the country are now standing together, united in their morning for the beloved monarch with on, on this one queen. here she's the person we've always look to and he gets it because it's really touched me. and they see recruiting, and i think she's been such a great ambassador for the country really. and it's been a, a light for, i think with his country and us somehow she has always been there. only the elderly will remember a sovereign other than queen elizabeth the 2nd. during her reign, incredibly 15 pri, mendez just came and went. the queen was clearly an exceptional monarch who dedicated her life to serve her people. oh,

no head of state. no monarch has ruled as long as her in recent times. queen elizabeth the 2nd for 70 years, she was the one enduring element through times of dramatic change. ah, she was always disciplined and dutiful. elizabeth was born in 1926. 10 years later, her father ga send into the throne and elizabeth became a crown princess. and she took her roll seriously. i didn't catch it before you try her life, whether it be no short shall be devoted to your service and does the service arrive great imperial family. and she showed her dedication in the 2nd world war. elizabeth served in the military as an auto mechanic. then shortly after the war, she married naval officer philip mount, been

a year later she gave birth to prince charles the 1st of 4 children. her father, king george. the 6th died in february 1952. ah, the crown princess then became queen elizabeth the 2nd ad just 25 years old. and she may not have wielded political power, but she was a moral authority for many britain as a symbol of solidarity and the history of their country. elizabeth was crowned queen at a time when the british empire was losing its foothold. former colonies were gaining their independence. critics complain that queen elizabeth the 2nd never apologized for the injustices of colonialism. despite her many trips around the world. for decades, elizabeth let a discreet marriage, unlike some other british royals. in spring of 2021, her husband philip passed away. but the funeral was an intimate affair,

overshadowed by the coven pandemic. elizabeth sat alone in mourning and touched the hearts of millions. fans will also remember the scenes with her dear corgis, despite the strict ceremonial life of royal court. there were little moments when the queen showed other side and her sense of humour. i knew what you wanted. for health reasons, she was unable to take part in all the festivities for the platinum jubilee marking her 70 year reign. but she fulfilled her duties until the very end. 2 days before she passed away. she welcome to the new british prime minister. and now even critics of the royal family are paying the queen their respect for a life lived, serving her country. me now succeeding queen elizabeth is her eldest son, king charles. the 3rd has to accept the heavy burden,

the legacy of his mother. and he will have to prove that the monarchy in great britain is still relevant today. the very beginning of his reign force at a challenging time as the united kingdom is mired in a severe economic crisis. at his proclamation, charles said his mother was a role model for what lies the hit the ceremony as centuries old in on september 17th that will be seen again for the 1st time in 70 years. the prince jo philip, offered your become our only lawful and rightful leads. lord charles, the 3rd free chance res met the new monarch is cheered at this time under the watchful eyes of hundreds of cell phones, every one is anxious to share their experience of the dawn. of a new era. oh, moments before the accession council made up of privy counsellors and members of

the royal family had officially proclaimed charles king. as to this is the 1st time and has been broadcast, live on televisions. i shall strive to follow the inspiring example. i have been set in upholding constitutional government and to seek the peace harmony and prosperity of the peoples of these islands. ah. the queen had passed away on september 8th at balmoral castle in the scottish highlands, peacefully according to a statement by the palace. with the news announced that evening came the period of morning, both official and personal she was a wonderful, lately they should dedicate her whole life to the nation. i'm a control center for it. you know, she meant everything to, to me, my family and it is a sense community you know, loyalty, you know,

given back to communities following the queen's death, new prime minister list trust gave her tribute only 2 days before the queen had received her at balmoral queen elizabeth, the 2nd was the rock on which modern britain was built. our country has grown and flourished under her reign. britain is the great country is to day because of her. on friday, the crown prince become king returned to the capital to be closer to the people and was received with much warmth and goodwill. his 1st televised speech as king that evening was enlarged part devoted to his late mother. i know that her dis springs great sadness to so many of you and i share that sense of loss beyond measure with you all

now at age 73, he'll have to settle into a new role quickly and be ready to meet some heavy weather ahead. but in a royal family who have all too often found themselves at odds, it seems that morning may well have brought at least the younger generation together. for now, while parts of europe are showing deep, compassion, war continues in ukraine. for the moment it seems that crane and troops are succeeding in pushing rational formations out of some contested areas. but near the font lines and the don bass. it's hard for doctors and medics to care for all the injured soldiers. nurse for muska is on duty there. and has since achieved a level of faint awe. we're heading toward dawn. yes. can south eastern ukraine, a surgeon major at the military hospital ins? operation suggested we talked romantica, saying she is quite

a remarkable nurse. and that the troops love her. like a mother. we come to a field hospital about 20 kilometers from the front. were wounded soldiers get initial unseen care. she's expecting us. we have all promised. my name's romantica. i've been working as a nurse for 35 years. i'm here because i want to serve ukraine, fall and get away the wounded come here straight from the front. oh, i'm with a team of anesthetic insurgents care for the most seriously injured. often they don't even know who the patient is for us, but for some come with me to room 7 of the cut sigma. paula, you can rest up foresight. of course, we've also got some food for you. when can i go home too? i'll drive you home this evening. you know it daughter girls are me,

give him something to eat and drink that, but you can also give them some slippers socks, and a pair of pants, creditor there or did you get that to pull up? and i'll see you back here in 10 minutes. if so close to the nights, casualties arrive in the morning hours one after the other. this time i don't want to go to pain, nothing but pain. i try to comfort them with hey, honey, everything will be all right. you're just the best. if someone's crying i cry with him, i pressed him to my breast and tell him that all this will pass. vanka, i come once the most seriously injured have been stabilized, and the hemorrhaging stopped, and the broken bones set the wounded ursa to military hospitals, uns operation or the ne pro everything has to happen fast. the only thing we're

moscow takes her time with us are patients fears and worries that yet the water i much got here, the x rays. here's the picture of your bullet. whatever. i wish i could read x rays. don't worry, you'll see them soon enough. it's the die. you see the bullet, monica with him, but gary, what yeah, i see it now. this is from the other side. i want to go back with that right off a bit in the good thing is the bone wasn't injured off. the ukranian government has been extremely tight lipped about the numbers of dead and wounded estimates. one as high as $200.00 per day. but how much longer can the military take losses this high in spite of the sporadic gunfire during the night, the day dawns quietly. rameses relieved to day, she's got

a special appointment. la jolla been like almost like a little i met even here in the hospital before i saw the silent boy who can give me up. he had tears in his eyes. la. i went to him and asked latonya what happened? soldier. yep, that was, he answered hold up. my last brother died to day. i get from to day on i'm an orphan young. go to she wouldn't. i said, do you want to be my son was cuz a lot that went to but he didn't say let me think about it. but simply yes, i do voted you how does my dress look great? you're just as crystal that came in with your god. parents will help you will support you and show you the way that kimberly neil was still. yeah. let us pray for a good cause then with yes, fine. oh it, it evens hometown is just a few kilometers behind the front line. but until ukrainian forces exceed

a retake in the territory, his temporary home will be here. ah, they were going to go out to eat together. but a few moments later rameses are got a call. i left this is o leg. are you on duty with me today? oh maxime, less. okay, tell him to call me back. at $200.00 transport is come in. that's the code word for dead soldiers. they told me to come in right away. why stop here? justice? i'll change clothes quickly. my little fish. did you bring him to me? yes, my love. we need is not so much a matter of cleaning the bodies as it is giving the dead their humanity back some time for moscow says only body parts come in. then they tried to determine the identity of the dead using tattoos, moles,

or rings before they pass them on to their relatives. yada yada dulcie after napoleon, i'm paying my debt. who alone? i get on my knees and said, thanks god, while you were here, i was safe away, but my family was able to sleep under a peaceful sky. my. i was able to live in peace because you gave your life for me, for me and my children and their children. i mean, yeah, that's why i'm here. this is my story. at the end of september, italians will elect a new parliament that's ahead of schedule. as it follows, the surprised fall of mario drag is government in july and georgia. maloney, a right wing populous candidate might become the next head of government host. currently see her a front runner, yet her party brothers of italy has never openly dissociated itself from fashion in brussels. people have been watching italy and georgia maloney successful election

campaign with concern. because as in the city of fallujah, she often manages to score points with her dubious messages and make a final preparations are under way at piazza quite thrown of embry in parisha. this region was once a communist hotspot, but on this evening the spotlight will be on georgia, maloney. she's a top candidate of the populace. right wing party brothers of italy and her fans are going wild at us is not good. we're excited and look forward to her arriving here. and also jobs are the shower. georgia is more of a friend than a leader to us. you know, leadership annoyed georgia maloney is taking the stage. the 45 year old is considered charismatic, smart, and dangerous. and she knows just what her base wants to hear. she immediately goes on the offensive. she accuses the left of being aggressive and calls the

e u. n. capable of tackling the energy crisis. and she claims italy's last administration abandoned the people, but that she'll always put italians 1st. 7 the demo this began explain our stance on migration. they've told you lots of nonsense about equity by jana. wait for them with a shotgun. oh no, no way. i don't agree with that. a lot. yes i am. the right wing nationalist strives to appear moderate, but she quickly makes clear what she wants is simply, she'd like to see a more heavy handed approach to immigrants from the global south. i could an open or blair, they cause security issues, but you can't get the lefties to wrap their heads around, that loyal, loyal. they show solidarity with women who have been attacked as long as they are attacked by illegal immigrants for the little because then suddenly the illegal immigrant is more important than the raven victim, rushing a single on this, you know, but they don't have yolanda many of her fans can't get enough of her straight talk

. it doesn't seem to bother anyone here that many people in maloney's party are supporters of former dictator, benito mussolini. or that the flame on his tomb is her party symbol. it is on any thought yet. dot is in italy, we should welcome foreigners in that we must think about ourselves 1st. even if i feel an issue so passionate, so clear and comprehensible. even when she talks about complicated issues more than me. however, maloney's critics warn the right wing populist is impacting italy and its values. antonio pit genie is in the anti fascist organisation, a npi which has a long history. and he doesn't buy maloney's new moderate image. for us, she is never as grown away. celia are with us, is just changing really the be the phase of new makeup but is still with us. this is carliette in sardinia the next day and maloney is planning

a rally here too. oh no, the ho cmo law do won't be there. but he says he'll keep up to speed with how it goes. the sardinian entrepreneur runs a cafe and 4 little hotels on the island, but he's very worried. first came cove, it and now exploding energy prices. and he's disappointed by politicians. listening plainly thought, i will tell i read ministration. that's was entrepreneurs down both left and right about that we need a long term plan and we're not just year long campaigns. certainly. ah, maloney's agenda is relatively vague over all and her party has refused to play a part in any administration so far. but that might prove to be an asset because many italians want to see new faces in the cabinet. like mercedes who sign. she complains it's getting harder and harder to make an honest living in italy. i worked for a private cleaning company in the calorie club house,

but i'm also has got to to teacher at an elementary school say you need 2 jobs to make ends meet. and just to survive, to survive. it remains a mystery. what exactly george maloney has in mind. does she really intend to renounce her parties, post fascist heritage? we tried to ask her this monotony. are you going to evoke me of badges from you, but the candidate isn't interested in answering questions this evening. but once she's on stage a demonstrator confronts her despite all the security precautions, without having no way that i want the right to marry and adopt children. i. oh boy . okay. you want a lot of things. everyone wants something. it's hard to say whether the incident is real or staged, but l g b, t, q activists, definitely fear the far right nationalist. our fear here is that we would go back

in time and instead of going forward in terms of rights in terms of other type of progressive, that's kind of mindset. so we'll, we'll go back to an area that we, we fear. we invent the most young demonstrators protest again and again this evening while maloney finishes her rally under police protection. but that certainly hasn't put a damper on mercedes who size spirits. does it bother her? how protesters are maloney, a fascist sandra, if they call us dashes than just like george maloney. i don't care. and if a lot of italians feel the same way, the right wing populace has a good shot at becoming the countries next. prime minister they look quite otherworldly are only a few centimeters and size and seem to float and the water see horses certainly are among the most fascinating sea creatures. they feel particularly at home and dense

see grass beds, but it is precisely at this habitat that is now under severe threat, including in the mediterranean. the greatest danger comes from fishermen and their nets in southern portugal where the number of sea horses has declined significantly . marine biologist are doing everything to protect the small and sensitive animals as best they can. ah, see horses have captivated the human imagination for thousands of years. and many cultures see them as mythical creatures. one person enthralled by these small animals is biologist george palmer for the past 15 years, he had studied them here at the barrow marine research station in southern portugal . ah, i really that's the federal because they're so different, so interesting, so sensitive and they were present. so well there,

i thought that began like my role model for research. the station is located in ria formosa, a lagoon with designated protected zones for short and long snout at sea horses. this is an oasis. scientists have discovered more specimens here than anywhere else . but the sea horses are currently under severe threat as far as i know, the 1st, the researcher, they estimate those, i'm more than 1200000 sea horses in on a few. c, 4 years ago, there were estimating around 150000 quite a bit, the please. one problem is the fishing community, although it's far from being the intention of francisco molina and his colleagues see horses keep getting caught in their next the bay and i at, oh, they live in the see we on the and when the net gets close to the bottom and they get a tangled in it said vega, another fisherman brew. we can say sal lives on an island in the lagoon. he loves

the sea horses having grown up around them. he knows the areas where fishing is prohibited, but he also knows that there are those who don't respect the restrictions out. it will be the method again on my protect its own, starts close to where we are now and stretches all the way back. fairhope professional fishermen are not the problem. always pick of the ones we're fishing illegally, or we'll use dragnet to sort of marsh the same horses with her last good a year by your google, the through the mud. george, the biologist is looking for small shrimps for his see horse farm. to him, the issue is more nuanced. see horses becoming cart is understandable. a much graver problem is the destruction of this sensitive animal's habitat by the fishing nets themselves. the probably the legal fishing is mostly the i with i think addition it, sir, it leads to because they don't go there just once. they did all their one life and

the other night and so on and so on. so the i retired become vanish musically. this has led him to search for alternatives and experiment with artificial c. we'd together with his colleagues, he has already covered large patches than the lagoon. and by the looks of it, the sea horses are warming up to the new material. theories of go there, love it in an artificial thing. it's good for the story and then becomes natural because all other animals are colonized this hill sizes and made. and that's why we thought out of one of the official one according to fishermen, roo, we can say sal more has to be done. he once measures targeting the root of the problem, the illegal fishing in the protected zones. he thinks that many who enter do so unknowingly because they're unfamiliar with the area. the vi and similarly that as god is out florida. oh, you'd have to mark the areas louise to make sure no one goes in with her. but i

think god, it's not in the losing lou yoke when you have to book fair. i know my way around because i live here, missouri. one of them are, but if someone arrives a year from another region of portugal gold, they would be lost without signal. so, but with his thought is thought was forced. the idea with the buoys has also occurred to george palmer and his fellow scientist. they are currently looking for funding to set up a signaling system in the lagoon. for george, it's at least worth a try. the most important thing is saving the sea horses. if the animals by some means live, all for that does happen. the use appeared from here that be a major blow for the general conservation of the species. but now we are seeing some increase. so there is hope for the future. it's a glimmer of hope for a species that keeps captivating the imagination of humans, but is now threatened by their very actions almost everywhere in the world. not

only in their oasis and the rhea formosa lagoon. well that was our look at your bus and below the water this week. we'll be back with a new additional focus on your next week. you can find more information about our show on our website. i'll say goodbye for today and thank you for watching. on behalf of everyone here at focus on your ah, ah, with
