4:32 am
cushion has just been sworn in again as president. is real russia for almost 25 years, and it's becoming increasingly authoritarian. that's one of the reasons why natalia list and many of the russians we want space for us to have on democracy for russia and we want, we just want people to waste and freedom is not be afraid of them to get them jail . natalia and other supporters of the late russian or position liter, alexa, unknown, the own admission in the now i think we have the responsibility to stop it before choosing wants to like blow up the cold war. the new great faith of many young russians is nevada and these widowed julia, novelle. now they started following her off his unexplained this and assigned between present kemp the

4:34 am
my name is natalia. i'm from a russian cooling service. do you have some time for me to go because it is pronounced tom, if it's correct, go ahead. no, i need to. thank you very much. from natalia calls, people in russia, talk to them about the war in ukraine. it's victims and the costs which and if there was enough but we are very carefully against the russian government. i knew many of them might never have been confronted with a different depend what the only thing necessary for the trying for people is for the good people to do nothing. so do not do nothing and certainly they continue to act. it would be great if there were no need to put up the stickers if there were no war and no present. if russia had taken the different paths a long time ago, but what happens cannot be undone. named
4:35 am
julia, nevada. nadia is the new icon of the opposition. many hope that she will be able to unite those who are willing to fight for free russia. but they too will have to take action. this year the w will honor a union of all my uh with the freedom of speech award, a living in a costa town. sounds like a dream for many, for example, and would stumble in britain. it would just wake up and go for a swim before having your 1st cup of tea buds. catherine chapman, who lives there knows that the reality is far from indian lake. she and fellow residents have to put up with sewage water that's polluting the coast dumping moods and slowing down businesses in the small fishing town. which still appears to be in a delicacy site type, just an hour and a half east of london. that's why the small beach out to your go for the equivalent
4:36 am
of about $70000.00 euros each. there's just one snag. it's sometimes really smells here. whenever it rains heavily, the water company's dump ro effluent into the harbor, which then ends up in the sea. this is a huge problem for locals such as green west to farms. the titans famous oysters, this incredible amount of the lease has maybe told me vines. and indeed yourself may just stay on the fisherman. i was with that with me just now. when i'm looking to move he can no longer sell it as always, there's directly because they have to be clean for at least 72 hours. first, he uses an upstream filter to disinfect the sea water and flush out the fecal residues from the oysters. it's a massive amount of work which means
4:37 am
less coming off these days it's $5000.00 a week maximum so he won't survive in the long run. he fears the situation is even worse on the beach. these little hats may appear rather innocent, but the show where the hidden pipes are that the privatized water companies used to dump excrement into the sea when the sewage system is overloaded. quite legally. aiden catherine are members of a local group that wants to change this. the inspect the pipes regularly, they say that what's your companies are only supposed to do this and exceptional cases. if it's been raining heavily, then we, we expect every day. but those licenses well were created in there and expect to be able to would need to release about 8 times a year, which i mean, that happens within a couple of weeks here. even today when the weather is fine,
4:38 am
there is a smelly problem. liquid dripping out of the pipe. there is still a little way for the sewage concrete is 56. there was some way to pay those folks that come along with them. but it's not height, height when things get really messy when sewage discharges will go on. notice, but all over england, protest groups are posting to date such as this from which the book and some will charge. occasionally, the companies are fine, but they can deal with this in 2023 alone. there were 400000 official discharges of sewage in 2 rivers and coastal waters of england. and this is all happening on an island where many people swim whatever the weather like this group of women, who since the pandemic have met regularly on the beach to maintain their physical
4:39 am
and mental well being, they see that cold water can help against anxiety and arthritis if i just take the risk, the risk is what the payoff. oh yeah. well i didn't put my mouse in it. i know i haven't got sick from his wife in they go to today. the temperature is only 9 degrees celsius, the in the car. so we have the wilder warming of they talk about their feelings of powerlessness, but also about their sense of resilience as the water companies have said, it will take years to repair the pipes. so these women have find ways to adapt these
4:40 am
waters on clean and you get a cold light, doesn't just sit there for 20, for a bulk of the can sit and festering causal kinds of long time problems in the gap and it contains a car. and so you have to think about everything was my daughter's getting married, i have to make sure i don't have a swim because i don't wanna get you. but there are some women in which the goals were not willing to accept the situation. for example, elaine, there's no refusing to pay for her watch her bill as far as long that i paid them, i'm old enough to have paid more to those since privatization. they go, the company's free debt free. we have paid for them to clean our water and they have not done it. they have just dumped it in the sea illegally. so there's too much of a package to come up. and so far she is one of the few to take such a radical step. but she says she's had enough, especially as the bills are due to go up drastically. i haven't been able to to go
4:41 am
to prison. no, i definitely don't want my belongings taken away, but it's worth it. we can make a difference. we all making a difference. it's not enough, but it's changing. and if we did it, you see what we would do. we would be the the circle of active resistors is still small, a local artist as a right to the concrete monument to them on the beach. but once the anger sits in it sticks, and what these angry people want is for the water companies to be b nationwide. app apps, usually they type, i think deserve any compensation because they've already happened. they've already had all the dividends that the amount that they're in debt from the enough time to be to the amount of defense that they have been paid. i think we're even implementing money from the most fundamental things about why should not be
4:42 am
next week. since the 19 ninety's private, walter operators of peter, over $70000000000.00 euros to their shareholders, and the country is literally sinking to the month. it will be decades before people can pay the game without worrying. but even if the state work to take over the healing system, it would still be tax peers who would suit most of the bill the you. if you're scared of heights, then some parts of our next report might make you feel a bit. i'm easy. we're traveling with the world steepest cable railway and it's taking us all the way up the ups to the swift village of stores. while torres get to enjoy a breathtaking view. the cable railway has also become a source of renewable energy, much to the delight of hotel manage my sudden noise house,
4:43 am
who was fascinated by this green cost saving power source. it's the steepest financial around way in the world. the store spawn at some thoughts. the incline is as much as a 110 percent from sheets. it brings people up to the store, ski slopes and 1300 mates. it's because of the steep slope because have to break hard. this generates energy, which is now being put to good use. there is so much energy in fact that it's enough to heat the new hotel next to the technical term for this kind of energy is recruiting for cheap energy. engineer renee cool, explains the principal in the railways engine room. yeah, they're gone, or we can see the entire drive train. when the train starts, energy is needed to pull the car up. the steep slope in the middle, the cars meet. this is the tipping point from then on one car pulls the other. this
4:44 am
means that the electric motor 1st draws power and then releases that halfway up to the energy that the hotel right next door can use. like with a hot water heater, electricity heats the water launch water tanks in the basement to use to store this thermal energy. the fact that the hotel is located right next to the round road is ideal for the back, but the short distances means less heat loss. and of course, in terms of the construction being so close meant that i was much less structural work required to connect is going to be in the hatch, the levels this hot water flows and all the hotels, 100 rooms, and in the kitchen, the manager of the hotel must sell noisy house is quite pleased to have the energy from the senate killer to heat its hotel, especially in times of high energy prices. and the fact that the stores spun, we have the opportunity to buy electricity at a reduced price. how no more than the money we spend to go straight back to the
4:45 am
store spun with the next 3 that of the stalls ball and the guns. so it stays here in the community. we have a circular economy and a very small space for us. it's a perfect fit and who handles the fairies? both is also down in switzerland, many hotels and restaurants on the mountain stations and have high demands for energy. so the potential for similar projects, this huge, according to engineer vanelle from design, university of applied sciences and of the sustainable idea could easily be replicated elsewhere. i don't. busy of these, you have the know, here's the system, the system is not very complicated, but it does require a good chord nation between cable card technology and building technology. and once this is in place, it is possible to rely some great projects and it's getting given needs to come on the for the call you at the foot license by calling stalls with the newly built stools launch. we will come at 1st guess next week. the managers show that everyone who's stay won't go. it can have a nice hot shower and a clear conscience,
4:46 am
even if it's a long one. with a warm shell was thanks to the mountain railroad. the idea of looks, after all, there's no way around breaking on the steepest round way in the world. to anyone who's ever been to turkey is probably very familiar with this switch trains . circus the lights locally known as low. come in and does the on tip of close to the border with syria. one of the producers of low come has become quite successful and will show mom is proud of the business she's been able to build. somebody is one of many syrians who found a new home and goes on to after the civil war in syria, forced them to give up everything. a simple do of water sugar and starch garnished with a pistachio. and there you have it. the famous turkish delight or look home. and so it was this little coma shop is based in turkey. its owner is syrian and they'll
4:47 am
show on the flat the civil war to the turkish border, tired of garcia and to 10 years ago. and i learned the basics of local and production from my grandfather and here i refund to the process. my children will continue this tradition. god willing today's sharma, exposure, look home all over the world. an unusual success story among the more than 3000000 syrian refugees and turkey, 430000 of them live in jersey on to alone. that's almost $1.00 and $4.00 of the cities inhabitants. in some areas, survey and businesses dominate the streets. but most syrians here were illegally in factories and construction women and paid employment, or uncommon m a sharma, something of a role model. her look home business was the 1st female lead refugee start up in
4:48 am
syria. she was a housewife habit and then i come and have i wanted to continue the tradition of local making into key. but i realized i needed support when i found this kind of, i was finally able to open my own business. had been to from the national husky. that support came from germany. the state run cuz they'll shut the internet. you and alex is, i'm an update for g. i said, for short gifs, i'm a micro lose and gas the on to pollute and similar programs have helped over $500.00 syrians to become self employed. from the 1st, we are covering all the legislation fees. second, we are providing most of complexity development for the images are supporting wanting to we just by missing the we just also suffered a accommodate, for instance, almost sharma. she also provide jump opportunity for her community so that many
4:49 am
students also working here. but there is also resentment among turkish residents towards the city and refugees. the economic crisis, unemployment, high inflation and rising. rents are all contributing factors while maintaining the members there's, i feel like a refugee in my own city bank had an affiliated wherever you look. there are syrians everywhere and then about some clear that the state is more about them than about us. that's why there's so much discontent, negative sentiment. the government, too, is aware of the growing discontent. the burden on the cities administration is substantial. that's why funds from germany are a welcome sight. yeah, it is a party to meet the institution support like to is it? and we are trying to, to create the social cohesion without any problem the, the resources, the has limited. but the needs a lot. that's different for
4:50 am
n o sharma living on someone else's dime, was always out of the question. but despite her successful business, she faces substantial obstacles as a refugee. here it is that we can't just go to a business meeting or a trade share on if you thought of it, because we're not allowed to leave the city without the permits because it's all this, not the boss will be able to go to doris and the 1st, we have to get permission from the emigration office of all the videos, unlike many other syrians, and they'll show me i never considered fleeing further west. the old time of garcia and type reminded her of a letter to her hometown, but being so close yet. so far weighs heavily on her and even if i return to my country, i probably wouldn't find the same people the same atmosphere as before. i'm afraid
4:51 am
every single have changed. a timely return seems i took the question at the moment . but the new beginning and turkey has been successful with a little help from europe to this next, sorry, blue my mind completely because it shows you just how much technology can bring people together. lee most is a german boy who currently can't physically go to class due to an illness like to leave this little guy allows and he knows to always say connected to his fellow students to lessons in class and school life in general. but how exactly does it work? let's find out. hello, latest. good. that you've joined us. we've assigned you to a group already gives it. okay, let's get started. i will see. thank you. this is lena overall, but his bro bought the device has enabled the 7th grader to participate in lessons from home while he's sick. he's been doing this for the past 6 months and i'm so
4:52 am
tired lost in the beginning when i will participate and it was a real adrenalin rush. i mean cake on the smell. it was scary because i was afraid of seeing something wrong with that one. so it was because it was new for me, i don't live on a because the connection might be bad just as little. so i'm just the know, it's just become everyday life. one next is biology group which, which proves to be quite the challenge is controls the camera via track pad. but the technology doesn't always play alone. disclose internet connection is unstable. the transmission hit and miss. uh, yes, let me see. uh, she just does not also have to logo again on to the image bruce us. but the split, the old, he topped the road, bought, has been a big help. homeschooling was a little trickier with the office the. and if he didn't enjoy doing his work on
4:53 am
no, did he understand why you'd have to be that way? it's quite different when a teacher can talk to the children directly. when children can do group work together, what are the, it's a not move from then just sitting alone in front of a book line, the phone book, so that the defect of the house and long some. and lena's had to stay home during the covered 19 pandemic. his avatar was financed by a gym and heart disease charity. because going back to school, much of exist, human. gotta come off in the she can walk slowly on level ground, but climbing stairs is difficult investment. and since there's no elevator at school, he has to go really slowly on lines on my cell phone calls for another big problem is running about. i'm looking for simply the stress of having to change the classrooms and climb the stairs done to tell. that's why the avatar is just great though. i don't have the hassle of changing classrooms. that's and that's, that's what i'm really tom. and lead us as friends even take the road lot to recess
4:54 am
every now and then the avatar is not only supposed to keep children like leaders in the classroom. it's also about keeping him in touch socially. yeah, absolutely. yeah. yeah, i'll send you my address and as for me i've he just feels more like i'm actually there. then if i was on zoo uh right. no contact at home between the oven or the feels much more like actually going to school. but as far as them mission, that feeling might just become a reality. lenise his medication is working so well in fact that he's right, but may soon be able to be the one to stay home and well, that brings us to the end of this week focused on here of thank you so much for watching. remember to follow us on social media, so you don't miss any of us stories from across europe. i'm gonna show by end of the nose in the,
