but 1st we go to russia, where schools are being ordered to run special lessons justifying the war and ukraine. anyone daring to object can expect a police investigation for body. angelica music is the best way to unwind to forget school and trouble with the police. a few months ago, authorities labeled the 11 year old as problematic. they suspect her family of being anti russian and pro ukrainian ever since that day in october last year, when police questioned valia and her mother will star smith was i was afraid to call the police officer was sitting right across from me because she was tall and she stared at me through her glasses. what did it i thought which, what does he want from me? i had never seen her before. it. no more you chore. neither of bread by us. yes. reserve, bitterly. various alleged crime was that she had refused to attend

a new course on patriotism at school in the mandatory class, cold conversations about important things. students are told that the russian invasion of ukraine is just an act of liberation. even worse in the eyes of deal thirties, various cellphone profile photo was an image of an armed toting virgin mary displayed in the ukrainian national colors. the school principal suspected subversive behavior and alerted the police threats, interrogation, and dramatic raid on their apartment, followed as of areas. mother yelena recalls. she says it was a nightmare that lasted weeks. i need prosper. they really cause me and my daughter, a lot of pain. b, interrogation alone lasted for hours. last offer we were confronted with strange questions about politics. fighting and about my daughter valeria, and about what kind of a bad child she was a wider eco plan, ppo higher. very,

a story is not an isolated one. shortly after the start of the war, russia passed a law forbidding what they called the discrediting of the russian armed forces. for example, any one who called the war a war rather than a special military operation, as the authorities dictated, risked long sentences. hundreds of russians who openly protested against the war and criticized the kremlin, have been taken to court. some have been imprisoned in the jolly cause apartment. the authorities tried to find evidence that would prove that they had broken. the law says very as mother yelena, they found nothing, even so the jolly cars remain under police observation. yet anna says her carefree life is over. she no longer feel safe. you should think more than as, as the 3 years ago, i could not imagined anything like this happening and russia, a sophie to day,

i no longer identify with the rush and stay in unless it just in the her, the state is causing us too much pain in my children and me, i see it. i don't think we can expect anything good in russia and the next 20 or 30 years will know when my children will become adults. and that's why various family doesn't want to stay in russia much longer. it's just a matter of time before they move abroad. she says, maria has ambitions to become a great musician. free of any worries about the police. her hurry island in indonesia is a vacationers paradise. with long sandy beaches, turquoise sea and palm trees. but pari could soon disappear into the ocean. for fishermen are battling to save their home. these roots hold the

future for pari island. as man yeah and her friends are planting mangroves. once mature the trees will serve as a natural barrier to sea water erosion and reduce the risk of flux on the $42.00 hector island, which was just off the coast of jakarta. yeah, i don't wait until we think safe, perry island. that is their message and it's a message they have now go to court as money i want to for residence of perry island who filed a lawsuit against cement, giant, wholesome, in switzerland, over its contribution to climate change. housing in the line. you allow them, is it that it was sadder ah wholesome? is one of the world's biggest contributor cecia to emissions causing climate change that impacts our island? i mean, these thoughts have declined. the seasons unpredictable as it at the sea level is rising. he and his m and must hold haul sim, responsible for these consequences of climate change. but of any kind of in this

field where the women of the village or planting vegetables is one of the few left that has not been flooded by sea water. in recent years, regularly, wherever you go on the island, the struggle against the encroaching sea is obvious. many houses are flooded at high tide, but are if put gentle, one of the plaintiffs is determined to stay under the re, okay. kind of car, since the constant flooding began in 2019, it's been difficult to get clean water. we used to rely on this fresh water well, but now it's even on usable for dish washing elmira. and look at them with the latter that the local environmental advocacy group, while he which backs the island roost alongside a swiss and a german and g o is optimistic regarding the lawsuit. a similar environmental case against shell in the netherlands has recently been one, but they are preparing for a legal battle that could rack on for years of uncle cancelled on the whole shim

won't go bankrupt. we only demand 3 things come, mitigation, adaptation and loss or damage. can. this means that we want to provide corrections to the existing production mode, not to bankrupt it before islanders are suing for 14000 euros in lawson damages to be shared amongst them. a comparatively small amount, but for fishermen must act, fearing it would make a huge difference. sadler self. so that's unless the america but don't wind up that they should be led by their conscience, monica, and take responsibility for what they've done, seal, they reap so much and profit that they are blinded by it owns the land. they don't see that we are bearing the brunt of a climate emergency. i don't, i think mike, i thought but that, but for adam or am i in a rapid reduction in the company's carbon emissions, which the lawsuit demands could make a difference in the long run. the plaintiffs are also demanding better flood

defenses and more mangrove restoration. the fight against lucy and global injustice on pari has just begun. our last stop is polish, where brown bears are once again living in the force of the carpathian mountains. animal rights activists are delighted, but forest owners and timber producers are annoying to the bears have a future here. here in the forests of southern poland, bears can still feel at home. for the tiring old 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 later on it can become even bigger and it can become inhabited by bur. the red dot marks the tree for felling at decision meet by polish forest authorities. these trees are not standing in a nature reserve. that's a problem for the bears. logging interest take priority here. that limits the spaces where bears can live undisturbed. forrest authorities, warren visitors not to get too close to the animals, but that rarely happens anyway. the department 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 fish on getting sufficient in rock or we saw the 1st bears here in 1950. and i took his up the steep if this was given to show them by the 1970 s,

there were 20 bears gunners v and now we've got 200, hold the hostile, that's quite a big increase. so the last hunter rushed. polish forestry authorities are more focused on logging because of russia's war in ukraine. lumber prices are high and fuel is scarce. was now going to zip code of them sleep, not listeners. it is if a or if from time to time a few of the trees were the protection said, all the hotels, the ones that could be natural, monuments obviously are cut down density 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 forest activists 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 strang album. yeah, keep of them we own. i see the massive destruction going on here for somewhat of a pulled up now and turner, and i don't condone as you go do not those are both or curve. those are starving. sure. i want my daughter to be able to enjoy these old forests in the future. lisa, what's wrong 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 a problem with her and can become a problem in recent decades. as to that shift, 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 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 you can quite easily imagine how a bear that is, the big animal of 200 kilograms, could actually fit inside the tree inside this tree. not now, but in the future, if 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. ah
