4:32 am
average, but the property damage is often much higher. detail a 1000 the showed him all these criminals are extremely reckless and ruthless isn't before what's known in town. recently we had 11000 a t. m. and the state of north brian westphalia, within am, i am yada said we'll fight in the past 6 months. that's dropped to 9 and a half 1000 is the light went on as the as a will would easter that still quite a lot. it's a few at the and there in appealing target on it with all was one move to scott hobb. there were $500.00 atm robberies in germany last year. many of the gangs come from across the border, including the netherlands, the bungie, nails, hebberd or ulta, marta altima, the hood. the thanks in the netherlands have secured the atm has better. helmer pulls cockers, all that. another lens isn't as attractive at target. zine vale, alta martin, prefilled. but in germany though, there are lots of antioch and they're filled with lots of cal. the kensal was i

4:34 am
those a car with german license plates has caught their eye. the officers speed up to intercepted young. yes. ill told them over in another 600 meters on the a one time comes in. where are you going home? now and the officer searched the vehicle using a sniffer dog thing. one. the dogs are also trained to find explosives and the police do find something, but just cannabis seeds. anyhow, he got no trace of explosives or tools to robin atm or not my mind. in this game of cat and mouse, the police often arrived too late. there worried that one day an explosion will prove deadly lovable.
4:35 am
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. dip are forced to book were so scared. we sleep terribly. of course your business, we're not doing well enough for we're worried all the time here at night the slightest noise wake. the satin local and state officials are aware that people are worried if that with a shaft and luncheon hatch optician, german banking sector has pledge to the federal minister of the interior that they will better secure there. atems may i 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
4:36 am
find 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 reduce the number of atn bombings to appropriate preventative measures . ah, for now though, there's no end in sight. in given the rising number of atm robberies in germany. the next one is probably just hours away now than sweden is known for its herds 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 to luna
4:37 am
. it's none more city. these rare art methods are key competence and every ping from eagle batteries still mobile phones to wind turbines. the problem is that mining these deposits, what would the livelihood culture and heritage of reindeer herders lakes? yona 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 sunny the last indigenous people of europe. ah yonah, alas is sony. he's heading out to attend his herd, which rooms freely in the snow covered landscape. but this way of life is endangered for years. the reindeers habitat has been shrinking
4:38 am
long on, rolled on avi from re hold. this is our land and we work to land the clock. but the day when a large areas for our herds, it was not re intrusion here the situation gets worse. and despite laura polka down as dog, lexi 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. 2 yet there were, there was a muzzle, the reindeer were going the wrong direction. i give. i stood before we've sent them back on to the right track that proceed 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
4:39 am
digging deep into the frozen earth. they believe there's a huge deposit of valuable, rare earths under ground. sweeten helps to profit from the deposits and drive forward the green energy transition. the plan car beside it. 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. allah for her. like you, everyone around the world has to die the full shuttle from you. we have to stop admitting so much dear to hannah ford and we all have to make sacrifice was the beautiful thing. oh, the town of ketone and north of the arctic circle is at the center of sweden's mining industry. iron ore has been mind here for more than a 100 years. now the minds are slated to expand to extract the rare earth you shaft
4:40 am
to being drilled. 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, bibby to dal bag grew up in kiona. her former home now stands behind a construction fence. she had to move out a year ago. the mine operators have given her a new apartment. ornaments of the or has to come out. they're going to friendly than my ordinary people can't stop at that suit, thought. some you want to live here the way it looks now. anyway, v for scott would have to build a new kiona tide. every 2nd bro manage
4:41 am
and the battle is still sad to lose your own history. hard seen historically. 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 heard is also at risk and she believes it's not truly necessary. oh, it was the bird. yeah. um 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 on me for start me a medical law. yon as daughter also hopes to become a reindeer. heard her one day, the sammy passed down their knowledge through the generations. down our plans to
4:42 am
continue protesting the mine. to protect the sammy's way of life here in sweden sparren with blue. yes, rick bunch. i'm us off in skiing and from a free stop fighting restart, believing in the future, lumber, your little the ranger heard them at a lot of you to roast of each other, but we have to fight for that so that we can keep this going. i can look at the believe ah, when the snow melts, the herds will move high into the mountains, and yonah, alas, we'll 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 back might thorn change. catalonia the country is northeast, has decided that 40 percent of new recruits should be women. this for the off
4:43 am
a mixed brack best drill, withstood is quite an exception might soon become the norm. but the new initiative has certainly sparked a debate. some say, the kaplan government, i've gone a bit too far in the name of equality. others say it's high down for spain to step up and close this 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 began 9 am, have lengthy 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 bought out a set of them that are going to say, i was good and,
4:44 am
ah, for now though, women are still an exception. in the catalogue fire department, they make up less than 3 percent of the 4th awe. today, maria is training with female firefighters from the region in this drill, they have to rescue an injured driver using heavy equipment with high intensity work that takes a lot of skill. i think it is an ugly, a gay man by sienna. it is honestly, they are my now 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 s. solo. the catalog regional government has now introduced to quota to attract more women
4:45 am
to the fire department. need a happy to know from 40 percent of new vacancies are slated for female applicant rules. 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 i sent out on a key boy on the on teamwork is key to this job. the more 1st we ours and the more efficiently we will handle emergencies that scientifically proven later on. but every apple load is different for me. so will benefit from having people with a variety of talents. i got my food additive be put in to see about the their strength and 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 equality means. a hey, new zambrano of the civil servants union believes the quota overshoot,
4:46 am
its goal lateral. he had the negative matching that he can be able to, society should approach this more intelligently and left for talented people, whether they're men or women. think of settlement, it is key. so we need to change a way of thinking it was probably not a good doctor. and it doesn't matter, they're a man or a woman, they won't tell nobody. oh no, i need good firefighters, whether male or female, nobody own um, okay, are 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 on, like her male colleagues got a yellow guzzle vicky in delano women with lower grades might pass the admission test just because sponsor reserved for them if you will normally go much another and a man with a better grade might not get in and i'm glad we'll get on to the level korean desperate about to lose the top brass and the department say that's not a worry. the quota sends a message,
4:47 am
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 say last year just one and 9 candidates was a woman this year. it's one out of 4 feet by beach. ok. it is to set the answer to . so going to do nominal, the alter napoleon was the cause. we have a problem and we need to solve it lengthy. he didn't throw the disk in finance. currently can't wait for the free market to fix it, but he seemed in 10 or 15 years, we'll still have hardly any women in the fire department and i was on the invoice. so we're trying to speed up the process in adult put official, they normally thought, oh that, yeah, we bought a camera for our rights is the rallying cry at this training session. the women firefighters of catalonia, take pride in their achievements,
4:48 am
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 and go to. yeah. 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 football club, newcastle united, had long languished on the bottom of the english premier league, but in 2021. a saudi arabian back decor well made newcastle, the world's richest football club overnight. some long time fans leg daniels franken on celebrating bill 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,
4:49 am
new castle is back. fans of the english football club r, rediscovering their pride in 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 get the feel that would be way of offer to long time, but now it's a, it's just an immense failure. we just want to see some trophy vakio that's over. what about like, are we 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 of 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 a few uncomfortable. i suppose, yes, of our values. hundreds of other fans feel the same way. these days,
4:50 am
daniel watches matches at the local pub. in essence, the saudi state now holds the majority stake of his club. but i think one of the country estates takes ownership of your close because you where you've got to be open to how they behave and how that impact on, on you and what it means. feel sick, 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
4:51 am
arabia's prosperity, the oil reserves will dry up at some point. the crown prince runs the fond personally journalist aaron stokes has been observing how the new saudi owners have been burning. their image invested money in the plan squads behind the scenes. i mean, even, you know, change the name of the ball to sheer us ball was a big, big thing, put the hand in the pocket and really helps you know, the fonts fruit bunk 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 we know with the schools and the housing fair, that i will, i think, you know, if you come back in 15 as time vis area, i imagine will be fully renovated and regenerate at new castle is an ideal location . the city desperately needs investment, especially in housing,
4:52 am
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 and a central location and built 1600 apartments. richard golding and his colleagues took a closer look at the deal, what they found shocked than things that they released the quite low. right. so all in all that was leased for just from the 5000000 pounds. the city says it couldn't get a better price. the club owners will now profit for years to come and we estimate
4:53 am
is round time 1000000 pals here, and red is being paid to them, which is a big cash flow like a lot of investors were railey jump of the chance for them. so, owning a football club can open doors at home and even abroad if the club is a winner. ah, the saudi arabians are in the business of financial or economic in here, 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 borrow all 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
4:54 am
