the choices was, act, steel, hasn't made a big impact on me. so that was so, you know, one of the, i can say a life changing the incentive in my life for shop the hello and welcome to this week's edition of focus on europe. i'm glad you could join us, geography, math or for language. well, school children do have different preferences, but there's one subject now taught in code the schools which seems to be hitting the mark fire arms lessons. the subject now is compulsory beginning as early as junior high school. the ongoing war and ukraine has led to an extension of the curriculum, whole and share as a border with ukraine. and feel the need to prepare for potential russian to attack

. so like in the city or are chevy even youngster? so learning to handle weapons and some parents think that this is good. move the 1st months then history and finally shooting weaponry classes, no mandatory and polish schools and could soon become a favorite. feels good to hit the target so, but i feel the shooting is fun. holding a gun in your hands on shooting fields. really cool. i think it's a good idea. life is scary these days. so you have to be prepared for any fan to the nicholas, copernicus,

school in scar. chevy is a normal primary school with students from the 1st to the 8th grade. differences of opinion are also handled in the normal way. what's his less normal about this school? he's in the gym for 13 and 14 year old armed themselves with the assault rifles and pistols laid on the table under the principal supervision. suddenly up sylvia palsky solitude is a compulsory subject in polish things. but i stuck it in the less on content consistency only of assembly and operating with and probably personal promises to work with the state of the world today. i think this type of training is very valuable, but for us to the down there that goes on mobile and i think she is referring to russia's invasion of ukraine. right next door. poland feels threatened and wants that young people to be able to handle weapons as early as possible. yes,

those are more just because they're not too young to shoot. you have tons of that because the passion for shooting like any sports, develops from an early age of programs. and yet that's why the ministry has ordered firearms training for all peoples. if they don't use live i munition lasers, a green light means hit. christopher pod is developed and his marketing the system is order books are full of books that are $18000.00 schools in poland. all of them will get this equipment as part of their safety training. shooting lessons were voluntary until 3 months ago. parents seem not to have complained about the on the contrary, it says that that's the goal. it'll tell you. we are very proud that our children want to be on the right side of history for us to defend our country. and to be patriotic value. it's a couple someone once we have this on the shelves and laptops,

so nothing more. that's okay. is this, my daughter is 14 years old and in the 8th grade a i feel she is capable of making her own decisions about her future and knows what she wants to do in life. or see if it was somebody needs to to get down just a few kilometers away. businesses, brisket kristof, casuals gun shop. so he sees the shooting lessons for teenagers as a logical introduction to the gun unfriendly polish society. we have a lot to believe have is access to firearms, probably about of the most 3, but i'll low in europe right now. poland finally came to the point that we can only know the, the fire arms. procedures are very easily going and you know, way, it is much easier to obtain the gun license and pull that and send driving the license. there is very little protesting and shooting lessons for people's dissenting voices like this are rare. so is that what's happening is really

sad, but that's opponent based. so it says support scroll down suddenly there's already so much violence. and now they've introduced this as you have to provide, you're afraid to go outside of a vision or the tip of the i'm not today know because they aren't mature enough yet . and in many more of the teaching these skills conduct fire on is all. will going to me as much difficulties, but it was cheapest possible in the gym. and scotia, the, the shooting lesson is winding down. the kids may have grew used to the cool feeling of holding a gun. but lots of folks in a real life situation with a really shoot at others like me. yes. i'm not afraid of challenges to go a little bit, but i wouldn't do it without a good reason is with a male or just of the se. well, i think i could do it of them, but it would be tough like, well, but that's nice this weekend. so yes, if my life or my friends or my family are in danger,

i do it. the mission accomplished. the mandatory shooting lessons are unique in europe. the mr. prepare primary school children to defend poland in the future. even if they are just children, know who just wants to play. just for the front of it. the prisons in the united kingdom are in a profound state of price, more than 2000 inmates has been reduced early since the summer because the prisons have been bursting at the seams. the government implemented this emergency measures because overcrowded sales and making them dangerous for prisoners and prison. stuff like former in may, francesca tour has felt the implications 1st hand according to her present conditions, a terrible and prospectus, a poor for finding a job. after serving jail time was terrified. the british government is

recruiting prison guards, but reality is different from the promotional videos. terms, physical violence attacks on fellow inmates. 4 officers british prisons are overcrowded, so much so that the government had to release some prisoners early teacher. francesca for torres been almost 4 years behind bars for drug trafficking. some of the time in this women's prison near london. only once a day where women allowed out of their cells, she remembers app. so any child sick of, you know, you go to different people from all different walks of life, different crimes. and as soon as i found that there was a slight letting the animals are as a boss and for one so allowed her cell had been designed for just one person. but because of overcrowding, she was joined by another inmate. many women around her were suffering from mental health problems. she says across the u. k, the rates of prisoners who are still harming is that

a record high to to less to 0 in force. and if you'll somebody that doesn't do well with it, with the south, which i didn't fast, it is horrible because once i looked in there and if you're locked in a day as well, you just are investing absolutely everything. do you pay? just a secretary defense the government, how they were only elected in july and had inherited the crisis she claimed today. but this government will build the present the last and septic government promised but failed to deliver. but in seeking the last and solution to our presents crisis, we must be honest too, in a way that my previous test says whether or not we cannot build our way out of this problem. sentences most encourage defenders to turn their backs on crying. we need food sticks and pirates because of spending cuts under the previous government. fewer and fewer prisoners have been given the opportunity to continue their education in prison. and the quality of training has steadily declined in recent

years. according to the government's own analysis and employment opportunities are rare. the london coffee chain redemption roasters is one of the few employers willing to give prisoners a chance. if you have a job on an evening present or within the past 6 week of leaving president, your house is likely to re offend. as somebody who does their coffee roasting is done within a prison. convicts are being trained as varies, does only 4 percent of them go on to re offend within a year, as opposed to over 30 percent nationwide. the new government is looking to increase schemes like this. rad is still learning in his new job as a barista before he was given a chance that redemption roasters, he had spent several years in jail, mostly having nothing to do when i asked whether literally any position, single address that i'm planning on like cleaning because of those that anything,

i've been told that it's a long way to move. and this, and then i've been in the safe side for the 20 for the day. or you can do anything to be the life of the size of the rad meets his case worker. patrick once a week, who is also employed by redemption roasters, a service that other ex prisoners don't get as probation officers don't have time for much individual support. however, the employees have to keep up their end of the bargain to some time looking for something we provide support. but there's also a bottom line where we say, where business with all the charities. and if you're not showing willingness to walk with us, and i'm sorry, we're going to have to move on to what was your experience like given boss in prison by francesca for tory, i hope to earn money as a youtube or a law. she's had some success already with the channel that is dedicated to helping female prisoners. she advocates for community service instead of jail,

for those who have committed less serious crimes on something that the new government is also looking at to. but employment remains the biggest challenge. she reckoned, williams, i'm just paying for the charles. cuz if you'd employed me off work 10 times harder than you would because i'd be grateful for one, you know, and to, you know, i'd, i'd, i'd want to prove myself that you made me made the right decision. francesca for tauriel considers herself lucky. in prison, she benefit from therapy sessions that helped her to move on from drug trafficking . she hopes that in the future more help and more training will be available for others to the u. k. government has promised to build for new prisons. totally. fortune fell a sales and a bit to help combat the overcrowding crisis. now is power set for traffic revolution? in many parts of the french capital, you will see congress bumper to bumper during rush hour,

up to $500000.00 cars cross through the city every day. now, most of paris, this historic center has to be declared a limited traffic 0. there's as much to the delight of coal and that will do from an initiative which promote spike fighting in town. but it's nice to the dismay of nothing each will saw from the driver's defense sleep. although both agree that something has to be done to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. they disagree on the main street chief, the go. the power for many, the most beautiful city in the world. for some, a traffic nightmare. driving here is always being par for the course. but the city is increasingly restricting this, the latest measure is a traffic coming zone and the city center are fun. naturally, tucson is skeptical because the powers metro has its pitfalls.

limits halls that there are no elevators in the metro because i'm interested when you have a stroller in 3 small children. you have to drive to say offer some of this. i will tell tom i don't, doesn't delete that. he does everything by, by statistically he's following the trend. more trips are now taken by, by comparison, done by car. new false. ok. useful points. we think the space given the cars must be further reduced. and so need some bad behavior should be punished to the court by drivers and cyclists. i just wonder if this is where i did some of it. we really need more traffic come spaces in public areas, especially in the best students. so newly established zone should also contribute to this sincerity. november powers has bound through traffic in the city center. if

you're coming by car motorbike, you need a valid reason such as a visit to a doctor or a restaurant. shopping is also permitted, but driving through is prohibited. 71, police only means less air pollution, but we're less noisy and more safety to go with this, especially on the road. see a hotel i p. so it's a nice thing on the cake is if you it is more fun to visit and go shopping in the area cuz i gotta do it because like i would suggest the quote. for now, the police are instructing drivers on the new regulations. but from may 2025, failure to comply will set you back 135 heroes. we meet some of those who are not happy with the cities. traffic changes will dissolve those from. apparently i'm in the bustling here. i didn't even notice or he told me that it's ok, this thing most of us soon you won't be able to drive him power as a tall or did you have to pull up your stuff? i'm not sure if i'm going to just want to drive through, it's a shame they're finding it the emotional feel the order,

but those naturally to sar is involved in the association for drivers rights. but what kind of stuff i have to admit there's less traffic and that's due to the new city regulations can focus. however, like many others, she has her doubts and how them new traffic comes. so will be monitored for schools . how do you improve your having dinner with friends so much? how do you justify the fact that you didn't buy the thing you wanted after all? which was your reason for driving the car into the zone and that $100.00? it then even the authorities aren't, you have clear and had a monitoring look and practice despite the setbacks and conflicts, cyclists, car and tower adult police. the city is on the right track. like i'm looking for. i mean, we're optimistic. the paris will be a 100 percent bicycle friendly city in a few years, and then we're on the right path. getting federal transport revolution has come to the french capital. some say its way to strict while others believe it's the only

way forward. we would like to introduce you to a special t v station in no way. just golf tv book, which means tv good. the channel is run by people with disabilities like reporter they got rid of the week the show was presented in simple language, making it much easier to view is to follow. there seems to be a demand for the tv station in no way. second biggest city burke and some of 5000 people shooting every week. meanwhile, prominent politicians, celebrities are teen to appearing on the ship, a tongue in cheek publicity, stunt norwegian politician. you and us gosh, to no heads. the government is kidnapped outside the country's parliament. he's forced to give an interview and promises to campaign for greater quality for people

with disabilities. for, for the anything that my dad or the death of all of us, a tv of this 2021 stump. me broadcast or tv bro. norwegian for tv. good. household name across the nation is a station created for and operated by people with learning disabilities. fed guard little and works as a tv, but all journalist and the norwegian city of barragan's. today, he's doing a studio interview, talking to 2 musicians from an inclusive band. i'm just telling me you can get a bit nervous when you have to take on an important job. so suddenly one big deal device on the editor in chief helps him ask the interview questions. hey, so example, this is like see myself as a normal person? yes. i have down syndrome, but i don't make a big deal out of it. so i'm honest with myself. beautiful a, a,

i remember them. well, so this could be camilla call high. the stations editor in chief and funder appreciates her colleagues, honesty and openness on the how that a uh for some people work here who have no training in long as others can't read or write well, go. they need help crafting their messages or from the side from that were as professional as any other t v station thing that's pretty clements and were being taken more seriously and almost valuable. were being taken more seriously. yeah, no. and tacos for oliver. mm hm. well do for kids, whether it's covering special olympics or cultural festivals, tv, brows, weekly hour, long show is all about diversity. is broadcast by a private television station and funded by the norwegian government and the city of bergen. tv. but all has correspondents all over the country and manages to clinch

tv interviews with most politicians association representatives. we've in bergen, norway 2nd biggest city. little grew up here. the social welfare authority has given him his own 3 room apartment with a modern and fitted kitchen. building says he usually eats pizza with us on day. hope to be living independently is pretty important. i'm 37 years old. before that, i lived with my father for a long time. you could say he was protecting me from the thoughts on his way to work, losing shows of some of his dance moves. if he hadn't become a journalist, he would have become a dancer. he tells us to be an inclusive school class is visiting tv, but all the teachers say the stations,

journalists are role models to their students who have all got the tv but all out on their phones. i think on austin. so when parliamentary elections are held in norway next year, tv, but i will be an important source of information for our students. so that on the there's too much talk and other media and that is overwhelming. yeah. it when we depend on tv, but i today the students are allowed to stand in front and behind the camera, editor in chief, cadillac full time, loves their enthusiasm. this to be honest, go hot only if we want everyone to participate in democracy and want this group of people to stop facing discrimination and stigmatization. and then we have to show their potential to show what they can give to society. that's what we do at tv, but i also know that yeah, the if the boss linda is out in town with a camera man, many people with learning difficulties are denied. i believe it's for online

banking transactions by norway's bank. the proven wants to know what passers by. think of that most. tell him it's not fair. back at the station, linda is busy with editorial work index cards with large letters. make it easier for him. the killing me on a. it's exhausting. but i enjoy my work. you can also meet the people here for mile sky and even if or if you minutes stuff, we managed to get nationwide recognition in norway. and now other countries are interested in us too. so it's possible we'll be expanding in the near future. so at, at all, really, i thought for explain that have so we can expect plenty more coverage from journalists bit garland and his colleagues at td, but all in the future do you have a soft spot for bells, which is, fabrics or fine tissues. then you should drop by at one of the many traditional dealers in belgium's capital muscles. one of them has an unusual name,

the green dog. what's behind it will be revealed later, for shop owner, the little one for swan is not the name that attracts customers into risk, but in a bundled range of fabrics. so if you made only in your the green dog and brussels has been delighting sewing funds human own for over 40 years, located on the canal and the former industrial area, the sound fair sounds, fabrics that you won't find anywhere else as generations of people here. now yes, that's funny. once i was sitting at the check out and the lady came in with their daughter who was already 6 feet tall. and the mother says to her, don't you remember that we came here when you were a little child? coughed, chuck got to know, could you be? certainly not your average sharp dealer on for swan runs the stores of family

business has lived for fabrics extends to a mixed bag of items which have found their natural homes in the spacious lot of room sign rooms left over textiles and english telephone box and a car in the middle of the fabric both because why not? he wants to surround himself and work with things he likes and that creates a special atmosphere so to speak, to if it's a real good success and believe it gives the police its character and see the you with the uh, to substitute then you said their industrial buildings collected now he cannot quite a yes, those are back the engineering class and they were built around 1900 to and after the 1st of all of the war most there was a continue to saddler in the front desk. so we know that for sure, a lucky and spices and green were probably stored here in the back and still kind of 12 where they're going to tell these days it's a huge fabric warehouse extending over 4 floors, which is now even selling its own designs produced in spain,

because patterns and colors can be transferred digitally, it's easier to order small quantities. then you're more than likely to take a risk. assessment of who mapping this string sample specifies that is velvet with a design by our own company. so people feel like we don't make things like this in one color, this mostly in a medium. that's what i was to say. but i said something to this here. there's green and pain and there's blue and brown. so you have to make all of that in stock and available for the stuck in our own pool tables everywhere and sham fair because they're good for cutting and level courses. so they are good because they're heavy, stable and very flat. dominique, as from paris and originally from the theater scene, and just working at the table, how does she like to she? i'm very similar to dissolve. i've only been working here for 2 years.

and with my moderate talent as a costume designer, i can advise people quite well on which fabric. thank you and show you the the do you see the dentist see? yes, i love it here. the, these adults who are the customers, people who want to make their own clothes, ordinary people, but also people from filling the theater or offer. and then of course, the acquired customer base on the green dog as high aspirations. let's say we literally want to work with you repeat in producers with the tech styles of european quality hotel. incidentally, the green dog was named after a small local street for fiber, glovers. its been burning up the right tree ever since the as well, that wraps up this week's edition of focus on your f. thanks for watching and we

hope to catch you next week too. bye for now. the, the, the

last last a story is going on. the movie they close almost fly this all over the label. i'm really good. i've been almost done. police police, 40 monthly part of the best. they've got people thinking, bought this house for basically, you know, for a little that the little in a few items already got. ask you with some of the ceiling. come with the effect in 30 minutes on the w charging is cooling. i'm song kind of

full east cigarettes or homeless even healthy at least according to the tobacco industry. an industry that is more than ever dickson industry now, and i finally found this matter in the 75 minutes, louise on d w. the . this is henry for the future. so i'm saying in southwest china, 32000000 people live here. many of them i yeah. it's not even so big. it has so many people. there must be a way to do business here though, except my parents wanted me to become a civil service,

but i didn't like the idea of getting such an old fashioned job and being stuck with 3. and it's coming through making money, having fun with non fools. and so i'm seeing stuff, december 13th on d, w. so you don't see the same way you expect and one's different things from life than your parents. i just want to pursue what that's nice to on fired or you think your kid is 2 different risk, irresponsible, unreasonable or port is not i want my son to the doctor. is there an alternative plan? we've done everything to prevent a divorce, but nothing works. so it's time to

you, we're a sweet thing for us. and then when generation now on, the team to ministry is kind of funny. feels like there's the 3 the, this is data between these and these are the top stores, the ultimate al, shut off the later of the series. rebel coalition says there will be no deposits for visuals involved in torturing prisoners under the often assad regime. the asked of the countries to hand of any individuals who may have been involved. thousands of prisoners have been released since the government was either thrown visa has confirmed that saudi arabia will host the 2034 for.
