politicians in london debate over when and how the u.k. should leave you the more dangerous the situation is becoming in northern ireland it is here at this countryside where the uncertainty is most probable farmer's fields travel both sides of the border and every day people cross it seamlessly the prospect of a hard border between the republic of ireland and northern ireland has reignited fears of a conflict after twenty years of peace well more than three thousand people died and tens of thousands were injured during what's known as the troubles those decades of violence were put to an end in one thousand nine hundred ninety eight with the good friday or belfast peace agreement but for the hard line republicans the fight for a united ireland isn't over young people like paddy gallagher see a hard break sit as their golden opportunity to reclaim the north from great britain. the unfinished revolution miral identifies this building as

a local headquarters of northern ireland's most dangerous political party c route irish for liberation the party demands the unification of ireland it was founded in twenty sixteen just three months after the bracks that referendum. the party shop carry souvenirs of what they describe as the heroic struggle against the british occupation of northern ireland. the public face of syria is party spokesman twenty six year old paddy gallaher. he's living proof the irish nationalists are finding young recruits. the bricks and referendum have the effect of driving even more young people into the radicals arms. speak up your people within our communities i can understand. it will be angry if there is. a for infrastructure of this british day or. it's a call of a people will get angry. and. there

a very looking period to siri for for answers or or advice from not. many of the party supporters come from the poor irish catholic neighborhoods. since the end of the troubles over twenty years ago little has changed for them unlike the great majority of northern irish for many of them the conflict itself is still not settled. it's quite clear to the british occupation of iraq and all three some of occupation of iraq. just as before the principal enemy is the northern irish security forces the police station in central london derry or derry as the catholics call it is heavily guarded just as if there had never been a peace agreement. and for good reason last january the radicals demonstrated what they're capable of an unknown individual particle in

front of londonderry school building the driver fled the explosion followed soon after. analyst blamed the self-styled new ira for the attack the police paddy gallaher sea route party as the political arm of this group gallaher vehemently denies this. shortly after the attack graffiti was spotted saying the ira is here to stay gallaher soon makes it clear. he sympathizes with the sentiment the ira of today that is what we're going army that are function and install kind of resistance against british occupying forces. aren't seen as a new. i think. he sees it as a continuation of the old struggle as if there had been no twenty year peace process at all. but the northern irish police have changed radically today pro

british protestants work side by side with pro irish catholics mike lindsay is head of the police union he warns that a bracks it may well give the radical forces the boost they've been looking for i think it's an opportunity for them to keep their political views on the agenda i think no other reason than that i think northern ireland in the whole of ireland is a different place than it was twenty five thirty years ago these people don't move on they're very much caught in the rhetoric of the past being opposed to commemorates the british security officers killed before the good friday peace agreement lindsay fears more could be added the northern irish police are hopelessly understaffed we simply do not have enough officers to be able to comfortably with whatever the dynamic of that will bring your oh there's a hard border or a soft border there's an expectation that the dynamic on the place and dynamic in the border area will change and there will be a different place in approach in some respects. the union leader shows evidence of

how delicate the current peace can be a photo taken in northern ireland's capital belfast in twenty seventeen. and unmarked police car was shot at the sniper is alleged to have come from the ranks of pro irish militants. one of them was willing to give us an interview through intermediaries we received an unexpected invitation from the revolutionary shin fame party a pro irish splinter group were taken out to a small northern irish town. this party to is seen as the political wing of the militant nationalists who had never taken part in the peace process we're not allowed to show their faces. whether it be a hard or soft border it's the low. and on this for zach's republicans are concerned the only president we be concerned. predecessor the violent act of violence that is of the whole island called ireland and he sees violence to that

end as justified. this subject to political and military. occupation of the syrians. and the continued to stand there there's always a piece of armed struggle. the young irish nationalist party member paddy galahad wants the same thing the british out of iran and that no matter if there is a practice it or not. would you vote for this comedian as president well that's a question ukrainians will answer in just a few days when the country holds presidential elections act year of a lot of millions he may play a politician in his t.v. series but in reality he has never held office his campaign learns the line between fact and fiction and it seems to be resonating with voters in

a field of some forty candidates he has emerged as a leading contender while our reporter visited his headquarters in kiev where life is imitating art the ukrainian t.v. series seven top people and ordinary history teacher gets a surprise visit. yes . good morning mr president. in the next presidential election fiction could well become fact the post show act. in the lead his campaign style is a bit unconventional no glad handing the crowds hardly any interviews or even public apparent says but his promise to stay true to himself is having an effect but he ain't a bad guy folks and i'm glad dimmers alinsky mind venturing to join our elite and run for president of ukraine they call me a clown because i am

a clown and proud of it but i'm certainly not the only one. but who exactly is selenski. this building gives no indication of what's inside his campaign headquarters starved by lots of young ukrainians the working atmosphere is consciously open and modern almost like a startup. and jellicoe nova is a consultant for startups now she produces zilinskas campaign appearances on instagram as a volunteer like many of her generation she puts her entire faith in the candidate you wolf is we've known him for some time he's famous nobody's ever heard anything bad about him as a person getting a lot let's say of planet pork. and janica doesn't see his total lack of political experience and contacts as a problem on the contrary or one of the his whole life he's taken his material from politics. the book that he talks about what's happening in our country in the film

of humor of so for the state for the president to classes that are here but it's selenski really just a popular entertainer who's heard the call to end to ukraine's political arena some observers have their doubts they suspect him of being just a front for the only god eat whole column arrival of president petro poroshenko. t.v. channel has brought cost almost all of its selenski series yeah it was delayed but i don't see him as a marionette many who know him personally and of seen him of work so he's got a very strong will and a tough leadership style but he just he will try to distance himself from call noise again but he understands intuitively that there's a risk doesn't do what you want but you might that the reason that you will but the expert doubts you can do anything to change ukraine's often corrupt government structures zillion ski in his series have created a cherished political fallacy that only an outsider from among the people can

triumph over the existing system that's an illusion he can't manage what just a small team so much more for ukrainians like and janica that's precisely what gives the lenski credibility five years after the revolution in kiev smite on her generation feels betrayed by ukraine's politicians the reform process has been burned down. gosh there we're better whenever there everything repeated for the up team to time it every election posters are just more or less recycled the slogans and even the promises are always the same the great heart of law to me is that he doesn't promises the earth and the moon he's got visions and goals but makes no promises. and jellicoe came to care for eastern ukraine in twenty fourteen the fighting is still going on there. to this day they're still shooting where i come from. when i went back over new years i

couldn't go to sleep at night because of the shooting in kiev they've completely forgotten the war. is over she shows us pictures of her seven year old son weiland jellicoe works for the campaign he stays with its grandparents only a few kilometers from the front. but also for vladimir selenski because he wants to end the division between now ukrainian and russian populations he doesn't divide and conquer he unites and i like that. his t.v. series and his party are both called servant of the people in both selenski takes i'm accustomed park to power in ukraine fact and fiction merge his audience is sure to stay tuned for the conclusion will it be an inauguration in real time. there is hardly a church more powerful in europe then the greek orthodox church it is one of the

richest institutions in the country and religion is embedded in the constitution but a landmark agreement is seeking to remove the church as a pillar of greek society priests are to be cut from the government payroll well it's a reform that would free up two hundred million euros per year for the state but priests like constantine elitists see it as a threat to their livelihoods. konstantinos michel a disc of the divine service in his church in athens. when he holds mass he forgets the argument about who should pay his salary that's raging outside the state wants to find michelle he does the church is supposed to pay most of his salary in the future for the highly religious greeks that's almost a revolution. but since the debate is totally

superfluous. it's clear that the church will never die because it is christ himself even in centuries to come whatever happens and when we're all gone the church will still exist and why do we have to talk about this now years with the way we work is not going to change we won't be saying fewer masses as a result of the but actually. less this year would he get them. right now the government's proposal to remove ten thousand civil servant priests from its payroll including michelle latest the father of two raises many more questions than it answers orthodox christians are split over the move. the last word last of i don't want to comment i just want to say that it's unwise to upset priests because they're doing god's work. he said when i think the church has enough money why should i pay my pension and salary have been cut. and the

church has its own rich state it can finance itself here or not which i do to get politicians and church leaders a still looked in tough negotiations throughout the economic crisis great governments have often spared the very rich church in tax matters for example and all politicians have turned a blind eye to the greek orthodox churches past tricks. yet one of them if this. is the total number of. on the payroll and the total number of pastoring don't add up and what the polls are those jobs that the law lays down as necessary but i think there has been a slight increase in the number but a lot of priests get paid without having a permanent position on them. some of the ones who are going to guess this another contentious issue is that nobody knows how much real estate the church has because greece still hasn't got a land registry church lawyers like pannier topless see it as

a major political failure he also dislikes the new salary proposals. favor. if the government wants ten thousand jobs it can create them. to do that one does not have to withdraw the salary of ten thousand priests in a way that is bottom comprehensible and an ethical course the question about the church's assets has been asked for years but never and said many people think the disclosure would come the uproar over the job cuts. all even though the church insists its wealth is not great but how much is it nobody knows the land richest it hasn't been kept for years we were fined by the e.u. because of that. but up again. greece is desperately short of money and funding for schools hospitals and welfare has been slashed the government hopes it can create new jobs by cutting the ten thousand priests from its payroll.

the church cannot stand in the way of new structures there are hospitals need more staff right now and so do our educational institutions. but brother constantino still doesn't see how that will help him he earns about a thousand euros a month and also receives private donations he hopes that the negotiations will benefit everyone concerned and that he won't be forgotten. there the. as the movie path will be not sound from a purely human standpoint i am as the father of a family and in fact all priests in greece of course we feel in secure. peace that i have. said that death is to us always feel that we will be held hostage if he agree ment on pay is really him plummeted that was the law you call. until then however he continues to sin if his congregation he also knows that

greece will vote next year some he prays not only for his sheep but also for his own future and his family's. well switzerland is home to some of the safest roads in europe the country has adopted strict laws that have significantly lowered mortality rates among motorists and now switzerland has found another way to keep drivers safe healthy for senior citizens every two years retirees like heinz share who live after prove they're fit for getting behind the wheel the whole. the where. the one. hundred fifty. a vision test for seventy seven year old heinz shirton live he's undergoing a health check and there's a lot at stake. if he fails the test he's going to have to give up his swiss driver's license. things are not cannot see him and he needs the license otherwise

he won't be able to get to his music club anymore. pop it over because i need to come on public transport doesn't work that was. his family doctor is examining him closely for any signs of disease it's a comprehensive check up the primary goal is to detect any signs of dementia. as most of you can falls in it certainly makes sense to identify people who are experiencing brain deterioration in cognitive failure because you just know they'll be overwhelmed in traffic on you before. and that's why the swiss crack down on unfit seniors who are over seventy five but many of them are not willing to surrender their driver's license without complaint most wisting to buy annual tests are just fine and i have a colleague here who is just surrender to why didn't i since at the age of ninety two budgets of course disastrous. meant sick if this sick or demented and they

still driving it's too dangerous that's just took if they had a. structural and raise to limit from seventy to seventy five at the beginning of the year mostly because older people are staying healthy longer if you have only simple health problems you can still keep your license but with restrictions. for example i might drive and that's people who can still see very well in daylight can keep on driving but are no longer allowed to drive at night. all these measures are aimed at ensuring greater safety on swiss roads would be racers do not get off lightly. this is a speed check in torgau. switzerland probably has the world's toughest fines for speeding. also driving at one hundred fourteen stead of eighty outside town makes

you a speedo. on up to four years imprisonment and your vehicle could be confiscated as material evidence i get so. but some people still don't seem to know about the tough punishments because drivers appear a certain kilometer zone of more than eighty sophisticated technology means that no speedster should get off scot free. this device would be able to monetize up to four lane similar tain asli on the motorway. speed limits are sacred to the swiss they see them as the key to safer roads. importing with the best speed limits were introduced in switzerland out of town eighty one hundred twenty on the motorway fifteen town it led to a marked decrease not only in the number of fatalities but also of serious injuries if you talk to most swiss have got used to the speed limits. the side thoroughly

fine vs so many cars you can't go any faster than that anyway it's ok you get used to us here in system when you go to live stalled less fuel and fewer protests we don't need to think about the environment i think you know he's an eagle so it's not insanely fast but you get there that's been so nice i wouldn't like to be out there speeding on the freeway you know it's a bunch of these and that's what i do in germany. at times sherman lives final test his reflexes are excellent all in all he did quite well and he can keep his driver's license without any restrictions he thinks it's a fair decision. could be that they find it offensive drive not a hoot again. still his license comes with an expiry date his next examination is due in two years. when queen elizabeth met her first corgi in nine hundred thirty three it was love at first sight she has had dozens in her life and they've since become

a fixture of the royal family while the herding dogs are also loved here in germany with breeders sending their pets to the u.k. to mate but brags it has put the future of these runway views into question for the corgis and callie's and co in germany it may be time to bid farewell to their love island. they're the pride of the british empire now not queen elizabeth and the royal family but these top dogs. what could be more british than . collies like this biddy organelle and where is the head of the. world called in the queen's favorite for their good friends. that's what makes this dogs are british those are steel it has style probably at least i think so. it's big mouth and it's where the prove that.

at this dog show in the german state of brandenburg they're honoring british style . dogs are awarded points on their looks build gait and personality. india thirteen year old beard he is a veteran what makes this breed so special the ability of a deity want a baby as quickly as a sheep dog instead he'll think why does my master want me to come let us as a good reason then he'll come to them on. a par with a mind of his own how typically british and that's the problem u.k. breeders are proud to be british and even proud of breck's it is ciro boyd from germany's club for british herding dogs so after breaks it regulations for dogs entering the u.k. are likely to be tightened canines might have to spend weeks in quarantine not turn

it off of course there are really good breeders there and you'd like to use this dogs they have other genetic material than what we have here. if they can't go to the u.k. these dogs might not get a mate how shocking. germany's dog population soon be comprised of just ducks homes and german shepherds. injury of the baby now in the ring needn't worry about that much with the sixteen years she's a senior citizen. but folks here will also miss the camaraderie with their british counterparts some travel to birmingham each year to crufts the famous dog. it's about fulfilling a dream i'm crying because i wanted to do that once in my life even if we don't win we can say we were there and i'm going to visit. it's sad but cheer up other countries also have nice dogs and as far as breeding goes there's always artificial

insemination though for owners who prefer their dogs mate the old fashioned way it's bye-bye question. thanks for watching focus on europe don't forget you can also watch our show on line i think w dot com and feel free to get in touch with me on twitter about this week's topics but for now.
