this week on the world stories. china lingering fear and a new start. russia ballet dancers training at home. but 1st to south africa a country with the toughest measures to combat the coronavirus it's even pander sale of alcohol and fat as triggered a surge in home brewing. in the township of lying out in cape town business for richard became year has been brisk despite the coronavirus pandemic at his project stand one item in particular is selling very well pineapples he sells 20 cases every 3 days even though the price has doubled since public wish to actions began.

they said of the out to support of this this is those of you sitting there going to get in the moment now why is that. because if it were there depending on if you're to get something to drink that's why michael behati has come here to hobby brewer shopping for pineapples as well as yeast apples grapes and sugar. industry piled up balls and. back home harvey and a friend are testing their latest brew it's been fair mentoring and a package for 5 days that process turns this liquid to alcohol. he says he can't understand why the government has banned the sale of alcohol. i think also it affects our financial state in terms of the country and also obvious people that people that depend on steadily as well would have to make ends meet don't so now they can't i don't think government should bear that i think the government should reconsider opening up and so maybe

a few hours maybe 3 hours during the day south africa has implemented a 5 tier social restriction system alcohol will only go on sale again when the country reaches alert level 3 expected by the end of may according to government adviser salim abdul karim the country's pandemic peak will most likely be sometime between late july and september the extent to which we need emergency we had. callers a major continues you know 3 different ways. of contributes also. strongly linked to alcohol and then gathered our. use actually at how it is lower cirrhosis so are the lows those tend to occupy a very substantial amount of. humility meanwhile the shadow economy in the lying a time ship and across the country he is driving this cost the city millions in

lost tax revenues michael but harvey plans to continue making his own pineapple beer even though he readily admits he'd much rather have a glass of fine red wine. while china's government congratulates itself on its handling of the corona crisis many people there are worried if it's really safe to return to business as usual. a bit of normality for 8 year old mono and his parents as restrictions in china have largely been eased the people slowly return to their pre epidemic routines playgrounds and streets fill up shops have reopened even as official propaganda constantly reminds people to stay vigilant this banner reminds the residents be responsible. is here now on the surface the epidemics

influence on our lives is weakening but i have the feeling that this isn't over yet it still affects our lives our movements. i just bought an electric scooter so i won't have to use public transport anymore. this young queen manages an art gallery husbanding house young is an artist even before the epidemic took hold he used to work from home while momo spent his days in school and so young we came home for dinner but for the last 3 months the 3 of them had been confined to their apartment . there was a lot of friction between the 2 of us in the beginning but after a short while we became a lot friendlier with each other. that's gone quite well you're. just as. schools are still closed my most classes are taught online

homework is handed in on a chat up. but my most mother is back at work with no more than a handful of daily new cases reported nationwide the government is pushing for businesses to return to normal. or general musharraf. i feel the situation is under control now think i feel safe. and that has a lot to do with the government's response. i feel that in such an extreme situation in china system is able to respond better than those of western countries but young query is more skeptical a confidence has been shaken during the last few months. well hoshi well i try not to watch the news too often so i worry less and if i have to i prefer to rely on people i know friends who work in the media and whom i trust

as well as people in chat groups who i feel are reliable that's how i try to stay up to date. i avoid state media. she does not want to elaborate further she feels censorship is too sensitive to discuss in public the family is now figuring out how to deal with the uncertainties that lie ahead. in germany shops are reopening and that's key to reviving the economy but the new rules and restrictions about hygiene and social distancing keeping shoppers away. saturday used to be shopping day but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore.

if it's airy here everything's changed too few passes by too few people too few potential customers. marc lined there is touring the 65 or so shoe stores belonging to his family they've come back after the 4 shut down but the customers haven't. since we reopened on april the 20th we've done 40 to 90 percent less business in the same time last year depending on the location that's a very dramatic drop. not having enough customers is just one problem but the whole atmosphere is poor social distancing measures blocked off areas and queuing in front of stores all discouraging visitors from shopping even if money isn't the problem. romeo get when we have the money but we're not spending it we don't go out to dinner or to a bar we're not going out to do any shopping either. it's just not any fun right

now this doesn't feel normal yet to me as if we're mega cool i used to buy more than i do these days but wearing a mask and sweating in the store i don't feel like doing that retailers are in a state of emergency where houses are full of stock unsold during lockdown winter boots and summer are a hard sell. no chance no one's going to buy them until probably october but. instead they're selling what's in high demand disinfectant facemasks that's the shoe stores hottest new trend. the manager says she fears for her job but she understands why she's not getting customers yaman. yes you do become more restrained in your shopping habits no one knows how long it will last how long the short time working measures will last it makes you shop more attentively. if business doesn't pick up by the

summer there might be a wave of retail bankruptcies the more people lose their jobs the less they can by a vicious circle recovery might still be on the cards if a 2nd wave of the virus can be prevented. covert 19 is hitting russia very hard lockdown has been strict people have had to exercise at home and that holds for famous ballet dancers 2. huge bellied stars on the roots smallest stage this is how the day starts for evander and mario you know ground up in the arctic or the alsa just outside of moscow and not in a blue studio like before and that's also how both ballet dancers have kept to themselves in shape of the past 2 months by doing classical moves on just 6 could

be meters before the girl never responded nick yvonne was the principal dancer at the renowned mikulski in sent peter's book. his wife maria had been chanting audiences as a leading soloist at moscow's the bolshoi ballet. however since mid march to they can't perform anymore at least not in the usual way. you can take the theatre from us artists but you can't take our creativity and as you mentioned we train every day to try and stay in shape but of course we still end up getting out of the shape we were in with nice staging area rehearsal rooms and none of the real physical strain that we usually had like when we trained more than 6 hours a day. cultural life in russia has been on hold for more than 2 months now.

the seats at the bolshoi theatre have remained empty and an ant of that emptiness is still not in sight. you can't put a protective mask on an opera singer nor on a wind instrument player. and in a music theater with its numerous participants you cannot carry out measures that protect against the coronavirus a music theater can only open up again once those protective measures have been completely removed. and no one knows when that will be along with the u.s. and brazil russia has one of the highest number of 1000 factions of any country would bite. and it's keeping both ballet dancer speeds on c.d.'s and not really having a crowd of up stuck at their home in moscow. i
