the civilian government. and i'm joined now by an activist in mandalay we were referring to him as sam to respect his wish to remain anonymous of for security reasons so sam thank you for joining us you are in one of the biggest cities mandalay and that's been the scene of some violence police crackdowns on protesters what have you seen taking place. to go if you're mentally. do you know the general strike. around the country so a lot of people came out and. saw the trip to churchill has. the dissidents civil servants seem concerned as of now many of those were injured and police is not using any restraint against. the truth just are and will and they are grown stuff the killing seems. to gestures. they say the grounds are becoming

a killing fields as the police are apparently getting increasingly aggressive in their response to the protests what effect do you think that is having on the people who are demonstrating against the military junta. yes this just puts so much. stress on our own house because we are fighting for democracy and now we are making all sizes sure that it is turned off you know. so we are true course our police are using extreme violence. i fear that. the people of hugo people will not be church or more and this is. you know. i can see that we're not going to do it you know it's all the action we we're going to keep marching every day to make our sizes heard. now the elected

a government leader aung san suu kyi is due to face a court hearing on monday on charges brought against her by the military junta do you think her case is what has been motivating the pro-democracy movement and activists like yourself who are taking to the streets yes we should all or shake. her. the elected government. and we we all want. you know strong help from their story our international communities so. it could be days if something really bad happens in your. are sure that. the international community must come to our aid. he must act. weak. and strong call there from a pro-democracy activist in mandalay thank you very much for your time. thank you.

meanwhile in hong kong police have charged dozens of pro-democracy activists with some version and this is the single largest enforcement of beijing's a sweeping new national security law the activists were arrested after being ordered to report to local police stations and that is the latest crackdown on the democratic opposition in the territory a group of more than 50 activists was initially arrested earlier this year that's after they helped organize an unofficial primary vote last july to nominate opposition candidates the mark boat came just weeks after china drafted its new security law. let's go straight to hong kong then and correspondent phoebe kong and joins us now what can we expect to happen to the pro-democracy activists who have been charged today. the $47.00 opposition figures were prosecuted for conspiracy to commit the 1st under the

newspaper national security law in hong kong today so they're all detained in loco police stations like the one behind me will be brought to court tomorrow morning that the trust will decide whether they will have to be with amanda in custody in the near future before the hearing but according to recent verdicts all seem like national security case that unlikely that they will be around to nevertheless we have spoken to some of the defendants before to enter the police station and they set out to help hopefully this will carry on the tank in this fight with russia. now let's talk a little bit about the timing because some of these activists already were arrested back in january so why is it that they are being detained now of all times. yeah you are right the timing is particularly concerning because this prosecute this last prosecution came amid spacings plan to reform hong kong so that the

system fundamentally. different proposals are expected very soon the set of a new macand the some in hong kong screening can do this for phone calls local elections and 2 of possibly for this qualify local councillors who are perceived as not loyal to patients leadership so a critic sees today prosecution and other means to exclude the election hopefuls from the politico is to choose since we have to bear in mind that today's defendants are election hopefuls who've won the election the opposition primary last year and all the leading activists imposed tish's off the opposition came so patients want to block them from the political institution any kind of feel action and also 2 the e.u. european office in hong kong has issued a statement calling for immediate release of those arrested and also. the nature of these charges makes clear that the letters to both politico prove that some will no

longer be tolerated in hong kong if you be on the whole how do you think the protest movement in hong kong has been affected by the pandemic that we've been experiencing for the last year. we know the. last church says the imposition off the national security law and people are finding more alike. ways to continue the activism including its actions but now the prosecution that gangs the election candidates and also the changing of the whole actual systems could spell the end of any kind of activism within the institution and that people can hardly find any kind of way to continue the activism in the future. thank you very much. let's take a look now at some other stories making headlines at this hour. u.s.

our last journey takes us to berlin jewish history in germany stretches back 1700 years but how does jewish my book in today's germany we meet 2 women a rabbi and a rabbinical student live out their religion in their own ways. today isn't has many faces in germany today we live in a shiny powered identifies it's clear she soon to become a rabbi and she's an avid instagram user she posts about religion sexuality and life in berlin and it's refreezing to just off a generation connected by all of these aspects of what many people learn about judaism at school it's really terrible so they're not really learning anything all that talk about national socialism about nothing about judaism as it is lived today that's why it kind of became my goal to show jewish life just how it is. in. they grew up in a religious household she believes there are too few women in high positions and

she wants to change that after completing her studies the 23 year old will likely be germany's youngest female rabbi she also wants to be the contact person she herself on their behalf i mean i'm very clear about the idea that nobody should have to choose between the jewish and queer identities you can't just choose what sexuality you're born with you develop with your sexuality and if you are jewish then you should be able to live both lives. then the jewish community has come so far it's also thanks to women like bam she had to fight hard to be recognised as a rabbi at all its job and there were people who left the room when i entered so i made sure that i was always there early because then i was already seated and the others had to think about whether to sit down and join in or not. that you'd have back converted to judaism now she is the rabbi of poland's new synagogue berlin is

also where the very 1st female rabbi was ordained in 135 begin i do want us you want us however was limited to teaching religion and rabbinic opus torah care. the holocaust is for ever present for juice in germany you know you want to us was also murdered by the nazis and what is it like today that is entitled semitism has gotten louder and above all it's become more outrageous it's often. judaism in germany today it's more diverse than it has been in decades people like alien or will never let that be taken from them again.

distillery more on that later on in the show. hi and welcome to another edition of euro max with me your host meghan lee here's a look at what else we've got coming up on the program. see how digital models are revolutionizing the world of fashion. and find out how a german artist makes 3 d. motifs jump off the paper. but we start off the show with a splash an icy cold water now it's no secret that cold water gives the body a boost but what about going for a cold swim in winter now i must admit i have never done this and i myself prefer warm babs but the benefits of a cold plunge are said to include a better immune system increase or chill ation and reduced stress well that all sounds great but it does take a great deal of motivation to actually do it so we met up with one man from the

netherlands who is a record breaker when it comes to polar bear dips. i'm women they call me do you. think. this dutchman is said to have supernatural powers thanks to the many world records he says he's dived 66 meters below the arctic ice skating troughs he's climbed mount kilimanjaro in less than 2 days wearing shorts and run a marathon through the libyan desert without a sip of water. and he can endure 2 hours in a container of ice. and a human body is so much more capable than what we see in the cold is the great teacher. the seminar center in the dutch villages.

where the 61 year old normally teaches authors how to master their bodies. here's one of those seminars but kovac has changed everything down. the wind hoffman it comprises of cold baths meditation and a special breathing technique involving controlled inhaling and exhaling 30 times and then holding your breath. the ag drill and begins to work the body from the inside and then becomes included the breathing stronger and then use see the fact directly because you feel it when you are in the cold water that you are able to stay there just because of breathing the coldness said to strengthen the immune system however taking a dip in an icelandic glacier would make most people's body temperature sink so low it could kill them but not jim hoffa and he wants to scientifically prove his

method works in 2011 he was injected with bacteria as part of a university study developed hardly any flu like symptoms unlike other test subjects. but even if there are strong indications it's yet to be proven that the whole strength of the immune system. more study needs to be done but i tell you the benefits huge. and the investment is very little just go into a cold shower i swimming isn't something fresh it boasts a long history in europe whether this championship in finland a game of chess in russia. or near swimming in a venue in the netherlands in germany this is the 3rd winter that graphic designer carolina school is indulging in this icy hopping air temperature at lake blitzen

a bath in her life well that's because she is a computer generated avatar who is breaking into the fashion world now you can put these models in just about any situation and unlike real people these avatars will never complain well digital models have been gaining in popularity in recent years and now because of the coronavirus pandemic there are even more in demand. underwater.

1017 when i 1st posted to you online i posted it to facebook and i had no idea what was going to happen and everyone was asking me like who is shooting who was shooting. and it just it just grew and grew from there you know a lot about some people. alicia keys lots of famous famous accounts for sharing this image. may not have a fictional biography but she enjoys enormous success. she appears together with other digital models in

a social media campaign for the french luxury label. the great benefits of working with digital models as you can send them anywhere in the wallet and i think that is probably one of the best advantages right now although 3 d. is still quite expensive because doing a photo shoot for a fashion spread with shooting. real models stand in front of the camera and simulate. human models are digitally replaced by shooting. credibly difficult to animate shooting because she saw realistic we did do a show we did our show for my own use when we. produced a minute long presentation in collaboration with. the case where a lot of the fashion brands i think that they're not really ready for the kind of level of 3 d.

that you know i want to use that pandemic has increased the demand for alternatives in the fashion world and for the 2020 helsinki fashion week. presenting their work using animated models. even though they may not appear quite as perfect and hyper realistic as shooting. but will digital out. but has become serious competition for real models and influencers of. fashion editor maria one state doesn't think so. far this is definitely an artform in its own right and that's how i see it i do think this is a lasting development but if they're good at it i think that once this year is over people will look forward to going places talking to others and seeing clothes on real people mentioned to me and. whether as an art form an alternative to real

models or a clever influencer strategy digital models are here to stay they seem increasingly perfect and even talk to their fans. to get. stacey and. when it comes to whiskey you could arguably say that the best brands come from scotland ireland or even the united states well you wouldn't necessarily associate switzerland with the spirit but the distillery located high up in the swiss alps has put itself on the map with the world record we went there for a closer look. this is the pits got approached in southeastern switzerland its mountain station attracts winter sports enthusiasts. and now. whiskey lovers here at an altitude of over 3000 meters swiss

entrepreneurs. and pascal mcnair have opened the world's highest distillery. needed. the idea of opening up at this elevation a 3300 meters came about because we had a storage center for our barrels from the start it's a privilege to be able to operate the distilleries this high up in the surroundings with these mounds of this as a backdrop but that i'd like to do for. for a decade the 2 friends have been distilling whisky they call their single malt the rate a romantic word for sold in october 2020 they opened their distillery on the pits cottage at an elevation of 3303 meters higher than any other whisky makers and advantages that the boiling point lies at about 10 degrees lower than if the levels. are. east of the one of the advantages is that we have

a slower distillation over temperatures. and this gives the whisky many more floral notes. even if people don't automatically associate switzerland with whiskey the country holds a surprising number of whisky related records down in the valley resort town of some more it's home to the world's largest whiskey bar it already has 2 entries in the guinness book of world records here gas can choose from over 2500 different varieties of whisky. the mountain village of santa maria around 50 kilometers east of san lloyd's is home to another guinness record holder the smallest whiskey bar on earth on just $8.00 square metres of space serves up some 300 high. the whiskey with so many world records is switzerland a whiskey nation after all. i don't think switzerland there's a whisky nation like all the other countries aren't either the ones who come

closest or scotland and ireland which are well on the way to changing facts a little encroaching on. more and more and better distilleries so i think in the next decade things will change a lot. isn't just the barkeeper he also manages the whisky museum and makes the spirit professionally in the cellar located at an elevation of 1400 meters the boiling point of alcohol is also lower here than at sea level maher is skeptical whether distilling whiskey high up on a mountain will really influence its taste in the lead on one destiny for longer and alcohol's the stilt the better it is. doesn't matter if you have another or lower distillation point their own definitely the difference lies in the fact that you're just over the vaporize ation point when the still of the little cut to the. back to the world's highest distillery here the spirit made from malta darling has

to age and barrels for at least 3 years to rightly be called whiskey. hope done via cliff that either the influence of this and the vision of the occurrence in 510 or 20 years is unknown most are i'm vision as though to create a whiskey that's as close as possible to a scottish one so on the should clearly tastes like a swiss made product which make bodies no matter what the whisky ends up tasting like another valley and pastel mcnair couldn't have found a more stunning location to make or drink it. well if you're interested to find out more about food and drink around europe then you can visit our you tube channel d.w. food. in our next report we are about to meet a master of deception german artist stuff on pops has perfected the technique of 3 d. in his art work this portrait artist found 3 d. as a way to steer away from conventional drawing and painting he let us look over his

shoulder as he worked and some of his subjects will have you squirming in your seat . watch out for a dangerous scorpion. but look closer and you'll see it's only an art work created by. the artists from northwestern germany is a master of illusions. here singer seems to be climbing from. this looks like an actual miniature version of the eiffel tower. i was bored with painting the same things over and over that good artists had done thousands of times already i wanted to do something new something nobody had seen with. stefan's realistic looking scorpion took 4 hours to create he chose the motif because most people keep well away from such creatures.

and you my most successful paintings on this are those with a spider sitting on a sheet of paper for example people are scared of them. stefan pap's artworks are a hit and he regularly publishes them on you tube this video of stefan creating a 3 d. . over 12000000 views. his daughter's reaction might also explain some of the success. stefan's main job is painting commissioned portraits based on photographs sometimes 2 dimensional but also in 3 d. . this start made her portrait was bought by an american star wars fan. you know this scary looking snake really looks as if it could crawl through the room. this glass of water

is also a you tube sensation. creating these amazing artworks requires a good eye and special. after all optical illusions only work when you look at them from a certain angle. but you see. the main effect with these lego bricks is that i stretched. so that when you put the painting down it looks as if the proportions are correct. getting the details exactly right is important that means adding the scorpion's shadow and tiny hairs on its sting. finally cuts off a bit of paper perfecting the optical illusion. that's really important

for the 3 d. a factual it must look as if the object extends over the edge of the sheet of paper once it falls us into thinking the object isn't actually painted on the paper. and here's a 3 dimensional scorpion viewed from one side at a 45 degree angle change your perspective and the 3 d. effect instantly vanish. stefan pops has ambitious plans for creating vast outdoor 3 d. art works. like creating a 3 d. pattern in a cornfield and then filming it from above with a drone to capture this effect. so. reveals his motif just yet but whatever it is it will probably look amazingly realistic. another artist who likes to flirt with deception is polish a photographer monica must of it she use this lifelike dolls as her subject and

puts them in situations to evoke a range of emotions now her photos have been yury and sad quality about them we visited her at home in cracow for a closer look. these dolls are not toit's they're so realistic it's almost. especially when the polish artist monika most of the sets them up 1st photo shoot. you could almost expect them to come alive. imam betake daughters collect or photograph or post photograph and. so be tainted those are my passion actually i spend already like more than 10 years of my life photographing. jointed dolls come from asia

they can be arranged in all kinds of poses thanks to their ball and socket joints monica owns over $25.00 of them she gets a russian artist to paint their faces and body parts courting to her exact requests a new character is created for each photo. so you can exchange her eyes so. she can look you know a side in front so you can change the color of forests size so far distance on so again need to appear like a different face and that different new and different character. the dolls are often dressed in tailor made clothes this dress for example was so near by and large it's very. different sizes of those so sometimes it's so you know hard to find the right trends because sometimes the dresses to be too small
