being on ahead with the festival in bonn. delightful dogs our three legged pomeranian became an instagram stock. and precious porcelain a number of international artists exhibit that tronic aeration spinmeister. well we start rolling with the real highlights for film fans especially for those who favor the genre of action comedy two of the dramas biggest star was with the actors but spencer terrence hill and every year fans from all over europe gather in germany to celebrate their contributions at the spencer hill festival despite the american aliases they actually hail from italy and their real names are carlo petter soli and mario. this year the festival is being held in saxony in the town of la much which has a special link to one of the jews. mostly they keep their cool.

but if things get critical. they leave behind a trail of destruction. the dynamic duo of action comedy but spencer and terrence hill. they shot to fame in an age when much he's moas still celebrated unreservedly on the silver screen this scene from bomber is a real hit at the spencer hill festival. around three thousand fans have come to love watching sex need to celebrate the lives and work of their heroes both have a cult following us spencer who died more than two years ago and sonny boy hill is now seventy nine. but spencer even has a double gang or two that's the way he loves spaghetti just like me and like both

of them were involved in sports at a high level and i was also a swimmer at a club in dresden this is me that's why i just large bud spencer i have this awkward dynamic teardrop shape and of course and this tops it all he died on my birthday you book your own twenty seven dollars because. there are also a few terence hill lookalikes in law much this group. the alps from italy to attend the event. many fans remember the films from their childhood so what's so great about them. they will find but no one died you can watch the films with anyone who is really cool punch loads. and why does the festival take place in the sleepy little town of la much. bigger because terrence hill spent his childhood him work in a house that's still standing with an italian father and a german mother. mr blue eyes is actually called lived here for a few years in the one nine hundred forty s.

a charmer even as a child. now almost eighty he still is not long ago hill was in reston for a new film. called i can honestly say. i'm a saxophone full stop. unfortunately he couldn't make it to the festival but of course he's here in spirit just. like for this high wire scene. at my school. and the legend doesn't stop with too much oh protagonists record of that sooty has been surrounded by fans since he arrived he sometimes played the villain in their films the work was great he says especially with spencer. but it was a fantastic time. and the thing i really treasure the most is that bud spencer

wasn't just a colleague but also a friend. your a lot of guys i know were jealous of rock that. was more reticent more reserved the . right answer but this this barcode with your attitude is. not. just like the films most of the time the duo is fighting the good fight and always with a twinkle in their eyes but they don't seem to have impressed very many women you have to look hard to find them here. but i laugh at the films too and i don't think their guy movies but at the festivals you notice out of the threads out which is mostly good the funny thing is these festivals are the only ones where women don't have to wait in line for the loo and. maybe spencer hill films are a man's world. but costumes are fun for everyone. and

every fan enjoys a festival highlight the singing of the bud spencer heart choir. the best part everyone knows the tomb. and exactly which film it came from. time now to travel around the continent to get you up to date with all the latest goings on in europe and today's express we travel to italy and france but we start in germany and visit a blooming trade show. the world's largest garden trite fan is taking place this week in cologne around two thousand exhibitors from sixty countries are showcasing the latest trends for green

thumbs. given to sorted by topics from outdoor furniture. to cotton design and maintenance to gome a barbecues and equipment judging by this year's showcase is another trend is the fully networked smart cotton. every year on the first weekend in september the city of leo in northern france temporarily transforms into the world capital for n.t. the brother redeliver is europe's biggest flea market a treasure trove of period furniture vintage dresses vinyl records and retro toys it draws about two million visitors a year. at antiques and collectibles shop in south africa and we faced a divided on the internet the bad that he and we decided to come over the first time last year we found some levee stuff so this year we back. if all the stalls were lined up the flea market would stretch for one hundred kilometers.

it also gets busy on the first weekend in september on sardinia that's when the barefoot run starts in the town of congress or to stand up and seven kilometers away and sun so retorted you see news around nine hundred men take part headed by someone carrying a wooden statue of sons of retorting legend has it that in the early seventeenth century when marauding morris pirates landed in cabra us locals raced to protect the. statue of their patron saint and left in such haste but they didn't even have time to put on their shoes. now ludwig van beethoven's music is the most performed in the classical genre he was a radical always pushing the boundaries of his craft and perpetually reinventing himself throughout his career every year his hometown of bomb stages a three week festival in honor of the most famous some this is festival is focused

on the topic of fate derived from the central motif in his fifth symphony and for the twelfth year running the beethoven fest features a public viewing right in the heart of the city. band's market square is filled with the sound of beethoven seven the public screening of a concert on the opening weekend of the annual beethoven fest has become a tradition. you're seeing it on a screen but still it's amazingly beautiful you get to see close ups of the instruments you can really follow what's going on. and for those also like the way even people who just happen re passing by you can enjoy some classical music you don't have to go to a concert hall and pay loads of money for

a ticket and i think that is you know i did think oh i hope it's not only beethoven so i'm glad there is more on the program on. the program performed by conductor christoph sparing and i'm torn orchestra from cologne features beethoven mendoza on and a lesser known composer credit non-truths. the concert which also features two choirs marks the two hundredth jubilee of the lower vanished music festival one of the first major music festivals in europe. two days before the concert the orchestra rehearsed he says oratory i'm in cologne. and beethoven was a big and students writer non-greasy probably his most important or perhaps second most important students after college chani was an early director of music festivals. i think performed his own works but he was always having beethoven's

work performed in the early years of the festival beethoven was the major star in the music fist. dramatic theme of this year's beethoven festival is shiksa distant. from in this. doc is his fault and makes sense because that word has really shaped our understanding of who beethoven was tom. dunbar's long and it also makes sense because i always try to look for contrast in different eras. best year i did a very lyrical themes in a distant lover so yes because of this year i felt able to bring something that hits you harder to call. another tradition is the afternoon performance hosted by dortch event at the beethoven fests media partner and presented by your own max host mike it's clear that this is if it's money it's. the broadcasters

director general fatalism book was there to provide information first hand as was nico wagner who has been the director general of the festival since tony fourteen started to come. it's good to. see that another guest this year was most bamma a soundscape and installation artist from austria. his work in the lobby of the bon world conference center is entitled typewriter of the future. a grand piano was prepared a month in advance and are not tell you not far from the city of peter for. it's equipped with electronics and small motors carrying little hammers that make purpose of sounds and different rhythms. economically speaking are knocking on the piano just. destiny not on beethoven's door six and to pick up that.

back to the market square. the line of screening goes on for nearly three hours. from a dentist and you know with all these lights hanging here the cafes it's a really wonderful experience and it's a good opportunity for the city of bonn which organizes the festival really great on my window it was wonderful the choice of voices was excellent the. music to the people the public openers screening is without a doubt one of the highlights of the by beethoven fest. it's time now for a trip to france in our ongoing series here max extra for you the viewers get to send us all over the continent salomé but i got in from quito ecuador wants to know more about france and so we travel to

a part of the country that has evolved dramatically in the last few years we're off to finney and sultan t.n. in central france. sometimes and used to be a sense of for coal mining during the french industrial revolution but the minds of long closed since then the region has been looking for a new identity. percentage is a mix of architectural arest the historic part of town with the graunt a.v.'s dates back to the twelfth century but a drive through town quickly reveals the rapid transition from old buildings to newer more modern structures. the church of st charles in the center of town is located on a popular square which also includes city hall. this is where you can experience

a typical easygoing lifestyle which many french here enjoy. over the last few years santa n.t.n. has undergone an urban transformation the city to design is a place where higher education meets culture was created in two thousand and nine on an old arms manufacturing site and now hosts exhibitions and other events including the international design be anally thanks in part to contributions by the center unesco name santé chan a creative design city in two thousand and ten. from the late one nine hundred century until the one nine hundred seventy s. sente chan was a hub for coal mining the industrial revolution provided the means for considerable development putting santé chan on the map. the choreo mine was the most important coal extracting facility in the region at the height of production miners here extracted some nine hundred thousand tonnes of coal per year and the

mine closed in one thousand nine hundred seventy three but its legacy lives on as a popular tourist attraction. if you would in the nineteenth century when france began to industrialise it was the city of santa t.m. which was the fastest apply cone and thus made the great transformation of the industrial age possible suntanned composed to being one of the first french and european industrial cities and even today coal is still an important part of the spirits of the inhabitants of such. scented hands industrial boom led to the creation of the largest housing and cultural complex designed by swiss french architect look. the site in germany was planned in the one nine hundred fifty s. to solve a housing shortage the idea was to create a village where the people had everything they needed in close proximity.

a polar a in a german polish breed of dog and her life started with tragedy but she's since bounced back let's find out how she became a social media star. this fifteen gram construction is helping the pomeranian mincey to run around on four legs again it's part of the we couldn't find a prosthesis we looked for a long time and lost as far afield as the us everyone kept telling us it would never work before. it was just four months old when an acquaintance of a paddock and his girlfriend's son had told hawkins dropped breaking the tiny dog's leg. the vet the treat it means he made some mistakes and soon the leg had to be amputated phones by those when they had to take off her leg and we thought oh no the poor thing and most of them into never be able to play with the other dogs she won't have a normal life and i'm honestly me. the young couple from northern germany wrecked

their brains to try and find a way to help the dog quickly got used to life on three legs but it soon began to cause problems with her back. then sandra who was studying physics had no idea why not design a prosthesis herself as. i did all cash these were made with a three d. printer out of a carbon a mix. and other mold so i can pour instead of heading. i will say i have to show you around six months to come up with a really good fit that we've put a lot of time into making something good for her. in the end an orthopedic technician took sandra's designs and tied it a prosthetic for the dog and missy who became a star on instagram. the pomeranian now has over one hundred thousand followers on the platform her own is want to do more than just post photos that.

shockingly lots of vets like the one operated on are unaware of the options. we wanted to spread the word off and went to my things andrea will back me up when i say we really didn't expect it to take off like this. just how many. of the fighters she's joined by his buddies monte and so has been putting on it is now she says. maybe she's trying to pretty herself up whenever we pull the camera out she runs her own water dish and dunks herself we really don't know why. mincey is still practicing with have pressed the ship at the moment she anywhere said at home. form of now we're going to make things a little tougher. during today's training session when she is supposed to clamber over an obstacle. she makes it and of course has successful

attempt gets posted straightaway and late and santa who they've had struggles will help other pet owners to make tough decisions. because we want to show that a dog can have a happy life with three legs the dog shouldn't be put to sleep if they lose one life with a prosthesis can be normal. and is think it will take their dog about a year to just complete two minute leg in the meantime he will continue to share a fence that having just three bags doesn't have to slow you down. now we stay in germany and head to mice and towns with. the first european porcelain was manufactured there and seventeen term when a factory was opened in the book. over the last three hundred years the tradition has been carried forward every two years the town celebrates the local craft we
