continuing series europe correspondent masses is baking bread once again this time it's insured. now yesterday we talked about a sensational discovery by restores a. gallery a picture by the great brock must. have actually been partially painted over off to his death so why was the painting changed in the background of the painting is now paring the figure of cupid there are a number of theories emerging as to why this happened and it seems femina must be looked at in a new light. for the coast three hundred years this is how we have known goal reading a letter and window with a paywall a long ass question of what the young woman is raging now has an answer i love letter as suggested by the presence of the roman god of laughter cupid he was painted by for me at that covered up by someone else following his death. and

echoing best the discovery of the cupid which was painted by vermeer and then painted over by someone else tells us it was for me as intention that cupid be part of the painting and it this of course fundamentally changes what we know about for me or so we have to rewrite the way we understand his work. some it was more colorful and playful than previously thought the eyes of experts from all over the world are on the man responsible for the paintings restoration who is following a particular strategy. this is trying to gear see the plan is to restore the painting to its original state so the picture will be how it might have been when it left the artist's studio the inventor. of the whole process started two years ago with an analysis of the material results showed definitively that the layer of paint covering the god of love was applied after for

me is death but the real work is in the removal of that paint which is only a fraction of a millimeter thick crystal shirts will expects the job to take me years to complete this is. good or is worth going to a microscope that magnifies by around one hundred thirty to one hundred fifty times we've gotten this far if i make good progress without being disturbed too much and i can do have to to square centimeters is. right in the middle and that's per day a lot of effort for a painting that was worth so little after its creators death that it could only be solved with the help of deception it was offered. as a rembrandt which may explain why it was painted over so i know madame clientele is strange loud cupid wouldn't have fit with a rembrandt this could be the explanation that someone wanted to make the supposedly rembrandt painting more rembrandt like. voyager today even only partially restored the for me it is expected to draw many visitors to the old

masters picture gallery but only for the next two weeks after that the painting disappears back into the workshop. i'm joined now by my colleague michael kruger because a famous german comedian called satirist i should say called young. just caused a bit of an international incident in austria who is this guy. well young man has his own show here in german t.v. and pushing the boundaries is part of the game he always playing so what he did is he gave an interview in the public t.v. in austria and in it. he tested the limits of freedom of speech there you might say he was actually there to promote his exhibition in gods which has the very provocative title. this is an historical illusion is that during the third and the spelling mistakes of course tension. and in the interview he

criticizes the to go situation austria there is a far right party in the coalition government for example he said the following about the chancellor the bus crew it's just quite funny thirty two year old chancellor that's just not normal an insurance agent with a lot of jail and. yeah. yeah and of course this is a critic of the politics of the government in general don't seems if you wanted to give the views a lesson in democracy a bit of a warning he said what is identity politics some kind of excuse for being racist with an academic and economic foundation what is that entity anyway doesn't even exist so what was really a joke in the end of the interview was what the t.v. presenter set after the interview that the tenor this sensus itself from the

contents of the interview and to german is this sounds really very very strange. khalidi actually now this is not the first time a man has created an international incident is it two years ago it was president of turkey who songs and. all right but to tell you the president sense of dignity against the movement's right to free speech. what comes next is something you're not allowed to do of if this is performed publicly it would be from britain in germany almost called abusive criticism. what followed was a minor international scandal that scrapes german turkish relations or. discoloration but with a message typical of a man who has taken over is to. thank.

some of his other work includes parties of german stereotypes. making fun of the german hip hop scene. like. the first time burma has cools contrive a scene with his shows. he claimed to have faked a video of greek finance minister yanis varoufakis showing the middle finger only to admit later that he's fake was a fake the move was seen as an ingenious commentary on the often superficial nature of the modern media. is controversial part of the current problem in austria where does it go from here well. he survived even worse than that and besides his plan seems to have paid off because he wasn't even sure that they are going to

broadcast this interview they did and now everybody's talking about the situation in austria so here we go well it's exactly what he did x. second i take rigorous science very much for bringing is that story. time for our europe correspondent york masses to show his talent for baking once again and indeed his talent for making politics interesting and amusing your stress is to make the local bread of all twenty eight e.u. countries combining it with a look at the country's relationship with the u. this week it's the buckwheat loaf of slovenia. if you think it's hard work leaving the european union wait till you see what it takes to get into the club so renia became a member fifteen years ago. and soon was a role model for others wanting to become part of the european union why well

you should measure your progress with position. if the dollar a little poke if your first impression is short lived you don't know isn't ready like serbia. which has been trying to join the club for the past ten years if the whole you've made sticks you've left it's too long like the excess in talks with turkey formally started in two thousand and four they've been stalling for years. but if the dense lowly brown suspect your bread will rise beautiful the like hot air balloons on the days live in your joint with nine other states the biggest expansion in e.u. history. time to enter the e.u. and the oven ten minutes at two hundred fifty degrees celsius then reduce the temperature to two hundred and bake for another twenty minutes. slovenia really does have it all the mediterranean the alts great athletes and small guy
