4:30 pm
the millions of children, the world, chance go to school, we ask why? because education makes the world a more just make up your own mind dw, made for mines. the . this is focus on europe. i'm lara baba lola, welcome. romania is ranked among the used worst member states for waste recycling. the vast majority of garbage and recycling material is thrown together before and even arrives at the landfill. this violates the standards of the european union,
4:31 pm
which has given money to romania for proper waste management. this includes that the construction of a modern landfill includes, but i look forward to discovered that millions and e u funding has failed to clean up the problem. a romanian landfill site full of unsorted waste financed with money from a european union. this was supposed to be a modern, environmentally friendly waste down to replace the older illegal landfill site near the city of pollution of polka that had been an eyesore for decades. the new landfill opened after much delay, but not much seems to have improved. on sorted garbage is still dumped here. nothing is recycled, harmful practice, that's going legal end to you. we want to find out what went wrong here. in a residential area, we looked at the start of the waste change in the 1st impression. is there
4:32 pm
different bins for different waste? okay, you guys recycle your way. sometimes sometimes this was sometimes he doesn't make sense because the same car is taking the garbage. so it's not actually recycling, there's one called the phone to pick everything. and then it happens before our very eyes. the sign on the truck reads today we collect paper, but they also taking everything else from all the bins, the use this an isolated case or it's, it's a stomach. we mentioned a cutter is going to works and the waste industry is also inactive us and keeps track of what closures waste collectors aren't doing
4:33 pm
the so what's happening now again, there's like different types of ways, right? yes, yes. i think they are mixing or, or they'll be yes. unplugged romania recycling skills 14 percent of its municipal waste compared to the average of 49 percent of the shonda recruiters for a sense. this partly stems from her manias, the system in woman's locked while yes, semis, like know, recyclable. it's a more expensive to collect the mixed waste. they show we're not mistakes or there's no incentive to collect them separately. for like they fit, bought out with
4:34 pm
the shown dakota, shirley and 3 other environmental activist. i watched drone footage of the new waste plant. the activists are concerned that the site is filling up faster than it should with on sorted waste, which is illegal in the elizabeth thing. this is not a momentary mistake. this is a structure, as you can see from the area that these covered with non treated non sorted garbage . most of them, what do you realize? they don't treat adults or just dump it there it's, it's so obvious. from 2014 to 2020 the you spent 318000000 euro, subsidizing waste management in romania, 40000000. in coolage alone. we want to speak with the people responsible for waste collection here. but neither of the waste company nor the romanian ministry of european investments,
4:35 pm
replying to our inquiry the local waste management association does however, tell us in writing the bill and post penalties if there are deficiencies. the district council here is responsible for implementing the project. we met with the spokes person who says occlusions and doesn't have a waste problem. the homework is blocked, the building leave closed all public non compliant landfills and have put both the new landfill and the integrated waste management center into operation cannot solve the issue. that's a definite success with big cloud. yes, the one from the just we observed that and precious the not being recycled and not collected separate and includes. and this is one of the main boards of european waste management stuff. and that's so am i you as the jewish county, i'm not concerned about this. probably pigs is the boss. there may be some isolated
4:36 pm
problems or the climate. i tell you as a citizen that it's definitely not a systematic problem. when you across each at the time. no one appears willing to acknowledge the waste problem here. so we had to brussels to ask what the u commission, which financed much of romania as a waste disposal system is doing about this, opened up the whole country. the commission does not manage projects. we do not follow each separate project. we have under equation policy. the previous peers, 1500000 projects on more than 1500000 projects funded by equation policy. and these are all managed by the number of states back in romania. no one seems to feel responsible much to the dismay of each one. so gotcha, i think this is the hines, the surveillance camera near the landfill to track what is dumped the plants to file a complaint with the european anti fraud often or old off. but he isn't very optimistic
4:37 pm
us, as long as europe is heavy, we'd be the s and they are and they have been and they would be romania. we'll have no problem in producing more nice media. we couldn't find out who is to blame for callous inclusion. but maybe that's the root of the problem in the tangle of european projects. everyone wants a piece of the pie, but it seems no one wants to take full responsibility for the waste or from where the money is going. the countdown is on in less than a year. paris will host the summer olympics swimming a lead from all over the world will be competing for gold. and several of their races will take place in the sense that the river, that waves through the french capital is not entirely safe. its water quality has historically been port a century ago. a strict swimming band was implemented in the sun, but the city wants to get the problem under control by 2024 and they are diving
4:38 pm
into work to meet the deadline. it's still quiet on this and this morning the paris river police, which keeps an eye on the river. 247 is out on patrol commander . so female lab hits the brigade for her. the sand is like a town with residents traffic and also rules like the $1000.00 in the swimming is strictly forbidden. regions aren't allowed on this whole boat. so there are too many dangers in the risk of drowning expos in it . don't say louise, good then why? yes. it's been banned for 100 years. but thanks to the olympic games there are in vicious plans to allow swimming and the river again. the largest sports part's ever designed in the heart of a city. it included
4:39 pm
a 160 meter long floating athletics track and amazing facilities set up across the cities. famous landmarks including the send river lee and now is looking forward to it. he lives on this end and a causally furnished house boat. he's planning to watch the opening ceremony of the olympic games next year from his deck live and up close from his front row seat. says how come 6 of us to see that? so it's going to be my friends will be here to. i'm going to enjoy it together. i posted me will be ready to close, and i'm definitely planning to make the most of the party, you know, the benefit key points to where hundreds of thousands of people will be watching from the river bank. and some of the water sport events will be taking place close by
4:40 pm
dun angeles cool is a physicist who's been working for the city of paris and testing the water quality of the sand for 5 years now looking for bacterial contamination. the big question is whether the river will be clean enough for the games and whether the athletes will be allowed in the water. simples get safe, is added as a pulse. i think it will be doable to do with regular and proper measures to ensure water quality has full stop. like we're not going to put anybody in danger because they're sampling verifies to watch or quantity because i'm not going to get to the bottom of this. we go deep into the bowels of paris under the river into the sewers . there are over 1000 kilometers of sewers in the french capital, which collect rain, water, and wastewater when there is heavy rainfall,
4:41 pm
the sewers, which date back to napoleon, the 1st overflow the pond on these, i need the need for years and years for decades. never, there was a storm. the water was diverted directly into the river without being treated at all. no wonder people aren't allowed to swim in the sense that set to change thanks to a new state of the art water treatment system currently being built in the city center. but there's still a lot of work to be done in this suburbs, just 200 meters past the parents city limits. there are still many homes that aren't connected to the capitals sewage system. work here has been going on for
4:42 pm
weeks to install a new pipes for about 35000 households is on felipe shows us his new system. the fastest one is obviously it is all new. now, all the pipes are connected to the kitchen, the toilets, the bathroom toilet seat. i sent it off and he didn't have to pay a thing because the municipality covered the cost less for the olympic games post. because if it's not something to do with a tour, they can put in the the area wants to show it has a functioning wastewater system. they do, they need it's high season on the sand and everywhere preparations for the olympics are under way. captain dave by law and his river boat had been selected for a big mission. his boat will
4:43 pm
be among the $116.00 vessels to sail on this and at the opening ceremony. and he is excited again. so there's just a going, of course, i'm pretty proud demo. it's a big event coming up with a massive event for paris and, and then vicious overall where the river sent all to often death is a taboo subject that many people avoid talking about. again, as celiac is terminal you and only has a few months left to live, but again, it doesn't feel she can speak about it freely and openly with her family. instead, she leans on. this woman are tina bu caps. she is a trained end of life companion and she specializes in minimizing the fear surrounding deaf for one moment. so okay,
4:44 pm
i have to where it says for at least 60 no worries the night and the last time the oxygen device skipped. so i'm looking up celiac snobs, but she's tom and the l with end stage c or p d, an incurable lung disease. she has only 20 percent lung capacity and it's decreasing without the supplementary oxygen, she can hardly do anything. yeah, as for me, it smells, for me it's all and stressful because i'm close for phone back and when you have something constantly i'm up against your face as unpleasant does. for me, we're not going to be like, you know, once to prepare for her own death, which is why matching up who cuts drops by once a week. she's a volunteer for much. he is an international as an end of life companion also cool to death and to love. she's already a company more than a dozen people. the conversations easily. he knows fear of dying july and how it now she's experienced it close on and talks about it just give,
4:45 pm
which gives me courage. free is this tame a new, a pick you know, physically difficult to. but what's difficult is what people making that we can be very relaxed about. and we can talk about everything this is we thought it's not possible with everyone. what was it again, the way it works wonderfully. that's what number one, the 2 of them speak quite to from the about the funeral to christopher boyd and i like to bill scattered in the mountains. that would be important for me and to feed hardy, but not at the desk. the party always party and then the all my friends should celebrate life and the not death i and that's what i want. definitely movies. not seen on to the 9 months training course with the multi is us as an end of life and community for the she loved to keep the professional distance school. but with the key not, that's not easy. it is. and some have made such a woman how to the guy said to fully aware of her situation a little so. so positive that need she gives me energy, you know, even though i've no idea where she gets it from, you know,
4:46 pm
in but it's just lovely. yeah. this is, i prefer like he knows a few weeks later, she lives with her husband and an essex lot without a balcony in berlin. it's a huge effort to even get house if the to her husband helps her. it takes forever for them to make it down to 3 flows. claudina can only work short distance from the trips to the bench in front of the house as a special occasion. she's been married to her husband for 40 years and kind of rely on him and the 2 children. but she can't talk about her death with them as openly and easily as with want to, you know, latino is already racing in the kitchen today. the question is whether the key now will soon be going to the hospital my the you know, i didn't say if i'm still able to choose one or if i'm still together enough to make that choice myself. yeah. wonderful. now truly others go on sunday outings,
4:47 pm
but i'm saying to check out of hospice. there's times right just 2 months later at the beginning of december, the outing takes place. again, not husband wife going the supports of the companies. how to the appointment, though, he'd prefer to stay at home. but laguna has a mind of her own and it's open to look through with my tina. as i run on mailing this place into an amateur several discussions including with my teeth, the end of life coming on and i decided it would be better if my family is directly involved in the laws team. hopefully, i don't think it would be so good for them to say their mother being carried out and beat 1st because even when you more time, it's interesting to see if i missed most. i want to get 3 moment slay, says the key, not a student's home, and she's moved into the most central living room with my noise diego. but here's my new neural embed, rent, i've relocated all could fix it,
4:48 pm
was in between hila. everything's a bit brighter, both friendlier. i can also have visitors here and everything's wonderful. this wasn't all employees dealt with and her husband's just a push of a button away. this is mine, james. now the husband now works from home so that he can tend to, they've put off the move to the hospice for now. he's helped me because he does, i gets all the i've seen that she can still manage quite well at home. if you help are going, and i'd rather have her here than being alone all day and only going to visit her and to hit somebody open for them. so i can also accept that i am no longer treated as the husband to take. but as jane is the service yeah, yeah. and could you give pocket money to to know about 2 weeks of doctors visits? medina dies suddenly as gently as she had wished for. maxine up and cups,
4:49 pm
where is the policy out for to regina i will send a ration way of looking ahead with the policy to is also like like you know, imagine that out loud wrestling kind of phone that so we can read it should be from that's exactly how it's turned out on the east, the family feels aquinos last wish they schedule her ashes in the swiss mountains. a single post on social media has the power to change lives. it happened to sasha sion yak, who was born with down syndrome, and online post sparked a wave of solidarity and brief new life into the cafe where he works. it's in the bosnian town of to his lot. the cafe is unique. it employs people with disabilities and they are devoted to their jobs. so when word spread,
4:50 pm
it was facing closure. the community rallied. his job means everything to sasha, as shown. you. ok? he works almost every day at the clubs, me over search for dragons part club, cafe, and such. it has the heart of a fighter. he doesn't give up, even when the going gets tough. the file manager said it makes me so happy. i'm full of joy. let's say lima pony. i love working here and i always love it. rolling the i the more of the a top i could work here 24 hours without to break stuff. it to the mid up in a few that his colleagues for is presume of that you can't speak, but with definitely seconds that he even wanted to put a bed in the cafe. so he could spend the night there. the 2 of them are fortunate. in bosnia, there are next to no jobs for people with down syndrome. even though many have
4:51 pm
a vocational school diploma. for instance in gas tournament. the cafe project is the only one of its kind in bosnia, almost almost even seeing their faces and the faces of their families at the cafe is become like a 2nd home for them. causes the only because let me see what needs to be with the parent say that they've never been happier. i suppose that was one of the project was actually on the brink of failure. people with disabilities still struggle for inclusion in bosnia in the 1st few months. hardly any guests came. the cafe next door was full to the brim, but not so the dragon's heart apart from edema offended jean is the writer has known such as since childhood. she visits him in the cafe almost every day. one saturday, a few weeks ago she was the only guest. an old man took a photo of her new comes out of the i didn't know on there took my picture. we were
4:52 pm
sitting there chatting and he said he was going to post that the club was closing at the end of the month. he said that okay. um yeah, i said, oh, come on. it doesn't have to come to that. and he said, we can survive this financially. macintosh, i can post them, have to have hosting with everything changed. uh. is that the solutions this it 1st, the regional media reported on it. then it went nationwide news. and so suddenly we were full from morning till night. the most efficient to be the 1st 23 weeks. you couldn't get a table here for the business advisors on up the last level of them. yes. so it was a miracle they say, since then the cafe has been doing great. the guests pile on the praise. let you though like coffee. i'm telling you this one is the best kind of phase for you today tidy, almost identical to clean the trees. and the surface is top glass, something was to go ahead and be so cool me. well,
4:53 pm
i was quite surprised at 1st. i didn't expect it, but it makes no difference. i think they even serve me and the others with a bit more respect in friendliness and you'd see elsewhere similar projects are set to open in other locations. the dragon's heart cafe is just the beginning, but a promising one. it's a highlight for hikers in this with out one of the world's longest pedestrian suspension bridges with a steep upward pass. it's not for the faint of heart but those who cross the charles cooling bridge. i rewarded with an exhilarating view of the alps. the view below the bridge is also breathtaking, so much so that some hikers are forced to turn back. this is the longest pedestrian suspension bridge in the alps and one of the longest in the world. but
4:54 pm
you can only reach it on foot. getting there involves a steep climb from the switch village of rhonda through pristine untouched nature. most people can see it takes 2 hours to get to the bridge which over awarded with an amazing and panoramic view item. and on his part of it, almost nearly 500 meter low, a bridge spans part of the matter valley. it doesn't cost anything to cross, but you do have to have a head for heights. the slight swing motion can take a little getting used to. it takes about 10 minutes to cross. at its highest point, the bridge is 85 meters above the boulder strewn ravine. we love it. absolutely fantastic. you will have to climb up. what's the class and the view was spectacular. absolutely gorgeous. i my name's lawrence and it was very so, and if you look down is usually for and you need to show because this guy walks you through structure,
4:55 pm
you can't help but look down and adrenalin rush for some but too much for others. some even turn around this festival. it's the 1st time that i've been here. yeah. but because so many people were using it all at once. i got scared 5 more than shot, the hobby hunch the menu. but there's no real reason to be afraid, despite its delicate appearance, the 65 centimeter wide suspension bridge is very sturdy. just a few years ago hikers would walk through the ravine below, but the trail was becoming more and more dangerous. these have ties to keep busy part over here was always a bit of a problem because there's a rock glacier there, as well as permafrost tools. and often there was rock bottom gate, you put in the comments, and so we had to figure out how to make this section sake on one of these, these all transitional things to the suspension bridge. it's now much easier to hike the europa trail from causation to so much and enjoy spectacular views of switzerland's highest peaks. a. well, no chance of getting lost in the woods on that trail. well,
