welcome to take talk about hackers and paralyzing the tire systems. computers and governments that go crazy for your data. we explain how these technologies work, how they can confer how they can also go terribly, watch it now. to me the news. hello and welcome to focus on europe. it is nice to have you here today. so it is autumn or fall here in germany. but after the warmest, october ever documented,

it doesn't really feel like it. record temperatures have been causing huge tracts of land to burn, and while most people are in agreement, the carbon emissions should be curved. it's a very different story getting countries to agree on just how to phase out coal, oil and gas. climate talks on exactly this issue are currently underway at the summit in egypt. at the end of the day though, each country is called upon to play, its part like sweden, the home of climate activists. great, a tune berg close to milan. yo, well above the arctic circle, the forested landscape is being scalped at an enormous scale. now that's obviously a problem for the climate, but it's a more immediate disaster for the animals living in those areas like the reindeer, who sources of food have vanished. but with the help of climate activists on alina low house, those animals do have a voice, one who doesn't shy away from standing up to the powerful timber lobby.

at 1st glance, you might think sweden as one big forest over 2 thirds of the country is covered in woodlands. but the farther north you go, the more bare patches turn up. the old growth forest starts thinning out. in many places, the countryside has been stripped, bare like here across the border from one year, finland over 150 kilometers above the arctic circle. this is reportedly the work of swedish lumber companies. greenpeace has put signs on the tree, saying, do not cut. clear. cutting means everything is cut down and taken away. they plant new trees and 30 or 40 years later, they cut them till that's working against nature. not with amazon in a single operator, with a tree harvester can clear as much timber as 2 dozen lumberjacks used to be able to

in the same time. the machine's enormous tires leave behind, packed soil and deep ruts in the ground. it's no surprise that it takes many years for anything to go back here. a huge tract of land was slated for felling. here to the forest belonged to stay. a school sweden state on lumber company. but environmentalists group such as greenpeace, as well as reindeer herders had something to say about it. they placed the trees under their protection and patrolled and demonstrated for months. the quiet protest shook the company's majestic headquarters in downtown, stockholm, to the highest levels. the former director had to go, we talked to the new c, e o eric bronze mar who says the company is open to a new approach. we previously haven't managed that conflicts in an optimal

way and there have been situations where we have not advanced of the possibilities for the food for the reindeer herders to, to practice their profession back to the forest that belong to stay a school around 4000 reindeer currently, rome, the area around mono, they find in a forage in the summer. in autumn, the semi domesticated animals like to graze on mushrooms. we met with the chairman of the local reindeer cooperative hans hulma. does he trust the latest promise is made by the lumber company? for now, he says no trees are being felt. he's hoping it'll stay that way. thought martin one hope but afternoon may. of course we're hoping for an improvement in the new direction. what this company on eric bronze, mike came up here to see us new, nearly neo. but to be honest, it's happening 30 years too late. aly thing. most of the old growth forests have

already disappeared. marty, can i tell you that quote and lat. lens, winter food is scarce, especially now that the climate trend erratic with periods of relative warmth, alternating with arctic cold. the winter forage only grows and these woodland pastures the herds. gray is on the lichen and plants beneath the snow. we sort of have a decrease the volumes that we take out if we want to have lichens in place. if we want to create corridors, create shelter and protection for reindeer old during the whole year. this has of course, and in fact peace has returned to this forest for now. but do not cut signs had been taken down through the trees, had to get by without protection. no. well, stay as go go, keep watch on their own or colleagues from greenpeace,

and seem to sort of have enough trust at the moment that they left the area and focus on order issues. and i think that's a good song. environmentalist and lumber companies have long been an odds. not fair school has pledged to harvest 20 percent fewer trees in the coming years. in agreement that many here hope will bear fruit. back in 2015, hundreds of thousands of syrians entered the you through the balkan wrote with many of them making their way toward germany. today, europe's border fences have been reinforced and they are much more tightly controlled. and yet thousands of syrians like mohammed here are attempting to cross them once again. mohammed had been living in turkey for years, but now he says he can't stay there any longer because the threat of deportation is just too high. instead, he's traveling from turkey to greece and further north on

a journey that is not without risk. mohammed a 21 year old syrian student from aleppo left turkey as fast as he could. now he's near the border between greece and north macedonia. he says it took almost 20 attempts to get to greece. well, hell stop so little bit about he was dangerous to leave, but would have been even more dangerous if turkey had put me in a refugee camp and sent me back to syria. oh hi. aflac. in law, i die from the cold, rain and snow. he and about 2 dozen other syrians hope that they will be safe from the police here in the forest. this man shows his scars are full of fire. he says he was beaten by greek police who despite the violence and danger many syrians are trying to reach western europe these days. many say they no longer feel safe and turkey,

where authorities have reportedly started deporting refugees back to syria. they're prepared to risk their lives. there is no space left at this morgan alexandro. bully says greek coroner pablo's pub ladies. one what a corpse without a name. just a number mother. for many nameless bodies have been brought to him in recent weeks from the f rose river, which forms the greek turkish border. people who die trying to reach greece and the european union. but what were your blo, obviously, that i've been working at this institute for 20 years, but it's never been this bad at all. we used to have about 50 bodies a year, but now we've had 60 in the 1st 9 months of this year. morally. the danger has increased since 2015 when huge numbers of refugees tried to reach

the european union. greece has tightened to controls and erected a high fence in some sections of the 200 kilometer border. it's reported that greek border officers have sent many migrants and refugees back greece denies these reports of push backs. it blames turkey. in mid october, 92 young men, mainly from syria, were discovered naked on the greek side of the border. the men said that they'd been forced to cross by turkish border guards after being ordered to remove their clothes. mohammed is relieved to have made it to greece safely. to morrow he plans to cross the border to north macedonia and continue on what's called the balkan route. uh huh. okay. when i go to germany, learn german, finished my engineering studies, and mary lot in a call once a little bit,

mohammed and his friends are not exceptions. the greek border police say there's been an increase in illegal entries for though there have been no large groups. but i feel the apple they, it's become harder to cross the ever osi legally. if i go and so many are taking a longer d, 2 or 3 bulgaria, unless you make the smugglers have also changed their tactics. amount. probably number companies, every people are brought over in ones and twos and small cars, even on motorbike sleep. but it's a better thinking of diesel to new roots and new risks as pablo's pub ladies season. his daily work brought the monkey developer like most of the victims drown in the river or die of hypothermia. but there are also more and more traffic accidents. if a smuggler's car has an accident, there's usually more than one victim in it looked at the little white up willow,

english. and yes. have ladies tries to identify the bodies on the basis of jewelry and dna samples. desperate relatives contact him every day. does lip or south ropes? these are human beings sort of just like every one else is yours. i'm not interested in where they came from, what they believed in or their politics. and they deserve our respect. and that's why i try to do everything i can to identify them and to return them to their families and whatnot. when i like motorcycling, robert wilson was going to go to work. but he knows that the deaths at this border region of europe are unlikely to end anytime soon to live in ukraine right now is to live in fear whether you're a soldier or a civilian or something in between. and regardless of whether you're in the areas under occupation or well away from them, anything that offers a sense of normalcy,

however small can make a big difference, like colorful, polished fingernails, for example. war may be war, but women are still women. iris says for the ukrainian volunteer, it's a welcome distraction from the daily chaos where the ongoing war is ever present either doesn't need her helmet and keith like she does at the front and dumbass she and ano spend 10 hours in the car on the way back to keith, it's a chance to catch their breath. they work as volunteers, bringing whatever civilians in the military near the front might need. infrared cameras, medicine, bullet proof vests. both of them are taking big risks by helping the soldiers come about with the one model. but this time shells started raining down on us near back loot. there was

a convoy of military vehicles ahead of us. they got attacked with mortars and we were a 150 meters away. but we made it. we will hear. the conversation is lively on the drive. one moment the topic as the war, a moment later, cosmetics another surprise. both of the volunteers have elegant manicures. since the war broke out, i thought i'd better look good because you never know when a missile might hit you. looking good is a big deal for me. i spend a lot of time behind the wheel and i really look different. all the normal people have lost weight during the war, but i've gained weight and cut my hair. when i come back from don bus, i don't look that great. but of course, as a woman, i want to be attractive, like before the war of them. so i love, i make an effort to look nice for the manual, get out the back yard movie. man. when you see things like mine,

then for the for you, they're dirty. like they're normal, get better. you get a manicure. is there a little part of my old life before the war that i want to hold on to your voice? when i have my nails done, i feel a bit more normal. snobbish my. it's not a mile long. this was so overwhelming that the little things like fingernails seemed all the more important before the war eva was in the system film director. but from now she's making the rounds between the front line and keith. a few days later, anya and eli are paying a visit to a completely different world, a nail studio move back, touching what she called. the nails studio is like a girl's club when we meet up here and we ask each other what's going on and talk with the man a curious time phone. it's a distraction from day to day life. it's

a magical world to her, where he's from feet is the work here a way to forget the war. quicken williams? yes. sometimes it with you zone out of reality for a moment and come back a bit later. it was a research study in russian. the word g havoc, car can mean girl, but also a woman of any age, a lady in other words, and ideally a do you watch, girl should always be well groomed in peace time or wall of will be this quote to look will you do when i go to the front and done by us. i have to be attractive because they see the boys. we don't let ourselves go congress with us for the night . more is war. i fish and women are still women. when we arrive and they see us. they want us to look good for you. we don't wear civilian clothes, but military outfits will. so there's only one way to look like a woman with a manicure, make up, and a hair cut off. the finishing touch on her nails is attribute to ukraine and

then she's done it. they head off together. the manicurist. ina is also coming along with her at the crash arctic subway station. it's the central stop and keith, in the safest place in the city to be of a bomb falls because it's so deep, every one is safe here. and so every one survives label portion of the big solution . and it's my 1st time attending a concert like this and the subway that on. i think it's going to be a very emotional experience with it all. he either got tickets will this concert in the middle of the day, down in the subway. it's an attempt to pretend life is normal and a welcome moment of distraction eve, our lives, 2 lives, one at the nail salon, and one at the front. so,

how does isla handle life in 2 different worlds? i am, if i can't, not at all. i'm currently taking classes in emergency medicine and i am headed to the front in a month. and that in you pointed that sort of music. so why does she want to go? it's the only way i can cope. many men have died at the front and i want to help them. e heart is devoting herself evermore to the war effort. but she's determined to keep up her perfect manicured by the year 2030, which is not that far away anymore. there will probably be more plastic in our oceans than there are fish. that's what experts predict and on land that the situation is just as dramatic. with our world suffocating, under the plastic waves, young belgians are looking at biodegradable alternatives that might actually work as a substitute. and they've found one kind of exotic but sustainable way to create some

truly ecological packaging. all you need to do is grow it out of mushrooms deep in the bowels of brussels. in the sellers of 2 taxi. at one time was a major centre of trade and industry. today another form of commerce and life drives and this labyrinth of passages here on an area of 1000 square meters. oyster mushrooms are grown on a base of organic coffee grounds. within a few weeks, the mushrooms burst out of the plastic bags they were planted in. it may have the look and feel of something out of a horror movie. but the cultivation is clean and free of parasitic insects and bacteria. where did mr. know the for the fun cobra room,

but i would say we're can, we're in the 1st room but on the bids on organic ways that come from the city. pardon moment are only focusing on kathy growth, but the idea from a from to that one day we might have a huge diversity of using different cream of with what makes it feasible. as victoria explains, is that mushrooms can grow in just about anything. all the basic components, hey, mushroom spores and coffee grounds are mixed together in a rotating drum where they're also pasteurized to eliminate harmful microbes. they also put the use substrate from the bags to good use. it's cleaned again and seated with spores of a different mushroom. these grow to become insulation panels or packaging, or even lampshades. it's an idea with

a lot of potential. and the european commission agreed perma funky was awarded a to 1000000 euro grants to help scale up its production for the european market. you see a shopping up a mushroom like this, gross thousands of times faster than a tree thunder. norma volt that open, that's a huge advantage. canoga tradition. our crop takes ridiculously little time compared to industrial petrochemical or natural production, or the job. for now perma phung is known for its high quality mushrooms, especially for again, and food stores. the crop as lovingly trimmed daily by hand. many tasks have deliberately not been automated. with a view at creating more jobs, but once natal jumped on his cargo back to deliver the last of the mushrooms of the stores, he is more than ready to emerge from the sellers into the daylight if

a priest mentioned a drink with spiritual qualities, you don't usually think of whiskey, but that is exactly what a group of catholics from germany had in mind as they embarked on a pilgrimage to scotland. their priest is quite popular amongst parishioners. partially because of the whisky tours, wolfgang rota has been leading for some years now. but also because he's not afraid to break the mold. ah, this seems like good fun. a group of arians on a whisky pilgrimage with a priest leading the way it's been, i'm a church rebel as a step. he is the pastor, the church need thought rinse, if he didn't exist, you'd have to invent him as an he's a man of faith and brains progress to the church id. hello. hello. can you hear me now? oh, wonderful. wow. we're ready to head out here. all right,

you're welcome to the promised land of scotland long with along with the sightseeing both dongle to in his group are touring local distilleries one after the next whiskey says the bavarian priest is holy water with oliver sticks this am i the the most important thing is mindfulness, i void and we don't just go down the alcohol name. we perceive what is offered to us with all our senses and involved. this is, this isn't a wild drinking spree, miss saunders. it's an exercise. and mindfulness come in at the same time exercise in moderation, domestic or the group approaches the tasting with a kind of sober scientific curiosity. some don't taste at all, just sniff nosing mother looking through these windows. you gaze directly at the heavens, ah, ah!

the rugged landscape is a source of solace for both don quota a place he fled to in his thoughts at a time of deep crisis. a bishop tried to rape him in 2004. he remained silent for years out of shame. ah, when he finally broke his silence, nobody believed him. ah, thus most dish insufficient. so can i came to realize that my church unfortunately has a culture of silence. quickbooks, why there were things that desperately needed to be spoken about. inger because that was the only way to get to the bottom of things and move in the right direction in wasting a barn. instead, they just wanted to brush it under the rug and cover it up. logan. hi, mr. das mont. as for pushing master hotel, wrote a book about his story. d at used, bishop sued him, but lost in both

a lower court and on appeal. by breaking with taboos, the priest who holds his service every day of the trip has also succeeded in bringing people back into the folds of the church called tones. ha ah christine left the church more than 30 years ago. even though she still felt close to her faith think i told us that so i was raised catholic and i still feel connected to the catholic church, but it's too confining for me to hear a lot of what they preach is foreign to me. so i left the church with valve gang. i know it's different, different rosie? still sneaking as wolfgang holt as the approach to religion may be unusual, but it works. next, stop is the borders distillery. there's a tour here too. if you cross out,

you're only get punched by smell farther back. it's really nice. so feel free to come up one by one. have a nice old check of it. with the bus driver is waiting outside. he's already driven many tor groups, but the whiskey pilgrims are a favorite. he don't seem to get very drunk. they seem to be interested in how the whiskey is me than weird. it's common psalms stuff like that. so it's not as if they're just knocking them back. so. excellent. so yeah, yeah, i mean, this is no chance obama on the boss, which i'm quite happy about both gunboat does whisky pilgrimage is not only about spirit. it's about spirituality too. it's a bland, that's one. have many fans, and there's already
