it would look great. in the form of being paid. for we are yours actually on fire. everyone welcome to focus on europe it is nice to have you here with me we're starting today in the southern part of italy which is known for its beaches its food its beautiful architecture and unfortunately for its mafia for example naples at mount vesuvius with its historic buildings and alleyways is dominated by a powerful mafia clan called the camorra once it gets dark these criminal gangs
11:31 pm
keep the police busy as they do their bosses bidding. for the young or the unemployed in naples the idea of making some quick cash by doing the mafia's dirty work can prove to be irresistible but the decision to join can prove to be a fatal one as it was for a young man named lugo russo now though a controversial mural of to go is causing a stir in naples with some seeing it as a mockery of the victims. a moped stops in front of a convenience store a robber wearing a helmet and a face mask enters and threatens the cashier with a gun to extort a watch for money. many young criminals think it is simple and easy. but then a plain clothes policeman or a car opinion witnesses the robbery and it ends with deadly consequences. 15 year old little roscoe died when a military policeman opened. fire on him in the middle of the night in the elegant
11:32 pm
heart of naples. your soul son my son was murdered he was shot twice in the chest and once in the back of his head you get all these. google results father and his youngest son stand in front of a huge mural that dominates a small square in the spanish quarter. it is an image of who goes staring at his family and neighbors demanding truth and justice. the fact that google committed an armed robbery is not spoken of here. many approve of his mural and complain about police violence and slow investigations they claim that the legal proceedings against the military policeman never really started. there for the russo family is receiving more and more support also from those who demand clarification as well as more solidarity between the rich and the poor in naples one 3rd of the prevailing
11:33 pm
mentality in the city is to each his due there is no social solidarity the rich remain rich are you the point remains for me to be for the youth who commits a crime should be shot it's his own fault who should know. who goes father who has been known to the police since adolescence also believes this to be true no wonder you nobody in the city genuinely wants to know why such robberies occur why these young people do such things. they just want to destroy us to trample us like vermin . we visit another neighborhood with another mural this one commemorates 17 year old luigi chaos with candles in an altar. last october he too was shot dead by a policeman in civilian clothes whilst committing a robbery. meanwhile the merrill has been removed by the police criminals. should
11:34 pm
not be glorified the reaction in the neighborhood is aggressive people are angry at the state they're young criminals portrayed as saints religious worship within the kemar of naples mafia is well known to priest luigi maryla he has been fighting against it for 20 years make you know such are hurting up a picture of someone who committed a robbery. or is the boss of a clan. and worshipping like a saint sends a very bad message. has it that bad would become a good start by john. no that's not true at all you marty said. the priest works against these illegal demonstrations of power and has also been threatened. however behind high walls he continues to do you support now during the pandemic he helps youths with homework on line and in normal times with recreational activities. families hit particularly hard by the pandemic receiving
11:35 pm
aid to stop the next generation from getting further involved in criminal activity on the go when you've got to. know every neighborhood has its clan boss but most of these bosses are now in prison you're not going to many young people take advantage of this they form gangs that fight each other. this increases violence because the actual boss has lost control and can no longer maintain order in the neighborhood like before a problem it could all be in a. pose in addition the characters of popular mafia series become real role models for many young people. experts say this increases rivalry and the readiness for violence in the streets. the length of the moment they leave it up to death that violence is justified so to speak as the state
11:36 pm
doesn't intervene. because young men get there is a lack of perspective from police or prosecutors which makes the criminals feel they can get away with anything. without being arrested prosecuted or held responsible. go home. but perhaps times are changing because more and more people in naples are calling for the image of google russo to be removed if teen year old small time crook is no saint no god like the god of soccer a few streets away. only diego armando marathoner the deceased idol who once played for s.s.e. naples. unite the city and maybe worship like a saint by good and evil alike. wouldn't it be nice if you could just flee the coven 1000 pandemic and head off to
11:37 pm
a secluded island well martin mickos and his wife sandia they actually did that they traded san francisco's hustle and bustle for a small part of an archipelago off the coast of finland in the baltic sea they're now surrounded by trees wild animals and extremely icy waters and they're sharing their pandemic paradise on social media with millions of people around the world. on the edge of the frozen baltic sea lies a small finnish island it is now home to 2 people who are living beyond the reach of the coronavirus. husband and wife sent me a lost and more to me coast love the icy landscape. they spend several hours a day out on the frozen sea. here just for the fun of it i have to big ice floes to see how they react now when it's
11:38 pm
a good thing sunny and warm and how they will e-mail and how they may move around. throughout the winter send your loss in with her drone has shot videos of her husband's activities shoveling snow off the footpaths and searching for open channels. the tweets from their pandemic paradise as they call it in their short videos have gone viral. i just wanted to make people happy because everyone is so sad and miserable because of the pandemic rowing boat than i you thought very mundane in a way but it just shows you that when you are innovative new just take whatever you have and try to make the best of it. the house in the woods was finished just before the outbreak of the cove in 1000 pandemic the couple eat mostly fish they
11:39 pm
catch themselves more locally sourced game morton macos usually runs a technology company in silicon valley california but for months now he's only communicated with his employees over the internet from the wilds of finland it's a totally new work day rhythm for him and not just because of the time difference so in the middle of the night i may go out to just and watch the sky or your feel the fresh air so of course it gives me a good contrast. his wife zenyatta is also hard at work she's a journalist she doesn't miss life in a large american city anymore either she was surprised by the worldwide responses to her twitter account especially the fascination with her husband's efforts to clear away ice flows with his rowboat but the russian media developed an entirely different story from the images they turned it into a couple that a cruise ship stranded on an island they had to get out and the guy you were in to
11:40 pm
say you. are in reality a couple's life is far less sensational as long as the ice holds up they can walk across to their car on the mainland and go shopping in the summer they take their boat they even receive occasional visitors most recently at christmas inside this this is a. dry in place where they dry hay so we came in here christmas day in the morning with us pitch black we have candles with us and small natural light so we went in there and then we sang a few christmas songs which the merry christmas. lawson and make us are well aware that there privileged few people can afford to escape the pandemic like they have but the experiences of the past months have
11:41 pm
shown that people can rediscover themselves during lockdown. you can build your resilience on your own even though we are social creatures we all are also equipped to be on our own that's how evolution has worked so we can be on our own we can be isolated there's always in the world there's things that you have to respect and peer out here we have to respect and fear the fin ice so we don't know when we go out there with the weather we fall in. that fear too can be overcome as because proves at a hole he saw in the ice you just have to be properly equipped in this case with ice picks in an emergency he can use them to rescue himself. exists and then you go. back to safe for ice and get yourself warm and dry the frozen pandemic paradise has many more adventures in store for
11:42 pm
these 2 selves isolators the ice along finland's west coast will soon be gone but sadly it seems the coronavirus pandemic might continue for some time yet. well we are going to stay in the water for just a moment as we head now to britain where fishermen are struggling for their livelihoods as a result of bragg's britain's withdrawal from the european union and all of the rule changes that have come with that have meant that exports to the e.u. have plummeted now in the land that's known for its fish and chips huge stockpiles of shellfish are starting to cause a stink. even the seagulls in with still southern england seem to sense that something's amiss. james green fishes for oysters this big normally be his busy season but there's very little for him to do besides
11:43 pm
check up on his. these are boisterous would normally be destined for the european market but he hasn't sold a single one since january 1st these back if you go all of this area of the phone is now markets are sources we've had to double the bags up here to make space for them so this is where there is probably 100120 tons of market so our sources ready for the continent to market really i'm not entirely sure what to do with them but from our you know there are where can i sell 120 tons of voices in the u.k. to just is not the market. the business is growing. this isn't just a temporary problem for hygiene reasons the european union prohibits the import of life spiny oysters from all dealers in nonie you countries which the u.k. now is. an exception is made for shellfish from very clean waters
11:44 pm
but this area is category b. . whitstable is largely dependent on sales of shellfish oysters mussels and lobsters before breakfast at the cleaning process was taking care of in mainland europe. one solution would be to clean the shellfish hear this for exporting them. graham west is already doing that but only for the domestic british market. for you to do always so we come to see you have to catch it when they move to thank you ted so if you don't do so your. plane coming to the view which we did but it will be so they will know we should. get to work and close to my full day in the sun. once cleaned they could be shipped to the e.u. but the cleaning facility is much too small to handle the hundreds of tons in the
11:45 pm
e.u. clients don't want pretreated oysters. graham west also has well. they have to be boiled to for their exported to asia he can't do that himself so he's always sold them on to distributors but they're also located in the e.u. . he's got all. among the or she could be stopped because of course happening with bricks we can't so anything chlorine. is getting worse and worse to be stuck on the carry these will be stuck in containers and by the time is getting through he looked in the pan this means that he can neither sell to the e.u. nor age at. which simple has been hard hit right now few people in britain are eating oysters or lobster either. the pandemic has closed the restaurants including james green's at least that will eventually come to an end says james but the e.u.'s import ban has eliminated half of his trade virtually overnight permanently
11:46 pm
and that was a blow he did not see coming that wasn't foreseeable from our point of view and the reason why it wasn't foreseeable from our point of hubris because to her were constantly reassuring the industry that tripe would continue after bricks it. but the government in london places the blame for the disaster on the e.u. not itself. but the e.u. had said originally that trade could continue their own laws provide for it to continue and actually refer to a significant it would enable it to continue well they have had a change of policy change and although there is no legal impediment to this trade the european union told us a couple of weeks ago they were going to continue. the e.u. maintains that this is simply untrue. let's be clear there are bigger lation bunning import all these shellfish into the european union was already on the
11:47 pm
table for. which he's to blame east bricks you it's it james screens oyster tanks are empty he's using the time to renovate them. james by the way voted for brecht's it now he sees that as a mistake the government's rhetoric blaming the e.u. for all the u.k. sil's no longer flies with him people say oh it's the beautiful i don't want i don't think that's the reason not to tear it down there for. a new negotiations or the last 3 years that worked for them to degree a lot of proportion of incompetence on their part. so the shellfish industry is among the big losers of brecht's it. and the impact is being felt acutely here in with bill. here in
11:48 pm
europe we are now at the beginning of these 3rd wave of the coronavirus pandemic one of the new variants of the virus the one 1st discovered in britain is more contagious it's more dangerous and it's spreading fast now even if the e.u. had enough vaccines at the moment which it doesn't surveys have shown that europe is the most vaccine skeptic region in the world wonders and belgium though is working to combat those conspiracy theories and to change perceptions of the cove in 1000 vaccines her name is christina rodriguez and in a country where some nursing homes have seen just 30 percent of its staff choose to get vaccinated she's rolling up her sleeves to fight that battle herself. geriatric nurse christina rodriguez wants to encourage others she asks a colleague to take photos of the message look at me i'm getting vaccinated.
11:49 pm
rarely i really hope that i can get other care workers to get vaccinated and my own family and the entire country to. like christina care workers across belgium are trying to convince back scene skeptics to get themselves backs unaided in the french speaking part of the country many belgians still vehemently refused to do so nurse obama as one of them. wanted to do when it comes to medicine you always have to assess the risk even if you can in this case there just hasn't been enough time or not but look you know we've only known this virus for a year now and we hardly know these genetically modified vaccines either if you guessed we are manipulating genetic material we need answers to all the unresolved questions before we can speak of trust us. online obama calls on people to boycott facemasks lockdown measures and above all mass vaccinations and many agree with her more than 50 percent of care workers and privately run nursing homes
11:50 pm
in the french speaking part of belgium in brussels have refused to be vaccinated or the director of this nursing home is one of them. we will only know what side effects the vaccine can have in 20 years time this sort of like buying a new car you feel like it's safe but you would rather wait to see a chrestus 1st your. first vet software the week of the belgian association of private nursing homes is perplexed by this with online campaigns and training courses largely unsuccessful they're considering making backs a nation's mandatory i did not understand i do not understand the it was for them. this so a lot of rape of every people who died there's so the loss of life and it's unbelievable odo's people do not understand that they can protect themselves it's
11:51 pm
a big question but experts say that is also part of the answer traumatic experiences and low wages despite being overworked could have time to care workers into vaccine skeptics. and i had such a sweet situation of distress that when when when when they hear stories of down he's actually using this it's just to to to force you to to get vaccinated and and and and reach does big from acuity care companies i would totally understand why someone would want to believe such a thing and they want to make sense of it and and conspiracy theories are help you make sense of society of what happens to you. on social media these theories are spreading like wildfire somewhere in the back scene is being used to spy on them others say it leads to infertility or even death many of these rumors come from neighboring france where there are many vaccine skeptics in order to get them to
11:52 pm
change their mind the european union is testing the back scenes thoroughly to gain people's trust there was no emergency authorization but movie obama is not convinced it's a back and back so lots of work we're not even told which vaccine we will be getting it's pretty modest but it's our right to know but humans need to consent to being experimented on we need to be able to sign something that says yes i want to be back needed with this vaccine with this technology i can't move at that point as you. move the nursing homes doctor on the other hand argues that the vaccine has been sufficiently tested and that time is of the essence during a pandemic. there's always an open door for the bar is and then it will quickly spread again this could go on for years which is why we will collective efforts we need to distract the nation to be mandatory for everyone if people where read they need to understand the risks posed by the vaccine or in no way comparable to the
11:53 pm
risks of an infection. christina regus agrees she's experienced many tough days in the nursing home today each report that more people are signing up to be vaccinated makes or hopeful for the future but she's convinced that the fight against the virus must be one online too. and to a man now who is battling the pandemic in a very different way as christoph krauss is that the fight against the coronavirus is also a fight against monotony and loneliness ever since the 1st lockdown began here in germany about a year ago he's been doing his best in all kinds of weather to make people's lives just a little bit more positive and at the retirement home in the small town of flint and bag if you can pronounce that one he is very eagerly awaited. every evening everyone you can at this nursing home shows up at their windows or
11:54 pm
the door to listen to this stuff because a plane serenades exactly at 7 pm the 80 year old man starts to play his baritone horn. one. uniform and that's great he is 80 years old and yet he still does this you know. the residents know the 80 year old. he's been volunteering here for years. these regular visits during the pandemic are very dear to him. by the melaka db of we now as i notice that the residents miss affection and want to talk i used to come by every day before the pandemic. nada and so i wanted to create a new connection with the people here but at some wonderful feeling when people
11:55 pm
light up when they see me for who got us this would not be. bad weather does not deter the stuff. he just needs to make sure that the rain does not trickle into his horn. when it rains and i must blow like this. and actually there's never been a good reason not to come one could give to come at the end of his performance these 5 loyal residents await him. and villein august mitt watches from the window is i think it's lovely to have something to look forward to in the evening and then when and if we don't hear him we become very impatient. because i have been playing here since march 29th 2020 and hopes to continue once the coronavirus pandemic is over. and hopefully not too long now until those nursing home residents can finally give him
