i. or the teachers british. i. am. me 2 things not going. to start me on t w. i low and a warm welcome to focus on europe i will are about to lower glad you could join us french cuisine is famous the world over so you may be surprised to hear that it's at the heart of a cultural war living the good life in france includes cullen airy delights such as neat and fish the food is so treasure that it was named a unesco world heritage and 2010. but

now a battle is raging over these a very foods by a group of vegans they want all animal products banned from food production they used radical methods against butchers restaurants and merchants to get their message across stephen's sooner has experienced their wrath firsthand he owns an organic butchery in paris is going to market hall that's where the activists targeted his shop and attacked him. 6 o'clock in the morning at the sunken tom markets stevens consumer is prepping a stall he's in again a butcher only handles meat from animals that are kept in accordance with her gun extern hundreds he's having a hard time understanding the world. this summer his stand was attacked by a group of militant deviants they poured red paint on his goods the beaconsfield

the attack putting the pictures on the internet. you know. 'd when i looked up 15 or 20 people were standing there shouting their slogans for the animals. it all went very fast. i went around the counter and a fight broke out. i broke a rib some of them couldn't work for a week and could feeney the attackers belong to an international association based in the french city of strasburg. there we met the swedish student just brutal stuff so. you know. it's been proven that a vegan diet is sufficient for all age groups so why keep on slaughtering animals it's now makes me sick. we live in a system in which people base their existence on earth for some work. every day 3000000 animals are murdered in france. 21 doesn't either

before the start and thinks the attack on butcher because sooner style is absolutely justified the fact the consumer is an organic butcher and cares about the welfare of the animals is a relevant to him. according to radical vegans the french should also do with cheese because they say dairy industry is cruel to animals. animal products should be banned as a matter of principle in the country of cuisine this causes some indignation. whether mussels from normandy or jumbo on the beyond many french delicacies are made from animal products french cuisine even has you know goes world cultural heritage protection. also people like restaurant owner florian p.r.t. could be targeted by the militant begins but he's not afraid he could lose his customers. if you try to all those people

we've only relevant and they're not going to eat less meat. on the contrary they'll develop a counter-reaction and say to themselves this is annoying now i'm going to eat meat more than ever. forget. never the less radical vegans are gaining ground in france they shake a purses by which shark auctions hoping to make france a front runner in the fight against the consumption of animal products. but that. we may have fewer be considered in other countries like the u.k. or the us but i hope that ready correction comes from us here in france we don't need to be millions. we all forceful i don't know what actions we release animals from the stables and rescue them from slaughter. stevens consumer is deeply shocked that he is a butcher was targeted by these activists. limited worship or was it my trade is my

entire life if a customer comes back and tells me that the meat was particularly good then i'm really happy it's great i'm at a loss for words but that but most of. the existence of butchers like assume it is completely irrelevant to activists just because starting in view of the suffering of animals he says the profession is trivial. limits. setup morally unacceptable must disappear there are no more executioners either there were no longer needed and the profession does appear to spending. moderates on the rights activists in france are suspicious of such radicalism forget got here has been fighting for unemotional fare for years she doesn't believe that violent action will be successful. when you throw stones at but your shops it's suddenly all about whether you are allowed to eat meat or not. the question of how the animals are actually

treated is completely forgotten. basic needs to consume is closing the stern since it's not in the shop he's grateful for every peaceful day when nothing bad happens. i would walk with me there's no way i'm giving up my job and i started my apprenticeship at 14 and now i'm 34 i do this with a passion and will continue doing so refer to the. kisumu billy's e o's a difference the land of gold many cuisine. so what do you think should delicacies such as fog wa and tar tar be banned let me know your thoughts on twitter. soccer is nothing without fans words from a legendary scottish coach they are the heart of the game and can inspire players when the chips are down so what happens when a team is denied its fans it's a reality for the arabs for soccer team from diyarbakir turkey

a kurdish stronghold supporters of the club but make no secret of their true to stride and many turkish nationalists see them as a threat so when the 1st whistle is sounded during a match like here in the city of tarsus politics are often brought on to the pitch . 2nd turkish division club med spore is getting ready for the relegation battle in tarsus a city by the mediterranean the team boss is about to leave for the stadium and the club president expects a tough awake and. yet again it's for fans are not allowed on to the grounds this has been going on for years now the official reason being security concerns the fans that came nevertheless are disappointed comping guarantee security for just 30 to 40 away fans. provocations never originate from our side. we're close from 0 to understanding the peace list. in route to the stadium the team's bus is

accompanied by an armored police vehicle apparently because the club's president and his players are from the kurdish stronghold. city and. nobody's bought the debt we need to travel without us friends every time so it's not fair. and it hurts when. you see us in the stadium the police are out in force the kurdish visitors are greeted by the turkish national colors. the match is not going well for the opposing fans shout this is tarsus i won't get out of here again in the end ahmed spore loses 50. club president mecham killed was russians out of the stadium. at least this time the team and club officials are spared being beaten up unlike in october. the grim result dampened the players' mood since the authorities banned their fans they've

been on a steady decline. of course we'd love to have her fans supporting us. have stopped counting how many matches we've played without them up this will be inherited from the list. even after the match. waiting fans aren't allowed near their team and kill of us and his players have to wait to the police always let them out of the stadium last quoting security reasons. the kurdish city of dealbreakers home to ahmed spore is set on the banks of the 2 gris river in the past there were recurring violent clashes between kurdish nationals and the turkish state here. the elected mayor of a kurd was removed by the government the accusation supporting terrorism now portraits of president aired of on line the streets. met in kill of us a lawyer by profession has witnessed the decline of democracy in his hometown he

himself has been indicted several times. today you know randi press conference or any other public expression of opinion are allowed in this city anymore. but the kurdish question needs to be solved if we succeed in that. could become a beautiful place on this earth. but there still seems to be a long road ahead ahmed spore players have also been repeatedly targeted by the authorities striker dennys not he was born in germany 3 years ago he had to appear in court on terrorist propaganda charges he had publicly criticized turkish security forces after returning to germany his car was shot at on the highway by unknown person. whether they're turkish or kurdish many players don't want to play and care and more give a struggle to find sponsors his club faces being financially ruined the new stadium

on the city's outskirts won't change that either but mention kill of us want to keep this club alive as part of kurdish identity in turkey. we live in turkey by sure right here and for a country where everyone can voice their opinion without fear of repercussion as citizens and that's what defines our met me that on the spot us. he hopes the story of the only kurdish professional football club in turkey continues even with empty stands and if necessary. germany is unique in europe for its 3 tears pool system it's a guide children into different high schools based on their primary school grades and only one type of secondary school grants access to a university education critics say the system discriminates against children from lower income families and that one's future path should be decided so early on

robben from the south get there has been the odds and is on track to graduate from university still he is plagued by doubts and worries about his future. robin is earned a high school diploma no small feat in the south skitter industrial region where only one in 4 youngsters achieve this that's only her of the german average. in germany it still matters tremendously into what kind of a family kids are born into and. i don't i mean i want schools my parents became unemployed and we suddenly faced a whole new situation as a family context imus for effect then i could understand why my parents told me to learn a trade to move to something less risky meaning of the cycle. but i was a bit rebellious and i told myself i need to get out of fear and do what's right for me and that's what most of this was to. at

16 robin decided to carry on to high school to get a diploma in front of. my father was a heavy drinker and got very angry and he used to get very loud. and the day he went up into my room because of my decision to stay in school and directed at him against everything i did. that same night robin moved out he's still in good terms with his mother and sister. and confidants that he couldn't study at home the television was always blaring my husband would have it on while he slept we couldn't turn it off i didn't think robin would pull this off to be honest. because of me going in today robin studies months and philosophy in brown strike showing a sister around that is university. she's currently studying for a high school diploma and wants to become a teacher. he's

a role model because he managed to achieve all those things i want to do he's an inspiration. robin meets his former mentor she's from a private foundation called studio on campus that helps a 1300 youngsters from working class families graduated from high school and adopted to university life because in germany these kids don't enjoy the same educational opportunities others do. i think a lot still needs to improve when it comes to equality of opportunity and education . today a person social background still largely determines that person's opportunities in life and what kind of education they get i think a lot of potential is left untapped in this way. katherine philip mentor robin joining us final stages in high school and the 1st year at university that's

important because studies show that students from learned academic parents are far less likely to pursue a doctorate. in germany a person's background still largely determines that person's life chances and crew prospects more so than in most other european countries. today robbins back at his old school talking to 10th graders might be deciding soon whether to remain in school to qualify for uni or to learn a trade. many of my friends on that decision difficult turmel's. why not they all managed to achieve something as nothing let me tell you about it. and that's what is referred to that's here. he tells the students that 19 of his former classmates went on to learn a trade. for earned a technical diploma and only human serve got

a high school diploma. it's interesting i'm interested in medicine and that's why i've applied to become a nurse i've got a job interview coming up. but someday i would like to become a doctor. but for that you need to attend university. studio. my teacher suggested i do ok so training which was i didn't know what i should do at the time . just like the student robert sometimes wonders of higher education is the right choice for him today's meeting say to an all school friend of his who left school after 10th grade to become a car mechanic. an engineering degree would have been interesting anything with technology. so why didn't you roll it university this is . well it's a big deal. i was scared i wouldn't pass my exams and all that in those years good money and plans to get a mercer crossman certificates or. maybe even start

a business. there for me things are not as clear everything is much more open there's still a certain risk. is a cool. robin has at least 2 more years of studying ahead of him for his university degree. hot stuff for. myself and i wasted my time doing this of course it would be disappointing to take up a job but my degree is of no use to realize that i should have made a good living like cedric 17 feel or are you worried about the future yes yes. taking a ride in cedric's to talk golf wondering whether they've taken the right decisions for the future. well many countries in europe are struggling to cope with immigration others are feeling the effects of emigration

nations like lithuania were suffering from brain drain as young people left for opportunities elsewhere so the former soviet state came up with a plan to stem the flow and now lithuania is wooing investors with its business friendly policies its capital vilnius is cosmopolitan innovative and above all affordable people like eustace yet now schools are helping shape the country's future bringing lithuanians abroad back home. lithuania's capital to me as is growing vertically and clothing promising the baltic metropolis has become a focal point for writing talent and draws many young people here they're developing the digital world of tomorrow eustace is the country's own mark zuckerberg he's 35 and has turned multiple start a piteous into flourishing business models humans up is his newest project the idea

anyone can present knowledge on the platform whether it's on starting a business clothing or a healthy diet interest abuses then pay for meeting a share of the proceeds is donated. we believe that for months after the next facebook we have a fairly fast traction people love it people start booking. each other for a good think knowledge and 1st burning questions they have and didn't find the answers for months sometimes years everyone just super happy so far. investors have already gotten on board and used to since teens are hopeful the idea will be profitable soon it could even yield more money than vintage an online marketplace for secondhand clothing whose headquarters are in vilnius the vintage idea was used this is a stepping stone into the startup world 10 years ago but once the company's turnover

moved into millions he withdrew from day to day operations. these are now run by thomas plantinga who came to visit the us one and a half years ago. everybody is really in a mall it let's just build stuff and let's make this a better place i want to work hard i will get like a better future and that is something that is ingrained in everybody so you have a very sharp analytical mindset very strong work in tulsa and that brings a different type of energy and a different type of the livery then you get. from teams in germany in the netherlands there's an optimistic spirit in the lithuanian eye she said earlier young people would leave the country over religion is a serious problem. but then lithuania's government decided to lend it full support to the startup sector it invested in broadband expansion and the founding of companies was simplified last year 611 startups were registered in lithuania over 6

years more than 4300 jobs have been created better ruta kenya heads the organization start up lithuania making with the lean years i.t. sector more visible around the world everyone is going digital everyone is going so lithium doesn't want to be a low priced country low price producers and you know any more we want to be in the relations and country so we are trying to create stars of paradise here. lithuania is eager to get emigrants to return to their home country and many young lithuanians who studied and worked abroad are in fact coming back. like 33 year old monica cooter who worked as a london based media manager but decided the job wasn't for her. in london i will go this career path that i'm not interested in and i want to make things i can actually live in less mania live in my country. on such days that meet

with my friends but my bringing in my solutions can travel globally and i think it's very very attractive. back home in vilnius monica founded it and by a company that wants to help children understand the digital age it all starts with you being curious about what you can create and i would love our kids not to lose that sense of curiosity and to carry it with them and use it as a real a real biological to. compliment it with less available in the world and. use this dreams of turning to the yes into eastern europeans silicon valley. everything he takes in dogs growth seeds i am hateful now out for a while who unsurprisingly have their very own into the graham account. used to love trying out new things pushing boundaries and taking. this rain is

does a small shop implement a living legend darryl dr pryce age 87 and day in day out he works on human bodies he's worn out hundreds of machines and sees himself as a scribe not an artist he's proud of being the oldest tattoo artist in europe 70 years ago his motifs were for criminals sailors ladies of love nowadays they're for the rich and poor young and old that's for business the fine line between love and hate. the love business to to assume the love this with full of all because of a. as a relationship that was opened. his 1st tattoo in 1945 he was 13 his mother was furious and was about to beat him until she saw the word mother.

price fell for ours and his self-taught but sometimes he made bad mistakes he has a reading and spelling weakness his home in wales cape town sydney the stations before he settled in the south of england it's expensive 50 years since he had to throw a drunken sailor out of his shop. because he says political pressure to the system you know comes through the roof so yes we can everybody. who conquered board was so you have a passion of the whole because this is the richest show you drew that it's over the country but this year with kerry. in the end he passed on his passion to his only son still. of himself dr rice says he may not be the greatest artist but perhaps the most passionate one. which is why he'll continue tattooing until he's no longer able to. and that's all from me
