ah, computers that helps with and government, they go crazy for your data. we explain how these technologies work, how they can go in for, and that's how they can also go terribly. watch, you know, ah, ah, ah, ah, hello and welcome to focus on europe. it's great to have you with us. the massive broaders in georgia have highlighted a divide between the state and the wider population. thousands took to the streets of the capitol tbilisi to protest the controversial foreign agents bill proposed by the ruling party. ride pullers, use water, cannon and pebble spray wild foot,

as those shouted down with the russian law. the bill has now been dropped, but the mistress remains most georgians, want to see their country and the un nato. but they doubt whether their government can or even wants to lead them there. and the protest as fear that mos cause influence will hamper their chances of getting into the european union. a group of radical pro russia protestors remove the european union flag just outside the georgia parliament and set it on fire. the scene shows the political pressure, the small country has been under. since russia invaded ukraine, many georgians, fear their country could slip into russia's orbit of control. so they've been pushing back tracy, do we students will fight for european values to leant. do

yorkie patch was really and thousands of others took to the streets to fight for their future and for a future where georgia joins the e. u, we are major all historic members of the european society. and we wish to integrate into 0 can union beds written in our constitution and it's agreed in our society. things escalated after georgia's ruling party submitted a so called foreign agent draft bill. in early march, the organ and thousands of others saw the bill as an attack on democracy. they protested, entered lizzie, and face tear gas and water cannons. the bill echoes a russian law allowing the government to target critical media and n g o z. this could jeopardize george as long awaited a new candidacy, but was backed by the prime minister. through any group is molly audit would lose the out in the future of our country doesn't belong to foreign agents and people

who serve them backwards to any future of this country belongs to patriot other such anti western rhetoric reminds the students of moscow's narrative. one of the bills drafters is actually a professor of gayor gays who taught him why e u membership is important for georgia before he changed his mind and parliament. we so so the bill that he supported and we're pretty disappointed results. and that is the reason our a protest was sparked, this moral dilemma is the reason we refused to attend his close out of injury. georg, he used facebook to alert his fellow students. together, they boycotted the professors classes. they st. george, as european aspirations are included in the countries constitution, and they've piled copies of it in front of his office. as a reminder,

after 3 days of protest, the government finally withdrew the bill. georg was tired and relieved. this is our joint. a week to re, as the society because we stood together, a family's friends, colleagues and the we actually together. really the students are proud but know their country remains in a difficult situation. the war in ukraine as a daily reminder of george as complicated passed with russia. 15 years ago when georgia was moving closer to the you, russia occupied the region of south sat here after a 5 day war. russian forces are still there. george's, remember of the war of 2008, and remember their history. oh, mazar morrison 200 years of subjugation under moscow.

but in this country there are also supporters of anti western policies. udo turned on me. griffith gordon anemic daughter stuck out of georgia as only foreign agents whole not just from mendoza, but from secret services. i wrote it up and get with beth householder, beaten back at the parliament. gorky says the government is failing. the majority of the population. polls show that more than 80 percent of georgians support you membership, but we also must mind a war future battles. and we must always be ready and people, millard sold it. this freedoms are never taken away from us. the e u flag is flying again outside of georgia's parliament. but georg patch was really knows the fight for his future inside europe is far from over. people in ukraine are also fighting for their future, even as russian president vladimir putin continued his walk. he recently visited

the occupied city of maria board to release radio short, him driving and talking to residence in a newly constructed district. it was an attempt to present life as back to normal in my report. but this is far from the truth. the city was devastated after russian troops bombarded it for more than 80 days last year. and for many people in ukraine, the fear of rush and bombs remains were on the road with ukrainian explosive experts and the devastated villages around khaki. the russian border is less than 30 kilometers away. natasha, edward of know, called the emergency services after she came home and found rocket remnants stuck in the middle of her flat. nathan, if you could death mogley when we came home after the russians had been pushed back, i saw the nice thing they left for us alumni. i was scared to touch it with a few of the boys will remove it, but i had such

a fright. i thought it might explode, hold on one of the routes and label the explosive experts quickly give you a clear that there are no explosives left in the rocket nose. this team faces such dangers every day and what you are. so i really wanted to work here. this is my family, except that was a vote. they are very worried and most of those. hm. hm. one, many residents are still afraid the russian soldiers might come back. but no, there's no, it was of no refuses to be driven away by the terrible memories of the last year. yes. yes. it's all still very fresh in my mind. reason. i worry about it, but that's life that we have to calm down. keep on and keep living. i won't leave this mom, my mother, my father and my husband are buried here. it's our home. so the team also quickly checks the garden where they find just scrap metal, nothing explosive. they say that's not always the case of border political. many

residents have found themselves in places littered with minds or other explosives. often would fatal results. a bulletin. now boy, the people who don't die are often seriously injured, losing their arms or legs. bullying concealed one year ago, a bomb destroyed several houses in the next village. svetlana was less than a 100 meters away at the time. don't worry, don't you, deb? we had done it for you. the woman in one house was injured and her husband escaped with a scare cure of the seat next door. a house wall collapsed and killed the woman living there in late. but below still you think how heave people seek shelter in the subway stations during the daily era, warnings, some have been living here for year in fear of the missiles yet, but anyway, i've gotten used to it me, i feel fine here, but he just give

a short not look, not the only bad thing is that you can't do your laundry or cook her answer. we're good, but i have no idea. if for sydney agreement cogburn, when i time shelling became heavier as well. i couldn't bear it any longer. furthermore, yet so, so i came back here to calm down, oscar was backward because i can't stand it up top anymore. who's everything you have movie. this is a secret place and cookies with thousands of rockets and shell pieces. the army has various places where it collects what russia has been raining down on the city for months to meet church. being co from the public attorney's office shows us the evidence of the inhumane war, including internationally banned weapons, clerical, re finding cluster bombs, and hockey of that fell on soft ground and didn't explode, horse, or discover one or 2 cluster bombs, your city every week, which is the hoarded for,

for sort of mr. back in the villages near hockey's, the emergency service team finds explosive material everywhere like this grenade. they assure the residence that it's no longer dangerous, that the team has to be very careful with if we find more their accidents. suddenly, there sometimes accidental explosions in areas densely packed with munitions most thankfully, there are none. today the teen collect some shells and hopes that it remains quiet at the nearby front. have you ever written something so beautiful your waste? you could preserve it, not just for yourself, but for future generations as well. well then martin consoles, the guy for you. he is creating a time capsule so that our descendants can have details about us and the and avi lived and he said it was storage facility deep. and one of the was all the salt mines near hullstead in austria. except the data for this project isn't being

stored digitally, but on sediment dives. ah, my concern is on his way to his treasure trove, located deep in a mountain in austria. it's a vault of stone and salt is given the project, the name, the memory of mankind. if it are, if we are in the salts heard of hostess, the world's oldest song 9. we're going to take this old mining train around 500 meters into the mountain and be archived the government meter. this group of mountains and upper austria is called her let's. the region is famous for its rock salt extracted here for centuries. the old pits and shafts provide ideal protection for martin concepts archive project. the data is inside these boxes of fired clay,

but here data isn't being stored digitally. it's on ceramic tiles, not unlike those. you can buy concept burns text and images into the tiles. what get stored is selected according to his own criteria. beyond just an hon for talking reader, we've brought another handful of tiles into the mountain and we'll now put them into this box here. turn enters. oh, this is part locksmiths, training journal from the 1950s sunday over arlington. laurence things were done differently both in all of us, which is why i think it's worth preserving that on finger. it does offer a hardened spirit. besides his own selections console also store private texts and images for anyone in exchange for a small fee or stories. but the covered lockdown, for example, shred it. so that's what a doctoral thesis of a pakistani antiquities researcher, who doesn't want to only rely on digital clouds and servers so hard boiled

vivia lane on is on. so our internet information still knows isn't as long lasting as we think. that's one of the reasons why i decided to set up this archive. so that information can be stored for the long term for much of a future generations of thought. so they can gain some insight into their own past the mid d and an applicant, the agony for government at hom, cronum, around 2 percent of the electricity worldwide is already been consumed to store data and digital storage systems don't last forever. they could be deleted at any time or become unreadable on the other hand, conscious as, as tiles are indestructible and the vienna native knows what he's talking about. he's a trained ceramic specialist and well versed in these materials. he even developed a special process for burning high resolution images and text on the tiles in his

workshop at home. it can take hours or even days. the supervisor goes with his wet blaze of the child bombs with the color grains. then it causes food all after that, it's a smooth surface. that's why it's so durable. it is the full heart bar. whenever a batch of tiles is finished, martin conser heads for the salt mine and housed at the picturesque location of trucks many tourists and has been used at the fillum location. visitors from around the world come to house that but few know that deep in the mountain above them, a time capsule archive has been growing for a decade tile by tile. this tile is particularly important to martin conser. it shows how a glazier has melted in just a few decades present and thought is element, that's a central element of the archive document and climate change. because if we don't

safely preserve the raw climate observation, docile future generations might not understand that climate change took place and certainly not to what extent are one from gun with y'all's masser. the project won't be limited to just tiles. scientists are working with martin conser on new data storage materials to fit more data on smaller spaces because there's plenty of demand. even the university of vienna has tiles here. the project memory of mankind is to last forever for every one you want to expect europe's largest shanty down to lie just outside of madrid. but that is where you'll find kenya that he out of 14 kilometer long illegal settlement about 30000 people lovin gun. now that he al, whose origins stayed back more than half a century, many living shacks are dense, but others have built permanent houses. for years, the local government has struggled to deal with this settlement. now,

the reason of madrid plans to do it on every thing, by offering the residence a permanent home elsewhere, complete with the running water and electricity. an offer that the local administration thinks no one would like to mess. this key opens a new chapter in augustine and her family's lives. oh yes, there is water. oh, i've got to see that. oh, i see we have hot water to shower away so that the family will soon have hot running water for no place to live here together with thousands of others along an old cattle path called kenyatta. rio believe to be the biggest legal settlement in europe. here, a fire on the street indicates a drug selling point. power lines attempt everywhere. and in the southern part,

some residents also grow marijuana. well, well, if i want to police recently published footage of a raid growing marijuana requires a lot of energy enough to maybe cause the local power grids to collapse. oh, well yes. many canada re, our residents came decades ago from southern spain, or a broad augustina lives with her parents and lauren children. they haven't had power for 2 years. manolo augustine, as husband wants to show us something. so when the generator is running, we have light of it in a more or less this a busy anyway, through zillow on it, we need power for at least a few hours for the refrigerator. but now the gas is empty. was pricey. little

definitely. yeah, $500.00 euros a month to live as a leader for gas for the generator. can you do enough space for animals and little scrap market manolo. his parents built this house and farm decades ago. back then, no one seemed to care about the settlement east of madrid, but now everything here is to be torn down. the you sent a letter calling the widespread lack of power unacceptable and demanded the spain take action. but madrid's regional government didn't repair the power grid. instead, the settlements commissioner offered people one of over 400 rangel apartments. the city bought an exchange for their homes. but not every one was to leave like sar, who lives at the southern end of most of her neighbors and their homes are gone. my guess is that most the houses are, as you know, to look with only the pay taxes. we don't want someone else to decide where we get to live in southern or get em us an idea on they do get as an umbrella better. she

shows us document with sure they pay property taxes up until 2011. when you authority suddenly stopped collecting them yet. sarah's neva, elena doesn't want to vacate either class. she's been living here for 30 years and recently had solar panels installed on your house. now she has power even without a generator. is so medical, so it cost me a lot of money. i have all the bills if i'm, if the authorities reimburse me for all of that. i'll leave the property is mine, but the house is in your store and i was at the town hall like over 20 years ago and they didn't agree to let me build my father. but they didn't prohibit either or yeah, they said nothing. another, i mean must this? yeah, the commission shows a satellite images to explain why things are complicated, that the con jadarias homes are strapped around 14 kilometers long. it is that you, since 1940 houses have been built here, legally responsible authorities include the regional government and 3 local town

halls. and what is the nature reserve and urban planning nightmare. but every one has now agreed that the south side of the settlement is to be torn down with no compensation, especially if people are going to receive eviction. notice says hello. they had a chance to request to move and didn't my next step, while it was eviction. develop manolo and overseeing the decided to leave the illegal settlement before the excavators arrived. mellow to his out anything akin salad. the scrap boxes. oh, after that they'll move on to town to this apartment provided by the city. this was the moment when they 1st saw it. it's only emotional. this one

that's beautiful, just look at this kitchen. i mean, their monthly rent will be 50 euro's for the 1st 3 months and then rise to around 200 years. that's the dear for them to leave their illegally built house isa. this some is excited, they won't have to freeze any more. and now they can just flip a switch and turn on the lights. it is only capital in europe, that remains divided. negotiate in cyprus than stock as troops in weighted the island in the mediterranean, in 1974. cyprus has been divided between the greek republic and the dog is occupied, not many political attempts to re unite the island. how failed, but citizens continue to do their bit to bring cypress and its people together. and that includes people like yogurt and most of

road blocks, walls and barbed wire. have been part of nic hosea, for more than 48 years. the capital remains divided to this day, split into a greek and turkish part, just like the rest of cyprus. the greek cypriot to your go speedo, finds it difficult to accept the political deadlock and that there is no perspective of reunification. he looks over to the turkish side. the retiree says the reconciliation should no longer be left to the politicians. i see and realize that if they let us on our own, i mean citizens, or we could have hot grade left to play, yoko speedo experiences just how great this could be in the ball, communal choir for peace, lena melanie, doom, greek and turkish cypriots,

sing together in the name of peace and reconciliation in this choir, where music surmount, political, and linguistic borders. mustafah air salter has been in the choir for a year and a half. the architect from the turkish north meets his coral colleague your bos before the concert. the border can still only be crossed via checkpoints. mustafah is used to this. he grew up with the division just like his turkish fans. and then i have participate for the choir. i. i tell them we are living there. i'll be surprised. thought, think of you field of you are doing something for your own country for peace. 40 rena vacation. it shows from the time the c as on stage with a white clothes like that, and the color apiece. and they cannot ever understand who is creek,

who is turkish same, happy to the same songs, the same attitude. so step by step, i think we're influencing everyone who is turkish and who is greek. none of that matters when the choir gets together, as can be seen that this piece concert in the greek part of the capital one. proponents of reunification are now a minority in cyprus, but the quire won't give up. and it's a full house at the auditorium before the concert. 2 survivors of the civil war in 1974 are honored. one greek, and one turkish both survived, massacre as, as children to day. they both promote reconciliation together with the whole choir, your goals and mustafah, perform the song, sorry. the turkish choir members ask for forgiveness in

greek, and the greek members do the same in turkish. they understand that one requirement for reconciliation is recognizing the other side, suffering to talk more and more like these. and disney bring those people to each other trisha at the end of the concert, they sing the song, my homeland has been split into. which of the 2 sides shall i love? both is the answer given by your ghost wooster, fha. and the other singers in the peace choir of cyprus, what an uplifting not to and on. that's all from us to day on focus on europe. if you have enjoyed watching today's show, you can share it. why our home page,
