But its turned into a nightmare for developer measure yet because no one wants to live here. Hes the one who dreamed up the idea of building the chateau style velez some 200 kilometers east of istanbul heavy living in the us were here in the turret that every driller has. For your own whos going to enjoy the view of the natural landscape. They also have a nice overview of the estate and other villas. We have our arab friends in mind as buyers and weve seen how theyve been keen to invest money in our country in recent years theres been a little. Bit were done get them a little goes in there we still do. But the yet to lynns dreams havent come true because the arabs have stayed away 200000000. 00 u. S. Dollars have been sunk into the project before the developer filed for bankruptcy last year its just one of many real estate projects that have gone bust in turkey. The building the which had been fueled by low Interest Rates and cheap credit has come to an end. Experts Say Developers lost all sense of proportion and theyll far more homes than need it now in times of high inflation and a weak turkish lira the industry is suffering you know if you can all 6 in order to bear to the Previous Year new home sales have collapsed that is the number of mortgages issued has fallen by close to 80 percent. Thats led to massive layoffs in the Construction Industry could. You show one in every 6 people there is lost his job. As some 2000000 people are employed in the sector you can imagine the seriousness of the situation triggered. The bush Housing Development was also supposed to create lots of jobs.

Local historian made much on torque lives in a 200 year old timber house that he has lovingly restored hes proud of my door knows our teas and all traditions. Little to do. In this house not even the nails come from a factory blacksmith made them with a hammer and.

Peace on the border between the republic of ireland and Northern Ireland well today there are few traces left of the past conflicts but decades ago when the borderlands were a place rocked with criminal activity and terrorism many smugglers profited from the separation and division but the good friday agreement and the e. U. Single market brought stability to the island now with breaks that looming there are worries that a no deal scenario could reignite illegal activities there again people like Seamus Murphy fear that a hard border could encourage separatists and smugglers to return to the violence of the past the color of the Free Exchange is reaching back to the right from his home in the republic of ireland Seamus Murphy shows his friend peter where the irish border runs rex it is a constant topic of conversation and concern for them some cynical humor helps. It would be illegal for. To take his dog from that house down as far as those pine trees because once he passes the pine trees in the republic of ireland about his dog would not be allowed to have that it would need rabies shots like im not too sure hes going to come play with that regular guy that you have not i have me doubts about that. Here in the border region people arent big sticklers about regulations Seamus Murphy says smuggling was part of everyday life when he was a boy so most of the time the goods involved are a fairly innocuous detergent. Or a couple of sheep in a carrier. Almost anybody over 50 years of age have themselves some smuggling skills and we admired smugglers when we were children there were legends there were robin hood figures in this area so there was no social condemnation of a smuggler smuggling was perfectly respectable business to be in. Mc who prefers to keep his last name to himself says he to smuggle goods back to them the truck driver brought his cargo across the irish border on country roads avoiding the customs officers altogether. Because he believes that will bring with it duties and price differences and that will encourage smuggling again. Where. Id be going to barbados facio and instead of yeah it was very you know like. The so money back well since 2 or 3 on the cross and 0 over the years the couldnt do. This thing in. The b. C. It was in the old days these warehouses right by the border were used to smuggle in cattle grain heating oil and other products until the e. U. Customs union and open borders made it unprofitable but gangsters continue to operate in the region and could profit from. The danger is very substantial there are people with access to hundreds of thousands opposed to invest in the goods that they want to smuggle and those are the people with existing links to crime. Work together just as criminal gangs have cooperated in particularly in illegal cigarettes and importing of illegal said cigarettes from Eastern Europe from. After that it could be more lucrative for these gangs to smuggle beef from the u. K. Into neighboring ireland and then sell it for higher prices in the e. U. The only way to stop them would be to implement tougher border controls but politicians warn that that could also reignite the Northern Ireland conflict. Has the potential to bring us back if theres any infrastructure. At the border and. Border control attentional bring us by those dark days and thats very worrying for people and thats why its so imperative that there is no return to the borders of the post. This former British Customs shed is a relic of that past. Conor patterson from the new reeked of commerce and trade recalls that it would sometimes take an entire day for a truck to clear customs. Although back then there was less trade between Northern Ireland and the republic of ireland. That facility was both here and in our area that was secure we have we have cameras we have we have the British Military very close by the previous facility was was was destroyed and the ira which killed 9 people im not swore they actually arjuns of the political conflict came from thats why 300000 british soldiers and Northern Ireland during the course of the 30 year conflict. Some bricks that supporters say the answer to the problem is a smart border with infrared cameras and motion sensors but among locals theres also huge opposition to the idea. The problem of the right. So any take knology installed at this border will not last 24 hours. Why because it will be either blown up by paramilitaries ripped down by respectable people like me. By. The well of these 2 men who want things to stay just the way they are at the irish border they view it as a threat to peace and stability in the region and no one wants the troubles to return. 2 syrians accused of carrying out torture on the orders of dictator Bashar Al Assad are currently awaiting trial in germany and its thought many other suspected war criminals entered the disguised as refugees but investigators now have vital evidence out of syria during the war to trace them down this has given hope to maryam lock she has been seeking justice for nearly a decade for her son who was killed by assads torturers. Mariam lives in a berlin suburb shes from syria and part of a major hunt to catch Syrian Secret Service members who committed crimes like these. Mari im son is one of the regimes many victims he was beaten and tortured to death when the Syrian Civil War broke out. I dont live on one of his fellow students even help torture him he had always been very courteous towards i hum and greeted hand and the news that. I dont understand how someone could turn into a torturer and become a monster like that. Serious secret service systematically tortured just for speaking up for human rights demanding syria become a democratic country and for urging assad to step down. Now 8 years after a yobs death his mother wants justice. I want the culprits to be brought to justice from the accomplices all the way up to president assad and these people are responsible for spilling our childrens blood. There are more than 26000 pictures of syrian torture victims they could help convict syrian torturers and murderers in the coming years their victims and their relatives demand justice like syrian human rights lawyer darvish who was tortured before being able to flee the syrian capital damascus is a few months the school to settle for us the branches he become like this. Many of his friends and political allies in the fight against the assad regime were abused like this no one knows how many people lost their lives. The lawyer shared all of his information with european investigators and has joined human rights organizations in pressing charges against former syrian tormentors. European police are currently investigating former assad torturers who fled to europe disguised as refugees in february 1 suspect was arrested in france and 2 others in germany. Among them anwar or who came to the german capital berlin as an asylum seeker. This is a 5 stone it will be a thorough. Investigation is this is the 1st time you know this is the 1st time there is a respectable independent court judge and we have determined suspect and the size of the law and the state of florida we dont have it in syria. We have seen documents showing that germanys federal office of criminal investigation has investigated on more hours suspected involvement. The Syrian Secret Service we have asked the Syrian Embassy in berlin for a statement it refused to comment. It could be that the prosecution of syrian torturers seems to be gathering momentum in europe. Where at the secret Investigative Bureau somewhere in europe where bill wiley of the commission of International Justice and accountability is working hard to catch syrian criminals. Used to hunt war criminals as a un prosecutor now he has access to a vast archive of syrian state documents that could prove crucial in catching assads henchmen basically. What you have in this room are materials generated by the Security Intelligence structures of syria the military structures of syria and the party or political structures of syria at the top level and at the government levels here they are the files documenting the crimes of the Syrian Regime they have been meticulously cleaned scanned and logged and carefully analyzed by several dozen investigators they comprise interrogation reports and many other files that document figures within the Security Apparatus that systematically tortured people they also shed light on suspected syrian torturers like anwar how many. People do you think. Were. More senior ranks of the senate or are. Maybe more were. You aware of the documents could you imagine. There could be more of your. Surely more serious whether turkey or. Elsewhere italys. Mario luck whose son was murdered by the Syrian Secret Service hopes that not only the killers of her son will be caught but all perpetrators that have gone into hiding will meet justice for her the hunt has just begun. It was a stark warning from environmental experts that made headlines by 2050 there could be more plastic than fish in the worlds oceans well that threat is increasingly prompting grassroots action like a project taking place off the coast of lithuania the baltic sea is awash with what are called ghost nets lost or abandoned fishing nets made of plastic sabina caco discovered the problem years ago now she leads a team of volunteers who have trees the nets from the seabed a painstaking process. Some final instructions before the diver. How do the nets look. I dont know dozens of old fishing nets are caught on a shipwreck off lithuanias coast sabina caco and her crew are going to bring them up. Care cow is a pharmacist and one of germanys most experienced divers. In 2016 she noticed a particular kind of waste in the baltic sea hold trolling and fishing nets. A study revealed that thousands of nets are lost in the baltic every year. Europe has to lay the foundation for plastic to be prohibited as far as possible by. 10 percent of the plastic trash in the seas consists of ghost nets. And when they degrade they release micro plastics and vast quantities. Every year care cowan or fellow divers set out from lithuania to bring up the ghost nets on a voluntary basis they finance their operations mostly out of their own pockets. Once at the wreck the divers find no shortage of nets to marine animals their deadly traps. Care cow on the other divers try to cut the net away with a simple no but make no headway eventually they abandon the operation. Some of these nets are decades old and arent about to give up easily. Theyre made of all kinds of materials and theyre all different ages. Besides these are enormous and very very heavy. Heavy from the lead water and sand and everything thats been washed into them over the decades. We have to cut them up into little pieces to bring them up to the surface. But now the nets are already piling up in many ports such as in the south of sweden here is part of a baltic wide pilot project. From the Port Authority is looking for Ecological Solutions for disposing of the waste. Plastic industry will not be able to use. Because its too mixed different types of plastics they want to have very clean room much earlier. But now the tons of waste can be offloaded in series and taken to a recycling facility for old fishing nets on swedens west coast. Here employees painstakingly cut apart the tangled nets. The various materials are then separated and recycled each in the appropriate fashion. Its still good quality but its not good enough for fishing but it could be good enough for an beach bag but it worked in the process of turning old fishing nets into beach banks is complicated so being a character house team has finally succeeded in bringing parts of the enormous trawling net to the surface but they still have to keep it aboard their boat. For us as a group weve achieved fabulous success and im overjoyed i think its wonderful that weve managed to get this done and that everybody worked together so well lets keep it up. They all agree that many more people and especially governments will have to join in their battle against the ghost nets. The few countries at least want to introduce a tagging system for fishing nets so in future their owners can be traced so being a caricature sees it as a 1st step that they asked me if i you know if we can prevent 5210000 nets getting lost again this year then well only have to worry about the ones already underwater. And we wont have to worry that for every net we bring up 100. 00 more are being discarded. So cares about the baltic sea shell soon be back she says the battle against the ghost nets has just begun here in the baltic sea and all the around the world. It is made here it can be all done right or rich and cultured im talking of course about swiss cheese a staple in kitchens all over the world but thats thanks in part to its mass production which started in switzerland and the region emon tall where the king of all she says is created well now an experiment is adding a new dimension to traditional recipes producer bad player says he has scientific proof that music can make a difference in taste. The emmen valley or amman tal is where switzerlands best known cheese comes from and one of the producers here wants to make his product even better. There tom flair is a veterinarian and a cheese maker whos looking to revolutionize the world of cheese. Intolerance 2 and a half years old microorganisms are working on it mostly bacteria. And its amazing actually that theyre able to affect its aroma all the way down to the very heart of the cheese at this case as the 9. The family wants to get those bacteria to begin vibrating to music he believes that might change the taste of his genes. Then on the song when you put your hand on the wheel of cheese and feel the sound waves move through it its hard to believe it wouldnt have some kind of effect on the. Firm clues experiment is getting a little help from students at the university of the arts in barron. For more than 6 months theyll serenade his cheeses with a range of beats and sounds including rock songs by led zeppelin mozarts opera the magic flute techno or hip hop. Wanted to just like. The sound waves will pass through the wheels of cheese causing them to vibrate in different ways depending on the music hip hop and. Hip hop has lots of bass in it the classical pieces are very dynamic with quiet sections but very loud ones tonight allowed so does the cheese feel any different after half a year of acoustic irradiation. I didnt feel a difference with the rocknroll one but i hope ill be able to taste it to make it up on. A jury made up of cooks and artists is judging the results of the experiments they quickly reach an unequivocal conclusion you read yes there are differences on the cd. According to the experts here hiphop brought the best results. Im pretty surprised by the results my guess is that the constant beats and intensity of hip hop has some kind of effect on the cheese as it ripens the stuff across in the case that provoked all of this what do the other judges think. I felt that the rock music cheese tasted bess i guess because it was strongest it had a rocknroll flavor and one clef dixie that he was on its a hip hop cheese its very soft and slightly sweet and just fancies. The employer is happy that the hip hop cheese got such rave reviews tying his product to the musical genre could make the Younger Generation interested. Doesnt there are many young people out there whove never given a 2nd thought to emin taler hard cheese unpasteurised cheese things like that and on the sets which is why i labels like hip hop or techno emon taler could prove a hit. Of live is now checking for measurable differences in the different cheeses. And lets not forget a traditional form of singing from the region who knows maybe one day lemon tell you a Little Cheese will be the next big thing.
