way and critics how is the world's most powerful woman shaping how they get joining us from apple's last stop. this is deeply news live from berlin venezuelans voted for a new national assembly that the opposition boycotts the election alleging it's rigged in favor of the ruling socialist party. president nicolas maduro used the opportunity to talk about his grip on power also coming up. violence and a response on the streets of paris clashes broke out of the protest against police

brutality and the controversy will do security level a french capitol police respond to fireworks with teeth. and a heavyweight fight to remember this was going to sleep the football top 2 teams the late go the distance will tell you who came out on top lots of reigning champions find me. on the 3 held welcome when as well and president nicolas maduro is expected to tighten his grip on power in sunday's election for the national assembly the opposition is boycotting the vote contending it's rigged a victory would give madeira as united socialist party control of the last major institution in the country outside his grasp and as well has the world's largest oil reserves but is in. the midst of

a deepening economic and political crisis. is afraid since falling ill with covert 19 he suffered kidney damage and now needs dialysis martinez became sick last summer even though he's receiving treatment he fears frequent power outages in venezuela could put his life at risk to. one night was terrifying and you could hear doctors and nurses running through the hallways calling for help. if some patients were on ventilators. 3 of them died because the power went out partying as monthly salary of $85.00 covers neither the cost of his treatment nor his medication he's been forced to turn to a fundraising campaign. i mean. the treatment costs $400.00. you know and i don't have the money. and as well is mired in an economic crisis and martinez must work to feed his children he's doubtful that sunday's

parliamentary elections will bring change. i don't know if it's worth it to vote. one year ago there were high hopes that national assembly president one could force the country's ruling socialist from power but he failed to win the venezuelan military to sign 3 quarters of an as well as no longer believe that he can bring about the change of regime. has been barred from taking part in sunday's vote the country's supreme court has also oust of the leaders of his political party is calling for an election boycott. the international community including germany and the e.u. are already refusing to recognize this project until election day. but a boycott by the opposition is likely to lead to an easy victory for the socialist party following president nicolas maduro to tighten his grip on power. to some socialists also want to take legal action against opposition figures. that we will

all vote to ensure a totally read parliament will drive out the dirty unpatriotic opposition who in the last 5 years have sought to destroy the success of the revolution. martinez has been told many times not to give up hope but he fears his country could slip even deeper into crisis. has launched a large scale vaccination campaign with the brush in my book nick 5 vaccine against it 19 it comes as russia reports its highest number of new infections since the start of the pandemic the rollout is going ahead even though clinical trials have not yet been completed doctors teachers and social workers are mung the 1st in line to receive the shot now moscow correspondent emily show when caught up with one of the. to me that he signed up for the vaccination as soon as he could get it the 42 year old is healthy and says he isn't too worried about getting the

coronavirus himself but he doesn't want to be a carrier for the disease especially because he works as a social worker at a government run jobs and career center. around 200 or 300 people from all over moscow come through our center every day and we never know where they might have been and who they might have been in contact with so the likelihood of the corona virus spreading is quite high i'm able to get the vaccine so i decided to get it for my own peace of mind also for the people i'm close to my colleagues at work and the people who come to our center. to meet the he is one of thousands of people who have signed up for the shot in moscow according to authorities social workers teachers and doctors are 1st in line for it sputnik the requires patients to get to jobs around 3 weeks apart though the covert 900 vaccine is already registered along with one other russian vaccine in both cases the 3rd

and final phase of the trials has not been completed people are getting the shot anyway and the doctors at this hospital feel the rush to rollout the vaccine in russia is justified and they point out that interim research data shows sputnik v. is 95 percent effective it does them better the vaccine has some standard side effects which we also see after flu shots for example people can have a slightly higher than normal temperature and body aches which go away after one or 2 days or simply taking care of our people by vaccinating them we want to create immunity in certain sections of the population we could wait for a long time until everyone has had posted but that carries significant risks for the population. this moscow clinic is one of dozens where the coronavirus shot is ready to go in the capital after russian president vladimir putin ordered a large scale rollout last wednesday across moscow there are 70 clinics like this one where people can now get the coronavirus vaccine for russia getting this

vaccine rolled out to normal people as quickly as possible and essentially before any other country in the world is clearly a political step russia wants to show that it's a scientific superpower on the world stage. but the need isn't concerned his government could have cut corners to rush out the vaccine he's convinced it will give him immunity and stop the spread of covert 19 in russia. ok here's a roundup now of some of the other developments in the corona virus pandemic and the world health organization is warning against complacency as the vaccines begin to come online the w.h.o. says face masks and other measures will be needed for the foreseeable future australia has started mass testing its population despite scientists fearing that negative results could encourage people to ignore hygiene boules well in france and a violent protest clashes broke out as well between police and demonstrators at

protests in the capital paris among the protesters concerns is a bill proposed by the government that would make it more difficult for witnesses to film police offices while on duty the demonstrations turned chaotic on saturday as people set fire to cars broke windows and 3 objects at police. chaos on the streets of paris tensions quickly escalating to breaking point protesters came down to launch numbers most were angry but only some were violent organizers accused protest crashes of hijacking the rally and taking their frustrations out on whatever lay in their path some even used time as on the footpath to throw pieces this project on as the police. the french interior ministry says dozens of people were arrested. but earlier in the day it looked a little different a collective of trade unions youth organizations journalists and human rights

groups called the rally to protest what they say is an erosion of social rights and freedoms. we're heading towards increasingly limited freedoms which is absolutely unjustified you know that she's teaching. science must distinguish itself as being at the core of great democracies it often has this habit of coping freedoms while preaching their reporting is to others. while the reasons for demonstrating were diverse most with their to protest against a controversial new security law proposed by the government one particular how to go in the draft law would limit the right to take video recordings of police officers the government is bound to public pressure and a great to rewrite it but activists are demanding it be deleted completely. a day before the protests president mccaughan appeared on social media he defended the

proposal. but risky even if this article $24.00 were to restrict the freedoms of expression it would be ineffective because everybody would broadcast the pictures of police officers from belgium or other places so people have a stake in about the real debate going to be that if they thought this weekend's protests come a week after similar demonstrations drew hundreds of thousands of people nationwide leaving many asking the question how much longer they could continue into the future. ok let's take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines in other places around the world. president donald trump has been speaking in the state of georgia at his 1st rally since being defeated in last month's election the outgoing president falsely claimed he won the vote in the state from those in georgia to support 2 republican senators taking part in runoff elections next month. european commission president on the line says u.k. and e.u.

breaks that negotiators will continue their try talks in brussels on sunday it follows a phone call with british prime minister barres johnson in a bid to break the deadlock over a potential deal there are just weeks left until the break the transition period ends on december 31st a british extreme athlete has climbed bossa one as iconic. with the use of safety equipment. george king took 40 minutes to scale the $33.00 stories and returned to the ground he planned on wearing a santa claus costumed decided it would be safer without. the bond is like a football now where a match up of the top 2 clubs in the league absolutely lived up to the hot this time by many cars that lot see in a game that was far from perfect on the pitch but for fans the white until matchday tend to say they state teams go head to head was well and truly with. the true battle of the going to sleep as heavyweights in munich and for biron keeper man

well neuer it was a rough ride from the start a decision he'll hope to forget led to leipzig 1st goal. he left the line to head off christopher in cuckoo but he sure didn't get there on time. his side rebounded with 17 year old jamal most eola i in the 38th minute right-wing the ball into the bottom right corner after that biron took the lead but this time you just might see quickly bringing it back to level just in closer alone in front of neuer and to to work the half. second half neuer again left without any help as emil forsberg howlers in the header. once more byron's defenses bailed out by the attack kinsley coming crosses to muller in front he goes high to head in the equaliser 33 and that's how it is smaller 2nd goal tonight commons 3rd assist saves a point for the league leaders muller in leipzig coach helion not those men know

biron is fortunate to stay on top. well to talk more about that remarkable game mark oregon from database sport is joining us mark could have you with us might cannot read into that that the reigning us league and european champions by starting to show just a couple of sons of strength that will surely know well if you look at their goals for colon you wouldn't even think it was anything any difference many other season 10 games go on 34 goals scored a secret of ridge as the goals against colvin this looking a bit odd 16 conceded in the forests and the top 6 teams in the bindis league. that's the most schools conceded so that's where they're struggling a little bit in defense very uncharacteristic of the likes of manuel neuer usually so commanding presence coming like a fire engine going to their own fire. scored in their 1st school very uncharacteristic for byron so he's not weaken his old self look at his old

self is too much. who pops up again and saves them at the end with their sleeves saves a point as he has done recently so shades of the old shades of. the terrifying or a disquieting new byron let's say yeah exactly it's not the script that's the show twice take the lead but surely that is sitting around absolutely kicking themselves to the head at that a big shot well they certainly did and if you you know if you look at the goal that they scored to go 32 off as a header from from enough real collector's item you think the gold just might win on his little diminutive number 10 popping off for the bucket was the head oh surely this is going to be the winner but as we said by enough to most miller they've got that stay in power the champions have i think what they really wanted was a signature victory you know going for their 1st ever title trying to stop by and for the 1st time in 8 years. they really needed not signature victory and that's what they would have got going to munich in getting those 3 points passed up as

a very very tough one to take they still in touch still just 2 points off the top but. live to fight another day and you could live to regret. it feels like 2 points lost thanks so much thank you. you're watching david lee news up next to sports last stick around for that larry on the given sting will be back with more news headlines at the top of the alpha now from a halfway house and the team here in berlin thanks for watching. my 1st by say moses sewing machine. where i come from women are bound by this ocean to remember something as simple as learning how to write a by side that isn't. since i was a little guy i wanted to have a bicycle off my home but it took me estimates that. finally they gave up invented

by me and i say this but 3 times because sewing machine sewing i suppose was more apropos really to put those than writing about as now i want to meet those women back home who are bound by them to think and social rules and inform them about that piece of writes my name is the amount of people and i work.

on the surface boxing is all about lending as many punches as possible on your opponent and ideally knocking them out. some critics even say it should be banned but boxing is also a sport that. helps people overcome difficulties and find in a strength and can prevent them from going off the rails. we talked to poor kurt and saskia belgian 2 people from munich for whom boxing has provided a new opportunity. buraq now 30 is from munich in the neighborhood he grew up in disputes were often resolved through violence. if you're online you can go to the one i mean you know i thought the sunshine of my team there were a few of us in a few of them but it came down to a one on one with me and it was only when i saw his blood on the ground that i actually began to enjoy it. a couple of older guys had contacts to hooligan

groups the so-called 3rd half and i asked whether i could join by the time i was 15 or 16 i was only able to control my aggression anymore there'd be a capo to arrange how many where and when then we'd meet and smack each other up and taking on people with a reputation in doing a minute just dealt with. by one politician who. has 27 criminal convictions and a struggle to get back on the straight and narrow. he's now a rare sight here at the 860 lions boxing club in unique unlike saskia virgin who hails from the same neighborhood as book she's not had it easy but has managed to take a different path. yet there's a place in north to get really bad grades and didn't pass my school leaving

qualifications. to shaft. so i don't pulled myself together. if you do a lot of sport including competitive sport but it makes you tougher psychologically . and that's one of that's why i decided to keep at it regardless of what doesn't work out a play here is why it's the same 10 attempts but i'd rather have that then fail. that's why i decided to study here and realize my dream woman. and then call me here. and buraq right now seem to be 2 very different individuals but i have a lot in common. and even went to the same kindergarten. years later they were the boxing club where the coach became

a mental football. all to be moved up closer. friends was up and he took us monthly and. alex who could is my coach but i call him my best friend and my helper. turned 60 this year. he's constantly in contact with young people through the coaching and the aggression management he does. stand there and you can see how that rubs off on him. sometimes he behaves like some cool young guy he knows how to find the middle ground he's strict with us but also really chilled. strength. in my school as you know it's primarily about not getting hit not necessarily hitting your opponent. stay out of trouble for my car but i do think

ali is a real watcher he watches and then intervenes at the right moment he's down to 80 people and i'm one of them. that is nothing. but a lot of the things that come up i fall for you know this commitment is so important and he doesn't need power or some halo it's being there for you that matters it's something you can't really describe other was just brown as a youth are common to both of us and. you know what you steal i wish you the best of health this year and you're not only here. to come you know give them this like. you got this i noticed that last year was missing something also from talking to her a phenomenon she needed

a new family and good friends and that's something we can give people that we are one big pride of lions here here. they cause that looks like. the toughest setback was when my dad died in an accident i was still a child. when i was 5 or 6 i played tennis with him now and again. but afterwards i lost all interest in tennis and sport in general my. coming in now i know exactly what day it was january 8th 2009 and since then i've been in love with the sport i think about it every single day.

you know there's a felony she didn't have enough confidence and we helped her to make that breakthrough. with both yourself. up to the thoughts here saskia is a gem right now but can you put in your pocket in savor when you're down in the park. watch my him he. just. got mcmahon songs on his knee when i was 21 my dating broke up and i didn't know what to do with myself and my aggression. coupled with when i. was. boxing i'm fine boxing at the club taught me what it really means you realize that the techniques you learn here are not meant for the streets. because it's just one click this is a sports. fan but i used to think it was just about fist fighting this kind but now

i see it as a serious sports with. distance from broken applies to what from. milwaukee or go to local i'll serve with these people are trying to do that and i see their aggression and tell them to do a bit of sparring but again someone good not someone nobody. really come out on the right and that's also got to know his limits they'll always be someone better the new method with all the ways that truck. muscle. is found in the i'm not the sort of the staff if i only found out you'd been in a street brawl you'd be more afraid of him then them. because he'd humiliate you in

front of the whole group. before you felt awkward and it would be so hard to face ali again. to be easily guy who protect sirrah and i mediate who gets into trouble . there are various ways to get the next hole dish. alley knows exactly how to connect with his charges mentally that means talking tough if need be and with 2 that has brought progress. in 2016 ali organized a trip to ghana for his body in boxes a trick that was captured on camera in a documentary film called lion hearted. not valid one. the trip to ghana was a profound experience for me i'll never forget it. trinny my stuff to call my never would have thought of boxing in ghana and i couldn't even

find it on a map of africa. and then with my broken english of about 2 words it was pretty funny. cause in the church i'm sure that this would take you. to death i'll. toss a 2nd on my own. i suppose and. his team trained with a group of local boxes l h a cool wanted them to see a different world in order to get a better appreciation of their own one and it paid off. saskia durex can identify with the youngsters back home too and hopefully i can help them. find experienced a lot through parsing and i think it's really important to pass that on to others

and i learned so much at boxing school back then technique and stamina. it's something i just have to share. in those and i need to stop that from kids are a reflection of you and what you want them to become and i want the kids i deal with to really get ahead in life so instead of coaching pros i want to coach kids paul fishman a book sort of thing you can that. it's been 4 years since the trip to ghana and boruc hasn't been seen at the club for ages he's even considered joining the french foreign legion. is that compatible with the principles he learnt here. mr let's enter the fray.

and i. can listen on tyler moore a decent person at heart and it's the decent brokers you need to bring to the floor for you or anybody else for the stuff about the foreign legion i could smack you one. for. me and yet say you know they have i think. has managed to get poorer back into this proud pride of lions together with saskia the prodigal son will be coaching kids on a regular basis that. time will tell how poor x. story continues but he did keep coming to the club after we stopped filming to. think of mother earth to me i always hear things like oh no saskia don't hit me that's a lot of most of i then ask people if they've ever done any boxing or i know what it actually involves and if they say no. then for me the conversation is over to the.

past or all to in spite of. his close relatives are allowed to visit their loved ones are pastors more important now than i am they provide support and shimon connection despite the protective suit me and sometimes to the only ones who will be there until the family. name means to digitally and. it looks like a monet. but it's really the work of. the wide. 11 year old painter just like the great master himself. and donates the money she raises with her paintings to a good cause. with great pics as. the

romance. in 60 minutes on t.w. literature invites us to see people in particular that i like to see myself as the kids find the strength grown up her. might object to her is to share with a friend beautiful. to do the books on youtube. this spring of 2020 as cases of covert 19 increase in germany so do the number of patients in i.c.u. use and isolation wards relatives and chaplains are prevented from visiting the

sick and dying. as for you of course it troubles the relatives they ask who was with my father my brother my son now what should have to die for. germany's health care system has risen to the challenge many critically ill patients have been saved but many people dying of covert have been denied visitors for weeks on end. and we've seen this medicine can heal the body but the soul requires love for it to heal and that's what is being neglected here those stories for us these are the thoughts of. what needs to be done so that covert patients and their relatives don't suffer psychological trauma. patient is transferred to the kobold center at the university hospital in essen

western germany currently there are 12 patients being treated here the new patient is unusual he's just 29 years old. this is a patient who's come from some distance away he was receiving noninvasive breathing assessed as but it was insufficient we've connected an artificial long put him on life support of the woman he was brought here. a helicopter with. this 29 year old patient isn't in a high risk category yet each day the doctors discover more alarming symptoms the sars kovi 2 virus is not only attacking his lungs his heart liver kidneys and probably his nervous system are also affected the doctors are worried. what i have when somebody so ill that they need assisted rethink by means of an

artificial along with their in a dangerous condition or hear about a 3rd of such patients die this is a case for concern. on their rounds doctors observed the young man through a window if only certain nursing staff and specialist positions are permitted to enter the intensive care unit and then only with personal protective equipment all the patients on the i.c.u. ward are completely isolated even those who aren't infected with kovac the isolation can last for weeks. the patients are very stressed when they're awake they're alone a locked in a rooms of all everyone who enters has to be totally masked so the staff don't enter as often as they would normally be opening the door and looking in so that the patient doesn't feel so alone alive as if a relative or hospital chaplain is only permitted to see the patient when the doctors have given up hope but the patient often dies before that final visit this

and that to me and that's very painful the hospital chaplains in. as well and very hard for the relatives so and it's no longer possible. extreme it's part of our culture not to leave the time and i will die and that's why it would emotion. make light on a common. 87 year old gilford hoax and his son georg known what dying. in isolation means. this little courtyard was on a marine is pride and joy it was her garden she was built for it hooks wife. that's our wedding photo. for. ana marie and guilford hawks got married in 1963 they had 2 children whose picture was taken on their golden wedding anniversary in the 1st months of 2020 ana marie was taken to hospital the doctors

diagnosed acute blood poisoning she was taken to the i.c.u. her condition seemed critical but she could still receive visitors. live. or you could bring her on an artificial long was a difficult step or those low. that was the last time i saw her alive or. no she wasn't conscious but i was able to hold her hand and i could tell that she knew i was there. sadly that was the last time i saw her. with the pandemic restrictions everything stopped. for me the worst was that i couldn't visit my wife mother for. those who drove. march the 16th a monday germany imposes on lockdown schools and kindergartens clothes factory shut down the hawks find themselves standing in front of closed doors at the hospital visits are no longer permitted. timor zelman is head physician at the intensive

care unit ana marie hooks is one of his patients she has tested negative for coven but the whole hospital is in lockdown even close relatives are not permitted to visit. i think relatives play an important role in the healing and care process in stevenson nobody knows the patient better than their own relatives no one is more familiar to them than the partner or the children you know. but at that time it was absolutely impossible which i regret deeply she says that although. the result was often traumatic. we think it does this into our protests or at least accomplish i think it complicates the process of grieving. for one thing people feel guilty if i wasn't there i couldn't be there. also because certain things couldn't be sad or experience.

things that help with the grieving process and for help relatives to accept the panting and the lockdown certainly made it harder to come and decide to see. annamarie hook's didn't appear to be dying so the doctors didn't summon her relatives. so it soon became clear that in the alley a tip situations where the patient is expected to die quite soon relatives could be permitted to visit them again but this patient wasn't in that situation at all films. after 50 days in the i.c.u. annamarie hoax is sent back to a non intensive ward she knows nothing about the lockdown regulations outside she can't understand why she's been placed in isolation on top of that she's hard of hearing so she can't really follow a telephone conversation. with the house more for we did try when the nurse

it's your son she said oh georg when are you coming to visit me. if you can't come this morning can you come this afternoon wish those who could. and i realized she's not understanding what this pandemic means we hear all the banning of visits from the door to. prison for. she received good medical attention but for more than 7 weeks neither the chaplain nor any of her relatives could visit her. then unexpectedly an ameri hooks died alone. for holmes the surely surely for we abandoned her somehow increase the loss and. more and that still hurts. us. they'll fruit and georg folks know that they're not alone in this situation during the 1st phase of the pandemic some 2000 hospitals and about 12000 senior

citizens residences in germany who are in lockdown for several weeks hundreds of people died like ana marie hawkes without comforting words spiritual solace or the consolation of relatives that's this mayor who will be lasting side this can cause stress in later life. we see it in our walk with patients from the psychosomatic department the people from out of including where the subject of grief dominate our conversation is dumb enough to team up there is the limit isn't parts in the grieving process is. prevented from occurring let it be for him then 5 or 10 years later they return sometimes in the context of a depression which i meant that if you know what and i have to be walked through again was in his i can well imagine is happening as a result of the pandemic and. you would think that. the hoax family feel a mixture of sadness and guilt they have to deal with a death where there was no opportunity to say goodbye it makes bill fred hooks

angry. unfortunately there was no opportunity to talk because of the terrible situation and it still weighs heavy on me that they prevented it all they are humanly speaking a disaster the catalyst for. the 100 years having us on the highway we always stuck to the rules. in retrospect i think we shouldn't have. had to last i realize now that maybe i should have fought for my father to be allowed to visit it and that we shouldn't have simply accepted what the authorities said or. annamarie daughter lives more than 3 hours drive from her parents' home when she heard that her mother had died she set off immediately not realizing that the distancing regulations extended even beyond the point of death but inside the house and i am not at that point i didn't know it was

really the end. that i wouldn't be able to see her again i expected to be able to see her if you know paula that the. funeral directors had strict orders once the coffin was closed it should not be opened under any circumstances no further contact not even a glance at the body hospital chaplains argue that more humane methods must be found even in the midst of a pandemic. by man moved shouldn't forget that hospital chaplains are used to dealing with agents who are in isolation or for where we are how to protect ourselves from becoming infected or as is for the count of the situation regularly and hospital and in differing scenarios your i'd say the whole situation was a bit more threatening than other situations because it was a collective threat and it was experience of the sonship. let's look at

an example this hospital chaplain in essen was summoned to the i.c.u. to see a covert patient. he starts on how to mr act. against the tony award contacted me directly because i was on duty and i rushed over to a common busking i actually it wasn't complicated i was mad as usual you own and they explained to me that the patient wasn't a church goer but that his faith was important to him in fact what kind also his connection with the evan jellicoe church was different sort of formulation. has been done i put on the protective clothing quickly including the f.f.t. to mask and was taken to the room where this elderly patient lay lark i then removed my mask for a moment so that he could see my face like a normal bit of mine because it seemed khan and interested and i noticed that when i spoke about his family he was very moved. but i could sense it but we're out.

here is fun to talk and on the following day he died yesterday i also had the opportunity to speak to his relatives on the phone and tell them about it will be i got the impression that it comforted them to know that their father hadn't passed from this life without christian consolation all of these incarcerations all 4 horses and leave him regardless. but even though hospital chaplains can sometimes stretch the regulations the painful dilemma continues at funerals. when the urn containing ana marie cox ashes was taken to the cemetery no more than a dozen mourners were allowed to attend. talwar here it is difficult and sad to have to say goodbye. tough

weekend they're here in the cemetery during unusual times i. fall we would have liked to honor your wife or mother and your grandmother with a grand funeral if i advised. that's not possible at present the whole want to get even in these limited circumstances let us give the departed a worthy sendoff of them for this good night katie. hawks have many friends in the town they belong to clubs and to the church in normal circumstances there would have been more than $100.00 mourners at the funeral. on a memory hooks faced death alone now in the cemetery it's her family who are left alone with their grief. the funeral takes place on what would have been the couple's 57th wedding anniversary they had never been separated

for long but in the 7 weeks before her death they were unable to see each other. that's how you know when having like a time it's just as i was very sad when i heard that very you know normally he could have visited her in a non intensive ward. or can you can usually visit in daytime toss you what you might but not now. they were married for 57 years and then he couldn't see her at the end want to marry and and it's talking to him i think that's very very sad from the scholem's as a toddler. a senior citizens residence in western germany in the spring of 2020 visits are banned since people over 60 are at high risk on a lawyer i shot had been living here for about 2 years. she feels quite happy with sundra call of god to take care of her the management has assigned specific staff

to individual residents to minimize the risk of infection. for some weeks one or more a son martin has only seen his mother from a distance. ironically he lives close by before the covert outbreaks he used to take one afternoon a week off work to give his mother an outing they used to cook up a dinner in his small kitchen and played board games afterwards his mother looked forward to it. it was green zones my always went on a monday but not anymore. it's hard. now we can only talk with him outside and me inside i know she says she felt lonely going i miss my family but we have to get used to it. with you can't do anything about it only cooperate and meet is no alternative.

basically we're neighbors 1st of all. just imagine if there weren't any leaves on the trees we'd be able to wave to each other in the residence as less than a kilometer away as the crow flies it's not far away at all but it might as well be on the other side of the moon. we don't meet up we can't. swim and. suddenly the situation becomes dramatic 5 residents die within a few days of each other as a result of covert 1900 or high shark has made friends with another resident the 2 women have spent a lot of time together. form a top ana laura and her nurse talk about how the 2 friends used to be together throughout the morning and afternoon. they had had breakfast and even lunch

together as usual when suddenly her friend was taken to the hospital just before their afternoon coffee and. you know of 1. 3 days later on a moron learns that her friend has died in the hospital. good to see the. planets and i couldn't say goodbye to her she was such a lovely person when i came here she made herself available immediately helped me with all sorts of things i'm really very sad that she died since truth we have no place to be.
