this week on world stories. breadstick complicates fishing in scotland. digital nomads enjoy the sun in portugal but we begin in bosnia and herzegovina where migrants who flee to europe must endure great hardship hundreds have left refugee camp to live in the forest despite the freezing weather. for the past 3 months this makeshift camp near boston us border with crazy has been hold for he'll suffer the young pakistani sharks a shelter in the woods with 5 others there. if that's the thing that. is but that will change in what the thing did for them not only in this my food they have enough to eat suffer says but other than that they have practically nothing all this time of year temperatures often drop well below 0 or

suffer has to collect goods from the far east to keep the rule of best only one reason the men endure these conditions they want to get so crazy and into the european union thrive in a town quicker in time a little park police catch. their beard while you can. afford to. have you coming across the border. with a fully. safir wants to find work in germany in his hometown of currency of pakistan he says he had to struggle day in day out just to make ends meet and while living in the woods is hard he says it's still better than life and deep are the leaper refugee camp made headlines in recent weeks 1st it was cleared and burned down the migrants and refugees have now been moved into tents but many here say

nobody should live like this in winter it's pictures like these but half attracted unwanted attention to how boston authorities have handled the situation but the region's prime minister says the e.u. and the bosnian government share the blame. so there are solutions for the migration situation in bosnia the highest officials in this country reaches so political will just jobs and regulate illegal migration in the country and to control how the money is spent you know of all the people we spoke to here nandan want to stay in bosnia but rather to continue their journey into the e.u. for many the chances of being granted asylum in the year are slim but it doesn't deter soffer who says going back to pakistan is not an option europe have everything. food is go of everything.

because the paperwork was in. ship it was written off it never made it never made the journey to the continent a life you know mcqueen's langoustines usually end up exclusively at fish markets in the e.u. like here and there in france but at the moment hardly any cargo comes through from scotland since bread sid and there are a of additional paperwork is required including you health certificates for life catch health certificate has to then correspond with the order or travel. on the correct lawdy or the plane. and if there is a slightest if the paperwork doesn't match up in the slightest way then it's rejected. many fishermen on the west coast of scotland feel the same way as mcqueen in the scottish town of open there are a few tracts waiting for fish crabs on mussels for the continent but. any fishermen

like mcqueen want to wait and see if the problems can be sold before they send the precious cargo into the unknown. and entire region has come to a standstill many people here are angry i think it should not absolutely this was a gentle reminder that they have just had no help whatsoever frankly in all weathers just for a city in china and a lesson in the county in my fish figures show can bear in mind 62 percent of the scottish football wish and want it to mean what breaks it and this is exactly the 1st defeat not just for the shellfish but for a lot of the produce from scotland was going to you. knew mcqueen is convinced there's no easy fix additional bureaucracy is a new problem that comes with drags it for him and many other fishermen in scotland the survival of this business is at stake.

now to afghanistan according to reporters without borders it's one of the most dangerous countries for journalists in the world critical reporting can bring prison terms or even death. this is the 3rd funeral of a journalist in afghanistan in 2 months the t.v. and radio presenter my lai my wand and her driver were killed by gunmen in early december. and then so hard i'm doing what i would if i don't want to know you coming down. she was on her way to work and we had planned to do a show together i was on air when i got the news we had to stop the shows were but how about iraq and of course i want him to know that she knew pretty much forgot to order for a journalist and a woman in the spotlight 25 year old with a symbol of the new afghanistan a threat to fundamentalists and goes she criticized. but i have 10 more daughters

like milo who could give their lives for a cause but i want the killers apprehended back in the know what it was not targeted killings of journalists like my one by gunmen or car bombs have become all too common in afghanistan despite the ongoing peace talks between the government and the taliban the country is still rated as one of the world 5 most dangerous places for journalists and with weekly reports of new attacks threats and intimidation local journalist groups are raising the alarm another member that afghan journalist safety committee wrote a letter to the un security council urging it to help reduce the violence. i don't think it's ever been as. scary as it is right now. because it's serious at all journalists aren't threats. only 6 weeks we have lost jobs for jobs some of all the. jokes you know are. so ridiculous. so come and bust has created that sense if you're an american

journalist all over the country. just days after my one death and almost 300 kilometers away another journalist from atlantic sad was killed. shot close to his home but are not gunmen the next head of the local journalists union and reporter for outlets like a.p. and al-jazeera according to his colleagues threats and inform the authorities about them but got little help. an attack on journalists is an act of oppression in our society no one is more pressed than journalists i have to say let's question ourselves and let's get united let's ask our leaders to explain why this cruelty happens and how long it's going to continue whether it is the taliban i-s. local strongman or government affiliates the question of who is behind these attacks often remains unanswered yet for those who continue to do their work as journalists one thing is clear they should not have to risk their lives to do their jobs.

amal as one of the most dangerous countries in the world. around the capital guatemala city gangs of young people known as moderates spread fear and terror among the population. it doesn't matter that they sit down behind you pull out a gun and shoot you in the head if you've been at. the games control entire neighborhoods engaging in extortion prostitution and drug trafficking the women they get they come and demand money not when we pay they disappear again guys. after weeks of negotiations we've been allowed into the world. because of the military you know bush years voice or death can't kiss our ashes. with the

police failing to stop the gangs. citizens are taking matters into their own hands . to control. the concept turn around on the floor when. you guys want to mala faces an ongoing fight against the merciless violence of them out us. for all. we're 2 french filmmakers who've come to be in the way of life just south of guatemala city to find a way inside the world of the modern. this is a poor area plagued by gang crime. after long negotiations one gang member agrees to meet with us. yet i lay awake for the

whole but the game and i spoke with a colleague yesterday and he told me that they wanted to kill him just because he was getting on their nerves transporter the. pedro was a husband and father and the local leader of body or 181 of the most brutal youth gangs in the country. pedro was this neighborhood with an iron fist. and then that's going to be done mostly i need the money today you have to pay on time he will send someone to collect the money was no poll. that's right. because you know that if something happens to one of my guys it'll be your fault. and that means you die. you know that right there but.

the local butcher hasn't paid his protection money on time pedro's youngest employee christiane is being sent to collect it it's his 1st assignment. so i go to the shop and put the money in the bag. yeah and you have to go to 3 places today 1st to the one grocery store then to the other one and finally the butchers and then you come back. we get into a car with tinted windows and follow christiane from a distance as he makes his way through the neighborhood. his 1st stop is one of the stores. they get me to see goans doesn't remember

the storekeeper has been expecting christiane without a word he puts the money in a bag and hands it over. on to the next door. you know i'll have a books of matches so they're going to do. that to the butcher was behind on his payments every day give me a piece of meat and put the money in the same bag. as and then it's as. if this piece of meat you send number yeah i'll have 5 like that and put the money in the bag. just as. each game has its own symbols they nabl members to create a common identity and distinguish themselves from enemy gangs they're proud to show their affiliation.

but those are present them with a lot of thing these tattoos represent about the person that was a go to wherever we go we represent our gang. it's that's what these dogs here mean . to know that there is this in this biters web is also. it shows that we're spreading out further and further. and this one is lovely the loca is it's you know the handcuffs i mean you've been to prison. many of the top gang leaders are serving life sentences their status is illustrated by facial tattoos. but prison doesn't put a stop to their life of crime. from their cells the mob bosses order murders throughout the country. want to follow as one of the poorest

nations and latin america. the small republic has 17000000 inhabitants. until january 2020 the country was led by former comedian and t.v. star jimmy morales. his agenda fighting corruption. is big fingers at the empty me quadruples. but morales didn't keep his election promises. instead the president himself was accused of illegal campaign financing. 2019 he found himself in the sights of a un anti corruption task force. morales had the investigators expelled from the country. what amala is riddled with corruption and violence. the murder rate is 20 times higher than in most european countries.

in view in the way of inhabitants feel the wrath of paper. the local boss of the party or 18 getting. his lieutenant christiane has returned from the weekly protection money roundup. he collected 900 cats dogs for residents. the equivalent of about $110.00 euros. christiane receives a 10 euro share. pedro 20 with the remaining 80 going to the senior gang leaders. protection rackets are the main source of income for the modern us ahead of drug dealing and prostitution. here in my neighborhood alone that we collect around $5000.00 the cat salaries per week and that's only in my neighborhood. and the other parts of the favela gang takes in between 708-0000. sometimes more than 150

grand in a week. in 21000 extortion rose by almost 40 percent across the country. the victims are mostly the poorest citizens who have no choice but to give in to the gangs. if people don't pay you kill them yes. grew up in poverty the 4th child in a family of 13 when he was just a boy he left home and moved to the capital in search of a better life. he quickly found himself part of barrio 18 and he spent 20 years fighting his way up the game's hierarchy. hello those 10 years inputs. i started when i was 12. small jobs like being a lookout and. yet i spent more time with the gang

and then they made me a soldier. from there i became what i am today. i did my 1st mission when i was 14 that's good news for newcomers. one how many people do you remember killing. i've lost count. that i honestly i don't know. i stopped counting after a team ascended to your. music after 18 murders a gang member is given the title seek out your hit man. peter shows no remorse in front of the camera he may be a father of 4 but remains committed to the task. that's how do you feel when you kill someone who has a family this is a city of. grace. grey

but we don't have any other option. of course we feel for the family but it's our duty. we can refuse to do it even if there's a family needed even if i have a family myself and orders are orders or doing your thing. if pedro refused an order he'd be killed himself it's a life of constant fear including for his wife. with a horse. as a wife and a mom what do you think of your husband's work. but in mine well it's very bad it's horrible who are we to take away someone else's life. but it's his work i can only watch listen and keep my mouth shut. that's just how it is. neil as his wife i'm afraid something will happen to him and i'll end up

alone. pedro is 32 years old which is not far short of a miracle rarely 2 gang members survive past the age of 25. the moderates have their roots in the united states in the 1970 s. and eighty's with civil wars raging in honduras el salvador and guatemala young people there had very few prospects many fled north to california where criminal gangs were at the peak of their powers. and they were happy to recruit these new migrants into their ranks. at the end of the 1990 s. when the situation in central america had become more stable the us government sent back criminals and undocumented immigrants. some of those deported then imported l.a.

style gang life into their home countries. well. and in many places in guatemala it is they who now control the streets. in 29000 the country saw more than 3500 homicides with the police and the judicial system unable to contain gang related violence. at the entrance to the rio last by below is a makeshift fortified building the local police headquarters. 54 officers work shifts here day and night to protect 75000 residents it's an impossible task. the men live sleep and work and 3 shipping container shacks.

mark owen tonio has been stationed here for 6 years. in business these houses for us policeman. printing terms you know how much time do you spend here. we work 11 full days and then have 6 days off so we spend more time here than we do with our families. i mean yes. every time we go home we thank god because some of us don't make it home they go to work and they never come back. you know. it's hard to deal with but that's the way it goes he said even though. the guatemalan fight against game crime has a high price in 2018 all known 78 police officers were killed. a high risk comes with a good salary the equivalent of $565.00 euros per month twice the ever salary guatemala

. and it's the money the officers desperately need for equipment. you. need not 125 for the want you to see going to go and 94 nights. later than. it used. at the end of the month the police station becomes a marketplace for weapons and other accessories. a former arms dealer sells the officers everything that isn't provided by the authorities on the job their job when it was carefully. coped with no make the last minute. use combatant by over again for me bulletproof fasts belts holsters for their guns. includes ammunition to all of us is no more users with their own money yes. even for their uniforms would you put a mask. the main thing is. the policeman lack vital safety equipment

when preparing for a mission only one of the males fully kitted out. of. this is a bullet proof fast. but if he gives me protection but. is it important sure it's very important places. but not everyone gets one name and. you're the only one who has one yeah. normally the 54 officers have one bullet proof vest in one machine gun to go around . this off road vehicle has been waiting to be repaired for 2 years. the unit has only one functioning vehicle. thinking will do

you. realize this isn't expected carlos i'm on my way to the bus terminal they wouldn't. be on the bangle. inspector carlos is in charge today. for the same but i was let's me by lima ok at the location ok florian. what's happening you know that. we've been in phone to the 14 year old has a firearm. ever close but apparently he's already fired at this moaning that. he could kill someone so we're looking for him and. like many criminals in the city the shooter still a minor inspector carlos receives a tip off about the boy's address although you know it's in an area the locals call

like in the heart of the popular. it's an extremely rundown area controlled by the barrio 18 gangs. are. brought to dinner at the 3rd house. this one here. get over here you know here. coming up. the house is a half collapsed corrugated iron heart with clear signs that people live here. there's no trace of the armed boy. the police call off the operation.

it seems the boy go to way we think he was in the house with a ditch running alongside it. that's where he must have fled. but whatever happens we'll keep searching for him and we'll get him eventually. despite the unit being undermanned and under equipped inspector carlos remains optimistic. not better than a cemetery in guatemala city the scene of a never ending series of funerals i. was a little police works here for him the summer for sessions are just

a part of the day to day routine plus what is. there are 20 or 25 funerals every day. one burial directly follows the next most of the deceased were minors as evidenced by the young faces adorning the gravestones. the range of their young 141618 to 19 year old wachovia familiar yet. we rarely bury old people here. these are young people just kids get lead lives. every year several 100 murders are committed by young gang members in guatemala. the victims are mostly rivals from other groups. but ordinary citizens are also killed if they refuse to pay protection money. one group

particularly at risk are bus drivers. i. i. i. just got to work sing one of all a city. for 12 years he's been driving the bus route from the offloaded on neighborhoods to the center of the city. the buses on time. every time he gets behind the wheel he's afraid. that when we leave the house in the morning we pray it's a very dangerous job. that's believe us that. it's ok he turned off. good save me that part of this bill we look in the wing mirror whenever a motorbike gets close they run up to the front of the bus and then bang. they'll

shoot from the front through the window or the door as it was 9 all day coming up penn a guy and a girl sit in the back they take out a gun and shoot you in the head was a latin mass if i had to read it that's the only maybe in being a like that is. a. 2019 king member shot dead 73 boston taxi drivers in guatemala. got himself narrowly escaped that fate. in 2015 he was targeted on his way to the bus depot. there was no i mean i goes out and was walking around the house. when i got to the corner i still thought. i was right here. i saw this guy pull out a gun. he looked at me and then boom shot me 6 times in

a he shot me another 5 times in the back. i was able to shield my head. then i collapsed tiger. 11 shots in total. miraculously he survived but not everyone is so lucky. this was a shock to me on a saturday the following. monday they shot another driver the driver that he didn't make it he died on his way to work i mean the movie. time and time again bus companies find themselves in the modern sights. if the firm's refused to pay protection money it's not long before the gangs take action. moscow was attacked because his boss refused to be blackmailed. by get how's

it going. i'm not done yet. you have to take care here ok do whatever it takes to have it back on the street today it is the one the buses have to be up and running and this is going to go there are going to be in the meantime we're goes beyond del beast runs this bus company which has a fleet of 14 vehicles she took over the business after her husband was murder he too was killed because he didn't pay the gangs on time. that mandelamine 5 years ago my husband lost his life in an attack. the message the situation in guatemala is we're really very seriously come we do what i love you live saturday the violence is getting extreme so to be a. job use now does pay the protection money to keep our driver safe every month it's the same for the look of them wouldn't. you.

say i could look as they are this is how it works a person we've never seen before comms and hands over a piece of paper with the price and that's it when i was in the least one month we paid 10 euros then 20 and then 30 it changes all the time and by a simple that no i do not. know about you know if we don't pay it gets complicated very complicated they ask where their money is. what is complicated mean. death. c.n.n. was yes an ambush and in some cases death i want to. legal gun sales in guatemala have increased by about 20 percent in one year. there's often a line outside the local arms control office people of all ages stand in wait to apply for a permit the requirements are lax. to

the present one out of maybe way by law to be able to buy a new gun but you need a receipt for the gun and i deal with that clearly on the criminal record and electricity bill as proof of address but i get it that except that meant the world that i would see this little do you. people take advantage of the flexible regulations with one in a quantum all it's now carrying a gun. some take things a step further forming vigilante groups to enforce law and order. this is the boss in the neighborhood to be in the way of us not far from the capital. in the local soccer stadium allen's whistle has the final say on his turf. he's a referee responsible for the regional championship.

i was. over on the touchline as this trusted companion a 9 millimeter pistol. the 34 year old doesn't leave home without it. he has the gun to protect his family. for 16 years alan has been fighting the threat from the city's gangs. the father of 4 leads a vigilante group in his neighborhood. so we got together when they started extorting children but every child starting at school was threatened. all the neighbors agreed that if we saw any mosques we'd

kill them. today not just 40 or 50 people in this neighborhood there are 500 of us there. are the moderates have been terrorizing the streets of bias in our streets for years but since the vigilantes mobilized the gangs have barely ventured into the neighborhood. island's wife jonna is relieved. in other areas even poor people but not here thank god there are lots of stores everything safe the sun. the kids often play outside. and they go to school and come home without us having to worry and they can't get. to keep his children safe alan goes out of control every evening. and
