Its 9 30 am at a coffee shop in nuri where folks are once again scratching their heads about the latest developments in the bracket saga. People are following the Political Drama in london closely the majority of voters here voted remain and still want to stay in the e. U. Some are enjoying the spectacle. Were watching the british just making fools of themselves and wishing to break that you know were giving imperial fiores this one fortunately for them not only just so. We have much enjoyed. I but others like the cafes owner are angry. Graham finnegan has invested a lot of time and money in his new business but bricks it hangs like the sword of damocles over his head and has for a long while. Yeah absolutely sick to death of record because im sick to death of the ineptitude and they are against hope that british governments im sick David Cameron trees in the. Forest of the food johnson. Take me for people in the north of ireland. Outside big trucks thunder by as near relies on a major transport route between dublin and belfast what will become of the free trade of goods will border checks be reintroduced there are many questions but no answers. Yet some in the cafe support brecks it. Didnt we had an election that said ok thats it like were leaving and its sort of prolonged and thats one excuse after the other and when sam forced johnsons biggest fan but he seems to be rocking a lot of posts and its at least a basic concept on. These young bankers worried about the drop in the value of sterling the weakness of the british pound is also a problem for graham finnegan. He orders coffee beans from berlin in barcelona and pays in europes foods like this fresh salmon come from the republic of ireland. Hes unsure whether his suppliers will deliver after breakfast. But that snow. His biggest worry. For People Living on the border but the real threat here isnt more expensive gays in the supermarket but the actual threats to peace in this country. Shares his concern. She experienced the bloody conflict in Northern Ireland known as the troubles firsthand in the 1980 s. Now shes tweeted excerpts of the diary she kept as a teenager. Is making people anxious i think especially older people who live through the troubles and you know what its like. Part of us maybe wants to feel it can never really go back to that trait of silence. Going to make a task he wants to show us what happened back then she says at one time miri had the highest rate of bomb attacks during the troubles more than 50 people were killed here. Today its hard to believe that civil war like conditions played the city. All the shops are boarded up because you couldnt. Touch. The shops there was shootings on a pretty regular basis army patrols army checkpoints. Back at the cafe graham finnegans young son comes by after school. Graham hopes that his boy and other children in newry will grow up in the united europe not a deeply divided United Kingdom. Affordable housing is becoming increasingly scarce in european cities the places that are popular with tourists are especially hard hit like barcelona which is one of spains Top Destinations while more and more apartments are being rented out to visitors and its the residents who are paying the price 1. 00 company has found a solution so called beehive apartments are booming in barcelona around the size of an Office Cubicle they were originally designed to accommodate tourists but the lack of social housing has made the cramped quarters home for some it took up on your lives in barcelona on just 4 square metres wide with this city. This is a sleeping box its pretty tight but its basically almost a room with. When i think of all the essentials for it we both. Will get the covered tummy and meaning for this box he pays 200. 00 euros per month next door a small shared bathroom lounge and kitchen for 24. 00 tenants. Its an emergency solution for ect or a year ago his relationship fell apart and he moved out but he still has to maintain the apartment and support 2 children on an income of a 1000 euros. Oh because im no longer with my family and cant find a full time job i cant even afford a room. When we. Have to take money from my savings every month for the. Barcelona is booming the cost of living is rising. A room costs an average of 500. 00 euros rental apartments are now an affordable for many. Mark only they wants to profit from his business idea called collina or beehive his project living in boxes but as the graffiti at the entrance to his exhibition space shows theres a lot of opposition to it his explanation sounds like an apology if this is the man were going to have thought info about over this system was never intended for the inhabitants of the cities theyre born if you only for travelers for tourists what a few but not for people who live and work in a city or how people who are at the moment are in misery you know for the. People like santiago or take the colombian has lived in barcelona for 2 years he cant even afford a room from sales of his handmade wooden figures so he sleeps in the coalmine a prototype on exactly 2. 64 square metres in a room only 1. 00 metres high no visitors allowed. When i price was the deciding factor but if i can save but its not ideal for living. The project is just beginning says mark only bay he wants to expand together with investors he wants to build a complex with up to 650. 00 sleeping boxes here. He doesnt feel sorry for the residents. This is the lesser evil after all you sleep in a normal but with normal dimensions but you share the place with other people temporarily maybe 2 years unless you can hold out longer. Ingrid leone thinks its outrageous for days the ecuadorian woman has been camping in the outskirts of barcelona she was kicked out of her apartment because she lost her job and couldnt pay the rent. Shes hoping for state assistance living in a sleeping box is out of the question for her. I dont you mean by we dont even live like this in my country you know that is inhuman i cant imagine living like this i dont know thats so depressing you know but thats another side on is that they dont they are. In the meantime an entire organization is fighting along with ingrid against the decline of Affordable Housing e. X. C. Were sees a new threat in the coalmine us from their form though this basically undermines dignified living if they cant call it living. Packed into a box. With their Living Spaces reduced to a minimum that i get theyre not going to want to live like that. I want a boy they really i think. Barcelona city council is also concerned about the coal miners and wants to ban them we dont get an interview but we do get a mail that says the boxes dont meet the minimum required dimensions of living space. Market leave a doesnt agree he says the definitions are not clear cut the coalmine is are a legal gray area in demand is great. He has already received more than 3000 applications the other more. Basically were offering 10 square meters per person. But only 2. 00 in the sleeping box. But all the rest is for everyday life in the common room so when if but i thought for the. Pig to come in your has now become used to it living in the cold manner for more than 6 months now he never thought hed stay this long but until he finds a better job his life has to fit into a box. The recent fires in the amazon have drawn attention to just how crucial forests are for absorbing c o 2 emissions and reducing Global Warming but brazil isnt the only place where forests are under threat the Northern European country of finland is the most forest rich nation in europe finns call it green gold and it covers the vast majority of land of the country aims to be Carbon Neutral by 2035 and the forests are a natural Defense System against Global Warming so why then is tree logging in finland at an all time high and viral mental activists paloma has known and is fighting to preserve the countrys forests but the revenue they generate makes the issue less clear cut on her days off known and loved heading into the woods the environmental activist is glad that 2 thirds of her native finland is covered in forest although most of it are commercial forests and not wild ones like in this National Park near helsinki for 3 forest would be pretty harvested for the trees to go faster bigger and they would be. Like fertilizers might be used for to create more growth in a shorter period of time. In the lumber industry it seems is out to harvest and process more trees than ever last year a Record Number of trees were cut down to make wood and paper products. But environmentalists like paloma have known and are sounding the alarm. Watch at the moment where were burning all forest and were using them for the short short lasting products and also the young forest. They dont do a soul as efficiently as the little bit older ones finlands forests play a key role as c o 2 sinks after all Global Warming is having a very strong effect especially on northern europe. The countrys Center Left Government has therefore decided that finlands lumber industry must change. It wants to make the country Carbon Neutral by 2035. But mass logging certainly wont help achieve this goal. In finland have a majority of the forest is privately owned so we will have to find incentives for force owners to to grow their forest older perhaps harvest more selectively older. So those specific tools and policy or financial incentives need to be developed but the direction of travel is clear and thats also clear. To the industry but the countrys Timber Industry which forms the backbone of finlands economy wants to keep operating as before after all one out of 5 finnish export goods is made of wood and industry representatives say theyre looking into making sustainable products like textiles from cellulose fibers. You need to do so would otherwise if it becomes again. Meter of c o 2 so if you want to be part of the solution using 3. Way of capture of c o 2 the latest that sure you need go for use that would plant new trees thats the way you have you keep it seen for for many decades. But paloma had known and doesnt buy this argument she says logging always harms the environment. And the numbers of threatened species for example in forest. Is growing so carbon seeing are decreasing so obviously were not doing enough so people are now starting to see what what does it mean on the ground level to increase the logging so that kiev cuts are are in peoples backyards they are they are. Theyre affecting the waters that people use there are affecting forest that people do for picking parries and mushrooms and that for Recreational Purposes so in the local level people are waking up know and resisting Big Investments and kit kats finland is still largely covered in forest but paloma knownin is very worried that it still wont be enough to weaken the effects of climate change. Its an event that promotes love and tolerance but also triggers anger in the hearts of some in the bosnian capital of sarajevo the rainbow flag was proudly on display during the countrys 1st ever gay pride parade with sniper units watching from above members of the community marched for an open and Tolerant Society well the conservative country has long been hostile towards queer people like adnan by ram ovitz the parade was seen as a test for bosnia which has hopes of joining the european union. This is sarah gave his 1st ever gay pride parade and over a 1000 Police Officers are on the streets to keep the protestors say after all being openly gay lesbian or a member of a sexual minority is still a big taboo in bosnia. 20 year old is among the protesters hes bisexual his coming out was a long difficult struggle but at this years gay pride parade he can finally be open about his sexuality without fear. Ive been to many gay pride parades before but its something really special to have this sense of freedom in my home city. Im overwhelmed. Not because. This is the new sarah eva. The syria but he is known so far is very different. And doesnt want to show its his neighborhood out of fear of running into people who know his Sexual Orientation. You know i was alone for many years i was lonely i pretended to be someone else welcome. To an identity that was not really mine to hide my true self. He shows us where he went to school and where he 1st spoke out for days after which he was beaten up by some of his fellow schoolmates. The funny thing is they didnt even know my Sexual Orientation of a couple that i thought im a straight guy supporting the gay movement from giving up and thats why they attack me after school. I guess you learn to deal with them for existing. Adnan says none of the teachers bothered to react to the incident that he says is just how things are here. Ever since the bosnian war conservative saudi wahhabi islam has begun spreading in the country its gradually displacing bosnias more liberal islam it regards homosexuality as unacceptable. But its got to get the family is a fundamental unit in the society of bosnia and herzegovina we want this message to be hurt and we are just. Several 100 fundamentalists have turned out to stand up for what they deem traditional bosnian values. What a beauty this is how things are supposed to be if god had created only men only women and humanity would die oh it. Does to procreate and this is only possible within the family. And these counter protesters are worlds apart even though some people he knows could be here somewhere. Im kind of afraid i might see one of my neighbors or relatives you see and. So its not its new you can get used to the hatred in the country you know the case but it is different when youre hated by someone who you know so well you know its. News took a nickel goes out and youre the boss. By law nobody may be discriminated against because of their Sexual Orientation but bosnians are divided over gays and lesbians are not the dollar does all the every person has the right to love whoever they want thats their free choice. I am against people publicly demonstrating for something that should be a private matter. Recently and. Publicly expressing your Sexual Orientation i mean it is unacceptable that put off. Sorry you had those 1st ever gay pride parade is in the media spotlight more than 2000 people. Taken to the streets to call for tolerance and to protest against discrimination there are even several western ambassadors among the crowd. The large police force keeps hecklers and counter protesters at a distance they want to stop the march going ahead. But today is not bothered by them he just enjoys the atmosphere. Yesterday was all about hate and traditional values but today its all about love. Even if its love that is protected by a huge police presence. Finally we would like to introduce you to a frenchman famous for his powerful and controversial voice im talking of course about more raised their rooster whos crowing landed his owner in court all the squabble on the island of has ruffled the many feathers and pitted city dwellers against country folk murray says oh no covering saw is using her voice to gain support for her rooster as a dispute with her neighbors becomes the subject of a larger debate. 6 6 am on the French Island of all of on maurice the fishermans rooster crows as loud as he can hes just doing his job no problem until tourist spot a neighboring holiday home and wants to sleep there undisturbed without the crowing of maurice. Police were. Only you know if they asked me if i could give the rooster away you know i politely answered that i couldnt in that i wanted to keep my rooster like you but with you and either they could live with it we or they could go on vacation somewhere else he said death to. The new neighbors are putting pressure on her with calls and letters they hire an expert to prove that the roosters crowing is unbearable 3 days in a row he records maurices crows. Have chemical factory of the my lawyer told me they spent a lot of money on the experts 1500 euros for 3 days for the rooster only crowed on 2 of the days something. The experts report on the rooster sounds very professional new home we went into my clients bedroom and opened the window at 641 the rooster began to crow shot in fact crows normally as any rooster does but still too loud for the neighbors who want to silence him by law they dont want to be identified and reject our interview request as absurd as the case may seem the mayor of san. Tells us more and more 2nd home owners are complaining to him about local customs who continue although you. Know the last 3 or 4 years its been getting worse report but ive been getting more and more complaints it was disease people tell me that the bells are ringing too loudly. They count exactly how many times the bell has been struck and how many seconds they have been disturbed during the night and thought through the reason that youll be able to drive even received a complaint that our fishing marina smells too fishy. Stimson what really bothers me is what is behind it that these people want to change our lives. Not for rooster owner kerryn she created an organization to defend maurice she and the other islanders sell t. Shirts to pay for the legal fees. After all they believe the rooster is the National Symbol of france and must be allowed to crow. And see if maybe theyre bothered by the crowing but they should have solved it peacefully im shocked by the way it was handled that. The men didnt show you wasnt its a shame that people go to court over Something Like this since you knew me doing that as we come from a place where people from the city have complained about farmers with countless. This is you know what the cows were here long before they were injured so that i find Something Like this ridiculous we dont want them they should stay in their cities period. Cohen is also putting up all her resistance and the name of all those who had to give up their animals. But to help and ive heard that other rooster owners and friends gave up and killed their animals. Its the same with cows they took their bells or drove them somewhere else. And i do not like that and i dont think its ok. Thats why i want to do it differently the pool really confident that i want to show that rule life in france has always existed and simply belongs here. Well if you get there. A little bit of. Korean passionately rehearses songs in the garden for concerts she gives on the islands. Of me here. She says that rooster maurice has been very upset by the whole thing the way he closed less now hes upset i think he sensed everything thats been going on. This is. A race should feel better soon the court has ruled in favor of corrine but the plaintiffs are checking if they can appeal the ruling.
