come on on the street our rights are not i'm going to squash. they are women who are changing. the living. digital. starts to take on. alone a very warm welcome indeed to focus on europe with me peter craven and we begin in southern spain which is one of the largest gateways for illegal drugs entering the european union every day traffic has smuggle tons of hashish across the mediterranean from morocco it's an uneven battle between the local police and the gangs transporting the drugs in high powered speedboats all the more remarkable
therefore the recent arrest of drug baron francisco tech home his gang is believed to control eighty percent of the hashish that passes through the town of la linea teller concept c.e.o. . but despite that's arrest lavinia remains a key hub for the narcotics business not surprising given that the straits of gibraltar is a very narrow channel at this point out so that fact that youth unemployment in the area is up to around eighty percent while young men can earn a thousand euros a day through traffic for their part the people of the town say the situation is getting worse by the day. the african coastline is just barely visible on the horizon yet morocco one of the biggest hashish producers worldwide is just thirty kilometers away more trucks than ever before are passing through lenient elect concepcion spang people are worried that in the most of them
it's never been this battle for them pretty there of course being the rocks here but not on the scale in the most real way al everyone is talking about it they mark the message that their town seems to be getting more and more dangerous over time a little nothing but he also. the police are stretched beyond their means in the fight against drug smugglers both on land and at sea sometimes after a spectacular chase they can catch the speedboats the smugglers used to carry the drugs over to spain but this police officer who wants to remain anonymous says they mostly failed the id. scam with the drugs from over there up to the beach. with the boat but i've. got a bet i spend four wheel drive vehicles drive down from the road load up the packets and take off all in record so it. will be a boric that uses no time to intervene a little bit of. the officer shows us where they take the hashish for safety
reasons we only film from inside the car. we're going all of these big gates and high walls are supposed to block the view. and the look the drugs the tractors and the boats buy coffee on a. passion passes through this region into europe by the ton thirty mafia gangs share the business hundreds of them pounded boats and vehicles have ended up in this compound but that's just a small fraction the officer says the police need more tip offs from the locals to catch more smugglers but they're not very cooperative. look at our local difficult problem is that the drug trade has become part of the society. many people support the smuggling because they live from it it's so they don't want to stop and give it to. nobody. with unemployment at some thirty five percent and
low incomes people are being lured into the lucrative drug trade. as many feet think it's easy money has this a person says these people's heads are likely to know for a steady job but they just follow in their father's footsteps. too isn't it a fact that. violence is on the rise here two in early spring twenty eighteen twenty armed persons forced their way into the local hospital and freed a drug dealer the patient was under police guard. many residents are taking to the streets they're afraid and they're demanding a harder line against the drug gangs among them is linnaeus mayor. he feels the government is doing nothing and his city has become the cesspit of the entire coast . of africa south america you get the impression that they would like to concentrate the problem in one area or other veterans they claim. i'm not saying
it's a couch in a line that. record of i'm not paranoid or you know but the government simply has to do more for this region to look in your career. on. the authorities have a quipped the police with faster boats and are now trying to gain control of the situation. but this police officer says that's just not enough the problem is already far too large the authorities no longer rule alenia the drug gangs do police officers have even been assaulted. out i mean not angle at all. the fellow officers are seriously consider. in applying for a transfer and so my. we don't have the proper means to protect ourselves how are we going to ensure safety for a whole community of. the drug trade in the name yet brings
in those involved over three hundred million euros every year and the police are finding it difficult to change that. the united kingdom might be on the verge of breaking away from the rest of europe but consolation is that hand for british citizens wanting to drown their sorrows because english wine is booming that's right english wine enthusiastic wine makers like ben and christina taking advantage of climate change to step up production of vintages and to competing with europe's best. these grapes could give french wine makers a headache. on this particular part of the shop near the back that we can get from quite tropical kind of roy. almost like stone fruit flavors coming three. tropical in this kind of weather. here in
east sussex in southeastern england the organic grapes take more time to ripen and they're harvested later than in most of continental europe. we don't have a lot of sun we don't have another heat so it's kind of growing a lovely delicious part of. considering that second chances. kristen celtic used to work as a p.r. adviser now she's a wine growers in part thanks to climate change. it does rain a lot here in east sussex but temperatures are rising steadily making conditions ideal for the british sparkling wine which could give france's champagne region some competition. champaign used to be a relatively marginal climate it was cold growing grapes and making wine now it's warmer there and it's i had
a chap here who visited the vineyard from champagne and he was from a champagne growing making family and he said that the climate in the u.k. is similar to what he grew up in champagne forty years ago grower ben smith is confident that the english grapes can take on french champagne there's a lot of tastings out there that have happened blind tastings pitching the best english talking winds against champagne blind tasting so nobody can see the label and english ones come out competed with the best. does this mean that britain might one day be self-sufficient in wine production and independent of the rest of europe. an unofficial taste test shows that this is no understatement at least when it comes to bubbly britain can free itself from the continent but it does happen we have the right champagne so we're not too worried
compared with germany and france and italy cools so they don't produce anywhere near the quantity that it starts to know this we can produce some really tasty stuff. the wine growers have big plans for the upcoming years. kristin has already bought some more land to further her wine growing ambitions. and cheers to the u.k. in the difficult weeks and months that inevitably lie. now the republic of tatarstan is located in russia's volga district with its capitol cuz it's home to the tall tall people who are very proud of their culture and just as proud of their language but that makes them suspicious in moscow's eyes and the russian authorities have now ruled that the tata language should no longer be mandatory teaching in the republic schools prompting fears that culture is endangered but
there is resistance. these are the sounds of touch are learning the language through song is how the ethnic ta-ta or les son got to have a teacher said to her primary school students that these touch our children can still learn their native language is thanks to the school principal pavel schmeichel of he has refused to let go of his touch our teachers in defiance of the central education authority in moscow last year it had ordered an end to tar intact are stand as a required subject prompting teachers to be fired. at which implore the dr could link it if the decision was back before the touch our culture with its poets and writers is very interested he could do another with good will be learned about if the language is removed as a required subject there will be the beginning of the end of the time to our culture but i think the version is important to the navy that. the qataris are
majority muslim ethnic group they have lived in touch our stand of republic within russia for centuries peacefully coexisting with russians and many other ethnicities . within the walls of the citadel in castle on the republic's capital a mosque and church side by side symbolize a long history of balancing local custom with the majority culture. although there were public lost its special status the touch hours have always been viewed as autonomy and russia and that independent. streak has not gone unnoticed in moscow a year ago president vladimir putin demanded that schools in tatarstan only teach russian as a required language no more tar the decree came as a shock to the tars michel your shake love is the chairman of the society of the russian culture of tatarstan he thinks the touch ours of too many rights in their republic which could lead them to split off from russia tar is
a useless language he says because the touch ours all speak russian anyway. the guy will store this for. the republic of tatarstan is not an independent state but the stone it is always and forever a part of russia of course not that it would all the symbols of state are nothing more than decoration it's a limitation. as some kind of state language is best to be abolished. it's. found us. a former deputy in russia's parliament disagrees and tirelessly. he's concerned russian ethno nationalism is undermining the stability of the vast multi-ethnic country. he thinks russia will only remain a strong country when its many different ethnic groups and nations enjoy cultural autonomy. i'm not worried that our target our language
and culture will vanish i think they'll survive business but it can and measure but smaller ethnic groups could end up losing their identity of these new regulations aren't scrapped using your will now there will be a catastrophe. at the with. the school principal part of an ethnic russian concurs he's convinced the country's many different cultures and languages are treasure worth protecting which is why he's refusing to heed moscow's decree to stop teaching the tart our language. gives you shouldn't label people as either clever russians or stupid tatars or vice versa that just crosses nationalist conflict which some people are keen to provoke that it could end badly someday. but the invest. who fall in losses by teaching her students the touch our language. is helping them discover
their touch our density. and her pupils want to keep the tartar language as a school subject for practical reasons to. me it's really helpful to know the tartar language when you live here many shopkeepers only speak. good at that that's because that is. knowing the language of your ancestors helps you better understand the culture and it makes for a more peaceful life force. as it stands these students will keep learning tar because everybody here is eager to preserve their unique cultural heritage. well if you want to generate electricity irrigate your fields or collect drinking water then build a dam which is precisely what they are for it is in boulder area been doing creating a vast network of as many as three hundred and hydroelectric plants with many.
bugs environmentalists are raising the alarm saying that dams are having an irreversible impact on book areas countries. crystal clear and it would appear untouched the gush gary has rolled up mountains along with other mountain revers it is a natural paradise with a unique flora and fauna sun east of young used to love to come fishing here now he says there are hardly any fish left. but it's been going on like this for years that the water level is sinking and there are less and less fish because some structures don't have anything left to talk with their net worth i'm up thirty one . this concrete dam is the reason why it stores water to generate electricity pumping nearly all of it to a power plant nearby. what's left of the gushing ya is just
a feeble trickle. the conservationist demeter coleman of has been examining these fatal side effects for years. well richard noted but not that anybody but any living creature comfort by doing. this pipeline diverts the gushing as water to a small power station. built by private investors and subsidized by the e.u. it's a lucrative business at the cost of the environment cohen now says. he did nothing against the developer to force him to fall below. what we see here he's going to get it because i'm. going to get side killed with the european union money. he wants to show us just how devastating it can get. we're heading to a neighboring valley. severe storms made the chair cosco river swelled to
a raging torrent that swept up tons of debris. since then the debris has blocked the dam and the river bet is drying up. you can do the fish but the blood sure it makes me angry i reckon a tree i bought because people got a buck yeah i actually don't no one is getting profit i got fucked up and. thanks to the primitive dam the storms also ravaged the nearby village of my high call they relied on the dam for protection and on the promises made by the energy producers. that they had to stand by and watch the floods sweep away and tire houses. the people producing the electricity are getting all the money. and what do we get that absolutely nothing.
today there are over two hundred seventy power stations in bulgaria one of them the giant sun called coming down but environmental organizations say its electricity production is modest with only a small portion of the country's electricity coming from hydro power. nevertheless sophia's government has just approved three hundred more plants we asked the deputy minister responsible why. by the court. we inherited this issue from the previous government and we're trying to find a solution. that the problem is that the specialists and institutions involved don't always agree. and that's very important when construction has already been authorized for this parish. so
responsibility is passed from one to the next while construction continues. but with each dam built nature dwindles along with a chance of attracting tourists to bulgaria's pristine rivers like here in the balkan range. cod and dimitar man and have a small canoe shop here by the iscar river now they fear for their future. if the river gets too slow there's no point in cracking anymore. not far away what he dreads has already come true the procope hunted down his held by a shareholding company it's one of forty three power stations in its portfolio and there are more planned that reservoir is filled with muddy water gas bubbles burst at the surface pointing to a decay process below. the corporate speaker claims it's all part of the
natural cycle. i mean it's you know mickey we inspect the riverbed very closely physically and chemically what we see here is a completely normal seasonal process that would happen with or without us. it's a lame excuse in the eyes of environmental activist demeter kumar not at this moment that this is already a bloated lot that we've had temperature and placed oxygen. cut it down for me not to use that kind of water. and yet they keep laying more concrete. beyond the dams bulgaria still has many untouched and wild mountain rivers the question is for how long. on a different note how would you fancy going over treasure hunt it sounds exciting and it's an increasingly popular hobby all you really need is
a metal detector and you can set out to look for finds like a whole lot of old gold coins i say hobby which is not quite true because the internet has turned this pastime into big business here in germany alone the number of artefacts sold on e bay has risen to something in the range of ten thousand a year traditional archaeologists like marianne bradley say our heritage is at risk they called treasure hunters detectorists or just plain looters plundered archaeological sites are a growing problem in germany and parkland is in charge of excavations but a two thousand year old roman burial ground whenever possible she and her team dig in secrecy for fear of illegal treasure hunters. then done twenty but when this all fever takes over they just keep digging and they might make off with crucial fines that would have told us the dates or enabled some other conclusion that vick discoveries that are forever lost to science it's hard to pin
a monetary figure on the damage caused by illegal treasure hunters but police estimate it's in the millions of euros. treasure hunting with special detectors has evolved into a kind of sport many hunters wear camouflage and carry high tech equipment there after profit and adventure bugs. going it's almost like when you take up this hope you have certain expectations and then one day you might hear that signal somewhere that could indicate something really interesting and you think this is it. every year treasure hunters in germany hold a major event a big rally for digging up metal and gold coins whoever finds the greatest number of the most value is declared the country's national champion. gold gold gold the first signal the first corn and it's a major five a gold coin. many treasure hunters view it as
a sport but not archaeologist marion barker at the championships she tries to talk to the detectorists as they call themselves and inform them about the damage they can cause. my worst experience was when we were investigating a burial site during the night someone went through it with some kind of trident and dug up everything they could one for me and you could see the marks it left and a lot of things were ruined this couple both players helped out by her colleague pay to him he often runs into detectorists these days and always tells them that they need a permit and what to do if they find something legally. it should be labeled put in a finds bag and numbered and perfected of. all these are roman coins presumably from the first century. many detectorists throw stuff like this in the
scrap box here it's numbered measured and entered into the find report that's how it should be done many treasure hunters cooperate willingly with archaeologists but others resent what they see as unwarranted interference there after the adventure like axelle telephone carked he maintains a website called the german detectorists union. just claim you need a permit in general and that anyone who doesn't have one is considered a looter but that simply not true and for college i often heard a blanket statements like that you can go anywhere you want with your metal detector and not have to worry about restrictions that's absolutely false. the two sides are at loggerheads and there are black sheep in every community and some treasure hunters go off to bombs munitions and weapons like those found here in that i just felt that's dangerous and just as illegal as digging in excavation sites without a permit. doesn't guns gets you those who are looters after very specific objects
they're organized like mafiosos they target certain burial mounds and dig illegally the whole thing is a commercial enterprise tied to the archaeologists it's a disaster when it's a thorn before you want to get up if in a grave there are bone carvings and burial objects but all the vessels and horns are already gone because someone stolen them back yeah that's a huge loss for us that's then the reason for lost ideally the archaeologists would like to turn their detectorists into partners and in the process help them understand the value the very treasures have for posterity. and that's all from focus on europe this time around thanks so much for joining us and if you'd like to see any of our reports again just go to our home page on d.w. don't call him forward slash focus on europe old visit on facebook but feel news for him to come back next time around so when five trips to thank you
