but dr. joseph or linds sky is creating a buzz for another reason. we'll find out more at the top of the show. i want to welcome to another edition of your max with me, your host. megan lee has a look at what else we've got coming up with why germans are crazy about their bread and how acro beat are heating up. berlin, dance clubs, opera and brake dance are 2 activities that you wouldn't normally think about combining. but for yucca, yusef or lensky from poland, both are his passion as an accomplish breakdancer and a rising star on opera stages around europe. and in the us or lensky is part of the young generation of artists who are injecting fresh life into classical music. we

met up with him in paris for a look at how he got his start in both disciplines. blue, he's yeah. cove yoseph, olean sky, arising star of your pro world. ah . he's $32.00 from poland, uniquely charismatic, and a master of an extraordinarily high vocal range. oh lou. at the age of 8, he began singing boys choir in bush back then he had no idea he would eventually make a career as a county tenant. oh, did the beginning, i didn't even know that it's a full settle technique that it's a counter than her voice. i was just singing i was just literally producing sound. so i was exploring experimenting, trying to melt into the,

and sort of other voices of the, of the group. and then later on, when we went for some workshops, i got the information from the, from one of the teachers that look all your economy dinner. and i was like, are you trying to offend me? what was that like? and then i got the older information, but he has a hobby to break down. an even while on tour with the opera, he practices almost every day. as a teenager, he spent a lot of time dancing in the streets with his friends, but at the same time he was discovering a love for all pra. i was not. hi, yes, but i was not coming to a practice session saying, hey guys, i recovered dinner at 5 for so, so it was just sort of like somewhere there. and at the beginning, i have to say i was living a little bit of, let's say 2 lives over opera, singer counter tenor and a dancer like a breaker. and then it's kind of finally chair got together. he sees no

contradiction in his love of those opera and break down things. it is sort of different, but actually, you know, there are a lot of common things and it actually fulfills me in a very good way because of course i love singing and that's what i do for living and every day. but also like dancing is my passion. it's like everything. what i love, the music is the physicality, acrobatics and freedom. it's sort of like her. i don't know, meditation, some people have to just sit down and i don't know, close their eyes and i have to then specializing in barrack opera, his chum and talent fil concert halls across europe in the united states. even when younger audiences to opera music. ah, it's really nice to see young public coming to our concerts because really it,

it is, it is fun. the energies is different. the atmosphere is different. i don't see better, but it's different. oh, the music videos for the 7 albums he's got so song very like those. it's major pop stars. so it's little surprised that he does some modeling to as here for the publish edition. instead, they do things my way and it's, i don't like when, when somebody says, for example, like all you should do this because it's like, brings a lot of views. all this brings a lot of followers on, my gosh, is going to bring new public. i don't like this kind of thinking because is for me not authentic. and what i, what i want to do is to do things which are correct with me. and what i thing is is, is good morning. sky landed his biggest success to date insults and sneakers. this performance in 2017, at a music festival in exxon provence, southern france has racked up of 10000000 views on the internet.

he broke at some level. this kind of let's see, stiffness of, of, of classical world because we were in this beautiful patio and it was just, you know, 35 degrees outside. so everybody was just melting and we were wearing was you were in, you know, the silva friends, just lose nice clothes lou lou in the 1st half of 2023. the busy of krista will be appearing in the us. poland, france, spain, portugal and germany. but he's sure he'll still find time for a little break, dancing with about 3000 varieties to choose from. it's no wonder germans love their bread so much and they they

certainly miss it when they travel abroad. well bred here in this country is a staple in many households, but to understand why germans are so crazy about their bread, t w's, hannah homo, set out on a fact finding mission. what can i get you? i'd like some bread. we have white bread, dry bread, pumpkin bread, lucy, grain, bread for grain, bread and many mould off b. i'm more turns aren't germans are pretty crazy about their breads and no wonder, in fact there are over 3000 different types of german bread. not means if you eat indifferent kind every day you could keep going for 8 years. i grew up in scotland where sliced bread is pretty much the standard, but my german died used to be a different kind at home for us every week. so i got a taste of the culture from

a pretty young age. but why are germans so crazy about their bread? let's find out. first of all, no bread baking was not invented in germany. the oldest spread remains are over 14000 years old and were found in what is now jordan. bread is one of the world's most common and oldest foods. many countries have their own types of bread with flowers. by the way, the country where the more spread is consumed per capita is germany, but turkey. all you need to bake bread is flour, salt water, and yeast or sour dough. different types of flour and such ingredients as grains provide variety. oily, keen sir is a master baker in one of berlin's oldest bakeries, but ingredients alone do not make good bread. the process does true need the dough

correctly shape it and let it sit. then bake it in the oven for just the right amount of time. and turn on the stone gosling else. no other country has such a distinctive bread culture as germany sized for bread is one of the things germans abroad. mister most esteem also. so why are there so many different kinds of driving bread? well, it all comes down to history. germany wasn't always a united country. they used to be divided into several independent states, each of which had their own kind of grains always of beacon bread. but the centuries old culture is under threat. a few traditional bakeries are still thriving, but many supermarkets and discounts stores are taking over. they don't bake their bread from scratch, but they do sell it on the cheap meaning that the number of bakeries and the people wanting to learn the trade is in decline. 60 years ago, there were over 55000 bakeries in germany. now that number has dropped to just

under 10000. well, many bay craze our closing day. others are puting new concepts to the test. like the kite bakery in berlin, where they believe less is more only 5 types of bread are available owners. coney, our school and tunnels pollutants gave up their jobs that germans sports brand added us to open the bakery with its 2 branches. all the ingredients come from within a 100 kilometer radius of breland. and that's is considered what anita ika. bread is available everywhere from, especially in germany and on. so what you can get it in the supermarkets filling stations. and on every corner walbridge dish off to thought it was also important for us to show the grid can be enjoyed and on does the supersonic be so special that we say we make only a few lows about, but the really good hold i grew up appreciating german bread, but it was only when i moved to germany that i realized just how crazy germans are about their bread. and who can blame them when it plays such a huge role in daily life and is so connected to the history of the country.

hopefully, germany's baker is, will be able to keep the craft alive for many more years to come. coral reefs are known as the rain forest of the sea. they come are only about one percent of the ocean, but are home to about 25 percent of all marine life. coral reefs also play an important role in protecting coastal communities from storms and water surges by acting as a buffer. but they are under increasing threat due mainly to climate change over fishing and pollution. now one artist from england is on a mission to help save coral reefs. one paper cut at a time. a by 2050 scientists. estimate that 70 to 90 percent of all col ratings will be extinct primarily as a result of warming,

martian temperatures. we must take action now, and that is why i'm using my aunt as a vessel for positive environmental change. my name as j ot. she was annette substantially and the name of a japanese subway line in tokyo, but at school sire alliance with my initials. i'm 20 years old and i've been paper cutting for around 7 and a half years. so i sense of our young age. i've known that i want it to be an artist or a creative and some way. i'm inspired by i'm japanese paper cutting woods. kidding me. thanks to create lodge original paper guns and spied by co rapes. i find the process of pipe casting incredibly meditative. it's a grounding experience that enables me to really reach this flow site. this piece is and spawn by a type of gold coral. i'm looking into at the moment,

but i am currently working for memory. i think the challenge of type, the cutting and should probably be the intense dedication that is required to see each pace through. i find that at several mental challenge to try to minutes each pace and you have to have that drive in order to carry on with the pace because i can type like 3 to 5 months more. so my piece is a named off to japanese subway lines or subway stations. i'm a student at university at the moment my study japanese studies. i'm also an artist . i've excited has my work internationally and across the u. k. i've had to work in japan, australia, the u. s. and across europe and my started selling 5 years ago. so i tend to sell the room social media, so of promoting on social media. but i will so south through,

off as an exhibition. occasionally, i'm essentially donating i percentage of all of my revenue of my original art sales to i'm car alive. that money is essentially helping to fund the construction of one of the world's largest carro last race in the motives, to a sanctioning plant. lots of car tables and try to mitigate the impacts of climate change on a cars to regions. i fast a lot about car bleaching out school when i was much younger. and i continued to researching and corals. i felt like it was an area of the planet that is too often overlooked, even though charles are on the front line of the climate change in the environment to destruction. yeah, so when i was an issue researching carl bleaching, i saw that. so the moments before a car would die of such and carl's and metting lots of vibrant colors, especially sort of neon fluorescent colors. and i found out really fascinating as

of something that i hadn't seen before or heard of. and i wanted to sort of capture that final moment and carl's lie. and i tried to do that within my many paces. so i have a lot of mini paces that i lack on that are like little sections of a coral reef. and they work together to form a lodge, so unless reef it's outside, they're behind them. i spent a lot of my time and my childhood and east london like. and i was really inspired by one of the street out there and not help to inspire all of the colors i used to day. and it works perfectly with me, carson corals, and the final moment of the car life. so seeing the impacts of climate change on co rapes mass times, i'm really drives me to try to take action through it on my heart as thoughts we can restore and co riffs around the world that are being destroyed

by warming arch in temperatures. and instead of vacation of the ocean and trying to really restore those ecosystems because they protect millions of people across the wilds from flooding and rising sea levels. it's incredibly important that we preserve these areas of our planet for future generations. ah, when it comes to clubbing in berlin, the city is known for its techno music, but another genre of dance music is taking the club. culture here by storm. are fro, beats, or rhythms from various parts of africa are becoming a must on play lists. but the journey to get there has not been an easy one, according to 2 digits at the forefront of the afro

b movement. here in germany. aah, nigerian, afro beats and golden co, douro or the newest south african house tracks the fest. zaccheus bag celebrates african rhythms. d j's no. me and mr. wallace are the main club acts tonight. as part of the fleet to last week music collective, they've been hosting afro parties in germany for 10 years to the left of yahveh in the last 10 years. afro beats have definitely become a must in every club at every of out to get smithfield enough of some. whether it's south african. i'm a piano, so i've copied to calais. don't below anything. the wallow is up at the alice. oh, the new club music from africa has galvanized the club scene for from when wally's in know me launched their 1st berlin club series,

afro heat. they also wanted to create a safe space for people of color. oh, revealed damages. when we went out back then i said there was a kind of quota what they'd say, i'm no, we already have 10 percent blacks. that's enough for today. and slots are things like that. are too many turks to me or absolute. i approved a tour. we just wanted an evening where it didn't matter. it's 99 percent of black for 99 percent turks within sports and all the main thing is to celebrate and love this sound. okay, i'll talk to dan, it's good. we'll even, it's all done okay. with sexual orientation, gender, age, or origin from the start. these haven't mattered at their parties. what counts is shared passion for new african music? and it's contagious. christy last week are now a fixture on the berlin club scene and also play the really big electronic events with their own sound system. but i feel concerned going. it's good for us to now

i'm going to get out of the underground and hit the main stream ran smoking. i'm glad to know which hides. if i move, i staying power goes, saying that's where we want to go and we're going to get there then. so we believed in ourselves and we made it on campus forming an african music. collective in berlin is one thing, holding your own, as a woman in a male dominated deejay and mc seen is something else. but no me is now one of the few internationally recognized afro beats de jane's the slam on point that it was really, really tough at 1st. the guys didn't take me seriously at all. uh huh. god, they wouldn't even say hello as of. and when someone booked me and i showed up, they were like a woman and tack no way to kind of ne, but when they saw what i could do, they welcomed, made embassy. so kind in the last 10 years, they've taken me seriously. thank god, happy that senior huffman, instead of asking them got the side down oh,

freak. the last week has also been producing its own afro sound for several years. they promote new talents on their label and know me as happy to support them with video shooting tips. i often when you shake, do more with your hands, do more. okay. yeah, going to look more like math. i mid i mid they're also bringing the berlin afro vibe back to africa. they shut the video to diva d angola by the openly, by sexual singer serafina sanchez with queer people from angola on site the right of our vomiting awful. but we want to bring this afro vibe everywhere, that there are still too few people enjoying it and on. and i think it's also a good way to break down barriers also between nation us to bon office and, and there's nothing better than connecting people through music for, to remove offensive movie closer to help them i do,

along with the internationally booming afro beats freaked last week are also spreading the word about other types of modern african music. a bonus, not only for the berlin club scene. and finally, we move on to florence, italy, we're all roads eventually lead to the famous pontiff vecchio, the cities oldest bridge. it's a top tourist attraction in florence, mainly known for the shops built along it. like many historical structures. the pontiff vecchio has a long history and if it could speak, it could share some of it secrets with us. but since that is not possible, we met up with a local guide instead. hi, i am francesca, and today i am going to take you to discover 5 interesting stories about point to vecchio. the bridge behind me. the old bridge has spanned the owner river in
