good morning. stories. in the am student news anchor green program tonight from born in germany. easy to i want website. africa to join us on facebook. hello and welcome to focus on europe i'm larva biloela 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 the southeastern 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 also rishi was 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 there were turning voluntarily despite the ongoing war. mohammed has been gone for more than 2 months. when awful racial thinks about what happened to her son she feels helpless lost. i think only 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 only i know what was his last phone call then read about him and i haven't heard from him since. you know not of. something similar happened to a family in their neighborhood. if i was sent to jail and that the porter to was there it was taken by al nasra fighters. they shot of the head and sent a photo of the body to his family. who was. alive i'm heartbroken i know what we can learn 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 the day i want to kill him or 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 do yeah. we syrians used to feel welcome here. that is changed. and it's also now we feel like don't want to the migrants again. and then. i say i have these mobile phone images from other in southeastern turkey childress 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. and the mood is heated up in istanbul as well. took processes be a vulgar us. honey so if they are from the come or guard i don't want to live in this neighborhood and in this country anymore it's maybe. i just try get along with most of the syrians say if there are some bad people but you get that everywhere. get out the bag we want them to leave as soon as possible we don't want them here any more now he's saying. turkish president regift type 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 terror really. america checker goes disagrees the attorney is trying to help get offered racial son back from syria mohammed and his family have valid turkish documents and protection status chucker goes has filed an appeal with turkey's constitutional court. and the whole sending a person to a war zone is a serious human rights violation of the earth along with iceland 100 is not isolated case with because this is happening to many syrians many have been supported 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 smugglers. 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 to michelle soll who live in the area worry that the president's words may ring hollow. not to dam cathedral is very much a positive denise shed on son's life. every day from have balcony she looks to see

if it's still standing. the year after the blaze denise has still not got over the trauma of it all of which every dollar locks there straight ahead was exactly where the tower one is sleep. it only that will be said they saw we saw how it caught fire best started wobbling left and right and then broke off. said 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 lovingly cooled the cathedral is suddenly inaccessible and many people suffer as a result. who ruled it when i was born there as were my great grandparents so my grandpa just became. my children were christened in the cathedral where they got 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 big visuals is always what. moving forward perhaps but much slower than residents would like the cathedral is still in danger of collapsing. the building must 1st be stabilized says architect and. she is

angry at president emanuel mccomb. he promised to rebuild the cathedral in just 5 years that's completely unrealistic so your feeling 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 but one of them i think. after all not true dumb 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. but. 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 damn people to listen to it so 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 yeah it's murder. to actually be in charge construction site must be completely sealed off as for these the lead molecules must be prevented from getting into the environment during the construction work in the new load and the knees are worried about the

neighborhood. children meanwhile the city has cleaned the cool yards of schools and a campus they say. closed 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 to move off from all nothing to happen to the virgin birth child there was debris everywhere and she didn't even have a scratch not even a scratch about the surprises seso used some percent pontification. kloden dinies 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 john e. coli and his boys go out to see. the congolese have been fisherman for generations but for how much longer nobody knows. a lot and also lives on a fairly what i have a fish tank has somewhat recovered but i'm fortunately there is a lot of plastic because many people go pleasure boating near the back of the journey that the more recent years we fished a lot of plastic out of the sea you know it was going to look to me and.

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 kilos of plastic instead of fish this makes him angry not if we live from seafood if there isn't much to catch then you are less and you have trouble supporting your family when you meet on syria should get 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 every now and 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 being a 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 see in the world the italians are slow to understand that they have to do something. we're giving a green light to fisherman. who want to work on this project with us lou you've done a lot of this it means that with the fish you catch you also help the italian stay protected the sea bass scum will stop 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 or produced by bacteria it's converted into granular 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 alcohol is that bacteria decomposes if you leave it in water or soil i mean. is there not so it's a completely harmless to vironment and nature. of your they've got about. 50 composes 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 you're suddenly young of us are. in the harbor of porto to saudi oh sergio 5 arrives to greet the fisherman he coordinates 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 all nets are 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 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're 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 van 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 and yet 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 is checking them against wanted lists. it's been

a range of offenses it's been possession of property in 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 want 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 if it hasn't been to the people any terrorist watch list is going to look for a relatively low level for minerals wanted for relatively low level offenses 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 xenophobe ak or homophobic rights sexist governments were to be elected into power i this isn't a far fetched a ready today many accuse london's police force of racism and say that nonwhite london has almost stopped and search more often than on of this if wages is worried that the deployment of facial recognition technology could exacerbate this discrimination i don't think the technology is sufficiently relied that we bring them to the public could feel confident that they can walk down the street because

these companies times 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 feet 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 great market says the salesman. because you can go on facebook now get people's profile images and easy upload them on to your own software criminals etc in the place uploaded images all over the life you can pick up the men which is on them to your security system when the person crosses your cameras your system picks it up so this is easy now apparently privacy is a thing of the post. some puppet 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 this court 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 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 the village of me yet see here. you know magdalena jennifer and their friends carry out emergency drills and one day hope to live up to their idols the professional firefighters not far men though because of this brigade there are no boys. this is sure. it's even better without boys. why is it

better with them for as they say showers all the time and whenever they do anything it takes ages. to try and cheat. he kills someone for life and they listen to you more carefully boys always do lots of things at the same time. all 9 girls packed into 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 are simply no boys. for those who have off ideas

coming from all over poland on how we can produce a boy for the next problem i think you just have to keep trying until it works that's what all the villagers think. thank you thank you mr a couples here who already have 3 daughters you know because i don't want to try any more group over. me yes it's a chance here is a small village in upper so lazy with 300 residents and the situation is starting to cause many of them concern so is there a solution. gynaecologist to. a practice about 20 kilometers away in case 18 cautioning that treats around 6000 women a year including women from the yes that's a good chance here is often asked for advice about how to influence the sex of a baby or if it's even possible and she says with some sort of legal there are lots of old wives' tales to superstition if you want a boy she put an x. on the battery if you want to grow a flower and go i would go but there's no scientific proof that it was good. and

clearly any attempts to influence the sex have failed for lack of boys has also left a hole in the local catholic church. the sunday service is a mandatory dates for most of the villagers. that 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 martyrs a hearty sort of he found out that this religion was only producing baby girls i had an idea what if a couple had a baby boys or i would make a present for them so dry skin and yet they would be

a surprise when the boy is born if your. kids attend their hope to chilled out he took over and. 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. the truth is to teach these girls of the future and happiness of the village nice boys from the neighboring villages will come and vice versa i will be just like anywhere else miss. you that's still a long way off for the body and all female firefighters though. there should be more boys in the brigade yeah. but you know when you're better for your facility of course. these fire 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.
