what to do with the wrong way so. we can be different by choosing smart solutions overstrained said you don't. like to answer your series a few hours a day. hello and welcome to focus on europe with me liz show germany is currently witnessing a record number of people quitting the catholic church one of the reasons is reports of children being sexually abused by clerics there is a lot of outrage in the ark diocese of cologne which is one of the largest diocese in germany for months that the arc bishop o'brien

a matter of the key refused to publish our reports on past child sexual abuse but commissioned a 2nd report many are accusing him of a cover up for a lot of people are very key is handling all the scandal in cologne is a symbol of how slowly and reluctantly the catholic church deals with sexual abuse accusations the secrecy is especially painful for survivors like how kit he was abused by a priest when he was a young boy now he and others are calling for justice a brief warning to some of our viewers that they may find parts of the report disturbing. my tutor come off to do it i took a mentor would often come to my bed in the late hours of the evening could. or in early morning hours to stroke me. i was about 12. 5 to enter the room.

and be told to drop my trousers and bend over the desk of an organ. was. opposite me on the wall. and then it began. come on. all orifices of my young body were abused. you know mainly shook up and so beaten. carl how endured 3 years of sexual abuse at the hands of a catholic priest while at boarding school during the 1960 s. . what they said was true. because they were ordained. and acting in the name of god. is often therefore think of the abuse i suffered as a product of the catholic church. the told me spall. carl how they once the church to be transparent about the past when rana maria

vokey became the archbishop of cologne several years ago he was hopeful the cardinal had vowed to address the church's history of sexual abuse is the syndic. but when vokey learned of sexual abuse accusations against a priest close to him he failed to inform rome and to report investigating sexual abuse in his diocese was not published instead a 2nd study was commissioned many german catholics left the church an outrage vokey realized his mistake and expressed remorse. i made mistakes in my handling of the abuse investigation as well as the related crisis management. i am certainly guilty in this respect for this us i am deeply sorry on how light. many german catholics however want to see real

accountability and change mariana on to the parish office there in one of colognes poor neighborhoods. she has been fighting the catholic church's patriarchal structure with broad support from her base. to the cindy lytle the church leadership must end this uncontrolled unreflected an unchecked abuse of power. perplexed many people are asking themselves what these church leaders are talking about us. and why should i listen to them and they either a voyage talking about the issues that matter to was or talk in a way that we don't understand and countries relate to because it has fallen out of time. this flowed outside cologne cathedral marks germany's catholic priests carl howe like many others has had enough of the church covering up its sexual abuse scandals he says it must finally own up to the past.

yes there were and still are perpetrators among iraq's no these are not isolated cases this is systemic yes with the church protect the perpetrators not the victims. experts on religious law say that in the catholic church power has been concentrated in too few hands for too long. first unfair from that so that became a problem in the context of investigating cases of sexual violence it was up to individual bishops to decide whether and if so how to investigate cases and whether they were serious enough to warrant an intervention. in an effort to end sexual abuse in the church pope francis declared in $29000.00 that all allegations must be reported by clergy but only internally this does not however

mean cases are also brought to court. judge. government's representative for abuse set up an inquiry committee with the catholic church to get to the bottom of this scandal. is not is like of clarity surrounding the clone case has of course again undermined trust and that also impacts ongoing investigations in other diocese of vital in unknown abuse to more. vet sure she won stormers sexual abuse victims to participate in the investigation but carl how care has decided to stop cooperating the fact that the report wasn't published and the way former abuse dictums have been treated has triggered too many painful memories for him. it was a thought the always for corn deserve. this feels like

a repeat of the past on an ordained mando something to you and cancer will for good us days to that's what it feels like kings. or you're standing there was shaking and sweating and recall how you were ranked in the flag of article. those who covered up the abuse for decades could soon be held to account the 2nd report ordered by the archbishop of cologne will be published this month it's expected to reveal the names of those responsible. over the last years many african migrants looking for a better life in europe have fled to the cannery islands the islands are spanish territory but geographically they are much closer to west africa than to the european mainland many migrants arriving here want to travel on to other parts of europe but strict rules make it's almost impossible for them to leave and as the

number of migrants on the islands grows so does the discontent among locals. this pose carry 20 refugees 200 kilometers across the atlantic ocean from morocco to the spanish island of gran canaria. us and his friends took the same route but instead of staying in the camp they're sleeping in a truck trailer. they've been on the island for 4 marie de laski there where is the source of. the canary islands has seen an influx of african migrants and refugees most of whom are from morocco. uli arrived they had to state sponsored camps but many quickly move on. felix alfonzo does volunteer work and assists us pumice for a residence he has now also working with a growing number of migrants and refugees. then there's a double here or not that's it for them the holding company is like

a prison so they leave. their names to reach continental europe. many try to board ships so they think they'll have better opportunities out there. but up with it so used to be. refugees in the camp are feeling increasingly threatening like in the schoolyard hate speech is rampant on social media and there have been several protests by locals in the for the refugees filmed one demonstration which reportedly escalated with a phone. when. they do it right. through they shout it they would come in and burn everything down and threw rocks. were born very even through little fireworks. those people are horrible.

manalo santiago was among the protesters he lives close by and the native canary island there is particularly troubled by the many moroccans arriving. but he stresses that he has always remained peaceful. look on i don't know get him or you know him we canaries don't want hordes of people poorly coming for a visit is no problem but not staying on the island we have our own lives here and i respect these people but there are a lot of conflicts all of the good old film we go through to deal with the police have not said that the refugees are leading to higher crime rates residents tempers have heated up during the pandemic they have been experiencing their own hardships . how many people have lost their jobs in apartments and things people get everything is the government's fault so it's up to the governments to send them

away. alphonso has been hearing comments like these more and more often as he distributes food to those in need some locals are resentful of the rising numbers of migrants waiting in line for free food. felix alfonzo tries to keep the peace thought we were busy focusing on other problems and trying to improve the situation in this neighborhood now all of that's hostage taker backseats while we deal with migration. if that these days there are so many mouths to feed that food sometimes runs out and some go. angry but i'm going to put on him for me it's a problem they're giving us less and less food because more and more people from elsewhere are coming and. the tourism sector has also been protesting. many people's livelihoods are at stake and the industry is desperate for every guest during the pandemic. supplies bars and

restaurants with coffee and he fears the refugee situation could scare away paying guests probably for you the futurists who do come see the situation is bad for our image if they notice how refugees are being handled well what i mean why doesn't the spanish government allow more refugees onto the mainland and could repatriations be sped up despite cove it. we wrote to the spanish ministry of the interior to ask these questions but we didn't receive a response. like many people here felix alfonzo from the neighborhood association is disappointed but not surprised by the radio silence from faraway madrid. but he thinks their strategy could succeed in the long run. the federal government wants to make things hard for refugees and show them the canary islands aren't

a convenient stepping stone for entry you're at the border but in the end we're footing the bill by our block of the city along with the refugees 23000 arrived in the canary islands last year nearly 8 times as many as the year before and the boats keep coming. whereas they'll in the middle of the cold with 19 pandemic and many people have been working from home for a year now in the british town of rossendale one woman had a brilliant idea for making ritual meetings more exciting she is inviting special guests to. video conferences goats and wherever these animals so while they are sure to turn even monday team called into fun experiences. mccarthy and her border collie bring home the flock she keeps a sheep and goats on her farm in rossendale normally school classes and wedding

parties visit the picturesque venue in lancashire england bringing dot and i'm just in her income. but the pandemic has put a stop to that we started selling when you know everyone was gardening during covariant out in the gardens and stuff so we saw a lot about 2 and a half tons of in a day but we don't have a day guess i'm sure when. i was very. after. but then she got another idea. and it's probably no coincidence that her cell phone helps make it possible. besides her to meet sheep up in the hills don't also keep some friendly goats down in the farmyard. what about this why don't we offer that you can hire go to prank you want me to like a ridiculous crazy i was like yeah it is stupid as you know it's

a silly idea you can choose which one evening last april she went and did it anyway she posted a couple of photos on her home page and i got up in the morning and mobile had all these missed calls were measures like what have you done i've got like so many people in may they may what's going on had like 200 e-mails i went out from people who wanted to but. since then the goats barn is being used as a film studio. this is a business video called the boss has a surprise in store also taking part below right is margaret only the boss and this is the joke. it only costs around 6 euros to have margaret's take part in a call. i don't understand i'm confused. do you in. our chat.

dots goads have taken part in over $10000.00 meetings so far all around the globe and not just for a short 5 minutes of fun. jenny lives away scotland has made it harder for her to keep in touch with her family her sister lives in wales and her mother in law and then. phone calls had to be going to feel repetitive. now the family has weekly video chats featuring go to margins and all of that has changed. we have a good talk and chat we'll catch the show there in just a good wait stay contact make sure that he's ok it kind of brings us together there is a bit beyond just takes in light of the grim reality of life. in

london the triplets monica and kayla practice their gymnastics it helps them to stay limber as the monks at home pass here to an unusual guest drops by. he might not be able to join in the exercises. but he's an attention getter all the same. my favorite animal used to be it is just the baby over like greedy he don't really like them you don't really self. think being into the former and then some. such contact to the outside world can also far the girl's imagination we don't have the opportunity not to go to a farm or to a see so we can see the animals and you know most people believe that their animals out there are a few sick so it's think they calming and the kids love it back and rosendale

dot is delighted with her goats unexpected popularity but she harbors no illusions about the future i definitely think once upon a time it is over now go or fly from that position of back to. but i don't have outlined what those words might take some readjusting in the barn when the voices of laughter fall silent once more. our next story is far less idyllic it takes us to the russian town of kissimmee in one a rush largest coal mining regions the area of course but supplies around 60 percent of the country's coal and it's also known as russia's black heart the air quality even is among the worst in russia in fact things have gotten so bad that even the snow has changed its color.

this. snow but this isn't any old snow underneath there is a substance that looks like black marble but it's actually black snow that's fallen from the sky. and his garden leaving a palette of black gray and white. sometimes the burnt. my face with while i work gets 30. millions of tonnes of coal have come out of the ground in the district dating back to the 1920 s. . mainly used in the metals industry. the basis of the local economy and its biggest problem when there is no winter the smoke is so bad that

it's difficult to breathe according to locals and your study found that as many people died of a respiratory disease. as in the rest of russia. vitaly and his neighbors have had enough of life here a year and a half ago they made a video of the black snow and asked the canadian government for silence. we have children and we don't want them to get cancer from the polluted environment . the most amazing thing was that the canadian prime minister who is very very far away reacted faster to her video for her own officials. the authorities here ignored as at 1st and then later our governor accused us of being traitors to the homeland and to the cool spots region. almost

half of russia's industrial waste comes from this region. 86000 presidents are among the worst affected. a large amount of coal byproducts create toxic flammable and radioactive waste. we ask the governor of us to comment on the activist accusations the author told us they're doing everything they can to minimize the effect of environmental pollution on people here including by resettling them and by providing coal companies with modern air filtration systems. but locals here say they haven't noticed any of that according to a journalist and environmental activist natalie our supernova for years now she has been calling for action from the author. she recorded the video message from people in the canadian government but the video made headlines across russia.

and says the local police have been trying to intimidate her ever since. of course i'm scared but in this current situation i'm not only afraid for my own safety and the safety of my family but also of a horrible incurable disease i could get because of the bad air i'm even more afraid for my health than of the police or the authorities. wish. to apply to register. doesn't believe the governor of us wants things to change either instead he wants to leave. but it's not so easy. house in an instant but it's impossible you can get rid of an apartment with an entire house i've been trying for 2 years but only 2 people have responded in fact the whole time.

the government recently announced an increase in the coal production here to help make up for falling prices. a dark day for vitali. and his neighbors. and the pressure on the journalist. we just saw has increased she has now gone undercover we next take you to the northern part of europe where there still is plenty of white snow it offers the perfect landscape for those who love to ski but now because of the cold 19 pandemic skiing has gotten a lot more complicated and secularly in the kalen sports center which lies right on the swedish norwegian border covered jurisdictions have led to some rather peculiar safety measures. up until recently norwegians and swedes maintained the cross-country ski trails at the kulin sports center together now there's swedish

part is off limits to norwegian hons einar say. he has to hand the snow groomer over to torah baghlan so torah can take care of the swedish side. maybe it would be smaller for one person. you can't infect anyone sitting in the cab after but we're not allowed to cross the border. as bureaucrats in oslo in stockholm think in less practical terms einar in torah have to disinfect the vehicle each time they switch it's one of several restrictions complicating winter sports for both norwegians and swedes in this area on the border during corona. we can't go into the changing and training rooms on the norwegian side anymore we have to stay indoors but that's better during corona anyway. since

2007 ski clubs in norway and top sports in sweden joined forces to manage the ski area with its 6 kilometers of tracks now skiers on both sides have to turn around at the border. i think it's stupid most of the ski area lies in sweden. our part here is not about break. but generally speaking people here are relaxed about the restrictions even if one venue has had to close. we have only hope we have a little ski jump here this year in norway when you take off and this weekend when you landed but now we're here to take it off and so coronavirus has even clipped the wings of the norwegian and swedish skiers. and that's it for this 6 edition i'll vocus on europe thank you so much for your company please join us

again next week until then take care and going back.
