a present day in the spanish capital my dreads. and for the musician the young child is shaikh who kind of amazing conquers the world of classical music . animal videos and pictures tend to generate millions of clicks on the internet especially those of cats but more recently unusual creatures like the unicorn are also shown showing enormous popularity well move over cats and unicorns because these days the alpaca is the animal it now serves as a motif for various products is celebrated on social media and taking to the trails with a real alpaca is becoming more and more popular but we found find out why the pocket is so in right now and how an animal becomes a trend in the first place. big irresistible eyes and a full head of hair it's an alpaca. the lama's little brother is making

a big on social media. will this fluffy animal from the n d's become a trend for twenty. first is the alpacas appearance that's one of the factors which make them loveable they've got these big sweet eyes and a crazy hairdo that's just right for exaggeration accentuation on product packaging or if it's another factor that doesn't necessarily have to do with appearance that is that it's got a very sassy personality you might think oh they look so sweet and then they get cavities and start spitting. the pakistani off it's conquest of social media as a motif on thousands of cakes. it made the rounds of the do it yourself sites. and put in appearances as fashion items and accessories.

even got under some people's skin. but if that's not enough elle pack up for the style obsessed couples can even hold their weddings with alpacas. just how does a given animal become trendy. you can tell an animal is starting to get trendy when it starts offering up everywhere online and then ad agencies spot this trend and include it and their product ranges for your so they compound the craze in their own marketing strategies will. feel like it is the latest in a long series of animal trends last year the unicorn was anything but a non-existing piece to an ad campaign. for a couple of years tops the trend feet. and the flamingo never seems to go out of style. more evidence of the alpacas increasing popularity this year can be seen if this pack a ranch in. here ever growing

crowds of visitors get an introduction to the alpacas little idiosyncrasies. they can even put halters on them and take the first role that's usually all it takes for them to fall in love with the fluffy creatures. and in that. radically cute very soft and affectionate. the stroll was easy and very pleasant and they really show that it's who holds. the social media's been stampeded with packages and they're so adorable apart from the suppose you see a film that it kills and i think these animals are fascinating you don't see them very often and they look different from your ordinary dogs cats and mice they're so cute and trusting with those eyes and those teeth. because they are native to the n.d.s. mountains of south america. as are their close relatives the larger and heavier

llamas both were domesticated by the indigenous people who use llamas as beasts of burden well packers are brave for their finds will. from the end use to the fashion shows the alpaca is the coming thing will they come to stay. or is another animal already chomping at the bit some are hinting that it might be the slough. trained researcher thomas nybo says another major factor is chance. as a parka blink once it's the alpaca has essentially everything an animal trans needs and that trend can basically last the whole summer through the lighting people and various product packages which it's afford i will but there's always an element of luck involved in one animal craze taking over from another. even if it isn't the year's only animal trend the alpaca. here to fluff up our gloomy hard edged days

for a while yet. alpacas still have stiff competition from cats which were out in full force in romania over the weekend at one cat show maine coons were the biggest stars of the venue and being an owner of a maine coon myself i can tell you that they certainly are a handful that close a sprawling flower carpet in belgium coming off in today's express. hundreds of county lovers came out in google wrist to see two hundred fifty of the most beautiful cats from nine countries on sunday at the fair three lines with all sorts of coats or none at all were in town for the p.c. caught expo. big maine coon cats took the show by storm this year maine coon tom cats can weigh up to eleven kilograms and measure more than a metre in length. the

it to protest the arrest of an artist in turkey. british photographer barry causton captured the image. follows the banksy phenomenon closely and documents the transience art. he's also chronicled the banksy creation dismal land of the so called the museum of park and ill tempered mickey mouse greeted visitors the sarcasm just about leaps out of costin's images and he's long been looking for banksy the graffiti artist nobody has ever seen. i live in the slums and. the feature started appearing around the slums and in the late ninety's. and i was very intrigued by it and loved it and. she has become more and more popular. and then moved down to the southwest bristol and so some of his work down there and saw a lot more coffee down there and you know i think it's a. an amazing thing but he says his style is particularly provocative and

a lot the political edge and the humor. in two thousand and fifteen banksy transformed in abandon waterpark into a parody of disney land he called the revamped attraction in the southwestern english coastal resort of weston super mare dismal at the play on words says it all four thousand people a day descended into the early cynical world over a six week period. in principle a bank sees approach is always social criticism. aims to point out abuses and create an opportunity for the people who've suffered them and to consider how to make things better. didn't become this business. and has long been dismantled but it lives on in cost and photography and demonstrates quite drastically al banksy makes his point. how barbie doll embodies

the fate of the 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 documentary project i've done the i'm the first book the item. and get i was photographing and for about a year to the two months of of the disneyland. banksias project was up and then another ten months wander around the back streets and side streets of west and see from. the director of the exhibition at the folk wing in ironworks congratulates cost in on his success the photographs help the curator put together an exhibition of images by. banksy the phantom. the second banksy project the cost and spoto

spring to life in the iron works is a real hotel in bethlehem with a creepy yet opulent four yeah an interior. banksy is walled off hotel is his statement on the conflict in the middle east. shortly after the hotel opened last year cost and spent a few days there might try and make them like paintings of it. quite often don't have a soul polish black or a harsh wind to the only they seem a little bit different sure to the way most french girls see. the cherubs hanging in a hotel bar where oxygen masks these tortured angels personify the israeli palestinian conflict. very constans perspective on banks these images takes the graffiti artists work to a whole new level. time now to take

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. for the first time i had this show as i was on you tube i was watching a video of missionizing playing it. my teacher told me to could 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 to almost kind of screaming and lots of sarcasm yeah it's just full of. everything really and i think that's why. both playing and listen to it come be quite emotional. the very same cello concerto gave kind of mason 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. you know started back home with his family. who was the third of seven children all

of the musicians. 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. i always loved classical music because i grew up listening to it and i never saw. my background as kind of obstacle i'm in it but i think there is definitely. a massive lack of divesting i think one of the main reasons for that is if you are young. person from an ethnic minority background and. rarely sees

someone who looks like he 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 can something cool that. she can kind of mason break free from the cliches of the world of classical music in zurich conductor howard griffiths sat in on a dress rehearsal. he keeps an eye out for talented young musicians for the year freedom foundation. is imaginative or say he's a very imaginative musician who's brimming with emotion that's the victim that's the most important trait for an artist to be able to bring feelings across because ceased i think it's a gift that not every cellist or musician has to be sick i don't want 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 justice 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's 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. hour that we wrap up today. so before we go we want to let you weigh in on this week's contest now we
