People in russia are outraged here in moscow they are demonstrating against the decision. Some athletes prepare their entire lives for the olympics so it comes as no surprise that some of russias Top Competitors were left frustrated and angry by being excluded while many critics hope the ban would force the country to tackle the doping issue people across russia complain that this is all part of a conspiracy against them a feeling shared by some of the suspended athletes. It was an unexpected twist for evander kane but being barred from the olympics hasnt stopped him training he and his partner Alexandra Steele have been skating together since they were children and working towards their first Olympic Games for eight years. But the International Olympic committee hasnt invited the twenty four year old to pyong chang it considers russian athletes guilty until proven innocent and suspects yvonne of doping which he denies i need to have they say you want invited but they havent told us the reason it seems they suspect us of something but they havent told us of watch three children you do it and i think i have to tell us how can you accuse someone of something and not say what it is commercial so the team knew it regardless but the screeching theyre not inviting athletes for no reason its so strange its like we havent been invited to a birthday party. But this is the olympics. Among the athletes the russian olympic ban remains a hot topic yvonnes appeal against the decision to bar him was just rejected hes one of over one hundred athletes who arent on the list. In russia their situation is seen as political at a concert called russia in my heart in moscow the doping scandal is portrayed as part of an anti russian campaign. World war two sanctions and now the Olympic Games were strong no matter what hits us. Thats the message here. By athlete anton she pullin is one of the guests he was also barred from competing. Since all of our strongest athletes werent invited to the olympics this is unprecedented just. Raising the National Colors here isnt much of a consolation for she pulled and his fellow athletes in south korea have to make do with a neutral fly. The russian athletes are officially competing as individual olympic athletes from russia not as the russian team still there and transfer the Opening Ceremony has drawn a bit of an audience to this for its part most of those watching are angry about how the Olympic Committee has treated their athletes. Politics shouldnt be mixed up with the olympics its a peaceful event based on friendship between nations. We should have taken part with one National Flag and uniform at any cost should i think north all the sanctions against us and not being afraid of anything more yes to move ahead of a well known sports site thinks the doping scandal has taken on a dangerous political slant in russia and he blames the government for not trying to solve the problem. At the option of a small team its clear in russia doping isnt seen as a problem that has anything to do with sports or as a violation that needs to be punished short in the cup instead its seen as the next phase of a new cold war and venture bad because it means doping cant be discussed in a reasonable way the attitude towards doping is seriously problematic here it is not a taboo in russia would soon as a tactical maneuver we were he just. Doping is supposed to make athletes faster and stronger even argues thats why it wouldnt help in his discipline anyway he says ice skating is about coordination and grace. If i cant speak for anyone else this is but i can vouch for myself. And say that i am clean that ive never taken anything in my life. Instead of fighting for medals at the Olympic Games yvonne and alex on that i can only look back at their last big performance at the european championships a few weeks ago. At the time they didnt know they wouldnt be at the olympics and they want a bronze medal in the ice dancing disciplined about socialism when i wasnt invited it was really hard for us for a few days so then things got easier. Now we understand that life has to go on we have to think of our next go. Sleeveless should certainly. One of those goals will be the next Olympic Games in four years and theyll be ready for a fair fight for medals without doping they say. And do the borderless europe has brought prosperity and opportunity for many but there are those who take advantage of this and make their fortune some crime German Police are trying to crack down on a family clan based in croatia that is said to be responsible for thousands of burglaries throughout europe including here in germany but while the logic criminals can travel freely between e. U. Countries the arm of the law all too often ends at national borders. The trail goes cold in b. L. Of our in northern croatia. According to investigators members of a local family clan of burglars are behind thousands of break ins in germany reporters are not welcome here. This house is the focus of the investigation the cars outside are expensive and have german license plates and i took you for many parts of our culture caraway. Tell us about what you know about both when we. Speak croatian so its just you wait. Were ambushed. Our camera team attacked with tomatoes. Again i think the american that i gave. For months reporters with german t. V. Have been researching one of the biggest burglary gangs in german criminal history. A gang that operates throughout europe. Its believed to be responsible for one fifth of the break ins in germany. Last two are hundreds maybe even a thousand break ins are just this one part of the gangs. The perpetrators have made off with stolen goods worth millions and flaunt their spoils on social media well the victims are traumatized vest he spends nation to your privacy to me thats the worst. Investigation carried out by Munich Police resulted in multiple arrests. But hundreds of other members of the gang remain at large. The first breakthrough in the investigation came unexpectedly in the district of munich Plainclothes Police officers observed three young women behaving suspiciously. And a need to attract attention when they entered this house. When they left it a short while later they were stopped and searched by police. The police found classic burglary tools sewn into their clothes for their questioning by special investigators revealed links to organized gangs in bavaria and across germany solve rates for break ins are low. But police hoped that this case would prove to be different. You avoid once we arrested the women who carried out this break and we wanted to find out who was behind it whos pulling the strings whether its a Major Network that was the first step this want to unstick rooms. The police uncovered a clan of roughly five hundred members active across europe and based in croatia. Police believe it could be behind thousands of break ins stretching over several years. Last month his live where you can see here is just part of the wider class but thats the part were focused on as you can see theyre all related theyre all members of the same family none from the outside nothing external at this kind in extent and. Investigators have one woman in particular in their crosshairs. The circa vi the police refer to her as the princess. So gripped the correction capital home to the woman Police Believe is the most skilled burglar of them all. Apparently lives here with other members of the clan in the suburb of suspected. We ring the doorbell. Because it was there to live here you know yes but shes not here right now should be away for long i think shes gone to the coast. All morning. A little bit of. A man appears jack a movie is the prince is his brother hes known to police as a suspect in eight burglary cases in hessen. From germany the german cops think that youre responsible for many crimes in germany. No comment and so the. Joy of the piece or not but nobody. Would have thought she supposed to be the best is she the best one for me. But its not supposed to mean theres no one here. She supposed be very good breaking into homes this is a bit over two grueling you know im not saying anything were not going to comment. Musharraf in which the jitters about us going to the start. Become so many suspected criminals are at large in croatia even within the e. U. Investigations across borders are complex on their home turf the plane keeps a low profile according to a local policeman who wants to remain anonymous was always just to go to. In all honesty i see these houses i see whats happening. But unless a crime is committed to croatia there is nothing i can do but exodus and when you know that i can only have someone put under observation if i have a suspicion they are perpetrating a crime on the. Dollars that i was. Working in collaboration with German AuthoritiesCroatian Police have seized a hall of suspected soul and goods. To investigators from munich are here to collect it. Its really quite a car to watch its worth a lot. So lots of jewelry and taught all jackets. That you know weve got i was cut out for us. What the truth of it opens. This hall could be used as evidence in germany for leading members of the clan are about to go on trial in munich. The authorities havent cracked the gang yet but theyre their getting. Well criminals from croatia are taking advantage of open borders so what seems is a highly contagious pick disease germany is known for its fear football and its love of pork after all the country gave the world the ubiquitous hot dog but now pig farmers are on high alert for african swine fever its spreading westward across europe with new cases already in neighboring poland with now and the vailable vaccine hunters are now actively culling wild boars to stop the spread no pics in germany have yet been infected but farmers worry the disease could still proof a toll for their industry his fingers on the trigger hes ready to take in but the hunter isnt interested in deer genuine as target is wild boar. One down hopefully many more to go hunting season is officially over but since the outbreak of swine fever in Eastern Europe fear is growing that the disease will soon reach germany to some fifty hunters or tracking wild boar hoping that a cull will keep the disease at bay satisfied the in the dim Shows Companies who know that wasnt a great shot would you know me or them in the conditions on great. Before. That had already been shot youve got a bit too low down over. This thing i would give ever here do my job came through the branches in the hopes id hit it with. Some. Of the. Most of the huntsman tracking wild boar here and make him borg have hit their target and they get twenty five euros per hog thanks to a regional incentive introduced to protect domestic pigs for now theyre still healthy but african swine fever is threatening to creep into germany. And today as killing and his brothers keep about ten thousand pigs in a farm thats just sixty kilometers from poland where there have already been a few hundred cases of swine fever its not dangerous to humans but the cooling is are worried that business will take a hit. Thats a good at this point no one can really tell how our partners in the pork industry will react. If theyll still buy healthy meat even though it comes from an area where the swine fever which is one of the best is just stored of course when nervous personally i think its only a matter of time before african swine fever reaches germany. Its just a matter of when and how severe the outbreak is getting this done on discarded list. But how would swine fever even reach germany infected polish wild boars would hardly cross the river or. In fact its humans that play a major role in spreading the disease motorists from Eastern Europe could unwittingly bring it into the country a half eaten sausage tossed out of a car window and eaten by a wild boar would be all it takes. To swim via the likelihood of the disease reaching germanys very high but this is you know what the fewer wild boar there are the less likely it is the disease will spread but of avoided as hunters we have a responsibility to farmers and to societies actually the German Farmers association has called an emergency meeting the killings are attending according to conservationists the expansion of Corn Production has boosted wild boar populations increasing the risk of swine fever the Association President rejects the accusation is because its not just Corn Production and this needs to be spelled out but a large number of conservation measures to help wild boar feel and all near. The Farmers Association has called for a seventy percent call of the countrys wild boar population here to make them work the forty one hog shot today were all healthy. Foods and tom weve got a strict one ya hopefully helping to ensure that the disease doesnt spread as fast as it would if we did nothing. But can it be stopped we can only speculate you can look here hes likely able to prevent swine fever thats not very encouraging. We still have to take measures hes a mug and short muffin for the sake of our conscience. And yelling and his fellow huntsman will do what they can to stop the african swine fever from spreading westwards reducing bore populations might help contain the spread but it wont prevent. A decade ago the republicans kosovo declared its independence from serbia after a bloody war leaving Ethnic Albanians and serbs trying to figure out how to live side by side despite this the e. U. Hopes that by proceeding with a session for both serbia and kosovo all of this would change but the recent murder of prominent kosovos are political all over again of it in the city of nature feature has been a setback for these hopes all reporter went to Richard Beecher to see how the people there live with the tense piece. The bridge over the river eve are in the course of a city of metro pizza is supposed to connect the albanian dominated south and the serbian north of town. But ten years after constable became independent the bridges not helped bring both sides together and e. U. Funded construction project for a Meeting Point on the bridge as stalled one year ago the serbian side even erected a barricade in protest which was later removed again and so far an e. U. Funded roundabout is only finished on the albanian side. Are due to how iran is an albanian student who grew up amid the emitter of its a conflict she was ten when constable became independent from serbia until i was eighteen to nineteen years Something Like that i didnt was a bridge. Currently only albanians used the bridge strolling along it in an apparent display of normalcy in the background serbian flags mark the north of the town. None of the serbs ever rest on the benches atop the bridge its not know if it would be normal the would it wouldnt be divided ethnically by a bridge the bridges are used to connect people not to divide them. Are detours as you know goes her shopping in the northern serbian part of the city but she says many older albanians are still too scared to venture there. So you know these two men do walking all right so there was probably live in the. Neighborhood via but they quickly turn around. And leave them feel secure with across the road. But many i did ask them why they turned back from everything we can get from the first plane that. Some people are still scattered i dont want to go that is like edition additional people it would be good if everybody went everywhere truckle sealift regardless of van nationality or to just deal in the cold it was you know twenty years have passed since the cross of a war that pitted serbs and albanians against each other and ten cents albanian dominated kosovo became independent because of our society remains deeply divided its a fake idea that we have been grown up with and thats how we. As a realizing by lying to others realize were ourselves and thats how we keep telling ourselves that that is not divided between. The serbian dominated northern part of me true that so. These serbian flags were put up by the norths mayor he follows the party line of neighboring serbia. But attempts have been made to try to bring both sides together he wanted to bridge the divide only by evanovich a moderate nationalistic politician of the Constable Service then in late january he was killed in front of his Party Officers in a drive by shooting. This is back to the perpetrators serbian criminals nationalists more books. The assassination came as a shock to me you know school lubavitch a social worker trying to bring young serbs and albanians together through it is not safe place to say that its lots of few incidents you know if they mentioned it the problem because these big issue because they have not justice in both cases the judiciary stopped working years ago the murder of moderate serb evanovich occurred in a deep facto legal vacuum you know impression on people that if you can be killed like you can then i ordinary citizen what can i expect. In the northern half of my tribute so there is a pervasive feeling of insecurity and fear of crime. The police are present most cars dont even have number plates serbian nationalists dont recognize license plates issued by the independent cause of the state allowed people to drive without license plates. Most shops in the north still work with serbias currency do not although constables official currency is the euro after the close of a war ended middle school book which started in the northern part of metro beats he saw his future there it was fifteen minutes to go out before i will like with say that i am one hundred percent sure that they would stay seated but. Im not so sure. Many on the albanian side of town think like him half of all albanians in kosovo today are younger than thirty just like. Shes preparing her final University Exams and then she wants to enroll in a Masters Program somewhere outside of cross over a bridge normally brings people together but here it seems to tear them apart. One of my first memories of traveling through france was visiting some of the countrys stunning chateaus or castles in the countryside aside from the famous ones like chantilly there are thousands across france from tiny states to allow brit palaces but many of them are in danger of decaying beyond repair so a frenchman devise a solution that is if you fancy owning a piece of history. Its like a castle straight out of a fairy town surrounded by tarts and a moat yet ashely reclaimed by nature. I am. The chateau de la marsh and on your dates back to the thirteenth century pillaged during the french revolution it underwent a major reconstruction in the eighteenth hundreds gutted by fire in one nine hundred thirty two the shadows fall into disrepair as its owner lacks the funds to restore it but now help as it happened thanks to crowdfunding for just fifty euros anyone can become the proud owner of a castle though just one of many owners. Like them are short on their many french chateaus are just waiting to be rescued. Julia marquis heads the adopt a chateau association here hes speaking to a woman who lives near the chateau delamont shop on yeah hes hoping to win her over to the idea of restoring the property and shes very receptive. It was. I have a relationship with this ruined its a living ruin with a soul that lives through the changing seasons. Juliane marcie has made it his goal to save as many south ruins as possible his Association Estimates that some six hundred of frances more than thirty thousand chateau are endangered. In a decade it will be ten times as many and the danger is great because no ones considering how to maintain or realize. That very day their chateaus neighbor becomes a prospective owner soon afterwards the five hundred thousand euros target is reached in the end of a one point six Million Euros comes together the chateau de la mar chandon year has been saved and its more than eight hundred thousand new owners can all feel like theyre the king of the castle.
