Cancer kills maker Gordon Nicholson breaks it is no laughing matter britains imminent exit from the e. U. Is already hurting business so a complete outfit costs around a 1000. 00 pounds but now his clients are hesitant to place orders due to the ongoing uncertainty but killed maker is fed up with britains politicians he believes Prime Minister barak is johnsons brand said plans are plunging the u. K. Into chaos. Leaving the e. U. Theres. We dont know whats going to happen we have no idea no deal or tree is being put in place so we are just hoping that things are going to be ok thats not the way to run a country its not a way to run a business for many scots the kilt is an expression of their own identity or even of their own nation membership in a Scottish National party has been rising for it and according to a recent poll some 52 percent of scots and now in favor of Scottish Independence. Also sees this as the right move. We have determined nation and we have shown over the years that we are innovating and as we were independent not strength of character and strength of belief in what we we can produce and believe in would certainly take us through. While many scots are turning their backs on britain this sentiment is especially strong in the scottish capital in the 2014 referendum on Scottish Independence some 2 thirds of voters in edinburgh voted to stay in the u. K. But since the breaks of vote the mood has changed dramatically. Well educated young people in particular dont want to see their career paths blocked due to breaks it. Finlay mcfarland spent a semester studying in the Czech Republic and recently travelled across europe by train he feels the British Government has let him down. Whole new demographic of people are starting to question actually maybe independence is the way forwards and especially voting for young people like me like getting your vote for the future of scotland are we stuck with another conservative Prime Minister and didnt vote for and thats been going on for years and years and years now and how is that fair out of the u. K. Into the e. U. That would be a big mistake at least according to this Scottish Labor Party m. P. Independents at this moment in time is possibly the worst moment you could be contemplating it and it would it would actually magnify the consequences that were facing a because it breaks it the other fundamental point is what what precedent is that that established in terms of allowing a seceding states and i think that will be a question in a lot of government and governments minds across europe. Not to mention that the British Parliament would have to consent to scotland. With. And drug has also been rocked by several weeks of demonstrations ahead of showed local elections the authorities initially responded with Massive Force and violent detentions although the mood has calmed somewhat in the meantime the demonstrators are calling for opposition candidates to be allowed to stand in the election itself or they were prevented from being quote on the ballot and among those taking part in the protests is a very different agents as we see now in this report from moscow. Maria as mir of his fearless the 67 year old may have trouble walking but she still being taken to the streets of moscow with a relative constantine every weekend for nearly 2 months now even after the Russian Police responded with muscle rests theres your own right that. When candidates are barred from elections and basic democratic rights are violated she says you have to protest i. Put a bowl of yard even if im half dead or have to crawl ill take part in every protest that can prevent the destruction of my country and my people. Because thats what im seeing here the praise and the propaganda on television wont stop me. Getting it. Which is not demonstrating maria spends her days lying down the former teacher has rheumatism and as an almost constant pain she stopped watching the state t. V. Channels years ago she says because its all lies she prefers critical online media and opposition bloggers like politician alexei navalny. Maria grew up in a politically active family in the soviet union and its hoped a very different system would replace it but she says the Current Situation in russia is just as repressive as the former regime. I knew well good that the alinsky im what a government can do whatever it wants with whomever it once it can hit anyone at any time and you havent you know they can take away your property or even your freedom consequence of it can happen to anyone at all even to those loyal to the government. The because of theyre in danger of losing custody of their youngest son theyve been accused of taking them along to demonstrations Many Russians are shocked that the government would take such extreme measures. We love our children very much. And we hope that this case doesnt tear our family apart she took. Over a dozen protesters have been taken to court for allegedly inciting mass uprising a protests in recent weeks observers say the state is using the trials as a show of strength that means that you need to do to go many of these trials giving the impression theyre not prosecuting with the aim of reaching a verdict its like theyre prosecuting just so they can arrest search and interrogate people to intimidate them the rest doesnt matter i guess the russian president Vladimir Putin defends the harsh methods of police and the courts the comparisons to france and the yellow vest demonstrations. So we just we all know how things went with the yellow vests during these demonstrations in france by our estimates 11 people lost their lives we dont want anything like that to happen in the russian capital and well make every effort to ensure our domestic situation remains strictly within the framework of the law. But maria reznor of a says the protests were all held within the framework of the law. She always greets the police and special forces that the demonstrations with a smile because she says the russian people must be united not divided shes determined to keep fighting for basic democratic rights at all costs. More. So its my duty. I feel like a criminal like a sinner if i didnt take to the streets. Now they can even load wheelchairs into police cars i dont think id survive if i got arrested. But the risk is justified. Maria as mayor of a sign says hold violators of the constitution accountable. Whenever rights are floated and russia shed like to see ever more people put their fears aside to take the streets and protest just like her. What a brave woman after all a russian cold just sentenced a protester to 3 years in jail after finding him guilty of using violence against a Police Officer thats an opposition rally this summer. Now on a different note the people of poland have been commemorating the outbreak of the 2nd world war that came when germany invaded their country on september the 1st 1939 the 1st time gates of the german aggression with the vesta plants a peninsula in the port city of dun siege and the small town of a loan which was struck by a devastating air raid around the hospital now while historians dispute precisely which of the attacks came 1st sophia book is still tormented by memories of that terrible morning 80 years ago. Him on his war huge ripper through thousands of feet of work actions got remembers it like it was yesterday. When the germans attacked poland she was 11 years old when we got that more read a startling number c. F. My mom told me get up we need to get out and i was in bed in my nightgown that ashtray when suddenly we heard a loud roaring sound the ceiling started to crack the windows were blown out of our bedrooms when near where the 1st bombs were dropped the bomb. During several waves of attacks dive bombers of the german lift dropped bombs onto the lawn the small town was unprotected defenseless the attack from the skies was a war crime it was a precursor of the nazis goal of total annihilation which characterized the war. The pharmacy run by sophia book a family opposite the church on the Market Square was completely burned down. Sophias father a polish soldier held onto a few photos they were all that remained was laid on my father had these photos with him while he was in captivity. Every sunday he would write a couple of lines on them. This one reads sunday 1939 germany and i think of you all the time. That i missed. This and. At that point he wasnt sure if i was still alive. One of these photos showing her brother in front of the hospital became a symbol for this suffering they endured. So he shows us the road where the photo was taken the clinic was attacked 1st a violation of the geneva convention. It had dramatic consequences for the survivors of the air raid ready ready ready. Dr marion was 5 years of age when the war started. Later he examined the survivors for long term psychological effects of the war. Thats a vanity. I was part of a committee for disabled persons there i kept examining people who the selections were a consequence of their experiences during the air raid in russia. Now they were unable to work. In the month. After the war the suffering of the citizens was not addressed by the communist government for decades the german attack undone sic was officially recognized as the start of the 2nd world war but it was another witness of the attack on. A nick who pointed out that the bombing of the small town actually marked the start of the war he was 4 years old when he saw. Later he studied history and as a historian pressed for the acknowledgement of the suffering of the. Polish armys leadership once answered a letter of mine saying that its not possible as the vest the plot is a symbol for the start of the 2. Because of the polish soldiers bravery you father. The tragedy of feeling hardly suffice to instill a sense of patriotism in the young generation. For the 80th anniversary of world war 2 his outbreak the city museum in vienna is opening a new and larger exhibition. People in poland government and especially historians polish german are revealing more and more details the tragedy of. German major general. Was responsible for the attack he had previously ordered the bombing of spain by dive bombers of the condor legion well danika became a world renowned symbol of civilian suffering he alone is still looking for its place mari and hopes for reconciliation between the poles and germans. Today the germans are completely different people than back then. Different to. Now weve got the e. U. Were all in the same union now. Were going in the right direction to ensure peace. Move. At 91 years of age sophia book a chance god continues to work in her sons pharmacy. She still has trouble dealing with the past. Us the germans about this they reply that wasnt us the nazis did that. But where did the nazis come from from germany. And if you ask me whether or not i can forgive you know im trying but i dont believe the germans. What if this were to happen here all over again. 80 years after the start of the 2nd world war many poles feel that the air raid on and germanys attack on their country has still not been suitably dealt with in german polish relations. Now think of italy and you my country are up images of extended families joyously eating and celebrating together with lots of ben beating children the focus of attention that is all sadly a thing of the past todays italy is a chronically aging society with a plummeting birth rate that is among the lowest in the world in the plot so keiji a new government might soon take up office the 66000 almost 74 years but women like louisas that are much a have little hope saying that down the years its elisa thora hes have broken all the promises theyve made so mothers and families. Shes the apple of louises i one year old livia who she affectionately calls the bit about his her only grandchild every year her family spends the hot summer weeks at the seaside just outside rome no no we misses the lively sound of children and extended families playing and relaxing used to be so common in italy i mean it is a significant issue what do we sacrifice so much for. So its all pointless if there are no children or grandchildren to pass it on to. Italys demographics have changed for years the birth rate here has been one of the lowest in europe none of the easy even counts are self lucky to have one granddaughter her daughter celina was 39 years old when livia was born. So the who works at an airport thinks the lack of children can be blamed on politicians she says no government in the last 20 years has prioritized modern family policies to support working mothers that under the there are no structures in place if i had a nursery at the airport in rome or i could bring my child during working hours to not have gone back to work a day after giving birth 7 i would doubt it but i couldnt order possible the weser things her children arent determined enough like many young italian she says spend that theyre afraid to take their lives into their own hands her son enrico works in a pharmacy he doesnt have a family of his own. Nor my childrens generation has no more real prospects and they have no convincing vision for the future. And not just because theres less work nowadays and not just because the state is making life harder young italians have lost the will power that used to be so characteristic in this country. Back in the day louisa loves watching movies from her childhood when children were still a priority for many a towering ends and everything seemed to be looking up because there were 2 instead of 2 but i still remember how my aunts used to look at us how they would huggers children tightly loved us and they gave us the feeling that through us life was beginning once again. So whats gone wrong in adelaide sociologist say that during the last 2 decades generations they are have swapped roles. Today the younger dont support the old he really is the other way around grandparents passed on houses or property to their kids or pay their grandchildrens nursery costs with their pensions diety he boarded a long alyse. On average Italian Women are 33 when they give birth thats older than in any other european country both men and women often dont view children as a blessing anymore they see them as a burden let me get you into the future. With taxes and expenses life is complicated enough in the few free hours you have left every day you have to spend time recovering or thinking of your own needs a little you going out with friends having kids puts an end to all that. But luis is son and rico likes being an uncle and visits his sister and niece whenever possible family is important to him but he doesnt want children of his own instead the 42 year old pops in for lunch at his moms house every day just before starting his shift. You know its early and i cant really see either my son or my daughter realizing their dreams so they know when to university but what does she have now a badly paying job at an airline i had to support her financially for many years and that the irish get married now. And enrico this is nothing i had a different future in mind for him to be needed so. Luisa is disappointed in italy a country thats gone through 66. 00 governments in 74 years she says all they did was produce crisis after crisis and have done little for the countrys future and the future of her children and her beloved grandchild. Now its shocking to know that many species of wild bees along with a wide range of other insects are increasingly facing extinction well in a bid to tackle the problem people in the dutch city of outraged have come up with a great idea transforming bus stops in to be stopped so whats it all about well with the help of one of the threats being stopped keeping weve been finding out. Lately the whole family never has been lighting as a guard not. His real job is to maintain bus stops in the city of. But now hes a busy stop keep it here to.

The 6 square meter rooftop is covered with see them make it a very hardy perennial also known as gold must stonecrop all wool pepper it can survive on very little water even in the hottest summer and freezing temperatures in winter dont kill it either the roof has been turned into a small island of green in the city that is tracks a range of insects. You know as a as you can see here the wasp is just provide one of our spare great army of our. Maintaining about shelter costs about 2000 euros a year 200 move with greenery added on top so increase it around 10 percent but who tries to get something in return for stop the boredom for the year for the pilot lance absorb particular matter. Because they keep looming from around april to september they also provide food for babies and other insects for the. Little bit and other insects. Green huffy and intelligent that entrenched self confident slogan and the city council clearly takes it seriously its given 316 by shelters green roofs transforming them into big stops. And the locals are happy with the results. So its a good idea to use public space so effectively for the environment. There may be just to make people more environmentally conscious and to understand how small steps can contribute to changing things very sobering and if its a new its a Nice Initiative it looks good and promotes biodiversity. Status thats positive. In july when the goal most unquote was in bloom images of the bus shelters where a hit on instagram and that inspired others to follow. The city has now received inquiries from all over the world from australia to mexico to ukraine. This is the council is proud just becoming a role model for other incentives and has already thinking about greening up other public spaces but i have also from a to always set aside a little funding to help private citizens and companies plant the spaces folks can also join together with their neighbors to make it a collaborative effort. The Maintenance Team travels from one bus stop to the next in an eco friendly electric vehicle the costs of tending the greenery are covered by ad revenue and havent been added to the prices of tickets. And passengers dont have to worry about getting stung the bees buzz about and the people below. The sophomore have never been stung i leave them to get on with it i do my thing here and they do various things and somehow we work together. And its systems. To take shows that sometimes a small idea can have a big impact. Great stuff and you could almost call those bus stops buzz stops and it all once again just goes to show that greening our cities can be so simple we really should be doing more of it and thats all from focus on europe this time around thanks so much for joining us to come back next time and until then bye bye truth i.
