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 roofs and poland, poland, and e. u. member states, as seen a dramatic rise of illegal crossings in recent months. belarus has done little to discourage migrants from attempting to enter the neighboring states. tensions arising on the polish side, human rights activists, alexander fis, on the guys concerned about the we'll be going for a few gees many have died in the past years, trying to make it's to po, but others live, boarded guys, me. hi, buddha, support district. the board of policies and noticed by the publish government yesterday about the whole boot of the polish border guard keeps watch on the

frontier with bella luce salt. a few years ago this paved road led straight into belarus and there was no, it's closed. as an external border of the you, it has to be secured against illegal immigration, among other things. buddha and his fellow border guards patrol from migrants waiting for their chance to enter the u. v. of the forest on the television side. sp seen any one suspicions of that? yeah, yeah. which quiet tony locals. 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. holden's previous government headed by the law and justice party installed a barrier along some

a 180 kilometers of the border. or even so, the polish border guard has recorded over 25 years into attempted to legal crossing so far this year. many more than the year before or to create the science april the number of attempts has risen 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 both of our vehicles and equipment, had been damaged too. and ultimately a tragedy occurred to us from the cost of one of our own was killed. you know, a year that's nice. border guards are increasingly being attacked through the barrier. in early june, the polish soldier died of stab wounds inflicted by mixed with spear the polish government under donald tusk. names that would we activity to 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 median were,

and fewer of them are families in need of assistance. i'm just going to ship a 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 village. lucy and frontier before vigilante groups for the border guard get to them. student also looked at us, put the economy over the people we encounter, tell us they've been subjected to even worse, even more cruel and ruthless violence. not just on the bellow roots inside, but on the polar side to a point where they only tell us they were beaten, kicked, thrown to the ground, and handcuffed one, okay, then kind of me thinking about of the most thinking but of them will find them proper kind of friction know sca shows us videos of refugees, feet 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 them the roost. but not all refugees are given the chance to apply. in a lot of those push lots to 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 belarus 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 to the new car. wondering if push will be that so kind of close to 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 to a small gate in the barrier to the valid routes inside. there's been hardly any official response. this border area is especially dangerous for refugees. alexandra

christian of sca shows us the grieves of people who died in the be all of the edge of forest. this is going to do any of those. most of these people are fleeing mortal danger in their home country, sir. they 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 of isolation means that rather than finding peace and safety, these people lose their lives. time for the folder to donald tusk. promise more humane refugee policies in his election campaign. christian notes go says he hasn't kept those promises. border guard me help or says that supplements coming go. but the border will always be protecting. because it's secret binder injury like this in your cut on a finger can be extremely dangerous. blatt's poisoning or sips,

this 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 last delayed diagnosis in germany almost costs. buick wintering his life. after the infection, he lost large powers of his arms and legs. now he's trying to adapt to his new normal while maintaining a positive mindset. operating an electric wheelchair. it works well. that deal could still alive as a small miracle. he was in an 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. not mine that will pave when i arrived here after my operation. my body was so weak and my muscles so atrophied, that i could only lift my head. and since you don't mind, call team content to see i'm come. the 1st thing i had to do was get fits again,

rebuild my body else 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 i'm in the most through the full started so innocent. he was here. look what happened was i caught myself in an old here mattress and the seller. and this one, it was a very, very small cottage on my left index finger, which became infected and send it out. comes it turned into a strip to call co infection, which ultimately triggered subsets as far back. and you can see the small, small cot here, and that then developed into a blister over night, like going up to the other end because the infection was caused by mouse droppings on the mattress. soon gale was in severe pain, had a fever and shortness of breath to doctors told him the infection was homeless. the

aux 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, the heart and the loans on doesn't exist. so 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 a lot. hi, a whole fessor device among the oaks, attending physician at the rehabilitation clinic. his major concern early on was that the residual limbs and the skin protecting them feel 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 appropriate 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. substance occurs 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 and 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 says i was getting kind of an issue with in most cases at least to death because it is not recognized properly. and so when i was in that respect, i was very lucky to survive that and i just still be sitting here today. so it can come saw come on in the whole space just for us. it's once much 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 could need both psychological and physical help fish. very nice. well done. chip. i didn't help not work that well. yes you do that on your own line. i think it in on the side it does say, i think what makes them different is that he doesn't look back in the looks ahead of i think he realized how things were going for him a few months ago. and he thought 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. 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 what i want, then i have to one to what i can do. i'm gonna say fine was kind of happy, positive fits feels good and it was on low pressure points. no pain. sure,

nice. every step takes and almost f at both physically and mentally. one day dlc vin telling hopes to be able to work again before the steps as he was a marketing team leader out. a 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 an early retirement on this. i feel strange again just feels wrong. coolants on, on the thoughts off me sign i one to buy go. if you did it, that was the feel free to didn't crush your hand today. no standing will king deal once to reclaim as much of his old life as possible to spare and doubts all his constant companions escaped feeling you know that i have many entertainments,

no doubt about that. i couldn't find that our days when i could just scream at the wall of mine and beat 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 don't someone else on the above all is the question, who's to blame or that's always the thing though, 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 shelf. and so i definitely 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 what she has lunch during his rehabilitation feed escape. she just get a lot as possible as a whole lot is no longer possible for me to be a lot simply has to be planned with the help of family members when it starts with getting one church at the fridge farm. 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. i. this is part of everyday life, a fit. some of what i taken for granted has suddenly become an obstacle then because it seemed and some things are just impossible. dlc within telling doesn't give off if something doesn't work right. the way she sees it as a set of physical challenges, something he used to seek out when he was younger, which he had many people. i grew up on the skis. i used to ski off a slope as much as possible and i mean, really off slope i found the place in glen the in the back country, the steeper, the better the renewal limits before it can limit. and i was also a passionate dancer. and so 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 to the site, the tops 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 is 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 used to share up on that. and then i have to make sure before i leave the house, that i leave georg coffee cup with a straw in it that 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 advised me. okay, we came in to go through the 1st thing saturday night instead 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 erased with the wheel chair, treading on ran alongside me. leopold the little one was sitting on gail's lap. so yes, it was just like always. well, gail conduct 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 so important to have a family are ready to for emotional support. i just want to how 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 without them to own will hold on it. so all by skills, 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 ritual, the pool. everyone is entitled to the same medical treatment. today, orthopedist or slootsky is given guilt. a new sense of pros, dc's, 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 if it would be like, it's a lot of fun. a lot of times i said at 1st it feels good to get a bit more support and it helps good sufficient. as of you now, you don't have so much play in them anymore. they are great. you 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 on the so the things will continue to progress is if one improve doesn't work. there's always another good defense and i'm finding that new approach becomes the

important thing to do. the most important thing is to keep going to keep out to the or 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 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 are 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 properly 6 minutes and traffic. now, from where we started from. and i could have done a left out from where your office is really, really frustrating, and what we're just waiting 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. there are 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 welcome place for the extra noise 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. so 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

cycled, use public transport and dry clean cause. 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, they were fierce and loud protest. one of the protesters was building contractor. danny met his cards 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 apple, you should, 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 longsville and also, oh is it people who are more valuable as these is 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 makes he thinks the mayor should be working with drivers on finding solutions, not against them. at last, as these nears, has destination. after yet another trip filled 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 decade, the terminal city is attracted flocks of seagulls. they've been learned by dumps and bins groaning with food, checked away by residents and tours. while the birds get more and more comfortable, some roam is getting increasingly annoyed. now,

the suggest administration has come up with a new idea to tackle the invasion of the super. it's so new staff in room and we didn't have time for the singles in that own slice of power. dice were abundant. taurus provide a balance of policies around 50 years ago. there wasn't a single see go around here, but now the everywhere. the romans have mixed feelings through the like it when they spread their wings. and the look at us of our talking to you world is we have joy, the company. and i will buy mia small dumping us. last night, when the delivery came in a siegel to come up with a fish. so you end up running after them took a good idea that a w and we've had his gum, the restaurant suspects now sick and tired. if the wings thieves. but i know no, you know, even unless he goes accounts on the trash bags holding all the fluid scratch on it, if they can't open the bags and then drag them right across the street, you know, but that runs on a southern sofa. all attempts to expend the beds have been in vain,

but now the phone connie re romani bed control service has arrived on the scene. when it comes to driving away, the trouble makers prolong away into harris's whole car in high demand. see goals have been bothering the guess on the rooftop terrace. if the hotel parentheses go for weeks, the only day or is simple. got beyond the, i mean if you got a goals, become afraid because there's a predator nearby that could harm their young and you don't get false unless they don't they sense it's not a safe place for their young and leave the area every single downloads on us to go without the video, it'd be clear. even the big, the goal is keep a healthy distance from those close front of you. so the pray return every 2 weeks . the don't ton goals, they just scare them away. flavio has a soft spot for that, which explains another falconry and the deep funding she has with a whole lot of dyslexia trained her and she grew up with me and the over time we've developed a trusting relationship and go for the thought. and if you do show,

thanks to her, perhaps one day the see goes invasion of room may just be a footnote in the cities, storage history. as well as certainly seems the seagulls have tried to make the terminal 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 respect,
