this week on board stories. the search for a challenger to trump in the u.s. . columbia's fight against sex tourism. but we begin in turkey thousands of refugees arrive at the greek border carrying false hopes they want to enter the e.u. but europe is closing its doors and increasing border security. the sign at the greek border says well come on but that's just not the case. a chaotic makeshift camp has sprung up open to the elements people try to stay warm lighting fires and dense smoke drifts through the air sometimes it's tear gas fired by the greek police. feared us and his family set a little further away 5 years ago he fled from the syrian city of homs to turkey

what is down the can manage here is vital the whole world must see this if you ask me this is a shame for the entire planet these people have been left to stay outside in the cold. most of those waiting here came with the firm belief that the border was indeed open and that the tax the europeans opposed had moved in their favor the realisation that this is not true makes it all the more bitter. and used for little purposes they should not use refugees like this in the lame. perhaps a bit now we know that this is all a game nobody knows what the result we just want someone to tell us what will happen. knowing what's in store this is what everybody here once feared us who even he'll watches the news from syria. and the many others

who now say they want to stay until the border is open. even though they sense that is unlikely to happen. for the u.s. presidential election in november which democratic candidates were competing against trump who will be chosen to run and what are the voters want. and south carolina the candidates are competing especially hard for support from african-american voters. a typical southern breakfast in a church in the city of north charleston and one brown is one of the religious leaders gathered here there are eager to hear from the democratic candidates have about how they intend to address issues important to their communities their community are sure there are 3 main issues that are folks that we're focused on health care economics and education and if you're not speaking to those issues then how can you reasonably expect our people to come out and vote for you worse some

don't seem happy with what they've heard so far i am a baden's of order. but. joe biden yet as i'm not. engage millennial and young folks we need to come together in the unified front and have the best candidate to move forward ideas that aren't seen as progressive. as viable because we're living in a time now where the wages are going up it's harder and harder and harder to get the things we need just one or a basic level and that doesn't mean the majority of black voters are. just struggling right. but we can feel the struggle we know the struggle because of our experience and it's very close to us for a while benny starr takes us to an exit bishan devoted to his 2nd album a water album climate change is an important topic of his songs and an issue he

bonded over with candidate senator elizabeth warren. and when brown is still undecided home to support we meet him again in his church preparing meals for people in neat his main concern while the candidates keep their promises once they win the nomination i don't see any of the candidates coming to talk this to me or the people in this community and soul will come will drop in to solicit all these folks get the crowd riled up and they will never see it again what they want to see in south carolina is a candidate who doesn't forget them and whose policies speak to the people. the colombian city of kut the hyena has become a hot spot for sex tourism many underage prostitutes need the money but disregard the dangers involved the campaign in iowa the wall aims to protect them.

during the day got about a mess duns with its vivid colors and vibrant caribbean charm a picture perfect holiday destination for tourists from all over the world but when the sun goes down things change. as night falls 6 workers flood the squares popular with foreigners many of them far too young to be doing this as a d.w.i. undercover reporter finds out after just a couple of minutes on the central plus side and. how old are you 16 how much is it tight 100 i know a place within walking distance it's safe i always go there. for nando who wishes to remain anonymous was 13 when strangers 1st offered him money for sex. when i saw the money i obviously gave in i didn't anticipate the harm it would do to me. but once you enter this vicious cycle which it undoubtedly is you can't

escape on your own you need tools and people who can get you back on the right track. in colombia prostitution is illegal before the age of 18 the fight against sexual exploitation of children is regulated by law but legislation wasn't able to protect fernando and thousands of others from becoming victims. to shield young people from those who want to take advantage of them a local foundation has launched a campaign. i am the wall. so you know is a defense strategy for our boys and girls in the tourism sector environment where there are protocols and codes of conduct we ask of service providers especially hotels to implement in coordination with the authorities that's the reaction part but the wool also doesn't put in prevention work and it tends miners whose rights have already been violated and. since its launch hundreds of hotels taxi drivers

and street vendors have joined the initiative one of them is victor he runs a beach tender rental and feels like much more than just another brick in the wall . opposite the beaches who knew about this problem. if we see something we make sure to tell people hey listen what you're doing is wrong we need to protect our children and we can't put them in the hands of criminals when i do this from my heart nobody is forcing me this is community and when i want for my community i fight with my heart my hands my feet my teeth with all i have. but not everybody is as dedicated as victor are undercover. porter was offered sex with a minor just metres away from 2 patrolling policeman proving once again that it takes a village to protect a vulnerable child but only one person to let it fall through the cracks.

the last journey takes us to great britain. during the nazi dictatorship thousands of germans were robbed of their citizenship. many of their descendants and they're fighting for german passports. marcella marx was born in sao paulo brazil thousands of kilometers away from her and still home in germany. my grandfather a left germany fled actually in 1937 he was only 21 years old when he left and he fled to brazil he says was thanks to his smothers foresight because she kind of knew that something was coming he was already not allowed to stay at university where he was studying at that time so in a way he wasn't any more

a phone sits than. the nazis systematically stripped german jews of all their rights now marcella is fighting to claim the german citizenship that was taken from her grandfather my brother and i felt very close to the german culture since a very young age was studied in a water school in brazil with german school and we always had this references from germany and european coach are present in our houses article 116 of the german constitution allows germans who citizenship was revoked by the nazis to apply to have it restored the same goes for their descendants but authorities turned down marcellus application on the grounds that her grandfather had left germany voluntarily. and he told me that it was he had left voluntarily it was appalling to hear something like that it was yes so we were angry but yes we we knew that we are fighting for our right cause

a just cause marcella soon learned that she wasn't alone and joined forces with a lobby group that helps hundreds of people who've been turned down. in january the group brought the debate to the bundestag felix couch men and his new wife isabelle from london founded the group 2 years ago they want to see a new more general law to prevent exclusions from article 116. this time the motion was barely projected the majority in parliament believes that 2 decrees passed last year to ease restrictions should suffice but some descendants are still excluded or they face bureaucratic hurdles marcella has since tried a 2nd time it's something that i have to do to honor the ones that are not here anymore and i think by many allowing and that knowledge and us as citizens this is only going to contribute to have a more fair just and

a more diverse. germany in the future it's been almost 3 years since marcello reapplied for german citizenship she's still waiting for a reply. so . the market. of the working world. is made in germany. on t.w. . to. do it yourself.
