ah, its waters connect people of many cultures seen almost ra, enter for do korean drift along with exploring modern war styles and mediterranean youth. where has a history left its traces hearing their dreams. ready to this week? do you w 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 mountain it. 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, cut off because you can cook on that and 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 these, each 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, separate or targets that have nothing to do with our armed forces. infrastructure still nationally done up 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 largely stopped working. russian attacks on critical infrastructure and ukraine are on the rise. the government fears the country is facing its toughest winter since gaining independence in 1991. that's partly why so much maintenance

work is currently underway, like here on a sub station and the solo uminski 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 lisa tags and keep up there may be interruptions to the power supply for residents and other consumers. sure. but we're preparing for that kind of scenario that we've put together plans and coordination with the discipline administration and the central energy system. some tournament, if that happens somewhere, we'll do our job. that little ticket with the war has caused the countries energy consumption to plummet. much of the industrial sector has shut down, and millions of people have bled abroad. energy experts say ukraine is currently using 40 percent less than its average electricity and gas consumption. they say

the country is prepared for winter, not bad news, but we have enough gas reserves the shuttle and enough coal. yeah, we might even make a profit from cell empower, lifted on that if we can make it fine or the winter wasn't bluetooth zoom, but only if wrong. it's don't hit our infrastructure, body wash and such as our combined heat and power stations. nuclear scientists, or other power atlanta fancied the political if they get heads, they'll stop working. that is the one that was the would be shot. this must be more that's part of the reason why the government is urging people to also independently prepare for winter. all in that, in the form of lucia is running out of time for her house near huston mill 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, but the cello, that 1st i cried a lot alcala. it was really hard for me because he knew bloating to my 14 year old son got up in the morning and said, mom highly, don't cry all of all of the all rebuild your house, kitchen and the blush as it used to be hot. the will do 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. they lifted 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 they both costs money and cost of, and that's really unrealistic for people who lost everything. the duda nidia hadn't had linear lucia is thinking about taking out a loan to protect your 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 t 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. monica sub okay, comes from katana city in sicily. her wife maria harris, is from barcelona name it 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 when

ah, and you can taste it now and later. to see why such a big spoon momentum 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. so most and for my daughter won the st. our children are well aware of what's going on in lonnie. and now when they hear the name george maloney think it scared or not, they asked us what would happen that not only reassured them, they shouldn't worry loudly went to that on me and their children are 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 godaddy. no, no, to the l g b t, lab it day. the yes it is 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. we support allocate jones, alanna, sympathetic with george maloney scares me because so far she hasn't shifted her position enough for lead. and so i doubt that she will change them now already pika and this goes beyond political agenda. it's a precise idea of what society and politics should look like shown. grande, seymour, i fear that minority writes lucy, a make big set bang 80 feet. believe me not on say to something she both women work in academia and they also worry that he aggressive rhetoric will poison the social climate. c stand no. so when on both on the balls the danger is that these things become acceptable to that you can insult women or be openly homophobic without any

consequences. a man benefited an bit. during the election campaign, georgia maloney tried to present herself as a moderate politician. but she made it clear that for her a family should only be one thing, would 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 to whom 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, the benita that our goal. yeah. will hit bit of a, the lentils, religion, she menia 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. her pain can be summed up with one of her slogan logon as i am a mother. i am a christian, and i am a woman. actually,

this aptly 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 worse and the family already has a plan, that it is full bath, upgraded, and young cal provis is headless at all. if one 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. water 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 we say 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 mildred, any poet? this is the product of our year's work also cope with the grape lar mills these next few days will decide everything. yeah. will. of course i couldn't sleep allow you nice little settling. lucy is a 4th generation wine grower. he's convinced 2022 is an exceptionally good champagne. vintage. you're bound for live police. there's no rush. it's fantastic because it's fabric. look at it. he's an oxy. what was all the all right there like caviar, if possible makes very good champagne. it's a great he lug all them and this, although the champagne region along with the rest of europe experienced

a heat wave this past summer with record temperatures and drought cool. talk out, look, these grapes ripened without a drop of rain in 3 months. it's incredible. this is your stock lab. grape finds actually pull water from deep in the soil, thanks to their long roots. when agricultural fits of the routes are a problem, you are most farmers or not, but the roots of grapevines can grow 8 to 10 meters down. they get water. look in the soil where there are also more nutrients and mineral, you are the more meaningful ill them off the soil impacts the grapes wise. just imagine how they'll taste. you mentioned the l. a 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. i'm sure that as of right now, this is great juice. then the juice turns into wine and only then to champagne. oh yeah, 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. school school at the said been, any of this here will balance out the past 2 less good year. let me quickly show reduction cost remain the same every year, but last year the harvest couldn't cover the causal. lenny nuku, i bought a coupon, so i'm not sure champagne prices will drop. unfortunately for consumers i knew

missile. murder was local, cilenzo said, which must say will produce of her 100000 bottles of champagne from this year's harvest. he sells to buyers around the world. i feel so thoughtful. 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 a night and day. you know, that the difference. so we're all really excited. we're all related. the demand is quite high. i would say it in new york and as but in the world, i think it's becoming more and more popular with marketings. the social media. last year, record amount of champagne was sold worldwide. set late

must say sen, 70 percent of his produce abroad. the by 4 is the 2 pallets are going to the usa to, 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 sell stuff that will actually because you live to sell 5 percent of my products to russia. so round about $5000.00 bottles per year, 2000. but this year, they're not getting any until things have calmed down. she'll suppose what i'll do the day. russia is trying to conquer a part of the world and we could find ourselves at more with them to morrow. do mel players selling them. my champagne is out of the question with the new law, the multi with a full crew. well, this aside, wind grew, is here hope to sell 325000000 bottles of champagne this year, which would mark

a historic record gene 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 capital 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 jumps. she ducked. barry always loved basketball. back home in afghanistan, he used to coach a women's team professionally, the income comfortably sustained jam sheet and his family. thus good. last good ball is my life and was my greatest passion. i had reached a national level. i worked as a coach and coached a women's basketball team. basketball, the hostile bought the taliban band, women sports jam. she'd managed to flee afghanistan just in time. thanks to

assurances from the canadian government. but after a few weeks and cutter, he got stuck in albania as canada wouldn't take him in. he's now hoping for a us visa, but check, you know, that he shows us pictures of his family, who we had to leave behind. his twins are just over a year old. now. he hasn't seen them since they were newborns. then his wife calls buffalo me. i'm only am. i am giving a television interview. in brazil, i will talk about my problems. loneliness, the family of a bureaucracy ritual. you know, if i swear all i do here is wait, it, i'm all down with a soft mission. yak, sunday was ash over the past year. every one told me i had been extremely lucky.

because i was able to leave my country and reach albania, but in your iowa selection wal mart and that we are on route to canada or america venue. but i think i'm the unhappiest of all the unhappy people here who i live a physical home. but boston mass over a year has passed since us forces blue, thousands of afghans out of the country. following the taliban take over us agencies asked albania, a poor country to take in 2500 refugees. the refugees were brought to a hotel in the resort town of shen jean. their stay was supposed to be a stop over, but 700 afghans remain here, stuck among sunbathing tourists. with each day that passes the united states promised to take them in rings holloway. ah, anita ha, dari and her sister were active in afghanistan's women's movement for years. they can't go back while the taliban is in power. but there isn't a clear way forward for them either. said that should all i though i wrote

a shawn eve would get we were promised that all african refugees would be transferred from albania, to canada, and to call that were the u. s. you go within 2 to 3 month law beach dash that of mission after that up to date, that hasn't happened. those done a got and it makes us worry. a general it's rosie ham dusty. we asked the u. s. embassy and albania, for an interview. but we're told to contact the us state department in washington. but even though we did several times, we didn't get a response. we had for the albanian capital to ronna, to interview prime minister eddy rama albania. after all counted on the us taking in the afghan refugees i understand them, but the time is going and we don't have the feeling that the u. s. a ministration is processing them. we have the feeling

that they are here to stay. anyhow, they cannot so say for every middle t o m, they have to start to do life. how mania, however, is a poor country with high unemployment. those who can leave the afghan refugees are worried that remain stuck in albania. a few months ago, they staged their 1st protest and a ha, nita joined them to non christian will put it on me. been in as you can see, albania as a poor country myself because we enjoy greater safety here than in afghanistan. but the more that is all i me going im fucked up as, as refugees. we have no opportunities for education, employment with you or any other kind of development in this country, which is in india as lenin composition. nice job sheet has almost stopped carrying . all that matters to him is reuniting with his family. valet teddy us off on a sana, i fled from afghanistan, where there is a war going off real on,

i'm nym. this when new, who half of all people there one is on have no perspective, no work, the quality will and or poor father, lines me. but on bali, even these circumstances, life is better in albania, love. and i would say shot, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, bloom, albano formula medea even so jumps she'd still dreams of making a new life in the us together with his family. but with each passing day, his hopes slowly faith, slovenia is a country known for its breathtaking landscapes. among these is the mountain resort, valeca plenty now is less than an hour's drive from the capital lube liana. but in many ways, it's worlds away from the city. there's no running water or electricity, but there is a parliament one where cows have political influence in the herd. her settlements on the delicate 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 a 5 a m. melt the cows clean up 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 as well. and that's pretty unique, says roberts, on leon, who runs a small restaurant. ma'am, on one william, we call it a parliament with as if we were a small country up here, into the liam or seen him. robert and his wife only serve produce,

made up in the alpine pastors. this was also decided by the herd as parliament, passionate but of usa says, report each cow, you get one vote now, you know, we have 6 cows out, so we have 6 boat, so we boat on how to clean the pasture was where to fix the fences. where to direct the water and which pads to repair things like that. i as the open novel with rights however come responsibilities cycle. can i have a much shit in the summer? the herders have still 3 mighty work. 8 hours of it per cow. do you that but 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. tourist loved the seclusion. but what about the younger generation? is my boss. emp, 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 focused on europe. thanks so much for watching and bye for now. ah ah, with
