as we take on the world, i do all this, yes, we're all about the stories that matter to you with those who we are, your is actually on fire for mines with 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 and tourist destinations like league garda, italy's largest league is partly located in an italy alpine landscape. and yet that 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 his water taxi. but at the moment, doris, don't need her service. aah! chief as he's known to the locals, is

a familiar face and lake garda. john column of china has been faring tourists 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 score fall. last year, when the lake was pretty full, the water went up to over an adult waistline. every law. so brother, chin toola 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 water level rise again in a fool. bad news for his water taxi business fraud about a $1000.00, but for at least 40 percent of the people prefer to cross on foot 3. i know fall then when they went to head back the summer tired of walking and take my boat

instead. hello lemon law. 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 sped. all omnibus, sat on the level is 60 centimeters below average compared to the previous year. all the la become around this time were normally at one meter in 20 centimeters over the defined 0 point law. actually had a cow method this year, read just 47 centimeters pasano window, sam. awkward on the sat there 20 method 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. a water flow from lake garda. we look we riddle about a 1000 a year. i can see the land is in check that nothing is blocking the barriers. thank us. throughout the quakers, an eager gar, me, everything's fine here still. she opens and closes the locks. this water is supposed to flow from here on to 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 mid summer found decade. 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 and 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 silos all of us on the fields are almost tried out. now already you can see it just by the dust that gets kicked up when we till the soil and come by and meet the remainder of odium. the current situation presents farmers like moreno with tough decisions. i bet you do the same unit into it's actually time to plant cry sir, but i don't even know what i could plan. it's incisive, koren, for instance, takes lots of water. now 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 he need to, once the work is completed in 2 years, we'll save about 150000000 cubic meters of water a year. it would that means more water for our fields zulu. according to an italian research institute, 50 days of continuous rain could change the situation. but the weather forecast has 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 avaya see than ever before. many countries are overwhelmed, including france, france calls guards have to deal with an increasing number of migrants trying to cross the english channel to reach the u. k. dana migrants as they're called your 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 carley. it's time to get ready for patrol. for these police officers, it's off to the coast. their job to stop migrants crossing the english channel illegally. 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, warning to my equipment is always within real. sure. don't is yours? reason is it is human during the day. all use normal binoculars. the appeal at

night, infrared use it. german of john. 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 deport 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 a yoga, so let's put the deeper look list. but, you know, also forgotten or with a goal tracking down smugglers who organized the boats or a game of cat and mouse with my boss, the position behind their equipment and come get it at night. what we'll do,

the area is very big. really there are hiding places everywhere and that remo vosta yet remo dakota up a bottle of water for the officers doubt that the new strict asylum rules across the channel were really deter refugees from traveling to britain. the lump of what is normal or jonathan fillmore push were so close to britain that when the weather is good and you feel like you could just jump over an equally good on that, i guess 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, as 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 darken the re get out. they will, they walked in very dance, and this should the do not looking for the nobody the true just through through there could be maybe the going to come to you her come to, you know, hearing your voice, your clinical it, we're going to the building most of our friends the by 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 thing. we did not have victoria 3 going through into your bill and you see what they're going to do for us morrow or from via the use of fill out that 3rd, the situation in a british, they're going to care about the sydney's right how dreary i'm going to try to do

many people feel the same way as mohammed says francesca, more astute. she works for an aide organization that also provides legal support to my grants. she believes that britain's increased pressure on the french police, but only increased the suffering in calais kind of air ur long. also learned that now her poorer tool is our core 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 the jar vicar, in north my mom in autumn at least 2 refugees took their own knives on hearing the news or one dose receiver. it's her effect his bus. if you follow 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 in ivy. this was in a smugglers car. thalia. this is the back end. we

looked up. that's huge. yeah. simple stuff was 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 it somebody vote? yeah, when do you say when the british criticize the french police lisa, and you're doing that? and i say let them show us how it's done down. they don't know what's happening here that couldn't do it any better than us recalls, even with more people that would be difficult to do that because francis coast along the channel spends 120 kilometers around calais alone. the patrol has to monitor $34.00 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 if 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 peace. ah young boxers from oliver bell, 1st train and ludlow 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 kids in here . the kids wouldn't bother each other and here this is where they meet. is ward of another friends. they would have never met each other on the streets of belfast. they 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 conflict partisan. um, if you, if they know your protestant that might my, like i thought most of the time a small i got that they're sort of um. com vinyl on there more forgiven. just around the corner, protestant paramilitaries loyal to britain are held 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 we're 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, ah, not as much animosity people wanted to think is each other. but once practically came along, people silicon that read littles liam's and get her some things. katy hayward, an expert on breck said to 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 source of our lives the year. never would have to do that so far that hasn't been necessary and i hope not. i'll never have a quick 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. in the end we find out that were there, there has been a small number of restrictions between ourselves and the u. k. and 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 done is accelerate the discussion under bit around a 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 it 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 and 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 breaks 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 fill vacancies. many schools have hi

beeble without 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 roles, parcel commute for an hour to his school and vegan. many of his teachers are in the same situation. it's especially hard to find teachers and remote lot of porn and todd from humans. would you mind our municipality has the only 2 schools in the canton of burn, which are not accessible by road, but only with public transit assessments in and we'll go from different yes, ms. long. this is over there. you can see mir hanover, which you can only reach by cable car. normally the side to reach of ng and you have to take the rack railway wrong thing and has had to be creative to do with its

teacher shortage. like i said, the on the matches is from the village, but it's not a qualified teacher to be it has to 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 playgroup 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 grandmothers there, my age. i know the children and the grandchildren came there. the children see no difference between sylvia anna and her trained colleague. oh, he's in 5. he said they're both really nice and they don't scold much. ne, shown for now. can principal any one can be a teacher in the canton and burn. not even amatory 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 in 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 middle i live and 2020, i teach nature and technology math in media and i t english, french and to last week. even taught a course called ethics, religion and society herself to find her 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 signals 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 were think, why do i need 3 or 45 years of training? if i could do without it at any hospital and a horn, him a how come 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. while principal parcel is proud of his new teachers, he also sees problems. instinct. yeah. if, if and take her come, it's a daily struggle. the, of course,

the new teacher comes with little experience and has to learn since he learned that really takes time and effort to 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 site 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 of one and tall, 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 bottle gans sardines are 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 store than 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 them back to the power of design can it works well psychologically, quote, because the product and the can is unchanged into real quality is the same to medically though. 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. we should go from there. so as you saw me, 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 not yet fair through it. and it's amazing what they,

how they present. it just looks amazing. it's like, you know, it's a from all the instagram ers paradise, just taking all the pictures of the pins beyond the 10 can the humble sardine is doing its bit to promote opportunities in portugal. lisbon has adopted the newly re booted pantry filler and its tourism campaign i, my job is a call from me. they are more and more young people are eating camp fish, which can it's a whole new market that rubbish. and we're promoting well by implementing new concepts, me the creating of fresh image so 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 into these unclear fortuna,

the tourism industry can use the sardines assemble, known, but shouldn't promote its consumption whole lease. it is promot 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 fee. thanks for watching. good bye and take care. ah . with
