The deal with turkey that was designed to halt the flow of illegal crossings to europe well the refugee camp on the island of some most is filthy and cramped while it was originally intended for just 650 people but it now houses several 1000 its a situation locals like maria materialist cannot ignore the couple are extending a helping hand to the refugees despite objections from their neighbors. Every day at noon maria macro yani waits for guests and they arrive on time refugees from the nearby camp on the island of samarra. This time its 2 young men from somalia. Maria has prepared paster with chicken she hosts refugees in her apartment every day. When i see refugees i offer them something to eat ive always done this. To refugees on sam most call her mama maria. The pensioner not only offers them a warm meal but also canned food and clothing. The movie making for. A little. Bit of a leg problem here for girls is very big and sometimes fighting you cannot sometimes youve got to go through all put something 3 years ago maria and her husband many colleagues were honored for their willingness to help back then they owned a tavern at the beach where refugees could get a free meal it was a place where people from all over the world who had lost their homes could feel welcomed. But then marias lease was terminated a shock that caused her to have 2 strokes. All of them their only then a good little boy back then all i did was think of the refugees after getting up i would start cooking. Today the sentiment has changed and is directed against the refugees locals dont see any solution. 5000 refugees now live ensembles which has a population of just 30000. The camp is overfilled many people have to sleep outside in tents. Some have been waiting for years for their asylum requests to be processed local aid organizations say europe finally needs to take care of these people really you know that also to ensure that human lives are not lost at sea but also. Feet for sick persecution and. Receive. Indecent. Reception conditions. But samples tells a different story were not allowed to enter the camp but we made mohamed again and he uses his phone to film inside children are playing next to rats in indescribable hygenic conditions. There is only one doctor for 5000 people here. Comes the jungle and the situation is for when it comes. And often its very nice sometimes we dont have any light and sometimes we dont have any but our. Life at the port of r. T. Has changed to. Germany has sent a coast guard ship for support but that has hardly helped. Many greeks feel europe has forgotten them theyre appalled that some e. U. States are refusing to take in any refugees at all. Other countries should open their borders in order for these people to move on or the traffickers who brought them here should take them somewhere else. These people are stuck here that doesnt work we want our lives to be the way they were before very much going to be going to. Be cali shows us his former tavern maria doesnt like to return to the place she was driven out of because of her support for the refugees. That was 3 years ago her husband still remembers how it all began. We planted a few tomatoes and we saw a refugee pick and. Thats when we understood that they were hungry and maria who has a kind heart started cooking for them. When meets his former neighbors they say they were never against what he and maria were doing. But they are bothered by so many foreigners from africa coming to the beach to swim. Is shocked by this. Decision they say we fouled the beach with the refugees. Even though we always took care to keep it clean its much dirtier now. The. Living conditions in the refugee camps on the greek islands are getting worse by the day and at the same time and he refugee sentiment is on the rise people like mama maria who refuse to accept that are becoming more and more isolated. It was once considered a hidden gem in the adriatic sea a place to escape the mass tourism prevalent in other parts of the mediterranean kotor montenegro a medieval walled city overlooking a picturesque bay now attracts tens of thousands of tourists every year and its population nearly doubles during the high season but almost visitors are leaving behind more than tass and locals like fisherman dragon sled dogs are alarmed by the destruction caused by the cruise ships that dot the coastline on a fair day like this drug and search will throw his cast nets out twice a day like his father and his grandfather before. They never had to roll far out because the bay of culture or used to be full of fish but over the last 2 years stocks have dramatically decreased. The used to be so many fish. We cant show blue fish white fish and julies. But those days are over there are no more shows here no. Drug and thinks cruise ships like this one are to blame more and more are docking and co tours being hardly a day passes without at least one of the huge ships discoursing throngs of tourists into the small city. Called tours become one of the top cruise destinations along the adriatic next to venice and dubrovnik but while the letter to have been overwhelmed by mass tourism that have put on the brakes the number of crew shifts in culture is increasing. After all a single tourist spends around 40 europes. It in the tiny now this is the only way tourism can prosper here and a lot of people live off it. Unfortunately culture doesnt have any beaches or even hotels. And theres a. Coach or only gets day visitors its not a sustainable model as the local Tourist Office well knows but they dont want to give up the lucrative business. Of people the only thing that would make a real difference in court order would be something hotels in the same number of tourists would bring more profit and cause less environmental damage there wouldnt just be cruise ships here then but other day visitors to. Even it will leave. But theres a shortage of concrete ideas. I. Earlier when buildings began shooting up around one of its World Heritage sites unesco was alarmed. But now says drought on the base entire ecosystem is under threat. For both. The us and if you like. This is a desert. Whole bio diversity is collapsing if you. Dont live oak and small fish survive youre. Born when theyre being exposed to such an enormous coward. Every time these giants dock or are put to sea theyre about planes and stern thrusters act like a huge blender roiling the water in the bay. The coast of victoria is considered one of the smaller ships the really large ones like the mine ships 6 weighing 100000 tons anchor outside the bed. For hours on end they bring their guests to shore with tenders. Its catastrophic for the sensitive ecosystem in the bay marine biologist best know much says but the complex mix of salt and fresh water is somehow still intact for now. The maritime environment can withstand a lot and can regenerate but there are limits. Once this system collapses it will become extremely difficult protracted and expensive to restore it to be blunt im scared of whats still to come. This. Mine shift 6 poles that anchors sluicing tons of mud through the big again. The passage out of the big leads through a narrow channel barely wide enough for the giant ships to pass. Its a tourist attraction and marine biologist and nightmare at the same time and hard to imagine what would happen if a ship went to ground. Vesna says the bay of coal. Tor should already be a protected area if montenegro wants to join the e. U. It will have to set up all the reserves. Doesnt name of this supposed every country should protect 10 percent of its coast. That would mean about 30 kilometers here. Montenegro has been working on some Marine Reserve projects for the last decade but unfortunately we still dont have any. There used to be hundreds of fishermen in coach or drug on service now just a handful are left and if things dont change his generation might be the last. Its a place that was shrouded in secrecy for decades until its dark past was on earth near the bella capital of minsk mass executions were carried out in the forest of cura patty between 10371941 hundreds of thousands are estimated to have been killed there by stalins secret police while a group of activists feel the site should be a place of remembrance but in a country accused of white washing crimes of the past its become fair game for commercial development for people like. Buildings on what was once a killing field is unthinkable. These woods on the highway to minsk were the site of a mass murder and right next to the improvised memorial is a restaurant. Lets go and eat is just a short drive away for the residents of the belorussian capital. And its a nice sort of bundle of each thinks its horrible that people dine here the 29 year old is handing out flyers to the guests he wants to ensure the atrocities committed here are not forgotten and that the restaurant is closed. Some of the visitors are aware of where theyre going and some arent and some people dont mind being on bones. Then he stands vigil outside the restaurant every weekend hes a critic of the government and sees himself as an opposition activist hes the chairman of the young front a nationalistic Youth Movement pushing for Democratic Change the activists call this the restaurant of death and they stand outside it in shifts the owner of the restaurant doesnt want to speak to us and were not allowed to film beyond the driveway. The activists say when the restaurant complex was built the official border of the mass graves was shifted but ultimately no one knows where the memorial should begin or end Joseph Stalin had between 30250000 people shot here in the late thirtys and early fortys declared enemies of the state those murdered were innocent victims of the soviet dictators purges it was shortly before the end of the soviet union that the knowledge of the site became public since then it has become an impromptu peoples memorial and a center of opposition activity so nice or been over here the 1st time when he was 15 with his father and it was. Usually it smells like pine needles and leaves in the woods but here you have the feeling that thousands of candles are burning denises great grand uncle is one of the victims buried here he was a teacher and he says sworn to defend the memorial. I just cant give this place up. I dont know how i could ever close my eyes to quite a party i wont be able to sleep at night if i do when i come here something shifts in me i start thinking differently. A half a year ago the belorussian government set up an official monument to the victims of Stalin Secret police. At the edge of the forest the government removed dozens of large crosses and built a fence around the whole area officials said the crosses had been put up illegally for denise the move was yet another warning signal hes concerned the government wants to take control of the memorial and points out the countrys president aleksander to look at shankar has often praised stalins legacy we just got we have to have a plan on how to finish fixing up quite a party but no one should be able to do anything here without permission whats going on here are demonstrations it must be in someones interest these are political protest. Look i shant go has also said that the restaurant by the mass grave doesnt bother him but in minsk not everyone agrees. That i took pens where the restaurant is. Its not in the middle of the cross is it. Its somewhere on the near the exit. I think thats fine in minsk everything is right and proper. There are bones everywhere and. We dont know everything that happened here but life has to go on. So now people go to a spot where people were killed to have a good time its not right. Its a nice agreements he makes the bus journey from minsk to corrupt party at least twice a week he has been protesting against the restaurant here for a year and demonstrators want to keep fighting. Cheney said the others see this restaurant as an attack on the memorial and for them that means its an attack on the people with bella roots. We dont really have anything of our own anymore but we do have quite a party of us they are here and we have to defend them if the government destroys quite a party says no i wont call myself a bill received any more. Missing for bella ruse and for the victims here in the woods its a prayer for the dead but. As demands for the living as well he wants the whole historical truth of this place to be revealed and is demanding the opening of soviet archives. The Climate Crisis is forcing many of us to rethink our daily habits in order to reduce our Carbon Footprint and when it comes to electric vehicles norway is miles ahead of the curve thanks in part to generous incentives for consumers norway has the biggest per capita market for cars those who opt for gas or diesel powered vehicles dont get to enjoy perks such as free parking but the boom has come at a cost and now the government wants to roll back some of those incentives that made this a success. Buddy the pioneering Electric City car has had its state it helped bring electric power to norways roads but now used bodies are often abandoned to used car sales lots but theyre creating paper and opens arent willing to give up on them just yet the next generation but he already exists at least on paper. But more than ever if you never know who will survive in the end many have fallen by the wayside but were getting a 2nd chance in. The battle for norways electric car market is on major carmakers arrived on the scene long ago now mercedes has invited journalists from all over europe for the no we turn premiere of its new electric s. U. V. This is understood this is an important market in europe because electra mobility enjoy such great support here and it has such a large market share thats part of the reason were here its a key market in europe for electric vehicles. Electoral votes. Currently about half the new cars on norways roads have electric drives course stane item levels is a member of Norways Parliament hes been driving an electric car for almost 10 years norway exempt electric vehicles from v. A. T. And high registration fees which has made the tesla more affordable its also exempted from in a simple tolls and parking fees for more business. So many norwegians are buying electric cars or hybrids that the state is losing too much revenue so now were discussing how we can get drivers of electric cars to pay something parking fees or tolls or sales tax for instance. The state is losing money used to take in from gasoline and diesel powered cars. To be little and norway is gradually changing its policy in june the capital also low introduced a very small toll for electric cars other towns are thinking about reinstating the parking fees for electric cars. The electric boom seems to be pushing its limits norway has abundant hydroelectric power but not enough fast charging stations. Taxi driver goal im right he me often runs into problems trying to recharge his car. You always have to wait here with at least 3 cars ahead of you and not all of the charging points are always working the manufacturer doesnt service them its irritating even when i come here at midnight theres a line. For all of them so norways electric Car Association has drawn up a list of demands including 8000 new charging stations by 2025 especially in rural areas. The Association Secretary general christina boo is Something Like the face of immobility in norway a constant stream of c. E. O. s and reporters my house through her office alone wanting to know why norway is such a success when it comes to electric cars she says the answer is simple were taking home letting the essence of norways electric mobility policy is to make sure the new Technology Gets established in the marketplace. The more it does the more the incentives can be rolled back. But its way too early to dispense with all the incentives now. We have to do that gradually. Dropping the electric motor scooters are another booming market in march a number of start ups began renting out a scooters this one charges around 5 euros for 20 minutes which isnt exactly cheap. Not the cheapest thing but its ok because if you i dont know you are from somewhere to somewhere you dont get to see a round. You also pay a lot so i think its a good way of spending money so. Writers and all slow have to photograph their scooters when they return them to make sure they dont get misplaced. Otherwise there are a few rules. Theres multiple the problem with the scooters is that many writers simply forget theyre not the only ones on the pads. Thats one of the reasons it can be dangerous and cause problems. Even the movement the creators of the body have expanded to electric 2 wheelers their ebonics are selling like hotcakes this is their latest model in september theyll be taking it to the Worlds Largest bicycle trade fair in germany theyll. Be tested and norway intends to set an example for electoral mobility in europe in the future too and for what happens as ever greater numbers of people go electric. Its something that many of us here in the European Union take for granted clearing your schedule for a spontaneous getaway on the continent well its a freedom that many who live in kosovo are unable to enjoy the country day and independence only 11 years ago so for the time being citizens of kosovo must have visas to travel to 26 European Countries and they are not always easy to get well this situation has become somewhat of a national joke one that acts as a much needed antidote to the bureaucratic headaches. When kosovars take a trip they start having adventures even before setting out ok a Television Series is devoted to the trials and tribulations of obtaining a schengen visa. And its already run 3 seasons says lose the solar who plays a somewhat gangster risk head of a visa Referral Agency the episodes are inspired by a stark reality. For a 5 day trip to austria i had to spend a week collecting documents. And its the same thing every time i go. To what we know of cases where they ask for a grandfathers death certificate or a marriage certificate. We picked up on these cases and gave them a comic spirit and you know on the list. In kosovo specialized agencies organize appointments at the consulates the faster the more expensive with as much as 150 euros for express service they always have long lines at their doors a touch of humor can help pass the time. On which i like the series it shows the sad reality in a comic vein. Because. I was in the Embassy Today for a visa application and i felt just like i was in that series. Ive been boycotting the schengen countries for 10 years because they wont give me freedom to travel. In one episode some ambassadors are invited to the opening of one such agency this is a big step for kosovo this is a big 4th for of course. He needs their goodwill for his Business Concept to work someone in any way can profit off of kosovos reason problems. They are saying that they are over the board. I think the way the consulates treat us is inhumane or. You know if you feel like something lower than an e. U. Citizen this isolation also harms the economy in my words its all you have no plan other. Characters in the series promised that course of ours will soon be enjoying freedom of travel to as soon as 2076 that leaves time for many more seasons because you know youre told ok.
