if you thought that santa claus or good old st neck were the only ones who deliver presents a christmas time, then you better think again. we'll find out whose job it is around europe in today's show. hello and welcome to another edition of your own max with me, your host, megan lee, air, the look at what else is coming up? how italian newbert became famous all over the world. and a behind the scenes look at the production of champagne, the king of sparkling wine when i was a kid. this was the most exciting time of the year because i would wake up on christmas day and rush in to see what santa had brought for me. well, here in germany, there are different characters assigned to deliver presents to kids during the holidays. now it all depends on where you live and as we're about to find out,

it's not always santa and his team of helpers who bring in the gifts. oh, the joys of christmas time. duramax reporter holly rollinson is in the christmas spirit. she can't wait to get her presence. when i 1st moved from the united states to germany, i was surprised to hear that it's not just santa claus who brings the gifts at christmas. it's also something called the christian. and in the rest of europe, sometimes there's a witch, or trolls or other little creature got it. i bring the children christmas gifts on the 24th of december of christmas eve. me to i put them under the christmas tree. so do i? well, it's a bit complicated in the north and east of germany. santa claus brings the presence in south and west germany. it's usually the christian

they both bring present to the children on december 24th. and they both agree that the presence belong under the christmas tree. okay, so why are there 2 of you then? we need to go back to the birth of christ and the 3 wise men who started the whole business of gift giving. later it was saint nicholas who brought gifts on december 6th with his red cloak, the historical bishop saint nicholas is said to have inspired santa clauses, red outfit. but then came martin luther, who brought about the division of the church into catholics and protestants. he also invented the christians, who then came on december 24th for protestants. saint, like nicholas were no longer in demand, but for catholics they were still important. but since saint nicholas was increasingly turning into a commercial santa claus and even nonbelievers started believing in him, the catholics adopted the crist kent, which looks like an angel complete with wings and to top it off

a halo. but now it was high time for the protestants to distance themselves from the catholics again. so they again believed. and santa claus got it. okay, so 1st they nicholas brought the gifts, but after the reformation, the protestants no longer wanted to be associated with the catholic st. but on the other hand, the catholics didn't like the santa class, was for everyone. and in the end decided to take the crist. kenwood is actually from the protestant originally. okay, got it. most families can settle on santa claus. but the tradition of celebrating christmas with your family only came about at the start of the 19th century. to day santa claus is known almost everywhere. he's called pear, noel and france. bobo, natalie in italy. papa noel in spain sent to class in the netherlands. and so on in finland, he's known as your local key. rumor has it that santa lives here to visit him. you

have to head for lap length and the arctic circle. oh, as you can see, i bring all the children in the world, christmas gift, except to have to be careful in italy because there's a witch ah, blue in italy, a which called the fauna is known to bring joy to children. because here it's the which that comes bearing gifts, but on january 6th, not on december 24th. mm. according to the legend the which the funny actually wanted to go with the 3 wise men to visit the baby jesus. but when he wasn't able to go it, she instead decided to bring all the little children gifts and january thick in the spanish region of catalonia. a log called to another, brings the presence, complete with a hat covered by a blanket. g u,

not all is bed by the families during the advent season. on christmas eve, he is then beaten with a stick to release the presence with other creatures, rome europe's far north. in iceland, 13 trains leave their home in the mountains to visit people. each of these so called you las vein us has a different character every day, from december, 12 onward, one of them joined the others until they are complete by christmas eve, when they bring presence one by one, they leave again until they have all returned to the mountains by january 6. ah, so as you can see, the gift giving situation. europe is complicated, but it's also really funny and interesting. but you know what as long as someone's bringing the gift, i'm happy so merry christmas and have

a great holidays. ah, ah. while the holidays are, of course, a time for feasting, especially on suites and nuts and tasty way to combine the 2 is with new goods which varies from country to country. for example, in france, newbert is white and chewy made with amens, but in italy. newkirk consists of hazel nuts and cocoa beans, giving it a chocolate, the texture. we had now to the piedmont region where hazelnut grow in abundance, and we find out how this delicious treat is best. enjoyed hazel nuts and cocoa beans combine. to make a succulent sweet and chewy confection. new get. it's

much sought after by people with a sweet tooth and not just in winter. ill go stalk a new good taste. good at breakfast lattice bread on bread in the morning, or when a half hour after lunch and so don't poke a fare with dinner, alice and later in front of the tv or delivery. sorry. this culinary tweet is at home here in torrance, northwestern italy. it offers a broader selection of the chocolate delight than anywhere else on earth. a master of the art of turin. newgate is confectioners guido robina. he has won prizes for the world's best pray, liens that not satellites. you've got to may. first and foremost, it's because of our local hazel nuts that we achieve this very special taste. it cannot be imitated anywhere else in the world, mando enemy, tabitha. but before the hazel months become the perfect new get,

they 1st have to be roasted and ground to a fine nutty consistency. this is then mixed with roasted and finely ground cocoa beans. the mixture is easy to shape while it's still warm. we saw a moment now this is the hardest and most critical momentum, horrible thought. and i did better. we have to hold the chocolate down from 49 to about 26 degrees celsius. and you say last appearance of a lead that's on a you have to have a very fine touch clarity, guanasha law and know exactly when the right moment has come. better to put this perfectly tempered paste into this machine, which shapes the pride name. deborah deborah, nor alyssa was your name for the more nuts it contains, the better the new get all the confection in torrent based their recipes on this principle. but necessity was the mother of invention of new get in the early 19th

century, turned was already a centre of chocolate production. but high tariffs imposed under napoleon drove up the prices for cocoa beans and pushed one inventive confectionary to stretch his cocoa by mixing in local hazelnut. i maybe as the director a, i assume that his wife had the idea and said busty try using not the wiper over my that it's always the women get the cleverest idea. notice pulled up, you know, and as you turned out only on a new taste was created to david, who that was now known the world over houston as john do yeah. or go knew given mando co, my ghost agenda we're new get can be found all over toryn at giordano, they still shaped the little chocolate jung loyalty by hand that got their bout about the emiliano has been famed for its new interpretations for over 150 years that gothic moreno serves the new get moose. new get ice cream is found in every variety on a stick at that beano. in

but even more so through my family, i mean, i'm from this region and had been interested in it since i was a child to bridge law his georgia, the region of champ anya was the 1st to obtain a controlled designation of origin certification in the 19 thirty's or tory. you can make sparkling wine from any variety attic but to be called champagne if it has to come from this soil and boast of the quality of our vines and grapes. it. i never know when harvesting the grapes, we picked them by hand and bring them to the wine press law. that's where the champagne production process start. does have we guess who shall buy the sun that we're standing at a wine breast. my father had built in 1967. it's a traditional line press. the one challenging thing is that you need to have strong men to fill it. we have 4000 kilograms of grapes in it at the moment on a press. but christ, the great then love a jew said to this,

then we add some yeast and sugar. then we let the wine rest for 2 to 3 months of that gives us a bass, wind like this. one of them must come to see if he sees the de, it's hard to pinpoint a single inventor of champagne. don't fit in your own pony old and wasn't in ologist who was extremely good at working with while i get it. and he perfected the art of awesome blash. so blue that refers to the blending of bass winds from different vineyards and grapes in order to create a cafe with a balanced taste. it any cable. let me go when we feel the bottles to create the foam. for this purpose we take a bit of yeast and t raj. the cour t hodge. decor is just a base wine into which we've dissolved beat sugar get on the face a full. the mixture is it's yield in the bottle and we'll take it down to the seller and lay it on board. they all gather. they want to so let a thought in the eating bacteria then eat the sugar we've added to the te harshly,

core, creating carbon dioxide and alcohol code again on the alpha, missouri about 25 meters below ground. we're standing by walls of solid limestone. that's a huge the 8th, the sugar producing carbon dioxide. we store the bottles for 2 to 3 years. the scene on, on to at was on. once the bottles had aged enough, we put them on these racks and turn them one by one. me that the day so, so it takes about 6 weeks, you keep turning the bottles until they reach the final position. you see here you we after not one. okay. so he knows what a press, they're almost vertical. i don't after the turning process, we stand the bottles upright like here this way, the yeast in the bottles, neck barely comes into contact with the wine and doesn't impact the aging process. sort of use. it's the traditional method, but it's hardly ever used anymore. you can store the bottles for 1015 or 20 years if you want gas. it's no problem. and you open a bottle,

you'll never be disappointed in the semi dish. won't rule the lowest if a my name's stefan rossi long. no, i've been working at les avi say hotel restaurants and champ anya, in the heart of the coach blown for 10 years. now. the bill i cook using champagne, please, and i'm a great connoisseur of the bubbling until the booth only when we did the show and opened a bottle of champagne. very cautiously then we removed the music les fuller than we grasped the cork with one hand and turn it on carefully without making an explosion . there hor allowed bang it should only fizzle full. we cautiously let out the biz, anne voliswan lawyers, the gift mo, who are not the most important of all, is that whatever you drink makes you happy. don't listen. if a neighbor or a somalia starts telling you all about a fantastic wine or a roma, this is about what you enjoy your personal taste and about every person responds differently. and that's very important. ah,

a brutal regime in which the white minority oppressed the black majority. at the time, desmond tutu worked as a teacher, but he soon joined the anglican church and became a priest preaching against the oppression of south african blacks. he called for peaceful resistance and soon became one of the most important spokesmen of the anti apartheid movement in you can start from becoming free. you're going to be young, peggy ah, the child and he came to destroy the $130.00 dad. he's a bank outside of south africa to, to received great recognition for his courage. in 1084, he won the nobel peace prize. ah, to, to was a thorn in the side of the countries apartheid government. but his prominence also shielded him. in 1985,

the anglican church elected him bishop of johannesburg. and later archbishop of cape town. after the end of apartheid, came a further step towards politics. under south africa's 1st black president, nelson mandela asked his friend to lead a truth and reconciliation committee for months to to listen to the confessions of perpetrators and to victims accounts often becoming overwhelmed by them. later mandela thanked him, saying to 2 had protected south africa from hatred and revenge away your carbon her dar paper under long walk to freedom, help her foster smart for life and human rights irrespective of carlo religion and are all after his term as archbishop to to traveled the world using his prominence to campaign for human rights and climate protection,

and joining us from johannesburg, south africa as the w corresponded to. so kamala, so to, so desmond too, too, of course, was an incredibly iconic figure in the anti apartheid movement. what does his death mean to south africans to day? is that is definitely a great loss to south africans. this is a men was not afraid to speak truth to power even to the ruling african national congress. government led by sir m. r pasa, he has been calling them out several times if they do not a ruin or gavin, when or make bread decisions. this is also a men who was fighting very hard for the poor people in south africa, wanting to make sure the corner me benefits. everyone, in fact, did the switches that we have head from different corners in south africa,

tells us what kind of a men that he is president. so i'm a pasa describing him as the men from an outstanding generation. why list the nelson mandela foundation has despite him as an extra or not human being, meaning that he's, that person was verified with the in south africa. let us just listen to how are that, whatnot. south africans are describing desmond tutu. he was the legend. he is, he was huge in the struggle. he contributed a lot to the struggle. you know? so i to diverge, said whatever's said right, we have lost a great icon, a father, a human who was day, not just full, that they african pete, this african people. but for africa as, as, as the, as a nation, africa, as a unit, africa, as one. well, we also know, of course, that tributes have been coming in around the world to. so what have been the

international reactions to desmond to, to death is now clear that does one to 2 ties to quite a number of lives across the globe. my condolences have been pouring in from different corners of this world from former president of the cotton for hasn't been government officials and a non government done up on his issues and check what do all of them shouting praises for the wake that you did in liberating south africa and other places in the world. you have it a lot of also encouraging at comments or reaction that coming from the vatican. the vatican despite me, is a man who was committed in promoting risha equality and also to cause leash in which he brought in south africa when was cheering the pool and dad justice commission. let us hear how some of the good at lou does across the world have described him. he was just a wonderful, wonderful man, and we can only celebrate his life is long, generous, open life. he had

a capacity to touch people and we will remember him because of that generosity, that empathy that love. and he spoke about love all the time. archbishop desmond tutu was a mentor, a friend, and a moral compass for me. and so many others, a universal spirit archbishop, to, to was grounded in the struggle for liberation and justice in his own country. but also concerned with injustice everywhere. so clearly doesn't to, to touch so many people and he will be never forgotten around the world. at his kamala did have a correspondent in johannesburg. thank you so much for your reporting. well, the consequences of climate change are being felt in a growing number of regions in africa. the lack of rain there has led to extreme drought in many areas. eastern kenya is one of the hardest hit regions. now people

today's topic onset, ah, the cybernetic organism, or cyber for short, has played a major role in pop culture. for example, in the movie robo cup, a police officer with potentially fatal injuries becomes a supercop with his high tech implant. tony star from the marvel universe can fly in his armor and superman's colleagues, cyber updates his hardware to get new powers and skills these days, even real up humans, enhanced their bodies with artificial components. they call themselves cyborgs or bio hackers. hob isn't from britain. is one of them. he's colorblind and has an antenna that converts carlos into sounds. and i like the human eye, his intent, i can even detect infrared and violet. he has a chip implanted in his head to make this work. pretty intense. but actually, there are lots of scientists and companies working on brain computer interfaces.

they allow direct communication between brain and computer. so you can control device with your mind. and it's not just a gimmick. it can fundamentally improve the lives of people of spinal injuries on your logical disorders. u. s. tech tight and eli mosque is developing a brain computer interface at his startup neurologic the team implanted ships in both brain hemispheres of a mac cock pager. they then taught him to play a game with a joystick, and it's not signals, but transmitted to a computer by a bluetooth pager was fed bananas movie through a tube as a reward. when the research as the activated the joystick page controlled the game with his pause alone, the computer had learned to interpret the brain activity. but there are devices that humans can control the mind even without brain chip like by owning prosthesis that's replaced missing body parts. but as game daniel melville even uses one when he plays video games. but procedures can also give people have brand new powers.

how would you like a 3rd thump? ah, this prosthetic thumb makes it possible to do things that usually require 2 hands. the prosthesis is connected to a wristband with a motor, which drives the thumb receive signals via bluetooth from pressure sensors attached to the shoes. the user can control the prosthesis by moving their big toe ah, zealand borne scientists, danny clo, developed a 3rd film in london. she wanted to show that prosthetic don't always have to replace what's missing. they can also provide an ad on an upgrade. ah, what's fascinating is after just 5 days of training with the 3rd thump he was sinuses had formed in the test subjects brains. and the way they used their normal fingers had changed. there are other developments like this that blur the line

between human and machine. sometimes on the skin, sometimes under the skin, it might look like a temporary tattoo, but this is actually a communication interface made from gold leaf do oh skin was invented by the massachusetts institute of technology. one version works like a touchpad, while another uses near a field communication for nf c technology to communicate with other interfaces. in the future when you walk into a tattoo holler, you would come out with a tattoo like this. they will not only be very sophisticated technically, but they will become an extension of yourself. often forget your keys. eric frisky can open his door in sweden with a micro chip implanted under his skin. if the size of a grain of rice and works like a room card in a hotel, it's estimated that 50 some people around the world already where one of these

implants, they can even be ordered online. the interesting thing is when the chips start getting smarter and start having, you know, sensors and things like that. so instead of just opening a door, maybe i can have continuously record my, my body temperature, my blood sugar levels in are, et cetera, et cetera. and, and actually give me useful information about my body. but technology that literally gets under your skin isn't for every one. implants are just one way to become a sidewalk. now, also, robotic suits, called exoskeletons. they promised more strength and better agility, heavy lifting uncomfortable work exoskeletons could some day help people reduce the strain on their backs. originally developed for medical and military use, they're now increasingly deployed in the automotive industry and logistics. many

see it as when, when employee stay healthier and companies profit from the increased efficiency and production robotic technology that makes work more economic is under intensive development, predominantly in the u. s. in germany, but also in china and japan, lou mcclain, one of our article on a store, asking arianna, we want to create devices that help people in their workplace the for that and to make these tools more accessible and easy to use from wells fargo. i don't think humans will ever become dispensable. there are, there are only a few companies that are designing completely automated systems because they require, consider it investment odyssey. so i think will always have human workers saw with him on a particular domain. the exoskeleton created by japanese company at own has been in used for years in production, the care sector,

and in japan's biggest airports with the 4 and a half kilogram suit is worn like a rucksack and it has a sensor that detects the where's movements. so when lifting 2 motors in the suit automatically support the users movement, the motors deactivate when the user is walking with countries like japan are increasingly relying on robotics because with an aging population, workforces are becoming depleted off right now we mainly make support devices. but in the future, we want to create products that enhance people's abilities and ad physical functions like a 3rd arm see we want to cater to a society in which people of all ages can work without physical limits. and it could get much more spectacular than that. the developers that are to own have been working for more than 10 years on this mega expo suit called neo, i was even allowed to try it out. during my visit to japan,

i felt like lieutenant ripley and the sy fi classic alias with supernatural powers . the developers claim that one, i'm alone can lift up to 50 kilograms. it's hope that neil will soon a of the construction industry or in disaster management exoskeletons have a growing role in the medical sick. those, well, what special about this model from japan is that is controlled by nerve impulses. how is its name that stands for hybrid assistive lip as an ultimate goal? even paraplegics could trend with how and learn to walk again. my colleague, cassandra ball went to test the exoskeleton at the company's high by dine in japan . so these electrodes here will detect my brain signals and send it to this machine so that it will move before me. so now i'm going to try to flex and move my arm through the text pretty

well. and now i'm going to try to lock my arm in place, and it will still move for me. with you. that was pretty cool. but i do wonder um, does this kind of is this safe does is go out of control. sometimes no awesome electrodes translate cassandra's brain signal into a command for the exoskeleton. her brain sends the command move to the muscles via the spine. the signal is detected by house built in sensors. the motor receives the signal and power starts moving. this is more difficult for patients with paraplegia because the nerve connections are disrupted. but if there are any remaining impulses, how could provide beneficial treatment time for

a little test walk? cassandra is allowed to wear the exoskeleton herself. it's attached to a bracket, since it's designed for people with impaired mobility. it's a very intimate um setting is actually really late. starting training right now. okay. i feel a little bit mechanic with my movement. but i think it is just getting used to the machine, cuz now i feel a little more comfortable in it. so now he's increasing the speed the monitor displays cassandra and her nerve signals as a waveform. how works together with other ai systems to analyze the signals and evaluate user data. so, how do paralyzed people actually learn to walk again with health? the activation of muscle impulses creates

a feedback effect that enables the brain to learn how to make the body walk again from scratch. it's called neural feedback training. it only works for about 20 to 30 percent of paraplegic patient, but the results are still impressive. so with other exoskeletons, the movements are pre programmed, so patients wearing the suits will have to rely on it permanently. however, with hell, it teaches you how to walk again, basically making the connections from your brain to your broken synopsis. so basically these patients, they go through the, these trainings and at the end of the training, they're able to walk again without the technology without the suit. how was developed by japanese robot assist yoshi, yuki anti keys the founder and see all cyber dine and a professor at the university of to cuba. she believes these by jani gays and cyber technologies are a step into

a new age technology. so mean it's good either because we're constantly wearing technology or strongly connected to it in that sense. we're born cyborgs. don't you think that take little detail when all the unity as technology becomes more accessible will be able to use it without even being aware of that the, this phenomenon is diffusion of humans and technology. and this symbiotic relationship will continue to develop. are we all becoming cyborgs or are we already? and if the technology becomes available soon, won't people get left behind who don't want to be enhanced or who can't afford it? what are your views on cyber technology? is this the chance for us all to upgrade or are you skeptical? let us know. for example, on youtube there, you'll also find more videos about ellen mosques, newly project, and the paralyzed man who controls an excess get him with his mind. take care, bye. ah,

ah ah right, right. as a formula, one world champion, and in his 2nd career as an entrepreneur, nichols, dad always operates at top speed. his mission to start climate change and with sustainable technology and a lot of passion, he's accelerating full throttle in future. read. next on d w. and to try to only old men from the far noise on christmas eve, keeping present to children all in the world. really

a closer look at his life. just a different story. this is the true story of, ah, in 5 minutes on d, w. global ideas is on its way to bring you more conservation. how do we make cities greener? how can we protect habitats? we can make a difference. global ideas, the environmental series in global 3000 on dw and online bills, well doesn't execute, lloyd, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, all day long. and in f one if you do, blah, blah, you are your god. you will not, when you need to be disgust, decide, execute, go next one.
