mood as queen beatrix gets ready to mark a milestone birthday she's turning eighty and can boast a lifetime of experience beatrix retired from her royal duties as queen five years ago passing the torch on to her son villa but that doesn't mean she's disappeared from the hearts and minds of her fellow dutch citizens who. the few macqueen of the netherlands is new with the dutch a reputation as very disciplined and dedicated means she still held in high regard . beatrix was born general thirty first nine hundred thirty eight the first daughter of queen yawn of the netherlands and prince ben a childhood in canadian exile during the war and that home was happy we knew yana gave her and her three sisters the freedom to be children and i don't criticize any other royal houses talked some of condescendingly of the bicycle monarchy they'd see queen beatrix as mother riding around on a bike the worlds were very touchy i very close to the people. even as crown princess beatrix made it clear that she had her own ideas and the will to act on them for example with her choice of a husband in one thousand nine hundred sixty five she got engaged to german diplomatic klaus for moms back they married the following year not saddam. but dutch popular sentiment. as against welcoming the german into the royal house the festivities were overshadowed by street protests but in time prince klaus became a real favorite with the dutch the couple have three sons. one thousand nine hundred eighty beatrix his mother queen yana became. beatrix ring the queen for thirty three years at first she willed political influence and responsibility for forming new government later these powers were curtailed by parliament. in the beginning of her reign people found that she was meddlesome just didn't just watching every detail everything on politics alone and they didn't like that too much because and she looked a bit at a distance you know it drops. to near to me but that changed over the tauren one especially with her. personal tragedies and a whole lot of. the first personal tragedy came in october two thousand and two when her husband prince klaus of the netherlands died after a long battle with illness this was a severe blow to the queen. she suffered another tragedy in twenty twelve when her second son freezone was buried in an avalanche while skiing and spent months in a coma you know because twenty thirteen the royal house announced prince freeserve died it was a difficult time for the royal family. but the accident of prince freezer was admired quite a people in the middle as she stood and we re sort of tragedy in iraq calls but she hold all. and she went all go to work and be just as folks that she was. before. it wasn't long before beatrix had resumed her facial duties in full. in twenty thirteen at the age of seventy five beatrix passed the crown on to her eldest son much as she had received it from her mother in one thousand nine hundred eighty it is meant to toast with complete confidence i shall be handing the sovereign's office over to my son prince villa alexander on april thirtieth it's from one year. for the first time in over a century a man ascended the dutch throne king alexander will go to year for it's a great honor to succeed my mother and for us to serve our country with motivation many of them all seem to have to hating princes beatrix has been helping out the royal couple as official appearances. and she had a daughter in law queen maxima another most popular members of the dutch boyle family doesn't trust us what's characteristic of beatrix is this great love she had for her husband and has her family in this country among the steadfastness she has she's always been a great personality. one of president sky. above old princess beatrix is enjoying her retirement and spending more time with her family . and speaking of royalty british prince william and his wife kate are in sweden bidders visiting their swedish counterparts and taking in some sport also trees in a warsaw are experiencing their fifteen minutes of fame plus quite a gem has been found in russia more on those stories coming up in today's express. on tuesday prince william and his wife catherine the duchess of cambridge flew to sweden's capital stall count right away they took in a game of sandy similar to hockey throwing a couple to feel. but unity to try it out for themselves. even though catherine's expecting her first child in april william and catherine will spend a total of four days travelling around sweden and norway. in poland's capital warsaw a sculptor has created a fairy tale square from tree trunks the figures were inspired by a children's t.v. show called nice shot tech or teddy floppy ear the series has run since the one nine hundred fifty s. and the chief cult status among poles i'm say is about ski carved out several familiar characters with a chainsaw so you some of your so many amazing emotions of joy expressed by the inhabitants. really emotional wow moments what. someone finally thought of soup or how beautiful something like that remains in my memory you don't know but isn't. the trunks are from trees that have been damaged in a storm last year and were due to be cut down. an enormous emerald has been discovered in russia's ural mountains the arm can't gemstone and weighs over one and a half kilos and is fourteen centimeters in length it's the largest stone on earth at the mine in a decade. we immediately realized the size of the stone the world it's estimated to be was nearly sixty thousand europe's urals mark the border between asia and europe known for the high concentration of gems arms. the german painter sebastian shridhar is attracting more and more attention on the international art scene and as one gallery director puts it schrader as works are firmly set in the in-between transition meaning his figures are captured. both the before and after while the berlin artist paints with or oil on canvas and his subjects are mostly men in dramatic poses we met up with him in a studio in berlin to talk more about his style. sebastian scada is searching for the secrets of paintings using to follow the latest trends the young artist works like an old master he has faith in the power of painting. as a painting should stand on its i have no concept or no message i don't think something up and then follow that through the fool instead i supply one part of the time and then try to get another part to come on its or something icon figure out which ones we could float over the i leave things to chance. or for that secretly i hope that the pictures are smarter than i am but more goes into them that i never even thought was good. for him is like an adventure a journey taken with paint and canvas sebastian scott has often surprised himself with how his works turned out but he's a master with brushes and paint and retains a close connection to the history of the. early work was cold spots or black square. this is a convenient wooden models of things combined at the bottom with his figure in a melancholy pose which has a tinge of alaric you know about him to be might say it was in part the melancholy attitude towards modernism for lost some tired i would. define convention taking it easy doing things that make no sense postcard us pictures our country midges to today's hectic world their images of rebellion. for me it was important that there be a kind of refusal implicit in a questioning of why people are always so faggotry of these days where there's no alternative and almost always going to just start to not be a part of it off but to stick with what is important to you in this one but then brought. to justice. ironically these pictures of denial are especially popular in places of prosperity felix robbins is a wealthy entrepreneur based in london and a collector of sebastian charters works. there is a link between what we've got from the past and the answer of today and. so we kind of need to. work for contemporary works of today that reflect today and sebastian falls right in back of your of message in quality and. fits in with the rest germany changing is enjoying a boom abroad especially works from what's become known as the new like six school sebastien child has also benefiting from this success even though he studied art and berlin not like his pictures are always set in closed undefinable spaces like figures or group painting the men depicted in them are being used in intense light . does is not responsible whist i consciously avoid using the illusion of space there are always two dimensional going to it will never see a german forest apparent as a background in my works it's the avoidance of telling a story and shrinking things somehow. but that's what it's creating a free out trickle stage and concentrating on schuman existence. idle people. in sébastien squat as new as works they begin to disintegrate instead of illustration these works border on obstruction. the artist has a chronic liar and an age of uncertainty wandering between painting traditions between representation and abstraction pursuing but one passion the play with shape and color and accepting the result whatever it turns out to be. every week we bring you five fun facts and our series high five and today we
