for a new trick monarch. tend to. the scene of when the train. starts december 25th. a 20 metre cliff a couple of ropes freezing cold water and me trying to cope with all of that i did make it down in the end but this outing with a couple of guys really had me testing my limits and that's precisely our topic

this week on made leaving the comfort zone i'm chris colfer welcome we don't want to be bogged down with details do we it is the result that counts well sometimes it's the details that unveil an inconvenient truth take meat production we know that for us to be able to slap that steak on our grill and animal needs to die often enough in anything but a gentle or respectful way our reporter and added meat lover decided he wants to leave his comfort zone and does want to know how the sausage gets made literally a word of warning the report contains scenes some viewers may find disturbing. i am going to slaughter one of these animals they belong to vandalize. he farms sheep the traditional way his family has been doing this since 750. his sheep are

out to pasture for most of the year. but it's hard to find enough grazing land. in. the sheep need about a hector hector a day that is he didn't talk. every day yes or hector for 700 sheep. so this whole field is only enough for today. when they've had their fill the flock will go home to the farm. i hope they won't so i'm going to slaughter. oh yes this one is bigger it's 6 months old and weighs about 40 kilos.

i'm grappling with the fact that we kill animals so we can eat meat and then i'm going to kill this lamb. i had no idea how quickly they grow. i really don't ever come to this. first we have to take it to the slaughterhouse. that you really can feel small to kilograms. it's a 10 minute drive nothing in comparison to the lengthy journeys to the slaughterhouse that livestock often face marco care will be by my side throughout the process he's been a butcher for more than 10 years and he only slaughters what people bring him for their own consumption like this lamb that i've bought. there was a light for you the 1st time. you don't forget the 1st time i had to leave the room

it was all a bit much. not because of the blood but the fact that an animal is dying. video as the voice you don't really grasp until you see it and when it's done somebody comes on do it. but we manage the shop. yourself. marco shows me how to use a bolt gun. it destroys the sheep's brain 'd and it won't feel anything afterwards . all locked up in the one hold it loosely and then press once c. that's that was it. that's like a real gun. and

now the lamb's head is in the firing line. or is going on like it was the. highest point draw a line there. think of it chicken fingers away think of it now. on the head and pull the trigger. it's a. knife slicing through all the way. and again it's not an. that's a lot. that's a lot of blood. but.

that was it it's over. so i was us. it's all happening so. i think on it. i've killed an animal. but. really. but

that was just the 1st step we're still a long way from having any chops or sausages. first cut off the head then the legs and the pelt that's easier than i'd expected. this isn't mass production. and it's what makes it sustainable people approach the holding in a different way especially with an animal like this. you know. we still need to get rid of the guts. now it's left to hang overnight that makes it easier to process. i think what happened back in that slaughterhouse. 4 ever be. the noise. the smell but it's the only way that

sustainably eating meat is actually possible because doing this in the masses of me today is absolutely impossible. but still for me. i don't really know if i'm ever going to walk into a supermarket again and be like yeah i'm going to eat that me. the next morning it's time to harvest the meat we've worked so hard for. taking the carcass apart isn't any easier it turns out. and there goes this was. about 20 kilograms of the lamb are lost in the process mainly the pelt and the guts .

that looks great. how about a sausage for starters. i'm not going to lie this is really really good and i don't think guilty about it because the lamb had a good live and a good death and i'm not turning vegetarian but it's only for special occasions when you slaughter animals like we used to do 100 or 150 years ago and like we just did you also need to eat meat like we used to 100 or 150 years ago that means only a steak a week and that's it. oh my what a day for a quarter leaving a comfort zone doesn't always happen voluntarily people losing their jobs because

the businesses are suffering under 10 demick restrictions now that's a real problem but maybe this crisis can also offer opportunities entrepreneur ernest darko might have some advice for you even if you're not into large scale house systems development like he's. going to make it really world upside down. so here are the 5 tips to boost your career in the context. is really to focus on things that you're passionate. even if in the overall sense of your career it's hard to find. a situation where health care was always poor clinics or overcrowded half or 3 medical career realized that if i really want to be the difference. to our system not just as many years later

here i have a. company that is focused on helping countries fix this system. it's not easy to get out of bed to go. to your. leaving iraq. was. given particularly for a very narrow career that's pretty much dependent for his out on seeing people and we know that according to logon at least it isn't or it's definitely impact your career or your profession. so to that assessment really quickly to understand whether it's a minute or create opportunities for you. to. feel there is an opportunity to try and figure out how are you going to work myself into that after charity surviving or innovate in order to meet this new demand yes actually not see the liberalism but i still this huge demand our power can act

innovate basically to meet opportunity so develop a screening out for example that community workers who work in the door to door career screening could be used to capture their screening and the result is creating. a. look at treasury building itself like using technology to allow you to innovate using technology to allow you to meet the new opportunities that are presented as opposed. to what occurred and so can all do you can they can change it in many cases you know. scaling it allows it to be accessible. in a way that probably might actually be better than preprogramed. for the. others in the cauldron of things changing. everything from having 1st wave to 2nd

wave to learning new things about it is then change it's a policy environment then changes the rules you're back in the right way if you maintain your clients if you maintain quality and you meet any satisfaction. because of the. things we can. actually do so and i've seen some amazing. people doing it in fact we live in. the complex. challenges. readjusting your career can be difficult no doubt particularly if your plan was to

have one of the coolest jobs ever flying a plane but we know the pandemic has been an utter nightmare for the travel business the global airline body says air traffic this year is expected to be 66 percent lower than last so it's been a huge mess for the sector up to this point and even with bookings slowly recovering german flag carrier moved tons up as suggested that would be pilots in a prestigious flight academy might have to rethink their plans. flying free as a bird over majestic landscapes it's an appealing prospect for many the video is about look trances pilot training program in the united states are a favorite with lucas time 22 year old moved to braman a year ago with his girlfriend to start his training at the european flight academy the lufthansa group's training school in germany. now they're packing up and

leaving braman in march the course was suspended $700.00 would be pilots were left hanging for lucas it's been a very trying time. they just kept stalling and putting us off 1st they said the course will start up again in may then in september then next january. perspectivism says it's also unclear it's time for us to leave. we can't keep paying rent for this flat we came to blame and so that i could become a pilot and say i could go to university. but our time here is now over. after many months in a kind of suspended animation with the training museum or wouldn't it lucas and say i made the difficult decision to give up and go home. if this isn't how we had a plan when we moved to. you chris was going to complete his training. and now we're

leaving again and he hasn't completed it. it's like running a marathon and turning about halfway never reaching the finish line. you. look tense or germany's biggest airline was brought to its knees by the collapse in air travel caused by the pandemic it was saved from bankruptcy by a 9000000000 euro bailout. half its fleet remains grounded. the head of love to answer aviation training staff and. can shive says the airline has 1000 pilots more than it needs. for our student pilots quite candidly that the prospects for becoming a pilot are very very bad right now because of the covert 19 pandemic and the financial situation of the loved ones or group or we're losing 500000000 euros every month it's our duty to be open to the students and tell it like it is. most

aviation industry analysts say the demand for pilots after the pandemic is hardly likely to soar they don't see air travel picking up significantly and till 2025 most of the youngsters who have had to hold their training needed job to get by. calendars now was in the united states when she heard the course had been suspended . now she's back living with her parents in light and working as an amazon logistics center. it wasn't easy but i have to take a pragmatic approach i knew i couldn't just sit around at home to do something and it wouldn't be a bad thing to make some money you don't earn anything as a stranger pilot on the contrary it's more like burning money. many student pilots now find themselves in a precarious financial situation. they are by far not the only group of people in

need of work as the pandemic has been suing lock down measures shuttered entire industries. because in the job of people who work in tourism or food service are coming to us they say either they need a job as a stopgap measure or they want to change careers entirely. kalyan business says for her working at amazon is temporary. she's not given up her longstanding dream of becoming a pilot. she remains as committed as ever. given i absolutely still want to fly i'm not going to give up on my 3 it's own good within me and it's not going to go away. i just are very complex florida i flew all over florida it was fantastic. and then suddenly i was back your whole family. and i can't imagine doing anything else. so i have to find

a way to finish my training as the saying. thus. if need be with out with her and. he doesn't want to know. who. the enthusiasm may be great but facts on the ground i'm not encouraging. look thompson has recommended it students actually give up rather than wait for the course to restart if they complete the program they're going to be charged $80000.00 euros and they won't have to guarantee of a job as used to be the case. lucas his father christopher hi i'm is appalled. he's been a pilot for 32 years. not a current obama of the gulf notable this sounds to me rather like coercion if i agree to terminate the training contract everything will be fine if i don't want to fulfill my dream huge sum of money comes. i don't like that i think it's

dishonorable. it's quiet and empty at the european flight academy in braman this is the 1st time lucas hyman has been inside since march. he too remains determined to become a pilot despite the difficult conditions prevailing right now. though he says he doesn't yet know how he's going to do that what i would like is for them to say when we restart pilot training we'll take you guys 1st or that they at least start a fire test results of this. but look to answer has not made any such commitment. nor does c.e.o. cost inch bore have any words of encouragement to the students no more work for tens of thousands of its employees. would be fine on the multiple school downs with all professions and old but i think we have to face reality in the years ahead

there are going to be too many people for the jobs available to anybody planning a career in evolution. he's already indicated that look tanso will have firm in universities there are no guarantees of jobs in the future and that is the case here to aviation remains a fascinating industry for young people to take this into account. this is part of all. the pandemic could end the dreams of an entire generation of would be pilots. of the 22 ideas broads dread the stress and disappointment sure but there are exceptions e-commerce has seen an unprecedented boom and with people haven't 2nd thoughts about standing in line a crowd of malls trade experts believe online shopping revenue in germany will be up almost 20 percent this year my colleague feels christmas is not about presents

it's what we make of it now more than ever. by the christmas of this one we make a fit. my . whole hall of jaws a 0000 mm bear really way too crude. where's the good spirit do we. get on with christmas comes with the grace of god this is my fault he is he saw the holy. is that you what are you doing

this is the news live from germany since record numbers of deaths as the country goes into hot schools and businesses close for at least 3 and a half weeks as the daily death toll tops 950 the program. the us is exiled opposition leader managed to cut off the european parliament sucker of progress in recognition of ongoing fight for democratic change.

i'm so gail welcome to the program germany's disease control agency says the number of covert 19 deaths in the last 24 hours reporting period has risen to a record 952 you know when the country went into a strict national lockdown in a bid to stop infection rates from rising further over the christmas holidays. the 1st day of germany's tougher lock down all non-essential shops are shuttered at one of the busiest times of the year just before christmas one of berlin's most famous shopping streets is almost empty a strange sight at this time of the year. it's very unusual it depresses me a bit but i tell myself it's only this year next year it will be better again. it

doesn't really bother me we've got a lot of christmas presents already and i think you can also celebrate christmas a little more modestly it's a time when everything is a little quieter anyway the latest after christmas so it's ok with me. which is nice to buy. we just have to learn other forms of social contact that's the way it has to be because the number of deaths is so high. the new lockdown came as germany reached a somber new record the highest court in $1000.00 death toll since the start of the pandemic and some areas hospitals are nearing capacity and health experts say cases could continue to rise over the next couple of weeks some respite could be brought by the vaccine its approval in europe appears only days away. but speaking in parliament on wednesday chancellor angela merkel said the vaccine will not

automatically end coronavirus measures including wearing face masks must be part of this will still need to wear masks people may not have symptoms at all or symptoms may be milder for those who have been vaccinated and it's not known whether the virus can be passed on to others this needs more research and therefore wearing masks will still be necessary. germany's new lockdown which includes the closure of schools is meant to say in place until january 10th but health experts and politicians have warned that if the situation does not improve significantly they remain for longer. so here's what's changed in jail under these latest measures old nonessential shops have closed supermarkets pharmacies and banks account remain open schools are closed and companies are being encouraged to allow staff to work from home i'm going to merkel has appealed for people to live with their social contacts during the holidays and the number of people allowed to meet

indoors remains restricted to 5 excluding children under 14 and sales of fireworks have been banned in 1000 patients of new year's celebrations. lockdown then with the chief political correspondent linda crane who's on. the streets welcome melinda what's it like that today. we know this is the absolute heart of berlin's shopping district the famous. normally it be hard for me to talk to you phil because in fact we'd have traffic jams we'd have crowds we'd have christmas music playing that's not the case today behind me is a berlin landmark europe's biggest department store maybe you can see the entrance here over my shoulder the fact is on a normal day in the christmas season 100000 tourists and berliners would be flocking here to do some shopping today that has utterly different in fact

a luxury grocery stance here in the cottage and in the cottage they are open but there's scarcely by hour in sight or if we look a little further down the street we can see another berlin landmark the memorial church the day some viewers will surely remember that that was the site of the terror attack in 20164 years ago that wasn't stopping people from going to the christmas market their very very beloved amongst the christmas markets in this city to enjoy some mulled wine and some christmas treats until this morning now throughout the country germany's famed christmas markets are shut. down is working what have people been telling you about the streets of nationals. we've heard support from everybody we spoke to and polls show the same thing

75 to 80 percent of germans say this is the right thing to do the people we spoke to here actually said if anything they think these measures should have come soon. or and been tightened up well before christmas arrives so broad support and you can also see it in the fact that the chancellor's popularity ratings are shooting up again although in fact she is the one who really put the pressure on for this tighter lockdown so clearly german saying that in fact her guidance is absolutely spot on ok well come on is necessary but it's going to be expensive how is this affecting bring entire lives i'm going. it is nothing short of a catastrophe and the retailers association has made that very clear saying that this latest shutdown could endanger as many as half of the businesses in the inner city if they don't get really generous support quickly now the fact is the

government has opened the purse once again the finance minister estimating that the latest support measures will add another $11000000000.00 euros to the monthly total of support they will be providing direct payments to affected retailers to help them cover fixed costs nonetheless a great deal of worry amongst retailers and amongst municipal associations that this could have a dramatic impact on the inner cities if we see businesses shut that in fact this empty city center could become the new normal. thank you chief political correspondent melinda crane. so here are some more developments in this pandemic the u.s. drug regulator has announced that its analysis of the maternal vassie indicates that it is safe and 94 percent effective meaning emergency approval could be granted in days and the drug rolled out next week south korean officials say the

capital seoul has only 3 intensive care beds left in a city with a population of nearly 26000000 the country's reported their records in cases over recent days and scientists from the world health organization of planning to visit the chinese city of woo one where the corona virus was 1st reported i want to find out how it jumped species from animals to humans. now to some of the other stories making news around the world people living in the path of a superstorm set to hit fiji have been want to secure their properties or flee to the nearest emergency shelters with or as a warning that cycle of yasser is strong enough to a room building's. japanese prosecutors have charged a man with murder over an arson attack on an animation studio last year shinji hour is accused of setting the coyote animation building on fire killing $36.00 people and injuring dozens he claims the studio stole his work the e.u.

since denouncing the results of august's presidential election opposition supporters have demonstrated on the streets of a cap to minsk every week since the election result was announced despite a clamp down on international journalists a day w.'s nick connelly has been to minsk to meet her young woman who's been protesting since the start of the movement. this much coming to march on sundays is this much a part of everyday life it's having breakfast our neighborhood just won't keep quiet it's here that you finally get to meet your neighbors. to the church. for all the demonstrative good humor fear is never very far away in minsk but most people here don't want to be recognized you know you agree to be filmed where in the mosques one person who is willing to take that risk is media 20 she's only of a known one leader xander. was. back in august we

felt that change was really close it felt like it was in breach of just a day or 2 more and everything would change. 4 months later we're not where we wanted to be. dollars was to what. police emerge out of on markdowns scattering the marches in all directions dozens of smaller demonstrations in parallel across the capital means making the police's job that much harder but for the hundreds of protesters still routinely arrested each week and the stakes are rising the courts hand out of a harsher sentences. look at the putting the fear only really hits you when you get home and read about everything that's happened that day online. i always carry a set of instructions with me that tell you what to do and here's a call in case you're arrested. eventually the protesters recruited continue this time without the help of modern technology so often protesters and the government

switched off mobile phone networks. the reaction to their protest from the locals is overwhelming. we got really lucky one time the police were using stun grenades we got hit by some shrapnel there was nowhere to hide and all we could do was no can people's doors. we moved from house to house and eventually there are about 30 of us hiding in one woman's house she looked after us and wouldn't let us risk leaving the house unless we had a lift to pick us up. but not everyone is as impressed. as the march reaches its conclusion the question is as ever how to get home without getting arrested. it really feels like the changed as a country ever happens now that can't be reversed. no

one can say with any certainty how long these protests will continue or what they might still achieve for most of these young but the russians are protesting giving up doesn't seem to be an option. a report from nick connelly i spoke with nick asked him where he sees the protests going. well that's the $1000000.00 question i think for now there is the main focus is just on holding him and keeping going i think the opposition's done a good job of not splitting and not being split into rival factions a very different people who have come together in the coordination council of the russian opposition they are all for now listening to what. is saying i think most people that think that if they can keep on the pressure coming out they are really creating real problems for the government that is really running out of money having to pay security services huge wages to keep that loyalty going

that really also depends on creating the illusion the impression of full support from the government i think a democratic system can put up with tens of thousands people coming out to protest against it if you had that was to see alexander lukashenko does not have that legacy anymore and the longer this carries on the lesser his chances of continuing his 25 years in office so i think for now it's about holding in sudan going to says that if things carry on as they all she hopes that could see fresh elections and a new government in the spring. macauley finally at research as in australia i have found that kangaroos can learn to communicate with humans in a similar way to dogs other found that the carriers use their case to point and ask for help in the study 10 of the 11 test subjects stead it researchers when they couldn't open a box containing food the findings suggest that wild animals time to learn to communicate effectively with people in a similar way to domesticated i'm. that's it you're up
