Dieselgate Reloaded - Part 2
Europod • News
12/15/23 • 14 min
In this episode of Europe Talks Back, Gail Rego continues to dig into the investigation by Stefano Valentino published by the pan-European online media, Voxeurop, on how the European car industry has lobbied EU institutions to weaken Euro Seven, the next European Emission Standard.
Over the years, the EU has adopted progressively more stringent regulations on car emissions, but establishing this new standard is proving to be more difficult than in the past.
This story is part of an investigation conducted with Voxeurop and supported by the Journalismfund Europe, the European Excellence Exchange in Journalism (E3J) and Free Press Unlimited.
“If there is no Euro Seven with stringent rules they will keep polluting the air that citizens breathe.” - Stefano Valentino

As a relatively older activist, Karen also emphasizes the importance of educating people of all ages about the perils of climate change and working together in unity to create a sustainable future.

Disability in Times of War
Europod • News
05/31/23 • 21 min
Once the Russian invasion of Ukraine started, people with disabilities suffered tremendously. And amid the panic and chaos that followed the invasion, many were unable to evacuate from their homes. This left people trapped in the crossfire without access to bomb shelters. In the first episode of the second season of Europe Talks Back, host Juli Simond tells the story of Tetyana Herasymova, who is one of the approximately 2.7 million Ukrainians with disabilities. Tanya is one of those who managed to flee. Ever since, she’s been helping fellow Ukrainians with disabilities stuck near the frontlines of the war in Ukraine. As the director of the Ukrainian NGO, Fight for Right, Tanya is committed to championing the needs and rights of disabled individuals, particularly during times of conflict. Drawing from her own experiences as a person with a disability navigating the challenges of war, Tetyana's dedication to promoting inclusivity and equality is unwavering and deeply impactful.

On May 9, 2018, as many European citizens were celebrating Europe Day, the dead body of a young black woman was found in the French river of Durance, not far away from the Franco Italian border. It was the body of Blessing Matthew, a Nigerian girl in her early twenties. As many other people from Africa, Blessing crossed the Mediterranean Sea aiming for a better life in Europe. But she encountered death in unclear circumstances. According to some witnesses of the night that led to Blessing’s death, whatever happened needs to be examined in relation to the actions undertaken by the French Police patrolling the border. This year, on October 25th, after investigation by the French police was declared inconclusive and two attempts to bring Blessing’s case to court in France were dismissed, Tous Migrants, a French migrant advocacy organization, announced that it had filed an appeal with the European Court of Human Rights. On this episode of Europe Talks Back, host Alexander Damiano Ricci talks to Janina Pescinski, Leverhulme Trust Doctoral Scholar at Queen Mary University of London, working on questions related to migration, citizenship, and borders, to understand the critical situation migrants are living along the Franco-Italian border within the European Union.
You can follow Janina’s work on Twitter here.
The blog post by Janina, through which we discovered Blessing’s story, you can find it at Ideas on Europe, the blog of UACES, the association for contemporary European Studies.
The special investigation conducted by the people behind Border Forensics, which led to the association Tous Migrants to file an appeal with the European Court for Human Rights.

Although the Netherlands is internationally seen as a progressive country, the reality that many ethnic groups experience daily looks very different from the inside. In fact, over the past few decades, an ongoing battle against institutional racism has been taking place in the country. In this episode of Europe Talks Back, host Juli Simond tells the story of Marisella de Cuba, who was born on Aruba, a Caribbean island facing the coast of Venezuela that is part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. When Marisella moved to the Netherlands’ mainland at a young age, she found herself confronting a society plagued by racism, which propelled her into activism.
