a bit we've already missed one of the most important months of the year and this summer will be the same. tourism is so important for spain but this year tourism is dead to. spain cities should be bustling with life this time of year now they look more like ghost towns normally tourists from all over europe would be celebrating this spring holiday in spain sunny beaches it's spanish cuisine and sangria and spring isn't even the peak season. one it was fun and as far as the worst is yet to come if tourists from germany britain and france stay away this year there might not be any summer holiday business at all. national can also work wonderfully not only do we not know when we can reopen our restaurants again we also don't know how we would do so do we need to reduce the amount of tables to ensure enough distance between guests we've

hardly got any room to begin with. this is going to cost us more jobs than your idea we're going to put off a little bit of video. susan is the driving force to spain's economy this is what it looked like a year ago more than 18000000 tourists just a one in 10 jobs a part of the hospitality industry after years of record breaking numbers of 2 arrests florentino fell good also economist at the university of all the now believe spain is facing a serious crisis. if it does this by next year but the virus hits span especially hard. that's damaged the country's image so tourists might be wary of coming to visit the government has confirmed. prime minister that we could only hope to get it under control. soon so that people will want to come visit spain again in the long. run. less tourism has gone back significantly juta the compound pandemic

even the way of some chains which in past years was like a pilgrim's main thoroughfare is empty today not a man of the theater from you so ca should have friends at the camino to santiago seize an opportunity in the crisis he wants to renew the way of some jams and turn it into a route for sustainable tourism. is the moment when we can use this opportunity now about what kind of way of st james we want. you know we want to maintain the original pilgrimage route or let it become what some are taken to calling it an amusement park. for now most innkeepers are simply struggling to survive costello interview to fernando relies on the pilgrims that come from over the world he actually wanted to expand his business and i just bought a 2nd house he was planning to turn into a hostile. i wanted to use by savings to renovate.

this is that instead of amusing me just to make ends meet with another form. i recently took out a loan. now only to pay it back for the bills. that i can forget about renovation works any time soon whatever the cause as bad i don't have to. answer for rondo has had to put his dreams back in the shit he's even considering moving back to convince him to resume a tradition he doesn't see much teaching into. while all the people in spain are hoping for a visit from abroad romanians are trying to keep them at bay some fear that their fellow citizens would seize on the jobs in other e.u. countries could import the new coronavirus some politicians are taking strict measures to prevent people from gathering in public spaces all in efforts to contain the spread of the virus but this move is making life for villagers and

income for small farmers but mare shonda had the market closed down anyway with migrant workers returning from western europe unable to find work in the crisis mehr top was worried they could bring back the virus and spread it. will be notable everyone's the people from our region got through it because farmers markets will because this virus spreads easily through crowds so we closed it immediately without any specific directive from the government that they should look the result will be also to be dislodged from the walking if we hadn't i'm sure the people returning from the ground would have thrown around their money and partied with their friends there we wanted to shoot them down which are just to cut only. about one 5th of the $1000.00 knowing romanians including many roma work in other e.u. countries so far about $1000000.00 of them have returned home with no work

away doesn't even know and hear them to get what you like diff provided us with this little square plot to sum up products but the real market is closed. only thing they can use a larger quantities of and they have a machine and i don't know what to do so. we've got no money will starve even so we need to keep working at work where most of the factories are closed on the fields there the wind blows the virus away. so far the region has lost 40 inhabitants to the coronavirus but the hospital in the career on iraq surely has not seen one khurana patient so far dr cardio shanteau supports the mayor's measures. beyond thought that he made the right decision. a mass gathering like the weekly market would have spread the virus very quickly.

this way the possibility of infection has been minimized. i think people have understood and accepted that you can get over it with me. after weathering 2 months of the run a lockdown measures in our hometown all those reaching the end of her rope today's earnings are barely enough for a few bottles of water and she's not alone most people in the region are farmers they all face the same problems now. up until now all grown her family were able to get by with their vegetables and chickens. the family has no other source of income. although hope she might be able to sell her freshly planted a plants at the market the summer the recession the recession and the man completely gone from reacted why will markets

the war she turned her back on germany and moved to paris but to this day her family and that of her rescuers remain friends. was honeybees full of life a practicing jew she was a true berliner at heart. she passed away in 2019 aged 95 it was close to a miracle the honey survived the nazi period as a young girl she had underground in the german capital berlin she was supported by a network of non jewish friends today her son rene recalls her tales after surviving the war she raised him in paris. but on the opposite but one day they could stop only knocked at her door itself feels my mother didn't open she ran for her life. you know she went through the neighbor's flats and even bumped into one of the cars stop a man sent to arrest her as she fled downstairs. outside some non

jewish friends came to her aid the same nor the 5. 'd years later honey levy published an article i r griffey honoring the unsung heroes who protected her. in one chapter she recounts the day she fled her home. just 19 years old with nothing but the clothes on her back. in my now no desperate mind i turned to one of my new acquaintances. i had met her at a small cinema where she worked and had visited her several times before. of course and this is called there was shocked when i told her about my situation she told her husband and was quick to promise she would protect me i felt sure she would never turn me in. harm he spent the next 18 months of her life hiding here in this courtyard and burned then shona back. she had

a fake id and dyed her hair blond to appear arion. the cultures were hardly levy's main lifeline but they weren't the only ones to help. them there or see it had been in several other families also took her in. cuba it is a bit of some found hiding places for her mother has brought her groceries and leave on. a memorial plaque outside the culture home burn the national bird now honors the couple for their deeds and he was happy to return the berlin when it was unveiled several years ago. yes i'm struggling to find the right words. above all i want to thank this incredible household community that. there weren't many of these silent helpers among the mass of nazi followers but they proved that resistance was in fact possible more than 6000 jews had

underground in berlin. only one in 4 survived. berlin's german resistance memorial center has dedicated an entire exhibition floor to those who were prosecuted and those who helped them. it shines a light on ordinary people not the well known resistance fighters individuals who risked their lives to save their friends and neighbors historians have documented hundreds of stories like that of honey levy. and the most important message for me. which we can give to young people in future is to show that people have a troyes that they can decide on which side they want to act and they have this joy is also under dictatorship. they

headed also under nazi rule but the truth they had to kiss side what they want to do and what they want to be. people have a choice after the war the levy moved to paris her son rene tells us that although the nazis murdered several of his family members he feels no hatred towards germans that he says is the next to his mother she in the culture family remained close through the years. my math course you are supposed cause when i was just 6 months old my mother took me to berlin to introduce me to the concerts pool my plays all day and the way through this culture was like a mother to her needs met them kids over the course she even called her beauty or movement and the play that you know. my mom would deep call and referee one sunday when i got my me to 1975 all the culture family members who were still alive since you came to

a wedding some of the new and upcoming years. renee says the actions of the colts are family made clear that amid the unspeakable nazi horror and bloodshed at the time that some in germany managed to keep their compassion and humanity. many of us have collective stuff in our base men's and our addicts that we know we will no longer use of but don't want to throw away just yet a company in sweden had a great idea of how to give such items a 2nd life they opened of the world's 1st recycling shopping center and a vast not all across sweden people can visit special auctions to buy or sell stuff these auctions have a long tradition and assured to make a comeback after the corona crisis is over. in the community hall at the village of tuna northeast of groups one of sweden's most cherished traditions comes to life

old news knick knacks are sold at an auction about to feel like in sweden nobody likes wasting anything that is still in perfectly good shape. all of it to the evil auctioneer cristiano has plenty of odd wares on offer and all of them are useful somehow he sees to that himself. whenever a household is dissolved christiane buys up the items that would otherwise have gone into the trash and fixes them up to sell you fin here you can buy things fairly cheaply good things that lasted but also a good. living room suite back there for instance with a film it costs about 80 euros and if you know with the people who need to swedes objects with a story to tell treasures there's hardly anything that someone else would like to give a new home. what anybody would want with an old delight a surveyor's instrument only the buyer knows it's as much in demand as a box full of toys. is one of the betters today is her lucky day it.

sold a box full of old dolls for about 20 euro. party. favorite movies i simply had to have it so i just kept on bidding. the auction is a fun way to hunt for useful trinkets for small prices have a little bit can go a long way the guiding principle reduce reuse recycle more and more people in sweden are coming round to the bitters way of thinking sustainability is becoming a way of life and a smashing new business model. a few years ago one of the world's 1st recycling malls opened in as close to enough to forge jam packed with furniture clothes books and most anything else imaginable. and it's all 2nd hand donated by its previous owner. is in charge of electronics.

everyone who comes here they have an object if they come here to save the environment and help others to make some money like the rich want to hear about through the retail it won't work with all this would all be just on the old like responsibility. these old t.v. sets computers and telephones are headed now for the junky but the repair shop and they come out almost as good as new it's a win win operation with the environment as the biggest winner at. the recycling department store pays off financially as well all the participating retailers together say they had over 1000000 euros in revenues and 29000. and customer figures are on the rise too. there's something for almost everyone. both of us for the sound i love to. look at this is an old record player a book called whiskey. and after the shops closing the recycling department store

the events and courses begin. workshops teach have refurbished old things and make paper are objects from old books or jewelry from bottle caps. we're definitely a part in challenging the. concept of what is. also challenging the concept of that even if we do our part even if we are part in a consumer culture or. what we consume also makes a huge difference what impact it has on the environment. in the meantime the auction in tuna is winding down christiane puts one of the final lots on the block . and old tea service like this is almost certain to find a buyer. while the buyers rushed home with their treasures the auctioneer tallies up the sales of the day the

auction today turned a handsome profit it was not going to sweden we like 2nd hand things we ship to us there's something very special at the in this value of all european countries but i'm sure here is where this movement a strong just. but maybe the sweet spot for 2nd hand to spread to the rest of europe as well after all just because something is old doesn't mean it's not still handy and sustainable shopping is becoming an ever stronger imperative not just in the far north. the kobe had 19 outbreak has a forest many people into isolation while some are fighting boredom at home others of like brood nyad. are discovering their creative side she and thousands of other russians have taken to facebook to show off their self created versions of popular works of art and to create some will be artists use the toilet paper food and even pets. fly
