it would be wrong to want you to ignore the reality that they might blow up in the face of a system that spun out of control. problem that will. cause. the crash the investment bank lehman brothers start september thirteenth on d w. i that i'm max merrill welcome to today's edition of euro max your european lifestyle and culture program here's what we've got in store for you today. the trace vintage car enthusiasts flock to the motor first of all in denmark the historic inventory we visit the home of late german chancellor helmut schmidt.

and our space a tunnel underneath because of those rhine river bank houses an exhibition. now if you're wondering why i'm dressed a little differently today it's all to do with our very first reports every september the danish island of turns into a hotspot for vintage car enthusiasts the usually peaceful beach on the north sea results with a chorus of howling engines and the visiting petrol heads turn up dressed to fit the occasion twenty thousand spectators travel to this in order to get a taste of the vintage motor sports event so let's see what's got the engines going . racing over the beach at full speed in vintage vehicles on the danish island of luma classic cars a motorcycle showed just how much life is left in them to be traced. is the only

one of its kind in europe. not every color is street legal like this one fitted with an airplane engine. the race is open to all vehicles built before nine hundred forty two the track is two hundred nine meters long or exactly one eighth of a mile. cooks and katherina go fundie have come from bavaria to take part they're driving a nine hundred twenty eight model a ford it's the roadster version with ninety horsepower on the day before the big race they've come to overwhelm a beach to check out the track. is completely new here this really only happens here that's why every year we drive the eleven hundred kilometers from bavaria to come here and experience this. group. for making us is the less you can't enjoy this kind of freedom anywhere else and you can drive on the beach on the sand you can let the back end swing out and get a taste of the sea breeze and sand in your teeth mia i look forward to it all year

long. gun see ya but first the calmest time to go to a technical inspection it's one of one hundred six vehicles taking part in this year's race inspectors check whether they really are pre-boil board two models and ensure they have me in fitted with modern replacement parts. to go fante's for this road whether the in germany japan the technical inspection is just a formality they've all their car five years ago it was love at first sight. according to john and it's. without any driver is it something you feel every pebble the wrong it's a great feeling on the end of the relax me three it's a break from the daily grind of nothing bothers you anymore if there's an app for getting into the cars like going back in time. participants have come from eleven different countries many can. all the signs here they enjoy the company of other

fans and sean natural part of the experience of race director. for a dollar checks in on them leaving before the race. i think the fashion nation is the limitations that these old bikes gave and the grand cars the racing cars that they give you i mean sure you could find a modern race car that will go like four hundred kilometers per hour but that's not the incentive the incentive is to try and get a taste of what it was like back then live life at another pace. the room of motor festival was inspired by the traditional beach races held on the neighboring island of foreigner from ninety nine hundred to nine hundred twenty four cars clocked up speeds of over two hundred kilometers per hour here after years of battles with local authorities danish vintage car and bike fans revive the beach racing tradition on rumah. now in its third year the number of participants has trickled

this year's event attracted twenty thousand spectators which is also a record two vehicles go head to head during the races the fastest one wins but participants can race as often as they wish for some just finishing is a victory in itself. is from him of any healer on the floor people are still going because the engines overheat one guy's manual transmission is given out the next is repairing his fuel injector another has problems with his rear wheel cylinders so the numbers are dwindling then the meaning. is i thought it was a really hot summers so this sounds a bit looser than usual normally it's really packed down like a highway this year and there are lots of hills and loose sand that makes it difficult to get enough traction is that it's. great fun and the same for everyone

as much buzz as if. the racing went on for six hours the few participants who used the fastest they just love driving in the courts and katherina the fun to enjoy the day from start to finish all this does all that but on the car just wouldn't start and we were afraid we wouldn't be able to drive at all here but here on the island it's just fine it's been running all day we had no problems it was just another wonderful day. of course they plan to come back next year until then they'll have the room a motor festival souvenir t. shirts to remind them of all the fun they have here. well it's more fun to be had for vintage car enthusiasts and london this week let's

get a roundup of what's happening across europe and our express. what's probably the classiest vintage car show in europe is currently taking place at hampton court palace in richmond london. the concourse of excellence features sixty of the rarest cars from around the world some of which have never been seen before in britain. hundreds of other foreign motor cars are also on display patron of the event is prince michael of kent the queen's cousin a keen motorist and president of the royal automobile club. queen mab data of denmark is on the last leg of her annual summer trip on monday she visited the town of silk a book where her i turned a very included a visit to a museum and one of the biggest companies in the region. for over eighty years

currently the seventy fifth venice international film festival is underway on the german film is in the running for its highest accolade the golden lion never look away was written and directed by florian hank smock he won the oscar for best foreign language film with his debut film the lives of others in two thousand and seven it was a spy drama set in former east berlin his newest picture also deals with a german history and is the director's first german production since his initial success. in never look away a young east german painter confronts his traumatic past the film covers three hours of german history and was inspired by real events director florian hankered as mark spent more than four years working on the screenplay for his latest film. he was fascinated. about this story was having the opportunity to show the

entanglement of perpetrators and victims in a family. and i found that interesting because it was that way all over germany. young korg bonhomie has a special relationship with his aunt elizabeth i said that's what constitutes cordons called fun could it. instructors control. the felty is. a caution that. his own teaches him about art including what the nazis deemed degenerate dart. to last but it's just a mile of then. you should. use a bit is considered somewhat odd. even. i suppose it should.

be you. want his own just taken away by men in white coats. cars the right chords future father in law is responsible for her death at the hands of the nazis . first with the district court banner and played by tom schilling start studying art in east germany there he falls in love with belize a bunch portrayed by power. but her father professor is a band played by as a bus journey disapproves of their relationship isn't to keep out messages of malcolm venter. which would have been. so i can see his eyes an artist can offer his daughter the security he believes she needs in life he considers. small and on important and he uses his position as a great scientist successful under the nazis of the communists and later in the

west as well to break up their relationship at the same time this young man has to make his way as an artist and listen to that little voice within himself which tells him what's right what he should do that fascinated me. before. the film storyline is based loosely on real events in the life of a german artist. one of the world's greatest living painters. taken in one nine hundred thirty two this photo shows a four month old grey stone with ears and marianna shown verda. in one thousand thirty eight she was declared mentally ill and forcibly sterilized in one nine hundred forty five money ya know it was murdered. twenty years later gary hart raised or used this photo is the basis for one of his paintings footage they didn't know at the time his aunt's forced sterilization was performed at the clinic run by his former father in law in dresden.

a couple of elements from again heart rate as life the starting point for me you could almost call it an inspiration point but then i wrote the story relatively freely because i always find that through composition and through fiction you get closer to the truth than with pure facts. as dicky. cortland early get married but their relationship to ellie's father who tries to hide his nazi past remains strained. immature to make him fit and even. the cat and i believe most of the best as at. least i know. best at. a young couple fleet east germany where the west court resumes his art studies into sort all this. and i'll get us to magazine assess that

there because he's at liberty to live it is at the high. plains of the bottle. it's a time of great change in the art world to never look away includes many allusions to famous artists like to joseph boyce in the film he's called professor van fountain. never look away as a family drama or a thriller. and then all monies to the liberating power of art. which manages to be both moving and entertaining. how have you ever wondered about how our political leaders let's german chancellor angela merkel lives in an apartment in the heart of berlin while french president a man who had mccall resides in the eliz a palace but helmut schmidt was quite an orthodox former chancellor of west germany and his wife remained faithful to their residential home in hamburg now a foundation wants to turn the house into

a memorial site but first someone needs to take stock of all the items which once belonged to the smiths and there are quite a lot of interesting things to be found. the security precautions are still in place at this modest house in hamburg london where it looks like the residents have just gone away for a few days but in fact this is the former home of the late counted and loki. the former west german chancellor and his wife lived here for fifty four years if walls could talk they'd have a lot to say big political decisions were made here but first and foremost it was a refuge from public life where the chancellor read played piano and chess chatted and smoked today the house is owned by the chancellor how much metron dejan there what we have here is a place where the private and public sphere is merged in the family sent together in this living room as did world leaders like just proud to stand and leonid

brezhnev because it was a famous photograph of president in front of this bookcase that we fought to oppression if you put out beyond. since spring twenty seventeen a history student has been compiling an inventory of everything in the house. we examine every single object to see if we can find an artist's initials so we can establish the provenance if we don't find anything we write a description of it give it an identification number and put it back in its place for them to meet another monster in the video under or. even the bottles in ortiz bar which is named after smith's long serving bodyguard are itemized. and has added about six thousand objects to the inventory in the past fifteen months. everything here is being recorded for posterity in keeping with the schmitz will. every diplomatic gift every book glass holiday photo vinyl record an ashtray it's

an almost impossible task. for management of that a few minutes collected an awful lot of things that's what i've learned compiling this inventor e. so finding louis armstrong behind the bar doesn't really surprise me anymore all. i'm good for making good progress when now in the bar we've done a lot and the end is in sight you know the commander. the bar also hosted the legendary friday society for thirty years the schmitz would regularly invite people from all walks of life politicians entrepreneurs artists writers doctors and scientist to a lecture and debate followed by a dinner complete with a nightcap in the bar. the inventory is expected to be completed this autumn the

house may one day open to the public once a place teeming with life the house in hamburg long and hard now feels like a museum with loki's pruning shears and how much mitt's menthol cigarettes among the items on display. well our regular viewers will be well aware of our high five series when we present you some unusual rankings today we're focusing on yoga the ancient indian practice is widely popular here in europe but not everyone is partial to it so we looked up some interesting variations to win yoga skeptics over here are. five ideas for people who think that it is boring. yes this really is yoga and although it seems a bit silly it does have a serious purpose these yoga's on laughing to reduce stress levels laughter yoga is

of the rhine river promenade out above the ground the area was pedestrian ised while traffic was moved underground but soon local artists discovered a tunnel of all that and more recently was turned into a fascinating up space. this but no you can't hear a thing because. in one town of us all in an underground tunnel vault basically surrounded by traffic arteries. some fifty five thousand vehicles ten through the rhine bank tunnel every day the first time the gallery's artistic director gets wood pater's was here she couldn't believe how close the traffic walls. five hundred yards back was the door when i was first here in two thousand and six there was a metal door that i was told was an emergency exit i opened it and stuck my head out the cars were speeding past just fifty centimeters away so naturally i shut the

doors fast as i could i was there to snag some about. today the space is on recognizable. at the best my the first time i was here this was just a hole it was still under construction just a tunnel vote for but it has been turned into a space for contemporary art so lots of construction is going on and i had to wear rubber boots it was an eight hundred square metre building site and the first exhibition was to take place six months later. amazingly it did the couldn't steam tunnel gallery opened in two thousand and seven it can be accessed via this cafe it was designed by an architect nicholas fritchey who also worked on the rhine embankment prominent. usually he explains the tunnel vaults get filled in and there's that's what the ups's actually the structural engineers working on the tunnel had intended to fill in the vault and stopped at the sec but

then one of them suggested that roofing over two of the side tunnels would make them more stable and the filling them in. on them would also be cheaper for. new clothes for itching it was immediately intrigued by the space form it was the shape . it is a very unusual shape and. nick says it's all crooked the floor the walls of on one side the ceiling is extremely low. and then on the other side this is really hard but it's like an elongated wonky tetrahedron interested. eight hundred eighty eight square metres space one hundred forty meters long and the ceiling that's from two to nearly six metres high up to six times a year the gallery hosts shows of work by young artists such as natalie hoy's alone . and the one key wolves don't matter
