quarters of the is really team and immediately killed one man. and that is really the last one was one word and worst fears. tonight. they're all gone out. i witnesses experienced the terrible events and this the world shouldn't forget the little shuttle 1972 big messenger starts september, 3rd on d, w. ah, this is focus on europe. i'm lar babel ola, welcome to the show. europe is drying up a new report by the commission says the continent is experiencing it's worse drought in 500 years. the extreme heat this summer has left deep scars. in many regions. germany's longest river is shrinking at an alarming rate and extreme water

shortage on the rhine has hit the environment and the economy hard news channels need to be dredged so that ships can transport goods and people along the river. while the rhine is regarded as germany's most important river, it has inspired a famous author's composers and philosophers over the ages. but with temperatures getting hotter, the mighty waterway is gradually losing its size and stature. traffic on the depleted water channels has been brought to a stand still in some places along the rhine. our report are met with people whose livelihoods are being affected by the drought. ah, historically low water level, in some places, the rhine is no more than a meter. deep things have come to a standstill. in our trip in western germany, operations have been stalled for days. the water is too shallow for the ferry,

which this family business runs. this was all up on there. the water was one meter 30. well, if we cross over, our ship won't make it, and we'd be finished. was all then you're stuck in the sand with the propeller busted from work. a new propeller like that costs 26270000 you just can't go out and buy that new they've got offered. now some employees will have to go on vacation. others will have their, our shorthand, and the rest are using to excavators to dig a new deeper channel. further down the rhine at manheim, it is clear just how much is at stake. 80 per cent of germany's inland shipping passes through the rhine arbor, director of the current tells us that many sectors depend on goods delivered by water to the end of that we went over there. you can also see that the police are blocking one of the 2 routes on the bridge of us, probably because there's not enough water bottle, which is here. and you can see how these 2 ships now have to watch out passing each other. hi coleman. as it so now these guys really have a hard job,

making sure nothing happens explosive. but the biggest problem, according to the kern can be seen with this freighter ships can no longer be fully loaded. as mobile privacy, amazon currently takes $3.00 to $4.00 times as much cargo space to carry the same amount as at normal water levels of filter that leads to shortages. and of course, to increase in costs. well, that's the big problem. well, the forcible it. mm. but the rhine stroud effects the environment most gerardo ogre laffer cat has observed the natural landscape here for over 10 years. and the vegetation is now in serious danger. uva and you're here, we would normally be a meter under water and there's just no more water. we're all living things here that can't retreat into the water will die. ost says tylic, thine con, this mainly affect small animals like crustaceans. but according to conservationists, it is now also dangerous for fish. as the years sun,

everything is already dead. here, you have to imagine such puddles can get to 30 to 35 degrees. this is, these are death, so not only poor fish or professor, but for all smaller organisms on alpha, he glanced and constantly movies. even worse tourists are further damaging the flora and fauna many are taking advantage of the drought to walk to the world famous mouse tower. environmentalists say this destroys precious breeding grounds and others called them within lens. so the problem is that people and otherwise inaccessible islands are a disturbance, is the still i for gra, drew, and fish and the ocean. then the bird gets used to with environment just us. and if it's not useful humans walking around than anyone walking around, there will be huge disturbances stir longs and so it might abandon its nest off that on those angle league of her. as we continue our journey,

we passed long sandbanks, idle ships and water that is rarely been this low. almost all fairy services across the rhine have closed. however, martin schnauzer in the small town of india heim is still operating for 130 years and for 5 generations. his family has run a ferry on the rhine. his very can still make it because it is specially designed for extremely shallow water was the ugliest thing she thought would repel her is in the hall, which means that very doesn't have a keel. so we have less draft the local, neutral there. still enough clearance for that so the water can still fall half a meter. hopefully it won't come to that. hopefully business is still good for margin. schnauzer ever more commuters than tourist now depend on his very real threat. this used to be once every 20 years. now every 2 years the river can't be crossed and so we have to help out and demand is increasing that he also has no authority. the fairies still has 50 centimeters to the river bed. but martin

schnauzer doesn't know how long that will last. if it doesn't rain soon, he will probably have to give up to ukraine now, where the suffering and cruelty from the war continue unabated. it has been 6 months since russia invaded the country, and pollutants bombs are landing, and residential areas killing and injuring those 2 are the most vulnerable hospital patients, ukrainian. pavlov, tonya has made it his mission to document these horse. he is determined to hold the kremlin accountable for such atrocities, according to ukrainian data. some 700 health facilities have been struck by russian missiles. far from the front line. ensure niv hospitals are coming under attack. ah. when he was deputy minister of health, pablo cough tunic tried to reform the ukrainian health system. and now 3 years

later, he's documenting its destruction. this was once the cardiology center of charity, hugh, but in march or russian air raid reduced to rubble. that was just one of over a $180.00 attacks on health facilities documented by cob, tonya, and his and geo. i see the systemic read that an open destruction of healthcare as a bottle of civilian livelihood, but it's not only about health care, it's all types of ceiling objects. abby systemic on a targeted a dash cam video recorded the moment. when 8 russian bombs hit this residential area, a witness sent us another video. it shows the devastation just minutes after the impact and the crater right in front of the cardiology center is clear to see. 47

people died in the attack and dozens were injured. one resident told us about how shells were raining down nonstop on chair and a hue back. then the last, they needed escalators. the victims all had to be buried in body bags for wives. witnesses confirmed, there were no military facilities or positions of any kind near the hospital this. that's why captain york says the attack was a war crime and that russia must be held accountable. understood was with us other places, which means that a should seek to avoid actively. it's not that they would shall, and as at all, saudi that was a hospital. no, they should check eva hospital as there. and if it is there, they should. anything possible not to hear that it said obligation, according to geneva conventions, but to ensure justice is served there trying to gather as much evidence as possible

co, tanya and his colleagues have been in the field talking to witnesses and looking for traces of impacts and pieces of ammunition like russia, and they're meticulously documenting the damage. liquor cop, tanya says they're following international standards. so that courts world wide can use their evidence. we are not legal people. i background, none of us. we are health care people. what got some trainings in those protocols and those procedures and, and we're using the software to do our best. and they're hoping for at least a bottom that evidence will go and will win in some case. and his angio has also documented the case of china. hughes pediatric hospital. we spoke with dr. me colo. you'd kabbage a little book. but before we could ask him any questions, he knew he just started talking about what happened with the book and about how they were treating all the people injured in an attack on the residential area.

oscar o and how their hospital itself was hit by a bomb. 2 weeks later, malicious of the why we're trained trauma surgeon school, but we've never experienced these kinds of leading wins. brazil, everyone was screaming adults of children. we put 5 of them on the floor, but they just kept coming with local. it was complete chaos. b i tell you, ship was to part with shells raining down. they had to flee into the basement again . and again, they even did surgery there and did their best to protect the children until the hospital itself was hit. the russian missiles were equipped with cluster munitions, while it is largely band under and international treaty. and here they impacted the 1st to the 5th floor. but it symbol upward that enough that it was fortunately, it was an air raid siren before the cluster bomb hit. he thought, so he got the kids into the basement to middles. i mean, wish otherwise, we would have had 237 fatalities if they, if he showed us the pieces of shrapnel he collected on site. but it would have

taken them hours to remove the dozens of bits of shrapnel from the children's bodies as the questionable uncle. moby rose is filled with the door and i have many here to this and on it to explain why when it justice or somebody needs to pay for what was done to that, to people like, like nicola or his vision. as we left churney, hugh again, we passed by another fully destroyed hospital cook, tanya knows it could take years for legal action to be taken in international court . but in the meantime, he wants to do anything he can to collect evidence. this is the golden jackal. native to europe, though, the predators are smaller than wolves. jackals have unique skill swimming. they can swim at several miles in pursuit of prey,

and they adapt quickly to new habitats. jackals will also eat almost anything from fruit to livestock. well, this is bad news for the shepherds who live on the croatian archipelago of the corn, natty islands, a paradise in the age your attic see where until recently jackals were unheard of. shackled as you catch has been out all morning hoping to find at least a couple of his sheep. they are semi wild and live scattered across the island of peachcare. his plan was to do some cheering today, but all he found was a terrified lamb yolk of lives with his family on the corner. he islands the archipelago as a natural paradise and has been a national park for over 40 years. for centuries, the people here have lived from fishing, sheep farming, and olives of fragile ecosystem that is suddenly under threat

jackals have appeared on the island. wolfe like wild dogs flood call regina, which the national park biologist is on their trail. it's a coincidence that he is here today just 2 days ago, yrc of tells him there were a couple of mother sheep with their lambs at the house. you know, how old are they to we are said lot in 2 weeks. oh, and this one's one week old and on one and here there was another one along with this one still at the, at the also one week, but it's gone in and these 2 are gone to. i found this one this morning, was he was there gonna be room? i 30 a jak of will raise the land himself rather than leave it to the jackals. he earned nothing from the sheep's wool. only. lamps could be sold. ah, they'd set a trap above yakobelli farm. it's an attempt to at least do something

but so far without success, the trap is empty. in your food, chill, nolan, and doesn't work for jacqueline. that was what i'm hoping. we'll try again somewhere else in the community. my jack, av says it's too small local coaches, i thought that molly thought it and she said duca, and a girl at the entrance is much too small. listen, good. molly jackals are shy and cunning and masterfully camouflaged by their fur. it's only with video traps that slot go gets to see the animals but that's tedious. it's hot. the islands to rain is rough. putting cameras in the right place requires as much luck as skill. and then he has to go back every 2 or 3 weeks to replace the batteries and view the pictures you perform or saw or hear williams in 8 comers to find out how many the arts,

what direction they are headed in and the frequency on your chuck how often they show up at college coaches towers hipley, are you loaded here at the only water hole on all the canary islands? the chances are good, the sheep come to drink, but so do the jackal's. nice lassie sir, this is chuck communist and this is the, the sheep sheep and the chicken. okay. must drink to water that this is now life threatening for the sheep and sheep are important for keeping the vegetation cropped on the island, especially under the olive trees. they wouldn't grow properly if there were too much undergrowth. we accompany a park administration patrol. they organized regular hands now and have shot a few jackals, but the animals are still propagating across the islands. the rangers are not yet sure why they suspect environmental influences with miss more than alone. we are

here in the south side of doug are toxic, or the church really kaba, behind as of the small island of villa alba, gala coronado shaw. but it blew o february book and we think the jackal swung from to the are talk to fail alba. and then here to connect to another boy stress group on the go in total, that's about 800 meters i believe. and we know from research that chuckles can easily swim to miles. morrison a chug unit problem in the, in the immediate plots. and indeed, there is a video taken by locals. a jackal conley swims to the shore. never before had there been jackals on corn noddy. now you can find their traces everywhere. more and more pictures of dead sheep are emerging, not all victims of jackals, but most of them. but a 3 or 3 years ago before the jackal came out. but we had about $200.00 sheep on each farm on the island stag la blog. now there are about 60,

if that are quite hypocrite. the farmer has since spotted a few of his sheep. but as soon as they catch his scent, they take off semi wild sheep, forming has no future yoke of says he wants to change strategy factor mode. there it will be in september. we will start afresh. fortunate, i'll bring in 10 new sheep this. let's see if that works or with not as many as before. i'll be done, but we'll keep them in the barn on the go. now go or to koya. so sally yaga will probably have to get used to living with the jackals. it looks like they have come to stay. the new inhabitants of the islands they came hoping for asylum and away into the european union. last fall, tens of thousands of migrants suddenly gathered at poland. border. suspicion fell on beller ruffian ruler, alexander lucas shanker. he was accused of sending him there in retaliation for you

sanctions against his regime. holden's response was swift. the boarder was a fortified with police and barbed wire. warsaw then went a step further and installed a heavily guarded fence. now, only a few migrants managed to make it across to the other side. mario, shes new, the polish feller russian border. until recently, this was a restricted military's own. he searching the forest for migrants who managed to cross over cause for help keep coming in. he told us how we helped the boy from guinea just before our meeting, which at the last land were entered from the wire fence, his deep wounds were infected and filled with pus. i had to disinfect and treat everything. doris boy is the 1st time he's been able to search here again because the strip was sealed off for over 9 months. even for helpers like him. the been

you milk, did we shoot them if we activists and volunteers weren't on the ground? and most of these people would probably die in the forest because the condition that some of the men and women were in was really hard to describe his diet. with the jericho piece that you left of the region is normally known for its wild animals. for nature and for the bee of, of each a forest. but the area was closed off because poland wanted to stop migrants from crossing the border from bene, ruth. and many are from the middle east. now there is a newly built fence vice versa, because i think the government is just doing a show up for just like that this way. the pence may be a small barrier, but refugees still get through over the top or underneath a little bit. but let's be honest with me. no wall can stop people that laying from death, war, or persecution up to a mutual loyalty. so the one emmy, we wanted to see the border fence for ourselves at almost 190 kilometers long, 5 meters high. it has guards and commerce. according to the border guards,

significantly fewer migrants are now entering poland. we noticed that, but not the only was visiting the fence from others hair. it is still an unfamiliar a strange sight. the village of been casa was also in the restricted zone. there was a state of emergency here, no one from outside could enter without permission. and i was seeking to leave was checked several times. the fence runs right up along these yards behind it lies bella luce and i have putin. we asked if it was right to build a fence. if it wasn't for the spence, the russians would already be here. this was all set up back then for the ukraine conflict. napoleon, corrina was more in the same sentiments. could be heard that the local village store here comes on wheels best yet. we are safe now. it's good that the wall was built and we are grateful to those who made it happen. think we're mix of the phone with you and men. cough so like an other villages, military and border guards are still in the move. officially,

the zone was also for protecting security forces and arresting migrant smugglers. but there have also been accusations against poland for sending people back to paris in violation of international law. the so called push backs are approved by the polish parliament we drove on and more than $180.00 villages were affected by the exclusion zone, including many that are normally dependent on tourism. like christian yanine. only a few families live here. many polish tortures. a muslim minority. oh, on saturday morning, men and women pray separately. oh, at the mosque we met janasia bog done of it. she was relieved that the restricted zone was finally opened. with the what usa then you call it was why had no one was here,

no one at all. that's why we're happy that there are prayer meetings again to law that we can celebrate the feast of sacrifice together in we're happy that things are going back to normal. take them so banga sofa. she took us to a restaurant just across the street. oh, was traditional torture cuisine and 30 employees. it's a large establishment. the guests are mainly tourists and regulars and have not been allowed to come for a long time. did you enjoy it? asks the restaurant manager. excellent. as always, replies the customer. at last the guests here again after recovered locked downs, the exclusion zone nearly drove them into financial room. so janetta but donovan ahmad sir nikki cor: without outside help we won't be able to survive. you that have been to promise. if we get support, i'm at, i'll be able to manage it. but if not,

we don't even want to imagine what will happen. but money isn't the only problem. she told us. the exclusion zone has also had an effect on our spirit to help others . she now allows small businesses to set up stands at the restaurant. ready strength the sound and the family. she says. the haunting beauty of a building left in ruins. as an eerie silence. broken only by a bird or the wind moving through the trees. mother nature is left to devour the abandon space one branch at a time. these dilapidated buildings, or so called last places fascinate german photographer van fenmont. his work is getting noticed on line, but some of the attention is unwelcome. then last places are being found by a new generation of content hungry creators. serrano in northern italy is home to the ruins of the east delta for skinny car factory. it's

been deserted since 1990 and bushes. shrubs and trees have been sprouting up between the steel girders. nature is reclaiming its space in record time bruins like this are a playground for cliff health based photographers spend panama. if it's had 50, there's a true symbiosis here. number, it's not a conflict like how we normally try to keep nature in check, high, cut it back and shape it's in to retire. nature can unfold freely, has woodruff, and yet it does so through dialogue and the end dialogue with the building and benefit of some buttress produces very astonishing images voided under the fling. type guns, no guns astonished buddha. italy is venomous. destination of choice, because hardly anywhere else has as many modern ruins. unlike in germany, many things are just left standing completely abandoned. but even in italy, urban spaces like this one are enticing developers. and the owner told us an art academy with the museum is said to open its doors in the coming years.

awkward they be, then student housing will probably go up to not in those opiates that'll make for a living space where the people can reclaim this property again. so the kristy spot, the, what the plan is to at least keep the green space around the property making for a bit of urban wilderness. but the modern ruins in italy faced another threat through social media and the internet. hidden gems are increasingly being revealed . and vandalized, panama has often visited the villa romantic under bolona. but this time he is in for an unpleasant surprise. open things. oh, i'm really a pol try. i've been her twice and there wasn't any graffiti at all from on. my last visit was 6 years ago. i know 50. ah, now that a lot has been destroyed or tagged its time profane. am i to change locations?

because there are still some magical places left, but he'd rather not say just where this churches lost and found a now a closely guarded secret. that's all from us this week at focus on europe. thanks so much for watching. like know? ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

ah, with to enter the conflicts own, confronting the powerful 18 months after the violence on capitol hill. it's clear that the us democracy was in greater danger than previous we believe. my guess is weak from thomas david from a writer and columnist for the atlantic magazine. he says the stakes were and still are frightening way home. conflict. so in 30 minutes on

d. w, a homeless in the stumble, the numbers have risen in the metropolis of millions. but little how comes from the state, volunteers do their best to actively support the people finished. if i don't do it, he will. i used to not have a home either. and the government the government want to jim in 75 minutes on d. w. oh, blue we're all good to go beyond the obvious as we take on the world. 8 hours. i do all the fans. we're all about the

stories that matter to you. whatever it takes, 5 policeman follow. how do you go? here we are. your is actually on fire made for mine's departure into the no to day this means flying to a foreign planet in the 16th century. it meant being a captain and setting sail to discover a route the world famous sea voyage of ferdinand of magellan. part of a race for all power between spain and portugal. a race leads to military interests, a race linked to political and military facilities,

but also linked to main financial changes and adventure full of hardships, dangers and death. 3 years that would change the world forever. my jillions journey around the world. starting september 7th on d. w. ah, this is d w news and these are our top stories, e crenshaw 30 say a russian rocket attack on the central town of to planar has killed at least 22 people and injured more than 50 of it comes on new kinds independence day. and the 6 month anniversary, the start of the book, ukrainian president blood of miss lensky and his wife paid tribute to the ukrainian soldiers killed from the country.
