climate change or station in the rain forest contain carbon dioxide emissions, have risen again. young people over the world are committed to climate protection. what impact because change doesn't happen on its own. make up your own mind. w. 4 minds ah, hello everyone and welcome to focus on europe. we start today, so 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 cross hairs of russian authorities. others like singers spent, la la boda, 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,

concert audience in lafayette, capital rica creates a sea of light and honor of singers svetlana over dog. and she's as outspoken as ever anything you need to day? my homeland ukraine menu is experiencing a major into terrible unjust war use pregnancy rather, ah, in lieu step one, a lava dog, 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, got you. what i want it to be on the right side of history, the side of good in truth on your problem. moscow's response wasn't long in 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. artist 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 with certain estimates our 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, geez, to turn the shelby's to go to designate the consent. ah, the band refused to give up it, put on a concert. had a secret location in saint petersburg for a select audience. yet a muscle yon says that afterwards, the organizers received a 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 sabrina thorn in the side of the authorities or lifestyle or social media post. all that is reason enough to ban us. it was a lead to, but she didn't the worst of and as a be checked, i make no secret of my views and protest against the state you when we started. and

that's enough for them to block our work as articles. you read the rest of the statues, the worst of which being the discount 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. oh julie jennings, got a hold of the state employee. stand on the wrong side of history. oh, did you know that we want to give them back? they common sense. danger. oh yours them. if you are a state employee, you mustn't give popstars or celebrities who were taking an openly ante russian position. any state money? i'm sure she is for budgets. ah,

but love the lava 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? bestier the stomach at russia is the country that's lost its way. she, when you're watching at the top is a man who's leading this land in the wrong direction. ugliest. they children and as long as people don't realize that they get this done, nothing good will happen in that country. i am looking yes. as night, he had to list any chill hush with his tiny looking washed. 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 zoe, a hobbies over. she's a male carrier, and she regularly travels around the contested area, bringing a whole lot more than just letters. they got she near khaki of russian artillery shows, could hit at any moment where following behind azalea hub booth over the local mail carrier. when things are quiet, she delivers the mail. they go to the haley sheila, i'm just glad i can get to the people here to the elderly. younger like a 2nd family to me. i love them and they love me. oh, the feeling is mutual. yeah, you could have been 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 young. she's lost 8 family members to war. now she lives alone. so she did, he only a few neighbors, i left here,

cool them. and because of the attacks, i hardly ever see them. one of my defense was damaged and lots of dogs came into the yard and one of them. but my like you to 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 than long. i've never left this town any like you sure. i've always lived in there got. she went to my old mother's here, but my brother, shirley, husband and daughter. 0 one of the she is. she works in our hospital florine. i'm only afraid from my mother when i started a normal. 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 day got she. we have to don body armor. not a pleasant feeling, especially since the local people have none. but the roads a dangerous. we made up with ukrainian soldiers who have to collect fallen russian troops. a siding just outside hockey 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 helps to defend his city. he was born and raised in hockey. if starving though you, we handle all the fallen russian soldiers according to international law in the launching. those were not like magdalen thunderbolt, this is our land where we were born here seasonally. we were not going anywhere

else and we knew cool. do 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. think this will mussa gama, who only if we head to the ne, 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. mr. come on. grab a body bag, make it snappy. blue 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 that dead russian soldier must have lain here for some time. 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 body so far, sometimes under fire, it's 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 for the 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. were you so we killed them? what could be better? 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. made loses of the what very pleased with our mail carrier. like she is magnificent, friendly, polite, and educated to him and always deliver the mail on time to so dire. in reality, the fighting of it means the mail is delayed, but force fit lana. the fact that zoe delivers the mayor little in the midst of a war, make so deserving of the highest praise. though with the 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 books. breen, biologists are faced with a mystery and sailors, well there left wondering how they can stay safe jello. a sailor's worst nightmare. rado a full grown orca rams. a boat off the spanish coast. hm . the animal is strong enough to damage the sailing on or in the worst case to capsizing. 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 terrify. you'll get strictly developed from godfrey. suddenly i felt a jolting randasia 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. don't meek if whether vasa fears 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. will you believe i was? i work at one sort of years of leather. the marine mammals besieged the boat for about 2 hours. stretch 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. and suddenly i see a piece of the rod a 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?

i go to langley to something has been done to them. that is completely destabilized them e love b. it was as if they'd gone completely crazy on. yeah, look up at of the the port of cornell de la fontana. local said the competition for food is making. the orc is aggressive. the marine predators and the phishers are both hunting for bluth and tune up in the fight over the prey. fishers have injured orders 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 del article or get no guts to send the whale researcher, ezekiel under you prefers to avoid the word attack. he estimates there are only about 40 iberian ork is left, protecting this endangered species is top priority going on with it. but again,

we the facility very difficult to find the cause, got alongside the yoke, isn't telling us fiddle i shot out at 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 head. so they that i bought most of the sailors take little comfort in such explanations. they say scientists and authorities aren't doing enough to ensure the sailors safety. raphael martinez says the animals should be monitored with gps transmitters. if nothing is done, he peers one day an orca might be killed bundled, what could be that? i feel boat and your life are in danger, then 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. you probably will 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 schultz and ne hauff. the farmer feels that this trout 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 little 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. michelle, cuz i'm a student listing. i pulled some professional kin. we're is a recent arrival in eunice. 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 is a problem. oh and he has a sort of, it's gotten much, much dryer here, and we just don't harvest as much grain as we used to her make misery and we 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 if anything, one of 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 yet, 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, alley on earth, agricultural scientists, auto carvin coll also believes that the agriculture sector in germany needs to adjust to climate change. she contacted schultz and ne 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 with an architect me. it's time for action. elberton 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. oh so wait a minute and keep looking here as the thought. never flatter it. so it dried that we might have to consider a change on and make the switch from grains to chic piece and then because they'd probably cope with drought on 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 this? the oil is hot. wow. mar. with its feathery leaves, it would have

a key advantage in coping with drought. that howard air ivana. the do that gathers overnight inside here the an hour. the sessions can't even when it's completely dry, you still have a little bit of moisture guide and, and chic piece. of course i also have a nice deep root system. 3rd, as well to that as our country chief 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 dry that the yield for the grains he normally grows dropped by 20 percent. another sign that he's on the right track. food, you know, 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, jonas schultz and a half believed 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're looking for one last vacation the 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 to you. oh, deactivate data. their hotel at the gas station helps folks discover that it's a symbol of a world gone haywire war in europe, an energy crisis and high inflation. b as current slope as our disease. we think we also have a responsibility now we need to do something ourselves or not just laid 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 face 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. guess pay almost $330.00 heroes for one night at their 0 star hotel, a deliberate provocation, you say, so it is something that 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 learnings 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 weekly 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 are into the conflict zone with sebastian as rushing forward is advancing east of ukraine. here is warning alive, massively out gum. my guess is we come home on his record for bar,
