7 percent the platform with, you know, or this channel, we are not afraid to capture delicate topic. africans population is growing fast. and young people clearly have the solution. the future launch is 77 percent every weekend on d w. ah ah, this is focus on europe. i'm labriola, welcome to the program. we begin our show today in ukraine where there is no let up

in the fighting. bombs, injuries and death have become a part of everyday life. and the brutality is especially felt in the poor city of mary you, paul. the as of a steel plant has been almost completely destroyed by putin's troops, residential neighborhoods are in ruins. the landscape is apocalyptic. people trapped in mary jo paul are desperate for help. some are risking their lives to escape, while others are barely surviving under siege. among those who managed to flee mary paul, to safety army hilo, poorer shift and his family still mika, yellow, refused to leave his people behind and kept returning to the bombed out city. to deliver life saving aid, our reporter caught up with him after one of his trips. yup. and most of what i understood, the town was under siege length 20 years. if i understood that nobody was going there. yeah. but my employees were there. i promised them i would come home,

bring aid and get them out, mr. about them. as soon as my friends and i pulled money to buy the van mo, computer, we packed it up with relief supplies and painted it. and so it would be recognizable, wilson with them in the fit, all went really smooth and fat, lost them in a booster. everything's fine. i'm on the road and then hopefully i'll get there. okay. you would stop. lenient. cardozo was also idea how suddenly i had passed the last ukrainian checkpoint in our each other problem. intellectual i encountered the war and commune the mines on the burned down. tanks all the horrors that you see with this was as luck uploaded, the videos here, i had 2 bibles here. this is and 2 here is the beauty of the fear. was there none the last thing you like to dolly, but i drove anyway. yeah, yeah. oh no, this is what happened. i had a business in my to you both just to and it was a club, mozilla. most of it was in the basement. it had concrete ceilings,

so we turned it into a bomb shelter. you order. there was a grill. so we could cook food and boil water damage. we joked that it was a 5 star bomb shelter, ship beds, wheels, and i said, oh, it's been snowing. so today we can wash through a bullet hit right here to really all and more we often took kids, but nothing that struck the bus, hit anyone shrapnel came in here and here and here a run down with a machine, lottie, how you who are the lucky i parked the car in front of the entrance. they protected us more. could you see where the bon head just behind the car?

a machine? a car was driving by at that moment he blah blah. the grandmother inside dian with so no come her grandson and i dragged her across the road. mobile school you. which is that all? what's in my face? gross blood a lot. yes. nora. like it brings tears to my eyes to see the children crying and afraid. i hope god will save them. it's horrific. just horrific. those us will do everything we can and it's terrible. the memories are coming back. sam, i was asking, so you're being killed. the thing i was most afraid of seeing was the body of a dead child. it that scared me the most. whenever there were bodies on the street,

all small piles of them, and for these i always looked away both to po 4. children have a special place in my life. no, i'm the father of 4 years. have good news if i'd seen a dead child, i probably would have fallen apart and go all mortal. yup. with dear rosa was left the 1st opportunity we left a we loaded the van, the children pregnant women and mothers with children. look, my passengers are hello. melissa o changed. it was awful. well, we passed mines and tanks. boom. how many there were lots of mannequins o. b. i mean dead people. we told them they were mannequins, but really they were bodies. right?

yes. oh no. another vans joined us. sure. we'll call it the last one was there are more and more of us here with global again. oh, not on my 1st trip. i was the only one focus though, but the 3rd time i queued at the check point for 40 minutes solemn law, a real traffic jam in india. so many people wanted to help get people out. i legitimate would who to me the only thing gluten to achieve is to show the whole world who ukrainians are and what ukraine is. people have come together or general lucy, volunteers have brought thousands out of the city in their own cars. when you many of them haven't returned nick, some drove over mindset, other were caught in cross fire at night. so these are regular ukrainians every day people for people living close to russia in finland like linda brown after the war has

marked a turning point. finland was a neutral country for nearly 80 years, staying out of military alliances. it's a stance, the vast majority of fins supported. now linda and many residents in the border town of lap in atlanta are eager for their nation to join nato. it's a move that has sparked anger in moscow, but for most fins, neutrality is now a thing of the past. simulating war to secure peace with its more than 3000 soldiers and nearly 700 vehicles. the finish army is holding our $22.00 exercises in western finland together with nato. for the 1st time in the country's history, a majority of fins want to join the alliance. others, we are so ready ready to enter the night 8th. if this is, it will be made, we have been draining together with the good partners, which are basically native pot, as you know, exercise is for $44.00. yes. so that shouldn't be

a problem. this historic turning point is especially relevant for the people of lappy and ranta on the border with russia. it was also a u turn for linda pond on to a local counselor in this tranquil little town. she couldn't see why her country should join a military alliance until now the town and it's beautiful cafes enjoyed the benefits of its neighborly relationship with russia. she says russian tourists from st. petersburg loved coming to lapierre. ranta, but times have changed my opinion. it's a rush. it doesn't seem of tibet before. now, i think only about our 1000 kilometer shared border kilometers. on these days, the nearest border crossing is all but deserted. there's little traffic from either side. that's mainly the result of the war of aggression. russia is fighting against its neighbor ukraine in just wakes, the war has dramatically shifted finish opinion. on joining nato.

linda planned arda shows as the old fortress of la pain of anton built in the 18th century to defend against the russian army. back then. it didn't prevent the russians from conquering the city. she sees it as a symbol of the russian domination. she fears to day. my, i guess, i mean, and then at 1st i thought it was better for us not to get in her did military alliance. i'm bought or lot, lee thought my but now i think we should have decided to join much earlier that, that bad the such them i got my eyes have been opened, if they're lucky of him and i no longer see nato as a war alliance started just underneath that nato had as the defense alliance for the last late than alon forest. and that's what most people in lapi in ranta think they have not been any indications of a confrontation yet. but many here are unsettled russia, so close, so not money have a country next door. that's huge and dangerous and you don't know what to expect

from it. so let the, unfortunately, this neighbor is full of surprises. alicio lexia k. oh god of why hell but, but thought i still have some doubts the guitar. feel on sure the situation is bad, but i haven't yet been able to make up my mind for satan levine. we don't know about the risks of nato membership be very and what finland's obligations would be as a member because he available to so, so warped sore mouth, aga monaco gazoomba, i live just 11 kilometers from the border. when people ask me if i'm afraid of the russians, i say welcome to finland and let them come along and we'll show them how we defend our country. good. what was the most of them on the nato military exercise the simulate expelling an aggressor. it's deterrence as defense, a strategy nato has been pursuing his rushes invasion of ukraine, arming its entire eastern flank as a result and finish nato membership would especially strengthen the security of the

baltic region. now it's still going crazy. i would say what's happening and nobody expect to rationalize as we can being dropped back was a mega wagers. 3 are fighting for each other against people on this, not that front for a central thinking. i think it's my find the serial the view at the joint military exercises is that the western military alliance would benefit for finland's military involvement. the country may not currently be a nato member, but it is a nato partner working closely with the alliance since 1994 full membership would also help people in the small border town of levy in ranta feel safer, says counselor bond aren't in there. this is boy one at the i hope will join nato as soon as possible on not on your boy, on that crown us. i want the war in ukraine to and soon yar erabazzo sawed on

someone and walk in for europe to live in peace and stability. i thought my little buckle mile my eye off on more. you know, you then burned out a hopes. the blue here will be able to enjoy their free time without worrying. she believes that nato is key to a peaceful and stable finland hollow. norway, which also shares a border with russia, has long been a member of nato. the nation is not only well positioned in terms of security, but also when it comes to energy in norway, the worn ukraine has not led to any shortages. that's because the country is one of the world's largest exporters of gas and oil. it's also a pioneer and e mobility per capita. it has more electric cars than any other nation in europe, and it's set to get even greener. that's thanks to people like thomas fave ang,

who is leading our way into the history books. as captain of the world's 1st battery powered container. ship containers are loaded onto a freighter and push klune south of norway's capital or slow destined for the port of but a v. at 1st glance, tomas fare bangs bridge looks like any other, but it has quite a few more joysticks and monitors the in this of the hall. you can see our early drive system, but we don't have any diesel or auxilary engines we're in yet. we rely entirely on batteries of foot over all the lights, mainly as well as proportion removed. generally, she'll have at least a diesel engine as a back off all you all the war. but here we've done away with that completely along the route. good about that is some who with you but as the ship glides down the us low fjord, it leaves no trail of black smoke. it's fully electric. in the engine room,

tomas shows us his ships, beating heart banks of batteries, charged with power from a hydro electric plant for a single charge can take the ship about 75 kilometers, also showing that still a fairly short harp toys, but electrician bure, not flo sodom is already mulling over solutions for the future over this to so for a long distance it for longer distances, they'll be a kind of power bank by this sea over by ships can stop there and fill up like at a gas station. komatsu law then off to the next charging station, the ability. so with a network of charging stations, the range would be unlimited long them. when it comes to electro mobility, the norwegians don't just talk big. they put ideas into practice whether on water or land, even as the yacht, a vehicle and container ship is in its test, phase dozens of car fairies are already applying the fjords on electric power. the

ports are equipped with gigantic outlets for the ships they recharge, while passengers disembarked and bore norway's fairy users are glad to see the country's electric boom. take to the water. yeah, you lose. yeah, i like that. this varies much more modern and much quieter. and it's bigger 100 so they can take more cars on the bus. do electric can carry 200 cars and 600 passengers making it the world's largest electric drive ferry. the environmentally friendly propulsion also changes the handling. captain eddie voskus had to get used to it, then stood still for shameful sneer. lo, the biggest difference for us is the quiet. as you can tell, you can't hear a thing and the others. janelle mccall, this diesel ferry's react slower to steering commands and crew. the curve is flatter socked of an electric ferry reacts much faster. similar to electric,

it'll be making shipping more environmentally friendly is just one advantage of the yacht beard. kellen, norwegian engineers are also using it to see whether ships can sail without her crew on board. right? now thomas favorite still needs to be on the bridge also, but in just 2 years the ship should run itself with the captain on shore war lou healthy of the ship will make its own decisions throughout membrane. my job will be to monitor them and make sure the boat is doing what it's supposed to. didn't see it up on nothing. the maritime trail should be complete in 2 years. then norway will have the world's 1st all electric and south piloting container ship. imagine you have a serious illness or accident and no access to health care for many people in great britain. this situation is a reality. the islands and national health service, or any chess is on life support. under funding, red tape and chronic staff shortages have left millions of britons without access

to proper care. and it's not only the sick who are suffering. the crisis is also taking a tool on medical workers. they feel powerless in britain's ailing health system. she may be smiling, but lara's fighting for her life. she urgently needs a new kidney, preferably a pancreas too. she has been waiting for a transplant for 3 years. in october, i received an offer for a kidney and pancreas to hop simultaneously, and it was a good offer. they were good match for me. they were good organs. and unfortunately they did everything they occurred, but they just couldn't find or free up. and i see you bad for me. salvation was within reach, but with the national health service stretched to its limits. even patients like lera sometimes can't get treatment. you wait so long. and it's like finding

a needle in a haystack trying to get the right match. you know, this isn't something that comes up every day, so it just feels utterly devastating and not frankly disgusting. that an opportunity that so rare and so special has had to be messed you to a logistical nightmare. she has no clue when another oregon offer will come up. the in a chest is in crisis. even before the coven pandemic, for 1000000 people in britain were waiting for necessary hospital procedures. now the backlog has had 6000000 patients come to london's kingston hospital for cancer treatment. yet the waiting list here is long. dr. sobs and dues that this has already had fatal consequences. coping with treatment, patients who are potentially curable, become non curable, but treatable. but we'll still do the best we can, and that's very sad when that happens. doctors and nurses can hardly keep up with

the workload. with $90000.00 posts currently unfilled, there is a shortage of staff to perform necessary procedures. money is a big factor. health care in britain is financed through taxes. but for years the budget for the n h as has been to tight. dane clare to rod a, the g p and president of the royal college of general practitioners. she was able to see most of our patients to day, but some will have to wait. i have to say it's true to the pandemic. i. i think we've had very little a flex in our health system. we thought we have fewer beds per headed population than most european countries. certainly. and though we've had money put into the nature seats against a backdrop of being one of the lowest funded again, in comparison to our european colleagues, it's not only patients who are suffering from a straining in a chess doctors,

nurses and paramedics also say they're at breaking point oh, in bedford ben hawkins answers, emergency calls for the east of england ambulance service. lucy, for weeks he struggled to get his paramedics to where they're needed on time. there are emergency departments that are full and emergency departments that don't have room to offload our patients while ambulances and that means, unfortunately, our ambulances are waiting to off lay patients say they've still got them on board their ambulance. and, but it does mean that we can't always get ambulances back into the community, which means patients are waiting in the community. it's causing stress for him. and his team, extreme cases are on the rise decision between i've got 2 people, not breathing and one ambulance, which one to send it he, you know, and actually we don't know these people were making decisions about their life. we don't know them. i know some staff over there quite the way home. i will have

a moment. his responsibility for the n h. s. ultimately rests with prime minister boris johnson. in the past few weeks, he has visited several hospitals, partly in an effort to get some favorable media attention. the government has increased national insurance contributions to raise funds for the health system. good use absolutely. everything in our tool box or to fix the backlogs. investment, massive investment that we're making, but also new technology and of course on the massive investments are making in stock. however, his government admits that things are likely to get worse before they get better and a year or 2. meanwhile, staff at bedford's abilene service are voluntarily working extra shifts to make up for shortages. some paramedics even leave their beepers on when they're not working, which struggled to get an ambulance damn because of how far our is,

but they would be 1st unseen. if somebody stopped breathing, so this lot of them and this 47 now kearney looked on a voluptuous fun to watch cycles. just like here in bedford, it's the tireless commitment of people that's keeping the n h as the float. at least so far. for most of us, the daily commute to and from work can be a real drag, but there are those who say it's the highlight of their day. like changes co check, he gets to enjoy a spectacular view. and the trip comes with an adrenalin rush. coach jack works among barbara in turkeys mediterranean. despite being at an altitude of a 1000 meters he can make it back down in minutes. so how does he do it? save yourself. soaring high above the earth like a bird of prey, then landing smoothly on the ground for jenkins co. chuck, it's the perfect way to end his working day. co jugs day

begins like many other people's in turkey, a last sip of coffee, then he's out the door. the rest of ko chuck's routine is less typical. for one thing, his workplace is purged at 1200 meters altitude on mount above radar. on turkeys southern coast, his commute involves a cable car then his in his element at dizzying heights like these are these up. she didn't show up. he fear awakens my curiosity. when i'm afraid i can sense myself logical. co chuck needs the challenge during his time as a paratrooper with the turkish armed forces. he discovered base jumping with and without a wing suit. he's one of the few people in turkey who've mastered this extreme

sport. co chuck arrives at work and he's the manager of the bubble dog cable car. he hangs his wings suit up by his desk, but apart from that, his work day has very little to do with extreme sports. well, that's his. his job involves monitoring the cable cars, technical systems, and keeping an eye on the panorama restaurants and the viewing platform. after coach jack puts in his 8 hours, it's quitting time in a moment. he looks forward to each day. iniquity, i rarely take the cable car home because i can fly or tell you he puts on his wing suit as this is one of turkey's hobbs vo, paraglider is co jack can get a piggy back ride up to just the ride cruising altitude.

then he just spreads his arms and heads for hon. at speeds of up to a 180 kilometers in our home is by one of turkey's most beautiful beaches. lou dennis ah, to land safely old coach jack has to do is open his shoot and he's almost time. 4 minutes of flying instead of 40 minutes by cable car. i and now i'll unwind and watch netflix. netflix is it been the last job is to stow the equipment in his backpack for most winks. it flies the extreme sport is a rare experience for jenkins coach jack. it's the quickest way home.

and that's all from us this week here at focus on europe. don't forget you can watch more of our show online at t w dot com. thank you so much for tuning in. take care and see. ah ah ah ah, with
