during the 1st weeks. and everything and i wondered what i could make out of it and thought why not pink pajamas things are different as a target and often but i think it's great you can go shopping in them too you can leave the shirt open or button it up so depending on who you run into at the supermarket cold. the comfortable oversized look is also one of his favorites fashion editors view this trend as a reaction to the long hours spent at home. being relaxed about things. but has to be done in a way. that should be made to recycle regenerate. but in the current season a bit of extra volume is trying to get the upper arms to puffy sleeves are really fashionable right now.

a sacred site one where soccer emotion and patrick has melted together. with my football skills i'm practically made from this stage. the largest stadium in europe poland would have seen barcelona the scene of countless triumphs. and 2nd home 2 superstars. come no or new fields opened in 1957 and has become a landmark barcelona. the mediterranean city is the capital of the autonomous community catalonia in northeastern spain. is famous for its culture and lifestyle and for its soccer club f.c. barcelona it was club members and fans who helped finance the construction of the stadium. its capacity of 100-9354

spectators makes it europe's biggest stadium it's an impressive space especially during a classical matches between f.c. barcelona and their arch rival they all know that. beneath the stadium i meet a man who rarely misses an f.c. barcelona home game. has been a fan for as long as he can remember. from the stadium it's like bring healing to be the form of. when you when you were really young you came here with your family. and it's a strange feeling for me come now is my 2nd home. the parson museum in the stadiums building chronicles the triumphs of the club's 120 year history. 5 champions league victories numerous titles and its record as spain's number one cup winner but f.c.

barcelona wants to be more than a clock meskin clock as museum director george of tennis put it to me. all those years i think that finally they understand that there's something else that receiving the salary at the end of the month. playing and living here having fun because finally you are playing for the war. unlike many other soccer clubs f.c. barcelona is not owned by the big investors but by its members many cattle and see it and indeed the stadium itself as an integral part of their identity it's due for innovation soon and she got an order without. saying war. when we decide we knew this they knew some people watching. outside but. no way. our stadium is our d.n.a.

you know it's part of our past. i get a chance to fulfill one of my biggest wishes to peek behind the scenes of a soccer stadium the biggest surprise for me is the catholic chapel right next to the player channel here pius chorus can pray for divine intervention. and this is the locker room for the visiting team. when i was a little boy i always ask myself what it must feel like to run into the pictures of players in such a shoot stadium and now i've got the chance to find out. let's go. this is what play is see just before they set foot on the pitch. and it's just what my own dream looked like when i was a little boy. unfortunately it will remain a dream for me. it was

awesome i was really impressed by the stadium and even when it was empty to be able to be there usually only the stars are allowed was a really great feeling and the magic this location creates was tangible and when it was empty. well the series of europe to the max isn't just on t.v. you can watch more of it on our youtube channel or enjoy it in a brand new book now if you enter our draw you will have a chance at becoming the proud owner of 111 extreme places in europe that you shouldn't miss just go to our website for all the details on how to take part. well

is social media expands so do the number of so-called influencers and tick tock as who are out to create more content and gain more viewers so one influencer came up with the idea of putting these creative minds together under one roof up to 8 successful social media stars are living in an apartment in italy aimed at honing their skills when it comes to content and sharing now it's an experiment that started in the u.s. and has now caught on in europe. welcome to the 1st tick-tock shared apartment in italy please take soccer's have lived together since october 2020 this stylish milan apartment is their stage and their mission is to produce content for social media 21 year old simona bellini is the oldest resident. says more than just a home for

a tick tock it's a place that helps us develop personal. we all want to do something with our lives and make our dreams come true mine is to become an actor. but i mean everyone here has different dreams and ideas we all want to achieve something. most of them are already tick-tock stars with over a 1000000 followers every day they polish their on camera performance. martial arts or acting classes are on the program together they produce short video clips benefiting from each other's popularity to reach a wider audience. the $500.00 square metre apartment boasts a trendy colors and modern design every element is a real eye catcher put in just the right place. because being successful on social media means making an impression death is the brainchild of artists john.

fall in creating death house it was important to me that the target audience would be able to identify with the design concept. talkers influencers and artists and other shared houses live in luxury. but that creates a kind of aloofness or distance and that's something we wanted to avoid here. created in 2019 the hype house in los angeles was the 1st tick-tock shared home and its recipe for. success was then recreated in 2020 in europe in france the u.k. . now as of october 2020 in italy once a successful influencer himself. decides who gets to move into death house. i got to see it. but i mean that's. who we're prepared to work on themselves and we

offer them classes to help them develop personal values. and then pass on those values to their audiences. not as teachers but as here today what they've learned to other young people. who perhaps don't have these opportunities. today is the founder of the web star's channel an italian digital company specialized in strategic marketing for influencers. after all companies are increasingly targeting generation c. and its growing influence and purchasing power. this house represents a new form of media or young. journalists employing the language codes and grammar needed to appeal to their generation of. shared homes or the new publishing houses and to fund them we need to go to the world of brands in other words

advertising. the influencers receive a cut of the ad revenue and produce up to $100.00 pieces of content a day. their private lives may have taken a backseat for the moment but that doesn't matter. they all want to seize their opportunity here and now. influencers are supposed to talk about crucial topics to produce valuable content and teach important. so we have a lot of responsibility it makes sense because we have a large audience and we're better able to share important topics ideas and values chris way we can help our followers going to. the deaf house influencers may not be paying rent but what might look like a never ending party is actually a pretty tough job. to.

treat yourself and head on over to instagram to. join us on the duramax says to some of europe's finest look looser and sample now cluttering specialty. mean that as we show you here just running architecture and fashion here on instagram. and slowly. time now to spice things up a bit chili pepper and ginger are all ingredients that give certain dishes a special kick but what about horseradish now it doesn't always get the credit that it deserves now i bet you didn't know that here in germany horseradish has been cultivated for almost 500 years and you will find it in most kitchens now freshly graded horseradish certainly does pack a punch. filled

with horseradish cream. and. specialty. mainly. freshly grated. flavor with. it's something very hard.

with cream. actually it's very versatile you can also use it in desserts which is hard to imagine at 1st as it. comes down to the amount underscoring the taste of horseradish with. anything. cream or. reduce the sharpness. cooking or steaming it also causes it to lose a good portion of its. horseradish. and mustard. in northern this area a field of horseradish but it's very labor intensive however. it

still grows that horseradish is a lot of work around a 1000 working hours corrector is one of the most labor intensive plants in farming it must be and a couple times a year and when it's harvested it has to be dug up and sorted by hand no machine can do that because every root is different that wouldn't work. the tractor just loosens up the ground the rest is done by hand just the harvest accounts for close to half of the total time it's very labor intensive outside europe horseradish is only grown in a few countries such as the us and china the plant itself is native to south eastern europe for a long time horseradish along with mustard the only affordable spicy condiments available. primarily in southern germany for almost 500 years the term but there

again horseradish is a designation of origin that's protected by the e.u. the family run company is now in its 6th generation here in bavaria it turns horseradish roots into a specialty sold in jars it is the world's oldest horseradish brand horseradish is really healthy used as a traditional medicine in a condiment since antiquity. it contains many valuable nutrients minerals and antibiotic substances. most strikingly horseradish contains twice as much vitamin c. as a lemon still most people eat horseradish because of its taste was emotionally i like it best cold with bread whether with cheese or cold cuts it goes with most everything. and prefer blue without cream so it's spicy. radish is also becoming increasingly popular in fine cuisine and not only. seeing the. world through the eyes of a child can be refreshing funny and even artistic now would you recognize this

portrait of me according to a 6 year old well one british father took his children sketches and turned them into an internet sensation and now kids from all over the world tom curtis their childlike drawings which he transforms into 3 d. images well we caught up with him in britain to see how he makes their dreams come true. these animals are one of a kind. of horse with no neck a cat with human teeth. and a cow with claws. these are what children's drawings would look like if they came to life. british designer tom curtis came up with the idea of a world in which children's imaginative become reality. the 1st drawing we actually brought to life was

a portrait that my son had done of me and i kind of knew it was going to be pretty grotesque and of course the process is actually quite long so i could see it developing into this hideous picture so his the his the drawing and then the actual real. looks like that i think becky sort my wife she thought she'd married the wrong person. curtis began his project things i have drawn in 2015 when his children were younger their drawings of animals monsters cars and people inspired him. 'd with the help of digital technology he transformed them into surprising pictures. what i think is so special about the project is that encourages kids to be creative and i think there's so many different distractions out there in the world these days like computing for example but why. the ideas for his children's

drawings often came from excursions his family took around their home villages chatting to northwest of london. and his wife encourage their children to express themselves creatively. helps motivate them. you know. as a family project within a couple of years after it was just friends who sent their children. he would create is. then he started posting. pictures on instagram today tom curtis receives around. from children all over the world.

it takes him around 15 hours to transform. and works as the creative director of a media agency he edits the pictures in his free time. is now. so for example of this all here from the original photograph i'm going to bring it on to the picture here put it into place zoom in so you can see the detail and make sure it fits nicely and then we can even move it around a little bit so a photo of a rabbit becomes a fantastical creature from a child's imagination. the

designer sons are now reaching the age where they're too old to contribute drawings themselves but thanks to the artworks he receives from around the world tom curtis will continue to bring children's fantasies to life. and with that we come to the end of another show now don't forget to follow us on facebook and until we meet again for me and the rest of the crew here in berlin stay safe and we'll see again. the.

colorful bunch. if a phalanx of all a good state sports a good candidate with a common goal making cargo shipping sustainable with wood instead of steel and wind and solar power instead of heavy oil. the world's largest emissions free cargo ship is being built in costa rica. $3000.00 the. next on t.w. . but 2050 more than half the world will be leaving with limited water

resources we haven't had to think about our war or worry about. i think that era is over misses the crisis of our time it's a financial problem like any other financial. the world is changing jim us important commodity boom has gone be free for a lords a water necessity or commodity. in 45 minutes on d w. a little guys this is the 77 percent stuff up for africa soup to sleep issues his share i guess. you noticed said l.b. and not afraid captain delicate topic africa's population is growing.

and young people clearly have the phoenicians the future. is 77 percent now. on d w o. welcome to kill abel 3000. this week we meet ship builders in costa rica who are proving that shipping and sustainability do fit together and we learn about a shiny a future for diamonds can laugh made gems bring an end to the mystery of mining. but 1st another precious commodity water in the himalayas hydro power stations are

on the rise and they're taking their toll on nature. like elsewhere temperatures are rising in the himalayas iglesias of northern india a melting with devastating consequences in february this year a mudslide into iraq and buried almost 200 people dozens of them lost their lives climate activists say hydro power stations are to blame their construction involves large scale blasting and tree felling leading to land erosion now local residents are fighting back. and even a cretin i'm seeing is angry with the government and its promise of environmentally friendly energy he lives on the same river a small tributary in the marshall pradesh state within 20 years the state built over 800 hydroelectric power stations 2 of them on the saints.

to begin with we thought this project would greatly benefit and develop the area but when the work was underway it didn't turn out the way they play and. there's no water in the entire area. our roads our environment our homes our learned everything has been destroyed we've been left with nothing. yet. the same valley residents say they were promised compensation and jobs instead they long. their entire livelihood which were traditionally based on agriculture. now with the 2 hydroelectric plants on the same river there's nowhere near enough water for the farmer's fields. and to more power plants are under construction there. as an environmentally friendly power source hydroelectric plants have become an important generator of electricity around the world in 3rd place behind coal and gas. and that also makes them

a lucrative source of income. and he macho predation the state government rakes in over 9000000000 rupees that's 100000000 euros in electricity revenues annually. environmental activists now regard the hydropower boom with skepticism. thing research as the effects it's had on biodiversity and people's lives in the region. these mega projects have a negative impact on the environment around them when the land has been expropriated it's then submerged in water that means sources of livelihood like agriculture are completely destroyed. there's large scale deforestation construction and influx of people and that all these to further environmental imbalances. that make you the body heat something. on top of that the region is prone to earthquakes damn breaches avalanches and landslides

would be catastrophic for the people living here there was a landslide recently in the neighboring state of iraq and. the river teton lies only 40 kilometers away from the same valley. another small tributary but it flows through untouched nature. it's one of the few in the region with no hydro electric plant. that's things to run jeev bharti in 2000 to a number of hydroelectric power stations along the river were given planning permission. bharti teamed up with other villagers and went to court. everybody was on the project all the while you get it. and all the bureaucracy oh so why would anybody if they did and mostly you except if you thought you know ben you preach to the little couldn't even buy any it was

a lot of private investors would have taken the. electricity he wouldn't actually agree with it at all and just everything it would indicate. the villagers won their case though it took 3 years. their homeland and livelihoods have been preserved they still live off agriculture and fishing and in recent years they've also established a sustainable tourist industry in their valley inviting travellers to their own homes. the would be a small home state will be the only didn't there's not a lot of you know division that took place and we all this dark people that buddhism is has to be treated as an ordinary day of income generation. you know and thankfully they're also. you know prove that i. now 20000

people are visiting the teton valley annually the residents are in much more with tourism than the hydro plant operators. promised them in compensation. anglers hikers bird watchers and study groups mostly from india come to see the myriad species in the environment the villagers defended so well. the conflicts a common in mining regions to cobalts platinum and gold are known as rare earths and industry is dependent on them just one cell phone can contain 60 different elements all of which have to be extracted from the ground such mining destroys fast areas of land and natural habitats which countries rich in such precious metals often suffer more than they gain but there could be a light at the end of the tunnel at least when it comes to diamonds.

and you know it really a token of love. that right anybody ever had a marketing miracle. in the industry is for. a dime it is for every dollar counts. inspiration for countless song. and movie. but they also cause brutal civil wars. and environmental destruction. beautiful pure precious diamonds are strangers to the earth's surface their true home is in the hellish foundry of the earth's mantle. more than 150 kilometers deep with temperatures over 800 degrees celsius under conditions impossible to

replicate except that's not quite true. we can make that. scientists can grow diamonds in the land. are seen as it's my dime and they are getting so much better and faster. that soon enough we might no longer need to mind the. damage. is actually taught to this community. this is far i moved to an activist to a spent his life exposing crimes in zimbabwe's time into business this made him into a target for corrupt authorities do you actually wanted me executed. the state security did in my home i managed to sneak through the window. his reports horrified western consumers we did

a lot of it just on my own as going in there because all that so in the kitchen they don't notice them the custom in the end is sit dogs in their. people also shoot to kill. thanks to his work and that of n.g.o.s like human rights watch and global witness human rights are better protected today but environmental destruction persists diamond mines can cause deforestation respiratory illnesses and polluted water in regions where that's already a scarce resource people used to to fish from that river they cannot do it anymore because of the syndicates coming from the customer because i'm dying the fish are dying so it's a disaster and normally hold them accountable for their crimes but economics could succeed where politics failed the profitability of these mines depends on perceived

rarity and that's starting to crumble. diamonds were never precious amish families been in the diamond business for 3 generations but his company is breaking industry taboos the very idea of diamonds was of me a myth created by debaters. a company that for a long time controlled the production of most of the world's signers. and which has its one time chairman said to increase their value by making them artificially scarce. since the 1960 s. it's been possible to make tiny grains for industrial applications. for 5 years ago we started to see advancements in technology that allowed for production of general quality diamonds and high enough quality to be used and. here's how it works we take a slice of all to create

a diamond and it's arranged in a proprietary chamber you arrange those seeds almost like a waffle and you close the chamber you raise the temperature inside. it combination of propriety gases when the temperature is in the mid 132-1500 degree centigrade meetin splits the pure carbon separated starts bonding this one. starts connecting with this seat that's sitting at the bottom of the chamber and i mean grossly have by layer this technology is energy intensive but it's still more sustainable and profitable than traditional mines just a few months ago one of the world's biggest diamond mines closed forever because it was no longer profitable to keep digging the conductivity makes diamonds wonder material for engineers it also makes rings more resistant solar panels more

efficient lasers more powerful hard drives smaller and much much better electronic devices these higher tech out. cations represent i was very very small part of the industry at this point. 3 so it could be decades away but i think we're going to see. more products that we use on every day basis. and let's not forget we're no longer needing to mind. growing diamonds will provide a more sustainable alternative for zimbabwe. the number one that is less human rights abuses. is the issue of pollution will be significantly reduced. and then said leak dam one is good governance and even the military. therefore i

completely support. low pay and dangerous working conditions are common in the ship breaking in the streets to 600 certain container ships were demolished last year alone the oil and chemicals released in the process pose a huge risk to both people and the planet and freighters a grave polluters over their roughly 30 year life spans to one vessel can use up to 300 tons of heavy fuel oil a day the global shipping industry produces 940000000 tons of c o 2 emissions every year new regulations from 2020 m. to reduce this but can the sec to do without heavy fuels and steel all together one shipyards in costa rica has found a way. when it truly is held in costa rica there needs to be

a good reason. and this is it a traditional tall ship named saber for transporting cargo it's being built with the wood of $400.00 trees but it's carbon neutral we claim to be more than $4000.00 trees so far and we will be creating over 12000 before saving his water. the main office for the. shipyard is in a treehouse. all in keeping with the overall concept of sustainability this is where the ambitious project is managed. well we want to do is using save our flagship step for the for profit company and prove that we can be green should be fired. international shipping produces a significant share of global emissions. is designed to change that course by showing that things can work differently inspired by the project dozens of people

have got on board their best remembered from i'm a boat building instructor from holland and from omaha nebraska and the united states for the fine. the local time for both i am from portugal my name's russell i'm from the west coast of canada and i'm support group so i do whatever needs to be done every helping hand is needed the initiators including links from canada want to raise awareness and provide an alternative form of shipping their freighter has to be 100 percent emissions free and that's not all. it's for using sustainable local materials right that are sourced within the region so we also have a clean shipping. business that we're building but we're also also promoting sustainable building as well cargo ship building which is something when you compare it to steel is a lot more environmentally friendly. the ship which is $45.00 metres long is due to

set sail next year powered only by the wind and where necessary solar powered electric motors $250.00 tons of cargo. the vision includes investing in the community by employing and training up local people like you i mean it. she used to live from fishing among the men from some of the coast. i never dreamed of getting a job like this or i'm learning things today i love it best i worked on the big ship now i'm on a small accompanying bike it's nice to. hear. the workers receive breakfast and lunch here the chefs come from the local town of $20.00 or jumps a few the food is plentiful and mostly vegetarian in from self grown produce shipyard offers both jobs and prospects drawing people like logan mcmanus a coaster rican who used to live in florida. but something very humbling and

inspiring. yeah but even looking at it from a far from social media to just looks like something from a dream and i'm living it. as simba takes shape manager danielle has been looking for customers interested in using the ship to transport their goods between central and north america. one future contractor is an hour's drive away in the mountains. the organic coffee plantation is small but aims for top quality the farm is relatively new run by people with a vision who don't mind working in the damp humid conditions of the rain forest. they're targeting the u.s. and canadian markets seeking customers who love coffee and care about the environment. small producers or conscious environmentally conscious producers such

as this farm is inherent part of our business model will ship pretty much almost anything but we really want to ship is parked just like this and telling stories like that. as yet only the ships framework is complete seba is costing 4000000 euros to build more ships are planned financed by investment partly from individuals and small investors who believe in the project. the 3 mass tall ship is due to set sail early next year the team is committed to producing the world's cleanest cargo ship a wooden ship will last 150 years whereas these big steel ships which are a lot bigger impact on the environment they're going to be beached somewhere after 1020 years max and they're going to be scrapped for metal and some 3rd world country that. really doesn't need all that pollution. another day's work is not over. the i mean that is proud to be employed by the shipyard which is

located in one of the poorest parts of coast rica. she has fixed working hours and good paying. the single mother started out as a cleaner at the shipyard but she received training there in carpentry so that she can work on the ship. i'm sorry great to be part of the save the town and not fishing in the monger i guess. that used to be the only way i money so that my daughter and i could supply. 90 percent of goods worldwide are transported by seen in ships powered mostly by heavy oil saber is designed to show that all the pollution isn't necessary. the company management is appealing to governments worldwide to reduce the emissions from shipping they're convinced it can be done i don't want to sound like a dreamer but yeah i do think so i think that our efforts here have already changed the world we've already invited to speak up 23 in bonn here speaking there few

years ago and we have created a growing tension from large companies from other shipping companies from the united nations. have seen these small compared to the giant steel freighters the ocean but the company isn't aiming to generate huge profit it just wants to point the way in times of advancing climate change. slowing down climate change that's what. series is all about this week we had to kenya solar power given the high costs used to be an issue now though there are some very affordable options. on many sent her love of flowers has brought grace near child a long way today she's the proud owner of a flower farm in the town of near the kenyan capital nairobi it's

a certified fair trade company with more than $500.00 employees together they grow 20 different fridays a rose. and we'll from us on this is because of my lawful for us long before even bought this farm you know even if probably someone would say about this about the business and then for us for me it is many it was very important that i walked with the product that i like to myself i was happy. for nearly 30 hectares of land are covered with greenhouses full of roses all of the flowers are grown without the use of chemicals once harvested the roses are packed and placed in a cold store ready to be sent to europe both the cold store and the artificial lighting use a lot of electricity but the power supply isn't always reliable in kenya and power cuts are frequent. gracemere china has often had to decide whether to keep the

flowers fresh using a diesel generator which is costly for to let the roasts die so for years she's looked for alternatives. renewable energy sources like solar power were always very expensive. but last year she got a solar system that offers up to 150 kilowatts of power financed with the help of a german startup called they called the job. they can fuss afford to do get us about the benefits. along the way we all saw that it was possible for us some to start with just a few steps and to get to a place where we can be halfway. she now pays around $2400.00 euros a month to the start up it's a lot of money but still around 30 percent less than she used to pay for

electricity after 9 years the system will be paid off and she'll only need to finance the maintenance costs equal egos serves a number of businesses. kenya including another flour company called rift valley roses here they've set up a floating solar system. called leader co-founder martin bought has come from germany to inspect the installation he's worked with solar power for 16 years and swears by it companies that use it to reduce their energy bills actually saving a lot of money secondly it's also saving c o 2 emissions and helping us to save the planet. the firm already has rooftop solar panels from nickel ego but more electricity was needed as they had no land free for a 2nd solar system the owners came up with the idea of using their farm reservoir from which they irrigate the roses it's kenya's 1st floating solar system it was

set up by technician. he's installed a number of solar systems for it called the go since the project 1st began in 2017 . but this here was quite different. well the floating system has a lot of different issues compared to a lead molded system. as you know it has to be a resistance you have to now understand how to move things because you're talking about something that floats and we don't know any of these items so we have to rely . on the technical team at equal legal. to start up now operates in 6 countries legal has an unusual funding policy to push forward its energy revolution because bank loans are usually slow to come through the company operates only with crowd funding the money comes directly from private investors individuals or families crowd investing has a few advantages it's flexible it's fast and it helps people to actively do

something against the climate crisis by using that capital for sustainable energy projects like this. especially the fact that it's fast and flexible helps us to use it for these kind of projects. the investment has definitely paid off for grace near china and it's encouraged her to keep aiming higher than in the future we can only hope that there will be less power cuts but i am myself is that we may get to a place where we are a 100 percent particularly when. you see a poll that will be using sora. that would take her one step closer to her own timid goal to sell flowers that are not only fair trade but also grown on a farm that's completely climate neutral. that's all from us at global 3000 pixley thanks for joining us we'd love to hear your
