several 1000 have been detained but the demonstrators are not giving up these are protests on a scale russia has not seen in a long time. one of the demonstrators this 19 year old anastasio for most of her life she has known only president vladimir putin and his policies her protesters mix with the anger about the brutal treatment of the opposition and the suspicion that putin might be enriching himself without measure for many young people in the hometown of. this is the 1st time they are taking part in a political protest. disgrace disgrace and we are the power people chant in the center of new clues next siberia here answering the call of the arrested opposition leader alexei navalny. among them 19 year old

activist honest as yet but stephen. you matter the next day at the police with a protest was held in the city park of new york whose needs. she says she could tests against restrictions on freedom of speech the lack of perspective and the poor standard of living in russia. which was a cigar you have assured us where she met you i took to the streets for myself or my family i'm afraid of the police and the injustice in our country i live in a russia that wants to stop us from speaking out. and just as your excuse the sentiments of tens of thousands of other protesters. the weekend demonstrations whips to over 100 cities and 11 different time zones. in the far eastern port city lot of the stock on the sea of japan demonstrators demanded away with putin in the industrial city he could have been born in the ural mountains to tensors repeating back by the police and in st petersburg as many as 10000

protesters swarmed of the city showcase boulevard nifty presby it was aleksey in the founding himself has been in custody since his return from germany in mid january cut off from direct contacts with the outside world but the kremlin's vocal critic can still influence political life 40 of them up shortly after his arrest sympathisers release an explosive to our video . it presented a palatial mansion on the black sea coast i maintain that it was built for the russian president and paid for with ill gotten gains that these movies would come within just a few days. the video had racked up over 19000000 views it may well have been the match that sparked the theme of dissent against president putin all across the country as here in moscow. so to continue with the video shows how crazy our leaders are and proves these people

must not be allowed to hold their power any longer personally richmond is their only goal their share my life with my family in a tiny flat we are honest people not thieves but all around us are people who are enriching themselves illegally without anyone saying anything about it with the time against it. i've had enough and the state is corrupt we are no less and less money and have hardly any right. after the mass protests russian president putin responded to the allegations of corruption. that's. what was shown in the video as you my property belongs to or has ever belonged to me all my close relatives never. in new coups needs the activists anastas yeah but it is not convinced by putin's

statement she and her friends could greater trust in opposition figures such as not only. after 20 years in prison you're demanding it and russia's leadership. i'm a new generation puton i've never known anything else some people object that i'll die with peyton still in power well that is rather strange after all we're not living in the age of the kids are where the rule is state empowered to be and their day is only partly want our country to be rooted in a future by competitions who are elected by the people. but she said this until 3 in fair elections are held in russia she is prepared to continue her process trying to manage russia without corruption probe russia without putin. this beverage is well something of a national treasure in turkey no it's not mark it's rocky and it's flavored spirit

that has been distilled for centuries but lately iraq has become a luxury item for many turks due to an increase in alcohol tax prices have skyrocketed and more and more turks are turning to look at her from the black market this can be deadly among the many fatalities is the daughter of siobhan out on her death is the result of structureless criminals. her room is still just the way it was when jerry i left it last october even today the place is still where she. goes to remember his daughter and her death at the age of 24 dariya died after drinking adulterated bootleg alcohol. some friends and one of them had bought alcohol. it was illegal adulterated. when she began to feel unwell the next day she went to the local hospital. from there they took her to the nearest university clinic which was in intensive care for 7 days but. they couldn't save her.

is just one of nearly 100 people who died after drinking adulterated alcohol in turkey in just 3 months. thank you turkish police raid in a legal distillery operations like these are now routine here gangs of bootleggers put bottles of fake labels into circulation it could be whiskey vodka and especially rocky the popular and it is flavored turkish liquor because the alcohol is often being improperly distilled the bottles can contain toxic methyl alcohol rather than the ethanol found in beverages. opposition politician here has accused the government of driving customers into the arms of bootleggers he says selling alcohol legally such as in this shop he's intentionally being made more and more expensive by regular tax hikes the tax on rocky alone has gone up by 440 percent in

the last 10 years taxes account for 70 percent of the sales price alcohol in turkey is more expensive than anywhere else in europe. but some of the other when you pour yourself 4 shots of rocky today the state gets to drink 3 and you get just one. percentage in the. price of this bottle of ration has doubled in the last year it now cost over $18.00 euro. with minimum monthly wages in turkey at around $250.00 euros some people prefer to buy cheaper adulterated alcohol on the black market even when this can be deadly the opposition suspects the government's tax increases are ideologically motivated you. know the ones who view drinking alcohol is a sin people who still like to drink high don't write this and citizens aren't just paying a price with money but are also more and more often paying with their lives on the

level where they know them and their. turkish president writes that gun has never made a secret of his aversion to drinking alcohol he repeatedly warns youngsters citing religious grounds. do you stay away from alcohol me or why didn't i was drinking alcohol is a sin for pious young people i. but these pension is in a garden near the town of yellow say rocky is part of the turkish dining culture just like fresh record fish even though they're muslims they still want to enjoy the milky annis flavored drink. but they can rarely afford to get rocky from a shop that's why a friend gives them some of these homemade tipple but they always test it to ensure it's free of toxic methanol which. had my doubts at the beginning. but my worries are gone because we're testing it to

be safe. now we're quite relaxed about drinking the homemade stuff which we've never had any problems. whether it's be you wine or vodka homemade alcohol is booming in turkey more and more people are making their own supplies in the cellar or the bath tub that troubles these old people in yellow. scots have their whiskey the french their wine the greeks. and here in turkey we have rocky. the recognizer part of our culture to be for that if some people want to more or less get rid of this cultural asset well. i'm not so good about that. but. shaaban all time keeps asking himself a similar question what's so good about constantly rising prices driving young

people like his daughter dariya to full victim to ruthless bootleggers he's bitter she was a happy young woman always ready for a laugh and popular. more than 100 young people came to her funeral. or friends and acquaintances. i think if the traces for all the whole of the more moderate her death could have been prevented. by some in turkey say drinking alcohol is a sin for others he can end in death. right now being outdoors is in walking hiking simply getting out of one's own 4 walls because the ceiling is closing in on you due to luck to kaiser runner from sweden regularly gather some family and camping gear to find relaxation and recharge your batteries in the great outdoors there are 2 things she can't be without on her trip so though weatherproof clothing and the trendy item of the corona era. by the

f.b.i. here look at the needles if they look like this remember he said you know. this is real hands on learning. has taken her 3 children to color and luster into the forest and out of their apartment in stockholm. many city dwellers in sweden are doing the same especially on weekends cold temperatures and light rain won't stop anyone here. really interested or if it's just nice to get out and get the man especially now when we're leaving a relatively restrictive life and not meeting very many people spending the day in the office. like keiser many swedes have rediscovered a love of nature as the corona crisis dragged on it's not about covering long distances but about gathering the strength from nature to face the long days indoors. the real highlight of every hike is cooking together in the open air

doesn't take much some chopped vegetables instant noodles and a little camping stove here in sweden it's called a storm cooker the burner the pots and the windshield are all packed quite practically so they fit in almost any backpack for keiser and her kids it's nothing special but you're in the pandemic camping stoves like these have been selling like hotcakes right up front. thank you we're going to have little if a little funny we've been using this old thing for decades so it's great to see that it is growing in popularity it's really become a trend that many people are discovering the fun of being outdoors and it's really a great piece of equipment it's incredibly easy to cook a little meal with that. the idea to cook food on little gas cookers outdoors 1st took hold over 50 years ago in the land in central sweden near the

norwegian border. the vast forests rugged mountains in countless lakes make the region an outdoor paradise so it's no coincidence that camping stoves have been manufactured here in the small town of tomes vacant since the late 1950 s. this swedish family business specializes in cooking equipment for nature lovers the old press still works the spirit burner was originally designed for longer excursions but demand is coming from leisure time hikers as well now trying to make some 250000 stoves a year the family business can barely keep up. was . all we're working in 3 shifts and also at the weekend live so we can achieve maximum production big warburton moxon with demand for outdoor products soaring the swedish retail institute named storm cookers as the holiday gift of the year. the

title is taken quite seriously since the late 1980 s. a market research company has analyzed which products are trending well in sweden to see up and how not to stand. in the back and see this new trend towards nature shops selling sporting and outdoor gana during gift business at a time when many others are doing far worse it's symbolic of the times we're living in yet. kaiser and her 3 children have decided to get outdoors whenever they can this winter it doesn't matter whether they prepare the food at home or out in the open air they tell us but somehow it tastes especially good when made on that little stove and that helps them get through this difficult time with a smile. that's been 2 decades since the cost of a conflict though it remains open there are still many people missing the quarry

close to the serbia cos of a border is the site of a recently discovered mass graves identifying the bodies is extremely difficult both technically and emotionally are some good shall you has made it his mission to do just that he knows many relatives are still waiting for answers and for justice . this place hides a grim secret the quarry is in serbia not far from the border with kosovo after a long search a further mass grave was found here at the end of 2020 with victims from the cause of 0 war there were still 1600 people missing since the war most of them kosovo albanians. how soon did charlie you is the head of the institute of forensic medicine in pristina he is always present with the remains of victims are recovered and have to be identified he says this is often difficult after more than 20 years

. good or bad these remains that were found last week is that the clothes are intact . what's also very helpful is when there is a wedding ring or something similar. to the most. differentiate scientist and his family also suffered terribly in the war he lost $33.00 relatives including a cousin and his 8 children. he said himself a lifestyle ask to identify the victims that are found he says that genetic comparisons can be very helpful but family members are not always willing to cooperate because they find it so hard to accept the terrible truth.

that. some of the remains from the last war cannot be identified because there are families who don't want to give any blood for identification purposes if you even though we think that the dead are probably their relatives. these families still hope that their loved ones are alive and detained somewhere in serbia. he knows many families that are still looking for their relatives he says he finds it very difficult to inform people when the remains of their loved ones have been found. only. the 1st reaction of these families is completely understandable. when you bring them this news the scenes from $999.00 come alive again. many of them saw their relatives being dragged away. and they relived the scenes today.

because. he drove with us to duck of feature a city in kosovo where hundreds of albanians were killed for don't each a cares he still lives here today the 2 have known each other for a long time she too will never get over her pain and today her house is almost like a museum on march 27th 1909 serbian police arrived and took away her husband and their 4 sons including the youngest edmundo who was only 14 that was the worst. one of. those on monday last sitting behind me i said to him stand up the police are here. and they took all the men and we're looking for one more i said you've got them all and they said no we want another one. the bodies of 2 sons were found in

2005 the clothes of a 3rd were also found a 4th son and her husband are still missing. there were also serbian victims of the war natasha chip part of each is a serb from kosovo during the war she fled to belgrade but her parents refused to go with her they were killed a few days later on the 4th only they started a little survey and that was the wrong decision but they didn't want to leave their home. in 2014 japan of each founded the association of cause of victims which tries to find out the truth about what happened to those missing on both sides. of the family after the king of the me about it's not important the times i mean and the others are obey me and we are united by our pay our grief is the same we want the same things we have the same goals we want to

find the remains of our poor relatives. but on the edge of the your thora these estimate that the remains of another 250 victims still lie in the quarry and keesha back a lot of painstaking work lies ahead for us in good charlie you and the others they cannot take away the pain from the families but perhaps they can help some of them find a sense of closure by giving them the news that a victim has been identified. coral reefs hardly anyone who has seen them with their own eyes can escape their magic but around 40 percent of all corals worldwide have already perished in the netherlands is not trying to preserve their colorful splendor for posterity in order to do so the zoo has created a gigantic crab am in the small city of arnim marine biologists are happy with the project and so are the zoo's visitors they can finally get an answer to the

question corals actually plants or animals. like you know caesar tons of lighting equipment are used to put a spotlight on. the real stars of the shu. this research project and splashes of wondrous color unfolding here underwater bright green orange and yellow corals are striving here on europe's biggest artificial reef. marine biologist max yan's and his team have treated a sensation. here puffy it is just here we are doing the best we can to build for corals we're using technology knowledge and scientific investigation to create the best habitat we care for the corals best gave them so often pretty.

dicey thing them for example to date researchers don't even know the half of exactly how corals function and this coral reef ecosystem is giving many scientists hopes he can discover much more. we can learn a lot about species with d.n.a. testing but it's not just about the coral itself there are many more factors and that makes it very very complex. the biologists in arnhem are trying to gain better understanding of the corals they want to find out how to help them survive long term in the wild. here in the great barrier reef in australia climate change is warming the ocean and causing the water to become hyper acidic. add the pollution and damage caused by fishing and the result is more frequent devastating bleaching . was used to be i'm bothered gets like a forest without animals if there's no forest then there's no forest animals it's

the same with a coral reef if there are no corals then you don't have the other animals either reefs are the nurseries of the sea that's why they're the main attraction of the underwater world at birth or zoo. the corals here grew more quickly and are healthier than in the wild. like i'd even though they would see a colony of corals actually thousands of animals living together in a kind of enormous sickly inside a common skeleton of this but no one really understands it because everyone looks for the eyes and mouths but you've got to explain these tiny animals with one orifice and little tentacles. there are more than 14 sows and species of corals in the world most of them are threatened with extinction nevertheless sans still kidnap and smuggle them customs officials from all over europe bring confiscated animals to max you answer like this way or soft corals must really push 1st had to go into quarantine. i was shocked

a shame that we still receive carl's taken from natural environments because to some corals it's not a problem but there are other carl species that have a really tough time in nature. returning the painstakingly revised corals back to the scene isn't an option at the moment because the conditions of the oceans are too poor to to ever eventually become possible in the water quality and crews. until then in our home we'll keep mixing 16 gradients to make artificial pacific watchers and that will continue to fascinate visitors. but when the lights in my office a belief that we need to shape people the beauty and special things about this natural environment you can't love and protect something if you don't know about it . and the corals urgently need protection and if we want to guarantee their survival inside the future. that was focused on europe
