this man, risk their lives for crystal and healthy treats. can a jelly snack benefit people with dementia? the stories then more coming up on your own mac. the for the past few weeks, music has been in october fest 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 past the world's largest fear festival has long been a male domain. but today women are seen in jobs traditionally held by mit. as best of all hostesses for rick shaw cyclists. is it equality and practice or not such a great idea?

flash back to opening day. sylvia steinberg is the hostess of one of the biggest october fest tense 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 meant that 30 years ago. 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 you run $365.00 days

a year. it's a 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 looks like it's not from stress level over $6000000.00 people come every year to party, very engender cliches like the women's dental and men's little holes and are 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, which shall rosie, gets ready. an estimated $200.00 bicycle tax. these are 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 rickshaw right off we go. even before she sets out, it's obvious, this won't be an easy run. you a really great legs wasn't terrible like up by. 7 hey, not pass down like up, you know, keeping these passengers under control isn't easy, right? i lose the lose get 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. the was that normal? what just happens?

yeah, the this time if not, yes, that can happen. come back in the flower tent just before closing the party gets going. sometimes being a woman has its upsides here, at least sylvia steinbeck thing. so yeah. like in a 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 loved the organizing and you're making people happy. you sense that and it's great. also great are the millions of bureaus 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 at october, fast, switzerland is almost unimaginable without it 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 bureaus. men and women risk their lives to hunt for

these sparkly wonders. among them is thomas stein, bluegrass, a former world champion ice climber. he's been to the most dangerous regions of the world. he and his brothers philip hunt for crystals in the summer months in the god must eve 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 every thing and this risky business with all of them, all buttons and when we're working up here all week, we need a flat spot or a level plateau to sleep on and off. they both loved 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 the end of 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 fall on. 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 a blessing. the melting ice revealed new rock crevasses with quartz crystals, but the risk of falling is heightened because 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 to streamline dangerous example disability safety is the top priority almost every year, a crystal hunter has an accident and this results to 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 or

a short term later this time hold the brothers, make a sensational find. it's called a given. a twisted quartz crystal rentals are very rare and catch up to 10000 euros. this is the best find of the entire season. it's an extremely exceptional piece stokes. 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 thoroughly scouting the sides, do they climbed down. the weather has to be just right. rain mixed the terrain slippery. things can get serious with sudden thunderstorms or fox.

i'm heading down now. yep. okay. in switzerland, technical age and blasting or prohibited when hunting crystals? everything here is done by hand. the steinberger brothers go where no one has been before. but the work is becoming more dangerous. climate change is causing the permafrost and the ops to saw leading to rock and ice slides. today, they're in luck. another special find, a smoky courts, or almost black crystal highly coveted in the gemstone market. the after 14 days, they finally returned home to thomas's workshop. a. nowadays, he sells his crystals, mostly through instagram. as the market has changed significantly. and no matter how long it 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, a couple slides and these rear fines showcased online and in his show room secure his livelihood. a whole community offense closely followed his work. many of his friends have had accidents in the mountains, and thomas himself has survived serious falls. but quitting is not an option for him. the lowest of a babies to produce. that's the biggest challenge of the mental part and having to endure for the long haul that animals. although you also have to be prepared for it all to end quickly div, that's my life. i've lived at extremely intensely into the fullest. wonderful. i'm not afraid of death. you help k auction and toma stein bluegrass except such a risk because for him the fruits of his labors are worth it.

there are people in this world who achieve big things with simple ideas. one of them is british inventor lewis hornby, his jelly drops, can make life easier for people with dementia. water as a snack. these so called jelly drops are 95 percent water, but they're sweet with flavors like orange and strawberry, bluest hornby 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 this imply the it is a simple concept and i think that's why so many people have really understood if you wanted to make a difference. so louis invented, gently drops 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 looks 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. it's amazing to say a engage seventies. yeah. certainly with them and you know, she passed them by and what you see once and back and you talk about some success elements here as well. was really amazing in the u. k. alone, over 900000 people live with dementia and around 50000000 worldwide. costs made for october when i 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 alzheimers society coffee table

a cannot replace was something 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 it, people can just sort of help themselves. louis horn be invested 18 months in developing his ideas. before that he spent a month in his grandmother's care home to understand the needs and wishes at the residence. is one of the biggest challenges was guessing the texture writes textural mouth fil a really important sensory aspect to people's enjoyment of the products. and when we 1st lowest out today, the texture was slightly crumbling, almost. it wasn't what you expect from a jelly. so we did lots of development to make sure we could still keep the elastic familia, flat 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 or they joined or accelerates or program. we offer partners up to 100000 tons 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, louis hornby made it onto the forbes 30 under 30 list which honors exceptional entrepreneurs under 30. but something else is more important to him. often when i was visit michael monica, the language wasn't always that you'll see that you found yourself shaving, you know, maybe it's, i have a props such as a book. so you know the tv but having a suite of a product that you can chat together and enjoy and, you know, use as

a conversation starter was a really valuable product to really a thought. so extends racks generally drops, not the replacement for water, but a sweet sugar free supplement. and a simple invention that is having a positive impact the needs of people making your red hot speeds. just follow also on instagram experience live styles, traditions dining and the odd along with the local people. so you will get up close and personal join us to become a part of our community at dw underscore your claims. anyone for many, these show fish are a matter of taste,

but in belgium they're part of the national dish. so how are they served there? we try out a combination that is unique. we built in the the, these are the crown jewels, a belgian cuisine move seats, a steaming pot of mussels and piping hot fries. and we'll show you how it's done. what up the mountain. yeah. the belt in capital brussels is home to hundreds of restaurants, serving up the dish among the most well known sister establishment shaylee on and who was on that list and operating for more than a century. although i said i said, and my name is said that you can, i've been the chef that goes down the blue satin for 5 years shift kind enough cooks up hundreds of key loaves of muscles and fries each week. the magic starts with freshly rents, to muscles, and a few ingredients, butter, salt and pepper,

celery and onions made up. i tell you how you add the fat. this to the celery on this, on your, on the onions. the vegetables always have to be at the bottom, and then if you put the vegetables on top of the muscles, they want to cook properly, they move it up, it's inputted salt and pepper vastly put it in a pot so, so that's about one portion of it. it's roughly 800 grams of muscles per person. the foot we saw purple onto a high heat. was it i'm going for around 4 to 5 minutes. is a might, it's very quick setup. and don't forget, around halfway through, shake up the pot to make sure the muscle cook evenly. 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. and 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. before their task with the salt and the finishing touch model, we the fries with mayonnaise. russell's love of muscles was cultivated in the 1950s with the advent of paid vacation days. city workers who could visit the coast for a few days of fun returned longing for a taste of the seaside. and these restaurants were ready to cater to locals,

new taste, the, the most muscle served up here in the capital are still sourced from the north sea . around belgium and the netherlands. these days you can find to move the seat in brussels all year round, but fishmonger veronique from you will and says the standard varies depending on the season. the best quantity of muscles you eat them in october, november, december, january, and then for us, we fishmonger see on the east them during that short story. short lapse of time. she carries out vigorous product inspections to check the quality of a muscle. you'll have to open it up like this, like this one seed. it's nice. it's pink. and it's fleshy. the sweeter the muscle, the better of that one each says. and there's a way for professionals like her to check quickly. and this is how we eat ra

muscles are also sometimes sourced from spain, as they were once seen as a simple and cheap dish for the masses. but over the years they become a more sought after an expensive choice. back at the restaurant, a portion of moving freed will send you back more than 30 euro, but the price tag isn't deterring these customers the every time we're in brussels, we always try and at least have some of our sales team out there at the typical. i'm just kind of mussel, so it's as easy as that and that's a very special place. traditional and the sort is very good. and they're not the only ones manager. teddy's garris has welcome some distinguished guests over the years disabled with the have the calmer between the both of them by the clinton some jasmine. but i tell you everyone is more than welcome customers here can also

samples same as local beers. but it's the move of fee to which make mountains water beloved by belgians. similar to present studies, it's our traditional that should it's our culture, although it's our culinary heritage and we'll talk about team one, putting a little seat is a dish popular all over europe. but it's a match made in belgium. the 1st glance, this structure looks like a greek temple, doesn't it? in reality, it's a memorial called valhalla, located in the heart of germany. we took a deeper dive into its history style ha. conceived in 18 o 7 by crime print slid vega for burial this memorial as a whole of st. honoring distinguished german speaking politicians, sufferings scientists, an artist like mozart,

beethoven, rubens, and good to for example. incidentally, it is mainly men are represented here, as it often has been in history. valhalla was built to celebrate the german nation . so to find it more, let's head inside meeting jump to try to find that. why valhalla was so important to the various french crown, prince cooper, just port. we should stick together. if the next town a danger. and if there is $600.00 on it, we should stand and fight together. and with a, with this morning monty's hopes to strengthen the petro autism and the national consciousness among the germans. you can not only see boss, even memorial lex and both together commemorating a note of the triggers who took care of

a and bodies their greatness of germany. that's what the idea weird at the name by how that comes from. i mean that's a nordic name, right? why does it relate to, or how does it relate to germany in the north? the me from there she is, if i ha, was the whole of the heroes. and in the whole, all these brave, all the bravest warriors, phone and federal, they were coming together. and all these foreign vari, i swear here in malta, because of the past name merit nutrition. took the characteristics for his own valhalla. so how to solve, holla, hold, uh, a valid place in german thinking and society nowadays with germany's history oft, uh, 1945 and bought some type of further to think about the drum and greatness on something like this off to a low cost and

a nice above arisen as was definitely impossible and so that we're thinking and not out of looking for not i mean another aspect became more important in fact the memory of the event for german history. so for sure, opposed to nazi illusion. she was catch up by a says, go stop or and finding or that and 1943 with how all of the persons who resisted a movie on a tier 5 that's very strong. that means everybody who resisted and sold get politics into the hall of fame other viola and it's not the hall of fame. it's the hall of memory and show that's what it is today. the
