the search for. the secrets of. the obama's code starts october 11th all in all you come up enough to get out of their own room. to. get. to the alan to. follow in a very warm welcome indeed to focus on europe with me peter craven and europe is still struggling to get the refugee crisis under control with tensions running particularly high on the greek islands and in recent weeks thousands have been making their way across the mediterranean to greece like this family most of them were previously in camps in turkey where the government is no though taking

a harder line on my current. well just how bad conditions in greece's refugee camps are became clear in recent days with a deadly fire at the morea camp on less boss and the situation is just as drastic on other greek islands as our reporter found out when he visited zama office where many say they've had enough of all the shocking problems caused by the migrant influx but one local resident though a woman called maria remains determined to do all she can to help. every day at noon maria macro yani waits for guests and they arrive on time refugees from the nearby camp on the island of sam most. this time it's 2 young men from somalia. maria has prepared paster with chicken she hosts refugees in her apartment every day. when i see refugees i offer them something to

eat i've always done this. to refugees on someone's call her mama maria. the pensioner not only offers them a warm meal but also canned food and clothing. making for. a little. bit of a leg problem here for girls is very big and sometimes fighting you cannot sometimes you're going to fall something 3 years ago maria and her husband many colleagues were honored for their willingness to help back then they owned a tavern at the beach where refugees could get a free meal it was a place where people from all over the world who had lost their homes could feel welcomed. but then maria's lease was terminated

a shock that caused her to have 2 strokes. all of them and only then a good little boy back then all i did was think of the refugees after getting up i would start cooking today the sentiment has changed and is directed against the refugees locals don't see any solution. 5000 refugees now live ensembles which has a population of just 30000. the camp is overfilled many people have to sleep outside in tents. some have been waiting for years for their asylum requests to be processed local aid organizations say europe finally needs to take care of these people really you know that also to ensure that human lives are not lost at sea but also. feet for sick persecution and. receive. decent. reception conditions.

but savile's tells a different story we're not allowed to enter the camp but we made mohamed again and he uses his phone to film inside. children are playing next to rats in indescribable hygenic conditions. jungle. against the regime in the form when it comes. and often it's been nice sometimes we don't have an ally sometimes we don't have any but our. life at the port of the has changed too. many greeks feel europe has forgotten them they're appalled that some e.u. states are refusing to take in any refugees at all. other countries should open their borders in order for these people to move on or the traffickers who brought them here should take them somewhere else. these people are stuck here that doesn't work you know we want our lives to be the way they were

before like very much going to believe what they're going to. mccully shows us his former tavern maria doesn't like to return to the place she was driven out of because of her support for the refugees. that was 3 years ago her husband still remembers how it all began. we planted a few tomatoes and we saw our refugee pick in the. remote when that's when we understood that they were hungry and maria who has a kind heart started cooking for them if you must. when macalister meets his former neighbors they say they were never against what he and maria were doing. but they are bothered by so many foreigners from africa coming to the beach to swim mccallum is shocked by this. to think of the book they say we fouled the beach with the refugees. yes even though we always took care to

keep it clean it's much dirtier now. the. living conditions in the refugee camps on the greek islands are getting worse by the day people like mama maria who refuse to accept that are becoming more and more isolated. well the government in athens now cern's it will make every effort to get the comeback kid order before winter sets in and transfer grounds to the main. now on a very different note tourism can be a blessing or a curse as the people of the pretty medieval port of coto on the coast of montenegro are discovering the town itself in the beautiful bay of coto draw a large numbers of visitors many of them arriving on huge cruise ships the big questions are being asked about the environmental sustainability of the tourist onslaught and drag on

a local fisherman told us about the great concerns that he has for the future on a fair day like this drug and search will throw his cast nets out twice a day like his father and his grandfather before him. they never had to roll far out because the bay a coach or used to be full of fish but over the last few years stocks have dramatically decreased. below the billabong of. the used to be so many fish. people are we can troll show blue fish white fish and chilies. but those days are over there are no more shows here now where you. drug and thinks cruise ships like this one are to blame more and more are docking and cohorts being hardly a day passes without at least one of the huge ships discoursing throngs of tourists into the small city. become one of the top cruise destinations along the adriatic

next to venice and dubrovnik. but while the letter to have been overwhelmed by mass tourism have put on the brakes the number of crew ships and culture is increasing. after all a single tourist spends around 40 europe's. it in the time this is the only way tourism can prosper here and a lot of people live off it. unfortunately kauto doesn't have any beaches or even hotels. and there's a. coach or only gets a day visit hers it's not a sustainable model as the local tourist office well knows but they don't want to give up the lucrative business. that appeared the only thing that would make a real difference in court order would be something hotels then the same number of tourists would bring more profit and cause less environmental damage there wouldn't just be cruise ships here then but other day visitors to. even it will leave.

but there's a shortage of concrete ideas. i. earlier when buildings began shooting up around one of its world heritage sites unesco was alarmed. but now says drought on the base entire ecosystem is under threat. for both. the ocean if you like the idea that this is a desert. byard a version of the is collapsing if you. live oak and small fish survive you're. born when they're being exposed to such an enormous current. every time these giants dark or are put to sea they're about plains and stern thrusters act like a huge blender whiling the water in the bay. it's

catastrophic for the sensitive ecosystem in the bay marine biologist best known my church says but the complex mix of salt and fresh water is somehow still intact for now. the maritime environment can withstand a lot and can regenerate but there are limits. once this system collapses it will become extremely difficult protracted and expensive to restore it to be blunt i'm scared of what's still to come. in this and this. passage out of the big leads through a narrow channel barely wide enough for the giant ships to pass. it's a tourist attraction and marine biologists by merit the same time and hard to imagine what would happen if a ship went around. vesna

says the bay of course or should already be a protected area if montenegro wants to join the e.u. it will have to set up foreign reserves. tribal of the same name and this that. every country should protect 10 percent of its coast. that would mean about 30 kilometers here. and i'm going to visit montenegro has been working on some marine reserve projects for the last decade but unfortunately we still don't have any. work in there manuel. there used to be hundreds of fishermen in coach or drug on service now just a handful are left and if things don't change his generation might be the last. now across europe people will shortly be marking the 30th anniversary of the fall of the berlin wall and the crumbling of communism it was a breathtaking moment of historic change with poland's solid dollars trade union

movement playing a central role in that movement was led of course by lead when so but in today's poland a starkly divided country many are dismissive of the heroes of yesteryear. this old barrack in the dance was originally a torpedo warehouse located some 500 kilometers from berlin this is what he iron curtain began to crumble back then this was still called the lenin shipyard today it's still used for welding hovering shortening or lengthening ships the smell of rust and iron heinz in the sea air here we find the european solidarity center the heart of liberal poland. we meet the hero of the solid movement less phones still a non-conformist even the surety is wearing seems to be an open challenge directed at poland's current government it reads constitution in quotation marks the nobel peace prize winner and former polish president but then co-founder and leader of

the solid donnish movement. question here. technically speaking it was our sally darn movement that eventually led to the fall of the wall. the big rush but political leaders at the time and the whole world could see that communism was coming to an end the time was ripe for change. in the spring of 2019 celadon a celebrated its 13th annual round table a further polish democratic convention the anniversary was marked by a container outside the center the conservative government did not send any form of congratulations telling upsets. the government is more concerned with supporting people like albert but let's get. he lives in eastern poland where press rates are higher and church pews are fun or. his home village has just over 2000 residents virtually all of whom voted for the national conservative law and justice peace

party the farmer says peace keeps its promises. love a good ballet but that was trouble i voted for the peace party in 2015 only. keep voting for them because i've been. eve they'll do everything to keep the villages in poland strong dollar you will trim our $7000.00 for the party came to power in 2015 thanks largely to the $500.00 plus program on the which families receive $500.00 slots per month along with free school books earned money for school starters it's said to help people get up from their knees as they say in poland. that's not. all of it though is that the housekeeper's as we can tell by our wallets. and money is benefiting our children it's for additional tutoring and classes and for vacations yeah. the money from the state which receives generous subsidies from the european union makes life more

comfortable for the farmers and yet the but let's be family wouldn't say they're grateful that communism ended and the iron curtain fell they feel the former hero left for when super trade them and made a deal with the communists or not their supper when like when that was president he invited foreign investors into poland not come to russia. to iron back then that might have been a good idea but they let too many too many polish people were sold out thank goodness the piece put an end to that shit. today the polish capital warsaw is like a portfolio exhibition it's a city of global klingler it's their sleek cosmopolitan skyscrapers would fit anywhere in the world the city is changed beyond recognition since the fall of communism. german car manufacturers chinese banks american consultants a reporter asks has poland sold itself out.

this is a different world is a new world. anyone with enough motivation power and finances can take whatever they want. things aren't good the way they are we like rules. but i'm sure it'll sort itself out in 100 years. but left home villages hosting an agricultural trade show they are all proud of their new prosperity they can keep up with the rest of europe at least when it comes to agriculture even if they are peace fodor's now living in a unified europe is a given 30 years ago that was. the case the founding of the 1st trade union in the port city of danske all those years ago set off a historical chain reaction between the east and west that led to the end of the iron curtain. now despite growing fears of being sucked into a global recession europe stands for prosperity but not for all such as the

hundreds of thousands of roumanian workers who made their way to italy in a desperate bid to escape grinding poverty at home where as a result whole regions are being depopulated now meanwhile in its early many remaining migrants struggle to survive on a legal work that pays only make a wage is the best most of them people like patrick and ronnie you end up living on the margins of society. it's 5 30 in the morning in buffalo on the outskirts of rome this is where day laborers wait for someone to offer them work most of them are from romania. a van pulls over. one of the men climbs in discreetly of course the police could show up at any minute. the others stay behind and

keep on waiting most of the time it's in vain italy's construction sector is in crisis we ask some of the men how much money they can earn here. heavy labor can get to 60 to 70 years a day. he says some of the people that picked them up are italian and some are remaining in picher come under no you had no luck finding work this morning. his unlucky streak has lasted for more than a week now. be done here going what must i moonlighted what our employers prefer that so that they can avoid paying taxes or insurance stocks they would rather take you as an undeclared worker. to have to do manual sometimes i don't get paid to talk or 30 actually say they're paid to morrow and then they never show up again and again go money oh well like. a 63 year old welder has been trying his luck for

years here but with less and less success. he says a while ago his wife and his 2 children left him. since then he's been living at the edge of the city in this makeshift hut good decent i've got my kids with their grandparents while they're waiting for their dad to come back but i'm not coming back. every evening petrik or goes to bed early he'll have to wake up at 430 if he wants any chance of getting work tomorrow. god what a curse it life this is. but peter is not alone in his plight yulian montoya from italy's construction union knows of many others just like him originally from romania he says many of his countrymen come to italy hoping for fast cash but the one they came because they were promised the land of milk and honey here but they found something entirely different. pay to go was also looking for

a better life when he set out from romania to italy many years ago. this is where he used to live in the village of s. now now his house is abandoned his family has moved away many other houses stand empty here the local bar is the only place left with a bit of life in it here they remember their previous neighbor oh ok tell me it's out of money he said there was no point staying here in a country that now is earning his daily bread and everything else he needs to come back being if i could go a long way i think it's better to stay here on a romanian feels. at least here you can get some sheeps cheese even if romania is per. thank you for. the set up there was one. back in rome like every morning petrushka is up early driven by the hope of earning a few heroes today. for what

i'm sure of is beautiful the candle is not for me brought out of that out. i will not tourists were slaves again lot of that. but. there are few people looking for cheap labor in buffalo today a bad outlook for people like pay took a under no you the romanian welder. now the vikings of norway big blood thirsty marauders spreading fear with their bushy beards and their horned helmets not so apparently historians are discovering that they weren't for quite a cultivated lot and some norwegians are responding by turning special classes to learn more about the ways of their peace loving ancestors. today's lesson is how to pitch a tent the way they did a 1000 years ago of course. they be on has made it to the viking school senior year

on the polis a from a hardware store but the tent is fashioned after what archaeologists have learned about the viking age this is quite different from the history they'd be on learnt at school the local dog here at school you don't learn anything about the vikings daily lives be that that's what's so incredibly fascinating to respect them i'm. interested perspective vikings can apply to this beautiful community college and sell your art in 7 norway it's even office room and board so i don't mind it it's not hard to spot from which students are taking the viking class. the teachers have no problems with using modern tools or the training supervisor explains it's more about exploring the viking way of life the precise reenactment butterfly and i always think about what materials people had a variable to them back then. and then we use that and build something with the

techniques current had the time to me go from 0. to being the popular series by kings focuses more on techniques for a minute to ring in pillaging the fighting's the baby on temperament find the commercial image of the northmen problematic it's. the more people here that i'm interested in viking things they like approaching about its most basic they know a lot about vikings from what they've seen on t.v. . so i always have to explain what's accurate about that and what's not. because of but this writing has no objections to television's depiction of blood thirsty swashbucklers i'm just color who belongs to a lover's men a group of hobby vikings dedicated to keeping norway's mediæval legacy alive in their free time he climbs out of his car ready in full battle gear. all of his men

have faithfully reconstructed a viking longship they even forge their weapons and armor themselves they also practice this sort of play skills. you're not allowed to strike the head or neck the legs or hands. you only score points or if your sword touches your opponent's body. wooden planks instead of sleek find us leather shoes instead of sneak a is no women on deck no ways modern day vikings bring the past back tonight with. it all got to be today we live in a highly intellectual culture if someone's good at school get ahead and earn money it. didn't but viking age whoever was stronger and could lift the heavy stone was valued higher in scope but. close virtues are much closer to human nature to them students of the viking school who learned that life

back then wasn't necessarily all that primitive even if they have to make fiat using flint it's certainly a change from computer games and. fabian has learned a lot of this college but he's worried that the viking trend could be misused by political extremists. you know sister racists or neo nazis misuse vikings on the ruins claiming they are racially pure germanic people. and they were checked out. but just running around in these clothes i might be mistaken for someone who believes ideals like that's your circle never said. you know them all the viking school wants there is to open possibilities for a simpler more authentic lifestyle and that's what more and more young people are looking for not only in no way. and that's all from focus on europe this time around thanks so much for joining us and to come

back next week until by and by by found trucks. go for. it.
