them are ashamed to be living in a slum in europe. you know getting through for me here but i'm going to they don't want their families to see them living here in these conditions that's logical you can understand that. i don't think they ever lived like this in africa but if you go. there is not ashamed on the contrary he wants people to know what's really happening in europe. and he's not ready to give up on his dream of a better life. what. a move to model for us now i'm living here some time i were to work to get more money to send to my family you have to go to help myself here you know i'm no i'm to die it's for my future it will be to. eventually once he's saved enough money intends to return to the ivory coast my son needs me he says all of africa needs us but that's in the future right
now he's got to figure out where he can sleep tonight. while migrants are facing an uncertain future across europe as governments step up deportations of those who've been denied asylum but it is a controversial practice especially for turning migrants back to afghanistan and critics say the country is not safe in sweden and activists made headlines were refusing to sit down on a flight taking off from gothenburg preventing the deportation of an afghan man allen erickson has been celebrated by some for her courage and criticized by others for breaking the law we caught up with her to find out more. when and shauna gets together with her friends these days they usually talk about her protest which made headlines around the world she still getting messages of support . refused to take a seat on
a flight from gothenburg to istanbul in order to prevent the deportation of an asylum seeker to afghanistan video of the incident has gone viral. took this step to protest against sweden's asylum policies. we're not giving the correct legal procedure that they have the right to we are the government and the migration office are doing so much things that they possibly can use to make sure that they deport and react as many people as possible. and works for an association in gothenburg that provides assistance for under age refugees. most of them come from afghanistan and. they see hope in people like you trying to keep them from being deported even if it means breaking the law. or your figure they're trying to deport me to i took them to court and i've been
waiting for a ruling for a year. if i could take another year you know i've lived in sweden for several years now and i have no idea how i'd react to being deported if you do or don't do it with the way it is obvious with the evidence that was. the actions have sparked debate about sweden's asylum and immigration policies recent polls indicate that right wing populist sound gaining ground ahead of september's parliamentary elections they blame immigrants for an increase in crime in suburban areas. and to stop the next government should stop immigration. and don't have young people who face death at home are allowed to stay but we let in all sorts of shady characters. the conservative opposition party moderate turner says ash on committed a crime and says she should be punished for it. we are going slow in
sweden deportation cases are decided in a court of law not by politicians and you can't have private citizens interfering with a process dispute but says the courts ignore the dangers facing deportees in afghanistan and that's why she decided to protest. so in afghanistan we are when you are deported there they can see that you are from europe they can see that you're wearing clothes from europe that you have a different way of walking of talking and it's a really bad situation but if he. says that she now fears for her safety. right wingers have threatened her on social media networks so when she goes out in the city she keeps her eyes open. like they write down my library i think i'm very much like that different side of. it yes i'm trying to make sure
that. the social media doesn't know where i am or who my friends are sean says she plans to keep protesting because of the dangers many afghans face once they return home despite all the recent pressure she remains determined. so even your guests starting to dictations to afghanistan don't believe that probably they still together and i hope so because they are part of my life now this. time now fanshen to give an english radio station an interview the debate over sweden's deportation policy continues. now london is facing a serious housing shortage the prime minister the city's mayor have vowed to fix the market and build more affordable housing but the british capital is becoming increasingly an affordable for normal earners and even for london's wealthy residents like robbie williams who you might know space is at a premium so if you can't build up or left or right there is only one direction for
the rich and famous to go down of course think luxury basements with pools and sauna us but all that underground construction has the neighborhood option arms take a look. so. we go. so this is the pool area which is one of the biggest in this area i mean there are others but normally we don't have the space. coast to steelman topples can barely contain his pride the property investor wants to show off what he's achieved the pool appears at the push of a button on the recall ten meters below ground the houses on the market for a mere twenty five million pounds. we have a home mom. we have a shower. we have a sauna. it's hard to tell on the outside that there's so much below this villa in
london's upmarket notting hill area the house has three visible stories and three below ground it's fully automated garage can house three cars. is a good space of words especially their conservation area like notting hill. and the restricted is in between the houses so the only ability to increase the volume of the house is to go dot org. london is constantly on the move rising higher and higher wherever possible. the city is a magnet for investors and global money and its façade is changing fast. as are its foundations this is an unmistakable sign earth and rocks are being excavated by the truckload here they're digging twelve meters deep building another super basement.
london is going deeper underground. trickle into road in southwestern london. home to bentley's and saudi princes as well as their nannies no pairs. this is the epicenter of the underground movement. twenty two houses already have mega basements they're like icebergs above ground it's all english and picturesque below there's a cool elegance sometimes three stories of it you might not be able to see anything but you can certainly hear it the ongoing construction noise is a source of conflict among neighbors. we sat between two amazingly enormous very noisy developments and. the it was it was absolutely the walls were shaking off and my son moved out couldn't stand it it was very very noisy. here and iceberg has triggered
a major conflict the victorian fortress is a listed building owned by rock star jimmy page. the led zeppelin icon has lived here almost fifty years and was happy until another music legend turned up and wanted to start digging below ground. robbie williams bought the house next door for his growing family he has plans to build an underground swimming pool under his garden. but jimmy page thinks the project will cause irreparable damage to his house. he's been fighting the project for five years he lodged a complaint with the local council and asked them to refuse planning permission. he likes his home too much. i've got to protect the building of. it it's a very special building and it's really difficult to be able to talk about it
because it's sort of building that when people go in there they feel it they feel the energy of it and then they and then when they start to see what's employed in the rooms and lost the plan the way it's just it's just that is unique. for the moment the project is on hold while it's reviewed the local council has decided to place more restrictions on mega basements there's too much infighting among the rich and beautiful. this is what interests roger burrows a professor of cities at newcastle university. he participated in a study of more than four thousand basements in london and the effects they have on the people in the neighborhood. one of the things that's emerging i would say so it's not simply a politically with interesting it's this kind of tension between what we call the haves and the have the are between people who i would think of just being merely wealthy persons people who are billions and billions of pounds that. cost just
doesn't like the negative headlines about the underground building revolution he says the future belongs to the bold and those at the top simply need a space like this below. well all that's missing is a private stop on london's underground. now whaling season has officially opened in iceland after a two year break fishermen once again started hunting endangered fin whales iceland and norway are the only two countries in the world that allow commercial whaling despite a global moratorium on the practice but local activists are increasingly fighting back not only because fin whales are a protected species but also because whale watching is a growing tourist attraction. see below here near macon whittaker takes people whale watching off the coast of iceland
a dream job for the marine biologist who argue it's one of the main attractions for tourists here but they need to be patient. whittaker spotted something a mink a whale is eating its way through a school of fish. the whale only stays at the surface for a few moments. with a bit of luck the guests may even catch sight of a much larger humpback whale. in the same waters where the tourists are shooting their photos others are whale hunting for whitaker a cool business. the sound it was laid out skid like i was nervous it can feel there's pain so there's a heartbeat that goes into the wild and explosion and then they bring these wells on board so it can take you know thirty minutes up to an hour but these piles but it's a long painful process i only wailing station lies hidden
at the end of a few org far from reykjavik the whale catchers have backed a fin whale the second largest mammal on earth and listed as an endangered species . act this. animal activists record the stripping of the forty ton whales blubber. begin to talk is an icelandic activist working to stop the killing of whales. she posts photos and videos on the internet hoping to inspire others to act against whaling mainly her own countrymen. this is not a tradition here really it started with no region still in it we have we have a long tradition of eating kale in iceland and growing kale so it came another way
i. wonder if the whaling company owner places no value on such criticism as a teenager he harpooned whales from his father's boat and ate the meat if you go to the museum you. will need this. it's the only meat without any harm or i can guarantee you that but it's been banned in all e.u. and us due to some research but if this sentiment is going to take over here i don't think i think iceland will be. will not be a change in the bend of the nation in a couple of years if you're going to use that argument these aren't the everything groups they want to ban all fisheries they're protesting everything. was was there these demonstrators outside the parliament building in reykjavik aren't protesting everything only for protection for the endangered fin whales. so it may
show more and more icelanders opposed whaling. the government could end the hunt at any time. instead it granted lot of sons whaling company a permit to kill one hundred ninety one fin whales in two thousand and eighteen. the uncle of our finance minister is the c.e.o. for the way the company so if this doesn't scream corruption i don't know what does but we have all the cards in parliament and they are against whaling and i hope that it will be forbidden by law to wm iceland i hardly anything is left of the giant fin whale at the station the meat has generally been sold to japan the only export market for. i son has a new business idea he wants to make a compound to treat iron deficiency. we pull frege that are even meat.
you get about thirty percent. of the meat that will be then ground down in powder. and used as a supplement. a there as a parent or as a just as a puppet. biologist meghan whittaker reacts to such business ideas with sheer horror. just look you know the other threats these animals face i will take a long time for us to rectify and blaming is something we can stop here and now and there's absolutely no need for it is just as pointless for industry. recently the hunting of minke whales at least was halted it's a key victory for iceland's conservationists and their fight against whaling. now to roam the eternal city millions of tourists flock to the italian capital
every year to visit ancient treasures like the colosseum where the pantheon or the trevi fountain roam is magnificent but it's also falling apart public infrastructure is collapsing especially streets and roads rome's administration has been accused of not doing enough mismanaging public funds the city is deep in debt so what can locals do well they're rolling up their sleeves and filling in the gaps themselves. pulled back to muscle no end his living on the streets of the a ten all sitting he has been a taxi driver here for three decades. millions of kilometers. but sometimes the job can get really dangerous every day must allow his to deal with countless potholes. will be always so this problem isn't new the city's politicians haven't paid attention to the situation for fifteen years if i could write off tire damage on my tax form you see me not have to pay any more income tax
. no one seems to know how many punch holes there are in room. fifty states indicates this one affray one turns up every ten meters in some parts of the city streets look like swiss cheese it's so real has it. for local residents the potholes are simply part of a from daily life but they've also attracted the attention of tourists city officials can't seem to get the patel problem under control despite the fact that by that own admission they've spent a lot of money on st tropez. some residents have taken matters into their own hands a group of volunteers has started filling in the pot tells themselves. they call that group tap me all filmy they figure they for pet nearly six thousand. most of the materials needed by businesses city officials tolerate the group's
efforts but provide no financial support. for all volunteers should get it is all but we donate some of our free time to deal with this serious problem. goals are a major threat for motorcyclists. and it doesn't do any good to just sit around and complain when i meet a bus and stuff will be the result we want to make a contribution. you know she's are you. to remove it when it appears you want to get out of going to us and we've even got an internet site where people can contact us and warn us about really dangerous part of us i on weekends you can find christiane devaney in his crew out on the streets filling potholes the most they've ever done was one hundred in a single day but why does this work have to be done by private citizens and not city workers that work. blames the problem on corruption.
here over the last twenty years the potholes in the streets of rome have been filled with bribes instead of tar. i think the politicians are just afraid to admit that they can fix this problem by themselves. i probably should maybe they think it would make them look bad but in situations like this you can't be too picky about how you're going to solve the problem about the what are you in the middle of your articles is not our mission in life we don't know what you want a bottle of water we just want to help out and solve a problem for the room hosted this year's general to tally up bicycle race and the riders had to keep their eyes peeled for part tells the attend all city and seemingly at ten on proper speed. well if you are planning a trip to rome anytime soon please keep an eye out for those potholes that wraps up this edition of focus on europe from all of us here thank you so much for watching we hope to see you back here next week.
