lucky come straight heart gets more see you before during the morning delicious the mushroom enjoy. your final resting place the russian. documentary. hello and welcome to focus on europe i'm liable lola thanks for joining us the refugee camp moria in greece has long been a symbol of europe's failed migration policy now it is no more europe's largest refugee camp lies in ruins after a fire raised it to the ground some 12000 people fled the flames and now need to be
6:31 am
relocated but just as the migrants and refugees are pleading for help so too are the residents on the island many of them want them out of the country for good well it's a crisis that has been brewing since the count was erected 5 years ago it was originally meant to house 3000 people but as more and more people arrive from turkey the population exploded life went from bad to worse in the crown to unhygenic conditions with the outbreak of covert 19 what was supposed to be a short stopover has now become a miserable existence in the mediterranean and some fear they may be trapped there indefinitely. baby emmanuelle is just 3 weeks old she was born in moria her parents say they fled from the congo to europe in hope of safety and a better life but what they found was hunger thirst and homelessness just
6:32 am
10 months or so disappointed because the european union could have helped us after all this time i spent 4 days no one is taking care of us what are they thinking how can they abandon us the european union to i don't know what they're doing is there because the. days after the fire in the morea refugee camp chaos reigns on the island of lesbos families like the malays are left to fend for themselves thousands of refugees are camping on the hot asphalt the greek government promises hell but it is yet to be seen scenes like these showed just how great the desperation is. when the 1st deliveries of water finally arrived there were riots and some refugees were injured we do what we can the governor of the island explains but he points out that the fire was a catastrophe with a message lesbos has been left with a huge numbers of refugees for too long now he hopes things will change. for
6:33 am
lesbian people and for myself i do is in a tragic way. because. we simply that. when we coupled with this tragic way i'm very happy that we didn't have any people you know storing new wounded people but still it's a good it's a big progress. the inhabitants of lesbos don't want it to be an island for refugees any more they repeatedly set up roadblocks they don't want to 2nd moria and say the refugees should leave their island my rehab so my dalkey lives in moria their teacher experienced firsthand how her neighborhood became radicalized at 1st many welcomed refugees but then the mood changed. over time things happened. there were thefts and the refugees burned the olive trees for firewood. yes
6:34 am
then public opinion changed. unlike many in her village maria up so my doc is still has compassion with the refugees she and her friend donated food to be distributed to them but they both agree that it can't continue like this. mr rosenthal with. all of more totally disappointed. this is all these years we've heard talk of sympathy and support of the board but we've come to the conclusion that the only thing people are trying to do is make greece and especially the islands of the s.g. and a location for a permanent refugee camp. the refugees don't want to be cooped up in a camp again either but continue on to the rest of europe again and again they demonstrate on this post now the end patiently and increasingly desperate. for them
6:35 am
the island has become a prison from which there is no escape since the corona virus outbreak in the camp many have been living in fear 1. yet is the. force situation for good if you would you don't have to a little know what a lot of anything and when it does. freedom plaza. attend city was built on a former shooting range in 2 days the authorities celebrate the temporary camp as a great success. many refugees are skeptical that they'll be stuck here 2 for years others have no strength left but let me 1st answer them the it's good when it got that i want to go in because the situation is very bad it's very hot i have children and obvious that. it seems a 2nd morea is on the cards something neither the refugees nor the islanders want
6:36 am
to see but the e.u. is deeply divided some say we can't take them all when others say that europe must help those in need of protection and in the middle of it all little emmanuelle and her family you see. i'm a farmer mortified i want to work feed my family give them a home. if i'm a prisoner here there's nothing i can do. you see that's why it's about getting out of here and living in freedom doesn't resolve. the malo says they risked everything to leave congo and find a better future for their children in rich europe but this rich europe treats them like criminals. why. germany has announced it will take in some $1500.00 migrants from greece while the e.u. commission has said it plans to put concrete proposals on the table by the end of the month and that it is determined to show solidarity with greece. no your 1st
6:37 am
instinct might be to head to the supermarket when your fridge is empty you could also go hear urban foraging has grown in popularity thanks in part to covert 19 people are spending more time outdoors and reconnecting with nature even michelin starred chefs have developed a taste for wild food well in london experience forgers like izzy are touring the city and teaching newbies how to eat plants like stinging nettles without getting her arrest. you see johnson is looking for something fresh and for free. and she finds what she's looking for all over london in parks by roadside some kind of bus stops. this car is everywhere it's really nice edible the reasons for this would be if we feed it to the chickens but it's well known to the humans as well but in. a very mild. confidence everything very well and is full of it.
6:38 am
is he likes to pass on her expertise and leads corage ing walks under the name benevolent. the corona lockdown gave more londoners the time and desire to explore the surroundings. barry oh yeah elderberries right for the picking. there's always anything that's not a protected species even in most parks smile those waves. and tell me what you think they smell and. some people say bob popcorn some people say catfish. they are eastern raw because they've got a tiny bit of toxin in them which is neutralized as soon as you cook it it's got amazing she says legend has it that a spirit lives in every elder tree and you must be careful never to make it angry.
6:39 am
it's like very long. so we quickly continue on our way around the corner we make our next discovery yarrow. this further in fella. one of my and days old time fail so i go to haves this is the hour i kill you are always especially versatile as he says it tastes good on bread but it's also a medicinal plant that's used to cleanse moans. grab a little bit. put on your wounds and then you can use the long leaves of the plant. to run around like a. stinging nettle is a special treat for izzy she says that it's digestion and can be found growing most everywhere. people have be sick of buying everything
6:40 am
packaged in plastic and also having to buy what is just you know we were born into the swells and there it is and just don't get it so she's to get to learn about how to do that. but most londoners haven't got a clue that you can harvest enough for an entire meal in one of the city's parks. the 1st thing i would not say. the other day i saw there was still going and i knew still quite a lot. but i wouldn't go because i don't know what touched it. what causes it to grow i like being here for 3 years and you know that you know it's a good thing as you know. busy however is always hunting for edibles and often make surprising discoveries. found some truffles in the carpark of a tesco and i was quite exciting. i was on my
6:41 am
knees there going in the ground like a square 0 which is what you got there if you want to be a forward you need to sort of think i'm animal. maybe it's good that most londoners don't know about the free food around them that way there are still some left for the city's real squirrels. it's a wound that has been festering for a century at the end of world war one hungary lost most of its territory as borders in eastern europe were redrawn. suddenly millions of hunger areas became citizens of other countries including romania they're in the car page and mountains and gary and customs and traditions are still celebrated by the take a people they dream about reuniting with hungary and they have the backing of a powerful ally. all one see here there's a lumberjack for their traditional competition eastern for pathogens. different
6:42 am
from gary and after the 1st world war their region ceded to usenet. and for many the connection to their old homeland is still strong. next to the romanian and secular flag there's a hung jury in one. eventual family from a nearby village has come for the contest many of their friends from hungary aren't here this year coronavirus restrictions prevented them from crossing the border. it's a bad feeling an asian nation before a lot of our brothers from hungary really are now the powers that be a forbidden and. it's very important to us to maintain our connection to hungary. for some hunting reasons the loss of territory after world war one remains a national humiliation over a century later and viktor orban is right wing populist government has consciously stirred up these old feelings he's even suggested that the treaty is training on
6:43 am
which redefine hungary's borders in 1020 will stay in effect forever. we are doing it for the job yet we are the ones who reverse hungary's fate but the decisive battle that must be fought by the generation following us the 5th generation after triano. now it will not be easy and it will not be simple but it will be worth it the great times are ahead of you. get ready and prepare every day . hungry before all else god above us all. are you we should i mean don't you. over the past decade trian on has become a mantra under viktor or abandon his governing party fetus. across from the hungarian parliament a monument inscribed with the names of thousands of places which belong to hungary until 1920 was unveiled the summer. historians political calculation behind that.
6:44 am
if we could gather that these about. when the fetus party came to power in 2011 of its 1st decisions was to give hungary nationality to ethnic conquering and living abroad. then that if june 4th the day the treaty of triano was signed it was declared a national day of remembrance. since 1900 the rhetoric here has remained the same but mourning the loss territories. in romania such sentiments of resurrected old fears instant to jorgen transylvania some 80 percent of the population speaks on derian the rest romanian un looking to shoot works here is an orthodox church activist he feels the hungry and government is provoking unrest especially when viktor orban recently posted this image of a map of the former greeks are hungry on social media.
6:45 am
100 years have gone by since the international recognition of the manias borders awkward to get to change. not far ethnic ontarian citizens enjoy all the same rights and have no reason to be nostalgically dreaming up the old days do you want to. stand here will agree with. that nationalist spirit is growing stronger on the remaining inside to. these energies sure remain in nationals forcibly taking control of a military cemetery where hungry and soldiers killed in world war one by bury the crime show hungary and south and we're rumanians will rule this land forever. a handful of tension demonstrators trying in vain to fend them off at the cemeteries entrance the police stand idly by while the remaining flag is raised over the cemetery. in contrast all is peaceful at the events in the carpathia and the secular and the long true meaning as ethnic minority haven't succumbed to
6:46 am
nationalist fervor yet they keep up their tradition. that you have look at it's our only thought time during the year but will never give up our homeland we were born here we live here we'll be there the will. to listen to and his friends are happy not to have to think about the new tensions between hungary and remain at the competition because it's all about their hearses sheer physical strength and skill and not political controversy. it's a sobering fact every single piece of plastic ever made still exists today in u.s. citizens produced 25 kilograms on average per capita each year and only a fraction of that number is actually recycled the rest is burned or shipped abroad while a many see a hopeless heap of plastic he sees potential dutch man dave hakon's invented
6:47 am
a machine that turns a waste into wares and he hopes his creation will inspire others to do the say. dave harkins makes good use of the things we throw away in his work space and told him he invents machines that can shape construction panels from waste design based on plastic sort of like a little. bit but another technique so we use this for like i don't know. now we always more looking into did techniques and then sharing it along and hopefully it inspires people maybe to want to blow maybe to make it into a lamp i don't know so it's for us always very exciting as well to see what the community makes with the techniques we provide. harkins idea is for everyone to be able to recycle their plastic waste to themselves anyone can download it's online instructions welcome to a new brushes plastic instruction video today we're going to build the plastic
6:48 am
shredder. the plastic waste is donated to dave and he lives from crowdfunding established by a worldwide community with some 300 recycling facilities they all share dave hawkins enthusiasm. so for. a way much to rust away but plastic last long so i think because of that it's precious it's just such a long life but we use it to make very disposable items so that's also why we call the project precious plastic to show people it's actually a precious valuable material. recycling gives discarded plastic a new lease on life it's the idea for an environmentally friendly world. but we've still got a long way to go through own into the bin out of sight out of mind in the european union a total of $26000000.00 tonnes of plastic waste is thrown away every year less than a 3rd is even recyclable for the most part it shipped to countries in asia their
6:49 am
plastic waste is either incinerated or simply pollutes the environment. from 2021 onwards the e.u. ones. to implement tougher rules and regulations like compulsory recycling of textiles the right to repairs on electronic devices and a radical reduction of the use of non-recyclable plastic packaging vivian dunellen spokesperson for the e.u. commission for the green deal believes that production methods must change we need to make sure that we have less waste in our households in our industry one of the important elements for example is the product design legislation that we would put forward next year if we make sure that these products are we do generate unless we can be used for longer can be reuse and so on. but for dave hawkins that's not enough as plastic objects are not all the same. so i got something for
6:50 am
you there come home because i just want to ask you why you can why distinct less than what you can use or just recycle because a lot of things aren't. here so you have different types of plastic basically so you have a lot of different ones and a lot of it is actually recyclable. but friends if you have a bottle cap there's a different plastic now on the transparent foil so you're going to need to separate the different materials into the different plastic but some products like let's say stuff back. more annoying because it has a foil on the inside with aluminum and i'm a perp restaurant so this is almost impossible to recycle because they will use everything together. in separates the different plastics from one another which costs them time for industry that also costs money but it's not always easy for manufacturers to avoid combining materials they often need to use different kinds
6:51 am
of plastic. there's no point in recycling existing plastics we need to use plastics that are biodegradable we no longer needed plastic was never developed to be recycled and the current strategy on plastics is by no means a real solution. it just leads to much higher costs of course. ground guard recommends switching to nylon. using nylon for packaging would make sense nylon has some on rival barrier properties groceries can be packaged much better with my lawyer and it's endlessly recyclable and so would give him. however on his expense of which is why it's not used more widely and organic materials have nothing on cheap plastic dave hawkins knows this which is why he's busy working on his recycling machines to make our waste a valuable commodity during the coronavirus pandemic an additional problem with plastic has arisen this is something people use
6:52 am
a lot of alone and i was thinking if i can use the law we'll have a lot of pressure of this opportunity but they won't. these face masks become residual waste in our incinerated. in germany alone there's a need for up to 12000000000 masks dave doesn't have a solution for this but he sees the way we use face masks that's reflective of our behavior more generally just to use a lot of plastic we produce a lot of it but we don't realize that we're actually also making a lot of of mass. even though we don't want to see it so i think we're in europe it's more about that so our mindset about conjunction that needs to change a lot. dave hawkins is clearing out his workspace as he's moving to portugal to start a commune of sorts its purpose. of course. what's the secret to happiness well the answer could depend on where you live for years
6:53 am
denmark has been rated one of the happiest places on earth a small country is even home to the world's only happiness museum and the days have plenty of reasons to smile they have free health care education and they take amusement very seriously. no you need to do things in copenhagen take part in a bizarre ritual. that christoph is 25 and isn't married yet. for some reason as buddies tied him to a street so obviously right like this he's baptized with a generous portion of cinnamon and beer having fun in life is part of what makes the danes happy. oh this is just producing the proof. it's your. you deserve to be on but but the happiness of the day is the only mostly i don't hold on hold specific answers i can't believe we're just enjoying life.
6:54 am
after. the danes can't really explain why they've been among the top nations and surveys for years now either other northern europeans like the finns are also highly ranked. of course there is an ebb and flow emotions but somehow you feel a special flare in life so there's a lot of smiling and celebrating no matter if it rains or shines. the happiness museum in copenhagen is looking for clues as to what makes someone happy and what makes that dana particular so happy. it quickly becomes clear there are many factors that cause happiness including simple ones. and stick to one of the things i experience differently here on a daily basis as opposed to living in germany and in berlin are the faces you see on the street and nobody here is ever deserving of a scowl and when people smile at the cashier in the supermarket or the cleaning
6:55 am
staff that has an impact on society as a whole that has actually. the museum offers some surprising insights earning more only has a positive effect up to an income of $4000.00 euros a month and interesting fact for those in search of happiness we're going to look for it you just have to catch the right moves and realize when you're. in denmark time seems more important than money here it's common to take time off to care for the children there are less hierarchies at the workplace and everyone is on 1st name terms. working well is more important than long hours at your desk friends and business. is more important than working hours. and denmark working hours can be accumulated it's just another piece of the puzzle that helps you find the answer to true happiness. well they're even happy with coming in 2nd place to finland on this year's world happiness report thanks so much for watching focus on europe and
