and just join us for an exciting exploration and everything in between. this is a video and audio production 5 d w. i hope that you will tune in the hello and a will welcome to focus on your up. it's great to have you with us. this february, march the 2nd anniversary of russia's invasion of ukraine. on the 24th of february 2022 russian president, pushing ordered his army to cross the crane in border. but what russia thought to be a quick victory has become the deadliest will on europeans soil since world war 2.

as the outcome of the war remains highly uncertain, intense fighting of the south east of ukraine has become a daily reality. along the front line near a city such as back moved in a disco, ukrainian army units have built deep dugouts to protect themselves from attacks except when they're out firing at russian targets. all reported visited frontline soldiers adapting to their 2nd winter to ask how much longer they can keep going. and how much electronic welfare has changed. the battlefield is still dark. as we had towards of div the city is russia's number one target on the ukrainian front lines were joining in a leak ukrainian drone team on the nation's on monitors. we've had intelligence that the russians are planning to send in 250 infantry soldiers today to attack our positions with the subsystem while we must stop their attacks with cameras as he

drove investors to the stable. if we send our infantry into something we'd lose on the lots of people before the muslims dish to, thanks to technology, we can prevent this and it was a piece of plastic carrying ammunition. we're going to do our job, most of the spring. i am for snow and ice as far as the horizon kamikaze, drones like these costs just $1000.00 to make it cheaper and available. unlike ordinary artillery shows. thanks to the many drones constantly in this guys. nothing is invisible on the battlefield anymore. with forth again, no one took these toy drones seriously, including ukraine's military leadership. this has changed. soldiers on both sides have learned to fear them. they just put the this liberation for services. unfortunately it isn't. the landscape is covered in bodies. the russians advance over their own dead, and sometimes they even pretend to be dead before them. so we find them anyway.

they seem to be more scared of their own commander's been of us with the wireless. i literally said only there's 2 of them lying on the left hand side, slow down, don't rush, look at the middle of the screen or no, no, no, that's on the target. and what we need is those to look that over there. we need one of you to take over or so the, it's a clear hit to russian soldiers called out in the open, realizing the danger they pretend to be dead. but it doesn't tell me who lives in this week. you know, really, this war has proven that all the old ideas and strategies for finding a ward don't work anymore. medalie, i'm of these also the reading. let's get you on that. but the world is watching us and realizing what to still work on it to do much. so let me look like, what do you mean? what do you and your budget show most just put to us. but this war isn't all just about high tech, with temperatures fluctuating around the freezing point, the recent rain has turned to the road here into ice rinks of our

jeep is just one of many stuck on the wayside, including the best winter tires, make little dis ukrainian artillery unit has dug in nearby. smoot, what would eli must make of it? soldiers ask us laughing. as one of many mice emerges from behind what a musk star link internet terminals, and an age of satellite connectivity. here on the front lines, they're still waiting for an innovation to properly to feed rodents. given enough time, the mice nibble everything from sleeping soldiers, fingers to computer cables, or something. a little bit skeptical to the cats we brought down here, all right, and off they were too scared of the brands. and sometimes a weasel comes by and helps us out with somebody. well, i don't really money into my house. so harmless, at least it's some kind of distraction minutes. 2 months, i don't know what if it's useful enough with russian drones ever present to this guys. this unit essentially lives in this dug out, unless they're out firing

a targets. they spend their time here in their self made bunker to, to see more. yeah. it's a little more as everyone is scared. but most people find a way to get used to those who don't aren't forced to stay here, but transferred to other units. so there is no criticism of those who left some of the men we meet here used to serve in the infantry, just a few 100 meters from russian positions that they chose to come here to the relative safety of an artillery position. the frustration with those avoiding deployment entirely is stronger. so you know, my new points sitting around at home and senior cit, telling yourself i wasn't boring to find the new one. is that correct? everyone is going to have to buy it sooner or later. there is no point in the hiding from the army. i'm sure you learned on the job. and if you don't learn more

before when forgive you your mistakes. i'm lewis, after 2 years of war, many here say the hardest thing isn't even the fear of the board and it's the uncertainty and the distance every day down here, these men watch their children growing up without them. thanks to their smartphones and satellite internet. when the best of available in the foyer, he's enjoying this. sometimes i'll call my doctor and ask our high schools doing some more time. when he got you'll see it saturday or sunday. don't hear you. you'll lose track of time. and no one can say how many more days their country will ask them to send down here. but no one can say one of the ukrainian refugees will be able to return to the homeland in peace. over a 1000000 of them have found refuge in germany. among them are natalia, marcia, and sydney. we met the women 2 years ago after they had arrived in berlin,

each of them determined to lead a life safe from war. we reached out to them once again to find out if their dreams and plans have come to ward his choosing these women to their homeland. you create a link who loves to learn new things, telling the time in german for instance. she's here at the social center for refugees, the chief find it herself. it's called who tennessee on. good mission, like her most people here come from ukraine has more refugees on learning. german in a playful way is just one of the goals. demand is enormous. really gets to how, but uh, what is that and now that we've found it are good to meet soon. our goal in berlin is to build an integration system for other migrants and refugees. and boeing says

to integrate ceiling system or since because a very important mission for me. yes, this is the victor gave me some since may 2022. that's the la copa link, who had just arrived from ukraine. really quickly made friends through a project run by the protestant church was still concerned about her relatives, back home where you send this to me and my family is very important to me. let me know. i want us to be together, but i don't know if we can go back or when my own appear to more than we get to know. so you're talking about 2 years later things have changed. no, not to lia wants to stay in berlin with her doctor volunteering for the refugees as for admission. she's already been to visit her family new, creating a few times and she's extremely concerned about developments there. and do that. that sounds sort of the situation as frustrating. i know we've got no idea

when this will end the end. it's very, very difficult at this should be to get ordinary on the site. bringing with fashion on the inside actually use a tool of a studio. after a long search, she was able to move in here in the autumn of 2023 countries. happy. now, i have 5 months, i have equipment, and now i am almost almost finished doors torch course. so in 2 weeks, i will have an expense in may 2022, her sewing machine was still firing away in an empty portland bakery. in key, masha was a well connected fixture of the fashion circles, with several employees. he, from one day to the next. she had to give it all up and stocked again. for him. yeah, he myers have been in my system. my work is basically my life. the set of options,

i definitely want to keep going for sure. for both sides. that's why i'm trying to look at what so how it's just that i go because i can't do anything. if i turn in the back is up. yeah, it takes all my strength away showing you what i see was a bit of our plans came together. i know with other designers, she's showing her fashion in berlin. her goal is to be able to lift from her work since fleeting ukraine. she has returned only once to bring her elderly cats to germany. it was. it was very hot experience for me to see my friends. they have to stay, they have no choice. i feel guilty because i have better life. i can choose and i hear in safe, it's hard to look into that. i've seen the area of the con is looking for work again. he has a top class business education and managed various companies and ukraine before the

war but things in berlin are only progressing slowly. i work in technology star top uh its uh, barely start out for the cool one, but unfortunately every starts up have they own challenges and problems and sometimes something can go wrong. cassini is 1st portion of coal 2 years ago was a cocktail bar, kathy, ukraine, an ad hoc meeting place for richards. at the time she was confident you would soon find a good job for me to make something through friend, fee, find a space and a shared flat for herself. and her 16 year old son, he's successful at school here. returning to keep as i took the question for now,

the main goal is to earn money. if you don't have a job, it's a really bad thing. it can work with my hands, so i can go to the factory, i can back and i can do anything. i don't. i don't scare about to do any kind of job. 3 women, 3 stories, one of you to choose their own destinies, despite the war and you create to over the past decade, spain's countryside has lost much of its population regions. leg zamora, i have seen villages die out with elderly residents remaining. and the young ones seem to get better life in cities. what is left is known as last by any of oxy or empty spain. this comes as a huge challenge for parish priests too. and yet though he is one of very few clergyman in the whole region, and he has to attend to more than 40 churches all over the area.

town near to in his handful of keys are on their way to one of the 43 churches. he serves the parish priest them at least stay in the spanish province of similar. i drive 50000 kilometers a year. gotcha. i mean, as far as a necessity for recreation to the route is inside the o. v. this is one of the villages in his parish 40 residence a graveyard, and a church, a photographer wants to take some interior shots. the tail schedule is full and he has no time to stare. he moved to at least stay at 29 years ago from the provincial capital of tamora by choice. you could open that up and put in any people on speed or i think the rural areas are less important. after a few years here, someone asked me when i would be promoted when i would finally be sent to the city in the literally didn't understand that i came here because i wanted to be sure to find them. we want to give out a lot to that, but then you can just tell,

i can forget, give us that i can tell gets the church key to an elderly couple. so the photographer can take his pictures, seniors like them, keep the village of the lives of many young people move away. that does it almost everything used to be more humane. right now we're alone and need help with this. ready or the villages are empty now to so tales. mission goes far beyond the religious as well that this i feel like really challenge most restored dignity and quality of life. regardless of each of the independent. we also need to few young people that they can have a future here on the country side, getting and portal support. it really supports in place to be that you know, the not as 15 kilometers away. 54 year old fathered yet to meet with them. young catholics. they come together from the nearby villages to pray and discuss problems

. they loved the region, but many move away and not just for training and education. if that's the tower in the more emigrating there are. so few of us and young people want to be with people road age guy a 10 days or so is the go be a place that's why we're here. these thing you can count on me k o tries to boost their self esteem with activities like this because i want the people to feel more reachable for me that understand that living in the countryside is worthwhile though. because how do you? yes, i feel move away. i'm only thing the distance and to learn a little, but maybe they'll come back one day, you know, to this village or another one of the seats going out. you know what i said, i'll go in. but the reality is, the jobs and prospects are a few details, opportunities for he would not keep up to struggle have

you. is there anything you say that the door so you have to be idealistic? not mind people after all, or the reason for the dwindling numbers here that my, that after the problems that come with them to and people have the power to fix the problem is that of approval, kind of what assume i know is that will consume one of whether it's, i mean, quarter case at least the roads are good and the internet works. meetings are being held online, like the one with the citizens initiative working for a functioning health care system. many of the state runs centers are closed. they want to change that from some of the same as me, because that's the soonest that i, if the doctors here know clinics could reopen to perform 30th his time would entice more people to special him that i would presume. but above all, those who stayed would have promptly general dentists give even i think they have a right to doctors. i mean individual

this evening j o is celebrating madison murphy on his on his own. he simply can't manage the services of all 43 churches, but he is assisted by other priests, and the people here will not give up so easily as we have to give them a for the most low, you may not have enough firewood eyes, but we keep the embers alive to spread hope and then you'll see on if there's no one left click the last one to turn the light or something. but as long as someone still lives here and you know we need at least a glimmer. i didn't get him because he month and in the shop of desperate i'm positive details, the city priest who came to the country wants to stay. he's going against the trend . and many here hope more will follow his example. no way has committed itself to become climate neutral in 25 years. focusing on carbon capture technology to chief physical, the cement factory and brave. it will be among the 1st to store it c o 2 thousands

of meters under the sea to prevented from shielding global warming test x new starter and her colleagues are employing the new technology, steering attention from other european countries. this could also bring a lot of business to no way of these 3 specialists in previous southern norway are helping make their cement plant claimant neutral. they've installed the filter unit next to their cement, kill narrow. they have to learn how to contain the greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide. welcome to the dumb vehicle. we use name, chemicals, water pressure in very high temperatures. the hot everything has to come together today. the cement industry is a key contributor to c, o. 2 emissions burning, lighting, stone and kilns releases huge amounts of carbon dioxide. the pretty big plant is trying something new. if it works,

it could reduce greenhouse gas emissions by $400000.00 tons a year. project director to are going to study explains phones. the actual c o 2 separation process is fairly straightforward because it takes place in the absorber back there. there we remove the c o 2 at a low temperature using an ammonia solution with all of this chemical is able to absorb c o 2 open up to see good that's available. first, the emissions are cooled in special containers in another chemical was added and the mixture is leaky to distribute the c o. 2. it can then be liquefied, under high pressure is a complex process that requires a lot of energy, but the specialist have a solution for that too. she is, most of the energy for the separation process comes from the segments. can we use

the residual heat? so we can divert what would otherwise escape through the chimney and use it for this process. they've been working on building the separation unit for 3 years now, is being financed by the norwegian state. the a space was filing for an entrance storage facility in the spectacular fjords along norway's west coast 12 giant holding tanks for the liquefied greenhouse gas of being completed. we talked to span over of items and then the other half of the project director expects the time to hold liquefied c o 2. not only from the region cement files and then also from the doctors and danish facilities and support those we brought by shit. as, as he point site, the location offers and the ideal hub, the internet. and again, down here we're building a tunnel for our pipeline, 270 meters below ground. and i have your daughter in the pipeline then runs north

along the sea, but it okay, well that's it. and then weston to the north sea. no, for the pipeline will extend over 100 kilometers to see the liquefied c o 2 will then be deposited at the depth of 2600 meters. the plan is to inject some 1500000 tons of it to get to the sea floor annually sped over to assures us that this is a safe way to store it and shows as a rock central. as proof to said, as you can see down here, the space between these wrong middle of the system, the by the same token, the sandstone and the c bed. you have some bases all through it. do you need the, who in the room and this is where we'll store the c o 2 over, died above the sandstone as a 75 meters thick layer of shale. this together, this makes for an excellent, permanent depository problem on that planet. norway has already gained expedients

with injecting. see you too far, right in the north sea. for some 25 years norwegian companies have been extracting natural gas from this. like a gas fuel pumping. the carbon dioxide produced right back into an underground reservoir. nor we use prime minister us gosh to seems confident that his country will be able to help you reach atomic dishes claimant protection goals. we have enough space basically for most of europe, c o 2 for many decades to come. so what we are working on now is to have value chain from industries in europe, that can transport c o 2 1st by ship and perhaps then by pipeline. and then we can pump it down. and we want to make this commercially viable for industry. and this is about to happen, i believe the 3 big some and plan team understand the c. u 2 they collect will be a drop in the bucket claimant twice. but it's their hope that many other plans will

follow suit. theme to begin collecting c o 2 and storing it deep beneath the ocean floor. by the end of this year. did you have a look at your garbage this morning? maybe a bit of waste could as being re processed. that's what designer side doing in milan . in the fashion, the trouble is garbage is increasingly used to create government's sustainable materials such as waste could be the basis for your next fancy jacket or even a stylish lamp, cloth or furniture. saving the environment has never looked so good. a horn meadow within a square, so in fresh orange juice, he say the classic italian breakfast produces piles of waste. that either winds up in the garbage or in milan being dried by the people behind crill design. they turn

food waste into elegant lamps, bows and clocks, and alternative to using plastic and they're chic designer objects. the very much the only thing we use materials that don't create pollution, i mean, so as not to make the situation where it has to do on it. but we're gradually repairing the damage humans have car is done on foster orange, peel and used coffee powder is made into a brand new there. material strings of which are then fed into a 3 d printer to build low relatively take on high end italian design. the attention to materials is one dimension per stuff. it's always been that we can do so it's a natural evolution to be focusing on sustainable materials. it's not a box spring trend profit, cuz we won't be building the materials out of each year. we'll meet growing them, manufacturing. what can i? chevy. mauricio, montague, in his company most who have developed this textiles. it looks and feels like real leather. it's made for mushrooms or more precisely my celia,

which usually grows underground. we literally grow materials and products that thanks to a negative goal, the ration we've made drug assistance, which are nothing does the nature as we are. therefore, what we do is to work with nature for nature and as nature from the bundle networks that looks like most of material is produced, that by the end can be a natural alternative to foam or leather. from high end sound proofing panels to mushroom leather, even too expensive hotel tour all without animals or chemicals. sustainable and trendy design in italy. and this brings us to the end of this week's edition of focus on, you know, i hope you enjoyed the show. you can also look up all our reports on dw use which side, thanks for watching it. so your next time the
