00:00:04Here you will find magnificent mountains and pleasant Bavarian
00:00:07towns. There is also one of the most beautiful
00:00:11mountain lakes in
00:00:12Germany,
00:00:15but in the midst of this alpine idyll in Hitler's Berghof
00:00:18on Obersalzberg, horrific
00:00:22crimes were planned.
00:00:26We begin our journey in the town that gave the entire region its name.
00:00:30Berchtesgaden.
00:00:30Gadenu.
00:00:35Rich salt deposits brought wealth and
00:00:38prosperity
00:00:39to the town and its inhabitants.
00:00:44Its idyllic location in the Alps also contributed to this, so word about
00:00:48this place spread quickly. Initially, Bavarian
00:00:52kings came here in the summer. Later, the place was
00:00:55popular among scientists, industrialists, artists, and even
00:00:59Nazis. Who comes today? Tourists like
00:01:02me. Lake Königsee is considered a gem of the German
00:01:06Alps.
00:01:13Steep cliffs descend almost vertically into the water. That's why there are no roads or hiking
00:01:17trails around the lake. You can
00:01:20only explore it by boat.
00:01:24The main attraction of every tour is the famous echo
00:01:28wall.
00:01:38A warning, an appeal, at
00:01:52My next destination is Obersalzberg near
00:01:56Berchtesgaden, where there is now dense forest. 100
00:01:59years ago, there were several farms and guesthouses. Here,
00:02:03the Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler loved to spend his holidays,
00:02:06first in a small country house, later in the spacious
00:02:09Berghof.
00:02:16The Berghof was strictly closed to the public, as it became Hitler's second
00:02:19seat of power
00:02:22alongside Berlin.
00:02:24Hitler did not only rest on Obersalzberg; he spent a quarter
00:02:27of his reign here.
00:02:31Every family has someone who works at In the Berghof, he received high-ranking guests and state officials.
00:02:34Here, political and military decisions were made about persecution, war,
00:02:38and genocide. After the war, the estate was
00:02:42blown up. Today, very little remains of
00:02:45Hitler's Berghof.
00:02:48Only these retaining
00:02:50walls have been preserved.
00:02:52Today, only a few tourists come here. The spot where they
00:02:56are taking photos was once the large terrace of the Berghof.
00:03:02Hitler's mistress, Eva Braun, filmed these scenes with her small
00:03:06movie camera. These are images of a deceptive
00:03:10idyll.
00:03:17Hitler last stayed at the Berghof in
00:03:201944. In April 1945,
00:03:24the Allies bombed the complex, and its ruins were
00:03:27blown up in '52. After the war, silence
00:03:30reigned on Obersalzberg. Only
00:03:32in 1999
00:03:35was a documentation center established a few hundred meters from the former
00:03:38Berghof. The interest of visitors from all over
00:03:42the world was so great that the center had to be renovated and expanded.
00:03:46It reopened on the 23rd with a new
00:03:48concept.
00:03:54What do visitors take away as a lesson from the documentation
00:03:57center? When we see
00:04:01someone being treated unjustly, we must immediately raise our voices, because if we don't speak up
00:04:04in time, it can happen to us later.
00:04:08It's unimaginable that one man could have conceived such a
00:04:11thing, of course with the help of others, and that it then
00:04:15led to such destruction and such
00:04:17brutality.
00:04:20You realize how powerful Hitler was and everything he managed to implement while
00:04:24he was in power. All of this is truly interesting,
00:04:27full of information, extremely... educational.
00:04:41I don't think I exaggerated at the beginning; there are few places in the
00:04:44world where idyllic beauty and a terrible past merge so impressively
00:04:48as in the Berchtesgaden
00:04:51area.
00:15:31Worrying crisis at Volkswagen, slavery in
00:15:35Europe, problems of Roma in Greece.
00:15:48Good day to you. Germany has been in crisis for a long time. The symbol of this
00:15:52crisis is the former symbol of success and strength:
00:15:55Volkswagen. The news coming from this German automotive
00:15:59giant is one after another, getting worse.
00:16:02The latest came before the summer holidays. There is talk
00:16:05of eliminating about one hundred thousand
00:16:07jobs and even the possible closure of four production
00:16:10sites. Among them is one of
00:16:13Volkswagen's most modern production facilities, the one
00:16:16in the East German city of Zwickau. The closure
00:16:19of the factory would jeopardize the entire region. Therefore, the local
00:16:23residents and authorities are announcing a decisive fight against Volkswagen's
00:16:27plans.
00:16:30People are angry, disappointed, and desperate. Employees
00:16:34of Volkswagen in Zwickau in Saxony'.
00:17:08The whole region depends on it, we have suppliers here, we're talking about
00:17:11easily several thousand jobs, and
00:17:14also the small baker, the butcher, the retail, everything depends
00:17:17on it, if people simply don't earn as much money anymore,
00:17:20Baker Heiko Reinhold knows well
00:17:23that in his bakery, most of the work is during shift changes at
00:17:27the factory. Reinhold runs a small bakery with his wife,
00:17:31already in the third generation. Many
00:17:34customers they serve work at Volkswagen, when on...
00:18:09the factory.
00:18:15I have no idea how this will continue, the teacher started last year at
00:18:19VW, as
00:18:22a mechatronics engineer.
00:18:25The uncertainty among people is felt in the Zwickau
00:18:28city hall.
00:18:31Consumer behavior shows that people who are afraid of losing their jobs may not shop as much
00:18:35anymore, they don't go to
00:18:37restaurants anymore, because they simply save their money, we also notice that in the construction sector,
00:18:41when people no longer invest in residential properties or perhaps
00:18:44also in the commercial sector. Despite this, they want to
00:18:48fight here, says the deputy mayor. For
00:18:51every job, if Volkswagen really implements its
00:18:55plans. The scenario looks
00:18:58like this: there is a shortage of labor on the market, which leads to a search for
00:19:02workers, most often abroad. On one side are brokers
00:19:06who seek workers for their own gain, on the other are those who
00:19:09want a job. Brokers then find a job, help with
00:19:13obtaining visas, and you happily think that all you need
00:19:17to do is diligently perform your job.
00:19:20However, the moment you invoke your contractual
00:19:24rights, harassment, threats, and abuse begin from the very people
00:19:27who helped you. Those
00:19:31who gather the strength to resist pay a high
00:19:34price. Some have paid with their
00:19:38lives, as in this example from the Italian
00:19:41fields. These terrible images shocked
00:19:45Italy. In June, four foreign agricultural workers burned
00:19:48at a gas station. They were locked in the vehicle and had
00:19:52no chance of
00:19:53survival.
00:20:01What they find is this, this cruelty, this
00:20:05cruelty.
00:20:08The four workers were allegedly killed by criminal intermediaries because they
00:20:11protested against their working conditions. This event drew
00:20:15attention to the exploitation of agricultural workers
00:20:18and the networks behind it.
00:20:22We are in Southern Italy, on the Ionian coast between Calabria
00:20:25and the Basilicata region. Strawberries, peaches, apricots, melons,
00:20:29and kiwis are grown in this fertile area and exported throughout
00:20:32Europe. The four murdered agricultural workers also worked
00:20:36here. The agreement was that they would be paid 45 euros
00:20:39a day for eight hours of work. They received their last
00:20:43payment in April. We meet with Gervasio
00:20:45Mangolo, a farmer and founder of an association that aims
00:20:49to raise awareness about worker exploitation. With him, we
00:20:52return to the place where the four men
00:20:55died. This place today
00:20:58represents what agriculture is in Italy, in
00:21:01Europe, it doesn't matter if they are Pakistanis,
00:21:04Afghans, Bangladeshis, Africans, this
00:21:08is what we see every year in our countryside,
00:21:11there is very little desire to reflect on the true
00:21:15causes of these of these
00:21:18tragedies.
00:21:20It is estimated that at least 200,000 people in Italy alone work
00:21:23in discriminatory and slave-like conditions, like the four victims from
00:21:27Amendolara.
00:21:30But the problem starts with the settlement. Many seasonal
00:21:33agricultural workers come to Italy with a valid visa, to work for
00:21:37companies that then turn out to either not exist or
00:21:41disappear.
00:21:43And so they often become prisoners of brokers in finding
00:21:46work.
00:21:49Union members Federica Pietramala and Alessandro Dicalo
00:21:52are trying to free workers from such employment relationships. Like this
00:21:56group of Nepalese agricultural workers who worked in the same
00:21:59environment as the four murdered men from
00:22:02Amendolara, for the same criminal
00:22:05intermediaries.
00:22:07They reported it, so now they have also been included in a
00:22:11protection and assistance project, both
00:22:14regarding the residence permit and also regarding
00:22:17the... Mass: Never
00:22:21again slavery. This sentence now stands at the gas station in
00:22:25Amendolara.
00:22:28the place where four people were burned
00:22:31alive.
00:22:37Poverty, lack of education, life in special
00:22:41settlements, isolation, and thus non-integration into society
00:22:44and culture. That is what characterizes the lives of Roma in
00:22:47Greece. But how to solve this problem? Greek authorities
00:22:51hope that a greater police presence could contribute
00:22:54to greater safety in Roma settlements and thus improve the situation
00:22:58there. But the Roma see this precisely
00:23:01as a sign of distrust
00:23:03and racism.
00:23:05Zefyri is a Roma settlement in northern Athens, where over
00:23:0910,000 people live. It is characterized by high
00:23:12unemployment and low levels of education. The crime
00:23:16rate is high. Some people
00:23:19call Roma settlements ghettos, claiming that it is not
00:23:22safe to go there alone, especially at night. The police want to
00:23:26improve security by introducing patrols that work 24
00:23:29hours a day.
00:23:40The police try to be clearly visible, using large
00:23:43vehicles that no one else in this area drives. Uniforms
00:23:47and weapons are visible. According to data from
00:23:512024,
00:23:53Roma are involved in a greater number of criminal acts than other
00:23:56residents. According to these data, they are responsible for
00:23:5958% of burglaries and thefts in
00:24:02Athens. According to official statistics, just under
00:24:05120,000 Roma live in Greece,
00:24:09but the actual number could be significantly higher. As a
00:24:12marginalized minority, they are generally not sufficiently integrated
00:24:16into Greek culture and society.
00:24:20Most residents do not want to be filmed. Many people in
00:24:23Zefyri are against filming their houses.
00:24:26Stigmatization is obvious. Many Greeks believe that if a Roma
00:24:30lives in a nice house, not in a shack, it must mean that
00:24:33he is a criminal. An older woman is ready to
00:24:37talk. She doesn't want her face to be seen on camera, but
00:24:40she allows us to film the interior of her home. She has a clear
00:24:44opinion about the new regular police
00:24:46patrols.
00:25:22The idea is to recruit members of the Roma community
00:25:25for police patrols in all services, in decision-making
00:25:28centers, to have Greek Roma
00:25:31within various services, so that they can
00:25:34facilitate and serve
00:25:37people, and we do not want criminality, neither theft, nor
00:25:41fraud, nor drugs.
00:25:45recruit members of the Roma community for police patrols
00:25:49as a step towards integration, but it has not
00:25:52yet been realized, and the police are still focused on Roma
00:25:56settlements.
00:25:59Meanwhile, a police patrol is on an evening tour of the settlement.
00:26:03Even the police themselves were surprised by the picture of life in Roma settlements.
00:26:18The policewoman says that some residents are also starting to develop
00:26:21trust in this predominantly young police
00:26:25unit. Who among us will keep
00:26:28their job in the age of artificial intelligence? The answer to
00:26:32this question is not even dared by the best experts in this
00:26:36field. And while on one hand numerous professions are
00:26:39threatened, in skilled trades there is still a shortage
00:26:43of workers. In Germany, for years, they have been
00:26:46unsuccessfully trying to make such professions
00:26:49more attractive to young people. Here is one example
00:26:52of how it is still possible.
00:26:55Marlon spends a year gaining practical craft
00:26:58experience. Today, this 20-year-old is installing
00:27:02an electrical line for a new charging station for car
00:27:05batteries. This is part of the voluntary craft year program at the company
00:27:09Electro Breitling. Young people are given the opportunity to try out
00:27:12different vocational professions. During the year, they will
00:27:15go through four areas, from IT technician to
00:27:18system
00:27:19planner.
00:27:26Rather into crafts, and then I just wanted to get a taste of it, what's it like, do I even enjoy it,
00:27:29is it maybe actually? This allows him to learn quickly
00:27:42through practical work. This is precisely what motivates participants in the voluntary
00:27:46craft year, says master electrician Jonas
00:27:50Gentner. He is Marlon's mentor during
00:27:53the three months of work in the field of energy and
00:27:56construction.
00:27:57is, you also get into completely different
00:28:02working relationships, and yes, you talk more, you, you
00:28:06do more together, and then it always works better, of course, if you can teach him more
00:28:09and if you know that you can trust him, you can also give him more
00:28:13responsibility and let him do more, even alone.
00:28:17The opportunity to try out different trades without the obligation
00:28:20to immediately start a three-year vocational training attracts
00:28:24many young people. Also attractive is the earning of 2.0 euros
00:28:28per month for a year of practical experience.
00:28:31Instructor Kohl says that it is money well
00:28:35spent because when participants once begin full
00:28:38vocational training, they almost never drop out.
00:28:42The one who wants to do the job,
00:28:48who feels called to crafts, who
00:28:52has a passion for crafts, he wants to,
00:28:56this one-year program was launched by
00:29:00the director. a push towards academization, but
00:29:10also a high dropout rate among
00:29:13academics, and there is simply a need for something where you
00:29:17can offer people a perspective, where they can try themselves out
00:29:20to gain experience, and also, well, to
00:29:23find out for themselves whether crafts,
00:29:27if academia is not for them, whether crafts are for me.
00:29:31option Marlon Ritter now knows which
00:29:34profession suits him. After completing the one-year
00:29:38program, he will train as an electrician.
00:29:41electrical engineering technician for energy and civil
00:29:44engineering.
00:29:48This was a brief overview of events in Europe, which
00:29:52faces numerous challenges. You can
00:29:55get more information about them, and many other topics, on our
00:29:58online platform and YouTube channel. See you.
00:30:37Good evening, dear viewers, welcome to
00:30:39the news.
00:30:44There is no end in sight to the deep crisis in the BH industry. Miners from the
00:30:48Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina have announced a protest in Sarajevo on Friday,
00:30:51their salaries are late, and debts are piling up. At the same time,
00:30:551.5 workers of the new steelworks
00:30:58fear bankruptcy.
