nicholas is a very popular figure in the netherlands at christmas time, but in recent years, his helper pete has cost fears. controversy across the country is depiction has been criticized as racist as a result. changes to pizza, parents are starting to take place. it's the time of year when many children eagerly await saint nicholas for centre class, as he is known here the night before december 6th. it's customary for him to bring well behaved children presence, but he doesn't travel alone. he's accompanied by as controversial help are named pete more on him in a minute. but why are they steaming into port in late november the level of our 2nd . so we have a little time to prepare by checking which children to be known to you. and also to make sure pete to and have any problems claiming safely onto the roof, was trying to help with that. yeah, and i was just making sure everything is in order, so we can feel the kids shoes. we can be right to the for

a long time. we also go over all the wish list. so we know who's guessing what present. oh yeah, the field of the road up here in sand. um, just north of amsterdam. excitement has been building for this years. arrival of center cloud page plays an important role in the festivities. usually several people show up to head presence out to the children. according to legend, they even climbed down chimneys to do so. but in today's netherlands, the figure has become controversial because of his origin and background. he used to be called saw to pete or black pete portrayed by white people and black face, with the red lips, gold earrings, and a curly black wig. for over a decade, artist, an activist quincy garzo has campaigned against black pete. what you see with the figure is that it's a clear sign of colonial makalya and also colonial style. just because what we understand with disfigure is the practice of telling black people what the place is in society, and the place is to serve white people. the origins of black pete's now

controversial form can be traced back to the mid 19th century. at the time, the netherlands was the colonial power that had grown rich from trading with spices, slaves after fused debates between opponents and supporters of the figure. recent surveys now showed that the majority of the dutch people believe black p needs to be changed and invent. um, he's a thing of the past. here you'll only find suitable who might have stains on his face from climbing down chimneys. around 50 volunteers of all ages slip into the role of sooty pete to make the children happy. this revamped version definitely has a secure fan based among the young ones. but how does that go down with parents when i was a little kid and all the people were uh, well, were very black and i didn't know any better. good. uh, i think, uh uh, the way we do it now is respectful to everybody. so,

and the kids online is most of our shows were complete, but for their them, it's disputes. so if the children don't care, then we don't either voice of goldman. hi, slavery wasn't officially abolished in the dutch colonies done till 18. 63, the national slavery monument by evan to freeze in amsterdam commemorates this period. but for quincy, colorado, the debate about pete's appearance signifies a missed opportunity. but i think what we're seeing with these so called solutions is a means, actually not confront this colonial style. jen, it's not a means to actually discuss what are the structures that are still within society that have the origins in the colonial period and this practice and this culture technician is one of them. the debate surrounding black pete is far from over, but it seems that one day the younger generation will only know him as peter, the bringer of sweets and holiday to year. the

berlin philharmonic concert hall is an architectural highlight of the german capital and just celebrating its sixties anniversary this year. put some musicians in concert goers were less than impressed when it originally opened its doors. we went behind the scenes to find out why the shape of berlin skill home on a whole is reminiscent of a giant circus tent. but it's one of the world's most famous concert halls at home to the berlin philharmonic under conductor cute little patricia. the hall is 60 years old, but it isn't showing as age perhaps because it's golden facade. that's what sort of both sides around the time it was built on the dies down you menu and appeared on the market and gave architects a way to provide a building with a durable colored metal skin. you can see it sparkling and gleamed almost like

a jam german architect. tons, children develop the field when he is unique, design. dimitris, looking himself and architect, specializes in the work of hands for room construction on the no, i clinic, concert hall began and 1963 years to complete. the famous architect had achieved a masterpiece, the fitness it is a spiritual focal point for the entire assembling. this because of something that share reading plays the orchestra stage in the center of the hole with the audience seated all around it. listed in 1963. that was something completely new, almost scandalous. who never before had the musician sat in the middle of the hall . i'm surrounded by the viewers and listeners. you see them on the floor until the end. the holes had always been like, shoot boxes, the musicians here and the listeners that clearly separated but use that and

precipio and the, the concept proved innovative and a success for its creator. and over the redistribution of the space ensured that the music to be heard far more intensively from every spot. the kind of lets see no see to in the whole is farther than 30 meters from the podium. do all these elements, the railings, the seat upholstery and the wood on the walls, affect the acoustics if with the visa unmatched, anywhere in the well acoustic diversified, the escalation was even the ceiling couldn't move to the music as it has flexible suspension. the sales and try and goals or new flights of an architect's fancy. they reinforce the interest. it's much like a cello is we didn't body, they transform the concert hall to a vast segment about. 2 the concept of placing the stage in the middle

that's being copied by architects around the world. for example, until to use some tory hole tie ones, national coal from center for the arts and copenhagen's concert tomorrow. and program different of this one includes the dignitaries box, but hardly anyone knows about it. you can barely see it even though it's fully equipped. it has a special entrance and elevator that's a sign on, but the v i p guests generally don't sit up here on these very comfortable chassis, but down with the audience and political among the v, i p guess was the league partition monitoring. queen elizabeth the 2nd in 2004 not many knew about a special feature on the roof, either a sculpture, birdlike with its 2 of sized wings. the

heat for the morning is a functional structure through and through. it's designed for music easily. i've looked here on the roof is a rising unix that han children put that as a symbol of a tunnel ought to fill harmonies. mastermind hun show room once described has worked this way. people space and music enter into a new relationship here and they do. the berlin still armani hall is a master piece of architecture, but even after 60 years has lost none of its fascination the does this cheese look familiar. it's cheddar, of course, one of the most popular cheeses in the world. but do you know where it comes from? we travel towards origins in south west england for a look at howard still made by hand.

this is one of the most widely sold cheeses on the shed. it's made in many countries. but what exactly is so special about this cheese? a good place to find out my will be which it originates, has informed us that a region in southwest in england. what fits cheddar a part of the difficult trunk? the kid is quite tight and i didn't see it showed either way the code is handled and the way it's pressed, the chattering process that makes kind of what it is chattering. this is what it looks like. but we'll take a closer look later on the cheese, terry and somerset still makes chatted the traditional way. so what's the secret of the original just in the basic ingredient, the meal here it comes from cross sped counts is very good for us in some sense,

that sometimes 8 by 18 different branches of gross is in there. and they've got lots advantages in the different groceries will come, immature at different times, the, and some of the herbs in hot as a favor of the cheese. the milk was delivered to west come dairy, it's 6 am. first, as he sits 10 minutes to decide using the yoga culture, cheese make a real power to add to rent an enzyme from the stomach of costs to make cheese out of it. in the right it is an enzyme food. com is it that reacts with the proteins in the middle of the protein thoughts unraveling and joining together. and then we see that it's in the, in the, in the middle and in the set as it, as it forms a gel. decode, is caution 6 wilks and separation from the way. and the remaining liquid is

prestone, and he's been caught some piles up the sheets of could of the end of pressing the moisture out of the hot and the cheats we call the chattering it said 10. it's a would anybody if i say to make is an 8 the light, the glad to was stacking up all of it broke so that we didn't recycle as a slightly higher and as a, as a stretch. and the point is to stretch the stretch. so could squeeze out any moisture that still left in there. and then this brings about so i could to text you and the finish cheese a. a compact did tech stuff by the end of the day, the cheese has been pressed into a round mode and laid on shelves to ripen for 12 to 18 months. the aging facility is designed to recreate the climate at the cool sellers in caves that we use. traditionally, the hot cheese was 1st mentioned in the 12th century in the village of cheddar in

somerset. now only one cheese terry remains the. the today cheese is mostly made industrially. the, the name is not protected. so the various kinds may taste very different. the channels that you buy in a supermarket or that you get abroad that is quite generic. cool. uh, text is different, quite rubbery. um that's not necessarily so creamy not shouldn't sold in various stages of maturity for miles to shop. an extra mature the west come dairies own shop only carries one. but the flavor still varies. with st. romeo and chatter, they were a bit different so different days will have a slightly different pro favorite profile. i mean no cheese is made with

a note from the day that kind of gave it a big chunk of factory. they standardized to move, they get all the notes together because in the supermarket, some faces that they want to product, the taste is very similar every day we want. so i mean, it tastes like a different, everyday even if china is rarely from shadow. this cheese born in the south west of england is enjoyed by cheese lovers around the world. we had now to the mountains of italy were something legit or reinventing themselves. the younger generation no longer wants to live so remotely. so those who do stay need to be creative, are reporter deanna opinion of those tests without an old mountain dwelling. today i was hoping that maybe by the time you're in town, my mattress is made out of well i a slip on put on boards and there is almost no internet connection. the remote being that you sent us the final

in the case of a brute. so about 2 hours drive from rome was about to become a ghost town and to the millionaire, step in to rescue it. let's see how this town has changed for the years and who is actually living here now. at the beginning of the 20 century center of different diseases, sonya was one or the 9th village with about 1500 inhabitants by the better job opportunities in each of these big cities made the many people leave today. only about 100 the residents remain millionaire, then you're like you're getting came across the beautiful village. by chance, she invested some 5 medium neural to revive with setting up an a bed bootiful. so or a scott to, to with drums across the village, daniella canada. and came here for the 1st time in the night is why did you decide to transport the town? yeah, when he came here it was a, in a row to buy bike and uh,

when you arrive the he was falling in love with some of the stuff on the side of it . and so you wanted to give new life and to create these wide some of them. and so, and he started to buy buildings. many of those buildings were impressively well preserved and later incorporate indented vertical difference of projects that launched in 2005. there has to be an excuse to a truck, new residents as well in 2020 santos. they want to come and see the offers to pay a monthly fee to people looking to move here. feeling like a trouble back in time. because these the walls, their own furniture and how it risk everything. here is the hotel officers 30020 cali. restored rooms surprise for 2 people starts at $200.00 euros per night.

almost acquired that the town was converted into a hotel with the theresa motor, a bad good the for. so what exactly is that we are used to see normally the investigating way for best or with the, with the rules. here we are in the old village. so you know, where is it's of weight? we have rooms that are smart apartments with the state in the village in different buildings. everything is a spread out one room here, the other one, the more up there, the here. so for the, for the restoration of the spaces here, you use original materials. tell me about it. yeah. you must know that nothing here is new. ok. we use it recycling materials, especially from vote, as you can see, the floor and the roof. this one is by 7 and it was not the look at on everything

what comes to mind when you think of the beach? probably a vacation by the sea, water, sports or romantic walks at sunset. but what about engines and landing airplanes? we know one place where this happens right on the beach. i love that right in scotland. actually it's not a good idea to take a walk on this. because visit with a page as a runaway things on particularly hectic at this airport. but it sure is unique. that's because the beach is airport, the about an hours travel time from glasgow to find out your head reduced northwest if this condition,

mainland barbara is the largest of the southern islands. and that's where i'm heading now. just getting there is an adventure anticipation of landing on the beach makes me feel like i should be bracing for impact. but as it turned out, touchstone was locked into the next. plains can only land on barrow at low tide. here the flight plan is governed by the types that are made it to the the, the soon after landing the only small aircraft with experience. pilots can navigate unusual conditions tightening. the 1st few things i made, the approach was like that since we are, you know, there's no lights and concrete and thank you for the buildings as just the beach. it's still quite unique. after stepping onto the beach, you move along to a smaller terminal. the deluxe run

a bit different to the i am one of just 11000 passengers who come here every year. but my suitcase, an eye on ready to go to the hotel. first i want to take a closer look at the heart of the airport. the control tower micro galbraith has minutes. the airport for 25 years. it's been in operation since 1936 and even big then it had 3 run ways along the beach. it's the only flat surface of the island. biggest issue that april is snow. you know, contaminant on the runway we award has been tied on this move of the it's moving all the time is either getting bigger is getting smaller and the window version to get into the skin tight at the airport fly. a service checks the f trips between almost every single slot i, john bruce, main se checks for birds needs a spots for anything that may have watched the show,

the to the, to the see marker post. so it lines up the, the 3, the one waiver that i mark a post you can see in the distance there. and so the pilots use it to visualize it one way or one because we don't have markings a light. when the tide rolls in, the landing strips are completely under water that gives me some time to explore the islands. to me, it looks like a hidden paradigm. roughly 1200 people inhabit the islands. most of them breed, kettle, and cheese. the airport is one of the islands tourist attractions. as soon as it resumes operations,

the beach is close down. the only one still allowed on the beach is michael galbraith. he enjoys watching each take off and landing and even creates many of the passengers himself elected to, to do, you know, on a finger taking off or not. rush is lost in the neighbourhood of losses. any day barnett. i'm heading to the beach too. but for the last time, i'm flying back to that really wasn't unique experience, not only because of the beach landing, but everyone was so nice. it all felt like a big family so that i really got a good impression of the whole island. the
