3:32 pm
january, when the self proclaimed authorities and friends in history imposed a band on mol, dubin farmers bo me since 2006. it's now the 3rd or 4th time that this is happening yesterday, a soap opera, water. it happened before that we didn't have access to our land and couldn't work it for 2 or 3 years. this imagined the difficulty of starting from scratch again near the 0, the organs, and valentina as children left mold over years ago. they are on their own as they try to prepare the land for a full harvest, but they don't know how they will do it. there is no hope that god, that we're old. now, all our children laughed to spot. this. why do you think they left? just because of the situation here, thought that situation began more than
3:33 pm
3 decades ago. mold open forces for pro russians separatists in the early 19 ninety's most go, has russian troops stationed in frozen history, ever since a defacto state? not recognized internationally, but supported by russia. more goldens like yours and his comrade valerio, folks touring that's for now. they are worried that things will get worse. again the trip up a lot to need for the population here. freedom of movement is prohibited with the exception of the ferry moving goods across this region. is forbidden, as well as always, freedom of expression for the buck who experimentally built into this this ferry is crucial. it let small buildings get our own strengths and these 3 and border controls we used to river the vice small duel. but from the break away
3:34 pm
region except for a few more opened in place. this is because your in valerio's say it's only a question of time for rush, you to use trans, mr. you to attack moldova. as long as some people are concerned from food and you can expect anything today, he can say one thing, tomorrow he can do another we don't have permission to film into separate his control trends and his trend regent. russian soldiers who are officially on a peacekeeping mission, keeper watch. but they are pro russian voices in more dove and controlled in place to. so i'm here, open the and doors for to see will protect us of maybe increase our pensions because we're getting little money here is that we want to be with russia. they help us from a how you the mold open government, however, wants to steer moldova towards the you. they say russia has been trying to
3:35 pm
destabilize moldova. and they said in unity, introduced customs for goods from trans, nice tra, is necessary. will make fun of cuz he puts it equal i'm not denying the fact that the economic situation in the trans mystery and region is bad. i use the model. the is not the one to be blamed for that. it is not because of ukraine. always. ok. yeah. you see it's bad due to the consequences of russia's aggression against ukraine, the ugly, to now who certain go to about crazy. the organ valentino say, there is no real stability for them as long as the conflict with the separate to present. but no one here knows what a solution might look like for the people on both sides of the news to river or what plans most go has for the region. they were off to italy now where torres visiting the city of bologna. uh, what we meant by red containers right at the old city center. and at 1st glance,
3:36 pm
the eye catching structures looked like a piece of contemporary art, but they are actually there to protect passers by. and the city's most popular monuments, the towers of getting send and seen, they leave these impressive structures. have been the symbol of bull on yeah. for centuries, but now they are facing a serious threat. gravity to 900 year old towers. sustan's slanted in the city of bologna. they've always been anything but straight . the larger one, tony, as the natalie is 97 meters tall. it's smaller siblings. they've got these in the tower tops out at just 48 meters and leading sharply. now there's real concern, the towers may collapse up with us and such as your locals have a bad feeling about it. it's really painful to see such an important historic monument in such a poor condition with someone. you know, i've lived here many years and over the course of time,
3:37 pm
i've seen the tower tilting further and further. you tell me it's a really important symbol of fun. you. we help with my stay that way and won't have to be torn down a step to ensure that doesn't happen. the city council has even brought 70 year old engineer and that fail opportunity out of retirement. the expert on both towers. she leads the restoration committee. she's headed to the construction site together with her colleague phillip beaufort allow me, but only knows there are 2 main reasons why the tower is thinking it's suffering from a disease. it's had since birth. it was so bad. could we that a 100 years after its construction was started when it reached a height of 60 meters, 12 meters has to be taken off because it was already starting to lean muscle. yeah . and since then, it's selling a foundation that supports the $4000.00 ton tower,
3:38 pm
has continued to crumble the area around the tower, it has been cordoned off in norman's. containers were set up right in the center of the old town homes. i never assigned to the committee recommended, we set up this double stock of containers. they've been studying the towers for years. so let's say that, did we see this is how we're attempting to protect the surrounding buildings and the people who continue to pass by here, take on seeing what that honestly thought alice, the concrete anchors hold the containers down, steal nets, or to be added to protect the church and the bigger tower. the city's historic center has become a permanent construction site. there have been rescue attempts before, during the 19 ninety's engineers used on air and rings to secure the tower. and in
3:39 pm
2021, the foundation was reinforced with steel cables to prevent further cracks. oh boy, bullying. we ought to observe the structures here and read it here. we end here to this is exactly a little space. so there are gaps in the walls, thickness. he's got a goat that has the burden transferred from the walls above has cost an overload. so the phase is less resistant. until recently, the tower had always tilted towards the east, but that changed in may 2023. suddenly the pendulum showed 20 goodies and was leaning towards the northwest 2. nobody really knows why this is where the pendulum is. is the most visible instruments in the tower. so meet that it starts at the tip and hangs down to here is what up with the measurements the towers movement. i mean,
3:40 pm
thoughts are measurements system and shows how much is moving in the system. i think these are what i can do that can be defined as the tower is the moment, sir, and it's always been a moment. the one there are also acoustical and optical sensors as well as a gpi system at the top of the tower. it is likely the most monitored monument in italy in course the install. so know most of the state of the tower is very closely observed. at least we continually check data from the sensors, which deliver information on every movement of the tower in real time. the planned reinforcing and renovation work is expected to cost 20000000 euros and continue for a decade to keep the tower standing for the next 900 years. the people in britain are facing the worst economic situation in decades with effects of brags the cobit pandemic, and
3:41 pm
a staggering place. and more and more people are forced into poverty shop lifting as seen by some as the only possible way to get necessities for themselves. and their children and leaves a fire on mcknight is the person in the shop owners turn to when they need help to ramp up security. she is familiar with the sheer desperation that leads some to feel and understands the need to make store as a safe space for the whole community. of the shots listing in england is at an all time high. the entire shelves of strips bare as if it were given. many shops are facing bankruptcy. at some point, farrah make not have enough. she now fights again, shoplifters with a start up that helps storekeepers wishing to protect themselves. feeds plunder here in small corner shop. almost failing. it sometimes gets fine. he
3:42 pm
shows us what happened last week. an elderly woman had to be brought to safety behind the cash desk. i just of course, but it is nice. so to my customers, you know, there's good. yeah. so yeah, at that time is very whatever, but it's interesting that i so, so you know, farrah has been advising him for years about the technology to use and how to handle dangerous situations. like this one. he kept these these tendencies made yeah. so age has gotten rid of the person out yet, and that's what his priority is. and he does something really well. if the police show up at all, it's usually hours later, fer, it ensures that the surveillance videos are registered afterwards and charges are filed. she knows all the tricks because she was once a shot, withdrew herself. before she turns 18, she came up with the idea of making
3:43 pm
a business much later when she saw so many shops at the close as a result of mobile people, they rely on these communities and schools to be on the doorstep so they can get the mail and they come on, some of them comp travel miles. and you guys think of this as you know someone is going out, you just say, yes, i can tell you, well sir, it sure is as low as on the shelf me say can one thing kind of mouth so that the silver crystals is going to be solar, mainly stealing bread, milk and baby food plate, and claiming that on insurance doesn't help farrah points out to women who she says are stealing for their children. this is basically it's wrong to do this, but there is helping support here and available to you. but it's not that simple. social 8 organizations have closed in many places because communities have financial issues. there are many reasons for the brakes. it,
3:44 pm
which has contributed to runs and living costs is one of them. and the other is years of tory austerity policies. often, all that remains is promoted. as here in sheffield, the upbeat behavior is merely a fin facade, the crumbles. as soon as we start to ask questions, cause people to, to feed the family. the cause of all should do we all. and the see this thing got ya, suicide is right. i have on at least 5 people died in this last 12 weeks, 5 people to tune from suicide. so with all the phase as well, telling use all every day, are you going to be able to pull your food on the tables are going to put the heat when it's being cold is, as is not just me. but what, you know, the furnished differential being doing some i'll buy for some reason the english
3:45 pm
won't microsoft in many places. those coming to the rescue are the people working on their own, like helen shop may look like any on the 2nd hand store. but there's far more to it, it's shelters the homeless and distributes food for people in need. those who have meeker funds can buy a jacket here for a few pounds. helen helps every one with decency and loads of respect. and you call you people any hope kind of you a call in so outlook is gonna allow us to 6176 on the side of what we 5, i'm going to show you will be fine at some point we'll get over it. so just go to a muddle through the state, but we've never seen proper time like this before. no, no. and it's not just the jobless. we're poor. zoe is a social worker, but her pay is by no means enough to provide clothing for her children. and then she tells me when you got people coming in and stuff like that,
3:46 pm
the after her children's father stole her heart or, and pay, she threw him out. since then she's been raising them on her own. sometimes she needed to steal, especially when they were small. and i'm not gonna lie. i didn't get enough face and because i couldn't afford, no, she was and she says the knowledge that there was no long term way out is difficult to bear. you trying to swim before and but there's a time coming in and on with that each time and you can't seem to be swallowing the water at the same time. but then also you're trying to stay. i am on to me were just knowing that i've got the kids. if i'll often associate with the kids, i've seen kind of drowned just not zoey's. children are aware of her situation. they notice she often doesn't teach so that they don't go to school hungry. lucas
3:47 pm
sometimes feels guilty about it. i would like ask her if she want, if you like, wants anything to eat. and if you eat unit, which um, sometimes i was concerned about that. but then also should be in the middle of a fitness the government's support has banished from people's lives. so those in need find their own way to fill the gaps as best they can. fair often brings a colleague to show shop owners how they can protect themselves better. because more and more poverty is being exploited by organized crime. like that and go ended i and then what happens that escalates and escalate, people get move island and not because they believe they can get away with it. helen says this is a side effect of increasing impoverishment defects. i think we're kind of this to,
3:48 pm
to pop up somewhere while it's victoria and draw man, we got kids with housing, the clothes and house and the choose. yeah, we receive that. now. britain is one of the world's richest countries. but instead of hope for the future, it seems, but many here are on their way back into the midst of britain's dr. passed. many couples who want to have a child would do almost anything to fulfill that dream. unfortunately, women in poor social economic circumstances are sometimes exploited by criminals to make that dream come true, the greek island creed is still grappling with the aftermath of a scandal that rock the community. it all revolves around the very controversial subject of surrogacy. a fatality center incorrectly in
3:49 pm
the dreams of dozens of childless couples are contained in these tanks, eggs and embryos frozen at negative 196 degrees celsius. the director of the genesis fertility clinic says some of them will be carried to term by surrogate mothers. quite legally. we do a lot of so good. uh, but uh, we always advise the people to bring their own so their own. so that means a sister, a friend and mother. contrary to most of the european union, surrogate motherhood is allowed in greece as lawyer maria pop, a donkey explains, but it remains an exception and it's not meant to be a business model. is allowed is offering this services only senselessly only for us to
3:50 pm
waste and not for money making because if you make money through this business, then the crime will show month rate is very close. yeah, that's exactly what happened on the greek island of creek. and on a grand scale, the journalist, finding nico foot aki has researched a number of cases. she took us to a holiday village on the islands west coast, where dozens of surrogate mothers were housed until they gave birth from a homeless that they were a gift here in an absolutely controlled environment. as they didn't have to take care about and the sinks they are when, when mainly from my george. yeah. remain now more, dave? yeah. and after a delivery, this amount of 810215000. this was
3:51 pm
the payment sort of then the scandal came to light in the summer of 2023. the tranquil port of honey. i was rocked by police raids and arrests. a gynecologist who turned out to be the head of a criminal organization, was arrested. accused of human trafficking. more than 100 women from very poor backgrounds are thought to have been lowered to this private clinic. to be surrogate mothers nicki foot aki has found out that couples from all over the world paid up to $120000.00 euros for their dream child. now closed the clinic is no longer making millions from the surrogacy business. but nikki foot, aki strongly believes that there are other cases still happening today. steve and markets exist because there is the need for gap and still have babies. and the
3:52 pm
top is martin's more huff problem. so we say for see the problem, she says that the greek authorities have not clamped down on a legal surrogacy and human trafficking. there was not enough. did they say out of supervising for these process taken care or this monday or these women coming on the exceeding the country. so i believe that it was hypocrite us, a local doctor is like my know, these kind of the talkies are concerned about this kind of medical tourism. he explains that surrogate mothers sometimes look after newborns and intensive care at the state hospital of honey a. he says he was shocked by the behavior of some parents to be we saw them. sometimes. a lot of times they took the baby and they went away. is not the box, it's a it's
