get here this time because the police has beefed up its presence it's closed all the streets around here i should say that there are 2 or 300 not i mentioned a large counter demonstration there's also form the police are at slightly at a loss to know what to do they're asking people to remember the rules and to indeed break up the demonstration but at the same time so far they haven't been intervening beyond as i say blocking the streets and taking one or 2 people away probably for questioning just take down their details so at the moment the police are playing a waiting game but we'll see if they think it's necessary to actually stop people demonstrating it all some young reporting there from central berlin now every year millions of visitors descend on the german city of munich to celebrate october fest the 2 week festival is a carnival of traditional food music and of course beer this year the kegs will be tapped for the titians decided that in times of corona lockdowns large crowds

packed together in tents or was too much of a public health. these are trying times for months that show he owns the theater shish to one of the most traditional show booths here in the munich october fest grounds. i got this flag recently for our jubilees celebrating 150 years of the theater and i never thought it would soon have a black morning ribbon and it has no sense overreacting but today i'm sad and that's why the flag draped in black this month could shower as put on performances at the october fest every year since $985.00 this is what we do here in front of the tent is out of passions we've made about $400.00 shows and a few in the 1st. month for it is never canceled performances before so this hurts . that's how it is it's not fun but it's reality.

most of all he misses being together with his team. and for him even if i love seeing them all there's such great people it doesn't get better than that. 6000000 people from across the globe come to the munich up tobar fest every year to live it up drink and dance. there won't be any visitors this year though of the site in the heart of the city will remain empty munich residents are disappointed but understanding it's a shame and really sad we live just around the corner and we always used to go with the children and friends and family. from unfit for munich is a city it's unfortunate and i think economically it will be detrimental for all munich residents it's a time when the world comes to visit us and when the world can see how open and warm hearted the city of munich is i think we'll miss being able to send that kind of message out into the world it's also just a time of lightness and for volatility and that's exactly what's missing in the

city right now that's why it's a shame so i really do find it sad in that of what i think yes good we've all contributed the children to we know the discourse and have a huge fairlight the october fest would go ahead i would think well what's the point of doing all that when at the end everyone just gets together and celebrates them and if i am not. for performers like months that show of the cancellation of the october fest is financially devastating the props are his show won't be unpacked this year still he understands the decision. because if i can put it would be irresponsible you know i really like being healthy i like earning money but i'd rather be in good health. even if times get really hard financially and emotionally it was the right thing to do now we can look forward to the next
