the german culture looking at the stereotype cracks in here seem to be from the countryside i'm ok. yeah you did see the picture there's drama there you go it's cold out there. i'm rachel join me to meet the germans on the w. post. hello and the warm welcome into focus on europe on live show and it's great to have your company so far the coronavirus pandemic hasn't affected germany as much as it has many other countries but the danger isn't over yet it's covert 1000 hotspots are still popping up in different parts of the country. germany's biggest meat processing company 10 years had to be shut down because of an outbreak many workers

are from eastern europe they often employed by subcontractors and the times have to toil away under dire conditions the recent outbreak has upset the local population . the numerous covered 1000 cases the quarantine the temporary lockdown all that has brought some negative publicity to the town of a good rule book where 10 years is headquartered at the outbreak has also shed light on the meat industry as a whole people who have worked in slaughterhouses tell half and partly ensure main working conditions i'm glad mr shand and. are from romania they were lured to germany with the promises of well paid jobs but once they arrived they were met by a harsh reality. ads like these promised well paid jobs in germany's meat industry rumanian companies like the m.g.m. trade in recruiting agency use them to find workers for the german labor market and to learn gabriela are among those who fell for these ads desperate for work they

left their kids behind and signed up with a different subcontractor. good luck with the thought in this this sub contractor promised a lot accommodation practical training. but the reality is totally different the way charlie got there if the. workers live in cramped dorms like these for which 250 use are deducted street from the monthly salary with super little privacy it was no wonder the coronavirus rapidly spread among workers a major outbreak was going to happen. at least 1500 workers at the tinnies meat processing plant became infected either at work in their dorms. or on their way there. also that you know our minivan only had 7 seats but we often shared it with up to 10 passengers we'd leave 2 hours the

4 hour shift began and arrive home 2 hours after it ended said regional. the board for 2 months we were 11 hours every night without a break. but they only paid us for 8 hour shifts got all boarded. at the chinese meat processing plant in north western germany labor slaughter and cutoff as many as $25000.00 pigs per day. nobody it denise is willing to comment to us on the situation in the hygiene rules for workers instead denise tells us we should contact the some contractors who hire the workers . the offices of m.g.m. like those of other subcontractors are located near the chinese factory but here too nobody is willing to talk to us and telling gabriella were hired by a difference of contractor to package meat at the tourney's plant. for me if they had promised us $1400.00 euro in cash without deductions for rent

and transportation for 8 hour days that was what they said no. but their reality is by no means is a dealing as feet of eden troops landscape it seems many locals knew about this parallel world. whole time i know everyone knew about this. occurrence for years this was an open secret. it was an undercover thing. to do this didn't end well if it casts a bad light on our region that people have known about this for years. when the corona virus outbreak threatened to spread to the wider region the dire working conditions could no longer be ignored german authorities impose a look down and shut down the meat factory for the time being for years catholic priest peter costello has been criticizing the grim situation in the meat industry he says the authorities should have intervened much sooner paula men and women are

worn down by these working and living conditions and they're treated as if their human dignity counts for nothing and mentioned as if they're 3rd class human beings this will continue at a huge cost to people's wellbeing unless we as a society are willing to intervene and regulate this industry. some industry representatives are calling for a complete overhaul of the meat industry not just working conditions. small slaughterhouses are having a tough time on the market they're forced to invest money although meat prices are falling. i just think unfortunately that's why we are seeing a concentration of big slaughterhouses they keep growing and smaller ones disappear that's a shame shot back in the fleet of eden blue angle and gabriella no have nothing despite months of hard work but they wouldn't give up they also could reach a point the latter. but you have to sacrifice yourself for your family of.

course but i don't care so your children have a better future that because you. for now will head home to rumania and their children. their hoops of securing a well paid job in germany were in vain. the global cold with 1000 outbreak has shaken the economies of many countries and regions one of the sectors that has been hard hit is the aviation sector many people in europe are spending their some of occasion at home so most planes that should be up in the air taking passengers so the whole u.s. nations are grounded we now take you to the spanish city of ted well because that's where these planes are being parked at the moment it's a business model that's giving the local economy a much needed boost. the countryside around terra well is

one of empty villages in depopulated valleys. locals call it spanish lapland. but in recent months it's come back to life. aircraft from the major airlines land a terrible small airport almost daily. they need a place to park during the current virus pandemic. highland climate and lots of sun create the ideal conditions for europe's biggest parking lot for aircraft. the fees are said to run anywhere from $300.00 to 2000 euros a day much lower than at large airports. terrible airport opened in 2013 as an industrial aerospace how now the business model is really taking off. the table with the right not to we have quite a lot going on starting in april the number of planes increased by 50 percent.

since global air traffic grows old mark we've been able to assist europe's leading airlines with our service. residents of nearby villages such as say you are happy to see the airport doing such booming business. in the early 20 tons when the storage facility was done planning local farmers protested now the airport is attracting qualified personnel quite a change for a region a sparsely populated as the arctic circle. i am going to the airport is an important employer with and we're hoping our village will continue to go along with that instead of shrinking in there with. the villages industrial area has already felt the positive economic effects or nesta is scared goes carpentry for example. he produces boxes and packing materials for the airport

. they're needed when an aircraft is scrap in the parts have to be shipped. all of them feel confident that we'll be able to keep working at the current pace. the airport just carrying on the same level here not slowing down. even most of the aircraft here will eventually take to the skies again. until then they have to be packed up and secured and maintain. the airport will soon be filled to its capacity of $130.00 parked aircraft the demand is still growing. so the storage space is slated to be doubled in area. just. to expand our capacity and offer our services to even more airlines with an official. hardly any tourists ever find their way to tear well

yet suddenly it's become an international aircraft of an aircraft parking lot among the fields of grain. the summer of 1905 was one of the darkest chapters of recent european history thousands of men and boys were killed during this ribbon it's a massacre in the bosnian war 25 years later the ones haven't healed many victims are still missing families are searching for anything that will give them to some sort of closure the american catherine baumberger is helping identify the remains of victims and bring perpetrators to justice. 3 bones and a shred of cloths and yet the revelation of a sad fate one of 8000 victims of the celebrity need said genocide is recovered here from a mass grave in eastern bosnia the bones are later brought together. catherine baumberger is the director general of the international commission on missing

persons she has been instrumental in finding and identifying the bodies of the disappeared she cannot put the 7 it's a genocide behind her. you know many ways every day. you are eternally dealing with this issue now 20 years later. moved to the hague from the bosnian capitals they were able with you years ago and this state of the lab where d.n.a. has extracted from skeletal samples and analyzed came with her the genetic codes can then be compared with the d.n.a. of survivors but this is not only about victims finding closure not only that the bodies were found and allowing families to bury them and in our case using d.n.a. to accurately identify them but also ensuring justice for the victims and that's been a road that has been barked upon but it's not over yet the lab results have been used in various trials in 2017 the international criminal tribunal for the former

yugoslavia found the main perpetrator of this massacre the former serbian military commander rot commonality which guilty of committing war crimes and genocide. he was sentenced to life in prison on july 11th 1905 nodded to his troops over randon occupied the need for tens of thousands of bosnian muslims had sought safety this is rarely shown footage from the criminal tribunals for the former yugoslavia . dutch patel you know the un blue helmets was supposed to defend the year when safe haven but many soldiers looked on as not it had the men and boys rounded up. they were taken away and murdered in mass shootings over 8000 but there was more horror to come. i mean the perpetrators went back to the original mass grave sites

and to cover up the evidence they use heavy machinery they went back to the original sites and dug up bodies from primary locations and moved them to multiple secondary locations often 50 kilometers away from each other the u.s. detected the genocide by analyzing satellite images victims had been very cross serbian controlled eastern bosnia some skeletons were torn apart then years later under the eyes of the bosnian serb authorities their dead work sumed. so this went back to the forensic pathologist who would look at cause and manner of death which was often difficult because heads would be missing i mean it wasn't always possible to to see bullet wounds because often they were executed in the head of the head is missing and i'm getting into the gory details but this required probably the most meticulous scientific effort ever conducted in a post conflict situation and specifically related to each other so that aim is to

allow family members to properly bury their deceased loved ones anthropologists are piecing together their human remains. possible that. came from one and one that came from a different a. daunting task. today experts can rely on d.n.a. analysis that make their work easier. samples are extracted from the human remains sometimes from a whole range of them this has allowed the experts to more or less pieced together skeletons of the deceased by comparing these d.n.a. samples with those of relatives the once nameless victims regain their identity. that working with traumatized families of the missing to try to. receive d.n.a. samples from. to match the samples to the post-mortem skeletal remains that were being found in mass graves what began in srebrenica is now

a widespread method for identifying victims it's used as the world over to identify those killed in wars and other conflicts. and serbian it's a reminder of what we're all capable of regardless of which country we're from that level of hatred results it can have a very very bad ending and i am scared catherine baumberger says it's up to us alone whether or not we learn from the past. indeed a task for each one of us the italian region of calabria as one of several mafia strongholds in the country activities of this organized crime group are slowing down the local economy and that's one reason why many people especially young ones are moving away from the region but some are coming back like miriam police after spending a family time abroad as she and her husband decided to go back home to calabria to found a company and unfed of going for high tech they are letting nature work for them.

so worms will eat everything in sight. and their favorite food stuff is more berry we. there's no chance of them becoming too fact. dominica vino says they should simply keep on feeding. their in their 5th stage of development and get the most miraculous phase. of the boat so when they stop eating they build a cocoon around themselves as a protective casing and begin to change into a pupa. event up which then becomes a mob that is a place he doesn't matter. dominica feeds the soak worms twice a day for 30 days this is when they start building their cocoons.

dominica his wife miriam and their friends giovanni to set up their silk production company needed to set in calabria in southern italy a few years ago. they had all studied in miriam had lived in berlin for a time but then came the moment when they wanted to give something back to their home region. they opted for so production which was a major industry in the region 300 years ago. the mobile area trees were already there. generally young people tend to leave calabria which is poor and dominated by organized crime. as you probably attempted i mean it's easy to set up a company but the problem is that the area has a bad reputation because the engine get it's difficult for us sometimes to prove

that there has been positive development lost it has up with even if. they've never received any financial support from the region the national government in rome or the european union and they've been waiting for electricity for 4 years. miriam says that this is not a business that will make them rich but this is not their goal either. nonetheless they have made a name for themselves and people from all over the world are interested in their work and discovering how soak is produced the silk thread from one coon can be up to 2 kilometers long. the 3 have also started working with many women from the region. we've set up a 100 percent calabrian craft were changed i'm happy about that everyone knows the local employment market in the situation of women. that would have even calabria.

and they are no longer alone in the region as young artists and. peanuts around see is the president of the donna income for women's entrepreneur is association she says that there is a growing interest in making things naturally only join when fellows employ people probably but that was that one something there are more and more young men and women in agriculture and they show more respect for the environment they want to do things differently that women with courage can do this with women who don't see limitations young people also bring an element of levity and entrepreneurship joining in the perfect combination of. a queenly and an automobile. at the beginning miriam was worried that the business would fail but over the years she grew confident and happier now she was so glad to have time which has become so precious and the feeling of being at one with nature she is also optimistic about

the future seller left in terms. of course we're doing this work for ourselves but also for the next generations we want to impart a different impression of our country that's a positive one we want to show that calabria is a region that works where there are healthy values and principles this is our biggest desire. miriam has never regretted coming back to italy on the contrary she has always believed that everything would go well to the under a banner as her motto incidentally also the mantra of a coke in 1000 kind. today we're launching our brand new theory of the russians in part one would take you to

the northern part of the country several nomadic families live there because they travel from place to place their children have to attend boarding schools they don't eat at tiffin that is one of them and she has a hobby which is anything but typically. their own accountants lena's really into guns she can break down and reassemble a kalashnikov and do better than most of her school. i think it's great it doesn't matter how i feel even if i run my finger nails doing it. 16 year old veronica would like to become a police officer or a soldier. she lives in russia's high north her home is the tiger.

her parents are pneumatic reindeer herders they move from place to place always following the reindeer. during the school year ironically tetley now lives in a boarding school in risking scalia with a population of about 2000 in western siberia. around half the population is indigenous of a fantasy land sea and the net simplicities russia has designated visa and some 30 other indigenous groups together as the little peoples of siberia veronica is a county she sees her parents twice a year during vacations. i've grown accustomed to the teachers and i even like the boarding school more than my home some 200 boys and girls live and study here the school places great value in petri it is a minute curriculum a love of one's homeland and the need to defend. volunteer reserves can earn additional qualifications for breaking down a kalashnikov for example. hearing

the holidays ronak and her school mates are back living the traditional life with their appearance on the siberian tara. hardly any trees grew on it but there is lots of space and grass providing forage for reindeer. the key should begin soon for veronica to have lina she'll be heading out to the tundra and whom she looks forward to it with mixed feelings. on vacation i'll miss my schoolmates. here at the boarding school i've got the boys and girls i've grown up with. i won't have them at home. strange without them. all russian school children go on vacation from june to august helicopters bring new mad youngsters to their families in the forest where there are neither roots

nor train tracks. the north is free country seems veronica's friend in some places it's even car free. that's an we're. of course we're sad but we're also happy because our students do miss their parents when they stay here the whole year they're excited because everyone's flying off at the same time. to the beach the city. then the time comes for everyone to see the daniel goodbye. the flight takes a few hours the tigers the world's largest continuous forested area is divided into several suitors each new might group has a number. of. the youngsters are dropped off one after the other and then it's off to the next for a settlement. by early evening around
