eating at home with your family was harvested by people more being exploited. and i teach with the in the green revolution on some, absolutely necessary europe revealed the future is being determined. now, our documentary series will show you how people, companies and countries are rethinking everything. and making later changes you've reviewed this week on d, w. ah, ah, this is focus on europe. i'm la babel allah, welcome to the show. relations between europe and iran are deteriorating fast as

the european union levels, fresh sanctions against to ran for human rights violations. namely, the violent cracked down on people taking part in the uprising while people in cities across europe are showing solidarity with a rounds. protesters with rallies like this one here in london. they are echoing the calls for freedom and equality and demanding a regime change in iran. all summer iranians are travelling to neighboring turkey for a taste of freedom. in the city of fine, many rules of the mala regime. don't apply. women don't have to wear head scarves, people can dance and clubs and drink alcohol. are, as you say, if he is in a rainy and living an exile, who understands their desire for freedom a few days and turkey gives them respite from the troubles at home. but the trip isn't always without risk. ah, almost every evening. it's the same scene and a night club in the eastern turkish city of vaughan. iranians sing the song,

barajo, woman life, freedom at home. it's forbidden. here they can sing it for all to here. ah, ah iranian exile, i ross, you sappy knows the situation in his home country. well, he's a tour guide and eastern turkey and shows iranian tourists around lake vaughan. but his passengers are only marginally interested in the lake. they're really here to have a good time. come on, go ahead, go over that or not. after all, that's why they came to turkey. to do what's forbidden in their home country. i'm not done a job and to get away from the brutal repression of the protests at home. if only for a while. most don't want to speak before the camera. they're afraid of the iranian regime, even when they're outside the country. yourself,

he has less cautious. he's lived in turkey for a long time. ah, if he does so the survivors, they can move more freely here. only that somebody can tell they feel safe on you. i need to do some. they can walk the streets without fear that something will happen. just ruskin, florida will go to tell you your, your love on the city of vaughan and eastern turkey lies about 100 kilometers from the iranian border. iranians don't need a visa to visit turkey. $300000.00 came in the 1st 9 months of this year. i've had 4 people in iran. vaughan is the closest city and what counts as the west on. i feel free here. i like it very much. i'm going to sit iranians also like to come to von to shop. because of the sanctions. many goods are more expensive in iran than in turkey. clothing and textiles are not the only

popular items. dalia are not doing okay to get her medicine has become very expensive and iran, so we buy it here. we're planning to caught, these foreign brands are very good for diseases. we haven't wrong, they get to you don't know how love you, local joslyn wilson and i couldn't help was 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 at 40 economy club cuz we look, we don't have any big companies or factories here. go visit. so that's why this border trade is something of a lifeline for us, but bowl to janet 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 darya show mother called a doctor, whatever they're not allowed to do at home every drink alcohol and other indulgences,

which they do it here with sector. and that bothers many of the locals in gallup loanable day, actually. but others in von aren't bothered by this at all, especially women. they're grateful for the iranian women. with the coffee in the past, you never saw a woman sitting in a cafe alone, not often, but since the iranian women have come, it's become normal. so they're showing us how it's done, mother, and now the men here are used to it, um, continental through almost long, long. 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. buddy, i did use that on sunday. the what i'm the i would really love to settle down in turkey. that he, i love it here and can't wait to come back any more. he unfastened myself aloud, came yesterday to show what he was going. okay. oh yusef,

he also brings his 2 groups to the iranian disco's, he knows that it offers them a taste of freedom that's missing at home. is i author 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. i'm gonna 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,

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 in layover 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 in li 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 them again? the modem, that i j. j. my son, i get regular meal and it's marshall calder that are garcia. i'm in ocean more.

john, i'm over with. i don't have much at home, but i do hear to it's way different here. when i feel like i'm part of the family, the barker was cynthia, each company on the age of indian la familia, such are the children here, were raised in the lower income families and there and weren't provided the care they needed. shakara, warring a chest thumb had been victims of violence or abuse atlanta. yeah, i was only a minute and our job is to protect them, say, and steve them down the right path. se camshaft channel that 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 colored, gentler, full, assuming that jail act got been we've been using electric heaters in the children's wells with an exam. lighter showed electric chair, alamo. man and here in the laundry boom. we wash their clothes,

study when they're on their machine and they asked for that high know i cheers. but electricity prices have shot up so much since the summer and bottom of wooddale crashed it up. it's a lie now. we already have a deficit equivalent to 2 months of our budget tot dental, and i thought lando line could online for the last session. it's a similar situation across the country. more diverse pro european administration is a thorn in moscow side. so russia is wielding as 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. lever, guess frogs,

her has her eyes. this issue or for stop supplying because of not payment in them. now since august, last heroes and her european government is in office who have paid absolutely, absolutely. all. 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 modem 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. newcomers new. all that i'm, we've already received

a gas stove in the lost you yet log in. it'll allow, it seems way too high, but okay, but as i look, i did the, i broke out a bank loan and bought wood this month on all of my income is going towards bills and the loan transcript study of things are hard everywhere will survive for some, but i'd hoped it would be easier for them because he may be in the situation is especially dire for the most vulnerable leo was government wants to keep funding the children's home, but they're also worried about momentum lubricants them. gotcha. right now, expenses have about wi fi, angela, but he still this only pots with me, j g, up, we're really doing everything we possibly can. and if that link us soon get him, cuz portal, we don't want the children to be forced to live in the cold. and copays murphy, it can take a long time to find foster families for the children here. catalina post eco wants

to make sure they have a warm place to call home in the meantime. for them, we can only hope that we find solutions to get the high prices under control this year. another for now though, help seems a long way in coming. well, international donors have pledged millions in additional aid, formal dover, 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 or reporter met with 3 people who are defining

a sexuality on their own terms. menard's lives in hamburg along the reaper bond red light district visitors find porn cinemas, lap dances and sex workers. but leonard isn't interested in any of that. you know, with a certain pressure shopping around the 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 feed us. yeah. for me, it's just about advertisement for something that just means very little to me, to submit for steve. sex doesn't hold the same attraction for leonard as it does for others. he realised that during puberty when 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 signs

or this is mark bound if i can do it and it didn't gross me out, get it. but i just don't care for it and i'd rather not do it now to guide me for 60. but whole a kaya grew up in the countryside near beulah felt as a teen. she just wanted to fit in. although she didn't enjoy sex, she gave in to peer pressure dive you off 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 with them. and that was i'm day when i really loved the person, i'd be intimate with them them and enjoy it over. 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 in try the market occupants like what i

thought maybe i was gay because if i right, it's a girl's unseen them, then i must be attracted to guys. young. those are the 2 choices. on the 6th, every one had to feel sexual attraction of some kind of not. but after a little while, i realised that wasn't it either. off me leonard was in his early thirties when he learned about a 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. as gunshot for conversation, does it naked 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 it in so samples on. so it doesn't bother me at all. if i know that person is already involved with somebody else for you,

because 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 sailboat 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. when 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 it on i so why shouldn't love and relationships work without sex? it's not really necessary for a relationship. soon it's 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

a sexual and we're looking for an, a sexual female partner who not to live in. then since you monkeys me, if any been somebody who wasn't a sexual, i would have had to ask them to go without sex. and i don't want that if i'm, if we don't miss it, so it's not a sacrifice oxygen. that's what i prefer. i mean, give me miss on o 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 soon as he husking to leave 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

martin a kaya. they all experienced their a sexuality very differently. but they all have one thing in common. they don't want anyone 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 ot day? no high tech simulators are needed. the volcanic landscape offers the astronauts a taste what's to come with. lance o t i go on them over were american and european astronauts or training

for their joint lunar mission. the island location was chosen because it resembles the moon and mars of future destination. the team includes german astronaut alexander, guest hurdle. he's a promising candidate for these missions and tongue of late, like by 20 degrees in their training. they're trying to find a specific type of rock rocks that tell stories. yvonne, that with his own obesity lice, kish 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, and they are shielded from radiation one milligram. it will be very interesting to take a closer look when we get to mars with us. i may be find out if the universe is teeming with life on and then select. i'll then of this, when it has am for this for live long. but 1st, it's off to the moon. most likely in 3 to 4 years.

around 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 an work class in austin is cuz she school because the moon is basically an open history book. and yadda, yadda has rocks that are 3 point. 8000000000 years old and like on earth is although we have the same history, one foot over the surface of the moon hasn't been as effective by erosion decides. so it's a place where we can study our own pat. if a gang had listen, you might have this week, they've been practicing what to look for after a moon landings. but every time you see this year, it's very nice because you see i was in la on 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 board here 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 anything, ever, longevity we have a problem. but then alexander guest arrives at his destination about an hour past schedule. we this give one does off the air, down to you by ends up on earth. we're used to having satellite receivers and communication everywhere is nice, but on the moon we have none of that has so sustained. we have to bring our own navigation and communication system, the sensors, and we need to be tested media, ideally the entire system, the steam 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

. my telephone, just to watch this ruins, mitchell. we're also looking at the impact craters of media rights to see how old they are as if a tile, how they're spaced on times. these are the hawk does. this could tell us something about the risk of a media, right? hitting stetson, mitchell. it's a fun stuff. there go cell phones up and we know what could happen us is we don't know exactly what the probability is here and how important it is to prepare ourselves. uses the sphere one sec. if we study this on the moon, we can better protect early morning fortune home done. the ada basics 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 morning, or flashed 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

to use the resources there in b, b, i splitting water molecules into breathable air and fuel as a lot to do not but we're getting ready off. and as i still skipped a few to tune up, i did right in the software, the my 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 other worldly, but this time it's in denmark, artist here, anderson store in the capital. copenhagen is a gem that in chance it's visitors. anderson arranges flowers, but he is 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

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. my income 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. my daughter in law. originally he planned 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 in 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, the clients were asking for 1st of all of to do things that he liked and,

and then hopefully that he could turn seduce people to buy it. so i think it's her a very lovely attitude for, for 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 terran humphrey came all the way from the united states to work with and learn from tiaa 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 that's part of what makes tia anderson's art 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
