the quake with buildings and houses reduced to rubble. tens of thousands of people have been reported dead and more casualties are expected as rescue operations give way to recovery efforts. for some the earthquake is yet another cruel twist of fate. bazaar is from syria. he fled to turkey with millions of others to escape the civil war. missouri settled in the city of an takia near the border to his home country. he felt safe from the violins that has plagued syria for more than a decade. but now missouri place of refuge has become a disaster zone. missouri sister simpson has been frowned. he rushes over to the ruin that until recently was her apartment. sirian friends of missouri, as in turkey, discovered simpson and her husband crushed under the rubble of the 2nd floor. both are dead, missouri had already feared the worst. he'd been searching for

a sign of life in this building and talk, you se, turkey for days without success. and now he has only the certainty. mamma, please don't tell anyone else. we haven't told anyone so far, we'll recover them 1st. but the recovery operation proves difficult. missouri and his friends make slow progress with a borrow jackhammer. they don't even expect any help from the authorities. a friend brings a wool blanket over to wrap the body in. simpson will later have a proper burial. delta old norma, we had worked through to the bedroom. i'm a mom old in the 1st we were able to see part of my brother in law. and then my sister wilson, they lay in each other's arms and death. missouri had fled the civil war in

syria to turkey with his parents and siblings. now he lives in istanbul, not his sister sampson taught syrian refugee children in and talk you love, jani. my sister was such a good person, feel full of love talking. it's so sad that he had to die, but it's all as well. this is a do sonoma, a lunch, so i'm talking near the syrian border. the earthquake disaster has destroyed about half the city. only after several days did the 1st clean of operations commence. before the earthquake about 300000 syrian refugees lived here, it's not yet known how many are among the victims. but mazar and his friends tell us the situation looks much worse on the other side of the border in syria. many of his relatives are thought to have lost everything. if yod,

whoa, is often old the fella as if the war weren't bad enough. either. the people there get virtually no help at all. in here at least someone comes by now and then and bring something to eat or offers their health beyond them, love them. and it took them about 7 hours to recover the bodies of samson and her husband. oh my little hold of her. when she indic, we came here to live in safety, be healthy, assume things turned out differently. and now we have to live with that. simpson and mach moods bodies are transported away from the house and, and talk you where they had dreamed of a peaceful life road. i will. in turkey, there is a growing sense of anger. in the aftermath of the earthquake turkeys government had implemented stricter building regulations after a devastating earthquake over 20 years ago. but those rules were not always put

into practice and corner cutting and construction appears to have been commonplace . now the state is facing criticism for failing to enforce those safety coats. what was once a family home now lies in ruins? on the morning of february, 7th, the earthquake destroyed the shaheen home. to enjoy shy haines mother was buried in the debris and seriously injured. she died a short time later. 6 law for these feelings on the situation as there are no words, lot of who we visit the village of tow car and southeastern turkey. the region is remote and people here are poor one of the collapsed buildings here was only a year old. the shaheen family home was older, to enjoy tells us that his father, who wasn't at home on the night of the disaster, only realizes,

on inspecting the rubble how inadequate the building materials were my limit i'ma. look here. these fin steel structures were supposedly holding the load bearing supports together. this really should be a lesson to us, but people to only pay attention when they hit their heads. who's on her and then once the pain subsided, wellness when they get careless again. lemme lemme young women, and all these materials should have been checked by the authorities. i've been into, i hope, from now on construction in these high risk areas will be monitored more strictly thoughts on protested than mr. is whether or not it's wise to rely on turkish construction. authorities is another matter. her son xum go or has his doubts. he's chairman of the chamber of structural engineers in the port city of a donna. the phones haven't stopped ringing since the earthquake shady, emerald on his team's expertise, is in high demand. as residents went,

their home inspected. they no longer trust to the state authorities held on to remove them from truth. while touring a housing estate affected by the quake axiom good discovers cracks and facades everywhere on nor the flow. so usually on the she could just be cracked along in the plas, albin walton, local owner conditions as long as load bearing parts artifact, didn't. the building could still be habitable to ramos v a. b, but it's hard for me to judge at 1st sight. john, at the double, most of them, the government is warned critics of its earthquake policy against spreading what it calls fake news. but people like xum go know that the government legalized millions of buildings that were constructed without planning permits. and many others were built higher than approved. roger, it was jojo, it's about business profit. look, these apartments sell for the equivalent of 250000 euros. at least. earthquake precautions can't compete with agreed for profitable who bills for

a job wish closure. deadly quakes could occur again at any time. ok, some girl warns the residence of a donna, but many seem to be in denial about this already. this rom disorder you, they told us that our house was okay, fully offered, but that we should wait for the demolition on the neighboring property shop. then we can return like you to hold me. they can't just carry on as they were after this disaster says xum good. there has to be a completely new beginning. when moral to regina risk areas like linda's, everyone has to work together and the citizens, urban planners, architecture, not sociology long and politicians should not. we need a consensus on reconstruction or closure of valuable and if possible, it must be ensured that we never billed directly over the fault lines again, internal the problem for your thought among those local oklahoma. back in the

village of to car, the residents are afraid to return to their homes. the authorities have sent the villagers one tent. those who couldn't get a space there have built their own out of plastic sheets. it's hard to say how long they will have to stay in the tense, but everyone agrees the houses of the future will have to be built differently. pick up, pick up from now on, will only build one story house in house height the way it used to be done, but safer buildings are not enough. says to enjoy shaheen. do, sir. oh some of the i hope that from now on there will be more education about the dangers of earthquakes, zipper magus mother. death of the woman we get to the tune jai pays his respects to his mother at the local cemetery. if only every one had taken the earthquake danger seriously, he tells us his family might have been spared this tragedy. maria and andre are filmmakers from belarus. they use their art to advocate for an end to

liter, alexander lucretia ankles regime. he's been in power for nearly 30 years. election rigging, political oppression and human rights violations are par for the course in their homeland. while marie and andre are fighting back with their weapon of choice humor . after a few plot twists they settled in the city of berlin. the german capital has become an ideal backdrop for their life in exile. ah maria, an andre stroll along, one of the few remnants of the berlin wall in front of it, a shawn occurs, and leona brush nymphs, legendary socialists, brother kiss. they take herself for their friends and relatives. back and mince forth journalists, fled the bella, russian, capital, and lucas. shank was reprisals. following the mass protests of 2020 mentioned it was did soon i should probably go. let's go with kid kit, you know,

we started publishing little sketches on the, put off in another still because that's quite funny videos that exposed the ridiculousness of our propaganda. chicago took us at madison. this me not the bulus mission. our viewers really liked them. his daughter lose him, and our 3rd or 4th video got nearly a 1000000 head he to blue shield, but assuming on press what that of. but the longer the protests went on, the more brutal the mill of russian regime. frank doubt reprisals also targeted the staff of the satirical chin chin channel. in the fall of 2021, the journalists felt obliged to leave their home country for levine in western ukraine. thumb bullets of what a slow vote is, freedom of expression, their shoulders have also sh, and the entertainment industry has progressed so much it up at the much the especially the political satire is because the law to me as the lensky, the ex comedian, was always making fun of ukrainian politicians and then became president himself

that motivated us no yellen, us. but even in exile in ukraine, they and their work as satirists were in danger. russian forces attack ukraine and belarus was supporting them. they had almost half a new video in the can when russia invaded ukraine on february 24th 2022 when it will, stylish to we knew we were in the danger. little had to dissolution. rumors were spread that when the russians came, all the by the ruins who had fled to lucas shenker regime to ukraine would be rounded up. so i could see this piece came with the 12 notes that he put in before . so we weren't only in danger because of the war. mobile in him is a possible winnable switch. maria andre, and their co workers had to pack their bags and fleet once again, the team made their way to warsaw alongside tens of thousands of ukrainians.

yamazik, historical below, it wasn't so much the current situation that scared me, but the lack of any real prospects happened. perspective again, you put mileage to put that i just had no idea what would happen next of what i can . yes, no, and of course that was terrible to be forced to flee for the 2nd time within half a year. that's of them and give up everything again. it's a full good cit, thoughts, appearance in class i, if i should. they took up their work again in warsaw, but this video parodies practices of post soviet television. like putting words in interviewees mouths. begley amy graham, you refugee, tell us how his life hears it. bad for some of his school juices and logan for i believe it's awful, everything's horrible. there. so many problems. the infrastructure, no jobs, no prospects higher prices than back home. within a few weeks, some 300000 refugees from ukraine had collected in warsaw. maria saw no real

potential there and happened upon a grant for journalists at a chateau on the polish german border. once again, they packed up and moved on. at the chateau, they shot a dark satire about to bell of russian officials who had to talk of famous singer into appearing in a concert in honor of the regime. but when the diva loses her voice, the officials arranged for her to have brain surgery. went on there, they are. after completing the project, andrea maria moved on to berlin. a popular destination for people fleeing bella, roost ukraine, and russia village and rabbits. i liked berlin a lot because parts of it remind me of minsky, python winchester severity. so i almost feel at home here that the, in my situation, that's like a wonderful gift because i haven't been home for a year and a half now. and you belong russia, cham,

that i'm gonna edition for to just go to. this is a very creative city with lots of interesting people and, and outstanding cultural life moga, because musically to the coast, i think i'll be able to gather lots of interesting and positive experiences here. well, pleasure to lucas to milk with kirk with getting yet in a video chat, maria and andre invite the other team members still in warsaw to berlin to shoot their next video. they're trying to make the best of their situation as refugees, but they're constantly reminded of it in front of the russian embassy. a vigil is held for the victims of the war in ukraine. berlin is also a temporary home, maria and andre. keep hoping for political change and bella bruce only then can they think about returning to minsk? this is the european buys and also known as the wizened. it's the largest wild

animal on the continent in switzerland. they became extinct in the middle ages. now a test hurt has been brought there to see if the beasts can live again in their natural habitat. in the canton of zillow torn, the buys are being kept in an enclosed space. for now, despite their intimidating size, the mammals are known to be peaceful and even shy. but does that mean they can coexist with humans? oh, powerful yet elegant european basins or visas. having grazing here for several months in the zara mountains, by the town of belgian, or they're the european relation of the north american bison. that he's on the front of your opinion. vices are a forest animal seat. thus can i? if you look from the front, you see their heads are as narrow as their bodies. by contrast,

the north american variety is found on the plains. they are a bit shorter and broader because being tall and slender isn't important. their whole hunt wallace. benyamin bruner brought the european vices here from a zoo. they've been released into a 100 hector enclosure where they'll hopefully get used to life in the wild because they need to get used to humans to tourists. are welcome inside, but not to walk up to them or touch them. at 50 meter distance is the rule of thumb, then lumped them all. and if you stretch out your thumb and it covers up the bison, then that's pretty much 50 meters. seemed the same with can often of sigma. of course, it depends on how thick your thumb is or how broad the bison. if the animal spot hikers, or even come over to them, people are advised to get well away for their own safety. but also to give the

animal space, because the aim is for them to live independently from humans. the plan is to take down the fence is around the enclosure in 5 years and let the basins roam free, just like when they were native here. the minor, that's the dream of ranger benjamin bruner. and project manager auto hoods. gun. yeah. be sent to come for you. there used to be european bison and switzerland, but they haven't been around since medieval tyson. they're part of the forest and without them, the forest is incomplete. but that's a sentiment, not everyone shares. many farmers are worried about the idea at doc cooper doesn't want any more wild animals roaming around. he says they already have enough to deal with the royalties. red deer are coming back. if there are already wolves, oaks, wild boars, crate a lot of damage. we don't need another wild animal 8th and especially not one that's being introduced artificially. and if you would feel, oh,

for thousands of years, european bison lived on the lands of modern switzerland until humans killed them off. why shouldn't bison be re while the dear, that the no saudi of all dinosaurs used to live here too? also, we farmers know how grazing animals behave, we know cows if at all, and they try to get food wherever it's easiest thing soften voice. um, i've, these bison are going to do the same thing in and come for our crops on via the loans, and they'll eat things we need to feed the, our animals and from them foot that have all 3 it fit on that a t, the broken hoods kong and bruner say, though re wilding program in switzerland will help conserve european bison on the continent because they faced extinction through in breeding. more bulls are needed that aren't related to each other. swapping them out helps lower the risk of genetic diseases. yeah. album, foot home, but the are 100 years ago, there were just 12 of them capable of breeding. a real genetic bottleneck. you

might say that was the biggest issue as he so it was only when poland started a breeding program and kept him swapping out all the bulls that the population really started growing again to paul's top. he started with the, the property on the list. he. com deluxe. oh, europe's biggest land mammals could be making a comeback. ranger, benjamin bruner is convinced there's plenty of space. the question is, will humans let them? mm. it's a sport. his mother banned him from doing as a child, but back didn't stop vanny. oh dera from realizing his dream of becoming a motor cross star, italian rider is one of the most successful in the industry. his career has taken him touring all over the world. and it's not only fans of the sport who get to see his airborne acrobatics. van he uses his talent to help sick and disabled children

horsepower bikes. these him soaring up to 15 meters off the ground, but he's always afraid he says it if i would of the fear is what drives you to push on equal also. but of course, it's very dangerous, but the more you train and the more you jump on, the less grist water actually is on bottom of the bite becomes something like a 3rd leg. his talent brought him fame, money, success and tournaments from brazil to russia. then one day, a taxi ride after a went in moscow, changed everything. oh, succeed you straight away? i noticed a strong smell of uranus, the ha. i snapped at the driver to hurry up and quickly take me to my destination. often i looked into his eyes and saw a man like me, but he was missing his legs ceased, and he was sitting there in his own urine front cover of the gun and let us in to see dealers, med social people. and from then on,

vanny began to help others or donald deliveries, i gather, thrive, or all the prize money and went up to my hotel, ashamed of myself. but often i thought about what i could do to help the world all the time. and that's how he got the idea for motors psychotherapy and not though crystal face. the idea was to share my time and passion with others. i rang up associations and people with disabilities and talked about my project because i get shorter, they loved it. and so i invited them to tournament, he saw in italy with a can and a brock and put on a navy. tenicia really got to kind of funny, you know, fully thought to put him on a motorcycle ride can bring moments of joy, or at least distraction to people with disability or illness. and the idea is spreading throughout italy. ah, this is genoa on a wednesday morning. vanny and his friend, my tail valeca bogey,
