[000:00:00;00] ah ah ah, ah, one false step here could have fatal consequences, but that didn't stop my colleague actual cream of easy from venturing down an old mine. we'll hear more about his daring experience later on in the show. i really want to welcome to another edition of your o max with me, your host, megan lee. here's a look at what else we've got coming up. we discover how one race has gone to the dogs in norway and look at how the french favorite dish rather to eat

is made. but 1st, we like to reflect on a more serious topic. one year ago, the lives of many people in europe changed dramatically as russia invaded ukraine. at the beginning of the war, we highlighted the lives of 2 artist and a travel guide who were facing an uncertain future. well, we caught up with them again now to hear how they've managed, even as the fighting rages on in their country. oh, oh gosh, own this is ukrainian, sing it tamala, in the center of kia recently she was the 2016 winner of the eurovision song contest singing these lines during her moving performance piece is called 1944 and

tells the story of her great grandmother who was deposed by the soviets these days . germano, as the one fling from wool along with her family, she rarely visits her home country. i don't remember what it means to be saved, to be com, to become in the future. my family and my friends are always in your grade, so i'm constantly worried about them to logically existing for us. now, one year ago, on the 24th of february, russia talked to ukraine since then, many parts of the country have been plagued by destruction, suffering and death. mm. and then dentist kind of chips have played his cello in front of the ruins and his home city of hockey. the clips went viral and became iconic images of the walls outbreak. nobody soon left ukraine

himself. and he has been putting on concepts to collect funds for his home country . his current cleaned it's laying in since the day i live in the travel of a form, the more than 45 concepts with 7 different different qualities. and so look, concepts in the europe, countries and united states. i know i'm in a safe place, but every day i think about my friends and relatives and my home town, which is still under enemies attack. and the war is still going in natalia blessing, who did not consider leaving the country. she was popular to god in a desk before the war. but there is no longer any tourism in ukraine. now she offices services to the international media as an interpreter. i wish this word to

stop as soon as possible, not to have any losses, no more casualties, normal more victims, no more distractions. and also i have home. i really one believe that justice work. all the creamy knows can be punished and will be able to leave ukraine to have normalize, need our own countries because language, cherish our culture and leave here where we were born. because we are screen, we are the premiums. we simply want peace and we want to live on our home. and we certainly hope for a peaceful outcome. soon. we turn our attention now to europe's longest dog sled race, which takes place every year in norway, while participants spend up to 6 days. crossing 1200 kilometers of rugged terrain. while the race is unique because of the length and the climate conditions,

we accompanied it to mushers for a glimpse into their experience. 1200 kilometers through the north of norway above the arctic circle. mar at b, auto casino, and her 14 dogs are here to win this challenging race. so the indian men and women compete on equal footing in the rise. 3 fin mock. it's all about the dogs. they are the real heroes of this competition. i've had my ah, world boundaries, just 200 kilometers north of oslo. the intense training is underway. journalist and dog breeder market. they ought to cassini and her partner, susanna have taken time off, work to prepare. so that type of dog will use this alaska husky. and the sob breeds that is only bread for running qualities like they can look whatever they want to look like. they can be black or white around.

it doesn't mother. the only quality will look for is that the ability to run and to on long and to recover fast. in the weeks leading up to the race, the experienced musher or sled driver trains under race conditions every day with her team of 14 dogs, all bred by her a few weeks later they arrive in trims and thin mark norway's northernmost region, then marks lower pe, this europe's most important dogs lead race when they prepare their teams, special attention is given to lead dogs. if brown one is b and he is my main lead there, i very much. he knows how to find the trail and do. it takes a lot of good, good choices. so i 1st came, a last piece is says, so he's a young man and he's a very intense dog or delta m and t

b. then comes the check up by the vet. all dogs are examined before and during the race time. husky lisa to your high and the so stephanie? yes to, to go and then with the race last week and the teams cover more than 1200 kilometers in 12 stages. this year's competition has 34 mushers with a randomly assigned starting order mar at the auto casino starts. as number 13, the 1st stage spends 130 kilometers in the dead of night. the teams arrive at the 1st checkpoint, encounter quino with the rising sun mar at theater is an 18th place,

or dogs will have to pick up the pace to when i 1st was. so i run this route, not, not me, start with that night or the more and then you'd be done with me after 5 days and more than 870 kilometers. she has climbed to 9th place, but many of her dogs are now struggling with muscle and joint pain, but i tried to see the injurious or the pain before it gets too painful. so i can, can i drop them before it? it gets sir. a bad situation for the day before embarking on the 10th and 11th stage of the race, martin piazza cassini has only 10 dogs pulling her sled. but on the way to lever york, the weather in the mountains worsens. and when it turns into

a full blown snowstorm, the race is canceled. i don't know what to say if, of course, very disappointing for us and all that seems to have been working so hard to get to best of them. i wanted to give to those this finish line experience. but we tried to made it, make it him. i think they are happy. as mar at b, i took a scene and her dogs embark on their long drive home. one thing is certain, she will be back for another go at europe's longest dog sled race. one adventure of another kind can be found in the middle of germany at an old mine, for decades. a so called ladder of death carried miners deep into a very narrow shaft, while it's now a protected site and only available to trained workers. but my colleague axle prima facie was allowed to give it

a try and it turned out to be the ultimate test of his endurance. this shot is 200 meters deep and the only very small step. there's no security harness, rope or anything. so one wrong step and i might die. i'm on the road in the hot smoke. mia, this reservoir is the cool was amazon in the small town of sunk under the aspect in the state of louis saxony. hey, i'm accepts him of easy and i'm in a former mind in the middle of germany. and inside this mind chef, there's a mechanism to bring me down. and i want to find out why it's called the letter of

death makes to me is that i've tank it. he uses this thing all the time. i. i, if i why is this called the letter of death? ah, wendy park. well, when you're driving, but up, yeah, the steps are coming to want to you and you switch far. you half a little molten is 2nd to step over the phone. we were starving. and then if you don't make it ramos and you couldn't afford to, and that could be fatal obstacles. cable to the perfect when miners descend into the mind, they call it driving dis . mine's became deeper in mind as needed more time to dissent mine shafts. this led to the development of the man engine. it's kind of scary because you

really have to find some kind of rhythm to look for the next handle. and then in the exact right moment, step over on the next step it's, it's some kind of very new experience because it's really dark. and it's very narrow. on the world's only men engine that is still in operation. i called almost 200 meters down into the depth. in the past, this 2 cable construction was more than 700 meters long. i survived the 1st part of my journey down here, safe and sound. and in a way, you just have to forget that you rely on your hands and on your feet. and on these 2 rooms, the out of driving has existed to years since $1837.00, the shaft of the gorb,

isms on is anything but vertical. the reason is quite simple. it follows the vain of the precious metals that were mind here. therefore, it would not half work without steel ropes. these have been invented shortly before very close by. this meant that the miners no longer had to climb down into the depth with letters of alice. and why is the man and, and actually still in operation today? the fog of the man engine is still in operation for the very simple reason that at a depth of 130 and 100. my 90 meters. there are 2 hydro electric power plants that are operated by us and we go in twice a week with the man engine and to machine checks. the trend here is being replaced with shivered also. well, why? because i don't know from below, it's already rotting some atom about a lesson. we had seen that during the last machine inspection the 100 years. and that's when we take immediate action. see, hi, simply a matter of safety. we don't want any one to fall off. the work is done,

everything's fine down here. but now this, the trickiest part, i have to get back up again, nearly 200 meters with a man machine again. so cross your fingers for me. mm hm. okay, getting up this company, different thing. yeah, you can't really see the next handle coming. and i mean, now i spend like, i don't know, 23 hours here in the cold and with all the humidity. so it's got to be a tough right back. this unique industrial monument is now

a unesco word heritage site ha, ha ha. so i'm, i'm back on earth safe and sounds so this is been really a tough, right. i mean, it was really a great experience, but i don't want to do this every day every other day. so my grid is respectful of, out of, in all these colleagues who do this very regularly, who i'm just happy to be here again, hatton up. and he certainly don't, deserves a hearty meal after that adventure and perhaps a tasty dish from france will do the trick. rather too, he is a mixture of stewed fresh vegetables originally from the south of france, which is where and culinary expert shared her special method on how to prepare it.

and one of the best known dishes in france, and it's pretty healthy too, with the real cornucopia vegetables, rutted to he is the favorite dish of this color, mary expert, and she's going to give us a great recipe. mm hm. i love her attitude. i eat rather to prowl in the summertime, at least 5 times a week. my favorite thing about rights to is that it can be syrup with almost anything. it can be vegan vegetarian, or it can be cirque with me. i'm victoria told out of sca, i write about food, i'm a cock, and today i'll show you how to make rat a to a one of the specialties of nice, nice is situated on the mediterranean coast in provence, from it said that russia to his origins can be traced back to here. it was 1st served and the 18th century. victoria told her, oscar teaches classes that a culinary school where russia to eat is one of the top recipes. and what makes it so popular is that it uses all of the things that everybody here grows in their

backyards, and it's kind of the flavor of the era. these are the ingredients with victoria to the rav scott gets her vegetables at the market. it's open 6 days a week. the warm and dry climate of provence means regional products are available here almost all year round. with respiratory is all about ingredients, so you want to get the freshest ripest ingredients you can because that's what gives the flavor. so the 1st step is just to clean the vegetables and then chopped them in more or less equal size pieces. that way, they will all, when you take a bite of rats a to eat, you're getting

a taste of each vegetable well sent aggressor to he is made with trumpets zucchini . this is that gotcha. that only grows in nice and in a small portion of italy. next to the border and its firmer in texture and stronger in flavor than regular. she roughly dices the red onion. and chops up the garlic. soup is small. the egg plans comes nah, st. because it turns brown fast. once you cut it up with bresser to it always starts with what is a key ingredient in nice like cooking and that extra virgin olive oil. you never put egg plant in cold oil because if you do, the eggplant will soak up all of the oil and it will be heavy. and then you'll have to keep adding more oil. and she says it's very important to cook and season each vegetable separately. i personally a like to salt each ingredients separately, because then when you combine them,

everything is correctly fault. so one still missing will add either crushed tomatoes in the summer or tomato sauce in the winter. and then we'll keep ads at really low temperature for about 5 to 7 minutes to tomato sauce. we'll bring them together and that's what makes raptor to rewrite it to that is perfect with this visible dish can be served hot or cold and as a side dish to fish only. and victoria to that, off sca has a special tip. she recommends making a rotted to beget sandwich with guts, cheese, grateful picnics. malcolm's the real test in gwinnett. gwinnett. pity

ah, to me this rapidly proves that you can make it at any time of year. and if you choose good ingredients, it reminds you of summer and sunshine in good weather and the bees. ah. and finally we shed some light on the business of handmade chandeliers. now, most chandeliers are produced to buy machines because making them the traditional way is too expensive, but there are a handful of companies were still dedicate themselves to the craft. and one is the viennese company, lo maya, which has been making chandeliers for more than 170 years. ah, just a few finishing touches then it's complete. the starburst chandelier is load my as most famous item all over the world. this renowned viennese companies,

chandeliers transform ordinary rooms into ballrooms. the manufacturer has a reputation for its extraordinary lighting designs, $200.00 of which are sold in more than 40 countries. every year. the company has been hand crafting chandeliers, since 1850. so beautiful. the team is united by a passion for croft. this one is perfect, least up me talking. i've always been fascinated by light. we used additional craft tank legs and then we have the light. so there's a lot of variety to our work is surface affects longer. ready o mathias high chart builds of frame for the chandelier and then makes the pipe fittings wash record or the pieces of pipe by cars or used for the chandelier in that for the beams. and also for the pipes, for the elimination. all of her to are slight on. ready after being cut to size,

the pieces are firmly attached together. for example, in this dep cold, grazing them, the services are finished elsewhere. afterwards they go to eric, marvel, he is responsible for the assembly and the electrical parts. oh, all the cable connections are discreetly hidden in the chandelier sphere. once the frame is finished, the work begins on hanging crystals. this particular piece consists of 16 lamps and about 500 glass stones. they lost her vehicle a chandelier way, 16 kilograms. and it will be shipped to the united states. that's also a challenge for us. mm hm. because we export a lot, we always had to meet the specific electrical requirements for that country. matthew integrated the electric former atmosphere, the says that made the right in sockets for that control and the wiring,

hobble everything has to fit the regulations of that country for, for the which the woman doesn't play in london, it will definitely be a lot easier if we could just put wax candles on each one. they would work everywhere. before the chandelier goes out to the customer. the boss has one last look, the, the, we'll do a safety tests for the u. s. to morrow emma done more than this one has really turned out beautifully. the company has high profile customers all over the world. star interior designer, ferris, we're fully wooded accustomed sized starburst chandelier for canadian rappa drake. he supervised the installation at dregs luxury mansion in toronto. along with the team from lope maya de la stuffer these in the chandelier we made for drake was this model. this is what it is. literally larger, at 3.8 meters hours, but i me, the, i think,

and it's the 2nd largest chandelier of its kind next to the original, at the metropolitan opera in new york or by new york. the original was designed in vienna, in the 1960s for the metropolitan opera house in the 19th century log. my decorated king ludwig du seconds had in teams a castle in southern germany lobe. my a chandeliers also decorate one of the small ballrooms in vienna's imperial palace . the whole spoke, as well as the auditorium of the vienna state opera, and to the athens concert hole. to loose the east for them, a chandelier is a grand object for ruby hash, and the pail and i have a very dominant part of the architecture. even all these is key, but it is just that one detail needed to complete the overall assemblage. upshaw least oh that one detail comes at a price. the cost of

a viennese chandelier starts in the $5.00 digit range. and from there, the skies, the limit, fine craftsmanship for an exclusive clientele. ooh. and that wraps up today's show. as always, i want to thank you all of our loyal viewers for joining us, all of these year's euro max is going to have a new look from next week on so you won't be seeing me or the rest of us in the studio anymore. but we will continue to bring you lots of exciting stories from around europe in
