an extension of this to the conditions. still gets through. next on d. w. . orld. don't miss our highlights. program. w dot com highlights. hello and welcome to focus on europe i'm liable lola thanks for joining us the refugee camp morea 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 it raised it to the ground some 12000 people fled the flames and now need to be relocated 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 cow 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 crowd to unhygenic conditions with the outbreak of covert 19 what was supposed to be a short stop over 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 10 months or so disappointed because the european union could have helped us after all this time it's been 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 even. days after the fire in the morea refugee camp chaos reigns on the island of lesbos families like the mollies 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 the huge numbers of refugees for too long now he hopes things will change. for lesbian people and for myself. in a tragic way. because. something that. happened with this tragic way i'm very happy that we didn't have any story but still it's a good it's a big brother. 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. to get all over time things happened. there were

thefts and the refugees burned the olive trees for firewood. yes then public opinion changed. like 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 your totally disappointed. this is all these years we've heard talk of sympathy and support and more to come to the cause. but the only thing people are trying to do is make greece and especially the islands of the east a g.n.d. 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 less posts now the end patiently and increasingly desperate. for them the island has become a prison from which there is no escape since a corona virus outbreak in the camp many have been living in fear. yet is the. force situation for good if you would you really don't have to a little know what's earlier than of doing and when it does freedom freedom plaza those. 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 too for years others have no strength left but 1st this is them discovered it bad that i want to go in because the situation is very bad it's very hot i have

children. and. it seems a 2nd morea is on the cards something neither the refugees nor the islanders want to see but the e.u. is deeply divided some say we can't take them all and 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 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 miss all. 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. well 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 though your 1st instinct might be to head to the supermarket when your fridge is empty you could also go here urban foraging has grown in popularity fanks 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 while in london experience forgers like izzy are touring the city and teaching newbies how to eat plants like stinging nettles without getting her. to 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

a really nice edible the reason for this would be if we feed it to that chicken but it's well known as the humans as well put it in salads so a very mild. confidence everything very well and it's full of it and see. if he likes to pass on her expertise and lead scorching walks under the name benevolent weeds the corona lockdown gave more londoners the time and desire to explore the surroundings. oh yeah elderberries ripe for the picking. there's always anything that's not a protected species even in most parks smell those loaves. and tell me what you think they smell lot. some people say popcorn some people say catfish. are best not eaten 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. it's like very long. so we quickly continue on our way around the corner we make our next discovery yarrow. this further fella. one of my and old time fail so i go to hopes this is a killer and 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 and warns. grab a little bit. to. put on your wounds and then you can use the long leaves of the plants. 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 are baby sick of buying everything packaged in plastic and also having to buy what is just there 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 growing 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 maybe near here for 3 years and you know that you know it's a good thing as you know it. is he however is always hunting for edibles and often

makes surprising discoveries. last week and i found some truffles in the carpark of a tesco and i was quite excited. yeah it was amazing i was on my knees there going in the ground like a square 0 which is what you got there if you want to be a fart you need to so i think i come out and. maybe it's good that most londoners don't know about the free food around them that way there's 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 waters in eastern europe were redrawn suddenly millions of hunger areas became citizens of other countries including romania they're in the car pavia mountains and garion 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 this is a lumberjack for their traditional competition eastern for pathogens. after the 1st made war their region. had 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 are hungry aren't here this year coronavirus restrictions prevented them from crossing the border but i go straight it's a bad feeling and the nation before a lot of our brothers came from hungary but now the powers that be a fair bit nettled. they show a little sort of shows or. it's very important to us to maintain our connection to hungary. for some 100 millions 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 even suggested that the treaty of triano which redefined hungary's borders in 1020 will stay in effect forever. if we were doing it for the job we're 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 hungry in parliament a monument inscribed with the names of thousands of places which belong to hungary

until 1920 was unveiled this summer. historians the political calculation behind it . 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 at. them that if of and june 4th the day the treaty of triano was signed it was declared a national day of remembrance. since 920 the rhetoric here has remained the saying the morning the last territories best. hope for in romania such sentiments of resurrected fears instant to jorgen transylvania some 80 percent of the population speaks on derian the rest rumanian. works here as an orthodox church activists he feels the hungry and government has provoking unrest especially when

viktor orban recently posted this image of a map of the former greece are hungry on social media. little stupid beyond. 100 years have gone by since the international recognition of the many us 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 what do you want to . do equal if not you know will agree with. your 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 why bury the crime show hungary and south and we're rumanians who ruled this land forever. handsomest hunter 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 event in the car pathogens the secular the long true meaning as ethnic minority haven't succumbed to nationalist fervor yet they keep up their traditions. we don't yet know it's our only father time during the year but we'll never give up our homeland we were born here we live here the evil. that 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 and you said this is 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 big hakon's invented a machine that turns a waste into wares and he hopes his creation will inspire others to do the same. 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 thing we made like a big part of it but another technique so we're going to use this for like i don't know maybe now we always more looking into did techniques and then sharing it along and hopefully it inspires people maybe they want to bowl maybe they make it into a lamp i don't know search for i was always very exciting as well to see what the community makes with the case we provide. costumes idea is for everyone to be able

to recycle their plastic waste to themselves anyone can download it on line instructions welcome to a new brushes plastic construction video today we're going to build a plastic 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 from. the way michael rusts away but plastic last super 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 drone into the bin out of sight out of mind in the european union

a total of $26000000.00 tons 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 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 danelle a spokesperson for the e.u. commission for the green deal believes that production methods must change. 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 will put forward next year if we make sure that these products are we do generate less waves can be used for longer can be really used and so on. but for dave hawkins that's not

enough as plastic objects are not all the same. so i write something for you there come home because i just want to ask you why you can what is still less thinking what you can use or just recycle and killed a lot of things are listed. here so you have different types of plastic basically show 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 than the transparent than the foil so you kind of need to separate the different materials into the different plastic but some products like let's say your feet are fact. bit more annoying because it has a foil on the inside with aluminum and i'm a perp rest all its service is almost impossible to recycle because they 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 of plastic. there's no point 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 i long 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. however now line is expensive 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 a lot of the when i was they have i can use the law will have a lot of pressure of this opportunity but they don't. these facemasks become residual waste and are 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. food but we don't realize that we're actually also making a lot 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 says 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 denmark has been rated one of the happiest places on earth the 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. you know what i don't like things in copenhagen take part in a bizarre ritual. kristoff is 25 minutes of married yet. for some reason it's buddies tied into 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. to have a good one little sister producing group. which will. leave the

service a bit but but the happiness of the day is the only one of those polled there's no specific answer i can live by we're just enjoying life. 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 was 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 staff that has an impact on society as a whole 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 experiencing . and 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. duty 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 do let me know your thoughts about this show on twitter by. the a. clue .
