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 as being anti russian and pro ukrainian ever since that day in october last year. when police questioned valia and her mother bulls thrush, my flesh, i was afraid to put 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, what does he want from me? i had never seen her before. it don't worry char ladder. oh, brother, 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 the authorities, various cellphone profile photo was an image of an alms toting virgin mary displayed in the ukrainian national colors. the school principal suspected subversive behavior. and alerted the police threats, interrogation, and dramatic rate on their apartment, followed as of arias. 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. the interrogation alone lasted for hours. last o thought we were confronted with strange questions about politics. fighting and about my daughter vania, and about what kind of a bad child she was a wider equal grandma higher. various 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 various 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. a short think warden as as the 3 years ago, i couldn't have imagined any thing like this happening in russia. a sophie to day,

i no longer identify with the rush and stay in unless it just and the child, 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. and russia and the next 20 or 30 years will help 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, rodya 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.

us ma'am? 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 sink safe, perry island. that is their message and it's a message they have now go to court. as many as want to for residence of perry island, who filed a lawsuit against cement, giant, wholesome, in switzerland, over its contribution to climate change. harshly coming along, emma said that it was sadder, ah wholesome. is one of the world's biggest contributor cecia to the emissions causing climate change that impacts our island? i mean, they still have declined. the seasons are unpredictable to answer that the sea level is rising. he, unless a man 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 are planting vegetables is one of the few left that has not been flooded by sea water in recent years. now they like it. wherever you go on the island, the struggle against the encroaching sea is obvious. many houses are flooded at high tide, but i re put gentle one of the plaintiff is determined to stay current li ok. since the constant studying began in 2019, it's been difficult to get keen water. we used to rely on this fresh water well, but now it's even unusable for dishwashing. my owners look at them with a lot of our the local environmental advocacy group. while he which specs the islanders alongside of swiss and german and g o is optimistic regarding the lawsuit . a similar environmental case again shell in the netherlands has recently been one . but they are preparing for a legal battle that could rack on for years. now,

campbells under the whole shim won't go bankrupt, we only demand 3 things, mitigation adaptation and loss or damage. and this means that we want to provide corrections to the existing production mode, not to bankrupt it. the for islanders are suing for $14000.00 euros in last damages to be shared amongst them a comparatively small amount. but for fishermen must have fear in. it would make a huge difference. saw the self service unless the america but the one that they should be led by their conscience medical and take responsibility for what they've done. they reap so much in profit that they are blinded by one. they don't see that we are bearing the brunt of a climate emergency medicaid, but downs up on like a rapid reduction in the companies carbon emissions which the lawsuit demands could make a difference in the long run. the plaintiffs are also demanding better flock defenses

and more mangrove restoration. the fight against the sea and global injustice on pari has just begun. our last stop is polls where brown bears are once again living in the forest on the carpathian mountains. animal rights activists are delighted, but forest owners and timber producers are annoyed. do the bears have a future here? here in the forests of southern poland, bears can still feel at home. retiring 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 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 bears can live undisturbed. forest 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 forest jim as a half decent gibbons as did you something local, we saw the 1st bears here in 1958 with his up the steep if you don't even to show them by the 1970 s, there were 20 bears hundreds v a g. and now we've got 200,

hold the hostile, that's quite a big increase. so the last untouched polish forestry authorities are more focused on logging because of russia's war in ukraine. lumber prices are high and fuel is scarce. most nuggets is a cut of them sleep, not listeners. if a or if from time to time a view of the trees where the protection fiddled, which are 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 activist 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 string album. yeah, keep of them we all i, i see the massive destruction going on here for somewhat of a pulled up now and her and her. and i don't condone it is good enough. those are both are curved. those are starving. sure. i want my daughter to be able to enjoy these old forests in the future. these are what's wrong starter law, sir. and perhaps still c 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 this problem with starting her can become a problem in recent decades faced is that i am ship incidents within 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 howard 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 the 3 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,
