I still have to pay for electricity water and insurance even if my door stay closed or. 36 year old fernando knows hes not the only one with these problems its not just the pilgrims that are staying home to islam in general its grinding to a halt. As a bit weve already missed one of the most important months of the year in this summer will be the same. Tourism is so important for spain but this year tourism is deadly. Spain cities should be bustling with life this time of year now they look more like ghost towns normally tourists from all over europe would be celebrating this spring holiday in spain sunny beaches its spanish cuisine and sangria and spring isnt even the peak season. One Louis Fernandez fears the worst is yet to come if tourists from germany britain and france stay away this year they might not be any Summer Holiday business at all. Not at all going to show me one that will probably not only do we not know when we can reopen our restaurants again we also dont know how we would do so do we need to reduce the amount of tables to ensure enough distance between guests weve hardly got any room to begin with. This is going to cost us more jobs than your body was going to put it off or what if it is. Susan is the driving force for spains economy this is what it looked like a year ago moving 18000000 to versus just a one in 10 jobs a part of the Hospitality Industry after years of record breaking numbers of 2 arrests florentine nothing good also. Animist of the university of all now believes spain is facing a serious crisis. If it does this by next year but the virus hit spain especially hard. Thats damaged the countrys image so tourists might be wary of coming to visit the governors conference and base private workers but we could only hope to get it under control soon so that people will want to come visit spain again in the long. Run. Less tourism has gone back significantly juta the compound pandemic even the way of some chains which in past years was like a pilgrims mine therof it is empty today. Not gonna get the from you so ca should have friends of the Community Santiago sees an opportunity in the crisis he wants to renew the way of some jams and turn it into a route for sustainable tourism. Is the moment we can use this opportunity now about what kind of way of st james we want. You know we want to maintain the original pilgrimage route or let it become what some are taken to calling it an amusement park. There but. For now most innkeepers are simply struggling to survive while still on a victim of relies on the pilgrims that come from over the world he actually wanted to expand his business and i just bought a 2nd house he was planning to turn into a hostel. I wanted to use by savings to renovate. This is that instead of im using you just to make ends meet or whatever form. I recently took out a loan. Now only to pay back the bills. That i can forget about renovation works any time soon whatever the course says but ive looked after. Him so for ground 0 has had to put his dreams back in the shit hes even considering moving back to pregnancy or to resume with tradition he doesnt see much teaching in tombs. While all the people in spain are hoping for a visit from abroad romanians are trying to keep them at bay some fear that their fellow citizens would seize on the jobs in other e. U. Countries could import the new coronavirus some politicians are taking strict measures to prevent people from gathering in public spaces all in efforts to contain the spread of the virus but this move is making life for villagers and farmers like all go for cash very heart like many others the romanian village of arcata has been on lockdown since mid march its residents are only allowed out of their houses with official permission small farmer olga for akash has received official permission but she still cant sell her produce. I have to think of this that was my autumn harvest each even spring i would make good money from that excited to see that infesting i mustnt lease heads of cabbage and was so lovely with the whole thing called. For costs usually sells for cabbage in the little town of me or korea neeraj really were many residents belong to remain as hungary and minority but the Farmers Market has been shuttered since mid march for fear of the coronavirus in spite of remaining government pleas to keep the markets open. They wanted to ensure the availability of affordable produce as well as an income for Small Farmers but mare shand are taught how the market closed down anyway with Migrant Workers returning from western europe unable to find work in the crisis mare top was worried they could bring back the virus and spread it all but the little girl every wednesday people from our region got through this Farmers Markets because this virus spreads easily through crowds so we closed it immediately without any specific directive from the government warning that they should work there was a little be also to be just like it done the talking if we hadnt im sure the people returning from the ground would have thrown around their money and partied with their friends there we wanted to shoot them down which are just a stomach look at only. About one 5th of the 1000. 00 no young romanians including many roma work in other e. U. Countries so far about 1000000. 00 of them have returned home with no work subjecting an already weak economy to additional strain. Several 100 Migrant Workers have returned to me a korea neeraj to. The mayor wants to show that hes taking action and demonstrate that hes got everything under control. Youre going in there to we already ordered a ventilator in the 16th of march so dots in an emergency nobody would have to go to city they could receive treatment right here in town. And we bought a disinfection gate which the nursing home and Health Care Employees at the local hospital have to pass through the book. The coronavirus has completely derailed before cautious life shes only allowed to sell or produce in a complex of tenement blocks but business is slow to say the least i met him in november at nicaea here in catalonia people had a lot out of their houses and im just wasting my time here and its tough for everyone at the moment i knew a few people in the surrounding apartment block spy things anyone living further away doesnt even know im here them to get what you like and diprivan is what this little square plot to sum up products but the real market is closed. And if they can use a logic quantities. And they have a machine and i dont know what to do so. Well here weve got no money will starve even so we need to keep working at work where most of the factories are closed on the fields there the wind blows the virus away. So far the region has lost 40 inhabitants to the coronavirus but the hospital in new york korea and iraq really has not seen one khurana patient so far dr cardio shanteau supports the mayors measures. Be i thought. He made the right decision. A mass gathering like the weekly market would have spread the virus very quickly. This way the possibility of infection has been minimized. I think people have understood and accepted that to go along with me. After weathering 2 months of the run a lockdown measures in our hometown all those reaching the end of her rope todays earnings are barely enough for a few bottles of water and shes not alone most people in the region are farmers they all face the same problems now. Up until now all grown her family were able to get by with their vegetables and chickens. The family has no other source of income. Hope she might be able to sell her freshly planted a plants at the market the summer dont assess the recession and the man completely i think reacted why will markets allowed to open everywhere else but not here i need to be able to send my fish to points of groceries are essential people need to eat were not the only ones who people returning home for me would be proud of them check. Compared to other european states romania has reported quite a few corona related deaths but many here are struggling with the economic backlash of the pandemic 75 years ago the 2nd world war came to an end and this marked the end of years of tara and persecution for millions of jews some were only able to escape death at a concentration camp because none jewish neighbors or friends sheltered them. Survived the holocaust by hiding at the home of one family in berlin after the war she turned her back on germany and moved to paris but to this day her family and that of her rescuers remain friends. I honeybees for like a practicing jew she was a trooper then or hard. She passed away in 2019 age 95 it was close to a miracle the honey survived the nazi period as a young girl she had underground in the german capital berlin she was supported by a network of non jewish friends today her son rene because her tales after surviving the war she raised him in paris total nothing but one day the kostopoulos knocked at her door itself feels my mother didnt open through us she ran for her life. You know she went through the neighbors flats and even bumped into one of the gestapo men sent to arrest her a she fled downstairs. Outside some non jewish friends came to her aid this is normally 5. Years later honey levy published an autobiography honoring the Unsung Heroes who protected her. In one chapter she recounts the day she fled her home. Just 1000 years old with nothing but the clothes on her back ready. In my now no desperate i turn to one of my new acquaintance and this is called. I had met her at a small cinema where she worked and had visited her several times before. Of course mrs coulter was shocked when i told her about my situation she told her husband and was quick to promise she would protect me i felt sure she would never turn me in been doing father. Army spent the next 18 months of her life hiding here in this courtyard and burned them showing her back. She had a fake id and dyed her hair blond to appear area and. The cultures were hardly levys main lifeline but they werent the only ones to help. Them there or see it ive been in several other families also took her in. Some found hiding places for her others brought her groceries. Leave on. A memorial plaque outside the culture home and burn the National Bird now honors the couple for their deaves and he was happy to return to berlin when it was unveiled several years ago. Then yes im struggling to find the right words. Above all i want to thank this incredible household community. There werent many of these silent helpers among the mass of nazi followers but they proved that resistance was in fact possible. More than 6000 jews hit underground in berlin. Only one in 4 survived. Berlins German Resistance Memorial Center has dedicated an entire exhibition floor to those who were prosecuted and those who helped them. It shines a light on ordinary people not the well known resistance fighters individuals who risked their lives to save their friends and neighbors historians have documented hundreds of stories like that of honey levy. And the most Important Message for me. Which we can give to young people in future is to show that people have a troyes that they can decide on which side they want to act and they have this joy is also under dictatorship. They headed. Nazi rule but a truth they had to decide what they want to door and what they want to be people have a choice after the war on the levy moved to paris her son rene tells us that although the nazis murdered several of his family members he feels no hatred towards germans that he says is the next to his mother she in the culture family remained close through the years. My math course you are supposed cause when i was just 6 months old my mother took me to berlin to introduce me to the concerts plays on. The way through this culture was like a mother to her needs met them codes and the course she even called her beauty or movement and the play that you are a moment from would deep call a new era for you one sunday when i got my me to 1975 all the concert family members who were still alive who came to our wedding some of the new and the money ours. When a says the actions of the culture family made clear that amid the unspeakable nazi horror and bloodshed at the time some in germany managed to keep their compassion and humanity. Many of us have collected stuff in our base mans and our addicts that we know we will no longer use of but dont want to throw away just yet a company in sweden had a great idea of how to give such items a 2nd life they opened of the worlds 1st recycling Shopping Center and a vast not all across sweden people can visit special auctions to buy or sell stuff these auctions have a long tradition and a short to make a comeback after the corona crisis is over. In the Community Hall at the village of tuna northeast of groups one of swedens most cherished traditions comes to light old news knick knacks are sold at an auction off the field in sweden nobody likes wasting anything that is still in perfectly good shape. Of a tin of the evil auctioneer Christiane Vogler has plenty of odd wares on offer and all of them are useful somehow he sees to that himself. Whenever a household is dissolved christiane buys up the items that would otherwise have gone into the trash and fix them up to sell the few in the here you can buy things fairly cheaply there are good things that last but also the in the living room suite back there for instance. It cost about 80 euros and films that with the people who need to swedes objects with a story to tell are like treasures theres hardly anything that someone else would like to give a new home. What anybody would want with an old delight a surveyors instrument only the buyer knows but its as much in demand as a box full of toys. Is one of the betters today is her lucky day it is sold a box full of old dolls for about 20 euro. Thank you really. I simply had to have it so i just kept on bidding. The auction is a fun way to hunt for useful trinkets for small prices have a little bit can go a long way the guiding principle reduce reuse recycle more and more people in sweden are coming round to the bidders way of thinking. Sustainability is becoming a way of life and a smashing new business model. A few years ago one of the worlds 1st recycling malls opened in escalus to now 2 floors jam packed with furniture clothes books and most anything else imaginable. And its all 2nd hand donated by its previous owner. Is in charge of electronics. Everyone who comes here they have no objective they come here to save the environment and help others to make some money like the rich want to hear and go through the retail it wont work with all this would all be just on the old like responsibility. These old t. V. Sets computers and telephones are headed not for the junky but the repair shop and they come out almost as good as new its a win win operation with the environment as the biggest winner at. The recycling Department Store pays off financially as well all the participating retailers together say they had over 1000000 euros in revenues and 21000. And customer figures are on the rise too. Theres something for almost every one. 3rd of both of us for the sound most i love this kind of look at this record player a book called whiskey. And after the shops close in the recycling Department Store the events and courses begin. Workshops teach how to refurbish old things and make paper are objects from old books or jewelry from bottle caps. Were definitely a part in challenging the. Concept of what is. Also challenging the concept of that even if we do our part even if were apart in a consumer culture or. What we consume also makes a huge difference. What impact it has on the environment. In the meantime the auction in tuna is winding down. Thats one of the final lots on the block. If you will from an old tea service like this is almost certain to find a buyer. While the buyers rush home with their treasures the auctioneer tallies up the sales of the day. The auction today turned a handsome profit. In sweden we like 2nd hand things we ship it to us theres something very special at the in this value of all European Countries but im sure here is where this movement a strong just. But maybe the swedes love for 2nd hand to spread to the rest of europe as well after all just because something is old doesnt mean its not still handy and sustainable shopping is becoming an ever stronger imperative not just in the far north. The cold bit in 1000 outbreak has a forest many people into isolation while some are fighting boredom at home others of like brood niat.
