here's a look at what else we've got in store for you. today. we dive into a major archaeological discovery off the coast of france. and we sink our teeth into a summer delicacy in spain, snails, it's bold, it's aggressive, and people are divided over. it's beauty, i'm talking about brutal as to architecture. it's a style that developed in the 19 fifties and was meant to be simple and functional . but these heavy, concrete structures began to lose their popularity in the eighty's because people viewed them as to cold. well, many examples that still exist and have developed a cult following, especially in the u. k, where the movement began. o clean lines, plenty of concrete and monumental boldness. the architectural style known as brutal

ism polarizes like no other. some see the heavy weight buildings as oppressive. others say they are daring ventures in architecture that deserve to be seen and protected. britain a stock texture for me is such an exciting, bold and ambitious project. it's really all say squeezed into a few years in the 20th century. but in those years we managed to build some of the most fantastic and bowls and adventurous buildings that the country's ever seen. conservator, henrietta billing says, put her fascination with brutal ism to paper. she's great at a map of 50 buildings in this style around london. one of her favorites can be found in west london, the 98 meter high telic tower. it was designed as social housing by the british, hungarian architect and new goldfinger and completed in 1972. back then it was the

case, tallest, residential, high rise, and nicknamed the tower of terror because of the area's high crime rate. but these days, it's a popular residential area, and the iconic building is even available as a souvenir. panic tower is a real landmark of london. not only because of its absolutely monumental architecture, it's really striking silhouette, but it's also really recognizable from anywhere. and it's probably one of the reasons why it's been so successful in times of merchandising. back to the center, the capital's biggest ensemble of brutalized architecture is located in the city, london's financial district. here we find the barbecue, designed by the british architecture farm, chamberlain, powell and bon, when it was opened in 1982 queen elizabeth the 2nd described as a modern wonder of the world. visitors can learn about its unique concept in guided tours. using this amount of concrete is m,

would be impossible today. it would just be 40 energy intensive in photo expensive, but not only that is the technique with which they used to create their surface. and it is using a drill. essentially what come in drilling this f as to create this really uneven texture. the barbican includes a performing arts center, an art gallery and residential complexes. architect melanie schubert has renovated some 2000 of the plats for clients. she's lived in one of them herself for a while and knows that many of her former neighbors are bands of brutal is brutal isn't why i really like it. but i think if you come with know troy knowledge of brutal as i'm all the bobby can all modern architecture, i think it's, it's but difficult. intermittent green areas form oases in the urban desert. the 3 residential towers reaching 123 meters high number among london's tallest buildings

also unique for the high walks reserved for pedestrians, while road traffic passes beneath. henrietta fillings also appreciates the barbarians, shifting perspectives and simplicity. we're just looking at stack a hair into one of the blocks, but it's just 3 simple materials, concrete, steel and glass. what i love about is just the simplicity of it. and through that simplicity, you get designs like this and, and through the glass, you see the concrete stage. and again, you see the steel banisters to even 3 the glass. you see the same repetition of material. i love it. on the south bank of the thames between westminster palace and tower bridge stands london's most prominent, brutal as structure the royal national theatre designed by english architect sir dennis langston, and completed in 1976. prince charles once compared it to a nuclear power plant. the complex was renovated for some 100000000 euros,

and while the theater is protect it, other brutal structures are in danger of demolition. what we need to be careful of is demolishing those buildings because we think that they have less value because we think that that modern and they do any protecting. but actually, it's exactly why we do need to make sure that the best examples of protected brutal isn't an architectural style that divides opinion which is definitely worth seeing for divers this, these are like unexplored museums. this was certainly the case for one french diver in 1985 off the coast of southern france, or re cost garr discovered cave paintings that were over 30000 years old. but due to the extreme difficulty of reaching the caves, the artworks remained off limits to most people. until now, we visited

a new museum where you don't need a diver certificate to enjoy them. just a few kilometers off the french coast from my st, lies a hidden archaeological treasure. in 1985 diver, all re coast care happened upon the entrance to a flooded cabin and his discovery made waves. mm hm. did. i just like to wander around it on the lookout for new places, and it was my curiosity that led me to find this hole less than 37 meters down with and one meter 20 high. will you swim through a tunnel? 175 meters and end up in a large cavern. yup. the cave is submerged and just a 3rd remains intact. good to others are under water. there are stalactites lance, to lag my that it resembles a greek temple. probably the image is

a really extraordinary measure, except so that the coasts, concave, was named off to him. it's the only known underwood's a cabin in the world with pre historic rock paintings. the 500 works of art, a 33000 years old. the time the cave entrance was far above sea level in the villa mid attorney and must say a replica of the cave was built to preserve a piece of humanity's history. ali the fury thing on board. there were many challenges do for the 1st twist, though, insisted of integrating a prehistoric cave into an existing building would do. sure. but it's a geologically very complex cave, full of stalactites and stalagmites, but with a very low seal. i mean there's yeah, backward. so we had to build a walkway to allow visitors through it on time to do all the bluff on them. the cave replica took 2 years to build and cost $24000000.00 euros. about

250 artists, scientists and crofts, people were involved. the most labor intensive part of the project was recreating artworks in intricate detail the numerous engravings and paintings by stone age. people are impressive. also from a research perspective. many of the pre historic images depict animals, especially horses, spice, and great hawks, an extinct flightless species of birds. one particularly common motif a human hands, even though mysteriously parts of fingers are often missing lip booth. there are different possible explanation that these hands with missing fingers might be expressing a sort of sign language. if we mustn't forget these people were hunter gatherers. and while on a hunting, but it's sometimes easier and safer to communicate using gestures than to yell or speak loudly to avoid scaring all hurts of animal. so,

rising sea levels have probably destroyed many of the cave paintings in the cost care cave. but the copy of this world heritage site enables visitors to experience it up close. spanning 1700 square meters. it's the 3rd smaller than the original on it does in it's a prehistoric side, it's like a miracle. good. all the scientists wouldn't say it ought to have been destroyed long ago by solidity in plastic waste and rising sea level 0. it's an extraordinary sight. i'm only, but we're probably soon going to happen. other coastal regions plagued by these problems super em up in the original cosca cave is now in nature conservation site and off limits to visitors. unfortunately, it's threatened by climate change. scientists fear these precious works of art could be completely underwater by the end of the 21st century.

we stay in southern europe for, for a summer delicacy, snails, while this time of year, the spanish city of yates goes all out for this call in airy specialty. a 3 day festival is devoted to this now, which is prepared in numerous ways in a myriad of dishes. my favorite is with garlic now whilst now might not appeal to your palate, the residence of yada, and there are 3 z as them about these small shelled creatures. might get you to change your mind. eating snails is easy. you eat them with a skewer. you stick it into the shell. that's the best part of the snail. a bit of aiyona lee, a special man as with garlic. delicious weather with ham sausages, bar and bay, yet at the biggest snell festival in the world. and yea,

thou western catalonia snails are cooked in all kinds of ways. by there are many recipes, everyone makes them their way up. during this 3 day event, 13 tons of smells are grilled, cooked, and of course eaten over $100.00 spanish smell each in clubs take part in the one headed by an a. yeah, this is named after the famed garlic mayonnaise. i already up in a club is called the i early fly. these are the flags, every club house, and each year we get a new band. we now have 26. it all started with my mother who would make home made our yardi yodi. she was really good of it. 2 and that's why we got our name on it. what if you eat snails with our yearly souls that afforded no smell dishes,

complete without garlic, onions and olive oil. but naturally, every club has its own specific recipes to day and a yobbos as serving up a classic at what's known as the app like festival. that i thought it was nails allegory, monta with onions, vegetables, bake bacon and snails, gollum, and with a shot of canyon and flour to thicken the sauce, samuel russell, the sauce, it's a real treat all mixed together. houston's down, florida's parcel from the front on club is master of the bake pan. vegetables and garlic are already sizzling inside. they must buy a yeah. with cooking peo, with snails so much. you add a bit of onions and pepper we've already prepared to meet with you put in chicken

broth and right. we call it pena. i lost him on time. yeah. mino rice from the mountaineer. yeah. i cook at the same way my mother and grandmother did, but every one has their own method with my yeah that, that la. there are 14000 club, were glee, our opinion members here, and pretty much everyone thinks their club recipe is the best that you have a season snails, otherwise they just don't taste good air. we've got cured pork chops, chicken legs, and snails are close by to bacon. rabbit and blood sausage and snails with anything else? shot of whiskey with this is a typical snail classic and lee that was hold on with just a salt oil and a dash of black pepper. maybe that's it. i some use other spices, but that drowns out the flavor of the snell. yet close of muddy of us is

a co founder of the festival in year that a city with around $135000.00 inhabitants. nowhere in the world are people as fond of snails as here. but i know now as if the tradition originated in the fields, what get people farmers had a home? are you a simple metal dish with them? and would collect snails while they worked on about a nickel fuel before lunch, indigo. they would then take a tray like this one will not let them and put the snails on it yet. i start a fire and eat them with young men. and i know been with you in 1979. i don't like the idea of a snail. festival was brought to light. this is my bounder metal from the knights of the order of the snails. nowadays, snails are bread and dedicated farms. jose marcello runs one himself near here that after the animals hatch, he releases them in

a musket when it looks in the 1st few days, we released them into lush grass. then after we 3, we feed them serial flour. ms. nails are low in calories, bat, and collateral. yet they are rich in iron grass, so they won't make you fat 0. godaddy part is the sauce you eat with us today, but not the snails themselves really. like when you see the thing good. but in you that people aren't too worried about calories at the biggest smell festival in the world. all that counts is the taste. ah. and if you want to see more reports about food restaurants and recipes from around to europe, then check out our youtube channel. here's more of what you will find there. ah, delicacies, stories. enthusiasm doesn't the smell of amazing? the best chef with their best tips, from meat dishes, to begin diet and all the recipe secrets. welcome to my well. europe's diversity is

a smorgasbord. my live, i subscribe and enjoy d. w. food. the use of gold leaf in paintings, and decorative arts and architecture dates back thousands of years. but it's becoming increasingly hard to find hand beat in gold leaf in today's day and age. and that's because this intricate method of production is a dying trade. for example, in venice, italy, in the 18th century, there were $300.00 so called gold beaters. today, however, there was only one family left there that is dedicated to this ancient tradition. ah much of what glitters here. ease, indeed gold. for centuries, venice has flaunted its wealth with this precious metal. now very few craft

men's shops are left that work gold by hand. the many got so family runs, one of the world's last gold beating shops under the name motto, barracka, becky laura gray, griffin, you don't really need that much strength for this work though it's all a question of technique. can you got your technique actually helps you work? with less effort for the mean of what the good, that's important because depending on how thin the gold is supposed to end up muted on, it'll take anywhere from 50 minutes to 2 and a half hours to hammer it out. toyota, a mazda, the purest, 24. karat gold is melted at over $1000.00 degrees celsius and cast as a small bar, which by itself has a value of about $6000.00 euros. laura crystal and lingual this little

gold bar is about 120 gramsci, depending on the thickness required of the gold leave. every month we can make 80026000 pieces from it. they need a full year 1st, the gold is passed through a rolling mill several times. pressing it thinner each time. it's rolled into a long ribbon heated, over and over and put through the mill again. with florida convey to the i city julia, the hugh tends towards rational. you know, it's an alloy. no, she sold, it might then contain silver or a little copper in go as if vega blue when the gold ribbon is several meters long, it's cut into length folded. and cut again into little squares, sought on many gods. so these, these between sheets of parchment to separate them during the beating the

volume a packet consists of 330 last, 1st there, beaten with the machine, and then quartered once more for you. and then while they're worked with a hammer over, i'm they so the rough or monkey let out both of them on the final step is the hammering. this is how gold leaf was made in venice a 1000 years ago. at that time, there were no machines to help with the heavy work crystal or that is a hammer weighs 2 kilos. almost nothing with them or then this one weighs more kilos, so it's a bit heavier. but for me that's nothing recently there and it ain't halos. well this one's pretty heavy to be the hammering produces thousands of these gossamer leaves. a single leaf wave barely as much as a hare. ellia nora men, a god so hopes, this age old craft may be passed on to the next generation own base. oh, it's a great responsibility because this very special work is in danger of dying out. and that's not

a nice thought that this could one day just be forgotten for mileage. the weird paints. attic air force su out. bad that in art restorer and gilder elizabeth, the mass on uses a great deal of mario barry thought, but the laura's gold leaf in her workshop it takes a steady hand and the right conditions to work with this delicate material. even a gentle breeze could ruin everything. shimoda the fittings set, the difference between industrially produced and hand made gold leaf is enormous, would've been the industrial gold leaf is much thinner and more fragile. though, philip, it's really hard to do good work with the leaf tears easily and in the end, it just doesn't look as good as the hand made gold leaf. it isn't that the finale ankin 80 saying that the angel a top st. mark's company lay is among the works restored using gold leaf for mario

. better about the logo. thanks to an age old handicraft. the queen of the adrie attic shines on ah, freedom of expression and the ability to access information at any time without restriction is now possible here in germany. but of course, that wasn't always the case in order to demonstrate what it's like to live in places where these freedoms are limited. a team from d, w developed a game called freedom, isn't free. you can play it directly on your smartphone. and this is how it works. freedom isn't free, is a game that plays in an alternate reality which germany has become a police state after a massive power blackout. mia, a civil liberties activist has vanished play as receive a call for help that bask finding your friend mia. she's missing after researching

a murder case in berlin. the concept for this project, by deutsch bella, was to inform about topics such as oppression and human rights in a novel into active way, but it unavailable. if you do, many people working at deutsch, vela have experienced living in an oppressive regime, fighting and they shared these with the project into in a game format. to con, you can transmit such an experience in a more intense way because the players contribute to the action interactively, long which makes it more immersive e d. m. as you want few sequences to try to find out what happened plays, communicate with a chat, thought named alissa on walks apple telegram. they send text messages to help solve the mystery and do research online. since the internet is mostly of limits to alyssa. if one day it's kind of hit a, we didn't want to have an educational game that provides learning content directly

really. but to have that happen more subliminally. in the conversation, you discovered that alyssa is the person you're chatting with. chip can't look for news articles and search engines was that she's in constant fear of being monitor inefficient that she's afraid of the police watching her what it is. so that subtly puts across what it's like to live under a repressive regime, dose valley permitted. but how do you turn an idea into a game? the d w t brought in gaming experts from d hiv game hub at berlin's university of applied sciences. they developed the game design and how to program the chap bots. ready the software uses artificial intelligence to interpret the plays in. so the interaction with a list of the chap bought fuses natural as possible. ah. in this case, the immersion is very strong because it closely resembles using a mobile phone. it will be you chat every day. so it's part of daily life,

and i think that's what's interesting about this project funded the message. i slips into this every day activity. i'm taking something you do all the time. but bringing you to a totally different situation. got a totally different narrative and different settings. that's what makes this approach so exciting and fascinating fun. the freedom isn't free project shows just how vital access to free information really is. but in a playful way. and if you want to learn about how to access restricted media around the globe, then check out our uncensored collection. not only does it look pretty cool, each piece comes with a special label containing specific instructions. just head over to our website to find out more. as always, thanks for tuning in. and we'll see again, soup with,
