a station in the rain forest continued carbon dioxide emissions have risen again. young people over the world are committed to climate change doesn't happen on its own. make up your room, mind. w. 4 minds ah ah. this is focus on europe. i'm labriola. welcome. the war in ukraine is escalating after moscow fired

a barrage of missiles on areas far from the front line and ukraine. fear and uncertainty have now returned to places of relative calm and safety. while the latest attacks hit several civilian targets, russian president vladimir putin says the shelling is retaliation for the explosion on a key bridge, linking russia to the annexed region of crimea. even though it is still unclear who is responsible for that attack. the barrage of strikes destroyed a critical infrastructure across ukraine, water and electricity plants were hit, as well as residential homes for civilians. and the trauma of war is being compounded by worry over the coming months. winter is looming and in ukraine, temperatures often fall below 0 degrees celsius. many people now face the reality of getting through it without heat or hot water. rockets have been

raining down on harkey for months. and the apartment buildings in the eastern district of south africa have borne the brunt of it. lay on 8 lives on the 1st floor, the impacts of ripped through his apartment, destroying walls, furniture, the refrigerator. with his window panes gone, the wind blows right through the flat lay on it is trying to prepare for the winter woodward woodland motors. i'll figure something out and look around and make things pleasant and comfortable for myself. good afternoon. i might buy a sheet of metal, attach it here and make a hole in it. so i could set up a wood stove on the gym credit because you can cook on that. and when it gives off heat durgy about it, that would help lay on it be less dependent on electricity. when a russian rocket hit this power plant near harkey, his flat was also affected by the blackout. parts of the power grid and eastern

ukraine were out for hours. there was no electricity or running water and the subway in the city with more than a 1000000 residents stood still. so you theses grains, you hundreds of thousands of ukrainians were sitting in the dark without power out of school home hospitals, schools, these municipal infrastructure on russian rockets are aiming citrate or targeting that have nothing to do with our armed forces. infrastructure, seal, master desktop in presidents. so lensky is home town of cree, there each, a damn was severely damaged, several streets blooded, and the drinking water supply to the city of more than $600000.00 largely stopped working. russian attacks on critical infrastructure in ukraine are on the rise. the government thiers, the country, is facing its toughest winter since gaining independence in 1991. that's partly why

so much maintenance work is currently under way, like here on a sub station and the so low means key districts of key with the team from a local power great as preparing the capitol to whether the cold season they are very aware of potential attacks on the grid, the fuel with all these attacks keep up. there may be interruptions to the power supply for resident us and other consumers should. but we're preparing for that kind of scenario. the key thing we've put together plans and coordination with the, with the discipline ministration is good and the central energy system some tournament has. if that happened somewhere, we'll do our job with little what the good with the war has caused the countries energy consumption to plummet. much of the industrial sector has shut down, and millions of people have fled abroad. energy experts say ukraine is currently using 40 percent less than its average electricity and gas consumption. they said

the country is prepared for winter. not it was bad news, but we have enough gas reserves the shuttle and enough coal. yeah, we might even make a profit from sal empower, lifted on that if we can make it fine. other winter. it wasn't polluted zoom, but only if wrong. it's don't hit our infrastructure data collection such as are combined heat and power stations, nuclear scientists, or other power plant, something that wasn't shown. if they get head, they'll stop working, da, da, da. when it was the widget you shot this, there must be more that's part of the reason why the government is urging people to also independently prepare for winter. all of that in the home of lucia is running out of time. for house near hosta mil airport was hit half a year ago by a russian projectile. the only reason she and her family survived is because they'd already fled. yeah, for the cello, that 1st i cried a lot alcala. it was really hard for me because she knew bloating to my 14 year old son got up in the morning and said, mom highly, don't cry of old on the all rebuild. your house gets any on the pledge as it is due

to be hot. the wood to what they are currently staying at their neighbors, but in just 2 weeks they will have to return to their still unfinished house, which they been rebuilding with the help of volunteers. there is still no heating. no. oh yes ma'am. we need a boiler or a daily that either one that runs on solid fuel or electric little because we don't have any gas and we're not getting it back. i. e. e, one, they did, nobody so solid fuel or electric but, but they both cost money and cost of and that's really unrealistic for people who lost that everything's adelcia. nidia hadn't had linda. lucia is thinking about taking out a loan to protect her family from the cold. the war has stripped ukrainians of security. many households are tied on money, and millions of people are heading into the winter months plagued with uncertainty . italy is on the cost of

a historic change of government. the country is poised to have its 1st female prime minister once the results are confirmed and georgia maloney will also be italy's 1st far right leader since world war 2, she is crystal clear about her vision for the country. maloney is a champion for conservative family values and rejects the l g b q community one that monica and maria belong to a couple lives in sicily and maloney's victory has set off alarm bells for them. they fear the far right leader and her brothers of italy, party will be a threat to their family values. oh monica, saba comes from katana city in sicily. her wife maria harris, is from barcelona name at 15 years ago and described their meeting as love at 1st sight. shortly afterward, maria gave birth to her son pau with the help of a sperm donation. and 9 months later monica had her daughter mia the same way

out. you can taste it now and later. see by why such a big bone mendelson would you rather liquid off my fingers. now the election victory of the far right party coalition cast a cloud over the family, monica and maria worry about the future son almost. and for my daughter one, those are children are well aware of what's going on and on a and now when they hear the name, george maloney think it scared. i'm not, they asked us what would happen that not only reassured them, they shouldn't worry loudly went to that i'm in their children or alarm because of speeches like this one by georgia, maloney, the leader of the far right brothers of italy, party say no. yet each of the traditional family not thought out no, no to the l g b t lobby that day, the yet a sexual identity?

no, no, to gender ideology at all. yes, to the culture of life, ah no to the culture of death. a strong words which carry all the way to mount etna in cataneo. maria and monica fear hard times, lie head for families like theirs, and that the l. g. b t. q. community will face an erosion of civil rights under the new administration. me for po, delicate, don't elani a simple thought that george maloney scares me because so far she hasn't shifted her position enough for leaving. so i doubt that she will change them now only because and this goes beyond a political agenda. it's a precise idea of what society and politics should look like. shown. grande seymour, i fear that minority rights will see a make big set baggy the belly minot on say to something she both women work in academia. and they also worry that the aggressive rhetoric will poison the social climate. he found also one on both alcohol. the danger is that these things become

acceptable to that you can insult women or be openly homophobic without any consequences. if a man benefited an did during the election campaign, giorgio maloney tried to present herself as a moderate politician. but she made it clear that for her a family should only be one thing. we could have been rather leaky as far as the rights law. we're couples are concerned unit. there are already registered civil partnerships, and that is quite sufficient. jonah, whom i am against adoption rights for gay and lesbian couples. not because i'm homophobic as some say, but simply because children need a mother and a father and a stable relationship, which is what our current legislation already provide. us with moderates, benita, that our goal? yeah. a little bit of a the lentils, religion. shamia sucka is a professor at the university of rome. she studies political phenomena and has taken a close look at ga maloney as election campaign and at her political values. quinn, look at melanie sta, and her pain can be summed up with one of her slogan,

log on as i am a mother. i am a christian, and i am a woman. actually, this actually describes her and her parties, political culture on the ship. and we believe this will also be her guiding principle when she steps into office at it and kill us at san diego at him. professor soccer says this is also because the heart right party will have less margin to take action in other areas. she said, i'll now, since they have little room to maneuver in economic and foreign policy, the new government is more likely to emphasize identity issues. and sadie minorities could be used as pawns to make a political martin. what this means for monica, maria pau and mia is not yet foreseeable. if the situation worsens, the family already has a plan that a default, ah, a profit in young cal buyers federalists at all. if from the situation gets worse, if we're ready to move to another country for the safety of our children and our children, our top priority for

a lot of there may be willing to leave our home country for their rights and well beings. vasa and get that us video to me. monica's hope is that georgia maloney will not revert to social policies of the past, which discriminated against minorities. as such, a shift would significantly change the lives of her family and of many other italians who autumn may be upon us, but the traces of europe sweltering summer still linger. extreme temperatures left a trail of destruction across the continent with harvests withered rivers dried out . and forests scorched, but there is a silver lining for some europeans like those in frances champagne region. and quill producers of the sparkling wine are raising a glass to an exceptional year. and wine growers, cedric new se, is looking forward to an excellent champagne vintage

a. here in france, a champagne region, wine makers have waited all year for this moment. this is when they see whether all their efforts this year have paid off philip, which is mold in any poet. this is the product of our year's work. also cope with the great laura mills these next few days will decide everything. yeah. will. cuz i couldn't sleep allow you. nice little said to think must say is a 4th generation wine grower. he's convinced 2022 is an exceptionally good champagne vintage. your bomb police, police, there's no wrong. it's fantastic because it's february. look at it. he's an oxygen without the regular like caviar, if possible makes very good champagne. it's a great he, la golden. and this, although the champagne region along with the rest of europe experienced

a heat wave this past summer with record temperatures and drought go talk out. look, these grapes ripened without a drop of rain in 3 months. it's incredible. seizure's not quite great. finds actually pull water from deep in the soil, thanks to their long roots. when i get a gradual fits of all the routes are a problem for most farmers or not, but the roots of grapevines can grow 8 to 10 meters down. they get water from when it looked in the soil where there are also more nutrients and mineral. you are the more meaningful the over i'm off the soil impacts the grapes utilize. just imagine how they'll taste. you mentioned the other foam or jessica separately, happy wine growers though patience is needed. let's go back to the why in prison. it will take

3 years into the champagne is ready and they can taste it to see if it really is a great champagne subject. as of right now, this is grape juice, then the juice turns into wine and only then to champagne. well, it takes time to was on it. the more you this here. yeah, i hear juice. i am looking for if it has a complex labor with a fresh finish and a yellow fruit outside. the reason it's very nice. and excellent harvest after too bad ones. the price of champagne, however, won't be falling any time. soon spoke the submit. any of this year will balance out the past 2 less good year where they could pull you show reduction cost remain the same every year. but last year the harvest couldn't cover the causal, let me know who i probably could put, so i'm not sure champagne prices will drop. unfortunately for consumers i knew

missile. murder was all horrible. cilenzo said lake must say, will produce over 100000 bottles of champagne from this year's harvest. he sells to buyers around the world. i feel so helpful. this is 100 percent lonia. great variety. vintage 2017. a vintage that's peaked. this american wine buyers interest is a really cool to see though the beginning of it it's amazing compared to last year . there there's, it's just night and day. you know that the different. so we're all really excited. we're all related. the demand is quite high. i would say in new york, and as but in the world, i think it's becoming more and more more popular with marketing social media. last year, record amount of champagne was sold worldwide. said lake

must say, send 70 percent of his produce abroad. the bay for the 2 pallets are going to the us out. who to luxembourg we receive america is our most important market after brad said to like, ma say wants to stop exporting to russia because of the war in ukraine. even though this would mean a financial setback, or go south or well actually because you live to sell 5 percent of my products to russia, so round about by 1000 bottles per year, 2000. but this year, they're not getting any until things have a calm down show. suppose was all today. russia is trying to conquer a part of the world and we could find ourselves at more with them tomorrow. do mel players selling them. my champagne is out of the question to new la anymore they did with dave walker. well, this aside, wine grove, is here hope to sell 325000000 bottles of champagne this year, which would mark

a historic record. shaheen and albania is a growing tourist destination, located on the northern, adriatic coast, and living alongside the visitors are several 100 refugees from afghanistan, while they arrived at a resort after being evacuated from cavil by the united states. but what was supposed to be a brief stop over for jam, she'd act bari, has turned into an agonizing wait job. she ducked. barry always loved basketball. back home in afghanistan, he used to coach a women's team professionally. the income, comfortably sustained job sheet and his family. thus good. last your ball is my life and was my greatest passion. i'd reached a national level. i worked as a coach and coached a women's basketball team. basketball, the hostile bought the taliban band, women,

the herd or settlements on the valeca plan. nina, things run a little differently than down in the valley. for generations. they have been hurting towers during the summer months, according to their own rules and bellow my mush. 50 years ago, my husband brought me up here for the 1st time, and our children are now 50 years old. their children were here themselves. now. could i have been with them? i get up at 5 am now the cows cleanup and prep the mount before making the cheese. that that's life up here. the farmers are usually down in the valley, but from june to september they had up to the alpine past is when exactly that happens is decided by the herders parliament which meets in this building. and that's pretty unique, says robert zam leon, who runs a small restaurant, me him and one william, we call it a parliament with as if we were a small country out of here into the loom or seen a thin robert and his wife only served produce,

made up in the alpine pastures. this was also decided by the herd as parliament fashion. it would have usa, so report each cow, you get one vote now, you know, we have 6 cows out, so we have 6 boat sell. we boat on how to clean the pasture, where to fix the fences where to direct the water and which pads to repair things like that. i as though been novel with rights however come responsibilities cycle can i have on what is she in the summer? the herders have still claimed he work with the 8 hours of it per cow. do you that? but it a void. this blocked level, got the genders in this grassroots democracy. the herder with the most cows has the biggest number of votes, but also the most community duties. old customs remain, but the alpine pastor is changing. out of $64.00 huts, only 13 are still inhabited. tourists loved the seclusion, but what about the younger generation is my boy that the tourism will be here for a long time, but probably not the herders. yeah,

john will stay in the valley and go to school there. well, the hope is that a good community will encourage herders to return again next summer to this unique place in slovenia. well, at least they don't have to worry about energy prices. that's all from this. we get focus on europe. thanks so much for watching and bye for now. ah, with
