we begin with a beautiful story from afghanistan a country which as we're always hearing on the news is still struggling with the legacy of decades of war on terror a documentary called afghanistan is an unusual road movie about the search for the perfect wave in this war torn country after doing a movie grew up here in germany where he fell in love with surfing this incredibly positive guy now plans a project in which afghan children will learn to swim a maybe eventually get interested in finding the perfect wife. seraphim this surfing is to surrender to the moment. kind of get done. last fall to not think about what cause or what will come right for just experiencing. pure magic being at one with

nature after 2 namu loves the sport so much that he came up with an all day shifts idea to serve afghanistan. afghanistan a mountainous landlocked country this is where after 2 namu and his surfing mates hope to ride the way to this is beautiful. but. it's an incredible journey ocean's surface has brought along 2 river waves surfers the plan to put afghanistan on the surfing map. there are many reasons why we made this trip to afghanistan but one of them is definitely all the joy the support i experienced when i took part in the world cup. but other than the ones i wanted to bring to afghanistan but it's not afghanistan.

fled at the age of 5 with his family to germany he studied law and worked as an expert in constitutional law but his passion is surfing the 32 year old trains in berlin with a set skate course his aim to qualify for the 2020 lympics representing the country of his birth afghanistan. the afghanistan that i know is a beautiful afghanistan incredible unique landscapes and a hospitality that is 2nd to none. a mystic a spirituality that is ever present and with our trip we wanted to show you this afghanistan. these are show that afghanistan is much more than war terror and suffering. and light just surface travel to the pangea valley one of the few regions that were not captured by the taliban here in front of locals who have never seen

a surfboard before they climbed into the raging river. there were so many people around us children cheering us on rejoicing with us and giving us advice telling us where to go where we should try to serve so in the end it was just a euphoric experience that people were really celebrating what we were doing. so thing as a passion it's with moments like these that the film also to let the something that we don't see in the news when it comes to afghanistan it shows a closeness to the people who lived their lives despite war and terror up the search spirit as a moment of happiness so. i'm gonna support the afghans a sports enthusiast sports crazy because during the time of the taliban 1996 to 2001 it was forbidden to do sports and that's why there's a kind of counter reaction on all corners everywhere you can see people doing sport because the sport also provides the opportunity in

a way to forget about every day life i mean that in the us and. the attempts to conquer the waves becomes a spectacle again and again the surface fail but there are efforts combined with the passion of the locals is rewarded the river specialist proved what had to be proved you can see in afghanistan. what amazing guy the annual lumber design festival is an opportunity for designers to show off their large format installations in various spaces in the british capital. this year there's a real interest in socio political topics like sustainability climate change a marine pollution in the wake of increasing worries about how we are not looking after our planet and indeed ourselves designers are coming up with inventive solutions. the insulation please be seated is the new is

work of british design a pool called sage specially created for the london design festival. because we see there's about how can we create a different kind of. different moment you know and so it's a contrast in terms of kind of materials you know like this is steel and glass and structural and height and verticality this is more softer materials the undulating installation films the space completely without blocking it a place to relax for the people who would can wander in the area cox it has been developing innovative design ideas in his studio since 2004 has created a number of large format installations providing an oasis of calm for people like this one in the atrium of an office block. it's called the living staircase because it's a spiral of green and wood and everyone who moves in gets

a plant that they plant on the staircase and we've created almost like a garden where people can kind of look after the plants be around nature. this newest project please be seated is made of recycled materials the complex wood construction took 6 months to make a rectilinear design for the festival took 5 days. another festival highlight is see things created by sam jacob the cube hanging are visitors to the victoria and albert museum weighs a few tonnes and is a visualization of the effect of plastic on the oceans. runs from 1900 the origins of commercial plastic production to 2050 which is the day that the macarthur foundation have predicted that if we carry on in the way that we've been how you've been behaving as a society under 50 percent of the oceans will be will be wasted. one solution is

offered by japanese architect can go kumar his installation is constructed out of bamboo and cotton and extremely robust building material the combination of regenerative and recycled raw materials brings together innovative design and sustainability bringing large scale works that incorporate new thinking into public space is one of the top priorities for festival director ben evidence way using these bigger scale installations in public places to have an impact the issue in london is there's too much going on and we're kind of spoiled culture culturally and creatively and we're trying to fly the flag for design and tell a story and here's racial really help us do that unfortunately paul cox who just please be seated is only a temporary away says in the parceling city when the festival is over it we packed up and taken to a new high and. the biggest beer festival in the world gets
