from trouble to fixing hills cultural identity meant, let's say together, and talks about community life on the research is now on the hello and uh well welcome to focus on your up. it's great to have you with us today . what do people mean when they speak of being truly french? the outcome of the snap elections and fonts in early july has denied the nationalist, anti immigration, national rally, party, and majority in parliament, but is still ramped up. it's seed share this story to further concerns among french

residents with an immigrant background. morgan, where she is a french muslim woman. her family has been living in the country for generations, with racism growing in her hometown shuttles, her son, she and other muslim women are now going on the offensive against the rise of the far right in their region to sign the slide for french diversity feels different these days and shut on so soon. in a surprise to many, the far right failed to win a majority across france in early july snap the elections. i'm to pursue that. we're quite relieved even if the results in this region are pretty scary. i bought the national riley party one beach here for generations after morgan did. she's finally arrived from algeria. i just know these french wisdom women saved and moved on to us just, it's called 66 to 7. what, what's most shocking now is that racism has become mainstream. people feel

legitimate now in throwing insults or pulling muslim women's fails. even if the national ready didn't win over, we can feel there's been a fraction that something has broken and that things will never be the same size. because now it's up to us to change things and prove that we can live together, samuel g, the differentiated shores of the small city. the eastern front is among those that help the far right gave more than 50 new seats with the party keen on gaining more granted future. my gun is trying to get a head start bonding together with other most them women who feel they will be the 1st to lose out. if the far right gets to make a good on it's policy, promises, like barring jewels, citizens from key jobs and binding women from wearing all religious headscarf in public facility altogether. when we hear them, it can feel like we're the problem. like we're not true french citizens when, in fact, frances, also us the hosting. the fonts has one of your,

its largest muslim populations. and most again says she started feeling less welcome. here years ago. in 2015, the local right wing mayor reversed a decades old tradition of offering pork free meals and schools to take your to religious diets, arguing it broke with francis secular constitution bought 12 son, my ne fuel voters, switching to the far right or no gambling on their rights at the local market. those who made the bit say they had many reasons to change. allegiance, initials, no, it's linked to everything going on here. everything that's in the national rose program . rising prices, lower purchasing power. i can see it myself because customers now often order one dish for 2 people because it's really guessing difficult people. after years of not voting, this baker opted for the far right to make his fury felt a little because he don't want to actually move to the our country president takes us idiots and they were only good for working on paying. and at some point we have

just the stop, okay, what, it's not just immigration, but it's true that we're in a system where i don't want to be on my own anymore because we're unsafe. you can't leave your car. you can't go to the restaurants on the back home. you look at someone a bit strange, the on the jump on, you get a good categories, almost almost a dispute. and he's not the only one interested by the far rights idea to send to migrate to the back of the queue for public services page. we need to put the brakes on migration, really hit the brakes, open. the experts say the debate here goes further back to france's history. as a former, colonizer seeking labor is to power an economic boom in the 2nd half of the 20th century. and it touches the very core of french society and to migrant rhetoric. file right for ethics is sort of a french specialty. a lot of that for 3 keys, things. these people should then be like us. it shouldn't be french on the shoot. and that's the same right then we do. when you're looking at the time it is,

we sometimes have been there for 3 generations. anyway, it says definitely a fight over defining what he's french and that's, that's a fight. no gun still feels cold up and she takes us to a plaque dedicated to her great uncle who was born here and shuttle to an old jerry and father before being killed by nazi occupiers. i don't know if it's the he was shot during world war 2 right on this bridge, and the city decided to honor him here, destiny's, no mo again said she has her own bottle ahead. she wants to organize local events like picnics and discussion groups to try and change the image of her community and to change people's minds before the next vote rules, right. you'll see the percentage telling me that i'm sick. i mean the, there are elections again in 2027 and i think we'll have the same thing. so we have to continue to mobilize in our neighborhoods and with young people, lots of engagement. and if the worst really happened,

we might have no choice but to leave for a better future elsewhere. that's the best present on any of the yes. for now, she's staying put in her tone, hoping during the light, it will once again feel more like home. many doctors had not been yeah. all right. us with the health care sector, thousands of professionals have left the country in recent years due to low salaries, but working conditions and poor prospects. this has had a huge impact on the country's medical care system, which currently rang, so the very bottom in europe. that's one of the reasons why young doctor molig were duco, has decided to leave his country. but that's not an option for the i agree. she is determined to stay or is that good? yeah. as long as you 1st question, the young doctors are asking is, when are you leaving? are you thinking about it or where are you going from them?

yeah, that's something young doctors talk about right from the 1st semester. it'd be that the by they agree is studying medicine. the university of toronto, she is satisfied with their choice of profession, are great ambitions to help others find her prospects here or not. great love, i mean the most part of the pay for young doctors isn't good. the, the minimum is about $7.00 to $800.00 euros a month. it isn't adequate from the costs. the diagnostic instruments and investment in hospitals is insufficient. so young doctor's face, many challenges with conditions in the hospitals that are down right, scandalous or set down from the law that many young doctors see no other choice but to go abroad. the more doctors leave the fewer are left to practice in albany. oh,

we see the figures show an average of 5 doctors per $1000.00 residents in the european union in obeying its fewer than to the mtv and the lack of investment or any real effort to keep young people in albania has thrown the doors to the rest. of europe wide open and not just for doctors to be in by so it's a huge problem fixed that the area has to realize that it has to keep these young people in their own country and another name. despite all the difficulties they agree intends to practice medicine in her home country. but mel board to cut does not keep plans to leave for germany. he's been preparing for months negotiating. and i was just telling this the best a, you know, the hospital's number among the best in europe. understood. don't get into the bunyan, how many during my studies here in albania. i was confronted with inadequate conditions,

qualitative instructions and literature and libraries. good. thank you. for calling frontier this obtaining a work permits wasn't easy. the aspiring position still has to pass one more language test. he plans to move in summer and then he'll see if he's up to the demands made on him in germany. but personally, he sees no other way to go. first name yet a supplement in worship or young doctor. and i'll be in here with little professional experience. it's almost impossible to start a career or even receive decent pay and medical training that measures up to your own expectations or post in the case i tried calling the them that and i met them into the situation is precarious. so in 2023 albanian prime minister eddie rama introduced a bill to effectively force young doctors to remain in albania. they have great joined the protest against the legislation calls for young doctors to be awarded

their medical degree only after they have worked in obeying after 5 years for their part, medical students insist that improved working conditions not laws will keep young doctors in albania, and the draft bill has been temporarily halting. the agree would be free to go abroad, but she intends to stay. for the early fall, young doctors who stay in albania will have to struggle with life with themselves, with other people, with everything conceivable. much as you're not having to struggle but having a chance to work in albania, voluntarily and under fair conditions, that would be my wish. nobody leaves albania, voluntarily. nobody goes off to germany or someplace else, just for fun. yes sir. memphis year. for some time now bore duco also felt torn between his own country and promises of a brighter future abroad. jump in albuquerque option the. my 1st choice was,

of course i'll be a that indeed the if the conditions and the opportunities were all equal, i choose to stay and albania to these little above the blue shield. life is very good here. uh, i grew up here with people. i belong to this country, but even, but i've come to a point in my life where i have to make a decision about my future years old. he may come back some day. he said shortly before getting on the plane. so it isn't good by forever. but it is farewell for now the, every time you uncork a bottle of wine, the chances are high that you are holding a put a use product in your hands. portable is the biggest core producer in the world, much of which is harvested. it covers you near the capital of lisben. no machines are involved in this process. all the port strip is use our hand held axis to peel,

the core of the trunk, carlos herrera and his family has to be working in the cork, industry for generations. their raw material is in high demand to wide range of industries, and that provides quite a challenge for the cost rivers or at court harvesting. in portugal, it takes a practiced hand like carlos that has to harvest this valuable bark. every summer he repeats the peeling process just like his father and grandfather before him with the little fellow very exhausting, very hot. the harvest is hard work. we have to be careful because if we injure the tree, it will scar badly, obviously. so i'm trying to take this wound, for example, i can say here the tree no longer produces its bar for more for the next level. one over the course. farming is a longstanding tradition here, and important for the local economy of portugal is the world's largest court

producer, the climate friendly and renewable material is in higher demand than ever. for 60 year old antonio shall say, my tears scurrying up the trees as no problem at all. even in a $35.00 degree celsius heat. what i think it is, i'm still, i've been doing this work every summer for 43 years. hope it is near the season last 3 months. i can handle it, but i want to in the mean, it's no trouble for me to be up here for the pacifying the slow growing farkas can only be harvested every 9 years. antonio can salvage this. hannah, from the u. n. a c forestry association says that's why the material is so special . when we look to a court coke, we see as our boss and our future, our stories here for them all the generations that through it has made it possible to be here today in the future because it protects the files to each to it has

a lot of biodiversity, the harvested court park is sent to factories for further processing. it is heated press and as shown here, cut into small slices for champagne, corks, millions per day. one of particles, quartz regions, and one of only a handful in the world is kusha. at this expedition, the 1st time material is showcased in all its glory. while more change explains, there's a lot more to court, then corks. according to equity, the minute work is cut directly from the bark, where equal squints mint the totals, which students this up and the rest of the port plank is then processed for installation. material them in the wall elements or corks made from the granules.

all with that mission associated with this and global dot at the university of a vital clean miguel, no vice is working on sustainable building materials to rise from court. the material is light and elastic and could be an effective alternative to conventional synthetic materials, which although efficient are bad for the environment. we used car came to as of these materials which are not renewable and car is we are decreasing several orders of magnitude not only the amount of energy that to require to produce cock 20 times newer or more. and also the c o 2 emission associated with the car production. in addition, cork is a good insulator and fire resistant the trees evolve their unique part to protect themselves against forest fires. court is used everywhere. even in nasa spacecraft . we're sure to have a lot to learn from nature. i think it's the best guidelines for our future because

we, as humans, tend to use all sorts of different materials to combine them together very efficiently. but then we know, nowadays there is a huge problem connected with the recycled ability of such materials. back on the court plantation, the harvest is now well under way. but carlos is worried, as fewer and fewer people are choosing to go into the profession. you have if there's a lot of i got pools, they're going to be it's difficult to find people's these data somebody to find like working here just like my father before me the middle so i carry on god. it's good for me, but i just put one the out in the fresh air and a 5 i'm, i'm not at a desk, not a fit out of here. we have all the freedom. we need to be for them. them but the liberal public, you know, from business is booming. the court production cannot be stuffed up indefinitely. it takes up to 40 years before the bar cause a young cork ok matures enough for harvest. when it comes to this climate friendly

materials. good things certainly come to those who wait. slovakia has become increasingly polarized in recent months. and the attempted assassination of the prime minister death threats against journalist and continued hate speech and the political debates have added to social polarization. something counting a far. sca doesn't want to come to terms with she has co founder, slovak is largest civil movement and wants to bring back more decency and less violence into the countries public discourse. but this comes at a price for safety reasons. we are allowed to film only very little nothings to betray our location. this has not some covert operation, but an interview with low back civil rights active as currently and as far as scott,

the student is working with an organization which aides investigative journalist it's hazardous work. because the conflict between the slovak in political camp is escalating steadily. the situation is so only worse, and that's why a lot of media also this media officers have security measures to them because there are reasons for that, right? because journalists are receiving perhaps a tax fund square leads us to the memorial for young kids. the ex she was murdered 6 years ago in an as yet unsolved case. she was still going to school when he was killed. i didn't want to live in a country where internal us are and being killed because of what they do far square, co founded. so lock is the largest movement to defend civil rights and press freedom. most recently had a large demonstration on the anniversary of your includes the ex murder. oh but it comes at a price. i pretty much i received the throw some any titles

for like at or the other thread. so saw physical violence. and so this whole set on everything should be done with me and yeah, it's, it's, it was unexpected. for me, from the beginning, soon i realize that some do something what happens to, to journalists to people who are active and, and public life. even slowly back prime minister robert pizza has been on the receiving end of last may. he barely survive being shot 5 times at close range. we're traveling to the beach. so in western slovakia, the hometown of you just would be assassin viewed item to live. he lives play the in this apartment, blocked it's a little while ago. as long as he and his wife were normal pensioners and didn't cause any problems, but i don't know what was going on in his head. i know he disagreed with our

government's instinct of his human and was against the cynthia enrollment communities. a lot of that that's no reason to grab a gun and start shooting those by those 3. what would utilize include? i did shoot in the woods a few kilometers away remnants of police tape in a tree riddle with bullet holes mark where he rehearsed the violin seems omnipresent and so lock you in thoughts, language every day. politics be a government or opposition to to get to the yes, the hatred is there in the every party do house of this done robert feet. so as an innocence either colleen, as far as guy shows us a video and which beats so then leader of the opposition insulted president's is on top of the the more someone plays the for the worse. and she is in the more famous she is a, when the, it's just all a,

refer them to this are calling themselves like this really tells you something about the state of the country and it's getting worse at the expense of the rule of law and democracy the government majority of left wing and right wing populace has even decided to dismantle independent public televisions. v. as many the critical reporting which is our job is in danger of disappearing so that we will no longer be able to ask a few questions. critical of the governments on to out and actually exec the people we have elected to run our country. going for them to watch is all task. i mean, is that gonna, how much do you need as or any one with a different opinion is immediately labeled an extremist and is permitted to know public voice is so the problem we have to change that added to as many political scientists. oh god about show the feel. slovakia is on a dangerous course. the key rates in the bulleted sky dialogue was no longer

about object of political dialogue, novelty the last thing. yak dora, it's little more than insults and hateful opinions and statements with kim look at the product. i'm a just to just go and look at the role. social media is plain things. a mom. we have a very toxic and dangerous mixture. in slovakia today i call roman nimbus, but to me books it's key. but catalina 1st got refuses to give up the struggle for democracy. you know, maybe even the worst cases will, will happen in the future. and that doesn't matter that we see it like subtracting with the making this country a better place for you in forever life because you know like we don't have any out or that difficult job in a country string further and further from democracy. romania is home to an impressive heritage of historic buildings, but quite

a number of century old costs lives in churches are in a poor condition and need urgent attention. that's where an ambulance for monuments comes in, either should community and the countryside has benefited from the project, breathing new life into old cultural size on the brink of ruling. so huge invite um is a race against time to prevent losing his patients. so history is an impressive rescue mission since he and his volunteer started in 2016. a particular building lies close to the hearts of the people in central romania, the old and crumbling fortified church of rush are built by long vanished german settlers. saving the church would have been too expensive for the community. so they called the ambulance for monuments. it's mainly a project which gives the 1st 8 to a build heritage to lease the buildings which are in desperate needs to be prompt

or to be a safe. financing comes from donations and foundations. so the community only has to provide food and lodging. the rescue where is their volunteers, mostly current or former architecture students like adeline, up at the lower. she works here as often as you can look it up. it's really lots of fun for me to work proactively, like this for the community and the cultural values of our country. and it's really nice today in rogers, like on all the ambulances building sites. specialists are on hand to guide the volunteers. they're impressed by the care and precision everyone puts into their work with the materials. don't have specialized companies on heritage just a few. and so that's why the law allows any company which even if they don't have trained people to work on certain parts of the historical buildings, the site had

a little surprise in store a fresco from the late middle agents. now says you can buy to, they have to uncover it very carefully and apply temporary measures to preserve it . the volunteers are crowded. that brought us, we'll take care of the rest. so as to what we do is just the 1st stage that needs to be done and much more and we are guiding them on all the other process where to get funding to completely restore and to adopted your views. so far, the ambulance from monuments has rescued about 15 percent. that romania is at risk sites. they say the state should be supporting their work with their own programs. that way, the little fortified church of rush would be just one of many success stories that wraps it up for this week's edition of focus on your up. thanks for watching. you can look up all our stores in the website, dw, the com. please turn in again,

next time, buy from the the

complex zone with tim sebastian, countries of what's the war and ukraine more closely than poland, which was the time. and again, the poor thing would much be on his board is no one listening my guess this week and more so justice, minnesota had them both not hang over to you what warnings? because the government have to use the same conflict in 30 minutes. oh, d, w, cloud store and almost unlimited supply of water. but what to do when they won't

release the pressure is liquid on their own. a pattern of dwindling rainfall is driving, scientific innovation, turning vapor into drinking water, catching fog in response to draft the of the in 75 minutes on d. w. the dream of revolution. in 1979, the hate ship dictates as the most uh was forced as having to come up with that change my life people hoped for a sara society, the detective. i imagine we would change the world

tens of thousands of lester from all over the world, wanted to help reconstruct the country. this mission became the dream was simply a spirit of optimism where we encouraged each other and so many things were suddenly imaginable. isn't the most efficient and nicaragua, a dream of revolution? dots july 20th on dw, the

or visitors did the news lie from berlin? donald trump's election running mates takes the stage of the republican national convention. i stand here humble and i'm overwhelmed with gratitude to say, i officially accept your nomination. it'd be vice president of the united states of america get events through the crowds with praise for donald trump and attacks on job. i mean large volumes campaign for re election hesitates another adult. he's headed back home to delaware, also testing positive for over 19 plus.
