the welcome to this week focused on here, open the live show. thanks for joining us today will begin today's program in europe. youngest country, comfortable. it was born after years of conflict in the region, and while the economy is growing steadily, the country still relies on foreign aid for many development projects. so it's came as quite a shock to city. that was shitty when the us government announced that it is essentially shutting down. it's for an agency, u. s. a. id. it is with american support that the renowned doctor and human rights activist was able to provide critical care to her patients in the capital, a peace tina and l square. there are many people who rely on therapy to shield from the atrocities they suffered during a conflict that ravaged the people decades ago. a free me isn't his real name. we've changed it to protect his identity. he was 19 years old when to serve

you in policeman rate and that was more than 25 years ago during the comfortable war between ethnic albanians striving for autonomy, a nationalist serves the trauma, he says, has been eating at him ever since. i kept putting off going to the doctor, so it's like my trauma got so bad that i couldn't even walk properly and controls so it'd be the re, she has been helping him. she's a doctor and founder of the eat organization, k r c t. the introduced woman and her 30 employees look after torture survivors over 1300 to date. it should be noticed, most of them are women who survive, sexual abuse or, or organizations work is funded from abroad with a 5th coming from u. s. c. i t. until recently, shortly after sweeping into the white house for a 2nd term, donald trump proves us the id funding is a huge problem for bushy

t feeling missed at 1st, it was an incredible shock and you can't really put it into words. the last we learned of the decision on a weekend, the man that forced us to suspend parts of our work for an initial period of 3 months. but time wise, k r c t is still providing psychological support for women, like susanna. also not her real name. she was re and abused multiple times during the war. it took her years to find the courage to seek help from k r c t. but even today, she says 26 years later, she still wakes up every night at 1 20 am. the exact time when she was 1st rate from a home from new nutrition. the smallest thing can send us into a downward spiral on deaker normal medical treatment, psychological support, and financial aid, or cut off that will spell out disaster for us. when they are from, from that on from it all. the people who come here couldn't afford this kind of psychological care themselves. health insurance and costs of who is limited and

health care can be expensive. like a free mean, many men were also raped during the war uncomfortable. but to this day, he's the only one willing to talk in front of the camera in comfortable which is still very conservative. victims of sexual violence face deep rooted stigmata. i had a lot of problems because i kept it all in. i was introverted, short tempered. i don't know how to describe it's it was pretty bad. i don't know how i raised my children, you know, being able to speak about it a key r c t helps address the widespread stigmatization of victims. and that's just one example of how the suspension of us the ideas affecting costs of $1.00 of your it's purest countries. it was until now also one of the largest recipients of us aid and the western balkans over $500000000.00 in the last 5 years. no cost if it was

government is doing what it can to limit the damaged by diplomatic means. images that i understand the boss quite often when you click on you on the soft today. of course, you know, there's now and you go from into the us with its own political priorities. especially on how to spend tax payers money. that's what i can call. hopefully i'm going to complex up of course it, somebody come up. this doesn't change the strong relationship between our 2 countries. model thing which extends to many areas. and then he goes to doctors 3 in the symposium despite repeated requests for an interview with the american embassy. we receive no response. so read the receipt to you is not surprised or trust in the us as being deeply shaken. things used to be different because i see this is a photo of me with the 1st lady, maloney a trumpet to me, is that some of it on the department to see somebody coming in for 0 set to cut off . that was in march 2018. seen that when the us state department selected 10 women

from around the world to present them with an award for their courage and strength to, to work on the band with quantifier was one of them missing a tune of function. you can do me, it has my doesn't own knuckle cartoon cartoon at the time. donald trump, us the sitting president as of the, from president jeff to us ruth. she was recently nominated for this year's nobel peace prize by a swedish member of parliament. a free me as far removed from all of this for him as for so many others, it's literally a matter of survival. simple for the without therapy. i couldn't live in minutes longer. not a single minutes. smell. like all of us, without therapy, we'd go crazy. we can't do without it the cost of his treatment consumes over

half of his pension. a free me certainly can't afford a psychologist. what? no, he doesn't know. he can only hope the . it's a phenomenon that we're witnessing across europe. many young people are voting for right wing and fluoride parties to understand why we met him. i'll be at the young politician from the netherlands. she invited us to a networking event for like minded people in the town of long, and there's a similar trend in italy where some young voters say they occur in hard drive. and popular government is not going far enough to protect what they consider to be italy's identity and the culture they are young and the vote. 5 rights more and more young people in europe are turning to right wing and national . this parties. what's behind the shift to the rights we are involved since 2022

utility has been governed by a right wing national. this coalition phillips will, however, consider a stem to solve the history student as a member of a neo fascist use organization. i remember that to the fact that joe ray, the interest about politics was the 1st section of the yes. on the frontier on 2016. because i remember that all the people said this, i'm a talk about that this fact has a negative surprise. so this is generated my 1st thing to us, and most of most people takes us to the district who's construction was commissioned by the tell them dictator, benito mussolini. in the early 1913 so that everything was bad, them to newport tells us, pointing to the architecture as an example. he says it totally has to be comments trunk nation again that immigration must be stopped and the power of the leads must

be real quick. for me, it is on success anymore, right? and left. you have the, the police to one side and the single police to other side, but especially to defend our, i worry them to the scene as little by was the something very, the single preserving their own identity. that's what virginia view the eclipse and its priorities as well. the 21 year old likes to speak about strong women and the big role they played during the fascist era. virginia takes us into the headquarters of force on one of the neo fascist party. they are getting ready here for a protest march that is planned and the next day you into sports. and all that i, i joined force in over between 20202021 after the street protests over the anti cobit measures showing you, you know, when the strong popular resistance against the restrictions was silenced 1st. and what was the only movement that raised its head and stared to engage in genuine

social protest. i felt when i found it in trouble shot it. we are surprised that the junior has no problem taking to the streets along with well known right wing x from is that she seems committed to fashion an ideology that's defined as all to a nationalist and anti liberal. elizabeth. we meet up with professor cloud tournament and we know use research and also are of numerous studies on the topic. port them on says it's stunning, co little historical awareness. some young people have human though it is infinity . this young people don't feel right when, because they think i have problems. my generation has big problems that's getting a lot to and we can't get into the economy. the job market is confusing. digitalization is rolling over as we feel we have lost control of our lives due to coven? yeah. happens to go on up. it's this mix of issues, and they need an answer for that team. how do this commission is this split the football? since they are not but why are the answers offered for right wing x from is proving

so popular. we attend dinner party on the wrong and in the netherlands. it's hosted by the name of the. the daughter of curtis immigrants needs a ride twinkies organization. young voters help the right wing populous cam with the most recent parliamentary elections in the netherlands. really lost the country . we really liked our history, our identity, and we like the people here. and we want to go here and it's, it's now becoming less and less you don't know where your neighbors are anymore. people really talk to each other. most of the people here are members of a party called for them for democracy. they are against the you and the euro. they claim the dutch identity must be protected from as long as ation has also invited some right wing populist from other parts of europe. hire, understand that you're from spain.

striking with how much content the dinner guest speak about immigrants. the young right when populist are calling for an ethnic leave homogeneous society, they rejects diversity courses beam all the distance fully behind it, even though her parents are courts fit together. so they have integrated, a 100 percent. she tells him, promotes her believes on social media including conspiracy theories. ringback it was through social media that she connected with bite wings. ideology even says when we meet for coffee and i'm still down, i think it's because social media people are less afraid to think what they think because they see the donor people social media are willing to talk about stuff or show stuff or do sports and it's okay, to be a man, it's okay to be wides. nowadays, social media plays

a crucial role in the political discourse, says close world on the use research from germany, heading that the fact that by doing parties of presents there is there's tricks, you'll make another tune. the young generation is definitely political. you. they are guided by their needs and interests. so i, to a high extent, young people are present online and communicate this way. and this is almost as important to them as the content itself. you know, and that's why political parties have to have a digital presence. the good type, positive side, going digital and also in concrete solutions. we have learned doing our trip across europe. that is tablets. parties have to take seriously whole young people feel to get them excited to get involved can fashion bring hope to award torn country? absolutely. say maria video and natasha come in. scott, they are designers from ukraine,

and their inspiration comes from traditional local ad tire and to be ongoing war. but do entrepreneurs have made quite a name for themselves in the country as well as beyond ukraine's borders? they firmly believe that the clothes they manufacture not only tell a story and to help create jobs, but can also increase morale among those not fighting at the front line. the training and made spanish and has become a symbol of resistance. as designers to fight a war the, the creation celebrate life, despite all the pain and offer a glimmering of lights and times of despair. of the training and fashion designers, natasha and maria are convinced that session can inspire hope. they combine traditional crossman shift with modern designs this much now back to the roots

were the ones to speak about ukrainian, but in a threatened way into a you know, as of ways it's going to be understandable from wonder people for a young generation to showcase how is this process can and you know, be a part of your lifestyle and it's what we are labeled is a success story. traditionally, the tire for ukrainian farm hands inspired an entire world and felt collection research how to associates and recreate that something you. it's also resembles, you know, is, is the water and bliss jago looks, etc, but it is all i was before in ukrainian culture as well. and, but, so we would create this is in to, in, in the brain and kind of way. and it's also one of the sellers, so people buy it another great success for the designer. joe was when a leading actress and the netflix series many empowers or pajamas from the collection. and thereby help the label make its breakthrough in the international

fashion, saying that the, it definitely works as a, you know, brand of the growth of brand awareness. and so we bring in an international markets as well, because i remember the times when we started as data and or even a 15 years ago, and no one wanted to create and design and design is. it wasn't a fashion, it wasn't a cold, but the times have changed. despite all the grief and pain around the ukrainian women wants to dress well and enjoy life. done. a part of us go says use to buy mostly for and fashion. it was viewed as something valuable, but since 2022, she started appreciating everything ukraine, which more the 1st effect before when i browse the shop. so i always end up buying ukrainian sessions. and then when i no longer buy mass, produce goods and all my friends, including many foreigners, are always impressed to they always asked me, where did you find that we put that. so this is a korean, so there's no tax with a class, not up a system. it's mainly women who keep the business running. the ukrainian economy

along with its thousands of jobs depends on the fashion industry. but it to faces serious challenges. power outages and supply bottlenecks to name the most common and i just don't think we have become stronger, although the war has been going on for 3 years now. and so one that we always find solutions, despite the difficulties we face the style we're trying to become more resilient the even though we faced greater difficulties, commercial guy, mostly it was to it was almost impossible to find trey and stuff at 1st serve as nice as it but many ukrainian women have returned from abroad, says natasha many bishop by symbolism and that so they created new jobs that are now even expanding for should not be. i'm used to having just 13 people for working here and they call in our this production stuff is like more experimental. so then they have a lot of the supply these ukrainians are finding joy and to find the war as best

they can. whether that's by creating trendy apparel or showing it off and the runway norway is one of the world leading oil producers. that's things to people like him beyond a caps that he used to be an oil worker, a job that helped boost his country's economy, but which also took a huge toll on his physical and mental health. beyond it and his former colleagues worked on an oil rig in the north sea, off the south western city of tap on him, and now they are demanding compensation from the government. in this oil platform is a model in a museum down a cop start of norway worked on one like it for 20 years. he doesn't have many good memories at that time. of the 1980s, when he and his co workers were happy, truly exposed to toxic substances. i worked on the

cranes to to the next. they are exhaust fumes from the turbine engines with blast right in our faces, you'll find them in a tough sometimes. we'd have to come back down after just a few minutes knocking stock. can we believe in self your asset all working on the tanks? that was really bad. they have all, many of us, even through up to the longest speed by age 44 cups. so it was unable to work diagnosed with mental disability. now pensioner, he can barely remember things is quickly overwhelmed, even by visitors in his own home. well, i'm always guessing dizzy, and i think count, they just leave on the country did go unhappily. see the time not doing well? that's a little bit very empty. social is sophia, although former oil rig workers like cups that are called pioneers of norway's oil age. southerners oil museum pays tribute to them. in the 19 seventy's and

eighty's, they were hired by the state to extract as much oil and gas from the north seas. they could as quickly as possible. but when workers like cups that started asking for compensation for the damage they'd suffered while working there, please fell on deaf ears, then move the whole time. so cold experts were making us feel like we were just pretending on the so it was pretty nasty. and now i see that well, i not until late 2024 did the majority in norway's parliament vote to compensate the former oil workers who had been affected by their unsafe working conditions. even so, the government was reluctant to be wary of the prospect of a deluge of loss. and since i've given no apologies, were forthcoming to the if you still get the money well there's from in most here, i wish to express my things to these people. they were you in shootings, but as prime minister i can only offer an apology in certain cases. something we can see. i don't wish to do that here. i didn't say or no. the opposition accused past governments of prioritizing oil revenues over the health of the oil workers.

let's see, let's start of our wiley age in the 19 seventies and 18. so the government worried that such occurrences might endanger the oil production of the thing. it's good, like a new lesson to make sure we could continue to drill and extract oil. beautiful folks that they didn't want to even get to such thing as a bore lot to lou and discuss them. an issue with this book is looked like, you normally send me all this sitting in the north sea. divers did receive compensation for their occupational impairments, but only after all is good for them. and up let's and, and his colleague rolled, begin, had sued the norwegian government, in strasburg, syrup and core of human rights. in oil production, the 2 pioneer divers worked as deep as 500 meters below the surface. and then in 2016, the court ruled the incorrect pressure tables for decompression. procedures were to blame for the brain damage they sustained during that time on the over the past. so many so i wanted to retrain as an ambulance driver. but when the time came for me

to take the test, i shouldn't, i'd forgotten everything. tell me anything to help coordinate to speak on the phone . but then the dumpsters told me my cognitive deficit, it would get worse over the years. so both of us had the wrecked something to the never and that clearly has to do with the diving to hit the that was all it was somebody about write down a cop 7 other former oil. rick workers are still waiting to receive compensation for the damage they've suffered to their health. hundreds of died in the meantime. the survivors say they don't have much time left or ahead. doors should be by suffer from a still processing that does some that it won't end well hip hop that my phones keep getting softer, fee of 8 when, while the old boy and what you it's time something happened before. even more of us are gone. yeah, no feel and hopefully have the fund to florida. man,

we won't get her health back either way had something to do or all those years lost all of the top. or even if the decades of legal wrangling come to an end for piano cop stopped, and others the painful after effects up their work in the north sea will not as long as they live. if you have a cat allergy like i do, you may have to be careful when visiting is symbol, the city is famous for its streets cab, folk, famous in fact, but many consider it the cat's capital of the world. here the felines are unseen astray, but as communal pets and many are known to roam freely in shops and coffee, as well as i might consider them a new sense. other is like ality to do. i'll go the extra mile to make sure they are cared for. in fact, it's thanks to ali the many even have a chance of surviving in the bustling city. as much as the red street cars on tex
