of equality ah, 75 years ago my gandhi peacefully led the country to independence. what has remained of his vision? where does the world so called largest democracy stand? where is india headed? this is the moment to unleash on on violet bass. gandhi's legacy start august 6th on b, w ah, ah, hello and welcome to focus on europe a europe that is facing huge and unprecedented challenges. one of which is heat.

now while fires are of course, typically for the season in dry southern parts of the continent, but this time around large areas of central and even northern europe are also bearing the brunt of the conflagration. but meanwhile, farmers in spain, southern region, van der lucio also bringing their hands in despair. they to need a lot of water if they're going to prevent crops like strawberries, vegetables and salads from going to ruin on their giant plantations. but digging wells to give themselves access to ground water is illegal and also has a negative knock on effects on wetlands like the dani ana data reserve. life is about to get harder for this spoon, bill heron, environmentalists, philippe, when till sauce. and juan romero are concerned about the existence of hundreds of thousands of such water birds in the wetlands of dawn, yana in the south of spain because water levels are falling

but a lovely, but i see that live on a lot. it's a catastrophe full by a diversity in it. yeah. by the way, and this is a protected zone he'll get out without. don yana has been as good as drive for 2 years now. it usually it's a wetland area with no water because it's wasted. and sometimes by breaking the law on that, i mean, i don't, yeah, ma, national park, a unesco world heritage site, is surrounded by farmers who use ground water to irrigate their strawberry blackberry and raspberry plantations in the midst of the to get all of them. and they will look at the ramparts on phillip his map. so all the plantations that have cropped up in the area since the 1980s without a license sierra via my. they mean both of you regarding both well over a 1000 illegal one is i've been drilled in the middle of the forest without permission. i mean, he's happy. and the authorities, when negligence. fairfield,

nobody stopped the uncontrolled growth yet got up on it. but i think would benefit one wants to show us the illegal wells. he understands the situation of the farmers who've been waiting for years to be connected to an irrigation system, in which water is transported to the region from distant rivers. but he thinks it's wrong for them to drill wells if they don't have permission. by a wolf, a water is scarce resources broken out. it's about who gets more. that's the problem. i think i'm and that, that, that was available. emma. we come across a wild fire, a consequence of drought and record breaking heat. there's an illegal well right? if i'm of in law or basile get that it was built by circumventing the law without papers off. it will be him right next to a dry river bed. that is public property. it got that culture boiler. so a lot of them in your bully go either early, many of these fields were planted with farmers simply turning forest or meadows

into plantations. we wanted to speak to some growers, but no one wanted to speak to us. even those with licenses refused to appear on camera. but manuel salgado spokesman of the danina farmers association, agreed to talk with us globally. lemme lemme, i figured we were just getting a bad reputation if consumers are led to believe that all fruit has grown illegally . this isn't true. well, well, if you got one that i think the conservative people's party in spain has announced an amnesty for illegal cultivation, which is fueling more attention than if a young lady. i love you now though you have in these mamma shall be punished and the land shall be cleared. he said couple of but the opposite is happening on that they're being rewarded before they, after 18 years of illegal farming up they going to get a permit,

open it. but i will, if i get called the on the now that the people's party was recently elected to the and to lucy and regional parliament with an absolute majority. one is worried that it will implement what it is promised ill be looking around for about an hour alone, but it hardly that's now going to govern here and to lucia has promised to legalize everything. hang on you. and that's why the authorities are waiting and not prosecuting those who've broken the law. and that would just create a big fuss because expectations are so high other be made out of manuel antonio gonzales is a deputy for the people party in and to lucia. he doesn't understand the criticism and says that his party wants the amnesty to ensure that all plantations are connected in future to an irrigation system. was a demo handle. what a low this way will achieve 2 goals. he bought at all, we will be regulating and we will ensure that no more ground water is withdrawn,

us all the and the spanish government finally does it duty and builds irrigation channels in uh with for one romero. all of this is a power struggle for political and economic interest at the cost of nature. get in for you, get if he and dog, if he and after they want to grow and grow until the done younger nature reserve disappears completely. we can c h r, i mean, instead of wetland desert, the dep and desert about now the european commission has intervened and has given spain an ultimatum. there will be big fines if the nature reserve continues to be destroyed and water intensive, agriculture grows. this might be the last chance for this bird. ah, well, one man who knows a thing or 2 about the horrors of war is australian war photographer,

warren richardson. he regularly joined ukrainians up at the front line in the conflict with russia. recently, for instance, he captured some of the fighting in the fiercely embattled southern city of nic upon so why do fighters and why do civilians trust him? will probably because he takes the same kind of risks as they do. oh oh oh, the death knows keep bringing out in nico pole, in southeast, in ukraine. today these people are bidding farewell to the very crust. nicky who died at the front. his son was given the day off to stand by his mother's side during this difficult experience. a lot of people have been mourning and nico, pole, and wolf photographer, warren richardson takes pictures of them. he's been photographing people morning

here for weeks, so unless the middle, oh, we met these trillion at a parking lot by the nico pulse train station, merrily his while air raid sirens kept blaring. he showed us the course of the nearby front lines. here. there is a nuclear power station here. the russians control this whole entire area. so they're completely in control of fear right now. very difficult to cook off and the situation can change at any time. said there were a few moments when the sirens go silent. o m in that situation it's, it's an everyday situation. so for me, getting on the trains with the people at a fling, you know, you're around women and children that are completely unaware. ready oh, you know, they don't know what's going to happen next. when warren takes photographs, he most is himself in people's lives. he tells their stories and the horrors

they've experienced, so that their sacrifices are not in vain. but sometimes the reality is too brutal and the images unbearable. oh my god, to say, we don't want to publish the pitches quite work, but we can't publish them. but what we're at warren wants to know what this war is doing to the people fighting it. so he saw dances among churchgoers like from father mercury's ukrainian orthodox congregation. the clergyman is steadfast, any support of the ukrainian. so did a renewal and hoops in constant contact with the front, where he's convinced they're fighting for all of europe one year from our he feels his country has been betrayed by their brothers in face on the ground. you will see the russian orthodox church is like a tumor, ravaging our nation's body in many towns. they welcomed the occupiers with bread

and salt. when this won't, you won't. you put you under have been priests who want to talk their whole congregations into surrendering liberals, painted crosses on the russian tanks. young you're not. is old. we accompanied warren to the russian orthodox clergyman, father nicholas, and we wanted to know where does he stand in this difficult situation? yeah, actually if you're not a religious person, i put all my hope in god's mercy. may he bring his peace easier, but of course i believe in the defendable or the ukrainian army unusable. they have a great duty lipper tank the home last what that are well below he seems terribly kind hearted, but he was done talking politics. if his church was pursuing its own agenda behind closed doors, we could not find out. warren doesn't pass judgment with these images.

his aim is to understand all sides of the conflict. and he would also show the russian side, he says, the nick of paul, it's little stories that describe the big picture. women just as they are who left their homes in don bus. they're paying the price for the war and waiting inigo to see what's next for them. or done watching, pigeonholed state, things that it was very sad back at home so. so we didn't have any water for 70 days and the gas was turned off for the ocean to hello. so license hard there because the bakers can't make bread without gasoline to put it in the hall. and so just like that arena here and nickel, many others are waiting for the war to end. why not? i was not out of the war and without winning of course, long leave ukraine level ranger warren richardson feels it's the children that suffer most from the war. because they're the ones who

have to build their lives among ruins and on the run. in the next generation where they take on bitterness, i don't know when i take on diplomacy, i have no idea. i would really hope that things are set in place for them that allows them to have some sort of understanding that they can live for future. as opposed to live in fear while another employee may prove things, battlefields is the gas war which could leave many people across europe in, during a tough winter. so to prevent the russian leader from having the whole continent at his mercy, people in the netherlands have been looking more closely at their own reserves. they're located in the hunting and gas field up in the northeast of the country, which is viewed as the biggest of its kind in europe. but that might sound good, but there are problems. young whittaker's damaged house is being

strengthened to withstand future earthquakes. it's a complex operation. on decent tail, this part of the building, we've all ready to periscope and g. you can see it here. era. i android holds the warm our and the inner part of the building to get own desk of boy dish to salmon health. another section had to be completely torn down and visit the house was damaged in the aftermath of a strong earthly huffman. twill euro groningen where gas extraction has triggered tremors for decades on the other daughter, it was horrible. all, everything was moving. there was a huge noise slim as well. oh, oh, there was one loud bang by bell i mile went on to go here. it's a huge long little. it was a beautiful house and when we were happy in it and we are, we run down mitchell for in the earthquake almost caused the collapse of the more than 100 year old bon as well. it's roof is now reinforced by steel beams.

millichap kept a record of the earthquakes which began in the region in the 19 class marsh. the once and read was serious. some great screen. over 3 point is under which the scale is been and government. in the launch, i began to record the earth whigs. line is 994 store and i stopped in 2015 and as ram. sure, because there was so many or toys i'm but this lily would have gone all the way to the ground, right. beaches in gordon. the earthquakes of lead to more than a $160000.00 damages claims to date, which prompted the dutch government to scale by gas production. and take a decision to close down the gas field by next year. but the russian invasion of ukraine and slashing of gas close to europe has thrown those plans into question. the dutch government is now considering tapping the field, still ample reserves in case of a gas emergency in winter. marquee on mulder is an energy expert at the university

of crone. again, he believes it's possible to temporally res, output the groaning and field to get the residents on board as well. for if you look at the failure, which a could earn from is a could make by selling, producing, growling cash and selling solar market risk yokes. that you only use a small part of got these revenues to compensate all habitants of original groningen at the expense of bit higher risk of griggs because they still exist. so this will be the best the solution for, for everyone. what we've got correction wall, but there's also correction ceiling, but residents and groaning and don't trust those promises quick and appropriate compensation has until now been a distant dream for me. we made a new claim. marianna tori has been petitioning authorities for 6 years to recognise and be for the damage she says was caused by gas extraction and pull down the house if needed. she still waiting for a decision. the damage, meanwhile,

is growing. there is a type of damage that, that we see a lot. and it's the one that it's the sort of them that really scares me. lot of people are afraid within her next earthquake that the roof will come down and well, the beams may land on you. the issue was led to heated debate about netherlands, future energy options. local green politician justin jones says the crisis is an opportunity to ramp up alternative sources and energy efficiency and insists that extending the gaskins life should not be an option. extracting fossil fuels comes at a cost. it comes at a cost to people and it comes at a cost to nature. people think that now the gas tap is being closed. further that, that this will mean that we have no more earthquakes, even if we close by the deadline that the government has given it itself. we still have a problem here. it was should not prolong the extraction because the consequences

will just go on and on. and on in young monica's case, it took 10 years to finally get financial compensation to rebuild his home and medical notes from experience that the earthquakes will continue in the area for some time to come. done, keep that as some months where it's quiet. but then you have a new earthquake, norton, if you have new damage, you have to register it with the quarter. tell them. and the whole craziness begins again for you that all the dot state and the gas food operator have paid out over the 1000000000 euros. so far affected residents for rebuilding and sprinkling homes, none of the residents are looking forward to continuing damage to the homes. but the dutch government may be out of other options if the gas prices takes a turn for the worse in the winter. oh, very interesting. so now we go to denmark, where there are strict provisions over when a child's well being appears to be in danger. when the date state is obliged to

take action. it's a controversial practice and it is currently being hotly debated, which helps explain what happened when this young woman, 100 yards had her daughter taken away from her hand. and her husband now live here in germany, from where they're fighting for their daughter to be allowed to live with them. once again, hora is still written all over hannah shorts face. it happened 2 years ago. the danish national was on her way to germany with her family. at the danish jack point, police officers blocked their way. it was about her daughter flora of vienna, so miss owen lithium. at 1st, we were detained for over 3 hours without clearly being told what it was all about, lee by another that act is with every minute our fear and panic brew. it's hard to describe them. consider a few of them when it was clear that an 18 month old child was to be

taken away from her parents and brought to a foster family by complete strangers. i was just beside myself. all that hannah has laughed of her daughter flora awesome photos. the little girl now lives with a foster family in denmark. the reason offered was that the child's well being was in acute danger. the local authorities and hannah's home town ve bulk claimed that she and her husband came when not taking sufficient care of flora, has bath lately. figmott 1st about some apparently they pitch and hold me after i chose to give my 1st child to a foster family. when i was still very young bus on the ha, i'd think at yahoo though. but he is an expert from the youth welfare office, found that flora made unusual movements to the side and grunted at a bit of a loner lessening am thanksgiving. we took her to a doctor and he found nothing unusual on the sofa, but the local authority stuck to its assessment and made our lives more and more

difficult. come to nothing we did was good enough esa, so anything but not good. fearing for their youngest daughter, elvira, the family moved to the northern german city of flints, ball kim, as a steady john. hannah is pursuing a correspondence course. still, they fear that if they return to denmark, elvira could be taken away from them to just 2 hours away. and denmark last, chris johnson is sitting in his garden, making a phone call after witnessing traumatized danish soldiers having their children taken away. chris johnson became active as a kind of escape helper if it was avoidable, geared towards sales could have been fulfilled. sometimes i get up to 3 calls per day from people fearing a forced adoption of their children an invalid gene for global. i advised them to go abroad loaded so that demons williams zuni because as long as the authority

hasn't made a final decision about the fate of the child, i'll vote it's legal to leave the gala livelihood and more. hannah shorts local authority in denmark was not available for comment. i the danish ministry of social affairs wrote to say that they regret the flight of danish families and their children abroad. but the protection of the child comes fast flints, bogs, city, whole notes with mixed feelings. that more and more danish families are seeking refuge from their social authorities. but all new comers. all welcome. wagner, nicholas agates company, allie, you don't advertise and say, come on over here. every one very of super conditions. oh yeah, i'd rather if someone moves the floods bug and we get files that show it's a case we need to follow. then of course we have to take care of those cases over the phone. but so because we're convinced that it's good for the child to grow up and in their own family, am off with it. across the border and denmark,

youth welfare officers are defending themselves against accusations of hot heartedness. in general, coercive measures are the absolute exception. say the family support offices from admin most of your sale. we're observing that the debate on forced adoptions has led some parents being afraid to seek help from the youth welfare office. and we regret this very much beating you because you can actually appeal against a decision of the youth welfare office. said him and played it. and if you're not satisfied with the position of the next instance or easements, i guess, then you can take it to court the daily view. and that's what hannah has done. the trial is scheduled to take place in september, but she has lost all trance in the danish state. in france box. she says they've been given another chance to look for still in

a minute. does he go to meet people who can accept the he is even if i have a different opinion he, we never experienced that at home at their heaviest legal bluebell. hannah and kim are expecting their next child and want to prove that they are good parents. well, no doubt about it staying cool in paris in a heat wave is not easy. a cold bath might be one solution, having enough to drink is good to her, but not have you just create another waste problem and good for them. this summer, the parisians have come up with a solution where ecological interested shop owners jumping. stephen se mummer store is at the front of the popular district of monterey in paris. he's particularly interested in sustainability and only by his frames that have been produced ecologically. he didn't think twice when he was approached by

they owe to perry or paris water team. he shows you called on bus b o and happy to be participating from an ecological point of view at paris. i strand zillow opposite is true that horace is still quite dirty here from what be she around us. the vol. more so it's good to have less waste by filling up bottles. in the more to fall, the rogue. the city of paris is trying to cope with its waste problem by encouraging people to we use bottles. since the end of april parisians and tourists alike can fill up on fresh water at a number of stores like this cheese mongers object. you save them on our goal is clearly linked to the ecological transition and to the fight against climate change . it's a very long term approach, the bottle title, and that's why we want all parisians to mobilize for more sustainable, greener city in here. job. but there is still lots of people who don't know that

there is free water available in stores. i know that i had no idea i could do it, none at all. no, i didn't know to little toggle. so when you such, if they just have a button, okay, for limited communicate, bruce, so set off on my shoulder. most people are aware of the hundreds of outdoor drinking fountains dotted around the city. this one even has sparkling water with a pilot key from the description. it's clearly a good thing here because we've been coming here for a few months. yeah. and it's a real health and it is free water is also part and parcel of the restaurant experience in paris. if you're lucky, it might even have some refreshing maintenance. well, from that whole story from the shake was invented. people of paris, not too long this time round, don't focus on you, or if i do hope you've enjoyed the show that we've given you. take a friend,

bye. ah, ah, with

to me or not to own. what about a sharing economy instead? a change in thinking is changing the economy to create something new

the economics magazine. it may be in germany in 30 minutes on d. w. come on, let's be honest, summer break, it just doesn't really much. does it without the bond is legal. well, don't worry. it will start up again soon, does leader football action goals all in on kickoff, august right here on t w, i finally did it with the journey across the entire continent with a variety of cars. so was this so all the focus, the movers,
