struggling to fend of russia's offensive as their enemy seizes more 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 russian 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. importance war cap on is a young south american who feels compelled to fight for ukraine. this despite having never set foot in the country, while the reality of war soon sets in for cap on who knows that a return trip home is not guaranteed. the. there's been a lot of bombing left, right,

and above, everywhere. i know i'm going there for a good reason and if i don't see my family, my friends and the people i love here on this earth again, i have faith that i will meet them after death on that island in ukraine. it's not just ukrainians who are fighting thousands of people from abroad have joined battle. who are day and why are they doing it the if i'm needed to help my comrades at the front line, i'll go there. if i'm needed to take care of civilians, i'll do that. whatever job the legion gives me, i'll do it with someone in. busy that office going to own an advocate with

a certain targeted cap on, as he called himself from latin america 10 years for security reasons. we don't close his exact location. he's preparing to leave his home cup on tells me he works as a paramedic who seems to have plenty of friends over all his life seems pretty normal to me in our 1st online encounter upon doesn't reveal his identity yet. he wants to join the army as a combat medic. among the some of the uh, i saw these terrible images of how they attacked civilian zones with missiles, people dying in their apartments and attacks against humanitarian corridors. i saw so many terrible images of suffering civilians including children and it broke my heart to see them. and as a paramedic, i have the skills to help them. i know i have something to offer was a good a year and i was gonna disconnect it. i yeah,

to 19 year old tells me he still 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, did sandra from norway has already joined the ukrainian army? they refer me to her to life. she depicts on social media. it's not for the faint of heart 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 is 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 with weapons. she tells me she has no qualms about using her gun, but it's what it says job is what you have to do. so it's the one who fires 1st. that's how it goes. we're not the attackers. we other defenders. we are not the one trusting any borders dated cap on flight to crack. how in poland, close to ukrainian border temperatures in eastern europe just have stepped to near freezing a climate that upon has never experienced before. i joined him for the next leg of his journey. the 1st up in

a military shop. he still needs a bullet professor since he isn't sure whether the army provides one. you have well, the armor? no. i know there is a body armor. you have 55 pond 11. 0 no, no. he decides to go without 40 today or maybe. but isn't that suicide missions? 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 it, 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

de la kilo hello, kayla. you. oh da 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 columbia who goes by title them at online in a group of spanish speaking volunteers. they also test an 1847, which is used in ukraine. the training at a shooting range is intended for civilians and it's 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, but 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 founded just days after the war started. love come here to fight, fight the roches that fed democracy and freedom according to the late and they are paid to equivalent of ukrainian soldiers of their rank trade have communications, trade re of tactical trade a contract. last, until the voice over, you de spokesperson tells me that people who want to join have to pass several tests in ukraine. 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 your dog? he was dumb as can potter. well, i think it's very difficult for anyone to prove anything and this war. what i can say is that we can give old 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 at the 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. it's not a company, it's not a commercial a t t which is sending both fight fair. there is quite a difference. and as long as they are integrated into the forces of the host country,

if they are not larry with i chunk upon it and talk to on their way to the border, the internationally to officially only accept people with life combat experiences. but they give it a try anyway, who's time for the last voice messages on the book when, when i got here, i want you to know that everything's okay. i love you. i'll send you a message when i can this, but i might say after death, i think god will judge us for what we did in life, whether it was good or bad and follow and look at him again. 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 violence did with the man who next for them is from ukraine. family. 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? for the peace in the world. and people are great because we cannot stop this for

ourselves. we need some help 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 difference for some of them. but are you on the come you 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 at the 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 used to anything including bombing, when do you think you'd be back home? i will be back when this was over when there's no more need for me here. then he cut 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 delete 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 that's been done and have you thought about leaving, she is getting a lot of 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 us out. you have your few of desemore 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. with the 10 days later i received news again to situation has become too intent upon

decided to leave the international legion he now 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 alto lenders, though reservoir, 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 have laid bare all that remains from his childhood village. normally park of

year longer would now be getting wet feet. this was once a vast reservoir but has been drawing out. and now his old village, when submerged has re emerged. a 3rd at a barclay. that was my grandmother's house. yet i spent my childhood here in the area with my parents, my cousins uncles and aunts him, but he, him, this was our house. it through and everything like that and worth this was the spanish village of us at 8 or 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. if there been them. yeah, boy let go. no quicker. inputted that to get those are good. i mom, i remember my grandmother and a girl coming here to fetch water a little eat out the girl splash water on her for fun. and she did the same. they

kept going until both were soaking wet though yet they're booked up well summer so doesn't matter. like i said, come, we'll give you a bulky m baron on import them. i'm heresy. it still 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 in the region used to do. but now climate change is having a strong impact, roving climate change is to blame with, and that means we are typically our shadow man. we humans costless. and we just keep going as before. auto 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 martinez remembers 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 causes me to beginning they were compensated, delineated jelly. they received a lot of money, even for shanties and chicken caves. i wanted to find out, allowed them to build big houses afterwards. salish home with the hate of cathedrals, paco's parents used the money to build a new home higher up. to day papa lived there alone. all that survived of his old village are a few momentos photos and his 50 year old home videos getting on the water heater. i read you loud. mm. they were rimming funky. will anybody give me back my child to tell me? now, rooney on the path, she hung out her own, not over them, the fruit trees we still from it could pick it on. these memories of childhood foolishness are etched on my memory. forget if you take them away. what does that

make me? nobody thought about those things. it's al cortes nor have i already the reappearance of oceleto has had a big effect in the community. well, you have your silver runs a bar and restaurant in low bias for you. he says the driver, breadth of our is a real attraction of the 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 who once lived in the village. olivia now like what is being great for business with them and still is the letter was when about another. well we brazil. well, you see his young research crown and made a special detour to see what's left or the reservoir. the danish tourist is both fascinated and shocked by the sight. i never really took it into consideration or try the way they 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 not even like 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, as drought before. they're pretty much your story and lost our history and our roots experiences the notice i don't have a sierra, this is where i would have been better not to be compensated. you know, you could have stayed working and the village would have been full of life like before. you dance 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, geno 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 right wing extremism in verona, an inch city that's littered with racist graffiti. o verona, the picture, perfect city. renee suns, palaces, the arena, and juliet's balcony from william shakespeare's play. the cities romans appeals to tourists. but this is wassa, verona swastikas sprayed on to walls, fascist tags, and messages of height everywhere else swastikas got painted over immediately, but not in verona. some of them here, palos be nazi,

decided to take on the job himself. he's also known by his professional name cheapo . chris really wants to kill was sprayed on to this picture of mine. so im going to turn it into a pumpkin muffin. a trick that's become his signature, cheapo turns racist graffiti into pictures of italian specialities. dr. k fascist no, i'm the one doing this until i'd already painted over fascist symbols here 2nd. but they came back to say this is their territory on site. so that's what i'm doing is technically illegal. anger last. so in theory, i risk years of prison each time i do it, we got into here, 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. see, my doctor covered them with pumpkin muffins. in muffin yessenia luca,

he posts videos of his work on instagram. oh. with nearly 400000 followers, he's become famous around the world. ah, to teach mural, he pains at some, at greater risk of being targeted himself. i, 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 muslim is any doorway. this hasn't deterred the artist from his mission. even if the police have failed to arrest his attackers. okay, isn't that i didn't want to get fight?

so why are all the threats i receive ignored? totally mean, that's a question. i've often asked myself. every citizen ought to say no to these messages of hate anything to me, i'm nothing special. i guess everyone should take a stance because it's outrageous that i'm painting over the swastikas instead of the municipal government. a warning bardack and saliva. wilson sees is a game of cat, a mouse between cheapo and the neo fascist taggers. political marcelina, lower council medical model, tend to fight them with their weapons. so you have to use your own and confronting them with the power of beauty. disorient tamara, because that's one area where they always lose around the same for chivas as swastikas. a common here for a reason, even after miscellany, verona remained the stronghold of the neo fascist for right. or an al malik wise. yeah. cars at the law 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 that's why this culture of hate found fertile soil here book was de la copa moral pain 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. ah, she moves passion for food, extends to the kitchen. his pictures of pastor pizza and other specialities have won him lots of fans. and the day in the event that the only many people have approached me to tell me they only realized the extent of the problem. after seeing my graffiti as wasik, they were so used to seeing swastikas and hate speech and battle for she is a fascist, feels ridiculed to be covered over with cheese suck in, nor lapointe. it shows them that they're not being taken seriously or seen as

dangerous. your neck on that they're not being respected. who are you monkey? the respect she bull street is to one day have no more work, because then bruno would have no more symbols of hey well here's hoping that she will can retire very soon. that's all from this we get focus on europe. thanks for watching i for now with ah, with
