Making their way across the mediterranean to greece like this family most of them were previously in camps in turkey where the government is no though taking a harder line on my current. Well just how bad conditions in greeces refugee camps are became clear in recent days with the deadly fire of the morea camp on the last boss and the situation is just as drastic on other greek islands as our reporter found out when he visited zama office where many say theyve had enough of all the shocking problems caused by the migrant influx but one local resident though a woman called maria remains determined to do all she can to help. Every day at noon maria macro yani waits for guests and they arrive on time refugees from the nearby camp on the island of sam most. 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 i have always done this. To refugees on some us call her mama maria. The pensioner not only offers them a warm meal but also canned food and clothing. Making for. Little. Darling probably be up for this very. Well sometimes 5 you cannot sometimes you cannot go thought could 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 only you know that also to ensure that human lives are not lost at sea but also. Those who. Are sick persecution and. Receive. Decent. Reception conditions with you 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. Jungle. Against the regime. When it comes. And often its been nice sometimes we dont have any law and sometimes we dont have any but our. Life at the port of fathi has changed too. Many greeks feel europe has forgotten them theyre appalled that some e. U. States are refusing to take in any refugees at all. When you can go the other country 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 you know we want our lives to be the way they were before like very much going to believe what theyre going to. Make our lives show says 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 the. Thats when we understood that they were hungry and maria who was a kind hearted my started cooking for them if you must. When macalister 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 maccallum is shocked by this. You think you would become governor 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 people like mama maria who refuse to accept that are becoming more and more isolated well the government in athens now saying it will make every effort to get the comeback aid order before winter sets in and transfer my goods to the main. Now on a very different note tourism can be a blessing or a curse as the people of the pretty medieval port of coto all on the coast of montenegro are discovering the town itself in the beautiful bay of coto draw a large numbers of visitors many of them arriving on huge cruise ships the Big Questions are being asked about the environmental sustainability of the tourist onslaught and drag on a local fisherman told us about the grave concerns that he has for the future. On a fair day like this drug and search will throw his cast mates out twice a day like his father and his grandfather before. They never had to roll far out because the bay a coach or used to be full of fish but over the last few years stocks have dramatically decreased. Reloaded the billabong in australia. Used to be so many fish like to live people are we catch whole show blue fish white fish and julies. But those days are over there are no more shows here now where you. Dragon thinks cruise ships like this one are to blame more and more are docking in cohorts being hardly a day passes without at least one of the huge ships discarding throngs of tourists into the small city. Go towards 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 and of put on the brakes the number of crew shifts in culture is increasing. After all a single tourist spends around 40 euros. It in a tiny 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. Coat 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. That if the only thing that would make a real difference in court order would be something hotels then 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 not even. 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. Posed to. The ocean if you like the idea that this is a desert. Whole bio diversity is collapsing if you. Know done live oak and small fish survive youre. Born when theyre being exposed to such an enormous current. Every time these giants dark or are put to sea theyre about plains and stern thrusters act like a huge blender roiling the water in the bay. Its catastrophic for the sensitive ecosystem in the bay marine biologist best know my church 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. In the said this. Passage out of the big leads through a narrow channel barely wide enough for the giant ships to pass. Its a tourist attraction the marine biologist and by mayor at the same time its hard to imagine what would happen if a ship went around. Vesna says the bay of course or should already be a protected area if montenegro wants to join the e. U. It will have to set up maureen reserves. As a name and this that. Every country should protect 10 percent of its coast. That would mean about 30 kilometers here. So when i go to visit montenegro has been working on some Marine Reserve projects for the last decade but unfortunately we still dont have any. In there im well. 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. Now across europe people will shortly be marking the 30th anniversary of the fall of the berlin wall and the crumbling of communism it was a breathtaking moment of historic change with polands solid dollars trade Union Movement playing a central role in that movement was led of course by lead when so but in todays poland a starkly divided country many are dismissive of the heroes of yesteryear. This old barrack and dance was originally a torpedo warehouse located some 500 kilometers from berlin this is where the iron curtain began to crumble back then this was still called the Lenin Shipyard today its still use for welding hovering shortening or lengthening ships the smell of rust and iron hinds in the sea air here we find the European Solidarity center the heart of liberal poland. We meet the hero of the solid Honest Movement less for ones still a nonconformist even the surety is wearing seems to be an open challenge directed at polands current governments it reads constitution in quotation marks. The Nobel Peace Prize winner and former polish president but then cofounder and leader of the solid donnish movement. Question here. Technically speaking it was our sally darn i meant that eventually led to the fall of the wall. But political leaders at the time and the whole world can see that communism was coming to an end the time was right for change. In the spring of 2019 celadon a celebrated its 13th annual round table a further polish Democratic Convention the anniversary was marked by a container outside the center the conservative government did not send any form of congratulations at selling absence. The government is more concerned with supporting people like albert but lets see he lives in eastern poland where birth rates are higher and church pews are phoner. His home village has just over 2000 residents virtually all of whom voted for the National Conservative law and justice peace party the farmer says peace keeps its promises.

Eve theyll do everything to keep the villages in poland strong dollar you will trim our 7000. 00 for the party came to power in 2015 thanks largely to the 500. 00 plus program on the which families receive 500. 00 per month along with Free School Books earned money for School Starters its said to help people get up from their knees as they say in poland. Thats much. Of it though is that the housekeeper says we can tell by our wallets. The money is benefiting our children its for additional tutoring and classes and for vacations yeah. The money from the state which receives generous subsidies from the European Union makes life more comfortable for the farmers and yet the but lets skip family wouldnt say theyre grateful that communism ended and the iron curtain fell they feel the former hero left for when super trade them and made a deal with the communists not there so. That was president he invited Foreign Investors into poland. To iron back then that might have been a good idea but they let too many enter too many polish people were sold out thank goodness the piece put an end to that. Today the polish capital warsaw is like a portfolio exhibition its a city of global klingler its their sleek cosmopolitan skyscrapers would fit anywhere in the world the city has changed beyond recognition since the fall of communism. German Car Manufacturers chinese banks american consultants a Reporter Asks has poland sold itself out. This is a different world is a new world. Anyone with enough motivation power and finances can take whatever they want. Things arent good the way they are like rules. But im sure itll sort itself out in 100 years. But left home villages hosting an agricultural trade show theyre all proud of their new prosperity they can keep up with the rest of europe at least when it comes to agriculture even if they are peace fodors now living in a unified europe is a given 30 years ago that wasnt the case. The founding of the 1st trade union in the port city of danske all those years ago set off a historical Chain Reaction between the east and west that led to the end of the iron curtain. Now despite growing fears of being sucked into a global recession europe stands for prosperity but not for all such as the hundreds of thousands of roumanian workers who made their way to italy in a desperate bid to escape grinding poverty at home where as a result whole regions are being depopulated now meanwhile in its early many remaining migrants struggle to survive on a legal work that pays only nigger wages at best most of them people like patrick and ronnie you end up living on the margins of society.
