Polls suggest they might even come out on top well Party Leaders of the far right a. F. P. Or alternative for germany are drumming up support with nationalists and today shes rhetoric those who oppose their policies are determined to stop their rise. So what is fueling this shift to the right well since the countrys reunification and many people in germany feel they are treated as 2nd class citizens young people are also leaving to seek opportunities elsewhere and the region of brandenburg is about to be dealt another blow the mine which is one of the regions biggest employers is slated to close for many voting for the anti establishment will give them a platform to be heard. Many people in brandenburg sluice a shia region depend on the coal Mining Industry for their livelihoods but theyre worried because germany has decided to phase out coal fired power plants germanys far right a. F. D. Party is tapping into this fear. Local a. F. D. Candidate stephan could be at ski who currently works in a power plant himself says other parties have no plans for one coal mining is history. A band its me what kind of a crane that we need more of what sort was it again and was. Could be it works as a technician in the local coal power plant. Lately hes been concentrating on a political career. Hes hoping to win a seat in the upcoming brandenburg state elections. If you cannot 10 years ago i would never have dreamt of going into politics and being involved in such things so i could have chosen to spend my time fishing or walking the dog or going to lead an easy life or being a member of the f. D. A. That makes things difficult because people are hostile towards the pardon you for and of. But its the a. F. P. Thats known for inciting hostility on this stage is campaigning for the f. T. In a small rural constituency the turnout is much higher than expected. A f. T. Politician quite frequently oh and party coleader alexander garland are in attendance they know just what people want to hear. Different our own culture is vanishing in public life every day that will science make us feel home and just disappearing refugees showed up next door we see women in veils and more emotion. And hardly anyone speaks german on public transport any more thats why germanys fate lies in the hands of a of d. Voters. Might it not damage ladies and gentlemen if the f. T. Gets into power we will resume control of our borders. Who is deaf and could it also knows how to win over locals. Boss is the funniest question i was asked was what i think of climate activist predatory bag i was outraged and then i simply said i drive a 5. 5 liter v 8 with 388 horsepower so can we just skip this question. Thank you thank you a f t politicians from berlin together with stephan could have a Strong Influence on these voters. By a good bit fuses are pretty talks like an ordinary guy. The others have their own parliamentary way of speaking. He talks like a normal guy who works in a power plant and people like that but. Many people in brandenburg appreciate the partys rhetoric after the collapse of communist east germany many people moved to the west those who did not have felt at a loss but now the f. D. A. Has entered the Political Landscape it denies Climate Change stokes xenophobic sentiments and has been linked to me on r. T. Yet despite all of this the a. F. P. Is projected to win the brandenburg state elections. Few people here are willing to comment openly on the a. F. D. Success. Story was that depends on what they want to achieve thats not clear yet i guess well only find out once theyre in power or when they have influence but then its normally too late. Despite these misgivings the party is expected to win over voters from all the other parties except for the greens who even score points on the issue of Climate Change in the coalmining region party member and schmidt can only guess at why the a. F. P. Is so strong in brandenburg. Doing ok really this thing and thats why theyre prepared to take this my political gamble. Unemployment is at just 3 percent here a national low. And suddenly people are turning to be going a bit mad or taking risks but some of the resulting peace and forward toward are. There for us. Because there is a danger that should the a. F. D. Win the election its extremist faction could gain control but that doesnt or is difficult its key. I could leave at the drop of a hat if the party develops in any negative direction but i doubt this will happen exactly what it all weakness. Polls suggest that the f. T. Is not only set to make major gains in the Upcoming Elections in brandenburg but also in the states of tooling and saxony as well the town of has some tape in turkey is more than 10000 years old but is now at risk of being some birds under water not by the Climate Crisis but by a planned project the turkish government wants to flood the Historic Town to build a down that will generate electricity for the countrys south east and that means people like him are are being driven out of their homes and one of the worlds oldest inhabitant settlements. A brand new bungalow development is a rare sight in economically challenged southeastern turkey. A man and his mother are moving into one of these houses soon but they arent looking forward to it they have to move because a new dam is being built and their old home in has some cave valley is going to disappear. The locals will have to relocate to new heights and cave which is higher up. But i could whats the use of a new town if the cost is the destruction of history and culture because of my absolute of course what weve become homeowners here but at the same time weve lost our rights again were sitting somewhere about mach 5 all one. Percent if on the tigris river is located in an area with some of humankinds oldest settlements the valley has been inhabited since the 3rd century the assyrians romans and sell jews all left their mark historically significant mosques and tombs have been moved to an archaeological park. So far has been case 3000. 00 inhabitants have made a living from tourism you did a man offers guided tours and sells bush shores but he says once the valley is flooded hell be out of a job and theres no work for him in a new house and cave. Some of that question mark even before moving in as we had to pay 5000 euros for repairs of the house at the same time tourist numbers are already declining there used to be 20 people selling brochures you know theres just 6 ludwigs. Environmentalists and archaeologists the world over have spoken out in a bid to save hassan cave and European Finance or is withdrew from the dam project to no avail. The police forcefully crushes local protests like this year in july. After. The locals know that hasnt cave cannot be saved but what does the future hold for them politicians promise all will be well once the project is completed good bushman you know this will be europes largest reservoir with new towns along its 170 kilometers in like this side and therell be fishing and boat tours to get the you know. The tourists dont seem too keen on returning to his son cave to go fishing in a reservoir. I think that this is what had it such is so worth a car charger until now elect to see these who are to do it all in and destroy the water at that. Restaurant owner bill and mass and doubts that tourists will keep coming instead of the cooling tigris river bank his new shop is supposed to be here in new house and cave but so far there is neither electricity nor water. And thats not dylans only concern. Were you to jazz. For them or she does she was so good as you can hear will start from scratch again or wait and see if anyone comes back each of and then well make our final decision yes. Chetan you that a man would love to continue showing the local limestone caves to visitors the oldest ones are said to be 3000 years old and served as tombs later they were inhabited even up until the one 970. 00 s. But only a few caves will remain above the water level. Children wonders why this hasnt led to more global outrage. To pick up on that now scientific in that this doesnt belong to the people of pleasant cave to his or turkey or thank me to the journey is only conjecture for you know your belongs to all people after all this is the cradle of humanity and a lot of area. But for now its a new Housing Development instead of limestone caves for chatting you get a map. Hes brought to saplings from the valley and planted them in front of his new house. It might well be all hell have left from his old home town ones house and cave disappears forever nowhere is the Climate Crisis more evident than in small garden or wait its heating faster than anywhere on the planet well thats according to a report by the countrys Environment Agency and as the arctic ice melts travel agencies are offering tourist one last clints of the Winter Wonderland but the cruise ships they come in on are only exacerbating the problem. Another cruise ship arrives at midday. And the tourists come pouring in to long desired by archipelagos largest settlement they come looking for a little adventure for their photo albums and souvenirs from the arctic. But local resident and editor in chief of the local paper hilda who speak is anything but happy to see so many tourists they can be a nuisance. People get annoyed when they come up to the houses and look into their windows through the windows are used to take pictures too close or dont like the feeling of being curiosities in their own city we live there. Still the locals are willing to put up with quite a lot from the solvent tourists arctic holidays are a business prospect for the future there is room for growth but not necessarily in the Summer Season so we try to spread it throughout the air and also to make the vessels especially the christmas will stay longer when they come. Along you know a boom has had to reinvent itself it was built on coalmining but those days are almost over. And the people sense Climate Change is a threat here there is more rainfall and less snow the ground soaks up the rain like a sponge and eventually the steep slopes give way. Houses once stood here at the edge of town in 2015 they were buried in an avalanche 2 people lost their lives. Now there are plans to move the Little Cemetery west of long you know a boon the most recent landslide in june 28000 just barely missed it. The church has to be really founded the foundation has to be made more still so of course the real sense of insecurity is we dont know what its going to look like to live here. Inside. And i suppose the uncertainty is what makes it really difficult. Cristiana and her family used to live right by the waters edge but they had to move the fjord hardly carries any ice anymore in the winter so the wind drives the waves against the shore. That children learn from on the field hasnt been frozen over for some time we used to be able to drive across it on the snowmobile but not anymore you can see how radically the glaciers have retreated. Cristiana who is concerned about the future. Her concerns are shared by a group of International Researchers on an excursion to the barren wilderness of the dixon fjord 60 kilometers north of long. He expects the species. To form a condition have a higher chance of established and the 3 of the better so i think those that are really suffering will be those really high arctic specialists. From power knew where to go now. Scientists are unable to predict exactly how rapidly Climate Change will affect the arctic sensitive ecosystem but the Winter Wonderland that was supposed to attract numerous tourists to small in the future could gradually be disappearing. Or about your hunts and is also worried he needs paying guests. He makes beer for pubs and hotels in the worlds northernmost brewery he thinks the Climate Crisis debate is exaggerated he says in the end they always find a way. Its 90 percent yes he already near the end that kind of story is still good. Yes to talk to hope that. They are surviving. Survivors nominees might give morse chuckle. Or. Forget the truth yes. But what will look like that and how will life in the archipelago change. Spic thinks new opportunities will open for a long yahoo and in the future. Also research this is a small city where you can you explain mental things very easily its a small area and think so easy to define there are lots of possibilities to. This it that. The cruise ship sets out to see again the tourists take their impressions of with them and the locals are left to wonder about the best path out of the past into the future and what new challenges lie ahead. 30 years ago the iron curtain fell in europe and the cold war between the and the west and it so what is life been like for people in the former communist countries since then the last part of our series takes us to romania where the wave of peaceful revolutions in 1909 took a violent turn hopes were high when the regime of dictator ceausescu was brought down down down it was part of the uprising but now he feels let down by the lack of progress. When the revolution broke out in december 989. 00 dan voice was in the thick of it at this barracks in toggle vish to romanias hated dictator nicolae ceausescu and his wife elin out were on trial. Borneo a young prosecutor at the time crossexamined the couple. Of the couple which osha schoolchild cheska was a dictator if you consider all the atrocities he committed but id say only one charge was possible for the crimes against humanity. And theres only one punishment for that you know hopefully the 1st record for a minute to. The churchs coups were executed immediately after the trial they had no chance to appeal which had little to do with the rule of law but after the short trial broadcast live the shooting in the streets stopped the death toll had already reached 1000. Prosecutor dan voice insists the summary execution was justified. He points out the bullet holes where the ceausescus were shot against the wall. But 30 years on hes still waiting for a truly fresh start for romania. Janetta. Its time for the new generation to follow their feelings and begin to build the rule of law that young people back then gave their lives for their pick at it sure but a ship a threat a source of pure sucker if you got to marry the style of. Todays ruling party the socalled social democrats have repeatedly countered demonstrations for the constitutional state with violent suppression in august 2800 protests turned into bloody clashes. Since then took arrests Victoria Square has been the scene of continuing protests this time actors theater workers and artists have gathered to demonstrate after the government drastically cut funding for the arts. Among them are actor young cademy true and his son under a young manages the Bucharest National theatre his son is a businessman and politician for a new opposition party. Young cademy true is known in romania not only as an actor he was one of the rebels who announced the victory of the revolution on television in december 989 was spotted by. A matter god today hes disillusioned saying the revolution has been robbed of its objectives she said to vent a bit. It really disgusts me to see how todays policy makers change the laws that will go to the little while to look at it. Those in charge are really doing whatever they can to escape justice and keep the money theyve stolen the award because these have a shuffle and its only a so will be the discover its not what we thought for a little bit well i just wish we could finally live in a clean decent country says it was at that event will try to put up the ball. And today gives us an example of what his father. Means theres a lack of infrastructure romania has fewer highways than any other european country the e. U. Funding for their development often vanished into peoples pockets and i says this is just one example among many. North just 95 percent of the money went to the ruling Party Supporters because the man as in Companies Close to the party Party Representatives the money was basically stolen. The crooks back in bucharest young cademy through not only manages the National Theatre but also appears on stage hell be forced to dismiss 52 of his staff in coming weeks if the government has its way he says this kind of despotism is reminiscent of the dictatorship era. The Current Situation is nothing new. She says the ruthless perpetuation of the old communist habits has. Good local east. Danville often visits the cemetery where the revolutions victims are buried most were under 30 students and workers even teenagers many of the perpetrators have yet to be identified. For the books such as they were for to this day or for all these young people who were murdered in december 1909 there is still no justice. The wounds left by romanias communist era and the bloody revolution that ended it 30 years ago are still gaping wide.
