as some young children walk in mind, charles, instead of going to class others can attend classes. after they finish the millions of children, the world of chance go to school we ask why? because education makes the world a more just make up your own mind. w made for minds when the sun doesn't set it's time to celebrate at the st. john's festival in lance . yeah. it's lonely at the top. we don't cover some of the mysteries behind most semi show in france. and what comes 1st cream for jam? joining us for traditional cream t in the south of england, all this en,

more coming upon your own macs the . but 1st we start with a record breaker. germany's tallest man, john and konica can't just drive any car for buy clothes off of just any rack. we take a closer look at how he navigates daily life. germany's tallest man stands at a statuesque, 2 meters 25 or 7 feet and $38.00 inches. so what's it like being janik konica? in this video, you'll find answers to the most frequently asked questions. we made down to get home. what do you see really 2 meters? 25 tall. we measure him, but our reporter is too short. and she suggest switching places with

a camera man who gives it a shot. he has a better chance at one meter 98, the results, 2 meters, 25. so it's true. 22 year old janik lives near hanover. he can fit through any standard door or into any normal car and ready made clothes had been too small for him for 10 years or added to them. so yeah, that's difficult to say actually only have custom made t shirts since what is what i can still buy, travis, actually, there's still one or 2 shots then by the end, exactly, one shop, a 3 hours drive from hanover stock shoes and his size several studies have shown that consuming milk stimulates growth as a child. janik did in fact lead up to 24 yogurts entry 12 liters of milk

a week that kind of humid off. and so the calorie requirement is always measured according to weight and size on the when you install your automatically carrying around a set number of kilo's steps auto plaza. in fact, i'm on a died at the moment and can or shoot on the 8 between 200-2500 calories a day. kind of give me a name. that's no more than an average man consumes that just under one meter. 80. as a just virtue of things and don't mind them. well, i tend to think it's a normal language mitchell. i've also checked if life expectancy is higher or lower, i guess nowadays with motor medicine, i should probably live to the same age as someone who's on it to me just told it was 5 minutes. i was there are studies that show that taller people have a shorter life expectancy, but it also depends on other factors. janik works out regularly, but the hard training isn't just for the sake of his health.

douglas, i do i choice. of course the tool this jasmine is one thing about the tool, this body builder in the world would be a totally different number by off. so if the current title holder is to me, it is a team. so who knows if i keep up the training maybe in 2 or 3 years, i'll get that. then i wouldn't just be the total this coast and in germany, but also the total is bunny builder in the well the american robert whitelow was the tallest person ever at 2 meters 72. now however, the turk sultan cruise on is considered the tallest person currently alive at 2 meters, 51, a 9 to are triggered his excessive growth. how tall a person can grow is also a genetic predisposition or part of that. but my father is 196 and my mother is 193 and timeline says he

is kind of not i don't have a girlfriend. and so i don't usually have any priorities concerning the height of a few to girlfriend characters. more important. and what's also very difficult as being in the public eye on not everyone can handle that as soon as customers. but in the meantime, it's my life about and i'll be saying, okay, people, yes, of course we can take a photo. we can do that. yes or tomorrow because of all of his projects, as germany's tallest person, janik dropped out of his training as a plan mechanic. now he's focusing on his social media career. he's pretty successful, especially on tick tock. also, guys, what do you say? do you think i could drive the car?

i inclusive stuff showing up, so the plan is to exploit the size thing professional link to the point that one day we're talking with. film rolls for the advertising rose to some brands or advertising deals, or vision box, whatever for values. he garner is attention and income through social media, but that's not all. it's helped his self esteem as well. in terms of how much of those be bullying and stupid comments in the past joined the baby and the like a but i think it may be that had to happen to make me land today towards the dab. and there's been a fun fact to end on younique's bike at least is not custom made. but for an average sized woman, it's still gigantic and getting onto it is nearly impossible. our reporter is still too small, but at least she's on a level with janik. well, more or less in northern europe, the summer solstice keeps the skies bright for almost 24 hours. and for some, this is a time to celebrate in latvia revelers mark the occasion with

spirits and negative energy at base and especially gathered from the forest. whatever the weather, the feast of saint john is always celebrated outside. that's why it's important to have enough wood for the cans plant. it burns through the night and keeps the celebrants warm and awake. no falling asleep here because that could bring bad luck . even the little ones potty all night long. the shortest night and left the is also a unique experience. most of the show in normandy is in mystery. its construction alone is perplexing. a monastery perched the top of a steep crag in the middle of a bank, only reachable at low tide. it's a unesco world heritage site, and one of france's most popular destinations. it looks like a movie sent, but this island actually exists. you'll find a norman de france, mom's. i'm a show,

as it's called, is a social media sensation. font doesn't live up to the hype and all you. oh wow. it's many secrets. yeah, it's like, wow, how did they build is maybe good. there's a get seemingly built on thing that, that i'm of an echo in the building is beautiful. the way it was built with a wall already around it. without the roots, you can see is when a while since when stealing lights are way you can see which hill it's open. it's just unbelievable. most i'm a shell and was one of the most difficult construction projects at the middle ages . and when visiting today, it can get very dangerous, but more on that light to those who do arrive unscathed, can discover many secrets of guide. and yeah, they are most sense in all 9 years and those keys i'm going to show you, chris, thank you. come across the 2 kilometer long bridge to the island at low tide by

thoughts or shopping boss. around $3500000.00 visitors come here every year, so it can get pretty crowded nights it is to come january or december. so it gets very, very quiet. you feel like almost alone in the village, and you can also utilize the landscaping and impulse insides as well, which is a fight to fix section of this is the west terrace where you'll find the abbey church entrance. it was built on this hill from the 11th century on, with many buildings are built all stacked on top of each other out today, jesus back in the day to tulsa believe how they've been such buildings on the mount here. i will send, you said, is like a, a roll key code or something like a pyramid. we are almost on the summit at 18 inches above the sea level. try to

imagine we have a system of flat boats, according to the tides. those a mid, even the death bro. all the construction that tell years on those floods, both, both she's actually from different places of normandy, even from england. there's a huge height difference between low and high tide in the bags. sometimes by as much as 14 meters at low tide, you can walk to the island across the title plants. but it's best to go with a guided group. otherwise it can get dangerous. don't venture, they assess until the day because in the past even quite depressed and see if i can to get stuck in the bed because of those quick sens. and you have still a big propulsion of water inside gets like a soaking effect. the tide is coming in show low. if you can't get out of those, you know,

potentially quick sense that could be to interest me. shout. abby combines romanesque and gulf economy tanked, and there were plenty of secrets waiting to be discovered. yes. but 1st, i'm leads us to the store and now he said passage that to everybody gets the seat next and we're gonna go higher in city of the the so we are now on the terrace of the quiet of the church. these flying buttresses are typical of coffee cock attacked and the dog, carrying weight on the outside. one of them is actually a passage way. this is here. this on a flying buttress. the lace staff case like lace dissolving

into the granite. and that's for space to back into the did ages here. so you have actually here almost to the top of the mount. uh the only access to the bed tower to is he on the left and finally left, hinges, stoplight it on the very top. used also as a lightning road protecting against the potential. the storm was lightning here because that's what goes big damages. in the past, a 1000 years ago, benedictine monk slipped t as a many centuries. today, the island is mainly a tourist attraction. but in the middle ages, schools of pilgrims brought to the island. the cas want a few monks and nuns actually still live here today. actually 5 most and 7 loans all together with. and that having are services 3

times a day, it's like a the convention french government to do services instead. and in exchange, they have a place called in a private, obviously. and lastly time to reveal mon, sammy shells. doc is secret. to isolation sells the lock up, particularly serious offenders from the french revolution. until the year 1863. the abbey was used as a prison he can see here, descriptions of the prison as at stacy, a full blown blown. howard was a long days of detention. some of the prison system in different places. imagine how fully twice to

stay here, the march of what has happened on the island over the different sentries is yet to be researched and some things will remain forever unknown. and so the most i, michelle remains a deeply mysterious place the in the u. k. there are many traditions surrounding food and food etiquette. and one involves cream cheese. you may think this is simply cream in your tea, but a visit to southern england taught us much more about this. british pay for it. the queen size desperately. the job, korea jumped cream, say, and then this is the age old question. when it comes to cream team, a british institution, that is loved everywhere in the u. k. hi, my name's lindsay,

and then i'm from way of his cottage take alden and today i'm going to show you how we make the cream t came in devon. and if you don't know what that is, well, it's a light meal consisting of flooded cream, fruit jam, and a freshly baked scum. ingredients, the scones is very basic and those include salt, baking powder, vanilla extract, sugar, butter, lemon, milk, and flour. step one, the dry ingredients, flour and so into the bowl. with baking powder. step 270 codes lotsa, which you chopped into the phone. mix it together to foam, very falling, but crumbs. step 3, shut out. met with will meal milk

on to them. no. can you add a squeeze of lemon juice? and then you would add one teaspoon of another extra to the milk as well. and then you start to add 2 milk. yes and gradually add your medicaid and the time. because what you don't want to do is make those mixed up as a wet step for you also need a cookie cutter like this to cut your day with once the dough is thinking ready, it's time to cut it into individual stones and put them in the oven for 10 minutes at 220 degrees celsius or until the tops are comb brown. the most important condiment is the clotted cream. but what is that exactly? salted cream is a thick cream made with full milk. having the k, we don't make it, we just go to the shop and buy it in any type of supermarket. it tastes like

buttery weaving to create. there's also a longstanding arguments about the pronunciation of skunk. so i called at the school. my husband paused. so like some of the natives needs as well. home ice cream cheese can be enjoyed at any time of day. what's your favorite teen and not coffee here in devon county. unlikely. cornwall locals put the cream on 1st and then jam. but on suspecting brits tells a different what's 1st for joe who have no idea why that was i would say john, i recognized for you. ok he did. he got it. he got it. type really totally different . yeah, the so our blind taste testing was inconclusive.

jammed 1st or cream 1st, really doesn't matter. in the, in this british treat is delicious. either way, the next step we travel back in time to examine the history of the spartans. to find out more about this infamous warrior society, we travel to the peloponnesian peninsula, situated in the south of modern day greece. there you can still find many traces of spartan culture, most notably their language, which residents strive to keep a live sparta legendary place in the southern peddler ponies. the ancient city state was once the most formidable military force in the greek world, protected by the teacher, twist and turn on mountain regions. sparta wished like a fortress. it's been almost a part of an i'm your max reporters here durham mecropolis. today, i'm following the traces of the spartans who lived here over 3000 years ago,

last time we were the only thing that today's part as a group town with just over 16000 residents. but the history of the age of spartans is everywhere. statutes of scar, this heroes can be found all over the city. the most famous is not a king, not just the 1st, who ruled in the 5th century b. c, and fell in the bottom left or modeling in the 2nd person more. outside the city center didn't between all the trees by the remains of ancient sparta. the income on hard on the smith date, there's not much to be seen as a spartan. mine is the one thing has survived here at the millennium, but it was 3rd language in the southern. california is people still speak psycho in the language of spartans on saw. so i'm going there to coney and it's a dialect. it's now only spoken by a few 100 residents and the laconia and arcadia regions. it has its origins and the ancient greek dialect, dorian,

which is wise aconia and sounds very different to modern greek. keeping to coney and from dying out his teacher, panos americans, his goals. interesting that i lost that to him if you grew up with 2nd in what does it feel like to speak such an ancient language? yeah, maybe they can use them believe, to be honest, i wasn't really conscious of it to them because is it was my mother tongue and i use it every day. so i'm from the moment i found out that i speak one of the oldest languages around. i was very proud and i absolutely want to keep this language alive. ethical family, who else? i'm a very lucky in the coast, the village of key hall panos my masters teaches to coney into children, youths and adults today it's the youngsters turn the as he understand, the grief heard really well because i speak greek. if i didn't call it,

i don't stand a child. the children have good reason to learn the dialect. i likes earnings to connie and because my grandma and grandpa speak it, now i can understand what they're saying, get the system as we do these things. now we know how to start in october about or what do they start increasing to start to be quite simple. i'm on my way to discuss the northwest of sparta there, of arrange to meet with the chef, have to call my child restaurant, who's going to prepare a real spartan's specialty for me. hopefully not the infamous blood soup. hello. why should i be worried about eating the blood soup? no, don't worry. what luck? no blood. just a variation on

a well known greek dish. each party. yeah. so the story of this dish has its origins and ancient spartans along the copying the finance, or some of those have been, i mean, the greeks wanted to eat something up with, give them strength. m c, v, a. it's a combination for fluids and vinegar. gave them the energy to fight well very well, this meant nipple. he developments gastronomy gives us the chance to interpret the various components in a contemporary way above the. here the park is cured, the vinegar is replaced by fermented cracked. we called trough enough in nevada saving lives another from now i'm very excited to give it a try. it's my me. sorry i missed your phone. i'm 12. i know this the 2nd 10 minutes from the truck. i know it makes it taste great. it's a little strong, i'm submission to hit all the ancient spartans much traces which luckily can still
