00:00Red Coral is a marine organism that grows extremely slowly and can take decades to form a large colony.
00:06Since ancient times, it has been used in jewelry because of its striking color and glossy hard texture.
00:11According to UN estimates, its value can exceed $5,000 per kilogram.
00:16Maria Salomidhi explained to your news why the illegal trade in this precious marine organism can be so lucrative.
00:21This is what is very important with the cotton coral.
00:27It is the characteristic of its skeleton.
00:30It is the characteristic of its source.
00:32It is the characteristic of its source.
00:32It is the characteristic of its source.
00:34It can be used to be used as a human being.
00:40It is a material that can be used in the cosmopolitan world.
00:43There is also a paradox in which, in some way, the coral is like a sheltered, like something that protects
00:56the disease.
01:35In Greece, Italian nationals were caught harvesting red coral from the seabed of Skopelos with the shipment destined for Italy.
01:43In Greece, it is not just the same.
01:51Now, how much more sustainable can it be?
01:53I don't want to answer that.
01:56As for the Italians, if they come alone,
02:01or if they do not know,
02:05they do not know.
02:06But the only thing that we would have to be sure is that if one of them had increased,
02:13it would have been more successful.
02:52I wanted to put the theater into a situation where, in some way, even in a naive way, I thought,
02:59and I believe it was so, that art and culture
03:02did not focus on anything, and I found it extremely interesting and challenging.
03:10People who had the ability to think about themselves, so this tells us that art and culture can really come
03:17to everyone.
03:18If it doesn't come, it's because you don't do the work necessary to make it happen.
03:39Life is outside and leads you to lose.
03:42It leads you to lose all those aspects that, as it seems stupid to say, I'm actually finding it here.
03:50So, this is a metaphor that, in my opinion, is very important.
03:56I, within that, losing my freedom, within the maximum opening, I find the maximum opening.
04:19It is an absolute admiration for the work of the Compagnia della Costezza
04:24and for something that, in my opinion, is always more rare in the theater, not only in Italian,
04:30but that is a combination of imagination,
04:35joy, energy
04:37and absolute passion for the stupor,
04:40which, in my opinion, is the soul of the world.
04:42And here is everything.
04:57It's April 1912.
05:00In the photo, five scientists are preparing to set up a telescope in the Bierzo Valley.
05:06The Royal Astronomical Observatory of Madrid choose a town of Cacavelos
05:10to observe the last solar eclipse that crossed the Iberian Peninsula.
05:15114 years later, Spain is preparing to welcome a trio of consecutive eclipses.
05:21The two eclipses that will happen in the year 2026 and 2027,
05:26the two in the month of August,
05:28are total eclipses.
05:30That is, that the moon completely opens the disk of the sun.
05:33The total phase of the upcoming eclipse will only be visible from the northern tip of Siberia,
05:38the east coast of Greenland and Western Iceland before reaching Spain,
05:42leading to an increase in reservations across the 12 autonomous communities
05:46through which the phenomenon will pass, especially in inland areas.
05:50To have the opportunity, in approximately three years,
05:53to see two eclipses totales and an eclipse anular moving
05:58unos pocos cientos de kilómetros o decenas de kilómetros,
06:01pues es algo que no hay que perderla, la oportunidad de hacerlo.
06:05La Red Española de Desarrollo Rural estima que el trio de eclipses
06:08podría generar un impacto económico de unos 1.400 millones de euros
06:12por localidades de la submeseta norte, la conocida como España vaciada,
06:16a lo largo de estos tres años excepcionales para la observación astronómica.
06:20Desde Madrid, Javier Iñiguez, para Euronews.
06:28Ithaca, en la Ionía del océano del océano de la Oeste de la Oeste de la Oeste,
06:32se encuentra muy bien de las destinos más populares de la Oeste.
06:35A pesar de sus aguas cristales y las aguas de las estrellas,
06:38nunca ha sido entre las Oeste de la Oeste de la Oeste.
06:41Ahora, por ejemplo, siguiendo a la Odexia de Christopher Nolan,
06:43los fans de Homer y Odiseos están adicionando Ithaca a sus itinerarios de la Oeste.
06:47I studied Greek when I was a child and I studied the Odyssey.
06:53I like Odiseos and this is my dream.
06:59The mayor of Ithaca expects tourism to increase following the Hollywood film,
07:03although he says the full impact will become clear during the next tourist season.
07:08I still don't have a great view on the island because of the film.
07:13This program will come from the time,
07:16where the film will play slowly and slowly in the world
07:19and that's why they will go in the process to come to the island.
07:24Local business owners, however,
07:26are already seeing signs that the island is gaining international recognition
07:29following the film's release.
07:30They are already with the tourists who have been talking about this project
07:36that something will happen.
07:38So, this has already,
07:39even though they have not played in all the cinema,
07:42all these things,
07:43they have begun to be recognized
07:45and a recognition of the world based on this.
07:49The souvenir shop owners have known for years
07:51what draws many visitors to Ithaca,
07:53none other than Homer and the Odyssey.
08:08The permanent exhibition light on Homeric Ithaca
08:11presents archaeological finds that link modern day Ithaca
08:14with Odysseus legendary homeland.
08:16I think it's a good way to get more people interested in Homer
08:20and in mythology in general,
08:23but it's definitely not accurate to the original text.
08:30From the time,
08:31there will be an impression,
08:32an increase in which we can say
08:35will be the months that usually are dead,
08:38in October, maybe November,
08:40or March, April,
08:42which usually are silent months in Ithaca.
08:44And again,
08:45we will realize that this is the story of Nolan
08:48in the first stage,
08:49but the story of Nolan is Roman.
08:57And with patterns, scissors and threads,
08:59we step into a centuries-old craft
09:01that is becoming increasingly rare.
09:03In this tailor's workshop in Lisbon,
09:05a suit takes shape from raw fabrics
09:07and the ingenuity of someone
09:09who learned this art more than 20 years ago.
09:11I took my short course in Madrid,
09:15with 21 Spanish,
09:17and I believe that of those 21 Spanish,
09:20I've already been the best in the course.
09:23And in the days of today,
09:24I'm one of the few who still remain in the profession.
09:28Polo Batista is one of the few Portuguese
09:30who successfully persists in keeping the craft of tailoring alive.
09:34Here, a suit can take up to 60 hours to produce,
09:37but for now, there is no shortage of customers.
09:41In a world increasingly dominated by fast fashion,
09:44an item that lasts a lifetime is expensive
09:46only in the eyes of some.
09:48When a person thinks that doing work is expensive,
09:53I always ask what time you think the fact will have.
09:57If it is to use two times,
09:59it's probably expensive.
10:00Now, if a fact lasts 20-30 years,
10:04if you dilute the value for years of durability,
10:07I'm sure it's much cheaper than a fast fashion.
10:11Faced with the growth of an industry that produces on a massive scale,
10:15this Taylor believes the profession may suffer
10:17and will certainly have to adapt.
10:21Acho que as profissões não vão morrer
10:23porque, enquanto houver necessidade,
10:26as pessoas vão se reinventar.
10:27Agora, eu acredito que, provavelmente,
10:29o alfaiate daqui a 20 anos
10:31não trabalha como o trabalho que eu faço,
10:35que é igual como se fazia há 30 e há 40 anos atrás,
10:38porque eu só aprendi dessa forma.
10:39Acho que se vão adaptar.
