Seconds a white Police Officer pressed his knee on floyds nick the death of a black man at the hands of a white officer has caused an opera or not just in the u. S. Tens of thousands of protesters are taking to the streets in european cities like 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 amal going to unsee 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 amine was shot by a policeman. Ever. So a mall is happy that finally people in france are protesting against racism in the police force this is the fam family and we felt alone confronted with the system most oppresses us and kill zone for those and when they kill over others they also kill posts of us i think you. Mean but truth is you grew 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 you cant do 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. To do so because of his tragic fate. Amol gave up her job began studying law and found it in an issue 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.

Like everyone here has had bad experiences with the cops shooting them during. The week or this was the last time i was inspected they insulted me like i was about their own. Fishy this isnt funny. Im shut up with the insults dominican boy do different she had enough of feeling like a victim of the multiple support of the i want the problem to be solved the problem so i get. Police brutality against people of color is no isolated phenomenon in france says sociologist matthew goosed. The people of 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 wont really call them succeed often its a few to report this people dont talk about it and tell themselves 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. Now imo 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 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 to spread rapidly like a good 19 in fact many romanians are now blaming the role for the spread of the corona virus we visited the small town of too good to see how the roma are getting by in these difficult times. This is a roma neighborhood on the outskirts of terrigal morass. It was temporarily guarded by remaining police apparently to stop them spreading coronavirus to the city. Maria correct works for a humanitarian organization which is one of the few people who come here to hand out groceries to poor roma family and. Thats the take not your home ok. On the i wish you close children are hungry to you. On leave now with me to get 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 who sometimes we dont know who will get food and who wont we get it like you know here. I get some eggs and peters 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. Oh a little money we owe residents and other neighborhoods were allowed to move about freely. But here the army and police imposed a total lockdown but. 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 you are used to that but what about the fact that only people with traditional roman names were on the list creates the impression that only 30 are infected and ill 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 oath or its meanings. Aside from containing the pandemic romanian authorities seem to neglect the roman neighborhood. Garbage is rarely collected and the sanitary situation is catastrophic oh my god will she be grieved the city council should take responsibility it was 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 grammar. 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 know when i look around 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. About the 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 could i dont know what the problem is that i meant thank god im not im affected id like to work but i cant find a job or. The Roma Community has faced even more hostility in light of the pandemic that i could be in vocal got to get anybody looking for scapegoats and then no longer willing to tolerate things they used to tolerate. Roma 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 what 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. Romania and the would be welcome guest in the u. K. Of the moment since they make up a large portion of Seasonal Workers there thats because of the corona Virus Outbreak travel between the u. K. And draw mania 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 campaign 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 Current Crisis its also a Training Exercise for brakes that when Eastern European workers might be in just a short supply and british firms as they are now as one of the brics are 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 and 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. He said to with his new recruits into shape they think its a bit of a holiday its a bit of a 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 pick my crop if im not going to make any money are they so im going to break even theres no point in being here since 10 is british helpers have gotten down to work but through illusions 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 i think while we where we learn because youve got to really be 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 remain 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 armenian and bulgarian people are they just more working really not through really. Talking just just be walking now its have a have a happy dream and everybodys happy. Its going 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 but then Important Role is newsnight theres no doubt about it without without those but for labor then theres going to be a shortage of its way across the u. K. The farmers plates isnt much of a concern in london right now. Though the corona crisis has hampered british negotiations Boris Johnsons government refuses to extend the transition period if you think lets 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 that thats because most members of johnsons cabinets are brags that 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 so fervently supported gregs it they say this is a lot by people who never want to start with any extension a day is a plot by the remains you must not extend. Marks or a good knows this all too well but hopes the content think will provoke a change of heart. And i hope the British Public this year and i hope the same for the german guys. They realise that we need to follow. And push on a bit more respect. Make them realise that we do need to be here they do need to do provide a Vital Service to the economy. Still if the e. U. Dont reach a deal markets are good 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 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 remains strained we visited the region to find out what this is all about. Lons used to fleece has his hands full in the Customs Museum in hob kishan on germanys border with france a retired customs officer is a volunteer curator of the exhibition in the old porter 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 growth does not even 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 well never have believed that this would happen again just a few go 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 want to really hurt. People its not our fault everyone knows it comes from china. So if we could just as easily have been the germans who got it worse. Its not our fault that hurt me but im. The mayor of the german border town of jazz haim also has french roots as his name suggests. 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 frankl german friendship was being put to the test. The crisis has shown that this friendship may not be as stable as we imagined 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 but the you off to go. Please all publicly criticize the behavior of his fellow silent and now faces criticism himself never seriously accuse the fake news here because many didnt want what i 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. I think hemant is experiencing the friendship crisis from the french side he worries that the german reaction could leave scars. If you its created a climate of distrust. In a way our history has caught up with us again. Extremism suddenly comes out in one way or another. The same thing 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 lenders from the french then of course people take that into consideration. 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 kitchen new meaning please the former customs officer would like it to be put back in its old place. I mean for intro your 1st well you cant break a friendship a strong is that between germany and france that has grown over decades with nonsense like this one question a couple on 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 front god 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 poland is 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 off 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. Like him i never knew someone like that lived here and stuff that he must love poland if he moved here at his age. Yes. Arnold lie so there is originally from the german city of hanover and recently celebrated his 109th birthday. He lived through both world wars and has a past connection to poland because of his brother. My
