of the $0.93 in the i, c d, w. the hello and welcome to focus on europe with me live show. attacks on press. freedom are increasing globally more than 100 journalists have lost their lives since january 2023. most of them in war zones like gaza and ukraine, but journalists are also assaulted and murdered after reporting about corruption, organized crime, or state sponsored terrorism, even right here in europe. although europe

is consider the world's safest region for journalists to work. organizations like reporters without borders, have been warning about increased levels of violence and the 2023 world press freedom index, grease scored lowest among e u members. investigative journalists here often put their lives at risk. stop cut a vice learned 1st hand how the fight for press. freedom and accountability can lead to grief loss not only for reporters families, but also for the media landscape as a whole. this place still makes her shudder. it's here that starts at cairo. bosses husband was shot dead. it was a friday afternoon, april 9th, 2021, a neighbor called and there'd been a shooting wrong. it seems that jonathan was getting out of the car. he still removed his only cause approaching can never so he stepped back onto the sidewalk. no, it was sunday to come when he was shot it. and this is where he found his body lay

right here. oh, really sure. it'll show me. it looked like an execution. your go scar of us, a respect to police reporter was a familiar face on television. yeah. professor and his investigations focused on corruption within the greek police force and the relationships between big business politics and organized crime effectiveness. yes to, i always felt it was dangerous. i've done what you kept telling me not to worry about that it got settled because it's likely that your ghost was killed for his investigations. the organization, reporters without border believes the killing was a clear attack on freedom of the press. in their ranking of press freedom worldwide, greece occupies the 100 and 7th place, the worst of all you countries. so he is asked the youngest guy about his mother who have not received answers by the greek authorities into the progress of the investigations. and this is one of the factors that have heavily influenced the

greasy is uh, uh, rounding at the entrance to the headquarters of the panel, lennox federation of journalists in athens. this banner commemorates your goals, scar of us. we need journalist town cisco congress. it's his specialty as white collar crime. he tells us how greece has secret service was involved in press freedom violations. we were inquiring some specific cases or for domestic legislation over legislation with the government who was more than hoping who's that facilitated to distinguish economy. crime, greece in several articles for the financial times co. congress criticize the fact that the new laws had made it virtually impossible to prosecute money laundering and tax evasion in greece. initially he said the government trying to pressure the newspaper and hold his report at the same time talk has told us he himself was targeted by the secret service of the same period of time they,

while i was on this happens with a go based on the acknowledges big weekend, we say head start, that looks pretty mental infections with the present. the discoveries made by a co caucus and several other colleagues showed that journalists, the opposition leader and even government ministers, had been wire tapped. the spice software predator had been covertly installed on their smartphones. it was a nationwide scandal. the secret service of me to attack is government was accused of wiretapping, the chief of staff and nephew, me to talk as was dismissed. the doors con, try on us, works for reporters, united and investigating team based in athens. the journalists here were among the 1st to report on the wiretapping scandal, the dismiss chief of staff. demetrius responded by suing of the journalists, continued to minutes, but it seems the same day he stepped down. he filed a lawsuit against us, don't get demetrius demanded over half

a 1000000 euros in damages from all defendants committed by greek or european standards. and this some is a norm. according to reporters, united it's common practice in greece to use expensive lawsuits to silence independent journalists. but often they are the only ones who report abuses of power. another problem is that many large media groups are owned by a powerful business tycoon. most lead ship owners with a nor most economic and political clout, event callous. mara knocked us owns a ship, a soccer club, and a media empire. double those must have a media company, owned by a ship owner won't be reporting on him or on other ship owners. it means the journalist working their practice a lot of self. censorship is just a little excessive, almost awful, media experts and reporters without borders say the threat to press freedom is systemic. the so called triangle of power. so you have like, uh, uh, media,

businessman and politics. it's not unique degrees, but actually the fact that we have the whites up in scandal. we have a motive agenda and is we have to slaps. we have the systemic, like, you know, ownership problems. that basically is a combination of these factors make the ranking of grease stole. many journalists feel threatened in their work. so doors comes right down, often has to fight back his fear. so we don't want to let ourselves be afraid that would paralyze us. we'd stop reporting and that's just what our attackers want, if of them in a position with the public and it takes courage to fight for a free press. it, will my life ever be the same? that's a question that elizabeth often asks herself as a ukrainian teenager, she wonder is when she will be able to lead a care free life. again, walking to school, hanging out with friends, going shopping without worrying about strikes or sirens. she lives in the war

a battered city of hot of keys and while the war is raging on, it is a vegeta and her friends have found a place of refuge where they can forget the world outside and enjoy fun activities just like any other teenager. ready ready ready for a few hours each week they can forget the war outside. ready the rear of dancing school is one of the few projects for children and young people inside a war ravaged hockey back straight and scratch full it's. it's a labor of love by dance teacher natalia. and we've great do the same thing with ira montana embraces you like, oh, after a few hours in the group, they feel much space off the date, the light name was to create and emotionally safe space provided to manufacture. here it's all about switching off and having fun. the physical exertion relieves

stress. most of the children are so called internally displaced persons. they had to leave their towns and villages as the russian army approached. like 14 year old elizabeth cheese from the eastern village of kudos even when she arrived in harkey, her family sheltered in a metro station for 4 months fashionable. i was really sad the 1st few days for sure because there was these explosions unfortunately. and it was so loud, although the bombings down to just as we were leaving the metro station, lots of stuff. so we stayed on the ground and didn't leave us in the, for the after rushes full scale invasion in 2022. the russian army captured large parts of eastern ukraine, like elizabeth to enter family, tens of thousands of ukrainians, but west toward tour and hockey, 2 years later,

they're still having to cope with air rates and missiles. elizabeth lives in a one bedroom apartment with her 3 siblings, her parents, a cousin and her grandmother. her mother, son, is so real lead that her daughter can go out and dance this letter most beautiful in these of a to is being done saying for bad 6 months. and our sons, learning to box is also due to at least the 2 of them can have some sort of social life. oh no, no. it's all much back to that. it was last year for the child on the age because they was said withdrawn. i was really worried about them is i'm going to, yeah, those are by all i should get of southern ocean in the meantime. war has become part of their daily lives. yes. and so when the bombs exploded yesterday, i was listening to music and i put them on the sometimes you know, to me what that band was that was from i tell her it was the nape is so the taste of them to do to she was whatever those explosions from missile defense systems

disrupt their days. sometimes they even hear a missile striking, or is it possible i'm thinking about getting passports. i just didn't see a future for me. i could see it doesn't matter if it's so hard to physically and mentally and watch kids of how the stuff range and all those of us go. lloyd for a little, you'll be young. we don't come back to lessons and they are rewrote in school. the 1st time elizabeth came here, things weren't so easy. i remember i was really nervous about coming here because a different group haven't accepted me soon. as i was afraid it would happen again. but they were very welcoming. and i loved on seeing here. or the me always from ping, amy, or should i was the training is intended to boost the use self confidence. but above all, the dancing and movements can help them rebuild trust when you put your hand

t as well as natalia and her husband alexi demonstrate fully. yes. when i need my partner, he put some of his weight on me. so i bet full responsibility and the but he is now blind and i can see he has to 1180 degrees to see where i'm needing him. he needs that able to get the 10 digit, what's really, what it's important for dancing as a group or as a couple and for life in general, it teaches you to trust, lead and sense each other's presence with your body. it is also about overcoming your fear is just the saw the concept seems to be working the source of uh, i feel good when i'm done saying that i like it to not 11 when i come done, it feels like something's missing. so 345, and so, you know, there's

a beta and the others continue to train that to tell you know, alexys dance, cool. with music and movement, they can forget the war. if only for a few hours to at 1st brands this might look like some kind of potato, but friends of everything or may know that it's a trussel. this particular one is worth hundreds of euros. andrea and mikaela, our brothers, and the whole life revolves around finding m, serving the price, the fun guy, and their hometown of monthly on the dirty, the tool. they have to stay one step ahead of the competition, which does not shy away from using every trick in the book to make a profit. but i will, but i will do i. so did you dig it out, you know, slowly. this is what me kaylee for low san ardo love doing most. yeah. i get i followed by the time for that same thing and then the 2 are hunting for trump and

evidently the wife truffle season is over now. now, argo is sniffing out its little brother, cold beyond kettle, so that's what we got going on. yes, i'm wondering if you have to be careful not to damage white truffles. taking that because it would cut the value of the precious funky and half the wouldn't again get to a truck. those are much cheaper bianco, a key low costs around $300.00 euro. so neither handle it or a key low of white travel. so you can get 7, even 10000 euro. so what i've seen there much of rare cases are all one domain. no, no. where is it to find it? my law, i are going, well, i'm going to do it since it was a child. me, kelly is for it's for truffles around his number in hometown of monterey, only dorothy, yet to his dog. cargo has been at his side for 5 years. a good travel, hunting dog makes for better business, but it also comes with unexpected dangers to tv. i have to work with wal truffles are expensive regardless of the time that again, there are some cruel people in the business to see trouble hunting as

a war because they'll stop at nothing wherever them grist. they'll hide poison's meat balls where your car's part to laced with strict name or snail poison stick, an e mail. we'll put the bill poison your dog over money. oh no, i mean not a kind of finish or so he stays under cover, which also stops snoops from discovering his secret spots. he keeps them all jotting down in a notebook and on his cell phone. it's a treasure map that the 38 year old wouldn't share with anyone. mckelly sells some of the treasures he finds, but the professional chef prepares most of them at cafe 7. he runs the level of gore may travel restaurant along with his brother andre tang. uh, did you find anything about that? that all goes out j. what work was, of course simply begin to look at this being ghetto. yeah. as for the will, where do you find it? i forget it. you might be my brother, but i'm not telling you 100 kilometers away there. unlocking truffles. big

secrets at the headquarters of war. bonnie: it's hard to fees. truffle and pie. the company has cornered over 60 percent of the global travel market. for years scientists there have been trying to crack the genetic code of the precious fund, get they to guard their company secrets like a treasure. we're not allowed to film inside their labs. the results of their research are being put into practice at their start truffle land. leaving the guy, when we planning the plants, we bring the roots into contact with travel sport. and then in this case, with a highly prized black truffle and yellow, we expose the plans to the sports, the wisdom, and a year after reporting. we have them check into both of them. not know that i'm also an independent office confirmed. so whether the roots and the trump of sports have developed this and b a c, i mean, i've been with the, let me go to, if they have what i think we receive a certificate thing to like and we can sell that batch. we sort of with some of

them that are truffle in currently, plants over a $100000.00 trees, a year area selected for cultivation or equipped with sensors, providing data on sort moisture and regulating water supply. once they've grown the black triples, just need the dog to come and sniff the amount. that's what can data and sally do for a living. see needs your car while we connect from 11 in the morning until around 4 pm. unless all this fall so die, then we're not allowed to 100 is the travel? was it time? which is for sonya that is physically these cultivated travel smells just as strong as the other ones we call them up and that diamond. yeah, mounting is the noise. give them it takes around 6 years for an area planted like this to bear fruits or rather truffles. with this method, the world's largest truffle company can guarantee its supply. demand is high and climate change has led to increase the scarcity, the head of the family business is farmers and land owners can also reap the

benefits of trouble cultivation, not that difficult to trust on. so he looks the most profitable products in the world. one heck to that's being used to grow truffles. can bring in a 104000 fuel rose diet. yeah. a pro fee. so this black truffle weighs half a kilo in is valued at 600 year olds. it will soon be sold to customers in the us wasted multiple will most likely sell this travel to someone in new york there. it will end up in a michigan class restaurant where it will be carried from table to table in grated onto the dishes. it's a beautiful, beautiful, delicious, expensive, and the spine or high tech world, still being hunted by the same old symbiotic team, humans. and don't. when we talk about people with addictions, we often mean someone who has a problem with alcohol or illegal drugs. but there are millions of people who are

hooked on gambling and who lost control over how much time and money they spend in front of slot machines. or at the bedding offices. all to often medical roommates in bosnia has witnessed how the hopes of winning big can destroy lives. that's why the psychologist has set out to help others break free from the grip of gambling. we can't use his real name, so we'll pull him elvia. we can only film him from behind. but even appearing on camera tool is a huge step for him to use l. they has a gambling addiction. simple to get started gradually in schools. 15 or 20 years ago was this after a while i got into depth. i borrowed money from everyone, neighbors, relatives, france, old with realty. i ruined my life. my parents lives, my 2 sisters,

my brother in laws and his kids. as soon as i ruined half my family, it's sufficient, as i wouldn't wish it on any one. or was it started was thing go both man, hence the convenience, most popular game of chance. then he began betting on don't races. the ro, casinos on spending shops on every corner. here to do this is one of the bedding shops. i used to gamble in 2 hours or more every day until i had nothing left. also 2 hours, sometimes a whole day. at some point you hit rock bottom with the ruins, so nothing less cameras and nothing allowed inside. the casino is not the state luxury company. finally agreed to give us an interview. they operate casinos throughout the country, but they won't let us film people gambling. this scene is staged. the company doesn't like to talk about people of ruining their lives here. they say the

real problem is private competition. looked at both the state lottery of bosnia and herzegovina is the only company in the whole country that's certified as a socially responsible casino operator and name on new stuff. none of our competitors are certified, was fantastic one quarter, and we should encourage our competitors to also introduce certified social standards. and that way, we could reduce the negative effects of gambling together, plus the negative impact of gambling is this is in 2022 gambling generated almost $875000000.00 euros in the boston, yet pruitt and cnn, statistically each adults, both in, in news is around one month salary a year to gambling and that's a conservative estimate. the play is also getting younger, which is also the condition of the problem is lack of enforcement so much. we have people under 18 are not allowed to bel yeah,

it was up in that. but every where you look, thing is with the bedding. shops are full of young people. i just want to put them like experts claim that the typical gambler is a married father between 30 and 45 years old. finding themselves not spending enough to feed the families. they see gambling as a way around and sucky done every day. i work with people facing this problem will be to my families in which gambling has become an addiction. what's kind of e stuck with them every day. i see lights ruined families corner part photo, the people living with mental illness. so you might as me what it's done, i'm in town on plan, psychologist tomato ru, mitch estimates. there are 50000 people addicted to gambling in bosnia and herzegovina. he's the only don't during the whole country volunteering to help them . hardly any one can afford treatment. sophia type problem,

it's the same problem everywhere, and then it's an absolute catastrophe. next to split up allowed to pick up the floor. we don't have enough resources to get a handle on the problem. so the less and most the most i think the blue and unfortunately you mind the authorities here have no intention of changing that because the disabilities now at least the advertisement. so gambling to be restricted room, which started the self help group 14 years ago. it's still the only one in the whole country they meet and on. i'm assuming every friday, a gambling addiction still holds a powerful stigma. everyone brings a family member along because the families are also in urgent need of support. elvia has been coming here every friday for 6 months. he says it was like being re bone ever since i met him. i've said he 1st comes,

god. does that and the doctor that says it all we ever since before i couldn't sleep. i couldn't eat sight was withdrawn. i couldn't really talk, it's not even with my own family. so for now everything has changed. i've opened up . i can talk to anyone, so i feel better. now this is, this is months what tanf and the temptation link is, but he's learn to deal with things. he has a good job. and for the 1st time, he says he's able to pick just some kind of feature these days. there is an app to track and regulate almost anything in the world around us. and the french town of stuff is the punch was near paris. authorities have decided to let the residents choose how much energy the community spends at night. through the use of technology, the town is able to substantially save costs. however, people here are divided over how useful this app really is. just one

tap lights up the street. and says sheep on twice on the outskirts of paris residents control the lanterns by app. dawn and nights used to be on all the time already some facts and we didn't think about the environment module, but now we've had any deis installed for a few years. you have to do things are progressing. so you were in ecological communities and couldn't get take, what do i need to focus a little too far? i think it's practical to be able to get save money. so and when you go home at night and need lights or things, well like it's brand new meal, the way that he said to me, the man who saw the light is olivia, was it to an engineer working from home in normandy. it started as a bit of a game and it's hometown. but now the app is available to around a 150000 people across france. community don't go to in my community and the surrounding area. people had started switching off the lanterns at night to save electricity and costs. i thought it was good to rein in consumption,

but at the same time as a local resident, i, one of the streets to be bright. and that was the deluxe. you tell me, how do you manage you both come on presented. the retrofitting doesn't take much a receiver installed in the breaker box, relays the signal sent from users phones and just like that. it's light on demand. this saves the district a quarter of its energy costs, and yet not everyone here has convinced me. thank you. and if i don't think it's a good idea, is that the default setting is not necessary for the all new. basically what do you want me to come by and switch on the night? so i'm not a big fan, which was a, with the city officials response is that they regularly consult with the police to ensure that environmental protection doesn't get in the way of protecting residents to really end. well, that wraps up today's focus on year of the thank you very much for watching. remember, you can always find more stories from across the continent on our social media
