automotive world so far but it's not a motor show it's about people being able to see automobiles as we want to break with the rules governing the car collector market and make it a cultural experience. in this market. this car was designed by italian style architect conti's sixty five years ago but it was never built now and the original scale model has been pretty used for the first time. and british actor it just. albo made this film about his passion for cars. amazing how does because you'll see girls are promotion like you know what you. know. speed is the only sensation unique

to the twentieth century and i think to be honest i think the whole motor car as we see it here is a twentieth century phenomenon the drama the romance the sex the power the prestige and status. even baby has brought a car along with him to grand and nine hundred sixty one british built forward capri. great design that inspires dreams and this car was meant to give the english consumer a dream of america but also it's called a capri and it was meant to give him the dream of foreign travel. all of the cars under splay or grand basle have a story to tell and here they presented like artworks in a gallery in just the right light. to. the vehicles on show range from the earliest of automobiles. to the wild experiments of the one nine hundred sixty

shore things like this and that and then there would be less people to start thinking about its. grand basel an exciting new platform to discuss past and future mobility and our continuing fascination with the automobile. when we go on now to a brief look at other stories on the cultural scene including a high rise bill to stand the test of time a food bank in florence and i'm news a legend who won't hang up his guitar just yet more on those stories coming up in today's express. the frame for the world's tallest high rise made of wood has been topped out in the norwegian town of broome and dolls the mews tower is fifteen stories and eighty

a new set of album titled egypt station his eighteenth since the breakup of the beatles. the seventy six year old rex must have been some some sounds. if you're a pet owner have you ever wondered what you look like through its eyes while berlin artist clara has developed a special apparatus to satisfy such curious minds the so-called and in my local mat is a type of photo machine which gives the viewer an animal's purse back to be a snake fish horse or bet we take a closer look now at how it works. this may look like an ordinary photo booth but in fact it's a world first. it's been dubbed the only milo cool about. an

animal a cooler mass is an animal's eye view machine you can go inside just like you would a normal face habit and get your picture taken as seen through the eyes of a certain species of animal. berle an artist clara hobbs invented the booth she came up with after a museum a commissioner for an art project about how animals perceive the world human beings can use it to view themselves as one of six very different species would see them through the very different types of eyes. and this is the jumping spider having eight eyes distorts the image. then there's the horse its eyes are set far apart so that causes a blind strip the bats upside down and then hunts by song or signals. a snake this is what life looks like with thermal imaging and an extended neck.

and what comes out is a passport photo that shows the person the regular human way and next to it is a second photo depicting the subject as the selected animal species would see them . in the inverted. the i mean my local limits range of the pictures are backed up by a lot of science but also had to be allowed some artistic license. i did a lot of research and talked to lots of scientists and collected lots of material from what research is available on how animals see there's relatively little on it but the parts that intrigued me most are what i picked out to use. museum of natural history as director since the our project is completely in line with her institution's objective. that's not really what i'm going to this is a really interesting change of perspective for us as a natural history museum it's not only about how we see animals but how we regard

animals. yeah we do plenty of that here in the museum photos reproducing the vision of a some fish jumping spider or an octopus take just a little more time to develop. for nature in early twenty nineteen. time now for something to eat and for ten days a cart we are heading to britain and france for a classic dish that these are kept made with buckwheat which is a specialty in this in north western region of france now in the buckwheat used here has a history in itself dating back many centuries now out for normally serve sweet with jam or even chocolate spread let are rather salty and can be served with ham and even an egg well we take a look now at various versions that are traditional cafe.

brittany is famous for its rugged and beautiful coastline this region in northwestern france is home to fishermen and farmers. locally grown wheat is plentiful here good news for the region's many crip of the city and there's certainly no shortage of those here in the small town of compact which dates back to the middle ages. is one of the oldest here it's run by audrey good idea and her calling. for her collapse she mixes different types of flour in addition to ordinary wheat meal she also uses flour made from buckwheat. known here as for black wheat it's a key ingredient in the price. as an email will says and i've added salt to my various types of flour mills and now i mix it all up with my hands.

so i add one egg. and finally water. and so what. the mixture is needed to form a light batter. then it's ready for cooking. that's actually so this is a bit on. the griddle is coated with egg for cooking rather than fat. and. that's how we wait. oh if we use a lot of butter in brittany butter with salt. and then eggs it goes in the center genially and then cool yetis over the top oddly and then add hem and fold it.

was then you brush it with salted butter. and it's. all kinds of toppings can be used for the. favorites include goat's cheese or rock for sausage bacon or slices of pork loin. the gallops are traditionally served with cider. was first introduced to france from asia in the middle ages it quickly became popular among farmers. the plants thrive even in brittany's acidic soil and rainy conditions. have been that takes just three months to grow that's very fast and that's what made it so popular. it was duchess of brittany who really brought it in.

and she divided the region into an upper and a lower brittany. so in upper brittany their work i let and in lower brittany the more refined clip. crap and are not just popular with the locals but also with tourists diners of the cricket he describes you get to select the ingredients of their choice. and as the meal is very inexpensive it's common to have multiple courses. for dessert many opt for a sweet kind. it's usually served with a homemade caramel sauce. but the company to floozy offers a huge selection of sweet cups including with chocolate or fruit preserves. for the more exclusive clip from back with combine you.

how do you become a bartender of the stars well it's a combination of hard work and sheer luck as manual vout has fun on tour in belgium will tell you after graduating from a hotel management school and working in a bar in a luxury liner for years he met a wealthy indian customer who changed his life. then found himself in high demand well now he serves up drinks at parties with thousands of guests and many of them with celebrity status. cocktails with ice stirred shaken or saved after twenty years in the business manual doubters has perfected his craft when he's not at his cocktail bar in antwerp these are conjuring up their bridges for stars like paris hilton. manual doubters and his twin brother ali travel all over the world making contrails but it all began with a chance encounter diamond dealers from india ordered soft drinks at his bar they

were so impressed by his alcohol free cocktails they took him for a party with five thousand guests. he said they had a large building in india and told me to fly over and take a look. and there were some big name american stars there celine dion and richard branson richard branson the billionaire entrepreneur was equally impressed and indian maharajah's also took note since then the brothers have been providing the cocktails for ever larger parties. these days we do events in india would have the thirty five thousand guests and you can imagine how much preparation is involved everything has to be fresh and it's incredibly hot there too. and the parties don't always take place in hotels sometimes all we do an event with ten or fifteen thousand guests it's a huge open air venue. they make it look like euro disney and. the brothers have been working hand in hand for eleven years. their alcohol free market

tales are especially popular. they grew up in a small town not far from antwerp manual studied hotel management and ended up taking a job on the q e two back then in the one nine hundred eighty s. it was one of the world's most luxurious cruise liners she began as a waiter in one of the onboard restaurants. i started scraps of their one day there was a very small party with the captain and he said to me with the voters i need to serve cocktails upstairs we'll show you how it's done. and that's when i first got interested in that. manual spent twelve years working as a barkeeper on the rustling of cocktails for stars such as dolly parton for telly savalas and other celebrities he created a number of recipes and a sense publish them in a book. shop and said i made one recipe for tom cruise and he was having

a party in his room he almost never came out of a suite. so they told me to go up and make sort of. he said he wanted a might. very well known cocktail. is normally a very strong cocktail with a lot of alcohol in it. so i made him a version that was a lot softer and gentler. i thought it was today's manual and ali both live in their home city in belgium again after being abroad for so many years many well returned home in the year two thousand and opened his own bar in antwerp the fulfillment of a long held dream. there was a pretty risky move because back then there weren't really any cocktail bars in belgium. and they didn't want to serve beer there are lots of cafes that can do that but just said i'm going to do my thing what i've learned to do we're making mocktails and cocktails. without alcohol when

manual isn't mixing for the stars at an event abroad you'll find him at his barn and where you still can't order of beer here but there are one hundred twenty different menu to choose from he knows each and every recipe by heart and he takes great care choosing his ingredients the fruit is always fresh the serious are homemade and the spirits are top notch his personal favorite in the summertime is gentle tonic for us even feels the recipe so it's really simple. a couple of big chunks of ice so it fills up the glass. a shot of good gin i must. add a few juniper berries. six or maybe some fresh lemon bam. and i'm going to swizzle stick not a straw because if you drink it with

a straw you lose the carbonation come on. you stirred a little and slowly had the tonic. ice cold poured in slowly and you have the perfect gin and tonic you have it in perfect and . the celebrity barkeeper loves mixing drinks and i'm sure when he isn't talking india at another royal wedding or on some other attention. and finally we take to the water for a tour of the german city of how the port there is over eight hundred years old and a huge tourist attraction there are lots of tour companies both on the river and the lakes but only one with professional skippers on hand who not only show you the city from the water but they give you a sailing lesson as well however guess who easily get seasick should be well advised the outer allstar lake can get quite choppy.

lots of people envy her profession. he gets plenty of sun wind and water every day down escaping in hamburg. i'm guessing you want to go sailing. and his job is to make sure that his guests crusty as safe and sound. fallen in the water before but on a private trip with plans to takes about ninety minutes those who want to can get in some sailing practice today a passenger takes the. the ulster isn't an easy place to sail when stern often so you have to do a lot. this is my first time home a little nervous out on the specific rules for right of way it's demanding but fun. the answer is a lake like body of water in the middle of hamburg that's up to

a kilometer wide and three long johns worked on it for four years. and i love the sail and to teach my guests a little about sailing and about hamburg too of course. after i passed the n.r.l. stood there are two looks and they used to regulate the water levels in the ulster because otherwise it would overflow. but. it's really interesting because of the perspective that you otherwise don't have if you're just in a car or on a bike. and you have this but i come from johannesburg where we don't have a lot of water i really like the tour. might even be the most beautiful view of hamburg. only to see for the first time when he was fifteen and eventually got a captain's license after his son was born he gave up life as a full time sailor but he never gets tired of sailing on the.

roster but order food water is like the liquid of life for me that's so dramatic i know but it's the truth it was i have to say look on down the river once a month and look at the ships i couldn't live without water around me short of. his son to sail long ago but there's still plenty of locals and tourists eager to learn from him. and with that we come to the end of the show but before we go we want to let you went on the winner of this week's draw and now we wanted to see your previous vacation photos and we received lots of entries from all over the world including from colombia or from the colosseum in rome. and of cured in norway but the winner is right logo cartographer in costa rica who sailed over turkey and a hot air balloon so congrats all right you are the winner of an exclusive euro max
