oh as we take all the world. 3 i do all the stories that matter to you with those who we are, your is actually on fire for mines. ah, this is focus on europe. i'm labriola. welcome to the program. ukraine has been at war for around a 100 days, and there is no end in sight to the carnage. fighting is

especially fierce to new cranes, east was heavy artillery bombardments, striking key cities as russia tries to seize don bass region. while despite being surrounded by danger and destruction, ukrainian spare his river danco refuses to be driven out of don bass by putin's troops. the farmer has built a new life for himself in a small village. the front line is drawing closer with each passing day. many residents and even appeal you have had their livelihoods completely wiped out, still these ukrainians refuse to give up an idyllic scene if it weren't for the front line not far from here. sir, he fair and shanker, came to the village of yvonne obelia 8 years ago. the entrepreneur fled done yet where he ran a retail business launch im sure, what else can you do in a village?

let a good one to nothing. there wasn't, i'm not used to working for others as an entrepreneur graham 5th. ah, it wasn't love of nature that drove there. he is moved back to the land and done yet he was known as a ukrainian activist. when pro russian separatists took power, he had to flee behind ukrainian lines. he learned how to run a farm from the internet. now the brutality of war has caught up with him again. recently a bomb landed only a couple 100 meters from his house, movies. quote, with her both soldiers were quartered here for a while to pre colon liam level of the they moved in here. oh, then they were attacked. actually sibyl, which i thought, oh yeah, that i think there were some nice neighbors who told the enemy about them. laurel nice in quotes, globally low. they will. of course sir, he suspects that some people here secretly sympathize with russia for his part.

he makes no secret of his dislike of ukraine's neighbour. he himself spent 2 years fighting on the front lines just 15 kilometers from here. in recent years, the situation has remained tense, but stable. all now the fear and violence are back. i think if sir, he has already evacuated his wife to western ukraine. melissa lou sequoia who just imagine this scenario, maria, a show hits the farm hero. otherwise i'd have to see to my own safety in that of the animals of those. and then my wife on top of that to cervical, was you have to understand it's much less worry this way. the said it's much easier to take responsibility for herself than for others to shiver luba. 15 kilometers away on the front line. sporadic shooting has been going on here for

years. now shells rain down every day. welcome to new york population 8000 ethnic german settlers gave it that name in the 19th century. stolen re named at no god's gay. but since last year it's officially called new york again with you and oh, it bodies bought out of had hoped the name change would bring new energy to the aging industrial town. please, let's look at that couple when yet, there is no production here anymore. and he said that we thought the new name would attract investors to help us in this building was renovated with aid money. yet, as there used to be forums and cultural events held their executable sub. but i knew now the cultural center is surrounded by craters. numerous shells have struck the neighbourhood war from the hope you're the windows, the chassis, but my ruth came off he could easily, but in yellow,

i sat in the cellar while it happened gala. instead of giving readings of his work, bought out of now volunteers to care for the remaining residence, checking in on them and organizing aid. are you every day? i'm in the cellar. in fact, we've been in our sellers for 8 years. mother countless houses in town have been destroyed. 3 quarters of the population have fled, bodies bought out of sent his wife to stay with his daughter in western ukraine. he reaches her when you see what's happening. he himself won't consider leaving. marya therm, helena, as they say, hope is the last to die. i'm on the side of ukraine and i'm home. i believe the news and i was born here in this town. i'd wilted whistles. people as i

hope nothing comes down here, that whistling otherwise we'll have to hit the ground on the farm. sir, he's very jenko carries on as best he can. he used to send his goats cheese from the front line all across the country. but since the fighting increased mail services have shut down, left a little go paula. our revenues have dropped by 60 percent, but we're casa barely trying and sharp and moved loser by the. ah, but at least he has been spared the very worst. he has 8 employees who show up regularly for work and the war hasn't stopped the nanny goats from having kids with him. if i were a pessimist, i wouldn't have started a business in a place like this. i won't stay if it gets occupied, but that won't happen. and if it comes to that,

his uniform is still hanging in the closet. well, not far from your cray is georgia, and the war is wearing on people's minds there too. but in the village of crashed, our residents are also concerned about making ends meet. their incomes rely on a small, delicate plant that is endangered in some other parts of the world. snow drops grow in abundance in georgia and are among the country's top exports. but who is really profiting from the demand? delicate signs of spring, spring, snow flakes, and snow drops are among the 1st flowers signaling the end of a long winter in the caucasus mountains. for many georgians, there more than just a lovely flower, like many others here could tuna ya, kaylee makes a living from the bulbs of these early bloomers. gay dot will talk sally unseen. miss how my child is physically demanding i. i wouldn't say that

i'm ruining my own health here, but i do get tired and my back eggs is more clearly her pocket will show all day. i'm hunched over, working with her as a lease, but it's something i gladly do for the sake of my 2 children, always quiver. all of the lesser caucasus is a beautiful but poor region. the bulbs of the local snow drop flowers are a welcome source of income for people here. and demand remains high. each year about 22000000 georgian snow drop bulbs are imported by the netherlands and known one of the world's largest flower suppliers. elsewhere in europe, the plant is listed as a threatened species. so for georgians, it's a balancing act, protecting the largest snow drop population in the world while continuing to make a living from it. you are truly, sir, communal. this beautiful flower husband bringing us joy for centuries,

reward. our main goal is to preserve and spread its population music while we look for one of the most efficient ways is to study and expand the areas where at blooms of the so through story. so that way we harvest the smallest possible number of bulbs in any given area to return we're bushes. this strategy aims at building market demand while preserving the flour from extinction as well as in law. that's very important to us. the upper julian mitchell did not with ma'am only so many se is one of only 3 entrepreneurs in georgia, licensed to exports, snow dropped bulbs to europe in a warehouse. the bulbs cleaned and sorted with the boss himself getting involved just under a 3rd of the $13000000.00 bulbs he exports each year are wild coming from the mountains. the rest he saw says from local growers

the spring flower business is important to western ga unemployment here in the countryside is estimated to be as high as 40 percent. so many spring is the only time of year when this work. sim was also scribbles. guardian was out of the army, so me to 20 employees, work at the factory. arms come along with the gun. when we're preparing our product for export, we hired them on a temporary basis in. if you remove your shoe, we also use the land of several local families which are usually quite large in this area. surely, bodies, and we hire more than 500 locals to help pick the bulbs with a 2nd. while the good picks, george is spring. flowers are big business in europe. it's not just the dutch who are crazy about them. in britain,

there are flower expos and seemed travel packages. 10 years ago, a single plant fetched $860.00 euros at ocean. ah, that's an unimaginable price tag for george in snow drop pick her could to no ye kailey. in the small village if crushed her, she shares a house with her husband, 2 daughters, and a few other relatives. georgia, a former soviet republic has been independent since 1991. still prosperity has eluded most people here in the mountains, life is modest. oh, to the locals, peace is what matters most. but since the beginning of the russian invasion of ukraine could tuna fears the worst was on waste. oh, some old dog. everything i do, i do for my children. i hope they can get

a good education removal of my husband and i will support them along the way your lights horan cannot have. will god cleanable put on their share? i want them to live in a prosperous and united ga yogato. we see what's happening in ukraine dollars. hello. i feel so sorry for all the innocent people being killed and the parents who have lost their children or parent austria, our children should never have to experienced that. or sometimes i wonder what will happen if war breaks out in our country as well adult. what will we do if i pray that we can all continue to live in peace? she quit. i lash at the end of an 8 hour work day on the slopes of the lesser caucasus katina and her family drink to peace and prosperity. the regions, small, tender flowers are playing their part in making that wish come true turkeys, president, wretch,

up tie up air to watch those who air their grievances about him in public may find themselves behind bars. that's thanks to an article. and turkey's penal code, which criminalizes insulting the president and practice it's been wielded against dissidence, such as people who criticized the country's political corruption, crackdowns on the free press or police violence. and it's a charge he has been faced with rapper or coon. dk describes his lyrics as funny and satirical. but for the turkish president or cons, music is no laughing matter. lou aah! in his home studio in east m von repel o'con, dk is recording new song. despite being in trouble for old fort for no charge what i enjoy making music and yes and my lyrics. i also criticize what i think is going

wrong. her, the sure this is one of the videos for which the turkish president's lawyers have pressed criminal charges against all can go to a distorted photo of red chip tie a bad one. he wraps. send me money. there's also some swearing. that's why all colin had to go to court. he was handed down to 14 months suspended jail sentence for insulting the president that'd only up to put in that. i criticized air to want my putting words in his mouth mod, i let him say things that he does. i'm, that's criticism, not an insult. and above all home, it's funny. did it really re corner, but here in turkey, everything's now a problem. as though everyone's paranoid new, anyone who hears a swear word immediately sense is a crime. all people should relax, not just the president, but everyone is there. how did, if yes. all coolness. 28 years old. he earns money with his

rap songs. o'con isn't a celebrity, although he is sometimes recognized on the street. but you don't have to be a celebrity. to be accused of insulting the president and turkey. tens of thousands have been hit with the charge in recent years. teenagers and teachers, lawyers, and members of the opposition. recently the arrest of prominent journalists said if calabash caused public outcry, she had quoted an old proverb on tv. when an ox entered the palace, he does not become a king, but the palace becomes a barn. the sentence more than 2 years in jail suspended the law criminalizing insulting the president existed long before out on, but it was rarely used until he took office. between 20142020 turkish

authorities have investigated more than 160000 cases. nearly a quarter of them ended up in court. the law has definitely been abused. you know, it's clear that add ons, lawyers are combing her social media for any mention of the president. and you know, totally arbitrarily opening endless legal proceedings. basically it's, it's sending a message to the society that you know, you will not criticize. this has a chilling effect on every one. hello, the presidents, fellow party members, reject the accusation. adam yielded him is deputy had of outer ones, ruling a k p and east and boiler. he believed a number of insults has increased so much because more and more people are using social media and that the president doesn't have to put up with everything. oh, furniture foreclosure, oh, the way we look at our political leaders may be different than elsewhere in europe

. we don't disrespect our heads of state police. after all, they're elected by the p. it finished the day up. you can criticize the president as much as you want. i got it. i got it, but you can not insult him. that won't be tolerated. that kept especially in sarah . how clarity on i love all, i love. oh wrapper. all kirundi case sometimes spends more time with his lawyer than in his music studio that they have appealed against the prison sentence of the other shannon wounds over 3 mark him as they couldn't even tell us which part of orkin songs they considered insulting. for me, we told them to show us on it, but the prosecutor just replied. the insult is in the lyrics shall could, isn't them? it's just inappropriate to put any one in prison because of a song nowadays him get it. then we can shoot them over to you all can says he doesn't want to be intimidated, but you're giving a chef. many young people here in turkey no longer dare to say or write anything

critical. they're afraid. rogers look, but not every one is that i'm not like, i'll continue madam, but the pressure is increasing. hello, everyone here feels it. i'm again, our re bhaskar. show you what he said you out. yeah. whatever. the eventual outcome of his case, all con, will probably rep about it some day. oh, it's hard to believe that this was once so valuable. it could create and destroy empires. in ancient rome, it is said that soldiers were sometimes paid not with coins, but with salt, extracting the high quality mineral is still back breaking work even in our modern world. yet the ancient technique is drying. ringback city dwellers in france, closer to nature on the island of elderly, the profession was at risk of dying out. but now the island has become fertile ground for aspiring salt farmer's little michel li doesn't get

sore muscles any more. he extracts kilo off to kilo salt out hans full of sea water with his for me to long wooden rake. he goes back and forth all day long. there is a receiver, no problem and you have never done this before. i've never done manual labor. i have a lot of experience as a researcher, but that's not very physical work. but paula, it's nothing like as hard as this. bo lavolle has traded his desk job in paris to salt harvesting on either a. he's a trained fire chemist conducting research for the nuclear industry. now he only works barefoot, dash aqua gal. i love how everything is constantly changing the nuclear even though we keep doing the same thing. but in nature is amazing. every day is different, we're the colors are always changing near the j o formula. but if y'all could

provide agreeable his own. the idea of becoming a salt farmer came to him during the concert, looked down. he set about learning the 800 year old technique and so did i go google across helps train the next generation of salt farmers for the cooperative most salt farmers on the island until their harvest together through the co operative. they also conduct training together by the good currently has to trainees the birth of a group, not like that wrong. that's no good look diploma . it has to be uniform to predict awesomeness, im yoko little unix, we train somewhat older people who already have some work experience. but i think having experience in other areas helps it is not because we sold farmers or all our own bosses for what for butler, elderly is known for its salt farms. the craft had been at risk disappearing. but

today there are once again more than a 100 salt farmers on the island logging, tossed mad horn to pass on our skills so that the craft lives on 2 classes. it's pretty easy to get started here. you just have to work hard, but that's obvious. all is your buyer. a very rough was born here and grew up around the salt plants for the 39 year old, the job runs in his blood. his father and grandfather will also salt farmers. long, a plessy moist altima. i personally feel like things are changing with time. yeah, there's more precipitation and the seasons aren't as distinct as they used to be. is only by market come every lead. how they worries about the future. the salt of operation plans are below sea level. if the sea level rises, it will flood not only the palms but whole parts of the island. and he works

part time for the local government, maintaining dykes. he inspects them all twice a year. if you have, i'm protecting the cornerstone of my work. what's important to me to us today he's out on the eastern side of the island now to tell everything's in good shape here. that i know this dike was rebuilt just full years ago, gone much higher than it was before. but i said the microphone ever his boss joined him for the inspection to bio chose an awful. i feel bad if he can't leave it like bad bye. yeah. where to start cheering. psychos, cynthia. in 2010. everything he flooded. now the dikes are being raised. one by one of the to protect the islander on her face off at the or a short walk him as it was a response to climate change to protect the next couple of generations until they can rethink things to ship. uh huh. the dykes will be done in about 6 years.

your role is raking his la salt before the sun goes down. that's when his day finishes. when. oh, i'm looking forward to attending my own sol bonds as a real sold farmer, not just a trainee for new york latania. for his dinner party. with the progress he's making that day won't be far away. naples is a city of contrasts, where dilapidated apartment blocks and moderns structure stand alongside historic buildings. naples is also known for its bright and dark size, and that is especially true under ground. below the vibrant street of naples lies a secret world where death is helping to breed life into a struggling community. above ground naples,
