day locations that make for great party venues. when it comes to fashion shoes are in the spotlight this year instead of just completing an outfit women's shoes are now designed to attract attention designers have created shoes made of plastic sometimes in that cloak or with a really thick sole these shoes are supposed to be quite comfortable well that would be great we took a look around to see what's hot adams if you can dare to wear it out on the street . it's weird and wonderful when it comes to shoes fashion designers are pulling out all the stops this year or something to suit every taste. from sneakers to boots. shoes abduction aliyev we've moved away from was from those very

very sexy kind of a shoe that today if you want to look for a shoes it makes it a little bit more. because everybody is trying to look. good now we have a lot of shoes that are a mix of styles. between cowboy boots. it's an interesting train your dishes to do this shoes are made for. even if they look very feminine you should still be able to move in them. suits in every imaginable style are hot this year and are basically all seasoned footwear. for rainy days they're a transparent boots made of see through plastic. like piece by chanel which come in white or black heels. that. i do talk about transparent boots i think we must talk about season because he's the one who really brought them in different

sizes different labs very very high ones of you know. above the knee and the lower ones as well. definitely transparent and i think plastic it's comfortable it's very soft and comfortable so the plastic today is different from the plastic from fifty years ago. for spring and summer there are also tight fitting fabrics with or without a peep toe. supermodel paired them with a mini dress. and lace ups are also back. lace a boots are also very stylish the season i think we saw or at another shows as well and that of course from on to a little bit of a trunk but out of a sensual connotation so it's not something new as the designers just think that it's a great style for women out. at the other end of the style spectrum sneakers are no

longer just for the gym the futuristic look is also in with chunky sneakers that could be straight out of star wars. they're popular with trend setters like german fashion. and french fashion journalists. sneakers really make for our younger silhouettes first of all they're a lot more comfortable and i think really it's a question of a grounding the silhouette to looking more and more modern more. younger and appealing to millennial is that are really sort of a rule in fashion right now or at least what designers think that fashion should be today. still there is no shortage of elegance kitten heels pumps with heels less than five centimeters are feminine more practical than high heels or stilettos whatever the style though more and more often the latest footwear is coming adorned

with a designer logo. logos are very much in fact i would say it's a logo maybe all over again. another comeback shoes that perfectly match your outfit and even your handbag with one element flowing into the next. sometimes it's even hard to tell where the shoo ins and the pants begin. others go for a look that's more of a study in contrasts like this classic by my tom. they were had to have that we should all be a bit more creative from all but when you look at the eighty's and ninety's they had more colors more shapes and they didn't take fashion so seriously they had more fun with it than music to priest. since fashion is definitely more about the fun with footwear that sure to surprise. michael caine is one of

the few actors to have won the four top them accolades for acting he has taken home two oscars for golden globes as well as a bafta and the screen actors guild award he was knighted back in two thousand and now on wednesday is celebrating his eighty fifth birthday at two icon on the service screen by well don't think he's resting on his laurels michael caine is still very much a versatile actor. in his latest film michael caine stars alongside morgan freeman and alan arkin playing a trio of retirees who turned to crime the three oscar winner say they had fun doing it. didn't get better as you get older. easier easier not better and easier to good as we're going to get but it's just easier doing it because we care so much because they call destroy us any more right because you've got no career because we've had one for. michael caine was born morris joseph micklewhite jr in

one thousand nine hundred thirty three to a working class family in london. he was determined to make his mark from an early age. i told you people to be careful where you put your legs in one thousand nine hundred sixty six he appeared speaking in a cockney accent rather than using standard pronunciation to spoil a good thing that's a thing you women call good idea it's a great thing about breaking down barriers i spent my entire life doing it because i was in the bottom of the class so i had to break down to get anywhere because i'm from a very. group working class people in london cockneys where all the troublemakers gangsters everything you know with smart people but i'm not even like anybody on a night out playing the whole of the womanizing chain hit the big time to be just hollywood took notice and soon he was on his way to l.a.

i kept rubbing shoulders with the biggest stars of the day. i was sitting in this chair. and he looks amazing what's your name. said michael kay he said are you in a movie called our fate i said yeah. he said. too much. the late sixty's and seventy's kane perfect his on screen presence with numerous memorable performances like his starring role in the hugely successful. in one nine hundred sixty nine. act it's blink. but when people are emotional. link. and i learned this trick i can go forever without blinking and my acting is made to

look like it's not acting and it's very easy to make you're living is about as difficult. he won his first oscar for his role in the one nine hundred eighty seven woody allen film hannah and her sisters. his second oscar followed in two thousand for cider house rules. but many consider the quiet american to be his best film. i think marco realized that there was one of those parts that comes so. complex character a complex story i think marcus could be hungry as he gets all about michael really was. in the two thousand and seven version of sleuth he plays an aging writer opposite jude law who played a young hairdresser the one nine hundred seventy two version also starred came back then he was the young hairdresser playing opposite laurence olivier. while larry

was a dangerous eccentric i am a murderous psychotic that's the difference he's very much darker fulfillments and larry said larry larry was probably much more but this is kind of scary. wow what a surprise. nice to see again yeah. after decades in the spotlight kane remains a charismatic presence and it's enjoyable to watch as ever. if you write a you don't spike they get maybe the scripts where you're playing the lead you know you usually grandad up in the corner or something you know so i was very happy to do it. michael caine has been married to his wife securest since one nine hundred seventy three unlike many famous actors his private life has never made headline. in a career spanning more than sixty years michael caine has played countless roles giving

each of them a style all his own. and who has good reason to celebrate this week find out now in today's express. prince i'll bet the second of monica's celebrates his sixtieth birthday on wednesday to mark the occasion a concert will be held in monaco cathedral. the son of the new the third and actress grace kelly i'll bet married his wife princess shall then in twenty eleven . the couple have twins that on now three years old i bet the second has ruled monaco since two thousand and five. the live show universal judgment michelangelo in the secrets of the sistine chapel is set to debut in rome on thursday the nine million euro production features acrobats dancers and special effects it honors the life and work of the renaissance artist.

and i wanted to show the spirit that exists between michelangelo and his works of journalists with this we'll put it out there. the production was created in cooperation with the vatican museums held in the auditorium conciliatory only two shows per day are scheduled to run for at least a year. prince harry's fiance meghan markle made her first official appearance with queen elizabeth on monday the royals attended a special commonwealth day service at westminster abbey. today is a celebration of the commonwealth which currently numbers fifty three member countries.

there's always a good reason to celebrate but sometimes it's the location that puts the icing on the cake when it comes to a really good party you can celebrate at home with a small circle of friends but some people around the room or even a whole by maybe you've sort of waited in your garden before the place is that we've fallen for the latest episode of a high five serious so on usual there are probably not many people who have partied like this before here i. buy ordinary locations that make for a great party venues. this could well be the world's smallest nightclub number five on our list is a good old telephone to get it out with strobe lights a fog machine and your favorite tunes there are six tele discos worldwide two of them here in berlin concert your calling and the party starts you even get a photo as proof.

if you're lucky you might stumble upon a party almost by chance for example on the underground subway parties are a popular trend in several european cities and they're in fourth place on our list although they may look spontaneous they're usually organized flash mobs but even in techno crazy berlin rocking out on the subway is still a fairly rare offense. this party is a real roller coaster ride well not exactly it's a cable car ride complete with a d.j. this gondola turned disco clocks in third on our list these days it's how the alpine resort of leisure in austria celebrates the start of the winter season.

instead of a commute how about a celebration there's no traffic jams here just jamming out it's number two on our list of unexpected places to throw a party out obama. admitted early an out obama isn't usually this chill but in summer two thousand and ten the city of s. and decided to turn over the a forty to party goers for six hours maybe this could be another way to cut those diesel emissions. grocery shopping there's no getting around it a chore that's usually something of a yawn. but then suddenly a party breaks out strobe lights and disco beats right between the fresh veggies and the freezer section it tops our list of memorable party locations in the netherlands and here in berlin the supermarket owner didn't mind they might be

rocking the house down but most things on the shelves came through unscathed. believe. sivana by law and i discovered his passion for dancing at the age of seven he turned his hobby into his profession and later he became a professional dancer for thirteen years but only was a member of the hamburg ballet for us as a soloist so he would have now thought about ending his career but then a back injury forced him to stop performing he devoted himself anti-elite his second passion photography with success well guess what his favorite motif. highlights captured by his ivana.

for me dance is an expression of joy and that's what i tried to convey in the photos. the emotion but also the drama and the liveliness. there are many facets of dance that are interesting times. born and raised in switzerland sivana spent thirteen years as a dancer and son who is with the. under the direction of stock choreography. in terms of fifteen when he was in his late twenty's a back injury forced him to give up. photography had always been a hobby of his now he's turned it into his second career. when you've been a dancer for so many years it's hard to give that up to break that physical routine . photography was a great transition for me because it means i'm still involved in dance.

he spends his days backstage often at the hamburg ballet like today with the doses of the german national he's back. to move turn around something. when i see the dance through a lens i'm swept up it's like i'm inwardly dancing along the amazon is a fun timing timing is very important in dance and if you know the steps because you've done it yourself then you know when the zenith will come. so it's easier for me to capture this moment because i know exactly when to take the photo. this is his favorite. and this infamous thing least for me hands are essential delicate extension of the body and it's an energy flow see the hands it's perfect and complete and so that's why pictures of hands or close ups have such powerful emotional resonance that stock. dances also appreciated on his ability to capture

the essence of the art. he can really portrays but that the answer wants to tell to the audience is not just like a pretty picture with a pretty background it's more than just that it's like the focus on the face and the hands on the legs that feed the torso they do to the action like maintain that dancer in the it's very nice quality to two works you could even describe as magical. europe at its best your imax brings you the highlights on instagram stunning landscapes spectacular buildings and mouthwatering delicacy our reporters are constantly on the look out with their cameras we look forward to your comments check out our your maps instagram stories and discover how exciting and diverse europe can be. follow was on instagram. if you do go to our instagram side you will find lots of photos of the german

capital berlin at the brandenburg gate is probably one of the most photographed landmarks here some thirty million tourists flock to the city every year and most of them stop by the famous landmark you know fact the brandenburg gate is one of the most visited sites in the country it's the only one of the eight hundred former city gates survived off of the building of the wall it formed part of the border between east and west but today after extensive renovation it stands for reunification this morning and has an eventful history that offers enough material for its own museum a perfect stop for this week's series a trip back and. the brandenburg gate stands tall in the heart of berlin for many visitors it's

a must see location. but they might not know much about its history anyone curious to find out more can visit the gate berlin a privately run museum just fifty meters from the monument. a multimedia show off herself whirlwind history of the gate and the city of berlin three hundred years in just under twenty minutes it's ideal for tourists who have a busy schedule. not saw it. and what's in the book look our aim was to provide an emotional overview of berlin's complex history and explain it to an international audience without the need for speech issues it's a linear journey through history via images d. d. d. d. d. so that's in. eighty seven h.d. screens form a two hundred seventy degree panorama coupled with surround sound. but your focus

is on several key periods including darker chapters of german history such as the. war the suppression of the east german uprising in one nine hundred fifty three. happier moments in the german national soccer teams twenty fourteen world cup victory celebrations at the brandenburg gate itself. what are these you know it really takes you back to those times you're fully absorbed onboard a team and i'm the. guy you don't really know where to look because so much is going on it's definitely worth seeing twice what he's done since your father says and it's like i really without the glasses. my goodness maybe not you get a far better feel for what happened then from history. after the show visitors enter another room with picture and text boards containing details about the brandenburg gate. the team behind the exhibit has already brought various other

modern museum concepts to life they combine modern media with more in-depth presentations taking visitors on a dual track trip through the past. to. death on the sun a lot bush in one room speeds you through history on all and the other room slows down again. you can read up on the background and the various historical areas to deepen your understanding. so far teachin. the neoclassical monument was built in the eighteenth century on the side of the previous city gate . originally on the outskirts its location soon became the center of a rapidly growing city it was badly damaged in world war two after the berlin wall was built in one nine hundred sixty one to date stood in the no man's land between east and west. then when the berlin wall fell in one thousand nine hundred nine the

gate became a symbol of german unification. whether it's new year's eve or a public zone for watching the soccer world cup on a giant screen the brandenburg gate is a famous location for big public events. those toys and these over and over too but you can think about the gate as an entry into berlin and that's exactly what the museum represents more so if it's a place where you spend about thirty minutes getting an overview of the city of the history and of the significance of berlin to the board member. of. the brandenburg gate is crowned with the goddess of victory. in her chariot known as the puerto rico. no visit to the german capital would be complete without a star at berlin's most famous landmark. well those of your visiting berlin the brandenburg gate is definitely
