the media. joins a discussion and have you one thing. going to balance global media form twenty eighteen the planks made from on. every journey begins with the first step and every language with the first word put beneath. rico is in germany to learn german why not learn it it's simple online on your mobile and free shops d w z e learning course you can speak german meetings. well come to the show before we get started let's have a quick look at what's coming up. the attic i write these the nations have a story to tell. serry take hold this

is a large office on concert. and breathtaking views a very special climb in the mountains of norway. maybe you know that it's so difficult to thread a needle in but it's nothing compared to the works by claire morton she threats thousands of then the line seeds for example and also bits of plastic on a fact which is several metres long so that you definitely need a very calm hand the internet's not be executed artists from northern ireland accepted this for hours on end to create just one off the all some suspended pieces . claire morgan likes her work to be somewhere between still moving natural and unnatural life and death are suspended sculptures are made from

a mix of natural and synthetic materials and give the illusion of floating in mid-air. the artist from northern ireland creates or hiding pieces in her studio in gateshead just outside newcastle upon tyne in the u.k. . most of my sculpture work is suspended from my own thread and yet i'm working my face and identical or similar components like seeds or flies or pieces of plastic and assembling them on the threads to give the illusion of something that is solid more often than not a geometric form something that feels solid and strong visually but actually it's just made from of pieces of very fragile stuff aren't actually connected to each other that could very easily be destroyed. close work is quite labor intensive often taking many weeks to assemble she is

a team of assistance to help her collect the material. she recently created a seventeen metre high in wales addressing a controversial yet historical practice in the u.k. . elephant in the room was a commission for the seventeenth city of culture and work in a particular space which was the shopping center which is located over the. docks where wheeling ships would have come in originally. and and also something that related to the history of. thousands of bits of paper and thread she approached a topic which might otherwise not have been talked about the way i'll talk about five days to assemble the wood a project of this scale it's hard. to get a perfect the first time. actually i made a mistake in one of the measurements and that meant that i had to go back and alter the lengths of quite a lot of threads so their. assistants who were

helping me install it and. went away every day i'm left for me to sit and not. remember with my preference of to try and cut. in addition to a large paper creatures clear uses the craft of tuxedo me to illustrate both the contrast and connection between humans in the natural world. whenever our colors are started working with organic material for me animals that are already dead are just another organic material on their own that has particular significance or because we're animals and so there's a an immediate point of connection and the work between us and other beings. the artist often finds inspiration in newcastle where she works and lives the city

on the time river offers her the perfect combination of natural and manmade. or lower i guess we have from organic materials i'm most interested in the places where. the chair and it meets the environments that we've created so i'm really interested in cities. and ways that the chair and there for people back in. one example of nature the creeps since were workers looking on the nearby time bridge to the wake of the new ones to others before claire morgan musing inspiration they can't even tell us this is their seabirds and this is the most point where they last anywhere in the world a thing that. they fly a lawyer to the scene every day. to get food to bring back to the fighting and i just really love the way the birds are kind of sticking their finger

a strand make the place kind of controlled and shiny and. they are sort of. being reclaiming it. creates are pieces to explore themes of life time and permanence claire morgan hopes the viewers of our arts will draw their own conclusions we consider these important themes for themselves. and we continue with important topics in today's express all the cultural events in europe starts in london with a very special new museum. a new exhibition space has been created in westminster abbey in london the arcade are above the name even offers a fabulous view of the interior a new external access tower has also been built. the queen's diamond jubilee

gallery says the space is now across will display three hundred treasures from the obvious connection including the oldest surviving altarpiece in britain which dates from the thirteenth century. the galleries opened to the public on june eleventh. to fans exhibits full of buildings new humboldt forum has been delivered to a bent from the army out that dates from eighteen nineteen the humbled forum will be housed in the pit in palace a new building still under construction on the site of the old royal residence it will showcase none european cultural artifacts. it will be about presenting different cultures and demo. straining that more connects people around the world than divides them and so it's kind of. the thing is possibly collection of the ecological museum which is moving from the seventy's into the new

building in the heart of the city. the humble forum it's time to open late next year. on the italian island of sardinia in the mediterranean the muslim tonnages nature reserve is celebrating its twenty fifth anniversary of a special event the moment the first pink flamingo laid her eggs in the waters of one of its primes. the reserve in the capital of cardiology is now home to europe's largest colony of flamingoes as well as representatives of one hundred fifty other bird species from ingo's are thriving on sardinia and can be found nowadays and their guns across the yard. in alice eve is your next locks show you a new issue

a living concepts from all over europe this definitely includes. he lives in the real cost of this all the fourteenth century the impressive building is ok to me of being on song seventy kilometers west of it however i live there is not only quite extraordinary but also involves a lot of work but it's worth it. this console overlooking the river rhine is the home of marcus hatch and every day life and maybe fun food simple but he wouldn't want to live anywhere else to get anything bulky up to. ninety meters above the riverbank he has to crank up his and little train. my company with him all day and if you can't get to the castle by car so we've had to resort to other means to get stuff up here a little monorail of those the job very well. hang shine has been has his home in

the full decades. it's also open to the public and can be rented for parties that helps pay the bills . it's wonderful living here but it's also very challenging. it takes hard work to keep it all running and the big lord of the castle is not you know i might imagine if this works sometimes it's more like being a slave of the castle and master of all you see but doomed to heavy labor on the buildings of the grounds. in this design business there's a not to maintain. stained glass windows some dating back to the fourteenth century and less touch ups and moldings antique furniture the knights all in this part of the area open to the public. how does if you expect to feel tremendous respect for

the castle which holds in its history. but it's not where i want to live and i like more lights and not so much heavy dark. tree our shores to cut the fourteenth century castle may be grand and glorious but it remains an inhabitant you're born. this is where we actually live on this side of the building used to be where the servants were housed when we've turned it into a modern comfortable family home. in technical terms that was easiest to do here we had built in kitchen and a cozy living room certainly more suited to everyday life than the nights home. his wife cornelia likes had to call martin into the living room is bright and welcoming many people don't realize that we live like regular twenty first century people. but we need that as

a counterbalance to the dark and heavy and overbearing castle. at our private space has to be light and airy. but how come the head has only cost in the first place. dear husband's one fatah play my father he bought of the nine hundred seventy five it was in a terrible state some religious cult wanted it and he has the idea they might settle here with their guru which in this piece of old germany on the rhine i was a very emotional person and said we'll manage somehow from the family was not so enthusiastic certainly had my doubts for me. to work for. both the planes for the equivalent of about one hundred fifty thousand yards with sixteen at the time. renovation was a complex task and expensive it cost many and missed much grants on some of these covered two thirds of the costs maintenance divan was one hundred fifty thousand euros a year still. likes to say this is why he wants to live out his danes is eye line

of being alone appears fabulous if on some evening they decide to say reading a painting you can get out when you drill eleven pm and no neighbors are going to fly into a rage. these days. but. that's because the closest neighbor lives two and a half kilometers away so the haitians have enough space to do what ever they feel like. the price for all that freedom is plenty of physical exertion it stands a numerous i'm still in spite of all the difficulties his family enjoy being keepers off the castle. and if you want to see that video again or other interesting reports from our series your next locks just go to our huge ships and the new interior design.

interior design at its best check out how you choose channel v.w. interior design stunning design ideas spectacular buildings and see i want you to. on the home decoration we'll take you inside the most beautiful european home with show you the latest in fenech chaffed fabrics and accessories subscribe and don't miss out on you tube. together really fantastic view over and also landscape we're off to norway now to go hiking and climb being the top tuner in the south of the country is one of the most impressive cliffs in europe so well this two of the participants need to be pretty good shape and have a head for heights. the isolated mountain regions of southwest norway a land of huge waterfalls deep fjords and high peaks it's views like these that

motivate some adventurers to put all their energy into climbing these cliffs. fourteen mountaineers are here with one goal a dizzying rock formation known as the troll tumble or troll. like a giant tongue this rocky outcrop juts out into the canyon separating the group from their destination is a seven hundred metre rock wall. challenge to get people safely back home i got a chance to see through that everybody. so coming down again this group is without interest and it's been a good day and. a good day. for some this is their first climb. up and breathe deeply and slowly that's how you overcome your fears. i think.

you should group has already managed the first three hundred metres it's taken them three hours and it's put their leg muscles to the test but the real work is still ahead. of. the next part is called to him or stairway to heaven a fitting name to climb takes them a few hundred metres up a vertical cliff harnish is an absolute must hear thanks long. run and. this would just follow you when you're looking up not when you come higher up if i have a fool no i didn't hold on to this. and then this length. someone between me over here so we need to go to post this news when we're going up. those who thought the troll timber trip would be an easy climb will learn the truth but it's too late

to turn back now all you can do is grin and bear it. isn't we've more or less reached our limited view that we have from the city not exactly used to high altitudes i'm not that fit but i'm giving it everything i've got. just a few more metres and the hours of arduous rock climbing will be over. but for some the real test will be the path to the edge of the cliff. it's a seven hundred metre drop from the troll tongue to the reservoir down below there

are no safety barriers here in our regions rely on common sense. we have had a bollywood movie might have escaped with bassett in india saying and we had also a japanese traveler program a person on a jumping stake jumping around a trawl that was placed haul for me to from the edge of the tongue that was not good. but these visitors won't be trying anything like that just the view from here is enough of an adrenaline rush. i recommended do what you resolve to do though it's terrifying that doesn't matter i've managed and now i have a story to tell just like the entire group. there's maybe to the top and is ready for the ultimate test to see whether trolled under control them or.

oh my god will be hiking to for me to be honest that cliff looks like it could snap over at any moment well after all that excitement in the mountains it's time to come back down to earth and deeper and the ground because our next stop is the will to beat in western germany that's the sons of home for me because before i moved to berlin a lift in thought once for a long time decades of coal mining have had a strong impact on the cities in this area especially now that most of the mines have already closed the last mine in germany will follow this year the mining of black gold as they say there is not only count but. this is shown by the counted submission constant cold or i and cold which is taking place in thirteen cities in the whole area. in its five hundred year existence that

a castle in the german city of helmand has been through a lot but never before has it been the center of an art project. an artist ybor he mamma with the help of volunteers to sew together two thousand square meters of cloth from old socks. and then drape the material over the castle it remained like that for four months the grimy fabric symbolizes life struggles. what about the things that are very uncomfortable that millions of people and billions of people have to endure the whole lives but of course we might find ourselves in the states where. we don't have to go through those same problems but it doesn't mean they don't exist. installation is part of the art and cole exhibition project seventeen different museums across the rouer region are showcasing art works inspired by coalmining.

fatting on board and it's the project a formidable challenge for the art professor and to writer. quarterback by participating in the art and call exhibition project the museums are expressing their regional identity or showing in what sense they're connected to the regency north of course their activities are not limited to the area on the contrary or in some of the museums know their local roots to do good and they make it clear that their art is inspired by this particular german region with you take you by it's a booming industrial crowd stand by its gradual decline lighted on. the british artist david nash's imposing wooden sculptures allude to this period they're on display in the defunct factory building of a former mining equipment. maker national self lives and works in

a former mining region in wales he works with wood that was originally used to build railway lines underground. taught farming. he cuts shapes out of wood using a chain saw and scorches the surface. with his work deals with mining and the passing of time on which time as well into our exhibition project. in my course outside the one thing. free shuttle buses bring visitors from one exhibition to the next for instance to the machinations museum in britain. here photographs by alexander chignon if show ukrainian miners in the dun bass region these mines are considered extremely dangerous and accidents are common.

conditions here are similar to what germany's ruhr mines were once like. change of scenery here at the art museum and both artist and glass kalinski is showcasing pieces inspired by sub to rein in objects the very minute went on in the world beneath our feet is very impressive and the tunnels there are rumors you can walk all the way from essen to dog not to long galleries in the minors. even as a kid i had this feeling i imagined things emerging from the ground it's. also important that sort of thing is always fascinated right. next stop use the m fog in essen it shows etchings and photographs of industrial landscapes and how they changed over the course of the past century.

and finally back to shrink a castle maybe the burlap sacks from across the world are a statement about global influences affecting germany's rural area today. you want to know what do we want from the future what are we getting from coal mining and what kind of new thinking should we be pursuing for example in terms of international trade and to include. the rural regions art and called project brings together seventeen exhibitions in thirteen different locations and opportunity to discover the areas past and explore its future. the exhibition will run until september i'll definitely stop by when i visit family and friends there the stops can be easily reached by bike nice to in the summer perhaps what do you like to do when the sun is shining that's exactly what we want to know this week we asked you to send us a picture showing you are doing your favorite thing in the summer and some
