Eòrpa brings you relevant and interesting stories from across Scotland and Europe.

Andreas Wolff reports from Albania and speaks to those who have attempted to enter the UK illegally and also finds out about the wider reasons behind the exodus.

Tha an àireamh de luchd-imrich a tha air an t-slighe a dhèanamh a Bhreatainn gu mì-laghail, air bàtaichean beaga, air leudachadh gu mòr anns na beagan bhliadhnaichean a dh’fhalbh. Nam measg tha mòran de dh’Albàinianaich agus, ged a thèid aig cuid comraiche fhaighinn, tha mòran dhiubh a’ sireadh cothrom beatha nas fheàrr a dhèanamh dhaibh fhèin. Tha Andreas Wolff ann an Albàinia a’ rannsachadh na cùis agus a’ bruidhinn riutha-san a tha air feuchainn air an turas èiginneach a Bhreatainn a dhèanamh - turas a tha a’ cur bheathannan ann an cunnart. Tha e cuideachd a’ faighinn a-mach barrachd mu na h-oidhirpean a th’ann gus òigridh na dùthcha a chumail gun a bhith a’ falbh.

The number of migrants who attempt to enter the UK illegally in small boats across the English Channel has multiplied into the thousands in recent years. Many of those who have attempted this dangerous crossing are Albanian and, while many are granted asylum, there are also thousands who put their lives at risk for economic reasons. Andreas Wolff reports from Albania and speaks to those who have attempted to enter the UK illegally and also finds out about the wider reasons behind the exodus. He also looks at projects designed to create jobs and offer better prospects to young Albanians in the hope of keeping them from leaving the country.
