it. doesn't matter. because your. family. minds. hello and welcome to a new edition of focus on europe thanks for joining us today nato is pulling its troops from afghanistan and that includes the german bund the consequences of this move can be seen in europe. around 10000 soldiers are deployed at the hindu kush now they are packing their bags and returning home critics fear that

once they leave a new civil war may break out. and with it we could see a rising number of people fleeing afghanistan and taking on the dangerous journey to turkey right now many who've succeeded are arriving in van town in the eastern part of the country i mean that stuff is a day and her son part this got here 3 years ago but they know that many don't make it and that's why i mean and part of this are determined to keep alive the memory of the unknown dead. i mean as have his interest son parviz it is always difficult to come here. the cemetery of the nameless is a belief place. motherhood here's a good image going to the people who are buried here all had mothers brothers and sisters they all had someone who loved them but now their families don't even know

that they are here but it breaks my heart that there is no one who comes and prays for them mobile how dare you not argue. that is why i am mean and harvest pray here on behalf of everyone else. they too fled from afghanistan why iran to turkey illegally on foot over the mountains it's a long dangerous journey and many who don't make it end up here in the eastern turkish city of van in an unadorned grave with no name. i myself buried a man here who was found dead in a mansion. and once we brought women's bodies their fingers and toes were frozen in the cold. and yet only a few are discouraged by the risk the number of people trying to get to europe where this route has risen sharply in recent years most of from afghanistan

pakistan bangladesh and what was once a tiny cemetery has long since become a mass burial ground. recently turkish police stopped a truck in the area people smugglers had crammed more than 100 children women and men into the back. more than 50 migrants died last year after their boat capsized on lake van. turkey is now building walls everywhere in the region to stop the migrants hundreds of kilometers long the border with syria has already been closed off the wall to iran is still under construction. human rights lawyer mahmoud cut chances wolf won't stop the refugees. fairly make their journey more dangerous. the shape of a somewhat a b. if. your remember. people will always look for ways to enter the country.

even if it means risking their lives. what turkey has been ignoring for too long is the fact that people smuggling in this area has become a kind of business sector so. people can make a lot of money in a short time at a relatively low risk. ameena in paris a few saudis still clearly remember their own flight from afghanistan that was more than 3 years ago the smugglers took everything from them they say. here in van the family is now trying to get by on low paid jobs. people only to those can work. in a little money collecting garbage or selling fruit and vegetables at the market and we simply can't make ends meet. like so many

others they want to continue to woods europe but they cannot afford to do that and the trip is not without its dangers either back to afghanistan they say that's out of the question i have lost everything in afghanistan it's a war zone our house was destroyed how can we go back there when there's no safety for our children and you will environment but if we have to go back they will kill my son that's not an option. so they are holding out in eastern turkey stranded in their new existence. and they think of those who lost their lives and are buried here at the symmetry of the nameless. a new life in safety nets what many refugees arriving in the u.k. hoped for and this was the same decades ago before the 2nd world war more than 10000 jewish children found refuge and new homes in the united kingdom's safe from

the nazis lord dubs or was one of those children he's now 88 years old and he has been fighting tirelessly for children who are fleeing from war in terror and who are on the move all by themselves. having to leave your family your country and everything you know behind you. and your dogs knows what that's like when he was just 6 years old alfred dogs was placed on a train and cried as part of a kindertransport evacuating children from nazi occupied czechoslovakia the trains bound for london where his jewish father had already sought refuge his mother was denied a visa. and put on a train. saying goodbye anxious parents at the station german soldiers. i suppose that was quite traumatic. give me some sandwiches for the journey and when i got to love that i had no problem at all hadn't touched them but on the hub

my father was waiting for me. at liverpool sensation i was very very lucky that his father died not long after and all those mother made it a lot and she was never happy there but the 88 year olds doesn't like to talk about those things he prefers to an exchange through political progress and a seat in the british house of lords in parliament dobbs advocates for underage refugees well as they did for the 1st half of what the minister said was slightly less certain about the 2nd half of his cross party initiative as unable to 480 children mainly from war zones to come to the u.k. even if the government cut back on the numbers. i think saving one person and giving them a chance to have a decent life is one victory so without sounding too pompous about and that is a victory. but behind every victory is

a story of hardship must it was 13 when he left somalia fleeing from islamist terror groups. over the next 3 years he traveled through war ravaged libya over the mediterranean to italy before reaching the refugee camp in cali france known as the jungle he was all on his own. he said he was beaten and witnessed other migrants perish. people died in the sea of shoes and in the water yeah i see a lot of boat it was on like he was in safety i didn't have another choice this is his 1st meeting with the man who brought him to england says most of you here today must stay lives in london and study sport in college he also said once a thank you for. only being here without just hope it's like a was a child i was 6 i was young i was 6 years old go well i never thought this these

things happen in life quite unexpectedly but of a lot of i thought i'd be here doing this. more dogs asks must be what it was like to live the company tally and appends his experiences of the civil war in libya to discover they're both manchester united fans it's a conversation between 2 refugees 18 and the other 88. i was called him legend he has been a lot for v.j. and is he done a lot of things to help him a lot of younger be able because he understands and he was that situation and they know how it's fairly not been in somewhere like in cali or clegg so has he done brilliant job on the i want to be like him in the fish i had a lawful vision of what unites me is the fellow feeling that we've all fled to safety britain gave me fantastic opportunities. and i'd like to feel that other people coming south refugees will be given the same opportunities and the same old

welcome that i think. that's present on accompanied miners in european refugee camps have little chance of coming to the u.k. legally your dubbs considers that to be unacceptable i'm just fighting for the law to be changed man. i would argue that the least we can do is to share the sponsibility of other european countries and that means we should take a few more shouldn't take them all. but the reason we should take a few more we can do better than me and i would argue that that is our humanitarian response to both. nor dobes plans to live up to this responsibility over the next 10 years he wants the u.k. to take in 2000 children the same number as one skein on the contrary transport. and that can lead to wonderful encounters like the one between large dubs and the

mass they have from somalia. last year was difficult for hotel and restaurant owners and european course the summations like the italian island of capri many people stayed whole or only travelled within their own countries now that we have several vaccines against the coronavirus there are hopes for a better holiday season to act visitors this year capris population is being vaccinated as quickly as possible but this is this pleasing to sam on mainland italy. this stunning view belongs to capri. the island usually some 2000000 holidaymakers every here. locals are used to the many visitors . that surprise this year they're still having to wait for. the jewel in the gulf of naples is especially beautiful during these months as is

the garden of the where no court systems we. are live and products and legendary we . if you look we have blossoms and lemons at the same time. such an intoxicating smell. we had so much rain that everything has grown well look at this branch it's bending under the weight so one think about how much ice cream and cakes are going to make meanwhile and the fear come out a luxury boutiques are being spruced up for affluent tourists who up until the pandemic brought in a large part of the island's revenues. the islanders are now hoping that the cocoa creek capri campaign will help bring about their return. it all goes to plan the entire island population will be packs needed by the summer and the dodgy beach atmosphere can be restored half have already received their 1st shot. but now the

island is being criticized by other tourism spots on the mainland capri has been accused of trying to jump ahead with its vaccination scheme to attract more than its share of tourists local mayor marino lembo denies this. i. think this is the whatever there is a real disagreement just different approaches simply up the pressure so that more attention is paid to tourist sites on the islands. on the mainland at the famous site of the ancient town herculaneum people are also waiting for tourism to pick up again. and 29600000 visitors came here. last year it was only $60000.00. people sounded like we can return to and we have life that may not be the singing but which places like these can be visited again there are so important for

everybody else was also nourishment. the archaeological site is also the financial lifeline of that. a small town near naples. used to attract only daytrippers but now it has around 2000 tourists. every guest counts the local mayor says capri has luxury problems whereas here the fight as for survival. i don't think it would be rights to prioritise capri ischia or procida into frigates pompei herculaneum naples and the sorrento coast on the coast tourism should only begin after mass vaccinations and not because one island has been vaccinated. but many hope tourists will return earlier than that. sisters have added class divisions to their ice cream parlor and preparation so that they can work without wearing a mask oh yeah. you. ask. i

don't know you have to have this on your we have to work and we want to work we have to be safe and so do our customers you know what. caprio is known for its beautiful daughters stunning and hidden caves. has spent countless hours ferrying visitors around. here certain tourists will be back soon thanks to the vaccine was. all of this to the philosophy of our region which is that you have to be a barrel when it's food because it makes more sense when it is empty. dream island of car pre waiting purpose a chance to return. everyone

in the bosnian capital saturday of war probably knows him the partisan lobby me a period he was part of the communist resistance that fought against the germans in the balkans right before the end of world war 2 and he was particularly active in the city of saturday of war after the war of alta became a superhero even in comics books though now. it's once a keeper vaulters memory alive and with it the fascination for comics. evil nazis and heroic partisans every child growing up in the former yugoslavia knew the story while to defend sarajevo as well as the film it was a comic book that had millions of fans around the globe. comics were hugely popular in the former yugoslavia an army a shadow which hopes to preserve this tradition has been a comic enthusiastic childhood he founded design publishing company this courtyard

in sarajevo is home to a coffee comics as well as a shop which sells comic books and graphic novels there really it is more of a refuge. with the dallas fort worth i do think anyone in bosnia today would enter the comic book trade purely as a business venture for the 3 pour you need to love comics or so aside from the fact that i'm trying to earn my living from it this is about my passion for comics through the series of is also an attempt to leave a few traces behind me the police eventually to reawaken a lot of comics and kids that the nickel view. children can bring in a comic they've already read and exchange it for another charlotte and nothing from this but he says that's not important he's too busy trying to salvage whatever he can his collection of comics is now larger than the one held by boston as national library. service it is in the

1960 s. seventy's and eighty's if everyone in yugoslavia read comics it was organized the state in the school supported it or here is maybe a little less but little compared to today the print runs were incredible view of it was the way through the darkness the break of yugoslavia also spelled the end of this comic culture since then sales have been sluggish back in the early seventy's a comic issue could easily sell 800000 copies. today young artists like and his cheech ish have a tough time living from their work. brought into the asked. him who were there are a couple of enthusiastic to do it because it's their passion for 3 dusty reason for still any type of scene here reporter with over the years comic book authors and

illustrators unfortunately look for jobs and side of bosnia and herzegovina valley . chief says the market has been decimated even though the internet is creating new opportunities he says what's missing are publishers like shall each and his publishing company. is doing with regard to comics. or with the publishing house on the comic book store is a good step towards creating what bosnia lacks or what kind of platform you can work with. as a platform or not so much rod. a gothic comics has brought out a new edition of wall to defend sarajevo the story has also been republished in german and chinese in china the tale of walter the resistance fighter who took on the nazis is well known chinese tourists visiting sarajevo flocked to his memorial

there though until the end the nazis never knew who walter was you know walter is tell me his name at once. i will show him to you. you see the answer to. this is factor. in sarajevo walter is once again a symbol of resistance now against the political corruption that's paralyzed bosnia for decades. with and only with people are sick of having to just survive on their own. and walter's message to fight for others to fight for others' lives and all of us work with the other thing is to make something of our lives here and sorry vu and in bosnia i mean shall each his optimism in the face of all odds is reminiscent of walter's message never give up even in times of great resistance

we now want to take you to the caspian sea to a region where you can actually find sea monsters and know we're not talking about any lost nest monster but about a huge metal vessel designed to scare off enemies during the cold war this man played an important role in the project. is a retired engineer and he remembers the time when he used to ride the waves on the caspian sea months. colossal quittin dangerous this monstrous vehicle part ship part airplane is on a beach by the caspian sea in the republic of dagestan. plan or screened later designed for military use presumably against the west. virginia off served as flight engineer on test flights for the winship or ground

effect vehicle as they're generically no look really this one is called the caspian sea monster. what we get the guy i operated the propulsion units from here it's a great machine just incredible the slope of. the 1st wing ship was designed in the 1960 s. it was meant to guard russia's coastlines and fight enemy ships posting under tech to by radar thanks to a slew flight this uses the ground effect here a dynamic interaction with the surface beneath the wings treat just enough lift to carry the 380 tons giant a few meters above the water. but it never saw genuine service 14 years after the caspian sea monsters launch the soviet union collapsed and test flights were ended. but only a bit of the way. we thought hardly words. but

we were so proud of our country at the time for developing such let's call them products unlike any other country in the world hunt knew from what it was written after all it wasn't a monster those are part of the more thought. even plans to use to crown a plan to carry passengers because it didn't need long runways or airports. up to gleam of steve otis 14 years of his life to the plan. he logged a bit more than 500 hours of flight time which she says is not much for a professional test pilot but the flights were anything but easy something always went wrong the prototype had only been built for test flights. was nick fury have various firefighting protocols and event of an accident. what if we just want to be honest we never once had to use them. with the new rich of us. today the

caspian sea monster stands near bent a 2 hour drive from our home. the now retired flight engineer is proud to have been the only data stanny on the team of soviet researchers. hardly any photos remain from his time of them after all it was a top secret soviet military project. but it was the only non party member they took on but they would have gone the other coworkers were communists. when the head of our test pilots division found out about taxes he was shocked. at how could a nonparty member have become a crew member. we could push. today party membership means nothing the country elected g a. the soviet union is history and the colossal winship is destined to serve as an attraction park

a tourist site planned on the caspian sea coast. over there michael. everything is ruined. the work of so many designers and engineers. hospitalise that still standing here but we were rather at that and i mean there was talk about dismantling it's for scrap and i do small girls buy milk i hope it'll help young people understand what fantastic technology we had and what a great country but what if i tell you i hope that will help them feel proud of this country and its people not obama's. and soothe the caspian sea monster faces a very different mission in today's russia to bear witness to the one time current greatness of the former soviet union.

well that's all we have time for today but we'll be back with more stories then reports next week all to see you then take care and then back.
