ah, with those who we are, your is actually on fire for mine's a . this is focus on europe. i'm lar babel loa, nice to have you with us. russia is launching fresh attacks and 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 berries 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 their will. so for now, ninety's and this is like a rena unspent, lana,

a caring for these babies in the hood, j, which is when like all children, the need wolves and affections. we're trying to provide that while the moms and dads cannot deploy kim, all of that. the mom old and i see 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 when she, they have young children doing my mine a grown up. if i went, you could take care of the babies with me. yeah, i couldn't abandon them. yeah, no more. it 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 more parents are finally able to come here with him from but we really hope they'll be able to collect their babies now evolving. it's so sad that the babies couldn't

spend his time with their parents from hearing 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 sorry cassie 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. would you like what should i do now? we a boy. yeah, i already have to cancel it. so what do i do with the 3rd? and i knew we are not allowed to keep. so 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 they 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 nasty. a comes from a keeps above and decided not to flee. mom on my own in boston up one year to a local dog cock suit. and when i remember it, let me just leave with me to put those. but i was extremely worried about the child to put them in case there 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 new chima. so i decided to stay from a good will. yep. and yours was the waterfall. sheila, how did seldom 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 so again, mothers who fled to poland, but con, stay there with you. last quarter of the criminal and the business. the consider agassi is illegal in poland, the which but many of our women about 10 are there law? yes. but going, cuz i am okay though, if they are 1216 or 20 weeks pregnant, me, you could be sure they gave me their word that they'd return when they're in their 28th week. why then, what's wasn't 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 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 car 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 ukrainian refugees. but turkey has close ties with moscow. and antelli as 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 russian tourists bask in the sun. some sand and sea, even in spring, the turkish coastal city of antalya offers every thing of vacationers heart 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 did they come from? yeah, honey, what did they think about my heritage and my country? 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, 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, greening, but the more me times you can't lay miss russians for that sin of many people just believe it when russian to v claims that the ukrainian army is attacking it's an target. some in the savannah barley ear, douglas, 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 closing death and the future. the russian market can potentially supply 50 percent of all our tourists. the nickel do 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 moore, their super yachts here safe from sanctions. florida, georgia, milan, 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. louise, it's hot on me too. but distraction doesn't always work. tanya's husband is still in cave helping with the civil defense folks. leslie little again looks little green. 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 getting raped. if the committee between 10 and 14 years of age, you go my link if they're in hospital and quite a few are pregnant. and so here in the hills above antalya, the ukranian is caught up again and again by the brutal war crimes in her homeland . while russian tourists on themselves on the beaches below. right to yeah, which is book one that you know, i'm a very level headed person. i avoid conflict and i hardly ever stop arguments. but

seeing people from russia, spending the vacations here and having a good time, makes me crazy mind. richard, that let us go directly 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 breath 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 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 con yes, rests 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 a red alert, a member of a crisis meeting is held in. the complex is 4 star hotels, unaccompanied and on 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, unit e lat united in their anger elect. i think the total demolition by court order is insane. you'll never miss what was here before, asked this speaker left pointing to a mound of garbage, who cared about the environment,

then will you have to write note that they want to roll up on windows that moscow as we all agree, that court rulings must be followed i could 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 esc situation. the extra 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 $400.00. does that mean they come for 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. janet 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

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 years and all that come with heavy. we might have to close up shop feel 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 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 thought i did last year. i know what i never heard, that after the 1st ruling,

the regional government even amended the land use laws, yet they are entitled to do that. godaddy is valuable if he got up. what am i? and so we assumed that there would not be the slightest problem environmental activists say would, didn't fit, was simply made to fit. julio caesar as one of the campaigners who filed suit against the mighty, not invalid tanya's, 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, and they say gwendolen then theat are followed, then this is going to set a precedent followers with like, i think i listed him, anthony, if you don't tear it down and leave it as it is because it's already standing, they expect all the court rulings and all the services so that sending a signal remote in spain, you can do whatever you want to. they 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 diabolic conyers. 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 or 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. and 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 with in industry, and it's affecting upon and about way. we can't produce milk and people can drink milk. we need to solve these problems as an industry for industry to carry on because it is not serving upon it. well, we should of 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 kaos, 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 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. is that and sorry me found

a mission so it would then knock your 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 as a gala, his citrus that is fairly strong smelling and if you want to have a low with their dog, etc, 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 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 and a fail. i'm very fortunate to be working with the younger generation of my family

who are probably more false. i think that 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 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, 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 caution them. we're a terrible example. even the more than ideas we're going to work. and so it's the 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 zeiler 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. so a lot of offices very well iowa, one resilience and a lot of respect of a nature that makes us happy. someone and serrado lost us in vice level thought. well that and some delicious food by the lake fan, la hon. gov already and her family come here once a week for 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 economy. 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 about boston. 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 the group . so 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. methods of those. 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 down by think i don't wanted to take over my life, he thought, 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 meek, laughed to snowboarding, saw la is passing on her love for lap lans. great outdoors. here the
