the mediterranean, ah, it's waters connect people of many cultures. seen of almost rock enter far do kareem drift along with exploring modern lifestyles and mediterranean where has history left its traces meeting legal hearing their dreams of mediterranean journey intent. it starts august 14th on d. w. ah, with oh, no war. 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 their 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 my friends feel, i have no other option and continued to attempt the journey in overcrowded. often unsee were thebes, there is also a route to europe from africa by land, and its 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 don, witness these brutal scenes 1st, that the number of people like him who risk their lives fleeing to europe is likely to rise as the war in ukraine has intensified the threat of famine in many african countries ah g 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. oh, a true 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 back to hit you. you can see the people here, most of them that injures they're not hurting themselves. they the bullies hid them through the heat you even in the floor. it's use homework, you know,

after you know, kathy, if you don't know anything, you come move they, they will leave you. if you can move there will hit you tell you. you can move. for now, a true has a place to sleep in the band and swore in casablanca, moroccan security forces, left him and others did in these migrants hear hundreds of kilometers from the border. but a true, also plain 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 inter inside to pull you out? was the meagre and they sing bait, they make it after they cross the border, then they send them back to morrow. across the border in melia, local journalist, javier on gusto has seen it all. while he says spanish officials tried to block the

roads into the border area or the reporter shows us how he made his way across. and he confirms a truth account. with a radical mark, i saw 30 or 40 migrants make it across the border, heavier lower than they were pushed back to the other side. it will 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 regions mere president and confront him with the accusation. for them gospel, have you got alcohol? 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 all has an impact realty. i latoya literate malea

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 has been no political consequences of the june 24th tragedy. morocco and rocca 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. schindler, elevator leslie muffin, 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 moment,

thought the moroccans let it come to this matter, monica, now to have to explain themselves, look, united or african neighbors, structural me. he showed up also they have to take responsibility. so that myself to come back in morocco, a truen is not deterred. he still has only one goal to cross the border into malea . i will try again on drag at wherever. 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 you can enter the army on work as illegal war a truen and the other is we'll try to get by somehow on food donations from the neighbors and to hold out until they one day reach europe.

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 beg, breakaway regents of south the seizure, 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 it's a rock flew out 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 gig 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 bad. 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 and the caucasus mountains as part of georgia. it proclaimed independence 30 years ago, but heavily relies on russian aid russian money control, south o city. 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 change is 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, mess up. did i do? so i'm scared of the russians. the russian army is just 5 kilometers from us. have audited yet. and even though no russian soldiers have come to my village yet, um, we all live in constant fear, which is what i should owe me, especially after the russians invaded ukraine. marcus 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 tbilisi chooses to attack its own critics like the protest movement . shame that marianna giggled, jots a co founded when the you declined to grant george a candidate status, shame didn't blame brussels. they blamed their own government. the protesters accused tbilisi 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. and that these people want our country to drown and mass protests and turmoil untrue to all, to end in a war with russia. hello, sada has thus declined vanessa. but we're not going to let it happen. hola, doesn't there garcia. be either all over the bullets or dinner their propaganda machine is also working very well. and if you look further, everyone can notice that it is so similar to russia for, pardon?

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, destroying georgia culture, destroying georgia 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. and was like a tiny part of me still hold it for something late. 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, that is a 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 of naples, especially the poor districts like son, giovanni, didn't show this is were it, maria, that is, i am. but our to add her fellow, campaigners are an acting real resistance against organized crime. and it's our to do with energy, a lot of good energy residents called the brooks the per district of san giovanni. i to do to you 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 that noir thought it was good to start from dinner because we want a socially fair energy transition. and what we do that we must fight climate change and social injustice together when it gets back on in here. and that's what we've done here for sharlack when i looked at it either way, 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. but there are 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 greenish 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 sounding any, our weapons are books or musical instruments and even solar panels, one v for the water. 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 share with key. it makes me happy thought because it least were doing something for the climate chum. i told my momma that it's good for the environment in there. and you also save money, i guess old pasquale cheer. yellow has been working for the foundation for 20 years . but for him it's about much more than alternative energy. if you're 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 neighbourhood where there are many ugly things that she's on. but there's also something beautiful or was i've been no of, we've had a place where you can do theater and music and she's all good with our people who will listen to you and the ones who can help you when you have opportunities here. one more point for me though, 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 know that we thought he was able to go home, but when we dying of getting a studied 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 not know,

but this time we are the 1st are, will only mani was south, didn't thing in north the facility cost $100000.00 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 i think with 2nd week, i never done this energy community represents a new path where this 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 here. 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 beans 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 that my them we only have meat on special occasions now, danny, we can't afford it any more at these prices. how could we

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. them belong? well my father used to easily feed his 12 children on one salary. and that was on minimum wage out nowadays you can't even feed one child in that salary. why is it like that? why are we in the situation? what camille? no more 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 visit my home. it under the man. forget about a 10 both. it's it. the bride's family, once 3 or 4 gold bracelets, his dowry hyster donna, i asked a jeweler that's 90000 lire. you do so how can afford that kinda,

how can i get married on a realistic though, and i can't even think about having children, but most of them, most of you did most. evelyn, in 8 of them live in a small house and a poor neighbourhood, a vist envil, sharing 3 rooms. the parents receive a small pension to dear works, as a car mechanic earning minimum wage could dear. 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 kadijah. that hardly makes a difference model. why didn't tell think, because right after that's the prices of goods went up as well, longer 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 vision i the election is coming up next year, and heir to 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 without a ambushed her 1st and foremost of it. we have supported production in all areas. so it doesn't come to a standstill and getting limited and we don't have a fall in employment. this is almost 30500000 people are currently employed. only a clutch must export figures are hovering around $250000000000.00. since, you know this proves our efforts are working in the fall out is enormous. few benefit in many suffer. the central bank should raise interest rates drastically to curb inflations, as economists, personal dairy change and good. but the presidencies interest rates themselves as

the root of all evil, or they are making an experiment or reducing inflation by helping to strengthen fado ah, hiking them. marriage love is to boost production, increase efficiency, but the mathematics of economics doesn't work that fe. 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. 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. eula, 1st a pandemic, and now this, it's not easy. who are the types are not math class, they can barely pay their bills. so they take to the streets in protest against the skyrocketing cost of living and launch petitions against rising remo. he 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 magnitude. it is longer your home 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. it means everyone to pockets those big profits as if 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 erewhon 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 a little concerned to khadija and his family right now. they want the government to finally think about people like them. he feels there's no real future in turkey anymore. anyone who can is packing their bags of

a fulfilled also that 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, 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 what you see behind me here. but a few 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 in 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 tourists from talon on sarah. mm huh. 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, i mean yes me. they also learned that hedgehog huron was used as i drops. i so i don't want any one's urine in my eyes on him. i go on a dry toads were hung under the roof to keep away the plague and warm oil

apparently strengthened the immune system. in the cellar brackets explains another sales strategy of the medi eva pharmacist. customers were given strong y spiced red wine to lift the spirits and loosened the tongue that i could scan them while the customers could offload their worries and re been in the mood to buy some pharmaceutical remedies. yes, he some think, i don't mean a taste like port or mold wine, mickey to wooden, for those weren't sure about viper arrangements and bats. blood modern medications are sold next door. one ancient remedy can still be bought and talon council pharmacy marcy pon occupant. it's my tip and mars it 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,
