is still a privilege. tardy is one of the main causes. some young children work in mind, troughs. instead of going to class others can attend classes only after they finish working. williams of children all over the world can't go to school. we ask why? because education makes the world more just make up your own mind. d. w. made for mines a. ah ah hello, and welcome to focus on europe. it's good to have you with us. there's no end inside the war and ukraine almost a year has passed since the war began. and as in back more the eastern part of the

country is constantly under attack by russian forces. as the war continues, propaganda has become increasingly important for them because the russian president is raising war with weapons and woods. and this is very concerning for neighboring lot. we are the border city of the 2nd. it is home to many ethnic russians who often have close ties to russia. lottery and maria de bisco feels that many of them are influenced by pollutants propaganda. she's afraid that this could fracture the latvian community, hey, the ukrainians are using our in your children. wagner's soldiers arrived along the latvian russian border. many latvians here receive russian state television and with it putins propaganda via satellite and internet.

it is lucas, a lot of them were load of missiles. dear friends, that be drowned, the children drown them. there'll be nuclear war threats of war, drift across the border from russia that worries maria to beat sca like her one in for latvians has a russian background and speaks russian. the war and ukraine has been polarizing latvia more and more since it began with it. i'm sorry, we're losing our friends. we're losing our neighbors. it her. the propaganda is like a poison that divides our society. clay was 66 year old maria and her son janice, have lots of russian friends and acquaintances. russian media is blocked in latvia, but russian speakers have found ways to listen in. and since the invasion of ukraine, a war of information has been raging full blast, they say. a music video by deputy to the duma dennis my down of on russian sate television, extols the power of the so marked missile,

able to deliver nuclear warheads. as far as the united states usually came to plead the issue, new, new all at once. president vladimir put in turns up with a direct threat to use them. yes. for human kind, it'll be a global disaster. well, for the world, it will be a disaster for what we need the world for. if there's no russia gwinnett, he said, i'm going to pursue a demonstration of russian power is directed at nato. there are many people in eastern latvia who feel closely tied to russia, says maria, to beat sca ever been in the blue. she feels differently to me as the latvian, she's proud that her country is now a member of the you instead of the soviet union. her father was once deported to siberia. she says, the war in ukraine is bringing back sinister memories. forever. a cut,

the chest le deserves it looked like some of the people here are expecting war thought, that's completely absurd. well, i d as a going around about the soviet union making a comeback, roof, and now summer, even hoping russia will come here to an all these politics a broadcast straight into the heads of people here. what i'm here with. so i'm not that i'm clear with the image that i saw one of them to do this kind of soviet nostalgic fantasy as being resurrected in a resignation, especially among people who feel left behind the highway connecting reagan. moscow runs through here, nearly half the towns people are russians, speakers, and many of them find ways to watch the band rush and state television even of since the war broke out. if you will admit it, are you satisfied with the russian media? very satisfied with ready, how would you evaluate the quality you excuse me, i must go loss of nowadays. it's better to leave this question unanswered. but yet you're afraid to express your opinion too. from the firm at the mouth with hatred

looked at the grumpy only. i yeah, i watch latvian television law group. what of what goes sites of propaganda? experts claimed that russian propaganda is trying to influence the large russian minority and latvia and drive a wedge into society. but that could also be an over generalization, russian speaking population, the latter is not homogeneous. there are people, they are stubborn. they don't want to learn language and they have more like pro kremlin leaning opinions versus there is the whole generation who was born and raised during the independent times. and they are quite loyal. a european thinking though they of course use russia language in their households. latvia is an especially exposed position on nato's outer edge. another point, the propaganda doesn't miss. as an example, on

a talk show on russian state television, a former military officer spells out how russia could invade latvia and the other 2 baltic republics step by step. further, when they receive lillian glasgow glitter of co, the co leningrad, army corps and the bel russian forces close to sir falcon corridor. miracle wired smoke as good. he thought at nobody me a man symbol tenuously that troops from the western military district pushing to estonia, latvia, unless the wagner liberal and you government is foreign to last year, with the way now under stony latin you, with the national people's republic of austonia, healthcare, american national people's republic of latvia and the national people's republic of lithuania is probably sought talk like that is meant to send messages of fear. but maria, to beat sca won't be intimidated and she's demanding that the state do more to stop russian propaganda with. i think it's probably we want to live in freedom of it,

but we don't want to be ruled by anyone if we have the right to live in self determination, yet that's very important. maria, do bits cuz hoping she won't lose any more friends and acquaintances. she enjoys have free time in the countryside, far away from russian propaganda. now let me introduce you to an all inspiring berman philomena france. in 1943, she was sent to the nazi all schwartz concentration camp. while most of her family was killed in the concentration camp, philomena managed to save herself from the gas chambers. she had mustered up, the car is still thing in front of her tormentors. just a few weeks ago, philomena france took her last breath. east 100. ah oh sure its concentration come. between 19401945. the nazis murdered more than

a 1000000 people here. the majority of whom were jewish, but many among them were roma and 70. like philomena, france, who until her recent diff, kept burn testimony to the torture and humiliation she witnessed and outfits isn't either far on mentioning, you know, it was inhumane ninty, but i can, oh, we were kept in the barracks down below. but the crematorium where people were burned was above us. and yet i'm and our barracks just underneath with the that's where i was held to. but somehow, nia, my time was not up loud enough. neetha in the almost her entire family was murdered by the nazis. philomena, france herself, was only 21 years old when she was deported to outfits. there she experienced the nazis delusional racist practices. first hand to hand them, he has the money. they began by measuring my noses. you on my ears,

miss everything was measured, roared, it was all racism thinking, nothing else mattered to them. listener alice, they wanted to know the origin of the scent he and so on and he won't yet listen. warranty thing, t. yes, her common on so either but philomena, france grew up and stood cart. she came from a famous family of musicians who had lived in germany for centuries. like many other cindy. oh, you hum one to the music master i made music green. we made our money in an honest way, went off, and we had a nice house in stuttgart by mouth to my back. then when i was a dull me 12 or 13 years old, i was already singing on stage to be negotiated on that because i went back by an orchestra and though i used to sing this song, i haven't given a damn boy, none would say the poor 30 even dead.

oh shem, thus with ah ah, the very song that would save her life when heinrich himmler came to visit outfits . the infamous chief of the s s. wanted the prisoners to perform their music for him. and they knew what that could mean. darcy since they led, since she was our last chance to avoid leaving through that chimney up there. and they told us he if, if those of you who can play them don't satisfy this man now. and then we're all done for in the me don't on to gordon and got a stroke of luck on the hill. i knew the song. well yeah, because i always sang the newest student was even at home at the gather, the cup, but then the camp leader gave orders to unlock the barracks where the prisoners instruments were stored for them in ireland and arms,

they brought all the instruments to send on i had a whole orchestra and a harlow. everything wonderful. and what we practiced for 3 whole days from my concern on turner and finally, heavier than the fleet, i sang the song, the one he had wished for them. and then together with the orchestra by one the beautiful fur musing. i had my tears running down my face. if the orchestra was heavenly, yours would pass before philomena. france was able to talk about all the scorn and torments you endured during this time. but finally, the urge to speak out and tell the world about her experiences prevailed. she began to write and make public appearances as an eye witness in the media, in schools and institutions. she told of the atrocities committed by the nazis. ah, said celia, in even 2 years,

i thought about what could possibly bring people to throw children into the cremation of and in front of their mother's eyes to commit such a human crimes as the unborn give. i thought she received many awards, including germany's cross of merit, and never stopped reaching out to you people when you die, a theme of, you know, when i told my story and gave letters, hugo given the students would cry be no sure. i wanted to visit schools more than anything and the happy that i thought you have to start with a younger generation, a film, the old ones are set in their ways and they're already messed up of. but you can still make something out of the young. the good will prevail philomena fronts remained convinced that until the very end, she found strength in the christian faith. and despite all her suffering, she left no space for hatred. lindsey mother was mid can when you have been through something like that outfits. those big camps, then you say to yourself,

why did i hate well homes only should i continue doing what the others did? should i hate them? hm. hate is not optionally de haflin with his. the hath 50 death can honey honey, honey hudson. when we are hath of it we hate. we lose ged bethany. love is a blessing for us humans. when if we don't have love gain, we give up our spirit and our virtue and b 2 and then we'll last that then we'll put her on. oh, a partial message from an incredible woman, 100 years, philomena, france an important message that we should all remember moving on. when you think of france, you have to think about its cafe is and best throws. they are, after all, the hallmark of the french way of life for many french people. the best rule is

almost like a 2nd living room on a home, away from home, or should not are the same. they were the number of mr than france. isn't constant decline, and with that obese, all french culture is disappearing to an association and bodies is fighting to keep this best throw culture alive its members. consider the best through an important cultural asset that shouldn't be preserved. this at the crack of dawn in paris, the 1st sign of life comes from the visitors. they used to be a parisian trademark. but today they're becoming increasingly rare site off on 10 has been running as bestow for over 20 years. and now has an association that wants to seek unesco protection. chris stablish means like his goal of controlling the beast through culture means that you can talk about anything about the important stuff as well as the trivial what's included. but for that,

the ambience must be right. and it can't be too tidy. so his boy, none went beast dro, has the so there's lots of stuff that belong to my family here, like my father's helmet and old family photos. nothing. but whether the main theme is family, love or politics for many the best her on the corner as like a 2nd home open from early morning until late at night. yeah. oh wow. i'm always chatting to everyone here. it's a great place to meet people. library schools is the piece dro, stuns for shronda reeves. it's a place where you can wind and simply feel good about life, especially you know that the, the end eat well. a stake. tar. tar, for example, at any time of the day. but on the outside,

the world has changed drastically. 40 years ago, there were 5 times as many biz chosen france as to day. owners are hoping that if unesco grants world heritage status to the small bist rose, it might turn the tide. and though there wouldn't be any direct money in it for the owners, the best her was a world heritage site would surely make for good advertising. advertising that the fast food chains could only dream of. the age old city of paris is in high demand. and the big fish are putting more and more bist i was out of business. influenza light flowing on air are drawn to a very different type of restaurant. he is constantly scanning the city for the newest food trends to present to his followers. when you would like, you're more likely to find creativity in new concepts elsewhere than in your typical french bistro. today, lauren's blog takes him to a top of the range,

tie st food restaurant. but all is love for the new doesn't stop him for wanting to preserve the old. the bistro owes that was the only vehicle i love be strows. the very typical of fronts of you through the begets is already on the unesco list. so went up bistro spending as quickly as of all we'll go globally before the influences are on board. but the ministry of culture is hesitant and that's where the official application to unesco must come from. mister owner fontaine resents the officials apparent lack of interest in their efforts or since have legless been rejected twice already. why was it because we don't fit into all the boxes of the unesco convention. that convention really keeps me up at night. often colin, twa zone dot palmer, the problem owners are having a hard time defining exactly what constitutes a bist or when the 1st place. because each one is unique as individual as they are . there's one thing that ties them together,

a sense of charm and tradition. ah fontaine is confident that the bistro will get the recognition they deserve. because parisians and tourist alike have long understood france as not france without its bis. joe's. in europe, prices have gone out due to inflation, is especially in poland, in some regions for prizes have doubled prices for electricity and gas have increased as bell and bench another having to bear the brunt. when helena goes shopping, she has to make deal with as little as possible for every thing she can't afford. she has to depend on the social department store. even in these desperate times, alina shaw that she is never going to steal, but many store owner than all in complaining about an increasing number of tests as even stable food seemed to have become unaffordable. for many shem on chavana,

hangs a sign on the fridge in the store, attention butter, and the refrigerator at the checkout. why? because it's no longer safe here in the far corner of a store in kilter. upset over his fellow lesson as nicole. we noticed that about 30 percent of the butter in the fridge had disappeared. after checking the footage of the security cameras in our inventory, we decided to sell the butter at the checkout. instead, though a lot of keeps adjust. the price of put a here and poland has increased by almost 50 percent. record inflation has seen the prices for a whole range of food and drink skyrocket. especially hard hit or the elderly who's pensions can't keep up. shem on has observed mainly these people stealing here at the store. like mom, i just got the book or get sick or if the price is double even triple, but the pension stay the same as they were half a year ago. oh well then they have to come up with new ways to make ends meet. as of decorated like the number of robberies has increased by almost

a 3rd in poland according to recent statistics. and time and time again, it's pensioners who are found to be the culprits, pensioners like helena here in warsaw. she says she has never stolen anything, even though her pension hasn't been enough to keep her fridge properly stocked for some time. now. after paying her rent and bills, helena is left with about $100.00 euros a month to live on the spite receiving the states pension bar in your building. but this or really is wonderful. not everywhere else has become so expensive, not be on dairy products to fruits. and vegetables lot so yeah, here the prices are more affordable that pensioners like me thus then not so much for funding. the store operates and donations. and recent months of seeing more and more people come, especially the sick and elderly, who are already struggling with rent. and medical expenses when you're in,

he just little it then. yes. her nila also she so many people come and thank us. is he saying that if it were not for us, they would have to go hungry for the last week of the month because they just can't afford it. inflation at nearly 60 percent and rising is seeing their standard of living. reduce. older people was pensions. who are only just above the welfare payments threshold are especially affected because they are not eligible for any further support. helena visits her local supermarkets, where buyers and sellers alike are feeling the impact of soaring inflation. petty theft is now part of everyday life. with dr to russia. yes, we're seeing it more and more they should but, but people might pocket a tomato, an apple architect that didn't happen before my one of the water bagel. helena rarely buys from the markets now as it's too expensive. but she does drop by the

stall do seater, which translates as full jet george j chuck stole operates on a generosity model. anyone who buys a meal here can donate a 2nd one for people who are struggling with issue there is no model to anyone who has hungry can come to us and get some food. if someone doesn't really need it, they shouldn't come. there was a group of people who are neither always welcome music yourself, but so visible some of cisco history, alina comes to george's stall every day now, before she didn't eat lunch at all. that sometimes even gives her some fresh cold cuts that he buys for her. you go he of out of her. thank you so so much and i from the bottom of my heart. thank you. my darlings, i wish you good health. so i know you have been there for me, and i am so grateful for that. thank you. what you and your full high

love. the life is hard for helena. the thanks to people, legs urge. she to can feel cared for in this difficult time. ha, ha, ha ha! for ukrainian lake, olga or 30, there's a unique treasure inside the lens basel art museum. there are 100 paintings by the noun, ukranian artists. only a few weeks after war broke out a new train. the art walks were taken away from keith and brought to safety, just in time before rush and messiah struck the national gallery. some of these paintings are now on display publicly, paintings by artists born in ukraine. o ukrainian peasant house painted in 1880 by ilya rape in is a long way from home. instead of keith, it's now hanging in the basel fine arts museum. o those archie is from cave herself to her. this exhibition is a little slice of homeland. she hasn't been able to visit since russia's invasion

dash, adams. this exhibition here was a great gift to us and wonderful surprise in these sad, tragic and dramatic times. it was an opportunity to be able to actually do something productive in a very difficult personal situation to do something very important to all of us here at the museum. but also for me personally, house above him as president sophistic law about 50 works are exhibited here. all of them by artists who were born in the territory of present day ukraine. before the war started, they hung in the national museums, keith, picture gallery. they were secretly transported from keith to basil to protect them from russian bombing. and just in the nick of time, you see it was sidney. really damage. s u r u c. as in peter, you've also there for you will damage morrison's this future seems in your coming back. come lantrip. stories are by rushing up knots. the basel gallery offered

not only protection but a public spotlight, new to like, working together with their key of counterparts. the curator swiftly organized an exhibition. always it does a chance to so you'd have to have people part of your premium culture because you want to be sure we want to be see. the creators are mostly known in western europe as a russian artist. few people here are aware, for instance, that realist, ilia raping, grew up in ukraine. the is home, we have a great deal of catching up to do x 3. we don't really know anything about this art of these artists. grinsley, what's the relation to eastern europe in history? and of course, ukraine plays a very tragic and very central part of his ear. crockett would say it's a dollar. the great diversity of ukrainian culture may be sample that the basel fine arts museum till april 2023. and afterwards it is hoped the works will be able to return home to cave. one bad be great news. what do you think about it?
