time is address, perpetrate to takes responsibility for his actions. guardians of trees, stock march, 2nd on d, w. the hello and a will welcome to focus on europe. 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, putin ordered his army to cross the ukrainian 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. i'll report a 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. it's still dark as we had towards of div. the city is russia's number one target on the ukrainian front lines were joining and a leak ukrainian drone team. on the left hand side of monitors, we had intelligence that the russians are planning to send in 250 infantry soldiers today to attack our positions. the subsystem while we must stop their attacks with cameron as he drove investors to the stable. if we send our infantry into something

we'd lose on the lots of people before the muslim fish to, thanks to technology, we can prevent this and i was looking some plastic carrying ammunition. we can 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. this with the as their budget 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 commanders been of us that are going to look like wireless. i mean,

really suddenly 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, 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. well, the reason i think, you know, really this war has proven that all the old ideas and strategies for finding a war don't work anymore. medalie i'm gonna do is also to let me, let's get you on that. but the world is watching us and realizing what to still work on it to do more. 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 turn 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 difference. this 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 most nipple, everything from sleeping soldiers, fingers to computer cables or something. let's just go to the cast. we brought down here all right off. they were too scared of the rent, and sometimes a weasel comes by and helps us out with the money. i don't really money into my house. so harmless, at least it's some kind of distraction was 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 bumper

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 unit. so there's 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 sit telling yourself i wasn't boring to find the new one is the current everyone is going to have to fight sooner or later. there's 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 with the best of available in the foyer, evenings one, sometimes i'll call my doctor and ask your high schools doing some more money that 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 ix. cindy. 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 dream, some plans have come to ward his truth in these women and 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 that she signed herself. it's called who, tennessee? oh, good condition. like her most people here come from ukraine is more refugees on learning german in a playful way is just one of the goals. demand is enormous. really gets to a hub and when is that? and now that we've found it, our guten mitzy own. our goal in berlin is to build an integration system for other migrants. and refugees in baldwin says to integrate, to assist you. uh since the call a very important mission for me. yes,

this is the victor gave me some since may 2022. that's a vehicle of a link who had just arrived from the queen. real quickly made friends through the project run by the protestant church. was still concerned about her relatives back home because of us, were you saying that his name and my family is very important to me. i want us to be together, but i don't know if we can go back or when my on the piano more than we get to know . so you're talking about 2 years later, things have changed. no, not to leo wants to stay in berlin with her daughter. volunteering for the refugees is her mission. she's already been to visit her family new, creating a few times. and she's extremely concerned about developments there and do that to him to see if the situation is frustrating. i know we've got no idea when this will end the end. it's very, very difficult. it is,

there should be to get ordinary on the site, bringing with fashion on the inside, and 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. from one day to the next, she had to give it all up and stocked again. for him, yeah, he might serve any my system. my work is basically my life for set of options, but 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

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. this was, it was very hard 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 here in safe. it's hard to look in there. i've seen the area of the con is looking for work. again. she has a top class business education and managed various companies and ukraine before the war. but the 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, you create an ad hoc meeting place for refugees at the time, she was confident you would soon find a good job for me to make something new through friends, you find a space and a shared flat for herself. and her 16 year old son, he's successful at school here. returning to keep is out of 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 fucking, i can do anything. i don't, i don't scare about to do any kind of job. 3 women, 3 stories, one a 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 space. 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'd

drive 50000 kilometers a year. got you. i mean, or is a necessity for recreation to the right of is, is how do you believe this is one of the villages in his parish? 40 residents 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 that according to the many people on speed, i think that the rural areas are less important is or who died 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 shut up for the like that. but then yeah, can you spell out or give us that i can tell gets the church key to an

elderly couple so that 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? oh, now we're alone and need help with is the the villages are empty now. so tales. mission goes far beyond the religious as well that this i feel really challenge me 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 boiled. so whether it be nice to present brings the dollars 15 kilometers away. 54 year old father natural meets with some 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 our own age guy. yeah. printers are all the way. so that's why we're here. these thing you can count on me, tail tries to boost their self esteem with activities like this because i want the young 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 for another one to see what else you, what i said, i'll go in a flood of the harsh reality is the jobs and prospects are a few details, opportunities for he would not keep up the struggle. have you been in vegas shooting out the door so you have to be idealistic, not mine. people, after all, are the reason for the dwindling numbers here that my,

that after the problems that come with them to the people have the power to fix the problem is that of approval, kind of what assume i know it's, i will consider them on 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 for 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 or no clinics could reopen people from 30th. this time would entice more people to special here that seems that can. but above all, those who stayed would have promptly general dentist can even i think they have a right to doctors. i mean, didn't, did it to the evening. j o is celebrating maston. maci on is 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 give them a holding up. the name was li, may not have enough firewood guys, 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 because it would do it as long as someone still lives here and you know, we need at least a glimmer. i didn't get him because he mounted 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. hopeful i will follow his example. norway 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 c to prevented from fuel in 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, of all of them. so we use name, chemicals, water pressure, and very high temperatures. the hot everything has to come together to the cement industry is a key contributor to c, o. 2 emissions burning lighting, stone and kilns release has huge amounts of carbon dioxide debris. 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 start explains

palms. this is the actual c o 2 separation process was 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 $22.00, good, that's available. first, the emissions are cooled in special containers and another chemical was added. and the mixtures rekey 2 to strip 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 type of solution for that to the 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 have been completed. we talked to speedo hoover and then obviously the project director expects the time to hold liquefied c o 2. not only from the region submit files and then also from the church. and danish facilitates, it pulls those we brought by ship as, as the point site. the location offers in the ideal hub that are letting in down here, we're building a tunnel for a pipeline, 270 meters below ground diver daughter. and the pipeline then runs north along the

sea, but it okay, well that's it. and then west into the north sea know from 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 $1500000.00 tons of it. into the seafloor annually sped over to assures us that this is a safe way to store it and shows the rocks as proof. you said, as you can see down here, the space between these wrong middle of the system, the by the same token, the sandstone in the sea battery has some basis all through it to need the who 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 as long as your weight has already gained expedients with injecting. see you too far,

right in the north sea. for 725 years norwegian companies have been expecting 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 some fishes 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 them 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 summit plant team understand the c o 2 they collect will be a drop in the bucket, claim it 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 have been repurposed. that's what designer side doing in milan . in the fashion, the trouble is garbage is increasingly used to create governments. sustainable materials such as waste could be the basis for your next fancy jacket or even a stylish lamp clock or furniture. saving the environment has never looked so good . a horn meadow with an express oh and fresh orange juice. he say the class i can tell him 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 in alternative to using

plastic and they're chic designer objects very much. can we use materials that don't create pollution? i mean, so as not to make the situation where it, that's what we're doing it, but we're gradually repairing the damage. humans have car is done on fox, the 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, literally take the high end until the end design. the attention to materials is one dimensional input stuff, but it's always been that when the set out. so it's a natural evolution to be focusing on sustainable materials and sort of engineering trend talk because we won't be building the materials of each are new, will be growing level modified. they look at a shadow mauricio mantell to you 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 cold air ration, we've made drug, the assistance of each other. nothing does the nature as we are. therefore, what we do is to work with nature for nature and as nature from the bundled 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 haute couture, all without animals or chemicals sustainable and trendy design in italy. it just brings us to the end of this week's edition of focus on you. i hope you enjoyed the show. you can also look up all our reports on dw use, which side, thanks for watching and see you next time the
