documentary. hello and welcome to focus on europe with me lara biloela a single case could bring the pork industry to a grinding halt and cost billions of euros in losses health authorities in eastern europe are trying to fight the spread of african swine fever and are taking drastic measures to do so sometimes even against the will of the farmers if just one animal

is infected the whole herd will be culled. well the virus has yet to reach germany but farmers here are very nervous and that's because infected animals have been confirmed just a few kilometers away from the border in poland and so the hunt for wild boars in that region is on a warning for our viewers this report contains graphic images of dead animals. court pluck and bag near is hunting wild boar in germany's east. these hunters in the door some 80 kilometers from the polish border are calling the boar they're seen as a danger potential carriers of african swine fever which is harmless to humans but an existential threat to pig farming. that even these hunters know that alone probably won't be enough to prevent the spread of the disease to germany. come see you care advocate it may be but you just can't i don't think you can

contain a swine fever just by hunting in the oldest being since well its roots and the feeding conditions for wild boar are excellent. the mild winters allow even week newborns to survive so the population is of a level we've simply never seen before. for instance. across the order river in poland the african swine fever broke out years ago now there are some cases near the border with germany. ski runs one of the largest pig farms here . a few weeks ago he still had 10000 pigs. but he sold most of his animals before the prices collapsed. you know he has just 2000 left. many of his stables are empty no. such. if they find out at any time that the animals are infective faces will have

to kill them all for you to say sheeple to show proof that i hold a trace that would mean in their mean euro loss for me structure before the move which i believe it because i was. zofia by torch uk heads the local veterinary board in jelena gora and keeps the district swine fever map up to date. she's convinced that intense hunting of war will prevent new cases. he had limbs tell him or her own and we've always focused on all conquering as many aboard as possible ideally until there are none left. the way most people get our needs is it up aside from bullets she believes in information numerous flyers are supposed to calm polish farmers fears of swine fever while encouraging them to take sufficient steps to protect their stuff. on the german side of the border farmers have been anxiously waiting for the 1st outbreak frank my to use in north tele

keeps his 4000 animals under lock and key. he won't let anyone into his stables not even our cameramen he filmed this footage himself if there was just one confirmed case of swine fever the region's meat trade would grind to a halt and meat exports would plummet. we're scared what if iris is spread in a single or could spread the virus here to what all it takes is an animal swimming across the river oder are nice to have a no brainer. but what can be done to keep the polish bores out. the german state of brandenburg has erected a 120 kilometer long electric fence along the order river. but will the flimsy fence help. all right now we're seeing bore destroying the

fence for centuries there's never been a fence here and the poor have grown used to certain routes. you know they need to adjust to the situation that there's an electric fence blocking their way. so the polish pig farmer. germany's electric fence will keep the virus outbreak in check. vince young movie is that they're. not going to fence who achieve nothing at all. if a bird picks it up for carcass and then flies across the border but it was shown just the virus will spread into germany as well. like many others is convinced the virus didn't arrive in poland through infected animals but through contaminated food imported to the country by truck. court like invade near and his fellow hunters find this scenario highly plausible

as well but they keep on calling boar as there is an abundance of them anyway. condition that we can try to reduce their numbers like. that's better than doing nothing would be so much to some of us all. our problems are all part of our. fuel while more the thinking goes the slimmer the odds that swine fever will spread in germany. even so most german hunters and farmers are certain the virus will eventually find its way into the country. now to the world's biggest island greenland the danish territory is covered by a 1000000 year old ice sheet but its mouth is now being rewritten it's glaciers are thawing at an unprecedented rate contributing substantially to rising sea levels across the globe and while many places are going to great lengths to fight the

effects of global warming some people on the island are embracing the drastic changes this is booming in a resource rich greenland a veritable treasure island and for a water taxi owners and as look at the big offers new opportunities. the night was cold minus 18 degrees the wind lets the air in greenland's capital nuc seem even colder. it's a 1st for unders luka larson so far his yellow water taxis have only been in operation during the summer months now he takes tourists out on to the furor during the arctic winter. off the back of back all before it's happening faster and faster what we're losing more and more of the in london as a result of climate change. and it's causing people to come to greenland to see the

ice melt. fjord of good hope. the danes once gave this name to the estuary today the fjord is changing rapidly. the temperatures are rising the glaciers are receding the melt waters washing up sandbanks in many bays. in the last more than 300000000000 tons of ice last year alone. there's a brother in law steers the boat he also notices the change in the bay. we see this especially in summer then the entire fuel it is open and there's a lot of the ice you got also really big icebergs. now would go into their right as. much good if not better not drive into one that's getting as old as gates leaving it. under the gun with just one water taxi 4 years ago

he recently commissioned his 5th of the business with melting ice it's booming. greenland's capital nuke the danes founded the city nearly 300 years ago the tourists come mostly here to the old colonial harbor. the city has seen rapid growth in the past few years construction is everywhere new hotels and apartments are being built and the airport is being expanded. greenland is on the move says charlotte do nixon her ancestors were fishermen hunters. 6 months ago she became the new mayor of new. she has big plans for her city one day 30000 people will live here today there are about 18000. if you. all invest says are approaching us right now we're in a unique situation so we're getting a lot of attention that and. new business ideas are emerging everywhere new

like here and a former car repair shop which attracts a visit by the mayor. this is where greenland really turns green nicholas and rasmus have been growing lettuce and herbs here for about a year. they supply it mainly to restaurants and supermarkets in it but have bigger plans yet to oversee the one we want to supply all of greenland. just to do that in what we started here in new clothes we're exploring the market in the rest of the country so as you just saw we're also trying to. tomatoes and peppers. until now almost all the vegetables had to be brought to the island by ship or plane full of these this won't change so quickly but the goal is to produce locally or you can see that it's been through a bit of supper to get money to send out to us that we have these domestically produced fresh vegetables that don't have to be imported it's safe to. see you. the new container harbor. fishery products are still the island's most

important export commodity but greenland also wants to export its raw materials gold titanium rare earths oil and gas a huge treasure sleeping under the ice and the rising temperatures should help lift it the chinese are already here the u.s. is moving in. the old u.s. consulate which is closed in 1953. the americans moved it to their air base in greenland now the consulate is to be reopened the new envoy is already there well look at this house and it's in such a central area in new right next to the parliament and right across from the center where the government sits. it's a great place to live from for from our perspective to showcase how close the ties between the united states and britain. the us want to participate in the coming upswing in greenland. and. back with anders on his

water taxi. to the new airport is to be finished in 3 years time and then tours from europe and the u.s. can fly directly to new. andras hopes for even more customers 1st for your tours. and he said she got here just like the souvenir shops sell t. shirts we sell for tours this is a 2 hour expressed or. you get a good view of the few words system in greenland you'll be fine but. when. they reach the goal of the tour the frozen waterfalls and seydoux island but a lot of the barber larson is from germany now lives in denmark and is visiting greenland with her daughter. she saw the arctic winter only from pictures and wanted to experience it herself. of initiatives and was a wind in danish. great immeasurable when you come here and then there's a listening to the cold thickly national i find it absolutely fascinating.

but what will the arctic look like in 50 or 100 years to greenlanders don't know how to adapt. climate change it's seen as an opportunity on greenland. you can't have your cake and eat it too well this is especially true when it comes to divorce rich. it is leaving the e.u. but exactly how that will work isn't clear take for instance london which is home to one of europe's most ethnically diverse populations through food festivals and art londoners have been enjoying a cultural exchange for decades and customers that christian mounted cafe come to enjoy a slice of vienna but brags it is threatening to change all of that. could you imagine london without its rich cullen every man's game without european

delicacies like banana crescent and not to cream cake without at full strudel and sapphire cake safe retreats such as to road. and austrian pretzels. this is kid family of viennese style coffee house and restaurant in north london with rex at around the corner patrons hero worried the establishment might be forced to shut down. the kate snow to. nothing i often indulge will it's lovely to see them and to have dishes like that will they remind us of visits that we have made to your. hand what with this little thing we are not we're not only interested in english things i imagine things will close down and it will be you know it'll be a smaller. less interesting dynamic environment would you recognise

a coffee. kind of on our course of honor calls upon. the coffee house was established by christiane monic he's been living in britain for 24 years he was deeply disappointed by the brits it felt london after all is his home he certainly breaks it will make it harder to run his business and to import products from mainland europe. until now that wasn't a problem often products ordered from australia would get here faster than english products here in her but all the extra paperwork all the extra forms that are now legally filled i would cost transport and customs delays if it's that will break up costs or of course the for was are. some of the pound has. ready for lnh against the euro and it's becoming increasingly difficult to highest skilled stuff from europe christiane malik can hardly recognize the briton he once moved to over 20

years ago. because when we were here we were able to go anywhere in europe we are well come on everywhere groping here in great britain was exciting with sex an inference and maybe a mood bureaucracy here. but all that changed in the past 3 years. in the hard yards we discovered today. that's why many europeans in britain are feeling distraught london's soho district for example has been a magnet for italian immigrants since the 19th century. and chemist a local italian delicatessen is already struggling with imports. with the basics like partner how many partners and we would be ok but we'd like you know more pretentious products like we sell just a bit of it just a small amount i don't think that we will be able to get them any more. the shop

has many regular customers with a great appreciation for european delicacies i think we have to fight to make sure the they do stay soon other works for someone like myself and i will come here maybe more to make sure it doesn't disappear and i don't lose that smell of the fabulous coffee. despite bricks it being a reality now many londoners simply don't want to imagine a life without the delicious foods of continental europe. made in europe it's a label that consumers can feel good about employees here are paid fair wages under good working conditions or so we think well the reality is very different for textile workers in north macedonia they're under immense pressure to churn out garments as quickly as possible and often at the expense of their own health and

safety and fact when calculated with living costs wages there are lower than in south east asia where christina paver used to be a cog in europe's fast fashion machine now she's become a voice for change. the market dunker was once the hearts of yugoslavia's textile industry. the factory belong to its 9000 employees its director and little more than the other workers it had its own day care centers and workers housing the end of socialism in the early 1990 s. but the end of the market dunga. the textile industry in steep still employs some 9000 workers most of them women. hardly any of them earn more than the legal minimum wage in north macedonia $200.00 euro's a month lower than in bangladesh in china measured against the cost of living. the minimum for a family of 4 is closer to $750.00 euros

a month. christina and paver is fighting for fair pay. she worked as a seamstress for years but when she objected to the starvation wages she was fired now christine is carrying on the struggle in another form she started a network called glass and textile it's or voices of the textile workers financed with donations. just as much of the car cindy got never sure i wasn't able to start a works council the workers didn't even know what that was or how workers representation function it's. only way was to set up a self-help organization or anything that would take up the fight against the exploitation of the workers. not only of the carman workers paid badly they're treated badly as well. to monopolist tasks in a never changing posture just the triggers allergies factory holes left on heated

in winter and overheated in summer the on paid overtime and demands to work over weekends all take their toll katherine is a member of the textile workers network a seamstress tells christina the conditions of the workshops. there was a problem with the care workers sitting next to me the boss yelled at her because she's only finished 3 pieces while i had done 10 and he roared make more make more . worst they proved that catarina has quit a job she trained as a nurse but without connections or paying bribes she can't find any jobs in health care. of the man or him no harm so she had to find another job as a seamstress. and with $200.00 euros a month. they're forgotten it in the 10 years i've been working i haven't had one free weekends or more couldn't afford a vacation for myself or my daughter she never asks for money doesn't wear expensive clothes any cheap things it's not my god it's very hard for me to know

what this. is our manufacturers' the north macedonia the pay above the minimum wage and overtime and of improved working conditions $1.00 is moda but the buyers the big international labels look for the lowest prices for a shirt that retails for 60 euros motor receives 3 that includes the cutting sewing and packaging. the governments may bear the label made in europe but that doesn't mean they aren't tainted by cheap labor and exploitation . but in the big foreign brands are trying to introduce a higher social standards here but these cost money also that the cost up. cristina and pay for the labor activist is trying to bring the various parties to the table to discuss improving working conditions the state regulators the employers and n.g.o.s from neighboring countries the situation all across the balkans is much the

same exploitation and the loss of human dignity. some of the workers in serbian factories were made to wait where diapers grown up person there was a huge scandal that's really beyond any human rights not only the activists but the international labels themselves are starting to take action against such inhumane working conditions. one of them the german man shirtmaker a limp even quit doing business with a north macedonian supplier altogether. a limp only client. there would be one for the reset certain great fireman's that i was then that's been met and the employees wages be adjusted accordingly at the end of the day when the supplier didn't meet over because i am in sunny longer than one for them conform macbeth's not explains that he called the abuses to stop a limp even paid stoping more to do so but nothing changed. but may put sto be out

of business and 250 employees on the street is workshops of seized production pressure from the international corporations is growing reflecting the concerned for their image. ever fewer customers are willing to buy clothes made under inhumane conditions you're in a museum it's dark and empty in front of you is a rembrandt nightwatch a painting worth $500000000.00 euros you receive a strange text message with instructions now your mysterious adventure begins goodbye traditional audio guides and class tours after them their rights museum is offering its visitors a new and unique way to explore the art. amsterdam's rights museum is doing something a bit off the wall. janja and martin have come to play

a game and they've invited me along. a rather shady friend will text us little tips were to be smuggled in as in turns and we'll try to solve a mystery. so we won't have much time to admire rembrandt's nightwatch we've got to complete our tasks quickly. one riddle left or another has to be solved. if we scour the museum with our eyes peeled we should be able to find clues in every exhibit. that escaped in fact playing the game you knew through the museum differently than you would have. plaintiveness to see other things in view objects much longer and more intensively so. that the game takes players into parts of the museum many visitors passed by we could spend hours in the library reading up on art history but right now we're looking for a particular symbol. we

end up by the lockers way off of course. unfortunately the security guard can't or won't help us out. in the green so long an artist whispers that we have to be quiet and the cameras are watching us everywhere. so the loss of michael is sometimes it's a bit gritty but unfortunately the message is held. over with actually it's easy we're making it hard on ourselves because we're looking for things that weren't even asked for. and we learned something about secret compartments and the restoration of masterpieces luckily there is no time limit on the game but of course we can't reveal the secret on t.v. . there are secrets. with me well that's all this week from focus on europe let me know your thoughts about our show on twitter and don't forget you can find out more from our program on d w dot com but for now. thank

you. fucking going.

to accomplish so far from a system respect to the goal of nigeria's government sponsored cues by the international community of serious human rights abuses i guess this week here in london is like my homage to the country's information minister how does he defend against the country's many critics many evidence of wrongdoing is so compelling smith says.
