the european parliament brussels where the people of europe send their representatives. because of the boxes of the of them please. they belong to the people will jump at these to hold the european union to account. a look you can hear us look inside. what do they do here. nothing. there's a hugely important debate about the future all to european union today and i'm trying to see. i mean it's impossible for them to people but it is a european problem and it's not accountable. like even in croatia in the parliament you have a balcony with ordinary people can come every day and look what's happening but you know. the closest i can get is the press room where we get to see our representatives on t.v.
9:07 am
. but then the european parliament is unique. normally parliaments the wise their own laws but here they can only accept or reject legislation from the unelected european commission you know seven years ago it's one of the reasons you believe there nigel farage says britain well it's believed that you leave and just days after the break sit while he's relishing his success well i have to say you know lawful now i. know that. that's a lot to say given all the deal greece and the rest that are traded you've done very well by stance by deception without. trees you would call them. here the first thing is the tree is right everything was. correct even if you love. a site there's a treasure of the of the of you know if. i may not agree with what he stands for
9:08 am
but that's the paradox of europe today that's what i'm saying so what has cause he's saying you're against europe. question yes how do explain the rise of you'll keep on trying less and you'll become europe. i don't know how do you explain how do you explain the rise of foot i'm australian how do you explain the rise of some reason you know how do you explain that it's a failing on your opinion and i want to turn yes ok here. you are getting the growth of houses across the political spectrum the growth of rejectionism of this model because the model doesn't work and we saw what we had then i mean we have nation states because of nation states borders walls and there isn't this dangerous oath and democracy but where is the marker say what is not here. so i'm going on a journey to understand how come the far right can claim to be deceivers democracy eula.
9:09 am
you know it was old one we saw how europe is facilitating gets on colonization privatization the extraction of resources in secret trade deals like the t.t.p. . the nature of the remains is a construction of ultra neo liberal system will cement culture here and we believe in europe. and the financial forces behind the politicisation are driving governments into wars abroad. which in turn are producing refugee flows the challenge an already anxious population. the major decisions that determine how life is lived are made without popular participation and that causes anger frustration and. contempt for the parliamentary system and leads
9:10 am
to erratic and often frightening reactions that's couple little severe economic growth. in deceptive and examine how the anger and frustration generated by this wailed politicisation could be the end of european democracy as we don't. know member two thousand fifteen terrorists attack paris killing one hundred thirty people leaving over four hundred injured. attacks on brussels airport and nice followed all carried out in the name of i.c. . so how did you don't make sense of this we discussed it as coming out of norway or in explicable acts committed by evil people because of their adherents to a religious ideology. but just because a neck this inexcusable doesn't mean it's inexplicable.
9:11 am
non tomsky is a prolific writer only international relations and the riches of terrorism you look at news international these are people from the. miserable suburbs or older it's internal problems that are leading to terrorist attacks again people with you know the people involved people been picked up by the police at least. very few. shallow islamic groups they're drawn to jihad is. kind of a way out of their group ration and humiliation. internally for. the belgian and terrorist attacks were carried out by
9:12 am
a man from brussels. if somehow runs a youth center here in the district of small and. i five nice to meet you yes welcome to little bit of things when you show us around a bit yeah. you'll encounter any kind of discrimination maybe already in your childhood because you are of my stories and never let the first is in my school. and the family just springing posting some but mostly. to. believe that some of the terrorists for committed the terrorist attacks in madrid in paris and also here were from welcome back is the level of discrimination higher today after the. terrorist attacks. when you learn a yes or no because i tell you of course after that that she said like morning which is that oh no nothing in the thing oh no nothing in the morning big i mean
9:13 am
when you see the people who committed some i thought by let's review missed him we've done this a lot of addition there were people let's some months before there was the need to get drinking alcohol so the problem is not the stand the problem is the money big the problem is the do you feel the problem is money in the are both are the feelings that that we did and did not do as politician and as media also that's that make them feel that those people so it's clear that from the society so they were just like reka enough to be on board it in some in some extreme areas. but could this just be an exultant i want to find some hard evidence. so we arrived at the free university of brussels and we're trying to see
9:14 am
a very is the office of. dr karim karim has been studying the experiences of muslims in belgium including discrimination and radicalization here this. is what we're observing versions that if you have. or turkish or freakin background you have between twenty and thirty percent less chines to get a job. even if you have a nice a or degree is there any date and what is your explanation for those people who are second and third generation for turning to a more radicalized version of islam we aren't in societies which have difficulties to provide and to produce sense we always see that there is no more difference between left and right. they are answering questions sometimes in a very. many care and white and black.
9:15 am
ways to deal with answers but there are answering these issues and answer they are providing sense and if we don't understand things we are not going to fight in kingston sound this idea into trouble. and could explain the recent rise of europe's high rise in the same way as a desperate search for signs. across europe openly xenophobic parties are the rising political force. in austria presidential candidate gore but author stalked on to refugee sentiment. you know me in my. community. even in germany the alternative if your daughter party are now winning seats in the regional parliament.
9:16 am
in an attempt to eliminate them many parts of the center of the op that they're sort of for be sure one of the canonical because all too many of the fit extraordinaire do circular false sport any more serious sumburgh the rest of the small they farm. do not take extremist. as you go. but france is broke up and didn't neutralize the anti me gratian front. instead it helped legitimize their leader marie le pen who is now a serious contender for the next presidential election. if she wins she's pledged to take france out of to you. it's easy to dismiss the supporters of the far right as ignorant racists but the current reality is much more complex. in slovenia and to refugee
9:17 am
sentiment has balls to the far right. but it's a simple for the put prize says philosopher slow he got going to be. good with this but i think that it is optional clee cool sure for example when you talk about. immigrants and the warm did you read eat as a shim dumb as a reaction of what dish but i won't in today's beak global capitalism dead sticky don't moralize don't just accuse ordinary people how can they be shallow and so once i can don't tell me understand a french ordinary worker who feels threatened don't talk. properly but the question what went wrong in society that opened up the space for immigrant rights she should.
9:18 am
know because possibly europe smokes and a full the arctic. and the turk largest in the hungary and parliament would you be sure. to let us know when you meet them you don't want that i was there many people you were going to go because somebody thought me when i was there that talk all got actually settled which was a lot going to look at me got a case i wasn't going to get you any. the uk or something you. unlike most of europe so far right alongside their intolerance of foreigners runs promises of economic protection. after twenty six years of transition from communism hungary remains one of the poorest countries of the e.u. . there are still nearly one million people living in homes without electricity and
9:19 am
heating. in your books young leader goblet of war no nor staring. at it when a woman a crucial one woman a crew was going door to put your arm on the critical shoulder plea because she has a lot of luck was actual cause more than you got to shag she got a leash. on your body to get over your mouth but i'm with you not so nice to get some out of what your side was a. unique neck how do explain this success of your big in hungary you're beginning to the more your side when are we going to show up politically but after all my back to my good medical info even i'm a free young lad and said you're. only. going to give the. show me a book of short to go when your side want to live in what your apartment at the all
9:20 am
of your good eban will become a bit of. course as you already actually fell into she just the way you'll be good to you goes i would have been one where you're my divorce i'm going to. illuminate your field all automatic assault on us to see that he is each just on me then i don't shock a shochet when i shall try to look john i shall go. i mean best that she does any good one but never mean heat. and if we get it i think a study that if you met with saudi prince. it's like you know other parts of europe big success is put under his prime minister viktor orban forwarded to the right. that's a friend i get your hay in our little cars and that isn't that what i meant that's got to be star shack. so you friend i got to be a lush i'm usually a more gotta call on when i'm sceptical to what i got to teach. so in two thousand and fifteen or but build a fence to keep the refugees far out of hungary and move many wealth from.
9:21 am
other countries across europe quickly followed and the borders were sealed. this is post fascism says hungary and political scientists cash but how much. i do form of the ideology that can operate within fee markets and democracy. the classic condition that this coming this time from the right. it is very successful. in which public opinion. accepts that there is an inn and the out is an interior and there's an exterior and even the remaining old left is defending the ins and rejecting the house i'm in that respect.
9:22 am
even this gentle f.g. is being conquered by this logic basically in economic terms no liberalism on the one hand is accepted. of the enemy towards the east. call it russia will call it is long is accepted. and the abandon movement of the. unemployed ill. at such a populations within even the course country is the exception. but if we accept the logical finster now. if you create another to blame for our economic caleb's. i would not also creating the conditions for outer italian fascism. closer for agnes heller whose father was killed in auschwitz thinks we need reminding about europe's blood of european
9:23 am
leaders who are totally blind and even have had their focus about the european past europe into twenty a century has emerged that hundred million europeans or european countries who are either dictatorship or subjected themselves to dictatorships either now to some of us fascism or stalinism so much you mean democracy in europe this goal almost nothing and even after checking for adverse event you were a democracy start that they developed invest and euro they developed all invest that was the case in spain in portugal in greece ever dictatorships a democrat liberal democracy is new in europe and they pretended that it was our tradition it was centuries or bush was it not. things who are well economy's going crazy people get to share each and every year at this point liberal democracy is
9:24 am
fantastic the moment economy does not show that where americans there are problems then immediately it is for link up our people the people don't want it anymore they call for food and they call for their leader and it call for a strong man or song. and it's not just. that people are turning to so-called strong men in the hope of economic protection. however deceptive that may turn out to be. but the anger and frustration at europe's financial colonization also took a very different form. a recent example of it is to be found in paris. when president obama tries to introduce a new law that loses french labor rights and makes war more precarious. the usual
9:25 am
demonstrations lead to something else. look at pace. for the last two months hundreds of activists have gathered here every evening for what they call the elite the. the night stand given to us to see if you. can use of my. past with the centuries the general assembly where up to five thousand people gathered to discuss how to solve problems. the refugee crisis the precarious floor and their fire. even when divided to respect. such an occupation has different committees a committee for ecology kmita product bonamy committee for legal matters and so on . they conceptualize this cus different proposals all right here and then they come with the proposals and the ideas to the general assembly and then the general assembly all of them together in a process of their liberation they decide on the next. economy committee
9:26 am
wanted to be interviewed together what are the topics you are specifically your group dealing with the economy commission so first of all commission is to all or to people to be appropriate do you try to develop debates which. stolen by its guts . ok why do you think it makes sense to gather here and you know in this square there is rainfall and so on if we have already parliamentary democracy in parliaments and institutions. and members want to do good to class the first good or third to look down in law is no. downside to the complex. and when you take. your piece of paper mr patel least. of it all up and plugs in the real. numbers one hundred your community is good for
9:27 am
going online will be just that there will be just a transition. in a pretty. big if so. what people are lacking in representative the micro democracy to put it very simple is representation they don't feel represented it's the people. joining the. most of them said you know i don't even go to vote anymore because i don't want to vote for a london i don't want to ban it they realize that the real power is not even anymore in the national governments the real power is that the europe will. be in the european commission european central bank institutions where all of these people who are here tonight are not represented the dole.
9:28 am
it's the same realisation that sparked the two thousand the level of resistance which spread from seed that must carry the. words of the soul in spain across europe to bulgaria romania selenium and even free. the from. in bosnia the citizens assemblies went beyond making easy to satisfy demands and like all colonial resistance movements demanded the right to rule themselves. what you can see in the european union today is that we have at least two directions one directions we can see in hungary and in other countries where we have the rise of fascist right wing extremist movements what we can see in paris today is that we have also an attempt of direct democracy which is not linked to right wing extremism but it is linked to the critique of the labor
9:29 am
law which was the trigger for fortis rothfuss it is linked to the solidarity movement to try to help the refugees and he said it is a creation of a new political imagination. and in part two we look at where dead could take us. stories of life. and inspiration. and series of short documentaries from around the world. that celebrate the human spirit against the odds come up come to something someday. al-jazeera selects change make this at this time. we have a news gathering team here that is second to their all over the world and they do
9:30 am
a fantastic job when information is coming in very quickly all at once you've got to be able to react to all of the changes and al-jazeera we adapt to them. my job is is to break it all down and we held the view on the stand make sense of it. and i again am fully back to go with the headlines on al-jazeera saberi b.s. crown prince mohammed bin salman has met the u.s. president at the white house donald trump used large cards to illustrate the number of u.s. arms being sold to. the bradley vehicles that's the tanks one point two billion
9:31 am
dollars and the p eight poseidon one point four billion dollars and what it does is it really means many many jobs we're talking about over forty thousand jobs in the united states so we're make the best equipment in the world is nobody even close. the arabia is buying a lot of this equipment. the chief executive of political consultancy firm cambridge analytical has been suspended after recordings were released of him boasting about the firm's ability to sway elections the london based companies accused of gaining unauthorized access to the details of fifty million facebook users at least sixty four civilians have been killed in the last remaining rebel held parts of eastern ghouta after a time by the syrian military and its allies thirty five others have also died after a rocket fired by rebels landed in a market in government controlled damascus myanmar's president has announced he is

stepping down on his official facebook page tain show didn't specify why his leaving the post but rumors of his poor health have been circulating for months joe who took office in two thousand and sixteen is a close friend and ally of on sons who achieve he'll be succeeded by a military nominated vice president mean sure until parliament confirms a replacements south korea's president says a three party meeting with the u.s. and north korea may be possible when jane is expected to meet north korean leader kim jong il next month the u.s. president donald trump has also said he is willing to meet his north korean counterpart in the near future. and police in the u.s. state of texas have been investigating an explosion at a charity store in austin they're on high alert after a series of bombings in the state this month but say the latest since dent is not related this comes after a package bomb filled with nails and shrapnel exploded at a fed exist center early on tuesday two men have been killed and several others
9:33 am
hurt in five separate attacks. those are the headlines on al-jazeera europe's have been colony continues next year stay with us. was it was the. old mole that i like to call it the thought that death that popped through we all saw the movie what we did member how it ended the movie. did you start it was the problem in the people who take over ok it's the only shit beat i made it to shame my mom got into slavery ok she's dead but even if she would be alive to feel i'm called the thought of in debt that part of to do but what happened then ok people take over what you lost how do they change this state what did they go.
9:34 am
it's a great question and maybe one that political theory condoms. maybe instead the answer is to be found in how ordinary people are coping with the crisis . in greece some of the energy from simple must bear has come here. what we can see here looks like a very ordinary market seem like any other market in europe you can see people selling not people selling fords people telling me. but it's not an ordinary market it's a very unique market. a complete economy is being created in me because of the financial crisis. it's called the normie the men movement and it's a response to greece's powerful supermarkets who try to increase prices while paying farmers less so some decided to cut out the middleman and sell basics like eggs and potatoes directly to the people. the big difference is customers order
9:35 am
everything in other ones true the organizers and come here before picking up their boots. and it's changing shopping habits as people grouped together to buy cheaply in bulk. it's busy today we know most of these is not so good because it usually. will be like one thousand dollars and we'll really you know one month on what is the amount of money which is circulating i do know that this because. we have some on the order of about sixteen russian police here less than fifty forty five seats because people have a very very sharp eye on the monitors where it's getting worse and they're getting worse because of the crisis. the community run market also asks everyone to help support those in need because the producers have to give a percentage of the sales in food. what is the percentage they get
9:36 am
a voucher i think. so this is the basket of solidarity all of you know the book from inside but not from the producers everyone of the consumer who comes here may if your she wants. some formed. when there's more than this movement of solidarity started we had the just ten families now after for. those. we have one hundred and forty families. so no it's not known and we don't want the state involved because this is a. movement of people of peoples who have the power. they feel the power back they couldn't rely anymore on the government and on the other they didn't want to sell the goods to the supermarkets. particularly interesting as
9:37 am
someone who was born in yugoslavia. we should experiment to be told called self management socialism is that all of this functions as a kind of self management although when you speak to the people. they wouldn't describe themselves as socially. you see such things it gives us hope that include a few million things football differently. you can see why didn't all middlemen movement wants to stand apart from the state but to bring about large scale change don't citizen lead movements need to be brave or. i mean humble germany the heart of the european empire to hear about one such movement that's profoundly changed the city. germany has a very active environmental movement as demonstrated in actions like this one in
9:38 am
two thousand and ten. it was a protest against what and for what the swedish company had allowed repeated accidents to cure at nearby nuclear power plants so one hundred twenty thousand people joined hands to link the two power stations together a distance of over one hundred kilometers. after that protest some workers felt empowered to take on powerful companies as well as the state under the leadership of the huns. we came here very. evident and i'm almost done via many upon him books even just warm formalised numbers of five hundred questions just yesterday that. such a thing was previously on the ship right yeah and. read. only good to stephany's and yeah. internet tonight is that you urged countries to liberalize calls for privatized
9:39 am
their energy markets. this vattenfall took over much of germany's energy supply including cumbersome electricity grid. until the because campaign convinced the city to buy back. the reasons i asked as you know. as it's an tarzan. question dystrophin because i made this isn't that slightest long ago damaged. ten thousand on the shelf because i'm just so i just prefer them first in charge of a few not fifty thousand tried to do. and what were the main arguments of the complaint. the nets are in. busy fitting in and even though i know that some can you know even send a complex as a hoe on the net never and if have been no color orange dust. benefiting from a host when dozens of new. but they only
9:40 am
managed a narrow win in the referendum we just fifty point nine percent in favor. probably because they were up against the entire establishment the mayor the main central coast and right parties the energy companies and even the unions. as in the we should often. does the humble. beginnings of you dust and fun for you take on cunt say an entree reasoning and hasn't come via you other than a program one sees and that's of it so looking forward and does. yeah that's vic me try to not. and in two thousand and sixteen humber but back then there's a great so now its profits go back to the city. the gas and heating networks will follow suit and i'd look for the energy companies and their investors.
9:41 am
send their home via the tin and things may fish then it's just fired for it at the nexus one and one hundred best anderson easter sunday and first to copy tides fourteen girl got as it just wasn't right and had some point. after the fall of the venom hole there was huge enthusiasm for him and his ations in free market ideology what we have seen in home work is that maybe today he said yes challenge and we have a new kind of enthusiasm which isn't was just to take the public message. since then one hundred and seventy german towns have taken back control of their energy create. some as a result of pressure from citizens some through the policies of forward thinking mayors. in the former east germany was such mayor has come up with a unique way of handling the refugee crisis.
9:42 am
on my journey i've seen refugees forced to leave in appalling conditions and defined as the political other. but in friedland they have taken a different approach. this was once a busy town full of factories processing regional a cultural produce but the fall of the barely wall so factories closed and the jobs leave. merivale should block of the century right christian democrats is a former factory worker determined to save the town and see on the new just good old myths that sort of like a funk ozomatli luckily for friedland the mayor has plenty of energy.
9:43 am
as a hero i know of course between that you took a public. up and down and also to survive as a man in tamer. and in a companion it's one and mention god compile your eyes in the outside when you remember. when the berlin wall came down west germany privatized the state on the east german economy enterprises deemed uncompetitive verse old for a pittance and close. i get taken. to fourteen and us flight of our hoods a man does funny so if i'm in a normal force as i did ah god in which i spy on your own flim i understand that we are seeing between a pivot called one of. the two it's
9:44 am
a fin and as that's in our splits and. despite attempts to attract new industry most young people move away so the population here is shrinking and getting older isn't the start on this fear dimension. of who kind of modern and feeling and. so the mayor had an idea to both help refugees in need and revive his town. by doing it in. the bottom slowly beaten to the mention a hundred victims with the kinds and are exact arms or is going to be killing and. it's time to see who comes and we just because i'm the animal i need to shift the day beyond what it is now that that's very vital nets for man often. i am under the flight the ship he didn't figure into are these are the most much we are doing ones are. the. ones often seen lots and flights of fancy words and.
9:45 am
you can. escort. so they've asked for more than their photo for refugees and they're even trying to mine their bribery to convince them to stay. home floating exchange you can see this is the place where the refugees. they can get free this is all full of holes. you're no good no good no gang now yes everyone smile that oh this is gross. and they feel no conflict because you know they're well they stick to. their ninety one point. zero zero you are so fucking that here now yeah come you know thinking that they can do . that much my mind crushingly all yeah yeah and he's going to come the king and almost. talking to the mayor you begin to understand why uncle americal was keen
9:46 am
for germany to accept so many syrian refugees here bombing anslinger id's let him go through me that's good but are you voting one. reason to deploy the bomb you're going to. do that before i was shown almost one hundred chance to win the business by. which four hundred fifty refugees living in this small town there is the potential for conflict and misunderstanding but the mayor has set up a committee to avoid just that. showed up from this is the meeting this is the meeting of the. entire block oh oh. social services the job center churches schools and businesses all sent representatives here hardly dislike them in the present that even from them flicking going to hear anything. you do
9:47 am
yeah. yeah but maybe it's a good idea. dr morse you can also hold classes rheumatism i should just remove for pulling teeth pulled from. my new. year's aircraft in the woods and much to do with. this time clean. in a while not confined to the shots from here. this short. while i live all in the willing and. ready to shoot it was awful. so there was a doctor from syria already here varies here today in berlin so what they're trying to do is actually because four of the doctors who are here now are going to pension and they want to keep some of the afghan or syrian doctors here so they are also discussing this at the moment because they are a need for doctors the town is now famous for its quest to find a new population but what do the refugees fink here in feel and how do
9:48 am
people call it here how did it treat you sometimes so it. is so us. as a strangers you know. but in general if they are good you live in one of these apartments yeah i live here. from six months here i have five nurses in the house with me. and by the house it was good you would do stay in friedland if you would find a job here or do you know right now as well as if the small yeah it is small and i want to get on with my in my study of the city richard can probably only do in the bigger to. leave early on how mostly or maybe the mere norse that's how most will react that's why his plan rests on just ten percent of the refugees wanting to stay. most of the population in your role in ten or twenty
9:49 am
years will be population above sixty or seventy so in a way the coming of refugees to this style presents a possibility because younger people a younger population and the think it can be applied on the european level as well maybe to say that the refugees can be a fall for revitalisation of want and what it shows is that the real change can be done on the municipal level and that maybe radical politics of the twentieth century is not on the sill from national international level but on the local level . we've seen radical movements in big cities and a compassionate mayor in a small town but to even begin to bring about change on the scale europe needs will require new and radical thinking in a major city. spain second largest city is not run by a button on a in common
9:50 am
