national gatherings, cooperation becomes the scene of a horrible tragedy. arab tours armed with sub machine guns, went to the headquarters of the israeli team and immediately killed one man. and that's really the last one was on the line and were spears. tonight. they're all gone. how i witnesses experienced the terrible events and this the world should not forget the law shuttle 972 over brick massacre starts september 3rd on d. w. ah, this is focus on europe. i'm lar babel lola. 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 authors, 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 muzzle bubble there. the water was one meter 30. well, if we cross over, our ship won't make it, and we'd be finished muscles. then you're stuck in the sand with the propeller busted from work. a new propeller like that costs 26270000 would be and you just can't go out and buy that in the defect office. 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 mannheim, it is clear just how much is at stake. 80 percent of germany's inland shipping passes through the rhine arbor director. 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 high common as it. so now these guys really have a hard job, making sure nothing happens explosive. but the biggest problem, according to the pern, can be seen with this freighter ships can no longer be fully loaded as mobile tribes via my. so currently it takes $3.00 to $4.00 times as much cargo space to carry the same amount as at normal water levels of field, some of that leads to shortages. and of course, to increase in costs when that's the big problem will of course above it. but the rhine stroud affects 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. you via and you're here, we would normally be a meter under water and there's just no more water near all living things here that can't retreat into the water will die. ost says tylic thing,

can this mainly affect small animals like crustaceans. but according to conservationists, it is now also dangerous for fish. as the year's 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 is not only for fish or professor, but for all smaller organization offer the glancing clunks, leibovich. and 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. others pulled them within lens. so the problem is that people and otherwise inaccessible islands are a disturbance, is the still, i forgot to ruin fish and the ocean, then the bird gets used to with environment us thus, and to face not uses humans walking around than anyone walking around. it would be

huge disturbances stir, longs and so it might abandon its nest off that those angelique 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. with the eclipse interest, howard repel or is in the hall, which means the very doesn't have a keel, so we have less draft isn't open until they're still enough clearance. 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 vital 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 y'alls with a life 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 putin's bombs are landing and residential areas killing and injuring those who are the most vulnerable hospital patients ukrainian. pavlov, tanya 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 cove to new york tried to reform the ukrainian health system. and now 3 years later, he's documenting its destruction. this was once the cardiology center of churn a you. but in march, a russian air raid reduced to rubble. that was just one of over a $180.00 attacks on health facilities documented by cop ton yoke. and his and geo i see the systemic read that an open destruction of froth care as a bottle of civilian livelihood, but it's not only about health care, it's old types of psychologically 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 charity hue. back then it's the last they needed escalators, the victims all had to be buried in body bags. wife, witnesses confirm. there were no military facilities or positions of any kind near the hospital. this, that's my cup, tanya says the attack was a war crime and that russia must be held accountable. understood hospitals, other places which means that a should seek to avoid actively. it's not that they would shall answer or saudi that was a hospital. no. they should check eva hospital as there. and if it is there, they should anything possible not to heat that had set 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, leisure, bourgeois, and their 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. the fall, i bet ground none of us. we are health careful, but to 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 bottle 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 bit. but before we could ask him any questions, you know, 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 wine were trained trauma surgeons, but we've never experienced these kinds of bleeding wounds. brazil, everyone was screaming adults and children. we put 5 of them on the floor, but they just kept coming, went lumicore, 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 up would be that a lot that it was fortunately, there was an air raid siren before the cluster bomb hit. he thought,

so he got the kids into the basement. don't let us. i mean, wish otherwise we would have had 237 fatalities if they. ready if he showed us the pieces of shrapnel he collected on site with you, but it would have taken them hours to remove the dozens of bits of shrapnel from the children's bodies says the question will uncle moby rosa sub with a dog. and i have many, here it is, no need to explain why when it justice or somebody needs to pay for what was done to that 5th alike like nicola or suspicion. 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 courts. 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 in my wild and lived scattered across the island of peachcare. his plan was to do some cheering today. but all he found was a terrified lamb. yoga 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. a fragile ecosystem that is suddenly under threat jackals have appeared on the island. wolfe like wild dogs flood call regina, which the national part 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's sheep with their lamps at the house. you know, how old are they to we are said lot in 2 weeks. oh and this one's one, we call it on the one. and here there was another one along with this one still at the, at the, also one week. but it's gone. and these 2 are gone to i found this one this morning . he was there gonna be a room. i did hear ya come, we'll raise the land himself rather than leave it to the jackals. he earns nothing from the sheep's wool. only. lamps could be sold.

ah, they have set a trap above yank of farm. it's an attempt to at least do something. but so far without success, the trap is empty. in the food to nolan, it doesn't work for jacqueline. like with a lot, i'm up but i will try it again somewhere else in the community. jack av says it's too small. local coaches. i thought any molly got it and she said you couldn't go at the entrance is much too small group. 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 book with arm or so. or here we lose him 8 cameras to find out how many the arts, what direction they are headed in under frequency. so you're chuck, how often they show up calico, just our civil jojo loaded here at the only water hole on all the cannady islands. the chances are good, the sheep come to drink, but so do the jackals. nice, lassie sir, this is jacqueline. yes. and this is good. the sheep sheep and the check. okay. must drink to water. he said 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 doggie are toxic or touch, which really kaba behind as, as the small island of villa alba gala cool. not the bushel, but it blew o february book on we think the jackal swung from to the are talk to fail alba and then here to connect to another boy threat scoop on the gun 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, the immediate plots. and indeed there is a video taken by locals. a jackal calmly 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 with douglas blog. now there are about 60, if that awkward, he thought a great. the farmer has since spotted a few of his sheep. but as soon as they catch his scent, they take off semi wild sheep. farming has no future. jak of says he wants to change strategy, vector mo, there it that will be in september. we will start afresh, which is good. i'll bring in 10 new sheep. this, let's see if that works or with everything, not as many as before, i'll be done, but we'll keep them in the barn on the go. now go or take glare. so stanley 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 roost unit ruler, alexander lucas shanker. he was accused of sending him there in retaliation for e u sanctions against his regime. poland. response was swift. the border 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 bella 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 a boy from guinea just before our meeting. which aunt, unless land were entered from the wire fence, his deep ones were infected and filled with puss. i had to disinfect and treat everything though his boy, his,

the 1st time he's been able to search her again. because the strip was sealed off for over 9 months. even for helpers like him. living in new york, 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 than jericho piece that you love the. 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 bella, ruth, and many from the middle east. now there is a newly built fence vice versa because it, i think the government is just doing a show 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 lean from death war, or persecution, of mutual loyalty. so the one i mean,

we wanted to see the border fence for ourselves at almost 190 kilometers long. 5 meters high, cost guards and commerce. according to the border guards, significantly fewer migrants are now entering poland. we noticed that were not the only was visiting the fence for 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 went, 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. rebellion if it wasn't for this fancy, the russians would already be here. this was all set up back then for the ukraine conflict with blue green was the same sentiment could be heard that the local village store here comes on wheels, best deity, we are safe now. it's good that the wall was built and we are grateful to those who

made it happen. do we a mix of the thought of you and ben, cough so like an other village's 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 peluso, violation of international law. the so called push backs are approved by the polish parliament. we drove on more than $180.00 villages were affected by the exclusion zone, including many that are normally dependent on tourism. like christian danay, 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 you not bogged? none of it. she was relieved that the restricted zone was finally opened.

with 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 till that we can celebrate the feast of sacrifice together in we're happy that things are going back to normal. take them. so banga, erica, she took us to a restaurant just across the street. oh, with some traditional torture cuisine and 30 employees. it's a large establishment. the guests are mainly tourists and regulars who have not been allowed to come for a long time. did you enjoy it? asked the restaurant manager. excellent. as always, replies the customer. at last, there are guests here again after covered locked downs, the exclusion zone nearly drove them into financial rooms such an out of a gun, rich ahmad sir. nicky call without outside help,

we won't be able to survive. you that have been to pamela. if we get support, i'm it, i'll be able to manage it. but if not, we don't even want to imagine what will happen ah, 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 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 abandoned space. one branch at a time. these dilapidated buildings or so called last places fascinate german photographer van panama. his work is getting noticed on line, but some of the attention is unwelcome. then's last places are being found by

a new generation of content hungry creators. serrano in northern italy is home to the ruins of the eas 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 held based photographers spend panama. if a 50, there's a true symbiosis here. number, it's not a conflict like how we normally try to keep nature in chicago, cut it back and shape and i didn't want to retire. nature could unfold freely, would offend, yet it does so with through dialogue and the end dialogue with the building and benefit of some buttress produces very astonishing images avoided under the fling type guns against stallnicher boot up italy as 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 models of its 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. or even think, i'm really a pol try. i've been her twice and there wasn't any graffiti at all. that's from on

. my last visit was 6 years ago with 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, ah ah ah, ah, with

ah! with a is the end of the pandemic in sight. we show what it could look like. will return to normal. and we visit those who are finding it difficult.

with success in our weekly coven, 19 special. in 90 minutes on d, w, a is a journey across the entire continent with variety of cod. so word on this so we focus the movers, shake as visionaries and make us when by the, the meaning of modern africa. this is an egg on d. w. departure into the on today. this means flying to a foreign planet in the 16th century, it meant being a captain and setting sale to discover

a route the world famous c. voyage of ferdinand of magellan expedition. now then became a scientific expedition. as many new things were being discovered, it was in fact an adventure in the end of a race for worried power between spain and port go to race linked to military interest, the race linked to political, military, christy. but also linked to making financial an adventure full of hardships, dangers, and death. 3 years that would change the world for ever. let jones journey around the world. start september 7th on d. w with

this is the w news live from berlin. ukraine separation nuclear power plant shuts down. ukraine blames russian troops occupying the facility. it usually supplies the 5th of the countries. electricity concerns also grow over a nuclear disaster if the fighting continued.
