future. comforting megacities multimedia inside. culture. passionate drama competition rivalry marketing numbers at least here our fight that's how intuition love hate money. fans crimes files fans and fans old to go off on you tube joining us. now to keep. andrea's bought is living the dream. in his winter wonderland in sweden's lapland.

he owns a husky farm with 50 dogs. the sled dog handler better known as a moshe has lived here for 5 years. he's made love when this home along with his partner kirsten pearl or. their love of dogs brought them here. when you 1st get the sled dog bug it's very hard to stop working with sled dogs is a bit more than just owning dogs i trust the dogs and me and the dog trust me when you see this cooperation best in difficult situations and moments. you don't forget it when feelings of the moment when you've been in a snow storm a few times or been pushed to the limit and your dogs bring you home because they

trust you when you give the responsibility to the dogs. there is so much potential and this is also fun. as much last. 100 years and kirsten have been together since 1996. 2 years ago their relationship was put to the test. in late summer 2017 they decided to take on an epic challenge. norway's begbie love that sled dog race the northernmost race in the world. he meant lots of work for the pair who come from northern germany. when i used to do this for the children repairing things and sewing now i do it for the dogs i would have never dreamt of doing that before.

10 weeks before the race. the 1st snow was fallen. for andrea stanley is the start of the tourist season for john mark it will feel a little weird at 1st you think it's stable but it moves a bit but it's ok you get used to it. this. 100 earns a living by offering tourists rides that means training for the race is not always possible. when you want to rice there is a clash between training for such a big event and offering tours we want to do both we want our guests to be happy to suggest it's a. sometimes he has to train in darkness while also doing

tours. and dreyer's wants to do 3500 kilometers of training before the race every one counts the training is going well until 5 weeks before the race when cast in decides she's too stressed and busy at home to take part. in the home. we have a young couple who can help instead we have a 1000 press center faith in them but the guy doesn't know she's free to come if the girl friends he comes alone then i think it is easier if she goes with andre as i would love to but it's fine if it works out with trent. tom one of them will still have a vet so that's ok. as i think it is something you would never forget us. some on her skin is irreplaceable. what can i say.

a few days before the race francey arrives alone her partner couldn't come here. if there's tim wants to stay home to help the workers on the farm francey will support andreas in the race. make the best of it and i think the friends he is tough enough. i reckon she can keep her cool better than me i am always a big to have a excited. see when the time comes. and prayers and kirsten of train for over half are here and have sacrificed a lot now andrea as well have to face the challenge without cast in.

45 participants from 5 countries at the start of the birth of a lot better. than 3 years faces a 350 kilometer trick over the next few days. the motor and his dogs will head into norway's arctic circle for the 1st leg. ice cold winds and temperatures as low as 40 degrees below 0 celsius will push them to their limits. regular breaks will be necessary the physical strain is enormous and the dogs need to recover. mental concentration is also crucial for both man and dog.

after 5 and a half hours and 3 years and his dogs reach the 1st checkpoint invite so they've managed around 70 kilometers. and it was quite a relaxed 1st leg the dogs found their rhythm after about 20 kilometers of course it wasn't easy the quicker they lie down now and have a rest the quicker we can recover. and then we'll see. the brakes are just as important in the race as the long groans too little sleep for the dogs and the musher can have dramatic consequences. while unfair sets off again after 4 hours rest over sled dog races are taking the

1st injured dogs out of the event. andrea says no such problems and on the 2nd leg he makes some real progress. because you know that checkpoint always in the dust flew out of the checkpoint and have pushed themselves more than before we had 70 tough kilometers before at the moment things are clicking into place but we're not even at the half why point. on the next leg things continue to go smoothly. from. the partnership with france he is working well. when he rests she takes care of the dogs. but the race has left its mark on undress it is now the 3rd day and he has only

really slept for 3 hours in total. the journey through the darkness has become a real test of time with the now we've got another 105 kilometers and then my friend we can go home. it's not. the finish line is drawing ever nearer. but their stay at a checkpoint is far longer than expected. you know what often is put it shouldn't happen but it's one of those things. i got a feeling that a new who is just too tired and i went to speak to the vet and they confirmed it and the dog must be pulled out of the race you have to give the dog to your

specific handler and only then can you leave the checkpoint just for laughs and wouldn't see short in shock and often just. for. the complaint she had her phone off. and we've been standing around here for 6 hours that is 6 hours in the darkness and traders have been trying to contact francey without success the rules say only francey can take the exhausted dog. i've made a big mistake and i'm paying for it i was asleep and i put my phone on silent just out of habit. it was really bad and that's why i had missed. due to the last time the torch batteries are running low as well as the phone battery after all

those calls carrying on now is not possible 100 kilometers from the end and undresses dream of completing the race is over. i know he was extremely unhappy he put so much money into it i mean we could have had tarus here for those 2 weeks he's well aware of that himself but i know and he knows that i will totally back him again in the future i think it was here the very next day that he wanted to try it again. 4 2 years later and andreas is planning to race again with a new team he is hopeful thanks to his 2 lead dogs and trainers has a special relationship with clara and the now ari. good lead dogs are often very sensitive very intelligent. they have to find the trail in all weathers and deal with the pressure and have solid insurance. if there are $8.00 to $10.00 dogs

behind who are rushing too much then it is mentally tiring for the dogs but not every dog does that dogs like an aureole klara are a pleasure to work with. and the reason to train with. lead dogs like clara and the mary of the extended arm of the motion and the most important animals on the team. up to many of them of what. i had the experience in the past that the girls a really tough when they get in difficult situations and. the guys work hard there is nothing to complain about but when it comes to the real thing then it's often these seemingly normal female dogs who put their heads down and go through a blizzard and you stand back and think how is that possible but they just do it. andrea says dream of completing a long distance sled race lives on even once francey i decide to get next time.

is a master of the art of confrontation and this is wrong a veteran of furball come back and mean you're going to see the ox fly the undisputed champion of so formidable talk trying to frighten people no because so far everybody understands it except you enter the conflict zone and join tim sebastian as he holds the powerful to account this is a big for you whichever way you like to spin the conflict zone over. the next few days of. what keeps us in shape what makes us see and how do we stay healthy. my name is dr carlson because i talk to me to come next let's. watch them at work. and i discuss what you can do to improve your head. stay tuned and let's all try to stay.

in 16 times will you. the global corona try says you can find more information online fed's e.w. dot com and on t.w. social media channels. there if something that is not working some people decide not to see it for a lot of the palin luncheon for us all the time code using tails are you talking about bad debt or pirates why don't you put the other side to france's president emanuel macrolides to be seen as one of the driving forces for reform with the new but his efforts to change his own country around it's a serious trouble my guess this week here in brussels is his form.
