we are working tirelessly to keep you informed on all of our platforms are all in this. together make it. stay safe everybody. stay safe stay safe the priest says. it was weird at 1st sitting in the park walking down the road switching sides to avoid people awkward scenes at supermarkets like a computer game one step forward one step back but who would have thought social distancing will go so far as affecting what we see on our t.v. screens. in tons of social.

brands have has created executions that have been nice the. kentucky fried chicken. is probably not. in the united states digital advertising spend has dropped by a 3rd traditional media. but. right now i'll try to about messaging to let people know whether or not i still functioning still operate saying. they can still work together and they sort of adapted to the current situation. you are even

now. today and sanitizing are the rage. of life with the coronavirus seen through the. advertising. a metre and a half all 6 feet if you're from the us i'm sick of hearing it i need a hug you know going to get that of work after you get home if you've got someone to give you a hug that is all someone who's prepared to give you a hug or even a reassuring pat on the back in the meantime the business of distance has invaded every aspect of our personal and professional lives but at what cost the costs in

the film industry were already extraordinary now they've gone through the roof scripts need a total rewrite how do you convey emotion in the age of the coronavirus act out a love story without this is the. plot a crime series where the murderer can't actually lay hands on a victim because of social distancing some productions have started filming again but as i found out under very different circumstances. it is totally bizarre. there's no stabbing no strangling no fistfight. maybe. there is no handcuffing. me it is all quick i mean it's it's

a crime mystery. scenario where nobody's actually getting closer than 150 my name is always chara i'm a screenwriter and i live in berlin. so there's a scene from a precursor on a script. 986 in western angola the morning sun blazing 10 roubles a menorah on the back of a truck squeezed in between big wooden crates menorah tries hard to avoid body contact no chance it's skin on skin everyone sweating heavily for one of these men . going to do to her. and now this is a corona script. leipsic if you 1020 the steel door opening with a metallic screech you see on day. 6 feet behind him richie pointing a rifle at andreas back richie follows him inside keeping a safe distance and knowing that his hostage is much stronger than. don't even try and trick me and i will shoot again. i can write

a murder mystery even the killer keeps us to some sponsons so. with a long shotgun or poisoning. i want to have an arrow you have creatively it's been quite a challenge and it will be a challenge. as to why no kissing ever. gets. filmed said she usually are just buzzing with people running around each other stumbling into each other keep their distance from i was going to say i think it's very physical and includes working together closely with other people literally closely that's not possible anymore and it's omni present because i don't live on and would often i play dolly wagner in red roses and painting and. i had just finished. conquering the rest your father told me

i said in the end when you're acting you don't want to feel like you're on set i'm set but this little voice in your head says keep your distance one and a half meters one and a half meters you're always aware that you're acting and that's a constraint because. you're presenting number to remove your masks 10 minute break get some fresh air out of it i don't know who i was getting the good the young but i've been playing thomas young son for 14 years in a new book is my home i want to stay here it's just another thing i have to thing. get out i have my lines the scene my screen partner the set. and then suddenly someone yells from behind one meter 50 like some kind of commandant commandant so i'm done stripping him of so it startles you and totally throws you off yeah that was too close and sanaa ish and i'm eddie i'm the floor manager but they call me yards to get it. as i spent 80 percent of the day brandishing my yardstick

constantly reminding people come on guys maintain a distance put it off how do you know shrunk let us put the problem is that we have to completely rethink our usual routines filming has totally changed and so i decided to toughen up this is totally unexpected great. guy what should takes longer and costs more in part and we were in crisis mode and we had to come up with a completely different way of producing lodged. you know i mean walking cause i manage and director of serial drama. i can't you can't make movies without insurance and a pandemic like over 19 is not insured exacts a risk it's something we have to discuss with clients and more importantly with policymakers hopefully will soon be at least partially insured. is it worth taking that risk at the end of the day. being totally there's no sense of not filming you

have to do it differently on taking every single project into account on an individual basis i stand behind my baton we've set up a crisis team that draws up an action plan for every production in conjunction with our company doctor to establish who gets tested when and how often v.f. it via an invasion but most contested a lot of money is being put into the project that the audience doesn't see so the film will be more expensive and i will look cheaper probably even at us when i don't think anyone will notice the difference so even airbrushed out the plexiglas during the kiss in a wedding scene no i don't think people will notice it will look a bit awkward people will move on quickly there are tricks you can use in a way you set up cameras film is about creating allusions feel it was your own that sort. of that is there anything you miss. yes physical contact i missed that i meant is that humans are social creatures and

you always have the urge to shake someone's hand or hug a friend and that's not allowed that's a real pain this is stuart maslow's. fighting with scripts have to be written cleverly so it makes sense for us to be one and a half meters away from each other and i don't need to options there's no sex obviously having the audience imagine a sex scene with another to believe getting close to it. that's a lot of work for me to you know to create a codified in take some of the daily soaps even. have improvements because you have to tell a love story in a different way for the 17th time it's been quite exciting and positive it was you know it was actually a creative challenge. but i wouldn't want to go on like this at my age it's better to do fewer sex scenes. you know it's kind of weird specially if it's an emotional moment and you usually embrace someone or

a love scene like here use pierson seen here shut up i want to sleep. take lights out we're just glad to be filming again and being in the process every day makes you realize again and again how serious the entire situation is i don't think people gets careless quite the contrary i think it makes you realize even more that this is not over but this will be with us for a while it's who you are is a reassured that we're keeping our distance yes mom i will yeah but at some point it will just look awkward we could keep going on like this for another 3 or 4 weeks but then it would have to return to normal otherwise it's just not credible anymore . otherwise what sort of products will if you will get. very distanced one is the best product by a mile looked. at. some of us have always walked around like we're in a bubble totally unaware of anyone else around us it's nice people are finally realizing

that they're not the only ones on this planet. others will never learn with or without a pandemic and when it comes to social distancing well it's really nothing new in fact they were always informal rules that most of us followed up to 40 centimeters tends to be the standard among family members one and a half meters a comfortable space between friends up to 4 meat is strange is and more than 4 metres for interacting with a bigger group of the generally accepted social parameters here in europe and north america in other parts of the world people like to get even closer although european style is already too close for me in australia we've got a lot most space and it's usually too hot to get too close anyway i always found sitting right next to a stranger in the dock in a cinema though a little unnerving and now it's a no go in karate types which is why dr ian movies are enjoying a revival. with protests and creative ideas event

organizers are fighting for their very livelihoods. this is kevan park and christiane blue's his new office parking lot near berlin so many big stadium they lost their jobs in the coronavirus crisis but they weren't willing to sit back and let things happen. this isn't like you have to always be at festivals and concerts setting up walls operating camera and video technology so then in february when the news 1st started coming in and lots of things were canceled we fell into a deep depression. for 2 weeks it felt a bit like a staycation that was something new and we're always open to new things now 2 weeks it was a new anymore and we started to consider what we could do for. a drive in movies everyone sits in their cars so we file the application and. the formalities were

tough but we were tougher. and their new company is called car owner and is comprised of former colleagues at the start of june they launched their drive in cinema the only one of its kind in berlin. but nothing for and after the film go back on stage and do a q. and a and answer questions from the fans. complying with the coronavirus safety regulations shouldn't get in the way of moviegoers having a good time. to stop says the service here is so sweet they will show when children come around selling ice cream we've brought her in provisions and we're really looking forward to. the drive and aims to please. and save jobs prison and one of the only firms that hasn't fired people in the crisis in. stead we've hired close to 20 people fast

fancy already understood or given incredibly happy to be working again you can see the joy written all over our faces. stock it's because the. indoor social distancing is harder to handle so many events have been canceled or forced to go on line artists event managers and stage hands are demonstrating for more government assistance they often work for small agencies or are self-employed and now fear for their livelihoods. managing 15 of course we have a lot fewer commissions it's a difficult time for the industry right now a lot of the moment. i'm sure it's a tough situation because you've got to eat. i have a child to feed on but. somehow life must go on by that gave us momma i could start doing odd jobs and go on welfare but i've been self employed for 25 years i've never wanted to apply for welfare. across germany some

2000000 people share a similar fate. at the drive in there showing a new film the premier with the actors and the director wasn't as glamorous as usual still the crew is happy. this is one of those and it's a sign that cinema isn't dead and that we need to support it in any way possible so we got out of meaningful we were one of the few films to actually profit from the crisis because we released it when everyone else was too afraid to we opened on may 20th and ours was the only film around for 3 or 4 weeks. so i feel all. the film man from beirut tells the story of a blind hitman and follows his heart. on whether this dog was a visitor this was service or you said a little. art house film profits while cinema fans rejoice about the revival of

drive ins and the organizers are happy that at least they're not losing money. for them the main thing is to save at least a few jobs with a good idea. and despite coronavirus to remain optimistic. about one of the good thing about this business is we're used to react too quickly and we use just setting up and dismantling things fast so i'm quite confident we'll be able to use that strength to change things we can confide in the most important thing is that we're giving these people what they need every night out drive away from here with a smile on their faces and that will never change and neither will our work. but what happens in the winter in the office they're making plans. think or something we'll look at the easing of measures as closely as we did the restrictions back

then and come up with a plan for sure. lots of businesses are having to come up with a plan b. and as we just heard some a frightening that's also true for the one in this next report while farmers struggle to find workers to tend to their fields in times of corn to help could quite literally come from above. could this be the future of aquaculture. is the fastest the easiest and the simplest we to apply chemicals. this is the capital of god one big problem in west africa is how to ensure food security for a rapidly growing population. start up aqua meyer has been producing drones for farming for 2 years now. c.e.o. edam ave mega is preparing for the firm's next job.

so i'm going to 2nd nose as this is such i did a part of the doing that sprinkling of the chemical liquid gold what their weight is they want to apply and defines. the coronavirus crisis has turned his drone business on its head there was a nice not disinfection exercise where the government contracted us in but my ship would soon i own to spray my kids. so against playgrounds we had our jobs to do. in outside on us so we would get there from job in the ivory coast before they love down hopping and unfortunately for us there but this often i'll be all out there recess. and i because when they were to come home to raise if you've got a job. he and his team are now heading east to a big farm they can afford to use pesticides and drones. at the flea.

well. first this is their 1st time here and they want to test how well the drone works in the area. major challenges we face and we experience a little if it's here is if i got i.d.p.'s system down here is not very stable for some time to book for new and in appreciating difficult of course the g.p.s. system this is is not working very well so it's difficult to get application down for a. few days at all poku a bobby o. has had trouble finding workers in the pandemic so he's planning to use drones in the future. so they look down somewhere 3 so we're able to commute from a couple to the farm so we missed a lot of spring time but. this right of 1000 open up with a devoted drones payload rosebery if they would to save the file my little time and what we're going to get it was what time. the service costs around $20.00 euros per

hectare are a lot of money in ghana when compared to conventional methods the drone uses less pesticide and the farmer doesn't need to hire anyone to do the spraying but it will take time for farmers here to accept and adopt a technology quite difficult getting them to embrace it and then they don't also understand how did drawing for example would do their work effectively because for them gets in direct contact with air so is there much effect to we are that down there doing flying over i had to feel that their dream flying over i had cargo to do the application proper so it's quite tedious if you young farmers like david himself be africa by the technology so it's easier for us to call them the deciding factor will be whether or not it improves the harvest the drone developers say the technology can increase yield by as much as 40 percent the drones spray the entire crop with pesticide so there's no loss to the infestations that alone can make it

worth the price. flying through the air but something a lot of us had started to take for granted and then suddenly travel and tourism was brought to a standstill now will be globetrotters all around the world are stuck at home still craving a chance to see lads a far i feel of myself well today's technology is so sophisticated maybe it can take us to those places we want to go the question is is that an adequate substitute for the real thing. even headfirst into the virtual world can we really go on a journey without travelling and how does it feel i'm giving it a try. i've always travelled as a reporter but i've also travelled a lot in my free time i've backpacked through asia and australia. and i'm starting

to get it she feet again i would say that times have changed i take a church to the id experts at the university of hamburg french dynaco runs a research group studying human computer interaction i'm going to take a trip in his virtual reality laboratory. teleport at the touch of a button i can fly anywhere i desire automatically. i'm back at the old a rock formation in the australian outback. while. the view is incredible. but it's not australia i can't feel the hot wind or hear any animals. i travel to the all goes almost 20 years ago we spent many a night out in the open it was

a journey outside of my comfort zone and one on never forget it was heart and not all the animals were friendly you can ever have virtual experiences like that ok. we mostly experience things with our eyes and ears you have no sense of touch or temperature here to include all the senses you'd need to wear special equipment like a data suit data gloves and lots of cables that's not what we're aiming for and it's not really available yet anyway because it is but virtual reality does make more extreme traveling possible i can take a drive on the moon for example or i can climb mount everest things i could never do in real life. in the gaming industry as a cutting edge of virtual reality towards in one game well traveler my avatar randomly land somewhere on the planet my job is to figure out where i am.

the tourism industry hardly uses virtual reality a tool but it's dealing with other problems at the moment due to the coronavirus pandemic and the other problems lie ahead technology is moving forward and of rapid pace many believe that in the not too distant future such will johnnie's will become competition for tourism and the real wild. card in the next 510 or 20 years will have virtual worlds that you won't be able to distinguish from real life at least in terms of sound insight as much so that means we'll have to develop a new sense to know if something's real not exactly and it's interesting ethically i may always have to tell people that the reality is virtual real and we're always having problems like that today i can't tell if the nooses fake or a photos have been retouched and we are technologies of the future will bring them to a whole new level. mixing up realities that won't happen to me it's easy for me to

tell that this journey is virtual it's great but i feel sick now i need a break. sometimes your movement in the real world doesn't match what you're experiencing in the virtual world it can lead to a conflict of the senses you're visually experiencing something different than the body is and it can lead to feeling a bit queasy that was exciting but i'd rather travel in the real world this year i'm going to go on a bike tour it's good for social distancing and good for the environment. it's no argument about whether it's real or virtual i really do miss a stranger right now nice to share this space with you though today at a safe distance of course and we've always had a protective screen between us you knew me to become the preferred option to be sure to visit our website or send us a comment on twitter or facebook thanks for joining us so you get to.
