6:35 am
a divider just not believe that the key is rapid response the italian government has introduced covert 19 tests and schools to provide rapid results. on a sister victoria welcome such measures the last thing they want is another lockdown and a return to home schooling your spirit and. i hope that we consume take off our masks. and not have to keep or distance from one another all the time and that is embedded. from our vets not an option. for them and their greeny tells people they must wear masks. don't make the same mistakes. i wonder when this thing will end. you know i am old and i will die soon.
6:36 am

there are people like you and they mean because they know their friends that you make is this. the chance it's really so hard to see people in europe going hungry and not knowing how they're going to make it through the crisis. and they don't know how they're going to get their children through it became the book being intolerant for you and i can relax at last she can look forward to making a better life for her children with job prospects and rents paid by greece 8 everyone should have someone like every someone who helps. swale. less work and fair pay sounds like an offer that's hard to refuse especially for truck drivers who are to least spend weeks away from their families transporting goods on tide deadlines it's an industry that employs around 60000 romanians they were to lease 10 hours in traffic jams and weekends and parking lots the e.u.
6:48 am
wants to put an end to these working conditions but as truck drivers like me and are finding out it's a road that's paved with many blind spots. on the road today in day out stephan dami in from romania has been a truck driver for 6 years crisscrossing through france germany spain a long way from home it's well paid he says but not easy to be born on the beach is some after a year or so i think i want to go back to radio. my daughter was only little. but now i realize that this is one job. stefan is in protest north of bucharest getting ready for his next trip he's getting his 40 ton truck a once over he can't afford to break down in 3 days he's delivering an order to
6:49 am
a client in france. his wife and daughter bring him clothes kitchen equipment and food for the journey. he's been doing this job for years but it's still hard to say goodbye. to stefan's a little worried use new mobility package was recently rolled out across europe and he's not sure how it will affect him what if a lot of people who told me that i'm always have been working nonstop. 5 months it's to look. that's not how truck driving works. there are around 60000 romanian truck drivers working in western europe many spin their breaks and weekends sleeping in parking lots new legislation says the employer must pay for a hotel for drivers weekend breaks and they're supposed to go back home every 3 or

4 weeks the rules are intended to ensure fair competition within the single market and prevent exploitation of eastern european truck drivers in particular. as usual there's a long tail back at the border to hungary romania is not part of the xing in area so whenever he leaves home and heads back to western europe he has to wait hours if not days to cross the border. stephan dami and won't make it over to hungary tonight he prepares his bed for the night. he's concerned about the future and what will happen if he can only work for one month at a time which. if i were shorter hours i will obviously earn much less money. than what you probably have i'm still
6:51 am
wondering whether all this makes sense within the given that if you know and she had almost a fortune but money for the family. i can't see the purpose of this anymore but on the. romanian truck drivers have been able to earn 3 or 4 times the average salary in their home country but this will probably change. we need to increase the slope of the grovers we need to pass the cost of the or mandatory hold tolls to the clients so he says that many transport companies will survive with the extra costs those which can afford it are already looking for alternatives abroad. we're already starting to move apart before where ration from rumania or western country his firm already has a branch in northern spain. stephan dami and crosses the border the next morning. a romanian official checks his papers while the hungary and officials pay
