the nice the nice get their home from their babies shuttle stops august 3rd on d w the, this is focus on your i'm larva lola, welcome. in france, a far right party that was long considered taboo, stood at the gates of power for the 1st time in decades. but victory for the national riley was blocked after a last ditch alliance of centrist and left his parties. now franz is facing a political deadlock with no route gaining an absolute majority. the fractured landscape is threatening to defend the divisions over immigration and identity.
1:31 pm
will these issues are shaping the political landscape in several european countries? the alternative for germany or a f d placed 2nd in new parliament elections, but they're anti immigration and xenophobic rhetoric has set off alarm bells. don't add up. horseman wants to stop their rise and found at the group granny's against the far right. the seniors recently collected at 33000 signatures to shut down the f d 's donation account and the bank complied. but in the village of duban, in the state of saxony, getting through to voters isn't as easy. it's an a f t stronghold and the grannies are struggling to have their voices heard. activists are taking to the streets for democracy and tolerance and the small section town of do that. and then the think of it all granny's against the right. i don't was i just as about all of the other people in the values we whole lot would be more about freedom quality,
1:32 pm
freedom of thought. i i get that. so i live in recent elections about 30 percent of the voters chose the a f d. a party who has section a branch has been designated as of right wing extremist by german, his domestic intelligence agency, the f. d less is out against other german parties, denies human cause, climate change and campaigns against l. g b t q rights, and refugees is coming to i can assure you that perkins may headscarf girls publicly supported dogs and other good for nothings will not secure our prosperity . economic growth and the social state thoughts the grand he is against the right or watching this right word. surge with great concern. the they want to talk to local ac voters. they've got coffee and cake and information about the right wing populace. that's via and palm if we can give out our information and materials to
1:33 pm
a few people so that later this evening some might think it over in private and possibly realize, oh, i didn't know that. that would be the greatest thing, was the 3 of those, the horsemen found at the group and do that. and after journalists reported on a right wing meeting near berlin, there a if the politicians right wing extremists and some conservative politicians are set to have planned reporting millions of immigrants. todd's that was the is talk me as in the fact that such a discussion happened was shocking and deeply disturbing english and convinced me something had to be done. some were supposed to come up to the group, started out with 18 female activists. now there are 41 they want to learn how to counter right when populist arguments at practice sessions like these. almost all of them are confronted with racism and extremism on
1:34 pm
a daily basis and workplaces sports clubs and elsewhere. i was short on this house, but that's why we should speak up in this moment time hopefully by the most frustrating thing for the active. this is when their neighbors see them as the problem and not right wing populism. of things they all, when i draw months of payments for the ground, these against the right, for instance, the campaigns were organizing and do. and i'm also fronted with like the sign in score. people turn away and act as it hits us to while the problem is still as if we are the ones making trouble here. here, here was but the grannies aren't giving up. there's too much at stake. this thing, so they offer mine to anchor. i want my grandchildren to grow up in the same 3
1:35 pm
tolerant democratic states that i did mention often. and now i'm so worried it's all going down the drain. again, there's food to store because of i left over the winter. but today, no a if the voters show up to chat with them at their stand, despite free coffee, t, n, k, none of the locals seem interested in decide to stay put inside. there's simply no dialogue between the grannies and do bins a if the voters will the granny's will be working over the summer to reach folders . had original elections in the stronghold of the ring yet. and saxony of norway is known for its majestic fjords. narrow and lips that were carved out by glaciers. each year they dress scores of tourists who arrive on crew ships to enjoy the sites . but they leave a huge environmental footprint behind. the guy around gra fjord is a world heritage site. and is one of norway's most visited to protect it,
1:36 pm
and norway has taken the bold decision to bad diesel fueled ships from 2026, captain frank goldman sachs and fears he will lose his livelihood. as 0 admissions vessels become the only ones allowed to sail in the waters, majestic mountains, getting up from the deep blue water. the feud landscape on norway's west coast is breath taking the beautiful. it's unique natural environment, attracting tourists from all over the world. many want to see the guy wrong, a fjord. most of all the trunk or boons sucks and make sure the giant cruise ships are able to dock for those of us living or the crew ships are our livelihood or whether we work in the harbor for sale. with a tour, a lot of people live from tourism and have no alternative names off to the stall. how they to know called tom, i'll see you. as soon as the ship has docked,
1:37 pm
the tourist pour into the village, shuffling between souvenir stores, restaurants, and scenic look out points. some $400000.00 crews tourists visit this place every year. but now nobody's government wants to drastically reduce their numbers and above all band pollution caused by marine diesel fuel. starting in 2026 ships that burn this type of fuel will no longer be allowed to dock in the harbors. the ships on the cross ships caused the world's highest emissions per passenger and travelled kilometers on the flip. some of your they pollute are fjords, so therefore they have to get that. and that's why all parties in the norwegian parliament have decided on a 0 emission policy post log on or inside of all new notes for the industry. this will be a huge challenge. since most crew ships still run on diesel. but there are exceptions
1:38 pm
like that. you read the docked in another port in the guy wrong, or if your mikaela front, you only believes that in mission free cruise is or cost of the in the engine room . the manager of the cruise operators shows off the company's pride and joy ship engines that run on liquefied natural gas l n, g b. except for because for the 1st time we use that if you will, which is not the temperature, but these actually refrigerated and these will open up the possibility for us to watch off in the future with the end of the few. as few as we can much lower are going things that small as see the 1st step of a, of a journey replacing marine diesel with l. n. g means a significant reduction in emissions. it also saves energy for the accommodation in facilities on board, since cabins and pools are heated using the ships engines. but there's still a long way to go before the control room can go without diesel altogether. when
1:39 pm
they're a very strong winds, the captain can switch systems at the touch of a button, one big engine, please click the switch. she would no longer neal n j, but it would go back to the diesel, which might give you a little bit more to code reaction plus the reaction signs on the 1st is the ultra modern vessel is the flagship. but the fleet, it costs around 1000000000 euros to build. still this technology doesn't go far enough for the norwegian government. people, if they want to come into our fjords they've back the wrong force because l n g as far from being a mission free to slip, it may be an improvement of 20 to 25 percent compared to other fossil fuels. and that's far too little. and you dial out 2030 until now. only electric power cruise ships like this one had been able to sail into the fjord without emitting any harmful exhaust. but the power in these huge batteries only lasts about 4 hours
1:40 pm
after that the ship relies on l. n. g, the 1st steps toward making cruise ships green there have already been taken. but the technology still has a long way to go and ignore waste government remains firm. got it wrong, it will see significantly fewer tourists. the port captain thinks that that will have a negative impact reset or else the i for on the we're aware that something has to be done for the environment, not in the but it's all happened very suddenly. and i can hardly imagine the consequences of pixel. so i fear for the lively to those of us living in these few or that's good and all get here in tulsa boarding, the boarding, if you were on the board captain, and many residents are there for hoping for a transition period so that tourists can continue visiting the guy wrong, a few words by ship for years to come. this is
1:41 pm
tail nieto, a parish priest who lives in his spanish country side. it may sound like a tranquil life. the tale is in high demand. he attends to more than 40 churches in the region of zamora. it's one of many places where the population has plummeted over the past decades. it's a phenomenon known as empty spain. but tell you when a group of youngsters are trying to break new life into rural areas. tale, the joe, in his handful of keys are on their way to one of the 43 churches. he serves the parish priest. them at least stay in the spanish province of similar i drive 50000 kilometers a year. gotcha. i mean, as far as a necessity for recreation to the is, is this how do you see this is one of the villages in his parish, 40 residents a graveyard and a church, a photographer wants to take some interior shots. the tail schedule is full and he
1:42 pm
has no time to stare. he moved to at least stay at 29 years ago from the provincial capital of tamora by choice. you could open that up. what has it been? any people in speech? i think that the rural areas are less important. after a few years here, someone asked me when i would be promoted if i were to finally be sent to the city in the literally didn't understand that i came here because i wanted to be sure to for them. we want to get more likely that but then yeah, can you spell out or give us that i can tell gets the church key to an elderly couples that the photographer can take his pictures, seniors like them keep the village of the lives of many young people move away. that is it almost everything used to be more humane. right now we're alone and need help with is the, the villages are emptying out. so tales. mission goes far beyond the religious
1:43 pm
as what was on this, i feel the create challenge as it must restore dignity and quality of life regardless of each something that they need. we also need to feel young people that they can have a trickier on the country side, getting and portal support. it really wasn't going so they be that, you know, rather not as 15 kilometers away. 54 year old fathered yet to meet with some young catholics. they come together from the nearby villages to pray and discuss problems . they loved the region, but many move away and not just for training and education. if that's the tower in the moral emigrating. there are so few of us and young people want to be with people road age guy, a 10 days or so is the place. that's why we're here. these thing you can count on me, k o tries to boost their self esteem with activities like this one
1:44 pm
says, i want the people to feel more reachable for me that understand that living in the countryside is worthwhile though, because how do you? yes, i feel move away. i'm only thing the distance and to learn a little, but maybe they'll come back. when do you go to this village or another one to see what else you, what i said, i'll go in the foot of the harsh reality is the jobs and prospects are few potatoes here, opportunities for he would not keep up the struggle maybe as everything is taken out the door so you have to be idealistic without mon pico after all, or the reason for the dwindling numbers here that my, that after the problems that come with them to the people have the power to fix the problem yourself. comparable kind of what assume i know is that will consume one of whether it's, i mean, quarter case at least the roads are good and the internet works. meetings are being held online, like the one with us citizens initiative working for a functioning health care system for many of the state runs,
1:45 pm
enters are closed. they want to change that from some of the same as maybe cause that's the soonest that if the doctors here know clinics could reopen to perform 30th is done, would entice smoke people for special here that seems like a but above all, those who stayed would have propaganda again, this could be nothing. they have a right to doctors. i mean individual, the evening j o is celebrating mass and marty on is on his own. he simply can't manage the services of all 43 churches, but he is assisted by other priests. and the people here will not give up so easily as we have to give them a for the most low. you may not have enough firewood eyes, but we keep the embers alive to spread hope. and then you'll see on, if there's no one left click, the last one to turn the light. we're going to do it as long as someone still lives here and you know, we need at least a glimmer. i've got to get him because he mounted in the shop of desperate outside
1:46 pm
positive details. the city priest who came to the country wants to stay. he's going against the trend. and many here hope more will follow his example. the leaning tower of pisa is world famous, but italy is home to 2 other structures that are off kilter. they are located in the heart of bologna as old city center, the towers of gary's end, and as the nellie dates back to the medieval times, and their age is showing, despite efforts by engineers to straighten them out, the towers keep moving an official sphere. they could collapse, it's hoped a new restoration project will help them find their footing once and for all. to 900 year old towers, a stand slanted in the city of bologna. they've always been anything but straight. the larger one, tony, as the natalie is 97 meters tall. it's smaller siblings. they've got these in the
1:47 pm
tower tops out at just 48 meters and leaned sharply. now there is real concern. the towers may collapse up with us, and such locals have a bad feeling about it. it's really painful to see such an important historic monument in such a poor condition with someone you know, if you read the body, i've lived here many years. and over the course of time, i've seen the tower tilting further and further it's a really important symbol of fun you we help with will stay that way and won't have to be torn down the step to ensure that doesn't happen, the city council has even brought 70 year old engineer and that fail opportunity out of retirement. the expert on both towers. she leads the restoration committee. she's headed to the construction site together with her colleague phillip all for allow me brody knows there are 2 main reasons why the tower is thinking.
1:48 pm
it's suffering from a disease, it's had since birth. it was so bad that a 100 years after its construction was started. when it reached a height of 60 made 12 meters, had to be taken off because it was already starting to lean muscle. yeah. and if it goes since then, it's selling a foundation that supports the $4000.00 ton tower, has continued to crumble. the area around the towers has been cordoned off, and norm is containers were set up right in the center of the old town homes. i never assigned to the committee recommended, we set up this double stack of containers tissue. they've been studying the towers for years. settlement said it did. we see this is how we're attempting to protect the surrounding buildings still. and the people who continue to pass by here take on seeing what that honestly thought alice,
1:49 pm
the concrete anchors hold the containers down, steal nets, or to be added to protect the church. and the bigger tower. the city's historic center has become a permanent construction site. there have been rescue attempts before during the 19 ninety's engineers used on here in rings to secure the tower. and in 2021, the foundation was reinforced with steel cables to prevent further cracks. oh boy boy. and then we have to observe the structures here and read it here. we end here to sack off a little bit sold their gaps in the wall sickness. he got a goat. that was the burden transferred from the walls above has cost an overload. so the base is less resistant until recently, the tower had always tilted towards the east, but that changed in may. 2023. suddenly the pendulum showed 20 goodies and was
1:50 pm
leaning towards the northwest 2. nobody really knows why this is where the pendulum is. is the most visible instruments in the tower. so me tie it starts at the tip and hangs down to here is what i prefer to measure. just the towers movement. i mean, thoughts are measurements system and shows how much is moving in the system. i think these are what i get to that community. point us to tower is the moment, sir, and it's always been a moment to that have to offer. there are also acoustical and optical sensors as well as a gpi system at the top of the tower. it is likely the most monitored monument in italy think what's the main salt? so know, most of the state of the tower is very closely observed. at least we continually check data from the sensors, which deliver information on every movement of the tower in real time. to speak, one thing is the planned reinforcing and renovation work is expected to cost
1:51 pm
20000000 euros and continue for a decade to keep the tower standing for the next to 900 years. to moving into a retirement home is a step that's often rocks with emotions, but not for bill wall. he loves his care facility in western england. it's an old folks home with a nursery allowing seniors and children to spend their days side by side. it's giving the elderly a new lease on life, and the kids a chance to learn from their elders. having fun is easy when this thing in the senior citizens rest of the sounds can home belong, chesta, elderly people, to mention patients and kindergarten. children lived together. there's children who sold people of the quality people all together. we will get
1:52 pm
together. i think it is absolutely fantastic. i called a my god to be the being. wilton has at least as much fun playing as the children do. he used to be a truck driver at 80 full t, now needs assistance, and that's been living in this in to generational community for 2 years to visual. go over our v. that's easy, always to take a trip. will piece fail with jim hughes used to be an engineer. he's showing 3 year olds, jacob, how to handle the trail. these joint activities, optional for young adult and 9th joyce aist and takes part as often
1:53 pm
as she can. what's the weight we come down and that's just the don't seem to enjoy clean. this. me see here. the guiding principle here is that know who should feel isolated. many are on a 1st name basis. field residence not also nothing, lee called friend friends. i'm very happy to share some of that life experiences with the children at the end, and they just knew how to be in the same company to come to stay on the line. i think she's getting along with the residents and said as it's so fast and big thing as well as the communication skills for them to think towards them as well. so what,
1:54 pm
how she actually treats takes them from the get to see the front of the project is 2 years old. but it took several years to plan it's intergenerational concept is new to person. the projects found as hope that community will serve as an inspiration to office. we look to influence on we'll to improve this in australia and, and kind of working with the university on, on models in china. because everybody is, is, notice that there is a need for this bill who spends each afternoon with the kids. they call him abil stuff. say that children to come when he was that we knew it with, with believe david with what. but what we've seen in the last,
1:55 pm
almost 2 years now as far exceeded our expectations in terms of relationships. in terms of george, i'm the last thought we have was one see created for success is that the elderly, as the kids saw, trusted to do quite a bit such as going for walks together. little cheer of children should be getting it. sadly, it's nature every day with the children is a new beginning for e and a and a good day. probably don't go where you don't, don't do whether it's a direct don't you go away. you did like. 2 that's all from is this, we get focus on your you can watch more of our stories online on our website at cdw dot com. thanks for your company. bye. for now. the,
