rankings of this year's top stories on your box. a drop of blue anyone it might not look like it or be permitted to be called wine but this is a spanish wine it's made from grapes pressed in the normal way it was created by five friends in bilbo who wanted to revolutionize the wine world with their product decon live. the bright blue color is their trademark and marketing gimmick. we make different kinds of grapes and then we extract the pigment from the skin of the right grape that's called on to sighing. and that's when the blue come from so it's actually one hundred percent grape. blue wine isn't a category under each new law that's way can't officially be called wine. some wine experts like enrique martinez are also a little skeptical. but not enough to turn down

feel the effort that's gone into the want of me in the work and hopes of the wine maker not picking up a glass of wine is a small piece of the country and the vineyard with you know why it's a different story in. spanish wine bars have a more pragmatic approach as long as it tastes nice any alcoholic drink is welcome . the blue wine certainly arose as a curiosity from young and old alike. but not bad but it lacks expression but if you know. that's taste is very smooth you can't really tell if there is alcohol in it. it was a little weird. the creators of geek alive are vindicated by their success they've sold more than four hundred thousand bottles in twenty five countries including britain japan and australia next they want to conquer the us market. costs around eight euros. it's not

for wine connoisseurs like people who know in this kind of rule of how to drink it it's only for people who want the best wine and the best concept. you know without all the trouble of having to there are low this kind of rules that. the basic rule for wine is actually drink what you like so if you like blue wine then cheers. it's always good to follow your passion and do what you love and if adrenaline rushes you all thing then we can suggest a trip to germany's hotz mountains a suspension bridge a tas and like swing and have opened this year one hundred twenty metres above the ground they wrong over the valley near the dam so have fantastic views for all who attempt it all reports i went there in spring when the cable suspension bridge was

the world's longest and even though it's not anymore it is still short to get your heart racing. this is one of the world's longest cables suspension bridges located at europe's largest dam well it offers great views and white the adrenaline rush. well i've. been up front that you need not one hundred twenty meters difference in altitude up to ninety kilometers an hour and one kilometer in length is the most challenging leisure experience in the hearts mountains and we want to give it a trying works with unity. over the political. views of the ones being sued because a lot of the old the intrepid adventurers hang on a wire that's twelve millimeters thick once they start their descent there's only one way to go down. a

know this is yes my my brother and i thought if we're going to build something this big dog then we want. set a world record for once in our lives. and he did it the planning and completion took three and a half you know did you encounter any problems really hard enough to make the him i know to i'm certainly structural i know that it's where a problem here with environmental issues and all the red tape. it isn't every day that someone wants to build a suspension bridge especially around here it was pioneering work from you know a bit less mature and i have talked to you i think this makes the whole it's mountain small extractive to young people is it minus socks fun you lighting up the return on wood i. need to get that it is as an insider i don't see it as much as we're told that's the case. that's what this project suits the harks mountains well few mainly the area attracts more and more young families and adventurers and

i personally know a lot of people like that around here so yes this one is that i'd say we're doing our part to. put the delta like the best one through and then the other one. there's a platform for people who are searching for the ultimate thrill. you know other day off a little nervous and rightly so. not mine and so. seventy meters freefall. until they swing like tarzan above the water. i would. have thought he was great as i did again but not today. he needed to go screaming like a man but this morning to the typical reaction. as

a distinct. screaming prove that they're tough women. talk of most people including men are stupid. i don't make a sound during the fall i'm still when they started swaying back and forth then the relief can be heard. and whether it holds the record as the longest cable suspension bridge world wide or not it remains a great tourist attraction in the hearts mount. what if you like those views then do you check out all instagram pages we prize images from all over europe on there that we'd love to share with you. europe at its best your imax brings you the highlights on instagram stunning landscapes spectacular buildings and mouthwatering delicacy our reporters are constantly on the look out with their cameras we look forward to your comments check out our duramax instagram stories and discover how exciting and diverse europe can be.

brewed in berlin with the capital of the german. but don't already have enough of different kinds of beer they drink every year a billion of so many different types to choose from so why do we need trucks especially since it's more expensive. some brews would cost up to six euros a glass in a store. my kid meets up with stefan collini one of the founders of berlin be a week stefan says we need even more craft beer. why is that you try. still i think a lot of beer here in germany is totally boring. and that's i'm sure the quality is good and there are lots of good and breweries that produce traditional kinds of pier they do a perfect job of it. but they haven't tried anything new for centuries.

the cruise boat is an excellent place to try out a large number of craft beers but don't worry you only get to try a soup of each kind they don't want anyone going overboard so to speak craft beer fans from all over the world are attending the event including. the now. she's expecting a baby so this time she's sticking to alcohol free beer actually i am in many missions right now we have around twenty commercial craft beer brewers they don't all own a brewery so they rent a facility from someone else to prove their product. the number is increasing so there's a real craft group scene here in berlin. so what percentage of the be a drunken there are many as actually craft beer actually. it's almost impossible to say we don't really know what craft beer is here in germany in the us they have a clear definition that doesn't apply here in germany doing clothes mid-size breweries that do everything themselves or only those that brew india pale ale but

at a guess i'd say around one percent. but a growing number of breweries are introducing craft beer to german beer drinkers new small start ups begin brewing every year. one of them is barlow in berlin's crites bear district it gets its name from the slavic board for swamp it already has an excellent reputation amongst kind of sewers the container building was designed by the famous the oft architects office this is no run of the mill brewery here the name of the game isn't tradition but creativity and handicraft skill of the beer is only brewed in small quantities around fifty percent as for export some ingredients have an unusual aroma with prices in the brewery restaurant are not to be sneezed at. as so what's your latest experiment and why is the beer so expensive. machine and right now we're experimenting with

different fruits and spices like chilli we use costly aroma hops that are later added to the beer in large quantities. and we have a large variety if you always brew the same beer and use the same used and just press a button well then that is a good deal cheaper than the few goods they got the official festival beer this year is made with earl grey tea. we're back on the riverboat some craft beer brewers that here to the german purity law although they don't have to but as adding things like tea herald the end of five hundred years of strict. content regulation. and being tended to get some is on the contrary it fits well together you can brew interesting beers and still stick to the rules but most kinds of beer only need the four basic ingredients and that a body knows it's a sign that's good food and the purity law ensures the beer is of premium quality

and that's what craft beer is all about to quality be all it was good and quality full fare tickets via everyone here agrees that craft beer is a high quality product time now for a small test with a craft beer crowd managed to spot a normal berlin beer. below here. thank you to speed this up and. told her. that allan said that. they call managed to spot the odd man out much in the moment the people in so many are talking more about trough they have been drinking it but the people here on the ship believe that very soon in every good restaurant there will be not only a wine list but also at the end menu and any case it's a good to dish into the good old joe and the culture.

well we're staying in germany now for number seventeen in our ranking of this year's top twenty five reports it's time to hone in on the woman who runs this country i go to machall this it to have party won the most votes in the general election so we took the opportunity to dive a little deeper into her life i know america grew up in the former communist east of germany and took a lot of slack i have presentation at the start of her career slowly though she gained respect and first became a lead at twelve years ago now angle america is seen as an icon around the world of fashion wanna. an election winner for the fourth time in a row and a political fashion icon. fashion icon seriously.

who would have believed dead back there at the start of the one nine hundred ninety s. mego was nicknamed helmut kohl is girl when she first entered the political arena she was the drab mouse from great communist east germany not someone to be taken seriously so how. she had to take a lot of really smart on monks. but they can also have time she absolved all of this and made to sell it over by the time she was chancellor saying for a look that today has become the brand. milk of style trousers and a colored blazer topped off with a good haircut was set in two thousand and five the first she sported a bowl cut when she became party leader then chancellor a hairdryer became part of her styling programme. she won the power battle with her hair and with her critics too. but no matter how her hairstyle

developed over the years her clothes remain the same the blazer is part of the chancellor's uniform it's got one cut but comes in many shades colors psychologists are challenged by the choice of hue because they try to use it to determine her political intent. but america doesn't show her hand the days color is simply an expression of how she feels. not so much as a remark that she has three hundred sixty five. people copying her and she's become a model for women at brule it they say hillary clinton did this during her last campaign. when she appeared in colored outfits rather than black can't sing some wasn't and she was sending a political message as well to follow. the description of the nation's mother used to be used condescendingly but it's long

been praised now for how she keeps even the bad boys in line and for how she pursues her policy with her demure yet sincere men are reducing debt and organizing the budget plus how concerned she is and cares hollywood political campaigners like richard gere and george clooney seek her support and she seemed genuinely pleased when germany won the soccer world cup in twenty fourteen that put an end to criticism of her mother an approach. to them that call never rises to jobs like that she recognized early on that it's worse to resist and your attention to it rather than letting it just die down by itself. the hair style the jacket and a diamond is part of american style too. she almost always has her hands in this position. many interpret the gem shape as

a sign of tranquil energy. and it's so strongly linked to america that her party used it in two thousand and thirteen and in this campaign as well miracles diamond is a symbol of her chancellorship. well this is the primary only it's the tranquillity that she exudes because the sense of security goes with it and you get the feeling that she has to tell well in hand whatever it is. even though the america that is judged by her political achievements the chancellor also knows how to use the power of images. now we end the show today on a high note and i mean that literally as we feature british musician nathan lee he's known for playing the flute but not in the classical way that you might expect

nathan developed his own technique incorporating beat boxing with the instrument it's cold flute boxing let's take a listen. when nathan lee plains it first sounds like classical flutes but not for long. as. he calls his mix of melodic tones and beatbox rhythms slew clocks and it's something very few musicians have mastered i've seen one of them will. not allow he used to meet books in a crazy man but those are guardsman appreciated him. beatbox using your mouth to imitate sounds and instruments is as much a part of london's underground culture as street art but nathan really developed his on the usual flute technique entirely on his own. you want to might be a rule rick would be you know.
