and freedom the 1st words of the german national and. 3 centuries believes that the foundation. of peace now is developed implicitly. or does it to live by and defend the principles of justice and freedom and i work every day. our journey. starts october 21st w. hello and a warm welcome to focus on europe i'm a liar about below it's nice to have you with us the debate around gregg's it is dividing britain as the rhetoric between supporters and opponents escalates m.p.'s

on both sides are accused of sowing division was inflammatory speech the debates in the house of commons are becoming increasingly heated and the quality of discourse has eroded it. emotions are running high in the palace of westminster well the hostility and intolerance has become palpable on the streets since the referendum accusations of treason and death threats have become a daily reality for british politicians m.p.'s in london are bombarded with abuse online and they're calling for more protection i must already. know if i go back to get the order to carry. there's a crowd outside the palace of westminster every day made up of both angry leavers and remain the police often have to intervene m.p.'s arriving for work face verbal abuse and sometimes even physical attack. nigel for raj leader of the bracks it

party had a milkshake thrown at him earlier this year. a relatively harmless incident compared to what other politicians have experienced. i have had threats of violence including a death threat i've certainly had threats on social media and in other ways but has several death threats several prosecutions by the police so i sat in a meeting recently with some other breaks here senior colleagues and somebody said look around so does anyone not a death threat and the answer was we've all had death threats. including tom brake . the liberal democrat is a staunch opponent of brecht's that one facebook page contained comments suggesting he should be strangled. varies from low level abuse to death threats i suspect probably every other member of parliament and house of commons as had death threats and there's no doubt that these things have got worse since the

referendum in mediately after the referendum there was a very clear increase. and these m.p.'s have little personal security they hold surgeries in their constituencies where anyone can meet the politicians face to face time breaks offices are only locked at night. one of the important roles that a british member of parliament has is being accessible to the public and providing a service people come to a member of parliament about any issue from difficulties securing a school place for their child through to poor quality housing and if we're not accessible then when are actually able to provide a very good service for people. that leaves them barrie exposed 3 years ago labor m.p. joe cox was murdered on the way to a constituency surgery her attacker has links to a neo nazi group. members of the opposition also blame the prime

minister they say his talk of capitulation and surrender is fueling hatred is. hearing from the everybody on these nice to death right and if you think that i tell the prime minister that i didn't quite see this months then i don't have to try and try to have i don't want them to meet with multi rate how long we have to come from the time just don't know yes. but pm boris johnson merely dismisses threats of violence against him peace is humbug mr speaker. i. have to say to just be cried never heard such a homebody my life. these are the sorts of threats that m.p.'s receive every day usually via facebook or twitter there are references to hanging's and firing squads civil war and gunning for blood there's no way of

knowing if some of these users might perpetuate violence in the real world. scottish m.p. lisa cameron has been sent images of rapes and decapitations she's lobbying for new legislation that would put an end to online anonymity. the police would say to you what we you know we went to see the person in the lead you know quite a usual life there. but it's almost like sin is the one line they feel anonymous they feel that there are no barriers to anything that they have to do tens of of a q so in line we need to have thought regulation tom brake believes that the political culture also needs to change. the way back is for i mean i think in the u.k. you to resolve the issue brett said i think until this is dealt with one way or another than we will continue to see this level of aggression is this sort of language news. now the brics

a crisis remains ongoing and that makes all m.p.'s potential targets wherever they stand on the political spectrum. tourists behaving badly it's a daily reality for the residents of amsterdam in the netherlands the infamous red light district attracts visitors from across the world and for some the country's liberal attitudes are a license for disrespectful behavior while residents are fed up and are demanding change the city is threatening to impose steep fines for rude conduct and is even considering banning sex work from the city center or for women like maria the proposals could be the end to her livelihood. 8 pm in amsterdam doors open for maria she works as a stripper at one of the oldest peep shows in the city but she doesn't know how much longer that will last. i'm sadam doesn't want anything more to do with the

erotic scene in the city sends out too much sex and too many tourists maria just cons understand it. she thinks it's one of the things that makes amsterdam unique i see more and more people. i'm before i remember was a little chinese people. from every part of the war. thousands of tourists warmed to the red light district streets every night goalkeeping at the women framed in the red light windows. 700 men and women sound effects and nonstop. the quarter was set up centuries ago it was a proposal to say lives. now which attracts people from 11 the world's one that has now become the problem. every morning after looks like this

garbage everywhere. the locals a sick of clearing up behind the tourists. one of them is. he's an artist and has lived here for 22 years but now he's had enough you have people that have doors here they have to clean every day because people were up against it you have people like over there there's a lady she has a sort of you know what i mean. people are pulling in there ok on the on the colonel's you also have sort of shooter dances a little bit you know the people don't see you between the humans are. there. more and more residents are taking a stand us to bury a shows us the i live here campaign and initiative he and his neighbors created it directly appeals to tourists to clean up their act when they are there. the district council pays for the posters but the residents still feel the city has

abandoned them. when i look out of the window here for a cool 4 o'clock in the morning all of a sudden you see the junkies walking around the people who were stoned the people who were drunk and in the meantime there's no one here from the government no one here from the council there's not a policeman. asked his wife shows us the view from her apartment in the middle of the district. she doesn't think a lot of the city's plans to relocate prostitution to the outskirts. she blames the neighborhoods disastrous decline on the city's false marketing and an influx of cheap shops that if you were you want to call down or get this neighborhood more quiet then also it's very important to do from thing about the norms quantity of bob's and give way in the room to you know small a local shops group can make a difference because then people can start and see their real neighborhood which is

here sallie mae has a shop in the heart of the red light district selling home made fair trade chocolate. she likes having the prostitutes as neighbors. behind her shop she also runs an art project respect the late eighty's she says the tourists should show some respect to the prostitutes and thinks the city's attempts to throw them out is the wrong policy. i often just hope that it's more the behavior of visitors that will change soon because it would be a shame if it was to show you know would really have to leave just because people cards don't know how to behave. so what's really to blame for all the mess too many tourists or too many prostitutes the city doesn't want to comment on its plans to move to the red light district and rejects our request for an interview.

on dike isn't surprised. he manages all of the clubs in the district he says the city has tried to cut back on the number before but always in vain. but the offer on with this is there was change that there's less room now. that the city has shut off a lot of brothel windows through from brah. and at this news i know everything is concentrated on this cannot go where we are sitting and in a few side streets and here it was not the district used to be bigger so visitors could spread out across the area in all directions our. mary is well aware of the dangers of being pushed out onto the streets in the city's periphery. form is the most important thing to be protected because you know sometimes in the kind of place that people feel that they can do with it what they want so if you go out in the periphery in this protection for us especially for the gears. amsterdam of

the city caught between proud tradition and moral decline but it still expects to host a record $25000000.00 tourists next year. many villages here in europe are under threat from 2 population young people work elsewhere and elderly are left behind in spain the rural exit us has left the country dotted with ghosts villages except the village of. a small community is doing everything they can to keep it alive this slip proof walkway is just one of the many ways life is made easier their 1st year citizens and the community is thriving. it's a busy day for press corps a shuttle service it's her day at the village day center 15 elderly people need to be brought to their appointments. this is unfair on martin.

he says a stream was long overdue he's turning 94 next week so he wants to look as best. uncurl lives alone he says he has no trouble managing since he's still fit he would hate to live in a retirement home because that would mean leaving his village and moving to the next city. you're you know that the center is all i need yeah i'm happy here you know i get my meals every day and i get to sleep back there in my room it works. just in case elderly citizens have cell phones equipped with a red button that colds emergency services. i'm just showing how the phone works good that's a relief. yes thank god you were probably thinking i'd fallen or something.

spain has thousands of villages left. around 170 residents live here and 70 percent are over 65 most younger people left the village for the city in search of jobs then some 10 years ago the local council rang the alarm bells that was dying out the population was killing. one. another when i hear you know if a grandfather has to move out of his home his children and grandchildren will stop visiting so it's about more than a single individual it affects the whole village. once the elderly go there's no turning around. instead of waiting for the point of no return the people of press corps a set to work in the village now anyone who has trouble walking can use the blue empty slip pots which help both those with walkers or wheelchairs. they're also 100 miles along house from. the

center has room for almost 30 people during the day it offers an exercise program therapy a laundry service and lunch for just $250.00 euros per month per square is helping its elderly and the elderly are helping their village montana longest works as a cook in the center originally from her school as a she spent many years in the city working in a restaurant. when she heard about a vacancy in the center 3 years ago she returned to reveal which unhappily left behind the under knitting and stress of the restaurant. and come out over here it's like we're a family people treat each other differently if they all know one another and a relative of yours is here right your money away guess my gramma eat out exactly yeah she's a little confused these days. and they go away happy because he she gets treated well adelaide i'm happy at least one turn alumnus feels better when she's near her

grandmother that she isn't the only one who was able to return to the village because a job opened up at the center if others found a job there immediately so they never had to leave a search for squares or has got younger again. the village does a lot to ensure that elderly people stay mobile and that they can continue to do things they've always enjoyed doing. i mean your son son goes fishing with their electric scooter the 8 year old loves the tranquility here and wouldn't want to live anywhere else. i was born here and i want to die here. my daughter is in barcelona as a my grandchildren and i'm still here all my needs are met by the day center i'm good my photos and comartin still is 2 cows he grew up farming for him

being able to go outside and take care of animals every day is very important if they ever look they even kissed my head oh. all right because she doesn't want to right now she thinks i have another tree. they're all gone you know whether i have a lot of fun with them. that until still often feels lonely the sonora as he calls or died last year and he misses her terribly to be god overcommit i mean if you but he still has almost everything else from his younger days and he's always grateful for that. would you this robin you wouldn't well for locals on the island we are about to visit it's a delicacy they enjoy either grilled or marinated it's her dish and that dates back centuries in cyprus that's where millions of migratory birds stop over in autumn as

they make their way south and despite a trapping ban the black market for songbirds there is. some see the traditional dish as part of their culture one they are not willing to part with even though many species are under threat birds get tangled in the nets of ruthless poachers. besides. it's 2 in the morning sergeant michael zaccaria and his colleague curiosity was curious who have received an anonymous tip off. there have been renewed sightings of illegal bird trappers in the british military bases. the police officers set off to a remote field that's known to attract migratory birds the trappers make off at the last minute but leave evidence of their illegal activities behind the net to capture the wild birds you hear that were there any books no no no no no very very because it was sitting here on the ground is

a signaling device. and dozens of dead black caps. the sovereign base areas police are shocked. i think it's about time that everyone under 20 stunned you cannot be hoppin we've had enough yes and this is it and by our presence or never location on the poachers the criminal it's nice to know that we're going to be there. the police secure the evidence later they also find the culture's vehicle the next day they hand themselves in they face fines of up to 5000 euros but not all cypriot police forces are determined to clamp down on illegal bird trapping as they are here. an estimated half a 1000000 songbirds are tracked and killed illegally on cyprus every year most of them are migratory birds on their way south they're considered

a delicacy. cypriot conservationists want to put a stop to this illegal killing anti-poaching laws have been tightened under pressure from the e.u. but they're not always enforced. and especially you would have this uproar from the politicians their politicians would come and say we need to talk of these and then there's a few things down to. these and either from the judges when the judges they hire and they hand out very low sentences he didn't make those then forces on the ground feel powerless because they are there for to catch a serious poacher it and then their jobs causing gives 500 unifying but far from stepping up the pressure many politicians appear to be sympathetic to the poachers this m.p. was photographed about to tuck into the local dish. which is made with songbirds.

many cypriots say bird trapping is a local tradition and that the international community should be less concerned with amberleigh pulling out and focus instead on expelling turkish armed forces from the north of the island. everybody would be one of the 3. i ate some. conservationists use hidden cameras to capture footage of illegal bird trappers the poachers are willing to risk being caught because they can earn so much money with the songbirds up to 10 year olds per bird on the black market but the activists are determined every morning members of the organisation birdlife cypress go out on patrol they need to be vigilant attacks on conservationists by poachers are not uncommon that's why they want to remain anonymous through. they're looking for evidence of trap or activity it is rare that they manage to rescue birds they're caught not only with missed nets but also with lime sticks so their

deaths are often agonizing. these days the poachers are part of organized criminal networks. with other crimes like prostitution and racketeering and. you know all these drugs and stuff so yeah it can be quite intimidating for local law enforcement but still i don't think enough is being done in the thickly hill lab or i see that they're quite upset that the proper bird trappers distance themselves from the bird mafia the newly formed cypress hunters party argues that the only way to tackle illegal poaching is to decriminalize bird hunting on cyprus as a whole the party is hoping to enter parliament in the next election. people there were trying to find other ways to do the d.v.d. most of the times you need got a ways so then dummy that is just a it's been done it's much worse from legal. and this is what people have to

understand in departing yemen and maybe also people who do you. but conservationists disagree they believe that legalizing hunting would result in the complete disappearance of songbirds on cypress they're planning to carry on their campaign against illegal poaching until the e.u. law on the protection of wild birds is properly enforced now we'll introduce you to a man who once had an extremely dangerous job he used to be a russian fighter pilot and accident left him paralyzed but he still remains a fighter realm in iran and refused to let his disability restrict his freedom so he designed a special wheelchair that enables him to visit his favorite places he is proof that in order to move freely you don't necessarily have to stand on 2 feet. no man iranian has fulfilled his dream of getting close to the sing. off but yes

sure so true freedom is when you want to go somewhere and you just drive off over sand or to a pretty woman. i want to go to the sea and i drove to the sea that's freedom really grates you feel fully human for those who shared some joy back to life with an electric wheelchair 15 years ago everything suddenly changed for him from one day to the next the former fighter pilot suffered severe spinal injuries in apparently the accident and was paralyzed from the neck down for 6 months to get only of his eyes and facial muscles after he noticed how difficult it was to move around in a wheelchair in everyday life he came up with the idea of an off road. 3 spot when a move of this wheelchair is a 4 wheel drive vehicle reporter it's like a tank more or the other more you might ruin the lower bits but you can turn around

on the spots there which would be if women built his 1st offer a wheelchair in 2009 just for himself but he quickly realized there was a demand for them a company and callinan grad now manufactures them its 30 employees including 8 wheelchair users the company offers people with disabilities the prospect of getting a decent useful job. with the wheelchairs that the state provides usually don't do the job but. there are too many obstacles and cities stares everywhere like curbs. you can't even get into many shops and. roman iranian is living his dream of freedom and wants to make it possible for other wheelchair users in russia to. now he's also pushing for better disabled access in kaliningrad he thinks few obstacles will mean increased mobility for disabled people. thanks for watching focus on europe do get in touch with us and let us
