a frosty race in the icy water it's minus 12 degrees celsius outside but the locals take to the water as if it was summer. by hard working customs has led me to go in super bowl of in finland and today i'm taking part in ice winning championships the fittings trust me they are absolutely bonkers. arrived the day before the race in order to get ready for this challenge. to see how to or one of the races organizers has brought me to the local swimming club is. the. first of all i really want to know why do people in finland go into the ice cold water it gives you and in tea leaves here and all things and it's kind of

a quick way to. have a good endorphins in a way that you don't have to go travelling are just go couple of times to my squad mourner and you are you get this speeding. tells me to get warmed up in the solar that's the easy part. then it's time to show her i can pass this test the coldest bar i've ever taken. she works let anyone take part on race day without 1st making sure they can handle the cold. the water is just one degree celsius above freezing. it's painfully cold. that's really cold. you have a few. possible. that's it for today but it won't be my last tip on this trip. at the ice swimming championship we're organized into age

groups and heats there's no sauna here i can merely warm up in the changing facility it's almost time to go and i'm feeling ill prepared. michelle bachelet think i'm the boss and scream as fast as he can. i feel like a boxer heading out to face a championship fighter but i'm walking out to 25 metres of ice cold swimming my opponents mainly my own doubts and the crushing cold. time to test my mettle. by.

after 23 seconds i finished the race that was so cold that the full circle thank you very much the pain and shock are quickly forgotten though. i think i was 30 i'm not sure that you're declaring that excellent fact i think. it's because yesterday being the 1st time i may say lovely i will thank you so much for your help what you think i should do now that you stick out in the ever tough enough so they're all right. i've never enjoyed a bath small this was all so i survived i feel warm again. and this experience of jeffrey showed me that my body can maybe take a little more than i expected i don't know if i would do it regularly but i can

differ tell you finished people are a lot tougher than higher and. more adventures in our cricket custom series including a racing down a 40 kilometer long to bogun run can be found on our you tube channel the artists we're about to meet it's referred to as mini because so because the words by 7 year old sneak in a car are nothing like the ones by most kids of his age he is making a huge impression on the international obscene so we caught up with him in berlin and cologne. a little bird is making a big splash whenever mikaela car exhibits his paintings he himself is the center of attention. the artist behind these pictures is just 7 years old.

sometimes i get books from artist i look at them trace them with my fingers and just start painting. i. think a.o.l. is opening is 10 to exhibitions in berlin is painting so 46213000 euros some people are reminded of works by famous artists. make a basically make iowa has 3 role models i mean for one we have these pictures made with the dripping technique modeled on jackson pollock an action painting starting in 1406 doing some i think some fruits are done how to be and here we have the trial or speech technique definitely with gerhard richter as a famous example i'm not home and there's a stoush on the show. those are his 3 role models and guiding spirits by lighting. and they were all created with lots and lots. of home near cologne mikhail likes to spend this time in this basement studio experiments with paints and techniques.

he's never taken a course he started working in shoot a flea after his parents gave him finger paints and a compass 1st 4th birthday. the very next day he was painting. and i came home from work and saw the 1st picture about my wife had done it. she had a news and that's how it all began with that 1st painting on the phone with. the proud father posted his son's painting on facebook with unexpected results prospective buyers contacted him. paints 2 to 4 works of. he's a darling of the media in our circles together with german national team goalkeeper manual noir he painted a picture that was auctioned off to benefit underprivileged children for 11th that was a neuros. good week ale is

a painting he attends school like any other child. but it's not a school final what did you do. good art good start. his father gave up his job in a company sales department now he devotes his energy to managing his son and he tries not to demand too much. very careful to make sure it doesn't get to be too much for me. if it does we put on the brakes immediately. we don't accept all the invitation if you we get so many offers that we have to turn down money from abroad because you want to protect our child. contracts and. this time they're headed to a company where mikhail's works are turned into prints for a limited edition the young artist is painting over 5 copies of his composition billie jean an interpretation of the song by his idol michael jackson.

how does he find his inspiration. i have sometimes i have my own ideas or then i look up and these really normal ideas come into my mind from above. michael planned then i paint and i'm finished on the much of. a sunday show to point out that the next day i paint again. as a finishing touch mikhail paints a signature of each prince his father developed it for him before mikail learned how to write. the car is a brand that isn't chanted the art markets. i cannot is good for a 7 year old boy this is wild in any case she's very talented you can see that right away because the pounds up for the speakers can't wait to see where he goes from here though develop a style all his own. exhibitions in paris new york are already planned for

this little artist. and now we're off to london from some and colorful that is where the end of a tiff design studio raw edge is based its founders have just received the designer of the year award at the i am and furnishing fair in cologne let's see what makes their work so outstanding. they're movable colorful and remarkable creations of london design duo raw edges. and shy also they receive the award for their playful approach to materials and functions. we try to inspire people by ideas and then and so you only think about them ok it's going to be everything it's going to be beautiful it's going to be

a nice kind of mission with a client and then on top of 8 you get an award. then i think. exciting isn't it. both originally from israel they met while studying. there a couple professionally and in private they founded raw edges in 2009 products are a folding chair and a folding lamp for leave a ton decor for vittra and the stock drawer system 1st stablished and sons. i have a very strong interest in 3 dimensional unfolding and. she has a very particular interest in. interest in cut us so it's very it's very blaring their ways but it's. like an idea and then the other side will react to their individual approach involves sketching out patterns much like you do for clothes a couple trying to design furniture that attach to the body shape. for the kathleen

label is an example. but unique about it is that it consists of an open ear skin filled with expanding in the past with the same with with one to one side so we just. draw on a large scale of paper and. then we had like humans and then we took form and we filled the form and then this hollow paper that cannot hold the weight of a person then after it was. the word of a person. the design of the county chair for italian label moreau so it's also based on a simple idea that looks a bit like a toothpaste tube cut in half. colors of materials plate equally important roles for raw edges. the designers experiment with various techniques such as boiling wood. that gets die all through the grain

and makes the color more durable and longer lasting. shy uncle a likes to work with wood of different colors that's cut across instead of with the grain as usual. geometric patterns are formed as here in the finger stately home chatsworth house 2015. to get the end grain but then we developed this system that we called in the studio burger and sausages and wasting bag we mean that we take the friend. words. together we really need it for near in between and then we get good ones this is going to. sit through different thicknesses and then we can do it again and once we doing the 2nd stage that's what we call this sausage believe tipping is another technique the designer team has often worked with the what is different and to various dies a $45.00 degree angles yielding the herringbone pattern characteristic of rock

edges. the method works with a variety of materials. and just kind of keep walking and experimenting and have on believe. and just walking really really hard not giving up or is keeping curious and getting bored me but we do still trying to explore more not trying to get comfortable with the stack vs them and the tailored what benj have already been added to the collection of new york's museum of modern art new projects are in development one thing is certain raw edges won't be disappearing anytime soon. there are very few go mission if who specialize completely in meatless dishes here in europe there are currently only 5 vegetarian restaurants that have been awarded in michelin star the 1st shift to cook at this level using only vegeta is paul even if he runs the team in vienna and

he is able to create and you mazing dish just from something as simple as a bunch of carrots and as we are about to see he uses the green bits to. this chef knows how to make vegetables the priming gradient of gourmet cuisine. hello my name is paul and today i'll show you how to prepare a wonderful vegetarian cuisine sustainably. this dish is an almost to the humble character. ringback different from the us all of the carers this is one of things and that's one of the main principles of my cuisine we include the green bits medicines and i can make a salad out of that or as i've done here we can dry and mix and powder them. i was

to cope and so i sliced the carrots themselves and braise the mental side by extract the water so there countries in this. group then we marinate the carrot slices in a little polish vinegar and give us more modern you to be slim then we cook up the carrot shells a little and dry them because of his loss. and then we parade them nice and fine and make a deal with flour and eggs and the carrots stocked i mean i want them to fall and this final result with the carrot shavings is a grit in the shape of a honey colored he. so what looks like a honeycomb is actually made of carrot dome. in northern europe thank you terry increasing can be a challenge especially in winter when mostly tubers or types of cabbages are the only fresh ones available but vegetables don't necessarily have to be flown injuring winter the city farm is experimenting with the rides of lettuce and cabbage the can survive even freezing temperatures and the as yes without the

asians lettuces are really the hardest against frost they can thrive in the winter and survive temperatures as low as minus 15 degrees celsius even on open ground and another one that can stand frost is when. personally tonia it can withstand if least as much cold as the asian lettuces. can also feel. it it likes to draw inspiration from the city farm is especially keen on flower sprouts a cross between brussels sprouts and kale. one of my favorite vegetables. we're going to try to use the stems and the trunk and. the trunks very better. we tried to freeze it with the rest to loosen up a cell structure a little bit. and the pit inside has a very exciting taste but we're still experimenting.

back at the restaurant if each starts preparing the fresh flowers sprouts he braces some likely and deep fries others didn't say into the sun i think it's very interesting to play with the textures of vegetables and such created by the different cooking process that bring out different flavors so we have a whole new wealth of nuances and more guns on the full 2nd that i know that's what's so important to me personally and vegetable cuisine a certain size of. a barley mash compliments the nutty flavor of the flower sprouts it's garnished with flowering cabbage leaves and a burger mart sauce and the concept of the team on restaurant is dispense with meat save energy while cooking use locally grown produce and avoid waste.

this kind of sustainability can be tried at home too. in the thought of in fact self we very often have a bad conscience been sick of this for we should free ourselves about the little ones and from the pressure and remember the school that this is by think about it it's far better for every one of us to save 25 percent of them for one individual to save 100 percent on the port side. but it would be a shame if people only went to the restaurant to ease their conscience above all it's a place for gourmets who are keen to experiment. ever since $985.00 the e.u. has awarded the title european capital of culture to 2 cities in europe each year this year it's ireland's turn along with craig that the choice fell on goal way it's 50 with over $200.00 days a rain every year and an average temperature of about 10 degrees celsius and

this is how the city of go away presents itself on its festival website kind of home and yet every year go away attracts $1500000.00 tourists from all over the world we wanted to know what's so special about it. irish pubs with live music and platters of freshly called seafood. and breathtaking scenery all reasons why go it was chosen as a european capital of culture university town arlen's west coast attracts young people from around the world. but it's just so different i mean nowhere nowhere really in the states except for irish pubs i mean that's the only time we hear music like this everything is kind of medieval stone it's the harbor and the sea before everybody is so nice and the beer is amazing as well

yeah foolishly bendish it's cheerful lively and somehow feisty here and different from germany definitely the people are more open and they laugh a lot yeah. a week before the city's year is due reaping capital of culture officially began counting go away when you did with musicians and fire jugglers touring 7 of the surrounding towns with every day they came closer to go away. this is just the thing so we've got 195 events to go until next february we try any old cello festival starting environmental projects happening out in the mountains this explorations of the irish language can such a lot see as creative director helen emerges in charge of the coming program of cultural events a challenge she willingly took on for go away. go away so really an incredible place it mazing people extraordinary bounce cape and ferocious weather it's

a bit like vacillator in the rain. go away lies exposed to the full fury of the atlantic giving it an average $220.00 days of rain per year and heavy storms with the ocean in the rugged terrain also provide a bone to your treasures michelin star chef j.p. mcmullan braved the elements as he got those ingredients you. overseas. one of my favorites. is see lettuce and it's like you can see it on the rocks it's a green seaweed really beautiful eating fresh and we would dress are. readily available and go away. almost every restaurant has them on their menu. j.p. mcmahon makes an especially tempting oyster dish. they always serve has been around for like thousands of years and i think it's probably only in recent years that we've become to appreciate it more i think always people travels to go

away to taste the oyster the irish gaelic name for go away is dollars from stony river which is the river current that runs through its center. go it's been enjoying an economic boom since the 1990 s. the old center with its palms vibrant art scene as well as going ways to universities attract people the world over. to go always special shown for one spoke to schmidt he said he has lived here for 15 years. is among the big cities the nicest one of the malls. so this is attracts a lot of young people the university. $15000.00 students and the total population is about $80000.00 so that gives you an idea. it's a city with thriving youth culture
