forgiveness, i'm sure. guardians of trees, julian, his sons, and the dog secrets of war, starts to lie 27th on d, w. the . this is focus on europe. i'm larva lola, welcome. in france, a far right party that was long considered taboo, stood up the gates of power for the 1st time in decades. but victory for the national reality was blocked after a last ditch alliance of centrist and left his parties. now frances, facing a political deadlock with no route gaining an absolute majority of fractured landscape, is threatening to defend the divisions over immigration and identity. will

these issues are shaping the political landscape in several european countries? the alternative for germany or a f d placed 2nd an e u parliament elections. but they're anti immigration and xenophobic rhetoric has set off alarm bells. don't add up. horseman wants to stop their rise and found at the group granny's against the far right. the seniors recently collected at 33000 signatures to shut down the f d 's donation account and the bank complied. but in the village of dubin, in the state of saxony, getting through to voters isn't as easy. it's an a f, the strong hold and the grannies are struggling to have their voices heard. activists are taking to the streets for democracy, intolerance, and the small sex and town of do that. and then to think of it all granny's against the right. a few times it was i just as about all of the other people in the values we whole lot would be more about freedom, the quality freedom of thought. i had

a good that i live in recent elections about 30 percent of the voters chose the a f d. a party who has section a branch has been designated as of right wing extremist by german. his domestic intelligence agency, the f. d less is out against other german parties, denies human cause, climate change and campaigns against l. g b t q rights, and refugees is coming to i can assure you that perkins may headscarf girls publicly supported dogs and other good for nothings will not secure our prosperity . economic growth and the social state prison. the grant is against the right or watching this right word surge with great concern . the. they want to talk to local ac voters. they've got coffee intake and information about the right wing populace. that's view and palm if we can give out our information and materials to a few people so that later this evening some might think it over in private and

possibly realize, oh, i didn't know that. that would be the greatest thing, was the 3 of those, the horsemen found at the group and do the an after journalist reported on a right wing meeting near berlin, there a if the politicians right wing extremists and some conservative politicians are said to have planned reporting millions of immigrants todds the bus is todd me as of the fact that such a discussion happened with shocking and deeply disturbing. i dish and convinced me something had to be done. some was supposed to come up to the group, started out with 18 female activists. now there are 41 they want to learn how to count or right wing populist arguments at practice sessions like these. almost all of them are confronted with racism and extremism on

a daily basis and workplaces sports clubs and elsewhere. i was sure on this high, but that's why we should speak up in this moment time hopefully by the most frustrating thing for the active. this is when their neighbors see them as the problem and not right wing populism. of things they all, when i draw months of payments for the ground, these against the right, for instance, the campaigns were organizing and into and i'm also confronted with like the silence for people turn away and act as it hits us to while the problem. yeah, they're still as if we are the ones making trouble here. we're here but the grannies aren't giving up. there's too much at stake. then they also might not anchored. i want my grandchildren to grow up in the same 3 tolerant democratic states that i did mention. okay and,

and now i'm so worried it's old going down the drain again for so to store. because if i, let's go to the dates. but today i know a, if the voters show up to check with them at their stand, despite free coffee, t and t, none of the locals seem interested and decide to stay put inside. there's simply no dialogue between the grannies and do bins. hey, if the voters pull, the grannies will be working over the summer to reach folders. had original elections in the stronghold of the ranger and saxony of norway is known for its majestic fjords. narrow and lips that were carved out by glaciers. each year they dress scores of tourists who arrive on crew ships to enjoy the sites, but they leave a huge environmental footprint behind the guy round. gra fjord is a world heritage site and is one of norway's most visited to protect it and norway has taken the bold decision to bad diesel fueled ships from 2026. captain frank,

all born saxon fears, he will lose his livelihood. as 0 missions vessels become the only ones allowed to sail in the waters majestic mountains, getting up from the deep blue water. the feud landscape on norway's west coast is breath taking the beautiful. it's a unique natural environment. attracting tourists from all over the world. many want to see the guy wrong, or fjord. most of all the trunk or boons sucks and make sure the giant cruise ships are able to dock for those of us living or the crew ships are our livelihood or whether we work in the harbor for sale. with a tour, a lot of people live from tourism and have no alternative to live up to the stall. how the general called tom, i'll see you. as soon as the ship has docked,

the tourist pour into the village, shuffling between souvenir stores, restaurants and scenic lookout points. some $400000.00 crews tourists visit this place every year. but now nobody's government wants to drastically reduce their numbers and above all band pollution caused by marine diesel fuel starting and 2026 ships that burn this type of fuel will no longer be allowed to dock in the harbors to ships on the cross ships cause the world's highest emissions per passenger and travel kilometers on your flip. some of your they pollute are fjords, so therefore they have to get that. and that's why all parties in the norwegian parliament have decided on a 0 emission policy post log on or inside of all new notes for the industry. this will be a huge challenge, since most cruise ships still run on diesel. but there are exceptions like that. you read the docked in another port in the guy wrong, or if your mikaela front,

you only believes that emission free cruise is our cost of the in the engine room. the manager of the cruise operators shows off the company's pride and joy ship engines that run on liquefied natural gas l n, g b. except for because for the 1st time we use that, if you will, which is not the refrigerator. and these will open up the possibility for us to adopt in the future. what people are saying that the few as few as we can much nowhere and are going to be decimal as see the 1st step of a, of a journey replacing marine diesel with l. n g means a significant reduction in emissions. it also saves energy for the accommodation in facilities on board. since cabins and pools are heated using the ships engines. but there's still a long way to go before the control room can go without diesel altogether. when

they're a very strong winds, the captain can switch systems at the types of about one big engine here. click the switch, she would no longer the n j, but it would go back to the diesel, which might give you a little bit more to go reaction. plus the reaction signs on the 1st is the ultra modern vessel is the flagship, but the fleet, it costs around $1000000000.00 euros to build. still this technology doesn't go far enough for the norwegian government people if they want to come into our fjords they've back the wrong force because l n g as far from being a mission free to slip, it may be an improvement of 20 to 25 percent compared to other fossil fuels, and that's far too little and you dial out 2030 until now. only electric power, cruise ships like this one had been able to sail into the fjord without emitting any harmful exhaust. but the power in these huge batteries only lasts about 4 hours

after that the ship relies on l. n. g. the 1st steps toward making cruise ships green there have already been taken. but the technology still has a long way to go. and if nor ways government remains firm, got it wrong, it will see significantly fewer tourists. the port captain thinks of that will have a negative impact reset or else the i for on the we're aware that something has to be done for the environment, not in the but it's all happened very suddenly. and i can hardly imagine the consequences aspect. so i fear for the livelihood of those of us living in these few or that's good and all get here in tulsa boarding the board in if you were on the board captain. and many residents are there for hoping for a transition period, so that tourists can continue visiting the guy wrong. a few words by ship for years to come this is tell me a toe,

a parish priest who lives in the spanish country side. it may sound like a tranquil life, but the tale is in high demand. he attends to more than 40 churches in the region of zamora. it's one of many places where the population has plummeted over the past decades. it's a phenomenon known as empty spain. but tell you when a group of youngsters are trying to break new life into rural areas, tale and the joe in his handful of keys are on their way to one of the 43 churches . he serves the parish priest. them at least stay in the spanish province of the more i drive 50000 kilometers a year coach. i mean, or as a necessity for recreation to the right it is is how do you believe this is one of the villages in his parish? 40 residents a graveyard and a church, a photographer wants to take some interior shots. the tail schedule is full and he

has no time to stare. he moved to at least stay at 29 years ago from the provincial capital of similar us by choice. you could open that up and put the many people in speech. i think that the rural areas are less important because or who died after a few years here. someone asked me when i would be promoted when i would finally be sent to the city in the literally didn't understand that i came here because i wanted to be sure to for the move on to you about it like that. but then yeah, can you spell out the book? it give us that i can tell gives the church key to an elderly couples, so the photographer can take his pictures, seniors like them, keep the village of the lives of many young people move away. that is it almost everything used to be more humane. right now we're alone and need help with is the, the villages are emptying out their tails. mission goes far beyond the religious

as what was on this, i feel the create challenge as it may must restored during the team quality of life regardless of each don't think that they need. we also need to feel young people that they can have a future here on the country side getting and the world. so whatever he needs to present believe so they be that you know, that are not as 15 kilometers away. 54 year old fathered yet to meet with some young catholics. they come together from the nearby villages to pray and discuss problems. they love the region, but many move away and not just for training and education. if that's the tower in the moral emigrating and there are so few of us and young people want to be with people, ro, name, sky, yes, 10 days or so is the way that's why we're here. these thing you can count on me k o tries to boost their self esteem with activities like this because i want the young people

to feel more reachable for me that understand that living in the countryside is worthwhile focused on. yes, i feel no way. i'm only thing the distance and to learn a little, but maybe they'll come back. when do you go to this village or another one of the seats going up beyond what i said, i'll go in. but the harsh reality is the jobs and prospects are few potatoes here, opportunities for he would not keep up. the struggle have you. is there anything you say the door? so you have to be idealistic without mon pico after all, or the reason for the dwindling numbers here that my, that i for the problems that come with them to and people have the power to fix the problem to solve approval. kind of what assume i know is i will consume them, went up with it. i mean good at least the roads are good and the internet works. meetings are being held online, like the one with the citizens initiative working for a functioning health care system for many of the state runs, enters are closed. they want to change that from some of the same as me,

because that's the soonest that i, if the doctors here know clinics could reopen the course on the 30th is done, would entice smoke people to special here that seems like a but above all, those who stayed, would have propaganda. right? yeah, that's good. even i think they have a right to that does i mean individual, the evening j o is celebrating mass and marty on is on his own. he simply can't manage the services of all 43 churches, but he is assisted by other priest and the people here will not give up so easily as we have to give them a holding up the name of the may not have enough firewood eyes, but we keep the embers alive to spread hope then you'll see on if there is no one left, let the last one turn the light. that was, it was what, as long as someone still lives here and you know, we need at least a glimmer him because he mounted in the shop of desperate outside positive

details. the city priest who came to the country once to stay. he's going against the trend, and many here hopeful i will follow his example. for the leaning tower of pisa is world famous, but italy is home to 2 other structures that are off kilter. they are located in the heart of bologna as old city center. the towers of gary's end and as the nellie dates back to the medieval times and their age is showing, despite efforts by engineers to straighten them out, the towers keep moving, and officials fear they could collapse. it's hoped a new restoration project will help them find their footing once and for all. to 900 year old towers stand slanted in the city of balloon, yet 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 lean sharply. now there is real concern. the

towers may collapse up with us and such 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, i've seen the tower tilting further and further. you tell me it's a really important symbol of bologna. we hope with will stay that way and won't have to be torn down a 75 to ensure that doesn't happen. the city council has even brought 70 year old engineer that fail bruni out of retirement. the expert on both towers. she leads the restoration committee. she's headed to the construction site together with her colleagues valuable for landing. but loony 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 that a 100 years after its construction was started. when it reached a height of 60 meters, 12 meters had 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. has continued to crumble. the area around the towers has been cordoned off in norm is 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 because containers, case you put means that they've been studying the towers for years. federal med said he'd be seen. this is how we're attempting to protect the surrounding buildings and the people who continue to pass by here take on seeing what times it got to alex, the concrete anchors hold, the containers down, steal net,

so to be added to protect a 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 iron rings to secure the tower. and in 2021, the foundation was reinforced with steel cables to prevent further cracks. oh boy, bully, we ought to observe the structures here and read it. here. we end here to this is exactly a little bit sort of there gaps in the walls, thickness. we've got a goat as the bird and 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 in the was

leaning towards the northwest to, nobody really knows why people, they think this is where the pendulum is. it's the most visible instrument in the tower. so meet that it starts at the tip and hangs down to here is what up good measurements, the towers movement. i mean, it's our measurement system and shows how much is moving in the system. i think these are what i get to that community. finest the towers the moment sir, the time we've had a moment to that have to offer. 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 to moving into a retirement home is a step that's often rod with emotions, but not for bill wall. he loves his care facility in western england. it's an old folks home with a nursery allowing seniors and children to spend their days side by side. it's giving the elderly a new lease on life, and the kids a chance to learn from their elders. having fun is easy when this thing in the senior citizens residential sounds can home the loan, chester, elderly people to mention patients and kindergarten. children live together. there's children who sold people of the quality people altogether. we will get together. i think it is absolutely

fantastic. i called a my god, to be the being. wilton has at least as much fun playing as the children do. he used to be a truck driver at 80 full p, now needs assistance, and has been living in this in to generational community for 2 years. the visual to, to go over all that to do all this and i'll take a trip, i will fail . jim hughes used to be an engineer. he's showing 3 year olds, jacob, how to handle the trail. these joint activities optional for

young and the old and 9 joyce ace then takes part as often as she can. what's the weight we come down and that's just the they all seem to enjoy clean. this me see here. the guiding principle here is that no one who should feel isolated many or on a 1st name basis. the old residents not also nothing. li, cold, brand friends. i'm very happy to share some of that life experiences with the children at the end. and they just knew how to do the change it to come from that confidence to stay on the line. i think she's, i know the rest of it said it's so fast. and the big thing as well as the communication skills for them to, to, to watch them as well. so what,

how she actually treats takes them somewhere and we get to see the movie that's in front of the project is 2 years old. but it took several years to plan. the it's is a generational concept is new to person. the projects found us hope that community will serve as an inspiration to office. we look to influence on we'll to improve this and australia and, and kind of working with the university on, on models in china because everybody is notice that there is a need for this bill who spends each afternoon with the kids. they call him abil stuff, say the children, the com. when he was that we knew it was what we believed a with what. but what we seen in the last, almost 2 years now has more exceeded expectations in terms of relationships,

in terms of joy. i'm the last thought we have one created for success. is that the elderly i'm the kids not trusted to do quite a bit such as going for walks together. little children, children should be getting it traveling. it's nature every day with the children is a new beginning for e and a and a good day. probably don't. don't worry, don't, don't feel well and state a diamond, don't you go? where do you like? that's all from us. this week i focus on your you can watch more of our stories online on our website at cdw dot com. thanks for your company. bye. for now. the,
