i didn't puzzle you so by going along it's not easy to go to another country you know nothing about the wife of a fellow and do this because we can't stay on venezuela or you're not on the subway . closely global news that matters d.w. made for mines. when the wind picks up through through the sunroof evening they want to go and it's very difficult to truly go through but. sometimes being a reporter can be quite a challenge hello and welcome to your own max i'm evelyn sharma and i'm so glad that you could join us first show you how maks got on with that balancing act in

just a moment but first here's what else is coming up in the show to the. what will we be eating this year the latest food transport two thousand nine hundred pounds how a british photo artist takes old masters into the digital age. so you just figure through the darkness carrying strange head gear what looks like something from a fairy tale is actually an auld austrian tradition groups of religious go from house to house making loud noises to scare away evils there are a new series quirky customs your next reporters join in some strange but wonderful european traditions to find out what they're all about but today is for parts the march turned out to be quite a challenge for our very own max merrill. you

won't find this in any store not carrying around this giant contraption just for fun i'm training for the march in a small town in austria sights come a good region. a tradition in which ringing bells and illuminated colorful caps are meant to scare away the evil winter spirits. i'm in snowy austria in this winter wonderland here where they have a wonderful and weird tradition of the glow where they chase away ghosts with these magnificent hats i want to take part in they all told me i wouldn't manage but i couldn't even make it for ten meters let's find out more. similar events are held all over the region but the most famous and spectacular because here. we're now with the rent boys and they're quite traditional so i wonder if they'd let me join in. several songs. it was.

very good and their group has been around since one thousand nine hundred two but the weather has really been those. weeks their mission if it's been snowing heavily continue so it won't be easy to walk with them this time. thank you so. it's resulted in particular will have a problem too much rain falls on the caps then they could get sagal there varnished but we'll have to see. the sleet could ruin hundreds of hours of manual labor the head of the aisle to group. shows just how the caps are made at his workshop. the finish caps a stored here waiting to be used this evening. in time to take a look at the inside which contains a wooden frame and real candles. so there's no danger that will catch fire it's not

very likely has it ever happened on occasion or motif so reminiscent of church windows black cardboard forms the frame for cutouts with colorful transparent paper all this to scare away evil when two spirits. believe in ghosts or believe in ghosts otherwise they wouldn't take part of. the al scorched ed group let me do a little test run before tonight's big event all. the camera catches the wind like a sail. i've got a companion vow to help me through the winter weather. even the home or family's youngest son has his own capital ready. my cap weighs around ten kilograms but some are heavier up to twenty kilos. back to they're going to back a group. time to get dressed in white overalls

like the others. so far i'm only allowed to help others put their caps on. the candles are lit at the starting point. the tension is palpable. and i'm getting my hopes up. i get to try on the belle belt but the cap is still not coming my way only locals are allowed to take part. once the candles are lit the men sing their traditional song to get into the spirit for the much. oh back in the day only single men were allowed to participate but the rules are not a strict anymore. oh. the march starts with

a bang they set off making an almighty racket and entering to pass as many homes and fields as possible on their way that's meant to bring the people good fortune and guarantee a rich harvest the members of the ginsburg group make their way to the town center like all other groups from a.b.c. around three hundred men take part in total. and finally i get my chance it might have something to do with the fact that the rain and snow have already caused irreparable damage to the caps there's not much left for me to ruin . but i know. this is. the last stage of the night for the good looks and it's a real honor and i'm actually allowed to walk with them but i quickly realize it was a big mistake not wearing gloves after just a few minutes my fingers

a so numb that i can barely hold on but giving up is not an option. after all the others have been doing this for hours. oh well there's a mulled wine it was a heavy load to carry and a heavy load to bear but finally i got to take power. in the clock went off and now it's time to say cheers to the boys. the group share one last song and who knows maybe they have scared away all the ghosts and this year's harvest has been saved. all of. well done max. now what you can see here might look like something from a chemistry lab but in fact it has a futuristic kind of food production and researchers at the future food studio in vienna austria say we might be eating more food like this very soon in the annual

food report they reveal the major european trends in food and astronomy some of them have been developing for years consumers buying less need for example others however little more surprising. one thing is already quite certain in twenty nineteen will be green but still look a bit synthetic science fiction movies warned us about this. fortunately this is also on both a juicy spring chicken breast with a thick flavor for wine sauce. once a year austrian nutritionist honey let's discuss is the latest trends in her food report in twenty nine thousand french cuisine makes its comeback but with a difference now cockle valens accompanied by falafel and couscous instead of the usual potato side dishes. consequentialism

has become very sense in its ways very musty it hasn't changed at all but now it's starting to move among other things french cuisine is lovingly reinventing the classics a little new a fresher and lighter and allowing entirely new influences about annoyances that i mean. how do you let's like drops by helga a viennese start up health is short for healthy algae. and here it is the ultimate green food. she has seeds oat building and dried chlorella algae are mixed together to make a pudding. it's a wonderful combination. tend to be really opens up a world of flavor totally different from the dried varieties we know from asia i can well imagine using the. first of. the next snack is spicy or

algae crackers with an algae homo step go green is the slogan of a movement championing lots of chlorophyll in food the pigment is said to vitalize the body. for example in this soft drink. from thief books over fifty percent of this very tiny micro algae is made up of protein and that becomes especially interesting when we think about how we're going to supply eight to ten billion people with protein in the future wheat. this farm in the state of saxony and held in eastern germany grows the trendy freshwater algae the water filled system of glass tubes is five hundred kilometers long. does a stimulus bill systems can be set out where conventional farming isn't possible here we can have agriculture even with no fertile soil considering how fast the algae grows it shows enormous potential specially since it contains all the

nutrients we expect our food to deliver. honey let's let stops by the taster e shop in vienna based on a unique concept the patrons can try out innovative products mostly from smaller companies before buying them the taste is just what its name implies. a long running trend is centered around insects here in a trail mix with crickets and worms. when you want to buy me so i think together with a hint of sour from the berries it's a really wonderful mix joe the nuts complement the flavor of the meal worms it's a nice light snack with a good portion. of protein. and finally there's a trend called healthy hedonism it sounds almost like an oxymoron but if it's done right keeping health aspect in mind it can work. in

a culture we've long believed that if it's too good it must be unhealthy but in france it was just the opposite they believe if it doesn't taste good become be healthy. so once again french savoir vivre is shaping our philosophy of eating and living depriving yourself was yesterday. and a time when all we have left to eat is algae may be here sooner than we think. and if you want to learn more about the latest cullen area trends check out our you tube channel there you'll also learn about the latest developments in the way we shop you can find us at you tube dot com slash steve w. you're a mac. now this is no new food and lemons have always been very popular in the south of france each year the town of montauk holds a magical lemon festival it features statues like this one created from citrus

fruit though there is a much bigger and even more a to stick but then my scout sure it's destined to become lemonade for my colleagues later on anyway. them boy into pandas me made out of oranges and lemons. ten decorated floats accompanied by acrobats and musicians parade down the seafront prominent thirteen weeks the town of montana on the french riviera is turned over to a celebration of lemons. the entire world knows what lemons mean to us they symbolize the town of monto and the joy of its residents the. locals call the lemon the golden fruit and the town pulled out all the stops for the annual festival of citrus fruits. months of work have gone into the preparations. we put so much work into theirs and the result is very satisfying

to do all the dismissal. this industrial park on the edge of town is one of the sculptures are made. first designed in a three d. computer model ten are in bands of welded to make the frames the fruit is attached at the last possible moment if it's not fresh it will fall off. the rubber band goes underneath here and then it's pulled tight where. the fruit will be held by it will go to takes a team of seven or eight people two days to decorate a single float. we use thirty kilos of fruit per square meter on every single float . this year one hundred sixty five tons of citrus fruit went into the decoration. lemons have been cultivated in montana

to seven hundred years and have helped bring prosperity to the region one hundred years ago long time was europe's largest lemon producer unfortunately that's changed so that's from a mother who has won numerous prizes for the quality of the citrus fruit. lemons from all tall or less acidic and they stay fresh for a long time our soil is the reason they grow so well we have very sandy soil here it's a bloom to. my ancestors earned a living from lemons just as i do today if you do it properly this fruit is a gold mine. on three nights the various gardens in montana are illuminating. the fantasy world of yellow and orange lights up the night. it's one of the festival's highlights.

i'm very impressed this is wonderful really lovely to see how much work went into this it's really impressive. for on this incredible work amazing it's all. filled with light sound and fragrance the annual lemon festival in montana is one of a kind. by the way once the festival is over the fruit which is still good enough is so old and not thrown away what do you think about artworks made from food join us in the discussion on facebook with love to hear from you and now from lemons to win on us the visit of a swiss back manufacturer who has found a new and sustainable way to use the banana plant to create chic accessories and it's already bearing fruit. bags made from bananas.

actually they're from banana tex a fabric produced using fibers of the banana plant. the fibers are derived from the fruit itself from the stocks banana texas was developed by the question back brand . they have already been awarded a design prize for their work by a swiss magazine. question is based here in zurich switzerland in recent years its founders who include christian cagy. and hunnish have experimented with a variety of sustainable materials. on phone. we started off with cotton and spent a couple of years developing an organic cotton fabric. at the same time we experimented with linen hemp and bamboo and in the process we stumbled upon banana fiber so for right away we were impressed by its attention.

of a car also known as manila hemp is native to the philippines and has been used to make items such as wrote and fishing nets since the nineteenth century the plant froze wild in the jungle not on plantations it doesn't require any irrigation fertilizer or pesticides the fibers are dried nearby there are later turned into paper. when you twine the banana fibers right away and turn them into yon and then we've them it produces a really irregular com look through this intermediary step this paper we can even it out. at a specialist weaving mill in taiwan the paper is turned into fabric the paper is cut into thin strips that are twine into yarn and then. the resulting fabric makes its way to neighboring china where the bags are manufactured and working conditions which meet new standards. the bags design also

plays a decisive role the details are well thought out the style is casual and functional . the collection is being sold in some two hundred stores worldwide a bag made from banana fiber costs around two hundred twenty euros the model range is limited at present but more designs are in the works. a given how during the course of its development we also discovered that lots of companies were interested in trying it out. we were a bit surprised by the demand and by the fact that need for sustainable materials is so great across many industries. are feeling the stream say of course he's the swiss label creates urban bags for environmentally conscious trendsetters and if their bags ever go out of style they can just compost them.

museum goers often have to queue for hours to see paintings all the masters likely united have been she but what are these artworks really mean to us today how can we have relate to what the artist was trying to convey these are questions that fasten the british photo artist emily all church and she finds the answers and her very own individual way. the tower of fable is a recurring subject throughout our history photo artist emily all charges given it's a new spin this piece was created after the e.u. referendum and what i really wanted to do would show britain in this entirety right now with and really pivotal moment in british history i suppose manchester birmingham london the portal of the cardiff millennial center. sections here of street art and i. wanted to include this this is

by an artist nathan coley and there will be no miracles here and to be honest it kind of summed up what was going on in the feeling of peace really. i would say that my photographs are made not taken so they're very highly complicated photographic digital collages where i recreate old master paintings and prints from the contemporary perspective. emily collects and arranges hundreds of individual photos for her digital. the composition structure was taken from another old master the eighteenth century italian edger giovanni but to put in a.z. known primarily for his copper engravings of ancient roman landmarks and your church is fascinated by his architectural fantasies some of which are kept in the

library of the sir john so museum in london it's always really exciting to get a say in a written or most of print and i've always loved her and particularly i know this image it's one of his most famous ones but. this is the first time i seen it in the flesh i just find it really inspiring i love seeing the drummer in here. in a.z. is via appia in rome inspired her latest work dealing with the housing shortages plaguing modern london she took thousands of photos all around the city. thing at the architectural shapes and finding similarities i'll take various images and then i'll work out what fits best into the final composition. the digital processing is the most time consuming part emily all church picks out details from a great cache of photos and manipulates. sizes colors and shades until they fit

into the greater whole pixel by pixel she pieces together her image based on the original artwork the final image is made up of several thousand layers. her latest work titled ghost towns debuted at the twenty nine thousand london art fair. ghost towers refer to the many empty luxury flats to be found in london's high rises while at the same time many local people can't find an affordable place to live. the people sleeping on the footpath and all the people you know future people living in these big buildings so it is quite quite interesting piece of work. you get the military to think oh all right recognize that building. in recent years emily all chance has been coming to asia in search of new motifs she plans to follow in marco polo footsteps on the silk road her approach to art is simply turn the old into the new.

and even the tower of babel has made it to hong kong. the fashion world as mourning the loss of one of the greatest designers karl lagerfeld. it's hard to imagine what it could be without him here max has often reported on the great man and his fantastic creations so today and he would like to finish just so by paying tribute to karl lagerfeld by showing us some beautiful moments in half life.
