that there is a significant risk of human extinction from advancing. i was curious, continued d w. the . this is focus on europe. i'm laura babylon. 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 d is likely to be blocked 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. v. cosign shots, villa, n g, a. miller. there was mainstream political parties in east germany over the course of their careers. they've been insulted and threatened miguel 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 shot and made up 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 was then bon good often. yeah, an investigator came and saw that the entrance that ignited it as well as the car under the fuel tank. but then tongue lights were on in the house, and there were obviously people in sight fall in this house. so the assumption was that someone was supposed to die. so the case was raised to attempt to murder an artist also hold schools to offer for so much no mention miller had previously organized a demonstration against right wing extremism in his hometown. the attack shortly afterwards could have been related to his engagement. yes, my boss is the 1st of all, it was very suspicious for a very strange coincidence. 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 what quite a winter. then i 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 of the magnified type? is it worth keeping up my free time for a community which then farmington is me for my trouble? no. that couldn't be fewer and fewer people will volunteer their time and effort from municipal and community cancels. and we think the mind bar is local married until you program 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 as hostile mayor of the town about 10 that was also stabbed in the neck. in

2020 shots were fired at the constituency office of going 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 had been insulted, threatened or physically attacked. vive cuz saw him shot spell is the mayor of the east german town 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, as i'm question, is the new met is lemma sizing the town itself and on because my husband is of turkish defense again. but what's really difficult is that it's increasing more and more. and i noticed it in the political atmosphere too. it's long the long i'm whether threats, insults, or violence attacks,

nearly $12000.00 mayors throughout germany, usually experience residents, frustration at government policy 1st hand when the, when you get to the point where you cancel events, possible basically field disputes by a month when like you count freely express your views in public, but then democracy doesn't work anymore, then forcing me up. and i think we're getting to that point. i don't mind us asking 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 court is how you hardly have anyone who really commuting to engage in local politics. often when i predict so much. and if you don't have anyone decent to pick on an election ballot line of you know this, this to me of that which is supposed to eventually then been for years bosnia and

herzegovina has been a popular transit 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 will trap. the gwinnett border river. scores of migrants have died at trying to cross it. that's all it is. v vaccine 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 of personal tragedy involved in the nearby border river. trina, the vaccine which shows us the site just outside the small town of building now in bosnia and herzegovina. or is this grave is the most recent

as of january a woman march and then she was found unusually far from here, the invalid and i will go up to or otherwise its only men in the cemetery. young healthy men says doctor, see mitch, he's the pathologist. who examines the bodies here the dream and looks peaceful. on the opposite side, light serbia. the river plays in and take real role in the lives of people. here we are both element 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 skill you that and drag and ravage patrol there, stretch up the river regularly, around 40 kilometers of border, tempting from migrants wishing to enter the u. v i v. but as i said in the dream,

it is 1st and then the shallow parts unpredictable. i caught up, it's one of the fastest rivers in europe, 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's on their face to met rapidly changing water levels and treacherous whirlpools combined to make the dream a deadly trap. drag and drop 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. then the other bank looks tantalizingly, close. 4 years ago of bosnia and herzegovina, young journalist filmed what that can lead to dozens of refugees and migrants tied together. many of them can't swim and risk everything. what looks like a walk in the park can be life threatening. the button 3 people from tac

is down drowned in the river, then a 3, but let's just, yes, 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 kind of that equity. no, no fits. uh yeah, i came to the river station. so one day that i there, i see the body floating under the water. so i would need to, but i called the police a local as to what day they came and we pulled it out. i took a photo at the time. it was a refugee from afghanistan. i think that's where they got. the dragon's boss tells us what happened next. they were able to identify that young man with the help of the photo. the show, but lucky that i've gotten his brother came from france and brought him back home

to have a gun to stand where they buried him. me says doctor, through the wonderful old name or to still more from what we do, what we can to helps to grow promotion out. i'm not sure it's true, but as it was so good, i'm trinity adrena does not always release it stead so quickly. sometimes it takes days even weeks. then they end up with dr. c. mitch pathologist is 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 done this done talk is done on the rock of we're 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 seems a lot so in each case doctor see mentioned takes dna samples, which he saves in the database. today's he's collect the dna from 40 unknown bodies . now the international commission on missing persons in the hague wants to analyze

the samples. this gives the pathologist help a hey, over 90 days, this little little boy had most that simplifies everything forward. so what are cool or the usual a family, a 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 profile. it was put a the portal that the little code so less than a week for the family knows where their loved one is very useful. so whether and be elena subordinate or somewhere else now they will be in the adult. it was with the group held him on equitable risk. and so perhaps the cemeteries along the river will reveal some of their secrets after all. because people like the duct see, much wished to give the dead back their dignity and their names. now this is an office with a view mario sans loves, getting up for work every morning. he's dedicated decades to his profession and

know 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 of the a solitary beam of light. 23, not a miles long. the, the photo then mess out all done in under lucy, a lighthouse, mario sons has lived in for 32 years. he's one of spans last lighthouse keepers to him. but we'll know by that, but i so i think sometimes i feel like i'm a squatter in paradise. i'm going to, i don't know. i think i don't deserve to work in such a beautiful place. and it's

a real privilege to get an idea of working, and i only realized that myself, after a few years in a little space coast, was once home to 500 lighthouse keepers like mario today, he says that number is closer to 15. mario's work consists 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

. like a little bit. i never thought about it. if i was sent to the highest inhabited lighthouse in the mediterranean and 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. and ok, business gps is great to that. i mean, but almost all ship captains that we say they watch for beacons. a computer wants to hang 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 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, take it and can do more than you think on the other, and that you're just a tiny dot on earth and it's 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? yeah, so got a home on today. remote working and working from home are very important. it's the same with lighthouse 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, if you will continue to look out to 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 i'm about, the, the, the, you, the, 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 follow them. it's all done and will continue to live on sending its rays 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 our to is that that 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 departments. most of them, tiny, narrow hallways, put some polls or making palaces of them. the best of them is he sensitive hello and welcome to my micro apartments in more supplemental nev, i've got the future vice 1st you come in to the entrance for you and things which

doubles as a living space. and then the kitchenette with everything on the i need to see if another positions through it looks like literally the 14th, but we're in the home with our 2 or the 1st. the clears difference to verse side is that our 2 are resides in just 18 square meters. but he to attach his great importance to pump in splendor, the positive, intimate threes bottles of every centimeter account is gonna send us the bathroom, had a sliding door which makes a usable space larger. and on top of that much more clambers 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 publishing metropolis apartment towers as close as possible to the city center,

popularly known as little hong kong or china to too much or ships. keep 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 socket. yes, you would agree. the botanist has traveled extensively, and now his many apartment is home. phone is an apartment like this is quite enough for me, and i've always been something over recht with this. and so it's enough for me to retreat into this enclave of pace and call it this will be a sentence 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 the apartment doors on almost all floors, 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. but we actually have an apartment must be at least 25 square meters inside. so audrey tazarsky knows what he's talking about. he's a credit advisor in warsaw. his 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 echo, okay, we'll just go over that. let's, we'll go that they were attractive for investors to buy the properties and rent them out by the thousands in the elevator. they were officially listed as offices, allowing them to bypass building regulations. it supports the trend for apartments being rented cheaply in 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 is many per site for the long term. he's not planning to move out of his 18 square meters. any time soon? you might be 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 missing. it's a classic sofa bed, so i filled it out in sleep here. but 1st,

every evening he takes in the view from his micro apartments over the booming city of warsaw 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 are not searching for instant artifacts or gold with 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 festival. this is the what i'm trying to, i'm can shift deborah year teams compete on the cornish coast to entice the mice ones for the soil. with some techniques less willing to sick than others. the

person feels 6 year old sonny and 8 year old luna. and these as i said, the defending champions, not keen to see that ties to regular way. maybe the last year they backs $21.00, bought with competition fees. they going to have to dig deep teams can come up with their own with wonderful ways to fluid ones. by creating vibrations in the soil, luna, and sunny it takes them the lead from the beds to pack will stumps and mimic rain regulate around the square on the field. others are

taking a less cautious approach on the other one well says key here with strict rules in place to keep these useful creatures on scale and event organizer in like lots of georgia candles just as keen to celebrate the serious as the city houses with silence between incredibly impulse, an incredibly upset. so i think said like very intriguing characters and sat just incredibly important for all soils and also the systems by the same time that one was like, he didn't creature that we don't know much about which seconds to go. the team last out, that's fine, all vibrations, the 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 ever chose to hide today. but no one wants to admit in the case really serious, and they want to take it. everyone wants to it. i think secretly, like when you're standing, that's the it's the moment of treat for sony indeed. and it's not the result they wanted to tennessee. one wrangler is sweep to victory. 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, monday friends. the perfect house pad, if you asked me, that's all from us this weekend, focus on europe. thanks for your company. bye. for now, the
