Yes. The most traditional. Thing to do all at any time. Check in with a web special. Take a tour of germany state by state on d. W. Dot com. Hello and a very warm welcome to Focus On Europe and we begin in france which has lifted the state of emergency that followed the Terror Attacks of twenty fifteen but remains in a constant state of acute alarm in may of this year a knife wielding islamist killed one person and injured four others in paris its the kind of thing of course the brings back painful memories in france memories of
the attacks on the bottle and Concert Hall The Offices of Charlie Hebdo all the Southern City of needs. So francis Security Forces continue to maintain a high level of vigilance at all times and the result is that the police are massively overstretched both operationally racking up millions of hours of overtime and just as important emotionally so what impact does it all have on ordinary cops on guys like Maxine Green Earth who joined the force simply to catch thing as we find out now theres much more to the job than that. The palace of that side is one of frances most famous landmarks and theyre full well so a potential terrorist targets. Police officer maxine are no nos the tourist standing here on the street who have yet to pass through the strict security are especially vulnerable. Thats why he and his fellow Police Officers need to be especially vigilant in the past terrorist scouted out the targets of their attacks
and involved its. For people who are behaving suspiciously and i could pose a Security Risk for instance those are just sit around and take notes or photos or people who shoot photos from inside a car keep on driving around in a. Were trying out those kinds of people right away. From us is police have been on constant alert since twenty fifteen when a series of brutal Terror Attacks by islamic extremists shocks the nation more than Two Hundred Forty people have died in such attacks since twenty fifteen. The French Police are to prevent such attacks from happening any time anywhere so officers have put in some twenty two Million Dollars of overtime in recent years. First and foremost were here to protect the symbols of french when i parked and i got
a day after day is pretty tough you have to see how you can do it on. Foot if there is an attack then were not allowed to think of ourselves. At the market there you have to ensure the security of others. Is secure hes in a maximum the governor should a terrorist attack a coma or nerve and his colleagues a no longer supposed to wait for any of each unit which in the past often arrive too late the officers are to take action themselves and potentially stop a massacre. They are to receive special training as well as bullet proof vests and more powerful weapons but many feel overwhelmed and frightened as in recent years the police themselves have become a terrorist target. On june the thirteenth Twenty Sixteen just west of paris an islamic terrorist killed a Police Officer and his partner a Police Secretary in front of the couples three year old son that shops their
colleagues across from. This is who could create a park ill say theres a real psychosis amongst Police Officers because were professionals so. We officers know the repeat people who wont hesitate to identify as and our families before trackers down and go after us. The lack of free time the hostility they face and the fear of terrorism proved to be too much for many last year more than sixty Police Officers took their own lives they often killed themselves at their workplace. A member of the French Senate has examined the incidents and sounded the alarm he says many officers feel the state has let them down. Yes. A cultural revolution needs to take place in the management of the National Police there needs to be more investment to buy newer vehicles a renovate buildings to bring them up to standards its simply
a matter of safety when it comes to the vehicles its the minimum demanded of every other administration. But maxime are no thinks that will solve all the problems the Terrorist Threat remains it may not be visible but its there. By the end of twenty nineteen around forty Dangerous Jihadists who have served their sentences will be released from french jails so for officers like her nerve the fight against terror will continue. Its hardly the job he signed up for when you become a policeman because you enjoyed playing Cops And Robbers and youre like a little action bar for now i go home and thinking how happy i am like nothing happened. Even if the Terrorist Threat has changed his work entirely maksim are no plans to continue keeping Law And Order in france. And we go to austria now where last Christmas Eve the people of the Tiny Mountain community of vols narrowly escaped disaster and so after a massive landslide sent tons of rubble crushing close to be terribly in village no one was injured but the incident was a further sign of how Climate Change is impacting alpine environments and putting lives at risk and as Farmer Rudolph got found out the problem is that its well known impossible to predict when and where the next natural catastrophe moments occur. Get just have 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 metres of rock funded down into the valley bearing the road. The rock slide came to a stop just twenty meters from his house it was Christmas Eve twenty seventeen. Kinda 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 brenda may have seen the cycle get sees it has nothing short of america all that he can sit together with his family today. Nobody came to any harm. The cat family breeds cattle. In the some of the young animals are up in the High Mountain fields but the life stop on his pride and joy he says he gets of being famous for generations and intend to keep it that way. Thats.

So its called rick no one could have predicted this happening now plus its always possible for it to happen we know that nobody could have forseen it would happen now when there could and could. Heisler 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 really beautifully get intercepted Station Increases and indications are it will then well have to expect more events of this kind 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. When construction on the new red begins
a geologist will be watching every movement on the slopes above ready to start work immediately if need be. If you will you vote for your kind of get still has too much to do fixing the damage from the last rock slide to worry about potential future ones much of his posture is gone. The holster of it and the total area has grown and there are more than half. Now or just a little sanction is all weve got left the other part stretch from the woods back there to the next neighbor for the house with them next not bought.

Both sides coordinate their efforts and things go smoothly we achieve our objectives for us. The young man in the hills of morocco have also realized their strength in numbers salif and his friends are planning their next attempt now they also want to escape the brutality of the moroccan police.

It can be hard to distinguish courage from desperation for salif and his friends its europe or bust. Now its believed the horrific war in syria now in its eighth year has left more than one in ten of the countrys citizens either dead or wounded many of them children and as a result millions have fled the country many to turkey and the south Western Turkey since you have guns young turk is where one remarkable young girl and her family are found refuge is her name and she lost her right leg during a bombing raid on her hometown of aleppo but shes been learning to walk again and remains incredibly reflective and optimistic margie does days start very early. And they are exhausting. If i would like
to visit him and her some children when they wake up they just jump out of their beds wash their faces get dressed take their bags and go i need an hour to properly put on my leg and if it doesnt work and need to ask my mom for help. In twenty thirteen the family fled syria to turkey was five years old at the time and her brother ebro him only two she still remembers the escape from the net pole very clearly and the day of the attack. We were in a pickup truck with ten other people when it happened. Just after we got on the truck a plane fired on us. Suddenly everything was burning. And everything was black around us. When we left the hospital there were many covered dead bodies outside. One body was uncovered. My sister closed her eyes and she didnt see it but i saw that body and i wish i hadnt looked because i cannot forget it. The neighborhood where margie does family live has changed drastically in the past years. Was once famous for its trade as a markets but now its known for its refugees the city has taken in half a million syrians but living together is not as how monia is as a day looks at first glance javelin to suit it but when they realize im serious they charge me more they doubled my rent from two hundred to four hundred lire and i even have to pay more for water and electricity that my neighbors do because i supposedly use more water we want them to go back now weve been feeding them for five six years thats enough. There were
a lot of problems in the beginning but now everything is fine the majority of syrians have integrated theyve even feasted the economy. On this lets face it of course looks good i detailed well. If it was not does that hurt. Yes here a little but its the home office right you dont need to go to the clinic every couple of months to check up is uncomfortable for her. But the scar on her leg doesnt bother her anymore and thats very important. Has more fun exercising she has made such progress that her Prosthetic Leg is hardly noticeable only Climbing Stairs still proves difficult. For her physiotherapist its important that she keeps her head up she shouldnt think of her leg at all. We want our patients to feel comfortable with the percy selves so they can do
everything in their daily lives without limitations. That include walking on different types of flaws and services such as sand and gravel as well as steep slopes and stands we train all of that. Is brave and she has a strong will. Thats why she learned so quickly. And made such great progress. On the way back home there is time for play on the playground. Or loves it here but many of the other children of void her she says because of her christian tag like it because when i read that when the other kids at school didnt know about my situation they were nice but when they learned about my leg they treated me differently they wouldnt play with me anymore thats
why i prefer it when no one at school knows about my like grown ups have also reacted strangely my teacher for example acted normally at first while they get their senshi seen my Prosthetic Leg shes treated me extra carefully. When i forgot that the latest there she reminded me that i could not have the lives that they did as a kid a lot of. Times. But you know my fathers there as well she doesnt seem very often hes working a lot trying to put food on the table. Then its time for the children to go to bed margie that puts her Prosthetic Leg away for the night. And even him crawls into her bed he loves it when his sister recent a story as he falls asleep on the house its about a boy in toric
a six year old superhero from a level but it could just as well be about. Be a bit of hooey. Wonderful merger we wish her The Very Best indeed now if youre feeling down on your luck and youre willing to part with some small change how about a trip to rome specifically to the eternal citys legendary tourney the fountain it attracts hundreds of thousands of tourists each year old believing that throwing a coin into the fountain will bring them good luck but my question is what happens to the koans and how much are they worth. Sand but if you throw a coin into the Trevi Fountain you will return to right but you can wish for other things as well you just have to stand with your back to the fountain and toss the coin with your right hand so what are people wishing for order door here goes as have beautiful city it got me that Interview Stage so i hope my interview we are be
passed. Health and happiness for my family. Lots of wishes things knots of coins three times a week the municipality sends a team around to collect the cash they vacuum it into a big pot the pickings are rich up to Eight Thousand euros per connection in the Summer Season when the tourists are out in force. We explain to people that the koreans will go to those less fortunate to also have dreams and hopes in their hearts and would also a Tosser Corner near if they could but i cant afford to see what i mean. The cash is taken to a Catholic Charity with a parade see or not he and his team clean the coins sort them and remove all kinds of other objects and trinkets. Some coins come wrapped in a piece of paper with a message written on it. So i was over this huge sometimes
very heartfelt wishes or even prayers usually written by foreign visitors that sort of thing appears to be common on what we saw. Last year the coins are these up to One Million Four Hundred Thousand euros. Theres still much here before they take into the bank. The money goes to charities that are within one of the most of the money goes to help families in need of the citys social Services Department decides who gets. To be to decide to do the money back at the Trevi Fountain the. Millions keep on flying and some were even fulfilled on this boat the wife of a on from the failed war damaged at least the coins go to a good call and say. What a job counting the coins from the three of the fountain thats alone must bring you some good fortune im sure and i do wish you all The Very Best of the way its a cup whatever you do though wed be delighted if you can join us next time around
