to just join us for an exciting exploration of everything in between moses video and audio production 5 d w. i hope that you will tune in the this is focus on europe. i'm alara babble a welcome. in germany, a far right party has one its 1st ever state election in the history of the country's federal republic. it was a bitter and shocking moment for the political establishment when the results became clear. the f. d or alternative for germany has come out on top of state elections in 3 year and place 2nd in neighboring saxony. but the f
9:31 am
d is likely to be blocks from taking power. as all other parties have refused to form a coalition with them. to. one reason is because germany's intelligence agency has classified several of the after these regional branches as of right wing extremist. this includes the eastern state of the ring. yeah. as the little divisions deepen, a tax on politicians are rising. earlier this year, our reporter met with 2 local politicians, the poseidon shots, bella, and michelle miller. there was mainstream political parties in east germany over the course of their careers. they've been insulted and threatened mickey out was even the target of an attack. both are now asking themselves if their work is worth the risk. arsonist targeted his house 1st is car, then his front door. since then everything has changed from a shy and made up
9:32 am
a local, social, democratic politician. suddenly, every noise, every movement could indicate a threat. miller was not at home on the day of the attack, but a visiting family once dunbar and cooled off the investigator came and saw that the entrance it'd be ignited as well as a car under the fuel tank. but in tongue flights were on in the house, and there were obviously people in sight file and this had given them. so the assumption was that someone was supposed to dine. so the case was raised to attempt to murder an artist also hold schools to offer for so much. now me to admit that i had previously organized a demonstration against right wing extremism in his hometown. the attack shortly afterwards could have been related to his engagement. yeah, my boss is the 1st of all, it was very suspicious for me for a very strange coincidence enough to know that the office windows of 3 s p the politicians here in syringe, here it was, were smashed in the same night and was all in one night quite
9:33 am
a winter then left the mark till 5 time. most of them is a mission. me that doesn't want to be afraid, but it's difficult. local politicians like him are known in the community. many involves his house and know where he lives. the question quickly arises, is public service worth the fear? is that the manufacture type? is it worth giving up my free time for a community which then it comes to me for my trouble court? no. that couldn't be, and fewer and fewer people will volunteer their time and effort, you know, from municipal and community cancels far as local american. i'm thank you broke on my of the the. so what's my extreme violence against public officials in germany is becoming more and more frequent. henrietta take the mayor of cologne narrowly escaped death and 20151 day before the election. a right wing extremist stabbed her in the neck. and in 2017. andrea's hostile mayor of the town about 10 that was also
9:34 am
stabbed in the neck and 2020 shots were fired at the constituency office of don't just talk member. com but the abi and in 2019 castle district, president voucher. luke was murdered. by a right wing extremist, according to a survey, more than half of all matters in germany have been insulted, threatened, or physically attacked. the casino haines. schwann's feather is the mayor of the east german town and sauce, and she felt the hate while campaigning. it's one of our comes plans during my election campaign, the atmosphere, and so some was really extreme. for instance, that was the, is i'm question is the new met is lama sizing, the town itself and on because my husband is of turkish the same gun. but what's really difficult is that it's increasing more and more, and i noticed it in the political atmosphere to its lawn, the whether threats,
9:35 am
insults, or violence attacks, nearly $12000.00 mayors throughout germany, usually experience residents, frustration at government policy 1st hand the info. so when you get to the point where you cancel events, possible basically field disputes by a month or like you pump freely, express your views in public and democracy doesn't work anymore. then for the other thing we're getting to that point side of minus off and stuff. that's why many local politicians are thinking about stepping back from politics. because a huge fonts, butler has been warning about the consequences for years. this is not listed google's, it's a really big challenge because we realizing that now even with an actions, right wing parties and right when people are taking this thing and from the actual society. as i'm going to call this off, you hardly have anyone who really commuting to engage in local politics often when i pretty take so much. and if you don't have anyone decent to pick on an election
9:36 am
ballot, i know this has to mazda, which is supposed to eventually and then been for years bosnia and herzegovina has been a popular trans of country for migraines, trying to make it to the european union the land root is an alternative to crossing the treacherous mediterranean sea. but many heading west are unaware of a leaf old trap, said you're in a border river. scores of migrants have died trying to cross it. that's all it is v next to match, tries to bring dignity to the departed. he's determined to return the disease to their families. but despite his best efforts, some migrants who had hopes for a better life and up very nameless, with nobody's to claim them. the cemetery, small, but it harbours many secrets. each grave conceals a personal tragedy involving the nearby border river during the deck. cmh shows us the site just outside the small town of building. now in bosnia and herzegovina,
9:37 am
oval. this is, this is the most recent as of january here, a woman much and then she was found unusually far from here, the invalid and i will bullet to otherwise it's only men in the cemetery. young healthy men says doctor, see miche, he's the pathologist who examines the bodies here the drain looks peaceful on the opposite side. lie serv? yeah, the river plays and then take roll roll in the lives of people here. we will boys on 3 and we are doing the green a. it's beautiful, our paradise for that. but the gina is also the most devious, treacherous river in the world and i bought a vehicle. i see it. the entity in the civil defense of bosnia herzegovina knows why it's so devious. goren, scale, you that and dragon ravage patrol there, stretch up the river regularly, around 40 kilometers of border, tempting for migrants wishing to enter the u. v. i the but as i said,
9:38 am
the dream is 1st and then the shallow parts unpredictable. it's one of the fastest rivers in europe to that, which is why so many people don't leak. it's from one bank to the other. small makes us found one of them just 500 meters down stream from here means what? not based on met rapidly changing water levels and treacherous whirlpools combined to make the dream that a deadly trap dragon grew up by the river. he knows every meter of it, but he wouldn't try swimming from one side to the other for all the money in the world. for now, the dream is still full of water. but that changes at the beginning of summer to send the other bank looks tantalizingly close 4 years ago of bosnia and herzegovina, young journalist film, what that can lead to dozens of refugees and migrants tied together. many of them
9:39 am
can't swim and risk every thing. what looks like a walk in the park can be life threatening. the button 3 people from pakistan drowned and the river. then 3 of us last yesterday, there's been a decrease of people using this route in recent years as serbia's taking action against them. so smugglers have changed their routes, but bodies are still found floating in the water. really cool these nice. got it because of the, you know, if it's, uh, yeah, i came to the river station. know what is there? i see the body floating under the water. so we need to, but i called the police police, what day they came and we pulled it out. took a photo at the time. it was a refugee from us, got us down. i think the dragon's boss tells us what happened next. they were able to identify the young man with the help of the photo
9:40 am
the show, but lucky that i've gotten, his brother came from france and brought him back home to have gone to stanley where they buried him to me says activity on the to storage and what we do, what we can to help support profile promotion out. i'm not sure a sure what it was so good. i'm training the dream that does not always release it stead so quickly. sometimes it takes days even weeks. then they end up with dr. cmh pathologist just retired, but he continues to work anyway. this will go to the seas, have them sign up. let's take for instance families from i've got us done. talk is done on morocco who are looking for their relatives. it's just impossible they. they might even know that their loved ones drowned in the dream or not, but finding and identifying them impossible. it took a lot. so in each case, dr. see much takes dna samples, which he saves in the database. today's he's collect the dna from 40 unknown bodies
9:41 am
. now the international commission on missing persons in the hague wants to analyze the samples. this gives the pathologist help with the dates is set to little appeared most that simplifies everything forward. so what are cool, all the usual a family and morocco goes to a laboratory, who's the parents give a sample for you? and then that lab contacts the laboratory in the hague and we compare profiles all the prophy levels for the the fluids that the little chord said in less than a week. the family knows where their loved one is buried. who so whether india elena subordinate, or somewhere else, now they will be an adult. it was what the compelled him on that and so perhaps the cemeteries along the river will reveal some of their secrets after all. because people like the dark sea mitch wished to give the dead back their dignity and their names to now this is an office with a view mario sans loves,
9:42 am
getting up for work every morning. he's dedicated decades to his profession, and no the line between work and his personal life is blurred. he wouldn't have it any other way. mario lives in spain high above the cliffs of the mediterranean sea, but his days there are numbered. mario's line of work is dying out as a modern technology is making his profession redundant. before that time comes, he's determined to shine a light on its heritage. the a solitary beam of light. 23, not a co miles long. the, the photo then mess out all done in under. let's see. uh, a lighthouse. mario's sons has lived in for 32 years. he's the one that spans last light housekeepers to him, but i don't know, but i so i think sometimes i feel like i'm
9:43 am
a squatter in paradise. i'm when i don't know if i think i don't deserve to work in such a beautiful place. i do, and it's a real privilege to see of working. and i only realized that myself, after a few years in a little space coast, was once home to 500 light housekeepers like mario today, he says that number is closer to 15. mario's work consist of a strict daily maintenance regime now connected to the grid. 160 years ago the light was generated by oil of the i thought the there was always something magical about lighthouses at about 40 the light and shadows, a beacon in the darkness and not only for the ships they also cast the spell over me that you have a different perspective from here. the internet and the the windows need regular cleaning, so it's not blocked any light. but the 63 year old is used to the dizzying heights
9:44 am
. like a little bit and i never thought about it. if i was sent to the highest inhabited lighthouse in the mediterranean, 222 meters above sea level would be the if i didn't have a head for heights, i'd have had a bad time all these years identify the the mario is proud of his lighthouse and he knows that the old technology is still indispensable in modern times. it, okay. business gps is great to that. i mean, but almost all ship captains. i would say they watch for beacons. a computer wants to hang them onto that. there could be a problem with the satellite, so obviously out there guessing not, but the lighthouse is always there within reach of a piece, a goal. with that feeling, mario grew up in madrid, almost 400 kilometers from the sea. you had a bar there until he decided to become
9:45 am
a marine signal mechanics far away from the big city. the when you leave the city, you realize that you're part of nature. on the one hand, you realize that you are independent and can do more than you think on the other, and that you're just a tiny dot on earth. it isn't going to be the mario also maintains the photo, the mohawk, got the newest and most modern lighthouse in spain. it's uninhabited, so everything here is remote control road. this is what the future looks like. mario only needs to check in once a week. then they don't fight on, they will. my lighthouse is 160 years old. this one is just 325. so they represent a change in the world of work in the past. how many people worked on site everywhere? yes. what that on a home on today, remote working and working from home are very important. it's the same with
9:46 am
lighthouse that's on it. i think it's a shame, but that's progress. level of feeling as i see. it's only a matter of time soon, all lighthouse is will be remote controlled here mario is set to retire in a few years. but if you can, you will continue to look after the lighthouse museum, keeping the memory of his profession and his predecessors alive. experiencing storms here, bottle helping shipwrecked people being a base on the coast. all that will be lost in the end of it because i mean are you good? my photo will remain close. i the last lighthouse keeper on this side, if i don't say that, it's nice to be part of this heritage. i need to know what am i bought? the, the, the products i get it. i'll always remain connected to the lighthouse somehow. they'll have to deal with me here until i die and scatter my ashes in the sea. they've got to you that had to have the photo then miss out all done and will
9:47 am
continue to live on sending. it's raise over the sea, but remotely to our next story also blurs the lines between working and living. but this one comes with a very different view. in the polish capital of warsaw, there's a big demand for tiny spaces. micro apartments have emerged as a nation market. people like are to, is that good you have ski are finding creative ways to fill their homes with life. his micro apartment is fit for royalty, but the small space has come with one big catch. the future of living has come to warsaw, 15 floors 3000 apartments. most of them, tiny, narrow hallways, put some polls or making palaces of them. best time is he sensitive? hello and welcome to my micro apartments in more supplemental, not 5 steps. the 1st you come into the entrance for you and things
9:48 am
which doubles as a living space and then the kitchenette with everything on the i need to get to see if the positions through it looks like literally the 14th, but we're in the home with our 2 or the 1st, the clears difference to versailles is that our 2 are resides in just 18 square meters. but he too, attaches great importance to pump and splendor the positive, intimate threes bottles of every centimeter account is gonna send us the bathroom, had a sliding door which makes it a usable space larger. and on top of that much more glamorous single bit more. there are videos of even smaller apartments on the web as if they're trying to break the record for the smallest. minimalist living is the current real estate type in the publish metropolis apartment towers as close as possible to the city
9:49 am
center, popularly known as little hong kong or china to too much or shift ski as an architect at a warsaw university. and sees minimalism as the way of the future. when you consider how much you actually need to survive to sleep, you may come to the conclusion that you don't need. you don't have to have a huge, i thought. out to a 2nd. yes, you would agree. the button this has traveled extensively and now has many apartment is home. phone or an apartment like this is quite enough for me. and i've always been something of a reckless and so it's enough for me to retreat into this enclave of space and call it this will be then sealants in. yes. so along with a few 100 neighbors in the residential tower. how are they ferrying here? we want to ask them, trying it dozens of apartment doors on almost all floors,
9:50 am
but no one wants to talk to us on camera. no wonder because there's a major catch with the micro apartments. they are illegal of focusing up, an apartment must be at least 25 square meters inside the stove. audrey tazarsky knows what he's talking about. he's a credit advisor in warsaw. as banking district. micro apartments are booming, even though the apartments are much smaller than is allowed. and that's the trick. considering them and it will come when developers build the space below that minimum area. and if they're not counted as apartments, but as commercial spaces, surface units, vehicle. okay, we'll just go over that list. we'll go that they were attractive for investors to buy the properties and rent them out by the thousands in the elevator. they're officially listed as offices, allowing them to bypass building regulations. it supports the trend for apartments
9:51 am
being rented cheaply and short term that's still the exception for poland. for almost 90 percent of people own their homes. you don't have to have it on your own and you don't have to have it for your life. you can rent it, you can have it here and the next year you can have it elsewhere. you can be today and also tomorrow, and unix and 2 years from now you can be in hong kong or divide out to the 1st has settled into his many precise for the long term. if he's not planning to move out of his 18 square meters, any time soon? yeah. me a specific product. i haven't had a house warming party here yet because it's not all finished. but i'll invite friends and have a nice evening meet us. we haven't spun to defend though, and he doesn't want to show it to us. well, it's a bit messing. it's
9:52 am
a classic sofa bed. so i folded outs and sleeps here. but 1st, every evening he takes in the view from his micro apartments over the booming city of warsaw the every year on the southern coast of england. a highly unusual competition is held. teams gather with the hopes of coaxing, hidden treasures to the surface. they're not searching for engine artifacts or gold . what thereafter will soon return to the earth. it's a competition that encourages participants to on earth, their creative side. attracting both young and old, the techniques employed very widely, and there's plenty of wiggle room for experimentation. welcome to could just be persons wackiest festivals. this is the one charming championship deborah, yet teams competes on the cornish coast to entice the mice ones for the soil with some techniques less willing to fix than others.

9:55 am
terminated acute begins, and the competition moves from the stools to this boils. i think it's a really fun event, but i think there is quite serious settlement in terms of the competitiveness that people advertise to high the day, but no one wants to admit the case. really serious and they want to take it everyone wants to it. i think secretly, like when you're standing next week. so it's the moment of treat for sunny india and it's not the result they wanted. is the tennessee one wranglers sweep to victory, things 30 to ones. luckily, lunar and sunny sporting to the end of the week. they promised to come back next year to re unite with the perhaps well, the models, multi friends, the perfect house pad, if you asked me,
