what secrets lie behind things one. discover new adventures in 360 degree. and explore this amazing world heritage sites with. t.w. world heritage 316 get kidnapped now. these giant monsters are trolling areas around copenhagen we'll find out why later on in the show. hello and welcome to another fun edition of your own max with me your host meghan lee here's a look at what else we've got coming up. capturing the beauty of unique bookstores

. and furniture that is full of a random nation yet still functional. but we kick off the show with a balancing act of sorts the sport of slacklining or balancing on a high wire is hard enough and requires a great deal of concentration now add the extra challenge of playing an instrument or performing theatrical now by that may sound impossible but this is what a group of french performers are doing up on high we caught up with them at a church in france for one of their latest shows. acrobatics at dizzying heights on a high line. it leads to the abbey church of scent and baby and southeastern france. here the group will do so is putting on

a show that combines music dancing acrobatics and puppet theatre with the extreme sports. we used to fashion which is. to make a scene india so high and become a sin and yet we just want to bring. in the real space. nobody ever play music before. going to and from keeping your balance at such heights is already quite a feat but performing a choreographed routine while making music on top of that now that's showmanship extraordinaire. when you focus on the music balancing on the line and performing it happens automatically and before i put my end you know i'm like oh it will never be a bird i knew my amp to balance and once i have stuff playing i just can do it and

when they play music on the line they are good that nuns are thank. the members of the we do is have been performing together since 2016. highlight of their careers thus far was performing on chan many mountain in china. they also staged a multimedia show in a cave in the south of france. 2 would be to we try to introduce elements inspired by the local culture whenever we can at a concert in china we played a chinese drum on the net. and in the grotto we told a local legend. you see it's. we're always searching for the most interesting places to perform so here to be performing in a church it's our 1st time and to be performing in a garden like this and in a religious context. it's really special for us to change the pre conceived

ideas about locations like this. which. of the artists from our say came to sometimes 2 weeks before their show to develop the concept onsite. don't like just kind of. show we do so it means we are also from what we discover here so we read and we speak with people of the village and we like to include. the place where we are from and. is. town chronicler. one of her tales which deals with the villages social problems in the last century became the central theme of the performance.

they recounted local history but transposed it making it more martin and accessible to everyone who will want playing a musical instrument up there on a slant line without losing your balance that's impressive but. most of the groups performances also feature handmade props created with lots of love and care. we are gifted with this and we used. to make. the french performers are now looking for another unusual place to present their daring concept. after their debut performance on a church they're now dreaming of stringing their high lines between the chips and pyramids. we're all afraid of running into that scary monster in the forest things to danish artist

thomas dumbo coming across a giant troll is a real possibility for the last couple of years dumbo has been building and hiding oversized monsters like little tilda in the countryside around copenhagen and now he's put together a troll treasure hunt but as he sees it there is no reason to be afraid. hiding in the forest while state has storm is watching every and long live is enjoying the beach. these mystical giant trolls in denmark. but what is going on and how did they can't hear. i think like anybody else my age tech were up on fairy tales and folklore stories so i think that's also why i like to tell them oh and i for me trolls they don't need to be like evil they can also be good and in my fairy tale trolls they are the protectors of nature.

right now thomas down by one to his team of volunteers have only got eyes for this trunk. so this one here is called you've been evolved and it's like the little old but very intelligent troll. van is one of 10 trolls taking cover in the countryside the story is a well known danish fairy tale thomas plans to finish the sculpture in 10 days at 4 metres in height is one of the smaller. some of the trolls sculptures can reach up to 18 meters high i like them to play with scale and make us feel small compared to them because we are really small compared to nature she using the right materials is an important part of the princess this one here is made from a pole that i found just around the corner here and it's the from the local fisherman they use them to tie their fishing that's all of course we are in the

harbor. this one is the inscription stone which is actually made from the same wood that comes from those rolling the weapons that they got a whole bunch of in the workshop. aside from nails and glue thomas only uses discarded wood he collects ontario and eats it in his studio in copenhagen this what infinite used to belong to a shop big. to shut down. and i think that projects such as my art can maybe help alter people's perspective from being something worthless to something with value 1st thomas makes sketches of his ideas. the heads and other details then put together in his studio. created out in the. give it life some kind of. paint black and poor here but it's always the last thing that. once completed the heads are ready to set off.

this one that will go to australia and this one will go to the united states across the globe a total of 70. hiding in places like belgium. south korea when i'm traveling out in the world i need to like find the materials locally because of course the came flowing in from copenhagen from china i just love to go on the treasure hunt to find those things we're going to make me really having so it's a combination of like having people helping me organize before i arrive but then also just going around and looking what is in the dumpsters despite the size spotting a troll isn't as easy as you think but thankfully there's now an interactive treasure map to help hunters on my quest this family from copenhagen. we have a 10 and she really likes. and to get her out and about to see a bit of the nature out here and then a treasure hunt is always great fun. dot com hunters can access

a digital treasure map using this map they need to 1st find metal plaques which then provide them with coordinates to the next. it's so nice for me to see the people who use it and that is the whole objective of my project is to learn people away from their comfort so finally at the end of the hum. reward away like campaign now and his. one of his other troll friends. promised them that his plan to get people out and into the nature of around them seems to be working. and staying in nature most people consider weeds a pesky nuisance but for german chef pay to funk they are the stars of his cuisine now he scours the fields for for wild herbs like a mug war or dandelion and he turns them into all kinds of healthy dishes now

franken knows all about their health benefits and he shared some of this knowledge with us. across germany and europe slightly arrows while kemah miles. was seen as a nuisance. they're often destroyed and discounted tickets. to chef and wild kind of acts but. that's a terrible waste enough spicing up his dishes with wild heads. the common term is wild herbs sinful and the more insulting turtle is weeds but that's totally misleading. this might think we should celebrate plants and all their positive attributes instead. while the lives are healthy and some even contain more vitamins and minerals than

common vegetables pay to frank a farmer just perhaps in the open fields and meadows surrounding van been a small town in this region in jim in east northeast. this guy just. if you can believe like this and use it in the herd as t.v. or in the bath tub when truly the best thing i bring from it is bitterness martin because. i pay to frank as restaurant had to bill while ted's featuring many of his dishes today in his colleague daniel you know i like making pesto from stinging nettles instead of just picking out leaves thank yous the entire plant. just by the when you're cooking with metal it's important to take the female sees the best and it's a perfect dietary supplement. perfect way to enhance the nutty flavor financial and

big cities like going into you like these potato sweets this year contains a lot of ira calcium and magnesium the iron plays an important role in keeping us healthy so i am i have. the greatest compliment for us as watching people stare at the ground after a tour looking for wild cards they can all use we think we help preserve our native plants by raising awareness for them. and the more herb's they plant the less their yards look like sterile golf courses so. there are a couple of things to consider when gathering herbst like avoiding areas with heavy traffic and only picking plants that you recognize and it crowds the start up makes of ram essences from wild contestants at the tour was impressed by this age old knowledge. i think when you grow up in the city the diversity of the wild herbs

interesting bookstores on the planet. now they've been gathered together here in bookstores photography a horse a frame to base homage to books his book is the result of 2 years of travelling through 8 countries. every bookstore you enter is the ultimate feeling of books on shelves. but i wanted to show the shops that distinguish themselves from the rest either through their selection or their concept and concept. in his adopted city of london has also captured images of speciality bookshops like max brothers founded in $853.00 it's one of the world's oldest antiquity tarion booksellers the most valuable item currently in stock to pages from a 670 year old manuscript about the travels of explorer marco polo the asking price $200000.00 euros even if own at max now reaches many customers online to him

printed books are no relic of the past on the contrary. there's nothing from a book. for use it makes everyone look beautiful and clever it is exactly the opposite over a computer screen which makes us look probably. also doesn't fear the internet giants. it offers a special service. each month the staff at. that recommended treat isn't based on the computer algorithm but rather on the knowledge of the funding fell a day and. altogether they read over $600.00 books a year queen elizabeth the 2nd is among the customers on amazon you might get them where your only reading the same book over and over again they might be different authors might be slightly different. genres but you won't sort

of go outside the box that's what we try to do we try to find books that you wouldn't have picked up. a window with hurlingham books is the most colorful one of all and that's a testament to the shops concept the books don't appear to be sorted in any particular way. the store looks like one huge warehouse. yet owner ray cole can locate every book his chaos attracts customers like. even when it comes to chain bookstores it feels like very clinical the way things are laid out and it dictates to you whereas i think in a bookshop like this where it's kind of a bit more of a ramshackle experience it feels. like you could come out with anything. some people purposely leave a book behind when they visit the floating bookshop on the water on london's regent

can you imagine a ping pong table for the dining room or a flying carpet as a chair or these are just some of the designs by. now his furniture looks so real and is full of dream like wonder we caught up with the young designer at his studio on fibrous to hear more about what inspires him. the cityscape of a modern metropolis dotted with skyscrapers in a table. its designer. calls his functional artwork the wade city table. i went to we are restaurant and while i was sitting there last night during the shape of a rug this is an interesting shape so i thought you know what buildings will be interesting so. i think a rough sketch with buildings and i didn't really model on the computer so when we made the 1st it will look really really good fans of designer furniture agreed the

wave city table has made musard he's famous it even features in the permanent collection of the louvre stereos musette he says surreal furniture has a design language all its own whether it's a comical figure holding a surfboard. chairs inspired by a latin spying carpet. or a mountain wire mesh that props up a ping pong table and doubles as a dining table he's inspired by the natural beauty of his homeland cypress. because if you look at nature he's beautiful in the future look closely or even if you look on their microscope you find all these unique patterns in joe metrical shapes and fascinates me because i think the best art take these nature a glass drop of water that creates a ripple effect. when rockets lifting off carrying glass table tops you can see the

mediterranean sea and the clouds above cyprus reflected in his work. many of mousavi says designs rely on 3 d. printing technology which enables him to create the most unusual shapes quickly. the 13 d. printers in his studio help him produce his furniture. b.c. biodegradable plastic this posting very slowly in one break very easily in addition to black the weight city table also comes in a wood finish. the table shouldn't break if someone sits on it to increase its store ability to studies and a metal worker spent a lot of time fine tuning the design. we're using steel we get plates here are big sheets of metal we cut them in the dimensions of the we want and then we use the motions behind us to bend the steel into their shape of the table it turns out to be not that very easy because you need to get it precise so. processing

and trying. we got it right and then the 80 kilograms plates are clad with wood painstakingly and by hand a carpenter joins the maple veneer sheets together he can't afford to make a mistake otherwise the entire work will be ruined the craftsman must glue the thin wooden layer to the curved metal plate precisely to the exact millimeter so that metal gives it a disability and heaviness and they would it gives you the illusion of it's all wood. for the black version the metal is coated with powder based paint. then attaches the buildings using a special and he says. very very very solid pieces and. so you can see there. the table bends but it's not actually coming off a trained model maker he's spent some time in london working with the world famous

this is state of the news lot from berlin standing in solidarity. people across france all of the well liked history teacher who was beheaded after discussing cartoons of the muslim prophet muhammad as his clocks prime minister shall test exploit the crowd in tears. bolivians cast their ballots for a new president on sunday facing a deeply divided political landscape the winner will have to deal with the coronavirus 10 dead. and bolivia's worst economic crisis in decades.

an exposer welcome to the program there have been demonstrations across france in a show of solidarity after the beheading of a teacher on his way home from school thousands gathered in central paris to pay their respects to senator patty who was killed after showing cartoons of the muslim prophet muhammad during a class on freedom of expression police have now detained 11 people in connection with the killing the suspect was shot dead by police soon after the attack. thousands of people came to the plaster little public in paris to show their solidarity with the slain teacher some your party. it was here where large groups also gathered following the 2015 charlie hebdo attacks. but today people wore signs saying just we are saying no or i'm

a teacher. many came here to grieve but also to protest they felt compelled to speak out in support of the teacher and freedom of speech. the level before we are here to defend the republic liberty equality for eternity and secularism. but it was not just in paris communities came together right across the country to stand in defiance and remember the 47 year old history teacher. yes if you do that and we are in shock and now our focus is on the well being of our children for them it's especially horrifying if it is ok he was my teacher for 2 years he was very friendly one of the few teachers who would help us. you know as a secular country need been under attack and now our education system that's going too far for much of. the. party was on his way home from school when he was attacked shortly after police surrounded the suspect and ordered him to drop his

weapon. authorities say they opened fire on the suspect after he attacked police. the french government has called the killing an attack on french values in europe but. it is no accident that it is the teacher who is being killed by a terrorist. because he wanted to kill the republic and the values that represents the enlightenment the possibility to make our children wherever they come from believers or nonbelievers whatever their religion to make them free citizens. francis said to hold further national tributes for the victim in the coming days. and for more on this i'm joined now by. who is a journalist in paris and it is good to have you with us there's been demonstrations of solidarity rallies for the victim taking place across the country

what more can you tell us about. it's what's interesting is how many people have been attending in those demonstrations like right lots of teaches and in cities there have a chart you. do 2 hours from now out in the provinces as well and the shock is very clear heritable to what happened when the cartoonist or shall you do well slaughtered by terrorists 5 years ago and you really have a feeling that this is touch something deep in the nation because teachers aren't teaching children this is that this is an issue that transcends a great deal of other things that it brings the french together in ways that we haven't seen recently. and do we have any more information about the attack or. we know quite a little know more now about the attack and he's an 18 year old chechen was born in

moscow and who was admitted to immigrate in france after he was refused in poland and against the advice of the french immigration office a judge decided that he should be admitted and he never returned it prophesied patti's classes he doesn't good to the high school he was very obviously radicalized and we don't know whether he's been radicalized over the months or whether he's been radicalized in the past week by the combination of the social media messages videos and demands by several families and several organizations around the high school employees under no age who demanded that be a teacher be sanctioned in section can be many things from mr to sanction to what happened actually yesterday and that's that's really something that shocks everyone . and it is a threat is of course proudly and publicly and officially

a secular country is that however a source of tension with parts of the muslim community. it used not to be we had a muslim colony we had immigration in the fifty's and sixty's before and after independence from algeria morocco tunisia and of those generations the 1st generation integrated pretty well and then things started getting worse and you can really date the change of climate right at the beginning of the 1980 s. and that coincides with the push that was made by the extremist what sect to go in saudi arabia who started practicing and it should stream the retrograde form of islam and financing mosques that push that kind of the slum and in general a shrine for cultural and religious tension with the over the other not so community as you've seen in france increase it years. women wearing full face coverings the whole for

a law in front against art but if you look at all sorts of pictures including during the algerian war you never saw women wearing head scarves and not book because it was not a tradition all of this is new and that is this kind of grooming in most extremist ways that has created tensions and promotes ok and it is there in paris thanks so much. and here in berlin 2 people have been showing our solidarity with the victim of the attack in france a small crowd gathered outside the french embassy in the center of the term capital mourners pay their respects to victim 7 year old petty laying flowers and lighting candles. and we turn now to some of the other stories making news around the world . the united arab emirates minister of tolerance has been accused of sexually assaulting a u.k. woman she told a british newspaper that she had visited shaikh to discuss the staging of the 1st

and it's carried out by men and women who aren't actually police officers they're called. a voluntary community police force mainly out in the evenings patrolling neighborhoods vehicles and residents on foot they're allowed to carry weapons after just 3 months of training we're worried about the the huge powers these rather on educated and untrained forces are going to be given. the bakshi were reintroduced by turkish president reaches type heir to juan as a kind of auxiliary police force after an attempted coup 4 years ago the government says they've made many neighborhoods safe for the opposition however here's the aim is to create local militia members loyal to president to 11 politician sees parallels with the violent essay brownshirts of nazi germany. members of the nazis political combat groups also wore brown uniforms they had a bad reputation because of their cruelty and involvement in street crawlers.

shift special this time killer drones combat robots and cyber security in the military to shoot oh not to shoot around the world weapon systems are being developed that would lead to visual intelligence and so this question can we let an algorithm decide of a life and death. the 0 fighters are currently still in use but artificial intelligence could soon replace fighter aircraft that require the pilot to manually shoot missiles. here as the cause of it is not thursday the us for the 1st big game

changer is the fact that we now have pilotless weapon systems that can be controlled from afar so they don't require a pilot to be on board the fighter aircraft as i was near a pin aircraft manufacturer airbus tested its 1st unpiloted drones about 2 years ago these drones accompany fighter aircraft from inside the cockpit the pilot can control the swarm of drones abbott says it's a system designed to take some of the pressure off the pilots and protect them so far humans are still of the center of the decision making process here across the globe militaries are developing weapons systems that see artificial intelligence increasingly replace humans in an art of it there's this new aspect now and that in the future the decision on target selection and combat likely redirected and it would be an algorithm in a computer not a human being making the decision that something new at no point in history has this ever been the case the decision has always been a human one no matter what weapons are used whether it was throwing stones and

spears using a crossbow or even dropping by. the us military agency darpa has developed an unmanned ship the sea hunter is equipped with cameras sensors and computers this autonomous robot ship is supposed to detect and pursue enemy submarines so far there. no weapons on board yet the erratic it would be possible in the future artificial intelligence could lead to many other changes a team of american researchers and killer robot activists has produced this video to warn of the potential consequences the fictional scenario drones are used to eliminate political opponents with the help of artificial intelligence and facial recognition the drones hunt student activists the drones independently identify their targets and then carry out targeted assassinations. on the technical side and much of this will be possible in the near future. heart

of the matter which is also expressed in this video is the fact that these new technologies allow us to an extreme extent to distance ourselves from the act of killing a lot more than long range weapons ever could. basically we could just categorize and let algorithms take care of going into action. so it's essentially passing on the act of killing a computer by the. drones be used in the future to specifically target and kill people. to frank's hour this sort of scenario raises primarily ethical questions i mean. one very fundamental weren't is that a dehumanization of those people that die takes place because nobody has to deal with the fact that they've died on the battlefield. instead of the reduced to mere data and numbers which an anonymous machine works through one of the algorithms. at the united nations they've been debating a ban on autonomous weapons for years now so far unsuccessfully resistance to

a ban comes from russia the u.s. and china amongst others the debate centers on whether autonomous weapons are reconcilable with international law critics are worried about a new arms race with on forseeable consequences. as you start to picture and realize that humans are controlling element have completely fallen out of the equation and when you have algorithms that make decisions or. decisions on whether or not someone should be attack targeted and if so whether weapons should be here. it's definitely not so farfetched to imagine that are happening at incredible speed and could escalate even quicker. the systems they start shooting at each other without humans doing it themselves and it might even become impossible to oversee what's happening at the speed at which everything unfold could be just too overwhelming. that decisions over life and death cannot be passed on to machines humans need to take on responsibility and be accountable.

combat robots can kill but they can also protect human life when fighting terrorists for example these remotely controlled weapons are produced by general robotics in israel. the weapon a glock 269 millimeter caliber the shooter a robot 11 kilograms the shooting range 20 kilometers east of tel aviv israel. of general. robotics is controlling this robot which looks more like a toy it could be a toy considering it's called jogo but this small caterpillar robot is dangerous it's being advertised as a lightweight ally in the fight against terrorism and it shoots automatically. this is a grouping of turn around so you see that no human can reach this secures we usually

when we do competition even with the best shots they cannot reach discussion of groupings and imagine under combat pressure it's even harder. the next challenge targeting balloons on command and then shooting them. in the future dogo is supposed to support infantry troops in action. although it's 2020 today almost all the militaries in the world they send humans into very dangerous areas without the humans even knowing what's waiting for them on the other side right now more people are being killed or injured because the special forces don't have time to think because they're under fire don't go is supposed to provide the time to think in an advertising video to developments present our future antiterrorism operations could become more secure the special forces sent to robots how fast they have to look around clear the area and if need

be shoot. the whole idea is to have the tell most occupied with the old what. to give the special forces an advantage. general robotics is one of the leading manufacturers for remotely controlled weapons one other product very sound the people are portable weapons station that was developed as an anti drone tool amongst other things it can be controlled from a safe distance. back of the system which target they want to track i can cancel the tracking and i can reactivate just by pressing the start. and now the system is tracking self. and i decide if i want to continue tracking or if i want to shoot don't go and pit bull use image recognition and motion sensors to track that target's technologies that are increasingly being controlled

by programs that are self learning and thereby continuously improving in other words artificial intelligence. the university of tel aviv with its department of cyber security. isaac ben israel former air force general and m.p. is a lecturer here his knowledge on military theory and security policy has led him to being regarded as one of the leading experts on artificial intelligence. music the. official in their lives is going to be the most dominant the quality of the next 20 years or so in. the. the human mission. weapon systems such as pit bull don't have only been made possible through more intelligence software faster more accurate control of the

weapons through programs means that more jobs can be taken off human hands. there are various different stages of technology one stage of technology is to other to official intelligence to help the young men make a decision for example you can image recognition so the system can suggest to. this person is a probably a. 95 percent because we're the facial recognition and it matches our database so this will help support the human to make a decision but your question if now the system will decide that beyond 95 percent or if it's 100 percent sure will it take the decision by a 3rd maybe maybe in the future but we do not support that unlike biological and chemical weapons using cyber technology it is not regulated on an international

level not every manufacturer will take on responsibility for the machines they produce the thought of robots fighting each other one day is not really comforting for history has daughters one thing there is no such thing as a war without human victims. militaries across the globe preparing for cyber warfare in the german bund is fair to soldiers are working on ways to ward off cyber attacks which strategies do they employ the center for cyber operations is located near here the computer systems of the blunders we are are being centrally monitored the i.t. networks need to function reliably especially for deployment of brought this role is becoming increasingly important for cyber and information command of the art. he has about as many soldiers as the navy. these cyber troops fight off hackers and it's a day just as with industrial networks in the bundeswehr networks are also continually

being attacked and the way you usually react as with measures to guarantee security of information these are different measures that have been developed to protect our own networks since or whether they're really only defending their own networks or actively attacking foreign networks the german government remains silent on this issue but in 2019 a strategic paper was leaked to the public it stated that there are plans to react with hack attacks in case of a severe attack back sound basically retaliations against attacking computer infrastructure in the most extreme cases servers are supposed to be hacked and disabled we try digging a bit deeper with connell christan pavlik who handles the cyber all directions he does not want to reveal any concrete targets but he emphasizes the potential need to be able to actively engage in cyber combat even if a few are going to spare has the skills necessary to the back end of the war network's. data to grab it analyze and to influence network said change

data. bot is to terrence even effective in cyberspace. they concern us and cyberspace is generally quite difficult on deterrence as based on being able to assess and analyze the opponent's skills in cyberspace however you're very concerned with staying anonymous not revealing anything about your skills as soon as their skills in cyberspace are revealed then you can start comparing specifically but those types of attacks insisted to terence's controversial often times it's not clear who's attacked whom and who to target one of the reasons why germany is specifically interested in defensive cyber security and having read and stable i.t. systems. the
