a look at what else we've got coming up in the program. we meet udo masa from germany. a celebrated drum designer for pop star and a family in france makes whiskey from a very unusual ingredient. but we start off the show with the ukranian singer jamal la, who is best known for winning the eurovision song contest in 2016. the song that brought her victory was an emotional tale about her grandmother, who was forcibly deported from her home in crimea during world war 2. to day jamal of finds herself in a similar situation and the words to her song from back ben currently reflect her own story. when strangers at cogby, they come to ha, they kill you. oh and say, when and guilty not guilty yet for solitude peace,

i wrote a song about my great grandmother and what she told me about being to portrait from crimea in 1944, a screen. oh, when i seen these lines to day a lie come back to life, adults isn't have meaning. again, running prosper. not the chevy. the 2016 eurovision song contest jamal o one, the otherwise on political competition with 1944, a song about her great grandmother's deportation from crimea under stalin. her family's tragic story touched millions of viewers across europe. shooting along an overnight jamal, i became a kind of ambassador for ukraine at the time, nobody expected that she would have to flee from her own country herself. one day, when since february 24th russian forces have been bombarding ukraine

blood such that the her, my husband woke me at 5 in the morning. better her dania chill if when that brooklyn of us he said the war had broken out at us and russia had attacked us. oh yes, but without a ticket at the moment i can only remember that at that moment i was shocked and was reserved of dawn. i thought about what i had a hack there, sir. sir, there is so many things you've got that you collected over the years he does, but after you can't just stuff an entire life into a backpack within that exact blister this way. as it down suddenly, jamalia was subjected to the same fate as her great grandmother. she chronicled their hurried flight from keep with their 2 children on social media. oh, how it possible that they bombed it. so people

hundreds of thousands were on the move. the roads were jammed, her husband did what he could to get her and their 2 children across the border to romania. they left their things behind but got out with their lives. hipaa latasha brought i remembered that played with the kids in the car. get them had this before we sang and watched cartoons akash and they had cookies and snacks to mansion. oh, but there wasn't any regular food more than once. across the border, jamal la and the boys had to go on alone. her husband stayed behind in ukraine as a volunteer. her sister evelina brought jim allah and her children from romania to her place in istanbul. but tamala doesn't feel truly at home, or even settled. she stays in touch with her husband through video calls. always aware that each call could be the last one. mm hm. yes she,

when night falls and i go to bed as fuzzy and i'm constantly thinking about where he is and if he is all right. oh, it's hard. that's why the days are actually better for me than the nights wish that she to raise awareness of conditions in ukraine. she is currently touring europe with her song 1944. in early march, she sang it at the eurovision song contest, semifinals, and germany. ah, but jim, allah will not be representing ukraine at this year's eurovision. as things stand, it's uncertain if the ukrainian contestants will be able to perform. what is certain, this time eurovision cannot remain on political evil, but a wolf is at all. you are a vision was started to unite europe after the 2nd world war was hit, the way hit me mr. chang says, upset at the moment, one country attacks another things change the seat. but hor that it. gotcha. yeah.

which a to a yeah. it ceases to be a normal competition course and becomes a forum for messages sung out loud. dan shook dea, which news a, as in spite of the stress from her own flight, from ukraine, jamal on never tires of spreading the message of peace for europe and condemnation of the war. ha, ha ha. oh man. oh man, boy, it is gosh foam sharing. this time of crisis, our thoughts, of course, are with the people of ukraine. but we want to turn our attention now to an uplifting climbing adventure in switzerland that offers amazing views. that if you have the stomach to endure the heights, climbers are secured the entire time by

a steel cable, but you will still need nerves of steel for this hike as euro max report are actual pre movies he found out in the latest edition of actual on the edge ah hey there it's accept him of easy always looking for some kind of special experience this time. it's a hike in the mountains. well, kind of, i want to check out the vf hirata from maryland to gimme vite, not by myself of course. but with mountain guide, colby mission, edgar, hello, hello, hello, i'm coby colby. when i'm ok so ok for at least to meet you. so the basic principle goes one carabiner like this and the other next to it. now you trial try

get 3. is there anything i should never do? was of walcott, what shouldn't happen under any circumstances? is that you unclipped both carabiner at the same time. that's strictly prohibited for both. you always have to take one carabiner at a time, so i'm tight. ok, okay. a simple rule, i think i can manage this in a good. oh no. now your do. i never do that again. ah, this is my only safety line. even with the caribbean. oh, hooked on. i have to avoid even the smallest slip on the v of her outta because of the risk of injury. that feeling a bit safer, but i think now it also is what forget it. ah

ah, the 600 meter drug down there. ah okay. i survived a fear the the at in a lynn is pompey, but i did it and the view, it's just amazing. sch, recoil right, colby, that i made it. but what happens if someone doesn't manage it?

and on the shaft in the nice and violent heal, in most cases, it helps to take some time and talk to them and let them know you're there for them . celebry it. so you have to be close by and speak calmly with them, maybe even work the via feronda sat for them 15. and then of course you have to tell them to relax. and if all of that doesn't really help, the next step is to get even closer and put your arm around them. who smiled on hold. i'm back on with that physical contact. they almost always calm down in our name so far. it's always worked out in but also be set se focused on the so in the middle of a cliff, over a 600 meter dropped tasks to relax that out. ah, you don't have to be approved climb, but a trial switzerland's via florida. but then again, the nearly 2 kidding me to route between the villages of movement and give advice is definitely not full complete beacon. and if my mountain guide cuvee hadn't been

with me, i wouldn't have been able to use this zip line. the via for auto can be taken from june to october and just like always, the very best part comes last. ah me the nearly 18 me to loan hanging bridge is without a doubt. that toughest challenge ah . but i didn't have a moment to spare to take in the view of the more than 4000 metre high bernice out .

okay. that's it for today. it was great fun the whole trip, but i didn't expect this so called me par bridge. this hanging bridge to be one of the trickiest part because it's so shaky and most of the time you only have one handler and a so thank goodness i don't have to hike all the way back down to the valley. ah, that's how i got the experience at the very 1st paraglider flight of my life.

a thrilling conclusion to an exhilarating day. wow. now was unbelievable. okay, german musician udo moss hoff marches to the beat of his own dra, quite literally. he not only plays the drums that he makes them as well. for over 30 years myself has been producing drum sets for some of the biggest names in the rock and roll business. we want to hear more about the craft that has made him famous in the drumming world. with flux are tremendous playing the drums as like floating under. i can't think of any other way to describe being grounded and floating at the same time with gosh,

that's what it is. us puzzles, eyes rudo myself. i am udo mos awesome. i'm a drum maker. drum sound designer and i've made drums for charlie watts of the rolling stones. i've made drums for nick cave and the bad seeds at sea for ag pop. and the stooges, it's due to the e pencil, ty guide, or iggy thought. it was really cool that i wrote his name on the bass drum and drew the blood stripes on it with red nail polish. la galactic. he said. wow, never my name on the bass drum. udo myself is the gym and from glue. he's from sir. appreciated by famous drums such as pay andreas on the swedish bank, royal republic gary wallace from the brit rock band, pink floyd, all the brit brook stars of cold play. and with our basement in lightning, either i produced the drum sound with them in the studio, or i was on tour with them as a drum technician. or i just built drums like that one is locked. so i could go

about putting myself lives and works on a small fall about a 110 kilometers southwest of berlin. the 49 year old is currently building a drum set for a buyer from the usa. every pot is hand made with loving attention to detail. what makes a mass of drums special is the formula me to thick shell, which is made of steel and his cuff in one piece. this produces a rich and powerful sound with our or or on does this malvina? glad it's like a bell landed us. it's my mitten. and if you compare that now to a conventional snare, which is what 99 percent of drums are made of it sounds cheap. as clean, it has no tensions up, they can still sound good as a drum. sure them, but it's not the same on ok. abaz's and stuff. he then tightens up the back hit on

the shell. this gets the drum pine nuts to he spends between 30 and 40 hours working on a single drum. he also accepts individual customer requests, such as a picture of the humbert ali for a boxing fan. however, a mess, ultram also has its price and starts at a $1000.00 heroes. an entire sid can run into 5 figures. it all started with elvis presley became of rock'n'roll. i distinctly magazine up as di years ago when i saw this guy, when i was 3 years old, i thought he must be a king. of course he was the king, but i didn't know that yet. all these things band ready make the tool. he is then for a long time he travelled extensively the drum with many different european bombs in 2009. he founded his muscle from school, where he held a variety of workshops. at the same time,

the musician was beginning to build his own drums to date is designed to 30 drum sets and about 600 snare drugs. despite this success, what he loves more than anything, and live performances with zillow. what one montague unpack i'd pack my gear at the drop of a hat and go on to we're again, which be play on tour. yes, sure. naturally right away. i mean, that's what i came into this world war because i came into this world to express myself with drums to make other people happy to share knowledge. and of course, playing live is part of that. that's his lifestyle. so that's one of these days. buddha myself will be back on stage again playing the drums again. but his passion has already produced something lasting on march to the drum. for pet owners who want to keep an eye on their furry friends during the day, there are numerous devices with cameras that allow remote observations. now my cats sleep all day, so i really don't need to check in on them,

but i'm not having your pet check in on you. researchers in scotland are experimenting with ways of getting your dog to call you on a so called dog phone. here's a closer look. hey, what's up? oh, is it good? why? who suffers mall and we're separated, right? joys, missio dogs when, when they're not around you. and then sometimes i imagine he probably might miss me at the university of glasgow in scotland. selina hershey douglas is researching how animals interact with computers. in 2021, she developed a dog phone for her 10 year old labrador zach for a lot of products coming to market that allow you to video. call your animal or track your animal. but your, your dog or, you know, doesn't really have many choices over this technology. and so i thought it would be wonderful if we sort of flip the narrative of this. and instead of dog could make

a video call rather than a human calling them. and also choose whether or not at once dance of the calls about how exactly can you encourage a dog to make or answer a phone call. the other iliana hears key douglas studied zack's behavior and realized that when he wants her attention he aloft and bring her his ball i what i did was on the inside, how's inside this tennis ball? it tie? the tennis ball is just an accelerator and also a chip and it's a battery and some, some other technology that basically connects with bowl to my computer or his computer at home. that essentially turns the ball into a telephone. it connects to the computer when zach starts playing with it, but he's not always in the mood leg. i thought he would really love to connect to me. he turns on never to pick up my calls. so initially i was it been like, oh this isn't the most nice the situation, but he would actually bring me

a lot and, and sometimes it was continually zack's behavior during the calls varies. usually he'll show his toy, but sometimes he goes to sleep or just walks away. he seems quite interested when eliana moves the camera around and shows him her surroundings. he started to call me in these regular sort of pan so often in the morning and sort of like soon after i left, he would get me a phone call and then in the afternoon as well. um and there was like a certain situation where i didn't get a phone call from him in the morning and i start to think, oh is he ok no his when when he break did usual patent i started to worry about him . it turned out to be fine, but i think it just really highlighted it to me. how much of these regular calls had become so much of my routine. the researcher ended her experiment after 2 weeks . now she's convinced the dog phone has a future. but until then,

lots of research work remains to be done. i guess i have like a super big dreams in animal technology. i would really like it if we started developing technology that give animals more control over their life. and so my sort of end goal of this is to really make technology that really improves in animal life and really improved the welfare. and then hopefully through this we learn more things about animals. when we did, it may be some time yet before everyone can receive a phone call from their dog. but the main thing is that communication between human and animal work smoothly for both. and finally, when it comes to whiskey, ireland or scotland come to mind, but a distillery in northern france has also made a name for itself. the ingredients for whiskey seems simple enough water barley in yeast. however, the lay family and brittany has been producing their whiskey for 20 years with a twist,

using buckwheat rather than bartley her daughter lyla, qualify my little family, i just loved the smell, and although it's like standing in a far away mil groupon was amore walker. despite its taste, buckwheat isn't a grain. the not tweet is popular in northwestern france when making galaxy. the pancakes are of britain speciality. oh no, and i live here at the distillery. we're turning buckwheat into something totally different. yeah. whiskey risks? wherein the breton town of flow milan, where low eagle delay operates the distillery with his brothers kevin, and ever bear. great great grandmother. fancy lily began producing spirits with a mo bile distillery. 100 years ago. some 20 years ago the family got into making buckwheat whiskey using natural,

buckwheat water and east. the ingredients ferment to a mash with 5 percent alcohol content. and then be written full. it has some strong aroma with pensive orange, honey, and gingerbread. but, but if it's really appealing to me, i like it to fulfill all the physical revelation of blood, then it's to fill twice over an open fire after which the spirit has a 70 percent alcohol content. perfect. kevin also checks the spirit, smoke and aroma. now it needs to mature in a wooden cask for at least 3 years. the family run business produce is $250000.00 bottles of buckwheat whiskey each year. heavily tends to his

award winning whiskies f 3 day. even though breton and scotland have a similarly mild climates, french, buckwheat, whisky taste, nothing like scotch. think of it rubin well thicker. the taste of banquet lingers for a long time, but foreclosure will i taste it is whisky 15 seconds ago and can still sense it. and good with some whisky, mature for decades. heaven's brother, no, he enjoys playing the balloon, the traditional breton fatpipe to while away the time when super or because the person on the i'm not sure if the whiskey will taste any better if you play for it. but it's worked pretty well so far, so i'll keep doing it to new combat clinton right enough works as a some money a at a nearby high cost restaurant. but she regularly comes by for whiskey,

tastings them up till whiskey. this whiskey will go well with a meal breton, buckwheat whisky is well worth the try. san tay our that we come to the end of the show, but check out our website as we're giving away pieces from d. w's uncensored collection. the label on the sweat shirts and bags have tips on how to access blocked media from around the world. no matter where you are. as always, thanks for tuning in. then we'll see again with
