4:31 pm
they're happening nearly every 3 days well a violent is mostly related to street gangs and drug trafficking and the fighting is becoming more brazen and has shaken the once peaceful country sweden is respected in europe for its liberal laws social system and innovation it also has strict gun laws so how could this happen while my hair turkey once lived a life of crime and now helps at risk youth a migrant himself he believes much has to change regarding the integration of immigrants my hair is taking his message of peace to the streets in his city of mamo which has become a flashpoint for gang violence something he is determined to change. no her turkey is in his element hundreds of responded to his call to protest against violence on the streets of momo concerned parents among them. but they're
4:32 pm
also someone who the swedish police consider part of the city's criminal 1000000. if you continue to be silent. i can hear you. now mo is the shock and november 215 year olds were gunned down one of them died the other went to the hospital with 10 gunshot wounds. turkey who was born in lebanon was once a serious offender and spent years in prison. he turns to the parents full of anger what is it you say to your children go to school but you yourself are criminals why should they become criminals as well. meyer turkey wants to break this vicious circle no to crimes is the name of the organization he founded volunteers go to schools give lectures and talk to parents they also looked after the injured 15 year olds who wanted help getting off the

street. real football got to be successfully persuaded a number of young people to report to social services or the police medical bit but they work too slowly out of it as well from what we also persuaded some to change their lifestyle he says want to look at the success is there for possible so the mothers who thought and feelings. and yet there are explosions and sudden swedens metropolis almost weekly like in front of this residential building downtown residents are horrified. and. it's horrible what can i say. when we hold soon it will be like in syria there's almost no difference mamma police are perceived reinforcements from all over sweden the spite of fallen overall numbers of crimes the police chief admits that brutality is increasing that's why he's planning roundtable discussions with young people at risk. queries
4:34 pm
at least discussions police and prosecutors make it clear what sentences they could expect some but we may also have a mother with us who was lost a son and herself a grief. a social worker is also present and explains what alternatives are available to them when they get out. some of the. friends of the shooting victims are placing candles and flowers at the scene they to come from immigrant families. one of them is ready to talk to us she portion some of the blame to the swedish police and authorities in russia and i think that being gay people who live here don't feel protected the police better not show up here if a 15 year old can be shot in the middle of town and a woman holding a baby can be shot in the head it means it's getting worse it'll get even worse if nothing is done. the month of august. you might hear
4:35 pm
turkey wants to do something about it. he comes here every day to talk with young people in other words he stone the victims and offenders are getting ever younger. the next time it could be either of us were at the wrong place at the wrong time. these youngsters don't respect anything they don't care about their own fates so why should they care about others. it will be someone to help. the police remain in sight they fear that the war mo-mo streets could escalate further after this murder . many politicians believe that sweden's integration policy has failed and demand a tougher stance especially in education policy. and we have been instead of understanding that we have to help them through screw the best thing we can do for them is to help them to 2 to get
4:36 pm
a good education and to get into employment market think the injured boys brother is attending my here turkey's protest rally he doesn't want to hear anything about revenge in front of the cameras from here turkey has had enough of empty promises as a 1st step he demands the surrender of all gone it's almost can't say stop shooting you can keep your guns so we should quickly find a way for these people to surrender their weapons without fear of prosecution but to be a little bit of wind. but would that make momo streets safer many swedes are in don't matter turkey still are some convincing to do. oh we'll move into the palace of westminster after the general elections british politics have been an uphill battle since the referendum of 2016 prime minister boris johnson is campaigning on a promise to get briggs it done in one year's time something his critics say is
4:37 pm
impossible while johnson's conservative party is deeply divided over the issue some m.p.'s have been thrown out of the party or switched sides after more than 25 years with the tories milton and phillip levy have called it quits johnson's one time alleys are now running against him in the make or break election. what's it like when your own political party changes so much that you can't bear it . that's what phillip leigh experienced. he was no longer able to enjoy being part of the conservative party and join the liberal democrats right in the middle of a debate in the house of commons. it wasn't an easy thing to do because of the post although. because it is part of the. my party left me i could. no longer conservative in unionist governments that's
4:38 pm
not what it was. for the reason philip please decision johnson the british prime minister. during the election campaign he's playing the mic populist but those who didn't support his breaks it course were bullied and kicked out a total of $21.00 m.p.'s amongst them winston churchill's grandson the former chief public prosecutor and the former chancellor of the exchequer. even his own brother could no longer tolerate johnson's policies. it's populists it's telling the public was. they. they think that the public wants to hear. it's over simplifying the issue. after 27 years in the tory party and several years as a minister and milton was also kicked out for being an unfolding pro european.
4:39 pm
choice rest of the world must think we've lost the plot that somebody like complete become our prime minister it's sort of 2nd trump opportunist to believe in only. i mean i guess he believes in one thing which is seemingly his but is pleased that he should be proposed we will get brett sit down. and we will end the at committee of the chaos where little johnson's training to be able to strike a quick free trade deal with the e.u. is a night his critics say. and milton no longer wants to tolerate this she's running as an independent candidate. i have no because she was she hid behind me and it's quite hard getting elected as an independent candidates and you were a very small team my house was a great hope to be an milton is running in the suburbs surrounding london like here the majority of residents here voted to remain in the e.u. . she's well known around here because she represented this constituency for the
4:40 pm
tories for 14 years. and your race but even if and it seems popular amongst voters breck's it for some is more important than personal loyalty. of. any politicians that come knocking on more door if the not throw bricks it then they can go because oh i think we need to lead the european union i'd be a no staunch conservative for 63 years i'm the 4th generation. and this is the 1st time that my. conscience have been shattered because no way can i vote for boris johnson because he's not telling the trees. and melton infinitely hope that the voter will reward the fact that they've left the party constraints and that integrity is more important to them the net
4:41 pm
political careers. more joy i believe in what what is my vision an outward looking. gentleman. if you like. recognizing that. as a country we can do this on the road. that's what we're going to me i think the most which are the public one principle people are courageous and have integrity. or they don't have everything cause at a party. because they see everybody at the top of the party the moment doesn't have any of those qualities. and i know the more person. principles are one thing attracting voters is a whole different issue you finished and done milton knew that they'll have to work twice as hard now getting into parliament with a smaller party or independently is much harder everything counts now.
4:42 pm
it's a dance that ruffled many a feather back in the day and symbolized women's independence the can can was popularized at the moulin rouge in paris in the late 1900 century and became france's most famous dance legend has it that the air as a top performer could kick a man's head off with her toe a 130 years later again is proud to dance at the wrong route and she also dreams of leaving her mark at the world's most famous for id club. the red windmill or moulin rouge to go. over a century ago it was a hotbed of french promiscuity and scandal. scantily clad girls took to the stage here today things are as racy says mcgann a dancer at the milan rouge. the 22 year old joined the chorus line at the world famous cabaret 6 months ago. i feel make nissen's in this costume a little like
4:43 pm
a little prince and it's. time for the final touches everything must look just right because the costumes are a lot of brit an important part of the show. the current one is called fieri and mcgowan knows every step by heart. the mother also danced in the chorus line. twice a day it's show time. close to $100.00 dancers sport a 1000 costumes but desktop was to a longstanding tradition at the moon wonders it's normal from a gun. it is a show for the entire family so there's nothing to send sewell about it so the children from the age of 6 can come and see the show it's very glamorous and please everyone. will see me it's unique it's a show like no other. but let me tell you. i work for
4:44 pm
fun maybe. take a look to some of the 4 women. in the late 1900 century it was mainly the women skimpy costumes that caused the social revolution. many considered such flaunting of flesh to be moral. today cabaret management calls it body art. to be a moulin who's down south is to dance in the world's most famous cabaret in front of spectators from around the world these are the folks save up to spend one night at the moon. the dances so that to make their dreams come true. and they've been doing that here for the last 130 years. but in 889 when the dancers 1st lifted their skirts to reveal their petticoats it wasn't just paris that went wild. so did visitors would come to see the world's fair. and the newly constructed eiffel tower . artist to loosely track frequented the moon on rouge and depicted star dancer
4:45 pm
a good year. later writer colette would kiss a woman on stage in a show that was promptly banned. thank you. on rouge lives from the scandals to this day but it's become risk averse. the show is now mainstream entertainment and a big money spinner. 600000 international visitors flock to paris to see it each year. a the artistic director janet farrow ensures the dancing is 1st rate she wants performed on the move on stage herself. sometimes she misses the spirit of those early years and tries to do something more daring. even if it's for something a special goller event or a television i go home it's so different let's be brave. they've nobody wants to take a risk and if you don't take a risk it may not what you don't take some risks you kill creation.
4:46 pm
even still the moulin rouge dancers raise hackles by dawn and her colleagues are constantly told that their work denigrates women betrays them as sexual objects but jennifer arrow strongly dismisses that. are we doing that for the man or are we doing it just because we like to dress up and wear pretty things i think are really not true they like to dress up they like to wear jewelry they like to look beautiful if winning didn't like dressing up or wearing jewelry i think the world economy might collapse. but god loves to dance the one so daring french can can remain true to the legacy of the moulin rouge she says it needs to be a bit risque but just a bit she's a real pro with big dreams. so
4:47 pm
i'd like to be one of the 3 singers. those of the 3 women who are always out front on stage and sing. like that a lot. of. the wheels of time keep on turning. in at the moulin rouge it's show time once again. you know that italy is the world's largest producer of wine it has been made there for thousands of years and has reviewed for its quality and business is booming and one that nice wine shop and not because of what's inside the bottle fascist the wine is flying off the shelves in a shop and colorado deprived oh well in a country that suffered under a brutal dictatorship hitler and mussolini are placed front and center on the bottles for emmanuelle fianna the son of an auschwitz survivor it's a slap in the face. i definite i can't show
4:48 pm
wine bottles with these label is an awful big nearby nor in germany but in italy they were loud andreea luna danny does good business with them he has no scruples he's interested in the money with the things i mean i know that it's forbidden to display a picture of hitler in germany but we got say as was in austria the czech republic slovakia and pole a lot of a little bit of them and they all come to italy to buy these bottles. and they hide them. like a black marker for those who take the bottles to germany. on a fact our largest customer group are germans this business is booming the quality of the wine is irrelevant you know delhi says customers only care about the label the atrocities committed by dictators like muscling your hitler don't seem to matter other bottles portraying sissy or the austrian empress friends are on offer too but nothing sounds as well as hitler thought it was the only on in all these
4:49 pm
years we've been charged 4 times who are put up with twice for glorifying fascism as we have labels from the fascist times and weiss we were charged with glorifying national socialism then want to thank about it there's also been criminal complaints from jewish communities or tourists these 3 course these bottles won't please everyone and some of become furious when they see the labels but so far we've won every legal dispute that as a motivation has never been political a commercial. emmanuelle fianna no whose father survived auschwitz is an m.p. for the social democratic party. fianna is fighting against the rise of neo fascism 2 years ago he introduced a lot of parliament it would have precipitated any display a fascist symbols but fianna his proposal will fail and the legal situation is different in italy than in germany it's only against the law or when one glorifying fascist symbols is connected to the founding of
4:50 pm
a fascist party or you know america's all today things are different the facebook page that glorifies hitler goebbels or italian fascists is easy and quick to create the motivation to form a fascist party is not necessarily part of it in front of an example of. benito mussolini ruled italy for 21 years through through to the repression countless people fell prey to his tyranny but in italy and abroad siding with hitler mussolini entered the 2nd world war fascist rule is a dark chapter of italian history that has never been thoroughly dealt with through . the legend of fascism created the welfare state by introducing salary bonuses pensions and by drying out the swamps still lives on but it's incorrect. wine merchant luna daily delivers to his regular customers fed in and openly gotto is bar obviously a meeting point for fascists. chairman.
4:51 pm
that is glorification of hitler and mussolini is banned in germany makes the boss angry to him these mass murderers are heroes. or you know this all these days more people die because of tumors and all the things these people poisonous with the car democracy but it is no democracy at all. that we are governed by mafiosi by freemasons by puppets we are governed by dirty pigs. emmanuelle few are no knows this for the most rini imitations the owners political hate slogan is how he praises the criminal must illini that's actually forbidden in italy says. the problem is young people go to disbar and see on the wind label a photo of hitler instead of a grapevine. to understand what hitler has done and what is hopefully taught at
4:52 pm
school should never happen again and of course. you know they think hitler is like mickey mouse or some hollywood star or someone who comes and goes but has no meaning instead of understanding that he was responsible for the most horrible chapter of our history. in germany such pictures are forbidden fears that it will be some time before people understand that propaganda for mass murderers is not only dangerous but must also be banned. nears it is like a form of therapy it allows one to both forget and remember and enjoy the present and the reader from back to stand knows the power of music she brings people from all walks of life together on the dance floor there in a is one of millions of migrants who moved to russia to provide for her family back home and life in
4:53 pm
a foreign country is full of challenges including discrimination so when her day job is done serena leaves her worries at the door and hits the dance floor. serena's love for music is infectious. the former teacher has been d.j. ing for almost 4 years and no performs around once a month at a van some clubs in the russian capital playing house drum n bass and electro. serena is 57 years old and is a regional from spec a stand when she plays neither age nor nationality matters. the thing i like most is when everyone dances. i even dance with the myself. serena's day job is working as a cleaner in moscow she came here from some accounting 20 years ago to earn money for her family back home she also cleaned it this d.j. school. she fell in love with electronic music and the son had to take lessons as
4:54 pm
well. she still practice a series after cleaning before the other students arrive. here from a very easy it helps me a lot so no matter what i work a lot it can be tiring. when i come here i forget everything it's all about the music. i can play for 5 or 6 hours straight. music gives me strength and puts me in a good mood. serena doesn't speak english so she memorizes the cover up for trucks she wants to use and play lists. on tongue love serena's teacher at the school still suggest songs he thinks she might like. he says he admires arena because she breaks through cultural and musical boundaries against all odds. it was more
4:55 pm
unfortunately people often think that someone who came from a different country was a bit older who was of a different nationality might not manage to learn how to d.j. there is no i store but she has shown everyone that it works in your was more than that everything is possible because it was him my dearest at the pool which i'd say . is arena is one of several 1000000 migrants in russia. central asian immigrants often face discrimination in russia but serena says she's never had any problems. when a person is sincere so i want to talk to everyone it's friends with everyone they are taken in by people. that's what i think i think it depends on the person. is a rino always and xeroxed by dancing with her audience to respect pop music in a traditional uzbek national costume she dreams of going back to spec a stand and start her own d.j. school so she can pass on or sound and love for music.
