1:31 am
zalinski were meant to prepare his fellow ukrainians for what's coming in the next few months ahead. but already now to day, the situation is dramatic. any one who still has a roof over their head is searching through the rubble for whatever they can find, especially firewood in cities that were hit hardest by rushes attacks. there are shortages or outages of electricity and heating. the russian army has deliberately destroyed about 40 percent of ukraine's energy supply so far in the east of ukraine along the front line up, the situation is particularly difficult. ukrainian troops drove the russian occupiers out of the town of leman and that the surrounding area. but there people are literally sitting on ruins. residential buildings have been destroyed and the supply of water, electricity, and gas has been interrupted. time and time again. locals find themselves caught between despair and relief. at their regained freedom. the city of
1:32 am
lemon was under russian hill to patient for more than 4 months. in early october, it was finally liberated lemon is an important point on the military supply line. but liberation doesn't mean the end of the struggle for people here. the front has moved only a few kilometers further away. what remains here is devastation. and yet residents are grateful that everyday life is possible. again, william, who am ludmilla, can now move freely through the city. well, when i said herb, no which kit sim, he said our granddaughter is 7 months old and we haven't seen her for 4 months blood data. now, our grandson is 5. emily is miley does when it must be of banks to our ukrainian army. we were able to call them the phones are working again, although not so well. hey, do you know my grandson shouted into the phone. gramma, i love you very, very much look unheard of her grandmother, grandchildren,
1:33 am
the most precious thing in the middle of that sentence, never made sense to me before, but now i feel it twice till we've seen things here. a few streets away, we meet nadisa and her husband followed him. you the to see they had hardly any contact with any one for months. they hardly ever left their home. nadine, as brother was killed often of a good night's terrible. i hope our soldiers will stay here now and chase the russians as far away as possible. so they don't ever come back again in true light although they're still struggling. gotcha. leukemia. and that easter are trying to move forward. only one that we're gathering firewood for the winter water. no one knows if we'll have electricity or heat by then yet, but he will go to her cottage and spend the winter there. you crean is bracing for a cold winter. they know that without a functioning energy supply,
1:34 am
it will get even harder and not just near the front and in the liberated areas. russia is continuing to target its missile strikes across the entire country from east to west. many attacks of targeted ukraine's power plants and heating infrastructure. the capital keith has also suffered outages. the head of ukraine's electricity operator says these are the most wide ranging attacks in the countries infrastructure in history. yet the marsh traverses can be scorned. i believe that russian energy engineers, i hoping the russian military to look at that those people are also criminal square . good, the risky believes his former colleagues gave out the coordinates for attacks. after all, ukraine's power system was still connected to the russian and bella luce grid until just a few hours before the invasion nivea throughout the charity and even the loss of a quarter of our generation capacity charity. but what couldn't the damage to
1:35 am
a quarter of our key grid assets did not caused the ukrainian energy system to collapse or malfunction lewis had, she had kim's chin and but as the were recovering quickly, we dosage with good no, no, my said, but there are few signs of this recovery in yam feel, i think people, i mean why we have no electricity and no internet alicia tells us we survived with a generator. or young pill is a village in the don't ask region right next to lemon. it was also liberated just a few weeks ago. residents have written the message. people live here in chalk on gates and fences hoping to be spared for, but it was all very hard. oh, there was a big bang one night. oh, here it flew back there. then it burned me like that's what happened. mamma, ideal at the lovely feel of williams calling about the family live on their farm
1:36 am
with few neighbors. but that was little protection when they suddenly found themselves in the midst of war. he admired the children, still talk about the battles. i knew when the plane fly, nor did he die there shot down by the artillery like the theat. sir, my mom. ho. florida. that's the air defense system. i'm going over their house burned down and back there, a barn full of wood, a motorcycle in a trap, journals radio. the trauma will stay with them all their lives. the reason i said the worst thing is the silent. we can't sleep at night any more. the silence is more frightening than the noise we've gotten used to that promo to the constant. just boom, boom, boom, walk, walk, and suddenly silence. i don't know why, but i can't sleep obviously, but you know what frightens natalia? the most is a thought that the russian soldiers might return. if that happens, she says she would flee with her children. finding out that you or
1:37 am
your partner is pregnant is a deeply emotional experience. but what if you can't, or don't want to carry that child to term in most european countries, the decision to have an abortion is up to the women themselves. but things are different in poland. their abortion laws are among the strictest in europe. and that's something that women like you seen of drain hska are fighting against the activists is now facing the prospect of a long prison sentence. but justina isn't fighting alone. you will never walk alone. chad the demonstrators in front of the courthouse in warsaw. they're here to show solidarity with justina voted in sca she faces up to 3 years in prison for helping a woman obtain abortion pills in poland. the medication used for medical abortions is prohibited. justina veterans sca is revered by many
1:38 am
young women. she and her network are fighting for self determination and against some of the most restrictive abortion laws in europe. that's one them, many enemies in conservative and catholic, poland on this that i didn't think i would be this nervous, but i am. it's as i head into court, i don't feel any guilt. i believe what i did was good. you have to help people represent what i stand here to day to represent the countless people who help each other when they're in a difficult situation. when they need an abortion, my mother is who help their daughters, daughters who help their mothers, friends who help friends her. one time justina vedrine, sca sent her own medication to a woman in need. now she's standing trial for that. she was moved by the woman's plight and was reminded of her own abortion. it took place here in her hometown of
1:39 am
prison ish. 17 years ago, when she became pregnant, she already had 3 children in the hall and was stuck in a marriage where she felt controlled and oppressed. when that's yet pad yagni, amberin jack toss, it'll be all. i felt that when i did it, when i terminated the pregnancy and freed myself, so when i regained control over my body gets control, i also regained control over my life and the lives of my children. like the the miss lamb. mm hm. and that's what happened. i thought, i think when i gave the woman my pill so it could do for her what it did for me because you're autonomy a something worth fighting for it does have that biased a lack. i to just found them. um yeah, the activist is convinced that poland abortion laws are misogynistic, her daughter sylvia is 18 years old and has experienced what it's like to live with to booze. i like i had no contact the cares just. there's no sex education anywhere,
1:40 am
especially in my school where it's never talked about telling me that like once in religion class, we brought up the subject of abortion with our pastor. i don't get a tradition with them. he didn't even allow us to give her own opinion. and sometimes the old days of us, they go whenever the topic comes up it it shut down as quickly as possible. my door would have been filmed and ranger said griffith. we did the job in poland. abortion is only permitted if the life or health of the pregnant woman is at risk. or if a pregnancy results from ripe, justina for drain, hska has founded a support network that advises polish women who cannot or do not want to continue a pregnancy. she provides information about websites where women can order the pills needed for a medical abortion on of she has on top of the medication, comes from abroad from other european countries directly to the addresses provided today. it's just like other organizations operating in poland. we never distribute medication ourselves, so we only provide information in cleveland now that i am from 34000 women. so it
1:41 am
help from polish women's organizations. last year, thousands of polish women traveled abroad to obtain an abortion. the activists have organized a rally in the middle of warsaw hamilton. they're offering testimony from polish women who have terminated a pregnancy. meantime, usually, i don't regret my decision. my only regret is that in poland, this decision has to be made behind the backs of doctors, the government. and in my case, even my family book to the call, i was a young doctor at the time working at the nearest hospital. i was afraid if something went wrong that i would end up there and get into trouble, but i would lose my job and my license to practice at the vocal. justina between scott holds onto the hope that one day things will change in poland until then she wants to continue to help women in crisis. another person who's
1:42 am
committed to helping others is shay. most barbara sh. he's a doctor in turkey because profession is something he's very passionate about, and yet he quit his job at the hospital because he experienced pretty terrible things there. turkish president, erewhon here at the opening of a large hospital in ankara, likes to boast about his country's health care system. but behind the facade, things look rather different. every morning she moved borrow shabani, put on his apron to help his mother in the family restaurant is an unfamiliar feeling. bad. she is a doctor. and normally he be wearing a crisp white coat. just a few months ago, he was still working, shifts in the emergency room of a large hospital in eastern turkey, and then one day he was attacked by a patient's family and cheese to the corridors. surveillance cameras recorded the assault. before the incident,
1:43 am
the patient had complained about the care he was receiving at the hospital sides. i the them, i mean there, but when i told him to please not be rude, he went after me to on last what i've been missing. i defended myself, but his wife brought the rest of the family in from outside the car. they all started beating on me, but paid him wash leather. a traumatic experience that left its mark on him by rational loves being a doctor. but since the incident, he hasn't been able to go back to work according to 131 in 4 employees and the turkish health care sector has experience physical violence at work. last year, hospital workers across the country had to call security more than 100000 times. at a doctor's union rally, barbara, she tore up his diploma and hospital scrubs and protests and that each was on
1:44 am
a academic training has never been treated with as much contempt as it is today in this country. good. but there are other reasons for the rise and violence against health workers. bash has come to a meeting of the doctors union on the wall. there's a picture of a colleague who was murdered not long ago. the rise and violence also has to do with a difficult working conditions, especially in state hospitals and human dignity, when a doctor has to care for up to a 150 patients a day. you know, of course, that overstretched method, the patient expectations of a functioning health care system can't be met when we're working under those conditions. then he'll give you the salvage gurley. we all get to do. the solidarity he received from colleagues has been a great support for brush. he even received a call from finland, a doctor of turkish descent offered him a job in his practice among nabarra, his learning finish. over on from a huge,
1:45 am
negligent woman. i originally only wanted to go abroad to train as a specialist addicted on, but now i've decided to leave the country for good issues. i'm only tick argued during the representative, and he wouldn't be the 1st expert see, an exodus of young well trained doctors is looming. this photo taken in germany. she was a meet up of young turkish ex pat doctor's article. a jacqueline is race of it. if they want to leave, do let them leave her. is that the new acidity in every did? i will go our own way with new doctors over there is from our university, said willa. though armand to the ears of overworked and under appreciated doctors. this sounds like mockery, physical assaults, insults, and threats leave their mark. by going in, they become wary of patient listening make they re live the events over and over
1:46 am
again. and they're even afraid of coming to work a young just the sound of someone talking loudly can make them panic. i said i was from i get addicted. has it been more shameless bout? ash is also still suffering the effects of the attack. at least the courts of recently started imposing higher sentences for assaults and health kill workers. bad ashes attackers have been sentenced to 3 and a half years in prison. that's helped brush, feel a bit better. now if you're good enough, is listening. i'm starting to sleep a little better now. which of those 1st weeks i couldn't sleep for more than 2 hours at a time when mother will you be such a movie? of the shameless potash said in light of turkey's health care crisis should be the politicians who suffer sleepless nights for now. he plans to continue working in the family restaurant until he leaves for finland the pen in alps at over
1:47 am
3000 meters above sea level. even if this picture fills you with ah, at the natural beauty of our planet, you have to remember that global warming caused by us humans is having a devastating effect on remote locations like this one. the sweltering summer of 2022 alone caused a record. i smelt and the wrong glacier in switzerland has been affected in a big way. its massive ice sheets are shrinking every year. an almost helpless attempt to stop the seemingly unstoppable their own glacier is covered with white tops, in hopes of slowing down the melting. it hardly snowed at all last winter than summer came only by march. it was already warm here the glacier tongue continues to retreat and now a lake is formed. beneath it, scientists from a th zurich university recording the slow death of the glacier season for these homer. early in the summer, we observe major changes. we suspect that
1:48 am
a cave is formed under the leisure at the base, and that the ice cover has now become very thin hot. that's why it's sinking to give help. the sun warms the eyes from above while the water wears away at it from below. the researches drew holes for pressure and temperature senses and for cameras, they hope the information will help them understand why the glacier is melting ever more quickly. yet for this ice now that the ice above is getting thinner and thinner, the ice of the glacier is starting to sink down there. the river has sort of broken out on the glaciers roof, has collapsed and its gradually retreating. this big funnel, this crater is slowly subsiding, maybe this summer or no later the next summer, they'll meet hoping there's a gradual retreat where the lake is getting closer and closer and the glacier keeps receding. intricacies of shit rise. it's like the loan glacier is shrinking. if
1:49 am
global heating continues at this rate, scientists say the glacier will be gone by the end of the century. oh, glaciers in the swiss alps are effected. scientists at 80 hate zurich have calculated that swiss glaciers have lost half their volume since 1931. at mortar hutchings, calvin, this has been documented for a 146 years from 1876 to the present day. and if nothing changes, this is what it could look like. by the end of this century. the melting eyes unveils tragedies from the past light, the crash site of a small aircraft that went down on switzerland's alledged glacier in 1968. it also leads to new tragedies. for example, the glacier collapsed and the dolemite mountains of italy on july. the 3rd, a huge block of ice broke loose from the mama, lots of glacier claiming 11 lives. the melting is man made largely caused
1:50 am
by global heating, but also by more than 150 years of pollution. the black layer that covers the ice is not just rock dust. the stone coats and alcohols pot. the dark color is also soup particles needed, which then forms a greasy mass that stays on top and has a negative impact on the ice thing because it's darker, it absorbs more sunlight. that leads to even more heat, which causes the glacier to melt even faster. that means that during a hot dry summer, the horn river is higher than usual, not lower, at least for now until the glaciers have melted. dis would devastate switzerland's water and energy supply. the country generates 60 percent of its electricity from hydro, how're the still it's an elevator, it's kind of a painful that our politicians aren't sitting up and taking notice of. it's high
1:51 am
time that we introduced truly effective climate protection measures from the claim . but the broader public also needs to act, ah, we have to put pressure on politician as a fake on this is because he politics alone won't take it off the politic moto, while the politic alana refreshing. otherwise, these scientists say time will run out to soc global warming. it would be a huge help if passenger planes could fly without emitting any c o 2 at all. but it's a pipe dream, right? no, it's the dream of a french inventor engineer john baptized was a lay, has been relying on the power of the sun and winds to fly thousands of kilometers in his solar glider using only renewable energy. and he's convinced that his technology has an even bigger future ahead ah,
1:52 am
lives in really it's my dream to travel as far as i want without polluting or planet. and i feel like we're on our way there is just wonderful human jombateeste was lay has been in the air for 5 hours and he's covered 220 kilometers to day. he must be back there. ah, there is loss, lays on the 15th leg of his airborne tour to false. he's landing in coyer in the south of the country. the tour is intended to promote his project, wings for the planet. well. water flight. the adventurer and engineer quit his job to focus exclusively on his solar powered glider. his invention draws curious onlookers wherever he goes
1:53 am
. and they want to know how it works with their mike later takes off on it soon with this propeller. it may seem small, but it's a meter across in diameter. i mean, it's powered by batteries and they are charged by the solar cells on the wings. but blah, or charlotte. belizean does, of course, do was lay, spend 3 years working on the glider and put all his savings into the prototype. and chris, when they come from going, well, i'm impressed. it's very smooth. here. he completely integrated the solar cells into the wings. she is janiella, sheffield. i'm an engineer and a pilot, and i have an idea of how much work went into this. i think it's fantastic. it makes you dream something of a dream of climate friendly flight without emitting a single gram of c o 2. it's already had only out to see that he can fly. lot lot of he is preparing for the next leg of the tour with a glove for let's roll to swears ridge ah, i'm either
1:54 am
a flight montpelier to picks and swear oral fly of her flora. the engineer loves nature and technology. he used to work, designing underwater robots. once near the south pole, he watched a young albatross in flight. legal albatrosses in flight are fabulous. some of the inspired me of it. i said i wanted to fly like them one day to deliver them or would it come? so it's basically this year, last lay is touring france by air more than 2000 kilometers. it's how he imagines the future of travel or total. i'm currently 7000 feet above mon, so michelle, many in the aeronautics industry think he's out of his mind. lost lay is convinced that even jumbo jets will one day fly powered by the sun alone emission free ziff go avoid. of course, it's hard to imagine a boeing or air bus with solar cells with joe,
1:55 am
but modern photovoltaic cells harnessed just 20 percent of the energy on it because it's in 10 to 20 years, or it might be 40 or 60 percent. all this was on performance because the cleans might be traveling out just for 100 kilometers an hour instead of $800.00. but that's enough for domestic flies. walsman law is ms. recipient is sheila film during take off in koya. the ones lay demonstrates his invention. conventional gliders need a winch or a motorized plane to start and a lot of energy but was lay makes it up into the air on his own. by my glee, my to the phones is almost over for the aviation pioneer is already planning his tour of europe to get even more people on board with the dream, a flying with the power of the sun. well,
1:56 am
