demming credibility. or a. long term. relief w. a. fascinating underwater worlds your next reporter hendrick dwelling visits europe's biggest aquarium and encounters many different features. and with that welcome to max here's a look at what else we have coming up on the show. skateboard with can this

girl become the youngest german competitor at the olympics. swedish christmas menu but the swedes traditionally like to play golf. but 1st we need an artist who creates beautiful and the witching mosques had named as mysterious as her artworks damsel frau for her it means having 2 contradictory sides and putting on a mosque is a bit like putting on another self let's take a peek behind the mosques off the london based artist. is it tribal art folklore a sham mine's trackings or a combination of all of these. and who is the creative spirit behind the masquerade . my name is morgan health canada i'm in

a region artist living in london and i work with masks. it all began in 2007 when martin held kennedy alias the damsel frau moved to london she sewed her own club outfits and soon added the masks she taught herself how to embroider so and adorn clothes some of the masks only took her a day to make others she worked on for years. i don't know where this one is going it will probably turn into quite a different looking thing at the end of it again that's kind of the thought system not not plan i don't draw i don't design. work with the materials and don't sort it out for me. she calls the masks on the shelves her gang and they do seem to take on a life of their own even getting individual names as soon as they're completed.

this one is called a rule it was initially to me quite broke so like well coco as the name comes from this guy's a fairly new one. which was difficult to get to i just have these materials that i really want to use and it wasn't communicating that well to me it's hasn't got a name yet he might not be finished i'm not sure this one's called venture. window i just want to try this square format a mask that is outside the mask. mark until kennedy gets inspiration for her masks right outside her door in london's east and. london's been an important part of the work it is very inspirational it has people from all over the world it has material from all over

the world. and there's a freedom to how people and how they live their lives. which is a very. strong influence. she often returns from her strolls with something she's picked up somewhere. her studio is like a treasure trove. when i buy lemons and limes i keep that they come in but that will be useful. old sorry ribbon and trimming. there are some things i found at the carpet some things i go and pay lots of money for this all came out of a dumpster up the road crystals good ones as well these are fruit bags

from the sixty's and they've been laying around so i didn't know what to do with them and i just had this hunger for color and i popped into all my colors and just made these kind of simplistic but clear. and in my head futuristic color exercises. when she's finished a mask she snaps a photo of herself with it on and posted on instagram under the moniker damsel she has over $100000.00 followers. these are objects that are physical things and they have their own. life. mark until kennedy carefully composes her mask photos she never wears the mask or any other occasion she's happy when others get creative with them and musicians

artists and photographers are thrilled to do so. a young woman in the next report doesn't wear a mosque but rather a helmet that's required and her daring sport defines us as a state border in fact a very talented one had a chance to take part in the summer olympics in tokyo it's looking good and the most amazing part is she's only 12 years old that's made the german with kid. i can't offhand mean skateboarding is on the one hand something i want to do professionally and later on earn money with. on the other hand it's just my hobby and i have fun doing it. again. least of facias is germany's best skateboarder live at the tender age of 12 she's a 2 time german champion now she's heading for the olympics and won't let anything

knock her off balance. months sometimes i go to the skate park and the boys look at me funny because i'm a girl. but i don't let that bother me at all let me. hear. the young berliner trains up to 4 times a week. the 1st time you were just a tick faster. you're going hot is a german national skateboard coach and louise mentor he pushes her to test her limits. us but that was a trick that takes a little bit more daring she didn't always make it but now she's practicing the trick on the next level and that's exactly what you have to do to get better fast today because you have. her father oliver is always on hand. he's been skateboarding for over 40 years himself. he started lily and her little sister torah on skateboards when they were just

a few years old at 1st it was just for fun. all i knew was that it was a hobby or a sport that i had lots of fun doing one where you can express your creativity and of course i didn't want them to miss that at the start nobody thought it would develop in the direction of a competitive sport they could have also said no i just want to take the skateboard to roll down to the bakery thank you so comfortable school security. but now the least of facias sliding from one competition to the next and on to the german championships in dusseldorf. she still goes to school but is on the road 3 or 4 months out of the year. thanks we should actually been in china and in the usa i've been almost everywhere in europe and it's fabulous because you get to see almost the whole world just as one that is eagerly since skateboarding will be an olympic sport for the 1st time at

the 2020 summer games in tokyo so this coming ever closer to her goal of taking part. by european standards she's one of the best and by international standards she's right where she needs to be to qualify for tokyo. so it's definitely reachable for her mother does this fizzy do it was tough for. public interest in her to reach new heights if she ends up going to the tokyo olympics then aged 13 she'd be the youngest german olympic competitor ever. wealth if i qualify i'd like to be able to enjoy it and not feel like i have to make it to the top 10 or something. else in 4 years when i'm 17. i might qualify again and then maybe i could start thinking about bringing back a metal plate. full of plates oh and then we die you'd think.

the decisive qualification phase begins in february then once again facias will be spending more time on the road than school fortunately the tokyo olympics will be held during the summer vacation. let's hope that dream of qualifying for the olympics will come true a different kind of dream came true from my colleague kendrick welling he wanted to discover the underwater world in more detail and he didn't even have to get wet to do so he encountered fish that some divers wait years to catch a glimpse of and he could even touch some where in europe's biggest aquarium it has 1600 species including a very elusive treach or. in

monterey and the magical on the water world. i'll go to the ocean but i'm very rarely after chance to dive into the marine seeing sharks close up. feeding the monterey and stroking fish. things i've always. known as the cop francis national sea center boasts the largest public aquarium in europe it's a gigantic tank filled with 10000000 liters of water. the star of the show is the monterey bay the largest species of ray in the world even the building's design was inspired by the monterey. center is located in. right on the english channel in northern france.

the city is the biggest fishing port in the country and home to about 1600 ocean species. is a world that visitors can literally dive into a. tourist stiffen in the center's director of a curry all edgy and help creating the noise the concept. that everybody seems to be that you can stick around here this time is devoted to that showing the beauty and also the french it that's the need to try to preserve the potential of this magnificent place the guy says who 1st. much of this magnificence is displayed and explained here. is much more than in the query i'm it is an education. and research center. with some 60000 species that i can get to know at myer

and even stroke. the ecosystem of the big tank is similar to that of the specific off the coast of colombia. monterey's that they're too but here they are fed by hand. i'm giving this 13 kilos of crap korto. great job and a lot of the time they don't. it is very impressive to watch this women it's very peaceful it's also very powerful it's very very beautiful animals we have the chance to that's a. month or is can be up to 8 metres long this one is only 2 metres long but it's still young. stuff are allowed to get even closer. they can

observe the elements better up close and make sure that they're doing ok. they also have to clean the tank. and sometimes entertain the visitors. that's what the sea lions do as well here are 6 of them showing off just skills. but they're primarily here for research purposes the keris have to make sure that the wild animals are obeying their commands so that researchers can get close without being in danger and put you just hope that we can observe the behavior and physiology of the sea lions here much better than the nature. and the shock researchers on the california coast for example don't have permanent access city animals nope. they might see it as a tell you got my dose. i am heading back to the aquarium.

you have a big muntari coming close to every single visit die of else sometimes wait for the whole life for that's and the every single visit has what's made it diverse sieging for you yes and yes so that's also the magic of that's bringing that kind of experience to. know and well being of the. impressed with the most here is this huge thing i never thought i'd get such a good impression of life on the water i think it's so fascinating that i could just watch for hours of the war.

a boat. and we had our seasoning cloves. and cinnamon. floating ready. we don't use too much because it's very strong in flavor and the dinner is rather spices so if you want to you can add much to get the powerful. but heaping portion of sugar helps sweeten the holidays. 2 or 3 slices of apple give it a fruity europe ok. the next step is to heat it up of course i want to just barely boil it and then we want to leave it simmer for a while and so we can get a taste out of the seasoning as much as possible. it's heated to just under the boiling point for 15 minutes if it boils the alcohol starts evaporating then it strain and it's ready to serve. we do serve it with some races and

we put the raisins. in the cups and also i have. chopped. i would put us in the cup too. many swedes like the bloke on the stronger side for them. spikes the hot wine with cognac but as often with alcoholic drinks less is more. heating your body from inside we need in the cold winter. during sweden's winter wagner make sure there's plenty of the piping hot spirits in his restaurant the star chef is a native of austria but he's embraced sweden's christmas holiday customs. to christmas. is the most important thing for the swedish christmas week terry's. and of course we eat the christmas. onions started with cloves bay leaves and white pepper to the broth with the cured ham. depending on
