A very warm welcome to focus on europe im Michelle Henery germany is in the midst of a political crisis one that the country has not experienced since the federal republic was formed after World War Two for the first time there will be no new government in berlin after eight weeks Government Coalition talks aimed at forming a socalled Jamaica Coalition of christian democrats liberals and the greens have collapsed. We believe we were on a path where we could have reached an agreement said chancellor Angela Merkel and thats why im sorry we could not find a common solution in minds on the news and fin klyn. Chancellor merkel stands empty handed and this doesnt suit french president and then im a cron who has big plans for europe he wants to comprehensively reform the e. U. But he needs germany at his side some of his most passionate supporters like the bridge and shawn tully worried that without the support of their teutonic neighbor europes future could look bleak. Robust relations between paris and berlin are vital for a strong europe. Thats the firm belief of labor from paris a supporter of a. Party shes disappointed by the failure to form a government and. She in a friend of hers say the setback in berlin means yet another delay to mcconnells vision of a united europe. Q. If we dont move forward germany will focus on russia and china and friends on the mediterranean and that will be the end of europe. My macro has championed in europe with a joint and an elected president a vision shanta laid shares. Back home in her apartment she tells us she has very personal reasons for supporting a more integrated europe her father was a french jew her mother a german christian her background as one reason chantelle identify strongly as a european. I grew up with europe we always had different european cultures around the table and celebrated various european festivals and holidays. But this vision of an integrated europe powered by the franker German Alliance is not popular with everyone in france. Julia belongs to the center right Republican Party he believes the crisis in germany is an opportunity for france to stop relying so heavily on berlin only. In the past we had an irrational hatred of the germans we have an irrational. You know we dont benefit from giving germany the key to the truck and then hitching ourselves to the back france needs to stop that. On the other hand feels its important for germany to overcome its government crisis as soon as possible. She wonders if its time for germany to begin a new Political Movement like mccalls a marsh offering an alternative to the traditional parties its good. German should take part of the c. D. U. Part of the s. P. D. And part of the f. D. P. And found a new movement i dont think the established system of parties is working for germany anymore. What with her now uncertainty in germany many french analysts believe a man on the court will struggle to push through his european reforms. Or pretty soon we already had something of a blockade before thats nothing new. But this new situation of uncertainty and the political crisis in germany will make it even harder to reform the eurozone and the e. U. As an ordinal. Here it keat a billion themed bar in paris where shantel lives french german group meets regularly some believe the crisis could also be an opportunity. Perhaps the franker German Alliance will now become a relationship of equals. America wants to move forward with europe she will need to listen to Emanuel Mackinaw and his own party in the core. But right now tonsil america has more pressing issues relations with france on efforts to reform europe are on hold first she has to have a functioning government. While france and visions are united europe england wants to break away and for fishermen along englands coast britains vote to leave the European Union was a dream come true after years of having to share the north sea with dutch fishermen to meet rule set by the e. U. The u. K. Would finally in their terms take back control of their own waters but as our reporter found out when he met with a british fisherman while they can be sure to expect bigger and bigger holes of fish there is a catch. For hundreds of years paul joys family has set out on the north sea to catch fish there one of the few remaining families of fishermen in hastings southern england. Joy and his two colleagues many catch european place seoul and skate my brother is fish in there and cousins are fishing. But for my family this looks like the last generation. Because it is just not viable for them to fish but thats not because of depleted north sea fish stocks. In fact stocks have recovered says joy. Instead the problem is that british fisherman face a limit on how much fish theyre allowed to catch. Each year the e. U. Draws up north sea fishing quotas by fish type and country. What aggravates us is the share we have in arrow waters where fishing in british waters which was british territorial waters and have to for all back fish because their counterparts a european fisherman they dont know they do not have to front thats why nearly all british fishermen voted for banks said they want to regain control over their own waters and decide how much to fish they also want to banish other european fisherman from british waters like this dutch vessel dutch captain good or bad summer spends eighty percent of the year fishing exclusively in british parts of the north sea. Theres a god it would take longer if i can no longer fish there are have to find other areas that have to compete with my dutch colleagues and share a tiny fishing area why fish would be. Brax inputs about fifty percent of the dutch fishing fleet in peril says pim fisher who represents the dutch fishing industry. He thinks this is unnecessary because strict e. U. Regulations. Now ensure theres enough fish for all. Visit thinks the British Government is the real problem for distributing only a tiny fraction of its fishing quota to british small scale fisherman in the english channel. They blame the e. U. For the internal problems the smaller boats have no quota that is a problem thats not a problem created by brussels thats a problem created by london and they are they think that they can solve a problem a lot of them by walking away from me to you but thats going to be a real disappointment for. The dancer convinced all fishermen are responsible for north sea fish stocks. After all fish have no nationality and recognize no borders. What receive already in our relations with what used to be our colleague our friends working together in european fisheries politics and all of a sudden its turned upside down and as as if they are strangers as if we are strangers and that is a very very bad feeling our friends are no longer our friends. Some as existence as a fisherman is now in jeopardy he didnt see it coming his family also has a five hundred year history of fishing in the north sea and hes afraid that that will be over soon. Even as a little boy i joined my father and we went fishing in british water and my he told me where and when you can catch the best fish. These are familiar waters and i know them like the back of my hand if. You get that. After eight hours at sea joy small fishing boat returns to hastings. Yeah but the up up up up to my. Daughter. Wants back on land the days entire catch is sold to europe of all places. And thats the problem britains fishermen export the fish theyve caught and import their favorite fish card which is the classic main ingredient in fish and chips. The british want to maintain this trade after break set. Im a pragmatist so im fully aware that with the going to be a long term thing you have to take it as it comes and see where we sit up at the end of the break so it is a fact i hope we just carry on and we actually you know i get there at the end of the day but joys worried that the price for free trade in fish will be high in europe is likely to demand precisely what he and other break city has wanted control over british waters. Imagine being taught to count with bullets and grenades instead of apples and oranges or to mistrust and attack those around you considered nonbelievers thats whats happening to the children of the estimated five thousand citizens who left their countries to join the socalled Islamic State after the fall of rock in syria the isis caliphate is considered beaten now europe must ask itself how should government still but the return of its children its citizens caught in the crossfire. Europe is afraid of these children this is a camp for detained i asked fighters and their families its mostly women and children who were here before being returned to their home countries but no one wants them. A belgian reporter tries to make that clear to a dutch woman. But what about this is a flood yes she says she knows shell have to readjust as he asks her if shes aware shell be sent to prison she is but says thats better for her children and staying here and i you know is she aware that people in the netherlands dont trust. You yeah yeah yeah she says but everyone deserves a Second Chance even if they didnt take. The French Defense minister sees things differently saying quote the more jihadists who die the better. Unfortunately the only way of dealing with them will be in almost every case to kill them. But children are also under suspicion and we take precautions for their return. For a time many think that terrorists should rush in the camps but what do people with children and grandchildren currently trapped in syria think of such statements. Their money was one of the conspirators in the two thousand and sixteen attack in brussels hes still my son she says he died in syria and left behind two of her grandchildren that veronique has never seen them you feasting but. I believe that theres still something good in these young people theyre not just monsters. Theyre more yet not more the case that they were so skillfully manipulated that they became monsters and. Certainly i ss a machine that creates monsters. But theres still a glimmer of hope that they can mean a normal again. I dont know for sure but i think we should have a bit of faith in them to call that off feels good. The belgian town of the forwarder represents that hope here Jessica Sauls deals with the numerous problems that the unwelcome home comers bring with them. Lets see educational institutions schools are date you would have a lot of questions about how to deal with the child also questions about security what if one day the parent shows under. If youre talking about all their children lets say children above the age of ten or might have had some active contribution to the conflict or might have been in the role in the eye as educational system you might also need other types of the briefing for those children so a lot of very complex issues arise that clearly are all saw far above the local capacity. The ruins of raka in syria even worse than the damage to the surroundings is the spiritual damage. Its beautiful in children saying but this isnt i asked warsong its the only one they know. They tell of what they have learned about jihad how to blow themselves up how to use weapons. And that they were afraid of their teachers because they beheaded people. Lessons that i ask goals include learning to tell time in english using time to detonators size relationships using weapons and ammunition and lessons in disassembling weapons. Psychologist under who has successfully treated child soldiers now he treats children of the ins are they dangerous we here yes. Yes simply because they came from a war zone dollars on the day either they were traumatized themselves or they possibly traumatized other people. Because in the war zone there were explosions mass murders and hails of bullets more than. They have heard thousands of different human screams that were the result of torture. If we want to Police Children back we need institutions and specialists that kind of company that you cant just go there and say great you guys are belgian so come on because we dont know what state they are coming back. In the idea. Of a future terrorists if so let them stay where they are say some in europe but will not solve the problem. Its more of a reality call i would say. And just ignoring the issue will make it go away so its investing in social cohesion from both sides and we also have a lot of successful experiences with reintegrating returned for in five years. It seems is not the safety of the return children that worries most governments but the security of their own positions organic food is all the rage nowadays activists argue that fewer pesticides are good for the environment and for our health but not everyone sees it that way farmers pitted on either side of the argument are at war one that has come to a head in a small village in italys south terrill. Grown leaves in an odd smell made apple farmer. Suspicious bell and so on from mouse and south to roll soon realised something was wrong. And so here in the sump let them come and see that these leaves have been damaged but i have a song. And hashing this autumn just before the harvest for that someone sprayed these trees with life to say disappointed. Novell and so on may be unable to sell organic apples from this orchard for years hes certain it was an act of sabotage. If thats my why. Well i guess some people didnt like my activism for a pesticide free mas and organic farming this was. A good use villain so on and many other environmental activists want their village of mouse to remain pesticide free. In a two thousand and thirteen referendum the villagers made clear that they reject pesticides. And they dont want a monoculture of endless apple orchards. Those already dominate agriculture and the economy in the valley below apples generate about three hundred Million Euros in turnover annually. The provincial council or for agriculture is a conventional apple farmer he doesnt think the attack is linked to the conflict in my house. I dont think its just because someone expressed criticism and there was several incidents of sabotage first there were four cases here invention against an organic orchard a conventional chidden two in the process of transition and. Not everyone is convinced were beyond lootera has been producing organic herbs for twenty six years his neighbors a conventional level farmers. They apparently dont care if their pesticides effect. Organic crops. Past six in the morning from the noise of the spraying machine the rush outside to protect our crops weve covered our entire crops with the invested two hundred thousand euros because they keep using these chemicals. For years lootera has been collecting evidence of his neighbors actions hes asked the Regional Government for support so far to no avail. My resistance is unwelcome especially when it goes against the farmers lobby which we call the farming on their own credibly powerful. In most there is widespread resistance to conventional farming whether farmers Business Owners hairdressers or pharmacists they all reject conventional agriculture despite the personal threats. And the feeling. Of fighting for a pesticide free countryside and i have a yes i know this have various attack on an organic orchard which doesnt even use organic pesticides. Is inexplicable and outrageous to me. Its an absolute moral low point to. The village activists are also concerned about the results of a study indicating that two thirds of the playgrounds are contaminated with agricultural chemicals. Or only traces that dont constitute a Health Hazard with todays scientific methods you can find the smallest traces of substance. If you apply the precautionary principle as stipulated by the Constitution Health concerns come first so these must have consequences we will insist on that and. The pesticide conflict also has a legal dimension. Can a small village use a referendum to make such a major decision others but its got an idea about some farmers from farmers from other towns who farm land here took legal action because they felt that suffered losses and the town wasnt responsible divide it was honest administratively Court Dismissed the case for. Despite the attack organic farmer villain song remains undeterred. Everyone has to face the truth thats just how it is kind and i dont see any grounds to change the way i fall into or to change my attitude my heart on. This is to roll villagers fight against pesticides is gaining attention. Now switzerland has said it will hold a referendum on the use of pesticides next year. The consequences of Climate Change are varied from extreme weather episodes to dormant microbes waking in russia the soil in its permafrost regions is beginning to thaw resulting in the emergence of bones and entire carcasses from the ice age now Scientists Say theyre on the brink of reviving ancient beasts from extinction. It may look a little wrinkly but then it is pretty old scientists here have named her. Shes a strawberry blonde wooly mammoth it stinks. Smells bad. In her defense has been dead for around thirty four thousand years now these days she spends her time at the permafrost kingdom a museum in the russian city of york courts scientists hope mammoths will one day walk the earth again thanks to you because d. N. A. Which has been extraordinarily well preserved some yarn gregorio f. Dreams of bringing back these woolly giants he wants to set up an International Center for mammoth studies here in the courts. The stored his most important specimen that minus eighty six degrees celsius thats a fully grown female mammoth which the scientists have named buttercup. Gregorio says buttercups trunk is a real treasure trove. When we cut into it we found a number of areas where the flash was still rent going we found real muscle tissue thats amazing but the trunk off is our best hope of finding living cells at home with me but. It was twenty thirteen when a semi on grigori f.
