i would run base just takes the hydrogen sit down koran to read. the 60 minutes on t.w. . what secrets lie behind things was. to discover new adventures in 360 degree. and explore fascinating world heritage sites. p.w. world heritage 316 get kidnapped now. when you see pictures of the beautiful swiss alps you probably would not associate them with whiskey but in fact they are home to the world's highest whiskey

distillery more on that later on in the show. 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 treaty motifs jump off the pay for. but we started 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 a warm babs but the benefits of a cold plunge are said to include a better immune system increase or kill 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 with. this dutchman is said to have supernatural powers thanks to the many world records he says he's 66 meters below the arctic ice skating track he's climbed mount kilimanjaro 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 contained. in a human body is so much more capable than what we see in the cold is the great teacher. when runs

a seminar center in the dutch villages. where the 61 year old normally teaches others how to master their bodies. here's one of those seminars but cove it has changed everything. the wimp comprises a cold bath meditation and a special breathing technique involving controlled inhaling and exhaling 30 times and then holding your breath. the at drill and begins to work the body from the inside and then becomes true to deep breathing strong and then use c.d.f. back directly because you feel it when you are in the cold water that you are able to stay there just because of breathing the cold is 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 it was in checked it with bacteria and spun. the university study develops hardly any flu like symptoms unlike other test subjects. but even if there are strong indications it's yet to be proven that cold strengthens the immune system. more study needs to be done but i tell you the benefits are huge and the investment is very low to just go into a cold shower i swimming is something fred it boasts a long history in europe whether it's championship in finland a game of chess in russia. or i think you're swimming in came to me again in the netherlands in germany this is the 3rd winter that graphic designer carolina scola is indulging in this icy hopping air temperature at lake blitz in st bernard in his

2 degree celsius she prepares using vim hoff's and breathing technique. it still takes some real motivation and come on you can practice transcending your rational understanding but the 1st time he knows and it gives you more self-confidence this saves that's given if i can handle this if i'm up to the challenge i can do it. the 27 year old stays in the icy lake for about 10 minutes and how does she feel afterwards. i'm really happy you can maybe see it so i'm totally awake and just euphoric if. i can't describe it really alive. and my mind is blank i'm just in the here and now. this is them hoff

with his son the youngest of 6 children. and hear of them hoffa's jumping off his back yard ledge with his knees. the water is of course i see. the reason for sought out the healing power of the cold was a stroke of fate his 1st wife was schizo phrenic choked her own life in 1905 being in agony myself my own exile u.-t. my heart broke my mood which completely shut out but i had to be there for my children so i got a man up this one i went into the ice and i did my breathing exercises it deeply on until i felt. myself. that what else can do the same for others and he now as merely one of the half 1000000 followers on you tube pianist children teach his methods all over the world thousands of

people visit this online and classroom courses or learn to become qualified trainers themselves. to many people. is a sort of. put some criticize his personality cult let them call me iceman guru i suppose or whatever it's all ok and so on to me they don't call me no longer crazy. or an idiot or. whatever. they it's all positive i love it i love it. and i still have you here embrace the cold makes you really strong. now thank you. that's definitely not for me and i can be sure that the model that you see here has also she's never taken

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.

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 so lots of people shot it. alicia keys lots of famous famous accounts was sharing this image. may not have a fictional biography but she enjoys enormous success online. she appears together with other digital models in

a social media campaign for the french luxury label. one of the great benefits of working with digital models is 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 the shoot the tremendous amount of real models stand in front of the camera and simulate. a human models are digitally replaced by shooting. to take a virtual. piece incredibly difficult to animate shooting on because she's so realistic we did do a show we did our own show for miami 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. for the pandemic has increased the demand for alternatives in

the fashion world. for the 2020 helsinki fashion week. presenting their works using animated models. even though they may not appear quite as perfect and hyper realistic. but will digital out. but it has become serious competition for real models and influencers. fashion editor maria homestake doesn't think so. 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 and mentions will be 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. together. and. when it comes to whisky 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 this 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 go to botch in southeastern switzerland it's mountain station attracts winter sports enthusiasts. and now. whiskey lovers here at an altitude of over 3000 meters swiss

entrepreneurs going i'll go feeling and pass comment now open to the world's highest distillery. the idea of opening up at this elevation a 3300 meters came about because we have a storage center for our barrels from the store and it's a privilege to be able to operate at the still resists high up these of these surrounding with. these millions of truck with that i've been so there. 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 pizza cottage at an elevation of 3303 meters higher than any other whiskey makers and advantages that the boiling point lies at about 10 degrees lower than a sea level. and so forth i live east us would be one of the advantages is that we

have a slower distillation to a lower temperatures. and this gives the whiskey 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 the 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 sam moore 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 kinds of whiskey with so many world records switzerland a whiskey nation after all. i don't think switzerland has a whisky nation like all the other countries aren't either the ones who come closest and our laws which are changing thoughts

a little encroaching on. more and more better distilleries so we think of 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 so as omar is skeptical whether distilling whiskey high up on a mountain will really influence its taste. for longer and alcohol's the stilt the better it is. doesn't matter if you have another or lower distillation point the only. the difference lies in the fact that you're just over the vaporization point when the still and the little cuts to the. back to the world's highest distillery here in the spirit made from malta darley has to wait in barrels for at

least 3 years to rightly be called whisky. open view and i think the influence of this innovation will be occurrence in 510 or 20 years is a long. time vision as though to create a whisky that's as close as possible to a scottish one something should come to tastes like a swiss made product which make bodies no matter what the whisky ends up tasting like another valley and passed on that now 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 well have you squirming in your seat . 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 eerily realistic looking scorpion took 4 hours to create he chose the motif because most people keep well away from such creatures.

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 aren't pets and he regularly publishes them on you tube this video of stefan creating a 3 d. tarantula garnered over 12000000 views and. his daughter's reaction might also explain some of the success. of. stefan's main job is painting commissions portraits based on photographs sometimes 2 dimensional but also in 3 d. . this major portrait was bought by an american star wars fan. this scary looking snake really looks as if it could crawl through the room.

and this glass of water is also a you tube sensation. creating these amazing artworks requires a good eye and special techniques. after all optical illusions only work when you look at them from a certain angle. the main effect with these lego bricks is that i stretched them. both 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 stefan cuts off a bit of paper perfecting the optical illusion. that's really

important for the 3 d. a factor it must look as if the object extends over the edge of the sheet of paper one it will force us into thinking the object isn't actually painted on the paper. and here's a 3 dimensional scorpion from one side at a 45 degree angle change your perspective and the fact instantly vanish. stefan pops ambitious plans for creating vast outdoor 3 d. artworks. like creating a 3 d. pattern in a cornfield and then filming it from above with a drone to capture this effect. so. 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 eerie 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 a polish artist monika most of the sets them up for a photo shoot. you could almost expect them to come alive. imam beatty dollars collector photographer those photographs are. so be changing toes 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 so. she can look you know. in front so you can change the color of far east side so far instance on so again it will be and i could different a face and then different new and different character. the dolls are often dressed in tailor made clothes this dress for example was shown by an army. of different sizes of those so sometimes it's so you know hard to find the right trends because sometimes the dress cease to be too small the dolls leather boots

are color coordinated with the dress monaco wears gloves so as not to smudge its delicate makeup. she wants her photographs of the dolls to stay. emulate the viewers fantasy. stories you know are so inspiring for me because they are no smiling actually they are pretty serious or even sad over cry. possible to a more serious story snow of all toys but both are people here both humans emotions. she showcases her artworks on instagram at exhibitions like here in her hometown of krakow monica often stages her photo shoots at derelict or abandoned sites.

among the dolls of an uneasy feeling in me. up of an onion i wouldn't call it fear exactly otherwise i would not be here as of at the budget and i took up what i find most interesting is that they look like real human beings you can sense the artist wanted to create this optical illusion. many of the photographs feature groups of dolls resembling families or siblings. monica most of exposure to combine a fairy tale look with some dark horror and lots of atmosphere. and they certainly fascinate. ok and leds and the show on a lighter note don't forget to enter our latest draw for that just go to our website for all the details on how to receive this d w backpack and some other goodies as always for me the rest of the crew here thanks

the festival organizers hope that in june they'll be able to roll out the red carpet and welcome fans and stars once again just like last year and all the years before. i was bringing our expert for all things fairly mellow culture reporter scott roxboro has been covering the festival for w. for years hi scott early knowledge is about to kick off and you are at home i have to admit that's something i never thought i'd see but are you one of the lucky few who get to see the film. i am going to work if you are going to be able to see the films of course i'll be seeing them here from home on my couch and not in a cinema as was intended. because this week the bell and i will be doing really good just a very limited audience it will be for the jury or the film industry a world wide will be tuning in on our computers and only or film critics like myself will also be able to watch the movie still be shown this week and everybody

else we get is going to have to wait until the summer the kind of all that a nother bastable in june in berlin a proper one will believe with audiences with a cinemas because it is the world's largest public don't pass the ball and it really wouldn't be the same to show these movies without having the berlin audience there to celebrate them or to condemn. it's certainly difficult to predict what the world i'm going to look like in june but what is this summer special of the pearly nala supposed to look like. yeah i do you only they wanted to be basically the version. of the girl and thought that's all that we know so with real cinemas people being able to watch the films in large groups but i recently talked to the heads of the film festival and they admitted that they of course don't know they don't know what the virus is going to do the uncle conditions are going to be like in the summer they're very optimistic they'll be able to do something with the

public so maybe open air cinemas if nothing else but of course they really hope that they can have a proper bastable with proper red carpets and i i think that's going to be a big issue because i hope by the summer people actually able to travel because it would be a real shame to have a girl and all that still in the city and have great red carpets but no stars to walk what they're on right i'm ready to take notes here what films are you especially looking forward to. well i'm on the sort of political side and as the big star aside this mauritanian which is a job foster film where she plays a lawyer assigned to an accused terrorist in guantanamo bay one of the biggest film shot of the bell and. this york but for me i'm really interested in the german films of this year the foreign competition and one had really point you towards it's a science fiction romantic comedy by maria shriver and it stars the and stevenson you might know from downton abbey british actor but here in place i german speaking

android a robot programmed as a love robot to satisfy the needs of our intelligence cynical they're actually quite romantic german scientists and so this is sort of like a pygmalion story but it's full of female perspective i'm really interested see especially because there is a phenomenal director she just won an emmy for directing the netflix series on orthodox and so i'm really interested see what she does with the stuart wright and i'm looking forward to here really is thank you very much scott ross for the daily encounter. i'm going is like a soccer now and line segment history and a thrilling match against the law not only did they keep their title hopes alive with a last minute winner it was also their 1st ever been is like a victory after being 2 goals down. 2 of the best coaches in the business came to grips in logic yulian knuckles man's home saddam a 4 game winning streak founded on the physical defense but a little too much muscle from daioh up an account on meant that marco rose's men

had experienced sexual harassment online before compared to just 11 percent of men in the same age group female politicians and journalists who often publicly voice their opinion are especially at risk one 3rd of all women journalists who have been targeted by hateful online campaign have thought about switching professions what is that like to experience online hate speech and what are the impacts we ask women who speak their mind online i was the target many were being and. complaints online i have often been at the receiving end of incessant online trolling from people who disagreed with me on my reports so you know it kind of started with the facebook death threats and then it kind of became this massive harassment case where i would get a lot of comments under my article and people would just disgusts me on the fly as if you know i didn't exist and discuss the many ways of you know how they would

like to rape me or i have make you know or you know the things that they would do to me 3 women who have encountered abuse harassment and threats online these experiences have real consequences for the women who are targeted it must be very hard to be resilient and continue to speak up my colleague charger e has been working as a journalist for 6 years currently for w. stanley office she's active on twitter and her parts can easily be found online the more she reports on political issues the more she is targeted by online hate speech for fear of being told online there have been times when i have censored my parson to be many other women journalists do the same in my opinion the online abuse of women john the speed should be recognized as an attack on the freedom of speech and expression law enforcement agencies to be sensitized and strengthened enough to identify these threats and take action also newsrooms across the country should begin to want to do to make women journalists safe and secure wherever they go

under foot in the country as a t.v. reporter many of our children who travels around delhi and the surrounding area recently she's been mostly reporting on the coronavirus pandemic but many it also covers controversial issues her gender still plays a role in how people react. as a woman's and it's often believed to be quite conscious of my gender but never i've been out in the beautiful while traveling to remote areas and reporting assignments i have to ensure that the people i would be had with speed. with access to be sometimes with patients so this is. i often carry the can affect a play with myself as well and why sablon within these remote areas i thought that he said my live location with a group of friends to my phone so people would know off my bed about. it. and i have to hide it easier than many other women who plays a barrage of online abuse on a daily basis many of them face death they make this a great present so soon we'd be out for just setting that up and the attacks on not

just confined to the on line would have been to both of them and done with getting physically i fat and sexually harassed while out and reporting occur and example are the firmest protests in india ongoing since 2020 which have also led to violence both online and offline here too women who engage with the issue and voice their opinion are specifically attacked online journalist ronna reported internationally about the demands of the striking farmers and ended up being targeted herself. raju busy renowned general asked how well computes rising on issues surrounding tarion violence and political uprisings in india for the washington post and she does not shy away from criticizing indian prime minister narendra modi's. book criticism of mana has been targets used by nationalist hindus at the beginning of february she posted this on twitter the kind of hate massaging me threats abuse i have seen on my timeline in the last 2 days is

something i have never witnessed before if this is not intimidation i don't know what it is this tweet to unleash another round of online harassment reactions ranged from constant death threats to calls for her to leave the country. one week later i run a huge spoke up about the hate speech being directed at her. some days about others unbearable the last few days the death rate threats the abuse extended towards my family has been tiring and traumatizing. tonight hate speech has very real impacts on consequences on people's lives that extend far beyond the internet near up doll our works for goodness asians like women and news and the arab foundation for freedom and equality in lebanon as a journalist she's been targeted by aggressive online complaints before she says online hate speech is being used to teach ecclesia as a way to silence women so one way that is common also with other countries of the

word to intimidate werman journalist to stop them from whatever they are doing or from stating an opinion is online harassment and unfortunately it's working for a lot of the time because we do not have policies and we do not have a system that protects women so since we do not have a system their online harassment is usually succeeding in silencing or intimidate equipment. the global me to move to encourage women around the world to speak out about online harassment many women realized that the online abuse they faced was not an isolated incident now they're supporting each other in taking on on line drugs. women are supporting women they've supported each other long before but now it's it's out there it's open from what i see on social media from what i see even on the streets during revolutions the support

between women women is getting much bigger and for one reason the awareness i don't get asked men is becoming bigger in society and that more women are encouraged to speak and these women will start to be the solicitor to speak will encourage other women to speak so the main the main support comes from women themselves this is also the case with indian journalist. she receives support primarily from other women journalists around the globe. one of supporters on twitter is. who told us about receiving death threats on facebook the azerbaijani journalist has been reporting on conflicts between azerbaijan and armenia and turkey she's been attacked online multiple times at one point the constant online abuse forced her to take a break i had to decorate my instagram account after the accident my facebook account i had to walk my twitter account at the high notes of my twitter because i

was there still my friend coming from everywhere taking a break from the internet can be a good way to gain some distance from the abuse because hate speech can make you ill psychologically and physically but it's not always possible for women to just ignore the online world this is especially true for female politicians a study by amnesty international india states that the more visible a politician is the more abuse she receives the human rights organization had analyzed tweets directed at $95.00 indian female politicians and found that every 7th message was offensive or abusive a german news magazine recently found that 64 percent of women in the german parliament have been targeted by hate speech most of it online and in europe 58 percent of all women who participated in the survey had encountered threats and abuse on social media on the whole women across the globe face much heavier attacks

than men when you talk about us or against women we talk about blackmailing we talk about invading privacy you would talk about sexual harassment this type of harassment or not it is. clearly there are huge differences in how women are targeted as opposed to men what can women do as well given i had to learn how to cope with the hateful messages now she gives advice to other women in online courses. first of all. try not to drown and hate because once you start reading you want to read more and then friends that sending you things and you just 3 need more and it really impacts your health your mental health your physical health. another thing i recommend is have a you know be open about this 1st of all you're not the only one of his face and a separate pressman there are so many other woman and there are other organizations that help woman. to process this to address it

and also how to do something about it. make sure that there is a support mechanism that you can go to or you can even ask your friends to take over your social media account because. you really need to know that you have a support mechanism you cannot handle this on your own. even if it's a minor consequence you can still for instance get that council spend good or you know find the person and reach out to someone at a company of social media platform company so what about the companies behind social media platforms why don't facebook and co adequately protect women from online hate speech the big social media firms like to point to freedom of expression when confronted with these questions but ever since former us president donald trump's online accounts were suspended the guidelines on deleting online

hate speech seem to be changing well it's definitely a fine line between censorship and removing. hate speech content i think sometimes it is obvious what might think if electress and still social media platforms are not doing anything about it. this is why i mean you have to learn to monza multinational online platforms like twitter facebook instagram invest in more stuff to monitor online content and to employ people who can understand the cultural and societal specifics of different regions of the wild in order to adequately assess on one continent social media platform should invest in more people from within countries to give you the content so inevitably to portland some think it will 1st of all it will take 48 hours or 3 days or a week to be removed and the 2nd thing to have more people from the region from lebanon or from jordan or from egypt because they really know the context of these

so whatever looks like something that does not violate the community standards of this platforms it's might actually put people at risk in our countries what other rules that determine how we communicate with one another shouldn't the same rules apply online as well as. offline this would also mean prohibiting users from remaining anonymous if they abuse others online that's the only way to work towards tackling online hate speech against women what have your experiences been let us know on you tube facebook already w dot com that's all for made today by and see you next time.
