their language instead of ours law on the nozzle. a scheduled examination of surrogate mothers 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. so what do i do with the 3rd and i knew we're not allowed to keep. so again, babies of like cbs and if i go to jail them, yeah,

7:35 am
subsided on, and he says, things are under control again, almost 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. jewish, but many of our women about 10. are there just city law? yes. but going good. i am okay though, if they are 1216 or 20 weeks pregnant, me or you could be sure 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 as possibly it had been. 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 daughter brooklyn couldn't can the, initially, there were quarantine regulations fuels, but now it's fear that keeps parents away from them. couple 100 q. i bowed down to
7:36 am
the parents who made it to key levels despite the shelling an air, raid sirens, scenic. when you please are you. they came to the shelter where their babies were living on you for your to the train station where we also handed over babies right by the train. those are true parents from there should a, did the ukrainian authorities have removed some red tape to make it easier for parents to collect their babies. fed, lana says she'll stay and care for their babies that are already 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 $60000.00, according to the turkish foreign ministry. coastal cities like and talia that typically attract tourists are now also hosting ukranian refugees. but turkey has close ties with moscow and until he has caused is a big draw for russian holiday makers,
7:37 am
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 russian tourists bask in the sun. some sand and sea, even in spring, the turkish coastal city of antalya offers everything of vacationers. hark could desire. but tanya, most kai 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 for my she shing, him or what was of i to what bothers me is that i don't know what kind of people are around me right now. great. where do they come from? yeah, honey. what did they think about my heritage and my country? my units, unless now my use that a little because antalya is
7:38 am
a popular destination for tourists from russia, the country that has invaded her homeland ukraine. tanya knows that the majority of russians 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, directly to basically we love our country, our people, and our lives in russia when you mimes. but we also understand what's happening in ukraine. ah, green by the more weight. you can't lay miss russians for that sin of many people just believe it when russian tv claims that the ukrainian army is attacking it's on target. some in the savannah barley ear bag with i miss subway for 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
7:39 am
sanctions on russia. let's see, level two's in death. and the future the russian market can potentially supply 50 percent of all our tourists. the nickel headed goose, 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 named by a bit not you had you been to this 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. so that i shall molar turkish president recept, tie 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,
7:40 am
so she doesn't watch so much use otherwise, she won't stop crying moody, that's hot on me too. but distraction doesn't always work. tanya's husband is still in cave helping with the civil defense. folks mostly little again. looks fool crane . no, i won't go back to my husband. he didn't bring to my homeland, but i'm afraid and i don't know how to live with my fia. he said, i hear stories about girls getting raped if the committee between 10 and 14 years of age, duke of my lincoln 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 sun themselves on the beaches below. it's nice to hear watches but coin that, you know, i'm a very level headed person. i avoid conflict and i hardly ever start arguments. but
7:41 am
seeing people from russia, spending the vacations here and having a good time makes me pretty mad look to the little girl i directly school tanya 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. but despite the beauty, all is not well on ease, 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
7:42 am
upon entry, it's clear this is an exclusive resort from the golf course and marina to the discreetly placed villas that marina dabbled at con yes, 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 in paradise. it's red alert. a member of a crisis meeting is held in. the complex is 4 star hotel, baganda in attendance. our owners feel mostly wealthy people from madrid who paid upwards of half a 1000000 euros for their villas, settlement and local villagers gianni e lat united in their anger. they think the total demolition by court order is insane. means what was here before asked. this speaker laughed pointing to a mound of garbage. who cared about the environment, then will you have to write note that able to roll up on monday that most go as we
7:43 am
all agree, that court rulings must be followed at a fall day, but i think they just didn't have all the relevant information at hand. like a stop and now we're in an absolutely kafka asked situation the extreme, my daughter, a 2 hour drive south west of madrid is a natural paradise. but it's also one of 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 meg, i'm only the 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 saud or returned to al gore to a few years ago. she sold her house in town and put all her money into this shop
7:44 am
here. but the villagers seldom shop here. her business caters to wealthy clientele who stop in on their way to their weekend home video melissa, riding home for just on all the commonality. we might have to close up shop that field and we've only just opened. then we can flash our whole investment down the drain when he enact, and it just makes me sad because we'd have to leave the village again. so far the it'll is intact and 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 thought, but i did last year. i know, but i never got
7:45 am
a hold that after the 1st ruling, the regional government even amended the land use laws. they are entitled to do that. godaddy is reasonable if he got up, what am i? and so we assumed 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 madina invalid 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 more internal breath and say gwendolen then theat are followed, then this is going to set a precedent followers with the go through the list with a monkey any. if you don't tear it down and leave it as it is, because it's already standing, explain all the court rulings and all the surveys it so that sending a signal more in spain, you can do whatever you want to the laverna,
7:46 am
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 county us will environmental protection is also a top priority for john and edward towers, the english dairy farmers love their job and their livestock like cows. our climate killers, they emit methane, which is a lead and contributor of greenhouse gases at their farm and fall to near
7:47 am
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. we talk, solve the problems that we've got within industry, and it affects him upon it. and about 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 the planet well . we're some of it. there are some 1500000000 cows on the planet. they produce
7:48 am
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 a 30 percent less methane, that i was received regular visits from other farmers and agriculture experts like these representatives from a livestock auction house that towers one that 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
7:49 am
a mission. so it would then knock your effect. the 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 his citrus that, that is fairly strong smelling. and if you want to have a low with, i don't get too close ga, so i'll knock your socks off, but clearly the me alternatives to cow's milk, such as saw it out, and am and 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 claimed that the soil is to pull for most crops, but perfect for cows to graze. protects in the app is something farmer john towers sees as his special responsibility. a fail, i'm very fortunate to be working with the younger generation of my family who are
7:50 am
probably more foresighted than i am. and there could see the change coming faster than i could see goldman 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 euros 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 hover her co vill again so that i can capture the me fed and use it for instructors all and things cost money. and if we do them all at once, run out of cash, and then we're 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
7:51 am
as 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 where in lies the secret for sale, 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
