it. more and more videos like it are appearing on social media. this kind of brutality can be disturbing to watch right police move against their own fellow citizens. the images were seen around the world. even more crucially the images are reaching every village town and family in bellers. and they reach the a male yano. jaeger humanity on a still finds it unsettling to watch the videos. but it will finish with really brings tears to your eyes because 52nd just beat people up and listen husbands to the mouth the words. he's really letting loose with all his strength. hugo is a police officer himself or rather he was on august 11th 2 days after the election

he handed in his badge keeping only has epilepsy as a souvenir of his 15 years of service. jaeger says he had made up his mind. even though they were bush i was afraid they could send this against the protesters and he will be received the order while i was still new for. eve so i had to resign 1st before i could live this obeyed in order and treated like desertion and you just don't do that as a man just leave your comrades in the lurch somewhere and take off that i should get an upload once was there we're there for one another so i have to quit 1st step into doing it but it's you and he's not the only one to quit he says not by far. my department a rough estimate would be about 10 percent who have quit the force 10 percent of the police officers. his wife is worried that yeager might still be penalized in

some way. or the buy used on them by jobs that have gone from such i'm scared that when he takes our little girl to daycare he might not come back and i wouldn't know where they took him used but there's no going back now and besides it moves me to act exactly the same way again today julie but that was in minutes the riot police have even received hugs and kisses some of them look as if they don't know what hit them. they're deployed to guard a government building but the mass demonstration underway right in front. of the police are with the people the protesters chants one question remaining to be answered is when. their cries for help go ignored and then they are silenced violence against women is rampant in turkey and the brutal death of a young woman in the city of moola has reignited their calls for change well the

suspect says he killed the victim after flying into a jealous rage turkey's government is doing little to stop the violence and is even considering rolling back measures to protect women from abuse it's something bear fin and leila can't except they are fighting for the voiceless women including that of their murdered friend. her friends describe her as a fun loving young woman. this was the image turkey was left with of the 27 year old student and i'll go to can on july 16th ex-boyfriend strangled her to death remember her body. flowers and a photo commemorate and her favorite. now her friends beth and layla sits here without still numb with grief and in constant fear of becoming the next victim of violence against women. again getting back maybe

tomorrow they'll be announcing my death it starts right from the very 1st 36 encounters they say you can't go there alone. you mustn't wear this or that you can't meet so and so on and on and on and that's just another form of violence that the science of the merger was a province on near g. and coast. that has a reputation for a free and more easygoing mindset than takis conservative regions or so many women thought. the brutal murder in arkansas can understand wave of protest nationwide against the rampant violence against women. their forty's and many communities responded with violence sending policemen to beat the protesting women. the number of women met each year in taki has more than doubled since 2012 now turkish women

are no longer keeping silent many celebrities also join the protests around the country including the popular turkish thing a seal or. maybe my doctor knows friends are also taking to the streets every week in the home town no longer will they sit by and do nothing as violence against women steadily. rises. harnick of a step by the lower they try to intimidate and sideline us the greater our rage and to turn the nation and. now i'm convinced of that card to jiang zemin on the road map. the final seconds women key to news unabated. but pro-government policy journalists like. czech don't see the problem so much an abusive man as in the istanbul convention on cutbacks in domestic violence turkey's them government signed and ratified it in 2012. to one of those from the called whatever happens

inside the 4 walls of the family's home to stay there. this convention is incompatible with our faith our culture and our traditions on them is a. seemingly compatible with the culture on the other hand is the couple live treatment of violence against women in turkish t.v. series for years lloyd took has been representing the victims of domestic violence a massive 5 as she's often seen the abusers appeal to the court for leniency and sympathy. that could. say this woman has done this or that my male pride in a stain my car that's what motivated these actions which are still fabricated something in their entire defense on it as lose their single time on this home alive you know the accused can then hope for a lighter sentence. which is going to even be possible with the authorities and the

courts were bound to the european convention on preventing violence against women. hawks is talking to them and. what are the men and cannot go to consume towns how important to them is the protection of women. gun violence before i have to compress but it's important for everyone to understand each other and get along better make. it only the roots of the violence line or bringing. that has to change from the need to michigan to get. murder victim punahou to kim's friends agree or not times to change in this country until it does the protests. that already reshaping consciousness among the turkish people. for i raised my voice and expressed my rage and sought out the solidarity of other when i was so far more vulnerable to abuse of behavior from men and it wasn't just. all women experience the same things we see and experience them every day to do it and i knew.

the tragedy of their friend's death will hopefully at least inspire a powerful resistance movement among tuckey's women. but where you really from it may seem like an innocent question but for many people of color it's a slap in the face their identity is questioned on the basis of their skin well around 1000000 people of african origin live in germany they were born here and they speak the language yet they are treated as foreigners the black lives matter movement did bring people to the streets here but for many afro germans the micro aggressions remain our reporter met with 3 young people in berlin who opened up about the discrimination they face every day.

this park. today grew up in southern germany and says even at school she often felt like an outsider because of her skin color. my friends were white i didn't look like them and i didn't do the same things at home as they did i only had the feeling that i had 2 identities and had to adapt to depending on who i was with the enough to invent interview. for a sense of belonging because here her skin color didn't matter on a good. day to day life she tells us she still constantly confronted with racist comments and stereotyping. say things like oh what you're a student or what you went to high school those things make it hard to feel at home here you always have the feeling that you can't call this place home because you

don't look like everyone else and because your roots aren't here but i was born here i speak the language i study here. clark and her brother joseph were born and raised. to know what it feels like to be treated like outsiders. he may have many of my schoolteachers and arrested immediately. and if they didn't know how much i was capable of and didn't ask me to participate. with. it made me so angry and sad that i stormed out of the classroom one day. perhaps after i cried. the teachers came after me and asked me what was that and i told them. i never paid me on. that they said from then on they would treat me differently. based on is an a grade student who came top of the class 3 times in

a row. is from berlin 2 she will start studying sociology and after. growing up a mother of reka quickly noticed her daughter because sumi had a hard time fitting in. like many girls her age she wanted to do ballet you know wear a pink tutu and jump around. she was all glum after her 1st class and she was only 3 years old telling me mama don't want to be brown and all i was so sad for her instantly sense that even at that age she felt like an outsider like she was always going to be the only one who looked like she knew she would never have long way if you haven't looked like the others she would always stand out in your calls. or reconsider playgroup for afro german kids so her daughter would feel less isolated . the kids have all grown up now and many have joined all rekers organization total

plural which promotes diversity. only an estimated one percent of people in germany have african roots. discusses most racism is very hurtful and is a feeling many people think racist don't counters are an exception and i know they're not right you experience these things every day and hark. you know on a regular leave joins the group's monthly get togethers. today they're doing a dance flash mob in the rain. having food but they're serious about fighting for equal treatment in germany. life has gone from bad to worse during the pandemic in spain hundreds of thousands have lost their jobs and the 2nd lockdown has brought many to the brink of financial ruin those who work in the hospitality and tourism sectors are especially hard hit well

the government has introduced a temporary basic income scheme for people in need it's a historic step but the lifeline is wrought with red tape. even when buying basic groceries she has to calculate exactly what she can afford the 39 year old is ashamed of her situation and wants to remain anonymous so we'll call her maria. but she isn't alone poverty is increasing not only in madrid but all over spain due to the coronavirus pandemic. where they are not money that. usually one of my relatives helps me out when i don't have any money left for bills near the end of the month. but because of the pandemic they've lost their jobs or are working part time and. now nobody can help me.

in the buy it because district what's got around the food is handed out at this former driving school. agree on a pop and her neighbors set up an aid organization head where they distribute pasta cooking oil and hygiene products to 1900 people in need. i can be. the worst is yet to come. there are still people who don't know if they can ever go back to their jobs more and more people are coming to our banks. for you to do what are the least of until this new she never thought she'd have to resort to this kind of help the widow's pension isn't enough to survive on and she lost her restaurant job to the pandemic. you know look at there not all of my money for her and if i can't afford the apartment that's how it is. to help mitigate the situation the spanish government hurriedly introduced

a nationwide basic emergency income about 450000 euros a month depending on family size. but approval can take time until they get to those in need dependent on welfare from their regional administration. but the madrid region wants to save money and is putting pressure on the applicants. within 10 working days the single mother of 2 has to get several documents to prove that she applied for the new imagine see income otherwise madrid point payout. but maria tells us that each document takes a long time to get. there the moment i think i've hardly slept since i got this letter. boy i feel ok and i said i mean i've lost my appetite but as i'm constantly worrying about whether we'll have enough money to live on next. for the day then adamant. in her search for

help maria has turned to the church. and father javier has taken the matter to heart we can't let people down right now given the suspects there's something fishy behind the administration's lightness of the deadline is almost impossible to meet partly because many officials are on vacation there and. i don't argue that there's a strategy behind this. the aim is to make it more difficult for the poorest in society to access these funds but these funds are what make a welfare state were for giving the start. we want to confront which are its regional governments about these accusations but were refused an interview instead was sent a video of a speech by the minister of social policies he blames the spanish government. intrusion i mean it taste the national government has insufficiently considered the people involved or the social services as a whole going to. bureaucratic wrangling at the expense of the poor

aid organizations are mobilizing while maintaining social distancing father her being says that the needy are increasingly being pushed to the margins of society by administrative 50 length of. i think that we're taking big steps in a dangerous direction we criminalize those affected by poverty and suspect them of cheating the system here because of. this i decide to miss maria she says she'd love to because long as she can juggle the job with childcare. you know nothing when i want to go been in there but there's absolutely no reason why i shouldn't work in. that because it's unclear whether i'll even find a job if i need this basic income that will battle me in the movie that i have to live on something for you to be vandal. finding a job is becoming increasingly unlikely by the end of 2 yes spain expects an unemployment rate of 19 percent the coronavirus crisis has wiped out almost

a 1000000 jobs a growing number of people in the same boat as maria but that's of little consolation. beauty can be both a blessing and a curse just as the people of lisbon portugal the stunning city jerm more than 10000000 visitors last year bringing both prosperity and pollution a covert 19 has brought the tourism industry there to a grinding halt there is a little good to come from the pandemic but here on the tail river things have taken a turn for the better these dolphins have made a comeback in the capital's waters and they are the only ones enjoying a revival. for the people of liz bond this is nothing short of a small miracle the dolphins have returned to the river take us as 2 wary. sailing school children are ecstatic like many other locals.

i'm from a spend. and seeing all these dolphins is an incredible feelings it was a song of the loop. as the biologist in ash cloud often went dolphin watching in the stores today she works as a sailing instructor she's lucky because of the pandemic finding work is tough especially because there are no tourists. but he nash and her boss say there's a silver lining. this year there are more sardines in micro-mini i shall look so that's what doe firms like feeding on bush president. bush the main cause of their massive 50 kilo stone bust to one huge city busses and we've never seen this many sardines before people are worth the risk of. many things shut but done spawning in river take us again making it an ideal hunting ground for dull

things. their narda looking tayla is an ornithologist who loves to bird watching they take us delta today he's spotted a group of flamingos a mere 20 minute car ride from lisp on city center. to their nardo works for an agency promoting sustainable tourism but because of the pandemic few visitors are coming to portugal. news on that as well the cartels knew they could take this river delta is 814000 hectare nature reserve spurs. in the bird conservation area is even larger. the pied avocet is one of the best known birds inhabiting least wetlands there around to $200.00 species of migratory birds some $60000.00 blacktail dotted with time each

winter there are an endangered species. and a flamingo colony raises its young here and stays all year round. but this paradise is under threat the portuguese government now plans to build a new airport in monte show right beside these wetlands beyond the vasco da gama bridge this would threaten this important ecosystem that's why 8 conservation groups are now taking the government to court philip ross me rob miller well we're taking action because of the many claims that will be landing beside these wetlands . through you have come to us and it's not only dangerous for the birds the birds themselves will also pose a serious danger for the aircraft eventually sort of when and when knowing what

makes some sense to build a new airport now that lisbon has just been cleared europe's capital out of or throwing a tantrum or. in a rush says the water quality of river takers has improved a lot that's why so many dolphins have returned and the fact that no noisy cruise ships are harboring in the portuguese capital helps to dolphins are very sensitive to noise. lot ships are very invasive. to stuff and avoid swimming up the rest of the marginal i was in 2017 this major cruise ship terminal was built right beside. it spawns old town in the face of major resistance from nature conservationists even though everything is quiet for now many dread the return of mass tourism and these gargantuan vessels because you me showing me if you show up we usually have police huge cruise ships docking hair

. and they emit 86 times more so for outside all of portugal's cars are put together for the moment but they know when it is when i'm diesel this spawn authorities have pledged that by 2022 docked cruise ships must stop their motors to reduce emissions. be able to do that because like a good if you every cruise ship it off the lisbon would have to be connected to the electricity grid to reduce so for oxide emissions and could pollution in the city to see the output stop but i'll be at the other her there nardo and in a show but they're already use will keep their promise so that this ban can live up to its name of europe's green capital. well that's all for today thanks for watching focus on europe and do let me know your thoughts about this week's show on twitter i for now.
