with. the experience of freedom. is like ok you can visit but you call come back. and i work. greetings from berlin and a warm welcome to our latest edition and we've got a little bit of strange and a little bit of scrumptious lined up with these top stories. symphony of extremes presenting a piece of music inspired by d. and a. taste of home restaurant locally sourced product.

and house of cream. paradise in the italian sure. anyone who's ever been to finland knows that it's a nation of extremes and strong contrast in its seasons its peoples and its natural heritage well this year finland celebrates a century of independence and to mark the occasion the country's official tourism portal visit finland commissioned a piece of music that delves into the national character more deeply than ever before the symphony of extremes was namely created by setting the finnish geno type to music so to accomplish that a genetic research institute teamed up with a data composer and one of the country's best known musicians so let's see what it ended up sounding like. the symphony of extremes is as diverse as finland itself. i could top

in cellist and songwriter a finnish band apocalyptica based the music on d.n.a. samples from his countrymen. these people that have sinky have never heard the symphony but they suspect what it might sound like. music from finnish d.n.a. would probably be kind of. like. a lot of people are like don't think about too much about the idea anyway but yes was so fun if it sounds like famous people there like the famous beard bush sold it's going to be a pretty heavy. top and it is the most prominent member of apocalyptica for years the cello metal band has been one of the most popular musical exports.

top and then has quickly recognized twenty walks through the streets of helsinki he's composed dozens of songs for apocalyptica but he's never used genetic material as an inspiration before it took him a while to get used to the idea for the symphony of extreme. writing music from out of it's kind of i don't know what it means to be dead that was my first thought but then i thought that actually. sounds very interesting and that's why i decided to start to figure out what it what it could be and what would it actually means there were so many different approach possibilities to approach the whole idea that . it's a big challenge and therefore i wanted to be part of. finland is a country of contrasts. and lapland the midnight sun shines for seventy consecutive days in winter there's no sun at all for more than fifty days straight. eastern and

western fans with more different than german and british people do. most of finland five and a half million inhabitants live in the south. the north of the country is almost empty. at helsinki institute for molecular medicine finland scientists have spent years studying finnish d.n.a. . researcher yana sarla and her colleagues constantly uncover typical variance at the margins of the country. we know that there are a. few nice genome that. in the know them but the finland. finland finland. the differences are not huge. but if you will get the right regions in the genome you can actually tell from we have to finish. from. day

to composer jonathan middleton who teaches at penland stomper a university translated these d.n.a. variants into simple sequences of musical notes like the top and then spent long hours in his studio combining those sequences to express a sense of when but. for me it was also important to. the mental ten and six of famous people and the history of. the nation and where we come from and why finnish d.n.a. is so diverse and i also wanted to bring into the music the feel that my main goal was that when famous people there he had this piece that they feel it's very famous and that was for me equally important. letter chains you know because. they're basically just letters and nothing else. top and worked hard to ensure that

the various regions of finland could be recognised within the music. biz maybe kind of north. in. the symphony of extremes has now premiered in helsinki finnish audiences can find out if they can recognize their own d.n.a. in the music. on tuesday night the michelin guide for germany two thousand and eighteen was released and good news for gore mays the country now boasts three hundred michelin starred restaurants including eleven three start established well that is more than

ever before and certainly proof of a highly dynamic landscape that has many chefs know getting the first star is one thing keeping it is an entirely different challenge one restaurant here in berlin that's made the grade yet again with a strictly locavore philosophy is noble heart. where you had better book well in fact. you could easily walk right by one of britain's most fashionable restaurants noble heart doesn't have a flashy entrance inside the team led by head chef misha schaefer and manager billy wagner are preparing the evening menu although the ten course menu costs almost one hundred euros the restaurant is almost always full. of those with. what i do is often termed minimalist or reduced or focused with a focus whatever the case so i only put on the plate what i think it needs is well . it has to be fun to i was most of in for. radically

local is mission motto the products he uses all come from berlin or nearby he knows all the farmers personally everything that comes to the table has to meet his high standards most of his dishes have only one or two added ingredients like pike with onions and sage no frills to distract from the quality of the main ingredient. of them to lows must and what you find on your plate is usually just one product and something that jazz it up a bit that's all. what's also important to me is that portions be big enough so you can really appreciate it. not just a bite. tasting takes time so you need to understand how the food tastes to enjoy it properly in the decision. for sour flavors schafer uses very jews the juice of

on ripe grapes rather than lemons shaffer doesn't use pepper or chocolate either he looks for regionally grown alternatives here he dresses verjuice on the awnings. was as good. point as in to replace something but to look for something with its own. specific character shmucks beautiful to find tastes that are difference and. most want to do that you not only have to know how a dish is made of but also how people experience flavors. especially that make up on them what your taste buds need in order to find something delicious. of those. the fruit for misha's fair juice grows in the town of top that's where the violence key family is based in mid july the grapes are still green and small. would cut away some of them anyway so that the remaining grapes take on more flavor she

used to throw the cold fruit away but then shafer called asking for very juice since then they have worked closely together constantly discussing each other's work. here for some reason here we have reach a decision will harvest the relatively early because otherwise they aren't sour anymore and healthy acidity gradually declines and we also want a certain summer in us in our wine to line the. working together with local farmers allow shafer to get exactly the product he wants. in of his roots and i use virtues to flavor sorbets for example as an acidifier for many things with wings as if it's much too sour to serve as

a beverage with the but it's acidity is wonderful the gun is looked up and he always says very clearly what he wants for example michelle wants sour verjuice he could make it milder no problem at all a lot of people buy a small amounts from us when it's very mild long we produce or the way it's wanted has done with he would have to put it to him. a few weeks later the verjuice is ready and loren deliver it to noble heart and in berlin. schaffer is gradually expanding his network of contacts to bring more and more of the taste of berlin and the region to his kitchen. as a cook this for michigan's which character is very important to me i try to extract the character of the region and put it on the table and that's why the virtues i make with klaus well in ski is something very special as well as it says the only place in berlin or the states of brandenburg and mecklenburg for where it's produced at all and as it was well puts you at the head chef experiments every day

and alters the menu in accordance with the season he doesn't feel his radically local motto is a limitation on the contrary mission for has found his personal style and has made noble heart on one of the top michelin starred restaurants in the german capital. nears a can euro and on the heels of about all this week we're asking you what kind of music speaks to you is that classical jazz or maybe even alternative whatever it is please let us know with the survey on our website and thanks for your feedback one lucky viewer of course will get our your wristwatch as a prize so best of luck and looming right along usually it's green that means go but at the top of today's express the drive is purely read. on wednesday the london design museum opened the exhibition ferrari under the skin

it's like living here. i needed to really moved in right after it was completed. i don't that's the thing on the left hand side there's a small pool that i caused them to know the whole building consists of wood reason steel you come up with as you can see him these aren't real tree trunks but they're resting on sale it's in the best part of the house is the garden. well actually it is more like a mini far as. fifty trees are planted in the inner courtyard alone and some of their leaves provide shade for the apartments within in winter when their branches are rare they allow in more sunlight and warmth reducing heating bills. the thing about all of the flats have different plans and that's as up then i mean i'm going to show you around now. apart from steel untreated large wood was used extensively

in the complex both materials change over time in keeping with the natural world. is that come in with let's look around our apartment. inside as you did your rally and her family have one hundred sixty five square metres of space. what you immediately notice about this room with a huge windows which leads straight onto the terrace of the rhythm and this was. the apartment has an additional seventy two square metres of space outside. with it i don't know we're ninety thousand outside in the summer. all of the terrace and have these huge plantains. it's wonderful because you can see how the trees change through the seasons. and of course in autumn it's particularly attractive. level i think the special thing about the terraces is

that floors and ceilings are made from wood and glass so the light can shine through. i needed to really is a freelance translator who mainly works from home. with us because of this room i fell in love with the apartment. while my husband is working or on the phone or i am we can watch the rest of the family eating outside playing well just lazing around. in the rear of the apartment there are two children and two bathrooms. from our bedroom you get to the balcony that overlooks the in a cool yards. with the construction step by step because we're used to never behind it somebody must be more than we were always very fascinated by what was being created. to go i

always wanted an apartment with big windows and lots of greenery and in the end we found it right outside. life invented is not just aesthetically attractive and environmentally friendly it's also very sociable many of the neighbors have already become friends. and finally we will finish off with more greenery because we're headed to the bavarian forest that's a favorite destination for many germans it's located in northeastern varia and runs about one hundred kilometers along the czech border the german counterpart to the bohemian forest on the other side well in other words it's a perfect place for nature lovers with lots to do and to eat and as expected you can't see the forest for the trees. early in the morning in the bavarian forest mt blues in summit is one thousand three hundred seventy three meters above sea level making it one of the highest

peaks in the national park but the cold wind at the summit doesn't deter these climbers. we got fresh air and exercise we did well we accomplished something with this steep climb. the perfect place for a brisk autumn hike. an hour's drive away is the town of borden mys once a week it becomes the secret capital of vice of all sed deal sausage. that's when i bought flutes self-appointed the very end vice was ambassador explains to students everything about the sausage and the best way to enjoy it was. so this is not what advice should look like that's because vice fullest should be steamed not boiled in fact many things upset for its for example mustard from a tube or sucking a vise forced out of its casing rise were suck out the vise forced that's

impossible because it's too solid to freeze you won't get anything out without losing the scandals at the outer limits but you know false. it's better to bite off a chunk or make a surgical cut the king libby crosscut is for advanced students it leaves the empty casing as a zigzag work of art on the plate the abbot fritz's course concludes with a written examination and a diploma. most guests come to the bavarian forest to experience nature. has been a volunteer forest guide for two years now on the tree top trail coffee shows visitors how first can be made to wobble a special feature of this national park is that no commercial use is made of this forest. trees that die are left to rot where they fall promoting biodiversity. and then the guests climb forty four meters in a spiral until they are high above the tree tops and can enjoy the view.

if you see it's majestic you just have to see it live and like to see far the colors are so beautiful the autumn golden green it's so pretty. the tower fits perfectly into the forest only three trees had to be felled to build it. but toto me last see play is a glass blower in the village of. glass blowing has a long tradition in the bavarian forest. makes it all look easy and elegant but that's deceiving. mistrusting it doesn't cost what fascinates me about glass is that all the elements play a role of air to blow sand which is earth to make the glass water to form it and fire without fire it's nothing no glass will result in. the

tsetse a moment is twirling glass to make delicate jewelry six year old xena has orders a bead in her favorite color blue. five into the glass has such intense coloring and i think we live in a world that is much too grey and so it's time to bring in some real colorful and souping and. the result is a brilliant blue and the customer is satisfied and by the way hand-blown christmas ornaments are an unusual seasonal souvenir from the bavarian forest. i'm with that we've reached the end of this program so until next time for all of us here in berlin i just want to. assume that. next time on your own max shoes and shoe pastry a combination that's proved irresistible on instagram the man behind these photos
