you know, with this, i know we're not of great to attach and delicate africans. population is growing and young people clearly have the solution, the future with the 77 percent every weekend on d w. ah ah, hello and welcome to focus on europe. it is nice to have you with us today. it will be the hardest winter in our history. these words uttered by ukrainian president zalinski were mentor, prepare his fellow ukrainians for what's coming in the next few months ahead. but already now today, the situation is dramatic. anyone 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 at 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 lemon was under russian occupation 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. was that the front has moved only a few kilometers further away. what remains here is devastation. and yet residents are grateful that every day life is possible. again, william, who am ludmilla, and can now move freely through the city. well, when i said, oh no excuse sim. he said, our granddaughter is 7 months old. oh no, we haven't seen her for 4 months. glad that out. now our grandson is 5. emily, it's molly does when they must be of thanks to our ukrainian army. we were able to call them the phones are working again, although not so well. it is, you know, my grandson shouted into the phone. gramma, i love you very, very much look a holiday with her grandmother, grandchildren. the most precious thing in the middle of that sentence, never made sense to me before, but now i feel it. what 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. nadisa brother was killed at all from the wood lights terrible. i hope our soldiers will stay here now and chased the russians as far away as possible. so they don't ever come back again in true life, although they're still struggling. gotcha. leukemia. and that isa are trying to move forward me while that were gathering firewood for the winter. well, no one knows if we'll have electricity or heat by then. yeah. but he will go to her cottage and spend the winter there. ukraine is bracing for a cold winter. they know that without a functioning energy supply, it will get even harder and not just near the front and in the liberated areas. ah,

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 and countries infrastructure in history yard. the marsh trotter ceased 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 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 was quoting the damage to a quarter of our k, great acids did not cause the ukrainian energy system to collapse or malfunction.

lewis itchy, it came shin and put us to where recover and quickly li dosage with good. no, no, i said. but there are few signs of this recovery in yam feel. i think people, i mean why we have new electricity and new 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 a bullet. it was all very hard. oh, there was a big bang one night. oh yeah, it flew back there, then it burned me like that's what happened mama, ideal at about the latoya williams calling about the family live on their farm with few neighbors. but that was little protection when they suddenly found themselves in the midst of war in mind. the children still talk about the battles. clanging

when the plane flying or did he die? they're shot down by the artillery like the theat, sir la, 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, and attract arnold 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 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 the 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 vedrine, sca is revered by many 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 thing, 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 helped their daughters, daughters who helped their mothers friends who help friends. 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 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 jamarion, jack toss it or the or i felt that when i did it, like when i terminated the pregnancy and fried myself. so when i regained control over, my body gets called but i also regained control over my life and the lives of my children sucks under miss lamb. hm. and that's what happened. i thought when i gave the woman my pills and it could do for her what it did for me because your autonomy is something worth fighting for it or have that placed an an artist found them. yes, 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 content, the cares just, there's no sex education anywhere, especially in my school where it's never talked about. and we would like once in religion class, we brought up the subject of abortion with our pastor and give it to me. she made them up,

he didn't even allow us to give her own opinion. and sometime in the old days of us then go whenever the topic comes up, it it shut down as quickly as possible. my door would have been the woman injured. said griffin, i've we did the job in poland. abortion is only permitted if the life or health of the pregnant woman is at risk, or if her pregnancy results from rape. justina fredricka 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 the horizontal, the medication comes from abroad from other european countries directly to the address has provided just like other organizations operating in poland. we never distribute medication or so we only provide information. wanted that i own for 34000 women, so it help from polish women's organizations last year,

thousands of polish women travel abroad to obtain an abortion. the activists have organized a rally in the middle of warsaw or their offering testimony from polish women who have terminated a pregnancy. some time, 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 that 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 committed to helping others is she most barajas? he's a doctor in turkey. his 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 most power shabamo puts on his apron to help his mother in the family restaurant is an unfamiliar feeling. but 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, hung then one day he was attacked by a patient's family and chased to the corridors. surveillance cameras recorded the assault. before the incident, the patient complained about the care he was receiving at the hospital lodge. i did them emily, but when i told them to please not be rude,

he went off to me. dawn last would have been missing. i defended myself much, but his wife brought the rest of the family in from outside and them cottage. they all started beating on me, bought, pay them wash leather, a traumatic experience that left its mark on him. barrack 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 experienced 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 by rush tore up his diploma and hospital scrubs and protest . ensure that each mama is academic training has never been treated with as much contempt as it is today in this country. good. an image to set it to the level 2. but there are other reasons for the rise and violence against

health workers. but i shall 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 beauty. human does it when a doctor has to care for up to 150 patients a day, though, of course, that overstretched method, the patients 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, go to be all together to do. the solidarity he received from colleagues has been a great support for brush. he's even received a call from finland. a doctor of turkish descent offered him a job in his practice among nabarra, his learning finish. oh, i'm from a huge neglige 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, huge,

i'm only tick argue to don't mean groups. 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 articles. a jacqueline res, have it if they want to leave, do let them leave out these that the new i sit in every did. i will go our own way with new doctors over there is from our university said well law though armand to the ears of overworked and under appreciated doctors. this sounds like mockery, physical assaults, insults, and threats leave their mark like ringing. they become wary of patient listening, make they re live the events over and over again, and they're even afraid of coming to work. hang on. just the sound of someone talking loudly can make them panic. and shea roberson,

we get addicted. has it been more shameless, but ash is also still suffering the effects of the attack. at least the courts of recently started imposing higher sentences for assaults and health care workers. bad ashes attackers have been sentenced to 3 and a half years in prison. that's help barrage, feel a bit better. now if you're good enough, you know, i'm starting to sleep a little better now. we could, for those 1st weeks, i couldn't sleep for more than 2 hours at a time when mother will you be such a shameless potash said in light of turkey's health care crisis. it should be the politicians who suffer sleepless nights chicken. for now, he plans to continue working in the family restaurant until he leaves for finland the pending alps at over 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 eye sheets are shrinking every year. an almost helpless attempt to stop the seemingly unstoppable the long 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 of recording the slow death of the glacier season. for these homer, early in the summer, we observe major changes. we suspect that a cave is formed under the glacier at the base, and that the ice cover has now become very thin hot. that's why it's sinking to

give all this help to the sun warms the eyes from above while the water wears away at it from below. the research is 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 what does ice but 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 it's gradually retreating. this big funnel, this crater is slowly subsiding, maybe this summer or no later than 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 lawn glacier is shrinking. if 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 swift glaciers have lost half their volume since 1931. at more touching 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 collapse in the dolemite mountains of italy on july. the 3rd, a huge block of ice broke loose from the mulatto glacier, claiming 11 lives. the melting is man made largely caused 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 still close and how cool spot the dark color is also suit, 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. this 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 50. it's high time that we introduce truly effective climate protection measures often 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, 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.

jean baptiste was lay has been in the air for 5 hours and he's covered 220 kilometers to day. well, he must be back there. ah, there is. the last lay is 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, 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'm, it's,

it's, it's powered by batteries and they are charged by the solar cells on the wings. but this is what we're showing. belizean does of classic dealer was lay, spend 3 years working on the glider and put all his savings into the prototype. i'm chris will make on some fillings. well, i'm impressed. it's very smooth. here. he completely integrated the solar cells into the wings. shanella she doesn't, 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 somebody dream of climate friendly flight without emitting a single gram of c o 2. it's already handy out to see that he can fly. so lot in a lot of he is preparing for the next leg of the tour with a glow for let's roll to swears ridge ah, either i'll fly to montpelier to pick some sweat or i'll 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, says, legal albatrosses in flight are fabulous. some of the inspired me of it. i said i wanted to fly like them one they usually of them all go to 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 z if girl boy, of course it's hard to imagine a boeing or air bus with solar cells. 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 takeoff in koya. dawns 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 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 of flying with the power of the sun. well, i would love to fly in one of his airplanes that was focused on your for this week . thank you for watching. and if you missed anything or want to share it,
