introduce the instrument to a broader public. ready it's one of the world's easiest instruments to learn. the simplest through cards are g major and c major g major is you put the 1st finger on the 2nd front of the 2nd string. and this fingered on the 1st spring on the 3rd from one spring up. and you have a c major court. the vi tom makes appearances the world over not only as a musician, but as an ambassador and advocate for a long under appreciated instrument. the i am on a mission to bring that mangling, you know, in the front stage, i think partly because it's suffered, offer kind of a little bit of

a bad reputation or bad connotations throughout the history of music. is a sweet instrument, extremely capable. not in any way under any of the other instruments that they know the in a library, you can borrow and read books. but can books tell us as much as people can in the danish capital. copenhagen, there is something called a human library that invites you to listen and ask questions. here's how it works. a. i'm a blind thought. i'm a social work, a book. i'm a changed into none by an area, but in modified. i'm here in copenhagen in denmark at the world's 1st over human

library. now this is a place where you can come and borrow people instead of books and hear their story . so let's find out which books are available today. the human library was founded in the year 2000 in copenhagen as a safe place to discuss the subjects that otherwise might be uncomfortable, were considered taboo. in casual conversation was that from that there are 6 books available today. and these are some of the topics that we can discuss now. i'm going to start by borrowing a blind fuck fleming baptist and wasn't born blind. he gradually lost his eye sight over the years. a story. he's not afraid to share. somebody ask me. i have always been blind. well, i could tell a story about who is to pay it blind and the story about to have the notion of the 1st to you to a news of my life and laid i kid on the total blindness. people don't think

a lot of files to be blind, how profit of magic it couldn't be. okay. and how does the dog help you that helped me to find the all step to seats? it also helps me to go from a to be in a right temple, because if i only use my white sticks to take pelvis, as long as if i use my dog. this is how the library works. visitors come on the weekend and choose from the list of available, so called books. then there introduced to their book and have 30 minutes to sit down and chat with that specific person about their chosen topics. both parties can break up the conversation at any time if they feel uncomfortable. ronnie abigail sound of the human library 23 years ago here in co taken and now operates and 85 countries worldwide. well, i wanted to create a safe space where we could explore diversity,

challenge our unconscious bias and basically mean people. we thought we might have something again. so we don't like a we're, we're not socially, you know, certain about. and just really find out what's going on, who are, you know, i'm going to borrow a non binary transgender of around addresses. personal questions about gender as well as body modification, which some people might find intimidating. i've heard from a lot of people that they are a little bit afraid of me. last time i was hearing their reading garden, have 3 conversation and all 3 said if i were just to walk past you on the street, i wouldn't be a little bit afraid. was really that was like less money. okay. office fix openly about being born a biological female, but choosing a non binary identity after transitioning the thing, the best thing you can ever experience is talking to somebody you don't really

understand when i sit in front of somebody and we just, i'm on the surface. don't think we have anything in common. that's the most interesting conversation in half. because if you just read a book, you can, you can search the side face of what part of things you want to read and how seriously you want to take it. but when i'm here in front of you and we have, i can check then you see that i'm a nice person. you want to listen to me more than just reading a book. visitors can also seek advice from the books as a social worker and know how to help the people i'm working with the families. i work with maintenance my perspective. i've been myself in the system from when i was born. so i know what the people i am hell, thing thinks about being in the system. visitors reactions are positive. iphone.

it's really interesting. there are many different books that you can read. i learned i learned a lot and we don't know their lives. i think it's very important to have these like safe space so people can get to each other. and it's also nice because maybe you then have the opportunity to meet people really different from you and like your daily life. and i think it's super important as a project for me i have experience to really get really deep thawing so. so a topic i would, nobody never touched. so for me to talk with the postman sort of stand, what is going on behind a person's mind, and how could i menu me that was to show the biggest amount of his picnic to so how does one qualify to become a book? well, i think that's a good book and we can library somebody who really has faced bias and stigma and prejudice. and can help us better understand the group in the community that they represent. the subjects or books to change from week to week to keep readers coming back for more interesting discussion. overall,

i've been very impressed with my experience here at the human library because to tell you the truth, i probably wouldn't have the chance to borrow such books or meet such people in my daily life. and it also reminded me that you can never judge a book by its cover if you're traveling to the u. k. don't just see london. you might be surprised to hear that manchester in northern england was recently included in the list of the world's best travel destinations. for 2023, we wanted to find out if a trip to the former industrial city is really worth it. welcome to manchester, the northern industrial city that is probably most well known for its football, or for the fact that it's because musical legends like oasis and the stone roses. but the cities, industrial heritage means is not exactly famous for its beauty and therefore isn't usually on everyone's travels bucket list. however,

it's the only you case that you need to be named one of the places to be in 2023 by both lonely planet national geographic. i'm here today, it's 5 that if that's really the case, i'll be checking at some of the places mentioned by lily planet, national geographic as well as so mind communion institutions. so let's get going. i'm starting act with a wonder through the on coach district, which was once the beating heart of the cities industry. my gestures payments for being the 1st industrialized city in the world, and was the case leading producer of kaufman and tech styles during the industrial revolution. nowadays on coats is one of the coolest districts in the city with lots of upcoming restaurants, cassie's in bars. manchester is one of your at the fastest growing cities, but it seemed even more redevelopment than usual since the pon demik. there seemed to be individual projects being set up all over the city. this big white building over here is under construction right now,

so we kind of getting closer to what it says to open in june as a major, our space and cultural ha. so this is east development hasn't just seen about new building. creating more green spaces has been at the heart of the cities grove. mayfield park is manchester, as far as our city center public park. and it was designed as an urban escape. the you can see that they really made an effort to preserve manchester's industrial parts in the midst of this huge, beautiful green space unique to the city, i guess time for some more culture sands on the wall as manchester's oldest license music venue. and it just recently reopened again last year after undergoing some major refurbishments. manchester has always had a thriving college receipt,

especially when it comes to music. i me thing santana gatewood to find out more about had the city sheets, the music scene here. the why do you think my sister has been such a hot spot for music? it's always be like trying to read the fine. it's of lots of the i why things happening. i think that's why the music came from like, and also the influence has to came into the city. so we've always had quite a big immigration of influx of, from the irish and folks back in the days to yeah. to the south asian influx to, to, to make an influence on that. so there's always been kind of something going on in manchester which influenced the music. and i think you can hear it and that full. and i think that for the great music that came out and a great artist that came out of my chest, now i'm heading to my final stuff of the day to launch is. so would it be complete

that vincent, one of the famous cross here by some of defining stress here in the world, it is freed right here in manchester. so a trip to the marble arch and it seems like the perfect end to my day is welcome. thank you. so is it here that you guys have here? is it all locally brewed through data initially stored in the cream of where the kitchen is now in just a very, very tiny and it's a positive popularity demand group. we needed to pick pharmacists. so with that right away, arch from the corner from the hub. 5 hiring and the waves as possibilities and manchester operating out, was it just use right away? ok. we was invested with the well, i have to say i've been live at least surprised by manchester. it might not be as useful as some other cities, but this definitely a vi

a been an atmosphere here. a lot of other places just don't have just the alternative seen as well. you're saying manchester is definitely decision for you now for a mouth watering chip delicious dishes such as to last rice or my fe or typical of west african cuisine and rarely found on the menu in europe and restaurants. but in london is a coco restaurant. you can now enjoy specialties from west africa underscore may level this may be the most elegant sheila for ice north of africa. on some groove, lots to, to go with it. what's the story behind the or cruising version of this west african traffic? normally turned off wouldn't be saved in a hand across to ceramic bowl like that and smoking, christy rice and whatever is just that solid interpretation of what you know

childhood is you know where you eat that rice and as cool a bit of the time. but then it's like crusty uncharted smoke use the rest of a coco has been typing up the london restaurant scene with some newsletter since 2020 west african catholics. fine dining levels are introducing west and pallets to a new kind of area, etc. so our approach to the way that we took our foods here is we can take, you know, forensic classics methodology, classic dishes. and then we refine it. i use uh, you know, from my background on modern techniques and a lot of progressive ways of cooking. it just sort of really intensify the flavors and not cease with us throughout the whole of the profound a g. i could call me a cocoa is a dream come true. he grew up in nigeria before coming to london to study and later

especially the travel is a go back to nigeria visiting the st. mock is the legal bar on law kitchen london. are you uh, they gave me fine spices that are less familiar in europe like spicy and fishy grains of paradise. all grains of sin named a type of like spice from senegal and kind of go gets many ingredients unavailable in europe directly from produce the countries a is a bit of a struggle to kind of source those specialist spices for us the significance to uh, west african food, we work very closely with these guys to ensure that we get the best quality spices to start as and secondly, that these are the specific to the cuisine that we're featuring. the mega stuff west african cuisine is to lot fries and it takes them to stage on a packers menu to they then spice up the rice with a test source. the sources might have felt it is onions. gus, fun, it should east of spices. here they spend hours concentrating it into

a paste. this can either be took out of a fire in place or cook, or even baked. so in the restaurant, hey, we cost this to ensure consistency. the rise to sit with drill scottish lobster along with the source entering made of parents. finally, the deluxe rise to smoke, to be the face of this restaurant and uh, you know, showcase the city that we did. hey, this is trudy and on. we want to embrace our culture and we want to educate people and say, know showcased this wonderful kazi, and we would love to see a coca cola. i'm not the only person that's experienced to offer. i see that from my mom. you know, i want the well to see bias,

stephanie killed guests. what the french artist, phones, plants and creatures out of clay, and lets them populate and even overpower trash produced by humans. a warning to humanity off for sure can help question the world. i'm glad we live in. and in a way that is much more visceral then documentary can be like, usually off work, it's conscious you emotionally and not the collect truly. and i feel like that is um, what is most important to know stephanie co gust studied architecture as a child. she loved making minutes just scope because she's been creating her discarded objects. pieces since 2017 and people loved them. she's got hundreds of
