12:39 pm
so, is it a problem for 6000 people to live in a bunker like this and an emergency nelson, helsinki? the federal beneath the city is solely granite and nice. the bunker was carved into the underground rock, but is not the only sold. but also cool. in the event of war, the large calls can be converted into smaller rooms that need it. so thousands of people can live down here for longer periods, much as they were above ground, they will be people dying, they will be people's available biasing. they will be 6 people. they will be glad to people that will be sending people every function. and as a normal and society happens within the shelters, finland chairs the board of russia over 1300 kilometers long for a long time to refuse to join nature. but not anymore. the war and ukraine changed

energy prices in europe has prompted people to sit shooting alternatives in the winter and cost of all the attention has turned to firewood the goal, like mountains near the village of grass shapes are traditionally rich in this resource, but that is fast changing. the timber that has failed and sold there is often done so illegally. it's a lucrative draw for feeds in a country where poverty is rampant and catching. the perpetrators isn't easy for law enforcement. the thieves struck when we ours, before the cuts are fresh, the trees were stolen. lots of them. it was the work of timber fees. ranger of the people he says he finds seems like this on patrol almost every day on board found out it was normal. it really infuriates me and my co workers across the he doesn't
12:43 pm
only destroy the forest, it affects the entire ecosystem here in the face of the council. these days, cases like this, keep us busy around the clock in the deep new cohort ball and other details of the north and the people to see me is one of a small force of rangers patrol linked the co like mountains of fast area covering some $11000.00 tech tears, the ranger says they're mostly fighting a losing battle. more and more land is being raised. all killed. the illegal logging in these forest is terrible because of course take so long to regrow beam, it doesn't happen overnight. or even in a single year out from the usually the little harvest ends up here in private homes as far the most local suddenly still sheets with the war and ukraine has also st energy prices. soaring and poverty stricken costs of the open doors for legal
12:44 pm
traitors, the stolen timber sold roadside to this, yet we shot this footage with a hidden camera. the me, this is for cubic meters. are the best of good for burning beach? actually it's even a bit more, but you can have it for 40 euros, a cubic meter, 160, for all of it. and as early as today, i'm one of them. is that legal? we don't want any trouble with the police have done before. do you see monday or no, no problem. i take care of things like that. i'll bring the wood, unload it and bring the machine to cut it out. would that will cost extra need certainly not far away. we meet these 2 brothers. they are involved in the business with stolen timber, so they don't want to be identified they see it's the only way they have to make some money and get through the cold winter. if we didn't have this business, we'd have to live without a fire. only with blankets then we might not make it through till spring.
12:45 pm
it would be really tough. especially if the winter is very hard. of the neighbors place, they show us the machine they use. it's had me very old and indestructible. they use it to solve a still inbox that they've been sell the know many of their customers person the would comes from this area and farther afield. our customers still the timber because they're poor. they collect the logs and load them into their tractors they see themselves which never steal timber from the forest. the risk of getting cost is too high. their suppliers keep running into rangers and then they're
12:46 pm
scared. they've been caught and punished quite often. so they get the rangers a little pay off, but they aren't really corrupt. they know what our situation is like. and they just want to make a little money themselves, mainly for their children. back to the gold mountain ranger. but she is familiar with these allegations, but doesn't put much stuff on the country. he says the feeds are violent and don't even shy away from murder. 4 years ago they shopped one of his fellow rangers, but for in the afternoon, what did she and i could have been me, one of my other colleagues, cannot you? and we work together until 3 pm. so you know, and only one or 2 hours longer and he would have got us to seek his door. suddenly, the weather changes. in these conditions, head ranger mendota zebra goes out on patrol himself. he says the timber thieves
12:47 pm
feel safe in the mountains and when a cold because they know his divisions doesn't have to budget to properly go after them. and the reason multiple, we need more staff have more money and more technical equipment source of which is the order. and then for now we're doing whatever we can to stop the legal log in with what's available to us and that sort of sources. but it won't be enough, but if we just don't have enough resources, left them all that we need more do and let the source to and so the illegal logging in cost of book continues. broad stretches of this corner of the bulk of the long being covered by pristine forests. but how much longer will these thoughts are fine? the doctor is john paul deal is ready for retirement, but he isn't hanging up his stethoscope just yet. that's because in france where he lives, there is a chronic shortage of doctors. if john paul leaves his practice,
12:48 pm
there won't be any one to take it over. the shortage is especially acute in the countryside in a department in the region of normandy. the state is trying to alleviate the deficit with buses that function as more by all medical practices. they are equipped to provide health care for patients in frances, so called medical deserts. emilio isn't isn't going on vacation. she's taking her suitcase to work at this doctor's office on wheels and normally the medical assistance also dr. we're going to meet patients right now who really need our medical assistance. a role region in the northern part of normandy. there's a serious shortage of doctors. the patients are already waiting at the community center. i sprained my ankle at work on saturday. the bus
12:49 pm
has been rented by the department of every day of travels to a different town with a rotating staff. today i'm a leo's and is accompanied by retired doctors on holiday on the the 1st patient is just here for a check out the still, the on the bus is equipped with everything needed for standard medical examinations . this patient michelle baylash agrees that the doctor shortage is a serious problem. he put an automatic, they retire and nobody wants to replace them. the last doctor had a successor with and changed his mind. of course we have to go somewhere else to see a doctor. but since the bus started, and i've been here twice, and it's helping me really be a commitment. what you do is utah. okay. last year dr. day,
12:50 pm
i'm close to his own practice and another region of normandy when he got bored after a few months. you've really wants to do something like doctors without borders, but then i thought to myself, why go so far away when i'm going to say more close by. so it didn't make sense. easy to contact the team and then the hospital contacted or the on behalf of the reach of the project, st. jude. good. an interesting i said yes. with more than 30 patients. and one morning the doctor and his assistant didn't get a moment's rest. most patients book the appointment online, but for urgent problems people can come without an appointment. we have patients here who haven't seen a doctor in 2 years young and that's a long time. even a year. it's a long time. no, they haven't had any blood work done or any kind of check on the optical. some have
12:51 pm
been taking medication for years without any monitoring because there's no doctor here idea who you think you really to new folks i taught in may the doctor both came to believe at times 30 thought for the 1st time it was a resenting success the municipality you know, even provides office space, it's handy for people who would have trouble climbing into the bus, which is true for quite a few people here. that toy face has the same problem. as many other rule regions and france, young people are moving away services, an infrastructure and vanish, an elderly people who need help are left behind or in the mobile office doctor de own mistreating a man who is not feeling well at all. the rook will have headaches and sleep so badly. i feel like i'm going crazy. pretty much. she took last. he did go to see another doctor. he says,
12:52 pm
but it's complaints. we're brushed away. the exam here is thorough and, and rushed and ends with the referral to the hospital to be all significant. i'm very happy who both of you did a good job on and all right. have hoped for the future over here. i'm 66 and there are lots of things i'd like to do with my family. it would be nice if i could go camping at the weekend, for example, if i'm on, well, of course that's impossible. people form for that issue. at the end of the day, the deputy mayor stops by the plan is to turn the temporary office. i'm a villa into a fully fledged examination room. it makes sense because it's unlikely that the town will ever have a full time doctor again. and the medical bus could also go to other places where its services are badly needed, a tremendous so i can give you about 50 reasons for the shortage of doctors. i conclude it's all very complicated. for most people, it's not something that can be solved quickly. or even in 10 years,
12:53 pm
it's not possible, but if i had a solution, it would go into publication each for now though, so set that idea aside. he'll be on vacation for a few weeks. but at closer to on we'll have to manage without a doctor of us until then. and the 1st appointments have already been filled. charity is one of the cornerstones of the christian faith. archbishop cost back as evangel of the apostolic christian church in the town of edmonton, north london, however, has developed his own method of connecting with his parishioners a knockout punch. for years, the clergyman has been using a boxing club as a means of saving the youth in his trouble neighborhood from a life of crime cost, as believes in the power of working off aggression in the ring rather than on the streets. 5 desantis, eventually bishop of the christian church of face single something to the community
12:54 pm
. what about the cypress used to be to meet this, but some also known as the vaccine vision of the archbishop is a trained focusing coach in 2004 along sites as clerical gt; stock is funded an amateur boxing club to get young people away from the games and off the streets relate to all costs and bad company as well. so i was street wise. i'll go in fights when i was young guy, but my like she's always leave it to within the classify again. fight, then use the discussion my face comfortably as mentioned you those welcome everyone . regardless of the faith on japan, many members here come from disadvantage background. archbishop stuck in police of books and clubs gives them something positive to do an alternative to life on the street. how are you one sided rather by myself being as i angry? because after a session, you can really, you know, you feel like your reaching your goals and your developing yourself and your skills
12:55 pm
. and over time you see that you guys ago, there was a lot of nice crimes and you know, violence in general in this area. but i found a lot of people, especially teenagers around this area. the youth have become involved in not sports like this and in the community and submit them or, you know, like i said, humble stock is funded. the stomach christian church street. and it's the congregations per citing, the minister, the church preaches peace, reconciliation and non violence. so how does construct is reconciled these values with what is a rather brutal sport? how it impacts young people from being actually physically violent industries, crime, knife crime, and they change to a 100. and they typically turn around then that ways that it gets to, to, to use. those are the words here. the young foxes gets a fighting chance in the range and of the streets. that's all from us this week at focus on europe. you can watch more of our show online at dw dot com.
