to our new covered 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 lockdown, many kitchen staff left to make up with the 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 in other sectors partitions apart from our follow view, it's really noticeable. we've had to change our schedules and like we use our ala carte menu in our kitchen,

we took everything fresh. so we can't offers many options as we blank. and we have to rely more on inexperienced staff. that's the problem with dealing with. and i don't know any kitchens that aren't looking for staffing. well, but we have to somehow make the best of the situation payments for him for with midland, both of us and get them off for the hotels owner. the staff shortage means the loss in revenue. one is he often has to turn down large events and he doesn't do weddings anymore. even though the demand is there. oh yah, mortishaw my sons before and what happens if there were a regular guess quote, been coming to us for years and we i tell them i'm sorry and we just can't accommodate you on barclay's. that would be terrible. been done. we were, i'm really, sally. so are my employees all it that we just can't offer certain things at the moment or due to the staffing situation? lots or, i'm fortunate a name could. shortly after russia invaded ukraine,

the hotel took in refugees, offering free rooms to ukrainian women who 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, could i do? yeah, i was a cook in ukraine, but of course i didn't prepare german dishes, flores and emerald, but i'd like to get to know the recipes and start cooking them, which some yeah, actually we mainly have men working in the kitchen in this matter and natasha, this machine would like to change that and one day as night had shot myself in the new sham yarber hutch. um i would check for one of condition. the hotels executive assistant is the bosses 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 and 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 euros for people who've been there at least 5 years. the head chef hopes the measures will attract new staff. that's who i heater clearing the of it may be. 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 concert line. that is, until the corona vars 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, or x time aqua morocco made some very brave decisions that they 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 focus of course on some of the famous jemma elfin are square and marrakech is normally a bustling tourist magnet. during covey times, it was practically deserted. nationwide, the tourism industry lost the equivalent of about $9000000000.00 during the

pandemic. vulnerable businesses like hotels received support. $220000000.00 have been allocated so far, 1st and foremost to save jobs. now, there are high hopes that things will pick up again, citron restaurant, global, that of course, i knew that it's a global approach the pandemic that's now enabling a sustainable economic recovery wrong. well, typically we're seeing a powerful resurgence in the tourism industry and no doubt about it a, the settler crease said dorothy in marrakech, 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. fif moore lay said, one of morocco's decision makers on corona virus matters had bought him in hell not ship. according to yesterday's statistics, we had 1600 active cases in june last year. there were $2010000.00 in her

viruses, barely spreading any more. and as you can see, lots of tourists have returned actual d tolan not to make moroccan tourism more internationally competitive. it's joined number of countries and introducing an electronic these are, is now less paperwork at the board of the immigration. morocco has also simplified its closed rules for travelers can nurse for those wishing to travel to morocco used in eden negative p. c. r test. even if they had a vaccine pass. now we've decided that people with the vaccine pads. i don't need a chassis when she she, oh, 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 are like since tourism is coming back to more

foreigners morocco's open the borders totally do her. yeah, of people from all over the world. so where, yeah, so i've read from another wave of, of it. i had him 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 higher priority when it came to government handouts aimed at safeguarding jobs. but they to recognize that their income depends on a healthy tourism industry. and how the tourists feel about traveling. are they worried about a new wave of infections? galvan mother isn't. i don't think people 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 just the rad command. and we just have to get used to it and learn to live with our daughter,

shaw. his opinion appears to be widespread. and that certainly giving morocco's tourism industry boost m. o people all over the world are trying to recover from the economic damage caused by lockdown. i reposed a marco acoya. i took 3 young nigerian carpenter is trying to rebuild her business ah burglar rounds, these carpentry shop with her dad and doing so well. when cove, it heeds the business reality changed, including clothes in a carpentry academy for goals, a project she is passionate about while committed to delivering quality furniture for her clientele. bees with cove id sills decreased, but she had workers to pay cars. and we had to, felicia done that was for lockdown,

so that's a fully shut down and everything. but we won't plencik lab on one lesson and what vehicle doing that her table turned on was so faint. sars minova the one me i didn't get paid curse if i had to go to an 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, the 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, part of it 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. here you are so far as not so good any more. so people are starting to get so close again. and as the workstation, everybody wants to workstation from home. so we had to, well,

you have to adapt. so we had to start doing more work tables to our grades. 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 myself, added frank f, as in papa is in it or more about making do my hands than sit down somewhere and half do defalco. they really 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 quality and then put, the outer logo says her dream for the academy is not entirely lost as she plans to have more girls in turning lennon to become carpenters like her and grow her customer reach across teeth and internationally he 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, world wide, 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 too,

with notes in the margins and sections underline. so she wouldn't forget anything. and that was made of bank verger 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 reader in those me ring just journals. 35 according. i am so far this year. i fred 48. what's her 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. to joe, where can i lose? i found way was i find these publishers some exciting, which marquez, i'm more than what a clerical one he of is on their unique looks. have created a community of readers surgery scheduled no. come on my other 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 our number. there are 70 independent publishers in columbia. they're little known among the general public, but during locked down 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. again, this has been his empathy, right? so in the totally unexpected hammond the global pandemic, we will prepare a until now and, and that mean our job easier is put alcohol going up on the regular oil 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 lit door foods. you know,

we then 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 and victories or not for my target ages. yes, it is at transsexual 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, was yourself going into the surprising thing? was that for bookstores, operating on a national or even international level, that own 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 way so soon as he lives, dalia, the selection in this bookstore comes from independent publishers. it mostly sells

political books about critical thinking. in social movements. i don't predict that 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 letter is, is that it's, i mean, that i've noticed how addictive social media can be and the tiny to distance myself from. hey jesse can what been and we said meant that fucker love afloat. it really helps to have a book in my hand to stop me reaching from my fine. go ahead on learning think i don't know. i know it's cliche, but it really does help push it. beto scheduled out one thing and to feed her

healthy new habit, she needs lots of new books. and she is keen to buy lots more if nothing else to support independent publishers. ah, and now to mexico. 1.6000000 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 your logical disorder and muscle pain. in that midday malaria where to for my entire body was shaking anatomy and 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 i shower sitting down because of exhaustion era. her partner takes care of most of the housework. 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 is 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, comma 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 and think you just imagining a dinner element. what is going to that could be assessing, been down low group on facebook now has $6000.00 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, one or 3rd law for all these patients really need to be referred to the relevant health care systems and they've been but those institutions, they just aren't in a position within to deal with all the problems that arise from this illness goes a line for them either mexico's public health institutions say they have treated 878000 people for post coping 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, at their grad, a mask. one thought that valley apart from providing more medical consultation is with these types of patients. if a long covert rehabilitation courses have also been carried out, that can cause his or accessible to all your patients can simply join in from home . whether not it as the course 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 no health to be closer to the university. wish you lexus and psychology. even so the one our daily commute, combined with the teaching is tough. it's 3 times

a 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're no longer the same person and that is hard to understand and to cope with it each day fresh. 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 co 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. starting with the fact that reporting on coven 19 mortality has been really spotty in many places. and, and complicated by factors like, like 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 boone 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, mm hm. with you to the point with strong opinions, clear positions, international perspectives. it's nothing short of a route. ukraine's 2 across the counter offensive has expelled russian troops from a large suede of territory in the northeast of ukraine. at lightning speed,
