risked everything to conquer mountains previously thought to be uncomfortable. and all the while they don't know is there such in them in action. i have to always find. another chanel you know they can get the. sense of the story of the situation attracted by and they want to know by personal possession i used to be a position early us both men as well and i knew how those guys how they feel. don't know the shoots is footage around the world in pakistan he followed athletes on an exhausting expedition to the summit of a mountain that's over five thousand meters high thanks he'd spend nights just waiting to be the first to ski down its icy slopes into the valley below.

preparation both technical and organizational. that. perfect moment for me go out of my life yeah it's crazy because we're working very odd you know just to obtain one shot and we have five gunmen are warning and jumping on the water we have some stuff and you frothing on the happiness ok but two up in that lot of bad moment as well then you have to do what you have to be ready to pay the price. accidents are part of that process. jiri don't know has been chilling extreme sports since the one nine hundred eighty s. . technological developments have changed the way he works he started off using a heavy and unwieldy thirty five millimeter film camera then came digging cams which helped him get closer to the athletes and nowadays he often invents is own

actress ana should accepted the international emmy award for best performance by an actress she won for her lead in the dark comedy the sniffles would have been just fine. european productions dominated the awards this year in new york city collecting eight wins lars mickelson of denmark picked up the best actor award for bride upon the storm and the producers of the spanish thriller money heist took home the prize for best drama series it was the forty sixth time for the international emmy awards. some fifty thousand skyrockets combined in the explosion of florence italy it was a performance by chinese artist sign as a tribute to the birthplace of the renee's aunts it also signaled the opening of an exhibition of his works on friday. day at the your feet see gallery sign has said

the most innovative features ever seen in a yacht and we got an exclusive peek inside when it docked in the german harbor of . onboard twenty eighteen's sailing yacht of the year the pink gin. our first impression it's decidedly different and pretty darn cool. setting the sail on the world's largest carbon fiber sloop we quickly pick up speed thanks to the modern hydraulics and glide over the north sea at up to eighteen knots. steering such a large yet quick vessel is a challenge for captain james moore be we were fifty four metres nobody fifty for me to call them boys on the planet. so i had to sail especially in northern europe in these conditions it's a great opportunity. the captain and his crew are on their way to hamburg on the

orders of the pink gins billionaire owner hans-georg neda. the carbon fiber sailing yacht is the fulfillment of a dream for him. it's thought that he shelled out tens of millions of euros to make his dream a reality. the vessel took three years to develop a. yacht design a rough import was instrumental and he and his team invested more than one hundred thousand work hours into creating a boat that would be fast yet not scrimp on creature comforts and. if that's the challenge for us designers the shape of the hall is important to the performance but the especially except because that's what you see and you see that this boat has a very straight stem called a plumb ball that's quite modern it gives it a longer waterline a new rig out of both just look like this. there are always eight crew members on

board. including chef april oden everything in the galley kitchen has its place and there's plenty of space the chef proudly shows us where she stores her produce here we've got a very large water cooler we turn the light on but if there is a bit misleading. the walk in cooler is just one of the boats many luxuries features. here everything is elegant and one of a kind. below deck steward is a mccormick ensures that everything is just right for instance that the marano glass chandelier is sparkle and shine. she knows that first impressions count. yet so when the bus comes on board everything has to be made. again and has a lot of. the pink gin is approaching hamburg for safety's sake a marine pilot comes aboard. that's because there are power lines stretched across

the river and at sixty eight meters the pink gins mast is very tall. that could cause problems. for most rigs nowadays even big bikes are a maximum sixty four we do mainly so they get through panama canal and stuff like that so you know the bigger you make the bikes in the breaks the more limited you are on what you can go. so you know you have to think not just of the water of the hole so things above makes a difference well. it's a tight squeeze for the pink gin there's barely seven metres clearance between the top of the mast and the power lines. if the water levels were much higher than it would be impossible for the sailing yacht to pass through. the oil into. the pink jet is also so large that the marine pilot asks another passing vessel to move out of the way so he can dock the boat in one swift maneuver. and i'm going to

london. they've made it. after the crew more as the vessel they just have to sit back and wait until the pink gins billionaire owner decides he feels like going for a little cruise on the sailing yacht of the year. what do you think is typically german punctuality fos driving beer drinking a new social media series that so german will show you which stereotypes actually true. that's the sole job. one two week costume is to go for nine days pubs fun at. typically germany idiosyncracies. if we go weak

a lot of muscle went into it and i think there's a lot of sweat in it and of course history. and his way of telling this story is to turn the fabrics into fashion material is the great grandson of the miner at first to work for the marketing division of his latest soccer team shocker but in twenty fifteen he hung up his publicity cleats to pursue a dream he founded the group been held and heroes of the mind fashion label. by work original miner's shirts into the items here you see it on the hood or the belt bag the fabric gets a new function that's he collaborates with design a felicitous caspar they even use real coal from the decommissioned mines this is not a nice accord i had the good luck to start at the victoria mine just as a production ended and brought this original piece of coal out of it and the vision was born to get that original piece on to the garments the structures can be scanned in and then printed on to them as it does that us with what. they design every piece of clothing themselves here they're working on

a jacket for their spring collection which they call a lois there's a reason for that. is come out of an older married couple came into the store with a blue sack and it was a miner's jacket they said her mother had just passed away father had been a miner they took out a photo of her father which showed a minor named alleyways wearing this jacket in one nine hundred thirty eight lots of guys in backyard talk to. transform stories like that into apparel and people are taking notice in february twenty nine thousand a little start up is even invited to fashion week in new york city and of course once in the big apple a fashion designer has truly arrived. thanks in advance of ever telling the world our story i'm grateful to my great grandfather and the other miners it's been hard work but we've always been a good at it where you. have been held and make wearable memorials to the mining days of us. now from the dot depths of coal mines to the glimmering northern lights

in the past the ghostly glow was regarded as mystical or even a sign of imminent disaster i saw them once from an airplane though and landed safely and not when you will fall from the polls the best way to see them is in the photography of markos keeley whom we match for a series bright ideas. the northern lights a natural phenomenon that always casts a spell on people to talk to from kili has spent countless nights in the ice cold finish region of lapland on his quest to capture them on camera. northern lights how so beautiful on so huge sound something. from the outer space so. something like they are not from this world. marcus is famous for his pictures of the aurora borealis and he takes everything that comes with the job in his stride

for hours he waits under the open sky even in temperatures of minus thirty degrees all for the perfect picture. when he gets the chance he lights a fire in one of the nearby huts to warm up. but he never stays inside long he wouldn't want to miss the nocturnal performance the northern lights can dance across the sky for hours or mere minutes they can only be captured with a long exposure so he never knows how the photos will turn out. there is the different colors of. the northern lights greenest then there is also pink or red and yellow. but i like the pink the green is normally not so green earth you see in the photos but the pink is pink ask you three.

refer has shot more than one hundred thousand photos to date he edits them on his computer and knows just what it takes to do the lights justice. in a friend. or person or or whatever and something in the middle and then in the background there is not and. so have you created the perfect hole here to northern whites are if there is only not in life you can't think how big. marcus checks every evening to see how good his chances are of seeing the lights there visible about two hundred times a year. the other lights are created by a like trickly charged particles released from the sun that collide with particles in the earth's atmosphere and they appear stronger the closer you are to the north or south pole. good weather for the not eclipse for

a photo is that the oh you have a clear sky because the northern lights they are about the one hundred kilometers from the surface so the clouds are much slower than if there is clouds you will see it and you will not see the northern lights. it must take a special kind of person to spend hours alone in the cold hunting down the lights. i guess. no i don't know you don't need to be a special type if you get tired very early then very it's not good for you. when he finally gets a glimpse his equipment can't let him down it needs special treatment in these freezing temperatures. but when you take photos in a cold temperature about three lifetimes goes down briefly so you need to keep the batteries warm you need to have extra batteries to the can you can change one battery through your camera keep the battery. body use their body temperature to

heat the batteries i normally use keep them in my clothes. but occasionally even marcus has to rest. i go go out when very clear sky go to focus for nordic not implied. by the lock hill it's cloudy quite often so i can sleep on both night. and the nightly trips into the freezing weather have paid off his beautiful images of the northern lights amaze people all over the world. so we have time for today but we'll be back tomorrow with plenty more european lifestyle and culture here on the dog of us in the. next time on your remarks surely funding from frankfurt manhole covers and turns
