A thing of the past in europe or so one thought its back in the fields of italy the victims are mostly migrants almost one hundred thousand arrived on the italian coast this year alone in search of a better life many did not survive the journey. And for those who made it the plight continues more and more end up on huge plantations in southern italy where they toil seven days a week in human conditions without water electricity or adequate food some of those responsible have now been formally charged with enslavement all reporter went there to find out how this could have happened in modern day europe. The grand ghetto near italy Southern City of fudge is home to some fifteen hundred people during harvest time although home is hardly the right word the migrant laborers from africa live here in appalling conditions they earn up to a maximum of twenty euros a day not enough to afford a proper place to live. Boys on board three of us sleep here. Uses the kitchen or we make food. We have some rice. And some. And thats it. Recently the water supply was cut off here but the migrants stayed anyway partly because they are not the only ones who depend on their meager wages say im an avid if i dont work here who is going to feed my children in africa sometimes i send two hundred euros home sometimes one hundred fifty if i earn two hundred i keep one hundred and send a hundred back. So im trying to i know. In many of southern italy plantations its day laborers from africa who do much of the work they come here in their thousands modern day slaves exploited by unscrupulous farmers in the town of nardo in a poorly Police Video Shows the ramshackle accommodation given to Foreign Workers many of those who are forced to sleep here never saw any wages even though they worked for months. State prosecutors call it and slave meant a crime that italy has only introduced in recent years the slave holders in this case where the foreman. And a couple of. The foreman decided when and what they could eat. Where and what they could drink and he sold everything for an exorbitant price. A small bottle of mineral water cost three euro. A bread roll three euros fifty and even though twenty five people were taken to work on one truck each one had to pay five euros for the journey that a gene. A police raid resulted in the arrest of twenty people eleven of them received prison sentences ranging up to eleven years each. They included a farmer and a number of foreman. This man known as giuseppe the tunisian was especially brutal their victims have yet to receive compensation could still lives and nardo but hes never seen any money for his work after he testified in court its been difficult for him to find work and hes even received threats. You always tell me i should be. I we are there. Only tell me secretly please be long. In other words keep well away from us. So if you have to says you have to understand what is going on. You get what im talking yeah i think hes. Away from the public eye illegal slums have mushroom and this ghetto in southern italy is the largest in the country its not possible to film here openly the nigerian mafia control everything here they get it was right next to the village of boggo metz a known local people feel the government has let them down they live side by side with thousands of african slave like laborers. The black people dont buy anything maybe they spend thirty or fifty cents ok but they just take our money they dont bring it. Theyve taken a work away from all those who used to work in the fields or in the factories and now its only black people working everywhere. Every day the ghetto grows moving a little closer to. The italian authorities are unable to cope the farmers are happy for the cheap labor leaving local residents frustrated and angry. Because everythings changed they used to come in empty the rubbish and sweep the streets now and no one comes anymore. Were just left to our own devices theres nothing we can do. About it and we. Couldnt move away even if i wanted to no one would buy my house or at least not for a reasonable market price why doesnt the state just buy my house and the houses of all the people who want to move away. Then the state can do what it wants but does that anyway they could offer the village to the migrants. Why dont we create a village for the migrants. The problem extends right across southern italy in calabria its time for the orange harvest parts of italian agriculture are firmly in the hands of the and. The mafia african refugees are exploited here as a matter of course one reason why journalists are not welcome out in the fields. But one worker agrees to talk to us he explains how the farmers manage to bypass italian labor laws. Thats it so one of these boxes full of men the rings and you one euro you if you have ten boxes you get ten euros on saturday and sunday we working at the road the regulators dont work on those days. So then we pick everything along the road. Then on monday we move further back why. Because thats when they do checks the people here do have contracts but of course not proper ones. Another problem because many of the migrant laborers dont have proper documentation they dont have Health Insurance so doctors from the Aid Organization emergency treat them for free the most common problem diagnosed in this clinic is malnourishment they say things here are almost as bad as in parts of africa. They often sleep right alongside seven or eight other people in one room or tent. If one of them gets an infection and intestinal a respiratory infection its very likely all the others will get it to. Me. Yet people keep coming from africas poorest countries and crisis hit regions part of the reason for that is a surprising one and especially tragic template of Everyone Wants to live here because we only send photos of the nice things venice. Rome. And when you go back to africa and take nice clothes with you all your friends think its a good place to earn a living. But the reality is different. This year alone over one hundred thousand migrants have arrived in italy how many of them have returned home is not no. This and the recent reports on libya slave trade are a reminder of the continuing challenges faced by refugees the influx of refugees remains one of the Biggest Challenges facing europe yet the continent is already struggling with many of its own selfimposed problems take brags that for instance as a deadline for britain to quit the e. U. Approaches irelands border has been one of the trickiest sticking points of the negotiations as it stands now there are no borders and customs controls between Member States ireland and Northern Ireland which is part of the u. K. But this could all change with it and irish businesses across all industries could suffer like tourism tourguide brett heron is already feeling left out in the cold. Dublin is usually a popular Tourist Destination in october but today hardly anyone is aboard brand here and sightseeing boss british visitors to ireland have become rare the looming breaks it has had negative consequences for british buying power abroad.

Territory. James quinn runs a freight business with nine drivers once breaks it takes effect trucking to and from europe will take much longer and cost him more money. I think maybe here is the time to change it and we already. You know i often say its like a horse race where we are going to have a two and a half mile of there are a four kilometer radius to get to somewhere like brussels around two or four or cologne but if youre in mainland europe in holland or belgium or germany youre much closer to the center we are constantly are fighting this battle through to arrive at the finished post at the same time as everybody else it takes an hour to get from dublin to the border with Northern Ireland queen takes us off the highway to show us the border. Its barely noticeable. So now once again were in Northern Ireland and as you can see weve crossed and its a pretty seamless route to what were going to go to weve seen a note of the sort of the burning north divergence of the burning all the time and the only way you can tell is by the difference in the road markings and the road signs and pretty much this is how it is once you need the height with the whole wheat to border the border dont you go all over three hundred fifty kilometers and. Here in the border is actually visible it looks like a memorial site its supposedly the only place where old border facilities still exist. Theyre going to have to come to life in some form or other just going to be controls where the people like it or not the notion that you can leave this whole highway open with no controls as the back door to the you is just is just a non runner no matter what the british think theres going to be cost was present here and of course was present here were going to have paperwork i had trucks in switzerland literally on paperwork and expense was a nightmare and the swiss have been our neighbors for over fifty years since the inception of the you so you would think they would have a down there down to a fine art but it was anything but a fine art it was difficult and it was time consuming and it was troublesome and the border close at lunchtime saturday. Hundreds of Midsized Companies will have to contend with the consequences of bricks it could heal engineering is one of them the companys ten employees produce steel and other metal machine parts. Jerry macintyre founded the company twenty five years ago hes worried that breaks it could mean the company wont survive. Like this project thats all heres a cast of the many im plans as castling and the cop made by its so important here i am ashamed of for them their fix of two holes those rubber holes the sec support of all over the war. And as a judgment here it is ninety five percent of our materials even i use coming through in the middle of a farming. Todays workday is over. But nobody knows if the company will have to fold after bricks. Many irish are frustrated as modern sounds on the sadness force yes you know my whole lifestyle openness and all. The modernists is because somebody has to say that the new europe will be heavily penalized you know and we feel like you know once again the british only call the British Government is holding us to ransom. Nobody consulted the irish before voting for banks it even though they might pay the highest price economically and politically. Its been more than twenty years since homosexuality was to criminalized in russia yet it is believed to be one of the hardest countries in europe for gay people to live in surveys reveal that much of the russian public endorse criminal prosecution of lesbians and gays and that many people consider homosexuality to be a disease if they demonstrate for their rights as seen here in St Petersburg it usually doesnt take long before the Security Services crack down on them swiftly and severely. Our correspondent youre a shuttle met a young woman in St Petersburg who shared her very personal story of what it was like to come out as a lesbian to her parents. In that you knew that before they ran around shouting stupid lesbian and told me to drop dead boards they attacked me out of sheer hate. While dancing i met people with whom i felt comfortable with it. But since the war most of them are either bisexual or lesbian that gives me a feeling of freedom. Or the. Moment when i told my mother she cried a lot although block a longer. Look at the bushel. It was a shock you just you go through something which honestly i even felt a certain physical aversion. To the she should lose my god my daughters a freak a monster or. Something unpleasant at any rate. And what should i tell other people. There are a few who must never find out not under any circumstances yet these are still not god i can see she wants to understand me but cant her generation was raised in the soviet era. With a lot of physicists and that is one time we were on holiday in greece there were some pilgrims by a monastery. Suddenly one woman fell to her knees and crawled to the monastery to. Perhaps it was a ritual so god would help heal a sick Family Member then i thought if someone told me crawling on my knees would make my daughter well again i do it it will. Last and that that i get with the russian reaction is brutal. Some parents want to disown their children and throw them out of the house. An acquaintance was almost killed by her father he beat her violently thats what. My classmates found out when i was fourteen they spit at me hit me whacked me on the head with a full backpack humiliated and insulted me. Just because i was an utter despair. All i did was cry i thought my life was over. Homosexuality is viewed as something dishonorable here society takes an aggressive stance against it when i know i cant handle it anymore ill probably leave the country. Just what a pity you. They keep their children out of school and bathe them more than twenty times a day yet theyre allowed to live peacefully unchallenged in the Czech Republic the controversial religious sect the twelve tribes left neighboring bavaria after charges of child abuse saw police placed seven of their children with foster families they have no quietly were settled just over the border in the sleepy czech town of skala. Just behind the czech german border lies the czech town of school now its a century for the christian fundamentalist twelve tribes sect scorners mayor finds nothing wrong with that. It would be problematic if they tried to tell or convince others to live like them but to my knowledge thats not the case. On. This twelve tribes propaganda video advertises the sex principles of parenting it openly supports physically punishing and beating children. Was wise fathers use a sin piece of fried to keep their offspring on the right path. The twelve tribes sect was taken to court for child abuse in germany where it was previously based. All but apply or used to be a member of the sect for twenty years then he left because he didnt want to use Corporal Punishment on his kids. Government why couldnt keep living like that i had to get myself and my kids out of there with them in one community or. Right inside the sect was cruel as this undercover footage from a t. V. Journalist from several years ago documents. Back then the twelve tribes were still based in southern germany. Before going into Corporal Punishment sure a child might get slapped now and then but for children to be regularly beaten twenty or twenty five times a day no ones ever admitted that the holes in. The player could take it no more and then a Police Investigation began leading to one of the sects teachers receiving a two year sentence for child abuse after which the twelve tribes opted to leave germany. We wanted to meet the sect in scorn or to find out if they changed their ways our interview request was ignored so we traveled there anyway and did manage to speak to one of its members. He expresses surprise at our request when we insist that we spoke to a colleague of his the day before he only offers that we send him a list of our questions he refuses to answer any of our questions on the spot. The twelve tribes dont want to give a Public Statement to talk school news residents have heard rumors about the sect but they remain tolerant. I dont mind them theyve done nothing to offend me they go to work and they have every right to live their lives like anyone else. I met some of them at a playground and we started chatting about their face and so on. That one of the new simonis that ive got a problem or them are kind of strange that they never come outside i dont know what to make of them you know. We talk to school this priest people to live no to see what he thinks of the controversial sect he said he was shocked when he first heard about them. Then reagans borgs bishop reassured him the twelve tribes cause no trouble and then the lipner told us theyre doing everything to fit into the local community. Yet the no. One time i didnt know why they walked around school now with plastic bags in their hands. Who calmness but becoming someone from the town i think it was a mayor told me they wanted to do something for the local town they live in. Who do not need saw. So they decided to clean the rubbish off the streets every friday with. Thats what the sects founder. You should get out there collect rubbish and then people will hold you in high esteem lloyd propaganda methods like these distract people from whats really happening inside of iraq. And its working in school no nobodys asking questions about whats going on inside the sect and that. Was a problem in germany as well for far too long. The twelve tribes sect are active worldwide. From the field to the plate vegetable should be grown and sold locally say environmentalists and if possible without gaining too many food miles experts said this is not only good for the environment but preserves vitamins but is this even possible in the middle of a large and bustling city like london agricultural pioneers who grow vegetables and herbes there say yes im in a place that had a completely different purpose some seventy years ago thirty three meters below the ground. Fresh greens are not the first thing that comes to mind while walking through londons concrete jungle but in the district of clapham thirty three meters underground its a sea of green. Overhead the two brussels past underneath herbs sprout fennel coriander and broccoli are growing in this old World War Two bomb shelter now its found a new purpose thanks to steven during and his partners at growing underground. They use their green thumbs and infrared lamps to create a feast for the taste buds where possible they employ Energy Saving l. E. D. Lights the plants grow on cocoa quarter bricks watered with the nutrient solution you need to control the environment and thats exactly what we do doing here we have control over the heat over the life over the watering regime over the humidity so we can provide the plants exactly what they want twenty four sevenths three hundred sixty five days a year and they can be delivered to local restaurants or markets within four hours of being harvested so they taste fresh but they cost no more than conventionally grown veggies. After three years they expect to be in the black soon with more and more People Living in cities its a Global Concept that works locally. Were looking at different sites within the u. K. Come to grow light in the next eighteen months and were idea identifies. So its crossed so play by the u. S. Europe and asia as well say. What youre through that breakeven point and youve proved the model but what do folks up here think about the stuff grown down below on the ground all this amazing. Well. I love the country and you know that would be nice if they say happiness but i dont know whether people would favor the idea of things being in a more natural environment. The underground gardeners aim to convince with the quality of their green theyve already overcome bigger problems like the weekend partiers who once got into the tunnel and trampled all over their produce. Its a way to bring more fresh vegetables to more people that i say go for it thank you for watching goodbye. Cool move. They move like. And soon theyll even know how we feel. Oh im not a real person im still just in pieces so. Scientists around the world are working to measure our emotions. So hopefully i can be helpful piece assaulting. A virtual person as a therapist for a robotic as a teacher nice to have human empathy what does a machine need to do to create empathy and a medical context what i disclose more information to a person or to a computer in this case. A few years and lets it feelings on the instruments that steer us and whoever can control these feelings has great power over us to modify its algorithms instead of feelings measuring.
