this is not a u.f.o. i'm not trying to contact daily it's actually a musical instrument called baron all you have to do to play it is move without even touching it the instrument uses a magnetic field to create music when i play it it doesn't sound much like music so we met up with one of the best seremban players in the world to show us how it's done. 2 2 he plays a pheromone without touching it. moving once it will move in the air the notes floating around so i can play a note here or here or here or here.

carolyn or ike numbers among the world's best there are many players she's an echo classic award winner and performs regularly as a soloist the world over here in concert at the brussels philharmonic 2. she also plays electronic music she wrote herself. there are many sets up an electromagnetic field like me influenced by the human body that in turn changes the sound. of this upright antenna determines the pitch when i move towards the end tena the pitch rises.
1:05 am
and this little turn tenure on the other side controls the volume so if i move further away the sound gets louder. russian physicist liane there and then unveiled the instrument 920 some of the musician bands who have experimented with it since are the beach boys led zeppelin tom waits and as john me shows yaar. the movie going public is familiar with the sound of this forbear of the synthesizer from horror and science fiction films it's still used occasionally on soundtracks even now. because this tradition came about because when the pheromone was 1st developed musicians played with lots of abroad even on the violin and other instruments.
1:06 am
among us if you apply that to the fair amenity it sounds a bit spooky. carol you know i got her very 1st there are men at age 7 she learned to play from among others the inventor's own grandniece. by age 16 she developed a new technique that's now in general use world wired it allows the musician to play with far greater precision the instrument reacts to every slightest movement. ever if i so much as breathe. that changes the sound. so to play a very precise note i have to stay completely still i think. but if i play notes more freely and then experimental performance for instance i can move my entire body to.

carolina i did spend some years in stockholm leipzig in los angeles recently moving back to berlin normally she would be playing concerts the world over with the corona pandemic raging she has no live appearances instead she's been working on a new album passing on her expertise a show about a month i've been writing my 2nd primer for the ferryman 15 years ago i wrote my 1st one and now i'm putting out a supplement and of course i'd be happy to see people learn from it and the firemen becoming more white a lot. settle him. the fair man was one of the 1st comic instruments now 100 years after it was invented it still sounds futuristic. but christmas is over but some people still keep their christmas tree until the end
1:08 am
of january then on strong onto the sidewalk where the trash collectors pick it up sometimes the trees are brought to do for the animals to snack on have you ever wondered how it tastes i actually haven't but an austrian ecologist was curious and decided to take a bite and he discovered that you actually can eat your christmas tree. wood candy. the christmas tree looks good enough to teach literally. a christmas tree is actually a food with a very exciting taste that just stands in our living rooms and has never been eaten before. but let's start at the very beginning to its season and is a woodland ecologist from austria in a forest outside of vienna he collects wood to use as an ingredient in some
1:09 am
ingenious recipes trees aren't just for building and decorating they can be tasty treats or wood has an incredible variety of flavors everything really from the oak trees vanilla and chocolate to taste with a bit of coconut to the populars honey flavor or the alder tree with a touch of raspberry it's really an unbelievable range. just like the bark of a cinnamon tree species can also be tapped to use as spices his favorite is finally ground plane bark. flavor is very interesting it's very intensive with a resinous touch to it as you might imagine but also if you know the taste of really dark chocolate the 100 percent cocoa type it also has a bit of that. the trees edible layer is called the candy and it carries water up the trunk into the branches and crown. got the idea to sample the cambium while out canoeing one day and he observed
1:10 am
a beaver family on the shore. a light bulb went on in my head who would know better about the taste of the tree than the beaver that list from it and always looks quite well fed. so i started to try out the bark and cambium from various trees. those are the parts the beavers actually eat. ecology and eating. are 2 interests that go together quite well the woodland gourmet has a rather original plan for discarded christmas trees. for you is now i'll show you how you can prepare the entire christmas tree by from the needles down to the bark cambium and even the wood. first of course the decorations come off then the pine has to be stripped down. 2 for the 1st course the needles are ground up and mixed with knots parmesan cheese and all while to make
1:11 am
a creamy pesto. to get to the juicy cambium the bark has to be peeled away from the trunk it can be fried in the oil to make ultra crispy and surprisingly delicious chips. for dessert i'm sure dries the pine bark and beaks cookies with it. he has to grind it up very fine. mixed with butter sugar and a little flour it yields a dove with a somewhat chocolaty flavor. or and and lastly the ground bark is mixed in and the oven a wonderful pine aroma one fold. and so with a little preparation and
1:12 am
a bit of imagination you don't need to sit down at an empty table you can have a 3 course christmas tree meal next year the old tree won't get thrown out but cooked baked served up and eaten the woodland ecologist has no doubt whatsoever. my business tree tastes better than any holiday dinner. but. if you're not in the mood for us neck an on a christmas tree check out alternatives are you tube channel d w food. delicacy these. stories. do z. has a place to smell amazing the best chefs with their best chips from the meat dishes to begin diets and all the recipe secrets while some oddball europe's diversity is

a smorgasbord this is going to. subscribe and enjoy deep w. food. when british artists and carrie plans a new sculpture she goes on the lookout for the right material at germ shops she takes the started so we're all buttons or a costume jewelry and transforms it into unique artworks celebrities like winner paltrow and elton john are among her fans and her even shields to the queen. all strands of bridge is not. using these and other costume jewelry this artist constructs a sparkling gallion in arduous and painstaking detail. my names and towns and i'm an artist and i make sculptures like this from objects or other
1:14 am
people might throw away. discarded hangers become the focus of ahead chris. old buttons are transformed into a postage stamp some countless cans and bottle caps busts modeled in classical tradition and carrington turned junk into. i like using materials that other people don't notice and bring bring them to their attention something that might be overlooked like a button or a button topic that require a beautiful thing i think it's nice to shine a light on moving objects and for people to be able to see them in a different light. this be ok of flowers is also made of scrap metal. the british artist thomas. is into the petals and stems of flowers as.
1:15 am
she was. into a much nissen rangelands of flowers the impulse to create this sculpture came from old master paintings this was. that i saw in a painting in the rights museum. and i decided that i wanted to make a sculpture inspired by his still life painting. now i'm carrington's own extravagant in case of being exhibited in the victoria and albert museum in london these elaborate pieces cost up 210-0000 euros many celebrities are already having carrington at home there are also appeals to the taste of british royalty. in 2012 for the 60th jubilee of queen elizabeth the 2nd carrington constructed an opulent run up from about half a 1000000 golden buttons the design was developed in close consultation with prince charles the banner was great over the stern of the ship in which the ball family
1:16 am
embarked on a program cruise. with the amazing and of course will you be making. the queen. and actually making a pin. with wonderful. carrington finds the material for her ass in junk shops like this one in her adopted hometown of margate in south east england. a specific object often captures her attention becoming the foundation for a new piece of work. i use a lot of similar materials to make my artwork lots of multiples i know when i come somewhere like this i'm going to find multiples. if i don't have enough hair sometimes i'll go on a. scrap yard or an auction. during her art studies more than 30 years ago uncaring to wasn't ready working with found everyday objects she's used a wide variety of material including 10 but there's one still 10 i'd actually like
1:17 am
to work with glass so i recently did a glass course and now. i can glass a little bit but i'm still no expert but. i've been looking at objects like this and been thinking wouldn't. be fascinating to build maybe crystal flowers hope. building blocks using perfume bottles. no matter what material she gets her hands on and carrington turns in conspicuous junk into beautiful plants of hot. it's called the land of fire and ice and for good reason iceland is home to some of the world's most active volcanoes and largest glaciers in fact the biggest glacier in europe is in iceland for our series europe so the max we send your a max report ahead with
1:18 am
a vending to brave the cold and explore this extra ordinary place so put on your overcoat it will get colds. i slept in the winter it's a place of snow and icy extremes this is the largest glacier in europe. but climate change is endangering it's crevices of ice caves and floating ice bergs high time to explore them on board. or on for a rather large wheel. but neither could glacier is actually an enormous ice cap in southeast iceland with the volume of some 3000 cubic kilometers no other glacier in western europe holds more
1:19 am
it stretches over 140 kilometers east to west across the island southeast. the western tip lies over 300 kilometers from the capital they can be along the southern ring ropes. my 1st destination is an ice skate at the glaciers edge. by 35 ventura. the case can only be reached in a specially adapted sheet this all goes well the trip takes about half an hour. but the weather in iceland is quite unpredictable the road conditions to. we cover the final stretch of the journey on foot one. of the glacier aren't on we are here at one of the volcano you're coots 40 some glacier tops the
1:20 am
ice caves underneath are a popular tourist attraction. the thicker the eyes and the less oxygen it contains the more intense of the color. did you see the broom is the color. if it's mine bill. it's leading you to just caves can only be entered safely during the winter months when the ice overhead stay. after it warms up many of them disappear forever. in the summertime the 'd temperature goes up the ice is melting and we've got water flowing this is cutting the ice which is creating the caves but also the very glaciers are retreating because of global warming so when we go to the cave at the
1:21 am
edge of the glacier the next year it's ringback more probably gone it's a melted where we have to go looking for you. the next day i approached europe's largest leisure from another side. richard bellows taking me to another glacier tongue. the higher we climb the ice year it gets. here i'm beginning to realize the true dimensions of this glacier. the ice reaches a maximum of 950 meters thick but like most glaciers these days the outlook is just retreating. likewise they are almost at the top of that large. oak tree that was kind of the level of the price here so it's gone where. yeah i like to have from the middle of the last 100 years it's
1:22 am
a very fragile organizer if you want so when are that china going to last another sort of 3rd of 300 years and then worst of it will be gone. in our descent the storm took us by surprise. at the foot of the volcano you could glacier confronted with the vastness of nature and suddenly feel very very small. blip was far more it's true that i expected with all the storms are. moving. in. the world. let's go back indoors now over the past 20 years munich based staff and its has created a wide range of everyday objects his designs are the combination of traditional
1:23 am
craftsmanship and the latest technologies he has a look at some of his newest and awards winning creations. colorful minimum estate and clever objects designed by munich stefan dietz range from lamps to furniture to table when. and above all else they have one thing in common understated functionality just as i don't feel good design has a lot to do with acrobatics about come good ask about can manage to make things look elegant even if they're very complex. or complex and. his newest design is a floor lamp that functions for the helps joints instead to move all clips attached to an electrical cord and now the fiberglass rod to be adjusted and the position of the lamp is made of mostly recycled materials and can be disassembled. without the use of tools it once stefan dietz the german sustainability award for 2021.
1:24 am
we made i know it's lamp here almost 5 metres high we came up with this concept of flexible rod with a super lightweight shade attached and we tried to push it to the extreme. so we can put a lamp in a corner and eliminate a dinner table almost 3 metres away from. the floor level to manufacture a mint god is based on that well known model type 113 a desk lamp designed from 1923 just one of the 1st serially produced adjustable lamps welded wahid. 'd let's go back to the products that were last manufactured for the companies or bauhaus designs which are very mechanical and with this background my idea was to do the exact opposite that they had to be something that was kind of the antithesis of this 1920 s. mechanics which is a metallic that's once you got it. creating contemporary form from traditional design designed to bend chair in 2007 employing
1:25 am
a process that uses steam to bend toward the peonies to one of the brothers company made design history with their coffeehouse chair inventing the technique in the middle of the 19th century. leaps further developed the bent toward method for his contemporary chair designs. he also combines industrial assembly with design in 2011 the chest the office chair he designed for the german manufacturer of income was released it uses materials for undercarriage uncomforting production in the auto industry and was awarded the prestigious red dot design award the development took 4 years because of course you can't just walk up to b.m.w. or mercedes and say let's make a chair some designer they don't know approaches them with an idea and of course the company wants to know if they should invest in the project. for me a lot of time goes into this kind of research into finding
1:26 am
a partner who wants to work on the project where the element of craft is not foreign to do before studying industrial design he competed in apprenticeship as a company today in his munich studio together with 4 product designers he develops design is the top produced by such prestigious labels as model so all he 15 by those i give us that i think design is primarily about a light touch even if you're in bishan for a project or project is immense you can't let him do the process with havingness. that's has a lot to do with humor and you have to succeed in taking a playful approach. like through sequences that deets has already designed around 50 products he likes to think outside the box and meanwhile has become one of the most important german designers working today his most recent project is a modern listen for system the slip covers can be changed quickly and easily proving that stefan deeks knew it was
1:27 am
a flexible and sustainable approach to design never goes out of style. and that brings us to the end of our show but visit us online where you will find many more interesting reports as well as our viewer draw we're giving away this backpack full off goodies join us again next week bye bye.

1:31 am
longing to see a return of the holiday makers. sun sand sea for many that's what vacations are all about before the pandemic tourism was one of the world's most important economic sectors making up 10 percent of global economic output providing one in 10 jobs worldwide. the indonesian island of bali takes in around $70000000.00 u.s. dollars from tourists each year and almost 100000 locals are engaged in the tourism industry but the pandemic has hit the tourism sector hard 2020 sor and 80 percent drop in international vacations worldwide so far barley has managed to struggle through but it's hoping for better days soon.
1:32 am
farming seaweed is not exactly get a dream job until march last year he was working as a diving instructor on body. back when all the tourists left the island the 43 year old had no choice but to go back to cultivating seaweed. our whole life has changed dramatically it's a lot easier to earn a living and tourism with seaweed you can just about survive and if you go. so you can only pay something towards them once every $2.00 or 3 months. to much. nowadays he only makes half of what he used to earn and then only in a good month it's the same put tens of thousands of father nice instead of lucrative jobs in a booming tourist industry they've had to fall back on. the. train and see it's not so bad in the early morning before it gets hot but when i have to
1:33 am
go out with the boat 5 to 10 times enough to carry the heavy seaweed it wears you down whereas in tourism you can step into a nicely air conditioned hotel and it's much easier. for. these 2 on the other hand have plenty to smile about living and ballet and you had a wrapped up in the 1st session for social media for 3 years they've been roaming the world as travel influences and their income by advertising for it to operate is right now bali is their home they were admitted on business visas and planned to stay until may. have since we don't have a fixed address and we knew another lockdown was coming the question was what do we do obviously we have to work photography is our job which we couldn't do in europe right now without a lockdown. so while there are 330000 followers injure cold winter lockdowns the couple confront it in

a colorful dream world. they want to maintain their markets ability even if it's hard to earn money at the moment they're anxious to position themselves for the time after the pandemic. pm often often even by me doing some social media management for other european companies that we're still working for and we've still got our savings from last year with living costs being so much lower here than in germany it's really no. problem to be spending our time here. europeans and australians aren't being allowed into bali to go surfing at the moment but an estimated 7000 opted to stay here when the pandemic reached bali's beautiful shawls they mostly digital nomads like took all her from the netherlands only needs a laptop for her work like many she ignored warnings to leave indonesia come back home these are are your last chances it's going to be unsafe to stay we are.
1:35 am
then a lot of people left and that was strange because it went from a really busy community to empty and a little bit scary too because you like. the business consultant had only just moved to bali from new zealand when the pandemic started initially work was scarce a lot of companies were forced to cut costs but cook says things are improving again and her customers are now used to have video calls from bali. i think we're going in a digital way and not working in an office from 9 to 5 is going to be a more accepted way of working i think there's going to be more flexibility both from have the years of seeing that ok it was explained people are not in a physical location but also i think people will want more freedom a kid a poor track and his family are simply hoping to make it through the crisis they pray the pandemic will soon pass and he can go back to teaching people to dine. but
1:36 am
his wife will definitely continue farming seaweed as a source of extra income that's already decided. to. go with a good income from tourism i suppose we used to live a little beyond our means now we having to learn to live on a tight budget even when coverage is going. we need to keep that in the back of our minds. through. digital no birds and balinese alike are dreaming of a fresh start after the pandemic. but the hardships of covert 19 are clearly very evenly distributed. in 29000 more than 90000 ships crisscrossed our planet's oceans their engines and propellers filling the waters with a constant bust of sound such noise pollution can be very stressful for marine life
1:37 am
take whales they use sound waves to communicate with one another across vast areas to locate food sources or find a mate widespread human generated noise has reduced their communication range by as much as 90 percent some whales lose their bearings and can end up stranded on beaches. long range acoustic devices used to locate oil reserves and military sound locators a particularly problematic louder than jet aircraft they can damage of whales hearing the pandemic induced com has been a blessing for well there's. an old refurbished trawler heads out to the sea near the norwegian port of undernourished it's not on a fishing expedition but a whale watching trip and it's carrying 50 expectant tourists on board sightings have become less frequent in recent years growing noise levels are driving the
1:38 am
giant marine mammals away. or the noise spreads differently on the water compared to on land on the whales field of. most well species are highly sensitive to noise even at considerable distances. so we have to be very careful not to generate too much disturbance while maneuvering. the roof we've even installed an ultra quiet propellers. the seabed dropped sharply near the low food islands making the waters here an ideal habitat for whales. but house all over the globe the volume of maritime traffic has risen steadily in recent years from trawlers to cruise liners and cargo ships and even submarines the noise has an irritating effect on whales similar to tinnitus and humans and it impacts their behavior dramatically. mandible more you're a lot of movement in the water mains additional stress for the world so fishing
1:39 am
boats will be a problem here because there are so many of them or sometimes even collide with the whales especially on a winter when it's dark into the. but now the traffic has almost disappeared due to the corona virus pandemic. almost a whale swimming around a mile away from here. and we should be able to hear it in a minute. and the ship's underwater microphone soon pick up the characteristic clicks which the whales used to locate food they started there so. that she blows a sperm whale maybe 50 meters in length. and never excitement the tourists have trouble social distancing. all.
1:40 am
kids who are in the extreme north of europe the pandemic has led to a big drop increase line of traffic. most of the ships remain morte for maritime research as those calm waters mean a welcome opportunity to deepen their understanding of the world's. oceans further south scientist danielle misson has been studying like to noise pollution in the sea for years the positive influence of the lockdown can be observed right head in trondheim fjord. they were getting caught it took to green clarke recently spotted 2 or 3 pilot whales well that's not enough for an empirical analysis so one thing's for sure i've never seen pilot whales so close to the city center. there tonight. the researches use this device to assess the water quality off the coast of
1:41 am
trondheim this is a standard procedure but the team also have other more ambitious things in mind. they want to find out what impacts this unaccustomed silence is having on the underwater world and on the behavior of everything from the tiniest organisms to huge whales. how they hunt and find food and how they communicate now undisturbed by human make noise. colleagues of get your own sense of also installed a network of underwater microphones in the atlantic in the north sea in the wake of coronavirus restrictions noise levels have dropped by up to 25 percent in some places the research has reckon that hasn't been this quiet in perhaps 150 years. with me showing some news on their home country and more us researchers this is a unique opportunity their shipping traffic might be gradually increasing again but
1:42 am
for months there was practically no human activity on the water you are going to say after the researchers want to show how good this break is banned for life under water. but in the extreme north of norway nature has a treat in store for the tourists a part of pilot whales. they are known to pop up now and again in these arctic waters but it's rare to see this many is so close. sure and there it's important to appreciate in true value of these creatures or i notice that every day even the old worthless if the sea is so rich in life and it's so beautiful to come out here and show people the whales that we do have to be mindful of protecting nature you know the. richer ray of life is enjoying the relative peace here at least for the time being.
1:43 am
an estimated 40000000 people around the world a blind or visually impaired those who can't see rely heavily on other senses such as hearing room or touch being without sight does not necessarily mean being socially isolated however a love of music has brought a group of visually impaired women together in cairo egypt's only blind or castro is determined to keep making music despite the coronavirus restrictions. a sense of light at the end of the tunnel after months living withdrawn in her cairo home. he's beginning to venture around the playing musicians' mother is carefully guiding her through the city the coronavirus makes each exploratory finger to touch a health risk. once her life back she wants to play again. of course i miss my violin and how we make music together rehearsals the church at.
1:44 am
least in the need of and i was frightened of losing my dexterity and the guessing all the compositions i spent so much time and effort on learning of the years thought the best nothing was know the joy of returning to a familiar setting my was really mine went to school at the door while i'm out or life in hope association for many years she learned to play the violin there it was her chance to take control of her life in a society which tends to shun and sideline people with disabilities the 100 or more students here form a close community they go to classes play music even sleep at the institute the coronavirus cruelly rip them apart and away from their instruments which remained in the school but now they're back and hungry to practice for now anyway in small socially distance groups. thank. you.
1:45 am
well what i did then i'm so happy sitting around at home was terribly monotonous and there was nothing to do this is our work and we all love it. but. the smell of disinfectant hovers around the rehearsal room half of the chairs empty the other musicians have to stay at home. the young women are out of practice now their conductor has his hands full. here the moment i think that from we're gradually getting back to our old form but every single musician has to keep practicing to get better than when the way he lives in the hallway a year on the steering the light and hope association through troubled coronavirus
1:46 am
waters is not an easy task concert revenues and donations have collapsed. be quite honestly i'm worried that we might have to hold our activities here after so many years of. a concert is lined up after a 5 month forced break the chamber orchestra is nervous but full of anticipation as it makes its way through cairo back on the road in masks the official infection rate is low in egypt but recently cases have been skyrocketing here as well the number of unrecorded cases is thought to be high one more reason to make this an open air concert with a small audience and organized by the culture ministry. the home is on the over the moon and i've missed the concert so badly that was the atmosphere and experiencing everything together with my friends and i was all of you.

1:50 am
been mired in crisis for years our reporter france venky paid a visit to the country before the pandemic for our global ideas series there he met with the matter of fun that has become an expert on climate change. there is only enough moisture in the sand for the butterflies even though the rainy season just ended. up doing. is the mayor of a town in southern mali. and. it wasn't his drawing 10 years ago now we can't write any more we don't stop shopping on trains we soon won't have any rain at all. a few months ago mayor coulibaly got a phone call from the capital bamako it was an invitation to take part in a seminar on climate change one that the mayor was happy to accept. as now for to me any form or training i've been opposed to the destruction of our
1:51 am
forests for a long time. but thanks to the workshop i learned even more about the consequences of deforestation. it inspired me to do more to protect nature and the environment. to get us. up to like is one of around $3500.00 officials in mali who have taken part in the climate change seminars these days protecting the environment is on the agenda of almost every council meeting. most of foreigners 30000 residents are poor and subsist on what the land gives them cotton is the most important crop here. but growing it takes a lot of water. the niger river is an important lifeline for mali and supplies the
1:52 am
country with water year round. but it's too far away for the farmers and finally they have to depend on grain water. now that rain has become scarce many local farmers have begun selling charcoal. mali's dependence on wooden charcoal for fuel is a major contributor to deforestation. funny and his brother my do are both farmers and also operate a small roadside stand. here. we're not selling charcoal for fun. we know that climate change is real. and we do. it in the land doesn't give us enough to survive on. if we had a choice stop selling charcoal. but things may be changing thanks to the new insights the mayor gained at the workshop. those new
1:53 am
ideas have won over shaken. he and his family ran a small farm on just 2 hectares of land in recent years the harvests have been too small recently shake mamadou started planting different crops now his family can make ends meet without destroying the forest. and told us that fewer trees means less rain. that's why i decided to stop making charcoal and start planting trees. are going to live off the i sell trees from my nursery and grow eucalyptus trees that i sell for lumber. he's already sold more than $10000.00 seedlings. conservationism is taking root in fana ever since the mayor launched his environmental campaign.
1:54 am
