7:35 am
a phased plan to tackle the city's environmental problems but then there were elections in sarajevo and the new can tunnel govern. and simply dissolved his ministry. what they're doing is simply criminal and someone should be held responsible. in my opinion to say this is pure corruption and a new majority in the new government will simply decide that there will be no more special planning new urban development and therefore numerous attempts to improve their quality. i years of planning in vain he blames the construction sector lobby. is just mafia last year i bet is does not believe anything will change in the foreseeable future today of all days he must go to the office located on the main road in the city center i know today that i have to go

politically sensitive topics like turkey's reconciliation with the armenians or the kurdish issue. international human rights experts are appalled by cavelos incarceration. anyone who comes across it from outside the country and looks in and sees this trial going on wonders what's this about why is this necessary. why can a man who a stent simply works in civil society and mainly in arts and culture become such a problem for the government the moment i think of. to engage with his critics. he always said let's try to get turkish culture authorities on board for our projects and he wanted to cooperate with different municipalities even when they were controlled by the ruling a.k.p. party he insisted on this to an extent which sometimes bothered me but he was adamant the law was good. wife says all this jail time is taking

7:42 am
decided to treat themselves any way they are buying fresh produce at markets and making their favorite dishes at home because who says you can't have great food just because there's locked down. france has the corona blues the french haven't been able to eat at restaurants in months for a nation of goldman's that's hard to swallow. but the international market in gorgeous near paris is saving the day at 5 am vegetable trader boris for sure is already hard at work not sure who's going to get on the scene here on the on losing team. from 3 until 6 in the morning the big trucks arrive here at the quay and we unload the dishwasher the merchandise is then taken into the market to go. to europe's biggest market is booming during the pandemic they have sold $90000.00 tons of fish and seafood 270000 tons of meat and more than $1200000.00 tons of

7:44 am
good for your figure. although. we don't have any statistics but it's probable that people are gaining a base of wheat they're eating more. to enjoy life and they are getting less exercise this week and for the mother with well i the only products for which there is little demand big zadok fish which are normally served in restaurants but overall the markets manager is very pleased with sales i tell you but this is the only the traders who ordered the whole tree worth concern that wouldn't be able to sell it at christmas was as new more than 6 people were allowed to dine together even in that sort of quite well. you know so she could normal. 9 in the morning at must in paris at this popular market projects from a gorgeous is on sale giving parisians some joy division in the corona crisis but

7:46 am
you do it's deadly for me but that will feel good. in france to the end of the corona crisis is nowhere in sight still the trade is that this famous market need paris and complain. it's just the spy who left me it's not just the title of a james bond movie starring roger moore it's also the title of a chapter in the lives of british women like kate she thought she had met the man of her dreams but after years of a happy relationship it turned out that the man she shared her life with was on a mission to collect information about her and fellow activists in fact she's not the only woman that this took advantage of. lisa often went hiking with her boyfriend whenever they could they would get away together and enjoy being out in nature it was one of their hobbies lisa's face
7:47 am
isn't being shown in this report because it could negatively affect the clarification of her case. she was my life partner i really thought that we were at the beginning of something that you know we had a future together. lisa was together with mark for 6 years they spent a case since christmas and their nights together. they come in family life in such an intimate way and in such an in you know it's it seemed quite intrusive to think that he. when i found out who yet really was to know that he'd been that i was closest i miss you know the times when i'm when i've just lost my father and the 1st person i ring when i'm leaving the hospital is having just seen my my father die he's the 1st person i call so you know it's it's very close.
7:48 am
50 years ago lisa was a dedicated didn't fire mental activist she took part in climate change demonstrations and in her group organized protests against power plants mark was always in on the action. years later while they were on holiday together she came across mark's idea with a completely different name on it she was really an undercover police officer who'd been assigned to report on her and those around her. felt to me like the ground risk moving on to my feet like like the mountains went solid anymore it was really really de stabilizing made me maybe afraid because i just didn't know what to believe what was true and what wasn't. several times a day mark would inform his police contact about what was happening in the environmental activists. after his cover was blown he agreed to be filmed to explain how his job worked you can use the words for you. must govern intelligence
7:49 am
all left wing movement on the plane to fascist movements on environmental what it means more infantry teaching people and. selling credit card carrying a worsening economy or selling child children. that are such a joy in filtration people who have a social conscience. 7 whatever environmental activists plan protests like this one at a coal fired power plant in rochester mark would pass on info to his contacts in advance so the police knew how to prepare for the demonstration with just enough but not too many officers but doesn't fabricating a relationship cross the line for undercover police operations. and anyone quote we were falling in love in are these things just happen. the police issued an official apology acknowledging that their agents went too far because after mark's
7:50 am
cover was blown more colleagues were unmasked at least 30 women were unknowingly in relationships with undercover police officers ok that's one of them she was also together with mark but before he met lisa cates pitched a tent in their garden so we could talk to her during the corona pandemic she's taking legal action against the police her case is now before the karpin court of human rights. what they were doing was terrible and the units were institutionally sexist and they were using women as an operational tactic. he had accuses the police of contravening the european contents. and on human rights she says her right to privacy was violated because as her partner mark pried into all areas of her life she feels the police demeaned her.
7:51 am
the human right who exists above all to identify when states abusing human rights and if we can establish that it is an abuse of human rights then that goes some way towards. making it preventing it from happening and. still can't be sure of that although the british government has officially condemned the police tactics it hasn't acted accordingly in london and the inquiry into undercover policing has been going on for months but has produced surprisingly few results and the government itself has just able to bill in parliament that would expand rather than limit what undercover agents can do that would even allow them to break laws much to the surprise of fellow conservative m.p.'s this time bill deals with participation in criminal conduct by covert schuman and
7:52 am
intelligence sources this is an important and unique tactic by working their way into the hearts of criminal groups choose are able to access intelligence that of the investigation powers may simply never detect how is that using the human rights act to underpin the rights of us it is the way in which agencies are required to act under the spillway is that they can actually weigh that is inconsistent with the convention rights. so british laws would offer no protection against too much spying only the european convention on human rights the police would have less control to fear in future. anybody working undercover for these organizations is going to have a. root to be authorized to commit crime and to face no legal consequence for that so i think it definitely still going on lisa relationship with mark and did a decade ago but it's hard for her to find closure as she fears this kind of spying
7:53 am
will never end. finding 10 years later that there are still new depths to be to be you know this new things coming out a new reasons to be angry all over again. mark spent more than 7 years spying on his partner yet the information he obtained never led to a single conviction. we now take you to a paradise for many animals it's located in romania in the danube delta to be precise in the village of left you'll find a forest with wild horses and now it's maybe attempting to jump on one of them and ride into the sunset but the horses probably prefer being left alone. the remove the new delta is once a few retreats for wild horses in europe. they find shelter in the unspoiled nature
7:54 am

7:55 am
. and these horses are unique in us you can't find so many wild horses together in one place anywhere else by. the sight of wild horses trotting feeley see nature is magical however it is taking 30 years to research awareness for the benefit force protection. from my chair i. cannot afford it the more the people here don't have many opportunities to earn money 10 years ago people sold a horse to a slaughter house for 20 euros i told them that they could earn much more by keeping the horses alive now with villager who shows the horses to tourists who can earn up to 400 euros a day. protecting the wild horses is cookies life mission. he is convinced that the forest and the forces can continue to strive together in harmony. well those beautiful
