democracy the rule of law is under pressure within europe but also throughout the world and Womens Rights play a particular role there because we see that in every country where you have this this shift backwards in Well Yeah Fundamental Rights its always against women that it is that it is directed to so you have the independent. It is that is under pressure the free press culture often and its always against Womens Rights because a lot of these old men sorry to say feel threatened by strong women and to have strong women in politics usually means that that society is more open to to any sort of human beings so that everyone has the possibility to become what he

Hello and a very warm welcome indeed to focus on europe with me peter craven and across europe people have been commemorating the end of the First World War one hundred years ago on november the eleventh One Thousand Nine Hundred Eighteen known by some as the great war it was in fact an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe that left many millions dead or maimed. There was particularly heavy fighting in Northern France and the flanders region of belgium where there was a bitter War Of Attrition between our lied and German Forces both sides fired millions of tons of munitions and for the first time the world witnessed a large scale deployment of chemical weapons as. Well one focus of the clashes was the belgian town of apra where large quantities of war remnants such as unexploded munitions and Poison Gas Canisters are on earth each year for farmers like hertz dinero theres what they call an iron harvest to be brought in from the fields
alongside their ordinary crops. Its Harvest Season and for flemish farmers. That means long working hours he gathers several tons of leaks in potatoes every day. This is West Flanders belgiums westernmost province. When farmers here harvest their crops they often also make some unusual and potentially lethal finds. The net is latest discovery is a Grenade Dating from the First World War. My dad could have told you if its an english or german carnate. But i conned this isnt dangerous there may still be some explosives inside but the detonator is gone. Dinero knows theres always a risk some of these munitions can still go off and lethal accidents arent uncommon
still the farmer says hes not scared hes grown used to the annual socalled iron harvest. I was still a kid when i first found unishe and its normal here its all from world war one. Were. More than almost any other area the belgian town of the press still carries the scars from the First World War. Military cemeteries are dotted throughout. This is where the front line was here some of the wars most bitter battles were fought one hundred years ago on what today our fields. Capella Military BaseSergeant Major geno law is planning his Ordinance Disposal squads daily operations its only eight am. Gino says the units already received thirty Emergency Calls about unexploded world war one munitions. Today we dispatched two teams just because you know their workload we have one team who will take the upper side and one team will take the lower side this was better germans or this is for the brits for or the french or the belgians troops or youll have different types of missions. The squad heads to a Construction Site where workers discovered munition they assessed the situation before were allowed to get a little closer gino and his team say there are twelve german grenades and one British Shell all date from world war one. They could contain toxic chemicals. So i guess there are not fires about here i have one i can save at the safety pin and i can say thats not fire this one here still the safety pin and. Sometimes the fuses so bad yourself some danger so i have to
do my estimates here that a lot can i do as a toxic yes or no you dont know and for what youre going to get yeah thats why you always have a look and then you you determine your training you know its a large and dangerous this is what i can expect is just a normal gas mask its a filter that protects us to the most of the toxic. Agents were its estimated that some one point five billion shells were fired during world war one most of those that didnt detonate about thirty percent of all shells are buried somewhere in the soil in and around the town if. They pose a deadly danger and locals are regularly injured. Pranks Ordinance Disposal squad is very busy. Tell me it should be done within three days so its a grievance between the Ministry Of Defense and the belgian government. They bring
the days haul back to base per year they receive an average of two hundred tons of unexploded ordinance. The military buries the munitions on a special site and destroys them through a controlled explosion. Pocatello can dispose of chemical weapons to using an elaborate procedure that safely neutralizes the toxic gases. Later you know lump left gets another urgent call him and his team is called to the French Border to recover yet another unexploded grenade. One hundred years have passed since the end of world war one but its legacy is still reality for people here it lies buried in the soil locals have had to grow used to the threat of Unexploded Ordnance like farmer. Who has learned to cope with
the constant danger. Lurking in his fields. The First World Wars legacy is also still being felt in ukraine whether a growing tensions in the Western Transco Pavia region of the country there are a small but Vocal Garion Minority fired on by hungarys leader viktor orban hes pushing for the reversal is what they see as injustices dating back to the end of the war but is the Hungarian Community merely demanding cultural autonomy or do they want war. Seven blocks of stone decorated with red white and green these are the National Colors of hungary. Each block commemorates one of seven hungary and tribes the monument is located in the car paid in mountains on Ukrainian Territory. These valleys once belonged to the Kingdom Of Hungary until the end of the First World War and the treaty of trillion on which redrew the national borders. We know that the treaty cannot be
reversed. Again. Carlina darcy is one of One Hundred Fifty Thousand ethnic Hunger Ariens who live in western ukraine. Every sunday she goes to the Reform Church where services take place in hungary and. She is an active member of the ethnic Hungarian Community of barrow over. At the hungary and consulate there at the clock show the time in budapest and brussels time in kiev seems to have stood still. A festival that Carlina Coorg a nice does about to begin nearby she wants cultural autonomy. So we want to be left in peace to preserve our culture. To speak our mother tongue. And to have that spoken in schools but not really nazis. Many are worried that this cultural autonomy is under threat. The perception is
about to begin carlina does some last minute equipment and set up checks she hopes it doesnt rain. On the local governor who represents the Central Government in kiev is also taking part in the procession he refuses to Pay Attention to rumors of separatist movements in his region and the fear some ukrainians have that this area could see cd. Say you have has to resolve its own problems. And people shouldnt talk nonsense there is no separatism here theres never been any and there wont be any money in the motion. But a few of the participants in this festival sing along to the Ukrainian National anthem. Separatism through silence. Back at the consulate a small crowd is demanding that the hungarian consul be evicted. From
the demonstration was organized by vasil vocal in it which. He is outraged about this video which was filmed with a hidden camera it shows the consul issuing hungary and passports to ukrainians in vero hope. He thinks that would a pest is trying to drum up influence in ukraine on the quiet. This is Ukrainian Territory we are in the Ukrainian State defacto and the jury. But its hard to tell in daily life what. Some people think that this is already hungary if not now then in five or ten years itll keep both the. Carolina feels threatened by Ukrainian Nationalists who she thinks keep adding fuel to the fire. Earlier this year the office of hungary and Cultural Association in the region was set on fire by
