But we begin in sicily the coronavirus pandemic is worsening the already desperate situation for refugees italian right wing nationalists are stirring up sentiment against them by saying there are allegedly carriers of the virus. The coronavirus pandemic has made life even more challenging for some of the most Vulnerable People here in the south of sicily. There is no justice for migrants no justice each month they should pay bills how can i possibly do this. That this man from somalia tells us he is stuck here without work or a place to sleep authorities at the Migration Center promised to return his passport last december but he still has received any papers people who showed up for their appointments this morning tell us the pandemic has delayed processes here not having the necessary paperwork can affect their legal status in the country and ability to work life underneath the bridge is the only option for some of those lacking their paperwork 8 people have been sleeping in this camp for the past 25 days one of them tells us with no money or support they are holding out until their cases can be heard incidents like this have managed to stir up Public Opinion against migrants and refugees a few dozen new arrivals escaped from an overcrowded current and facility in the city of 2 weeks ago most were found by police none tested positive for the coronavirus not fear but seeing the good in people is what migrants and refugees need during the pandemic omar so knows this from his own experience the 31 year old gandhian works in a center that houses migrants and refugees and helps them prepare for their life in Italian Society when saloon arrived in italy in 2014 he was initially presented with limited opportunities to help him integrate helped. People get from morning to night and to. So that. You can. Its like something that is killing you intimately so.

Looks after my going to workers many of them undocumented she has been treating back injuries and the forces in her mobile clinic free of charge and anonymously she says precarious working conditions make migrants more vulnerable to coronavirus but theyre also being stigmatized. I am worried because these people still continue to be invisible this is a big problem for all of italy especially if these people are seen only as people who are sick and spread the virus sauna. Jaring the interview a patient shows up he says he escaped a cornered facility and is now showing symptoms of code 19 the team are 1st into a hospital for testing though it is unlikely the Tunisian National will go there out of fear of being deported. Migration was a divisive issue in sicily long before coronavirus far right leaders have been using the issue for political gain claiming migrants are bringing the virus to the islands says the mayor of port and. Shes been trying to drum up support for a tangible solution new arrivals would need to be distributed across sicily and the whole of italy reducing the numbers of people in the cilia Reception Centers and limiting the spread of coronavirus there sicily is currently experiencing a rise in code 1000 cases after the pete. The Holiday Season containing the virus is likely to remain a challenge here. Climate change is causing record temperatures in parts of the Russian Arctic president s and scientists are alarmed because the hot summer is jeopardizing not only the foundations of homes in the siberian permafrost. You can see the heat shimmer even now at the end of summer a few weeks ago they had set a new record 38 degrees celsius thats the highest temperature ever recorded within the Arctic Circle people here are usually proud of a different experience their town is one of 2 places that claim to be the coldest on earth. Were used to the cold people here cant handle that sort of heat everyone bought electric fans they were totally sold out here people had ice cream and cold drinks we arent prepared for these conditions. We swam and worked it was fine even in the winter when its minus 60 degrees centigrade here we eat ice cream so working when it was 38 degrees wasnt a problem either. The climate is changing every year and the ice is slowly melting people say the winters have gotten a bit warmer and the summer has moved by a whole month its longer now. With the with. The buildings in very are on stilts designed to drive down into the permafrost and give them a solid base the pillars also keep the houses raised so they dont melt the ground underneath but rising temperatures could threaten the very foundations of this town. Because the permafrost is melting houses here could collapse because theyre built on pillars our Public Utilities are. Built on supports which have their foundations in the ground if they move there could be accidents there will be all sorts of problems if Global Warming intense allies. Will. Continue with. This years summer may have been a novelty for people and their high yeah but it could spell an unstable future for russias arctic. For decades Migrant Workers from nicaragua have been crossing the border into costa rica to earn money on farms but the coronavirus pandemic has worsened the situation for many of them with border closures and exploitation. A blue steel fence is all that separates costa rica from nicaragua here. Elsewhere concrete posts mark the border. Every morning nicaraguans cross the frontier to work on farms in costa rica they are brought by truck to work illegally on fruit rice and beans plantations. They earn less than half the official minimum wage theyve been doing it for decades but now the border is closed because of the Global Health emergency gustava from nicaragua accounts himself is one of the lucky ones hes officially resident in costa rica his wife is not but officials tested them both for the corona virus. d the situation is worrying ive been tested twice thank god both results were negative but 2 of my colleagues got infected so now we have to be tested again and. Dozens of undocumented workers tested positive at this border pineapple farm only around a 5th are registered in the costa rican Social Security system. They earn less than 400. 00 a month working 12 hours a day for many its the only way they can feed their families back home in nicaragua where conditions can be much worse. The costa rican foundation areas for peace is critical of the poor treatment of the nicaraguan Migrant Workers it says exploitation is widespread but i did notice Everybody Knows about the Smuggling Networks everyone knows the woman who rents her garden hose to the migrants so they can wash their feet. But they all know how much it costs. That they all know about the taxi driver who will tell the migrants when the police have gone or when theyre taking a lunch break the coronavirus has just uncovered that reality you know is one risk that migrants pay Trafficking Networks as much as 200. 00 to smuggle them across the border. Costa rica does not publish the nationalities of coronavirus patients but many blame the nicorette you and workers for the growing number of covert 19 cases as well as raising tensions the pandemic is highlighting the precarious conditions enjoyed by my quince forced to cross central americas borders to find work. During the coronavirus pandemic dancing has been banned in many venues clubs remain shut including in berlin so the scene is looking for alternatives legal ones. Berlins club scene is world famous but corona is threatening its existence. Clubs like this one have been empty for months. Now that scene is the only hope for many owners. Weve already seen examples of brawn showing that it really doesnt work in south korea they thought they had the pandemic under control because they had hardly any new cases then they opened the clubs and they had their 1st case in a club within the week which meant that the clubs had to be closed down again. People are itching to dance again. Illegal raves have been taking place weekly in berlins house in hyde park up to 5000 are thought to have attended one last saturday. Lara was one of them she wanted to remain anonymous. Just look around you at every football match there are at least 22 people on the field with substitutes youve got up to 30 or 40 people and they were very quick to allow that again. Every day sure with restrictions but this categorical ban ignores the needs of the party community. But receivers seem to be ignoring the threat of the coronavirus. I think the problem with a lot of people is that they cant understand why open air options are not being made available in the can offer its the buzz they dont see an infection risk because there have been numerous large events such as demonstrations with no infections. It would appear that there is little danger of infection. So i guess people say why not make it legal and if its not made legal they do it illegally on this initially guy mom come on this thing mackenzie is im fearful. Many club owners have asked district authorities to allow open air events theyve been waiting months for a decision. But with fall and cooler weather fast approaching the window of opportunity for open air events is closing and with it possibly many of the citys beloved clubs.
