a is on its way to bring you more conservation. how do we make cities, or how can we protect to have a chance? what to do with all our ways? we can make a difference by choosing smart solutions, overstaying our ways, global ideas, environmental series and industry 1000. auntie online with this is focused 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 roost, which is allied with russia, is allowing brutus troops to use it's territory as the deployment area. when the war started in february, russian soldiers try to advance on the capital. steve, 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 is no cell reception. so maps lead us towards the border with bella bruce,

the region of charity. he'd fell when russia invaded in february, but in april, ukraine took it back. it those good, thick new cook. this is russian equipment they left behind while retreating on her . yours in law, and there's tons of it in our for leslie room. let that believe we patrol these positions this forest israel horbeth. and these are like trophies acute that we're very proud of the ukranian armed forces in this russian cannon is now being deployed by the ukrainian military. the soldiers here are on constant alert. they aluminum though. so was what i think anything's possible for them was like just because they're losing along other front, steamy mother. so they might decide to start a new one here 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 funny with with boilers of those lime angry road, but because they've endorsed civilian death. lucy morality. if this were

a proper war only, but it would only be soldiers dying. do that. but when a nation celebrates the death of children during air raids, he li, disabled children, even little, that makes me angry. dodging good night is lhasa. right. so what maxime from sharon, a heave has also been deployed here. well, he's just 20 years old. wouldn't need fill them up with a loaner. yeah, thanks for those 2. 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 more than you for dylan though that was made, there already was my comrades are between 18 and 60 years old. i'm not stillia english, we're all equal her birth 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 you if i was, you know, on her, the 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 new lest nebo law avenue, we were attacked in february ali, what's the young daughter? haven't us go lower? there was a homeboy vehicles along our street. her dialysis stood 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, which just showed me that i keep that miniature valentine as children are in the regional capital of charity heave, but she's not thinking about joining them. say yet casual. nice. this is our home at me. we were born here that we're not going anywhere. mean good thing. the p demonstrates the russians rated the village store when they invaded in february, says ana, a sales clerk here. it pains her to see how neighboring bella,

ruth has sided with a russian military. then said lucy, than me is belittle. we used to be friends with galleries at the beautiful, but now i have a bad impression of them and you doesn't know. they used to go shopping in china heath and now they've made us their enemies. leukemia was a vocal come yet, the bill said they will hump a fellow men 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? will 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. so my son in law is there's a lot to lose graham and you only live once, isn't up. but if someone said it should be me and not my children or grandchildren, i'm a 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 bella. we see in 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 then the capital athens, one neighborhood is pulling together to help those in need. x 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 meat. and the more that these are message here is also in cooking together and serving meals in solidarity. yes. oh my god, 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 gets something to eat here, nothing. and nobody's going that we don't receive any subsidies, some hot b,

but this building has been squat since 2008, and i'm in a deputy medical video to view have it looked all squats and protests have a long history and ex archaea dispute collette 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. you're going to look at the venue. we saw trucks with soldiers driving towards the university bacteria. they were singing marching songs. before that we realized it would get bloody and sought safety abroad. we will never forget those crimes x r k is proud of its history. the movement that exists here today 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, light matter prefer peaceful protests and ex archaea, nothing. there's currently a lot of attention on the neighborhoods, 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 of some of this matter a grease of ways 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. within the hour it'll be a fee residence. we're not involved in the planning even though this will destroy the only public square in the neighbourhood. it's one of the few places where we

can come together, where children can play some of the co manager. we have the bottom of the film and i've gotten the but yet shakes. 3 years ago, a minister of the conservative government came to this square and announced it would be taken back. palmetto bluff, i said we'll return the square to the people will in the lawlessness. de leon, thanks to our party. no democrat, tio. this will become a normal square again, yet most people in athens however, have no problem with it. sarky is alternative charm residents from all over come together at the neighborhoods weekly market. i'm a little bit 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. a group of locals have gathered in a 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 spaces are in danger. in athens and i don't know around the whole country people of ex archaea want to preserve its unique character. and matter wants to keep promoting a life of solidarity and sustainability. even if the neighborhoods teacher looks uncertain, ah, the baltic sea is like a 2nd home to over kruger 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, a cleaning up the see also means paying close attention to what's happening on land . hoover kruger has been fishing around the german island of usa dome since he was 5. he was one of more than 200 fishers and his home town of all deck. now is the last one left. but over still takes his grandchildren out to see to pass on his knowledge by minority fisher. i'm making a living from fishing, a luminous tough read all you if you don't have much chance with the days fuel prices on monday. if you market the fish yourself, you could just a boat make it. i ha, ha, ha, ha man. all inclined to shock 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 and sway kissed me one or 2 boxes per net wouldn't be bad. that's 20 to 30, you lose. 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. wire stalks not recovering. fisher, you've 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 temperature is rise. a few months later they had

the data they needed program. director christopher timmerman says the results are devastating bunions and y'all directed from june. we were under the critical concentrations and from august there just wasn't any oxygen there. sheila here that might be an error was, 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. dash with descent called her being sandwiched between high temperatures near the surface and oxygen depletion down below. by august, there's no space left, it 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 phase. and that's exactly what we're

hearing from the fissures in old us was before the or not attaching. called any more here. not just any kind of dawson river. 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 bath. and miss fit here are the men near 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. 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 in the order underneath that water india 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. just this summer there was a major fish die out and the odor ostensibly triggered by excess algae. there still a thick carpet of red algae on the surface. this is that fun mentioned what was that caused by humans? death and humans have to stop it and do better. ther mcechran, it enrages meal. this is, that's all there is to it that says of anguish. that's why you've kruger seeing fewer and fewer fish. how long can that continue? did i have john? here? maybe 5 years, or 4? if they don't raise the quarter soon, then no one will be able to continue. either. we just want to maintain this cultural legacy about if the health of the baltic doesn't improve the culture, a legacy family tradition and the entire 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 christy golden potatoes and specialties like french fries with mussels. and the fat used for frying the potatoes is also in high demand for early marvell 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 the salty side dish, french fries or a favorite food in northern france. or a ye marell, fries them up by the kilo soon it will be lunchtime, at her kiosk, le frita veiling was the alleged nothin what

this load is ready in 6 minutes. the chopped potatoes are cooked twice in the oil to make them extra crispy. or a li uses 100 liters of oil a week. for 2 years, she's been deleting her old, leftover oil. like recycling. our waste is important to us. it's a huge issue with fast food restaurants. this is the project is right here in our community. well, it's good for the environment and creates jobs. so there are only advantages that little like with the google view. carlo battiata works for the non profit companies. jekyll, he comes every 2 or 3 weeks to orleans kiosk and picks up the old oil. carlos employer mix it into biodiesel. ali through the french fry stands are the biggest donators of oil in the north. 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. carlo 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 filtered cooking oil. a process is used to meet the greasy waste into biodiesel. over there. if you ever need an oxygen, we create a reaction. i mixing alcohol with the oil. do that good to hear that i feel confident that you along. it's a natural reaction, but it takes time of a school will come to allows you to that's why we add an enzyme to speed up the whole thing got accused of our q. and in that way i'll take good. all the oils completely transformed into biodiesel, home and the other mortgages in 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 modal. 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 fuel 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 is all so that's calculated for the entire production chain of the fuel. and we don't have to transport it very far because it's locally produced. ok, so does that all reduces greenhouse gases significantly when it comes to particular where 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 to crew for use on the streets in 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. right here in coffee is levied, mooney, i give all i, there are companies that will buy old oil, so i could be making a profit from it. but the benefit i get is being environmentally and socially responsible. and that's worth it when i think they lavish. 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 an hour, 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. no 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 let involves walking about a dozen steps down into this rock formation. this sight served as a refuge for monks even back in medieval times. i ye, joe, too. they say monks have been living here since the 13th century issue, according to the encyclopedia britannica. it since the 12th century, out of thought chicago, we don't have any archive. so we just have a rough idea. will you must rock well brook shimaya? no. 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 after me 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, didn't get done. i secretly attended church from about 1955 to 1960. they are toys . don't pay it. and 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 you figured out your trip was trip your duck, and i remember how i would grab hold of the bars much young trip with him when and not like go until the service was over. when was did miss lula whom i did him? drama? la gregory, shooting her indian? miss julia, bent through noon douglas. doug miller knows 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 when it's ball be not pain and easily prediction what she yeah. oh, shiny tom. okay 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 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. natasha. i used to shout at them. whom was communion? a bit to paul mother. i'm calmer these days and when i speak to them, done with all my go, my do more orders good. the world comes to him. he wants nothing to do with the

world any more. fmi 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. there is more usually you can. this war is complicated but it has spiritual causes you to do which you know has done 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, do sing, good will, eczema might be modeled in your desires up her plus, yet lisa could do what you ought to do rather than what you want to be 8 itchy and then maybe you will do the right thing. yeah, kind of guys have idea and it will be beneficial. i say i spent huge but eugene colon ah, 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 against him with ah, ah, with
