1:37 pm
the majority of georgians also want to join europe. the european union and as soon as possible, like ukraine, their country is a neighbor of russia conflict as brewing over the russian back break away regents of south america. it up cause yell at many ga, are worried about being pu tins. next target. young activist. now young, big wood, johnson is doing everything she can to clear george's path into the you. but it's a rock you out. ah, yes to urine. tens of thousands of georgians marched through the capital of tbilisi . after the e, you declined to give their country candidate status. they think it's their government's fault, and they're demanding. the administration stepped down. marianna gig, chatty, is in the midst of it all. she sees europe is more than being geographically close to the west to her europe is the future and she's made it her life's mission to
1:38 pm
fight for it. i think that georgia deserves to be a proud member off you up in union, but i know that there are a lot of problems today, and that's why i'm also doing my best and just leaving for these changes. ah, marian cake, who chatty says, one of the problems is george's neighbor, russia. she took us to an area where the issue was quite apparent at the border with a partially recognized separatist republic of south or city. most of the international community views the territory in the caucasus mountains, as part of georgia. it proclaimed independence 30 years ago, but heavily relies on russian aid russian money control south of santia. the russian military is stationed there. and after russia's attack on ukraine, georgians fear they may be next

with it took 2 and a half hours to reach the destination. the village of continuity lies right on the border with south of santia. and the people complain the border here change is constantly. they say russian soldiers keep occupying new parts of georgia and the border even runs straight through the fields of some farms. i don't mess up, did i do? so i'm scared of the russians. the russian army is just 5 kilometers from us, have audited. and even though no russian soldiers have come to my village, yet from it, we all live in constant fear, which is what i should owe me of her, especially after the russians invaded ukraine. margaret opened the central government in tbilisi is also afraid of conflict with russia and
1:40 pm

1:41 pm
everyone can notice that it is so similar to russia proper than many people here think russian president putin will not stop with ukraine. they fear he may target georgia because it was once part of the soviet union. and putin may be trying to restore rushes, former glory, the only country that's been a hindering georgia development, destroying georgia culture destroying georgia and tradition, george and religion, the only countries russia, mario and her cohort say that's exactly why the you should have sent a message to russia and granted georgia candidate status. they were deeply disappointed by the decision from brussels. it was one of the said his days of my life. i remember me because i realized that i'm still an optimist inside and probably at one but like a tiny part of me still hold it for something lake amazing to happen. i don't know

1:43 pm
employment and the mafia. but it's here that natalie's energy revolution began thought paranoia thought it was good to start from dinner because we want a social affair energy transition that wants to be do that we must fight climate change and social injustice together when he gets back on in fear and that's what we've done here for shall acquainted a lot that it is who i yon sat italy's 1st energy community was created on the roof of this building. 166 solar panels produce electricity for 40 families. energy has become part of a social project here. the former or frontage of the familiar d. maria foundation is a drop in center for families. a place where children can go to save them from exploitation by the camera, with our risks involved. 3 out of the home, up on this whole comes from a bullet fired in front of the entrance of the foundation. yet hit this wall with
1:44 pm
all a blatant sine of organized crime. one of the big problems here than the english that they want to show that places like this are not wanted anything because we educate the children to respect the laws. i know about timing and our weapons are books, more musical instruments, and even solar panels one than me for the whole attack. gennaro is 11 years old. he comes to the foundation every day, and it's made him an environmental activist. children play an important role. they're the ones who persuaded the parents to participate in the energy project. crash her claim on. we installed more solar panels here by and over there now. and also on this side share with key. it makes me happy thought, because at least we're doing something for the climate. cham. i told my momma that it's good for the environment in death. and you also save money. i guess old pasquale cheery low has been working for the foundation for 20 years. but for him,
1:45 pm
it's about much more than alternative energy because you're cutting that out. i got seductive man. we try to give these kids a chance that at that we tell them that, okay, this is a difficult neighborhood. there are many ugly things that she's on, but there's also something beautiful or was i've been no it. we've had a place where you can do theater and music and she's all of it were. there are people who will listen to you and the ones who can help you when you have opportunities here. one more part for me, doc, whether it's for football, environment workshop or making music over a 100 kids come every day in all seasons that are on that gonna show us what you've got. yeah. wow. i know that we thought he was able to go home, but we dying of getting a solid on it. we want the electricity project to show families that we care about in senior. the 1st energy community was not created in the city center, but here anybody in naples east will me. we're the 1st to do it or plaintiffs. finally, the residents no longer see themselves as the last ones,
1:46 pm
the forgotten ones who always get the leftovers. not know, but this time we are the 1st on we'll get the money we're south isn't thing. and i was the facility cost $100000.00 euros, financed by the canal, sued foundation. the families are now entrepreneurs. we not only used electricity, but also sell it for several months now. the facility has been producing green electricity at the foot of a service antique with 2nd week, i never done this energy community represents a new path with this district at no, not yet. there are still many unsolved environmental and social problems, and the mafia is still present laughing, but this is fine and then a positive story here. following their example in the next few months, dozens of new energy communities are to be set up all over southern italy
1:47 pm

1:49 pm
get do so how can afford that kinda, how can i get married? hoped on a realistic though, and i can't even think about having children. but most of them, most of you did most alien in 8 of them live in a small house in a poor neighbourhood, a vist emblem, sharing 3 rooms. the parents receive a small pension to dear works as a car mechanic earning minimum wage could dear, and one of his brothers are the only ones bringing money home. there are many families in the same situation in turkey with too little to live on. around 60 percent of all employees work in the low wage sector. many on minimum wage. the government has just raised the minimum wage for the 2nd time this year to $5500.00 lira about $310.00 euros. for idea. it hardly makes a difference. well, model why didn't tell didn't take well because right after that the prices of goods
