ah, one that has a yeah. up there you don't have time to look down. i just look ahead. i don't think about looking down in and i just think about the job no more. 13 year old teresa got bo has a special hobby. she's been climbing human towers for 4 years now. she's facing a real challenge. tarragona spain host, the world human pyramid championships. called carstairs, this is more than sport here. it's an expression of catalan national identity. 12 teens are in the finals. fast conscious competes in the castile? yes. davila franco. love music. i'm proud to be part of the custody. yes. did you franka my grandfather?

my whole family has been here my father to i've done this since i was a little boy. my closest friends are here. i couldn't give this up when i wasn't going to wire. the human tele tradition began interrogation in the 18th century. rival groups competed for the best shapes which over time grew taller. i'm taller. the 1st will championship was in 1932 because stells have had unesco world heritage status since 2019 who took it, but if there isn't much risk, despite the highest and the impact if you do full really rather he in fact, so if it or he can be there have been some serious injuries. listen to it, but nothing major in recent years. i mean, if i said a trains that subs children 3 times a week, she's been the casenita for 10 years and knows what it takes to miss you. then who

knows me, nemo, thank you. these, you have to be like a fast eagle. them in your physique, decide which level you go to the. so the smallest one is to go the highest to win, must have even the fee, the mounts, the competition will begin soon. the 600 members of the cast their yes to villafranca into the arena together in the last will championship in 2018. they took 2nd place la jolla, after a while the whole team has came to get in and it's very exciting to see the crowded stadium again. awesome. they've trained a year for this event. the plan structure is far from simple. each has a defined position. thus sanchez tries to keep track of things i can get them or say my via a. this is the plan of a 10 story tower. we want to build, people know, born and a gable. the whole team will inspect the base to make sure everyone is in position

. i wanted to discuss ideas in order to make the castille really impressive, but i guess that's the last many and most of the team forms the opinion or base. this broad foundation stabilize this because does all its weight rest? if the tell a classes, the based absorbs much of the impact assessment that was about for us down below we can see nothing. especially when we have 2 or more people on top of internet. you know, so we're quiet and listen closely to the music. depending on the pitch, we know how high the tower when the base is in place, the trunk is built 10 stories high. everyone is fully focused. at half height, the music starts with

ah, ah, finally, a boy climbs to the top and crowns the tower. with an arm weigh points are awarded for the construction and form as well as for the dismounting, a crowd of, of his 6000 cheer them on. i didn't look him up, i liked the collective experience and the teamwork that the one at the bottom is just as important as the one at the top. i come every year because it's such an incredible display of catalan culture have done is because he has to be in a franca, a will champions in human town building for the 12th time in the clamps history. fungal, because when i 1st started, no one had any idea how high the castillos would become, that we could come so far what, but you can always try to go higher with money. so happy that we've won. it shows

that all the time and effort we put into the rehearsals, paid off a because stells of catalonia, it tradition not for the faint of heart. impressive. now we're entering the world of one of britain's most iconic fashion designers. she's celebrating 50 years of fabulous fashion, pop and glam, even if you don't recognize her name, you will recognize her work. her clientele has consisted of celebrities and nobility, but what makes her stand out most aside from her bubble gum, pink hair and bright blue eye shadow is her drive to continue creating works of art well into her eighty's, introducing dame xandra rhodes. fashion means to me, my life, it means to me what we wear our life that goes on around us. and it's ever changing. so it means that it's

a wonderful brain by the i can call on the raining princess of punk is now 82 years old. xandra rhodes has become a design icon in her hometown london. she was among the 1st to bring the punk look from the streets on to the runways. she dress british princesses, anne and diana, as well as queen's lead singer freddie mercury, and other celebrities too. i had a little tiny studio in bayswater, london, and i could pull the clothes off the rail of freddie put on the pleated top that you always think of which was a bridle to and he just looks wonderful in xandra rhodes as penthouse makes her love of color evidence. back in the 1960 s, she had no plans to become a fashion designer, but rather an illustrator. then she discovered textile design. but when nobody bought her designs, perhaps thinking they looked too extreme. rhodes decided to take matters into her

own hands. yes. i started into fashion because i needed to sell my textiles, and i was a textile designer and i'd lead to print to college. and that's what i've been doing ever since. but making i then ended up making dresses or jackets like i'm wearing a skirt. so everything i do is nearly always printed ah, nothing was off limits to sandra rose from garments to shoes and socks to home accessories. and almost every single design is stored in her memory. especially this one for lady diana from 1986. lady diana was very shy. she's very shy, and really lovely. and you know, a lot of americans think that you just friends them,

you go in and you can't see and you take the dress and you try on her. but i was very proud of her and how she looked xandra rhodes has never slowed down. she explains that her life and her work are thoroughly interwoven and an integral part of it are her sketches. i get inspired by my friends. i get inspired by going on trips and doing drawings and seeing things. so i go somewhere and i might draw relief for a flower or a bug. it could be any thing and you never know where the drawing lead you. it could lead to another design or it's a picture in sketch, blue roads has been living and working in south london since 2003 here she had an old warehouse remodeled as a fashion and textile museum. i think as a designer, the worst thing is if you think i've made it,

because that's the time when this is going to be a big ho and you are going to head down down, down, down. i think that you're always like a tight wrote wilka. he'll always on a on a tight rope. and that's how you have to do. you have be grateful that you've got work and people want it. in 2014, she was appointed dame commander of the order of the british empire. had she achieved the zenith of her career, she has no plans to stop. i never even considered whether i was going to get to 80. i just, i'm lucky, i love my friends. i like my work. and i think the most important thing is to try and live every day as a crops up and, and try and enjoy it. i don't mean it's always is enjoyable. they go down. but you know, try and think of death that way. in that way, dame xandra rhodes looks back at over 50 years of creativity. currently,

she is busy organizing her vast archive and selecting parts of it to present to various museums, always with her sites. firmly setting on the future. now have you ever taken a road trip through europe in a van? i've tried it. it wasn't for me. i like to think of myself as low maintenance, but it turns out i need a little bit of hot running water in the morning to be a nice person. but youtube are, as allison and eric dealer from the states make their tour and an electric camper van look very dreamy. let's see what they're up to in their 3rd episode. ah, good afternoon, once again. hello, eric and allison coming out again. we're continuing our camper van road trip now through italy. we arrived to lake garda, which if you're not familiar with it,

and we're charging, it always starts off saying it's going to take a full 24 hours to charge, but then it always falls down to around 14 hours. so we'll see where we land today . ah, you got an all set up at our camp site and we have our mobile kitchen here out in anita cook, wish making. 6 some sort of stew, we just had a bunch of leftover vegetables from our travel so i'm gonna put it all together in this cut and make some delicious dinner. yeah, i mean how legit does this look? it looks like you got a little kitchen over it. look like it's like allison's little cooking show. just take whatever much to love you haven't roman apartment make your husband eat it. is actually what we're doing. ah . dinner is served. yeah. check it out. not too bad at all. huh. oh, it's definitely not still. it's just noodles and pastor's house with a bunch of

ah, with myself being a princess at this castle, maybe the queen. oh, no dream big little girls out there. ah no, i'm dig in this little peninsula. it's so interesting because you walk in to the castle, which seems very medieval, very european. and then you come back here to these olive trees and these ruined and you almost didn't feel very mediterranean and it's so warm and nice out. it's like you stepped into ancient room. i know it's while we, we went through so many centuries in just like 10 minutes with all righty. we're all charged up. back on the road. we are going to be trading in

in north holland called you guess it got up, but what makes it so special? let's find out in this episode of our theories. good secret. ah, it some of the processes move all for years in aging case and making a richer cheese taste, cook and natural product can be so important before a dog down gets rich from it. it's like champagne and france or be are in belgium and we have g. i look with boulden,

how cheese in cheese produced on the same farm and where to cow's milk and we don't hear the milk, so we produce cheese from rock mill. i am frank applying to welcome to our cheese farm where we produce f that buddha house gosh real ducks, gout, up farmers ts roughly every day we produce between 12 to 14 cheeses, milks our with iris and reynolds are after milk. the 1st 2 and main ingredients, and then we use some little bit of extra calcium adding, read it to mill. that's the point. when you start calling things he's, reynolds comes from the young cows, the cos in order to digest milk. golf uses, read it to flow to digestion down in his guts, in order that the wrench can do its job. the milk has to be still off an hour. the

milk which used to be liquid is then solid. 90 percent of mill is water and the water we don't need in making process by cutting, we get rid of the watery part. our keys produce today will stay for almost 24 hours inside the wooden mall. a cheese is a name that everybody knows. we speak a lot of tourists who are surprised how that is also without i am a current old bar school. i am sitting here in front of the how that he's experienced, where you can learn everything about cheese and the production not for cues

ah, how to became the chief capital of the world. because how that is situated in kind of schwab and around how they're good not grow anything but grass. and what can you do with ross? you buy a house and they eat grass because produce milk and from the milk. you can make me right before the new jesus will get into the malls. we take that jesus out into the soul, beth, we need that to make a crust to the keys. so the cross dries out contains from sold and that makes it a better resistance against the mold or anything like that ever you should reproduce is basically the same recipe. the same way of doing things. what makes different in face is the aging of keys. so we have young cheese, 10 weeks,

3 months, one year old, 2 year old 3 year old, 5 year old, 6 year old and adult at the moment. the oldest was 7 or 8 years. and the best way to eat how to tease is in the morning and in the afternoon flies of dark red. put good, real farm. i was better on top of it and not less slices of real gout, a piece. and then eat it. that's the best. okay, it's time to talk about german culture. so in our culture, to be specific. for those of you still in the dark germans love there san us, complete with the fancy infusions cold plunge pills. and as is the case in one by linds bar, under water attack, no speakers. but and here comes the twist. you have to be naked quite the culture shock for some, including d, w reporter rachel stewart from the u. k. j click oh,

it's 90 degrees celsius. i'm sitting in a cramped, dimly little wooden hut with about 40 strangers and my own make. for the 1st time i visited a nude thorn or in germany, i was way out of my comfort zone. but soon i noticed that nobody seemed particularly interested in anybody else's naked bodies. in fact, if anybody was staring, it was me simply because i've probably seen more naked bodies in that 1st half an hour in the sauna than i had in my entire life. they were all shapes and sizes on display and the full range of body her. it was fascinating, educational woman, visiting the sauna is a regular pastime for millions of germans. but do you really need to be in the new to enjoy this hobby that even well, why not gornick illness? there's nothing wrong with it. it's culture. oh, why? that's the way it's was been. you just wouldn't go into the soil and clothes line. oh no. it's about hygiene. it's more hot, jenna, but it's unhygienic with clothes. with newborn does that copper? i suppose. more of your body can warm up that way to las vegas. you can sweat

better so so, so it's also a way to break down variables in vermont. i'm reading after spending the whole day at the sooner you won't even notice that you don't have any clothes on. i'm not. i'm not sure it can feel pretty liberating to bear all, but the freedom is not absolute. there are strict rules that must be adhered to if he wants to be accepted among the sonically intel. totally gathered by now the 1st world is no close. never to there must be a towel between your, in the stone bench at all time. rule number 20, no talking under any service shed. sorry, highlight any trip to this order is the output, which translates directly as infusion. this is the ultimate solar experience, is about when you arrive at the designated time and find the spot in the sauna. there were usually 2 or 3 rounds which get progressively hotter in between each round. you might get the chance to go outside and cool down and form an orderly, make a few for the shower. kudos to anyone to take the dip in the ispa. each outburst

generally has a phoenix or the water labeled over the hot coals will be huge or something like coconut or you can, if you're lucky, at some point, this is a coffee, scrub salt, or honeywell behind the ground. the sauna will become a hive of activity as people slab of their bodies from top to toe with honey sweaty, honey. an outburst is led by a solar master. they keep order in the sauna due to labeling and performed all important. how order to walk the hot air into every quarter of an unmatched wet session in the nude. if it's not what you're used to, it sounds bonkers. but don't knock it till you tried it. it's true once you've spent a few hours surrounded by naked people, you kind of get used to it and on that note that's oh we've got time for today. but be sure to check out our website for this week's job and a chance to receive some d. w goodies. and of course please follow us on social media from me and the whole
