takes in the attractions of saxon switzerland. then nicole for alicia explores the town of it and back in saxony own home. where martin luther once lived. and then she continues on to brandenburg down germany's most popular bike path the elba cycle route. so let's start our journey in saxony near the czech border. i'm travelling through sexy switzerland it's located on both sides of the el but it may. places you can only cross the river by ferry just like here in the cotton. it gets busy in high season. today i'm going hiking climbing and taking a boat trip. to the sandstone cliffs are the main attraction. i start my journey in this spot on off thoughts and hikers have been coming here since the early nineteenth century. i follow a part of a well known path called model of the or painters way artists from the romantic era love this landscape and took inspiration from it they made sex in switzerland famous this is it's a reservoir right next to painter's way. it's one hundred twelve kilometers long guiding you through the cliffs. a

switzerland. the big thing was missing italy and croatia. it doesn't mean we underestimate switzerland, but i believe it is a tie we are capable of winning. they had a good qualification campaign, with nine victories and the only defeat against portugal. that was possibly the weakest of the groups in terms of the teams in it. it gives us a chance, which is the most important thing. the players will believe they have a chance, which is important as well. the republic of ireland were paired with the lowest ranked of the top seeds — denmark. that it was going to be a difficult game for us, but italy were still waiting there for someone to come up, and if you ask the near —— any of the unseeded coaches, they would say they would have preferred not to have italy, so that is something to stop denmark will be difficult for us, anyway. the play-offs are a familiar path for the republic, who had previously contested eight. for northern ireland, it is their first experience. but these players to qualify for back—to—back travellers, for some,

in a few months switzerland's more than five million voters will decide and arm income power stands a good chance of winning despite opposition from the government the parliament and the association of swiss cattle breeders. and scientists of us can't be that something like whether cows have horns or not becomes part of the constitution i was looking scouse here how they're all standing around us so calm and peaceful atmosphere i don't think these animals are lacking for anything else and cows with horns significantly raise the risk of accidents i know i have been here almost all of your thought. i mean composes the notion that cow horns increase the risk of injury is nonsense he says that in his stall the cows used their horns to communicate. on through she offered the tip of her horn to another cow so it could clean dirt out of its high. but the dog was black crowes a clip of you had she stuck out her horn and the other one went like this. compound knows he can't bend the horning entirely he jokes that if he tried to do that someone might set fire to his cow stall instead he seeking

switzerland. i think for us missing italy and croatia, but it does not mean we underestimate switzerland. but i do think we're capable of winning that tie. switzerland had a very good qualification campaign. but i feel when you look at all the groups, that could be the weakest groups, that could be the weakest group in terms of the nature of the teams in that. but it gives us a chance and that is the most important thing. i think the players will believe they have a chance which is important. republic of ireland were paired with the lowest ranked of the top seeds, denmark. as one of the unseeded teams, whatever we get will be a difficult game for us. we get will be a difficult game for us. i suppose in a sense italy, we're still waiting for someone to come up and i suppose for any of the unseeded coaches there would have said probably would have preferred not to have italy. so i suppose that something. denmark is good to be difficult. the players are familiar path for the republic who have previou

the search for details on the early life of kim jong un takes us to bern switzerland. kim's father north korean leader kim jong il is reported to have sent him here to attend school under an assumed name. there's a large north korean community unburned swiss journalists tito's plattner explains why they choose to live there. just like no u.s. research being told us she's the reason for that lies in the recent history of switzerland it's a neutral country and many international organizations are based here out. switzerland has always been open to the north koreans they know that this is a peaceful country with a business and that their privacy will be respected their prevail you're going to join that's why a lot of prominent north koreans send their kids to study here he was going to deal she's sick and that includes kim jong un here can join each of us is a false raise. in one thousand nine hundred ninety two swiss authorities received an application filed by the north korean embassy for a residence permit on behalf of a certain mr pak. the visa application listed the

they beat switzerland 2—0 in their final vilifying game. cristiano ronaldo and his men beat switzerland 2—nil in their final qualifying game at estadio da luz. an own goal from johan djourou handed the european champions the lead. andre silva netted the second in the second half to spark celebrations in lisbon. portugal's coach fernando santos said... "we've never pretended to be the best in the world, but we're capable of going head to head against any opponents." so here's how the final table looks in group b with the portuguese finishing level with the swiss on 27 points but crucially having the superior goal difference to earn the automatic qualifying spot. switzerland go through to the playoff with the best 8 runners—up. the netherlands captain arjen robben retired from international football after the oranje failed to make next year's world cup. the 33—year—old bayern munich winger, has played 96 times for his country. he scored both goals in their two nil win over sweden, but it wasn't enough to keep them on course for russia

together nobody in switzerland wants to wants to sort of secede from the country because the country allows a lot of flexibility people are generally happy with how swiss run this so if the e.u. is wondering how can we become more stable they have to look at switzerland and if spain is wondering how can we become more stable they have to again also look at what the swiss have done michael last question the show is do you do you have any hope that these leaders would give up some of that all important power throughout europe mean leaders don't tend to happily give up what they control. well europe is all about pooling sovereignty it's not about so coordinating the nation state it's about tackling problems and common of the same time we've got in a process of decentralization within so states are being transformed and that's work very well but if the european leaders simply back to the most intransigent elements of the spanish government that doesn't do europe a lot of credit it gives the impression that you know it is taking a very rigid position as it has almost guaranteed in other k

the refugee and switzerland has since deleted his profile on the internet. then period off and. a few years ago many young i asked you how this would post photos online where they would probably talk about the violent acts they'd committed. i was very helpful for the german authorities when they were later carrying out their investigations. but the young jihad is now are much more reticent about giving out information it's indeed your decision which is it. was god like nine four months on nobody had this kind of evidence which the authorities need. we can't as i told you we can't bring their fingerprints from there to here you know but what we have. we have the names thinks they did the dates of ove. of course they did where they were at that time when they were in syria in which radical little guy is asian they were looking for so we have this kind of information. the debate over the value of the information provided by refugees is only just beginning. but one thing is clear that germany urgently needs some of that information in the fight against terror in europe and will have

switzerland had a great qualifying campaign. asl switzerland had a great qualifying campaign. as i say, i think it gives us an opportunity to go to russia. we have to make sure we're particularly in the first game being in belfast and then obviously to come to switzerland for the second leg, but we look ford to the game. we know we'll have to be at our best to qualify, but we believe we're capable of doing that. they are still thrashing out the dates. there is the draw. the republic of ireland have denmark away in copenhagen first. it's croatia v greece and a huge game with sweden v italy. the games will take place on a home and away basis, with the first legs between 9th and 11th november and the second legs between 12 and 1a november. the champions league is back, manchester city are at home to napoli, liverpool have to beat maribor away in slovenia but what a night coming up in madrid, tottenham hotspur up against the 12—times winners and reigning champions, real. spurs lost to them home and away in the quarterfinals six years ago. there's not one surviving member of that

in a few months switzerland's more than five million voters will decide and arme income power stands a good chance of winning despite opposition from the government the parliament and the association of swiss cattle breeders. and scientists of us can't be that something like whether cows have horns or not becomes part of the constitution . looking scouse here how they're all standing around us so calm and peaceful atmosphere i don't think these animals are lacking for anything else and cows with horns significantly raise the risk of accidents i know i have been here almost all your thought. i mean cup house says the notion that cow horns increase the risk of injury is nonsense he says that in his stall the cows used their horns to communicate. own through she offered the tip of her horn to another cow so it could clean dirt out of its high. but the dog was black crowes a clip of you had she stuck out her horn and the other one went like this. compound knows he can't bend the horning entirely he jokes that if he tried to do that someone might set fire to his cow stall instead he's see

they knew a win over switzerland would take them through as group winners. an own goal and this from andre silva gave them a 2—0 win in lisbon and resigned the swiss to a play off spot. the netherlands were in need of a miracle seven goal win over sweden if they were to finish second in group a. but it wasn't to be despite a 2—0 win at home. aden arjen robben put them ahead from the penalty spot. the dutch miss out on the world cup while sweden will be amongst the teams in the play offs. france ended up as winners in group a, above sweden — they wrapped up qualifying with a 2—1 win at home to belarus helped by goals from antoine griezmann and olivier giroud. so european qualifying is over the teams in the left hand column are already through alongside england. it will be seeded with switzerland, portugal, denmark and croatia likely to be the seeds. the syrian national team have fallen short in their bid to reach the world cup. australia pipped them in their world cup play off. there were high hopes for syrian fans after the first leg ended level at 1

we're going to switzerland. you know how long it will take us two months three months maybe we'll live to see it maybe not. thousands of families have been ripped apart in this way. we only just managed to get here. and now we're running out of money you know. that's why you have to stay here. when we get to switzerland well tell the author it is you're here. from one of. my own mother. and it already that we get there it's a dangerous journey with two small children where. the family has paid six thousand dollars to a people trafficker to enter switzerland illegally. we watch cyan being abandoned and staying behind all alone. the next morning scientists disappeared he's left the camp tent is closed the long wars are meant to stop people from going in search of a better life but they also lead to families splitting up or losing contact. the children lower themselves down this cliff to get to the point. only a few weeks ago a boy died during the descent a matter is practicing the rutile have to take tonight in th

hang on the job of making those critical hauling and supporting cables was given to specialists in switzerland supporting cables a subjected to enormous strain from the weight of the cars and also have to withstand temperature fluctuations and extreme winds. sustained collapse even although each of the cables can take a lot almost seven hundred times and there are four of them. it's fun. there's still ropes are all made from specially manufactured wire. and there's a lot of work to be done before it's real down to the cable making machine. it's a complicated process securing the ends and then winding the while on two industrial scale spools. in total over five million meters of this wire are required to create the five kilometer long cable. and once wound together the main supporting cable is now run through a huge spinning machine this cable will bear the principle low during the system's operation and therefore has to be extremely secure. the cable manufacturers weave and number of steel wires around that core the resulting sheath will serve to protect the core from inclement weather and als

they beat switzerland. disappointment for switzerland who won their last nine games, but this does mean they are through, portugal and maybe the fan support had something to do with it. look who was there in the stands last night, none other than madonna. her son david is training to be a professional footballer. so hopefully she enjoyed that 2—0 result for portugal last night. there has been a huge shock, the united states, they were eliminated last night and that was to do with panama's win, their 2—1 win. that was a controversial game actually victoria. mostly because of a goal that may or may not have gone over the line, but it does mean that the usa will not be in russia next year which is the first time for them since 1986. but you can see what it means for panama. this isjust since 1986. but you can see what it means for panama. this is just the streets last night. the people reasoning on to the streets there, hugely excited that they are going to make it to their first world cup. what a result f
