own common ground is empowering women giving them rule making them agents of change the way. to make your stores journey where we see. happy new year and welcome to focus on europe nice to have you with us for our 1st show of 2020 the mountains are my favorite place to be during the holidays perhaps you enjoyed them too the alps especially are perfect for skiing and hiking they attract more and more visitors each year that make miss and you from the mountain top is breathtaking and dangerous many sightseers underestimate the risks time and

again rescue teams are called to save exhausted or injured climbers from dangerous heights. well the frenzy at my blog has reached its peak each year tens of thousands of people come to climb europe's highest mountain some see a chance to connect with nature others see the perfect selfie backdrop the path to the top is full of hazards deaths happen regularly but that doesn't stop inexperience climbers from trying to reach the summit the locals are dismayed and the mare from the neighboring village of south jervy is calling for an end to the mayhem. the snow capped peaks the mountains of cooling and people around who really shouldn't be there drawn by the stunning vistas and the prospect of stunning selfies. it's all about image it's how you portray yourself. and because there's such

a flood of images people choose the dumbest thing to do to get the most likes possible. is the mayor of st germain the main route to mobile runs through his village. what he's observed led him to write a letter to french president in manuel mccall saying not everyone should be allowed to climb the mountain. and you know it was really when the mongrel tramway sets off from saussure vase left by a station. that. christophe from the brook guard or white brigade is on board. where you sleep inside or take troops. are you going to the base camp ok what's your name. president mccall replied to the man's letter

didn't announce any concrete measures. so john markley i decided to take matters into his own hands and set up the brick art launch now anyone who wants to scale the mountain must reserve a place in the chalet and the brigade make sure that the climbers abide by the rules it's an attempt to prevent the worst. loss the only one of the 7 summits that's not regulated and that's not ok so people flock to both in droves this is the mountain station at an elevation of almost $2400.00 natives they didn't complete beginners i aim to scale yours that highest peak some 4810 meters is about the same level as a challenge and adventure i've never been mountain climbing before so i'm giving it a try this new south america overall fits as robin said it's a challenge it's completely new for me too i was never too interested not in climbing and investment free but it's a chance to test your limits and see what you're capable of evolve them on the

phone if you have ever. so many foreigners also want to reach the. but soon realized that the underestimated mom liked some russians who suffered from shortness of breath and impaired vision treatments very difficult for. me so we can move the country to it. that is a storefront green tent a lot of it's. not about real physical condition if you go to the mountains and. if you're out there is most cool normal indians only humans. must remember very little bit stupid. this young man has some climbing experience still kristoff from the book god isn't happy with his gear he says no one should scale amount to dress like this. so you don't need exam you're setting a bad example the last guy we got out dead left 3 grieving kids behind.

a music video shot. more and more people are literally going to extremes to attract attention a british man carried a rowing machine up the mountain to raise money for war veterans and then simply left it there. you know. there's no law preventing them from doing whatever they want. there's not even a law to prevent a rowing machine they can do anything climb up with humpback whales elephants whatever you see everything imaginable. even the jacuzzi i mean they inflated a jacuzzi up there to take a group photo and say look at me it's crazy where's the respect for the environment the respect for the mountain. in france the basic attitude is everything is allowed unless it's expressly forbidden at mom blog

it was long assumed that mountain climbers would be sensible and careful so a system of fines or penalties was never created as a result the police conduct about 80 rescue missions each year often requiring helicopters. left france has 2 traditions it's the land of liberty and the one that rescues you for free you can do the dumbest things helicopter a nice police officers rescue you and some folks take advantage of this. in a nation like france it takes a lot for people to call for regulations but mountain guides and mayors are demanding move rules now to restore respect from all along and prevent it from becoming a mere photo op. many young people living in the countryside dream of working in big cities and that's exactly what good sells and jump over did the entrepreneur left her tiny village to work in moscow but she gave

it all up and returned to her hometown in the year out 2000 kilometers away from the capital the village was at risk of dying out as people sought opportunities elsewhere or good as a wanted to bring new life into the town so she brought her know how from moscow to the countryside and that's where she found a recipe for success. welcome to mali tourists a little village in the you're all mountains like many other villages in russia it was on the verge of dying out only 20 houses were still inhabited. of its 500 former inhabitants just 50 remained. but them along came google's honorable. common small and look like a boy she says but don't underestimate me google calls herself a social entrepreneur and her cell phone is a constant companion question pascha greetings from the village and thanks but

a surrogate thanks from molly cherish. our. culture to death of what the she makes of video thanking each and every customer because ordering jam from good old means helping the village to or to let in and people need to know they're doing something good everyone who contributes something belongs to us where a whole army of people who want to change things. for jam from mali tourists jars of strawberry and raspberry jam are sent across russia many go to private customers. they even cut the labels themselves. for herbal tea is also produced here from ingredients that grow right outside the window. most of the women here are retired long ago. they call themselves. or grandmothers and the bushes themselves decide who gets to work here.

this may remember the one who only lasted 2 days we told her stay home you're too slow. the women all come from mali tourists or neighboring villages. we chat and tell jokes and laugh. the whole village can hear it when the windows are open. but the. sweet spoons for tea are something they dreamed up themselves they're made using syrup from wild herbs and dried berries. or the latest sensation see buckthorn and cinnamon. a moscow based organic food store chain has now ordered 8000 of the sweet spoons for people who long for village life whose will says. that. if that was your chest you drink your tea made from a teabag at the office but would much rather have a team from the summer like at home. but if you don't take vacation he has the

solution take a spoon dip it in your adult teeth and sense how some a smell. work has gotten around that google pays good money for berries and herbs. molly tirzah is lucky to have someone like who's older she set up a little library here though it doesn't look like many people use it. she's also arranged for garbage collection still a rarity in many russian villages. a larger role is so impressed she's leaving the big city to move back to mali turkish. she still fixing up the house she's inherited but soon she'll move in with her husband and child. to teach us. that we said since we met everything's changed now we want to give it

a try. but we're fixing up the house and taking a stab at village life well. he didn't take. the house is small just 2 brooms and an entrance hall grandparents built it but it's still in good shape she hopes to find work here google told her she needs someone to help manage the company. in the city use it between concrete walls and you come home from work and don't know what to do with yourself. but here you go out into the garden pick a bit of deal and make yourself a salad it's much nicer. next door in the factory they're almost done with the order from the moscow organic food chain. everyone's in a great mood like always. google says that at some point molly tourist will get along fine without her. and then she'll move

on to another building and create something new there. where will i be in 10 years time somewhere out in nature or use a bird or maybe in an airplane because i'll have to fly back and forth between lots of villages i hope. you have noise. because russia has many villages like mali tourist that need someone like you so. we often hear of animals on the brink of extinction but rarely do we hear of a species recovering from that danger well the european wolf is one such example since it successful repopulation decades ago the wolves are thriving in places like poland they are a protected species there and can only be hunted in special cases bad news for sheep from around the. the wolves are threatening her flock and her livelihood

right out and her neighbors now want their numbers to be scaled back. sheep farmer a not a cause the anger is anxious about the future. because the sheep are easy prey for worlds. not them some of my sheep were killed in this matter. once it happened right before the eyes of my mother in law who helps me she was standing here and all at once a wolf came out all of this bush and killed one of the sheep wolves are everywhere . 30 years ago not a cause the on the left the city moved to the country to raise sheep. she owns 50 hectares of land. the used to be very few wolves and the biggest cherry mountain region she says but in recent years her flock has been attacked by wolves time and time again. once she lost $48.00 sheep in a single year. when wolves attacked farm animals but falls under the

jurisdiction of the regional head office for environmental protection. who had fed him determines whether the animal really was killed by a wolf and how much compensation will be paid today he's visiting breeder vet as well from us. there was one maximum 2 wolves but they're only a part of their prey so it's possible they were interrupted by dogs but little calf weighed 10 maybe 20 kilos not more. but as well from us for seize 14 zloty or 3 euros 30 per kilo as compensation for the calf. the farmer keeps 14 dogs to protect his herd but even they can't prevent the attacks altogether. some of them are little packs of just 2 wolves are the worst even run after people and herds of sheep they watch them very closely then one distract the watch dogs while

the other attacks the sheep. according to official statistics between 195-1970 poland's wolf population was just 56 animals. but over the years their numbers have grown significantly today it's estimated there are close to 3000 wolves. so mermen and animals are increasingly getting in each other's way . since 2001 have been a protected species in poland so they can't be hunted you just the question should be so not some hurt owners are really in a drastic situation. they can't eat or sleep cold blood sugar and if we really have around 3000 wolves in poland then why not reduce their numbers that would help those affected in. the moment share. in poland wolves can only be killed in specific cases and special approval from the authorities as required. that approval was given in b.s. chaddy last summer after

a female wolf attacked the boy and girl into neighboring towns. we had to drive the children to school because young children my grandchildren included were afraid you that you don't i mean the path runs along the road when a wolf appears on the road children get scared. they act like even if they do not and if welfare is an inner courtyard then it's a danger isn't it. to be otherwise or so we should kill it. any minute watching up at. the female wolf was killed later turned out she clearly grown accustomed to humans. in the past people of fedor bred so she lost her fear of humans. rather because the amber also applied for a special permit in order to protect their sheep. the hunter later killed the wolf in a pasture. that mcgonagall qantas can only kill wolves during a certain period. i don't understand that because then you're missing the mark. and

since the wolf in my area was shot the number of my animals killed has fallen drastically since then other walls have avoided my posture. and that's a sign that it works. but the wolves won't stay away forever. but if the numbers keep increasing the way they have in recent years. with the special licenses be enough to keep the wolf population under control. the future doesn't look too bright for bisciotti and sheep farmers they fear that the wolves will want to take back the territory but then the herds will be trenton's not just by lone wolves but by entire parks. with age comes wisdom and for some it's a bittersweet realisation for pensioners and prison time cannot heal all wounds the

violent criminals must face the fact that prison could be their last stop for these people in jail functions more as a retirement home an increasing number of correctional facilities are adapting to their aging populations with programs like occupational therapy and memory training despite a life sentence many are still motivated to stay fit until the end. of all time prison is a jail for seniors in eastern germany. germany's population is aging and so is the prison population here. the men locked up at waldheim are doing time for robbery fraud sexual offenses or murder one of the most violent offenders card some a man has been here for 6 years like most of the inmates he's running out of time on another day gone family photos are all he has left the thought of seeing his 4

grandchildren as a free man is what keeps him going. the plane you know the little one here is almost 5 for me i only know him from photos. and every now and then i have a granddaughter who be too soon. who i only know from this picture here was intended to help. him a man is serving a life sentence for murder after stabbing his neighbor to death. the business by mel i know that when i stopped her for the 1st time in longing she looked at me why died and said that's me because i'm your quote are you crazy. just to feel it. now tonight is over and then she didn't say any more. i don't know why stop there 26 times more is

a question i can answer to this day. before. he says the victim had ridiculed him for years due to his amputated leg at least that's his story at some point he just snapped. 3 times a week the elderly inmates get to do some gardening if they want. but not all of them repent their crimes. shell i mean when you hear my syllabi. if you steal cars you'll go to jail. sure pretty girls nice cars and money so no i'm in jail. but no joke this is the best job i've ever been a mistake not what we give up. that's why it's hard to get into this prison inmates must apply for a cell in advance. meals are served several times a day by mr me who's serving time for fraud the days when prisoners were only given

bread and water or long gone. these days there's something to suit every taste in mates with sensitive stomachs can request a bland diet. there are also meatless dishes for vegetarians and pork free cold cuts for muslims. who need to be. compared to the other 3 prisons i've been in this is like a retirement home. you know they have everything here. today's a table tennis group. they do everything for you. i mean i don't want to hyper too much but considering why we're here is it's a retirement home just this one. you know one of the services offered is air go therapy occupational therapist cut clench myself says inmates limited freedom of movement makes this an assessor take. a mile with the risk of fulls increases.

so we try to train the muscles and sense of balance to prevent this those conditions for sure don't die oh boy. peter p. is a convicted murderer still smiter gives him the best of care today he's getting a couple massage for back pain in the shop and the cupping stimulates the circulation and relaxes the muscles so i hope that eases his pain somewhat. don't you always say it's the highlight of your week it is a year ago he had a long removed due to cancer and is reliant on an oxygen device 24 hours a day. he could be released in 5 years' time what are his chances. and $73.00 now so you'll be. 78 at least.

one teacher if you got. your just read it. for some here a life sentence really gives for life. skiing in denmark the country is known for its flatland and the sandy coasts not majestic mountains so winter sports fans normally have to travel abroad to hit the slopes but that could soon change in the capital copenhagen skiers and snowboarders can hit the east and enjoy a view of this sea on the way down so what's the catch say for yourself. waste incinerators are usually i souls but in copenhagen this one's rapidly becoming a famous landmark not only is it a step pleasing it's operators call it the world's cleanest and most energy efficient way to power plant. but what's really spectacular about it is its roof

which doubles as a ski slope and hiking trail. it's not just about skiing we were eating a bit of nature to the city with real biodiversity in the middle of copenhagen where you can now go skiing and experience nature. you know. to operate year round they replaced snow with plastic grass simply grows through it a fox has even been spotted here in copenhagen real estate is at a premium so letting such a huge amount of roof space lie idle wasn't an option in addition to the 400000000 euros for the new vice incinerator deigns invested another 80000000 in the roof project see that as an opportunity. when you invest so much money to do something more so instead of having separated. from practicalities trying to merge them into something new. as with the construction of bike parts dane's span

no expense on such projects they figure they'll save on health care costs of city dwellers get more exercise so folks can hike here for free though they fade to skate $365.00 euros for a year long pass or 20 euros per day the income earned from this ski rentals and food and drink sales should cover the running costs copenhagen ski is thrilled just like us when our show france italy it's a very hard but. it's when you just have to put fresh air i've been living in knowing for 13 years and they've been teaching me about flat denmark and i'd be like ok. we built our own monsters down here so it is a crazy idea but it's good. it's a fantastic calling card the danish business the architecture firm responsible for the project has been commissioned to design a landscape truth with ski slopes need paris denmark is helping other cities go

green. all that's missing is the affray scheme thanks for watching focus on europe if you have any questions about this week's show you can get in touch with me on twitter by for now. going to go.
