a spanish wine it's made from grapes pressed in the normal way it was created by five friends and who wanted to revolutionize the wine world with their product live . the bright blue color is their trademark and marketing gimmick. and then we extract. from the skin of the right great. that's when the new come from so it's actually one hundred percent grape. blue wine isn't a category under each new law that's why you can't officially be called wine. some wine experts like enrique martinez are also a little skeptical. but not enough to turn down a taste. your thirty which is full of want to see what wine tastings will be frightened by the color of which if you want

but when they smell it it may well be surprised that it smells like wine you will. know what i mean it's not a strong wine. the alcohol content around eleven point five percent or whatever when you try it if you notice the taste a bit sweet i personally prefer dry wines that are one of those about the. spanish wine making is steeped in tradition so for some this blue wine is hard to swallow. owns a vineyard and he's the president of a spanish council on wine regulation. he likes young people to get involved in wine as long as the culture isn't lost. you know we know so much online is more than a drink. when you drink wine you're also absorbing the region it's from what. you feel the effort that's gone into the want of me in the work and hopes of the wine maker i'm not big enough for a glass of wine is a small piece of the country and the vineyard with you know why it's

a different story it's a. spanish wine bars have a more pragmatic approach as long as it tastes nice any alcoholic drink is welcome . the blue wine certainly arouses curiosity from young and old alike. but it's not bad but it lacks expression but if you know. that's taste is very smooth you can't really tell if there is alcohol in it. it was a little weird. the creators of geek alive are vindicated by their success they've sold more than four hundred thousand bombs in twenty five countries including britain japan and australia next they want to conquer the us market. costs around eight euros so. it's not for wine connoisseurs like people don't know all this kind of rule of how to drink it it's only for people who want the best wine and the best concept. you know

this is one of the world's longest cables suspension bridges located at europe's largest dam well it offers great views and white the adrenaline rush. without the boat full i've. been up front of me about one hundred twenty metres difference in altitude up to ninety kilometers an hour and one kilometer in length i've is the most challenging leisure experience in the whole it's mountainous and we want to give it a trying works well for you to see over the political. views of the roads beyond the woods and automobile that all the intrepid adventurers hang on a wire that's twelve millimeters thick once they start their descent there's only one way to go down. to thrilled with fantastic views of the.

food but you know if you voted over the book you don't exactly do you would have just catch your breath on. one of them a lot of hooking up flying out if you had to part of. the created between this if line and the dam one hundred metres above the ground the titan r.t. bridge clings to the slate rocks on both sides of the valley with a massive nine hundred forty seven tons of ten style force when built it was the longest of its kind. as if the length of it is how bush has been just put an extra four hundred eighty five and a half meters in length longer than the former record holder and saatchi and that's exactly what mike back who wanted to achieve ok by the way don't you know loses yes my brother and i thought maybe they were going to build something this big dog then we want. set a world record for once in our lives. and you did it your flattering and

completion took three and a half you know did you encounter any problems really enough to make the him i know to unload i certainly structural analytics were a problem here with environmental issues and all the red tape. it isn't every day that someone wants to build a suspension bridge especially around here it was pioneering work from cuneo but less mature and i think this makes the hans mountains more attractive to young people is it fun you lightening up the return on wood or. metal you get that it is as an insider i don't see it as much as we're told that's the case. that's what this project suits the harks mountains well you know a few mainly the area attracts more and more young families united venturers. i personally know a lot of people like that around here so yeah this is one is that i'd say we're doing our part you. played a good kind of i've put the i'll tell it like the best one to three and then the

other one. there's a platform for people who are searching for the ultimate thrill. you know no other day off and little nervous rightly so. i would not mind so. seventy metres freefall. until they swing like tarzan above the water. i would. have thought he was right so i did again but not today. to go screaming like that but smiling to be typical reaction in the middle as a. screaming prove that they're tough women. by a stock of media most people including men are stupefied. i don't make a sound during the fall i'm still when they started swaying back and forth then the

relief can be heard. and whether it holds the record as the monkees cable suspension bridge world wide or not it remains a great tourist attraction in the hearts mount. what if you like those views then do you check out instagram pages we prize images from all over europe on there that we'd love to share with you. 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 duramax instagram stories and discover how exciting and diverse europe can be. sol was on instagram. hopes mo yeast and water that is all the ingredients allowed in

a beer according to the german purity last set in fifteen sixteen as you know that gemini and berlin is home to a mix of different coaches and many people living in the capital wanting to jazz up the original recipe was saying the daughter of crofter been in this summer for the third year running the city hosted the bell in beer week which kicked off with a craft beer cruise along the river. there's something brewing in german beer glasses the craft beer movement is gaining momentum especially here in berlin. to write it all we are in a riverboat cruise to celebrate the start early and be a week there are forty nine different craft beer types on offer here most of them brewed in berlin with the capital of the german movement but don't the already have enough of different kinds of beer they drink every year eight billion liters of

beer and there's so many different types to choose from so why do we need trucks especially since it's more expensive. some brews would cost up to six euros a glass in a store. my kid meets up with stefan collini one of the founders of berlin be a week stefan says we need even more craft beer. why is that you try. just go with i think a lot of beer here in germany is totally boring and it lets you sure of the quality is good and there are lots of good advice from breweries that produce traditional kinds of peer they do a perfect job of it too perfect but i haven't tried anything new for centuries. the cruise boat is an excellent place to try out a large number of craft beers but don't worry you only get to try a sip of each kind they don't want anyone going overboard so to speak craft beer

fans from all over the world are attending the event including vu so me and give me no. she's expecting a baby so this time she's sticking to alcohol free beer actually i am in medina fits right now we have around twenty commercial craft beer brewers they don't all own a brewery so they rent a facility from someone else to prove their product. the number is increasing so there's a real craft group seen here in berlin here feeling good. it is a what percentage of the be a drunken terminate is actually craft beer action. it's almost impossible to say we don't really know what craft beer is here in germany in the us they have a clear definition that doesn't apply here in germany doing clothes mid-size breweries that do everything themselves or only those that brew india pale ale but at a guess i'd say around one percent. but a growing number of breweries are introducing craft beer to german beer drinkers new small start ups begin brewing every year. one of them is

barlow in berlin's crites bear district it gets its name from the slavic board for swap it already has an excellent reputation amongst kind of sores the container building was designed by the famous craft architects office this is no run of the mill brewery here the name of the game isn't tradition but creativity and handicraft skills the beer is only brewed in small quantities around fifty percent as for export some ingredients have an unusual aroma and the prices in the brewery restaurant are not to be sneezed at. as well what's your latest experiment and why is the beer so expensive and the timid pushing them right now we're experimenting with different fruits and spices like chilli we use costly aroma hops that are later added to the beer in large quantities. and we have a large variety if you always brew the same beer and use the same used and just

press a button well then that is a good deal cheaper. than the stuff says if you're going to stick up the official festival beer this year is made with earl grey tea. we're back on the riverboat some craft beer brewers not here to the german purity law although they don't have to but as adding things like tea herald the end of five hundred years of strict. content regulation. and being tended to get some is on the contrary it fits well together you can brew interesting beers and still stick to the rules but most kinds of beer only need the four basic ingredients and that about in the us i have school board and the purity law ensures the beer is of premium quality and that's what craft beer is all about to quality crop the alpha state and quality for practical everyone here agrees that craft beer is a high quality product time now for a small test where the craft beer crowd managed to spot

a normal berlin beer. here. thank you to speed this up and. told her. that allan said that they call managed to spot the odd man out of the market in the moment the people in so many are talking more about trough they have been drinking it but the people here on the ship believe that very soon in every good restaurant there will be not only a wine list but also at the end menu and any case it's a good addition to the good old john b. culture. well we're staying in germany now for number seventeen and i'll run king of this year's top twenty five reports it's time to hone in on the woman who runs this

country i go to machall this it to have party won the most votes in the general election so we took the opportunity to dive a little deeper into her life i know america grew up in the former communist east of germany and took a lot of slack i have presentation at the start of her career slowly though she gained respect and first became a leader at twelve years ago now angle america is seen as an icon around the world of fashion one at that. no election winner for the fourth time in a row and a political fashion icon. fashion icon seriously. who would have believed dead back there at the start of the one nine hundred ninety s. america was nicknamed helmut kohl as girl when she first entered the political arena she was the drab mouse from great communist east germany not someone to be taken

seriously. as if you sent she had to take a lot of really smart remarks. but they can always have time ships old killers this and made to sell it over by the time she was chancellor saying for a look that to day has become the brand anglo-american. milk of style trousers and a colored blazer topped off with a good haircut was set in two thousand and five the first she sported a bowl cut when she became party leader then chancellor a hairdryer became part of her styling programme. she won the power battle with her hair and with her critics too. but no matter how her hairstyle developed over the years her clothes remain the same the blazer is part of the chancellor's uniform it's got one cut but comes in many shades of color

psychologists are challenged by the choice of hue because they try to use it to determine her political intent. but america doesn't show her hand the days color is simply an expression of how she feels. not so much as a remark that she has three hundred sixty five. people copying her and she's become a model for women at brule it they say hillary clinton did this during her last campaign. when she appeared in colored outfits rather than black pants which salts and wasn't and she was sending a political message as well. have topped the description of the nation's mother used to be used condescendingly but merkel is long been praised now for how she keeps even the bad boys in line and for how she pursues her policy with her demure yet sincere men are reducing debt and organizing the budget plus how concerned she is that cares hollywood political campaigners

like richard gere and george clooney seeker support and she seemed genuinely pleased when germany won the soccer world cup in twenty fourteen that put an end to criticism of her mother hanna approach. i'm going to america came from england that call never rises to jobs like that she recognized early on that it's worse to resist and your attention to it rather than letting it just die down by itself. the hair style the jacket and a diamond is part of american style too. she almost always has her hands in this position. many interpret the gem shape as a sign of tranquil energy. and it's so strongly linked to america that her party used it in twenty thirteen and in this campaign as well miracles diamond is

a symbol of her chancellorship. merrily it's the tranquillity that she exudes like as a sense of security goes with it and you get the feeling that she has the tolls well in hand whatever it is. even though america is judged by her political achievements the chancellor also knows how to use the power of images. now we end the show today on a high note and i mean that literally as we feature british musician nathan day he's known for playing the flute but not in the classical way that you might expect nathan developed his own technique incorporating beat boxing with the instrument it's cold flute boxing let's take a listen. when nathan lee plays it first sounds

like classical flutes but not for long. but. he calls his mix of melodic tones and beatbox rhythms slow thoughts and it's something very few musicians have mastered i've seen one of them will. not like he used to meet box in and it's crazy man. appreciate it. beat box using your mouth to imitate sounds and instruments is as much a part of london's underground culture as street art but nathan really developed his on the usual flute technique entirely on his own. i want to. bring you know. under the next bit. but.

the difference. for two decades now nakedly has been the pioneer of the flu vaccine he and his band the clinic perform regularly. nathan lee used to be a construction worker his music career began when he was twenty and a friend gave him a flute. it's just it was an accident but it's played flo well i picked it up and then i thought. this is amazing it's just such that you know people think instruments that it's a nice thing to touch it's a nice thing to learn about. an instrument. it was. only with other artists most recently teamed up with. foundation.

thanks. he doesn't want to be pinned down to a single genre. that . way of playing fascinates people whether on the street at home in london or on the internet videos of his performances have been seen millions of times. but nathan says he actually doesn't care too much what others think about his music.

nathan lee says he will never stop playing the flute whether at home or on stage with other musicians. i used to play the play as a child so i'm very impressed that it is all we have time for on the side today but join us again tomorrow at the same time in place to continue on and to be a countdown. you know make sure i'm our special the latest fashion trends for comical in germany
