everything is online mel file an interactive gem and suffering the deluge. for t.w. on facebook and twitter. to date and in touch. well in a very warm welcome indeed to focus on europe with me peter craven and we begin this week in eastern europe in poland to be precise where a man called pavel at a mortgage scene on the right of your screen was the mayor of the northern port city of go down then almost exactly a year ago he was stabbed to death during a charity event. now before that shocking attack

a powerful adam of which was a prominent advocate for liberal causes and a strong supporter of pro european sentiments and prior to his killing he come under massive pressure from a right wing hate campaign so after his death his widow magdaléna has taken up the fight against the hate speech that she says is having such a devastating impact in poland poisoning politics and threatening lifes. for a year magdalena has been visiting her husband's grave at st mary's church in dansk . she says he stood for freedom and against poland's right wing populist law and justice party that tramples on that freedom and that this cost him his life. he was killed by hate speech was averted by these troll factories along with just information spread about pavel. accusations in the defamation. that's what

killed him. in the 1980 s. pavel adam ovitz was a student leader in the celadon issue led by les at the shipyard soli don helped put an end to communist rule in poland. years later when the populist law and justice party came to power as dance mayor adam ovitz was the face of a different liberal poland and for years the target of hate propaganda on january 18th 2090 pavel i did move it was taking part in poland's biggest charity fundraiser when he was stabbed in front of millions of viewers his attacker then grabbed the microphone and shouted hate slogans against adam over each and fellow politicians. it appears hate slogans and campaigns originate at places like this the office of the ultra nationalist organization polish youth in 2017 spokesman

matteo and his allies became known for issuing symbolic death certificates for 11 mayors who agreed to welcome refugees to their cities the certificate stated cause of death liberalism multiculturalism stupidity. the public prosecutor's office which is controlled directly by the justice minister 1000 no reason to charge the campaign's initiators. call for violence and hate. that it fell within the framework of public debate. and that was simply draw attention to certain politically sensitive issues. for magdaléna that's a mockery she says issuing fake death certificates is illegal as a member of the european parliament she's fighting against hate campaigns. in 2 weeks i have to go to pick up. a certificate of of that of my own for hosp and this was something that was. that i have never you

know just think about specter magdaléna knows that words can kill so she's launched the international initiative imagine there's no hate she's also campaigning for a european law against hate speech. we have to define the word hate speech. then when the word freedom of the speeches when you. really group of. professional is and special is in many fields to find this definitions in dansk adam overage who is a trained lawyer tries to sensitize students to have words to create. the honey monday march in at least today and many countries populist governments resort to mechanisms which are based on manipulating people the washing mindful of

our new. magdaléna says she's not afraid. her husband told her not to be she still senses his presence. in the power of saw. her and the caption i still wear my wedding ring on my right hand to. married women do here in poland. because i still feel like his wife. i don't like the word widow. magdaléna adam oh that she's doing all she can to keep her husband's legacy alive. and it's a fire that magdalen i don't know which doesn't want to limits a poland after all hate speech knows no borders now on a very different note we head to italy and i wonder are you a fan of prozac oh the sparkling wine made in italy that provides

a light that aromatic alternative to champagne but there's a problem because prozac 0 used to be produced in a specifically defined area in the north of the country however big new manufacturers have been moving into the market and according to traditional lists like francesco drizzy on are watering down the brand as a result it seems there's a prosaic oh war in the making. vines as far as the eye can see francesco to the sea as family has owned a vineyard here for 3 generations. the vintners proud of its impossible hills they had a hold of genuine percent go to the fact that they have a ties down of the loans with the same name annoys him. see that all on their ads you see pictures of our beautiful hills we still see their prosecco does not come from here at all. you can't advertise in an area you don't even own.

the mineral rich soil and the steep slopes of the be a den there gives the glitter a great variety the unique flavor for percent. yeah better but only a fraction of the percent go sold worldwide comes from producers like francesco. if this is where prosecco was born between. in carnegie. to the efforts of our great grandfathers it's thanks to them that our sparkling wine is known and loved all over the world. a perceptible simple. this kind of advertising as done by competition from the lowlands is below his dignity because they even advertise the percent as a mixed drink in red or orange. this mass produced products is made 125000 hectares in 500 more in centers.

last year we sold nearly 500000000 bottles of prosecco. that means more market power and a higher degree of product recognition. everyone in the business benefits from that is just. not the big vineyards with large steel tanks the emphasis is on volume. the fan has a net there presents the deo see sparkling wine producers the d o c there's a nation is now valid and 9 provinces in the northern italian regions of a neto and feeling. this means that traditional wine growers have to cut back a little and open up the market to us lowlanders as well. that way the overall product can enjoy a lasting success. this isn't acceptable to the producers of classic percent go involved be a dandy they now want to preserve their culturally protected product from lowland competition

a group of established vintners meet in this old wine cellar. only. if they choose the best bottle every year the piece echo must be pure and made only from the grapes that have grown here. and written pretty good on the paizo the high quality of the lowland prosecco makes our work difficult we are struggling to keep our identity from simply being watered down. the venues shape this cultural landscape over generations and have now even received the unesco designation this has its price in their vineyards the grapes still have to be harvested. the slopes are too steep for machines every square meter here requires 5 times as many working hours as down in the lowlands. each great cluster must be cut by hand to get up all of you made little or no change basket must be

carried up or down the slopes or stout or just for starters was your means. in the lower and so ever machines harvest the grapes worlds collide the work of perceptible. in veld of beer then they are more convinced than ever that they must defend their identity. francesco dressy and will accept no compromises where food and drinks are concerned tradition is tradition and we shall mourn always we are who we are not. the charm or. and your good conservatives and don't want our wonderful hill to simply be globalized and commercialized like the lowlands. for see not being all that now. so francesco dressed young is going to extremes to protect a special sparkling wine by not calling a perception any more. in future it will only be known as vulgar bad then the superiority. well now we go to

greece where homelessness remains a major problem and many of those living on the streets are of course the victims of the economic crisis that has rocked the country in recent years so is it possible for people to get their lives back on track yes it is crystal sunny frontis the man known as the king of the home. christos often goes outside to his athens he doesn't need to walk far until he runs into homeless people where there are deserted sleeping places even in the middle of the greek capital more and more people are living rough. it has become his life's work to help at least some of them many here call him the king of the homeless. just look at the smallest world before the crisis i already saw homeless people in abandoned buildings in the city center. for sausage. christos telefon just has provided an income for about 150 homeless people in the last few years as vendors

of the newspaper shadia in english graft fotis is one of these then dares he hasn't had a home for a long time and sleeps in a factory where there is no room for him during the day i don't get a gaza mess i'm happy that i can work and not have to beg anymore. talking to people to work it's like medicine and then i'll farm out. a life for the homeless chris just fun to see can make it look like this war syria get their ass or look all those who practice here don't have a home but playing together gives them a sense of support and belonging they play here once a week and often take part in tournaments. but it's great to see these people start smiling again and you give them the ball to play with. it's probably going to. younis quote so says the homers team's coach he tries to teach them tactics and

playing disciplined and of course to give the motivation. he knows what he's talking about for years eon is called souls was also homeless. doesn't earn money from football but here in the shady a restaurant's kitchen as a chef elefant this is also in charge here the catering business in the middle of athens is largely run by former homeless people like you honest sick on the bottom it's really got the beginning many of my colleagues find it difficult to return to regular work. as homeless people they've forgotten how to do it so to speak and quickly become tired. on the outside the homeless restaurant in athens looks like a normal restaurant but you can't see up stairs the editorial offices of the street newspaper and a workshop for former homeless people are located. small metal houses hang from the restaurant ceiling $45.00 in total each one of them stands for

a homeless person who has found work and shelter thanks to christos. we make every effort to ensure that our guests feel comfortable in this place of solidarity movement is going to have many guests come here not just for the food or drinks they want to support the homeless project with the revenue they generate. you learned about accordingly i like this place you know it's more than just a restaurant it's designed to help people in need. and. that king of the homeless christos other frontis has only lived in athens for a few years he is a journalist by profession editor of shadia and for several months now a part time to straw member to. the people we hire must meet certain criteria they must be homeless and at least 50 years old. and they must have boiled an egg in

their life and really want to work for the. in the afternoon chris just telephoned his goes back to the world of the homeless there life is particularly hard in greece the state does practically nothing for them like here for now farai it is not enough to give the homeless food and a bad job a lot of it might help if i could help you also to make me feel like a full member of society from another group only christos telefon tests the king of the homeless in athens has big plans in the future he wants to get even more people are the streets. well these days almost everybody agrees that global warming poses an ever growing threat to the future of our planet part of the solution is to reduce our dependency on fossil fuels and one of the places that's leading the way here is the danish island of exams or it's become a poster child for a climate friendly way of life with the island and its inhabitants producing more

energy than they actually need the big question is how. it takes a deep love for nature and peace and quiet to live on denmark's exams ole island die sage left gently rolling countryside here but tina and her husband ben had other reasons to leave the city life of copenhagen and or who's behind and move here 3 years ago they said out to take part in an experiment it was the island communities bid to save the world on for us fog and employed in the back don't for us was that sam so is far ahead in terms of sustainability and is what they started here is 20 years ago inspired us we wanted to be a part of this you on a little excursion around the island exams oh with a population of around $3500.00 seems ideal it and then the many ways like any other danish island what stands out our the many wind turbines of the 1st

generation and the outside solar panels and front of the town hall and men life the farmer your going shamberg one of the energy pioneers 20 years ago he and other islanders joint forces to create sam's owes 1st wind farm their got i had was to to ag then when i put 12000000 kroner in so my 1st winter blend i had sleepless nights almost gift i have to change banks and go deep into debt in food says but that's what you do full mother earth the for kewl and screwed well he in the others were determined to end sam's owes dependence on oil and gas from the mainland the investments pay it off now he earns money as a wind and solar power farmer and the straw he grows in the summer heats islanders homes and winter but i never saw him love the straw grows here and the oil stays in the ground elsewhere the best part is that and spring the straw grows

a buck pretty smart doesn't again yes us mot trenberth smart straw is used to fire boilers for a mini biogas c.h.p. plant and he sems those homes step by step became energy independent and entirely c o 2 neutral. geriatric nurse elizabeth hawk demonstrates how it works her shift begins every day with the same ritual unplugging her electric car. that has to be put in the filling station is above us here on the roof so the cars are recharged from solar energy that's how easy it is. the local authorities switched to electric vehicles in 2013 cutting their outgoings to half of what diesel cost and reducing their carbon emissions to 0. twice or 3

times a day the nurse checks on the 87 year old good turn home at 1st it bothered miss home that she couldn't hear the car pull up anymore because it's entirely noiseless . but then i thought i don't care what they drive the important thing is that they come by. with that in mind all the islands projects are coordinated here energy academy in 1907 it was commissioned by the danish government to revolutionize energy use on. men men become super bullying in the end we succeeded in transforming our carbon footprint and 1st making it neutral and now even negative winds give us people in a key in between she said today we produce more energy than we use to get a direction the whole world wants to take the heat of adding and really. gifts that have been brought from around the world countless delegations have been inspired by the small island. here. this shows the world

us next week we'll be having visitors from new zealand on the scene so it's gathered some 4 to 5000 guests have been here so far yes and just think you know got back to ben and tina they'd like to do their part as well. they discussed how to save even more energy with the other islanders their latest project is due for a large and 2020 passenger ferry to the mainland. made of aluminum will be very lightweight and consume far less diesel. do we have that and test it be fantastic if we could build an all electric powered ferry but for now the batteries are too big and too expensive our compromise will be to replace the engine the moment the right technology becomes available technically neka. it takes a healthy dose of pragmatism to save the world. that.

protrude no think ballet and the country that most likely 1st comes to mind is russia focus on europe has been following the fortunes of one young russian dancer from a small town in the far east of siberia he's traveled a long way from home and work very very hard indeed in a bid to be taken on by one of the most prestigious ballet companies in the world at the bottle surely theater now even among the youngest competition in stiff and training is tough so did young sammy on make the grade and has his dream come true . on the curriculum it is just called classical dance ringback in practice it's hard work for hours. to get out more. turn them out out out. and have a new role so new and semyonov is getting ready for his very 1st appearance on the big stage in the record the classic winter ballet he practices for hours every

morning. my dad says that being a ballet dancer is nice but tough. it's especially tough for someone who comes from a small town and is just starting out. at the vladivostok branch of the moscow state academy of choreography also known as the bolshoi ballet school. that has a language all its own. and you go ready to start the 1st time i heard paul on your tail i thought what tale that and how do you pull it in. or turn your knee. or thighs out. the strict discipline of ballet is a whole new world for some young he's been living in the academy's boarding school invalid of us stuck for 3 months now. that 1st i thought it's great living along with your family specially when you're still so young but then i started missing my

mother. some you know some enough comes from beer a bit john that sound and rushes far east some 1000 kilometers from vladivostok. with a population of about 80000 cultural life is limited. so it was a minor sensation when the young local boy was recruited for the famous ballet academy. while of the children enjoy the winter break some purrs 1st performance but he's allowed a few days at home before. one would commit to and it's his opportunity to get to know another world. and maybe even to become famous slava duck a car. back and leave us stuck the performers enter the final rehearsal face. stuff you have to follow the music.
