oh, come to take, told me about hackers, paralyzed me tighter societies, computers than us were. you and governments that go crazy for your data. we explain how these technologies work, how they can go in for but how they can also go terribly, watch it now. you to 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 in the community of should have a lot of work ahead of them residence there are yearning for normality as they faced an uncertain future. ah, abandoned some summer 2021. a village on the river are a gentle stream,

but turned into a raging current. landed on. but what you think when 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 hired mountain house. there was a house standing here about hud default. aside to washington,

the fright had collapsed during the flooding. yeah, i know there were still 10 people inside the oven, todd, so she shut off by law to tune. they survived by the skin of their teeth. the torrent tore 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 amongst you're water will from get that includes taking a shower. yeah, you hear the water gushing out of the shower head, be dust vessels? does our proposal falls calm? does this 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. leah's neighbors does reddish open. if i gal never forget that boy out the door was forced open by the water masses and a child shouted musket mom. hello ma'am. hello mama heard from them and then it was

suddenly quiet in the shop cry. i did not hear from these people for 3 days mixed his ear, but then i saw them again and we'll new. okay, there say is nothing bad has happened to them in this mix. posse out 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. you. i lost everything order for months he cut his client's hair outside. he finally managed to reopen the salon a few days ago. thank god, but there's still a few things missing the whole airflow. yeah, sure. but it took a long time until you could reopen at 11 months. but the thought through dustin, i am really glad to see the salon back open and as, as we didn't have

a daily routine. melbourne. and seemed like lying in oakland in susanne. oh yeah. that should be honestly logan, my heart is dancing. i'm dunsen. mohammed has been fortunate many buildings in the threes and 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 math for marketing, those mach than others. be a habit of foreign company. do that, give her the flood, 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 willing 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. i was 5, is a tiny housing settlement a little further out. 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 climb was a small launcher, a kitchen noon of worn and the living blush. soon mikhail and his family can leave the 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 this lung postage, mishma dal blabbed valesh, misdirect ensemble to not so much say to fear. so my letter there is an uneasy feeling. festive, even if whenever there's heavy rainfall or a storm warning,

does it that does make you a bit nervous ambition. 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 shall, the city residents are trapped between normal daily life and the 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 revolving leave? there was a claim with all the laundry room and now which i thought the rosin as you to me. but this is 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. so the school that i wanted to of phoebe flying shop, little sometimes barely misses them, yet gone, or the protective vests death. destruction on tears may be part of day to day life now. but the trio isn't numb to it, was you what she has in really hits me when we stop at an apartment and i see

diapers on the balcony on cannibal and the whole building. it's destroyed. it's tommy and what lies of the rubble they clear away. there could be dangerous explosives, the garbage collectors of the silent heroes of the city. they risked their lives to keep things going. because hockey eve must not give up 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 people wired william and the not the only helping hands volunteers offered to help destroy departments, more or less livable again, free of charge developed the limits for when the shell start winning down in your hands are shaking glue, we start cutting crookedly. it's really stressful. level somewhere thrash them

today. they've been called over by retired woman who's windows have been blown out since february. she originally fled, but now wants to return to hockey with tangle papa that michelle hit the building next door and killed a boy in whiskers. oh, my grand daughter 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 wartime, yet saggy still feels guilty. slave unless the mature for me, i'm providing humanitarian aid the for why, but i keep thinking about my friends fighting in the war zone. it was on the front impulse that had it and how they're spending d. he's down in the trenches when he was sleeping with machine guns in their arm of some of them. it will be in the metropolis of hoc eve has to 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, and made the city was liberated. with many feel putin won't stop until he's got his hands on this prestigious prize. maria could barely stand the constant fear of death while going about her day to day life. yeah. and musty, requisition, i keep telling my son that our guys are sleeping in the trenches them the we can sleep soundly and bad. tottenham 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. solving

maria has applied for ukrainian citizenship and burned her wish passport but his jacket she left can champs without a shirt. 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 drunkenness with the war may keep grinding on for some time. it could take generations to heal the hate. and yet hockey beams with the find 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. the spike in energy prices is making the diesel that fuels their boats unaffordable for some

sh. 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 fisherman 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 because you don't want to put the prices up to other, but our profit is going down and our costs continue to rise up yet. 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 as we need them by c please. problem guy is a jellyfish not protocol. no luck, jeremy. alex got an awesome no sta. good. and finally, the coveted lobsters locals. 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, while the mantle to 5 hours, the net is fully halting, the results calling out, i go a fear there are about 7 kilos of lobster to cd 3.

1565700 euro resent. 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, would i put a coupon? there's our own provisions, and we are in the boat get an air filter and the fact of the network was constant won't be repaired. funky when lou lou damp 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, 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. and she will say, i know from this room 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 l. oh, stop government has forgotten unbundled and stupid going out, eating, which that's all he's i'm going to get a bundle of that at all. no is della, but we must be given the opportunity to work today with all my price. diesel has to go dial law. that's what we want. boston, i'm 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 book 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 sell fish. 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 because 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 to 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. you 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. well, 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 ok? oh, the rehearsing one last time before the show. yeah. no roberto torres and his fellow clowns wants 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 any by and again, my father was also shorter and performed in the arena for years and that, that, that glowing, 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. now as long as i can remember me and i'm just still doing it now. what's the

n t i e e n i. e e e e e t la gay. littel terreros are often an essential elements of any show in spanish bull fighting. they perform with young bulls like these, but they don't hurt or cov m. o. the 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, which i don't know, it's only the visa, that's just like, oh, we couldn't disorder called a condra classier, the the to bad law as well. but what i'm happy with my body on myself a little bit, but i don't care if i get a few looks yo, it will. i see it. i remember that i was going over the yellow again. but having little terreros perform and granada or other spanish cities has become a controversial matter. either call me by the day when i was little, i would go with my parent yet when i was 6 or 8, i knew, and i had a lot of fun. e megabyte our movie a little bit that we bought. oh yeah,

that shouldn't be happening. any more civil dealing. it doesn't make any sense to put someone in the limelight upon your body side and make fun of the double. nope. i think i think authority, the very thoughtful the show upsets carleen and pointer schusters the 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 was in place, not even less of you that didn't come all, it isn't way earning societies respected just to have it trampled in a shout out of them, but are to have children making by an of shorter classmates in bitten by a building i i, neil, it's time for the soundcheck of the rena 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,

either one of us or not, but a faithful michael may the and they'll who says, you need to be a certain high actually what ought to be a comedian ny every one. can you what they want? and i know so these guys, unprofessional session i live a called the type of a p into so accuracy, they wanna throw, got a nearby over a bullfighter jacket. nothing i give on, we're not doing this because someone is forcing elephant elephant, but we're 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 yet i would go cuz the only thing i didn't like was being thrown through the air, tall men, 2 cars and tosses around. really joel was in on that was in taught of yes it, i believe it was really degree to help with school. it was a get of the negative either even that feeling carolina quanta has teamed up with susanna novel to fight for the rights of people with a condra plaza meal. yet any i'm gonna,

they say comedic bullfighting shows are humiliating. even that middle part of my job is to look at their sophia, it gets people thinking that those pets to work as them are funny and flat. i think it only got you before. nice guy, but i think it apparently it's ok to make fun of this disability, but nobody would find it funny if people in wheelchairs for thrown through the air left. i thought of somebody said that a shot since he had last seen the what the us border was hide it in as it doesn't make it as if you do, you really think people are suitable 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 me thanks 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 the same stature. he goes over it, but nobody is toler or smaller than any one else is good. yeah, we're like brothers. so that would be helping each other. i love you to present, but we all have the same were of you. i mean, if you saw until she was and i'd love to keep doing what they do. but comelena and or the activists have already succeeded in putting such shows in 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

case the bosses florian ponson. now he's on it, i'm sure he is responsible for ensuring that the restaurant slash cooking school retains as michelin star devices. but the students have to be calm and focused cafe, so that they get all the instructions. it requires a lot of concentration, which itself requires rigor and discipline. the moment of truth, the main course, squall, icky pigeon, and across the caching us all under the watchful eye of paul lucas, probably closer to the polluted. 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
