[00:00:04] Here you will find magnificent mountains and pleasant Bavarian
[00:00:07] towns. There is also one of the most beautiful
[00:00:11] mountain lakes in
[00:00:12] Germany,
[00:00:15] but in the midst of this alpine idyll in Hitler's Berghof
[00:00:18] on Obersalzberg, horrific
[00:00:22] crimes were planned.
[00:00:26] We begin our journey in the town that gave the entire region its name.
[00:00:30] Berchtesgaden.
[00:00:30] Gadenu.
[00:00:35] Rich salt deposits brought wealth and
[00:00:38] prosperity
[00:00:39] to the town and its inhabitants.
[00:00:44] Its idyllic location in the Alps also contributed to this, so word about
[00:00:48] this place spread quickly. Initially, Bavarian
[00:00:52] kings came here in the summer. Later, the place was
[00:00:55] popular among scientists, industrialists, artists, and even
[00:00:59] Nazis. Who comes today? Tourists like
[00:01:02] me. Lake Königsee is considered a gem of the German
[00:01:06] Alps.
[00:01:13] Steep cliffs descend almost vertically into the water. That's why there are no roads or hiking
[00:01:17] trails around the lake. You can
[00:01:20] only explore it by boat.
[00:01:24] The main attraction of every tour is the famous echo
[00:01:28] wall.
[00:01:38] A warning, an appeal, at
[00:01:52] My next destination is Obersalzberg near
[00:01:56] Berchtesgaden, where there is now dense forest. 100
[00:01:59] years ago, there were several farms and guesthouses. Here,
[00:02:03] the Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler loved to spend his holidays,
[00:02:06] first in a small country house, later in the spacious
[00:02:09] Berghof.
[00:02:16] The Berghof was strictly closed to the public, as it became Hitler's second
[00:02:19] seat of power
[00:02:22] alongside Berlin.
[00:02:24] Hitler did not only rest on Obersalzberg; he spent a quarter
[00:02:27] of his reign here.
[00:02:31] Every family has someone who works at In the Berghof, he received high-ranking guests and state officials.
[00:02:34] Here, political and military decisions were made about persecution, war,
[00:02:38] and genocide. After the war, the estate was
[00:02:42] blown up. Today, very little remains of
[00:02:45] Hitler's Berghof.
[00:02:48] Only these retaining
[00:02:50] walls have been preserved.
[00:02:52] Today, only a few tourists come here. The spot where they
[00:02:56] are taking photos was once the large terrace of the Berghof.
[00:03:02] Hitler's mistress, Eva Braun, filmed these scenes with her small
[00:03:06] movie camera. These are images of a deceptive
[00:03:10] idyll.
[00:03:17] Hitler last stayed at the Berghof in
[00:03:20] 1944. In April 1945,
[00:03:24] the Allies bombed the complex, and its ruins were
[00:03:27] blown up in '52. After the war, silence
[00:03:30] reigned on Obersalzberg. Only
[00:03:32] in 1999
[00:03:35] was a documentation center established a few hundred meters from the former
[00:03:38] Berghof. The interest of visitors from all over
[00:03:42] the world was so great that the center had to be renovated and expanded.
[00:03:46] It reopened on the 23rd with a new
[00:03:48] concept.
[00:03:54] What do visitors take away as a lesson from the documentation
[00:03:57] center? When we see
[00:04:01] someone being treated unjustly, we must immediately raise our voices, because if we don't speak up
[00:04:04] in time, it can happen to us later.
[00:04:08] It's unimaginable that one man could have conceived such a
[00:04:11] thing, of course with the help of others, and that it then
[00:04:15] led to such destruction and such
[00:04:17] brutality.
[00:04:20] You realize how powerful Hitler was and everything he managed to implement while
[00:04:24] he was in power. All of this is truly interesting,
[00:04:27] full of information, extremely... educational.
[00:04:41] I don't think I exaggerated at the beginning; there are few places in the
[00:04:44] world where idyllic beauty and a terrible past merge so impressively
[00:04:48] as in the Berchtesgaden
[00:04:51] area.
[00:15:31] Worrying crisis at Volkswagen, slavery in
[00:15:35] Europe, problems of Roma in Greece.
[00:15:48] Good day to you. Germany has been in crisis for a long time. The symbol of this
[00:15:52] crisis is the former symbol of success and strength:
[00:15:55] Volkswagen. The news coming from this German automotive
[00:15:59] giant is one after another, getting worse.
[00:16:02] The latest came before the summer holidays. There is talk
[00:16:05] of eliminating about one hundred thousand
[00:16:07] jobs and even the possible closure of four production
[00:16:10] sites. Among them is one of
[00:16:13] Volkswagen's most modern production facilities, the one
[00:16:16] in the East German city of Zwickau. The closure
[00:16:19] of the factory would jeopardize the entire region. Therefore, the local
[00:16:23] residents and authorities are announcing a decisive fight against Volkswagen's
[00:16:27] plans.
[00:16:30] People are angry, disappointed, and desperate. Employees
[00:16:34] of Volkswagen in Zwickau in Saxony'.
[00:17:08] The whole region depends on it, we have suppliers here, we're talking about
[00:17:11] easily several thousand jobs, and
[00:17:14] also the small baker, the butcher, the retail, everything depends
[00:17:17] on it, if people simply don't earn as much money anymore,
[00:17:20] Baker Heiko Reinhold knows well
[00:17:23] that in his bakery, most of the work is during shift changes at
[00:17:27] the factory. Reinhold runs a small bakery with his wife,
[00:17:31] already in the third generation. Many
[00:17:34] customers they serve work at Volkswagen, when on...
[00:18:09] the factory.
[00:18:15] I have no idea how this will continue, the teacher started last year at
[00:18:19] VW, as
[00:18:22] a mechatronics engineer.
[00:18:25] The uncertainty among people is felt in the Zwickau
[00:18:28] city hall.
[00:18:31] Consumer behavior shows that people who are afraid of losing their jobs may not shop as much
[00:18:35] anymore, they don't go to
[00:18:37] restaurants anymore, because they simply save their money, we also notice that in the construction sector,
[00:18:41] when people no longer invest in residential properties or perhaps
[00:18:44] also in the commercial sector. Despite this, they want to
[00:18:48] fight here, says the deputy mayor. For
[00:18:51] every job, if Volkswagen really implements its
[00:18:55] plans. The scenario looks
[00:18:58] like this: there is a shortage of labor on the market, which leads to a search for
[00:19:02] workers, most often abroad. On one side are brokers
[00:19:06] who seek workers for their own gain, on the other are those who
[00:19:09] want a job. Brokers then find a job, help with
[00:19:13] obtaining visas, and you happily think that all you need
[00:19:17] to do is diligently perform your job.
[00:19:20] However, the moment you invoke your contractual
[00:19:24] rights, harassment, threats, and abuse begin from the very people
[00:19:27] who helped you. Those
[00:19:31] who gather the strength to resist pay a high
[00:19:34] price. Some have paid with their
[00:19:38] lives, as in this example from the Italian
[00:19:41] fields. These terrible images shocked
[00:19:45] Italy. In June, four foreign agricultural workers burned
[00:19:48] at a gas station. They were locked in the vehicle and had
[00:19:52] no chance of
[00:19:53] survival.
[00:20:01] What they find is this, this cruelty, this
[00:20:05] cruelty.
[00:20:08] The four workers were allegedly killed by criminal intermediaries because they
[00:20:11] protested against their working conditions. This event drew
[00:20:15] attention to the exploitation of agricultural workers
[00:20:18] and the networks behind it.
[00:20:22] We are in Southern Italy, on the Ionian coast between Calabria
[00:20:25] and the Basilicata region. Strawberries, peaches, apricots, melons,
[00:20:29] and kiwis are grown in this fertile area and exported throughout
[00:20:32] Europe. The four murdered agricultural workers also worked
[00:20:36] here. The agreement was that they would be paid 45 euros
[00:20:39] a day for eight hours of work. They received their last
[00:20:43] payment in April. We meet with Gervasio
[00:20:45] Mangolo, a farmer and founder of an association that aims
[00:20:49] to raise awareness about worker exploitation. With him, we
[00:20:52] return to the place where the four men
[00:20:55] died. This place today
[00:20:58] represents what agriculture is in Italy, in
[00:21:01] Europe, it doesn't matter if they are Pakistanis,
[00:21:04] Afghans, Bangladeshis, Africans, this
[00:21:08] is what we see every year in our countryside,
[00:21:11] there is very little desire to reflect on the true
[00:21:15] causes of these of these
[00:21:18] tragedies.
[00:21:20] It is estimated that at least 200,000 people in Italy alone work
[00:21:23] in discriminatory and slave-like conditions, like the four victims from
[00:21:27] Amendolara.
[00:21:30] But the problem starts with the settlement. Many seasonal
[00:21:33] agricultural workers come to Italy with a valid visa, to work for
[00:21:37] companies that then turn out to either not exist or
[00:21:41] disappear.
[00:21:43] And so they often become prisoners of brokers in finding
[00:21:46] work.
[00:21:49] Union members Federica Pietramala and Alessandro Dicalo
[00:21:52] are trying to free workers from such employment relationships. Like this
[00:21:56] group of Nepalese agricultural workers who worked in the same
[00:21:59] environment as the four murdered men from
[00:22:02] Amendolara, for the same criminal
[00:22:05] intermediaries.
[00:22:07] They reported it, so now they have also been included in a
[00:22:11] protection and assistance project, both
[00:22:14] regarding the residence permit and also regarding
[00:22:17] the... Mass: Never
[00:22:21] again slavery. This sentence now stands at the gas station in
[00:22:25] Amendolara.
[00:22:28] the place where four people were burned
[00:22:31] alive.
[00:22:37] Poverty, lack of education, life in special
[00:22:41] settlements, isolation, and thus non-integration into society
[00:22:44] and culture. That is what characterizes the lives of Roma in
[00:22:47] Greece. But how to solve this problem? Greek authorities
[00:22:51] hope that a greater police presence could contribute
[00:22:54] to greater safety in Roma settlements and thus improve the situation
[00:22:58] there. But the Roma see this precisely
[00:23:01] as a sign of distrust
[00:23:03] and racism.
[00:23:05] Zefyri is a Roma settlement in northern Athens, where over
[00:23:09] 10,000 people live. It is characterized by high
[00:23:12] unemployment and low levels of education. The crime
[00:23:16] rate is high. Some people
[00:23:19] call Roma settlements ghettos, claiming that it is not
[00:23:22] safe to go there alone, especially at night. The police want to
[00:23:26] improve security by introducing patrols that work 24
[00:23:29] hours a day.
[00:23:40] The police try to be clearly visible, using large
[00:23:43] vehicles that no one else in this area drives. Uniforms
[00:23:47] and weapons are visible. According to data from
[00:23:51] 2024,
[00:23:53] Roma are involved in a greater number of criminal acts than other
[00:23:56] residents. According to these data, they are responsible for
[00:23:59] 58% of burglaries and thefts in
[00:24:02] Athens. According to official statistics, just under
[00:24:05] 120,000 Roma live in Greece,
[00:24:09] but the actual number could be significantly higher. As a
[00:24:12] marginalized minority, they are generally not sufficiently integrated
[00:24:16] into Greek culture and society.
[00:24:20] Most residents do not want to be filmed. Many people in
[00:24:23] Zefyri are against filming their houses.
[00:24:26] Stigmatization is obvious. Many Greeks believe that if a Roma
[00:24:30] lives in a nice house, not in a shack, it must mean that
[00:24:33] he is a criminal. An older woman is ready to
[00:24:37] talk. She doesn't want her face to be seen on camera, but
[00:24:40] she allows us to film the interior of her home. She has a clear
[00:24:44] opinion about the new regular police
[00:24:46] patrols.
[00:25:22] The idea is to recruit members of the Roma community
[00:25:25] for police patrols in all services, in decision-making
[00:25:28] centers, to have Greek Roma
[00:25:31] within various services, so that they can
[00:25:34] facilitate and serve
[00:25:37] people, and we do not want criminality, neither theft, nor
[00:25:41] fraud, nor drugs.
[00:25:45] recruit members of the Roma community for police patrols
[00:25:49] as a step towards integration, but it has not
[00:25:52] yet been realized, and the police are still focused on Roma
[00:25:56] settlements.
[00:25:59] Meanwhile, a police patrol is on an evening tour of the settlement.
[00:26:03] Even the police themselves were surprised by the picture of life in Roma settlements.
[00:26:18] The policewoman says that some residents are also starting to develop
[00:26:21] trust in this predominantly young police
[00:26:25] unit. Who among us will keep
[00:26:28] their job in the age of artificial intelligence? The answer to
[00:26:32] this question is not even dared by the best experts in this
[00:26:36] field. And while on one hand numerous professions are
[00:26:39] threatened, in skilled trades there is still a shortage
[00:26:43] of workers. In Germany, for years, they have been
[00:26:46] unsuccessfully trying to make such professions
[00:26:49] more attractive to young people. Here is one example
[00:26:52] of how it is still possible.
[00:26:55] Marlon spends a year gaining practical craft
[00:26:58] experience. Today, this 20-year-old is installing
[00:27:02] an electrical line for a new charging station for car
[00:27:05] batteries. This is part of the voluntary craft year program at the company
[00:27:09] Electro Breitling. Young people are given the opportunity to try out
[00:27:12] different vocational professions. During the year, they will
[00:27:15] go through four areas, from IT technician to
[00:27:18] system
[00:27:19] planner.
[00:27:26] Rather into crafts, and then I just wanted to get a taste of it, what's it like, do I even enjoy it,
[00:27:29] is it maybe actually? This allows him to learn quickly
[00:27:42] through practical work. This is precisely what motivates participants in the voluntary
[00:27:46] craft year, says master electrician Jonas
[00:27:50] Gentner. He is Marlon's mentor during
[00:27:53] the three months of work in the field of energy and
[00:27:56] construction.
[00:27:57] is, you also get into completely different
[00:28:02] working relationships, and yes, you talk more, you, you
[00:28:06] do more together, and then it always works better, of course, if you can teach him more
[00:28:09] and if you know that you can trust him, you can also give him more
[00:28:13] responsibility and let him do more, even alone.
[00:28:17] The opportunity to try out different trades without the obligation
[00:28:20] to immediately start a three-year vocational training attracts
[00:28:24] many young people. Also attractive is the earning of 2.0 euros
[00:28:28] per month for a year of practical experience.
[00:28:31] Instructor Kohl says that it is money well
[00:28:35] spent because when participants once begin full
[00:28:38] vocational training, they almost never drop out.
[00:28:42] The one who wants to do the job,
[00:28:48] who feels called to crafts, who
[00:28:52] has a passion for crafts, he wants to,
[00:28:56] this one-year program was launched by
[00:29:00] the director. a push towards academization, but
[00:29:10] also a high dropout rate among
[00:29:13] academics, and there is simply a need for something where you
[00:29:17] can offer people a perspective, where they can try themselves out
[00:29:20] to gain experience, and also, well, to
[00:29:23] find out for themselves whether crafts,
[00:29:27] if academia is not for them, whether crafts are for me.
[00:29:31] option Marlon Ritter now knows which
[00:29:34] profession suits him. After completing the one-year
[00:29:38] program, he will train as an electrician.
[00:29:41] electrical engineering technician for energy and civil
[00:29:44] engineering.
[00:29:48] This was a brief overview of events in Europe, which
[00:29:52] faces numerous challenges. You can
[00:29:55] get more information about them, and many other topics, on our
[00:29:58] online platform and YouTube channel. See you.
[00:30:37] Good evening, dear viewers, welcome to
[00:30:39] the news.
[00:30:44] There is no end in sight to the deep crisis in the BH industry. Miners from the
[00:30:48] Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina have announced a protest in Sarajevo on Friday,
[00:30:51] their salaries are late, and debts are piling up. At the same time,
[00:30:55] 1.5 workers of the new steelworks
[00:30:58] fear bankruptcy.
