumber electrician carpenter mechanic hydraulic specialist sailmaker. painter varnish or fiberglass guy not to mention a good psycho therapist because the guys around here aren't always easy to deal with and one. assesses the problems that need fixing and then give up the work among his workers at the morning meeting in the clubhouse there was always plenty to do. we work from february to christmas go from one high season to the next there's never an off season. and his team look after close to one hundred boats anchored in port. most of the

vessels owners only sail their expensive yachts a few weeks a year. but the boat still need regular t.l.c. . checking and cleaning them and making repairs is a lucrative business some owners shell out up to twelve hundred euros a month for the services. and this is our mobile shipyard here we have all the tools and everything we need to do any job. and here is a sight to behold. this is our key changes to the bill and. one of those keys belongs to the brain of a three million euro luxury vessel it boasts modern controls a salon a large master cabin guest beds and a kitchen the point of view that was out on the water yesterday and its owner wants to use it again this afternoon so the cleaning and maintenance must be done by.

heikal no lock and his employees urrea quickly survey what needs to be done. ok so we have to check again the boat is not working and then we have a choice thing on the tick tick as far as i know the door is locked. many owners hold responsible positions and work a lot so when they're on vacation they don't want to look after anything which i find completely understandable they pay me so they can just come on board and sail away. i don't like point of view does british owner dennis ryan write i think he's on the millions with apps and now invests in yachts he likes to pilot them but doesn't know much else about them. so he prefers to pay someone who does plays a very complicated machines so you need a really good support service in order to enjoy the things in the social the contributes of it too so there were the to the who couldn't take time to fully

physics the kids with kids be floating. along with the technical aspects the cleaning is a major chore it's a constant battle against salt water dust and dirt and the refuse from parties celebrated on board the crew doesn't ask questions they just clean up the mess the boat can be tiptop technically but if the owner comes on board and it smells bad or there are spots where it's just a you're on a plane we've lost the battle for a long knock spends his life on the water he gave up his apartment on dry land seven years ago and lives on a catamaran in the bay of a. it's a dream life. sometimes i wake up in the morning jump in the water swim a lap around the boat. i sail as often as i can and i just take my house with me like a snail. i can't imagine anything better. hike oh no walk takes a dinghy to return to work. his last task of the day is to test out

a new yacht which is just left the shipyard. it's lowered carefully into the water . i'm happy every time i can pilot a boat even though i've been doing it five times a day for the last fifteen years it's a gift from god i've got a family. at some point hike oh no i plans to work on dry land again. until then we'll keep soaking up the sun and enjoying the fresh sea breezes in port on drugs. in europe at its best your imax brings you the highlights on instagram stunning landscapes spectacular buildings and mouthwatering delicacy our reporters are constantly on the look out with their cameras we look forward to your comments check out our your mags instagram stories and discover how exciting and diverse europe can be. follow us on instagram.

a potemkin village is a construction that's built to deceive others into thinking a situation is really a lot better than it is the term harks back to the russian field marshal alex on which potemkin who according to popular legend had a fake portable village built to impress catherine the great during her journey to the recently conquered crimea in seven hundred eighty seven while the story itself is a gross exaggeration potemkin or fake villages do really exist whether for propaganda purposes or even due to faulty planning and austrian photographer greg makes a point of tracking down. this town isn't in afghanistan it's in the u.s. it's all fake nobody actually lives here photographer greg has unearthed many such fake places often called potemkin villages legend has it that the idea for these deceptive facades began in russia and potemkin villages can still be found there

today like in the city of rafah reason it's a myth and we traveled there on a mission to find potemkin villages along the main road. but we didn't know exactly where they were we had to drive up and down the road three or four times as we kept mistaking fake buildings for real ones. for play so it really works for us this concept that the acquittal in twenty fifteen russian president vladimir putin held a summit in for the hosts billed potemkin villages the idea dates from the eighteenth century when gov potemkin was thought to have set up fake villages in an extreme to impress catherine the second as well it's a superficial thing but i think putin knows what things are really like and what state his country is in. this. is an austrian photographer and artist he works with an analog plate camera much of his work involves acquiring

permission to shoot his motifs and his artistic approach is always the same. i take one picture of each subject. that's how i work if i make a mistake or mess up developing the pictures in the lab that's happened before i'll have no picture this. long and no this town isn't in germany it's in china this copy of a german town was built by the architecture firm and partner. but hardly anyone wants to live here. action is complete. it was designed for around one hundred thousand residents but only fifteen percent is inhabited so the shops and restaurants are empty the apartments are vacant there are almost no cars on the streets let alone people it's a surreal atmosphere it feels strange. has traveled the world searching for

potemkin villages in sweden he found a test track for cars complete with fake storefronts from harlem new york. takes his pictures and if he was lighting with no shadows this brings out the phoniness of the facade. this is all for him that you know creating an illusion and then destroying that illusion by showing it to be two dimensional and with photos from behind that show the scaffolding propping up the visual illusion. it was a long. silence pictures are common static and they say a lot about the absurdity of our times an era of fake news and fake towns. potemkin must have been a visionary. and now before you know it it's time for us to sign off so i hope to see you next time until a bad choice challenge thanks for watching. next
