for listen carefully. don't know how to do a mattress discovery the world around you. subscribe to the w documentary on youtube. ah, ah . this is focus on europe. i'm laura babel allah, welcome to the program. we begin our show to day 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, poor sheriff, 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 for 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. most about them is can lose that, 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 bosom. your little them in the fit all went really smooth and fat, also in a booster. everything's fine. i'm on the road and 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 commute the mines on the burned down tanks, all the horrors that you see with this was as luckily the videos here. i had to bibles here, this is and to here is the beauty, the fear was there none the last thing you like to dolly, but i drove anyway. yeah, yeah. no business model for that. i had a business in mighty you both had just to win 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 your 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 dead seals mercer oh, it's been snowing. so today we can wash a bullet, hit right here to do all and more. we often took kids, but nothing that struck the bus hit any one paddle shrapnel came in here and here and here a run down with a hidden humor. he. lottie, how you who are the lucky i parked the car in front of the entrance deal? they protected us more. could you see where the bon head just behind the car?

a dollar 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 at balboa 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 samar was asking us to your benefit, killed the thing i was most afraid of seeing was the body of a dead child that scared me the most. what,

whenever there were bodies on the street, all small piles of them, and for these, i always looked away. both cooper, children have a special place in my life. no, i'm a father of 4 years of guinea. if i'd seen a dead child, i probably would have fallen apart and go all to mortal. yup. at earlier in the ups, dealers was less the 1st opportunity we left a. we loaded the van, the children pregnant women and mothers with children with local. my passengers are hello, melissa. oh, she's good. it was awful. what we passed mines in tanks. boom. how many there were lots of mannequins. oh, i mean dead people. we told them they were mannequins, that really they were bodies, right?

yes. oh, no. another vans joined us. sure, we'll call it the last one. there are more and more of us here with global engine. 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 solemnly, a real traffic jam in a g. so many people wanted to help get people out idea what? who did the only thing clinton's achieved is to show the whole world who ukrainians are and what ukraine is. people have come together. will general lucy, volunteers have brought thousands out of the city in their own cars when you many of them haven't returned you. some drove over mine, some other were caught in cross fire at night. 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 support it. 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 in 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 are ready ready to, to enter the night if, if this is, it will be made. we have been training to get her with her with a good partners which are basically made a pot as you know,

exercises for 44. yes. so that shouldn't be a problem. this historic turning point is especially relevant for the people of lapierre ranta on the border with russia. it was also when you turn for linda pond on to a local counselor in this tranquil little town, she couldn't see why her country should join the 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 a threat 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 weeks. the war has dramatically shifted finish opinion

. on joining nato, linda planned arda shows as the old fortress of lapin, atlanta 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 the symbol of the russian domination. she fears to day. my i got, i mean, and then at 1st i thought it was better for us not to get involved, did military alliances and bar or law li thought my, but now i think we should have decided to join much earlier that, that bad the such them the i got my eyes have been opened, if the luck of the him and i no longer see nato as a war alliance started just underneath that, not the but as the defense alliance for the last less than a bon forest. and that's what most people in lap in ranta think they have not been any indications of a confrontation yet, but many here are unsettled russia, so close, so not many other country next door. that's huge and dangerous and you don't know

what to expect from it. so a lot of, unfortunately, this neighbor is full of surprises, alicio lexia thinking, my living god of why hell but, but thought i still have some doubts. they could pass the along. sure, the situation is bad, but i haven't yet been able to make up my mind or satan lowville, we don't know about the risks of nato membership be better and what finland's obligations would be as a member because he available to so. so, warping a swarm of aga, monica gazoomba, i live just 11 kilometers from the border. when people ask me if i am afraid of the russians, i say, welcome to finland and let them come and we'll show them how we defend our country . good. amid was the most of them on the nato military exercises simulate expelling and aggressor. it's deterrence. as defense, a strategy nato has been pursuing, says russia's 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 mccoy just we're fighting for each other. i grants people on this, not that friendly for such was thinking. i think it's my find the fear in the view at the joint military exercises is that the western military alliance would benefit 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 boarded town of levy. and ranta feel safer, says counselor and arden. the others that boy one at the i hope will join nato as soon as possible or not on. yeah, boy, on that or crown us, i want the war in ukraine to n. soon. yar erabazzo sawdust, eminent walk,

and for europe to live in peace and stability, how high i thought of my little buckle while my eye off on for 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 of 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 porsche grin south of norway's capital are slow destined for the port of but avi. at 1st glance, thomas fair bangs bridge looks like any other. but it has quite a few more joysticks and monitors the in this of the hall. here you can see our only drive system footer. we don't have any diesel or auxilary engines that we're in, and yet we rely entirely on batteries. gov would over all the lights, mainly as well as proportion of them lift. generally she'll have at least a diesel engine as a back off all you all the war. been here. we've done away with that completely along the route. good about that you some who with you as the ship glides down the are slow 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 assume that still a fairly short harp toys, but electrician bure, not flo sodom is already mulling over solutions for the future vocal vista. so for a long distance, it for longer distances, they'll be a kind of power bank by the 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. the 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 yard 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 disembark and board norway's ferry users are glad to see the countries electric boom. take to the water. yeah, we lose. yeah, i like that the series, much more my carolyn, 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 vos gus had to get used to it. the stuff to force and force moliere law. the biggest difference for us is the quiet is as you can tell, you can't hear a thing and others. janelle mccall, this diesel fairies react slower to steering commerce and crew. the curve is flatter socked of an electric ferry reacts much faster. similar to electric car,

they'll be making shipping more environmentally friendly is just one advantage of the yadda beard. colon norwegian engineers are also using it to see whether ships can sail without our crew on board. right now. tomas fave ang 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 up in the maritime trails 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 all guns i'm 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 stretch 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 to any chess is in crisis. even before the coven pandemic, for a 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. yeah, the waiting list here long doctor sobs and do so. 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 recap 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 dame. claire to rada is the g p, and president of the royal college of general practitioners. she was able to see most of her 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 flex in our health system. we've had, we have fewer beds per head of population and 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 h. s. doctors,

nurses and paramedics also say they're at breaking point 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 mostly departments that don't have room to offload up the patients, fall ambulances. and that means, unfortunately, all ambulances are waiting to fly patient 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, they're 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. this is a responsibility for the n h. s. ultimately rests with prime minister boris johnson . in the past few weeks, he's visited several hospitals. partly in an effort to get some favourable media attention, the government has increased national insurance contributions to raise funds for the health system. good use. absolutely. everything in our tool box are to fix the backlogs, investment, massive investment that we're making, but also new technology and of course, on the massive investment. so we're making in start. however, his government admits that things are likely to get worse before they get better in a year or 2. meanwhile, stafford bedford's ambulance service are voluntarily working extra shift to make up for shortages. some paramedics even leave their peepers on when they're not working, which struggle to get an ambulance there because of how far our is but they will be

1st on seen if somebody stopped breathing so there's lots of them. and this 47 now . coney looked on, i've eloped rosemont motorcycles just like here in bedford. it's the tireless commitment of people that's keeping the n h as afloat 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 jang is coach jack. he gets to enjoy a spectacular view. and the trip comes with an adrenalin rush. coach shack 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 jokes day begins like many other people's in turkey, a last sip of coffee, then he's out the door the rest of co chucks routine is less typical. for one thing, his workplace is purged at a 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 going these up. he didn't see she often. he fear awakens my curiosity. when i'm afraid i can sense myself, i told him the hydrocodone 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 hoof masted. this extreme sport co check arrives at work and he's the manager of the above a dark cable car. he hangs his wing suit up by his desk, but apart from that, his work day has very little to do with extreme sports. good. well, that's his. his job involves monitoring the cable cars, technical systems, and keeping an eye on the panorama restaurant 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. in the city, 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 hob's bull, paraglider is coach. i can get a piggy back ride up to just the right cruising altitude.

then he just spreads his arms and heads for hun at speeds of up to a 180 kilometers in our home is by one of turkey's most beautiful beaches live 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 mystery. so she has it been the last job is to stow the equipment in his backpack, uppermost wing suit flies. the extreme sport is

a rare experience. for jenkins coach jack, it's the quickest way home and that's all from as 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 with ah, ah, with
