1:34 pm
i knew we're not allowed to keep sir. again, babies of nice to be and if i go to jail them, yeah, you'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 remains confident that there will gary in parents. his baby she is carrying will be able to collect their child as single mother with 2 children of her own nasty, a comes from a keep suburb and decided not to flee. mom on my own and boston up one year to a local dog, got sued image with my mother. i was just leave with me this, but i was extremely worried about the child was the name case that was shots or explosions on the journey. the very with was after a few weeks via people fell safer at home than elsewhere, were busy. boston, cham low. so i decided to stay from a good will. yep. and yours was the waterfall. sheila, how did so durham? 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?
1:35 pm
in the store room, the medical director shows us his supplies. the panic of the 1st few weeks has subsided on and he says things are under control again, mama that includes the issue with so again, mothers who fled to poland, but con, stay there with you. well, for sure. the green mill on the business, the consumer garcia's illegal in poland years. but many of our women about 10 or their decision law. yes. but going to lunch. 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. why then, what was after 28 weeks, the child was capable of surviving outside the womb was 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 connect. initially. there were quarantine
1:36 pm
regulations schools, but now it's fear that keeps parents away from them. couple 100 q. i bowed down to the parents who made it to key on those 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 say, should i 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 in cash 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 near by countries, some have landed in turkey, around 60000, 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 an talia's coast is
1:37 pm
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 russian tourists bask in the sun. some sand and sea, even in spring, the turkish coastal city of antalya offers every thing 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 the writer? 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?
1:38 pm
my, you know, unless now my use that a little because antalya is 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 died catalina, 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 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 its own targets. i'm 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
1:39 pm
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 cynical deal headed goon or tool 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 moore, their super yachts here safe from sanctions. so that i shall molded turkish president recept tie yeap air to won, 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
1:40 pm
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 mean too, but distraction doesn't always work. tanya's husband is still in cave, helping with the civil defense trucks mostly little again. knoxville crane. no, i won't go back to my husband usually bring to my homeland ducks, but i'm afraid and i don't know how to live with my fia. you say i hear stories about girls gets raped if the committee between 10 and 14 years of age sick of my link, if they're in hospital and quite a few are pregnant. and so here in the hills above antalya, the ukrainian is caught up again and again by the brutal war crimes in her homeland while russian tourists sun themselves on the beaches below. right. to yeah. which
1:41 pm
is book one that you, 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. richard, the little girl i directive to 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 at despite the beauty all is not well on these 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
1:42 pm
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 placed villas. the marina de balder 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 in paradise. it's red alert, a member of a crisis meeting is held in. the complex is 4 star hotels, unaccompanied them in attendance or owners feel mostly wealthy people from madrid who pit upwards of half a 1000000 euros for their villas. settlement and local villagers is unit 8 la united in their anger elect. i think the total demolition by court order is insane about me. what was here before? asked the speaker laugh pointing to
1:43 pm
a mound of garbage. who cared about the environment, then you can't do it. i know that you know that they must go with it. 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 kafka ask situation. the x ray, my daughter, 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, bill is next door to the resort once had nearly 2000 residence. now there are just 400 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 solder returned to al gore to a few years ago. she sold her house in town and put all her money into this shop
1:44 pm
here. but the villagers seldom shop here. her business caters to wealthy clientele who stop in on their way to the weekend home. video mother said i don't know what we might have to close up shop and we've 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 that it 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 ruling construction was halted. the project developers are bewildered. they tried to do everything right. make everything pretty, not like the concrete monstrosity of the seventy's and eighty's. but did they never
1:45 pm
have 2nd thought, but i did last. i know, but i never heard that after the 1st ruling, the regional government even amended the land use laws. they are entitled to do that money if you got up with mine. so we assume that there would not be the slightest problem in environmental activists say, what didn't fit was simply made to it. julio caesar is one of the campaigners who filed suit against the mighty 90 valley con. yes. probably making him one of the least popular people in the district. but that doesn't phase him. everyone knew that this was a nature preserve, that birds live and breathe here. and still, they built, it's a commotion. don't think $1.00 and then a follow that this is going to set a precedent. ours was like, i think this was a month if you don't her down and leave it as it is because it's already standing. all the court rulings and all the surveys that sending a signal in spain,
1:46 pm
you can do whatever you want to know. total demolition. that means everything, not just the hotel and houses, but also power boxes, waterlines and sports fields. this would have to be handled by the regional government, which had approved at all in the regional parliament. they val 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 medina devolved to con. you us will environmental protection is also a top priority for john and edward towers. the english dairy farmers loved their job and their livestock, but cows are climate killers. they emit methane, which is
1:47 pm
a leading 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 deck house produce large quantities of methane, a potent greenhouse gas. we talk, solve the problems that we've got with an industry, and it's affecting 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 or to carry on because it's not serving the planet well. we're some of it. there are some
1:48 pm
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 receive regular visits from other farmers and agricultural 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
1:49 pm
of most farms, carbon footprint as though and certainly found a machine, 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 galaxy switchers that is fairly strong smelling and if you want to have a low with, i don't get too close. guess ill, 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 me. scent is 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. protect in the app is something farmer john towers sees as his special responsibility
1:50 pm
to fail. i am very fortunate to be working with the younger generation of my family who are 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
1:51 pm
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 as an old school and reluctant to change says john towers. but if the rent sun aim 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 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
1:52 pm
of cold and darkness. yet friends say they are the happiest people on the planet. so a lot of office is very well iowa, one resilience and a lot of respect for nature that makes us happy someone and see a lot of stuff embarrass level, thought. well that, and some delicious food by the lake fund la hon. grove already and her family come here once a week. the nights menu, salmon, and grilled vegetable lake on nearby 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, a honda. 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

1:54 pm
there are free elections and the level of corruption is very low. it's on the roof, 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 and then who all but can this welfare state protected citizens from an outside threat? that's something many friends worry about, including sala 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, me. i thought i thought it was, i'm worried about the current situation in him, but i try not to think about it. and hope that everything will get better soon. gone by think i don't wanted to take over my life. he felt safe 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 laugh lands,
