santa. i.e. this shiny. no. has lost on to the not cool montanus is she. under the skin of what is then the one hand palm is a hobby and also as the most glamorous hilton in then she. saud a mother of 4 is a refugee in germany after her husband was badly injured in an isis attack in iraq she had to flee the country with her children and find safety in europe. trying. to.

look. as for so many others before and since getting to safety was difficult and sometimes dangerous. came out and said doing. something i thought i should see on your side and i let them know. this guy was all she had meant about him until kid. she had then what. john anymore. we did then moved and then did so and you know you know until. now so i don't have family i settled in debts mold a small city in north west in germany and would often i'm. want to bid on my land there he had a buffer so i. must say that been here at least understands this is just let's get this going. since 20

foot team germany has taken in more than one and a half 1000000 refugees. the majority from the middle east and north africa. upon arrival most are assigned to a new boomtown by the german government selected according to its population size and the standard of living. as a school does a slender d.z. . on distance to no desire to get on the scruff. of the such injuries to his start and aligned us. to say our factories he was going to be a fish can see what are they think of you don't know in this particular on this within existing. debt with around 70000 inhabitants was also to accept 700 migrants equivalent to about one percent of its population. the initial public response was cautious as we started to give you some of my good and for gay

but that's hardly for visual studio with my family to feel it mention of name on games or fan british doctrine the bush team think it ends every 2 weeks i think there's another. tell of the. and when we don't have each other then. it's i don't know it doesn't have a sense anymore. but as the refugees arrived detmold reacted positively to its new residents in large part because of the concerted efforts of integration made by the municipality the aim then and since has been to encourage as much interaction possible between the locals and the refugees through social events who can rise by the authorities. café welcome is just one example where anyone can come forward and ask questions over was their concerns and we had people asking things like why do

they come here and they claim our money but they have the newest smart they're supposed to be poor so it's an idea. actually supposed to be other ways they can't be refugees you need to have someone who is who is responding to those sort of questions and does give you the facts that you need to know and i think in that way we still experience a very privileged position because a lot of the population of that not really has said we want to make this walk and really want to be a city that welcomes refugees. one result of this imaginative integration process is that saw the hopeful children have discovered a new passion. for acting. they're part of a drama group called project theatre. mainly from refugees.

to professional performers mariam from france and german for newts who run the project so the life as mine. the group has been brought together in this paid for by the local authority to rehearse for a forthcoming public performance. to put this if. you go to. the group is going to be performing a piece inspired by their own stories yes just. can't

. take our last. name ones. because they're. going to. do. things. on the. side. so. to do. and they will know that i like to play but there i see myself just something. you

can see me i'm just whining and i'm talking. people are mean they're loving and you are joking but after all this is like drama when i'm alone sometimes i. so when i play before this make me forget. 33 year old emmanuel jerome comes originally from south sudan and has been in detmold for 2 and a half years. but his future is uncertain. unable to return home because his life is still at risk he applied for asylum 18 months ago and is still waiting to hear whether he will be allowed to stay in germany. in the meantime he's been relying on the charity of others and lives in this apartment in a retirement home owned by a local church so. maybe i'm delighted to see you sir.

chairman of. the house when a firm for supporting everyone is there for. even like a field i thought i. was old and work until it. sort of. he was forced to leave his family a mother and sisters back in sudan a country torn apart by war and famine he caught bad to display photos of them in his apartment. their fear. well it's so hard love to look at them and been 6 years without seeing them. even the pope was there in the fall sometime his facial i mean he's them so much i want to talk to them but when i was very well i was like why did i call it like i because i don't want to hear what is happening and i've done

we never talk even when we call us we are just crying you know she's crying my mother scale crying my not. i do. and the director of the drama group has come to visit. this year should he says. yeah in preparation for the performance marianne wants to find out more about how emanuel came to germany and how he's been managing since he got to detmold his story along with those of the other refugee act is will be woven into the script i think ted has you know been. told to must i think it could i just saw i think the time when yaz did this and just sat on the bed has shifted and yes you put his but what does it mean for you safety. for. safety is like a place where seeds and fear filled and that is

a lot of the people who love you are with you. if there is work of all who love your show you don't feel safe. we have people we are yellow we have all this and that's why we come to you at all because for for letting you know that is all that i had to start life you put a descent of a part of the house district a lot of different country or disc risk and this was the will of the field that he is that is you are right so we feel like if it's a whole lot of us if it's. emmanuel isn't the only one who's being encouraged to make his voice heard through the theater so i was also keen to show how positive experience of arrival in germany until gratitude at the welcome has received. even the thoughts of home a never far away quietly and i say. oh hi there was any of. those she knows that in comparison to other refugees she and her children

a food that they come from one of the 5 countries given priority status by the german state iraq syria iran eritrea and so malia their applications are processed more rapidly and help is provided more quickly upon their arrival the family were housed briefly in an abandoned military base before being moved to move into commendation the city pays their rent and the cost of heating. up almost home i want to be in below was not a time that i was to go to any. office on l.a. or. in addition to the housing so i had received around $1000.00 euros a month to support herself and her family and 2 children were immediately inroad in local schools. 18 months after their arrival 7 year old that i one now speaks german as well as she speaks arabic and is even

starting to learn english i can't stand you. when when you that there's good to be here in. fact. a local charity worker sabina has been helping the family through their arrival in germany so you did feel good i got home. today she has some good news for so our son who is ambitious to one day be an electrical engineer has managed to find him some vocational training which will begin in a few weeks. but these are follow from jokes and you know i was just a little it was rather distributed pushing so called a kind on loan for only. one job something you were going to invest into so you know it's all for our kids are coming here from syria and iran want to study

secret difficult to adapt to the german system that quickly to get into the language that you're covering that led me to study 2 countries another way to conclude apprenticeship and if you want to study the training electrical engineering as you do in a friend you should like it as an electrician and if you have loads of knowledge. as part of its integration program the german government has insisted that all new arrivals learn german. every morning so on sets off to school for 4 hours of lessons. any model their body their stalls and any fee that mellows of that mighty you'll be always how we am are highly. yeah sure it would be more. than british stands a bit i'm all for names i know cargo but do you know. as a when i know cargo when collins even visited me to come here to sit in the midterm

. with all. villani immersed it is easy indulge then leave and. you know you did this much to play a against the side of the united game i did but she was funny again easy again you know if you don't give in and if you're doing this to win the suit. who would stand up to shout i'd of fargo didn't order the. kid who has been the year he really did not like there is nothing good 0 to leave i don't think anyone should take them up from so much in the. house. at. 90 it's about well living in germany speaking a little bit but not fluent to you so it's not a problem when you make some mistakes we have an examination. at the end of this

course and a basic the most important thing is that they can speak and we can understand. our language lessons are funded by the state and free for refugees from the 5 countries given priority status by the german government but the oversubscribed with 200000 people nationally still in need of the place it means that not all the refugees and detmold have received the same treatment. you are going forward on these dudes are here to get a friend market bubbles in the us the brothers invest. it better in the end it was a shock of truth really truly to each of you i'm sure you talked off the shelf address he. says yeah sure sorry but i guess it's because he's from sudan which isn't on the government's priority list emanuel doesn't have access to as much support as other refugees so it's something of a sore point. for me either how about until now to make

a general files for free. if i want to make it you know how to play with us said. why not me and live for years it's not like i would if you started other people. the language problem is still a common stumbling block to full integration there's plenty of work here in theory . in 2014 germany opened its doors to refugees promising gainful employment. with an aging population and affording both free to countries and die in need of manpower but like many thousands of others emanuel will only really benefit when he can speak german competently. seeing him and we see in the meantime he's restricted to unskilled was only $350.00 euros a month reasons for coming here. for now emmanuel works for a charitable organization it collects unwanted funicello to distribute free of

charge to low income households. it's really just take it to our place and if they. decide needs someone is a need to come in our place. and if you see that something is going to take it. this is like shopping but without money. i understand the cereals need when someone is something so when i go daddy and some people come in the don't have anything and they get something it's making also feel good. how much you want it i thought you saw the need in the communal as i see it i never thought of the president of egypt i know i came over to digital the hottest been moved if. that so i had a little robot that you know if there's a ship i said you just want a 30 year old dhoni out there you think back in sudan emmanuel had a senior position at

a 5 star hotel. but here in germany he must make do with work as a removal man number less he considers himself internet for now. he is having real physical things i visit to do some things not making it to take on so i meet new people they just have some celebrity every day i have to work morning. to do my job as a human being so it's helping a lot it's not only about money as have been made to be healthy but even with a steady job under his belt emanuel fears that he will be allowed to stay in germany. to try him again and i've told him missions have missions. here you know it's a complete one up you know doesn't you know i said there's nothing in there but here is his german friend really has been helping him with his residency application he loves his warehouse which is why i'm here and she's my best friend

and this is and i'm ready and she's my everything thank you with so many refugees to deal with the state is swamped with asylum requests and sometimes it can take years before an application is processed. emanuel has been on the waiting list for 18 months for humanitarian reasons we ask for a complete stopping off him being rejected and the things said from germany. i think we would be successful also in this because we we believe in him and there's enough proof that a man has been well integrated this working here so it's good jobs as i think. this is called away from the complex paperwork and concerns about employment and language skills the theater performance is finally coming together. as a section i'm guessing is activating the 9 some kalash. is that a c i just finished. the song collage and this in noir 2 months but

as i knew me i just feel if i see it is love. just the theme for today's explosion fear of which still haunts some of the refugees. actually mr shims in my limited time. the highest us has only been the trashman. man of 19 a fool on. the un frizzy to. defund tieing. plentiful. is a yakked of mention. conant. and eventually just unleashed out.

and then all too quickly the big day arrives in debt most town square project theater could pass for that performance. entitled a meeting in paradise it's to be a possible reflection on what sanctuary in germany has given to the refugees on. ants i find. that out then i am a god exists or that i am not but it was and that is neat he would say give those things i feel ok i feel i feel. the show begins with the story of the refugees as flight from home feel.

as if you did it to get this into this is this to me. this is bad just to listen to . this in the belief if you do hear. in the 2nd top of the performance the audience is invited to get involved. so. they can taste the traditional soup listen to recitals from the migrants or sign up for some charity was. pleased to be in the ninety's is because this is a. thank you. thanks told you can go there and tweak something altogether if there's going to be the good and the good as if somehow i did with and then to really add fuel relative to the old so

like that wasn't meat and fish ones and it just wasn't interesting is that enough for nameless to be sacrificed by money by no means it would be wrong to conclude from this brief glimpse into germany's assimilation process no matter how successful it has been in detmold that refugee is a universally welcomed there is growing intolerance and frustration to be found here as elsewhere in europe and whether the doors remain open to migrants remains to be seen. for now though the $100.00 plus 1000000 years that is costing the german state seem to be being lost fans. thanks this is just the beginning of next week so when i tried to understand each other and to get together thanks again gentlemen i'll just get a. fix. desperate

for a better life millions of people have sought refuge in europe sometimes their dreams of century are realized but sometimes disenchantment drive them home. in the 2nd of 2 films on these contrasting experiences people in power meets the returning migrants now determined to discourage others from following the same home . to gambia back home from al-jazeera. the latest news as it breaks with no treatment or vaccine for 4 and a virus volunteers who say they'll continue to provide the services they go to fight the disease with details coverage along without any planning for india's

millions of lives and quickest. and fearless journalism from around the world for many coming to this place is the only chance they have to leave at least once a day. bigger and potentially more dangerous that's the best way to describe what's happening with the smoking alternative known as favorites i enjoy the taste of it and not get the harmful effects of what smoking does between 20132014 alone we start tripling in use among us high school students and head to head comparison easter eggs versus conventional cigarette which one do you think is healthier my opinion i think they're both dangerous take no on al-jazeera. al-jazeera was on a roller coaster journey in iran and discovered. how a refugee community. police and identity. i'd

like to do the work. i will be able to buy so much. from my son. to the site. afghan unity on al-jazeera. the u.s. congress approves a new $484000000000.00 relief failed to help keep small businesses afloat during the coronavirus pandemic but how much can it help new figures show $26000000.00 americans have now lost their jobs. and i'm fully back to watching al jazeera live from a headquarters in doha also ahead of thousands of students in hong kong are preparing for the year's most.
