but they originally come from germany. and they meet the germans rachel stewart investigates how the german language has been invaded by some english words. since 975 unesco world heritage sites have been protecting and conserving monuments natural sites and buildings that are concerted and in sensual pots of mankind's legacy this with the agreement of practically every country in the world and every year a committee from unesco mates to look at more sites from around the world that are nominated for this special global protection. you could hardly pick a better backdrop for this year's unesco world heritage media the ancient walled city of baquba the azerbaijani capital already has 2 world heritage sites. palace built in the 18th century and the 12th century made in tower this is stork setting

is where unesco members will decide what other landmarks deserve to be considered an official part of the world's cultural legacy. among germany's contenders a very insidious outscore which argues its medieval system of water management artificial canals sluices and sawmills some nearly 500 years old deserving asco recognition. it's a 12th century mining in the or mountains straddling the german czech border is also in contention communities on both sides came together to lobby unesco on the project. from the beginning on it was a project to bring together all the municipalities on both sides of the border and to give them the chance to work for the 1st time together not against each other to work together for a better development of these area on the basic over scotch will a natural richness pnas. natural richness. and natural for gelati at the center of

iceland's unesco nomination the national park includes europe's largest as well as 10 active volcanoes unesco nomination would also be a political statement the glacier is rapidly shrinking due to climate change. politics of a different kind could impact russia's bid for recognition of the historic center to scoff one of the oldest cities in russia the russian cultural ministry has warned us though it would not be fair or right if his cough was not included among this year's selections. and are joined by you all for about reports for a. unesco world heritage site sounds impression presses but they really mean anything does it matter if a site gets paid well you can yeah i mean there is a legal connection to this is well if a psych is recognised as the us a world heritage site it gives it legal protection also under the geneva convention

so it cannot be destroyed even in an act of war so there's that but also it can also have another effect in sort of revive a site i mean there's a great example. of the ancient city in the southern italy it's where the residents live in these caves in the mountainside now. years ago was really in disrepair and the italian government actually wanted to bulldoze but the residents got together and the wall between esko to name a world heritage site they got the designation and lo and behold money poured in tourists poured in the whole place was completely revived and this year just this year it was named the european capital city of culture ok but now the badge of honor if you like also comes with responsibilities to protect to maintain sinai what have happens if countries don't do this yeah ok you know he does have

a few sort of tools to enforce the the regulations around the protection of these sites they can put aside on an danger list to warn countries that they have to protect that they can even remove a site from the list but in practice it was kind of toothless i mean they don't tend to do. i mean a great example there is is venice i mean venice has been on the nasco world heritage site list since 1907 but of course venice is really threatened by these huge cruise ships these massive cruise ship see as as we see which are which which are really coming into the lagoon destroying the lagoon flooding the city with with with with tourists causing a lot of problems for locals making up some possible for locals to live in venice the locals have a lot. to remove venice from from the world heritage site list there's been a lot of protests against that but so far has hasn't really done anything they've talked about removing it but they haven't really done it has have they ever revoked

world status yet in the u.s. this entire history only happened twice what examples here in germany happen in. the elbe. river valley that runs by address and that was designated a world heritage site back in 2004 but dresden wanted to build a bridge over. which the unesco didn't want them to build it they opposed it dresden did build the bridge you know asco then pulled the plug and they removed them from the world heritage now us earlier this year the u.s. pulled out of unesco why would anyone want to pull out of something called the united nations educational scientific and cultural denies asian briefly if you will yeah well i mean united education culture science i don't know don't trump was good with any of those words but no seriously was a political decision. unesco named had drawn a palestinian cultural heritage site that offended israel who called the decision anti sematic us agreed with us and israel pulled out and you see that way what we

call cultural heritage has a lot to do with politics it always is all right all right i'm thank you very much the decisions will be made this weekend. now to the cookstown folk festival in america where you can experience the traditions of the pennsylvania dutch you started settling there of a 300 years ago incidentally pennsylvania dutch is an aside form of deutsch in other words german nothing to do with holland anyway many traditions originate from german immigrants who settled in pennsylvania including a kind of pattern of german and english which you're going to hear in a minute but 1st of all these was a cold but on styles. the stars can be spotted from a distance on many barns nestled in the hills of pennsylvania a centuries old tradition brought to america by german immigrants is now part of the local culture. tetrick don moir of cooked style and university has documented

hundreds of foreign stars in the region he believes the immigrants painted them as a reflection of their everyday lives as farmers. they thought about the stars in the sky as being emblematic of a sense of cosmic order and that's something that's very important to an agricultural people so when we see stars in the artwork of the pennsylvania dutch we can see that there's there's a narrative that runs through all aspects of life. like many in this part of pennsylvania patrick don lawyer is a descendant of immigrants from the palatine region in southwestern germany at the folk festival and on lawyer shows how to paint barn stars an art form he's trying to preserve for future generations. this particular star utilizes contrast colors of yellow and black to create edges that appear to move when you paint them many of these designs alternate the color so that they

appear to have a spinning effect. the 1st of those showcases the regions german heritage drawing 130000 visitors over the course of 90 days in the highlights are barnstormers in all different shapes and colors. german american treats and music familiar from the other side of the atlantic. even the so-called pennsylvania dutch and german dialect from the peloton region is still spoken here today by some. human mind can i can. 100 hits. of the german cultural heritage center a classroom from $870.00 which now serves as a museum as were pennsylvania dutch is still till today. idioms like.

your money for a shot from the hot cold work too hard so close to dialects of south with germany but had her dawn meyer says pennsylvania dutch has developed into a language of its own. may feel naive ato in on such broke box for television so go to so is this episode of is this all it's nice and vox and middle in the light we are in america artificial light skinned or for the right want your so when such brokers or net you should die just as all american media. over the centuries this piece of heritage has become a part of what pennsylvania stands for today the marne stars are a reminder of the many german immigrants who made america their new home the. same with language it's time to meet the germans were. all about special quirks of

the inhabitants of this country and germans do love the english language and use english words a lot but not always correctly and just to remind you there's a word that might upset our american viewers right now that we don't find rude rachel mentions it briefly at the beginning of this report so you'd be warned. welcome back to english words the germans use wrongly in part one we have advancing public viewing well they're often thought up there's plenty more where that came from here we go. in english a mob is a rowdy group of people to mob is to crowd into or around. fails for office the mob found them. then of course there's the money. but in german mobbing specifically means bullying usually at school or in the workplace. a german asks you to send them something by mail you're a little thrown hey sure there are still plenty of fans of analog you set your

house for a number though by a stamp and pop in the post box of course that turns out they actually went email english mail german mail. this is a personal pet hate the shows like to. down on inferior bread making coaches and fairness they have great bread but that does not excuse this abuse of the english language the germans call this toast i call this is the verb to toast means to cook a brown something by exposure to radiant heat toast is only toast if it's been toasted that's all this however appetizer you might find it it's still bread. we need to clear this one up if someone starts talking to you in german about a shooting don't worry that probably just talking about a photography or filming session the correct thing to shoot a very important difference. shooting star a meteorite that produces

a bright light as it passes through the earth's atmosphere the germans. did this. but the sad thing about shooting style pretty quickly. thanks rachel i'm glad. the germans. cultural.
