12:30 pm
oh, as we take all the world, i do a story that matter to you. with those who we are, your is actually on fire. for mines. ah, ah, ah, this is focus on europe. i'm lar bubba lola, welcome. russia's war and ukraine has severely impacted europe's energy supply and
12:31 pm
force countries to find alternatives to get through the winter. securing pipelines and the power grid has also been crucial. that's why the sabotage on the nord stream pipelines last september caused alarm for european governments. the explosions destroyed parts of the underwater gas pipes running between russia and germany. gas was since viewing to the surface of the baltic sea. it's still unclear who was behind the attacks. well back when russia's natural gas flowed unimpeded to europe, norway was a small player as a gas exporter. but since moscow began cutting off its supply, norway has emerged as europe's largest gas supplier that has the military there. on high alert, troops have been deployed to safeguard norway's power grids and gas pipelines in the north sea. bruna anderson is head of the nation's navy. his mission is to ensure there's no interference and to get the gas where it's needed.
12:32 pm
norwegian navy chief, who now anderson in specs, a frigates docked on no ways west and coast ships like these monitor no ways, territorial waters. and above all, what lies on their sea bed oil and gas pipelines needed to supply many european countries. a bit us will share in the long they are at the do, may i live on? we can't control everything that happens under water was on m and the jada 4th, but information provided by energy producers, dr. combined with military intelligence and scope, and therefore give us a rather detailed overview, a pipeline network below big buildings with us and halted or fertile triggered body . hot and war were shipped no way has to protect some 9000 kilometers of underwater pipelines and cables. and in addition, oil and gas installations at sea and on land, no region, military forces,
12:33 pm
our own patrol around the clock acts of sabotage, our in legitimate threat. the fear became more real after parts of the north stream gas pipelines were blown up. now, september, no way is all save hon. that's why last ought to buy know we jin prime minister eunice castilla said, norway's armed forces have heightens their defense. if readiness someone's author to slip, we need to expect threats across the country hall at sea in the air and our mind. that is why we must increase defense of preparedness in our country. security experts de la la vixon says norwegians have been naive for years. he's warner that russia has had to neighboring norway in sight. the hammer in processing of take the large number of russian nationals working for norwegian, shipping companies. still, even in coastal shipping of golden rule, even though every one knows that this is
12:34 pm
a deliberate attempt by the russian government to infiltrate and the level of the for this want to see good hold to play out. and then for we now need a comprehensive security concept of that takes into account military threats which ran alongside terrorism and espionage. i'll share that with you last october, a man claiming to be a brazilian scientist was arrested in the northern city of thomson research group. bellingham later said he was a colonel with russia's g r u military intelligence agency. since the outbreak of russia's war in ukraine, norwegian police arrested 9 russian tourists in various locations. among them, the son of a russian only gone on a sailing toll. he was accused of a legally flying a drone and photographing restricted areas. but many ordinary norwegians don't seem all too concerned with nausea, although some people constantly suspect espionage low. then level because i'm
12:35 pm
a bit more skeptical level, but i have nothing against the army showing up its readiness. will it how yoda suzuki from maloof golf. perfect tulsa, oklahoma. the russians are trying to scare us with such actions. but we shouldn't let that happen all from my old, but no ways navy doesn't want to be caught off guard. no ways, navy chief, guna anderson has asked the coast guard for a status report. the norwegian military has boasted the trolls along more than 2500 kilometers of coastline from the source that dr. ban of our approach is very flexible later before we cannot be everywhere at one that's the more so till we decide to sometimes on an hourly basis of where to go. and when most victor saw apply all the stuff, the mood among the troops is one of greek seriousness. what mental sort on man is, but it's also a good feeling of them to see the job we've been trained and prepared to do has
12:36 pm
become more important than ever in the long, no way is now your rips. largest gas supplier gas is a major source of income for the country, but it comes with great responsibility. navy chief, who now understand and his forces are trying to ensure that gas is delivered where it's needed, especially in these uncertain times. well, another consequence of russian president vladimir prudence decision to invade ukraine. the demand for wood has increased in poland, carpathian forest business is booming in the timber industry. the state has air mark trees to chop down and turn into briquettes. a plan that has alarmed environmental activists. the forest is filled with trees that are hundreds of years old, and brown bears use them as dens josefina and jack up are doing all they can to preserve the forest and ensure that the bears can live undisturbed.
12:37 pm
here in the forests of southern poland, bears can still feel at home to the towering old trees offer the beer shelter and protection. but now the forest has become a source of contention. josefina and jacob are conservationists. they take stock of the ancient trees, tall ones like these are marked for felling, which could have serious consequences. animals have a place to hide. at the beginning, it may be smaller animals like fox and through later on it can become even bigger, and it can become inhabited by bur. the red dot marks the tree for felling a decision made by polish forest authorities. these trees are not standing in nature reserve. that's a problem for the bears. logging interest take priority here. that limits the spaces where bears can live undisturbed. forest authorities, warren visitors, not to get too close to the animals. but that rarely happens anyway. the department
12:38 pm
has an open air exhibit with an overview of many of the local forest animals except the beer. any special protection for the beers would be unnecessary, says the spokesman for the regional state forests. given her her dish on getting to fiji, count him rock or we saw the 1st bears here in 1950 with his obesity. if you don't even to show them by the 1970 is, there were 20 bears onions, beauty, and now we've got 200, hold the whole school. that's quite a big increase. so the last thing touched polish forestry authorities are more focused on logging because of russia's war in ukraine. lumber prices are high and fuel is scarce. but the forest conservationist aren't quite convinced. the 3 is probably around 6 or 7 cubic meters of wood. so with current prices,
12:39 pm
it would be between $12000.00 euro for a secretary. so it's not a big money. we are like wasting our breton that national heritage. a for actually not that big amount of money in was now you to zer, caused him sleep, not listeners. it does if a, or if from time to time a few of the trees were the protection of the hotel, the ones that could be natural. monuments obviously are cut down, hence it is easy to read. the change is hardly noticeable, espanol will kill quarter, cuckoo enough. after all, there are thousands of trees in the forest. there was an m, a respite i stopped listening to the raga. the beers use old trees like this one is dense because they're rotting out and hollow. young re planted trees don't help much on that account. it requires a tree to be hollow inside, but it happens with age though if we allow the st. this type of 3 to be left in the
12:40 pm
4th, then there will be more available spot for birth. and if we cut them all, just to sell them for timber, then the bear will have no place to live any more. deep in the forest far from civilization, a few forest activists have set up a protest camp taking a stand against loggers. not every one is happy with their protests. a car near the camp was attacked and the conflict gets heated. the 4 as active as don't live in this region. but in warsaw or other major cities, yackel josefina and raffle don't intend to back down even as an external jimmy kip of them we own. i see the massive destruction going on here for somebody to put on an answer and there, and i don't condone it is good enough. those are both of those are starving. sure. i want my daughter to be able to enjoy these old for us in the future. elizabeth,
12:41 pm
so on started la sir. some perhaps still see bears too. of course, if all the old trees are chopped down, the animals will move somewhere else. they may even enter areas populated by humans, which could be dangerous for the problem with her and can become a problem in recent decades since to does ship incidents with bears where humans get hurt or increasingly common. one person even died for the community. so people in animals of the region have one thing in common. their camera shy, many people here work in the timber industry on signs. they don't mince words about how they see the activists there. eco terrorists. but josephina and jacobi believe, many residents don't realize how close the relationship between bears and trees is
12:42 pm
you can quite easily imagine howard bear that is a big animal of 200 kilograms. could actually fit inside the tree inside this tree . not now, but in the, in the future, if the 3 will become hollowed out. i think the whole family of bears. good said. they've often asked authorities to police old, rotting trees under protection requests that have almost always been denied. the power of positive thinking, research shows that can extend the person's lifespan and even boost the immune system for some maintaining a healthy outlook is a challenge. for others, it feels impossible. they found con, beyond, from belgium, suffers from depression, negative self talk, low energy, and loss. of interest or common symptoms of the illness. now, a pilot project launched in the capital, brussels is aimed at helping people like stefan doctor prescribed patients
12:43 pm
a trip to the museum. and there is more than just paintings and artifacts to discover. ah, depression is a dark place, long time sufferer stuff on comp yawn, knows the difficulty depression causes just trying to cope with everyday life to dress, to go out, to see other people. it's difficult to take friends with islam the router, but to day comp your is getting a new kind of prescription from his therapist. he and doctor vansoluce dcea are among those taking part in a 6 month pilot project. depressed patients are being given prescriptions to visit their choice of 5 participating brussels museums a well, we think that could be useful for everybody, but some didn't want to go because they're shy to go outside or to, to, to, to lever at the settings or where they leaves but oh,
12:44 pm
most of personal and ah, interested, so stiff and comp not is voluntarily going to a dark place now. he's invited us along to brussels sewer museum. really to most people wouldn't want to look in source. how do you think this is going to make you feel better? but just just the idea to do to go out to go outside and meet some other people. i'm seeing the doctor is der, is interesting point. art therapy is nothing new, neither is recommending the depressed patients visit museums. but what's being tried now in the pilot project? making that suggestion an actual prescription appears to motivate the depressed patient to actually go. and they can take up to 3 people along for free. this can be very important, doctors believe,
12:45 pm
for helping restore the feeling of community to a person who is suffering psychologically, and possibly financially the patient can go on his own with his own family. and it says something new for us, and we're, we're excited to use it or so the project was launched by deputy brussels mayor, delphi in huber, who'd heard of a similar effort in canada and wanted to try it in belgium. numbers of depression doubled in 10 years, so it's huge. so there are so many people suffering outside and maybe insight, we don't know as so. yes, we have nothing to lose. doctors have nothing to lose. patients have nothing to lose in here for the resume is just more public coming here. a world health organization reported more than 900 studies documents. the positive impact art can have on health. the pilot project wraps up in march, but who be says even without the final statistics, reaction has been so positive, she hopes to expand the practice. i've already been contacted by other cultural
12:46 pm
institutions, also by or the doctor is willing to be part of the project. so i, i see that people are around suggesting maybe it will take time to, you know, to make people understand how it works and to, to, to, to there, to come here. but i think that even if it's only a few people, it's gonna already be very positive for some visitors. it works even without a prescription life. it's sole sad nowadays, seeing something beautiful makes you who happier is that simple for me. ah, an stiff on coffee owns experience shows you might not even need to see something beautiful to be uplifted. oh, isn't for better. i feel better. i forget my problem and i and i see the wonders of the wonders of the world.
12:47 pm
he says he's looking forward to sharing what he learned with family and friends, which will be another small victory over the darkness. well, another remedy against loneliness and depression is love, una, and you are a couple living in ireland. they've managed to keep the spark alive after meeting nearly 20 years ago. a time before tinder, an online dating sites dominated the scene, una and hugh were brought together by this man. willie daily. he's a 3rd generation matchmaker. and the legend in the industry will, is love, connections have gained his followers around the world. single people flocked to the small town of las doing varna, hoping that willy will make them lucky in love every weekend willy daily irelands, very last traditional matchmaker welcomes dozens of single people to this bar. and

12:49 pm
will it be known to dance with one of his clients, but he keeps things strictly. professional. willie dailey, has 2 great passions peering up single people and his donkeys. when he was younger, as many as 20 donkeys might be found to excite the dance hall. if a boy met a girl, he'd bring her back home writing on a donkey. but that was long ago, in my appeal stated, want love there, want happiness. and in rhode island, there want children which is really important though, you know, even that we have i have a man no on his he's all over a segregation said maria, they still would like to get routed and upset. drunken. oh, it's a rug. the donkeys are what caught sierras and carries attention. the 2 are vacationing here from minnesota and they're both single. they filled out willy's questionnaire the previous evening. and by this morning he already had good news for both of them. i to very attract the ha,

12:51 pm
man cuff, he will, he says he'll be turning 80 soon, and has had 7 children with several women. but this 3rd generation matchmaker doesn't really like to talk about himself that much. practically every one in western ireland news about the love book. even his grandfather used it some a 160 years ago. it's said to have brought couples together before they'd even met for the 1st time. this is on the ladies side, put no men at this site at this. and i gone to the, the main and at the side know of that they'd be, they'd be meeting each other as well. that'd be his shot that in the know book. regardless, there's the barber, hugh and who no. mcguire had been a happy couple for 17 years now. look what ever since willy pulled luna off the dance floor and pointed at hugh?
12:52 pm
it was very exciting. really was exciting because i had the boss or the people down here in the room looking for partners. and i saw you on the floor. that's funny. and i told, oh my god, this is somebody that you can have fun with a 2 years. but you know, played hard to get with you. at 1st he got down on one knee and proposed before the 1st year was out. and when i turned him down, he proposed again the next year. and again, i said no the term he'll. i will read to nice. she's yes, my or the whole course load with the whole dot. i got the crank was very funny. it was very, very 40 either or now from 200. what are some people that this was actually sold? girl, i don't know willy brought his love to. they get together not
12:53 pm
ask you to close his eyes and concentrate. she regards love as a kind of power bank for their love. one of his sons took over the farm long ago, but willie still likes to drop by. he daydreams of what matches he can make next. and he finds a bit of peace and quiet of the count. well at least until his phone starts ringing, signaling the start of the next assignment for willy daily islands, last matchmaker. some good luck on via. yeah, yeah. course many looking for romance also had to paris the city of love. and right now it's in full blue. yes. in the middle of winter, restaurants are brightening up the dreary days with elaborate floral arrangements. a big attraction for influencers, looking for a photo op. their social media posts are a boost for business,
12:54 pm
but as with many things online, reality is quite different from instagram. it's the stuff dreams are made of this restaurant near the louvre museum in paris. and it's decked out and colorful flowers all year round. i think that if the people like he is, is one of your full of uniform play is a, is a grammar play. and that's the idea promotion via social media. not only for the food, but the decor to, oh, no book who is a we have a most of influencers and top model is a take pictures here and post them reaching foot 2. that's part of the magic of paris, of your boss. you. then i should bobby, more and more parisian restaurants are dissing up plastic, at least on the outside. in this raise for hype, the more color the better. but it's not to everyone's taste. if was something kitchen, if i can be a bit tank, he referrals. i thought it was pretty at 1st,
12:55 pm
but now it's been overdone, view the do if he met no question, what there are too many fake flowers. now suppose he flopped. if he shed must know what on luke deshawn can't get enough color. his business has been flourishing since he started specializing, designing and creating fake flowers for facades. his clients are benefiting to or cisco joker. but we knew that re decorating the facade, lucille significantly holding for sub rushes, for the fire, at least 30 percent, or more considerably more monumental fossil. it started with rail plans, but those wilts and the fall, that's where plastic roses came in. but to some business owners, the trend is a real thorn in their side on the table. so in the summer, you can smell the real flowers with plastic. you don't smell anything. a look in a truby strew is about keeping things natural, hearing and expedients together, like when you lose that with plastic flowers filled or plastic cyclical with the
12:56 pm
other. but the plastic flowers of paris aren't going away any time soon. more restaurants keep installing them in front of their facades. popping their appeal to the next generation of influences. here i thought plastic was going out of style. well, that wraps up our show for this week. thanks so much for watching. bye. ah. ah ah ah, with
