syria. many of his relatives are thought to have lost everything yard. oh is that then? all 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 the help of them. love them. and it took them about 7 hours to recover the bodies of sampson and her husband. oh, my little hold of her name is lynch again. we came here to live in safety, behalf the 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. so i will in turkey, there is a growing sense of anger in the aftermath of the earthquake turkeys government had

implemented strict are 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 codes. 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 in 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 die tells us what 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. man them remarks look here. these fin steel struts 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 with messina. these materials should have been checked by the authorities. i've been into, i hope, from now on construction. and these high risk areas will be monitored more strictly thoughts on protested than mr. whether or not it's wise to rely on turkish construction authorities. is another matter her son of some 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,

this is the european buys and also known as the reason. 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 the 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 visa ends having grazing here for several months in the urine. mountains, by the town of belgian, or they're the european relation of the north american bison. the reason they find val, 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 hunch, marliss benyamin, bruner brought the european bison. 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. a 50 meter distance is the rule of thumb, then lumped them tall. and if you stretch out your thumb and it covers up the bison, then that's pretty much 50 meters. seem to zoom with can often of sigma. of course, it depends on how thick your thumb is or how broad the bison. if the animals spot

hikers, or even come over to them, people are advised to get well away for their own safety, but also to get 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 bison roam free. just like when they were native here did them alive. that's the dream of ranger. benjamin bruner. and project manager auto hoods gun. you'll be sent to come for the there used to be european bison and switzerland, but they haven't been around since mediaeval 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 dark hoopa doesn't went 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, create a lot of damage. we don't need another wild animal 8th and especially not one

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. this is so still, it was only when poland started a breeding program and kept swapping out all the bulls that the population really started growing again to paul's top. he started with the $24.00 plotting on the roof to calm 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 that didn't stop van jo dara, from realizing his dream of becoming a motor cross star, the 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
