on april 15th 2019 disaster struck. fire broke out inside the cathedral. the cause has still not been determined with absolute certainty. large sections of the roof and interior were destroyed. an especially dramatic moment was the collapse of the spire. digging back to the 19th century massey and n d j remembers that day very well as conservator of no to them. she was among the 1st to be informed that when you cut back 1st, i couldn't believe it also. then i thought to myself and yet, oh, it won't be on that badge. but i'll go over there anyway. and there on site to, nobody knew how the fire had started, or how much time the firefighters would give us or how many optics we could save in a situation like that. you have no time to think. uh, you just do whatever you can approve uh level the world looked on in horror, but not to downward, stood the infernal, most of the cathedral and its iconic facade were saved, the disaster, and least the ways of both dismay and solidarity worldwide. over $1000.00 people

have been working on the comprehensive restoration for shuttles, plus inside. the biggest challenge for all of us was to finish up on time on the we had to follow a time table. so everyone gave their best to use was such a large scale project included the restoration of the towering paintings. even though they hadn't been touched by the fire for the time we die fairly been removed from the construction work. and it would have been on the thinkable to put them back in the condition they were in. it would have been criminal to do nothing until they urgently needed to be restored desktop. it was like, i'm the last to us you i see of all to now the world renowned cathedral shines and its former glory inside and out. the 1st images to be made public came from a video shot by tesla ceo alon musk. a number of objects were not restored, but re made. it's a pulse convert. i mean, that's the cathedrals. reopening was a good excuse to revamp the interior for furnishings, for instance,

we through the old seats and created new ones, new website. it's meant to be a place of restoration setup for on good. also one of creation test. the baptismal fountains alter, were designed by french sculptor daniel investigate. he was chosen from 69 candidates. his style is minimalistic and modern. every year now for them is visited by some of the $15000000.00 people. and so many of them are not christians or even religious as an in either one year, even so they find themselves in a secret place. so it's important for my creations to appeal to everyone who had a tool all the objects are made of doc, bronze and deliberate contrast to the stone and stained glass of the cathedral. and so what for the 1st of all, you have a very significant building here and it's being restored as faithfully as possible, as except for some elements like my furnishing symbol for them to be seen to google . i had to come up with something different for these,

just put so i made the might of the wrongs and now they're noticeable. and that's a cool nutritional plays. all the doors of know to down will soon open for all. and the 1st mass will be celebrated and the restored house of worship to tiny piece to make what happened was a traumatic experience for me. and it took me a long time to recover from it. but we took the fire, we never would have been able to accomplish everything we've done. yeah. now we have a restore to federal know his, i mean with brand new interior furnishings are these okay. the new look is fabulous . that usually only takes told me all the restoration work won't be completed for another few years. but even with the cranes and scaffolding still surrounding it. no to them is more popular than ever. 5 years after it came so close to being last forever trimming the tree. wrapping presents and baking cookies are just a few of the typical things that many people do at christmas time. but here in

europe there are some lesser known traditions which you may not know. do you know these christmas traditions to from hungry and serbia are calling to read delicacies and one from romania is a musical tradition. hungry like most other european countries, is guessing into the christmas spirit. little pieces of candy, that's an essential part of the home giving christmas are these field chocolate called long support phones to go to so long. so sorta is the taste of my childhood . it reminds me of what he's gone by the fact you know, a dash delicious, sweet and soothing southern supports on so core is also important as christmas tree decorations. but can you eat them even before christmas? candy maker, genuine adults had no problem with that. as a boy on your program through a couple of them we would just wrap lots of paper up in the candy rapper who would so it looks like there was still so long,

so coincide thought on so cost. it is sweet shop, not far from budapest, new has been making so long, so code for weeks. the starts with the term layer of chocolate tech for the turn, the mold over and the top left over chocolate i guess, to put added here. and then comes with feeling usually made of jelly, martha pan or carmel experimenting is allowed by tradition. the christmas tree stands and this alone or living room. and so the can these got their name? the next step in our journey of christmas discovery is north and romania. the colleen there is an old tradition here. children don't traditional costumes and passed through the villages singing christmas carols and branch if i really like getting together with everyone and celebrating jesus is

personally. so please call into the are the cooling to bring generations together then to call old and young qualities, excuse me. the lyrics tell of the lord's goodness that people on earth should emulate you meet the judges. lead them is they'll pick from one to thank the kids for the songs they get home. the collection or sweet ring shapes east bands making and singing carols together can inspire a little holiday. so there isn't everyone before christmas. folks to put songs are very, very own. i'm sorry, i'm 66 and we sang the same carols. every village has its own colinda and even different melodies. movie side and northern serbia is also getting into the christmas spirit. many people here are mindful of the festivals religious significance, but they don't celebrate christmas in december to the orthodox celebrates on january 7. in the morning we wish the 1st male person to enter the house,

merry christmas or the body, and then we'd like candles and look for sweets under the table. my goes, my mother gets up at 3 or 4 in the morning and big spread people to calling in at a client in the bridge. yes, that's right. the serve christmas edition. this cold chess meets the 1st. the still has to be prepared to do is we'll dive into roots and move it into shape. then comes the decisive moment. and then i'll take some stuff here. we have a cooling teeth washed and wrapped in foil then 8. so now we hide it in the do, you know, for the belief is whoever finds the hidden coin at christmas breakfast, we'll have good luck. the units many christmas traditions are vibrant m theory. do you know of any more

christmas solutions we haven't heard of yet? do you enjoy winter sports for many skiing or snowboarding is the highlight of the cold and snowy season. this also includes people with disabilities, but is a not being done so they can also hit the slopes and enjoy themselves. what hurdles do people with disabilities face on sky, holidays and how can accommodations and ski resorts become truly barrier free? we joined to dr. sky, are too much going on in the us to find out what the market is. you can't fix the spinal cord injury almost. well, you have to keep your muscles active. that is, let me put it this way up and my spinal cord injury changes your life and what not for the world. the transmission of us thomas loves the mountains, snow, and winter sports. he's been monitoring for over 2 years now. a diving accident in

2008 left part of his body paralyzed. since then, he's used a wheel chair by for the guy used to love, skiing and snowboarding, but after the accident, i couldn't do anything fun. then i started skiing, bobbing yada. but you need leg strength for that main goal. worse and worse. you have these people didn't much like the idea and then nobody else moved. and then i switched to mando skiing, which is great because as an option, i can use all types of list august, the toes, coolers and so on. to get a, i can see that most luke's idaho set for black crowds. of course that wouldn't work better to just give them austria's kona time. glacier ski resort is one of the most accessible regions for winter sports enthusiasts with disabilities. whenever thomas takes the winter vacation, he comes here the perfect. this will only be really quite unusual as i don't think any other austrian

resort offer so many opportunities for school years with disabilities because i'm seeing the gondola operators cushion pool you onto the left to they spread out mats and they'll stop the chair lift. so you don't fall off of your face so that they're great and it's for me because it's unique here. this is a lot of feedback. thomas enjoys getting around the ski resorts on the zone. so what's needed to ensure accessibility for all ski runs must be well prepared. and ski left specially adapted in the past or not uh, do you have any doctors or staff health model excuse every day on by one. so it's just on a mac. we don't specifically train our staff because every mano square has different needs power to our kid. um, well no, she fall under she to say, i'm not const, this i'm have greater mobility than others on. ready and so for us it's learning by doing here. and she said and guns feeling like we talked to the mama scares and ask

how it can be of assistance, you know, and it's all about communication. the model scares can enjoy the entire resort with sun ski runs at 3000 meters above sea level. you have him, he has for 10. we've laid out plastic knots that make it easier for a lot of skiers glide over than regular ones like nice me. i've had conviction give me nothing. this happened as soon as you can hire. they lied more easily. people with disabilities and those accompanying them can get discount. escape passes that the ski resort, the ski instructor robert topic, or helps thomas get the most out of his experience. robert also uses a mano ski. let the ski do his job phones this last

shift. your position in lean ends all fall. so awesome, but it glad go for it. you got to actually post it your own. check your poster or link forward. stay in position. keeps you on good job. but it was good, it'll just go through the upper body mobility. now he isn't afraid, and he's motivated. you doing really well. it's to know how long they don't get too close. so you've got a larger angle of attack and react better space. so they can that off, so it's good, much better to pass the calling about it. since i've gone through this on the very 1st it's on how natalia is unique because they're basically pioneers. they made the ski resort, wheelchair accessible and barrier free 25 or 30 years ago to see that things have improved a lot. oliver austria in the last 20 years 65 year old thomas lives in hamburg. germany. he works is a surgeon in a large hospital. he met his partner, nadine, which in 2021. the dean runs an association that promotes mobility and diversity on

the baltic. sea island, a female. the 900 kilometer drive from northern germany to austria took them about 10 hours, is bank of the ceiling. i think many people are unaware of all the opportunities available to people with disability. uh yeah. our aim is to show people what's possible. let's get, get this keeps most of the most everyone has the right to exercise. most of you, and that's what we want to promote, the them on stuff on the side, on improving accessibility for everyone. this ski resort shows how it can be done. where's the most unusual place you've eaten? maybe it's in a gondola, or perhaps an under water restaurant, or maybe even hanging above a harbor. but what about in a prison in italy? that's possible this prison serves gourmet meals not to its inmates, but to patrons of the prisons own high class restaurant. to hear the prisoners cook

for on waits on the guests. that begs the question, why with dinars go to a prison for dishes cooked by felons. in what city, while many people are surprised by our professionality, at least that's what they say. we're here voluntarily. we wanted to see the hancocks here, but new. it's a great experience. something else for a change. the crew is made up of felon surfing long. the sentences for the atmosphere is elegant, even if behind bars, the restaurants calls him galera for in jails is the velocity penitentiary in milan, northern italy chest. the mesa has done 10 years, so far as another 4 years to go to sort of many trends. ask how much longer we've got. i'm a crime we committed far, but we don't tell anyone on principle i shall mind initially,

malone's velocity penitentiary is regarded as a model prison with mutual security. many inmates use the opportunity to work in addition to the restaurant, it has a call center. i think the last floating shop and the concept works only about 2 percent of inmate to learn a trade in utilities. prisons commit another crime, as opposed to 70 percent of the general population of offenders. project directors to vehicle larry says the restaurant also brings people from i would cite in touch with the inmates. we've owned a restaurant here in the prison, to show the patrons that prisoners or people just like them, and not extra terrestrials they've shown here, the inmates can prove how well they're able to work the most about chester has been working here as a waiter for 3 years and says he feels like a new man. when he puts on his uniform they say, well, i will to be good at this job. and i enjoyed talking to the patrons and i want them

to enjoy coming here and be satisfied when they leave the new city, whether it's the 2nd one, the career me restaurant behind bars is one of a kind initially unusually booked solid. after passing through security at the entrance, the patrons are shown to their seats by an inmate in the later may not have any mutual on stars, but it did get them mentioned in the michelin guide. the menu include such delicacies, especially to tar and a red b car patch. you meant a shrimp and some in kentucky. a main course typically goes for 24 years. the food is very good and i don't eat meat if they manage that quickly and professionally. say for the sonata need, okay, so no more to the very competence and the to and you can tell they know what they're doing, but also being in the head shift w day. so back is not incarcerated,

but he's been running the prison restaurant since 2015. the supervisors to work with 9 inmates. a note in atlanta is turning a profit. the inmates employees are under contract and earning from 13022400 euro is after taxes. before the 1st patrons arrived, the prisoners get to try it. the dish has to be prepared but the main thing is that they have the chance to work here and learn a trade station or go yours. and i'm very proud of this work and that i was given this opportunity and i've stayed with it for so many years. i've watch, it's hard enough just to find a job and not easy to stick with it. obviously, your joy, i have a little daughter. my wife doesn't work and i can send money home to support them. i work here tuesday through saturday or shingles, and recently i've been getting fellows on some and a lot of yourselves,

a little fly demand going into next year in the later will celebrate. it's $0.10 a bursary. and 10 years of success the inmates who have worked here have what it takes for a great head, start. almost every one of the team plans to work and get strongly meet after they're released. what comes to mind when you think of germany beer, sandals and socks, the outer bond or a reputation for punctuality? we take a closer look at some of these common stereotypes and see whether or not they are true. i am german and most people think of me as a really punctual person. because punctuality is germany's number one virtue, but to be really honest, i'm not always on time. and now i want to find out where the germans really are

that punctual. hold on. wait. i'm here to, i'm you in a german, you later durham and conscious and i can tell you i what the hallways park show. well, if you say still, let's have a look at how, how much of the germans are in their free time and public live and work sounds good . i will be there to show you that he always on time i the germans and the workplace something immediately associated with punctuality and deficiency. that's head to the office to see if it's actually true. oh, that's really it only takes me 15 minutes to get to my work. the meeting is an 8th . what is the train just delayed or something else happens? you would definitely arrive high, your boss is relying on you to be on time. okay, maybe you're right. i can move on. no, i'm much too early. well, really, you can show up for this meeting, this early events. so tween before that side is this dodge tide. this german saying

means you have to arrive 5 minutes early to be on time home and i will get a coffee 1st then by tomorrow that's that has to be taken care of. please hold on. it's 5 o'clock time to go home, but it's still got to finish this up, but it's fine. yeah, we're out of here. you think so? yeah, sure. we just like to leave work on time going by the way to the average. we only work a little bit over time, cause we efficient and we leave and arrive pumped yes, we've been doing this and this over time. that's true. especially compared to other countries, but punctual and efficient. we're not always, i've got to finish this now and i will leave in 15 minutes due to that to be cool working day. you could definitely say that germans plays great value and punctuality at work and it is also rooted and work culture. but what about in their

free time? let's see. i'm meeting my friend liza now. of the we are on time. sure. i don't want to make a wage. now we see, i'm sure she will be along right away. don't worry. 6 your mobile again? she said, you know, she has is the thought it's, she's wasting all a time. in fact, most of a so that the majority of germans expect people being on time or a maximum of 5 minutes late. sorry, i'm so nice. my mobile phone bet for you. right? now, otherwise i would've let you know, of course, no problem name is jeremy. love this when you apologize for being late, then everything is completed on the shelf. copyright read, i yeah. this that, that so. and what about the hobbies as a palm center? i'm when, when is a good time to arrive? well then it gets a bit tricky because often health hotel you are at the party depends a lot on

a context, but who's really on time and a party. we are and we have to bring something. so here, yeah, of we go the oh, what are you doing here already? didn't you say 8 o'clock? oh, it was from 8 o'clock a brief summary. so 8 o'clock means no one expecting you to be on time, but the context is important. and if it's a small gathering, you're more likely to arrive punctually. and if there was food, then you would also probably arrive on time. oh, sorry, can i help you get something ready? dish or with pleasure coming this whole come to the isn't that easy? we can agree it works. the germans are very punctual in the private lives, they're more relaxed. but what about the public life? let's say if i take a trip somewhere,

the hold on is it that the train is not here? no, not really. this isn't typical, but germany it can't be true. to be honest, it happens all the time. just relax our trace of fairly unreliable by you measure as we and ninety's plays out of 27. surprised, i said, well it works and we relate to our meeting. don't worry effect to the end. of course we would still arrive on time, the train and now. well, now we've got of the truth. most probably doesn't be around the key shape. although we do the off being on time. totally german's whole functionality in high regard. and on that timely note, we come to the end of another show. don't forget to hit the subscribe button and follow us on social media. as always,
