it achieve equal development and prosperity for all of it's 27 member states? 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 to is from lunatic. the district of brussels, known for a lively multiculturalism, but also for low incomes. crime and unemployment. but kinda has other plans for her future. i'm looking at 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 the tend to is taking part in an hour to work job coaching session. the organization aims 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 of the de facto capital of the you, you are being quarter as a whole different world top jobs that the you pay in a month, which people in whom does neighborhood to earn in a year. oh,

because there was yeah, there are strong differences between rich and full neighborhoods in brussels to paint it's region with a lot of 12, a change, the ones that if the population in brussels lives on ending company knows that level it, which publishes becomes a threat. when 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 support in 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 yahoo! 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 learn the basics of working life like right and cover letters and resumes for the programs. aims are higher volume. yes. and the person ality development is

a big part of our work here into yes and what makes our participants realize there's only one person who can make it happen. they themselves are kind of one of those people are to we're attempting to find a job in construction. what you didn't graduate from school and had long been seeking this place and society talking about the 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 focused on the positives. so how much is it that was i told myself, i'm contributing with i'm socializing is i'm going to work is very kind of 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 her mother has come to the chevy was relieved here. 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 gentlemen, do any of her? i won't 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 so he said to the neighbors to it is just, i want to motivate them. but if the professor and tell them the life might not always easy and to show show, we can change things in the transfer the negative to positive case to him to could be doing her part to how to dress the social, any quantities 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 improvements 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 final product. no. no, that doesn't ring a bell. no. 3rd of the use budget funds go into it. the aim is that all regions and the you have the same chance for development and no re, didn't solve behind wanting to combat inequality of the mode. so he's in the you

cause that the blue that keeps the key you together and the main topic environment transport, digitization, supporting small and medium sized enterprises, social and cultural projects. so here's some policies like amount of this gets headed. ministration of funds is in brussels. quite 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 youth again. so he's, 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 addressed 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 and the islanders of t last long and hard for their joint structure. now they have it at 80 meters high in wing several tons. it has transform t loss into the 1st energy substitution island in the entire mediterranean. so far, some orders, we have sent the message that even on the very small island is all very big things

can happen. and scale border voted in the union to police without them at the when the when sometimes drops solar energy kicks in, produced by this plant. dozens of robust panels collect power from some 300 annual days of sunshine by stevie color book. your teeth only has to go and inspect them once a year. if that's the way we can minimize the cost sale for maintenance and the same time or we can have room and they put them in like 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, i supplied with renewable energy in this way. tourism is t loss means source of income. before the home spending energy revolution,

there were constant difficulties as calvin only economies could actually the mass of the believe. and then it used to be quite tough. then the power often went out for hours of the times with up to you, cause problems for appliances, especially a, for just for the food you called them due to 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. you're not always reliably but with a lot of pollutants like you to cut that high. yeah. the plant looks terrible and people are probably still swimming right next to it in the 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 many binders, but she never thought of giving up. and yet they told me see, the need this project be stable, man. we feel we have to do something to protect the environmental level. at the very bottom, i was convinced this plan would make the difference. i had was there anything that i use? i don't think i was wrong. she didn't have the and then it was done for a few years. now the wind and solar plants have been running, controlled from this container, and monitored by laptops. this time. and we can see that the wizard buying the product, uses a about the $600.00 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 tourists have heard the t last, literally has good energy and it's of course,

it's positive when they make it green. i think it's fantastic because t loss is a good example for, for greece. and the other 2 is to countries the only one for these old power lines. they still have to feed the energy they produce here into the ailing state on power grid that fingers. maria, see me up with you in the talk. they're always problems. high width unable comes out of the scene. yeah. so sometimes that noise to eat, that sometimes i don't. yeah. you sample discordant once the isn't broke out here. and the whole island when my dog, because the meal will put the how many give me give you a complete block out the c. ready 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 and e u funds are flowing into a stone. you to build a factory dedicated to where this is neither flower nor sugar. it's a roll of material that could make your explosions of a green future reality. read this in this country 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 off criticality and the index of criticality of strategic materials for green technologies and the transition to not 0 industries as an urgent the money for the rent. it's metals they needed for making high performance with new turbines unconnected. come notice the white powder is processed with the resulting material used to make what are the cold 10 minutes 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. after the tone else joe now has dominated the market so wrapped us and they have products. the project in nava is meant to change that. the handshake with canadian industry came on just the right

now and for the mayor of the board to town, and the driver with the factory may help to back to integrate novice russian residents into a stony and society. 90 percent of novice inhabitants are of russian defend the russian city of even golf on is located on the opposite side of the novel rizza . hundreds of spectators gathered on the estonian river side on may 9. when a screen with russian propaganda was set 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 as but i'm waiting. there are jobs. when people go to work to all that in the city will come a life. these thoughts, right? such viewing now is with the leaves, the promises 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, i guess the cost to be one more factories, it's great drops from men so that they don't have to go away. the go to of the you is aiming to prevent not to. that's why money will keep flowing into a $10.00 system in, in russian border region and whoever will in the process of it, the aim is also that for the local population, they see the difference. and definitely when you go and walk around the matter of our dilemma, 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 of to rule nato and russia safe 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 estonian side 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 arc de triomphe hungry is also featured here, a nation whose leader is often at odds with you and victor, oregon, and his government regularly failed to comply with core e u 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 pastors, was financed with european union funds. opposition? politician alco shot kazi, is i'm looking forward to the trip he's taking for us on the european union funding. there's some time spent on useful things he hosted, but often it's used on something completely useless though, such as railway and i did. yeah, unfair di 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 a. she's thankful for the you projects. no way is this is also

for us to live without b u of tools or a countries with on to you. members with the go, the little train is just one example of how you repeat the 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 loved by everyone in charge of the you. that's down to a certain mr. 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 done giving government and brussels? well, the ones who are losing the most of the citizens of with a fish 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 are free 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 i will put you on the market. they are taking these 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 if maybe donna, do a no show for me to make 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 when i go to a sec, let me, let me get some of them as a new, 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 that the shipping is, that can be phrased on your development funding, just as a debt to the size of a pressure to change the hungarian position as your cordless. yes. because the, the last time we got actual into the aisle quite yet, and they go out to stuff me on the opposition. politicians are coach 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 the you, money. apparently,

for organ. the e. u is good enough for that. rest of your thought or tall, 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 board. we should start to think about whether it will stay in the u. k. e u money may well have been dubiously squandered on a few projects and were cashed as 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. europe's ancient music traditions are on display. and the collection is quite diverse. for example, in cost and 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 a life the custom in central and nothing special you might think. but there's more to this unassuming region funding d i. the, the evening's entertainment, a sibling frenzy posted in as noon far beyond its borders for this mary musical tradition. and it's even popular with the local use. the 16 year old jerky is do regular teenager spending plenty of time and his laptop? i'm playing guitar, but his priority is violent every time i want to play violin and school are something a few of my friends are no, no, no. please don't do replaced on through 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, and spoken. do this every year for an intense week of rehearsals, open till even the youngest federal fanatics are invited to the participants flocked 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 use the technical, fun furnace. in many places the traditional fiddlers don't hint but not interested in scouting, and would have not had this kind of reputation in those activities concerning music and the heritage and folk dancing. and the festival. the situation would be a very, very different folk music is the is the music of the future. but your key is also interested in the past. the 73 year old grandfather knows all about the

history of the customer's building. and the 2 week rid of his father was an decision to so 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. to live in henry to do something that's it's, it continues to devil open. 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 finland's hermitage lines. farewell concert goes down a storm. this is 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,
