i would have gone on the train with a view that would not have put myself and my parents on what i'm trying to do about it it's a gimmick to put you to sleep with. love on sunday because that one little piggies and i have serious problems on a personal level and i was unable to live their lives i'm going to. want to know their story fully groups terrified and reliable information for more prints. that. everyone wants another exciting edition of euro max with me or host meghan lee we've got lots of ground to cover there right to it here's a look at what's coming up. freestyle extreme athlete benedictum meyer tears of up

on the slopes. fast food to the top chefs shows us how to cook duck breast for christmas in just five minutes. and the jazz age of reliving the flooring twenty's in style. we kick off today show with one of germany's exceptional free styling talents benedict meyer well for him normal slopes just won't cut it he continuously pushes his limits by conquering the steepest mountains or the narrowest of peace meyer's talents took him to the olympics in sochi in two thousand and fourteen or freestyle scaling skiing knows no limits and when you watch myron x. and you will see that he knows no limits either so let's take a look now and you'll see what i mean.

german freeskiing of benedict my ass sets off on his terrifying descent down italy's steep stelvio pos. together with his friend marcos ada from south to roll he crosses the mountain road nineteen times with daring acrobatic jumps this footage was actually filmed last summer. but milan has only just released it now. it was challenging because it was incredibly steep and made it so little snow that meant we couldn't make any mistakes are jumps had to be perfect and we had to keep up our momentum so as not to slide down the mountain the descent took just three minutes but the preparation took two years. it took several months just to get the snow ready with the help of excavators and snow grimace still below pass connex italy's long body region of the south to roll it's

italy's highest mountain pos at an altitude of more than two thousand seven hundred fifty meters the winding mountain road is special to. the road is legendary because of the way it is and how it was built after driving up while he's built carsick because of the many advances that stayed in my memory 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 his experience already as a child he enjoyed trying out new scheme moves over the years he grew to become one of europe's finest free riders and in twenty fourteen he was the only german to take caution the newly created slope style competition at the winter olympics. and the course was already there and we could decide for ourselves how to ride. it

was up to us which tricks we wanted to perform whether to spend left or right somersault or not it's a really creative sport. benedick soon felt the rules of the new lympics freeskiing discipline was stifling his creativity so he set off the iceland and alaska to ski through pristine untouched nature far from regular ski slopes. it was. special being up on top of a mountain all by yourself. you know that your descent will be a unique experience. like in alaska for example that was very internal because these are mighty mountains after all but it's possible to use the fear and to tell yourself you'll give it a go anyway otherwise everyone to be free right so you know there's an element of fear involved sure. sounds with the. bottle

benedict smile lights to keep pushing the boundaries of free speech he keeps thinking up new and more extreme tricks and jumps 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 or the 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. three riding over to still be a pos is certainly a highlight in benedict minus sporting for me to date but that unusual trip has

also given him many new ideas for the wild adventures in the snow. more lane has a new star attraction that plus the dramatic life of a sixteenth century scottish queen hits european screens those stories and more coming up in today's express. the film mary queen of scots had its european premiere in london on monday. on the red carpet where lead actress searcher ronan and margot robbie the betrays elizabeth the first film had its world premiere in the u.s. last month. the historical drama explores the life of mary stuart the range over scotland in the sixteenth century she was beheaded for allegedly plotting to

i'm taking a duck breast which normally should be cooked slowly until it reaches an inner temperature of sixty to sixty two degrees celcius are used 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 on a farm 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 me outside the zone last year so don't know why you post so here we have some butter a staple in traditional kitchens and once again we melt it in a hot pan we're serving kale with our duck people usually no kale that's been cooked to death cool but we have some here that spread really fresh fix when it's still smalls you can buy it everywhere you lies the problem is simple so then we put a bit of butter into the frying pan and add a bit of sugar was 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 all this is as nothing more that involves medicine this sort imo so here we have some oranges which i think go great with dr king but i think everyone knows that you know cut them into segments and ones life 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. without fortunately stitching. the science or you just have to make sure that it's covered with voters and there isn't a bit of the tail needs to be glazed but not cooked to death all sizes it should retain its shape and eye 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 that some of the now bird duck here let's turn of the heat a little then add a bit of salt. a little mystery guys all. you get here are sauces reducing so all. of this or calles done for full try and put it to the side and then add it to the duck just before serving it into the gulf 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 the senate and house are dovetailing. wilson in this country what's very important if you can is to look around and buy

your duck breast from good local farmers but of course you can find it in every supermarket especially around christmas time you can also buy it frozen. that is good and let it fall well in the refrigerator and then basically do what i do but slower and not so while it will in the future 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 a list of the cutting board away clayton place so where should we start the woman finally has 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 me down and that's ok for you the new spoon now i really have to hurry the list so i'd never do this in a restaurant but it's fun oh yes there's the kale and now add a little sauce since

a lot of that it's really important that the spices stay in the pans he doesn't see what's in hopefully in spite of everything it'll still look appetizing holes in both of which it was different than you will 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 decide. pretty amazing there are i what images come to mind when you think of the typical german well maybe our new face book series that so german will give you some ideas there's more. than. one to be called. hopes from.
