citizens of the earth. during world war 2 thousands of polish children. even today many of them don't know their real parents were. they lived with this trauma. children the kidnapping campaign of knowledge. starts april 28th one to tell you. hello and welcome to focus on europe with me. 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 on a warning for our viewers this report contains graphic images of dead animals. court block invade near is hunting wild boar in germany's east. these hunters in 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. but even these hunters know that alone

probably won't be enough to prevent the spread of the disease to germany. comes and goes all you care advocate it just can't be i don't think you can contain a swine here just by hunting in the old sweatsuits and the conditions for wild boar are excellent. the mild winters allow even week newborns to survive so the population is 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. ski runs one of the largest pig farms here . a few weeks ago he still had 10000 pages. but he sold most of his animals before the prices collapsed. you know he has just 2000 left. but many of his stables are empty now.

if they find out at any time that the animals are in fact it will have to kill them all for you to say ship. to the whole next race that will mean in their mean euro loss for me stretching before the movement of movie because i just thought. 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. yet limbs tell will be more whole and we've always focused on well coming on as many aboard as possible ideally until there are none left. the was leave a good hour needs is it 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 if iris is spread in a single or could spread the virus here too all it takes is an animal swimming across the river oder or nice to have a no brainer to do. but what can be done to keep the polish bores 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 routes. you know they need to adjust to the situation that there's an electric fence blocking their way office was. supposed farmer. germany's electric fence will keep the virus outbreak in check. yeah obviously. not going to fence what chief nothing at all. if a bird picks it up or carcass and then flies across the border but you must show the virus will spread into germany as well should. have unlike 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. condition that we can try to reduce our numbers like. that's better than doing nothing would be so much to some of us on. our part of our power plant 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 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 art to pointer. off back up back off the beach but it's happening

faster and faster what we're losing more and more of the inland ice as a result of climate change. and that's causing people to come to greenland to see the ice melt. the tops fiord fjord of good hope. the danes once gave this name to the estuary today the few order is changing rapidly. the temperatures are rising the glaciers are receding the melt waters washing up sand banks in many bays. greenland lost more than 300000000000 tons of ice last year alone. his brother in law steers the boat he also notice is a change in the bay. and all we see this especially in summer then the entire fjord is open and there's a lot of lycia you go also really big icebergs. now in winter there are less. but stood it got better not drive into one that's going to

have as old as makes it. 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 nuke the danes founded the city nearly 300 years ago the tourists come mostly here to the old colonial harbor. the city has seen raw. that 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 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. the few in the store

all reinvest says are approaching us right now we're in a unique situation so we're getting a lot of attention and. 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 so. they supply it mainly to restaurants and supermarkets in it but have bigger plans you have to oversee who we want to supply all of greenland. to do that if we started here in new corn 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 so. this won't change so quickly but the goal is to produce locally the concert experience you're a bit of supper to get money into not to list that we have these domestically produced

fresh vegetables that don't have to be important it's safe to. see you. 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 to live from for from our perspective to showcase how close the ties

between the united states and bring. to us want to participate in the coming upswing in greenland. back with honors on his water taxi. to the new airport is to be finished in 3 years time and then tours from europe and the u.s. can fly directly to new. on his hopes for even more customers 1st fewer tours. and he said she got you know just like the souvenir shops sell t. shirts we sell for tours this is a 2 hour expressed or. 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 say do island 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 pictures and wanted to experience it herself. of initiatives and there's

a wind in danish. great immeasurable when you come here. and then there's all of this snow in the cold 15 am i find it absolutely fascinating. but what will the arctic look like in 50 or 100 years the greenlanders don't know but they'll adapt. 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 a break as it is threatening to change all of that. could you

imagine london without its rich colony arena and skinny without european delicacies like the next christians and butter cream cake without at full strudel and sapphic cake or safe retreats such as to road. and austrian pretzels. this is kid fail every nice style coffee house and restaurant in north london with rex at around the corner patrons hero worried the establishment might be forced to shut down. the canucks not the toys. now that i often indulge but 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. less interesting dynamic environment which recognize the coffee. kind of all know of course of honor goes up on. the coffee house was established by christiane nic he's been living in britain for 24 years he was deeply disappointed by the brics it felt london after all is his home he's certain 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 austria would get here faster than english products here in the harp but all the extra paperwork all the extra forms that are no need to be filled i would call scrunch boughten customs delays if it's are glad that will break up costs or of course the for was

a. scum of the pound has. ready for lnh 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 inference and maybe a mood bureaucracy. but all that changed in the past 3 years. in the area i want to discover and. 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 to be the basic

partner how many partners would be ok but we'd like you know more pretentious products like we sell just a bit a bit just a small amount i don't think that we would 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 soon other words for someone like myself and 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 a life without the delicious foods of continental europe. i am. 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 in 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 belonged 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 euro's

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 thanks to let'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 worker's representation functions. it is to me only way was to set up a self-help organization or anything that would take up the fight against the exploitation of the workers. not only of the

carman 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 the seamstress tells christina it will continue. in the workshops in the us. there was a problem with the care workers sitting next to me the boss yelled at her because she only finished 3 pieces while i had done 10 and he roared make more make more. of their worst the worst that 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 for ms rouer it's called the manner in norm so she'll have to find another job as a seamstress and make $200.00 euros a month. there for going anywhere in the 10 years i've been working i haven't had

one free weekends couldn't afford a vacation for myself and 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 their school their manufacturers the north macedonia that pay above the minimum wage and overtime and of improved working conditions one is moda but the buyers the big international labels look for the lowest prices. for a shirt that retails for 60 euros mota receives 3 that includes the cutting sawing and packaging. the garments may bear the label made in europe but that doesn't mean they aren't tainted 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 cost of. christina 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 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 men shirtmaker a limp even quit doing business with a north macedonian supplier altogether. a limp only client. the only reason for the reset certain quick fireman's that i was then that's been met and the employees wages be adjusted accordingly at the end of the day when the supplier didn't meet over big fire him and sent it on letterman for them conform

macbeth's not 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 have ceased 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 you're in a museum it's dark and empty in 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. the river shady friend will text us little tips were 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 after another has to be solved. if we scour the museum with our eyes peeled we should be able to find clues in every exhibit. 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 simple. wind 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 in the cameras are watching us everywhere. so just in the last month listen close it's a bit gritty here 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. until 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
