i. hello and welcome to focus on europe i'm laura 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 cells in eastern 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 ratio's 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 awful racial thinks about what happened to her son she feels helpless lost i think 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 that i like to know what was his last phone call then read about him and i haven't heard from him since i'm. not a good job something similar happened to a family in their neighborhood. so i was sent to jail and then the port to close up there it was taken by a 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 and i when he is.

hundreds of thousands of syrians live in istanbul a number here in the fire 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 and i don't want you know an amputee or i want to kill him nor restrictions on us now and people are being deported back to syria was there any mom but we can't flee turkey for europe anymore because it's too dangerous. going to visit and so 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. and then. i say i have these mobile phone images from other night 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. the mood is heated up in istanbul as well. took the losses. so if neither of them comes or i don't want to live in this neighborhood and in this country anymore it's me. going to try to get along with most of the syrians say if there are some bad people but you get that everywhere. you go and i want them to leave as soon as possible we don't want them here anymore he said. turkish president dredge of type 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 tyranny. america checker goes 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. they were sending a person to a war zone is a serious human rights violation of. those along with us now is not an isolated case because this is happening to many syrians many have been deported in recent months and not the lawyer also says that many deported syrians attempt to return to

turkey illegally and often at a high cost of pain a lot of money to people smugglers. and as dangerous as that might sound mohammed's mother often is clean 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 blame for what followed was an outpouring of generosity france's elite pledged hundreds of millions of euros for its restoration and president emmanuel not call 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 too damn cathedral is very much a part of disney's schon son's life. every day from her balcony she looks to see

if it's still standing. after year after the blaze denise has still not got over the trauma of it along with every dollar x. there straight ahead was exactly where the tower was. it only that will be said they saw we saw how it caught fire best started wobbling left and right and then broke off. a phone that 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 dam 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 he knew of 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 call the cathedral is suddenly inaccessible and many people suffer as a result we were who ruled it when i was born there as were my great grandparents so my grandpa just because he's going back to where my children were christened in the cathedral where they got that's my son asks all the time will know to become whole again then i say look they're working at 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 usually slow. 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's

angry at president a man when. he promised to rebuild the cathedral in just 5 years that's completely unrealistic so you're failing 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. around them or we expected the government to ask the french people to trust us experts. but that was not the case but one set about them i think. to rule not treat them is a unesco world heritage site the government must put all its cards on the table. it owns it to the prisoners and the tourists $50000000.00 of whom came here every year before the fire. real big touch 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 think seem to want to stay as long or shopping not true damn simple julie said that except 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 matej today 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 mr murphy. actually the entire construction site must be completely sealed off it is for the lead molecules must be prevented from getting into the environment during the construction work you don't continue to load until

knees are worried about the neighborhood children meanwhile the city has cleaned the courtyards of schools and daycares they say. claude and denise are devout catholics and believe that god has personally protected not freedom from collapse until now through the fall there was a protecting hand that's how i see it i said yes and off for 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 and that's a surprise is ceci is supper still on the thinking. load and the knees are quite sure that they're not true down will stand here as splendidly as before and they 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 $34000.00 plastic bottles go into its waters every minute in italy 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 colorless have been fishermen for generations but for how much longer nobody knows. that i've done a fairly what i mean other 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 even recent years we fished a lot of plastic out of the sea feel

a bit risky i want to look here. 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 lawn he now collects it and brings it to shore 6 killers a plastic instead of fish this makes him angry. we live from seafood if there isn't much to catch then you earn less and you have trouble supporting your family when you. get out. 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 bring down one when we catch a big fish swordfish for example they've got it on board we often see plastic in their stomachs this happens more and more every year old on problem of a 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 i thought were giving a green light to fisherman. who want to work on this project with us you know you don't do a lot of this it means that with the fish you catch you also help the italian stay protected the sea bass council or you 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 they want to 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 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 jan a call at least 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 on the bus 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 the stuff the needed 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'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 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 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 checking them against wanted lists. it's been

a range of offenses it's been possession of property in class b. drugs there's bieber's action of a blade article on 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 in a court as 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 the people on the terrorist watch list is being tipped 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 xenophobia or homophobic rights sexist governments were to be elected and took our eye this isn't a far fetched already today many police force of racism and say that nonwhite london has almost stopped and searched more often than on of this good wages is worried that the deployment of facial recognition technology could exacerbate this discrimination i don't think that the technology is sufficiently relied that even members of the public could feel confident that they can demonstrate because these

kind of 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 we need to keep 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 on them to your security system when the person crosses your cameras your system picks it up so this is easy no apparently privacy is a thing of the post. some pop 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 say our 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 fall in sheer use fire brigade meets twice a week in the village of me yet say. bob you know magdalena jennifer and their friends carry out emergency drills and one day hope to live up to their idols the professional firefighters but fire members because of this brigade there are no

voice. is sure. it's even better without voice. why is it better without fall as they say shouts all the time and whenever they do anything it takes ages. to try says she. and he kills someone for life is egypt and they listen to him ok 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 entered the even practice resuscitation. of. 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. there so your post because we have

off ideas coming from all over poland on how we can produce a boy for the next problem i think we just have to keep trying until it works that's what all the villagers think. thanks but was there a couples here who already have 3 daughters you know because i don't want to try anymore. yes it's a chance here is a small village in upper silesia with 300 residents and the situation is starting to cause many of them concern so is there a solution. going to colleges to. practice about 20 kilometers away in case a machine code that treats around 6000 women a year including women from the yes that's a good chance here he's often asked for advice about how to influence the sex of a baby or if it's even possible that she says was some sort of legal there are lots of old wives' tales if you want to put an x. on the battery if you want to grow a flower have to go

a little bit there's no scientific proof that it was overwhelming. and clearly any attempts to influence the sex have failed the lack of boys sense also left a hole in the local catholic church. the sunday service is a mandatory date for most of the villagers. at mass it's mainly girls who perform as altar servers i priest 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 masses of artists that are going found out that this village was only producing basement girls i had an idea but if a couple had a baby boy i would make a present for them so the friends can enjoy it will be

a surprise when the boy is born with your car your kids are then their hope to chill dodgy took over and so. 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. these girls are the future and happiness of the village nice boys from the neighboring villages will come and vice versa i'd be just like anywhere else. that's still a long way off for the batting all female firefighters though. there should be more boys in the brigade yeah. but you don't mean you're better for your service in the 1st 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. the be. the big bucks or. the big.
