you know what i was. basically this season there was nothing to back up the nation build. from. these we pieced it together some ways we can see more and more probably shoot each time and the scene gives me everything the way the winds have to give something back it's like feel obliged to it's. one wave surfer is fighting against unseen the sea starting january seventh on g.w. . the new year is boston approaching a welcome to a year until our countdown of the top twenty five reports of the year here are

three and autopsy five. pounds on bonnie dixon at the top competition from britain. pedal power presenting the world's slowest porsche. it's a good samaritan he's a man from croatia and his bed friend. falling into fifth place in the top reports ranking with an event that is synonymous with gemini the annual october fest one of the first things visitors do when they get to the festival is get a barrow of costs there's something that i'm a family sets up the f.s.b. a booth the type of s. one hundred and fifty years ago today they run one of the events launches bit heads and that is where the first keg is tapped every year feeding bestie.

that. will do six thousand revelers partying hard. to explain to me good morning latin a. little bit to short and humble family has been providing a very and special days brass on pop music and cheering crowds for five generations . he couldn't i make him forget that kansan wire is for a whole day and a night by spending a funny name head for an innkeeper it's something very special to have satisfied constant us of us so if we had to guess it's. the continuity comes from the family never have been taking themselves too seriously while demanding a lot of themselves and is that down through the generations and i think it makes a difference and knowing the fourth mischa's shut nama but it took a while for me to learn to do it right. it's just off with

a stick. the family success story at october fest began with the first mchale shopping hommel in eight hundred sixty seven for their one hundred fiftieth jubilee the family history was chronicled in a commemorative book it runs to two hundred fifty pages. i would be used to the idea of the october test above all of us and i always go to schottenheimer enough history to see it and it was just so incredible to go into the story and substantial on architect septa signed to shop in hamilton since the eighteen hundreds they used electricity early on among the odd jobbers screwing in light bulbs was a young albert einstein. munich's october fest museum has staged an exhibition in honor of the family's jubilee. we tell every visitor who takes a tour with us a little something about the shot. in addition to this exhibition just because the

tapping ceremony was invented here. the museum shows old film clips of the second mchale shocking hobble talking munich's mayor into tapping the first keygen his tent in one nine hundred fifty. that this line admit to his friends with the mayor of munich at the time thomas very much one who was riding in the carriage with my grandfather that makes one man do not care and she said you know why don't you tap the first cake. now at that time tapping u.k. it was actually beneath the dignity of a man but he was a social democrat and a man of the people so he stood there and tapped it on soft. and ever since the mayor has tapped the first cake to mark the official start of october fest eighteen day long party. but what is it that makes october fest so special. so of a great is

a crazy year yet it's only made back here i think that better t'ain't men's back then yeah i mean they are right at. the october fest moves with the times in the one nine hundred eighty s. the band chairs started playing other music besides traditional very unfold. you know as if to stay right on top of the times and simultaneously keep the traditions with soon to be developed or payment systems for patrons so they can pay over their cell phones because nowadays everybody has their cell phone a lot and it's ongoing. but despite the changes october fest is very much about traditions and the shop and how will family plays an important role. keeping those traditions along.

the. way. we turn now to a young artist who is keeping the art of poetry alive this is a form of skill dates back to the fifth century b.c. and it's still a traditional technique used in india and this is today british profit maker barnaby dixon developed a new technique to give the puppets more agility and often layering bats with some great characters he's made quite a name for himself online. don't worry this dinosaur might look dangerous but it's perfectly harmless. and some clever hand movements bring these featherweight creature to life. it's one of many finger puppets made by barnaby dixon a young man from bridgewater in southwestern england makes his property by hand.

deborah cheek the duck was his first creation. for me the puppet i'd seen before and the more traditional puppets didn't really have the same kind of fluidity and gravity as you were able to attain with stop motion so the result of stop motion was kind of my starting point and i just think i was thinking how can i make a live action puppets have the same sort of realism stop motion character. the special thing about the fun of these puppets is that though they are built around he's handsome they found love puppets. his latest character is manu. barnaby you can perform intricate movements that look amazingly lifelike. one of the often spends time in his workshop perfect in his puppets the joints are made of metal the bodies are made of

a combination of resin silicon and plastic. he buys all his materials online. one of the main challenges in building these puppets is you've got to starting points one that is the kind of ideal puppet they want to create but then you also have to accommodate your own hands and asymmetry in the way that they move in a way that you wouldn't kind of imagine sometimes. so i think it's trying to marry those two things and finding something that works in terms of proportion but also in terms of movement and also in terms of the static. tricky. barnaby dixon has his pockets perform every day situations on. always plays the lead role. he posts a new video every week the british the fight to feel the breeze rush through my

feathers software. joy lest we forget the purity of the waves under. i'd like to go home now please. interesting. technical skill the show in the creation. of the pop is what makes. it into something. also shows his puppets in local pubs. he likes keeping in close contact with his friends and not only virtually. puppets to the public because you get a sense of the reception for three you tube comments and through people liking it and things like that. you know people's faces when they see and when

i see people's reactions and it's a positive one. in the flesh something different. that i value. the main attraction tonight is a special dance performance glows in the dark and dixon's hands become almost invisible riveting stuff for the audience that is one. of the. places you look at your thing. it's it's like a movie by itself you kind of forget about the. and you just you just you just focus on this this book that i just couldn't believe how much i lost myself in the carrots of the piece with the birds you feel like it's moving in a way that a real bad school animal would move in with the dinosaur it's obviously you know no one seen a dinosaur but i feel like that's how a dinosaur is moved. to be dicks and he's already working on new characters bumps

and now manu is enjoying his time in the limelight. now someone else who spent a lot of time in the workshop is hannah's long into the wells slowest porch now the words slow and porsche don't usually go together i know i bought having the time to be slow these days is more of a luxury than growing fast for this luxury sports car speed is not the name of the game. i have porsche nine one one for many a dream on wheels the embodiment of power and speed but when the traffic light changes in men's austria even cyclists overtake this porsche. that's because this one hundred fifty kilos sports car is really a bicycle how does lung into the austrian who built it powers it using his legs.

for a simple i phone song and i'm a mom or of course it's pleasant when you can be very slow it's a special luxury. i think that's a bigger luxury than if you always have to be very fast. everyone wants to be fast and everyone is always. to be slow that's the real luxury. underneath it's golden surface the materials used to build the car are quite mundane. the artist created his mobile sculpture from plastic tubing and duct tape . that's how the porsche named fanny now and three r.s. came to be an artwork that questions the cult of cars while making a social and ecological statement.

europe's museums already how is hannah slung a car art for example the lentils art museum for contemporary and modern art in linz. has long ages fabien and has taken laps around the porsche factory and received an invitation to frankfurt international motor show and appeared on the british t.v. show top gear that happened after hundreds. made a video to promote his car artwork which is racked up more than three million hits on the internet. to explore not every year spoiler holds down the rear axle for traction when you exceed five kilometers an hour. the oversized air intakes in the front spoiler keep the driver and passenger from overheating and perspiring too much to see the seats are adjustable and come from the we come in by technology their form prevents wear and tear on the inside of the driver stock. and to keep

the price down to fatten and doesn't tire early without an engine. driven by muscle power sateen and has the right of way downtown in austrian cities and people everywhere agree on like normal cars his mobile work of art is also allowed him to destry in zones. using. thomas lung ada has created an entirely new form of mobility he even occasionally uses fatty none to self in daily life. your food you feel a lot better than a normal porsche because you don't produce as much toxic emissions. and i haven't calculated precisely how much c o two a human body emits but it's certainly less than an internal combustion engine.

a human being is an engine to an engine with a lifetime guarantee. the shelf where you said you hold. a car designer fairy porsche once said the last car ever to be built will be a sports car he could be right because the fat in the g.t. three r us will still be rolling along with other cars have long run out of gas. oh and down to our last tear a hole in our countdown unfolding in third place is a heartwarming tale from croatia it's all about an injured stork and a man who's taking care of him for the last twenty four years after the pension his wife passed on several years ago madalena the stork is his top priority and taking care of his feathered friend is his way of giving something back to the well.

ben and money of the stork are a famous couple in croatia. book which has been taking care of the injured stork for the past twenty four years molina has a broken wing and can no longer fly so the man and his bird often travel by car when the other stork set off for africa in the fall melinda stays behind without her fellow storks life can be dull and lonely so step on tries to give malina a normal life as far as is possible. there are your friends you have friends look. this is something i'm able to get back to our planet you can't always just kill and destroy we have to help nature to stalk so the only birds that like to live near people.

twenty four years ago step invoke it found she had been injured by gunfire he rescued her but she's never fully recovered so he takes care of her he even built a nest for her on the roof and around so she can reach it. every spring made sickly petain joins them the two birds have been together for thirteen years and have raced fifty four off. screen this year saw another four stork six hatch. can't fly or seek food so step on bocage takes on her tasks and provides food for her and her chicks. oh. it's assured we feed the little birds. already fragile. like a fish would be legal because every little. girl.

or a. i've grown so fond of her that i will continue to gather food for her and her babies as long as i'm physically able to have yes. even if it rains or hales stephon bocage drives fifty kilometers twice a day to the region's canals and ponds to catch lunch and dinner for money. it's a challenge because she'll only eat life fish of a certain size. three and. more of it so it was a walk in life you have to sacrifice yourself for someone i happened to find this bird and i brought it here and helped it go how could i abandon her now after twenty four years it's not going to happen no way. will you all start going to all of your old you know. well in order to go what

if he doesn't catch enough fish he feeds the storks with lean meat he spends most of his modest pension on the birds if he doesn't receive small donations from animal lovers he would have to go hungry himself. a mile of the. baton mean a lot to me my wife died eight years ago so these two are my family now so i mean everything to me. on this for mr. pearl you suddenly spend my last cent on the effort and will always make sure they are doing well. or a lot of your karma. when clipperton sets off for africa at the end of the summer molina and remain behind and hope to see him again next year. months of close cross species togetherness follow. step on not only feeds the stork he also frees as legs of encrusted dead spread other. was he would crack apart and get

inflamed. patiently allows him to work on her legs a sign of trust. the to end their day with a ritual watching films about storks on television. the crazy heroine is attacking the stork. look your stocks have flown off to africa this world is resolved. and so the two of them keep each other company and prove to the world not only dogs can be man's best friend. what i love the story the reporter had over twelve point six million views on facebook this year though

it was one that made people laugh for the first time ever passengers on a german train were treated to a multi stage there to production over thousand local them volunteers performs different short sketches along a thirty kilometer stretch of each train went by it was surprising and unusual entertainment for the past and this is love the story so much that it came in first place in our top twenty five reports of twenty seventeen. hunted up being chased by his lookout post. a family who suddenly gets water. and a truck bomb phrase in a field the famous cop on the phone with east germany trying to keep up with a modern v.w. all parts of a not project stage but people on passing trains local residents pulled out all the

stops to keep the passengers on the thirty kilometer train ride between non-book and nina entertain. those months when what's so good not to just stare at your phone all the time but to look outside the countryside here is amazing and of course the individual pieces of drama that are on show quite unique downs and chilling spits it puts you in a good mood. a few kilometers further on residents are still preparing their props disguised as bush if they take up their positions they stay just the peeled their performance will last just a few seconds. keeping their audience guessing is a key idea in the performances where the passengers sometimes wonder what's real and what staged this tree seems to be on fire then people from the stone age

suddenly appear on the scene of. a shock surprises a couple of fishing. the whole thing was the brainchild of un himself and young cook who cannot media artists and professors for experimental television. for. little ones. fifteen years ago you couldn't have imagined doing and each search online and scanning an average of fifteen thousand pictures a day as thumbnails that has an effect on you in a train journey is similar it's like a parallel to modern media you pass by all these things really fast you can't look at them properly so it's like looking over thumbnail pictures or by. a lot of assumptions of the model by. the trains passed through nine stations along the route here too there was plenty of action. in now on board

a quiet santa passengers. then rocco began his race against the train and there were actually twenty five runners all wearing identical outfits giving the impression that one man was out running out peddling the machine . for the moment it was a chance to have some fun and for at least one resident it was a way of getting to know her new neighbors. it just seemed like something fun to do as a group and then also i'm really interested in getting more involved in the local culture so for me as a foreigner it was really exciting. the train of course had no chance against the racing roll call. all together that just before the twenty fourth train loads of passengers over two days.

for the moving bush's that meant running across the field twice an hour. if your country we didn't know each other beforehand it's really interesting but you get to know nice people and have some fun. and i think it's all part of the project to do things together with other people and without. performances for passing trains on the projects that inspired local residents and certainly entertained the passengers the full well that we are a top twenty five countdown have come to an end ready for a new year's stories in twenty eight i welcome all of the team here at your rock i wish you all a very happy new year take care of the sounds and all the best and. next
