who leaves me, you can do better than anyone. so the hello and welcome to this week's edition of focus on europe is great to have you with us. border protection to prevent illegal immigration has been a huge challenge and the european union in recent years. the situation is currently coming to a head on the border between the roofs and poland, poland, and e. u. member states, as seen a dramatic rise of illegal crossings in recent months. below ruth has done little to discourage migrants from attempting to enter the neighboring states. tensions

arising on the pole beside human rights activists. alexander affairs and the guys concerned about the well being of refugees. many have died in the past years trying to make its 2 po, but the other is like boarded guy me. hi buddha, support district. the board of policies and now is by the pull of us government yesterday about the whole board of the polish border guard keeps watch on the frontier with bella luce thought of a few years ago. this paved road led straight into belarus and not the waters. now it was closed as an external border of the e. u. it has to be secured against illegal immigration, among other things. buddha and his fellow border guards patrol from migrants waiting for their chance to enter the u. v. of the forest on the television side. sp seen any one suspicions of that? yeah. which quiet tony locals sorry. or let's hope it stays that way. hold us.

the polish government describes illegal migration of hybrid warfare. it is accused, beller, bruce and russia, have deliberately funnelling migrants from asia and africa to the polish border. as a way of pressuring the west. nearly all of them have russian visas. a new migration which has taken shape here, holdings previous government, headed by the law and just as party installed a battery or along some a 180 kilometers of the border. or even so, the polish border guard has recorded over 25 years into attempted, illegal crossing so far this year. many more than the year before or to create the student's april. the number of attempts has risen to several 100 per day. and the attempts have become increasingly aggressive, assuming that our officers and soldiers had been injured underground pool for our vehicles and equipment had been damaged too. and ultimately, a tragedy occurred to us from the cost of $1.00 of our own and was killed, you know, a year that's nice. border guards are increasingly being attacked through the

barrier. in early june, a polish soldier died of stab wounds inflicted by mixed with spear the polish government under donald tusk. names that would we activity to buffer zone up to 2 kilometers white in some areas along the border. nobody can enter without permission. thank you so much. these are not refugees. the media were and fewer of them are families in need of assistance. i'm just going to ship. i think i left i'm in virginia, 80 percent of cases. we are dealing with organizing groups of young men, age 18 to 30, who are very violent to going to be a cover. but if i get a fitness neither a stricter border policy nor a new government has really changed the situation. if anything it's only gotten worse, it's alexandra christian of sca. she's part of an 8 organization task with finding migrant steep in the forest along the illiteracy and frontier before vigilante groups for the border guard get to them. student also looked at us stuff

accountable for the people we encounter, tell us they've been subjected to even worse, even more cruel and ruthless violence. not just on the bell roof inside, but on the polar side to the on the tell us they were beaten, kicked, thrown to the ground and handcuffed one. okay, then call me back and we'll go to the more picking part of them will find them trouble. final question, no sco shows us videos of refugees and other volunteers regularly and countries here in the forest. some are starving or injured. the volunteers take care of them and advise them to apply for asylum in poland. if they don't, they can legally be sent back to been the risk. but not all refugees are given the chance to apply. in the bottom, the little special to the call, many of the people in the forest to say they intend to apply for protection. and also see it to the border guard officers in our presence to end up contacting us a few days later from bell evers platform. so they said they were forced to sign a document which they did not understand,

but stated that they would not seek protection in poland to the government. eco wasn't supposed to be that. so kind of pasta. many of these are allegedly illegal push backs, the border guard denies involvement, videos circulating online, allegedly show polish. border guards carrying seemingly unconscious people to a small gate in the battery or to the valid routes the inside. there's been hardly any official response. this border area is especially dangerous for refugees. alexandra creation of sca shows us the grieves of people who died in the be all of the edge of forest. this is that goddard, she's with do any of those? most of these people are fleeing mortal danger in their home country, so the dream of a normal peaceful life. and instead wind up in a place where their lives are in just as much danger. natania. this policy violation means that rather than finding peace and safety, these people lose their lives for the folder to donald tusk. promise more humane refugee policies in his election campaign. christian notes go,

says he hasn't kept through his promises. border guard me help or says a cover and it's coming go. but the border will always be protecting because it's secret binder injury like this in mere cut on a finger can be extremely dangerous. lots poisoning or sips. this is one of the most common conditions and causes of death worldwide. because phipps is often times not immediately identified while you will time is last delayed diagnosis in germany almost costs new york a winter during his life. after the infection, he lost large force of his arms and legs. now he's trying to adapt to his new normal while maintaining a positive mindset. operating an electric, wheelchair, it works well. that deal could still alive as a small miracle. he was in an induced coma for 16 days and underwent 8 surgeries. 4

months, it was, i'm certain whether he would survive. if you now attend the sessions at this clinic, to train his extremely weakened body. not mine. ok, but when i arrived here after my operation, my body was so weak and my muscles so atrophied. i could only lift my head and see if you don't mind call team come to us. i see i'm come. the 1st thing i had to do was get fit again. should we build my body else to rebuild my muscles on so that i could do basic things in everyday life. again, seems like brushing my teeth for just getting out of bed and into my wheelchair. what have you out of state or some pets? i'm but in the most to the full started so innocently was here. so what happened was i caught myself in an old here mattress and the seller. and this one, it was a very, very small cottage on my left index finger, which became infected and send it out. comes it turned into

a skeptical co infection which ultimately triggered subsets as well that i can, you can see the small, small cap here. and that then developed into a blister over night, like to line up closet. and because the inspection was caused by mouse droppings on the mattress. soon gale was in severe pain, had a fever and shortness of breath to doctors, told him the infection was homeless. the oaks, the volleyball, because he was finally admitted to a hospital where he suffered septic shock. he had to be placed in and induced coma during the infection. his body diverted most of his oxygen to his vice organs. the brain, the halt and the loans on doesn't exist. so because of the large parts of both his arms and legs didn't receive enough blood peanuts, and this is what ultimately led to him needing the amputation of sophia to have it was a really serious case. and he is actually off high a whole fessor device among the oaks, attending physician at the rehabilitation clinic. his major concern early on was

that the residual limbs and the skin protecting the fuel properly. only then was it possible for guild to be fitted with pros, dc's substance is one of the most common diseases worldwide affecting around 50000000 people. every year. most deaths could be avoided with the correct diagnosis and appropriate treatment of substances. the severe inflammation of the body, it's triggered by bacteria entering the bloodstream via an injury. for example, steps this occurs when the immune system over reacts damaging the body instead of fighting the infection left on checked. it attacks vital organs which start to fail . this is exactly what makes it so dangerous. plus, i know this is i was completely unaware of what steps this is and what it can lead to in the end that somebody will help me. i've only learned recently how bad such as can be reached and a zip is always getting kind of in most cases, at least

a desk because it does not recognize properly. and so had obvious in that respect, i was very lucky to survive that and just to be sitting here today that can come saw come on in the whole space just for us. just wanted to make sure we find a good place to practice. standing up gale oaks, therapist costs schmidt, doesn't just give him practical tips. he's a cheerleader too. he knew gail could need both psychological and physical help. that's very nice. well done. chip. i didn't help. that's not worked out well, yes, you do that on your own, dyna, i think in on the side it does say, i think what makes him different is that he doesn't look back on. yeah. and he looks, i have a, i think he realized how things were going for him a few months ago. and he thought he had no alternative finding more not. and so i

was just concerned to set my sense is he seems to have woken up, looked ahead and said, well there's no going back now. and if he told himself, look, i was lucky, i'm still alive and can now prepare myself for a new life and lose by the cream. if i can no longer do what i want, i have to one to what i can do. i'm gonna say fine with his con, happy posit fits, feels good, and it was on low pressure points. no pain. sure, nice. every step takes enormous effort, both physically and mentally one day dlc, then telling hoops to be able to work again before the steps as he was a marketing team leader out of medium sized company. companies to get to work is a very important part of my life is integral. it's good to talk to my old life as good as part of my new like to i'm 40 years old and 50. i couldn't imagine just sitting at home from now on and taking an early retirement on this. i feel strange again just feels wrong. coolants on, on the thoughts off me. fine. all right,

one to go if you did it. so that was a little feel free to didn't crush her hand today. no standing will, king deal wants to reclaim as much of his old life as possible to spare and doubts all his constant companions escaped. the end of the day i have many inner demons, new date of birth to either come to think on time. there are days when i could just scream at the wall of mine and lead us as everyone can imagine. what it's like on this day that there are certain questions i simply shouldn't ask myself right now. and the system must be the fargo questions like why me, why not someone else on the above all is the question. who's to blame? that's always the thing though. it is 5, these are the 2 most important questions that i tried to ignore all the time because there is no answer to them and they don't get me anywhere either on the

shelf. and so i definitely off to 6 months, feel good, been telling is allowed to leave the clinic. he is happy to be back in his home and benefit and tries to apply well, she has lunch during his rehabilitation fitness. kate, seem to see a lot is possible involved a lot is no longer possible and freedom. a lot simply has to be planned with the help of family members when it starts with getting one church at the fridge farm, i have to use my wheelchair to get food stuff and then be able to get to top 10. there's difficulties in the morning to sort of using toothpaste and brushing my teeth. the toothbrush can't be too far away so that i can still reach it. this is part of everyday life, a fit. some of what i taken for granted has suddenly become an obstacle then because it seemed in it and some things are just impossible. the oakland telling doesn't give off if something doesn't work right away. she sees it all as a set of physical challenges. something he used to seek out when he was younger.

she had been good while i grew up on the skis. i used to ski off a slope as much as possible. i mean really off slope side um, replaced in glenn the in the back country, the steeper, the better the renewal limits before it got can limit for yeah. and i was also a passionate dancer and so my wife was my dance partner, of course. so so convincing them i'm trying to instill this attitude into my children, but of course that will be a bit more difficult to do in the future. like to the site, the tops of his life are returning to normal is due mainly to his voice. alexandra g and georg have been married for 12 years. when mix of them you learn to adapt to the situation. it's like a movie and it didn't feel like our life. it's only now that the 4 of us are back at home that every day life has slowly crept back in. yeah. what's different driving the kids to where they need to go in the morning by myself. that was a task we used to share up on that. and then i have to make sure before i leave the

house that i lease georg a coffee cup with a straw in it and that i was an apple for him to eat for the next time. she will never forget the 1st time she visited her husband in the hospital, off to his amputation with the 2 children. so long time, the advisor. okay. we came into the new york through the 1st thing shouting and said, was god where your hands? and i said, i told you remember, yeah, but then very soon it was just like always we all staged erased with the wheelchair . getting on ran alongside me. leah pulled the little one was sitting on gaylon's lap. so yes, it was just like always gail conduct exam dressed every coffee together in the late afternoon after she's come home from work. they talk about the traumatic experiences of the last few months and what has given them strength

significant. it's so important to have a family, a revenue for emotional support which went to home, my children and my wife have been such a comfort for me. i don't think i would have had the will and the motivation to work so hard on myself for such a long time with items one will have. i mean, so i lived in gales high tech prostheses cost thousands of years. the paid full mainly by his health insurance. some a diety is an imposing principle in german society. the healthy pay for the sick, the rich, well, the poor. everyone is entitled to the same medical treatment. today, orthopedist or slootsky is given guilt news that's pros, dc's. so but i've got your new feet with me and they don't feel natural that's for a job. i get it. i don't know. like what i found out about this couple of times i said at 1st it feels good to get a bit more support and it helps cool. so this one is a fee. now you don't have so much play in them anymore. yeah,

great. leaned back but then adjusted all on your own guilt of intending is making progress, but he's eager for things to improve even more quickly. escaped by the one of the things we'll continue to progress is if one improve doesn't work. there's always another good just to finish on finding that new approach becomes the important thing to do. the most important thing is to keep going to keep out to the london has an air pollution problem and has started several initiatives to reduce people's exposure to find dust. cars are major polluters, so limiting private transport is an important part of the local governments plan to alleviate the problem. key measures include driving into london with

a private car has become more and more expensive. drivers are urge to switch to low emission vehicles and private transport is banned from several streets in the city . well, many london a support restrictions to protect the environment. others are getting increasingly fed up. they were heading to the center of london on foot. it's a straight route, but a trip by car is filled with many detours. the shortest way for cab driver as these would be to follow the red bus. but there was no turning left for taxis here. since the central road is now only open to buses and cyclists, and the dislike cars can't turn right or go straight, meaning aziz has to drive once around the block. spending probably 6 minutes and processing now from where we started from. and

i could have done a left out from where your office is really, really frustrated and won't be the same for short, green lights and long red ones and a whole lot of new signs. sometimes it's prohibited to turn right or left and sometimes the road is only open to buses. there are lanes for cyclists, though, and recently they've been granted access to several main roads. drivers, however, are regularly stuck in traffic jams on parallel streets. it's not unusual for these to meet twice as much time for a trip as he did 5 years ago. right here we go straight way down to web and white got it, but extra noise the london's mayor turned it into a public seating area. even though it was next to a park, it's in my opinion,

it's just a discovery call driving a lot of them to make it really a horrible experience with neo goods. so people jump on to the public transport system. and disease isn't really wrong about that. london is mayor, has made no secret of the fact that he wants fewer cars on the streets when people to walk cycled, use public transport and drive clean costs. it wasn't long ago that london's mayor, so the con, extended the ultra low emission zone for cars us to the entire city to offset emissions. those who exceed certain levels have to pay fees with cameras registering every vehicle. in the suburbs, there were fierce and loud protests. one of the protesters was building contractor . danny met his cards were not deemed clean enough under the regulations.

for a short time, he paid the emissions charge every day to keep his business running. in the end, he saw no alternative, but to get new vans. we've lost jobs because we've got to the coup, right? those costs both the you guys buy and the new van. but putting it onto the client. this is not a solution to keep pain allies in good working false bates. needless to say, danny can't ride a bus or bicycle with his heavy equipment. so he didn't really have a choice. but the restrictions on cars are there for a good reason. london's air is polluted. rosamond supports any measure that makes driving less appealing. her 9 year old daughter had asthma. she died in 2013. so i finally picked up her death certificate. i had to say to black and white that she died due to no just add pollution,

excessive levels of air pollution. according to london's may or the air quality has been improving and like him, rosamond believes that the measures to cut car use have helped it is still at the stage where it is impacting the most vulnerable, and that is young children who are developing the along still and also, oh is it people who are more valuable as these is offer better air quality, but he doesn't believe that restrictions are the only way to achieve that goal. nor is he happy about the newest traffic lights. one of the most efficient roundabout service. more stuff on god for for sure. yeah. how is that making sure that he thinks the mayor should be working with drivers on finding solutions, not against them at last, as these nears has destination. after yet another trip built with the tours. when i think of seagulls,

i imagine laughing waste and serenity at the beach. but for many people in rome, a far less picturesque image probably comes to mind. for the last decade, the total city is attracted flocks of seagulls. they've been learned by dumps and bins groaning with food, checked away by residents and tours. while the birds get more and more comfortable, some romans are getting increasingly annoyed. now the suggest administration has come up with a new idea to tackle the invasion off the super. it's so new sets in room and within a time for the singles in that own slice of power. dice were abundant. tourists provide a balance of policies around 50 years. ago there wasn't a single see go around here, but now the, every with the romans have mixed feelings through the pretty. i like it when they spread their wings and the look at you as a parent talking to you world is when joy, the company. and i will buy, mia, it's all it's up in us last night when the delivery came in

a siegel to come up with a fish. so you end up running after them. they've got a good idea that a w and we've had his gum, the restaurant suspects now sick and tired. if the wings thieves for that and don't know, you know, he, the seagulls accounts on the trash bags holding all the food scratch on it. if they can't open the bags and then drag them right across the street. no, but to the southern sofa, all attempts to expend the beds have been in vain. but now the falcon erie romani bed control service has arrived on the scene when it comes to driving away the trouble makers, navea into harris's whole car in high demand. see goals have been bothering the guest on the rooftop terrace of the hotel pon to cease though for weeks. the only dear is simple. younger than that, maybe i mean just because it goes become afraid because there is a predator nearby that could harm their young dude. okay. paul saw last. i don't they sense it's not a safe place for their young and leave their area to be single downloads on us to go without the video. it'd be clear. even the big the goal is keep

a healthy distance from those close. so that of yeah, so the pray return every 2 weeks. they don't one goals, they just scare them away. flavio has a soft spot for that, which explains another falconry and the deep funding she has with a whole lot of dyslexia trained her and she grew up with me and the over time we've developed a trusting relationship and go for the store. and if you do show, thanks to her, perhaps one day the sea goes invasion of room may just be a footnote in the cities storage history. well, it certainly seems the sea goals have tried to make the trundle say to their internal home. that's all from us today. i hope you enjoyed the show. you can look up all our reports in our website, dw, the. com. thanks for watching and see you next week the
