to people, but doing justice remains visible to people in bangladesh. so what do you think is the best way to stop these foreign companies from sending their vessels to the ship right in north? let us on the comments and don't forget to subscribe to our channel. the hello and welcome to focus on europe with me live show attacks on press. freedom are increasing globally more than 100 journalists have lost their lives since january 2023. most of them in war zones like gaza and ukraine, journalists are also assaulted and murdered after reporting about corruption, organized crime, or state sponsored terrorism, even right here in europe. although europe

is consider the world's safest region for journalists to work. organizations like reporters without borders, have been warning about increased levels of violence. in the 2023 world press freedom index, grease squared, lowest among e. u members. investigative journalists here often put their lives at risk. stop cut a vice learned 1st hand how the fight for press. freedom and accountability can lead to grief loss not only for reporters families, but also for the media landscape as a whole. this place still makes her shudder. it's here that starts at cairo. bosses husband was shot dead. it was a friday afternoon, april 9th, 2021. a neighbor called and there'd been a shooting it seems to jackie was getting out of the car, but if he still removed his only cause approaching can never. so he stepped back onto the sidewalk. no stupid sundance except when he was shot. and this is where he

found his body lay right here. oh, really? sure. to show me it looked like an execution. your go, a scar of us, a respect to police reporter was a familiar face on television. yeah, professor is investigations focused on corruption within the greek police force and the relationships between big business politics and organized crime, recent and this yes. do i always felt it was dangerous. i've done what you kept telling me not to worry about that it got set up because it's likely that your ghost was killed for his investigations. the organization, reporters without border believes the killing was a clear attack on freedom of the press. in their ranking of press freedom worldwide, greece occupies the 100 and 7th place, the worst of all you countries. so he is asked the youngest, got about his mother who have not received answers by the greek authorities into the progress of the investigations. and this is one of the factors that have

heavily influenced the greasy is uh, uh, rounding at the entrance to the headquarters of the panel, lennox, federation of journalists and athens. this band or commemorates your go, scar of us. we need journalist town, cisco, congress, his specialty is white collar crime. he tells us how greece has secret service was involved in press freedom violations. we were inquiring some specific cases or 4 domestic legislation of the legislation. i think we government, who was more than hoping who's not facilitated to distinguish economy, crime, greece in several articles for the financial times co. congress criticize the fact that the new laws had made it virtually impossible to prosecute money laundering and tax evasion in greece. initially he said the government tried to pressure the newspaper and hold his report. at the same time talk has told us he himself was targeted by the secret service of the same period of time they,

while i was on this happens with a go based on the acknowledging big weekend, let's say head start, it looks pretty mental infections with the present the discoveries made by a co caucus and several other colleagues showed that journalists, the opposition leader and even government ministers, had been wire tapped. the spice software predator had been covertly installed on their smartphones. it was a nationwide scandal, the secret service. so me to talk is government was accused of wiretapping. the chief of staff and nephew, me to talk is, was dismissed. the doors come, try on what works for reporters, united and investigating team based in athens. the journalists here were among the 1st to report on the wiretapping scandal, the dismiss chief of staff. demetrius responded by suing of the journalists, continued to minutes, but it seems the same day he stepped down. he filed a lawsuit against us, don't get demetrius demanded over half

a 1000000 euros and damages from all defendants, not committed by greek or european standards. and this, some is a norm. according to reporters, united it's common practice in greece to use expensive lawsuits to silence independent journalists. but often they are the only ones who report abuses of power. another problem is that many large media groups are owned by a powerful business tycoon. most lead ship owners with a norm is economic and political clout, event callous, more or not. this owns a ship, a soccer club, and a media empire. double, those must have a media company, owned by a ship owner won't be reporting on him or on other ship owners. it means the journalists working their practice a lot of self censorship. if it's a little excessive, it will feel that awful media expert that report is without borders, say the threat to press freedom is systemic. the so called triangle of power. so you have like, uh, uh, media,

businessman and politics. it's not unique degree, but actually the fact that we have the whites up in scandal. we have the motive agenda and we have the slaps. we have the systemic, like, you know, ownership problems. basically, the combination of these factors make the ranking of grease stole. many journalists feel threatened in their work, so doris comes right down, often has to fight back his fear. so we don't want to let ourselves be afraid that would paralyze us. we'd stop recording and that's just what our attackers want to put them in a position with a form. it takes courage to fight for a free press. it. will my life ever be the same? that's a question that elizabeth often asks herself. as a ukrainian teenager, she wonders when she will be able to lead a care free life again, walking to school, hanging out with friends, going shopping without worrying about strikes or sirens. she lives in the war

battered city of hot of keys, and while the war is raging on, is a vegeta and her friends have found a place of refuge where they can forget the world outside and enjoy fun activities just like any other teenager. ready ready for a few hours each week they can forget the war outside. ready ready the rear of dancing school is one of the few projects for children and young people inside a war ravaged car keeps back straight and scratch full it's. it's a labor of love by dance teacher natalia. and we've great do the same thing with ira montana. it's embrace as you like. oh, after a few hours in the group, they feel much space off the date. the last name was to great and emotionally safe space should be provided simona french tier. it's all about switching off and having fun. the physical exertion relieves stress. most of the children are so

called internally displaced persons. they had to leave their towns and villages as the russian army approached, like 14 year old elizabeth to a cheese from the eastern village of kudos, even when she arrived in harkey. her family sheltered in a metro station for 4 months, but she was really stead the 1st few days for sure because there was these exclusions of what's available and it was so loud or the bombings down to just as we were leaving the metro station on metro stuff, so we stayed on the ground or, and didn't leave in the, for the after rushes full scale invasion in 2022. the russian army captured large parts of eastern ukraine. like use of it to enter family, tens of thousands of ukrainians, but west to war torn harkey, 2 years later,

they're still having to cope with air rates and missiles. elizabeth lives in a one bedroom apartment with her 3 siblings, her parents, a cousin and her grandmother. her mother of son is so relieved that her daughter can go out and dance. the most beautiful needs of a to is being done saying for bad 6 months, and the sons lending to box is also due to at least the 2 of them can have some sort of social life. oh no, no. it's all much better than it was last year for the child on the age because they was so withdrawn. i was really worried about them is on the go to. yeah, those are by all i should get of southern noise. in the meantime, war has become part of their daily lives. when the bombs exploded yesterday, i was listening to music about them on the sometimes you know, to me what lap band was that was from i tell her it was the naples or the choice of them to do to she was whatever those explosions from missile defense systems

disrupt their days. sometimes they even hear a missile striking is possible. i'm thinking about getting passports. i just didn't see a future for me. i could see it doesn't matter if it's so hard, physically and mentally, la, a large case of how this stuff range and that was the logical lloyd for a little even the young. we don't go back to lessons and they were rewrote in school the 1st time elizabeth came here. things weren't so easy. i remember i was really nervous about coming here because of the different groups have them to accept. it may seem as i was afraid, it would happen again, but they were very welcoming. and i left on seeing here for the me always from piano amy or should i was the training is intended to boost the youth self confidence. but above all, the dancing and movement can help them rebuild trust. when you put your hand here,

the was as natalia and her husband alexi demonstrate fully. yes. when i need my partner, he put some of his weight on me. so i bet full responsibility, but he is now blind and i can see he has to 1180 degrees to seen where i'm needing him. that able to do those of us really what it's important for dancing as a group or as a couple and for life in general. it teaches you to trust, lead and sense each other's presence with your body. it is also about overcoming your fear is just the saw the concept seems to be working the source of uh, i feel good when i'm done saying that i like it to not. and then when i come done, it feels like something's missing. jordan, because i and so you know, there's

a beta and the others continued to train at the child yet. and alexys dance cool. with music and movement. they can forget the war if only for a few hours. to at 1st glance, this might look like some kind of potato, but friends of everything or may know that it's a trussel. this particular one is worth hundreds of euros. andrea and mikaela, our brothers, and the whole life revolves around finding m, serving the price, the fun guy, and their hometown of monthly on the dirty, the tool. they have to stay one step ahead of the competition, which does not shy away from using every trick in the book to make a profit. but i will allow us to dig it out slowly. this is what me kaylee for low c and argo loved doing most. yeah. i get i 45. so that's what i'm saying. 101010. let's who are hunting for truck and evidently the white truffle

season is over. now. argo is sniffing out. it's little brother, cold beyond kettle, so that's what we got going on. yes, i'm one of you have to be careful not to damage white travels back in because it would cut the value of the precious funky and half the wouldn't again get tow truck . those are much cheaper youngel, a key low cost to around 300 euro, certain items and what were a key low of white travel, so you can get 7, even 10000 euro. so what i mean, they're much rare cases are all one domain. no, no, where is it to find it? my little i are going, well, i'm going to essentially was a child me, kelly is for. it's for truffles around his number and hometown of mantell, the only adobe yet to his dog. cargo has been at his side for 5 years. a good truffle hunting dog makes for better business, but it also comes with unexpected dangers to tell you that the way across the hall truffles are expensive regardless of the time. and again, there are some cruel people in the business to see trouble hunting as

a war because they'll stop at nothing wherever i didn't waste. they'll hide poison's meat balls where your car is parked and laced with strict name or snail voice. and it's the beginning of the bill. poison your dog over money. so no, i mean, and i kind of finish on so he stays under cover, which also stops snoops from discovering his secret spots. he keeps them all jotting down in a notebook and on his cell phone. it's a treasure map that the 38 year old wouldn't share with anyone. mckelly sells some of the treasures he finds, but the professional chef prepares most of them at cafe 7. he runs the level of gore. i'm a truffle restaurant along with his brother andre tega. did you find anything about that? that off i goes, how do what work was of course simply because you have to look at this being ghetto . yeah. for the where do you find it? forget it. you might be my brother, but i'm not telling you 100 kilometers away there. unlocking truffles,

big secrets at the headquarters of war bonnie and hard to fees travel empire. the company has cornered over 60 percent of the global travel market. for years scientists there have been trying to crack the genetic code of the precious function a day to guard their company secrets like a treasure. we're not allowed to film inside their labs. the results of their research are being put into practice at their start truffle land. even though that the guy, when we punting the plants, we bring the roots into contact with trussel sports. and then in this case, with a highly prized black truffle and young, we expose the plans to the sports, the wisdom, and a year after reporting. we have them check the box so that i'm not in without a problem. also an independent office confirmed whether the routes and the trump, the sports have developed this and b a c. i mean, i've been with the, let me go to if they have a degree, receive a certificate thing to like and we can sell that batch. we sort of with some of

them that are truffle land. currently plants over a $100000.00 trees, a year area selected for cultivation are equipped with sensors, providing data on sort moisture and regulating water supply. once they've grown the black triples, just need a dog to come and sniff the amount. that's what can data and sally do for a living. see needs your car while we connect from 11 in the morning until around 4 pm. unless all this fall so die, then we also allowed to 100 is the travel? was it time which is for sonya that is physically these cultivated travel smell just as strong as the other ones we call them up and that diamond yeah. mounting it in order to get him, it takes around 6 years for an area planted like this to bear fruits or rather truffles. with this method, the world's largest truffle company can guarantee its supply. demand is high and climate change has led to increase the scarcity, the head of the family business is farmers and land owners can also reap the

benefits of trouble cultivation, not that difficult to trust on. so he looks the most profitable products in the world. one heck to that is being used to grow truffle us can bring in 104000 fuel rose diode. yeah, a pro fee. so this black truffle weighs half a kilo in, is valued at 600 year olds. it will soon be sold to customers in the us waste of multiple will most likely sell this capital to someone in new york. there. it will end up in a mission in class restaurants, where it will be carried from table to table in grated onto the dishes. it's a beautiful, beautiful, delicious, expensive. and despite our high tech world, still being hunted by the same old symbiotic team humans. and don't want to talk about people with addictions, we often mean someone who has a problem with alcohol or illegal drugs. but there are millions of people who are

hooked on gambling and who lost control over how much time and money they spend in front of slot machines. or at the bedding offices. all to often medical mich in bosnia has witnessed how the hopes of winning big can destroy lives. that's why the psychologist has set out to help others break free from the grip of gambling. we can't use his real name, so we'll pull him elvia. we can only film him from behind, but even appearing on camera tool is a huge step for him to use l. they have the gambling addiction to go to the console gets started gradually as in schools. so the 15 or 20 years ago was this after a while i got into debt. i borrowed money from everyone, neighbors, relatives, friends. so i ruined my life. my parents lives, my 2 sisters,

my brother in laws and his kids. as soon as i ruined half my family, it's a vicious, i wouldn't wish it on any one was which it's daunted was thing go both me on, hence the convenience most popular game of chance. then he began betting on the races. there were casinos on spitting shops on every corner. here to do this is one of the bedding shops. i used to gamble in 2 hours or more every day until i had nothing level. so 2 hours, sometimes a whole day. at some point you hit rock bottom of the root, so nothing less cameras and nothing out inside the casino is not the state luxury company. finally agreed to give us an interview. they operate because he knows throughout the country, but they won't let us film people gambling. this scene is staged. the company doesn't like to talk about people of ruining their lives here. they say the

real problem is private competition. looks above the state lottery of bosnia and herzegovina is the only company in the whole country that's certified as a socially responsible casino operator. and me and my new stuff, none of our competitors are certified, was fantastic one quarter. we should encourage our competitors to also introduce certified social standards, and that way we could reduce the negative effects of gambling together. plus the negative impact of gambling is massive. in 2022 gambling generated almost 875000000 euros in the boston. yet pro at and t in the or just a sticky each adult. suppose nan news is around one month salary a year to gambling and that's a conservative estimate. the players are also getting younger, which is the machine. the problem is lack of enforcement was a much we have been for people under 18 are not allowed to value the use of them.

but every where you look sign is what depending shops are fully in the village of young people. just for the wants to put in lots experts claim that the typical gambler is a married father. between 30 and 45 years old. finding themselves not finding enough to feed the families. they see gambling as a wait around and sucky done every day i work with people facing this problem will be to my families in which gambling has become an addiction. let's con you. e. stuck with them to see every day i see lines ruined the families corner part for the people living with mental illness. throw the model as me for the start. i'm in town on plan. psychologist tomato ru, mitch estimates. there are 50000 people addicted to gambling in bosnia and herzegovina. he's the only doctor in the whole country volunteering to help them. hardly any one can afford treatment. sophia type problem. well,

it's the same problem everywhere and then it's an absolute catastrophe. next to flip up about the fact that this floor we don't have enough resources to get a handle on the problem. so the single single 2nd problem, and unfortunately, you might, the authorities here have no intention of changing that because the disabilities. now at least the advertisement. so gambling to be restricted room, it just started to self help group 14 years ago. it's still the only one in the whole country, what they need to know mostly every friday, a gambling addiction still holds a powerful stigma. everyone brings a family member along because the families are also in urgent need of support. elvia has been coming here every friday for 6 months. he says it was like being re bone ever since i met him. i've said 1st comes god

is in the doctor that says it all we have is before i couldn't sleep, i couldn't heat site was withdrawn. i couldn't really talk. it's not even with my own family. now everything is change. i've opened up, i can talk to anyone. i feel better. now this is, this is months what tanf and the temptation link is, but he's learn to deal with that. he has a good job and for the 1st time he says he's able to pick just some kind of feature these days. there is an app to track and regulate almost anything in the world around us. and the french town of stuff is the punch was near paris. authorities have decided to let the residents choose how much energy the community spends at night. through the use of technology, the town is able to substantially save costs. however, people here are divided over how useful this app really is. just one

tap lights up the street and says sheep on twice on the outskirts of paris. residents control the lanterns by app. dawn and nights used to be on all the time, but it was backs and we didn't think about the environment module, but now we've had any d's installed for a few years. now they do, do things are progressing. so you were in ecological communities and couldn't get a quarter where he could focus a little too far. i think it's practical to be able to get to save money. so and when you go home at night and the lights on things well like it's brand new meal, the way that he said to me, of the man who saw the light is olivia. it was it to an engineer working from home in normandy. it started as a bit of a game in his hometown, but now the app is available to around a $150000.00 people across france. community don't go to in my community and the surrounding area. people that started switching off the lanterns at 9 to to save electricity and costs. i thought it was good to rein in consumption more,

but at the same time as a local resident, i, one of the streets to be bright. and that was the deluxe you to improve. how do you manage you both come on presented. the retrofitting doesn't take much a receiver installed and the breaker box relays the signal sent from users phones and just like that as light on demand. this saves the district a quarter of its energy costs, and yet not everyone here has convinced me. thank you. and if i didn't think it's a good idea, is that the default setting is not necessary to know exactly what do you want me to come by. and switch on the night, so i'm not a big fan chosen with the city officials response is that they regularly consult with the police to ensure that environmental protection doesn't get in the way of protecting residents really and well that wraps up today's focus on year of thank you very much for watching. remember, you can always find more stories from across the continent on our social media
