the director doesn't know the camera is already running he admits straight away but he's powerless. you see my figures on the control of under age workers are pathetic figures should reflect what we're doing about it but their two week look here in two thousand and eleven we only did controls on forty eight miners so you're going to tell us all about it now. you know i don't want to talk about it. but i do want to talk about is the phenomenon of child labor in general in this city. you know about our activity in the region in general but i don't want to give statistic. why. because on the inspection level you don't have to explain to my minister who watched the interview why i've only done forty eight checks on minors. i mean in a city like naples forty eight checks last year that's hardly any and this year the have only been nineteen. asking which districts they're in children working you

know where. basically we know them all. of the zone around the one six seven roads also piano. so if you know them and it wasn't hard for me to find them what are you waiting for i have only two hundred days a year of inspection per inspector multiplied by one hundred inspectors that's only twenty thousand days of inspections per year bearing that in mind you can see i can't just focus on only one problem twenty thousand days a year in a region with twelve million inhabitants. the labor inspection agency doesn't have the means to make the fight against child labor it's priority. at the university of salerno research it has been analyzing the economic policies that have been adopted since the beginning of the crisis and according to him the government has let. this

happened fully aware of the cause one of the. i mean one of the ways in which the italian economy has responded to the crisis. has been to allow illegal work in the black market to increase. and our politicians in recent years have maintained this idea that a large part of the economy of the labor market. black market. and you must understand this work is not supply. and not an extra labor force. absolutely necessary for the survival of small to mid-sized italian companies. child labor has therefore become indispensable for the survival of crisis stricken italy. but at the other end of europe the crisis is biting too and everyone is

doing their best to fight it in their own way. great britain prime minister david cameron has a radical take on social welfare and that's the interaction of the benefits system with the choices people make about having a family i already talked about how many people have to think very carefully about whether they can afford to have children and how many they can afford to have since the crisis the british government has had one priority budgetary cuts the order of the day to end the benefits culture everyone back to work gone are the days when doing nothing was a long term option a choice under labor that someone was free to make to ponder whether to work or not to work well from now on the message is clear you must work and if you won't work with us to find that work you will lose your benefit.

these british ministers seem convinced that lots of british people don't want to work and yet in the middle of the crisis there are people who don't think of anything else the trouble is sometimes their children. a middle sized town in the midlands. michael is fifteen his mother is unemployed so for the past few months he's been doing the milk round with his grandfather to milk deliveries the tradition in england. i do is just stock and. get some extra money help from. my mates on weekends. yes. we'll crown symbolize work opportunities for youngsters in england this job is permitted from the age of thirteen yes but with a maximum of seventeen hours a week. michael works eight hours a day three nights

a week clearly over the authorised limit. is quite hard. all the running and walthew off today. and then my. sleep fall is really as well. to keep up michael drinks for energy drinks a night however his salary is low. that he is in tempo now. that. it's. not very good morning british there's a lot better than nothing ever goes on strike. threat. good won't it it's good experience rather. none of my friends what.

their parents can afford to keep giving them money to go if they want to would like . i feel it's pretty unfair on me that i have to have my place down for. cyber you got to do it. michael started at nine pm he gets home just before dawn. you're going to sleep it voted no so you finish school. don't. see you later. time is five o'clock. two hours and i'll be waking up at school. between six i was at school now quinoa again and then i will wake up and be able to get sleep.

and then. hopeful to sleep at school like a did last time. michael's mother levy has had a serious car accident she's been unable to walk without crutches ever since lee never wanted to give up work but she was made redundant last january and she lives off bentley four hundred fifty euros a month in this small house. finished and yeah same as last time. michael is in year eleven but at fifteen years of age he risks having to give up everything to

take the pressure off his mom a former middle manager in a hospital lee used to make a good living well she's ashamed to send her son to work especially since she knows it's illegal strictly built where. it sets the young there is legislation around obvious there in the davis legislation around now has set in around young people way and nice if another cell. would probably be in trouble. if it was found where. there was hours i'm not sure what the options are or would be if your thirty's discovered that michael worked so much lea would risk having her benefits cut off losing custody of her son. i think i've always been dismissive of people not waking in and things before because i think people have their ally choice.

those choices out there perhaps now looking back and recognized our very lucky man markets were to have been there and have to fear nothing and accept him and dealing with that. possibility. lee and michael live in yorkshire but the heart of traditional england the coal mines then the big chemicals industry used to guarantee the prosperity of local people today one third of the region's taxpayers penniless. bilton its people apparently wealthy. it's

expensive houses and for sale signs in this market district on the outskirts of. there's evidence of the crisis every twenty metres. this house isn't for sale but it is mortgaged and the shooter family fighting not to be evicted. this is joel father nigel and his partner kelly. a two hundred me to a big garden which are remnants of the past. once upon a time nigel was a successful man. in twenty years he went from nothing to directing a flourishing small company. to crisis council dealt an entire lifetime's work when the banking crisis hit in two thousand and eight because of my experience at my age. twenty four months keep head down you know

they'll all be over twenty four months you know twenty. days so you think i'll do another year now what changes twenty twelve now nearly over you know what change so christmas is khomeini you know if you just think next year and it's just the daily grind which is. you know if you're looking at five or ten years in austerity. i don't mind working out of which out all my life we're doing fry and they and i will get up every day and would pull. when i don't even get a day or a week and it's you know it's itself. do you think humanity as a whole would benefit from living found parts of the wall g.m.o.

free just to play on the safe side through biotechnology through research through genetic modification we can give those small holder farmers the opportunity to be able to deal with and survive all of those challenges and i believe they should have all of the tools. to limp a torch is on its epic journey to such. one hundred twenty three days. through two thousand one hundred towns and cities of russia. relayed by fourteen thousand people or sixty five thousand killings. in a record setting trip by land air sea and others face.

a limp dick torch relay. on r t r g dot com. to nigel small gold in the sense of everyone pitches in. even his son joel. to the salmonella spending the way down elegant so well with about five years ago. when the recession album but i was company went bust on him it will with him fall in. the fall at the. to pay for everything. nigel has lets three employees go and joel has been working thirty hours a week ever since on top of school. seven pm after closing up the gun center the family is still busy the shooters

regularly organize auctions extra work in order to help make ends meet. but jol is hesitating at fifteen should he carry on working. full time it's not an easy choice especially when the decision could make things even tougher for his family i wanted to go to six. obviously if i went to six. because obviously i'll be there five days a week and i don't think it's normal that people my age the responsibility of things like this. which from my from my view it's quite a benefit from a because obviously being able to stop. it gets me yes me. doing it. once again putting his back into it it's midnight and he's still loading things

into the car boot. thank you very. much. the tomorrow morning joe's dance lessons at half past eight. by over. twenty five days. since twelve year old kids used to work you know hundred years ago. again. they used to do it is a goal to support the families and now with bach almost full circle games and game bottoms away aerials. we wanted to talk to the mayor of dumb because there are about there's a lot being situation. here

. where the first to refuse to answer our questions next to local m.p. and finally the minister for work in duncan smith. turned down our request for an interview. only one british academic will publicly criticize politicians and a certain sector of british society for looking away from the problem. people don't want to talk about the because it's very embarrassing. at the extreme end of poverty loss of every in passing things driving the current management the cuts is the feeling amongst government that they need to look tough so that people who have money to move around the open well will keep on leaving their money and with no investing money in britain because in the british government is tough. it isn't just great britain in fact no european country is taking action against child labor

so who in europe has the wherewithal to fight against this phenomenon. we went to ask the european council a political organization with the mission of assuring human rights and democracy within the european union. we showed extracts from our filming to the human rights commission. interesting way he now seems to discover the severity of the problem i think it's far more widespread than we realize it's done some good work. many people think human rights violations are something that happened elsewhere and not in their own country and they're not they're not ready to look at who are the most vulnerable and most at risk groups within their own societies. we like to think that we we are very developed we have the european social model we have welfare systems we have functioning states and by global standards we are not that . europe's thought it was immune to child labor because it's

conception it's not a solid body of legislation to protect children's rights and now i'm talking very concretely the ways that you can use the european legislation to force countries to . where n.g.o.s bar association. individual activists have realized this will take a long time to go through all of the domestic remedies and then to the european court of human rights but once there is a judgment. that will be very hard for the thirty's to ignore completely when there is a violation of european directives you can also find a country for let's all yes you can send a commission the european commission is not very active in taking its member states before the european court of justice because european court of justice imposes very large fines on companies and member states and so on trust legislation so on but it

has not really done this on many human rights issues. the message is clear politically speaking europe doesn't have the will or desire to make sure member states respect a fundamental right the right to a childhood. when autumn arrives in the fall gary and village of live never get to know and our parents are back at work on the last stage after the harvest packing the dried tobacco. if you are you happy. has she been working hard. not really. they're only interested in money these kids and who have visited the tobacco for you this year put it. into what else in the world yes i'm satisfied they do work hard they listen to me they do what they're told and they also study. just like the gustav's the whole village is

getting ready for the big tobacco sale. so when do the buyers arrive we have to bring our tobacco to a designated area. then it's they are the ones who decide they organize the sale. they fix the price oh yes in half an hour and isn't it possible to negotiate no. i don't think the price for tobacco is fair but it depends on the buyer. anyhow the prices in bulgaria are always low because there aren't any subsidies anymore. a few kilometers from the sale has already begun. one of the main buyers here is. a tobacco multinational. each producer brings his harvest and awaits the verdict

how much per kilo. can you tell me what the lowest and highest price would be. so how much i can say. it's all relative. if this worker has refused it's because the prices are very low from two fifty to four euros per kilo. gary and tobacco is the cheapest in the european union do you work together as a family with the children yes the whole family my wife and children it's our only source of income how many children do you have so i have two children in my village all the children in the fields but nevertheless a so-called employee says the opposite. it's. look it's written here guaranteed not to have used child labor got stuck. now after all any large

child labor is forbidden in our company in summer our inspectors surveyed the fields and they make sure there are no children in the fields. it's forbidden to send children to work it's a company priority it's inadmissible. should therefore have inspectors on the lookout throughout the area. and parents to stop sending the children into the fields. but do they sometimes go back. sometimes they don't go back. because our producers the ones we work with they don't use children. we never came across one inspector finally people change their story big bird if you have a four hector field you need a lot of people so obviously that's going to include children otherwise the yield would be smaller. yes yes they do help those kids but the

important point is that they're not treated badly. just that it's not forced labor . end up admitting the children are working in the fields so who is going to buy the so-called top to back up. what types of cigarettes to produce tobacco for which variants. for. the future we mainly produce for philip morris. he's the principle buyer. so the tobacco produced by children ends up in cigarettes which belong to philip morris in packets of chesterfield merit among other brands which are sold on the global market. on his website however philip morris claims we do not tolerate the illegal employment of children and we do not tolerate forced labor so we called philip morris to. find out if he was aware of these abuses i'd like to

ask you two questions the first one is are you aware of what's happening in bulgaria with so clear that he was being tight labor and if you are. the second one is if you're not aware what are you going to do about it. what this communications representative tries to tell us is that philip morris is financing a foundation against child labor the e.c. l.t. yet the e.c.l. t. is completely financed by tobacco industrialists and while the e.c.l. t. foundation runs its costly programs targeting child labor some of its members

continue to have children work in their fields. in the end philip morris got back to us by email. they read directed us to their website and their statements of good intentions. belgariad england italy but also spain portugal greece and europe there are no longer any countries shielded from child labor just how low are we prepared to sink in order to dig out of the crisis. giovanni dreams of his father will work as a pizza maker again. is carrying on working in the bakery. michael would like to join the british police force. joel has just decided to go to technical college to train as an electrician. can see

herself as a primary school. in her hometown. it was recently revealed that jamie diamond rented out watching him palace and hundreds entertain his close friend tony blair the dinner took place only days before jamie diamond had agreed to give the us department of justice a very small cut got mortgage fraud and oh how the penniless peasants outside buckingham palace gates rejoiced at the impossibly large number of thirteen billion dollars jamie. all hello jamie done.

if you're thinking about an alcoholic drink associated with russia it's probably not going to be one that springs into your head but they've been making it here on the black sea coast for more than two thousand kids and there's an industry which really can compete with the best the rest of the world has to offer i've come to meet some of the people growing the greats and to see if i can find out the secret to the perfect.

war is probably the most complex and difficult human activity. on. the phenomenon of friendly fire probably extends back to the invention of gunpowder. just kill a bunch of people you don't know if you want to see their families there are a us people. reading. this some of the shoots my brother in the leg not intentional because of it because it was night times four in the morning even the best commander was given the mesh sold. for going to make mistakes does this whole idea of brotherhood an author and camaraderie in this sense it was in this context that has absolutely no place.

i think. we're going to go digital the price is the only industry specifically mentioned in the constitution and. that's because a free and open press is critical to our democracy albus. role. in fact the single biggest threat facing our nation today is the corporate takeover of our government and across several we've been hijacked lying handful of transnational corporations that will profit by destroying what our founding fathers once built up my job market and on this show we reveal the big picture of what's actually going on in the world we go beyond identifying the problem try to fix rational debate in a real discussion critical issues facing america to find a job ready to join the movement then walk a little bit to. put
