a household name in her native slovenia though she hasn't returned to the country in fifteen years everyone has an opinion about the u.s. first lady. the best. beauty. in the world and politics. i don't see her performing as many administrative tasks as for example michelle obama obama was. mainly because. she is pretty as is expected of a first lady but about my. trump is already a style icon for some and her ubiquitous sky high heels have even ignited heated topic debate. where peace felt slip out of the white house it was designed by slovenia's. for a shoe factory trump's hometown. zero per the. back when donald trump was campaigning i wanted to design

a high heeled pump but the capitana shoe factory didn't have knology to produce that type of shoe. so i opted for the. a comfortable flip made from natural materials for but. the company sent a complementary along issue signs to the white house. we didn't expect that she would. answer us back or anything just we wanted. to send the brasen because we are proud of her that he is from our city we actually grow up to gather. points of also profited from move to the white house the magazine susie was founded in the spring of twenty sixteen when the us election campaign was really taking off. there was a war the bought the real story is one of us live in the end cinderella who made it into the white house and is living the american dream. the part of the part of the

world but there you go from being a nobody to suddenly being the most famous woman in the world. that is had a positive effect but all of the flow because some people have low self-esteem. it's great for. stories about the money our circulation boosters even if no one has a direct line to the first lady saucers or old school friends and their memories of millennia as well as social media and people from the last fashion see book one piece of fact salami first lady and many other regional products it's part of the first lady based in mrs trump's hometown. the products have yet to sell my hot cakes. or your book. whether what makes me so special is the regional recipe and all good climate.

there will not only improve your looks. but also boost your performance at work. is a bill. one of the senator's tourist attractions in is the town's hilltop castle officials say since milan his rise to international fame visitor numbers have risen by thirty percent the castle cafe serves our red wine with the first lady label a bottle can be purchased in a gift shop for no less than twenty seven euros and ninety cents is it worth it. to carry and find flavor that is yes. it's really very good. in the council there's a painting by a local artist on display that offers a hopeful vision of bilateral times. slovenians are still waiting for millennia trying to return to her home that are

some of the slovenian president invited to trumps to the country for a visit according to media sources they accepted the invitation no official it's been set. and we will of course keep an eye on that story when the time comes on now it's time for a little bit of light to fend off those nasty winter blues and one way to brighten things up is quite literally to light up the world so things like cities buildings and monuments in new and exciting ways and some of the final episode of our series we're in london where for four nights in a row the new nyet festival puts a shine on the british capital. london is radiant for four days the british capital is being bathed in colorful lights international artists are using the squares streets and buildings as the canvas for fifty eight light installations at gloomy and on them the showing how to turn light

into art. how to use the buildings next year or two years the lights and combination of the buildings is amazing i think that's what i love about latin that everywhere is just a bite from the norm you know it doesn't happen inside but it closed about that so many people out to come and say this. is my special. downtown london have been flocked to traffic to provide an expected two million visitors with unfettered access to the monumental productions like here at piccadilly circus. and the royal college of art. the square at kings cross railway station looks like it's under water. and the statues of westminster abbey with retraced contours are colored and projected on to the church. helen marriage is the artistic director of live

near london she's been organizing art in public spaces since two thousand and five . i think technology has changed i think people's appetite has changed i think in a world where now everything we see is mediated through a screen you know a telephone or a tablet or a computer is something rather wonderful about inviting people to come out for real in the cold and dark and stand together and see things that are really tangible. but size isn't everything many small installation to service much attention like the umbrella project associations. his local residents are performing their own choreographies in various places across town two french artists have turned one of london's famous red telephone booths into an aquarium. joe cocker's brick house for mean those flying through the streets of chinatown as

a symbol of centuries of chinese immigration. and mike that has consonants but they they don't recognize birthdays they don't and they go where they need to go at the time that anything goes and just obviously the area parallels with him and migration. visitors should not only look on and they're encouraged to take part here they produce lights and play music by sea so in together. it's a similar story in the. this installation consists of one hundred million cubes that produce different sounds which in turn sets off the plane flights i like i make a sign you come along and they're very sad and then when you come along it looks like. any stand in the middle of their entire well this just ingolf five

vibrations. when you're actually flying on it you can feel that actual sounds in your ears it kind of hurts because it's quite loud but it's there mazes go very fine it is amazing michael davis designed the machine he wants to help spectators get over their inhibitions about making music and encourage them to just try playing. one really important thing that it brings on people it is is it is a quality between people because. when you come together here there's no language being spoken all kinds of people will come together or you know young people old people people with no common ground whatsoever and yet music gives people that common ground and i think that's why it's so valuable. just a bit of light on the. dark winter evenings that the british capital in the night

and come. all this week we wanted to know what brings light into your lives and we give out a big facts first of all to all of those who took the time to send us pictures like these ones here that you can see beside me great shots of all the good things in life from natural scenes to people's families and of course their beloved pets and the winning picture this time around was sent to us. from bogota in colombia and the light of her life is this little ballerina here under the tree and that is her daughter so martha is also the winner of our euro max wrist watch so congratulations to her and thanks to all of you for playing along. all right now to our series fifty kitchens one city which proves that berlin's ever growing
