people here don't have a clue that feminism but there are women who want to instigate change even if we do look for justice and equality. under the skin of russia's women starts nov thirteenth on w. . everyone and welcome to another exciting edition of your max today we are celebrating the birth of a nation but that's not all here's a look at what's coming off. the lights out an exhibition in the friendship seat of meds is jenny catered to darkness. deep deep how rich the londoners are expanding their living space. for an embassy featuring

a local delicacy from romania. this weekend europe is commemorating one hundred years since the end of a war that was supposed to end all wars world war one well it didn't end all conflicts but something did occur and that was the birth of a nation austria germany southern neighbor is a small alpine republic but it has had a big impact both historically and culturally the country only has eight million residents but it draws in some forty three million tourists every year all from wienerschnitzel to the waltz to the vienna philharmonic to alpine sports in a cosy coffeehouse culture austria has so much to celebrate as it marks one hundred years as a nation. austria

a small country with a lot of character. the alpine republic has fans the world over. which is really really fantastic displays it's like very rich in culture the countryside mainly i basically just think of green hill and. i did see bo that you can dance on. impressive mountain landscapes. alpine chalets. and in the winter snow as far as the eye can see. many people come here for just one reason. the skiing with seven thousand two hundred kilometers of ronnie's austria is a skier's paradise these are going to get shifted into all these cliches their

troops just get all this is our cliche that. these are the mountains the rivers but they have a certain magic it's a bit like a fairy tale landscape. just as a deal like our austria cities like innsbruck. sounds boring. and the capital vienna here the splendor of the habsburg monarchy is omnipresent just like this famous melody we were they came here. starting from the first day i've always liked. playing. that i. love. the blue danube waltz by johann strauss is vienna's. an official anthem trials is known as the waltz king to this day. all of vienna sways to the rhythm of the waltz

. even on the streets instructions day that would have been impossible. indeed i think. back then waltz music and operators were permitted in the inner city and mostly in the un to go to the outlying districts to the stately homes where people through part of. this obvious point of clubbing us today. our society would all go and dance the night away with a waltz music a bicycle it's strong the pop star of his day dance music. except that a century before that austria already had a superstar. once you talk about austria the first thing that comes to go my smalls are. both young mozart the musical wunderkind from salzburg made history and today with a chocolate to his name the more. he remains and people's tongues become an astounding. two hundred years later he inspired pop star falco for his

rock me which soared to the top of u.s. charts but. i go isn't the only one to enjoy global success i in the mid one nine hundred eighty s. opus was all the rage i. see days austrian artists are also worth remembering conchita resplendent in dress and beard won the euro vision song contest in two thousand and fourteen arnold schwarzenegger was mr universe and went on to become a hollywood star. i'll be back. mr fox also took his acting talents to hollywood's silver screen. austria exports not just movie stars but also cohen eric classics like wienerschnitzel. as well as

kaiser pancakes. and apple strudel then there's a sucker toward a chocolate cake traditionally served in one of his many coffee houses for which the city is famous. love it and hated at the same time and so a good opening goes straight to your hips. but i've. got to savor it and sure it well in your mouth so it's easier to swallow . and their home is well there you have a call an area experience. with . you but it was the sound of music that's perhaps been the greatest ad for austria over the years what is. the story of the fun truck family from salzburg has shaped austria's image worldwide since the one nine

hundred fifty s. still today bus loads of tourists arrive to visit the various film locations see. austria's many unusual traditions are another big tourist draw like the rhythmic whip cracking known as operation. along with traditional costumes and of course yodeling dinner break says there is another typical austrian characteristic of. it but if you ask people a question in german they'll typically get a yes or a no so in australia people say. oh let's wait and see obama over think about that maybe i'll have an idea and so you can wind your way out of it and be wonderfully non-committal being you know. or and i love that about austria the sleeper cell or story. a relaxed attitude that makes austria all the more attractive to so many visitors.

. playing somebody. fans of twentieth century art should pay a visit to the pompeii due in metz in eastern france and that's because the museum is hosting an exhibition about the night featuring artists such as renee my complete committee and pablo picasso all of them use the dark hours to symbolize something scary or magical or freedom now there will even be an opportunity to spend the night in the museum has more. tonight offers an atmosphere all of its own and unusual time for visitors to enjoy the artworks here throughout history the night has been a popular creative time for artists. there's almost like soul or of an english you have the term night painter

a painter who just can't work during the day they have been many night painter and we have many of their works artists who are obsessed with the night. the night hasn't always been as brightly lit as it is today in cities like berlin and paris artists celebrated the advent of electricity in the early decades of the twentieth century then before world war two there was a fascination for grotesque creatures that teamed in the darkness for the surrealists the night held something of a magical quality. migrates works tended to be mysterious and fantastical. in the one nine hundred seventy s. francis bacon's paintings depicted the stuff of nightmares news haunting figures were brightly illuminated in surrounding darkness. the night is like a world where everything is in motion everything is free. so you don't have the clarity of day of reality where you can take liberties it's something that interests many artists. the night sky is also

a recurring theme there are better jack i'm meant to be portrayed a starry night. and a lovesick pablo picasso painted a portrait of durham are reaching for the stars. alongside an exhibition of the songs were pompidou in metz there will be a number of special events next march for example visitors will be able to spend an entire night to the museum. since what we're inviting people to come and sleep here you can come around eleven pm with a pillow there will. the artists tools that are in different types of music and sounds rather like a massage wall where you you can either sleep or stay up the entire night to listen on them before you leave in the morning will serve breakfast look at the competition. in addition to paintings the collection also includes sculptures and examples of literature on the same theme and of course there are films to the

exhibition painting the night continues until the. space is scarce in the british capital that is why more and more london homeowners have been expanding their basements for some years now that means digging under the gardens to create more space for a luxury now these controversial expansions have a name iceberg houses now the biggest part of the building is underground or be it above or below the surface this whole new development in london has one catch and that is homeowners need to dig even deeper into their pockets because these expansions are very expensive. roams of townhouses like these are typical in london's more affluent neighborhood. the trend has taken hold here in the last few years thanks to a lack of space. i don't like

a move while you can see that housing in london is limited up with you we have no other option but to expand down with it into the senate because it also sort of this is new could have because construction costs an average of five thousand euros per square meter but house resale value comes in at about ten thousand euros ok i'll admit to handle that price is few can afford but those with enough money can enjoy a lavish subterranean extension what up to this this here is an exceptional cellar expansion with a ceiling height. more than three point five means his. requirements like all. homes with such a large cellar space have become known as ice berg homes because like an iceberg there's much more to them beneath the surface than above. there are so far around forty five hundred iceberg homes in london but converting them can cost structural

damage. architect emily mong is working on to sell our projects. careful there's a whole. she's well acquainted with the difficulties of these projects. it's very complicated and difficult the ground is excavated by hand. workers work alone in holes one point two meters deep. ground water rises in some homes which has to be pumped out that was the case here at the front of the house in cases eleven that is all. underground construction often costs homeowners millions. the extra space isn't always for necessary a minute but added luxury. this is. this is well it's great that's a million pounds. iceberg it's

a book combining photographs of churches mosques and synagogues now regardless of your beliefs it's hard to argue with the beauty of these photographs. the pantheon in rome. i have sophia in istanbul. and the star temple synagogue in india. often you can't tell whether it's a mosque a church or synagogue until the second or third look. centuries old houses of worship are all a color mine and subjects before he presses the button the chemistry has to be just right. when i go in i need to have the kind of in light moment of the space or in light mint of the light so there's something a driven force that i'm looking for. some places it's very easy to find somebody says it's a little bit more difficult sometimes it's easy to find but very hard to capture.

this time color mining is turning his lens on berlin's cathedral he looks for just the right subject the optimal position and especially the perfect light. the challenge for him is to capture the particular mood and spatial dimensions fun film . divide the image in several parts so a kind of deconstruct a space and then reconstruct it but it's not perfect and that the certain point. when the viewer is looking the work. so you send the three dimensionality. of mine in creates his artwork after the shoot. in his berlin studio here ranges his photos like the tiles of a mosaic into larger panoramas. all of this is possible to get through but i like to do it on a lot of my work is not for talk or for architecture i mean it's an abstract thing

as a student at university of art and design he found portrait photography too difficult . it was very difficult to work in a studio i did not the equipment and how to direct the people. there were so many things to do at the same time so when we went through this. meant i started to build small spaces and then i could spend whatever time in the studio and then. develop that i want to photograph real spaces. he compiled his sacred spaces from two thousand and fourteen to twenty seventeen years during which tensions between the world religions were growing in europe and elsewhere. did his photo project have a political message. i'm not doing political art but i think all of the team and how it's handled bring something the. board what i'm thinking about it.
