the evidence. says it's. because just this is about the truth. truth detectives starts june thirtieth w. . everyone and welcome to another edition of the show i'm your host meghan lee from cold feet to kinky music we've got a mixed bag on the show today here's a look at what's coming up. cold as ice riding the waves in iceland freezing water . home away from home visiting in elegant island

retreat in france. and a touch of class take a luxury train ride through the swiss alps. the soccer world cup is well underway in russia and even though germany in the title defenders are out around three and a half a million visitors from all corners of the world are still expected to attend and of course they will want to take home some souvenirs so now is a good time to take stock of how well things are going on the sidelines in terms of merchandising ticket sales or just a small part of the revenue generated from such an event t. shirts whistles and goods with the world cup mascot on them are the real money makers we take a look now at how vendors are fairing at this year's world cup. the world cup's oficial mascot. otherwise known as is up the bulk of which roughly

translates as the one who scores goals it's. about his job is to keep everyone's spirits up and to keep the world cup cash registers ringing. his face appears on caps scarves and all sorts of other world cup memorabilia on sale not just enough air but all over the world. zambia back i might not be the most original mascot but he's the one that suits russia so we award him three balls. and official world cup anthem is supposed to be catchy and motivational. live it up is performed by eric just record from costa rica will smith from the u.s. and. it doesn't have a whole lot to do with the host country russia and it's not exactly storming the

charts so from us it's just two balls i suppose a letter is so two thousand tents in russia the fans have their own way of cheering on the team. they look like salads in fact their traditional russian instruments known as for us and they're the tournaments oprah's really instruments. must there are a lot less annoying when to say less and they're authentic so we give the last goes thankfully i think the world cup lasts a month but the souvenirs were last on. lifetime and tattoos are the most long lasting momentos of all tattoo studios are getting lots of requests for footballs trophies and flags these days. richest can already be felt every day all

foreigners shows up that's what so but who doesn't end up regretting the tattoo we're skeptical so world cup tattoos get just two balls from i. just think of russia used to think of. but this bar and it got to remember one of the tournaments host cities serves world cup beer specially brewed for the matches being played there like the peru france game. it's made in the local brewery to a soundtrack of football anthems secure as world cup bid from twenty ten for example. take. them back it was. shallow whatever music is played whether it's classics rock or contemporary r. and b. whatever it is that energy is transferred into the water and gives the beer a certain character so my beer gets the character of whatever music we were playing

. beer with character and inspired idea fans love it and we do too so we give it four ball i. well one of pop's longest running feuds appears to be over. the front man of the king announced that the band would be reuniting for the first time in more than twenty years. now over the years the band chalked up a slight you really got me and lola. there he's also said the group is making a new kinks album. so we'll be keeping our eye out for that meanwhile another music legend must now be referred to as sir more on that coming up at the top of today's express.

tuesday so the former front man of the bee gees' diary can't receive a knighthood as buckingham palace for his services to music and charity. now seventy one he formed to be jesus in nine hundred fifty s. with his late brothers maurice and robin and stormed the charts with hits such as how deep is your love and stayin alive. barry gave received the award from prince charles and may now call himself such a. before and after a five hundred year old sculpture of st george and the john of a star in northern spain has been ruined by a bunch dressed aeration attempts by a local hard teacher. it's not the first incident over its kind in twenty twelve there was a similarly disastrous restoration of the homo mural in for joe klein a pensioner who left christ looking disfigured. but the botched restoration has

become a tourist magnets so maybe as done there will soon be a popular destination to. the looming titan amram has attracted large numbers of horticultural fans to shotguns betime nickel guns and bill halley mina to sell them occurrence not took place seven years ago native she was to munch on the titan iram can grow to a height of almost three metres in the week's news to gather enough energy to fly one just for a few alice. it's milton's carrying a stench which attracts pollinating insects. hagar logan and is iceland's first professional surfer now he's mastered his country's fares waves under extreme conditions and by that i mean in extremely cold water sometimes the surfer can't even feel his feet when he hits the waves but his

passion for the sport keeps him going. ah ha. our only two. nights linda is about as well known for surfing as thailand is for skiing and yet the land of fire and ice is a hot tub among surface for those who've served all the world's best spots this one off is something new it's the home to us iceland's best and only professional surfer pace our loyalty ennius on it's very hard to get started in surfing you actually because there's no surf shops and the forecast this really hard to breathe and the waves that come into our eyes and are usually really big and heavy because there's a lot of open ocean the circumstances might not be ideal for beginners but if you really want to start surfing then then you'll just find your type.

during winter within a couple minutes or half an hour an hour you're going to loose all the fields near toes in your hands and your feet are going to feel like blocks of ice but sometimes if you just divide it into like two ways so you either get out and you get warm or you keep surfing and you're still cold but if if if you'd rather keep surfing and still be cold then get out and get warm enough of course you just keep surfing so it's just a matter of what you want to you know how how you're how strong your colleagues. the cool of the waves is strong it was featured in a twenty minute film an icelandic surface called the a cool. though he and his friends playfully evolves. the consequence of assessing the twenty five year old practices in. the slow moving passive yoga technique helps them find him

second residence. when are you going to. into the kitchen which is not quite the right word because it's actually part of the living room. so this is where the action is and everyone in the house can take. well the kitchen is completely open and very low key is a nice cut. from the kitchen it's just a few steps to the staircase leading to the master bedroom. now we're in our bedroom. which was conceived in the same way a living room. where the white and sparsely furnished school. would try to create a feeling of space. despite the limitations of the house. and the climate and believe it is always mild creating

a cozy atmosphere inside the house. for no has an office on the second floor where he often retires to work on his latest projects. on the floor boards why do we always have to work. even when we're here atop a cation home as an architect you always have projects and sometimes you have a bit of distance and can relax you look at the job done better than you would under different circumstances would you still through the. skylight or build throughout the a frame house giving it not just the feeling of openness but also generating light and heat. this holiday home is located about a kilometer from the atlantic ocean tranquil landscape is great for walks and a perfect place to escape the hectic house on bustle of life in the french capital . at the back of the house there's
