of the supply chain process, all that massive, illegal leather stats may stood on d, w. the hello and welcome to focus on your of the thank you for joining us today. my name is, let's show. russia is intensifying its attacks on ukraine, which is the cause of tension in neighboring finland. the country shares along border with russia and joined tomato last year and security among the finish population has been growing even in the capital city, helsinki. finland is prepared for the worst case scenario with bunker is like this one here, available to offer safety. but in the meantime,

some of the shelters have been put to a quite surprising and creative use. they currently serve as an underground venue for a much more peaceful purpose. it takes just half a minute to reach another world, 13 meters beneath the streets of helsinki, the labrons of tunnels and bunkers under. he'll think he was designed to protect 900000 people from missile attacks, chemical weapons and radiation in the event of war. but that's not all welcome to one of helsinki most popular playgrounds for both children and adults, and it's a hockey field and digital cafeteria and parking lot all would want some people even celebrate their birthdays here. this is a daily life for us and we've been throwing up with having these bomb shelters. so it's not, we don't really think about it. and here's the thing is like filled with,

with under an own under ground world. this bunker in can you meet district is one of should one's largest 2 soccer stadiums which fits in site. so civil defense officer tony brass sites in the event of wars, if the facility can quickly be converted into a fully functioning air reach, filter normal scenario is spent sheltering is the time is required between some hours and some days on most of our shelters. we can make the sheltering period quite much higher block of sheltering period creates different problems. one biggest problem is the heat that one person creates when i create up approximately 100 watts of heat all the time. so is this a problem for 6000 people to live in a bunker like this and an emergency nelson helsinki?

the federal beneath the city is solely granite and nice. the bunker was carved into the underground rock, but is not only sold, but also cool. in the event of war, the large halls can be converted into smaller rooms if needed. so size is that people can lift down here for longer periods, much as they were above ground. they will be people dying, they will be people available, biasing they will be 6 people that will be glad to people that will be sad. people every function and as a normal and society happens within the shelters. finland chairs, the board of russia over 1300 kilometers long for a long time to refuse to join me to the war. and ukraine changed that. the majority of fins called for more protection and greater security. i would say the thing is people have like brothers, this got this boy added to it to the situation. so we know we know that they're

very states risk always it has to be and they're like, seems to be and i'm going to independence. it's realized in the 2nd world war, but unfortunately, right, the bad feeling. and it could happen some day also it does. so we know about that. but if it's something we're like, actively, you know, fear it's, it's something that we think about in our everyday life gets memories, happy to be a weekend of what is known as the winter war. when finland fought against the soviet union from 1939 to 1940 finland emerged from the conflict with its sovereignty and tact, but paid a high price and casualties and territory. the peace of court, known as the treaty of moscow marks of dark chapter and relations between the 2 countries. this monument in central helsinki commemorates the sacrifices of the winter war. during the conflict,

finland passed its 1st civil defense lot even to the old public buildings and private buildings over a certain size must have a shelter as though some interest in total. i think he has more than 5000 a year. we'd shelters with winds for almost a 1000000 people the we do. i was hoping that if we have a really well name will be deuced stay where we need to do it. so history has been shown us that it is possible, and when something is possible, it might happen. and the people of helsinki want to be prepared and protected. 13 meters deep in the bunkers didn't use their capital. the opposition in turkey is celebrating. it's big win against him. park is president or the one he was not on the ballot in the recent local elections, but i list see the election results as an indication the voters are increasingly

rejecting. are the ones policies, especially the turkish economy, has suffered greatly with inflation currently at nearly 70 percent. then sir goods is among those affected by the shy prize and the cost of living. she's hoping for a better financial future for herself and for those paying to be entered teen by her to the belly. dancing is goos. primary source of income every evening. the belly dancer performs and bars and restaurants and is done book. the art form has been entered training people on the prosperous for centuries. but cool has noticed it's becoming increasingly difficult for guests to kick back and enjoy the show. these days they really think about exactly how many meals and what drinks and how much they'll order it was different before on the weekend. they'd really let loose

but those days are over. traditionally, dances are paid solely by the guests putting money into their outfits this evening . most are giving 100 lire notes. the equivalent of about 3 years. each girl who prefers we use are stage name knows that many can't afford to give more. but there are other problems to the television, the band belly didn't seen on television, which are the are, everything's getting more and more conservative. jessica sooner condemned me the landlords no longer want to rent me because they earn my money, its ability to answer all the people that they say. why should i rent to someone like that? after dancing through the night and appearing in 5 bars. good. can relax a bit when she gets home or with a colleague, she looks back to a time when turkey was more liberal and business was better, fairly dancing,

she says, was it one time a respected profession? already on 10000 down just on the line is that when i was little, the whole family spent new year's eve in front of the tv fascinated and watched the belly dancers walk over. teen mental, these attitudes have an impact on us all in the end of the don't believe it's not just us dancers, but all the women in turkey, cousins on that issue. the country is becoming more conservative with each year that passes in at the same time the economy is slumping, the turkish lyric continues to lose more of its value against the dollar and the euro. pardon the, anyone can afford to go out in the evening anymore. so there are more and more empty tables in the pubs bars and entertainment venue is somebody. we usually check out a few places 1st and then pick the cheapest event or used to go out once

a week. these days it's once a month to continue a price increases for alcohol and $50.00 entertainment sector, particularly the heart of the prices have low to more and more people making their own alcohol at home. to do so much on the go needs to start getting ready for the evening shows. she doesn't know how long she'll be able to continue earning a living, dancing. she gets fewer tips and has more expensive course to me up to use the up to them. my customs get more expensive every month. armstrong, reco, storage. i. the issue that i'm interested in doing the cornerstones and the tailor tells me that the, the dollar stronger can wash the material in the sequence are more expensive. if i were able, i would buy ahead and just stuck up, but i can so the only thing left for good to do is wait for better

times in the entertainment sector. for more recognition and above all or better pay the for people looking for a vacation off the beaten path. this is just the right spot. we tell you and village of co data offers that peaceful get away where one can relax and enjoy nature. it's very secluded and located high up in the italian out. atlanta was middle only is one of very few people who live in canada. so it's always loved the tiny village, even though getting there can be quite exhausting and takes a lot of determination. but to her, that's exactly what makes the place so special. high above lake como lies could there are an isolated village up in the alps. only 9 people still live here, atlanta. it goes mid early and her us the are the backbone of the small community.

there are only 2 ways to get to the village. atlanta it goes middle is preferred route is a 2 hour hike from the valley on the shores of lake como. up 2600 steps. lot of i can get a car and go glad to stress that builds up when i'm down in the valley. mountains away as i climb higher, i have the foot, the good company. that's wonderful. when i get to cold air, i just feel so light then there's the option to helicopter it, costs around $300.00 euro is per flight, though. that's why it is only used when food or other goods need to be transported to the village for herself and the others in just 2 minutes. it all lands and seen it could. there are 824 meters above sea level. there are no roads here. the inhabitants of this small village community are the

last of their kind to live in the alps, the around and such isolation. a davis peas. no. these goats are grazing somewhere up in the mountains. at 45. he's the youngest person here in cordero and is eager for change. here i went the road so that we can keep the village alive fi, so treating it like a magical landscape or a postcard. the 2nd time is not helpful. because living in such seclusion as anything but romantic, says peas, no, the only people who don't have to live here all the time, see it that way. utilities, people to come in for a tour. it sits paradise and thought i'd easily. but i see the village dying replacing morty. what is one supposed to do here? work is 110, and 10. if there was a road you could extract rocks to get what would what they thought, jerry size if with what, how would things get into the valley? boesky like was on our shoulders. like now we met the wave of college because i

followed over and yet debbie's plans to stay here with his goats because he loves the mountains. after the helicopter drops its load, atlanta must carry the food to her oath data, yet no road. no other means of transportation, just her back and forth because i'll follow up on it is strenuous but it's worth it because it also gives you so many fulfilling moments as a matter of given take on. i go on to her or study, i'll be now in the center of the village and to our phones up in only the village elder has spent almost her entire life in cordero around 600 people once lived. here phones has watched the village slowly die out. she's grown old with it . still planning on 15 grand k o. now i'm almost 95. i've never

smoked in mine. do the same thing at all, but i never eat food that to greasy. all the thoughtful cellphones that she hopes to see people return it unless it goes through so that it would be nice if they built the road hostile people fire. there's plenty of space up here by anybody could build more houses and then more people could live here. spivey, i'm ok let's hope the road is built soon. whatever happens out of funds that wants to stay in her home village here far above lake como goose metal. it gets to work in the kitchen at the post. the peanut thanks to the friends of cordero association or restaurant is open all year round and is very popular. she believes that there was remoteness is what makes it attractive. why isn't it upon us? and it's not everyone takes a deep path up here in the mountains,

those who come have a connection to the mountains. and that's what i want on. yeah, they like the fact that it's hard work to get up here. the phone, you have to earn it. we need it, that's what i like about it. i woke up, it was the got you instead of just is the villagers decide they want to road built in last i will respect that no boss, but it would no longer be the place for me. they both so similar, that's what i left so far. there are no plans for a road. so could narrow will likely remain the village at the end of the world for a long time to come. now to a landscape that is quite the opposite of ideal lake, mass of sink holes are swallowing up plots and even grace sides. the residence of the town of to been in southern poland are faced with what looks like the aftermath of an earthquake. but in fact, it was caused by mining sides that were the commission decades ago. this very unsafe region is home to general verify collab check. she's among those who are forced to live with the effects of the disaster.

the student, the sink, holes were so big that entire buildings collapsed just show, but people are afraid for their lives. there are a lot of homes here, have a house like this collapses. someone will die is up, but yeah, fact, you don't make, you know, a nose way. it's still safe should be in a small city and southern poland sits up of a massive cavity left behind by the coal mining industry. and it has gradually collapsing like the giant sink hole in this property, which has been hastily filled in yeah, not yet. sky looks a few houses a week on john paul, the 2nd street. he lives with his wife and son,

for whom the move to the country side. he's very worried. he's trying to hold back into resistible force. you have to and that's it provides you. i've just built in the soil here. i am jo, everything was level here and now you can see that it has sunk again. a 2nd. i'm definitely afraid. no, yeah, i go to bed. i don't know if the grounds will collapse under us. the next morning club is just brought to you and you're going to see if it will be a meet or deeper. could you tell me your bedroom? you're dropping it down or met that or to utilize? no, that should be a coal. mine was close at the turn of the millennium, and since then, the underground shots are filled up with water and stuff in the ground, which is started giving we disagree. the ard was hit in the summer. dozens of grieves disappeared into the sink hole. a great shock. virginia visa colette check or her family grief with

spirits, but she can no longer visit her husband's terms. right. it's hard. my husband died just recently. the all she has left is the food to on her food. and the hope that the graveyard will be restored soon to be near city hall is in a state of emergency. some are already talking about it back to ration marietta, swap a quote, you know, it is under pressure to take action because it gives you a seller's cio. what's on the, when the, we're paying for the mistakes of the past? you know, all of the mistakes made during the underground coal mining phase before the shops were in operation. the consequences were forgotten or ignored of the put salvage center. then when i look at all the documents today is the i believe all of this could have been foreseen who, books of egypt,

a number of properties in the time have been cordoned off. people are not allowed to enter of the stay tuned. company specializes in cleaning up damage caused by the mines. holes are being bored, 17 meters into the ground. the geologists are certain that their method will prevent future singles to submit that. so we're going to fill these cavities with a mixture of dusty cement and sand to eliminate the possibility of the land to thinking in the future. so i'm going to guess cool. thanks for the purpose of letting me we will continue doing this until we are confident that the area is safe for everyone to stay with. it will be valid by just 7 years, but that is our goal. and that is what we're going to achieve. the provide you types like these ones that being some concurrent everywhere, and should be new and thousands of cubic meters of cement being poured to fill the cavities. the mere hopes that will help he feels it's the duty of the publish date

is let me have them on government, show me off the sure. mean, i have no intention of using the cities resources to solve the problem is up and over, which we had no influence on the consequences of which we are unfortunately suffering . now good and wish me, but i cannot for you. but a few days later, the grown caves and again, here's bread from an apartment building the residence of should be near, continue to live in fear on average, women live longer than men. but these british ladies did not want to grow old alone . and so they took matters into their own hands and came up with a special housing project in north london residence must meet 2 requirements, they should be women, and over 50, over the years, the place has become a home for a true community and the friendships we set out to meet the senior citizens who are

saying no to isolation and yes to living life to the fullest us. and joining day to day life together, heavy, ardent, and charlotte valesh, i'd love to meet up in their shared garden. we will share this desire to be part of the community and you know, especially when you get to my age, i didn't go walking as much anymore. it's not for everybody, but i think it's wonderful. it's been wonderful for me. there are 26 women over 50, living in new ground, co housing in north london beach has her own apartment. but there's always someone around in the communal lounge to chat with at $94.00 heavy arch into the oldest. she joined 12 years ago after her partner passed away. and i didn't want certain that to move into a new sort of residential facility. and at the same time,

i realized that my daughters with going to worry about me all the time being on my own. and then i began to worry about my daughters worrying, and i thought it was time to look around for some tentative way of living. there must be something it took 18 years for this vision of a small housing estate to finally become a reality. the founders have to fight against a lot of bureaucracy and against the misconception that so many older people in one place could overburden the social and care services by avoiding isolation and supporting each other. i think we've probably, well, definitely been less of a button on social services. then we would have been if we'd each lift on our own heavy arch and can easily pop over to visit her neighbor or hillary vernon smith, an artist. oh ma'am is looking

for both women, it's reassuring to know that someone is always around in case they need any help to change. and i think as i age i, if i'm going to help out other people, i think it slightly easier to help women than it is to help my male friends. and. and women are a much more need of housing as i get older than men. certainly in my generation, it was the women who usually lived longer than the men, so were left on their own. men are certainly welcome, but only as visitors we have lots of miles visitors. we have brothers, we have grandchildren. and you know, we have gotten into a mile where you, so we have a lot of men around but they cannot live here. living only with

women is appealing so many. surely. guardianship is in the mid sixties and recently applied for rim. but there was a long waiting list. she doesn't see the no manual is a problem. if one gets involved with someone on the serious level, then as in any way they should have that conversation, where should we live? she doesn't, she doesn't work. the women are proud of the community they've built. they're completely self organized. all decisions are made collectively without hierarchy. when that's 26 of you know, it's sometimes it's hard to get everybody's opinion. it's hard to get consensus. you can end up talking about very small things actually very well. it seemed like kind of tea things like it might be finding community at times. even if it is

occasionally difficult. the women seat themselves as pioneers and hope that others will follow in their footsteps. community instead of boredom, i mean support instead of isolation, they, each one of us is very different from everybody else, and that's great. but we will share this desire to be part of the community to look out for each other without looking off to reach out. as a, this is precisely how friends heavy, urgent, and charlotte polish want to live. self determined and independent into old age is beautiful. and that brings us to the end of focus on europe for today. as always, we have more stories from across the continent. so be sure to follow us on social media. thank you very much for joining us today. my name is live show by and see you next time the,
