back to the nine hundred sixty s. recording the exciting history of international club culture. we decided to start with the one nine hundred sixty s. because that was the start of a new youth culture. and those young people needed a place to meet and dance and have fun. but there was more to it than just dancing . people would organize concerts and other events. in new york in the one nine hundred sixty s. there was dancing here plus happenings and concepts groundbreaking new bands like the velvet underground played here this was the start of the so-called modern night club. this is its european counterparts the space electronic instruments it was a multifunction cap designed by the radical architects group. for

the one nine hundred seventy s. saw the start of the disco movement and things became more professional. new york new york was a key part of all that was in the late one nine hundred seventy s. and early eighty's new york was in bad shape financially. and property was cheap. the conditions were ideal for new shops like the legendary studio fifty four. from nine hundred seventy seven it was the best for the city's ever god and went down in history as the first disco. everyone who was anyone showed up. recognizing feuded and. you know what if you just go into the club by ian schrager and steve rebels have included not only the rich and famous summons but also people who wore outrageous clothes or otherwise stood out from the crowd the owners just want to have an

interesting group of people. as a stage for individual and collective performance with clubs of inspiration for fashion design is and is a space to. launch. in those days contemporary art didn't end up in museums right away like it says today the clubs gave artists a platform to try out new forms of expression in the late one nine hundred seventy s. and early eighty's herring had close ties to the new york club scene he did wall paintings for clubs like the paradise garage and palladium. like the legendary hacienda in manchester. in an abandoned.

house and techno music from britain and the u.s. took hold in finland. and when the. transformation field and. east and west end this. music with a new found camaraderie. to. look at the place outside is nonconforming could meet. new ideas with them. and regardless of what they did. they exchange those ideas. the model of villains back once the epicenter of the international techno scene. is directed at a wider audience. and i think

a lot of people are interested in the history of clubs like you just about everyone has gone out for a night on the town or. if your clubs represent a time when young people get away from their parents and find their own identity. the clubs help them find that identity. showcasing the relationship between music and design in cap culture the beach or design museum succeeds in presenting the discotheque as an all encompassing. i am for more on the subject go to our instagram page here's more on where to find . 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 max instagram stories and discover how exciting and diverse your

seeing a downward trend blame has been placed on tough competition from social networks and digital media. people have less time to read even so overall book sells remain stable with consumers spending more on caused a product. publishes a scouting for material to win over a new generation of book once. saw graham has switched on its festival of lights springtime symbolizing awakening growth and rebirth is the common theme of the installations brightening the historical center and other spots around croatia's capital. the festival is set to draw crowds of locals and visitors before it wraps up on march eighteenth. what do you do when you live in a city that's too crowded for driving or taking public transportation well you

might consider walking but that takes too long while in london a sporty trend has developed where people are jogging to work now they're called running commuters and they're not only helping their bodies they're also doing something good for the environment. christine a tough one nova is late for work her office is seven kilometers away but she's not going to drive there or take the subway or a bus. christina is a financial analyst she's also a run commuter she carries her business clothes in a backpack i do this to me time efficient in the morning and get my exercise while commuting to work and also there's so much pollution in la that i'm trying to positively. contributing to produce like i've been putting. air pollution in london reached the legal limit for the whole year in january alone city health officials say air pollution is the cause of ten thousand premature deaths in london every

year now people like christina are increasingly changing gear and jogging to work. there are more run commuters in london than anywhere else in the world amsterdam and paris rank second and third but jogging through the crowded city streets can be dangerous. so. more and more businesses are installing showers for employees who jog to work. that gives them the opportunity to make themselves presentable before they start the work day. but air pollution is just one hazard that joggers have to face there are also major traffic jams a recent report showed london has the second worst traffic congestion in europe.

is really a big concern because ultimately this means there's a decrease in productivity from the business side but also quite a big cost is being passed on to the driver whether that's through. costs like fuel wasted sitting in traffic or just the time that you're losing. commuters often get stuck in trains subways and buses snarling traffic david white got tired of delays so he set up a run commuter group they'd jog home together after work. but used to drive in an hour and it was probably take you make it could take anywhere between ninety to two hours but the trip in and out of london. now it takes just an hour and the views are better to. here in berlin you don't have to go very far to experience international cuisine well today cambodian food is on the menu from a man who was forced to create a new life for himself in the face of war and adversity danny hawke moved to east berlin in the late eighty's after losing his family during pol pot's tyrannous

regime where he began working as a cook and he eventually moved on to own his own restaurant will today he shares a dish with us which reminds him of the place he once called home. is my home. the mobile beat district of berlin was once a working class neighborhood danny hall opened our want here in two thousand and six back then it was germany's first cambodian restaurant. it's just a stone's throw from the palace the official residence of the german president. danny hall gets many of his ingredients in asian food stores all the wholesaler the more exotic ingredients can't be found in many grocery stores.

i like coming here but it's not my restaurant so it's a quick trip and i can get everything i need in my kitchen on these line leaves have an intense flavor that. we use them for seasoning i believe but i love them. danny hawk came to germany in one thousand nine hundred eighty eight when he was just nineteen in cambodia he grew up with foster parents and an uncle after losing his entire family to the brutal camero rouge regime. he still has contact with his foster father and others back home. three years ago danny and some friends paid a visit to the place in cambodia where as a nine year old boy he had buried his own mother. the mayor of the local community also helped him find his mother's grave and danny

held a buddhist ceremony in her memory. although he. he still feels a strong tie to cambodia today danny calls berlin. and . then. when i think of home i remember my parents in cambodia when i was little. or i miss it a lot. i also miss the food my mother used to cook for me. when i wasn't allowed to help just wash me and one i remember the food in the sense. those familiar scents always remind me of home and wonder if and when one of them when they. come up tray is a traditional cambodian dish. comes

in many different versions it can be made with fish usually monkfish gaseous or seabass or with chicken or tofu. cambodian feel it is flavorful but not as spicy heart as many other southeast asian cuisines. now mark is a combo tea and term for cooking curry impaneling it's trade means with fish.

steaming helps the dish develop its flavors. a mock tray is served in a bowl on a bed of banana leaves and rice. income ottavi even with a thumb on the. we used to build. one similar to spin his for example but not the kind that we know here in germany and the people here don't like it much it would be a must win that's why we also use other ingredients like the bell peppers and nostrils. the basic flavor of our mark is the same as you get in composed you can be. in cambodia shared meals are an important part of the culture it's a tradition that danny hawke wants to pass on he sees his role not just as chef but as host to. its cosy hand i like that the place just has a very nice feel to it. the way it is

a very friendly and happy to recommend nice dishes it's very homey here. this is. my. whenever i long for our food back home i come here and speak cambodian with the owner and listen to my music playing in the background then i feel like i'm back home. and. they've adapted some of the dishes to european tastes but it's always delicious you can eat a lot without getting fat to. the cambodian community and berlin is still fairly small but many come here to angora want to enjoy the familiar foods and flavors. private. but i think. when you're trying. thanks to james bond the cia my six stasi and so on the world of spying has always been fascinating to the general public it's dangerous mysterious and it involves

some of the most outlandish tactics but spine of course is not just a thing of the past or of the movies as it is still very much a part of the modern world which is one thing visitors will discover at the german spy museum in berlin. clinical bridge between berlin and potsdam was also the border between west berlin and east germany until nine hundred eighty nine it's a place of historical significance as this is where the eastern and western powers swapped captured spies during the cold war. in twenty fifteen hollywood director steven spielberg used the bridge as an authentic location for his oscar winning film bridge of spies in it tom hanks plays an american lawyer sent to negotiate a spy swap. for

. this and other stories are featured at the german spy museum in berlin. tourists come to berlin because of its history and of course espionage played a major role especially during the cold war here in the capital of spies. one highlight of the exhibition is a trap be fitted with infrared cameras it allowed east germany's stasi to spy on its own citizens. the german spy museum has hundreds of items on display in an area covering three thousand square meters including these radios used by secret agents during world war two. and an original enigma machine used by the nazis to encrypt messages. but the museum also addresses the current state of espionage displaying examples of digital surveillance technology just offering up from the german spy museum is the only museum that deals with the history of espionage that

means that worldwide there are only very few examples that deal at all with espionage and none really that show a chronicle of espionage its history since ancient times the way ours does. this may look like something from a james bond film but it was actually in new. a lipstick pistol made for the soviet secret service for this camera sewn into a bra. a matchbox camera perfect for concealing a profit or a key chain that can record. truth really can be stranger than fiction. here this kind of thing becomes real that's for us just like movies and that and here we see that if it actually happened it actually history the things that we start things that we saw so yeah it's just. it's real. it's in my opinion. the german spy museum opened in twenty fifteen in

a historic location right on potsdamer platz where the wall dividing east and west berlin used to be remnants of the wall still recall the cold war era. that's inspired many filmmakers. a number of spy thrillers have been shot in berlin including the american t.v. series homeland. its entire fifth season was produced in the german capital. there was also the bourne ultimatum starring matt damon. who feel for many international film productions for producers and screenwriters berlin is important because of its background as the capital for spies and espionage so you have authentic locations which you can refer to a lot of the one from. the spine museum also takes a trip to the cinema. this red telephone is from

a james bond movie. and if you want to test your secret agent skills you can try to get through the laser beam obstacle course. but real spies seldom see that kind of action agents. tend to do most of their work from the office just because the real work of espionage is very arduous slow time consuming and very tedious these days spying is largely conducted using digital technology but no matter how the agents work this museum shows dissidents of only just tell fascinating espionage can be. museum looks like it could become one of the most popular tourist destinations in berlin well in the meantime we want to let you in on the winner of this week's contest now we asked you what your favorite destinations are and wayne chow from canada said that for him it is the brandenburg gate but in fact when he's visiting germany he really likes to go to the

supermarket to get a feel for the country which is a bad idea so wayne congratulations you have won yourself a euro max watch all right and finally let's take a look now at a swedish designer who has many feathers in his cap and what he does with them is worthy over oil to. these i catch in hats are very nice but with price tags of up to twenty five hundred euros they're not for everyday use. sweden's tim martin is known as the king the feathers he's the only designer in the country who uses these materials exclusively. some of these items are about one hundred years old he protects them from insect damage by spraying them with the steam of a sea the team. has been working with feathers since the mid one nine hundred eighty s. . first

i just used feathers for stage costumes. and then i noticed that feathers look so great that i could use them in a lot of other ways. we had a fair amount of. m.d.t. does that this fact successor is and items of clothing. local fashion designers like lost love mortensen's creations and use them to in homes their designs right now calling is looking for some white feathers to add grace and glamour to his current collection both designers consider feathers natural works of art but not everyone agrees it's illegal to hunt some endangered but species so many design is few spatters for. martin says he understands people's concern the sound. c.m.'s the. dog you simply can't create artificial feathers as beautiful as these.

although people do ask me for them the in august leggett malavika more and more people these days are absolutely opposed to the use of real feathers. but don't worry my materials come from birds that have already been butchered based on us and not because of their feathers on. he had no school. so tim martin soon has a clear conscience about the materials he uses and he'll keep using feathers to create his standout styles. on the news and with that we are out of time but don't forget to go to our web site for more on the program or you can always check us out on facebook or instagram as always for me and the crew here at euro max thanks for tuning in and reese we'll see you again tomorrow for our highlight show. next time on your max the highlights edition including sailing around the world
