9:02 pm
up, i'm laura blah, blah. welcome to the show. britain's health care sector is in a state of crisis. millions of patients are on waiting lists with the publicly funded national health service or n h s. care workers are overwhelmed. the low wages and high stress levels have led to an exodus of professionals in the sector. many blame the former conservative administration policy experts say they failed to adequately fund the system. during their 14 years in power, the new labor government has vowed to fix the image. yes. but that could take years and 2 year old delilah needs health. now. her mother fears the delay will effect. do i lose development? young. a lot of hassle. getting her daughter to eat as a test of patients for chloe therapy. sure. do you wrote delilah usually spits everything out in time ever since she was born,
9:03 pm
delilah has avoided eating solid food. she doesn't particularly 8 any food like as useful. she the, i need food, i'd say she eats a little bit all these chase, and i mean this is how much is in that ball that i offer. and that doesn't even get a and in a dies. chloe has tried everything. well, other toddlers, her age are long used to eating normally, meals delilah will only drink from the bottle. her mother suspects eating disorder linked to autism, but she's not in your family. doctors haven't been able to help. and chloe's been waiting 6 months for an appointment with a specialist. every single thoughts off professional though i say that a lot, you know, i've never come across the case either. so you not, i don't really know what to do. so then it's not, it was it. so they now should be same last question is within a certain amount of time because it's none of them come across. it tells me it's
9:04 pm
not unique or it's out there that it's not just going to resolve itself. over 6000000 british patients have been waiting months or even years for an appointment with a specialist. for years, the former conservative government spent less on the health care system than comparable european countries. that was one of the big issues in the election at the beginning of july, this year. andrew myers and as an emergency doctor, he says the situation many hospitals reach breaking point long ago. so emergency care is awful for clinicians for patients. we're seeing patients that have to sit in our waiting room stuff to sit in the carters waiting for care of people that are dying on the back services waiting to be brought in, say any dying in inside a or any departments? i fortunately work it, it was a quite a good hospital where we don't see a lot of that. but just knowing that that existence, so many different places and somebody from hospitals across this country is,
9:05 pm
is just, it's devastating doctors and nurses are leaving around 100000 posts in england are unfilled. the professionals are attracted to careers abroad with better pay in working conditions. many of those who stay can't cope with the pressure and suffer physically and mentally. we're seeing record numbers of our colleagues having mental health crises, taking time off of work because of mental crises. and i've been to the memorial services of, of colleagues who have killed themselves because their work is just far too difficult. and they, they took too much for them. and that's, that's awful to deal with. the doctors and nurses going straight due to poor working conditions, which then leads to even worse patient care. the new labor government has promised more money sort of waiting times and new stuff where the health care sector. that's urgently needed, says meyerson mean need to fill the hole. that was, that was left by the less of the we need more hospital that's within the inner
9:06 pm
chest. we lost 25000 the last decade we need, we need to stop the steps. hemorrhage, we need to stop losing $20000.00 doctors every year for to 1000 nurses. and we need to solve the sofa car prices because if we take a patients out of hospitals, we're wasting billions there. and then we're providing terrible care. about 10 a month. chloe kirby sure agrees. there's no way things can stay as they are. well, she's worried about her daughter's future. so the to gain weight in this for a child is just wrong. it's not like it's a routine appointment like, oh, you know, it's just, it's, it's, uh it's, it's a serious thing. what she's going to be 5, what she's going to be putting in school because she can only have formula. right? so far, all her mother's efforts to shorten this long wait has been anything the a mass protest and calls for quotas residence on the spanish
9:07 pm
islands may orca, are fighting back against over tourism. calls for crowd controls are also happening . other european nations travel is booming after the pandemic. but for residents and tourism hotspots, there's little cause for celebration. housing shortage is a soaring rent prices and pollution are fueling ad t tourism sentiment. spain is also trying to climb down on rowdy behavior in places like fly, a diploma authorities have bound the public consumption of alcohol in certain areas . still, some locals feel that not enough is being done to address the problem. it's party time in my orca. tens of thousands of tourists, mostly germans, are letting their hair down on the fly, a diploma. much to the annoyance of neighbors like luis, as we'll call him to keep him anonymous. he lived here for 25 years. i can be
9:08 pm
of the people tourism is totally changed to the law. it's just one big drinking spree. so we feel powerless with me. i have to sleep with earplugs because it's so loud i pulled on which the did blame for the night out is in plain sight. empty bottles, thames, despite the regional governments cracked down on several of the islands party zones, fly, a diploma has banded drinking on the street or the beach with fines ranging up to 1500 zeroes. and shops that sell alcohol must close at 9 30 pm. even cargo know, and we go past qual, i'm fighting for the new rules to be enforced. they live in the party zone and have joined the neighborhood association to deal with it. the good this place is like a theme park. when the tourists are out on the town, they come lurching through the neighborhood this fall down for
9:09 pm
a while urinating the street all along. everyone does one on the daughter. yeah. here's the problem. i. the government has to start capitalizing the shops of the don't stick to the sales hours or if it's in a good, is that right? that's the, that's an example of the crap we'd have to put up with have germans in my family, myself and i'm ashamed of this behavior. and that if somebody at the party starts in broad daylight to the tourist, it's pre drinking at the beach, even though they've heard about the alcohol being the zone. so for us, it's just a classic drinking holiday. it's a shame not being allowed to drink on the beach. right now. saw the phones. so it was, yeah, let's buy some wine shafts on the beach somewhere to drink. but we're not actually allowed to do that. and then we just bought some bottles and told them to sell it and you stayed with them, but i still see people consuming
9:10 pm
a lot of alcohol here and personally, i don't see much of a police presence yet. so then it's on the screen with because he's done this with them in the neighborhood association is disappointed with the authorities. the noise from the party tourist isn't limited to the street. the fiesta continues on hotel balcony. and in the apartment blocks, because more and more flats are being rented out to tourist i for you, let's go to the terminal. we've been hearing that the problems being dealt with for years. now the problem remains and nobody really wants to do anything because the tourism brings in money because we made several requests in writing and by phone to the regional government of the valley. eric islands of which my york is the largest, but we weren't given an interview nor any information. the beatrice cheek ardini runs a german restaurant. she's lived on my yorker for 50 years. now. she's a scene of the behavior of many torres. i'm sense of the change in the atmosphere
9:11 pm
between foreigners and local. i know they used to feel like a 4 and a half a now over the last few years, i really all treated like a 4 and the one honestly speaking, how sick they found it. well, i've bloomed have so i must be a tourist now because many hotel operators are worried to the chairman of a local hotel association. pedro many has been fighting for years to increase hotel quality and width prices. they're also trying to deter party taurus by imposing a minimum length of stay. you know, so that's just us as board source and by the only use it for it, so to attract respectable tourists are not enough that i think you have to sensitize people in their country of origin. and one thing that they should comment enjoy the benefits that we share with this stuff and not just claim it for themselves because she and then we all have to treat it with karen and we'll stick with that. and the local population may well start spinning out if something is it
9:12 pm
done soon. the we no longer wants to put up with the noise. is equal those to see if it stays like this or gets worse. i need a plan b or i'll have to move away with them. but again, i've already thought about moving into my mother's flag on me telling me, model is more residents follow his example, the party zone apply a diploma will soon be completely in the hands of taurus. it's the lightest metal on earth. and one of the most sought after lithium is a key component for powering electric vehicles. and for the transition towards net 0 emissions, serbia is home to vast deposits of lithium, located in the outer valley, but plans to extract it are being met with resistance. in recent weeks, tens of thousands turned out to protest against plans to build a mine. they believe extracting lithium,
9:13 pm
it will contaminate the land and water supply. maria olympus and her family have lived in the valley for generations. and despite assurances from authorities and the mining company, she fears the project will ruin their way of life. this part is gone. you need a lead in serbia as a yard, our valley has become a ghost town. the people are gone. the houses will soon be making way for a lithium mine. they were bought up by the british australian rio tinto group for its mining operations. the lithium deposits here are thought to be the largest in europe. as in an orchard, not far from the ghost town. laneesa, maria, and her father, monkey lo taste, this year's plums. she's the 13th generation of her family to live here. all this time nobody gave this remote area. a 2nd thought that changed when lithium was found. since then, this obscure valley has become an object of desire. it was kind of the free area
9:14 pm
$33030.00 is you like to call the field today? because no techs, no jim is every serially and it's so even today, even though didn't seem to manage to buy all some lines in the, all that i'm all in here in the mountains. they didn't buy anything. they didn't even manage to finish the reset. but the father and daughter did and learned that the plans mine and slack he would come within a 100 meters of their land. a few years ago, mom, she low spot of the 1st exploratory drill holes nearby. they refused to sell their land and hope other local residents won't either. a mine would change everything. here. name was you. what would you say it wouldn't be and there wouldn't be no more life here of world, right underneath the plan line, dummy or bountiful underground spring. so that keep our village on you and many neighboring villages, supply go with water with so you know,
9:15 pm
because over me score the lithium mind controversy has reached most needs to the regions. biggest city, a protest, billboard on the roadside says no to the mine. yes. to life re a tend to runs and info center in town, but nobody seems to want to talk openly about it. the many here are afraid the mining operation might contaminate the water supply or the drain, a river the at rio 10 toes offices in serbia as capital belgrade manager murray, auntie by beach, is doing what you can to make sure. lithium mining can begin. as soon as possible the you and in particular germany and it's car manufacturers are keenly interested in the lithium from the younger valley. $650.00 um promotional video to fix the planned mine as a clean and modern showcase project never wherever you can. investments of 2 and
9:16 pm
a half 1000000000 euros, the mining underground. ok, and enough lithium for 1000000 electric cars and thousands of well paid jobs for me . opponents are spreading false information according to bob beach. everyone that's we encourage everyone to actually learn about the fact and not the extra and the trust, everything that everyone says about the project. as to our communication, i have to say we could have communicated further in a more layman's terms, to be very honest. we are a technical company, so we communicate in technical terms, back to maria and pitch for personal reasons for protecting against the lithium mine. so persistently is right here on our property or families cemetery. my great grandfather is in great grandfather's the themselves. these lines, even in the car this times of their lives. so why would i do this now? you know, on the 3rd thing, generation of the owner of, of this one. so we cannot set that,
9:17 pm
that simply not the question come to discuss that. it's a no, no means no. maria is determined to preserve what she can of her ancestors legacy. facing our own mortality is a subject that's too overwhelming for many to look death in the eye and take stock of one's life requires courage. and at times a helping hand sabrina girl, it's guides, terminally ill, people through the final phase of their lives. she helps people like using the google to come to terms with the past and present through story telling. it's a process that allows patients to reflect on all that has transpired during their time on earth and gives their loved ones a sense of closure. traveling between heaven and certainly not good. it's is on her way to the next life story. the 43 year old needs people shortly before the death to look back. one last time
