The debate gets heated well away from the big arenas and famous matadors are the socalled best around to festivals where small calves are killed by young bull fighters the animals present no real threat but they are nevertheless killed for spectacle well bullfighting is banned in most countries an animal activist in spain wanted to be outlawed there too they see killing defenseless animals as barbarism but there are those who have a different view some see it as part of the countrys Cultural Heritage and argue it should be protected well our reporter went to san rafael where the conflict is playing out. These one year old bull calves will soon be the Main Attraction in a blood thirsty spectacle. Its to be held in san Rafael Serena 50 kilometers northwest of madrid. But just before the bull fight begins the mood on the streets turns ugly for the 1st time the bulls wont be killed in the arena. I think the police should have to die this time too much of a little knowledge that its not fun this way theyve always been killed they would fight their big injuries the part let us come into play on everything. The dispute flared up a gear ago Animal Protection activists took videos of the best out of the bull fight with calves. The young men traditionally celebrate their coming of age by fighting a bullet a bull calf under 2 years of age. Activist sylvie about a ghetto says the custom is inhumane a bull calf fight to the death is a long an agonizing. Process of as the becker ratable fights are especially cruel because books whose homes are still small get tormented to death by the villagers often young inexperienced people who turn the fight into an absolute bloodbath then are that i dont think i got anything. The activist filed a lawsuit and the community had to pay a fine now theyre confronting the mayor and demanding that he cancel the bet other completely cameras are not allowed at the discussion and the mayor refuses a request for an interview. They eventually arrive at a decision the both fire will go ahead but this time the bullets wont be killed in the arena. Most of the villagers see this as a defeat they regard it as a threat to their tradition. Many of them are so outraged that they even start to threaten the camera crew. Or are there. Any other words i delete that video cross match your camera i am not that it is not. The showdown as between Animal Rights and tradition spain is divided on the issue in some areas bullfighting has lost its popularity and its even been banned antonio nautica covers both fighting for spains leading newspaper he says only people who live the centuries old tradition can understand it and that will save a lot locally coffee on all fighting has very deep roots in the villages of certain regions in spain or of little brother that its rooted in the people other regions though find it hard to relate to it because it was never a tradition there. For the little brother did not get it right. The bull isnt just Spains National symbol its also an economic factor over a 1000 breeders specialized in wild cattle especially for both fighting. What had gone as works on a ranch near seagal via many of the bulls he sells of all ages are for village festivals the breeders could hardly get by on just breeding bulls for the professional bull fights. Then with your i never learned to do anything else i guess and i grew up in the country you have to feel it to live it from the birth of the car to the fixing of the attack. The bullfights banished from the festivals ill go bust as will many of my fellow breeders and their operations with them. Down there on the. Back of the arena of san rafael the lances have been blunted and no blood has been spilled this time even so the bull calves repeatedly collapse from terror and exhaustion. This is just one reason sylvia better get on her Animal Protection group one of vents like this band out right she has fellow activists observe the fight in secret it would be too dangerous for her to try that herself when. I mean ive even had Death Threats with if we show our faces in the villages people get aggressive and start abusing us actually if theyre so proud of what theyre doing we ought to be able to openly show our faces in the arena. Instead they threaten us and chases away. But both fighting fans also feel threatened theyre afraid the activists will succeed in having a centuries old tradition banned they react to the activists like a bull would to a red rag. She up in a its sad its no longer how used to be everythings different. Flights will disappear or not this year but 0 i dont think well have them anymore well get over he was one of. Hundreds of bullet fighters still held all over spain every year sometimes the calf survives in san rafael a calf leaves the arena exhausted but a life for the 1st time. But it wont be for long its taken straight to the slaughterhouse. The heat wave in europe this summer has broken records and Scientists Say the temperatures will only become war intense as water levels rise in many places Global Warming is threatening to return the land to the sea the crumbling coastlines of britain have been called a ticking time bomb in the welsh village of fairborn authorities are considering giving up defending the community against the Climate Crisis they plan to completely dismantle the village leaving its residents like mike russell homeless and without any financial compensation. Mike russell has the seed right at his doorstep hes a dedicated angler whos lived on the coast of wales for over 40 years right now the ira seeds bright and sunny but the people here have seen their share of storm surges. Mikes house stands right behind this dike its held them against wind and tide so far its hard to realize that. With rising sea levels all this could be gone. They say in these little as 50 years its hard to believe. Travelling is a Seaside Village of about a 1000 people and say the experts doomed by Climate Change several 1000000 pounds have gone to build dams and dikes to protect the houses from the sea. But now the welsh north origins are throwing in the towel and calling on the villagers to find new homes. When measuring the sea levels in the area across the north wales coast im way off finding evidence that sea levels are rising that reality and so before i make such strophe happens before anything big happens we really really need to be making sure that people are aware of those risks and that were talking to them and in. Valving them solutions. But what solutions can there possibly be mike and its partner see their lives and their home at stake and lots of money. Quite amazing how the situation is already its not a simple for them as it is for pensioners to buy a new house elsewhere recently learned they feel the state has left them holding the bag future the fact is that they have no answers for us they cant tell us where they got the movers they cant tell us when theyre going to move us theres no Financial Support no compensation or tool and the sting in the title to the us is if they insist that everybody moves out. They would expect mike to light pay for the demotion and also his hosts. Council chairman stuart eads who runs a camping ground in fairborn said its also gay mongering like many in the community he doesnt trust the data. Whats all public about you know that theres other villages beside us that are in the same mess but we are the one the experiment is being followed so were the 1st one to see how will help people react to everything its true that pheromone going to be the only town to faith imminent danger in coming years over 30 communities in wales alone are dealing with erosion and flooding from rising seas. And infrastructure such as rail and power lines and roads are also what risk the problem is a massive financial time bomb for britains coasts climate experts say. They cant leave it to local authorities because weve had 10 years of austerity austerity local authorities are crippled already in delivering services that budgets are being slashed what this is a huge huge issue thats affecting our whole country and it cannot be left to the individual authorities that are already struggling to eat. I deliver the solution i need to make us nations and not. The residents a fair bone complain that everyones simply passing the buck. Mike and angela say the prospect of a forced evacuation is always hanging over their heads theyre hoping to stay in their current house as long as they possibly can trigger a problem. Meanwhile the historic steam train keeps carrying tourists through the village the tracks run right behind the dike which in future will no longer be reinforced or expanded. Which effectively seals fairborn spent. This is what your looked like 30 years ago to military alliances fighting for influence as the iron curtain divided the continent well that all changed when people in the eastern bloc rebelled including the former czechoslovakia well today the Czech Republic is a shining example of the Successful Transition from socialism to capitalism economy is thriving and it has the lowest Unemployment Rate in the e. U. So why are so many checks unhappy our reporter visited the country to look behind the picture perfect facade. Prague in all its glory every day hordes of tourists flock to the czech capital snapping endless selfies and throng the chiles bridge and the citys medieval squares and lanes with its stunning historical architecture and landscapes world famous beers and hearty traditional food the Czech Republic to be a Central European star but many checks a deeply dissatisfied but why.

For work. I must have missed that course the. Between 1991992 shot some bird served as the director of president hobbles chancellery later he became the czech foreign minister he comes from a wealthy family that owns land all over europe yet he says that today too much of the Czech Republic is in foreign hands. The bug the banks Financial Institutions and large parts of our industry are no longer in the hands of Czech Companies the theyre owned by german dutch french korean and japanese ones instead. He says he understands why many czech people complain about low wages and a large share of the earnings go to the Parent Companies abroad. People are angry about that oh. Here.

There also said a lot of people if i joined the action of dissatisfied citizens back then we were hoping for a fresh start without the baggage of the past but with backing from the entire political spectrum. But in the end nothing has changed in an ironic parallel to the events of late 1989 hundreds of thousands of people are back on the streets again accusing the current leadership of corruption and abuse of power they say Prime Minister andre foundation was also the leader of our no has embezzled millions of euros of e. U. Funds and obstructed any investigation into the allegations thats why many chicks are harking back to that sub harvell the former dissident turned president who was well known for his integrity and honesty.
