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 ukranian 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 saw an explosion in demand for military grade recognizance drones with the onset of the war in ukraine previously was like, i was happy to sell 10 drawn specimens. and now you, if you're talking about the extra 100 per pay per month and if stuff to feed 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 can cover large areas for reconnaissance and stream their video feeds back to base in

real time. in for red thermal imaging cameras turned night into 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 hill behind that wall assistance on ukraine's battlefields. consumer drones from china have had a starring role in propaganda video circulating on social media that the soldiers have been modifying these drones to drop bombs often to devastating effect. yeah. 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. 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 level, but the landlord when 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. on that side 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 sound and the wetness laska full unity. 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 a newly as neighborhood. that is eltony, so i guess i'll never forget it because this massive was just the door open and my kids yelled out towards my my mom hope mom helped me and then suddenly it was quiet and i didn't see some people for 3 days. and then i saw them and i knew ok, that's safe, nothing happened to them present and wish i didn't. it's mixed up. 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 barber, shop shopping. i've been here 6 years. i've lost everything. you shall for laura for a month. 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 they're not enough. mohammed hair salon is an exception to the food as a stella, 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. my acquaintances in my heart is dancing my hedge fund and it is dunsen. once again, the are is a harmless looking stream. but for many here, the havoc caused

i feel like there should be more trees on the road side, like within other cities abroad that help in cleaning up the air. i feel that there's an issue with our west damping, sweating 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 responding government of you got us. what does we're willing are very, very thankful, but the big ones we have require big funding. and that's why i call upon i development partners jostle communion support, you going to has stick in some states 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 decline just to the city. back to the problem of emissions remains. until this key pollute has,
