you sound like over. to get a transaction sounds confidence but it wasn t always that when i started her career the singer he johndroe for that became a trademark. i was shy i was scared i was didn t know what to expect i maybe i also covered myself a bit like they would like why should curity how i don t know and then when i started now with this album i was like. now i know it s not going well now and so now it s time to take it off and i have to show like i m also much more confident and. yeah i feel much better than i did before and with a new self confidence confidence has also struck a

activists against my shield going to. be the land of the land. but who will leave the borneo case starts october ninth on the w. hello welcome to your max the lifestyle magazine here on the w a thanks for joining us is a look at what we have in store for you today. quite impressive how frank was all tom has been making music again. really daring why we followed so willing to take huge risks. simply delicious how can i brought my tweets about fish soup in italy. and i won who enjoys listening to rock music knows the classic album covers the permit the cow or the powell planned but on based design studio hypnosis created these and the record cover us for bands such as pain floyd led zep and then ac d.c. in the seventies and they were considered sensational at the time now get away and the wind has put together a few highlights for an exhibition that kicks off this weekend. one of the most famous album covers of all time pink floyd s the dark side of the moon the result of a night of brainstorming. i was looking through a physics book. and inside the physics book was a picture of a glass paperweight with light coming through a window and it created a rainbow effect stormont to me i ve got it he said a triangle like this with a source light on the rainbow coming from it this sums up floyd. was one of the founding members of the london design studio hypnosis between one nine hundred sixty eight and one nine hundred eighty three he and his now deceased partner school for this one created some of the most iconic album covers in music history now some fifty years later an exhibition in bellini s browse gallery looks at the studio s legacy it all began in one thousand nine hundred sixty eight it was revolution and you know everything was changing the world of young people was changing storm focus and i shared a flat with syd barrett who was the originator of a floyd in london and. when the pink floyd came to do their second album source of full of secrets we happened to be around and suddenly one of the it was david gilmore who had joined lloyd said all we have to find somebody to do the new album cover storm it was never backwards it coming forwards but obvious alice said well there it also full of secrets was the start so we re career in which hypnosis developed a completely new style for album covers they presented epic landscapes provocative text and abstract collages inspired by surrealism records lease became. this isn t all this is directly respond to sean. in a way that it has nothing to do with music it has nothing to do with the lyrics it has nothing to do with the title. other things like this you see on the actual album cover there is no title. and this was really lateral thinking in the states and the record companies would but it worked because it stood out soon all the artists were commissioning hypnosis to design their album companies like led zeppelin peter gabriel and black sabbath powell and designed over three hundred album covers in ben london studio. we were ever going to do a picture of a rock n roll. bands like pink floyd they appreciated that and said we don t want a picture of us on the front we want something interesting we want something different and they didn t think about the commercial aspect they had no interest in not at all they wanted something that was important creatively some creations group done intentionally provocative like this for the scorpion album lovejoy. and the one nine hundred seventy three the figures on led zeppelin s house of the holy proved too much for some. it was hugely successful nomination program me and all that stuff but in middle america. christian fundamentalists they said oh you have to put a stripe across the children s bottoms so we put a japanese o.b.o. a piece of white paper to cover it up with a name that. is it a photo montage or a real picture of the graphic design of the play with perceptions and bands paid them handsomely for their well. one of their most spectacular productions was the man on fire the pink floyd s wish you would hear about today a businessman shaking hands someone being bugs in the deal and i remember saying to storm this is a great idea. so i flew to l.a. i went to. studios but. for real the difference between hypnosis in the one nine hundred seventy s. and now is you have photoshop you do go all that info to show but hypnosis always shot everything for real. with the advent of c.d. s in the early eighties interested in record companies started to wane hypnosis dissolved in one thousand nine hundred three but their greatest album covers remain in our collective memory to this day. and i treasure a music icon and the french politician we ve put together a particularly creative express for you today. the fair for modern and contemporary art is underway at the german capital temple course some one hundred twenty calories from twenty countries i hear sending their works to collectives from around the world in recent years but then has become a big draw for artists and as home to a thriving art scene. this is where art happens in this country this is exhibit is the crucible where art is made. this his face is dominated by large format paintings and object arts. these two words by stanley an installation artist. also attracting lots of attention. from a beatle paul mccartney has written a new children s book called a grand duke the picture book relates to ventures of a gentleman with his grand children. grandchildren and they re all beautiful. one of them said to be a grown. ok. so from then on i was no use trying to. come in children s book an adventure novel called the clouds came out in two thousand and five but kids will have to wait until september two thousand and nineteen to read a grand do. caricatures of french president manuel micro are currently on display at the drop me on my crawl exhibition in more switzerland works by eighty artists from france belgium and other countries are on show at the house of press caricature. some caricaturists say the politician is hard to satirize because he s simply too attractive visitors have until september thirtieth to visit the exhibition and see for themselves whether the drawings capture the essence of a man well mccraw. this week the city of frankfurt is in the mood to celebrate the reason germany s banking capital has a completely new old town quarter during the second world war the oldest part of the city was almost completely destroyed many years and a lot of our work went to into it was storing it and some new buildings were even at it everything on the side of the original half timbered houses now the reconstruction is finished and people are couriers to see the results including us . beneath frankfurt s modern urban skyline only a few hundred metres from the sky scrapers a hard tim but houses and narrow lanes the banking metropolis has rebuilt its all town in march nineteenth forty four the seven hectic quarter was reduced to rubble in a single air right. now much of it looks as it did long ago. architects and urban planner york i m your den has reconstructed the most beautiful of the old buildings like the house of the golden scales which once belonged to the dutch spice merchant and confectioner abra handphone hommel. gotten by the golden bargain by thais about ending in the case of the house of the golden scales and partly for other buildings we were very fortunate that a great many elements had survived the war in the city and we managed to talk to the owner of many parts of the hours of golden scales into giving us these stones that he used to build his library as a relation. modalists of fun hamel family heirlooms mentioned gilded waterspouts shaped like dragons. a total of fifteen buildings will reconstructed while twenty more would build new in the historical style even many local people are booking to us to learn more. if you re going to reconstruct something you need photographic records today the square is called that you know mark dorian s market your one vote for gooders melber lived in the origin of building on the site she was the sister of gurkhas mother little johan lived with her for a year when he was six and in his old age she wrote about his memories are not the newborn either but in. the courtyard with their arcades preserve some of the old charm. at one time merchants from all over europe station when they came to fame is in frankfurt the city s tourism director is overjoyed at the new old town i know so it s new to look on the one hand it s a residential area a neighborhood of reconstructed part of town that s been completed with great success on the other there s a huge demand among the asian american and british tourists to come and see this new world is you know i start to see but not just to aristos. he s asked why he just does annoy. this is the first time i ve been through the new old town and it s totally fascinating that they managed to reconstruct so much i really like is it. my very first impression was that i thought it was beautiful it s aesthetic the nice for sauce and everything turned up very well i don t know how much money went into it raises the question of whether it was the right investment or not. it still seems pretty lifeless to me what can i say it doesn t have any real human element yet maybe it will when the right shops move in leaving only selected shops will be allowed to open for business in these buildings like this wine store. close by one of us is oldest pottery makers has opened a shop. just in the most popular writer mother little houses probably because the tourists who come here like the idea of a souvenir of the house is typical of the region it s not kid they have their charm and you can see the love that our crafts people have put into our pieces. and this bob i came up with a concept that got him a spot. where this is what this corner already is something of a village character the shopkeepers all know one another. time i m. in addition to the shops of the two hundred rental units will be made of. in the old town the old told the entire project cost around two hundred million euros you could norden sees the result as well worth the investment. because it s here can remember to see how things were in the past and now they can ask themselves how should we proceed into the future the hearts of frankfurt is beating again the way it once did and for many here that may be just a start. it s always been man s dream to take of the skies like a bird in flight and thanks to modern technology it is now possible for those there devotees who want to get as close to the real experience as possible there is the wing suit and this big serious extraordinary half latics we ve already presented some weird and wonderful sports activities but today s example is probably the most extreme of extreme sports jumping off a cliff at a dizzying hide isn t recommended for everyone and it s very very dangerous. but we have. images that take your breath away high up in the swiss alps unconscious on a dull long scandals of the condo wings of pilots meet regularly to plunge off cliffs in their back like suits in everyday life they may be bank his nurses oh i see specialists but in their free time they want an adrenaline rush not here with about ten or fifteen other friends from all over the world and it s really cool cause we never really get an opportunity like this so i ll jump together it s really cool be able to share this experience the everyone. wins to have fabric under the arms and between the legs when the planet fools this extra fabric acts as wings when two pilots race through the air and up to two hundred fifty kilometers an hour and extreme experience that many find addictive. and the feeling you see is happiness for me at least after i ve done a nice jump i m really really happy and fulfilled and that s the main reason why i do this you can even put words to how good it feels to try to explain it to my friends and i say it feels like you re falling in love every time you make it. and then brennan is well known in the ways it seems she s won many competitions the out is here on pick it is either going in a wing suit because instruction and training a false move can result in a deadly accident. one hundred forty two wings two pilots have been killed since this extreme schools became popular at the beginning of this century. but many parents say the risk is possibly kick. obviously we all know that there are risks booked the reward is so much higher that we are willing to take the risks we take these risks because. yeah it s an incredible feeling when you when you can control your body and your wing suit and fly where you want. we suit base jumping for many it s the ultimate sports the doctor few minutes even the highest flying turns to come back to. well that lose both winning and exhausting i have no doubt that those wingsuit fliers are hungry off the jump like that lucky for them italy is right next to switzerland we ve got a great tip coming up on our latest installment of your m x i catch up where we introduce you to a traditional dishes from all over europe that you can prepare at home in your own kitchen you can find this recipe and many more on our website at d.f.w. dot com slash lifestyle so what s cooking today we re heading to rome to try out what just might be the best fish soup ever. most american solely is on his way to his favorite fishmonger in the middle of friends i ll tell every day the ship buys a freshly caught fish for his restaurant. here he finds everything he needs for his famous fish soup. was considered a meal for poor people the basic recipe is centuries old. procedure that at two point three shoot dates back to the romans. michigan they took what cash was left behind by the fishermen and boiled it in seawater on board their ships and that s all the broth was made of but i ll bet they are the same that was buried things like muscles were uttered not your part of every good fish so a little bully me here we have both clams and mussels he recalled says you bully gentle ball. most of us says there s hardly a fish all seafood that come into a good soup even that dog fish all good it and definitely shellfish so has he got it oh. there was something else. once you know the mussels we forgot the mussels by going to gold s here. to respond to they needed an orchard to see my parents opened their restaurant in the mid one nine hundred sixty left to go to the fish was available seven days a week and my father brought his passion for fish with him from sicily your father vinny with us issue and the second generation of the family to run the restaurant you use on all of you on the journey that s your own it. says the fishes gutted and filleted whatever s left over such as head and fins is put into a pot of boiling salted water along with center east. carrots and onions the fish stock has to simmer for about an hour to develop its full flavor in the meantime most emotive chili fries garlic and chili in plenty of all of oil the squid is the first to go into the hot oil it has to cook the longest because of its tough meat. we re finally everything is doused in try white water. in crisp or we. know we need tomatoes because the fish can cook very well in tomatoes. tomatoes which doesn t just give the whole thing a great color it will be the taste of fish and tomatoes just goes well together if you re to be sure it will go. shellfish and mussels are added after that and then finally the fish process which gets to see if it s characteristic taste. it s then seasoned with fresh herbs. over your meat and this is enough for four people. we put the soup down in the middle of the table and everyone takes what they want some broth the fish. leave baby. a push of salt as much as possible feels the need phone. and then everything is poured into a hot serving dish. and once wine is the traditional choice when serving fish dishes but i must admit it surely recommends the red wine. and cheese and this is a change from the lots you know reach. it will be. full bodied but it s fresh at the same time. and goes very well with the taste of the fish soup so. you know what a fish soup. a tasty way to spend an enjoyable meal with friends or family. there are any number of ways to furnish a home but most people want something comfortable unaesthetic leap easing that also applies when you go on holiday we ve shown you some rather unusual accommodations here on the program over the past few days i have to say i m looking forward to our next report we head into the black forest here in germany they can spend the night in an old wine barrel sounds weird but it looks quite cosy to. imagine spending the night in a vineyard surrounded by a group from that hotel and suspect fired in

less traffic we go it s quiet and peaceful and then get my guns in c. he can just sit back and relax and enjoy the landscape guns of the scenery the sunset when the calm it s wonderful the guns toward

how terribly hot it was so we opened up all the doors and windows then in the evening after the sun went down it was a lot more pleasant wind picked up and really cool things off it was lovely. people come to suspect in from all over germany to get a taste of this unique experience next to the bedroom barrel there is another one with the refrigerator for wine of course a sitting milk and a small bathroom. there s even on site catering on the food and drinks are brought directly to your barrel for one hundred sixty euros a night it almost feels like you re in another world market returned all unfair and you are thrilled. it must suck i m with you have to stay at least two nights to really get a feel for it of my the first night is so amazing you keep asking yourself is this real am i dreaming about yesterday we were really able to relax and settle in and could really enjoy the second night it s incredible to look out at the stars at night while lying in bed around midnight we went inside but couldn t sleep for another hour we were just so busy gazing at the night sky so incredible. the frontiers first heard of the barrel abode overlooking the black forest in the rhine valley

your passion. but talents failed to determine its outcome. in negotiations lasting many years mediators succeeded in breaching agreement. it was the birth of modern diplomacy. sixteen forty eight. years starts october twenty fourth do you w. . welcome to be in good shape on d w here s your host dr constantly quote from the moment of fertilization until the big day today we re going to look at the nine months that lead to the birth of a new orne child today in good shape it s all about pregnancy and therefore i m going to meet dr tina dombrowski who s the chief gynecologist here at the even if i come from a house in britain. welcome to. pregnancy is a wonderful time in a woman s life it s not a disease but if there are complications today we can help. or was it when you realize that you re pregnant. and that we have a happy accident yeah. just happy and cannot wait he says if. you operate me and wonderful news for many couples. and with the help of ultrasound doctors can follow the fetal development closely but there might be diagnosis and certain conditions being detected. and then the couple has to decide what is the next step. no is an active and clever four year old. but it didn t look like things would turn out that way. when his mother sorry i was six months pregnant with him test showed that the membrane between the left and right half of noah s brain was missing that can be a sign of a genetic disorder such as treme thirteen or eighteen doctor explained what that might mean when the kindle event we were helped of and we were told that when those babies survive top earth they usually just live a few days that s what they sent us away with so at that point he believed he wouldn t survive the tour. and if he did he might be completely disabled. and a very uncertain of being told that we would lose our child and at such a late stage in the pregnancy felt like the world was caving am. an amniocentesis soon proved that the baby did not have a traditionally disorder but there was still the question of the missing membrane the doctors warned that the baby might be born blind or disabled suddenly sorrow and mark were being asked if they wanted to terminate the pregnancy. so immediately as having been we never considered it and certainly not for a disability if we thought he d be in pain or would have been suffering the maybe i d have thought about it a little more life and. know as father mark has now quit his job as a laboratory assistant and he s studying to become a pediatrician. you know it s going to start soon and as we went through the various stages with the doctors they didn t really deal with us as human beings and they didn t seem very understanding and we said we didn t want all of that that s why i thought medicine might need someone who s more focused on the patient someone with real empathy who will approach things on that human level of management it s again when noah finally arrived it became clear he was a healthy child. so catarina has gone to the delivery room and we ve got some time to talk and what do you think are doctors empathetic enough in such situations i hope so. sometimes it may be that s not. usually we know about the special situation of the couple and we tried to help them in this situation we just saw in the report that the couple decided to have the child despite of the poor diagnosis but i guess there s a lot of pressure going on for abortion so so what s your opinion of how much pressure is there on this kind of prenatal diagnosis i think lots of peter that i did know also make this pressure the change in the social values in our society everybody wants to have a perfect product and i think the printed idea gnostic is a result of this development and it s not the reason for this development is there some pressure on you as an o.b. g.y.n. in performing the fetal prenatal diagnosis i by myself don t feel this pressure i see it s my duty to live and why this couple what we can do today what possibilities of diagnosis exist and very important to do that before not idea this isn t done and to think about the consequences before you have to understand and why are women encouraged to have those tests just because of older age of the pregnant woman sometimes it s because of old age because. increasing. means increasing risk of kinetic monkeys. more and more of the younger women do or demand for. this they want to have. a perfect baby it s a good vision it s ok but they don t accept. anything else and how accurate are those tests the tests can only show you the probability of getting a baby and if there is. a question of the baby is healthy or not then it s necessary to do invasive tests like and that s and to use this. to prove that how fetus develops depends largely on what it is period says in the group take alcohol for instance especially if it s consumed in large amounts by the mother could be dangerous to the child in germany up to five thousand babies born and nearly damaged by alcohol and that can take a long time to diagnose. but. enough is a very special connection with animals. when she s playing with her friend s dog she blossoms. but with people she has problems she often rubs them the wrong way. more aggressive than other people. i feel bad about it and it hurts even though i want to be friendly it doesn t always work. i m all. cut up lena has fetal alcohol spectrum disorder her mother drank during her pregnancy cut to be in this condition isn t immediately apparent for a long time her foster mother susanna had no idea what was wrong she worried and doubted her parenting skills and often felt guilty. it was so hard to understand. why doesn t she understand something she s already learned why is she forgotten something again why can t she grasp a situation in many respects she seems very intelligent and empathetic in others it just doesn t work. we know lived with susanna her husband and their biological daughter deborah from the age of three months she was very active from the start and made a lot of demands on her foster parents. and i m a quiet whenever we had to cross the road she would just refuse and throw herself on the ground i d have to pick her up and carry her but she s also very affectionate he might have. things got harder at school catalina couldn t concentrate and was always trying to be the center of attention. she would talk a lot. and then she d start interrupting people during conversation. she d interrupt even louder and maybe start banging around and. even turn in someone s face toward her when they wouldn t listen things like that. now doesn t. mean i kept making the same mistakes. she either didn t understand rules or forgot them just like her times tables her teachers didn t believe she was trying to learn them they thought she was stubborn and lazy. this helps him and i told the teacher many times that some days i d remember them but on others not. and he said fine. and. the next day he d forgotten how it is yes it was really dumb of him to pick on me. confess my eyes what if he did that seems like he was picking on you. the one who said you can do it even though i told him so many times i couldn t even though i was trying. but he kept going on at me. and then i d lose my temper. of you know was frustrated and her teachers were too even though they were all giving their best of you know ended up changing schools several times then when catalina was thirteen she was on a read an article about fetal alcohol syndrome and realized that the description was a match. she was sent to a clinic for tests which showed that she had brain damage due to prenatal exposure to alcohol. i was shocked that she has a disability and it s permanent no matter how many fantastic therapies i can find or how brilliant a parent i am. certain things won t change. and that s one more time in the exact opposite when my mother told me i have fetal alcohol syndrome i gradually began to understand why i m so. and so different from the of those. unless. the diagnosis helped catch a reno wasn t to blame nor was her family. going to colleges like tom a good options university clinic warned against even the odd glass of wine during pregnancy. one nine hundred eighty s. and ninety s it was common to hear that it s ok and that a little alcohol will help raise blood pressure again after the baby s born things you can still hear some gun ecologist say but women shouldn t drink at all during pregnancy because we just don t know how much if any alcohol is safe. but the experts know that many women drink alcohol when they don t even know they re pregnant. dr cooper says that s no reason to panic. because when it comes to alcohol doing serious damage very early in pregnancy it s an all or nothing affair. the fertilized egg makes it or it doesn t if you re trying for a baby then it would be better to stop drinking. as soon as you know you re pregnant then you should definitely stop altogether. the fetal alcohol syndrome happens in the womb but the effects are felt for a lifetime today caterina lives in a home for people with developmental disabilities and visitor foster parents on the weekends. and her husband knew they wouldn t be able to parent or alone in the long term. and like every young person catalina wanted to spread her wings she has plans for the future. there s a few women i d like to find my own apartment with someone who maybe comes by once in the morning and in the evening check the time make a. good. time to also like to find a job i enjoy doing. i like working with animals that s why i d like to do something with animals. as my home because. many adults with fetal alcohol syndrome struggle with the challenges of adulthood. touch of the misfortunate that she has support and her special connection with animals. dr dombrowski what do you think are patients and pregnant women informed enough about the risks if i call and they re even got a clue just to say this occasional glass of wine doesn t hurt i think the couples today are very good informed they do it and usually they do it by internet. they can find all the information is important but surely it depends on the social status of the couple so we have still those problems this. happens next to a whole there are a lot of things a pregnant woman can do to harm their child because it s nicotine that s a big problem with its abuse of drugs much as a problem and if you are exposed to radiation that s also a very very thing but there are a lot of things pregnant women can do right yes they can do they should live their lives before because pregnancy is not a disease so you can do all the things you have done before exercise and be fit each healthy this much which means. it s all the singles if the mother feels good the baby fields. so this is a hospital but not let s take a look how rebirth takes place. in a packing center. you know what it will be. a girl a girl ok she s in the right position pose it to an expectant mother is being examined by a midwife at a birthing center in berlin here she is in the baby moved over into the pelvis to get into a good starting position. this will be child number two for the mother and tania. asked one hundred five centimeters. i think. i feel comfortable here and i have a lot of faith in the midwives. most pregnant women don t get to enjoy an experience like. the midwife uses a wooden stethoscope to monitor the child s heartbeat christina shopper has helped to deliver around a thousand babies in her thirty years in the profession spending the first five in the maternity unit at the hospital. there is a difference to a hospital where there might be three or four women giving birth but. you don t have as much time to attend to them. and sometimes they get a hormone trip to speed the labor up. birthing center the midwife provides even before. they have plenty of time to get to know their mothers starting with the prenatal classes. or here it s sort of like grit your teeth and let s get this done and if things get bad there is no option here for an anaesthetic or morphine based medication. as a midwife i believe that the best pain killer is a caring and attentive midwife. praises and encourages you and keeps telling you we ll do this together. a. little polish three years old today he s accompanying his mother and his little sister she was also born here the center in a relatively speedy delivery unlike her brother. miami athens or. about eleven and a half hours into things i spent a while in the boss and then late but just stalled. somehow failed to find the exit . most matches my brother not so much in what might have happened if i d been out of hospital as kinds of unnecessary interventions i might have had you can see wouldn t have been necessary. but for midwives questions of liability are a growing burden. midwives can t do their jobs if they re constantly afraid they might get sued. that s no way to work of course you do have to be aware and attentive but you can t constantly be afraid. more than seven thousand children have been born in this birthing center but a growing number of women prefer doctors to midwives. it when you go to the doctor and you prescribed a ton of vitamins as soon as you re pregnant you get the sense that without them the baby wouldn t grow and be healthy unfixed. and then there s all the examinations during pregnancy it can be really stressful and make women more and more anxious. we get women here in the birthing center who say this is the first time that someone s ever touched their belly. some of us he meant to harm you first had that natural touch is what i m tony appreciates that she gets to hear her baby s heartbeat without high end technology. great is the world i think it s a good look if you smile i mean. i think this is. pretty . and i think it s because the station has spent as much time as possible with the woman and her baby afterwards and. in this close contact you just. want a relationship with the woman and a baby and a father of course and then as you depend on each other so what s next. i think it s to be a part of america every time the baby cries for the first time like went to see that parent smiling at the baby after get invested it i think this is one for yeah . and i think it s obvious he. gets. to see. the you see. the heartbeat of an unborn child half an hour before she enters the world my sister arean section. of your book is the i ll be doing the c. section is going to be a screen between us but you ll be able to talk to me commutes you just start the mother herself up to the c. section for the birth of her first child was a traumatic experience involving complications. once in the operating room she s given an epidural an anaesthetic injection to numb her lower abdomen and legs during a non emergency c section the mother remains fully conscious. of the growing number of parents ask for a c section even when the surgery is not a medical necessity. many say it s because they want the safest possible. and this would. take we see the pregnancy and birth as a special event because if one month when people had six or seven children it was something that didn t get much attention but today everybody is a major event a lot of people see a c section as the safer option easier to plan for than a spontaneous delivery. but c sections have risks too it s major surgery so there can be complications some mothers also round up without haitians a kind of internal scar tissue. found because labor helps clear the baby s lungs of fluid the newborn is more likely to have breathing problems. if you. do you know. not every section is planned often the decision is made when labor is already underway. but there are ways to safely reduce the number of c sections. there are three important areas where we can help reduce the c section rate is first of all when there are changes to the fetal heart rate during birth. it s knowing which changes mean an intervention is necessary and which don t can help lower the c section rate. in these the next point is knowing that after a woman has had one c section it doesn t automatically mean all future births will have to be c. sections to. another very frequent reason for c. sections as when a normal labor appears to have stalled there are new studies that provide insights into labors that fail to progress. so these three areas and those insights can help us lower the c section rate without increasing the risk to mother or child. in twenty fourteen almost thirty seven percent of the facts that this hospital by c section three years later updated standards help reduce the rate to twenty nine percent putting the hospital below the average rate for germany. this mother and her new born daughter doing well after the c. section. how is caterina fairing these baby was delivered by dr dombrowski. just performed a c. section on katrina and how did it go it was the fine everything was fine and the baby is fine it s another child ok yes mother tried are ok and the fossil to the father just very very hard of course that s right so what does a c section for mother and baby i mean it s not the natural way of kids are born no it s not the natural way it s an ep to know surgery and with all the possible complications of an afternoon surgery but sometimes if you have a medical indication for it then it s a better rate but most of the time it s not the better way so there are medical causes for performing a severe inspection and there are no medical indications as well we do sometimes see sections on demand of women of the couple at once you have a baby person section if you re in brazil the road at the top of the babies born in the country by syrians. yes that s true brazil is a country of of the highest rate of c. section in the world i think one of the reasons is that the health system has change. now it s necessary to have a presence of a doctor my wife during the whole birth and that needs some time of ten hours twenty hours and it s very difficult to play so they do the reverse by c. sections cause faster it s faster you can plan it you can do it in the morning and not your of the night so that s one of the reasons but what is your opinion as an overage weigh in about this there are some reasons to do worse the sexual that that s clear the better way if possible it may and there might be even some problems with the microbiome of the baby after his section this is what all of you . from brazil wrote to us yes that s why it s important for the baby to be colonised by bacterias of the badge of the mabo. they need this to develop in this system. it needs to be. colonised by his intestine and all these things are necessary for the baby. is it ok for us to resist the new born child i said so i think so before we go should questions for me to ask our experts should write to me. on an upcoming show we ll be talking about drugs many people take psychoactive substances to relax or pop pills to boost their cognitive performance but is drug use bad for your health. questions to be in good shape at d w dot com right drugs in the subject line we look forward to hearing from you. so you feel no. better for the c.

personal three d. avatars. mass state surveillance. and a new look at the old masters but first. architecture is serving human rights using data gathered online the forensic architecture collective investigates crime scene the team from london presents their results in court or in museums. the bomb cloud has an architecture in itself it has a temporary architecture lasting for about eight minutes. looking at the shape of the cloud each cloud is very unique each was one has a particular fingerprint the organization forensic architecture is unlacing the structure of bomb close to reconstruct war crimes just one method of determining the correlation between the times and places of the crimes. using satellite recordings method data and pictures from social media the team is trying to meticulously reconstruct the scenes of war crimes on the sequence of events leading up to the recordings of civilians on site or set in treaties visualization of positions in relation to the scene of the crime. if someone is recording a freedia some. times risking their own lives recording a video in an urban environment and posting it online we need to treat it like a message in a bottle they ve put that message in and through it so that maybe somebody would look at. the israeli architect of and set up the independent research group in twenty eleven before that he worked as a human rights activist in palestine. forensic architecture sees its role as that of vested interest. they focus on buildings where violent crimes were committed. most conflict these days take place in cities take place in a in an environment that has a lot of civilians it has media in it that is very complex and in order to understand it we need new tools it sounds complicated but in essence it s simple showing what happened telling the story of an event in a coherent way and in the process providing legal evidence of crimes against humanity. even if there are no photos or videos. of the activists tried to apply their methods to the notorious syrian torture prison side. together with amnesty international and soley based on survivors memories and statements they reconstructed a virtual view of the military prison which is totally inaccessible. the prisoners were locked up in darkness and forced silence. they only have acoustic memories blows screams door slamming footsteps in the hallway the rooms are architecturally reconstructed with the help of acoustic engineers about if. i can tell if they are punching or kicking or hitting them against the wall. i can tell the difference. by the sound of screaming or by the sound of the two hitting the body. nightmarish reconstructions that result making the detention conditions of the prisoners almost tangible the objective is to bring lawless states in inaccessible regions to the attention of the public even in countries with no freedom of press but the investigative approach has received a lot of criticism too when we get criticised and whether it is by. by the kremlin by the israeli authorities it is always done with the same language saying you re not qualified to do it you re political rather than scientific or sometimes they say we are artists. none of this is really correct the collective is not interested in the definitions used they present their cases in court but also in museums which they see as a kind of alternative courtroom but what counts is being seen being heard. shift says digital detective work. and now networkers digital makers and shakers today avatar designer veteran of. the computer graphics designer is from buenos aires but she s been teaching at a university in porto for almost eleven years two years ago she persuaded an investor to turn her research into a startup and did emo was born what s special about her software is that it can create a three d. avatar using a smartphone skin almost instantly. rather or your d.d. well you know the to connect to other people in the digital world so bring people outside digital isolation. so the whole goal is to actually create a new generation of connection for a new generation of people. veronica and her staff of ten are bringing the real me into the digital world the avatar can be used in viewer games. along with her current projects forty one year old veronica has a personal challenge she wants children to be able to use her software to. just wish one day maybe not in a year but maybe being five six or seven but would be able to provide these technology to every child in the world so they can learn from any other children so we can do peer to peer learning to demolish just at the beginning but the virtual world is growing and veronica wants to make it a little more human. and now big brother in china where the government is introducing a social scoring system to rate the social behavior of its enormous population it s collecting endless amounts of data via smartphone apps facial recognition and surveillance cameras. using a facial scan to receive a ration of toilet paper absurd. in beijing this is already being tested to cut down on the use of toilet paper in public toilets it s just one example of how china is experimenting with the most cutting edge surveillance technology privacy not likely surveillance cameras may soon be installed everywhere the state wants access to everything there will be profiles of people s movements and whereabouts and automatic face recognition scanning the state is testing a program to monitor people s behavior the social credit system. sukhumvit industry in the future using the system is reminiscent of dystopias like orwell s one thousand nine hundred four where the film got to humans and monitored around the clock wise. at present the system is only in a test phase and was being piloted in around forty locations in china you know the government s plan is to have it fully operational by two. the twenty. one of the pilot cities for the social surveillance experiment is wrong ching on china s east coast cameras have been installed everywhere the chinese government believes it will improve social order encourage moral behavior and discourage corruption. this is how the social credit system is supposed to work. every citizen is scored based on their number of points which rise or fall depending on their behavior if someone games too much on their computer they lose points for neglecting their family and damaging their health health data social behavior financial standing media activity all of this data is compiled from various databases scores have a direct impact on people s lives if they have too few points their travel options are restricted thanks refused to give them loans and their children will get training positions companies are also rated according to the point system. that. the ideal is that the vast majority of people will behave well have a good rating and sail through the system without problems and then there are a small number of citizens who will score badly and will be hugely disadvantaged but since this will only be a small minority you ll be socially excluded the idea is that there won t be much protest. what makes state surveillance even easier is that you can hardly do anything in china anymore without a smartphone apps for shopping banking and chatting even dating apps are linked to the state authorities. this data is all fed into the social credit system. but who would dare to publicly condemn such a system any criticism would automatically reduce your score. chip says pretty totalitarian. and now short and sweet the shift snapshot. art is in the eye of the beholder the french photographer neglect we have has been following people s observations of art very closely. but he likes to start observing before the doors open. he watches the workers setting up exhibitions in museums. is instagram account looks behind the scenes and highlights magnificent moments of fusion. the

founder sally. join germantown. as they explore our digital future. tally starts november twenty fourth b.t.w. . and until yesterday it is one of the world s leading contemporary historians and today we want to discuss a potential new fear of germany with him mr carter during a recent speech in brussels a polish politicians said he fears a germany that doesn t lead more than one that does is there a new fear of germany. would give to these annoying angst and. escaped i know nor there is a new fear of germany which is also an old fear of germany where the new demands are being made of the country and these demands are pushing germany into dilemma. the quote by poland s foreign minister you just mentioned you would never have heard anybody particularly not somebody from poland say that before nine hundred ninety. there s this new demand for germany to lead within europe but that puts germany in a dilemma because if it assumes a position of power old fears about germany wanting supremacies and europe will rise again this is the new fear which is actually a fear dating back to the nineteenth century or before. and which germany s european neighbors have felt for at least two hundred years or. so i mean distance five hundred beneath the healing of quaked we can how can germany resolve this tense relationship with germany mistake other european countries position into account and also take their perception of germany and to account germany must also not let the power politics necessary for europe to be a powerful global player. and try to wind up here automatically this is a necessary balancing act and one of the greatest challenges for political leaders but goals that mean the end tried to hold forth all through political furor. minister had another minister speaking in brussels actually addressed precisely that challenge and said germany will have to lead from the center how could that work early because that by the to be honest i m not quite sure what this leadership from the center may want support germany has to learn to be respectful of its neighbors wanted to say germany must carry out its leadership duties but also that it would be problematic if it did so to assertively almost all top level officials in brussels pulling the strings a german that greatly upset some member states that i am. is that what germany wants to be a sort of behind the scenes puppet master that includes the defendant if you would have thought they flee the i would absolutely say at the most important level of which germany is showing political leadership lies beyond national interests in fact it even extends beyond the european union. or because the big question is how will europe treat the u.k. after banks it would this isn t an e.u. issue we need to see germany as a nation probably together with france negotiating with the u.k. you fucked of that for i make the crudely because the u.k. is not going to disappear from europe. rather europe can only be a strong global player if it has a constructive relationship with the u.k. construct he was for two goals papunya who won that fight back when germany was politically more peripheral it tried to convince the benelux countries of its interests so that they would push them on the agenda of that strategy worked back then is that the right concept for the future or is germany allowed to be self-confident in expressing its wishes and setting its agenda as the time that i get into setting and the often ignored or germany is not only allowed to be confident it has to be confident. but you can be confident without being inconsiderate towards this notion that germany must always be subtle and can t just be forthright in its demands no one in europe still thinks that the use of force or the globe to sounds. about as good but it leads to trouble take the two recent examples when germany su in political leadership with the new europe the eurozone crisis and the refugee crisis in the summer of two thousand and fifteen both times a political course was taken that was set by germany and both times that caused big big trouble and massive anti german sentiment quickly flared up so how can this work. india well germany made a grave mistake during the refugee crisis and that was to vote by majority in the european council to force countries to accept a quota of refugees against their will i don t think. that was seen as dictatorial . for the european debt crisis situation is more complicated. there are two very different versions of what happened exist within europe which are both logical to contradict each other. but on the one side there s the story told by mostly but not exclusively southern countries which says that germany reacted far too late. that it didn t want to risk it strayed someplace and the germans are geopolitical nationalists. on the other side we have the german version of exactly the same political decision it s a gorgeous. door german say that they were not liable for other countries debts but that they helped greece anyway because they re such a good european you have our it is right it has them but to add to what he said we also very quickly began seeing pictures of angela merkel with a hit the must ask coming from greece how big must the fear of germany be and what does it feed on for such poignant images to be produced that. the whole of germany s neighboring countries or almost all have had some form of military conflict with germany far with dogs for greece that conflict was the world war two occupation by germany. that was when those stereotypes started of violent germans with their pickle how about helmets all thora tarion and militaristic that we face and the odd thing about stereotypes is that they can resurgent any time like a volcano you thought was dormant which erupts again if you go and work hard for the money but that s how stereotypes generally work and it s exactly what we ve seen. happened these last years no one in the house that s obvious. it seems as if other european countries are no longer used to a germany that shows the same self-assurance as say france or britain or is this a test for europe of death i know. it s low beneath the stomachs of two hundred but i don t think that this has anything to do with cold war experiences manifesting themselves in the present day and outside of it as or that noise so where does the fear come from well in france and france is the key partner in this context that fear dates at least as far back as the eight hundred seventy seventy one war when france became painfully aware of the fact that it s not eastern neighbor germany or was structurally stronger. because he s talked to and then france had to experience that bitter truth again in both world wars. because although france was on the winning side the french knew that if they had to face germany alone they would have lost that you can dodge land just regular give you what was it their child a goal said in one thousand nine hundred forty six towards germany stays germany or more recently in the eighties francois mitterrand spoke about the german nuclear bomb but he was referring to the don t mark on the german central bank which shows that other countries are no longer worried about germany s military strength but about its economic power as does that mean germany is scary because that functions too well for europe death even more than. east germany is and will stay europe s strongest economy in a time when economic strength is more important than military strength. so germany is the strongest party and it can t shake that role which is why it has to find a way to use its strength constructively and strategically within europe. or next lord and i lost my recent study asked europeans whether they find their country s culture superior to the neighboring countries cultures forty five percent of germans said they find their culture to be better than other europeans yet are we seeing a rising feeling of german superiority. yeah that s yes we are and that s a german trait that dates back to the romantic era. in the early nineteenth century when europeans began to see themselves as nationals the french state already existed so the french could perceive themselves as a nation state however there was no unified germany at that time meaning germans initially had little choice but to find unity through culture who told us they saw themselves as a cultural nation if you will and this self image has always brought with it a tendency among germans to view themselves as culturally and morally superior for that tendency can be traced throughout the nineteenth century right up to the end of the first half of the twentieth century winthrop s in the hope that and although the content of the old self image has changed the mechanism of perceiving oneself as culturally and morally superior remains. the good example is germany s welcome culture in autumn two thousand and fifteen that sense of being morally correct was so strong you can almost touch it but it s harder of the best on site as i meet him and for that i m a counsellor and we recently had the chancellor announce that she s begun what could be called a step by step political withdraw what political legacy will under american leafy europe. i m glad merkel have hopefully on a european
