Of the police sent Abdullah Freddy straight back to the camp as. The winter is approaching fast and that means there could soon be up to 2 metres of snow q do so theres not much time left to try to flee needs money. Thats an appalling condition here if they die they will be in winter you know having been. At the isolated makeshift camp was set up in the summer. Up to 2 times per day levoxyl fitch has a tank truck filled with Drinking Water for the microns the head of b. Hatch a Civil Protection directorate is trying his best to keep Living Conditions from terrier rating even further which i keep it and so has been left to itself in the Civil Protection directorate got involved to prevent Infectious Diseases from spreading in the camp to the tune of behind. The which. Over the past 2 years more and more migrants arrived in the area a growing number of locals have grown annoyed by the situation including employees to be had as water works. Hard enough its a tough situation for these migrants but for the locals to the situation needs to change you can hardly walk through town anymore without seeing migrants there are more migrants the locals now. Be had just full of migrants hoping to make it to the neighboring e. U. 2 years ago there were an estimated 200. 00 now its believed there are over 5000. 00 and around the town. Then last summer the local authorities opened food check and brought them there. The church mayor sure at 1st insisted on the camp being set up. Companies to stay open. We. Need to choose between the people of behavior of the one hand and the migrants on the other but i will choose my people. Is now calling for a 2nd camp to be opened even further away from the hatch. Meanwhile Civil Protection had lived back of it has arrived into a check with fresh Drinking Water the migrants depend on help from the local community. Food is supplied by the local red cross. The problem is that we have not received any help from the federation or the state of bosnia and herzegovina and 35 weeks. Neither seem to care that the campus situated in a minefield left over from the bosnian war. Locals feel theyve been abandoned. Bosnia and herzegovina has struggled to set up migrant camps elsewhere because of its complicated political situation a leg. Of the bosnian war in the 1990 s. The hatches mayor had suggested opening a new migrant camp 60 kilometers further south understates used farm in a serbian enclave. For the people of serbia and mayor de haan crocheted categorically rejected the idea of coquetry going by the border with the roads and we barely have any common assured agreements in this country to get them yeah thats not going to the turn of be hard to solve the migrant crisis this way but the regional authorities here in northwest bosnia want to take a different approach and then we also have republican serbska as well as International Aid thats how things are in bosnia and herzegovina theres no coordination no common plan. And the other migrants are stranded in a camp with nowhere to go. And the 1st snow is expected soon. Spain is preparing to host this years World Climate summit in madrid and ahead of the event the countrys president reaffirmed his commitment to a greener future but away from the capital an ecological disaster is threatening to destroy europes largest salt water law gruen fish are dying on mass in marman or in Southern Spain its a disturbing sight that is costing fishermen like manual martinez their livelihoods. This lagoon is their life Manuel Martinez and ruben baca a fisherman by choice its a labor of love they work in the mama north in the south of spain its the largest salt water the good in europe. But i mean if it means a lot to me. Its more than a good its a mother or what about these waters fetus provider daily bread. But the lagoon is slowly perishing a few weeks ago that fish were found washed up on shore that suffocated the fisherman still kompany its. Fish in the lagoon have never died on such a large scale before the fishermen seem to know what is the plain. Pollution has been a problem here for a long time and. It comes from the towns and from farming. Everything gets flushed into mana nur. And causing bacteria that destroy the seabed. Which then leads to a lack of oxygen in the water and i wanted to put in a little. The fishermen have hung up their nets in mom and off and now in an effort to protect the remaining fish sales were falling anyway due to concerns about contamination at the same time efforts have been stepped up to find out whats causing the catastrophe like the fishermen environmental activists are convinced the problem stems from the lagoons in thats. An unhealed one of their own say that water contaminated by no piece of fertilizers is entering into the good and for. What both ground and surface water enters the lagoon from intensively farmed fields. And its full of nitrates. And fit but i mean. Its clear that the agric. Sector is responsible for this pollution. But its doing nothing about it and i think that the. Test indicate that much of the pollution comes from the pond and behind the lagoon where broccoli lettuce an artichoke saw grow some fields have apparently been irrigated illegally. But farmers like my northern martinas refute such claims he says more farmers are switching to more modern Irrigation Systems which allow them to use fewer fertilizers he says the real culprit is the weather. I get when im going to the mental load to most. People have to realize that in the last few years we have experienced torrential rainfall. Which in september for example led to large amounts of water boom washed away from the fields and to the lagoon. Fishermen agree that Climate Change is making the situation worse they say its precisely why pharma should reduce fertiliser use and they say its a political issue too because those in power have been too lax with restrictions on the culture. And. Regional government has done nothing to improve things. For years weve been telling them our minority is in a dire state. Regional government says its up to madrid to introduce tougher regulations youre going to be less likely to put years of instability in spains Central Government have left the region to deal with the issue on its own. And in mice not just the reputation of the lagoon or of this region that is at stake here. Whats at stake is the environmental reputation of all of spain you know we have to learn from this this time. I found the solution was number 3 about im going to have some new field by the time such a solution is found it could be too late but Manuel Martinez another local fisherman some already planning to sell the boat might be years before fish stocks return to normal if ever. I dont know what to do i mean for my fishing is my life. And ive been doing it for 1314 years i worked my familys fiftys waters for 4 or 5 generations i cant do anything else. Although there is little demand for fish from the waters of maman or right now some fishermen still try their luck like the lagoon they too are struggling for survival. Should scotland be an independent country in the 2014 referendum the majority said no and the country remained a part of the United Kingdom but now braves it has reignited the debate around scotlands sovereignty standing in the u. K. Leaving that something that hundreds of thousands of scots have protested against while the countrys 1st minister is pushing for a 2nd referendum in 2021 george or mr ancestors settled in scotland centuries ago and the flute maker from stirling believes that its time for the country to disentangle itself from the United Kingdom. George or mr and says its the wood that sets the piece for his work and thats exactly what he loves about his job hes a qualified engineer before more than 40 years hes been earning a living through his passion making wooden flutes. It wont make him wealthy but thats not important to him. He says in this regard hes very scottish just like his family. The armisen is calling from a long line of scots and could be traced back to the year 547 george says scotland is home and not the u. K. I have a feeling of being scottish 1st of all. But there are the same time have the feeling of being european im not sure i dont really feel gratified because to be honest i dont really know what british has. As i say theyre all their own you can give a name to something you can draw laying on a wall but that doesnt mean that thats what as an os what people feel in the hot 2. During the referendum 5 years ago he voted for independence but a clear majority of scots were against independence back then. Castle is near georges workshop. The union jack and United Kingdom still flooded demonstrating the union of England Wales Northern Ireland and scotland. Unity which would mean equality on the husband been the quality of discourse have always been made to feel 2nd class well i give you an example of the scottish buying some of their own money the have their own pint you know it and i went up to fail the scottish 20 no save it went to foreign money and. So these are you the kind of things like that so its difficult. Just south of Stirling Castle is the town of panic burnt 800 years ago the scots triumphed here against the english army an important victory for many its the symbol of Scottish Independence even if the balance of power repeatedly shifted in the centuries that followed. The story of the battle is digitally simulated at the memorials visitor center. Like scotland itself the visitors here also divided on which direction star should take reach stuck together for 300 years and its been to the benefit of both countries and i would like i would like it to continue you know i said friend above all the north and thats one after the opening said thing i may be tempted to vote yes us time you know if that ever happened i won by and yeah i think i probably will for you know. Scotlands independence was decided by the 2014 referendum but now because of brags that the debate is again making the headlines. According to a recent survey there are currently more scots in favor of independence now than there have been in the last 7 years 50 percent. The Scottish National party sees this as their chance. Alan smith will stand in the upcoming parliamentary elections he must win staring back from the tories his chances arent bad not least of all because Boris Johnson and his breadth of policies are deeply unpopular in scotland. We were told we were a partnership of equals a family of nations but then we voted strongly to remain within the e. U. And the u. K. Voted as a whole to leave and we were told that doesnt matter shut up so that is the election more the next to go in the. 3rd theyre absolutely linked because of brags that were being taken out of the European Union against our will if we were independent that would not be the case. In the british parliaments without a clear majority the Scottish Nationalists could become kingmakers. Theyve already announced that they would only support a government if it in turn agrees to a 2nd referendum on independence. Even if a 2nd referendum is held George Ormiston is not sure whether a majority of the scots would be in favor of independence. But theyd be in the end just like its flutes independence just its time. Time is also needed to heal the atrocities that took place during the 2nd world war in the winter of 945. 00 the red army began its advance on berlin to defeat hitler the German Village of class and was reduced to rubble as the verum act tried in vain to stop the soviets almost 75 years later millions of soldiers are still listed as missing across europe and one special association is working to give the Fallen Soldiers of the war a final resting place its an act of compassion carried out regardless of the soldiers uniform. Swith anthropologist. And italian student lauder through carefully removed from around the skeleton. Theyre looking for clues about the age and identity of the deceased. They believe he was a young soviet soldier. Who wouldnt knock leaks and the dead were left on the battlefield when the war ended because there were too many bodies to bury cup its they were often placed in military trenches or shallow pits. And covered with sweat. In 3945 heavy fighting east of palin near the river order claimed the lives of thousands of german and soviet soldiers many of the war dead still alive here. Now members of the association for the recovery of the fallen in Eastern Europe excavating the old trenches. At the 2 annual excavations theyve already exuma the remains of more than 200. 00 soldiers. Youre happy because you find them but you know if you have a lot of problems how do you take him out right is anything broken so there is of course exciting because you found him there is problems if you have to sort of as well. Experts from across europe historians and for apologist an archaeologist are collaborating on this project. They do this work on a volunteer basis using their Vacation Time to look for soldiers remains one group of volunteers is from russia. And. We dont think its right that soldiers who fought against fascism or german soldiers lie here in the fields and forests or in russian swamps. And it doesnt work with some. They should be buried in dignified places where you live in military cemeteries where people can go one on the very memory that. Ill push to lower the chairman of the association who want in its the work he says the fact that volunteers from the ukraine and russia dickhead together its an important sign of reconciliation together they can give back dignity to the foreman of the 2nd world war. Is in here but were here because we want to resolve the fates of these soldiers who senselessly lost their young lives but at least give them back their names with dignity with a proper grave in the name of it and then on it. In order to later identify the dead the volunteers carefully remove the remains from the ground and look for dog tags or personal items the moving find the greater the chance of identifying them and notifying families that their missing relative has been found this rarely happens but 23 year old Danielle Hammond has experienced it once a lesser time was one of those moments was a moment for the. Was a moment when i realize that this is hugely important work for them. With their efforts and a few leftover papers that were lying around somewhere for 70 years the persons fate could be revealed long. Enough theres a 6 or 6 like them going for her. The next day the volunteers and guests gather at a Military Cemetery to bury the remains of 15 german soldiers in a solemn ceremony. But only as in the burroughs are always very emotional for us thats what we do this to give the soldiers their last place of rest and its with betancourt and this is also the end of one year of research so its almost like i follow the days that all across their cycle from there emerges from the ground with everybody else and thats something quite powerful to behold. Next spring the volunteers hope to return and search for more Fallen Soldiers. Thousands more remain in the area undiscovered. And everyone here knows that only a small number of them at the beach recovered. The eiffel tower zen and shit wandering through the streets of paris its not a prank or protest but one mans quest to bring more country to the capital for a brief time the french city is forced to slow down while the shepherd counts as sheep. Well. This is hardly an everyday occurrence in paris. But one that might become a little more frequent thanks to gil military a and his flock of sheep. To the new people resume. So those who live in the area know their region least well it has a chance to discover their region at the speed of sheep i. E. Very slowly 1. 7 kilometers now on. The speed of she doesnt seem to be a problem in the big city. Of course the group only crosses when the light is green and the Traffic Police is there to make sure everyone gets across safely. That the sheep even find something to nibble on. And then take a liking to the urban playgrounds. Look. At it. Tourists and locals alike seem enchanted. This is be the 1st on the list its great its. Time for rest and for lunch. And theres no doubt that the local children dont mind sharing their patch with these gas. If. You. Could speak only as the mayor of a paris suburb and the chair of the greater paris metropolis which has provided the funds for this project to make the area in and around paris greener. We want to double the area there are currently 102. 00 farms on about 2000 hectares. 5000 by 2030 people very ambitious those. The sheep are somewhat less ambitious as they make their way through the city i how. Even with its 7000000. 00 inhabitants paris boasts a few green areas where the sheep can graze they provide free fertiliser but the plants are particularly tasty in the wealthy 16th or on the small the flock currently has about 20 guests shepherds some spending just a few hours others a few days. Its really interesting to see how animals can also find a place in the city to see how the space can be used. In the new move i feed in time. Hell mend his sheep live in la canoes just outside of paris. Healthy fodder is important hay provides fiber and its mostly produced without pesticides here. So gillum sheep are popular with some of pariss top chefs. Leader at this school dont look pretty decent there have been scandals so now the idea is to bring back some order reestablish control over what we eat with us when think about what used to be done then everyone can make up their own mind has disappeared. After a week in the big city the sheep are visibly exhausted time for a well deserved rest. Thats also how i feel after spending a week in paris thanks so much for watching focus on europe bye for now. Move. To. The food because. Of the. Crude oil is everywhere. Even where we least expect it. But the wild card will soon be over. How can we replace the block. And my family its too close to the economy.
