what crazy, the sustainable living, how climate neutral architecture works in switzerland. strolling around where others study a day trip to the city of cambridge and forest and ukraine. how important is the soup for national identity? this and more coming up on general macs, the

each country has its own traditions and the way to do things. so we wanted to know what is the family life like in germany, between daycare school and free time. what values, freedoms and responsibilities to german children have? we met up with 2 families to find out this is lena 11 and max 9. the 2 siblings are on the way to school alone, without the parents. as well for us. it's actually quite normal and some of us must have it's more fun to go with friends. what normal everyday life for parents, michael and rebecca, she and the children is also normal. families across german dropped the children need to have their own experiences in certain areas. it's important for german children to learn self or lines and personal responsibility. but what else can be

to be typical of family life in germany? fish 12 months from m. m, the schmidt family from berlin up to quite average german families. the majority of the 8500000 families in germany have one to 2 children. among demo 1700000 mothers will follow those who are raising the children's 3rd low. at that moment, at the very latest, it has to be clear who is minding. they be fully opposite schmidt and comes out to college from berlin. it was clear from the start that they both wanted to share the parenting and housework equally for up to 14 themselves to the best. most parents in germany receive 65 percent of their monthly income, and both parents are free to split the parental allowance between them. this is suppose to ensure more equality and parenting. since you don't, you type of the time comes when they start to move around. learning to walk and so on. and that was still a parental leave and i got to experience all of that. it's really great. i wouldn't

want to miss it just for possible and i'd recommend it to any father in the 3 folks . the father's only take this career break for the minimum period, which is 2 months. the result, housework and child rearing, is still mainly done by mothers the opposite and calling lots on housing that goes to a daycare center in berlin. in germany, they told liz are entitled to daycare from the age of one, but most of us at 3 the most over here is learning ball plane tied to it. the child has to deal linguistically with other opinions during play. they're independent, but constantly exposed to conflicts and contradictions with playmates, the, the us and they have to learn to compromise and to tolerate frustration of this is practiced automatically during play. yes. and that's why playing is so important. children all code for in this day care from monday to friday, 6 30 am to 5 30 pm in some german state state terrace, free of charge,

and offers to parents have to pay up to a 1000 years a month. and what's that like when the children stopped going to school? let's take a look at the woodmen, family and m. lima unmatched come home from school hungry, around tulsa school, kids in germany, eat lunch at home instead of at school. rebecca works part time and cooks with the family every lunch time lena and macs usually get home from school between one and 2 o'clock until the meal is ready. they prepare their own snacks. they have practice using a show. nice. that's completely normal for us. at some point they just wanted to try to cut something themselves and then you let them of course. so mike, who, who works nearby as a call salesman is also there for lunch. but the kids, like all kids, all picky, don't cheat the curry, they want the home a pizza from the day before lena. next each have their own rooms where they do their homework. they usually finish older assignments and around 30 minutes,

then they have free time. send that off on. i'm kim smith showing them i think you should impose too much stress on a child at such a young age to swing them. kids all skies. you should give the child enough free time to do whatever they want to come on and not schedule their whole day. i mean, for the festival in spite of it was important to both of us that the children practice at least one sports, whatever they want it to most where they meet other kids and also learn to experience successes but also failures of all i need that on can then both children are active in sports clubs outside of school. not just play soccer. lena is a competitive gymnast in germany, around 12 of children and young people play sports in the club. especially the most important thing i'd say is the family togetherness of the that the children feel secure at home and does it,

can the king size it's important that the kids can be kids off and can simply develop and pretty much as the wish. unfinished christian music voice, just as we want them to grow up feeling safe that they know they're valued and they feel love with all the works and differences. it kind of, it can come from this. we can do that and put on the shipment family and pushed holcman families to quite different families who have one big thing in common. they are both raising the kids in a typically german way extreme heat, storms and floods. the consequences of climate change cannot be ignored. a major factor is housing almost 40 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions are caused by the construction and operation of buildings in switzerland building cooperative inventories, trying to do something about it. a construction project in switzerland assessing standards for sustainable building, the hope is vac aims to make climate neutral,

living possible assistance and it's very sustainable and it's also good for the children to grow up like this. so that's the whole thing that projects concept isn't just about climate, but also new forms of communal living. as evidenced by the many common spaces, is this ongoing time connected to the community like this is very good for me as an artist, and it's also about individuals architecture. cast ideas. the staircase is fairly narrow, but also relatively spacious. it connects all the spaces here, so the whole building comes together is a trip from zurich to vento tour. it takes about half an hour by train in the building, co operatives. 5 houses, a good full 100 residents are trying to achieve on a small scale. but the whole of switzerland wants to do by 2050, becomes theo, to neutral. some sort of what type of solar panels on the rooftops generate power

that we feed back into the buildings that we're using recycle construction elements, which greatly reduces the seo term footprint. oh, and so it's exciting and it's, and we're including large green spaces to help reduce much of the excess heat, stuck with the fits the architect cost kind of my cups back them c o 2 by turning in a wide spread use of 2nd time materials. he had windows and stole that were taken from demolished buildings and clouding from an old factory hole. ready these balcony railings used to be bed frames and a prison. recycling materials means using less energy than making new ones from scratch. but it also presents other challenges they months gone each by or you don't even know what materials are going to build within the future. football count plan very exactly. um it's plan and so you don't really have your materials together until construction is just about to start your own interest on the team that leads to a certain in precision for the tooth itself. and it could be,

if you can really see that here, for example, if it's by these frontal facades that bring together a collection of different materials. if you need to extend a patchwork, comments that you kind of have to piece together a testament on this, i'm going to boston most the little bit of vac entire. just a sense of community studio apartments like these are open to the course young and the little to room apartments. residents can combine living and working in one space and posts as by conduct any time. you need to get the say, i like having the working in the living area together in the apartment. also at the time, included in the community in the and the people are always dropping by and looking, arriving. this'll be a comment on though it's often that i am child generous, common spaces and individually useable private spaces. these a cold cluster upon the concept come down on living space, proposed em saves energy here as can some we're a nuclear family,

a 5 my husband to 9 and 3 children. i'm to foster children live with us, and my mother's also go to cluster apartments here. it's nice to have a spacious, common living dining area where we actually spend most of our time and everyone has the private space to attend to it. so it's not just a question of using less energy for heating in the future with global temperatures rising, it also becomes a matter of cooling. the hold of back has created this green spongy area where rainbows it can collect and literally evaporate, cooling the whole complex. that's the time you spent right from the stove. we close at the jungle and it was meant to eventually be like a jungle. a combination of green, lush told trees and different plans that were old promot condensation and about for ration and help reduce the heat and some of the heat. all these different concepts, all combined to know, hold it back to make c o 2 neutral living possible in the near future. i'm so fruit,

communal living concepts offer its residents far more than just cheap and space saving housing. now, let's visit a city in the u. k, that might not be at the on your bucket list, but should be not only if you want to study at a venerable university. yes, it's cambridge from its tradition ridge colleges, museums to punting on the cam river. it's definitely worth a trip to join our euro. max reporter, claire. i'm here in sunny cambridge england to show you why this famous university city isn't just the students. and you can trust me because i used to live it. that's good. cambridge has a huge student population, but it's also is city and destination and its own right. look when you're in

holiday, it's basically an unwritten rule that you've got to stop the day with a massive, delicious thumbs of caffeine and sugar. so i'm here today at the eye clinic fits for these bakery to get my fits police is a cambridge institution that so for 100 years old and it's chelsea ponds, a world famous. it's a 100 year old secret recipe. if i tell you, i'll have to kill you there, but never really know as they come out of the oven. this turned on that face and that they have the syrup pulled up at the top and painted with the big brush. and that's why they sit in the window upside down, soaking in their own syrup, and they get flip to the last minute to bring them to you. all right, let's try it. that is really delicious. what is the best things you can do in cambridge is simply walk around. it's like an open and museum expos easily for the welcome to us.

as the university is in session, we've gone into the college today. but you can so speak a glimpse of the past reading, manicured lawns, from the one eye catching sight. it's street level is the corpus clock, which is the least to be the largest grasshopper clock in the world of which that probably not that many. if you look closely, you'll see it doesn't have tons of digital numbers. the klux radiating ripples a said to a new to the big bag. next, we're doing a classic cambridge activity hunting these rectangular boats on missiles the cities on such a fitness has gone to this, perhaps even more romantic. next we're going on a 45 minute boat to around the back of the cambridge colleges. this is a lovely to a guy told me on the phone you can see and to many university buildings that you otherwise wouldn't be

able to access. a lot of the building projects built around this time, so it's built between 1855 to 31. and since these quotes are very heavy, move quite false, become really slow them down a lot. a lot of them is often sometimes people fully as well. oh wow, that you'll be fine. don't worry. now we're going to pick up a typical cambridge even a told roger and amy's may look like a sound that issue to a shop. students actually buy the academic robes. so you to it's one to the american yet think history has made me a little bit texas, so it's fine for the quintessential breakfast, lunch. supermarket sandwiches. if

you want to be reading british the best place to enjoy your sandwich is outside. come rain or shine. i don't know about you, but when i'm somewhere else, historic is cambridge. it feels wrong to know go to a museum. so today we're going to this incredible new classical building. the fitzwilliam in here, you can see treasures from antiquity angler section and well famous oper. well, this is a really, really special collection and i recommend adding it to your itinerary. the know what's really cool is it the fits really museum is home to over 500000 objects somewhere around the world. and even better entry is for the we're finishing up a day with a real english pine and a real english pub. so what do you think?

have i convince you to go to cambridge today? madison? there is probably no dish that means as much to ukrainians as borscht. the soup is popular in many eastern european countries. but in ukraine it's a symbol of their identity. especially in these times of russian aggression and war . we want to learn what goes into a good bar and why it's so important to the country. the board reflects the calling every identity. if you crane like no other dish the and for many ukrainians. it's much more than a simple soup of most low blood washed in, which is the boss is a popular dish, loved by ukrainians, europeans, americans, and asians. if you tried it and didn't like, typically you don't,

you may have been stuff the wrong kind of watch eclipse. i can watch this problem if you will take board from us. you can also take the language for us and you can also take the lifestyle from us and then tell me what nice. and we are according to some estimates, the russian attack on ukraine cost hundreds of thousands of deaths and injuries, and displaced more than 6000000 people since it began in early 20 to 22. russia's name is to conquer and dominate the country. ukraine is now trying to survive while preserving its own identity. that includes preserving its language and traditions. and the national dish portion belongs to the separate. many people considered borscht a russian dish, but the exact origins are in disputes. there are many indications that it

originates in ukraine night bullshitted. yesterday i'm going to be taking the most common ingredient out of to boston, detroit. however, there are several types of things such as red leap salad, be hot feats, etc. and all types of falls to mostly include greens, although they're all variations that are cooked without grace. and instead include colic onions with beats, potatoes, or tomatoes. every family, every, every cook, every sessa is adding to divorce. so it's like in france, so when you say you have to go to profit the x to be discussed here. this time you have to do depressing voice, as you only can to be that says, it doesn't matter what kind of was a new cooking and may not be a zip. this is what is your bar. she involves this question pops up everywhere, including the kitchen or give him purple 10 coast restaurants in the capital,

keith, he's pushing for boys to be recognized as ukrainian cultural heritage. the further east at the elaina shared abundance, local history museum. it's all about the speech. what's the way so it wouldn't be available today we are preparing folks in a claypole. it's a traditional ukrainian fost made in the oven, and cooking in the oven is very simple and noisy. we placed the me to send it with mussa and add the dental it apart from having all kinds of extra business. bush can have dozens of further ingredients. the broth can be made with b for pork fish or even mushrooms, depending on the region. fried lard gives a strong flavor. pour groups and vegetables are added. truss or

for meant to drip beats takes care of the a city. the smoke from a traditional oven gives it the final touch. borscht comes in old forms with all kinds of ingredients. there was not a single borscht recipe nor one way of talking. it's nice building usage to yet will ukrainian boast has one thing in common. it has mostly boiled. the queue is going well, he approval to wine. you violates the bushes prepared and eaten all over your train from the country side to the cities. despite international kizzy, gaming and popularity. for many here, borscht is more than just a simple dish or represent so culture. i'm the color mary, schools of all women. much right. there's the, you know, like the 1st dish,

gone on to create corky, colorful photographic art, which tells stories about a world that is falling down. so what happened here? these images seem disturbingly real, but in fact there meticulously staged compositions created by central jo donald, the italian photographer, focuses on moments when everything falls flat, literally, outside of rome, he's working on a new catastrophe. photo is something we saw felicia, i'm very happy, but i have to get the picture in the can cause of it k. i can't calm down until the photo is down and put on that, you know, star city and on some i think we love this much can be told the pictures features an older woman, a toy boy, a classic sports car, and a gag. the scene is a reference to a social issue, but more on that later the i or any of these mishaps comes from realizing that

everything can change in a flash as sondra is your donald know is from his own experience. jordan ocean develop on a stylus coming home from a fitness center on my bike and didn't see a pothole and a b stone. i've got to get to a flu up at the crash sooner, but i don't. so we'll get to the football. i flew it by 3 or 4 meters through may have to be more, i hit pretty hard to try to sound. there was a lot of work to might hurt myself badly stroke. you know, i'm your mine or your not. i saw that i still have the protein bar clenched in my hands that i've been eating after working at the own setup inside of getting that gave me the idea that we humans have some kind of issue with material things. brand new methodology. he calls his action packed art and exclaims, went on to shoot his known de plume is remy demi, specified some of the light, often people think the subjects are dead, but they're not corpses. what can i do? they just fell down to see 40, which viewers might see themselves, and those are pretty good of me. i never showed the faces,
