It's 3 p.m., and in the episode that begins now, there is a focus on borders within Europe. What does it mean to cross them?
For Verica Markowic from Belgrade, travel and migration are more difficult than for her contemporaries further west. Her home country, Serbia, is geographically in Europe, but outside the EU. The young doctor would like to stay in Belgrade. It is not necessarily the better pay that draws her to Germany. Her decision to leave came when she realised that in her home country, she won't be able to make her professional dream come true because male doctors dominate the operating theatres. As a young doctor in Germany, she can choose her field of expertise much more freely than at home.
Nastja from Magnitogorsk lives on the border between Europe and Asia. Earlies today, she passed her final exam as a hairdresser. Now she is on her way to an event organised by the youth organisation "Young Patriots", which is loyal to Russia's autocratic president Putin. The event is reminiscent of the Soviet Komsmomol youth organisation, and its East European counterparts such as the Young Pioneers in Communist East Germany and the Free German Youth. Today, volunteers who helped organise the 73rd anniversary celebration of the Red Army's victory over Nazi Germany will be honoured.
Coshquin lies on the border between the British part of Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, which is governed from Dublin. The border runs through the middle of the land of a centuries-old family farm. If another hard border is imposed here with Brexit, father and son want to share the field. This is the only way they will still have a chance to work.
