and he took the checkered flag just as he had last year. elsewhere there was a rare moment of joy in a per season for mercedes. as george russell joined british compatriot and teammate louis hamilton on the podium. but the day belonged to pushed up and whose 7th, when the season gives him a healthy lead over the chasing pack ahead of next weekend's race in hungary. that's it for now. up next world stories for the look at the booming market, the latvian built drives, i believe, for that is coming up after a short break, monique coming up, 45 years. ah then does the bob say the 20, her women in asia season to this week? ah

ah ah, this week on world stories, germany a year after the flood. uganda battling air pollution. but

we begin in latvia, where a drone manufacturer is seeing a spike in demand because of the ukraine war. many of the companies employees are from ukraine. a few weeks ago these ukrainian refugees did not know which way to turn a screwdriver. now they're building drones for the ukrainian army. atlas aerospace, the latvian company, they now work for san explosion and demand for military grade recognizance drones with the onset of the war in ukraine. previously was like, i was happy to sell 10 drawn spell mice and now you, if you're talking about extra 100 pip amounts and of stuff to think him if it's not enough and we need to sell to think how we're going to sell more atlas builds drones that are small enough to be carried by one soldier. they are highly sought after by ukrainian special forces. units equipped with these drones could cover large areas for reconnaissance and stream their video feeds back to base in real

time. in for read thermal imaging cameras turned night in to day. atlas says tools like this help safe soldiers lives and the ukrainians are buying so far more than 100. drones have already been delivered. the batter club has become a bit more transparent, maybe and you have soldiers that are just more independent can act independently because they already have all the data and what's happening over the next shell are behind bad wall assistance on ukraine's battlefields. consumer drones from china have had a starring role and propaganda video circulating on social media that the soldiers have been modifying these drones to drop bombs often to devastating effect. yeah, but you won't be stuck in there, but experts say using chinese may drones is potentially dangerous. this video

allegedly shows an artillery strike honing in on a ukrainian drone operator. ah, it's been claim that d j i, the chinese firm producing these drones is passing on gio tracking information to the russian military. something the company denies. back in latvia, atlas aerospace is hiring more ukrainians to increase production. they are keen to help them with the plan. we're making trends for the ukranian army. with the help of d strains, we shall win the war. that war is a money maker for some. all of these green bags will be going to ukraine, and they won't be the last, on average, these drones only last for 48 hours in combat. and so the flow of equipment will continue a year after the flood

catastrophe in the art valley. much of the major damage has been repaired, but for the people affected by the deluge. the emotional scars will take longer to heal one year after scenes of abandonment. this used to be a tranquil village street with half timbered houses and gardens on the banks of the ar. the apparently harmless stream that became a raging torrent. taking cars, houses everything with it, and leaving lasting marks on the people. here. i'm outside announced father, are you afraid of walter? even of taking a shower on her j. o. you hear the sound of the water coming out of the shower head and it remind you of that rushing sand and the wetness. business laska full jojo,

hanrick's childhood home, survived the flood, but an outside wall almost collapsed. after 8 months of work, the family was able to move back in. at least 134 people died when the r flooded. hundreds are still missing, including in you the as neighbourhood that reddish alton, if i guess i'll never forget it. oh, good paul. this massive water just popped the door open and my kid yell diatra my, my mom help mom help life. and then suddenly it was quiet and i didn't see some people for 3 days. and then i saw them and i knew okay, they're safe. nothing happened to them present invisia. hi, dennis nicks, pa, theat. these are images from the days after the flood mud and debris piled up meters high. back then we visited mohammed abdul hamid who was trying to salvage what he could from his rented barbershop

shopping. i've been here 6 years. i've lost everything in shambles for laura, for months he gave haircuts outside. now finally, his salon is open again. but hardly any work has been done on many houses. some are in danger of collapsing. sometimes it's unclear who's responsible for paying to fix them up. not many people had insurance, state aid payments have not arrived yet, or there not enough. mohammed's hair salon is an exception. think that i'll who does the still and i'm really happy that the shops up and running again that every day life is back that i get to see my customers. we don't mind acquaintances in a. yeah, my heart is dancing. mine has fallen in in his, i'm tungsten, once again the are is a harmless looking stream. but for many here,

the havoc caused a year ago is far from over. ah, air pollution is the 2nd biggest killer in africa after 8th. a young climate activist is taking matters into her own hands and forcing the authorities to do more to improve air quality. you can them claim it activist. he would. and natalia is concerned about the air quality. in her city. they smoke from banning waste traffic. fumes and industrial emissions have made comp, hello, one of africa's most polluted cities. less air here, feel very unclean, very polluted. it filled shocking delays of a sudden change in smell let's you can feel it doesn't feel healthy at all.

natalia runs, you get a group of the climate change movement fridays for future. she is known for speaking up for the environment, but now she is taking action makeover. you wants to solice city authorities, she accuses them of failing to come, but air pollution. hospitals are seeing an increase in illnesses linked to breathing bad air, such as lung cancer and asthma. and we have done studies a credit when you get a 100, a 1000 as magic's ok. and for them, for one year, what recall i told on passing the us $27.00 of them with dana. yeah. macabre. you, once the city authorities to do more to talk with a problem where they have the power to regulate the amount of cars that are coming in and out of the city that are contributing so much to the air pollution. i feel

like there should be more trees on the road side, legacy in other cities abroad that help in cleaning up the air. i feel that there's an issue with our west damping sorting and collection, and that needs to be checked. but the authorities see that they don't have the money to clean up the cities here. one of the biggest problems companies lacking is funding coming to you got us. what is us we're willing are very, very thankful. but the big ones we have require big funding. and that's what i call upon i development partners. joso communion, support you going to has taken some steps to help reduce the pollution. it has been the input of older, less environmentally friendly cars, and authorities planned to expand a public transport to help de couldn't just the city back to the problem of emissions remains. until this key polish has are effectively addressed. makalya

or maybe they build their life. yeah. ah, silas, dennis tech, an echo, had to flee the war in the east himself. he says he's just doing what he knows best . right now i can do this. i don't know what i do, you know and make some people happy. barbara golub at him and then co says the volunteers are kind of battalion fighting and what he calls the beauty front. but their work is often anything but skin deep to speak for them to understand, understand a male mode and feelings to try to understand feelings. and it's like art therapy, i think. and some of the people here say the treatments, give them more than inner piece. they can spark hope. a show crashing is will it have smith, c, butch, and better future?

this was the one the for city, a beautiful european country. when what we cannot be slaves with. we want to be free to live in dignity, to earn money, to raise children, to rebuild our town. we will have better times with founder or houses. the volunteers have to be strong. the here many, many painful stories, right? we have her know may be choice to me, to cry or to show our feelings. no, no, we're here to help. that's why we want to be strong. we was, we must be happy smile. the beauty volunteers are hoping to expand, raise more money, visit more towns and cities. and as the war grants on that there's every chance they'll be able to continue work, which they call the way of serving their country. ah,
