making a wax sculpture of u.s. president joe biden and find out the secrets behind the licious german gray. book firstly because the show with the charismatic multitalented minor the swiss singer of the electro pop joe yellow has been entertaining fans for more than 40 years he may be best known for his hit single oh yeah from the 1980 s. but why has other passions besides music which involve beef wine and chocolate we met up with him in zurich to hear more about his calling mary perceives. dieter meyer the singer from yellow isn't just passionate about. he also loves

specialties here in the swiss city of zurich as well as in germany and argentina meyer operates a number of bars and restaurants. mainly serve wines beef and nuts he's produced himself. from the farm to the plate from the vineyard to the bottom there's no middleman. people on. an organic farm in argentina located a 5 hour drive south of osiris it covers several 1000 hectares of land. in the grassland of the pump omega he breeds hereford and angus cattle myer enjoys mixing with the gauchos on horseback as well he spends around 2 months a year here. argentina and it's fertile vegetation never failed to impress him.

there are a few countries in the. old with climate zone. from not. you can find areas where they were. almost a revelation every time i come here to the countryside and see how things are. but this is how people know dever meyer best next to. a singer of the celebrated electro pop duo. meyers been in the music business for over 4 decades yet he never expected to become a successful artist. i was originally a while. but then i go along and that was how. to speak. i would never have become a musician girl or a singer. in august 2020 yellows latest album points. was released and

stormed the european charts the duo creates songs and this studio in zurich he's long been before i always find choruses sound as being incredibly inspiring with this group and it goes like this. it's on an endless loop for me if i listen to it 20 or 30 times and then start to sing it without there being any content to it you know all too often just dog noises. and suddenly a sentence will come together on there's something i can hang on to him face tell him that draws me into the song 9. 1. 1. but his musical success is clearly not enough for peter meyer the pop star is also have been or he always has a glass of wine with dinner. in

argentina as well as in the north of the spanish island of a beef meyer cross his own line here he produces among other wines a red convey a blend of cabernet sauvignon vadra and shiraz you can be here only be 10 elegant i'm up on the hill where we have these fall with wonderfully cool nights and warm but as. well the impression these wines might out there is actually closer to the border of the board or $2.00 to $1.00. back to zurich where the enterprising singer has also become a chocolate here his approach to producing chocolate is as innovative as his music using a patented process called cold extraction allows cocoa beans to be processed without roasting them 1st so they retain their natural aroma. is there no one else and make chocolate the way we can with this cold extraction methods obviously not captures 100 percent of the aroma. the cocoa and then needs much less sugar because we've

been able to remove the potential. wine nuts meat and chocolate when it comes to food and beverages meyer's entrepreneurial spirit knows no bounds. he called me on his knee for can't imagine not working anymore it's my life's blood this is my be so lucky i hope to still be aiming to realize some ideas when i'm 95 or 100 years it's the most wonderful thing there is. both in the music world and the colin area arts dieter meyer has already made his mark. moving on to another celebrity and a very important one at that joe biden has been sworn in as the 46th president of the united states now most of us will never get to meet him in person but it will

be possible to get up close to his likeness in wax british artist jethro crabb is creating a figure that will eventually make its way to a museum in the u.s. state of south dakota we met up with him to see how the waxy biden is taking shape . sculpt objects work studio the sorry hills area of southeast. u.s. president. to wax figure in the presence or form of british prime minister winston churchill whose likeness is also in the world. this beginning stage is really about sort of investigating. the form of his head and practicing sculpture and some of the shapes so nothing to do with features or date. the figure was commissioned by the national presidential wax museum in the us state of south dakota jethro crop has been working on the clay model for 4 weeks but it

will take another 3 or 4 months before it becomes a finished watchword. crap studied sculpture come again his career at madame tussaud. for the legendary love the much music he fashioned lifelike sculptures of many famous people. such as former people call mccartney actress fan bing bing and composer lute big van beethoven. or interests me about. the paper i scoped is that everyone is completely individual and capturing what it is about someone that makes them look that way it can be almost another to have experience you know just getting lost in and the forms and the shots they are sculpting and then you forget about her is that iraq should.

jethro krupp mainly works using photos of the people in sculpting it's rare that he works with large models he focuses more on physical characteristics than personality traits. the amount of research the idea on a character depends. really are much their interest but i don't think it's. strictly necessary to know everything about and. once he's completed his claim of his team helps with the next steps 1st they make a silicon mold strengthen the fiber glass for the heads of the special wax mixture is poured into the silicon mold the hair is inserted strand by strong several layers of oil paint creates an authentic skin tone but here for us talk show host oprah winfrey. left madame tussaud after 8 years and went into business for himself

making caricature as of figures like french president emanuel mccrone entrepreneur must and members of the british royal family created for the satirical show spitting image. just. the way it was prescribed the fall of talking about walking in the process of sculpting a realistic head and sculpting a caricature i had a quite similar. the difference being in the degree there exaggerate the things that unite us weird receive sketches caricature sketches. but that was the freedom for us to add our own style that's really why i enjoy a caricature of. jethro crowe thinks joe biden is characterized by his dazzling white teeth and eye symmetrical smile which gives his face

a slightly longer side appearance but is that enough for a good caricature of a router a caricature a sculpture of biden i'm warming his head as i work on a sort of. seeing the possibilities and. every winter between november and january something very special happens on the german island of heligoland the birth and breeding of gray seals during this time hundreds of young pups are born and raised on the wind protected dunes before they discover the water visitors are allowed to witness these incredible scenes from a distance on a special trail your own x. reporter hendrick unveiling went there for a firsthand look. heligoland is the nursery grounds for the gracie. i'm visiting the north sea archipelago where hundreds of

seal pups are born and raised every year. there are a few places where you can get as close to the grave as in your own heligoland and they're much cuter than i thought but also what more dangerous. after the 2 hour ferry ride i reached germany's only island in the high seas helgoland was once a hideout for pirates before becoming a popular tourist destination in the 19th century but i haven't come to visit the famous sandstone sea stick known as the long ana i'm headed for bar to do you know a smaller aisle next to the main island in the winter there are fewer tourists but many more seals i'm here for them. sometimes there are so many animals that the ranger to power she must knock off the beach for a while this gives the seal some peace and quiet but mainly it's to protect the humans because while they may look cute these are germany's largest predators

living with wild from this special path through the jones we can observe the seals and see where they've come from the vendor to january is mating season and the time when mothers give. us more this is the reason it's so attractive is because it's protected from storm tides and that's very important when it comes to choosing a place to give birth to their young kid gray seal pups need to be on line for at least the 1st 3 to 4 weeks so that's what counts. on just saved. from up close i can observe how mother cycle very young after 2 or 3 weeks the cow leaves a pup on its own from then on it has to fend for itself. although they look much the same they're very different there are fearful pops and ones that

are always out for a final stage that are always unfriend likable foods and ones that just peacefully observe everything so completely different characters. are. off to a few weeks the cops make their 1st attempts at swimming but only after that if or shut their 1st for a coach their company widely new go doesn't offer them enough protection in the want for over 650 pops were born here this winter more than ever before and just 2 weeks after giving birth the cows are ready to mate again. at this time the males are even more aggressive the bulls which way up to $300.00 kilos fight for the cows favor. i witness that right on the beach i feel safer by the rangers side they're good most of those audience the larger one is certainly a young goalie unfortunately he's trying to mate with

a very young female. but they might look cute but they really aren't the this isn't us nish. now i know why we have to stay 30 meters away from them do they bite sure they bite design's who i'd say they could bite right through a leg like ours really. once they've raised the young and made to again the seals gradually leave helical and then there are only a few left until next winter. seeing so many great suits in the wire that's really impressive especially the music they're really really cute but when you get so close to them you realize that they are really really dangerous predators and that's what prefer to watch them from the safe distance. not to satisfy my urge to pet one i've borrowed this stuffed toy from

a daughter definitely the smarter alternative. besides beer germany is best known for its bread now there are thousands of different kinds of bread on offer here with many bakers who relish in instruction or for our series food secrets we find out what goes into making bets threshold loaf of bread. we have over 300000 registered types of bread in germany adored germans of bread crazy we simply love pret. and we shouldn't see bread is just the base for cold cuts or chance cold cuts and cheese or just the supporting acts and bread is the star.

punch to fund the cinema 30 years old and a 4th generation master baker we place great value on tradition across michigan and it all revolves around the wood burning stove which was gorgeous for a good german praed you don't need much more than flour but here in this case it's wheat and rye flour. and then you have salt east water from the store of the shop sourdough whole together the finished product takes about 5 hours to make. this sort of part of was. far all we're putting up with beach and oakwood we let it reach about 262270 degrees celsius then we use the decreasing heat to back 'd when the last loaf comes out the temperature is around

$210.00 degrees. but not in the book of life the salad ripens of the night while the bacon is sleek and sourdough lends enormous flavor to the earth and if we also increases the shelf life. we always mix up fresh leavening points or can ride in the new every day i was i'm taking one kilogram of rye flour and heading 900 milliliter water and adding a piece of sourdough i let dissolve in the water then i mix it all together you can do this either by hand or with a machine. we cover the salad oil and that is set at arms temperature for 24 hours so it can develop completely within the next day it will be incorporated into the present. and or tight this daughter from this salad is from my great grandfather

from 1928. also makes tossed than that in a wood burning up of his 65 percent wheat and 35 percent raw selecting the right flour is enormously important to. the dots not german have some advantages in our own country we can find the 3 major grains used for bread that spelt wheat and rye we grow all of them here so we don't need to import anything and can use the type of grains we have my mom you know my name is bettina lewis and i'm the 2nd bread somalia in germany bread so my game means costs were we listen to the bradley savor the bread and that's how we create the perfect bread for the perfect meal. and i say we are one of the few countries that offer this qualification from apprentice to assistant to master i master needs to be able to create bradish and that's why we have so many new types.

no but come often there are so many things happening inside with enough and often processes within the pred and within the crust of the breath. from dark and all it takes a crust carmel he says which results later in the crispness and also adds to the taste of the shark. a lot more. color is an important factor so here you see we have a one the flip around crust. or 2 also and then the baker has to have an ear for the finished product as if you take the loaf and turn it over and knock on the bottom you should hear this hollow sound and that's all signify that's how we know

that bread is done. and finally here in berlin we haven't had much snow with this winter but one place you will always find it is in a snow globe now they are one of the most popular souvenirs in the world but did you know that they were invented in vienna austria a surgical instrument mechanic named evian patsy came up with the idea by accident over 100 years ago all the parents a family still makes no gloves and can count some high profile celebrities as their customers. month i shouldn't shake a snow globe instead you have to turn it on its head and wait until the snow settles then you turn it back over and it's not. avin patsy the 3rd knows all the secrets about snow gloves his grandfather avin pouncey the 1st conducted his initial experiments in this workshop indiana he was

a mechanic of surgical instruments and an inventor using a glass bowl filled with water he was actually planning to enhance operating room lighting. and it was for the hot more than 120 years ago my grandfather invented the snow globe pure charm something to keep you from he happened to find some semolina in his mother's kitchen and he tossed some in the bowl of water and it soaked up the water and floated down to the bottom of the bowl very slowly and he thought it looks like it's snowing in this cloth balls course that's how the idea was born from the snow globe pretty cool. his grandfather found a miniature version of the basilica in the riyadh sand an austrian pilgrimage site he painted a pedestal with shoe polish and glued on the church setting it in a glass globe in 1900 he applied for a patent on the world's 1st snow globe the flakes fluttered down gently thanks to the viennese formula. my father was the 1st to produce the mixture of snow that we

used to the she and that's my secret so far i'm the only one who knows exactly how it's done. every year the viennese manufacturer produces around 200000 snow globes almost all individual parts are made locally the figures are made by hand a process in which liquid plastic is poured into metal forms and pressed into shape the patsy family has also been experimenting with 3 d. printing. is it obvious that data received. the printer the printer produces the figures layer by layer usually if you do. a couple of penguins i mean joe. as the 1st woman in family history daughters have been a patsy the 2nd has recently joined the business bringing it into the 4th generation she says the future of the company positively customers value tradition
