11:15 am
mom and dad arrived in germany 2 years ago on loan from china and they had to to return that and that is just like the cops who would only stay in building for up to 4 years but that they would ever be released into the wild is unclear. watching d.w. news coming up next our documentary the future of europe the young visionary i'm sorry march and thanks for being with us for. a meal. from the brand new delusion on the gulf coast it's personal it's divisive to spread topics that affect us all. climate change the return of. only resist check out.
11:16 am
from the war evolved over. the last. 7 languages book is dangerous to think that we couldn't lose our freedom again but we need to remain vigilant if we don't it could be taken from us step by step approach to get out. and to smash the semitism racism center phobia whatever form hatred takes it has always existed and always will be it's up to us to decide to stop these processes it's our responsibility. obama's. no no i believe there are many ties that bind young europeans together for
11:17 am
the same we're fighting for a better united europe in which everyone has the same opportunities in they are not must go so black. blah blah blah blah. we don't remember it's makers integration. but new year new wave of activism across europe and that's going to give me hope.
11:18 am
didn't vote for me. you know what i used to take piece and what we value about europe for granted you're going to get more than ever i have a sense that it's actually something we young people need to fight for the title comes from listener. who caused the holocaust have you ever had this with the full. model just not. you've never had it before ok. i have bought our what a good mr god i was born to a jewish mother and a non jewish father just part of the nazis called people like him michel meaning a mixed race or half jews. that's why he wasn't deported 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 slave that was the event
11:19 am
what's your impression of god and if he reminds me of my granddad ok ok was that. john he looks wait. this out a little but i met. a guy who looks pretty old but he looks intelligent. i know that 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 mystic thus it's important that young people know what happened no one said that it never happens again. and it's not my pulse yet is this here it was much worse than a 100 lines to my mother used to tell me what happened one day i'll tell my own children about it because it's important to know my. vices from this show and i.
11:20 am
was a little but you find the current government has managed to instill a fear of immigrants and the general public the idea that we bring to xenu sometimes a transformational for all purposes a girlfriend turning people against one another and inciting fear by force that's the worst. just times i go to. her advice for you the most out of all your employees for your boss get what they call a go ok but i. touched base to show she was special just the toll we are placed up the toughest to change the developments are you hardly ever going to get out i
11:21 am
thank you i am going to sample that and yes that's about it we have a serious problem with nationalism is and the government accepts that we're seeing a growing number of attacks on the street and its people because of their background or sexual orientation as it's been allowed in texas it's well know it's a. lot about the fossil was the way to get them instructions like these patriotism has been used to stir up hatred against anyone who in matthew doesn't belong to that although at the most as it is an example of how poland's right wing is trying to control the political narrative yes focused others also there's a latent aggression and a sense that the situation could escalate at any 2nd self that's just that just as i'm getting out of here getting say this isn't the right place to try and find common ground just to get wasted there's no point in seeking a dialogue with this locked. it was himself.
11:22 am
along with us nothing a lot of young people in athens in greece grew up with the idea of a united europe social movement and only a europe that offers everyone equal. all opportunities. to misstate is go. overboard but now i wonder if that was a europe that never really existed at all. of the field when it was the port of heroes it's the biggest in the country and one of
11:23 am
the biggest in europe. just covered up when the 1st huge wave of refugees arrived in 2015 a reception center was set up here at the port mistook him on a day off. in solitude saw this scene and the sports are symbols of the journey so many people undertook to reach europe from turkey to come close and unfortunately also of the deaths of many people of the good news but many of them drowned when their boats capsized. this issue ation has improved but ultimately greece has been left alone to deal with a problem that's not in the food soon to speak european union has taken a step back because of the visual.
11:24 am
images and a little by go just to consider the figures we're talking about a 1000000 refugees who came to the e.u. which is home to 500000000 people. most of the gulf the old old old personally i see immigration more as an opportunity than a threat. when you believe in yourself that things need to change now and no one else is doing it and it's you responsibility to do it and in the worst situation you fell and you try again. i was 22 when we created which is upon us. before i could actually have a real voice in politics i could have waited an extremely long time if i joined
11:25 am
a traditional party really i could have but i think that there's a real edge and. when you look at global challenges like migration flows climate change fiscal justice we don't have a choice but to deal with those issues that you can. avoid the what actually means energy the unit of measure of energy we want to end it and part of it but most important is the same way that in every single language so you have. all behind the same name. you created both as a result. there was so many wrong things happening and we really for the confident was going the wrong direction you know the rise of my hand up in france in germany in the far right was also rising and it kind of came together and on
11:26 am
their foot ok let's create a european policy. and. so he starts its work on the idea and i was helping out and then we met damien who joined and we had to create a national party is to be able to run for elections but we're running on one program. europe's younger generation is waking up 70 percent of votes members have never been politically active the whole. day responding to populism with this. vision of a tolerant united iraqi volunteers pushing for greater solidarity among member states and an economy that seemed so environmentally sustainable was sex. i have 2 worlds a kind lighting here in the middle of warsaw where demonstrations of pro european
11:27 am
liberals and polish nationalists taking place side by side the police are out in force but they also are chains rarely crackdown on racist or anti semitic rallies i think so grassroots activists block far rights marches say that they're often penalized thanks. i think i was actually was that it's not that we can't express our opinion or demonstrate against the government but increasingly you then face consequences if you're shot and might be searched one morning or you might be arrested as a demonstration that's you for now the justice system is still in the pendant 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 coolpix is a worrying development goals are going to be on time and have fellow lawyers do pro bono welcome behalf of people who find themselves having to defend their basic
11:28 am
rights against the state. i think i just elements professional notch 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 stuff that's on them opposite so they are letting it was this foxy thank you very fulfilling work. helping is more gratifying than the moment in court when you hear the words together of course. the defendant on all charges. but i shall let them look at each other and feel very proud of ourselves let us know that our thoughts are. with the. ringback
11:29 am
dear mr potter we were very moved by your story. we were shocked by what you had to go through nowadays people are also discriminated against because the best skin color or their religion of. your story has taught us that we need to be more aware of these issues here. isn't starts of see we have might have the courage and strength the test for you to share your story with us. i'm also writing a book about my journey to germany and the difficulty if i had in my own country. if you're interested in reading my book you can have it sent to you by the high mark zuckerberg association. president bush's lean hard luck to read it. comes to moments in the us in the summer yes that's gosnell's. coffee. these are. that's him to me for humorous posts and i'm always very touched by these
11:30 am
letters this year in new york we're going to. this generation is growing up and i hope that when they start playing a responsible role in society they'll improve it. and the filmmakers are diverse and welcoming society is a society that truly values human dignity that's. me gershon. each candidate so i remember a time when no one would listen to us and our voice. this is were silenced. since. we're the last of this generation. listener to her spare right sides we need to realize what that means it is and rise to the task. like the concentration camps themselves
11:31 am
we the survivors are the last witnesses to what happened there and we need to think around i will remember it even when there are no eyewitnesses left sargon are scum . i think mothers democracy as many layers especially nothing serious nowadays. if i look at the morrissey from the land so journalism i think democracy is under threat media in greece are not independent nowadays. with the media began during the financial crisis. the guard. many
11:32 am
jobs were cut and many journalists were forced out because they didn't comply with the agendas of their new bosses when i'm at dawson fertile. soteris was one of the generalists who didn't comply in 2015 he launched an english language website about life in greece in the wake of the financial crisis athens life the nonprofit project is part of an international network of independent media the refugee crisis began shortly after its launch. visited the refugee camps to report on the situation. so that 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. you.
11:33 am
see them in this stupid to feel that when you're in the refugee camps there was a group of 15 young women from afghanistan. a political force in the media counts of their story. still so they decided to become journalists themselves and give the refugees an authentic voice. so it was the 1st move very just enough that they said that. after. the 1st in the newspaper. the men off they come came to our son said how they read. and just. for us. and. i think it's was the. us. because we are very well to change the mind of afghan men about how.
11:34 am
we chose to name our. bets on to list the. week with fly through the. with spain you lied to me. nombre was votes candidate in from. 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
11:35 am
a single ballot francis 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 the european elections it's amounted to approximately close to 1000000 euros which for a new political party is almost impossible and this is added the fact that we couldn't open a bank account for a very long time because the financing those put it but if your questions 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 compete. it's extremely difficult to accept that because of some reading 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
11:36 am
you know nothing that i think because you can convince people is one thing being stopped by you your own country and this is the main place from being able to represent others and from being able to partake in society is heartbreaking. colombe 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 planned to run for election in italy. but to a new party. he has little hope of getting anywhere. do you believe that it would be a logistical nightmare was to run across europe because you have different ecosystems and the systems to run for election and it is the case that we can run in a countries but we can't run in many others. involved.
11:37 am
the father of my grandfathers and grandmothers or people come with me here would not even be able to finish in room after the 2nd world war and now we are. brothers we could never meet in a war on these on this continent is something that only brought us and that we should 1st serve in the pool. i don't believe in you because it's you but i think it's just the best solution we have. this is an amazing project the. need to make sure you. know me 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 to put on a mean if they're going to turn to such extreme put it it's because one they feel
11:38 am
a bit like this any other chinese. 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 people struggle for their lives. and i have prayed for the security it's not a peaceful society. beyond time is also campaigning for a fairer society she what some behalf of victims of the housing crisis. a little in the bush stoked up i hear it needs more social justice there's a housing crisis across europe we need a europe wide mass movement calling for a right to housing it would benefit everyone. just what they believe is 80 she's
11:39 am
lived in this apartment for over 70 years now she's been given notice. that i must get out of it so i go down with almost all of the renters have had to move out of that and i'm one of the last who's left that i'm continuing to fight the landlord is doing everything in its power to force me out on me and 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. year. but it would miss the crunch gets very hard to protect someone against a forced eviction nor an extreme rent times like this or the law isn't really on the side of renters were fighting for the right to housing to be recognized as a human right the author was devoted.
11:40 am
to that jury and you heard this in the piece we know is there usually go on picnics with the economy it seems but we've known one another while now and since they were the 1st renters i represented i remember how nervous and stressed i was for us but that's never support it bonded us we've come a long way since then that's one of those but we've stayed friends in the. tempo months that ideology has helped was invaluable and without her support i would have slipped into debt and even move back to judy some people have said. 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 imagine. what. decision where. is the public that working with elderly people and with people who have no money keeps me grounded when you see social inequality firsthand don't see the desperation you motivated to keep up the fight to cricinfo up.
11:41 am
on saturdays so serious meets up with a young journalist outside the refugee camp together they planned the next edition of the newspaper. then the home of the word out to craft a brilliant articles and won a pulitzer prize it's about young people coming together and learning how to express themselves whom one. guy's this is all maher with us talk about iraq because. i'm from new york i'm 17 you're still not for me you're all. welcome to go through the 4 hours that's talking about is the 1st 2 lines this is no one got by this the 3rd group so that's my goal. in. letting our newspaper brings together different nationalities and religions
11:42 am
almost all have a look a project like this would never be possible in the countries we come from. because of racism and religious differences. it was known that one should. go to welcome everybody this is another show of the record on the lie on. go through. with the newspaper project the young refugees have also started a podcast i. share 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 are you walking this year and he said no i cannot because i mean granted we have don't have the right toward an election in european elections so what we should do as a shy thing for their integration into their new society.
11:43 am
my family 1st arrived in germany people gave us so much help my parents were clear list they couldn't speak the language they didn't know they had to register or where they had to go to do so i remember in elementary school teacher who was just amazing she knew that my family and i had come from russia i never felt like an outsider and that's what i'd like it to be for people today. and if rejection and feel the 1st things you encounter then things aren't going to go well. for them hired me out on the back 6 months ago or maybe a bit longer i was in the metro with my friend anna and a group of men i got in and my mom i'm one of them had
11:44 am
a bottle of beer yams and i think tipped it over some guy's head and insulted him in a racist way systems 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 with that no one else got involved. and it made me very sad that the guy had to go through that and just shrugged it off in a resigned way as if just say. you know this kind of thing happens to me every day when i don't want to. give me. something other times something. i'm going to smile with any gestures of support from other students when neighbors call anyone at all. hard not to do no one help.
11:45 am
notice no one helped and we have become social outcasts. does are all 4 as you hear from europe we envisioned in 1900 tribal is a different one it was a europe that would grow together unify. here. i won't i don't worry. but i also have faith that today's younger generation will try just as we do for the studios to shape a better world. but so in that sense. i am optimistic about the future of europe and the goal should. be for the time being is unable to vote in her own country for the party she co-founded. in france votes remains a distant dream. but none of the established parties give the
11:46 am
says she's looking for. it's day calling michael. she couldn't is one micron started out my 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 there's no question he better and that is but one of the reasons i was drawn to the idea of front is this because when i saw happening was a kind of populism even though his populism share some of my values was difficult but it's incomplete you just. don't have those who came out as a possible way that i confident that today one of us will win a seat in the european parliament whether in germany i don't carry or elsewhere at the end of the day that's all that matters because i had hoped that we could stand
11:47 am
in france and italy defense are inevitable i will run next time. hi everyone i just voted in the european elections you can actually vote who votes in 8 countries so make sure that you go out and you have a good day. up or to. have them come past and which in the same day you get to that's not a country some still beat you. on this journey you have a particular point sort of stuff if you possibly can be put in a channel. and you see yourself why is it. that change is something that you don't expect to see in here you know all this madness to.
11:48 am
historical events or history doesn't repeat itself in exactly the same way but human nature is what it is man. 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 3 long as it's true they. also feel in light of the stars our lives we hope that so many people from all over
11:49 am
the world gather here for the annual march of the living and have been doing so for about 3 decades every day and that's my passion it ensures that history is remembered and the stories will never be forgotten giving it. a spin too much to hear and i'm very touched by the students and the one of them pointed out that the science people are carrying on like gravestones for people who were denied them even if you had. poor. i feel this can help survivors a lot of history it's a good game knowing that young people are interested in them in their story and what they went through hard.
11:50 am
as they have but as actually out there 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 with me and. even without the pilot 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 well the more we boost the end of content media the better it is for democracy then you can you give him about the moms. feel.
11:51 am
for them that they don't 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 what i would do if this is the only newspaper by and for refugees you can buy in greece i'm very happy that one of the. listening minutes made paper gives a voice to people who haven't been heard so far. with this project we're helping change the public's view of refugees for the better we get mail from readers who say that the newspaper has even made them reflect on their own lives of goodness maybe. they may have to do that on some days i feel very tired but it's like i feel like what i'm doing with
11:52 am
my activism goes far beyond the call of duty in the bottom line 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 . that is. i think there is. a. muslim terrorism i want my country poland to respect human rights and our poled the rule of law i fight for these principles in the courts. on the. weekends but how would you demonstrate my client was filmed at an anti-government demonstration bipolar state t.v. and described on a news show as a common problem. when demanding an apology from the t.v.
11:53 am
station and we want to show that the t.v. report was manipulated. to go through this. the 1st time that an ordinary citizen is bringing an action against the state t.v. station t.v. peak and not the other way round this is my biggest case so far and it's a landmark case for society. most but my guess it's very challenging but i feel good about it like i feel i'm defending european values and contributing to something important that the spikes it does but it says i'm fighting for a more democratic society that up holds the rule of law but to the markets that budget provisions that. it will give us for example i love my job i love sorting out the final details the night before quarter parents the adrenaline on the day that. especially when it's a case that has broader social relevance. i guess i get very invested in the whole
11:54 am
thing interest what is it with and we aren't. 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 just like. in the end the hearing is adjourned and not for the 1st time the case is put on hold for 6 months. but they have a look at the macwhich a different side on to a group of lawyers currently working on the many many cases if you've got a little 40 percent of our cases a program at the problem or we represent people with no money who are fighting what we see as an important case. there aren't any lawyers and poland's doing what we do here. but the girl i know some of my colleagues laugh at me but i don't care what
11:55 am
matters to me is what i see results and see where there's more even in my client gets to stay in their apartment a refugee is granted papers to stay in poland i want my work can improve people's lives. i try to make sure they get there. and can sleep at night and then once but some are going to. move. their gardens 1st projections it looks like i'm in i mean you can go. so dreadfully yet but it looks good really good thanks to you. and now. you guys. know me. well 2 years ago we were making quilts we had 0 idea how politics actually went. 2 years in and this is why i've been betting intensive the entire day i'm
11:56 am
so proud of what we have it seems. we campaign again countries we managed to do well but it's a gun fight as we have almost $40000.00 volunteers so how did the title that we are going to be like him once and i just. thank. the sea because this is an amazing success for volt in germany and an amazing success for european democracy that's this image shows that in just over 2 years we managed to rally together people across the continent imagine with a positive democratic vision and a shared program. with an opposing them codfish enough east.
11:57 am
showed that we can do it we are capable of getting elected. new groove evidence based policy has been fought using populist discourse and and we gave that would have changing the political landscape. that by the time. i mean everyone has the world's main parties and. boards make sure who deep into the society it doesn't they said you have to be in office that many ways to live. but i think the time to sit back and hold that all this will do it. and everyone has a response i mean keep going we'll get the campaign if we don't do anything to take is to lead.
