the even the ruins of the former. well, opera house have been integrated into an open air theatre. the cfo, which points to space in the length of the city. so when the performance has taken place of business and finally concept that the sound spills out into the streets. so it may have, everyone knows everybody knows people sometimes stand on the edge and watch even though they're not inside the theater itself. it's very impressive because it's open the air. and when you look at the building behind, it looks as if it's the back for the side of fits, right? yes. in fact, the choice of the green was from spied by the green of the balconies when it's dark and it's all, it's all not facility gets sort of closer to the interior. and it feels like once used to be the innovation of the of the 5th conrad glucagon is convinced that the letter can only retain its vitality. images past is integrated into the

presence. the city's history should enrich rather than limited. it shows me the and chatting point from the upper, but rocket gardens. the if you look at this, you don't have to say anything anymore. this garden was built on the highest bastion of the land with which cations, originally multi landscape, was 3 full maximum stories heights like this. it's no one hard zone to 5 years ago . the opportunity to start building higher buildings towards building was so now lots of buildings helping them put you on the 30 or 40 stories high. you're kind of or no, i'm not fond of it. the conservation of landscape is going to obviously change. how is that progresses? with lenses on something you can really control and i don't even want you to be scared of change. multi is

a place of tradition and modernity ramp and construction bull here. tranquil beach us in laguna, their time with nation is trying to negotiate the middle ground between the needs of tourism and multi residents. the small fishing village cross sectional is the home of the typical maltese wouldn't vote called alludes. it's idyllic. now i'm traveling further south here on the main island to a place where a very exclusive multi specialty awaits me. it's been, it's in now it's a g. we me what it is. i told the germans have sausages. how do you in the italian pizza, and the multi c c t c to so it's sad that it's meant to be very tasty. i'm looking forward to eating something with it. is 10 kilometers from the capital tier. this logan is loading it if you to, to, to work and virtual meeting body to develop the founder of the bus.

um and even even, and when you want to divorce it, it's in, you know, was into abuse around 6 years ago. something like that, 67 and 4 that you could for that's no, there was no other voice and was a wonderful aroma entices us back to the kitchen. or my very 1st batch of self made steed see awaits us. but since it's already, yes, i'm all day long. so good golden round a round. i think they're very crispy. so i try the one with the cheese. okay, this one? yes. it's so good. good. it's so good. it's so good. it's really good. it's really the best under pressure. yes. yes, yes, yes, it's

a good this so i can stay the whole day now you think them through? it's really good. you know, at the beginning when you look at them and say, what's special about it, but now you can see how good it's, it tastes, it smells. so it's, it's worth it. i'm glad you like the the island nation has been a member of the european union since 2008. and in this tax haven, people like to show off what they have. it's a popular place for wealthy english people to retire to, for example. it's a paradise for car lars. i'm surprised to stumble across a vintage car rally and pull it up. the bunch of multi has its dark sides too. late. 2017. and assassination shop. the country's political release and sparked

a national crisis. journalist destiny kawana elisia was investigating a high level corruption scandal when she was murdered in a car by the attack struck the country and led to the resignation of top politicians. october's 5 thousands. it seemed. would it be in october 2017, that the journalist asked me to lead me to help with murdered you, just a short distance from her home on either of ideas or investigative work, and focused on political and financial corruption and multi off mazda concepts here . and in music, it's important to me as a journalist, but i come here to make a point where on that and then sessions, i believe democracy must guarantee freedom of opinion in the media and in a democratic events. are all mazda is part of the you, it's my thoughts. and i expect that freedom of speech, it should be a cornerstone and such a country and gornstein from so and the blinds in the country more demanded in the corruption in life. now multi has to

prove it can implement the rule of law and respect the freedom of the press, so as to ensure a document called the one that got it. so you did not dying and they were leaving the main island and taking the very northwest vs on them. you had stuff closer with the sudden instead of we're heading for goes by we're going to visit the city of victoria. hi victoria. it's a small city, but it has to offer houses open. the question is, why to why the go? so is the 2nd largest island and the multi is archipelago. it's almost 14 kilometers long and just over 7 kilometers wide most of goes those 31000 residents live in the islands capital victoria. it's a bit quieter here than it is on the main island. most interested in the 2

offer houses, the aurora and the tower through us that are here. i meeting the director, john goliath, the 2 buildings are just 300 meters. a part i came to goes over here and i have one question. why do you need to approach here on a very small island? it's because there's the rivalry between the 2 band clubs in victoria. the other bank club has also the out all over the house. and there's this at the out to us. so which is the seat of oprah as well, and out of sheer, the artist, the cries of a button, but the good sense of a competitive sense. how is the competition affecting on the quality of the production? so doing obviously, um there would be much more engagement and commitment by the

members of the opera at the restaurant who are actually engaged to promote the highest, such as the griffin for both the opera houses were built at the end of the 1960s. and they've been vying with one another since then visitors, do they go to both whole process or you you have the feeling, some are really loyal to one to approach. some of the helpful just may be that it's like you've done, right. all right, so yes, yeah, yeah, so the club, this it is, it is, but i mean, as, as a sense of much yours the, let's put it that way. we've gone from strength to strength and people are going over to each other as the authors. and 1st of all, and also to see the, the level of the so that the competitive edge is always there. it is very much

like mcauliffe artistic activity. the yet the island nation is surprising. and another aspect in 2017, the multi is parliament voted overwhelmingly to legalize same sex marriage since then goes to a wedding planners, jewels wiltshire and catherine goods of almost had more homosexual than heterosexual customers. business you? which space sometimes just for you around facing each other with the readings and your fires and every single, the exchanging of rings will be done here. all your guests will be seated on the terrace looking out this way. so over stays in the back in the letter. i'm amazed at how

progressive catholic multis approaches to transgender it's almost sexual issues in the spartacus gate travel index, the island is ranked as one of the most elegy bt friendly countries in europe. meeting clayton, mexico, and l. g, b, t i q, community organizer to find out more see, catholic church is very selection here on uh, on mazda um, how is that affecting on that? would you be tied to rights? i would say since the 2011 ford center for in the show that people want to move on and have the rights to do far as this kind of changed the mentality even for the church to not be so focused on, on purchasing the speed of what people wanted to choose. i'm fortunate to sit at issue a funds out over women when it comes to rights for the rights in mind. that's the white tagging behind. but when it comes to educate you i to you. right. so yeah,

i think that that's the concept get in mind with as we're having this fancy, whereas if, if you guys are far ahead i would say in the word indemnity. we don't hear about aggression or home a whole beyond directly towards our community as such. but the cases, the sierra for something towards the trans women. oh, face the physical, the online abuse. and so that's was quite shocking for us. the clean, organize that the annual multiplied. we can pride march place in new york for an organization that takes care of the v i t q right here on my desktop. and what do you do? except even though once i was very small, i was gonna say the violation of the fact that we don't have a lot of eligibility places where to go to it's always based on events. and i think

that's one of the things that we're doing in g o l, i think the communities to, to create that sort of sense of belonging and community for, for are the eligibility kind. the multi hasn't many facets. most people only know the place is a beautiful holiday. i'm but it's also become one that the trash cut spots at the refugee crisis. again and again, thoughts that have pulled survivors from the sea put into ports here. not as location, 350 kilometers from the libyan coast is the primary reason for that. more than 15000 people have died in recent years trying to reach your, of the of the mediterranean sea, needing some survivors who made it as far as multi i. yes, when did you arrive years? it's on the 201800. libya

across the sea, across the certificate. so can and how is the journey and what the problem is that you have? well, we came in this morning, but somebody calls in the votes of death. difficult to get in and you either leveled on either side on to the us about it now in sort it was tough right? the minutes that somebody because it was time we were it. so you for 7 days for 7 days we were on a ship. the contractor different countries, but no one wanted to take us about it. and then the united nations decided that we should come here to move to the same deeply moved by their fate. what will happen to them? how many will get stranded on this on within the future?

when will the you find a collected solution to the problem? i'm speaking with aaron's, i'm a to do. the multi photo journalist has captured scenes from the refugee drama. what does that mean? is it terry? and you can see today mean to you uh, to me personally, it's a lot of things. it's my home office. and that's what we have seen over the past for 20 years of service. it's also a graveyard. the huge numbers of people crossing from africa trying to get to you it most and most of the deposit is tend to be from libya and the number of fatalities enormous. the germans accounts for shocking. it shows me photographs of rescue mission. so that is witness.

2 to have the times when i put down the cameras and help tasks. yeah, i had taken enough pictures anyhow, so there's no point in it. can you click somewhere and his photographs are a stark reminder of what many don't want to accept human rights are at stake. here just as a guy, you know, they have to speak to that skips, obviously when these people don't know if they're going to nipple dye once they realize they've survived. it's a very, very positive emotional experience. and if you think they don't really appear to be, i mean, yeah, i'm some breakdown into some sort of celebrates and saying and pray. but there's a lot and a lot of crying there's one rescue mission that there and will never forget the the most domestic weekend

for me was east of 2017 where several people from in tennessee. there was a match, struggle for them. how does this have an impact on you? you know, you get some of these um, as of images fashion back to your minds, which do not go away. they sometimes come back to you at the most unexpected moments. more than just think about the funds with suicide and the same risk is the same, we can think about the, the, the baby who's likes is likely safe. what policy is change from your perspective, according to your opinions. and i would love to see a more solid attitude between the defend till you appear in the countries, you know, when it comes to creating a you with a life policy on how to how to share these people out as

a month themselves. the fact that old countries have to agree in this, i mean, that is obviously a problem because, you know, unfortunately there are some e u member states which are adamantly against having refugees on there. so the, as long as europe fails to open up or to help, and as long as there is no improvement in the refugees, countries of origin will continue to see these dreadful images from the mediterranean mazda. so please visit small to has been really, really into lots cuz he still feels he hadn't expected to experience so much of the island a very small, but it's architecturally very rich dimension. and with the people i sometimes got the feeling i could be multi is 2 by 2 years as they're very close to arrow culture . i've had also very european level piece within when they speak, i feel i've understood understanding which i hadn't expected at all. to me. just

mazda is, i couldn't say that is really like any other country has done someone's unicoi state was they said the, [000:00:00;00]
