Sitting volleyball has become like a way of life for me and not only provides an outlet for all the negative energy and thoughts its also an opportunity for me to meet my friends. And of course it helps me stay fit so i benefit physically mentally and emotionally emotive to. The club named the sons of bosnia was set up after the war for those maimed in the fighting or in landmine accidents. You super bitch has been selected to play for bosniaherzegovina as National Paralympic team his twin brother are mean and the entire Family Support him they all live together and have turned their land into a small farm they also keep bees pulling together has helped the family to cope with. After my accident i struggle to accept what had happened. Just two years before his accident his brother also stepped on a landmine he was badly injured but doctors were able to save his arms and legs. The beautiful bosnian landscape is full of hidden dangers hundreds of thousands of unexploded mines are strewn across the country the familys land wasnt cleared of mines until years after amien lost his leg his brother our main was the first on the scene. Did you really think what had first i saw only a huge cloud of black smoke so i ran up there right away then. My uncle came up from the potato field a short while later. And together we managed to drag her main away from there if a little bit of a little kid with a. Unconscious and covered in blood i mean was taken to the hospital it was a miracle that he survived. Landmines and other unexploded ordnance left from the war continue to kill and maim bosnian civilians even though the country has the best mine clearance experts in europe say odd ronna clears mines for a living he briefs his team in the capital sarajevo for the days mission. But of all the while weve been given the g. P. S. Coordinates for an unexploded mortar shell that. They head up into the mountains around sarajevo bosnian and serb forces spent nearly four years here fighting a brutal war of attrition more than two decades later the region is still very dangerous and we had a accidents where they expect that these and that well but the injured. But theyre still here. They make their way through land mines and unexploded mortar shells the work isnt easy even g. P. S. Coordinates are not always precise so theres always a risk but they know their work is vital. But we think about handicapped people about people who got disabled. Due to and unexploded ordinance and minds that. Another dangerous mortar shell is neutralized but its hard work its taken nearly an entire day just to deal with one mortar from the war. Every day our main new sofa vigil works toward a time when he and his family can live a carefree life. Every victory on the court helps competing in last years Paralympic Games was particularly special but its probably when we won second place but the feeling was really the same as if we got the gold medal we were put on a stick. And mean plans to compete again in the next paralympics but his greatest dream is to see bosniaherzegovina completely cleared of landmines someday he says it will be the permanent scars of war there is not been open warfare of its kind in europe since yet some continue to wage deadly conflict on the continent france has long had a strong commitment to western secular liberalism this is perhaps one of the reasons why the country is often singled out by the Islamic State as a key target authorities are doing everything they can to prevent further attacks and to arrest those with connections to jihadists but even in custody they are still highly dangerous because of their influence on fellow prisoners in southern one clearly a we met karim one of many young men who was at risk of being radicalized in prison today curry mokhtari is free to enjoy a stroll on the beach near more people in Southern France but he spent a long time in prison for Armed Robbery that resulted in a death and that wasnt all in prison he fell under the sway of a radical preacher who wanted to recruit him for terrorist attacks for the socalled Islamic State. No spiritual foundation. Was where i came from what religion i had the preacher exploited this weakness to pull me into his orbit. Mokhtari his parents abused him he landed in a detention home and began a typical criminal career prison was like criminal graduate school. And Islamic State recruiter began influencing him and telling him what he ought to do. Very dark look in his eyes. And he said. You are a muslim and you must defend islam. You must kill the unbelievers wherever you find them. And the french state find it difficult to counter islamist radicalization and its prisons last year it was decided to isolate the radicals from the other prisoners but the decision wasnt implemented in part because there just isnt room in the overfilled jails attorneys for victims of terrorism say the authorities are not fulfilling their responsibility. Something must be done now otherwise people who are at risk to persuade others of their radical theories and who are extremely violent themselves will continue to be sent to normal prison was. There they are in contact with other inmates and so radical islam is and will continue to spread his own forces. Mokhtari says separating radicals is not enough the young men in prison should be prepared for life when they are released. Just going in to find out what makes these young men willing to die for one moment of intense existence. We have to show them how they can become useful recognised members of society. In some prisons like here in oz the near paris prisoners judged to be terrorism risks are under surveillance around the clock the guards are supposed to find out who is really dangerous and should be isolated a correctional officer who wants to remain anonymous says thats easier said than done. The most dangerous ones are those who prey the most or who practice their religion most devoutly the most dangerous ones work in secret they seem completely normal even in prison we look for a little signs what they read or watch on t. V. And how they behave when exercising in the yard. The french authorities long tried to ban islam as such from the prisons only in recent years have they begun hiring him alms to teach inmates a peaceful form of Islam Mokhtari says it was a catholic prison chaplain who turned him around. My felt that not even god could forgive me for what i had done. The priests words changed my life if god tests you its because he loves you you have the strength within you to master this test. I always wanted my mother to love me and then someone says theres a power that loves me more than people can love me. Mokhtari didnt convert to catholicism he wanted to find his own roots so he learned about islam and became a muslim today he works with prisoners first he tries to get them to accept that their prison sentence is justified then he helps them look for an apartment and a job when their sentence is over many regard mokhtari as a wonderful exception but still an exception. Looks looking at the psychological profiles of the i asked recruits you see how radical and brutal some of them are you cant bring them back. Mokhtari is convinced he can relapse into crime but he says radicals in prison still have far too easy a time finding recruits for terrorism. The battle for hearts and minds in france. We go next to spain for a story of survival in the Animal Kingdom in the north of majorca high up in the sierra the trauma lives europes largest raptor the black vulture while it has become a very rare sight in most of europe thanks to conservation efforts the birds population on the island could be stabilized but for it to continue to thrive the islands visitors and residents may both have to take a step back in time. As if effortlessly thank line for hours in majestic circles with only an occasional flapping their wings. Sunnyvale us regards them as the heroes of the mountains the black cultures of the sierra detroit montana and my orca. But their numbers have dwindled only one hundred fifty of them still live in remote parts of the island. When the wealthy when i was born up here in the mountains there were lots of black vultures thats. What impressed me most back then was that this big could fly at home. Watching them is quite a show law as its known as but that way no to. York is the only european island where black culture is still live. Carry in theaters live primarily from dead sheep and goats but the number of sheep and goats here is dwindling too. Shepherds are increasingly leaving the sierras. That animals this get away although they began in the sixtys so many people moved away because working into reason is easier noise. Thats a problem as life up here is hard and you dont earn as much money as elsewhere you know those if you know when the shepherds leave the sheep disappear and when the sheep disappears so do the vultures Maybelline Tavi scares for injured daughters and majorca she created a foundation to protect the species when the biologist from vienna came to the island thirty years ago the vultures were in even worse straits. This couple you know. And they were only about one thousand birds and just one breeding pair put it some years that bred and others it didnt and if no protective measures had been taken and these birds wouldnt be here anymore they are really their heart and. But the black vulture isnt out of the woods yet along with the lack of food tourism is stressing the birds as keep them on the increasing numbers of hikers that penetrating even the most remote areas and thats a problem for these animals. A record ten million vacationers visited my old car last year many visit the mountains and some leave the market hiking paths so to my organs like harvey whom we met by chance he wants to spend the night out under the stars and wasnt aware that that could bother the black vultures. You know going off on no one but i didnt know they spurts before i go but of course as a nature lover im somebody that the already home the bacon just by being here. Its very sad as these that. By changing Human Society confronts my yorkers vultures with fewer meals and more noisy tourists martinas all even us will have to give up shepherding too he and his wife are starting to prepare for their old age they want to spend their time with their grandchildren you know what the who we when i retire i dont know what will happen to the animals. None of my children wants to follow in my footsteps like we followed our parents. And thats how it is with my shepherds and their hearts whether they must yes the same which is a matter think that. Modern life on majorca determines the fate of the black ranchers already today many have to be fair. Martines only bail us says that thats the only way the species will survive here he hopes his heroes of the mountains will not go extinct. An idea from a teenage refugee far from home has changed life in denmark slimmer your arrived in copenhagen from moscow when she was just thirteen after years of barely having enough to eat she was overwhelmed by the abundance of food available in the average danish supermarket but she was disheartened when she saw how much of it went to waste so she decided to do something about it. Right then. Selina used goes to supermarkets to campaign not to shop shes the face of a Danish Initiative trying to stop food waste going to the uncertainty you shouldnt eat food after they expire e of the use by date and now theres another status called best before and you you can actually eat the food at this past the best before date certain member that best before does not mean toxic after. You grew up in russia she says that when she came to denmark as a teenager the affluent society she found here opened her eyes to wastage i got very upset. So eight years ago i started out a Facebook Group was called stop wasting food and two weeks later were National Media and today we have become the biggest thing is organization against food waste where sixty three thousand people just on facebook so its huge you is clearly not the only one protesting against waste and over abundance but supermarkets continue to throw away food thats no longer in its prime at best it sometimes gets used for other things. Well this is all by i can say not and this is where we throw out food that we unfortunately dont get to sell in time and all the food is going to cost so it will be used as. A thing for households actually. We food is a store to warm us heart a supermarket full of goods past their best before date it cant offer fresh fish or meat instead there are lots of frozen goods here but also vegetables customers love the low prices a Second Branch has already opened and somewheres are produced especially for the store and organic baker nearby makes more than he can sell and passes the excess on to we food hes doing that on purpose and thats. Why well because we. Actually act as a safety net because we we pay him a symbolic figure and we cover the costs of his production so hes actually able to systematically produce more than he needs to and then all the stuff that he doesnt so because then if you produces an excessive amount then hes ensuring that he never runs out of bread and at the same time if he has too much then we can just collected for and cover all his expenses was we go to the stores and pick it up for free so without report he might produce less yeah he would probably Food Production puts a strain on the environment and emits large amounts of c o two a real turnaround would be to reduce the amount of food produced not just redistribute it as a leader you also recognises the we food store its a great great great initiatives but it does not address the root cause and the root cause is that there are still a lot of food being produced in overproduced so basically the idea scenario is that the way food store is closed because theres not enough surplus produce for the way food store still there has been a change in mindset in denmark if a modest one wastage rates in the country have fallen by twenty five percent in the last decade a personal victory for you she traces her commitment to her youth at the end of the soviet union. Coming collapsed there were Food Shortages in the stores the stores were basically empty so we wasted no food because basically there was no food to eat to be wasted and we had huge respect for food. So when i came to denmark twenty four years ago. I saw the supermarkets and i was shocked i was shocked to see so much food. Youll hopes to get the big supermarket chains to start offering rebates on single products rather than volume discounts but above all she says customers have to get involved in fighting waste one persons actions can make such a difference and finally we have another tale of good intentions know what is the most unique gift youve ever received for your birthday because no wheatons plan a big surprise for their neighbors in finland to celebrate finlands one hundred Year Anniversary of independence from russia the norwegians want to give their neighbors the summit of a mountain well this would only require the border to be shifted by a few meters it would also call for a change in norways constitution. Its late summer and theres not a tree nor a bush nor a blade of grass here at Thirteen Hundred metres. Mountain guide georgs knows every rock on the hottie fell on the norwegian Finnish Border theres been a move afoot here to move the border. You know after standing here on the finnish l. T. Here to the right you see the border marker its the highest point in finland. If you look towards the other side it gets higher and thats norway so finlands highest peak has a norwegian summit. How annoying that a Mountain Peak in otherwise very flat finland has its summit outside the country across a border drawn in seven hundred forty. The oddity was first noticed by buren gare harsh on a longstanding staff member of the norwegian mapping authority. Hed been investigating some peculiar features of the Boundary Line on the hottie and decided this would be an ideal time to correct them we tried to let you know which government give you as a gift from the people to finland in accordance to in relation to their one hundred year celebration as a free nation. His main supporter is spain or. Mayor of the municipality at the foot of the halti he picked up on the idea and wrote an official request to the Prime Minister in oslo she sent an equally official response that the constitution wouldnt allow norway to cede any of its territory with kind regards. Those on the. Prime minister says no because if you had municipality i have to respect that. But maybe theyll reconsider. Its a matter of an area of half the size of a soccer field the border marker will just have to be moved a few meters. Its claimed that a compromise might be possible a swap would not file at the constitution finland would get the summit and give a piece of waste land to norway in exchange after all norway has no real use for the hottie you know we go the norwegians have plenty of other peaks to climb and the finns didnt even get the top of the pile of rocks were standing on here. I think thats too bad the poor familys financial. And what do the finns say about the issue do they really want the additional eight meters of summit from that side of the border its quite a long way to the nearest habitation there may well be more reindeer than people in the area then finally fifty nine kilometers from the how to finish village. I think it is a very rude. Reason to give to finland because we are neighbor of. Nori. I like many people come to feel alarmed because stock more tourists yes yes more tourist i love the idea here even nowadays it doesnt matter when you are up on the how that the right side there is no. Mountain guide georgs thinks the move just might turn the barren fell into a tourist magnet thats rude or not truly of course it would make this more popular especially in finland. More fans would come here just to climb their highest mountain. Making a present of a mountain top could mean a small boost to nordic tourism but it could also send a message to the world that was the original intention norway also gave the peace prize the Nobel Peace Prize every year and we could go. Ahead like a good example on how you can treat your neighbor by. Giving least this little piece a lot. Finland will be celebrating the centenary of its independence in december who knows by then with luck the countrys highest peak could be a little higher.
