welcome to. the eternal w. . hello and a warm welcome to focus on europe i will are about to lower 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 airy delights such as

meat cheese and fish the food is so treasured that it was named a unesco world heritage and 2010 but now a battle is raging over these a very foods by a group of vegans they want all animal products banned from food production they used radical methods against butchers restaurants and merchants to get their message across steve inskeep suna has experienced their wrath 1st hand he owns an organic butchery in paris's sound called tom market hall that's where the activists targeted his shop and attacked him. 6 o'clock in the morning at the sunken tom markets stevens consumer is prepping a stall he's a mechanic but your only handles meat from animals that are kept in accordance with her 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 beaconsfield 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. it all went very fast. i went around the counter and a fight broke out. i broke a rib. and couldn't work for a week and could see me the attackers belong to an international association based in the french city of strasburg. there we met the swedish student just because stuff said. it is. it's been proven that a vegan diet is sufficient for all age groups so why keep on slaughtering animals it's not makes me sick. we live in

a system in which people base their existence on that's a murder. every day 3000000 animals are murdered in france. 21. of the stops and thinks the attack on butcher bassoon a stall 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 and will 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 feeding but he's not afraid he could lose this

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 i talk about 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. to get them out. never the less radical vegans are gaining ground in france they shake a purser's by which shark auctions hoping to make france a frontrunner in the fight against the consumption of animal products. but that. may have fuel be considered in other countries like the ukraine or the us but i hope that radical action comes from us here in france we don't need to be millions . we'll forceful i don't know what actions were 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. limited worship or was it my trade is my entire life 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 we stop at most 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 professional set up morally unacceptable must disappear there are no more executioners either there were no longer needed and a profession disappeared that. moderates and the rights activists in france are suspicious of such radicalism get got here has been fighting for unaware fair 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 the. basic needs to consume is closing the student since the attack 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 a passion and will continue doing so reflective of. kisumu billy's e o's it's a friends the land of going a cuisine. so what do you think should delicacies such as fog watch 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 am as for soccer team from diyarbakir turkey a kurdish stronghold supporters of the club make no secret of their true just dried 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 away game. yet again for 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 come to guarantee security for just 30 to 40 away fans. provocations never originate from our side. we're close promoting

understanding the piece. 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 us friends every time. it's not fair. and it hurts that you see it 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 at s'pore loses 50. club president met and killed was russians out of the stadium. at least this time the team and club

officials are spared being beaten up unlike in october. 2 creamers all damp in 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. have stopped counting how many minutes as we've played without them up this will be unheard of around 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 a current 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 curve was removed by the government the accusation supporting terrorism now portraits of president aired of on line the streets. met in kill of us

a lawyer by profession has witnessed the decline of democracy in his hometown he himself has been indicted several times. today no running press conference or any of the 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 for players have also been repeatedly targeted by the authorities striker dennys nothing 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 persons. whether there turkish or kurdish many players don't want to play and care anymore

give 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 maintain kill of those wants to keep this club alive as part of kurdish identity in turkey. we live in turkey fight for our rights here and for a country where everyone can voice their opinion without fear of repercussion messages and that's what defines ahmed spalls let me get on a sport that. 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 cool 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 should be decided so early on robben from the south get there has been in 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 and dissolve skittered 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 family 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 court has done a terrific then i could understand why my parents told me to learn a trade to move to something less risky as meaning of the sickle. but i was a bit rebellious and i told myself i need to get out of here and do what's right

for me was the house and that's why i was dismissed and. at 16 robyn decided to carry on to high school to get a diploma and for some stock what my father was a heavy drinker and got very angry and he used to get very loud. and stand at a he went up into my room because of my decision to stay in school and wrecked it and i mean once everything's i guess that's a night's robin moved out he's still in good terms with his mother and sister. i can talk until he couldn't study at home the television was always player 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 robin studies mertz and philosophy in brown strike showing

a sister around at his university. she's currently studying for a high school diploma and wants to become a teacher. yes 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. up many of my friends from that decision difficult job. why not they all managed to achieve something yeah. let me tell you about it. on this mr carter. he tells the students that 19 of his former classmates went on to learn

a trade. for in 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. 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 10th grade. just like the student robert sometimes wonders of higher education is the right choice for him. today's meeting cedras an old 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 in

plans to get a master craftsman certificates or. maybe even start his own business. and for me things are not as clear everything is much more open there's still a certain risk to settle this is a cool. robin has at least 2 more years of studying ahead of him for his university degree. hot stuff for. myself that 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 field or are you worried about the future yes yes. taking a ride in cedric's to meet up gov 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 nations like lithuania were suffering from brain drain as young people left for opportunities elsewhere so the former soviet state came up with a plan to stem the flow and now lithuania is wooing investors with its business friendly policies its capital vilnius is cosmopolitan innovative and above all affordable people like eustace yet now schools are helping shape the country's future bringing lithuanians abroad back home. little weenies capital vilnius is growing vertically and clothing promising the baltic metropolis has become a focal point for writing talents and draws many young people here they're developing the digital world of tomorrow use does you now sickest is the country's own mark zuckerberg he's $35.00 and has turned multiple start

idea was used this is a stepping stone into the startup world 10 years ago but once the company's turnover moved into millions if he withdrew from day to day operations. these are now run dry thomas plantin 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 in tulsa 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 spirit in the lithuanian eye she said earlier young people would leave the country over aging is a serious problem. but then lithuania us government decided to lend its full support to the startup sector it invested in broadband expansion and the founding

of companies was simplified last year 611 startups were registered in lithuania over 6 years more than $4300.00 jobs have been created for a better route to kenya had to be organization stopped up lithuania making lithuania's i.t. sector more visible around the world everyone is digital everyone is going so lithium doesn't want to be a low priced country low price producers and you know any more we want to be in the relations and country so we are trying to create a start of paradise here. lithuania is eager to get emigrants to return to their home country and many young lithuanians who studied and worked abroad are in fact coming back. like 33 year old monica cooter who worked as a london based media manager but decided the job wasn't for her.

in london i will go discover your path that i'm not interested in and i want to make things i can actually live in lisztomania live in my country are on such days to meet with my friends but my bringing in my solutions can travel globally and i think it's very very attractive. back home in vilnius monica founded it invites a company that wants to help children understand the digital age it all starts with you being curious about what you can create and i would love our kids not to lose that sense of curiosity and to carry it with them and use it doesn't. real real biological too. complimented with less available in the world now. eustace dreams of turning business into eastern europeans silicon valley. everything he takes in dogs growth seeds i'm hateful now out for a while who unsurprisingly have their very own instagram account.

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 sees himself as a scribe not an artist he's proud of being people this tattoo artist in europe 70 years ago his motifs 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. in the 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
