to the least. we can make a difference by choosing reforestation already forced recycling for disposable smart new solutions on the street selling our. is truly unique and we know that that uniqueness is what allows us to wear them through. the ideas of the environmental scene in kabul 3000 on g.w. and on. the a. a low 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 other mortgage seen on the right of your screen was the mayor of the northern port city of good 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 adam ovid's 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.

by these troll factories. just information spread about pavel. accusations in the defamation. that's what killed him. in the 1980 s. pavel adam overachievers 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 damasks mayor adam overage was the face of a different liberal poland and for years the target of hate propaganda on january 18th 2019 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 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. 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 that's possible you know within 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. a certificate

of the model for hospital this was something that was. that i have never you know just think about an expected 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 and then when the freedom of the speech we need to. 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 heat.

fortunately today and many countries populist governments resort to mechanisms which are based on manipulating people of washington mindful of our new role. magdaléna says she's not afraid. her husband told her not to be she still senses his presence. and the pad saw it a lot of it and that i still wear my wedding ring on my right hand to. married women do here in poland to get on. 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 my girl and i don't know which doesn't want to limits a poland 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 are a matter of alternative to champagne but there's a problem because prozac a 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 traditionalist slide from cesco drizzy on 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 this year this family has owned a vineyard here for 3 generations. the ventnor is proud of its impossible hills there the whole of genuine present go. the fact that they have ties down in the loans with the same name annoys him. see that all on their ads you see pictures of our beautiful hills which discipline 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 be a den the 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. if this is where prosecco was born between. in qana. 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 percent as a mixed drink in red or orange. this mass produced product is made 125000

hectares in 501 centers. last year we sold nearly 500000000 bottles of prosecco. that means more market power and a higher degree of product recognition north everyone in the per 2nd business benefits from that is just. about the big vineyards with large steel tanks the emphasis is on volume. the final is the net day presents the deo see sparkling wine producers the d o c that nation is now valid the 9 provinces in the northern italian regions of annette though and fairly. 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

involved be a dandy they now want to preserve their culturally protected product from low income petition a group of established vintners meet in this old wine cellar. if they choose the best bottle every year the perception was be pure and made only from the grapes that have grown here. and. get 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 by hand. the slopes are too steep for machines every square metre here requires 5 times as many working hours as down the lawn and. each grape cluster

must be cut by hand to get up all of the made basket must be carried up or down the slopes or stout or. was your me. in the lowlands whoever machines harvest the grapes worlds collide the worlds of present go. in velda be a then a the more convinced than ever that they must defend their identity. francesco dressy and looks at not compromises where food and drinks are concerned tradition is tradition among all the we are who we are not but i sit in the chair more. and 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 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 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 solid 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. before the crisis i already saw homeless people in abandoned buildings in the city

center. christos fundis has provided an income for about 150 homeless people in the last few years as vendors of the newspaper shadia english craft. fotis adam or pelosi is one of these vendors 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 any more. talking to people the work it's like medicine in a farm or. a life for the homeless christine can make it look like this oh dear 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. it's great to see these people start smiling again and you've given up all the play with. your trouble.

yanis call it 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. puts us 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 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 christos on the phone to . the man. we make every effort to ensure that our guests feel comfortable in this place of solidarity going to is going to draw me ask many guests come here not just for the food or drinks they want to support the homeless project with the revenue they generate. new labor accordingly i like this place here it's more than just a restaurant it's designed to help people in need. a little bit better for. the king of the homeless christos other volunteers 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 destroying them or 2. the people we hire must meet certain criteria

they must be homeless and at least 50 years old. yet there's little and they must have boiled an egg in their life and really want to work. for him of course as. 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 it is not enough to give the homeless food and a bad signal that go along with the fuck up you also have to make them feel like a full member of society from another group or meet christos telefon to see 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 island di stage 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 in fact it was 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. on 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 farms. they got. back then and when i put 12000000 kroner into my 1st winter 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 heats 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 isn't. trenberth smart straw is used to fire boilers for a mini bio of 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 unplugging her electric car. the house and. 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. my all the islands projects are coordinated here as energy academy in 1907 it was commissioned by the danish government to revolutionize energy use on sam so. we succeeded in transforming our carbon footprint 1st making it neutral and now even negative people in a key in between she said today we produce more energy than we use the direction the whole world wants to take me he bad again bill. gifts that have been brought

from around the world countless delegations have been inspired by the small island . this shows on the world us next week we'll be having visitors from new zealand and so city together some 4 to 5000 guests have been here so far from george negus taking 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 launch in 2020 a passenger ferry to the mainland. made of aluminum will be very lightweight and soon far less diesel. 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 focused 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 that the bottle surely theater now even among the youngest competition is stiff and training staff so did young sammy all 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. out more. turn them out out out. and live in your old semi on 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 bloody bus stop branch of the moscow state academy of choreography also known as the bolshoi ballet school. it has a language all its own. and you go ready to start the 1st time i heard paul on your tail i thought what tail that and how do you pull it in. or turn your knee. or thighs out. yeah. 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 and that you know then i started missing my mother. some you know some enough comes from pure a big jump at sound and rushes far east some 1000 kilometers from a lot of us stuck. 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. well of the children enjoy the winter break summer and purrs 1st performance but he's allowed a few days at home before. one would be mutual it's his opportunity to get to know another world. and maybe even to become famous slobbered aka car. back in vladivostok the performers enter the final rehearsal face. stop 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. i just used to buy their to do for the do it that's what i was most afraid of losing friends. the day of the premiere and simulants performance arrives. all 1356 seats in front of us stocks opera house are sold out. in the audience is sentience funny we've come all the way from here to john to see him performing.

in the sense this is my chance. to adelaide school they said it would be the chance of a lifetime and i thought really i have no problem with that you put your. 11 year old boy from bit of the john his air into the rose of the 1st a clean career in bali. and perhaps the 1st step on his path to funny. stuff sammy 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 all home page on d w dot com for visit all facebook page d w still to come back next time around until and find by i'm sure.
