you bear with nearly 1000000 asylums because many of whom also wanted to bring their families all hoping for a better future. here. the rise a number of creating problems for europe in nations. bedroom, for instance, is dropping with a substantial spike and asylum seekers in the capital city of brussels. residents are increasingly coming across men sleeping on the streets. the countries fail to meet its obligations to see what we were to provide lodging for me. asylum seekers have given rise to this situation as it is of those affected l y. seeing the protest, robin rodrigo, along with numerous others falls to sleep outdoors. as went the approach of europe, these man becoming uncertain of the future day breaking in the belgian capital. 47 year old for length and rubbing or 3 go has been sleeping rough for a few weeks night directly outside of belgium's asylum offices. and he's waiting

for them to process his application. my us the room. then he's a told me right now we don't have room because too much people of this country. then he went to sleep for the floor of the floor, with nowhere to go. he waits here, like dozens of others, rubbing watches as every morning at 8 30 am the brussels asylum applications and opens for half an hour. women and children and families line up on the left. single men on the right belgium provide shelter for refugee women and children that taken away from here immediately. but since october 2021 meant arriving alone and not given housing. since buckeye with phones telling them to get on the know ready for the waiting list. its volunteers who provide help every morning. the guys, if nothing, to do nothing to eat, know where to go. but normally,

according to the bedroom, know the bedroom with policies are compelled to keep a give a shy to interview for to these people and they decide not to comply with the know they don't get. all the refugees can do is wait. like nazareth teller, he was a soldier in the ass down on me before the west pull died. you arrived in belgium 3 months ago, fleeing the taliban in afghanistan. mice that you had sent as a bad look at this. i live in a 3 month 4151 live in this uh, 10. uh the there. is there any hour? seduce and is where you bet. off to the asylum office closes at 9. am people just bus for the day? i robin, his strong catholic faith brings him to brussels cathedral. he prays to find a way through this lovely and the need somebody to

get some of somebody. i use it as a the, one of the problem is that because he's not seen his wife and 2 young children in the 3 was the 1st of them robin says he had his possession stolen and that he no longer runs a passport. i want to move the family, then when i go to visa, then i can take my 2 kids and my wife that i like to stay the it i want. i like to it'll be put, but i don't have money, but he's still on certificates. he's received from jobs as a qualified, heavy duty construction well the you worked in iraq in 2005 in 2010 in cas tall and one year and a half in romania, according to the refugee charity flickering of ag, the average time it takes for an asylum request to be processed in belgium is $440.00 days on the you little people have the right to shelter during that weight

. and flexing of axes, this as a european problem, and you see an overall race to the bottom of the hold of the repeating union when it comes to the common asylum system, where every country versus a big worse than the neighboring country because they want to be less attractive, so in a way it is part of overall european policy to be the least attractive country out there that jim has a housing waiting list of a single man, which they cut off at $2700.00 names. so there were at least that many sleeping rocks, many hundreds more unable to even get the name on the list. the domestic belgian courts have ruled 8000 times against the government, the not upholding the right to reception. as did the european court of human rights against belgium, over 1700 times, we received a written response from the office of the belgians state 6th street in charge of

asylum. according to its belgium, faced a 40 percent increase in asylum requests in 2022 from 2021 and with 30 full size and 500 places. the asylum reception network in belgium has never been so large quote, nobody can save it. there is a lot of will to support the homeless men h r t 's have started occupying premises like this former office building in brussels, 350 men, mainly from berlin, dc don eritrea and yemen. lived here for bruce to pre leads, a 15 strong team and these having to reject around 20 new arrivals like this man. every day to day we have no, no free place. uh so i can put the people like this relatively new into the cycle of homelessness. and waiting robin is still convinced that his family's future is here in europe. this, my son kevin, this my door,

the book seat is me. and so he keeps waiting with moral men sleeping in the passages. i, belgians, asylum office. every day. lives very tough here. now, and it's not even when to yet in china as far machines are seen as an extension of beings influence in europe. the country leaders bills harshly with critics of damaging, including those who have fled into exhausted fand law who lives in london has been tirelessly advocating for freedom of expression and democracy in his homeland. for years, the chinese government has offered a bounty for inflammation that could lead to his asked the hong kong chinese active is does not feel safe, even in a fight. they. although freedom for hong kong from eggs island london fin low fights for democracy in his home country. despite the hong

kong government offering a bounty of over 100000 euros for his capture. including myself, this token of the system has a prospect to my life. as well as my unwavering quest for the more christie essentially to transnational repression the aims and crushing older voices as pro democracy across the globe. the hong kong authorities went to a rest, the 30 year old and put them on trial in hong kong. they claim that's been low and 7 other active as their subversive elements. working with foreign governments to infiltrate the state. we want to reclaim our testing. we want you to reclaim all freedom, reclaim our rights to democracy. that's what self determination. hong kong has had a special administrative status since it's hand over from britain to china in 1997

. it's based on a doctrine of one country to systems. but this principle is showing cracks. beijing is exerting increasing influence. 4 years ago, hundreds of thousands of people from hong kong took to the streets to demonstrate against beijing's interference. fill out a surveyor by profession was one of the leaders at the time. he spent 2 days in police custody after which he fled to great britain. the former colonial power of these days, it's only a small representative group protesting in london. and hong kong itself. hardly anyone dares to publicly criticize the chinese government withdrawing the free world one day after 9 intense myself. and we have witnessed our system at a real issue of our freedoms as well as democracy and autonomy. and, and right now we have more than 1600 food increase in the surfing the lives in the home comprises been louse, speaks of intimidation,

even an exile in london. peace cautious and believed. it's quite likely that attempts could be made to kidnap him. he's spoken of an incident shortly after his arrival in britain, where he was brutally beaten up by a group of strangers. the british government does not want to extradite then loud and the british borton secretary says no attempts to intimidate and silence people will be tolerated. we've repeatedly asked the chinese embassy in london for a statement, but haven't received a reply of the china town as an epicenter of london's chinese community. hardly anyone here wants to comment on the situation in hong kong. it's too sensitive. those who do express an opinion tend to support the chinese government and its influence in hong kong. the hong kong should definitely have his right to make decisions. of course that is true because the separate policies, but i do believe that hong kong isn't on separate both part of china. ongoing

economy like is actually pretty bad is to use. so i think is good for home people as well also for me and then i think some tech didn't see it differently in march. right. through the middle of china town been low calls on the british government to impose sanctions on hong kong officials and to detach itself economically from china. they may be sol regarding technical issue, the on the other hand we have some ministers or maybe some, some other people would pursue for more trading with, with china, increasing our dependency on the chinese market. i would say, well, we must well change from this kind of inconsistent approach in london, venmo and the other activists can express their opinions publicly in front of the chinese embassy. they dream that one day this will be possible again and hong kong

quite this excited about this school lunch? especially when it's full of budget to move. well, the children and this friend school are given means that are remarkably heavy. and on top of that, that totally organic moss i to is a small town and southern friends with a little over $10000.00 residents and perhaps one of the most eco friendly places in the country. they use the cane use us so fresh. they squeak when they cleaned. there's so many the left us till next week. no, it's all for today. it's 8 am at the school cafeteria and was set to great. frederick is in a great mood today. it was listed as these up. today we're making pizza. we prepared to do yesterday so that it could rise over night. that way it's nice and soft. they're all in the. the, the kitchen may be pretty cramped,

but it runs like clockwork. the team is hot at work, preparing lunch space of 300 meals a day here and everything is completely organic. making this kitchen a great model for the rest of france. the season we only cook with vegetables that are in season. it starts with zucchini . piri chard, and then we also have dental you can just so much fun cooking with fresh ingredients. and at noon it's time for a lunch break. the children are already pretty impatient. i won't move past this. now i won't move the children i may get as much as they can actually age. the idea is to avoid food waste.

a quiet life here. be a a scary is the man just like his father before him. and he's an ecological pioneer in the otherwise deeply conservative region was that too is considered the model green city of southern france. the, the, the underlying idea is to create a place where people like to live and are happy to offer a high quality of life in an environment that remains as intact as possible you can receive that's why the city has for it to provide its own water supply to all households buying against power from companies operating across regions. the next go to become self sufficient in energy production to the media center is just the beginning. us get, he has had solar panels installed on the roof because he is the sun shines $300.00

days a year. the ecological mindset isn't very present along the court as you, it's not much of a trend here, and there's really still a lot to do. fits of when he has a point, there's quite a bit of catching up left to do, especially when it comes to traffic cause roll through the city in the morning and off to work with not a bike path inside. but instead they have this a bike workshop for everyone. here you pay 5 euros a month to get your bike fixed up. the local government helps fund the project in the hope that more people will switch to biking vision. yes, it's a brilliant idea. they always give you advice and help you so you can get on your bike again, like, you know, solving the bike expos, give guidance, and help everyone the best been. what is it working well now
