4:32 pm
federal a 2nd is that i'm doing something good here shouldn't be. is it any different from our boys in the trenches? he stayed through the city's liberation from russian occupation in november 2022 the 1st day of the ration i raised the flag pass on has been under constant bombardment by russian forces. and so all activity inside the hospital takes place without the benefit of daylight. the windows are boarded up from outside to keep the glass from shattering and a missile strike. you have to go there should be the number. i'm the head of the radiology department. we're going to do cuz i used to be responsible for consulting
4:33 pm
with other radiologists and identifying injuries on the radiology scans with which i think it would 1st of income of things. but now i routinely do whatever comes up . i think video advertisements and you myers see how soon lives in southern ukraine . the opposite bank of the new pro river is in russian hands. the city was occupied by russian forces for 8 months until out of 2020, to the throne, liberty, and the weight in there for the before the war. we had every day injuries, especially from black ice broken bones and so on. now their injuries from minds or artillery, shrapnel in the mature present, even if it wasn't working, it's difficult when someone has several injuries at once to find the problem with the youth. if i knew for both of us the test on is bombarded daily. the
4:34 pm
sirens, the doctors rarely have time to seek shelter. he is the only radiologist left in this hospital. the other 15 of all fled either abroad or to other parts of ukraine. his wife and daughter also fled after their apartment was hit last year. at the time their daughter liza was only 4 years old. she also kind of bomb, flew into it. i feel sorry for our home number. luckily we got out in time where we'd be dead. i don't want to die these days as soon as something of a ghost town only the supermarket shows signs of activity,
4:35 pm
almost like an oasis amidst the war zone. life pier is full of contrast dishes more than she was supposed to visit boston. where can you feel safe? now? this was almost nowhere for though you can have you at any moment, anywhere to notice that i have animals at home with a wife who seriously, oh, i can't just pack up and leave the best here. doctor alexander troubled totty, lots old neighborhood was caught in the crossfire. so me a call here we took a direct hood listed on my balcony. it was torn off completely, you know, bulk onto the federal even of trunk gifts is
4:36 pm
a small town in the west of ukraine. the doctor's wife, vitalia, and daughter liza had been living here for a year. but the new apartment still feels temporary. doctor vitalia troubled tardy over is also a medical doctor, but she hasn't found a new job yet for a daycare center for liza. so many people have moved to western ukraine from the east that it's extremely hard to get a foothold for a new beginning here. but there was no other solution. even liza understands why they had to leave their city the can soon as being bombarded. it's a bad time to pass on. but dad is doing the best he can there. the gear too far away from the front. so more ways on people's minds,
4:37 pm
even if life in this part of ukraine is very different the sign boards commemorate people from even though from kits to fall in at the front. one of them was friends with vitalia enter. husband was memorable. it just never should have happened almost every day. there are more of these pictures a year ago, this boulevard only had half as many people learned to survive. any situation you get used to everything you survive. the test was dig a factory, include. hydra has given the work force in eastern germany, a boost, thousands of jobs have been created in the region. company founder e long mosque has held it as a sustainable and efficient facility. but from the moment he announced the project years ago, the town has become increasingly divided. opponents of the car factory save the
4:38 pm
jobs and infrastructure come at a high cost environmental us argue the plant is doing more harm than good and are determined to stop it from expanding. test level will make sure that this is the gemstone for the area for germany, and for your event for the world to store protesting here in front of tests, not including high to come. hudson, we simply can't afford to go on as we are entrepreneur ellen musk wants to expand his tesla plant near berlin in germany, which would mean clearing forest. a nightmare for roman as this activist calls himself. he's part of the group who have occupied the forest in protest against tesla, and that's not for one. i just love for it and i'm always happy enough for us to be . i felt the ground and since i got here is mr. title data. the 24 year old has
4:39 pm
joined the occupation to prevent further deforestation cutting down trees for environmentally friendly cars. roman says that's a contradiction. test size is tesla is super clever at selling. this is a solution as a green alternative to our current situation. but we simply can't afford to go on as we are in the long term. it's not everyone can have a car as long as this because in time sheet on alta hobbs, the after this come from all over germany and some from abroad. they've been occupying the area for 2 months here on the outskirts of the small village of gruen heider. tesla is producing the model why? which in 2023 was the best selling car in the world. most cars, broad economic growth to the region around 12000 people work in the giga factory. german chancellor love schultz attended the opening himself. the i'd like to move in the electron mobility will shape the
4:40 pm
future of mobility. and that's evidence here today. yeah, lot local resident men, when a jolla has a different take on the situation, she's founded as citizens initiative. for them, it's not only about the trees. the factory was built in a water protection area and their biggest fear is contamination. a catastrophe that would leave tens of thousands of residents without drinking water. he mentioned or taking us for a ride. as a diamond friendly, there's nothing climate friendly about it? nothing at all. comics over 60 percent of room height a residence recently voted against teslas plans to extend the plant the company scaled back its plans somewhat. but it's still intent on expansion of you're standing here in front of this factory. but what didn't they understand? pushed on on the i'm going out the height of residence voted against the expansion
4:41 pm
. and we're going to continue to fight it version of via that are getting can tesla should stick to the line they've already destroyed and leave the rest of the forest and peace item and vice mail in their battle against tesla. some protesters have resorted to sabotage in march and electricity. pylon was set on fire by a radical left wing group. the attack paralyzed production at tesla for days, costing the company millions of bureaus. e lot most called the perpetrators the dumbest eco terrorist on earth for stopping the production of electric vehicles and to boost morale. he visited the planting, green hide to the the attack caused consternation and politics and business. we contacted tested to hear their side, but our interview requests remained and answered. the company actually could point
4:42 pm
to a number of steps. it's taken to protect the environment. for example, it built a new industrial water filter system. this recycle is almost all of the water and thereby reduces consumption. that's one of the reasons why some residents support the company. i, the less cooler belongs to a different citizens initiative. together with a friend to be a flint. he follows and documents the development of the test, the factory here with i don't even noticed anything new for the is the i'll find the i also believe there are global challenges. yeah. how about the test that i see tesla as part of the solution? and that's not the case for most people in the count at all. i am convinced that we did that without tesla, we wouldn't have gotten to where we are in electro mobility visits and as i live, everyone says that electric cars alone will start climate change help and that's true. but public transport alone can stop climate change, either nothing on its own, construct, climate change, and we need multiple different solutions glue and high to town center.
4:43 pm
the 9000 people who live including high to have diverging opinions on both tesla and the activists. is cutting down, you can't just sell everything back to air water or it's oil all for sale. and instead of the protesting, they should be looking for work with test lopez. that'd be the medium reimburse and they've probably never worked a day in their life. so they should try working for 48 years like me that there a bunch of free loaders i have to go, but it's like i said, how can the dispute be result local politician palmilla iceland is moving over this very question. as chair of the local council, she has a say in the decision on whether tesla can expand the factory. but she's still undecided on how to vote. she tells us that the millions of bureaus and tax revenue from tesla has made it possible to build a new school. at the same time, she recognizes that many citizens are concerned. as
4:44 pm
a test flows from testament as both a curse and a blessing for clean hydro. on the one hand, the higher tax revenues are a blessing to. it's on the other hand, the curse as all the restructuring that affects this region. the diesel and the source of the residents anxieties, regardless because residents are afraid that they'll no longer recognize their clean height when items with the wild boon height, the locals tend to voice their opinions. tesla employees that commute here are much more reticent every day they have to pass the protesters, information stands to get to the factory side. what do you think of the protest camp here? no comment. what's your take on the camp? tension is rising in the camp. police are patrolling the area but aren't allowed to evacuated yet. the occupation is officially registered until the end of may. only
4:45 pm
then would the police be allowed to disperse the camp. the activists are preparing for that day. we're trying not to be too invasive, but theoretically i'd have permission to march right through here because i can't see any of the dug a hole in the ground back there. or if there's a fire pit or rubbish, i can't see it from here. savings and moves from here, we'll say see they're planning bigger anti tests. i protest soon along with other activist groups for rome and it's not just about the situation here. he's also critical of the continual economic growth and its consequences from the dentist is he uh, is that some of the woodlands here may well be cleared. a lot of that gets already happened up there to build electric cars, which at 1st glance appears to be a more sustainable alternative to the time. and the date, of course, you could argue that it's worth it to reduce overall emissions. but we're not just here because of this forest since the whole supply chain and everything that comes
4:46 pm
with it. the, the reason bias here. so then there's massive exploitation of supplement in men's environmental destruction. this isn't, this isn't humans alice boyd and women's only still as evening falls, peace returns. but the battle over test level continue in the green hide forest. a mild climate, sunshine and beach, whether all year round. welcome to the canary islands, a spanish archipelago off the coast of west africa. every year, millions of tourists fly there to enjoy their holidays. 10 a reef is the largest of the group, and an increasing number of resorts are being built to accommodate the many visitors. locals like victor martin, are fed up with their island being over run by tourists. and some residents are taking drastic measures to call for change. empty land with unobstructed ocean views with some view as a perfect place for
4:47 pm
a new tourist resort. others would like to see left to nature. victor martine belongs to the latter group. he's looking to prevent his need of canary islands from being completely absorbed by tourism. but even this place, which was formerly used to good tomatoes and bananas, will soon house hundreds of luxury apartments. and we'll go to somebody if we don't want to completely lose the connection to our roots, which has already long been undermined, especially not in this coastal region where tourism has taken up more and more space over the last 50 years or so. what am i have? what this would be another step in that direction, but i think i'm in. thank you so much. victor knows his way around the canary islands. better than most. he's a university professor of geography, turned activist and spokesperson for the canaries. have had enough alliance only around 2000000 people live on the canaries. last year alone, some 14000000 foreign holidaymakers came to the archipelago. tourism dominates the
4:48 pm
streetscape. it's also solid, but the digital you own is bread and butter. need a battalion moved here 6 years ago? he and his wife opened a small diving school in most americans. he has limited sympathy for people going on hunger strikes against the tourism. let's go to that to let me test. i don't think it's a right to complain about tourism was because we live from engines introduced. nobody can live here without tourism economic, but i think it has to be responsible tourism in moderation onto these mo, the must seattle, most of salvatore is customers know 10 to reef. well, i had been coming here for years to dive the fact that they as torres are seen as a nuisance by some local, is this something that many are aware of? we were actually discussing yesterday we went to the supermarket and we were talking about the prices. so the we compared to a few years ago that we've been here and they raised the law. it was crazy and we
4:49 pm
were thinking like how the can the loco survives with these spices in the supermarket. salvatore is died in school is doing well. the temperature hardly ever drops below 20 degrees celsius making diving, snorkeling and swimming possible all year round. something his pupils love about the mid atlantic islands, but there is another site, a tentative where people who can't find an apartment find themselves and housed fellow has been living like this for years. he says he's lucky, he always liked camping so lovely that got his boss is the only roof over his head . you don't go from 2 to after that and 200 people originally occupied, the building around 30, remain next to it with no electricity and no water bell. i had spent a long time looking for a place after separating from his partner b. c t o a whole i work in construction and at some point i passed by this building, but as you know, so i decided to move in with the others until they kicked us out. so yeah, most likely. now we're all on the street because you can't find
4:50 pm
a rental and then loyalty this. and if you do, those can be expensive. like in this residential complex in the south, even real estate agent a lean, my ran has difficulty finding a place. he knows the market and the fierce competition there will be at least 20 other interested people. so you have to decide very quickly at the office. so many languages are spoken to accommodate international clients, according to our liens. colleague, atlanta, 80 percent of their customers are foreigners, given the low wages on the canary islands, locals have a hard time winning bidding mores for, for the most of the apartments belong to landlords who have 3 for 5 or 6 apartments . all rented out as holiday homes, basically like very few properties on the market condo. that's especially true in the inner cities. locals therefore have to commute to work in the active as victor
4:51 pm
says, tourist add to the traffic problem. this hotel project is being, quote, listed active as say its building permit so close to the waterfront is dubious. after being halted, once construction has now resumed. but the islands hotel owners have a different view. jorge, muddy child doesn't want his gets to feeling welcome and is newly renovated hotel simply the problem or the end of business, or blaming towards the tourism is actually the solution to you. and what problem is that our population has grown by 30 percent in the last 25 years. and the main thing we're going to see will not, but we don't have a more highways, hospitals, schools or housing locally here. none of that has grown into the level as you tell, the owners are demanding more infrastructure and want the state to step up. but active. this one, a different economic model for the canary islands. the 2nd pores region in spain
4:52 pm
will give the name of the continues to leave the canal aryans can do much more than just clean rooms and wait tables, even though they're good at that e. w. and i think that the 2000000 inhabitants have a lot to offer and that many are willing to develop other sectors like industry or agriculture and above all, renewable energy is internal water that sometimes less is more. could that be the case when it comes to tourism in the canary islands? london is famous for its sky line and dreary weather, but was to quite man a rainbow was always on the horizon. the octo genario has a knack for looking on the bright side and the artist is getting notice both online and off. now sue's colorful style is inspiring others to follow suit. for su, craftsman. every day starts with a generous splash of color. like for her color is everything. each one of these things is a work of art. and when i put myself together on the, essentially making
