seven thousand kilos of paint. i tried to make it look from a distance as though the colors were blending together into gold. but i think i wanted to make the visitors feel like royalty. that was the feeling i wanted to win spine. the flower displays need daily care and most importantly lots of water. just nearby florist my head is pepin is making sure her arrangement in the cathedral cluster is still perfect. it's made up of over four thousand flowers and took her and her crew three days to put in place. i feel that the young lady think that it is thirty degrees hot it's very hard to keep the flowers looking fresh and signatories pointed out why we

step. these days it's all much more professional. with sponsorship to the tune of four hundred fifty thousand euros it's a big business for jarana. every year the track some two hundred fifty thousand visitors from around the world. and of course it's a fabulous photo opportunity. sometimes though visitors can get a little too hands on i kinda get requests he said there's always someone who wants to see if he arranged. mints are actually real of course we don't use a single artificial flower they're all real but some people can't believe it and insist on squeezing the petals to find out that they're just interested but of course it's pretty annoying for all of the people who did the work and became much the treatment that. jordy designed the arrangement of the arab bad. he went to the

granada in search of inspiration. to get some ideas for our project. we like told the water features that. and the use of very fragrant blossoms but that's not all by the goes. display is a tribute to spain's famous landmark it's attractive to all people whether they see themselves as catalan or spanish the flower first of all unites them even in these politically difficult times and many people will return again next year to take in the beautiful flower displays of their own. art experts claim that dutch painter rembrandt produced well over six hundred paintings now while most of them are in museums some works are still popping up in unexpected places that plus friday where kerry comes back to life on the silver screen more on those stories

a brand. it's as much a business as anything else you know it's prince philip who refers to it as the so how is michael muckle going to make a mock she is going to carve her role as a philanthropist there's been lots of tools that she seeks to emulate princess diana and possibly we will see her carry on as harry does diana's humanitarian work . americans public appearances are certainly bringing business to the fashion industry as well just like her future sister in law catherine duchess of cambridge megan is revered as a fashion icon and the outfit she wears to public occasions completely sells out overnight and that's probably not going to change anytime soon is. another person who wields a quite a bit of influence as the twenty one year old food blogger lame out facts are she's got some seventy thousand followers on instagram thanks to her colorful dishes now

obviously she tries out new recipes off line. she also enjoys tracking down the. close to where she lives let's help ourselves but he's otherwise throughout. because i prefer these gnarly carrots i like how they look and they actually taste better you wouldn't find them in a shop because they're wonky you can only find them on a farm they're perfect fish. like the car juice she uses plain as recipes are unconventional when you follow a strict t.v. can diet you need to be creative. and the silly inventive. today she's revamping the good old pizza. instead of the old school calorie fest. cheese she's making a carrot crust. they know has been vegetarian for years when she found out that

fair treatment in the film industry has become a major topic of discussion since the need to movement began so here's a look back now at how the week has been at one of the world's most glamorous film festivals. the cannes film festival is as much about the red carpet as the films with star turns from jury president cate blanchett and the star of the opening movie penelope cruz it's an event that puts women center stage. this year against the backdrop of the need to movement eighty two women took advantage of the limelight to take a symbolic walk along the red carpet in a protest for equal rights and against gender discrimination in the film industry. i hope that this will be the beginning of the change these are the beginning of the end a follower of things that were not fair for for women everywhere around the world and in. almost every industry. this is the first cannes film festival since the allegations of sexual abuse were made against hollywood producer harvey weinstein

he was conspicuous in his absence which made for a very different mood according to scott roxboro european editor for the hollywood reporter used to rule this out i mean harvey weinstein was the king of cam and now he's gone and it doesn't look like another thing is going to take its place it looks like maybe it will be a number of queens that will take their place supermodel naomi campbell hosted a star studded fundraising gala the thing was race to equality with proceeds going to initiatives devoted to improving education health and culture but it might take a while to make this traditional festival truly socially aware. even though this year is supposed to be a celebration of female directors and so forth they've brought in a lot of very old school male directors. the vendors is also here but in some ways these men represent a type of cinema that i think sam would like to go back to that maybe like to go back to the night and seventy's where it was all about the pure o'toole in the end

to go down the eighty seven year old pioneer of the french new wave movement only made a press conference appearance via cell phone but his latest film the image. which premiered in the competition shows he still is experimental as ever. then vendors showed his latest work out of competition a documentary about pope francis disappointingly perhaps the pontiff didn't accompany the director on the red carpet. this spent a year following pope francis closely and made some unexpected discoveries. and children bring headaches. pretty rock'n'roll and what he does and brave is also very easygoing. as a very youthful joy that shines through. and he's even a bit mischievous or know how to push mixes. amid much fanfare the

latest installment in the star wars franchise solo a star wars story celebrated its premiere. and the. great. it was the only major hollywood studio production and can this year it's screen out of competition. but it was another u.s. movie that got people talking in black klansmen spike lee tells the story of a black cop who infiltrates the ku klux klan. a chance of winning the door here spike lee has been canned in many many years and way way back he was here with do the right thing which in my opinion should have won the palme d'or it didn't invent this was prez of the jury did not give the spike lee it's likely still hates him for it he said if he ever sees the inventor's will come out with

a baseball bat spike lee appeared on the red carpet sporting knuckle dusters reading the words love and hate. can might have got a bit political this year but good intentions. also need to translate into action it's time there were more women directors competing for the awards this year just three of the twenty one films in competition are female directed that needs to change time is definitely. and certainly with that we wrap up another show so don't forget to check out our website for more on the program or of course follow us on social media for me and the rest of us aromatics as always thanks for joining. us. on the next edition of your all next we catch up with the one and only. thirty five
