a staggering trail of destruction. many towns and villages have been affected by 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 violence 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 found. he rushes over to the ruin dead until recently was her apartment sirian friends of miss ours in turkey, discovered sampson 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 in 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 borrowed jack hammer. they don't even expect any help from the authorities. a friend brings a wool blanket over to wrap the body him sampson will later have a proper burial. delta old norma, we had worked through to the bedroom. i'm a mom old in the, in the 1st we were able to see part of my brother in law. and then my sister, shawna 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 isn't do cinema. alanis. on taca near the syrian border, the earthquake disaster has destroyed about half the city. only after several days did the 1st cleanup operations commence. before the earthquake about 300000 syrian refugees lived here, it's not yet known how many are among the victims. but bizarre 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. oh, nothing of the flesh road as if the war weren't bad enough out of 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 help. young them love them and it took them about 7 hours to recover the bodies of samson and her husband. oh, so my little hold of her is when she ended, 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. oh, oh, 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 coats. what was once a family home now lies in ruins? on the morning of february, 7th, the earthquake destroyed the shaheen is home to die, haines mother was buried in the debris and seriously injured. she died a short time later. 6 who don't do for these feelings and the situation wasn't, there are no words. lots of we visit the village of til car in south eastern 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 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 my limit. i'm a look here. these them steel structures were supposedly holding the load bearing supports together. this really should be a lesson to us, but people to only pay attention to them when they hit their heads. who's on her and then once the pain subsided, listen, they get careless again in them, allan, let em young women within all 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. is doing. 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 i'm you know,

his team's expertise is in high demand. as residents want their homes inspected, they no longer trust to the state authorities held one of them shrink while touring a housing estate affected by the quake. axiom good discovers cracks and facades everywhere, under the flow, so usually on the should just be cracked in the plas, albin walton, local owner conditions as long as load bearing parts are defective. 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. assume gore warns the residents of a donna. but many seem to be in denial about this already the strongest sort of 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, every one has to work together and 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 pump for your little mumbo locked little lock. almost back in the

village of the 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 their 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 because i caught them now on will only build one story houses high the way it used to be done. but safer buildings there not enough, says to enjoy shaheen. you sir? oh, smoothly. i hope that from now on there will be more education about the dangers of earthquakes, september august, when we get to the one when 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 leader alexander lucas sh 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. german capital has become an ideal backdrop for their life in exile. maria and andre scroll along, one of the few remnants of the berlin wall in front of english, one occurs and leon impression of legendary socialists brother kiss. they take herself for their friends and relatives. back and mince. quoth journalists, fled the bell of russian capital and lucas shank was reprisals. following the mass protests of 2020 mentioned it was did soon that she luca let's go with kit kid. she

the ex comedian, was always making fun of ukrainian politicians and then became president himself. and that motivated f o l m. 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 danger. little had to dissolution. rumors were spread that when the russians came, all the by the ruins who had fled, the lucas shenker regime to ukraine would be rounded up. so i could see this piece came with lovely words that had put it before. so we weren't only in danger because of the war mobile in the middle. possibly. we'll 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 in historical below, it wasn't so much the current situation that scared me, but the lack of any real prospect happened. perspective again, you put mileage to put that i just had no idea what would happen next of what lea can, you know. and of course that was terrible to be forced to flee for the 2nd time within half a year. that's up and give up everything again as a po. good said thoughts appearance because i, if i should, they took up their work again in warsaw in this video, parodies practices of post soviet television. like putting words in interviewee's mouths. begley. emmy, gra you refugee tell us how is life hears it? bad. draw some of his school juices and logan horrible. it's awful, everything's horrible. there's so many problems. the infrastructure, no jobs, no prospects higher prices than back home buying it. 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 arrange for her to have brain surgery. one, there they are. after completing the project, andrea maria moved on to berlin. a popular destination for people fleeing bella, roost ukraine, and russian village and rabbits. i like berlin a lot because parts of that remind me of minsk, if i had some interest of sophistic. so i almost feel at home here in my situation

. that's like a wonderful gift because i haven't been home for a year and a half now. and you should show them that i'm good them at ocean's would have to go to this is a very creative city with lots of interesting people and, and outstanding cultural life moga, because musically to coast i think i'll be able to gather lots of interesting and positive experiences here. well, pleasure to look at you know, with kirkwood lenient 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 andre. keep hoping for political change in bella bruce, only then can they think about returning to minsk?

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 zellow 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 have been grazing here for several months in the urine. mountains, by the town of belgian war. they're the european relation of the north american bison. disease, empty central european bison, or a forest animal seat. thus can all, 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 basins 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. seemed this seamless can often of segment. 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 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 basins roam free. just like when they were native. hear them alive. that's the dream of ranger. benjamin bruner and project manager auto hoods. gun. yeah. be sent to come for the 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 every one chairs. many farmers are worried about the idea at dark copa 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 they're already, wolves, oaks, wild boars, create a lot of damage. we don't need another wild animal 8th,

and especially not one that's being introduced artificially and goofy. 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 long? we farmers know how grazing animals behave, we know cows if at all, and they try to get food wherever it's easiest themself and voice. um, i have 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 from them food that of all see if they don't that a t, that oak hoods kong and bruner say the re wilding program in switzerland will help conserve european bison on the continent because they face extinction through inbreeding. more balls are needed that aren't related to each other. swapping them out ups 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. does he 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 policy on the roof to call him to rocks. 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 vanny. oh dera from realizing his dream of becoming a motorcross 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 to see his airborne acrobatics. van,

he uses his talent to help sick and disabled children a day in the life of moto growth freestyle champion vanny odessa, in bulgaria. ah, well not as i want to buy like the beauty of this sport is that even the richest person in the world can't buy the feeling you get walking in the sky next to your bike. ah, but it's not all back flips in the sky. vanny odette as we'll take him to all kinds of places like this hospital in genoa. ah, danny's moto gross journeys, started in 2002. he soon turned his passion into a profession and is now one of the most successful stars in the industry. his

$200.00 horsepower bikes, these him soaring up to 15 meters off the ground, but he's always afraid he says, verify what are the fear is what drives you to push on eagle 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 the, on the bike becomes something like a 3rd leg blue. his talent brought in fame, money, success and tournaments from brazil to russia. then one day, a taxi ride after a win in moscow, changed everything. oh, succeed you straight away, i noticed a strong smell of urine stuff. 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 and he was sitting there in his own urine. front cover of the gun. we're a signal to city, letty meadows. and from then on vanny began to help others. well donald

dollars, i gather tribe, are all the prize money wanting and went up to my hotel, ashamed of myself. but often i thought about what i could do to help the world. oh, i believe. and that's how he got the idea for motorcycle therapy in october was to 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 across i shoulda, 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 intonation. and he got a kind of a funny you know, really thunder pretty well. i a motorcycle ride can bring moments of joy, or at least distraction to people with a disability or illness. and the idea is spreading throughout italy. ah, this is genoa on a wednesday morning,
