i will meet one of their secret weapons food scouts. and critically acclaimed electronica artist dance name. claims music type whose new album suddenly tackles the big. 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 on avoidable 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 carbo 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 we flew into milan so we felt like we had to get out there pretty quick 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 we think that there's basically 63 lol and they didn't stop us from coming and. we are a little bit worried about the ok we are or saw we leave here instead because we can see told 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 fairly dark humor. i'm not there. yet but all i did. oh i have. 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

a day in 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 book fair has just been cancelled course the 2nd largest book fair in germany off the frank book had been chewed to begin on march 12th last she attracted 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 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 visitors maintain a distance of one meter from midland cathedral has reopened on this basis but is only letting small groups in but actually these restrictions are necessary because they're all very few tourists out and about 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 to scrutiny you probably seen this video yesterday a video of the german interior minister refusing to shake hands with chancellor angela merkel went viral

a 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 alternative greeting the foot shea maybe we should be we should try that unfortunately can't see it will. bring in our eye on the outbreak situation across europe and the globe thanks very much adrian for for all of that background information. well 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 style himself after the scandinavian food hunter and he's the parents middleman who helps top chefs in the various 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 you do not possible it was tasting a very special version of this delicacy white to 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 it means we can offer there's regional caviar in our restaurant and that's very special to. us. next the food scott went to sebastian needham i asked found bomb back in southern germany it wasn't a restful visit to the pair dug up one metre long roots from the soil trying not to damage them that we've now got lots of juice in them and the more you damage them the more juice comes out a sign of quality and if i want to follow that and pull them out but i rip them

that i need to stop from the beginning again of the old and the only extraordinary specialties warrant 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. brought his freshly secured treasures to the restaurant to head chef to b.s. baits for tasting and quality assessment 1st the albino caviar. 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 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. 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 bar for true we've called olivia and while chilean down there is a type of china as a thai true or your god isn't only here for the chili sauce 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 dance nathan about manning up to need to and life's other turbulence. we caught up with caribou in tottenham this summer rougher part of london his new album is called submarine 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 caribou to think critically

about toxic masculinity the result is the song sister. long way. ringback 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 far too much more pervasive within the kind of our ideas of masculinity in our society more and down snaith caribou is a master of euphoric melancholy his songs are always both was full and happy because 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 most things. in. 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
