a lot of the protest movement has let me move forward and become a positive. and see how much i am that if i missed this i wouldn't have another chance to experience all of it. caught up that's why it's so important that i'm here. day one that i saw even the president to join a little less a risks a lot by protesting she was already arrested ones 3 months ago and still awaits trial prospects were dim further if she's detained again. the protest movement includes all walks of society but the young not the most committed competitive school exams a race for the best universities and a tough job market in one of the most expensive cities in the world on comes you face a lot of pressure. l.s.a. 16 she has struggled for years with anxiety and depression that she blames mainly on pressure in school hosts she. kill. the movement procol aims

my life child like. so it made me feel my life has meaning for the hero he. since her arrest her anxiety has returned. although she says she hasn't been violent being at the site of clashes was enough for a writing charge she faces 10 years in jail. at the beginning the march stays peaceful but suddenly the mood shift i was hired to tear gas in one try please move slowly i thought 20 protesters leave this scene by the front line us confront the police unless it is in the d. level she wants to support the frontline protesters she knows what's at stake. nevertheless she decides to take a look but to get out as soon as it gets tense. released round up the record number

of people 400 all together but the lesson is not so much. for months demonstrators are taking to the streets in colombia their demands include major improvements in the health care system the situation has gotten so bad in the capital it's almost impossible for people who are seriously ill to see a doctor. one manuel loves working at the hospital he likes to take his time with patients making sure they feel safe and that they understand their conditions and treatments but doing the job with such dedication has become increasingly difficult for many people is working and colombian health care is. the what though one out of 4 health care professionals are unhappy here. in philly says. that the one of our system shortcomings is the pay that physicians receive calls and some of them have to work $2.00 or 3 jobs to make ends meet.

but overworked and underpaid doctors and nurses aren't the only ones feeling let down by colombia's health care system even in the capital where there are plenty of hospitals and clinics patients are finding it impossible to get even the most urgent appointments. i call the hospital every day but they don't have time for me because i tell them please i suffer from multiple sclerosis i need special treatment they never have time. to give you an appointment after one or even 3 months it's horrible healthcare service here is awful. such problems are related to structural weaknesses colombia's health care system is dominated by private insurance companies numerous of these intermediaries between patients and doctors have had the headlines for embezzlement and corruption the president of the medical association says it was their grief that caused the system to implode.

isn't fair says it is like the less services these companies provide the moment they make so the insurance company denies treatments or takes a long time to authorize them allowing the patient's condition to deteriorate with even refused to cover therapy altogether. necessary treatments denied without explanation it almost destroyed this young woman's family her brother had alarming symptoms but his doctors weren't allowed to run the tests they needed to diagnose him time to visit the mrs but it took his insurance companies 7 months to authorize the cuts from january until august when they finally got the results i saw he had a brain tumor. and in the end when we found out he had a chair he's already lost his hearing and suffered irreversible brain damage. marianna is a nurse or self and has been participating in the protests suffering from the

health care systems shortcomings as a patient and a professional she urges her fellow colombians to keep fighting for change. i will be. and i'm confident there will be change some day maybe not exactly how we wanted to be that would be perfect i don't believe thoughts going to happen but some kind of change no matter how small for the time being it doesn't look like the government will heed people's calls but in the waiting room and on the streets colombians have run out of patients. by 2030 an estimated 4000000 people in germany will require long term medical care but there aren't enough doctors nurses and other professionals to deal with this situation medical trainees from vietnam might help ease the shortage.

it's monday morning in the neurological ward at the rostock university hospital. where the 2 apprentices to do an t. quinn are helping a patient. both have already completed training as nurses in their home country of vietnam nevertheless much is new to them. and i asked them. during my training in vietnam i gave injections or i put in drips. but washing patients or giving them food that was done by other workers. in germany the nurses to perform these tasks therefore trainees from vietnam have to complete the full 3 year training program once again. well. so the us economy. the student nurses are prepared for the german system as part of the training program in their home country still it's not easy for the 2 women.

that got us because. it's a very different dialect than the one i've learned. there are many words i don't know and i'm just learning i had a lot of difficulties at the beginning. riverside. $300.00 vietnamese trainees have come to germany under the economics ministry scheme to be enemies apprentices are welcome after all they bring a lot of experience with them. but it challenges the mentality words like yes and no don't have the same meaning in vietnam as they do in germany. co-workers have adjusted to this after all they are workers from over 40 nations in the clinic. as we have learned that here in the nurses station we have on gary ns we have people from bosnia we have macedonians we

have one person from syria so it's very very dim colorful here on the nurses' station here. that. currently the last batch of the program is finishing up the 1st year of training in future clinics will have to arrange the employment of vietnamese workers themselves. and finally we travel to russia which is always produced some of the world's finest ballet dancers we need one young man who finally made it onto the big stage through talent and discipline and a lot of hard work. in the class schedule it's called dance classical dance. ringback but in reality it's work simulants in your nerves getting ready for his big performance in the nutcracker in the christmas ballet. he dances every morning for hours but it being a ballet dance is beautiful but exhausting then after that especially if you come
