think that there's no gold, it's only just practice. at the end of the clock. 7 months before russia attacked ukraine, a field team documents, daily life of the town. how are the people who are dealing with the growing tension? they change their world frame hold on. we are with you currently know when i me insight starts going on dw, the even if it force me to turn it back a 1000 times, i'll keep trying that determined to offend and often unwelcome, millions of people are desperate to start a new life abroad. what do they face on that journey? the, and how can they make

a fresh stones the more than 108000000 people worldwide, a currently displaced a record high. they are fleeing more violence. human rights abuses and poverty. the coastal city of fox and tanisha for thousands. it's the gateway to europe, migrants mostly from west africa. and if you dean us trying to get enough money for a place on a boat, we've arranged to meet some do and to the car in a side street, they were afraid of the police. so we soon discreetly with a cell phone. they tell us about their attempts to escape to europe. why?

we're always in touch asking how much money do you have? what can you add? and then some of us pay for the boat. i know those by gasoline even if it force me to turn it back a 1000 times, i'll keep trying that they need to raise of a 1000 euros for the crossing. these days they organize their own votes as they no longer trust the truck because they suspect they're collaborating with. it's an emotional sars, he's like done less than that they need before the canadian coast guard either does everything to stop us and force us to turn back or they take away our gasoline or the engines of it and just leave us floating in the water with the people i see this footage was shot the news agency, the gymnasium coast guard denies the allegations and says there is no evidence. according to the european union's voted, agency fund tax more than $60000.00 migrants have arrived in europe by the

mediterranean system. sufficient. yeah. the u provides tenacious coast guard with funds and technical equipment to stop migraines, etc. human rights organizations have long criticized the arrangement. at least 1000 people have died attempting debate since january. more and more bodies are being found in the area around fox. needless to be who works with a city hospital says the situation is dire, the motor good is it more tre is designed to take up to 35 bodies or tomorrow we turn a have over a 170 to us on the good of as she says stuff and now refusing to enter the building because of the pulling hygiene conditions for the doctor and her colleagues, it's due to distressing foods you have she and so just so we need a last thing solution not just a short sighted responder. screw check off. well,

because the things might lose or while, but then we go back to square one. this is sort of on demand or review of 10. the pressure is growing a social and economic crisis coupled with rising racism. i'm driving many migrants out of the country. farm few t g feels helpless. originally from cameron has lived in tunisia for 5 years. he runs an association that helps young migraines find alternatives to fling to you're helping them secure jobs and a legal way of staying intonation. but ever since the countries president incited hatred against migrants saying they broad violence and crime to tanisha, things have changed. and it was a more place it could make a stronger from top to. he said that in february and march, a lot of migrants were attacked and injured that the issues that they lost, their jobs got thrown out of their apartments of that. and so they had no choice but to try to free to europe getting away,

even though they were completely under pad or type it up. so a on gosh, it easy said to the tennessee normally behind font u t. g is a trained engineer just like know who also wanted to stay in tanisha. he came here on a student visa, which has now expired. getting new papers is next to impossible. he doesn't know what to do or how to get by day today. the bus deal that i pay higher prices for certain products at the markets and to nations do those things. and then i also have to pay more rents for my apartments at the day when you were there. oh gosh, i finally said ok, migrants are being made to skype good for many of tenicia as problems. they blame for the high levels of unemployment, poverty and national debt. negotiations to receive the bailout from the international monetary fund have stores because denise,

as president is refusing to introduce reforms instead, he's helped to stir up miss trust by promoting conspiracy series on the problem. not in folks. we fund many are receptive to the racist rhetoric. so yeah, it's have cause a mock people. how should i be these africans a good for nothing. you to remember the whole i think it will be good if the state would just send them away. there'll be nothing left for us. otherwise. when we see the best thing would be if they went straight to italy without stopping in too easy, easy and many migrants would also prefer to just leave the italian island of land produced as less than 200 kilometers. from here we meet up with blue book color again, this time he has omar with him. they are holding onto the dream of basically life in europe. yeah, typically i mean my father, my brothers and sisters,

once you know everyone back home is counting them, they made it to me and i can't just go back and i want to help my family out of them as a regular to love. i mean, the supplies that opportunity to sit down with the window and ask them to have just the past to happiness, but it also worries me. but when i look at the see and i have many images in my mind, i think about all those i've known who didn't make it there, go nissans to, to, to me. but they still design to go as soon as possible. they just waiting for the day when they can get on the bus. and finally, the tanisha, the many of those seeing, get stranded in the trends that country like, you know, a report from these at the, at the aga,

there's refugee camp in need. yeah. morning. so the most pleasant time of day it's really relatively cool ottoman stuff. the dean are getting ready for another day's work. ready they come from su, done when they fled to turn them on a few years ago. the original plan was to get to a year of allergy time, and i left sudan in 2015. my conditions back home are really tough. i wanted to go to libya, but when i got there instead of i was tortured and mistreated tiny. i mean, i realized that there would be no future for me. there were, there is no way of getting to italy or anywhere else in europe. the line of government, it was in libya that i met my friends, if the dean by the end. so we decided to head back to new share. so i thought i'd try to set up a business july 3rd. um, what i need is uh, going to, i'm gonna, i'm gonna, we had been on the road for a long time,

and i'm gonna say it had a lovely thing and that was why we opted to stay in this year. so we put together our savings and chose to invest in rickshaws for cut at the end as a result. and we're now able to send money back regularly and to our families and sudan looking up the shock and have them my husband. i know they actually started out with a motor bike, but later they were able to afford the ritual data still. they invested in a 2nd ritual. the, the refugee camp is 5 kilometers away from the city of aga, dance that makes it very difficult for residents to get into the city ottoman set. the dean realize there was a gap in the market and that business idea was born. must be online. it's very difficult to find regular work here. there's no point to just sitting

around waiting for somebody to hire you. you have to build up your own business. otherwise time just drags shot running. fast. the strip of the morning is to the main square and the refugee camp. this is where they find most of their customers there always people wanting to capture right into the city, to go shopping or search for a job. welcome. after agreeing on a price, they get going, the progress is slow, but at least it's a good road. it takes a long time, but it's really beautiful. it reminds me of sudan and will be there soon enough. the ball maybe not. first,

he has to deal with the break down. the rich shows old and the sunday conditions are a problem for the engine. in the end, everyone has to lend a hand before they can continue the journey. when they finally get to august, this time for a break. yeah, ottoman said dean chuck to other ritual drivers. the conversation help us pass the time while they wait for passengers for the return journey. these days, they got them well with the other drivers. i had a chance to get to know 2 of them for they've been driving for 6 months pretty soon . i think it's good with some other not from the share. the refugee is. it is the data, but the good thing is they're not just sitting around complaining and waiting for someone to help them listed under the car there on seconds like us and.

and as long as they're here legally and they can drive a rickshaw country, are they going to put a family that needs? yeah, is generally struggling to integrate many of the refugees living within its borders . as mohammad know of life and the un refugee agency is in the says, you always have to consider the needs of the society that takes in the refugees and i'm done per lie. there are not in any opportunities here a level. there are very few development projects in this region, and local people also struggled to find work on the for actually the the 2 men from these. yeah. however, i have gradually been accepted and the building new relationships. that's the thing and it wasn't easy at 1st. we had to learn the language and be able to integrate better when we're in the city. when we meet passengers and i'll

get is, we're now able to communicate with them and negotiate a price. so we feel very comfortable here. while we finally have a job and feel welcome in the year, shortly before dusk, they drive by to the account with the last passengers of the day. business is running well. in the evening, it finally starts to get cooler again. the pat bolt themselves, a stereo system from the running and they have a generator to provide electricity for item and since a dean, it's finally time to relax and enjoy the evening. the it feels afternoon and you'll 100 cortez this is ready for customers such as small

shop. it wasn't long ago that she opened the business, daring to make a new stock back to the home country of then his way to of to, to use in neighboring colombia. she flat the economic misery here. but now she says things have changed in columbia, and most of my money went on rent, utilities and everything else. i was able to keep my head above water. but here i have the advantage that i don't have to a so much in a while. and i no longer have the feeling of being in a foreign country for the by the price of living in exile was high. i missed a lot of things like my coach. and now i want to grow here to invest in my business . and the house will still, oh my gosh, couple number in the mental honda cortez, this is one of those who returns to venezuela to either find me reasons or because things really have improved during the worst use of the crisis. she was

a teenager. it was truly of the story. the corona virus pandemic that she got to, to leave homeland phone numbers. a lot of things to a chaos here during the pandemic to feel like tricity kept going off and i had no money. we owe you, at least i was able to carry on studying because of depend demik. there was no work in the factories. the one is that most of them had closed. and they were hardly any of the jobs available ava levels. and everything just stopped to about 100. now, your 100 cortez here is allowing himself to dream again. she writes stone, hula income and expenses in detail. putting aside anything left day that she'd like to have our own house sunday in venezuela. the attorney stopped bringing new ideas on hopes for the country back with him. office suite. seattle box has also returned time of to 15 years in panama. she's known,

incorporating new techniques that she learned the intel works in c panel in the beginning i missed my family loss. now actually i only came back to venezuela to pick up my taskbar. but the family room and the opportunities i then saw are incorrect cuz made me want to return. if a good and i've been here for a year and a half now i guess 3, i think. busy because the new 1000000 populates in a fast sells ludwig to shops, restaurants, and wealthy venezuelans. she also owns money by giving courses to other artists. he said that if you leave here, you have to exec that there isn't a wise war. so yeah, and there are lots of power cuts, many things you don't experience in other countries. but there are also a lot of good things that make up to the bad and even life in venezuela's capital cut off because let's go to

a little easier. the security situation is also improved the shopping streets of full again. but the crisis is not yet complete me over many apartments in the city, mt and the oldest and abroad economists, victim of it, is totally small. what am i know by 800 us? if more than 70000000 people left the country and mean, but a saw in us and many of them sold everything i haven't been deal total in the most countries in this region are growing populations up over that venezuela is, has declined and in venezuela and it's happy to see that there are many houses that are on occupied and then this will go back to the people who left or left every single people total. they left their homes and put them up for sale, but there is no market to be able to sell them. the economy is slowly improving. the government now allows trade in us donors. the united states for its part has ease some of the sanctions that has crippled many industries in venezuela foreign

companies are trying to return, but alvarez says it's not being made easy. bolden is the amount of what i said there is still a lot to do that more than a whole day. the dining room of the country is far from returning to normal order. money says she owns them. eh, correct is, is a showcase example what it's not representative. i mean, because the city is a bubble like, and very different from the rest of the country. and in fact, they're like, no swear the effects of the crisis are still being felt strongly. and with that, i mean, in most cities of the interior, there are still a huge problems with fuel supplies automatic, but they're a long to use a gas stations and kind of the more we it's a reason why many do still want to leave and this way now, in the western port, city of mckayden, a group of young men applying the journey to the united states they are old fisherman, is no longer able to make a living in the trade

a noise. there are no jobs. my parents don't have work either. i mean my, that again, they barely managed to feed my little brother. i have to think sometimes there's nothing to eat. it hurts me to see them like this chain. that's why i want to leave . so i can help them and everything will be okay. but his mother is very worried about his son's plans to make the journey to the united states. everyone here was heard about the risks involved on the many people who disappeared on the way, never making it to the us. second, well i know it's very difficult for my son to go to the us, but it's for the benefit. it'd be saga his brother and me. but i don't want him to guard because he's still my son is a but i know it's a good thing. better a side of the key and his mother make the most of the time they have left together . they hope that his excel will only be temporary and that one day he will attend

the georgia has become a safe haven for those clean the war in ukraine. along side, many ukrainian refugees around a 150000 russians have fled to the south location country, among them of positions of pushes and those desperate to avoid conscription. but to me on george's black sea coast has become a magnet for thousands of russians. among them as maria from st. petersburg, blanca compatriots protesting here she is firmly against vladimir pollution and the russian invasion of ukraine. maria was a supporter of a position so to elect sign of only who is coming to be imprisoned in

a penal colony. she sees no future for his self, and russians hope you're having a good demonstration like this as possible in georgia, in russia, they just not to away immediately. russian citizens do not need a visa to enter georgia, which made it easier for maria to make, but to me, her new home, the same applies for elia. she fled off to being pulled up for military service to fight a lot of me a person's war in ukraine. yeah. navy. i see no reason to be part of this military operation. yeah. almost it's not justified in a couple of, of my parents have a very different opinion, but not come way. in addition to we were always talking about design in for the ongoing can't and nothing's counseling extremely, but it was there are millions of families who have this complex and they want to, it makes me really sad that we can't agree on the issue of them like 2 options, of alia, lives in an apartment, a with for other russians in his hometown. if he had got to reading book,

he worked as an i t x, but for a bank, they were both could receive. and he also had a side job as a fashion model and having to pay them because that's the part of his old life that he misses the most. just meals through the video. i've not got passion, industry is non existent in about to me that there aren't any shows like i was just the occasional photo shoot. uh, but the ceo, mac modeling agencies are all in the capitol to placing frequency tests. you gotta, yeah, but it's really expensive to live there because there are so many immigrants and the cost of living in but to me has risen since the new arrivals from russia started appearing. maria pays $500.00 euros a month for his small apartment. so she took into her pets dog bessy. just a few days after arriving in between maria is financially well enough off in russia

. she had a highly paid job in programming with an american firm. and she's now found a new employer based in israel. the georgia, no, sorry, she's making the fairly straightforward for the russians to find their feet, grunting them residency and work permits within a matter of days because of what the prevent me from. of i registered as an independent contract to which is easy. you know, you take a couple of days plus taxation is really low for small businesses. only one percent of your income, a fence at the it's a unique and very attractive situation for i team specialist which is a big reason for so many program is coming here. and there are tens of thousands of us often requiring disruptive visits. in the unlike was ends his income online as a programmer, he continues to work for his employer, a bank in russia, despite having fled military service. the 24 year old is optimistic about his

career prospects since arriving and but to me he set up a club when you come is can learn how to make money from mustering strategy games is to become successful. business people get ahead in life. uh yeah, games of all the clubs is based on the cash flow to get out a game that involves financial literacy and is of huge interest in the modem business people a lot. uh, that would be events are always fully booked, which makes me really happy way too bad, too easy. so the idea of us going ideally, maria would like to move on from georgia to the you. the problem this, the red tape and general difficulty in being drawn to the entry, especially with russian possible, is about to expire from uh, to pin with me for to infinity. yeah, we want to go to spain, you know, quote, you go, but i have to wait to get a new passcode since the war and ukraine,

its being extremely hard to get some new russian passport from his law. it takes at least 6 months. so in my case, probably in the for, for the introduction of football support for the course of their divisions have given a boost to the economy shipping in a country with precious little manufacturing or heavy industry. but to me is primary on a is tourism motel during the week of settlement there are lots of kind of phase in town k to into russians and other refugees to find that they go really, but it doesn't bother me. oh, i know korea should have been withheld for the other stuff and the students and it's impossible to rent an apartment here because the price is growing and growing every day. so each feels like i'm, i'm serviced here and not to local them because every, via the russians who are at least tolerated here. the 2 groups law actually live

parallel lives. russia is the big lose issue because it's young, highly educated people with modern qualifications who are attending the facts on the future and regime and who are in no rush to return. the the

ladies and things are going to get in comfortable use lives and not fears. comedy from pakistani women pretty to shake up the image of their generation. some topics are still tapping,
