why you see british inventive paul bacon both custom cars that look like they're straight out of a science fiction movie. and with that well come you're a back seat is what else is coming up on the show. how long barry core is the type of hand that is considered a spanish delicacy and. bill in this newest landmark their own words form in their reconstructed a rock tell us. this is the sound of bells ringing in the leaning tower. pisa in the past bells used to be a big part of people's lives they would ring to wake us up call us to meals and prayer

and send us to bet the merry nellie family's bell foundry in italy is considered the oldest in the world and has been making bells for many centuries. my family has been making bells for us so i was in tears. but what is unique is that our craftsmanship and materials have remained unchanged since the middle ages . we want to preserve this we will have that was passed on to us from our ancestors over coming generations. in my nellie pontifical foundry is situated in a new owner around 200 kilometers east of rome and is one of italy's oldest family businesses brothers pasquale and at mundo who now run the company are the 26th generation the foundry produces some 50 dells per year each bearing the pontifical

and long run also for me here foundry is one of the few maybe the only one that bears the people of the. church for almost 100 years now is adorns our family back. in 1924 pius 11th plenty of my great grandfather. use of the emblem of his services to the church. it takes between 3 and 10 months and some 15 workers to make just one belt this depends on its exact size each one is hand crafted 1st a brick or assembled and covered in clay then it gets working on ornamentations. but then with every bell has a distinct aesthetic. we scratch customers individual ornamentation requests then i

make plasticine models of them sometimes i use wax or clay if we are creating a large bell. these my. models are then used to make plaster casts 5. so. the casts are then filled with hot liquid wax once it cools and becomes rigid the ornamentations are pasted onto the clay core a 2nd thin layer of clay is then added on top the wax leaves a distinct impression on the soft outer shell i woke up up with months well my t.v. show has become hard. to wax some of them out of it's the stock you know outside leader of cle is lifted off and released around the tree core leaving a space in between. that obama. this casting mold is then buried in the ground. and then with the priest in attendance things get spiritual.

and such are going to be a very very 6 makes the special moment even more meaningful all he said lurks in our prayers. these people. in. this arrangement of the fires imbued with the holy spirit the only forces admitted by the slave it was passed on to us that this is the holy mother madonna at work when we can always rely upon. your. child. the liquid copper tin alloy heated to 1200 degrees celcius is then poured into the bell cast buried in the earth then the team waits 5 days for the bronze to cool. money nearly pontifical dallas can be found the world over 100 doings

a new church where the family business is based others can be found in rome's church after retired in 1000 the leaning tower of pisa and the vatican gardens. as well it's emotional listening to our bells ringing i was there especially because many bell towers of bells that meter by our ancestors i mean more. of a viewing but it's difficult to describe in words. for a 1000 years the sound of the money now the church bells ringing hasn't chanted the world and that will likely never change. reality is just too boring for the british invents of paul bacon instead he flees into the walls of fantasy costs simular to lots of the car design as in our series

go went into overdrive bacon designs and builds all of his eccentric vehicles himself but they're not only meant for museums they are out on the road so keep your eyes peeled. and otherworldly vehicle. built by british car designer paul bacon and inspired by disney's fairy tale movie cinderella based his design on cinderella's carriage though giving it a distinct steampunk twist. but. make so much of it a cloak. of them up their dog eat dog holiday and they hear you know you're trying to know what you're doing no blow but it really is a big brain is quite an experience sandra draw

a breath then read something maybe a memory but not in that way. each took 4 years to complete the auto metron as bacon calls his creation he recently sold it to collector allen hall with this call i wanted to my eyes mobile which. as i possibly can there's just there's just so many bits from so many places how do we stop it the. way. the switches and solid which are on the ball. and like military memorabilia show it looks like showing the old look so simple but that was together about a 1000 times before it worked but it always works now already. every component on the engine again i wanted to look like

a separate piece of all still you know if it sits in the hands and it looks like a piece of all then it can go on the call i wanted to prove that i could be able to call from scratch and be totally different on the original. one in any new project sketching his ideas on paper and then punk it started in a small workshop near leicester in the east midlands to bring his ideas to life he's been building unique one of a kind vehicles for over 10 years now. the geometry was his 1st creation that was just pure shock and not call goes by with the story that just that moment of someone saying it that's you know what i always thought was my drawing for how we just maximum impact of this so. called just flowed in. 2013. caused the

200. with the plexiglas and protruding chrome and it's quite a looker it's inspired by science fiction stories and comic books. is a child i always imagine trying to look these columns with but definitely off the. a lot crazier but i don't know it's like a future that went off it branched off and got stuck in a different reality than all reality is so wall a little bit. called antidote against this boring reality is designing mind boggling vehicles like this serious looking pickup which he uses to run daily errands. it's essentially a converted london taxi cab. to. build a custom call just to so much stuff really help you to risk a reality check if my budget as shown on the joy of being down there you don't

reach 66 in america go pick something different on the road or not at all i think it just brought it so people who stole it and you know it does good with but. i'm always happy when others take joy in his custom made cars. the every chip the polls told him over the rail company in the name of the. latest creation the auto metron has heads turning bringing some extra fun and excitement to the street drugs of my callers on the menu even if the moment that i am the moment is never going to get someone like me i think i have a gallery base of all them one guy pulling the piece of all mine just cost that number on. the line but it. definitely

along 3 of the sites facing outwards and inside the court the. original parts of the old palace have also been integrated into the new building. even before the new location opens its doors its magnificent architecture is impressive. a vivid piece of german history the palaces baroque facade was added in the 18th century the structure was severely damaged in the 2nd world war and demolished by the g.d.r. in 1950 the site was then used to build the palace of the republic which housed the g.d.r. as legislature in 1989 the east germans abolished their regime and after prolonged deliberation demolition of the palace of the republic began in 2006. in 2012 construction of the new interpretation of the palace began with a price tag of 677000000 euros raised in part through donations.

a small village in the orwell. ringback ringback incense smokers nutcrackers and christmas arches act as ambassadors for the small german village of seitan nestled in the or mountain and known worldwide for its toil. since he was a child pastor made hogs has witnessed how the craft and woodwork pieces from syphon make it feel like christmas year after here. in the world i'm tunes we live in an area where some days in november a very foggy it can really put a damper on your mood and you can hardly wait to finally sets up the pretty christmas arches and there's it's the shine bright sun the darkness. inside and christmas decorations aren't just set up they're made here there are

a key role in the more mountains until the mid 19th century and the christmas arch also reflects this past. month so let's not shift the foreigners. when miner had his last shift and came out of the mine entrance into the dealers or another time he said i'm. on the arch of the entryway. stirred. here and that's where the modern christmas arch comes from. the ideas that our miners were happy to put aside their dangerous work dr phil and celebrate christmas . both of us why not 1st begin going. one of the most popular motifs in these local woodwork pieces is the church of the life and in the meantime it enjoys worldwide fame making it a tourist magnet for visitors from dozens of countries each year but due to the covert crisis pastor michelle hearts is playing music for a nearly empty church syphon usually attracts around $500000.00 visitors

world's injustices. the film portrays them as glowing. examples to others showing that it's possible for children to make a difference even if adults sometimes have to help out a bit as well co sales assistant is his father. in law i don't have to understand that children can do more than just play do homework and tidy up their bedrooms. i want them to take it seriously and that's what i'm fighting for. you know you learn a lot and i've learned so much from him. tomorrow belongs to us is a powerful film that encourages not only children but adults too. often if goals are strong very strong if that's right. so don't all we shouldn't wait for politicians like i'm going americal or emanuel

into the city. bethlehem's residents and no stranger to turmoil in 1949 the city which is just a few kilometers from jerusalem became part of the west bank. recent years have been more peaceful attracting tourists and pilgrims particularly during the christmas period 29000 so record 3000000 visitors many from poland romania and italy and this year looks set to desolate too but then came the pan. demick. the church of the nativity in bethlehem christians from all over the world usually flock here to celebrate christmas. but not this year. the pandemic has put paid to that. the mood is far from festive it's more melancholy and gloomy for many here no visitors means no income and. this street is full of wood carving workshops only one is still open

the craftsmen create nativity figures and scenes by hand. it's a minor miracle that they have any work at all. and that's thanks to their boss who was determined not to be beaten by the coronavirus crisis. jack he said just come on is a christian he learned the craft of woodworking from his father and grandfather. before coven 19 he always sold the output of his factory at his store next door. but since march his jesus mary joseph and shepherd figures and all of would have been waiting in vain. like countless others in bethlehem jack was sitting at home with nothing to do. he knew he had to come up with some way to support his wife 2 daughters and 22 employees but then you would think this he it was the most thing

in my life i had my life i thought the 1st intifada the 2nd intifada the war against iraq and ok that was the war but at least you can see people walking around tourist free to buy things but the if year completely over you can see nobody even walking in the street the church is there in. the church of the nativity is right around the corner from jack. people here are saying it hasn't been so empty since before the crusades. this footage is from 2019 when 3000000 tourists came to bethlehem. visitors often waited in line for hours to enter the grotto of the nativity in the church's crypt. it was built at the spot where jesus is said to have been born. now we have the chapel all to ourselves.

we can relish in the beauty and the tranquility but it also feels sad and lonely. in the afternoon a funeral procession passes by jack shop. more than 50 covert related deaths have been registered in bethlehem and thousands of cases bethlehem was the 1st city in the palestinian territories to see an outbreak it's thought the virus was brought here by tourists a strict lockdown was imposed in march. the ensuing economic crisis forced jack to get inventive he recently began selling his wooden figures online that was quite an innovation for a rather traditional business and it's brought with it new complications. i stopped the fellow mother and i and with the help of a friend overseas we managed to make is some internet webpages just like it feel like the whole family has since got involved.

on the square in front of the church there's a big christmas tree just like every year. as if the situation were normal. jets work day is over but his worries aren't. part of the new government that cannot order or that people love the look of all work. life without any income and you know fortunately we have a very rich who would if a very thorough situation. the orient palace is the biggest hotel in the palestinian territories. during the christmas season it would normally be full of christian pilgrims this year too many rooms were booked long in advance but to no avail. it looks as if time has stood still since march it's extremely tough for the owners. light up the room on and his family had invested millions in expanding the hotel right

before the pandemic erupted but he's not ready to give up hope he knows what great significance bethleham has and always will have for his fellow christians for the rest of your question i know tourists who would give anything to be able to visit the holy land at least once in their lifetime. when i see it on their faces when they arrive at my hotel. happy they are because they find the fulfillment of their faith in bethlehem. we've been invited to tea with jack's wife tamera and are surprised to see that there is no nativity scene in sight in the house of a woodwork factory owner. she tells us that she doesn't like wood. jack explains that thomas father was also in the woodworking business. commerce says that's exactly why she's had her fill of wood. the wood issue hasn't disrupted

family life. and they intend to weather the disruption the pandemic has brought about in the hope that tourists and pilgrims will soon be back in the beautiful and beloved city of bethlehem. me being that. you are. and now we had to india for all global ideas. in some parts of the country which has become. many farmers with d.d. love to irrigate their fields more often but instead they're forced to use as little as possible. and we headed to a village near the city of poor to find out. if the sun is merciless here rain is scarce. for a long time the northwest indian climate has been hostile to residents. rainfall

here comes in a fairly $750.00 millimeters a year only a 3rd of the precipitation the falls in mumbai further to the side of. the situation was once traumatic for the families living here on their fields says 55 year old farmer how. he lives with his family in the small village of but kota. our crops used to dry out and our family members were constantly worrying about things like the crops needing water how to irrigate the fields and where to get animal feed as anybody these. things have been transformed now though partly because of hiram got 3 he's what's known here as a john karr the hindi name means someone who knows all about groundwater 20 their nicknames here live in the surrounding villages. godfrey

regularly checks the water levels in the wells and records on the trace of rain. go guys yeah i used to feel really strange in front of the other villagers when i 1st started taking the measurements they used to ask me what on earth are you doing . every now and then yogi comes to see how. she works for the marvie project run by a nearby university and poor together with australia's western sydney university the project aims to help people find ways of dealing with the constant water shortage here living on location to be jay's are key participants so they have to be trained up to handle their tasks. and they didn't have a new class of immigrants and didn't know so it was a new experience a lot of them that. there are a bunch of them. and learn about things and knowing it was like for 7 days

for a 6 month period but it was a big part of the people in their. pj's inform the other villagers about the danger they gathered advising them at meetings like this one. most farmers here used to rely purely on wheat it was a lucrative crop but one which consumed huge amounts of water now they cultivate a variety of crops depending on the market situation on the time of year to do that they've divided their fields into individual plots. but. we take a piece of land and divide it into 4 sections. that we use one part each for wheat mustard a shock of flowers and chickpeas don't know what it is by doing that we have enough water and we earn more from our crops but i would demand a lot of that tell. anyone who needs water take some of the precious

ground water from their own well of which there are millions in india getting people to only take a bare minimum and leave enough for everyone else is a challenge for the project. after the fall margaret. knew they were getting there on and there were no concern about. one big brown water and they were just thinking about the site and water they have water but now they are thinking that. if they're about to go that unpopular and sarah walker among them for them to help. then be charged much more water. drip irrigation a kind of micro irrigation and sprinklers are also helping now they mean much less water evaporates or trickles away on use on the fields the new agricultural methods mean farmers here use 70 percent less water. at the

department of soil and water engineering a new type or scientist constantly monitor the water quality in the region with a google john karr's operation. they compare the results from the various pj's in their respective regions once a week the australian project leader links up from western sydney university. he's glad the project has been so well received but adds that there's still a lot to do. the important things we want to do in this project still need to be done there we're looking this we ladies get along. so that they become reality and also make sure that farmers are genuinely in the process not just. lip service. now another opposite arrived which collates all the data. in hindi as well by

special request from the b.j. . the marvie project was logged 8 years ago in the states of garage in russia star with a planned lifespan of 4 years it's been extended several times and last year it was decided to broaden its reach to take in another 20000 villages across 7 indian states. 2 children 2 continents one giant problem water. and love only ever seen a few drops of rain. this year the flood drowned everything. how will climate change affect our health and the health of our children find out more at d.w. dot com slash water. is too often scarce polluted is difficult to

have food handouts from private organizations and sometimes if you're unlucky the help might not reach. here women do the cooking usually over an open wood fire and since this area is not on the grid people use diesel powered generators to get electricity. burning these fossil fuels releases greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change. the authorities had no clear idea about the fuel usage here so they started to gather information before we record and here are used to ignore the type of image. in life. i mean not activity. gets. i don't use it to fit into our climate talks. to him or her. in awe. before mark before us at the missing levels. see 40 is
