for the past few weeks munich has been in october of best fever, drawing in millions of visitors. but what's it like to work in the thick of the crowds? especially as a woman, we had a closer look unix october fast, the world's largest spirit festival has long been a male domain. but today women are seen in jobs traditionally held by ment, assessable hostesses for rick saw cyclists. is it equality and practice for not such a great idea? flash back to opening day. sylvia steinberg is the hostess of one of the biggest october fest tents and she's running late. she arrived with the other host at the fair grounds and a horse drawn carriage. the 10 manager's number among the festivals, highest ranking business people for years they were exclusively man. 30 years ago now, nobody could have imagined having festival hostesses,

but that's the change. now. they made it at the last minute. some 10000 people are already in the 10th waiting welcome to the 2024 fair grounds and the magnificent whole floor. 10. the only a couple of this year's 14 large 10. so run by women. this is any guns unless it's a whole different world from a normal pub that you run $365.00 days a year. it's here. it's in full swing right from the starting shot. and you never have a lot of them. at least not as far as the stress level goes. me of a, it's like it's not from special event. over $6000000.00 people come every year to party, the very engender cliches, like the women's dental and men's little holes and or a huge part of it has, are the flirting alcohol and even harassment. but sometimes it goes too far.

when you run around here, it's like open season, you really have to be careful quite often you'll find a hand on your rear end. i call it or not the whole in man always get the same result. it's a tough environment for the women who work here outside the fair grounds. rich, shall rosie gets ready. an estimated $200.00 bicycle taxis or on the streets of munich during the festival. some of them peddled by women you've got to deal with these wasted and sometimes unpleasant people and make an effort to keep nice and cool and get through it somehow. that's always quite a challenge. and the minotaur rich, so rosie is independent. she owns her bicycle rick shock right off we go. even before she sets out it's obvious, this won't be an easy run. you have really great. let eggs wasn't careful. like

a fine. 7 hey, not pants down like up. you know, keeping these passengers under control isn't easy. ride the low skids. now he's getting out. i've got a great customer. will you be good? do you want to keep going? then you have to get back in there at last to oh, you take care you rascal. yeah. was that normal? what just happened? yeah, the this time if not, yes, that can happen. come back in the flowers and just before closing the party gets going, sometimes being a woman has its upsides here, at least sylvia steinbeck thing. so yeah, you know, way it's sweet when i come in and my security people say, oh, the hostess and they lift me up or something. they probably wouldn't do that with

a man. it's kind of sweet the way they treat you and appreciate you as a woman, as hostess to the patrons in her attend, she hasn't experienced the aggressive behavior. some october fest guests have the this is my job as it were made just for me. i love to be with the patrons with the co workers, and i love the organizing and you're making people happy. you sense that and it's great. also, great. are the millions of euros in revenue the proud to bring in and rich, shall rosie is also building up a financial cushion for the winter months. i'm a nice person to be honest. so it doesn't bother me that much to be out and about at night too. oh, cool, and you see some weird things at night say, not that heavy patrons the revenues, the adrenalin,

all these upsides balance out the negatives. for most women and october fast, switzerland is almost unimaginable without its stunning mountain scenery. every year, hundreds of thousands of people are drawn here and with views like these. it's not surprising, but some come for what's hidden within the peaks. where a true treasure lies. this quartz crystal waste several kilos, and it's worth thousands of heroes. men and women risk their lives to hunt for these sparkly wonders among them is too much time to hold on a former world champion ice climber, he's been to the most dangerous regions of the world. he and his brother phillips hunt for crystals in the summer months and the god must save mountain range. the helicopter keeps them supplied with provisions and equipment at an altitude of over 3000 meters,

thomas and his brothers set up their base camp for crystal hunting. the good preparation is everything in this risky business with all of them all. but when we're working up here all week, we need a flat spot or a level plateau to sleep on and off. they both love the rugged life high up in the mountains and the feeling of vastness and freedom. it gives them far from the rest of the world to forgive if it depends on the weather. if it's good, we stay up here for up to 14 days old. summer up here is short. by mid august, the 1st snow is fallen. it covers crevices. so cushion is needed. climate change is causing the swift glaciers to melt rapidly. for crystal hunters, it's both occurs and of lifting. the melting ice reveals new rock crevices with

quartz crystals, like the risk of falling is heightened. is on all the equipment will come down in the next few days. we need to secure the blocks, so it won't slip if someone is working there. it's extremely dangerous example. just safety is the top priority. almost every year, a crystal hunter has an accident and this was helps. the melted ice makes it easier to reach the crystal. now patients and a delicate touch are necessary. we can see right through it crystal clear snow. a short time later this time, hook up brothers make a sensational find. it's called a given. a twisted quartz crystal candles are very rare and can fetch up to 10000 zeros. this is the best find of the entire season. it's an extremely exceptional piece. so anyone looking to make sensational discoveries has to venture

where nobody's ever been in the crevices near the road? have long been mind out. it's 6 in the morning just above freezing. but the sun is shining. just right for the brothers to embark on a long planned expedition, they aimed to clear out an unknown grotto they discovered in high resolution photos . only after a thoroughly scouting decides do they climbed out his crystals, mostly through instagram. as the market has changed significantly. and no matter how long i've been up there or how tired i am, the 1st thing i do is head to the cleaning room. i bring the good stones here and immediately start processing them before i even shower this way. they're ready for sale within half a day, so the cost of these rear fines showcased online and in his show room secure his livelihood. a whole community offense closely followed his work or many of his friends have had accidents in the mountains,

water as a snack. the so called jelly drops are 95 percent water. but there's sweets with flavors like orange and strawberry bluest horn b and his team develop them. they're meant to help people with dementia stay hydrated. but do they really work? we went to london to find out is a simple either a simple concept and i think that's why so many people have really understood that you wanted to make a difference. so louis invented gently dropped after a frightening personal experience. his grand mother pad, who has dementia, was hospitalized with severe dehydration because she forgot to drink. after she recovered, louis looked for a way to help dementia patients stay hydrated when i initially presented it to uh that was not video. that was the 1st time she'd ever seen it, but it's amazing to say a engage seventies. yeah. certainly with them and you know, she passed them by and what you see wants them back and you talk about some of the social elements that as well was really using in the u. k. alone,

over 900000 people live with dementia and around 50000000 worldwide costs. very front cover what i have to get addicted to these they're the hydration among dementia. patients can lead to other major health problems treat and from carlos. i think the jelly drops are sugar free and are enriched with vitamins and electrolytes. they're ahead of the all time or society coffee table. it cannot replace was some things to have in addition to your usual water intake, in particular, any way we find people may have a tenant, for example, awesome cabins coming up like, you know, mom, you need to drink water and it can cause a lot of dynamics and things like that. so whereas with this, if you just leave and people can just sort of help themselves. louis horn be invested 18 months in developing his idea. before that, he spent

a month in his grandmother's care home to understand the needs and wishes of the residence. is one of the biggest challenges was guessing the text provides text or a mouthful, or really important the sensory aspect to people's enjoyment of the products. and when we 1st lowest out today, the text was slightly crumbling. you'll notice that wasn't what you expect from a jelly. so we did lots of development to make sure we could still keep the last state familiar foot slave. i'm texture. the alzheimer's society, a major british dimension support organization has backed up louis from the beginning. so far, jelly drops are only available in the u. k in north america, but that is set to change the page. they joined our accelerator program. we offer partners up to 100000 pounds of investment alongside access to people living with dementia to provide insight into their products. and also access to our dementia

innovation. collective foods like water rich fruits and vegetables are harder for many people with dementia to consume. with julie dropped loose, horn beat made it onto the forbes 30 under 30 list, which honors exceptional entrepreneurs under 30. but something else is more important to him else. and when i was fidget, michael monica, whom the language wasn't always that you'll see that you found yourself shaving in a moment. so i have a props such as a book, so you know the tv, but having a suite of a product that you can share together and enjoy and you know, use as a conversation starter was a really valuable product to really a thought sex instruct generally drops not the replacement for water, but a sweet sugar free supplement. and a simple invention that is having a positive impact the to meet the people making your red top speeds. just follow also on instagram

so that's about one portion of it. it's roughly 800 grams of muscles per person. the food we saw careful onto a high heat was it i'm going for around 4 to 5 minutes. is a my it's very quick setup. and don't forget around halfway through shake up the pot to make sure the muscle cook even like. meanwhile, chef cal enough, perhaps the side dish. the world might know these crispy treats as french fries, but this ship has a message that only belgians know how to make fries. in belgium, fries are usually cooked in beef tallow and in 2 stages. first, at 140 degrees celsius for 4 to 5 minutes, then again at 190 degrees for a further 4 minutes.
