and enjoy maintaining the why so much higher will said light, i mean the secret rep a people matters to us. mm. that's why we listen to their stories. reporter every weekend on d. w. ah . absurd costumes performances and celebration. find out what this festival is all about to later on in the show. but 1st hello and welcome to another

edition of your max with me, your host, hannah hima. here's what else we've got for you today. german ham hawk is the bavarian specialty being served october fast and watching artist transforms empty plastic bottles into sustainable works of art. but 1st, the whole world seems to be focused on great britain right now. millions of people are saying their goodbyes 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 on really understand that his mother was not just his own mother, his mother, to a whole country into a world he's got taken some circumstances on climate change, for example. so 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 cast 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 developed 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 the festival the significance of the queen's intervention earlier in the year where she said that camilla would be taking the title queen console. 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 a source of massive controversy. charles champion the environment early on. once

marketers 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 knowledge around 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 here. 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 monica to i think he negatively. charles is a sole filling kid. 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 bought fast begins the reign of charles the thought long lived, the king. now the flex this movement of the 19th sixty's might have been made famous by the lakes of yoko ono an yoseph boys, but one of its founders george maturin us was born in the small lithuanian city of conus, 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 flex this festival held in memory of the cities famous son. you're a max reporter axle plymouth. easy got involved. ah

hey, i am actually of tim of easy and i'm here in colonized 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 to thought about. well, me too. so let's find out about happening as i understand some kind of marching on up on the hill addressed in different glo, this and thought. so obviously i do need a costume for the fluxes festival. i am in cone us home to around 300000 people. it's lithuanian, 2nd largest city, during its year as a european capital of culture, it will host over a 1000 events. and the flax's festival is one of the biggest. i'm heading to one of

the many workshops at which people can make cost. oops. 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 because dislike 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 having the time. so this is my creation. i call it the flexi car, and the festival starts at george much from the square at the edge of the city center. normally it's a busy intersection. but one, the year, the square,

which is named after the founder of the flax's movement, disclosed to traffic and open for costume revelers. george mas, eunice, 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 co owner, belong to the flux is 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 damian. all the stuff, everybody got a lot of instructions, you know, how to behave, what to do with not to do what were to say, how to stay safe, you know, so, so we fun. what if fluxes could give some instructions would make us more free to,

to make us look around, bit differently, instructions to feel that it's not so scary to explore yourself. personally, participants can't wait to get started. now they just have to climb up palatas hill in typically flax's style. the festival 1st took place him corners in 2018 at the top, playful and observed his performance is a weight festival guests. here folk search for colonels of grain in mounds of earth while blindfolded they deal with

oh my good with the for i'm on the on the order i level i like about it. i love how people are united during this event the made it it's crazy. a, i'm glad to bed. we king kids like our comfort zone. you can be whatever you one today. so that's why i like that like freedom. then it's time for the grand she knowledge. the fiery message means let flux was keep burning inside you because it's a, it's a good way. 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 darn 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 in munich. and it's always prepared 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 had 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'm is delighted to cook and serve shrines hawks. however young it inspires me with its quality dog. it brings to mind the dishes home and it's blue and white sky, louder than typical image of bavaria replied to me. shines hawks is bilberry out of monsieur via the half boy house lies at the center of munich in southern germany. it's the beer hall of a brewery and has belong to the bavarian states since $1589.00. both gang hi to my uses. simple ingredients for his bavarian fine saxon ripped off, unite a ham hawk of bavarian quality, and you add salt, pepper, caraway garlic and a blend beer. you think fitted so it's important to use regional ingredients this awful so you know, just where everything came from, flash or the chart. i make sure the meat is of the very in quality is all, and that the farmers arrays the pix humanely, that you can taste it yesterday because the animals are not that stress. i know it's on the student id for gifted a thumb, and that's where marianna shed 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 and they're stole the way they're naturally inclined to either way my, my visit was 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 height, maia is seasoning the pigs for leg. he blends garlic with salt, pepper and caraway seasoning and rubs it into the meat. but he leads out the rind, the spices, half to soak into the meat for an hour. he then puts the shine taxi 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. sam gordon called old making a good potato dumpling, takes

a good potato with a lot of starch and salt hard boiled. 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 because it has to. so again, when the crust gets porous, i pour the barrow up right here. the dark beer has much more sugar and karma license giving the shines hawks a glossy look in caramels. labor. convinced that the crust gets crispy or the growth because moisture is added and escapes again, and it pops open like popcorn or the alpha bob. lots of all your popcorn. shine, tax is served with the potato dumpling and sauce sauce comes from the black beer port on top. and this is where the centuries old tradition at eating shrine taxes

begins with the other silly, pretty eating spines. hocksey is a little celebration wash, right? you don't just sit there alone with your spine toxic. i mean you have been eating out the with the right atmosphere, a bit of music beer and pretzels, so by b braids with both. but what's the right way to eat spine toxic tobias, i'm saga is a regular here and he shows us how to do it both grin because sky carefully cut off the crock shop. this is not the most dangerous part, because it can get a bit tricky, at least excited. elaine's thing is to keep you shut clean. it was all about life. mm. the varian spines. hocksey is a real specialty insurance policy. ah,

well, he certainly looked to so 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 carla with a book. but i do love reading, so this next report is a highlight for me. many famous story tellers and writers are from germany. the brothers grimm, of course, and greats like gucia 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 shoot the girl evil skepticism when they make she sit. by chopping off their luckily to print,

to look at the wedding, the evil sexes have arrived. the brothers grimm a gory twist on european folk law back in the 1900 century. thanks to them and right is like good angela. germany has long been known as the land of poets, some thinkers, but land of book club germans read less than people in countries such as brazil, russia, italy, in china. but germany does. nobel prize winner furniture and the biggest books are in the world. an avid reader in germany is known as a book, a book cruel, or rather charmingly, a reading wrap, science. let's see how well these reading wrap. no, they won't get as too many have more breweries or libraries taking. is maria perez? yeah. libraries. i hope. yeah, definitely libraries that who wrote death in denison that, that was that connie might write too much money. germany sell the most book licenses to which country i taught 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. got her, sorry, sure you go son. 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 gets published, the best sellers all sold at full price, essentially help finance the more nice books and works by unknown authors. the book has been raw, the symbolic of various stages in germany's history german scholar. johan, as gutenberg revolutionize reading and the 15th century,

with his mechanical printing press that used moveable metal type, he soon got to work making the 1st printed copies of the blood. 500 years later, books that weren't approved of by the nazis were being tossed on to bonfires across gemini. the image is chillingly recalled, the words of german writer, highland china, where books are burned. people will also be burn. today's job a national library is a sign of german reunification having brought together existing institutions from east and west germany. it houses some 36000000 items and anyone who publishes anything in germany is required by law to send 2 copies to the national library. talking of libraries which law, which one that i definitely think germans 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 that adds even more value to the bug out his book was bunched. i got. so what did the germans like to read? there are a few regulars in the best seller. list, the dictionary, the bible, anything by or about the pope one john or the often dominates. the fiction johnson

is the semi or crime thriller. these come with gloomy covers and ominous titles like discerned the package, of course, 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. muggle is a mortgage buck beek is zayden, novel and fluffy. the 3 had a dog as cools, now fluffy jim and books that always maker on to the global market. but there have been some resounding export successes like miss aisle, end of never ending story or bernard thinks the reader and often dubbed the j. k. rowling of germany, cornelia funk a has captured imaginations worldwide with her inkwells series about the 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, never 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 with these recycled objects or the works of cheque artist, veronica, which throw bah, say my premier, 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 off in that 2nd. i got the idea to use this material for sculptures. oh, did he this and materiel pool? everyone said you're crazy. that's trash fool. so they share b. t bottles are made from polyethylene. theresa 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 of 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. in force of where you have to know how to hold, it can be able to the how long t she takes them forever and at what temperature that comes from experience. oh, there's experi young. so she regularly routes through the recycling bins in her home town looking for new material. you her head

day. i'm looking for a pink bottle, 3 day bouquet or orange bottles. i go good and sturdy. bother to key being funny to like this one. so tell me about the de mer provide it. 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'd been a collector ever since my child had my sir. 1 o'clock, she stores thousands of p e t bottles of all shapes and colors and her garden shed and a small barn. a, you know, fung stalkers, you boost. 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 that it shows it says won't go often when i create something or ill pieces of the bottles are left over day. this

here will become the body of a fly. hey sookie, my leftovers can become something else, a plant or whatever long to that in by fires me, there's no end to it talks because hills on the feeney show met. oh, her kitchen chandelier, swarming with plastic flies, is now finished. it abandoned me. now i can let that go and start on something else . this work was commissioned and has already been sold for 800 euros. she recycled 40 bottles to make it. veronica restore 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 the unit with
