so in the clouds it, it's time and then when generation mash watch now dw documentary, the hello and welcome to this week's edition of focus on europe is great to have you with us. border protection to prevent illegal immigration has been a huge challenge and the european union in recent years. the situation is currently coming to a head on the border between the arrows and poland, poland, and e. u. member states as seen a dramatic rise of illegal crossings in recent months. below ruth has done little to discourage migrants from attempting to enter the neighboring states. tensions

arising on the pole beside human rights activists. alexander affairs, and the guys concerned about the well being of refugees. many have died in the past years trying to make it's to po, but others like border guides me. hi, buddha support district. the board of policies announced by the published government yesterday about the whole border of the polish border guard keeps watch on the frontier with bella luce sloth, a few years ago this paved road led straight into belarus and that there was no, it's closed as an external border of the e. u. it has to be secured against illegal immigration, among other things. buddha and his fellow border guards controlled from migrants waiting for their chance to enter the u. v. of the forest on the television side. what seen anyone, suspicions of that? yeah, yeah, which guy attorney local, sorry. so let's hope it stays that way. hold of the polish government describes

illegal migration of hybrid warfare. it is accused bella, bruce and russia, have deliberately funnelling migrants from asia and africa to the polish border. as a way of pressuring the west, nearly all of them have russian visas. a new migration which has taken shape here, holdings, previous government headed by the law and just this party, installed a barrier along some a 180 kilometer is at the border. even so the polish border guard has recorded over 25 years into attempt to the legal crossing so far this year. many more than the year before. yeah, that's what i'd say for all the number of attempts has arisen to several 100 per day for the budget. and the attempts have become increasingly aggressive, assuming that our officers and soldiers had been injured underground pool for our vehicles and equipment had been damaged too. and ultimately, a tragedy occurred to us from the cost of $1.00 of our own and was killed in a year. that's not. border guards are increasingly being attacked through the

barrier. in early june, a polish soldier died of stab wounds inflicted by mick, 5th, spear, the polish government under donald tusk. and next, it would reactivate a buffer zone, up to 2 kilometers white in some areas along the border. nobody can enter without permission. thank you so much. these are not refugees. the media were and fewer of them are families in need of assistance. i'm just going to ship out the guy who left. i'm in virginia, 80 percent of cases. we are dealing with organized groups of young men, age 18 to 30, who are very violent to going to be a cover. but if i get a fitness neither a stricter border policy nor a new government has really changed the situation. if anything it's only gotten worse, it's alexandra christian of sca. she's part of an 8 organization task with finding migrant steep in the forest along the bellows. in frontier before vigilante groups for the border guard get to them. student also look for the stuff to come up with

an eye on the people we encounter. tell us they've been subjected to even worse, even more cruel and ruthless violence. not just on the belly roots inside, but on the polar side to the on the tell us they were beaten, kicked, thrown to the ground, and handcuffed. one, okay, done. come, you can move out of the more pressing part of the find them for the final question . no sco shows us videos of refugees and other volunteers regularly encounter here in the forest. some are starving or injured. the volunteers take care of them and advise them to apply for asylum in poland. if they don't, they can legally be sent back to the room. but not all refugees are given the chance to apply it in the bottom of the bush. what's the call? many of the people in the forest to say they intend to apply for protection and also see it to the border guard officers in our presence to end up contacting us a few days later from bell evers platform. so they said they were forced to sign a document which they did not understand,

but stated that they would not seek protection in poland. because when you come over and explore, she'll be that's all kind of pasta. many of these are allegedly illegal push backs, the border guard denies involvement, videos circulating online, allegedly show polish, border guards carrying seemingly unconscious people through a small gate in the battery or to the valid lucy inside. there's been hardly any official response. this border area is especially dangerous for refugees. alexandra creation of sca shows us the grieves of people who died in the be all of the edge of forest. this is our goal for to do any of those. most of these people are fleeing mortal danger in their home country, so the dream of a normal peaceful life. and instead wind up in a place where their lives are in just as much danger. natania. this policy violation means that rather than finding peace and safety, these people lose their lives for the folder to donald tusk. promise more humane refugee policies in his election campaign. christian notes go,

says he hasn't kept through his promises. border guard me help. laura says that separate minutes coming go, but the border will always be protecting because it's secret binder injury like this in mir cut on a finger can be extremely dangerous. blatt's poisoning or sips is one of the most common conditions and causes of death worldwide. because phipps is often times not immediately identified well, you will, time is lost a lake diagnosis in germany, almost costs deal winterly in his life. after the infection, he lost large force of his arms and legs. now he's trying to adapt to his new normal while maintaining the positive mindset. operating an electric wheelchair. it works well. that deal could still alive as a small miracle, peoples and then induced coma for 16 days and underwent 8 surgeries. 4 months it

was, i'm certain whether he would survive. he now attend sessions at this clinic, to train his extremely weakened body is not mine that will pave when i arrived here after my operation, my body was so weak and my muscles so atrophied. i could only lift my head and say, you don't mind cop team content to see i'm come. the 1st thing i had to do was get fits again. rebuild my body off to rebuild my muscles on so that i could do basic things of everyday life. again, seems like brushing my teeth for just getting out of bed and into my wheelchair for that move out of state. also that's from that in the most to the full started so innocent. he was here. so that's what happened was i caught myself in an old here mattress and the seller. um, this one, it was a very, very small cottage on my left index finger, which became infected. um and send it out. comes it turned into a strip to cockle infection, which ultimately triggered steps saw that i can,

you can see the small, small cot here. and that then developed into a blister over night, like to line up the other end. because the inspection was caused by mouse droppings on the mattress. soon gale was in severe pain, had a fever. i'm shortness of breath to doctors, told him the infection was homeless. the ox, the volume, because he was finally admitted to a hospital where he suffered septic shock. he had to be placed in and induced coma during the infection. his body diverted most of his oxygen to his vital organs. the brain to halt and the longs. it's done is this because of the large parts of both his arms and legs didn't receive enough blood peanuts, and this is what ultimately led to him needing the amputation as what he had to have. it was a really serious case and he has actually all 5 professional guides among the oaks, attending physician at the rehabilitation clinic. his major concern early on was

that the residual limbs and the skin protecting the fuel properly. only then was it possible for guild to be fitted with pros, dc's substance is one of the most common diseases worldwide affecting around 50000000 people every year. most deaths could be avoided with the correct diagnosis and proper treatment. and for often long steps, this is the severe inflammation of the body. it's treated by bacteria entering the bloodstream via an injury, for example, steps as a cause when the immune system over reacts damaging the body instead of fighting the infection left on checked is a tax vital organs which start to fail. this is exactly what makes it so dangerous . plus, i know this is i was completely unaware of what steps this is what it can lead to in the end that somebody will help me. i've only learned recently how bad such as can be reached and a zip. this house can come in most cases, at least

a desk because it does not recognize properly. and so had obvious in that respect, i was very lucky to survive that and i just still be sitting here today that can come saw come on in the whole space just for us. it's once a month. so we find a good place to practice standing up gale oaks, therapist costs schmidt, doesn't just give him practical tips. he's a cheerleader too. he knew gail would need both psychological and physical help. so that's very nice. well done. chip, i didn't help. so it's not worked out well. yes it does. it all on your own lineup . i think it in on the side. it does say, i think what makes them different is that he doesn't look back. he only looks a head at i think he realized how things were going for him a few months ago that he had no alternative finding more not. and so i was just

concerned to set my sense is he seems to have woken up, looked ahead and said, well there's no going back now. and if he told himself, look, i was lucky, i'm still alive and can now prepare myself for a new life and lose by the cream. if i can no longer do once i, once i have to one to do, i can do things. exploited was just kind of happy, profit fits 50, feels good, and it was a no pressure points, no pain. nice. every step takes enormous effort both physically and mentally. one day deal been telling hopes to be able to work again before the steps as he was a marketing team leader out of medium sized company, consisting of a work is a very important part of my life, is integral. it's good to talk to my old life. is this part of my new like to i'm 40 years old and 50. i couldn't imagine just sitting at home from now on and taking early retirement. and i feel strange again just feels wrong. coolants on, on the thoughts off me sign i one to buy,

go if you did it so that was the feel free to didn't crush your hand today. no standing will king deal wants to reclaim as much of his old life as possible, despair and doubts all his constant companions. to escape see that, you know, that i have many inner demons, new data back to us that i couldn't find that are these when i could just scream at the wall of mine and read us as everyone can imagine. what it's like on this day that there are certain questions i simply shouldn't ask myself right now, and this has to must be the fargo questions like why me, why not someone else on the above all is the question. who's to blame naturally? defend or despite these are the 2 most important questions that i try to ignore all the time because there is no answer to them and they don't get me anywhere either on the self. and so i don't think off to 6 months feel good in telling is allowed

to leave the clinic. he is happy to be back in his home and benefit and tries to apply which he has learned during his rehabilitation feed escape. he just got a lot is possible involved, a lot is no longer possible. unfortunately, a lot simply has to be planned with the help of family members when it starts with getting one shot at the fridge and the font. if i have to use my wheelchair to get food stuff and then be able to get to top to bottom. and there's difficulties in the morning to sort of using toothpaste when brushing my teeth. the tooth brush can't be too far away so that i can still reach it. this is part of everyday life, a fit. some of what i taken for granted has suddenly become an obstacle then. and some things are just impossible. dlc within telling doesn't give off. if something doesn't work right away. he sees it as a set of physical challenges. something he used to seek out when he was younger,

which he had many could well, i grew up on the skies. i used to ski or slope as much as possible and i mean really all the slope side um, replaced in glenn the in the back country, the steeper, the better the renewal limits before it got can limit. so yeah, and i was also a passionate dancer and so because he is my wife was my dance partner, of course. so so convincing them i'm trying to instill this attitude into my children. but of course, that will be a bit more difficult to do in the future, like the fact that pops of his life are returning to normal is due mainly to his wife alexandra. she and georg have been married for 12 years. when mix of them, you learn to adapt to the situation. it's like a movie and it didn't feel like our life. it's only now that the 4 of us are back at home that every day life has slowly crept back in. yeah. and what's different? driving the kids to where they need to go in the morning by myself. that was a task we use to share up on that that i have to make sure before i leave the house

that i leave georg a coffee cup with a straw in it. and then i wash an apple for him to eat for the next time she will never forget the 1st time she visited her husband and the hospital, off to his amputation with the 2 children. so kindly of by the okay, we came in to go through the 1st thing shouting and said was dead. where your hands and i said, i told you remember, yeah, but then very soon it was just like always we all staged erase with the wheelchair . getting on ran alongside me, lia pulled the little one was sitting on georg slap. so yes, it was just like, always likes to see it. well, gail, come down, exam dressed every coffee together in the late afternoon after she's come home from work. they talk about the traumatic experiences of the last few months and what has given them strength significant. it's so important to have a family,

a ready to for emotional support. this went to home, my children and my wife have been such a comfort for me. i don't think i would have had the will and the motivation to work so hard on myself for such a long time with items one will help them get so i buy them gills. high tech pros, dc's costs thousands of years. the paid full mainly by his health insurance. some a diety is an important principle in german society. the healthy pay for the sick, the rich will the poor. everyone is entitled to the same medical treatment. today, orthopedist or slot ski is given guilt. a new sense of pros, dc's, so, but i've got your new feet with me and said they don't feel natural. that's for a job. i get it. i don't know. i just want to find out about this couple things that i said, and at 1st it feels good to get a bit more support and it helps cool as soon as you know, as of now, you don't have so much play in the many more. yeah,

great for so long. he leaned back but then adjusted all on your own guilt of intending is making progress, but he's eager for things to improve even more quickly. escaped by the one of the things we'll continue to progress is if one improve doesn't work. there's always another good just to finish on finding that new approach becomes the important thing to do. the most important thing is to keep going to keep out to the london has an air pollution problem and has started several initiatives to reduce people's exposure to find just cars are major polluters. so limiting private transport is an important part of the locals government plan to alleviate the problem. key measures include driving into a london with

a private car has become more and more expensive. drivers are urge to switch to low emission vehicles and private transport is banned from several streets in the city . well, many london a support restrictions to protect the environment. others are getting increasingly fed up. they were heading to the center of london on foot. it's a straight route, but a trip by car is filled with many detours. the shortest way for cab driver as these would be to follow the red bus. but there is no turning left for taxis here. since the central road is now only open to buses and cyclists, and the dislike cars can't turn right or go straight, meaning aziz has to drive once around the block, spending properly 6 minutes and traffic now from where we started from. and

i could have done a left out from where your offices are really, really frustrated. and what we designed for short, green lights and long red ones and a whole lot of new signs. sometimes it's prohibited to turn right or left and sometimes the road is only open to buses. sarah lanes for cyclists, though, and recently they've been granted access to several main roads. drivers, however, are regularly stuck in traffic jams on parallel streets. it's not unusual for these to meet twice as much time for a trip as he did 5 years ago. right here we go straight the way down to wellburn place to get it for the extra nice. the london is mayor, turned it into a public seating area, even though it was next to a park. it's in my opinion, it's just

a discovery call driving a lot of them. uh to make it really a horrible experience with neo goods. as people jump on to the public transport system and disease isn't really wrong about that. london is mayor has made no secret of the fact that he wants fewer cars on the streets. when people to walk cycle use public transport and drive clean costs. it wasn't long ago that london's mayor, so the con, extended the ultra low emission zone for cars us to the entire city to offset emissions. those who exceed certain levels have to pay fees with cameras registering every vehicle. in the suburbs, there were fierce and loud protests. one of the protesters was building contractor . danny met his cars were not deemed clean enough under the regulations.

for a short time, he paid the emissions charge every day to keep his business running. in the end, he saw no alternative, but to get new vans. we've lost jobs because we've had to the coup, right? those costs both the you guys buy and the new van, but putting it onto the client. this is not a solution to keep painting lies in good working costs, paid. needless to say, danny can't ride a bus or bicycle with his heavy equipment. so he didn't really have a choice. but the restrictions on cars are there for a good reason. london's air is polluted. rosamond supports any measure that makes driving less appealing. her 9 year old daughter had asthma. she died in 2013. so i finally picked up her death certificate. i had to say to black and white that she died due to not just add pollution, excessive levels of air pollution. according to london's may or the air quality has

been improving and like him, rosamond believes that the measures to cut car use have helped it is still at the stage where it is impacting the most vulnerable, and that is young children who are developing the along still i know so, oh is it people who are more valuable? aziz's offer better air quality, but he doesn't believe that restrictions are the only way to achieve that goal. nor is he happy about the newest traffic lights. one of the most efficient roundabout service. more stuff from god. for sure. yeah. how is that making sure that he thinks the mayor should be working with drivers on finding solutions, not against them at last, as ease nears, has destination after yet another trip built with the tours. when i think of seagulls, i imagine laughing waste and serenity at the beach. but for many people in rome,

a far less picturesque image probably comes to mind. for the last decades, the terminal city is attracted flocks of seagulls. they've been learned by dumps and bins groaning with food chucked away by residents and tours. while the birds skid more and more comfortable. some romans are getting increasingly annoyed. now the citizen registration has come up with a new idea to tackle the invasion of the sea birds, sun yusef in room and within a time for the singles in that own slice of paradise were abundant. tourists provide a bountiful feast around 50 years ago. there wasn't a single c go around here, but now the everywhere. the romans have mixed feelings through the like it when they spread their wings and look at us, if they're talking to you, where are those gonna enjoy the company? and i go by. yeah. so it's up in us last night when the delivery came in siegel to

come up with a fish. so you end up running after them. they've got a good idea that a w and we've had his gum, the restaurant suspects now sick and tired. if the wings thieves for him, no, no, you know, even unless he goes accounts on the trash bags, holding all the food scraps out it, if they call open the bags and then drag them right across the street. no. but to the southern sofa, all attempts to expound the beds have been in vain. but now the falcon erie romani birth control service has arrived on the scene when it comes to driving away the trouble makers, via into harris's whole car in high demand. see goals have been bothering the guess on the rooftop terrace. if the hotel pump to cease though for weeks the only day or is simple to go beyond that, maybe. i mean, just because it goes, become afraid because there is a predator nearby that could harm their young and you don't get false loss or don't they sense? it's not a safe place for their young the, the area, but obviously the screwed up at a pretty. so be clearly, even the big,

the goal is keep a healthy distance from those close front of you. so the, to pray return every 2 weeks. they don't one goals, they just scare them away. flavio has a soft spot for beds, which explains another falconry. and the deep funding she has with a whole lot of this are the trained her and she grew up with me and the over time we've developed a trusting relationship and grow for the thought. and if you do show, thanks to her, perhaps one day the see goes invasion of roommate. yes. be a footnote in the cities, storage history. well, it certainly seems the seagulls have tried to make the internal say to their internal home. that's all from us today. i hope you enjoyed the show, you can look up all our reports in our website, dw, the. com. thanks for watching and see you next week the,
