all stuff. what is this nonsense? i want my son to the doctor to indicate it's time to to and then when generation flash the hello and welcome to focus on europe. my name is live show. great to have you with us in the war against russian presidents pretends troops. ukraine is being pushed more and more into the defensive. particularly the north eastern part of the country is witnessing increased fighting. the settlements near the city of how to give especially are under attack. thousands of civilians had to be evacuated from the border region and tire buildings have been reduced to rubble. thousands of

soldiers and civilians have lost their lives since the beginning of the war. the exact number is unknown. now specialized units are coming through the battle fields in search of the bodies of those killed. a reporter met one search team in the region around how to give and witnessed how the men are putting their lives in danger. to give you credit on families a chance to lay their loved ones to rest. a warning that some viewers may find the following. contents disturbing on the boat done, he picks was killed 2 years ago. his mother, victoria still remembers the afternoon when a voice on the phone told her that her son had died in combat fighting for ukraine . it was all just so strange in such a strange day. i took a few sedatives and in the evening i just fell asleep with broken liver. i lay down

. i must slip through the 9th, who is room to move in. this is the day off. does it's truly awful oh throwing you wake up and you don't want to admit it's true for you. think to yourself, i must have drink. it says oh, just a terrible dream. it to more than a year before victoria he picks, was able to bury her son. here in his hometown into the car key is an important place for her to be able to grieve. her younger son jago slab was also killed at the front, but his remains of not being fined. let me put you with the foot, but he will still be found tinkling bolton's burial. we tried to keep a pluck free next to him to lose the spinning. it would be nice if that were both very t, except for when they were always so close a little for 3 hours, some har heath close to the front, below them ear and his team spend 30 searching for fallen soldiers. their unit specializes in recovering the dead so that their relatives can pay their last

respects is that the interest job, as a former battlefields are often scattered with minds law, what channels the explosion to see and the russians often leave behind surprises, length bathroom. they're even under that bodies, would you be to love estimates for the death toilet? well over $100000.00, but the figures cannot be verified. many are still lying somewhere in the fields of eastern ukraine. it doesn't take long before for the dom, your team find something let's say, who is most of the young's go, she has good shirts and my experience tells me these are not human bones scooting good. the pharmacy, i had a lot of chickens, cows and pigs on their pharmacy, when they fled and they had to leave them behind the bull bull, whoops, go. if you bundle a little further side, closer to the combat. so another team leaves are what they brought back from a search operation. they found 10 corpses in a forest area who is, you know,

they have to identify the bodies, most of which are severely disfigured. i'll put my motor fuel. if one of you who we have a notebook with some phone numbers in it, the for this is probably the contact information for his daughter. so home, this should make it easy to confirm his identity or from birth to even the smallest physical remains can be enough to identify ukrainian soldiers. their match to a database of d n, a samples local dealer for the month of will be for the month to part. so we found the tiny pieces of sink is piece and bone fragments in the faces of animals. if there's even an shaun's to identify a person, we leave noise going on to the north. every soldier should be brought back to the family, uses the boma alexi says that some of the deceased here are probably russians. the

team also tried identifying the bodies to the best of their ability. nothing but why they kill us, but we remain human. every person should be buried with dignity. after hours of searching below them here and his team have come across more boons in a remote field based on the location below them, near concludes that these are also russian bodies. he hopes the remains can be handed over later during an exchange of fallen. soldiers on the bottom, you can be sure what you mean and say, i'm only looking at some point a special unit, but they'll take care of handing over the bodies organ. victoria he picks his whole thing for such a hand over. her youngest son was probably killed and maria pulled on russian occupied territory. only an exchange of remains would allow her to bury him.

3 of us, all sorts of we need to seize any opportunity to exchange the did. you have to go just to give back remains without getting anything in return to the certificate. so it's important for every month a to be able to move on as a grade for what that is. but despite all the efforts of search teams is the largest burial site of your korean soldiers is likely not here in the cemetery. but in the vast fields of eastern ukraine, for many older europeans, images of the war in ukraine bring back traumatic memories of world war 2. john roberts, from britain, was just a young man. during that time he fought in the battle of normandy, when allied troops ushered in the beginning of the end of the nazi regime. now 80 years later, john sees peace and freedom threatened by pollutants war. he wants to europeans to protect democracy on the continent more fiercely than ever before of june.

6th, 1944 allied troops invaded normandy. it's mark the start of the battle that would determine the course of the 2nd world war and harold, the beginning of the end of national socialism. as a young man in the royal navy, john roberts served on the front line over to the left, unable to the right of and traveled well being bombed a lot about 10 minutes before the landings, 3 or 400 flying fortresses, flew along the beach. they didn't cross the beach going from north to side. they flew along the beach, dropping $500.00 pound volumes. and from where we, where the whole beach became lit up. it was like fireworks non stop 5 work. the veteran is now 100 years old. back then he was just 20 and by his own account,

a little naive press ours. i shouldn't really say that, but i almost enjoyed the role of not because i enjoyed the was it well, but i would have been upset if i've missed here. if the other people of my age had been in it, but i'd not be there and i've been being a young man. i wanted to be there forever. the only later when he come to understand the horrors of the war and the scale of the devastation that is pointing losses uh order to, to, to over to think of. and yet why are almost getting errors again for john roberts, the images of destruction out of ukraine are painfully similar to those from his youth in the 2nd world war. i think it's terrible that uh,

my grandson could be involved in a wall in 6 or 8 months time. well, i hope not. i mean, i'll have to when bill folks world will walk around to. everybody said this is the war to enroll. was the farmer soldier is confident that it's the strong cooperation within nato that has safety europe for more in recent decades, john roberts served in the royal navy for almost 4 decades. he rose the ranks to rear admiral and worked closely with the nato troops to my mind, nato is the most important thing that we have here appear. nations must stick together at the end of world war 2. i couldn't remember where to send you out to your american speech and saying that the savior of the or in the future will be for it to be together. and that's why i did not,

but to leave your up. i'd like you to remain. but you, john roberts says, nato and the you must stand up to rush up just as the allies, one stood together against germany, to avoid repeating what happened in the heart of europe. 80 years ago, the us iceland is becoming more and more of a tourist magnet. people travel there to see the country is unique nature. the gazers the hot pools and of course will k knows. but for your own on a, for, to see guard son who actually lives on the island. active volcanoes can be a serious threat. he knows all to will about the destructive power of these forces of nature. you on lives in the town of green, the vic where a lava has been bubbling for months. this is a glimpse into the depths of the earth. magma at 1000 degrees celsius is rising. up

. icelanders have given this volcanic system, the names are saying he or black men do it as being facts of for months. now the 1st tweaks, and a lot of us threatened the timing of going to the just a few kilometers away is residents had to flee. one of the 1st single son was born and raised here. we got the chance to return with him to green defeat. for a few hours, she all sold cracked and crooked. it's a huge gap between the buildings over there. i don't know how it's going to go. i know there are a lot of people that really want to come here again. join wants to show us his house. he had to give the key to the fire department. so we entered through the garage part of

he says he and his family moved in here just 2 years ago. he was sitting in front of the tv with his children. when the big quick came in november you could see them coming from, you know, below from the ground, you know, just under you. and they were just kicking you under the heat. so i, i called my wife and said, hey, there's definitely a change in the quakes. let's just pack things and leave in the family to totally the essentials with a more state with relatives at 1st houses. then came volcanic eruptions and the lava even fluid into the yard of his own, got hit by the law, but this was the neighbor's house burned to the ground. the pieces of rock are still hopped. joint explains, have his neighbor is receiving a piano from a disaster insurance policy. the money can be used to build a new home,

but the lab has stopped before reaching us house. now he's hoping iceland, the government will as promise provide relief by purchasing the property i just saw, you know, a huge quantum flame. and i really taught the, you know, my house was gone in the almost hope that it was gone, because then we would have culture northeast. but like many residents of glinda beach yonah is still waiting for the government to make an offer on his house with dangers. still lurking in the depth, it's unclear at the time will be hospitable again. geologist and a novelist on an adult to you work, singling the v fee under colleague want to assess the underground damage before getting started the to use safety route to link together we are working in a very dangerous area with a lot of trucks and there's a possibility that the ground could cavan,

so we need to be extra cautious. and if you see a crack, we walk very carefully over it. take a large step over it just to be extra safe. then they get started using this device on wheels. the and mit rate are pulses into the ground. this way they can measure layer by layer beneath them and discover cavities and fixtures. that you all would just think it would be too dangerous to live here again. there existing the cracks, that's our whitening as we speak. you know, it happens with every movement or of the, of the quick events that we have here. it will take them many more weeks to record all the damage and the habit might not be done yet. because of old kind of gear yet still active sicilian photographer, marco demarco, visits the creature regularly. he takes photos and videos for tv broadcasters all

over the world. we joined them on one of his, our things. we will try to go as close as possible by the safest boss spots. we will not try to do something too dangerous because of that. so there is no point. yeah, we arrive at the vast lava field, the lava advancing at a snail's pace. so slowly that we cautiously venture a little closer it's always strange, right? you see the snow in the lobby as i was at the country. uh, it is unreal, that it's all right in front of you. yeah. it's always like cheating, you know, use it. and then the rest is the volcano hot clumps of lava fly from the creature up into the air? the visa do is of okay, i say other 15 minutes of an hour and then you end up staying like 2 or 3 hours

more. you don't even realize that time is flying. they're just it's, it's an amazing like, this is beautiful. then mark, who gets to work the flies this room directly over the creature and captures disputed. the sometimes the northern lights are visible over the volcano. a marco has captured incredible time. what's videos like this one? iceland was originally formed by alternators. dozens are still active. further eruptions can occur at any time. the auction. i me to you on again. i want to know why he decided to live in such

a dangerous place. it's a very good price to move. even though we have those no natural dangers, the world needs map on the world needs heroes. i think for a bit of both. if he gets enough money for his house, he only wants to move away from green to vick with his family. even though he finds that tough. because his neighbor, the volcano, doesn't seem to be coming down any time soon. the will now introduce you to these tiny insects, which are wreaking havoc in italy, the red fire, and is actually native to south america, but complex and slide. these are now eating their way through italian gardens and crop fields, especially the people near syracuse in sicily have to deal with this invasion as more and more of the destructive insects are showing up. getting rid of them is

proving to be quite the challenge. ringback there were only a few millimeters in science, say one of the most viewed invasive spaces of all the red impulse supply and, or selling ups. as in victor, the invincible ferdinand, the color, red light, is an economist and is looking for the insects near syracuse in sicily. can you see it is, well, i caught up the red fire and it was the isn't even the this, that means they've already sprayed on this property. and by the eat, the deeper roots of the plan. and that's not even a ton of insects that are beneficial. to agriculture, the output gangadeen said they will believe the most of the work for, for the you, the senate is high and let's list of invasive spaces and effects they will long

thoughts and most even exist in unit. but that will change last full when scientists sound the alarm, the in 6th being supported in sicily. so demand to use social media to send out the voting, which low with unaided. what's the one echo? why? why was they want? this is a big one. what's the bottom is i would also we need to take immediate action to preventive spreading further. our thing is, is that we can keep the red fire and it was under control. i give it a that what? okay, the usually the brazil china, the us have to spend billions of dollars and they're still unable to contain them or just on the default were spending the damage to agriculture is match the vehicle in a lock on the ground or say that i'm never going to go to the right front and originally comes from presume how when, when it reached sicily is still unclear, i wouldn't advise you on at the so far, the invasion has slipped under the radar. and there has is

a major damage and many of this one, but it's a number of and tools grows. it will harm agricultural fruit, vegetable production. and if i call the tri, primarily in places, this would be more sense. for example, in playgrounds or private gardens. after a couple of painful stings and pumps, common caruso realized that it wasn't the nature pants that were ruining her rose got the concepts here. they are right on to your roses. for 5 hours of the written the letter for me as a lover of roses. this is just awful that it breaks my heart, the modem. i care for them with a lot of love. for me when i see what these ants are doing to my roses,

it's like they're hurting me pretty darn convicted. i still don't know how to get rid of them. i'm not even sure what have you to come up with the louder, cuz we don't. the sicilian regional government also wants to get rid of them. had recently appointed for a student, john lucas nieto, a special commission. um he had a machine shipped in some sod, jameel, a pump that shoots a 140 degrees thing into the air until it's supposed to help eliminate the unimed vice. it gets 6 weeks off to the 1st test. the team is back to to see how it worked . well, one was here, but you can't see it anymore. there's one here. it's possible they moved over from there. i don't know what's up. yeah. well, just saw that yes, these are also red fire ends as well, but also in the last 5 by boat and a little bit more on, i'd be able to use the machine here again. so most of the, we've only use it in the 1st 3 and that's over there. yamaha and gordon. they were

all destroyed as a seasonal. so what we don't know yet is whether the house just moved over here and built in unit same, but as they seem to have done over there, or somewhere that we felt mom completely meant that the main thing is to kill the as a jean english, they're like, 072 by them. side, an endo has developed a method to combat the and base events himself. he makes a sawdust with a liquid and poisoned and then adds sugar. when you've been in the, with the roof, you then spread this noise and be to run the until the insects will bring it into the next one to feed me and just being born. and the queen, i love it, you the poison themselves and die. the magenta, the regional government has promised to intensify the science but sudden, endo, cuz it really isn't counting on it. he will continue to find the red fire and on his own. busy to our

final report takes us to one of the most. i conic symbols of christianity in europe, the not put them cathedral in paris. it was a huge shock when 5 years ago. the building was devastated by fire. but now there is good news. restoration works are in full swing with many people working tirelessly to bring the majestic church back to its former glory. it's probably the most watched construction site in all of paris right now. every bit of progress is recorded, examined and discussed. says that it's under, it's interesting to follow the development and learn about the technology used to rebuild the cathedral or that category and collect into body services. re discovering a part of itself. it's identity, it's re discovering its mother, so to speak, with american, with you now to see it nearly back to all its glory. it's just wonderful. it's

wonderful. on april 15th, 2019 to not show them cathedral called fire firefighters were unable to prevent aspire from collapsing the cause of the fire. it's still a noun, french president microns hitting them fishes go let's you want to, can we rebuilding know true, done. even more abusively than before, so i want it to happen within 5 years to me for one part of the effort to clean and repair the stained glass windows. hundreds of precious people have been working to restore enough for them to its former glory. the reconstruction project has become a matter of national and personal price by installing a windows with closing, oppose, and the procedural. we've worked towards hist for a long time. it may stay like this for centuries. it's very touching the river crosses, inspire, or being reconstructed according to the original designing president macro, and had briefly considered giving them a more modern little beginning for thanks to the land mountains,

you can do whatever you want just by the sound of all the quote, the reopening of the doctor, them seemed hard to imagine 5 years ago, but it's no guessing a little closer every day. just let me do this. i had no doubts. was it though? i was one of the crazy people who said it was possible. but even though i didn't expect such a transformation for didn't meet that offers. at least parts of the cathedral should be open to the public again in december. it may not be quite within the deadline sent by president mccomb, but that's nothing given the grand school. it's enough for them. history. well, that wraps up this week focused on your of i hope you enjoyed the program. remember that we have lots of stories and reports from across europe on our social media. so be sure to follow us there. my name is live show, thanks for watching and see you next time the
