through russia before the election. he needs to get more and the rich those who support the president and those who pose him and investigative journalists. showboats our series this week on d w numerous. welcome to the show great to have you here let's have a look at what we've lined up for you today. action woman swedish actress and he said you can that is the new lara croft. magic man wows fans with this amazing. and i feel at home

living the concrete dream near the conus capital. in one thousand nine hundred ninety six the action hero lara croft was born as the main character of the computer game to merida the game soon developed into a serious and nearly sixty million copies were sold worldwide this makes to radio one of the most successful computer games ever over the years lara croft has changed to look in two thousand once she made it onto the big screen followed by the second firm in two thousand and three back of them she was played by actor angelina jolie now a new two rated movie is on release action guaranteed but one thing has changed also going to become the from sweden is the new lara croft. swedish actress elise of a controversy lara croft in the latest film version of to murder should a. sunday. cruft.

the movie follows laura's every first adventures her father disappeared when she was a young girl and. years later she still refuses to believe he's dead and sets out in search of him it's the start of an action adventure and soon the fate of humanity is at stake. don't be too careful these days the world has gone bloody might just take two years for academy award winner alicia kandor the role was a trip back to her own childhood. lara croft in the tomb raider games have been quite groundbreaking i mean it was the first female protagonist in a video game i was a nine ten year old girl standing in the living room i you know so curious i wanted to be part and try this adventure on with finally was the girl that i was you know

it was conflate. a former ballet dancer the kind of devoted seven months to intent to strengthen didn't durance training before shooting began. and she performed many of her own stunts and fight scenes in the film. she was a real trooper i mean we put her through a lot we had to read some wind machines even for her doll olympic whitewater rafting course i wasn't prepared how tough it was going to be to do all these water sequences much to you know water cannons i mean that was tough but me having six huge plants which means when the water actually hits you know it's kind of time into ice so you got really cold it was a problem like the toughest out of all the action sequences surprised me.

and it paid off with action packed scenes and a convincing scream character. the condor had a tough act to follow after the same role made a star she played lara croft in the first two movie versions of to greater in two thousand and one and two thousand and three to gether the films have great in nearly three hundred fifty million euros worldwide. i think the only reason i came on board this well was because i found out it was going to be a very different take on it like myself that i watched but i think it was more maybe the pressure that i. felt more that it's hard to from the beginning but now even you know twenty two years later still has a huge following and a big fan base and of course i want to make sure that i own the character but they

already love. most of the filming was done in south africa some scenes required studio work but preference was given. real settings as much as possible instead of green screen and computer animation very few moments ago when you were. the director wanted the fantasy world to look as genuine as possible it wasn't the action scenes that were pivotal to the condor but the narrative ones especially those involving laura's relationship with her father so much i found about relationship especially when i was introduced to what they wanted to do with this film when i met the director and the produces is that the father daughter relationship is really at the core of the story and you could pull that one out and put it any sean and it will be a fact full and something that you will want to follow. but action fans have nothing to worry about the new tomb raider still has plenty of thrill.

that they watch the new movie let's find out now what else is going on in europe and today's express our owned up of cultural events and it starts in paris with an extraordinary exhibition. of. ten paintings including box by picasso and monterey on display at christie's paris hilton house the artworks will go on tour before their options off in new york is maggie's the paintings come from the collection of u.s. billionaires peggy and david rockefeller they're expected to fetch as much as four hundred million euros the jewel in the crown is picasso's young girl with a pound basket from nineteen a fine it's valued at around one hundred million euros . kim wilde is back her

thirteenth studio album goes on release on march sixteenth with the otherworldly title here come the aliens. the reason for that is because of an event that happened to me back in two thousand and nine where i witnessed some astonishing lights in the sky which i can only describe as youth of. plenty of other people saw them too and so of course it was going to be the inspiration for the artwork. with over thirty million albums sold today to the british singer is one of the world's most successful recording artists for european tour kicks off at the end of march. berlin's museums will add almost a hundred works by german artists not spect man to their collections best man ranks among the most important modernist artists the collection was

a bequest from art historian barbara. among the works are numerous self portraits an exhibition has been planned for the coming fall. when he got a magic set from his grandfather at the age of ten o'clock probably never guessed that he would later become one of the world small successful musicians he has followed his passion since as child it in the beginning his father an engineer but many of his chicks send them a lot of things have happened the award winning illusionist has made a name for himself as the fastest in the world clarke is currently on tour with a new program one that is both magical and mystical at the same time. comes clark has been working his magic for over thirty years ever since he was a child he dreamt of being a world famous magician with his own show in las vegas. he's done it all now he's

on the road with his new show. this is that it was noised you always have to come up with a. thing new if you go see tina turner for example you wanted to do all the big cases but with me or david copperfield people want to see something new. from this both of them so if i'm always on tour always on the bus and that's when i write down ideas and think about what would work and it doesn't mean currently i'm busy with eight new things but i'll probably just only keep about three before the f.b.i. with me but. in the show house of mystery clock wants to do more than just perform tricks she wants to tell a story as the world's fastest illusionist he must fight for a book of spells that contains the greatest magic secrets. in the scientists and some tricks like harmless but

a dangerous while others look dangerous but they're harmless. when done well it should look easy as it's like dance or playing the piano the audience should be relaxed they should believe that i really am a magician sort of. like you. that. i'm not sure why this is still so popular people are so busy online and technology is everywhere. then they come to my shows to watch someone levitate or watch something in comprehensible sounds in the day. this trick earned him an award at monte carlo as famous circus festival in twenty fourteen he was the first illusionist ever to win. the finished i'm proud of the award a magician deceived the public but when you're good you see in people's eyes it's like they're having a waking dream or they like it and that makes me happy just to me good.

then comes the grand finale fifteen tricks in five minutes close calls to world records in this discipline. i want to know because in the good toys you wonder how your eyes can be deceived like that in this first scene yet it's fascinating to look carefully and you think you should be able to figure out how it works sonia rykiel started out you'll never figure it out so you might as well sit back and just enjoy it that's going to see. and like all great illusionists hum's cluck takes care never to reveal any of the secrets. that would be kind of boring wouldn't it in any case it never gets boring here in berlin often living here for almost five years now and there is always something new to discover the history of the city is extremely fascinating and you can still see this in many places we're showing you some of

them this week in our series a trip back in time today we'll have a closer look at the wall once it's divided the city into east and west berlin and even east berlin was extremely difficult for most people it was simply impossible in one thousand nine hundred nine the historical moment came the fall off the wall today little remains of it perhaps that's why the three hundred sixty degree wall panorama is so popular. only a few sections of the berlin wall remain the longest is the famous east side gallery the surviving pieces are a reminder of the border that once divided by land paving stones marked the course the berlin wall once took across the city this chapter in history is still of particular interest to tourists. i think they could be considering how historic it was like a really nice of the world but i think it's it stand out. they need to be. more

p.c. sniffing if they start to see. exactly what the three hundred sixty degree panorama . hopes to achieve opened in two thousand and twelve visitors are transported back to the divided city to get a taste of life back then. they are surrounded by nine hundred eighty s. berlin on a gray november day looking out from west to east berlin. music and various soundbites from the time help visitors feel how it was back then. but. i still have goosebumps you could never imagine it i mean you see the pictures on t.v. that this puts you right there in the middle of it i have to say i found it really fascinating step by as from saddam's fantasy and it was a really impressive in the room even gives you a sense of the historical background of artistry at a gas easy took three and

a half years to complete the image. of the west ending five metres away from the wall looking over it towards the east when we see people living there just like anywhere else without being aware or at least registering that they're living right next to the berlin wall. jadick at assisi portrays life under the shadow of the wall creating the right up my sphere was more important to him than being rigidly factual. he himself is a witness of the era. for years he lived in the section of the features and his panorama . almost everything you see here is a part of my own experience so i didn't have to do research. to get a c.z. was born in vienna but grew up in former east germany in one thousand nine hundred

seventy eight he was deported to west berlin and lived near the border the concrete walls was a part of his everyday life. he rebuilt his world from back then. a computer with drawings and countless photos he took using extremes as something. that sights and creating the look of the times wasn't easy at all finding accessories to bring the era back to life is that everything from the lackaday to buildings to the old showing the machines you have to be consistent as a. consequence. i returned with a visitor tower was built to house the panoramic screen which is fifty meters high and sixty meters wide. twenty fabric strips were printed and stapled together. both a logistical and financial demands were extremely high. problematic

with a panorama everything is enormous and costs a lot of money as a solo artist you never think something like this be possible by. this three hundred sixty degree kind of the war is a tribute to this historical era the images reflect the banality of everyday life even under such a bleak circumstances rather than you're also seeing that people will leave here and say i stood right next to the berlin wall the memory will be even stronger than the real thing maybe they'll also reflect on how they were just if something like that happened to them or they'll go home and think i already do have to adjust in my life in my job and so on i think it opens up a lot of questions but maybe some answers to. the panorama is sure to bring back memories to those who experience to divide it by and offers others a good idea of what it was like. this tree of berlin is featured all week long in

our series a trip back in time and because of that but it's also the topic off our drawl of the week we would like to know where. of the well known landscapes here like most current day of the brandenburg gate leads the list but that concert change so join in tell us what your favorite is you'll find a selection on our website at www dot com slash lifestyle among all participants we'll be giving away a euro mix watch so good luck with that. and we continue with a new episode of your magazine in this weekly series we show you extraordinary architecture from all over europe the following birding fits that description really well according to the architects for this house in poland more concrete was used for any other private house in europe before or doesn't sound very cozy right with a little trick the building almost looks like it's made of wood. national

park is just outside the polish capital warsong here you can find a house that looks like it's made of timber but the facade is actually made of concrete. one more come out good inside my house six hundred tons of concrete going into the house which is owned by a bankrupt your chromeo costs. look natural in this location because the location is so are with find. and with. no intruders or even very close in to this place we want to be at home. concrete plays a major role in the interior as well. the wood like appearance of the long skids this normally harnish on a cold material and entirely different feel. to

have. wooden parts. if it is not our fate i fear you know this is a better war material but of the. cough ski moved into the four hundred fifty square meter house with his wife and three children some eight years ago. at first he had some doubts about the use of concrete but not anymore. we can feel that this place. most of us. bring some sort of stability. so i like to. stability

comes at a price though you can't simply hammer a nail into a concrete wall and hang a picture for example. ski has a simple trick. this is one of the versions of the double sided with. this one goes like. you have to. fix it like this so just a toy one. stick it to the wall. and the other part to get to the picture. just. has to go and that's it. most of. the media cough ski family enjoys being close to nature the house has a rooftop terrace and stands on six hundred square metres of land.

in the inner courtyard has a pool planning and building lasted three years it took time to develop the perfect texture and color to achieve the. wood on the concrete surface. we were experimenting quite a lot and i were happy to find people who are enthusiastic about working. with concrete so we. provide some rent and a company from crackled with a secure story except softball and. brought the. ruck . storing up for the fall so it's off. buildings and crackle and this is how the picture was created. house that has a warm and natural feel proof that concrete is more versatile than if. you just have to be prepared to experiment.

owners seem to have a way of time. a yoga class with a difference in london. the downward facing dog posture shouldn't be any problem for these pooches as long as they manage to concentrate. in stress and tension or just answer the way. it's no good for you and your dog a lot of people think it's tokyo but actually still do yoga and they don't need to do go to poses it is actually human yoga in which dogs are invited into the session and they are allowed to roam around freely the. money john green helped bring to britain it first appeared in two thousand and two in the united states. in

london sessions are generally held in rented cafes or nightclubs since many gyms don't allow dogs but nobody seems to mind. right for the dogs so the first thing is quite shy we will have a dog quiet shy dog. but gradually he gets more comfortable i think the dog. interact with you and feel everything you feel i'm i truly believe that and when you get to that state the pay for the dog gets to a state that is well. the humping is part of you know you're working with animals what are you going to do. in spite of these minor distractions after ninety minutes of dog the dogs and their owners are thoroughly.
