Oft trifft Hochwasser die Brdy-Region in Tschechien, und Felder, Straßen und Gärten stehen unter Wasser. Die Menschen warten auf Hilfe und hoffen auf Veränderung.Beamte planen einen Hochwasserdamm an einer klaren Stelle am Fluss. Aber der Papierkram zieht sich, Genehmigungen stocken, und deshalb wartet das Land einfach.Anfang 2025 kommen acht Biber, und dann ändert sich alles. Sie schwimmen den Fluss auf und ab, um einen Platz zu wählen.Sie erkunden die Ufer und wählen genau denselben Platz, den die Ingenieure geplant haben. Also beginnen sie sofort mit der Arbeit.Sie fällen kleine Bäume und tragen Äste. Danach stapeln sie das Holz hoch und drücken Schlamm in die Lücken.Nach ein paar Nächten steht der Damm fest. Es gibt keine Pläne und keine Besprechungen. Stattdessen zählen Teamarbeit und Instinkt.Jaroslav Obermajer, ein örtlicher Naturschutzbeauftragter, hört die Nachricht. Er fährt hin und lächelt, denn die Natur löst das Problem und spart 1,2 Millionen Euro.Wenn du dich einmal festgefahren fühlst, erinnere dich vielleicht an diese Geschichte. Manchmal ist die beste Lösung die, die ganz natürlich zu dir kommt.
ENGLISH:
Floods often hit the Brdy region in Czechia, and fields, roads, and gardens go under water. People wait for help and hope for change. Officials plan a flood-control dam at a clear spot on the river. But the paperwork drags on, permits stall, and so the land just waits. In early 2025, eight beavers arrive, and then everything changes. They swim up and down the river to choose a place. They scout the banks and pick the same spot the engineers planned. So they begin their work at once. They cut small trees and carry branches. After that, they stack the wood high and press mud into the gaps. After a couple of nights, the dam stands strong. There are no plans and no meetings. Instead, teamwork and instinct matter. Jaroslav Obermajer, a local nature officer, hears the news. He drives out and smiles, because nature solves the problem and saves €1.2 million. If you ever feel stuck, maybe remember this story. Sometimes the best solution is the one that comes to you naturally.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
