Biggest dream is to find safety in europe. Back in february tens of thousands of migrants try to cross the border into greece lord by a false promises from turkey they thought the e. U. Borders had been opened but the greek authorities pushed the people back violently and the doors to europe remain firmly sheps among those who try to cross the border is the as the me family but just like many other refugees they have to give up they were taken away by the police and watched followed was an odyssey through turkey they traveled from the greek border in the northwest to the turkish inland and then in several exhausting trips they made it to istanbul the torture as a journey took them 22 days our reporter met up with a family to see how they getting by. Refugee web cam mohammed has some pitta bread a few tomatoes and soda for the children. He knows its barely enough for one meal for the 7 member family hes about to visit when i was. 3 years ago the as a means fled to turkey from afghanistan. Theyd planned to have arrived in europe a long time ago but instead their stuff here on the outskirts of a stumble. For weeks now theyve been afraid to leave the house out of fear of the coronavirus of getting deported. They can only let the ashar into their flat he takes that temperature go and give them food ration cards theyre worried about getting sick without Health Insurance and they feel unwanted in turkey or they could all of that refugees are being awake. Even if theyve paid the rent from your experiences and theyve seen it happen a lot of. Today raised the families eldest son is appearing on the social media channel of mohammeds Relief Organization hes recounting their experiences in recent weeks. Of the polluted water really know what happened to us at the greek border how hard it was for us there must. Be as emus arrived at the greek border at the end of february along with tens of thousands of other refugees. The turkish government have Just Announced that the doors will open for them to go to europe but on the other side of the fence greece had slammed the door to the new shot several attempts to cross the border by force would be to jail. If youre just going to set up a tent. Every day they told us wed be off today or tomorrow. Nothing ever happened to. Highlight to us. The few who made it to the greek side were violently driven back into turkey. Like these iranians who were even stripped of their claim. On. The island for a month razor as the me and others waited at the border in the freezing cold and fell for then one night the Turkish Police showed up because youre let your guard down or they drag those out of a chance with force then they start their belongings on fire. Posters on to buses and drive us off we were on the road for 20 hours. We only hunted dried bread to eat and we werent allowed to disembark. The family was brought to monetti 1400 kilometers away they were put in a quarantine facility like this yes. They did maybe. A few days later they were taken to a place near ankara. Ultimately all the refugees at the greek border ended up on the streets somewhere in turkey the same did the azimi family. The people around the world they say have lost any interest in their fate. Will be taken advantage of as a political football everyone knows that by now not just the refugees but the whole international community. At the end of their odyssey the volunteer refugee work and mohammed got them off the street and into a 2 room flat because he means share it with another refugee family. But its unclear if theyll be able to stay. Or now theres a coronavirus to on their way to europe is blocked and we cant work here is there are life is hopeless here when i ask for work they say we dont take foreigners here from the azimi stream of life in europe has become a nightmare. Reasons father says turkey doesnt want them to but they cant go back to afghanistan the normalisation gives a good somebody to send it is. Returned. We left our food for the sake of our children. Now they arent even able to go to school. And so they do what they can to get by with just some bread tomatoes and a few are lives the only option is to wait until. The turkey accepts them for europe opens her own. Land and is not just the capital of the u. K. Its also the countrys capital all the traffic jams last year drivers in london spends nearly 150 hours sack in traffic thats 150 hours of people being idle and that waste of time has cost the city billions of coras the streets of london are now empty because many people are working from home and that has given way to bikers they are taking back the streets. Riding a bike in london can seem like taking your life into your own hands. No may traffic here is extremely having. A. Tough time is a changing more so much with the taking to the streets. Or. Flip phones and rides his bike everywhere he cycle some 20000 filmic z. M. I dislike most among the cost to be quite comforting. When you work with the road like this maybe a competent cyclist is not really much of a problem but you have to be going that more or less the speed of the traffic a new presence on the road has to be quite strong. Not to take finot phones and his family are pleased that more and more london has a discovering the joys of cycling. That will cycling enthusiast from the time when Young Children grow better bikes to school. Thats still something of an audit seen on t. V. But how could soon change. In schools. For advancing get people cycling. The next generation i think the definitely be more confident that on the buy a person living the should just go ahead and close 50 percent. Side streets just close to cause dont need to go on 50 percent so give us access to everybody. Close as much as possible. Those kinds of demands get londons taxi driver has the riled up the citys cabbies are among cyclists crisis critics. Who dont are psychos get rid of old and get over psychos over buses. They would and then it says the traffic at the moment is terrible so i buy cars in. Roads or whatever making more cycle lights is just going to make the traffic even worse steigers itself the people who saw it drive the moment the highlight cars on the small percentage of do not highlight charge. So this should be some sort of a test for cyclists and yet londons in a city is currently swarming with bicycles as the quran the crisis ushered in a new age of mentality. Cyclists now have some powerful supporters behind them there will be a huge amount of planning going into helping people to get to work other than by mass transit and i this will be i hope and in the book my writing for will as a former secretary of transport i will agree this is should be a new golden age for cycling but they must act fast when commuters return on mass it wont be enough buses or trains to accommodate them and take it to social distancing missions if even a small percentage of these commute to start using cars instead london will be fixed with 10 children. The temptation to get into medical will be very very strong and understandable so i think weve got a short window of time to reach out to both the politicians and to the public a large to say there is a better writer to. Manage the city londons financial district is leading the way. Down during the debt access is restricted to process and bikes only. And sidewalks are being widened to give pedestrians more room. And in some residential districts streets are being close to 3 traffic drivers are having to find other groups. Oh oh. Now this just in these few weeks was an amazing opportunity to connect a lot of the unconnected parts to get the local councils on board to get the local roads. Or cycle again to stop this trip university. During the Current Crisis london feels a bit more like bike friendly amsterdam. Phillips the internet is family i hope it will stay that way take this new golden each for cycling seems almost too good to be trained. A few weeks ago france will slowly started loosening its lockdown restrictions but restaurants remain shut probably for a couple of more weeks that means assess like i wonder currently dont have a lot to do but thats not stopping her from doing what she loves and thats selling food she is giving her fellow perez the ends of the chance to rediscover home made delicacies. That never get it back you know. But this is a comes from the camp in your region these are fridays you rarely find its really a delicacy and it tastes great last time for the event and the fact that the asparagus its magnificent supply and it comes from to read some 200 kilometers away from parents like home to think its a lemon that shall bestival you just like. Ordinarily police is a restaurant in central paris. No its been transformed into a little markets stocked with regional products. What is it that youre going to the local people line up to buy them from. Who normally earns her living as one of the top chefs in paris. Yeah you do a lot of the supply and has the demand. Well just bring the Team Together my restaurant was paralyzed anyway. I started with the cookies then i found the guy with the lead preserves and little by little its grandma. But 1st i only opened in the mornings now im open all day now there are customers that they can buy locally sourced french foods here. All the chain is just crazy to buy products that come from far away and dont even necessarily that good stead of supporting local producers who make great products right here. In new delivery has just arrived didnt help spring in the projects. Long barrow he comes to paris twice a week with his freshly picked vegetables normally he only supplies restaurants like go indians but the crisis has changed everything. Its brilliant as the only chef i were going to come up with this idea. Here llorar isnt as element surrounded by vegetables lettuce and herbes. The role grown adults are going to 50 kilometers from paris. Its asparagus sees of neurons discerning customers appreciate his projects under willing to pay a pretty penny for it. Still its not an easy time for growers but it is with us not to hide any operators if thats a clue of what i buy because they cant live from their work and the costs are sky high and i hope we can change that evidently to the major crisis like a run of irish to make us realise that their youth with the corona crisis force the french to change their ways president emmanuel micron thinks so and its banking on domestic goods just days ago he visited farmers in brittany micron is the monday that not just france but all of europe Real National is important branches of production to produce reliance on overseas imports he wants lessons to be learned from the shortages of face masks and medicines during the pandemic. This crisis has taught us that. With some damage their products and materials will stop the strategically important for europe to be independent. But is that even possible these days its quiet on the famous seans uneasy in paris and sophia seif works as an economist here she skeptical about microns i do this enough that my new fronts in germany come produce everything themselves and its not even in their interests to didnt say it we need to ask ourselves in what areas it makes sense to remain independent during a crisis but we shouldnt become opponents of globalization i have to because globalization gives us Affordable Access to a vast array of program i do quickly dream how should the economy look post corona green says pascal confines. A member of the European Parliament hes launched a Promising Initiative a European Alliance for a Green Recovery it demands reforms to create a climate neutral economy and transform agra food systems while generating jobs and growth almost 200 politicians union reps and even larger corporations like cocacola and ikea have to clear their support carvajal summer we need to Work Together because this time we must do better than during the financial crisis a decade ago gooden that you are using a sustainable efficient strategy we can kill 2 birds with one studio so be successful with it economically and ecologically is sort of not a goodish thats precisely what dean aims to do everything she sells here was producer got to clean and locally but her wares dont come cheap food prices have risen by as much as 12 percent during the crisis im indians customers do ask about the items price but the french are generally more willing to shell out for good food than germans are for example. In her kitchen and indian only every uses are going to regional products. Does she think the corona crisis will change peoples eating habits. And that told me all of it when up until our week mixed everything up we ate us or i guess from peru and full of all mens from china huge battles i. Think that if the u. P. I. Collishaw to change their behavior for him and when the majority milk arent quite as nice and measure just about the damn indian knows one thing for certain she cant wait to reopen her restaurant. And where staying with food the moving from french cuisine at the belgian kitson i live in belgium and i can tell you if there is a lot. One dish that the belgians are proud of its their fries but now that too is at risk due to the corona outbreak farmers have harvested times of potatoes bats the demand for fries has dropped sharply and thats why all belgians are now being called upon to take part in a campaign to save this delicious food. Crispy golden. Toasty warm another 1000 calories a serving anything but healthy no matter this is patriotic eating a group in the homes of long were asking. To eat fried rice rather than just once and we. Protect those storage is or food to the brim. Still has more than 5000 tons from last years harvest the worthless no. As long as cafeterias restaurants and fast food chains are closed all over europe there is no demand for spuds you know my normally we get about 150 euro to 180 euros a tonne now its around 10. 00 to 15. 00 euros the storage is expensive to which we dont know if the market will recover early so we have to choose between hoping for better prices and using more of a thought or. The combines have been raising potatoes for 3 generations. Theyve modernized operations over the years nobody in the firm can remember a time when potatoes werent in demand. It could be the worst year for potatoes in history these are the fun tame variety the grown specially for frying so they cant really be sold for anything else but some are a common says hes not ready to give up we have now thats the point we need to throw them out give them a way we can still keep them fresh for 2 more months before they begin to roll that idea twice a week is nice but with the amounts we have thats just a drop in the bucket and yeah but here is. The mounds of potatoes is a disaster for the family farm and all of belgium more than 750000. 00 tons of potatoes are at risk of either being fed to bio gas Energy Plants or animals but the farmer says that even his cows are getting sick of sports. You know what the country in the world produces more potatoes than belgium. Around 5300000. 00 tons each year but the fry factories are only running at half capacity right now. This is where tater gets trimmed down to fry size for his or belgians National Dish never the less around 90 percent of belgian fries are export it mostly to other European Countries since everyones in the same boat. They should all weathered the storm together since this community was founded in 1057 the pity to secure has never yet been answered. But this is an exceptional situation. Desmond i hope not the euro and the belgian government and help our farmers up to now the Potato Processing industry has had a new era news of around 2000000000 euros now and the deep freeze facilities are almost full. Yet try stands are gradually being allowed to reopen. So get them while theyre hot. This is one of those everyone thinks fries come from france because theyre called french fries but thats nonsense we belgians and tens of them thats why its a good idea to eat more fries to keep the tradition alive but. The secret of belgian fries is that theyre cooked twice in beef drippings at 2 different temperatures. But. Theyre not vegan but few belgians are. There isnt for the country now to sit down with your im trying to eat lots of fries to help the farmers and. Im doing my part by following the recommendation im happy to help with the work of the mashed salted forest frogs. Every day. Belgians are doing their bit because if its a choice between improving the National Body mass index or rescuing the National Dish its a no brainer tasty fries tipped the scales every time. Many big events have been canceled in light of the corona pandemic so right now big theaters and concert halls remain empty and dark which means that there is little to do for people who are normally responsible a lighting up big. Like the german light artists georg fights but now he is using his skills to show solidarity with the italian victims of cope with 19 we visit had a light designer in a backyard in munich to see the show he has dreamed up to bring back a glimmer of hope. From what i think is fantastic would be to meter to whole thing its like a dream or what im very impressed its very difficult. You know corns are creatures that inspire the imagination of the symbolize miracles and healing and all good things and found a good one for the record i. Wanted to get the idea 1st started on people in italy are singing fire balconies from the other guinea of the quarantined of the one we saw what was happening on easleys balconies we thought of them and our great recording was well weve got this toy. On top the brits indeed in showing off the European Solidarity with its only there were political shortcomings to say especially at the beginning of the pandemic so i says the 2nd time europe has let me down and hearing a really big crisis is good lawson but if you think because it was off and on those used a moment of hiding i didnt understand the atmosphere in italy very well but you know that over the people there were really angry but i think especially by german politics titans its in because we wanted to send a signal that not all of them had lost their phone this creates a link or so and thats how it turned out.
