from the quality to flash from calls like a good time this is where it was. welcome to the 77 percent. this week. hello and a warm welcome to focus on europe i will are about below glad you could join us french cuisine is famous the world over so you may be surprised to hear that it's at the heart of a cultural war living the good life in france includes cullen area delights such as a neat cheese and fish the food is so treasure and that it was named a unesco world heritage in 2010. but

now a battle is raging over these a very foods by a group of begins they want all animal products banned from food production they used radical methods against butchers restaurants and merchants to get their message across stephens just to now has experienced their wrath firsthand he owns an organic what's your real paris is sound going to market hall that's where the activists targeted his shop and attacked him. 6 o'clock in the morning at the sunken tom archives stevens consumer is prepping the stall he's in again to butcher only handles meat from animals that are kept in accordance with a gun extern hundreds he's having a hard time understanding the world. this summer his stand was attacked by a group of militant deviants they poured red paint on his goods the biggest film

the attack putting the pictures on the internet. you know. when i looked up 15 or 20 people were standing there shouting their slogans for the animals where. it all went very fast you know. i went around the counter and a fight broke out. you know i broke a rib some of them couldn't work for a week and could feed the attackers belong to an international association based in the french city of strasburg. there we met the swedish student just because stops and. you know mr carmel. it's been proven that vegan diet is sufficient for all age groups so why keep on slaughtering animals on ice it's not makes me sick. we live in a system in which people base their existence on for some work. every day 3000000 animals some noted 10 france. 21.

of all the stops and thinks the attack on butcher consumer style is absolutely justified the fact the consumer is an organic butcher and cares about the welfare of the animals is a relevant to him. according to radical vegans the french should also do with cheese because they say dairy industry is cruel to animals. hon products should be banned as a matter of principle in the country of cuisine this causes some indignation. whether mussels from normandy or jump on the beyond many french delicacies i made from animal products french cuisine even has unesco's world cultural heritage protection. also people like restaurant owner florian p.r.t. could be targeted by the militant feedings but he's not afraid he could lose his customers. if you try to all those people

you've only got a fair bit of it they're not going to eat less meat. and that's focused on the contrary they'll develop a counter-reaction and say to themselves this is annoying now i'm going to eat meat more than ever. again on my own. never the less radical vegans are gaining ground in france they shake a purses by which shark auctions hoping to make france a front runner in the fight against the consumption of animal products. but that controller may have fewer be considered in other countries like the ukraine or the us but i hope that ready correction comes from us here in france we don't need to be millions. we are forceful i don't know what actions we release animals from the stables and rescue them from slaughter. stevens consumer is deeply shocked that he is a butcher was targeted by these activists. related worship or was it my trade is my

entire life but if a customer comes back and tells me that the meat was particularly good then i'm really happy it's great i'm at a loss for words but up north of. the existence of butchers like assume it is completely irrelevant to activists just because starting in view of the suffering of animals he says the profession is trivial. limits to the professional set of morally unacceptable must disappear there are no more executioners either there were no longer needed and the profession disappeared in spite of. moderates and the rights activists in france are suspicious of such radicalism get got here has been fighting for on a move welfare for years she doesn't believe that violent action will be successful . when you throw stones at butcher shops it's suddenly all about whether you are allowed to eat meat or not. the question of how the animals are actually treated is

completely forgotten. basic nights consumed is closer to stern since it's not in the shop he's grateful for every peaceful day when nothing bad happens. when you'd walk with me there's no way i'm giving up my job i started my apprenticeship at 14 and now i'm 34 i do this with passion and will continue doing so refer to the. pursuit of billy's e o's a difference the land of going to cuisine. so what do you think should delicacies such as fog wa and tar tar be bad and let me know your thoughts on twitter soccer is nothing without fans words from a legendary scottish coach they are the heart of the game and can inspire players when the chips are down so what happens when a team is denied its fans it's a reality for the ahmed's for soccer team from diyarbakir turkey a kurdish stronghold supporters of the club but make no secret of their tradition

pride and many turkish nationalists see them as a threat so when the 1st whistle is sounded during a match like here in the city of tarsus politics are often brought on to the pitch . 2nd turkish division club med spore is getting ready for the relegation battle in tarsus a city by the mediterranean the team boss is about to leave for the stadium and the club president expects a tough awake and. yet again its core fans are not allowed onto the grounds this has been going on for years now the official reason being security concerns the fans that came nevertheless are disappointed comping guarantee security for just 30 to 40 away fans. provocations never originate from our side. we're close promoting understanding the peace to this. in route to the stadium the team's bus

is accompanied by an armored police vehicle apparently because the club's president and his players are from the kurdish stronghold. and. nobody's bought the debt we need to travel without our friends every time so it's not fair. and it hurts that you see in the stadium the police are out in force the kurdish visitors are greeted by the turkish national colors. the match is not going well for the opposing fans shout this is tarsus i won't get out of here again in the end i'm in s'pore loses 50. club president met and killed 1st russians out of the stadium. at least this time the team and club officials are spared being beaten up unlike in october. the grim result dampen the players' mood since the authorities banned their fans they've

been on a steady decline. 'd of course we'd love to have her fans supporting us. i've stopped counting how many matches we've played without them this will be inherited round the world. even after the match waiting fans aren't allowed near their team and kill of us and his players have to wait to the police always let them out of the stadium last quoting security reasons. the kurdish city of dealbreakers home to ahmed spore is set on the banks of the 2 chris river in the past there were recurring violent clashes between kurdish nationals and the turkish state here. the elected mayor of a kurd was removed by the government the accusation supporting terrorism now portraits of president aired of on line the streets. met in kill of was a lawyer by profession has witnessed the decline of democracy in his hometown he

himself has been indicted several times. today you know reading press conference or any other public expression of opinion are allowed in this city anymore. but the kurdish question needs to be solved if we succeed in that. could become a beautiful place on this earth. but there still seems to be a long road ahead ahmed spore players have also been repeatedly targeted by the authorities striker dennys not he was born in germany 3 years ago he had to appear in court on terrorist propaganda charges he had publicly criticized turkish security forces after returning to germany his car was shot at on the highway by unknown person. whether they're turkish or kurdish many players don't want to play and care anymore kill of us struggles to find sponsors his club faces

being financially ruined the new stadium on the city's outskirts won't change that either but made to kill of us want to keep this club alive as part of kurdish identity in turkey is to kill the oceans we live in turkey by sure right here and for a country where everyone can voice their opinion without fear of repercussion as it is and that's what defines our mental let me get on a sport. he hopes the story of the only kurdish professional football club in turkey continues even with empty stands and if necessary. germany is unique in europe for its 3 tears school system it divides children into different high schools based on their primary school grades and only one type of secondary school grants access to a university education critics say the system discriminates against children from lower income families and that one's future path shouldn't be decided so early on

robin from his outfit there has been the odds and is on track to graduate from university still he is plagued by doubts and worries about his future. robin is there and a high school diploma no small feat to dissolve schizo industrial region where only one in 4 youngsters achieve this that's only half the german average. in germany it still matters tremendously into what kind of a funny kids are born into it. and i don't i mean i want schools my parents became unemployed and we suddenly faced a whole new situation as a family of them i think they're not quite understand why my parents told me to learn a trade and something less risky really got his sickle. but i was a triple yes and i told myself i need to get out of fear and do what's right for me and that's why i was. at 16 robin decided to

carry on to high school to get a diploma my father. my father was a heavy drinker and got very angry and he used to get very loud. and that day he went up into my room because of my decision to stay in school and directed at him against everything i did. that same night robyn moved out he's still in good terms with his mother and sister. and confidants that he couldn't study at home the television was always blair and my husband would have it on while he slept we couldn't turn it off i didn't think robin would pull this off to be honest. because of today robyn studies months and philosophy in brown strike showing a sister around that is university. she's currently studying for a high school diploma and wants to become a teacher. as a father he's

a role model because he managed to achieve all those things i want to do he's an inspiration. robin meets his former mentor she's from a private foundation called studio on campus that helps some 1300 youngsters from working class families graduated from high school and adopted to university life because in germany these kids don't enjoy the same educational opportunities others do. i think a lot still needs to improve when it comes to equality of opportunity and education . today a person social background still largely determines that person's opportunities in life and what kind of education they get i think a lot of potential is left untapped in this way. katherine philip mentor robin joining us final stages in high school and the 1st year at university that's

important because studies show that students from nonacademic parents are far less likely to pursue a doctorate. in germany a person's background still largely determines that person's life chances and career prospects more so than in most other european countries. today robbins back at his old school talking to 10th graders might be deciding soon whether to remain in school to qualify for uni or to learn a trade. many of my friends that decision difficult. one but they all managed to achieve something that's not in let me tell you about it. and that's what is referred to that's here. he tells the students that 19 of his former classmates went on to learn a trade. for earn the technical diploma and only here and serve got a high school diploma. it's interesting i'm interested in medicine and that's why

i've applied to become a nurse i've got a job interview coming up. but someday i would like to become a doctor. but for that you need to attend university. studio. my teacher suggested i do ok so training which i didn't know what i should do at the time. just like the student robin sometimes wonders of higher education is the right choice for him today's meeting say today and all school friend of his who left school after 10th grade to become a car mechanic. an engineering degree would have been interesting anything with technology. so why didn't you roll it university this is. well it's a big deal. i was scared i wouldn't pass my exams and all that. good money and plans to get a master craftsman certificate soon. and maybe even start his own business.

for me things are not as clear everything is much more open there's still a certain risk some of us is a cool. robin has at least 2 more years of studying ahead of him for his university degree. hot stuff for. myself i'm up wasting my time doing this of course it would be disappointing to take up a job but my degree is of no use to realize that i should have made a good living like cedric the feeling are you worried about the future yes yes. taking a ride in cedric's to talk golf wondering whether they've taken the right decisions for the future. well many countries in europe are struggling to cope with immigration others are feeling the effects of emigration

run by thomas plantinga who came to visit the us one and a half years ago because everybody is really in a mall it lets you know let's just build stuff and let's make this a better place i want to work hard i will get like a better future and that is something that is ingrained in everybody so you have a sharp analytical mindset very strong work into us and that brings a different type of energy and a different type of the livery then you get. from teams in germany in the netherlands there's an optimistic spirits in the lithuanian i few seconds earlier young people would leave the country over religion is a serious problem. but then lithuania's government decided to lend it to support to the startup sector it invested in broadband expansion and the founding of companies with simplified last year 611 startups were registered in lithuania over 6 years

always has been seen in through the history is always this small and they're a developed nation and we have this kind of stigma about ourselves and when you have this stigma it's a big motivation to the u.k. we will show that it's not the case and then you can go extra mile. the way that i thought but you can start to see with id pioneers keen to conquer the tech world and it certainly got the ideas to make it happen. now i would like to introduce your to europe's oldest tattoo artist he may even be the world's oldest working one at $87.00 price from plymouth england has lost count of how many people he's tattooed and though his clientele has changed over the decades doc says there's one thing that has stood the test of time. how does

a small shop implement a living legend darryl dr pryce age 87 and day in day out he works on human bodies he's worn out hundreds of machines and season self as a scribe not an artist he's proud of being the oldest tattoo artist in europe 70 years ago his motives were for criminals sailors ladies of love nowadays they're for the rich and poor young and old that's for business the fine line between love and hate. the love business to to assume the love this with full of all because of this. as a relationship that was opened. his 1st tattoo in 1945 he was 13 his mother was furious and was about to be him until she saw the word mother.
