6:32 pm

6:33 pm
playing buffalo. she had heard. good. we had 6 weeks to prepare and all mexico before the shoot to get a very big guy and then we had another 3 weeks training actually you know what an hour and a half every day after school so it was really important to me to learn exactly how derek to think that they sunk morningstar and while high i think in a straight line and to learn about their culture or tool you can certainly the arts one skill she didn't have to learn was how to ride a horse she's been doing that since age 4 on that score she was even quite a bit ahead of her screen partner but she also learned a great deal from tom hanks and you can only advice like always be punctual know your lines and be nice to everybody. and you should always offer help to your
6:34 pm
screen partner in the last scene for example where we both ended up crying he cried all over again and everything just so i'd be able to and i thought that was really amazing that he was able to keep doing that every time. already has an impressive acting career behind her she 1st sit in front of a camera at age 5 she landed her 1st lead role in a feature film at age 9 early on she tackled some extremely challenging parts of helen and made a splash with system crasher impressing audiences with her raw energy she played 9 year old benny. a severely traumatized and of control girl. and number of scenes proved extrude the challenger. no matter what you always have
6:35 pm
to bear in mind this is what's in the script and the way the director wants it out that's the role and i just have to do it i'm an actress and this is my profession because that's what the film needs if you're close with the people you work with well and you can laugh about things the traps not half bad. the drama one critical acclaim and over 40 awards and the german film award for best actress went to. part with your help paula keep on. hell i'm not saying. oh my god. the road became hellene as a breakthrough for her international career. the director paul greengrass saw me at the 2019 prison film festival and said to his assistant look what she can do with her eyes and he thought it was just so overwhelming that i did my 2 a casting call in berlin or well me and then into london then i knew i'd get the part done on don. helena spent 3 months in the united states to shoot
6:36 pm
news of the world in that time she became close friends with tom hanks. was his role was kind of a fatherly grandfather one and he got to be incredibly important to me we still write each other very often and tell each other about what is we're up to and that's really great that we have such a good connection now at 1st i never would have thought we could get off and what does the future hold. and well my ambition is to please myself and the audience just to make great movies and maybe have some impact on society just various topics like in system crasher plus i'd like to have a star on the walk of fame but i think most important of all is to keep my feet on the ground and really clear idea of what i'd like to do. and news of helena's world just keeps coming the latest is that she's been nominated for a golden globe. the show must go on even in a pandemic therefore fashion designers have gotten creative with how to present
6:37 pm
their collections at paris fashion week the shows were drastically different compared to past years with either no audience members or a limited number of spectators sitting at a distance so to increase the reach of their audience many designers have turned to making films for their catwalk creations then these fashion films are put on social media we had a behind the scenes look. this is down to standard fendi show when paris featured the likes of american actress demi moore and big name international to make models like bella had read kate moss and they only campbell. but there was no audience for press. could still buy chanel was also presented in the car paris in front of mostly empty chairs with just a few guests present such as french actress says the r. and vanessa part i.v.
6:38 pm
who respected social distancing. fashion journalist godfrey deni watches the could 2 shows online on his computer but half the richest. developed. of course the whole point about big fashion shows is there are probably good raw material for social media. never mind the magazines leaving the people by surprise why so big shows are being driven by social media. so they have to create something thoughts bush. just called the trench model louise does she believe doesn't think this is all going to show by chanel is much like a normal fashion show either to the station or you normally we get one shot at going down the catwalk in front of a live audience pumped with adrenaline and all worked up backstage about facing the photographers and journalists see what this year is much calmer if you can we do
6:39 pm
several takes so they can be edited into a perfect video. the new collection from the your was presented in a high quality 15 minute fashion film that took 3 months for dior designer maddie at the red sea a curious and italian director material got on there to produce. the region designer julia for he has also the. i'm a director when you specialize in old go to 11 years ago one of his dresses would go for 40000 euros or more and despite the pandemic he hasn't seen much of a drop in sales even if his customers mainly from the middle east and asia are currently looking for somewhat less extravagant claims his 9 minute fashion clip boasts about the same budget as a fashion show but making a film is more work. if a show is much easier than the clothes are already on for about 13 minutes models
6:40 pm
just have to walk in a film on the other hand they have to really act they have to decide with the cameramen what scenes you shoot and how and then comes the editing process you really have to direct the piece keep you busy time but they don't have is a stroke so that if you got a show you do a traditional catwalk and just walk in a straight line but in a film i can express myself and i like that better ok fashion films have become a dedicated job with some brands such as gucci now showing a whole series here is a scene from gucci fest. fashion companies such as sauna all have stopped organizing any shows and are relying exclusively on social media with creative films the depths designer do all victor and was is presenting their new uk could still collection in an empty art center just outside amsterdam they say some changes are here to stay. sober
6:41 pm
where is the importance of social. status. we speak your words so which is different from for. fashion films will probably never come to completely replace physical fashion shows but brands have proved ingenious in finding creative ways to present new connections and they will not hesitate to tap this potential to wits focused. now you may think that is a bird tweeting but actually it's someone who whistle and most of us whistle for pleasure or to get someone's attention without thinking about a deeper meaning but did you know that whistling was developed as a way to communicate over long distances on the canary island of whistling is still
6:42 pm
used to communicate and it's even taught in school. reporter hendrick belling traveled there for a firsthand lesson. in. songs like bees be heard on the mountain. but the island goes on just whistling for fun they're communicating with one another across great distances. what to be honest i haven't understood anything but that makes me sort of curious because that's the way how people can communicate over here unbelievable i think but a good reason to listen a little bit closer. i set out with us in your diary just to discover the secret of the sago camaro the what's the language of the volcanic island.
6:43 pm
america's the 2nd smallest of spain's canary islands an archipelago in the atlantic some 1500 kilometers from the spanish mainland. the island just thinly populated with a scattering of little mountain villages an estimated 20000 people know the withstood language the unusual way of communicating originated in these mountains which up to 1500 meters high of a new daddy has heard his grandfather's go belly up. as whistled language was invented because of the island's geography. you know it's hard to reach and has many gorgeous. made it easier for us to work with the livestock if you know we didn't have to walk up and down the mountains to talk to each other anymore. we could just do it by wessling from on high.
6:44 pm
civil monsters like us in your daddy yes can make themselves understood at distances up to 3 kilometers the tradition dates back thousands of years but the advent of mobile phones eliminated the need for this form of communication and the wist of language seemed doomed to extinction yet today young people have rediscovered for themselves. but i'm here him part of the. civil war means and not tomorrow because it's cons of a heritage and culture and it remains an active part of our lives to this day. i learned to whistle when i was 6 years old and i grew up whistling wherever i go whistling is a part of me you could say it flows in my veins it's very important to me. it's my turn to try. sadly i failed utterly. so i set off in search of
6:45 pm
a teacher in sons of us john de la camaro the capital of the island with a population of just over 9000. but i don't have much time to take in the sights i have to get to school. the special thing about the metal is that is even taught as a compulsory subject in schools here that's unique in europe and my chance. so i'm back in the classroom my one on one lessons begin with a greeting. good day i'm kiko carre and we're on. the mall indeed the union. was here. we said mero in its present form is based on the spanish language the sounds of
6:46 pm
which are condensed into a few was looking notes to 4 vols and 4 notes for a consonant context helps clear up any misunderstandings everything you'd like to say with speech you can also say by whistling for example my name but on cisco i can either say francisco or whistle and. in 2009 unesco declared civil go marrow and tangible world heritage a sculpture commemorates this centuries old tradition and inspires me to give it one more try. ok it's much more difficult than i expected to communicate only by whistling but it's very 1st amazing to listen to this old tradition at least as fascinating as the landscape in which serve america was born.
6:47 pm
and you can see more of hendrix whistle ing adventures on our you tube channel. next up we are going to get a new perspective on art with a british painter patrick hughes now he is known for his unique 3 the optical illusions and not only did he invent the technique he also invented the terminology we met up with the artist in his studio to learn more about his view on a reverse specter of. seclusion is on 3 dimensional surfaces. they play with trap a zoid and perspectives to trick the viewer in seeing what's not really there. british artist patrick hughes calls this reverse specter for reverse perspective the painter developed the technique itself. it's extraordinary because it uses
6:48 pm
you to create the movement. to make. moves who's machines inside but my makes it work by having you move the painting seemed to me. he's got a team of 6 to support him in his london studio the actual creation is a very simple process. it can take up to 3 months to complete one image. the 1st step is to build a 3 dimensional base out of wood. then patrick you sketches out his ideas. he uses a computer to project his designs onto the canvas then he and his team paint the pictures an oil touch excuse likes to reference the work of other artists choose by city hall because people like him and i quite like i'm not mad about it i quite like. their walls though any graffiti house would prefer
6:49 pm
to work on a concrete wall but we like to make brick walls. here patrick use details his vision of venice. he feels quite inspired by it he's queen of the adriatic. in appreciate this it's made already in perspective this small of this is very difficult to my eye and the. pullouts i hear 1234 will move against the sky and the end of the judaica across the lagoon and on the water here so you see it in a stage now where we've painted the top side and they will appear to turn against the background they'll move as you move and who move in synchronicity with
6:50 pm
yourself like the perfect spot. patrick hughes created his 1st reverse effective picture in 1964 and called it sticking out room. but not until the 1990 s. did he set himself to perfect this painting technique. the work titled jazz from 26 teams made him world famous. he mostly draws inspiration for his projects and the architecture he sees all around. when i was a kid i used to think why aren't buildings like apples all pez all whole more imaginative but i don't i don't think. in the end buildings are boring you've got to make them alive you make them interesting. the sizes of the reverse effect of works very greatly. as to their prices. some of his pictures have gone for as much as 160000 euros. my work is
6:51 pm
not just visual he's physical it's a combination of the whole person is for 2 feet and you knees and your legs your body your stomach as well as your eyes so although i have been an intellectual insult is all in the mind is actually all in the mind and the ball the more perfect feel lucian the more complete the experience patrick hughes creates fascinating perspectives. in our world i'm. moving on now to something sweet and as you can see i am standing on the skyline of copenhagen well this one among other famous skyline serves as an inspiration for baker mario trout sky she loves architecture and baking so she figured out a way to combine the 2 into tasty desserts well the results are quite mouthwatering
6:52 pm
. the skyline of copenhagen the eiffel tower in paris the sydney opera house and park well in barcelona these edible works of art are the creations of maria trucks going. yeah i'm primarily interested in the artistic ass backwards it's a kind of performance before originally the 25 year old studied architecture in moscow and paris but in 2012 she discovered baking and it became a passion now she mixes her 2 fields of interest and she's found definite parallels in the process. just the ideal little crowd there often i shape the casing by hand but i use the mousse like concrete wasn't there so i can pour it into the form just like concrete. or i use the 3 d. models and fill them with ag are ag are edge apneas jelly where form is
6:53 pm
a device so i've got i've got a. copenhagen berlin cake is especially elaborate and took 3 days to complete it's made of short crust pastry with nuts chocolate sponge without flour coffee moose and a glossy glaze made from salted caramel the optical highlight is the chocolate skyline. what's important is that the landmarks of both cities are recognized. this danish german cake is the pastry chef best known dessert to date it was a special request from a customer who loved both european capitals. of the copenhagen berlin cake has many textures one such as chocolate coffee and like your so it's something for real men were. baked version of st basil's cathedral of her hometown moscow was of course a must the shape of a cake is just essential to her as its taste each recalls the flavors of the
6:54 pm
respective country was a was moscow tastes like the typically eastern european blend of spices but combined with something light and fluffy like the butter cream. it may consist of very simple ingredients but still tastes soft and silky. also interprets the taste of famous architects like this cultural center by renzo piano as a special flavor pre lanes this hotel in spain is a design by american architect frank geary it served as a model for this apple cake with the song to promptly do in paris hazelnuts and caramel dominate the complex of flavors absolutely french according to maria. and the famous surveys by finnish designer all over also has a taste quite reminiscent of nordic countries blueberries no matter how simple or complex your creations work on every new cake begins with
6:55 pm
a sketch much like the design for a new building would. i think i've invented a new profession pastry architect that betwixt and between i'm not really one of the other well i haven't designed any buildings for some time and i'm not a proper pastry chef either. you know and i'm not going to get interested in thinking only about recipes and a gradient scale goals even so early against the ingredients high priorities and uses only top quality products she brings some of them back from her travels to france for the united states it doesn't seem to bother her that her tested creations end up being devoured. in america that's the most important part of it the taste is everything. and with that we're out of another show now don't forget to check out our website for this week's draw and a chance at receiving a d w backpack with

sunday's protests surged on social media despite the country battling internet blackouts the images show demonstrators out in large numbers some even facing off against secret police and military there to observe them many protesters say they are determined to show they will not be intimidated. citizens have already made their demands by voting we are on the streets now to show that we are against a military dictatorship without fear. so far protests across the country have been largely peaceful however gunshots were heard in the southeastern town looking out what any where uniformed police with guns charged a group of protesters there were no immediate reports of casualties. confounds the high that the unprecedented level of civil disobedience. could cause a stronger military response. earlier we talked to lone
7:09 pm
a filmmaker in the economic capital gang gone is protecting his identity because the situation there we asked him to tell us about the situation in young gone 1st of all put an option thank you very much for help having me and yeah what you're seeing is true. someone talked about learning from the past and we know that. we cannot do anything with a lie legal framework and we cannot be violent we have to learn from the past so we're doing the civil disobedience movement and the people are only the streets to . to show their opposition against dictatorship and so what we're doing currently is for example. to get our spirits by. night at 8 pm we're banking coffee and this too. and then we can hear the sounds of banging waves throughout the whole city every night. and what do the people that
7:10 pm
you're with tell you about how they're feeling about their chances of bringing about change i mean is that hope or fear are mixed perhaps. read yeah i mean you can definitely say of course it's a mixture of reasons and syncs right now but one thing for sure is that it's not about one person right now this is about the whole population and you know. this is like this is not a ball on an o.b. against military not about supporting military or know about. our generation identity papers and we cannot just let it happen anymore because we have had this for you know 60 to 70 years and then we've had a taste of freedom for about. a few years and now it is taken away from us again we can well just let it happen so. so yeah so right now that this is what is going on
7:11 pm
so the protesters feel they you know clearly represent a majority of the country and i guess based on the election results that were there were contested is that part of the argument yes that is definitely part of the 'd argument. but again to the reds you know who are constantly power we cannot let any people of the rich or government to take control because just simply we have had enough of the novel is ready now you know you need a lot of international support because really you know during the news we really news like you know some want to sanction you more and so on be the delhi government you know doesn't care about sanctions because it doesn't really help them but in the end we are the one that we have to suffer from those so also we would like to encourage international community to alternatives. and from this situation
