and emergency services, a fighting to bring wall fires under control in south eastern spain. places are broken out and melted mountain area is the county of the seas and the high temperature is in the region. we look forward to say the landscape and drive vegetation a like a tend to box fisherman and venezuela, a warning of an unusual invasion of jelly fish, millions that are paid off the coast in recent weeks of really affecting much needed fishing and tourism industries. alexandra bias reports, local fishermen are calling it the plague. millions of cannibal jelly fish choking waters across the venezuela's coastline. q and the way. yeah, well no, nothing much used to see a little on every now and then. now it's like the flowers in the sea floor. now it's too much too much, too much salary must be on sale. i must see all this warm seemed to appear out of nowhere. it's thousands of miles from where this species is normally found in the

atlantic pacific and gulf coast. the invasive jelly fish is filling fishing nets and crowding out other species and is having a severe impact on the fishing and tourism that locals depend on. but i wouldn't put them i know. see, i don't. ok, let me know. when you dive in the box to look proficient you brush against a lot of jelly fish with your head. you body get stung along here account. look, the fish right now with completely stuck up into moving weekly halls, have dropped to less than a 5th of what they once were. local organizers say it's the industry's biggest decline in recent years. and then as well as environment ministry says, warming waters caused by climate change. pollution and over fishing, maybe to blame scientist in the capital are trying to pinpoint the exact cause. the invasion to say is when you're going to add the because this isn't

a typical event that's occurring, it's a complete and normally in previous he is only a few has been observed. however, the increase in the population of this year has completely exceeded previous estimates. what i'm saying, daniel jellyfish populations around the world have seward in recent years. the thrive and harsh conditions and need very little oxygen. and researchers are warning of a looming tipping point, where jelly fish could overwhelm other species and dominate the world's ocean. alexandra buyers out a 0. well that's it for me, nora kyle: you can find much more on a website that sounds. is there a dot com and i'll be back with more news. so now to sierra, to generation change, the being a journalist is a privilege. i get to the heart of the story amplified the voices of those who have

been drowned out by the noises of war is my driving force is what pushes me to take risks. we're just going to try to take up as a safety position. reading the trying to find the words the truth. it's that challenge and the huge responsibility we keep one of the issues and decision makers in check. so the devastating human tossed up their decisions. the reason the soldiers base themselves in this house is because it's as the edges of the janine refugee cab. and from here they have, it's their view of working at the 0 enables me to make that positive voice as relevant to so that this mode that unites us, that divides us on the grease, the black days of democracy,

european philosophy and the like became put more recently, a country associated with a cricketing debt crisis. severe of 13 message on the economic class in 2015, 3 full se found itself on the front lines and the refugee crisis. my name is, am i am ronnie, and i come here at the end to meet 2 young activists. he wants to bring about radical change addressing issues from education and then a quantity to racism. a margaret right? welcome to generation change a global series to attempt to understand and challenge the ideas of mobilizing youth around the world.

or so we currently invade on us, which is where you grew up, right? was there anything about coming up here that particularly most of agency to go into activism to participate in a senior governments in 5th grade, actually representing the students and in many important issues as raising money for pay people from lower economic backgrounds from students to participate in a school shopping people, some of the families, the 9 do not be left behind and your parents with a politically active. yeah. both my parents are a trade unionist but from my early ages i remember my pardon. so it's telling me about how it's respect every, every person, no matter there are back around their, their status to

the future. you're a co founder, a youth organization. good working really uh, near on. could you tell me, with a name comes from, i'm what your main objective box. mm hm. so actually for the means you send the city of the william in, in this city. and now means here we focus on, i organizing people and use it as, as the eligibility rights women's rights, human rights in general, but also the, the educational crisis in their climate crisis as well. we organize people on the street level with demonstrations and sikes, but also organize a lot of open dialogue with the our members and, and young people in general to talk about the important stuff that i was

introducing spaces. and we are now starting to, to do some loving work actually pressing forward solutions to implement. agenda is that work for, for young people as well. hello, thalia may on isn't a line. so political policy, how would you describe the values of it for somebody that's in a different countries? i think they're willing to the progressive left. we have some specific cases that are not like negotiable for us, but we try to to keep the dialogue open. and actually we negotiated with people on our ideas. also, we need to show people that you have to pressure this institution. and this thing for homeowners office to actually work for you and for your interest to

the rosa you were born and raised in greece, but your parents originally come from albania. what's that been like a while in greece? this architecture are born in the country or that true immigration and the age doesn't automatically make you a greek citizen. so although i was born in greece, i was considered an old baby and citizen until 2017, which meant that i had 0 civic right. but no, absolutely no, probably couldn't fully declare presentation and how probably in is to see if the increase started balance my grades in the ninety's stuff there did this illusion of the hybrid communist space. we are currently the biggest, my great 30 minority we have been traditionally targeted by the media. we have been perceived as the dangerous as the criminal, as the somebody to watch out for. and so yeah, in, in a way it has made it easier. so for us, the senior agent, the great society you've

been involved in the fastest movements and i wanted to know what it was about your life experiences that kind of shape to a journey into activism. the moment i started being actively involved with the movement was when i was 13 years old, that's going side of the between the beginning of the financial crisis in greece. he spoke with being point to a certain moment in time. that's really spyglass to get claims. it would be when the police came, the 15 year old boy, his name was alexis who wrote all bruce, the nonsense. and that the sparkle, the big movement of demonstration that moved from um, from austin and sped all over greece. and spoke about their struggles. but also represented many different topics that we were fighting for from, for these personality for presentation to off roadside should be a better life for

so we don't want to his background. i'd like to know a bit about the work that you do with my friends, particularly. yeah, so we are a non profit association. we are collective for when doing an option where it says illustrating call ideas and a phone racism and all sorts of fun, social and live discrimination. and we lack representation of people like us, employee, thanks and government and hire, let's say, like of aspects of society. so we're really keen on promoting that to the elements here, petra and rosa being here today. both of you have grown up during that time and

numerous social and economic. i'll people in greece. where is that? how do you think that this is defined things to your generation? well, i think when somebody says, for those verse that they've is most probably 2 ways you can go about. one of them is to, you know, put your head down and let it destroy you. and the other one is to push against it, then somehow elective define you positively. i think cuz i come from the generation that was facing the financial crisis and then was to keep up with what they call the refugee crisis. i think um we were confronted with a lot of different of age and structures and phenomena, but most of us these come through more easily. and then again, i cannot meet the truth, which is that a lot of us faced with this of the verse of the we, we had to fly. like i have to say that a lot of my peers, my class may i say one of my generation dates we need agrees. i thing that we came

stronger after this, through this crisis that we face as durations. something that have to do out is the last of space in the democratic institutions that our generation is facing. and that is something really difficult for, for people to understand them is democratic institutions going to work for you. and something that we need is stronger representation of, of the people of all race in apartment. and then any uh, local or national or original plays. the decisions are being made is interesting that you say that young people don't have trust in democratic institutions because the last government actually no device engaged to 17. and i wanted to know what do you think that means that young people have more of an active voice in politics in greece? i think though it gave us a sense of responsibility because it was the 1st time that we got to vote. but the problem is that the, the h to get elected is still the same. it's 25 years old. so that doesn't change

anything when it comes to my presentation. and because i wanted to ask you, your experience has been different. so could you explain a bit about what your civic rights have been like in greece? yeah, is there is a difference between being able to participate in the system. and how is the voice hurt than actually being represented in the system? go from what they call as a 2nd generation migrant degrees, which basically means that you're either born from migrant parents increase or you migrate that an early age. and i believe most of your life in greece. so you have all of the medications as a pro for greek citizen, no taxpayer, but none of the civic rights. and i think one of the most important things that we need to understand is that you cannot vote. i think i come from a generation because 0 is being thing, the greek society, and that is exactly what we're trying to change with our eyes to put greeks like me, the center of this, probably complaints color and when you talk about no feeling visible, you means specific keep coming from a migrant community. we're not having great nation on seeing the 1st place or do

you mean generally for the generation? i think it's a, it's represents the generation of people that have more grades or heritage, and 3 visibility and vision being to do that i like to play was terms also comes from the front of the 2 are very visited for certain terms. and that is when people call you the grant and the cream, you know, and the foreigner, but then you're visible when it comes to anybody. the key thing to accomplish, i think there were lots of specific things that happen in greece. say we call them crises, but also the label comes in it and i wanted to know how well these things that affected the education system and experiences students. i so well, uh we, we have a know, basic um, stuff that we need to know and basic infrastructure that we need in our schools and universities. and the problem is that the current government is, is actually trying to, to turned into the discussing into a certain different direction. do they focus on security and the police on campus

one of the same moment. we don't have some basic stuff, but it's getting versus all around us and all around the world has. it was specifically the, the lowering of us, of budget during the crisis. and especially the, the get that a wide in between not lowering and upper classes. when it comes to private spending . as a english, i need to have to get some private tutoring to get into university. and so it becomes very disproportionate for people of the, for working class people to, to be able to help their kids to prepare the to into get into university. interesting is a way of me, current conservative government said to privatize everything. we've seen that happen with health care and now i think it's a very direct approach towards education. i think you might agree with me. we are very proud to have a public education system english for us. it's important to keep it public and the

conservative government is trying to do it exactly opposite who we were just talking about student politics and i think around the world, she didn't pull it excuse to the left. but more generally in greece, the far right had gained popularity. nice, nice to believe with the near, not secret the golden doing. why do you think that's been the case? said when you have their version crisis and you have a space, i concert, it's a grace that is a talk by many phones they. it's also i'm a grounds that creates different passivity. this one of them is for folks who is narratives, for example, phobic narratives for it creates an opportunity for extreme ideas to come forth because people are struggling, right. and on top of the financial crisis, time $1008.00. in 2015, you had what they call the refugee crisis. so i think the system itself, dave space, so golden don't exist because in that's the way they want it. the main stream, extreme ideas that we actually see today in the conservative government,

we cannot fly. there are specific people in the structures of the car and government that all seen the right side of the spectrum. right. so yeah, i think it didn't feel too large because it needed to express the stronger in october of 2020 the going to and was finally criminalized. and some of the leaders was sent to prison. is that the end of the story when it comes to the going on in the near nazi aspects of the far right increase range and i'll have them in the parliament. they are not in the strong public position that they, where they're not moving drug costs and couple of our days in our mainstream media . but in reality, they still exist. not all of them were jake, and not all of their ideas and narratives are buried somewhere beneath right. they use thing how their support is around. i was talking with some people, there seemed all their own talk, medically they're not. people are not ashamed to say that they support the goals and on and maybe when they be calm,

then we can talk about its ending. but it's definitely not the case right now. do you agree with that? is that people are really ashamed to be associated with the golden don't me? i think of the public out from the introducing decision in 2020. i understand how dangerous calling on was, especially after the killing of, of the popular spaces of families in green communities. and the thing was going crap, are the people understand that it wasn't just a right wing party who was in the united cleaning or pump that was doing some criminal and terrorist activities. but the audio lindsey's is still there and we have one of their members waiting party increase in 2015 of a 1000000 refugees, a migrant landed on the shores of greece and rosa you went to work on the on and of some us. what did that experience show you? yeah, i mean that was definitely on defining experience. i think um, it is still hard for me to express what i went through. but for sure it's thoughts for me in main understand that is as, as a mcgraw, i had a really tough life and

a struggle. and these people are having a dog booth and was it comes from the stock the what the goal. so when they are in the, comes back in the day, the comp was open to day, they are closed security facilities and international engineers like expanding amnesty international have the keys degree government of a legal pushback, some refugees across the border and prison like refugee senses. i wanted to know if you think that's a great public support these measures. i don't think medically public support these measures, but i think that there is a lack of information when it comes to the whole referencing issue increase because the media is now covering other other issues as, as a gas prices or the electricity prices of the war. and ukraine, so i think that especially in the mainstream media has been trying to, you know, and james and dialogue and take it as, as far away as, as

a kind of from and why is that? because the government had turned comes from the space that you could walk into to prison conditions. so there is, i think for me it's a targeted approach to give out as the information as possible. and actually when there is information authentic media, it's being blocked. and those journeys are being even stopped and followed by the government. and i wanted circle back to one key point in the media in the recent international press freedom index, just published by reports, is without borders. greece came last of all your opinion in countries behind bulk area and hungary. were you surprised about that? frankly speaking not, but the context only if we see greece and the media landscape seems to financial crisis. what you observe is up as being really strong to funding of the of the, the media services. so what media does now is that they rely on public funding. what happens there is that the public funding goes to the hands of the media that

are supporting the conservative government. so you have a system that is not fair. you have a system that is not a safe. yeah, the journalist, but i know 1st, the investigative journalist being stopped by the government. so i think it's a, it's a matter of understanding that the ownership and the safety are really, really going down here. and i think it's, it's important to know the government has refused to report this without food as findings. and they said that the majority of newspapers increased exercise phase criticism against the government. pinterest, what do you think about that response from the government? it has nothing to do with the reality we're facing increase because the press and the media here are operated by the one percent of the country. i may say, well i think ties with um the oil business in the shipping industry. and so for me, especially when it comes to, to my climate active is uh, it was really difficult. going to do uh, immediately talking about climate change and talking about how these shipping

companies are destroying local communities. they wouldn't reports because they are owned by the people who are creating the problems and across the world. young people that's happening to social media instead for news information, anything really. and i wanted to know if there was any examples increase that highlighted how certain platforms have been used to amplify issues to bring about positive change. the organization, for instance, gain popularity during the pedantic through social media, especially in the instagram because it gave us the opportunity to actually talk about issues that were not being talked about in, in may. so media, because we're talking about the educational crisis, somehow you wind up and dynamic. we had a inequality between people who could afford having like 2 computers at home having internet access because not everybody indeed, i wanted to make one reaction to as well. we use social media to bring forth social change and it's actually working for them. we've had cases of refugee students have been denied asylum,

and we really pushed the biggest social media campaign or needs to go in facebook. we went there and intervened in his school and when we actually so as to the shang, any posting of that or do visual 5 and our, um, our own are not even our pulse. we actually managed to contribute into a whole system of support. that's got the kids, he's asylum approved. it was a really interesting experience for us because we are you guys and we have a lot of power names to meet. it doesn't give us a space, but social media creat it's it's for us. the show is quote, generation change and i do want to know from both of you how you define your dentist generation compared to that of your parents. so i think that we are one of the most progressive generations. but at the same time with social media, sometimes we get the reason that we're active enough, but does not the case we, we need to be more active. we need to be more organized because our partners gave a lot of fights,

especially during the dictatorship increase. we need people to get through the streets to organized in order to, to actually change something in order to be represented more. uh, but i'm often missing when it comes to, to my generation and being, you know, politically active. and that your experience has been quite different to that with your parents because they came over here from another country. how do you see a world view as being different to this? well, i think this is true for most kids that's coming from my grandparents. we are raised with a bunch of his st. john's and you have to, i'd like to come to terms with the fonts butcher. parents have sacrificed most of their lives and liberties and freedoms for you to enjoy some of what you consider as a like the basic human rights. but yes, the subjugation, the next corporate housing. i grew up being poor for a service and like part of my life. so i don't know if my parents had to go through

that struggling way more than i did. so yeah, i see the privilege, i feel the owners and i feel thankful for their sacrifice. but my job is to make sure that my generation doesn't have to do that for the next picture is totally, it is non partisan. it is outside of the system at the moment. do you think that in the future you're going to have to work within the system in order to bring about change? sometimes we also work with a system uh at that time because uh, basically when it comes to, to talking with the numbers and environment for our representatives. we, we get into conversations with them. uh, that being and partisan organization would be very, very difficult for us, cuz at the moment we, we cannot fight our sales and being represented in our interest being represented by a specific party. and that is a very, a very strange problem for, for us in racing. we need to be represented in hand more. and we need to a political party that will talk about our problems in us,

especially in the education system and, and the working and working rights issue. the people are facing duration. i also want to ask you this question was i, i know that previously had been very on t system, but now you can brussels, which is the heart of the european system. how does that happen? and is that just in and of? it's been a c getting a bit older. i definitely, i think the moment to understand that the, by screaming on the outside you bring forces pacific and minimize changed comes also in a honey high with being i think the older guess as you mature. i think it's just for me and then doesn't have to be the case for everybody. understood that in order to change a system, you need to 1st empower yourself and protect yourself and then enter that system in order to change is going to be then. and i think that's how you change it by bringing people like us in position of power so they can influence the new

legislation and the new decisions that are going to then influence the whole society. i couldn't find any other way to sign the lease of the owner of the things we've talked about. what was the crises, one of the issues, one of the problems, why do you care about change and do you think that it is realistic and possible? i think i do cuz we have some great examples of, of, of things being made. uh, but it needs a lot of work. it is a little simple understanding that they have to be active in us, especially in greece, is that we have been going through. so many crisis that we are power of a powerful enough to, to actually fight for, for our basic rights fight for our presentation. and kind of domestic, that our generation is going to be able to understand and be more inclusive in a way of, of, of making change possible for, for everybody. all of my life have been goals that i cut onto things. it starts

from being our neighbor ground and it goes to being a one day and it goes to being wake up for an area to show his stand today. and i think that i am living proof that you can start from last think and push against the system 1st, i guess i have realistically brings you and there is way more brilliant examples than me. but this is where we have to be a yeah, i feel like i'm scared to empower people and sometimes to present them. so in a way i find this motive because there is a lot of work to be done. petra's was, i thank you so much for being here today. that's all for this episode of generation change here in greece. the same as a full front, a progressive change deluxe in america. this time,

the slides remain high as the violence against gender and sexual minority. i've come to one to 2 young women who have taken different routes to establish greater freedom and equality. welcome to generation change. a whole series attempt to understand. i'm telling you is that mobilize youth around the world. generation change on out you 0. examining the headline is there is hopefully today for the forms of life and god's unflinching journalism. awesome. every interview, just like the war sharing personal stories with a deliver or do you want to create a world where women come and feel naturally release the trauma and creates explore an abundance of world class programming on eligibility era. there's a deliberate mission of posting in humanity in western and it needs to be questions

. this is not the time to, to mr. kind of way. examining the effect that news coverage can have on democracies everywhere. here at the listing past, the in the middle is, is on the bring the people of the region i can from thinking real dangerous. the devastating scale cause a cool to diffuse and the escalate tensions view and security council discusses a wrong attack on israel. the none of them or a kyle, this is down to 0 live from time ha also coming up israel's army really.
