a major players with dangerous people overseas that yeah, we are here. we're patrolling the area now the courts are main reshuffle has the best heard. russia is quite economic in the arctic. if you see something that looked like james bond, it has to do with starts december 23rd on w. ah, this is focus on europe. i'm labriola welcome. miss isles are hitting civilian targets in ukraine. once again knocking out power and water supplies. the

destruction of energy infrastructure has led to power cut across the country, even in cities in ukraine's far west like live residents have been left in the dark and in freezing temperatures. in the capital key, the deep metro stations are offering shelter from the bombardments will, in ukraine's nor the fears of renewed russian attacks are growing. these ukrainian soldiers are stationed on the border with belarus and are keeping a watchful eye on their neighbor, bella ruth, which is allied with russia, is allowing putin's troops to use it's territory as the deployment area. when the war started in february, russian soldiers try to advance on the capital. keep from this region in belarus. ukrainian soldiers and share near are on high alert. determined not to let the enemy pass through the north once again in the foreign north of ukraine. there's no cell reception, so maps lead us towards the border with belin bruce,

the region of charity. he'd fell when russia invaded in february, but in april, ukraine took it back at those good thick nika, this is russian equipment be left behind while retreating on her. yours in law and there's tons of it in our forrest us of the remote deposit. we patrol these positions this forest. i a horrible, and these are like trophies like yet. we're very proud of the ukrainian armed forces in this russian cannon is now being deployed by the ukrainian military. the soldiers here are on constant alert. they are damaged though. so as we're, i think anything's possible. but that was like just because they're losing along other for wednesday mother. so they might decide to start a new one here. look for if that i some of them to metro used to work for the railway. in almost 9 months of war. he spent just 2 weeks with his family. he has a lot of anger towards russia. what a fun yet with with boilers of those lime angry little but because they've endorse a civilian death. lucy morale if this were a proper war only,

but it would only be soldiers dying to quickly do that. but when a nation celebrates the death of children during air raids, he li, disabled children even little that makes me angry at ocean. again, my name is luasa with maxime from sharon. a heave has also been deployed here. well, he's just 20 years old. that wouldn't need fear in love with florida. yeah. picture poster. i'm in great physical condition. yeah. i'm a quick learner and we're here. we're not split up into age groups here. you and i so we all have one task done. the mainland for dylan, though that was negative already with my comrades are between 18 and 60 years old and not still yet. your daughters were all equal her birth and that on this ukrainian village along the border is afraid of fresh attacks. the russian military is said to be just 30 kilometers away, but hardly any one wants to leave good day. yup. or you how can i leave it? i was on her. yeah, i raised my own and other people's children hair. yup. or where am i supposed to go

to hor? yup. where you do? pensioner. valentina has also spent her entire life in this village yet. she recalls the fearful moments of the attacks early this year when it would bid, as numerous, nebo law avenue. we were attacked in february ali with the young daughter, hon. us, god. oh, there was a whole homeboy vehicles along our street. her dog dialysis too short. we were so scared we couldn't sleep night or day even is but and then at 10 at night they started launching these bright muscles, which at least that he lacked the decade mister, it just showed me that i keep that miniature valentine as children are in the regional capital of cheer in a heave, but she's not thinking about joining them. there yet casual night. this is our home at me. we were born here that we're not going anywhere. mean you could. the nippy demonstrates the russians rated the village store when they invaded in february, says anna, a sales clerk here. it pains her to see how neighbouring bella. ruth has sided with

a russian military luncheon, lucy than me is below. we used to be friends with belarus at the beautiful, but now i have a bad impression of them and you doesn't. now you, they used to go shopping in china, he's and now they've made us down elemy soup to deal with the bulk of gum yet the bill said they will hump a spelling man in the forest are preparing for the worst. alexey is a former veterinarian with 3 children and 3 grandchildren, and he's fighting for them in new york are true. sure, but the way lost them. my grandchildren have already learned what war is. are you looking for a doctor? they know about shelling most of the groups that they've lost friends. my son is also in the military. i'm in the military. seeing my son in law is there's a lot to lose graham, and you only live once, isn't up. but if someone's head, it should be me and not my children or grandchildren. new york, jim wade, you to look at the situation remains tense. russia is conducting air raids on

ukraine from bella roofs and likely receiving belushi. and tanks and attack could come at any moment while the war in ukraine has also triggered hardship in other european countries. greece is grappling with rising living costs. and in the capital athens, one neighborhood is pulling together to help those in need. ex are here is a historically socialist area with a strong community spirit. marta lives there and she treasures this sense of solidarity. now she's fighting to keep the spirit alive during times of change. from a birds eye view athens, its archaea neighbourhood looks like any other densely populated district in the greek capital. but when you look closer, you realize it's more diverse, young and alternative than other neighborhoods.

and there's greeter solidarity says, matic estrus you. the actor has lived in this liberal neighborhood for 6 years. you can go to the shopper, even if you don't have money to buy the grocery to the coffee shop, to eat sound thing and you know, we know each other. so we can leave here without having sometimes money. that's why more and more people are moving here in these economically tough times, including immigrants and those with limited means. el chef is a neighborhood kitchen that gives meals to people in meet at the mall. this is our message. here is the best cooking together and serving meals in solidarity. yes. all my, you know, the people here cook around 200 meals a day. maybe they the local authorities who should actually be looking after these people tell the homeless and refugees to come here. but that's no problem. if everyone get something to eat here, nothing. and nobody's going. we don't receive any subsidies, some hot

b. but this building has been squat since 2008. and i'm gonna double medicaid out of you haven't looked all squats and protests of a long history and ex archaea de spinner, colette, the ducky, remembers the student protests against the greek military hunter. when she was a little girl, a major student uprising here at athens, polytechnic. was violently shut down in november 1973. the organs work or the venue. we saw trucks with soldiers driving towards the university. they were singing marching songs, the corn that we realized it would get bloody and sought safety prog. whether we will never forget those crimes x r k is proud of its history. the movement that exists here to day follows and the tradition of the student protests but for the old rebels and newcomers alike,

the area is getting more expensive. the cost of rent is claiming and the number of holiday apartments for tourists is growing. sometimes violent protests erupt in the area during the night. but most residents late matter prefer peaceful protests and ex archeologist don't know. there's currently a lot of attention on the neighborhood central square, which is under construction to add a new subway station. a large fence protects the site and there's a round the clock police presence that someone might matter agrees, sublease or a good thing. but that they could have built the stop elsewhere. she thinks authorities are trying to push locals out of this area. would be out to be a fi. residents were not involved in the planning. even though this will destroy

the only public square in the neighborhood. it's one of the few places where we can come together, where children can play some of the co manager, we up at the bottom of the film and look under but yet shakes. 3 years ago a minister of the conservative government came to this square and announced it would be taken back valley medical loveday said cecil, we'll return the square to the people we will in the lawlessness failure. thanks to our party, neo democrats, yeo this will become a normal square again. lethia. most people in athens, however, have no problem with a sarcasm, tentative charm. residence from all over come together at the neighborhoods weekly market. i'm about what's wrong with occupying a building that's been vacant for years. if that saves you living on the streets, you're not driving anyone out with a group of locals have gathered in the small

park to discuss how the area can be made more appealing if they want to make the improvements themselves. but police officers watched them suspiciously very, very developmentally the public open space is adding danger in athens. and i don't know around the whole country the people of ex archaea want to preserve its unique character. and matto wants to keep promoting a life of solidarity and sustainability. even if the neighborhoods feature looks uncertain the baltic sea is like a 2nd home to over cougar and his grandson. it's where the elder passes his knowledge of fishing to a younger generation, but making a living on the sea isn't what it used to be. that's because pollution and climate

change have drastically altered the condition of the water. fish are few and far between. and that's despite attempts to revive the ecosystem, parts of the baltic sea are suffocating as oxygen levels deplete. to record lows, the cleaning up the see also means paying close attention to what's happening on land. moving kruger has been fishing around the german island of who's a dome since he was 5. he was one of more than 200 fishers, and his hometown of all veg now is the last one left. but over still takes his grandchildren out to see, to pass on his knowledge them on moiety fisher. i making a living from fishing, a luminous tough oh, you don't have much chance with today's fuel prices on monday. if you market the fish yourself, you could just about make it. i have our home and all language on this year. his grandson niels is the only apprentice fisher here in sas nits on the baltic sea. he

wants to make fishing his career just like his father and grandfather, despite the uncertain future and dwindling stars. nozzle, i, it's my customer one or 2 boxes per net wouldn't be bad. that's $20.00 to $30.00 q lucy. they don't even get 2 boxes out of the water to day. some of the fish are too small and half to be thrown back. all in all, it's far too little to live from. where did the fish go? there have been strict catch quotas for years. why are stocks not recovering? fisher? you've at krueger blames the birds. he says they're taking all the fish. but researchers that the tuning institute in rostock suspect, the lack of oxygen. they set up a research area in the baltic. they wanted to find out how much oxygen there is in the water and how high the temperatures rise. a few months later,

they had the data they needed. program director christopher timmerman says the results are devastating. a bunions of joel directed from june, we were under the critical concentrations and from august there just wasn't any oxygen there. she like that might be an error was good. but you can see that the oxygen concentration is getting lower and lower. apple doesn't far from the start of august, it's 0 and that doesn't change. massive summer i'll go blooms are the problem. when the algae die, they dropped to the sea bed and are broken down by oxygen consuming bacteria. this create zones that can no longer support life called dead zones. dashed with descent called her being sandwiched between high temperatures near the surface and oxygen depletion. down below by august, there's new space left is kind the oper water is too warm and the deeper water has new oxygen to bomb begun. so which means no more called eligible flight. and that's

exactly what we're hearing from the fissures in old us was before the or not catching called anymore. here. not just any kind of document for this phenomenon isn't new. but in recent years, there's been more algy and the dead zones are growing. why are the algae growing so intensively living? we join environmental action germany to investigate near the odor river in brandenburg. there are big farms here for fattening chickens that produce a lot of manure. in both of them is gutierrez asked, the manure is picked up from the farms and spread on to the fields. the plants take up some of it, but not all. that's because in germany, they're allowed to use excessive amounts feed. this excess ends up in the ground water and streams that flow across our landscape via these streams, the many are quickly reaches the odor and then the baltic. and in the order on me that order in the aussie in poland to their farms right on the banks of the odor

for years. now, heavy fertilization has left phosphorus and nitrogen concentrations too high, both of which are found in manure of just the summer. there was a major fish die out in the odor. ostensibly triggered by excess algae. there's still a thick carpet of red algy on the surface. this is that fun mentioned what we're that's caused by humans and humans have to stop it and do better. so my conclusion, it enrages me, this is, that's all there is to it, the 5th of anguish. that's why you've a kruger seeing fewer and fewer fish. how long can that continue? that i ha, ha, ha, maybe 5 years or 4. if they don't raise the quote a soon, then no one will be able to continue. either. we just want to maintain this cultural legacy wherever. if the health of the baltic doesn't improve the culture, a legacy family tradition and the attire baltic fishing industry might soon go

under who invented the french fry. both france and belgium claimed to have introduced this guilty pleasure to the world. though fries aren't the healthiest option on the menu, there's no need for a guilty conscience, especially if you order them in the north of france. the region is famous for its crispy golden potatoes, and specialties like french fries with mussels. and the fat used for frying the potatoes is also in high demand for early morale that presents an opportunity to do something good for the planet. she is taking part in a local initiative that turns fat into fuel. with the hope that one day more vehicles will be powered by this salty side dish, french fries, or a favorite food in northern france. or a ye marell fries them up by the killer. soon it will be lunchtime, after kiosk lafitte availing, was valid. who knows?

what this load is ready in 6 minutes, the chop potatoes are cooked twice in the oil to make them extra crispy or a li uses 100 liters of oil a week for 2 year she's been done eating her old left to her oil. i cra recycling our waist is important to us. it's a huge issue with fast food restaurants with the project is right here in our community live and it's good for the environment and creates jobs. so there are only advantages that google the google google carlo, but he actually works for the non profit company. jekyll, he comes every 2 or 3 weeks to release kiosk and picks up the old oil. carlos employer mix it into biodiesel. valley broo, the french fry stands are the biggest donators of oil in the north. you lose like today then it school cafeterias. is it on the smoke?

we get some from places like hospitals, but people eat less french fries there to see why was my multiple good trip. carlos takes the old oil directly into the filtration building. there it's put through several cycles and different machines that fills rope potato remnants, other residues and water. michelle miller is set up the non profit company 15 years ago. in the lab, he demonstrates that his fuel isn't just filter cooking oil. a process is used to meet the greasy waste into biodiesel. all over fellers. you ever need an oxygen? we create a reaction. i'm mixing alcohol with the oil. do that good. he she. now i feel to think that, you know, it's a natural reaction, but it takes time of a school. nuclear allows you to, that's why we add an enzyme to speed up the whole thing got accused of a acute. and in that way, i'll take good all the oils completely transformed into biodiesel. man theory mortgage isn't 10 liters of frying oil,

mixed 9 liters of fuel and at the garbage truck depot in the town of bathroom brewing, it goes right into fuel tanks. 3 trucks are already running on biodiesel soon. the whole fleet will do the same model. it's going well and it doesn't stink it works just like it did before. at around one you do. 30 per liter filling up is slightly cheaper than regular diesel, but consumption is about 10 percent higher. the decision to switch fuels was more for environmental than economic reasons. by using frying oil, the town wants to reduce greenhouse gas emissions of the garbage fleet by 90 percent this is all sundance calculated for the entire production chain of the fuel . and we don't have to transport it very far because it's locally produced oxy. does that all reduces greenhouse gases significantly when it comes to particulars and we're 60 percent lower than normal diesel? solander, you've shown the apostrophe measurable. the fact that garbage trucks are allowed to

fill up with 100 percent frying old diesel is due to a special exception for such transport fleets. the diesel substitute isn't approved for use on the streets and france. only small amounts. the lunch time, customers are standing in line at or a lease kiosk. the friars are bubbling. there's a good market for used oil, but or a li, decided to donate hers to the biodiesel company. isn't having uni i give all i there are companies that will buy old oil it, so i could be making a profit from it. levin is, but the benefit i get is being environmentally and socially responsible and that's worth it when i think they live. exactly. and those french fries just taste so much better when you've got a clear conscience. the yearning to retreat from the world is something many of us can relate to and our day and age for brother fmi, it's been a reality for nearly 20 years. he renounced modern life to spend his days in

solitude in an ancient cave in the mountains of moldova. he gets by without basic necessities such as heating in winter. though ever me as a recluse he relies on his faith to keep his spirit alive. ah, brother, after me is keen to get home after the daily service in the nearby monastery. and that involves walking about a dozen steps down into this rock formation. this side served as a refuge from monks even back in medieval times. i you joke. they say monks have been living here since the 13th century. treat issue according to the encyclopedia britannica. it since the 12th century, i thought she could do it. we don't have any archive she. so we just have a rough idea. what do you, my shock, okay, much, you know now he's the only one left living here for the past 18 years with no water electricity, or heating. but he does have

a little church fmi used to work as an electrician and had a wife and children. he won't tell us why he gave everything up to live alone. but even as a child during communism, he was fascinated by religion. the children be here to go with him. he had gone. i secretly attended church from about 1955 to 1960. their toys doesn't appear when it wasn't really allow you did to who did in the church. there was an area with a bard window. duck viola be here to go. i was in 2nd grade or so used to get out there to push ship your duck. and i remember how i would grab hold of the bars. much young troop with him will and not let go until the service was over. when we did nicely with whom i did him drama, la gregory shooting, heard india's medulla. ben through noon joe garage miller's manners nowadays. he spends his time studying taxes by candlelight and reciting long prayers management

team is to ensure tucker seattle between them. when i pray, it gives me a sort of peace, genius and sometimes pain, but they aren't directly related or closer look like it's ball be not pain and easily prediction what she yeah. oh shiny. tom ok now and then have the villagers come to ask him to pray for their dad. they pay him with a loaf of bread or some money. leave them that there's also a growing number of tourists interested in the cave monastery to day. some curious folks from japan have come to pay a visit. fmi is happy to show the way you can kind of it. when i came here 18 years ago and people just stumble then i used to shout at them whom was communion? a bit to bomb the other. i'm calmer these days and when i speak to them done with i'm a little more difficult. the world comes to him. he wants nothing to

do with the world any more. after me traveled a great deal when he was young to day, the field from his narrow balcony in front of his cave is quite enough. as a hermit, what does he know about the world out there? the war in ukraine? for example. this will usually if with this or is complicated, but it has spiritual causes to doland. regina brother ethan, he doesn't want to say much more about that. the war is painful for the orthodox monk. does he have any counsel for humanity? she b, deducing good will, eczema might be modest in your desires up her. lucy, lisa could do what you ought to do rather than what you want. if you believe that gigi and then maybe you will do the right thing. you guys have i q and it will be beneficial. i say i so she but she, she colo,

that's his message. from solitude. perhaps he don't have to be too close to the world to give it the right advice. living the simple life in a complex world. well, that's all from us this week and focus on europe. thank you so much for watching. i'll see you again. ah. ah, with

who a the entire digital world depends on them. semi conductor is the nano technology behind all electronic can you still dominate the market?

now the us wants to reclaim position as a global competitor. can europe keep made in germany 30 minutes on d w? well, and is government have been in office for a year now? it's been a tough 12 months for the new german chancellor with the ongoing pandemic inflation . and of course, the war in ukraine and all that comes from that. in many ways, all of source has transformed the country and we seem to understand just what that means for all of you out there. so do tuning on all platforms for you by d, w. ah. and we're interested in the global economy. our portfolio d w. business beyond. here's a closer look at the project. our mission. to analyze the fight for market

dominance. get a step ahead with d w. business beyond the world cup in could talk about that because i feel in 1410 version in 40 because we are here for you with the report and background information about the football figures on everything you knew about the 2022 world cup on d, w mm hm.
