territory in the east. after weeks of fierce fighting putin's troops have advanced deeper into the don bass, ukrainian authorities there are urging hundreds of thousands of residents to evacuate. and russia president has made clear his goal of capturing the entire region. ukraine is outmanned and outgunned, its troops aren't giving up. that's because they're being joined on the battlefield by fighters from far beyond their borders. international volunteers with varying degrees of experience, are signing up to give you a military advantage in prudence. war cap on is a young south american who feels compelled to fight for ukraine. this despite having never set foot in the country. well, the reality of war soon sets in for cap on who knows that a return trip home is not guaranteed. ah, it's been a lot of bombing left, right,

lives with his parents. he says his father even offer to money to stay, but a few days later, it's time to leave his friends, throw a farewell party. ah, good sandra from norway has already joined the ukrainian army. they refer me to half the life she depicts on social media is not for the faint of hot with she used to be a fisher then served as a representative for her ethnic group to sammy people. to tells me that after that she trained as a combat medic. now she says she's on the front lines or

1st of all, at the moral obligation. this is home based in europe. we owe them. oh, if you can help dish it on her social media account poses was weapons. she tells me she has no qualms about using her gun. but if it's a job it was you have to do. so is the one who fires 1st. that's how it goes. we're not the attackers, we other defenders. we are not the one trusting in the borders dated june cap on flight to cracow and poland close to the ukrainian border temperatures in eastern europe just have stepped to near freezing a climate the upon has never experienced before. i joined him for the next leg of his journey. the 1st up

a military shopping. he still needs a bullet professor since he isn't sure whether the army provides one. you have. well, the armor? no, but i know there is a body armor. you know, 55 pont, 11 modal he decides to go without 40 today or maybe. but isn't that suicide mission? i don't think of it. it would be good to have one but even with a vest the bullets come through. so the only thing i can do is hope to come back in one piece of assigning is, but they're going to call me by chance upon meets another man who also wants to join the battle. to me, he makes a dubious impression hello. phillip,

the la kilo, i look a little earlier to man doesn't want to be filmed, but claims he fought in iraq and afghanistan, working for a private military contractor upon has no combat experience. so he decides to train on a shooting range. he's now joined by a man from colombia who goes by title dimmitt on line in a group of spanish speaking volunteers. they also test an acre $47.00, which is used in ukraine. the training at a shooting range is intended for civilians and is supposed to be just for fun. it's just a 2nd time that coupon has ever held a gun. it tells me oh,

after half an hour he's done. the leopard, but it doesn't prepare me for war as such, but at least i know how to handle a weapon correctly, that i might use in ukraine. oriental gunner, for people like upon the international legion, is their main port of coal in ukraine, on instagram, at advertises itself as an adventurous, heroic group of comm rights. it was found it just days after the war started to love. come here to fight, fight the roches, defend democracy and freedom according to the late, and they are paid to equivalent of ukrainian soldiers of their rank trade of communications, trade re of tactical trade a contract. last, until the voice over to spokesperson tells me that people who want to join have to pass several tests in ukraine when as a rule, there is send to some of the hot spots on the front line and taking

care in some very that's a delicate offensive and defensive operation, you, can you prove that you don't use them as cannon fodder? well, i think it's very difficult for anyone to prove anything. and this war, what i can say is that we can give all public gen private assurances that no one in the army is interested in sending people to the problems. we're not ready . the russian government sees the international fight as mercenaries which could result in worse treatment if they are captured abroad. re i ask an expert for his take on it. they are not married. it's not a company. it's not a commercial a t t which says sending gold fight affair. there is quite a difference. and as long as they are integrated into the forces of the host country, if they are not mercenary with

i turned upon and talked, or on their way to the board to internationally, to officially only accept people with live combat experiences. but they give it a try anyway, who's time for the last voice messages, or any of them, you know, my book when we got here, i want you to know that everything's okay. i love you. i'll send you a message when i can this further i might say, after death, i think god will judge us for what we did in life, whether it was good or bad. and what model looking was in, i mean my family, my faith gives me hope and it keeps me safe. i know that i'm going there for

a good reason. and if i don't see my family and my friends and the people i love here on this earth again, and i hope i will meet them after death on wednesday. the news, the man who next for them is from ukraine. they're still in ukraine. he's going to the border to get his mother and bring her to safety. his brother and cousin are at the front. he tells me. so what does he think of the foreign fighters? good, jo. peace in the world. and peace and agree. because we can stop before our cell,

meaning to fell from most people are going the opposite direction. does he really think he can change anything? no, sorry, i'm not rambo. nothing special, but each grain of sand help. and if i just saved a live of a few fighters or people who need me, i'll have made a different one of them. but are you on the come, you know, they want to join deletes and the next day on my journey with them and here. but they promised to stay in touch with sandra, who's been up front for quite some time, is still there and determined to stay. the human brain is, is wired to just get used to whatever situation you have to get used to.

and i know that sounds weird, but you can get you to anything including bombing, when do you think you'd be back home? i will be back when this was over when there is no more need for me here. then i will go come on. seems to have a bit of a roller coaster ride. the international legion at 1st rejects him and several others. but 10 days later he tells me, deletes and suddenly did accept him. he writes, i'm happy and sent me a picture of the body armor he was given. besides, paramedic tasks tells me he is not also receiving regular combat training to be able to defend himself. in a few days, he could be sent to the front. we agreed and for security reasons,

this will be our last interview was done and they will train me for combat with real ammunition everything as if i was a real fighter that's been on the on and have you thought about leaving. she is getting a lot of work on those. whichever you do. think about it. when you hear detonations, when you're close to exploding grenades when you hear sirens and are in the cold for hours wearing just a sweater for you. so you do start to think you're not going to experience yet, get the and if you have your few of the more changes and i gotta say yes, i realize it's even worse than what you see on the news. everything is worse because your the main target that i get it's quite ugly. ready 10 days later i received news again to situation has become too intent upon

decided to leave the international legion he now if in safety i parts of southern europe are being scorched as extreme heat waves take hort, temperatures are soaring to record levels, sparking forest fires and drying out rivers, parts of italy have started limiting water use as the landscape turns to dust. it's a similar scene in spain at the outdoor mendoza. reza war on the border with portugal. water levels there have dipped below 15 percent of capacity that has turned the reservoir into a tourist attraction. but for local pack all the a longer it's a painful site. there were stealing waters had laid bare all that remains from his childhood village. normally pock of year longer would now be getting wet feet. this was once a vast reservoir,

but its been drying out. and now his old village, when submerged, has re emerged a 3rd abbey. but to be that that was my grandmother's house, yet i spent my childhood here in the road with my parents. my cousins, uncles and aunts him, but him, this was our house. it stood everything. bill that i got and worth this was the spanish village of us at either located near the portuguese border along with the entire valley. it was flooded when the alt allan docile reservoir was created. for 30 years, the village had been submerged. the old fountain is still running. it's vivian lamb . yeah, boy let go. no, no figure. inputted that to get those back yet. am i remember my grandmother and a girl coming here to fetch water? a little me down, the girl splash water on her for fun. and she did the same one for they kept going

until both were soaking wet. go yet their bucket last summer, so damn a matter import gabby 2nd will give you a bulky m baron on an important i'm heritage it's due pains the 71 year old that he had to leave his village. but he's also concerned by how much water levels have fallen if after night i was always a loss of water. and the reason you still do that now climate change is having a strong impact. roving climate change is to blame with. and that means we are to play our children. we humans, costless. and we just keep going as before. all to linda, so damn, was completed in 1992 at the time it was deemed a great feat of engineering, portugal built at right by the border. it's still one of the country's largest hydro power plants eat in a. so martin, you remember when the dam was built,

she's from portugal and understands the feelings of her spanish neighbors who had their properties flooded. but she says they have no reason to complain. but that of one who caused this one to beginning, they were compensated, willing, aided delete. they received a lot of money, even for shanties and chicken cape long. the rhine allowed them to build big houses afterwards. rather lewis homer. the native cathedrals, paco's parents used the money to build a new home higher up to day pucker lives there alone. all that survived of his old village are a few momentos photos and his 50 year old home videos i'm getting on the water heater. i mean, they were rimming fancy. will anybody give me back my child to tell me no rooney of the path she hung out her own? not a lot of in the fruit trees we still from it's good to get on. these memories of childhood foolishness are etched on my memory for you. if you take them away. what does that

make me? nobody thought about those things. it's al corta nor have i already. the reappearance of oceleto has had a big effect in the community. javier sylva runs a bar and restaurant and lobos for you. he says the dried a breadth of our is a real attraction. love to lady other than them or rather get it pulled up. we in the restaurant industry can't complain that i'm sure it brings back memories for the people i once lived in the village. olivia now like what has been great for business with them and still is the letter was when about on the thought of. well, we brazil, well, you see his young research the town and made a special detour to see what's left of the reservoir. the danish tourist is both fascinated and shocked by the sight. i never really took it into consideration hello dry. the weather can be, especially because even in france and spin,

i've noticed a lot of areas where they don't want any form of fire like an overnight going through a cigarette, but out or nothing. because i guess everything will catch fire cause it's so dry. the dry conditions mean fires like this one are common as is drought before they're pretty much you story and lost our history in our roots experiences. the notice that the sierra this is what i would have been better not to be compensated. you know, you could have stayed, and the village would have been full of life like before. he danced the reservoir, whatever. again, some mergers view it for such a long time. he plans to keep coming here. searching for traces of the past. now to italy, where a street artist is helping to make life more palatable for residence and visitors, chima is the italian word for food, and it's also the artist's name. she bo is known for his culinary delicacies,

which can be seen on public spaces in his home town of verona. on the surface, what may only look like, a muffin or a slice of pizza has a deeper meaning. she beau is using his art to combat a right wing extremism in verona, an inch city that's littered with racist graffiti. o verona, a picture, perfect city. renaissance palaces, the arena, and juliet's balcony from william shakespeare's play. the cities romans appeals to tourists. but this is also verona, swastikas sprayed on to walls, fascist tags, and messages of height everywhere else swastikas got painted over immediately, but not in verona. within pierre apollo's be nazi decided to take on the job

himself. he's also known by his professional name cheapo, which really wants to he was sprayed on to this picture of mine. saw him going to turn it into a pumpkin muffin. a trick that's become his signature. shibel turns racist graffiti into pictures of italian speciality. sister k fascist. no. i'm the one doing this since i'd already painted over fascist symbols here a but they came back to say this is their territory on site. so what i'm doing is technically illegal angle as so in theory, i risk years of prison each time i do it legally, delia. but it's never come to that. in fact, he says most police officers seem to approve of his work and passes by also seem to support t bozer rattle that they graffiti the same. i don't covered them with pumpkin muffins in mapping. yes,

they did. luca. he posts videos of his work on instagram. oh, with nearly 400000 followers, he's become famous around the world. ah, pets each merely pains some at great risk of being targeted himself. oh yeah. these guys showed up in front of my house several times. once they put a firework under my car, but luckily there wasn't much damage and they also went to my parents house and threatened to meet with him is any doorway. this hasn't deterred the artist from his mission. even if the police have failed to arrest his attackers, i came to lead and once i get fired, so why are all the threats i receive ignored?

totally mean, that's the question i've often asked myself. every citizen ought to say no to these messages of hate anything for me, i'm nothing special. i guess everyone should take a stance. it's outrageous that i'm painting over the swastikas instead of the municipal government won't. busy bother and saliva. what ensues is a game of cat, a mouse between cbo and the neo fascist taggers, political bottling, the lower council medical model can to fight them with their weapons. so you have to use your own and confronting them with the power of beauty. disorient them because that's one area where they always lose around the same for chivas as swastikas, a common here for a reason. even off the miscellany, verona remained a stronghold of the neo fascist for right, or an alma. likewise the ac hours at the lower in year it's normal to own mussolini . boost to pass down from your grandfather or people laugh at racist jokes or joke

about uncle hitler and those things aren't funny. but here in verona, people joke about them but, but, but that's why this culture of hate found fertile soil. here book was the lock up of moral paint book. cheaper has a notebook where he keeps a record of the swastikas night filled tags. and of his paintings, he keeps record of his murals on a map. i. many people have approached me to tell me they only realized the extent of the problem. after seeing my graffiti as vast, they were so used to seeing swastikas and hate speech and battle for she fascist, feels ridiculed to be covered over with cheese such in nor lapointe is it shows them that they're not being taken seriously or seen as dangerous your neck on that they're not being respected to you monkey the respect she bull street is to one day have no more work, because then bruno would have no more symbols of hate. well,

here's hoping that she will can retire very soon. that's all from as this we get focus on europe. thanks for watching. bye for now. ah, with
