6:34 am
clothing and textiles are not the only popular items. don't worry about not doing okay to get medicine as become very expensive and iran, so we buy it here. i'm with one of because these foreign brands are very good for diseases. we have an iran like it to, you don't know about the local jostens on wilson avenue. it also benefits the turkish shop. owners says they're struggling under the high inflation. meanwhile, their customers from neighboring iran are helping them stay afloat. 40 economies are cut costly that the we don't have any medicaid companies or factories here copays it. so that's why this border trade is something of a lifeline for us, but bowl teacher. it gives them some other local residents are not quite as enthusiastic about the visitors. conservative muslims complained that the iranians are bringing sinful behavior to the city. you don't know. yeah. show mother caught it all clue whatever they're not allowed to do at home every drink alcohol and other indulgences,
6:35 am
which they do it here will sector. and that bothers many of the locals in yellow, loanable day, actually. but others in von, aren't bothered by this at all. especially women. they're grateful for the iranian women office as the coffee in the past. you never saw a woman sitting in a cafe alone coffin, but since the iranian women have come, it's become normal stuff, but they're showing us how it's done mother. and now the men here are used to at home, couldn't handle through all the slums, little ones. but the iranians don't sit in cafes at night. they go to the cities discos with iranian music. and iranian d j's. the guests feel right at home here. but he added, who's that? i'm sorry, the what i'm the i would really love to settle down in turkey, daddy. i love it here and can't wait to come back any more. he unfastened myself a lot came today to show what he was going on. k r, as you said,
6:36 am
he also brings his 2 groups to the iranian discos. he knows that it offers them a taste of freedom that's missing at home. did i alter talk? yeah, they can really let off steam here in the disco. you look at a few alcoholic drinks are also part of the fun, of course, macareola's. but even this party only lasts till morning. then it's back to iran, back to the unknown. a short time later, we were told that 2 of the returning tourists were detained and interrogated by iranian police at the border. the war and ukraine is having a big impact on its small neighbor, the republic of moldova, the impoverished nation has taken in hundreds of thousands of ukrainian refugees. the countries residents are now in for a tough winter, and the town of lava is no exception. moldova is dependent on russian gas,
6:37 am
but it also wants to join the you and is supportive of its stance against moscow. but now, less gas is flowing from russia. and that's a major concern for staff at a children's home and lay over who are worried that supplies will be cut off for good. it's still warm in the dining room for now. lunch is being served in the children's home only over in western moldova. but director catalina plastic, i was worried about the winter energy and food prices arising and she fears for the children's well being. for many here is the 1st place where they feel safe and secure. good gosh, i was in my so good on school. i feel safer here than at home. i g. at so much better here. did you change your my be in the multiple that are j sharon? listen, i get regular meal and it's warm feel. go, lulu? that are garcia. i'm in ocean morton. i'm of with, i don't have much at home,
6:38 am
but i do hear to it's way different here. i feel like i'm part of the family debacle, was didn't age company or the age of indian la familia, such as the children here were raised in lower income families in there and weren't provided the care they needed. shakara, warring a chest thumb had been victims of violence or abuse, salenti m, i was away for a minute and our job is to protect them, say and steer them down the right path. se, camshaft ha, you leave the director is used to getting by on a shoestring budget, but the war a neighboring ukraine has made things much worse. a large share of their budget is now going to energy costs. and covered are generally val, assuming that jelic i've been, we've been using electric heaters in the children's rooms with the design lighter, showed elected chair alamo. man. and here in the laundry room,
6:39 am
we washed their clothes, study when they're on the machine. and they asked for that high no, ha ha, but electricity prices have shot up so much since the summer on bottom of woodville clear stood up. it's a lie now. we already have a deficit equivalent to 2 months of our budget tot dental will not allow to live no line. good online for the last wish. it's a similar situation across the country. more the most pro european administration is a thorn and moscow side. so russia is wielding its most effective weapon, gas. russia controls the breakaway regional trends, nice drea were gas is used to produce electricity. normally this covers 2 thirds of mold of us power needs. demand is high because the entire country uses electric heating even buses are electric. now russia has cut gas exports, claiming that mold of a has failed to make payments, and never ever gets prompts her has her eyes this issue or
6:40 am
for stop supplying because of not payment inc. m. now, since august, last here, listen. her european government is in office who have paid absolutely. absolutely . oh ah, in, in, in, in time. oh our, the energy crisis is a threat to mold of us existence. and that's one reason why the president of the european commission rushed to the more dove and capital key. she now to promise aid to the country after all, moldova is now an e. u. candidate. winter is just around the corner and it can be long and cold and lay over people here already spending over half their income just on energy again, newcomers new. oh that, i mean, we've already received
6:41 am
a gas stove. the miller steam yak, log in. it'll allow, it seems way too high, but a key, but it's called, i look, i did the, i broke out a bank loan and bought wood this month. and all of my income is going towards bills and the loan could still diggity of things are hard everywhere. well survive for some, but i'd hoped it would be easier for him because he may be in the situation is especially dire for the most vulnerable layovers government wants to keep funding the children's home. but they're also worried. ramble, ma'am, to make like one of them got right now, expenses have about doubled away a single dollar that he still this in the pots with images job. we're really doing everything we possibly can. and if that income soon given him good football, we don't want the children to be forced to live in the cold cookies. murphy, it can take a long time to find foster families for the children here,
6:42 am
catalina plastique wants to make sure they have a warm place to call home in the meantime, you listed, and we can only hope that we find solutions to get the high prices under control this year. for now though, hope seems a long way in coming. what international donors have pledged millions in additional aid for mold over at a conference in paris. what is it like to be a sexual? the term is defined as a lack of sexual attraction to others. in germany, it's thought that around one percent of the population identifies as a sexual though experts say it's possible that number is even higher. given that the sexual identity is still not very well known. people like leonard from northern germany want to set the record straight. a sexuality is not a disorder, but a conscious step towards living a self determined life. our reporter met with 3 people who are defining
6:43 am
a sexuality on their own terms. menard's lives in hamburg. along the reaper, bon red light district visitors find porn cinemas, lap dances and sex workers. but leonard isn't interested in any of that with a certain treasure shop at robbie 20th to me. that's just a trashy image or i wouldn't think, oh, breast it. you know, i want to go touch some said us. yeah. for me it's just about advertisement for something that just means very little to me too much for steve. sex doesn't hold the same attraction for leonard as it does for others. he realised that during puberty, suddenly everybody was talking about it, but he couldn't understand what all the fuss was about. even so he gave it a try, sat with me hope to hear shopping, but i've just never understood what so great or special about it is on those lines
6:44 am
or this is mark bound. i can do it and it didn't gross me out, did it? but i just don't care for it and i'd rather not do it now to guy. and if assisted you with a kaya grew up in the countryside near below, felt as a teen, she just wanted to fit in. although she didn't enjoy sex, she gave in to peer pressure dive you of the ships hit her, no matter how many times i said i still wasn't enjoying it or had no desire for it . i know i always got the same response system and that was some day when i really loved the person, i'd be intimate with them and enjoy it for the. but that just never happened to off of on her earth come hartney sack says never meant anything to martin either. not even as a tin. he didn't understand his feelings. so he looked for other explanations. i tried to market ocoee conflict, what i thought maybe i was gay because if i,
6:45 am
i did the girls on seeing them that i must be attracted to guys did youngest. so those are the 2 choices. on the 6th, everyone had to build sexual attraction of some kind of not. but after a little while, i realized that wasn't it either. off me leonard was in his early thirties when he learned about any sexuality. a few years later, he came out as a sexual. he now lives without sex, and the inconveniences that came along with it. free from the pressure of romantic relationships, friendships with both men and women are now especially important to him. is comstock for congress, each physician echoed us. sometimes i noticed that a person is important to me, but that doesn't mean that i want to be with them constantly or in a relationship with them so much from within those answers on. so it doesn't bother me at all. if i know that person is already involved with somebody else because
6:46 am
wellness for lunch, but i'd sooner but see you for martin. it was different. even if the element of sexual attraction was missing, he'd always longed for a steady relationship. he met his future wife on a sail boat when he was in his mid twenties. for a long time, they didn't have sex. mentioned it said emma, people always say love and sex belong together. and does this mean they can't be separated as complex? that's a total nonsense escape. so filament. so many people have sex without love, otherwise, brothels would all go out of business the home. so i didn't i so why shouldn't love and relationships work without sex? it's not really necessary for a relationship. soon. me a kaya also wanted a relationship. she and marilyn are happy together. they don't have sex. they prefer activities like making costumes together. they met on a dating website where they both stated they were
6:47 am
a sexual and we're looking for an, a sexual female partner. oh, not of of him. then sits in mont, confusing me, even if it had been somebody who wasn't a sexual, i would have had to ask them to go without sex. and i don't want that miss on this . we don't miss it. so it's not a sacrifice fancy. that's what i prefer. i'm. it gives me bizarre. oh martin and his wife don't miss regular sex either. she accepts his a sexuality. but that doesn't mean they aren't close. ah, this is he sued us, he fuss king louis when i get my wife and i don't have anything against touch. i always say we fall asleep every night in each other's arms. i envy ne auto but never or very, very rarely does it lead to what you'd call sex 6 men. we don't need it. i've and we don't miss it. went off his men art
6:48 am
martin a kaya. they all experienced their a sexuality very differently. but they all have one thing in common. they don't want any one telling them what intimacy really means. it's a place where only americans have walks the last one being 50 years ago. but the moon is about to go international as europeans are preparing for their 1st lunar voyage in a joint mission with nasa. so how to train for the trip of a lifetime while space travelers are flocking to the canary island of lands or what day? no high tech simulators are needed. the volcanic landscape offers the astronauts a taste what's to come nonzero t i go on them over where american and european astronauts are training for
6:49 am
their joint lunar mission. the island location was chosen because it resembles the moon and mars a future destination. the team includes german astronaut alexandre guest riddle. he's a promising candidate for these missions and song of late, like by 20 degrees in their training. they're trying to find a specific type of rock rocks that tell stories. if one that was opened or before lies is trista, we want to examine whether there might be other forms of life in outer space. liam's you relieved some of that life might have survived in the lava caves on mars, where conditions are above 0 degrees celsius and that and they are shielded from radiation one milligram. it will be very interesting to take a closer look when we get to mars us. i may be find out if the universe is teeming with life on, on down select alan of this one evasive for this for live on. but 1st, it's off to the moon. most likely in 3 to 4 years.
6:50 am
around the the astronauts will stay in constant radio contact with scientists on earth. they'll help them find the right kind of rocks more easily than during the apollo missions some 50 years ago. okay, that's in work class often is she school because the moon is basically an open history book. and yadda, yadda has rocks that are 3800000000 years old. and like on earth. although we have the same history, one foot over the surface of the moon, hasn't been inspected by erosion decides, so it's a place where we can study our own passage for gang had leave you my office this week. they've been practicing what to look for after a moon landings. but every time you see that all yes, actually here, it's very nice because you see by rosenblatt only then they radio, the scientists moon to earth. is this a good spot to take? rock samples. have made a decision whether we're that boy here,
6:51 am
let us know. otherwise we will proceed out of the crater in. eventually, astronaut alexander guest makes his way to another crater and lose his contact with a trainer team. and no longer has the information he needs. anybody can hear me. well, if anybody, me, longevity, we have a problem. but then alexander guest arrives at his destination about an hour past schedule. this give warned us off the air down to you by the ins at on earth. we're used to having satellite receivers and communication everywhere listening, but on the moon we have none of that has so sustained. we have to bring our own navigation and communication system the semester. i may need to be tested media. ideally the entire system is esteem of i, my testing cut. they continue across the island, searching for the kinds of things they'll also be looking for on their moon mission
6:52 am
. my telephone, just to watch disturbance, mitchell. we were also looking at the impact traders of media rights to see how old they are. if a tile, how they're spaced on times, these are the holsters. this could tell us something about the risk of a media, right? hitting earth, us, and mitchell. it's a fun status here go. cell phone jumped on. we know what could happen is we don't know exactly what the probability is. you and how important it is to prepare ourselves. is this this year one sec. if we study this on the moon, we can better protect our morning flash and home done. the ada. essex's con, alexander guest has already spent about a year in space. most recently as the commander of the i s s. he's carried out more than $100.00 experiments, and soon he might be part of an even bigger mission. a lunar landing and establishing a research station on the moon of more than a forest, as one resource stations on the moon like on tarka, are going to be a challenge because we can't bring much with us. when can we have to be sustainable?
6:53 am
to use the resources there, india like splitting water molecules into breathable air and fuel a lot to do not but we're getting ready off and it's nice to skipped a few. a tune of, of it brightness, stuff for and that includes this 6 day training course online, so rotate. one thing's for sure. it's no walk in the park. now to another place that's otherworldly, but this time it's in denmark, artist tear anderson's store in the capital. copenhagen is a gem that in chance it's visitors. anderson arranges flowers, but he's no florist. his unique arrangements are more like works of art. anderson is a free spirit who has carved out his old genre in the botanical world. and his curious creations have attracted a cult following, ah, stepping into this flower shop in copenhagen is almost like stepping into hans christian anderson's fairy tale world. it's the domain of
6:54 am
a man who shares with denmark's renown story teller both the love for fantasy and dream scapes and a surname tear. anderson has become something of a legend. among florists. i is come is what i love most about plants and flowers. that's hard to say, as it hits the totality of their magic as cabinet, they transform a space into a perfect unity made brother in law. originally he'd plan to become a pastry maker, but then decided he could express his own creativity, better through flowers, phases and installations. he's been doing just that for over 50 years now. he even designed an entire country estate and sweden, flowers and steel, are his hallmarks. he's also worked for the danish royal family. his husband moans helps him run. the shop is never interested in the market. and what the clients were asking fall festival uttered to do things that he liked and,
6:55 am
and then hopefully that he could turn seduce people to buy it. so i think it's her a very lovely attitude. and from, from, for a businessman, the shop a seems more like a studio one that receives international visitors, for instance, from china. on busy days, customers have to pay a small admission, so things don't get too crowded. florist teran humphrey came all the way from the united states to work with and learn from tia anderson. there's not many people that think like tay am and because that it couldn't really exist anywhere else outside of denmark. i would say there is no guarantee that even top selling items like this vase can insure the shops survival in high priced copenhagen. but perhaps
6:56 am
that's part of what makes tia anderson's are so special gets in permanence. a magical place if you're a lover of flowers and gardens like me. well, that brings us to the end of this week's program. thank you so much for your company today. and don't forget to visit d, w dot com for more stories from focus on europe. bye for now. with with
