the 7 percent the platform with, you know, or this channel we are not afraid to detach and delicate topic. africans population is growing fast. and young people clearly have the solutions, the future loans for the 77 percent every weekend on d w. ah, this is focus on europe. i'm lar babel ola, a war. welcome to the show. it's a powder keg in the balkans that's had the you on edge for years. just weeks ago

there were fears that an armed conflict between kosovo and serbia could break out. in december serbian protestors erected road blocks in northern kosovo. they were calling in part for the release of a served detained for attacking kosovo, police. tensions flared, and serbia put its army on high combat alert. well, the european union just recently published a peace plan to normalize ties in kosovo. both sides have endorsed the road map, which includes strengthening the self managing rights of the serbian minority in kosovo. a group that refuses to recognise kosovo as an independent country for more than 20 years. the international peacekeeping force k for, has been mediating between the 2 ethnic groups to maintain stability, a balancing act in a country, divide it, ah, they've been more heavily armed in the past. but for the soldiers of the k,

for international peacekeeping force, the pistols are largely symbolic at the moment. for now, the situation is calm and northern, kosovo. there's a chance to connect with the locals in the small town of little savage. on one of our local stabs at a restaurant found out that there had been a power outage. and so we're just trying to get a feel for how far the power outage spread and how that's like affecting the local population right now. at the local hospital. a doctor confirmed that there was an outage, but says they have emergency generators. a power outage here can have significance for the military. so the soldiers gather information whenever they can, before having the obligatory cup of coffee. legal aid with kosovo, just celebrated 15 years of independence. but an epo savage. only serbian flags are

on display. the defiant word splashed on the wall. read this as serbia have no fear . we are here to protect you. we try to keep a very neutral posture. we don't wanna look too aggressive for what up, cuz that in a day, i mean we're people to we understand like the issues and concerns that they have as well. we follow the peacekeepers nor to the border with a regularly patrol and for good reason to is or the bundle. it was a few weeks ago. there was a flare up at the border with radical serbs clashing with kosovo, albanians. the tension ran higher than it had in a long time, not least because of an unidentified group of masked men with the russians. a serb says in the cellphone footage, there's been speculation that mercenaries from the notorious wagner group were brought in as agitators on russian orders.

k 4 has observed what unfolding without intervening, the soldiers only step in of kosovo and you police force has failed to get the situation under control by a squad in particular. we were responsible for on top of the hill behind us. like in that general vicinity, like ensuring and no side traffic was coming through. and just we had others that belong with our company on stand by just re the support. see, you know, the a, kosovo police department. no. where are the divisions in kosovo, more evident than in the city? a metro visa, where the south is mostly populated by kosovo, albanians and the north by kosovo. serbs, you police got the bridge that connects the 2 parts on the albanian side. people talk about their fear and distrust. thus, for these cabinets on woman,

i know that up when we don't have any kind of relationship with the people over there. now i'm not sure the daughter she thought and okay me. but what i'm, what i'm afraid to talk it through not yet that because i go over there often and they could do something to me. in the north, there are serbian flags everywhere. the only person willing to speak with us is a teenager almost doubled the boy in how to make it better. no idea. now, i mean they may be by kosovo, fully belonging to serbia, the commerce with it, but we don't go to the other side. nice that we don't have any friends there, so we stay here in the north and and serbia o, kosovo, and serbia have agreed to a proposal aimed at stabilizing relations. and although both sides have yet to sign, it is the 1st shimmer of hope in a long time. so most of the movement of what makes me more optimistic is some of

the pressure of the western countries or suburbia, you know, surveys surrounded by, by european union and by nato. are these cars are right on the way back to the base . the key for soldiers made a group of serbs protesting the expropriation of property by the kosovo state. yes, the long colloquy waffle, morty, gone. it's in your power and you and your superiors could talk to the leaders and the people in charge in pristina that would really help us last you please. i don't like the most i can do is relay that. but what i can do for you guys like, cuz at 1st we didn't think that we were welcomed at the protests. you, i mean, but we can stop, hang out, show the, we're here. and i mean, so it's like a unity. kenneth m like is at yahoo is act. if you want to triangulate the serbs claim that's neighbors from the kosovo police are hiding up in the forest. and

indeed, there are some patrol cars following the protest from a distance. we are not allowed to film. distrust runs deep in kosovo on both sides, and there is little to indicate that it will change anytime soon. bare treasures of the ocean that have existed for hundreds of millions of years. and it's not only divers and ecologists who are enchanted by these natural treasures. but also jewelers, the red coral from the mediterranean sea is coveted and is found in abundance. and it leaves torre del grayco at the organisms are under threat not only from climate change, but also from poaching. smugglers are plundering the precious red coral to get a share of the multi $1000000.00 industry. mico cut towel, though, is a vendor who knows the trick smugglers used to evade the authorities. naples in southern italy, for centuries, the region has been famous for quarrels under the shadow of mount vesuvius,

lies torre del grecko. the unofficial capital of the global coral trade. local business leaders are up beat read coral jewelry is once again in demand international fashion and jewelry. brands are flocking to torre del greco local entrepreneur maria de simona believes this success is helped by a serious commitment to conservation. she says her business strictly follows environmental protection rules. she's aware of the illegal coral trade, but says that's a different world. you have a name, you have a story, you have her something to defend and there you don't do this things. there are many factories, i mean also small, which have a name. i respectful name, and i'm sure they don't, that they have nothing to do with these people. eventually we find

a merchant who's willing to discuss the darker side of the coral trade. michael catallo says the atmosphere is something akin to a gold rush. he says, although authorities are keeping a closer eye on the problem, smugglers continue finding new routes. i say something although very cora do for because a day later, ah, let possible goods, goods, the color from spain as pain is well softer count 3. and so they, spain, france, they don't come in italy. they find another way we head to the other side of the mediterranean sea, wherein to barker on tenicia, northern mediterranean coast. for centuries, everything here revolved around precious coral. but unlike in italy, business is slow. local residents tell us 90 percent of the shops have closed because there is no more quarrel available. she walked on my stuck on will at some

point there will probably be no more quarrel left at all. hello. people die out more. that as a shortage already makes it unaffordable for people here may yet have no money, almost who can afford top quality coral jewelry. it may be artists or business people, not that fit. for years solid butare worked as a coral diver. he insists he always stuck to the rules, but now he's grown too old for the job and allows other divers to use his boat instead. yeah, laquisha was a lot of illegal fishing going on and that creates huge problems for us. because at destroyers or carl stocks and the entire seebert me due to no fault mother. if 10 kilos of coral are growing on a rock, illegal fishing methods will destroy all the habitat to round it. here please, could you? kiddo decoy. is our robert g, nightly loads of the coral is lost and only one kilo ends up being caught. sorry,

as, as almost daunted fast. he says, the coral is smuggled by a tunisia and sent all over the world demand in southern europe and asia is especially high. he says it's hard for authorities to verify the corals origins. he did grow coolers, almost like cocaine these days is art advocate gunky. i mean that yard a while ago they caught an italian man with a boat, who was transporting coral to italy. legally. doctor said law, got it rebuke, yet they got every will knows, smuggling is happening here. it's not, that's not illegal. anything the coast guard regularly conduct searches of boats at the small port of to barca. 3 years ago they uncovered a network of smugglers. from algeria, tunisia, and spain, whose global trade and coral was worth, millions of years, has blown out for that as in they often store the goods in the city of desert, where the capital tunis plasma. then they tried to explored it,

not for the classic route is to italy. it could have been municipal viola from there. the coral is often transported to destinations as far away as india with them and put it. he thought he learned that in many asian countries, the underwater species are said to have health benefits and even supernatural powers. criminal networks go to great lengths to cash in on the precious corals which often live hundreds of meters below the surface jewelry artisan more at our folly, is convinced that all the problems plaguing the coral stem from one thing, humans and their great gene huddle. wishing out of them just like many other species are coral's, are dying because we no longer give them time time to grow and develop. of that, we simply don't appreciate the treasures of our oceans any more than mickey. i think it was. she was you in love that we are all back in taught a dell kreckle the problems of the north african traders seemed far away. even

still many are realizing if they don't take action to combat the illegal trade, the coral stocks could run out forever for centuries. pete has been used in irish homes for fuel and heating. a country likes other natural resources like coal, oil, and gas heat, also known as turf, is not only found in abundance in ireland. it is also cheap. many people in the countryside build up their own reserves for heating and cooking. know conroy is one of them. for now, at least he is rattled by the government's plan to ban turf. cutting pete lens that are intact, store vast amounts of c o 2. and can reduce greenhouse gases, but for the people in the irish countryside, the climate friendly alternative to heat and fuel their homes is an unattractive option. new lima and a sister phyllis price of

a veritable treasure and their garden. their property in the irish midlands includes moorland, and each year they harvest pete also known as turf, the heat, their house. well, the good part that you're looking for for, for to barn is from dis level. and, and that's brown turf. that, that, that decked with right to do to the n dare would keep one house warm for a year. that the family has been harvesting pete for generations. the siblings to children, all of them burn pete for heating. it's part of the culture, but possibly for not much longer burning. pete is very damaging to the climates of the irish government wants to put an end to it. well, i don't think we're causing that much higher. i mean, good all the plans up there and we never get anything as cheap as turf. i mean, we don't have all in our house. we just have thought their supply of pete spurs them from skyrocketing energy bills. once a year they use

a machine to collect and cook the pete. it's been set aside to dry and that's it. there is 250 years war to talk stare. and that will do for over steve, there are some 100000 people in arlan to still harvest pete from the local moors to heat their homes. many are fighting to keep things as they are. oh, last year the government's tried to implement a partial ban on pete cutting. it triggered under the countryside like here in clara almost circling 90 percent of the houses here are, are boarding, local politicians and lobbyists like seamus. poland did all they could to lift the restrictions, saying they'd come too fast when you introduce the law without the supports to

implement that law than you, you cause enormous trouble and pain and it's practically and physically not possible for people to make that change. mm hm. that's one side of the story. but tristram white says there's another side and time is of the essence. pete lance can work miracles in the fight against climate change and c o 2 emissions is put great effort into restoring this more carbon from the air that then look under that water table and it save that for thousands of years. and that was a part of the carbon cycle they were taking this, this, this, this carbon from the atmosphere and locking it away. and you know, that was what was regulated climb and regulate in a temperature. about 90 percent of irelands wetlands have been destroyed partly through industrialization. this bog just opposite was extracted for a former pete power plant. this site is

releasing carbon, you know it, it's crackin and it's, it's, it's leaking off in the water as well as all the carbon and the pete following pressure from residence in rural areas. cutting pete remains allowed for private use, but commercial sale of pete is banned when to pressure from the you to meet climate targets. the irish government is still intent on persuading those who still burn pete for heating to switch to greener methods. one of the huge yeah, important things with what low cost loans, we need to move to electricity for heating and we're going to produce huge amounts of renewable electricity in the coming decade here in orland. no conroy is worried . he needs turf to heat his house to cook, and to have a hot shower. i'd have to spend a 100000 here now to bring my house up to don't want a modern to house, and i just can't afford us. he rejects allegations that he doesn't care about the

environment, like others. he gave his bog to the state, so it could be restored. in return, he received a smaller piece of moorland for his own use. we want to play our heart for it rather than gun crucifying us. we we, we should go have dinner to, to do that. and if thornton has come to huseby, a solid alternative for now there is no satisfactory solution. i'm putting an end to the traditional practice of p t harvesting. it's hard to imagine with ether being some major investments. he is a celebrated top chef and france with several michelin stars to his name tear. the marks moves in exclusive circles in the capital, paris, but his personal philosophy is quite the opposite. the chef rose from humble beginnings to become a millionaire, all without

a high school diploma. he believes wealth is a good thing if it's shared, some away from afghanistan is benefiting from his generosity, clearly has founded schools in france that give migrant school dropouts and ex convicts a chance at a fresh start. michelin started shaft here he marks is giving the final touches to the ravioli. he is serving in his new paras restaurant. he has a keen eye for detail. his philosophy as that cooking. as not only about talent. he says, all people can do it. if they put their minds to it, in about 2 months worth of hulu, of course, anyone can reach a very high level if you're determined and not afraid of certain words, like discipline, rigor and commitment, you can reach the top longer small. it was probably the thought, hulu, when you, those are all attributes that samarnie has. after fleeing afghanistan, 4 years ago,

he had to find his way, 1st in austria than in france. summary, says cooking is not just about earning a living. it's a calling. a was here and he bought a pair of your 3rd book recently already had experience because i learned to cook with my mother or more live with thee on pause her in france, i live with 5 with the afghans and i cook afghans dishes for them, for it was in a know i'm go know mortgagee. terry marks is passionate about training and susie asked at cooks like samarnie. oh, he teaches classes in the cooking school. he founded cuisine mode employ. we'll say here's a tube. when you make shoe pastry, be sure to beat the eggs 1st. to gentle plated,

every movement must be precise, which can be difficult. the shaft pays attention to every detail. when it is rather swaniker, i would say there's still some egg missing, but remote emptied through the tally marks has been criticized for supporting migrants in his school. detractors has said he'd grant asylum to anyone who wants to cook the fall regularly behalf papers, even if there's a time limit member since we want to import knowledge. so they have more freedom, little more autonomy and can live their life on french soil in the best conditions possible with a professional solar. so offset nonlinearly silva, he may have a committee more than 6000 people have trained at the school. not only migrants, but also people who spend time in jail or who didn't graduate from school. she had

a marks himself didn't graduate from school and he wants to help people put their problems behind them. lou facilities were not interested in people's past, or we ask what they want to do now. if they want to cook, we can help with it. for summer, hey, it's the chance of a lifetime. one he doesn't want to miss the go though, that they had to learn a little breath because she was here. but i'm happy that they learned it is very, very from my shift theory works. those who get through 3 months of training and pass the exams can usually find a job in high end paris restaurants. the best works and what mil gift we noticed that it puts people back in an upright position. they can see beyond the horizon. and imagine becoming establish chefs and crafting their own style in summer a wants to combine afghan and french cuisine. one idea is to serve traditional

afghan man to or dumplings with a french style vegetable broth low. i want to often my starfish, my foremost hewn. i want to work after that, i want to open up the restaurant a buddy with the blessing of t. airy marks who hopes his trainees will make it as far as he has people flying through the air and bouncing off the walls in a church. it's not a wholly miracle, but an unorthodox place of worship in the northern english city of bradford wrestling meats, religion. while it may seem like an odd paring to some for the congregation, it's a match made in heaven. oh, in a country where many churches have been turned into restaurants or night clubs, some clerics decided to turn the tables. they bought a night club and converted it into

a church. not that it looks like one much at 1st glance. yes, there is a cross yellow and a candle, but there's also a bath tub at the fountains church in bradford and northern england and most unusual, a wrestling ring and a monthly show you read the bible. there are stories in that can enable someone got murdered. there are always a people fighting the, the whole book of job isn't wrestling with, with the circumstances that he's in the psalm. see david's kind of expressing his feelings like all of that is in the bible and there's worse than wrestling in the bible. that's certainly true. and some may prefer rock guitar to the more traditional church organ. in any case, the atmosphere is electric. as the 2 wrestlers step into the ring. in this choreograph show metal god, alex and jack johnson seems evenly matched. but it's the latter who gets the upper

hand, perhaps with a little help from above. his tiny got led down the wrong path, getting wiring from being caught rough area. and i got involved like the wrong crowd of people. and that if i feel like with wrestling and gtm sign of his to fly, i found the right paths all his life. i believe now is my time t j law stepping to faith. and while shall i all the past. negativity wash away literally after the fight. jap johnson is one of a few to be christened. ah, it's not only the trial that's in great spirits. so is the bishop of bradford, who thinks it's great to preach from the ring, what it means to fight when people are willing to be o about a story. and it is a beautiful thing, and it's a beautiful thing and we, we hold it very tenderly. um, sometimes like tonight i feel like almost need to take off my shoes because its

holy ground. 02, wrestling matches 3 christenings and 12 confirmations all in one evening. and this nightclub turned church in bradford ah, spandex and sermons, who would have thought? that's all for him as this week at focus on europe. thanks so much for watching bye for now. ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
