ah, sometimes a seed is all you need to allow the big ideas to grow. we're bringing environmental conservation to life with learning pass like global ideas. we will show you how climate change and environmental conservation is taking shape around the world and how we can all make a difference. knowledge gross through sharing. download it now, feel free. ah ah, hello and welcome to focus on europe, where we begin by taking a closer look at the refugee crisis, sparked by the russian invasion of ukraine. now,

according to united nations figures, some 5000000 people, mainly women and children have fled to their wor, told homeland, and many have sought refuge in poland and other neighboring countries, such as russia. now germany for its part has taken in more than 800000 people and there is no end in sight. well bore, guerria has also provided general support for tens of thousands of desperate ukrainians. many have so far been house on the countries black sea coast in places like boar gas. but as the tourist season gets under way for people like carina marina and tiny alina, it's a return to uncertainty. oh, a bus journey into the unknown. for a few months, the ukrainian refugees found a place to stain borges bulgaria. now the state is moving them to other shelters for how long? no one here knows. no,

it's very hard with 2 children. there's no where i can just leave them there and, and move with my it up until june, about 60000 refugees. where staying in these hotels along would gary us coast line . but shortly before the summer season began, will gary a reduced compensation to hotel operators from 20 years per day, per refugee to 8. the director of this hotel complex says that's not nearly enough to cover the costs. they also require marshall for him. it's clear, this is our businesses tourism, but so there was no way they could stay on during the summer season or locked in no groceries this little at the same time. however, there is a lack of seasonal workers in the tourism business. carina and marina put up ankle are among the few who are allowed to stay. both come from hot keith, where they had a flower shop. now they are learning how to set a lunch table in the hotel. floating up a coupling, it difficult to plan at all and the way we don't know what happens to morrow would

we plan to stay here for the summer season and work it up? what they however, the hotel operators themselves do not know how many tourists will come to fill the rooms vacated by the refugee russian tourists. usually a big part of the tourist trade will not come because of sanctions. meanwhile, some here are happy that refugees are now being accommodated elsewhere. put mental silva, i think we helped enough. it is not necessary to help them anymore. and those who live from tourism say ukrainians are not good business. for tenure, they don't have money. they don't buy anything. dealing with refugees has become a major issue and will guerria. there is still a lot of solidarity in the capital. sophia, soviet monuments were painted in the collars of the ukrainian flag that in this

demonstration is a cold full held on its body po garcia. i don't think the days are you? good you are, but like a surgery. so anyway, he's political or white by showing we want to say in all the west, the little energies is a good way to work for the help of your salespeople. belinda says, press force at the same time, pull shoe, about one 3rd of bulgarians. still maintain a very positive attitude towards russia's president, putin and sociologists damage our gun of says that the longer rushes war against ukraine continues, the harder it will be to maintain solidarity. could ukraine awful tropical sprawl, vision to the support for refugees were through the decreased because tensions will continue to rise over will gary us way of being for them and over the allegations remote that they do not integrate fast enough in the labor market to turn this into groups of buddhism will fall schooley opposite of marina and carina know little

about the ongoing debate. they're focused on providing moments of joy to the children. but it's hard to deal with the fact that while they're here in a relaxing beach, vacations spot violence and death are right across the black sea. norma houses are still being bombed, had kiefer is being destroyed, especially at night situation is stands for everywhere. and there is nowhere to return her book on any other marine as daughter, alina bursts into tears, when she hears the name of her home town. everything will be fine. alina calm down, everything will be all right, my kitten, we will go home. the alina would like to go to school so far, it's not been possible due to various administrative hurdles. the government says, integration is difficult. that able to work here is seasonal. and when it's over, there'll be nothing to do here. it will have no means to feed our kids and no

accommodation if edge, and therefore we must find a place where we can make money and have means for our kids massage entity. and that's why these for marina and carina will probably follow those who are already leaving the coastal towns to another city or country. well, as the war in ukraine, rage is on this one that european country that has struggled to decide whether to lean more to the west or to the east. can you perhaps guess which country it is where residents have even renamed the village where they live in his honor, calling it, putting ovo. while the answer of course is serbia, which did condemn moscow's invasion of ukraine, but did not join the youth tough package of sanctions imposed on the russian economy. while it tends to be the older generation of serbs who warm to vladimir putin in the capital belgrade. meanwhile, younger serbs like design and aveena ivana, which are likely to be more cautious when it comes to expressing their enthusiasm

a place for putin fans this bumpy dirt road leads to pretty novel, a hamlet in the southern mountains of serbia and the home of me. lutein petrosage a few years ago he and his friends changed their villages name from urgency to put in oval, put into the russian ambassador at the time, even help them build the rude boy back. what are the reasons for our affinity run very deeply and we, serbs and the russians are brothers. really, patina full lies at an altitude of nearly 1000 meters. all several dozen residents are retired. they scrape by on their pensions and whatever vegetables they grew. they are particularly proud of their, in named after the crimea her. there you are my heroes that the in this where me looting gets together with his friends for

a drop or 2 of their home meets lovetts called putting okay, no credit. vladimir putin is their idol and their patron saint isaac wirelessly, put you out of gratitude to putin. we decided to name our village, putting over we came up with the idea 7 or 8 years ago. as you know, we were often oppressed by the west. and so our brothers, the russians came to save us from the plague of the west. dasa, it's going to be a long evening at the crimea in, and the war on ukraine will once again be a leading topic of conversation for of the last that i am or we long live russia, that he has either been. then you really downtown belgrade, the new fashions to do this, young serbian label is taking shape in a rear courtyard. it's hair is the 30 year old. the vienna advantage to her the world is her home and she can't relate to the affinity so many of her fellow

serbians feel towards russia. rapids, you know, if i'm constantly trying to find where i belong, that inspires my work. i've learned i can be at home anyway, not just in europe or the west off the whole world is all shad garden radical twice navient as designs are modern, experimental, and urban and the enjoy international success. the designer sees her label, not just as a brand name, but also is a symbol of cosmopolitan ism. is asked the sadly, not many of my countrymen see it that way. they feel discrimination against by the european union, because sub is not a part of it. i wish they thought differently because this community comes with so many advantages, though, as i knew it at the moment she preparing for a business trip to paris. in a few days, she'll be meeting young people from all over europe. events motto is europeans

making a difference. serbia is currently the largest and most influential country in the western balkans is economy is humming along its biggest trading partners. are you members? germany in particular but for energy services, almost entirely dependent on russia. it's natural gas suppliers and filling station networks. our majority owned by the russian energy giant gas from almost finished. this initial of serbia is not to blame for russian and chinese encroachment into the balkans. the blame lies with the e. u. the 10 years ago would have been the right time for the you to take in serbia, applying the same criteria as with romania and bulgaria started back at the crimea and putting over the closely traditional balkan instrument comes out among other things. and then talk about the you even these putin acolytes could picture serbia

joining the you if need be. i don't what are on me them with him or a phone in i joining the e u is conceivable. but on a level playing field without pressure or patronizing either right now they're strangling us. we can't breathe that are needed addition. as far as the warren ukraine goes, the villager see it's already lasted far too long by year 3. okay inc. the ukrainians are also our brothers, and i and i grieve that they've been attacked as an equal now it's up to put in to get himself out of the situation. the death. oh, i gotta from that back in belgrade fashion design, aveena packs for her big journey to paris. the war and ukraine has only increased her antipathy towards russia. she never felt especially attracted the country anyway. it was always foreign to her and feels even more so nowadays. navina sees her future in the west now

well to turkey in our country where ancient and modern often stand side by side. in summer months, for instance, no mads seek out high mountain pastures to graze their livestock in winter time, but then drawn to the mild coastal plains along the mediterranean sea. it's the kind of cycle that used to be common in many regions of europe. now though it's increasingly rare, even in more remote parts of turkey, that proud to drovers like path in sovereign sake, they will fight for a life, lived that nature's pace. in a few days, perving sovereign and her goats will set out for their grand journey. she's a nomad and one of the last in turkey in the winter, she lives on a small farm near the central anatoly and city of qana. and in the spring,

she travels with her animals to the highlands just like her forefathers. janet mishenko sultan muscles that makes reason not being able to move around would be the end for all. we don't like being cook top nor do the animal on the cell, but i could just, well not, i'm a producer. bizarre mccleveland not in. she's more than a herds woman. she's also the president of an association representing the last nomads of central anatolia. in the past years, she is advocated for her people's rights and taken a stand against environmental destruction. before she and her her get moving, she wants to see how her fellow herdsman on the road are doing. there could be trouble. the bar jack nomad family is already waiting for peer vin sovereign at their campsite. as our massage was that it was more avia. they have

several 100 goats in there. heard and half a dozen drama dairies. abraham budget has been an o matic herdsman since he was a child. when they're out, the no man's live of the milk and meet their animals provide. but this life is becoming increasingly difficult. good. the wasn't feel sure, we'll keep up here. it's not noisy or dirty on. we have our peace that we're not left in peace isn't whether they blocked our pathway up there. well, work little one on a fueling, but somehow yes, we'll find a way another. it was an ugly channel. one is sushi as much in modern turkey. there are only a handful of families keeping the nomadic tradition alive. but the past few years, they haven't managed to find enough water for their animals and that's partly due to quarries like this one here. that all that you all bottle very explosion has

caused a great deal of damage to the underground water reservoir sariana that changes the coolest of the springs about making them inaccessible to late night, as falling time to attend to the animals and gather around the fire appear. the nights can get pretty cold, even in the summer months or rather than the next morning while the little ones are still asleep. abraham badge jak and the others start breaking down camp. in the past, they used to load all their possessions on the camel's food, water and even sick goats. now they use trailers will not dominated. we packed up to that and are moving on, that it will, it will have to see if we can find a spot to stay again one evening. good under gilbert, elizabeth hon. but after just a few kilometers,

the nomads run into trouble. residents of a nearby village won't let them pass. they blocked the route. the nomads usually take with their herds. yes, and the villagers fear the goats in camels will cause damage with him and you but peregrine, sovereign won't back down that i don't was i don't know how the kitchen you know. all right, good, good, i'm good. i'm the only buck that you're better than that. i promise you. i will personally cover any damage via animals with any of them, and feel free to cool over the agricultural office representatives as a witness i know to get. i respect mueller matter should a should it would on every year, or at least 30 of your people come through here with their hurt sooner through their the agricultural office. when i set out another route with rest of it was badly good. now the clock may just, luckily, that's what me were tool a, come on when i started living in the end tensions. com and the

herders are allowed to move on. this time, at least it takes them 6 hours to reach the next stop. they're going to be on the move for 3 weeks this year and cover hundreds of kilometers. then they'll stay at their main camp in the mountains until next fall. i'm abuse your dinner. we've raised dog heads and dog goats to overcome any obstacle as yet. you will know, no one can hold us back, get none to get a job or she does when get a letter will not help them. and so the no mans trek on without knowing how long the turkish government and society will keep allowing them to pass. but perving sovereign is determined in their fight for a future. they have been im, dancer lem. kimberly got another one. it's wonderful. now droughts triggered by global warming, opposing

a growing threat to the people of northern italy. among the worst effected regions is the delta of the river po. normally europe's largest producer of rice, but now salty sea water is increasingly being sucked into fresh water areas, prompting talk of possible water disputes, or even water was no wonder therefore, that georgia, which a lot, tory goes out each and every morning to measure the gravity of the problem, rice farmer, jill jill, chill at all, he is worried. he's come to measure the say line content of the water he uses for his crop. all the farmers in the region, you have the equipment needed to check that salt water isn't spoiling that fields. less valued that don't means the salt levels are too high. we keep an eye on that so we can immediately shut off the inlet if need be. we get the me in this region more and more sea water seeping into the river po. if a rice farmer cannot flood or field with fresh water,

their entire harvest could be in danger. they stopped at alcove one decent. every one is worried about this because of the right shortage is all a supplies run out and it's becoming a problem for the whole supply chain of the land. up in the, daphne in italy, the po, delta should be one of the most fertile regions in europe. usually it has plenty of fresh water, but since november it hasn't rained enough and the po river is running dry. as water pressure decreases, sea water seeps in land, it has already crept about 15 kilometers upstream, forcing farmers to abandon once abundant fields. now there is a plan to raise barriers since that will not help immediately residence in the lower reaches of the po river are demanding that more war to be drained from power, plant reservoirs in south to roll it dilutes on a legible but garrick, italy has

a very clear law is the way when it comes to water use. it says that people come 1st, then agriculture than the rest toiling. but the economic value of water is often so great that this is easier said than done the in the far. but in south to rome, the situation is equally worrying a power plant at the zacalo reservoir and the ocean valley has come to a complete halt. the reservoirs only filter 4 percent capacity. there were 2 thirds less rainfall than usual last winter with not much snow left on the peaks and glaciers that have long vanished there is little snow melt to be expected. when b r a d. so i mean, if we were to continuously deliver the quantity that benito as requested, all the storage facilities and sell to roll and be completely empty within 20 days . and sonic dog completely assigned some people in northern italy already talking about a war for water and the summer hasn't even begun in the po,

delta basins for retaining more fresh water. a currently under construction, if rainfalls cause the river level to rise for a few hours, the basin fills with water. once the level falls again, the gates close to prevent salt, water from seeping in water and the lindsey levels have to be constantly monitored . so, but if you defeat delay sample with, if it's becoming harder and harder close enough with this year, it became extremely difficult lately went out again ugly. if he could do that, i might say, we always have to be prepared or not only to protect the farmers here, the ladder, sort of look like a gold glory. the italian water uses association has calculate that 10000 more. such basins are needed in northern italy to ensure that fields can be irrigated in the future. but georgia would chill at all. he needs a solution. now. the salt content of the water is below critical levels to day.

but he fears that he will have to give up rice farming soon. one would have awesome . okay, and quote, on gamma bang in all the i'm in the i was born and raised here. this is my home mazda. we'll try to stay here of possible hudson. what a possible meant, whether for agriculture, electricity, or drinking water is a precious resource. and increasingly rare where we live in troubled times and for those who yearn for concrete protection of the place to go to is the choke republic where the countries army is slowly selling or thousands of 2nd world war bunkers that were built in a bid to stave off the nancy era, invasion of what was then czechoslovakia. ah, the location is beautiful. the structure is clean and simple. nope, other, some neighbors. there's potential here. the outer walls are stable. interior is

a challenge. this might be away from melancholy to convince interested parties to de the salesman is showing bunker one 07. here. the check german border on behalf of the check defense ministry. people started it, but i wrote it publicly. this bunker was still to protect the republic before mode war 2 as czechoslovakia, feared a german attack him at scam within 2 years from around 1935 to defense lines emerged with bankers along the whole border. and i need see this bunker is going for a minimum of a 1000 euros, including the land, the river at least to interested parties. one of which is the local man loses legit or swinton when she been glaze's, we hope that we can at least get the small bunker nearby looms or be hobby military historians will be interested in this big one. and there are a lot of them around here,

but we would like to use the small one commercially. we'd like to set up a refreshment stand, hulu, so people on our bike path can stop there. are students with a will star level to close to? the defense ministry says that there has been a huge interest in the bunkers. and not only since the ukraine war, there are $9000.00 in total, and the ministry has been selling them off one by one. there seems to be one to suit every taste but get that. got it. so romantic, i was looking after it as a hobby of mine has jo, bobby, bobby, at the gwinnett jackal. but for some, it's a hobby. and a job. richard matches, for instance, decided to convert a bunker into a hotel with that he fulfilled a child who dream lima lake. look at are all little boys like building bunkers. but i continue doing it after i grew up a bill. when i found out 6 or 7 years ago that i could buy real bunkers from the

army. i knew i had to do it. like some of our holla show, some of the ha, in these uncertain times, his guess see that they are glad to have booked their vacation in a bunker. and these have almost everything a hotel has that electron her mother study. we have electricity nibbling of gas heating, cooler like lights on. people can charge their phones and watch their favorite films on the internet in the evening. about the la chablis been a film just internet though. jose, when it comes to location with a melancholy, she has an eat up his sleeve. the fortifications are not quite as a mobile, as they seem you just need the right creed to lift the 50 ton fortresses. and if you don't quite know where to put it yet, says christmas, you can simply take it home till you decide. oh,

believe it or not, i did want to sleep in an igloo, but you would not get me to sleep in one of those things. or we've enjoyed the show as much as i have come by next time around until and bye bye. and just ah, ah ah,
