nothing has been transferred to my long county or in john 9 more than 10 wrong. even us its way of report by choice in this cause. it has given away 4 times from my name and i will detect the me the news. hello and welcome to focus on europe. i'm la bella. it's nice to have you with us. after a long delay, the european championships have finally kicked off, and soccer fever has taken hold of europe. be in the stadium in pubs or on the

streets. millions of fans want to see their stars and their team for them. it's the perfect opportunity to finally experience a bit of normality again and to have something to celebrate. but for him, soccer is about more than just scoring goals. paul asked, and my youngest is a refugee from cameroon. fighting for his future on the greek island of less boss, he dreams of a career as a professional soccer player in europe. and sports has helped him to connect with others and to cope with the trauma of fleeing his home. his harrowing experiences include being stuck in the former moria refugee camp, despise by refugees and locals alike. these are the remains of the maria refugee camp, unless both at times more than 12000 people lived here in and around the camp until

it burned down in september 2020 paul, a 20 year old from cameroon. spent 2 years living in moria. it was a difficult time for and he doesn't like looking back on it now, he has trouble finding the place where he used to sleep. like cough. i remember this is my golf. i got it. forms panels. so even kayla spine us is probably the best known hobby football coach on last both. and paul's savior. thanks to the greek gods. all is now a striker with the iow legal soccer team. live on the island club, only just missed promotion to greece's 2nd division. this year that success is partly thanks to some new team members. 3 young asylum seekers from africa and

their coach. but not everyone is happy that the 55 year old coach has taken the refugees under his wing. some great parents have taken their children out of sponsors, youth teams. it was a problem, but i decide okay, doesn't matter. i'm doing. i'm also a physical educator or not. so i have to, to teach people not only for sports, but also for me have your work for values for all these things. values like respect and solidarity. after practice, a greek teammate, dr. paul home. he now lives together with other players in this former hotel for that. he thanks spawn us and god sure this is my bible. a bible is all that remains from his months

long flight from political violence and his homeland. and this is my e mail shows my burial site in front of me. i was like touch od between i nice too bad. so bad for me. and i want to talk. yeah, did soccer and coach sponges are his only consolation. the team is called fc cosmos. twice a week, young people come from the nearby car to tape a refugee camp. 14 practice for the young men who mostly fled to europe without their parents. it is one of the rare opportunities to get out of the camp. they say conditions incur attempt, they are much better than they were in moria, but they still feel trapped. it can take years for an asylum claim to be processed

in greece, a good. but now they have hope all has shown them the way playing for the 3rd division side and working as an assistant coach has helped him get a residence permit. and my mother that makes yvonne to spawn us proud. he hopes his successful work will inspire greeks to show more understanding for the often traumatized youngsters. we can give them help, we can change their behaviors so we can make them better, better be better persons. so when they're in the society in the community, it will be very easy for them to speak with local people and local people to check to see that they are just the same with us. then listen, paul has his sights set high. he wants to move on from less bus and dreams of

playing for a professional club in a big city in germany or france. paul is very popular at the clubs, cafe, but among the greeks on the island, there's continuing controversy over the refugees. the european union is planning a new reception center, but most locals are opposed to it because we're against the new k. i mean, we don't want them here. what you're going to me then, you know, we don't have any factories or work here. what are they supposed to do here? if coach sponsors is not put off by such opinions, and his persistence has paid off with f. c cosmos, receiving international support including from soccer's, european governing body, you wafer and where we are coming kids and in every age we are very angry. yeah. so

and every day by day we are looking them smiling, working, talking with this. and this is nice, this nice you read a former player calls response is still there for his boy, even after they've moved on to other clubs in greece or elsewhere. and not everyone sporting dreams come true. but on the soccer pitch coach, sponsors has given them reason to hope, unless both and far beyond it never quite went away. the fear that the so called trouble may return to northern ireland violent protests in april confirmed suspicions at briggs. it could reignite the conflict between catholics and protestants on the island. well, for pro british protestants in belfast, fears of being left

a drift or rising since brags it and a slight countless promises to the contrary. accustomed border between northern ireland and the rest of the united kingdom has been implemented. and some protestants fear being cut off from the u. k. and joining the republic of ireland against their will something their pro irish neighbors, however, would welcome tensions are on the rise. these protesters want to mean british that demonstrating on the outskirts of belfast despite the police. then when it comes to northern ireland, special status, they feel betrayed by the u. k. government, we have not got a partition direction, something the people and also have for, for, for hundreds of years is remy and part of the united kingdom. and now we find ourselves divided from the united kingdom with no consent were produced by blood. but a lot of those for your patients,

but as our possession of the united kingdom know, we're no longer part of the united kingdom for the part of it. because our constitutional law laws are yet in brussels, nor the british symbols are common in northern islands. protestant dominated areas, the red hand represents one of the many para military organizations. it can be found in traditional working class neighborhoods like this one near the port. it's now one of the poorest areas in northern ireland. joel keys grew up in a similar area. he knows the paramilitary group and he won't feel proud of this protestant heritage, but he's afraid it could be taken away by catholics. some people are loyalty to the queen. sometimes it's their british identity and people fly their flags just out of pure love. so write down to me, it's an expression of who they are. his catholic neighbours live just next door

behind a high wall. most of them want a united ireland. that would be a night message. joe. you got one group of people who believe that northern ireland should be part of the united ireland. then you've got one group of people who believe northern islands partition should remain part of the united kingdom. those are fundamentally opposed. you know, ideology should come out both. you're either in one or the other. we make our way to the other side of the wall. in the past, it seemed violent street fighting but claimed over 3000 lives. one of the dead was the mother of mary adams, a catholic who died in a bomb attack carried out by pro british protestant militias. she says she's worried about increasing discontent amongst the protestants. they're not thinking about anybody else just in sales. and i've always been look at, it's always been, they get so it's not change and they're not letting the change at all was damaged and they get their month. but so many catholics the united island they

have fought for so long is increasingly within reach. mary's neighbor who runs a pub, says the protestants will just have to accept that tomorrow morning. law wants good . they can still have their betty shut down today because we still have our attic at down to the lower still occupied by the british. so mainly, we have live with for a 100 years, let them see how they can get back on the other side. joe keys sees the british, is protectors, not occupiers. until recently. anyway. now prime minister boris johnson's government has allowed goods from britain to be checked in the port of belfast for jo vet, unforgivable, and has to be changed at all costs. sometimes violence is the thing that you have to day. i'm not sure that we have to day up. i'm not saying that we will have to do . i'm just sent. you asked me to take it off the table to ask me to categorically read it. especially when our political opponents have made very clear that they are

not going to take it off the table. it's an unreasonable request. joe is not alone in his anger. according to posed over 80 percent of people in northern ireland. don't trust the u. k. government. there is some people who think that and violence in various forms expresses how serious you are. i know that the vast majority of people in northern ireland do not want to see anything like that, but it doesn't take too many people to create a situation in which people protest can escalate and to something violent. i will be free right now. young protestants will, as in northern ireland, are preparing the annual bonfires to mark the 17th century victory over catholics. but many fear this year bonfires could get out of control. there's certainly a sort of perception that our concerns and our worries and also our goals and our

on our dreams are kind of ignored and we're kind of told to just sit down, be quiet and leave it to the professionals. don't, don't do this. it's i understand the frustration, brecht it is the biggest threat. the northern ireland peace process is faced so far . and for the moment, that's about the only thing catholics and protestants here agree on this exotic animal feels right at home with us, even though it's on foreign land. the greater ria is a giant, flightless bird, and its size is matched only by its appetite needed for south america. it is now making itself home in northern germany. the shall, the biosphere reserve has become home to the largest population of rio birds in europe. this may please conservationists, but for farmers they're nothing but a nuisance. of the birds find plenty of food on their fields, but have no natural predators. over there,

there's one, thomas toy has it in his sight. he's a farmer and he often keeps an eye out for them in the area. what's out there? i know if i can see one, i can't see the 2nd one behind that hollow toy is no friend of the greater ria birds beat his crops. da, they're always over that way on both sides of the road office. the hungry birds are very fond of his rape seed. no wonder. it's an energy packed food crop. this is one of the plants, they've been nom up. look here, you can see how they've eaten the lauer. food stamps is active and handy the aisle and the blue up cousin. the farmer says the greater we as force him to plant 20 percent more rape seed. the damage amounts to thousands of euro's

under the fund. a lot of people think they're wonderful, but we, well, we think the birds are great to when their feet is coming out of your pocket. it makes you mad. we farmers are used to dealing with a certain amount of damage from wild animals, but this is a pretty extreme case. and these are wild animals that don't really have anything to do with us. and this is all not far from toy fields in the northern german town, of course, clear now. there are one 6th grader we as kept in a private through. then some 20 years ago, the gate was left open and the birds who are native to south america, escaped from their enclosure and managed to breed successfully in the area. that makes them the responsibility of ranger mario axes, from the shows they were nefco beauty reserve. he and his colleagues count the greater re as at regular intervals. as the result of that fateful oversight 2 decades ago, the birds population has grown to 600 individuals now mythic.

whenever i own the animals back, then clearly wasn't paying enough attention and wasn't too concerned after the fact . these probably assume the situation would simply take care of itself. it isn't align reagan. it didn't. the birds even braved the cold german winters and took up residence in the region. it's really just the local humans who have an adapted to them from miss status him and they'll still look unfamiliar to me. in their lunch, when you see the silhouette of one of these murders strutting along for me, it just doesn't really harmonize with the image i have of the northern german landscape in north georgia home. so the rangers are trying to keep down the numbers of greater ria, for example by drilling holes into their eggs. but the birds just lay more of them . 3 years have no natural predators here. unlike in south

america, where greater fall prey to jaguar's. but the rangers, in northern germany hope the local wild boar will start to take an interest in the re is x. there are this is theresa when on trying once or twice an egg. this is eyes will be it. it will be interested in finding more an open to see it on a method. and wild boar is approaching, the nest won't be scared off by a male. ria, nice bind open, but they'll manage to eat the eggs to gain wood defenses. and now people like district hunter, haycock funk, are joining the effort to keep the ria population and check they've shot more than 200 at the animals with official permission. of course, they are not trying to kill all of them. phone is convinced that the real will continue to multiply. he says the clever birds are leaving the areas where they are hunted and counted detail counting the greater ria in the monitored areas. it does not provide the real numbers of the population. here. there are ria outside,

the counting zones, toy doesn't think they've evacuated the area hill. yes, they've moved 20 kilometers further east. that's no big deal for them over them. farmer toys also thinks that the greater rios are here to stay in northern germany and on his fields. no for sure he can. well, we can't chase them away and they run a lot faster than we do. we've tried scarecrows, some things like that choice on. so i don't mind one bit on it, so there's no way to frighten them away. to show the greater we as are certainly i catcher, is for locals and tourists but perhaps before too long, the new natives will become a normal feature of this strange new world. europe's woodlands are under threat fires. storms and pests are wreaking havoc on the 4th health.

years of drought have amplified the problem and damaged huge ranges of timber. o people in eastern belgium are feeling the heat from the climate emergency. the forest were once a place for rest and relaxation. but now rangers and owners can only watch as the trees whither the forest is something that we are in for a quiet, almost magical oasis. in times like these where travel is often impossible for many, it is a place of refuge sometimes for too many. but most of us do not realize europe's woods are in serious danger. the greatest so surprisingly small. as the past 3 years, the tiny bark beetle has spread through europe, spruce forests, attacking countless trees. the insect poses a grave danger, says belgian forest re expert hubert or toyed. even though technically, the beetle only attacks 6 trees through the natural response of

a spruce tree or any tree for that matter against bark beetle is to produce a sap in the hearts with in the beetle cannot grow to maturity and then dies in the boma and batteries that lack water at their roots can produce sap done and are therefore defenseless against the insect and unreasonable and careful. there was also that although this year was rather cood and damp so far, that was not enough to offset 3 years of drought and drive away the people we meet attends nigh as his family. his own this far as to the east and belgium for the past 100 years, about 60 percent of europe's forests, a privately owned and pose huge problems for their owners. the science had to cut down entire areas like this one to fight the buck before interest station home at

these really traumatic or areas where trees 2 or 3 years ago or now bear. so boom, trees that had grown to maturity and we're ready to be felled. are suddenly dead mostly because of the drought. there's been a lot of fetal damaged, wood, and timber processing companies are overwhelmed. those who cannot happy to set it off to china at a discount. europeans prefer impeccable timber, which is becoming increasingly costly and rather weld over film to tag on hopefully deal. i think only the big players can live off there for a while. for media, our forest is a family. as a big book with us, we are attached to it of course and, but we also need to invest in into bookkeeper from if you have to keep selling enough timber to keep replanting on law. got the economically viable if it weren't for climate change. so probably to keep it,

we'll start this far as 3 expert has recommended this nice to plan latches and douglas says, which i'll say from bach beetles. both are also more robust than spruce trees. although only time will tell how they'll hold up against climate change. planting trees is a costly experiment that could lead to financial ruin. many people think forest common property and should be placed under protection. they oppose the timber industry and say this with guaranteed bio diversity. but europe needs far as stone as to look after and cultivate the forests. we got all the pretty soon. the production is very important. that us biller. there is already a shortage. you know, rather soon we will have to import even more timbers. consider including from region where it isn't treated sustainable, they own ones, the fund, one of the sy,

as instance, takes sustainability seriously planting. different tree types, selling selectively and planting use saplings is needed. after all, the family wants to preserve the forest for coming generations. have you ever uncovered something old while digging around in the sand or in the garden? a chart of clay, or perhaps a coin? it looked to be ancient and valuable? well, most of the time, what many hope is a historical fine turns out to be worthless debris. but that doesn't stop numerous danish hobby, archaeologists to go treasure hunting, armed with the right tools, they hope that the next big fine is just a ping away. when this many people spend their free time sweeping the field, you know there must be something special buried. they are all amateur, archaeologists from mid detect. the 350 member metal detecting club in jutland in

denmark. and today, they're searching for treasures from the past. so that's why he stole in, lots of danes are interested in history. and this is both an adventure and a history lesson. for me, it's a way of telling the next generation about our country's past fargo. he was, the hobby has been booming. since the spread of the pandemic says miko had learned . it gets practitioners outdoors for once. of course, they ask the farmers for permission to search 1st. wherever the detector beeps, they dig. it's always a thrill says 17 year old patrick. this is, i mean it's been the damage. the most exciting experience is to hold something old in your hands, which someone might have last held some 3000 years ago. a single system. it's so fascinating to think about who last stood here using that object. talk to the new story. most of the time, the diggers just find unearth rubbish like cans or old tools made of iron or

aluminum, says olsh banner. he's been doing this for 5 years now. but not this time i today he gets lucky and find something very rare. wouldn't in the, around a stamp seal. probably dates to the middle ages. maybe even a little earlier around 1200 or 12 valuable objects like this are photographed and registered and the digital portal dina was about to take the treasure. hunters use the app to contact danish museums explains archeologist andre store bought at or whose university that way. experts are promptly informed of any new discovery and can evaluate it. for me, did you see that here? here history is viewed as something very immediate and hobby, archeologists really bring that notion to life. it's like a hands on less than in history. lesson. stamp sealed that almost bonner found has already been registered in or who's and will soon go on display search,

find register, and give to a museum. that's how symbol uncovering the past can be in denmark. and i thought germans were organized. well, that brings us to the end of focus on europe. let me know your thoughts about this . we show on twitter. thanks so much for watching 5. for now. the news. the me the news, the news,

the news the news, the the, the ah, the, against the covering, the virus pandemic now has the rate of infection in developing what measures are being taken. what does the latest research say? information and context ah,

can really virus update because it central monday to friday on b w. the hello guys. that is a 77 percent. the platform was used to be issues to share ideas. you know, on this channel. we're not afraid to ask and then it gets tough. young people really have the solution, the future. the 77 percent. now everything on the w o m e is up play with that is me and just getting back to me

and i yeah. and i why i know i i just i, i just need to know what i do. what

my me ah ah ah, this is dw news by from by then the us president and 1st lady arrive in florida to visit the size of the collapsed beach front of the building. after a briefing on the rescue operation, president biden visit the scene of the tragedy. read me 1st responders, and some of the victims of 145. people are still missing. also on the program president jason paying hales. china's rise as irreversible. he told lovers

celebrations to mark a 100 years. the founding, the chinese companies tells huge crowds it's facing that the era of china being bullied is gone. ah, i'm so gale. welcome to the program. work has been halted out. the size of a canada department block in florida. i'm in fear is that part of the building still standing could give way. it's applied to the families of the missing who still have not given up. hope that that love the funds will be found to live in the rubble. us president joe biden has traveled to the floor of the town of south side where he's been, brainstorm the emergency operation. he's now meeting with rescue crews who have been carrying the hazardous work of coming through the rubble. later, he will hold a closed door meeting with the family as if people have been killed and this

confirmed death. so 118 that as many as 145 on accounted for? no. serv. i've been found since last thursday. as john dw correspondent oliver salad in surfside, florida. welcome oliver. i'm tom, the president of the family's any hope that they're missing loved ones will still be found alive. well, it's really difficult meeting for him today. he's just meeting a rescue workers 1st responder, so thank them for their tireless efforts of course, and then also families and families, family members. and it's really a fine line because of course, he has to express his condolences but also offer some encouraging words because many of them are still hoping that there might be at least some survivors trapped. somewhere in voids underneath these metre high piles off the rubble of course,

hopes are fading with every passing day, but it's not entirely impossible that there might be some survivor trapped on other rubble. bring us up to date about the situation on the sides of the rescue. operations have been paused because there have been apparently the danger of a secondary collapse of a part of the still standing structure of the champlin tower. so for that reason, no, a rescue operation is carried out at this point. generally speaking until a couple of hours ago, the rescue operation was still ongoing and it was not a recovery operation that because as long as there's the possibility that there might be someone still alive there, coming through these piles of rubble extremely carefully. as you saw in the pictures with buckets and with their sheer hands, with the ultimate goal, of course, to be as careful as possible. and that is also one of the reasons why this operation takes so long. right. and all source is any clear as to why the building

collapsed. well, the initial impression was after the building came down that this happened really with no warning just in the middle of denied while it's inhabitants were ab sleep essentially. but that picture has changed over the last years. we now know of this 2018 inspection that found some structural damages to the building. we also know that the president of the condominium association wrote to the owners that the situation got significantly worse, and that was just a few months ago. and he also said that repairs would cost up to $50000000.00 us dollars. there were many senior citizens living in the building, perhaps not able to afford that. also, there was a different and contracting account by the city inspector who said that he believes it's less urgent to carry out those works. and that's apparently what the owners went with. of course, a fatal mistake, as it seems, it's important that to point out that as plausible as all of the fields,

there are several investigations underway. so we don't know exactly what happens. we will know, however, within a couple of months, right? so in the meantime, there must be concerned that this guy that this could happen elsewhere. yeah, sure. there is some concern. there are, this is not the only building that is old and that is built in that style. so several of those buildings are spread out over the east codes of the united states . many are being checked and instructed right now. the problem feel really is that we have learned painfully through this collab at knowing the damages of a building doesn't necessarily need and force the owners to fix. so the whole saw that some legal actions would follow in one member of another condominium of another condominium board told me that you would find that really reasonable to force owners to sally. they can't afford their repairs, certainly

a tough measure. but perhaps one way to avoid such a situation from happening again. okay, thank you for that sort of a solid sy, florida now to china, where president, jeez, and paying ha, struck at the fire note of celebrations. mocking the $100.00 anniversary of the countries communist party as a major event in chatham and scrat call for taiwan to be brought back on the chinese control and said china would not be intimidated by threats from abroad. observer. see whose comments as a warning to west and countries that have criticize raging rich human rights abuses in crackdowns in hong kong. in g, our loan followed the military flavor of salutes and patch arctic songs in honor of becoming a posse. he's the only one to me, yet every we will never allow any foreign force to bully, oppress, or subjugate us. say, anyone who dares to try that will find the head bashed against

a great wall of steel. forged by over 1400000000 chinese people. or richard mcgregor is a china analyst at australia's low e institute. we asked him what he made present. she's comments. well, it's very tough. i mean, i guess we 1st have to think this is aimed at a domestic audience. that line got one of the biggest cheers from the audience. and so that tells you about the sort of bread made that many people in china like to devout. in other words, one of the, you know, the great sources of legitimacy for the communist party is that they got rid of foreigners, out of china. and the anti foreign sentiment is still very potent, particularly if you keep framing foreigners and this narrative, the trying to contain china and keep china down. then you're always going to get

a response when you speak like that. which mcgregor? well, china has had a turbulent century under the communist party, which started in 1921. the secret meeting of 53 people in shanghai. since then, it has been transformed into an instrument of national political control with 92000000 members for decades and the founding data amount down the people's republic was essentially close to the rest of the world. today, the ones in poverty nation is the world's 2nd biggest economy. that transformation has come at a cost to day tourists, bullets ply this lake, but 100 years ago, it was a small group of marx's who sought out this is alex. but they had convened in shanghai, but the fear of spies. so they move their meeting to boat on non who lake 100 kilometers south of the city is where they found that the communist party today non who receives visitors from all over china compound. that meant

that it is the communist party that stands for it has brought us the good life. we have to day to take the hotel for month. the government has built an impressive museum on the shore that it is. i told the story of the party that has tirelessly fought with the re nations of the chinese nation. but during the culture revolution, millions were you really aged and killed or there was mouth, great pam, in with tens of millions of victims by an erroneous collectivist ation policy. those pictures are absent from the exhibition of course, in the development of a party like ours achievements, and there are problems. but overall our party has maintained the right course and has made great efforts. so in our exhibition, we focus on this big trend on what really matters not everyone

sees the trend in the same way, which is one of the few critics who still dare to speak out. he compares the parties confidence to germany and japan before world war 2, hamilton that they paint the picture of an ascending global power whose rise is inevitable. it is the kind of fanatic nationalism that the world saw 100 years ago . the communist party is completely incapable of introspection and to reflect on itself, fascinatingly, all over the country. historic party locations are turning into pilgrimage sites. here in shanghai, the party found as convene before fleeing to the lake parties says from all over china, happy organizing, visits to the site. the exhibition has received

a complete make over with a prominent role for president seeds in p. here to party history is a carefully engineer, narrative. to jazz is tori and at the party history institute, which is supervised by the center committee. there are materials we can not publish . this has to do with opposition. research or communication have to serve the party . the people that has our standpoint, to least paging, is pulling out all the stops to celebrate the centennial of the chinese communist party. but it's a party that remains the extremely tight control here, look at some of the other sources making news around the world, or starting men. mom, where the military has begun. releasing about $2300.00 prisoners, including activists and journalists detained new case. and no reason has been given for the releases and thousands are still thought to be behind. bars held in

in which had served 2 years of a 3 to 10 year sentence before arriving at his home in nearby norristown. after being helped from the car, cosby gave the camera signal v for victory. his attorney with similarly triumphant i am thrilled and i am pleased to the pennsylvania supreme court. what we knew all along, which was that mister cosby never should have been prosecuted, was driven by politics. were quite pleased that the pennsylvania supreme court seems impervious to what is going on on the outside world. and all of that pressure that was placed on the criminal justice system from has to move been the, the me to movement, helped bring cars, be under scrutiny. he was one of a number of high profile men in show business accused of using the power to exploit and sexually assault women. but only one case against cosby went to court village

and trucking and molestation of andre a constant observance, say the outcome of the case needs context. basically a couple of years ago before he was actually charged, the older prosecutor, the previous prosecutor that is in the state of pennsylvania, asked him to come forward to give a deposition in exchange for that he would not be prosecuted. as long as he told the truth, while bill cosby came in, he spoke, considered urgently, very, very long gave extreme graphic details about the fact that he drug certain women that he had. according to him affairs, with certain women. they say the public should not view the rolling as cars being pronounced innocent. what people have to understand is that this decision that came out on wednesday does not say that bill cosby is innocent. it is not say that there

wasn't enough evidence by these dozens and dozens of women that came forward to the crushing it. this conviction has re ignited debate over the ability to hold a fair trial amid intense public pressure. and the efficacy of the me to movement and holding powerful men to account. that's what you're up to date. more well news at the top of the hour, but we'll have a business update for you next day. the news people in trucks injured when trying to see the city center more and more refugees are being turned away. families to be crated and treated people sleep.
