The number of the legal Border Crossings is on the rise. The wall runs along the border between the polish region of port laskey and bella roofs, but the records you use are not what worries residents like maria, patricia huff . Scott. Shes more concerned about the device of tone of the Election Campaign, the steering up of nationalism, and does una phobia. All this called her and her business, she says and give her home country poland, a bad reputation. It may look a bit like the end of the world, but its only the border of the European Union. This is put a lot of poland on the border with fellers. There is not much here apart from forest fields and a few houses. And thats exactly why Maria Chelsea got moved to 6 years ago. She built a Holiday House for people looking for some peace and quiet. But this year business has been pretty slow. You want, you want the kids and i spoke to some friends who told me that they wanted to ride their bikes here, but they dont want to meet soldiers around every corner and its asking them where theyre going and why i can understand that temple. So yeah, that you cant, yeah, that was on them. Thats the show. This for the area between poland and bella. Ruth has been under a particular observation since rushes invasion. A modern fence is being built and soldiers are on control. They are looking for human smugglers and people who have cross the border into poland illegally. Poland has accused spell every so orchestrating and migration influx into the you via poland, to the stabilize the region. There is some 10000. 00 and so just station 2 because of the legal migration and the presence of the russian bug, the most and regrouping bella verse, cause i believe on there is no doubt that the bell origin regime is cooperating with the kremlin. And the attacks on the pole this border are intended to destabilize our country. But im convinced that this action will not succeed due to the polish military and the strength and border you to. The region has been changed by military precedence and defense, which is either 180 kilometers long. Just its for the better says go from a stand as well need to bitch who lives just for kilometers away. The moment its much calmer. Now. They used to be on the barbed wire. The people are able to cross quickly and trust except for now they have to cut defense or dig under it. So its safer for us not the face of moment, but he says nothing ever happened to him. Most people close to the board, i have seen migrants trying to get to the European Union now, but i didnt dare open the window because they were shouting and crying, and there were little children in my life. Maria, pretty jo. Scott does not share the fee is new to him. If it goes that goes on. Yeah, we dont feel threatened here. Neither by refugees nor by the wagner group or the individual. I have the impression people are still can fear to reach a certain political goal for the staff. But theres nothing over 20 to, to the ruling law and Justice Party has focused its Election Campaign on security with the slogan, a secure future for the police people. And it has pinpointed one threat, biased emigration, illegal immigration, large numbers of people are coming in, not to work, but to benefit from social welfare, and also to undermine our security. But those are some are doing in an organized way, but much is a challenge. Others simply because it is their disposition, but those have been the best bits as funded by the constant warnings about legal migration and high profile appearances of politicians with military representatives, no good for local tourism, the level of drone. It says theres been a 70 to 80 percent drop in reservations at his hotel, and the restaurant is often empty. The board, so its not only an Election Campaign, its a long Term Campaign just to make people constantly afraid to go ship to make them afraid. So that the government can give them security, which is done with all the good time for us. But the law and Justice Party has also decided to hold a referendum on election day and ask about is what they think about the use asylum policy or tanya of the promotional video and the phrasing of the questions a more suggestive than serious get us are you in favor of thousands of Illegal Migrants from the middle east and africa having to be taken in by the use co wasted mechanisms. Whats on them . Says bureaucrats here will really say no to illegal immigration, get us maria pritchett. Joe scott is trying not to be discouraged by the political mood. She does not want to give up her business in which he has invested so much money and passion. She thinks that people should not be scared of coming up here. It would be good for them to come in to support local businesses and people like us, but also to see for themselves whats really going on here. What it looks like. Ill click the news about which uh so i appreciate that. No problem to jan. She hopes that some normality will return to port alexia after the election on october 15th february 24th, 2022. Its a date that will be forever etched in the memories of ukrainians, because that is the day the rest and full scale invasion of the country begin. But the state is also special for ethnic because its birth date. So what is life flag for a child who has only experienced her country a tour, a reporter visited of nica and her family and the suburbs of t of to find out of the have nico spencer, days like any 20 month old girl. Going to the park and feeding the pigeons. But this little girl is growing up in ukraine. She was born on february 24th 2022. The day of rushes full scale invasion.

I dont panic, but i get anxious. And she sense is that one . Yes or no, clings to me really tightly and what gets quiet. So yeah, its been like that from the start. And then when you, when we brought her home from the hospital we were in the car for a long time. She didnt even cry. And but there are children who get nervous and demand attention when they sense anxiety, which we need to provide to sleep. She will not damage because you know, the family lives in a suburb of kids. I need to, alison drove the was already in the hospital, being prepared for us this area. And when russia invaded to get you an article most we heard explosions. And at 1st we didnt understand what it was. Just about 5 or 10 minutes later, a doctor and a nurse came in. They said russia was attacking us and we had to pack our things and moved to the basement for most of us over to the city. No. More than assisted vaughan. The she had her c section the same day and was moved to the basement, which had been converted to an emergency bunker. So i have nico spent the 1st 7 days of her life underground. As fighting just outside key of intensified the family, found shelter with relatives in the countryside. And not until the Russian Troops withdrew from around t if did they return home. We were there, but our hearts were here. So we decided to come back. There we were covered from the constant air raid sirens and caught up on our sleep. Since then, the neighborhood has come back to life. Cafe is and businesses have reopened, and more and more neighbors are returning. Now it almost looks like it did before the russian invasion on the move on the but the young families daily lives are still overshadowed by the war. They found an apartment on the ground floor where they feel safer. Products under alexander of works for a company essential to the war effort. He cant reveal anything more. Is that chicago to the in the ive been waiting for this trial, talk to somebody a little bit too. Wed had a miscarriage before this the end, we lost the baby in the 3rd month falling on, so we were already pretty anxious. Looks at the cables. So is that put there and then it los mika was here, and a goal was on. But well hang on for more when when the alarm goes off of nick and her parents take shelter in the store room and they do what they can to make life for their daughter as light and airy as possible. I the in the you physical, National Borders have all thats, this appeared at least for those people who hold the rights type of passports in place to, for young along the french, italian border for example. Both countries are working together to create one come an attractive tourist region, but just a few kilometers away at the points where migrants wants to cross over from italy to friends. The border is protected like a few others within the you. Its a paradox of the open yet close border which leaves thousands of migrants in limbo. The. Ready the french should be ashamed when she made the best deal around the mouth of brace. Roy. Yeah. In south east france, which is visit is outside is communities, Tourist Office or the best. The town of over 2000 overlooks the Mediterranean Sea in the border region between france and italy. Initiative. Im looking for the brochures, maps, and travel guide for our culture. You project we saw, which was over, you know, co trust stance for the southern alps. Coat to 0 region. This your opinion project subsidizes across the board of cooperation between french and attending municipalities, dismantling the board as yet further. And i will never remember we rely on close connections within that way. So without the beach closest to brazen vince emilio in italy. First game we go to the monet in italy, we cannot get by without cross board relations. The said the most on possible side of the border region combined, spectacular mountain scenery with plenty of french and tongue and history until the 19th century. This was the most important trade route from piedmont to the mediterranean. The northern royal valley was part of it to meet during world war 2. And the border was disputed until 1947. Today, the italian fortresses are decaying. More than 70 years after the war. Theres nothing to suggest that the french italian border runs here. Its a board, a free europe southward toward the mediterranean, the route maids passed old customs and Border Crossings, french and italian by the crumbling 1st, the customs offices, and then the board of police to disappeared from the European Unions internal borders. No passports, a check here anymore. Or so it seems but in the you, the situation and how is drive south of the mediterranean is only allowed in exceptional cases. For years, france has been guiding its border between vin tamilia in easley and montague, on the code to 0, to the french board of police, a working at an internal European UnionBorder Crossing some time ago. The board of posts was even expanded with a container with friends can detain Illegal Migrants for 24 hours, the refugees and migrants mainly from african countries. The reason most reach vent tamilia by the mediterranean and southern italy in the human mind. And really in human, the french dont want them know, but he does send them back to the board or not. People like us, the people who have fled their countries and comes here, people staying in place and bring them up to the Homeless People have been on the streets, have been tamilia for years now, many of them young people, they keep hoping to find a way through the border i want to vote for you to try to do the police drive them out of the city center. The tell the and government in run has refused to provide state support to the people here and blames fronts for the misery. Many events amelia agree. Lot for on shot to the ranch should be a shame and only just its not unfair. Its not right that we had times have to take in all these masses groups. Of course, thomas via 30 is closed the only reception sent to 3 years ago during the carpet pandemic for fear of infection. It was never reopened. Only the catholic carriage this charity hans, that food for 2 hours in the morning. In the early evening volunteers cook for the homeless. One of them is building contract. Filippo lombardo is a good or a to help for a yeah. Let me because i mean all on average 100 to 150 more comes event tamilia every day saw a fostering comfortable home through ventimiglia is a stuff on the way. Despite the guided buddha, migrants managed to cross into france again and again. The royal river flows into the mediterranean here in the southern alps. The river draws tourists and summer hike is, as does the french town of bryce who go yeah. Since 2014, the European Union has subsidized the border region with more than 200000000 euros for tourism joint Nature Conservation and cross border Cooperation Among mounts and communities. The when i say to the t o, weve created tours, brochures, information plaques and this website which highlights the different communities throughout the royal environment. Non, you know, territory and the various monuments do the whole. Yeah. In the mean then yeah, one such monument embrace atanya and twin town of border go send a month. So commitment rates are the 300 jewish people from all over europe, who were deported from here to outfits. Battalions, french, germans, dutch most had fled denazis 1st to the south of france, and then to the mountains on the tele, inside. And they ended up in prison here in a concentration camp. The companion exhibition is designed to inspire reflection, be owns the deportations. This panel is titled the desperate escaped through the mountains. Many of the locals he had hidden slain dues, exhibition direct, good or bad. So bianco draws a power low to the present day genetic. I mean, think of humans can when he quit or can i study, i would have been waiting for get what we should have learned from history for a velocity of a set of values upon which our europe was founded. Exactly the mind that is our humanity. When we are confronted with issues of migration, find all i think thats a different kind of too much for that. Let me get a feeling on thursday. Filippo lombardo cooks dinner for the migrants in the parking lot. Invent amelia p. His wife donna and the friends have been helping once a week for over half a year. The volunteers exchanged the latest information via Text Messages right now, many from eritrea, somalia, and especially sudan are in the city. The assistance i feel like thats enough to allow with all these wars on around the world. Now its to the families who can afford to take their children and go upon the particularly fairly long. They say traffic is uh already waiting for the refugees at the event and media train station. The volunteer at cooks try to one the migrants about the criminals under the audio. But the often theyve already heard from lamp and do that. You will arrive here and when they know their surnames and whether they have money for the shock it save me that all the traffic is only need one. Try to get the migrants across the board are using the path of the main road to front that everyone in been tamilia knows about. The route is easily reached but dangerous. It leads straight across the highway. Before setting out, they leave behind. They lost belongings, hoping that if they caught, the French Border patrol would find anything to prove that they had just come for me to leave. Now to volunteer to spend 3 hours cooking with the migrants, counting the shopping and preparation time limit because its very spice. So nice and hot, when people like that salting and spicy time is fleeting. Down in the parking lot in town, the volunteers are getting ready to provide meals. The various help is depend on one another. I always say as people, we are already born into problems. And i have a migrant to say, and its holly and its still a micro upon me on my mouth. Just my mother left calabria and southern italy in 1956 came here and she taught me that if 3 people can eat at one table, 5 or 6 can to launch can see dinner is provided every week, day at 7 pm. We try to strike up a conversation, but hardly any of the migrants are willing to speak on camera mainly. So see everything deported. The you still applies the rule that refugees in migrants who enter have to remain in the country where they 1st arrived so many here get very courses. When asked if they headed for france, i dont have to Pay Attention to definitely if i get that for me additional and then you also consider it as white. Well, we didnt say that were here for you. Maybe getting something but because of this acute based computer cuz that facing the key. This of the best way usually the tele, no authority is grant the migraines, the suspension of deportation and mounting to permission to remain in italy temporarily to humana, terry, and reasons. Current a you little when to allow them to travel to other e. U countries that makes this a headboard or for the migrants, but the volunteers themselves, theyre not prepared to accept to that followed all, but the problem is not europe easy. So like its been europeans who cannot comprehend that its better to give these people something to get by on. Keep them wired up with the ones who steal the traffickers to lucky. Theyre the ones who caused strife. The migraines have a right to come here. Door lots of the you funding goes to help breaking down the borders into french italian outs, exhibition, direct of Roberto Bianco in folks human rights and the lessons and legacy of the 20th centuries boys and mass expulsions. They put a question about a saw on it, the phones at one time when people saw a stranger here, they opened the doors to their homes to help and hide and protect them. But by the phone in from a lot of their, their example. These people showed how we could restore some kind of balance after such a complicated history because a room is going around among the migrants. Invent amelia, about local people, somewhere up in the mountains, you know, all the secret roots and sometimes show travelers the way. Ready the us, we live in an age where more and more people order books online or read digital copies, but surprisingly in the okay, the number of independent bookstores has increased and the british capital london, some creative mines got together and opened a bookstore on a boat. Its a popular destination for book rooms and a virus sensation on social media. Hi, im petty screech. One of the 3 signed as a wood on the wall to the london book budge, which is a book shop. On the 19 twentys dutch budge popped in kings cross in the middle of london. And in the middle of construction sites and office buildings, patty screech and his partner came up with the idea to provide a refuge to book worms on the water in 2011. But the problem at 1st was that the barge had to move its position every 2 weeks. We were doing it almost entirely for love for the 1st sort of 7 years. Should we have cigarettes or coffee . We cant afford both today sort of story. I mean, well, the fact truthfully announced that were gonna have to close and all the people who would be forced to follow us on social media because we were constantly on the move and suddenly came out of the woodwork and in effect, save this. They did so by helping word on the water get a permanent, 1st with the living room. Look, the bookshop gets good, pressed on social media platforms, and did the analog world to search different like, you can have those anywhere i guess, but ive never seen one of the part closely. Yeah, well see that. Yeah. The spear in the music and come when you go on to the bar chip, walk most of it because its the river flow. Its just really nice and detailing because once there was a leak and some of the books were damaged, but otherwise business is good. And actually, better now than ever expect at least a joke. So you know, people come and hold up a book, photographs themselves with a neat show and then put it down and walk away. But thats not what happens actually. And people come not only to buy books, but to attend performances and concert on a very special charge in london. The and thats it for this weeks focus on year of things. So watching you can find more content on our social media channels. Take care and the the answer is the conflict. So i worry about the will of the west to continue to do what needs to don strong words from my guesses waiting today says former deputy Supreme Commander in europe.
