canada rove is leading many chechens to fight for russia. but there is also a battalion fighting for the other side. storming a building. this is a training session for new recruits to ukraine's. joe had to die of battalion attaching volunteer group fighting for ukraine. they often the very 1st to go into newly one territory. of us. our job is to storm and to clear the place you know, after that the other groups come in and do their job. and the bonus plays a lesson. margo, as he calls himself, was born in chechnya,

but grew up in europe. he has his always dreamed of fighting against russia. after putting the next crimea and installed proxies in the don bus, margaret moved to ukraine. he joined the battalion, which bears the colors of chechen independence, and the name of its hero. joe had to die wallace. this has been going on for generations. my father fought against russia and the 1st and 2nd judging wars in the 1990 s. and i must continue this fight for the relative to what was the last month. the battalion was among the 1st to enter the tone of you as the chechen volunteers fight for ukraine. many consider it part of their greater battle against russia. look like in the morning. we want to go home,

but we want to liberate our country. after ukraine, we will go home them the group is away from the, from the mall, waiting for new instructions, preparing to litter, churches and ukraine. eros fighting a common core. ah. in recent weeks, thousands of russians have gone abroad to escape the draft and the war in ukraine. some fled to berlin via finland. maria is not here, real name. she also doesn't want us to show her face. she worked as a doctor in moscow hospital. she and her husband, i was eligible for military service. they cannot imagine taking part in the war against ukraine, where they have relatives. they decided not to wait. woodruff notices to arrive yet

at the hotel. by from the moment you get a draft notice for leaving would mean desert ingram and you most likely will be even allowed to cross the border where on either at the airport nor by car by so we decided we couldn't wait for dropped notices. we have children, and we had to rescue every one. i somehow both headed for germany, not least because of the promises of german politicians to protect deserters and draft dodgers from russia. because alice donald at bringing might steph jim. and he said it would accept those who are fleeing mobilization. well anyway, we have some friends here who know the language has have and can help us. not always is the call back, but i'm on with maggie when i'm from watch. but getting political asylum in germany for people fleeing they dropped in russia is not an easy task. cecilia still gave up for berlin based and g. all the risk of being rejected is high. she and her

colleagues have sent an open letter to german authorities asking to ease the conditions for those who don't want to serve in the russian army. yes, long. my boy's him all. we asked for simplification of obligation rules, documented jerry and visa, so because now it's a very complicated process and one can apply only after having proved and political persecution. and of course, we asked for simplified asylum for those who waiters hope all's avoidance, regime, quitters room. but before the rules are ease, philip and maria are trying to find other ways of staying in germany. like a blank for work or student visa. they say, going back to russia, is not an option for them. the gold mines in eastern congo exploit the suffering of many for the wealth of a few. a brutal cycle of greed involving miners and revel groups.

this gold may gleam brightly, but it is stained red with blood. people lightly died for this precious metal destined for the rich world's finest juries. the democratic republic of the congo has some of the purest gold in the world. but experts say almost all of it smuggled out of the country illegally. that often means links to armed groups and human rights abuses. it all starts here in suffocating the hot tunnels that head up to 40 degrees celsius. young man scrape out the gold bearing rock. there earn barely enough to survive on for fear of reprisals. this man wants to remain anonymous when you go to work, he just pray to god because we're feeling like it's a death sentence. and on top of that, this mine is controlled by an armed group, the my, my. yeah, catawba, according to a recent un report,

the rebels demand what they call taxes from each worker. it beat me up with an iron rod because i couldn't pay that tax. they threw me into a mud hole for days with no food. i was imprison there with 6 other people. he lost 10 kilograms. he says other minors tell us similar stories. they say that my my and never fall, even now they're hiding further up the mountain because they were informed we were coming. this is the 1st time journalists have access this mine both the my, my young timber and local government officials declined our interview requests. it's widely known that the rebels often work together with local authorities and even shap profits with them. but with the money they also finance, brutal attacks on an ethnic group who they see as their main enemy. the my, my claim the bunny lender don't belong to the d r c. so they burned down the

villages, rape, and kill scores of people. rebel control of the minds means conflict go. but that's not deterring this business man. the purity of the precious metal has convinced him soon he plans to open the 1st gold refinery in the country and export from d r. c to europe and america. at the moment we are discussing a lot with the government, they will take all our to them while coming to work here. we will, they will try and trace how is going on, and maybe it will help. i hope it will help, but ensuring authenticity will be difficult. traitors tell us, they fake certificates to hide. the real origin of the gold is done and who are i can only appeal for an end to the trade and blood. i can, i mean us, but i, my, my said go to white people to buy weapons. that is why i sell the gold re, let me know is i want to tell the white people to stop buying from

them. so they don't kill us, will least. what is the it is a simple equation as long as groups can re, profits from gold mining, they will keep earning the cash to kill ah, the horses, some of the fees, most fascinating creatures but import you go, population is declining at an alarming rate due to over fishing along the coast, he, horses have captivated the human imagination for thousands of years. and many cultures see them as mythical creatures. one person enthralled by these small animals is biologist george palmer. for the past 15 years, he had studied them here at the faro marine research station in southern portugal.

ah, i get the really that's for this animal because they're so different. so interesting, so, so saturday of and they were present. so well there, i thought that began like a my role model for research. the station is located in ria formosa and lagoon with designated protected zones for short and long snout at sea horses. this is an oasis. scientists have discovered more specimens here than anywhere else. but the sea horses are currently under severe threat as far as i know, the 1st that researchers, they estimate us, i'm more than 1200000. see or sitting on a few c. 4 years ago there were estimating around 150000 quite a bit. the place. one problem is the fishing community. although it's far from being the intention of francisco molina and his colleagues see horses keep getting caught in their nets. the bay and iowa they live in the c window and when the net

gets close to the bottom and they get tangled in it, said vega, another fisherman brew, we can say sal lives on an island in the lagoon. he loves the sea horses having grown up around them. he knows the areas where fishing is prohibited, but he also knows that there are those who don't respect the restrictions out. it will be the method again, on my protect its own, starts close to where we are now, and stretches all the way back. farrah humphries, professional fishermen are not a problem. i'll go is particular, the ones we're fishing illegally, or we'll use dragnet to sort of the same horses with her last good a year by your goose gobbledygook. them up, george. the biologist is looking for small shrimps for his sea horse farm. to him, the issue is more nuanced. see horses becoming cart is understandable. a much graver problem is the destruction of the sensitive animals habitat by the fishing

nets themselves. this has led him to search for alternatives and experiment with artificial seaweed. together with his colleagues, he has already covered large patches in the lagoon and by the looks of it, the sea horses are warming up to the new material. sources go there, love it in an artificial thing. it's good for the start and then becomes natural because all other animals are colonized this artificial freckles and made a natural be thought out of one of the official one. if the animals by some means of old for that does happen, the use appeared from here that can be a major blow for the general conservation of the species. but now we are seeing some increase. so there is hope for the future. it's a glimmer of hope for a species that keeps captivating the imagination of humans, but is now threatened by their very actions almost everywhere in the world. not only in their oasis and the rhea formosa lagoon.

ah, with nothing is as it was. and is even said to be better the overall astra, the russell time automaker, has completely revamped its most important model. we test the plugin hybrid version and give you the full report with we want to know what keeps our society together. extraordinary projects from all over europe could provide a clue, houses made from recycled waste to 40 energy saving idea,
