is given, we are not allowed to give in. we have to decide this a do the best as a cast for the, for the 2 of our chief assume about commitment and hope about visions and the people behind the verb and catastrophe. climate change starts july 13th on dw, the hello, and a warm welcome from brussels, the capital of belgium, and the european union. the future of the issue is decided right here. so how can it achieve equal development and prosperity for all of it's $27.00 members?

space, that's what we'll be asking today on this special edition of focus on your. let's begin right here in brussels. the city center and the european quarter are prosperous and affluent and contrast, right next door poverty is ramping. will meet a young woman from the disadvantage neighborhood of mullen back who is determined to break the cycle of poverty can do it has a dream. the 20 year old wants to make it big and be successful in the is from losing dick the district of brussels, known for lively multiculturalism, but also for low incomes. crime and unemployment tend to has other plans for her future. i'm looking at the, the screens all around me. are you in time square dreams about a job in new york city? do you others are on?

here's a to is taking part in an hour to work job coaching session, the organization ams, to help you with people from disadvantage, brussels neighborhoods, things. yeah. i was pretty last before this one who had no orientation. i didn't know what to do with my nice and to ask what i might have had go lesson, but i didn't know how to achieve some good measure of if i knew to tend to as an off alone. many struggle with the lack of opportunities and big more than one and 5 are unemployed. and those who do find work are often poorly paid to start contrast to other parts of the city preferences. after all the de facto capital of the you, it's your being quarter as a whole different world top jobs that the you pay in a month. what people in whom does neighborhood to earn in a year. oh, because there was, yeah, there are strong differences between rich and phone neighborhoods in brussels to p . it's region with

a lot of 12 of change. the ones that if the population in brussels lives on an income below that level, that which publishes becomes a threat. because the only one growing up in these neighborhood access to the labor market is particularly difficult. and there are real problems with education here. you're going to the district, you're describing the to improve the situation that you use supporting projects like our to work tend to didn't graduate school before starting an arch to work. she went from one part time job to the next event. at some point, there was a moment when i realized this wasn't in life. i wanted dr. joseph funds come in every day for 6 weeks and learned the basics of working life like right and cover letters and resumes for the programs ames are higher. have i? yes, and the person ality development is a big part of our work here and to yes and what makes our participants realize there's only one person who can make it happen. they themselves. and then our time

is one of those people are to work out some to find a job in construction. what you did graduate from school and had long been seeking his place in society. so he loved implemented chevy can, i can communicate with others. well now, and i understand the labor market better, i get up in the morning no longer saying to myself, i'm tired. all i focus on the positives. so how much is it f, as i told myself, i am contributing with i'm socializing is i'm going to work is going to call you today is a big day for him to after 6 weeks of training, she's presenting what you learned on her plans for the future or her mother has come to the relief to hear it was like stepping out of the caves and so it's all to sit on the i'm so proud of

the people here have helped to move forward in life stays on. so she has found to weigh all and that she was the social math him to can go back to high school. when she graduates, she'll be well equipped for her future. i don't think there's any of her. i want to be a social worker. she won't be the the, i want to help young people. uh it is a company of them and watch i have to go through my sales see to the neighbors to is it just i want to motivate them, but if the professor and tell them the life might not always easy and it sure sure we can change things in the transfer, the negative to positive to to him, to could be doing her part to help address the social inequalities and persons here in this building, the seat of the commission decisions are made to impact. people like kinda her job

training was co funded through the eaves main investment policy, the confusion policy. it supports economic growth and the improvement of life quality for you citizens among others. let's take a closer look at how it works. the us spending a lot of money on something, most people might have never heard of your quotation, policy coordination of policy? no, i never heard of. no, no, that doesn't ring a bad 1st. no 3rd of the use budget funds go into it. the aim is that all regions the you have the same chance for development and no region falls behind wanting to combat inequality and promote cohesion. the, the you cause that the blue that keeps the you together and

the main topics environment, transport, digitization, supporting small and medium sized enterprises, social and cultural projects. so here's some policy just like amount of this. it's headed ministration of funds and brussels. while a lot of the decisions are made in the regions themselves. but critics say that not all regions benefit equally funds are not always invested wisely and there was not enough transparency. as you know, that was financed by the you know i, i didn't go no, no, no, i didn't know whether they're using a new bypass their trash is being recycled, taking the train or simply breathing and clean air. many you citizens don't even know what confusion policy money is going

a cohesion policy also works towards more sustainable and green europe. topics such as climate change in the u. structurally weak regions are address here in brussels . the greek island of t. lowes is powered entirely by clean energy. it's a project that has caught the attention of neighboring islands the whenever she has time. she comes here to look at her wind turbine may or monte, or come out of fatty islanders of t last long and hard for their joint structure. now they have it at 80 meters high, n wang, several tons. it has transformed t last into the 1st energy substitution island in the entire mediterranean. so far, so moto, so we have sent the message that even on these very small islands, all very big things can happen in athens, gilbert, bowden, and not getting the police for that. but out of my day,

when the wind sometimes drops solar energy kicks in, produced by this plant. a dozens of robust panels collect power from some 300 annual days of sunshine. must see the color book you ought to use only has to go in inspect them once a year. that's the way we can minimize the cost sale for maintenance and the same time. or we can have an a. the photo will take 5 minutes to live with more about that, the 25 years, the hundreds of islanders and up to 40000 seasonal visitors who flowing to the island are supplied with renewable energy. in this way, tourism is t loss means towards the income before the homespun green energy revolution. there were constant difficulties says calvin only economies. cortex you

may have saw the believe that many have used to be quite tough. think the power often went out for hours of time, up to you, cause problems for appliances, especially a fridges and for the food you're going to do. the financial damage was quite high . now things are a lot better. anybody got you got the problem back then? stem from the diesel power plant on the island of cos. 50 kilometers north. it generates electricity, not always reliably, but with a lot of pollutants. like you to cut that high. yeah, the plant looks terrible. the people are probably still swimming right next to it, as you can, as well as the to change that maria and her team set to work on the multi 1000000 euro eco project. find the funds, the paperwork with brussels. now those are many binders, but she never thought of giving up. and yet they told me see,

the needs this project be several met. we feel we have to do something to protect the environmental level. and at the very bottom, i was convinced this plant would make difference. i had, was there anything that i use? i think i think i was wrong. see, i didn't have the and then it was done for a few years now. the wind and solar plants had been running, controlled from this container and monitored by laptops this time and we can see that the wizard buying the product you'll see is about 600 and the dealer much. and it's also he bought from the c, they, me, we found a volume about the 3 tones of friends he'll do any since the, even the tories have heard the t last. literally has good energy without buying them. and it's of course, it's positive when they make it read. i think it's fantastic because the loss is

a good example for, for greece and other choose to countries the only one for these old power lines. they still have to see the energy they produce here into the ailing state on power grid that fingers. maria see me up with. you and the defense, they're always problems high with a bowl comes out of the sea and they said yeah, sometimes that noise. yeah. yeah. sometimes i don't, yeah, you threw up with this golden once i even broke out here and the whole island when my dog see me, will put the how many going to give you a complete block out the see the and so the green energy campaign continues a new power grid is needed, and here on t last, they are convinced they'll succeed, the key part of

building a greener europe includes the rare earth elements. some of those wind turbines on t last, electric cars and solar panels. where are the elements are a crucial component. that's why millions in a you funds are flowing into a stone. you to build a factory dedicated to where this is me, the flower, no sugar. it's a roll of material that could make your solutions of a green future realities. read this in this factory in eastern estonia, the way some broken down into that chemical components. the canadian investor is aiming to use the valuable metals to make maintenance and relying on the new in the process. over the last decade, policy makers and brussels have been studying dependencies on critical mineral supply chains. and they've identified words as being at the top of criticality and the index of criticality of strategic materials for green technologies and the

transition to not 0 industry. there's an urgent demand for the rent. it's metals they needed for making high performance when new to vines, engine electric call. notice the white powder is processed with the resulting material used to make what are called permanent magnets. and that's do you just not happening here in the border city of nava? the canadian company mia was building the 1st such magnet factory in europe with millions and support from the e. u. at the specifications for electric vehicle motors, often german and french automotive manufacturers. up until now china has dominated the market for rent and they have products. the project in nava is meant to change that. the handshake with canadian industry came in just the right moment for the mayor of the board to town and drive always. the factory may help to better

integrate novice russian residents into a stony and society. 90 percent of novice inhabitants are with russian descent. the russian city of even go hard is located on the opposite side of the novel rizza . 100 the data is gathered on the estonian river side on may 9th, when a screen with russian propaganda was setting up across the river demonstrate as against the war and ukraine were attacked. group, still the marys counting on the loyalty of the russian residents and we are hoping to the round table a name on the very back. nobody wants to leave an offer in the you about but i would like a better life than i am. but i'm waiting around jobs when people go to work to all them in the city will come a life these both right. such viewing now for the leave,

the premises of politicians. the unemployment rate in the border region is moving twice the national average. yeah, because there's 2 little investment, many leaves because there's no work. there's jobs, nobody wants to work for 800 or a 1000 euro. so we have seen the prices and the stores with, i mean, here's the calls to be one more factories. it makes jobs from men so that they don't have to go away little bit, go to of the you is aiming to prevent not to. that's why money will keep flowing into a 10 system in, in russian border region. and whoever will, in the process of a theme is always so that for the local population, they see the difference. and definitely when you go and walk around the none of our and see now that you've seen already the tremendous work that has been done with different cohesion funds there. the funding isn't just an investment in a peaceful future. after rule, nato and russia faced each other here

a mid increasing tension. the hope is that the plans magnet factory will bring drops and prosperity and ease the situation on the stony inside, at least while contributing to a green future. so your at the we're here at the mini europe park in brussels, where visitors can see europe's most famous landmarks, including the arctic 3 on hungry is also featured here, a nation whose leader is often at odds with you in victor, oregon, and his government regularly failed to comply with core e, you values and principles and yet hungry has enjoyed subsidies from the european union's covers. so where is their relationship headed? it seems unbelievable that here in the middle of nowhere, a train should be arriving at any moment. a good portion of the 6 kilometers are

track over on gary and meadows and pastures was financed with european union funds . opposition? politician alco shot housing is i'm looking forward to the trip he's taking for us us come on the or the european union funding some time spent on useful things. see how, but often it's used on something completely useless though such as railway and i did a unpaired value or as i guess one of the as the train is rolling through the home village of mister victor, oregon, few passengers are on board. it comes across as a plaything for the prime minister. the major is reluctant to speak with us as are most of the residents. but a young woman in the village shop, step stuff, it is. she's thankful for the you projects. no way. this is also for us to live without me, you know, fuels or

a countries with on to you. members with the little train is just one example of how europe and financial support is used to in hungry that contrast here it was useful but probably won't be available in the future. in the home gary and capital budapest, a subway line was modernized with the you money. whether other lines will benefit as well as uncertain hungry has always been popular with tourist is not as well as not by everyone in charge of the you. that's down to a certain mister up on a non conformist when it comes to the you, especially concerning o g p t to plus issues, freedom of speech, image just the system. that's why brussels has stopped the flow of money from some funding programs until or by and gets back in mind the, the deputy mayor of budapest, an open opponent of corbin to, to,

to says that could take some time. this war between don giving government and brussels. well, the ones who are losing the most of the citizens of with us because we are using this money in line with your pin goals. no new you funds for now. you have half of those survey favor organ and his policies on the streets. his opponents on afraid to speak up about the dispute and yet the government as well as good, they defy the european union and then show that we don't get any money for you when you are not sure that nobody examples. you're not putting them couple imprints that because that will put you on the market irritated values must be respected. uh, funny. okay. yeah, and it's is not doing so far, no matter how many people dislike the opening government, you are sure they've done and do a no show for me. then next to that act as

a representative to the european parliament for orleans, the best party too much deutsche says the you alone is at fault for the funding for use of one to go to a sec. let me, let me get some of them as news when it comes to hungry is open political blackmail as a political. you hold on me to call them as a political power struggle. it shows when you say to see sure things that can be phrased on your development funding guess is inductive exercise or pressure to change the hungarian position or less? yes. because the, the last time we get actual into the all quite yet. and they go out to stuff me on the opposition. politicians, of course, hot housy, it's barely making progress against corbin's populous propaganda. in the meantime, he's left the little train and it's racing down the highway. the network of motor ways and hungry is operated by a consortium with close ties to a friend of carbons. some sections were financed with b, u. money, apparently for organ. the e. u is good enough for that. suppressed here thoughtful,

insinuated that we will only need the humans, the money is flowing into the also says that as soon as we're contributing more money to them, then we get off the water shift start to think about whether it will stay in the u . k. e, you money may well have been dubiously squandered on a few projects and what cash is needed. it may not arrive at all. it seems as it's hungry may have come to a dead end on its journey with the european union, the here in the brussels, the musical instruments museum erupt. ancient music traditions are on display and the collection is quite diverse. for example, in costume in finland, a special style of federal plan has a chief to spot on unit schools, cultural heritage list, and young musicians play a key role in keeping this heritage alive. the

the tungsten in, in central, and nothing special you might think. but there's more to this unassuming region funding the i the, the evening's entertainment fiddling frenzy posted in as noon far beyond its borders with this memory, musical tradition. and it's even popular with the local youth. the 16 year old jerky is do regular teenager spending plenty of time on his laptop? i'm playing guitar, but his priority is as violent every time. i want to play violin and school or something. few of my friends are no, no, no. please don't do a place to enter it, but i think it's normal for my friends nowadays that i live in and i play some folks. you joins the ranks of coast and in spoken dizziness

every year. for an intense week of rehearsals, open to even the youngest fiddle. fanatics are invited to the participants flock to the festival from all over finland, season, even in the loan, the children pick up their instruments again. when they get home in the evening, they just keep practicing a lot and is the technical fun fun as to how to select the many places the traditional fiddlers telling him, but not in customer, the costing in would have not had this kind of reputation and those activities concerning music and harry fiction, folk dance, and, and the festival. the situation would be a very, very different folks. music is the, is the music of the future, which you is also interested in the past. the 73 year old grandfather knows all about the history of custom building and the 2 week rid of his father was in the

session to see you and i the them back then they played at summer weddings, which would last at least a whole day. but sometimes even 3, it's just it's this kind of story. the cultural studies researchers are collecting from all over northern europe as part of an e u. project. a living heritage is something that is it continues to develop, but it's used if something is placed in an archive, it's not living headed switch anymore. it's like a new see. the tungsten is one of those places that keeps opinions. heritage alive. farewell concert goes down a storm they say the best way the

a well deserved round of applause for the young musicians for carrying on their cultural heritage. it's just one of the many development projects happening across new member states. and that brings our special broadcasts from brussels to an end. thanks so much for your company and bye for now, the, the, the,

we can keep doing what we're doing. we need to become a sustainable as possible. and that's why a green revolution was absolutely necessary. european agriculture is facing major challenges. the future is being determined. now.
