princess who became an icon lady di still hounded by celebrity photographers even in death. banksy has posted constance pictures on his official website that makes the photographer a part of the process he also takes an interest in the social conditions that have inspired banksy. this one was the first big social documentary project i've done and the first book that i've done. and get i was photographing of . the two months of of the dismemberment when functions project was up and then another ten months wondered around the back streets and side streets of west and see from that. the director of the exhibition at the folk laying in iron works congratulates causton on his success the photographs help the curator put together an exhibition of images by banksy the phantom. of the second banksy project that

a trip thanks to a request from acapulco in a mexico that is where our viewer cloudy lena lives and she would like to know more about the spanish capital madrid which has really taken off as a top tourist destination over the last couple of years now this is due in part to relatively low prices for food and accommodation am a large variety of things to do from culture to sightseeing plus an efficient public transportation system allows tourists to cover lots of ground in a short period of time while i recently traveled there to meet up with local resident and blogger my fellow do love pena who offered some insiders hips on how to best explore the city. ledger it a sprawling metropolis with architecture representing several centuries a drive down the main brownfield boulevard gives visitors an impression of the energetic vibe of the spanish capital. located directly in the center of town the

past some by yours madrid's main square it's a popular gathering place filled with cafes public relations manager my fellow do a lot pena was born and raised here your spare time she writes a blog giving tourists insider tips. if i only had a day i would definitely suggest a bit of a good target a visit to one of the three major themes museum we have in the jade like the brother that i'm just a few out of the distance and i would also suggest a shopping because opt out from the big and well known mismanage brands that everybody knows we also have in this and i'm going to stick with really nice shops for spanish brands and the third thing i would suggest medical is on the. the macondo just let me get out is located just a few meters away from the plus in my yard the structure dates back to nineteen

sixteen unlike other spanish markets this is not a place to do ordinary grocery shopping but rather a venue to enjoy and a ray of spanish delicacy. that doesn't mean it is very interesting and as you can see that a lot of people at every hour of the day it was a million like it that they have it and we know they did and the good thing is that you have a like all the good choices of spanish guests rather especially the a baker house. following marcello's second tip we head to the shopping district of salamanca this is madrid's most exclusive suburb with narrow tree lined streets and small boutiques which offer unique items that are hard to find anywhere else. marcello's blog also outlines where tourists can go if they're in search of a fantic spanish t.v. sign. leslie is very good to

push up in a mass market neighborhood for the that and you would find like very expensive but takes like this one where they said very fashion leather backs with spanish leather of course. for tourists interested in taking in some culture the prado museum or the decision born of me says private collection for the rennison fia must be put on the list of places to go. to render sophia museum opened in one thousand nine hundred ninety two and houses contemporary art including icon of the twentieth century. kabul picasso's guernica depicting the one thousand nine hundred thirty seven bombing of the town in the basque country. we have five great collection of sort of tennis bodies out of these who i believe like need or like one goodies

common and yet a bad one many people know that the original the word is because i am the only times when you i mean you saw it there today they would serve it with a clover like this and which would be a bit of a tease are nowadays when you ask for it that fast they make and serve you something like this you know that we have a little bit of cheese we have turkey so i know we have bread sticks. madrid might have a big city feel to it but life here moves at a slow leisurely pace and that is also would be tourists and enjoy when visiting this city. and you can find tips on how to spend a day in madrid on our facebook page as you may have already seen your max is very active on social media worry are on facebook. an instagram where you will find lots of extras related to the show here's where to find us. europe at its best your

his name is shaikh who kind a mason and it is in fact his first time with the zurich tone how the orchestra it's a rehearsal for his first concert in switzerland. he'll be playing dmitri shostakovich is cello concerto number one and. just a few bars and it's obvious this is not just any young conservatory musician. she could kind of mason jumps right into one of the most technically difficult pieces for the cello. the first time i heard this concert i was on you tube i was watching a video of mission icici playing it. my teacher told me to go i never had

a fad of this piece this was when i was about. fourteen fifteen i think this piece goes through such a huge range of emotions and colors from. really learning me. feelings team or mice kind of screaming and lots of stockhausen yeah it's just full of. everything really and i think that's why. both paying and listen to come be quite emotional. this very same cello concerto gave kind amazing his greatest success to date in twenty sixteen when he won the b.b.c. young musician competition. the award helped to launch his career. it all started back home with his family. who was the third of seven children all

of the musicians. thank you. thank you thank you it was their parents who made sure that music would become a natural part of their daily lives in spite of a tight budget and a lack of mentors. thank you. thank you thank you. i always loved classical music because i grew up listening to and i never saw. my background is kind of obstacle in there but i think there is definitely. a massive lack of diversity and i think one of the main reasons for that is if you are a young. person from an ethnic minority background then you would rarely seen

someone who looks like you performing on a stage and that's something that. i have to change and i hope for young children to see what i'm doing and to see how it is because something or that. she could kind of mason break free from the cliches of the world of classical music in zurich conductor howard griffiths sat in on the dress rehearsal. he keeps an eye out for talented young musicians for the year fame foundation. imaginative or say he's a very imaginative musician who is brimming with emotion that's the victim that's the most important trait for an artist to be able to bring feelings across because east i think it's a gift that not every child has the musician has. and to have that gift at this age is really something special in the lungs of us in

a very slow movement see can find something to tell and we the audience can hear the tale says and that's what's most important. she could kind of mason grabs his listener's attention after the concert he signed one cd after another in february his debut album inspiration made number one on britain. classical music charts he's a young talent with much to offer and the potential to set a shining example for other musicians in the future. and where that we wrap up today so before we go we want to let you weigh in on this week's contest now we
