i. am i am i. am we are and i. am currently am. hello and welcome to focus on europe i'm a lot about a lola thanks for being with us europe's refugee crisis continues on abated to thousands of migrants are stuck in bosnia herzegovina living in squalid conditions the e.u. and human rights groups have warned that the makeshift refugee camps are a danger food and medical care are scarce and now the threat of winter is looming

and with no heating available at the camps there are worries that the cold weather will be deadly it's a path that sounds of migrants have traveled over the balkans to reach the e.u. but the croatian border is impassable for most making this the end of the road for many who have made it to bosnia herzegovina local and national authorities can't agree on a solution leaving migrants stranded and news ribble conditions and in the town of be hatched the crisis is escalating there asylum seekers are being housed on a former landfill and officials want them to stay put. at least there's a power generator in northern bosnia's boucek migrant camp so abdulla freddy can help those here charge their phones. that what you know. hundreds of men mainly from pakistan and afghanistan have been living here for the past 6 months the site used to be

a garbage dump and now many residents are suffering from escapees pneumonia or other serious diseases which have is currently the most perilous migrant camp in europe that they stay because the e.u. border is just a few kilometers away and dad will be able to do their work here today going across the bishop are going to croatia and e.u. member states lies just over these mountains there are so many times up to try to get very very very hard. to get high and to fight for secure but remember the words to really get you know this. if it were united in their jurisdiction but you know and partly and it was but i do know there is going to be sure to join you on. the other the police sent up to let freddy straight back to the camp as. the winter is approaching fast and that means there could soon be up to 2 metres of snow so

there's not much time left to try to flee it's money. it's an appalling conditions you know people that i haven't been going to you know having meetings. at the isolated makeshift camp was set up in the summer. up to 2 times per day levoxyl fitch has a tank truck filled with drinking water for the migrants the head of b. hatch a civil protection directorate is trying his best to keep living conditions from terri orating even further which occupied it and so has been left to itself in the source the civil protection directorate got involved to prevent infectious diseases from spreading in the camp to the tune of behind. god the. over the past 2 years more and more migrants arrived in the area a growing number of locals have grown annoyed by the situation including employees of the hatches waterworks thank you both bad enough it's a tough situation for these migrants for for the locals to the situation needs to change you can hardly walk through town anymore without seeing migrants there are

more migrants the locals now. be had just full of migrants hoping to make it to the neighboring e.u. . 2 years ago there were an estimated $200.00 now it's believed there are over $5000.00 and around the town. then last summer the local authorities opened food check and brought them there. be touch mare sure at fast insisted on the camping set up. companies to stay open. to choose between the people have been harsh on the one hand and the migrants on the other away from the hatch. meanwhile civil protection had lived back of it of it has arrived into a check with fresh drinking water the migrants depend on help from the local community. food is supplied by the local red cross.

the problem is that we have not received any help from the federation or the state of bosnia and herzegovina and 35 weeks. was still like. night there seem to care that the campus situated in a minefield left over from the bosnian war. locals feel they've been abandoned. bosnia and herzegovina has struggled to set up migrant camps elsewhere because of its complicated political situation a legacy of the bosnian war in the 1990 s. . the hatches mayor had suggested opening a new migrant camp 60 kilometers further south on this dispute. farm in a serbian enclave. of the people of serbian mayor de haan proceeds categorically rejected the idea of coquetry by the water with the residue we barely have any common assured agreements of this country to the others not coming to the town of be how to solve the migrant crisis this way but the regional authorities

here in northwest bosnia want to take a different approach and then we also have republican serbska as well as international aid groups that's all things are in bosnia and herzegovina there's no coordination no common plan. and the other migrants are stranded in the camp with nowhere to go. and the 1st snow is expected soon. spain is preparing to host this year's world climate summit in madrid and ahead of the event the country's president reaffirmed his commitment to a greener future but away from the capital an ecological disaster is threatening to destroy europe's largest salt water law gruen fish are dying on mass in marman or in southern spain it's a disturbing sight that is costing fishermen like manual martinez their livelihoods . this lagoon is their life manuel martinez and ruben

baca a fisherman by choice it's a labor of love they work in the mama north in the south of spain it's the largest salt water the good in europe. but i mean if it means a lot to me. it's more than a good it's a mother what about these waters fetus provider daily bread. but the lagoon is slowly perishing a few weeks ago dead fish were found washed up on shore that suffocated the fisherman still can't believe it's. the. fish in the lagoon have never died on such a large scale before the fishermen seem to know what is the plain. pollution has been a problem here for a long time and. comes from the towns and from farming. everything gets

flushed into mana new and. causing bacteria that destroy the seabed. which then leads to a lack of oxygen in the water. that will put in a little. the fishermen have hung up their nets and mom and often now in an effort to protect the remaining fish sales were falling anyway due to concerns about contamination at the same time efforts have been stepped up to find out what's causing the catastrophe like the fishermen environmental activists are convinced the problem stems from the lagoons in thats. an unhealed one of their all say that water contaminated by an over use of fertilizers is entering the good and for. the out what both ground and surface water enters the lagoon from intensively farmed fields. and it's full of nitrates. and fit but i think. it's clear that the agric. actual sector is responsible for this pollution. but

it's doing nothing about it and i think that what i mean i think a lot of. test indicate that much of the pollution comes from the pond and behind the lagoon where broccoli let is an artichoke saw grow some fields have apparently been irrigated illegally. but farmers like mine or the martinez refute such claims he says more farmers are switching to more modern irrigation systems which allow them to use fewer fertilizers he says the real culprit is the weather. i get when i am going to the mental load. people have to realise that in the last few years we have experienced torrential rainfall. which in september for example lead to larger amounts of water on washed away from the fields and to deliver. a model at all. fishermen agree that climate change is making the situation worse

they say it's precisely why pharma should reduce fertiliser use and they say it's a political issue too because those in power have been too lax with restrictions on the culture. regional government has done nothing to improve things. for years we've been telling them our minority is in a dire state. alarm and. regional government says it's up to madrid to introduce tougher regulations. that are going to put years of instability in spain's central government have left the region to deal with the issue on its own. and in mice not just the reputation of the lagoon or of this region that this is at stake here. what's at stake is the environmental reputation of all of spain you know we have to learn from this this time. i found the solution was number 3

about i'm going to have some new field by the time such a solution is found it could be too late to manuel martinez another local to support some already planning to sell the boat it might be years before fish stocks return to normal. i don't know what to do i mean for my fish it is my life. i have been doing it for 1314 years. my family is christy's waters for 4 or 5 generations i can't do anything else. although there is little demand for fish from the waters of maman or right now some fishermen still try their luck like the lagoon they too are struggling to supply. ships scotland be an independent country and it 2014 referendum the majority said no and the country remained

a part of the united kingdom but now braves it has reignited the debate around scotland sovereignty staying in the u.k. leaving that something that hundreds of thousands of scots have protested against while the country's 1st minister is pushing for a 2nd referendum in 2021 george or mr ancestors settled in scotland centuries ago and the flute maker from stirling believes that it's time for the country to disentangle itself from the united kingdom. george ormus then says it's the wood that sets the piece for his work and that's exactly what he loves about his job he's a qualified engineer before more than 40 years he's been earning a living through his passion making wooden flutes. it won't make him wealthy but that's not important to him. he says in this regard he's very scottish just like his family. the owner since calling from

a long line of scots who could be traced back to the year 547 george says scotland is home and not the u.k. i have a feeling of being scottish 1st of all. but then all the same time have the feeling of being european i'm not i don't really feel british because to be honest i don't really know what british has. as a sailor knowing you can give a name to something you can draw a line on a war but that doesn't mean that us what as an os what people feel in the hot. during the referendum 5 years ago he voted for independence but a clear majority of scots were against independence back then. castle is near george's workshop. the union jack of the united kingdom still flooded demonstrating the union of england wales northern ireland and scotland.

unity which would mean equality on the husband been quality of discourse have always been made to feel 2nd class well i give you an example of the scottish buying to have their own money the have their own power and you know it and i went up to feel 20 no saving 24 of money and. so these are the kind of things like so it's difficult. just south of stirling castle is the town of panic burnt 800 years ago the scots triumphed here against the english army an important victory for many it's the symbol of scottish independence even if the balance of power repeatedly shifted in the centuries the following. the story of the battle is digitally simulated at the memorials visitor center.

like scotland itself the visitors here are also divided on which direction star should take we've stuck together for 300 years and it's been to the benefit of both countries and i would rank i would like it to continue nauset friend above all the north bay and thus one after the open having said that i may be tempted to vote yes us time you know if that ever happen i want to buy and yeah i think i probably will for you know. scotland's independence was decided by the 2014 referendum but now because of brags that the debate is again making the headlines. according to a recent survey there are currently more scots in favor of independence now than there have been in the last 7 years 50 percent. the scottish national party sees this as their chance. alan smith will stand in the upcoming parliamentary elections he must win staring back from the tories his chances aren't bad not least of all because boris johnson and his breadth of

policies are deeply unpopular in scotland. we were told we were a partnership of equals a family of nations but then we voted strongly to remain within the e.u. and the u.k. voted as a whole to leave when we were told that it doesn't matter shut up it's about what is the election more about directly go in. there they're absolutely linked because of brags that we're being taken out of the european union against our will if we were independent that would not be the case. in a british parliaments without a clear majority the scottish nationalists could become kingmakers. they've already announced that they would only support a government if it in turn agrees to a 2nd referendum on independence. even if a 2nd referendum is held george ormiston is not sure whether majority of the scots would be in favor of independence. but they'd be in the end just like it's flutes

independence just needs time. time is also needed to heal the atrocities that took place during the 2nd world war in the winter of $945.00 the red army began its advance on berlin to defeat hitler the german village of class and was reduced to rubble as the verum act tried in vain to stop the soviets almost 75 years later millions of soldiers are still listed as missing across europe and one special association is working to give the fallen soldiers of the war a final resting place as an act of compassion carried out regardless of the soldier's uniform. anthropologist. and italian student louder through carefully removed from around the skeleton. they're looking for clues about the age and identity of the deceased. they believe

he was a young soviet soldier. who wouldn't cakes and the dead were left on the battlefield when the war ended because there were too many bodies to bury up its cup at sea they were often placed in military trenches or shallow pits then covered with sweat and for. 3945 heavy fighting east of berlin near the river order claimed the lives of thousands of german and soviet soldiers many of the war dead still like here. now members of the association for the recovery of the fallen in eastern europe excavating the old trenches. at the 2 annual excavations they've already exuma the remains of more than $200.00 soldiers. you're happy because you find them but you know if you have a lot of problems how do you take him out right is anything broken so there is of course excited because you found him there is problems that you have to solve as

well. experts from across europe historians and for politest an archaeologist are collaborating on this project. they do this work on a volunteer basis using their vacation time to look for soldiers remains one group of volunteers is from russia. and. we don't think it's right that soldiers who fought against fascism or german soldiers lie here in the fields and forests or in russian swamps. and in those neighborhoods and. they should be buried in dignified places where you live in military cemeteries where people can go one on or their memory that. i'll push. the chairman of the association board in it's the work he says the fact that volunteers from the ukraine and russia dickhead together it's an important sign of reconciliation together they can get back dignity to the foreman of the 2nd world war. is in here but we're here because

we want to resolve the fates of these soldiers who senselessly lost their young lives at least give them back their names with dignity with a proper grave in the name of this god having it done on it. in order to later identify the dead the volunteers carefully remove the remains from the ground and look for dog tags or personal items the moving find the greater the chance of identifying them and notifying families that their missing relative has been found this rarely happens but 23 year old danielle hammond has experienced it once all of us are tired of this was one moment for. that was a moment when i realize that this is hugely important work for them. with their efforts and a few leftover papers that were lying around somewhere for 70 years the person's fate could be revealed i'm long. in the district 6 like i'm going for her.

the next day the volunteers and guests gather to military cemetery to bury the remains of 15 german soldiers in a solemn ceremony. and but only as in the burrough's are always very emotional for us so let me do this to give the soldiers their last place of rest and it's now with button can and this is also the end of one year of research so it's almost like i follow the days that all across their cycle from there emerges from the ground with everybody else and that's something quite powerful to behold. next spring the volunteers hope to return and search for more foreign soldiers thousands more remain in the area undiscovered. and everyone here knows that only a small number of them at the beach every couple. the

eiffel tower those then and ship wandering through the streets of paris it's not a prank or protest but one man's quest to bring more country to the capital for a brief time the french city is forced to slow down while the shepherd counts as sheep. this is hardly an everyday occurrence in paris. but one that might become a little more frequent thanks to give. and his flock of sheep. to the people his young. son those who live in the area know their region least well it has a chance to discover their region at the speed of sheep i.e. very slowly 1.7 kilometers an hour like them at. the speed of sheep doesn't seem to be a problem in the big city. of course the group only crosses when the light is green and the traffic police is there to make sure everyone gets across safely. that the

sheep even find something to nibble on. and take a liking to the urban playgrounds. yet. tourists and locals alike seem enchanted. this is be the 1st time this great. time for rest and for lunch. and there's no doubt that the local children don't mind sharing their patch with these gas. pads fake only as the mayor of a paris suburb and the chair of the greater paris metropolis which has provided the funds for this project to make the area in and around paris greener.

we want to double the area there are currently $102.00 farms on about 2000 hectares . 5000 by 2030 people very ambitious those are. the sheep are somewhat less ambitious as they make their way through the city i was out. even with its $7000000.00 inhabitants paris boasts a few green areas where the sheep can graze they provide free fertiliser all the plants are particularly tasty in the wealthy 16th or on the small the flock currently has about 20 guests shepherds some spending just a few hours others a few days. it's really interesting to see how animals can also find a place in the city to see how the space can be used. in the new move i feed in time. he'll mend his sheep live in la canoes

just outside of paris. healthy fodder is important pay provides fiber and it's mostly produced without pesticides here. so gillum sheep are popular with some of paris's top chefs. the leader of the school don't look pretty distant there have been scandals so now the idea is to bring back some order reestablish control over what we eat with us when think about what used to be done then everyone can make up their own mind has disappeared like so. after a week in the big city the sheep are visibly exhausted time for a well deserved rest. i think. that's also how i feel after spending a week in paris thanks so much for watching focus on your 5 for now. come
