topics Spain Refugee Crisis; Sweden The Elin Ersson Case; Britain Cellar Wars Beneath London; Iceland Hunting Endangered Whales; Italy Stamping out. Be in. Spain is a country with high unemployment which by the mere. Theres just not enough jobs for so many people but i got up on to him. The other spaniard see things differently antonio about volunteers for an Aid Organization and supports migrants like any way he can get it he helps Plant Vegetables and takes care of freight takes. On tonio sees the refugees as an economic factor the plantations in the region couldnt get by without them. You know after i get up from thanks to these people many others are getting rich at the immigrants live off what little money they can earn so theyre cheaper labor. Party fun of them having a job or the problem they have to put up with everything and never complain. Antonino thinks they can be proud of what theyve accomplished so far but most of
them are ashamed to be living in a slum in europe. You know peering through from they dont want their families to see them living here in these conditions thats logical you can understand that. I dont think they ever lived like this in africa but if you go. There is not ashamed on the contrary he wants people to know whats really happening in europe. And hes not ready to give up on his dream of a better life. A move in modern us no one living here sometimes ill go to work to get more money to send to my family offered to help myself here you know. For my future it will be to go. Eventually once he is saved enough money intends to return to the ivory coast my son needs me he says all of africa needs us but thats in the future right
now hes got to figure out where he can sleep tonight. While migrants are facing an uncertain future across europe as governments step up deportations of those whove been denied asylum but it is a controversial practice especially returning migrants back to afghanistan and critics say the country is not safe in sweden and activists made headlines were refusing to sit down on a flight taking off from gothenburg preventing the deportation of an afghan man Ellen Erickson has been celebrated by some for her courage and criticized by others for breaking the law we caught up with her to find out more. When and shauna gets together with her friends these days they usually talk about her protest which made headlines Around The World she still getting messages of support. Refused to take a seat on
a flight from gothenburg to istanbul in order to prevent the deportation of an Asylum Seeker to afghanistan video of the incident has gone viral. Then she took this step to protest against swedens asylum policies. Were not giving the correct legal procedure they have the right to we are the government and the Migration Office are doing so much things thats possible it can use to make sure that they deport and react as many people as possible. And works for an association in gothenburg that provides assistance for under age refugees. Most of them come from afghanistan. They see hope in people like you trying to keep them from being deported even if it means breaking the law. Or your figure theyre trying to deport me to i took them to court and ive been
waiting for a ruling for a year. It could take another year ive lived in sweden for several years now and i have no idea how id react to being deported if you know or dont do it over the over the. Actions have sparked debate about swedens asylum and immigration policies and recent polls indicate that right wing populist saw gaining ground ahead of septembers parliamentary elections they blame immigrants for an increase in crime in suburban areas. And to stop the next government should stop immigration was. Born. And young people who face death at home are allowed to stay and if we let in all sorts of shady characters weve got. The conservative Opposition Party moderate turn out says ash on committed a crime and says she should be punished for it. We would do it in
sweden deportation cases are decided in a court of law not by politicians and you cant have private citizens interfering with that process of the suit but then sean says the courts ignore the dangers facing deportees in afghanistan and thats why she decided to protest. So in afghanistan we are when you are deported there they can see that you are from europe they can see that youre wearing clothes from europe that you have a different way of walking off talking and its a really bad situation but if he.

that. This social media doesnt know where i am or who my. Tsars. Says she plans to keep protesting because of the dangers many afghans face once they return home despite all the recent pressure she remains determined. So even with guests like stuffing the dictations to afghanistan than we did probably a still together and i hope so because they are part of my life now but.

Bad so must a low end his living on the streets of The Eternal City he has been a taxi driver here for three decades hes lost millions of kilometers. But sometimes the job can get really dangerous every day must allow his to deal with countless paul tells. Me so this problem isnt new the citys politicians havent paid attention to the situation for fifteen years if i could write off tire damage on my tax form with me id not have to pay any more income
tax. No one seems to know how many parts hells that are in room.
