Berlin london and paris they are standing up against Police Brutality and racism and they are calling for an end to Racial Discrimination especially by the police. In france of the death of george floyd has ignited a heated debate about Police Brutality in the country the frustration is particularly high among immigrant families im all been to and see is hoping that the protests will be a wake up call and that they will lead to lasting change because she has experienced firsthand what it means to have a loved one killed by the police. Amol been to see is on her way to a demonstration the french moroccan woman has been fighting against Police Violence for years ever since her brother i mean bush shot by a policeman. Ever. So mall is happy that finally people in france are protesting against racism in the police force resisting the fanfare and we felt alone confronted with the system most oppresses us and kill zone for those and when they kill over those they also kill poets of us i dont care. I mean ive been trying to grow up as a troubled youth in the suburbs of paris as a teen he was sentenced to 6 months in jail for setting a fire in a school as a young man he was jailed for robbery before violating his parole and going on the lam. 8 years ago i mean was sitting outside this bar when the police found him he ran up this street until a policeman shot him i mean think that. I was very attached to him. So i have to speak up for him. Because he deserves it. Not just because hes my brother and i love him. Too so because of his tragic fate its not hi jean. Amol gave up her job began studying law and found it in an issue to have to combat Police Violence in court she proved that an officer shot her brother in the back not as initially claimed in selfdefense the police man received a 5 year suspended sentence. A mole says her brothers death is not an isolated case in recent years many units from immigrant families have been killed despite numerous requests the police werent willing to comment on the matter im all takes us along to a shoot for a video against these filings and shes already given legal advice to rapper joel if and all men are. Like everyone here has had bad experiences with the cops. The reason for this is the last time i was inspected they insulted me like i was about boom. This isnt funny. Im shut up with the insults. Do defend she had enough of feeling like a victim only multiple support of it i want the problem to be solved the problem for the. Police brutality against people of color is no isolated phenomenon in france says sociologist and thats you please goosed. The people the color of a persons skin or the racial identity either opens doors or shuts them in all areas of society. Whether its looking for housing or a job dealing with the police in health care. At school or on the street. On every level the racial question is a structural problem in france so people from the former french colonies are dealt a worse hand than those whose ancestors come from france thats why the police respect them less than white citizens amol says her organization has developed an app to help witnesses film incidents of Police Brutality the images are uploaded directly to a server so even if Police Confiscate the phone they cant delete the recording. This will really problems often it should to be to report this people dont talk about it and tell them selves nothing will come of it. But thats just the opposite of what must be done will make a complaint help the victims and dont hesitate to take legal action. And now im all hopes the demonstrations across france will lead to real change and that people of color be treated with greater respect. Discrimination and violence these are 2 things that the Roma Community in romania is also familiar with many people from this ethnic minority who live in the squalid settlements with families often living very close to each other a lack of sanitary facilities adds to conditions that allow Infectious Diseases the spread rapidly with 19 in fact many romanians are now blaming the role for the spread of the coronavirus we visited the small town of 2 boris to see how the roma are getting by in these difficult times. This is a roma neighborhood on the outskirts of target. It was temporarily guarded by Romanian Police apparently to stop them spreading coronavirus to the city. Maria correct works for a humanitarian organization well shes one of the few people who come here to hand out groceries to the poor roma family so. Thats the take on your home ok. On the i use those children are hungry to you. Know. On leave me now with me to create the lockdown was hard we had nothing to eat and a few days ago we were allowed to collect scrap metal and to make money that now we can buy a few things but ive got 9 children and 5 grandchildren. Sometimes we dont know who will get food and who wont get it like you know. I guess some eggs and heaters sarsi helps maria decide which families need help most urgently she doesnt have enough for everyone. Hes roma himself so he sees the imbalance firsthand. About a month on the way the residents of the neighborhoods were allowed to move about freely. But here the army and police imposed a total lockdown. Maria tells us that a list of names and addresses of people infected with the coronavirus was published online. Only roman names were listed as also do i understand that they have on the spot the only people with traditional roman names were on the list he creates the impression that only 30 are infected and. This is very manipulative and discriminatory. Its unclear if this was an act of spite from someone who wanted to incite hatred but what i mean goes with that law if it came from the romanian the authority on us. At all. Aside from containing the pandemic remaining authorities seem to neglect the roman neighborhood. Garbage is rarely collected and the sanitary situation is catastrophic all bad which the big relief the city council should take responsibility you know with some locals too but its tough for them 2000 people live in this neighborhood and how many garbage comes although only for its own sake. Maria helps other roma communities in the region as well there are several others around her boomer. Tensions often flare up between roma people and other residents thats one roma man who is being accused of living in the shed for the garbage containers youre urinating in the bin it stinks like you. Do you see in the urine. What youre going to march and im sick of this ive had enough i live here shut up im talking yeah well thats a little god im not yeah. You wake up the neighbors every night with your noise we always have to call the police its a disaster. Took a look at you good but i dont know what the problem is. I mean thank god im not affected id like to work but i cant find a job. The Roma Community has faced even more hostility in light of the pandemic that are being vocal got to get anywhere looking for scapegoats and then no longer willing to tolerate things they used to tolerate. Families have clashed with police on several occasions in recent weeks. This came after police took action against roma people who returned from abroad because of the pandemic but didnt observe the lock down. Footage of this conflict made national news. Poverty aggravates these tensions maria correct is especially trying to help roma mothers. Some cant get diapers oh yes or no do you have any for an 8 month old baby yes of the 20. 2. This has to be marias last stop for the day. Her organization relies on donations which have dried up lately shes trying her best to support the minority roma people who situation as a con from bad to worse during the coronavirus pandemic. Romanians that would be a welcome guest in the u. K. Of the moment since they make up a large portion of seasonal palm workers there thats because of the corona Virus Outbreak travel between the u. K. And rumania has been restricted so thousands of workers are missing on british farms like on the new more farm the government has called on its own people to pick for britain even Prince Charles has joined the company but its not as easy as it sounds mark thought a good is the owner of the new more farm and he doubts that working with local labor as is really the solution. From afar it looks like a pastoral scene but this is the self declared British Land Army in action during the corona crisis its also a Training Exercise for breaks that when Eastern European workers might be in just as short supply and british firms as they are now has one of the breaks the 2 years key demands british jobs for british people borne fruit so theres no you know and ive got plenty more friends which have been furloughed from work which happy to turn up in a hard days work and say you know i dont i dont understand this we need more Eastern European workers flying in farmer Mark Thurgood sees things differently. Hes had to with his new recruits into shape they think its a bit of a holiday its a bit of novelty but then you know. So we went with it for a week or so and i said right thats enough that now were here for a reason you know ive got a quick pick my crop if im not going to make any money out of a so im going to breakeven theres no point in being here since then is british helpers have gotten down to work through allusions about idyllic farm life have been dust Robert Hawkins a carpenter by trade was surprised that harvesting asparagus also takes real craft on the face of it you just pick in a bit of green stuff coming out of the mud but its not. And marcus had to be very patient with us so i think what we what we learn because youve got to read the asparagus youve got to decide if its long enough what grade it is if it be better left for another few hours. And thats taken a while to do not really sure to be honest its ive have a respect for the job that they do now and i know that its actually a lot harder than. A lot of people think but yeah i have a respect for the remaining years that come here and work on here every year because its not an easy job to do. Foreman juggle gary and show the new recruits the ropes. He tries to be diplomatic when asked what its like working with this new squad. Its its different because. The english people are more happy. Birthday ommaney and then will gary and people they just walk walking were not really. Talking just just be walking now we have a have a happy team and everybodys happy. Its good so having british people picked for britain isnt really a long term alternative thurgoods Eastern European workers were quicker and more motivated and no deal brags that that leaves e. U. Citizens needing a work visa would ruin him especially after this year what hope of the visionary especially now is that. The 1st levy the u. K. Government. U. K. Public realize the need played Important Role business not that theres no doubt about it without without those but for labor then theres going to be a shortage of its a across the u. K. The farmers play it isnt much of a concern in london right now because of the corona crisis has hampered british negotiations Boris Johnsons government refuses to extend the transition period if you think there is be very clear about it our position is unchanged the transition period ends on the 31st of december that isnt showing to know theres no intention of changing and thats because most members of johnsons cabinet are briggs and hardliners who reject any extension david haneke sat in on many of the negotiations in brussels and thinks the talks will likely fail. I think the u. K. Government weve got to try something simple why dont you just give us a simple they dont realize how complicated this is thats why we need more time but the people who still thought of it they supported greg say they say this is a lot of people who never wanted to leave the e. U. To start with any extension a day is a plot by the remain as you must not extend. Marks or a good knows this all too well but hopes the pandemic will provoke a change of heart. And i hope that the British Public this year and i hope the same for the german guys. They realise that we need to follow. And commission a bit more respect. Make them realise that we do need to be here they do need to they do provide a Vital Service to the economy. Still if the e. U. Dont reach a deal Mark Thurgood may have no choice but to call in the british army again next year. Germany and france share a deep friendship and open borders but when the corona crisis hit suddenly and the borders were closed the friendship between the 2 countries was put to the test because the germans started suspecting the french on the other side of the fence of spreading the virus the borders are now reopening about their relationship remained strained we visited the region and to find out what this is all about. Plans used to fleece has its hands full in the Customs Museum in hob kishan on germanys border with france the retired customs officer is a volunteer curator of the exhibition in the old border house there arent any border controls anymore and today the museum mostly serves as a symbol of good neighborliness but now the cross border friendship faces a new challenge the Coronavirus Crisis thats just not i mean come to us i never thought id see germans having something against the french just because the coronavirus was a bigger problem in france. Cool or not i will never have believed that this would happen again the stuff you know because you know. French people faced insults and were accused of spreading the virus before the borders were closed again in march like at this bridge a German Authority had declared the neighboring french region a risk area only those who worked on the other side were allowed to continue crossing the Border Police says he understands why it had to close. Plus were considered welcome what can you do here with of course the virus doesnt stop at any border in the world its the people who come across with the virus who spread it. It hit. Hard hes french and commutes to work in germany then the border was closed overnight without notice he was allowed to cross the border but some german suddenly began to treat him as a threat that microsoft when you get told that we are now no longer wanted it really hurts. Thats why google it. Not our fault everyone knows it comes from china. So if it could just as easily have been the germans who got it worse. Its not our fault that hurt me. The mayor of the german border town of gas haim also has french roots as his name suggests Michaud Knievel read the reports of cross border commuters from france who were insulted on the streets by people who told them to go back to their corona country in germanys francophile state of silent of all places Franco German friendship was being put to the test. These are these are the crisis has shown that this friendship may not be as stable as we emerge and and wanted it to be. And i believe that we have work to do to establish a feeling at least among the locals that this partnership is important for europe to yours to go. Publicly criticize the behavior of his fellow cylon dos and now faces criticism himself or seriously accused of fake news here because many didnt want what they said to be true but i think it was important to say loud and clear that we have a problem. Now that the border is finally open again the german wants to set an example by visiting his french counterpart in neighboring claiming. Moves when we think hemant is experiencing the friendship crisis from the french side he worries that the german reaction could leave scars can lead to be a few its created a climate of distrust. In a way our history has caught up with us again while. Extremism suddenly comes out in one way or another. The flaming war memorial testifies to the history of a border region that was fought over in the wars between the 2 countries the 2 mayors say it serves as a warning for politicians on both sides they say that careless statements made the crisis worse. If the political rhetoric also influences peoples actions and how they deal with the fear thats around them and so if you tell them for weeks that you have to protect desire launders from the french then of course people take that into consideration. You mention and maybe take a rational action. And thats what weve seen here. The crisis has given the old sign of the european friendship bridge and hub kishan new meaning please the former customs officer would like it to be put back in its old place. And for intra your 1st break a friendship as strong as that between germany and france that has grown over decades with nonsense like this question of i cannot imagine that this has caused permanent damage absolutely not. In any case the Coronavirus Border closure will find a place in Florence Yousif least Little Museum as a new chapter of Franco German border history. They say youre never too old to try something new and thats probably the model of life is the all thats german man alive and when he turned 104 he didnt try out a new hobby you know he moved to a new country whole and its an interesting choice because when he was young poland was considered an enemy but today he is in love with the country its been 5 years since his left his hometown had all found on the small village of stuff and there he has found friends who become like family. Polish village is now home to germanys oldest man. Even to the surprise of the villagers here. Because they have never met anyone. I never knew someone like that lived here and stuff that he must love poland if you moved here at his age his status yes. Arnold lie so there is originally from the german city of hanover and recently celebrated his 109th birthday.
