sebastian of christianity. it has recently undergo an extensive restoration, every generation architect conrad booth. a gar has played a key role in this process. he's managed to mailed the old architecture with new the now we're working aside the parliament and you're a part of designing the part of it. right? yes, we went to be in the rental piano, the commission by the government to, to build the building. and we where his local architect, the whole building is built on the local stone. well, you know, what's really interesting, although this one is an old. so they, yes. and this one is a new version. yes. but they somehow fit together. yes, absolutely. that's yeah, that's was the idea. so mission complete the pieces, you know, really and you can see the light and shade on the facade. yes. gives the feeling of a corrode in the way. that's the way that all the way it's on the other side. now i

getting more thing on the scale, assuming that the lines on the top, so this triangle. yeah. cool to it's where it's on who the my continue like. so the structure we see there. yes, is actually, it's connecting this one, but this isn't a modern way. yes. okay. so it's creates a continuity between the old and new wherever you look, looks like you're in stevenville, let us crumbling duty. okay. select the even the ruins of the former. well, opera house have been integrated into an open air theater, the cfo, which bought the space in the 9th of the city. so when the performance is taking place of business and funny concept that the sound spills out into the streets. so everyone knows everybody knows people sometimes stand on the edge and watch even though they're not inside the theater itself. it's very impressive because it's open air. and when you look at the building behind the successive,

so that's the side effects, right? yes. in fact, the choice of the green was from that spied by the green of the balconies. so when it's dark and it's all, it's all about, facility gets sort of closer to the interior and it feels like what used to be the innovation of the of the 5th conrad glucagon is convinced that the letter can only retain its vitality. images past is integrated into the presence the city's history should enrich rather than limited. it shows me the and chatting with from the upper barranca gardens. the if you look at this, you don't have to say anything anymore. this garden was built on the highest bastion of the land with which cations, originally multi landscape, was 3 full maximum stories heights like this. it snow and hard zone to 5 years ago . the opportunity to start building high buildings towards buildings was allowed.

so now lots of buildings now being there, put you on to your 14 stories high, you're kind of, you know, i'm not fond of it because for additional landscape is going to obviously change. how is that progresses with lenses? something you can really control and i don't even want you to be scared of change. multi is a place of tradition and modernity. rapid construction building here tranquil beach us in laguna, their time with nation is trying to negotiate the middle ground between the needs of tourism and multi residents. the small fishing village cross sectional is the home of the typical maltese wouldn't vote called alludes. it's idyllic. now i'm traveling further south here on the main island to a place where a very exclusive multi specialty awaits me. this is finance in now in such

a way to me because i told the germans have sausages, how do you indeed tell your pizza to the multi speed c to so sadly, it's meant to be very tasty. i'm looking forward to eating something close to 10 kilometers from the capital. here this logan is loading it if you to, to, to work and virtual meeting body to develop the founder of by states you going back to, you already know i am the most fits the women. yes. the nice meeting you same when it comes to my house. thank you so much. ready to make busted say i'm ready to cook for the 1st time. it was a good retired. so into the kitchen model is an institution. and so j, we choose the cleaning of making the pastries better most favorites, neck. and the one i met here is talking about the a, c t c. and you have to using facility. you have to, if you're comfortable with how you have to each busted, we'll have them for breakfast or lunch for

a t. okay. then if you really don't feel like cooking, do you have them for dinner as well? so it's under false, you know, you find them everywhere in every town village, you make different kind of pursuits. see what's, what's the thing about your own? i make busted c without large for the traditional ones. and they made them with large, with forks that a so i try to make to make an alternative beginning to tell you yes, yes, yes, exactly. this is the traditional of this tradition of food in the, in monetize it. is it vision, but here you know, it's quite me the base, the most most popular and what we think is dish is in fact rabbits needs or rather yes phrases are bits. are the guidelines for there are some similarities between multi use and arabic languages. so i'm going to do a little test the what do you call this?

in most cases in arabic, we say i've seen yes and what is called a gina. it's almost the same. yes, this is because i was told my teeth language is very close to eric language. i see now you say i seem to submit to the language. in fact, it's 66, the president of his comes from our and they can because of a room by the art of support a very long time. so we talk now when i say at q feet table, does you say yes, is this a new, you know, not these language? yes. all right, well yeah, and this one, the pilot, the when the p thing. know that's comes from italian prison. these entity. that's why we say by zillow. oh yeah. so, so was yes, the same, you wouldn't say for a $916.00 to say after the language less than the cooking, less than continues. shall we get the the feeling? yes. let's get the feeling they saw here. very well prepared that it caught the

cuts on the page. they say anyone who has been to multiple wants always return for the food alone. the dishes are unbelievably tasting. fantastic. especially castillo made using money. it was recipe. and i didn't do a bad job making them either did i could open. yeah. okay. well the must eat so you're making money. lou shows me around the small town of said jay, we are stroll. takes us to the church of saint nicholas. molto is predominantly catholic. what influence does the church have here? she tells me the country is one of the most conservative in europe. i love more so is it otherwise i wouldn't say it. but i think there is the risk of losing it soon . okay. oh, it's a, it's a new high rise buildings. that's where it gets

a some people are way too conservative. how does effects on you? so it's on young people and especially women, for example, abortion is looking to hear abortion is nothing else. so that's very a quiet sort of, of problems because then own, you know, rich people who kind of forward is kind of get to that because they kind of go a route to other countries or as they go to black markets. so, um and even even, and when you want to divorce it, it's in, you know, was into abuse around 6 years ago. something like that, 67. and before that you're good for that. no, there was no other voice and was a wonderful aroma entices us back to the kitchen or my very 1st batch of self made must eats the awaits us. but if this already is, i'm all they look so good golden ground a good wrong. i think they are very crisp,

so i try the one with the cheese. okay, this one? yes. it's so good. good. it's so good. it's so good. it's really good. it's really the best under pressure. yes, yes, yes, yes, it's a good this so i can stay the whole day now eating them. so it's really good, you know, at the beginning when you look at them and say, what's special about it. but now you can see how good it's it tastes, it smells. so it's, it's worth it. i'm glad you like the the island nation has been a member of the european union since 2008. and in this tax haven, people like to show off what they have. it's a popular place for wealthy english people to retire to for example. it's

a paradise for car learners. i'm surprised to stumble across a vintage car, rounding in full at the bunch and multi has its dark sides too late. 2017 and assassination shop the country's political lives in spark. the national crisis journalist, daphne kawana elisia, was investigating a high level corruption scandal when she was murdered in a car by the attack struck the country and led to the resignation of top politicians. october's 5 thousands. it seemed would it be in october 2017. the journalist asked me to lead me to you with murdered you, just a short distance from her home on to either of ideas or investigative work, and focused on political and financial correction and multiple mazda concepts here . and, and me, it's important to me as a journalist that i come here to make a point where on that and then so i, since i believe

a democracy must guarantee freedom of opinion in the media. and i know democratic events are all mazda is part of the you, it's my thoughts. and i expect that freedom of speech, it should be a cornerstone and such a country and gornstein from so in the blinds in the country more demanded in the corruption and life now multi has to prove it can implement the rule of law and respect the freedom of the press, so as to ensure a document called the one that got it. so you did not dying and they were leaving the main island and taking the ferry northwest vs. i mean, it's not supposed to, as a sudden, we're heading for goes by we're going to visit the city of victoria. hi victoria. it's a small city, but it has to opera houses open. the question is, why to why the

goes on is the 2nd largest island and the multi is archipelago. its only 14 kilometers long and just over 7 kilometers wide most of goes those 31000 residents live in the islands capital victoria. its a bit quieter here than it is on the main island. most interested in the 2 offer houses, the aurora, and the tower through us right. here i'm meeting the director, john goliath. the 2 buildings are just 300 meters, a part i came to goes over here and i have one question. why do you need to approach here on a very small island? it's because there's the rivalry between the 2 band clubs in victoria. the other bank club has also the out all over the house. and there's this at the out to us

start, which is the seat of all per as well. and out of sheer, the artist, the cries of a button. but the good sense of a competitive sense, how is the competition affecting on the quality of the production? so doing obviously, um there would be much more engagement and commitment by the members of the opera at the restaurant who are actually engaged to promote the highest such as the coveted person. oh, the opera houses were built at the end of the 1960s. and they've been vying with one another since then visitors, do they go to both full price or you? you have the feeling, some are really loyal to $1.00 to approach. some of the helpful just may be that it's like you've done, right. all right, so yes, yeah, yeah, so the club,

this it is, it is, but i mean, or as a sense of much yours, the less because that's the way we've gone from strength to strength and people are going over to each other as the authors. and 1st of all, and also to see the, the level of the so that the competitive edge is always there. it is very much like mcauliffe artistic activity. the yet the island nation is surprising. and another aspect in 2017, the multi is parliament voted overwhelmingly to legalize same sex marriage since then goes to a wedding planners, jewels bill jr. and catherine goods have almost had more homosexuals than heterosexual customers. business, if you would face some context for new

round fund facing each other with the readings in jewel fires and every single we exchanging of rings will be done here. all your guests will be seated on the terrace looking out this way. so over say, the back in the letter, i'm amazed at how progressive catholic multis approaches to transgender it's almost sexual issues. in the spartacus gate travel index, the island is ranked as one of the most elegy bt friendly countries in europe. meeting clayton, mexico, and l g. b t i q, community organizer to find out more a see catholic church is very selection here on uh, on mazda um, how is that affecting on that? would you be tied to rights?

i would say since the 2011 ford jennifer and i'm show that people want to move on and have the rights to do far is they've kind of changed the mentality even for the church to not be so focused on unprecedented freedom of what people wanted to choose, i'm fortunate to sit at issue a funds out over women when it comes to rights to the for the rights in mind. that's the white tagging behind. so when it comes to educate you i to you. right. so yeah, i think that that's the concept get in mind with as we're having this fancy, whereas if, if you guys are far ahead, i would say in the world, in general, we don't hear about aggression or home a whole the way our community as such. but the cases, the sierra for something towards the trans women of faith, physical and online abuse. and so that's was quite shocking for us. the cleaning organizes the

annual multiplied. we can pride march place in new york for an organization that takes care of the edge of the i q and rights here on my laptop. and what do you do? except even though one says very smart, i was gonna say the violation of the fact that we don't have a lot of eligibility places where to go to is always based on events. and i think that's one of the things that we're doing in g o l, i think the communities to, to create that sort of sense of belonging and community for, for the eligibility kind. the multi hasn't many facets. most people only know the place has a beautiful holiday. i'm but it's also become one that the trans cloud spots at the rest of the crisis. again and again, thoughts that have pulled survivors from the sea put into ports here. not as

location, 350 kilometers from the libyan coast is the primary reason for that. more than 15000 people have died in recent years trying to reach your of the of the mediterranean sea. needing some survivors who made it as far as molto. i asked, when did you arrive years? it's on the 201800 libya across the sea, across the certificate. so can and how is the journey? what problem is that you have? well, we came in this morning, but somebody calls in the votes of death. difficult to get in and you either live or die. you laugh about it now and so it was tough, right? the minutes that somebody. oh yes it was time. we were it. so you, for 7 days,

for 7 days we were on a ship, contacted different countries, but no one wanted to take us about it. and then the united nations decided that we should come here to move to pretty much the same deeply moved by their fate. what will happen to them? how many will get stranded on this on within the future? when will the you find a collected solution to the problem? i'm speaking with aaron's on it's do. the multi photo journalist has captured scenes from the refugee drama. what does that mean? is it terry? and you can see today mean to you uh, to me personally, it's a lot of things. it's my home office and that's what we have seen over the past for 20 years of service. it's also a graveyard. it's just a huge numbers of people crossing from africa trying to get to you at most and most

of the departments tend to be from libya and the number of fatalities enormous. the parents accounts for shocking shows be photographs of rescue mission. so it is witness. 2 to have the times when i put down to cameras and help tags. yeah, i had taken enough pictures anyhow, so there's no point in it. can you click on this and his photographs are stark. reminder of what many don't want to excel. human hearts are at stake. here just as a guy, you know, they had to speak to that skips, obviously when these people don't know if they're going to nipple dye once they realize they've survived. it's a very,

very possibly emotional experience folder emotional. and if you, i think they are really, are the, i mean, yeah, i'm some breakdown into some sort of celebrates and saying and pray. but there's a lot and a lot of crying there's one rescue mission that there and will never forget the the most domestic weekend for me was east of 2017, where several people from in tennessee. there was a match, struggle for them. how does this have an impact on, you know, you get some of these um, as of images fashion back to your minds. uh, which do not go away. they so sometimes come back to you at the most unexpected moments, more than just think about the funds with suicide. and the same risk is the same. we can think about the, the,

the baby who's likes. it's like safe. what policy is change from your perspective, according to your opinions? and i would love to see a more solid attitude between the different a european countries, you know, when it comes to creating a you with wide policy on how to, how to share these people are some of them selves. the fact that full countries have to agree on this. i mean, that is obviously a problem because, you know, unfortunately there are some e u member states which are adamantly against having refugees on there. so the, as long as europe fails to open up or to help, and as long as there is no improvement in the refugees, countries of origin will continue to see these dreadful images from the mediterranean mazda, its weekly visit to malta has been really,

really into lots cuz he still feels he hadn't expected to experience so much of the island, the very small, but it's architecturally very rich dimension in with the people i sometimes got the feeling i could be multi is to about to use as i they're very close to arrow culture obviously, and also very european level piece within when they speak, i feel i've understood understanding which i hadn't expected at all to me. just martha is. i couldn't say that as really like any other country has done someone's pretty unique stitches except the the

most makes your in good shape, finds out the genes. uncontrolled always happens if you every day nice has nothing to sing with you in a cloak. it can be just for mental health research techniques. so how keeping and think next day

we love us. we love to does us anything unusual? no mountain is too high. the road is too long and such a faith ordinary we have a specialist of lifestyle, 009. in 60 minutes on d w. the fast fashion as an environmental nightmare. a closing graveyard image of land desert the this is where things wealthy industrial nations no longer need and the lightest textile waste

gets stranded here. all about the final stuff in the global fashion industry. fast fashion. watch now on youtube, the o. j usually starts when our alarm goes off with slaves to the clock. society sees punctuality as the 2. we can't afford to miss that train. we have places to be things to do. no wonder we constantly checking the time box, we'd be better off paying more attention to our internal clock. it's rigging it's cycles of alertness and sleepiness. if we go against the bodies to katy and with them, we can end up with weight problems. and how does this.
