in architecture, ah, why are they so invisible to the larger public? we decided to ask them, what is the poetry the secret of the house i'm home about their struggles and dreams. for the responsibility is hugely has so much to leave. shattering the glass ceiling. women in architecture to smooth this has to be really, really good. start september 30th on d. w. ah . hello and welcome to focus on europe. it is good to have you with us. we're more than half a year now into russia's war on ukraine and for president vladimir putin. things

have not worked out his plant. his troops are now on the defensive. ukrainian army is reporting new games in territories in the east and south of the country. and to supply the kremlin with a fresh batch of soldiers to send to the front lines, putin has ordered a quote unquote partial mobilization of forces in russia. this would mean hundreds of thousands of additional soldiers, enough put in hopes to turn the tide of war in his favor. but forcing more russians into military service with some going directly to the front lines is an appalling prospect for many citizens. including mikhail, a young man living in moscow. he does not want to fight against ukraine and he is resisting being drafted as a reservist. he's one of the many people protesting putin's policies in his homeland. and mikhail does not plan to leave the country quietly. ah, no to war these protesters shout,

hundreds of demonstrators have taken to the streets of moscow to protest hooton's partial mobilization. many have been arrested by authorities and brought to police stations on greece among them with me. i yields a 29 year old musician and podcast her. he says he spent 6 hours in custody. the police tried to force him to find a draft notice or to join the army in as a with me. are you? yeah, but a shoulder walk on the phone with their bowling. ask her if i was brought to another room. ha boys. there were several men there. ha dois too were policeman, base and 2 were in plain clothes in him. they locked the door from the inside and started telling me i was a nobody. and as i part of the clunk, there's not that enough clue which a boy put me down rather showed me around and even quickly at elk i'd behind dasa most of his i had to get through that 1st, but i didn't the, and i'll post, i made it out of the station without signing anything, i think corporate up our call. now i'll just have to wait and see what happens as

a dash of it. and this since his detention mikhail has been staying with a friend, he hardly goes out in order to avoid the police. he could be called up under the partial mobilization order because he completed his military service. but he says he's been against the war since the very beginning, yet. newkirk oil open. there's no way that i'll be drafted from our bill is i'd rather be sent to a penal colony than to the war habits of colonial chem, the lionel. mike, you rush us military has suffered huge losses in ukraine. moscow is banking on fresh troops. officially, authorities have called up 300000 men with military experience. but critics say the draft is more universal and arbitrary, especially in provincial regions. men without basic training are scared of being drafted. like this warehouse worker. you are diskin, nauseous, livingstone, they're telling us just go arc, we don't care whether we ever combine criticizes. you was just cannon fodder.

what's that? a goal of this mobilization is to stuck up on cannon fodder as when with quantity from that since the quality isn't there, which is podcast or mikhail and moscow says he doesn't want to flee abroad though. even if staying in russia means taking a big risk or of age of lead. yeah. prosper. are part of the building in that i feel something like an inner drive. anything else that i with a young actual i don't like what's happening here, shot and i want to fight back, thaw on stay there. i think there is still the property, but if nobody stays here and russia and there will be no one to change anything, think i was going thought miss marston taught me how you intend to keep taking to the streets, to protest against hooton's more even if he and fellow demonstrators could face up to 15 years in prison for doing so. the war against ukraine has also become an economic one,

primarily between russia on the one side and the west on the other. russia has stopped, or at least very severely restricted gas deliveries to europe, and the e u has announced it will block most russian oil imports by the end of 2022. but just off the coast of greece, canker owners appear to be shipping higher volumes of russian oil than before. the war began. it's daybreak off the coast of the peloponnesian peninsula. the doris shone. toyota is out with his reporters, united colleagues, a network of investigative journalists. they're heading to the laconia and gulf to document ship to ship or asked. he has transfers of russian oil out in international water. so we asked about as united a lot of being a drug of is the use and about as the s, which is the transmitter of oil, wasn't fuels from one that. thank you. glenn of a, i've got

a bay russian invisible ukraine, a well seen of the back to god a local as this transfers have been ag conducted in this area, which is a god using online marine traffic tracking. the report has had been logging these s t s transfers in the laconia and gulf for weeks. most of the tankers carrying russian oil arrive via the black sea. the e u has closed its ports to russian merchant ships as part of it, sanctions packaged with them. and by the end of the year, it's set to completely banned the import of russian oil. as they approached the tanker, the investigative journalists see signs that a 1st oil transfer is imminent. one tanker is already dropped down those huge blue mike vendors. they prevent the 2 tankers from bumping into each other during the transfer to other tankers are already in the

middle of an oil transfer. the one on the right is taking on the russian oil and belongs to a greek shipping company. according to the journalists, greek ship owners in particular, have been making money off of russian oil, also without disclosing its origins. very said high bulk changed what a gardening received. the greek ship owners waits a all the local channels stated. somebody saying that the war is bad. the russian war in when his bonds bought this is dennis lee the a continue. it runs varying eh, dealing with a ross 100, wasn't. she was all over the world. the ship owner say these operations aren't illegal since they take place in international waters. we asked the union of greek ship owners for an interview, but they refused. opposition. politicians don't think the ship owners are doing anything wrong and they say greece can't pursue sanctioned violations outside of it . see borders the you would have to take action off the oil for

a mule. she had not going to grace. it's going to hold you to. oh, so it's so the problem to the hans ofa united so for now, huge quantities of crude oil continue to be transferred between tankers. off the southern tip of the peloponnesian, that makes environmentalist your goes to dow tacos nervous and not just because this region is a breeding ground for sea turtles. wilma, the british author, all were afraid of a tank or spell and all that would contaminate this whole area was oil. can i get the therapy? we live off of tourism nature in history? we don't have any industry or significant agriculture. a, still an oil spill would destroy everything we have, his watch obtainable safety figure. if occasion,

rental owner also expresses concern about a possible oil spill. and what that would mean for her business. talk about a mouthful of what the f bomb my vacation rentals only just got finished in this past year. when i'm, when we're struggling with damage from wildfire zone would be a bit of an oil spill, now would be an ecological and financial disaster. he gave me a better reporter. so doors, yano says that greek media are largely silent about the ship to ship transfers of russian oil, which is sold on the global market to him. this lack of reporting isn't surprising . owners control the media in many ways. maybe they have advertisement, maybe the upstairs of the media, and i think that they're so far in political them. so the media avoided reporting

on them. the journalists therefore, keep up their investigation. the transfers continue after nightfall, indirectly pumping money into moscow's war chest. meanwhile over in britain, countless citizens pockets are getting emptier and emptier high inflation and high energy prices are ripping huge holes in many households budgets and more and more people in the u. k. are finding themselves no longer able to pay their gas or electricity bills. many feel abandoned by politicians like natasha and gary waterhouse, who fear the coming winter, lincolnshire in england's midlands. this is the village of morton, where carrion natasha waterhouse left cancer surgery left natasha severely disabled . gary quit his job as

a taxi driver to look after her. he shows as their gas and electricity bill these to pay the equivalent of 36 year a per month. now it's over $200.00 for the price hikes loom and ottoman winter south of michael plans, of which rooms we can hate at the moment. i mean, it might be a case of just where of layering up and then of say, having blankets around, it's to keep warm the receiver one of payment from the state equivalent to around 1200 euros. but that won't be enough. they have to be frugal with groceries and stick to budget supermarkets. pluses come up astronomically, with shopping smarter, and i'm doing a lot of batch cookin, so we have meals in the freezer for the coming weeks. inflation and britain has reached a 40 year high at over 10 percent low fat milk, for example, is 34 percent more expensive than it was last year. with energy prices tripling or

quadrupling, hundreds of thousands of people are at risk of so called fuel poverty. to help those need william a grunt confounded a food bank. so he says to her, even more people coming than during the corona, virus pandemic, from unemployed to employed to self employed, people all are in need of donations. sometimes a food we don't have enough. and we have to send families away with, with no food. and for you see our mom or dad, dad, it said and you don't have enough food to make dinner or drink shop for sometimes stuff. rolland is ill and could no longer work. so he doesn't know how he'll feed his family. it's a big roller coaster and i've

a son and the wife and it is very difficult to not to survive on. their biggest worry is about the coming winter when they'll have to start heating is very, very fearful because you're just thinking about how you going to get the money to keep ball. how you going to get the money to buy the food? which why is it gonna go through the dog or heating? i think is gonna be very hard for us. yeah. yeah. we try to leave clack. people move the pursed are being hit, the hardest by rising costs, but the middle class is affected to over northern england. susanna and dave morgan live near york with their 2 daughters. their electricity bill has tripled and a liter of fuel cost equivalent of $2.00 euros the family as having to restrict or spending. also when it comes to the kids were quite rural. everything that we want

to do is a distance away. so if they want to go swimming for the swimming lessons, history lessons plus the petrol to get there. the couple run an online subscription service for hi and coffee. they were, the crisis will hurt their business. why pay the cost of in crisis is made everybody think about what they're spending. so we are look, she item and has people might look at as in their bank can sail. i'm not gonna buy that coffee, especially as the cost of coffee has risen all over the world. susanna now sells a 500 grand bag of coffee beans for 19, instead of 17 pounds. let me patella, pass it to our customers. we also moved our staff t, v, a living wage cause we understand that they have to pay their fuel, their electricity, their rents. many of the businesses are reluctant to raise wages at this time, sparking labour protests to run the country. to day trade unions and left when

groups are staging a protest event at a club in london's battersea district. with the motto enough is enough. they want to fight for fair wages. well as the movement building people are really angry, the cost of living sitting up in the u. k. and politicians on neither side, both sides of the plan for doing nothing about it. over $113000.00 britons have already joined the campaign, vowing to stand off to major corporations, had lawmakers. they all look up to mich lynch. his rel union has led stripes that brought large parts of britain to a standstill. the working class is by a day to day and we refuse to be able every want to be a good thing. until recently natasha and gary supported the

conservatives. but the party is deeply disappointed. they're not looking at the individual people who are like the lower classes, middle classes. they're the ones that come to suffer. the scribbling looks themselves and the not focusing on the true thing. that's the photos, the people of this country. people like natasha and gary waterhouse and hundreds of thousands of others who have no idea how to get through this winter. the canary island of la palmer is also known as the east le bonita, but the huge volcanic eruption that began one year ago and lasted for 3 whole months has left parts of the beautiful island. a desolate lunar landscape, many lost their houses and their livelihoods. but the islanders loved their home and rather than despair, their confronting the blackened landscape cautiously to rebuild their lives on

a changing island. farmer victor beneath is driving through a cold lava field. he says it pains him to be on this makeshift road. that meant that he would come up. awesome. look when i see my mother were driving over a banana plantation, i used to own okay. look for say what else? what have you been? hello. that in effect, any the, i can still see some of it to the right the that's what's left of a ton of middle log out with it on the bus or what is there a warning signs along the road telling people to keep off the ground as this can be up to 70 degrees celsius hot. it was one year ago that the volcano on the canary island palm began erupting the lava, burried, $4000.00 buildings, roads, and banana plantations. thousands of families on the palmer and

a living from banana farming. in december, the volcano finally stopped erupting, but many problems remain. that in that, i'm a little beach. this is our problem now with some english and the faculty learn you left on the ground. i didn't get also on the plants. and it took a problem in a year now, and you can see what still there of, you know, you see the problem we're going to have all, or now it's fine. i did a one, but we have to prevent the dust from penetrating into the plants using bags at the thought given. all right, next to the plantation, there's another problem. after the eruption experts observed gas escaping from the ground. even now, the area around puerto mouse has to be blocked off the fire department, let us accompany them as they take measurements. our team has to keep a safe distance. you can't come in here. all the readings are too

high. ah, the seo to concentration as high as close to the ground, the firefighters explain this means children are especially at risk. yet the real risk is an outside. but inside buildings, residents are only allowed to enter for 2 to 3 hours to retreat belongings from their homes and businesses, and they need clearing from the fire department. we meet the technical director a few blocks away. he promised us that old boy was it? yeah, no, but when i went there for an hour and nothing happened, lesson at african, but i know health problem isn't on this was as his stomach was to learn to read someone's spent 24 hours there highlighted day and night. no one can guarantee they will be ok, mclelland itaralde or the 2nd thing. some locals refer to deserted puerto. now's as little chernobyl. there are thousands of vacant hotel rooms on the palmers west coast, all off limits due to the gas these hotels might otherwise have had

a good season. as the volcanic eruption has attracted a high number of tourists. the tours of the volcano region are in high demand and in the summer of 2022. the palmer actually surpass projected visitor numbers. and i would like to come to see the island on the erupt and brought it to our attention it. it hung up, it is a very different experience. echo mo, it's like walking on another planet. will know a planet that only trained guides are allowed to take tourists near the volcano as the area is still dangerous. even if no russian is expected any time soon, established melodies, who monitors the volcano? when i get a little i get a little bit of dc. so i didn't have this is diana one up at all. and we're going to police one reg factor is the terrains instability here from that in a pool, it cooled off quickly, which means that the ground still emotional, they're not alive yet. and the are the gases in the volcanic comb with us in the

corner? yeah, they're not being emitted in a stable waste when they machinist levels can change and suddenly shoot up in that in a month, plus the of the high temperatures lower. yep. and it must have been put us out us like further down on the makeshift road to the lava field. it's been a year since eruption began, and many problems remain. the steady stream of tourists brings hope to the economy, at least. and hope springs eternal, as they say, in an unlikely turn of events. hope is also re emerging in a small town. deep in the forest of finland. felucca is home to fewer than 3000 people and its been dealing with a shrinking population for years. the village seemed doomed, but now these 2 men, santeria and that was scurry, have taken that dark outlook and given it a kind of twist. both are self professed pessimists,

yet instead of wallowing in that attitude, they choose to celebrate it. and their town. ah, this pub closed long ago. and all that's left of this shots inventory are 2 chairs. as you enter town, there's a sign that reads you are entering polanko. there's still time to turn around. ah, polanko is a small dine town in the middle of finland with the remaining population of just 2400, most of whom are over 60 young people tend to move away from poor lanka. but these 2 are staying true to their home town or scottie and san teddy of the local pessimists society. and it's their pessimism that's raised hopes for a new beginning. oh we are,

we have accept the fact that we cannot read why it's not something we you know seattle side of all did we try to find the funny side of it? so didn't come. we can joke about with the law and he said, who's as a business, you should be like like this? yeah. why, why, why, why, why are you gonna, why you couldn't smile? you are pistols. and it's precisely these 2 self professed pessimists who brought some cause for optimism to polanko. the pessimists. cafe does good business tourists buy t shirts and buttons with pessimistic messages in the shop. next door, we go ex extra it together with friends, oscar. he also made self deprecating and ironic music videos about polanko. the 2 pessimists had brought a small town a cult following in finland, movies. you know,

it's funny, typical finish jamiracle for my life by even at variables i'm honored on a lot is a t shirt says that i'm cross today a lot and that's okay to make it a social security. just informed me that my pensions to be raised 3 percent tequila . that's 2 whole more euros a month music. and like i said, yeah, cool. go with the facts. speak against a bright future for the town. the population has dropped by over half since the 1980s. and every year it falls a bit more. the town still has its schools, day care centers and a retirement home. the question is, who still wants to live deep in the forests of finland? lake, but it's mayor says, nature is precisely what makes polanko so great. on the pessimism campaign has only enhanced the popularity of his town. he's convinced that soon the population will start increasing again. now will relieve that more and more people will want to

move to areas, withers, pristine nature, lots of room to live latin and we've got plenty of room and they need to be exact. we have one square kilometer personally, so you don't have to worry about the neighbors does blow out to us 8 than make it the highest and all retirement home, right? boss, kitty and santa, the actually insist that they're among the happiest people in polanko right now. and in the world, happiness report, the fins have been named the happiest people on earth for the 5th year in a row. i think the pessimism thing fits really well in the people don't expect a lot, so they are happy with laser. and if we truly had like very serious problems, maybe we wouldn't do fun, things like pessimism and put our time and effort to it may be research like do something else. mm. pessimism has become polanko trademark, but will that preserve it from its demise?

at least its people are giving it a go with a touch of optimism and a good chunk of humor. well, if all else fails, laugh, that's it for me and the team here at focus on europe. if you miss parts of our show, you can find more information about it on our website. thank you for watching today . take care and until next time. ah. with
