a superstar among food, the author's love with d. w. ah, oh, what people have to say to us. mm. that's why we lose stories reporter every weekend on d w. ah, ah, hello and welcome to focus on europe. it's wonderful to have you with us. europe is drying up and it's not just the hot summer months that are getting more challenging

. many countries, especially in the southern part of the continent, are already struggling with drought and water shortages. it's only april and in spain dribbles have started to dry up exports. one that wild fires which used to be restricted to summer, might now become a feature of spring and autumn as well. across the continent, the effects of climate change are becoming ever more about it. including endurance destinations like league garda, italy's largest league is partly located in an intellect out by landscape. and yet the tributary is no longer carry enough water to the lake. this has made life difficult for people like john carlo fortino. he owns his living, driving tourist to be this islands in the lake and has water taxi. but at the moment, doris dorn need her service. ah, she as he's known to the locals, is

a familiar face at lake garda. john cosmo fortuna has been faring taurus over italy's largest lake for 40 years. but never before has he seen the lake like this in spring? where there once was water? now people can walk to the island on your school. so last year, when the lake was pretty full, the water went up to over an adult waistline. iraq, so brother in tula, carried the gold mall. the situation is very serious. there's a lot of all we can do is wait and hope it will rain for a month and make the white a level rise again in a fool bad news for his water taxi business fraud about a 10 dollar but for at least 40 percent of the people prefer to cross on foot 3. i know ball then when they went to head back,

the summer tired of walking and take my boat instead. hello mug. this is the only boat he can still moore at san diego island. his 2nd cutter is stuck at the port. no one chief knows remembers a time when the water level was as low as this. not at this time of year. at the southern tip of the lake and pascal delgado, ilario at a colony records the water level. every morning, she works for the regional water authority and he spent all on no bus saddle. the level is 60 centimeters below average compared to the previous year, or the la yagi somewhere around this time were normally at one meter in 20 centimeters. over the defined 0 point law. actually had a cow met this year, read just 47 centimeters pasano window. sam, awkward on the set, the attend timothy with so little water. the power plant, a few kilometers down the river has stopped to just beyond eliza sal leone. say

damn from this spot. ilario. erica lani controls. the water flow from lake garda he nor query de la, but after a year i can see the land is in check that nothing is blocking the barriers inc as the article cause any ga ga army. everything's fine here still. she opens and closes the locks. this water is supposed to flow from here onto the fields and farmland, south of lake garda, but there isn't enough of it now. chris sullivan law had sarah june. we normally don't reach this level until midsummer van de k. oh fuck, why that odd at etomo and trying to do the impossible. ha! soon i saw the deck when i had to strike a balance between the needs of residents living along the lake in farmers in the valley hot about quality dense eddie valley. that's no easy task and the stakes are high. last summer's heat,

wave cost farmers 6000000000 euros. just east of like got the you're swaby. farmer moreno cub outside is very worried about another drought. the sadness, all of us on the fields are almost dried out. now already you can see it just by the dust that gets kicked up when we till the soil come by. yeah. me through the mentoring i've already on the current situation presents farmers like moreno with tough decisions. i bet you that is shaminy into it's actually time to plant cry sir, but i don't even know what i could plant incisive corn for instance, takes lots of water in it. if you know if you know, but i don't know if we'll have enough water from the irrigation system until harvest time of the, i mean where clearly say me effects of global warming. the farmers and regional government have taken one 1st step. they used e u funds to renovate and seal the 1st section of the water channel. this channel is over 48 kilometers long in waters fields and meadows throughout the region.

unless you need to, once the work is completed in 2 years, will save about 150000000 cubic meters of water a year to get what that means. more water for our field zulu. according to an italian research institute, 50 days of continuous rain could change the situation. but the weather forecast is predicting sunshine over the coming weeks at lake garda, meaning chief and his water taxi aren't the only ones who might face a tough summer. ah. more people are risking their lives to enter your appli a c, than ever before. many countries are overwhelmed, including france, france goals guards have to deal with an increasing number of migrants trying to cross the english channel to reach the u. k. daniel migrants, as they're called, you small boards to cross the sea all year long. and that is exactly what the

british government wants to stop there. pushing ahead with a contentious asylum law designed to crammed down on illegal migration across the english channel. part of the strategy is to find patrols along the french coast, are a border accompanied one of these patrols on the cost of gully. it's time to get ready for patrol for these police officers. it's off to the coast, their job to stop. my grins crossing the english channel and legally they had out under cover all the cars were user unmarked. that way no one sees us coming. they patrol in groups of 6 to 10 people for their safety. they don't want to show their faces from nevada. to my toyota, the mayor brought in, learning to my equipment is always within real. sure. don't. is yours region is it is human during the day. i'll use normal binoculars bring over at night,

infrared juice, you. german looked young. oh, last here. so 45000 migrants illegally crossed the english channel into britain up from just 17000 the year before. for the british government that's too many. and is part of a crackdown on a legal migration. they are providing france with additional funds and manpower in the future. the british government plans to support those who make it across directly back to france. i think the while ago the patrol were accompanying know the operation through and through the study. and we try to spot hopes of migrants in the city, though, usually take the bus to the beach well, so your concern is but the deborah douglas birchum northshore saga lenore with a goal tracking down smugglers who organized the boat, saw a game of cat and mouse with me for the position behind their equipment and come

get it at night. what we'll do. the area is very big. that are hiding places everywhere. and that in remo, vosta, yet we're more dakota up, a bottle of ghetto for the officers doubt that the new strict asylum rules across the channel were really deter refugees from traveling to britain. well over what is more or jonathan fennimore push were so close to britain that when the weather is good and you feel like you could just jump over the on equity, qualify just when you traveled, thousands of kilometers and the goal is inside. you just don't give up your pontiac and not with just 30 kilometers to go. this camp houses hundreds of migrants who have set up tents to wait for the right moment to cross. 20 year old mohammed is one of them. he tells us he left sudan 3 years ago with his half brother fleeing government persecution on the way

here he says the 2 were locked up in a libyan prison for 6 months. really that threats so dorothy, the re gets out. they will, they walked in there dance, and this should. they do not looking for nobody that should just shooting, shooting to the maybe they're going to come to you here. come to you in your hair and here while you're in a place they're going to kill the most of our friends the die there. yes, mohammed's dream to study medicine in britain and become a doctor. the coastal patrols won't stop him from breathing the dangerous crossing . we did not have victoria through going through and through gilbert and the youth yorkville going to do for us morrow or from via the use of still our god 3rd, to threaten in a british they're going to care about the signals. right? how dreary i'm going to try to do

many people feel the same way as mohammed says francesca more assert, she works for an aide organization that also provides legal support to migrants. she believes that britain's increased pressure on the french police would only increase the suffering in calais kind of air along also on there. now her poor jaw twill, as i called havoc little on last year's decision to deport illegal migrants from great britain to wander, caused an enormous amount of distress for people. yet a glare, ah, by these are recorded in north my mom in autumn at least 2 refugees took their own lives on hearing the news, or one dose receiver. it's her effect. his bus. if you for me through a boy night has fallen and the coast patrol is back at the station. no attempted crossings were intercepted this evening. they show us one of the boats they confiscated a few weeks ago were with us it only v. this was in

a smugglers car for the liar. this is the back end. the luck. that's huge. yeah. simple stuff with yeah. how many people would it take of 50, i'm sure. in invented 20 to carry the boat. 20 more to defend. the group against us is in somebody. yeah. when do you say when the british criticize the french police lisa sinners with i say let them show us how it's done or done. they don't know what's happening here. the couldn't do any better than us recalls, even with more people that would be difficult. that's because frances coast along the channel spends 120 kilometers around calais alone. the patrol has to monitor 30 borders also play a crucial role on the island of ireland. it is divided between the republic of ireland, which belongs to the eel, another ireland,

which is part of the u. k. 25 years ago, the good friday agreement, and in decades of bloodshed between the catholics and protestants in northern ireland. but even of the conflict is officially over, all divisions remain visible. traditionally, the catholic community has supported the idea of a single independent ireland, whereas professions have support and being part of britain. but breaks it these divisions how once again become more apparent. now, a boxing club in bel, 1st, the capital city of northern ireland is working on bringing about bes. oh, young boxers from all over belfast train and leslie hall, protestant and catholic alike. but it is not always been this way. most young people in this city grow up segregated by religion. they rarely even attend the same schools. trainer gary black has been boxing here for 25

years and is proud of his club. this is east belfast. you have kids from west belfast. you have kids from north belfast and they all come over them. kat in here, the kids wouldn't bother each other. and he this is where they meet at ward of got another friends. they would have never met each other on the streets of belfast. free to fail for the boys to know that piece on the streets of belfast is fragile. if you're past in certain areas that are ca flicker protestant. um if they know your protestant that might not like it. but most of the time, a small, i got that they're sort of om, combine on that on there. more forgiven. just around the corner, protestant paramilitaries loyal to britain are hailed as heroes of past battles. they still hold sway as do. the catholic troops loyal to ireland, so called peace walls, divide the neighborhoods bombay

street in belfast is in a catholic area. most nights are quiet now, but since breck said the locals feel more tension in the air to source, you know, that's caused even more debate between the 2 sides of the community. because were in the european union and it was no identity crisis. everybody could be whatever the wanted to be. there was no borders. there was no walls, there was no, i'm not as much animosity. people want at the think as each other. but once bryce, i came along, people silicon that read littles liam's and get her some things. katy hayward, an expert on, breck said, northern ireland also sees breaks it as a major problem for peace. it's very much getting to the heart of questions of 17 identity. the very divisive in northern ireland. and so we've got a difficulty than in trying to explain the nuances and details of these new

arrangements in the new challenges and against the background of very simple and straightforward national identity priorities. brick set has also brought changes for businesses. the northern ireland lowden guitars produce his hand built acoustic guitars blue most are sold in the view in britain rex. it came as a shock to george lowden, the company's founder. one of the 1st things that what i said was maybe we're gonna have to move to workshops or over over from the south of our lives a year. never would wanna have to do that so far that hasn't been necessary and i hope not from the rehab. northern ireland is still part of the e. u. common market. so sending goods into the you poses no problems. but since

breaks it, some of his more expensive guitars now requires special papers to be shipped to the rest of britain. and then we find out that were there, there have been a small number of restrictions between ourselves and the u. k. a directly as a result of bridget some northern irish protestants fear losing contact with the rest of britain because of bricks. it in the catholic districts, on the other hand, many wish to unite with the irish republic. pat sheehan is a former member of the i r a and spent more than 18 years in prison. he was freed after the good friday agreement and is now convinced that ireland can be united peacefully. what i think brackson has gone as accelerate

the discussion under been around our united ireland. ah, because we have seen that the, the day in m o and the driving force behind brackson was english nationalism. that it's england that want that bracket. but we're being taken out against our well in the boxing club, most just want to know that the tensions raised by breaks that will not jeopardize their hard one piece. you don't want to see any shootings. you don't want to see bombings. you want to see these kids having a good life and hopefully with breaks of getting sorted out, they will order that they will have the best of both worlds for peace in northern ireland cannot be taken for granted and brag that has not made it easier to be a detail often means walking in a job that is not well paid. so it's no wonder that europe currently face of the shortage of skilled teachers sutherland has been looking for new ways to full weekend. sees. many schools have high beeble,

bowed for professional teaching qualifications, as well as people changing carriers. this approach is helping to solve the problem to an extent, but many details associations in the country view it critically. and it raises important questions about what you need to be a good theater school. principal rose parcel commutes for an hour to his school and banging. many of his teachers are in the same situation. it's especially hard to find teachers and remote not opponent tal. ma'am here in spokane, my entire municipality has the only 2 schools in the canton of byrne, which are not accessible by road, but only with public transit. marcia lawson and we'll go from here from yes, ms. long denise, this is over there. you can see mir hannah road, which you can only reach by cable car. normally decided to reach of ng and you have to take the rack railway hung ring and has had to be creative to do with its

teacher shortage. the black sylvian the marches is from the village, but is not a qualified teacher to be it us be i can you maybe work together? that might be a bit easier. i might now 56 sylvia on a study tourism and worked in hotels. then 9 years ago she took on a play group for small children in the school. now she works as a multi grade classroom teacher for children aged for to 8. for her, it's a dream job. i don't i wish i knew. i feel very privileged. i've lived here for 30 years and i know all the families. i know the grandmother is there my age. i know the children and the grandchildren came there. the children see no difference between sylvia anna and her trained colleague. he's in 5 years. they're both really nice and they dont scold much to me. shes friends in principal, any one can be

a teacher in the canton of burn. not even m a tory tate. this was high school diploma is required about 10 percent of the teachers and the count on do not have a teaching diploma sheer and not a one and tal. it's more than half the principal recruits teachers himself without consulting the authorities fissile one mentioned kind of the floor. we need people, not the plumbers. if a guy we let for people we think are suitable. and we know the people here and from here we're all very close and we know who is a good faith and bets one's past, but it's still tough for the principal to find suitable candidates. robin fun. almon was a lucky catch. he's 23 and has a bachelor's degree in biology, but he teaches much more and i guess in business for under different miller. i live and 2012 test i teach nature and technology math in the media and i t english, french and to last week. even taught a course called ethics,

religion and society herself to sign for how is unavailable to visit. the swiss teachers association is critical of the newcomers. teachers without the plumbers are urgently needed, but they should still earn their diplomas, says the associations president the sick gnarled osmond on its end, it late in the signal since by being able to work in schools without pedagogical training is that this profession doesn't require training. does he sent that off? many students of education will think on. why do i need 3 or 45 years of training? if i could do without it any hospital and a horn, him or her can. most of the new teachers in the valley never obtain their teaching diploma. sylvia anna says she's too old for that. and robin wants to do a masters degree research and just teach on the side. that while principal parcel is proud of his new teachers, he also sees problems. instinct. yeah. if his and take her come,

it's a daily struggle. the of course, the new teacher comes with little experience and has to learn him since 11. that really takes time and effort make the site. and so it's important that people stay for a 2nd and 3rd year on the scale to achieve good quality. the see and sight instantly this year he hasn't done with the political parcel says many new teachers leave after a year, but there is a glimmer of hope enrollment at the teachers colleges as roughly doubled in the last 15 years. the zurich university of teacher education has even opening a 2nd campus, but that doesn't help in the short term. in remote lot opponent, all 3 positions have already been advertised for the next school year. no one has applied yet. now can fish are usually seen as cheap food, but in bought a girl can sardines out a delicacy to we say what the small fish has become something of

a national icon and it's not just the base but also the marketing that has created the hype. some stores in the capital, lisbon have been built to in the success story a century old recipe. the contents might be the same, but on the outside, the can sardine has been given a new life to jago ferrera is reviving the fishy food east. present the back of the power of design can it works well psychologically to quote, because the product m a can is unchanged into the quality is the same to miracle. we love portugal is remarketing a classic product. this store is known as the fantastic world of portuguese sardines and inside there is nothing that reminds us of a traditional fishmonger, exclusive or some vessels. some of the 3 people are drawn in by the colors, the music and the movement inside. we want to create an experience for all the senses to introduce people, to the surprisingly diverse world of can't good seems nothing yet was fair through

it. and i, it's amazing what they, how they present. it just looks amazing. it's like, you know, it's a from all the instagram earth paradise. just taking all the pictures of the things beyond the 10 can the humble sardine is doing its bit to promote opportunities in portugal. lisbon has adopted the newly rebooted pantry filler in its tourism campaign. a measure of his uncle for me, they are more and more young people are eating camp fish and dish, cuz it's a whole new market and we're promoting them by implementing new concepts. me the creating a fresh image that people buy the portuguese products, even if they're a bit more expensive than the imported ones. after e u. s. session and trade agreements with morocco, portugal scanning industry struggled. modern marketing might be it's revival for some. this is problematic despite over fished, 13 stocks recovering recently to decently is wilson out. the tourism industry can

use the sardines assemble, known, but shouldn't promote its consumption whole assume believe it should promote other types of can fish like the horse, mackerel, for example. what good at all. once considered a poor man's food, the rebooted, canned sardine. it's finding its way into gore may eateries, thanks in no small part to clever marketing. that's it for this fi. thanks for watching. good bye and take care. ah, ah, with
