counter offensive. the ukrainian army has an, a matter of weeks liberated numerous areas that had taken russian troops months to capture. but on the new front line, the situation remains critical. russia is here to stay. that was the slogan, just a matter of weeks go here in coupons. as russian officials handed out passports in the end, the russian flag came down faster than any one could have imagined. but the russian army hasn't gone far. in fact, you can hear its artillery every few minutes. just a few kilometers away. even before the shelling stops, graham prosecutors of fine coming. what remains of this police station where russian troops had that base looking for evidence of potential war crimes love which i thought to look this up with what i had. so right now we're collecting evidence brought the more law, some of the things we're looking for can be lost over time, but i'm with them go here that i'm with cape. what we're looking for. dna traces mother should fingerprints similar to that and also documents. second model,

i am likely she'll, she'll be home. the thought that the russian departure was so hasty, the investigator tells us, many of the soldiers left everything behind even their passports. out on the streets. ukraine troops out number the locals. many residents took the 1st opportunity to evacuate its ukrainian forces returned. those that remain, keep a low profile. tell us the fighting seems to be getting worse and come up with the helicopter. herb ahead was no ukraine, as everyone around us assumed it was russian. ah, many locals, life is actually getting harder in practical terms. recent shelling the scene lose 1st power than running water. now guess you know we've nowhere to go. our parents are gone and the situation isn't much better where my sister is in har

kiefer. as long as our apartment block is still standing, will stay, but it's not heating or water. the people here miss most is mobile phone coverage. hottest thing ludmilla tells us is not being able to check upon family. come on out of school. sometimes service comes back long enough to say a couple of words to each other because of what you end up crying together. more than ashley speaking. you have a dish approach. my husband has 2 kids and her have. we have no idea how they're doing a fidel, good ukrainian officials promised phone service me back in the much of days, although they called promised though is anything resembling life, as it was before february 24th. and the russian invasion, a few hours of to relieve kapinsky news comes through of 4 adults and a teenager wounded in yet more shilling. ah, for russian president vladimir putin, the war of aggression against ukraine is not going his plan. that's why he has

ordered an immediate partial mobilization of 300000 troops. but resistance is growing. many russians don't want to cooperate. no, to warn the shout. hundreds of demonstrators stick to the streets of moscow to protest hooton's mobilization. authorities arrested many of them on greece. among them was mikhail, a 29 year old musician and bought costa as vso, as he says, he spent 6 hours in custody whistler, during which the police tried to force him to sign a draft notice yet, but a shoulder wore on. i was taken into another room. there were numerous men there. 2 of police officers, another 2 were in plain clothes. they locked the door from the inside and then began telling me that i was nobody. the humiliated me shoved me around and even

kicked me off. i had to endure it all in the end i made out without signing anything right now. i'll just have to wait and see what happens of our call or a what bucher. as a dash of it and dash. since his detention mac has been seeing that the friend he hardly goes out to white police, he could be called up for the mobilization because he has completed his military service. but he says he has been against the war from the very beginning. we're going to call you all there is no way that i will be drafted. that is all. i would rather go to a penal colony, then go to warn, you shall know angle. just as military has reportedly suffered, heavy losses in ukraine, moscow hoops fresh to fl, change its fortunes. officially 300 pounds, an expedient soldiers have been called up. but critic, faith job is considerably more universal and more arbitrary, particularly,

and provincial regions. men without basic military training alfredo being sent to fight like this warehouse worker or his galoshes. they say to us just go are but they don't care whether we come back some day where just a cannon fodder. the goal of this mobilization is to stock up on cannon fodder and wind with quantity since the quality isn't there yet. oh judge thought costa mikhail in moscow says he doesn't want to flee abroad, even if it's risky, staying and rush out. the answer will go of asia, let the opera, i can sensing something inside me. a sense that i don't like what's going on here. and i want to defend myself or but i think this still hopefully as well. but if no one stays in russia by then, no one can change anything. i think i was going thought a miss marcial traveler is dealt. mikhail wants to continue deacon to the streets

to protest against bolton's war. even if he and his fellow demonstrators could be up to 15 years behind laws for doing so. ah, in a refugee camp for asylum seekers in the north east of the netherlands, the situation is dramatic. hygiene is poor and there are far too few places to sleep. for far too many people, people have started to protest, exploring the dutch government to look for solutions. this makes shift camp has sprung up outside a migrant reception center in the netherlands. these people are here to apply for asylum, but the facility which can accommodate up to 2000 people is to full to house them. so they are camping outside. this man recently arrived yet. he told me he is stranded. no, ma'am, this is susan. susan. how long without

a word known of nowhere to move once asylum seekers, all granted refugee status, many are unable to find a place to live and have to stay in refugee centers. but these were intended only as temporary accommodation for people awaiting decisions on their asylum application. in late august, this place made headlines when it emerged that up to 700 people was sleeping outside in poor conditions. it prompted humanitarian groups to step in. we are here to help and her, her, we see that a lot of people can get the medical attention they need. so we found our duty to come here and, and to help out. people are sometimes with more than $8000.00 people under one of the tents are laying a very close to each other,

using same leg is et cetera. so all these skin diseases can go over from want to jada very easily. the dutch prime minister said he was ashamed of the situation here. his government announced a raft of measures including tasking. the military with setting up a new camp to house asylum seekers. it's also rained in refugee family reunions and halted a deal with turkey to take in a 1000 migrants. and yet it's incredibly depressing and also shameful that in the netherlands, such a well organized, wealthy country ravages, have to, i'll be sleeping and living here in these conditions. this chaos here is the effect, not because there's too many refugees coming. it's because there was long time of budget cuts and scaling down capacity for refugee protection. we especially have to take care of that. across the netherlands. are all different municipalities really contribute to show solidarity by taking refugees?

this is one crisis in one country. but similar and even worse scenes, can be seen in other e u nations. the european union can't quite get a grip on how to deal with migration. and that's leaving people who are seeking refuge, vulnerable. ah, our last trip is to berlin on the deck of a moving ship. the ensemble of the berlin state ballet has invited us to a very special performance. the dancers had to overcome quite a few challenges. ah. in august that weather meant that this was a base dance tool had to be postponed, but in september, everything was just right. with some late summer sun, an audience, the varied program as if it happened that we did that last year for the 1st time in the context of the pandemic. where we said we want to go outside to the guest.

because nobody could come to us in the theater. and then it was so successful, i sort of like a little love parade here in berlin right here in berlin. and this year to hundreds followed the one and a half hour show. the 50 dances showed excerpts from their repertoire, including sequences choreographed, especially for the ship, like this one called following the path. ah, ah, normally the dancers to have the special floor where they're dancing, jumping, so didn't hurt themself. unfortunately, he on the stage we don't have that and then we put the material on what we are dancing, but not what is under the material. so we have to avoid those, this kind of jumps and to recap 3 eggs which we are doing on the studio,

or don't the normal stitch that we don't get injured the band arenas from the classic swan lake, also avoided point dancing or big jumps. keeping that balance on the swaying floor was enough of a challenge. ah, is really counted as long as the difficulty i would say is to find a focus and not fall over the mile of a. normally when you're on stage and in the studio up on my you always have a fixed focus point to go by this recent on nothing wrong and all that blurs in the background. here allison hintock, one. the audience didn't notice any kind of such irritations. in fact, it was the reverse. they saw a great performance, which simply inspired a passion for dance. ah,
