dan. proclaimed music nerdy type whose new album suddenly tackles the big life. the 1st casualties on the cultural front in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak were of course in china cinemas and theaters were quickly shut down there and film productions were halted but now is countries here in europe scramble to contain outbreaks the effects on the european art scene are unavoidable and here are some of the high profile cancellations thus far. then this is almost unrecognizable as tourists stay away in droves st mark's square is almost deserted gondolas stand empty the famous then is carnival was cooked tailed but the outbreak is no longer confined to northern italy. the church of st louis of the french in rome was shut down after

a priest who practiced mass here later tested positive for the corona virus the tourists who are here are stoic about the risks they flew into milan so we felt like we had to get out of there pretty quick going to rome which was a part of our original plan but we've been here and it's been very nice people places to go and we came to that basically 63 lol and they didn't stop us from coming. we are a little bit worried but ok we are all soul we leave you instead because we can see we if you are ok ok you you go out and you would you try to to leave normally obviously if you try to work to go ahead meanwhile in france the louvre has been shut down staff refused to work because they were worried about the potential spread of the virus in the world's most visited museum.

in switzerland all events with more than 1000 visitors have been banned until march 15th the results deserted streets for the famous carnival fast knocked. a few diehards dong costumes and one group spirit so we have some further lead dark humor. i'm not here. yet. yeah. certainly a humorous take on the situation but we know this is a very serious issue adrian kennedy from our culture desk joining me so adrian italy and france switzerland and now germany here we are with covered 900 that's right the big news today here is that the likes of books has just been cancelled

course the 2nd largest book fair in germany off the franc for book have been chewed to begin on march 12th last year track to almost 300000 visitors best selling author sebastian fitz a who was shuttle to have taken part said this is the one for no one needs with no happy end in sight and sizing sad news is not just for book fans but also for service providers and small businesses who do business at the train or small business is definitely most at risk here now incredible pictures of a deserted venice their tourism i'm supposing is is probably the hardest hit industry so far that's right and nor the history of course the hard hit schools universities and museums have been closed down in a designated coded 18 red zone but there have also been attempts to be ject business as usual message by some politicians and businesses in the yellow zone

museums can open it and if they can ensure that businesses maintain a distance of one meet from midland cathedral has reopens on this basis but is only letting small groups in but actually these restrictions are unnecessary because they're all very few tourists out in the bout in north and it's really lots of parts being canceled as you can see as we can see there now it's interesting that in a very very short time this fire. this also seems to be changing aspects of cultural behavior that's why the handshake is coming on the bit of scrutiny you probably see in this video yesterday a video of the german interior minister refusing to shake hands with chancellor angela merkel went viral the chance to. see hope for was quite rightly not shaking hands is a sensible precaution another viral video believed to have rejected you who hand

shows an innovative turn it's of greeting the foot maybe we should be we should try that unfortunately we can't see it well for. thing and i on the outbreak situation across europe and the globe thanks very much adrian for for all of that background information. in keeping with the trend of virus motivated cancellations germany's michelin star awards gala scheduled for tuesday night was also called off the work of many michelin starred chefs does go on and your cost but it has styled himself after the scandinavian food hunter and he's the parents middleman who helps top chefs in bavaria stay abreast of new tastes and trends. you will sometimes travel several 100 kilometers a day to scout we 1st followed him to visit sebastian solomon who breed sturgeon's and produces caviar. but it would be more possible it was tasting

a very special version of this delicacy white 2 golden caviar from albino sturgeon's. the food scout was impressed with that because it's pretty rare which is why i'm very happy it works so well by sebastian's and yet or and it means we can offer these regional caviar in a restaurant and that's very special to us on the. next the food scott went to sebastian needham i asked found bomb back in southern germany and it was in the rest will visit the paradox up one metre long roots from the soil trying not to damage them with everything i've got lots of juice in them and the more you damage them the more juice comes out that's a sign of quality and if i want to follow that and pole them out but i rip them then i need to stop from the beginning again a little bit the only extraordinary specialties war at this much work what the 2 men are after are licorice roots these are usually found in west asia and are used

for making licorice. but how does licorice root fit into gourmet cooking your asphalt brought his freshly secured treasures to the restaurant to head chef to be a space for tasting and quality assessment 1st the albino caviar. liking it doesn't have much flavor yet because it's so fresh. both agree that the sturgeon roast still needs to develop its full flavor so should be left a few more days. next to the food scout and head chef brainstorm ideas for including licorice on their menu. the team in the gourmet restaurant has already won 2 michelin stars. there is also a fine keystroke kitchen which serves carefully composed dishes. of scouts and

finds ingredients for both bistro and restaurant. exotic fruits tend to lose a lot of. flavor on long haul flights so the food scout gets them locally at klein eden palm house and. a fruit safari for star cuisine but today the hunch is for spice it's a far bird flu and we've called it a levy and while chilean down there is a type of china each as little as a tie to the know your god isn't only here for the chilies he's also after their leaves. the leaves are tossed in temper a batter and then deep fried in hot oil. next to b.s. baits coats the green chips with a fiery chili paste. job of a spicy bit sensational you really come up with something special here and with that food scout your cost bald heads off on a new journey there's still

a lot more to discover. well even those who pan most electronic dance music as mindless beats might pick up their ears when they hear dan snaith the canadian electronica musician who records as caribou and daphne is based in london and his latest album suddenly hits all the spectrum points from personal to pertinence even political and so we spoke to dense nathan about manning up to me too and life's other turbulence. we caught up with caribou in top of the somewhat rougher part of london his new album is called suddenly that's how his daughter was born suddenly in a taxi and the changes in the world over the past 5 years also feel as though they've happened suddenly to me to movement motivated cariboo to think critically about toxic masculinity the result is the song sister.

long war. you. thinking that the people that those that committed those kind of behaviors were you know cartoon kind of villains like a sleazy horrible man but then realizing that no it's much more pervasive within the kind of our ideas of masculinity in our society more and damn snaith cariboo is a master of euphoric melancholy his songs are always both was full and happy. and there's this crazy jump from one to the other i'm going to make sure that exactly things come in slightly too loud the kind of there's a sense of surprise a sense of disjunction between those things.

and. a career in music wasn't a sure thing for caribou. his childhood piano lessons were not exactly successful he found liberation by improvising on his father's piano experimenting with sounds deep into the night and once he did start getting major gigs he continued working on his ph d. in higher mathematics he's a level headed guy but he lets loose at his concerts and he's been known to play 8 hour d.j. sets easily keeping up with an audience some 20 years younger than he is. caribou makes machine music with a human heart packing serious messages into a group. and before we go the winners of the pritzker prize for 2020 have been announced that something like the nobel prize for architecture and the dublin based you of yvonne pharrell and shelley mcnamara have

been working together since the 1970 s. the jury said they create spaces that are respectable and yet over history. and of course have their own architectural voices and that's about all we have time for this time so i'm just going to feed i think.
