a bustling commercial street lots of souvenir shops knock shops tourists who visit beijing usually come to spend time here today i'm the only one. every day human interaction has become suspicious this shop asked its customers to stay outside and communicate their needs from the outside. some pharmacies take this same approach everyone is wary. because the younger it's a national emergency we stand together. standing together should not be taken literally residential complexes keep strangers out in this compound visitors have to register with their id the guards look for the place of birth who are overweight people can't get any even if they live here they'll be quarantined the. people from who province where the virus originated are to be isolated in this hotel discrimination against them is not. ramp. at the entrance to the subway system

a mandatory temperature inside the same site as everywhere in the city lots of space. trains are running as usual it's the passengers walk. beijing has reported less than $300.00 cases so far but fear here has spread much faster than the virus ever cooked. anti semitism is gaining traction around the world in the united states attacks on jews are on the rise especially hard hit are forced to docks communities like the one in for a claim. the. this is a tense time for the city jews of crown heights a neighborhood in new york spiraled brooklyn. your community has become the target of an increased number of attacks in recent months. now there's more police on the

streets protecting synagogues and other jewish institutions. firestone and his friends are students at a local yeshiva a jewish religious school anti semitism is always been an issue in this ethnically diverse neighborhood but the recent string of attacks has hit uncomfortably close to home. actress on someone threw a chair at someone else or screaming kill jews there's different attacks i have someone that pointed a gun out so in that that i have friends i got punched by the middle center of crown heights where everyone walks. they say they're not afraid but the attacks has made them more wary they want to walk by herself specially at night. just yet i'm saying obviously because of the increase of the fear in the community because

of the recent attacks. for the family the added that if caution added the feeling that you know you have to be more careful often orthodox jews become targets of anti semitic hate crimes because they're doing this is plainly visible. but it's not only the orthodox community that's feeling uneasy they all feldman is jewish too and as with many of new york's jews you can't really tell from his lips born in israel he's been in the u.s. since the age of 3 now lives in manhattan she to me says the mood in the community has changed since the attacks people are talking about getting armed and carrying guns mace weapons learning self-defense worry wasn't even a subject for. roughly one in 8 new york city residents is jewish for centuries new york has been a refuge for jews from all over the world the sources of these recent cases and

a kayaks here in the united states are multiple. they're not all coming from white supremacists or white nationalist they're also coming from street attacks york. by young african-americans they're coming from black hebrews what seems to be constant is the sense that there's a copycat phenomenon now it's become sort of more involved. to go after jews who are right that the fireball on the streets. back in training heights grayness friends they will back down they trust that you hate this stronger in the hatred of their it tempers. tomatoes could be going as red gold the country soil is fertile but many of ghana's tomato factories are standing idle and evermore farmers are giving up their land.

benedicta everything is a tomato farmer into badon and ghana central farming region. she grows tomatoes on about i think there of land but even though the harvests are good she's barely getting by. will they be asked we've had to buy water every day for about one and a half months that'll continue until the rainy season starts we have lots of problems that's why it's so hard to survive in ghana at the moment. because all of the domestic tomato processing plants have stopped production then india and other farmers are only able to sell to the so-called market queens dealers who resell the tomatoes in other cities there's an oversupply in the high season and so the prices drop to almost nothing must have finished next 2 weeks ago we sold these crates for twice as much. if there's no demand like today and we farm a smaller less just give the crates away. we sell them at any price. i might be

honest we got. into the clinic financial difficulties led benedict as husband to go to europe where he works as a farm laborer in italy he's able to send money home every month to provide for his family and pay his children's tuition. many gun hands and other africans have ended up in southern italy the tomatoes that grow here are canned and mainly sold abroad including to ghana the men work for low wages few of them are working legally with permits criminal middlemen take advantage of the situation. but if it's for these crates you get 3 euros 50 or 4 for such a huge crate. were to come from coca-cola you know. that. even if they work hard for morning until night the men receive at most 20 to 30 euros a day. who are no one in africa would believe how we work here.

abandoned houses huts and tents in the middle of fields where there is no water no plumbing no power or heating the farmhands live here and many have done so for several years no real life to help our family. without. they only have cell phone contact with the relatives benedicta hasn't seen her husband for a long time. even so she's glad he went to europe. almost immediately thanks to the money we have a roof over our heads and can continue to build i have spit bite that if he were here it would be very hard for us i'm happy that people leave and seek going up hostages. the tomato farmer frequently sees young men carrying backpacks she

knows that the next group of gun ins are on their way north. to. the garment industry puts out more c o 2 than anything ation and mercantile shipping together so environmentalists are touting swap meets and secondhand markets. beautiful commute knows the ok side of fast fashion all too well and doesn't want to be a part of a tell me more she's a textiles expert at environmental organization greenpeace and hasn't bought a new item of clothing for 10 years. she buy 2nd hand or exchanges close with others a clothing swap parties everyone brings a few garments and takes a few home for themselves. to cutting my hair i can take something on a whim without harming the environment because the closer for deeper morning if i

and even clothing that's glued rather than citing. some garments made entirely out of plastic. the industry is demanding fast and cheap production. not through. cut through someone's probably count kill a tip that it won't be worn for more than a year or 2 anyway the consumer will want something new by them. so that's probably how they approach making the garments stop the. second time to spend around for a long time but in the past he often had to rummage around in stocks of clothing to find something suitable. the only things that's changing online platforms and specialist 2nd home stores are on the rise i don't stop because i missed the top i need to be suitable for every day shopping the alternatives to consumerism need to be easy if i have a days for an interview and i want something different i need to be able to get it without buying something new. despite not buying new clothes for 10 years the all
