close-up. county w. . cole. some time in the twenty six states you my great granddaughter will be born. but with the world be like in your lifetime and around half a century ago. when i was born there were three billion people if you will share the planet with nine billion. your world will be around two degrees warmer. inevitably sea levels will rise by at least one meter a century cut above. the earth going to have some climate impacts which are greater than the tsunami to. the tank.

it's really frightening more trouble we have to have to come up. why aren't people more concerned about. the boots starts to first d.w. . come on the world. you know it's interesting because this came from an informer. you need to be careful they're really mad at you. your articles have made them very angry. you have to be much more careful than usual so. their total scumbags. they wouldn't hesitate to detonate a bomb under your window. or use

a member of your family to seek revenge yes. there have been two bomb explosions. ostia a seaside suburb of rome. this road links austria to the rest of the city. at the daily newspaper la repubblica research regarding the explosions is underway . frederica undulate is a local reporter her beat is mafia activities. from suppose it would bomb two bombs

exploded one in front of the house and one on the balcony of the mother of the principal witness tamara in a mafia case glory's with tamara is a young woman who statements have helped police arrest thirty two members of the spada clan mafia. companion. and tomorrow is partner is the nephew of a high level criminal could mean it and this is when a criminal is murdered then his gang which includes the nephew here automatically gets absorbed into a stronger clan is always funny but they in turn off their chain grab at all chain traffic back to their camp you for their. time for an editorial meeting. they have been bones in austria evacuations and seven arrests he went to where there are some new developments in the story first there's the mother who's told me all about her daughter the principal witness who was tracked down by this spot as.

give it a whole page. with a fear that this is her son calling. oh hi is everything ok i'm taking care of your mother don't worry. they are not humans they're beasts remember when they threaten my daughter's life my children don't have anything to do with it either this is just how it is so i know. i know but listen they won't win it just looks like they're winning. some of these straw it looks like they're winning but they're not. listen i'll call you back in a minute don't worry we'll talk soon. following the publication of her articles roams mafia family started making threats against federica she now lives under police protection. or i'm not

a secret to not giving up the fight against the mafia is to find the strength to be patient. if you can do that and you can put up with the bureaucracy of the justice system daniel managing not to lose your mind as. this building is secret. it's guarded by soldiers and police officers around the clock. this is where sicilian journalist paolo di lives he's published articles naming cecilia mafia bosses reporting extensively on their business activities and shedding light on their ties to politicians. going to the. head police protection since the twenty eighth of august twenty fourth teen oh you know so which was when i was attacked. any of these hoarded men had left me

more dead than alive and lying somewhere in the countryside. chat show moments when i spent months recovering at my parents' home you know working with my shoulder had been broken in three places and i couldn't move my arm. but i've changed in the night of the twenty second of august me. they also tried to set my home on fire then w n f won't work with him. in his articles paolo has said that many sicilians prefer to rely on the mafia than the state to solve various problems. but he my most recent investigations in paki know led to the arrest of a number of mafia bosses including an officer in the police force and thirteen which is where the famous tomatoes comforted me he said you know but you know that quite. so one

policeman working a case there no you didn't talk to his colleagues which would have been the obvious thing to do. what to the local mafia boss see that shouldn't be happening that's not right and this culture of organized crime is worse than the actual mafia days eleven years. after the our senator. back on his house paolo had no choice but to leave sicily and move to rome. after repeated attempts on his life and a number of death threats he now has the highest level of police protection available. he's accompanied by five police officers whenever he leaves his home including when he travels abroad.

for security reasons we can't show the faces of some of his bodyguards. paolo has been invited on a radio show to talk about his new book. welcome to audio out of voice thanks for having me back at me that i mean this is this is a mafia boss once said. a murder every now and then puts people's minds at ease. with that and you've been pegged as one of those murders. that's true is that

exactly luckily they didn't get you. that phrase a murder every now and then it appeared in the police recordings on the tenth of april aquino mafia plan to take me and my security detail out with a car bomb. it's also kind of like a metaphor or. because a murder now and then might go unnoticed. doesn't elicit public outrage. but journalists have to report on what they see that's their responsibility. so everybody needs to get involved get their hands dirty. we journalists have to ask questions keep researching and probing it's not enough to be a critical voice you have to decide which side you're on it. you've got it so you're sure you know that this guy.

has been controlled by organized crime syndicates for decades. geographically speaking austria is too important to be left to the states there's the airport the ports the coastline. exploiting the region the way the mafia does is lucrative. there are legal and illegal markets from tourism to drug dealing with. this clan has claimed the luxury villas along the beach and forced out the original residents either by violent means or in collusion with corrupt local authorities. federico anjali first made enemies of the new tory a spot a family in two thousand and thirteen when she was investigating a piece on property and restaurant licenses. that

we tracked them down to here we came with a camera team and went to this store. here thought this is the room. queen each and all they were here among those there was sitting on a chair to the left he blew smoke in my face and threatened me so i need sadness collishaw. he made a hand gesture and told me that the spotters are in control in austria and have everyone in the palm of their hand the police the corrupt and yeti the judges. and he said he told me he'd confiscate the camera and that he'd kill me if i didn't

give it up first me and then my children he turned to the other person in the room and said you know she has three children the youngest is very pretty she has blue eyes shall we start with her so that was a really tough moment for me if with all the momentum of the more. she managed to trick them and save the footage. federico was born and raised in austria despite the threats against her she and her family continue to live here. because it was a lawful tool nonetheless for one thing that was lucky was that my children were still very young when i was put under police protection so my husband and i were able to turn it into a game. we didn't want them to realize that people wanted their mother dead.

career. that's why i didn't do it i know that are. fed a lot of it and we told the children that there could have been yeah you were drivers the newspaper had given me as a reward for. in my work. whenever i was desperate in cried i'd try and hide my tears. she ended up going to hear. that they say. well if. china lots of people have advised us to leave austria and i live around the corner from the mafia boss. me thing is i believe that when you're fighting a war you can't leave the battlefield. the anxiety you feel breathing the same air

should be mutual. on the grounds of the villa borghese in rome paolo is shooting an exclusive interview with another high profile target of mafia death threats just separate bombino president of the osce promontory national park in calabria. on why are civil servants still willing to risk their lives in the style of a. group of. all of them because we can frighten the mafia with words and rules. that the bush. people mean no says that he and other civil servants are risking their lives by taking administrative action we journalists have

a duty to give them a platform to stand in front of them and to reach out to them so they know they are not alone. prophetical but. how low lives alone and keeps a low profile. the mafia could strike at any minute. paolo reviews the interview footage in the editing room and gets to work on his report on . this but even if i have given no voice

to people who didn't have one. or i'm going to stop there let's go to my question keep it in there. the west funky myside where they phrase their threats is almost literary they sent me a bomb and a message that read. for you were made from dust tend to dust you shall returns. if it's only one person speaking out against the mafia only one person condemning the down even if it's the president of an important national parks calling out illegal activity. then he stands alone. that's been the problem again and again because then you're an easy target. but if there are many journalists willing to

take a stand as well to condemn these criminals and speak out against them and if people can see with their own eyes what's going on but then there is hope that we could once again live in a world free of crime syndicates. back in austria. five days after the bomb explosions the police raid the homes of two leading members of the spot a clan in. the district that's been a mafia stronghold for decades. the mafia wives are livid with them and. they knew the whole thing is made up those idiot witnesses that behind it. maybe they laid the bombs themselves if not more so than.

what we deserve respect. to the criminal clans frederica's reporting is to blame for the raid. kind of like dogs let off the leash wounded animals no longer capable of rational thought join us they're reacting like a wild animal that knows it's trapped that it's got nothing to lose. he said it's come a kasi that it could make any gods at the most of us the film business came from an informer because you have the proof that. you need to be careful there really mad at you just your articles have made them very angry. you have to be much more careful than usual. their total scumbags. they wouldn't hesitate to

detonate a bomb under your window or use a member of your family to seek revenge. yes. that meaning i'm having a rough time i'm afraid for my children. i have nightmares the air feels thick you know that they've completely lost their minds so i need to be extra careful and i need to find out what they would do if they decide to strike. it out that i just one private citizen against the whole mafia. despite the numerous attempts on his life paolo still visit sicily regularly. this time he's on his way to pull out so our three are no seventy kilometers from palermo.

the entire town council had to step down when its ties to the mafia came to light. up a bit you can see here. traveling to sicily is always a major security undertaking. i recently received another death threat. they referred to a car bomb and even mentioned the place where it's supposed to happen. but i know that i have to keep doing my job. and that's what i'm doing. it's an extreme fear. it's a sense shivers down my spine but it means i'm always looking over my shoulder to check my voice my guardian angels are there. but i'll carry on regardless of

all the stuff to do. paolo's appearance here as a guest of honor is supposed to mark the return of a legitimate administration. but who's on which side. how low can never be sure. how low the banks palermo provinces head of the carbon yeti the carbon yeti are

italy's national police force. everything that they receive it says the security detail is great let the men are excellent if you please pass that on. that's good to hear and i will pass that on. i know your value. we can make it together. the police campaign against the mafia and austria has been dubbed operation upper jail. a week after the explosions in a nighttime sweep police seized property gas stations gambling bars and gyms belonging to the spot a clan and their accomplices assets worth some nineteen million euros.

but that doesn't mean federica can relax. the death of a key figure in the fight against rome's mafia families has shaken her deeply. judge similar to dollar sandra was found dead in her apartment reportedly of a stroke. she and federico were close friends. here she is my lovely friend. when it listen simonetti was the first judge to comprehend the reach of the roman mafia she completely supported my work on a legal level yet only then will do anything or will again i feel completely empty sent about my mistress so much and i mean i've gone over all the messages we've

sent each other the moments when i wept and said to her they'll win and they'll win i think and she said to me no they aren't going to win they won't. go. you know i don't she give me so much encouragement and strength who knows what this means this sudden death because i want improviser. it wasn't what will i do without her. that's what it takes so much staying power there's no end in sight i don't know if i should give up or carry on.

that you found. what brings a mayor together with a mafia boss. i'm talking about court i don't want. mayor of one of the most beautiful places in the world not the cradle of sicilian baroque. and a criminal who's been sentenced for mafia crimes and more it probably got any more today mafia boss val can i bear a girl who owns a number of businesses in the town was released by the police. paolo posts daily updates on the website last speech exposing the business people and politicians who are in cahoots with the sicilian mafia. a mafia in this part of sicily politicians and mafiosi were used to being criticized and they were able to

do their deals in plain sight because they knew that no one would write about it they're. talking to one another isn't a crime obviously and there's nothing illegal about the mayor simply talking to a mafia boss yourselves i made it out but you are responsible for who you talk to the same people that they have always said that in a problematic region such as sicily. feels he shouldn't be trusted and you can't go doing business with them if the public sees their own mayor talking to a mafia boss that senators tester is message. it will take the rest.
