turns seventy made in germany not everyone knows that these are furniture classics are german season nine. catching an interview with the swiss woman who developed colored contact lenses. when most people turned seventy their long into retirement but for british prince charles he's still waiting to start his main job as king that is not the prince of wales's want for work the british air of parent undertakes official duties on behalf of his mother the queen and he's a passionate environmentalist on the meantime though his sons and their wives have overtaken him on the popularity scale as a prince charles celebrates a milestone birthday we take a look back at this life and the controversies surrounding it. just days before his seventieth birthday prince charles and his wife camilla the

duchess of cornwall were traveling in her majesty service the heir to the british throne visited a number of commonwealth states in africa here there in ghana. trips like this have become too tiring for queen elizabeth the second so her eldest son is taking on more duties. off of it there's no one in the world who's better prepared for his job than prince charles maybe that's why the expectations are so high can he ever hope to meet them and what i've had his mother has set the standards he hasn't had it easy as a math life has missed. his long way to ascend the throne began with his birth on nov fourteenth one thousand nine hundred forty eight charles philip arthur george became the u.k.'s first media prince. just three years later his grandfather king george the sixth passed away and his mother became queen prince charles learned to fulfil his royal responsibilities early on he accompanied his mother on trips and

took on official duties on her side a strict daily routine was kept at court family life was limited mostly to public appearances prince charles never experienced much parental affection. and that's tough to. check if he had such a terrible and loveless childhood which he's talked about openly making about the mistakes his parents made so he wanted to do things differently. at first prince charles deferred to the demands of tradition in one thousand nine hundred one he became engaged to lady diana spencer she descended from an old english nobility and was seen in every way as the right choice as his bride though charles evaded questions about being in love unlike diana and. that is. though they'd barely laid eyes on one another

a dozen times the couple exchanged two hours in front of a t.v. audience of some seven hundred fifty million viewers they later had two sons william and harry but right from the start the marriage was rocky the couple had few common interests and charles remained in contact with his former girlfriend camilla parker bowles. one of the two the sounds of the hamas people only see the drama about diana from diana's viewpoint as a woman betrayed my belief and you need to look at things from charles's perspective he was unhappily married married off if you will live it was almost a forced marriage he simply left another woman on the vagina and the cabs soon charles and diana were only appearing together in public johnno pichel occasions in one thousand nine hundred six they divorced their scandals and affairs plunged the british royal family into crisis and things only got worse when diana died in a car accident in paris in one thousand nine hundred seventy. s.

latin also ah but from the novel clinics i mean it took a lot of work for the royal family to restore its image and then a few years later charles said his love for camilla was nonnegotiable which shocked people again i don't know but then they were able to marry and created such a harmonious and likable impression that people couldn't help but like them and the father gives socialist along with his official duties prince charles is involved in various organizations he's the president of dozens of charities like the prince's trust which helps more than forty thousand young people a year to get their lives on track. charles's charitable work ranges from organic farming all the way to alternative medicine and architecture. you know the royal family is riding high in the public's favor. camilla the duchess of cornwall is gaining more acceptance as the spouse of the

future king and charles his sons and their families are hugely popular. that would be one hundred minutes who would think the british people give him the credit that his sons have turned out so great because that certainly wasn't self-evident given all of their traumatic history. that these young men turned out to be such great guys has a lot to do with prince charles and i said these from plans to charles. prince charles began celebrating his seventieth birthday in may at a garden party in london prince harry used the occasion to praise his father's social commitment. so. well i know you both but today don't worry about you you must be doing be what are the most life when i was younger. but instead i also everyone here to say here's thank you for your incredible work i did it to fifty years without losing jobs but very dry off to join me to wish you good prince of

wales a very healthy six months ahead or a seventh year of how very royal. prince charles at seventy may still be waiting to ascend the throne but if and when he's ever crowned king he'll be more than ready. all right moving on to paris now and if you are in need of an antique staircase for your home or office building then pay close attention to the top of today's express . a section of the eiffel tower original staircase is to be later this month in paris. meanwhile the spiral staircase built in one thousand nine hundred ninety has been set up in the arts curial auction houses atrium near the chantilly say. the section is over for me to store all of the ways several hundred kilograms of the staircase was dismantled in one thousand nine hundred three to make way for an elevator another section fetched up. one hundred thousand euros in twenty sixteen and the auction house is expected this

for staying on the subject of art in germany this country has gained a reputation in recent years for being at the forefront of design well in this week's high five series we take a look at some german classics that have made it into the history books of design so here are. five design classics you might not have expected to come from germany. vulture copius his name is inseparable from the powerhouse art school he founded in one. nine hundred nineteen environment i got the us became a world famous architect but his last work wasn't a building it was a t.v. set he designed for the holsten told porcelain company copius designed with the principle of form follows function the fifth spot on a list of german design classics the t.c. one t. said it went into production a nine hundred sixty nine and

a still sold today. what's striking about this classic is its interior simplicity a shelf without screws that can expand together with its owner's book collection in fifth place on our list of design classics that come from germany the f.m.p. shelf system it only takes fifteen minutes and no tools to assemble the parts are joined by aluminum rails the first one produced in one thousand nine hundred nine was the brainchild of the carpenter axel khufu so since then he's made over fifty kilometers worth of stuff wraps. club terrace have been well cautioned right from the start but designer marcel boyer a set out to break with every tradition his club chairs made of steel tubing are now seen as icons of the industrial log in third place on our list the big three club chair. the idea was to make it a purely functional object for daily use but like all bauhaus design classics it

was quite pricey when it first appeared and still is today. this lamp has even made it into new york city's museum of modern art pundits say what special about it is that nothing special about it the second spot on our list of design classics from germany is by german solver smithville how involved in felde the w.t. twenty four table lamp but first he only made fifty of them and sales were sluggish in one nine hundred eighty they were revived. if the cording to vilhelm falcon felts of original plans and this time they took off becoming a worldwide best seller. this classic vienna coffee house chair has been turned down more often than any other model it's been pretty used for a century and a half in front and back. in the top spot of design classics you might not have

expected to come from germany is the tone it chair a number fourteen in eight hundred fifty nine it was a design revolution the beechwood is heated in steam for five hours to make it pliable the tone of the family company has kept the process unchanged to the present day. and stay where germany when you think something that is typically german what comes to mind besides october fest for me if somebody who loves driving really fast in a mercedes for fun in german cliches check out our new series on facebook. so i. want to be called to this. pokes fun at. typically germany idiosyncracies. so.

germany. i don't know but to. facebook. this week we're taking a look at european women who have made a significant contribution in the world today's featured female has had a profound impact on the ice swiss optometrists attracting orbach developed the first colored contact lenses in one thousand nine hundred eighty six success didn't happen overnight but orbits determination and pioneering spirit produced i catching results that still exist to this day. amazing colors and even patterns for your eyes it's all possible with custom contact lenses. the idea to combine vision correction with bright colors and

fantasy shapes came from a swiss one. one particular i contact gave her the inspiration targets. one day i saw a brown eyed woman i'm cold who had a golden spot in one eye. and that fascinated me and i thought the gold all color in your own polly would after moving to the us from switzerland with little cash and lots of ideas she started developing new contact lenses. in how the doll system all i did that i bought my first c.n.c. lathe and experimented on it day and night and he said that he bought it first i had no idea how you made contact lenses. it was just trial and error swatch and i just kept trying trying and trying it with appropriately the property and

eventually she succeeded experimenting with different materials she found a way to color lenses and filed for the patent that still serves as the basis for motive lenses for movie effects as one example brad pitt wore them in an interview with a vampire. in twilight red contacts gave the vampires their bloodthirsty look and then alice in wonderland colored lenses helped transform johnny depp into the mad hatter. now the selection is vast whether hard or soft contacts corrective or purely cosmetic green diamond or diamond black cat green cat rip. teil i spring if i wonder how i die. scary. starting at just ten euros anyone can compliment an ensemble with likely colored people it's the first colored lenses were made by hand each pair took a week to produce that's what i did it was a test run we didn't even sell those and we just passed them on to select an

optician to you for them to show to special customers and have fun try them on your part. has passed before the colored lenses caught on and went into mass production . today jaclyn or back at over eighty years of age is back in zero six and running an online mail order company for contact lenses. it was so good to. see. thinks she's very courageous she makes courageous decisions and i like that and she's very creative which has to do with her story and i think creativity is an important factor in running a business she has lots of it. now is shocking or bankers suppliers produce their lands there's. she has good memories of the early days. of the gold standard food but i'm proud that it was little need who had the idea to do this and make it a reality. that small so at the time i never expected it to be such

a huge success so i thought he snuffled. jaclyn or box invention may be small but it has certainly changed the look of today's world. and this is a good time to let you went on this week's drop in the spirit of that series pioneering women we would like to know which woman is your personal role model just go to our website for all the details on how to participate and you could qualify to win this euro max watch as always for me in the rest of the crew here thanks for tuning in what's the again tomorrow. on the next edition of euro. all the world's a painting in a museum in nicholas baxter's food shortage krakatoa by jokes freezing carefully studied poses their performance recalls the methods used by the early for
