the results against cuts to. the consumer to become president. would. be challenges in this. case. credible story the spot you want. the. store to december to on w. . give. me me me. a warm welcome to this week's edition of focus on europe thanks for joining us today more and more migrants are hoping to reach the u.k. now because they fear at bragg's a deal may make it tougher to enter the country dreams of

a better life are leaving them to embark on the risky journey from france across the british channel some are getting on tiny boats using shovels as paddles their goal is to reach the wide cliffs of the english coast the coast guard often has to help migrants in this press because the crossing is so dangerous most migrants are aware of how risky it is to cross the english channel they know they may drown in the icy water and yet hundreds still set out from the french port city of cully in hopes of reaching the british city of dover now authorities and friends are stepping up efforts to prevent migrants from making the same tourist journey it's a daily cat and mouse game between the migrants and the french police. french police are on patrol in a jeans new callaway searching for items that migrants might have hidden during the day before crossing to britain and they struck lucky 3 backpacks with personal

belongings. they thought up to. find an outboard motor for their for you know a few metres further visiting. upper devonian said the function of this is the boat it's still a very new that's current together it's not heavy. the police beat the refugees to the scene if they wanted to leave the same night it's more than 40 kilometers across the icy cold sea to the english port of dover. we have prevented the crossing that could have ended in a fatal disaster. much too small and the engine is not strong enough by far the most likely they would have capsized. 90 french policemen

a finance by the british government to come on the coast their mission is to prevent refugees from reaching british soil. this is probably a gasoline canister. it must have been lying here for a long time with. john down are no grew up here he knows the beaches like the back of his hanging. over is over there. i wouldn't venture a to see this weather. further out the waves are 3 to 4 metres high. it's a dangerous passage narrow with huge container ships and tankers. a few weeks ago an entire kurdish family drowned in the seine it wasn't an isolated incident nevertheless several 1000 refugees afoot to have made it to britain this

year. many more refugees are prepared to risk their lives they come from example from eritrea around. most of them have enjoyed enormous hardships and paid smugglers a fortune to get this far they see the police as a threat. this young man we'll call him abdullah is a refugee he tells us he comes from sudan he was persecuted and they had full fled to germany where he studied computer science but his asylum application was rejected they didn't believe his story of. the study to germany at the university in seguin and still i'm not allowed to work i'm not allowed to do anything nothing makes sense anymore. after wants to apply for asylum in britain he's already tried to cross the english channel by boat but the police caught him it was a traumatic experience. yes they were very aggressive the french police were

very aggressive. when you try crossing by boat exactly the police beat me twice. the refugees aren't allowed to leave but i am welcome to stay either several people tell us that the task force used tear gas and destroy their tents again and again pitch is a daily police arrest meant that a refugee posted online. now after wants to hide in a truck and reached britain via the channel tunnel a safe attrit them by boat. but later the police find a refugee with sniffer dogs giving up is out of the question for abdo he will try again. though persecuted by the police the refugees a supported by aid organizations. works for utopia $56.00 which distributes

clothes to refugees he's convinced that the controls lead to nothing but what it is all the controls only result in the refugees taking greater and greater risks and more of them and of drowning the refugees are afraid of the police so they get into an adequate boat night sometimes the weather is bad but they try their luck anyway no matter how many gendarmes they use the number of refugees who want to go to britain does not decrease. the flow should crossing in the eyes of the richie g.'s a final chance for a better life for john downes we accompanied assured us that their unit behaves correctly. your job we do it with a tough hand but we remain humane our goal is to save lives. and we asked what's the solution for the refugees the police have no answer they

say it's not their responsibility and so the game of hide and seek continues in the genes the caliphate. have you ever asked yourself where the material for the clothes you're wearing comes from well the cotton may be from turkey it's the leading cotton supplier in europe and it also has a booming textile industry but the demand for fast fashion i round the world may be forcing turkish children to work on cotton farms although the turkish government says it has officially banned child labor each harvest tens of thousands of miners have to toil away and the scorching heat. the sun is so hot stings. but 10 year old seville i picks the cotton tirelessly. while elsewhere other children her age play or go to school seville i understood leagues have to work in the field with their parents and relatives. asked civility whether she ever had any free time well after breakfast my father says come on let's go and

work and in the afternoon my mother tells me to look up to my younger sister. she was upset when we asked if she ever had any free time to play. and that is 12 years old. he's been driving a tractor since he was 10. he says that he enjoys the art of picking cotton is tough. every year he works in the fields for up to 2 months. that's how long the harvesting takes. injuring this time keep the children don't go to school or hard to learn optional tever we pick cotton from 6 in the morning to 6 at night he when the sun the whole time it's always the same and the same for all of my friends. but your father shenouda with you tonight for the.

dreams of a better future. he wants to be a policeman. i want to have a steady income and i want my children to have a better life than me. civilities mother also works in the fields with the children. she told us that she is not happy that her daughters have to pick cotton. this is just of course we want our children to go to school we want to offer them a good live. on but we don't have any choice we have to make cotton what can we do if we don't worry we don't have any money but i believe them so they should stay. the families who work here come from villages as far as 50 kilometers away during the harvest they live in tents. every fall tens of thousands of

children work to help their families get through the winter even though child labor is officially banned in turkey. but there is no social welfare to. the owner of the land rama zone and knows the children are not supposed to work. families can leave their children anywhere they come from several. you. should have no alternative but to stay with their families they should go to school but who would take care of them so they're here to do in the harvest they have fetch water for the lot. but the families are paid per kilo of cotton $0.08 per kilo seville i can pick about 20 kilos per day that's one euro 60. jugful professor said that's barack has been conducting research into seasonal workers for years. he was cautious when we asked who was responsible for the fact

that up to $50000.00 children work in the fields for several months each year. everyone knows the situation because of the corona virus pandemic to your seville i should be in front of a computer receiving online lessons but she's doing something different and the economic situation doesn't allow her to do anything else even if you want to there's no computer those responsible are the key players in our society. does everyone know yes well anything be done you know. or you. know so surveillance 12 year old sister when she's finished picking cotton she helps to wash laundry she also works the whole day remember the mock them. getting i don't want to be here.

i want to go to school. it's hard to earn a living i think school lesson it's a much nicer. i'd rather go to school don't work here. for mother does not think that her children have very good future prospects. i think children's future looks like their parents feature on that they going to be working in the fields to. a long day in the cotton fields come to an end of eli and nurse i'll sit by the fire for a while. maybe nurse so ponders over her fate before she can only dream of a better future. this is what's a proper english garden looks like impeccably kept great design a feast for the eyes but now there is that in this it's of in eastern england which

encourages land owners to let go of this perfect large family time as one of the founders of the project called wild beasts he is returning 20 per cent of his family estates to nature meaning wild animals and plants can grow and thrive as they want some of his neighbors are a bit skeptical of the idea but at least the animals love their new found freedom. after. all these large black says they are called are allowed to dig around in the ground almost anywhere on a summer like new state in the east of england acting as a secret weapon of sorts for the station and farm some late. they're very offensive you can afford to have caught on the pigs for quite a short time to get the to sensor to the ground to allow open space for new seeds built some late stage spans over 20 square kilometers and he calls the mansion home

the jason town provides space for all the animals to roam freely after the stereotypical english loon the station is allowing nature to completely greek life on one 5th of his property. his father also ran a farm part of the conventional source where it would have been unthinkable for council peeps to want to rush up to the doorstep had always been very keen on. nature and wanting to do things better my dad found a very frustrating he had a sort of almost a victorian hangover of tightness. and we clashed a bit on that. deal with some malaysians pigs are slaughtered but at the same time they also help conserve nature by lending trace of biodiversity to the forest a phone species had run rampant there for centuries and the pigs and need to keep it in chink. in order to. you know stimulate the soil so that

the seed by the throat. we need to disrupt brucker. activity as soon as they've completed their task the piece has to leave the forest again if you just have pigs you'll only have this and that so there's a different god so you know one has a control so rewarding is is a great term but in that sense it's. trying to balance right between different spaces trying to get the perfect sort of habitat to get the most biodiverse environment. but also nathan and those who share his convictions try to win over their neighbors most nearby farm and ask him to. resist change at restaurants particularly traditional farmers and rewarding staff and i think anyone that in that respect just it's always seems a fad you know i mean so. there's a lot there's a lot of people are breaking on it but hopefully will would work when round

benchley politically. don't assimilate and doesn't agree that only wealthy landowners can afford to conserve nature and sees himself as a pioneer venturing down new parts but he is convinced everyone will need to rethink things and has already found 200 associates thank you to a few new famines and neighborhood initiatives as well as a nearby warren school for children with disabilities such as. the brits were incredibly good farmers and gardeners but that tends to mean tidying stuff up and managing everything to. be a great example of this or that whether this is a school playing field or whether it's. a public park it's kind of. typical management for the last 50 years and this is you know plenty of it's a new form of management. to stimulate the senses. to.

look at something latencies finding a bond with nature is an experience as many people as possible should benefit from and he wishes to chance for 100. of neighboring marsh land. attracting tourists i'm already in that space i'm already halfway there. and what kind of walking up and down this river valley but still with cattle and we. saw the systems but that have to be gentle. but he has to persuade his neighbor. because pete's roaming free on the property really too much for most families. in montenegro journalists investigating corruption and organized crime often puts their lives at risk the balkan republic wants to join the e.u. but rights groups criticize frequent violations of reporters rights montenegro's press freedom has deteriorated in the previous years journalists had to fix soft

it's from the town of bet and may soon be authorities for failing to protect him from being brutally attacked because of a story he had uncovered. i know there's a certain day in toronto in ne in montenegro as always generous to a few soft each party in front of his house it was dark he didn't see too many lying in wait for him. but are beyond their ability to repeatedly hit me in the head hard. i tried to protect my head filled to my knees they broke my hand. in a mirror for i have many head wounds. i was bleeding. could have no idea how long it lasted how many minutes. you know so i can't say anymore i be laid back until his daughter found him he was taken to hospital fusions those

who beat him up to sow seeds of a new tory is a drug lord here written about there are many indications of that but public prosecutors dropped the case years later soft which thinks that the drug lords politicians and the judiciary to intertwined. i'm totally convinced that there was no political will to resolve the case when this happened to one of their support therefore. it wasn't the 1st time did such a being attacked in 20 show team there was an explosion in his car. such as no you say the fact that the culprit still had to be found is intentional. or and smart but i told the lady. of the river i think that this is a message from certain groups to journalists the media. is to restrict press

freedom. it's not a one off either intimidation of journalists and violence against them quite common in montenegro the country is ranked 105 in the world. press freedom index behind her sandbag. the e.u. and others repeatedly criticized the links between politics and goodness crime and the lack of an independent judiciary in montenegro. we had passengers and that's very problematic for some of these guys he had been already. investigated in clear out some of them not to be further efforts to be invested in these kind of risk occasions. when it came to journalist you very much a new feature the judiciary was seemingly very efficient he was arrested in 2015 was researching drug trafficking and weapons smuggling. he shows us

a video that should provide evidence of his research arms trade as had hidden machine guns pistols and hand grenades here loads of one years ago they took the nails essentials in his. this cargo was banned from france some of the stuff found it up with terrorists. and it was confirmed officially that . the weapons from the former yugoslavia were used in. terrorist attacks. the court would not admit this i was on assignments. the court or was the relevant motion of each spent almost a year and a half in custody he was only released from international protests a court found him guilty of having a ranged drug deal but he says that this was merely a means of silencing him. to refute the allegations.

are they all. he was found guilty of establishing the contract between the seller and buyer in a deal involving 20 chinos of marijuana one or heard that. this is a crime that he was found guilty of bloody obvious good it's not the allies. and he has nothing to do and his profession. nationally which was found guilty on 2 counts of aiding and abetting but he has decided to appeal the ruling i think politics is behind my incarceration and my conviction by refused to cooperate with the secret service and plays a role in part the. on many times at least the almost only potent d.p.'s party was recently voted out after almost 30 years in power.

parts of teach doubts the situation will change significantly between new government. or the smallest daughter was. the old government has left behind a difficult legacy of of creases of attacks of july. this is a major problem for press freedom and for the future. the new government has said that it will respect press freedom. the city of segovia is a popular tourist destination located north of the spanish capital madrid and aqueducts and built by the romans as one of the city's monuments and a unesco world heritage site now legend has it that one residents made a pact with the devil centuries ago after years and years the devil has returned to segovia and just like a regular tourist he couldn't resist the temptation of taking

a selfie in front of the city's most famous monuments. this will bring bronze devil sits perched on a wall high above the city narcissistically taking selfies in front of the world famous aqueduct of cigar which according to legend was built by the devil the statues created by sculptor unto you have been almost 2 years ago. but now that may lead us with doctors 2000 years old it's different while mobile phones are only a few years old but the devil is a timeless being an imagineer devil coming to see if you are proud of his work and nowadays of course he has a mobile phone with him and if they're like everyone else it was worth looking at the list. and fact the statue refers to a legend in order to use a young girl's heavy burthen when fetching water the devil offered her to build a water line in just one night but it's came at a price per soul by sunrise however the aqueduct wasn't finished the diabolical

deal was $40.00 to $1.00 team rage to devil fled the city the roman aqueduct and so go via is a unique school world heritage site and a popular photo. but the devils return is controversial. catholic associations are angry about the statue under the sculptor. persist a building a statue depicting evil of all things which the devil represents is an insult so yeah of course in this case itself it's the work. which is why we have to defend ourselves but we must protest against this because we have to choose she not to remain silent. they have collected fantasies of signatures and launched appeals into courts but so far invented the term and to continue their fight against the devil in the city to start you still looks on from above say new me tension. and that's all we have time for today we have war stories from across europe on our
