1:32 pm
national ready didn't win overall, we can feel there's been a fraction that something has broken and that things will never be the same. just because now it's up to us to change things and prove that we can live together, samuel g, the phone, say the truth is the small city the eastern front is among those that help the far right gave more than 50 new seats with the party, keen on gaining more grant and future, malcolm is trying to get a head start bonding together with other most the women who feel they will be the 1st to lose out. if the far right gets to make a good on it's policy, promises like borrowing jewel citizens from key jobs and binding women from wearing all religious headscarf in public facilities altogether. when we hear them, it can feel like we're the problem. like we're not true french citizens when, in fact, frances, also us a hosting. the fonts has one of your, its largest michelin populations, and smoke guns says she started feeling less welcome. here years ago. in 2015,

the local right wing mayor reversed a decades old tradition of offering pork free meals and schools to take you to religious diets, arguing it's broke with francis secular constitution bought 12 son, my ne fuel voters, switching to the far right are no gambling on their rights at the local market. those who made the bit say they had many reasons to change. allegiance, additional small. it's linked to everything going on here. everything that's in the national relics program. rising prices, lower purchasing power. i can see it myself because customers now often order one dish for 2 people because it's really getting difficult. after years of not devoting this baker opted for the far right to make haste fury felt a little because he don't want to actually move to a new company. our current president takes us for idiots and they were only good for working on paying. and at some point we have just the stop, okay, what, it's not just immigration, i mean that's, but it's true that we're in
1:34 pm
a system where i don't want to be on my own anymore because we're unsafe. you kind of leave your car, you kind of go to the restaurants on the back home. you look at someone a bit strange, the on the jump on you who are getting good categories, almost what you think was the dispute. and he's not the only one interested by the far rights idea to send margaret to the back of the queue for public services page . we need to put the brakes on migration, really hit the brakes up and the experts say the debate here goes further back to france's history. as a former, colonizer seeking labor is to power an economic boom in the 2nd half of the 20th century. and it touches the very core of french society and to migrant right. 3 x 5 right for ethics is sort of a french specialty. a lot of that for 3 keys, things. these people should then be like, as that shouldn't be french on, they should end up the same. right. then we do when you're looking upside me, these sometimes have beens that for 3 generations. anyway, it says definitely
1:35 pm
a fight over defining what he's french and that's, that's a fight. no gun still feels cold up and she takes us to a plaque dedicated to her great uncle who was born here in general, to an old jerry and father before being killed by nazi occupiers. i don't often see he was shot during world war 2 right on this bridge, and the city decided to honor him here and the destination. no, no again says she has her own bottle ahead. she wants to organize local events like picnics and discussion groups to try and change the image of her community and to change people's minds before the next vote rules, right? you'll see the person helping me to one second. let me just let them do their elections again. in 2027, and i think we'll have the same thing. so we have to continue to mobilize in our neighborhoods and with young people lots of engagement. and if the worst really happened, we might have no choice but to leave for a better future elsewhere. if that's presence on not on any of the. yeah
1:36 pm
for no, she's staying put in her tone hoping don't delay it for once again. feel more like co are many doctors so not being yeah. all right, us with the health care sector, thousands of professionals have left the country in recent years due to low salaries, but working conditions and poor prospects. this has had a huge impact on the country's medical care system, which currently rang, so the very bottom in europe. that's one of the reasons why young doctor molig were duco, has decided to leave his country. but that's not an option for the i agree. she is determined to stay is that good? yeah. as long as you 1st question, the young doctors are asking is, when are you leaving? are you thinking about it or where are you going from them? yeah, that's something young doctors talk about right from the 1st semester. if he gets
1:37 pm
a by they agree is studying medicine, the university of toronto. she is satisfied with their choice of profession, great ambitions to help others find her prospects here are not great blog. i mean, the most facebook page for young doctors isn't good. the, the minimum is about $7.00 to $800.00 euros a month. and of course it is an adequate from the last, the diagnostic instruments and investment in hospitals is insufficient. so young doctors face many challenges with conditions in the hospitals that are downright scandalous or set down from the law that many young doctors see no other choice but to go abroad. the more doctors leave the fewer are left to practice in albany. we see the figures show an average of 5 doctors per
1:38 pm
$1000.00 residents in the european union and no bane. it's fewer than to the mtv and the lack of investment or any real effort to keep young people in albania has thrown the doors to the rest. of your a wide open and not just for doctors to be in by so it's a huge problem fixed that the area has to realize that it has to keep these young people in their own country on the mother's name. despite all the difficulties they agree intends to practice medicine in her home country a foot mile board. duke that does not keep plans to leave for germany. he's been preparing for months. those are going and i'll just say the, notice the best a, you know, terminal hospitals number among the best in europe. one is still doing, getting the bunyan how me during my studies here now being here, i was confronted with inadequate conditions, positive instructions and literature and libraries. you've got the uh, uh,
1:39 pm
come frontier, obtaining a work permit, wasn't easy. the aspiring position still has to pass one more language test. he plans to move in summer and then he'll see if he's up to the demands made on him in germany. but personally, he sees no other way to go. first name it a supplement in worship for your young doctor, and i'll be in here with little professional experience. it's almost impossible to start a career or even receive decent pay and medical training that measures up to your own expectations or post in the case i tried calling the them that and i've never met them into the situation is precarious. so in 2023 albanian prime minister eddie rama introduced a bill to effectively force young doctors to remain in albania. they agreed join the protest against the legislation calls for young doctors to be awarded their medical degree only after they have worked in obeying after 5 years for their part,
1:40 pm
medical students insist that improved working conditions not laws will keep young doctors in albania, the draft bill has been temporarily halted. they agree would be free to go abroad, but she intends to stay far. so you're already, all young doctors who stay in albania will have to struggle with life with themselves, with other people, with everything conceivable much that you're not having to struggle, but having a chance to work in albania, voluntarily and under fair conditions, that would be my wish nobody leaves albania, voluntarily. nobody goes off to germany or someplace else, just for fun. med this year. for some time now, boy duco also felt torn between his own country and promises of a brighter future abroad. my 1st choice was
1:41 pm
of course, albania. busy indeed that if the conditions and the opportunities were all equal, i choose to stay in albania. lucia life is very good here. uh, i grew up here with people. i belong to this country, but even the but i've come to a point in my life where i have to make a decision about my future years old. he may come back some day. he said shortly before getting on the plane. so it isn't good by forever. but it is farewell for now the. every time you uncork a bottle of wine, the chances are high that you are holding a put a use product in your hands. for to go is the biggest core producer in the world, much of which is harvested. it covers you near the capital of lisben. no machines are involved in this process all the course. troop is use our hand held axis to
1:42 pm
peel the core of the trunk. carlos herrera and his family has to be working in the cork, industry for generations. their raw material is in high demand to wide range of industries, and that provides quite a challenge for the cost rivers. at court harvesting in portugal, it takes a practice 10 like carlos they had us to harvest this valuable bark. every summer he repeats the peeling process, just like his father and grandfather before him, with the little ones, the color of the very exhausting, very hot. the harvest is hard work. we have to be careful because if we injured the tree, it will scar badly, obviously. so meant by to take this wound, for example, let's say here the tree no longer produces its bar for more for the luxury level one over the course. farming is a longstanding tradition here and important for the local economy to portugal is the world's largest court producer,
1:43 pm
the climate friendly and renewable material is in higher demand than ever. for 60 year old antonio shall say, my tails scurrying up the trees as no problem at all. even in a $35.00 degrees celsius heat. what i'm thinking is, i'm still, i've been doing this work every summer for 43 years. so for the middle of the season last 3 months, i think i can handle it. what i want to in the mean, it's no trouble for me to be up here for the pacifying the slow growing bark can only be harvested every 9 years. antonio can solve this is hannah from the u. n. a c forestry association says that's why the material is so special. when we look to a court coke, we see as our fast and our future always to hear from all the generations that it has made possible to be here today in the future because it protects the files. so if it has
1:44 pm
a lot of bio diversity harvested cort clark is sent to factories for further processing. it is heated press and as shown here, cut into small slices for champagne corks. millions per day. one of particles, quartz regions, and one of only a handful in the world is kusha at this expedition, the 1st time material is showcased in all its glory. while more change explains, there's a lot more to court, then corks. according to equity, the, the let them in the workers come directly from the bark, where equal squints meant to those or so that's, that's up and the rest of the court plank is then processed for installation material and then well, elements or corks made from the brand new ols or with admission buffers in for this a global dot at the university of a vital clean miguel,
1:45 pm
no vice is working on sustainable building materials to rise from cork. the material is light and elastic and could be an effective alternative to conventional synthetic materials, which although efficient are bad for the environment. if you've car came to as of these materials, which are not renewable and car is we are decreasing several orders of magnitude not only the amount of energy that we're required to produce got 20 times lower or more. and also the c o 2 emission associated with the car production. in addition, cork is a good insulator and fire resistant. the trees evolve their unique part to protect themselves against forest fires. court is used everywhere. even in nasa spacecraft . we're sure to have a lot to learn from nature. i think it's the best guidelines for our future because we, as humans, tend to use all sorts of different materials to combine them together very
1:46 pm
efficiently. but then we know, nowadays there is a huge problem connected with the recycled ability. all such materials back on the corks plantation. the harvest is now well under way. but carlos is worried, as fewer and fewer people are choosing to go into the profession. you have a physical level, i got the fluids and it's difficult to find people these data, somebody to find like working here just like my father before me the middle so i carry on general. it's good for me, but i just put one the out in the fresh air and a 5 i'm, i'm not at a desk, not a fit out of here. we have all the freedom we need to be put on. the bottom. i was like, you know, from business is booming. the court production cannot be stepped up indefinitely. it takes up to 40 years before the bar cause a young cork ok matures enough for harvest. when it comes to this climate friendly materials. good things certainly come to those who wait.
