hear what she did up news live from len coming up next a d.-w. don't film looks at the threat to peace in the shed values of european unification and meets the young europeans fighting to make sure that history does not repeat itself stay tuned for that if you can't and remember you can get all that ice headlines around the clock on our website as. the brand new delusion. device broke totally still such as. the return of. the recent check out.

from the rewards. book it's 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. get out. of matilda's mentee semitism racism xenophobia whatever form hatred takes it has always existed and always will be and it's up to us to decide to stop these processes it's our responsibility. spoken so. no no i believe there are many ties that bind young europeans together

to see if we're fighting for a better united europe in which everyone has the same opportunities in they i'm not must go so. la la. we're going to underestimate there's a new reason. but we see a new wave of activism of myself and that's going to give me hope.

didn't vote for me what i've done you know what i used to take piece and what i value about europe for granted you get more than ever i have a sense that it's actually something we young people need to fight for the title comes from listening. to me. who caused the holocaust have you ever heard this with before. nick tomorrow just not. you have never heard it before ok. i have bought our water good mr bad i was born to a jewish mother and a non jewish father just part of the nazis called people like him missionary meaning mixed race or half jews he was that's why he wasn't to cause it 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 life most of the event

what's your impression of god he reminds me of my granddad ok yeah ok was that the smile that he looks wait. this out but i mean. you know it's pretty old but he looks intelligent. i know the jewish people won't allow him 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. this is a mistake that it's important that young people know what happened no one said that it never happens again. this is not my posture 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 from that i.

was up to all but there's going to be the current government has managed to instill a fear of immigrants and the general public the idea that he's going to xeno's and pose a threat for national for all purposes a closure and have turning people against one another and inciting fear like that's the worst of. this terms why go to. by phone you know most of the u.r.l.'s for your boss get what they call it up thank you but if i cut the pay structure which was such a bullshit that they will replace stuff such as getting all the ballots are you hardly ever going to be done i think

i. couldn't it's not correct and yes that's a that 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 of people because of their background or sexual orientation as it's been noted that it's one on our it's a. tough love is the cause of most of it just as i am instructions like these patriotism has been used to stir up hatred against anyone who in matthew doesn't belong to at all though the most artist is an example of how poland's right wing is trying to control the political narrative yes locust of this also there's a latent aggression and i sense that the situation could escalate at any 2nd so that's just that's just as i'm getting out of here. as a this isn't the right place to try and find common ground to stick with every said there's no point in seeking a dialogue with this last bit but as members self. along

with us still nothing a lot of young people in athens and greece grew up with the idea of a united europe social movement and only a europe that offers everyone equal. all opportunities that open misfit is go. overboard but now i wonder if that was a europe that never really existed to open. up the field and women oh this is the part of heroes it's the biggest in the country

and one of the biggest in europe. has come to when the 1st huge wave of refugees arrived in 2015 a reception center was set up here at the port misses them on the way up. this fall to solve this sea and this ports are symbols of the journey so many people undertook to reach europe from turkey to compose and unfortunately also of the deaths of many people off the ship is what many of them drowned when their boats capsized. this issue ation has improved but ultimately greece has been left alone to deal with the problem in a couple of months not the do so to speak european union has taken a step back but because of the visual.

pollution of the bike low just to consider the figures we're talking about a 1000000 refugees who came to the e.u. which is home to 500000000 people. mostly because they owe it all all 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 $22.00 when we created which is the plan. before i could actually have a real voice in politics i could have waited an extremely long time if i joined

a traditional party really i could have but i think that this is religion see. 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. both know what it actually means energy the unit of measure of energy we want to and i drive and part of fix but most importantly it's the same way that you know every single night when you see how awful it. all behind the same name. you created gold as a result. there was so many wrong things happening and we really foots the continent was going the wrong direction you know the rise of my hand up in france in germany the far right was also rising and it kind of came together and on there

put ok let's create you. and me. so he started to work on the idea for a bit and i was helping out and then we had a man who joins and we had to create a national parties to be able to run for elections but we were running on one program. europe's younger generation is waking up 70 percent of votes members have never been politically active before. they're responding to populism with this. vision of a tolerant united iraq votes he's pushing for greater solidarity among the states and an economy that seems so environmentally sustainable the sex. i too well to come lighting here in the middle of warsaw where demonstrations of pro european 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 to that they're often penalized thanks sam i think i was i was actually it was a 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 you might be arrested as a demonstration that's you 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 go beyond china and how fellow lawyers do pro bono work

on behalf of people who find themselves having to defend their basic rights against the state. i think. i just said i meant several notches 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's that if that sounds an opposite to they are letting the facts thank you very fulfilling work. that kidnapping is more gratifying than the moment in court when you hear the words sick yes of course. it's the defendant on all charges it's just a hotel it's a game we look at each other and feel very proud of ourselves but there are those here there's another.

zagat 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 of best skin color or their religion. your story has taught us that we need to be more aware of these issues your team is in starts off so we have my of the courage and strength attack 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 in new jersey where shoes lean hard like to read it in . the home of the number in the us and if so yes that's gosnell's tough how often. is it. that's is it for me for my heroes. i'm always very touched by these letters this year do you

regret. this generation is growing up and i hope that when they start playing a responsible role in society they'll improve it. and go to make it a diverse and welcoming society is a society that truly values human dignity that's. the reversal that we got stuck. to see. the candidate some remember a time where no one would listen to us and our boys. as were silenced. most of. the seeds. were the last of this generation. to house better rights we need to realize what that means and rise to the task. now arca like the concentration camps themselves we the

survivors are the last witnesses to what happened there and we need to think a lot and i will remember it when there are no eyewitnesses left sargon are scum and. i think mothers democracy as many layers especially now consumerist nowadays. if i look at the movie received from the land sold journalism i think democracy is under threat media in greece are not independent nowadays. with the media began during the financial crisis. as the guard. many

jobs were cut and many journalists were forced out because they didn't comply with the agendas of their new bosses. satiric 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 live the nonprofit project is part of an international network of independent media the refugee crisis began shortly after its launch satiric 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. you.

see them if you look in this stupid field multiple here in the refugee camp there was a group of 15 young women from afghanistan. tell the media accounts of their story weren't accurate szell so they decided to become journalists themselves and give the refugees an authentic voice. so. at the 1st move very just because. they said that's not going to be after 8 long the 1st day she often leaves paper. demand off they come came to our son said how proud they were. and just. for us. and. i thin it's was the. us. because we are very well to change the mind of afghan men about how.

we chose to name our me speak my mind i thought it best to list we believe rick with supply that would be for me especially. with paul i spank if i lied to him and he replied. 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

a single ballot trances different 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 close to 1000000 euros which for a new political party is almost impossible and to this is added the fact that we couldn't open a bank account for a very long time because the financing political situations 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 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

know nothing and 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 heartbreaking. colombe remains undeterred she's continuing to work on behalf of votes in other european countries in london she's campaigning for andrea evans on who had initially planned to run for election in italy. but to a new party has little hope of getting anywhere. i do you get good. you knew that it would be night man was to run to catch you up because you have different ecosystems and missions to systems to run. and it is the case we can run in. running many others. both.

my grandfathers and grandfathers or people competing with me here even be able to stay in the same room after the 2nd world war and now we are. brothers we can never meet you know 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 you because it's but i think it's just the best solution we have. this is an amazing project that generation needs 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 can you reason puts people on the dump put on the mean going to such extremes put it it's because one 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. campaigning for a fair rest of society she what some behalf of victims of the housing crisis. out of a building that was 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 we believe is 80 she's

lived in this apartment for the 70 years now she's been given notice. 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. 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. but at least it's very hard to protect someone against a forced eviction nor an extreme rent time to sleep through the law isn't really on the side of renters because they were fighting for the right to housing to be recognized as a human right the author was devoted. to

that dream you heard this in the piece we lawyers don't usually go on picnics with the current players but we've known one another while now about them 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 but we've stayed friends in the. tempo most of the audience has helped was invaluable without test support i would have slid into debt going to be the group back to school days and some people had suffered heart attacks because of the stress if we didn't have to be out of working for us for free. we have all ended up sleeping under bridges in the magic. recession where perhaps that is possible because working with elderly people with people who have no money keeps me grounded to start when you see social inequality firsthand don't see the desperation you motivated to keep up the fight business if

you're. 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 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 matter with us talk about your argument. are from your heart i'm 17 you're still nice to me we all know you are going to go 3 or 4 hours it's talking about is the 1st one if you know when you've got back by the certain group so that might go. yet has not got a corvette in our newspapers brings together different nationalities and religions

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 the welcome everybody this is another show of the regular down the line on. go. 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. living here since 15 years 20 years i think 30 years but i asked one of the persons who are you warning this year and he said no i cannot because i mean we're going to do it really i don't have the right toward an election in european elections so what we should do as a shy think for the reintegration into their new society.

my family 1st arrived in germany people gave us so much help my parents were clueless 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 an 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 how i'd like it to be for people today. and if they ask if rejection and feel the 1st things you encounter then things aren't going to go well . this was a fun. about 6 months ago or maybe a bit longer and i was in the metro with my friend. and a group of men and got in my mind one of them had a bottle of beer yes i don't tipped it over some guy's head and insulted him in

a racist way sisters but i just. thought it was very aggressive because 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 the resigned way as if to say you know this kind of thing happens to me every day when i don't want to. some other times. i'm going to smile with any gestures of support from other students when they call anyone at all right. in front of me go hard not to no one

helping. noticed no one helped and we have become social outcasts. does are all for this year for europe we invision do $945.00 was a different one it was a europe that would grow together. unify. i do worry. but i also have faith that today's younger generation will try just as we did in the studios to shape a better world. but so in that sense. i am optimistic about the future of europe and igor should so-called. really. only 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 aunt

says she's looking full. as it is today calling. their ability. 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 suitable to this no question either and that's one of the reasons i was drawn to the idea of front because when i saw happening and was a kind of populism even though his populism share some of my values just about all political point you just. don't have those who came out as possible a guy confident that today one of us will win a seat in the european parliament whether in germany kerry or elsewhere at the end of the day that's all that matters because i would hope that we could stand in

france and italy defeats are inevitable will run next time. hi everyone i just voted in the european elections you can actually have good foods in 8 countries so make sure that you got the new foods because they. have more to control you know you had them come past which initiate but you can't change that's not true so it still beat you. on this journey you have a particular style points out of stuff that you possibly can and be put in a channel. and you seem to know it so why hasn't. that change is something that you don't expect to see here you know between what it means to.

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 360 days. that's awfully large it was our lives we hope that so many people from all over the

world gather here for the annual march of the living and have been doing so for about 3 decades. that's my passion it ensures that history is remembered and the stories will never be forgotten and i really. feel. like it's been diminished but we are and i'm very touched by the students and the one of them pointed out that the signs people are carrying on like gravestones for people who were denied them even if you had to be. born. i feel this can help survivors a lot and obviously it's a good good knowing that young people are interested in them in their story and what they went through right.

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. but the message i'm getting today is that they will vote for him with me. even without the payload 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 independent media the better it is for democracy then you can you give him about the. deal.

but i mean that they don't i'm pretty excited. we've been working towards this for 2 months. in about 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 one of the. live. 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 made it up. a narrative that's funny some days i feel very tired. i feel like what i'm doing with my

activism 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 em. like here. i think there was. a. point i want my country poland to respect human rights and i pulled 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 by polish state t.v. and described on a news show as a common provocateur way to mounting an apology from the t.v.

station and we want to show that the t.v. report was manipulated on. this. the 1st time that an ordinary citizen is bringing an action against the state t.v. station timmy peak and not the other way round this is my biggest case so far and it's a landmark case for society which that was but my guess it's very challenging but i feel good about it the question that i feel i'm defending european values and contributing to something important is that it spikes if there's politics as i'm fighting for a more democratic society that up holds the rule of law as well but to the look at the 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 in the nose that. especially when it's a case that has broader social relevance. i get very invested in the whole thing

interest will reach 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 being publicly shamed just for. 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 the mechanic a different side i'm on to a group of lawyers currently working on the many many cases if that's possible 40 percent of our cases are pro bono of the problem or we represent people with no money who are fighting what we see as an important case. there are many lawyers and colons doing what we do and yeah. but the climate some of my colleagues laugh at me but i don't care what matters to me is that i see results and see where there is

more if me and my client gets to say in their apartment a refugee is granted papers to stay in poland or my work can improve people's lives . i try to make sure they get their morning may mean i can sleep at night but i don't want to start small going and. looking at who they're going to. basically up their gardens 1st projections of books like i mean i mean you can go down it's all we have we can't so dreadfully it's not but it looks good really good thanks to you drew but. now. you've. told me that. one or 2 years ago we created books and we had 0 idea of how politics actually went for. 2 years in and this is why been battling intensive downside i am so

proud of what we have achieved. we can make countries women as you go 12 political commentators we have on what's going to fasten volunteers so obviously i hope that we are going to like them once and i think this is the. way. i am familiar i. was asleep because this is an amazing success for volz in germany and an amazing success for european democracy. 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 called. showed

that we can do it be a capable of getting elected who will evidence based policies be fought using puppets discourse and and we keep the left changing the political landscape once felt that by the time. i mean anyone has a world of pain in politics and and in society as a whole to make food even the society it doesn't is that you have to be in office that many ways to live and i think the time to sit back and hope that all this was do it plus. and everyone has a response to be here and we'll get a complaint if we don't do anything today is to meet.
