9 minutes there it is. it is a fin, well, almost 20 meters long even though it's a wonderful feeling. i've never seen a wheel before. it's wonderful to connect with an animal that's so much bigger than you up front of the store. so fan, a scar, possibly from a fishing line or a ship's propeller. the creature appears otherwise, healthy kids, even after hundreds of times, it's always the same great rush of feelings at the start of course. but then the researcher in me comes through. i know i have to collect data stuff back at the port of san remo. sabina idle indeed wants to evaluate all the new data

as soon as possible to share with researchers at the university upon to us. and she'll set off again to protect the whales of the mediterranean. it's almost 2 years since russia launched its full scale invasion of ukraine. european countries, including friends, have since then imposed heavy sanctions on russia. the war is also affecting a russian cemetery and the parisian suburb of sands interview, the bomb. russia has stopped paying for the great sides, yet there are people like the jump here, hold a month. and then i will lensky who are determined to preserve this piece of russian cultural heritage. oh, is quite your concern to you, and if you did want old graves, melancholy air, be unavailable. lensky is one of the few regular visitors here. 73 years old. she's

a descendant of russian aristocrats who fled to the west in 1917 to escape the communist. she visits her parents great every couple of weeks. well, the people who are buried here are part of our country's history, digital materials and just like any other feels like ours mobile lensky is grandparents went by a turkey and hungry, her parents. surgeon irene came to paris in the 1930s coach. so could you, they just said, this is our family. i was ton of the time you were a risk of crowds. i'm a member of the 34th generation. the berlin schools have been around since at least the 10th century. we always held important state positions and were part of the aristocracy this year. actually they're not the only note where the people buried here. john pier lamont is an expert on the cemeteries history survey vocal for to come on. i'll show you the gray if you made up know of the belong to

you super who killed influential preacher, grigori rasputin. he was married to the niece of sar nicholas the 2nd to do, or many members of russia's former leads, found their final resting place. as here, you're the only one on the well known figures, such as tar kosky, the famous film anchor high ranking military painters and writers were laid here. the clean on. so $150000.00 russians emigrated to front surround the time that ever since russia's invasion of ukraine, the cemetery has gone even quieter. russian torres often used to come here and when there were no more defendants to do it, russia pay to maintain the graves. this has been suspended. a french association maintains around $600.00 graves. when we get, we have a moral responsibility with as it's piece, the cemetery is no longer a spiritual place. check grave should be a place of prayer. of all the prominent figures. however, one gray of attracts particular attention. this is no radiation

in a spectacular move. sylvia ballet, dancer, and coy yaga for rudolph new reyes defected to the west in 1961 the zip code was in dunn get them 1st like to talk to you for a long time. i used to spots an elderly lady sneaking around his grave. beautiful. you said done my prayers, then i found out that she slept on that night in simple dorm, just sort of. no, that's unbelievable. who do you think she was speaking to them about it as a wardrobe assistant? the old cemetery of santa john. if you have did, why, with so many stories to tell and a rich history just a few months have passed since the military in missouri by john began it's offensive against people of our mean and defend living in the region of not going to car buff. although estimate armenians had been living there for decades,

as thereby john re establish control over the embattled territory or puerto travel to the region which has been completely deserted, to find out about plans to fill it with new life on the winding road to now gore no car above to travel here we need special permits from the government of us have i shown ready for inspection at check points like these foreign camera crews are not permitted to move freely here. and as a by johnny chaperone drives the head. but it's plain to see. 30 years of war have left a mark, mines and munitions still litter the ground. nearby, the old, eerie armenian front lines to day job years. so my dog and his team are looking for unexploded minds, a life threatening task. now we have seen

several time soldiers and other military personnel to the facility. and even the way to the toilet must be carefully marked. we as clearly the mindful armenians as the by johnny's were a sofa. and when we area we are currently clearing was contaminated by our enemy modem instead of the number of my left side of the screen as of now, these areas are infested with mines in that same are last you come on me, let me, let me, let's just let us do after so that's when our chaperon interrupt. she takes issue with summit of wording and then we don't say enemies. we say separatists armenians are not our enemies. we don't see them as enemies. smoke any sugar says the mound. zip up to a letter from the mines were laid by armenian separatist forces incarnate by some of them. most of the flooding in a little of them. is it too?

well that makes the wonder? are we going to get honest opinions? here are just with the, as a budget on the government wants us to hear we are that on the road not door. no. colorado is located on the other by showing the territory, but it was historically inhabited mainly by armenians. in the 1990s, armenia took military control, and many other series had to flee. now the tide is turned up by john rich from oil and gas, put the brake away, republic under seas before recapturing it, leading to the displacement of 100000 armenians. places turned into ghost towns. there are some we can't even visit along side all of that. construction sites

as a by zone is building apartments for a series. like is my username. i know if she takes us into his new home where he re settled with his family a few weeks ago. we'll go from uh, this is the kitchen, the dining room in the kitchen. 3 rooms, bathroom balcony, gifted to the family by the government, as compensation. they say both originally from here that had to flee in the ninety's. but why would they so keen to return upon a locked in the inbox who we lived in public housing? we didn't have a real home that we always said them one day. we would return both. i've lived as refugees in childhood. do they ever think about the recent armenian refugees? i have not know why should i think about them? and you think about my country, my fatherland,

was all this sulaiman off isn't exactly empathetic, you know, besides the apartment, she was incidentally also provided with work as a truck driver, courtesy of the government talking to neighbors. all kind of gives us a different picture though. yes, the apartments are great, says one, but there are hardly any jobs. critical voices are few and far between and as of asian, especially when it comes to now going to cover. but they do exist. we conducted this interview without our chaperone our interview. we speaks out online against the war policy and asked to remain anonymous. his posts saw him interrogated by secret service on several occasions, even receiving beatings. his art needs to fix the next time will bring you and your family in and will torture them the fight. they also told me how will rape your mother fare via since the war as the by zone and armenia have moved cautiously

towards normalizing relations. talks of prisoner exchanges and a peace treaty are in the air. but the mistrust is still possible, as is the fear of renewed violence. and now we'll take you to lot to the in the western part of the country lies the bell galler parish. and this place offers the perfect conditions for one of luxury as most popular winter activities. here you can already see the equipment needed to prepare for something that is meant to be good for your health. but a viewer be warned. this is not for the faint of heart if northern europe's day like beauty ever gets to a deal like for you, break a hole in the ice and take it dipped. ice bathing is lucky a signature winter's board. lots really nice. so what that just makes us happy,

i think i'm say we really what exactly makes this ice cold escapade so special? we took a trip to ball gala in western lafayette to visit 33 year old center today, mana, for 3 years now. she's been beating outdoors once a week, whether temperatures are above or like now below freezing. first, the whole needs to be cleared. at minus 10 degrees celsius, it freezes over fast. then it's time to hop into the cold water. today, 84 year old grandmother australia is here for adept. she's a true veteran. the extreme experience can last up to 10 minutes the how is the cold even bearable? like so? yeah, you're the only the 1st step into the cold water. you get a shock. you have

a hard time breathing so your 1st task is to get your breathing under control. to concentrate, breathes deeply in and out and make sure your breathing becomes regular english and feel like being married. the past time i've said southern european jewels chattering, but here up north, it's a tradition. it's at the vikings practice. i speeding over a 1000 years ago. now a days, thousands of not beings go swimming outside in winter, including in the delegate the river in the capital riga. the ice here is dick and ships of it could really hurt seats. white men from the polar bears association spend hours preparing the swimming spot for fans of extreme temperatures. mostly the next week walters. this is typically lafayette because we lot fans are used to rough winters, and that's why we aren't thought squared if the cold, via doctors and cold water isn't anything unusual to us moves no,

and the cost of it. we go bathing in the cold and that feels grace. it felt that the best way to us, but he just did i say anything is meant to be beneficial for your health. when you jump into cold water, the bodies vessels contracts. when you get out, they expand again, increasing blood flow, which then boost immune system. i. swimmers reportedly get cold less often than people who take hot showers. a little warm water at the end doesn't do any harm though, but seem to drain, mano says you must learn ice bathing and someone has to inspire you to do it right and soccer sale. i started as a child and i used to listen to my grandma's passionate stories on how great it was, how much energy a gave you and what a nice feeling of freedom you get from going bathing in the winter. so it's kind of magic and it's like our phone lines. the skin especially when she gets to warm up

in front of the fire. her husband has started their children, emilia rudolph, and rain as don't go bathing in the winter. instead, they walk barefoot through the snow. the families loved for the cold keeps them strong, especially now in these troubled times. that's going right to the wrong is, and we're teaching our children to enjoy life in the here and now every day. right, as we're teaching them to seize all opportunities in life and not be afraid of anything risk. and so it is especially not the frozen lake where these cold russian tuesday is going to have plenty of fun. as long as the ice days thick enough, i'm getting who loves just watching them. oh that's it before today's that isn't on the focus on your premium, but you can always find out stories and reports on social media moves. so thank you
