just in now, lots dissipates from all over the world. from ladies you said there's donations, and to shake tomorrow. join us and register now for the d. w global media for in 2020, for the hello and welcome to this week's focus on your up. it's nice to have you with us as a patient as well. we across the continents at the upcoming european football championship in germany. the tournaments kick off a schedule for mid june with 24 teams competing for the title. germany is looking forward to welcoming millions of fans from home and abroad to a celebration of all things football with top teams and star players from all of

a. you know, it's quite a sensation that georgia has made it into the finals. never before has the countries national team qualified for the european football tournament. the joy and excitement within georgian society is overshadowed by the people's disappointment was covered and t u legislation. tens of thousands of protesters have taken to the streets and the capital of tbilisi against the so called foreign agents built many george and the soccer star. so also against the legislation. it is the evening of march 26th into pc a day that will go down in georgia and football history in a thrilling game. georgia has just beaten greece on penalties, qualifying for the european championship for the very 1st time.

at the george and league derby and the same stadium, a few weeks later, the fans are still fired up by the women march, telling them everyone. and so happy, not just my generation, but the whole country has been waiting for this. i'm glad we qualified to put things. oh, it was tempted to dish those emails. this means more than anything. so i mean, i was 5 years old when my father took me a long to see my 1st match at the national team, just got a single, i'm so happy the stream is come true. hold of, you spoke to somebody else, and this is another side of georgia, just a few kilometers from the stadium. thousands demonstrate almost every evening. the police do not shine from responding with force. they're protesting the governments draft laws which they see as pro russian is passed the law with designate embryos and media as foreign agents. if they receive more than 20 percent of their funding

from abroad, it would also endangered george's hopes of e look session hopes held by 80 percent of the population. in the meantime, were all against this pro russian law. we did not want our state to accept it. it is an insult to georgians. the political protest has long since reached the country stadiums. dynamo, tbilisi is george's most successful club producing the most international players and is firmly behind the demonstrators. our country wants a european future. b, it's one of the clubs facebook post. we stand for european values. our future is with europe reads another roman p. p a is the president of dina motor police seat. he probably says that his club was the 1st to take a public stand because we did problem pulling stuck out that the price not smaller,

but we are europeans in spirit and of us. we are a freedom loving nation risk on the freedom is best seen in europe. well, one can determine one's own position and right, so clearly smoke what a that's how this will flip a while as a caught up and with this unity. so we should try to open negotiations on joining the european union is the pause. it says the pink suit of his sexual p. p. a has been harassed by the torch and government for such statements. but he doesn't want to talk about it on camera. several national team players have also spoken out on social media. yorkie chuck said i'd say for example wrote, it's hard to watch how they are treating my compatriots, alluding to the police violence withdrawal of the law. then we can live together as we did on march 26th political analyst. no, some car i'd say is following the football or statements closely. she studies

george and football and its influence on politics and society to hold those statements made by individual football players plus different local clubs are very valuable for us for pro democratic powers. they can influence inc. care each. the protest outside i live on cobia seeley, the doors and football association president sits on the other side of the conflict . he's a member of parliament for the ruling george and dream party and voted for the law . the players he claims are not taking a stand voluntarily either had signed on mine or going to any one is entitled to their opinion and to express it over social media or through statements or sir already attractive to your destination for me. but i do not accept one side to another pressuring people to take sides in sinusitis. let's see. can you say who

specifically? yeah. so that i could, but i don't want to go into details to defend, but it was a mistake and everyone in georgia knows it's your device and you're getting his football club receives many millions of bureaus and support from you any further. but he sees no contradiction in wanting to hinder embryos from receiving financial support from abroad. the government is keen to totes the national team success, hoping that the protests will subside and georgians will focus more on the european championships. but the demonstrators are not backing down. they may well find themselves watching the games from the street. the european union has warrants the georgia government. that is, phone agents law could negatively impact the country's progress towards you mentorship. what does it feel like to be branded as

a citizen with non western origin mohammed as alarm from pakistan feels discriminated against. he won't deny his origins, but has live hoff this life in denmark, in a district of the countries capital. and no, no power can together with many other immigrants to many according to the government, which wants to get rid of what they call parallel societies by forcibly reset link residents. the movers have already arrived behind the huge tarps covering these buildings lies a so called parallel society, at least according to the danish government. in its view. it's a neighborhood where too many people with non western backgrounds lives. people like mohammed salon, so see they've driven around 60 percent of all residents and their families out of here. until recently,

copenhagen's meal in the park and neighborhood was almost exclusively inhabited by immigrants, but after the passing of a new danish law and taking aim, its so called parallel societies. this will no longer be tolerated. the responsible housing association must distribute the previous residents across other neighborhoods, while old apartments in new in their pocket are being renovated. 2 of the 4 apartment blocks have been sold to private investors. outlet then must be in the fact that my home country denmark is, has passed such a discriminatory law against citizens like me, evil size, both shameful and disappointing. yes, please. uh, you skim nose go from the swamp. born in pakistan is the elected spokesperson for the residents and constantly has to console his distress to neighbors. he and his wife are allowed to stay and beyond that park, and because he has lived here for over 35 years. but they also had to leave their apartments because of the renovations. kevin se,

uh 10. no more. do you see the 2nd balcony from below and they continue to see. that's why we raised our children, the most fun, where we sent them to school and they'll come in later to university. most people here. the government, led by the social democrats, has identified around a dozen residential areas across the country that are now threatened with the same page as me on the parking for meeting their criteria of being a parallel society itself on the honda ones of it. yeah, it's, these are societies in which other values apply? no societies where people don't turn to the police, but want to solve problems in their own way or a site where people don't work. it's, these are mainly people with roots in the middle east and north africa. well, you have to be honest about that. i think it has nothing to do with racism. it's simply what the statistics tell us. decency boffa holds up to steady state from gang violence,

suspicion of terrorism to drug dealing unit parking is constantly in the headlines . but statistics show that less than 3 percent of its residents have a criminal record. according to mohammed osmond for him, the accusations are just a pretext there. what about apartments and buildings ever done to anyone or they also criminals to do with the support of danish human rights activism for him? it awesome. and the other residents wanted challenge the law on all levels, right up to the european court speak because they believe their chances of being heard are good. this is a, it's a violation of discrimination rates. the church usually have to target certain groups because their address was here, not because they had done anything wrong or seem to be true. they had the name that they there have been several demonstrations in solidarity with me on the park and residents, but so far, no nationwide outcry against the eviction. quite the opposite poll showed that the

majority of danes support the government's tough emigration policy. and some can, you almost have added and i know well, just look at suite of where people with different ethnic backgrounds are causing problems such as gang crime hoping you want the model of in the community. i think something has to be done as soon as you're going to say that the, the hold on. so, so certainly for them, i think it's good when young adult students and pensioners and people of different ethnic backgrounds come together in the neighborhood like those moves. if you're, but then you have to control it, you're not just allowing anyone to move in their company, see a block of food, but from a homage, awesome unit park and was never a parallel society. it was a housing project where a sense of community and cohesion prevailed and live with me and go to the kids used to be able to walk from one courtyard to another, to hear everything was open the law then the, now they're turning every block into a close development, you'll find that you can live with me and goes and then slum has to pack his bags

again. another temporary apartment awaits him. since the one he has been assigned to still isn't ready. and because he can no longer afford the old one, after the renovation, goes to to the rent used to be around $800.00 euros. now it's supposed to be 2000 and terrible. in new in the park in the movers will be coming and going many times in the coming months and will harm to us loves home will never be the same again. us now we'd like to introduce you to mario sons from spain. he lives a life between light and darkness, spending most of his time in a rugged landscape he is mostly on his own. he enjoys the loneliness and solitude office, workplace high above the cliffs of the mediterranean sea. and his jump, he says, is all he ever dreamed of. so how come he's one of the last of his kind in spring?

the solitary beam of light. 23. not a miles long. the. the photo then mess out all done in under lucy, a lighthouse, mario sons has lived in for 32 years. he's the one who spends last night housekeepers to him, but we'll know by that, but i so i think sometimes i feel like i'm a squatter in paradise. i'm going to, i don't know. i think i don't deserve to work in such a beautiful place and it's a real privilege to see of working. and i only realized that myself, after a few years in a little space coast, was once home to 500 lighthouse keepers like mario today, he says that number is closer to 15. mario's work consists of

a sick daily maintenance regime. now connected to the grid, 160 years ago the light was generated by oil of the i size i feel there was always something magical about lighthouses set about light and shadows, a beacon in the darkness and not only for the ships they also cast the spell over me that you have a different perspective from here. the internet and the the windows need regular cleaning, so it's not block any light. but the 63 year old is used to the dizzying heights the little bit. i never thought about it. if i was sent to the highest inhabited lighthouse in the mediterranean, 222 meters above sea level would be the if i didn't have a head for heights, i'd have had a bad time all these years ago. for the, the

mario is proud of his lighthouse and he knows that the old technology is still indispensable in modern times. and ok, business gps is great to that. i mean, but almost all ship captain. so i would say they watch for beacons, a computer model, and i'm wondering if there could be a problem with the satellite. so obviously out there guessing not, but the lighthouse is always there within reach of a piece ago, the feeling mario grew up in madrid, almost 400 kilometers from the sea. you had a bar there until he decided to become a marine signal mechanic. far away from the big city. the when you leave the city, you realize that your part of nature is on the one hand, you realize that you are independent and can do more than you think on the other and that you're just a tiny dot on earth. it isn't going to be the mario

also maintains the photo they mohawk out of the newest and most modern lighthouse in spain. it's uninhabited, so everything here is remote control road. this is what the future looks like. mario only needs to check in once a week. then they will fight on they will. my lighthouse is 160 years old. this one is just 325. so they represent a change in the world of work in the past. how many people worked on site everywhere? yes. what the home on today? remote working and working from home are very important. it's the same with lighthouse us. i don't think it's a shame, but that's progress. level of goodness. i see. it's only a matter of time soon. all lighthouse is will be remote controlled here. mario is set to retire in a few years. but if he can, he will continue to look out to the lighthouse museum, keeping the memory of his profession and his predecessors alive the experiencing storms here. helping shipwrecked people being

a base on the coast. all that will be lost and if you had to go down and i you got, my photo will remain close. i the last lighthouse keeper on this side say if i don't say that, it's nice to be part of this heritage. i need to know what the, the, the brothers i get an i'll always remain connected to the lighthouse. somehow they'll have to deal with me here until i die and scatter my ashes in the sea. they've got to be a bad time. but follow the missile done. we'll continue to live on sending. it's raise over the sea, but remotely, the when i think of ukraine these days wore death and destruction come to mind. but there are places in ukraine like we'll show out in the far west. we'll live on full sooner, rather peaceful setting,

presuming to be the one of the safest places in ukraine. the city is a sanctuary for people wanting to start a business making or show up a hot spot for i see companies a busy help which some belief is developing into your pin silicon valley who shut out in the far west of ukraine is considered one of the safest cities in the country. the bombing of har keep in the northeast, is driving more and more people to the safety of western ukraine. the city and the car pay the in mountains, is now also attracting computer. and i t specialist the debrief at the source angel, the i t company from hockey, the northeastern ukraine has just the set up shop here, following a dramatic increase in russian bombardments and recent weeks. relief. the boxes from harkey have arrived a separate storage uh which is 16 square meters. uh over the foot and its fully

load it bloss. it'd be a place or money it or some laptop. so lots of stuff which makes a difference of 5. 35000 computer companies and i t specialists have set up shop here. international clients are afraid of the risk elsewhere. a startup scene is emerging 29 year old mirror slab a might. it helps new arrivals find an office and housing. what's hold on is a fine shut out, and the trans carpet and region are increasingly becoming a refuge for companies fleeing russian bombing. but we should not wait until the war is over to rebuild everything, get them in this region. at least we have already started. when the fall, when it gets pulled off and it's already visible, new apartment, buildings and offices are springing up everywhere. digitalization has made great strides here, as it has elsewhere in ukraine. most people have their ideas and drivers license on

a smartphone app. one of the larger companies to open its doors here is petterson apps c o. all that hosted back is convinced that the ukrainian i t sector will boom here thanks in part to its proximity to the e. u. so he's at the hop on the plane and to be there and to, to do a workshop to the assumption that as well. and this is something, this is unique. so this is how we can be competitive because there is, of course, this competition from india. there's competition from the southeast asia. so for us, for our interest, so there's a lot of competition. the company is mostly made up of young people, many of them fresh out of university who shuttle its proximity to western ukraine's campuses is a huge benefit. and together with this team, all that has just developed an award winning app for the scan to navy, an airline s a s to the potential in the central european class. so in the past and the focus was going from germany, from friends, from scandinavia,

from america. and obviously a potential of working boys declines even in the bowling, the extra phonics lock. yeah. and hungry because us as a company we haven't built so much know how and it's so rather than the ukrainian i t sector is growing, even if it's at a slower rate than before the war. the government has created tax incentives for entrepreneurs bounding companies. their current tax rate is only 5 percent, extremely low by e u standards and europe needs. those brings those people with this give us the best idea skews, and we have those people and we have the motivation for people to be there in the vars. numbers and hundreds of thousands of the german chamber of foreign trade and keys sees the potential for a european silicon valley. and it really showed above all ukrainian companies have benefited from the outsourcing of european companies. ukrainian software developers

are far cheaper to employ up the unit and screws um i believe that ukraine as a whole and perhaps the i to sector in particular is a good asset for the european union to quit. and we have some real expertise here that we lack in other parts of the you but to uses and they're innovative, they're well educated. and now they're even battle hardened, and therefore extremely flexible. extreme succeeded. so while the country's general economy is suffering under the pressure of war, the i t sector in western ukraine is booming. here's a new business plan in case you're interested in being a gas. phenomenal success move to brussels and apply for trial restaurant. the full run allows you to run a dining facility for a few months without any financial risk, including free consultation. and the advice times may be a bit difficult for the restaurant industry about the badge and capital products

itself on his coat and every tradition ac. but as you see, the phone part gets lock was born in vietnam, but has lived in belgium since childhood. for many years, she wasn't charge of communications for large companies, but she finally got tired of it. now that her 2 children have gone up to use, trying out a drastic career, change mid on it. if you scroll through the streets of vietnam, there are very simple restaurants that offer a single meal on planning 3 or 4 such dishes here to pick. these are many crepes hors d'oeuvres made from rice flour turmeric and coconut milk. cool, cool. mix up. that's how this is received in brussels remains to be seen. the phone doesn't lock, took over the fully equipped small restaurant and mid april for 4 months with rents subsidized by the process of region where more and more restaurants are going bankrupt, your lead. then this is alarming. the go, our main metropolis,

which is urgently looking for motivated restaurant, hers, and figured it's what the, what is projects co quote we get. these are established restaurants with shifts that change every 4 months. this way, they can test all their concepts with minimal risk. a lock is lucky to come from a culinary family. her mother and aunt both long retired or helping her to get started. her niece comes in to help with serving and washing up. having the families help is grace, except when space is an issue. to push on that, that'd be small, need a much bigger kitchen in the next place because it's difficult to work here with 2 or 3 people. and while i do what we can hardly turn around, there is no place just for drinks and plates. pile up on the order counter. these problems actually show like success. after just a few days,

the small restaurant is sold out for the 1st time. the motion for the food left to prepare. no drinks left with them. all. it's really tough to predict what to have on hand these on friday. for example, i sold a lot of beacon dishes is your so i prepared a lot of beacon food for saturday and then didn't serve a single one of again, it's difficult to evaluate. so i have a one day loc, couldn't open up her restaurant at all, because it'd be sort of rookie mistakes. customers complained, which is actually a good sign. the restaurant is small with cutlery and cans and recycled. sustainable furniture after the program and loc definitely wants to open her own restaurant and bring what she has learned here with her the or was that wraps it up for
