i also admire people who want to stay here and who decided to create something good coming in peace time what needs to happen if tolerance and reconciliation are to stand a chance now to darkness city's after war starting march tenth on t w . i ruddy welcome to another week of your own acts here's a quick look at what's coming up today. khan of the trio the prince and the peasant and the maid and other highlights of rose monday's parades. from the full well it's such design a muscle fundus grayson's on extravagant magical and wacky. and majestic

mountain a massive hole in switzerland was long considered an unstable challenge. and cologne it's conical time and even for germans their local tradition is a bit of a mystery there are all sorts of quirky customs that are observed including the formation of the khan of those leading triumvirate the so-called does i go every year three people pay she huge sums of money to be crowned as one of the three leaders the prince the peasant i'm the maiden the big moment in the spotlight is the parade on rose monday. these performers are treated like celebrities here in cologne the peasant kristoff the maiden emma and the prince michael they're known as the dragon and they're floats come at the end of the shrove monday for session. for the performers it caps off five weeks of

engagements it's been an emotional fun filled ride but also an exhausting one day begins early for the trio there's not a free moment once the season starts since january they've called a hotel room in their home there's a lot of preparation especially for emma who's makeup takes an hour every morning. police really sleep i'm definitely not going to miss this initial i'll probably hesitate to touch my face but i'll be happy when my skin feels normal again you know in the holding below market. with the big. breakfast will have to wait. first the dragon attend mass where traditionally they ask the lord to bless the shrove monday parade with fine weather. cameras aren't allowed in the church one of the few times the trio isn't being filmed. after that and a quick photo there's finally breakfast the jolly trio is accompanied by

a large entourage everywhere they go it's definitely not a job for everyone. but for these cologne natives it's a dream come true. that's really a big food boy for five weeks we're not the backstreet boys and take that combined with quite expect that all of the girls and when you come out of the room everyone is just taking photos one after the other you see your food on fourth or olive oil or that everyone gets excited to see you you can provide so much enjoyment it's really a gift it was a hit with me because if you're from cologne i'm into carnival you'd be crazy not to do this. i. thought you might need to be a bit crazy to do this as a full time job. the pace with which the dragon go about their day is truly breathtaking and a little overwhelming. on any given day there could be

for on stage events to attend as well as a program for the hospital for seniors and another for the blind all in thirty minute blocks of time. to get this appearance in front of an all female audience maiden emma feels right at home. i. thought i might have made it so it's right for my girls quote unquote my girls it's a lot of fun to go to the girls events because they just love to join in and celebrate and say on the potty all missing or ha ha ha ha. another appearance takes place at a hospital they're running late so it's straight on to the stage the appearance is broadcast live to all three hundred twenty hospital rooms the auditorium is filled with patients and employees it's a welcome relief from the worries of day to day life in a hospital i even in a hospital they just start sharing i have to have this one it was light on my door

. the whirlwind tour of cologne continues in the midnight by the time the trio makes it back to the hotel. but it's an option after that you're awake for two three four hours talking about the day because everyone remembers it differently but a bit and then eventually you're not off. i now that's roughly how the dragon have done it for one hundred thirty five years. the prince his royal highness on sense was introduced in eighteen twenty three as a character who could reign in the unbridled revelry of the carnival. the present was meant to represent the city's liberation. while the maidens chastity stood for cologne's impregnability the role has always been played by a man since the carnival associations were run exclusively by men. as lead in this and beat that but it's where we try to stick to tradition but of course we

have in a modern society and need to consider that as a chance to move this work permit so you have to walk the line between the. us i think right now we have the right balance as far as the street carnival is concerned because people talk about it even more for the bush question but. this year that tradition has been up filled by michele gerold christof stock and arish terrible who will go down in history as the drug for the twenty eighteen carnival the lobby overcome ash wednesday and in march the search for next year's dragon will begin. well let's have a look at what else is happening around europe today in our expressed we've got updates from windsor and berlin but first let's get another dose of carnival atmosphere from around the continent.

it's carnival season with revelers across europe celebrating the banishment of winter in riyadh at croatia over ten thousand people took to the streets for the annual carnival parade. being taught to rush portugal participants poke fun at international politicians. the town of obviously nation spain hosted a foam fest and the extravagantly costume dancers in the carnival parade in santa cruz made tenerife look like rio. kensington palace has revealed new details about the forthcoming not chills of prince harry and his fiance and i can markel they'll be tying the knot on may eighth one thousand nine hundred george's chapel windsor castle. following the ceremony the couple will lead a carriage procession through windsor giving the public

there's a mountain pioneer you have to climb. in. order. to matter one remain unclimbed after most of the other great alpine peaks had been attained. that history is documented here at the mater museum insomuch visitors can learn everything about the first descent and life in the village during that time director at the schmidt is an expert on the story involving the matter horn's first pioneer edward whimper first climb ended in disaster when four members of his team including the french pioneer michel cool fell to their deaths they. wanted to be the fast. he released himself from the rope to be the finest of the top. there's a lot of secure it must have been a triumph in all his mountaineering korea. on the way down the seven

heroes would become tragic heroes. but the accident which took place in fractions of a second all these heroes. into dead men who. was incredibly bitter. there's no denying the tragedies a lingering effect on sam ash many people come here to learn more about it. tucson if you put two and two together you'd probably have to assume that limbo cut the rope that was around michelle crowe but he never admitted it. and how does. that climb and disaster were later portrayed in several films including the mountain calls which can also be seen in the museum.
