experienced. touching story. oh this is our home is god's country apart from each other better for you soon found is through can a story or a twenty seven don't you. ever on the account to your own mix great to have you on board i hope you have a head for heights because this is one of our topics today. up high professional slack line i look us in that is ever on the lookout for new challenges. at the top of stephanie our food established through oberlin as one of europe's major photo

gallery. and high fives we've been looking at five one the fun musicians who didn't quite succeed as to. why the fun is over for revel us in some places the people of basel in switzerland just started celebrating kind of all but if you want to join you have to get up early at four o'clock in the morning in complete darkness the participants make the way through the streets of the city lighting the way with lentulus wide dramas and pipe us play music this special celebration is recognized by unesco. carnivals starts in the wee hours of the morning with the mortgage strike all morning she now begins the revelers know their carnival the three most beautiful day even if it does come across as a bit more serious than the farm at first glance. at three am on monday

morning the fast knocks clique's as they're called meet in their respective silos mark salter is chairman of the docks little plea. in the thick of things that when the alarm goes off i think why am i doing this to myself but only for one or two minutes until i'm really awake and then the butterflies set in the nervousness and the anticipation. and you can see this excitement gradually building up as the people start trickling in here. this goosebump feeling. in the whole gym. at around four am they march off to the staging area for carnival all the clique swear musk's that hide their faces the first morning the costumes aren't all the same the motto is cherry very which means anything goes. if you think i'm some kind of a bell ring out the hunchback of notre dame but we've also got traditional figures . in the vagas but for the most as you can tell by the

group everyone can put on whatever they want most of it. all but they can come whenever they once they must be punctual defer. at the stroke or for the lights all through boswell's oldtown are turned off so the only light that song comes from the carnival clique's lanterns. drums and piccolos are the only instruments allowed for the mortgage strike parade each clique emblazoned a different subject on their land most often their political satire. you know we have a commission that comes up with a subject for the carnival. sometime in autumn they presented to the rest of the

clique and we start the preparations the big lanterns like ours here are painted by artists it takes them two or three months that's a few hundred hours of work to go into them. both carnival revelers and spectators go down to the clique cellars to warm up and rest a bit the traditional snacks of flour soup and onion cakes. after a break long. lasting a few hours the clique beats up again now they're in their themed costumes barks out a tells the full story that goes with it. there is a few here who are theme is goodness we have a crisis the idea is that our club is in financial crisis and we've called in external consultants to show us where we can cut costs. but cancer at the expense of the team we've got really cheap costumes this year recycled masks there are no wigs just caps really cheap feathers. and the consultant pigs are in the

vanguard. the ones pocketing all the money we've saved. the basel carnival is still celebrated exactly the way it has been for the last one hundred fifty years there are strict rules for the cortege the afternoon parades. spectators are requested not to wear costumes nor are they allowed to sing and sway alone. think that that's probably the main thing that sets it apart from other carnivals the separation between the actual participants and the spectators but we're doing it for their benefit. from the floats the vagas throw treats into the crowds. the court ten also features flute players and drummers as well as brass bands the good music

. they play mainly gold moldings and evergreens but in their own special way. basil carnival is now listed with unesco's intangible cultural heritage of humanity something the clique so deeply proud of. that in that it doesn't change anything for our specifically but it's really a recognition of this local tradition one that centuries old. after. exactly seventy two hours the carnival will be over but the traditions will be handed down for generations yet to carve so. why bother celebrating three days of kind of all people at the international film festival in berlin turn their attention to three days in kill bill vol one of all the movie and the news from all over europe coming up now in our express.

the film three days in cuba premiered at the international berlin film festival on monday shot in black and white it's a portrait of a charismatic german french film star on the schneider who died in one thousand nine hundred two aged just forty three she's played by german actress movie boy maya the film is directed by french iranian filmmaker emily are tests for a vision i wanted to show a broken woman but also a woman who wanted to live at the end of the movie even if her just an afternoon or a week i wanted to create a glimpse of hope and peace for of all me me and the german austrian french co-production it's the second german film to screen in the competition section of the ballon alla which ends on february twenty fifth. over in london on monday evening catherine duchess of cambridge and sophie countess of wessex were hosting the commonwealth fashion exchange reception at buckingham palace as part of london fashion week the exchange aims to create partnerships with

tween established and emerging talent from the fifty three member countries in a way that promotes a new understanding of the commonwealth the star studded event was attended by anna wintour editor of american vogue and supermodel naomi campbell. monday the carnival season came to an end in government see the grease with a traditional fine. a fight that serves as a reminder of the greek war of independence. i come here from galaxy we have an ancient cultural tradition from really old times and although we are working elsewhere we return here every year to have as much for two hundred years revelers have problems with each other with tons of dying from the end of carnival season and the beginning of greek orthodox led. germany is no because it is one of the world's best slacklining as you might call

him an ak about on the abyss in other words he better insists on just two and a half sending me to white strip and has already said a few world records over the years new class has specialized in highlighting that's slacklining at an unbelievable height he has crossed the most spectacular scenery in the wood last summer here on the took his first project in the dynamites insult to roll where you notice the tie lining there is a greater challenge than he had thought of us recently released the stunning shots he made there. the dolemite sim self to roll a high line runs between two cliff faces balancing on it is extreme athlete look. he's about three thousand meters above sea level the challenge she set himself may be terrifying but he says it feels like flying and the fun is in facing the fear

and doing it anyway. you feel like you're suspended in mid-air you look for a spot that works you set up the slack line yourself then you balance along it and have this incredible experience in finance. and then you take it away again and leave everything the way it was just you take away a new experience and the memory. of it. reaching the spot is often a challenge in itself because for athletic skills from mountaineering and ice climbing to jungle tracking. scaling the dolemite is also demanding that has two other professional slack liners with him they're heading for the slam on one of the most recognizable peaks in south to roll. on this course for some serious mountaineering it's a sheer drop in the rock face is quite loose. there's nowhere where you can secure yourself. have been pretty nervous.

once they get to the top look as the others are in for quite a disappointment they can't find any way to anchor their slack line drilling into the rock face is out of the question as the slam is a nature conservation zone there are just climb was in vain. means we have to come up with a whole new project on back to square one i don't know if i'll find a new spot here in the dolemite. disappointments are part of the slack learning experience lucas has used to dealing with it he first tried slacklining in two thousand and six and was hooked immediately initially he studied chemistry and economics but eventually became a professional slack line or he organizes events and gives talks and travels across the world.

i didn't start out thinking this sport was going to take your around the world but now i've already been to china and the us south america africa oh. look us has said a number of world records a while ago he walked across the highest high line ever over the misty volcano in peru five thousand seven hundred twenty one meters above sea level. but lucas insists that world records aren't his first priority he's more interested in finding in mastering the personal challenges testing his limits and spectacular surroundings his personal highlight was in two thousand and fourteen when he walked the high line across the victoria falls in zimbabwe. back in the dull mites the slack liners have more luck the second time and find a suitable spot in the long core group. they stay the night in a man. lives and make an early start the next morning this time anchoring the slack

line is straightforward. your first time on an alpine highline is always interesting you're nervous and tense. on the. remote. and it's here in the alps the two set up the most or some slack lines with incredible views you're so exposed and it's so harsh it's also incredibly demanding psychologically to do lines like this that's what appeals to me. the i'm not successfully walks the slack line here in the dolemite and he's already planning his next trip to and arctica he wants to become the first person to slack line in

all seven continents. oh my goodness i would never try that after this adrenaline rush it's time to relax with a cup of tea and when you think of tea time if think of a man right after all that's a tradition there a tradition that has spread it's we find a place in italy the country of coffee drinkers that is where a british. rice at the foot of the spanish steps in rome is a little slice of england bobbing turns to the room so it's always tea time here complete with scones sandwiches muffins and cupcakes the whole works with all the trimmings. teatime teatime is all about the atmosphere the aromas and flavors and about the feeling of togetherness what's in it is that in san. quiana bidini is

a descendant of one of the key reasons founders isabel cargill who with anna maria babington in the late nineteenth century set out to create an oasis of britishness in italy for their countryman a place where they could relax and have a good company at the time in italy could only be obtained at a pharmacy babington's opened in eight hundred ninety three its victorian furnishings an atmosphere soon attracted high society journeying the time of fascist rule many english enterprise has left rome but almost miraculously the teen room survived it did out here just for the fascist leaders would often meet right here in this room at these tables while at the same time the participants would come and go through the kitchen there are these two realities being played out simultaneously in our tea room. and put on and. starting in the nine hundred fifty s. intellectuals and celebrities began frequenting the t.v.

room audrey have dustin hoffman monica bellucci and singer. they enjoyed its discretion coziness and of course the tea. to push them out it was this is storable atmosphere the tradition and that's what i like. but this establishment embraces you it welcomes you and provides warmth this is the first time i've been back here in years and it still has the same atmosphere and quality of service but being a little corner of. over. and a little corner of the german capital is a real paradise of photography see obote in it is and has been known worldwide as the exhibition venue for photo art since its founding in one thousand nine hundred nine see oberlin has already moved twice within the city but one thing has never changed it's those images by the most famous international artists german

photographer. for example bangs to this man stefan aflat he's one of the three found this of the renowned gallery and remains the heart of it he's not only the man behind sea oberlin but also an excellent photographer in his own right. those old dos high society at play in the 1980's. revealing ironic not necessarily flattering photographer stephan effort is a keen and patient observer of human nature the cylon of an industrial dynasty invoked a towel he was initially expected to take over the family business but he wasn't interested and went looking for his vocation. when i was younger i didn't know what i wanted to be i just knew what i didn't want to be i wanted to get out of that claustrophobic valley i couldn't imagine running

a paper factory studying laura working at deutsche bank or being a teacher i wasn't interested in anything that my parents suggested the hardest part was figuring out what i wanted to do. after a brief sojourn in paris and studies in germany he made his way to new york a series of photographs called new york restaurants was his launch pad to a job as a magazine photographer. he made friends with american colleagues like john meyer of a legendary photographer famous for his street scenes. shot an effort to capture life in the big apple in the one nine hundred eighty s. i was especially attracted to its ad misfit before and after nightfall. for me in new york was an education in many ways it toughened me up you had to be tough to get by in nineteen eighty-four new york was a very different place from what it is now you had to be street wise i was usually taking my pictures at night and i became very aware when it was

a good idea to cross the street. with a frankfurter allgemeine or took him around the world. his signature style is both gritty and sensitive. he doesn't meet people. to tell his stories but after fifteen years as a photographer the solitariness of the job was getting to him and he didn't like the way the world of newspaper and magazine publishing was changing. i could see that the era of editorial photography was coming to an end and one magazine after another was giving up i knew it was time to reinvent myself and i felt i owed it to the younger generation of photographers. there are so many photography schools people have an urge to visually document lives you mentioned. in the year two thousand he founded c oberlin together with two friends in the

early days it was more like a photography lab about it eventually expanded into an acclaimed gallery showcasing work by the likes of karl lagerfeld tina rimes and annie leibovitz to the delight of the band in public and largely thanks to stephanie efforts on extensive contacts . the publication of a collection of his own work marks his sixtieth birthday it captures his passion curiosity and professionalism just do it and never give up his his philosophy it's helped him established as one of germany's major photography galleries. at the moment the international film festival is taking place and a lot of actors have come to take part in the event quite a few of them are in line for awards but the big screen is not necessarily the right fit for everyone then musicians we're about to meet try to end it cited on another take

a look at our high five series here are. excellent european musicians who are no good at acting. singing is a man of many talents the british musician singer and songwriter enjoyed great success as the front man for the police later as a solo artist his albums went platinum and he was showered with grammys but as far as acting is concerned he has made some poor choices. at number five in our ranking of musicians who dabbled in acting it's a powerful performance if you like to watch crazy muscle man dune was a flop both critically and commercially. the only thing that shone was sting's well oiled body. salish was one of france's top musicians in the one nine hundred sixty s.

and seventy's. he wrote hits for stars like because you don't. come for his partner jane burke and. unfortunately the couples film cannabis was just as in your face as the intimate noises in the song ten one of our number four games move and broken unwittingly turn an action film into a comedy. luciano pavarotti who died in two thousand and seven was one of the greatest tanner's of all time she graced all of the world's top opera stages. so the role of the latin lover who conquers women's hearts with his balloon is a boys seem to tailor made for him over the right thing but he looks more like

a comedian on the silver screen. i know. and that is our number three pavarotti was even nominated for a golden raspberry for his role. and now for another latin lover and leak a ecclesiastes the spanish singer has sold more than one hundred twenty million records worldwide. in his first film the action flick once upon a time in mexico the actors are cool he comes second in a ranking of musicians who are sadly no good at acting one critic wrote that mercifully here. me saying once in the film and then remained largely out of the picture.

dana is one of the few german artists to ever reach number two on the u.s. pop charts. today in her late fifty's she still looks young and hip. and much cooler than her very first film role for. so at number one it's naina. to be. honest. in hanging out the giggling teenagers acting is as atrocious as the rest of the film. stunt you. should shine. in real life nina did leave school early but fortunately not to take us back to. remaining true to the motto of a cobbler stick to your old us the like of you there are a lot of also back to us who are making great films that brings us directly to our
