landmarks. again, the know saddam cathedral. after a major fire in 2019, it's now reopening to the public and visitors will find some new surprises. at the last 5 years after a devastating fire, the same is not to them. cathedral is finally reopening. begun in 1163. the not for them to putty or our lady of paris. he's a master piece of gothic architecture and holds a special place in millions of hearts. we have noted on today because the victor hugo is passion for it would be the building wouldn't still be standing, see if it wasn't for his passion for us and for architecture. and so he wrote no to down to perry, the architecture, or the design, the details of the structure existence, beautiful. same can see that was me. this church is legendary to also because of all those disney movies. and if you minutes symbolizes the history of friends and religion, what is your cult stats? i mean, you know, a good a or 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 and especially the magic moment was the collapse of the spire. digging back to the 19th century mafia and indeed g remembers that day very well as conservator of no to them. she was among the 1st to be informed that when you called at 1st, i couldn't believe it. so 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 put a live on the world, looked on in horror, but not for damage to the infernal. most of the cathedral and its iconic facade were saved. the disaster unleashed

a wave of both dismay and solidarity world wide over 1000 people have been working on the comprehensive restoration for shuttles. plus 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 well, 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 removed from the construction work. and it would have been on 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 i shall, i see you 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. we're not restored, but re made is impulse can, but i mean that's the cathedrals. reopening was a good excuse to revamp the and are furnishings, for instance,

we through the old seats and created new ones, new website. it's meant to be a place of restoration set upfront, but also one of creation testing. 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, not for them is visited by some of the 15000000 people. and so many of them are not christians or even religious. and then by the one year, even so they find themselves in a secret place. so it's important for my creations to appeal to everyone who of all the objects are made of dark, bronze, and deliberate contrast to the stone and stained glass of the cathedral. and so what's the, 1st of all, you have a very significant building here and what'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 feeling good. so i made

the might of the wrongs and now they're noticeable. and that's a good example. quite as all the doors of know to them 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 the federal know his, i mean with brand new interior furnishings are these okay. the new look is fabulous . that usually only takes told no. oh, the restoration work won't be completed for another few years, but even with the cranes and scaffolding still surrounding it, you know, 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 do these christmas traditions to from hungry and serbia, or calendar read delicacies and one from romania is a musical tradition hungry like most other european countries is getting 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 every my is we have days gone by the south. you know, a dash delicious suite tends to think southern so cut down into 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 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 outer 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 carol. now, experimenting is allowed by tradition the christmas tree stands and this alone or living room. and so the can these go 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 of singing christmas carols. ambridge if i really like getting together with everyone and celebrating jesus as

personally. so please call into 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 as they opened from one to thank the kids for the songs they get home, a collection or sweet ring shaped east buns. making and singing carols together can inspire a little holiday. so there isn't everyone before christmas talks to close songs are very good. the old. i'm sorry, i'm 66. and we sang the same carols. every village has its own cleans. yeah. and even different melodies, movie side in 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. mike o, as 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 meets us 1st can be 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 to eat. so now we hide it in the dough. yeah. and so the belief is that whoever finds the hidden coin at christmas breakfast, we'll have good luck. the units many christmas traditions are vibrant time. the read,

do you know of any more christmas traditions 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 school? holidays, and how can accommodations and ski resorts become truly very a free? we joined, adaptive ski are too much going on in the to find out what the market is. you can't fix the spinal cord injury almost. well, you have to keep your muscles active. the dentist let me put it this way up and you, my spinal cord injury changes your life, but not for the wireless friends. mr. thomas loves the mountains, snow and winter sports. he's been monitoring for over 2 years now. a diving

resort offer so many opportunities for school years with disabilities because i've seen the bundle operators of pollution pool you onto the list to. they spread out mats and they'll stop the chair lift so you don't fall off the face of the they are great because it's unique here. this is a lot of group of feedback. thomas enjoys getting around the ski resorts on his own. so what's needed to ensure accessibility for all ski runs must be well prepared and ski left specially adapted in the bathroom. not uh do you have you talked to our staff health model skews every day on bite wings is just on a mac. we don't specifically train our staff because every mano square has different needs files to our kid um owners. she thought uh unless he does, sir. i'm not consensus. i'm have greater mobility than others on. ready and so for us, it's learning by doing here and see if anything, guns failing me,

we talked to the mom has gears and ask how it can be of assistance, you know, and it's all about communication. the models gears can enjoy the entire resort with sun ski runs at 3000 meters above sea level . you have him, he has to 10, we've laid out plastic knots that make it easier for one of squares to glide over than regular ones like lighting the i've had couldn't reach him. give me masking this happening dawson, as you came here, they glide more easily. people with disabilities and those accompanying them can gets this turn to ski past is that the ski resorts, the ski instructor robert topic or helps tom is get the most out of his experience. robert also uses a mano ski, let the ski do his job. one,

take all shifter position in leanin all falls off. that's it. glad you 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 go ahead. well, he's got food, upper body mobility now he isn't afraid, and he's motivated, you doing really well. so now how long don't get too close. so you've got a larger angle of attack and react better quote space. so they, i q and that off. so it's good, much better is best so caught about it since you're going to switch on that as far as the sounds. but how natal 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 and the last 20 years 65 year old thomas lives in hamburg. germany, he works is a surge and in a large hospital he met his partner, nadine visits in 2021. the dean runs and 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 think 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. good goodness keeps most of the most everyone has the right to exercise most with 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. are going to love or, or perhaps an underwater 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 the patrons of the prisons own high class restaurant. here,

the prisoners cook for and waits on the guests. that begs the question, why with dinars go to a prison for dishes qu, spikes, felons gave him what did he want? 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 no, it's a great experience. something else for a change. the crew is made up a felon surfing long. the sentences for the atmosphere is elegant, even if behind bars, the restaurants called in galera or in jails is the velocity penitentiary in milan and northern italy. chest, the mesa has done 10 years, so far as another 4 years to go. 70 percent of many patrons ask how much longer we've got, i'm a crime we committed 5, but we don't tell anyone on principle shovel mining so 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 a re says the restaurant also brings people from i would cite in touch with the inmates. yeah, we've owned a restaurant here in the prison to show the patrons that prisoners or people just like them. they say, i'm not extra terrestrials they've shown here. the inmates can prove how well they're able to work the most about chester has to be working here as a wait here for 3 years and says he feels like a new man. when he puts on his uniform they said, well,

i want 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 same one the career, me restaurant behind bars is one of a kind initially, and usually 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 on a red, be 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 the neat if they manage that quickly and professionally, say for the sonata, the doctors so no more to their very competence and the to, and you can tell they know what they're doing, but also being

a lot of my head shift w day. so back is not incarcerated, but he's been running the prison restaurant since 2015. he supervisors the work of 9 inmates. a note in the letter 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 see some of the time, very proud of this work done with the rest of and that i was given this opportunity and the mind and i've stayed with it for so many years. well, i think it's hard enough just to find a job and not easy to stick with it, because 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 shingle and recently i've been getting fellows on sunday may go

into next year in galindo will celebrate. that'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? does it in beer sandals and sucks the autobahn 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 year later durham and conscious. and i can tell you, i would be more ways punctual. well, if you say, so let's have a look at how, how much of the germans are in their free time and public life. and edward sounds good, i will do that to show you that he a whole waste 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. 2 and that's really it only takes me 15 minutes to get to my work. the meeting is an 8th. what is the tray we see late or something else happens? you would definitely arrive late. 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 event. so tween for that side?

is this george? he's tied this drum and 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 the has to be taken care of. please hold on. it's 5 o'clock time to go home. but have 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, the average. we only work a little bit over time because we efficient and we leave and arrive, pumped yes, we've been doing less 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 in 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 awaits. now we see, i'm sure she will be along right away. don't worry. 6 your mobile? i again i, she said, you know, she has me, that's all it skips, she's wasting all a time. in fact, most of a so that the majority of the germans expect people being on time or a maximum of 5 minutes late. sorry, i'm so nice. my mobile phone better way right now it's otherwise i would've let you know, of course, no problem and certainly love this when you apologize for being late, then everything is confusing on that. you all copyright read. i miss that. that's how 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,

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

a trip somewhere. the hold on is it that the train is not. you're not really. this isn't typical for germany. it will be true to be honest, it happens all the time. just relax our trace of fairly unreliable by you as, as we and ninety's plays out of 27. surprised, i said, well, it works and we relate to allow me to worry effect to the end. of course we would still arrive on time to train and now. well, now we've got of the truth. most probably doesn't bureau of the key shape. although we do the of being on time totally german told, punctuality 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
