Recent Catalonian Referendum deemed illegal by the Spanish Government catalonian separatists hope to split from the rest of spain in parliament catalans president pushed him on said he wanted independence but only after negotiations with the Spanish Government a message that was welcomed by his followers freedom and independence these are fundamental European Values proudly written in too many constitutions this freedom however also has limitations sometimes the price of freedom can be hotly disputed consider spain not every catalan believes that freedom means independence as a result many communities where some residents call for unity while others and cyst on independence are being torn apart like in the village of mont blanc. His all of us are nearly right have andrea is hoping the Catalonian Independence movement will also soon bear fruit here in month long theyve been fighting to split from the rest of spain for a long time they believe catalonia shouldnt have to keep paying for the economic failure of other regions. Are always the ones who pay its not right financial plans need to be fair if someone produces more they should see more returns. Most people in the small town of mont blanc favor Catalonian Independence even though the king bears the title duke of montblanc the City Government wants to revoke that title. Parents are an illusion and even though he identifies as catalan hes not in favor of independence. He has the machinery and spare parts business and deals with a lot of international partners. So the prospect of an isolated catalonia worries him. Of course im worried that we might become independent and split from spain it makes me nervous that we dont know where were headed and what will become of us but i know who i am and where i live catalonia. The catalans are divided some want to split from spain others want to stay and are concerned about the economic fallout of a potential split the companies with headquarters in catalonia are considering moving thats making diehard supporters of independence nervous such as gay yam come to us and. The damage being done to the cotton. This divide its the fault of the politicians. In mont blanc to politicians have stirred up Pro Independence sentiment at the tell me all the spanish flag was taken down long ago. The mayor. Is a resolute separatist. This day and we have been nurturing our entrepreneurial spirit since the Industrial Revolution let us go our own way then well see within two or three years well become one of europes leading economic. Machine regular paid little navaho doesnt agree he believes too much is at stake not just the future of his own company but his identity too but i want to its painful my parents came here to work fifty years ago everything i am i owe to them and to all the angelous ians who came to catalonia to help build it. As far as all of farmer pep andreae is concerned people like pedro arent real catalans especially if they dont support the separatist movement hes convinced that catalonia needs to become independent as soon as it has to happen now or it will take another three hundred years my sons and grandsons wouldnt live to see it. It cant all be for nothing says. The demonstrations the referendum and the fight for a catalan republic independent of the kingdom of spain. But at what cost a resolution can only be found if all sides agree. For some time now weve reported on how hundreds of thousands of refugees and migrants made dangerous journeys to reach greece and italys coastlines but this summer has been different because of tighter restrictions and increased patrols there a new route was inevitably discovered across the black sea to romania the country has seen a sudden uptick in new arrivals coastguards warn the route could prove deadlier than others. At the mercy of the black sea crammed onto a far two tiny boat heading towards romania. This is also how even by zani came here two weeks ago with their children. They are still shook up from the Dangerous Passage from istanbul. We were afraid to set off after seeing what shape the boat was in i got mad at my husband we watched parts of the boat fall off but it was too late the waves were very high and water into the boat we were so scared. For several weeks the romanian coast guard has been encountering overcrowded smuggling boats day and night within a month nearly five hundred people from iraq iran and syria have fled across the black sea to a mania the coast guard is concerned a new socalled black sea route could emerge from turkey to remain. Captain catalan press has been on several operations rescuing refugee boats. Popped up cold turkey has a very long coastline much longer than ours its very difficult to continuously guard the entire coast. Human traffickers profit from this and managed to send boats over she went on what it was just something you dont but thats what. The bias hanis argue that they survived they hadnt been aware of the danger. All that mattered was to leave turkey towards europe they tell us the black sea route is an inside. Joke much of we came through turkey because its easy to start from there and because many human traffickers are there. On the front of the Turkish Police dont do anything about it theyre bribed by the smugglers. Having arrived in romania the Human Trafficking is all rested their boats convocated by the remaining coast guard held together by nothing more than rust numbers of decommissioned turkish fishing on tourist boats are rising. Then now arriving at the ports of constant is a result of european refugee politics according to refugee expert and. Desperate people always find a way. The fact that we have these ships on the black sea shows that the typical routes are shut down and are no longer an option on the. Internet thats one increasing number of refugees on landing in constanza and many remain ins are skeptical. About the state should keep these people away from us they shouldnt come to us like they did to germany tragedies keep happening there. Did you notice or not but i personally believe we should help each other i wouldnt want to live in a country like theirs with so much war and nobody is there to help. Them much with anything even by zanny and his family were brought to a tourist. Along with forty other refugees they say they cant go back to iran. I worked at the court where my brother was a judge i had access to many secret documents. Files that contained proof against influential corrupt people. They told me to smuggle these files out and threaten to kill me if i didnt. With the friend emma could limit most of. The buys on a glance theyve made it that remaining is only a temporary stop on their journey they want to keep using as soon as possible to sweden wont gemini. Just stand on was an early supporter of french president amanda we did a report on her in the run up to the election showing how inspired she was by the Progressive Political party he founded but after five months on the job now controversial reforms have caused his Approval Rating to do windell its passionate supporters like just seen who may end up saving his job for him. You seen on that he has been a mccall supporter from day one in the run up to the election she spent months campaigning for his party putting her job as a veterinarian on hold. Now shes once again hitting the streets of paris his mom mocked district. This time to convince her fellow citizens to support the president s unpopular workplace reforms. Id be interested to know why you are unconvinced. The comment is that companies are built on the backs of their employees and these people will have fewer rights and. I dont see the logic. This is why do you say that no one is going to lose existing rights but. Just dean is fully committed to the cause. But after the president ial election she to suffer disappointment. Her party chose not to endorse her as a parliamentary candidate opting for a more experienced politician to run in her district. Just tries her best to come to terms with the decision. Yes that came as a blow. Suddenly we didnt see eye to eye anymore. But these rivalries and the issue of who gets which post there are of secondary importance is possible that. Even without a seat in Parliament Just dean has enough on her plate the protests against mccall are growing in number in particular the Left Wing Party of his own look mannish is drawing support. This fighting against macross plan to legislate his new workplace agenda by decree without input from parliament. The government has launched a full scale attack on the french people this affects all of our societys achievements the Education System the Health Care System pensions social law this is their attack on us. Just finds the protests unfair. Emanuel mccall made it clear during his Election Campaign that he would reform the labor market by decree as soon as possible and mccall was democratically elected. Thats why i find these demonstrations unfair. Nevertheless recent polls show micro his popularity has slipped his approval is even lower than that of his unpopular predecessor Francois Hollande political scientists however are taking those figures with a grain of salt many of the votes cast in the second round were not so much for much as against the far right candidate marine le pen. Thats according to pascal perry no he believes its only natural that people grumble but mccrone still has a few months in which to prove his abilities. Political opponents are at odds and they dont have a clear leader. Strength is partly due to the weakness of his opponents. At the same time there are signs the economy is improving. So the french are more likely to feel optimistic about the future. The greater danger according to perry no is that the young president s with rise to power and newfound celebrity will distance him from his own base. Just being knows that for this reason people like her play an important role. To do. The danger now is that there will be more and more tension that aggression towards the government will pileup and divisions will appear so thats why its important to explain the purpose of the reforms so that people once again can identify with these political goals. Without supporters like just seen touting the governments agenda its possible the new president s Approval Ratings could drop even further. What inevitably happens when you thermoses are cut and education and police are starved of funding the austerity measures introduced in britain in the wake of the financial crisis didnt invent knife crime but now its thriving major cities across the country are recording record knife attacks last year alone our reporter met with a youth worker in south london who fears for the future. We are on our way to croydon in south london. In the course of just twenty four hours two young people have been killed in night for attacks here. This is a Police Someone something oh im. Looking. For traffic. So ive got a call that someones got a gun in a car or someones just trying to stab somebody. Quinten slowly knows what hes talking about hes an advisor to the police also does Community Outreach work with young people with violent tendencies theyre often gang members not even sixteen years old hes a former gang member who has spent time in jail himself that was ten years ago times have changed. I think the young people have totally lost their way and they have them go positive role models to show them that what theyre doing is wrong they have lost their cultural identity they dont respect anyone because if you look there are tuck in no more citizens industry on the buses back you might be you would be attacking someones mum on the bus. Knife attacks have become an epidemic in britain where there were thirty four thousand of them last year alone mainly in city outskirts like croydon where poverty and unemployment are rife. Real life here. Means drugs and violence kwanten is taking us to meet one of corydons main gang leaders he caught himself young chapel where meeting in a remote corner of a park in a rival gangs territory its a deliberate provocation. And i always carry knives. Here everybody very probably more though and when do you use it just with them was. So protection. For thought here money robbery anything from the. One up for. What they put mine i will show you that a camera. Who is close to me going to no money is not a moment for me to have to be in and in stabbing. A call and tell you when i know. But you have seen some stabbing. He plays his cards close to his chest carrying a knife is punishable by up to four years in jail police have stepped up id checks in response to knife crime or weapons or confiscated by police or surrendered as part of a nationwide program. Knives and other blades from the forty Police Districts have been taken to Clive Knowles ironworks. Typically the kitchen noise which obviously somebody can grab cling to by inmates but you know there would be the be tens of thousands in here but it is disturbing you know anybody looking at that can see that the reason absolutely no question over it being. Of control and b. Clive is over worked in conjunction with Police Forces across england his British Ironwork Center launched an incentive called save a life surrender your knife which encouraged young people to surrender knives anonymously. The center sponsors the steel containers and gets to keep the contents yet but. Some one hundred thousand nine hundred eight swords and other weapons used in Violent Crime have been made into a knife angel sculpture its a tribute to the victims many mothers come here to mourn the songs theyve lost their names are engraved on the sculpture. And connor told me that liam. And the wesley. Time was her only son he was killed eighteen months ago ambushed by a gang on his way home from a supermarket and stabbed by a sixteen year old. Using a packet of crisps i cant understand i find it so very hard. So. He was working so hard he was working three jobs he had a beautiful girlfriend he had a potential future. It was all just snatched just take a deep. Rachel webbs anger is directed at the perpetrators but also at the politicians the government has pledged to clamp down on knife crime but what good is new legislation if the roots of the problem go on tackled. Theyve cut back on new Years Services over the past two years straight to order way back so you have limited you if you intervene even in just about a minority i get to thoughts about reactive work were constantly reacting to things. Once kids get involved with crime quentin says its hard to get out its like a marriage till death do them part. Increasingly many turkish people feel like strangers in their own country particularly if they work in industry is considered liberal or progressive ever since last summers failed coup and the aggression shown towards anyone perceived as a critic to the government many actors and directors now complain of the istanbul art scene is dominated by a climate of fear this led one turkish actor to consider moving his family to berlin moving into the unknown. The culture turks are packing up kamal and his wife a pianist are leaving their house in istanbul their flight to berlin is in just a few hours along with their two daughters dhamma and yasmeen they are starting a new life and i dont know that the kids made this. But we cant take everything with us. It makes me so sad but thats life you always have to leave something behind. That. The concert family is leaving behind their house with a yard on the edge of the city near the black sea. After her husband had a guest performance in berlin they decided to move to the german capital the german consulate in istanbul granted them a six month artist he said that allows them to seek employment in germany. Ever since the failed coup the situation has escalated dangerously. And. I was so worried about him we see him people are simply arrested at night and locked away. I couldnt stop thinking about it just. The neighbors have come to say goodbye they can understand the culture turks decision and many turks are considering leaving the country. Let them go ahead and see what its like and then we can visit them and see how theyre doing. Look just. Like you then its time to say goodbye. Not only to their house and their best friends. But somehow also to their entire life as they had known it. Berlin two weeks later. The cacciatore family was able to stay in an acquaintances apartment at first they have already found their own apartment and will be moving soon but they still havent found work. Even before leaving i had said my opportunities would be limited here in germany where i wont be able to earn money as easily here with my turkish place but the difference is at least i can try. Its time for their appointment at the berlin Immigration Authority its about their residence permit well the family be allowed to stay and if so for how long the cogito is hope theyve gathered all the right papers certifications from theatres that want to work with kamal confirmations from the daughter schools bank statements.
