4:35 am
as night falls over calabria. francesco rocca is carrying out her evening ritual, serving up food to undocumented migrants and others in neat. she says there simply aren't enough legal ways to enter the game. will go viral, no built below. the government really needs to get better unwelcoming migraines, clia date on the immigration as a positive thing. least they say they need to a couple down migration flows instead of helping people arrive thought ada. gotcha benita, italian prime minister, george maloney from the far right brothers eventually party met with relatives of the victims in the aftermath of the tragedy. she says her government is not to blame. well i'm yeah, goshen samples. my conscience is clear here that what we're seeing is here, that the more people leave, the more people put themselves in the hands of cynical smugglers who the grade of the red line. he had something goes wrong that a faculty,
4:36 am
if you chevy sure. quickle's, other story, rome is pushing ahead with controversial laws to restrict search and rescue operations run by non profit groups. arguing they encourage people to make these dangerous journeys. critics born this could result in more people droning. but local mer, antonio should also says it's the right approach. westerlo problem. debbie, a soldier. well, this problem must at least become a european problem. italy alone cannot bear all of the sale. it's true. italy lends itself more than other nations to boat arrives in dallas, but it is clear that all these people don't would want to stay in it a little for they want to move to other countries, isn't it? in that warriors? will subsidy, vincenzo doesn't know if or when he'll muster the courage to start fishing again. he keeps retracing the steps of his trauma trying to move forward. when i'm on my vin would provide me all the care of the buddha, gail at all. a mother came to see me because she learned i was among the 1st
4:37 am
rescuers. the bully, one of her daughters was already dead, but she begged me to find the other one love to them. so i'm coming back going up and down the shores every single day, night and day until i find the bull deal. what would you do to jordan and uncle and aunt thinking little of he was that was the mamma finch. hinesville once calabria to draw a line in the sand under this catastrophe. but after years of debate, you countries are yet to reach a deal on the overhaul to asylum policy. many say is urgently needed. since the shipwreck hundreds more migrants have arrived initially in small boats and dozens have gone missing or drone toil attempting. the crossing italy has taken in almost 3 times as many refugees compared to the same period one year ago. of the millions of people who fled the war in ukraine,
4:38 am
many found refuge in austria, but often with only the bare necessities at hand, no language skills and dwindling bank accounts. in vienna though some got immediate assistance from the american ex pat tanya meyer who is waiting for them at the central train station. she has supported thousands of ukrainian refugees and made a name for herself in the process. in case any one doubts that one person can make a difference. ask ukrainian refugees in vienna for whom one name has become a lifeline. tanya find tanya meyer. they say she will help you. that's the advice lillia was given by another refugee as she deposited her teenage son in vienna alone before returning to the front line in ukraine. she said it tanya, you'll help for my son. this is my one, the child and the i don't want it that a hugh was killed in this war. tanya meyer found herself in this role somewhat by
4:39 am
accident. despite an earlier career in investment banking. for years she'd been mostly a stay at home mom then russia invaded ukraine february 24th. a woke up burst into tears cried the whole morning and then like, i have just started following what was happening. someone wrote me, hey tanya, if you're in vienna like you should go help at the transition go there. they need russian or ukrainian speakers fluent and russian meyer helped ukrainians arriving in vienna. many of whom had just a few belongings and plastic bags and a little if any cash. she started buying things for people out of her own pocket. but the level of need quickly became overwhelming. refugees were stuck in the arrival center for many weeks, instead of the envisioned 3 days. and as long as they were there, they could not start getting financial assistance. the state response was super slow and completely chaotic, and they were waiting months to get any money from the austrian government. that's
4:40 am
where the idea was born to crowd fund grocery cards of 50 euros each. together with some volunteers, tanya meyer created a website and started pleading for funds on social media. she puts every penny into the gift cards, mailing many by hand and posting photos of the food recipients. by so far about 4000 cards have been delivered. i was so grateful and i wrote her a diner. thank you so much. that was 50 euro at that very time. was a big amount of money. you know, when you came here and you don't have money, you don't know what is going on. irina says myers gift card was the 1st hand of help she and her children got in austria kits, watts as if surprised food. her like i hope it goes the why to it's sold born to for our 1st time because your own soul. oh, i steadily. your last is too much, i mean usually that it's impossible. i work with others to get their money from.
4:41 am
the silly says tanya meyer also helped him find housing when he and his mother were homeless. now he volunteers as her online group administrator. i lot of people need help and like danny, i can do everything by her own so, i mean there is not enough resources to like only one person. but myer is far from alone. train of hope and angio set up originally to help with the large inflow of migrants in 2015 has provided food, clothing, space, and activities for an estimated 135000 refugees so far. but the organization also says it's a shame these tasks are falling to volunteers. again, to could have learned a lot looking back at what happened in 2015, what was needed for the refugees and how it all evolved. but we failed in 2022 when the ukrainians were coming. that while the angio and civil society had them their homework and most of the management of public administration didn't, most refugees here expressed gratitude to their asking and government. but some also feel the initial welcome has worn out this group of people with disabilities
4:42 am
and severe illness lives in a building that will be closed next month. and they haven't been told what happens next. you know, they're going to move us all, and we're all really scared. what do they move as all to different places? how will we help each other? who's going to help us work for many? the answer to that question is again, tanya. but she explains that she too, has been helped by her project. i felt a little bit like i been a bad example to my kids because i haven't had a job job. and so but i also feel like i'm in a really good example. i taught them that you can do something as one person they've all law is here themselves to do conversation practice with ukrainian kids, their own it that makes me for out on him i or says she'll continue help until the money but that's not today. her phone is buzzing with new requests,
4:43 am
and new donations, and people are counting on tanya to make it to the mailbox. france is in turmoil. millions have taken to the streets to protest against president manuel, mar chrome. the pension reform stipulates that french people should work 2 years longer in the future, up to the age of 64. but polls show that the majority of france does not agree with that decision. elisia, a student takes to the barricades, not just as an act against the new retirement laws, like many others, she's demonstrating because she feels she's not being taken seriously at all. not by the government, nor by the french president. oh, elisia never misses a protest. like millions of french citizens, the 19 year old wants to prevent the government from pushing through its pension reforms. she wants people to be able to retire at $62.00
4:44 am
a month in some countries at $67.00. that's a lot for me, this is historic. it's one of the biggest social mobilizations in the past 70 years since may of 68 and against pension reform, the people have to be heard. the atmosphere in paris is half festival, have revolution. some banks have boarded up their windows. they're scared of paving stones and of the populations anger against president emmanuel mccall. elisia, a law student says he's behaving like a monarch. she is angry that his government bypassed parliament when they raised their retirement age to 64. they don't want to back down, does need the compromise nor debate. even the unions are being ignored. that's the problem. for months the president has been trying to convince the french that the
4:45 am
pension system needs more funds discoverable. 6, do you think i'm enjoying this reform? you know, today there are 17000000 pensioners in 2030. there will be 20000000 is do you think we can continue with these rules of but according to polls, 2 thirds of the french are against this reform. they are worried about their future . ah, going if you've already worked 40 for years like me, there are other things to do than work. life is already relatively short. oh, these protestors seeing that macklin has declared war on them as had the police, a reference to the tough police thing of the protests. ah, it's my mom cooling. yeah, it was my mum, she's always worried when i go to a protest. many french economists are behind the president and think that the
4:46 am
demands of the protesters are absurd. but some political scientists argue that there are other ways of financing the pension schemes. some are looking to other you states for comparison of halls, booklets in france. the working conditions for many employees have worsened the sale. they say they can't keep up because the pressure is too much like i don't not the city in germany. on the other hand, manual but working conditions have improved in industry. for example, they don't understand. oh, many protesters say they are being exploited by the political system by the economic system, by industry. some more radical ones are ready to fight this protest or wanted to remain anonymous. all social rights were more or less acquired through violence, fighting for them, legitimizes violence to some extent is your job. i support learners. the young people are angry. i'm old,
4:47 am
i'm retired. but i'm also very angry. this anger is shared by tens of thousands at the plaster, la, la da, situation escalated it. some garbage was even set on fire. the garbage has been piling up in paris as the collectors are also against the reform and have gone on strike. the situation is chaotic, but elisia will continue to fight for a better future, or at least until the president drops this reform. it happened in a matter of minutes. tens of thousands of buildings in turkey were damaged or destroyed by severe earthquakes of those who were lucky enough to escape to safety . hundreds of thousands have lost their homes for ever. one place that was hit especially hard was the city of his kendra room since the earthquakes many families have been living intense, provided by the state disaster protection agency,
4:48 am
including children like boon yameen. his life is one, lived in a state of emergency, with no solution in sight. and then the name of the goldfish could be saved. his aquarium seems a little lost in the middle of the tent. i need mamma should i give him one or 2? says 9 year old gwyn yameen. the fish is a welcome distraction. a familiar friend in the new normal. oh, she actually all is saved. are fish, but the other one died. that one and a lot of you know, colors. ok. good. mr. maybe was just too much for it. one fish died and the other one live older when you mean and his family survived the earthquake, but their house is no longer safe to live in. for now, they're living in a temporary camp along with 2000 other people. the parents talk as little as possible about the earthquake. but the children talk about little else. carson,
4:49 am
this is out the little when me ran out of the house. my heart was pounding, jim landis, i was very scared that our house was going to fall on us. then you go. oh mother, yours yours. oh, i'm starting to remember everything again. well, but that night it was like watching a film yada didn't do much. they their father, muhammad reach prayer, his for his relatives, out of the koran. many of them died in the earthquake with the children know this as well. no one has been able to mourn properly. how can they, when they're living in the midst of disaster? oh, sure, i hadn't been able to cry since then. it's not good, but i just keep it all inside your home. many days will little. it's very hard to hold the family together and still be strong vocal the
4:50 am
to take their minds off things. hussain takes his brother, bring him into the playground. this was rare in their old lives. the sibling suffer from a bone disease and have to be very careful. a few carefree moments are so important . now. this is the case for every one says the psychologist who looks after the children in the camp taken, i guess only jack, mom called children are very afraid. it will happen again because there are still tremors, as long as there was another one last night. many here have lost family and friends . i was so of course they are very frightening. talk which of yours she can do so many children get scared when their parents leave them alone, not beyond on being used to or even when they're just going to the toilet are non existent if they believe the earthquake was weeks ago. but benyamin and hussein no now that their old life is over and
4:51 am
on the home i really miss mom waking me up in my soft bed. exactly. well, you shall. shelf. it's not cozy here. no, no matter what, i'll never feel the way i did in my old bed. many earthquake survivors report never getting over their fears. even decades later. dancing doesn't help either, but it does distract the children a little and make them laugh. that alone is a huge triumph, is to get by every day is a little better. the children play games and are beginning to trust us in a given you. you can see them laughing job, which they couldn't do before. i good, very few here including blue means family. know what comes next. should they stay
4:52 am
here in the camp and wait or try to start a new life in a strange city? the thought is painful. it did it never so happy that our last payment on the apartment was due next month and it wouldn't even be a phone or could it? it was finally going to be ours. and now it's all gone. i don't want to see what our condition, mitchell. i try not to think about it. i play with my teddy bear po for dope to forget on this plane on this po for duke, a pink friend given to benyamin here in the camp, helps him forget the earthquake. just a little have you ever had someone tell you you look like some one else? it might be a film star or a politician. but what happens if the person you look similar to does something that you don't want to be associated with any more?
4:53 am
like this sky over here, vladimir putin has a look alike who lives in poland and who is anything but happy about what his own doppelganger has come to represent coffee with putin or rather with suave amir still, bella, the russian president's polish look alike, silva la, says he would never be confused for put in the position of the eyes. yes. and may be the lips, but it's really the movements that matter. hooton's, characteristic posture, for example, his stride all to pass out the door from the waist down. putin walks like a model leg symmetrical go, but ex tensed or stuck is from the way stop. he marches like a soldier that is spot on the left hand swings and the right hand is steady auxiliary to the liberal car. because k g b officers carry their weapons on the right side, the builder, and they have to be able to reach them quickly said, oh because you bellow, shrimp will probably sonya brown,
4:54 am
you will shoot on your ship cush anchorage. so bella runs a transportation company as his main occupation for a long time being putin was more of a hobby. that is until the full scale russian invasion of ukraine last year. that was a turning point for him to ms. gun shop to be sure. of course, i don't agree with what put in his doing shooting program. his present way of doing politics linger, but there's no excuse for such a thing. but no one should accept conflicts in which people dime pebble cove. i dropped the coffee, the jill jiggle. so while i used to star and funny commercials all over the world, he even performed in a musical. but he believed that would be in poor taste now, like i, he's become cautious and says he's been insulted multiple times. he or rather his look alike, isn't even welcome in his own home town. roth. 4th, who does this man look like a co tin, evil poodle bed creep? that horrible man?
4:55 am
oh, i don't even want to look at him. you drew on the voice, look, they thought is that who you or someone else? so the less career as a look alike began 11 years ago. mostly people kept telling him he looked like couldn't. so he got in touch with the photographer of doppelganger, is like those were different times. he says now what do you think you'll get to the school and people used to enjoy having their picture taken with him to post. but last year, isabella distanced himself from putting on his homepage. yes, thank you than himself hold of him. i'm the only person performing professionally as putin who does not live in russia, but in a free and democratic country. so just take a look. i will use this freedom to mark this desperate and his regime of ukraine. it's the only way i can help the people of ukraine. i hope it's long live for ukraine museum, though kramer now. so bellas selects his projects carefully. he doesn't want to
