queen elizabeth the 2nd. it's an occasion charles has been preparing for his whole life, and the stakes are high both for the king and his wife, camilla. series of scandals and public quarrels have placed the royal family under intense scrutiny. now the king is under pressure to preserve the future of the monarchy and the united kingdom. well, this crown is the centerpiece of the coronation and a symbol of the monarchy. it's made from solid gold and is set with hundreds of precious stones and pearls, dazzling to some, but to others. it's a spectacle. they would rather not witness. british republicans, including ben clinton, want to abolish the monarchy altogether. unthinkable for supporters of the royal family who are in the planning stages of their own coronation parties. for them, it's a chance to witness history. and the 1st such ceremony in 70 years marching into a new era, the coronation of king charles,

the festivities are of plenty and not just in front of buckingham palace, all over the country. the crown subjects are preparing for their new king, boyne valley road and maidenhead. a small town in the south of the u. k is no exception. the queen was a wonderful role model. oh i think charles will will be you. good as well. yeah. do it, everything is in honor of the big day. the resident sir, closing off the whole street, the party committee has their work cut out. ah, it's bank, it's a big celebration i we're looking forward to it. but not all britons are so enthusiastic. republicans, ben clinton and david mcalpine, our up in ours. a change is long overdue. they say

why should we not have the chance to vote for and had of sight? why should we have to pick up a family? it's been on elected that no one can aspire to be had to stay in this country. no young person can look up and think how about student. although in my class gone, i want to make high go to improve people's lives. it goes against every democratic norm and not only that, the monarchy is expensive, republicans argue, and investigation by a british newspaper, estimated the king's personal fortune at nearly $2000000000.00 pounds. partly reasonable at a time when some britons can barely feed their families, they say my lord gravely si, fi, this enormous privilege and honor and wealth position. i think the term that generally it reinforces the whole class system. you know, it's like the a says of class in this country, which is a severe issue. and so no one can really get to the tall charles, the 3rd,

unlike his late mother, is drawing protests at his public appearances. but despite the odd egg flying his way, he seemed unfazed by the negative attention walking nonchalantly past demonstrations like this one in the north of england. the slogan, not my king. younger britons in particular are increasingly skeptical of the royals, according to polls. hundreds, guy ready, bodies, coronation protests were hoping to grow by, you know, putting a lie on some of the, you know, very unjust things. and we'll finally been doing in, well that i'll see, decade is not just the last year. i think this was a really great opportunity for us to, you know, so i'll message should aloud. but back in boeing valley road, the republicans message goes unheard. the children color in the kings carriage and

other royal motifs. while the adults prepare for the festivities, i replied, gone, are going to serve with afternoon tea, where to place the union jacks. the party planters agree 74 year old. charles is the ideal head of state the on the so the problems with the country house on the undersized, the strand, the country house, because fits is always had him on kate's a, his j. it's as part of the structure of the, of you not to kentucky, not to have it. i think would be quite detrimental for the country that my attention was you rhonda? well, don't think, you know, if he did stepped on among keystone, charles camilla and the royal family are still popular in britain, drawing much admiration for their royal splendor. they will continue to represent the country internationally at least for the time being. because

young britons are becoming increasingly uncomfortable with the traditions, the centuries old form of government and the monarchy it's crop planting. season for farmers and telling machines are digging up the fields in order to prepare the soil. but in ukraine, one of the world's top grain producers, air rating, the earth comes with great risk or less german fears for his life. when he sets foot on his fields. fighting is ongoing. in ukraine's eastern frond, though in the region of harkins, ukrainian troops were able to push back russian forces and hold on the territory. but the war and destruction has turned many fields there into death traps for ukraine's farmers. ah, now that spring has arrived, go look here man should be telling his fields, but he can't. russian forces may have withdrawn from the harkey of region,

but they left explosive souvenirs behind for the ukrainian farmers. what the bank was, are you of the russian position was over there? i mean, they mind everything in front of it. we'll see if i got that off my, these are my fields. well, who knows what's lying there? more look of the honda with to plow this soil and planted with heavy seed drills would be downright suicidal for oh, like here, man. i mean all it's up to me that looks like an anti tank mine when i was told it was lying close by and probably rigged up with some kind of trap for you. after the heavy fighting that took place in the harkey of region, the countryside is regarded as 100 percent contaminated with mines and unexploded devices. and they're not hard to find. this is one end of a russian smidge missile. it contains the thruster. no one knows what else might be buried here, all like him and sees his entire livelihood threatened before the war broke out,

he had 30 employees since then, he says he's lost half a 1000000 euros. he's one of thousands of farmers suffering the same fate in ukraine, once known as europe spread, basket all do it's very painful. it would've been so as what i've heard from other farmers. what if we were all big, some farms had been completely destroyed. now ukraine is thought to have the highest density of land mines of any country on earth, national and international organizations like britons, halo trust or on site, trying to clear and diffuse the minds on the personal minds with pressure blades on the personal mind. bonding fragmentation ah mines grenades on trip wires,

and we are finding all sorts of a cluster munition used in ukraine on the vehicle lines in plastic and metal cases . experts say that 30 to 40 percent of ukraine's entire surface area will have to be swept before being open to the public. we have people that are not being able to walk on their own land, on their own yards, co for picnic or walk freely. because of the mines in the other, handly conte cultivate of their land and which is like the most cases the 1st, the source of income for the family. although scenarios can be infer structure areas that are again contaminated just in ukraine. we are seeing the, the number of accidents increasing, but many farmers have to take the chance in order to survive in some regions. they are risking their very lives by tilling the soil. so the super shrapnel here here

and here would. ready lower the like, it'll take a long time to get it all out. yeah. and it's like, it's like a gaping wound. not many metal splinters, mostly plastic and rubber. arena. now it's bearable. never mind, but the 1st day it was no fun at all. who you are, he drove over a land mine with his tractor. he's lucky to be alive. but he won't give up. even if he has to clear the mines himself, rob wilson, he shows us some military equipment he found in the field. near fog. yes. better with the way i see it. i'm not the 1st no poker, and i won't be the last in ukraine to get blown up to utilize all it here man is also considering clearing his fields himself to save his farm

yard builders for you. i. busy sure, none the for more if they don't help hon then when the 2nd year comes around the new, the new, more records when people can't work and they don't get help removing some leave and won't come back with, we're sure it'll be very hard to restore all this so if we don't do it now, do you wash school next shirts. elizabeth is out of he is worried that this growing season will make or break the future for him and his farm. sweden is well known for its position as a politically neutral state, but russia's invasion of ukraine has led to some swedes. questioning this longstanding policy. now the northern europeans are breaking with the status quo and are seeking protection from nato. the defense alliance of european and north american nations. sweden is keen to be admitted into the alliance as soon as

possible, due to its close proximity to russia. stockholm has just expelled a several russian diplomats for allegedly threatening states security as relations between the 2 nations sour. well for young soldiers like philip up the war and ukraine has changed everything and military training exercises have taken on a new found urgency and importance. didn't tell you that voluntary about a 100 meters from here who no matter what aim for that area and moved out of the enemy line a somewhere in this forest intelligence has res vilify, and her group could enemy forces are close by we've been given permission to accompany the swedish military unit on an exercise, but are asked to avoid using last names. the 20 year old conscripts signed up for military service before russia's invasion of ukraine. the war changed everything

for the young soldier. we also did it, so when, initially the military service was more something that was just fine, it, well the getting to the sports meet new people visiting with you, man that but for myself and many others, it's much more real noun as of the situation out there is heating up in the mit is valeca game of oliver. an enemy unit has been spotted in the woodlands north, it's not home. the unit trains with blinks. but what happens when the rounds are live and stirred? the worn ukraine is on all the conscripts. mine's lisa tick yet my because i'm feel better talking about it made as i'm like, but there are others who don't talk about it at all because they can't deal with it . you'll be more fish. i don't think about it anymore. that's what keeps me functioning. what it really scares me, but apps for neil ask it even though i'm there with war having become a reality in europe once more sweden is preparing for the worst case scenario.

unlike neighbor finland, they had suspended the military draft here for several years. now there are proposals to double the number of conscripts tanks rolled on to the baltic island of god than last year. usually a favorite among swedish vacationers. the ones demilitarize island is now hosting forces once again strategic positions in the baltic, sea region, mich, sweden and finland, especially interesting for nato, says finish security expert men, ollander exempt. and at that, i've alvarado and finish and sweeter succession means what we call the correlation of forces is changing and the region on data on and on, lisa, changing in favor of nato who was not done. and previously russia had something of a free pass to disrupt the nordic and baltic countries that well to apply pressure on them like that was, it was owned at home that sweden has long prided itself or not officially taking part in any military alliance during the cold war prime minister,

olaf palmer champion, peace and understanding, and shape the image of sweden as a respected moral authority. palmer's former comrades in arms can no longer believe their eyes. a majority in the country now supports nato membership. your on greater editor in chief of the social democratic newspaper adela democrat, and believes that the application to join was a mistake your to other than it though the world needs states that do not belong to any military block her? no. because what we're seeing in the west, if you, for this enormous arm spilled up rose thing, the war there not go on for 50 years, he got a family at some point, it must come to an end for that, the will, the, when that happens family, we need non align states like what sweden used to be. are you over the, in the back in the forest, the soldiers prepare for the next skirmish, philippa and her unit catch their breath. joining naida would offer sweden support

from the alliance. but what the soldiers here know is they must offend others and return monday without her. of course, we would prefer not to worry about this, but i do, and it weighs on me because you'll be that the think that the hope that the guy that the summer philippa will have completed her basic training after which she will leave the military. the decision she says was made independently of the war and ukraine. many brides want to stand out on their wedding day, but a look such as this is truly unique in europe. the right to do or a is taking part in a centuries old tradition. she belongs to the muslim minority of the po, max, the ethnic minority have managed to preserve their culture despite the period of oppression during bulgarian communist regime. our reporter attended the wedding and about the areas southern rideau p. mountains. there in the secluded village of red
