this town in northern finland is playing host to 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 one of the customs let me tell you in a super bowl of in finland and today i'm taking part i swim a championship in the frames trust me they are absolutely. i've arrived the day before the race in order to get ready for this challenge. to see how tier one of the races organizers has brought me to the local swimming club like you. know.

first of all i really want to know why do people in finland go into the ice cold water it gives you an entry into and all things and it's kind of a quick way to. have a good end of things in a way that you don't have to go tramping or just go couple of times to my squad mourner and you are you get this speeding. tells me to get warmed up in the sauna 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. oh. that's really close. you have

a few. puffs. but that's it for today but it won't be my last tip on this trip. to 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. for this so basically i'm the boss and scream as fast as he can. i feel like a boxer heading out to face a championship fight 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 guard led. up to 23 seconds i finished the race that was so cold that the so called. area was the pain and shock are quickly forgotten though. i think i was 30 but not sure that i did it credible excellent thank you thank you very much . because yesterday being the 1st time mason lovely i will thank you so much for your help what you think i should do now that you stick out in there were tough enough ok so they're all right. i've never enjoyed a boss more of the world so i survived i feel warm again and this experience is

different 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 many 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 scene 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 artists i look at them trace them with my fingers and just start painting. i. see carol is opening is 10 to exhibitions in berlin this painting so 46213000 euros some people are reminded of works by famous artists. make basically 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 fruits or. b. and here we have the trial or speech technique definitely with gerhard richter as a famous example when i'm home and there's a stoush on the show. those are his 3 role models and guiding spirits by lightning

. and they were all created with lots and lots of fun. a whole new cologne mikail 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 canvas 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 that 1st painting. with. the proud father posted his son's painting on facebook with unexpected results prospective buyers contacted him. calle 2 to 4 works. 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 411000 euros. good mikhail is a painting he attends school like any other child. but he sure was school for finding what to do. good art good start but. his father gave up his job in a company's sales department now he devotes his energy to managing a 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 extend all the invitation is you we get so many offers that we have to turn down money from abroad because you want to protect our child. and my constituents and. this time they're headed to a company where macau those 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 this 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 and. michael and then i paint and i'm finished on the much of. that show to. the next day i paint again. as a finishing touch mickael paints a signature of each prince his father developed it for him before mikhail learned how to write. we can know a car is a brand that isn't chanted the our markets. say i cannot is good for a 7 year old boy this is why i don't in any case she's very talented you can see

that right away. the pounds up for the spring just can't wait to see where he goes from here now develop a style of his own. exhibitions in paris i'm still in 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 edges 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 after they receive the award for their playful approach to materials and functions. we try to inspire people by ideas and then you only think about the ma

kids going to be everything is going to be beautiful 'd going to be a nice kind of mission with a client and then oh wait you get an award. 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 folding chair and a folding lamp for leave a ton decor for vittra and the stacked drawer system 1st stablished and sons. i have a very strong interest in 3 dimensional unfolding in. a very particular interest in we both have very strong interest in cut us so it's very it's very blaring the boundaries but it's. like an idea and.

individual approach involves sketching out patterns much like you do for clothes the couple try to design furniture that attach to the body shape. the tailors would bench for the can't believe the label is an example. but unique about it is that it consists of an open ear skin filled with expanding foam in the past the same with one to one size so we just. draw on a large scale of paper and. then we had like humans and then we took the phone and then this hollow paper that cannot hold the weight of a person then after it was found. there were the full press and. the design of the county chair for italian label moreau so is also based on a simple idea it looks a bit like a toothpaste tube cut in half. colors and materials played equally important roles for raw edges. the designers

experiment with various techniques such as boiling wood. that gets di all through the grain and makes the color more durable and longer lasting. shy oakley 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 english stately home chatsworth house 2015th. to get the end grain but then we developed this system that we called in the studio burger and sausages and wasting bags we mean that we take the friend of words we together we really mean for near in between and then we get good ones this is good we slice it through different thicknesses and then we can do it again and once we're doing the 2nd stage that's what we call this sausage leave tipping is another technique the

designer team has often worked with the wood has dipped into various dyes and 45 degree angles yielding the herringbone pattern characteristic of rough edges. the method works with a variety of materials. and just going to keep walking and experiment and have on believe. just walking really really hard not giving up or is keeping curious and getting bored me but we do so trying to explore more not trying to get comfortable with the stack versus them and the tailored what bench 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 ifs 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 chance to cook at this level using only vegeta is paul he runs the team in vienna and he is able to create and 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 imaged and today i'll show you how to prepare a wonderful vegetarian cuisine sustainably. this dish is an almost to the humble carrot. ringback different from the it's 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. and i can make

a salad out of that or as i've done here we can dry and mix and counter them and i was to cope and so i sliced the carrots themselves and braise the mental soft extract the water so their countries in this. group then we marinate the carrot slices in a little proposed this vinegar and give us one night in you to be slim then we cook up the carrot shavings a little and dry them because one of his lawyers. and then we parade them and i say my fine and make a deal with flour and eggs and the carrot stock i mean i want them cotton for and this final result with the carrot shavings is a grit in the shape of a honey collet he. so what looks like a honeycomb is actually made of character. in northern europe vegetarian cuisine 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 in during winter the city farm has experimented with the rides of lettuce and cabbage the can survive even freezing temperatures and the as you said at the scene the asian lettuces are really the hardiest against frost if they can thrive in the winter and survive temperatures as low as minus 15 degrees celsius even on open ground another one that can stand frost is why. personally i. think it can withstand as least as much cold as the asian lettuces. can also. if it likes to draw inspiration from the city farm is especially keen on flowers a cross between brussels sprouts and kale. so what's mine is 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 the cell structure a little. 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 constraints saying to us and i think it's very interesting to play with the textures of vegetables and fish created by 2 different cooking process that bring out different flavors so we have a whole new wealth of nuances and more guns on the full set and i know that's what's so important to me personally and vegetable cuisine and says i think you can . do a garley mash compliments of the nutty flavor of the flower sprouts it's garnished with flowering cabbage leaves and a burger mart sauce and the concept at the teton restaurant is dispense with meat save energy while cooking use locally grown produce and avoid waste. and.

this kind of sustainability can be tried at home too. in the thought of in fact self we very often have a bad conscience and one sick of this would prefer we should free ourselves about the little ones and from the pressure and remember the school matthew says 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 martin $85.00 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 ship the choice fell on goal weight
