legendary because of the way it is and how it was built after driving up while he's felt carsick because of the many bands that stayed in my memory is just so i thought i want to do something here. the twenty nine year old manages to skate in the stream a challenging environments because he has years of experience already as a child he enjoyed trying out new skiing moves over the years he grew to become one of europe's finest free riders and in twenty four changed he was the only german to take caution the newly created slope style competition at the winter olympics. forgiveness in the course was already there and we could decide for ourselves how to ride it it was up to us which tricks we wanted to perform whether to spin left or right somersault or not it's a really creative sport. benedicts soon felt the rules of the new

olympic freeskiing discipline was stifling his creativity so he set off for iceland and alaska to ski through pristine untouched nature far from regular ski slopes. it was all. that special being up on top of a mountain all by yourself. you know that your scent will be a unique experience. like in alaska for example that was scary turtle because these are mighty mountains after all but it's possible to use that fear and to tell yourself you'll give it a go anyway otherwise every want to be free right so you know there's an element of fear involved sure. sounds with a you know. benedict model likes to keep pushing the boundaries of free speech he keeps thinking up new and more extreme tricks in

johnson county documents his efforts on film. you don't always want to do the same thing well in this sport imagination is essential because without it nothing can develop that's our new tricks new jumps come about each person sees a mountain differently that first the stelvio pass project was just an idea in my head you have to imagine how something like that could look when you put it down on paper and in the end you stand there and it's reality and then you have to see it. pretty writing over to still be a pos it's certainly a highlight in benedict minus sporting career to date but that unusual trip has also given him many new ideas to further wild adventures in the snow.

bear born at byrne institute of punk soon on december the first has reached its first milestone it's now drinking eleven times a day and mother tanya is taking good care of her cub zookeepers i'm happy with its progress though they have stayed away from the birthing den to avoid in danger and the young animals life it will take another eight weeks before a vet can ascertain what the billions knew as polar bear is male female. in iceland the usual that are underway under thirteen days before christmas thirteen of these your lives for now as they're known in icelandic come to town one by one. here these traditional figures from icelandic folklore are being portrayed by actors every day new you learn derives from the mountains until they're all together on christmas eve. still they're not the most pleasant of characters each one is a prankster with a negative trait like swiping sausages or stealing leftovers from pots.

continuing now in the theme of christmas traditions and this time of year is great for get togethers with lots of food but if you want to avoid spending lots of time in the kitchen preparing holiday meals then chef robin. yes the recipe for you today he shows us how to repair a main course for christmas in just under five minutes now how extraordinary is that. to market secrets that and today i'm going to make the quickest christmas stuck around i'm taking a duck breast which normally should be cooked slowly until it reaches an inner temperature of sixty to sixty two degrees celsius reduced but i haven't got that long so i'm going to cut off

a few slices and sauté them on both sides though not too long or the middle become dry and we don't want that to happen in the form so a put in a bit of olive oil in the pan or butter i'm a big fan of butter then when it's hot the meat goes into the hands at home take time to make good food that's important but here i'm showing how fast things can go get the outside result in a stupid little number you blew so here we have some butter a staple in traditional kitchens and once again we melt it in a hot pan were serving kale with our duck cool people usually know kale that's been cooked to death cool but we have some here that's fresh really fresh and fix when it's still smalls you can buy it everywhere from a few hours of. visible so then we put a bit of butter into the frying pan and add a bit of sugar always so it can be brown or white sugar and then we let it karma lies very quickly for. simple tools and you need to keep an eye on the temperature add a bit of salt and that's it this is our it's nothing more that's false ms english

sort of normal so here we have simple oranges which i think go great with the can but i think everyone knows that you know cut them into segments i haven't got that much time so they'll be a bit chunkier. then toss them into the frying pan so it doesn't take that long. luckily i only have to make one dish at home to take your time so good food takes time all sides. to guns in the marketplace and padded dash of porches to make a sauce for the kale should still be really crisp like it is here. cordoned off which will this disconnect the science or you just have to make sure that it's covered with water but there isn't a bit of the kale needs to be glazed but not cooked to death full size as it should retain its shape and right and still be crisp in the end of the sign so you add a little sugar and in the few minutes we have left we'll try to make a sauce out of it to make it a bit more christmassy a little cinnamon a little star a nice and

a few clothes so some of now duck here let's turn up the heat a little then add a bit of salt. a little mystery guys all. you get here are sauces reducing things off. of the shore or calles done for who tries to put it to the side and then add it to the duck just before serving the ends of all here are sauce needs reducing a little more so you can always add some honey. that binds the sauce together a little bit sometimes and sam and house are tough doing. well today most is going to be what's very important if you can is to look around and buy your duck breast from good local farmers people but of course you can find it in every supermarket especially around christmas time where you can also buy it

frozen. so. let it thaw well in the refrigerator and then basically do what i do but slower and not so wild. in the freezer. so you will see save the duck is done super let's look at our sauce it's almost done there's not much left so much time to start serving on least that's what i mean for the way clayton place is so where should we start the woman from as a. name and with the duck breast. the spoon. one two. three i know you can see there's a little juice coming out of the mint that's ok for you the new spoon now i really have to hurry this i never do this in a restaurant but it's fun oh yes there's the kale and now add a little sauce as insoles so it's really important that the spices stay in the pans does it evolves in hopefully in spite of everything it'll still look appetizing. of

which it was this an old don't you'll then come the oranges that were cooked with the sauce and go on top of one two three to make it a feast for the eyes garnish it with marigold or a flower that's in season i bet i've beaten the clock. to this earth. pretty amazing there are i what images come to mind when you think of the typical german or maybe our new face book series that so are german we'll give you some ideas there's more. than. one to be called burn them this pokes fun. typically germany idiosyncrasy. something to go germany. i don't know

in blackpool she found little pleasure at the pleasure beach amusement park avoid the isle of dogs i even though everyone's there to escape from their daily routine to relax there's little joy in the air. this woman for example she's leaning against this pillow holding her bag and looking up when she looks completely lost as if she's freezing or something on asms if i had to ask myself what's happening in blackpool i found myself asking this question all the time it's like a story is being told behind the scenes. into the coolies and that's wrong. for photos show the disillusionment and frustration of britain's working classes who've suffered from government cutbacks and feel they've been left behind socially and economically. today blackpool draws the needy people who might have voted for bracks it purely out of protest people who long to forget their poor and unemployed just for one weekend many come looking to recapture the light hearted days of their

childhood. as gifted the lot of us about this sense of returning to their childhood there's the old tram the horse drawn carriages the way the children their dress with the boat in their hair in the skirts. among the it's kind of like the people want to retreat to the good old days at least subconsciously with. support it shoots from the hip to capture the moment in all its intensity she grew up in russia in the us her images of blackpool are often blurry but rich in contrasts and cleverly composed they've been published in her book forty eight hours blackpool which was played i have to react without thinking too much and if i spend time searching for the perfect angle the moment will be lost and so you hunt look and shoot and often you see something before you realise what you've seen is in hot. so
