ukraine were out for hours. there was no electricity or running water and the subway in the city with more than a 1000000 residence stood still. so he theses grains, 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 straight their targets that have nothing to do with our armed forces. infrastructure, seal, master desktop in presidents. so lensky home town of cree bearish, 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 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
4:34 am
way, like here on a sub station and the so low means key districts of key with the team from a local power grade is 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 municipal administration was good and the central energy system thrown on that. if that happens somewhere, we'll do our job 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 say
4:35 am
the country is prepared for winter. not it was done in the past. we have enough gas reserves the shuttle and enough coal. we might even make a profit from selling power lifted on that he. we can make it fine other winter. it wasn't quickly too soon, but only if rockets don't hit our infrastructure data collection, such as our combined heat and power stations, nuclear scientists, or other power, atlanta sunset or sexual. if they get heads, they'll stop working, da, da, da. when it 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. and that in the home of lucia is running out of time for 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 brought up in the morning and said, mom highly, don't cry all over the dumpster, all rebuild your house,
4:36 am
kitchen and the blush as it looked 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 daily to either one that runs on a 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 water, 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
4:37 am
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 career us 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
4:38 am
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 my wife such a big spoon, i remember would you rather lick it 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 milton, for my daughter, won the st. our children are well aware of what's going on and on a and now when they hear the name george maloney, they get scared or not. they asked us, what would happen that not only reassured them, they shouldn't worry loudly 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. pardon me? say no. yes. the traditional family, not godaddy. no, no, to the l g b t lobby of it, they the yeah it a sexual identity?
4:39 am
no, no, to gender ideology at all. the yes, to the culture of my ada. no. to the culture of death, a strong words which carry all the way to mountain aetna in cataneo. maria and monica fear. hard times lie ahead 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 for po, delicate, don't know how long his 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 the bigger 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 writes lucy, a make big set bang, 80 feet, bellamy, not on say something she both women work in academia and they also worry that the aggressive rhetoric will poison the social climate. c stand no. so when on both off because the danger is that these things become acceptable so that you can insult
4:40 am
women or be openly homophobic without any consequences, the man didn't food to the nan 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. we couldn't readily 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. for me. i'm 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. yeah, a little bit of it almost 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 the on the on her pain can be summed up with one of her slogan logon as i
4:41 am
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 nat 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 for $84.00. ah, a profit in young cal, provis. if federalists at all. if one through ation gets worse, if we're ready to move to another country for the safety of our children and our
4:42 am
children, our top priority for a lot of pay. and they'd be willing to leave our home country for their rights and well being forced on get that us video 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. 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.
