arrangements that people elected long before the pyramid, technical and logistical feet that symbolized the impossible, really see it. stones tell the story of a powerful resolution. what exactly happened as a 10000 years ago? secrets shown age stats, december 22nd on the w and the hello and the welcome to focus on europe. it's wonderful to have you with us. scores of refugees continue to attempt to reach you are risking their lives in the winter. the journey to the spanish canary islands is particularly dangerous. nevertheless, the small island of arrow is reporting an unprecedented increase in refugees. moto
8:31 am
a young senegalese arrived on this island 3 years ago, but his dream of starting a new life has not yet come to refuge you a work group at the say the drum and her husband. his bare though are familiar with such stories, some of which leave them a motion to lead great. this port on grand canal aria is of special significance to moto, he's from senegal, and like many other west africans, he came here on a small, overcrowded fishing boat. this year, tens of thousands made the perilous journey same, but more than all i was thinking was. i'm going to die. if not today, tomorrow. it's what i sense the danger we were active otherwise, go have to imagine to the boat went up. that didn't crash down. sometimes it almost
8:32 am
broke apart. if noble people were crying that they must, all i could think about was my mother who did i never see her again. so it moto survived the life threatening crossing, but his hopes of traveling to the spanish mainland for a new life have slowly faded. it's been 3 whole years since he arrived in the canaries and motors still can't leave. all the while. boats from west africa continued to dock here around 35000 people made the journey this year over twice as many as last many arrive with injuries. hundreds more, di, etc. the crossing from west africa to the canary islands is considered one of the most dangerous brutes to europe. finally, get upon throne is confronted with this reality every day. he's the mayor of albuterol, the smallest of the islands. he's on his way to the cemetery, yet another funeral for a migrants who died,
8:33 am
etc. miss young lady. good. i'm happy that we can bury them here. what kind of a scene along side everyone else from our community for k, but i'm sad because we don't have their names. the gravestones are blank home, but if i can, that means that no one will come to look for their husband, their child, their brother. somebody is also equal or for him on motors, mother and brother are still instead of go. he misses that, he'd never risk his life crossing on a boat again. he says pull that are going to be that you gamble with your life. is this some make it many don't have him we to him, which i mean i've lost so many friends at sea. i tried to warn them that they wouldn't listen. it's more important than they have not a guessing take it and the sort of thing the story is to say that the pads their
8:34 am
own and our husband know all too well we'll be all probably of the volunteers are making preparations for a new shelter in a former monastery, but space on the island is running out of hand broken for the cable. one to the left. jelly. make the bed all. no, compare the 1st aid kit on the what? the key in the key. yes. let's see how many there are. first of a a, and then we can decide where to put the babies, women, and children. but us the injured to take the 1st floor and the others the 2nd week i'm. i look at them a whole good by the very to 10 a reef, transporting hundreds of refugees to the larger island. many more are expected. so more to harder than they are so many coming. we just can't take care of them. the one boat arrives. you give everyone water and take them to the showers, then, and other boats come in 280 people to yeah, they say you must reorganize again. i see where you can find a more bad side of how the money side by the one who said look,
8:35 am
got hard at out and it and does it. and we can big although many arrived sick or wounded just a few days ago, a man and just said he does care, died. deputy see be a big girl, is not, it's a real blow you ever need to have them. do you wonder if you could have done more? whether you should have checked again that night? you dial the same thing, not as for, can we meet them, get to know them. and then when i say most, it's difficult to complete the mode who is considered an economic migrant. he was denied asylum, which means he'll be deported. the device, the most on the refugees from other countries might be here for a month or 2 before being allowed to travel to the main la. and those are the most of that we have from synagogue and there's no war. there are no idea of them. so they told us we have to go back to our country and put
8:36 am
a suffice mode. who lacks the legal grounds to stay. but he is staying foot working as a taylor and acquaintance took him in, but the situation makes him unhappy. and yes, so you get, my family keeps asking me for money to stay a little, but you're in europe now. they saying, and i think, but africans, idea of europe has little to do with reality. and i don't know if you live here and have paper. so you can have a good life way to sell it. otherwise you have nothing with and, and i, and i left so much behind which of course i had a good job and it's in a go, i'm with the whole, but i lost everything. you know, if you have any adult model hopes it wasn't all in vain. but so far he says, his dream of a better life in europe has not come true. when it comes to air pollution bosnia and herzegovina rang some of the worst. any of the
8:37 am
country has a bundled and lick, not coal resources. this coal is also used in the country's largest power plant in cost. this power plant helps me to big chunk of the country so that tricity needs and provides thousands of people in the region with 6 your employment. however, residents like ease, it has started to express health concerns. there is an increasing incidence of cancer and respiratory problems similar to population near the power plant. so how toxic is this neighborhood really? kina is harvesting the last tomatoes of the season. they're not as tasty anymore as the ones in august. she says, she's 74 years old and lives alone. the house is right next to the biggest coal power plant in bosnia and herzegovina. more home, so i have to grow my own vegetables. liquid good and i can't walk very well and the supermarket is far away to the door. but when i harvest something,
8:38 am
i wash it well 33 times. indeed it i don't think it's dangerous mediaspace, though. she tells me she has 4 chicken and 2 cats that keep her company after her husband died. uh, was me over to the uh, to certain this. my husband died his stomach cancer in 2018. so, but i don't know what cost ariel was it. okay. i'm pulling up the play set goodies on one side of getting us house lies the coal power plant. on another side, it's asked disposal site. this is the body as from the plant stumped. it's just outside of town, but it feels as far away as the moon. this is what we meet dennis cisco. so he is an environmental activist and has been
8:39 am
opposing the power plant for years. so if you look at this, this poisonous life with wash, i can and softer of to think that it's full of heavy metals. cotton you, i've sent a lid, it's most healthy. so that's what's most up. it's in charge for me. please do last year ends. but nothing this would be asked from the plant is pumped with water into the basin. presumably the ash will be left chief of good dentist tells me that according to a study he did, together with the scientist from the university up to us not to mixture contains a range of heavy metals, the voltage, toxic, and extremely alkaline. he says, so it should not come into contact with underground water. so how,
8:40 am
how is this space and how is it sealed off? and they just build a dime at the end of the valley. and unfortunately, there's nothing ceiling the bottom of this thing. so that's where we have a problem because the way it should have been done, they should have put the liner, some kind of prevention of this water penetrating the underground water, which they didn't do. a dentist come see a rec, you and i need to document the site piece of freight. that heavy metals will end up in the soil, the ground water, and ultimately the food chain. we want to know that just as tight violate legal standards, according to our legislation, if the legal, unfortunately uh, the environmental permits and they're doing everything in accordance with the environmental permits. so the problem we have in this country is that the whole system is actually working to predict the polluters rather than predict the people in the nature. are we asked the company with
8:41 am
a ceiling exist. i'm guessing evasive answer, saying they comply with the old regulations. to double check the accusations, we ask the environment ministry to get an insight into the official environment impact assessment of the site. did tell us that it can get ahold of to document votes and sorta pollution might be one issue at pollution. seems to be the bigger one. besides the power plant, traffic, household teaching and other industries contribute to it. to us live is considered one of the most polluted cities in europe, and measures of particularly meta in the air. awesome. and the unhealthy range during our stay. and the person who is deeply upset about absolution is, is that by kids who lives near the plant, he wants to show his health problems.
8:42 am
well, then i have 4 ruined ribs here. he tells us he has been sick for more than 20 years and suspects the reason is the plant because you don't have that on a food that may have. i last part of my long i had cancer, i had to break your low, says able to all because of the plant guaranteed on that. it's all because of the power plant product if there were, but i was born here. so what that will do when i was a kid, the snow was black in the seventy's that they wouldn't, etc. and now the rain is full of dust. settling up, he said it shows pictures of his surgery. out most of it is by now he has only half of his lung capacity. he says, is it doesn't want to plot to be closed, but the months better protects and he needs to take an array of medications and
8:43 am
only goes outside pollution level is low. well, definitely go to the doctors even recommended that i move away if i can move, but where to get at the local hospital pulmonology. so if you call me hostage is treating patients who live in the area, i show her the level of find particular meta often last days in the red area. mm hm . with up to 200. what does that mean for your help for my health, for everybody's health, your doorstep is not those that's much higher than the maximum for that size of particulates. and you come in e. uh, basically no amount of this is healthy for human soil. busby. and as a target, so the higher the concentration and the longer the exposure days, the more harmful and longer lasting, the consequences see gold. and most of it was being a so we had to go to auction. you find particularly the meta,
8:44 am
also called pm 2.5 can be to cancer cardiovascular, diseases, diabetes, and ultimately premature day. i want to know, is it possible to quantify how much harm is cost by the power plant and how much the other factors, such as traffic crossings, all the way to to name and put dr. couldn't remember exact. i cannot give you a percentage source because there is no data on anybody's unit item i looked at on a all day or stand when it comes to the area around the power plant to shave air pollution is higher than it is in other parts of the city, an economy of issues that are shown on echo aust, i'm even deal to be mind cannot. the power plant itself is definitely has a negative effect on air quality who's a single not i but it is also comfortable to other sources of pollution. ali assignment on a similar take on party unity. so don't game is what is a good daniel or nationally or clean? yet some locals perceived a power plant as the main culprit on the 6th street residents. really nice. we're
8:45 am
here to talk about the plant, and suddenly everyone wants to have their say. they tell us almost all of them have sick or deceased family members. me small or to we are being poisoned here. my mother died. this neighbor died, his son died. she had surgery and look at ease of situation on never going to go got another man stops his car to give his take on it. he is in favor of the coal power plant. why don't you cause a heated debates, thoughts to the unlimited. so and i said to me, they can't close the power plant now, and then we'll see a little this region and the people here depend on it. 10 minutes of the closing, it would mean the end of mining here, but i knew it. then what do i mean? it would mean job losses. and what would we end up with? poverty them, yes. and somebody from up there deciding when to open the end to close the pipes it gets to, i don't know, nowadays in a country that exports energy is
8:46 am
a rich country. they've got a email passing on the, on the but there's so much dust me these though they should use better filters so we can feel better and breathe easier to use. the water was especially during winter. you can breed me for suffocating. i've seen many doctors. they told me it's no surprise knowing where i live. well, we just want to be healthy about from that one of them. we walk around like zombies as we go zone b, hold on both, and that hits the governor has huge cold recess. last year, it exposed to the quote of the energy put used to economic benefit to locals. however, here seems limited. according to the company, only $352.00 of the employees from town management is not willing to give a tv interview. they respond to our questions via email, emphasizing that they comply with all legal requirements. they sent us their
8:47 am
emission data, but even went off again. don't specifically clarify emissions of p. m $2.00, find particular meta despite many cancer cases and a small study funded by an and g o, it's difficult to legally prove link between the power plant and people's sickness . i want to get answers from the public health institute of the content, but don't get clarity there either. the. no, honestly, certainly if i have research as needed to assess the impact energy producers have on people's how we, based on, but neither the state nor the canton dedicates enough financial resources for it to me can, is lot on to include to us. we ask for the money, but nobody wants to give it to us because the only study that has been done was by an environmental organization with anya. and they only had a small budget of the survey line. yeah. it seems like officially institutions and
8:48 am
government bodies are turning a blind eye for shifting to blame. the not is living a slow lice, sometimes to surface from, from scientists, that she has no anger against the coal power plant. still not, i love living here the while. that's what i know. she has made peace with the place where she lives will even go to the money unless it was at my age. you don't have big dreams. so bought a car just if i take the next step to walk up to stand up it's been more than 50 years since a power plant was built here. i lease was wondering how does situations but look for the next generation into a for me to drill
