caine turns into politics. from places every day locations that make for great party venue. 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 and 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 and 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.

shoes f. definitely evolved we've moved away from was from those very very sexy kind of a shoe to today if you want to look for shoes it makes it a little bit more. because everybody's trying to look cool. but now we have a lot of shoes that are a mix of styles. somewhere between cowboy boots. it's an interesting train. the shoes to the shoes are made for. even if they look very feminine you should still be able to move in the. suits in every imaginable style are hot this year and are basically all seasoned footwear. for rainy days they're transparent boots made of see through plastic. like the special which come in white or black heels. if you

talk about transparent boots i think we must talk about them because he's the one who 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 boots and mesh fabric with or without a peep toe. supermodel paired them with a mini dress. and lace ups are also back. lace the boots are also very stylish the season i think we saw or and another shows as well and that of course from on to a little bit of a trunk but is 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 journalist. sneakers really make for a younger silhouettes first of all they're a lot more comfortable and i think really it's a question of grounding the silhouette to looking more and more modern more edgy 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. no those are very much in fact i would say it's a logo maybe. 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. nationals one of them had to have known that we should all be a bit more creative from him but when you look at the eighty's and ninety's they had more colors more shapes they didn't take fashion so seriously they had more fun with images and music to preserve. this season special 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 a screen actors guild award he was knighted back in two thousand and now on wednesday is celebrating his eighty fifth birthday to 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 alan arkin they play a trio of retirees who turned to crime the three oscar winners say they had fun doing it just didn't get better as you get older. not better known as. good as we got to get but it's just easier doing it. so much because they can't

in making anybody i'm not able to play for the whole of the womanizing out cain hit the big time just about hollywood took notice and soon he was on his way to l.a. cops rubbing shoulders with the biggest stars of the day. i was sitting in this chair made. me look i mean look to me what's your name. michael kay he said are you in a movie called alfie. yeah. he said. too much. the late sixty's and seventy's sartain perfect his on screen presence with numerous memorable performances like his starring role in the hugely successful the italian job in one nine hundred sixty nine. actors playing a lot of lights but when people are emotional. blink.

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 event. 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. 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

sivana by little 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 head of a 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 entirely to his second passion photography with success well guess what his favorite month. highlights captured by savannah. images turns out for me dance is an expression of joy and that's what i try to convey in the photos i will deal with and not in the emotion but also the drama and

the liveliness. there are many facets to the dance that are interesting in terms. raised in switzerland savannah spent thirteen years as a dancer and son who is twickenham that ballet under the direction of stunt choreography. and spencer 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 korea. 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 almost like today with the doses of the german national you spend. you can look in turn 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 also 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 side just absolutely. this is his favorite. anderson from mr inglis fer me hands are essential delicate extension of the body and is an energy flows through the hands it's perfect and complete and that's why pictures of hands or close ups have such powerful emotional resonance their stock. dances also appreciated on his ability to capture the essence of that ont. 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 and legs to feed the horses like the direction like game changing of the dancer in the it's very nice quality to work so you could even describe it 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 duramax instagram stories and discover how exciting and diverse europe can be. follow us on instagram. if you do go to our instagram side you will find lots of photos of the german capital berlin 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 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 that survived off of the building of the wall it formed part of the border between east and west but that today are extensive renovation it stands for the unification 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. to squats outside. 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 so that's in. eighty seven h.d. screens form a two hundred seventy degree panorama coupled with surround sound. focuses 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 include the german national soccer teams twenty fourteen world cup victory celebrations at the brandenburg gate itself. one voter that you know it really takes you back to those times you're fully absorbed on board of the 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 if your father says and it's like i really without the glasses. my goodness maybe now 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 is more in-depth presentation taking visitors on a dual track trip through the past. death

on the sun a lot bush in one room speeds you through history on all the other room slows down again. you can read up on the background and the various historical areas to deepen your understanding or and. so for. 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 the gate 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 reunification. whether it's new year's eve or the public zone for watching the soccer world cup on

a giant screen in the brandenburg gate is a famous location for its big public events. the store is and is 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 leader of. the brandenburg gate is crowned with the goddess of victory. and her chariot known as the quiet week. no visit to the german capital would be complete without a stop at berlin's most famous landmark. well that's so true and if you're visiting berlin the brandenburg gate is definitely a must see is also my favorite site in the city but now it's up to you this week we want to know which well known landmark is your favorite we've put
