right, so, and columnist for the atlantic magazine. he says the stakes were and still all frighteningly ho. conflict in 60 minutes on d, w. these places in europe are smashing all the records, stepped into a bold adventure. it's the treasure map for modern globetrotters. discover some of you to record breaking sites on google maps to and now also in book form. ah ah, this is focus on europe. i'm lar, barella, thanks for your company. it was a catastrophe of epic proportions. the flooding that ripped through western germany

last summer. no one saw coming until it was too late. rivers including the r, burst their banks, and destroyed virtually everything in their path. dozens of villages were inundated homes and possessions washed away in an instant. more than a 130 people died along the our river. will the sheer amount of rainfall took residents by surprise? experts say the extreme weather event was caused by climate change and it seems like a combination of the topography and city planning has made the region more vulnerable to rising waters. much of the landscape in the our valley is still a scarred those living and the community of should have a lot of work ahead of them. residents there are yearning for normality as they faced an uncertain future. ah, abandoned, in summer 2021. a village on the river are a gentle stream that turned into

a raging current. landed on. but what do you think? what will this village be rebuilt? in 10 years? everything will be normal then. yes, we hope so. shoulder was one of the municipalities hardest hit by the flooding. last july, heavy rainfall made the river are swell up to 7 meters high destroying cars. holmes and anything else in its path authorities failed to warn locals in time. a fatal mistake. julia hendricks and her 3 children sheltered on a roof until the water finally subsided as a huge, damned hard northern house. there was a house standing here about hud default as i devour, shown in the front,

had collapsed during the flooding. yeah. i know there were still 10 people inside the oven transitional. my load had gone. they survived by the skin of their teeth, the torrent tour a hole into your parents house. but after 8 months of repairs, they were able to move back in. many locals, meanwhile, have been left traumatized by the flood. monopolized august, your water will from day that includes taking a shower. yeah, you hear the water gushing out of the shower head be does muscles does up because of holes. columbus is open. that reminds you of the sound of surgeon water and the feeling of wetness to fuel. last year's r, valley flood, killed at least a 133 people. hundreds went missing, only to be found later, including some of you will be as neighbors does reddish albany, fidel never forget that boy. out the door was forced open by the water masses and a child shouted af. good ma'am. hello ma'am. hello mama, i heard from them and then it was suddenly quiet in the shop. i did not hear from

these people for 3 days till next as in, but then i saw them again and vanilla. okay, there say is nothing bad has happened to that in this mix. casias ah, the aftermath of the flooding, mounds of mud and debris, everywhere that year we visited mohammed abdul hamid in his rented hair salon, trying to salvage what he could she been. i've been here for almost 6 years a year. i lost everything on him. for months he cut his client's hair outside. he finally managed to reopen the salon a few days ago. thank god, but there are still a few things missing. awful. hello. yes, sure. but it took a long time until you could reopen. at 11 months spent the thought through dustin, i am really glad to see the salon back open and as, as we that had a daily routine,

melbourne, and see mike, ryan cleans susie in. yeah, it should be honest. logan, my heart is dancing. i'm dunsen mohammed has been fortunate. many buildings in this region still remain damaged and at risk of collapsing. in some cases, it's unclear who will pay for repairs. few here were insured when disaster struck. government aid hasn't reached every one yet or has proven insufficient. many here are disappointed the expected quicker emergency relief which go on for one of of i think at 1st there were not enough workers. was going to love on top of that. i guess it was the same for you. hello. you had to get an estimate of the damage and she'll get a company to do a firm up thing though smarter than others. be a habit of foreign company. do that, give her. the flyer, wiped out many jobs in the region. mario is a nurse, but his former workplace, a nearby clinic, is still being rebuilt. it's been in court. so my benefits because of the flood. we will have to see how things go. i figured, i hope to,

we'll re open this year with us, but we haven't heard anything yet. although it's little can info's 5 is a built in a tiny housing settlement a little further up the valley. there emergency shelters for 30 local families. they don't afford much space and many here yearn to soon returned to their own homes. wife loved them all. 2 bedrooms and klein was a small one, show a kitchen javon and the living blush. soon mikhail and his family can leave this shelter. after a year of repairs their family home finally is inhabitable, though he does not want to keep living there. i sang as such and i was in the medium or long term. we will leave little lung postage, mishma dal blabbed valesh, misdirect uncle onward. not so much out of fear. so my letter there is an uneasy feeling. festive eating is whenever there's heavy rainfall or

a storm warning. does it that does make you a bit nervous dish and never lose. ah, the river are, has taken and changed lives forever. even a year after the flooding, few things here are back to normal. russia has been at war with ukraine for 4 months now, and one of the kremlin 1st targets during the early days of the invasion was hakim, ukraine's 2nd largest city. well, caves forces managed to defend har keith and pushed back the russians. still, the battle is far from over. as putin's troops continue to shell, the city residents are trapped between normal daily life and a fight for survival. another day of work and hockey's and of the day these garbage collectors aren't sure they'll come back home alive again. it's

dangerous with all the shelling going on. andree yuri and mikhail are making the rounds in the north of the city. when the war broke outs, a wave of destruction hit and shells keep raining down. every day is different. would rule, every man berwin leave. there was a time before the laundry room and now with the arrows. and as you to me with is it's like 2 different lives. one of my nose is you can't even remember normal life anymore. so it feels like there's only been these past 3 or 4 months early school, but i wanted to feel you flying shop. little sometimes barely misses them yet gone . the protective vests death, destruction and tears may be part of day to day life now. but the trio isn't numb to it, rosy, what she hasn't really hits me when we stop at an apartment and i see the diapers

on the balcony, won't cannibal, and the whole building is destroyed. it's tommy and what lies of the rubble they clear way. there could be dangerous explosives, the garbage collectors of the silent heroes of the city. they risked their lives to keep things going, because he must not give up. but with little little trouble, some one has to do this work and who else is going to? hardly. we but our every one decides for themselves. i like to help you up on wired with them. and the not the only helping hands volunteers offered to help destroy departments, more or less livable again, free of charge developed the village. and when the shell start winning down in your hands are shaking the will, we start cutting crookedly. it's really stressful. level somewhere brosnan. today they've been called over by

a retired woman whose windows have been blown out since february sheet originally fled, but now wants to return to hockey with angle. but passing that michelle hit the building next door and killed a boy. it was, my granddaughter was sleeping at my place to exit in on the window that blew out a little. the 72 year old pensioner says it's a real miracle how these young men are repairing her apartments for free now. but they see it as their contribution in war time. yet soggy, still feels guilty. they have on much of a mature, for me, i'm providing humanitarian aid for why, but i keep thinking about my friends fighting in the war zone. it was on the front with him from so her and her there spending these down in the trenches when he was sleeping with machine guns in their arm of some other middle of the metropolis of hark. eve has too surreal. parallel worlds. some parts are peaceful and idyllic, while others are being pummeled by shelling.

hockey shall almost entirely intuition hands when the war began. ah, then in may, the city was liberated with many feel, kootenai won't stop until he's got his hands on this prestigious prize. maria can barely stand the constant fear of death while going about her day to day life. just simplicity, recklessness. i keep telling my son that our guys are sleeping in the trenches on the we can sleep soundly and bad tightens both. maria says our guys because she feels ukrainian and started her family here. but she's russian. and the artist has grown apart from her native country. she says, ukraine has become fear and more of beats, while russia has learned towards authoritarianism. solve and

maria has applied for ukrainian citizenship and burned her wish passport. but asthma. yep. at sheila can champs without showing it was my way of expressing my disapproval and saying i wanted nothing to do with that country any more than that. i no longer see myself as a russian citizens, but i'm a junkers with the war, my keep grinding on for some time. it could take generations to heal the hate. and yet hockey beams with the finds optimism. these people keep toiling away despite the risks, to keep hockey eve alive and strong. well, the effects of the ukraine war are also being felt by fishermen and italy. a spike in energy prices is making the diesel that fuels their boats unaffordable for some

and genoa fishermen rely on a good catch to make ends meet. now some have given up entirely, leaving their vessels moored at the dock. but morrow gambrell is refusing to throw in the towel just yet. he and his colleagues have come up with a clever business model to help keep them afloat during the crisis. ah fishermen morrow camaro sets off from the port of genoa at 7 in the morning as he's done almost every day for the last 20 years. what's new is that he doesn't know the catch will be big enough to cover his costs. with a restaurant i, the fish dishes still cost about the same as before. if you, because you don't want to put the prices up to other but our profit is going to just move and our costs continue to rise again. we're luck. who we've organized ourselves into a big cooperative love to see how things go. $24.00 fishermen have joined together

in the co operative specializing in regional fish and lobsters and each market alongside wholesalers and cheap imported fish. they have laid out 3 kilometers of net, which they haul in by hand meter by meter, which takes hours. but it was i little bit cameron's and we can't use this one in. it's been eaten by c please. problem guy is a jellyfish not protocol. no luck, jeremy almost got a mazda mazda 3. and finally, the coveted lobsters are called. if you net a lot of them, the day was worth it. will you to over fishing and warming sees though this precious catch is dwindling? belmont, a man i see has changed. that's clear. i'm yard. we're finding much more plastic in the nance. unfortunately, robin mandel, to 5 hours. the net is fully holding the results quoted at a go a fair. there are about 7 kilos of lobster to cd

3565700 euro percent. that's all it's worth. and that's rough indian after because city with which and are we spent about $2300.00 euros on edaly. it was what i put a coupon. there's our own provisions. and where on the boat can erica, and the fact of the network was constant, won't be repaired. funky, when lou lou vamp will be, but i did on that. doesn't leave much to live on. they tried to make ends meet with new sales markets. the fishermen run their own restaurant. they also have a stall at the harbor where they sell directly to the customer. mario, the head of the co operative takes care of this. but most of the stand in the small market hall are empty today. for many fishermen, it's no longer worth heading out. st. wasn't an additional passionate about fishing . you can't do the job of thought, but you've got to get something out of it. if we don't get help is there won't be

any of us here in 5 or 6 years so that she was a young woman. the situation is traumatic for all fishermen, since the price of diesel has almost tripled due to the ukraine war. for weeks, fishermen went on strike and blocked ports with the already low profit margins. the business is hardly worthwhile any more no stop government has forgotten unbundled and stupid saying i didn't reach you. that's all he isn't going to get up under that at all. no, he's down. well, we must be given the opportunity to work today with all my price. diesel has to go . dia law. that's what we one boss. not charity gossip. mario was on strike too, but he doesn't believe in government handouts and has taken matters into his own hands. here in the picturesque bay of folk dorothy in genoa, the cooperative runs a restaurant, locals, and tourists loved the old fishing village because it retains much of its original

charm in the restaurant. they only selfish they've caught themselves so far. the idea has been a hit and it could be a lifesaver for the fisherman of boca dorothy bay alarm. we came to boca darcy because we loved the idea of this restaurant. i had the blue fish. it was great with men. oh, it's definitely better to spend money on a regional product a little than spending the same amount or something imported from abroad. ganita says that she's her little moment. look in it on a lead. the next day morrow heads out again. and he hopes to live from fishing for a long time to come. he simply can't imagine doing anything else. it's bloody deadly. and a tradition that's treasured by some bull fighting is still alive and well in spain . the sport was even named a part of the country's cultural heritage in 2013, much to the dismay of animal rights activists. it's a man versus bull,

and it almost always ends with a dying animal in the arena. while there's yet another aspect to bull fighting that has activists up in arms, people with restricted growth performing as clowns and acrobats. the men do it voluntarily, they say, so does that make it okay? oh, the rehearsing one last time before the show. yes, no, roberto torres and his fellow clowns want to make the audience laugh in the bull fighting arena of grenada. that's what's brought the troop together from across spain. most of them are people with restricted height due to a genetic condition. and he bought it again. my father was also shorter and performed in the arena for years and that that, that coin i always watched or, and it won't got me into bull fighting, ma'am, at the animal. i've enjoyed it since i was a kid. oh, as long as i can remember,

i'm just still doing it now. what's the anti etiology? little terreros are often an essential elements of any show in spanish bullfighting . they perform with young bulls like these, but they don't hurt or cove m. o. 2 a troop is on their way to lunch and in the streets, they turn a lot of heads. but 53 year old jose antonio is as willa doesn't mind, he's used to it so i don't know. it's only that either. that's just like we've got a disorder called contra claudia, either to bad malice, what, but what i'm happy with my body on my cell did, but i don't care if i get a few looks, you know it well, i see it. i mean, they won't give you an overview of yellow again. but having little terreros perform in granada or other spanish cities has become a controversial matter to me. by the day when i was little i would go with my parents when i was 6 or 8. i knew and i had a lot of fun, e mega patel mobile garage that we bought. oh yeah. that shouldn't be happening.

any moral building. it doesn't make any sense to put someone in the limelight another body. saw it a make fun of the double. nope. i think, i think authority, the boy a thoughtful the show upsets carleen and quinta, schuster some meter on 37 centimeters tall herself and promotes a quantity for people with restricted growth. she finds these kinds of shows counter productive. she wishes they were prohibited, said he, my son plays on the less of you that didn't come all that isn't way ernie. societies for spanish, it just to have it trampled in a shout out of him, but are to have children making an of shorter classmates in be than by avoiding eye and menial. time for the sound check of the arena and granada for his part. daniel calderon is ever tight. he met the smaller comedians while working as a bullfighter, and now he leads to truth. he doesn't get his critics objections. on the 2nd,

they're gonna persona it, but a faithful michel my the until, who says you need to be a certain high exit out to be a comedian night. everyone can do what they want it. and i know so these guys, unprofessional session i live at the time of a p into so accuracy. i'm gonna throw got of nearby overall bullfighter jacob. not that one i gave on. we're not doing this because someone is forcing elephant elephant, though professional at all. when our to go into the show begins, the bullfighters are getting ready. carlos isn't nervous at all. portuguese native has performed and many shows already and knows what it means to be humiliated. busy yet i will go because i can only thing i didn't like was being thrown through the air. tall men to cousin tossed his around. lee joel was in on that was in thought of. yes, it will be, it was really degree to hello bristol. this was a get of the negative even even that fees in carolina punter has team talk with susanna novel to fight for the rights of people with a condra plaza meal yet any i'm don't know. they say comedic. bullfighting shows

are humiliating. even. that is a 100 myself, a little kathy. sophia, it gets people thinking that those pets to work as them are funny and flat. i think it only got you before. nice. got you. but i think it apparently it's ok to make fun of this disability, but nobody would find it funny if people in wheelchairs were thrown through the air left to go to saturday, said bershana, since he had last seen the wood dashboard was hide it in as it doesn't make it as if the do you really think people are suited to bull fighting? no, they are employed because they're unusual bodies make them strain and shampoo comical it up on that. i'm going to call miss young. goodbye and then it's showtime. the group of comedians have become close friends over time

of you go that it will only with we all have a same stand. sure because oh but nobody is taller or smaller than anyone else is again. yeah, we're like brothers. so that would be helping each other. i love you to put them with what we all have the same were of you, i think you saw as well as you want it. and i'd love to keep doing what they do. but comelena and or the activists have already succeeded in funding such shows and other parts of spain. new val, cuisine, or new cuisine is a french movement that was pioneered by this man, public hughes. he tore up the rural book and modernized fine dining. the cruise was crowned chef of the century and went on to teach many notable shafts before his death in 2018. his legacy lives on a cooking school that bears his name. it's year hundreds of students learn the

techniques of their idol, and leon sparkling clean glasses. napkins perfectly rolled he salinas studying to become a hotel manager. the focus institute is her dream job. forever to get the right aesthetic loan bo plate must be like a finger width from the edge of the table along the act to say the chair and aligned with the glass. meanwhile in the kitchen, the ovens are heating up. students from all over the world come here to learn about what cuisine at the school funded by potable keys to day it's a 5 course menu mohammed from a roku is in his 3rd and final year. the work at the stove is ruling the pressure great. but mohammed loves the challenge, is over there, there is a clear hierarchy that we have to respect to. we know who's boss is or just like an kestrel conductor and with their position only with was it all happens in the kitchen? the bus sets the temp ok solution with an example. in this case,

the bosses florian ponson. now he's on it, are we sure he is responsible for ensuring that the restaurant slash cooking school retains as michelin star is with us. but the students have to become and focused kathy, so that they get all the instructions. it requires a lot of concentration, which itself requires rigor on discipline. the moment of truth, the main course, squall, geeky pigeon in, across the caching us all under the watchful eye of paul lucas. probably closer to the food is excellent. well done. bravo, bravo. so basically when she's in there for french country heritage allows us to shine with world oberholtz's home. and that is just like best our values, rubrics of desert to such a bill, situation high priest for the students as the 2 dream bringing good

cuisine to the world. he's olean, with a hotel in india, mohammed with a restaurant to morocco. and i dream of tasting decorations. well that brings us to the end of this edition of focus on europe. thanks so much for watching bye for now. ah ah. with
