israel seventy. two displays two nations that owns over one homeland featured in the want to program. one room in the bush agreed on peace but an assassin put an end to that trying. to return useful to the displaced people who still fight for their homeland his real seventy years may twelfth on t.w. of all broadcast times online. graves to have you on board again from fantastic photos to the list as this is he has what's come into the day so. colorful a british artist gives
12:31 am
a black and white photos and you can then send. to me introduce another dannielle in the spanish capital nugget. arms classic as ukrainian news in some places on the sex assault. we kick off today so with the back and time and the past photos were only in black and white spots jordan lloyd's image just brings some attitude life's to them as in color to black and white photos has been around for a long time but with today's technology the british photographer can add a new level off we have this is that his book the paper machine coloring the process is the person proves. the eiffel tower wasn't always great when it was completed one hundred thirty years ago it was an elegant finish and read. this nine hundred forty s. black and white snapshot really comes. life with
12:32 am
a splash of color it shows us so just by the taj mahal. of perhaps the most famous native american sitting bull is now available in color. these old photos have had color added to them retroactively. the person behind the digital reconstructions is thirty four year old jordan lloyd a british photographer and history fan. for many people his history is a very black and white it's an abstract concept that you only learn about in school through the sort of books and things like that but all of a sudden when you see something in color you can relate to it a lot more. this photo archive in the british county of kent is one of jordan thought of inspiration it contains an estimated five million black and white photos gleamed across global history it's a real treasure trove for jordan. only three original print exists for most of the
12:33 am
photos and for some there's only a negative. once jordan chooses an interesting picture to work on he has it digitized by the archive this photo from one nine hundred fifty three years of nelson's column a landmark in london's famous trafalgar square. good images hard lots of recognizable elements so when we're looking at things like buildings and especially when we're looking at older cities like london berlin so forth a lot of these older buildings still remain in some form or they might to be made of the same material the same stone the same brick and so a lot of those elements can be identified again looking at color photography of the time or even paintings actually then just matching it up. sometimes he also has a stroke of luck this bus for instance is a successor model to the bus in the photo and counters like this help him piece together the evidence whenever possible george. likes to gage the original setting
12:34 am
he sure this photo must have been taken here sixty five years ago directly on trafalgar square. finding the right location also helps him recreate the colors. you can usually look at the original photograph and look at the weather conditions and think ok it's a similar weather conditions to where this photo was taken and i'll be looking at things like shadows or be looking at the time of day and this is really helpful when i'm on location because when i get the exact view i can usually tell what time of day it is as well so in this particular project after what's really interesting is that it's taken at midday but in the fog in the small in the pollution is so much that it appears like it's night time. now jordan has to piece the puzzle together with the help of many reference photos he uses them to make his digital palette. colorization is painstaking one of the trickier
12:35 am
pictures can take him several weeks. there are more than a hundred different layers of color in this photo we'll then. when you looking at the reference images the red in the reference image that you might have might not necessarily be the exact same shade of red because you you you put it in and then it doesn't quite look doesn't look quite right with the atmosphere in the background and so therefore you have to then change that shade of red or whatever it needs to be just as the fit but background atmosphere or you might have lighting or something that changes the color because you know color often changes with materials with lighting conditions and so forth jordan has come a rise several hundred shows has its customers include private individuals publishers and museums as well as music labels he's also released a book containing many of his photos replicating the colors exactly the way they
12:36 am
were back then is almost impossible even for him. when you're looking at any photograph. i know you don't know anything about it and point everything is guesswork and the whole point of doing this really deep or very both order call historical research is you want to try and eliminate as much of the guesswork possible and so a good golfer may is if i think i can identify more than ninety percent of the things in that particular photograph or i think i've got it right then it's good enough. george have lloyd isn't trying to rewrite history but to expand upon it with his work he hopes to bring the stories behind the folks back to life. always stay in the past for next report because not college mag and they also made it back in time she went to the words of allegedly oldest rest and there's
12:37 am
a printer the book tina's the k. didn't the status kept the time i get it open and seventeen twenty five tastes changed a lot over the decades so how could a restaurant survive for so many years i went to find out what's so special about it. madrid's famous person lying or squares almost four hundred years old it bore witness to bull fights and trials during the spanish inquisition now though it serves as a popular gathering place so i'm standing on madrid central square plus some mind you are now this place is bustling with activity it's filled with restaurants and cafes and super near shops but what most tourists here do not realize is that just beyond that archway is the world's oldest restaurant so follow me show you where it . has been redefined in around parts of my your many of the corridors and cobblestone streets also date back centuries there are hidden gems working around
12:38 am
every corner but only one holds a very special title. so here we are at the oldest. restaurant in the world so but do you know the team that means the nephew of fourteen and spanish on the teens were the original owners of this establishment words at first with an in with the french couple who started it so let's go inside and see what we discover. the gonzalez family took over the restaurant in the one nine hundred thirty s. now in its third generation antonio gonzales is the managing director family tradition here is keep the decor of the restaurant reflects both the present owners personal touch as well as the original style. in one thousand nine hundred eighty six the guinness book of world records designated protein the oldest restaurant in the world for very specific reasons is that they must be given the same name are you working at the same place i stopped working since the beginning we are

12:40 am
more sure. if these. words are used maybe but since they are arguing time center for the first regions. to drink old buildings. or madrid the first. part of your construction. back up stairs it's time for lunch traditional roast second pig is of course on the menu served by a long time to have your sanchez after forty years of both teen years also become a permanent fixture here he tells me one suckling pig can serve up to five people. one particular guest used to eat here quite regularly and that is the american writer ernest hemingway in fact he like this restaurant so much that he wrote about it in this book the sun also rises and also one of the other books death in the afternoon and tony what do you know about hemingway's time here he was ready for me
12:41 am
to be or to roast beef roast up home he didn't even if you tried to buy one was. no good results then my grandfather told him and i still keep on growing to be myself. i have to read this famous passage from the second to last page of hemingway's book because he mentions exactly this dish he says we lunched upstairs at both teams is one of the best restaurants in the world we had roast young suckling pig and we drink where johan. so in this spirit i guess it's time to raise our glasses and say salute and to the next few hundred years of business. if you think about the saxophone you think about just music right in the eighty's most of the songs that accompanied by the instrument in today's music it's not used that often but now it's
