[00:00:00] Black or transgender people, that's why it's important for us to
[00:00:03] gather.
[00:00:08] It is estimated that black people in France make up between 6 and 9%
[00:00:12] of the total population, although there is no official data. In Paris
[00:00:15] African and Afro-Caribbean culture shapes entire neighborhoods and
[00:00:19] Chateau Ruuž and Chateau Do are widely recognized as
[00:00:23] traditional centers of the Black community. So, this is where you should
[00:00:26] be. We are in Chato Dou, you see there are strategists.
[00:00:32] so this is the center, here you get everything you need, you can
[00:00:36] find African beauty and hair products, buy wigs,
[00:00:40] actually everything that Africans
[00:00:41] need.
[00:00:48] Many faces, one identity. France sees itself as
[00:00:51] a republic that makes distinctions based on skin color, in which
[00:00:55] origin and skin color should not matter, but is that really
[00:00:59] true?
[00:01:03] I completely agree with that, if you understand biology and
[00:01:06] skin color differences at least a little bit, you will understand that
[00:01:09] first and foremost, we are all human beings. What matters are our
[00:01:12] values, how much we are willing to share and who we are as
[00:01:16] individuals, I believe, we have something to offer each
[00:01:19] other. Racism still exists, we experience it daily
[00:01:22] through
[00:01:24] microaggressions.
[00:01:30] everyone lives as one family, white, black, everyone does
[00:01:33] things together, so in my opinion everything is
[00:01:36] fine.
[00:01:40] The diversity of the city is closely connected to France's colonial
[00:01:43] past, many people originating from former colonies have been living here
[00:01:47] for generations. For Hanabi, it's time to get ready for
[00:01:51] tonight's Lavandixbal, she's going with her house,
[00:01:54] unboter cartiers. On the ballroom
[00:01:57] scene, a house is much more than just a dance team. "I see
[00:02:01] my house as a kind of gang, we are here, we are
[00:02:04] a team, we will go out on the wave and present ourselves, houses bear
[00:02:08] the names of high fashion brands such as Mugler and Gucci, fashion is
[00:02:12] a great inspiration to us, so we imitate poses from magazines.
[00:02:29] For many, the ballroom scene represents a chosen family because
[00:02:32] it provides support to those who have been rejected by their biological
[00:02:35] family. For three years I was away from my
[00:02:38] family, but now everything is fine because I managed to
[00:02:41] educate them. I am happy that I managed to preserve that
[00:02:45] relationship because I started losing them, I was ready no matter what,
[00:02:48] to choose myself, in the end I got
[00:02:51] everything.
[00:03:01] The ballroom scene may be a competition, but it is primarily
[00:03:05] a community.
[00:03:12] Planning a visit to the German capital? Euro Max
[00:03:16] reporter Sahana Humel has been living in Berlin for more than 10 years and has
[00:03:19] some tips for you.
[00:03:22] Berlin is a city where you need to know not only what is worth
[00:03:26] seeing, but also what is better to skip. First and foremost.
[00:03:30] It's Alexander Place, there are always tourists in this square,
[00:03:34] but honestly, it's not one of my favorite
[00:03:36] places. It's just a square, full of fast
[00:03:40] fashion stores, fast food restaurants, noisy,
[00:03:43] dirty,
[00:03:47] and very tiring to be in.
[00:03:50] The only thing it's good for, at least in my opinion, is the view of the
[00:03:53] TV tower, the tallest building in Germany, 368
[00:03:57] meters high, built by
[00:04:00] the East German government in the 60s, and opened in
[00:04:04] 1969. The idea was to show the world, and
[00:04:08] especially West Berlin, that the GDR was a modern
[00:04:11] and capable state. Do I think it should be completely
[00:04:14] avoided? No, it's a part of history that you should at least
[00:04:17] stop by.
[00:04:20] trying to catch a roadrunner. The ticket costs around 25 euros, the queues can be
[00:04:24] long, especially in summer, the view, although good,
[00:04:27] is not dramatically better than what you will get for
[00:04:31] free elsewhere. I advise you to head west and
[00:04:34] walk along Unter den Linden. This street is full of
[00:04:38] German history. The walk takes about 25 minutes
[00:04:42] and costs nothing. First you will pass by
[00:04:45] Museum Island. A UNESCO World
[00:04:49] Heritage site. There are five world-renowned museums
[00:04:52] including the New Museum which houses famous
[00:04:55] artifacts such as the Bust of Nefertiti and treasures from Ancient
[00:04:59] Egypt. If you want to spend money on this walk,
[00:05:03] spend it on a day ticket for Museum Island. Keep walking
[00:05:07] and you will reach Brandenburg
[00:05:09] Gate. The Brandenburg Gate has witnessed some
[00:05:13] of the most important moments in history. Napoleon
[00:05:16] passed through it. The Nazi regime held parades
[00:05:19] beneath it, and then in
[00:05:22] 1989 a crowd of people gathered
[00:05:25] here when the Berlin Wall fell. The visit is free, and
[00:05:29] the gate is also an excellent place for taking photos. It's often
[00:05:33] very crowded here as it's a popular stop for tour guides, so
[00:05:36] I wouldn't recommend staying too long, but the gate
[00:05:40] is definitely a must- see. Now
[00:05:43] let's turn left, because just a few minutes from here is
[00:05:46] one of the most poignant monuments I have ever seen.
[00:05:50] The monument is dedicated to the murdered Jews of Europe, about
[00:05:54] 6 million of them. It was designed by architect Peter Eisenman
[00:05:58] and consists of a field of 2,711
[00:06:02] concrete blocks of different heights. There are no
[00:06:05] names, no faces here. The abstract design has its
[00:06:08] purpose.
[00:06:12] What I want to say about this place is to make sure
[00:06:16] you don't take inappropriate photos or selfies here,
[00:06:20] be respectful, this is not just a work of art, but also
[00:06:23] a monument. The last stop on this walk is the German
[00:06:27] Parliament building (Reichstag). The glass dome on
[00:06:30] top was designed by Sir Norman Foster, and it was added after
[00:06:33] the unification of East and West Germany. You can
[00:06:37] go up to it completely free of charge, just register
[00:06:41] online beforehand. It's likely that through the transparent dome
[00:06:44] above the Bundestag, the German federal parliament, citizens
[00:06:48] can literally look down on their representatives.
[00:06:51] The symbolism of transparent democracy is completely
[00:06:54] clear here.
[00:06:58] Next on my list of places that you might not need to
[00:07:01] visit is Checkpoint Charlie. It's in every
[00:07:05] Berlin tourist guide. To be honest, I understand its
[00:07:08] historical significance. It was the most famous crossing between East
[00:07:12] and West Berlin during the Cold War. Many daring escape
[00:07:16] attempts by people who wanted to cross to the West took place
[00:07:19] here. It was right here in 1961
[00:07:23] that a tense confrontation between American and Soviet
[00:07:26] tanks occurred. Today there are McDonald's, a fake guard
[00:07:29] house and a souvenir shop. That's not exactly the image
[00:07:33] of the Cold War you would expect. Instead,
[00:07:36] visit the East Side Gallery, a 1.3
[00:07:39] km long section of the original Berlin Wall.
[00:07:42] It is the longest remaining section of the wall that has been converted into an open-air
[00:07:46] art gallery. After the fall of the wall in
[00:07:48] 1989, more than a hundred
[00:07:52] artists from all over the world came to
[00:07:55] paint it. I have another local tip for
[00:07:58] you. Spend some time by the water. Berlin is surrounded
[00:08:02] by lakes, so if you have time hop on a train and
[00:08:05] visit one of them, say Wannsee. And if
[00:08:09] you'd rather stay in the city, come to Café
[00:08:12] am Neuen See in the middle of Tiergarten Park, there's a huge open-air
[00:08:16] beer garden in the heart of Berlin's largest central
[00:08:19] park. This is what Berlin looks like when you scratch beneath
[00:08:22] the surface of the tourist sights. Take a little walk
[00:08:26] around the city, and when you're done, stop for a drink by the
[00:13:52] your top priority, but sooner or later
[00:13:55] it becomes a topic of conversation, so we asked young people across Europe how
[00:13:58] they bring up the topic when they start
[00:14:00] dating.
[00:14:04] Money, money, money. Sometimes it can be
[00:14:07] uncomfortable. Generally speaking, it's a taboo. Money can
[00:14:11] become a problem already on the first date. Who pays or
[00:14:14] do you split the bill? Is it awkward to talk about money? If
[00:14:18] European couples manage all that. We sought answers
[00:14:21] from the couples themselves and one expert.
[00:14:25] from the basic, do you know how much your partner
[00:14:27] earns?
[00:14:30] Yes, I have a pretty clear
[00:14:31] idea,
[00:14:34] yes, I would openly talk about my salary,
[00:14:38] I think I know, not on the first
[00:14:41] date, but later it's good to
[00:14:43] know.
[00:14:47] It seems simple, most know how much their partner earns, maybe
[00:14:51] it's not a taboo, I don't think it is.
[00:14:56] The less you talk about it, the bigger the problem will be, it becomes more and more
[00:14:59] awkward. It can be an important topic,
[00:15:03] a little
[00:15:03] awkward.
[00:15:07] Yes, in a previous relationship I had problems because of
[00:15:09] money. So, it's not that simple after all.
[00:15:13] We showed these answers to psychologist Gulchihan
[00:15:16] Korkmas. As a marriage therapist, she is well acquainted with conflicts over
[00:15:20] money.
[00:15:23] Interesting, but I think that. It's not a taboo subject when
[00:15:26] financial problems don't exist, communication is
[00:15:29] key, you need to talk, because when conflicts
[00:15:33] related to gender or nationality arise,
[00:15:36] it all comes down to...
[00:15:43] It's no coincidence that money is an important topic, especially
[00:15:46] between genders, because women on average earn less than
[00:15:49] men. In the European Union, the gender pay
[00:15:53] gap is around 12%, and one British
[00:15:57] study showed that men who earn more than their wives
[00:16:01] are happier. Interesting, but what if the woman earns more, is
[00:16:05] that okay? even
[00:16:08] better,
[00:16:10] yes, of course, if two people have different incomes, it's hard to
[00:16:14] reconcile, in a previous relationship my partner
[00:16:17] earned much more than me,
[00:16:20] sometimes your ego gets the better of you, you want to pay, but mostly everything is
[00:16:24] fine.
[00:16:28] And what does the expert say?
[00:16:31] Interesting, but completely
[00:16:32] incorrect.
[00:16:41] we are strictly shaped into gender
[00:16:44] roles, we grow up in a system where the man is dominant, money means power, that's a vessel
[00:16:45] too.
[00:16:49] When there is a shift in power in a relationship or when a woman wants to
[00:16:53] work and the partner stays at home and takes care of the children,
[00:16:57] that's when
[00:16:58] problems arise.
[00:17:02] So, money and gender roles are very closely linked, but
[00:17:05] according to this psychology. Money is less of a problem for same-sex
[00:17:09] couples. Come to think of it, financial
[00:17:13] topics are rarely mentioned among them. According
[00:17:16] to surveys, about three-quarters of German couples avoid conflicts
[00:17:20] over money, some feel uncomfortable asking for a
[00:17:23] refund. That's why more than a third of Germans avoid the topic and never
[00:17:27] ask their partners to return amounts between 10 and 100
[00:17:31] euros. How do European couples decide who
[00:17:34] pays?
[00:17:39] I think it's okay for it to be fifty- fifty, if someone
[00:17:42] earns significantly less, I would like to take care of them and spoil them
[00:17:46] a little.
[00:17:49] It's important to me to be independent, mostly we split everything
[00:17:52] fifty-fifty. It seems that splitting costs fifty-fifty is quite
[00:17:56] common in Europe, but Gulchihan Korkmas doesn't think it's
[00:18:00] necessarily fair.
[00:18:03] Yes, that's stupid. Excuse me, you can't just split
[00:18:06] 50/50. People are never 50/50, you'll have
[00:18:10] relationships 60/40, 70/30.
[00:18:12] We need to be
[00:18:15] flexible. And what is your opinion on money in
[00:18:19] relationships?
[00:18:22] With that in mind, we've come to the end of the show. For more interesting
[00:18:26] and inspiring stories from all over Europe, don't forget to follow us on
