from violence. thousands of women and turkey have taken to the streets and protests, young, and old, religious or conservative. they are outraged. over are the ones reneging of the landmark agreement. at a time when violence against women is on the rise president at one plains, he made the move to protect families in turkey. this woman also seeks protection from a husband who beat her brutally for years and is openly threatening her with murder . gentle anarchy is one of many whose rights to safety has been violated with the withdrawal from the international women's accord. women across the country are outraged because the number of females murdered or feminist side has been steadily rising over the past years. with some 300 recorded in 2020, she looked anxiously at the window. there were any suspicious cars parked out front
8:32 am
. is anyone standing by the entrance? this is john through his daily routine. the 31 year old and her son rarely leave their apartment in the western turkey city of bolo, any more, not since receiving death threats from her own husband. andrew, to kill all of you. like it looks like to me with a blunt news. wicked phase with me, do you understand jones, who continuously receives threats like this. and she knows he means every word before she left him, he had abused her for years. he even beat her mother. the police did nothing apart from advising johnson to seek protection at a women's shelter all. meanwhile, are abused and feels perfectly safe. your son was an older sam. they told me, i kill you. i'll go to prison for 3 years. you know about shot,
8:33 am
but that won't stop base after 3 years. i'll be back out today to jump off on johns, who doesn't believe the turkish state will protect her. instead, she is turned to the public on turkish media. she's spoken out against her abuser and the turkish authorities, failure to act a bold move, especially now that turkey has withdrawn from the east and the convention, protecting women from violence. president ed, one justified this step by repeatedly claiming that the convention served to spread western notions of emancipation can demit any. it will not let foreigners influence the way we deal with the issue. we have our own historical and cultural ways. we will not allow the safety of our families to be jeopardized. these women are demanding the protection of their families too. but in a different way than a one envisioned they pressuring turkey to respect the international agreement. in
8:34 am
the past year, 300 women were murdered and another 117 women died due to unknown causes. now turkish women are fighting back. literally. more and more women are signing up for self defense courses like these here crow, my god and israeli. marcia lot is being taught that time because it may not be time one participant is 24 year old d like her last violent encounter was a year and a half ago on her way home. one night a man followed her and harassed her. d like was able to drive the attacker away by calling for help surveillance camera captured the event. you alarmed me. it took me a year to get over. but i'm here because i want to leave the fear behind get to my . i don't want to think about which route i should take to get home. i want to overcome this a passive attitude. the women in this class have had enough of violence and
8:35 am
harassment for men, because leader has observed mostly young women in her group. this is all, it will be just one or more and more. 25 to 35 year old women come to not all participants have experienced physical violence sized. our kids for kids can just wanted to know how to react to harassment if the order the it they just don't want to put up with that kind of behavior anymore. nope, we did. neither did d like now thanks to the self defense course. she feels safe on it stumble streets again, but she still constantly. he's texas comments for men. we start on the light side. if someone thinks you're screwed up too short or your cleavage is too low or color, they don't keep it to themselves. janet the labor day. but the closer just to save
8:36 am
you guys, a cousin old monk when a woman in this country means running the risk of falling victim to violence and harassed to be met by johnson. he has found another way to protect herself. she's installed the security door in her apartment to prevent her abusive husband from breaking in. but she knows if he's determined to kill her. he will dive under the he told me himself. he said look at one has withdrawn from the symbol convention, protecting women. so we can kill as many women as we want without being punished. the stumble convention should continue to be respected in our country. it was the only thing that herdsman in the long, long corporal are growing solidarity among women and turkey is also acting as a deterrence johns, who experienced in our poor support after she made her case public since then, the threats against her and her family have stopped it seems there
8:37 am
are 2 things that scared of general air kids abuse. they're being exposed to public scrutiny and be overwhelming support that turkish women have shown for general. they even paid for her lawyer if you will. love mountain climbing. then connie, it's in bosnia herzegovina may be the right place for you. it's an up and coming destination for people who love the heights. this is where kathy mitchel college has made it his responsibility to rescue those who have injured themselves along their trick. cuz he him loved what he does. he loves the heights, but he and his colleagues are volunteers. and such are supported by local authorities, even though they are risking their lives to save others attention. the injured person has been located in the copy me. okay, this twisted her ankle and rugged terrain. thankfully this is just an exercise for
8:38 am
kareem and his fellow, rescuers need to know how to respond in an emergency food. oddly, mobiles out to stabilize just fine and uncle with an inflatable cost to move, you know, get it. so now we'll place her on the stretcher and start the evacuation. nice, clean transport. tourism is booming in the mountains of bosnia and herzegovina. more and more people are flocking to its prestige landscape, but nature has its perils. the weather here can change in minutes. that can spell danger. for inexperienced takers, the rescuers have to upset the injured party. only a few weeks ago they had a real emergency to deal with when a hiker was seriously injured at the very same spot. it was a list of silly tenants and experienced mountaineer. he had fallen while trying to photograph the scene of a recent avalanche and broken several ribs unable to move,
8:39 am
he was just barely able to return his phone. an hour later the rescuers arrived because i'm not sure what other children i was certain the rescue is would come 100 percent. sure. they saved my life and be eternally grateful to them for this as a whole lot of money. and this is the 1st time alias turnage has been back here since his accident. he wanted to watch the exercise. now i can really see what they had to go through when they rescued me for funding. they descended a slope to me. from there, i can only say i admire them, especially because they were only 5 of them at the time would be paid. but it's difficult for the rescue team to equip even just 5 rescuers adequately can use a mountain rescue gets virtually no funding from the local government and bosnia has no law regulating mountain rescue at the national level conditions for kareem
8:40 am
and this team of rescuers are hard a pull open ended up, we had to buy half of the equipment or so the other half assured him, you know, most of it dated all premier quality. now we shouldn't be using the opera may prefer to cope with what we have. no other choice. i mean, if we use it at our own risk ali post, we'll talk more for me to call, you know, so you want all the necessary equipment is stored in a garage that the rescue team members pay for themselves. they had to move out of their former office in the fire department at the city governments behest. the city said it was due to renovation. that was nearly 2 years ago for the vase 3 minutes after 2 or 3 months. we noticed that they weren't going to give us back our office space more than that. so we asked for an explanation regardless and deduct another war and they're still waiting on an explanation. you can use
8:41 am
a civil protection director says the city has many obligations, but not enough money to go around. you see the mountain rescue team is just one of many associations in conyers. there are dozens of clubs here and they all want their own space. but the city can't afford its own rescue team because i'd say that whenever the mountain rest team heads out there mostly hoping their own people when the weather is bad, it's them. the adventurers could go out there even though they shouldn't be negative about it. but the rest of the team say the overall number of mountain tourists has risen sharply to them. that means they help out whenever they're needed. so could then upland. any person spending time in the mountains as a loved one, waiting for them at home? that's why i go out there and help them. leave me when you say someone else's life
8:42 am
. it's an overwhelming feeling and that's why they keep going, despite all eyes. so it's connie, some mountain rescue team. among the things that many of us here in europe take for granted is that we can get to clean water whenever we open and tap . that's not the case for residents of the russian village of maturing school you, yvonne, balkan, for example. he has come to accept that authorities may never provide him with this very basic service. instead, he has developed a sense of humor almost as dark as the water. the villages are faced with this is color a coffee. if it comes out of the faucet, it could be either a joke, the people of nature and sky, either way, it never ceases to amaze them the brown sledge, they've been getting from the top for years. instead of clear drinking water heater,
8:43 am
you can't use it for washing or for drinking, but we have no choice you. we have to let it settle for a while and then we boil it with you. on lemon, tough st. residence pump in the brown liquids by the buckets every day. while they do have running water in their 2 story building, the water pressure is often so low. it's easier for them to just pump the water at themselves. no matter where it comes from, the st pumps of the home. both mentally the water in the village of meter and ski originates from a major river in southern russia and the co buying. when the spring floods cold, the waters turn a cloudy grape round, and flows into meter escape watermain is virtually unfiltered. once the villagers draw the river water, they have to leave it out for several hours and containers like these 20 liter plastic bottles until the dirt settles. then the water is a little cleaner,
8:44 am
but only a little. we end up drinking everything, the clay and sand and everything else floating around in it. he can't even remember the last time he drank truly clean water from the top laments the retiree. even republican, go good at the same stuff. i've been living here since 975, and that's how long we've had to deal with it. some boil it, but i don't. i just learned that a women lay to use the water for cooking, or sometimes when it's really filthy, my drink claim water from a water dispenser for the school. you know, the retail water costs money, money, this retiree can hardly spare. even republican has to spend a $3000.00 roubles a month, about $35.00 euros for store bought drinking water. that comes to about one 3rd of a pension that's barely enough to live on as it is. during the soviet era,
8:45 am
the village of nature and sky had serv cause a large scale state owned farm with accounting factory. not only was the state in charge of agricultural production, it was also responsible for a basic purification of the water, the long time residents recall. then the soviet union collapsed with it the old purification system. the wrench will not believe them. then they used to be large tanks along the road out of town where the river water was processed before it was led into the village of them was going to, but then new rulers came, everything was looted and ever sent them into loans money. ever since these tanks have been crumbling, they're no longer able to clean the water from the river. according to a report by the state environmental protection agency, some of the tourette's keys,
8:46 am
water means i know what to 90 percent clubbed with filled from the river. once more, the water from the combined river is known to be polluted. environmentalists recommending urgent action to remove bacteria and chemicals from the water, or inquiries about water quality in the region and measures taken to purify, met with no response from the local authorities. and so it seems to be true, risky, villagers do indeed have no other choice, but to use the dirty brown water will be only time when the water looks a bit cleaner. i put white laundry in it, but it all comes out dirty. that's that you might as well throw the clothes away, which were in the way once again, the top washer was so browned, the van republican decided to buy himself an expensive 5 liter bottle of clean drinking water at the village store. but this water russian will had to last them
8:47 am
a few days and the van revoke, and had to watch his diet carefully. look at the i have to be careful not to wait too much harring. that would make me so thirsty. i'd have to drink the dirty water from the river, but now i'm pretty much toughened up against it. as long as it's cold, summer's in russia can be hard to me to risky will need a lot of water. and what it gets from the combined isn't fit for human consumption . the summer holidays are just around the corner here in europe and the popular tourist destinations are preparing to receive guests. after a year of isolation and locked down, the a multi coast in italy was specifically hard hit by the corona virus measures that brought tourism to a sense still. but now our reporter gods to visit the people who call this
8:48 am
beautiful stretch of lands their home. they talks about how they are managing life during the pandemic, and i have to admit a bit jealous of our reporters assignments. to you on the steep terraces of the mouthy coast. they grow the most delicious lemons. they get their characteristic mild flavor from the sun and the sole t c. ere i made family i chet who was 6th generation lemon farm. as at 86 luigi. those still feel as if he's convinced that lemon juice flowed through his veins. fortunately, he was spared a corona infection and has already been vaccinated the lemons and working at doors he says, have given him strength even in old age, every was at the end of this look here. this one is full of juice. we also used to choose for disinfection before he was able to clean our hands about
8:49 am
the money off to taking over the family business. salvatore had a rebuild professionally working on the steep lemon grows. this tiring, 2500 trees. that's about $800.00 tons of lemons need to be harvested in the hanging gardens each year. the shadows say that they were able to get through the corona crisis by sticking together as a family focus control, the things are in control and, and chaos us and lose their faith in politics. we don't believe the problems here will be solved. so that's why family is so important to us at the mouth. itala is the only road connecting such a picturesque towns like lo, positano or we had 3. so monday, tourism here is both a blessing and a curse. before the crisis hit, money flowed freely. american tourists in particular would often rent luxury villas in prime locations. ramona, every time it gives me a tour of one of her vacant luxury apartments. apart from this illustrious house
8:50 am
called villa aris, 32 year old ramon manages 20 other privately own villas and apartments. this is our salon, which we renovated to you this made use of the current pandemic by investing into even more luxury at 1200 year. as a day. this bill is still comparatively cheap. the owners want to make up for last year financial losses. and since there's not a lot of work outside the tourism industry, the locals are dependent on the wealth of others, based on a foster, provided it's not easy to find work here with someone. i'm fortunate enough to be working in a business that i help set up and that i enjoy working and i get to interact with a lot of people. so i'm happy here. maybe they're not of it, but there are a lot of other young people who are forced to leave me. guess i'll go straight to them that i this is especially true positano like the rest of because this village
8:51 am
to the unesco world heritage dies. many residents rent out their apartment and holiday homes to international jets. it is. meanwhile, young people, especially those starting a family, have to move away. at shay blacks, they're waiting on the return of celebrities. reservations are filling up, says the owner the this was taken in the 1st few years he came to visit. he called me papa black. denzel washington isn't the only one. the restaurant became the new place to be for hollywood stars, enjoying doj, a foreign end or the sweetness of doing nothing. it's 5 am and alberta russo and his father take me along to go fishing back when positano was just a sleepy little village. everyone here, middle fishing, and i've seen this type of work. that's our passion. that's what they're drawn to. it was huge. they will isolated for a month during the corona virus 10 demick poker. basically telling you about
8:52 am
a few fish that we didn't catch had to be sold for less than the market price. it was really a very difficult situation. let's hope that we can achieve that. they say that's hope that will come out of the stronger than before. even during the pandemic, they were left to themselves to get by and amid the quiet, even the dolphins returned to the bay. but now they were afraid, things might go back to normal, says alberto, his father luigi. when it comes to tourism many agree that less is more like just the content because a reminder that we're only guests here and there, you know, we should be less selfish than on that. but unfortunately, it didn't really help change people's mind. people haven't learned a thing how difficult not being greedy to take better care of the environment
8:53 am
today the to any and see might not have provided them with a lot of fish. but when humans live in harmony with nature, says, alberto grace and beauty. sure to follow. and so the mouthy coach remains a place of longing. our final report takes us to the netherlands, a country with lots of water, even in towns and cities, things to its numerous canals. these canals are a draft, are a breeding ground for fish that would normally swim upstream to lay their eggs. but when the waterways are closed, the fish get stuck in traffic so to speak. but now there is an app that helps waiting fish, navigate the busy waterways. spring time in the netherlands and the fish and tracks canals are following the call of nature, heading up stream to the spawning grounds. but there's an obstacle. this many evil
8:54 am
luck controls the water levels. the look is closed in spring because there are hardly any boats about and that creates an under water fish traffic jump through tracks. water monitors have found another way round it a fish doorbell. ecologist installed an underwater camera at the lock that could be viewed on a phone up users to see fish can press a digital door ringer to tell the lock keepers to open the gate. ryan, for example, has just scanned the cure code to see what's happening below the surface dr. yourself with an appeal. at 1st i thought it was an april fools joke because the fish doorbell went online in the last week of march. but it does seem to be serious. serious business indeed, an unexpected success story. in the past, month alone, one and a half 1000000 people have clicked on the fish come bringing the la capers,
