discovery. subscribe. documentary. oh and a very warm welcome indeed to focus on europe with the peter craven and we begin this week in eastern europe in poland to be precise where a man called pavel other mortgage seen on the right of your screen was the man of the northern port city of downs 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'd 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 has suffered by these troll factories along with the distant from asian spread about pavel. the accusations in the defamation.

that's what killed him. in the 1980 s. pavel i demo that she was a student leader in the celadon issue in the lead by less at the dance shipyard slowly dawn helped put an end to communist rule in poland. years later when the populist to modern justice party came to power as down 6 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 demoed which was taking part in poland's biggest charity fundraiser when he was stabbed in front of millions of viewers his attacker then grabs the microphone and shouted hate slogans against adam over 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.

and his allies became known for issuing symbolic death certificates for 11 mayors who agreed to welcome refugees to their cities the certificate stated. liberalism multiculturalism stupidity. the public prosecutor's office which is controlled directly by the justice minister found no reason to charge the campaign's initiators measure that's possible you know we can call for violence and hate. but it fell within the framework of public debate. and that we 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 the people you know the. certificate of the model where hospital this was something. 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 means. freedom of the speech we need to. really group of. professionalism 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 peace. in the high monday march 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. and the parents saw it a lot of it and that that i still wear my wedding ring on my right hand to. married women do here in poland to his own. because i still feel like his wife. i don't like the word widow. magdaléna i don't know that she's doing all she can to keep her husband's legacy alive. and it's a fight that madeline i don't know which doesn't want to limits a poll and after all hate speech knows no borders no one a very different note we had to italy and i wonder are you a fan of prozac oh the sparkling wine made in italy that provides

a light that i remember seek alternative to champagne but there's a problem because prozac are 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 watering down the brand as a result it seems there's a prosaic oh war in the making. vides as far as the eye can see from chess go to the family has owned the vineyard here for 3 generations. the vintner is 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 to. see them on their ads you see pictures of our beautiful hills which discipline them but yet they're prosecco does not come from here at all. you can't advertise in an area you don't even own. the mineral rich soil of the steep slopes of be

a den they gives the glitter a great variety the unique flavor for 2nd. yeah better but only a fraction of the percent go sold worldwide comes from producers like francesco to see him. if this is where prosecco was born between. due to the efforts of our great grandfathers it's thanks to them that our sparkling wine is known and loved all over the world. for the simple. this kind of advertising as done by competition from the lowlands is below his dignity because they even advertise the prosecco as a mixed drink in red or orange. this mass produced products is made 125000 hectares in 501 centers.

last year we sold nearly 500000000 bottles of her 2nd. 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 net day presents the deal see spock. in wine producers the dio see that it nation is now valid in 9 provinces in the northern italian regions of annette though and feel really. 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 low lying competition

a group of established vintners meet in this old wine cellar. the only way. they choose the best bottle every year the perception was be pure and made only from the grapes that have grown here. 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 metre here requires 5 times as many working hours as down the lowlands. each grade koester must be cut by hand to get up all of the made basket must be carried up or down the

slopes it. was you i mean that man. in the lowlands who ever machines harvest the grapes worlds collide the world's a perceptible. envelop of beer then they are more convinced than ever that they must defend their identity. francesco drizzy and looks at no compromises where food and drinks are concerned tradition is tradition among all the we are who we are not but i said in the child more. and you were conservative and don't want our wonderful hill to simply be globalized and commercialized like the lowlands. not being all that now. so francesco dristan 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 be a deadly 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 it's crystal salad frontis the man known as the cane the home. christos often goes outside to his athens he doesn't need to walk far until he runs into homeless people or there 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. before the crisis i already saw homeless people in abandoned buildings in the city center. christos fun to says provided an income for about

150 homeless people in the last few years as vendors of the newspaper shadia in english craft. fotis adam or pelosi is one of these then daughters 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. so i'm happy that i can work and do not have to beg anymore. talking to people the work it's like medicine in a farm or. a life for the homeless chris just fun to see can make it look like this force here get their ass a little 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 given up all to play with. you're probably going to. yanis caught so says the homeless team's coach he tries to teach them tactics and playing

discipline and of course to give the motivation he knows what he's talking about for years young is called source 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 on this scum of the bottom if you recall at 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 see up stairs the editorial offices of the street newspaper and a workshop for former homeless people are located. small metal houses hanging 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 crystal sun the fun to. open with the man. we make every effort to ensure that our guests feel comfortable and this place of solidarity going to is going to go on we 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 love me so badly i like this place you know it's more than just a restaurant it's designed to help people in need. and the final plea. that king of the homeless christos other scientists had 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 destroying them or 2. of 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. in the afternoon christos telefunken is goes back to the world of the homeless their life is particularly hard in greece the state does practically nothing for them or far argue it is not enough to give the homeless food and a bad job a lot of the biblical proof i could not help you also have to make me feel like a full member of society from another group. christos elephant is the king of the homeless in athens has big plans in the future he wants to get even more people off 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 forssell fuels and one of the places that's leading the way here is the danish island of zamzam 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 oh i learned the ice age left gently rolling countryside here. but tina and her husband ben had other reasons to leave the city life copenhagen and or who's behind and move here 3 years ago. they set out to take part in an experiment it was the island communities bid to save the world. for us. and employed in fact that some so is far ahead in terms of sustainability and what they started here 20 years ago inspired us we wanted to be a part of this. one a little excursion around the island with a population of around $3500.00 seems ideal and in many ways like any other danish island what stands out are the many wind turbines of the 1st generation and the

outside solar panels in front of the town hall and men like the farmer you're going schonberg one of the energy pioneers 20 years ago he and other islanders joined forces to create sam's those 1st wind farm. they got. back then and when i put 12000000 kroner into my 1st winter blend i had sleepless nights. i had to change banks and go deep into debt and food but that's what you do for mother earth for fuel and. he and the others were determined to enzymes as dependence on oil and gas from the mainland investments paid off now he earns money as a wind and solar power farmer and the straw he grows in the summer he's islanders homes and winter. the straw grows here and the oil stays in the ground elsewhere. the best part is that in spring the straw grows back again pretty smart

doesn't it. trembled smart straw is used to fire boilers for a mini bio the c.h.p. plant and he sounds 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 and plugging her electric car. has to be completely 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 87 year old good turn home at 1st it bothered miss home that she couldn't hear the car pull up anymore it's entirely noiseless. because she knew then my but then i thought i don't care what they drive the important thing is that they come by. my 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 the negative winds give us people to see a man in a key in between so today we produce more energy than we use the direction the whole world wants to take and he bad again really. gifts that have been brought from around the world countless delegations have been inspired by the small island . there. 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 from 2 of them just like you know not 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 travelled 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 in staff so did young sami on make the grade and has his dream come true. ringback 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. there when you're old so new and semyonov is getting ready for his very 1st appearance on the big stage in the cracker 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 it is the 1st time i heard pulling your tail i thought what tail 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 school especially when you're still so young but then i started missing my mother. so me and some enough can from pure

a big jump that sound in russia's 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 valley academy. full of the children enjoy the winter break semi and purrs 1st performance but he's allowed a few days at home before. one would you commute to and it's his opportunity to get to know another world. and maybe even to become famous slobbered a car. back and vladivostok the performers into the final rehearsal face. stuff you have to follow the music. man since. i was afraid of the big stage. yeah i was afraid the adult

dancers who can do everything but see me dance and laugh. don't have to buy and you have to do it for they don't that's what i was most afraid i was foolish to think that. the day of the premiere and simulants performance arrives. all 1356 seats inside the bus docks opera house or sold out. in the audience is sentence family who've come all the way from here the john to see him perform.

missions this is my chance. to adelaide school they said would be the chance of a lifetime and i thought really i have no problem with that you provide your. 11 year old boy from peter the john his and into the rows of the 1st the cleanness i mean his career in bali. perhaps the 1st step on his perth to fame. great stuff set me on him what a wonderful smile well that's all for now from focus on europe thanks so much for joining us and if you'd like to see any of our reports again just go to our home page on d w dot com full visit all face book page details will use them and do come back next time around until and find by i'm sure.
