the international gathering of peace and cooperation becomes the scene of a horrible tragedy. arab terrorists, armed with sub machine guns, went to the headquarters of the really team and immediately killed one man. and that this will be the last time i saw him and i our worst fears, realized they're all gone. how i witnesses experienced the terrible events and this, the world's will not forget the long shadows the 1972 massacre start september 3rd on d, w. i lose you. hello everyone, and welcome to focus on europe. we start today show, with a look at putin's war, which continues to lead to the needless devastation of lives,

homes and futures in ukraine. back in russia, the impact is also being felt. but moscow is determined to stifle dissent, which is making for tough times in the countries arts, cultural and music scenes. more and more artists like the russian pop rock group. aloe vera, which has been speaking out against the ukraine war, have found themselves in the crosshairs of russian authorities. others like singers spent, la la bota, have been banned from performing in russia entirely. now there's a newly created special commission to uncover the so called anti russian acts with many artist learning the hard way how it feels to have the russian secret service arrive at the end of a concert. and for anyone who reaches a large audience like singer svetlana, their work, which contains anti war messages, naturally attracts even more attention. as russian authorities take action against her and many others. often the only option left is to flee. ah,

a concert audience in lafayette capital rica creates a sea of light and honor of singers spit, long low, but off, and she's as outspoken as ever green today. my homeland ukraine menu is experiencing a major into terrible unjust war. he spoke to you, bye bye. ah, in blue spit lun lava lived in moscow for years and has millions of fans in russia. but in late february, she spoke out against the country's war of aggression on ukraine and left russia. yeah, gotcha. what i want it to be on the right side of history, the site of good in truth on your problem. moscow's response wasn't long and coming

. la moda was banned from entering russia for the next 50 years. the singer is just one of many prominent figures. russia has punished for taking a public stand against the kremlin and its policies, artists, actors, and t. v personalities have since been forced out of the country. those who stay risp harassment by the authorities as happened to the band aloe vera from your katerina ball. with their lead singer theater most so young was married to a well known russian opposition figure currently in custody awaiting trial because of his openly anti war statements. the singer also protested against the kremlin policies and is paying the price. i said the last time i

saw a concert bands which were suddenly removed from festival programs. yes. sometimes they'll call just a few hours before the concert and say we're not allowed to play. we didn't to each young the, were you the political situation and russia gets the more brazenly, the authorities actually prohibit concert. jeez, to turn the, she'll be still due to designate a concert. ah, the band refused to give up it put on a concert at a secret location in saint petersburg for a select audience. yet a muscle yon says that afterwards, the organizers receive the visit from russia's f. s. b. the security service agents demanded the surveillance videos and photos to identify people who had attended the concert ah noticed silently sub for a thorn in the side of the authorities, our lifestyle, our social media posts all that is reason enough to ban us. it gladstone, but she didn't the worst of it as a be checked. i make no secret of my views and protest against the state we study

and that's enough for them to block our work as articles. you read the research as best that she the worst of which being the scalp, they get, ah, there is no official blacklist so far. but the names of performers whose appearances are unwanted. keep popping up in the media. the russian parliament is taking it a step further, proposing to penalize state employees who hire these performers. even if it's the director general of channel one, russia, or the director of moscow's renowned bolshoi theater. a got a hold of the state employees stand on the wrong side of history. so did you know that we want to give them back a common sense of them? if you are a state employee, you mustn't give popstars or celebrities who were taking an openly anti russian position. any state money, i'm sure she's ah,

but love is certain that she's chosen the right side. she thinks her fans across europe for their support. but what about her fans in russia? this year, the still not the russia is the country that's lost its way. you are new, which new at the top is a man who's leading this land in the wrong direction. but the latest they children and as long as people don't realize that they get to still nothing good will happen in that country with news has not yet much to me. sure, sure. this plan like english and performance is like this one will only be possible outside russia with russia continuing to wage its war against ukraine. life for ukrainians is lived in a constant state of emergency, especially for people near the front in and around the city of harkey. the population is not only in constant danger,

it's difficult to even maintain any semblance of day to day life or normalcy. the fact that it exists at all is thanks in part to people like joy a harbor is over. she's a mail carrier and she regularly travels around the contested area, bringing a whole lot more than just letters. ah, they got ye. near cox eve, russian artillery shells could hit at any moment where following behind zaya hub, who's over the local mail carrier. when things are quiet, she delivers the mail. they go to the halley sheila, i'm just glad i can get to the people again to the elderly, younger like a 2nd family to me. i love them and they love me. i thought the feeling is mutual. yeah, you could run a manipulator. she's the only visitor, many of these people have now 87 year old hannah's lived in her house for 56 years . yet she's lost 8 family members to walk like now she lives alone has received

it. he's only a few neighbors. i left here. cool them and because of the attack, i hardly ever see them on the fence was damaged and lots of dogs came into the yard and one of them but my leg. okay, let them know only about a quarter of digger cheese original population have stayed on here. the others have fled. the art center downtown has been destroyed and the central post office to he knew so did the people here have changed they're not afraid any more. often and more. i've never lived in this town. a naval usual. i've always lived in there got she went to my old mother's here, but my brother, chilly husband and daughter. well enough that she is. she works in our hospital. gordon. yeah. i'm only afraid from my mother at home and i started,

i'm almost zoe has been working as a mail carrier for 20 years. she's never been needed more than now in the war. she says, before we move on from da got she? we have to don body yama. not a pleasant feeling, especially since the local people have none, but the roads a dangerous. we meet up with ukrainian soldiers who have to collect fallen russian troops. a siding just outside khaki if we're not allowed to give the exact location. anton commands the ukrainian j 9 military units. his job is to recover fallen russian soldiers who were left behind on the battlefield. for 2 months, anton, helped to defend his city. he was born and raised in hockey, if starving of thought you, we handle all the fallen russian soldiers according to international law, launching those were not like mann middle name,

hon. this is our land where we were born here seasonally. we were not going anywhere else and we and you called we don't need any other land. what our own could, this is even if you were at home here, normally put that on like them through the cheapest way of mussa gama. who only if we head to the northeast in front of body has been reported to the unit in no man's land. we have to take out pictures fast with the small camera billy mitchell. come on, grab a body bag, make it snappy. do you war is a mass of contradictions and absurdities. these soldiers risked their lives to show the bodies of their enemies. do respect. they know the danger from mines and booby traps. with every step, the stench of decay gets thicker. with anton documents, the body, the dead russian soldier must have lain here for some time. was it was later

on the road back, anton tells us the war won't truly be over until the last veteran of it has died. too then, memories of it will live on with them. he and his comrades have retrieved over a 100 bodies so far, sometimes under fire, it fly to work because the corpses might trigger epidemics. the unit also helps to expose russian propaganda. the data they collect could also be useful for investigating war crimes, although no month, even during combat operations, we evacuate and identify the bodies of our enemies. but i thought them, oh no army has ever done that. as meticulously observing international law is important to him. even in war, he does what he can to keep his moral bearings. yet he feels no sympathy for the fallen russians. williams were, we killed them. what could be better? who rushed to the international red cross arranges for the exchange of the bodies

with russia. anton says the details i kept secret. ah, back with julia, the mail carrier. she has one last stop on her route. another elderly resident on the outskirts of dig out, she svetlana also doesn't want to leave her home. she only loses the what very pleased with our mail carrier, like she is magnificent, friendly, polite, and educated door, and always deliver the mail on time to so die. in reality, the fighting often means the mail is delayed, but force fit lana. the fact that zoe delivers the mail at all in the midst of a war, make so deserving of the highest praise lava. if you're out at sea, you're usually pretty happy if you're lucky enough to spot

a dolphin or maybe a whale. but imagine if your boat were suddenly attacked by one of those animals and by a killer. well, that is exactly what's happening off the atlantic coast of spain, where there are more and more reports of orca attacks on sailing yachts, fishing and sport boats. breen, biologists are faced with a mystery and sailors. well, they're left wondering how they can stay safe jello. a sailor's worst nightmare. rado a full grown orca rams. a boat of the spanish coast. hm . the animal is strong enough to damage the sailing on or in the worst case to capsize it. mm. mm. it's happened to raphael martinez too. he's had 30 years experience sailing the

seas with his wife. and the couple from counties are not easily shaken yet, but their encounter with the orchestra was terrified. your longer should be developed from goldfish. suddenly i felt a jolting and off yell short of the boat spun around a 180 degrees and was facing north city of west that i thought that was when my wife spotted the ok model solomon. so my, the 1st thing i did was radio, the coast god for help or get direct. because when an animal that massive attacks your boat and you don't know how long it's going to go on what anything could happen. hm. dot nick if we're there, bassette. beers are growing on spain and portugal, atlantic coast. more than 300 incidents have been recorded in the last 2 years. sailors say that the spanish coast guard is having to launch rescue operations on a daily basis for people whose boats have been damaged by orcus.

the crew of this boat were able to record the dramatic scenes. orcus also called killer whales, are predators that can weigh up to 7 tons. these 4 orchids pushed the yacht back and forth like a toy. they seemed especially fixated on the rudder. would you believe i was? i work at one sort of, here's the other. the marine mammals besieged the boat for about 2 hours. a stretch of scientists prefer to call the events encounters, but raphael martinez and most sailors are calling them attacks momento there by nico, for at one point i felt panic. obama, the august had been added for 15 minutes away, and suddenly i see a piece of the rudder floating behind us on the what i without a rudder, the boat is impossible to steer. the big question is,

why are the orchestra doing this or lemonade? chill, something has been done to them, that's completely destabilized them. e la b. it was as if they'd gone completely crazy on yet. look up at of the the port of cornell de la frontera local say the competition for food is making the orc is aggressive. the marine predators and the phishers are both hunting for bluth in tune up in the fight over the prey. fishers have injured orcus with harpoons, according to animal rights activists. the fishers have a different theory, and some of them may later we think that a sailor accidentally injured an ogre cascadia, and that's why the animals and now attacking the under side of the boats that never happened before. they did of article, but get no got. so cindy, we'll researcher, ezekiel under. you prefers to avoid the word attack. he estimates there are only about 40 iberian orcus left. protecting this endangered species is top priority

rather. but again, we feel very difficult to find the cause galoshes. however, the yoke is on telling us fetal a shotgun out. she gave it about what we can say with a high probability is that it's related to a variety of interactions with humans. should i know we think it's a learned behavior over time, which is passed on to the rest of the group transferred either. right. so they that i bought him. most of the sailors take little comfort in such explanations. they say scientists and authorities aren't doing enough to insure the sailor's safety. roughly, martinez says the animals should be monitored with gps transmitters. if nothing is done, he fears one day an orca might be killed bundled, what could be this? i feel boat and july for endanger than you defend yourself. i feel sorry for the orchestra, i mean, but if it's a question of their life or my life, then i choose mine. but it should never come to that. no, i,

we need studies and solutions to the problem. the problem of getting get a for the couple plan to continue sailing. but one thing they want to avoid at all costs is another encounter with the iberian orcus. these summer drought is leaving its mark everywhere in europe, especially on agriculture. the fields are brown and dusty and harvests have been threatened in many regions throughout the continent, including right here in germany in the east where farmers tend to grow grain. it's been especially dramatic, like on the fields of eunice shoots, and ne hoff. the farmer feels that this drought is a sign of many more to come, but he's not about to hang up his boots for him. it's time to change his plans and his plans. no,

this is not a wade. it's gina. can you recall keen, while grain? it's light colored, you're a good sized and quite firm with which means it's the right time for threshing machine. that's m. as in richard, i pulled some professional. keen wire is a recent arrival in yonah should sidney huffs fields. the organic farmer likes to test out new crops when he took over his father's farm 8 years ago, the fields were planted with the usual spelt oats, potatoes, and mays. the dark, fertile soil in this part of aisd and germany is rich and nutrients. but there's a problem. oh, and here's a sort of, it's gotten much, much dryer here, and we just don't harvest as much grain as we used to make misery. antony flew up to secure his livelihood. the farm is now experimenting with keen, were the ancient inca grain, which is native to the andes of south america. but get anything wrong that the issue is not only the current economic situation,

but what will happen to morrow the day after to morrow and 3 years from now wouldn't illegal given all that, i need to be experimenting with new crops today. fine. it's part of being an entrepreneur, you take risks, sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. the trick is to win more than you lose. but at 1st he was starting from scratch. he didn't even have a source for the seeds. learning by trial and error, which 60 is on, is starting to bedford shoots, and he half is an exception in his region in northeast, in germany. but he does have allies allenwood to ins. agricultural scientists, auto carving co, also believes that the agriculture sector in germany needs to adjust to climate change. she contacted schultz and the half to find out more about his experiences. thank the angelita, we've talked enough played enough politics and have thought long enough on what's to be done when academic the it's time for action. galvan listens honey come

together. they measure the soil moisture content of the field. oh god of the wow. you can see how dry it is, is 3 point one. 0, less than 10 percent. they both say is too little for the usual spilt owed. so wait a minute. again, here is the so talking of f letter it. so it dried that we might have to consider a change on and make the switch from grams to chic piece and then because they'd probably cope with drought. so we'll see. so far the farmer is only growing kiwa on 2.5 percent of his land spelt and potatoes are still his main source of income. but in the meantime, a native of sub tropical regions has moved into 4th place. the chick p o is the soil is ha, ha, ha ha. with its feathery leaves, it would have

a key advantage in coping with drought. that howard air ivana the do that gathers overnight in sub here in our possessions cans, even when it's completely dry, you still have a little bit of moisture tied on and check peace. of course i also have a nice deep root system. 3rd, as well to that without cancer teeth one decade. the organic farmer is pleased with the keen were harvest because of the hot weather it dried, much faster than usual this year. to drive that in. the yield for the grains he normally grows, dropped by 20 percent. another sign that he's on the right track footnote, then i need to expand my horizons. the world is constantly changing and we have to change with it. and listen via and submit. vanden yona scrutiny off, believes that climate change will bring more drought to this part of germany.

farmers will have no choice but to adapt to that. and he wants to be prepared if you are looking for one last vacation this summer, you might be interested in a trip to switzerland in the canton of ally. it's no longer just about the usual swift stuff though, like marvelling at the mountains or breathing the fresh alpine air. it's about breathing, some pretty terrible air and getting an awful night's sleep with a complete lack of privacy and for a whole lot of money. ah, looking like it just fell from the sky. the bed lies by the road. there is no escaping the noise emissions or rising gas prices, but the re cleans don't mind if their guests can't sleep. their 0 star sweet isn't meant to be idyllic. the twins want there are to wake people up to break with old conventions and structures. ccc,

so it's not the time to sleep. we need to react to the current state of the world. they up here. oh, dr. investigate their hotel at the gas station helps folks discover that it's a symbol of a world gone haywire war in europe and energy crisis and high inflation. b as current slope as artist. if we think we also have a responsibility now we need to do something ourselves or not just play the asleep so we can ignore phone guys because and we also realized that in society, so there's a huge desire or change. in the case of sales here courses, they launched their 1st 0 star hotel in 2008 in a nuclear fallout. shelter. open air versions, and vineyards and mountain pastures followed. but they all had butler service. these butler's are normally students or work in banks or bakeries. they sport a uniform on top, but whatever they like on the bottom,

the butler's make beds serve breakfast and chat with the guests. they're an important part of the concept which is the one that i just try to please because and enjoy the experience by self. that's the goal to enjoy doing it and really give the guests something positive with the to procure one more for over 2 decades. thirdly, clean twins have been making art that intrudes into reality, out of the museum and into everyday life. guests pay almost $330.00 heroes for one night at their 0 star hotel, a deliberate provocation, you say, so it is. i think i say it as an investment and self reflection. i mean if someone recognizes the personal value in it for the 325 swiss francs or nothing about it. so i can see then they can skip taking another course or mindfulness training findings in an increasingly incongruous world, spending the night in this bed is also making a statement the hotel will operate until mid september. so what's next? the leak?

lin twins have some ideas. hello vladimir. hello, hello. can you understand us? we're on a conference call and hopefully it doesn't rain in any case on behalf of the whole team here at focus on europe. i wish you a good rest of your day and a great night sleep. see you next time ah, ah ah ah, ah, with

who into the conflict with sebastian rushing forward his advance in the east of ukraine here is warding alive massively out gum. my guess is we come home on his record to be a member of the european problem,

the think close pressing for a quick response, a wrong with 30 minute d, w. a contentious, bigger issue. and here in germany, i think gorbachev is one of the great heroes of the 20th century mikhail gorbachev . the last leader of the soviet union was an agent of change to quickly met his downfall. to resign my duties as president the arrow of time. remembering mikhail ah, in 75 minutes on d w o. sometimes a seed is all you need to allow the big ideas to grow. we're bringing environmental
