to our new cove. it 19 special with the can in germany. 50000 employees are missing in the hospitality industry. most of them found new jobs and other sectors during the pandemic. salmon runtime is the how specialty. but the head chef is forced to prepare it by himself. during locked down many kitchen staff left to make up with a shortage. the restaurant now opened later on sundays. to save on the number of shifts. the hotel is hiring new staff and trainees from all over the world. though to left or not coming back during lockdown, they found jobs and other sectors i spoke to from there from our follow view, it's really noticeable. we've had to change our schedules and like we use our ala carte menu home in our kitchen,

we couldn't everything fresh. so we can't offers many options as we'd language. and oh, how much to rely more on inexperienced staff? that's the problem we're dealing with. and i don't know any kitchens that aren't looked leather staffing well, but we have to somehow make the best of the situation for him with moving both of them off for the hotels owner. the staff shortage means a loss in revenue. the one that was in here, he often has to turn down large events and he doesn't do weddings anymore. even though the demand is there. oh yah, mortishaw says before and what happens if there are regular guests quote been coming to us for years and we i tell them i'm sorry and we just can't accommodate you or mark was that would be terrible. binda we were i'm really sally. so are my employees all it that we just can't offer certain things at the moment. due to the staffing situation, i thought, i thought, honest a name could. shortly after russia invaded ukraine, the hotel took in refugees,

offering free rooms to ukrainian women who had fled the war. 5 of them now look at the hotel. it's a chance to start a new life in germany. lilia ruby is now in charge of the breakfast buffet. she has big dreams. now crazy whoo. yeah. i was a cook in ukraine. but of course i didn't prepare german dishes flores in april, but i'd like to get to know the recipes and start cooking them. yeah. which some yeah, actually we mainly have men. why came the kitchen mother? and that'll show this machine. i'd like to change that and one day isn't it had a chance myself. in the interim yarber had yella, whichever one i'm finishing, the hotels executive assistant is the boss his right hand man. it's usually a desk job, but now he has to help out wherever he's needed. it's the only way to cope with the staff shortage after a 5th of the hotels employees gave their notice. if i'm wrong,

i'm jumping in no matter where i like it and i can't imagine spending the whole day sitting in my office in front of a computer from 9 to 5. i need the change of pace with lots of our staff are doing the same, helping each other out to retain staff and attract new employees. the hotel ensures that everyone gets 2 days off after 5 days on the job. they're supposed to avoid overtime, and at the end of the year, everyone will get a share of the profits, as well as bonuses, of up to $2500.00 euros for people who've been there at least 5 years. the head chef hopes the measures will attract new staff that should i, heater cleaning the of, and maybe some of the employees who quit during the pandemic will come back. maybe they'll be those people who say, you know, working retail really isn't for me. gastronomy was not so bad, it was actually quite nice. i've been in this business for almost 37 years. i don't think i'd have stayed so long,

if it were the worst job in the world to go from civil forever. in the meantime, he's doing his best to help the next generation of chefs as a member of the examination board of the brandenburg chamber of commerce. he supports apprentices wherever he can. another way of fighting back against the staff shortage. next to morocco. for the past 6 months, morocco's bodies had been opened in june and july alone, over 3000000 tourists came to visit the north african country. oh, visitors had to prove that they were tested and vaccinated. ah ha. morocco is a country with rich cultural traditions that attract tourists in droves and tourism is good for the economy. in morocco, it wants accounted for 10 percent of g d. p. historic cities. traditional crafts

and beautiful architecture have made this north african country a highly desirable destination from the desert to the coastline. that is until the corona virus pandemic plunged the tourism sector into an unexpected crisis. the government made some tough decisions, but although they were bad for business, they were the right ones, says the secretary general of the national tourism confederation in casablanca, the markup created, this is your ex wife morocco made some very brief decision on that day, perhaps to the detriment of certain economic indicators, but they were the right decisions for the health and safety of americans. and anyone on moroccan soil focused on the famous gemma ill finance square and mera cache is normally a baffling tourist magnet. during cova tonnes was practically deserted. nationwide, the tourism industry and the equivalent of about $9000000000.00 during the pandemic

. honorable businesses like hotels, receipts support, $220000000.00 have been allocated so far. first and foremost, to save jobs. now there are high hopes that things will pick up again, citron based on global that of course, it's the global approach to the panoramic. it's now enabling a sustainable economic recovery. we're seeing a powerful resurgence in the tourism industry. no doubt about it. it's a 350 feet in marrakech and the tourists have indeed returned. official statistics reported foreign exchange revenue increased by a 173 percent compared to last year. the coven infection right appears to be stable as confirmed during an interview in august with dr. feasible, i said one of morocco's decision makers on corona virus matters. halbrook, im and hello la shipment. according to yesterday statistics we had $1600.00 active

cases in june last year there were $2010000.00 in her. the virus is barely spreading any more. and as you can see, lots of tourists have returned actual de tolan not to make moroccan tourism more internationally competitive. it's joined number of countries and introducing an electronic visa. there's now less paperwork at the board of the immigration. morocco has also simplified it's closed rules for travelers can nurse for those wishing to travel to morocco used to need a negative p. c r test. even if they had a vaccine pass. now we've decided that people with the vaccine pass. i don't need a chassis when she job for the pandemic wasn't all bad for business. domestic tourism actually increased dramatically in 2021. it rose by 69 percent with foreign tourists now returning to visit a numbers are expected to hit record levels was so feel

a little bit insecure. her we like since tourism is coming back to more foreigners morocco's opened the borders totally do her. yeah. or people from all over the world. so where, yeah, silla fred from another wave of it, her hidden neural. any new surgeon infections would also hit the roughly 2 and a half 1000000. traditional crafts people here at the start of the pandemic. some felt it was unfair that the tourism sector was given high priority when it came to government handouts aimed at safeguarding jobs. but they to recognize that they in come to pens on a healthy tourism industry. and how to tourists feel about traveling. are they worried about a new wave of infections? galvan mother isn't. i don't think people who have had all 3 shots need to worry. okay, so yeah, i think covered 19 is here to stay and we'll keep spreading from talking about the

comment and we just have to get used to it and learn to live with our were daughters all his opinion if he is to be widespread. and it's certainly giving morocco's tourism industry of houston. ah, people all over the world are trying to recover from the economic damage caused by lucky. i reported a mako acoya, took 3 young nigerian carpenter is trying to rebuild her business ah, book or ron's. these carpentry shop with her dad and doing so well. when covered heeds the business reality changed, including clothes in a carpentry academy for goals, a project. she is passionate about, well, committed to delivering quality furniture for her clientele. bees with cove id sills decreased, but she had workers to pay cause and we had to,

felicia done that was for lockdown. so that's a fully shut down. and everything bought. we were political albano lesson and what equal doing up her table durned and was talking sars minova the one me i didn't get paid. i curse if i had to get paid soon and oh, what it was more of this just get through this, this of why of just get through this. i survive and of the teaching part ended quote, we couldn't teach anybody. nobody could come out to learn at that point. so it was just more survival covered was horrible. dusty the mean, you know, at the beginning, particle video was terrible. nobody was thinking about buying furniture or so at that point. however, more people began to work from home business also moved online a little respite. at least when you're home you tend to see all the things are over to your house, you know, you're so far as not so good anymore. so people are starting to get so close again . then there's the workstation. everybody wants to workstation from. so we had to

know you have to adapt. so we had to start doing more work tables dar grease our whole though the academy dream is now stored. 22 year old at your law, an intern and university student is glad to be here. given bull was some hope on inspiring younger female carpenters. a car, a scene of all 4000 denay to so to just relieve my fil, filed frank f. as in papa is in it, or more about making do my hand than did balance the way and how do defalco integrity. google experienced a decline in her customer bees as less people wanted furniture or had plans for long term furniture. but it give them time to utilize wisely available resources, coin toss here, his us managers be closer. we did not know how prices are skyrocketing on every

farm and on. so we just launched our we have to manage the best. we can still optimize currency and then put the outer google says a dream for the academy is not entirely lost as she plans to have more girls in turning lenin to become carpenters like her and grow her customer reach across teeth and internationally. here in some sect is experienced a bit daring lockdown like the book trade and columbia. that's ironic, considering that according to the o. e. c. d. columbia has one of the lowest reading levels worldwide, on average, and colombians used to read fewer than 2 books a year. but that changed during the pandemic. at the age of $22.00, in the thick of locked down and stuck at home, gabriella potter started reading books and thoroughly to with notes in the margins

and sections underline. so she wouldn't forget anything. and i love made bainbridge or clock hello, you know in 2020. i think i read about 40 books. i see . and i love me rent in 2021. i read 60 here in those me ring just journals. 35 according they. and so far this year, i've read $48.00 or 2 lead of having studied mathematics. gabriella potter loves numbers. but during the pandemic, she developed a passion for literature. she doesn't keep the books on shelves. she stashes them, and plastic storage bags to protect them. mostly books from independent publishers. joe, where credit was, i asked them, why was i find these publishers some exciting which marquez, i'm more than what a clerical one he of is on their unique books if created a community of readers such as kitchen, oklahoma, my others such

a passion for detail that i haven't found anywhere else, and they have especially good customer service. good until you talk to real people . that's what sets them apart on orlando. there are 70 independent publishers in columbia. they're little known among the general public. but during lockdown, they posted record sales. publisher edgar blanco thinks that's down to their flexibility in his as he could. ok, we're always struggling. actually. we're always trying to reach our readers in different ways of doing this and then his empathy, right? so in the totally unexpected hammond the global pandemic, we will prepare a until now and then that way in our job, easier in his brit alcohol come. one of bending mcgloid books from these independent publishers give a platform to new voices on the colombian literature scene. but during lockdown, customers couldn't browse in bookstores, sales mostly happened through social media to lick door for foods. you know,

we the, in it get, it worked really well and i'm from many, it was a lifeline learner because it put them in direct contact with their readers or through posts on instagram, facebook and even twitter. or that's how they sold books, liquors or not for a major garage as easy as it is at the resurrection of commerce. yet bookstores that were able to sell directly online also did well during lockdown. readers could even communicate with each other on the stores. websites giving recommendations or reviews. is us yourself an inventive little causing thing? was that for bookstores, operating on a national or even international level? i don't sales went up despite the fact that the doors were clustered. both said, when we weren't expecting that a social networks also helped, but i did was i see that race was young is hillary dalia. the selection in this bookstore comes from independent publishers. it mostly sells political books about

critical thinking and social movements. i don't predict when i quote the people behind these publishing houses, etc. they're not interested in making a profit while as a cape was, was got nancy sacrifice on my money to get lots of books into circulation, to which a lot of people say more and more ciocca. who's the all these great books behind me form what we call our independent corner or independent gabriella part i started reading as a child. her favorite book is gargoyle by andrew davidson for her books or an alternative to the internet. yeah, my laura's alice, i mean that i've noticed how addictive social media can be and the tiny to distance myself from a jesse come what that means. other than that, fuck a love afloat, but it really helps to have a book in my hand to stop me reaching for my fine. go ahead and during that that going on, you know, i know it's cliche, but it really does help. pleasure. i don't see agile out on one of them and to feed

her healthy new habit, she needs lots of new books and she's keen to buy lots more. if nothing else to support independent publishers. ah, and now to mexico, 1600000 people there are suffering from long cove it. but the mexican government isn't shelling out enough money to treat the health consequences. he my raymore fell ill with coven 19 in august 2020. and she still suffering from symptoms now, for a long time, many of the doctors that she consulted simply didn't believe her. the 39 year old had to spend a lot of money seeing specialists until finally, she was diagnosed with chronic fatigue. and you are logical disorder and muscle pain. in that midday malaria where to fall my entire body was shaking in narrow mic

. i'm just walking to the bathroom, was a huge undertaker. i arrived completely exhausted and had a shower sitting down in bed. i still have days where a shower sitting down because of exhaustion era. her partner takes care of most of the house work. although myra has made a good recovery, she still needs help with many every day tasks. her breakfast consists of a cocktail of drugs. and she's by no means the only one. at least she has a partner to help. many in mexico feel left alone with their problems. says are medina also has long covered after losing both his job and his partner? he set up a self help group or more nautical monique air. no one's talking about these things about what can happen and so your family partner, friends and others, and start to feel skeptical. so and think you just imagining no element quarters go to that. it doesn't been. dando group on facebook now has 6000 members. although an

estimated 1600000 people in mexico are suffering from long covert, the government has not made any funds available for examinations or treatment. says amadine as group works to raise awareness of the problem, particularly among government officials and departments. medical doctor giorgio fine uti believes that the apparent lack of interest among politicians has more to do with the health service, not having the capacity to deal with the problem. eric will not fair law seek all of these patients really need to be referred to the relevant health care systems in place. but those institutions, they're just aren't in a position to deal with all the problems that arise from miss illness goes aligned forever. mexico's public health institutions say they have treated 878000 people for post coated problems and have

a 188 facilities that offer comprehensive rehabilitation. psychologist marta lopez who takes care of long covert patients, assured us that multi disciplinary medical teams have been created as well as online therapy to target the problem about their, their ability to mask on thought that valley apart from providing more medical consultation with these types of patients, if a long covert rehabilitation courses have also been carried out, or lakila facilities causes are accessible to all your impatience can simply join in from home. well then next a, then 8th or 4th of but the government is still refusing to recognise long covered as an illness. that means that public health bodies can't right patients of sick. myra has moved house to be closer to the university where she lectures in psychology. even so the one our daily commute, combined with the teaching is tough. it's 3 times as strenuous for her as it would

be for a healthy person. and the strain is exacerbating her symptoms. when not islam is not, but it's a little, you know, longer the same person and that's hard to understand and to cope with it each day. a fresh sized because you know, your life wasn't like this before. but that during the sickness and everything suddenly changed like you like and, and now you can no longer live without help from others. oh, do you have a question about the corona virus assigns, edited derek williams, gives you the latest research and analysis. sent derrick and emailed i writing to k, the producer at d. w dot com this week. his answering this question from seth underwood. oh, is the pandemic now claiming only as many lives as a bad flu season? oh, a lot of experts hate comparing influenza to cove. it because it paints the current

epidemiological picture with a very broad brush. and because there are so many vague factors involved in trying to nail down the data. busy starting with the fact that reporting on cobra 19 mortality has been really spotty in many places and, and complicated by factors like light, clear attribution after all, just because someone is testing positive for the corona virus, when they die, it doesn't necessarily mean the virus is what killed them, especially if their elderly patients, um, similar problems apply to defining flu mortality. many of its victims aren't killed directly by infections with the viruses that cause influenza. but instead by the pneumonia that getting flu can lead to okay, i got at least some of the car, the outs out of the way. and you all know now how much gas work is involved. but

let's see if we can come up with some kind of an answer to your question. based on the data that we do have to start with flow mortality according to the world health organization in the years leading up to the pandemic. influenza killed between 29650000 people annually in really bad years. therefore, around 650000 people died of it. now cove, it, i added up the w. h. o statistics for weekly corona virus, deaths in 2022 and came up with around 850000 for the 1st 6 months of this year. if you double bad for the fall calendar year, then it would add up to a prediction of around $1700000.00 deaths due to coven in 2022. so roughly 3 times as many as

a really bad year for flu. this is of course, over simplified and kind of cheating because cobra 19 waves are, are dynamic and they're ongoing and they're unpredictable. um, you might have noticed on that graph, for instance, that the most recent statistics show the global death count from the disease is currently lower than at any other time since the beginning of the pandemic. since last april, cobra has only been killing between around 10017000 people world wide every week. it's a positive trans that is at least partly due to higher levels of immunity and populations due to vaccination, previous infection or both. but. but even if that positive trend were to hold steady in the future, we'd still be looking at the corona virus causing at least as many annual deaths as

the number attributed to flew in a really severe outlier year. and probably more, boom in the next program will show you how school children from around the world are getting back to school of student teachers and parents. prepare until then. bye bye. ah ah

ah, a with a conflict with sebastian russia has suffered key reversals on the battlefield as curious, forces have come to attack and seize back a wide sway of territory. my guest this week from moscow is andre kalashnikov, senior fellow at the carnegie endowment for international peace amounts among some
