sponsible. a major source of reliable income. next on. what secret supply be swapped. to discover new adventures in 360 degree. and explore. sites. w world heritage 360. now. 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 at the ark bishop of dynamite he of that he 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 summarise viewers that they may find parts of the report disturbing. my tutor come off to do just that i took a mentor would often come to my bed in the late hours of the evening for it. or in

early morning to stroke me. i was about 12. 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. young men to show up at so beaten a. coral helped their endured 3 years of sexual abuse at the hands of a catholic priest while at boarding school during the 1960 s. . and. it was true i because they were ordained. and acting in the name of god. and therefore think of the abuse i suffered as

a product of the catholic church. cut told me spall. girl 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. 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 wilkie realized his mistake and expressed remorse. i made mistakes in my handling of the abuse investigation as well as the related crisis management secure i am certainly guilty in this respect for this us i am deeply sorry

funhouse night. many german catholics however want to see real accountability and change mariana aren't is a parish officer in one of colognes poorer neighborhoods. she has been fighting the catholic church's patriarchal structure with broad support from her base. till the symbol i took the church leadership must end this uncontrolled unreflected an unchecked abuse of power the full. text of many people are asking themselves what these church leaders are talking about us. and why should i listen to them when 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 float 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 now these are not isolated cases this is systemic yes we the church protected the perpetrators not the victims. experts on religious law say that in the catholic church power has been concentrated into a few hands for too long. first in fairfax 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 intervention. in an effort to end

sexual abuse in the church pope francis declared in 2019 that all allegations must be reported by clergy but only internally this does not however mean cases are also brought to court. did. german government's representative for abuse set up an inquiry committee with the catholic church to get to the bottom of the scandal. it's not really 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. the church one 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 victims have been treated has triggered too many painful memories for him. to share his approach to

the always rocor one deserve. this feels like a repeat of the past on an ordained man does something to you and cancer will for good us that's what it feels like kings. just standing there was shaking and sweating and recall how you were ranked on the flag of article for. 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 have 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 almost impossible for them to leave and as the number of migrants on the islands grows so does the discontent among locals. this post carried 20 refugees 200 kilometers across the atlantic ocean from morocco to the spanish island of gran canaria. yawns and his friends took the same route but instead of staying in the camp they are sleeping in a truck trailer. they've been on the island for 4 months and want to leave. if we put it we want to get we're just being for our eternity and bridgette general money every day i think there is the source of. the canary islands has seen an influx of african migrants and refugees most of whom are from morocco. uni

arrived they had to state sponsored camps but many quickly move on. felix alfonzo does volunteer work and assist les paul most horror residents he is now also working with a growing number of migrants and refugees. then there's an. order for them the holding income to is like a prison so they leave. their names to reach continental europe. with and many try to board ships so i think i'll have better opportunities out there. but up all the . 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 low . goes out with the refugees filmed one demonstration which reportedly escalated with a phone. it. didn't really. matter

they do it right. through on because they shouted they would come in and burn everything down and threw rocks. a long war record of the even through little fireworks since. those people are horrible. 13 people. manalo senshi ak i was among the protesters he lives close by and the native canary islander 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 can areas you don't want hordes of people pointing you 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 that but a good old film we go through to deal with it although 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 and apartments and yet these people get everything that is the government's fault so it's up to the governments to send them away. the cell phones are 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. we were busy focusing on other problems and trying to improve the situation in this neighborhood now all of that's hostage taker backseats well. we deal with migration . these days there are so many mouths to feed that food sometimes runs out and some go hungry but i'm still proud of them for me it's

a problem they're giving us less and less food because more and more people from elsewhere are coming and that's what. 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 pain guests. for you the future is who do come see the situation is bad for our image if they noticed how refugees are being handled what i mean why doesn't the spanish government allow more refugees onto the mainland and could repatriations be sped up despite that. 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 in europe. but in the end we're footing the bill by our blood. 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 0 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 what they are sure

to turn even monday in team calls 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 dutch income. but the pandemic has put a stop to that we started selling the neo so everyone was gardening during covariant out in the gardens and stuff so we saw once about 2 and a half tons of in a day but we don't have a digger i'm sure when also i was very. after that. but then she got another idea. and it's probably no coincidence that her cell phone

helps make it possible. besides her timid sheep up in the hills don't also keep some friendly goats down in the farmyard. what about this why don't we. get higher go to prank you work me like a ridiculous crazy i was like yeah that is stupid you know it's a silly idea you can too much 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 i am a lot always missed calls were measures i want to be done i've got like so many people in may they may what's going to have like 200 emails overnight from people who wanted to. 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's only the boss

visited on the job. it only costs around 6 euros to have margaret's take part in a call. i don't understand confuses. so you were. watched bad. thoughts good stuff taken part in over 10000 meetings so far all around the globe and not just for a short 5 minutes of fun. jenny lives away scotland lockdown 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 up the show there in just a good way to stay contact make sure he's ok it kind of brings us together there is a bit beyond just takes you night 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 davy jones i'm greedy and they're all really like them you don't really so. think can be into the former and then sell.

such contacts to the outside world can also far the girls imagination we don't have the opportunity not to go to a farm or to and see so we can see the animals and you know most people believe that their animals that they are actually sick so it's take that calming and the kids love boats back and wasn't dale dot is delighted with her goats unexpected popularity but she harbors no illusions about the future i definitely think once upon a time it was over the go or fly from that position of back to the well i did but i don't rebel and. those who would take some readjusting in the barn with 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 is among the worst in russia in fact things have gotten so bad that even the snow has changed its color. but this isn't any old snow underneath there is a substance that looks like black marble but it's actually black snow with that's fallen from. coal dust. and his garden leaving a palette of black grey and white. sometimes the doors to so burnt. my face with one i work gets dirty.

in. millions of tons of coal have come out of the ground in the district dating back to the 1920. mainly used in industry. the basis of the local economy and its biggest problem when if there is no end to the smoke is so bad that it's difficult to breathe according to law. 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 after the canadian government for silent. you mean you know 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 their homeland and to the 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 griot toxic flammable and ready to active waste. we ask the governor of bus to comment on the activist accusations they also told us they are 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 natalee are supernova for years now she has been calling for action from the author who says she recalled a 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. moved on the shoot 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 the 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. vitaly doesn't believe the governor or boss 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 us 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. in the kalends 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 the swedish part is off limits to norwegian hans einar sitra he has to hand the snow groomer over to torah bag 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 isn't all that break. but generally speaking people here are relaxed about the restrictions even if one venue has had to close. here.

and this week. but now. and so corona virus has even clipped the wings of the norwegian and swedish skiers. and that's it for this exhibit and i'll focus on europe thank you so much for your company please join us again next week until then take care and good back to you.
