in europe, in elections as coalition is projected to come 2nd. well behind marine la pens far right. national rally. and that's all the news for now. of next our magazine global us looks at links between client protection and democracy. i'm a co, fairly from all of us here in berlin. thank you so much for your company today. the david brooks together by chance, and they root in the early ninety's, an independent free woman at the mother of 10, in a strict patriarchy the sooner they can, they not assess team dogs has been of saving the lives of how dia and hit dorsey's edison. this is lines that have been shaped by debris, tennessee of rule, and religious constraint. what he's telling me

with the katia and his daughters stuff, june 22nd on d w. the on the moves coworkers from vietnam. the on the streets, gemini, is eustace pushing for change. the end of the coast, toxic ship rags in bangladesh, the

a thousands of ship transport goods sends much and dice around the world. that's when that time is over. 80 percent of them end up as wrecks on the coasts of southern asia. poisoning people on the environment to to go is home to the world's 2nd largest ship graveyard. should have does a 33 year old fisherman spend half of his life catching fish along the she took 100 coastline of bangladesh. but recently just noticed a troubling change in the marine eco system. it will have one on the last 8 of the area that was much more associated with the one of the boat would be full. but as soon as i go now we've been 20, don't 13, not see less fish on that one. and they are the fishermen quitting their jobs, they're just out of the bathroom and even left the area are selling their properties to be paid. that's less than about these. a shallow water

fisherman does claims the broken up ships along the shore for polluting water and depleting fish populations. the nearby beached vessels were spilling oil and other waste into the surf. the research shows that up to 10 percent of giant ships weight is made up of especially those heavy metals, oil, and other toxic substances. due to poor management and these yards. the toxic material ends up in the environment. the she took on is the 2nd largest city in bangladesh. the northwestern part of this port city currently is home to 40 ship breaking guards, spending approximately 20 kilometers along the coast. in the year 2022 alone to point 9000000 tons of scrap from ships were dismantled in these yards.

the marine bio diversity research or pro barbara well has collected settlement and water samples from around the ship breaking area. a lot has changed in the last years he says to be able to hear by uh, the last 20 years alone, efficient men along to the guns i should according to the coast line. last 25 species of fish. yeah. tongue. uh, could a functioned to another one of the most important elements of marine bio diversity, macro events, those like smells, an oyster are almost extinct on this coastline. i totally get to talk to a guy and she to come to town near the shipyard to season ship breakers, want to share their experiences anonymously. the rather

because of the international collections of workers, are hesitant to report issues to international authorities because they fear losing their jobs. if ship owner authorities want to become aware of their actions. and while you can set a new phone calls or somebody to be trying to ship ranking on the east coast is a very dangerous job. and workers often suffer accidents. in 2022 alone and g o's reported at least 10 deaths and 33 injuries long term health issues are a chronic problem for many workers. the, for, i was my time in the shipyards, i've been plagued by a persistent headache the washer. i also suffer from occasional loss through a blockage that hinders my breathing a different day. however, my primary concern remains the chronic headink. i'm thrown out environmental officials and should have gone are starting to look at the pollution and environmental harm from ship breaking yards. deputy director fired was

armoire, says he has find some ship yard seeking it, but he said more long term research was needed to determine the extent of environmental affects. the stand up doesn't improve in the research indicates hyphens, heavy, mental concentrations and soils and nearby sediment. and others, we see these have seats into the aquatic ecosystem, which it out over to further investigation is required to determine the extent of heavy metal deposits. if anyone else say there is one of her son and environmental lawyer and active, this feels that the government is not responding properly to the hazards of ship breaking force. human health, which is what the ship breaking industry on people experiencing. poverty is not employment, but a fiction like

a system system kind of stuff. and that's what the process and that's across the monitoring everything seems village only on page to address the health and environmental risks of ship ranking. the european union created the ship breaking recycling regulation, or e u. s r r in 2013. according to this policy, no european flag chips can be broken outside certified green yards. there are no shipyards in south asia on that list, as there are no health and environmental safeguards in place. but the international n g o ship breaking platform has reported instances of european flag ships continuing to arrive in bangladesh and other south asian ship breaking yards flouting this regulation. nickel, i'm really nervous from the n g o says he knows of european origin ships being broken up in bangladesh. i mean, it might be then very strong expression, but i mean, for the last 4 decades we read have been witnessing

a tragic expectation perpetrated by a wealthy elite mostly based in, in the more developed part of the world than if you want. this is a sort of a new form of colonialism and toxic one. these vessels evade e u regulations by being sold through 3rd parties or cash buyers before being shipped to countries like bangladesh, india and pockets done the ships change their flags to avoid compliance. dodge avella, obtain documents indicating several vessels built locations and dates. many locked complete ownership information before the flag change. a m d holtzie. an example from a december 2021 clearance application was listed as being flagged from calmer ross during the application. however, it was previously named hunter, yes. owned by a polar shipping company and flew the flag of malta,

another european country to either affect the other shipping companies based in the global north, a new or a for instance, when they have to, we legally exploit the ship for breaking to south asia. the, the open, these were present fox and lied to authorities about the final destination of the best. so as a way to avoid being codes. so is there a way to do to fix on these? uh yes, legal loopholes needs to be fixed and legislation needs to be enforced properly. the ship breaking industry makes a significant contribution to bangladesh as economy supplying steel and offering employment to for workers. bangladesh has recently ratified the hong kong convention unsafe ship recycling, making it the 2nd south asian nation to do so. after india, the backend dot com, environmental acted as say to her son is not happy with any provisions beaching

under the hong kong convention to her. it amounts to green washing the country, including no way pleasures, bangladesh, design, hong kong convention which commit speaching, however with new way and now beaching within its borders. bank issues government for the heat, european standards. differentiation in certain cases is not acceptable. for instance, when considering a quantity of items of an american a know different from those of citizens of other nations, hence differentiating standards based on that finality is untenable. the above ships are essential to global commerce and recycling. over solves into valuable scrap material, will remain a source of income. but international regulations have yet to provide a solution for improving the environmental damage in bangladesh caused by his toxic industry the

they take to the streets, the climate protections for democracy. quote, to protest against will and racism. young people want to change. many fear for the future and to mom's that that government stop listening, the berlin at the end of may, thousands of young people are demonstrating for more climate protection with the youth organization fridays for future. on this specific friday, 100000 people take part across germany, including 19 year old samara gun door. the demonstration has been in full swing since about 12 noon and were now walking loudly through the government district,

climate protection and democracy only work hand in hand. samira and the others feel that they are not being heard by those in power that their interests are not adequately represented. so they want to help shape democracy. a new study shows that many young people in europe believe democracy is in danger. all the more reason for samira to get involved. she's not happy with the political situation. the climate crisis motivated her to become politically active. she's been involved with fridays for future for 5 years now. since she was 14 these days, she not only participated but also organize his protest. this park and berlin's trip to district special significance for her. the book of the island of youth behind the bridge is a place i used to go with my friends to chill. it's where i became more politicized, to have a climate protection is no picnic. that's what's written on the post or that she made for the protest. it all began back when she was in school. that was when i

went with my class to my 1st demonstration because my teachers motivated me, then i realized how extreme climate changes. and then we really have to do something. i still feel that way. so i'm on the streets with fridays for future. for john arrow, it also began with protests. the 23 year old has been involved with the green party for 3 years. instead of complaining about things, he didn't like. he decided he needed to take action. he wanted to make a difference in his neighborhood and berlin's punk of district for john arrow. so democracy means getting involved this year. he's standing for election in his district for the 1st time. you mentioned this on young people, especially because they're starting to build a life. if you listen to them, you'd realize that their ideas are very similar to the ideas that older people have to be good for politics at all levels to bring them together and compare the ideas i need as a green candidate. he doesn't have it easy in his district time and again,

he says he's received insults, threats, or attacks. arrows grand parents came to germany from turkey decades ago. he has a lot of experience with racism, which is also why he stands up for people with a migration background harvest to start to get help. it's really important that people are heard and send him and represent any affinity, especially if i'm them, which is not the case for me. but especially if they have a visible history of migration. so it's racism is in a phobia, are totally present in this society. and those with the different skin color experience racism every day. it's super important that this be made public and that people realize it's not ok. and he also went into politics because he's concerned about the future of his generation in these times of war and climate crisis. especially with regard to climate change. young people need a perspective of people who represent them one to the other and with young people with everything that faces them are not represented at all. and especially in

european calling to have starting with the topic of climate change things. and so the young have to somehow bring all of these issues into politics is they are much more affected by them because they will hopefully see on the planet for a very long time. i hope that the fridays for future movement has already achieved a lot. clement protection has long been one of the top issues on the political agenda. samira believes all the effort has been worth it. yeah, i've actually given up a lot of my free time. a lot of my hobbies for 2019 was a different time when people weren't really that aware of the climate crisis. and we managed to get the climate discussion going. today we're standing here with so many people, and i'm just very, very grateful that everyone is prepared to protest. whether as demonstrators on the streets or actively involved in politics, john a root, some your a gun, doors and other protesters have already made a difference. they believe that those who want to protect democracy need to give

young people a louder voice in the future. if your elderly old become ill, life can feel very worrying. it doesn't help that there's a world wide shortage of kind of give us what's the solution? hi, how are you today? especially you have severe pain. well, just a little show him to the dock is 21 and has been learning german for 6 months now together with her classmates in, in a few months, they'll need these language skills. they want to train us health care workers in germany. get well soon. see you next week.

but he also know some of the challenges fell face my mind on office. and i think it's important to have a good knowledge of the language. so know a bit about german culture and it also depends where in germany you're going because of the different dialect will select of in hanover for example, the german has spoken quite clearly enough, which is different to where i come from and lower bavaria or an east freeze you were the guy likes are often very strong, then not being able to understand people, it 1st can make working in a retirement home, very challenging the explanation. sophistic, many of the trainees have never left vietnam. most of them grew up in rural areas with rice fields and fish. ponds like lock. the knots mother also only knows germany from stories. a relative of hers lives in heidelberg. live here in the village is very basic. nox mother believes her daughter will have more opportunities and a higher income manager in the home and not herself wants her family to benefit from her decision will pay the i plan to divide up my salary. i'll need to keep one

pump for my daily expenses in gemini plus the best of savings for myself. and i'll send my family in vietnam. a said if my earnings on pricing so that it was not wish to go to germany, but they decided on it together. they don't have much time left to cook together anymore. as knock departure is nearing. so they prepare her favorite dish together, one more time salary salad with beef and pran knocks mother is $52.00, her father is already deceased knox. education in germany is like winning the lottery. even if it means they'll be separated. i won't be a t. i'm still young. she doesn't have to worry about me. and when i'm old, she'll have a good income and a secure life in gemini. and so she'll be able to support me from a song. golf o m good. lemme not fucking yet. i mean that is, i've been deployed the emergency room at the local hospital

knock is getting practical experience here, which will need to be able to participate in the program. so it's a prerequisite to getting the training sheets in germany. she sees her move as a positive thing, people in her profession or needed everywhere, and compassion is a universal good. i wish you all the best for gemini and that everyone that likes and appreciates you as much as we do. can you make us proud here in vietnam? so there's a lot of excitement and henry today, knock and her classmates will be able to ask a former participants in the course how she's doing in germany. 36 year old hutch yvonne has been in this month for 3 years now and just completed her nursing exam. they all want to know, what is it like in germany? and how did people treat you in the barn,

find her colleagues nice and always helpful. even when it's stressful on the ward, the 3 learned that it wasn't easy for vine to discover that care workers in germany are also responsible for washing the patients and their personal hygiene. it's different in vietnam and something they'll have to get used to here in her office and henry b i to dip my works on behalf of german clinics and care facilities that are looking to employ care workers. so far. she's placed almost 400 young people in germany, exciting df munoz. they provide support during the 1st few months in germany when it comes to dealing with the authorities and when they feel homesick. so we make sure they have people to talk to them and check that the cooperation with a new employer is going well of whether they return to the country of origin down the line is always an individual decision entitled hi.

should we study together this year, training opportunities await them in russ dog caught bush and s, and for 3 years they alternated between the vocational school and the hospital or nursing home. knock has made new friends. and how do i feel the same way? she does excited enthusiast a little so nervous. i think the beginning will be difficult for us. all right. the start of such a journey is the biggest challenge. there was so many questions about when our language skills be enough, will we be able to settle in and how will the german people receive them for knock and her friends meeting their country is a huge step. but they believe they can make any place home where they feel comfortable. and as of august, that will be germany. the
