the mer to discuss is leaving have to him with a neighbor, but he can't afford to. and even if he could, the way out has become too dangerous. i don't know if he is for 3 younger children in his life. so for now, he's waiting it out. you're watching dw use life from bolen robots. how's your business appetite? after a short break, i was like a and for me and the entire team here invalid. thanks so much for watching. take care. bye bye. the security instead of responsible for the global business of asbestos. this is not legitimate business. the people that are in don't deserve to be treated with any kind of courtesy by the governments of the world. the never ending story

of asbestos starts june 21st on d w. how many of my friends have sacrificed their lives? so we can live like folks do in europe, me medical issues, the harvest community dependence on the flight was mike or enough for me that the audio look at the end of the summer. we do everyone does. we weren't, we earn money and pay taxes, each of us. our fault looks dominantly white working class men around here. we want our own place by doing it right away. everyone's new jerk reaction is close to borders, but these people will reach their destination. and when they do what happens then a few feet, and that's not going to get done. the europe wouldn't be what it is without the

work of millions of immigrants. there were a big part of its history. today the continent is confronted with its biggest wave of migration since the end of world war 2. millions of people have fled the war in ukraine. on the one hand, europe and europeans are welcoming these refugees from the east with open arms. on the other, for years it is closed, its doors to migrants arriving from the south. turning the continent into a militarized fortress which migrates, they are allowed to cross the use closed borders. this is the big question that divides your and its inhabitants. it's not just a humanitarian issue, more than ever your needs immigrants to breathe new life into an aging continent. the

for most europeans rushes invasion of ukraine came as a shock. faced with a mass of humanitarian crisis, europe reacted promptly. volunteers from across the continent took action testimony so you can sleep in 10 to one or 2 or 3 within days. countless age structures were set up to help relocate refugees across the entire continent. where you're going to project for the you was ready to help. member states gave refugees the opportunity to work and attend school right away. neighboring poland remains especially committed

since the war began. collect goods, population alone has risen by more than 15 percent. most every family in poland is helping ukrainian refugees in one way or another in keys in k, as in keith to defend circle of schools. they shut down a rocket today and this you to a residential building. again. i've been in groceries 5 minutes away from me. can you imagine? yeah, yeah, yeah. so i so i heard everything will be all right. it will i can use going to be that's got worked for a museum in clack, of wins. on the 2nd day of the war, she drove to the ukrainian border and brought back 2 bus loads of refugees. there is not a bad thing when we desperately need to happen to ensure the goal is coming in. and she and some friends turned a former university building into a makeshift hospital. it provides accommodation and support for up to $200.00

refugees, mainly women and children. before they continue on their journey, which most of the some parts of the area isn't perfect because it was set up in 2 days with money from private down and i'm not about maybe that's why it has this to me feel to is. so can you put on stuff on it was still working on it, but it was still the day and now the 1st full, these women dream is going back home. think 1st they've come here. we get very little luggage. only brought the base, they got somebody else lives. they all hope the war will be able to see what the problem is that. but i just hope that off of your appeals continue to sustain that goodwill case. the who lost a loan, which i'm dreading, who is a new strip. we may need the compassion and open house to monks along with us about your success. ukrainian refugees are benefiting from a surge of empathy and solidarity. but europe isn't always as welcoming to those who see gets help. crossing borders into the

e. u is proving increasingly difficult. many member states have built walls since the fall of the berlin wall in 1989 more than 1000 kilometers of new barriers have been erected in europe between greece and turkey. between hungary, croatia, and serbia. in stay with the many between morocco and spain, and in 2021. 187 kilometers of barbed wire were added between bellows and poland. p or migrants are constantly turned away. the, it's not just the walls and fences that keep potential intruders out. satellites and drones monitor the waters in and around the u. this is the river every 500 kilometers long. it costs a 2, it's a natural border between greece and turkey. it's also one of the most dangerous

entry points into your the river is constantly watched the greek police and army patrol it with the help of front tax the european border and coast guard agency. but this device of security comes out of cost. the you and greets, have invested billions of europe and reinforcing border controls. the latest development, this 40 kilometer long steel barrier meant to keep out any would be intruders. in recent years, thousands of people have tried to get across the gross board. many of them have also fled war in syria. afghanistan union revealed and they aren't welcomed everywhere with open arms. was in the me been in the illegal immigrants are a daily problem. the unfortunately,

a big problem they shouldn't be allowed in at all when you may as well, if you look us, i'm a member of the national guard. well, there are many of us here at the city of the any time the army needs us, we're ready to this with most of them at the upload, we learned about weapons. you know how to shoot of everything that's needed to go without pay. of course, we do it for our country and for our families argumentative illegal immigrants cause any trouble government. we know what to do, but hopefully that won't happen and it will cost us the how do ya? this is a farmer and cafe owner in a village near the river and for us as a child, he lived for several years in germany, when his parents couldn't find work in greece, as he knows himself what it means to be an immigrant. but for him, there's no comparison, gave me the last as we were economic immigrant,

this in the germany was looking for workers and as you become the messa, we didn't sneak into the country if we'd been unable to find a weren't able to move. well, no, we would have come back columns to, but that is the most, as we weren't very glutamate taxes like anyone else. we didn't some deal or anything with the the, the approval i left here when i was in 5th grade. i was in the beer hall, i'd hear german say be like, pardon the expression? the greeks are here to me and i also experience racism and work on it just went abroad. you're always a foreigner. small that never stops that are going to is and of channels within the

above. if the at some point you will experience racism and others as well. those here in grace on them. i feel like i found my family again. so really my mama, my home country, but there is um, the least on being as you go with them and don't, you know, do some folks and then they just don't take through it and they'll see me soon. they'll be. so what is of these on the go map? so what is the western europe post war economic pool would scarcely have been possible without its so called guest workers, mainly from turkey and greece. they were only meant to stay for a while, yet many settled permanently and brought their families. these guests became fellow

citizens, which wasn't easy for either side. the money at times the parents came to germany in 1968 and 69. this my father arrived in munich and 68 to come, then went on to cologne. my mom came 6 months later, most of our problems with the documents. not so life for the use of and family started in cologne, 150 for me. they used to then go, go to the category, was the mission of video, which said they could fax for my the i'm at the time of touched up all my pop up. com noise from the shed does the estimate of deutsch. my dad came to germany for the 1st time in 1958 as a guest worker in a factory. like, for his dream, was always to earn money here in georgia and go back home to naples and, and mercedes. so then then people would say, look at penny. no, he's made it. he's a big man. now i go somewhere. unfortunately, that didn't happen. it's enough because my dad still lives here. healy but still i

feel both mini a policy and from cologne. both equally a part of the strengths by hudson and nicholas the vaughan. i know people on getting done took we were quite in the group of kids, michael connell, director donations moroccans, greeks, spaniards, on few mission, want to me. we were all the same time on this come, i'd say a few spread to meet mid season. it was only much later that we started to feel uncomfortable here in mind as foreigners and double. they called me spaghetti eater before macaroni, eat or go. when he flips the money, that's what i'm to my parents told me, i must be need to be 10 times more germany than the germans for them to accept you . production is active to you for continuing to respond to difficult to come on to . so that is almost as well as the summer of 1999. when glossy and under the bookstore. and i wrapped in spite to j. a cool jacob,

and then one of us said one month i started a rough group. so we found a microphone mafia right on the spot to microphone much. it was when the visa visa, we loved this, music's i'm for me because we could identify with the people who made it. tom, she does punch it. you didn't need any expensive instruments to mentor. yeah, just don't pen and paper move to the field and shift their classes. you me a form existing beyond the 16 year old from that place are still in a, somewhere in their dreams have changed to move to the music, live in sync with the guns nega minutes of the we realized right away, the drop has this power to reach people i'm, is human, old people identify with our lyrics with our music students. so we said, um, okay, let's wrap about her lives through the but the stuff we weren't able to talk about to move on to see any, a to clinton's was who is good. the,

the supposed to be adults, germany gave me and my parents a lot 30 years ago. i see she including a certain way of thinking these are some of the traditionals is a bit from the left a bit from the right within. but also a bit out of the box. ok. because there are so many cultures here on using the, the sort of what was he also talking about. and here's the expected us to integrate . how much more can we do? we go to school work and your kids go to school here was the parents did so much for this country on what even if they're still saying, because you must have integration with, you know, that's being passed on to the next generation. but now there are people traumatized by war suffering and death. those key to so we as a majority society to which i believe we now belong to much of welcome people. first health that's eventually has become sort of job.

many men and women are willing to do anything to reach europe, but the reality is only a tiny fraction of them making every year, thousands of migrants drowned trying to cross the mediterranean. more than 20000 between 20142021. a tragedy that europe has grown a custom to the these dots represent the number of bodies that have been recovered. so many fines are never registered. despite the dangers and all the efforts to discourage them, some migrants do manage to reach europe. shores say do deal is one of them. originally from senegal, the pastor, libya before reaching spain by boat. someone in the us get us thomas of and yes,

so we're the ones who picks the fruit guys. mendoza is the reality. you see here it'll and left for the best on that you make it on everyone. picking fruit is an immigrant will get, they come in and everything that you eat and enjoy it home with your families. that's going to disappear. like people who are suffering killer a whole then just so you know, the in the just look all of the sun s o head to get federal home in the late pool, receive miserable wages and suffer a so for the in which or they don't have decent housing meant that thing that people are living under plastic sheets and police has made from wooden pallet, but because somebody called one pallet that might add a bedroom, i assume which in the winter it's freezing, cold. and then summer scorching home is gonna be $142.00. i mean, you can't ever relax like that. it's better so shameful. that's a lot better when everyone prefers to look the other way. a bit of finish this distance exist side open with even though he did, that's the reality. why?

so we already know they could at least build alternative housing. beautiful. and because there are tons of solutions best worth of this one. but i'm just most certainly shown is me, holidays, gifts to it. but some of we deserve respect is going to be treated with dignity. and with the me peak on a bit of humanity. juanita essentially gave me this as the industrial part. he laughed, associated espanol in spanish society should understand that we are contributing to onto the we do, everyone does look at that. we weren't, couldn't, we are earning money and paying taxes. it's almost like 12 bundles, e, by the say, do do a is a member of us and lucy and association that provides aid and advice to migrants. it also campaigns for better working and living conditions. the c,

f, b, c. give up to me if i some new so you can build a shelter to host 40 men and women. but if you move in and then the authorities and the politicians could do even more, because no point enough here must guess to is a gesture to show they happen to no more excuses than most of that can. i must be exclusive. the conditions on some farms in southern europe are reminiscent of those in the days of slavery. cheap workers for cheap food in which you're the luckily there are farms where labor relations are more equitable, and valid. gonzales as far migrant workers are treated with respect the model. the old uh when i was in school, there was a migratory workforce coming from within spain use this zillow. my father had

a team from savell from the villages and finished with you get it. they came just to pick store product, local, say, to the producer out of a room. but if and i hope you're getting you into now, this just a small percentage of the spanish workers and the rest of from molly monroe cohort to go unplug area to do i, a lot of you know that a lot of you, how's it going to use the fruit. ok for that again? yes. more or less? a lot of it last week. yeah. so lots button don't a ton a ton because then what do we do then pay them black. paint them into see yes. much in the so then the think about a few of them, $75.00 or 80 percent of the workers on not from spain in the hospice, clearly depends on the flow of migrant on the agreement that the countries have

made. and how this is being handled. geopolitically because most of the day of him on the 20 percent of workers in spain, from the agricultural sector come from other countries, mainly from outside the e u. the statistics are similar in many other member states. what, what europe do without micro workers, there's a backbone of its economy. caregivers cooks, couriers, doctors by 2 specialists. there's also another argument to be made for immigration. europe is aging, and demographers are sounding the alarm. soon. there won't be enough young people in europe to ensure its prosperity and standard of living a decade ago for workers secured the pension of one retired. by the year 2016, there will be just 2 working people for every retiree. this taking demographic time

off poses a threat to every country in europe. the projection show that if germany wants to maintain growth and preserve its social systems, it needs to take in 400000 migrants a year. and that's why, since 2013, the country has welcome some 2600000 refugees. what integrating them is not always easy for the new comers or their host country. both need to be open to what can be a long process in berlin, the restaurant be an angel is a project set up to promote integration run by a charity. it was founded by former journalist under they asked to come into my nest, and that's please use here is that you might have a device standard line is here to pay my pension device. i'm the typical old white german nail. i'm 61. been out in the line to the next generation to keeping comfy

in my old age. i thought supervisors financially as 5000 firms to be an angel was founded in 2015, was due to the humanitarian emergency situation and lack of support in berlin, which has since developed even further has been. we've placed 900 people in apprenticeship programs and around the same number and jobs and this empower, aim is empowerment. we want people to be able to live their own lives without her housing. yeah, i was leaving sound good. yeah, behind me we have see thing for 110 people high, but we have 7 trainees right now. our team consists of 16 people from 10 nations. we only work with refugees. crushed the spelling of the war in syria forced us to flee. but after we settled into

refugee housing, i started running, jim, and i know i've been applied for official papers. i've got them not know of luna. so now i know you said that was with everything. okay. give since i missed you, did you miss me? we missed you 2 such as the mother as a global i registered as a language school and needed to reach be one of the 2 levels of it. money, any gym and certificates go a long way. here i looked for a suitable career. the where i learned cooking was my passion when i started working here making decisions for the restaurants and to react to them about a category. yvonne, so how did you get on with the interviews with the okay, steve for this. the yes. okay. and easy for me. yeah. but you're still not happy and you're still free 9 bye. it's been feeling alive to show no. because i'm

34 years old as soon as i graduated in 2 months ago on the, which means i'm a young chef nations on this head. so i'll only be paid what a young shift for the which is disappointing interest. i guess i understand to help as far as i have experience on the certificate. the issue is i've done an internship. yeah. the photo is thing is i think 2 years experience should be enough to get a good starting salary. we'll see. yes, i'll keep trying the vice the in the spring of 2022. under the us, toyota and his team began bringing ukrainian refugees, which led to poland. and we'll go over to germany. for years, people from countries bordering eastern europe have immigrated to the but until now

for other reasons. this footage was shocked in the summer of 2021 at the bottom, yet check point on the ukraine. poland folder every day, thousands of ukrainians lined up to go to work in poland. it shows, even before the war broke out, how close ties were between the 2 countries, the 6 months later, ukrainians were lining up again. this time to flee putin's army and to regain their lost freedoms and safety. things can change incredibly quickly with any issue, people move from one country to the next without giving it much thought the. it's easy to forget that this freedom is an achievement. and that the free movement of peoples is one of the pillars of the european idea of the one that's also foster decades of economic growth in austin was as you know,

in 1999, the restless program finally arrived in romania. i'm going to thought i applied for us and managed to get a scholarship. most of the book done. a romanian architect, living in belgium is one of those schools benefited from the idea of a unified you're up to and i'm still with you about. i didn't know what leaving romania for you meant back in 1999. we're open to been thrown on she has done some not, it meant tons of paperwork was not successful. copays medical tests and other things to get my visa or the consulting visa. she the purchase of the whole process was so she, many i seen and so tedious. but when i listen to that, it was such a relief for me. i said to myself, i'm thank god you're out. i because you guys knew no, i didn't want to go back. that's how matt. i wasn't romania,

romania and she that almost at the moment. but i left behind my family. very many friends. but i did miss the people. yes. on and off of the counselor that isn't when i arrived in live and they didn't know much about romania and looked at me oddly the to dots and to go they associated romanians was biggest thieves, dangerous people. want to home belgian roland. all been genuine and they'd say your from romania could you call blue was awesome. someone with a voice from that said look let's, let's keep about that will change when romania joined, the use of occupant know that bill and i'll submit move romanian. um, i want to take as little saying it's dr. sure. thoughtfully through holding and has a change to put it. let's. let's keep bob besides lou liberty in front of me. this was actually my own. m a h. the use most diversity around 75 percent of brussels residents are foreigners or have foreign ribs. 2 votes if you go no,

you're not viewed as the foreigner and brussels issue to really you just one of its inhabitants. i'm going to model when you state romania is still not able to protect its citizens. this other belgium is the boat up and who comes to the felt free because for the 1st time in my i don't last. i knew i was safe to simplify the very fact to being european should offer a system protection to assistance and the feeling that we can live online just the signature on the 2007 was a crucial year for romania along with the guerria. the country joins the european union many romanians immediately took advantage of this opportunity and left their homeland the to the bottom. you don't have that a one click ok, almost a full meeting. romanians have immigration. that's

a huge number with the remaining immigrants. okay. so the only initially confirms the owner as a euro box and then on all the construction site site visits, i had people speaking remaining this is one called us. these are the romanian people who are not shut off on bills and feed you so she put them on the do so many romanian intellectuals who left this to the korea support for the cost those continua. i'll keep that up for, for so no, no, no, no, far the 3rd issue, the example, for instance, when i go to any hospital clinic and brussels, nico doesn't exist though i always see the name of some romanian doctor for us avoid the doctor on some leave others stay such a mass exodus as of workers have left ghost towns and deserted areas all over europe . here in red,

we can see the regents that are losing the most inhabitants. mainly in eastern europe, people are moving to more prosperous areas with more promising jobs markets in blue on the map. it's a special agreement book area, which has lost 15 percent of its population in the last 20 years. and it's predicted that by 2040 over 30 percent of bulgarians will have left their country, making it the fastest population decline of any country during peacetime facilities. and i made, i'm afraid these are some of that assessment. this village is located in south eastern bulgaria and we know to show to near the bowl gary a turkey border. she had a in the past and she, there were 1200 inhabitants nation. you. but as of now, unfortunately. so there are just 35 people left out to cool 3 c h t. the

most is jealous. unfortunately, for villages located far from the city. so that's what happens with the it's the great migration because people die it out to you, but no babies are born generally. that's all there is to it. so i'm going to do my english according to the bit of a brack of there was a pop where we will gather the v. they through great counties, human look. now there are no celebrations for new policies. nothing new. good. everyone stays at home. do me. there's no way to go do this for you. no one to say a few words to no one to tell any stories to no soul inside you. i have a son who's now living in from for to if he comes in once every 3 months that didn't make that very nice of use the me do you got a tax life feeling for gotten into a band and it's

a frustration that doesn't just eat a way of people in southern and eastern europe. this feeling of abandonment also exists in economically troubled parts of western and northern europe to like and red card in the north east of england, which has fallen on hard times. so the cult merrier. read cat asian, the top 3 percent of deprivation, the country we've ida, numerous allowances on function happenings over the years that the made our area so create for those that revision scales still works have been around for around a 170 years. unfortunately, 2015, it was like large stocks to steal and, and unfortunately it died. my dad was in the state of

the cheapest 36 years and i've got friends who've been in memphis the yard. yes. it really didn't get a lot of names, confidence it was, you know, being made the find a statement, a world and now, you know, they were going to be told to go out to going, cautious to be the rest is and, you know, make coffee and sandwiches. you know, the, somebody's chance and it was just, it just devastated people. it really did devastate people. franky wales runs a charity that's trying to bring a ray of hope back to the people of red car. the former box or has made his boxing club a pillar of his organization. the classes are very popular with the local youngsters . there's not much else for them to do in town.

at cobham hall, franky wales organizes a variety of events that provide entertainment and good cheer. most people here feel far removed from what's happening in the major cities. in 2016, the majority of red cars residents voted for breakfast brackets. it was very important for us. 71 percent of the people in this town voted to leave. people are at the point where the would dislike musician today. so we need to change. i believe that's why don't i don't know how i said i'm not an economist, but if, if i give the european union a pound and they gave me some depends back a needle. i've got a minute west off to a pinch going. so i'm, i'm quite happy for, for us to spend our own money, make our own laws. we want the industries to come back. we want our own place by

no pay at the lack of jobs across europe. people in disadvantaged regents feel neglected and let down by their governments and elected officials. some politicians target these fevers and frustrations. year anti immigrant rhetoric finds receptive years. it's slogans and policies divide, not just communities, but all of europe itself. still poland is an example of how quickly things can change after it joins the e. u in 2004 many poles left to work in britain or other member states for wages and standards of living or higher. but many have since returned. and not just because of breakfast, the business is booming, and poland in 2021. it had the 9th largest economy in all of your the city of which,

once known as the manchester of poland, exemplifies this transformation. kasha hollis is one of the many emigrants who return home to be part of this upswing. if that's if i'm of the i was working at the daycare center. i just, i thought if i were ever to go back to poland and i do for one like that, the parents children are not going to show them how to learn languages and how much fun daycare can be. gimme a can also find that the kids wouldn't even want to go home with the adults was the main reason why i came back for 10 of them. but i wanted to start my own business or show up as what i learned in my years abroad. and bring it back to bone and to let me push that to but it didn't work out. unfortunately, you said that it was all has ended up with of office shops, but polls returning from abroad can't make up for the labor shortage caused by the economic boom. pollings ruling law and justice party,

which is traditionally very anti immigration, was forced to turn to neighboring ukraine when the scenes were filled. nearly every employee at hollis as barber shop was ukrainian. the others are to invest again. i was studying in the ukraine function, but i quit because i didn't see my future there. so that's why i moved here together with my girlfriend's deal and i thought she talked me into coming. see, i'm a came here together to study in the studio which left to the dentist is one of the many ukrainians who come to poland to work and finance their studies if the day is that. so that's, that's what to look at. first i worked at mcdonalds and stuff, even the worst job is still better here. and let me know if it's not my go to, you can live a normal life even on the lowest wages. and reflecting was not like in ukraine. no

kidding. it was like say, saw him today. i have come here to stay and i didn't come just to work and go back lisa wrong. as i feel a little bit of both cheerfully and ukrainian for lucky echo could i have not sent you an apple the the that was included in the what the venue is moments about the summit. we also system that we see things the same way that you have similar views as i say. but ukrainians have more in common with poles than with russians and my again. so there isn't a when you're just close, orient themselves to the west, and that way of life isn't. uh, on your spectrum. those ukraine is not like that. can't really say,

go either cuz you're going to use the phone and disney, while it's on it. now that it is part of the, the so the compared to ukraine, you, would you still hoping to get into the new because from my vision of it for the it was in the summer of 2021 life and poland seemed full of promise for julia and denis, 7 months later, russia's invasion of ukraine changed everything. while you're here with desperately trying to get her family out of ukraine, dennis was nowhere to be found. his cell phone wasn't working, the ukrainians clean their country, have now been granted temporary protection in the u. this emergency measure it gets all ukrainian citizens the right to live and work in any you country the

we got the waste of a have to i think many ukrainians will stay in here on the behalf, so many will come back to rebuild the cream. so the resurrected door, what do you model machine, what are people are dying just so that we can live freely, man is really not like under that tyrant in russia, the probably sooner we'll take meal and bathroom breaks on route. great, thanks. welcome to the issue which we want to live like people in europe do freely in a democratic country under the rule of law. oh, that's some kind of tomorrow for me. yeah. which is that if we want to be law abiding to walk, we want to work to rebuild ukraine at the thought. yes, you would not be to. there's no doubt that we want to live like in europe. many of my friends sacrificed their lives so we can live like folks do in europe for years, a job. the thoughts of that like an evil empire. some studies love

me, the person who must be life without democracy and freedom isn't an option to you. and then we will live in europe for the last week. and that's why it was easy to and that's why that's why our families are fighting. this poor people will always move in search of security. freedom and a veteran life, both within and outside of your migration changes, not just migrant slides, but things and their host countries to send to me them, let me get on some now to some bought it to me. immigration was myself ation respond to the idea. say i was privileged, my god. in the meantime, over the past 20 years, i've come to the conclusion that this privilege works both ways that you want any

kind of meaning that those welcoming immigrants enjoy this privilege to let you, that there are revitalizing full software. that helps and hills society. i consider this a good thing for the board, the, your most recent gets immigration policies from a humanitarian and practical point of view. the crisis in ukraine has shown that the you can welcome large numbers of refugees swiftly and efficiently, rather than leaving them in limbo for years. the europe needs to find new ways to receive and integrate people. these migrants have rights and wants to be seen as future fellow citizens. many are already living and working on the continent. they are europeans to the

the, the decals in india seems around $1000000.00 tons of the year. 2 percent of business recycling a daily basis. don't come up with the most positive. catching me from

is game changer in the fight against mountains of waste in 30 minutes dw. and i wish i could have done more the same. you just click away. find out based on you to really see the world as he's never seen it before. the drive now to dw, talking into one small step for a robot vacuum, one giant leap for exploiting the ocean floor. cutting edge technology is unlocking the potential of deep sea mining. but this time,

a research team will study the possible risks 1st, the water to minimize them the we have an opportunity to get it right from star environmental activists or skeptical is this true nature conservation for only green washing. after all, there are billions to be made. our chief documentary, deep sea greed starts june 8th on d, w. the . this is dw in use, and these are on top stories. ukrainian authorities say the forces conducting what they call offensive actions on the front line, including in the region around buff moved moscow famed russian forces. henry.
