time to stroll to keep together. they've been on duty since the very 1st day of the war. this time it's like to return completely towards a time before i could see old changes sexual it was happens to keep. but i seen feel like eating you after a few months since the beginning of work. so much much is for elizabeth is good to have a place where you could get a john from frontline and understand that that's why the school we 1st met the couple a few weeks before rushes full scale invasion. marta and sir he had just joined ukraine's territorial defense forces, a military reserve of the countries on forces. few members had previous military experience. marta and sir he didn't either. they got training once

a week in the very basics of combat. listen problem. all the stuff that you couldn't, we just zeal in the movie. so as of the common carriers, you know, they seems very simple. but in general, when you started to do it, it's quite difficult because you need to know how to do it correctly or not to be inventive for yourself and for your colleagues. so quite humble, the skills, very basic, but very important skills. at that time, the territorial defense forces were intended to support the military in case of war, but mainly behind the front lines at check points. for instance, a year ago nobody knew whether or not russia would actually invade. but if war did come, marta knew she wanted to be prepared for the it's difficult to

explain to foreign this why via exactly know what to expect from russia. but if you happen to know history of many, many times they just physically destroy all roots of the brain. yes. marty did not consider herself the adventurous type before the war she'd been living an ordinary low key life. she had a house just outside cheve, a garden and some pets. after studying medicine, marta was supervising studies for international pharmaceutical companies from home . but she sense that the tranquillity wouldn't last. it's almost impossible to imagine what will happen if i have to leave it to. if i have to just a fight and it will been destroyed, it could happens. i am trying to be ready for this because it's still how to say in bethany lately. i don't want to preserve this a on the price of being live on to accomplish.

damn, that close more came much faster than expected for the pair was part of the defense forces. as soon as the war began with russian troops swiftly advancing on keep, their hometown became awards own sir, he was fighting in the trenches. by march, i served as a medic and a 1st aid station with these days, the territorial defense force is no longer stay well behind the front lines. they become active combat units and are deployed to some of the most perilous sections of the front. blue. ah marta and sir,

he were both recently at the fiercely contested don bus front a dinner i am still afraid of edison because it is a little bit. i mean, not a little bit to his far more advanced and this, i'm still afraid, but what's already happens when i know that they have to go there, you know, i just could go otherwise, i would never go back with me now for the 1st time, a couple has some time off together, but he quickly pulled his lee. i was not really optimistic on the 1st month so far. i have feeling that elusive between it is was big problem. it was

difficult to move it from yours from supervision. but i only see how are me became stronger and they are really prone for see this but as they walk around their home town, which for now is more or less peaceful. they come across reminders of the war. in the center of keys, the authorities have had wreckage of russian tanks on display but the 2 have already seen plenty of those. the hypothetical situation they started preparing for over a year ago became a deadly and all too bitter reality. his mother begged him not to ride a motorcycle, but italian vanny. oh dera, couldn't ignore his calling and following his heart has paid off. oh,

ah, danny's motorcross journeys started in 2002. he soon turned his passion into a profession and is now one of the most successful doors 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, of it. if our water of fear is what drives you to push on it 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. but i'm off the bite becomes something like a 3rd leg blue. his talent brought him fame, money, success and tournaments from brazil to russia. then one day, a taxi ride after a, when in moscow changed everything. oh, succeed you straight away? i noticed a strong smell of uranus. i snapped at the driver to hurry up and quickly take me

to my destination. you vehicles at all. then i looked into his eyes and saw a man like me who was for me, but he was missing his legs and he was sitting there in his own urine on cover, oregon. let us in to city, let him in social. and from then on, vanny began to help others well dotted de la these i gave the driver all the prize money and went up to my hotel, ashamed of myself. but often i thought about what i could do to help the world. i've only told him and that's how he got the idea for motors. psychotherapy, 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 because i get sure they loved it. and so i invited them to turn him and he saw in italy with that can and abroad and put on a navy in asia. really got a kind of a funny, you know, really thought to pretty well. this is genoa on a wednesday morning,

vanny and his friend, my tail valeca bogey, are preparing to visit the children's hospital and ghastly me. they've been dropping into clinics since 2014. 0, it's like hitch. i gave her all these other. she'll go with movie and pick a gift review and now it's his turn. he's never been on a murder back before. i don't want this whole long time off. we go. the similar monthly luckily, our electric motorcycle so the kids in hospital can enjoy them too for life. we want to make this place into a big circuits because kids should be able to feel like kids, even in a hospital. my like patients 24 young patients are waiting for vanny and his motorcycle in the cancer ward too. he comes by twice a month. 2 0 yeah he what's your name? i g r g. okay. oh,

a small fee. the austrian will bring your work to safety deep. an austria sounds camera, good mountains. the warehouse lies and one of the worlds all this salt mines near hall stat and to ensure that the data is stored in his treasure trove, with sans any catastrophe concerned, doesn't secure digitally. but on the material you can find at any hardware store. ah, martin, kansas is on his way to his treasure trove, located deep in a mountain and austria. it's a fault of stone and salt. he's given the project to name the memory of mankind. it's star and we're in the so to reg, host at the world's oldest. so we're going to take this old mining train around 500 meters into the mountain time to go with this group of mountains and

upper austria is called her let's the region is famous for its rock salt extracted here for centuries, the old pits and shafts provide ideal protection for martin concepts archive project. the data is inside these boxes of fired clay. but here data isn't being stored digitally. it's on ceramic tiles, not unlike those. you can buy concept burns text and images into the tiles. what get stored is selected according to his own criteria. be against anna and a hunt for tavern widow. we've brought another handful of tiles into the mountain and will now put them into this box here. turn enters. oh, this is part the locksmiths training journal from the 1950s salih over earlington lawrence, things were done differently both in the system, which is why i think it's worth preserving that often do it as alcohol spirit. besides his own selections console will also store private texts and images for

anyone in exchange for a small fee or stories about the covered lockdown. for example, when he wrote it. so that's what a doctoral thesis of a pakistani antiquities researcher, who doesn't want to only rely on digital clouds and servers so hard by abbreviate lane on his own. so our internet and information stores isn't as long lasting as we think. that's one of the reasons why i decided to set up this archive so that information can be stored for the long term. much of a future generation was off got so they can gain some insight into their own past the mid d and an applicant the and agony for parenthood hom kernan. conser says his tiles are indestructible and the v and a native knows what he's talking about. he's a trained ceramic specialist and well versed in these materials. he even developed a special process for burning high resolution images and text on the tiles in his

workshop at home. it can take hours or even days the supervisor goes with his wet plays of the child bombs with the color grains, then it causes food all after that, it's a smooth surface. that's why it's so durable. it is the full heart bar. whenever a batch of tiles is finished, martin conser heads for the salt mine and housed at the picturesque location of trucks many tourists and has been used at the fillum location. visitors from around the world come to house, start with you know, the deep in the mountain above them. a time capsule archive has been growing for a decade tile by tile. this tile is particularly important to martin cancer. it shows how iglesia has melted and just a few decades doesn't and thought is element, that's the central element of the archive, documented climate change. because if we don't safely preserve the raw climate

observation data, future generations might not understand that climate change took place. and certainly not to what extent i went from going through, i was masser. the project won't be limited to just tiles. scientists are working with martin conser on new data storage materials to fit more data on smaller spaces . because there's plenty of demand. even the university of vienna has tiles here, the project memory of mankind is to last forever for every one. spain's countryside has seen populations plunge as people leave their home villages for big cities. it's a phenomenon that's become known as empty spain, in the southeast of the country. the village of penny, as after the about all has all but emptied out the youth, have left the elderly are left behind. it's a bitter pill to swallow for lucy. yet, nicholas who runs the village, but she is not giving up just yet. no sir has launched an eye catching campaign
