oh, well come to take, told me about relies between your systems computers and government there go crazy for your data. we explain holdings, technologies work, how they can go. so that's how they can also terribly watch 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 to make things pleasant and comfortable for myself. good afternoon. i might buy a sheet of metal attached 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 dirty about it. that would help lay on it be less dependent on electricity. when a russian rocket hit this power plant near har, keep 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 ho, my hospitals, schools, these municipal infrastructure on russian rockets are aiming straight or targeting that have nothing to do with our armed forces. infrastructure seal, master desktop in presidents. so lensky is hometown of cree bearish, a damn was severely damaged. several streets flooded, and the drinking water supply to the city of more than 600000 largely stopped working. russian attacks on critical infrastructure in 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 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 residents and other consumers. sure. but we're preparing for that kind of scenario that we've put together plans and coordination with the municipal administration and the central energy system some tournament if, if that happens somewhere, we'll do our job that 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 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 it was bad news, but we have enough gas reserves the shuttle and enough coal. we might even make a profit from cell in power lifted on that if we can make it fine or the wind moisten quickly to zoom, but only if wrong. it's don't hit our infrastructure data collection such as are combined heat and powers that a shot nuclear scientists or other power atlanta, something that wasn't sure if they get heads, they'll stop working dot it. when it was the widget you shot, this has been more that's part of the reason why the government is urging people to also independently prepare for winter. and that in the home 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 she knew bloating to my 14 year old son got up in the morning and said, mom highly, don't cry all over the dumpster,

all rebuild your house, get to the and the blood as it it looked 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. 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 cost money and cost of, and that's really unrealistic for people who've lost that. everything's a doza, nidia, and i'd 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 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 and you can taste it now and later. see by why such a big spoon to get our medicine, 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 to 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 and think it scared. i'm not, they asked us what would happen that not me. reassured them, they shouldn't worry loudly went to that on the end. their children are alarm because of speeches like this one by georgia, maloney, the leader of the far right brothers of italy, party. so no. yet each of the traditional family not thought out. no, no, to the l g b t lobby that day. the yet it 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 jones, i long as sympathetic with georgia maloney scares me because so far she hasn't shifted her position enough for leaving. so i doubt that she will change them now already beaca and this goes beyond analytical agenda. it's a precise idea of what society and politics should look like shown. grande, seymour, i fear that minority rates will see a make big set baggy the berlin me not on say or something. she both women work in academia and they also worry that the aggressive rhetoric will poison the social climate. she found also went on the little thing called the danger is that these

things become acceptable to that you can insult women or be openly homophobic without any consequences. from and been refuted, anyann did 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. it would have been widely leaky as far as the rights law. we're couples are concerned, and you know, 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 i go up. yeah, a little bit of it and, and australasia. 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, logs,

and as i am a mother, i am a christian, and i am a woman. actually, this aptly describes her and her parties, political culture. and we believe this will also be her guiding principle when she steps into office at it and kill us or to maybe go, 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 a default, ah, a frustrated young cal buyers, if endless at all. if somebody ration 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, beginnings, 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 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 more than any poet. this is the product of our year's work also cope with the grape. lar mills these next few days we'll decide everything. yeah. won't question. i couldn't sleep allow united alone. said to like, ma 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 on oxygen without the regular like caviar, if possible makes very good champagne. it's a great the 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. going down to look, these grapes ripened without a drop of rain in 3 months. it's incredible. this is your stock weapon. grape vines actually pull water from deep in the soil. thanks to their long roots. when i graduated, several, the routes are a problem. your most farmers will not let the roots of grapevines can grow 8 to 10 meters down. they get water when it looked 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 yellow foam or gasket supposedly 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 test it to see if it really is a great champagne. i'm sure, as of right now, this is grape juice, then the juice turns into wine and only then to champagne. well, it takes time, goes on it, the more you a this here here here, 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. let me quickly show reduction cost remain the same every year, but last year the harvest couldn't cover the causal. la nina. cool. i pretty cool. so i'm not sure champagne prices will drop unfortunately for consumers i knew

missile key motor was one portable cilenzo said lake 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 full, so this is 100 percent loan. yeah, great variety, vintage 2017 a vintage that's peaked. this american wine buyers interest is a really cool to see though the beginning and it's amazing compared to last year. there there's, it's just a 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 it in new york and, and, but in the world i think it's becoming more and 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 before the 2 pallets are going to the us out. who to luxembourg arethia america is our most important market. after brenda said, to think, ma say, wants to stop exporting to russia because of the war and ukraine. even though this would mean a financial set back or go sell stuff, it will actually be high. 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 calmed down. so suppose was all due today. rush as 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 with a new lawyer, multi with a full crew. well, this aside, wine grew is here. hope to sell $325000000.00 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'd act barry always loved basketball. back home in afghanistan, he used to coach a women's team professionally. the income comfortably sustained jam, she'd and his family. this could last give all 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 at the hospital, but the taliban band,

a clear way forward for them either that that should or why that edition eve would get. we were promised that all african refugees would be transferred from albania, to canada, and the condo, or the u. s. you go within 2 to 3 month long beach. does 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 departments 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 on. and so we don't have the feeling that

the u. s. m. of this ration mom is processing them all we of the feeling better. they are here to stay anyhow, they cannot so say for every military and they have to start to do life. albania, 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 and she non question will for the done me been in as you can see, albania as a poor country. but my so because we enjoy greater safety here than in afghanistan, but more that is all i me good im fucked up as, as refugees we have no opportunities for education, employment with or any other kind of development in this country, which is in india, us lenin composition is, jam sheet has almost stopped carrying. all that matters to him is reuniting with his family. valet to us off on a sauna,

i fled from afghanistan, where there is a war going off on a nym. this when new half of all people there on is on, i have no perspective, no work required you and or poor father lines re but on body. even these circumstances, life is better in albania, law, and i would say shot already, husky, beaudry, boom albano formula. maybe 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 fav. sylvania is a country known for its breathtaking landscapes. among these is the mountain resort, a vella cup plenty now is less than an hour's drive from the capital liliana. 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 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 wish. 50 years ago, my husband brought me up here for the 1st time that you and our children are now 50 years old. their children were here themselves. now just collect vamos them. i get up at 5 am. milk, 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 robert zam leon, who runs a small restaurant. me him on moon 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 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. so we vote on how to clean the pasture was where to fix the fences where to direct the water and which paths to repair, things like that. i as i opened novel with rights however come responsibilities cycle. can i have a more to ship in the summer? the herders have still many work, 8 hours of it per cow. do you that better avoid 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 and 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 as this we get focused on europe. thanks so much for watching and bye for now. with ah, ah, with
