Many germany was their preferred destination and initially they were welcomed with open arms with chancellor Angela Merkel famously proclaiming her mantra this isnt us its happened we can manage it so 1st there was euphoria but then came harsh reality. Now the Largest Group of refugees making their perilous journey to germany and other European Countries were syrians desperate to get away from the murderous civil war in their country they included the superman family who we met up with 5 years ago as they headed for berlin and the question is now how are they fared since then. Oh its just after 6 am that the silly mans day has already begun we brush your teeth and. You know yet.

Im dealing with this school and daycare is a full time job for mustafa and here they help their children day and night integrate into their new environment for the next year it was but. That requires great fortitude after all theyve been through. Back in 2015 mustafa saleman was in turkey preparing his children for the perilous journey across the mediterranean in a rubber dinghy weeks later the family reached germany via the balkan route their odyssey was captured in a documentary. Coming. Out the war and their flight from it inflicted wounds that have yet to heal most of us with a man was injured by a bomb hes lived in fear ever since and is now undergoing therapy. You know mr silliman these come with me. Have a seat. Today your appointment is with me as your regular doctor is on holiday is that ok. This is ok no problem. Mustafas mother died in syria 2 weeks ago hes haunted by the fact he couldnt be there with her. She was very ill. And then she was taken to hospital. I tried to speak with her but she could no longer talk and didnt recognize me anymore and. You know my daughter for me well actually. Hes very close to his family in syria is father died when mustafa was just 14 so as the eldest child he assumed responsibility early on when his mother raised 9 children on her own. And she must have been a strong woman. A very strong woman very strong. This is her sam sifton this is from india and you have experienced a lot of terrible things and borne a lot of pain. But i think youre doing well now to sound keep looking to the future and concentrating on yourself and your children i think. You can be proud of yourself. Mostafa is still having a hard time finding his place in germany many of the syrians he knows here have jobs or started their own businesses like 109 now who runs the branch of a restaurant. But it takes time to develop something called our restaurant is now very well known and has a good reputation ask anyone and theyll tell you wow the police is great and its going well so yes its known for its good for cleanliness im good services. 500. Mustafa hopes to find work soon too but he needs to improve his german 1st his children found it easier to learn the language and berlin is now their home. And he was going to leave. Jude wants to become an engineer in berlin but also help to reconstruct the familys house in syria less would have fun it was hit by a missile. So i want to help repair it. But have taken on the way you want to love me. I love you i love you all. Well theres no doubt about it the summer of 2015 brought huge changes to germany and the rest of your hundreds of thousands of desperate people were heading for a prosperous Northern Europe about to turn problems or to grow. A number of countries to try and curb the migrant flow by building border fence what was called the southern balkan ruth also for instance passed through croatia and slovenia and slovenia joined the countries putting up those barriers and as we find out now it was a decision that has continued to poison relations between the 2 neighbors. The 1st grapes are almost ripe so the harvest can begin. It seems like its going to be a good year for mark and page of each. He has about 5 hectares of vineyards in the whites carney all a region on the border between slovenia and collation. Both a 3rd of them line in croatia this area is on the socalled balkan routes used by migrants the slovenian authorities are planning to build a further border fence here. I hope that it would happen to be english lots as it would go straight through my vineyards in japan all theyve talked about it again is since the borders zigzags here. It would be really quite difficult to build these its. Just a few kilometers away a fence has already been built along the river called. Slovenia has already closed off over 200 kilometers a 3rd of the border with croatia is sealed. Police patrol the fence several times daily as a deterrent. And i meant by he is also to warn people coming into our country illegally market at the areas where they are trying to do it are dangerous but it will be in their voting as a need. However refugees continue to arrive but not as many as 5 years ago at the height of the refugee crisis this year there have been about 1000 illegal crossings in this area. The police use Surveillance Drones day and night to track down illegal activity. The police say but the majority of refugees are helped by human smugglers you know ghost of the Illegal Migrants are from afghanistan morocco tunisia algeria bangladesh and pakistan their pockets on. The mets leka a small town on the border locals are divided about the border fence. That its all here and there arent so many its a kind of protection. Is it doesnt keep refugees and i could. Go to syria they are its good that its there in one way but its also not because of tourism it is the view that they go by the by the mothers martin linda church who runs a company site a few kilometers up river says tourism is suffering. He and his wife and drea organize canoe trips on the river culpa. But now the view along much of the route is spoiled by the fence. He says they sometimes have to wait for hours before the police open a gate for them we thought we need to which given of course its not like it was its a problem this shouldnt be a fence here in this landscape to square deal or to its hard if were talking about tourism squared to have barbed wire like in a concentration camp. Everyone who calls asks about the fence and the migrants. Brush where the sheets or cries me get on. The cult of valley used to be unspoiled area very popular with holiday makers. They came to go hiking cycling and canoeing a place where you could relax these days its not quite the same. Dont you know a man who its not normal to build a fence like this in such a Natural Environment its mad theres something wrong and you can orbit you more of the elements in this untouched landscape on on that it on that is if that will rescue europe you know dolly adopted it was dollar double duty if she were to open. Another border in europe the 1st of its kind in this region the government says that the fence is only temporary but that is something nobody in kulpa valley really believes. Now since the beginning of the war in Eastern Ukraine between Government Forces and russian backed separatists in 2014 detainees have been subjected to systematic torture some of the abuses allegedly taken place in a secret prison in the eastern city of donetsk cold. And the ukrainian journalist stanislav assaf is among those whove suffered terribly in that building so just let me warn you that many details of his story are profoundly disturbing. Street of the illuminated way number 3 this is the address of your lets see a burning bush isolation. Once insulation material was produced here since the beginning of the war in 2014 pro russian separatists allegedly detain and torture people here. Neither the red cross nor any other International Aid organizations have regular access only testimonies from former prisoners remain. And then theres a lot that will be heard if there is a lets see it was drug and the issue of you went through all the cells of both male and female cells. You Peter Bradley won and he beat me up to ships in the chicago muslim like for 2 years journalist and have reported undercover from separatist territory for the ukrainian media until 2017 when his cover was blown and he ended up in the as a lets see if this theme of im going to see the procedure is the same for everyone a seller from metal table in that they remove peoples clothes then tie them tightly to the table with it he said tape which and then the electrodes are applied usually one wires attached to the genitals a 2nd electrode can be inserted into the anus because this is the cruelest part we all heard the screams but what they could even tell from the scream was where the wires were placed over the air theres no convinced that his fame and a campaign by his supporters saved him from an even worse fate but he was well aware of what was happening in the prison the suffering of his fellow inmates left its mark. The guards didnt hear that he would be able to tell the world about it later one testimony shocked even experienced witnesses of the conflict. And of the doctors always present during torture and also takes part in it either he had ministers in objection of circulation stops my supplies smelling salts if the president has lost consciousness or doctor is not only present he also. To suppose its the torture other than that says stanislav as the doctor was never seen it was only the cell me who to care for the sick and exhausted torture victims as i have remembers his fellow prisoner a lady much you sink who in particular. Well you know what i should be valerie was beaten up before our eyes with him because they dragged him out into the corridor like a concrete sheet we heard him scream thats how you scream after electric shocks issue if you dont confuse them easily then they brought him back to the cellar but when you fail broken his ribs and you think you could neither sits for stand with the morphine so i was an exception they let him lie in the bunk bed during the day. Just like. It was transferred from these were last year to an official Remand Prison in autumn 2019 after more than 2 years shortly afterwards he was found guilty of extremism and espionage for ukraine he was sentenced to 15 years in prison. Then a few weeks later just before new years eve he was freed as part of a Prisoner Exchange between the Ukrainian Government and the separatists. Allegations are supported by those of other prisoners the un has also reported the systematic use of beatings electric shocks Sexual Violence and said that there was a continuum of torture and abuse in the detention facility. The so called human rights officer of the pro russian separatists in donetsk refused to comment on the allegations he did not answer our questions. The fact that the. N. G. C. A wont provide regular access to prisons to the i. C. R. C. Or to the un or its other you know authoritative institutions means that the onus is on them the burden is on them to prove that these allegations are false when they dont provide access means that they have something to hide. Before the coronavirus pandemic tens of thousands of people used to cross between the government and separatist controlled areas at the your check point. Today this is a close as valerie met you. Can get to him. Then and you saw it last i live in hope. That this conflict will soon be over and everything will be like before we have the before we move that ill get my husband back and my son will be able to hug his father. But it will never be like before so consciously avoided. Rematches shinku was kidnapped in the separatist controlled area in july 2017 his wife says that he had never made any bones about his pru you korean stands it to her mums to find out what has happened to him. On top of all was that i was immediately taken to the easel last year but he was in such a bad state that the other prisoners thought that he would die but then the abuse started well ive been told that the prisoners were forced to sing with separatist him at gunpoint or beat each other out if i dropped all the. News that her husband is no longer in the its a lot see a detention facility is reportedly still in bad health but the separatists refused to release or exchange them for another prisoner she thinks only foreign pressure would help but this has not been forthcoming. As you know this is the 21st century in europe is just watching on silently but there is no reaction European International organizations arent doing anything to close these torture chambers or schools or communities. How is that possible its terrible because we still talk. And its important to point out that Rights Groups say there have been similarly shocking abuses on both sides to this better conflict. Now on a very different note london has long had one of the most profit hungry real estate markets in the world but the corona pandemic has changed all that persuading many londoners to skip the commute avoid downtown and work from home so can you believe it swathes of prime office space a standing empty. Many people can only dream of working in an Office Building like this. James brincat is one of the lucky ones. This company trains Bank Employees in this line of work having an office in a prestigious building is seen as an important start a simple. But since the coronavirus pandemic thats not so important to him anymore. As time went by everybody started to really enjoy themselves productivity was just as good and we continue to flourish so everybody was very comfortable with system for us to to move out of london permanently. That saves them a lot of money some which but at the end of the month you can register 15 percent more profit working without an office is a totally new business model. And one thats here to stay provided his 50 employees can cope take on your ocarroll who is no sitting at her dining table like most of the staff she lives outside of london now bring cats only sees her during the video conferences. On yoko mills save some 550. 00 euros a month on train tickets she no longer needs to travel into london to work. I definitely like the lack of commute. She still sees her colleagues every day just not in person so thats one disadvantage. The best approach is to have the majority of the time working from home but then have. I have the option to go into the office maybe once a week maybe twice a week pending if people need need to go in or not its also important to keep the kind of social interactions to boost morale some are heralding a real estate revolution one thats being especially felt by people who are earning money with real estate at the shard londons tallest building. Agency is trying to rent office space this modern office costs 15000. 00 euros a month. I dont think its a crisis so i think theres a correction in the market a slight reduction in the amount of space required but the key point is what but space is useful its no longer going to be about rosa or upon row of best people processing email because we know we know we can do that in effect of way so actually its about using the office space to bring people together to collaborate to educate them whether thats formally or informally but a radical change in peoples working lives is evident 9 percent of businesses in london have now given up their offices entirely change is exciting and it gives people more opportunity to have a better Work Life Balance weve been talking about that long enough that we still have people coming in an hour on the tube into the center of law by not oclock in the evening leaving at 5 oclock with the other half 1000000 people who come in and out of the square while thats not Work Life Balance this is giving us an opportunity of really addressing i think its tremendous the elliott is trying to book this trend stressing the benefits of having an office he says it offers something working from home country place. Spaces that really invigorating Staff Support their staff in their well being and in their creativity so spaces like this at the very highest end of quality still many businesses are taking a different tack and calling the very valuable offices into question. Changes definitely in the air in londons working well. Hold. Now strange things happen at high altitudes heads get dizzy in the shadow of the legendary matter a whole mountain that lies between switzerland and italy in the alps one country gets bigger another recedes they take away your past and offer you something called rusty instead what is going on well its a border dispute with a common every dimension and the only thing that certain is that this man lucho cracow is close to despair. Its all about rocks rubble and ice and a mountain rescue. The true true cool runs the refugio good to chill of you know its located in italy up until now anyway because Climate Change has shifted the National Border in favor of the swiss and as a result swiss italian relations have turned frosty up here in the mountains. So convoluted according to the swiss you know the border runs right through here a bit but a part of this would be the very small italian particularly on this side would be the swiss part with our guests the Cash Register on the left are so bar. The border has moved to cool cannot believe. In a d. C. For the mountain refuge was clearly built on italian soil. It was common sense tells you that it has not ruled out the romans neither has the mater horn meant and its a passion why our way of life i pity those who want to her nervous i learned this from the swiss office of typography carried out the new survey the borders have shifted because the
