Check. Or thats the theory at least. But in reality, once theyre inoffice, heads of state often seize complete control, becausethey control security forces. Like president Rodrigo Duterteof the philippines. He doesnt seem bothered much bylaws and statutes. In his battle against the drugstrade in his country, duterte first sought assistance from thepolice, followed by the army. Since last summer, 7,000 peoplehave lost their lives. Reporter ryan was shot twice inthe leg and seven of his friends were killed in anighttime attack by masked assailants. The 18yearold is at a clinic run by Baclaran Church inmetropolitan manila. It mainly serves poor people whocant afford to go to a regular clinic. But ryan fled here from a regular hospital, because he wasfrightened the assailants might come after him again. Ryan we were innocent. Why did they shoot us for noreason . Reporter ryan and his friendsare victims of the the countrys socalled war on drugs itskilled more than 700 people in eight months. And those are police statistics. Dealers and users are beingmurdered, but also people who have nothing to do with drugs and small children. Ryan says one of his murderedfriends was involved in drugs, but not the others. Ryan since that night ive been really frightened. Thats why i havent gone to the police. People say sometimes its the police who shoot people forhaving drugs. Reporter the countryspresident who launched the bloody campaign. Since taking office in june 2016, Rodrigo Duterte hasoverseen and endorsed mayhem police, vigilantes, hiredassassins, and opportunists have been on a killing spree. There is no due process. Why certain people are targetedis anybodys guess. Human rights activists say thesituation is out of control. But not duterte. Rodrigo duterte ive killed about three of them. I have over 4 million drug addicts in my country. For as long as there are drug pushers in the states in mycountry, for as long as there are drug lords, this campaignwill go on until the last, until all of them are killed. Reporter but police rarely get the drug lords. Mostly its the foot soldiers who die. This war on drugs is a kind of political theater arelentless, highly visible use of force. Its a way to cement dutertes strongman image, and boost hispopularity. And it distracts from other,greater problems widespread corruption and massive poverty. The most prevalent drug in the philippines at the moment iscrystal meth. Last september, a police officerwas shot and killed durig a drugsrelated operation. Romeo mandapat junior was gunned down in an ambush. He was 23yearsold. It turns out, he had not beenissued a bulletproof vest. Many frontline officers donthave one. But thats another story. Duterte sent a wreath. Romeos wife aidilee is trainingto become a police officer. Shes determined to carry on. Aidillee mandapat we started this together, and i also said,well see it through together. When we married, you promised wewould both be Wearing Police uniforms. But who will i be married to now . Reporter the killings continue, but the corpses often go missingvery fast. The police have adopted a newstrategy as a means of covering their tracksthey pick up the dead from the streets and send them off inambulances, as if they were still alive. The crime scenes are cleaned up. There are no awkward questions,no bad publicity. Until december, forensic teamswould come and investigate, but no longer. Traces are regularly erased now. Duterte has given the policecarte blanche. The families of the murdered andthe disappeared are turning o humanrights organizations. What happens once dutertes term in office comes to an end in2022 . Many filipinos are devot catholics. The leaders of the Catholic Church in the philippines havebeen slow to speak out against the officially mandated campaignof murder. It wasnt until early februarythat the catholic bishops conference slammed dutertes waron drugs as a reign of terror. The government hit back, callingthe church out of touch father Carlos Ronquillo ofBaclaran Church not only shelters victims of violencesuch as ryan, he has also criticized the president sharply, saying the bloodbath must end. Carlos ronquillo poverty is at the heart of it. And it is not being addressed, and will never be addressed bykilling. When you declare war, you arecreating a situation of fear and you are opening the people tovulnerability. Reporter a priest who speakshis mind is taking a risk in a country where the rule of lawhas in effect been suspended. Reports say the president remains popular, but where fear is widespread, its hard to knowwhat people really think. Ryan can only hope vigilanteswont break into his sanctuary in the church. Host over in central europe, hungary also has anuncompromising leader. The country lies on thesocalled balkan route, which starts in the easternmediterranean and has ben taken by hundreds of thousands ofrefugees trying to reach northern europe. But in autumn 2015, hungary began closing off its southernborder, and has since focused on keeping migrants out. Now its training personnel to beef up patrols. Lining up for shooting practice these are some ofthousands of hungarians recruited by the government tojoin a special border unit. Reporter starting in april,many of these men and women will be tasked with arrestingrefugees on the hungarian border and ordering them to leave byforce if necessary. You have to hold the pistollike this take aim with your arms straight, stay as still aspossible, hold your breath. Reporter the sixmonth crashcourse is funded by the government. After a short briefing, one participant is allowed to speakon camera. Daniel zoltan dunai i think theborder must be protected thats how it used to be. And it will really be necessary in the future. As we venture a question about refugees, our interview is cutshort. Questions about political issuesare off limits. But its not hard to guess whatkind of attitude the new Border Guards are expected to have. Heres Hungarian Prime Minister victor orban at the swearing inceremony for the first group f recruits. Viktor orban there are people who believe migrants want tolive according to european laws and traditions. Thats wrong. Thanks to our police, we are one of the most secure europeancountries. Theres no terrorism, no trucksdriving into crowds of people celebrating. Reporter hungary is sealing itself off. Every day, police and military stop refugees and send them backacross the serbian border, giving them no chance ofapplying for asylum. The commander on duty wontcomment on this but he insists the extra Border Guardsare urgently needed. Zsolt gulyas more than a as a member state, we are committed to this. We have to develop and defend the borders. Reporter across the border in serbia is a makeshift camp nextto the fence. At night, temperatures aredropping to minus 20 degrees. But farad says he would ratherfreeze this close to the u than risk being deported from anofficial serbian camp. Hes been stranded on the balkanroute for almost a year. Hes 18yearsold. Farad hadizada the nights here are really tough, but at leastwe are safe. Anything is better than inafghanistan there i lay awake every night, because someonemight have come to kill e at any moment. Reporter serbian Authorities Say refugees could move intoofficial, heated camps. But thats not so easy. A nearby camp, subotica, was built to house 50, but hundredsare living here. Families, minors and the needyare given priority. The roof leaks, theres a lackof funding, and a sense of despair. In the shelter next door we meet husam, who was born here. His syrian parents escaped from aleppo. Their older son mazed says his family has been stuck in serbiafor almost a year. I havent been in school forfour years. I miss my teachers and myclassmates. I used to get pretty goodgrades. Theres no telling how long thiswaiting game will last. Reporter about ten thousandrefugees are in serbia; hungary lets in about ten every weekday. But whos chosen and how is a mystery. In many cases bribery is thought to play a role. For these two afghan families, all that counts is that theyvefinally made it across. This girl is convincedeverything will be alright from here on. What happens next is anyones guess in any case, its farfrom the public eye. The decision to expel refugeesfrom hungary or allow them to move on appears arbitrary. The Prime Minister wants to prohibit migrants in hungaryfrom moving freely in the country. Hed like to see them in protective custody. Mark kekesi works with migszol, an aid organization. But hes not allowed to speak with refugees in the transitzone. The government knows holdingrefugees in general detention is against eu law, but budapestsees its everharsher approach as a political necessity. Mark kekesi the hungarian government wants to show thepublic look how hungary is doing the eus dirty work. More than that, the new measures are primarily domestic messages i mean it is a sad, populist beli of orbans thathe worset refugees e doing, t better off we are. Reporter this notion is gaining momentum. Orbans vision of a country without refugees has plenty ofpublic support. Of course, this is the way wecan be secure for children and grandchildren. No one is arresting you. No e is harasng you. I think many immigrants willkeep coming, but the Border Guards wilbe prepared. Eryos pleasedbout theborder guar, not juste. We have a Good Relationship withthe police. If i see something suspicious, icall them up and theyre there straight away. My phone is right down here. Reporter Hungarian Society isbecoming more and more militant. After their six month crashcourse, these recruits deploy to the border, yet another hurdlefor refugees hoping for asylum in europe. Host and now in global living rooms, we head from hungary torural kyrgyzstan in central asia. Mavluda ergeschova im mavluda ergeschova. Welcome to my home. This uniform jacket belongs tomy husband, arstanali. He was in the soviet air forcein russia. He served as a paratrooper. This is a picture from my younger sisters wedding. All of these things belong to my eldest son. He works in moscow. We dont have things like the internet here. Thanks for coming. Have a good trip, and i hope tosee you again someday. Host and now to our globalideas series, where we meet people committed to protectingour planets wildlife. This week were off to zambia. Our reporter Jurgen Schneider visited a centre there thatcares for chimpanzees from neighboring congo. The animals have often suffered traumatic experiences. But theyve found shelter at chimfunshi park. Where are you going . Im going to get you. Jurgen whenever she has aminute to spare, Thalita Calvi comes to play a little withchiffon. The male chimpanzee lives atchimfunshi wildlife orphanage a sanctuary for animals innorthern zambia. Calvi is a vet. Thalita calvi chiffon was aformer pet. He was with a family for verylong of his life. He does enjoy human interactionwhich is different than a lot of our other chimps. So thats why we can get close to him. He actually has the need of some kind of interaction of some kindof plays because he doesnt really knows how to act like achimp, a chimp chimp. Jurgen its important to keepthe chimps healthy. In the Stations Limited space,sick animals can quickly infect each other. Let me see your mouth. Ah, ah. Jurgen chiffon lives in aseparate cage with others that have never learned socialbehavior in a troop, and are therefore unable to integrate. All of the other chims at the station live almost as theywould in the wild they can move about freely within afencedin area the size of abot 200 football fields. Chimpanzees are very social. Still, if you want to draw theirattention, you have to have something to offer. Most of the 120 animals at the station otherwise show littleinterest in humans. Thalita calvi the way that wekeep them as natural as possible we face a few challenges. So we use opportunities like this as an enrichment to bringthem close to us so that we can see them, so that i can checkthem. Everything is voluntarily. So i dont push them to come. Jurgen a little bribe doesnt hurt though. Chimps can always be tempted by a tasty snack. Almost all the animals at chimfunshi have experiencedtraumatic events in their lives. Many were ripped from theirfamilies at a tender age. Because chimps defend theiryoung, that often entailed the slaughter of almost an entireband. The forests of chimfunshi provide almost enough forage tomeet the animals needs. But not quite. So twice a day, staff here also prepare Supplementary Food forthe chimps. Its served at their very ownchimp restaurant. The animals are already waitingimpatiently for the meal to begin. Innocent mulenga heads the station. Hes an expert on apes. Hes been around some of te chimps since he was a child andknows how to handle them. Ey, rita, no, no, no innocent mulenga we feed them in such a house because we wantto separate the males from the females and the young ones,because the males are dominant and they always want to eateverything. This is why we separate them. Jurgen its unlikely any f the chimps here will ever join atroop again out in the bush. In the wild, their range growsmore restricted year by year. Innocent mulenga most of thechimpanzees at chimfunshi coe from congo which is like 18 kmfrom here. But in congo there is lawlessness there, there arewars there. Jurgen so that thesechimpanzees are prone to poachers and people that deal inbush meat trade. Jurgen in the last few years,the wildlife refuge has grown steadily. Theres now a school for the children of the sanctuarysemployees on the grounds of the station. Good morning, sir. Jurgen mulenga says the school has made a big difference forthe people here. Innocent mulenga weve got ourworkers here that work for te chimps. There is no school anywhere near. So in 2007 were build this school so that their childrencan have a decent education. Jurgen chimfunshi is not justabout chimpanzees but also about the humans and this is why thisproject is looking to helpig the children to get a goodeducation. Jurgen most of the fundingcomes from a german businessman whose brother helped set up theproject 30 years ago. After his death, his familywanted to keep chimfunshi going, and recently bought a nearbyfarm. Its meant to give the projectlongerterm perspectives and help it provide some of its ownfunding. On its grounds, fruit and cropsare harvested to help feed the chimps, while cattle are raisedto provide income. The first will soon be sold atmarket. More work for veterinarianThalita Calvi, who takes care of all of the animals atchimfunshi. Out in the chimps forestenclosure, feeding time is over. Things are peaceful on thegrounds of the refuge. But to get here its taken a lotof hard work and plenty of willing hands. Innocent mulenga the core idea really is for these chimps tohave a good home. This is why we have all this bigenclosures for them, like in here weve got 47 of them inhere and we are there to provide protection for them. Jurgen and the animals are in desperate need of thatprotection. No one knows exactly how manychimps are still in the wil. The best guess is around300,000. At the beginning of the 20thcentury, there were likely millions. Host on global 3000, we bring you more than just an excitingnew Program Every week.

[captioning performed by te national captioning institute,which is responsible for its caption content and accuragncn steves florence was long an economic powerhouse. Rather than its church, its the city hall, once the palace of the medici family, that towers over the main square. Michelangelos david originally stood here. This is a copy. The original david is the centerpiece of the nearby accademia gallery, which feels like a temple to humanism. At its altar, one very impressive human. The shepherd boy david sizes up the giant. Thoughtful and selfassured, he seems to be thinking, i can take him. The statue was an apt symbol, inspiring florentines to tackle their goliaths. When you look at david, youre looking at renaissance man. Artists now made their point using realism. They did this by merging art and science. For instance, michelangelo actually dissected human corpses to better understand anatomy. This humanism was not antireligion. Now people realized that the best way to glorify god was not to bow down in church all day long, but to recognize their talents and to use them. Artists like michelangelo even exaggerated realism to make their point. Notice davids large and overdeveloped right hand. This is symbolic of the hand of god. It was god that powered david to slay the giant. And florentines like to think gods favor enabled them to rise above rival neighboring citystates. The navelike hall leading to david is lined with michelangelos unfinished prisoners, struggling to break out of the marble. Michelangelo believed these figures were divinely created within the rock. He was simply chiseling away the excess. Here we see the renaissance love of the body, as michelangelo reveals these compelling figures. While these statues are called unfinished, perhaps michelangelo was satisfied hed set them free, and he moved on to other challenges.
