beethoven is for. the telephone is important to. be talking 202250000 or verse 3 here. hello and welcome to focus on europe with me lar buffalo. 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 gone a warning for our viewers this report contains graphic images of dead animals. court blocking 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 food even these hunters know that alone probably won't be enough to prevent the spread of the disease to germany. concept also you care advocate it i mean if you just can't i don't think you can

contain a swine fever just by hunting and the only. groups in the feeding conditions for wild boar are excellent. the mild winters a low even weak 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. probably 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 aren't out at any time that the animals are infective faces will have

to kill them all for you to say ship. proof that a whole new place that would mean and then your own loss for me stretching before they moved over to the bits i was. sophia bator chuck heads the local veterinary board in jail on a 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 all counting on you as many aboard as possible ideally until there are none left. the most leave a good our needs is that up aside from bullets she believes in information numerous flyers are supposed to come polish farmers fears of swine fever 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 might 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 all it takes is an animal swimming across the river oder or nice to have a no brainer lots to do. but what can be done to keep the polish boers 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 roots of this 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. yeah all of us that they're. not going to fence what chief nothing at all. if a bird takes out a boar carcass and then flies across the border but you must show 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. we can go from the we can try to reduce their numbers like this is ways. that's better than doing nothing it's almost all some of us on. our part of our own problems are 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 map is now being rewritten its 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 business is booming in a resource rich greenland a veritable treasure island and for water taxi owners and us 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 floor during the arctic winter. off back up back all the beef that's happening faster and faster. we're losing more and more of the inland as a result of climate change. and it's causing people to come to greenland to see the

ice melt. the tops of your 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 sand banks in many bays. then lost more than 300000000000 tons of ice last year alone. his 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 does open and there's a lot of lycia that go also really big icebergs. now would go into their right as. much good if not better not drive into one that's good it was all speaks to. under speed game 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 nuc 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 nixon her ancestors were fishermen and 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. all investments are approaching us right now we're in a unique situation so we're getting a lot of attention that. 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 you have to have this you know we want to supply all of greenland. to do that in what we started here in nuclear 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 for. this won't change so quickly but the goal is to produce locally or at least that it's been through a bit of supper to tell you that money is not to us that we have these domestically produced fresh vegetables that don't have to be important it's safe to.

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 was 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 we 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 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 tourists from europe and the u.s. can fly directly to new. on just hopes for even more customers 1st for your tours. and he said she got you just like the souvenir shops sell t. shirts we sell for tours this is a 2 hour expressed her and you get a good view of the few words system in greenland your name 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 picturesque and wanted to experience it herself. of initiatives and there's a wind in danish still she does great immeasurable when you come here and then there's the lists naomi the cold turkey national i find it absolutely fascinating.

but what will the arctic look like in 50 or 100 years the greenlanders don't now but they'll adapt to 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 is unclear 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 café come to enjoy a slice of vienna but break as it is threatening to change all of that. could you imagine london without its rich colony every man's game without european

delicacies like than in a christian hand but a cream cake without at full strudel and saffron cake or safe retreats such as 2 road. and austrian pretzels. this is kid fans of the new style coffee house and restaurant in north london with bricks at around the corner patrons hero wondering the establishment might be forced to shut down. the cakes not a toy. not that i often indulge will it's lovely to see them and to have dishes like. well they remind us of visits that we have made to europe. and what we did today 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 and less interesting dynamic environment would you recognise

a coffee. kind of on or course on a course of on air through the coffee house was established by christiane nic 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 the harp but all the extra paperwork all the extra forms that are now literally filled i would because transport and customs delays if it's that will break up costs or of course the for was a. scum of the pound has. ready for than 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 we were we were able to go anywhere in europe we are well come on everywhere groping here in great britain was exciting sex an influence and maybe i'm a bureaucracy. but all that changed in the past 3 years. in the hard yards he discovered. that's why many europeans in britain are feeling distraught london 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 little bit 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 so no other words for someone like myself but 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 breck's it being a reality now many londoners simply don't want to imagine 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 christina paiva 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 $9000.00 workers most of them women hardly any of them earn more than the legal minimum wage in north macedonia $200.00 euros a month lower than in bangladesh and 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. of much of the car cindy got never shit i was unable to start a works council the workers didn't even know what that was or how workers representation function it's. the only way was to set up a self-help organization that would take up the fight against the exploitation of the workers. have acquitted their. not only of the garment workers paid badly they're treated badly as well. the monotonous tasks in a never changing posture just the triggers allergies factory holes left and heated

in winter and overheated in summer the old 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 broken to. in the workshops. there was a problem with a coworker 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. than their worst the worst catarina has quit her job she trained as a nurse but without connections or paying bribes she can't find any jobs in health care reform is what's called the manner in norm so she'd have to find another job as a seamstress and make $200.00 euros a month. there for going in there in the 10 years i've been working i haven't had one free weekends 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 you know

with this. is our manufacturers the north macedonia the pay above the minimum wage and overtime and they've improved working conditions $1.00 is mota 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 are untainted by cheap labor and exploitation . but the big foreign brands are trying to introduce higher social standards here but these cost money also that the core stuff. christine 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 diapers and 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 with his only client. visit and for that we said certain great fireman's that i was then that's been met and the employer use wages be adjusted accordingly at the end of the day when the supplier didn't meet our big fireman started on that and for them conforming macbeth's no explains that he called the abuses to stop a limp even paid stoping more to do so but nothing changed. but may put stovey out

of business and 250 employees on the street is workshops of c's production pressure from the international corporations is growing reflecting to consider for their image. ever fewer customers are willing to buy clothes made under inhumane conditions here in a museum it's dark and empty and front of you is rembrandt's nightwatch a painting worth 500000000 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. and yuck and martin have come to play

a game and they've invited me along. a rather shady friend will text us little tips we're 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 see other things in view objects much longer and more intensively. 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 muscle is sometimes it's a bit gritty you know but fortunately 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. . their secret same. 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.
