edinburgh and 50 years of lies. we learn some facts about a tie in cuisine which may shock the pasta on of you. these stories and more coming up on your own mac. the . it's hard to imagine today the berlin was once divided by a wall for around 28 years, this iconic structure shaped the faith of the city. tomorrow's the 35th anniversary of the fall of the berlin wall. we explored the german capital and other places in the country and covering numerous traces of history this year, march 35 years to the fall of the burden, what it wants to buy the burden in germany for decades, bringing misery to many people. so what's left of it today and the burden wall fell

in 1989. i wasn't born yet. but later i saw the videos of the many emotional people what seemed impossible has come to a peaceful revolution. so let's start exploring the wall in berlin and germany. our 1st location is sick when charlie on physics trust, which was one of the most famous border crossings ever. it's hard to imagine today the world war 3 almost broke out here. at the end of world war 2, the allies had divided not only germany, but also berlin into fort occupations on the western zones were administered by the us, british, and french, and the eastern zone by the soviets, known as the g, d. r. at 1st the vocal still cost of water, but that ended when the gigi are built,

the wall on august 13 1961. the wall was built and all the rest. berlin was seated off here at chick when charlie, american and soviet tanks drove up, armed with light immunization and stood facing each other for more than 16 hours. berlin and the world held their breath. fortunately, the tax went through the situation. calm down and the wall became a sad part of everyday life. there's not much left of the wall, a checkpoint, charlie today. it's merely a popular photo spot. but you can find out what the, what actually look like in other places. our 2nd stop is a memorial unborn hours trust. it consists of a large opener, exhibition kind of documentation center. these will show where the wall one stood mainly through the middle of nowhere structure.

when the wall was built over night on august, the 13th 1961 dispute, people jumped out of the windows under now were shots. the houses were in the east, but the street was in the west. over the years, the simple wall became a sophisticated border fortification system. the 140 people died, either by being shot or from accident that occurred by trying to escape at the burden. but the memorial, the knowledge dresser is very moving. since it's the star commander of the once tragic history of the city, the, our 3rd spot is completely different. it's colorful, tearful, and original. nice side gathering. it is 1.32 meters, song spaces that are just fun all over the world. after the fall of the war,

it isn't inside one of the largest. so when you're galleries in the world, it's just want to walk along here and look at over a 100 paintings. we are now leaving berlin and driving to our 4th location, a place called point alpha. this us opposite ration post was on the border of former west germany, exactly between the present estates of syringe here. and his point also was considered a major hot spot in the cold war and that's because the us troops were certain that the sol reduce the square to invade the west. there wouldn't bid here. the terrain is relatively steps. so during the surprise attack, soviet troops could have penetrated very quickly and deeply into west germany. that's why the american citizen observation forced right here, as close as possible to the ddr border fortifications. the 1st and last stop on our

journey. nice on the border between 3 and you and the very yeah, the small village of more lovely. the small stream has always been the natural border between tutoring. yeah. and the varia and there was never, no problem on 21945 when the allies divided germany between themselves. suddenly, westwood la jolla was in the americans on eastwood lavoy. it wasn't the soviet so the administrative border had suddenly become a national border, separating friends and families. people from the western part of the village could no longer go to the same school or far because favor now in the east. it was also forbidden for people on opposite sides to waive or even read each other. this eventually became impossible anyway. as the border fortifications were extended, pushing people farther apart, american soldiers, nickname the place. little burnett of the people. it's more towards the left part of the wall standing so that future generations could understand what it meant to

live in a divided village in a divided country. this can go with our search for cases the 1st 335 years after the fall of the wall in berlin, germany. the. we continue with our series about studying in europe, which offer students a glimpse of what life could be like if they went abroad. we covered cambridge madrid, and the lawn, and today we're taking a closer look at what student life could be like as a centuries old university in scotland. what's it like to study in his dark and embrace scotland with wealth costs universities, a huge international population and a gothic old town that said to inspire, how are you supposed to? you probably want to know how you can study the we're meeting some international students, he'll tell you about their lives here. indigo is from the us and is

just graduated with a degree in international relations. first of these question, why edinburgh to edinburgh was always really my top choice. i came and visited here before i even knew that there was a big university here. um and i just, i absolutely follow up with the city and i think what surprised me was how warm the people are in the city. you know, everyone says that the weather is so bad, which i swear it's not. we get a lot more sun than people give us credit for that, but i, yes, everyone is so nice that there's a lot of emphasis on community and safety. so my friends in the states, we're definitely a lot more stressed at the university cruise. they weren't receiving the same kind of support. their class schedules were a lot heavier than mine. and then for as home to for different univers, international students make up 44 percent the student body at the university of edinburgh, that serve as 24000 students. and besides london, edinburgh is the most popular student destination. in the past.

the, well, you may think of it as a rainy city, a buyer in the rain full in edinburgh is less than the scottish average. and it rains less annually than in room in munich and in new york. so i guess i'm just on lucky edinburgh is less expensive than london old paris in terms of living costs more expensive and still criminal. lisbon. nice and international relations student from india is showing us how he budgets for centrals. so did you know that the university of edinburgh recommends between $920.19 pounds per month? does it budget sounds about right? i is a big gap and that's a good because in the way it is a lot in the city and the cost of living is really effective that as well. so we have oranges, you know, we have some middle, we have some chicken eggs,

some bread and displeasure items because the bottle of gen to try and keep it, but under $500.00 pounds every month, which essentially includes most meals going out and except for it and unless you're using taxi's or something transport costs pretty much negligible in the city like edinburgh, but you can walk around and use the bus for free. so that's what our bus boss looks like. it's a young scott card and so and give her those free access to the bus or we need to stop it in the bus loading for life, the night life and culture institutions. so how the students flow of things. i mean, it was done in english and lots of the students from the us to the inside ski reading 170 different societies. we have a warranty. it's a society of irritating society and talk with tasting society. a whiskey chasing system had to be a so uh,

really any interest you could simply problem. we represent, we have a little community for it and then we have 2 classes a week to the university a well. but throughout the city you can find at least 5 places a night anywhere your and um yeah, i think most of it really closer for as i bonded with also the 5 here. i left size of the each. what i have is old character. each one has its own regular use of each of them has its own flavor, even though it's a living, its own taste to it. and i love the, so how this studying and at in birth sound to you or you spell bound, but it's caustic bt well a little bit off by the rain. the violent conflict in the middle east has been dominating international news for months. the divide between cultures seems insurmountable, and signs of hope are needed. now, more than ever, we met up with

a couple from germany who were committed to reducing prejudice and hatred. both professionally, i and privately, the southern new cima, muslin, and mary mendo, whose jewish have been happily married since 2020. they visit the berlin zoo like any other family. and their living proof that peaceful coexistence is possible, in spite of different nationalities and religions. other than 50 meg is active because people are always asking, how can you live together as a muslim in, did you? are you compatible? don't to religions clash on and off and on the in our daily lives that doesn't really play any part on it. we celebrate jewish holidays. we celebrate muslim holidays are going to be suppression. we speak hebrew man or do at home and somehow it's a good thing, at least for us, the voice mean this service and the i think with his references i, marian was born in israel and came to germany as a student. now he's director of the and frank educational center in frankfort and

a consultant to george avella on anti semitism 7, which team i grew up in frankfort as the daughter of pakistani refugees. now she's a political scientist doing research for the german interior ministry on issues of a strong, my phobia in germany. their union is one of love. how is your statement from often people see us as a symbol of hope for the middle east conflict, but we're sorry to disappoint them. our marriage is not a peace project. it's really just a normal marriage and it comes to no model you no matter how open and liberal the 2 communities may claim to be. for many on both sides. marriage between jews and muslims goes too far. the couple of parents also struggled to accept it. that's with this app is kind of fine. of course they weren't jumping for joy. neither of our families are free of the stereotypes and prejudices that are so

prevalent that all not about the middle east conflict. either movie titles in times even marin's family are directly affected by the consulate and each side has preconceived notions about the other. so at 1st, it was hard work, but what really made a difference was simply a 1st actual meeting. the buses of a file and i had not had this, i thought to the all of the gig on the couple travel to jerusalem and visited both jewish and muslim holy sites. so i've got to know mirror and the family in israel. we met up with a couple in a berlin hotel since 2021. they've been writing a column entitled jewish muslim dinner for a major german newspaper. they also talk about their children and it is a 5 actually when it comes to the children. the question of judaism or islam is a far more important one field advantage off that for many people warned us that it wouldn't work and they'll end up deciding on neither of them or they'll take one

over the other. in our daily lives we have no problem saying everyone follows their own religion and then we experience other things together. and it's even nicer for us. it reaches our lives since the homeless terrorist attacks on israel of october 7th, 2023, and the subsequent military escalation in the middle east. the couple had been more focused on peace than ever. and if the give, i think in the aftermath of the gods of war, even if it looks as if jews and muslims can only be enemies, that's just not true. if can, of course, every community is made up of very different people. and it's these nuances that we try to find and for one, that's a scene then. now the couple has turns your column into a book, at readings around germany, they discovered how curious many people are about their lives together. and about their perspective on the middle east conflict stacked else that's also encouraging . is that working together just feels very good for us and it's well received to

both of these aspects, motivate us over and over, along with our private circumstances and our families. so many new things have taken shape and the sofa noise and stuff stop. i knew cima and marian mental intent to carry on devoting their efforts towards greater dialogue and understanding between jews and muslims, but professionally and privately. italian cuisine is popular all over the world, but one man is challenging. it's providence saying that many a time recipes aren't that old or aren't even a tying writer. and historian, alberto grandy is making bold claims that are ruffling feathers at home and abroad . this man is turning everything we thought we knew about italian cuisine on his head. you seem to the video this within the major italian tourism cities like florence or roman venice on it seems to me seem damning. the tourists has become

a national for the board employees to feed them any old garbage and claim. it's fine italian cuisine, you know, there's no reason to say italian is cook any better than the french germans or austrian, steve and t, z o. and you'll see you see how they're told brandy as an associate professor of economic history at the university of parma in his books. he claims that pizza has been a thing in italy only since the 1950s through parmesan cheese comes from wisconsin and that italian graham of camp cook what truth is there to his claims to help make sense of it. we turned to modeling a facade, the editor in chief of luck, regina talia, and she's advocating for a tally and present to be included on your nest goes list of intangible cultural heritage. of course, we also talked to ordinary italians theory number one. neapolitan pizza isn't from italy, epi secondary, go to the pizza we today, and the pilots and pizza is more american and then it is

a tally. you want me to kind of case that. yeah. and excuse me, pizza is the quintessential italian dish that everyone knows it and loves it. in fact, pizza was founded as far back as the 18th century in naples. sure, it looked a bit different back then. pizza was an inexpensive meal for naples, poor lower class bred tucked with whatever was left over at home the pizza, because he meant to have a need for the great emigration of the late 19th and early 20th centuries and over the pizza. eating in naples was a very basic product anymore, so they would have disappeared from our quizzing of okay, then the apollo tends themselves despise that stuff. on the record, i mean like all the rest of these pizza has certainly evolved and changed. of course, that doesn't mean it doesn't have an origin. no can. it's the birthplace of keep them in naples theory number 2 until the 1980s olive oil was only used as liam fuel today, italians consume per capita up to 13 leaders of olive oil

a year. but is that a new thing that's almost like it's on the silver olive? oil was never part of the famous mediterranean diet for cooking. they used to work fat instead come again. even in the 19th century, travelers raved about the taste of italian oils. clement that goes to the quick well there was certainly people producing high quality olive oil and the kinds that the vast majority of italians knew was a very poor quality. okay, was scarce and there wasn't much of it and it was expensive and it was used for everything. but cooking theory number 4, the only true parmesan cheese comes from wisconsin if at any time or john orig, yano is in essence of tying and cheese that originated in the middle ages period. that's true, but it's changed significantly over the centuries. the original parmesan was softer, its texture firmer. not until after world war 2 did tell you in parmesan,

evolved into the crumbling hard cheese. we know today in wisconsin though it still means like it was one a 100 years ago. when so was able to taste on the apartments on our grandparents new. we have to go to milwaukee, not pharma, a 1000 year old cheese is just awful though. theory number 5, italian grandmothers can't cook. nicholas not only do the grandmothers of this country know how to cook their the heart of a time quizzing. nothing like that. yeah. and italian grandmothers didn't even know how to cook, or rather they could maybe cook 3 dishes like everyone else in the world come into the holiday dishes. tortellini was anya, has that sort of thing like that. the rest was just making do with what little they had me say, i run jassy conflict, but we'll get to that under the tell you and culinary tradition truly about protection. and i'm changing recipes. clicking on the she left the whole world

knows italian cuisine. i don't think it's just 100 years old or 50, or 10 years old and the yeah, these dishes have been handed down from great grandfather to grandfather, to the children, and so on these down to the generation e, causing jeanetta sony. of course the core of my work is really to show that traditions are invented and above all that they can change. so that's essentially what it's all about, mean to from the 1000. yes, almost recruiter. i know, of course, that we dress up differently a 1000 years ago and lived differently and had different ingredients. and that doesn't mean we should deny that we were on work because of them when they got a kid, obama, me, i think a lot of love goes into preparing food and italy to meet the for them. and whether it's $400.00 or 40 years old, italian cuisine is ultimately more than just the sum of its ingredients. even it's harshest. critics can't resist it. any fashion designer knows that if your collection makes it onto the runaways of paris, you've made it to the top. and that's been the case for german designer marie

christina stats. we caught up with her in paris to see which designs launched her career. the with a low key, minimalistic look, fashion designer, mostly you, christina stats hasn't only conquered the streets of paris over the past decade. her elegant collections have also found a growing international fan base. most people might be unaware that the creator behind the french label is actually german. but the name gives away another part of her identity. go share is french for left handed. spinning sanders and i'm left handed. and the next thing was actually given to me by a teacher, the powers fashioned school. wonderful. because i worked with my left hand, i just have a wand permission. but to me, it has the deep meaning of going against the grain and doing your own thing. that is definitely that whoever skins it's something personal. the gap has ruined. it shows as it is, for instance,

we cannot change certain things about how we came into the world. well, how we look and see things. and that's why i chose the name for my brand, for the markets. i'm not so much that you christina, found in her label in paris in 2013. at that point she had already worked for luxury brands like diane, fun furstenberg. nowadays. she exhibits her collections twice a year at the parents present. forte shows is gabby who may have, i think that took some coverage and i think when i look back, i sometimes think i was a bit naive, but i didn't start out with a huge collection to begin with. i only had a few homes. so in cases then i got my 1st flashing lakesha and bought my shay bought some pieces. so i thought i'll just keep going. my attempt at her studio and central paris, she employs between 12 and 15 people. she has a lot of responsibility as both a fashion designer and ceo. is this mission the some point? it's not just about session anymore, but also a business,

a company that you're running, and then you start asking yourself very different questions and things which one to collect feelings and then you don't just think about one collection. but also about your team, about sales and developed digitalization. did you tell me 0? my the casino was only 20 when she left germany. but the designer now in her early forties still feels a connection to her roots and even think some german components can be seen in her collection. i think it's a certain straightness, a kind of structure. many of my pieces are very clean and minimal, even with that isn't fair. when my per discrete luxury garments without big flashy logo is, are now sold all over europe, north america, and asia. but from of the christina there is no stereo, typical goes, their customers stab him wise. i think they do have something in common

in that they are looking for a certain tailoring that may be looking for things that they can weigh both day and evening and oft of. and i also work with mens with fabrics creating different shapes in volume lumen. it's unique fashion made with fine fabrics like this top for example set and it has an open back. and this part can either hang down like this if you switch to that and for hang an order or kind of you can sort of fold it up and sling ahead of your shoulders the whole class and wonder about in short on time, noted so. so then it becomes a kind of double top doctor to in the show. the model only was over one shoulder, allowing it to full of it when worn. it looks minimalist and sophisticated at the same time, something that appeals to a lot of our customers same. so i liked the brand to so time this, i honestly loved the look from own who collections secret x. so it's really not sure if this even all, for me, these are close for

a woman who is cool and elegant. at the same time, a woman who is a bit artsy, yet refined to think uh, something huffing off. if my think hosting a shots has gained a firm place in the international fashion seen with her under stated luxury, close the net stylish note. we come to the end of the show, be sure to subscribe or follow us on social media. as always, thanks for tuning in and we'll see you again next week. the
