a few people have come out to take in this spectacle but getting inside is out of the question just like almost all public facilities beijing's most famous historic site remains closed i think it's good that the government took these measures we support them we'd appreciate even struck to measure his. business activity has largely come to a halt across much of the capital this is usually a bustling commercial street lots of souvenir shops not shops tourists who visit beijing usually come to spend time here today and the only one. every day human interaction has become suspicious this shop ask its customers to stay outside and communicate their needs from the outside. some pharmacies take the same approach everyone is wearing. because the younger it's

a national emergency we stand together when i'm 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. people from who by a province where the virus originated are to be isolated in this hotel discrimination against them is now rampant. 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 who are. beijing has reported less than $300.00 cases so far but fear here has spread much faster than the virus ever could.

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 box communities like the one in for a claim. this is a tense time for the city jews of crown heights a neighborhood in new york spiraled brooklyn. 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 were 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. the actress on someone threw

a chair at someone else or screaming kill jews there's different attacks that have a son that pointed a gun out so in that put out i have friend i got punched by the middle center of crown heights where everyone walks. they say they're not afraid but the attacks have made them more wary when i walk by herself specially at night. just yet thing obviously because of the increase of the fear in the community because of the we should tax. the family the added the added caution added a feeling that you know you have to be more careful often want to gets jews become targets of anti semitic hate crimes because they're jewish and his is plainly visible. but it's not only the orthodox community that's feeling uneasy l. feldman is jewish too and as with many of new york's jews you can't really tell from his looks born in israel he's been in the u.s. since the age of 3 l.

is in manhattan here too he says the mood in the community has changed since the attacks. people are talking about getting armed and carrying guns 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 at least some of the capex here in the united states are multiple but they're not all coming from white supremacists or white nationalists they're also coming from street attacks york. by young african-americans they're coming from black hebrews what seems to be constant is a sense that there's a copycat phenomenon now it's become sort of more involved. to go after jews who are identifiable on the streets. back in town hates really his friends say they

will back down they trust that you think this stronger than he treated there it tempers. tomatoes could be gone on this red gold the country soil is for a time but many of us tomato factories are standing idle and evermore farmers are giving up their land. benedict afraid is a tomato farmer into boddam and ghana central farming region. she grows tomatoes on about i think they're of land but even on the harvests are good she's barely getting by would. they be asked of 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 the moment yeah. because all of the

domestic tomato processing plants have stopped production that india and other farmers are only able to sell to the so-called. market queens dealers who resell the tomatoes and other cities there's an oversupply in the high season and so the prices drop to almost nothing but for me it's 2 weeks ago we sold these crates for twice as much. if there's no demand like today and we farmers more or less just give the crates away. we sell them at any price. i might be honest. quantock financial difficulties led benedict as husband to go to europe where he works as a farm laborer in italy is able to send money home every month to provide for his family and pay his children's tuition. many gunning ins 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. they're in but if it's a matter for these crates you get 3 or 50 or 4 for such a huge crate you. would to come from coca-cola you know. even if they work hard for morning until night the men receive at most 20 to 30 euros a day. who are often no one in africa would believe that 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 really still alive to have off from that. although. i. would have to. 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. well most of the thanks to the money we have a roof over our heads and can continue to build our house bit by bit 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 ians are on their way north. to. the garment industry puts out more c o 2 that an aviation and mercantile shipping together so environmentalists are touting swap meets and secondhand markets. beautiful commute to notice the ugly side of fast fashion all too well and doesn't

want to be a part of a tiny mall she's a textiles ex-pat environmental organization greenpeace and hasn't gotten 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. and i hear i can take something on a whim without harming the environment because the closer for deeper morning if i don't want to tell me more i take it to the next party it stays in circulation and doesn't use that resources i just. discarded don't easily end up as a party they end up somewhere like this east west is a large textiles recycling company in neighboring mahal than 70 tons of clothing arrive here every day. east west tries to sell as much of it as possible especially abroad. used clothing can be shredded and sold to industry as cleaning materials or

insulation but the rest is garbage. and that proportion is growing rapidly. and so it's once and frequently of your we've noticed the tendency over the last 20 years the amount of clothing coming in has continued to grow in the last 6 years it went up by about a 3rd at the same time quality has fallen in a very noticeable way. that means cheaper fabrics more synthetic fibers 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. 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 then. so that's probably

how they approach making the garments the. second time and has been around for a long time but in the past he often had to rummage around in stocks of clothing to find something suitable. the other things. that's changing online platforms and specialist 2nd homes tools are on the rise that's beside the mystics all they 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 like health because. despite not buying new clothes for 10 years the owner of all commit says she never feels like she has to go without.
