12:32 pm
only cause approaching can never so he stepped back onto the sidewalk. no, it was sunday to accept when he was shot. and this is where he found his body lay right here. oh, really? sure. to show me. it looked like an execution. your go scar of us, a respect to police reporter was a familiar face on television. yeah. professor, his investigations focused on corruption within the greek police force and the relationships between big business politics and organized crime. basic nice. yes to i always felt it was dangerous. i've done what you kept telling me not to worry about that it got settled because it's likely that your ghost was killed for his investigations. the organization, reporters without border believes the killing was a clear attack on freedom of the press. in their ranking of press freedom worldwide, greece occupies the 100 and 7th place, the worst of all you countries. so he is asked the youngest, got about his mother who have not received answers by the greek authorities into
12:33 pm
the progress of the investigations. and this is one of the factors that have heavily influenced the greasy is uh, uh, rounding at the entrance to the headquarters of the panel, linux federation of journalists and athens. this band or commemorates your ghost car of us. we need journalist 10, our cisco congress, his specialty as white collar crime. he tells us how greece has secret service was involved in press freedom violations. we were inquiring some specific cases or for domestic legislation over legislation with the government, who was more than hoping who's not fussing. he did see what's going on the crime, greece in several articles for the financial times co. congress criticize the fact that the new laws had made it virtually impossible to prosecute money laundering and tax evasion in greece. initially, he said the government tried to pressure the newspaper and hold his report. at the
12:34 pm
same time how congress told us he himself was targeted by the secret service at the same period of time they, while i was on disability with the co restaurant technology, big weekend, we say it had stopped. it looks pretty mental infections with the presence of discoveries made by a co caucus and several other colleagues showed that journalists, the opposition leader and even government ministers, had been wire tapped. the spice software predator had been covertly installed on their smartphones. it was a nationwide scandal. the secret service of mutual talk is government was accused of wiretapping, the chief of staff and nephew, me to talk as was dismissed. the doors con, try on us, works for reporters, united and investigating team based in athens. the journalist here were among the 1st to report on the wiretapping scandal, the dismiss chief of staff. demetrius responded by suing of the journalists,
12:35 pm

12:36 pm
have like a media businessman and politics. it's not unique degree, but actually the fact that we have the wide shopping scandal. we have a motive agenda and we have the slaps. we have the systemic, like, you know, ownership problems. basically, the combination of these factors make the ranking of grease stole. many journalists feel threatened in their work. so doors comes right on. it's often has to fight back his fear. so we don't want to let ourselves be afraid that would paralyze us. we'd stop recording and that's just what our attackers want. if of them in a position with the public and it takes courage to fight for a free press, it, will my life ever be the same? that's a question that elizabeth often asks herself as a ukrainian teenager, she wonder is when she will be able to lead a care free life. again, walking to school, hanging out with friends,

12:38 pm
it's all about switching off and having fun. the physical exertion relieves stress . most of the children are so called internally displaced persons. they had to leave their towns and villages as the russian army approached, like 14 year old elizabeth to cheese from the eastern village of kudos. eve come when she arrived in hard keeping her family sheltered in the metro station for 4 months. but she was really sad the 1st few days for sure, because there was these explosions unfortunately. and it was so loud, although the bombings daunted, just as we were leaving the metro station, lots of stuff. so we stayed on the ground and didn't leave us in the for the after rushes full scale invasion in 2022. the russian army captured large parts of eastern ukraine, like elizabeth to enter family, tens of thousands of ukrainians,
12:39 pm
but west toward tour and hockey, 2 years later, they're still having to cope with air rates and missiles. elizabeth lives in a one bedroom apartment with her 3 siblings, her parents, a cousin and her grandmother. her mother, son, is so were leave, that her daughter can go out and dance this letter most beautiful in these of a to is being done saying for bad 6 months. and our sons, learning to box is also due to at least the 2 of them can have some sort of social life to nobody so much back to that. it was last year for the child on the issue because they was so withdrawn. i was really worried about them is on the go to. yeah, those are by all i shouldn't get of southern ocean in the meantime. war has become part of their daily lives. yeah. so when the bombs exploded yesterday, i was listening to music, you know, put them on the sometimes you out to me what that band was that was from, i tell her it was the nape is so the try. so them to do,
12:40 pm
to she was whatever those explosions from missile defense systems disrupt their days. sometimes they even hear a missile striking or is it possible i'm thinking about getting possible so i just didn't see a future for me. i could see it doesn't mean it's also hard physically and mentally . the large case of how this stuff range and on those of us go lloyd for a little even the young we don't do come back to lessons and they were rewrote in school the 1st time elizabeth came here. things weren't so easy. i remember i was really nervous about coming here because a different group happens except just me soon as i was afraid that would happen again. but they were very welcoming. and i loved on seeing here, or the me always from amy or should i was the training is intended to boost the use self confidence. but above all,
12:41 pm
the dancing and movements can help them rebuild trust. portfolio hand t as well as natalia and her husband alexi demonstrate fully yes. when i need my partner, he put some of his weight on me, so i bet full responsibility, but he is now blind and i can see he has to 1180 degrees to see where i'm needing him. he needs that able to get the 10 digit, what's really, what it's important for dancing as a group or as a couple and for life in general, it teaches you to trust, lead and sense each other's presence with your body. it is also about overcoming your fear is just the stuff the concept seems to be working the source of uh, i feel good when i'm done saying that i like it a lot. and then when i come done, it feels like something's missing to 345. and so you know, there's
12:42 pm
a beta and the others continue to train that to tell you know, alexys dance, cool. with music and movement, they can forget the war. if only for a few hours to at 1st glance, this might look like some kind of potato bud friends of everything or may know that it's a trussel. this particular one is worth hundreds of euros. andrea and mikaela, our brothers, and the whole life revolves around finding m, serving the price, the fun guy, and their hometown of monthly on the dirty, the tool. they have to stay one step ahead of the competition, which does not shy away from using every trick in the book to make a profit. but i will allow us, did you dig it out a little slowly? this is what me kaylee for low san ardo love doing most. yeah. i get i followed by
12:43 pm
the time for that same thing and then the 2 are hunting for trump and evidently the wife truffle season is over. now. argo is sniffing out its little brother, cold beyond kettle, so that's what we got going on. yes, i'm wondering if you have to be careful not to damage quite truffles. taking that because it would cut the value of the precious funky and half the wouldn't again get to a truck. those are much cheaper bianco, a key low costs around $300.00 euro. so neither handle it or a key low of white travel. so you can get 7, even 10000 euro. so what i came there much rare cases are all one domain. no, no. where is it to find it? my little i are going, well, i'm going to essentially was a child me. kelly is for it's for truffles around his number in hometown of monterey only dorothy, yet to his dog. cargo has been at his side for 5 years. a good trouble hunting dog makes for better business, but it also comes with unexpected dangers to be at the window close to all troubles
12:44 pm
are expensive regardless of the time that again, there are some cruel people in the business to see trouble hunting as a war. because they'll stop at nothing wherever them grist, they'll hide poison's meat balls where your car is parked laced with strict name or snail voice, and it's to be canino or politically invading, or they'll poison your dog over money. so no, i mean, and i kind of base on so he stays under cover, which also stops snoops from discovering his secret spots. he keeps them all jotting down in a notebook and on his cell phone. it's a treasure map that the 38 year old wouldn't share with anyone. mckelly sells some of the treasures he finds, but the professional chef prepares most of them at cafe 7. he runs the level of gore. i'm a truffle restaurant along with his brother andre tega. did you find anything about that? that all goes all j. what work was, of course somebody didn't get to the look at this being ghetto. yeah. as for the
12:45 pm
will, where do you find it? i forget it. you might be my brother, but i'm not telling you 100 kilometers away there. unlocking truffles. big secrets at the headquarters of war. bonnie: it's hard to fees trouble. empire. the company has cornered over 60 percent of the global travel market. for years scientists there have been trying to crack the genetic code of the precious function. they to guard their company secrets like a treasure. we're not allowed to film inside their labs. the results of their research are being put into practice at their start truffle land. leaving the guy when were you planning the plans? we bring the roots into contact with travel sport. and then in this case, with a highly prized lack truffle and young, we expose the plans to the sports a week and a year after reporting, we have them check to buy so that i'm not in without a problem. also, an independent office confirmed. so whether the roots and the trump of sports have developed this, somebody else has, i mean, i've been with the,
12:46 pm
let me go and if they have not, i think we receive a certificate thing to like and we can sell that batch. we sort of with some of we can get a truffle in currently, plants over a $100000.00 trees a year area selected for cultivation or equipped with sensors, providing data on so moisture and regulating water supply. once they've grown the black triples, just need a dog to come and sniff the amount. that's what can data and sally do for a living. see needs your car while we connect from 11 in the morning until around 4 pm, unless all this fall, so die, then we're not allowed to have a troubles. was it time? which is the sodium that is physically these cultivated truffle smells just as strong as the other ones we call them up. and that diamond, yeah, mounting is the noise. give them it takes around 6 years for an area planted like this to bear fruits or rather truffles. with this method, the world's largest truffle company can guarantee its supply. demand is high and
12:47 pm
climate change has led to increase the scarcity, the head of the family business is farmers and land owners can also reap the benefits of trouble cultivation, not that difficult process. so he looks the most profitable products in the world. one heck to that's being used to grow truffles. can bring in a 104000 fuel rose diet. yeah. a pro fee. so this black truffle weighs half a kilo and is valued at 600 year olds. it will soon be sold, the customers in the us wasted multiple will most likely sell this travel to someone in new york there. it will end up in a michigan class restaurant where it will be carried from table to table in grated onto the dishes. it's a beautiful, beautiful, delicious, expensive, and the spine or high tech world, still being hunted by the same old symbiotic team, humans. and don't. when we talk about people with addictions,
12:48 pm
we often mean someone who has a problem with alcohol or illegal drugs. but there are millions of people who are hooked on gambling and who lost control over how much time and money they spend in front of slot machines. or at the bedding offices. all to often medical roommates in bosnia has witnessed how the hopes of winning big can destroy lives. that's why the psychologist has set out to help others break free from the grip of gambling. we can't use his real name, so we'll pull him elvia. we can only film him from behind. but even appearing on camera tool is a huge step for him to use l. they have the gambling addiction. the software to get started gradually as in schools. the 15 or 20 years ago was this. after a while i got into debt, i borrowed money from everyone, neighbor's relatives, france, so i ruined my life. my parents lives, my 2 sisters,
12:49 pm
my brother in laws and his kids. as soon as i ruined half my family, it's sufficient as i wouldn't wish it on any one or was it started was thing go both me enhanced because he knows most popular game of chance. then he began betting on the races. there were casinos on spitting shops on every corner here. this is one of the bedding shops. i used to gamble in 2 hours or more every day until i had nothing left well, so 2 hours, sometimes a whole day. at some point you hit rock bottom of the root, so nothing less cameras and nothing out inside the casino is not the state luxury company. finally agreed to give us an interview. they operate casinos throughout the country, but they won't let us film people gambling. this scene is staged.
12:50 pm
the company doesn't like to talk about people of ruining their lives here. they say the real problem is private competition. looked at both the state laundry of bosnia and herzegovina, is the only company in the whole country that's certified as a socially responsible casino operator. and me and my new stuff, none of our competitors are certified, was fantastic. we'll quit and we should encourage our competitors to also introduce certified social standards. and that way we could reduce the negative effects of gambling together for, for the negative impact of gambling is massive. in 2022 gambling generated almost 875000000 euros in the posting yet pro at and t in the a. this is sticky. each adults both in, in news is around one month salary a year to gambling. and that's a conservative estimate. the players are also getting younger, which is almost finishing up. the problem is lack of enforcement was
12:51 pm
a much we have been for people under 18 are not allowed to value the use of the button everywhere you looks like it is. what does the betting shops are full of young people just because he wants to put them lot. experts claim that the typical gambler is a married father. between 30 and 45 years old. finding themselves not spending enough to feed the families. they see gambling as a way around and stuff you've done every day i work with people facing this problem will be to my families in which gambling has become an addiction. what's kind of e stuck with them to see every day i see lives ruined the families corner part for the people living with mental illness as 3 model as me for the start. i'm in town on plan. psychologist tomato ru mitch estimates. there are 50000 people addicted to gambling in bosnia and herzegovina. he's the only don't during the whole country
12:52 pm
volunteering to help them. hardly any one can afford treatment. so the type of blood work, it's the same problem everywhere and then it's an absolute catastrophe. next to split up, allowed to pick up the floor. we don't have enough resources to get a handle on the problem. so that's a nice thing was i think the blue and unfortunately you mind the authorities here have no intention of changing that because the disabilities now at least the advertisement. so gambling to be restricted room which started the self help group 14 years ago. it's still the only one in the whole country, what they need to know mostly every friday, a gambling addiction still holds a powerful stigma. everyone brings a family member along because the families are also in urgent need of support. elvia has been coming here every friday for 6 months. he says it was like being re bone ever since i met him. i've said 1st comes god
12:53 pm
is and the doctor that says it all we have is before i couldn't sleep. i couldn't, heat site was withdrawn, i couldn't really talk. it's not even with my own family. now everything has changed. i've opened up. i can talk to anyone. i feel better. now this is, this is months what tanf and the temptation link is, but he's learn to deal with things. he has a good job and for the 1st time he says he's able to pick just some kind of feature these days. there's an app to track and regulate almost anything in the world around us. and the french town of stuff is the punch was near paris. authorities have decided to let the residents choose how much energy the community spends at night. through the use of technology, the town is able to substantially save costs. however, people here are divided over how useful this app really is. just one
12:54 pm
tap lights up the street and says sheep on twice on the outskirts of paris residents control the lanterns by app dining the nights used to be on all the time or the some facts. and we didn't think about the environment module, but now we've had any deis installed for a few years to do things are progressing. so you were in ecological communities and couldn't get the quarterly to focus on multi point. i think it's practical to be able to get to save money so and when you go home at night and need lights or things, well like it's brand new meal, the way that he said to me, the man who saw the light is olivia. it was it to an engineer working from home and normandy. it started as a bit of a game and his hometown. but now the app is available to around a 150000 people across france. community don't go to in my community and the surrounding area. people had started switching off the lanterns at night to save
12:55 pm
electricity and costs. i thought it was good to rein in consumption, but at the same time as a local resident, i, one of the streets to be bright. and that was the deluxe. it's helping. how do you manage both commitment presented? the retrofitting doesn't take much a receiver installed and the breaker box relays the signal sent from users phones and just like that as light on demand. this saves the district a quarter of its energy costs, and yet not everyone here has convinced me so i can do this. i don't think it's a good idea. is that the default setting is not necessary for you to know exactly what do you want me to come by and switch on the night. so i'm not a big fan which was on with the city officials response is that they regularly consult with the police to ensure that environmental protection doesn't get in the way of protecting residents. brilliant. well, that wraps up today's focus on year of thank you very much. for watching, remember,
