and mexican investigative journalist, i believe man, this is value every day. the government is involved. she's digging the country employed to find out the truth. they want to kill me. guardian. truth starts with a 3rd on d w. ah. ah, this is focus on europe. i'm lar babel loa, nice to have you with us. russia is launching fresh attacks, a new crane as moscow declares, a new phase of the war. ukrainian forces are calling on their allies to send more weapons with the conflict approaching its 2nd month places in ukraine's east and

south are under heavy bombardment. russia has sent thousands more troops to the region residents and you say cities and towns are once again fighting for survival . while amid the death and suffering new life is also beginning in ukraine. but for some newborns and their parents, the war is keeping them apart. commercial surrogacy is big business in ukraine. it's one of the few nations in europe that allows the practice. some to 1000 children are born through surrogacy in ukraine every year. the vast majority of those barriers belong to foreigners who traveled to ukraine to pick up their newborns. but the war has changed every c o one during the war. these babies have spent their entire lives in the senate in ki ukrainian surrogate mothers gave birth to them. but their parents from places like china, germany and italy have not been able to come and collect them due to the will. so

for now nannies and messes like arena unspent lana, a caring for these babies, including the who judge for judge, when like all children, the need warmth and affection. we are trying to provide that while the moms and dads cannot deploy, give them all of that. the mammals, as each other. both women have been living here in the cellar with the babies for weeks, choosing not to flee beyaza if i'm older than my colleague, which they have young children, do my mine are grown up. if i went to you, you take care of the babies with me. yeah, i couldn't abandon them. yeah. and the mother was a bit this boy and they call valeri, has been waiting for his chinese parents for months. now. first we'll go with prevented them from picking him up. and now the war, though, it's been more peaceful since the russian army retreated from ki. so mo, parents are finally able to come here with him,

but we really hope they'll be able to collect their babies. now of all the, it's so sad that the babies couldn't spend his time with their parents, hearing their language instead of hours on the nozzle. a scheduled examination of surrogate others is taking place at this clinic and keep the 2nd since the invasion began. their clinic belongs to the largest firm in the surrogacy industry, which has come under investigation facing allegations of human trafficking business as boone for years. most of the women here including gary now tell us they plan to use the money to buy a home for their own families. but it's a huge strain to be pregnant and a surrogate mother in the midst of a war arena is carrying the child of an israeli couple and had started to panic when she was unable to contact anyone from the company after the invasion. and i'm also so similar or silly at 1st i thought it's all over with dylan. what should i do now? we a boy. yeah, i already have 2 kids. right. so what do i do with the 3rd and i knew we're not

allowed to keep. so again, babies of nice to be and if i go to jail them, yeah, he'll take care of my own children, but the most to knock away, i thought a slave bought them now they're all trying to carry on like before the invasion. nasty, i remains confident that there will gary and parents. his baby she is carrying will be able to collect their child as single mother with 2 children of her own. nastier comes from a keep suburb and decided not to flee. mom on my old and boston up one year to a local dog. gog sued him with my mother. i was just leave with me. got those. but i was extremely worried about the child to put the in case there was shots or explosions on the journey. get those very what was after a few weeks, people fell safer at home than elsewhere. would be the boss near cham, although i decided to stay on we'll go, we'll yup. and yours was the waterfall. sheila, how did sir dorman? but every one here is wondering what will happen next in the war. and what will the situation be like when it's time to give birth?

in the store room, the medical director shows us his supplies. the painting of the 1st few weeks has subsided on and he says things are under control again mama, that includes that issue with surrogate mothers, who fled to poland. but con, stay there with you. well, for sure. the good milan of business, but consider agassi is illegal in poland the which but many of our women about 10 are there just city law? yes. book one of them. i am okay though, if they are 1216 or 20 weeks pregnant, me are you? you said michelle, they gave me their word that they'd return when they're in their 28th week, little green. why then? what's wasn't after 28 weeks, the child was capable of surviving outside the womb was possibly rebuild. this video was made to reassure clients armed and insecure vehicles. the medical director is seen picking up newborns from the hospital after cove at 19 is the 2nd crisis for ukraine's surrogacy industry, but got a wooden cabinet. initially there were quarantine regulation skills,

but now it's fear that keeps parents away from them. couple 100 q, i bow down to parents who made it to key one level despite the shelling and air raid sirens unique. when you please. earlier they came to the shelter, whether babies were living on you pretty, or to the train station where we also handed over babies right? by the train. those are true parents from the say she did it, the ukraine, you know, authorities have removed some red tape to make it easier for parents to collect their babies. fed, lana says she'll stay in calf for their babies, that it will ready here. and those that are yet to be boy, for as long as necessary. no matter how the war develops while the majority of ukrainian refugees have fled to nearby countries, some have landed in turkey, around 60000, according to the turkish foreign ministry. coastal say these like and talia that typically attract tourists are now also hosting ukranian refugees. a turkey has close ties with moscow. and, and talia's coast is

a big draw for russian holiday makers, a bitter pill to swallow for ukrainians like tanya, moscow. she spends her days in the mediterranean thinking about the war and her homeland, while rushing tourists bask in the sun, some sand and sea, even in spring, the turkish coastal city of antalya offers everything of vacationers heart could desire. but tanya, mo sky is not in a holiday mood while her 2 children venture into the water, the ukrainian is thinking about her homeland. when the war broke out, she and her children fled. keep for turkey via romania. but even at the beach, she still can't relax, you come what may she shing, him or what was of i to. a what bothers me is that i don't know what kind of people of around me right now. great. where did they come from? what did they think about my heritage and my country?

my units, i'm on less now most of them. because antalya is a popular destination for tourists from russia, the country that has invaded her homeland ukraine. tanya knows that the majority of russian support putin's policies. yet most of the russians at this beach are reluctant to talk about the war. lou lou, your sister in law die catalina, basically, we love our country, our people, and our lives in russia when he mines. but we also understand what's happening in ukraine. ah, val careening by the more lead times. you can't blame us russians for that sin of many people just believe it when russian t. v claims that the ukrainian army is attacking it's an target. sam in the savannah ali here with i'm a sub waiver you it before the war. $2000000.00 ukrainians also vacationed on the turkish riviera every year. now they're staying away. but turkish tour operators

are hoping to attract even more russian tourists. many here are glad that turkey is not imposing sanctions on russia. let's see level sher, closing death and the future. the russian market can potentially supply 50 percent of all our tourists. the nickel deal headed goon or cool to russia has assured us that up to 30 charter flights per day could soon be arriving here. one of the 2 key noun by a bit nurtured ubiquitous turkey is one of the last countries in europe still fully open to russians. including oligarchy who more their super yachts here, safe from sanctions. florida, i shall mold on turkish president recipe, ty yeap air to juan calls both ukraine and russia. friends. he offered to mediate between the 2 warring parties so far without success. tanya and her children are staying with turkish friends. the 2 families got to know

one another before the war till father hub. it is then we try to distract her, so she doesn't watch so much use otherwise, she won't stop crying, moody, it does hot and mean to but distraction doesn't always work. tanya's husband is still and keep helping with the civil defense folks muscle. your origins, slow grain. no, i won't go back to my husband. he didn't bring you to my homeland, but i'm afraid and i don't know how to live with my fear. you say i hear stories about girls getting raped if the committee between 10 and 14 years of age, she got my link there in hospital and quite a few pregnant and so here in the hills above antalya, the ukrainian is caught up again and again by the brutal war crimes in our homeland, while russian tourists on themselves on the beaches below. it's nice here which is

but coin that, you know, i'm a very level headed person. i avoid conflict and i hardly ever start arguments. but seeing people from russia, spending the vacations here and having a good time makes me pretty mad look to the little girl i directly skim, tonya mosque. i would also have liked to enjoy a relaxing family vacation in antalya this year. but right now, each visit to the beach is a painful experience. far from mass tourism and crowded beaches as extra madura in spain. the region which is west of the capital madrid is known for its breast taking nature. a despite the beauty, all is not well on the east la, devoured the can. yes, a luxury resort was erected in the middle of a bird sanctuary. and now a court has deemed it illegal and ordered it to be demolished. a victory for julio says, are an environmentalist, but

a huge below for the property owners who are crying foul upon entry, it's clear this is an exclusive resort from the golf course and marina to the discreetly place to villas the marina de belda conyers rest on an island in a large reservoir. from above, you can hardly see there are any buildings, but this is a nature preserve and bird sanctuary. so the settlement has to go down below and paradise, its red alerts. the member of the crisis meeting is held in the complex, his 4 star hotels in attendance or owners, mostly wealthy people from a dread who pay upwards of half a 1000000 euros for their villas and local villagers. as he lab united in their anger elect, i think the total demolition by court order is insane. what was here before? asked the speaker pointing to

a mound of garbage. that was who cared about the environment. then when you come to it, i know that they must go with us, and we all agree that court rulings must be followed. but i think they just didn't have all the relevant information at hand. and now we're in an absolutely costco asked situation. the extreme madura a 2 hour drive south west of madrid is a natural paradise. but it's also want to spain's poorest regions here a 3rd of the population lives at or below the poverty line l. gordo, the village next door to the resort. once had nearly 2000 residence, now there are just 400 people from madrid saved us. they say suddenly there were jobs in the hotel and on the golf course and property taxes for the village coffers jeanette sod or returned to go to a few years ago. she sold her house in town and put all her money into this shop.

but the villagers seldom shop here. her business caters to wealthy clientele who stop in on their way to their weekend home. lydia melissa, riding home for august and overcome with abdi. we might have to close up shop there feel and we the only just opened. then we can flush our whole investment down the drain money. and it just makes me sad because we'd have to leave the village again . so far the it'll is intact in every one is going about their daily business. but years of legal battles have already left their mark. because even before the last ruling, the demolition rulings construction was halted. the project developers are bewildered. they tried to do everything right. make everything pretty. not like the concrete monstrosities of the seventy's and eighty's. but did they never have 2nd

father? i last law. i know what i never would hold that after the 1st ruling, the regional government even amended the land use laws that they are entitled to do that godaddy is reasonable if you got up, what am i? and so we assume that there would not be the slightest problem. environmental activists say, what didn't fit was simply made to fit. julio caesar is one of the campaigners who filed suit against the mighty, 90 valdez kanyes, probably making him one of the least popular people in the district. but that doesn't phase him. every one knew that this was a nature preserve, that birds live and breathe here. and still they built, it took a morton dental bertha into sequin toilet and then theat are followed. then this is going to set a precedent as your followers would like. i think i listed her montana, if you don't tear it down and leave it as it is because it's already standing, despite all the court rulings and all the services. so that sending

a signal more in spain, you can do whatever you want to the laverna, total demolition. that means everything, not just the hotel and houses, but also power boxes, water lines, and sports fields. this would have to be handled by the regional government, which had approved it all in the regional parliament. they avow to fight the ruling all the way to the spanish constitutional court that may also have to do with money . because the cost of demolition and compensation for the owners is estimated at $140000000.00 euros. if it really comes to that spanish taxpayers will be financing a 1st class funeral for the marina de about the con. yes. well, environmental protection is also a top priority for john and edward towers, the english dairy farmers love their job and their livestock, but cows are climate killers. they emit methane, which is

a lead and contributor of greenhouse gases at their farm and fall to near lancashire. an experiment is under way to make the industry greener. the cows had been put on a modified diet, designed to clear the air. ah ah, counts exceed a certain common wisdom and provide us with food. john and edward towers have a special bond with these animals, father and son, a dairy farmers in northern england. their only concern is that their cows produce large quantities of methane, a potent greenhouse gas wheaton solve the problems that we've got with in industry, and it's affecting upon it in a bad way. we can't produce milk and people can drink milk. we need to solve these problems. awesome industry for industry to carry on because it is not serving upon it. well,

we shouldn't have it. there are some 1500000000 cows on the planet. they produce a 3rd of the world's methane emissions, mainly through their belching. this makes them a climate hazard. so the towers are experimenting with a new type of feed supplement made from garlic and citrus. it influences enzymes in the cows, stomach, and intestines. the astonishing result, the cows emit 30 percent less methane, that i was received regular visits from other farmers and agricultural experts like these representatives from my life stock auction house. the towers want their visitors to recommend the new product so that more farmers can reduce their carbon

footprint. is about 50 percent of most farms. carbon footprint as though and certainly found a mission. so it would then knock your, i'm factory, knock our product down by about 15 percent in terms of the overall carbon footprint . this is the product we're, we've been fading. so the gal histories that, that is fairly strong smelling. and if you want to have a low with their, don't get too close, go. so i'll knock your socks off, but clearly the me alternatives to cow's milk, such as saw it out. and alman milk have been gaining popularity in recent years. that's the trend. the towers and determined to stop their family has lived in lancashire for centuries. farmers here claim that the soil is to pull for most crops, but perfect for cows to graze. protect in the app is something farmer john towers sees as his special responsibility. and a fail,

i'm very fortunate to be working with the younger generation of my family who are probably more foresighted than i am. and they could see the change coming faster than i could see common. and they've driven our business in that direction to face the challenge and to adapt our market to what our consumer is actually looking for . feeding the garlic supplement to their $400.00 cows cost the towers about $20000.00 a year. in the future, the climate friendly milk should be a part of emissions trading, allowing pharmacy to offset the additional costs. it towers says, i want to put solar panels on and i want to have electric charges. and i want to let you know, however, have a co roseville again so that i can capture the mayfair and use it for instructors all and things cost money. and if we do them all at once, run out of cash and number a terrible example, even more than ideas we're going to work. and so it's

a case if i'm sometimes raining in your ambitions or making sure you got partnerships with other companies also have the same kind of values. issue many farm is an old school and reluctant to change says john towers. but if the rent sun and to do everything in that power to make other dairy farmers more climate conscious, and they have one good argument in their favor. their milk doesn't taste of garlic at all. now to the happiest place on earth, finland for a 5th year in a row, it has topped the list of the world's happiest countries. so wherein lies the secret. for sal a hunk of war, a happiness is spending time with her family, enjoying the great outdoors. despite her country's reputation as our doesn't take her blessings for granted, finland shares a border with russia and the war and ukraine has prompted fins to reassess the threat. their neighbor poses living way up north means long periods

of cold and darkness. yet fin say they are the happiest people on the planet. sound lot of office this very well iowa, one resilience and a lot of respect of a nature that makes us happy someone and see a lot of stuff embarrass level, thought. well that and some delicious food by the lake fan. la hon. gov already and her family come here once a week. the nights menu, salmon, and grilled vegetable lake on. yet he is in lapland, the northernmost part of finland. it's the place of their dreams at thornbury. on more than one, i love these hills. it's the landscape of my soul yonder. when i stand on top of that mountain overlooking the vast life, i just feel small and insignificant on the fan and then all my day to day worries also seem trivial. ah, that's one reason why she and her family are looking for

a new home here in lapland the cotton manager comes from the south of finland. now she and her husband want to move to lapland, along with their 2 children, me and me glass to allow the youngsters to spend as much time as possible in nature far from urban life. that's why the family is moving around in search of their happy place. preferably one with few other people. ah, even though hell think he is considered one of europe's greenest and most easy going capital, it has too much stress and too little nature for this family. alongside nature, the finish state itself is a major factor in the happiness of its citizens. latest up also here, while we have freedom of the press and freedom of expression in finland,

there are free elections and the level of corruption is very low. it's on a group, and you also have the feel good package of the welfare state law, child benefit, unemployment benefits, and pensions. it gives people the feeling that the state actually cares about them, that, that who all but can this welfare state protected citizens from an outside threat? that's something many friends worry about, including saddler family. finland's border with russia is more than a 1000 kilometers long, and russia is an unpredictable neighbor whose attack on ukraine has shocked the world. okay, may i think i thought it was and worried about the current situation in him, but i try not to think about it. and hope that everything will get better soon down by think i don't wanted to take over my life. he thought this because that would just make me feel unhappy. the family's mood is however, quite relaxed. it's still the season for winter sports. and by introducing on the and me class to snowboarding, saw law is passing on her love for lap lands great outdoors. here the

ski season lasts from october to may, but the sonnet season is year round. for fin every day is a good day for a sana, so an american say i could poly on. so now is a big deal here in bali us on a pool. we often take a so now, sometimes on special occasions like christmas or midsummer, 3 times a day. now, it brings people together a honey one and get a taking a. so now means cleansing your body and your mind almost can there be happiness without it? in no way soon goes hand in hand with happiness. it really plays a big part in our lives. freedom is decisive for her happiness says saw la hon. cover wadi some day she hopes to travel all over europe with her family before returning to her favorite lake and lapland. her happy place.
