the 1st one from the german national. recently by his the. values developed to. use it to live by and defend the principles of justice and freedom and now we're here for you. our journey. starts october 23rd d. w. . hello and welcome to focus on europe i'm lara baba lola it's nice to have you with us turkey has taken in more syrian refugees than any other nation in europe around 3 and a half 1000000 were let into the country as they fled civil war lately the mood

towards the refugees has shifted to one of hostility consultants are in turkey an angry mob vandalized an area and habited by syrian refugees are shouldering the blame for unemployment housing shortages and crime as the country grapples with an economic crisis while those who found safety in turkey are once again living in fear over a shoe settled with her family in istanbul but she worries she may be deported back to syria turkey's president is under pressure and has announced plans to repatriate refugees to so-called safe zones in syria's north accuracy as they're returning voluntarily despite the ongoing war. i mohammed has been gone for more than 2 months. when offered racial thinks about what happened to her son she feels helpless lost i believe in early

august mohammed was writing a friend's motorbike in istanbul the bike wasn't registered the teenager was stopped by police and then sent to a detention center. about 12 days later i got a call from him and. he said adam and they've taken me to syria. to the point the only i know what was his last phone call they let him and i haven't heard from him since. july something similar happened to a family in their neighborhood. i was sent to jail in the port to close there it was taken by al nasra fighters. they shot of in the head and sent a photo of the body to his family. who was. alive because i'm heartbroken when we can and from syria he was still

a small child but now they have sent him back to that place like i when he is about . hundreds of thousands of syrians live in istanbul a number here in the district many have heard that the turkish authorities have begun deporting refugees in recent months and most of them are frayed that they could be next. year when they started sending people back i was so scared that i didn't leave my house i don't want be they already want to kill or more restrictions on us now and people are being deported back to syria with their new mom but we can't flee turkey for europe anymore because it's too dangerous to. yeah . we syrians used to feel welcome here. but it's changed. and it's also now we feel like don't want to the migrants again. until. i see

every these mobile phone images from other in southeastern turkey chilled just how explosive the situation is. dozens of people recently attacked a neighborhood in which many syrians live there were rumors that a refugee had sexually harassed a turkish child the claim was false but that did not hold back them up. the police had to use water cannons to stop the riots. though the mood is heated up in istanbul as well. took the losses be adulterous. honey so if neither of them come their guard i don't want to live in this neighborhood and in this country anymore it's maybe. going to try get along with most of the syrians say if there are some bad people but you get that everywhere. you know and i guess want them to leave as soon as possible we don't want them here any more he said.

turkish president wretch of tired ad one has recognized this change in public sentiment he has made repeated promises that millions of syrians will return home to a so-called safe zone he wants to establish in northeast syria the government insists there are no deportations and that syrians who are returning are doing so well in terry. america chucker ghosts disagrees the attorney is trying to help get offered initial son back from syria mohammed and his family have valid turkish documents and protection status checker goes has filed an appeal with turkey's constitutional court. sending a person to a war zone is a serious human rights violation of. 100 is not an isolated case because

this is happening to many syrians many have been deported in recent months. not the lawyer also says that many deported syrians attempt to return to turkey illegally and often at a high cost of paying a lot of money to people smugness. and as dangerous as that might sound mohammed's mother often is clinging to any hope that she might see her son again in safety. there were images that caught the world's attention last april the historic notre dame cathedral in paris a blaze what followed was an outpouring of generosity france's elite pledged hundreds of millions of euros for its restoration and president emanuel proclaimed it would be rebuilt in just 5 years but months on concerns are mounting and those like the nischelle ansal who live in the area worry that the president's words may

ring hollow. not to dam cathedral is very much a positive denise schon son's life. every day from have balcony she looks to see if it's still standing. off a year after the blaze denise has still not got over the trauma of it along with every dollar bear straight ahead was exactly where the tower one a slave. it will do that will be said they saw we saw how it caught fire best started wobbling left and right and then broke off the. phone that it was terrible that. the fire broke out on april the 15th why is still a mystery. but will did and in fifa not true damn thousands of people gathered spontaneously in front of the cathedral millions worldwide in front of their screens through the night to knees and her husband watched from their balcony move

and i felt the heat up to my chest i stood here screaming with rage i could not understand why they could not put out the fire the tears did not come until the early morning that i cried. nothing in her neighborhood is the same since the night of the fire where they used to enter the metro they now run into a construction fence the old lady as they love in the cool the cathedral is suddenly inaccessible and many people suffer as a result really really who ruled it when i was i was born there as were my great grandparents so my grandpa just became fees going back to where my children were christened in the cathedral with god as my son asks all the time will know to become whole again then i say look they're working with the crane is lifting up the building material you shouldn't look too far ahead every day is a small step forward for these revisions evolution. moving forward perhaps but much

slower than residents would like the cathedral is still in danger of collapsing. the building must 1st be stabilised says architect and. she is angry at president a man who went home. he promised to rebuild the cathedral in just 5 years that's completely unrealistic so your fear then your renovations will take at least 10 years and that's only if a miracle happens and they find the right kinds of wood and stone and if all those employed work well this fire has plunged us into an enormous crisis. down there on the mall we expected the government to ask the french people to trust us experts . but that was not the case with the one cent above them with india. after all not treat them is a unesco world heritage site the government must put all its cards on the table. it owns it to the parisians and the tourists $50000000.00 of whom came here every year

before the fire. you'll be charged the whole world we watched it on t.v. and it hit me really hard because we were there a few days before today's travelers and tourists don't seem to want to stay as long or shopping not true down. to listen to excel that of my father had to cut our employees hours some have worked for us for 35 years that's traumatic for these families. what eyewitnesses on the night of the fire could not have known was that more than $400.00 tons of toxic lead would be vaporized and spread over the neighborhood official information on the dangers after the fire was almost non-existent. this so shocked. that she took on what the authorities failed to do. she went from door to door over the following weeks to warn the residents no reason . to actually the entire construction site must be completely sealed off because

for things the lead molecules must be prevented from getting into the environment during the construction work you heard of don't continue to load and their knees are worried about the neighborhood. children meanwhile the city has cleaned the courtyards of schools and daycares they say. clothed and unease on devout catholics and belief that god has personally protected not freedom from collapse until now do you feel there was a protecting hand that's how i see it is it to move at all from all not going to happen to the virgin birth child there was debris everywhere and she didn't even have a scratch not even a scratch about to surprises us to supper so found if we can. load and dani's not quite sure but then not sure down we'll stand here as splendidly as before and i hope they will live to see it. if you're swimming in the mediterranean and you feel

something to clean your feet it's more likely to be a plastic bag than a turtle the sea is awash with plastic the world wildlife fund says the equivalent of some of the $34000.00 plastic bottles go into its waters every minute and it's only fishermen like gianni kohli are taking action to clean up the sea that sustains their livelihoods under a new initiative italian fishermen are now permitted to take waste on board for recycling our reporter took to the seas with the fisherman who moonlight as garbage men. it's the daily morning shift at 4 o'clock janica allele and his boys go out to see. the congolese have been fisherman for generations but for how much longer nobody knows. what any other fish tank has somewhat recovered but i'm fortunately there is

a lot of plastic because many people go pleasure boating near here that markets are only going to be more recent years we fished a lot of plastic out of the sea feel it was going to go to. johnny has recently become a part time garbage man. if he catches plastic in his net he doesn't toss it back into the sea as is usually done in italy due to accusations of illegal waste transport and a new law that he now collects it and brings it to shore. 6 killers a plastic instead of fish this makes him angry not if we live from sea fish if there isn't much to catch then you earn less and you have trouble supporting your family that we never meet on syria shouted out on. a whale recently washed up on a beach in sardinia with 22 kilos of plastic in its stomach it simply starve to death. as a reality but when we catch

a big fish swordfish for example they got it on board we often see plastic in their stomachs this happens more and more are being told on problem of the janitor. johnny and his boys are environmental conservationists because their very existence depends on it humankind is ruining itself and its planet they say they experience this every day. the mediterranean is considered the dirtiest sea in the world the italians are slow to understand that they have to do something be scolding keep were giving a green light to a fisherman. who want to work on this project with us no you don't a lot of this means that with the fish of courage you also help the italian state expect the sea bass gun will start. going to about it he's also thrilled that italy is developing alternatives to plastic in bellone a for example the company bio on is a young team led by marco

a story they relied on 100 year old research to develop their bio plastics the white powder is a poly were produced by bacteria it's converted into granule it which can then become all manner of products. bio on now sells licenses all over the world for its bio plastic and that's where the great thing about this by a homeowner is that bacteria decomposes if you leave it in water or soil. is there not so it's completely harmless to vironment and nature. of your they get about breathing a full on it decomposes in less than 3 months normal plastic doesn't biodegrade at all around the world an estimated $350000000.00 tonnes of plastic are produced every year some of that ends up in a pool in janick alleles nat but the fisherman is optimistic about the future at least most of the time. my us better get i hope things get a lot better we really need to focus on cleaning up what we have done over the past

few years you will just suddenly on the bus stop in the harbor of port of his audio sergio 5 arrives to greet the fishermen he cordon it's the waste disposal with them so that's everything for today. it's better to get rid of this stuff the leave it in the sea these are nets or plastic everything's plastic. it was never johnny's dream to become a marine garbage collector but he's motivated to do it to provide a better future for his children. double decker buses and pubs common sights on the streets of britain a look a little closer and you may spot something else surveillance cameras look again and your face just may be scanned to a database facial recognition software is being used by authorities without any legal framework in place while the orwellian technology is leading to fears of

a police state and in south wales one man is taking action and bridges has filed a landmark lawsuit against police critics of the technology want to ensure that someone is watching the watchmen. every move and bridges makes is being monitored by c.c.t.v. cameras in the welsh capital cardiff they are ubiquitous in britain he's grown used to the constant surveillance but recently discovered something that really shocked him the van was parked just around the corner and the by the time i was close enough to see facial recognition technology written on the phone it had already captured my data several times over and that felt like an invasion of my privacy i'm a law abiding member of the public i was going about my daily business i wasn't committing any crime i was no threat to anyone i knew the police were there filming me and capturing my data is actually i now he's taking the welsh police to court over this

technology the police continue to use it scanning hundreds of faces per 2nd checking them against wanted lists. it's been a range of offenses it's been possession of class b. drugs there's been possession of a blade article and a range of things that you would expect to find in the general population so we are learning we are developing and there are actually people being taken off the streets who are wanted for offenses or to be the court direct result of the deployment of this technology. and bridges doubts that the ends justify the means welsh police force child the facial recognition technology at cardiff's millennium stadium allegedly to help combat terrorism if you look at how the technology has been used since then it hasn't been to look to be any terrorist watch list is being to look for relative you know level for minerals wanted for relatively low level defenses and that's really where we get into the issue is is this technology being used in a proportionate way. in london c.c.t.v.

cameras are practically everywhere. the british capital has an estimated 500000 surveillance cameras in operation around the clock more than any other european city. experts say britain has become a veritable surveillance state but few points seem to mind even if you totally trust your police and you totally trust your government now it is entirely possible to build surveillance technology that could become extremely dangerous and weaponized against the population in just a few years' time if a more authoritarian or racist or xenophobia back or homophobic rights sexist governments were to be elected into power i this isn't a far fetched now already today many accuse london's police force of racism and say that nonwhite london has almost stopped and search more often than honest good wages is worried that the deployment of facial recognition technology could

exacerbate this discrimination i don't think the technology is sufficiently reliable this will bring them to the public could feel confident that they can demonstrate because these can raise funds you know you're on the receiving end of those challenges and i think that's a really important thing to get right particularly for women particularly for people from ethnic minorities who are much more likely to be the result of false positives. even british consumers on now starting to equip their homes with facial recognition cameras. it's a growth market says the salesman. because you can go on facebook now get people's profile images and easiest upload them onto it on software criminals etc in the place uploaded images all over the life you can pick up the men which is odd into your security system when the person crosses your cameras your system picks it up so it is easy no apparently privacy is a thing of the pumice. some pub owners have even started using facial recognition

cameras to help save customers in the right order. and bridges finds this use of technology extremely worrying. and hopes his port case when the new that bridge to the new main danger. now to a place that has intrigued and stumped scientist with just a few 100 residents may it's day or chance here is a village brimming with girl power they're learning how to fight fires and save lives jobs traditionally done by men so what's behind the change and unexplained phenomenon no boys have been born there for nearly a decade. this volunteer youth fire brigade meets twice a week in look image of me yet see here. jennifer and their friends

carry out emergency drills and one day hope to live up to their idols the professional firefighters fire a member because of this brigade there are no boys. and his sure it's all good it's even better without voice. why is it better without for as they say shout all the time and some whenever they do anything it takes ages. to try 60. he kills someone for life and they listen to you more carefully that boys always do lots of things at the same time. all 9 girls packing to the fire truck to start the exercise a garden house is on fire on a sports field and the youth fire brigade needs to put it out only this is just a drill. the girls also need to rescue and look after the injured they even practice recess attention. to. the

fact that only girls train here is no coincidence only girls have been born in the village for nearly 10 years there is simply no boys. for those who have up ideas coming from all over poland on how we can produce a boy for the next government think we just have to keep trying until it works that's what all the villagers think. thanks thank you mr a couples here who already have 3 daughters. and i don't want to try any more brutal. yes it's a 0 chance here is a small village in upper celesio with 300 residents and the situation is starting to cause many of them concern so is there a solution. going ecologist. runs a practice about 20 kilometers away in case a sheen cozily that treats around $6000.00 women a year including women from the us so your chance here is often asked for advice about how to influence the sex of a baby or if it's even possible which is

a solar certainly there are lots of old wives' tales to superstition if you want a boy should put an x. on the battery if you want to grow a flower and go a little but there's no scientific proof that it was good. and clearly any attempts to influence the sex have failed the lack of boyd says also left a hole in the local conflict church. the sunday service is a mandatory day for most of the villagers. at mass it's mainly girls who perform as altar servers i preach to ask him to stand york is concerned that there will be no boys to take over he's prayed for divine assistance i. told you if the prayers of the community are answered and the village is finally blessed with a boy the village council plans to show its gratitude. for the monsters of

partition to found out where the village was only producing baby girls i had an idea what if a couple had a baby boy stuck i would make a present for them is so dry skin and yet they will be a surprise when the boy is born in which i tell you all kid within the whole picture without the so-called benefit. there's a fear that the village founded in 1679 could die out many young families have moved away to find work but it's not all doom and gloom. which is puccini's girls of the future and happiness of the village nice boys from neighboring villages will come and vice versa i'd be just like anywhere else for me so. that's still a long way off for the budding all female firefighters though. there should be more boys in the brigade yeah. but you don't mean you're better for your facility of course. these fiery young girls have proven they'd be more than

a match for any boy. coincidence or is there an explanation let me know your theory by getting in touch with me on twitter thanks for. watching focus on europe i'll see you again next week. illegal. illegal. i'm going to. complain that.
