ironically going to another edition of your own actually i'm your host meghan lee now there is a good reason why i am literally hanging here in the balance on a portable ledge more about that soon but 1st here's a look at what else we've got coming up. find out how gold leaf is still produced by hand in venice giving. candid meta multitalented british musician who feels of close connection to nature. today we kick off the show from a different perspective now i am sitting up here and i'm in a mobile foldable bed for mountaineers now it's practical for anyone who might be out climbing for days and in need of a place to sleep so if there aren't any accommodations in the area they can simply

attach this bed to any ledge and spend the night under the stars well you might ask who would actually want to do this hero max reporter axel prima vaizey was a willing volunteer. and. if it's really. this is the place where i'm going to spend the night i don't know if i can handle this. i will spend the night hanging off a rock cliff and the adventure begins with a hike i'm on my way to the local mountain in the northern part of austria with my kite mark was pulled into. the summit is $1500.00 metres above sea level. of familiarity

and i'm scared scared is fine ok. first i practice abseiled ing down the steep cliff i need to master this so i can get down safely to my part a legislator of. marcos also shows me how to get back up again of course. looks really easy paddy bam i. am. ok. at this point it's a vertical drop off nearly 200 meters. from. the head of up sailing so back up our goal. universe. now let's build my bed it's called a part of it and it's

a frame made of aluminum tubes covered with the surface of marlin fabric this is what professional climate is used to spend the night on steep rock faces that can be climbed in one day. now we're going to connect. the plank a. to rail to the out the site. just to hear. one to. make sure oxen that you do it right because yes it's late. it's your exactly what is in some heads. yeah this is pretty much it actually so this is it my bet for tonight. marcus make sure the part of it is safe to the clips. you have is that actually. it looks scary from out of here takes a few minutes and it's getting better and ok don't worry actually i'm claiming the best for you thank you that it's time for you ok to be honest right now i don't

think if this is a good idea but i'm going to try to anyway but i'm really getting scared now the big moment has arrived i am so down to my high altitude bed and take off my shoes of course because at home i would be wearing them to bed either. right. but. it looks so easy when he was setting it up. to pull in ok. city here myself just a complete different story. as the sun goes down temperatures soon begin to drop time to get some shots.

so i'm staying in the harness the whole night and i'm still attached to this rope which is fixed up there so even. if the part allege flip over are confident about ok so everything's safe and if i may get scared in the night. i brought me little companion and he's of course. security as well so good night. it's not only my 1st night on a rock face it's also my 1st time ever sleeping under the open sky.

good morning. time to wake up. all. morning morning how you doing ah ok this. marcus 1st brought some coffee to sipping some hot brew and taking in these stunning view what a glorious start to the day. yes so this was really one of the most exciting nights i ever had in my life i mean i did sleep well i wasn't scared at all during the night of course it's not that comfortable but see the stars in the night and waking up with this view i mean it's priceless. unbelievable the use of gold leaf in paintings decorative arts and architecture

dates back thousands of years but it's becoming increasingly harder to find han beaten gold leaf in today's day and age and that's because producing it this way is a fading craft for example in venice in the year 7800. there were 300 so-called gold beater's today however there is only one family dedicated to this ancient tradition there we visited the mario bear to the lord a studio to see how they are keeping their gold leaf business alive. much of what clippers here is indeed gold for centuries venice has flaunted its wealth with this precious metal. now very few craftsman's shops are left that work gold by hand. in the many got so family runs one of the world's last gold beating shops under the name madea better

come back you know to. that you don't really need that much strength for this work . it's all a question of technique your technique actually helps you work with less effort. that's important because depending on how thin the gold is supposed to end up it will take anywhere from 50 minutes to 2 and a half hours to hammer it out. to the purest $24.00 carat gold is now kid at over $1000.00 degrees celsius and cast as a small bar which by itself has a value of about $6000.00 euros. ludicrous though this little gold bar is about 120 grams depending on the thickness required of the gold leaf we can make 80026000 pieces from it and you know for you. first the gold is

passed through a rolling mill several times pressing it thinner each time it's rolled into a longer then heated over and over and put through the mill again. restored it go to the colors nice and yellow you know the gold is pure. the hue tends towards a reddish you know it's an alloy no. it might then contain silver or a little copper if you see the. when the gold ribbon is several metres long it's cut into lengths folded and cut again into little squares saddam in a godso lays these between sheets of parchment to separate them during the beating . a packet consists of 331st they're beaten with a machine and then quartered once more and then there worked with

a hammer. to market it out but. the final step is the hammering this is how gold leaf was made in venice a 1000 years ago at that time there were no machines to help with the heavy work. hammer ways to kilos almost nothing this one weighs 4 kilos so it's a bit heavier but for me that's nothing that 8 kilos well this one's pretty heavy. the hammering produces thousands of these gossamer leaves a single leaf weighs barely as much as a hair many god so hopes this age old craft may be passed on to the next generation . is all it's a great responsibility because this very special work is in danger of dying out and that's not a nice thought that this could one day just be forgotten. forces that . are restore and gilder a lease up at the mouth song uses

a great deal of madea better. gold leaf in her workshop. it takes a steady hand and the right conditions to work with this delicate material. even a gentle breeze could ruin everything. difference between and dust really produced and hand made gold leaf is the norm and the industrial gold leaf is much thinner and more fragile it's really hard to do good work with. the leaf tears easily and in the end it just doesn't look as good as the hand made gold leaf it is with. the. angel atop st mark's company is among the works restored using gold leaf from audio better. thanks to an age old handicraft the queen of the adriatic

shines on. british composer and musician cosmo sheldrake is a instrumentalist who uses nature as his inspiration while the chirp of a bird for example can serve as the source for his musical creations now it's hard to put sheldrake's music into one category but we accompanied him on location to see how he captures the sounds for his musical collages. british musician kosmos sheldrake feels a deep connection with nature and the songs he composes are inspired by the world around him he works from a small solar powered studio deep in a forest in southern england. to learn to play the piano at age 4 today he plays over 30 different instruments his 2nd album wake up calls features

a range of bird samples. you know chop the sounds out and arrange them a sampler so i can trigger back different elements of what i've recorded in and then start to kind of color those sounds together and build the enter piece of music. whenever he can the 30 year old explores his lush the roundings 'd 'd hunting for sounds to sample. 'd nature to me i guess just means a celebration of life is just. one of the songs i write is life has a passion for living and i think it's just. it's just true isn't it just being a natural place you just get that sense of just life bursting forth from becoming constantly. it's very hard to know what inspires. inspires me it just seems to arrive sometimes on the wind maybe. so i'm recording the sound of the wind in the gorse bush it's

quite a chaotic kind of howling. gusty sound and i'm making a piece of the moment involved when. you can tell so many stories and through a piece of music or through sounds. that would take you know books to explain. because no music is like poetry. he's played shows in many different corners of the world and he has a soft spot for performing in nature. i mean i love playing outside. i for. one of my favorite things that seem to play to places of the people i think it's just as important to perform to in places and

to places but often i'll go to a place i record sounds from that place make a piece of music and then take it back to the place and perform it back in the place i think places can listen to music i i'd like to think it could and i certainly believe that the creatures in the place is going to music. and. i'm seeing. a change right june june with. far our 5 fry in. the cosmos music is an ode to the beauty of our natural environment which like his music never ceases to amaze. return our attention now to berlin which is a top address for international cuisine but anyone who comes here would be missing

out if they didn't try the famous or the infamous corrie forest now you may just think it's a simple hotdog with a special spicy catch up but it is a much more complicated than that for a layman curry versed is prepared and served in different ways which determine the quality and taste we take a closer look now at the production of curry burst in and around berlin and what makes it so special. this isn't working man's food it's not trendy food it's for everyone it's food for the homeless and the president alike of the dentin 100. there may be life without curry worst but in our case it wouldn't have much meaning. for me to reach the curry worst is the best way in the world to pay gout that it.

will eat curry worst at any time of the day or night we open at 8 am and close at 5 am we're open 21 hours a day. i am less of vienna bitch i manage curry 36 and berlin is quite spare district it's got really. lynne's original curry worst was only made of pork but now there are many other variations but we only sell curry worst made a pork or beacon curry worst as an alternative. for our current worst we only use genuine humble and apple fed pigs from our own farmers i know. i am stefan cause i'm head of production at the caught up oh farm but you. don't

mind we use pork belly shoulder and bacon and then add water in the form of ice for cooling. then of course comes the spices salt pepper and nutmeg to give it a little personal touch and a little bit of 2. next comes the filling the curry worst is stuffed into an intestinal skin then it's cooked in a steamer. the berlin classic is a shonda on a palette meaning the curry worst has no skins want to drop. some of you did a nice germany we grew up eating curry worst without skin and we've stuck with that variation to this day. my name is doug my canuck and we're standing here in front of our business because take away and i'm the 3rd

generation to run and here. is the so you see my grandparents and parents introduce the curry worst without skin to east berlin in 1960. and best placed really an arty had curry worst with skin back then and my grandpa was always interested in new products so he decided to introduce curry worst to east berlin intestines were in short supply back then so we had to make do without and today we're known and famous for just that. i like curry worst with or without skin curry worst with skin should be nice and crispy but not too dry curry worst without skin needs to be very juicy but fried golden brown on the outside. the recipe for our sauce is a secret we won't tell it to anyone it's all stored in our heads. the secret to our

sauce to be honest there's no secret it's just catch up made up 87 percent tomatoes a little sugar a little bit of a little spice and if that's it. you. live in the for every curry worst shop tries to be unique and i and promotes its own sauce in the end it comes down to the vendors personal. taste. some at mango pulp or apple sauce or wish to share sauce or soy sauce it doesn't matter as long as the guests like it. might or might not but i think it's important not to skimp on the sauce but we also don't want to drown the sausage and overpowered states with x. marks to go.

obviously it's not like there's one typical berlin curry worst that the vendors are making for each of us sells what works best for us as well political everything goes. burning wood for fire is common practice however burning wood for building seems like a contradiction in terms but now an ancient japanese method of charring wood is catching on in europe it's called shoes so we buy and it means refining by fire by burning the surface the structure of the wood changes making it fire resistant and one dutch company specializes in this method and we were on hand to find out war. the idea here is not to burn the wood but to treat it following a traditional japanese method of vine and ties 3 forts together to form

a shaft he then sets them up right over a flame by that you get something like a chimney fire and the interesting part of it is to feel that there's a very good oxygen flow to which it will be burnt but. the point is to preserve the wood fiber while a lemon a thing the nutrients that attract berman and fungus that makes the wood more resilient and durable the japanese discovered this effect a long ago after a number of towns suffered fires when that was the city fires they found out that the houses which have been done before which at this kind of clearing didn't burn that easily off the. peat a vine and has refined the technique for building houses facades and furniture. on an old farm about 70 kilometers southwest of amsterdam his team experiments with different kinds of wood burning methods. in 2012 peter vine and company was among the 1st to make the technique known outside of japan. now several others offer

similar products each with their own processes which they often keep strictly secret. we are very careful with it because it's a very strict procedure in which for every kind of wood we need a different kind of temperature different kind of folks a germ speed etc. it took time to get so far but i think we can really make the best we can. the burning process makes the wood a long lasting and low maintenance building material that can stand at least 50 years without needing any further treatment and black is a very trendy color in architecture interior designers are using more and more. for instance very tumbling gave the encore. by simone this restaurant and the hank its very own distinctive style with charred one chose this material because. as you can see we're strike. gets more deft and.

even the trains used to serve the food are made with charred wood. and. if you need to finance company employees designers carpenters and wood specialists to find new ways to use the material besides merely ask decorative paneling. in the future we would like to explore making the whole furniture i think it's a unique look that you won't gets any other way peter vine and uses a blowtorch to test the fire resistance of the wood in the beginning it was the primary tool and his can't i just did it for myself to make my own house and off the debts of the developments came so i started with the blowtorch and did the small over and now i really that it's it's not a trick with local it's a coffin ship and that's something with fish which takes concentration and i think

that's that's the most beautiful thing that happened. sort of the disadvantage so i can imagine is that we can produce and as long as it's black. or be a divine and whether interior or exteriors architecture black it's very beautiful indeed. and with that we wrap up another show but be sure to follow us on social media or check out our website for this week's drop if you enter you could become the proud owner of this i pad from me and everyone here in berlin as always thanks for watching well seeing anything.

. and increasing numbers of migrants are willing to attempt the illegal and very risky crossing from from to britain. most people who flee their homes do so out of utter desperation more violence human rights abuses hunger and the effects of the climate crisis are often behind displacement every year tens of thousands of people try to reach europe roups often change a new one surrounded instead of leaving from libya many now set out from tunisia on a dangerous journey across the mediterranean or from lebanon to e.u. member state cyprus. at the. end of 2019 there were around 6600000 refugees in europe but landing on european soil marks the start of a new odyssey those who want to reach the united kingdom face an illegal and potentially

deadly crossing over the channel estimates suggest that so far this year 7000 people have managed to. crossing the english channel in rubber dinghies it's a journey that more migrants are making than ever before the british government is getting tough control of u.k. borders was one of the conservatives biggest breaks it promises but the crossings continue so now the royal air force a navy have been called in. here from sudan is not deterred. the government doesn't want a new pupil for the country but the country is a big it can take anyone. lazier was here has come to cali to organize his crossing the northern french quarter has been an unofficial transit come for years infrastructure is poor these are some images

of what everyday life looks like here a tent city by the side of the road little electricity and hardly any access to water or food. regular police checks. there are no state memphis realty for migrants and refugees in a warehouse in color a british and french n.g.o.s are working side by side to provide bare necessities many here feel angered by the british government and its interior minister. i feel really ashamed it's a lot of the time like this idea for a pretty to tell that there's no reason for people to come into the cave because france is safe country. it just shows so much ignorance about what it's like for people here. and one there has also been working in cali for years he's concerned because living conditions here are getting worse and worse. at the state is afraid

that a 2nd shadow city could arise here like in 2016 is trying to wear people down as a liberal policy to stop people wanting to stay here. just. back in 2016 the huge non-official camp here was dubbed the jungle some 8000 people mainly unregistered migrants and refugees lived on waste ground close to the ferry port most wanted to get in lent some were housed in converted shipping containers provided by the french government. the jungle is now gone and the police make sure that another doesn't spring up every 48 hours they conduct a raid regularly confiscating tents from personal belongings a clear message you're not welcome here. every morning glory big so may comes here to record the evictions to bring attention to human rights violations

and the difficulty of the situation. he views the footage in his own makeshift office. arriving. people are by shouting and. pushing out later they were kicking at times with some other day i believe. it's all a strategy ordered from on high by a government that's been unable to come up with a solution to cally's migrant problem the state seems to not want to have people visible to the rest of. this region teams have been told that you're not allowed to destry in the central time going to sweden another place where no us lives and this is just the general theme of color like just trying to move people away from coming up and running any kind of solution or any kind of support which is make them invisible to the rest of the population. they want to drive away the migrants and refugees but they can't portable toilets have been set up on traffic roundabouts

people now congregate in parks in parking lots the only way to escape from this is by crossing the english channel in small boats. nazir is also determined to try. this board like people who are people in europe uses a tour to enjoy yourself in what we used to you kate so it's like some people use the machines are just around and some people they have more talk so from here to look at about 34 kilometer it takes about 3 hours to the hour and how people use it take about 10 hours to live an hour. most boat set off in the early morning keeping the entire area under surveillance is practically impossible to consider afghans like you and we have 45 kilometers to oversee display that's a lot when you consider all the spots on the coastline itself with all its cliffs

that makes it difficult not on the fully off this summer there were search and rescue missions practically every day being dish channel is one of the busiest shipping routes in the world. because the channel is a motorway and it's be really dangerous driving on the motorway with a kick scooter it's same thing here. nonetheless. try their luck every day they have nothing to lose since last year. the migrant bridge has sprung up in western europe. that britain and france want to shut down by all means. these devastating images have become in our minds wildfire as on an almost apocalyptic scale have become near every day events australia california russia brazil our planet is going up in flames and whatever the climate change deniers say

we have a crisis on our hands. reporter tatiana 110 hell and went to russia where they met a woman who's made it tal life's work to plant for the future. she's replenishing the forests and the air must get. in. what looks like random bunches of greenery are in fact pine tree saplings thousands of them already for planting marianna explains how it's done it's very simple you place the sampling in the hole then fill that with earth and check the settling firmly better then check once more that it can't be pulled out yet. 8000 saplings are due to be planted today here on the outskirts of moscow marianna

munteanu asked for help online and an army of volunteers has responded she regularly invites members of the public to help or. russia's forests of taking quite a beating in recent years huge areas have been devastated by wildfires pests like bark beetles pose a further challenge russia has more forest than any other country trees cover nearly half of this vast land. i've been doing this since 2010 there were terrible wildfires back then throughout the whole of russia i saw a picture of huge well established trees being blown across the fields by the wind they were breaking off like matchsticks. marianna munchie onil studied economics and initially worked in finance but she quit her job to devote all her attention to reforestation you can change the world one small step at

a time and people will pull together for a good cause. everybody here wants to help people become more aware of nature again and to encourage them to do their bit to protect the environment. i want our planet to be as intact as possible so that we have healthy air to breathe and leave our children and grandchildren an environment in which they can live well our environment is sick i don't want to inflict further injuries on the natural world. 7 years ago marianna maggio moved to moscow to build up her own environmental organization but she's still not a lover of the city her childhood of the countryside very much shaped to she is. but i love nature i love the forest as

a child i always spend the summers with my grandmother in the village. the thought that's her house right next to the forest we would go out several times a week picking berries or mushrooms. are back in her moscow apartment she's able to relax after all the hard work but she never loses sight of her goal i didn't see a change in my earth and this is my mission in life i want to achieve great things for the benefit of society of the planet and nature of planet. good afternoon my name is mario going home and i am president of the russian climate fund i was the good. work has long since expanded beyond planting trees together with other environmental activists she puts out her own podcast to get the message out to more people but she's also developed a mobile game app called plant the forest the aim is to promote interest in the well being of trees income from the app goes to plant new saplings. new

plenty more on the game or has to collect points which then allow him to plant trees the idea is to inspire users so that they stop being indifferent towards our trees and so that they want to help with reforestation. now. back to the forest on the outskirts of moscow it's time for a lunch in the past 10 years marianna no end her helpers have planted more than a 1000000 trees that's the equivalent of around 1300 soccer fields a large number of volunteers of all ages have helped to make it possible last year she was selected by the united nations for the young champion of the earth award right nearby and she shows us some other young trees from her project that have had a chance to get established. this tree was

planted just 7 years ago and as you can see it's already bigger than me soon this area should once again be a strong healthy forest hopefully strong enough to withstand all the challenges of the future. many people who live here are also deeply connected to nature these are the core of mountains in east in albania life here is calm quiet traditional but many young people crave more leaving in droves heading to cities and even abroad it is their own way to make them want to. be on lama takes lots of photos the mountains of northeastern albania are so beautiful he works for p p n e a the country's largest environmental n.g.o.s. he promotes sustainable farming

practices for the sake both of nature and local people so they can make a decent living and choose not to leave this is the couric nick myself. at its foot z.r. care she has a market garden he grows fruit his operation could inspire others to follow suit especially young people he cultivates berries traditionally people gathered wild ones in the mountains. or llamas says such market gardens could be a fruitful source of income for more families around here. he worked for several years in italy he saved up some money came home and began farming. some of his work . i'm assuming he started with a roni of berries 5 years ago before branching out. his venture is proving to be a success. it was in july his product was certified as organic by an agency in

germany. and that's something he's very proud of you know he said the worst. you'll be of the earth is going to be undergoing because of the of the sick with the i don't use fertilizer everything is just the same as up in the mountains the bacteria in the soil and the humans they make the plants strong sort of the. cash he doesn't need to do any marketing customers come to him to buy his produce. he's been experimenting with a number of crops red love apples for example their recent cultivar with red flash resistant to disease. may has been mia. and goji berries from china they thrive here too. she also sells cuttings to those who want to emulate him. bussy and lama would love to see others

do precisely that. he collaborates with local foresters veterinarians and agronomists they advise small hold farmers in the mountains for example on how to get a bank loan purchase livestock or set up a market garden. the corrupt correct nick nature park is a lovely place to hike but visitors are few and far between because of the pandemic lockdowns and travel restrictions. the people and flocks who live here are pretty much alone. there are many feeder is a shepherd he has a hard time making a living but unlike many of his contemporaries who go abroad he wants to stay. asan lama often comes up here to the mountain pastures to talk to the locals find out what problems they face and help work on solutions. they say it's getting

harder and harder to find places for their flocks to graze. the numbers of the seabees decreasing every year and. have taken over the past or a length of the foster area this is the main problem that they are losing. significant part of. it's a vicious circle. i'm refire spends the summer months up in the mountains they spend the winter down in the village i'm a is mother doesn't need to worry about her son he learnt everything he knows from her. he knows he doesn't lead a comfortable life like people in the city but he also knows that he has a lot more than his family did 100 years ago. i don't know. of course i would like to have a big car. but you have to make a choice. if you love this kind of life up here as i do then you can't go and live

in a big city there. still it's tough tending sheep or growing crops here and our aim for the next series that we need to let's say support these activities and these families in order that they can let's say profit from the from this that the view that they are doing this is the main the main think. armory feeders family seem to be content with their lives. they recently built a new house next to their old one. things have been improving from one generation to the next. on lama heads off to visit another family. he receives a warm welcome. you know. just on the eldest son works in sweden but he stuck at home because of a pandemic. he's the one wearing a baseball cap his mother is sad because he's keen to leave again she can't

understand why what's more the youngest son wants to go to sweden to. also in lima says the government has to realize that more and more people will leave unless things improve one issue is the infrastructure the roads in the mountains are poor government he says should give help here's those still on the core the home record of tradition is all well and good what should we do if we can't sell what we make. the nearest areas 50 kilometers away and there are no government guarantees we get no government support. so it's hard to maintain tradition. it's often easier to make money abroad than to continue farming here. the old farm buildings are still standing but the nokia family have now built a modern house mainly financed with money earns in sweden. the area might be

beautiful but without jobs or prospects young people will continue to go away far away. there's a similar trend in japan here too it's hard to get young people excited about a life in rural areas most want to live in cities where older life faced and in money studying partying it's partly down to demographics japan has one of the oldest populations worldwide and the long life expectancy japanese men have an average of 81.4 years. women more than 87 his. entire areas of the country are aging rapidly and young people are desperate to get away all rob day. 2 years ago such

as swapped the world's biggest metropolitan area for a rural back 4 said he was fed up with tokyo. he has hills and valleys instead of bright lights and bustling crowds. the prefecture is dubbed the japanese dollar months. sutter's mission is to help develop one more cool demographically speaking it's the oldest village in the country 2 thirds of people here are over 65 that's a record to younger people to the village the state has agreed to pay newcomers wages and living expenses for 3 years for that sound has been prepared to help everyone out for example making she so mucky in the service station on the main thorough fare there's plenty of opportunity to chat while busy with me so she rolls and potato salad and gone through we were very open to him and quickly became friends with my. retainer and i feel more and the best thing of all is that he

married his girlfriend and had a baby with her here how did it feel on the news i go in the net and sutter says he will continue to do his best. he helps wherever he can in the kitchen on the till and in the fields the mayor has come to visit his saddest point of contact with the state sponsored program for side who has it's quite a balancing act recruiting young people while not ignoring the older generation. at the moment there are 6 or 7 people in the village who are over 100 years old and people here live for a really long time regularly examine people test their physical and mental health we give them cognitive training to help keep them mentally agile that's what i'm busy with at the moment. sutter says the old people here are hale and hearty thanks to clean air lots of exercise and healthy food the only thing that he doesn't like here is the amount of driving but he realizes there's no way around it. at 1st
