pretty seals might look adorable but they can be quite dangerous we will show you where you can observe germany's biggest predator in the wild. i want to welcome to a new edition of your own max with me your host meghan lee there is a look at what else we have in store for you today. see why is this artist is making a wax sculpture of the u.s. president joe biden and find out the secrets behind licious germany right. now but 1st we get off the show with the charismatic multitalented meyer 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 meyer has other passions besides music which in. beef wine and chocolate we met up with him in zurich to hear more about his calling mary percy. dieter meyer the singer from yellow isn't just passionate about music he also loves . here in the swiss city of zurich as well as in germany and argentina meyer operates a number of bars and restaurants. they mainly serve wines beef and nuts he's produced himself. to the plate from the to the.

people. meyer owns an organic farm in argentina located a 5 hour drive south of. it cover several 1000 hectares of land. in the grassland of the. he breeds hereford and angus cattle meyer enjoys mixing with the gauchos on horseback as well he spends around 2 months a year here. argentina and its fertile vegetation never fail to impress him. there are a few trees and. you can find areas where. the revelation every time i come here to the countryside and see. but this is how people know dieter meyer best. as 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. well i was originally a while then the coast punk but then i got to know boris your lung full door and that was how the lead 100 counted so to speak without us i would never have become a musician gold or a singer. in august 2020 yellows latest album point was released and storms the european charts the duo creates its songs and this studio in zurich he's long been before i always find choruses sound as being incredibly inspiring with those given 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 it's all just dog noises. and suddenly a sense most will come together there's something i can hang onto him face tell him

that draws me into the song 9. 111. but his musical success is clearly not enough for peter meyer the pop star is also a ventnor he always has a glass of wine with dinner. in argentina as well as in the north of the spanish island of a pizza meyer grows his own wine here he produces among other wines a red today a blend of cabernet sauvignon vadra and shiraz you can be here only pizza you buy wines are 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 a board of 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. no one else and make chocolate the way we can with this cold extraction method captures 100 percent of the aroma from the cocoa and then need 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. need for can't imagine not working anymore it's my life. this is mine and should i be so lucky to still be i'm going to realize some ideas when i'm 95 or 100. it's the most wonderful thing there is.

both in the music world and the colon 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 . iraqi politics. just sort of studio sorry hills area of southeast. new u.s. president is being modeled for

a future wax figure in the presence of former 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 sculpting some of the shapes so nothing to do with features or data shows at this stage. 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. crab studied sculpture and began his career at madame tussaud . the legendary london watch museum fashioned lifelike sculptures of many famous people. such as former people who mccartney actress fun being big and composer lute big ben bank of. war interests me about. the people 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 like medicine to have an experience you know just getting lost in and the forms and the shots they are sculpting and then you forget about her is that you're actually working. through a crop 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 and on a character depends. really are much their interest but i don't think it's. strictly necessary to know everything about me and director i'm

sculpting once he's completed his play model his team helps with the next then. first they make a silicon mold strengthen the fiber glass for the heads a special wax mixture is poured into the silicon most. the hair is inserted strand by strand several layers of oil paint create an authentic skin tone like hear for us talk show host oprah winfrey. left madame tussaud after 8 years and went into business for himself making caricature as a figures like french president the money from across entrepreneur us and members of the british royal family created for the satirical showed spitting image from just. about the way it was treated from. the falls i'm talking about walking in the process of sculpting a realistic head and sculpting a caricature i had quite similar. the difference being in the degree there

exaggerate the things that unite us we would 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 crow 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 or bear out or a caricature 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 belling went there for a firsthand look. heligoland is a nursery grounds for the gracie. i'm visiting the north sea archipelago but 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 stake known as the long ana i'm headed for the 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 block off the beach for a while this gives the seal some peace and quiet but mainly it's to protect the students because while they may look cute these are germany's largest predators living 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 birth. it's more of this is not 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 $3.00 to $4.00 weeks so that's what counts. on just saved. from up close i can observe how mother suckled the 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 like a buffet and ones that just peacefully observe everything so completely different characters. are. off to a few weeks the pops make their 1st attempts at swimming but only after that if mole or shut their 1st for a coat the company widely new go doesn't offer them enough protection in the walked . over 650 parks 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 boats which way up to $300.00 kilos fight for the cows favor. i witness that right on the beach i threw safer by the rangers side there goes a hose off the ends the larger one is certainly a young boy unfortunately he's trying to mate with a very young female. but they might look cute but they really aren't. this isn't us nish. now i know why we have to stay 30 meters away from them too they'll bite sure they bite design's who i'd say they could bite right through a leg like ours it was really. once that raised the young and made to begin to

see it's gradually leave helical and then there are only a few left until next winter. seeing so many grace nudes in the wire that's really impressive especially the little babies they're really really cute when you get so close to them you realize that they are really really dangerous predators and that's what i prefer to watch them from the safe distance. but 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 strength or for our series food secrets we find out what goes into making that special loaf of

bread. we have over 300000 registered types of bread in germany adored germans of bread crazy we simply love bread. and we shouldn't see bread is just the base for cold cuts or chains cold cuts and cheese or just the supporting acts and bread is the star. hunched deafened cinema 30 years old and a 4th generation mass to break up the place great value on tradition across much its own it all revolves around the wood burning stove that it was gorgeous for a good german praed you don't need much more than flour but here in this cups it's wheat and rye flour you know how can you have salt east water from the star of the

show sourdough whole together the finished product takes about 5 hours to make. this sort of part of the war in the field. with lighting up a beach and oakwood we let it reach about 262270 degrees celsius then we use the decreasing heat to bangkok 'd when the last lot of comes out the temperature is around $210.00 degrees. but not in the book of life the sourdough ripens of the night while the bake is sleek and sourdough lends enormous flavor to the kind of also increases the shelf life. we always mix up fresh leavening so it can ripen a new every day i may remember i'm thinking one kilogram of rye flour and having

900 milliliter water and adding a piece of salad i let dissolve in the water then i mix it all together you can do this either by hand or with a machine which we cover the sourdough and that is set at arm's temperature for 24 hours so it can develop completely in the next day it will be incorporated into the present. and then or try. this daughter from this salad as for my great grandfather from 1928. all school already makes tossed bandit in a wood burning off and he's 65 percent wheat and 35 percent raw so selecting the right flour is enormously important. if you don't have some advantages in our own country we can find the 3 major grains used for bread that's 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 number 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 on there are so many things happening inside that was that i think nothing of the processes within the print was done within the crust of the bread. and cheese on it takes a crust carmel ices which results later in the christmas and also adds to the taste

and over to the truck. was a lot more. color is an important factor so here you see we have a wonderfully brown crust. for it to also home and then the baker has to have an if for the finished product out of if you take the loaf and turn it over and knock on the bottom you should hear this hollow sound and that's all signifying that's how we know that bread is down. and finally here in berlin we haven't had much snow 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 evi patsy came up with the idea but accident over 100 years ago all the parents the family still makes no gloves and can count

some high profile celebrities as their customers. month i should shake a snow globe instead you have to turn it on its head and wait until the snow settles when you turn it back over and it's not. adding patsy the 3rd knows all the secrets about snow gloves his grandfather avin patsy the 1st conducted his initial experiments in this workshop in vienna 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. the windows for what more than 120 years ago my grandfather invented the snow globe pure charm something the creature for 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 that he thought it looks like it's snowing in this glass bottles of course that's how the idea was born from the snow globe appreciate. 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. yes meant my father was the 1st to produce the mixture of snow that we used to the 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. the other day to recenter. the printer and the printer produces the figures layer by layer. if you can with. 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 sees the future of the company positively customers value tradition . back to the source people want to know what they're consuming these are the things they're buying come from you can trace the provenance of every snow globe that leaves this building this globe has a face and that's that's my family this is man if amelia. having patsy's wife is a bean a patsy the 1st paints dozens of snow globes a day many customers commission designs the family uses originality to

survive against copy cat and low cost competitors proving they have a sense of humor even during the corona crisis. as it does this is the most celebrated snowglobe 2020. our snow globe featuring a roll of toilet paper was the absolute best seller people lined up in the street to get one of these snow globes to recall one. directly next to the workshop is the family's own snow globe museum the unease snow globe is a top export 3 former u.s. presidents have one on a shelf. like this snow globe for the obama family i think you gift given by a resident of vienna on a visit to the white house the company presently stocks more than 350 motifs. remember and you guys in a. perfect world and that's been my world for over 40 years.

and cozy world where it always snows. and with that we were about another shout now don't forget to check out our website for this week's draw and a chance of becoming the proud owner of this backpack and other goodies you can also follow us on facebook as always thanks for tuning in and we'll see you again soon.

suffering it's the environment we went on a journey to find ways out of the new question if you want to know how old one cliff to the priest i'm home trust changed doesn't need to listen to our podcast on the green thumbs. welcome to global 3 thousands. return of the train these 2 sisters are replenishing a forest in brazil. dirty fuels in india anger is growing towards the coal industry. but 1st profit climate is abandoning capitalism the answer to saving operands.

more commodities more production more consumers more consumption more growth and. more profit it's a never ending spiral the promise of our economic system. but can this really go on forever unlimited growth on unlimited planets. we're already experiencing it's alarming affects our climate is changing storms caused untold damage as do droughts and floods every year 10000000 hectares of fertile land is lost overfishing is devastating our oceans forests are shrinking and with that much of a spiral diversity we've reached a crossroads. our forests are already beginning to change in many places.

these protesters are fighting to limit that change and to save our planet the activists from friday's futures say it's a matter of life and death and many experts agree just give me. the it's not just about surviving somehow it's about safeguarding the future where we don't have lots of species dying out or entire regions that are uninhabitable and people fighting each other to survive. and loving the climate to warm by 2 degrees celsius or more above pre-industrial levels would have serious consequences but studies suggest it's not too late to avert disaster if that's true why is so little being done. about seeing it this is what we're lacking and that's the problem is the economic link information on what would happen if we took the necessary action what

would it mean for jumps income as little savings if that's the information that politicians need in order to decide whether we can start moving toward a slow. neutral economy. green growth is the new password the idea is that the economy can continue to grow steadily while wind and solar power and other technologies to emissions but many experts say that's not enough. even if we were to switch to renewables completely we'd still have some emissions in the background because we need to acquire all the raw materials. carbon with our view so it's an allusion to think we can have growth there is 100 percent grain. take hydrogen feel it's use doesn't emit carbon but producing it usually does and the idea that green energy can power infinite economic growth is an illusion says business journalist helen

what we need is a form of green d growth but that defines the very ethos of capitalism. this isn't in the softened historically every time energy efficiency improves and the amount of energy needed to produce a specific product declines capitalism says ok then you can grow. when you need less energy to produce the same product your productivity increases and you can use the supposed saving to produce more it's this mechanism that needs to change. deliberate with that even be compatible with capitalism which depends on accumulation and grows if the economy shrinks assets are diminished what would happen to return on investments pensions swiss economics professor. points out that capitalism isn't all bad.

it has a very large number of positive elements. material prosperity it leads to full employment. very good standard of living today so the whole thing is a people and as soon as we realize that all these positive aspects of capitalism would also fall away the desire for change tends to evaporate. the coronavirus has seen economies shrink and many are worried about their livelihoods others have learned to live with less less shopping and fewer flights could that be a lesson of the pen demick less is more no says hemant because right now we actually need more growth. this paradox if that's the paradox we know that we need to produce less if we want to protect the climate but because of the covert $1000.00 crisis we need to stimulate the economy right now otherwise we might end up in a severe economic crisis that could allow populists to get into power the dunwood

at so far that's probably listening to what. she says limiting climate change will require not only scientists but economists we need to develop a new economic system a system that's not based on endless growth and the destruction of the planet. within the $2500.00 it's true that you can't bargain with nature fridays for future movement is right so the question is will we end capitalism in time and in an orderly fashion or will the system collapse in chaos at some point because our planet's limits have been boundlessly exceeded. but others say it's not so simple the obvious ending to how to listen would be the solution if we had an alternative in fact. we don't. doesn't believe in major system change he believes the answer will be found in many. such as moving to

locally produced food companies that are less profit hungry and tentative system of stocks and shares. try to gradually improve to moderate our growth some things the same time ensuring that the economic system continues to function. but actually it would be revolutionary. and even this revolution would involve giving up certain things that we may have grown accustomed to certain privileges that affluent countries and people enjoy. but it will take a hammer and says we'll have no other choice if resources become scarce. we must give up certain things but it will require planning and the involvement of the state. if everyone gives up their car what happens to people who work in the

automotive industry a large majority of society needs to agree that yes we need to abstain make some sacrifices and then figure out how to organize that at the state level. the trouble is abstention and sacrifice don't sound that appealing to most philosophers from the day they occur believes things will only change when people start to realize that abstention is not only losing something but gaining something better. when you picture all the riches beauty and diversity of our planet is things you can just enjoy and don't need to possess that you can live among and savor with all your senses then this question of abstraction is transformed do we really want to live without birds singing in the forest or do we want to preserve that pleasure that richness of all the entire debate on abstention just seems to focus on maintaining our own privileges our lifestyle but those

things aren't life itself. honestly it. accidental questions with no easy answers but what is at stake here is life itself . more and more people around the world are starting to value and protect the wildlife around them the u.n. estimates that in recent years more than 13000000000 trees have been planted worldwide. for our global ideas series we went to brazil where our reporter bianca cops traveled to the saturday mantic yet a mountain there she met women who are working to replenish the atlantic forest 90 percent of which has been destroyed. 2 sisters have realized their childhood dream on apollo and flavia body any are

growing tree saplings to replenish brazil's atlantic forest up to $130.00 indigenous species many of which are threatened with extinction a large part of the atlantic a rain forest has been cut down shocked by the destruction of their native woodland the 2 women founded their own environmental group when they were just teenagers. the atlantic rain forest is among the world's most diverse natural habitats it has a very wide variety of species it's also one of the most threatened natural habitats our work aims to preserve our native forest through protection restoration and tree planting. they started out with great dedication and very little money but the work has since grown considerably the biologists now supply the entire region with plants from their nursery huge sales are an important source of income to finance the work of their angio. growing about

$400000.00 seedlings each year is just a part of it. is on her way to plant some of their seedlings here in the mountainous region of said i didn't want to get up in southeastern brazil. the area is now dominated by coffee plantations and grazing land for livestock there's hardly anything left of the original forest and yet trees play a vital role in preserving groundwater supplies. but efforts to reforest the area depend on the landowners. the natural sources of wood people's property are slowly drying up but these landowners here no longer have any water coming by reforesting we aim to restore the vegetation cover and rehabilitate the land so that groundwater levels can be replenished a bit about. the farmers only recently purchased their property.

30 years ago the land was cleared for potato farming and later used for grazing. this was the spray. level that is water used to flow from here in this direction our. half of the property is forested now the couple wants to bring the forest cover up to the field where they have their organic farm a few days earlier on apollo and her angio planted 4 and a half 1000 seedlings here now she's bringing a few fruit trees as well. she says the fruit trees need more space to grow well so they're being planted in a more open area. the seedlings are hard to see in the middle of the meadow but within just 2 or 3 years they will have grown into a small forest. there. if you have vegetation cover

the ground is protected and there is no erosion. of when it rains a good part of it filters down and fills the groundwater reservoir. that's how we can regenerate this spring this. sort of thing. on apollo will assist the farmers for 2 years until the trees are well established her n.g.o.s work is mainly financed via donations and company partnerships for the farmers it's free. we've now we're covering the soil around the seedling with grass she explains this way it can stay moist and develop better. on apollo and cope by anybody have helped more than 200 landowners restore their forests but not everyone is up for it at 1st she and her organization often have to work hard to convince the landowners. so the ngo has joined forces with a large scale reforestation program called the month conservation project it's

supported by germany's international climate initiative more than 400 cities universities environmental groups and companies in and around brazil's extrema region are involved extrema is something of a pioneer in this area laying down environmental requirements for local businesses and providing bonuses for the farmers are you know but i was moved to say that because we're in brazil the farmers have always been encouraged to clear the forest to work economically once and gain more farmland i would while not a new message is the exact opposite they should reduce their grazing land and instead plant forests and be paid for it to. you has to be put the whole thing is financed by local companies who pay contributions to the community in order to neutralize their greenhouse gas emissions that are designed so as innocent as you guys are great just to throw the authorities in extreme have set up their own

nursery taking reforestation matters into their own hands. but the need is so great that they also get seedlings from the copiah and 10000 of them just today. the municipality planted the surrounding forest between 8 and 15 years ago on cleared land it plans to restore 1500000 hectares of the atlantic a rain forest as part of a conservation plan involving numerous cities a big step for climate protection in brazil the project is also designed to secure the water supply from the mountainous region it's a vital source of water for brazil's biggest cities and rio de janeiro alone which is 450 kilometers away nearly 10000000 people depend on that water. the program has nationwide implications as one of the original project partners explains disease in mali there is now

a bill proposing to pay for conservation related services brazilian society now recognizes that we need to invest in this area and that both farmers and city dwellers will benefit from. the cold by evil sisters set a good example on their property in the month to get our mountains before they owned the land they reforested it for the previous owners the property owners were so taken with the results they later gave them the land for free as a donation for conservation fakes to the forest water came back to the dried up spring. i got for cooking this work is so worthwhile. when we go to a property and the owner tells us the water has returned it really energizes us to keep up the fight. it's very painstaking work and it takes a long time to see results but when it happens it sensational things also help. the environmental activists have now planted more than 700000 trees and over 600

hectares of land far more than they ever dreamed of when they started out as teenagers. children to come to this. one giant problem and when you're in it in no mood to see. anything not even a little features including lately i was thinking. how will climate change affect us and our children. learn more and be w dot com slash water. cold power stations are responsible for a 3rd of global c o 2 emissions they also produce a huge amount of dust and ash which pollute the air and the soil. almost 2500 coal palace stations astin and most of them in china

india and the us in the indian state of people are now protesting against the continued use of coal. who does go up along to the go winds that's what these protesters are now don't are chanting across the state environmental action groups hold such events almost every day they want to raise awareness of the plans for a huge increase in coal imports and the construction of another set of train tracks to transport the coal into the interior i. l a mosque or in yes organizes many of these events she's on a mission to stop the passage of course for the state. she says the coal goes to steel factories and power stations up to a 1000 kilometers away in the neighboring states of karnataka and maharashtra it's not even for the go inside themselves you want. the next stage of her at the

railway tracks she says the freight cars lose a lot of coal and coal dust because they're not properly sealed you can see this clearly. on the tracks in the month that goes into ground water that sits well into our drinking water. so 4 years ago she discovered the dust was threatening the health of her family. my son. and i took him to several doctors they did 7 tests. he had to take the neighbor. he was also put on steroids. over $10000000.00 tonnes of coal arrived at the port of mormon every year it's then transported by truck or train across the central government has approved a plan to increase coal imports fine fold to $51000000.00 tonnes

a year by least 2035 the coal is imported from australia south africa and indonesia by 3 companies dhani and. heading east into the interior of the trains pass through in a forested area rich in biodiversity international studies have shown that up to one percent of coal is lost for each 500 kilometers of transit that's at least 300 kilograms per wagon and there are 3 trains with more than 50 wagons per hour. yes shows us where a 2nd set of tracks is to be built so that more coal can be transported she says houses here are solid by the dust many of also sustained damage because the ground shakes when the trains go by they now face demolition she tries to reach out to older people in the area. many feel trapped and helpless.

in the colas. pollution. those things are not. and. then you have killed problems you have. any chance in london huge id be less the bad one might have your wildlife sanctuary is part of the western ghats a mountain range recognized by unesco as one of the world's 8 hottest hotspots of biodiversity nonetheless nearby thousands of trees have been felled to make way for a substation for the power line to serve the new broadway tracks krishna zoar who's tried lives in the protected area fears the land trees animals and water sources are in jeopardy he had worried that once the water missiles were wide anyone is gone they will start coming in dalby latest big weekend right now we can see the monkeys there they. are in all that we need they don't even allow us to grow by 9 other stuff so they eat the protests alone won't help he says.
