number of migrants arriving in southern europe from africa. most of them start their journey across the sea from to news yet thousands have already crossed the mediterranean on rubber boats to italy where authorities are warning that the situation could get out of hand. those who make it to italy are desperate to find ways to earn money many end up as farm workers on tomato or lemon plantations but they have no rights and for years they've been toiling away for countless hours and for a minimum pay these workers are called the invisibles and by now there are hundreds of thousands of them reasons mean and you alone was introduced to improve their lives but the law is having little effect as our italy correspondent found out he traveled to the southern part of the country to the region of. known as italy's a bread basket there he met some of the migrants. somewhere in the middle of

nowhere among the vast wheat fields of southern italy we meet them on a chain who found shade under the palace the 30 year old from booking a fossil is a harvest worker without a residence permit and with limited prospects their own little car and i have been living in italy for 11 years. the authorities have only ever issued me papers valid for 6 months. this was supposed to end in 2011 because it wasn't until 2016 that i was able to apply for a residence permit again and once more for only 6 months 'd. precisely because i don't have a work contract. it's the same story for everyone here even those who don't want to be filmed they have settled down and discarded sofas and mattress camps in the open air with outright without status officially this should have changed since june 1st it's now he has had a new all that is supposed to go out harvest work his legal residence in the

country as you all know you and i know a farmer here you might be able to hire me with a real contract then the new law would apply to me too. many migrants are hopeful hundreds of thousands like him harvest asparagus in the spring tomatoes in the summer and oranges in the winter in italian fields migrants especially from africa are exposed exploited and defenseless people want to graze then the attorney and government we want it to stop this irresponsible minister who was once an unskilled agricultural worker herself was visibly moved as she announced the change for limits you're on with us no more of these invisible aquaculture a farm workers will be minimal visible in the future may not even be seen. but then your does not reach the invisible ones in the fields says i took a hold of a lot. the lawyer is a voluntary legal adviser to many migrants he fights ago. senseless regulations

that make legal work and residency almost impossible for day labor as well so goes a lot what do you the labels police department has to intervene give the ok all of these procedures that are completely apologise. for command a it's a vicious circle the bureaucratic obstacles are complicated and incomprehensible even for legal experts. this is a typical obstacle course to discourage applicants if. they have to provide evidence of their place of residence on financial security how they provide for themselves and their regular work contracts at the same time. but even one of these requirements is missing the residence permit will not be extended to social cost not germany's hope of finally being able to legally work and live in italy is sinking. but i never had the time to learn a new trade properly so this whole time i've had to fight to get by. on top of this

there is now crime the employment contracts required by the new law are being sold on an extortion me black market. also fights for migrants rights but he's a farmer as well so he knows what some of his colleagues do or new boat for some who charge between 4 and 5000 euros for a work contract with little. back breaking some for day labor but politicians in southern italy are doing little to protect themselves from black market trade for work and residence permits this frustrates. he would love to hire migrant workers with temporary contracts through an official employment agency he says this is the only way to put a stop to illegal activities and mafia organized middlemen in the harvest industry

. laborers earn even less. trying to save. for their 6 or 7 euro early wage goes to those who brokered the day job. and those he lives with on deeply disappointed they are stuck between the fields and roam from harvest to harvest like nomads while being exploited the hope for a humane life and what it can italy is sinking once more it's summer in europe and although most of us don't mind a bit of fun shine the heat records are a growing concern that only out at the russian border with finland is one of the places that is facing an increased threat of wildfires because of the high temperatures and lack of rain climate experts are alarmed and many russians were spending their vacation in the region are also worried like

a lame volunteers like matty out on our own patrol to make sure that no major fires break out. early morning emergency. there's a fire one of the many islands of lake the dog in northwestern russia. this team of volunteer force protectors is trying to get there as fast as possible. some tories called us at 7 o'clock they told us that most had caught fire on the surface if. they can put it out themselves they asked us to come and take. the tourists meet the volunteers at the shore. a small green fire appears harmless but it quickly turned into a major fire and spread. it looks as if someone started to come fire him but didn't put it down properly. before the body seems the when the cost

of art spread and setting fire to the mosque. fortunately these holiday makers knew what number to call them real estate which a team arrives in time to put out the small fire. just a few days ago the volunteers almost arrived too late to put out a fire that spread on a neighboring island it took hours to extinguish the flames. and about 20 of the force protection volunteers come to this company the lake every summer they're all from the region which i love some are students others have taken time off from their jobs well to go. i don't think i could live without like logica. this just burst through to me it's the most wonderful place in the

well to some a christmas song that you just amused friends and give. them the keaton is a mathematician by profession. he prefers his fallen to work over his paid job at the computer. will do it if we don't know. this is a magnificent place. we came here about 15 years ago and that was back i knew it 1st and now it's burning here it's terrible. you come back actual place that you've been visiting for years and the earth down at that. it will take years to reforest all of this. but some of us on our roads and. every day the volunteers go up and down the coast sometimes up to 70 kilometers away to check for fires. on the little. lake the dog is the 2nd largest lake in russia i survived. it's in the caribbean a region the borders finland it's

a unique national park and it's a risk of being completely destroyed. this year many russians are spending their holidays at home because of the cold with going to condemn it every come far increases the danger of a major forest fire. which would you wish that were it would be great if everything worked perfectly here with you if there were enough forest to protect us and a functioning fine department here's the problem i don't know but i know then we would only have to help out in the bahamas i'd stand we doing all the work for the national park authorities movements and i know but. the following 2 years have been doing this work every summer for years and even paid for their own equipment helps by support from donors and sponsors. this year there are more fires than usual because it's been so hot and dry a clear sign of climate change.

soon after coming back to the camp and the other measures he gets called in and stress levels rise again more money. and it turns out that it was a false alarm. they're used. with 3 out of 4 emergency calls turn out to be just smoke or can't fire your. thank you but if at all we always try to find out what's happening as fast into the but i get it much more in the ways that the national the hotter the summers become the more fires there are going to be up in store for. fever. meanwhile authorities have yet to support these efforts so the team continues to work for free and the volunteers do their best to put out as many fires as they can to protect their home region.

this amazing view of picturesque mountains and a lake is what you get when you visit the village of high stats in austria some hail it as the most beautiful religion in the whole country each year thousands of visitors come here some spend a few days and others just enough time to a snap a selfie or for their instagram but since the corona crisis things have become more quiet and several villages are realizing they like a comma so they're thinking about what the new normal could look like and how once the pandemic is over. in her austria many locals worry no tourists would come this year to admire the mountains the lake and the quite village because of corona and no tourism would also mean no income but the worries are over. visitors are here in abundance.

which is good for hotels and also for carolyn i have a spare good spot rental business. but it's a different mix of tourists have a moment then he counted we don't have all nationalities here because of the flight problems but we've got austrian germans basically your pain. before the pandemic the village through many international tourists and day trippers. the alpine setting is popular on instagram and last year over 21000 turbos has brought around a 1000000 visitors to the village with just 760 inhabitants. smear doesn't miss the era of over tourism. the obvious you could get into the work for them farhad brick and the guy carrying a flag and its own people wearing had sex tape so it was very loud regularly that's how people it was too much for some locals saying it would stand for 300 people who want. then suddenly in spring austria had to go into lockdown because of covert 19

. grew quiet restaurants were empty and there wasn't any money coming in. the local population discovered something else. took didn't think of this was well thought wasn't very pleasant anymore because of the mass tourism that so i think it's right that during these 2 or 3 months of our start was just for us locals and in terms of life quality that was great the ellipse experience it as it once was. now its main. the european visitors and how start and some of them what does come before baby obviously. knew that there were fewer foreign tourists here now because of cope in $1004.00 we have heard about the place in there that it would be quieter thomas says that's why we came up with what i called i always wanted to with the place and yeah now it's great because there was nobody there is. but what about the

future actually returning to preterism days isn't an option the municipality depends on income from tourism to subsidise services such as school meals and care for the elderly. locals value tourism but there is a question of what kind of tourism. is because. i think that we should cut mass tourism down by half and double quality tourism that we're visitors stay for longer but that would be a good mix if he can be from. carly to him stagger has a different view. proclaimed that i need. to live even if the hotels want higher quality tourists you see staying here for longer but i don't think that kind of long term a tourism it's fashionable at the moment it's not safe before the pandemic. starters currently developing a new system to deal with the turbos is the number of which is expected to increase

again in the future they will have to register in advance and stay longer. it's not clear whether this will impact the amount and form of tourism but the mayor doesn't want to go further. i think that when we start getting more international visitors coming to see our cultural heritage again the others will start coming. what we don't want to do is to tell some people to come and others not to because we don't want them here that's not where we are so i see if you look at the village would rather not repeat come what felt like an old. bonaire exhibits for masses of day trippers but avoiding dust in the future would require a balancing act for her start smear and its citizens. this man sat on the spanish throne for nearly 40 years and now the former king juan carlos has not only left the royal palace but also the country is probably not what

he had imagined for his retirement a life in exile investigations are underway one carlos is accused of money laundering and corruption these latest scandals have thrust the royal family into a deep crisis many spaniards like marja are now calling for an end to the monarchy . this fanfare is meant to help the end of the spanish monarchy. a democracy with a king is like a horse pulled by oxen says the sign at a protest in madrid. marta is one of the demonstrators here who has had enough of spain's royal family. i mean to say yes i mean i have always been the reason is to demonstrate against the crown and i want to keep that right now with the right even then everything i found out about the money i'm a fan of but only as. corruption affairs and moral bankruptcy for years spain's former king juan carlos made headlines for all the wrong reasons he abdicated in

2014 and this week you have spain it's been suggested his own son king philippe pushed him to leave the country where he is under investigation by the public prosecutor tapes leaked to the media are said to contain talk of huge bribes and it is very good overbooking juan carlos kushti in everything he says especially in the gulf states the united arab emirates saudi arabia he accepted gifts and donations and used a network of frontman let's hide the money you know. marta from the protest is a nurse so she's under a lot of stress due to the corona pandemic yet she only earns enough for a room in a shared flat. i meant that boy i can't afford anything else even a studio with a little kitchen and a date that is too expensive so i have to live in shared accommodation. marcus says the royal family has the nothing to support or comfort people during

the corona crisis. she felt no empathy from them during spain's strict lockdown. like as i say even if we didn't hear anything from the palace. they were in that 100 square mile to rooms during the lockdown so of course they've no idea how ordinary people feel. spain need a monarch more and more people here are saying no. on the internet in particular they're rallying support for online petitions videos and songs. in exile to run a child farewell to the crown some polls say the majority of spaniards now want their country to become a republic though experts remain skeptical it's not was distorted like yes there's a lot of discontent most of those parts are really us attain a trend we need more data more polls conducted over a longer period of time. to find committed royalists we

went to the countryside and spoke to older spaniards like on how they nest carlos. she lives in a village outside the capital madrid. she still has vivid memories of the attempted coup of 1901 on the end of horne closed his televised address in which she bravely defended spain's democracy absolutely the kings and counties for me that was likely given to him you know calm down again and i said dear god thank you for this offends us person for us to best that is to bring the. well she regrets the recent scandals she still supports the spanish royal house including king philippe. and stops the plans to trade him in for a head of state elected by the people. from unity young folks demanding this haven't a clue if they think they invented politics and life in general not as if we haven't left before i think it must be done to. a new spanish republic still looks to be

a long way are the hurdles to changing the constitution are high and a referendum would need to be held and unlike his coalition partner podemos prime minister pedro sanchez refuses to call one. still opponents of the monarchy plan to keep on demonstrating for royalty free spain. scientists have been trying to uncover the secrets to a long and healthy life for a century in a matter of lifestyle do we need to follow a certain diets well one answer to the secret of a long life may be found on the greek island of we send our report a bear and my impression is that reaching an old age may have to do with enjoying life to the fullest. here in a sea of. nice the idea of a career. its famous for its namesake it caressed from greek mythology and for the
