i hesitates almost every place. so theme you do in this country like to keep taking on the powers that be the risk. everything turned into our needs. activists, journalists, and politicians living in exile the way to which they move for their mission. what drives them. people need to know what is happening there were series guardians of truth watch. now on youtube dw documentary the this is focus on europe. i'm alara babble a welcome. summer is upon us, and europe is facing another drought. there are fears that the next ecological

disaster is just around the corner like the one on the older river last summer. millions of dead fish were found floating on the border river between germany and poland. tons of cartridges will retrieve some of the water. the high temperatures and low water levels caused an explosion of golden algae, which is toxic for freshwater fish. and once again, dead fish are piling up in the older river and the hunt for the causes on which to focus on areas in south western poland. scientists have detected extremely high levels of salt in the rivers. tributaries. salt promotes the growth of the toxic golden algae. environmental lists aren't the only ones alarmed by the threat of a new ecological disaster. you chart gab ron is a passionate fisher, but he's beginning to think his days of catching perch pipe or xander in the order are over. it seems to be happening again. fish are dying off in

the odor river. the border between poland and germany. we see them near floodgates tributaries on the polish side are also effected with recent reports of hundreds of tea. lowes of dead fish killed by golden algae resort government grew up along the old playing on the river banks. he's going fishing there since childhood days. those days are over so that's, you know, and this is where i learned to fish where i grew up so that, that now this is like an assault on my memories. lot more exponent. in the summer of 2020 to some 400 tons of fish. about half of all fish tanks in the order and its tributaries were found dead. analysts planes, hi salinity and the river water. but where did all the salt come from?

coal mines in the region or the prime suspects, dumping highly sailing waste water into the rivers. green piece asked chemistry professor electric pays their skate to investigate. when he tried to collect water samples near one of the mines, police and security personnel showed up. there were heated discussions. his investigation was clearly on wanted to finance mobile, who are you anyway? we'll just jump on you, maybe you could introduce yourself. oh, so you don't want to. then you know what? to me. you're not even here helping. you pulled up the new muscle. professor punch desk, he and his team are focusing on the whole limber coal mine. they take water samples from the club, meets on a tributary of the odor wastewater from the plant has already mixed with a river water here, a positive skis. why it's helps with the analysis. he chose

a salt content 6 times higher than normal to what he did it of course as a ok, you're also not sort of the new alternative but not in a lot of amounts. however, is that in very big amounts in waste, what those from mines like mine, holland book and so we can, i will make another measurements of the ways to work of it. so they need to itself professor post there's keep, finds the minds discharge plan. this is where the waste water flows into the river day after day, almost continuously. the high solidity creates ideal conditions for goals and algae . it normally thrives only in sea water and it's lisa to fresh water fish. the green peace activists measured alarmingly high salinity levels right here by the coal mines. so as you can see,

this is 18 times more then water in coordinate sites. so for the problem of selling you see will, will increase intensity because the water levels are much smaller in the summer time, especially when that are high temperatures. because water as operates cells and does not. when contacted, the mine management denied any responsibility for the fish styles, insisting they observe all the legal requirements for waste water disposal, polish industries dump waste into the odor and its tributaries through over 10000 discharge pipes. and they do so quite legally. pullman's limits for salt in waste, water are barely even defined. as we inquire about the polish environment ministries plants to reduce salinity in the rivers. the emails response consisted

of general information on the water pollution control and an assurance that preventing such disasters and future had absolute priority and not a word about salt contamination reactions from the people who live on the order assembled in vigorous and volkswagen. some are outraged at the official response while others haven't heard of the recent style. 40 to check. these are political reasons. somebody doesn't want to name a cult for it up to, and that's all. it's not true that the fish in the older have are healthy. you know, ok, is it over to the mom is personally, we don't have that much contact with the water. we don't go fishing so we're not very interested in the issue. and some of them with each new report of dead fish and the older restart guy. brown, who once loved to go fishing, lose this hope that anything will get better. that you himself,

i never for executive, i have lost my confidence in this river, pays it so i don't trust this river. it's. i don't see any point in going fishing in this polluted water. is that the thing was that was on a budget in autumn, poland will be holding elections and may get a new government. it's a ramp hope for many along the odor. would rather not just sit back and watch the fish die of finding an affordable home in london. these days can feel like winning the lottery. britons capital is one of the most expensive cities to rent in the world. the market is so competitive that people often have to show a big box for small spaces. people like louise humphrey are experiencing the housing crisis 1st hand. after a long search, she finally found an apartment to rent. but peace of mind is proving elusive with both her wallet and her nerves. strange home sweet home. louise humphrey never thought she'd be so happy to live in

a one bedroom apartment. she and her boyfriend jo pay the equivalent of $1600.00 euros rent before utilities for their 45 square meter flat. they lived far from the center of london. both have university degrees and good jobs, and are in their early thirties. they found this apartment after 2 months of flat hunting. they've you dozens of places and sometimes even paid for viewings. they were up against hundreds of other flat hunters. one of the places that i viewed when i was looking didn't even have a real kitchen. you essentially opened a cupboard and there was like a sink, a microwave. and that's for it's, you know, and i just thought, oh my god, like a true sure lives like this. i guess that's one reason why 33 year old louise isn't too fussy about the state of per flat. they're boiler was fixed after 2 months, but they still only have lukewarm water. the refrigerator is also broken,

but the landlord is nowhere to be found. louise prefers it that way. otherwise the landlord might consider raising the rent the building is converted office block. so in the winter time, the damp and the mold see, and the, i mean there's always down to the mold in british properties. i've never lived in a rental accommodation yet, but didn't have them put an old, but literally you'd wake up and they'd be like rivers running down the windows. and you'd clean the mould away with special spray and a couple of days later it would have creeps back up the wall again. at least they don't have to move back in with their parents. throat england, almost 4000000 adults live with their parents. that's 700000 more than a decade ago. misguided policies cost the housing crisis gripping london and the rest of the country. so that's urban planning expert. and i mentioned 30 years ago,

social housing construction was virtually abolished. millions of affordable social housing units were sold off since then. the free market has dictated rents, which are rising dramatically. people in london is spending on average move in 60 percent of that income on that housing costs. according to research, if you spend holding 30 percent of your income on housing that causes mental health problems. so there is no doubt that we are in a terrible situation with housing in london and in the u. k. who widely in the u. k. many believe the market will sorted out. plenty of is the dental properties are going up. is that sold off plan uh before they've even being built and that's sold in a foreign property investment fads around the world rather than to london is

uh prices which fall exceed. uh well, uh, the majority of, of, of the, this could, a for numerous london homes are empty, serving merely its financial investments or speculative purchases. mentioned says the problem can only be tackled with major political interventions in the housing market. with solutions like a rent kept setting up a comprehensive social housing program and bottling speculators and greedy landlords. lin pearman fell victim to one of them. now she is homeless and lives in a camper van, which he's parked in margate on the coast, 2 hours drive from london. after being kicked out of her apartment when sold all her valuables and bought this span. yeah, i just don't want to give it guy. i've got nothing to lose. i couldn't say oh,

would get you couldn't even get a room for the money that i was allowed and to take the rest of my pension with me . no, it's just not based of all of especially with the cost of living going up with the electric. the gas and the bill's been lost. her flat, when her rent increased from 500 to 820 years at the time she was working as a fitness coach and caring for a mother suffering from dementia. today her pension is enough to pay for petrol. she's got 12 years a day for food and takes showers and friends, homes, and chairs, her experience on tick tock where she's got over 55000 followers. still she remains optimistic, loading, but we'll deal as much as we test. and i think i always say a positive and it a very negative. and i think, you know, the way i feel right now, i don't know what you know. you come back, you 6 months time when i'm freezing. lynn says her story borders on the romantic or even kitch, but for young people she thinks it's much harder. i'll just as long as i can. and

no one knows around the corner that i keep calm and carry on model through until winter, when it gets cold. louise and joe calculated what it would cost to buy a home. there's no way they could afford it. the government's breakfast, fiscal policy has driven off interest rates on loans over the past year. no wonder louise says that young voters don't care for the conservatives. i would love to leave the country. hey, i, i study, i think is that already i lived in systems. i study there for 2 years. i think one of my biggest regrets is not working harder at the time to try and get a job in switzerland because then i, then when is before brags, i'm renting and buying homes. it's getting more expensive all the time in the u. k . so much so it could become the privilege of the rich. but it's this lack of affordable housing that might suite the conservative government out of office next

year. the from a housing shortage to a labor shortage in romania where hundreds of thousands have left the country since 2007. when romania joined the european union, the lower of higher wages in western europe, has led to a huge gap in the workforce. the construction industry, hospitals and hotels are all feeling the pinch of person now, including in the city of con stanza. for nikolai, because our hotel owner, the answer lies in recruiting migrant workers from asia, it's an idea of supported by the government in bucharest. but for many of those arriving from overseas romania is simply a gateway to a better life in europe. do you have problems with a swimming pool? time is scarce. nichol, i book of our own. several hotels. everything must be ready before the summer guest arrive his biggest headache for lack of workers. know what?

10, what your thoughts. 3 address on most do any show, nothing works without 4 and birth, didn't i myself don't know how to convince the romanian who works in france for example that to come by is sometimes so we'd like to stop everything. i don't know every morning i asked myself what's next when their mother he's in the middle of a crisis that began and years ago. labor shortage. since romania joined me, you in 2007, many romanians have emigrated to western europe. they are needed here at the black sea coast and beyond an estimated half a 1000000 romanian jobs are on the field. the reason is off yes. got the the, the, the, the salaries, the drum, any offers are not attractive to the generation. and that's why they go abroad of doing that up at the bottom. these people are here to fill the gap where it comes

from ancient nepal, india, pakistan. there was waiting here in front of the 1st integration office that's paid up to 6000 euros to jump placement agencies in their home country to legally immigrate to romania. they have visa us, but they are problems with the residents permit the t or c car. so much in the mike is only 3 months. we've got spies and need the see card the immigration office is over whelmed by the government's new strategy. romania wants to grant 100000 brook permits for non you citizens this year. in 2017 romania gave out a mere $5500.00 permits for romanian employers like nikolai, the process is slow. he so tally kitchen is still under stem.

utah prize no potato with meat. what day i'm going to send the aka and he's colleagues, so me or are both from 3 long. they have never wrote this cooks before. the majority have not worked in the industry. the agency tells us that they already have experience, but that's nonsense. how will they haven't work anywhere? or if they did, they haven't worked in that position where we need the remaining and colleagues training every one day as quickly as possible. what day are smith just ready and the chicken wayne gosh. yes. for 2 days they are preparing costco upon a bread is a classic and easy romanian dish. but since we came here, they have been broken here already since last year. it's unusual in the stroke of luck for the kitchen shift. the site is unhappy that they

both stayed in romania, unlike others, which us that we might. it makes things a bit easier for us. they have adapted and we do not have to start from us, correct? i'll ship as many try to move on documented to western europe using romania as a spring board. the staff explains what a young girl wants to stay. he says keywords 5 for an euros a month. he shares his room in the hotel with his coating. the 26 year old missus, this family that's going back is not an option. i love say like about the thing is the economy is not that good. it's really hard to survive. sundays we have, i prepared some food and sold it out for neighbors. we had some of that kind of life over the trees. he studied tourism he sides but only earned 50 euros

a month. with occasional jobs there, romania appears to him as a country full of opportunities. the offering so many jobs violations. i see so many people who are doing fast food deliveries restaurants and people like us working in hotels. so many vacancies over here. he doesn't see much of the beach during the busy summer months to brooks 7 days a week and sense most of his money home to his parents. one day he says, he will have his own business, perhaps in the u. k. nearby workers from india are building these high rise the luxury apartments of camera. we learned that here 5 people share a single room and not everyone building remaining as future wants to stay for the long term higher salary seen of us than europe for the same job. are attempting

they can be a lifeline for those trapped under rubble. sniffer dogs with their heightened sense of smell are crucial for rescue efforts after an earthquake hits. they were deployed in turkey earlier this year when a quake in the region left to tens of thousands dead. and experts warn that it's just a matter of time before the next one comes. that has motivated dog train a good time to our care, to fine tune the noses of his k 9 friends. and in his home town of it's done, we'll look chan spoiled for choice. begging, dozing, playing or just roaming around. stray dogs are part of his done bu city skate. their numbers are estimated at half a 1000000 and growing many churches find them a noise, but now and in the dogs, meet a friendly face, like the con echoes. he's a dog trainer and always stops his car to a pair of boots at the roadside. i didn't see

a lot of the time. i think that black female has had bad experiences with people, but this may, it was trusting them. i probably had a family and was a band and the video i could think of it has a vision for dogs and 2 minutes today. he was looking for a special kind of street dog with intelligence, good character and instinct boss. of all moment i am looking for dogs, i can train agent 1st, we have to help them get over there straight from the beginning and they go today. they've got it, then they can get used to people. and if possible, learn to be step or dogs, each of them, it's all on tracking and rescue dogs are especially needed for the earthquakes which repeatedly strength. turkey, february's catastrophic. quick took the lives of at least 50000 people in the southeast search dogs help rescue dozens,

but there weren't enough. most of the dogs came from abroad. we'll actually get contact with you. arrived at an animal shelter looking for suitable candidates for his project. for many years he worked for a police canine drug unit. he knows what to look for an adult or is that you know, they're so started because this one is very sociable with a quote and isn't afraid of people that it goes 1st i checked to see if it's healthy due to being with us. and we can see it well then i watched how it gets along with other dogs. and finally with people. is that mean that kind of himself was a rescuer in new york. quick sound, but without dogs, because his were not yet trained for rescue work. now he wants to change that quickly, so he will be prepared for the next disaster and show him the well trained dogs are

unbeatable. the 1st finding very victims, they should always come before technical meetings, will be to see the rigidity of nodes making fast and efficient to get you over to the richard. that's why we need many more such tracking doctors in the address. if it says that god has started in appeal, and numerous dog owners have answered it is training day for the sniffer. dogs at his grounds outside is not due by how to ship by how has come with her mongrel model, her former st. dog and the child is coma, been to help me so depressed and helpless after the earthquake that i want you to contribute a bird. if she got way, we would be better prepared next time lol. the phone. and that's why i'm here from the additional the show on the record i ride. then dog and owner have to show what

they have learned. talk is one more sniff, then it's off to search for a missing person in the woods. model finds the st quickly. 10 stage sitting next to the person like in the textbook and model is not the only one to prove her suitability as a search gone today. it cycled it and listen. switch side will be what we want. more respect for dogs on the street. every new since the streets on that is poisoned or otherwise killed young or could have said human lives. i often times and international a judge has travelled for the next days test. she's enthusiastic about echoed his plan to train rescued street dogs to rescue people. but these dogs deserve a better life and not just a better life have. but one with purpose in yes,

that's wonderful. i live and up on is that it's time my how to ship by how and model our 1st step. a quick sniff of the missing persons since then dog and owner have 20 minutes. do they come over to me this time? they're too slow, but it isn't the dog's fault to pardon them on the service. and so i've heard the wrong way control, so it's the 1st time we've both been tested in such a situation. yeah. but we still want to tackle the building to grace search task just gives you i hope we can make it a little more. it's minute, it gets me to the closer the line is just it takes patience and hard training to to and model the street dog into a live saver. but the contact is holding fast to his plan to train enough rescue dogs throughout turkey for the hour of me. there certainly are more than enough

dogs to choose from the to says you can teach an old dog new tricks. that's all from us this week as focus on europe. thanks so much for watching. by the
