a big on iceland's north coast it is home to just 2300 people but now it's buzzing with excitement because it could become world famous all thanks to an oscar nomination for best original song the song is called tools of vick my hometown it comes from the movie you're a vision song contest the story of which is set in who is a big and it really is in the running for an academy award and now the whole town is doing its best to bring the osca home to who is i think. this is a small harbor town of who civic located on the northern coast of iceland it's a sleepy little place mainly known for its whale watching excursions at least it was until hollywood arrived you know the song and icelandic would never win

eurovision song i know i know i'm being silly but i'm just i'm just anxious the musical comedy euro vision song contest the story of fire saga put who civic on the international map in 2020 to film it with hollywood stars will ferrell and rachel mcadams is set in the coastal towns it's about 2 small time musicians who are trying desperately to be in the contest following a series of disasters they end up representing iceland local entrepreneur or leave or listen has seen 1st hand how the film changed the town this is the 1st time those are real production of the sort of thing i do almost all for really excited but we didn't know what this bill would be a lot like so when it came out you were actually very pleased with how we are depicted in this film we like to make fun of ourselves so we really enjoyed hollywood doing that as well. and now the films featured track to civic my hometown has been nominated for an oscar for best original song.

my. mom. believes his efforts helped get nominated he organized a campaign to get the song widely known. or not really one when the song had the chance to get to the oscars decided to go full steam ahead. to a campaign who told the local community a rally together. you can already use the bulb you've been doing has had to impact this well. the result was this video. won by and by members. all scuttle stuff that'll come to my hometown. the most notable column in the book because the more. i have the opinion like any of michigan who far from over the border with a new book. that's a moment i'm the only author who thought. everyone knows how to do something you

know so we came together to work on this video that we have if you want to tell a funny story but also to raise awareness that this song use his attempts to win and to get people to listen to. since the nomination everyone here is rooting for the song even the schoolchildren have learned how to sing it. it was.

in the meantime preparations are underway in who civic for the academy awards in los angeles on april 25th. the main street has been given the red carpet treatment in the hopes of a winner. so how do the locals rate the songs chances the chances are pretty good it's in my opinion by far the best song out of all the ones that are nominated this song is sketchy and the melody is spew to for you and there i hope the academy or grace who's ever gets number one and one in iceland of the one in europe and number one in the world at the moment i think this song still stands a pretty. the chance of winning this song actually plays a big role in the film but if the other song stay on the porch some sort of comedy they are and put it so this one actually marks the turning point in the story so not something that is about you. win or lose the song about who civic has brought

new life to the local community and to the personality of the town. some people live in apartments of us and houses and some even live in form of churches like past kaviak at his home is a converted 16th century church a modern kitchen has replaced all tar and instead of religious motifs the walls are now decorated with mortar off course we've met up with him in northern spain where he literally zips from one room to the next. it's heading from one room to the next via a slack line suspended 10 meters in the air converted church. welcome to my home i hope you like it. is neither an artist nor a priest this multimedia designer lives in a former 16th century church now converted into

a spacious loft it's located in so planted. in northern spain affording a stunning view of the region's hilly landscapes if you were in the middle of nature in a forest is what fascinates me most as well as the fact that this is a truly unique building. waking up in the mornings the 1st thing i see are these. stone arches and old brick work living here really is something special. inside the only reminder that this was once a place of worship is the buildings basic layout now it is home to his girlfriend and his dog. 36 year old toss had a modern kitchen fitted where the altar once stood and instead of statues of the holy. cross is artwork hang on the walls. what you see here dates back to the year 1530. it was important to us not to change anything as

far as was possible. you can still see some of the old and different layers of paint from different periods in history that is. going to you know. the anterior design is all tosses work he even crafted some of the furniture himself like this dining table. also came up with this quirky wine rack. the church hadn't been in use since the late 1970 s. and had fallen into disrepair eventually. sold the ruin to top. in 2016 together with the help of an architect friend taz got to work restoring the building it took 3 years i thought though that year that i don't there were chunks of stone and wooden beams inside the lately but i get the elements of the plot truth given that i knew it would be done but i found out the walls are almost 500 years old just going good condition that i will be there you will get

a full title of the letters they have to prop up the dome and bell tower will work with it and he will people but everything else was fine you know if i would it affect i mean. toss that installed a wooden frame on or around a quarter of the space to create 2 separate floors there are no dividing walls which means the bedroom is only separated by 3 thin metal ropes from the rest have been made. yet however i do get some privacy when they sleep in the converted bell tower. causes work space overlooks the entire interior space. of. the opposite room meanwhile can only be reached via a slack line suspended in mid-air. which went too much for our camera man.

so. we're still figuring out what to do with that room we might turn into a bedroom me or a library. because we also need to decide how to make it accessible until about the only way across is via a 10 meter high slack line i must admit. but not everyone likes that. after hours stunned at his desk loves unwinding with sports so he hits his homemade skate ramp. visit thanks for coming by. and if this is his favorite way to round off the day skating outside his very own church. you certainly need to head for heights to live there well when i did the movie that is it certainly does involve anything like michael jackson but the man in our next report can certainly pull the crowds with his version in fact sunny day from paris

is so good that he has become an internet. is on the shops and he's a in paris his specialty is the moonwalk which was michael jackson's famous movie back in the 1980 s. so the game has even danced in the louvre in paris. and in the. mall i still remember watching michael jackson's music video when i was 3 years old for me it was more exciting than a cartoon i was absolutely fascinated by. michael jackson has been imitated by many but so far hardly anyone has reached such success as the 24 year old frenchman with sandy go to his roots from a poor paris. posted this video in october 2013 and has now received more than 10000000 clicks on instagram he looks.

might think it's odd and ask themselves well who is this guy and where is he come from but i think i deserve my success i worked so hard for it but i'm not surprised it's more of a release. finally i thought to myself. saif has 2300000 followers on instagram including the american wrestling and movie star wayne johnson he's also danced with certain tennis players novak djokovic. is a legend and it was a real honor. surprisingly most of it was that he knew what i am and what i do. he had already known who i was for quite a while and that made me happy. leave now also works as a model even designed his own sneakers for

a french fashion label by now he is well known in paris where people approach him regularly. it still feels weird i tell myself sometimes yes that's how it is now and he will recognise you. now a days so he makes good money with his various activities he even has a manager of the days when he danced for money on the streets of paris are long over ringback. i once lost my phone to dance to buy a new one. so clubs in one day there's a 100 euros again and bought a new phone with the money. i paid with the one i'm going to euro coins the salesman was really surprised. he does not need to dance on the street nowadays but he can't help himself. right now i like this move. and that i'll come back.

to you special he enjoys hanging out with his friends they can dance almost as well as he can but haven't had the same success. with my host friends of my parents as i might i have become. the person i am today. i'm very grateful to them . spending time with them does me good in them what you see in our world makes me stronger was what a story is this is why for me to want to pull the more i became an artist because if it weren't for many of these games the star 1 may can see on the internet as well as experience up close on the street for free. to treat yourself in head on over to our instagram to. join us our girl mag says to some of your offspring is a local you should sample not the modern culture. that is we show you

a network of paths that links the historic buildings with flower beds. when we create open spaces we are always paying attention to what is already there and kiss it away so to speak like in sleeping beauty we want to make it visible again and accentuate the atmosphere. like in the moat which can be accessed by a giant slide. through our lives team also mix things up by planting all varieties of vegetables and herbs between the flowers. there spinach garlic and mint. demonstrates centuries old local gardening traditions for example with woad a once highly prized plant. this is woad the plant that made air for it rich in the middle ages the leaves are used to produce blue dye it was very valuable in the middle ages. the 1st ever international garden show was hosted an air of hurt

in 865 then in 1961 when after it was in the former communist east germany it began staging regular international horticultural shows with the new park at their heart . 5 the park remains the main attraction 60 years later the huge garden complex is one of the state's top tourist attractions and will be even more colorful until this year's show ends in october 2 highlights are the new desert and tropical house as well as europe's largest ornamental flower bed. the par will be something truly spectacular spring is coming finally with temperatures rising. after 2020 people are even more keen on gardens. you can see that plants are a big topic on social media right now and that's great. is really glad that this

fruit that grows scare is perfect for one of australia's most famous treats the viennese apple strudel empress elizabeth also known as sissy nuff the sweet pastry just as much as i do let's find out what is important when making an original viennese apple strudel in a new episode of food secrets. i was told that in person lizabeth nickname c.c. had her apple strudel delivered by dame underground tunnel leading to the hostel but. this is that it's almost a main course soup together with soup so i think a calorie intake has been reached. is

if you're going to there and those kinds of struggles in a sweet one is alone so there is an apple strudel fruit strudel this is the cherry strudel strawberry strudel and apricots and only. my name is rudolph so on our group i had pastry chef matt damon in vienna and i've been baking apple strudel him since i was 6 years old. we start with the strudel dough consisting of flour salt one egg and lukewarm water and oil. we had some very good now we come to the highlight a nice apple strudel. we stretch the strudel dough.

this is the cone confectioner must master this art. of the new school day when you toss the strudel dough up in the air it expands and becomes thinner and thinner. the students it's a struggle is now so then you can read this book through it. the poison drums absorb the apples liquid up through that means the butter comes soak it up and it doesn't become too dry ice at least on this. it's black until now let's make our rum raisins. remember the raisins soak up the rum all. when you're used to it tasting sweet and sour i mean. i grow fruit all

quiet here by. austria's largest apple growing village we have 16 different varieties so that. the steam the climate here is ideal for growing apples because we have very cool nights warm days during autumn and they give the apples they're lovely red and yellow when you stop such an old it's good that. they use whole dough to superintend fluids through the stock and if the apples chunks are too large or that they destroy a student a sister. it's good now we had cinnamon sugar. done to mons and their daughters now there's. this gift in this round off it's wonderful flavor. so it demands and boast that it's done if you don't have apples

with enough acidity and space in this so i thought you just add some more lemon juice on and so if you see a. done deal now you lift up the front and roll the struggle. with the dancers to be at. least a little bit on the on then. you covered 2 and better. but it's additionally have apple strudel a server just on its own just with icing sugar sprinkled on top and i think it tastes best on its own. only. the experts always make that kind of things so easy but i actually assure you it

that if i tried to make an apple strudel it would not look anything like that at all and with that it's time to round up the show but you probably go just a quick reminder to check out all the details of our current view as draw on our website until we meet again from all of us here in berlin thanks for watching thanks they are against a. wall .

many countries nuclear power is still seen as a safe cheap source of energy currently $443.00 nuclear reactors produce energy worldwide more than $100.00 nuclear power stations are under construction or in planning yet there's still no real solution for nuclear waste it needs to be stored safely for up to a 1000000 years. since nuclear energy began being used peacefully in the 1950 s. there have been at least 12 major incidents worldwide 2 of them were catastrophic chernobyl in ukraine in 1986 and fukushima in japan in 2011 both involved accidents where reactors exploded and contaminating vast areas of land. both places still bad deep scars local towns the ghostlike.

life seemingly goes on the stone's throw from the fukushima nuclear power plant cattle here in or cooma have been through hell now the plan is to turn it into a paradise that's such a key tourney's wish her animals are one big family money kind of. money as a calf she was totally amazed. she was the 2nd born when you got here you can see the 1st 3rd 4th and 5th born after her either died of starvation or something else happened. i think that with the fact that it's a good. only a handful of cows live on the phone the plan is for them to grow old in peace here or meat from the exclusion zone where almost no humans live. 3 of the cows survived the initial disaster fleeing to the hills where they nearly starved to death only to be reunited years later at the fonz that's a p.

tiny built for. they immediately started moving and getting close enough to lick each other as if to say you survived was that. sets of kitani came from tokyo to help her work keeping the cows alive is financed through donations the animals in the desolate region with its invisible radiation generate neither jobs no profit so it's a kitani says the cows are doing well but people are only allowed into the exclusion zone for an hour at a time. for madonna today i don't really think of myself 1st since i'm not really afraid it's been that way for a while i precisely calculate my own relation dose by pia fast there. is a ghost town before the disaster more than 10000 people lived here today it's less than 300. most people who return to their homes are elderly. she gave his

sato is different he's one of a humorous few newcomers and in his mid thirty's to him moving here was a wild adventure he is honest and blunt saying what most prefer to keep to themselves. that they shouldn't try to europe people with so much taxpayer money and just for the hell of it so what's the point always we can work with people. she gave his son to doesn't see people outside the gym he attends he does all his shopping online he thinks whoever comes here is food. he also says that building large greenhouses to grow strawberries was stupid regardless of the cost. but so feels like an explorer the futility of the place appeals to him that's how he ended up at the strawberry farm even if he thinks it's senseless. to mortal now there was nothing here before you took an effort to make all this

whoever built this is a fool all the way most of all not at all. the radiation is measured the strawberries are safe to eat but selling them outside the region is difficult as the area's reputation is also contaminated. there's no hiding what happened here rows and rows of bags storing contaminated radioactive material. before leaving the exclusion zone that's a key tunnies radiation must be measured. residents here will live this way for decades to come but. still tiny defies the naysayers who dismiss her as the crazy cow lady. there's a lot yourself there are a few truths about me. i'm a newcomer i'm young foolish and i'm a woman i know you and i have no farming experience or you're going down on

prostitution is a global phenomenon if banned in a country. it simply goes underground if it's emitted it's just more visible it's hard to know how many sex workers there are worldwide estimates range between $13000000.14 sex work usually takes place on the edge of the law the united nations says more than hough of all global human trafficking is related to it many women and girls allege into sexual slavery with false promises of a better life. this is the red light district of sangli in southwestern india sex workers here have up to 60 customers a night. in this region an old hindu religious practice is still widespread the devil system young girls are offered in marriage to a daisy and then his servants are forced to offer sexual services. even on what i

do is wrong but i don't have a choice. every morning shop nonpaying to rangoli in front of her premises. supposed to bring wealth and good fortune. she spends much of her time in the 7 square metres she's been a sex worker here since she was a teenager. that if i left the system we would start of this i have to continue to seek loans i don't have any education is so the most i could earn in a regular job would be about one euro a day. how could we get by on that it's nothing shabnam doesn't know how old she is about 30 she says she has 2 daughters but doesn't know who their fathers are. and a room. shabnam doesn't remember when she became a devotee the system was outlawed 36 years ago but the bomb is not enforced i'm

told about 300000 sangley we are going to have a dusty is used to perform important religious toss in temples and enjoy the high social status nowadays it's very different it almost always means a life of prostitution at the margins of society it. the last remnant of the system's former meaning a small shrine. the temple where shabnam was inducted as far away as are her parents she still supports them with a large part of her meager earnings it's a cruel system that oppresses women shop rather tells me about as she's a devil as well as a temple priest knowing that. when we started to say to you we came here and ended up as prostitutes we've never liked having sex with clients but at least our parents are doing well and have something to eat by then. shabnam listens closely talks about her life and their family. how do you feel when you

hear her saying all that. it makes me sad i mean the same situation. that shop naaman are still support their families even though it was they who are to blame for their plight. shop now ms determined to see to it that her daughters will one day lead a better life. at midday she goes home to cook lunch for her children she lets me come along. i'm surprised to find a mom there. and i want. what's what's her name. your name or what you write your ok my name all over. raja shop noms boyfriend they've been together for a year he was one of our clients now he wants her to stop being a sex worker. she should get out of the devil see system i want

her to i can earn the money and look after her. she can run the household and i'll do the rest if she's happy i'm happy so let's go let a look at you know. shabnam does not share rogers vision of their future together as a happy family. i love whatever. it's all well and good that he wants me to give up prostitution and being a devotee. but he will look after my mother or ensure the future of my children how much money could he save and give them. 20 euros a month won't be enough if i'm to marry off my daughters. one positive aspect of their lives is the school which shabnam on her daughters all attend school for sex workers and their families. it was set up

a few years ago by deepak chopra our colleague. they teach reading and writing to adults and children several times a week for free yes. the women here may have been betrayed by their parents but they clearly want their children to lead happier and more fulfilled lives. there. then. the sex workers have spent their entire lives here we want to change that for their sons and daughters. they should be successful and when they're big be able to look after their mothers. that's what sapna is determined to do she also has her future mapped out. that. i want to be a doctor when i grow up. but for now life remains tough and brutal many women start work as the sun goes down in the red

light district. it will come if somebody you have an opportunity to film here at night that we're going to hide our camera so the customers don't see it let's see what happens on my bus that i was on. about $5000.00 men come here each day the price of sex is $2.00 euro's 50. that's a lot more than the women could aren't in another job as a result they're left trapped in sex work. we humans take up a lot of space on our planets filling it with industrial areas highways houses shopping malls each year in germany alone an area the size of almost 80 football fields is turned into construction sites for housing and transport modern farming to with its monoculture has dominates rural areas truly wild areas of a rare yet desperately important for plants and animals.

pristine nature wide open spaces and. heavy artillery. this area engulfing bill was a big very military training area more than a century ago now it's run by the u.s. army it covers almost 230 square kilometers. the terrain is a kind of noah's ark living alongside 12000 soldiers all representatives of 3000 species of animal and plant more than 800 of them are endangered. it's an act to mention humans practiced killing in the training grounds poorly leave while for nature this is pure life it sounds paradoxical. but all the areas in between are just pulsating with life because here nobody is using nature and

giving the no to the can feel. good in light of the works for the very nature conservation organization when new buildings are planned he's often called in to identify bird species at potential risk. launch off military training areas of the only large tracts of countryside apart from national parks and there are no pesticides are used most people don't realize that our farm land is sprayed several times a year with highly toxic substances. and they kill off most of the small organisms . wild meadow flowers and insects pick this up get through that. spot something or. look a white tailed eagles here it's got some prey and invite all the court all ravens are over there to see it. the white tailed eagle is an apex predator at the top of its food chain if fish and other fish eating them. for pets now live here

that's great news for conservationists. another valuable feature of coffin van all the wind expenses of a printer right. there on many such areas left 7000 did gracie in that may prevent any forest from emerging but this kind of landscape is home to animals and plants that don't thrive among trees. such as sky no. this can be a noisy place but the animals don't mind says who but on top of germany's federal forests administration. we hear shooting in the background all the time we might find it unpleasant you can't ask the animals but our observations suggest they don't react to the noise so he's we see no evidence that they do what we often see

deer near or right on the shooting ranges on land where shells could land. and they just don't flinch when it gets really loud we see the same with the eagles that neither the shooting nor the drones bother them with drones motor is a major very. unpleasant a high pitched sound if you were an organism and was. you know belly toads like this one also seem relaxed they spawn in the deep tracks in the mud made by all the heavy vehicles. when the babies grow up they'll spend the rest of their lives on land. but we think the unseen is this is pretty much an eldorado for amphibians creatures that need both water and land. doing stuff lots of places to live in water meadows along the rivers steamin until the rivers are straight out now the habitats are mainly in military training areas quarries it's an order in

a polish state but what about the spent munition lying around that contains traces of heavy metals the us army garrison environmental division checks for pollution across the base stefan hassel is one of its employees on the owsley a common these are many times that extend in there is a system in place to monitor the impact of munition residues on the trains on the me by region because it was developed in cooperation with the bavarian authorities samples are regularly taken from streams spawns underground water across the training area of music in down on the there analyzed and the results go to the district administration of and the state water authority because you see on the reason i gave you say so be they evaluate the findings and take action if required . before humans intervened much of europe was covered in trees. forest fire is where common phenomena.

is. quite normal a lightning strike or during a hot summer would my catch fire. what can you nowadays firefighters rushed to the scene and put it all out but here if a shell hits and trees go up in flames nobody comes and extinguishes the fire straight away. that's often not possible. so we have extensive forest fires just as they would occur in a natural landscape. yogen shmita is a well it just an expert unpeaceful in the traps he set up he's found species that actually need trees to burn in order to survive. elsewhere they are rare. it seems that the military doesn't have to be the enemy of nature. and virt is the largest u.s. training area outside the united states and also

a treasure trove of nature. 'd in this week's global idea as we look at a problem well known to city dwellers around the world the seemingly endless traffic of rush hour. in colombia's capital bogota people are finding creative ways out of the jams a boon for both residents and the planet's. oh good time is a big dirty and noisy city fearful issue kills about 2000 people here every year the air quality in the colombian capital is often so bad that environmental state of emergency has to be declared. greenhouse gas emissions linked to the transporting of goods by road contribute significantly to the problem but that isn't a change. in part thanks to people such as daniel sanchez he used to be part of the

problem now he's part of the solution a pioneer of change on the streets of bogota. i used to drive a truck there were always 2 of us. everything took a long time because the traffic jam was on having turned out for a place to park. this last year was really tiring. now he drives an electric delivery try cicle this is the cross docking station at the edge of the city center goods are transferred here from large trucks to the small he. the vehicles for delivery into downtown. the project was launched by the municipality since last year the green alliance has headed the city government for the 1st time. what all of this young voices of that i thought that was also the most transport is responsible for about 79 percent
