why do you think you're. going to come like this if. you can't turn. hello and welcome to focus on europe with me liz show the coronavirus seems to be under control and europe but still experts warn of a possible 2nd wave of infections especially since a some people are feared to not be following safety measures on the spanish island of majorca hundreds of tourists were seen partying on the streets they danced

without face masks and got way too close to each other so the police had to intervene and put an end to the party. these scenes where upset into the local population because the spain is among the european countries with the highest number of kobe 1900 tell it he's almost 30000 people have died of the virus in spain to date the virus spread at an alarming rate in retirement homes where thousands of residents died many were not even taken to hospital and some facilities had to be shut down completely a man is among those who lost their parents to the coronavirus and now she wants her local authorities to take responsibility. at the beginning of the crisis there was a lot of praise for doctors and nurses. there were protests mainly directed against politicians 2. spain has been

traumatized by thousands of deaths in old people's homes here. a razor wants to be alone with her pain she lost her parents and much both died of the coronavirus in a retirement home. they may well have in fact that each other they were apparently not isolated. this is something they want a home there wasn't any disinfectant or masks in the beginning people went in and out the residents were exposed and have no protection. than and i was told she was no longer allowed to see her parents she got hardly any information her father died 1st followed by her mother a few days later so. there's just a deep sadness inside. suddenly you start crying you can't sleep you can't eat it

hurts a lot of. the home declined our request for an interview. but we did need to care who works at the facility she doesn't want to be identified maria a pseudonym for her safety confirms that she was forbidden from wearing a mask in the beginning so as not to frighten people. maria caught the virus a few weeks later her elderly father also got it and passed away. i can't sleep anymore. i'm taking medication and getting psychological help. maria now lives with the terrible feeling of having infected her father. initially those responsible under estimated the virus committed fatal errors and there was also the

political dimension. in spain the provinces are responsible for the health systems and rid this is the regional governments of the conservative isabel a you saw. by the end of march her help apartment had become overwhelmed. more and more patients were being admitted to the intensive care units pushing these to the very edge of collapse so hospitals were instructed not to admit old people's home residents anymore according to local media reports. the newspaper el pais published this dramatic video. and meeting with intensive care doctors in hospital. elderly people from the nursing homes are not being treated. we don't do that. no we refuse to treat them emails from the regional government state that patients

over a certain age and with previous illnesses are no longer allowed in hospitals. the original president says that this was just a concert and not an order. if. i were there who stuck a sort of soap on my forehead is unfair to focus just on madrid there have been many deaths but even more people were saying. yes and now you pick out a single clip from one meeting they want to see dissociation for the defense of patients wants to sue the regional government of madrid and that's the reason who lost her parents. you know for the president of the organization carmen flores the events are empty rageous 20000 people a friendly died in spain's old people's homes because of the virus that is on trial you know there's clearly a criminal responsibility here. we believe that one can almost speak of genocide

because that's what happened people were discriminated against because of their age and preexisting conditions by the way that. you know the reason is among those who suspects that her parents could have been saved. that's why she is going to court and why she wants to find out what really happened. you're going to start with my parents went through a civil war and world war 2 they didn't have an easy life i find it unfair and very tough that our society treated them like that. for many debts and spain's old people's homes have become a national trauma. we now move to the u.k. where black people are dealing with another type of trauma the type that comes from

years of experiencing racism and discrimination the death of george floyd in the u.s. reignited the calls for racial equality around the world also in the u.k. protests have since then taken place in several parts of the country and one of the leaders of the black lives matter movement is a modern atan she wants reform and has made it her mission to call out institutional racism in her country but now she's facing opposition from other people of color who have a different view on britain's colonial past and on whether the u.k. is structurally racist or not. but they are not. in modern age illness speaking out. and people are listening. it's a new experience for the 29 year old actress it's only been a few weeks and she became one of the leaders of the black lives matter movement in

britain. oh well the biggest thing for me as an organizer is to show everyone on the spot and expresses the same narrative but we're all unified in the same narrative i don't want these protests to be unproductive i don't want us to just be marching on the roads and screaming but that's not how we need to be productive in the things that we're facing because we now have a voice at. the killing of george floyd and may triggered protests across the united states and britain too has seen a mass reaction in london thousands gather every week and it. only. came on 8 and says britain specific type of racism is quite subtle it starts in school history lessons show black people mainly a slaves and glorify the british empire she says the history of british colonialism needs to be confronted. not everyone shares this view as a representative of the right wing breck's that alliance in the london assembly

david curtain is here to get a firsthand impression his father is of jamaican origin he's proud of the commonwealth and british history he says nobody in britain is disadvantaged but don't agree with the. narrative that britain is a systemically racist country this is one of the best countries in the world to be a black person to be an ethnic minority a person of color is equal opportunities for everyone is equality under the law is freedom and liberty. in marne has a different perspective she grew up in the multicultural south london she loves the area but racist slurs and discrimination have haunted her own. all her life. i've been called the before. i've been. your tractor for a black woman. mixture of a start to things. and i that one way to young black women

that that statement has been said many years growing up. it's one she never wants to hear again m.r. and would like to see more respect shown to black people no longer. we must she has distanced herself from other more radical activists like the ones calling for the police to be abolished. she's seeking reforms capable of garnering a majority vote such as quotas for people of color in leadership positions. every 5 years they have a quota that they have to meet to ensure one that we can safely say there is no longer institutionalized racism within the industry and. gives confidence to the use of the younger generation to barge into those industries because they are being represented and there are leaders from top like. david curtain rejects such demands he plans to run as an independent candidate for mayor in the next municipal election on a law in order platform he sees no need for any special treatment for black people

you start implementing quotas for jobs for senior management you might not get the best person for the job if the best person is wards employed that is the best persons block employ them but quotas will not let you get the best person for the job through everybody. but without quotas young british black people hardly stand a chance say the young activists behind. and they are getting results prime minister boris johnson has formed a commission to deal with racism in public life it's a big big toss a big a big picture that we're trying to achieve but. with this comment sam is right before the punishment that we follow but only say we activists like him are 8 and hope to use the momentum to achieve legislative change they won't rest till they deal.

this week we bring you parts 2 of our series about the daily lives of russians who live outside of the country's major cities today we take you to in western russia where a brutal type of sport is becoming more and more popular among young men free fighting kill that michel i love is one of the fighters of for him winning is about much more than prize money it's about being a hero at least for a day. karylle is giving him his reputation for being the hardest fastest and the best is a steak at least that's his reputation in the ring where he's known as the bouncer this is free fighting mixed martial arts with almost no rules.

karuna kind of wince it's his 5th victory in 2 years. that's a lot of the 23 year old has been free fighting. but i went from soccer freak fighting. when i used to be really crazy about football but i was serving in the army changed me. before the wall of birth near but i wasn't so excited about soccer anymore so i looked for something else. but i couldn't just sit at home after work . but i needed an outlet for all of my energy. while tino fearsome farmer mighty migrant other bouncer. i believe to be tens of thousands of young fighters like these in russia. they say that their brutal fights are more than just to show they are the ticket to

fulfilling their dream of finally feeling like a winner especially in the provinces outside of russia's metropolises. not. down to the potential has to be released the tension of everyday life. otherwise you start drinking or some people take drugs others simply fade away and die because of the monotony of life in russia. so in order to relax some people go skydiving but others drink and others still use their fists your brain your. i'm not sure fighter karylle mikhailov lives in culpeper no medium size working class town near the metropolis of sim petersburg. he works in a large shopping mall a small phone shop and by card. miles of a ship only one person can win here merely by the customer in the ring and i think . karylle says communicating with customers is the most challenging part of his job

. you have to be careful to stay calm and that's also important in the ring. may be emotions are not good in a fight you should let your emotions take over and you need to try to keep cool. crew works 12 hour shifts 5 days a week. sometimes i'm on the verge of losing a year. or too many customers want something at once when they're difficult. but in the ring i can release all about anger and without it i would go to. the next fight this coming up the food fight championship final with fighters from all over russia. this is perhaps the most important fight of corel's career. you know i'm nervous this is the biggest competition of my life but after all it's

the finals everyone is on edge so. what pairs will be fighting each other this is the 1st time karylle sees his opponent. shake hands. while. here's the way. you look at it girls prize money is 5000 rubles about 60 euros and little i'm not here to run on rush it's pure relaxation

the ultimate feeling i'm happy to. grill says the 12 months of military service shaped and they made him into a soldier but more importantly tough and made him feel only the strong survive. on those and every man should be able to protect themselves his family friends and country that takes courage. also that it 1st before you get hit. and feel like a winner at least for a moment. turkey is largest city hall is among the cities in the world with the highest chance of experiencing a major earthquake the reason is that the city ally's right next to the north and a totally unfolds where 2 tectonic plates slide against each other and this

condition has led to devastation in the past in the earthquake of 1909 the thousands of people were killed in a fan of them a lost his parents and his neighbors he's afraid that disaster may strike again in the near future and that it will destroy property and lives like it did last time. when every year from now the misses his family he comes here the monument in yellow vanya east envoy commemorates the victims of the earthquake of august 1990. thousands of names are in grave than the mabo. including several of adam's relatives. i lost my mother my father my sister my other all of them. it was a terrible disaster. only a few of us in our building survived my wife and our daughter and one or 2 other

families. about 40 people died in our building alone. in here there's a picture at the memorial site which shows what a horrific night it was. it's a photo of you from after he'd managed to escape from the rubble. of war stumbled out i had no idea where i was and how i managed to crawl through a little hole to freedom then i went back to get my wife and child over 18000 people in the area died in the earthquake. hundreds of thousands of buildings collapsed or were badly damaged it was painfully obvious that the assemble region was not prepared for such a big shock. over 20 years later he stumble has expanded faster than almost any other city in the world strict building rules have been introduced and all new buildings are supposed to be earthquake resistant but most of the older

ones are and geologists chewed through our soil has been warning of an imminent disaster for he has his stumble eyes on the north an atoll in fault which runs along the boundary between 2 tectonic plates that are rubbing against each other causing a dangerous accumulation of energy the data shows that over the past decades the quakes have been edging closer towards istanbul. thank you so much it is the risk of a big earthquake in iran just on both is a danger to national security. will be absolutely devastating. many people will die when it happens while we're still talking about whether such a quake is coming with you because you have to with this is not the issue it is all it is calling. that's for sure. because we have to minimize the risks now almost get a cure in february here in istanbul scotty co district they were preparing for an

emergency instructor teaches them entry school children how to behave when an earthquake hits his class is not compulsory there all he will and terribly meet the deadline on the let's call i'm afraid of earthquakes i'm really worried that something could happen to my family. don't. really know that experienced an earthquake at school before. we went outside with our teacher and waited until it passed between us that that got you to go look was. the highlight of this class a few minutes in the simulation from. here the students get to experience what is 6.7 magnitude earthquake feels like. for the kids the training is a lot of fun a bit like a field trip to an amusement park to their coach it's an important contribution to

disaster control that could help save lives he'd like to see more of this kind of training on offer in istanbul sometimes i think that we can only take eth quake seriously once they've occurred. at this moment in time istanbul isn't prepared. whether that's in respect of crisis management training or construction safety. irrfan adam who survived the earthquake in agrees 20 years ago when his photo was printed on the front pages many people in turkey were alone. but memory fades he notes and overall caddis misses growing. because i live because i've had to experience what it means to lose your family. my life is never going to be the same again the. problem is if you've never had this experience you won't understand what's going on which is why

so few people think about the possibility of the next earthquake. she. names on a memorial stone not all that if an adam has left to remember his parents and his sister by now he is hoping that others are at least spared the same fate. we now take you to the netherlands to meet a couple that lives near the village of ted ahead ma'am they own a house vote and when the corona crisis forced them to change their initial career plans they came up with the brilliant idea they combined their love for water with their love for barbecue and to turn their house boats into a floating diner. it's no secret that it's possible to literally live on water in the netherlands. but this food bowl in the province of freeze land is new. the owners had planned to rent it out for events and meetings and the pandemic made them change course. we've got a great barbecue and

a good coach and so we decided to start serving the grill snacks on the water. the chef sprinkles rosemary on the barbecue and help the smell well tracked customers the owners of the boat have opted for more conventional ways of advertising so far without much success but who knows whether the seafarers will come by when they get hunger pangs. pulled pork there's pulled pork. vegetarian burgers to simon and. holland's favorite snack motto. the menu comes via a fishing rod after making their choice customers have to wait a little before the food is ready. but that's hardly a problem. nobody is in a hurry here today and it's worth the wait.

that a fair statement like fresh food is always tasty it's really great i will tell others about this and tell them they have to come to you on the set that's not the book. the owners are glad they've come up with this idea to show off their environmentally friendly boat which they're really proud of the barges 21.5 meters long and the electric motor is powered by solar energy thanks to the solar panels on the deck. and being on the big screen up with almost nothing it's something else when you have a huge river barge laden with cargo and you're going down the rhine against the current market here we're showing what in the electrically powered barge can do it in public it's good to see the. electron. that's why they call their boat. or progress right now it's less the solar panels and more the barbecued food that's drawing attention to this innovative boat. and that brings us to the

end today's show we hope you enjoyed the program thank you so much for watching and see you again next time and faith well.
