it comes to the fans of the humans and see the microphones who have decided to put their trust in us. my name is jenny paris. and you could see on britain's borders with the e.u. some experts predict a couple of weeks of traffic jams as the new bridge that rolls ticket. a while give a stock exchange it's all good and bad we'll look back at how 2020 brought the markets. and business goes up in smoke for our technicians in germany the bad on the sale of fireworks and the traditional party at the brandenburg gate takes the stock up. it's. a bit let's do business after decades of

seamless cross channel trade observers warn the new breaks of rules could cause weeks of traffic chaos in the new year britain's national farmers union and the food and drink federation worry the changes will disrupt supplies and increase costs a few that shed on the french side as well. red tape new smart borders that don't talk to one another and traders who've left preparations for new customs formalities to the last minute french truckers are warning of chaos just before the united kingdom restores a hard from tear with europe. that strongly quote is a choice but if we listen to the french and british authorities yes all the talk is of smart corridors they tell us that everyone is ready but that doesn't stop us from having doubts it is the smallest thing even just a couple of minutes for drivers to prove their merchandises customs approved with the right documents and bar codes even that takes just

a couple of minutes we know that it could lead to the him from his lines of traffic so he's getting at is if it was for that alter. the new border will be installed 48 years after britain joined the european economic community as it was called back then for decades the fortunes of the french city of color have been deeply intertwined with the u.k. for cali ports chief executive britain's divorce and the e.u. is a sad moment. polisher to get on what the new kid on the side of the great britain is leaving us but then again do they ever really integrate into europe. i'm not sure they always have one foot in and one foot out so they have their own currency so there wasn't true freedom of movement for people since there were checks etc. it's very regrettable but i think the english are focused on their island. see if greece on its own they only want to follow the house of commons and not the european commission in brussels is all appear in the video vehicle could mean.

by a result of that which are. bitter feelings as a marriage ends but both sides still need to keep working together the 1st task is to avoid chaos at the border on january 1st. a quick look at some of the other business stories making news around the world britain and spain have decided the fate of gibraltar left out of last week's breaking trade deal with the european union little territory will state in the e.u. 2nd zone that allows thousands of spanish commuters to continue crossing the border visa free on a daily basis. the u.s. says it will raise tariffs on a range of e.u. goods including wine it's the latest development in a 16 year battle over subsidies paid by the 2 sides to boeing and airbus for the challenges of being placed on airplane boxes once french and german brandy. bitcoin broke through the $29000.00 mark on thursday cryptocurrency for drew pulled

down well thread is freaked out as you can see there that led to the biggest financial crash in history with stocks hitting record lows and much as washington pumped trillions of dollars into the u.s. economy stocks rose almost as dramatically as they'd fallen. by the end of the year the development of vaccines pushed stocks even higher despite all the hardship the dow actually ended 2020 higher than before the pandemic. so what can we expect from the markets next year sabrina kessler is our financial correspondent in new york sabrina wall street loved donald trump what happens when joe biden takes over. so for most and best there is the election of so by it has really been. a lot of adamant for november 3rd election and what they said was most a force that we like from policies like. taxes lowered and well like the

elation but you brought an enormous amount off uncertainty to the market price war with china for it and if there's $1.00 thing that markets really hate and it's uncertain and that's something i know it's going to change besides making sure that the folks that make get dealt with so a lot of investors i'm really looking forward to buy and presidency however there is one thing which is still out here and that's the run up in georgetown next week why is that while markets tend to like tax and balances to make sure one party doesn't have too much sway so they hope that republicans will retain the senate that's when the when is what i mean a divided congress in the future so that biden will have a chance to influence the economy but doesn't change strom's cheeseman in terms of taxes and regulation too much sabrina we've also seen how vaccine stripes markets this year who will that be a game changer in 2021. totally and i would even go so far as to say that the

vaccine will drive stock market even more than a by the president because in the end it all comes down to corporate earnings and how companies are doing and it's obvious that the vaccine is the only path to an economic recovery so yes it remains the game changer next year although i wouldn't be too surprised if we see a correction in the 1st quarter not only because many analysts predict that the economy will get worse during the winter before it gets better but also because markets tend to see a setback when it comes to changing the white house as we will see it with biden in january. from how new york correspond to coming from a very rainy new york sobrino kessler trying to keep dry for us thank you very much . thank you. let's take stock of the to moche was you know with our financial correspondent in frankfurt sunday. the world is in the middle of the worst recession since the 2nd

by the coronavirus people have lost their jobs their health their loved ones 10 year old lorenzo knows all too well how the virus can change a life instantly he lives in a belgian town that was declared a hot spot back in march and 1 of the 1st people to die from the virus was lorenzo's grandfather his death left a young boy deeply scarred. before corona didn't know loneliness now he does every day and sleep here. and it's just not right with the 10 year old misses his grandfather luke they were inseparable grandpa was the best you know pretty happy yeah i was happy to renzo lived with his grandparents for years and they took him everywhere. luke was always the one to pick lorenzo up at school but when his grandfather got covert

19 in march and became the 1st known victim of the virus in their hometown of st truman lorenzo was left confused and angry. i've if corona wasn't here i'm. nothing of this would have happened his grandmother janine is still pained to recall how difficult it was to explain to lorenzo luke wasn't coming home from the hospital and i have to say that. he was so. good at what janine had to deal with her own grief her daughters and her grandsons lorenzo was troubled he'd never gotten to say goodbye these were grasses and those are all the names of. people that want to see him again. but then a chance arose for lorenzo to say farewell when his city's mayor decided to create

a memorial in a local park around the theme of the flower forget me not. and assess from the beginning i want. from a little child who lost his grandfather of grandmother the mayor asked lorenzo if he would like to speak at the dedication he declined because life they were gonna laugh at me why but. i don't know. why i just think something. that i set that and. that when i set something about my grandpa i was going to cry. it was a little free. maybe you can do it for grandpa. oh yes i will do it for him. at the ceremony with his mother nellie beside him lorenzo poured

out his heart and touched everyone else's evil. dear grandpa i miss you very much i am mad about corona mad about what happened you were to bastogne always are going to be the best investment and. when you were standing up there and people were listening to hear what you think they were thinking. he's a brave boy. and no longer he realized and angry boy i was happy did i get it that i. wrote l out. and was happy. everyone was. grandpa. and in the spring this corner of the park where lorenzo throughout his

sadness will be filled with little blue flowers each blossom a promise to those who are gone we won't forget you. spain is also struggling with the effects of the pandemic the country's economy has taken a massive hit given that it highly depends on tourism in cities like barcelona and many hotels bars and restaurants remain closed the economic decline also means that more and more people don't have enough money to pay their rent and that's why bailiff's like grass and martinez are working around the clock his job of carrying out evictions can be both emotionally taxing and dangerous. clearly he's a bearer of bad news. we have a court warrant will you open up. some martinez works in barcelona's last detail at

area his job is to pull the coronavirus pandemic is a busy time for him more and more people slip into poverty and can no longer pay their rent we have a court ruling you have to leave today. why were we told. leaf i'm here now you must have been given plenty of notice if you go to my father's i know. the owner of the apartment wants them out and he has the law on his side. i want the apartments back. for my son. so that he can live here. the locks are changed to straight away courts are cracking down especially on behalf of private owners when apartments belong to banks or companies decisions can take longer. our. landlord has the final say if he's willing to give them another 2 days then that's what happens and if he wants them out today they're out it's up

to him. as you go through. this department was owned by a bank would be one thing. but the owner is someone who worked for decades to buy property it's different. i have no sympathy for them. spain's housing problem is nothing new high rents low incomes during the financial crisis several years ago many people couldn't pay their mortgages and many homes were repulsed by banks now the pandemic has ushered in the next crisis. people who were struggling before are now at rock bottom they had precarious work contracts and now they've lost their jobs so they stop paying their rent. the chronic housing crisis is on full display at his next appointment the building

belongs to a bank it's now being occupied illegally palko calls for assistance. when you police back up illegal occupants aren't opening the door. we've been threatened with knives and someone turned on the gas to try and cause an explosion or are people who can get dangerous that's when we call in the police officer. poco knows a lot of the police officers well. how's it going on the bad guy again. the police go in ahead to check the situation. one of the squatters is still there he's sick the others have fled to. the setup of living like this of course the father the mother lost everything.

i'm on the side of justice there's always someone who gets the short end of the stick a lot but that's the way it is after all a judge has made a ruling that's the way the law is i don't have a guilty conscience or morgan but. this water won't leave so he's taken away. those sees a lot of misery in his job which makes him even more aware of how lucky he is the 52 year old lives with his partner in their own apartment and he is mortgage free. a few streets away he's called on to other day young woman from the dominican republic who gave birth just 2 weeks ago. i'm not doing well where am i supposed to take my child. you know what on earth and a group of activists are here to support her. can do is try to get her more time everything depends on the landlord the woman's last hope is

a phone conversation with him. you know the welfare system doesn't function right now. and the only way to get another apartment would be. barbecue sophos a few. more degrees to let the woman stay another 6 weeks but after that she has to go situations like these still upset even after 12 years in the job. there have been many occasions when i've had to grit my teeth and get on with it if it were up to me i'd cave in on humanitarian grounds. but when you've been told you're being evicted 4 times and you haven't looked for a new home at some point you have to draw a line. pago has been called to 8 addictions today in his district alone he knows that number will keep rising the longer the pandemic

continue. living your life the way you want so that's said again stuffy of the dream and his home country russia he faces hate on a daily basis members of the l g b t q community risk being rebel leader or physically attacked in public the perpetrators and not held to account all the phobia is widespread in the russian society but these risks don't stop said a gay from following his past and of being a drag queen on high heels and dazzling makeup he is living life for the fullest. just see. her. giving everyone was telling us he says say i like of my other name is miami or miami drag queen motion in miami to. x.

thank. plenty 7 year old sag a name yes miami the films that scream monkey is a gay child in mustang. it's how he makes his living even if his job clashes with a to do in russia. have a 2nd phrase for face id it doesn't recognize me i did a good job on the make up today. as a nation that she's that kind of woman hello i think it's more 2nd personality for me with that i don't think it's an illness would that mean she stayed but isn't it yes. because these attacks. say one stage at the club the track winfield's competent and do you think outside the club he's pretty ways provoked to functions. i don't want to see that. yes just makes me want to vomit. send him into the

army not just for one year he ought to serve 3. the one time you could have got your head torn off for that. sergei works hard on his act developing the choreography and himself step by step in 2015 he came to moscow from a little village in western russia he felt liberated but only within the safe confines of the club. with those letters with my wigs and high heels i don't fit the image of the russian male. i can't walk down the street as miami has it's not because i don't want to become a star but because i'm afraid. afraid for my life and for my face freeze that.

there are good reasons to be afraid in russia it's very dangerous for a man to appear in public wearing makeup and women's clothes as seen here in moscow's metro homophobic groups may quickly turn violent and deep bass their victims say gays well aware of the danger and never leave the club in drag even so much as posting about his act on the internet without including an age limit could land him in court on charges of homosexual propaganda in such an environment sag a says it's dangerous to come out as gay even to one's own family. i haven't had any contact with my father for about 10 years ago once i got drunk and messaged him saying father i'm bisexual i'm not bisexual i'm gay but that's how i put it the thought of be easier for him i have nothing against girls but i also like boys he's never called me since. my stepmother called me from his telephone

and said what if you don't you know we raised your speed. but sag a doesn't intend to stay hidden away forever so in his outfits in secret. he has dreams of a grand career and he's invested his creativity and about 11000 euros in fabrics make up and she views yeah i just think me i'd like to be in the media and appearing in movies and shows so people will be scared of us that i'd like to be able to walk the streets by army and not have people you know things of me like you places in the cemetery with others. such things frighten saguenay but he's not giving miami up he'll carry on as the dazzling drag queen but maybe not in russia taking his dreams of a life in another country. for centuries we as human beings have been trying

to find the secrets to a long and healthy life is it about diet getting enough exercise does it have to do with your genes well the answer may be found on the greek island of carry out a surprisingly high number of people living there reach a very old age researchers are trying to find out what their secret is and i can tell you one thing i believe it has to do with the breathtaking beauty of the island. here in a sea of turquoise nice the island of a career. it's famous for its namesake icarus from greek mythology and for the adenike at least it's been ages. but these days it is mainly renowned for the long gap of its residents and is known as the island of centenarians. demetrius crusie is one of these centenarians actually he's 101. his wife is 93 when crusie was

born there weren't any streets left on it korea poverty and hard work influenced his lifestyle and diet but to this day he only sees his doctor for routine check ups what's the secret to his good health. well it's a lot of fish. were doing after all i was a fisherman myself. i ates meets twice a week at most. you are to. and i really like to learn to let's. maybe daddy gaghan like him like wine doesn't agree with me it gives me a rational value i only drink beer. if close to a 3rd of a korea's 10000 residents live to be older than 90 finding out why this is has been keeping countless greek and foreign researches busy for years. man me

cos kalimba here says please let it korea centenarians have attracted international attention however he's also concerns that the elderly could soon be the and only ones left on the island with the people if you want to we have to improve our infrastructure so young people stay on a career. like we need to make investments in health care education and transport as you should know better ports roads to make british political what you seem like condition our streets wearing. my nordic muscle which we're always having to slalom . in. we took one of the island's better roads to speak with someone who should know more about why people in korea live so long. for. the islands resident docs are in the us larry addis suspects that genetics play a role but he also thinks it carians love lives have something to do with it. no

matter what the case actually ordered them here you have all the directors it's for a good sex life a positive attitude i suppose that with a proper healthy body and soul before lots of social gatherings there's a brief monday of celebrations it was the only and then the overall recently a 92 year old being to my practice and said it with dr spite of my age i can still do everything well the way up it would and i ask what do you mean by everything no innocent lives at the if you replied when i say everything i mean isn't everything this one man familiar with this is fun gala schedule known as the james dean of a career now 90 years old he's been married twice but he says women just get too jealous that's why he's now living on his own on his farm with his all if we've been. there but his energy is boundless his next project to drain the well on the hill behind his house. we have clean air and clean water.

that's the main thing you know. 90. sauces still fighting fit and making plans for the future. because. if you've been married twice you can always try adjustor time. but you can't. especially not on a career. life on this stunning island in the i.g.n. see is full of passion and free of stress and strife. and perhaps that is the secret behind the long given t. of a career is serious. i should think of moving there when i retire or at least a visit the island for an extended vacation well with that we've come to the end of today's show thank you so much for watching the team and i would like to wish you all the best for 2021 and of course we'll be back next week with more stories from

across europe until then. thanks. the be. good.
