wise, international arctic outpost with the voting law as i'm making some presidents uncomfortable but soft to the right image of joshua will be here in 45 minutes with more news headlines. i'm anthony. help for me and the team here in berlin, whatever in the world you're watching for wishing you a good time to buy the we are all set and we are watching to see him to bring you the story behind the new the will on about come by as information for free might say do to and then they burst into areas whenever they feel like doing the 1000 kind of for design and fashion. and most of the pieces in the sky is many on

including the how do they do in the secret lives of size? dogs may 22nd on dw, the no one needs a visa to live in the arctic archipelago sound body. but it is no legion territory . from the government side, they want these to be the region from the family and society. foreigners feel ostracized. the may a and other local politicians don't care about my problems because i comp books to them. real small bod, remain and hope in society in the future. the

a long descent into the permafrost underground. mia slow task works in coal. my number's southern and small box. the last operational norwegian mine in the archipelago, the lounging blasting aligning. and i really fell in love with both mine and the small bar and all the people. so originally from middle of norway, the meo started as a teen in 2020 for the past 2 years. she's been a full time member of the team. and the only woman among the male miners,

the entire thing, i am just curious. so somebody told me that 12 daughter is a good place and maybe i should try to go there and i did. and the there, right? so from sitting 3 weeks, i was suppose to stay for 3 weeks, and i stayed for 6 weeks and went home and packed all my stuff and moved here today, new is making the mind safer by reinforcing. installed safety is top priority here . the, the working language in the mine is norwegian, and most of the miners here are from norway. however, a few individuals, some other scandinavian countries get by with a region to test. but up on the surface and on your engine, it's more international mostly i see for region, most of my friends are in the region, but i do know people that are not so we use

a lot of english as well. and also it's almost impossible to order your food in the region, so i have to speak english and the i think it's ok. cool, and miners have long been symbols of long year been. however, in recent times, coal mining has decreased significantly. signaling a change in life on small bod, towards tourism. yeah, but i mean that boring impala, i haven't been to the place where the code is direct key. mind. but i'd be really tough to the mind cods or progress with any other valeria arrives found about 4 years ago. initially she worked as a tour guide in the russian mining settlements of buttons board and put a meeting on the archipelago and tournament. i mean, i pay taxes here, so i spoke to the new college student. it's sort of like the local man is office.

so i basically told them, i'm a russian with the ukranian passport. i can't go back to any of the mainland countries that a, somehow more or less native to me. i meant the mazda system to listen to me and harshly said, this is the brutal reality home that was the few must go back to the mainland. if you have no place to live here with the ticket, so i'm going to visit industrial know regional companies can offer housing for their employees. while non norwegians must find their own as demand increases. life for foreigners and the town used to be easier. according to elizabeth born originally from seattle, she's been living in solid body for 7 years rent, an art gallery and advocates for foreigners riots. born has witnessed a significant increase of new arrivals among european and recent years now comprising more than a 3rd of the towns population of over 2000. i

think that there is a lot of anxiety about how this place is becoming less norwegian then it used to be, well it used to be a coal mining town that was run by a norwegian company and nobody else could live here. so of course it's changed, but i don't think that they or i don't think the norwegian government when they decided to promote tourism as a replacement industry for coal mining, realize that one of the things that would come with tourism would be a large number of of non the regents this followed by treaty, signed in 1920 grants, nowhere sovereignty over the archipelago of ensuring equal access to resources in fair treatment for all parties fostering a unique international community on the islands. today the majority of norwegians in spot of our work in the tourism sector. the concern about the increasing number of foreigners on the archipelago region authorities 2 years ago,

restricted their voting rights to vote or stand for election in the local council. one must have resided on the mainland for 3 years. the norwegian authorities argue that this requirement ensures a good understanding of solve our policy and framework. in response assignment protest emerged displayed in the elizabeth gallery. echoing the voice of those norwegians who are fearful or unable to speak due to the precarious positions taking the road away. is one of the ways to keep people from feeling like this is a good place to be. i think very much that norway would like to norwegian, i is longer be in but the way that they're doing it also alienates the norwegians here. so you cannot norwegian eyes

a place when you have 40 percent of your population cannot speak the language and they can't speak the language because there are no language classes and there haven't been for very long time. tanya, on the mayor of long nubian, was elected last fall under changed election rules, which excluded many local foreigners from participating of the despite smell of bodies unique status, tonya emphasizes that remains a part of norway, albeit and unconventional one just making more and more iron curtain people come along your brain to work and it's up to you when you arrive here to house of us. i take care of yourself and that's not the only for foreigners that even for norwegian that we have less are rights here compared to may not even us and who we just that's quite important though. so a part of the picture from the government side. they want this to be a no region from the family society,

but the growth in number of people has been the mainly going to for the, for foreigners. that doesn't mean that for in this, for and theirs are not welcome. but the government wants it to be a better balance, and then they have to, to make a policy that makes the split the balance. and sometimes i would that that can be considered as tighten up the great kind of the rules and norway are very liberal. and i don't think norway wants to have that kind of liberality here because they feel the need to keep more control here. because this is such an open community, i don't, i don't blame norway for their concerns, but i do think they're going about are trying to achieve their goals in a way that actually is going to do the exact opposite this fall. but a treaty has been responsible for the balance for a century and no, no agents,

your recent changes as a restriction of their rights. despite the prohibition of discrimination in the small by treaty, the local newspaper, spot cost and closely monitors. this issue that there was a lot of frustration and sorrow amongst the norwegian inhabitants of, of long in because a lot of people have lived here for a long time and been kind of part of the local democracy. been in low cost data and maybe see a norway and long to be an us so to the community that they want to take part of unlike them origin. uh, yeah, democracy so, so that was a lot of feelings and frustration. the restriction of rights means the 2 groups. norwegians and norwegians exist side by side, especially in a political terms. the may is a, the may a and any other local politician doesn't care at all if i have

a place to live or not to what my problems are, they're not interested in helping us. i cannot give them like that to us for most elizabeth plans to continue raising awareness about the challenges faced by norwegians followed by the dispatchers month for the arctic. she has chosen to leave and re unite with her family. no one stays here forever. this is not a place for you to look for us. i have a 4 year old granddaughter and as my son reminds me that if i intend to know her, then i need to be near her and sending photos of me on a snowmobile isn't going to make it so i will, i will leave next year. and i've, i know the very hopes to be successful in finding accommodation in small body would move to the european mainland if necessary. new as life flexibility is

a minus set to close next year. nobody is relinquishing its cool legacy install, bought the. 9 but i've been looking in through going to australia, greenland, because i really liked mining. so i would like to keep doing that. um, but i'm also open to be a mechanic again in the mainland life here. it doesn't suit everyone. once a sunshine, the months of darkness and the arctic cold, it's still managed to draw in many international is because of its unique environment and the visa free work opportunities. but the new law has undoubtedly made living together more difficult the of the key or is view of the outer space huge telescopes in the today. and as you come up as it bail
