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 b. it's still unclear who was behind the attacks. while 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. are luna 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. norwegian navy chief,

3:33 am
patrol around the clock. acts of sabotage are legitimate threat. the fear became more real off to parts of the north stream gas pipelines were blown up. now, september, no way is all save hon. that's why last october, norwegian prime minister eunice castilla said, norway's armed forces have heightens that offensive readiness someone's ulta to sleep. 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 expert stella alexson says norwegians have been naive for years. he's warned that russia has had to neighboring norway in sight. the home in processing of take the large number of russian nationals working for norwegian, shipping companies, still even in coastal shipping. and scholars will, even though every one news that is a deliberate attempt by the russian government to infiltrate and the level before
3:34 am
the philosophy. good hold to play out, and therefore we now need a comprehensive security concept of all that takes into account military threats which ran alongside terrorism and espionage in antiquity. last october, a man claiming to be a brazilian scientist was arrested in the northern city of thomson research group. belling cats 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 assailing toll. he was accused of a legally flying a drone and photographing restricted areas. but many ordinary norwegians don't seem all too concerned. we sell you nora, although some people constantly suspect espionage lowden level because i'm
3:35 am
a bit more skeptical in nevada. but i have nothing against the army showing up its readiness will little yoda suzuki form of cult effect. consequently, from all the russians are trying to scare us with such actions. but we shouldn't let that happen or from my old, but no ways, navy doesn't want to be caught off guard. no ways, navy chief who not anderson has asked the coast guard for a status report. the norwegian military has bolstered it's trolls along more than 2500 kilometers of coastline from the source that dr. bit of our our approach is very flexible. later before we can be everywhere at one that sima. so till we decide to sometimes on an hourly basis of where to go. and when most victo saw blurry, i on the stand, the mood among the troops is one of greek seriousness. what mental sort on men is, but it's also a good feeling of them to see the job we've been trained and prepared to do, has become more important than ever. data and all on no way is now your rips.
3:36 am
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 the gas is delivered where it's needed. especially in these uncertain times. well, another consequence of russian president vladimir putin's 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 chopped down and turn into briquettes. a plant 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 jakob are doing all they can to preserve the forest and ensure that the bears can live undisturbed.
3:37 am
here in the forests of southern poland, beers can still feel at home to the towering all trees offer the beer shelter and protection. but now the forest has become a source of contention. josefina and jakob 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 burn. 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 beers can live undisturbed. forest authorities, warren visitors, not to get too close to the animals. but that rarely happens anyway. the department
3:38 am
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 forest gimme her, her fish on given sufficient iraq or we saw the 1st bears here in 1950 like his obesity. if it was given to show them by the 1970 s, there were 20 bears canyons, v a g. and now we've gotten 200, hold the hostile, that's quite a big increase. so the last hunter mashed polish forestry authorities are more focused on logging the cause 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,
3:39 am
it would be between $12000.00 euro for secretary. so it's not a big money. we are like wasting our breton that national heritage. a for actually not that big amounts of money in was now you to zer, caused him sleep, not listening. it is if a or if from time to time a few of the trees were the protection that all the hotels were the ones that could be natural. monuments obviously are cut down density. the thing to read the change is hardly noticeable espanol, the kill quarter. you cannot, after all, there are thousands of trees in the forest, m a dispute 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 allowed the st. this type of 3 to be left in
3:40 am
the 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 raffo don't intend to back down either the eastern album. yeah. kip of them, we own, i see the massive destruction going on here for somebody's up hold of now and to render. and i don't condone it is good nato sublet our curve. does a star v. sure. i want my daughter to be able to enjoy these old forests in the
3:41 am
future. elizabeth swan started la sir. time 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 that new can become a problem in recent decades as to that ship incidents with bears where humans get hurt are increasingly common. one person even died for the computer and so people and 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 man's words about how they see the activists. there are equal terrorists. but josefina and jacobi believe, many residents don't realize how close the relationship between bears and trees is
3:42 am
you can quite easily imagine how it bear that is, the big animal of 200 kilograms, could actually fit inside the 3 inside this 3 knots now. but in the future of the 3, you 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 computers 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 doctors prescribe patients
3:43 am
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 young 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 easier 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 or, well, we think it 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,
3:44 am
most of personal and ah, interested so stiff, uncomfortable is voluntarily going to a dark place now. he's invited us along to brussels sewer museum will be with you. 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 and fingered better stir. it's 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, for helping restore the feeling of community to
3:45 am
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 had 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 is 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 hoover says even without the final statistics, reaction has been so positive. she hopes to expand the practice. i've already been
3:46 am
contacted by other cultural institutions also by are the doctors willing to be part of the project. so i see that people are very enthusiastic, maybe it will take time to, you know, to make the 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 feel 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, is it for better? i feel better. i forget my problem and i and i see the wonders of the wonders of the world. he says he's looking forward to
3:47 am
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. luna and hugh were brought together by this man, willie daily. he's a 3rd generation matchmaker. and the legend in the industry will his love, connections have gained him 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 harlan's, very last traditional matchmaker welcomes dozens of single people to this bar. and

he's never here without his love book. the hopefuls are asked to lay their hands upon it for 7 seconds. a few looked for a little lecture, courage at the bottom of a glass before the fellow willy's questionnaire on their ideal partner. grinning has flown over all the way from toronto, canada traveling several 1000 kilometers, just to see willie. i think 13 of ronnie's friends, all of whom are married, pitched in to pay for her trip to the matchmaker. as well. i planned this for 3 years for them. they knew i would still be single in 3 years. i don't know. the weight or date of attempt on a plane every year. like you mind me, guy. summer graziano did. scores of single people will seek out willie's help, his services costs roughly 5 to 15 euros, depending on his mood, the time of day. and the amount of goodness is consumed. on occasion
3:49 am
willies 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 stay to want love. they want happiness and in rhode island, they want children, which is very important. or, you know, even though we have, i have a man no on his, he's over a segregation, said maria, and he still would like to get married and have said it wrong. and i thought it's a rug on the donkey's or 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. but i didn't get to a very attractive ah, you know, for you,

3:53 am
for them? i do not ask you to close his eyes and concentrate the white. she regards the love book 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 day dreams about what matches he can make next. and he finds a bit of peace and quiet of the colony. well, at least until his phone starts ringing, signaling the start of the next assignment for willy daily irelands last matchmaker . some good go come by. yeah. yeah, of 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,
3:54 am
but as with many things online reality is quite different from instagram. it's the stuff dreams are made of this restaurant as new, the louvre museum ins harris. 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 beautiful 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 loss of influencers and top model is a take pictures here and post them 15 foot 2. that's part of the magic of paris club boston. 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,
3:55 am
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 does . sean can't get enough color. his business has been flourishing since he started specializing and designing and creating fake flowers for facades. his clients are benefiting to or cisco joker of us. we knew that re decorating the facade, lucille significantly holding for sub rushes for the fight at least 30 per cent. of not considered remote 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 luke in a truby strew is about keeping things natural, shearing and expedients together. like when you lose that with plastic flowers will probably 6. it's like one with the other. but the plastic flowers of paris aren't
