waterfalls flowing water particles into the air b, trees sweating out up to 1000 liters of water in a day. a forest fires evaporating large amounts of moisture tune in to get the answer. and learn more about this phenomenon, a heavy, invisible river that flows through the sky starts march 23rd on d w. ah, this is focus on europe. i'm lar babel lola, a war welcome to the show. it's a powder keg in the balkans that's had the e on edge for years. just weeks ago there were fears that an armed conflict between

kosovo and serbia could break out. in december serbian protestors erected road blocks in northern kosovo. they were calling in part for the release of a serv detained for attacking ca, civil police. tensions flared, and serbia put its army on high combat alert. well, the european union just recently published a peace plan to normalize ties in kosovo. both sides have endorsed the road map which includes strengthening the self managing rights of the serbian minority in kosovo. a group that refuses to recognise kosovo as an independent country. for more than 20 years. the international peacekeeping force k for, has been mediating between the 2 ethnic groups to maintain stability, a balancing act in a country, divide it, ah, they've been more heavily armed in the past. but for the soldiers of the k,

for international peacekeeping force, the pistols are largely symbolic at the moment. for now, the situation is calm and northern, kosovo. there's a chance to connect with the locals in the small town of little savage. on one of our local stabs at a restaurant found out that they are in a power outage. and so we're just trying to get a feel for how far the power outage spread and how it's like affecting the local population right now. at the local hospital. a doctor confirmed that there was an outage, but says they have emergency generators. a power outage here can have significance for the military. so the soldiers gather information whenever they can, before having the obligatory cup of coffee. some legal aid with kosovo, just celebrated 15 years of independence. but in that, the savage only serbian flags are on display. the defiant words splashed on the

wall. read this as serbia have no fear. we are here to protect you. we try to keep a very neutral posture. we don't wanna look too aggressive for wanna cause that in a day. i mean, we're people to, we understand like the issues and concerns that they have as well. we follow the peacekeepers nor to the border with a regularly patrol and for good reason to ensure that bundle they will. a few weeks ago, there was a flare up at the border with radical serbs clashing with kosovo, albanians. the tension ran higher than it had in a long time. not least because of an unidentified group of masked men. oh, there are russians. a serb says in this cellphone footage has been speculation that mercenaries from the notorious wagner group were brought in as agitators on russian orders. a k 4 has observed what

unfolding without intervening, the soldiers only step in of kosovo and you police force has 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 vicinity, like ensuring that no side traffic was coming through. and just we had others the belong with our company on stand by just very the support see, you know, the a, kosovo police department. nowhere are the divisions and kosovo, more evident than in the city. a metro visa where the south is mostly populated by kosovar, albanians and the north by kosovo. serbs, you, you police guard the bridge that connects the 2 parts on the albanian side. people talk about their fear and distrust thus,

for this is god nathan woman. i know that up when we don't have any kind of relationship with the people over there. now i'm not sure the daughter should the thought and kimmy, but hold on her for it. i'm afraid to talk it through. not yet that because i go over there often and they 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, commerce, the with that one, we don't go to the other side. nice 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 what makes me more optimistic is the pressure of the western countries or severe service surrounded by my european union

and by natal. these cars are right on our right on the way back to the base. the k for soldiers made a group of serbs protesting the expropriation of property by the kosovo state. the local equip, one for more to go. it's in your power and you and your superiors could talk to the leaders and the people in charge and pristine a that would really help us the most i can do is relay that. but what i can do for you guys like, cuz i at 1st we didn't think that we were welcomed at the protest. you, i mean, but we can stop paying out, show that we're here. you know, i mean, so it's like a unity kind of thing like that is that if you want to emulate the serbs claim that's neighbors from the coast of police are hiding up in the forest. and indeed, there are some patrol cars following the protest from

a distance. we are not allowed to film. distress runs deep in kosovo on both sides . and there is little to indicate that it will change anytime soon. they are 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. and it leaves 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. micco 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

tawnie del greco, 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 taught a dell, greco local entrepreneur muddy a day. simona believes this success is helped by a serious commitment to conservation. she says her business strictly follows environmental protection rules, okay. she's aware of the illegal coral trade but says that's a different world. you ever name you or the story you ever. oh, something to defend and there you then do these things. there are many factories, i mean also small, which have a name as respectful name, and i'm sure they don't that they have enough thing to do with these people. eventually we find

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 continued find in new roots. ha. i said something although very cordial flow because a day later, ah, let possible goods, goods, the coral, from spain as been isabel, softer country and so base been of france. they don't come in in italy. they find another way we head to the other side of the mediterranean sea, wherein to barker on tenicia, northern mediterranean coast. for centuries, everything here revolved around precious coral. but unlike in italy, business is slow. local residents tell us 90 percent of the shops have closed because there is no more coral available. she walked to my clock on will. at some

point there will probably be no more quarrel left at all. hello. people die out more than a shortage, already makes it unaffordable for people here. maybe it have no money. damages who can afford top quality coral jewelry. it may be artists or business people on that there 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. yeah, laquisha was a lot of illegal fishing going on. and that creates huge problems for us. because at the roy's or coral stocks and the entire seaboard, we did the fault mother. if 10 kilos of coral are growing on a rock, illegal fishing methods will destroy all the habitat around it. yeah, please, could you get her to cry? is our robert g? my yellows of the coral is last, and only one kilo ends of been caught. sorry, as, as almost daunted fast. he says the coral is smuggled by

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 did go coolers, almost like cocaine these days. was art advocate, gunky or any that yard a 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 look like every one knows. smuggling is happening here. it's not. that's not illegal. only than the coast guard regularly conduct searches of volts at the small port of to barca. 3 years ago they uncovered a network of smugglers. from algeria, tunisia and spain, whose global trade and coral was worth millions of years. hustler not for that was in. they often store the goods in the city of desert, where the capital tunis plasma. then they tried to explored it,

not for the classic route is to italy. it could have been municipal viola from there. the coral is often transported to destinations as far away as india with the moment put 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 great gene 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 that, we simply don't appreciate the treasures of our oceans any more. so mickey, 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

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 in 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 lema and a sister phyllis price of

a veritable treasure and the garden. their property in the midlands includes moorland and d cheer. the harvest pete, also known as turf, the heath, or house. well, the, the, the good part is you're looking for a part to barn is from this level and the ground turf that, that daft with right to the, to the end, there would keep one house warm for a year that the family has been harvesting pete for generations, the siblings are 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

a machine to collect and cut the pete. it's done set aside to dry and that's it was very 250 years worked to tar fair. and that will do for over a year. steve, there are some 100000 people in arlan to 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's tried to implement a partial ban on pete's cutting. it triggered under the countryside like here in clara almost circling 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

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 does 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 you know, that was what was regulated climate and regulate in a temperature. about 90 percent of irelands wetlands have been destroyed. partly through industrialization, this bog just opposite was extracted for a former pete power plant. this site is

releasing carbon, you know it, it's crackin and it's, it's, it's leaking off in the water as well as all the 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 with what 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 orland. 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 want a modern to house, and i just can't afford us. he rejects allegations that he doesn't care about the

environment, like others. he gave his bug 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 heart for it rather than gun crucifying us. we we, we should go have dinner to, to do that. and if thornton has come to has to be a us, a solid alternative for now and there is no satisfactory solution. i'm putting an end to the traditional practice of p. t harvesting is hard to imagine with ether being some major investments. 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

4 years ago, he had to find his way, 1st in austria than in france. summary says cooking is not just about earning a living. it's a calling for our was yeah. and he bought a pair of your circle, griffin. they already had experience because i learned to cook with my mother or more mer, ruthie on pause her in francisco. i live with 5 with the afghans and i cook afghan dishes for them for it was in a low. i've garner mortgagee. teary marks is passionate about training and susie asked at cooks liked samarnie. oh, he teaches classes in the cooking school. he founded cuisine mode employ live. we'll say, here's a tube. when you make shoe pastry, be sure to beat the eggs. first. settle place. every movement

a marks himself didn't graduate from school, and he wants to help people put their problems behind them. lou facilities were not interested in people's past, or we ask what they want to do now. if they want to cook, we can help with it. for summer, hey, it's the chance of a lifetime. one, he doesn't want to miss the go though, that they had to learn a little breath because she was here, but they've had the that they learned to do very, very from my shift theory works. those who get through 3 months of training and pass the exams can usually find a job in high end paris restaurants. the best books and what mill gift we noticed that it puts people back in an upright position. they can see beyond the horizon. and imagine becoming establish chefs and crafting their own style in summer a wants to combine afghan and french cuisine. one idea is to serve traditional

a cross yellow 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 isn't 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 if the latter who gets the upper hand, perhaps with a little help from above,

his tiny got led down the wrong path, given wiring from being quiet roof area. and i got involved like the wrong crowd of people. and that if i feel like with wrestling and gtm style of his to far i found the right paths all his life. i believe now is my time to take that step into faith . and while shall i all the past. negativity wash away literally after the fight. jap johnson is one of a few to be christened. ah, it's not only the trial that's in great spirits. so is the bishop of bradford, who thinks it's great to preach from the ring, what it means to fight when people are willing to be o about their story. and it is a beautiful thing, and it's a beautiful thing and we, we hold it very tenderly. sometimes like tonight i feel like i'll miss need to take off my shoes because it's holy ground
