a videogame exhibition. creative in earnest featuring top selling wines from germany using the region. between the sheets of design patel in belgium is a magnet for the rich and famous. video games have come a long way since pac-man or space invaders to become a large part of today's popular culture here in germany it's estimated that forty percent of the population play video games and that number seems to be growing will like them or not there's no disputing that video games are an integral part of many people's lives so much so the victorian albert museum in london has devoted an entire exhibition to the subject and shows the diversity of modern videogames and how they impact modern culture to this day. video games have become more than just a way to pass the time in fact they're currently being presented as an art form at

a museum in london the victoria and albert who's dedicating an entire exhibition to deal games focusing on their development since the early two thousand years there is a turning point around that access to broadband to social media to new design tools and new commentary online new whites talk about video games help and it's really changed the nature of the media and moved it from a particular direction for it so much boardwalk that can explore different ideas. that applies to games with a million dollar budget. as well as small independent productions the show is the d.n.a. pays special attention to how games look or an expression about all the design and so not said today video games make perfect sense to be explored here right now digital design is one of the most important elements of contemporary design and that's why we're at the forefront of exploring these things one example of

outstanding design is that twenty thirteen gaming epic that lanced of us. what are you still freight train cars that. players assume the roles of father and daughter trying to survive in a world ravaged by an epidemic. thanks to an exciting story line matched by deceptively realistic graphics the game has sold millions of copies. the exhibit reveals the months long painstaking work that goes into developing stories and game design. design is also key to the success of journey a surprise yet from twenty twelve. players room of virtual desert that's where the game's developers. went to a real sandy environment to design and. they went to that is no dunes on that store thing l.a.

and decided to spend time running in the sand and you could see me playing with a scarf in the air and you know just sliding and walking and chilling with the sand felt like because we really wanted to build this summer several for this and as a unique feature. journey was the first video game ever to be nominated for a grammy it soundtrack was a contender in two thousand and thirteen. oh my. god. i think one of the biggest things that you can do is you can really reach for something new and different go into the blue ocean and try to find other unique feeling or unique style or unique way of interacting that really captures hearts. the exhibition also make space for games that dive into topical social issues like the game how do you do it with its playful take on gender issues.

the graveyard tackles issues of aging players take on the role of an elderly woman a big contrast to brutal first person shooters. harvey and marcos i mean developed the game a lot of video games deal with death but they deal with them in very artificial ways and confronting a gamer with the idea of death was sort of in a way we were playing with their expectations of what games death is and then also making them think about well the human condition at the same time was just what we wanted to show this is this confrontation of life and death in the city and the harmony between those. in the virtual and the real worlds are growing closer for example game fashion scene spiral cardew signs. in reality and vice versa. players go beyond just playing it they create they they take the characters from

these walled off line and create cosplay and they create communities and you know i think both of these there isn't some topics of superphosphate the future of video games. the show into victoria and albert museum and means back at the beginning at least in the parents it's an arcade retro style hands on that you can touch and trying to cultivate experimenting and having fun is what video games are all about and in this case in a museum. while another exhibition is drawing to many visitors to moscow a berlin landmark turns fifty and a new film about the famous playwright of bear told. those stories and more coming up in today's express. a new film about their top brits threepenny opera has made it to the silver screen

starring to be a small retie and last idea the german a belgian production premiered in berlin on monday. the tale of murder and prostitution was first to be filmed in the late one nine hundred twenty s. incorporation with the author but rest on the company found out. this morning can you. first brought them to preserve his knowledge is the basis of this spectacular film within a film production team with a nuisance to real life it goes on general release starting september thirteenth. jewels once worn by hollywood star elizabeth taylor are now drawing visitors to a new exhibition in moscow well guarded at the italian luxury. and is over a century old. the exhibition traces the history of the one time family business and includes the engagement ring richard burton gave to elizabeth taylor. got

river represent the largest steep slope to wine growing area in the world top quality riesling is also produced here but the many visitors who come here don't just come for the wine mosel valley is also beautiful and has been named one of the top ten sites to visit in germany. the mosel valley is just an hour's drive from the city of trina it's famed for its wine growing culture. it was the ancient romans who brought wine production to this region. challenging no one else in the world either so many steep slope vineyards as there are here. they may look picturesque but their hard work. and this year's hot dry summer has kept the growers guessing marcus long in from the long est hopes the prevailing high temperatures and lack of rain will give his great balance level

of rightness. because. we can expect a very good twenty eight. wind often are just measured eighty two degrees on the ursula scale in the great. medicine. is not good either because then the winds have too much alcohol and the mosel isn't known for high alcohol winds but for more delicate one. so now they're hoping for rain so that the grapes are juicy enough otherwise the vendors will have to start harvesting quickly marcus long is getting his cellars ready he needs enough space to prove the great after they've been picked. red wines would actually be better suited to the unusually hot climate marcus long and grow some red wine varieties like cabernet sauvignon and marlow. the sun kissed summer has the wine growers hoping for

a super vintage for their reds they could even compare with some of these rarities from the one nine hundred sixty s. seventy's and eighty's and mark as long as collection and often twenty eighteen is a very mature vintage and that means wines that you can store for a long time log on. and we will definitely store some of the rightness whether white or red he'll like. the great german poet johan. enjoyed what he described as delicious and. today's winners are producing world renowned premium restrain lines like marcus. just tasting room is deliberately plain so nothing distracts from the wine. marcus took over his father's wine a state in the one nine hundred eighty s. and made it. one of the region's largest. one corner stores from all over the world swear by money to our wines. at auctions the best of them fetch prices as high as

four thousand euros per bottle. feel a vision this disease of this thing where many people don't realize that eighty to one hundred years ago our riesling ones were the most expensive wines in the world by far the thing that. we tried in the one nine hundred twenty s. a reason cost two or three times as much as the most expensive or dollar burgundy so our aim and that of other highly successful wineries is to bring the mosul back to where it was a hundred years ago and. each slope is different with its own individual flavors but ninety percent are devoted to one great reason to get the best results the grapes are harvested as late as possible the slate soils make moral reasonings unique. is easy and before you see how fine the slate is here it produces very mineral rich riesling wines with spicy notes and what's great about this slate is that it's always releasing new minerals into the soil which i guess it's. slate

gives the most a wine its trademark taste it's also the building material for this prize winning architecture. marcus long and rents out to visitors so as not to be exclusively dependent on wine growing guests can stay overnight in the winter cottages the italian architect much designed i'm inspired by the vintners typical worker cuts on the slopes. he must get to be as open vials of our guests have never been to the most already told us they don't know this valley and are only discovering it now we didn't used to have accommodations so these are all new guests many architecture freaks but also cyclists hikers and people on leisure trips in the. along. with this reason the number one traction it can also be enjoyed as a sparkling wine. visitors with its beautiful vistas of the

river and the hills it's one of germany's top. it's the great coverage that make it one of the country's favorite tourist attractions. staying on the subject of wine we would like to know where you like to enjoy a glass or two just go to our website for all the details on how to enter our drawn by taking part you qualify to end exclusive watch right top designer karl lagerfeld is not just known for his fashion sense and a photographic eye he's also infamous for his direct and often derogatory comments now his words are certainly worth their weight in gold so here are. outrageous remarks that only karl lagerfeld could get away with.

longer felt verdict is feared and often scathing highly clue no one in paris knows her. flower prints for overweight matrons in two thousand and twelve lagerfeld pulled no punches about sweat pants. sweat pants are a symbol of failure you've lost control of your life and you walk around in sweat pants this talk show remark takes place on our list. his opinion seems to impress everyone except himself two years after ridiculing sweatpants peace and calm down the catwalk in sweatpants. fashion is fickle and karl lagerfeld the pit of my eyes is that that's logical enough trends come and go he says including when it comes to models. someone thought of as beautiful today will hardly find a cleaning job to. this statement shocked the fashion world we rated fourth among lagerfeld books in twenty eleven even disparage clothing schiffer long his muse no

one wants to see her any more. in the meantime they're frozen bodies again. there's one gal he'll never say anything bad about his favorite new shoes the siamese cat with blue eyes has a hold on lagerfeld otherwise well controlled emotions are third place. i never would have thought i'd fall in love so hard if i could i'd marry shoe pet said the master in an interview in two thousand and thirteen it's rumored to even eat at the same table everyone knows that lagerfeld would never humiliate a partner by making her eat off the floor. sunglasses and black gloves hair and a rolls royce karl lagerfeld is extravagance personified yet the designer considers himself pretty well grounded. i've got my feet firmly on the

ground but not on this earth is how he defines his life style second place for that remark we believe him implicitly. but don't be fooled by the glitz and glamor karl lagerfeld success is based on hard work and discipline even if he pretends otherwise. i don't know stress i only know stross bryan stow he once said now that's a worthy line for the top of the charts an outrageous lagerfeld remarks in any case karl lagerfeld doesn't like the fashion circus worry him maybe that's the secret of his success. i wonder if karl lagerfeld would have anything to say about the subject in our next report the or the white little. hotel in belgium it's known to be popular with the stars and its guests include singers carla bruni and adele and now the hotel is in

a seventeenth century building located in the center of town no two rooms are like with the lots of attention given to detail and design visitors will have to dig a bit deep in their pockets though if they want to stay here is the room start at three hundred euros per night so let's have a look now at what makes this accommodation so special. want to sleep under the same roof as the rich and famous in antwerp old quarter then deal with sydney hotel is the place for you own up to shop post's models musicians and actors from around the world in the refurbished seventeenth century building. so here we have some by spirit for i feel welcome well for example three or four weeks ago carla bruni was here oh and she wrote you thank you do it today leave for the great time connor brought me down i'll cry and then he pop. thanks very much very much and his signature his signature. and their own there's this guy

. he comes every two or three years trying to work when i'm defo. thank you dear would to lisa's and then he says and then he writes thank you part and i'm just hopeful. for the same room that carla bruni and other v.i.p.'s use you have to book the presidential suite double to missed us as a double room it costs six hundred thirty five euros a night out but you can also book it as a single and then it's around four hundred ninety five. prominent guests enjoyed the privacy not long ago at del state here. hello. it's me. does. she run of the entire hotel for a whole week. and every night yes she slept in a different room and the theme of the show off and. but blue shop bought the hotel in two thousand and eight and remodeled it according to his own taste. in motel

shop runs the deal with an elite together with a longtime employee and his family. over the past decade he's rebuilt all eleven rooms the hotel owner leads nothing charts. he plans every detail like in the new suite being completely in the attic the shop is not just fond of exclusive wallpaper and furniture while traveling he was often annoyed by narrow or impractical bathrooms for me. when i go on vacation when i visit or syria or go to the beach beach the most important thing in the room for me is the bathroom and games good having a really good shower. here they're actually all gold faucets and the shower is concealed in a kind of chandelier. but the kitchen is not hidden away behind closed doors any guest who feels like cooking can use it. on my own
