but you take all the challenges of the world with going to. the place and with this entrepreneurial mind you look at those 2 problems and make them one clear new ship a new season of. this week double. welcome to global 3 thousands. even in the best of times racism is a problem but the current pandemic has made things even worse for many. sweden's method of dealing with the coronaviruses rather relaxed rising infection rates a casting doubt on its effectiveness but 1st over field hospitals overwhelms

nursing staff in mexico some fear the pandemic is spiraling out of control. according to the world health organization over 8000000 cases of corona virus have been confirmed so far nearly 450000 people have died of the disease that in america has been particularly acute effects alongside brazil peru and chile mexico has been struck with an alarming number of infections and yet many there seem lax about lockdown measures despite the fact that over 18000 mexicans have died so far. code was a suspected coated case. diego ocurred and his red cross units here in mexico are on their way. up to the patient has respiratory problems and all the other symptoms of it. it's another tough day for the teen the pandemic. it has likely been at its

peak here for weeks nobody knows for sure there's very little testing. if it's distressing not knowing how many are really infected so we won't know when this is going to end up that i mean. we don't get enough sleep west stressed out some of our colleagues have been infected and some have died but i mean because go for you if you will. they never know what awaits them. when the medics go in what they hear doesn't sound good. the man is 81 years old and a diabetic his blood oxygen level is too low he can hardly breathe. ok he has 38 degree fever and he hasn't been able to stand for 3 days. it's probably covered let's take him to hospital. but just as the crew is getting

ready the transport is suddenly canceled i figure they take him away he may never come back but for me. diego recover leaves the patient his chances don't get good with a heavy heart yes a lot of family ties are strong in mexico they prefer to die with their loved ones even if they could be saved in the hospital with other committee the buffalo. the unit has to move on in addition to the stress of their assignments the ambulances have to fight for space in the streets in mexico not everyone gets out of their way . whatever time going in gave me the equipment i. then next call takes them to a large family crammed into a small space. are you afraid of catching it. yes. yet when he asks if a covert test has been done they say no. but the man is having trouble breathing

and one woman tells us that he's had pneumonia. it often starts that way. since hospitals are overcrowded the medics can only take critical patients but he doesn't have to go to hospital yet he's stable. a candle has been lit to ward off death. but thousands of mexicans have already lost the battle the country's covert 19 mortality rate is well above average. the criminal toria are working flat out and there's a waiting list. charlie cruises life has also been turned upside down. but i think you try to do the maximum potential i've never had to deal with so many dead people before 6 bodies a day that's all the scrimmage torreon can manage. relatives are given just 5

minutes to say goodbye. then charlie cruise has to ask them to leave. we have to harden our hearts everything has to be done quickly the body can't stay here long. it's been weeks since he's had a break. if you have you have got it's risky and i'm scared because i have a family and i'm afraid i might infect them with the fire. a relative must always confirm the deceased to avoid mistaken identity. i put in rages charlie cruise is that many mexicans deny the coronavirus exists believing that it's all an elaborate government ruse. been so why don't people switch on their brains if things continue like this i don't know when it'll end not just that one. mexico is starting to adjust to the new normal although the number

of infections is still rising significantly. that varies diego october has been sleeping at a hotel for weeks and hasn't seen his daughter for a month. and i believe in soul mates we're very connected but she's proud of me and i'm proud of her we're together even when we don't see each other. diego occur and the rest of the unit do their best to fight fatigue they want to continue for as long as it takes for at least as long as their strength holds. in europe many countries reacted to the corona pandemic by shutting down much of public life borders were closed face masks became mandatory and travel basically ceased falling infection rates appeared to confirm the legitimacy of these measures sweden however chose a different strategy and many there hope that the controversial approach will pay all. in the long term. the summer has arrived insults you about are not far from

stockholm banishing thoughts of the coronavirus pandemic at least for a moment but jessica and her family are convinced that the crisis is far from over . there will be a 2nd wave. this is not over yet. and sweden or anywhere else. in the family contracted coronavirus early they've recovered now and could be immune but the coronavirus are still affecting their lives jessica provides training for managers but there's little demand for that right now the few appointments she does still have she conducts via video conferencing from home suddenly she's got a lot more time for her children and for books by the sea. her husband frederick was the 1st to get the virus in mid march. it hit me on

a thursday afternoon. within just a few hours i came down with a really high temperature. and i spent 8 or 9 days in bed with a 40 degree fever it was exhausting i hardly coughed at all but i had a headache and bad pains everywhere. my wife had to look after me and the children . so many. in sweden children from families with corona virus infections are permitted to continue going to school as long as they're showing no symptoms themselves but other parents demanded that jessica keep her 3 kids out of school and is that they left becoming a possible source of infection for others and suddenly becoming a social pariah was really ghastly. that it was awful that people were afraid about . sweden's approach to the pandemic has relied for the most part on voluntary

compliance with precautionary measures most people are following the recommendations 20 minutes away in stockholm the streets are empty many people are working from home voluntarily state epidemiology understanding that wanted to avoid the kind of lockdown seen in other scandinavian countries instead his aim was to achieve a broad base of immunity. the virus will spread more slowly if more people in the population become immune no one disputes that many people have already become immune immunity will develop but the illness itself won't disappear completely. technical believes that sweden's population will be safe once 40 percent of people have acquired immunity against the virus the country might to reach that point by late summer but without building up her immunity i do think that the long over all . your files may not be higher may actually be much longer i think

the best estimates are just some time around christmas or after christmas where we could have a vaccine ready and i do think the 2nd way it will hit that's much earlier than that at present sweden is paying a high price for this controversial approach almost $5000.00 people have died after contracting corona virus in per capita terms that's 4 times as many as in german. cat homes and densely populated immigrant districts have been hard hit techno now admits that mistakes have been made with a good he has lost her father despite typical symptoms the 62 year old was not tested for corona virus instead the doctor sent him home with cough syrup and antibiotics when he ended up in hospital days later it was too late. other governments have closed their countries that may not have conducted in experiment with their citizens my father was

a guinea pig. because here they say that some people's immune systems can deal with the virus and other peoples can't my father's immune system clearly lost the battle . and clot up. in her neighborhood many people appear to have got infected while attending church in the cemetery there's one fresh grave after another. this rave contains a couple who got infected with covert 19 they went to the same church as my father . and here there are others who died from the virus. appears my father's cousin and here's the grave of our pastor's son. he is convinced that her father would not have died if they'd been in germany. but most swedes back the risky concept of herd immunity. there are some rules but a lot of things haven't changed much. of the core of

i understand that the rest of the world must find it strange that we aren't wearing any masks and wear outside laughing and enjoying ourselves but i think this is also important for our well being. frederick and jessica are happy that they appear to have got coronavirus behind them and that life has remained fairly normal in sweden but they realize that others have paid a high price for the herd immunity strategy. so. far as our old folks are concerned there have been deaths and that is tragic but it's good that we younger folk are able to live our lives relatively normally. in autumn it's likely to become clear whether sweden's singular approach will mean fewer deaths in the long run in comparison to the rest of europe.

you know. the concept of race the picture waited to this day originated in the time of european colonialism over centuries europeans took control over much of africa and other regions in slaved around 12000000 africans and shipped them across the atlantic to work in brutal conditions this gross misuse of power created the illusion for many white people that they belong to a superior race one which ruled the world even today such misconceptions remain anchored in the heads of many people along with their tendency to feel suspicious towards the unknown add to that an outside threat like the coronavirus and prejudice can really rise to the fore. it started in march victoria koori will noticed something had changed when she took public transport. first i thought i was imagining things i noticed people would look at my face and said elsewhere. i followed 3 of them just to make sure they

weren't just getting off the subway but they'd moved further down the train and were sitting in the bicycle carriage. victoria korea is german she's used to experiencing discrimination but once the 1st cases of college 19 appeared here such incidents became more frequent. although berlin is widely seen as a tolerant diverse city she encountered hatred. one man even. told her she should spray herself with disinfectant. but i feel like i've been keeping a low profile because i'm afraid of encountering hostility. have to admit when i see a bunch of people outside a bar i cross to the other side of the street to avoid being hassled. although. i'm glad to be working from home these days because i sense that even though i live in berlin people don't see me as german.

social scientists now isn't surprised to hear that. in discrimination research we're all too familiar with that question where do you come from i can be a german citizen i can hold a german passport and still find myself being asked this question because i don't look german underground what does not looking german mean clearly it's based on fixed ideas about what germans or europeans should look like and it's a sign that germany still doesn't see itself as a plural society. on facebook with torrie a koori will contacted other people who've had similar experiences since the pandemic began there have been many reports of hostility towards people who might be for to look chinese. hi i see you found this from china and also lives and. he's filmed incidents of racial abuse he's experienced on the subway. and

a friend just told me you should you should totally report it even so i don't have that much hope on the. police but because i want to at least to show people that i have this evidence and not going to being silent this. little child. hunnam came and said jim lee also had a very nasty experience at night in the bergen subway a group of people shouting a corona corona party insulted them call him was also sexually harassed on the platform one of them lashed out. the korean couple called the police to report the offense we explained them the police officers explained them but they don't feel. that is racism. that is kind of a shock. the south korean embassy is also unhappy with how the police dealt with

the case. the 1st thing we did was to speak to the police officers who were called out and we gave legal advice to the young couple. we also wrote on behalf of the consulate general to the police officer already. we asked them to investigate the case both urgently and with the necessary care. through. victoria also says it wasn't easy to get her voice heard that prompted her to create a website that helps bring people together and offer support. i think it's important for people to be connected in this way during times of social distancing to share their experiences so others know what's going on she found others who wanted to get involved with her project they spent 6 weeks working from home on the website and now it's gone online it's called it's been kind or i'm not

a virus users can write about their experiences and find offers of help as well as positive responses the site has also attracted hate mail. when i get involved in activism or the kind of work we're doing now it's best to think about the next generation and our children and our fellow citizens so hopefully they won't have to experience such things. we have invested so much energy in working to counter racism we can't stop now. could a wuis glad she took action. project has definitely made me feel stronger we've gotten a lot of support from people we didn't know from people we got to know him from people we worked with it's given us a good feeling. racism is nothing new in germany victoria koori woofy as it will be around long after the pandemic is over but she's determined to help people who are

out that chocolate isn't candy cocoa is a plant that confers health and well being. fat. tuesday it's the rule cocoa for the chocolate from a nearby village. in sorted out to the school in panama toro province the inhabitants have preserved and ancient tradition. in accordance with the practice of their indigenous for this no bay they cultivate cocoa in the particularly green and sustainable manner. jungle clearing and plantations on their way to be seen nor do they use pesticides instead they grow cocoa in the middle of the jungles. on the. harvest some triacs and use them to build our timber house. that them all or more or grow various crops for food. and of course the

cocoa that we sell commercially while. we use an agro forestry system we don't create monoculture cocoa plantations that's just not in keeping with our tradition. but i can see and. specialist mavis of teas was also convinced by the merits of the natural cultivation method so she decided to set up her art is an all chocolate factory right next door 5 years ago she wanted to use the best possible organic so she decided to work with the cocoa farmers from some of that debris scope only their traditional cultivated cocoa grown in the heart of the jungle meets her requirements. where the soil is protected by leaves it's healthier for people because no chemicals are used cocoa plants have a good yield in their cultivation is environmentally friendly when they get the right amount of shade neither too much nor too little. being handed out on benefits

. besides cocoa rare flora also grow among the trees as well as plants used for medicinal and ritual purposes by the no bay the country's largest indigenous people. but industrial cocoa cultivation is increasingly squeezing out the old methods agroforestry graduate mavis ortiz would like to help stop that that's why she regularly holds training sessions for cocoa farmers so they can further refine their cultivation methods and improve the quality of the beans. killing i guess i've actually would like to know how to choose the best branch for grafting. made us or tease is particularly keen to support the female coco follow me as she wants to provide them with an income of their own so they're not solely dependent on their menfolk that's why she pays 60

percent above the going rate. if sang in b.c. the women are often unseen which i don't hear them fade away i thought about how they don't complain about working hard. i would like their work in cocoa farming and chocolate production to be more highly regarded i mean you're by yourself all of that goes down well with the women but on the whole little. it's important for us women to get organized. if we join together we'll really benefit. what he will make we look after our children and we feed them and educate them and this would allow us to earn more money to give us more opportunities. the taste processes the role cocoa and in nearby think at 1st it's left to ferment for several days and then it has to dry.

i brought you my grandpappy out in the water the beans are already becoming flavorful and this is when they start to taste like chocolate during this process and they don't mend their normally or taste the cocoa beans after they've dried then you can tell if the harvest in the fermentation process were good from an. earthworm is create a miniature and that's what mass his hair out isn't all chocolate business my america color is trying to make a name for high quality local chocolate the t. cells it online at trade fairs and other events and in stores across panama she wants to change the image of chocolate as just a sweet treat instead she sees it as a food packed with healthy ingredients and guess what thing that interests them and then substances are found in the cocoa pod and if we want to retain the special qualities of cocoa then we have it with this little sugar as possible whenever counsel me look when i'm in a car that's the message i want to spread and i have the feeling that it's becoming

more and more widely accepted that. my a baker column is not the only chocolate company that employs natural cultivation methods and is sparing with its use of sugar. in the last 5 years several small panamanian businesses have set themselves the goal of making healthy high quality chocolate or teas his self enjoys chocolate most when it's liquid. one of the most of the so that when i drink this cup of hot chocolate i have the feeling while you can taste where the cocoa comes from the farm that it comes from the characteristics of the each individual cultivation so look at the name was in the sauna and i really savor i guess i would i appreciate that i recognize the potential of the cocoa produced by every family with a laughing stock of you know the laughter molecular proneness. that's
