thank you because that money that we could use and i have serious problems on a personal level and i was unable to live there or to let him get to. you want to know their story the rich are fighting and arguing from ignorance. hello and welcome to focus on europe show great to have your company and insist scandal is rocking france at the moment on social media countless adults are using the hash tag me to insist to share how they were sexually abused as children by family members these revelations were prompted by an unusual book in her

publication author come equipped now is accusing her stepfather of sexually abusing her brother for years the fact that her stepfather is a prominent intellectual has heated up the debate even more. this man of all malemute also suffered abuse in his own family is one of many in france a recent study shows that in an average class of 6 graders 10 percent of very likely to be insists victims many keep that secret for years just like lumia now he's ready to tell his story it shows how sexual violence against children takes place even in the supposedly best of families. we were 3 brothers and all of those were affected we never talked about it and then others knew the others were experiencing the same. model it was

a kid like many others he had 2 brothers and a sister his father was a teacher and his mother worked at a radio station. lived with his family in an apartment in paris outwardly a seemingly normal life but the crimes that took place in the family home haunt the actor to this day. i know i did and the 1st time it happened i was 7 years old i was in bed early because i was a child you know when my father lay down beside me and showed me his penis. he asked me to masturbate him and i was only 7 years old i didn't know whether that was normal or not. it was in him but. back then mom and his 2 brothers were regularly raped by their father their mother was blind to the sexual abuse that was taking place behind the facade of their normal middle class life. i felt completely betrayed by the 2 people in the world i trusted the most. when your father and mother betray you

it means no where in this world is really safe anymore. you know you always have the feeling you're standing on quicksand. but. according to a poll conducted by the market research and consulting firm i p s o s and 2021 in 10 french children have been the victim of sexual abuse by a family member but many suppressed the memory it took years for me to remember the terrible thing that happened to her when she was 5. back then she spent a day alone with her relatives at the family's house in the country. she says it was the worst day of her life. her relative pretended that he was going to teach her how to ride a bike and raped her. with a pointed thought. when i was 37 years old i suffered an emotional shock and suddenly the memories came flooding back in incredible detail. it was like having

a camera at a child's eye level i saw the aggressor his jewelry his underwear. his who bit more difficult me you call your mother has now found drawings she did following assault a girl crying all secure which means help a snake and then nice symbols of the attack and time and again a man with a mustache at the time no one questioned why me a call he was drawing these things. here her mom there's really a paradox in france. the french place a lot of importance on family values and yet paradoxically they destroy the social values by making it taboo to talk about sexual abuse. it's like a code of silence in the mafia so that everyone abide by pulled it off. the unique oyama now heads of french association for victims of sexual abuse it advocates

there should be. no statute of limitations for such crimes that way perpetrators can't simply get off scot free if their victims take decades to come forward all mahlum year has also broken his silence in january 2021 when he saw the hash tag me to incest on twitter he wrote right away me too from age 7 to 14. to this day home on time yes still finds his father's actions in comprehensible because he was also a loving dad who cared for his children well even now almost struggles to find an explanation. if my father were 20 years old today. he probably be openly bisexual. or 3 he might have children with it but he could satisfy his needs another way nuku me. that was impossible for my father back then coming from a poor. catholic background and bored with the. years

later his sister found out about the abuse and informed the school authorities their father then took his own life hamas spent years in therapy. by the scheme i told my girlfriend everything that happened to me. is unimaginable not to. live with you that's why i'm extremely optimistic. and the world is changing and i things like this shouldn't happen as easily. be less likely to happen a toll. today is among them yet doesn't much care what the rest of his family thinks of him speaking so openly about the terrible past he says too many people are still remaining silent.

on this. france now wants to increase protection for minors against sexual predators and new law is expected to be passed in the coming months. don't secured little dogs like bees make you wants to cuddle them right away well the business with puppies is booming here in europe especially now with contract restrictions many people are getting themselves pets to fight loneliness and isolation bugs have breeding pets can be a shady business in a number of countries in southern europe dogs are bred illegally those that can't be sold are sometimes this posed of at garbage sites our reporter got an inside look into this brutal sector in bulgaria and serbia. a morning in serbia such a place which is on the lookout for puppies his mission to save their lives we accompanied him for a day. in

a matter of minutes there are stray dogs everywhere is nothing unusual such a point say 90 percent of them originated from illegal breeding farms social news most of the dogs and the time. you have out of the family so i can only take in puppies or dogs in really bad shape if their lives are in danger i just don't have enough for the purpose of the i like to help them all but i don't have the means or . i would never wish you. a few weeks before sasha recorded these images on his move i'll soon. be fighting these puppies by a garbage dump. session says they were abandoned because they were mixed breed rejects to the breeders without him they would starve to death. just. 150 kilometers further east in syfy of all the area where the puppy tree is also booming officially 20 breeding farms are registered in bulgaria there are many more

illegal ones by far and internet search reveals that bulky rain dealers offer sizes of puppies for sale each day most of them destined for buyers in germany says matt dillon opinion of the animal welfare organization for paws that's. where they fetch the highest prices but the puppies are taken from their mothers too early in violation of animal welfare laws. later in the pub these have little real immunity. and they don't get the inoculations they need so they won't catch diseases. such as that's a serious problem. combating the dog mafia can be dangerous animal rights activists recorded these images in the legal breeding farm with a hidden camera and investigation was only launched after they reported it to the authorities. we tried to get one of the few registered breeders to talk to us about the business but number yet willing. to serve. it

says the dark side of the poppy tree lurks behind this gate. he's taken in some 800 dogs here over the past few years. he takes care of them with the needed funds and help from a belgian on a welfare organization and finds homes for them with animal lovers. every dog that finds a new home in belgium through a registered voter organization must have an entire body tighter test and in 90 days dogs can ensure that you completely legally. and i can bug area and insight you. at the end of april and a new law will take effect here mrs woodley registered animals to be sold. as a few that's an area and dimitar you know ski slopes the new law will help but he doesn't really put much faith in it he explains the dog mafia uses all the tricks of the

trade off and forging documents and chips with a veterinarian help he's even found his own name on such papers the black market dealers at fortune's stamp and signature to sell a puppy. it was determined that the dog had come from serbia one of the principal sources for the trade because it's not in the e.u. when the trail leads there are no further action can be taken on the particular trip finally an official greeter recruit to talk to us reading is a sideline for vince's last duchess. he concentrates on training dogs and follows strict regulations his animals are in demand this therapy dogs are for movie and television shoots. and says the responsibility lies with the buyers if they want a dog they have to knew exactly where it comes from i knew the dogs cost time and

money. supply for every compromise the buyer makes the animal loses quality it's not up to me to make these demands but if we're going to get the tree under control there must be more checks. in the evening in serbia sascha passage by screwed for the dogs on his farm. he spends $1000.00 euros a month and dogs who don't learn. couldn't manage without the donations but he says he will be able to keep it up much longer he's afraid the numbers of street puppies will only rise and the illegal breeders from bulgaria will move their operations to serbia where they fear neither laws nor checks the might interfere with the lucrative illegal trade in poppies. we're now introduce you to a small town in finland it's called salah and it has applied to host the olympic games in 2032 this candidacy is quite unusual because the games in 2032 are summer

olympics and yet it is one of the coldest places in finland now this may sound like a joke to some but there is a serious message behind this campaign climate change is affecting the lives of residents like timor to harm the olympic bid is an attempt to create awareness. a skier in shorts races along the icy track pulled by a reindeer the video clip is a humorous advertisement to stage the olympic summer games in sala northern finland . the reindeer driver in the video is chemo too hot he says it was great fun but the video comes with a message climate change means winters in his homeland are no longer as cold as they used to be. normally it would have been told at 1st comes the below 0 degrees on the river and creeks they freeze and then really get the snow on top but

now there's 3 enter the large 3 interweave got like 20 or 30 centimeters of snow. on frozen land. every morning t.-mo to house still checks his most valuable reindeer the ones that pull a sleigh tourists to come to sala love the sleigh rides so the attraction is a good earner solid claims to be the coldest place in finland. aside from reading reindeer 3000 residents make their living from tourism and selling wood from their forests. the visitors appreciate that they can ski here as late as may for the time being at least. but to hack and pack up the sleighs if the winters get warmer here. climate change could even keep the summer visitors away. and last time i was guiding middle european people in summertime the reason why

they came to love london summer was that it was too hot in in germany in the netherlands and they said that the hour plus 30 plus 40 is just too much so they decided to go to the arctic where plus 15 plus 20th just perfect for the summer so yeah that's how i would like to keep things are they definitely don't want it to get is warm as it does for the summer olympic games despite the fact that in this tongue in cheek video they're playing volleyball in the snow and swimming in the ice. and scientists are confirming salo isn't all that cold anymore climate researcher to cut of the university of helsinki has a research station near sala your choice he says in northern finland climate change has reached crisis level the arctic areas in general general are warming faster than the the global average so even double the global average so this would mean

if we talk about 1.5 global average that would transfer 2 to 33 to 4 increase. in the in the arctic areas so a decent considerable and very serious issue. salas mayor says they broadcast the seriousness of the situation effectively to the whole world with their sumo wrestling pick at it attracted a lot of interest on line people discuss about it. i'm quite sure that the discussion goes on. then. we want all sorts of people. share what they have done. while tourist guide to how worries about the effects of climate change in the future reindeer herder. has to deal with them here and now. she and her 2 children regularly

have to take extra fodder out to their herd a direct result of climate change. in a time when there is snow and sand comes raining water and then comes freezing time so face ice on the snow and the rain they can't have any fault on the ice without the expense of storebought fodder the reindeer would go hungry and nina much would have to move her family and livestock somewhere else or give up hurting reindeer her son i know has just begun learning how to throw a lasso and care has been 100 years. living like this and i hope very sure future for our children everyone in the chilly

little town of sala in northern finland hopes there is a future for them here. but without the summer olympics. the spanish city of that i go has had its share of deadly diseases in the past the plague the spanish flu and now at 19 for more than 7 centuries a special group of men has been helping out when such disasters hit the brotherhood of the blood of christ they blessed and bird people giving them dignity and time of death is that is one of the brothers that he currently has a lot to do due to the pendent make. it's early morning in the spanish city of san. pasqual is collecting a body for an autopsy. someone has died after falling from a window. i mean one of the bodies in

a public place so we have to hurry up because they need to open the street again. let's see what awaits us going to the front of the design is a member of the catholic brother who took all the blood of christ since the middle ages they have collected dead bodies here in south dakota when someone dies of unknown causes and by judicial order. he is proud of his volunteer work. the same broken government hold out the fight over the it has to be done when it's all over that's when the feelings of along with it but now i've got to go to work you need a thick skin and you have to know what you're doing it for the book is. going to get. the man fell from the each floor is act suspect suicide perhaps as a result of the karuna pandemic because it's not just the virus that kills desperation drives many to take their own lives. i don't know mental or got it from

people all year long we've had more suicides nobody is really prepared for a lockdown like this one it affects your psyche. he got up and when someone is already suffering from mental illness is the final straw for people who go look here's a photo. of brotherhood like the blood of christ in the takes care of corpses is the only one of its kind left in spain in the last year the brothers were called out more than $500.00 times the tradition dates back to the plea in the 13th century then there was the spanish flu and now it's corona and hundreds of people were dying at the start of the content mick the brothers even had to help undertakers collect the dead. death and disease are a fact of life for the 48 devout men in the brotherhood thank nescio good men and. then as now many people still feel panic. if we're going to have work or prefer not

working with anyone i can in fact anytime anywhere but we're losing control of where he says people that you're looking for some even keep away from the other people who have long recovered from a covert infection. we're told we see that all the time it will be stigmatized out of nothing out of us. if nancy has had couvade himself he's recovered not his evil to do the voluntary work again. but the sickness has left its mark. i was in hospital on a covert hayward for a week and there are people who don't survive it if the young and old it gets to the people who are not affected emotionally or must be very consistent if there were dozens if you're looking at them are. many died a loon relatives weren't even allowed to attend burials. nobody.

died of corona in a home for the elderly. or similar feel we loved her so much of course we would have said goodbye to her after she died but we weren't allowed to because she lived in another province and the borders were closed yet and yet it would have really helped me to go there and say auntie i love you. brother is confronted with loneliness and death almost every day he's a male nurse and has also worked in a karuna ward. from the look of a movie it's harder because that's the problem you can't really process a death in mourning to. formal. board of one of. his own called with a brotherhood for a whole week to collect the deceased. he calls over 10 times on average at any time

of day or night but he feels it's a vocation thing when they're going to i'm not planning on stopping you i'll do it as long as i can hopefully for the rest of my life but if it will be. as always he has to deliver the body to the forensic institute in south dakota. then his work is done but the feet of the deceased will long occupy his thoughts. air travel is a real climate killer we all know that by now but what if we can one day travel to sunny far off this in nations without blowing too much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere well in slovenia we get a glimpse of how environmental protection and air travel may go hand in hand it's a clear electric and a pretty quiet solution. this is what it sounds like when an electric powered plane prepares for takeoff. airborne in

a 2 seater light aircraft from slovenian manufacture a piece trail that runs solely on electricity the pilot explains that the plane is as quiet as a vacuum cleaner. right from the start he had the feeling this aircraft would change everything it uses just 110th of the energy of a conventional plane. what we're witnessing here is a revolution in aviation this is the 1st fully electric plane to be certified by the e.u.'s aviation safety agency after a challenging decade in development it's a triumph for pippy style founder evil by scott all it has been compared to tesla's elan musk. after the piece from engine and jet penguin the new milestone on the. electric grid properties proven to be safe is beyond the propulsion for so this is open the plane is powered by a battery which could destroy also developed that was the engineers biggest

challenge because the goal is to power bigger planes and increase their range so eventually even international flights could become more environmentally friendly. 0 emission flying does not mean flying on battery power alone hydrogen as a fuel source is an opportunity to fly with 0 emissions also super long distance i think we can look forward to 1000 kilometer flights in the new. decade and simply transferring those 2 prongs oceanic peace trail is now working on a hybrid solution a combined electric and hydrogen powered aircraft because the aviation industry knows the aircraft of the future must be greener and quieter it's far less noisy it's far. less complex thought for it so start up the engine like you're starting up a home appliance in your kitchen flying over slovenia and this trailblazing electric

plane is a revolutionary but totally relaxing experience. that's it for this week we'll have more stories from across europe next time until then take care and get back. to. come on. the a. guy
