Trophy on home soil in one thousand nine hundred ninety eight now back then it was hoped that what was a very much a Multicultural Team would help to unite a multicultural but divided country but thats not quite what happened in france remains a society dogged by tensions over race but perhaps just perhaps killian mba pay with his huge flat like ability will make a difference focus on europe says that a durga has been gauging the mood in friends beginning in a stronghold of the far right. Finds an obvious celebrated frances world cup victory on the towns Market Square to take you know enthusiasm was reserved for striking back pain son to an algerian mother and cameroonian father. Was in washington but perry i love you about my other she wants to marry you like im. The best id like to have him as a son am the child of immigrants as the fan favorite that something new for aberdeen is which is a fast enough the right wing nationalists who prey on finn is caused by the towns high Unemployment Rate but amid all the euphoria there are just a few who are willing to voice their complaints about the ethnic makeup of the winning team. But fisher im not especially excited now im french that if you do the french team theyre almost all black. That both as you were used to everything. Just a two hour drive away from a view. Of paris when many play is on the a keep trickle or come from. Many immigrant families live in the suburbs. Grew up in this building in bondi. Looked after him when he was small and back a re was in the same local soccer club with him for them the world cup victory is a turning point. Usually when the cameras are harris for something negative reports about the suburbs and whats going on. And now they have Something Different something positive on what youre actually a little kid from how you made this in the world internationally its a completely different picture. Really to go there even talking about pay in america and china im proud of the whole world is talking about the for me its like bondi is become a big city to draw. On those of you going to. Suddenly the residents here at the center of a triumph being celebrated by nearly everyone in fronts. It seems as if the every day racism in france has been overcome its back and really is still wary of this new wave of compassion. Thats close enough to france at last there would have been the polemic South African fronts too many africans on the team who would always be that out of shoot basically we always have to win good. Old ways win and be exemplary french citizens at the same time the players on the team on demonstrating National Pride and thus to some in many skeptics. Thats removed from what i see is at least now they are singing the National Anthem its all thats nice. The Previous Team didnt sing the National Anthem thats not patriotic of course it was. Too many young french people in oblivion the world cup victory is a new start for the country following three years of fan of terrorism. The first time i was only four now im experiencing this its magical this is our generation were all here. For the. Thanks to this world cup when many in france have regained faith in themselves and in their country. Well from that miracle for france to austria that a man who believes in miracles of a very different kind is the alpine farmer rudolph and last Christmas Eve his home was nearly buried by a series of massive landslides now nobody was injured which rudolph puts down to divine intervention but the hard fact remains that in his terribly in village of vals and the rest of the outs Climate Change is having a huge impact and putting lives at risk the problem is its well nigh impossible to predict when and where the next natural catastrophe might occur. Gets just has to step outside to see the scale of the disaster that almost was he remembers it as if it were yesterday in seconds one hundred fifteen thousand cubic meters of rock funded down into the valley burying the road. The rock slide came to a stop just twenty meters from his house it was Christmas Eve twenty seventeen. The kinderhook come on the other kids got home just ten minutes before it happened i had been in sankyo dick for the Childrens Church service there and the father said he wouldnt do a sermon that day because it would last too long for the kids so long or if theyd done is ten minutes sermon the tragedy would have happened. The kids have a Guardian Angel im sure of it but brendons me of the cycle will get has nothing short of america all that he can sit together with his family today. Nobody came to any harm. But that family breeds cattle. In the some of the young animals are up in the High Mountain fields but the life stopped his pride and joy he says he gets of being famous for generations and intend to keep it that way. Theres only ever been farming here ever since a bigamist settlement only farming one tough give no lodges no ski lift nothing only farming gone with bricks up. The boughs a town high valley is still largely untouched by tourism. Its meadows woods rushing mountain streams and a couple of hill farms but the a deal can change at any moment geologists going to heisler found that out for himself. That Iranian State government had contracted him to karen examine the slopes behind the guts from nearly two months before because they had a hunch about it but the experts didnt find any problems. So rick no one could have predicted this happening no less its always possible for it to happen we know that nobody could have forseen it would happen now when there couldnt couldnt. Highschool is often out in the helicopter part of his job is to monitor danger zones from the air. There are plenty of them in toronto and scientists predict that Climate Change will create many more. Its just a couple of minutes flight to be a stop meant four hundred meters above the valley. It looks stable at the moment. And when the leader slipped it intercepted station increases and indications are it will then well have to expect more events of this current when we measure the slopes we find that nearly all of them are on the move it would be impossible to monitor all the slopes and to roll or even just the ones above the settled areas receive the. Stream but the geologists do the best they can they have systems to measure the direction and distances between reflectance theyve set up on the rock faces and the surroundings of landslide danger zones. Once a month they also employ a High Precision laser scanner so they can listen when construction on the new road begins a geologist will be watching every movement on the snipes above ready to start work immediately if need be. Would you vote for you. Get still has too much to do fixing the damage from the last rock slides to worry about potential future ones much of his posture is gone. To hell if they have it and if the total area is gone there are more than half now just a little section is all weve got left the other part stretch from the woods back there to the next neighbor. From next not. Since the landslide there have been two rows of metal tank traps outside the house they may start falling boulders but they all say render his posture useless. See precautions like that are necessary to make it safe for the was he wouldnt even be allowed to live in that house. Neither hold off gets nor his neighbors have any intention of leaving their farms no more than when the rope came close to flattening met housing is real obvious fact replied to how we said were staying on were celebrating christmas with the kids and were fine with it but mostly just have to keep calm and the best thing you can do is the space that was once the. The hill families seem to have rock solid will power and will stronger than the mountains. Now turkish president red chip tired and blames followers of this man the islamic cleric for toller glenn for the fails two thousand and sixteen coup in turkey as a result he ordered the arrest or dismissal of thousands of progun and lawyers judges Police Officers and members of the armed forces that prompted many others to flee to germany where most were quickly granted asylum but former members of the golan community accuse it of being a sect like for instance scientology so how much to the of thora g. s in germany really know about the inner workings of the movement going to qurna has been finding out. Were on our way to meet a man at an Asylum Seekers home somewhere in eastern germany well call him funny he wants to stay anonymous to protect his relatives in turkey where he was a teacher of religion and a functionary in the good and movement. In danger of being arrested he and his family fled to germany. Turkish president richard tired out or one was once an ally now he persecutes members of the guard and movement as if they were terrorists. I voted for him soo i have nothing to hide their split between them and i was came after several statements from the governments but we strictly reject violence weve always wanted to convince people through dialogue. But turkish government sees things differently it blames supporters of the muslim preacher for too large good end for the attempted coup two years ago and its demanding germany hand over those who resigned here to one of the masterminds behind the coup the a mom idea excuse he said to be hiding out in this berlin apartment building. Hes suspected of having commanded and loyalist officers during the night of the coup on orders of the movement. I might have seen him before that though hes supposed to be hiding heir hardly ever going out. Its true but its a long time ago and its not past two years i only saw him once. That. The Green Movement denies any involvement in Political Violence the movement represents itself in germany as being focused on dialogue and education it runs thirty schools such as this private high school in berlins district that also wants to build several childrens Daycare Centers in the german capital but a former member of the movement has given an anonymous t. V. Interview in which he describes the group as a cult. With secret parallel structures. Its dangerous because it projects an outward image that has nothing to do with reality it isnt the managing board that has the power but the imminence. These images come from turkey and theyre brought to germany under various pretenses. Several thousand goodland supporters have fled to germany from turkey in the past two years theyre welcomed by their fellow believers in germany like here in berlin the organization has its own Refugee Initiative for people like fundie the Asylum Seeker in eastern germany can get help looking for work and accommodation fatties counselor told him he has no need to worry about being granted asylum. By being in china ninety percent of the decisions are made in favor of the applicants. And i think. Thats a very good number i think this is. A growing movement has responded to accusations of wanting to gradually make germany a Muslim Country with events like this socalled culture olympics. Pupils from glen supported schools around the world to advocate for peaceful coexistence. He buys this days make to be a movement is based on the values that we have those are for instance the compatibility of religion in modern life religion and democracy and that the modern understanding of islam. Cite this. But experts are down for all thats truly the case they say federal are good and has never been a reformist theologian and the dialogue with nonbelievers is simply a means to an end. And it is the case that dialogue is merely an instrument to expand the sphere of influence of a conservative form of islam that is oriented along sharia law. Should not pay attention. To how they represent themselves publicly but to look at the whole picture and that contains an islamic vision for society here in the west. Yet not even the churches in germany fear contact with the girl and movement for the planned house of one in berlin where the three major monotheistic religions are to have a place to pray together the protestant churches partnered with representatives of the Green Movement and the catholic how to a Publishing House has been publishing books by glenn and his followers for years. Which is one reason why forty the Asylum Seeker is happy to be here. Repairing German Government a lot of gratitude now i would like to become integrated as quickly as a can and if possible work as a teacher again. Through. The glen movements influence in germany is growing bolstered by those on the run from persecution in turkey. Now on a different note the gypsies of spain are sometimes known as the roma people but generally they prefer to call themselves the fatah knows its a Proud Community of an estimated seven hundred thousand people famous of course for their flamenco music but until recently many young fit our nose were marginalized shuts out from Spanish Society there are however real signs that things are now beginning to change and its women who are leading the way. Of course for Young High School dropouts in madrid here roma boys and girls can learn to create tables and text in excel and word the best will later get to work in a Supermarket Chain adding practical experience to the training. Its a Second Chance for young people who have long had to fight strong prejudice on the dream and just in school i was always told that learning wasnt for me because at least my parents have always supported me isnt about me but if youre going to get to. Know young roma have Additional Support from social action and Educational Programs and then air using them to escape the margins of Spanish Society he tonneau is spanish for gypsy but here the roma carry the name with pride hardly any where else do they have as many opportunities the women have made good use of them saw as a moody oh for instance is a young engineer she no longer sees herself as an exception in school she was a man and physics why is she went on to study Mechanical Engineering now shes fulfilled a dream and been accepted for a Trainee Program with a major carmaker shes the only he time now. By year law and one of the others know im a he tana at work its no problem at all i dont make any secret of it in the country now tell anyone who wants to hear about it i mean we exist gitano is to study and have normal jobs and integrated. Of the he tanos accepted to university an estimated eighty percent are women pastore a fairly good ana is a labor lawyer and partner in a Small Law Firm she came from a poor background and was the first in her family to attend college why are so many women learning qualified professions she can only answer that for herself. You know just what it is here im certain that if i had been a man i never would have attended university you know as a man then i would have had many ways to earn money. As a woman i only had two choices mary was studying you could Say University was my escape that this winter they had it for. So i dared to be among the heat on us is strong this advanced training courses for University Graduates only theyve studied law psychology or social work as part of a new support program they counsel others each on us. Thats. One such mentor is lucky. Her client is a housewife and mother of two who wants to earn our own money by working with teenagers if possible. Advises or on training and what salary to expect a minimum of what the she encourages women to fight prejudice she says its better for he tonnage to talk to another he turn up and try the standard labor office counseling a more fitting to know my clients see me as a hit town i like themselves one with a normal profession they say shes got it made why shouldnt i do that too we come from the same culture as most and you know we face the same difficulties and so on that motivates than. In the Columbus Hall of civility city hall the he tanos honor their young professionals. Awards are presented to the twenty nine most successful among them including sarra the young engineer. The patron is bigotries current a political advisor to the government and one of the most successful he tunnels of all she says that he tunnels are at last taking their place in Spanish Society. We just have to realize what a long wait weve travelled to where we came from and all the things weve achieved. Now there are many young he time know isnt it time as taking the challenge isnt getting ahead just forty years ago we never even would have crept to that. Nineteen of the twenty nine awards were given to women disadvantaged her centuries that he towners are catching up fast and forging ahead and the women seem to be up shining the men in the lead from past to future. Now heres an astonishing Number Thirteen million tons thats how much Plastic Waste finds its way into the worlds oceans each year so its high time many say to declare war on plastic and one of the biggest battles is against this enemy the single use plastic straw can you believe it here in the European Union alone more than thirty six billion of the straws a frozen away and yearly it is without a doubt time to rethink. The Mission Death to plastic. Thumbs up for stainless steel to promote their metal drinking straw the twenty year old economics students funny and manual are taking it to the bars and restaurants of brussels in their free time. They dont earn any money from their activism todays focus is marcels by cafe. The goal is to convince moray the manager to switch to their straws. For relief and a project is meant to prove that you can help the environment without much effort to convert we already think he can logically we were using a plastic come sumption with our reusable straw was a reusable bottles but we want to appeal to the people who arent ready to completely alter their lifestyles to come pick first puff of them or. The stainless steel straws cost one to two euros apiece much more than their plastic counterparts for proper care they can last a lifetime. The two women order their straws from china because there arent yet any manufacturers in europe. But the man is their consumption of Plastic Straws in the e. U. Is seventy one per person per year. You think and that of course you get whats really great is that were getting a lot of feedback from restaurants they say hey you know stores that sparking a lot of discussion among our guests say look at their drinks and suddenly theyre discussing the global Plastic Waste problem so i suppose a creating awareness put me on the stand if you. Said that im not sure. And so are things disposable plates. The buy a future a company in the netherlands makes products out of sugar cane recycled cardboard composite plastic and wood all materials that dont need to be grown especially for these products this party plate for instance started life as a palm leaf. The industry is growing quickly. Slightly more expensive but if you would take into account the environmental damage thats being done who pays up to clean up the mess and thats basically local governments or n. G. O. S that do that so if if we would move to a carbon tax and through pricing then probably by wasting a possible war would work out work out cheaper. Brussel still produces a lot of Plastic Waste the campaspe Company Wants to and that. That produces tree hundred fifty million trash bags each year made from purely plant based materials. You know. One of the major materials comes from a thesaurus not the kind of car do still from sicily in. Fifteen years ago someone came up with the idea of using this plant commercially the more. Or less extracted from the seeds to produce the bags it takes centuries for a normal plastic bag to break down but under the right conditions it can take just six months to a year for a composite of a bag to decompose. Stainless steel straws. Pearlie flights. Compatible bags small steps towards a world with less plastic.
