growing up a major dance in russian control us on the southern ukraine officials in the area around until 5 couple set them have declared a state of emergency evacuations under way of the residents and coming up next is the documentary about how security policy, santa phobia, and the crew device and they make and the when you crane or lead to finding my patients to your i'll see you next time by the prophets hearing instead of response of the global business of asbestos. this is not a 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 article is sealed, the harvest community dependence on the fly was mike or enough for me to look at the end of the summer. we do everyone does. we weren't, we earn money back and pay taxes, us now follow strongly, white working class named 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 see, think that's not gonna get done. the europe wouldn't see 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 content, 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, russia's 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 8 structures were set up to help relocate refugees across the entire cost. and that would that be where you're going to probably 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 correctly. it's 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 awesome. so i heard everything will be all right. it will. i can. yes. go 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 so rob heading here and we desperately need to happen to ensure the goal is coming in or 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 soon and i'm not sure about maybe that's why it has this to me feel to me is, so can you hold on for one that was still working on it, but it was still the day now. the 1st full, these women dream is going back home. think 1st they've come here. we got very little luggage and only brought the base. they got somebody else lives. they all hope the war will be receiving. the bobbin is a very, 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 heart from emotional nebraska there, such as those each of the ukrainian refugees are benefiting from a surge of empathy and solidarity. but your, it 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 build walls since the fall of the berlin wall at 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 in spain, and in 2021. 187 kilometers of barbed wire were added between bellows and poland. here, 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 you the, this is the river, every else 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, 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 u 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 you 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. and you may as well feel like us, i am a member of the national guard. well, there are many of us here at the city of the anytime the army needs us,

we're ready to listen to most of them at the level of we learned about weapons, you know how to shoot of everything that's needed because without pay of course, we do it for our country and for our family. so give me give 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 ever 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 game of this. we were economic immigrant. this in the germany was looking for workers and media the beacon, lots of them is a we didn't sneak into the country. if we've been unable to find

a word and i want them to go, yeah, we would have come back columns to, but that is the most. as we weren't very little made, tax is like any one else. we did 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, pardon the expression. the greeks are here to me. i also experienced racism and work on it. just went abroad, you're always a foreigner, that never stops that declination of channels within the above. if the at some point you will experience racism in order to support those here in grace on them. i feel like i found my family again. so the name of my home country,

but there is the least i'm going to go with them and they'll give them do something else. and then it sounds like during they'll see me soon to be. so what is of the diesel, the going to have? so what is the western europe's post more economic 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. or 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, then went on to cologne. my mom came 6 months later, most of our problems with the documents are not so life for the use of in the family. talk to then cologne, 150 for me. they used to then will go to the category. was the mr. finance, which then they could start for my, the, i'm at the time of the good stuff, kind of all my pop up. com noise from the stuff the estimate of deutsch. my dad came to germany for the 1st time in 1958 as a guest worker. and a factory like, for his dream, was always to earn money here in georgia and go back home to naples and, and mercedes to them. then people would say, look at penny. no, he's made it. he's a big man. now i go. so i'm on. fortunately, that didn't happen. mission up because my dad still lives here. healy but still i feel both from the apology and from cologne. both equally a part of traits by hudson and of course the,

the of on, 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 spare to meet, meet these and it was only much later that we started to feel uncomfortable here on monday as foreigners inova. they called me spaghetti eater. before macaroni eater, 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 can judge is active to function on your ridiculous months of guns too difficult to cut on june. so there's almost that was the summer of 1999, the one grossey and under the bookstore. and i wrapped as spite and as to j, a quaker, and then one of us said one month, let's start a rough group wristband. so we found it microphone mafia right on the spot to your microphone. much it is when the visa of we loved this music's, i'm for me because we could identify with the people who made it. your tom let's

see, does punted. you didn't need any expensive instruments to mentor. yeah. just don't pen and paper. ultimately the field and shift their classes you me a form exists in the, on the 16 year old from that place are still in a, somewhere in their dreams have changed to move to the music. and if in sync with the guns neg america, the we realized right away but drop has this power to reach people, missions, human, old people identify with our lyrics with our music students. so we said ok, let's wrap about our lives or the but the stuff we weren't able to talk about shouldn't be able to see any, etc. clinton go. it was who's got the, the supposed to be the thoughts 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 traditional is, 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 this, what is, what was the advantage for years they 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 you must have integration. what do you know if that's being passed on to the next generation? but now there are people traumatized by war suffering and death. those peaks are still so we as the majority society, to which i believe we now belong to much of welcome people 1st. so that's essentially, that's what becomes what the 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 accustomed to the these dots represent the number of bodies that have been recovered to many fines are never registered. despite the dangers and all the efforts to discourage them, some migrants do manage to reach europe shores. they do deal as one of them. well, originally from senegal, he passed through libya before reaching spain by boat. someone in the us get us, thomas and yes, we're the ones who picks the fruit guys. mendoza is the reality. you see here at all and left for the best on that you make it on every one. picking fruit isn't imagery, although we'll get that. you 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 land to get federal home in the late pool receive miserable wages and suffer is to put in withdrawal. they don't have decent housing meant that thing that people are living under plastic sheets and police has made from wooden pallet because somebody called on pallet that might add a bedroom. i assume in the winter it's freezing cold and then summer scorching holidays get him to one point either. i mean, he can't ever relax like that. it's better to me, shameful. and not better when everyone prefers to look the other way. a bit of finish this distance exist side open was you know, 860, that's the reality of why so we already know they could at least build alternative housing. read. oh, and because there are tons of solutions better than this one, but i'm just mostly shown is me holidays,

gifts to it. but some of we deserve respect is going to be treated with dignity and it would be me seek on a bit of humana. see juanita essentially gave me this as the industrial park. he laughed associated espanol in spanish. society should understand that we are contributing to on to the we do. everyone does look at that. we weren't couldn't, we are earning money and paying taxes. it's almost but on the e, by the say, do deal is a member of us, new c and association, that provides aid and advice to migrants. it also campaigns for better working and living conditions, the si se, se give up to me. if i have some new so you can build a shelter to host 40 men and women, but then the authorities and the politicians could do even more ridiculous. no

point in the muskets though, it's a gesture to show they haven't been no more excuses than most that i can. i must expose us. 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 what, luckily there are farms where labor relations are more equitable. on bella gonzales as far migrant workers are treated with respect. you know, they all, the, when i was in school, there was a migratory workforce coming from within spain. use this zillow for my father. i had a team from savell, from the villages in tennessee. if you get it, they came just to pick stop, right? local, say to the producer, out of a room, but if in dire virginia, now this just

a small percentage of spanish workers and the rest of from molly rural cohort to go unplug area, the do i able to body you know, that i'm of you. how's it going to is the fruit. okay. i figured that yang yes. more or less. oh man. a lot of it matched me then. yeah. so lots button don't a ton a ton because same of what do we do then pay them black. paint them into see yes, much in the so then do you think oversee some 75 or 80 percent if the work is on not from spain? 80. and then the hobbits clearly depends on the flow of michael and on the agreements that the countries have made. and how this is being handled. geopolitically, we're going to take him on the 20 percent of workers in spain, from the agricultural sector come from other countries, mainly from outside the you. the statistics are similar in many other member states

. what, what europe do without migrant 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 the decade ago for workers secured the pension of one retiree. by the year 2016, there will be just 2 working people for every retiree. this ticking demographic time off causes 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, i know my next i met exposures here. is that you might have been to my standard line is here to pay my pension divide. i'm the typical old white german male. i'm 61 and been out in the line to the next generation to keeping comfy. in my old age, i thought supervisor's financially is 5000 times to be an angel was founded in

2015. was due to the humanitarian emergency situation and lack of support in berlin, which has developed even further has been we've placed 900 people in apprenticeship programs and around the same number and jobs on this empower aim is empowerment. we want people to be able to live their own lives without her housing. yeah, i was leaving. so i'm going to have the items that we have seating for 110 people and we have 7 trainees right now. our team consists of 16 people from 10 nations. we only work with refugees, crushed high. but that's the name of the war in syria forced us to flee, even after we settled into refugee housing. i started reading gemini, now i've been applied for official papers. i've got them right now of luna. so now i know you said that was with everything okay. gives us i missed you. did you

miss me? we missed you 2 such as the mother of the law, i registered as a language school and needed to reach be one not be to level 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, they came to set it for the restaurants and to react to them about a category. yvonne. so how did you get on with the interviews with a ok. see if for this the yes. okay, and easy for you, but you're still not happy and wish to free 9 by. it's been feeling close to shall know. because honest, 34 years old absence. i graduated in 2 months ago on the which means i'm a young chef nation on this head. so i'll only behave what

a young shepherd fuzzy which is disappointing. it's been a thirst. i. yes, i understand to help as far as i have experience have, i'm just as difficult to show you as 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 in the spring of 2022 under. they just took it and this team begin bringing ukrainian refugees, which light to poland and we'll go over to germany. for years, people from countries bordering eastern europe have immigrated to the u. but until now, for other reasons. this footage was shocked in the summer of 2021. at the bottom. yes. 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. within the e u. 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 most and all of this, you know in 1999 the rasmus program finally arrived in romania. i'm going to thoughts i'm going to apply for us and managed to get a scholarship. most of

a lot of booked on a romanian architect. living in belgium is one of those schools benefited from the idea of a unified euro to and i'm still with you about. i didn't know what leaving romania for you meant back in 1999 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 out of the consulting visa. she the purchase of the whole process was so she, many i seen and so tedious that when i listen to that, it was such a relief from 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, but when yeah, she got almost at the moment but i left behind my family and very many friends. i did miss the people. yes. long enough was the cause on some of the isn't when i

arrived and live and they didn't know much about romania and looked at me oddly the to that been to go. they associated romanians was biggest and thieves dangerous people wants to hum belgian roland all been genuine and they'd say your from romania could you go blue wise? i think some of the boys found that said a little scheme, but that will change when romania joined. the use of occupant know that bill? can i submit more? romanians more don't just as big as little thing is the doctor should thought police are holding it has changed. but it lets us keep bod. besides lose nobody in front of me. this was actually my own. m a h. the used most diversity around 75 percent of brussels residents. are foreigners or have foreign roots. lots of people go no, you're not viewed as a 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 brought up and who comes to the felt free because for the 1st

time in my adult life, because i knew i was safe, a single slab down to the very side to being european should offer a system protection solution sent. and the feeling that we can live online just signature on it. the 2007 was a crucial year for romania, along with the gary of the country joins the european union. many romanians immediately took advantage of this opportunity and left their homeland the it's in the bottom, you don't have that a one click ok, almost a full beacon romanians have immigration. that's a huge number with the remaining immigrants in case of the early and it's really quick on farms own as a euro box on all the construction site site visits. i hear people speaking

remaining that since i don't want to go to these of the romanian people, connection 05 bill then said you know, so she for some of the girls, so many romanian intellectuals who lived in this to the korea. so for the, for the cost is continua. i think that the 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 and some romanian doctor for us. avoid whom at the bookstore. one, 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 regions that are losing the most inhabitants. mainly in eastern europe, people are moving to more prosperous areas with more promising job 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 bulk areas will have left their country, making it the fastest population decline of any country during peacetime shoulders and i made him a for a lease or something of that assessment. this village is located in south eastern bulgaria and you know, to show to near the bowl gary a turkey border. she had a in the past and she, there were 1200 inhabitants, ocean you. but as of now, unfortunately. so there are just 35 people left out to cool. can you see fit to be jealous? unfortunately, for villages located far from the city. so that's what happens with the it's the

great migration that the people die that 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 the brack of there was a pop where we will gather the v. they through great counties, human look. now there are a new celebration for new policies. nothing new. good. everyone stays at home. they do me, there's no way to go to, you know, one to say a few words to no one to tell any stories to know. so inside you have a son who's now living in from for to if he comes in once every 3 months, the made that very nice of use the me do you got a tax life feeling forgotten and 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 and economically troubled parts of western and northern europe to

like and red card in the northeast of england, which has fallen on hard times. so the cult merrier. read cat a as in the top, 3 percent is deprivation. the country we've ida, numerous amounts of unfortunate happenings over the years that the made our area so creepy. those that revision scales still works have been around for around a 170 years. unfortunately, 2015, it was like large stocks of steel and, and unfortunately it died. my dad was in the state and zip is 36 years and i've got friends who have been in memphis the yard. yes. it really didn't get a lot of names, confidence it was it would be me to find

a statement of weld 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 sound legit say, you know the some of these james and it was just it just devastated people that really did devastate people. frankly 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 coat them home. frankie, 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 who are at the point where they would just like me to listen to. so we need to change, i believe that's what i'm, i don't know how i said i'm not an economist, but if, if i gave the european union a pound and they gave me 70 pens back, you know, i'd go on a minute based off the pants 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 and the lack of jobs across europe. people in disadvantaged regents to feel neglected and let down by their governments and elected officials. some politicians

target these fevers and frustrations. here, anti immigrant rhetoric finds receptive years. it 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 joined the you 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 returned home to be part of this upswing.

if that's of i'm of the i was working at the daycare center. i just, i thought if i would have to go back to poland and i do for one like that for parish children who are not going to show them how to learn languages and how much fun a 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 certain of them, but i was to, to stop my own business or show others what i learned in my years abroad and bring it back to bone and collect the push, but it didn't work out. unfortunately, you said that you want to have 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 found, nearly every employee at holland as barber shop was ukrainian.

the others are to test again. i was studying in the ukraine function, but i quit because they didn't see my future, their take home. that's why i moved here together with my girlfriends villanueva. she talked me into coming. see, i'm a came here together to study 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 to like the, to look at 1st i worked at mcdonalds and inspect even the worst job is still better here. let me know if it's not like you can live a normal life, even on the lowest wages and reflect and whatnot. like in ukraine, nobody knew it was like say tell him to say i have come here to stay and i didn't come just to work and go back lease around, which is you because 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, the new the moment about the something we also the system that we see things the same way. the kids have similar views as i've seen. but ukrainians have more in common with polls than with russians. and maya vince, the reason they when they're just flows, orient themselves to the west and that way of life isn't uh, on your spectrum the ukraine is not like that yet. the said, go either cuz you're going to use the phone and do some more research on it. but now that it is part of the, the, the compact 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 new country. the we got the waste of a have to i think many ukrainians will stay in europe 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 not like under that tyrant in russia, the probably sooner we'll take meal and bathroom breaks on route. great, thanks. welcome to the age of which we want to live, like people in europe do freely in a democratic country under the rule of law at some point tomorrow. which is that if we want to be law abiding to walk, we want to work to rebuild you crazy that the thought you, if 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, we use a job to submit like an evil empire. some studies law doesn't meet the person who must be life without democracy. and freedom isn't an option to, you know, we will live in europe for them, not a lot unless you call me 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 better life, both within and outside of your migration changes, not just migrant slides, but things in their host. countries to send to me them, let me get on some now to some bought it to me. immigration was my salvation response to the i did say i was privileged mike 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, there are revitalizing full sauce with the the helps and hills of

society. i consider this a good thing. the europe 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 want to be seen as future fellow citizens. many are already living and working on the continent. they are europeans to the
