somebody, yeah, i was coming to that and i could you go on, would you? yeah, but you order it up. jo, media dog, currently more people than ever on the move world wide in such a better life. to jamalia videos. when a dick in my hood on a la guardia pin meg, the from fusion management does all a piercer ministry school or that was moved that he gets expose. go to lunch with you. there may not find out about ali story info, migraines, reliable nissan migrants. wherever they may be. ah. ah, this is focus on europe. i'm lar babylon, a war. welcome to the show. it's a powder keg in the balkans that's had the e u 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 serv 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 level savage. on one of our local stabs at 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 alex like, affecting the local population right now at the local hospital. a doctor confirmed that there was an outage that says they had 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. some 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 the 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 wanna because at the end of the 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 went higher than it had in a long time. not least because of an unidentified group of masked men. oh, there are russians. a serb says in the cellphone. footage has been speculation that mercenaries from the notorious wagner group were brought in as agitators on russian

orders. a 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 that no side traffic was coming through. and just we had others the belong with our company on stand by just re the support. see, you know, the al 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 or 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 i'm if what i'm afraid to talk it. you not yet that because i go over there often and the 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, the with the one. we don't go to the other side. nice though, we don't have any friends there, so we stay here in the north and and serbia. oh, 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 sylvia, you know, survey surrounded by, by european union and by your natal. 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. and krishna that would really help us last year. i was 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 any time soon their 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 in italy's torre del grayco. but 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. me co cut towel though, is a vendor who knows the tricks 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, beet, red coral jewelry is once again in demand. international fashion and jewelry brands are flocking to torre del greco local entrepreneur muddy a day. 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 you either do these 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 enough thing to do with these people. eventually we find

a merchant who's willing to discuss the darker side of the coral trade. mika 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 see something very coral do for because a day later, um, let possible goods, goods the call from spain is been isabel, softer country. and so base been a france. i don't come in 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's no more coral 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 than as a shortage, already makes it unaffordable for people here many have no money. damages who can afford top quality coral jewelry that may be artists or business people on the 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 of yeah, laquisha was a lot of illegal fishing going on and that creates huge problems for us because at destroyers are carl stocks and the entire seaboard me due to no fault mother. if 10 kilos of coral are growing on a rock, illegal fishing methods will destroy all the habitat around 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 i said,

almost all too 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. she did go away coolers almost like cocaine these days is art advocate gunky. i mean the yard while ago they caught an italian man with a boat, who was transporting coral to italy. legally. doctor said, all closet rebuke yet look like every one knows. smuggling is happening here. it's spot that's not illegal only than 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 was in, they often store the goods in the city of desert, where the capital tunis asthma. then they tried to exported,

not the classic route is to italy. it could have been a spec. villette. from there, the coral is often transported to destinations as far away as india. with the men's butter italian lint, 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 greed unilateral wishing of them just like many other species are . corals are dying because we no longer give them time time to grow and develop them simply don't appreciate the treasures of our oceans anymore. so mickey had to give us you back in torre del grecko, the problems of the north african traders seem far away. heat and still many are

realizing if they don't take action to combat the illegal trade, the coral stocks could run out forever. for centuries, peeve has been used in irish homes for fuel and heating. the country likes other natural resources like coal, oil, and gas. pete 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 1st eating 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. lima and a sister philos. price of

a veritable treasure and their garden. their property in the irish midlands includes maryland. and each year they harvest pete, also known as turf the heath house. well, the good part that you're looking far, far, far to barn is from this level. and, and that's brown turf, that, that, that dept with right to did to the n dare would keep one house warm for a year. that the family has been harvesting pete for generations. the siblings, their 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 climates and the irish government wants to put an end to it. well, i don't think we're cousin, that much harm. i mean, good all the plans up there and we'd never get anything as cheap as turf. i mean, we don't have i in our house. we just have thought their supply of pete spares 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. all varies 250 years war to tar fair. and that will do for over year. steve, there are some 100000 people in ireland 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 tried to implement a partial ban on pete's cutting. it triggered under the countryside like here and 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

a 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 saved there 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 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 old carbon, and the pete following pressure from residence in rural areas. cutting pete remains allowed for private use, but the commercial sale of pete is banned under 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 ireland, no conroy is worried. he needs turf to heat his house to cook and to have a hot shower. i had to spend a 100000 here now to bring my house up to don't want a modern their house. and i, 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. ready we, we, we should go have dinner to, to do that. and if thornton has calmed or has to be a solid alternative for now, there is no satisfactory solution. and putting an end to the traditional practice of p t harvesting is hard to imagine with ether being some major investments. i. he is a celebrated top chef, and france was several michelin stars to his name till 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 ave, 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 mitchell in start 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 is that cooking is not only about talent. he says, all people can do it if they put their minds to it. human growth and hulu. and 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 of hulu when you. those are all attributes that tomatti 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. but i was in the pool, experimental circle cruising. they already had experience because i learned to cook with my mother or more live with the on pause her in francisco, i live with 5 of the afghans and i cook afghan dishes for them for it was in a low. i've got a mortgagee typically marks is passionate about training enthusiast at cooks like samarnie. oh, he teaches classes in the cooking school. he founded cuisine mode them. ploy live, we'll say here's a tube. when you make shoe pastry, be sure to beat the eggs 1st. up. gentle plate,

every movement must be precise, which can be difficult. the shaft pays attention to every detail. you want me to work a smoker. i would say there's still some egg missing but remote and people live. 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 impart 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 sort of central in the off will the shop with you, me every 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 did it for summer, hey, it's the chance of a lifetime. one, he doesn't want to miss because of that, they had to learn a little breath because she was here, but they had the that they learned it is very, very from my shift to re look those who get through 3 months of training and pass the exams can usually find a job in high end paris restaurants that this 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 to low. i want to after my starfish my form, assume i want to work to. and after that i want to open of the restaurant of buddy with the blessing of t. every marks who hopes his trainees will make it as far as he has. the people flying through the air and bouncing off the walls in a church. it's not a holy miracle, but an unorthodox place of worship. in the northern english city of bradford wrestling needs 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 nightclub and converted it into

a church. not that it looks like one much at 1st glance. yes, there's 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 stories of people fighting. the whole of book of job is rem, 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 seem 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, giving wiring from being quite rough area. and i got involved with like the wrong crowd of people. and that if i, i feel like with wrestling and gtm side of his to far i found the right paths all his life. i believe now is the right time to take that step into 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 and about their 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 it's

holy ground. 02 wrestling matches 3 christenings and 12 confirmations all in one evening. and this night club turn 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, ah,
