00:08:16The ball with which the famous Argentine footballer Diego Armando Maradona
00:08:19scored a goal with the so-called Hand of God against England in
00:08:23the quarter-finals of the 1986 World Cup,
00:08:26will be at an auction which will be held from August
00:08:2921st to 23rd by the American auction
00:08:33house Heritage Auctions, it is expected to fetch a selling
00:08:37price of 10 million dollars. The starting price for
00:08:40the ball with which Maradona scored the first goal in the match that
00:08:44ended with Argentina winning 2:1
00:08:47will be 2.5 million dollars, the auction house
00:08:51Heritage confirmed the authenticity of the ball with a letter they
00:08:55received from the match referee Tunisian Ali Benasser
00:08:58in 2023, confirming that
00:09:02he kept the only ball used during the match, which was
00:09:06in his possession for more than 30 years, the ball also
00:09:09bears the signatures of his assistants. Of that
00:09:12duel. Four years ago, a jersey worn by Maradona
00:09:16in the match against England in 1986 was sold at auction for
00:09:209.3 million dollars.
00:09:51Politics is not just a struggle for power, but a story about people and
00:09:54their everyday choices, choices
00:09:57that shape our society, even when they are not on the ballot
00:10:00paper, because changes only begin when we accept
00:10:04the responsibility that all this concerns us. That's
00:10:07why we seek answers persistently and without
00:10:10compromise towards the truth. I. I am Maja Štrbac, you are watching

00:10:33Worrying crisis at Volkswagen, slavery
00:10:37in Europe, problems of Roma in Greece.
00:10:50Good day to you. Germany has been in crisis for a long time. The symbol of that
00:10:54crisis is the former symbol of success and strength,
00:10:57Volkswagen. The news coming from this German automotive
00:11:01giant is one after another getting worse. The last one
00:11:05arrived before the summer holidays. There is talk of abolishing around one hundred
00:11:09thousand jobs and even a possible closure of four
00:11:12production locations. Among them is one of
00:11:15Volkswagen's most modern production facilities, the one in
00:11:19the East German city of Zwickau. The closure
00:11:22of the factory would threaten the entire region. Therefore, the local
00:11:25residents and authorities announce a determined fight against Volkswagen's
00:11:29plans.
00:11:33They are angry, disappointed, desperate. Volkswagen
00:11:36employees in Zwickau, Saxony, learned from the newspapers that
00:11:40their factory is on a list of four Volkswagen
00:11:44locations that this car manufacturer could
00:11:47close. It's like a world
00:11:50collapsing.
00:11:53One thinks a lot, one. Has anger in the belly, because one gives
00:11:56their best here every day, it's an
00:11:59emotional chaos that is simply indescribable.
00:12:01The closure of the factory would be a disaster for
00:12:05numerous supplier companies and for the entire Zwickau
00:12:08region. The entire region depends on it, we have
00:12:12suppliers here, we are talking about easily several thousand jobs
00:12:16and also the small baker or butcher, the trade, everything depends
00:12:20on it, if people simply don't earn money
00:12:22anymore.
00:12:25Reinhold knows that well. In his bakery, most of the work is during
00:12:28shift changes at the factory. Reinhold
00:12:31runs a small bakery with his wife for the third
00:12:34generation. Many customers he serves work at
00:12:38Volkswagen. When the night shift at the factory was abolished,
00:12:41sales fell, and the bakery had to lay off two of its 15
00:12:45employees.
00:12:49Uncertainty, so no one knows where the journey is going. Yes, so I also think
00:12:52about the family, I think about the employees who then
00:12:56built something here, who of course also pay off
00:12:59their houses, and so on, the crisis at
00:13:03Volkswagen is all they talk about even in the narrow streets of the historic
00:13:07center of Zwickau, after all almost every family has someone
00:13:11the factory.
00:13:19She started working for VW last
00:13:22year, as a mixer.
00:13:33You notice consumer behavior, people who are afraid for their jobs might not go shopping
00:13:37as much anymore, they don't go to restaurants anymore, because they simply save
00:13:41their money, we also notice that in the construction sector, when people no
00:13:44longer invest in residential properties or perhaps also in the commercial sector.
00:13:48And that's what they want to fight for here, says the deputy
00:13:51mayor. For every job. And that's if
00:13:55Volkswagen actually implements its
00:13:57plans. The scenario looks
00:14:01like this: there is a shortage of labor in the market, which
00:14:04leads to a search for workers mostly abroad. On
00:14:08one side are intermediaries who are looking for workers for their own
00:14:11benefit, on the other are those who want a job. Intermediaries then
00:14:15find a job, help with obtaining visas and you happily
00:14:19think that all you need to do is diligently
00:14:22do your job. However.
00:14:25The moment you invoke your contractual rights,
00:14:29harassment, threats, abuse
00:14:32from those who helped you begin. Those who gather
00:14:36the strength to oppose it pay a high price.
00:14:39Some paid with their lives, as in this example from
00:14:43Italian fields. These
00:14:45terrible images shocked Italy. In June, four
00:14:49foreign agricultural workers burned at a gas station.
00:14:53They were locked in a vehicle and had no chance of survival.
00:15:07and often what they find is this, this cruelty, this
00:15:07cruelty.
00:15:11workers were allegedly killed by criminal intermediaries because they protested
00:15:14against the conditions they worked in. that event drew attention to
00:15:18the exploitation of agricultural workers and the networks behind it.
00:15:22We are
00:15:24in southern Italy on the Ionian coast between Calabria
00:15:28and the Basilicata region. Strawberries, peaches, apricots, melons
00:15:31and kiwi are grown in a new fertile area and exported throughout
00:15:35Europe. Four agricultural workers also worked
00:15:38here. The agreement was that they would be paid 45 euros
00:15:42per day for eight hours of work. They received their last
00:15:45payment in April. We meet Gervasio Mungolo,
00:15:48a farmer and founder of an association that aims to raise
00:15:52awareness about the exploitation of workers. With him, we
00:15:55return to the place where the four men
00:15:57died.
00:16:01What agriculture is like in Italy, in Europe, it makes no
00:16:05difference if they are Pakistanis, Afghans, Bangladeshis,
00:16:08Africans, this is what we see
00:16:11every year in our countryside, there is
00:16:14very little desire to reason about the
00:16:17true causes of these
00:16:20tragedies.
00:16:23that at least 200,000 people in Italy alone work in discriminatory and
00:16:27slave-like conditions like the four victims from
00:16:29Amendolara.
00:16:33But the problem starts with resettlement. Many seasonal
00:16:35agricultural workers come and... in detail with a valid visa, to work for
00:16:39companies that then turn out to either not exist or
00:16:43disappear.
00:16:45And so they often become prisoners of intermediaries in finding
00:16:49work.
00:16:51Union members Federica Pietramala and Alessandro Dicalo
00:16:55try to free workers from such employment relationships. Like this
00:16:58group of Nepalese agricultural workers who worked in the same
00:17:01environment as the four men killed from
00:17:04Amendolara, for the same criminal post.
00:17:09they have reported, so now they have also been included in a
00:17:13protection and assistance
00:17:16project, both regarding their residence permit
00:17:20and regarding housing. Never
00:17:24again slavery, this sentence now stands at the gas station in
00:17:27Amendolara,
00:17:30the place where four people were burned
00:17:33alive.
00:17:39Poverty, lack of education, living in special
00:17:43violence, isolation, and thus non-integration into society and
00:17:46culture. That is what marks the lives of Roma in
00:17:49Greece. But how to solve this problem? The Greek authorities
00:17:53hope that a greater police presence could contribute
00:17:56to greater safety in Roma settlements and thus improve the situation
00:18:00there. But the Roma see this as
00:18:03a sign of distrust and racism.
00:18:07Zefiri is a Roma settlement in northern Athens, more than
00:18:1110,000 people live there, it is characterized by high
00:18:14unemployment, low levels of education, and a high
00:18:18crime rate. Some people call Roma
00:18:21settlements ghettos, claiming that
00:18:24it is not safe to go there alone, especially at night. The police
00:18:27want to improve safety by introducing patrols that operate 24
00:18:31hours
00:18:32a day.
00:18:45The police try to be highly visible, using large vehicles
00:18:48that no one else in this area drives, uniforms and weapons are visible. According to police
00:18:52data from 2024,
00:18:55Roma are involved in a greater number of criminal acts than other
00:18:58residents. According to these data, they are responsible for
00:19:0258% of burglaries and thefts in
00:19:04Athens. According to official statistics. "In
00:19:08Greece, just under 120,000 Roma live,
00:19:11but the actual number could be significantly higher. As
00:19:14a marginalized minority, they are generally not sufficiently integrated
00:19:18into Greek culture and society.
00:19:22Most residents do not want to be filmed. Many people in
00:19:25Zefiri oppose filming their houses.
00:19:28Stigmatization is obvious. Many Greeks believe that if a Roma
00:19:32lives in a nice house, not in a shack, it must mean that
00:19:36he is a criminal." "One older woman is willing to
00:19:39talk, she doesn't want her face to be seen on camera, but
00:19:43allows us to film the interior of her home, she has a clear
00:19:46opinion on the new regular police
00:19:49patrols.
00:19:53Who is
00:19:53to blame?
00:19:59And our palace, they have a bond with us.
00:20:06The problem is the lack of education and opportunities, says
00:20:09the president of the National Federation of Roma, Eftimiu
00:20:13Dimitriu. He is disappointed with how little has
00:20:16been achieved, despite the connections he has with Roma
00:20:19communities and with Greek
00:20:21politicians.
00:20:24The goal is to recruit Greek Roma into
00:20:27all services, into decision-making centers, to have
00:20:30Greek
00:20:32Roma within the various services, so that they can
00:20:36smooth things out. and serve the people, and we do not want
00:20:40crime, nor theft,
00:20:43nor fraud, nor drugs.
00:20:46Originally, there was even an idea to recruit members of the Roma community
00:20:50for police patrols as a step towards
00:20:53integration, but it has not yet been realized, and the police are
00:20:57still focused on Roma
00:20:58settlements.
00:21:01Meanwhile, a police patrol is on its evening rounds of
00:21:04the settlement, even the police officers themselves were surprised by the picture
00:21:08of life in Roma
00:21:09settlements.
00:21:16We suffered a cultural shock, we didn't know what we were seeing, the conditions were terrible.
00:21:20But the police officer says that some residents are starting to develop
00:21:24trust in this, predominantly young police
00:21:27unit. Who among us, in the age
00:21:31of artificial intelligence, will keep their job? The answer to
00:21:34this question is not even dared to be given by the best experts in this
00:21:38field. And while on one side numerous professions
00:21:42are threatened, in craft occupations there are still not
00:21:45enough workers. In Germany, for years
00:21:48they have been unsuccessfully trying to make such
00:21:51occupations more attractive to young people. Here is an example
00:21:54of how it is still possible.
00:21:57Marlon spends a year gaining practical craft
00:22:01experience. Today, this twenty-year-old is installing
00:22:04an electrical line for a new charging station for
00:22:07bus batteries. This is part of the voluntary craft year program at
00:22:11Electro Brightling. Young people are given the opportunity to try out
00:22:14various professional occupations. During the year, they will
00:22:17go through four areas of IT.
00:22:51is a voluntary craft year, says electrical engineer Jonas Gentner, he is
00:22:55Marlon's mentor during three months of work in the field
00:22:58of energy and construction
00:23:00technology.
00:23:06other working conditions and yes, you talk more, you, you
00:23:10do more together and then it always works better, of course, if you can
00:23:14teach them more and if you know that you can trust them, you can also give them more
00:23:17responsibility and let them do more too.
00:23:21The possibility of trying out different crafts without the obligation
00:23:24to immediately start a three-year vocational training attracts
00:23:28many young people. The attractive earnings of 2.0 euros
00:23:31per month for a year of practical experience.
00:23:35Instructor Christoph Kolz says that it is money well spent,
00:23:38because when participants once start full
00:23:42vocational training, they almost never
00:23:44leave it.
00:23:50find someone who also wants to do the job, who feels called
00:23:54to craftsmanship, who is passionate about craftsmanship. has,
00:23:57this one-year program was launched by
00:24:02the director of the company fight
00:24:06in 2021.
00:24:14but also a high dropout rate among
00:24:17academics, and there is simply a need for something where
00:24:21you can offer people a perspective, where they can try themselves out
00:24:24to gain experience, to
00:24:27also, yes, for themselves to find out whether craftsmanship,
00:24:31if academia is not for them, whether craftsmanship is an
00:24:34option for them. Marlon Ritter now knows what
00:24:38profession suits him, after completing the one-year
00:24:42program, he will train as an electrical engineer for
00:24:45energy and construction
00:24:47technology.

00:25:54Moving mountains at the push of a
00:25:56button.
00:26:00It might sound like science fiction. but in the Swiss Alps it may
00:26:04soon become reality. in the
00:26:07Gothard massive, researchers at the University of Zurich
00:26:10hope to trigger a small earthquake. If it
00:26:13works, it could reveal more about how earthquakes
00:26:16start and whether they can be
00:26:18predicted.
00:26:23All this and more groundbreaking stories on DW's science
00:26:26show. Welcome to Tomorrow
00:26:28Today.
00:26:35The big moment is just days away. Researchers at
00:26:38ETHH Zuric University are hoping to do something that's never been
00:26:42done in quite this way before, deliberately triggering a small
00:26:46earthquake.
00:26:49But first, there's still plenty of work to
00:26:51do.
00:26:53A narrow road leads two and a half kilometers deep into the Gottat
00:26:57Masif. The Bedreto tunnel underneath the mountain
00:27:01range is more than 50. years old and no longer in
00:27:04use, and now it's a perfect natural
00:27:06laboratory, here the team hopes to make ancient fault
00:27:10deep inside the rock slip ever so
00:27:12slightly. we're here because of this fault
00:27:16zone, you can see the boundary here clearly, a thin
00:27:19line. in the middle, there's this very briddle
00:27:22material called fault gouch.
00:27:26that's evidence that the rock is slipped along this line
00:27:29before. this is where we're hoping to trigger.
00:28:03If we understand the underlying physics better, perhaps one day we'll be able to make
00:28:07better forecasts.
00:28:10Men, Andren Maya and his 70 member team have been planning and
00:28:13building this experiment for 5 years. They've installed
00:28:17more than 200 sensors inside the mountain, hoping to capture
00:28:21every moment of the earthquake as it
00:28:23unfolds.
00:28:26Here's how they plan to trigger it. The fault has
00:28:29slipped naturally before, producing tiny earthquake.
00:28:37To reach it, the team has excavated new tunnel branching
00:28:40off from the Bagetta lab.
00:28:44From here, they'll pump water through three bore holes directly
00:28:48into the fault.
00:28:51As water pressure increases, the rock begins to shift. The
00:28:55existing stresses in the rock are released, triggering micro
00:28:59earthquake.
00:29:02Using six high pressure pumps, they'll inject around
00:29:062,0 cubic meters of water into the bore holes to bring the
00:29:09fault to the point where it slips.
00:29:13The pump system operates at pressures approaching 200 bar,
00:29:17demanding test for the equipment and a potential
00:29:20hazard for anyone inside the
00:29:21tunnel.
00:29:25These are the anchoring systems. They're
00:29:27secured with chains and anchor pins in case the pressure becomes too
00:29:31high and part of the pipe work.
00:30:18the test will
00:30:19begin
00:30:23one last systems check at the badretto lab 100 km
00:30:27away.
00:30:31it's been a... busy night and morning, but everything looks good and we're ready to
00:30:35go, the researchers are
00:30:39optimistic, the pumps are ready and the safety systems are in
00:30:43place,
00:30:46so this is button is to manually stop the
00:30:49pump, so we can press this button, once we have it pressed
00:30:52for about eight seconds, the pumps in the tunnel will stop
00:30:55automatically, and this is safety procedure that will allow
00:30:59to have a bit more control.
