london's national theater it's a classic example of brutal ism a no frills architectural style popular in the 1960 s. and seventy's often hold bleak and institutional many such buildings are at risk of demolition including this form of the butchery in berlin now thousands of people have signed a petition to rescue it from the bulldoze as the part of a growing movement to preserve the city's architectural history. the architecture style known as brutal ism can be described as monumental colorless and inhuman. edifices tend to polarize to some their eyesores while others a growing number of architecture aficionados the world over are rediscovering pirtle is a. brutalist most of us i find burchill isn't so fascinating because it's so antagonistic and controversial on the one hand the buildings are written off as
4:08 am
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 the whole architectural cosmos opens up if. you take tanisha cos most. of this is 17 story apartment block in berlin was designed in 1957. by french swiss architect . the man who coined the term brutal is an architect or historian and photographer felix talker sees that as one of the city's principal examples of the style. the building with its 530 apartments has been called a machine for a living. nicole museum was unable to carry out his plans for the interior but this one apartment was later remodeled to reproduce the architect original idea it's based on his color theories the color breezy granted color the same importance

4:10 am
a 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 . all the while new concrete buildings are going up in the neo brutalist style this berlin apartment building called the. lobo block has already won several awards. it's unfinished look was meant not only to be stylish but to reduce construction costs and to keep rents down. more than 6 decades after it hit the scene brutalist architecture still polarizes and fascinates people today.

4:12 am
perfect picture. in comparison human beings are the easiest subject. either i don't want this type of the talk moving dog and the owner and i love or it's really exciting and sometimes the similarity between dogs and their owners is quite amazing when you see the next 2 weeks after. the similarity in the cliche that only resembled a dog so why is a bird or bird but i haven't really seen that. it was the corona pandemic that gave his latest person dog project a big. i think maybe i wasn't getting many of the targeted jobs i mean what's the time to go in for a walk that's when i had a closer look at the dogs and owners i ran into the whole. he's already photographed according paris. has already applied this is that x.

4:16 am
recent years a niche activity has been developing in the leisure industry play a far cry from luxury all included package holidays extreme tourism has dried up good luck a no win tornado hunters play adventurers in crisis areas and extreme athletes have all sought the ultimate adrenaline kick in some of the most dangerous places in the world play we are little masochistic we want to take a hit to the edge play more tourism nuclear tourism disaster tourism the thrill can become addictive clegg. 160 kilometers east of jakarta the volcanic eruption of krakatoa is in full flow. and the group has already traversed the forest at any moment they could be hit by
4:17 am
lava rocks. were able to get the really strong can split into 2 parts really get the owners and the impact left quite the crater. tail the other today they've just landed. he says to these rocks can weigh 2 to 3 times. $2.00 to $3.00 tons hurdling through the air at over 200 kilometers per hour some of them have landed just a few meters away from the group. talked. 20000000 . 000 lansdowne that it is at the moment we can still go higher yeah well i think if the eruptions become stronger the rocks closer we'll have to remember. everyone is in agreement nobody wants to turn back. to. this in fact i am all
4:18 am
jittery. in the way this is really a crazy thing to do. you want afraid it isn't you that i know a little bit but with key i feel safe he knows when to stop and. the rich here is only a few meters from the crater. about 30 meters away at the lava hits you know it's over with. yeah maybe. this crackling sound as the lava rock hitting the ground just meters away from the group but the group remains calm if. it will be a really bad luck if a boulder were to land here of all places. seconds
4:19 am
later a new eruption begins. a shower of stones falls near the group sophie just manages to jump aside. the rock shoot out of the crater over 600 degrees celsius but they cool down quickly. so if you want to the piece they're just mr. gilbert a souvenir from me that was so close. to the. you know that as everybody here sophie yes i'm here you know i felt the shock wave is it true that they when the white hot rocks landed next to me i thought. fortunately it's not my time just plant. he isn't turning back just yet.
4:20 am
but we're very close for another eruption and then go back. you know why we still waiting for the next one. does everyone actually want to wait oh yes. ok nothing ventured nothing gained. high on adrenaline the group opts to stay just a bit longer. one last one. here it comes. the next shower a fiery lava rocks pours down. the ball but you're right. the group is surrounded by glowing rocks. the priest is camera almost took
4:21 am
a direct hit. in this johnny. and i just have to live i must admit i was scared i'm only going i'm going to do with laughing now but tomorrow we'll probably realize how close a cool that was like i said but if it's a slow go. i've been. getting so close just getting quite dangerous. that's enough for the adventures today. to crack a joke i was grand slam on some butter crackers. thank you. and. the agency requires customers to have special insurance for one of these expeditions only regular customers who are aware of the risks are allowed on the trip. extreme tourists are on the lookout for scary situations so what better than to travel to
4:22 am
a war zone. kabul the capital of afghanistan one of the most dangerous cities in the world. the taliban regularly carry out assassinations as they try to regain power. and 2018 nearly 4000 civilians died in afghanistan. the targets are afghan institutions and diplomatic missions especially western ones . taking a vacation here borders on insanity. 52 year old ellen loves taking risks. the american has already attempted to conquer mount everest 3 times. a few hours before departure to kabul she sends a video this is the 1st time i got k.-r. insurance which stands for kidnap and ransom insurance so i've learned that i am now worth a $1000000.00 a colleague who knows i'm going on this trip and he said oh and you should be more
4:23 am
worried about this. at the airport ellen is picked up by an agency specializing in war tourism. i think i'd be lying if i said. this is probably the 1st one where really. actually. charging $2600.00 for 10 days the organizer provides transportation and accommodation. with the hotel is behind an inconsiderate us but armored door. no sign no advertising. just barbed wire and guard dogs. ellen's travel group also includes william from new york and 22 year old from norway. the 2 men have already had their 1st scare. with this stuff but it really does feel real a you just got nervous when the military stuff like does he like raising his
4:24 am
voice and getting more and more and i agree. i don't know what's going to happen. while welcoming the guests there guide karzai who signing gives his clients a warning. the minute probability is true is this was later if you know this is this you don't know if you should really be your pressing the button of the bomb so the business people of this would be a way stay in the. mainstream like i provided it was so going to leave you to go forward of us route and in the interest. cause are as provided local clothing for the tourists. that are fun we fund or know that if it's. dressed for adventure the group is ready to tour a couple. a city destroyed by constant war.
4:25 am
for. the afghan conflict has been raging since 1988 with the taliban seizing power in the 1980 s. from the soviet union. since their subsequent defeat by the us they've continued to fight for power. decades of struggle have left their mark everywhere. this is the sort of the film assumes we have the numerous feuding people. going there i can tell not in front of the camera. because this political things will help but. even though the american military is stationed here the i.s.i. qaeda still present a threat to the travelers. coming going particular is quite nervous about the looks the locals are giving. this
4:26 am
they're after you so much and they didn't look happy when you see. it's mostly angry stares you find. so much. you don't feel like you belong here that's for sure i don't want us there for too long. ellen on the other hand doesn't feel threatened and wanders away from the group. what do you. think you. guys. are travelling companions are becoming impatient i don't want you to learn to you have to go through ok i'm sorry thank you very proud of her thank you. very much. despite the poverty there are children's balloons and carousels ellen is thrilled.
4:27 am
to have this. right it is already. a yard. of. an express tour through a city scarred by poverty. at dawn the tour group leaves couple. next destination the mountains nearby me. since 2011 in any will ski race has been held there and the extreme tourists want in on the action. of the capital of ukraine. the
4:28 am
whole mall and davide are in their early twenties their passion urbanites urban exploration exploring cities and abandon places away from the typical tourist sites . or the to students wait in their hotel until it gets dark. at midnight they set off. i think we have everything. we started out way too much. to celebrate having passed their exams they're not heading to the beach or contemplating clubbing their destination is more radioactive the forbidden zone of turn all the side of the worst nuclear disaster accident in history. on april 26th 1906 unit 4 of the power plant exploded releasing a huge radioactive cloud all over europe. over 9000 people died and 200000 people had to be evacuated. the area is still dangerous and as
4:29 am
a military exclusion zone. the 2 frenchmen set out at night to avoid police checks. this is. the man in the military outfit is their tour guide igor who leads tourists into the forbidden zone for 300 euros. the area is a 2 hour drive north of here a journey into the unknown. 0 i'm getting nervous i'm excited we'll see. you. under the light of the full moon they make good progress. over the group. of the military exclusion zone has
4:30 am
a radius of 30 kilometers. but all more and aviv have a problem. us. just. say yes scott. i speak snow french and only a little english which makes communication complicated. finally they march through the darkness. cut we're in survival mode we're not thinking about eating hooting drinking water or being tired. after 3 hours of walking the sun rises from here on out in the group could be discovered at any time and arrested by a police patrol on. the way.
4:31 am
if that happens they'll be fine and have to leave ukraine immediately. cautiously walked all night it's gone now and we're trying to be quiet and there are some dogs somewhere in the distance. communication with the ego it does not get easier this is this is. this can you share this and use their weapons or what did he say i don't know if she book thank you. in the middle of the forest they find true. he says of the soviet era hastily abandoned houses. and nothing has changed here for 33 years and. breaking into the restricted zone is risky but for these 2 friends that's the fun of urban exploration 6 yet this is illegal but it's better it wouldn't be
4:32 am
chernobyl otherwise you have to light taking rests on noise the police almost cultus a couple of times we're lucky. more it's like being in a deserted disneyland for the front on this little newsy the sun. the other risk here is an invisible one. radioactivity. the trees here will be contaminated for at least the next 20000 years. contrary to all expectations many animals have reclaimed the exclusion zone over the last 34 years which has become a refuge for biodiversity. they set up a camp at 8 in the morning. calm all measures the radiation with a geiger counter. was also here a point 273 times higher than with parents often prescribing or residuals 3 times more chance of getting cancer. call mondavi planned to spend the next 3 days in the trouble forest.
4:33 am
meanwhile back in indonesia things are a little calmer on krakatoa. the adventurers emerge after the dangerous night. today the group isn't feeling quite so radical. normally the crater should not be approached during the day as it's difficult to see the glowing boulders in daylight but one person is less prudent. on time a young russian covered in ash beams with excitement he almost climbed to the top of the volcano. stones are flying everywhere i think you're right if. make spirit that was an amazing experience i love adrenaline stuff like that this was my 1st time on a volcano gonna. be careful. there live all those hours but they're like. a. 100 times nonchalance shocks the french adventures in the group.
4:34 am
because i think the video will end up on youtube or something. maybe he wants to take pictures to post them online it's just about views on you tube until something goes wrong. unlike the russian there waiting for the light to fade. well until their impatience takes over before nightfall the group has already crossed the forest a careful from here on as soon as eruption starts stand still and be aware. but this time the mood is different. when it's not safe you guys. the 1st adventurers remain behind. so i'm not going up there i'm not feeling it i don't trust it at all it's way more
4:35 am
active than yesterday. half of the group decides to hot for 15 we're separating i don't trust it else again then he's going to yesterday we had a lot of fun and we were lucky but i prefer to remain here where it's safer he put his feet. he had promised not to go to the ridge again. but the tour guide is of the same spot as the day before. he has been on volcanoes for 58 years and several times with experience burnt feet from molten lava and barely escaped death. everyone is relieved when he returns to her room and back. and that we forgive you this time. and they get lots of emotions of flowing here so she's it's quite nice. through this for you i explained to you this morning that there is a certain risk there on the. donkey you're right to stay here oh the why did i go
4:36 am
on. but i don't. see it's as if i'm on the view in such moments. i'm grabbing something from life something powerful because it was there for. despite his 80 years passion for volcano is undiminished. to their views on more than one friends of mine have died in volcanic eruptions it is dying here is very realistic in asia. but i'd rather die like there is than slowly wasting away in a hospital or. relabel volcanoes give me some much happiness and so much joy. if one day they ask for something in return while there's nothing wrong with that. most of the english family i didn't go today immediately i know my limits and you learn as you go along with all of. it because in doing what you have a child and
4:37 am
a wife at home that's. exactly and last night as i was falling asleep i thought of my daughter but. another scary day for the volcano adventurers but that is what they came here for. again because i had lots of energy from the volcano but i'm relaxed now. looking for a slightly traumatized one but it was so enjoyable and we want more if that up in mosul we are certainly a bit masochistic but we want it that way if. we want to scare ourselves well this . time i didn't include.
4:38 am
the adventurous plan to return again soon but crack a towable soon never be the same again. a natural disaster will change the region's geography forever. here to a disaster changed everything noble. but these days it's become a lucrative business. tour operators are permitted to offer bus tours with strict conditions you will get through a simple day tour costs about 100 euros. the tourists are allowed to stay in the disaster area for up to 3 days. we cannot even outside just outside you please us ability to. small somebody goes if they travel in a hotel with your belongings on the ground and don't feed it anywhere because you are seeing her continuing into the way that we will need to lay down. which are normal as one of the most popular tourist sites in the ukraine.
4:39 am
it's hard to say the numbers but now for example it's around 50600 peoples every weekday on weekends it's up 21001500 people a future. the tourist group wants to see the remains of a natural disaster for themselves. they're all aware of the scale of the tragedy. when mankind isn't. it would probably. be the houses were evacuated at night at the time residents thought they could return after a few days but most of them didn't survive. it's estimated that 9000 people died as a direct result of the disaster. a letter sir very significant place. was like everyone should at least once in their
4:40 am
lifetime with that channel. and the concentration camps and just the big human tragedies and here with the. all the destruction that man can do. what the risks are still there and measuring the radiation levels a popular activity. level is particularly dangerous. 89 feet to the limit for ukrainians i know there is you know when. it's needed we should not spend so much time. yet another way to get that adrenaline kick. like you terrifies. the forests are also contaminated to varying degrees. a few kilometers away the 2 frenchmen call and continue to battle on once. they've been going nonstop for 15
4:41 am
hours. as i shouldn't take off that stupid of me. but their journey is becoming more and more arduous. and we don't have any water like for 3 months we won't make it back without water. they're in the middle of the tour noble forbidden zone still kilometers away from their goal. back at krakatoa 3 weeks after a geese tour on december 22nd 2018 an extremely rare geological event took place. a powerful eruption led to the collapse of the volcano which triggered a tsunami more than $400.00 people died tens of thousands lost their homes and had to be evacuated. in the days that followed the eruptions continue
4:42 am
sending up huge clouds of ash into the sky. he is back at it right away he wants to see the collapsed volcano and at the airport he meets his regular customers. it's a little bit though i booked 2 boats and let them know where we are going a little bit over. the indonesian government has imposed an exclusion zone around the volcano with a 5 kilometer radius. the group doesn't know if they'll be able to reach their destination. ignoring the deteriorating weather they rush across the sea and whilst some start feeling queasy the crew have bad news. the little doesn't leak. and the engines broken down it will tail.
4:43 am
with the damage repaired the tourists are soaked but still in high spirits. after 5 hours they reach krakatoa which is now almost unrecognizable. to full. as yet the entire forest has disappeared. the volcano has shrunk. from 380 meters tall to 120 meters tall. a huge water filled craters formed. the beach and all the vegetation disappeared. altogether. i never thought i would see kakao like this. he is keen to get going as you will all be so excited. he wanted
4:44 am
to be the 1st on the still hot earth and they were all willing to ignore the restrictions to do so. and made it go. for it out. there the 1st people to walk on the new. volcano. it like the 1st steps on the moon could be and this is they always dreamed of something like this. after 56 years of traveling into active volcanoes really mayor says the 1st time i've seen anything like it is you have all the awful lessons you. although the eruption was only 5 days ago the tourists still want to climb the volcano. the newly formed terrain created by the cool lava flow is challenging and of course nobody knows the way.
4:45 am
at the summit he is deeply touched. you don't know how i feel. like the last time i made light of. the same thing that same happiness. i mean sure the problem is i look at this and i get such a feeling inside of me i feel it right down in my stomach before you go.
