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. Immigrant workers go on strike in France the government stands firmFrench immigration authorities have begun examining urgently the cases of hundreds of mostly African workers who?ve been on strike demanding the right to stay in France.
Campaigners claim the protest ? which is backed by the workers? employers - has forced the government into a partial climbdown over its tough immigration policy. The strikers - who work in restaurants, as cleaners and on building sites - are among tens of thousands of immigrants working legally in the French economy, but in jobs often obtained with false papers. The government says there?ll be no general amnesty. But the affair has called into question its target of deporting 25,000 illegal immigrants a year. Alasdair Sandford reports from Paris.Is Bulgaria finally cracking down on corruptionThe Bulgarian Prime Minister, Sergei Stanishev, sacked three cabinet ministers this week and appointed a new Interior Minister in a major reshuffle.
The move follows sharp criticism by the European Union that the country is not doing enough to combat rampant corruption and organized crime. Stanishev also created a new post of deputy premier to oversee and control the use of funds from the EU. Helen Seeney asked Bulgarian journalist Alexander Andreev if the reshuffle was a serious attempt to clean up the government or simply a facelift.Europe gives a green light to GalileoThe European Parliament has given the green light to the long-delayed Galileo project, the European alternative to the U.S.-dominated satellite navigation system GPS.
In an almost unanimous vote, MEPs set in stone the legal basis for the system, which has been plagued in the past by technical problems and infighting among EU nations. Julian Bohne has the details.Protecting Greece?s heritage ? but at what cost?A prominent environmentalist is facing prison in Athens for allegedly
illegally possessing antiquities...considered one of Greece's most serious cultural crimes.
70 year old Costas Carras, who was born and raised in Britain, is the President of a conservation trust in Greece. That trust has also been charged with similar offences. Veteran politicians say both Mr Carras and his organization are being framed in order to undermine their success in protecting Greece's environment and heritage. From Athens Malcolm Brabant reports. The Czechs develop a taste for posh noshThe Czech capital Prague has just become the first city in the former eastern bloc to receive a coveted Michelin star.
The world-renowned guide to fine dining singled out the city's Allegro restaurant - located inside the Four Seasons Hotel - for dishes such as "yellow-fin tuna caramelised with ginger on panzanella tartar with sesame seeds, red onion and orange and sour tomato sorbet". It's a far cry from goulash and dumplings, but as Rob Cameron reports, the standard of Czech cuisine is very much on the up.A new biodiversity project here in Germany is helping to save domestic animals from extinctionClimate change and environmental degradation is having a dramatic impact on animals and their habitats around the world.
But it?s not just exotic species which are at risk. There are certain breeds of domestic animals which face an equal if not more critical threat of extinction. And this has potentially serious consequences for our global and domestic agriculture markets. The Tierpark Arche Warder in northern Germany is trying to address this problem. It?s an animal park near the city of Kiel which is seeking to preserve over 70 valuable species of domestic animals before it?s too late. Laura Spurway went to find out more about this very special conservation effort.How the Marshall Plan changed the face of EuropeSixty years ago this month, US President Harry Truman signed the Marshall Plan into law.It was formally called the European Recovery Program and was meant to create stability on a European continent that had been devastated by war. From 1948 to the programme's end in 1951, the United States distributed 13 billion dollars worth of economic aid. The plan was a success, and during its run, Europe experienced the fastest period of growth in its history. It was an important pillar of Germany's economic miracle of the 1950s that brought the county back from ruin. But over the years there has been criticism of the Marshall plan. The Soviet Union, and even some economists, called it an American plan to use its deep pockets to gain influence over western Europe. Kyle James looks back at what it achieved.Is large scale investment stripping Montenegro of its natural assets?The weather?s finally warming up and Europeans are starting to plan those all important summer holidays.
In terms of destinations, there?s no shortage of choice but one of the continent?s current hotspots is Montenegro, the former Yugoslav republic which declared independence from Serbia nearly two years ago. Montenegro might be small but its beautiful coastline and historic towns are proving a hit with tourists. But they?re not the only ones taking advantage of all the country has to offer. Investors are snapping up Montenegro?s assets and as Rob Turner reports that brings problems with it.For the intrepid traveller, the rail journey of a lifetime from London to DhakaIf you?ve got three weeks to spare you?ll soon be able to travel by train from London to Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh.
It?s a journey of around 7,000 miles or 11,000 kilometres and has been described by train buffs as the world?s greatest railway journey. It?ll be possible thanks to a UN sponsored scheme which is opening up and connecting various stretches along this route. Pakistan and India, for example, are linking up their lines in the coming months. But you?ll need more than just time if you want to take this epic overland journey. As British rail enthusiast Mark Smith told Helen Seeney.
