the stigma responsibilities and defending children rights and the really cool for a ceasefire and, and continue to look to see and i look push for everyone, not only the parties to the conflict, but also those who have their own thoughts over them to uh, to actually uh, step up and, and actually need the responsibilities of as an international community. those are the top stores that's our, on our, to international. thank you for watching heads on one side. aren't you to come from? what i've they show on josh. i'll see you of the top of a all with the the

plus the silver. so the move up to somebody. how can it be that um the ship to the middle east from a country whose top officials constantly complain about shortages of munitions and military equipments grew a little paying the boy a bit of boss and milk, or even maybe a little in your system with bloomgreen lives nominal facility or some of those other slash we, i'm about to the easiest you to know, you know, so what are we and we'll have an easy somebody remember bubble, a sort of wellness that used to have gone on. now, why are weapons from ukraine spreading over the world? to turn this country into a major arms hub, will continue to bolster ukraine's and forces by rushing them occasionally is that they need to defend their country. the everyone knows very well that we don't sell

but known as pineapples or any kind of children's toys. we sell weapons. yes. we're also known in the world as items dealers. we must not be ashamed of them. the hi. i'm sean thomas and this is inland vision's a show where we meet extraordinary people and travel to amazing places so that we can all understand each other just a little bit more. and today we're in rosa. this is an impressive ski resort to just 40 minutes from the sun and see of searching, but as beautiful as all this is, there is a blooming danger that people just don't fully realize avalanches. and we're here to meet the team, the kids to them and check the

learn more about the tickets of this fascinating job. we're going to get you started fidelity out. it was part of rosa tours avalanche control to the

very day. thanks for meeting us out here. to talk us through all this, i guess i'll start off by saying nature is completely unpredictable. but this is that you have an amazing ability to negotiate with this know talk to me about this and how do you know what to do? well, i think it would be a bit too low to claim we can actually negotiate with smo. unfortunately, all communication with nature is only unit directional. we could listen to it, but we can't impose on terms on it. and all we can do is trying to sign for the clues left by nature, this note, and the way that we know location right now is there understand that there's a lot of moving parts. it's much more complicated than people realize. it's not just one person or a couple people, it's an entire group of people working together to make this happen. can you talk me through this process? if i come up with uh, talking about teamwork, we have a mediator ologist to monitor the conditions and prepare the full costs for the

next 2 or 3 days. a couple of people who lives of the snow and those who maintain the equipment we can use to trigger avalanches if necessary. if this work is 247, at least while we have snow on the slopes. it's a continuous cycle. we have about 40 people on our team during the winter periods. actually, the thanks for leaving us out here. it's a beautiful day. i have to ask for producing the weather is difficult to do accurately under regular conditions. how do you do it out here in the mountains, under these conditions that i think the geographical position, the landscape, and the proximity of the black sea creates very specific conditions for this region . what else see behind us be great to call cause this rain spring,

which holds back the air mass is coming to us from the west, but you have and accordingly we witness a very large amounts of precipitation. here you can see there's no cold, there's already 2.5 meters here, the before we have for me to this see. and so these regions, these cabinets are wise by a very large accumulation of snow. and in fact, it is quite difficult to predict the weather in such a condition source. because we're talking about avalanches that i have to ask when is the most dangerous time for an end of life to occur? is it immediately after a snowfall or when the weather is nice and clear like this? but just to, to yes, a heavy snowfall does cause problems for all of the launch control. so this, we can literally see 72, a 2 centimeters of smelt. if you all of us, very often we gotta meet sale snowfall, overnights. and of course, the results is never fully open in such conditions because the avalon stage increases dramatically. but even create a while that can be dangerous. for example, when we have a long periods of people about this know, become sweats,

which increases the load or the snow tack and decrease its ability. in general, you need experience and certain specific approach, the size of the avalon situation. but in general, yeah, the mouldings hands, the snow falls, the higher most seriously. i have a lot of things you becomes and since you have the media, i was just have to say, thank you for such a beautiful weather today. we can do it without your help. thank you very much. all in the to how do you actually measure the level of dangerousness of those particular slope . how do you look at it and say that's dangerous. we can go there. filament, we've been studying this area for a long time, you know, doesn't just have to carry a certain strength level for avalanches. so every year we kind of know what to

expect for me cuz i don't want to have a launch conditions they have met. and so, and then we take measures accordingly, something like that. well, so slow now is understand that you get down to an actual microscopic level looking at the snow, the type of snow, the different types of snow crystals. how does that actually help you assess the danger level? i mean, is it really, is that specific truck or cover partic? uh, most reliable information on avalon changes comes from direct observation. it's what we touch with our hands. they'll walk on with our feet or see inside a test page for most of us, and we always dig smooth bits like measure the different temperatures inside the smooth mask. starting the less formed off the rest series of snow falls and do a number of tests to determine the stability of those last. we then try to extrapolate information obtained in one location on to other zones, because it's not always possible to dig tests bits, but i said, you know,

some of the occasions can be dangerous. so we only dig in safe places. the steepness of the slope winds the temperature humidity. this all has a factor in whether there is a danger of an avalanche. what's the most important factors, or do they all work together? well, we would say that any effect it could prove to be decisive on any given day. typically, the most important factors are the amount of snow and the steepness of the flight from your good. but they're all days when the most avalanche problem places are okay. uh, why don't you get an avalon to somebody you never expected? oh, should we say in places that are not typical in syria? you said that something along the lines of a mistake with an avalanche work. i should never happen. in fact, when it comes to your work, a mistake is life or death. is that not a lot of pressure is your job dangerous? so i'm the overall it is who we are. we are responsible for the safety of our

guests under mistake by an avalanche worker can be much more than that, especially when there are multiple mistakes that works. if a worker gets cause their napa launch or there's an incident, usually it's down to a series of most takes. the risk management is a key is it allows us to assess situations according to the danger level and come up with an appropriate way to handle them. so as a professional, find himself in danger, that means he's made a number of mistakes. by the way, that's why i say it's wrong when professionals get into such situations. so i will put that in that case if it was um, have you ever been in a situation where you see a dangerous area, but you can't reach it, you can't do anything about it. what do you do then? how do you handle that situation to that happens all the time? oh, the easiest thing you can do is restrict access to that area. the mountains are challenging to rain and it's not always possible to get to a place you want to reach in order to take a better look or to bring explosives for some other action. if that's the case,

we just close of the area and keep away when you go a say, let's go see what else we can find in the mountains. the absolutely beautiful up here, a little bit scary, but beautiful. so let's say that you find an area that an avalanche is likely and you need to release that energy. how do you go about doing that or try to most of these areas where identified a long time ago. and they have stationary systems installed, which allow us to trigger avalanches that remotely talking about areas that don't have such station or resistance. what we do is often we set off and have a launch. we send a patrol at to see what's new cub a still remains of the identified xbox with further action may be needed. and then

we take it right here, here at the rosa hotel that you guys have some of the best state of the art equipment for combating avalanches. what do you have? it's primarily a gas system running on a mixture of propane and oxygen. this is the shed that holds the equipment entity links to designate has prompted in spots with avalanches originate. uh so, so now the system is controlled remotely from a safe distance. it can be operated even at night on it. so we can choose the exact moment we need down to the 2nd that makes the system different from other traditional tools such as explosives, or on tillery, which can only be used in good weather. with great visibility. all system works in any conditions at any time of day to the other thing we rely on the compliments the system is explosive symbol. we use the binary type uh, the helpful in place is that the gas balance system can't reach wherever it's improved, less effective. for some reason. people keep going through a number of different systems and they will have the strength and can be helpful in

some situations. but we've settled on these 2 for the time being as i'll go to solutions. i mean, i guess systems and explosives. no, i'm sure that no avalanche is the same. how do you know what methods and techniques to use against this avalanche as opposed to that avalanche per se? but we install station we systems where possible and the choice that resolve the estimate. if we have a gas of a launch control system in a certain spot, which that's what we use, one of us, they protect most of us loops. if we don't have a course of action will depend on the level of danger and on how necessary avalanche mitigation is. it may well be the case that it's not worth it. let's look up. we may be able to just close off an area for a while, which is also possible a job, and one of the most effective eval launch control techniques. you can say we close off some areas, set off explosives in others, but most of the work is done by our station re systems. now a lot of your work is done at night. and how is it possible for you to control

something as big as an avalanche in complete darkness? that's odd question to answer. we don't really control avalanches during us know full. i'll meet the early just to take measurements every hour. so we know exactly how much the snow cover has grown. we know which way the wind is blowing and we can make assumptions about certain areas that should have enough smooth for all mitigation activities to be effective. if it helps that we can do that remotely. also, we have snow grooming equipment operating at night when it's safe. the truck drivers provide us with valuable information about any slides that have occurred and this size, that helps us a lot. you know what? because the data we get from people on the ground is the most effective tool for ensuring safety. we know that you do an excellent job here at the rosa filter in controlling avalanches, but we know that there are people will call them free riders if you will. they go off piece to specifically go to places where the slopes are not groomed. how

often do they cause avalanches and how do you deal with them such as the loser? who is the corporate us? that does happen quite often. skiing off piece by default means that you own an avalanche problem. slope. yeah, which result we monitor the slope trigger have a launch is restrict access to certain areas and can take other steps. we don't have the same level of control outside designated skiing areas. after every snowfall free right as a rush to low slope like maniacs, they often neglect safety rules and underestimate their abilities or strength. they crave a dreamily and excitement to a degree wherever it interferes with self preservation. yes, they do get caught in avalanches. thankfully, these are mostly small slides that aren't that dangerous and can't do much damage. or a many of the launch is like that, which mainly go on notice because nothing major happens over before. right? it gets into one, takes himself out. that moves on lunch with us is that sometimes people without

realizing it trigger avalanches that can't affect others. that's how to control the way for me, all we can do is keep reminding people who go off, paste the. they are responsible not just for their own safety, but also for the safety of others close to a year before going that they should make sure that they've taken all the safety precautions the, the most spectacular defense with the most breathtaking views. it's amazing to watch what's going on in the heads of the off piece to skiers and snow borders. when they're racing down the mountains. galaxy silver live is a professional snowboarder folk style and a big air prize winner. i'm sure he had some answers, the

hello. hello. so actually how you doing? good night. you too. cool. so i've seen the videos of what you do. it's breathtaking. all inspiring. absolutely. amazing. um, what is this for you? is this a hobby? is this a way of life? uh, talk to me about what is this for you guys or whatnot? i'll tell you one thing. see you'll snowboarding, m, as soon as you try to give it up, life becomes impulsively boring and stressful. when you realize you just can't go on without snowboarding or that this is the 1st, may even fundamental moment. people close around you emotions that you can't get anywhere else the other way. so many people, it's the adrenalin that tickles your senses and gives you so much power than what people who are addicted to a genuine. nice. so take me through this a little bit. you're out there. maybe each time it's different. you're going down

the course, what's going through your mind, what kind of you mentioned new emotions. but like what's actually going through your mind when you're actually out there on the course. this depends on weather conditions, a bubble, and wouldn't it also depends on the terrain that there was some pressure. these sites like the way you can relax and just let yourself go, enjoy the right and not worry about anything more sort of flag under a slides where you have to stay absolutely focused 100 percent of the time for even 150 percent of the time, assess the risk, so not make any rush 1000000 because any slight error might send you off a cliff will provide an avalanche. mm hm. now you mentioned some of the dentist there. let's talk a little bit more about that. you have to admit it is really dangerous. what you do when you go to these extremes and you could be causing danger for other people. have you caused an avalanche yourself? um, or have you been in an avalanche? what's that like with the island? is this month of all right, what i'd say by so regardless of how many years experience a will snowboarding you have, or how much of

a pro you all should be on the deal never to get calls in the novel launch. a never have to say anyone from an avalon disability they will be perfect for the avalon is equipment to never be used as a horse to to uh, but situations do it. uh, rep, i'm still going. yeah. they sees and i got calls in the small have it on, i activation my app. i love the avalon is rolling down while i'm on the stairway. so you open ended up just fine. if there was some unprepared people in my place, but as a child or teenager or just a purse do not re tool, they must have been pulled into the avalanche and there's no telling how it could have ended for them. now i've heard it been said that you can tell a free rider from a regular scare because they always have a backpack with them. they always have equipment with them. what is the one thing that you always have with you that you need to have when you're out there on your own? yeah, but that's why i say the most essential thing is to try and save a because even if you don't have a shovel approval or an avalanche backpack with an ad bug, which i'm trying to see, but might still help the rescue team find you like even though it's like get their own time, you stand a chance. if you get caught in an envelope from buried under the snow and you don't

have a trans eva, so there's no way anyone can locate, you already know there's a really tiny chance of success. only if perhaps, as a knowledge rest easy on the avalon to smoothly pop up. even if you have just inches of snow covering you know, and what have you. even if we're sounds at the top of your voice, smooth muscle school will sound a sight to do the same time when babies inside this know, what do i do here? absolutely. everything happening on top. your head people will come right to you and talking to each other either won't. they won't have a sound, not even if you keep challenging for help me police. now it's safe to say that the people who build the skied courses and on pieced activities they would like for you to stay on peace. but that's not going to happen. you are a free writer by trade. is there any way to make your job safer or what you do safer in the future to being a present any problem? also, training on being professional avalon training in order to understand how is

a works. that's a kind of weather conditions affect the snow in terms of increasing ne, using a child. so an avalanche. do you have to keep upgrading your knowledge and skills and it goes no 70 for free? my guides, but we'll say for free. why does he do it? for fun, yet another thing you can do is ride in different places in different snow conditions and hit the slopes with experience right is we would help you to have more about how to stay safe, the replacement, the shared regions, which i'd have to be prepared for situations which means looking for bodies and if they hear this sound, that means this is the right place to look the find out more the

thank you for taking the time to meet me out here. uh you have an incredibly important job. um, do you know how many lives you saved? well, that's part of the item. you know, great. the indicates or quality work for us service is not the number of people rescued from avalon. she is the number of people not cold in the fall. so thank god we don't have to search for people and rescue them from avalon, she is. so an avalanche happens so quickly, it's hard to remember what to do if you actually get into one. i guess the best way to survive and have lunch is to not get in one of the 1st place. i would say yes, it's best to stay out of an avalanche. that's how you stay alive you. if you're a swept away by an avalon shift, the only thing left to do is grab the strap of the air bags backpack, and close your mouth to create a kind of chain, but in which you've embrace beside the big of the chain. but the best of the

chances of survival are no longer the timeframe. yeah, i mean, they do as long. so if an avalanche happens, how do you know if someone is actually a victim? if someone is actually caught under the avalanche, especially if it happens of pieced beautiful are to this way it all the we need to take eye witness statements and your or if there are any, can we use? the 1st risk you is on the scene, conduct a sensor search for the for if, if there's a person with sensors in the avalon community, it's very important to educate. but would you please leave your trying to see what was on always there used to then there was a device called reco. one didn't know that any reads the reflect to itself, but it can also read phone ships. and if all these devices fail to help us meet them, we stand in the line and start probing through the avalon slide. you know, if an avalanche happens and i'm caught in one. so what do i need to do? we've touched on this a little bit already. in order to survive,

and maybe what do i need to not do. so my go on, the most important thing is to try to stay calm is go with what is doing at that point you've done everything you can do. then your only hope is your friends. the people who deal with the the vast majority of victims can't even move. that thing goes on because the avalon sheets of this low as it moves and solidifies when it stops going through the snow turns into concrete. so there's nothing you can do and it was more of a just what we do ahead with your thoughts and hope that your friends will help you when you're well known to do what i like. consist of your breath, so as not to waste precious oxygen. basically that's all i've seen, you have different equipment that you can use to help find people in an avalanche from your experience. what's the best equipment that people can have? the shovel, this poll that they have the beeper from your experience, what works best for all of these devices. an airbag backpacks have come

a long way in the last 20 years. so an anti avalon check impact definitely increases your ability to stay on the service to also try and see, but it's extremely fluid is to go off the east with the houses group with appropriate a shovel in your backpacks and trusted friends here, which is that is you don't go off piece with people, you don't know. they might not know how to assemble the shovel. that's alone and find you on the old line smo with the trends save up to go. i think you do an excellent job in informing people what to do, what not to do. but if someone gets caught in an avalanche, they can't move. they can't be heard from under the snow. what are their chances of survival and for how long can they actually stay down there? which is sort of 80 percent of people coach in an avalon who are dug out in the 1st 10 minutes to live discipline and 40 percent in the 1st 15 minutes. so you get a sense of how the jones is dropped. but of course, there are known cases where people have been in an avalon for several hours before

and have been dug out and live to tell the tale. that's a read case. those are the lucky ones. i know i've heard that different countries have different rates of survival depending on the type of snow that is there. what type of snow do you have here in rosa which are and what are your chances of survival it and of an avalanche here. you can also, but i think 1590 percent of the cases, i mean we can talk about the surface of a launch is something that is smooth, that is just folding and not bonded with the old snow. what so it falls try. so that is what we're talking about most of the time. no, but i mean whether there are exceptionally is like this one we, where we have to deal with avalon she is that a much deeper on a massive scale. but it's so unusual rubric a photograph of them. so to summarize, if you have mountains and you have snow, you have a potential avalon danger, you have to be prepared for that. so you have to understand that that the phone,

if i'm not opinion my stuff. thank you very much for taking the time. i've learned a lot and i know a little bit more what to look out for a 2nd. the so how much time does somebody have to spend in the mountains here to become a professional in the avalon for businesses to pick up? the general consensus is that it takes at least 5 v as in one place for you to learn the roads and begin to understand things that makes you a beginning, a level avalanche control specialist, and it takes a lot longer to become a good one to turn the idea you should be learning all the time. also we should. we haven't gone cold uncle your show right now grouping. yeah, he's been doing this for 30 years. and every year he learned something new and he shifts his knowledge with the younger generations. and we know that it's dangerous . in fact, we just start the palm of your job happening right now. but uh is it your dream job?

do you love what you do? what are the for some, it's a dream job. many people come to us believing that this is something romantic and beautiful, but actually, i don't think it's a dream job because you, there's a very heavy burden of responsibility. and if you take it seriously, it's quite hard, quite difficult. so i wanna just consider the fact that i'm in this place as my destiny. faith brought me to my job and i've accepted it for, but i wouldn't let my children to do this work, said adrian, job or not. we really appreciate you doing what you do. thank you very much for showing us around. thanks. appreciate the

the show seemed wrong. just to shave house after and engagement because the trail when so many find themselves worlds of parts,

we choose to look so common ground the the russia condemns are green and its main sponsor to the united states during an emergency you and security council session over a deadly attack on a plane carrying presidents awards. last profess keeps stuff said nothing when it comes to serve in the west. the training leadership is well aware of the route and method of transporting soldiers to the place of the pre agreed exchange. the fact that it is ready to sacrifice any number of its own citizens for western geo political interest. there's no secret to anyone. a new credit as applied for quarters of the downed aisle 7, a 6. so solve each on the press side, preliminary findings of the russian investigative committee points to atlanta across from.
