lou. we've got some tips for your bucket list. to corner. store for food. and some great cultural mores to boot. b.t.w. . we go. this might look like a sunken battleship but it's actually one of the most unusual buildings in berlin will find out more about this bizarre architecture later on in the show. everyone and welcome to another edition of euro max with me your host meghan lee

here's a look at what else we've got in store for you today. a trip to the islands takes over multiroom which is fast becoming a destination for foodies. and how similar are dogs and their owners one german for charter 1st takes an up close and personal look. but we start off with a british artist who has made a name for herself not just by sculpting famous faces but also by the amount of time it takes her to complete the job frances siegelman recreates her subjects likeness in just 2 hours it's her signature style well seeing is believing so we caught up with the artist in london to watch her in action. violin maverick nigel kennedy prime minister johnson and other members of british society when sculptor francis siegel money enters her studio in east london she always has

silent observance here she's working on a private commission the 72 year old has always been at home in art. that she started as a hobby and all my life i was an artist because i come from a very very artistic background i took up a little class where my hug my 2 little children and then from that minute always i was completely obsessed with sculpture i'd never want to stop working i never want to stop doing it and only in about 30 years ago 32 years ago i started doing which is a career. her special talent is working quickly she can sculpt a bust in about 2 hours siegelman often works in front of an audience for charity such as with these pieces british film diva joan collins russian ballet dancer sergei polonia and british actress joanna lumley.

i love working in an audience. i'm not very keen on being my own studio which is quite strange but i have to have positive thinking all the way through the 2 hours otherwise the sculpture doesn't work. in the year 2000 france a single mom was commissioned to sculpt prince philip the queen herself followed in 2007 since then officially a royal sculptor she is also immortalized prince charles and princess then in bronze. working with the queen was the absolute most amazing thing i've ever done it was incredible. she is such a lovely woman and obviously is very nerve wracking because like i. i measure all the time with calipers and i have to get to her hair and her face to get the measurements it was very very. over the course of the year france a single mom had 3 sessions with the queen at buckingham palace the bust was

unveiled personally by her majesty in 2008. there. but she not only betrays nobility and celebrities she is also working on a series that means a lot to her since 2017 she's been sculpting the heads of holocaust survivors there by creating lasting memorials to them. oh thought that i wouldn't be able to cope with the feelings you know when i was sculpting i were he said to me can i call you mother he said because i feel as if you give me a new life you know my life hasn't finished and it will go on and that was all i needed i was completely hooked and i just felt like these people are dying i'm going to do as many as i can. at this live event by the thames the audience is only virtually present francis siegelman will sculpt a portrait of marla tribute born in 1930 commissioned by the holocaust memorial

center yard vashem. it's something i would normally have so. i took well to it i have to say now probably find it interesting watching. because it's very skillful and she's obviously got to be so quick within 2 hours she more to license the face of the holocaust survivor and clay. the resemblance is impressive. but i sing it's a very good likeness and i'm usually quite fussy about it was other people don't know down the spine i think. probably looks much more to the not. quite stressful life. i love but i'm doing this of this wonderful beautiful lady who's been through so much. but for me it was very difficult not having

a crowd on the clay was drawing up time later that you'll be constant braun's sinatra beach and the holocaust survivors will leave on future generations through the work of frances siegelman. she certainly is talented have you ever come across a massive concrete building and thought wow now that is a monstrosity the whole chances are if it was built here in europe in the 1950 s. then it belongs to an architectural style known as brutal ism such buildings were constructed after world war 2 as part of an effort to get cities back up and functioning quickly now many of them were considered eyesores and have since been torn down but there is a growing fan base for the ones which remain. the architecture style known as brutal listen can be described as monumental colorless

and inhuman. these edifices tends to polarize to some their eyesores while others a growing number of architecture aficionados the world over are rediscovering brutalist on which. i find branch of wisdom so fascinating because it's so antagonistic and controversial on the one hand the buildings are written off as ugly and many of them do take some getting used to. but once you look behind the scenes and begin to understand why these structures look the way they do it's a whole architectural cosmos open as out. across most of the so-called cousy a house in berlin resembles a towering cruise ship architecture historian and photographer felix torre car sees it as one of the city's principal examples of brutal ism designed by french swiss architect in 1957 it contains 530 apartments on 17 floors

in what has been called a living machine then a brutal ism actually originated with a goose he coined the term based on the. unfinished concrete. and he coined it for this development. if you take a good look at the building you'll see a joint mechanical monstrosity. but at the same time one that's remained quite roar . was an able to carry out his plans for the interior except for a single apartment later remodeled to faithfully reproduce the original ideas based on his color theories. granted color the same importance as the floor plan and layout hendrix petland immediately understood the fascination and bought the apartment and most of its furnishings. we were not going to change the colors of his apartment never was like a house of cards sticking everything just fall down if you if searching too much

also left unchanged since the late 1970 s. is the czech embassy building in downtown berlin it could be regarded as an art work in itself the architect even designed the lamps tables and armchairs the address also houses the czech culture institute the building often plays a role in its exhibition its interest in this architectural style appears to be growing even if it's not universally loved. woodside movies or i believe this clash persists even now that it's either loved or hated and of course brutal ism is far more in nowadays. i've been trying to bring architecture fans into the building to tell them more about the structure of the school and i was recently a british publisher put out a series of city guides focusing on brutal isn't felix taught car took the photos and curated the berlin edition among the buildings featured are this hygiene

institute it was slated for demolition until recently now it's a listed site since they tend to stand out brutalist buildings have experienced a revival in social media triggered by campaigns aimed at preventing them from being torn down like this former animal testing laboratory in berlin in the 1960 s. when these buildings were planned a great number of structures from the mid to late 19th century were torn down buildings that we think are fabulous today and are horrified at how much beautiful old architecture has been lost at the time many of them were only around 60 years old exactly the same age as these buildings are today so we have to think about whether or not we want to repeat the same mistakes. but all the while new concrete buildings are going up in the neo brutalist style such as the loba. in berlin's betting district here fair faced concrete predominates both inside and out the

multi award winning building combines apartments and studios. it's unfinished look is not only meant to be stylish but to reduce construction costs and keep the rents down. in recent years we've noticed a new kind of openness to craftsmanship. crofts movement goes hand in hand with the idea that ought to be more hands on again so. brutal is a style of architecture that appeared over 60 years ago and still polarizes and fascinates people today. from one extreme in architecture to other extremes across the continent follow our series europe to the max on you tube for some exciting adventures. see your up from its extreme sides in europe to the max your max reporting hendrik

a fine touch to the traditional cuisine. has long been known for its commoner interline it's a total of 5 restaurants on a small mediterranean island state of being awarded. 3 more have gone from serving excellent moderately priced meals one of the michelin stars went to no need in the center of multiple capital for latter which serves traditional cuisine with a modern twist. it was named after the founder jonathan brink who is also the chef stating you have a little bit is done for 1st of all because of their subtle flavors secondly because it's very motivational as it's not very fatty you have very lean meat and mostly i think because their population are good old up in grab it. rabbit is one of the many dishes that can be ordered are comfort but there's also

a 6 course menu for the very hungry the rabbit is served with a traditional street food court has t.t. . there's also more fun to touch sheen a dish that combines pastel with octopus roku which goes back 500 years and there's a combined dessert of lemon new splatter tea and cream. by doing the most good cuisine is one of the best cuisine especially because of the games you're. not with this smells especially if your garden suburb and you smell that on what the world that if you you don't just buy those arabs but so the. offload you've got. this is the philosophy to add commander in the town of milly's some 20 kilometers away not an altar. the restaurant serves mostly french and regional projects and it was awarded are. not offering high quality dishes at affordable prices.

head chef de mint your partner runs the family business we are influenced by a lot of cuisines of our culture but also lot of people learn from arabic it early in. and that's when descriptions for the final dishes contre. the typical starter might be a tomato and a new jam served with a local sheep cheese and a whole not been a great. amount almost could be paul belly soft with cauliflower mushrooms as one a small to take on sausage filled kind alone in. his role designed to mate with dates i mean sleep cure and rosewater is called an addict when it comes to more kids busines using like for example or the basic in our it which is a very classic maltese pastry with foundries how to do new pastry how to do refrain

to filling and how to do it as a restaurant dish no food he should leave multiverse capital for latter without visiting the food market. will find a variety of dishes here from all over the world as well as traditional maltese president. that's one jonathan grant sampson his big teeth and that's the thing if. there's a combination of leaded there a.v.n. flavors were started by so i think an onion garlic and. carrots. then. we are. in the uk of course. there's all their capers. paste octopus to insert insiders sourdough bread. the 13 room is filled with some trying to mansions onions capers.

fresh. and cheese. the food that was served at the thief it's like my mom used to. my own grandmother as well so whatever with from the heart. was launched to be found here for lovers of italian food like these maltese recall to ravioli in a tomato and possible source. has many facets but whatever you're trying it's bound to be delicious. it's often been said that dogs in their own or share an uncanny resemblance well i don't have a dog so i cannot speak from personal experience but there are plenty of examples on the street as a matter of fact i just saw a short man with a somewhat flat face walking a pug or one photographer here in berlin is fascinated by the relationship between

man and his dog so he set out to get some answers. as the saying goes dogs are man's best friend and these dog owners regardless of gender love their canine and the feeling seems to be mutual. but photographer thomas here locks doesn't have a dog and never has for nearly 40 years his exclusive passion has been people. yet for his latest project he's focusing on dogs too and sometimes it's challenging. living honestly i've got to admit i have quite a bit of respect for dogs the bigger and more boisterous they are the more respect i have so it's a challenge for me but it's always good to learn something new in life good timing is an art that thomas cure. clearly has to master for this project. not all dogs love to be photographed. bribery is the main ploy to get the perfect picture.

in comparison human beings are the easier subject. this type of photography meeting dog owner at eye level is really exciting sometimes the similarity between dogs and their owners is quite amazing when you see them next to each other. of course you look for similarities because that's the cliché that owners resemble their dogs or vice versa or both but they haven't really seen that. is 55 and to berlin or by choice always has plenty of new project ideas but it was the corona pandemic above all that gave his latest person dog project a big creative push. at the time i wasn't getting many photography jobs and was spending lots of time just going for walks that's when i had a closer look at the dogs and on is i ran into i made some funny observations told

powerfully built man with a little dog for example so i thought i could explore that more closely. he's already photographed 40 pairs his images are meant to express the intense relationship between a dog and its owner he always photographs them separately and then links the photos with an identical composition the visual imagery is straightforward and direct. has already applied this is that extra his most successful projects so far. are 100 here he focused on the change in a person during the course of their life from an infant to a centenarian and another project called one he did portraits of people wearing. his works have above all one. i found the deeply looking into the eyes of another person an animal. it's a connection deep bond and this connection leads to one or being one and that's

what i want my images to convey a deep bond that we all have with each other from person to person but also from person to animal from and. whether thomas himself will at some point establish a deep connection with the dog is uncertain and more likely his human hound photos will appear in the volume of his latest photographic work to the delight of not just these dog lovers. maybe he'll do cats next. one once asked what she wore to bed american actress marilyn monroe famously said only a few drops of chanel number 5 and with that statement she cemented the perf humans reputation as a classic must have now chanel number 5 is celebrating its 100th anniversary we take a look at some of the elements that have kept it going for so long. the formula for one of the world's best known perfumes is known only to a few people one of them is olivier house perfume or for chanel over

a century has passed since coco chanel set out to develop a perfume unlike any other chanel number 5 among the more than 80 high quality compounds are tuberose jasmine and this was new synthetic aldehyde so. if she wanted an artificial purview she compared a fragrance with a dress because the dress is also created from different elements that's why should know number 5 is so different in its style and composition based around the floral aroma boosters and all the other chanel perfidious that followed it were like that . here in southern france jasmine stretches to distant hills these blossoms are reserved exclusively for the production of chanel number 5 several times a year olivia push comes from paris to cross. the blossoms are harvested in the

early mornings from august to october and taken to a nearby factory for immediate processing to. $350.00 kilos of blossoms sealed only about one kilo of pure jasmine extract. just may well be the most important element in the identity of should know number 5 when coco chanel met to push him a bow in the early 1920 s. she asked him to create a scent from the finest of compounds these are most often extracted from blossoms and of those the jasmine from grass is the finest. coco chanel and her new fragrance revolutionized the perfume world just as she had the fashion world before. in the 1950 s. the simple but elegant was made part of the permanent collection of new york city's

museum of modern art. guarded 5 as her lucky number. because she presented her collections on the 5th of may the 5th month of the year. the number 5 held great significance for her. and so she felt immediately drawn to the curfew sample number 5. from the iconic american starlet marilyn monroe to french academy award winner. many of the most beautiful women in show business have done advertising for the legendary sent. his most daunting challenge is to preserve number 5 legacy while advancing its development his perfume laboratory in paris has turned out a few variations on the classic sense over the years. the way the purview muse applied has changed over time in 1921 this gesture was in style people would put drops of

her few behind there is. that was a highly concentrated and ridge said today most prefer to apply it perfectly with the spray. so the original formula for the fragrance had to be adopted once again but. the pandemic has put a damper on plans for a big celebration for chanel number 5 centennial. but nothing can change the fact that 100 years ago. created a fragrance that has since become one of the most successful and popular on earth. and i'm out for a great notion we've come to the end of the show don't forget to follow us on social media for more on the program for me and the rest of the crew here in berlin as always thanks for tuning in and we'll see you again soon.

conservatives on g.w. . this is d w news live from berlin as the coronavirus and gulf state india accusations emerge that the government ignored scientists warnings about a new and more dangerous variant the variant that's now being blamed for a devastating surge of in sections and deaths also coming up. funerals resume in israel for victims of a stampede as a jewish festival and calls for an inquiry very loud to israelis demand accountability for the tragedy at a site that has

a long history of safety concerns. and back home on planet earth for astronauts make of red nighttime splashdown after spending more than 6 months onboard the international space station. i mean you could smoke and thanks so much for joining me as india battles an unprecedented surge of covert 19 infections and deaths a group of scientists say warnings made in march about a new and more dangerous ferry and were ignored by the government we'll talk to our correspondent about that in just a moment but 1st a look at the overall situation there hospitals are overwhelmed by the crisis and india's vaccine rollout is struggling because of a shortage of shots. india is struggling as the pandemic

2nd wave crashes over the country death and desperation are spreading so too is the fear that the government can stem the surge and end india's suffering. when the cases started rising up by government had a plan. but turns out it didn't work in the 1st week i understood that the government had no idea they're not prepared for anything that if you don't have it up until later than one often forget about all the whatever you need for the entire city already in entirely free and just one example 121000 patients died this weekend when a hospital in the capital ran out of oxygen supply for nearly an hour and a half of one of them in favor of free rein to pull forward patients. is the oxygen they need support because these are today so there across the 50. feet of increased demand in the hospital. according to early says it will start punishing

government officials for failing to deliver lifesaving items but it's impossible to give what is not yet available the international community spent the weekend sending supplies grieving loved ones and scientists blame elected officials for the worsening situation they accuse state and federal governments of ignoring medical advice and warnings about a variance. related to the government. may we look for more good as are going to go. live trains brings it over i don't know so i'm just hoping to speak to their words prime minister narendra modi and his ruling hindu nationalist party may be paying the price for their handling of the virus they suffered and upset in west bengal and failed to make gains in 2 other key state election it's. a sign that most political strength may be

slipping as the pandemic tightens its grip. let's go to our correspondent bonaire at choudhry in delhi for more than you're aware hearing that the government had in fact been warned by a form of scientific advise about a more dangerous fire aspirant back in march but that warning was apparently ignored can you tell us why. well it is a form signed in this form was formed early december last year and while plus we've now as you said they have come up and said that the you know apple warning to the government and. that the country is going to see it right in a number of pieces and that it is going to be bi annual more. than what we saw last year but clearly i have to say that the government did not beat to this morning other critics are saying that all of the government that and the fact you were. going to look at which actually came out today and that's i mean at the same time

we actually saw the bully be the. be all and i think massive election in the state where all. basically grew up and we all thought the government allowing large to just keep the flame of the case is one of the things like. so what is the government saying about these accusations now well it's not what the government has not directly responded to these but as the critics say that the critics and the opposition that the government has actually not been just want to many people aren't questions that are being briefed and saying the unluckiest what you have now begun to see is a disappointing political debate it's all to say that the government has been dismissive and defensive and beats you with these documents and it's ok now if the prime minister narendra modi suffered a defeat in a key state election on sunday would you say that this is a sign of people's anger about the way that his government's been handling the

pandemic. well grasping oil is the key to that as we. get to the defeat in that state now the full analysis is still not out but at the moment what we can see is that the last. word in this has less to do with how the body. out and situation. but that the 2nd debate and the. ones that actually started happening. so the fact of what can be said that this has more to do with the fact that the incumbent. party in this actually had a much strong record on the local population and also the many can't beat strategy did not. but what can be surely said is that this defeat is actually a huge thing that the national do you read at a time when it's actually facing a lot of criticism. especially the 2nd. all right

a huge setback to correspondent minera chaldee chattery in demi thanks so much. israel is holding a day of national mourning for the victims of a stampede at a jewish pilgrimage site that children funerals are also being held this weekend for the 45 people killed during the festival at mount meron at least 10 children and teenagers are among the dead. flags are lowered at half mast in jerusalem. a tribute to those who died in one of israel's worst case time disasters. funerals resume saturday after the end of sabbath the jewish day of rest. was. late night burials were held for a 12 year old boy and an 18 year old man. all.

a very special clientele in japan however the concept has really taken off even special stores here where you can have completely new experiences with losses is there perhaps more to the idea after all i took a look at one of these stores in tokyo. packing a bar in tokyo district as a. computer games alex and the pornography the company soft on demand and operate 70 special b r 6 stores in japan it's one of the largest producers of pornography films in asia . here you can see employees faces to keep things discreet i asked to book a warm power of the hour package it costs almost 1000 yen about 8 year old all garage to open the city's van used like this. can be rented for up to 3 hours there are 3 different options reclining chair reclining mat. i chose reclining mat.

my booth was on the 2nd floor time one we did $93.00 tall and felt pretty close to fall big on the way out. in the booth i found the our glasses handkerchiefs the telephone slippers and countless options it was a little bit confusing to be honest. the lot of people you don't know that either because 50 percent of people come here so they have a special service well that i would call for help. the stop help me set up and stop of ya feel the films i shot from a subjective camera angle so depending on where the u.s. seated are lying down you will be watching a different film with a corresponding setting. you can see your own virtual body so this video here wouldn't have made much sense if i had been sitting upright.

the sex industry would not be going to those technological length if we didn't expect to profit illegal porn streaming and private providers have resulted in considerable losses in recent years gamble only time will tell whether the op one really does offer a way out of the crisis more and more videos are becoming available online but what's the attraction. mortal in tokyo is one of japan's leading produces obvious. when you watch a p.r. on a t.v. or a p.c. screen it's usually from a bird's eye view of the real v.a.r. emphasizes the experience much more. of a. customer feels as if he could really touch the girl that he has real eye contact or that he can feel her breath next to his ear. so it's a completely different view or perspective to a standard movie that. i found the unusual perspective unsettling.

first impression it's really very detailed a little bit. to what's to be honest because the woman in that clip i just saw she appears she. distortion is linked to the distance between our bugles which is different for every person images i said to a standard this if this doesn't correspond to the eyes of the person wearing the glasses the proportions will be distorted. the filmmakers of soft on him on produce that he obviously knows in this studio everything here is why. this ensures that the background isn't distracting and allows the producers to better direct of us focus. the strength of b.r. is that it enables different forms of interaction was taken the could allows you to get to a place you couldn't get to before so into action is the magic word this combination

of technology and emotion is something that can be found most of all in japan according to not least the high the british author and podcast the focus is on ethical issues related to digital technologies. amazing innovation and. if you think. a lot of people in a lot of places are very expressive of that affection for technology and you may end up going in a great relationship with ok i kind of love my smartphone too but that's as far as it goes somebody observations already enable you to build your dream partner does that really create deeper connections. being able to configure a virtual partner like in a computer game and having custom made avatars thanks to computer generated images this is a future v.a.r. producer yasha moto finds promising. will be possible to design

in order to look more like that's the reality counts. models real people trying to look more like virtual of a tot's sounds pretty dubious to me but they are already reports about people having plastic surgery for that reason cutting edge technology and the sex industry seem a good match for not review has long been a driver for technological advancements by the passion boss the author of the erotic engine is certain that without tomography the internet would not have grown so quickly not convinced well yes some examples online payment systems without paypal onsides payment would be a simple and secure as it is today online streaming without with streaming software developed for pornography size media platforms would struggle to deliver news clips online advertising without advertising from sec size many free internet services wouldn't exist and now we are even in the development of sex toys experiments are
