5:35 pm
that's also true for this man from a town about a 100 kilometers from the dutch border. he doesn't want to give his name. not long ago to atems were robbed near by. his family lives above n e t a machine. a gas line runs between the 2 stories which could explode during a robbery. deer are forced to work. we are so scared we sleep terribly. of course your business. we're not doing well enough for we're worried all the time. you're at night the slightest noise wakes. the satin local and state officials are aware that people are worried the back of the shaft and luncheon hatch, i'm tissue. german banking sector has pledged to the federal minister of the interior that they will better secure their atm smith. step up safety measures. ave keep less cash in the machines and render stolen cash unusable buffer event. but tomorrow we contacted the national association of german cooperative banks to find
5:36 pm
out more. they declined to be interviewed, but gave us a written statement. it has been our goal for years to prevent attacks and permanently reduced the number of 18 bombings to appropriate preventative measures . ah, for now though, there's no end in sight. and given the rising number of atm robberies in germany, the next one is probably just hours away. none sweden is known for its hundreds of reindeers and unspoiled nato reindeer. harding has had a long history in this area and has helped shiba rugged landscape, but this landscape might change. and that's because recently sweden, sir, that has discovered about 1000000 tons of rare earth mineral deposits near kuna.
5:37 pm
it's none more city. these rare art methods are key competence and every ping from eagle batteries to mobile phones, to wind turbines. the problem is that mining these deposits, what would the livelihood culture and heritage or reindeer herders? lake yonah, alice at risk in april, sweden's far north is still covered in ice and snow. it may look bleak, but it's teeming with life. ah reindeer, follow their ancient roots through the land of the sammy, the last indigenous people of europe. jonah, alas, is sammy. he's heading out to attend his herd, which rooms freely in the snow covered landscape. but this way of life is in danger . for years the reindeers habitat has been shrinking
5:38 pm
long on rolled on avi from re hold. this is our land and we worked to land the clock, but the day when a large areas for our herds. and susan, here, the situation gets worse and despite laura polka down as dog lexie picks up her ears. a few wayne deer had lost their way. there headed to an area where there is a dangerous road crossing and a railway line. yet there were, there were a muzzle. the reindeer were going the wrong direction. i give. i stood before we've sent them back on to the right track. but. but i'd seen only a few kilometers away. a new mine is being built with many roads and power lines, which will also endanger the herds. a team from the state mining company is already
5:39 pm
digging deep into the frozen earth. they believe there's a huge deposit of valuable, rare earths under ground, sweetened hopes to profit from the deposits and drive forward the green energy transition. the plan called the se, but the let. we're not saying it will be easier problem free, liam. and yes, it could be hard for the saw me think about us all, but this is about more than reindeer herders. our lives about sweden and the you all up a hell you everyone around the world has to die the full shuttle from you. we have to stop admitting somebody there to kind of fit on. we all have to make sacrifice was the beautiful thing. oh, the town of ketone on north of the arctic circle is at the center of sweden's mining industry. iron or has been mined. here for more than a 100 years now, the mines are slated to expand, to extract the rare earth you shaft to being drilled.
5:40 pm
my fear has long been defined by the mining industry. when a new shaft is drilled, local residents have to give way. buildings threatened by the minor slated for demolition, including $2500.00 apartments. even the old wooden church will be relocated, bigoted doll bag grew up in quito now. her former home now stands behind the construction fence. she had to move out a year ago. the mine operators have given her a new apartment elements of the or has to come out the going to friendly than my ordinary people can't stop at the suit of some who wants to live here the way it looks now. anyway, v for scott would have to build a new kiona tide every 2nd parallel manage
5:41 pm
and the battle is still sad to lose your own history. hard seen historian, it's even worse to lose your livelihood, which is what diona is worried about. it's something he often talks about with carving, a herder from the next village. herd is also at risk and she believes it's not truly necessary. oh, it was the bird. yeah. we have to start using and recycling the rare earths. we already have a population that are only one percent of rarer, so recycled the we need to do better with recycling before we destroy even more land and water in our me for stardom year. my youngest daughter also hopes to become a reindeer. heard her one day, the sammy passed down their knowledge through the generations down our plans to
5:42 pm
continue protesting the mine to protect the sammy's way of life here in sweden, sparring north. oh yes, rick the much m. as often seeing your from if we stop fighting, we start believing in the future. lumber, your little the ranger heard them had a lot of room to roast of each other, but we have to fight for that. so that we can keep this going. can approach at www . ah, when the snow melts, the herds will move high into the mountains, and yonah, alas, will go with them all over the world. more professional fire fighters are meant. there is a misconception that women can't handle the physical demands of the work. spain has no exception, but that might thorn change. catalonia in the country is northeast, has decided that 40 percent of new recruits should be women. this 4 door for mixed
5:43 pm
practice drill, which today is quite an exception, might soon become the nom. but the new initiator has thought and least bogged a debate, some say, but gatlin government has gone a bit too far in the name of equality. others say it's high down for spain to step up and close those gender gap. o, the fire department here in the northeastern spanish city of garden warriors is conducting a training dro. it's all in a day's work for maria casias. she is one of catalonia, as few women firefighters. soon there will be more thanks to a new gender quota one that i begin nanning of lendy allied to this. and when i was a young girl at the, i knew i couldn't have imagined becoming a fire fighter. glendale of women didn't do that again. was that a bit of it? but i think when people see women doing this job able encourage other women to give it a try. they buy that a set of own that are going to say,
5:44 pm
i was good and ah, for now though, women are still an exception. in the catalogue fire department, they make up less than 3 percent of the 4th. to day maria is training with female firefighters from the region in this drill, they have to rescue an injured driver using heavy equipment. it's high intensity work that takes a lot of skill funding. it isn't. i was a gay man by sienna, it is on the, on my know when he started 7 in the morning. you never know what's coming and not ease him, but as a i n o and did any work in a teen magdalana, so you're never alone. go nike book i in august as sola, the catalog regional government has now introduced to quota to attract more women
5:45 pm
to the fire department. need a happy to new from 40 percent of new vacancies are slated for female applicant will. the maria munoz is pleased about the new quota. she's one of the few high ranking women in the department and heads a team of men in the command center. isn't that on a key boy on the on teamwork is key to this job. the more 1st we are saying that the more efficiently we will handle emergencies that scientifically proven later on, but every out aloud is different. what i mean, so will benefit from having people with a variety of talent, psychopathy, additive, buford embassy, about the, there's a strength in diversity, and that is when i tell my friends, ah, but the quota has ignited debate in the department. many male firefighters say that entry requirements for men and women should be the say, they say that's what he quality means. a yohina zambrano of the civil servants union believes the quota overshoot. it's goal natalie,
5:46 pm
i didn't get him. i think that he can be able to, society should approach this more intelligently in the for talented people, whether they're men or women. think a settlement will fit is key. so we need to change our way of thinking. it was a good doctor, and it doesn't matter if they're a man or a woman. they want to tell nobody. oh no, i need good firefighters, whether male or female, nobody. oh no kid, our government administrators need to focus on ability and skills videos. that's what our society needs are stuck in this, and if you can make c collateral through that with you. oh yeah, it's a hot topic among the firefighters. maria doesn't want to comment, unlike her mail colleague, scott a, well, yeah, that who guzzle vicki? and so now women with lower grades might pass the admission test just because sponsor reserved for them. if you recall, manada and a man with a better grade might not get in. i'm glad we'll get on to the level credit that's based on the top brass in the department say that's not a worry. the quota sends a message,
5:47 pm
but skills and aptitude are what count. a female candidate will only get the job if she's just as qualified as a man. at today's meeting, the head of the catalog fire department has good news. i see on the last year, just one and 9 candidates was a woman this year. it's one out of 4 feet. oh good. well, it's just the answer is holger, the nominal daughter, napoleon was because we have a problem and we need to solve it limited. he didn't throw the if can finance guns . we can't wait for the free market to fix it, but he seemed, and 10 or 15 years will still have hardly any women in the fire department that was on the invoice. so we're trying to speed up the process. silly rattled, but officially they normally 150 that yeah, we bought a camera for our rights is the rallying cry at this training session. the women fire fighters of catalonia, take pride in their achievements,
5:48 pm
11 live them. and it doesn't matter if we're a man or a woman while we run toward the fire, when others are running away. gloria maria says it takes courage and passion to work as a fire fighter. and she's delighted that soon more women will be working at her side. and now to another. traditionally, male domain, the for log lab, newcastle, united had long languished, and the bottom of the english premier league. but in 2021. a. saudi arabian back, diego made newcastle the world's riches football club. overnight. some long time fans leg daniels fagen on celebrating dough. newcastle is now bankrolled by a saudi arabia, public investment fund. and daniel suspects that the saudis might have had other motives than purely a passion for the sport. ah,
5:49 pm
new castle is back, fans of the english football club, r, rediscovering their pride and the team for years newcastle united have been struggling. but that's all changed since the saudi consortium took over the club and shelled out some 300000000 euros to sign top talent. i would feel that would be way of all for us to long time, but now it's a, it's just an immense failure. we just want to see some trophy back here. let's over what it about right now. so be good. but not everyone's happy, including daniel spragons for 30 years, he was a regular at the stadium. now he just comes by for a quick look and then leaves as a sign, a protest i concert with and more inside the grounds it's, it's, it's disappoint at saud buddha. i feel i can't be there. i feel uncomfortable about yes, of our values. hundreds of other fans feel the same way. these days daniel
5:50 pm
watches matches at the local pub. in essence, the saudi state now holds the majority stake of his club. but i think once and of a country estates takes ownership of your close. you way, you've got to be open to how they behave and how that impact on, on you, and what it means. steel, city, saudi arabia's motives are after all, not just about the game. the desert nation has enormous oil wealth, but it draws criticism internationally for its human rights record, the saudi prime minister, crown prince mohammed bin solomon, has a reputation for ruthlessness. it said there is an evidence he ordered the murder of jamal kashodi, a critic of the regime. the crown prince denies the allegations, but they're bad for his image. that's just one of the reasons the saudi sovereign wealth fund bought new castles, beloved football club. the public investment fund has one mission to ensure saudi
5:51 pm
arabia's prosperity, the oil reserves will dry up at some point. the crown prince runs the font personally. journalist erin stokes has been observing how the new saudi owners have been burnished. their image rested money and the plan squads behind the scenes. i mean, even, you know, change the name of the boss to share a ball. was a big, big thing. put a hand in the pocket and really helps you know, the fonts food bank that donate at a 150000 a couple months ago. a fan zone will also be built next to the stadium. a move that one over many, a skeptic, a certain thing about it. so from the looked day reno with the schools and the housing fair that i will, i, and i think, you know, if you come back in 15 as time vis area i am much will be fully renovated and regenerate at new castle is an ideal location. the city desperately needs investment, especially in housing,
5:52 pm
and there's plenty of land for building and desirable areas. but getting hold of it is not so easy. didn't need to buy a football club to do that. there are appropriate channels through which to go. but of course, those channels are bureaucratic, they take a long period of time, it's much easier. he can say, hey, come to the game on saturday. it's a great welf building relationships. it's a great way of establishing a dialogue. it's a great way of influencing the benefits that come from owning a football club are also evident in manchester. man city is owned by the united arab emirates. they bought land from the city in a central location and built 1600 apartments. richard golding and his colleagues took a closer look at the deal. what they found shocked them. things that they released the quite low, right. so all in all that was lease for just from the 5000000 pounds. the city says it couldn't get a better price. the club owners will now pass it for years to come,
5:53 pm
or we estimate is around $10000000.00 pals here, and red is being paid to them, which is a big cash flow like a lot of investors really jump at the chance for them. so, owning a football club can open doors at home and even abroad. if the club is a winner. saudi arabians are in the business of financial, already can i can hear a return on investment, or maybe a political return on investment. daniel spragons is disappointed in his city. the way she sees it new castle has succumbed to saudi sports washing. oh, but he's not about to jump on that bandwagon. bring dancing is all about power or creativity and rhythm. this acrobatic dance was born in the 1970s on the streets of the bronx in new york city. but then no one would have ever guessed that these moves would one day become an olympic discipline. now
