a man woman and child well the friend their homeland is the enemy invades. no one wants russia here to go mr new which is the. rebel against the mighty google that matters. d. w. made for mines. greetings from berlin and welcome once again to our latest edition lining up for you this time with the following top. showstopper why british actress sally hawkins is in the running for an oscar. designer's paradise a french show where every room has its own artistic scene. and to the

desert born to hamburg artist and his love of sand. now this week we're talking a lot about film stars and big screen legends but sports is of course also entertainment and heroic performances at the olympics a world championships or otherwise are celebrated every year at the low v.o.c. world sports awards in monaco on the jury is made up of past sporting giants like for instance boris becker and much. and this year it was another tennis player who was the big winner of the night. the laureus academy has chosen roger federer i thank everybody of the wonderful swiss tennis star roger federer has been named sportsman of the year and after he returned from a long break with an injury and then shot right back to the top of the a.t.p. rankings he was honored for a comeback of the year as well. thanks for this easy because it's one totally

thrilled it's an incredible moment in my career here on the world's biggest stage in front of the academy with the world sports awards me the war it's really a dream. the awards are presented by members of the laureus world sports academy all of them sporting legend. boris becker for one who in one thousand nine hundred five became the youngest tennis player ever to win wimbledon. and catherine of it who took home two olympic gold medals as a figure skater in the one nine hundred eighty s. for east germany and took her place in the ice skating pantheon. well i don't see it back then there were only a few t.v. channels so people had no other choice but to watch it when the olympics were on television you had to watch them even if you didn't really want to have a place and people were simply fascinated me and the habitats i think it gave us

a great opportunity to burn that memory into people's hearts and minds just because they didn't have that many distractions. by these kinds of heretofore have. you. know in the age of the internet and social media many of the younger athletes succeed in joining the laureus academies illustrious ranks such as german austrian extreme surfers a best in show i know the globe trotting surfer flies off to whatever corner of the world has the highest waves at any given time. it's. the unique aspect of sports is that they bring everybody together their skin color origins also. put someone on the same level and unites them. glorious members go out jogging together along monaco's waterfront.

and they take a look at a sports project for socially disadvantaged kids denise and surrounding. becker encounters the unexpected snowball. this is. this is part of a job i think it's our responsibility to give something back we've not forgotten where we come from from sport and sport has given us all a chance to do something with our lives. for the members of the laureus academy are still overwhelmingly men. something that not the celebrated rumanian gymnast wants to change she's hoping to win over prince albert of monaco and his wife charlene to the cause. i think we're getting. over the wall. time for women. to.

respect. the women in their creative imaginative outfits definitely outshine the men. i think it's fine i think i'm more comfortable on the ballot. even though this is why there. isn't. one so much we're used to being on the red carpet in. bearing in the nice dress. but it is work though it looks likely just snapped her fingers there's always a great designer in the background of the well i think we would rather be on a playing field but you know we're all in the same boat so it's ok i like a very comfortable sneakers on so i'm good. but it's a man who steals the show tonight.

come in a bit outside but i remember coming to the laureus the first time i met famous people at nationals i thought wow they're my idols and then suddenly i to the became one of these people these episodes. roger federer has won a laureus trophy six times already another record broken. and for a look at what else was making culture headlines across europe here's. the other news. our special week has moved on to the twenty eight team full and winter principal take elections starting with deal. with the hashtag need to issue has also reached the world of fashion this year. we had to work

for equal rights but at the same time you had to specific also that we are all different. is there quite difficult with food to work in the fast but i think is being part time. there is fashion week runs until march sixth. a one of a kind winter sports event is taking place on a lake in northern poland the world ice sailing championships contestants race across the ice in sailboats fitted with runners ice. sailing is considered to be much harder than regular sailing. there's a total of one hundred sixty eight contestants from sixteen countries and they can reach speeds of up to one hundred twenty kilometers per hour. princes harry and william made their first public appearance with their partners in

london on wednesday begun in prince william attended the annual royal foundation for him with his wife catherine. and prince harry was accompanied by his fiance makan michael's inter-country married in may. the day before catherine paid a visit to the royal college of obstetricians and gynecologists in london she also met the midwife through assisted with the birth of her daughter princess charlotte three years ago. catherine's expecting her third child there's a problem. the countdown is on to the biggest night on the film industry calendar the ninetieth academy award ceremony taking place this coming sunday in los angeles and one of the most hotly discussed categories is of course best actress in a leading role in this year it's home to some real heavyweights if i may use the

term because american screen stars meryl streep and frances mcdormand are in this category so by comparison it's a much lesser known actress who's garnering a lot of buzz in this year's season. british actress sally hawkins has been in the movie business since two thousand and two her screen performances have been met with critical acclaim this year she's been nominated as best actress for her role in the drama the shape of water. hawkins plays allies or esposito a mute janitor in a secret government lab she only communicate in sign language and eventually falls in love with a top secret mysterious creature who lives in a water tank we need this film in the world today and the way to embrace is love and is no cynicism about it like so passionately

and the other ness embracing the other ness of us hawkins's chalked up numerous awards but this is her first oscar nomination in the category of best actress. and what's amazing about sally hawkins performance is because she plays a mute i mean she has no dialogue everything is through her eyes through her gestures and you never in doubt as to what she's thinking or feeling are not a moment i mean this is an idea or role for unique talents. hawkins' breakthrough role came in two thousand and eight in mike leigh's film happy go lucky she won several awards for her performance including a golden globe for best actress. in two thousand and thirteen chair seat an oscar nomination as best supporting actress in woody allen's blue jasmine. the way i know you're. in the shape of water american actor doug

jones plays the creature and objectively lies is a faction expressed only through emotion. like a child she is such an innocence so beautiful so pure and she's all instinct she doesn't know. that she's a creek there's something in her that is similar just recognizes that there's a real connection. and doesn't quite understand what that is but doesn't matter. oscar winning actress frances mcdormand is possibly her closest competitor for the oscar she took home the bafta in the same category for her role in three billboards in missouri. with norman plays a grieving mother who devises a provocative methods to motivate the police to further investigate the rape and murder of her daughter. a writer for another actress vying for the oscar is so

sharon and for her role in. going to college and then jail and this is in some ways a much more understated performance i mean in this category of so many real tough powerful women or sally hawkins is very withdrawn by the very challenging role because she doesn't speak. in some ways is a very ordinary story and in some ways i think it's a more press of performance because being ordinary onscreen i think is somehow more difficult than being extraordinary. australian actress margot roby is also nominated for her role in i told the movie recounts the story of us skating champion tonya harding and the scandal that surrounded her during the one nine hundred ninety four winter olympics. last but not least three time oscar winner meryl streep is also be nominated for her performance in steven spielberg's movie the post more competition in the category is tough so will sally hawkins be able to pull it off. i think the only one who can beat frances mcdormand in

the best actress category is sally hawkins if she doesn't win for this one i don't know what else the woman can do you know this is this is a really bad barnstorming performance and i hope it gets on with an oscar. and we will find out whether or not she does get an oscar at the ninetieth academy awards in los angeles. you know my. well speaking of awards it's of course a very special feeling to win one and this week we wanted to know if you've ever had the pleasure of winning a trophy or a prize of some sorts many people have already responded telling us about things like for instance their pilgrimage certificate upon successful completion of the way of st james in northern spain or here is a medal for a science competition. this young man set

a new record at the exit. very proud. and this year here on the right won an award of excellence in engineering. and this completely entirely edible wedding cake wedding dress and a cake competition won its maker a brand new mixer so you see lots of great performances and there is still time to send us the picture of your favorite prize or awards which is go to our website for details and don't forget that our your max watch is up for grabs as a thanks for your feedback. on word now and when it comes to decorating a hole most people decide on one style but wouldn't hear of that words like simple and minimalistic don't really feature in his vocabulary and that's why he and his wife gave every room in their home its own theme so they do have one thing in common though and that's the wallpaper because the show loved so much that they now

wife won't make wallpaper that is far from traditional. as opposed to wallpaper that is printed industrially with repetitive motifs we've revisited the mural panorama that was somewhat famous in the nineteenth century. it depicted grand scenes that were traditionally engraved by hand or today a digital tool gives us more freedom measures than one was there for the idea is to tell a story. more than your. touch of on only way to test new ideas in his home where he had lived for twenty years now the house is a hundred and fifty square meters and each room has a different theme. this one was inspired by francis presence in india. this is the pondicherry room named after the indian trading post it features such

as the. bengal tiger and peacocks and. this favorite place is actually the garden with real life nature and views of the city he likes being here at any time of the year. it's wonderful to live in a townhouse and feel like i'm almost in the countryside we're incredibly lucky. anything goes in patrick's house as long as it isn't boring and to those who might say the interior design is a bit overwhelming he says that this is exactly its charm. of your house has to be a lie i think that house expresses the character and personality of those who live in it but i think our house reflects our taste for life we like to entertain friends we're welcoming her parents here it is on makes people feel like you're

a longing for the vastness of the colors of the desert is a recurring theme in his art because for him the desert is not only inspiration but also a media. cost invest studied to be an archaeologist he learned how to use brushes and shovels to uncover antiques and artworks on excavation sites. and after graduating he decided to create artworks of his own but in the same places where he had participated in archeological digs. in general this is a city it's what fascinates me about it as it is there vos that's all on this side of the sense of freedom they convey a sense and those are the three qualities that defined as it's for mean that and why i made them my studio evil. over the past twenty years he has spent time in deserts all around the world using sand as his material he's not always alone in

the desert camels snakes are scorpions for instance stop by as well as nomads and other desert dwellers they're sometimes quite surprised to stumble upon him in the middle of the mill where. he lives and stored in the column that says once i was painting during a sand storm when two riders approached me and their faces were covered and they were all in black nowadays that the first thing you think of is i i didn't know what to expect they stopped right in front of my pictures and i went up to them off at that my hand and greeted the state of the because they didn't speak my language and i didn't speak. but we still managed to understand each other somehow one of em they do if they even let me ride their horses. back home in hamburg he puts the finishing touches on his artworks. his last trip was to the west of north america his souvenirs he brought home are currently on exhibition in hamburg after that

he'll be showing them at a gallery in paris and also in the us the desert painter now earns a decent living from his past. show me a fork in the move and it's my goal in life to paint all the deserts in the world and once i'm pretty sure that i want to paint pictures in the oceans of jungles. i've already tried. always find new motifs but the desert is what makes my heart sing this one is that it's going. to these pictures are made to look as if mother nature painted them herself carsten best just lends a helping hand. to finish we're headed to a place where upon first glance there's not much more than snow and trees a place called fish in bavaria for a tale of old back in the fifteenth century a heritage building there housed the sick and the infirm and today it literally blooms with health and creative energy and here's why. we enter the

heart of the dark there in forests. deep into the night. there's a night club here which attracts people from as far away as two hundred kilometers from cities such as munich. the clubs in the small town of which doesn't have much except trees. and this is a song as well as the bride and it's true that the parent forest is really really beautiful but it's a bit dull at night and he won't be any more. this insurgency there are. over silk runs the club in this former hospital that's now a listed building people dance until three in the morning in the chapel which dates back to fifteen ninety seven the dance nights often begin with a concert. or art.

for example gospel and blues by switzerland's andrea. there are about five free concerts a week and they're always packed. wrong. rome. was probably draw will. people can make donations after the concert some of the locals have come to every concert so far. is what i point out there's a really lovely atmosphere here about some of the first i thought it was a bit small but then i realized that the atmosphere is so good because it's so smushed among the notably with a view to meet so many different people on one old ones like me young ones like the ladies here i think it's great to see this coming together in our small town knew that i missed out these. lies between munich vienna and prague all important cities in the music world. many of the musicians stay overnight at all of us home. thank you is it ok to use.

this place is amazing i mean how cold is it six hundred years. i've never paid in a venue like this so it's really really great says. the main hospital building dates back to fourteen thirty two it's the oldest building in fifth time. it's good empty and dilapidated for many years. and then the local authorities handed over this face to all of its ilk rent free temporarily he was just told to make something of it. as he gets right so this is the fall and in terms of interior design it's like the old ought to die or the funds to. this madonna and child painting was bought second hand. there are rotating exhibitions on the walls all over found this one nine hundred sixty s.

english house bar on e bay. down almost the second is on my also love that no clocks. it's big i'm really glad that this clock lets me have more than twenty four hours a day. it's not at all hard to understand that sentiment. this new club in an old hospital is really for everyone and though it's right in the middle of town and things sometimes get quite loud there been no complaints so far . and that's all for this time on your remarks but don't forget that you can visit us anytime on facebook or of course on instagram and i thought all the best from us here in berlin and hope to see you next time just. next time on your imax freesias also her award ceremony is right around the corner who will win the race for best actor three europeans are in the running including
