7:16 am
from the rewards were bigger than the fall guy ultimately come the ask the tough. the wal-mart. the selling they go shares the book is dangerous to think that we couldn't lose our freedom again we need to remain vigilant and if we don't it could be taken from us step by step come across the get on. the. internet as manti semitism and racism send a phobia whatever form hatred takes it has always existed and always will yes it is up to us to decide to stop these processes it's our responsibility. in a. health bill. i believe there are many ties that bind young europeans together for the same
7:17 am
because we're fighting for a better united europe in which everyone has the same opportunities in may i'm not muslim so the gun. law blah blah blah blah. we're going to underestimate our generation. but we see a new wave of activism across europe and that's going to give me hope.
7:18 am
didn't vote for me but i just must be you know i used to take peace and what we value about europe for granted if you were to get more than ever i have a sense that it's actually something we young people need to fight for the tide comes to listen. to me. who caused the holocaust have you ever had this with before. nicht model just not. you have never had it before ok. have bought our water good mr bad i was born to a jewish mother and a non jewish father part of the nazis called people like him misha meaning mixed race or half jews. that's why he wasn't a quarter to a concentration camp straight away like many others and managed to survive on top so once you are going to protect what he had to do for slay that was the event
7:19 am
what's your impression of god he reminds me of my granddad ok yeah ok was that you smile that he looks wait. was part. yeah that's pretty old but it looks intelligent. i know jewish people weren't allowed to do certain things i thought everyone from back then was dead but they're not there that's what i learned today. i was just i thought. this is a mistake thus it's important that young people know what happened no one said that it never happens again. my pulse yet is this here it was much worse than a 100 lines to what my mother used to tell me what happened one day i'll tell my own children about it it's because it's important to know i have a loud symbiosis from this for that i. look at
7:20 am
least. implicitly sleep. was up to all but sneers i'm using the current government has managed to instill a fear of immigrants and the general public the idea that we bring to xeno's and pose a threat for national office was a garage right now turning people against one another and inciting fear like of course that's the worst of. this terms. but i got a shock. when you've almost got all your love for your boss get the money. i. was pure bullshit we are at least i was getting all get it all but it's up to you harvey you're going to keep it up. i think.
7:21 am
it's going to simple right and yes that's about it we have a serious problem with nationalism and the government except that the little rock we're seeing a growing number of attacks on the streets he kind of people because of their background or sexual orientation as it's been out in texas it's one will know where it's a. tough one because i saw him was deployed just as i am instructions like these patron. it is and has been used to stir up hatred against anyone who in matthew doesn't belong to that although the most certainly is an example of how poland's right wing is trying to control the political narrative yes locust dogs also there's a nation's aggression and i sense that the situation could escalate at any 2nd over the fact that this is the i'm getting out of here. this isn't the right place to try and find common ground is to give it there's no point in seeking a dialogue with this lot. it was never sell.
7:22 am
to. us just nothing a lot of young people in athens in greece grew up with the idea of a united europe social movement and a europe that offers everyone equal opportunities but open misstate is go into. all the board but now i wonder if that was a europe that never really existed in the global loop. of the women this is the part of the rails it's the biggest in the country and one
7:23 am
of the biggest in europe. just because the when the 1st huge wave of refugees arrived in 2015 a reception center was set up here at the port come mrs lamont hill. insults out to sea and this ports are symbols of the journey so many people undertook to reach europe from turkey on up toward the complete shell unfortunately also of the deaths of many people of the stupid. but many of them drowned when their boats capsized. the situation has improved but ultimately greece has been left alone to deal with the problem and it's not looking to soon to speak european union has taken a step back but because of the visual clues. leading
7:24 am
to some of the political it just to consider the figures we're talking about a 1000000 refugees who came to the e.u. which is home to 500000000 people. because they know it all all personally i see immigration more as an opportunity than a threat. when you believe deeply in yourself that things need to change now and no one else is doing it and it's too responsibility to do it and in the worst situation you fell and you try again. i was 22 when we created which is the plan you can put it. before i could actually have a real voice in politics i could have waited i think if i joined the traditional
7:25 am
wasik really i could have waited but i think that there's a will i didn't see. when you look at the global challenges like migration flows climate change fiscal justice we don't have a choice but to deal with those issues that's what you can. vote though whether it actually means energy the unit of measure of energy we want to end it and by fix but not. important is the same word in every single language and see how both are about what transpired germany will bugeye all behind the same . thank you thank you to both as a result. 6 there was so many wrong things happening and we really for the confident was going the wrong direction you know the rise of my hang up in france in germany the far right was also rising and it kind of came together and on their
7:26 am
part ok let's create a new pin party. because she. was so he started to work on the idea for a bit and i was helping out and then we met damian who joins. we had to create a national party is to be able to run for elections but we're running on one program. for all. of europe's younger generation is waking up 70 percent of both members have never been politically active to school. they're responding to populism with a vision of a tolerant to 90 year old she's pushing for greater solidarity among the states and an economy that seems so environmentally sustainable it was thank you. i. have 2 worlds a kind lighting here in the middle of walsall where demonstrations of pro european
7:27 am
liberals and polish nationalists are taking place side by side the police are out in force but the also reaching israeli crackdown on racist orencia semitic ronnie's . so grassroots activists block far rights marches so that they're often penalized thank you thank you. oh she. was. i there's actually what happened it's not that we can't express our opinion or demonstrate against the government but increasingly then face consequences you're so hot and might be searched one morning or we might be arrested as a demonstration but i think for now the justice system is still independent and we're fighting a legal battle to protect our rights but even the fact that this fight is necessary and we have to take it to the cool this is a worrying development that goes beyond china and her fellow lawyers do pro bono
7:28 am
work on behalf of people who find themselves having to defend their basic rights against the state. i think. i just said i meant the vision this is about the role of law and you know as lawyers we help ensure there's a fair relationship between the powerful state and ordinary citizens who suddenly find themselves facing a court battle that study upsets and then opposite to they are let the facts their disputes are very fulfilling work. nothing is more gratifying than the moment in court when you hear the words get a court acquits the defendant on all charges yeah i'll just go over to the hotel and so then we look at each other and feel very proud of ourselves for this but there are such a list like this isn't that. what this is. again
7:29 am
dear mr potter we were very moved by your story sounded zits as we were shocked by what you had to go through nowadays people are also discriminated against because of their skin color or their religion of the year a gift to them your story has taught us that we need to be more aware of these issues here. isn't start of see we have my i have the courage and strength the tech for you to share your story with us not all the time i'm also writing a book about my journey to. gemini and the difficulties i had in my own country. if you're interested in reading my book you can have it sent to you by the high much sooner so see a. new president bush's lame are glad to read it. in the us and if so yes that's gosnell's stuff how awful. is it. becomes is a belief firmly hirose a person and there are always very touched by these letters this year to your
7:30 am
ignorance your own harley that this generation is growing up and i hope that when they start playing a responsible role in society improve it would be said so often the state does not make it a diverse and welcoming society it's a society that truly values human dignity its. they have actually got stuck. in the. back seat i thought of. the candidate some remember a time where no one would listen to us and our voices were silenced and kind. of could be another of. the missing thing that we're the last of this generation. missing or the house better outside we need to realize what that means and rise to the task. lacka like the
7:31 am
concentration camps themselves we the survivors are the last witnesses to what happened there that we need to think about and i will remember it even when there are no eyewitnesses left so i guess i was coming. i think mothers democracy as many layers especially nothing serious nowadays. the fight a look at the most receipt from the land sold journalism i think democracy is under threat media in greece are not independent nowadays. people media both the romulans with the media began during the financial crisis and the guard compatible luckily my many jobs were cut up with
7:32 am
a list and many journalists were forced out because they didn't comply with the agendas of their new bosses when i'm at dawson fertile or to go to. soteris was one of the journalists who didn't comply in 2015 he launched an english language website about life in greece in the wake of the financial crisis athens live the nonprofit project is part of an international network of independent media the refugee crisis began shortly after its launch. so terrorists visited the refugee camps to report on the situation. a little around the time the 1st big wave of refugees arrived in 26 team journalists had relatively easy access to the refugee centers it wasn't hard to get in to interview the people there.
7:33 am
so that. the field during the refugee camp there was a group of 15 young women from afghanistan. felt the media accounts of their story. still so they decided to become journalists themselves and give the refugees an authentic voice. so busy at the 1st move very just enough they said that's one month. after. the 1st. demand off they come came to our son said how proud they were. and just. for us. and. i think it was the. us. because we were able to change their mind about.
7:34 am
us to name our new space. until we believe we could fly it would be. with a spanking if they lied to me. votes candidate in france. but her dream of securing a seat in the european parliament never got off the ground. she blames the french political systems complicated administrative rules. when you vote in germany and in almost every european country you do this on
7:35 am
a single ballot trances difference you have one ballot per party and this means that parties are responsible for printing their own ballots in the 1st place and. the parties so to print better for your connections it's amounted to approximately 1000000 euros which for a new political party is almost impossible and to this is the fact that we couldn't open a bank account for a very long time because the financing let's put it puts requests the solutions are so strict that every bank refused so we couldn't open a bank account so we couldn't collect money to print ballots which meant that we couldn't run over your computer. it's extremely difficult to accept that because of some really messed up rules and the lack of democratic will from the government you have to stop so it was for me it was heartbreaking to have to start this way you
7:36 am
know not doing it i think because you can convince people it's one thing being stopped by you your own country and this is the main place from being able to represent others and from me able to partake in society is heart breaking. remains undeterred she's continuing to work on behalf of votes in other european countries in london she's campaigning for andrei events on who had initially plans to run for election in italy. but to a new party. she has little hope of getting anywhere. near that it would be a logistical nightmare to run across europe because you have different legal systems and the systems to run for election and it is the case we can run in countries but we can't run in many others.
7:37 am
the father of my grandfathers and grandfathers or people coming with me here we don't even be able to stay in the same room after the civil war and now we feel like brothers we can never meet you know war on these men is something that only brought us and that we should 1st serve an up or not. i don't believe you because it's you but i think it's just the best solution we have. this is an amazing project that generations need to make sure we. meet from the moment people nationalist movements are right sponsor there's a reason for it i don't agree with it but this commute reason puts people on the dump put on the i mean if they're going to such extreme put it it's because one
7:38 am
they feel a bit like this. when you have a part of the nation that is suffering from hunger that doesn't have access to housing. that's not a peaceful society. and i have prayed for the security it's not a peaceful society. belltown is also campaigning for a fairer society she worked some behalf of victims of the housing crisis. a lot of people in a poor start up here it needs more social justice 1st there's a housing crisis across europe we need a europe wide mass movement calling for a right to housing it was benefit everyone. knows what. it is 80 she's
7:39 am
lived in this apartment for the 70 years now she's been given notice. whether they're true. but added almost all of the renters have had to move out already that i'm one of the last has left that i'm continuing to fight the landlord is doing everything in its power to force me out. on them i've been intimidated i've had nasty phone calls in the middle of the night that all i could hear were strange noises as if someone was telling me i would be hung out to dry that. but it's at least french it's very hard to protect someone against a forced evictions nor an extreme runtime comes through the law isn't really on the side of renters it's worth fighting for the right to housing to be recognised as a human right the wish to give our children.
7:40 am
that dream you've heard this in the past 3 lawyers don't usually go on picnics with their car it's yours but we've known one another while now none of them says they were the 1st renters i represented i remember how nervous and stressed i was for us but that's never separate it bonded us we've come a long way since then but we've stayed friends. teppo most of the audience has helped was invaluable without her support i would have slipped into debt going to be the drew back to school days as some people had stuff. heart attacks because of the stress if we didn't have to be out and working for us for free we have all ended up sleeping under bridges in the magic. position where. possible because i'm working with elderly people i'm with people who have no money keeps me grounded stuff when you see social inequality firsthand don't see the desperation you motivated to keep up the fight within the uk.
7:41 am
on saturdays so serious meets up with a young generalist outside the refugee camp together they plan the next edition of the newspaper. then the whole must know we're not out to craft brilliant articles and win a pulitzer prize it's about young people coming together and learning how to express themselves whom one big. guys this is all modern with us talk about there are good you. are from your i'm 17 you're the oldest i see me through all. your articles called for 4 hours it's talking about is the 1st one says you know when you got back by the thirds of the group so that's my little. has no back up while letting our newspapers brings together different nationalities and religions almost all have
7:42 am
a project like this would never be possible in the countries i come from. because of racism and religious differences. it was not wanting to. go to welcome everybody this is another show of the radio down the line. go through along with the newspaper project the young refugees have also started a podcast i. should know in it they explore questions such as. what does democracy actually mean. people are living here since 15 years 20 years i think 30 years but i asked one of the persons that are you walking this year and he said no i cannot because i mean we're going to do it we have don't have the right toward an election in european elections so what we should do as a shy thing for the rings or bring them into their new society is.
7:43 am
i did not start with my family 1st arrived in germany people gave us so much help my parents were clearly they couldn't speak the language they didn't know they have to register or where they had to go to do so i remember in elementary school teacher who was just amazing to me that my family and i had come from russia i never felt like an outsider and that's how i'd like it to be for people today. and if they are if rejection and feel the 1st things you encounter then things aren't going to go well. this was a fun hired me out on the back 6 months ago or maybe a bit longer and i was in the metro with my friend anna and a group of men i got in and i know i'm not one of them had
7:44 am
a bottle of beer so yes i'd like to put it over some guy's head and insulted him in a racist way assistance but i just. thought it was very aggressive and i just instinctively stood up and challenge him. on the bank the 2 things that bothered me most were that no one else got involved. and it may be very sad that the guy had to go through that and just shrugged it off in a resigned way as if to say. you know this kind of thing happens to me every day when i don't want to subscribe to me i'm tired. of my. smile with any gestures of support from other students when neighbors call anyone at all. and phone me go hard not to no one help
7:45 am
. notice no one helped we have become social outcasts. does are all 4 as you're from europe we envisioned in 1905 was a different one it was a europe that would grow together unify us. i was i don't worry. but i also have faith that today's younger generation will try just as we do the studios to shape a better world. but so in that sense. i am optimistic about the future of europe and of course. for. me. for the time being is unable to vote in her own country for the party she cofounded . in france votes remains
7:46 am
a distant dream. but none of the established parties give the own says she's looking full. as it is today called. india's one mccrone started out like hope that he would present a new political vision. pretty soon as i soon realized he didn't have a political program and suitable to question me better and that's why one of the reasons i was drawn to the idea of it when i saw happening was a kind of populism even though his populism share some of my values but it's incomplete you just. don't have those who do ok i was a possible way to have confidence that today one of us will have a seat in the european parliament whether in germany bulgaria or elsewhere at the end of the day that's all that matters because i would hope that we could stand in
7:47 am
france and italy defense are inevitable will run next time. hi everyone i just voted in the ukraine elections you can actually vote for goods in 8 countries so make sure that you go out and you would have a good day. to have more to. have them come past which initially but now you get to that's not a tree so you still beat him. on his journey you have a particular style points out of stuff that you passed today and he put a channel. and you see it so why hasn't. the train which is something that you don't expect to see here you know what it means to.
7:48 am
historical events or history doesn't repeat itself in exactly the same way but human nature is what it is then. it won't be long before the last holocaust survivors have died. samia believes that makes memorial sites all the more important they document the atrocities committed by the nazis. on the annual walk from auschwitz to birkenau thousands remember the dead and pay their respects to the survivors. i survived for 360 days. that's ok largest reserves alive so we hope that so many people from all over the
7:49 am
world gather here for the annual march of the living and have been doing so for about 3 decades. that's mustache on it ensures that history is remembered and the stories will never be forgotten i. think. it's been too much to hear and i'm very touched by the students and the one of them pointed out that the signs people are carrying are like gravestones for people who were denied them even if you had to be. born and i feel this can help survivors a lot of us feel so good good knowing that young people are interested in them in their story and what they went through right.
7:50 am
now they have battled back to mr vargas said that he hopes our generation will fight for a society that respects the dignity of all and welcomes everyone. the message i'm getting today is that i will write from him the name. even without the i'll tell you what right now democracy is in crisis so it's all the more important that we journalists support independent projects such as migratory birds and our nonprofit website the more we boost the entertainment media the better it is for democracy you can you give him about the imus. deal.
7:51 am
but i mean that i'm pretty excited. we've been working towards this for 2 months. in the finally i get to pick up a new copy of our newspaper. then when i get this is the only newspaper by and for refugees you can buy in greece i'm very happy that it's not about you know. listening and then if maybe paper gives a voice to people who haven't been hurt so far. with this project we're helping change the public's view of refugees for the better and we get mail from readers who say that the newspaper has even made them reflect on their own lives of people have made it up. they now do this on some days i feel very tired. i feel like what i'm doing with my activism
7:52 am
goes far beyond the call of duty. and i think wow it's a lot of work but at the end of the day it's very gratifying it's the 1st line. ever like here. i think. that's. a. but isn't so as i want my country poland to respect human rights and up hold the rule of law i fight for these principles in the courts silence on the. weekends but how would you know the ones that my client has filmed that an anti-government demonstration by polish state t.v. and described on a new show as a common provocateur where demanding an apology from the t.v.
7:53 am
station and we want to show that the t.v. report was manipulated on. the go through to his peers this is the 1st time that an ordinary citizen is bringing an action against the state t.v. station to me and not the other way round this is my biggest case so far and it's a landmark case for society like i was but my guess is very challenging but i feel good about it like it was negative i feel i'm defending european values and contributing to something important is that it's like if there's bleachers i'm fighting for a more democratic society that up holds the rule of law as well but if the look at the church that budget was wrong that. it will give us for example i love my job i love sorting out the final details the night before a court appearance the adrenaline on the day. especially when it's a case that has broader social relevance. i get very invested in the whole thing in
7:54 am
that has reached the what is it with a very young. in court spatter describes how her client has suffered both personally and professionally because of the t.v. report. he's had to switch jobs and he feels he's been publicly shamed as to why. in the end the hearing is adjourned and not for the 1st time. the case is put on hold for 6 months. but look at from a condition side and on to a group of lawyers currently working on the many many cases if that's the full 40 percent of our cases a program that's a problem we represent people with no money who are finding what we see as no point in case. there are any lawyers in poland's doing what we do. but the line is some of my colleagues laugh at me but i don't care what matters to me is what i see
7:55 am
results say where there's more if of me my client gets to stay in their apartment a refugee is granted paid has to stay in poland was my work can improve people's lives. i try to make sure they get there. and can sleep at night but i don't want spots not going to. be. looking at. basically their gardens 1st projections of drugs like i mean i mean. so bread for the budget looks good really good thanks to you drew. now. you. told me it. was 2 years ago we created books we had 0 idea how politics actually went. 2 years in and this is why been back it's if the entire day i'm
7:56 am
so proud of what we have achieved. we can maintain countries we managed to built well but it's going to take as we have almost $40000.00 volunteers so obviously i hope that we are going to be like that once and i think. the. way. no i. was asleep because this is an amazing success for volz in germany and an amazing success for european democracy exactly this image shows that in just over 2 years we managed to rally together people across the continent minds with a positive democratic vision and a shared program is the photo with an opposing t.v.
7:57 am
in them kardashian nothing. that we can do that we are capable of getting elected to prove evidence based policies we thought using puppets discourse and and we gave it would have changing the political landscape one small step at a time. i think anyone has a world of pain in politics and and in society as a whole to make sure the people of the society it doesn't this that you have to be in office that many ways to laugh at but i think the time to sit back and hope that all this will do with class. and everyone has a response to me and we'll get a campaign if we don't do anything is to eat meat.
