in style. and handyman patrick can is a sport stacking the world champion. we start today show with the largest art event this year in the u.k. the great exhibition of the north now over the next eighty days the northern english cities of newcastle and gateshead will host exhibitions and live performances highlights include a special eighty meter water sculpture while we checked out some of the attractions that await visitors. damien hirst's shop preserved in four mile high and john lennon's last piano objects associated with two artists who stand for the north of england in the city of newcastle and its neighboring town of gateshead the art of culture from the region is being celebrated in the great

exhibition of the north it's a combination of concept i'm street festival. the idea is to hold in one thousand day celebration reading showcasing the very best of more than design and innovation to actually show the world the contribution that the north and northerners has made in terms of some fantastic work yes in the past more important what's going on today and into the future. connected by seven bridges across the river tanu counselling gateshead also share a common history as an industrial location this was the birthplace of stevenson's rockets and the world's fastest steam locomotive in eighteen twenty nine another british i call him connected with newcastle is charles oh gray the former prime minister also gave his name to great t. one more of the region's famous sons his pop star sting. indie band the maximo park also hails from newcastle they

composed this song which acts as the soundtrack for a water sculpture especially for the festival. i think it's fantastic. newcastle i really do it we timmy good think that side of the. the tower has been dead and now with electric and the people want to call me you know it's off chance to show a new castle up to the to the world i think the north east identity especially kind of gets a bit of a reputation for levy ness and maybe a little bit wild but actually that's to suggest deep scene about music around here that i think maybe doesn't get praised as much as. the great exhibition of the north is also a festival that invites visitors to take an active top ten professional dances dispersed around the city help get people up and moving on to the main station folks can get in the band. chris sharkey has formed

a group specifically for the occasion many members had never performed before some don't even plan instruments the. locals also become part of the art it's a good idea of getting together a bunch of people around an idea i know over the course of the quite a short period of time building something completely unique that has spirit and labor people in the area you know so something that's gone like this it's intrinsically norbit. another way to experience out in the city is to embark on a sound journey called feelings participants pick up headphones and listen to music while walking along the banks of the tiny sensors recognize their location. and the music reflects their surroundings monson green composed

a full the piece. if you want to hear this piece of music you have to put on the headphones and you have to walk past all the ports is the only way you can bust a day a record. so that makes it different it makes it a calling to lloyd experience. altogether some eighty exhibitions of installations spread around the region trying to convey an idea of what the north of england is like and most free of charge which. the north is and is a launch area is a very diverse area and what we try to capture day to through the exhibition is actually some of those questions what does it mean to be an old wages will start. you know the meaning of all we're not here to answer that question we're here to also the question and see how people respond to it. to formulate your own response

just follow the festival slogan and get north the full the end of the song. and staying on the subject of our british graffiti artist banksy seems to be making his mark on the french capital several works attributed to him keep popping up in unexpected places more on that at the top of today's express. a piece of graffiti discovered in paris on monday is thought to be the work of the serious british street artist banksy it depicts a white hooded figure at the emergency exit of the product line that in two thousand and fifteen became a target in a series of terrorist attacks in paris. it's not yet been confirmed as a banksy but experts say it's likely the work is one of six pieces that emerged in paris over the weekend and have been attributed to the artist.

twenty first. singer solaire has established himself in the pop scene in recent years and can now compete with such greats like a ricky and luis funk state now with his summer hit sofia so lehrer stormed the charts in several european countries his current single last into also has the potential to reach the charts well we met up with him at his recording studio here in berlin to hear about his successful career so far. down the go. busking is something i can no longer do in switzerland spain or italy without being recognized but he can in berlin from now on the. down the road be that on this going i don't know if i learn though. this is the. moment i can keep to myself

it's as if nothing had ever happened and i'm still just me this is what has happened is this song for example. in twenty six teams sophia one alberto solaire twelve platinum discs and cemented his breakthrough. he's been living in berlin since twenty fifteen right now his brother is visiting. going to a german father and a spanish mother he had always been captivated by his grandmother's piano he started playing when he was ten. when his family moved from barcelona to tokyo that also had a huge impact on his music. about how we all enjoy and i think i was able to overcome my fear of singing competition

because karaoke is so commonplace that i count on in europe sixteen year olds my go to clubs there they go and sing karaoke for five for one of coca from karaoke to international stardom the twenty seven year old also gathers inspiration on his frequent travels. but in mexico i was in mexico this mini flu and i kind of wherever i go i'm a big fan of bringing back an instrument something local in colombia i boarded easier kind of flew i've always liked visiting places and bringing home instruments i've never seen before and it's going to be like i just can't. in his songs he also talks about himself. or the waste is the first single off his second upcoming album. the lyrics relate however or just can't do the one thing you'd expect of any self

respecting spaniard to dance. that he this is the dance of why can't we talk about insecurities because so many people have so many insecurities yes it was you know we need a reality check and i thought it was good to joke about myself and say hey everybody i can't move my head. and everybody expects me to because i make spanish music by with my but i can't and that's fine because it's. in the video of those dances just fine but it took a lot of practice. became another hit in various countries around europe but all of it was a layer hasn't let it go to his head. you. will get this info as often does spend time with make something big difference it's easy to get into unfamiliar

situations where you wouldn't even realize you're acting weird then you need somebody else to say that wasn't cool that's not like you or why did you do. that simple you know. this is fun to have it to feel like i won the one. over there celera. can't play for us on berlin streets more off. to the real this is. in our series this week all aboard we are exploring europe by train and today our journey takes us on part of the trans siberian route from yucca tandberg to moscow for those who like to combine culture with current events the route it takes passengers to the locations where some of the world cup soccer matches are currently being played so there is yet another reason to hop on board while the sars gold is a throwback to the soviet era but even after all these years a ride on it is still quite an adventure.

yeah katherine book is russia's fourth largest city it's near the birthplace of former president boris yeltsin and where the in the curial romanov family was murdered in one thousand nine hundred eighteen the passengers aboard the sars gold train celebrate their arrival in europe recovering book lies right on the border between europe and asia. over ten days and nights they traveled all the way from beijing through the mongolian manchurian grassland and the city of tour passed by color and the siberian cities of your quotes and novosibirsk until they arrived here in your country book. though not big the compartments are certainly plush a leftover from the soviet era when only high ranking party officials were allowed to travel on it. now patron and axle off from hamburg get to enjoy this modest luxury they've already seen

a lot on their journey and are happy to call the train home now but to. get. out of even though i'm going to be told i'm going. to get trained for a five star luxury in your shouldn't expect a journey like this it's comfortable being off this flight time after two days you're used to it and you sleep well you joke about how when you're headed down the hallway to the restaurant car the whole train sways but it's funny. there are many different nationalities aboard the train. and this is my first. pride of. my dream. the trans-siberian fascinates people the world over with perhaps one exception. we travel through russia most of the route but there. there aren't a lot of russians here to translate period railway has

a different meaning for them it's called siberia's lifeline but more in the sense that it's simply a form of transportation. the trans iberian train links moscow to vladivostok in russia's far east it was constructed in the late one nine hundred century to transport wood or and other resources from industrially underdeveloped siberia in the west it was built bit by bit and completed in one thousand nine hundred sixteen. the route stretches over many different time zones often to a guy ditmar a but has to remind passengers to adjust their watches and clocks to get over. the surface of it will be passing through two time zones tonight so please remember to turn back your clocks by two hours. this time by traveling west on the trans siberian train gains passengers five hours that doesn't sound like much but jet lag is inevitable. but there's certainly lots of time to enjoy the journey but why

travel all this distance by train when flying would be much faster. thank you miss so much when you're on a plane and you don't get to interact culture quite as midas the train seems that way where you can view it as close to the culture as possible as opposed to the people at one in either place and still see is there life as possible. this is the capital of the autonomy republic of tatarstan for centuries muslims christians and jews tartars and russians have lived here peacefully side by side as the city's impressive architecture shows. in the afternoon young students from cousins music school give a surprise concert for the passengers. the

school is famous throughout russia and has produced some world class talents high culture meats down to earth russian food the trains three restaurants serve a lot of fish but also meat potatoes and vegetables the atmosphere is very laid back. i know it's great you don't have to worry about a thing everything runs smoothly it's so well organized yet. i think it will take many beautiful memories with us and we've met some great people it was worth it to all. the last leg of the journey is across central russia after covering some eight thousand kilometers the train reaches its final destination here passengers get to take in the sights of the russian capital moscow. the end you will meeting of the you nest goes the world heritage committee has opened and back again and in addition to natural heritage and cultural sites there's also

a distinction for intangible cultural heritage now for our high five we've put together a few german traditions that have made that list so here are. the five german traditions you probably didn't know belong to our cultural heritage. and creators walked through the forest and little red riding-hood seen counter with the big bad wolf german theory tales are known the world over before the brothers grimm began writing them down in the nineteenth century were passed on by word of mouth or fifth place goes to fairy tales telling them is still a popular pastime and terminal there are said to foster the imagination and not just in children. they help bring new life into the world and witness little miracles every day. with three years

important is not only in germany of course but here it became part of our cultural heritage and twenty sixteen we give it fourth place this priceless knowledge has been passed on from one generation to the next in special schools making sure healthy babies will continue to come into the world. a battle of words each contestant has just a few minutes to make an impression with their texts before the audience votes although poetry slams originated in the united states they're very popular in germany as well and we give them third place on our list of in a tangible german cultural heritage. site. after all poets and singers have engaged in verbal dunes here since the middle ages . the british aren't the only europeans with the tea culture in

northern germany the east friesian are equally fond of the borough our second place goes to east for asian tea culture the tea is always made with proper tea leaves then poor over a piece of rock candy. the final a cream is poured into the tea to form a cloud. east region tea culture. you shouldn't have loved this card game for more than two hundred years you need three players thirty two cards and a thick skin because scott is taken extremely seriously and has very strict rules as to have originated between eighteen ten and eighteen twenty in the town of. nowadays it's part of german club culture and our number one in the high five. the man in our next report. it is a record holder when it comes to placing objects on top of each other patrick

cameron is a master stacker with a razor sharp concentration and priss and he's perfected the skill of stacking cubes of cups at lightning speed you can regularly take part in such tournaments and is also develop some new tricks so let's see how he does it. his hands are his capital. dexterity and precision are his biggest strengths. when patrick can get his hands on something your eyes can barely keep up with him. if you might just in my nature when i touch something or encounter something new no matter what the sport i'm really ambitious and have to try it out. and then i have to be the best that. one of his favorite disciplines is solving the rubik's cube

with fifty four squares in six colors the rubik's cube has countless possible configurations but karen can solve the puzzle in just thirteen seconds even blindfolded he can do it in two and a half minutes. in twenty seventeen he broke the world record for underwater speed cubing stopping six rubik's cubes in just two minutes. i do it are building up the rubik's cube led by led us the first the lower left. then the middle left and then the board for you every step there's a sequence of the moves which you can memorize or look up on the internet so you can learn to do this within an hour. without. as if winning a speed cubing world record weren't enough karen is also a four time world champion in sports stacking stacking cuffs on top of one another job out of it four time world champion it's too much. can trains with a sports stacking team in his hometown of quick born near home book these cup

stackers won thirty four medals at this year's world championship to be a top sports tracker requires good coordination and speed. was the you just can't stop training you always want to top your own try and fight off. the training improves concentration when you're whole in. as germany's fastest female speed stacker and one of the world's best she says the sport has also improved her performance in school. finally settling into a sport stacking helps me concentrate better my grades in german in math improved greatly it's time to. cut so i know it's not they make it look easy but it's extremely tiring and i think this whole stacking is exhausting both mentally and physically mentally because you have to concentrate on one thing for minutes or hours that starring a generating work up a sweat karan is an expert at knowing how things stack up he stacks dice says well

as cups he says dice stacking is no magic trick it's a question of physics. to get these dice into the cups and swing them up here you need to create a centrifugal force with a cocked hat and i move over the top when i do it with the second third and fourth dice they fall in the towel then i just have to put it down well and i've got a towel and i'm twisted. patrick can keep developing new tricks and that's hard work here he balances a stack of sixteen dice separated by three playing cards though when he tries to flick the cards away thanks fall apart. but practice makes perfect.

i could do that or that we've come to the end of the show before we go i want to let you in on this week's draw for an exclusive goodie bag of euro max souvenirs now euro max is turning fifteen and for this occasion we would like to know how you watch the program on t.v. or on your mobile device just go to our website and let us know and by doing so you qualify to win that bag of your own max goodies so now we're out of time for me and the rest of the crew here as always thanks for tuning in we're seeing again tomorrow. the. next time on your a. song is iceland's first professional some. of the country's fierce way of old comic island is a home office today with no emphasis on the hall and we all saw him come fairly feel his feet in these icy waters but that doesn't deter suffering in iceland next
