he cannot show his designs in person at berlin fashion week. instead, he addresses the participants by a video message from cute. today's now's the time to talk about fresh by through fresh to day when odds show the new season today with the not showing you logs. because when you sit in a bomb shell or the gods, our basement. nobody cares about what you wear. junk reedsville is one of ukraine's most successful fashioned designers. his shows and creations are usually known for their distinct extravagant look. but in this collection, the messages are at the forefront. despite of ever since i've been to round to be strong and such feelings like love, kindness, you know, in the ban dense freedom light, i proposed to use as a defense in the next season. for a long time,

it was uncertain whether or not he would be able to showcase his latest designs and berlin. neither the designer nor his creations could leave ukraine. so john greets feld called on berliners to help some 30 volunteers got together to. so a new statement collection and the german capital greets filled coordinator the project by a video chat from ukraine and her gross, a berlin designer who contributed to putting together the collection says i was a totally new experience for her. was also a big challenge. dustin hoffman line for we needed his chanced it was absolutely insane. he trusted his blind late telling us that. yeah, yes, i can tell you i understand my collection. i trust jenn, i'll assume i can take small decisions on your own climate titles. a lot of hitting session, a time to make last minute changes and the 1st time the models of wearing the new

outfit. many of the models are proud to be involved as copied. i like really isn't developed an opinion on what's happening in ukraine at the moment. i, as i think it's great that we can express his through odd or convey our emotions through his fashion. it sends a powerful message method that might not been fueled. i might want fission fashion design. not you often have the feeling. wow. what pointless nonsense am i actually doing it? and then to realize that you can move something with has support someone and with joy in solidarity. quite even if it's only a small statement to do something that makes in boston, boston, that was definitely selling credibly enriching for me. and i was totally happy by the organizing designers of berlin fashion week are also showing solidarity with ukraine. several designers have donated creations for charity auctions. melons he to get out in the mouth and forfeit as anyone can imagine. and then come

running up to the event. they gave a lot of thought as to whether with to know what would want to take place during the current events in ukraine. how once that switch lawson, when you decided to use our opportunity to draw attention to the current situation and still give designers a chance to make a statement and innovation and put them in his, on an in the mood. that's a given statement up to him. backstage last minute preparations are underway for john greets, filled show the outfits already. afterwards they'll be sold with proceeds, donated to a ukrainian organization, and across as nervous making last minute tweaks to outfit it off and just had shown had be happy and that we can somehow these people and that we can get the message across as he intended method for vieza, if we can manage that and us up a happy and let his sleep as the happiest person, the mens i'm. the volunteers hard work has paid off. john green fields, creations take center stage. it's the berlin fashion, we closing show with

a huge symbolic character together we're strong and together we can overcome all the difficulties in a really believe that now we're like, built in the foundation of then you world and in, in, in, in our new worlds. ah, there won't be such sinks as war as a 10 year, as like greedy desire of bower, standing ovations for john greets build and his berlin helpers sending a strong message support in peace. ukraine. moving on to valencia as spain now were after a 2 year hiatus due to the corona virus. an annual celebration of spring is underway each year. large numbers of artist gather for last fi us or the festival of fire. here they have a chance to create an present giant sculptures that are burned at the end of the

festival. now these sculptures usually represent the current political climate, or other controversial issues. we met up with this year's featured artist for a behind the scenes look into the festivities. the annual le sigh as festival in valencia, spain. harolds the arrival of spring since 2016. it has been included on unesco list of intangible cultural heritage of humanity. thousands of people gather in the streets, the main attraction of appear, moshe figures some more than 20 meters high, called fire. i like a lot there fire festival because it's from valencia. i'm from valencia. i love history dark and this is also a street out of the another way that i used to bane. this is 3 d i and it's really cool. i am antonio. so we're dog. i'm a book for ali figurative and i'm doing the main file volunteer. every yet. an

artist is commissioned to create the main fire for the town full square. at the end of the festival, the fires are bent, but they still have to be sturdy. they're both made of wood, i'm carbonic, we'll use form to do like the 1st of culture. and then we use the cardboard on paper to cover it. and then we took all the form after that we built the wood from for inside the garbage. can i give the from my did i've a team of 20 people helps to wreck the figure. it take several days until the 23 meter high main fire is in place. i feel so happy regards be here in the main glass of valencia with one of my biggest pieces ever it so exciting. yeah, i can't wait to finish that war animals are the main motifs of talks works. his

fire has a clear message in my gave, i wanted to for them altogether. the anamosa used to appear in my works. united for a ghost with the same message, protect my term for they were the law. the versatile artist has been campaigning for the protection of nature with his works for years. his numerous murals on the sides of buildings all over the world show the beauty of the animal kingdom and with his sculptures and paintings. do repeatedly draws attention to the threat spacing, animal, and plant species. his art was have long been featured in museums and galleries. i started to know more about what's happening in there in the yellow wilderness within animals. and then it was when i started to sing about why not working on these unmake images to create when those to bring their people to the,

to the problem. and then think about it is now bringing his consent to the fires in a big way. and people are listening normally if i yes, ha, like on meaning this one hayes from their global warming there with they are there on the eyes. mounting the criticism and fun on not mutually exclusive. here. everything out of the biases are based just magic something we really like to feel every, every year. once a day duke has to take a short break from his work. because during the fire, there is a big fire cracker concert every day at 2 p. m. the so called muscular tom, the loud spectacle delights the crowds. ah, once the smoke is cleared, the artist can get back to where his finished fire will only remain standing for

a few days. yeah, if i yeah, i will be gone. it will be barnes bod. it is what it is on the millennia. people here knows that the fia is for being barn on a do. so i've been also with my murals when they are delayed. they disappear because of their, of their weather or whatever. one last chimera has does, however, remain every year after a vote. one of the many fast place throughout the city is saved from the fire. part of the sculpture finds its place in the finest museum and is thus preserved. france, of course, is known for products that appeal to the fine pallet, wine cheese, and if you weren't aware, black winter truffles, now, shavings from a black truffle, are often added to dishes, to give them a richer aroma, and taste. now these mushrooms grow seasonally in the south of france,

where ordinary people can take part in the search for them. but it's not an easy endeavour without a highly trained nose. as i have recently discovered on a visit to the region. this is not an ordinary walk for a dog. molly here is specially trained to find so called black diamonds in france. i ruin i megan lee from euro max and i'm here in monta, in po valls in southern france on the lookout for a french delicacy. black truffles and i have a 4 legged friend here to help me out with france is a leader when it comes to harvesting truffles. the climate and soil here make for ideal conditions without help from a well trained nose finding these delicacies would be difficult. alexis jo, mar, and his family have been specializing in troubles for 3 generations. it's very, very strong smell. good job,

molly. good. yeah. so alex is tell me how do truffles grow in the ground? i don't let him so a truffle is a mushroom that lives in symbiosis with a tree. without the presence of a tree, the trouble cannot develop. so this black travel costs around $35.00 euros. why is it so expensive? i don't see susie shelby confidence it because it doesn't sprout like white mushrooms buck truffle doesn't grow so easily in a field in a compost. there are several parameters for developing the truffle culture. children with those parameters include a soil that is rich in limestone, and at the same time, soft and moist. the truffles here develop at the base of oak trees. the weather plays an important role. truffles also need plenty of water, but even with the ideal conditions in place, there is no guarantee of finding a truffle. even the keenest of noses might have some difficulty.

there's nothing here. she ate the joyful, so i guess that was her treat for fighting and the trouble harvest can vary greatly from year to year, which also affects the price. currently, one key low or about 25 black truffles can fetch between 701000 euros. during the harvest season, the shamar family organizes groups to go truffle hunting. once gathered, the truffles are carefully washed and the impurities are removed. but how do you determine if the truffle is good and good and wait? a good trouble must be firm a good black color, and it must be fragrant. look into this much aside from producing truffles. the show mar, family also runs of bed and breakfast, where frank shamar seen here on the right is in charge of cooking for the guests. right. ali, walla. so what are we making today? it looks like it's simple, scrambled eggs are on the menu. i think

what does the truffle give to the eggs? really to scribble up of the legs are a fatty substance like cream, oil and butter. he diffuses quite well, the scent of the truffle, which will, pleasant year. and that's what we're going to put in the eggs. this is clement. none of the recipe is easy enough to follow. all you need are fresh eggs and then shavings from a truffle. black truffles don't respond well to hi heat. they can quickly lose their properties and so their best added quickly to a dish for flavor. vast, delicious taste. very earthy, like

a hint of woods in my mouth. mm. you can also add truffles to a mild, common bear which absorbs the aroma through this experience. i've learned that the search for these black diamonds is a very delicate business, but after having them in my eggs, i can honestly say, i don't think that i can have them any other way. another day's work has gone to the dogs, but when working with molly here in france, that's a good thing. and if you want to see more reports about food restaurants and recipes from around europe, then check out our youtube channel. here is more of what you will find there. delicacies, stories, enthusiasm, the smell of amazing, the best chef with their best tips, from neat dishes to vague and diet and old recipes secrets. welcome to my well.

paradise. the various ocean currents around the islands make these waters of playground for them. i joint marine biologist, maria initial bravo. on route she tells me more about the weights, make scouts on land let the boats know went away. it's been cited. they're starting their migration north. just feeding grounds very a lot, a lot of food available. and here it is. ours, we are one of the 1st stop side to 1st places where they can find a bit of food because they spend our winter having their babies and almost not feeding at all. so here we are a nice coffee break, that's what it was saying. but before we actually get to see any whales, we start dolphins for 1st one. and then the whole ski, ah,
