to the topic, so much trouble, fixed a new culture, and in 15 minutes, let's say together parts of our community life on the research is now on the top. the hello and welcome to this week's focus on europe with me on a home, donnie. more than a 100000 people fled from the car back in place to armenia in september. now, ethnic armenians are trying to build a new life for themselves as a buzz on use military force to bring the area under control. the majority of our media and people select to neighboring armenia for many,

it is most probably an escape without thought or to victoria and gab or gun also found refused, and armenia. she's glad that she has say for now and wants to make a new style. the with her family, her new home is now in the small village of alice. but the memory of what was taken from her is very strong. her home is in the garden of her, but she's certain that she will never be able to read to the apples like these are hanging in her garden to back home and they're going to come back. but victoria devora again can't pick them any more since lane from us or by johnny rockets. she's been living with her daughter in law. no heat in her grandson . honest vic, here in our lives. i mean, yeah. she rents a place to stay from this woman here. when victoria thinks about all she's lost, she makes flat bread filled with metals. inquiry under. it's a typical dish and they're going to car back. it's doors,

memories and comforts are a bit less shamika because they're really spicy. so it's a lot of kept her face to victoria, had to leave her home with no advance notice that on monday to pull the minute, we had to leave everything behind. we had just the clothes on our backs and nothing else. on 6 of us took a little car together, she didn't go to bed and then the poor could make a note. we'd pack just 2 blankets full to cover ourselves at night and quote, the zone to color in company. most of the shit it's office hours are by john sudden attack on they're going to kind of back cause people to flee on mass in just a few days over a 100000 ethnic. armenians fled from the enclave towards armenia. by launching cord or in the mountains, they were afraid of being hunted down because of their years fighting for independence since the war between the neighboring countries. 3 years ago, the region has been under as every control your means were for us to recognize the

sovereignty of us or by john over the land. and now tens of thousands of people from the car back like that. the morgan family must start over from scratch in armenia. the 5 of them are sharing this patio and 2 tiny rooms. the isaac's father has found a job as a taxi driver. his older sister doesn't wish to be filmed. it has to be the most of them, but as good lady, but slowly no words can't describe what we've been through the homeowner. we've bought a room every day is a little and asks when we're going back almost every day. good in the morning and evening because the richard armenia has taken on the refugees. many don't have anything left and need government support. the european union and international aid organizations have been sending aid,

but the poor country in the congress. this is overwhelmed. the, the 2nd level, the arrival of over a 100000 people from the going to car to box is putting a massive strain on the armenian economy. and especially regarding banks and office because most of the refugees have debts on the go on a current buck only had armenian banks. and oh, my god. and they are owed around half a $1000000000.00. now like a combined guy, you know, my garbage disposal, huckman industrial man, like dozens of refugee families, the give organs flat from the corner, kara back in, arrived in the village of our lives, with almost nothing there about 45 kilometers from the armenian capital of unit on many are traumatized from having to flee, and the war between armenia and azerbaijan. 3 years ago, many soldiers are buried at the cemetery, and yet, on almost 4000 armenians lost our lives back. then almost every family had a deceased or injured acquaintance, friend or family member to more than back then,

including victoria of oregon. for grand daughter was killed in a rock extract. it is a cook. i'm not supposed to meet with the kids were waiting for the taxi so they could be taken to the underground shelter. it was 7, 10 in the morning. you'll find a rocket flew right at us, i think. and think of the my 2 daughters in law were injured, not supposed to be doubled with this porter. so you see it hit my grandson on the head arm and let it beat steep. so speed about a was 40 and a lot made in the more was a major turning point for the armenians, because they're a key strategic highlight. russia provided less and less support. there may still have been rushing peacekeepers station in the corner car on the back to protect the armenian population. the shootings were coming along as airy armenian border. and even now, when i was advised on a technical, you know, kind of back, moscow didn't intervene to help push the

mushroom open. if lynette was a revelation for us, i'm wondering if we understood we were alone without our allies. it's a tragedy. and it hurts to say, see russia shares responsibility for this tragedy? like many refugees from the gartner car back, the good war against feel in danger. remembering the state, many of the people met over a century ago when genocide took the lives of hundreds of thousands of armenians. no mooney belong. i'm each the, i don't have any plans, like just a dream of laughter. i'd like to return to nicole and look at her back one day to visit my little daughter's grave. i choose them to do, but i don't want my remaining children to live there anymore. but the most that the i don't want to lose them to. i'm so not the mean for me not going to kind of back will always be a war torn region of when you beauty, we've lost our trust and up and both the government and anyone else of. we only trust ourselves anymore, making those domestic the stuff. but it's not me, i don't know what will become about this, matthew dodge and that god will victoria

good board. can her family and their many fellow refugees don't expect to be able to return to they're going to come back for now. all they have left are their memories serbia has a particularly close relationship with china, especially when it comes to economy. why serbia is thinking investments, and the far is the chinese are targeting to expand their influence in europe, which is why they to cobra the some of the revo still works and the south of battle great. a few years ago since then, more and more people in the neighboring village, i'd rather not have complained about her run those air pollution from the factory drug. i know millers has lived there for full decades. it's never been this bad, she says, and she says it will stay that way because the still know secures thousands of jobs in a part of serbia that is already very impoverished. i

of what is in our lungs, guy on the nation flow to this, this is on the lamp post and what's in our lungs and inside our bodies, nobody knows east by and i'm on the only point i don't know. do you know it's, it's a small village near bell. great. a lot of people die here. their pictures on land posts covered with red stuff. drug on a millage would love to leave for a village. she tells me. but no one wants to buy her house. it too is covered in thick red dust admitted from the steel me a ride across from her home. and we saw that look over there, see how much smoke the rooms, the what used to be home to more than 5000 people a decade ago is now increasing the dotted with empty homes. young

people in particular are turning their backs on the village in search of federal page. all that steal meal is one of serbia's oldest industrial facilities, commonly referred to as the pride of serbia. it provides thousands of jobs in the region and has said various owners from the serbian stage to us owned back to a serbian plant in 2012 of the since 2016, it's a chinese state on enterprise watts is allegedly changed here since china took over it's difficult to speak to locals here on camera. they are afraid they tell us

this couple to doesn't want to be recognize their children, brooke, for the serbian government, ironically in the health sector. they say, but they want us to fund these photos. they to gulf what appears to be a gigantic, dirty cloud right above the factory. they sometimes we hear explosions, earplugs against the noise. that's all they can do. they say they're just waiting for people to die. even before the chinese. here, there was criticism against a steel plan. according to data from the regional hospital is matter of cancer rates have quadrupled here during the past decade. environmental activists like, can you call that christie to want the plans to be cleaned up and are demanding filters against pollution? he's the head of a watch. talk is measurable, some nichol,

i goes door to door to find out how people are affected. do you have an issue with the dust? of course i do and the water is not good. everyone here has a story to share about the plants and nickel that wants to listen and gather as much evidence as possible he sent to you. i admitted the only thing left to go. i've had 2 big tumors and 2 years you must do. you have hope that things will get better. i've got this to watch and i don't find it. but i'm still stock cool because of the situation is very concerned and is that most of eligible? but she's pretty certain that my wife wants us to move away from here, but not only because of her for that, but also for the future of our children as any the maybe the more we think we have 3 children. some of them things aren't getting better able to assist you because we didn't have to be don't see that changing zone. but it's called in them all just to

slow your mess. x to this, including nicholas say that change is difficult in par due to the serbian state, allegedly not being willing to enforce environmental stand. people who work in the steel plan are concerned about losing their job. you have a very key part of this is a paradox. here because for one you have people who depend on the plan for their livelihoods will soccer and there's also an emotional component. and what, because the plan has been there for generations, a getting it out so you will not. but on the other hand, that same factory kills them, probably poisons them every day. they'll probably get through. it's lucky done. all the environmental organizations share these assessments. but for many who lived here, this met, or ovo steel plan, seems the only option you know, already impoverished part of serbia. that body, that having a job is more important than the environmental neg with the rest of the deals

manually. i am personally more concerned that people do not lose their job and the solution isn't affecting us spectrum was the sub, the chinese and the serbian flag are seen when approaching the steel plant operated by h. b. i. as the chinese investor, we have asked for permission to film inside, but our request was left on and so we want to try again. cameras are not welcome. we manage to film nonetheless. too much for those is a bizarre conversation with the public relations representative against the backdrop of a sign promoting environmental policies. so i should go to china and request an interview to talk to someone here in serbia that's been on the procedure. we receive another email address and make another request, but once again, no reaction. our next stop south rate the capital.

we want to find out whether inspections are being carried out by the serbian state . a written request through the health ministry and the environmental ministry. remain unanswered or follow ups via phone without any result. instead, we meet milenko bundle beach in back rates for us. in 2021, you gather death samples from the steel planned for the national ecology association and n g o. he founded to identify environmental problems and make them popular any of your search. his findings able to typically lucas, i've said, god arsenic all academy. i'm a chrome man, mercury, nickel. those, these things should not be present in the air at all. so when they say that they are toxic materials, heavy metals that cause cancer and they shouldn't be there by $230.00,

i'll think about that. it's probably something that was in it. he says those who put prostate before house or the people should be sanction, may be peace calling on the serbian government. and what's the adult you thought the these are, there's the idea that about the state should act with the factories under the control of the state up what's going on. we need transparency, but the citizens will tell them where the problem is. that's why and where incidents happen and how to protect themselves. dusta into then think we did this. i was told that we need adequate filters who think they must work people and keep working or they caught the new cobra is, but i read it, went through that that i then back in that i do not. but i got a milledge sets old her whole on environmental activists who told her they would bring the case to be your court of human rights. she says, everyone here knows what's wrong, but people who oppose inspections. don't want to understand. nobody wants to close the plant, but stop the toxic waste poisoning the village. the struggle is sticking

a tool in her. it's exhausting. she sense the dream is simple. it's good on people holler. the honestly, i would love to retire and spend the rest of my life with my grandchildren from you all spelled up a z. that is my only wish to me tell me is right. yeah. who grandchildren really come? it's not safe to touch anything here or play upsides drug in a sense, alive, increasingly constrained to be spent inside for, for will in her life mostly takes place outside of her home. good is from to okay and works as a belly dancer, performing through the night and assemble the dawn. so presents a center is old tradition that is an integral part of turkish culture. a ticket is

in then economy cries is inflation. is that over 60 percent? and going out in the evening is becoming more and more expensive. stopping people from enjoying not life. the people of turkey are also becoming increasingly conservative every year under the slimy government. this makes it difficult for goods to make a living from dancing of the belly. dancing is goos. primary source of income every evening. the belly dancer performs in bars and restaurants and is done book. the art form has been entered. training people on the prosperous for centuries. but cool has noticed it's becoming increasingly difficult for guests to kick back and enjoy the show. these days they really think about exactly how many meals and what drinks and how much they'll order. it was different before on the weekend,

they'd really let loose, but those days are over. traditionally, dances are paid solely by the guests putting money into their outfits this evening . most are giving 100 leering notes. c the equivalent of about 3 years, each girl who prefers we use are stage name knows that many can't afford to give more. but there are other problems to do to television, the band belly didn't seen on television, which are the are, everything's getting more and more conservative. jessica selected by me, the landlords no longer want to rent me because i earn my money, its ability to answer all the people that they say. why should i rent to someone like that? after dancing through the night and appearing and 5 bars can relax a bit when she gets home with a colleague, she looks back to

a time when turkey was more liberal and business was better, fairly dancing. she says, was it one time a respected profession? already on 10000 down the line and that was when i was little, the whole family spent new year's eve in front of the tv fascinated and watched the belly dancers walk over the child. teen mental. these attitudes have an impact on us all. and the end of the dump, the leaves, not just those dancers size, we're going to put all the women in turkey, cousins on that issue. the country is becoming more conservative with each year that passes. and at the same time the economy is slumping. the turkish lyric continues to lose more of its value against the dollar in the euro, and with inflation sitting at an official rate of 62 percent. hardly anyone can afford to go out in the evening anymore. so there are more and more empty tables and the pubs bars and entertainment venue is some of the we usually check out

a few places 1st and then pick the cheapest that are used to go out once a week. these days it's once a month to continue a price increases for alcohol and $50.00 entertainment sector, particularly hard. the prices have low to more and more people making their own alcohol at home. to do so much on the go needs to start getting ready for the evening shows. she doesn't know how long she'll be able to continue earning a living, dancing. she gets fewer tips and has more expensive course to me up to use the up to them. my costumes get more expensive every month. how much stronger go storage i the issue that i'm going to sit entering the cornerstones and the tailor tells me that the, the dollar stronger commotion, the material in the sequence are more expensive. if i were able, i would buy ahead and just stuck up,

but i can't so the only thing left for good to do is wait for better times in the entertainment sector. for more recognition and above all, for better pay the to lets see those chains and winter brings forth and call the days, especially if you live in northern europe. lillian, which lies on the coast of northern sweden, is close to the arctic circle. here the winter is all very dark, cold and lonely to come by this loneliness as of course b. and if i bred 10 quiz have come up with a very special campaign, it is meant to lift the spirits not only of the residents, but also a visit test. when you're not fit now comes out. he makes sure to stay warm by putting 2 coats on. originally from munich,

the 20 year old move to leo 3 months ago. he wanted to see what life was like in northern sweden. if you still have not for forever, it's too dark for that. i just saw, but i thought it would be interesting for half a year. he's off to a lecture and today it's minus 12 degrees celsius. units quickly understood that he would have to get used to different amounts of sunlight. moments but suddenly it gets dark at 3 o'clock already very different from germany. there's much less sun life. it's mostly cloudy. we've never really gets very bright to you can almost go to bed for the ones that off in the food. there's plenty of light in the lecture hall to ensure students remain alert, but it remains cold and miserable outside. the industrial city of lou leo is not known for being the most beautiful. there is a major steel plant here. in the harbor, the ice breakers will soon go out to clear the ice in the baltic sea. well,

indeed, the people often walk by one another without creating each other. according to a recent survey, $1.00 and $4.00 people in sweden feels lonely crystals each. so a campaign has been launched to encourage people to just say, hey, or hello to each other. news kosky and eva brit chunk this came up with the idea. and with good reason says and the thing is, if i'm coming from, there's research that shows that creating people has a positive effect on wellbeing and health. what does he have since we felt that we had to do something? that's the, that's the thing is the the 2 are setting a good example in lieu and it's not only older people who are lonely. kosky says that people between 16 and 29 also often feel alone. she's come to this high

school to talk about the issue with the students and how you doing this is how do you say hello to your fellow students in the hall on amazon? don't give someone goes past, i'll look up or to, but many just carry on with a determined look and speak to them. don't. i don't know this campaign will be enough to change things. as they come to apply, the people's habits are hard to change and go long. sometimes habits have to be broken just like the ice in the baltic. the ice doesn't scare punters that external, who founded the winter bathing association and do do, and even young ones are braving the coal to all the salma. it's more fun together and it makes them look more social or the association already has $500.00 members. most of them come on the weekend,

but there's almost always a place to be found in the sun. nothing is better for fighting loneliness than sweating together and going for a dip in ice cold water. ringback on the outside, it's a good way of meeting people, especially for those who are not alone by choice, relative to the the whole thing really is i'm here at least here. they can feel better for a while for a couple thing. and for the office, there's aspect of 1st on there's still some darkness ahead. as the days we'll keep getting shorter until the winter solstice. it's available. so you know, split in there has found a way of coping with the darkness. you often goes for hikes in the woods with a friend. there are many ways to fight loneliness and northern suite in an open fire and a friendly head can go a long way. that's well for this. so this and i'll

focus on your up. we'll be back next week. thank you for watching and by the the
