i'm not laughing at the germans or the something but they said nothing with the b. the german thinks deep into the german culture. you could get the grammar here you know it's all about their new i'm rachel join me for me to get to the host. hello and welcome to this week's focus on hero of show and it's great to have you with us the russian opposition leader alex enough ali is still recovering after being poisoned by the military grade nerve agents novacek the attack on him has also poisoned relations between the e.u. nato and russia. this video shows not only before the attack campaigning in the

russian town of novels he beares he became popular for uncovering corruption and mismanagement and for his videos exposing the luxurious homes of politicians loyal to the government he's regarded as the leader of the opposition. now vali has been a thorn in the side of russian president vladimir putin for a long time the kremlin has tried to stop now with exclusion from elections prosecution and even jail time but all the efforts have failed so far russians who openly criticized putin are aware of how dangerous it is especially for the leaders of protests and opposition our moscow correspondents met up with some of them. piotr there's the love knows all too well what it means to enjoy life one day at a time ever since he was poisoned in moscow in 2018 much like opposition activist aleksei never any in august this year unlike now though he showed no signs of the nerve agent not each shark. always that aboard the ship with 3 of the g.

my poisoning was weaker my recovery went faster. by the 2nd week of treatment i could talk again would i get the is a very strong torch of a future for good i can cripple or kill someone before we knew each other and each like is ideally suited to murder that was that it was going to be way. like never any bears the love a long time spokesman of the punk band pussy riot was treated in berlin sherry tay hospital based on the symptoms doctors found the activist had probably been poisoned though they could not identify a specific toxin as they now have 4 never any support so. i think the use of newby chalk carries the handwriting of the russian president with. one thing is clear that only the secret services have access to special weapons agents. and they

could only have carried out this operation with the express consent of law the mere puton we're going to put the meat good coffee is certain it's meant as a warning shot to all well known opposition activists the liberals were not allowed to field candidates for the election to the moscow city duma. from the rhinestone planning part of this country freedom and justice don't exist here anyone who calls for a demonstration can be put behind bars for 30 days. good cause knows what he's talking about he spent 36 days in prison but the mass protests came to a head when opposition candidates were barred from running in the election to the moscow duma. in 2019 independent local politician. was another well known face at the mass protests in moscow. and that dog of the was the forget that we live in enough for a tarion state a dictatorship whose beginnings could be made out as soon as lattimer putin took

office. i mean i paid for her political activism with several prison terms each a few weeks long the last time she was arrested alone in moscow with just a poster while protesting against the detention of a reporter charges were brought for violations of the right of assembly and she was sentenced to 5 years in prison. and invited me to one more i'm not afraid but this trial is making things hard for me i'm not allowed to leave moscow for example i'm not allowed to take part in any more protests that restricts me quite a lot with. the governor was more. on the state as your 1st 3 your own protected. no body guard will be able to save your life. so most of the city what you might protect you from hooligans but not from poisoning or murder. even so he has no intention of giving up the poisoning of alexei never any might weaken the russian

opposition says he. but he was only its best known face not its only leader. but lead to this effect only works that the opposition is not just one single leader but if you have several heads it doesn't they can't poison us all and in fact there are lots and lots of people in russia who aren't afraid to protest anymore because the desire for a change in the system is growing stronger and stronger. since he recovered putin critic. also has been politically active again he sees it as his responsibility to press on for himself and for his daughter. my friends my family and my daughter to live in a magnificent country without putin and his treacherous system. i'm certain of this school. but in the meantime. won't let his daughter out on the street along

every morning he brings her to school personally. would you say no to this job offer like robinson crusoe you get to live all alone on a beautiful island located between corsica and sardinia you are surrounded by nature and your only task is to protect the famous pink beaches of the italian island well the man in our next reports took on the dream job of island guardian for over 30 years but now he's been ordered to leave although his job is nonce unimportance very. well you can't come in here because you see the red boys. roam around he is able to drive these 2 would be intruders away. if i were to your they'd already be lying on the beach. would follow their lead and soon the

whole place was full of people like accused to be. morandi is defending this. on the island of delhi one of the most famous speeches on the mediterranean it's being sad it's unique. and around he has been caring for this natural wonder for over 3 decades he got stranded here back in 1909 while heading for the atlantic in his catamaran. marandi happened upon the little islands between corsican sardinia quite by accident. he's lived here on his own and watched over to delhi ever since at 81 he's still almost comically self-sufficient. when i came to the island i couldn't even change a lightbulb. but here i was forced to acquire all sorts of important survival skills. like a modern day robinson crusoe he uses everything the island's rugged terrain has to

offer like prickly pears and aloe vera. i also use the ilo as a medicinal plant to treat cuts and scrapes and above all. because the only shady spot on view deli is by his house miranda is only companions are his 2 hands to keep him hopping here's what. they jump over the brush and lay their eggs elsewhere. so he can't count on eggs for breakfast. that's a dead person is the friend did with supply him with food morandi was once a teacher and lives from his pension. i used to go shopping myself but then i was forbidden from using the motorboat. so now i have to rely on others his days in paradise look to be numbered soon there could be no more rubber boat on the beach

and no more around you and. that's it the administration of the national park on the main island madalena has its way the whole model an archipelago is run from here to delhi included. to build a research station there in place of. future visitors to the pink beach to better consciously enjoy the natural beauty before their eyes. the operators of the national park want marandi to leave 6 years ago the italian government purchased new delhi which had been privately owned they say miranda's contract as the island's caretaker is now normal and void. in public administration positions are publicly advertised candidates must be suitable. and several need to apply sort of. but morrow marandi won't be pushed out of paradise without putting

up a fight using instagram as his weapon he's one close to $60000.00 followers they have launched a petition demanding he be allowed to stay and continue posting photos of rule breakers. i need this life here it's my mission and i hope the folks from the national park finally get that. many day trippers who visit here legally in the summer and keep to the prescribe paths think that this rosa or pink beach needs protection from the tourists towards. and those who have met him our real marandi agree that he and his way of life are worth protecting to. morrow should stay not just because of the island he makes reflect what are our needs where do we come from. as long as he lives and who knows how long that will be he should be allowed to

continue. our own marandi can't imagine being banished from his island paradise he plans to stay live in his hut and continue his work protecting delhi and its pink beach. they are loud they are proud and they want to be accepted as part of the polish society homosexuals and transgender people are leading a difficult life in their country which is still largely catholic even the government is calling for a ban of what it calls ideology but that's not keeping clear activists from taking to the streets in cities like war so and large they want their cries for equality to be heard even if that means being arrested. a peaceful demonstration. protester serve the police

acted against them with the president and severity. go here in the right is the icon of the polish l g b t movement the movement for gay lesbian and transgender rights she was arrested join the protests together with about 50 other activists this is what margot had to say shortly before her arrest let me say for you are we are not afraid we are gays and lesbians in poland and we aren't afraid of anything in this darn country it can't get any worse and we'll fight back if we have to because this is our country our poland our home. since this escalation there's been rallies sort of warsaw and elsewhere and solidarity with thousands of participants. almost every weekend they take to the streets against violence and homophobia. one of the

demonstrators is to write a study at school. travel from march to warsaw to protest against the discrimination case and faces. she isn't intimidated by the authorities it represent is. we founded the group we parents because we're also affected as parents of homosexual children it's. our children are systematically excluded attacked speaking up. but we stand by them. at their home and larch the router her husband and son cayetano watching a video from a demonstration in august they say the violence against gays and lesbians is escalating and it's hard for them to watch. was also there and he too shocked the ground and. if you watch the news from the past few. days it now seems socially acceptable to do something like this. just yesterday

a gay couple was beaten up in front of their own apartment that's. what actually is against the law in poland is hiding a rebel flag on a memorial. the harmless it's considered a desecration monuments according to polish law for which one can be thrown into prison. for violence over the last weeks is proof that this is becoming a dangerous war of cultures gays and lesbians are increasingly considered fair game in conservative poland some communities even the clear themselves l g b t free zones under proud of it. to stop the eskies fear for their son and even more so since the reelection of the conservative law and justice party pressure is increasing on those who don't follow what is considered the norm. from hundreds between western europe and russia. and for years the country was also somewhere in between when it came to homophobia. now we're going we're in the

direction of russia but it's getting worse and worse. the polish government sees it completely differently of course and blames demonstrators for the violence with alleged video evidence. toys but they're bandits that's just banditry. that the opposition is still defending only switches or regis said they should apologize a little east and to the citizens to perceive that this new torch will be. the e.u. is observing the developments in poland with concern and the e.u. commissioner for equality has called on the government to respect the rights to demonstrate. and those are just words they don't help the 26 year old and his rainbow community in their daily lives. the question is whether the commission wants to intervene at all. for years the e.u. has avoided clearly stating what's going on. there are only ever being cautious

intra guarding poland's politics. yes i do knew if he really wants to take a stand for l g b t rights. ok it sounds parents are afraid that something will happen for the child here in poland. they also fear something else that their only son like so many young people will leave the country because he just doesn't feel safe in launch a war zone. before the 1000 pandemic the number one topic in the european union was brags that the brits had voted to leave the e.u. by the end of this year and now the transition period is set to expire but negotiations for a trade agreement are still ongoing if the u.k. exits without a trade deal it would lead to scenes like this long queues of tracks waiting to cross the borders we visited one of the oldest markets in london to find out what

new important expert regulations could mean. very good 2 people come to south london is bara market looking for all it's not bargains. here you can find delicacies from all over europe. that. dominic quite loves the variety. is godor comes from holland. walker says in france supply him with conti and more b.a. . and in summer their special from the greek island of les boss. not a day goes by when the cheesemonger doesn't sample some of his wares himself like his beloved french comte a. sweet whereas most of the british chooses are crumbly and. and sort of brightens and shot. but brags it poses a big threat to his little she show massive work the emmy and has been worried

since the referendum have already run off 3rd stockpiling plans. to make sure we've got enough stock at the prices that we're currently paying and we don't have to incur any higher prices that might be introduced by high tariffs. quite takes us to his story seller he fears food products and the e.u. will be slapped with higher g.t.s. has already pricey cheeses could then cost up to 20 percent more and who'd be willing to pay that much. and that's if the cheese even makes it to london as more stringent border controls would leave as we are stuck in transit for days i imagine that is going to be the village the transport logistics is going to be that much more complicated it is going to be expensive does it would be extra paperwork involved. and i can only imagine it's not going to be as free flowing as it is currently. no market has been supplying hungry londoners for close to 300 years

still a new deal breakers that could change was offered here. today spurs warn the supplies of fresh produce could become scarce of trucks held up at the borders some 80 percent of the fruit sold here is imported. yet this scenario doesn't shock all britons because it makes me feel that if we're going to have to reconnect we're a better body than the average. but we'll be ok but even many of the talents are important 2 if london fails to reach a deal with brussels the u.s. troops fill some of the gaps through crises might even fall. but what about the quality. u.s. environmental and health standards are lower than those in the e.u. in the u.k. especially where meat is concerned merchants fear that british products could then no longer compete with us and i think the real worry is that if we get these influx

of much cheaper feet being imported to actually seek markets will stop they. stop face and so outrageous hey you know what they really supply the best face off that price means that the disparity between what you see myself it is going to be much wider than it already is the continuing uncertainty about life after breaks it provides folder for conversation dominic talks things over with next tucker a fish monger we all believe england you know always be able to always call me old fashioned a shiny out because we want to shoot but at least on the long island you know on days of a conscious that you would last and you'll. is preparing for a heartbreak that in his own way for a time when a stockpile of affordable imported cheese runs out so he can stay in business i'll get a friend who bakes cheddar and we've talked about maybe selling the so and the reason

for us to look into that sort of the more local indigenous issues is because of the exchange rate. and the security of supply and all the sort of stuff. 2 2 merchants at london's barra market are still. the treaty before the end of the year. for their customers food products from europe. and we are keeping our fingers crossed however at the moment it seems unlikely that london and brussels will reach an agreement by the end of the year climate change has become a topic all over the world and innovative ideas can come from the most unlikely places such as a small village in finland called its citizens are role models for climate protection even the youngest villagers are part of the solution and although climate change may be

a somewhat abstract concepts the people in the know that protecting nature can have immediate rewards. the outback of finland near the baltic coast a session in a sauna punctuated by dips in a cold river is obligatory. very refreshing and when you're in the water you feel so much like a part of nature on this town in finland it's called spelt simply with 2 eyes just as simple and straightforward as the town itself a few roads to supermarkets and not quite 10000 people but even a very well be europe's greenest town the community has succeeded in reducing its emissions of c o 2 by 80 percent. of the scene. here in realized that climate change is not yet to come it's already here. and we

understood that it's not just the world's big movers and shakers that have to act. we ourselves have to do something about. the key to their success has been creating incentives so that everybody pitches in. it will get it all started with a $5050.00 project we tried it in 3 schools the children had to monitor the power and water use and they got back half of whatever money was saved then they could decide for themselves what they wanted to spend the money on the model was such a success that we expanded it to all the schools and daycare centers and. i think. in the past 10 years he has managed to cut its power consumption in half. and the children have used the money they saved well they've bought game tables toys and lots of plants asked. the town of

e is surrounded by unspoiled nature as well as some of europe's biggest peat logs. for centuries pete was burned here as a source of energy but the moore's are also a vast reservoir of c o $21.00 of the principal greenhouse gases protecting the moore's keeps that c o 2 out of the atmosphere the town has banned anything that pollutes the air oil heating for instance replacing it with wind and water energy now the little town is generating 10 times as much green energy as it uses selling the surplus brings in nearly 4000000 euros a year. we've also had a great deal of the scotian about wind power about the noise for instance the blight in the countryside and how the wind turbines interfere with community life. and on site inspection for the 60 new wind turbines in planning but they are to be located at the edge of a primeval forest not one tree has been felled here for

a century you will be able to shut the wind turbines. will be 300 meters tall and set up only a couple of 100 meters from here. it's our common goal to protect nature and. we need the wind power but we also have to protect the area all around. that it's like a puzzle. that we have to fit all the pieces together in the end and find the best compromise. protecting the climate is indeed a massive puzzle and what impact can such a little town have on such a global problem a big one say the people of east they can set an example what works for remote corner of finland just might work for the rest of the world too. just goes to show that a lot can be achieved when each one of us is willing to do their bit that brings us to be and off today's show for me and the rest of the team it's goodbye and see you

next time. you. thank you. thank you. thank you. thank you. thank. you. good. luck to.

come. to come. to the point shawn opinion is a clear position i'm supposed international perspectives of. this information is going viral madame x. has given a boost to conspiracy theories like those of q why not how dangerous are conspiracy theorists that's our topic on to the point of showing us. to the point shut. up in the minutes on d w. m

d r e of climate change. comes from a massive 6. want to. be. i'm going to do yesterday the future of. g.w. doug cutler to serve in the making. clear church. has a view of the world. and where i come from but all of that to politicise go it just like this chinese food doesn't matter where i am it's always reminds me of home after decades of living in germany chinese food is one of the things i miss the most but better taking

a step back i see things i need to differentiate knowledge then of fluids 1st as an articulation that exists the other part of the order haven't been implemented in china that's where you are not to china's people wondering if they're going to say to you that if you have a right to another world that is this is their job a job that of them how i see it and understand why i love my job because i tried to do it exactly what it is an hour a day by name of the uninsured and i was added up your. lead. to be a. little
