thank you do because in. your piece. the transfer of the human mind into an avatar is successful immortality is really. what drives remember you can't remove it's we need a planet and we make sure we didn't want to. bring the factory starting march twenty fourth on g.w. . welcome to a new week of euro max today my colleague michael guga is turning into a racing report and competes against one of the world's most successful women in motor sports let's see what we have lined up for you. your maps to

pop the market korea takes on a famous race car driver. goes to presenting munich first opened up a quiet. and step process that explored the scottish capital of edinburgh. we kick off today's show on the island of majorca this year the loric electric cup was held there for the first time in the event electric cars built in the style of the twenty's compete with each other my colleague mike if you go in there and her toughest competitor was definitely tried smits well no wonder she is one of the most successful sima racing drivers in the words she is the first and so far also the only woman to have won the dot dot com really so this was no easy task for mike . euro max reporter michael kroger is on her way to the starting line and the loric

electric company a very special car race she's about to test their limits in a twenty or so our electric car with vintage vehicle appeal the race will take her through the mountains of new york on. this i think i just flipped a little switch in my head and decided just before the race not to be afraid not to set my fear aside and just put the pedal to the metal to. mark his copilot charlie bosch constructed a lark and gives her a few tips. good theory says one hundred twenty kilometers an hour but we won't go that fast will we could we could if we're daring enough what you can do we can go one hundred twenty clicks and i'll. back can i tell if the cause already started it already is a good business so i can just drive off. today charlie bosch is built six

chlorox. all the every car is one of a kind. the bodies are close reproductions of the original loric models built on my organ in the one nine hundred twenty s. by the car maker of the same name. bush's six quarts are now going to take part in a race with some well known drivers micah's toughest competitor is your tech crunch met one of the world's top friendly drivers back in two thousand and one she took first place in the paris dakar rally the only woman to have ever won it was a fall we haven't any women taking punts so here's the question should we really compete against one another what do you think yes. yes yes but it's. also have to pull your socks off i tell you ok ok and what if i'm just a natural all male see about that is in part you don't get something for nothing now let's put the pedal to the metal god. my eye oh oh.

it's the start of the first stage a time trial on the stretch of road in the mountains although michael as a minute said start on your to the really driver is close to catching up near the finish line. with a couple of catch on to them i've got to step on the gas that bit it cost them again before the finish line so they know who's boss. yours is the clear winner in this first stage of the loric electric cup but the women's racing fever quickly clear the cars batteries. and will take an hour to recharge them. racing electric cars also has its relaxing moments so the drivers use this force great to look around by their most as old town and get to know each other a little better over a cup of coffee. but once they're back on the road they're rivals again in the second stage the aim is to achieve an average speed of exactly fifty kilometers per hour so there's not quite such an adrenaline

rush and suddenly michael kroger discovers the joys of driving and all the electrical. it's really very very different how does that i don't have that knowing also you notice a lot about your natural surroundings and the smells you smell the herbes you hear the birds chirping. the second stage ends up being a time between the two women. now it's time for the final stage this time that when it will be the first person to reach the finish two hundred kilometers away on a single charge so the competitors will have to drive in an energy saving passion. because i mean this is a really nice way to drive anything else is just stressful i'm not an adrenaline junkie so now it's mainly about average driving and i'm an average driver so i think i stand a good chance against it because she's bound to have a heavy foot this evolves. and just before the finish your turkey line troops

competitive spirit gets the better of any athlete when i may have to be honest i'm sick of all this slow or should i say sensible driving sockets my primary figure far right if i'm going to florette here. what's coming up i think i've ever done it. a.j. i knew it i knew it it's how stable. and at the end of the two day event each of the women has racked up one victory and one try to. take. that. marker could go and do your go climb schmidt celebrate their joint victories . i use yours is really way better than me but each great i've done so well it's super fun thought it was a great wild experiences and it was super that we got the chance to really put these poor house through their paces. and on the way back to the hotel marker

kluger just enjoys the more your countryside after victory. has been times now really proud of the loric and to me it's clear that we make a great team it's obvious sure to come again but maybe not drive quite so fast next time. and we continue with the small rabbit that has made it onto the big screen let's find out more in today's express. the film version of the classic british children's book the tale of peter rabbit how did european from the air in london on sunday. british actress daisy really provided the voice of cotton to. the title room was spoken

by fellow brit james corden who has from childhood memories of the book. i know it was the first time i'd ever been read a story where a card so was north say. tells of the adventures of the mistress peter rabbit beatrix potter is a book published in one thousand and two has sold millions of copies the world over the. spring has been welcomed in on the southern italian island of sicily for the traditional blossom festival was celebrated with folklore groups from around the world. all but blossoms are native to southern italy thanks to the mild temperatures they can be seen in full bloom from january to march. meanwhile in northern italy best still snow on the ground and this is where i've raced on snow

ice beach snow hill climbing contest took place. last weekend some two hundred fifty participants try to conquer a steep steep slope on them motorcycles as they trying to reach the top as fast as possible. because. some people write mortal cycles as a hobby others like to make music but hobbies need time anyone with things in a quiet for example has to rehearse regularly except in the german city of new nick if you like singing but simply don't have the time to become a permanent choir member the project goes in choir is just the thing for you completing a choir is created every month let's have a listen. the singers order actually acquired. their lonely perform together

this one evening. in just under two hours they learned to sing their version of the hit song creep by radiohead in three part harmony despite what's really cool is that there are only people you don't know but there is a moment in the song when you look at complete strangers and you will feel the same thing. gives you goosebumps it's like a wave washes over you and you think yeah this is it this is amazing. indie rock tunes in top twenty it's this is no church choir. the go sing choir is no run of the mill choral group and it's not bound by any rules. so what is the idea behind this munich based project. or pay. someone from. in the beginning we come up with a song to sing for them to come to we announce what it is so that people can listen

to it. i'm a creep in this case we chose creep. on monday but then we need to make an arrangement of the song that works for a large choir for. you but there are so many pages that most people wouldn't get through it. especially if they can't read music we're trying to kind of you study group of one hundred years and come up with this in life that is so in order to make things a little bit easier there are a lyric sheets with colors on the sections that repeat i'm standing there so people see the colors and realize oh i don't have to learn something brand new will just repeat what i sang before that's you know one of the four someone whose own home. shows the choir the pitches with his hands after going through a half robot dance. they sing the song in double time.

that way the sequence of notes is repeated more often and becomes ingrained in the memory. after drilling a song for two hours they record a video with multiple cameras like sweet dreams by british pop duo eurythmics. or the pixies anthem where is my mind. as a filmmaker need does the editing himself a few days after the rehearsal the video is posted on line. but it was on your comment cast an old enjoy singing in the choir for them the eight year old participation fee is well worth it. let's give it a try we'll start with you guys. and. the

others come in. by the end of the evening they know the song inside into. the three part harmony is in tune. in fitful south as we go home exhausted but with huge grins on our faces. we're still immersed in the music and get goose bumps all over again. not bad for a choir a good isn't really quite enough the. tube . perhaps the go sing choir doesn't make the crowd for all.

and now it's time for another year max extra to add a week you can choose a destination in europe and we go there and explore it for you today we're heading to scotland we received a request from one of us in bogota colombia i'm ugly a bane i'm a i would like to know more about the country we went to the capital adam barrel for. we weren't alone because some four million people flocked there every year at a bar is well known for its rightists and was even named the world's first literary city by unesco in two thousand and four. legend has served as a source of inspiration for centuries the skyline of the new town is as picturesque as the silhouette of the castle above the old town the entire city center is

a unesco world cultural heritage site its topography has been shaped by volcanic activity making it a city of hills edinburgh is not just scotland's political hub but its creation of one tree especially from writers. one of them is poets christine deluca for three years she was the city's official bard. we have a very rich let's reach edition and i think wherever you go it's like being in an open air museum really if you take this court here this courtyard markers court the very flagstones come alive with the words of the writers the great writers they have to be dead to be here but it's you can't forget them when you walk through here traces of scotland's literary tradition are everywhere. the poet robert ferguson captured the day in this city back in the eighteenth century this is

a statue dedicated to him ferguson also influence scotland's most famous bard robert bands. reminders of the ploughman's poets can be found all over the city. one is a classical greek memorial erected in burns's on a. but there's an even bigger monument to the also some walter scott his historical novel ivanhoe is considered a classic the world over scott also helped promote a remand to size the gentle tea for his homeland making killed sometimes and popular again. and. everyone knows the novel treasure island by robert louis stevenson the author and poet spent much of his early life in this house in edinburgh's new charm. stevenson lived here in the mid nineteenth century nowadays the house belongs to us

a city of many cities with lots of history and i think walking around you can be inspired to walk up to the castle down the royal mile and you see the old city. some say rolling model the wizarding school hold once on edinburgh castle. outside the city there are other sites that have inspired scottish author. walter scott's work immortalized the ruins of time talum castle. just opposite robert louis stevenson his novel katrina was partly set on bass rock . when night falls to pubs and bars in their burrows over time see plenty of custom after all in many places visitors can choose from about three hundred different types of scotch whisky.

start at the checkpoint charlie museum today as a favorite hotspot for tourists but when germany was divided to the border points served as one of the few crossing points between east and west berlin during the cold war excavating from the communist east was the only option for most east germans seeking to live in the west that is because very few were allowed to travel freely today some of these very personal stories can still be folland and the checkpoint charlie museum. during the cold war checkpoint charlie was the best known border crossing between east and west berlin today it's one of the german capital's biggest tourist attractions after world war two the four wartime allies divided up the city this was a gateway between the american and soviet sectors checkpoint charlie museum was opened in one nine hundred sixty two a year after the wall was built and documented the walls impact on people's lives

and how it eventually fell. in this war hero state if this museum stands for freedom that's the main point from the very beginning of the museum has been an expression of precious to gainst the wall. the mission statement was we want freedom in unity. and i hope. visitors from all over the world come to learn about the extremes people went to to cross the border and the tragedies of failed attempts. sixty thousand automatic spring guns were installed on the inner german border any movement and they automatically fired shrapnel and soldiers had orders to shoot anyone in the death strip escaping the east meant risking your life. the museum is still in touch with many of the surviving escapees among them there are

doing a broad freeze up someone helped her leave east berlin by giving her a swiss passport wearing a real fur coat and acting the part she tricked her way through passport control if she'd been caught she'd have gone to prison. if i kept it as if she didn't really check me properly now she gave me a bit of a jet she looked like she thought i was an arrogant swiss person then i realized oh right i'm not a nice the letter anymore so i lifted my nose even higher in the air. put on at least lynas didn't swagger like that they thought i must be a real swiss woman. one of the most spectacular escapes happened in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine in a homemade hot air balloon two couples and four children survived a half hour flight from east germany to bavaria they painstakingly stitched the balloon together from pieces of waterproof material that collected from many sources. only

a few pieces of the berlin wall remain including this section at the berlin wall memorial. when it was still standing the death strip separated east and west friends and families. the founder of the checkpoint charlie museum by negative rant was an anti nazi resistance fighter. who le bron's widow says he helped reporters with their work during the cold war. the good boy that is that there was a building across the street that was in ruins from the war up the store so that's a photographer there fell and seriously injured himself when my husband heard about it he brought all the people here instead the room was warm and dry and they went in danger they could sit and watch what was happening at checkpoint charlie through the window and respond to it they took photos andrew reports that. in

these rooms ryan are going to plan to continue to document what happened on the border between east and west even while the wall was standing people brought him objects they'd used to help them escape like this mining car. they used to build a tunnel when fifty seven people were able to flee to west berlin the museum now attracts around eight hundred fifty thousand visitors a year. we just know the walls so but in this exhibition you can see many things and many real objects and many stories and first impressed me something about this if they think they succeeded to make it will i thought it it couldn't be thought about so we have seen that. the vehicles were indeed prepared for all eventualities like this car with steel panels to protect against gunfire. the museum shows the suffering of the communist

east and it serves as a reminder of this chapter in german history. and tomorrow we'll be visiting the brandenburg gate our next stop on our trip back. in time i'm glad to know which of the well known sites in berlin is your favorite so you can find a selection on our website www dot com slash lifestyle choose one and if you take part your name would automatically enter in our draw for this your maxwell soul good luck but that is all we have time for today so i hope to see you next time until then thanks for watching and bye bye. next time on your own max michael caine is one of the most versatile actors of our time born into a working class family in london he worked his way up to become
