in percent, but how they can deliver is a sufficient amount of votes to allow the greens to join a coalition government starting from a strong position. and according to what we hear here, the party congress and these buttons with the greens really want is to stay in government a year up to date on dw news. marietta ever staying, thanks for watching. when i was 8 years old, i was already dreaming of the future as a singer and i wanted to become a hero of my family. his dream was within reach. she become a star in turkey overnight. a man took everything from with the help of his family and music. she rebuilt her life. and then her sister also became a family scholar by hatred to mother and the daughters. i am willing to work for

change so i can go for yourself. i will sing my song. maybe my voice will be heard back to bring to our seeking justice to the victims of fin assigned starts november 21st on the w, the touch, the ballooning is not just a spectacle. it's a serious sport. and re, to bet says greatest passion. yeah. it's incredible and you can feel the com. that's an order for me up here. so it gives me such a secure vision that everything will be okay. that's what it gives me on a lie. i definitely said after the reach of bets is hungary best female pilots and she'll be competing this as well. championships in her home country re to into team is setting a difficult course against competitors from wells and nations. as i can mean. that's all about pushing my limits, requisition we

tibbets doesn't kind of passion, so hot tabulating as you can tell from her home. and i said, well, someone once right account of the balloon items here but lost count. re to 1st goes into hotel ballooning. so 2 years ago it starts with a friend of mine, 1st started talking about hot air, ballooning, and i said i'd like to try it myself. there was no gps based technology like this to help us. so each team was assigned an observer to record the results that me and that's how i did my 1st race session. it became quite a love affair. she's an engineer by profession and teaches mathematics. she's now preparing for her 1st well championships in her country hungry in the city of say good men and women will compete in the same category. but there are for a few a women, pilots, and hoss had ballooning with many choosing. somebody likes the sports,

but re to says she chose bags instead of fortunately, i included the family with it and sometimes we went hang gliding with a baby in a stroller. i took her to a race with us and the best net watched while my mom's flu or my mom came down to watch her while life lives. and when she was older, my mom would help and take care of schoolwork and i'm sure you sufficient. i just feel that she has to do, which is one of them is also training to become a pilots. you can't take coffee, the whole tabulated alone. you need to team 3 to is assisted by hip hop. now your shift who also has probably to sing experience yourself helps with the technique measuring the wind and driving between target some of the grounds. you know, so i'm going to talk to you. i think rita, is it, that's a pilot and i am. and that's why she should fly while i stay on the ground or she has an improve, i organize the finances, try to bring the money in while she flies ish. we spend it on a common hobby,

essentially, but it's also not a federalist. any updates that you gave me reaches home life is deeply connected to what's happening and it's not just her to to that proves that she and yours. you have 1st met us an event of what i met my ex husband at a hot air balloon in competition them after 20 years. we went our separate ways, but both continued ballooning. we had met jo just during that time. i asked him to help me out as a team member several times and eventually we got together another sample chat. it's not like any one hop does it, and the other half of it goes along with their tool. not. i think it's like a disease and infection, this flight that lose people together. and we think that are in the same way of doing that, but it can be shipped and do that to them. to team is not enough. you will send these ideal conditions to take off. some wind is needed too much, is no good. every takeoff is preceded by intense preparations for the good. now we

for the burner on, we're putting the gas pipes in here behind this cover so that they don't get in the way and so that they don't get stuck on me. it go from now the burner test, the physical for the balloon holds 4000 cubic meters. we bought it 2nd hand in australia and we can carry passengers with it being a vast and while on to my racing balloon is like an opal that competes against the jaguars. so it looks good and you can race with it to some extent. but while i'm on the front of it, there are other balloons that can ascend much faster. your show back, i do, sir. is she a basic cape effect? often loving in 4000 cubic meters of hotel re to is ready for the take of everything goes smoothly. and a few minutes late to the news is in the, the numbers and i have a fear of heights,

but i don't feel it in the balloon. from the uh, everything seems different. there's a sense of calm. but only because rita has things under control. she checks the wind data on the map on her tablets. ballooning isn't cheap. a single flight cost small than $5.00 a 100 to years. sorry after them. unfortunately for our own enjoyment, we can rarely afford to fly because it's expensive until we have a sponsor and we can't afford to do it regularly. so we really only fly competitive way. if we have passengers. let's say the racing takes the money. the passengers can make some of that back. but at 900 meters, it's no soul about money funding from. i think it's indescribable. the piece freely when you don't have to heat it, i guess looks quite different when you're buying, just like that compared to a competition where you're concentrating on the task here and you can enjoy the scenery. see what you can see from up there. it's quite different from down there, i guess management center. in the 2nd,

the preparations to the world championships are already underway a day before the official. i think some of the competitors, including rita and 10 mudy recruited team coming for a test drive. they begin the takeoff in the middle of the city from a football page as they inflate the balloon locals watch with interest rates. this balloon arrives safely at the agreed, spelled 5 kilometers away. the team has done well for me. it's a new team and we needed to prepare for the world. the cottonwood we delayed, take off until the last minute, but there wasn't much time to talk through tasking with connecting. we managed windows. it's 5 in the morning of the big day, the world championship begins a 130 of the world's best pilots to gathered for the briefing. the weather is over the cost and the teams of waiting for the latest wednesday to find the lead. the pilots get ready for the situation remains on something about if the

flight was free, i'd go back to bed. the teams begin to gather, waiting for the race judge's final decision. but the weather intervenes. the weather is not right to the fly because it's already raining and their strong wind up high, which is set to come down if you will have 10 meter per 2nd wind soon. that's just a part of it. the one to is press 2 in the afternoon and the full cost is good. teams don't to impact. that's so close together that sometimes the balloons of touching the more than a $120.00 balloons take off the pilot, so supported by data from the ground. the, the data didn't come up quarterly, it's uh 26512944 just makes measurements with balloons and transmits it to the sky. technology is that for everyone, as a team from a wealthy, a country has

a better option to collect the data. we also have to, we used to say it's 50 percent talent, 50 percent of luck on for so you can fly precisely, but the wind might turn in the last 50 to 150 meter. that's what you want. it. obviously if you want to with incense and measurement, that is very accurate, you can use 10 to 15 of those. got just to get an accurate reading. quantity of that helps a lot. the 2nd we use 3 probes, i don't, they use 15 percent of it's just a question of money to fix good. it has to attend. well, since the name of one of the tasks they have to perform in the yeah, the balloons to race. that maneuver and perform challenges. some of them involve serving a mock up from the balloon targets on the ground. they also have to fly into certain areas which are checked by officials using gps data. they have multiple flights during the week, depending on the weather. pilots get points to that performance each day and the

pilot with the most points with well, so it looks nice. the weather conditions proved tricky in this boat to climate change, just having an impact on 1000 feet, the wind stopped completely and so we didn't next acted to be that strong on the ground, the status of it was almost stronger than any wind up there. the weather is not changing favorably. very often the wind is still good at the ground level, but it's already stronger at 3 level. it's not favorable and these thunderstorms and so on has become much more unpredictable academy. regardless of the weather, the competition requires a lot of background work. no, certainly from the pilots, but also from that teams. the balloons a heated with gas, which has to be refilled off to each flight. the capabilities differ teams from western europe, north america or asia often have new uh, and like to equipment and largest teams. reach his team is smaller. that might see if she is assisted by shorter who is just about to go to university. they are one

of the few female pilots, the co pilot passed the events. shara plans to follow and reach his foot steps and become a pilot test. so i think dr. young, i mean, i watch the other big ones so that rita can keep an eye on the instrument. well, i mean, because it's always the low up and doing that has priority. because you cannot see, of course, if someone starts to rise above us, we have to rise to so that they don't hit us. if we want to defend a check, if someone is around, i took the time, i look at the coordinates and things like that. we are off to a quick sleep back to the race. another doing another briefing, the team start to get ready in 6 folk as it lift the balloons can take off. even in the add, the balloons almost touch. after a difficult stopped, everything goes smoothly in the sky and rita has her best day at the world championships. but the winds make navigation tricky once again as on me when you

was then and then the others ascended smoothly. but then the wind pushes you out in the wrong direction. it doesn't help, and maybe my balloon has a different shape, like where i don't see that so much. and because i'm trying to take care of it and then we'll get you on that. or maybe it's just bad luck. i don't know what she for, but i don't feel that the deluxe actors working for me yet. a me is, i'm going to the center folks to doesn't i can do it was due to the volatile weather conditions. early 5 of the 10 planned flights could take place that the whole event retail finished falls in the women's category at the world championships. who will have the numbers? okay, i'm not happy with my result. that's for sure. it wasn't easy flying between so many balloons, nor with my beloved. it required a lot of going up and down very quickly and it was difficult to track so many balloons. that one's sort of to do, i mean i can ignore them and not care about what might happen if we crash. but i moved up a 117 places in the world rankings validate, so that's not

a bad result of my manual setup man. all the while championship is over, this quote remains an important part of reaches. nice hotel, ballooning is no, certainly an unpredictable spot that always brings has something surprising. it's a passion that connects with her family and friends and a special way of life, including the deposit for a moment to see where you've been, the only make it to australia. for example, if the women's world championships are held there. i've been new america, japan and ballooning is what got me there. despite the financial implications through how tab ballooning rita can explode the wild from new heights the . the new will tell you

the story. we have a getting a visa is more difficult than finding gold hosted to use force and for the future in the stories and issues that are being discussed across the country. the news african next on d. w. online. you know, steve unimportant breaks racial steel production. now that researches have reached the high temperatures with sun life will oil and gas be phase 2 in the steel industry as well. tomorrow today in 60 minutes on the w. living planet dw podcast. how to make greener choices in your everyday lives. but honestly tried
