in the industrial city he could have been broken ural mountains protesters were beaten 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 shortly after his arrest sympathisers release an explosive to our video but it presented a palatial mansion on the black sea coast i mean team that it was built for the russian president and paid for with ill gotten gains this movie gives him a welcome within just a few days. the video had racked up over 19000000 views it may well have been the match that sparked the thing of dissent against president putin all across the

country as here in moscow. go 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 ask the past well in richmond is that only goal this year i live with my family in a tiny flat honest people do not feel the tall around us of people who are enriching themselves illegally without anyone saying anything about it 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 make sure. that's. what was shown in the video as you my property belongs to or has ever belonged to me my close relatives never.

in. the activists anastas yeah but it is not convinced by putin's statement she and her friend could greater trust in opposition figures such as not only. after 20 years of prison you're demanding a chief and russia's leadership. yeah i'm a younger generation putin 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 but we're not living in the age of the consultants where the rule is stayed in power today and their day is only partly want our country to be rewarded in the future by politicians who are elected by the people. but she said this until 3 inferior lections are held in russia she is prepared to continue her $0.02 trying to manage russia without corruption probe russia without.

this beverage is well something of a national treasure in turkey no it's not more 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. room is still just the way it was when 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. here 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 care 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. some of who what when you pour yourself 4 shots of rocky today the state gets a drink 3 and you get just one. percentage. this bottle of racket 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 in the black market even when this can be deadly the opposition suspects the government's tax increases are ideologically motivated. we know those who view drinking alcohol is

a sin people who still like to drink don't write this and citizens aren't just paying that price with money but are also more and more often but they're paying with their lives. turkish president writes that type aragon has never made a secret of his aversion to drinking alcohol he repeatedly warns youngsters citing religious grounds. do you stay away from alcohol near why you did it 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 freshly court 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 his homemade tipple but they always test it to ensure

it's free of toxic methanol shipped. to did i had my doubts at the beginning. of 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 problem. 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 could never be recognised part of our culture to be for that if some people want to more or less get rid of this cultural asset well . what's good about that. but. going to.

shaaban al time keeps asking himself a similar question what's so good about constantly rising prices driving young people like his daughter dariya to pull 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 the prices for all the whole have been more moderate her death could have been prevented if. 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 chi is a 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 trips though weatherproof clothing and the trendy item of the corona. by the way 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 if it's just nice to get out and get the man especially now when we're live in 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. a 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 i. think you'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 and countless lakes make the region an outdoor paradise so it's no coincidence that camping stove said they manufactured here in the small town of tomes beacon since the late 1950 s. this week his 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 high kids 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 business at a time when many others are doing far worse it's symbolic of the times we're living in. 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 all 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 kossovo border is the site of a recently discovered mass grave identifying the bodies is extremely difficult both technically and emotionally are some great show you as 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 the victims from the cause of the war there were still 1600 people missing since the war most of them cause of albanians. house seemed to 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. for. good or bad these remains 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 are going to go to. the forensic 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 life starsky 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're even though we think that the dead are probably their relatives. these families still hope that their loved ones and 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 they relatives being dragged away. and they relived the scenes today. not be continued. 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 to to 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. when i'm more than a part of their lives on monday was sitting behind me i said to him stand up the police are here but they took all the men and we're looking for one more and 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 her 4th son and her husband are still missing. there were also serbian victims of the war natasha chip pan of h. 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 for fairly basic does a little survey and that was the wrong decision that they didn't want to leave their home but out. in 2014 japan of each founded the association of course of our victims which tries to find out the truth about what happened to those missing on both sides. of the family after the king i mean about it's not important the times i mean and the others are obey me and we are united

and i are paying our grief is the same we want the same things we have the same goals but i know we want to find the remains of our poor relatives get in a very big but on the edge of the all 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 and get 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 a crab am in the small city of arnim marine biologists are happy with the project and so are the zoos the visitors they can finally get an answer to the question corals actually plants or animals. like you know theater tons of lighting equipment are used to put a spotlight on. the real stars of the show. this research project and splashes of wondrous color unfolding here underwater bright greens orange and yellow corals are striving here in europe's biggest artificial reef. marine biologist max yan's and his team have created a sensation. but 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 can for the corals best gave them so often. by feeding them for example to deet researchers don't even know the half of exactly how corals function and this clarice ecosystem at the zoo 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

. is used to be i'm god it's 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. look i'd even go to go 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 san still kidnap and smuggle them customs officials from all over

europe bring confiscated animals to max you. like this rare soft corals in australia bush 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 ever eventually become possible when the water quality improves. until then in our him he'll keep mixing 16 judeans to make artificial pacific watchers and that will continue to fascinate visitors. but when they like them i always say belief that we need to show people the beauty in our 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 if we want to guarantee their survival into the future. that was focused on europe for this week thanks for watching take care and goodbye.
