we are shown similar photos by another native of romania. he works for the german trade union confederation. advising contractual. no workers from southeastern europe many of them work for so contractors says these companies are buying up houses to accommodate workers and that's causing problems locally. in the german state of north rhine-westphalia for example subcontractors are buying so much real estate that the prices are being driven up and now the people who live there can no longer afford to buy their own homes. and that's not the only reason this of contracting system is being so hotly debated but how does it actually work in the meat industry for example. if a company x. doesn't have enough personnel then it gets the workers through an external service provider company why that's the sub contractor who takes on production at company x. the workers therefore are under contract with the sub contractor even though they are working at company x. . and if company y. doesn't have enough people then it hires them from companies called. con

of the country many villages here are practically depopulated as is to be needed in southern romania. mariana caused a i spent about 2 months working as a fruit picker on a farm in the area she says she couldn't stand it any longer before that she'd worked in italy for 13 years. while she was away her children stayed at home with their grandmother. would take a little job simple but i couldn't accept sleeping 8 to a room and that people would share one bathroom with a kitchen for 30 people give us an almost the full time we wanted to give. her greatest fear was catching the coronavirus. i have only one mask if i'd known that we wouldn't get any masks from our employer during corinth i'd have taken 2 or 3 more sometimes i even wore it when it was when. i was afraid to go to see many bones but with 14 or 15 people in it some of them standing a few on the floor and some sitting on others. germany's covert 1000 protection rolls should have applied to the eastern european fruit pickers. in germany at the bavarian farm where mariana picked strawberries we tried to get a look behind the sce

1st with the train then the bus he couldn't be more leave to be back in his tiny village in southern romania. i've been working on and off in germany for the last 12 years but what i went through in the last 3 months was the most difficult experience of my life. back in april alberto go-go and his wife were flown to germany to help with the harvest taking on the work meant leaving their children behind but. we had to make promises to stop them from crying one of them wanted a bike another some seats. at the airport passengers kept their distance and had their temperature taken that the plane was full of parents who ended up on an asparagus farm there was no social distancing there not in the buses to the fields nor in the containers for the workers slapped. instead of 2 pretty and there were 4 the risk of infection was sky high. the asparagus farm gave me the food it was humiliating i slept on the road and went hungry. things went from bad to worse when he got to the tonus meat processing plant. i was scared of getting sick how can you pay attention to distancing when you're holding 15 kilos

we have guest workers from romania and sometimes they live 10 people in this same apartment they were. as for nothing and that's the problem. they are blaming the meat factory but the virus is still everywhere one of the reasons could be that people are working there in close proximity without maintaining the necessary save distance officials in berlin and local governments say this is the responsibility of business owners. the company must have civil liability through behavior where people obviously do not abide by rules corp took an entire region hostage it is currently being about he waited very carefully whether and against which rules the company has violated and where it can be held liable for those tasked with looking after workers rights of buying the german government saying they're willing to open a dialogue on improving conditions they accused of being all talk no action they have already been enough in nonsense and promises who heard it all before but nothing ever happens the company operating this plant of refused all requests for comment when it comes to working conditio

is open for example people from luxembourg cannot travel freely there are some hotspots in bulgaria romania and also spain and people from there cannot go freely where they want some countries are blocking tourists from romania. out of their country so we have to to look at every country if you want to travel in the website by the e.u. commission the court he you reopen it which tells you where to go away you cannot go into you have to fill forms and it's more complicated than the boards was before corona but in principle you can travel as of now what about the growing concerns about a possible 2nd wave is the e.u. better prepared today than in march to contain new outbreaks. the european union is certainly learned its lessons since opening for travel again in june put it to agreed that they need a more regional approach to close borders again like it was in the 1st round of lock down is not the way they want to do it the german interior minister has 0 of us it is today he wants to avoid to do this or to close of borders at any cost you have to identify the hotspots and prevent people from

romania is experiencing a spike in cases. many blame the release of covid—19 patients from hospitals. how each outbreak is handled really matters. so, as we have seen in the uk, there could be a very slight rise in the last few days. in germany there has also been a small increase, and there it is blamed on young people not taking the disease seriously. in romania there are very clear signs of an increase, but in italy, which was very badly hit, there has not been a rise so far. in any event, the numbers involved are far lower than they were earlier this year. we are not seeing a new wave, we are seeing resurgence of outbreaks in many countries, and that resurgence could spread if countries are unable to control it, but we have the epidemiological means to do so, and countries throughout europe are showing that they can do that, have done that in the past, and hopefully will continue to do that without having to do another general lockdown. but what about the rest of the world? well, it's more worrying. in the united states

if we move further to the east towards eastern europe, romania is a country thatis eastern europe, romania is a country that is experiencing a cluster of new cases, but it remains the case that the worst affected part of europe is the southeast balkan region, so we are talking about serbia and kosovo, and health missions in kosovo are warning that hospitals are already overwhelmed so it's a pretty bleak situation —— health officials in kosovo. we know about northeast spain on the impact that's having on british tourists andi that's having on british tourists and i guess the thing we take from all of this is that it's clearly a very difficult time in all of the countries we are talking about but if you were trying to take a holiday this year, if your plans have already been postponed, it's looking like 2020 is the year when nothing can be planned with any certainty. our correspondent in brussels, nick beake, thank you. the uk's biggest tour operator, tui, is closing more than 160 high street stores. it says it's responding to changes in customer behaviour. let's talk to our business cor

versus the seasonal workers from hungary romania bulgaria and ukraine bus together from their shared accommodation to the cucumber crops ready for harvesting it said that hygiene standards weren't strictly followed the variant opposition parties see the state government is partly to blame there have been a lack of special measures in both slaughterhouses and on farms. however the various health minister praised the quick reaction of the authorities and called on the public to go for testing. its therefore also important in my opinion that the population here also gets tested so that if they want to travel they can then travel accordingly with a certified negative test. test of patient vising come throughout the outbreak the district of dingo of england is on the verge of exceeding the infection rates of 15 every 100000 people on a regional lockdown would be imposed is still unclear. well north korea has placed the city of k. song near the border with south korea under total lockdown after a person was found or showing symptoms of covered 19 john called an emergency meeting on saturda

germany are looked after in their homes by care workers from eastern europe mostly from poland and romania and bulgaria placement agencies promised german families personnel who will be available around the clock to look after their relatives. and if we don't have enough caregivers and especially not registered caregivers their sons it's who would be able to fill these extra $300000.00 jobs so we are dependent on the care workers from eastern europe to take care of the elderly there's no other way he mentions of . being there is now following the trial from bulgaria the labor court in berlin has already ruled on the lawsuit and ordered her former employer to pay her $42000.00 euros in back wages but the sentence was appealed the final decision is now pending. the my message to my colleagues and all the others is you have responsibilities but you also have rights that you should defend but. the question now is whether other care workers will follow in her footsteps. well for the 1st time since the coronavirus fans and they began a spectators will attend a major sporting event in germany the

are not allowed to go to germany was out quarantine also the baltic states have been to travel from romania and you heard the germans are considering mandatory checks at the border has been people come back from the hotspot areas in europe but i have to say that if you look at the numbers from the european center of disease control this morning actually the numbers are not that high there's a tendency of a spike of infections but far away from the spikes we had in the 1st of even a pro may but nevertheless people are varied and the experts here in brussels say it's not the travel as such but how people behave in the distant nation and also at home that causes the problem so there's no appetite to close borders again it's very important to bring in that type of perspective right now what about preparedness is the e.u. better prepared today than it was back in march to contain any possible 2nd wave i agree with you we need to be very cautious about how we describe this right now. but the european commission in brussels is trying its best to coordinate the efforts of the member states make thi
