an expedition into the company we certainly came to the pacific to the languages, starts to port on d, w. i where all dreaming of taking all over again. but what really awaits experts say when travel restrictions, these customs cues will be longer than ever. offices will just be flipping through passports, they'll be test results and vaccination certificates to check. cruise ships and hotels will take a tough line to the industry. you will have to adapt to new hygiene measures like

touchless toilets, etiquette, all mean, higher ticket prices. before the pandemic, venice was overrun with tourists. residents wanted restrictions, careful what you wish for now the streets and waterways are empty. the city depends on tourism. w's max and the reports on how ben is looking to strike a balance as if re opens for business. a gondola ride is probably the most romantic experience you can have here in venice. even for a veteran candle, yi murder, it's your car. a little annoying. grumble, port number, so when we take someone with us or we try to make them live the dream. sonya, he is one of the cities, roughly $600.00 gone. no. yes. usually catalog with 3 tours a day. but the pandemic has practically run him out of business the over day from october to no. i've only done one writing. this city just came out of a locked out,

but st. mark's square is still you really quiet. the world famous kathy leon remains closed during the week before the pandemic streets were packed with tourists from all over the world. $20000000.00 visitors each year brought money, but also changed the face of the city. over the years, venice became almost entirely dependent on tourism. and the pandemic with his travel restrictions and locked down further, laid bare the issue. these cafes here, once popular tourist destinations are not closed due to a lack of customers. but now there seems to be some light at the end of the tunnel, though nobody really knows how exactly and when tourism will restart. some have hopes that a new start will bring changes. the v was auto is an activist with vanessia dot com . the group installed this counter in the window of a pharmacy to help publicize the declining number of residents, 50900. 65 is the actual number of people citizens living

today. here in venice, that's 30 people less than a week before. over tourism has been driving people out of the city, but the problem is more complicated than that. then it's itself suffered from the fact that a lack of tourism was also the lack of evidence, lack for many, many people and, and therefore this is what we are experiencing now. it's a very strange situation. we don't want to much tories him because it would suffocate the place, but at the same time we can't leave without to raise him in a place where everyone lives off tourism one way or another. it is difficult to find a balance. the cities tourism counsellor says that the situation is not unique to venice, but rather venice is in need of a unique solution. nice thought out into tennis and then it has not been sold out

in a derogatory sense. all 2 cities have experienced the last few years in the absence of all is to protect certain segments to city. however, it would be essential to obtain special laws for cities such as venice and lawrence allowed to be able to balance out the relationship between tourists and venetians. quota you equity, but often report to the stiffness. jani as a 1st step, the city has begun to closely monitor visitor numbers starting next year. tourists will have to pay a fee to enter the city. but more, you cannot or mrs. what some people consider the bad old days and give all the glare of i'm old, who would also go back to what it was like 2 years ago. you list people, navy, but it wasn't a massacre like they were saying. it was sustainable. with the bait over the future of tourism and venice is far from over. but for now,

most people here cannot wait for visitors to return and pay for stevens joins. those from outside stays to get to the science at the moment. but 1st, when these board is going to reopen, not just the tourists, of course, but people who haven't seen their families in such a long time. i haven't seen my parents in australia for 2 and a half years. so officials that i are sorry, spacing world borders to open up in october 2021. unfortunately, this isn't born out in australia. it's expected not to be until mid 2022. as the big weight. yeah, i know it's a bit better in, in europe for some countries like poland already open with exceptions like you need vaccinations. some countries like denmark is planning to open fully on the 25th of june variance complicating this a little bit. so israel was planning to open up at the end of may not looking like that would be pushed back to the end of june. but still, you know, quite seem so there's hope, but i mean, even if we can't,

should we be going in thing i love was that it's a bit of a moral question. it's really complicated. one isn't, and i haven't seen my family for a long time either. and i've been thinking about it a lot in terms of the pandemic. the things we have to think about the vaccination rates, we have to think about new variance. we have to think about the new infection rates in that country. and then also there's support question and it depends on the restrictions of the country you're coming from, both of the country you're going to. i find it quite interesting reading about what flights are doing. so flights have an i filter system that's used in operate in pricing theaters and it cleans the f as if the 40 times an hour. some of them are letting you loving people going economy seats in the middle of the aisle. and in fact, the plane with between flights and so it's, yeah, it's kind of complicated but that's why we have government and public health sources to give us indication. at the end of the day it sounds like we're not going

to return to normalcy when it comes to travel it's, it's going to be a different experience. yeah, i think it's going to be so different. you know, experts again to experts saying that much like 911 completely trains the travel industry in terms of security. this is what it's going to be like. now for health, you know, your health is going to be as important as a ticket or if possible. so we're going to see an explosion in technology and apps that shower health data, but there's going to be questions that come along with that many public health experts calling from us to be mandatory in flight. this doesn't have to be completely bad thing. you know, lots of lots have been on holiday and then got there and you've caught something of the flight and it's holiday. and so, you know, maybe that's home. what about what the science says? why does that should a lot on it on any of this or, or how it's gonna work out? yeah, so there was a study in the long says journal, publish in the beginning of this year. and it looked at the impact of travel restrictions on the import rates of fit. and what it found was that blanket

complete travel restrictions only really benefit the spread of virus and limited scenarios. so number one is if you've got a very, very low case load in that country, so you've seen him with a good example that last source and number 2 is if, if cases in your country growing and it's about the tip into exponential, they also don't notice that new variance was in there if you want to keep new varying out and that's when they can be useful. but they really caught on government to, to make kind of tailored approaches to different countries and use the most up to date data. and it's helpful to us as well to know the april of epidemiological terms. it's not just the case of the content, but anyway, any point during the pandemic, you know, sometimes you can in the right in the right circumstances. so different people, stevens, thanks for coming. so the world slowly opening up again, i've managed to book a little trip to the greek islands, fingers crossed the country up again tourism accounts for about

a 5th of grace's national output. travelers will need a negative test or proof of vaccination, and they'll have to fill out a passenger located form. so no quarantine on arrival, which is a good thing. and tourists are also back in washington d. c. it had some of the toughest anti covered regulations. it's reopening highlights the nation's steady transition back to normality. the tourism sector does continue to struggle. a great question today on the travel industry from one of our youtube uses saints and scholars. i'll let derek williams take care of that . oh, you could go to insist that the vaccine is mandatory for travel. oh, no expert on ethics, but i'd like to explore this anyway as it's rapidly turning into a very big issue. decisions are already being made by governance and businesses and universities. you name it about whether or not to grant privileges

or impose restrictions on things like travel based on vaccination status. the 1st point to make, i think, is that all major health authorities are advising people who can be vaccinated to get back to needed as a way to protect yourself, but also as a way to protect others. and, and that 2nd part is the real ethical crux. by choosing not to get vaccinated, you could potentially catch and pass on a deadly disease to other people so, so seriously simplified and boiled down. this question becomes kind of a classic face off between an individual's right to choose what's best for them. and what expert authority say for all of us currently complicating the picture is that both individual nations and the global community are still divided into

haves and have nots. is it fair to grant those lucky enough to have gotten a shot privileges like the ability to travel when, when they're denied to those who, who are still waiting for one? it's a tough question. it's certainly not fair, but for me, at least it seems justifiable. things should get more clear cut in a year or 2. i thank once everyone has had an opportunity to get vaccinated because they are we have precedence. many places already have vaccine requirements for, for other diseases. if you want to travel from germany to a tropical country, for example, where certain pathogens are endemic, you have to get max and aided against them in advance period. and nobody complains one way or the other, regardless of the ethical aspects. i think most countries will at least impose

cove at 19 vaccine related restrictions on people who are crossing their borders. many have already done so me get my 2nd shot before that and it'll trip to grace. thanks for watching state agency again to say, ah, people in trucks injured when trying to feed the city center. more and more refugees are being turned away. families to be crated and treated pieces. clean, clean, sharing. 200 people around the world. more than 300000000 people are speaking with huge

polarizing russia. misa is an outspoken feminist. born not in russia, but into jesus down. and yet she's representing russia at this year's eurovision song contest with the song russian woman was. she received so much hate from her critics, that she almost pulled out of the contest altogether. but instead, she decided to ask women from all over russia to send her scraps of fabric, which she then sewed together into this dress his morning. what do you use it to add now? rushes entry for this year's eurovision song, contest, back home, half the country. think that's a scandal. they say venetia is making fun of the ideal of russian women and she's not even an ethnic russian herself. she was born into g q. stan, her parents were refugees, song roles. it's ours. it's about russian women. the woman. yes. i am

asked me dory started learning music from her mother as a child in japan. at 11, she made her solo debut as a guest with the new york philharmonic since then, missouri hasn't just made her mark in the music world. she's also built a career around helping people this week in washington. she's one of a handful of artists receiving the kennedy center, honor for lifetime artistic achievement. this me. when you hear me dury on her, mary violin, you feel this is an artist whose ambition goes beyond just making beautiful sounds . over 40 years, she's been exploring the variety of ways people experience music. the now she's being recognized with a kennedy center on up for lifetime artistic achievement away this

ana, give me even more of an incentive, even more of an opportunity to be able to connect more to collaborate more opportunities to reach out on to be working together with others and very, very excited by that in missouri, it's also important to bring people together through music outside the concert hall . music sharing is just one of a number of charities she has founded since 2007. she's been a un messenger piece working in nepal. for example, to bring education to children and young people she foamed with fellow musicians in schools, refugee camps, and hospitals. the cheese went away. that music can't solve all the world's problems, but it can definitely make the world

a better place. and through music, one can gain many things. many things, one can experience many things on a gear box nation maybe even the ability to be able to get out of the median environment. in her home town of new york, she initiated missouri and friends back in 992. it's a free musical education program for children and young people in more than 60 schools with more than 250000 participants. ah, she also had students whom she has been teaching regularly, even when the corona virus pandemic shut down much of cultural life. change what all my vision. so whether it's partners in performance or music sharing or
