the mediterranean, ah, it's waters connect people of many cultures. seen it almost rock and to far abdul karim drift along with exploring modern lifestyles and mediterranean youth. where has history left its traces, meeting legal hearing their dreams, a mediterranean journey intent. it starts august 14th on d, w. ah, hello and her wall. welcome to focus on europe. aside from the war in ukraine, another disaster continues to play out across europe. migrants from africa are

still dying on the dangerous journey across the sea. this year alone, hundreds of people have died or disappeared without a trace on the high seas as they try to reach the coveted destination of europe. despite that many migrants feel, i have no other option and continued to attempt the journey in overcrowded. often unsee will thebes, there is also a route to europe from africa by land, and it's no less dangerous as a recent tragedy in melia shows. the spanish ex clave in north africa borders with morocco. dozens of migrants died in june. try to cross from there into melia, a truen from so darn witness these brutal scenes 1st, that the number of people like him who risk their lives fling to europe is likely to rise. as the war in ukraine has intensified the threat of famine in many african countries, ah,

june 24th at the border to maliyah. this eye witness footage allegedly shows moroccan border guards beating hundreds of african migrants who had tried to cross the border from morocco to spain in a mass surge. in the end, there were at least $27.00 africans dead and dozens of police injured. o, a troon from sudan was there at the time. he's already tried 10 times to reach europe . he never thought he would experience a disaster like this. the heating people because as a warning, the telling you never come by the hit you. you can see the people here, most of them that injures. yeah, no teeth hurting themselves. they the bullies had been 0. they had you even in the floor. it's use homework after you nor kathy. if you don't know

anything, you come move they, they will leave you. if you can move, there will hit you till you can move. for now, a true has a place to sleep in abandons for. in casa blanca, moroccan security forces left him and others did in these migrants here. hundreds of kilometers from the border. but a true, also brains, spanish police. he says he's been on european soil before to apply for refugee protection. but the security forces still forcibly deported him. they send you back to the morrow, kin. sometimes they are allowed to morrow. can police to enter inside to pull you all was the meagre and they sing date, they make it after they cross the border, then they send them back to morrow. across the border in malea, local journalist, javier on gusto. have seen it all my life. he says,

spanish officials tried to block the roads into the border area. the reporter shows us how he made his way across, and he confirms a true account. with a radical mark, i saw 30 or 40 migrants make it across the border of yellow rather than they were pushed back to the other side that it would be that one had the chance to apply for asylum. huh. brooklyn willow buffalo that would violate international law. most of the migrants came from sudan and chad. citizens from both of these countries have good prospects of obtaining asylum where we meet the regents mere president and confront him with the accusation or even guttural. i've got helpful there may have been one or 2 cases. so many tried to cross the border here, but everybody is worried. it talk on the war, the rising grain prices, the hunger crisis. milam, luna, this law has an impact realty. i latoya literate maliyah,

a city of some 90000 people is one of the few places in europe with a direct land border with africa. people frequently tried to scale the 12 kilometer long fence. those who make it usually head for the city central reception center. we're not allowed to film behind the high walls, and none of the migrants will speak on camera. journalist and go still can not stand why there have been no political consequences of the june 24th tragedy. morocco and rocco was just doing her dirty work on that. no. we prefer to be seen as a shining example of human rights manual. but he didn't know marie as mere president is also critical of the cooperation with morocco, but sees no wrongdoing by spain. she implement vegan rid of leslie muffin and she said, just look at the brutal film footage that should never have happened. american, it did not, but it happened on the moroccan side, not the spanish momento,

the moroccans let it come to this demo, monica now to have to explain themselves, looking onto their african neighbors structural me. he showed up also they have to take responsibility with myself to come back in morocco. a truen is not deterred. he still has only one goal to cross the border into malea. i would try again on dragging at we have nothing is done as a use. we have no opportunity to, to develop our self or to war. even if you study, you can work dead there. one choice in sudan even yukon, entered the army or walk as illegal war a truen and the others will try to get by somehow and food donations from the neighbors. and to hold out until they one day reach here up.

the majority of georgians also want to join europe, the european union, and as soon as possible, like ukraine, their country is a neighbor of russia conflict as brewing over the russian bag, breakaway regents of south america. it up cause yell at many georgians. are worried about being pu tins, next target, young activist. now young, big wood, johnson is doing everything she can to clear george's path into the you. but is her rock throughout? ah, yes, to europe. tens of thousands of georgians marched through the capital of tbilisi. after the e you declined to give their country candidate status. they think it's their government's fault, and they're demanding the administration step down. marianna, giggled. chatty, is in the midst of it. all. she sees europe is more than being geographically close to the west to her europe is the future and she's made it her life's mission to

fight for it. i think that georgia deserves to be a proud member off you up in union, but i know that there are a lot of problems today, and that's why i'm also doing my best and just leaving for these changes. ah maria, pico chatty, says, one of the problems is george is neighbor, russia. she took us to an area where the issue was quite apparent at the border with a partially recognized separatist republic of south or city. most of the international community views the territory in the caucasus mountains, as part of georgia. it proclaimed independence 30 years ago, but heavily relies on russian aid russian money control south of santia. the russian military is stationed there. and after russia's attack on ukraine, georgians fear they may be next

with it took 2 and a half hours to reach the destination. the village of continuity lies right on the border with south of santia. and the people complain the border here changes constantly. they say russian soldiers keep occupying new parts of georgia and the border even runs straight through the fields of some farms i've doin less up. did i do? so i'm scared of the russians. the russian army is just 5 kilometers from us. hamish order of the job. yeah. and even though no russian soldiers have come to my village yet done, we all live in constant fear, which is what our english should owe me. especially after the russians invaded ukraine. mag this opened the central government in tbilisi is also afraid of conflict with russia and prefers to stay neutral. georgia may have

officially condemned the war, but they're not participating in the western sanctions against the kremlin. instead, the government in tbilisi chooses to attack its own critics like the protest movement. shame that marianna giggled, jots a co founded when you declined to grant george a candidate status, shame didn't blame brussels. they blamed their own government. the protesters accused to belushi of doing too little and appeasing russia. i of a song. but politicians are striking back. come sockets when the civil says another by me to another that these people want our country to drown and mass protests and turmoil. and for it all to end in a war with russia hapless order has thus declined vanessa. but we're not going to let it happen. hola, doesn't the garcia be either all over the bullets or daily their propaganda machine is also working very well. and if you look further, every one can notice that it is so similar to russia for prolong many people here

think russian president putin will not stop with ukraine. they fear he may target georgia because it was once part of the soviet union. and putin may be trying to restore russia's former glory, the only country that's been a hindering, gorgeous development to destroying gorgeous culture, destroying george and tradition, george and religion, the only countries russia, mario and her cohort say that's exactly why the, you should have sent a message to russia and granted georgia candidate status, they were deeply disappointed by the decision from brussels. oh, it was one of the said his days of my life. i remember me because i realized that i'm still in optimus inside and probably at one, but like a tiny part of me still hold for something lay amazing to happen. i don't know. ah,

but she hasn't given up hope and she plans to keep on fighting until ga one day becomes a member of the european union. oh, also campaigning for change is maria. it is i in but outdoor in italy. she wants better prospects for the people in her home, city of naples, especially the children. the camera is rife, in many neighborhoods, south naples, especially the poor districts like son, giovanni, didn't show. this is, were it, maria, that is, i am, but auto and her fellow campaigners are an acting real resistance against organized crime. and it's all to do with energy, a lot of good energy residents called the brooks the per district of san giovanni. i to do cio in the eastern suburbs of naples. the district is grouped by poverty on employment of the mafia. but it's here that

natalie's energy revolution began thought paranoia thought it was good to start from dinner because we want a socially air energy transition that we do, that we must fight climate change and social injustice together when he gets back on in fear. and that's what we've done here for shall acquainted a lot. that is why yon set italy's 1st energy community was created on the roof of this building. 166 solar panels produce electricity for 40 families. energy has become part of a social project here. the former or frontage of the familiar d. maria foundation is a drop in center for families. a place where children can go to save them from exploitation by the camera, with a risks involved. 3 out of the home, up on this whole comes from a bullet fired in front of the entrance of the foundation, yet hit this wall with all a blatant sign of organized crime. one of the big problems here,

then the dish that they want to show that places like this or not wanted a cd because we educate the children to respect the laws. i do about timing and our weapons, our books are musical instruments and even solar panels. one, then the for the old back, gennaro is 11 years old. he comes to the foundation every day and it's made him an environmental activist. children play an important role. they're the ones who persuaded the parents to participate in the energy project. crash her claim. we installed more solar panels here by hand over there now. and also on this side shed key. that makes me happy. so because at least we're doing something for the climate . cham, i told my momma that it's good for the environment in death. and you also save money, i guess old pasquale cheery low has been working for the foundation for 20 years. but for him it's about much more than alternative energy. cutting that out. i got

seductive. we try to give these kids a chance that at that we tell them that, okay, this is a difficult neighborhood. there are many ugly things that she's on. but there's also something beautiful was i've been though we've had a place where you can do theater and music and she's all of it were. there are people who will listen to you and the ones who can help you when you have opportunities here. why not for me, doc, whether it's for football, environment workshop or making music over a 100 kids come every day in all seasons that are on that gonna show us what you've got. yeah. wow. i thought he was able to go home. but when we dying of getting a solid on it, we want the electricity project to show families that we care about in senior. the 1st energy community was not created in the city center. but here anybody in naples east will me. we're the 1st to do it or plaintiffs. finally, the residents no longer see themselves as the last ones. the forgotten ones who always get the leftovers?

no, no. this time we are the 1st time we'll only manny was south, didn't thing, and i was the facility cost 100000 euros, financed by the canal, sued foundation. the families are now entrepreneurs, not only used electricity, but also sell it for several months. now the facility has been producing green electricity at the foot of a service on seat with family dynamic daddy, this energy community represents a new path with his district at no, not yet. there are still many unsolved environmental and social problems, and the mafia is still present and acting, but this is fine and then a positive story. he's following their example. in the next few months, dozens of new energy communities are to be set up all over southern italy the cost of living crisis has hit turkey hard people there are spending exorbitant

amounts even on staple foods like brit turned up, paying almost 80 percent more on average than this thumb last year for everything they need to live, it's the week currency that's driving prices up more than anything president air tuan, is doing to little and above all the wrong things to curb inflation, se turkish economists. meanwhile, families are becoming increasingly desperate as they try to make ends meet. nacia is preparing dinner for the whole family. there's rice with bean soup and a fresh salad. meat is usually part of a turkish meal as well. but right now, that's out of the question. why down on my them we only had meat on special occasions now, danny, we can't afford it any more at these prices. how could we love

germany is currently experiencing 7 or 8 percent inflation, but these are numbers that turkey can only dream of. prices have risen by almost 80 percent within a year. officially, the economists say it's much more how will this an o everything is extremely expensive. energy, rent, and food? yeah. been mobile. well my father used to easily feed his 12 children on one salary hybrid. and that was on minimum wage. nowadays you can't even feed one child in that salary. why is it like that? why are we in this situation? what camille? well, that he does is married and has a daughter for her brother, her dear. it's not an option, right? now a wedding would cost many months wages. uh huh. a lender then forget about a 10 both. it's it. the bride's family, once 3 or 4 gold bracelets, his dairy hyster donna, i asked a jeweler that's 90000 lire. get do so how can afford that?

yeah, how can i get married, helped on a realistic though, and i can't even think about having children. but most of them, most of you did most airline in 8 of them live in a small house in a poor neighbourhood. a vist emblem, sharing 3 rooms. the parents receive a small pension to dear works as a car mechanic earning minimum wage could year. and one of his brothers are the only ones bringing money home. there are many families in the same situation in turkey with too little to live on. around 60 percent of all employees work in the low wage sector. many on minimum wage. the government has just raised the minimum wage for the 2nd time this year, to $5500.00 lira about $310.00 euros for idea. it hardly makes a difference. amazon, i didn't tell it because right after that's the prices of goods went up as well as long guns will no longer than that,

no matter where you look. although everything is more expensive, it just isn't enough. 15500. it's impossible. his from vision i the election is coming up next year and error one must be worried about holding on. for him only the economy counts, growth at any cost. inflation is rising, but interest rates remain low at the behest of the presidential palace. she gives it comes out at a m busta 1st and foremost that we have supported production in all areas. so it doesn't come to a standstill and getting limited, and we don't have a fallen employment. he says domains 30500000 people are currently employed. only a clutch must export figures are hovering around $250000000000.00. machine disproves our efforts are working in the fall out is enormous. few benefit and many suffer. the central bank should raise interest rates drastically to curb inflations, as economists, personal dairy general. but the presidencies, interest rates themselves as the root of all evil,

or they are making an experiment or reducing inflation by helping to stay instead of a hiking them. marriage love is to boost production, increase efficiency. but the mathematics of economic does not work. that they we can't get away is the name of a platform that she hon, lian mc, helped to build. he studies engineering and is currently writing his doctoral thesis, is like the initiatives goal is to show people that others are going through the same struggles song. and again, people feel abandoned with their problems as they don't know how they're going to get by. and they just keep retreating. one 1st, a pandemic and now dis, it's not easy who are taught it. so i not math class, they can barely pay their bills. so they take to the streets and protest against the skyrocketing cost of living and launch petitions against rising revenue doing. and it's not simple in a country where the power of the state dominates everything. but they tell it like,

it is often the candidate longer the hulu, when fuel bills shut up on that, we made people aware the customers are being charged $0.21 for $0.30 of electricity . bill. that's 7 times the price. you lose everyone to pockets those big profits as the energy companies in the other room. their main demands are for energy companies to be nationalized, more social housing and aid for farmers. but they probably won't be met on the international stage president, everyone presents himself as a strong leader and divert attention away from the problems back home. for example, in his resistance to finland and sweden joining nato for your leadership and the strong. but that's of little concern to khadija and his family right now. you know, they want the government to finally think about people like them, how he feels, there's no real future in turkey. any war?

anyone who can is packing their bags of other resources. earth, i'm good at the 1st chance i get. i'm leaving you today. i'm stuck here for the moment, but i want to get out of the modules or before i want to head to england. germany, france. 8 i don't care where i go. well, i just want to get away home. no flesh itch, and then buddha humble lincoln, not much is expected to change before the elections next year. everyone assumes prices will go on rising and they have no idea where this is all leading. so what do you buy when you go to the pharmacy? maybe not necessarily where you see behind me here. but if you 100 years ago, a scorpion like this was considered a veritable remedy. and there was much more besides. if you're looking for somewhere quickie to visit in northern europe and the estonian capital of talent, you can immerse yourself from the world of miracle cures from times gone by.

ah, a stuffed crocodile was a must for any self respecting pharmacy in the middle ages. anything exotic was considered to remedy at a council pharmacy and tollen. estonia also used it to woo customers. medicines have been sold here in the building opposite the town hall since 1422 in the museum next door. burger to lun mets explains. the tourist from talon on ceremony. what was sold back then? i can say hedgehog spines were late and smoked as he believed it purified the buildings aura, and protected against disease hedgehog incense. you could say wow. i mean yes at me . they also learned that hedgehog urine was used as i drops. i so i don't want any one's urine in my eyes. cinema looks like a lot of dried toads were hung under the roof to keep away the plague and warm oil

apparently strengthened the immune system. in the cellar, burkett's explains another sales strategy of the many evil pharmacist customers were given strong. my spiced red wine to lift the spirits and loosened the tongue that i could come away. the customers could offload their worries and revenge in the mood to buy some pharmaceutical remedies. yes, he some think, i mean a range of taste like port or mold wine, nikisha wooden, for those weren't sure about viper infants and bats blood. modern medications are sold next door. one ancient remedy can still be bought and talon council pharmacy marcy pon i to finance must've been mars, can improve your mood and help against heart rate lawyer, but of them and in small doses, it's completely harmless. oh yeah. 600 years of pharmaceutical knowledge,

alive and well and tollen. finally, medicine that's tastes good. that's all we have time for today. thank you for watching. from everyone here. i focus on your good bye. you next. with

who into the conflict with sebastian? little is known about the inner workings of the kremlin, especially with vladimir putin in power. but my guess is weak former prime, if somebody can work with me and he knows what happens behind the

close pool with the russian government. a conflict with his father was an anonymous or whose identity was a well kept secret. but very stevens didn't give up. after a long search, he found his father and match some of his $600.00 hosted names. now he's on a quest to end amendment to the well biggest family in 75 minutes on d, w a i thought it's

a journey across the entire continent. it's a variety of cod. so what on this so well the focus, the move is shake is visionaries. and made when body the meaning of modern africa is actually starting august the 5th on d w. now red alert. ah, this isn't just route. this is a rid, if a cation, we're going to have some epic. moreover, water, the water is becoming a scarce commodity, isn't worth dying of thirst. but global struggle for water. thirst distorts august 10th. oh, d w ah

ah, ah ah, oh. this is dana with news line from berlin. china stepped up as military activity around taiwan, beijing puts on its biggest show of force around the island in decades following of controversial visit by u. s. house speaker, nancy pelosi also coming up.
