spiritual awakening. an entire universe of culture. a new episode. arch 21. a you want to know with love via batting thing. that's a way i'm not even allowed to watch my own car and everyone with later holes and everything today. just kidding, are you ready to meet the german and join me, rachel stuart on d. w. ah ah, ah. absurd costumes performances and celebration find out what this festival is all

about to later on in the shoe. but 1st hello and welcome to another edition of your max with me, your host, hannah, her mom. here's what else we've got for you today. german ham hawk libertarian specialty being served october fast. and one king artist transforms empty plastic bottles into sustainable works of art. but 1st the whole. 1 world seems to be focused on great britain right now. millions of people are saying their good byes to the queen who passed away last week after over 70 years on the throne. hundreds of thousands of people are laying flowers outside, buckingham palace and other official residences. in order to pay their respects to queen elizabeth, of course, but likely also in hopes of catching a glimpse of the new monarch time to find out a little bit more about the new king charles the 3rd. ah, britain has

a new monarch, king charles the 3rd since the death of his mother, queen elizabeth the 2nd on september the 8th. charles is the new head of state. he will carry that legacy and really understand that his mother was not just his own mother. his mother to a whole country into a world he's got taken so strong stances on the climate change. for example, i think it'll be interesting. see how that shows in his style. i like the new king because i know he's gonna carry on the tradition of the queen for 70 years. so he's going to do a really, really good job. charles has already made history as britain's longest serving as a parent. and now at age 73, he's the oldest british monitor ever accede to the throne. historian and a white law has followed his career path for some while it's very hard to know yet

how the king style will differ than the queen. and fundamentally, he will know, he needs to be seen to be believed. he needs to be out there. he needs to be doing the royal walk about as his mother understood. charles phillip offer. george was born in london on november, the 14th 1948. in 1981, he married lady diana spencer. the couple had 2 children, the princess william and harry, but later divorced in 2005, 8 years after diana died in a car crash in paris. charles married his longtime partner, camilla parker bowles. she is now queen consort. she's been with camilla all the way through the last few days, and i think that really shows festival the significance of the queen's intervention earlier in the year where she said the camilla would be taking the title queen, consort. and remarkably, that hasn't really been an issue a few years ago. one might have imagined that asserting and declaring that camilla

was quinn called, that was the source of massive controversy. charles champion the environment early on. once marked as the prince, who talks to plants, he's now seen as a pioneer for 5 years. london based, designed you, ivan and o me have been using wheat like stinging nettles from charles's high grove estate to produce textile fibers and create new fashions whose knowledge arose sustainability, the environment and stuff. so vos, i hope he doesn't give up on all his interests because i'm not sure if anybody would have that much of a passion for the environment or sustainability as he, as the prince. charles also wrote, books supported a variety of charitable organizations and youth foundations. and founded the food company dodgy. organics, will he make his markers monarch 2? i think inevitably, charles is assault filling kin. he's not going to be king for decades. and in many

ways, i think he is a sort of stop gap figure before the accession of king william. and i think the hopes for the monarchy really ah, for finding a relevance and voice for the 21st century will be very much focused on william. but 1st begins the reign of charles the thought long lived the king. now the flexing movement of the 19 sixty's might have been made famous by the lakes of yoko ono an yoseph boys, but one of its founders george matured us was born in the small lithuanian city of cohen us, which lies west of the capital, a villainous. this year, counties has been named one of the 3 european capitals of culture. one of the highlights was the flux as festival held in memory of the cities famous sun,

your max reports her axle pim of easy got involved. ah hey, i am actually tim of easy and i'm here in collin us, one of this year's european capital of culture tonight is the flax's festival happening. one of the biggest events this year. you have no idea what it thought about. well, me too. so let's find out it's about happening as i understand some kind of marching on the, on the hill address and different clovis and thought. so obviously, i do need a costume for the fluxes festival. i'm in conus home to around 300000 people. it's lithuania is 2nd largest city during its year as a european capital of culture. it will host over a 1000 events. and the fluxes festival is one of the biggest. i'm heading to one of

the many workshops at which people can make cost ships. the organizers have provided all kinds of materials, so everybody can let their creativity run right for free. i think i feel like a kid like to do something i haven't done cuz this like event doesn't happen like 10 years ago. so it's pretty cool. wings that these are supposed to be wings and the process just get going on and on . and it's something now it's fun seeing other people doing this. it's a fun. see what everyone comes up with and just everyone have a good time. so this is my creation. i call it the flexi car in the face of it starts at george much from the square at the edge of the city center

. normally it's a busy intersection. once a year, the square, which is named after the founder of the flax's movement, disclosed to traffic an open for costume, revel, us george machine, us and others kicked off. the flax was movement in the early 19 sixty's distancing themselves from elitist hi art. the focus was on performances and happenings. the creative idea was more important than the finished work. and the more observed the idea, the better famous artists like your corner, belong to the fluxes, movement. one part of it was instructions like how to make her a one kind of performance. just stand there, look at the audience, clap and do that. so there's like chuck chuck, chuck chuck instructions these 2 years ago and 2 until now like this been damien, all the stuff. everybody got a lot of instructions, you know, how to behave, what to do with not to do what the, what is it, how to stay safe, you know, ah,

so we, for what if fluxes could give some instruction, would make us more free to, to make us look around, but differently instructions to feel that it's not so scary talks floor yourself. personally, participants can't wait to get started. now they just have to climb up paradise hill in typically flax's style. the festival 1st took place him corners in 2018 at the top. playful and absurd as performances await festival guests here folk search for kernels of grain in mounds of earth. while blindfolded. i deal with

oh my good with the for i'm on the order. i'm on the level i like about it. i love help you bullies are united and during this a i'm glad the beds leaking. kids like our comfort zone. you can be whatever you want today. so that's why i like i like freedom that it's time for the grand she knowledge. the fiery message means lead flax's, keep burning inside you because it's work or it's working where i well thankfully we can always rely on excel to get involved in the fun. no, it's that time of year in germany again,

the october fast celebrations are kicking off in munich this weekend. yes. octoberfest start in september. it's confusing. i know. but you can expect to see a see of later hosen and plenty of durned dose being dawned in bavaria right now. and the beer. well, it's flowing but to watch people eat at october, fast spines, taxes are german hancock. it's the most popular food there. so let's take a closer look at this traditional bavarian dish. with this is german hancock or shine saxon being served in the huff boy house and munich. and it's always prepare it according to the original bavarian recipe. for a decade now, this man has been passionately cultivating an integral part of the varian dining culture here been the most from it up. my name's book gone right meyer. i'm the

head chef at the hope. boy, how is it? and i am always delighted to cook and serve spines, hocksey every young. it inspires me with its quality. it all, it brings to mind the dishes home on and it's blue and white sky louder than typical image of the very if you're back to me. spines. hocksey is blueberry out of me, off by on the hoff boy house lines at the center of munich in southern germany. it's the beer hall of a brewery and has belong to the bavarian states since 15. 89 wolfgang hi to my uses . simple ingredients for his bavarian fine saxon ripped off tonight, a ham hawk of bavarian quality, and you add salt, pepper, caraway garlic and beer, you think fit it. so it's important to use regional ingredients this awful so you know, just where everything came from. flash of the time, i make sure the meat is of the very in quality is old, and that the farmers arrays the pix humanely like that. you can taste it yesterday because the animals are not that stress either on the student for gifted

a thumb. and that's where molly i lashed lowville comes in. she selects the farms authorized to supply the huff boy house with meat. and it's crucial for the pigs to be able to roam around freely in their stall the way they're naturally inclined to either way my my, my vehicle or when you take a look at them with how alert and interested they are. you can just tell they're doing well. back in the kitchen, wolfgang heights maya is seasoning the pigs for leg. he blends garlic with salt pepper and a caraway seasoning and rubs it into the meat. but he leads out the rind. the spices have to soak into the meat for an hour. he then puts the shines hocksey in the oven for half an hour at a $160.00 degrees celsius. he then douses it with black beer and cooks it for another 2 hours at a $110.00 degrees. then high to maia prepares the traditional side dish. potato

dumplings, said golden cousin, making a good potato dumpling takes a good potato with a lot of starch and salt hard to hold. he shapes the mashed and salted potatoes into balls by hand, and cooks them in boiling salt water for 20 minutes. after 2 hours, he raises the oven temperature to $230.00 degrees for half an hour and douses the shine taxes in black beer, 2 more times with the gun it has to. so again, when the crust gets porous, i pour the barrow over it tear, the dark beer has much more sugar and it karma license, giving the shins hawks a glossy look in caramel flavor. convinced the crust gets crispy or the growth because moisture is added and escapes again. and it pops open like popcorn or the album brought it all through. popcorn. shine taxi is served with a potato dumpling and sauce sauce comes from the black beer poured on top.

and this is where the centuries old tradition of eating shrine tax. it begins with the fear that silly pretty eating spines hawks is a little celebration wash, right? you don't just sit there alone with your spine talk. so i mean, you have fun eating out with the right atmosphere, a bit of music, beer and pretzels. so by b breeds. but what's the right way to eat shines hocksey. toby is ansuka is a regular here and he shows us how to do it. oh, a friend, he caught sky carefully cut off the cross shop. is it not the most dangerous pomp because he can get a bit tricky at least excited. their main thing is to keep you shut clean. it was all but lives there in spines. hocksey is a real specialty insurance policy. ah,

well, he certainly looked as though he was enjoying it. now, how often are you able to really get stuck into a novel? i studied english literature and even i find it difficult to drag myself away from my phone sometimes and curl up with a book. but i do love reading. so this next report is a highlight for me. many famous storytellers and writers are from germany. the brothers grimm, of course and greats. like good to and schiller. d. w reporter rachel stuart, investigated the history of books and reading in germany. once upon a time there was a prince who sat in love with a beautiful mystery. enough to shield the girl evil skepticism that they make.

she sits by chopping off there and luckily the prince. to look at the wedding, the evil sexes have their i like the brothers grimm, a glory twist on european folk, little back in the 19th century. thanks to them and right, like good angela, germany has long been known as the land of poets, some thinkers. but if it landed book club germans read less than people in countries such as brazil, russia, italy, in china. but germany does by nobel prize winner furniture and the biggest book fair in the world. an avid reader in germany is known as a book, a book fool, or rather charmingly a reading wrap. so let's see how well these reading wraps. know that the wilson good is germany, have more brewery libraries. yeah. libraries. i hope. yeah, definitely libraries that who wrote death and dennis that, that was that klein might

a writer too much money. germany sell the most book licenses to which country baton usa, no idea. holland switzerland, france, no sign of what is the prize rod so late at night and wind like that? i know it's the father with his child. it is the father with his child, the palms called the l king. it's sheila, it's the other one, gerda, sorry, sure you go fun fact many countries right? the titles on their books by and from top to bottom. but in germany, they usually risen from bottom to top. so when a german book is cover up on the coffee table, the title is upside down on the spine. books can be pretty pricey here because all shop have to sell new releases at exactly the same price. the idea is to protect independent bookshelves and to ensure that the diverse range of books gets published. the best sellers all sold at full price essentially help finance the more nice books and works by and over. the book has been rather symbolic at various stages in germany's history gym and scholar johan

a school that revolutionized reading in the 15th century with his mechanical printing press that use movable metal type. he soon got to work making the 1st printed copies of the bible. 500 years later books that were approved of by the nazis were being tossed on to bonfires across germany. the images chillingly recalled the words of german right behind the china, where books and people will also be burned. today's german national library as a sign of german reunification having brought together existing institutions from east and west germany. it how this sum 36000000 items. anyone who publishes anything in germany is required by law present 2 copies to the national library. talking of libraries. lavish one that i definitely think sermons have a special relationship to their books and to library, where they can not only find those books, but also make the most of other services and activities. and that's even more value to the book. the book was punched i got. so what did the germans like to read? there are a few regulars in the best seller that the dictionary, the bible,

anything by or about the pope one gene or the often dominates the fiction jobs here is the semi or cr i'm. these come with gloomy covered, and ominous titles like the package, a corpse in the beach. many books that make it big in germany, translations from other languages like harry potter, which has sold more than 33000000 copies in german. i'm muggle is a movie buck big is irish, novel and fluffy. the 3 had a dog as cools, now fluffy, german book, then always make it onto the global market. but there have been some resulting export successes like me say, and this never ending story or been as thinks the reader and often of the j. k. rowling of germany. cornelia phone has captured imagination worldwide with an inquest theory about little girl who loves to read. there was another reason why maggie took her books whenever they went away. they were home when she was somewhat strange. they were familiar. voices. friends never left the

in germany, plastic bottles like these aren't actually usually thrown in the been people take them to their local shop to recycle them because you can get money back. but elsewhere around the world, they're thrown away all the time. and this of course creates endless amounts of waste and plastic pollution. but one artist in the czech republic saw an opportunity to transform trash into vivid pieces of art. yesterday's trash becomes tomorrow's art. sculptures made from discarded plastic bottles. these recycled objects are the works of check artist veronica, which throw bah, se map. hm. yeah. this is my 1st work from plastic bottles. i made it in 2004 said that was the beginning of my pet art. but i, veronica,

at least whoever lives in bush jarrett near prague. she studied art architecture and design both in the check capital and paris. in france, she mainly worked with scrap metal. at 1st she hadn't thought of using plastic or her sculptures. said that that has allergens it, but that was purely by chance at thank ok. rather, i don't know if it was by chance or if it came upon me from on high i once i was working with hot air and tried to heat up a bottle, i'd been drinking from shed. or in that 2nd i got the idea to use this material for sculptures. oh, did he, this and materiel poor? every one said, you're crazy. that's trash fool. so they share b. t bottles are made from polyethylene, teresa late made from crude oil. it's bad for the environment and doesn't bio degrade quickly. the artist has opened

a new perspective on the material and the great potential of creative recycling here. she's at work on a chandelier. gauss, i'm also jerry day. when i get started, i have an idea how often i see that it won't work challenge then i have to try another technique or find another bottle of her during the process. and i figure out how i can make it work. the gl model, if the cheque artist has developed various techniques for transforming plastic trash into art, she heats melts, cuts and fuses, the plastic bottles together to shape them into all kinds of objects. it was of where you have to know how to hold. it can be able to to how long to heat it up, temper and at what temperature that comes from experience. oh, there's experi young. so she regularly routes through the recycling bins in her

hometown looking for new material. you her head day. i'm looking for a pink bottle, 3 day bouquet or orange bottles, decker good and sturdy boys do key piece. being funny to like this one said i may have acted more, provided they're looking for bottles. is the best part of my work? is of them. i never know what i'm going to find and i'm up for surprises over a gym to me. this is an adventure because i've been a collector every since my child had my sir. well now from she stores thousands of p t bottles of all shapes and colors in her garden shed and a small barn a you know, fung spock as you booth. i don't think i can save the world with my art may come and you, but i like to show people that you can reuse things seditious. her sister won't go

often when i create something, her elma pieces of the bottles are left over day. this here will become the body of a fly. hey, sookie, ms. lust overs can become something else. a plant or whatever long to that in the fires me. there's no way to it talks because humans on the feeney show me. oh, her kitchen chandelier, swarming with plastic flies, is now finished. your book abandoned me. now i can let that go and start on something else of this work was commissioned and has already been sold for 800 euros. she recycled 40 bottles to make it, veronica, we still vas. plastic art is both creative and climate friendly and that set for today's edition. just a quick reminder to take part in our draw for a chance to get your hands on a bag and sweat check from our d. w. uncensored collection. thanks for watching. take care and see unit
