i was made to look at me. my answer. honestly unsolvable with. the sequel. starts july 3rd d.w.i. . hello and a warm welcome to focus on europe i'm peter cop and thanks for joining us these days we're all longing for life to get back to normal while we are gradually moving towards normality in europe the impact of the coverage 19 crisis is becoming more and more visible especially when it comes to domestic violence millions of women have been physically abused by their partners during lockdown staying at home and

current time did help protect women and children against the virus but not against domestic violence according to the w.h.o. emergency calls from victims rose by 60 percent. domestic violence is a big issue in russia after the kremlin opposed and they should lock down a march women's rights advocates sounded the alarm about a surge in domestic violence cases and calls for action to protect victims but only few were able to escape their plight after all many official shelters were full moscow hotel operator volunteer consented stepped into the breach is set of accommodating tourists she offers her rooms to women seeking protection. konstantin of a has put the past few weeks to good use she's turning these old window frames into decorations for the rooms in her hotel valentino has time for interior design

projects after all her hotel hasn't had any guests during moscow's lockdown but it wasn't completely empty either since early april she's been hosting survivors of domestic violence women who couldn't be taken in that official shelters because of quarantine regulations have been staying with her for free posting them wasn't always easy. when the women arrive here they cry they go to their rooms they cry again they can't sleep and get up late and then they cry again but i see that they start to relax here to feel at home we are very gentle with them i think it's very important that we don't ask them why they are here we don't meddle in their private lives we don't ask questions we talk about other things we eat or have tea together. domestic violence is often a taboo topic in russia but it's an emotional issue for valentina she has friends

who've escaped abusive partners it says she couldn't always help now she can help women like that it's the musicians spend several weeks at the hotel she couldn't stand being around her husband anymore. it wasn't the 1st time my husband hit me even before the quarantine when you love someone you forgive the. but the 4th or the 5th time it's just impossible to bear. something clicks in your head it made me just get up and leave. i couldn't stand it anymore. so usually just. to. it's not just who had to escape her home during quarantine women's advocacy groups have reported that calls to a domestic abuse hotline have increased by up to 75 percent since the pandemic and they don't expect any improvement soon. and we will be dealing with the

consequences of this quarantine for a long time especially our boyers and psychologists people will be coming to them with horrible stories huge traumas and serious tragedies. according to some estimates over $10000.00 women in russia are killed every year by injuries inflicted by a partner but in many cases domestic violence is not a criminal offense on the screen in other countries there are mechanisms in place to fight against domestic violence on a state level restraining order strict legislation and law enforcement agencies that are taught how to deal with these situations unfortunately russia doesn't have that that's why more cases here in didn't murder and more women stay in abusive relationships because they don't have the tools to get out of them. hotel is located in moscow says majlis he market before the pandemic tourists bustle between stalls of bric a brac and god copies of russian style architecture valentino hopes that painting

guests will start coming back soon she's nearly finished renovating the rooms of her hotel a few of them which is proud to show off her don already but she also doesn't want to stop taking in survivors of domestic violence. this is the great we are helping people and that gives everyone at the hotel a good feeling even if it's not always easy with the women in there are sometimes tough situations knowing that we are doing something good lift our spirits and makes us more ready to fight for the hotel after the pandemic. valentino's team plans to keep one or 2 rooms available for the when. the hotel owner says in normal times that should be a problem. at the hotels shouldn't see this as a huge sacrifice to society or as a huge expanse it actually costs almost nothing essentially it's just the cost of cleaning the sheets. for many women valentino's commitment has already made

a difference in her time in the hotel has given professional singers the strength to start over. but it's not for them when it is. merely a moment scheme. this is emery a student from the way he considers himself lucky living in a country which could be a corona role model for europe norway has reopened kindergartens and ramped up primary and junior school provision which does not appear to have triggered a resurgence of covered by $900.00. to the light of emory who's really thrilled to be back at school silva all slow in a stunning location. sometimes the walk to catch the school bus in norway looks like a hike in the country spectacular scenery one thing the corona crisis has not changed and break in la france have been boarding the bus south of caution though every morning again since late april. here the strict hygiene regulations are still in

force but at the school things are almost back to normal normally uses the traffic light system for at schools the alert level has been on red since the crisis hit now it's on yellow and the peoples have slowly grown used to the classes being kept apart on the school grounds. really hard as we have a big section over there. and the other class in our grade can be there behind the playground. and bricks teacher welcomes the youngsters outside in the school yard 1st they all have to stand in line to disinfect their hands. but since the 1st of june they haven't had to keep the minimum one metre distance from each other any more even if mbox class has plenty of room between the desks anyway before their teacher you know hug and set something else is much more important we come at last we teachers are allowed to take the children up again and comfort them for instance

when they hurt themselves that was hardly possible up to now if you have to wear a face mask every time it seems very unnatural the. more you will so far norway has had almost only positive experiences with the opening of schools according to the nation's epidemiologists hardly any cases of children passing on the virus have been reported the experts feel validated by developments since the schools opened you know i guess about what early on our view was that closing the schools was unnecessary it was a political decision and a complicated situation and. now even the norwegian government has serious doubts that closing the schools was any help at all fewer than 250 people have died at the. on a virus in norway the scandinavian country has not experienced any excessive mortality rate events with gatherings of up to $200.00 are now permitted after school today emberg in his class are off to the seashore and now they can get together with youngsters from the other class in their grade but they still observe

the hygiene guidelines. the 1st part is they can see my friends again regularly. but the corona virus is still a dangerous thing or it will probably be around for a long time yet they can make people very ill. despite loosening restrictions and always still keeping its borders close this summer the norwegians will be keeping mostly to themselves. terrific prospects for emerick at the beginning of the school holidays no tourists and a lot of space for himself. things are very different on the spanish yorka many earn their living through tourism especially from german guests but due to the coronavirus and demick the island's beaches unlike here were deserted for months and tourism was at rock bottom residents are now hoping for the summer season to compensate for their losses our reporter was at the island's international airport

where the 1st plane with holiday makers arrived. majorca has been waiting 3 long months for this plane carrying the 1st holiday makers since the coronavirus lockdown they're taking part in a pilot project in the shadow of the pandemic new in the arrivals terminal are the insert red cameras measuring their temperatures and the health questionnaires. summer vacation is suddenly breaking news not even when the 1st east germans arrived in majorca after the fall of the berlin wall 30 years ago wasn't such a media sensation. but i think it's because we had a total lockdown for 3 months and in that time everything that used to be normal stopped being normal. and what didn't used to be news that millions of germans were coming to majorca is now suddenly news. they receive a celebrity welcome. thomas and antonia toby arrive from ball in the

morning they patiently answer every question. but i was the flight one or the flight was fine except it was the press that was the only strange thing over 4000000 holiday makers come to the island from germany alone every year the beach resorts in particular cater to the master as them but that is not harmed majorca is popularity. antonia and thomas told or have had time at their hotel to recover from the media frenzy normally this would be peak season but now they have the beach coming out almost to themselves it's luxury at package holiday prices. nothing during a ball or money is there. they're not really bothered that majorca is popular dance clubs aren't permitted to open. actually all we wanted was to go to the beach we talk to ourselves where can we go and which borders are open and which aren't what

could be more relaxing than my work or without people. and we've earned it so much time in occupational health nurse for example that in our ward took in suspected coded cases. so we have already been through a little. emotionally as well. but we're just thankful that we can be here we were starting to climb the walls so this is a real taste of freedom. the island's hotels had been preparing for weeks to make it possible the poet the manager and a metis laws had to put the government's 21 new hygiene stipulations into practice by far the greatest challenge was the work routines and the hotel restaurants and installing partitions to protect both personnel and guests. yeah he had come and they guests won't be able to take the food themselves here

anymore. that's what they call cross contamination. so after this but there's a lot of room back there. that's where our personnel can cook the dishes and serve the food directly on to the plate to let you take the housekeeping. the 3 months of lockdown have left their mark everywhere on the island it was imposed in early spring right at the start of the vacation season many businesses in the coastal resorts haven't opened since last autumn some will probably never open again. on the beach to everything's different to make sure people keep their distance the number of beach loungers has been cut by 3 quarters the rental agent disinfects them after every guest or you go on a sunday like this the beach would normally be completely full. and that's up a bit but this is a very popular section of beach especially with families and couples to. which the

water isn't very deep and everything's nice and pleasant here. it was you know we talk normally we'd be really busy but a little more you study. most of the hotels are still closed this little fast food shop at the foot of the deserted high rise hotels reopened about 2 weeks ago it's owner emmanuel style where oh has had to adapt quickly now he takes orders on line he's still waiting for his regular customers to show up. by the holly money my god my orc as a 2nd home to many german and. others but if you take my orca away from the germans they've got a problem if you don't buy your car and i'm going to get if you take the germans away from us we've got a problem that money is. not all the islanders are as welcoming spain was hit especially hard by the corona pandemic over the last few months over 28000 people

died some people here worry that thousands of holidaymakers could bring new infections the great he says majorca is not an experimental lab you're learning the route to be honest i'm a little afraid of the tourists get up to lots of mischief but now we'll just have to get on with it then i guess that. somehow things have to return to normal but we have to be more cautious we can't change the situation but we shouldn't go back to the old times when it was so overcrowded here we need a more careful and gentler tourism. some 75 per cent of the island's economy is generated by tourism so it's vital that the hotels win back the tourists confidence but antonia and thomas still have to get used to the many new hygiene rules. oh. yes 1st disant. then put the gloves on and disinfect again bend on the masks. this really feels like being admitted to

the corona board just like at work. later at the bar on the promenade the mood is more relaxed despite the social distancing rules the couple can chat with others but most people remain cautious surveys show that most europeans still prefer not to travel abroad. one of the we've seen this time and again you know after terrorist attacks for instance. people stay away for 4 or 5 years and done prevention they get used to anything i think. and then they'll be back in full force. but i think it'll take a bit of psychological self persuasion with a lot of people who are still uncertain right now. by the time the toba wars leap into the warm waters of the mediterranean the old holiday feeling slowly returns but here on majorca nobody knows if things will ever be the same again.

1st brick set then the pandemic and now the highest covered mortality rate in europe more than $48000.00 deaths so far the u.k. already has enough problems and now the country's phone masts have been burning some brits think they're dangerous people like pierce corp and of course you knows that 5 g. technology is essential for fast and mobile internet but he also believes 5 g. is for sponsible for the spread of the virus you think that's absurd conspiracy theories are apparently finding more and more followers across the nation. at this protest at hyde park in london people are demonstrating against the lock down. and warning about a coronavirus vaccine. the man with the megaphone is the organizer for skorgen is a colorful figure among conspiracy theorists as well as the brother of journey

courting the longtime head of britain's labor party. the demonstration ends with his arrest. a week later chris corbin is back in action he's organized another rally to warn people about a vaccine against covert 19 and 5 g. wireless network technology. imposed vaccines. on the only world along with microchip. control control control associated with ford g.m. ford g monitoring the people and checking the chips put into the bodies and so forth the police are already waiting for him must gatherings are banned at the time in england everyone who shows up a cent away if appears cordon it's a bill taking a stand and not backing down. a vaccine and forgery are all connected together and we have to absolutely opposed any mandated vaccination and. role of the

fog just used as a police escort home is no real setback as this theories have been spread far and wide and so followers protest with more than words. destroyed and this is just one of many internet videos which incite people to destroy 5 g. bursts some have received hundreds of thousands of views now most are regularly being set ablaze according to their operators around 80 have been torched in the u.k. in recent weeks and destroyed. this tower and saw the hole in the west midlands was also set alight the smell of scorched electrical cables hung in the air for days now the equipment is being replaced. councillor chris williams has the feeling something's gone awry while lab repairing this mast making it usable again there was a car just stopped and just shouted out some of on it says some swear words about

how they will bend the mast down again. i hope it was a terrible joke but they said they've had other people join the day say the same thing which makes you consider that maybe somebody is actually being serious. among conspiracy theorists 5 g. phone must have come to symbolize the enemy though this isn't the 5 g. tower at all some people even believe 5 g. transmits coronavirus williams knows about these and found the theories but was still surprised by the recent attacks there are a lot of other masts being bent exactly the same time it's not every day that. gets bad but there are several not just in this region but around england all the same time this and there was a lot of social media traffic around 5 g. conspiracy theorists. on social media groups that believe 5 g. spreads covert 19 are growing i gyve labs that. did you know you did exactly like my d.h. did i killed. here when they found this out is going to kill everyone. that's right

at the hospital. how do you feel if you have to. let everyone will be dead. dylan pharrell had a similar experience here at this intersection he was sitting in a telephone or paraffine at the red light when a driver started screaming at him that 5 g. kills and that he should be ashamed and then the man jumped out of his car. i was sitting in the driver see obviously it really did shake while some want to come over but the place to try to get it and stop buying it i do wonder if i hadn't walked what would the consequences of that been if he's trying to get in the obviously wants to cause physical damage. in the u.k. there have been over 200 such incidents in recent weeks so now tell him feral and his colleagues always work in pairs for their own safety. the british government is

now trying to pass legislation to combat misinformation and conspiracy theories m.p. julia knight comes from sally hall but the phone must was set ablaze he reopened the debate earlier this month all of. 'd its. media. knowingly with. caution in the most recent. to a great cruel surge so we could just walk away from. the tory damian collins would also like to punish those conspiring to spread false info for all people orchestration campaigns to try and promote somebody suspicious he carries out people doing that i think and they should be regarded as between friends because they could do real harm to public health as a consequence of it. that could include people like purse court and one of the activists publicly proclaiming an unproven link between the kind that make and 5 g.

. now wants to organize rallies throughout britain. and i just have an antidote to conspiracy theories. let off steam probably the best remedy is to hit the dance floor it's true in many european countries and demi has brought the club scene to the steps getting into a defacto band from working but now a nightclub in the dutch town of name megan has freed itself from the sleeping beauty slumber despite distance rules it's time for social this dancing. after its long sleep the sleeping beauty nightclub has reawakened. now the venue in the city of ny mahen hopes to revive the dutch club scene. although things look a little different than they did before. we. let people experience this is. the way to used to do before the crisis. but

unfortunately we had to make some adjustments but. shares have been set up and the guests must remain seated that's because the authorities doubted that dancers who got caught up in the music would remember to stay 1.5 metres apart but the concept works even if it looks a little. maximum capacity is 30 people. d.j.'s must get in the mood quickly. as many as possible take part. what we normally do we do our set time we go to. 20 minutes 20 minutes. different but we try to. get you to feeling. 20 minutes. for sleeping beauty has been around for 50 years a social distancing will go down in the club's history books. the

experiment has paid off i guess are getting into it the organizers are relieved. it's still very cool and still people are still dancing. their fist pumping moving their bodies so it's great. for 3 months due to. so people are willing to pay 10 euro's to get back on the dance floor. because it was not until. maybe your. i think a dose of music like 20 minutes is enough yeah sure why not i mean we have these and oh when i was starting in july 100 clubbers will be allowed in at once before then we'll need to come up with a new kind of social distancing. any idea is good to bring us back to normal life and that's all from focus on your for now if you have thoughts about

this week's show to get in touch with me on twitter but i for now just.

enter the conflict zone with tim sebastian. lebanese hezbollah movement is going down or there's a terrorist group by many countries for the also has a call for political face was seats in parliament and government my guest this week from beirut is one of its politicians a very mousawi how does the self named party of god to reconcile its very different activities cold comfort zone off. from 39 hot spot d.w.m. . master some plastic waste german consumers carefully gathered separate
