k 4 has observed, were unfolding without intervening. the soldiers only step in kosovo and you police forces failed to get the situation under control by a squad in particular. we were responsible for on top of the hill behind us. like in that general facility, like ensuring a no size traffic was coming through. and just we had others that belong with our company on stand by just re the support cl, the al kosovo police department. nowhere are the divisions in kosovo, more evident than in the city of metro visa, where the south is mostly populated by kosovo, albanians and the north by kosovo. serbs, you police guard the bridge that connects the 2 parts on the albanian side. people talk about their fear and distrust thus, for these cabinets on woman,

i know that up or we don't have any kind of relationship with the people over there . now i'm not sure the daughter she thought and okay me but i'm if what i'm afraid to talk to not yet because i go over there often and the could do something to me in the north. there are serbian flags everywhere. the only person willing to speak with us is a teenager almost doubled the boy in how to make it better. no idea. now, i mean they may be by kosovo, fully belonging to serbia, the commerce, the one we don't go to the other side. nice to that, we don't have any friends there, so we stay here in the north and and serbia. oh, kosovo and serbia have agreed to a proposal aimed at stabilizing relations. and although both sides have yet to sign, it is the 1st shimmer of hope in a long time. so most of the movement of what makes me more optimistic is some of the pressure of the western countries or severe, you know, surveys surrounded by,
8:36 am
by european union and by your natal. these cars are right on the way back to the base. the key for soldiers made a group of serbs protesting the expropriation of property by the kosovo state. yes, the long colloquy waffle morty, gone. it's in your power, and you and your superiors could talk to the leaders and the people in charge. and krishna that would really help us. what you want to follow. i don't like the most i can do is relay that. but what i can do for you guys like, cuz at 1st we didn't think that we were welcomed at the protests. you, i mean, but we can stop. hang out, show the, we're here. and i mean, so it's like a unity. kenneth m light is at yahoo is act. if he was friendly. the serbs claim that's neighbors from the kosovo police are hiding up in the forest. and indeed, there are some patrol cars following the protest from
8:37 am
a distance. we are not allowed to film. distrust runs deep in kosovo on both sides, and there is little to indicate that it will change any time soon their treasures of the ocean that have existed for hundreds of millions of years. and it's not only divers and ecologists who are enchanted by these natural treasures, but also jewelers the red coral from the mediterranean sea is coveted, and is found in abundance in italy's torre del grayco. but the organisms are under threat not only from climate change, but also from poaching. smugglers are plundering the precious red coral to get a share of the multi $1000000.00 industry. michel cut towel though is a vendor who knows the trick smugglers used to evade the authorities. naples in southern italy, for centuries, the region has been famous for quarrels. under the shadow of mount vesuvius lies
8:38 am
torre del grecko, the unofficial capital of the global coral trade. local business leaders are up beat read coral jewelry is once again in demand international fashion and jewelry. brands are flocking to torre del greco local entrepreneur maria de simona believes this success is helped by a serious commitment to conservation. she says her business strictly follows environmental protection rules. yeah. she's aware of the illegal coral trade, but says that's a different world. you have a name, you have a story, you have her something to defend. and you either do this things that are manufactory. i mean, also small which have a name as respectful name and that i'm sure they don't, that they have enough thing to do all week these people. eventually we find
8:39 am
a merchant who's willing to discuss the darker side of the coral trade. mika catallo says, the atmosphere is something akin to a gold rush. he says, although authorities are keeping a closer eye on the problem, smugglers continue finding new routes. i say something although larry colorado flew because of a low. ah, let possible goods, goods, the gore from spain has been isabel's soft blue country and saw bays, spain, france, they don't come in italy. they find another way we had to the other side of the mediterranean sea, wherein to barca on tenicia, northern mediterranean coast. for centuries, everything here revolved around precious coral. but unlike in italy, business has slow, local residents tell us 90 percent of the shops have closed because there is no more coral available. she walked to my flock on will at some point,
8:40 am
they will probably be no more quarrel left at all. haley and people die out more that as a shortage already makes it unaffordable for people here may yet have no money. who can afford top quality coral jewelry? it may be artists or business people on the fit for years, solid butare worked as a coral diver. he insists he always stuck to the rules, but now he's grown too old for the job and allows other divers to use his boat instead of yeah, laquisha was a lot of illegal fishing going on and that creates huge problems for us because at destroyers are carl stocks and the entire seaboard me due to no fault mother. if 10 kilos of coral are growing on a rock, illegal fishing methods will destroy all the habitat to round it. if you please, could you get her to cry? is our robert g. 90 yellows of the coral is lost and only one kilo ends up being caught. sorry, as i said, almost all too fast. he says the coral is smuggled by
8:41 am
a tenicia and sent all over the world. demand in southern europe and asia is especially high. he says it's hard for authorities to verify the corals origins. he will discover coral as almost like cocaine these days. as our topic, a county, i need the yard while ago they caught an italian man with a boat, who was transporting coral to italy, legally boxes that all got it figured out yet. okay. yeah, every one knows, smuggling is happening here. expect that you are illegal only than the coast guard regularly conduct searches of boats at the small port after barca. 3 years ago, they uncovered a network of smugglers. from algeria, tunisia and spain, whose global trade and coral was worth millions of euros. hustler, not for the cause in, they often store the goods in the city of desert or the capital tunis lozzo. then they tried to explore it. it is not the classic route is to italy, it tucker,
8:42 am
even when the speck of it from there, the coral is often transported to destinations as far away as india with the lemons . but at it, he thought he learned that in many asian countries, the underwater species are said to have health benefits and even supernatural powers. criminal networks go to great lengths to cash in on the precious corals which often live hundreds of meters below the surface. jewelry artisan more at our folly is convinced that all the problems plaguing the coral stem from one thing, humans and their greed ye and huddle wishing out of them just like many other species or corals are dying because we no longer give them time time to grow and develop of them simply don't appreciate the treasures of our oceans. any more, said mckee, i think it was. she was you in love that we are all back in. taught a dell kreckle. the problems of the north african traders seemed far away. even
8:43 am
still, many are realizing if they don't take action to combat the illegal trade, the coral stocks could run out forever. for centuries, peeve has been used in irish homes for few and heating. the country likes other natural resources like coal, oil, and gas. pete also known as turf, is not only found in abundance and ireland. it is also cheap. many people in the countryside build up their own reserves. first, eating and cooking. no conroy is one of them. for now, at least he is rattled by the government's plan to ban turf. cutting pete lens that are intact, store vast amounts of c o 2 and can reduce greenhouse gases. but for the people in the irish countryside, the climate friendly alternative to heat and fuel their homes is an unattractive option. ah leim and a sister phyllis price of
8:44 am
a veritable treasure and the garden, their property and the irish midlands includes moorland and d cheer. the harvest pete also known as turf, the heath, their house. the good part that you're looking for a part to barn is from this level. and that's ground tough that, that, that daft with right to the, to the end there would keep one house warm for a year. harmony has been harvesting pete for generations. the siblings, their children, all of them burn pete for heating. it's part of the culture, but possibly for not much younger. burning pete is very damaging to the climate, and the irish government wants to put an end to it. well, i don't think we're causing that much. i mean, all the plans up there and we never get anything is cheapest turf? i mean, we don't have all these in our house. we just have their supply of pete spears, them from skyrocketing energy bills. once a year they use
8:45 am
a machine to collect and cut the pete. it's done set aside to dry and that's it. very 250 years war to tar sir. and that will do for over year. tracy there are some 100000 people in ireland who still harvest pete from the local moors to heat their homes. many are fighting to keep things as they are. oh, last year the government tried to implement a partial ban on peach cutting. it triggered under the countryside, like here in clara almost argued in 90 percent of the houses here are, are boarding local politicians and lobbyists like seamus. poland did all they could to lift the restrictions, saying they'd come too fast when you introduce the law without the supports to
8:46 am
implement that law than you, you cause enormous trouble and pain and it's practically and physically not possible for people to make that change. mm hm. that's one side of the story. but tristram white says there's another side, and time is of the essence. pete lance can work miracles in the fight against climate change and c o 2 emissions is put great effort into restoring this more carbon from the air that then look under that water table and it save that for thousands of years. and that was a part of the carbon cycle they were taking this, this, this, this carbon from the atmosphere and locking it away. and that was what was regulated climb and regulate in a temperature. about 90 percent of our lands wetlands have been destroyed partly through industrialization. this bog just opposite was extracted for a former pete power plant. this site is
8:47 am
releasing carbon, you know it, it's crackin and it's, it's, it's leaking off in the water as well as old carbon, and the pete following pressure from residence in rural areas. cutting pete remains allowed for private use, but the commercial sale of pete is banned under pressure from the you to meet climate targets. the irish government is still intent on persuading those who still burn pete for heating to switch to greener methods. one of the huge yeah, important things to put low cost loans. we need to move to electricity for heating and we're going to produce huge amounts of renewable electricity in the coming decade. here in ireland. no conroy is worried. he needs turf to heat his house to cook and to have a hot shower. i'd have to spend a 100000 here now to bring my house up to don't go to modern day houses, and i, i just can't afford us. he rejects allegations that he doesn't care about the
8:48 am
environment, like others. he gave his bog to the state, so it could be restored. in return, he received a smaller piece of moorland for his own use. we want to play our fart for it rather than gun close. if i know we we, we should go have dinner to, to rodents. and if tor fulton has calmed or has to be a us a thought, a dial tone, for now there is no satisfactory solution. and putting an end to the traditional practice of p t harvesting is hard to imagine with ether being some major investments. i, he is a celebrated top chef and france with several michelin stars to his name. teary marks moves in exclusive circles in the capital, paris, but his personal philosophy is quite the opposite. the chef rose from humble beginnings to become a millionaire all without a high school diploma. he believes wealth is a good thing if it's shared. some ave,

8:54 am
a cross and a candle. but there's also a bath tub at the fountains church in bradford and northern england and most unusual, a wrestling ring. and a monthly show you read the bible, there are stories in that can enable someone got murdered. there are always a people fighting. the whole of book of job is rem, wrestling with, with the circumstances that he's in the psalm. see david's kind of expressing his feelings like all of that is in the bible and there's worse than wrestling in the bible. that's certainly true. and some may prefer rock guitar to the more traditional church organ. in any case, the atmosphere is electric. as the 2 wrestlers step into the ring in this choreograph show metal god, alex and jack johnson seems evenly matched. but it's the latter who gets the upper hand. perhaps with
