Hello and a warm welcome to Focus On Europe im so me so much gonna donating organs can save lives so why does it happen so rarely in Europe Germany is facing an acute shortage more than ten thousand critically ill patients here are waiting for a life saving kidney liver long or heart transplant many will never live to get one every eight hours a patient dies because he or she didnt receive an organ in time. Now the system
behind Organ Donation and transplants in germany is complex and bureaucratic you have to volunteer to be an organ donor here and not enough people sign up now in spain on the other hand youre automatically a donor unless you opt out and spanish hospitals Work Together quickly and efficiently to get available organs to those who need them over the last twenty five years that has made the country the world leader in this area and that strong and germans like thomas de niro who are found a new lease on life and say. Music producer thomas de niro urgently needs a new kidney and its not the first time he had a transplant fourteen years ago when both his own kidneys failed he was already living on the Spanish Island of new york at the time and that might have saved his life. I mean to spain in Two Thousand And One and then two years later when my kidneys failed i was in
a country where you can get kid makes four or five times faster than in germany on. Board. His hoping this time hell also get a new kidney without too much delay because in spain more people donate organs after they die than anywhere else in the world. Thats because by law everyone there is automatically an organ donor unless they actively opt out its a well organized system. For the moment thomas still has to have parity nail dialysis every day it takes hours and limits his activities dramatically hed have to wait about eight years on average in germany for a new kidney in spain the waiting list is just two years long reason enough was some to try to fiddle the system. Now declaring that they live in spain i know two or three whove created a pretend life here buying houses setting up small firms also that they can benefit
from the Spanish Health care system. And have faryal had a Liver Transplant ten years ago today he is back in good shape. Miguel has a problem with people coming from abroad just to benefit from the spanish system although he also sympathizes. I cant imagine what it must be like to have to wait for so many years i know what waiting means its not a life but for me it went by fast. Miguel understands the need. But he also regrets that the rise in Transplant Tourism means that people who really do live in space will have to wait longer for a donor organ. Donor or spaniards donate their organs for people in spain. Of course we know that an oregon liver or kidney might be sent elsewhere if its not needed here but if more and more people
come here for transplants then this will have to be stopped and thats the only thing that makes sense. Transplant tourism is technically banned in the e. U. But its also difficult to control many Kidney Transplants are carried out at the University Hospital empowerment of new york. The Senior Consultant here has operated on many germans he treats anybody with a neat its not his job to determine whether a foreigner actually lives in spain or just pretends to do so in order to benefit from this system. Theres Freedom Of Movement in the e. U. So its hard to distinguish. Your fortys have to ensure there is order. And why they have to set clear rules. And. The pressure is rising. Now the National Transplant organization at the Spanish Health ministry has developed new criteria for foreign patients. In the future only
people who have lived in spain for a minimum of two years will be eligible to receive organs. I want that we have to track things much more closely. People who have a lot of money can pretend to be living here people with less fall by the wayside and have to wait longer in their own countries for an Organ Donation. Never. Thomas de niro cant understand why there arent more organ donors in germany he blames a lack of coordination and the fact that you have to expressly state that you want to donate your organs when you die as a. Terrible that people from germany are going abroad even to india to get an organ that they cant get at home because of a. Needs to be changed. I think. Everyone who dies on spanish soil is a potential organ donor so who knows one day
a german tourist could be the one to save thomas de niros life. Now to turkeys border with syria a stretch of more than Eight Hundred kilometers of Land Fortified with a wall of barrier was completed early this year with help from the European Union its meant to stop smuggling and illegal crossings but it has also prevented syrians from entering turkey is already home to more than three point five million Syrian Refugees providing for them has been a mammoth task that of strain the entire country including a border towns like way hundley now the seven year war in syria appears to be entering the final stage and millions more civilians could be on the move but in turkey solidarity with the refugees is waning and the border wall has what some syrian families right down the middle. Of do not gz sees his sister
fatima only on mobile videos usually she doesnt have good news. Weeks ago they were as strikes here again and the little one was hurt can you see it almost thank god it wasnt worse. The girl his sister remained behind he cannot. Phoebe her house was destroyed in an airstrike and she left with her children to our parents village. Where the basis. For going to but later it was bound to. Be my simply didnt believe the war would last this long and. This so would have. Done a gz shows us how he lives in turkey in a makeshift tent village. With his wife the hawk and five children they all share one space. But we live here because nothing else is possible. You know you should see this place and wonder. I mean the ground outside gets muddy and its ice cold its a really hard life and. As difficult as life might be here up till ajeet and his family are at least in safety three years ago turkey effectively closed its border to syria and started building a wall three meters high and strictly guarded. Its more than Eight Hundred kilometers long and still expanding. The effects of that decision can be seen here on the left on the turkish side empty space on the right in Syria Refugee Camps practically to the Horizon Aid Groups feed the people there. Aid workers like. At the Turkish Red Crescent depot in how tight hes packing boxes
for the next a tomboy to egypt. In one corner of the warehouse there is a display of what his team takes across the border to syria food toys Washing Powder and hygiene supplies cooking utensils clothes were going to go there if he is in mostly these items we can care for One Hundred Twenty Five Thousand people five head to toe in the comes for displaced people and it liberates. But for everything to go quickly and smoothly its crucial that the transporters are well organized a few hours later cardia can do send the aid convoy arrive at the Border Crossing the red crescent workers do this kind of to at least four to five times a week and that will be its either going to bring our aid supplies into the people there and we believe they did or they are always there for the day and night for them explosions and bomb attacks have become a part of their daily reality. Thats hard for me to take. Lets hope that this
fighting comes to an end and all of these displaced people can return to their cities because. In the small border town over a hundred many turks say theyre proud their country has been providing aid for years no other country in the world has taken in more refugees from syria than techie but many also say enough is enough the Currency Crisis has made everything more expensive people have their own problems they say. As they get it we have already taken into many syrians who cant take more and dont want to stay with us if we had to flee fighting we do the same its fine with me if they can both of us who were there for a generation of what they take our jobs away. Or used to earn eighty lire day here now the syrians do the same work for half the pay. Result of my going to have the energy to and his family feel the skepticism and the resentment
still they are grateful here in the camp turkeys president is considered a hero even more so since he has managed for now to avert a final bloody offensive on it. Like he had them all coffee. Of course its not the end of the conflict. But when youre drowning you grasp at straws there were three in one one of at least the killing will stop. Now i hope where you. Were about about them or what ever egypts future is i do my g. D. Wants to see his sister fatima again not just on a small stream but in Peace And Freedom some day. Here live how long you have to learn but in fact you get. The hunt for Hidden Treasure it has driven adventurous to plumb the depths of the deepest oceans in the darkest caves and
believe it or not the pastime has turned into a growing problem here in germany more and more socalled detectorists are arming themselves with a Metal Detectors and theyre going out on the prowl looking for profit some legally some not and thats whats important Archaeological Sites at risk. They call Treasure Hunters detectorists or just plain looters plundered Archaeological Sites are a growing problem in germany million barclay is in charge of excavations for the two thousand year old roman Burial Ground whenever possible she and her team dig in secrecy for fear of illegal Treasure Hunters. Then done twenty but when this all fever takes over they just keep digging and they might make off with crucial fines that would have told us the dates or enabled some other conclusion is that vick discoveries that are forever lost to science its hard to pin a monetary figure on the damage caused by illegal Treasure Hunters but police estimate
its in the millions of europes. Treasure hunting with special detectors has evolved into a kind of sport many hunters wear camouflage and carry high tech equipment there after profit and adventure bugs. Long its a myth when you take up this hobby you have certain expectations and then one day you might hear that signal somewhere that could indicate something really interesting and you think this is it. Every year Treasure Hunters in germany hold a major event a big rally for digging up metal and gold coins well finds the greatest number of the most value is declared the countrys national champion. Gold gold gold the first signal the first corn and its a major five a gold coin. Many Treasure Hunters view it as a sport but not Archaeologist Mary in particular at the championships she tries to
talk to the detectorists as they call themselves and inform them about the damage they can cause and. My worst experience was when we were investigating of the aerial sight during the night someone went through it with some kind of trident and dug up everything they call it one for me and you could see the marks it left and a lot of things were ruined this couple of players helped out by her Colleague Pay to him he often runs into detectors these days and always tells them that they need a permit and what to do if they find something legally. Basically every dollar i get it should be labeled put in a finds bag and numbered and it went perfect. All these are roman coins presumably from the first century. Many detectorists through stuff like this on the scrap boxes to here its numbered measured and entered into the find report thats
how it should be done many Treasure Hunters cooperate willingly with archaeologists but others resent what they see is unwarranted interference there after the adventure like x. L. Telephone cocked he maintains a website called the german detectorists union. Just can claim you need a permit in general and that anyone who doesnt help one is considered a looter but that simply not true as i thought i often heard a Blanket Statements like that you can go anywhere you want with your Metal Detector and not have to worry about restrictions thats absolutely false that is different to fudge the two sides are at loggerheads and there are black sheep in excavation sites without a permit. Doesnt guns gets you those are a looter is after very specific objects theyre organized like mafiosos they target certain Burial Mounds and dig illegally the whole thing is a commercial enterprise it would lie to the archaeologists its a disaster when its a thorn in before you just want to get up if in
a grave there are Bone Carvings and burial objects but all the vessels and horns are already gone because someone stolen them back then yeah thats a huge loss for us that a fan for the reason. Ideally the archaeologists would like to turn their detectorists into partners and in the process help them understand the value the buried treasures have for posterity. And thats increasingly necessary as more people here in germany become amateur treasure. Now to apply facing manufacturing hubs across europe and places like who Bay In Northern France where the Textile Industry once spurred Economic Growth companies have closed up shop and left workers behind so how do you breathe life back into a town thats literally falling apart ask the mayor hes working to turn around the towns fortunes its an effort that takes a clear vision a strong will and
