nucular searching another military scrap yard for salvageable objects this one's even larger than the 1st he says many german and polish collectors come here to buy war relics. unfortunately nicholas still hasn't come across a tank or the mint because a nickel but i won't give up hope keep searching maybe i'll stumble across a ton somewhere that you had converted into a joint the caution instrument and install it outside somewhere because you need to go back. the day of the trial concert with one guitar player husband shown up. so he gets to play the reimagined kalashnikov rifle. nicholas's he wants to instruments to sound a little off key he's happy they now have a more positive purpose. slovenia

is set to take over the council presidency in july it's a role that involves mediation between member states and sharing meetings pragmatism and a level head are required but european parliament members are sounding the alarm over slovenia's prime minister he is waging a war of words against critical journalists parliamentarian say press freedom and democracy are under attack in slovenia journalist lloyds a passion has been at the receiving end of the prime minister's fury threats and insults have become a routine part of her job. these days journalist mort's a passion conducts most of her interviews outside. the issues on the hill over the slovenian capital you piano her reporting isn't only in that by the pandemic however many the facebook page of the public house offers the cheap services of the washed up prostitutes gania and might see. one for 30 euros the other for 35

years as young as young shit tweeted this in 2016 last year he became slovenia's prime minister i didn't know that how it began and from that march 2016 just explode everything in slovenia after after that tweet because it was like a. point. with a starting point of insulting attacking the person that attacks on journalists in slovenia. the politician was apparently annoyed by a report that passion a colleague could released. went to court about the tweet and young she was sued for defamation. is currently working on a report about the slovenian press agency which has complained about the government's withdrawal of funds it was well both for the trailer. again it all

began early last year. before the agency was accused of producing fake news. much later the attacks got worse and of tobar and we were described as a national disgrace. the guy for 4 months we didn't get a cent for work. courtrai o'clock i think that's the governments would do anything to get this under its political control so the a good c o. d w tried to get an interview with prime minister a young child to discuss these allegations with no success his spokesman was also reticent i have just one question to you about your reaction to the allegations made against your prime minister that he's undermining press freedoms that we. know now coming down don't. you mark on the last will you have it as a media studies professor in europe young critic of the current government and i think that this sort of burst of behavior is also a priority of the problem it is

a part of a problem when a politician does not agree with the standards of european behavior if you call journalists prostitutes if you do these sort of vulgar and aggressive things which were unimaginable in europe 10 years ago then of course we have a wider problem there is growing concern in the e.u.'s institutions about the dangers to press freedom in slovenia european commissioner johansson addressed the issue we have discussed this and of course the freedom on the floor a list of media is the corners are also some new things has happened recently when it comes to the financing. to be in the other place the slovenian interior minister said there's no problem and the agency would get playing up what do you do if you could spot the stuff the riddle of the assured the commissioner that there was absolute press freedom in slovenia. absolutely unsureness could report freely

about anything. that's far more it's a passion hopes despite her negative experiences and the pressures she has faced for years. in. my experiences in 1st place that you are a little bit that this is a depressed. but then again i am in a fighting mood and so i think that my professional work is to explain to our public the truth about our government which suppression is determined to keep telling the truth and do her work as best she can imagine being stuck at sea not in a boat but in a tower 6 stories high sounds like a fairy tale but it's in fact a lighthouse france is all this working on it was built some 400 years ago to help sailors navigate the strong currents of this year on estuary the unique structure

is still manned by light housekeepers to this day getting to work dry is one problem that still remains centuries later. that way. and while until mom are full of concentration. the tide is coming in and they'll have to get out sassed of the lighthouse. first put on load everything. it's the changing of the lighthouse keepers. come out and then why have everything they need for a week. they'll be totally alone as soon as the door shuts. they have to get used to a new rhythm. to a new life. once we're here

we're here. we're going to go anywhere. don't we'll be able to take our time. to support because when i get here i'm much calmer than when i'm a home. the corridor one lighthouse in southwestern france is a national monument. it's over 400 years old and boasts 301 steps. but. are used to them. they have to check that everything is ok. the beacon is at a height of 70 meters and it needs regular cleaning. your group or if there's one thing that has to be perfectly claim it's things for sure. the life was still serves as a navigational aid despite the existence of satellite systems. it's always important to have a visual aid just like in a car which grid means you shouldn't come through it's dangerous just green means

it's safe. the lights go on automatically after dark. light housekeeper's no longer have to light the beacon themselves. but they like coming up anyway. heroes robert i think it's great they're always certain lights effect. the light can be seen from 40 kilometers away. the 2 always eat together there are 6 light housekeepers in total and they always do one or 2 weeks shifts in pairs. the next morning they go for a walk at low tide the weather stormy but they are well equipped they love it here . to surf and could only spice

for us if you are totally free. be advantages that were not locked in a toll despite being seen. they go for walks as much as possible. in summer they show the tourists around and they also carry out repairs when necessary . and electrician and sculptor face regular attention to the railings which get damaged by the weather he's been working here for 9 years already. most are like these old buildings. the old stone there's a lot of material to work with a lot of physical work to feed this is what i'm interested in what is human this is my passion some of us from one floor down thomas polishing the copper. after his studies he worked on cruise ships and holiday resorts. he found this job by chance . that nobody will say to me if you polish the copper or not that's good

but most people don't care we're in the middle of the ocean there's nobody here to see it but if i want to do it i do i think it's a very positive context to work in it's not having to do this on among but that's on a tuesday and this on a wednesday so this is how i want to live the to also have very little contact with the outside world phones don't work well all they have for company is each other far away from their families they call it that when i miss my wife and kids it's not that i want to leave here is just what i want to be with them you know but otherwise it's good to hear if my wife and daughter were here i could live here the whole year but there's. they both want to stay in this increasingly rare profession for as long as possible. a work vacation required well in the summer unesco will decide whether the lighthouse will become a world heritage site thanks so much for watching focus on your of do let me know
