Inside Europe: The Inside Take on European Affairs 17.10.09:
This week: Where does EU cash go? - Protests at Sarkozy's nepotism - Payback time in UK MPs expenses scandal - Moral debate over IVF in Poland - Culture vultures aghast at McDo in Louvre - Lack of press freedom in Turkey concerns EU - Bosnian reforms could hinder EU membership - Russia's science brain drain - Italian village pitches up for baseball - Cricket fan's mission to spread the AshesNetworking for a slice of the EU pieBulgaria's new environment minister says the country will forfeit or have to repay hundreds of millions of euros in EU aid because of mismanagement by the previous administration. A third of the EU’s entire budget goes towards funding development in Europe’s regions. It mounts up to billions of euros a day.And to find out how to get their hands on that cash, representatives from the northernmost tip of Finland all the way down to the coast of Cyprus have attended a huge networking event called Open Days. This taxpayers’ money is meant to go towards projects that will help turn the EU into a dynamic, well-functioning area. But it's not always well spent.Report: Vanessa MockJobs for the boys in Sarkozy's FranceA protest movement is growing in France against the possible appointment of President Sarkozy's son as head of the country's biggest business district.Jean Sarkozy, who's a 23 year old law student, already leads his father's political party in the area. Opponents are complaining of nepotism but the government says Sarko junior is good enough to apply for the job. Report: Alasdair SandfordIs it payback time for Britain's MP's?In Britain, it seems feathering your own nest at the taxpaper's expense could become a thing of the past for MP's. A long running row about parliamentary expenses has suddenly roared back into life.Legislators have been asked to hand back some of the money they've claimed from public funds over the past five years. And as Stephen Beard tells us in this Postcard from London, the House of Commons is not happy.Moral debate rages in Poland over IVFA controversial debate about in vitro fertilisation or IVF treatment is
underway in Poland as the country's politicians try to adopt a new law to regulate the practice. Fertility treatment is already available in around forty private clinics but the centres are not bound by any rules.Poland's Roman Catholic Church has weighed in, reminding politicians that it opposes the treatment on the grounds that embryos are killed in the procedure. One Catholic citizen's initiative even wrote a draft law which would have made IVF treatment a criminal offence and sent doctors to prison for up to three years. The parliament threw that bill out at its first reading and it's now considering a handful of others. Report: Adam Easton Would the Mona Lisa smile at a big mac and fries?French culture and American convenience will soon come together in Paris. And culture vultures are aghast.McDonald's is to open a restaurant in the forecourt of the Louvre art museum. But the idea of mixing big macs and the Mona Lisa isn’t popular with everyone. Report: Eleanor Beardsley Concern over press freedom could hamper Turkey's path to the EUThis week, the European Union issued its annual report card on Turkey's bid to join its ranks. And it was a mixed picture.Ankara was praised for its efforts to resolve a decades long dispute with neighbouring Armenia and for the introduction of certain reforms. But one sticking point remains the freedom of the country's press. That's partly because of a 3 billion dollar tax fine imposed on Turkey's largest media organization which also happens to be critical of the government. The company is now facing the prospect of having its assets seized. Report: Dorian Jones Is Bosnia on the brink of breaking up?If EU membership seems a distant dream for Turkey, the chances of Bosnia-Herzegovina joining the bloc look even more remote. Fourteen years after the war there ended, the country continues to struggle with deep political and ethnic divisions and an unwieldy government.The country consists of a Bosnian –Serb entity and a Muslim-Croat federation. But Bosnia has less than 4 million people yet it boasts 3 presidents and 13 prime ministers. Last weekend officials from the EU and the US met with Bosnian leaders to talk about constitutional reforms. The international community wants Bosnia to prepare for eventual membership of the EU and NATO. Marko Prelec, is with the International Crisis Group in Sarajevo. Helen Seeney asked him if Bosnia had become a failed state?Russia aims to stem the science brain-drainAccording to some estimates, up to 200,000 scientists have left Russia since the early nineteen nineties - in search of a better salary, normal working conditions and prestige. Most of them will never return.Some of these emigrants now warn Moscow that it should take urgent measures in order to prevent nothing less than a total collapse of Russian science. But Russian leaders have done little to suggest that they take the warning seriously, and, paradoxically, even say Russia aims to become the world leader in the development of nanotechnology. Report: Geert Groot Koerkamp Baseball hits a homer in a small Italian villageItalians are completely crazy about football: from the prime minister’s own team AC Milan in the north of the country to level “D” football in villages in Sicily. But there’s one town outside Rome where America’s pastime rules.In the small, seaside city of Nettuno, kids grow up playing baseball, a tradition that began during World War II. Inside Europe visited Nettuno to find out why it swings its own way.Report: Nancy Greenleese One man's mission to spread cricket's Ashes throughout EuropeCricket doesn't have the largest following in Europe – at least not in continental Europe. But a young guy from Britain is trying to change that. He's set off from London, to cycle 25 000 kilometres to Australia carrying little more than a cricket bat.Oli Broom aims to reach Brisbane in time for the Ashes cricket series between England and Australia in November 2010. He also hopes to raise tens of thousands of euros for charity on the way, and to spread the message of cricket. The 29 year-old's route takes him through France, Belgium and Germany as well as into Africa and across Asia. Report: Olly Barratt

some Afghans are being offered a fast-track into Canada. So why are some of them sceptical. Crisis in Fair Trade coffee; the worker-Priest who helped create the industry disses corporate bigshots and its own bad management. An interview with the correspondent who puts the horror back into war reporting from "the country of broken shapes." From Bosnia, the story of a school where ethnic factions get together in peace.

Inside Europe: The Inside Take on European Affairs:
This week: Can Europe and the US reconcile their differences ahead of the G20 summit?-- Will NATO get the birthday present it wants?--UK’s chief scientist warns 2030 is cutoff to avert climate crisis-- Bosnia welcomes new international peace envoy-- Can schools bridge divisions in Bosnian society?-- Are the French becoming a nation of binge drinkers and Calling time on Britain’s pubs?
Tune in to Inside Europe on the radio or sign up for the Inside Europe podcast! You can also download the programme from the website.ILO warns economic upturn needs more than financial stimulusThe International Labour organisation says financial stimulus packages must pay more attention to protecting jobs and pensions, if real global economic recovery is to be achieved.Launching an appeal for a global jobs compact in Geneva, the ILO said simply pouring money into the world’s financial institutions would not promote a genuine upturn, and it warned of a serious labour market recession.
Reporter: Imogen Foulkes Bosnia welcomes a new international peace envoyThe task of managing tensions between Muslims, Croats and Serbs in post-war Bosnia Herzegovina is certainly not an easy one. And that task is now the responsibilty of the international community’s new peace envoy, Valentin Inzko.The Austrian diplomat takes up office as High Representative to Bosnia this week, following in the footsteps of Slovak diplomat Miroslav Lajcak. The international community had been planned to close down the office of the High Representative. But increased rivalry between Bosnia's two ethnically based regions -- the Muslim-Croat federation and the Serb Republic -- has put that on hold. So what are the main challenges facing the new envoy?
Interview : Rob Turner/ Marko Prelec, senior analyst at the International Crisis Group in the capital SarajevoCan schools bridge the deep divisions in Bosnian society?More than a decade after the end of the war in Bosnia, the divisions are still running deep between Serbs, Croats and Bosnian Muslims. Whether it’s drafting a common constitution, working together in the police or effectively cooperating in state institutions the list of contentious issues seems endless. Education is another example.Bosnia Herzegovina does not have one common ministry of education, but 12 education ministers and just as many school curriculums and textbooks. So, what can be done to bridge these divisions in Bosnian schools? And what role do history books and history teachers play in reconciliation?
Reporter: Barbara Gruber Are the French becoming a nation of binge drinkers?It’s long been held up as the prime example of responsible drinking, but now France is coming into line with most of Europe as it seeks to curb alcohol abuse among young people.Binge drinking – usually more associated with the British and other northern Europeans – has increasingly been taking hold among the French. Now the National assembly has voted to raise the legal drinking age to 18 and restrict sales in service stations. It’s also approved a ban on so-called open bars – where drinks are unlimited for a fixed entry price. After protests from the wine lobby, the ban won’t affect wine tasting and there’s also to be more freedom to allow alcohol adverts on the internet.
Report: Alasdair Sandford Calling time on Britain’s pubs?Responsible drinking is not something usually associated with Britain, but in the future locals might not have a choice.One the country’s great institutions – the local pub – is under threat. The watering holes are closing at an alarming rate as the recession bites. Higher taxes on beer, competition from supermarkets offering cut-price booze and the smoking ban are making a bad situation worse.
Report: Lars Bevanger UK’s chief scientist warns 2030 is the cut off to avert climate crisisIf the UK government's chief scientist is to be believed, then growing world population and climate change will cause a 'perfect storm' of food, energy and water shortages by 2030.Professor John Beddington says the problems will be as great as the current economic economic crisis. And he's called for the European Commission to appoint a chief science adviser. But Professor Beddington does think the crisis can still be avoided, as do some European firms who say their technology can deliver a more sustainable future even as population grows.
Report: Olly Barratt Can Europe and the US reconcile their differences ahead of the G20 summit?In the run-up to next week’s G20 summit, there seems to be a split emerging between the US/UK on one side and the rest of Europe on the other. The Czech EU Presidency described US plans to spend hundreds of billions of dollars to revive its economy as a "way to hell".Meanwhile, Britain’s Prime Minister Gordon Brown is on a tour of Europe and the Americas this week to drum up support for a global plan of action to fight the recession. Mr Brown says that a lot of the success of the summit in London rests on Europe’s willingness to pump more money into the economy. And President Obama has also been leaning heavily on his European counterparts to loosen their purse strings. But the EU has a different vision on how to tackle the crisis.
Report: Sabina Casagrande Will NATO get the birthday present it wants?NATO is gearing up for its 60th birthday. And speculation is mounting over who will take over the leadership of the world’s oldest alliance, NATO.The successor to Jaap de Hoop Scheffer will shoulder a heavy responsibility: turning the mission in Afghanistan into a success - or risk jeopardising the NATO’s future. But so far, all the candidates – including the frontrunner, the Danish Prime Minister, Anders Fogh Rasmussen – face major obstacles. And that could dash hopes that a new Secretary General will be found in time for NATO’s birthday bash.
Report: Vanessa Mock How much time is left to save the climateIn December, the UN convention on climate change will be meeting in Copenhagen to agree on the successor to the Kyoto protocol. In the run up to Copenhagen, the UN will be holding several rounds of talks, including one in Bonn starting next week.And there is still a lot to be agreed on the way. Governments broadly support tough goals for cuts in greenhouse gas emissions but are split on how to share out the reductions.

Inside Europe: The Inside Take on European Affairs:
This week: The EU prepares to take on pirates off the Somalian coast -- Has EUFOR fulfilled its Bosnian peacekeeping mission? -- The Great War through the eyes of the Avant Garde --The Polish exodus from the UK -- The Swiss army goes fishing for an unlikely catch -- Swedes head to Norway to work -- Slovaks prefer to live in Austria and the ethnic group that wants a country to call home.
Tune in to Inside Europe on the radio or sign up for the Inside Europe podcast! You can also download the programme from the website.EU prepares to take on pirates off the coast of SomaliaThe EUs so-called Operation Atalanta is the blocs first-ever naval mission and will be led by Britain. It will include contributions from 8 to 10 countries and will replace a NATO led force in the area next month. But how effective will it be?The European Union is launching a security operation off the coast of Somalia to combat growing acts of piracy and to help protect aid ships. These waters constitute a key maritime route and pirates in the area are responsible for nearly a third of all reported attacks on ships, often using violence and taking hostages. Bjoern Seibert is a Visiting Fellow at the Royal United Services Institute in London from the MIT.
Interview: Helen Seeney/ Bjoern SeibertHas EUFOR fulfilled its peacekeeping mission in Bosnia?Militarily speaking the job has been done, and some defence ministers argue its time to put an end to EUFOR. Nevertheless, the EU has postponed any decision on the future of EUFOR until early next year. But has it really succeeded in what it set out to do?An important issue on the agenda of EU defence and foreign affairs ministers this week was Bosnia Herzegovina. The European Union is concerned about the countrys stability, and the bloc reiterated its will to play a greater role in this Balkan country.Four years ago the European Union launched the military operation EUFOR Althea in Bosnia Herzegovina. Its mission was to contribute to a safe and secure environment, and make sure violence between Serbs, Croats and Bosnian Muslims doesnt resume.
Report Barbara Gruber The Great War through the eyes of the Avant GardeNovember 11th was Remembrance Day and commemoration ceremonies took place all over the world to mark ninety-years since the end of World War One.To coincide with the anniversary, the Thyssen-Bornemisza gallery in Madrid opened an exhibition called The Avant-Garde and the Great War. The display brings together a range of works from before, during and after the war, by artists including Wassily Kandinsky, Marc Chagall and Paul Klee. The paintings show the transformation in European culture that occurred as a result of what was then the worlds bloodiest ever conflict.
Report Danny Wood The Swiss army goes fishing for an unlikely catchSwitzerland maintained a neutral stance during the two World Wars, despite being surrounded by warring parties.But neutrality doesnt mean having no weapons or all the problems that can go with them. Imogen Foulkes has been finding out more.The Polish exodus from the UKUp to one million Poles flooded the British Isles when the UK and Ireland decided to allow in migrant workers from the new EU member states back in 2004. But four years on and the Poles are heading home.Britain is facing a financial crisis fuelled by the global credit crunch while the Polish economy has gathered pace, partly owing to the money sent home by migrant workers. These two factors have helped turn the tide of Polish job migration. Its estimated that around 50 per cent of Poles working in the UK and Ireland have now left.
Reporter Rafal Kiepuszewski Norway attracts Swedish workersNorwegian employers are more than happy to give the Swedes jobs.It is not only Poles who are now heading to Norway to find work. Young Swedes are also finding that their non-EU neighbour offers good pay and opportunities.
Report Lars Bevanger Slovaks prefer to live in AustriaWhen the Schengen border-free zone expanded last year to include much of former communist eastern Europe, one of the least enthusiastic EU members was Austria, where fear of foreigners has long coloured the national debate.Recent elections in Austria saw a sharp rise in support for far-right parties, which have campaigned heavily on a xenophobic, anti-immigrant platform. But in the very eastern tip of the country, along the River Danube that forms the border with Slovakia, the reality of Schengen is changing attitudes and lives.
Report Rob Cameron The ethnic group that wants a country to call homeThe Turkish government has relaxed its restrictions on the use of the Kurdish language in public, but for many Kurds, one of the main sources of news and entertainment is ROJ TV - a satellite television station headquartered in Denmark. So why have Turkish authorities in the past wanted Denmark to close the station?Turkey is home to more than half the worlds Kurdish population, who for decades have been seeking an independent homeland. The media is often a virtual battleground of breakaway regions or for a people seeking greater autonomy. Turkish authorities have in the past pressed Denmark to close the station, but it was Germany that took steps to ban ROJ TV in June. The German government argues ROJ TV is a propaganda mouthpiece for the Kurdistan Worker's Party - the PKK. The PKK is blacklisted as a terrorist organisation by the European Union and the United States. Guy Degen visited their main production studios just outside Brussels.

Tune in to Inside Europe on the radio or sign up for the Inside Europe podcast! You can also download the program from the website.What a President Barack Obama will mean for relations between the US and Europe?After almost two years of campaigning, the votes are all in and Barack Obama has been elected as the next President of the United States. Its been described as an historic election and one which has been followed just as keenly in Europe as it has stateside.
European leaders have been quick to congratulate Senator Obama. And in these times of financial insecurity, the relationship between the EU and the US is as important as it's ever been. So what will a President Obama mean for relations between Europe and the US? Inside Europe's Rob Turner put the question to Ulrike Guerot of the European Council on Foreign Relations.
How did Europe respond to the election victory of Barack Obama?European leaders have been quick to welcome the election of Barack Obama, among them the President of the European Commission, Jose Manuel Barroso.Inside Europe gauges the reaction across Europe to the next occupant of the White House.Is the credit crunch changing France's food cultureAs the global credit crunch continues to tighten belts around the world, in France the traditionally relaxed bistro or brasserie lunch is also becoming a victim of the financial squeeze.Almost three thousand restaurants went bankrupt in the first three months of the year as office workers have taken to grabbing a sandwich instead and people have stayed home in the evening rather than go out to eat. Over the summer holidays, even chic resorts such as St Tropez were hit by the downturn. Many restaurants are having to become increasingly inventive in order to attract business.
Reporter: Alasdair Sandford Golf resort that "trumped" environmental concernsAmerican property tycoon Donald Trump has won his long battle for permission to build a giant golf resort in Scotland.
The Scottish government has over-ridden local objections and has approved the plan in principle. Trump says he is going to build the best golf course in the world. But opponents of the project say it will wreck the ecology of a sensitive area and damage local wildlife.
Reporter: Stephen Beard Remembering a night of terror for Jews in GermanyThis weekend marks 70 years since the tragic events of November 9, 1938, a night that has gone down in history as Reichskristallnacht or the Night of Broken Glass.
Jews living in Germany give it another, perhaps more appropriate name, Reichspogromnacht, the night that the pogrom against the Jews began. For many it is remembered as the beginning of the Holocaust. In Munich, where nearly 5,000 Jewish citizens lost their lives during the Holocaust, the day has special significance because the Bavarian city was where Joseph Goebells, Nazi propaganda minister, gave the signal to begin the destruction and abuse that eventually lead to the death of millions of Jews throughout Europe.
Reporter: Mariana Schroeder Breakaway Regions: Bosnia HerzegovinaThis week the European Commission published the so-called EU progress reports on countries in the western Balkans that emerged after the wars and break up of former Yugoslavia.
The report expressed worries about Bosnia and Herzegovina's political instability and criticises the inflammatory rhetoric of the countries' politicians saying it's blocking the functioning of Bosnian institutions.13 years after the end of the war in Bosnia deep ethnic divisions still exist between Serbs, Croats and Bosnian Muslims. In recent years, tensions have increased causing concern in the international community about Bosnia's future. So, is Bosnia on the brink of collapse? And how serious are Bosnian Serbs about secession?
Reporter: Barbara GruberAre Polish universities the easiest way into Europe for young Africans and Asians?Its term time again for students across Europe, and for many the idea of a year out or semester abroad is very appealing.
Since Poland joined the Schengen group allowing travel without border checks across Europe, its own borders have found themselves under pressure from growing numbers of young Asians and Africans hoping for better lives in the European Union. But with increased border controls, getting into Poland isnt easy. So, some private Polish universities seem to have found a way around that. They advertise in countries like Bangladesh and Nepal offering young Asians cheap courses in a Schengen country with a promise of visa-free travel from Poland to richer EU states. Now, the number of Asian students coming to Poland is increasing dramatically.

Unearthing the hidden secrets of FlorenceA lucky few visitors to Florence in Italy will now be able to take a tour back to its origins. The city is lifting the veil on an archaeological dig under one of its most important buildings, the Palazzo Vecchio, the centuries-old seat of local government.In the process revealing the citys evolution over the past two thousand years, scientists have unearthed the remains of an ancient Roman theatre. The number of people allowed in will be strictly limited. Only around fifty can visit on the first Sunday of every month and last week the site opened for the first time.

Vermont Edition - 2007-07-25:
Vermont Edition for July 25, 2007 from VPR.
Resort towns have always had sizable number of part-time residents, and now some remote villages are seeing an increase in second home ownership. We talk with real estate experts, town officials and people who watch the market about how second home-owners impact a town's infrastructure and real estate market - with some negative and positive results. Also in the program, Vermont judge Patricia Whalen describes why she's made a two-year commitment to serve on a war crimes tribunal in Bosnia-Herzegovina. And Amila Begovic, a resettled Bosnian refugee, has decided to return home to Sarajevo after 12 years in Vermont. We hear her story.
