home to over 2000 whales. there under threat shipping traffic has become a deadly danger for the wells time. and again, there are serious accidents such a big case. there have been cases where the bill of the ship has collided with the vin well, or sperm. well, some of those at the home. don't even notice. take this photo. a cargo ship wound up in a harbor like this sole. and nobody noticed that the crew spotted something sabina and her assistant, mario suspect it's dolphins. they try to get closer. they're coming up there. the

some of the calls that we found things in recent years that we have not seen before . the spirit of viruses, bacteria and pathogens from the mainland, considering where they should be instead. concerns is a great deal on extreme flooding like an amelia romano last summer wash as passages from fertilize fields into the sea. these land based pathogens are a great threat to the immune systems, a marine mammals mario just 1 o'clock. i saw something i think i saw something, a brass at a breach. if sabina has spotted us in, well, it will have to surface again to breathe after about 10 minutes. once at that, how long has it been? 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 whale before. it's wonderful to connect with an animal that's so much bigger than you are on it's dorsal fin 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 subsidy. what i call you back at the port of san remo, sabina, idaho. the wants to evaluate all the new data as soon as possible to share with researchers at the university upon to us the central set up 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. and if you have the blown russia has stopped paying for the great sides yet there are people like jump. yeah, a month. and then i will in ski who are determined to preserve this piece of russian cultural heritage. oh is quite your concern to you and if you did, why old graves? melancholy air be unavailable. lensky is one. a few regular visitors here. 73 years old. she's a descendant of russian aristocrats who fled to the west in 1917. to escape the

communists. 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 fields like ours mobile landscape, grandparents went by a turkey and hungry. her parents, surgeon irene, came to paris in the 19 thirty's culture. so could you, they just said, this is our family. i was kind of the time you were a risk to crowds. i'm a member of the 34th generation dba lensky is have been around since at least the 10th century. we always held important state positions and we're part of the aristocracy. this actually they're not the only note where the people buried here. john pier lamont is an expert on the cemeteries history. the vocal for you to come on, i'll show you a gray. if you made up all 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 lead, 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 to clean on. so $150000.00 russians emigrated to france around that time, that ever since russia's invasion of ukraine, the cemetery has gone even quieter. russian tourists 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. whenever 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 has no ration

in a spectacular move. sophia ballet, dancer, and coy yaga for rudolph new reyes defected to the west in 1961 the digital touch we didn't done get them 1st like this. so can you for a long time. i used to spot an elderly lady sneaking around his grave though he said done my prayers. then i found out that she slept on a tough night. it took me to sort. i don't know. that's unbelievable. who do you think she was looking for them at the wardrobe assistant? the old cemetery of santa john, if you ended, why? with so many stories to tell. and a rich history just a few months have passed since the military and missouri by john began it's offensive against people of armenian defend living in the region of not going to car buff, although ethnic armenians had been living there for decades. as or by john, re establish control over the embattled territory. i partner and 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 or by 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 as erie armenian front lines today job years. so my dog and his team are looking for unexploded minds, a life threatening task. now me, yes, we have seen several die soldiers on of the military personnel to the facility. and

even the way to the toilet must be carefully marked we as clearly the minds armenians, azerbaijan, as well as the area we are currently clearing, was contaminated by our enemy modem instead of a number of my left side of most of them. which means as of now, these areas are infested with minds and that same i lost you. tell me, let me, let me, let's just let us do after. so that's when our chaperon interrupt. she takes issue with summit dogs wording and then we don't say enemies. we say separatists armenians are not our enemies. we don't see them as enemies. smoking, sugar says the minnesota 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 by showing the government wants us to hear we have that on the road. not door, no camera above is located on the other by johnny 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 alongside all of that. construction sites as a buyer's own, 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 the cool knocked into 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. besides the apartment,

she was incidentally also provided with work as a truck driver, courtesy of the government. talking to neighbors of cam 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 i advise you on, especially when it comes to now going to cover the 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 r, and he fixed the next time will bring you and your family in and will torture them before they also told me how will rape your mother fare via since the war as a 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. the 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 sport. oh, lots really nice. that's what it just makes us happy. i think i'm so i really what

exactly makes this ice cold escapade so special? we took a trip to bell 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. it's 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, breathe deeply in and out and make sure your breathing becomes regular. it's almost like being married. the past time might said southern european jewels chattering, but here up north, it's a tradition. it said 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 rica. the ice here is dick and ships of it could really hurt. and it's why men from the polar bears association spend hours preparing the swimming spot for fans of extreme temperatures, mostly to actually fill out this. 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 it feels great. it felt that the best value for us,

but he just did i say anything is meant to be beneficial for your health. when you jump into cold water, the body's vessels contracts. when you get out, they expand again, increasing blood flow, which then boost the immune system. i. swimmers reportedly get colds 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. so 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 or 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. us 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 and the hearing now. every day. i, as we're teaching them to seize all opportunities in life and not be afraid of anything risk. so it is especially not the frozen lake where these cold, rushing through z is going to have plenty of fun. as long as the ice stays thick enough, i'm getting good. loves just watching them. well, that's it for 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 so much for watching and out next time the
