But since the beginning of the pandemic many manufacturers have not been able to sell their products the french are now being called upon to sell their patriotism go out and eat cheese. In a region famous for its cheeses they declared emergency theres simply too much good cheese in storage due to the coronavirus french or cheese maker baton has close to 10 tons of cheese maturing in his cellars and thats creating more than a storage problem cheese has a limited shelf life in particular. To come in for. More than 2 and a half months you cant sell it anymore. Very nice or negative 44th would start to appear in the rye and it would grow to think. It would acquire too strong a taste. During the kobe 1000 lockdown artist and all cheeses remained behind closed doors thousands of french cheese shops were shut as were the regional cheese counters in supermarkets restaurants were closed as well so consumers were left eating prepacked mass produced cheeses with long shelf lives. Children who were stuck at home with their families found themselves without their favorite varieties and were not happy about it. Oh no we dont have any gets cheese anymore.

Pain has hit a nerve with cheese lovers in recent weeks consumption has risen in france and the stockpiles of cheese are getting smaller all the time. Shes makers like batonga are pleased the french are proving so patriotic they hope france can avoid another lockdown that forces people to eat mass produced products. Everyone should enjoy the fruits of cheesemakers labors. Its time for a new episode of our series the russia where we bring you stories about the everyday lives of russians living outside the countrys major cities our correspondents met up with dimitri kong called hes a steel worker and unlike many other russians he hasnt been affected by the Economic Impact of the corona crisis he tells us why he loves his job and his hometown located some 500 kilometers north of moscow and why he sees no reason to move to a bigger city. 1st a breathalyzer test. To me to be controlled has to do a test every time he goes to work or its a required safety regulation of a ship or gets metallurgical combine one of the largest steel foundries in russia. For years to me today concorde has been working at Blast Furnace number 5 which he and his colleagues affectionately call somebody on the nordic beauty. Its a fiery hell more than a 100 meters long which swallows iron ore and coke at the top and spits out liquid pig iron at the bottom. Of the chimney as if. The goal is to melt pig iron and the Blast Furnace fire is a good. One but so we enter money. A pig iron is cleaned. Pressed and shaped right next door the end result is steel a material thats used everywhere on construction sites in the gas and Automobile Industries its an indispensable symbol of russias heavy industry. Is also something that i came here when i was 20 or very young right after the army. Put on radio back then this was and still is one of the most secure places in the country in terms of income and social security. More than 70000000. 00 tons per year russia ranks 5th in the world in Steel Production to me to be concord is proud to contribute he loves his country his company and the glowing steel. If there were then you believe that the foundry my life would be more complicated id have to move somewhere else to make money. Dimitri value security most of all as do many and share. Here and there with the stable income and stable social benefits and the reason why people stay can you please there isnt a new unrest or protest here. People are in a decent wage and they know that this money will be safe for them tomorrow some. Of the more than 300000. 00 inhabitants more than a 10th are employed at the foundry they earn on average the equivalent of 900. 00 euros per month almost twice as much as in many other professions here. The biggest of the cause the beat of my son wants to go to College Later i can afford it i can also provide a future for my wife and daughter and thats what i call stability. He believes that russian president Vladimir Putin is partly responsible for this economic stability putin has ruled the country for 20 years and is still among the most popular politicians for many russians. In all honesty i have respect for putin. First hes a mushnick a mans man as i am. I work in an all male collective as a Blast Furnace foreman with machine real men in russia thats a term used to describe someone who you can rely on any situation and someone who consistently pursues his goals and i cant call it love i love my wife and daughter of course but i have respect for putin present during his composure. His resilience. Even though he appreciates putin personally the steel worker from the north west isnt really satisfied with russian politics in general. But i dont want to get into geopolitics and talk about things like the marriage of certain parts of the country or Foreign Policy and political we have enough problems in the country that we should address. Remote villages for example or problems in agriculture which for pneumonia. We should import ordinary cucumbers from china to grow them here ourselves just like during soviet times. But to me tree concord doesnt want to live in soviet times cut off from the outside world. Takes a few generations and then were friends with the others and the others have more respect for us. The main thing is that his nordic beauty his Blast Furnace number 5 continues to spew out enough to keep his future safe. Many of you will probably remember how for a few weeks the supermarkets in many parts of the world had empty shelves one of the items that people stockpiled at home was flour and even today the demand for this everyday item is still pretty high so people live close to milk actually have an advantage i reporter abigail in the land she is a miller and she is thrilled that her rather Traditional Craft is a celebrating a comeback. Brixton is home to working with no one for the winter no longer drives its sales flower is still ground here so 1862 the mill stone was wind powered then it was driven by steam engine no it runs on electricity. Lead Miller Abigail hose normally grinds flour here twice a month the mill host tours for School Classes and the annual bread and beer festival. In brixton a london borough once known for its roughness it had become a real draw. But the coronavirus changed all that. Still more flowers now being mill here than ever. The wood is that we tend to get maybe 7 or 20 bags of flour. Since the pandemic is here those orders of increase dramatically for the bakeries are trying to make sure they can produce bread and people can fly because they can gain supermarkets hyundai will be able to make bread and pass the patients cakes and things like that and then theres the local food bank. Personally delivers donations of flour from the brixton windmill. But the term like this when people look into various cases you could really see. By your own. Oh and you could be one on one here in britain theres a real sense of community and the mill is a big part of that. History and not come help in. Coping up the mill which is a charity in itself but also help you know people in the area you want to get access to good Quality Ingredients and good flow that they can use to make her feel. So its pretty likely the flour ground at the brixton windmill will remain popular even after the corona crisis is over. With that weve come to the end of today is filled with thank you so much for watching who would join us next week for another this and focus on the europe for me and the rest of the team goodbye and see you a next time.
