crane literacies 5 is this on to the point we ask f 16. so you claim. why do the motto to the point? 60 minutes on d w. these places in europe are smash the record. step into a little bit, venture pizza, the treasure map for modern globetrotters, discover some of us record breaking site on google maps to. and now also in book form the hello and a welcome. i'm glad to have you with us. it's unimaginable the war and ukraine has been going on for 15 months. the russian invaders have most recently concentrated

their attacks on cities in the east of the country. today, the city of the world is almost nothing but rubble destroyed by bombs. and this once inhabited by more than 70000 people, the moot is not a ghost town. after a long time of high intensity fighting between russian and ukrainian force, the horse destruction is also visible in northern ukraine and the village of lucas shift where a russian soldiers were repels. a trail of wreckage has been left behind. the residents, however, are not letting the spirit or their coverage halter not just even of not the leasing the reconstruction or for a village, and she's receiving support from young ukrainians who are actually part of the tech no seed in tiff. but when ever they can spirit their, channeling their time and creativity into a new project of we booked the

hey good looking. this is not just the even openness kingdom. the 64 year old has lived in the village of lucas ship cut and northern ukraine. all her life, let's look at these beautiful legs all go cool. russian soldiers invaded the village at the beginning of march 2022. many people were killed. most buildings and cars were destroyed. as if by miracles, not just even opened his home. so it might be a tax, only the shed was hit by a tank shell, but she can't forget the technician or you, but of course i'm scared before i go to bed that i won't survive the night because something might come flying. yes, that of those that she lives with her 96 year old and don't forget to to today they're

expecting guests from a capital key to come in. my dear is come in these young volunteers come almost every weekend to help with the reconstruction of the village. and they sometimes bring food and drink with them 2 evenings like this. give not just even those. and i hope i wonder that 1st, where these angels came from they never used to be anything like this. nobody came to help us volunteers are especially welcoming the village because the state is not able to start with building private homes at this point. no,

i. ready no, the need for does eventually we stop leaving and good and don't try to help the people here after all the cruelty 5, it's then we will have lost all seriously. or the problem the next day they go off to the construction site. not just the even of not goes down to get more supplies from the seller during the russian occupation. that lasted 3 weeks. she had her children and grandchildren here, but they were caught, she says it plus that would lead to, to sit in the kneeling here. we on shirts from the broken windows. oh gosh. well, my grandchildren was my children of patrick dolly show c a party of cities that we are the russians cut the face of my oldest grandson, fema will know most of the stuff for were doing. and the next day they took him to

the church to be sure that this is but she says, i let him live because he was not yet 18. was not just not even know if not goes to church every saturday to pray for her relatives. the church of the ascension was almost completely destroyed by the attacks. finally, if not to the explosions were so loud, i found a nuclear bomb had hit us, boomed. this is where the russian occupier started. munition interrogated prisoners and shot people. the volunteer some keys. know how tough it was, and that's why they want to help. they build 6 houses since august.

the building material was donated by business partners and foundations experts telling them how to do the work they know that it could all be destroyed again if there were more attacks. similar pretty well, i'm still right now. most of we know that the war might last several more years. but if we have to rebuild everything, we will just, we have the experience now to raise the it's time for the helpers to head back to the keys, but not before but push can not just uh, give them a message, are pickles for their hard work. on protecting my dears, we have a good trip and call me as soon as we get the keys for you

and it's a dirty business working with the lives of wild animals again and again, protected and rare species like this all done are some of the illegally into other countries in suitcases or in containers and ships or airplanes, many animals perish and misery during the trip and only a few are discovered by customs officials. in all the con, the spain, those officers have to look especially close. spain has become a hotspot in europe for smugglers wildlife. the discovery so often the shocking and the smugglers, they usually once to bed off the inspectors. the heart is still in the wild with now can your lives in an enclosure spanish animal shelter there on a counter. the female clouded leopard is only 11 months old, which he has suffered greatly. caregiver, belly die is nursing her back to health. queen, outside of the yellow,

she was confiscated from a private owner who had neglected her. that meant she must have been poorly fed from the start. and she's even cons lines that the private breeder now has to face the authorities for violating the convention on international trade in endangered species. the east asian founded leopards is also an endangered species. so can you, is a rarity and was listed on the list here. it's some frustrating. normally these animals have very good eyes seem to those that we have to specially quit the enclosure with ramps because otherwise she couldn't find the different levels. the parents live in the trees, then the differences in height to develop properly. spain has become a gateway for a legally traded exotic species. the police often find them when inspect the ships arriving in a country from the nearby continent of africa. maria pay a ser,

works for a special environmental crime unit, passenger luggage here that the airports, she's found birds, snakes, and tortoises. for the kids so sad, the left side of it could be so ruthless, people have no chromos about tearing these animals from their habitat mental. no, not and treating them like twice when i say that i'm my being forwarded to this police video from september 2021 shows the liberation of a female temp on z who would be alone in the cage for 5 years. the illegal imports of protected animals are rising in 2022 smuggling into spain increased by more than half compared to the previous year. the service and the minnesota,

that organized criminals, are often behind it up to notify ability. think of something that you need contacts and the country of origin to find the animals and, and you do need a network in europe to import them and they will seal this as a highly profitable business being taken care of. but if a monkey, for example, it might cost $5.00 or 6 years in africa, and here it can fetch 2000 bureaus or more. he never, oh, includes so much. according to the world wildlife fund, this global business is worth a billions. sophia says the illegal animal trade comes 3rd after drugs and weapons. but its impact is underestimated. a she didn't and i think all the items that i think a little as arms trafficking and drug smuggling, or taken more seriously. more effort is put into enforcement. twilio on illegal animal trafficking is just a serious, but it doesn't seem to such. it's not pursued and prosecuted as often that makes

these crimes even more lucrative for the 30s are often overwhelmed and the fight against the exotic unable trade. this would cock, for instance, was probably trafficked from morocco to spain, but the smugglers were able to cover the trucks. well, the cell, i know i tend to look for yeah, the dealers are using new technologies, selling the animals on the internet on it. i say, well that service they avoid detection because they can hide behind anonymous network. so for the known, you, my bookkeeper, they know for fella, they even use the dark web guard with the authorities don't have enough specialists to investigate properly. and animals are often rescued when it's too late. as with kenya, the collaborative leverage, the physics that they lost, the yellow she's to use to people, and she's blind in the wild,

she would never be able to deal with her own species. she was raised in captivity, so she's condemned to a life in captivity and go through a list so. so with this illegal trade mix, can you and many other wild animals like current products that lose their freedom forever sweetens, despite as spartans, reputation, who brought kenneth's tech to be a dangerous place to live? the homicide rate has been rising for years and there's hardly another country in europe, whereas many people die in shootings that has a lot to do with gang related crimes. some of which can be seen firsthand on the outskirts of stuck home in poor residential areas such as ranking. this district is soon to be connected to neighboring irish week by a bridge that's causing us to gang wars and shooting. sup,

kept sweden on tenterhooks for years. the situation is getting increasingly, perusal. suburbs, which are predominantly home to migrants are often in focus. suburbs, like when people in the north of the capital, stockholm stuff on linz through them, has a plan for winky. bu, a bridge to better integrate the residents there. the urban planner commission, the structure, but the pedestrian and cycle bridge has divided opinion and stuff still to give you free on us. on the one side is rinky. bu, there are a lot of people there with micro backgrounds, with low income and a low level of education. so they always been on the other side as always, fixed. a well educated, middle class neighborhood the, the bridge was built to connect the 2 areas. so let's be alone, the one of the discounts that it was on the business man ali ad and supports it. he

thinks the bridge will help integrate his neighborhood to bring people into the city. he worries about the growing violence and says the stage must do more, bridges alone cannot resolve the situation that i'm interested in opening up. hardly any money is being invested in schools. instead of more and more being privatized, and the laws are to locks, young people know if they shoot someone before they're 18 the most they'll get is 2 or 3 years in prison. because it's a catastrophe. helped us through. excuse me, get this wrong to a young man suddenly interrupts our conversation and threatens out in but evan stands his ground in rinky boot. you have to earn your respect, he says, but he's naturally concerned about the increasing gun violence. in january, a boy was shot dead in this sushi bar in the south of stockholm. both shooter and victim were only 15. swedish police are alarmed by this development and

increasingly out of loss that we're dealing with younger and younger people. some are children as young as 13 or 14. so should we try to intervene by informing child welfare, contacting the parents for making home visits. you know to him this up to the other who, but at some point you can't reach these young people anymore and more in sort of pool of other kind of model to model. let me spend this, give me a deal. on the far right party, sweden, democrats is taking advantage of the violence by drumming up sentiment against sweden's migrant communities, lessening of what's on the the stuff on lind storms bridge is also in the firing line. the right wingers wanted torn down, they believe it will bring winkie booz criminality to or stick. we contacted the s b, but the party declined to comment. the skill they bought slogan demolishing the bridge

would be completely pointless. it would cost the taxpayer, the equivalent of $10000000.00 euros. that's madness. so let's get about bones seem to put themselves in or should make those little concerned that youth violence could spill over to them via the new bridge. most people are fairly relaxed about the dispute. sort of a lot, the mobility is the one that the, the expert, the issue has been blown out of proportion by tablets like express and here in this neighborhood, i haven't noticed much conflict at all. and before building the bridge, they set up a new police station and winky. bu since then it's been a lot quieter over there, with the stuff on lynn's to them is sure the bridge will have a positive effect. he hopes the uproar will die down once the bridge is finally finished. to fill a level, anybody else done this abuse told me it's just better for social cohesion of people from different backgrounds meet in everyday life. instead of having one district

for the poor, one for the middle class, and one for the rich city. that doesn't help anyone in so long as that goes. but in a few weeks, the bridge will open to the public. then many winkie, blue and or spect residents will meet for the 1st time at the ribbon cutting ceremony on the bridge. i will now introduce you to zuka kent from germany. she has parkinson's disease and incurable neurological disorder. many people who receive this diagnosis, withdrawal and become lowly, focused on the office and has even ventured into something new, table tennis. and she's so good. chanel plays in 20 minutes. when she's at the table, she almost forgets. she has parkinson's and like the many other patients who are trained with her surface, enjoying the health, just form of competition. the, the ping pong parkinson meet up in florida in the west of germany. every week 10

players with the disease meet here. while i, it's a ritual and deliberation from the daily parkinson's drugs where you're constantly reminded that you have difficulty moving. you entered this completely new world where everything else around you fates away. i love the candidates 56 and has had parkinson's disease for 10 years. with parkinson's, the brain can no longer control the body's movements while the body becomes slower . stiffer and un involuntary tremors. that's in there's no known cure, but exercise can help in taking doping. mean is crucial. that's a messenger substance for signals between the nerve cells in the brain. parkinson's patients produced too little of it. my name is i take my domain every 2 hours and that's very important because otherwise my energy runs out

a car can't run without fuel and i can't do anything without domain via can fall in tears for ping pong parkinson. she coordinates a huge network of training groups all around germany. now it's a lot of work. more and more people are joining, including in for that. oh, i know. so i put a teen is here for the 2nd time ping pong. parkinson was a tip from his neurologist. i think that's what it's all about. is that you don't think about the tremors anymore. sometimes i still shake even playing just now. but after the 2nd or 3rd game, it's gone, z is convinced that table tennis can slow down the progression of parkinson's. but it hasn't been scientifically recognized yet that the game can help with the brain physician almost to spend bases and time. you're constantly deciding how to receive the ball, how to play it back,

and where you want it to land. there's so many processes going on in the brain. lots of tiny thought processes. and i think that's good training because it keeps the brain in constant motion. the extension of the room with her weekly physio therapy appointment is all about the balance and posture of everything that gets tense and hunched up in the day, opened it up and up and up. this movement is very important for parkinson's patients. they need several units of movement a week to keep the bodies stimulated, and to delay the physical degeneration as long as possible. so i'm going to be hosted to even after 10 years with the disease. so it is constantly having to adapt to her parkinson's. small movements or difficult. this is coming for me into the feel like

a pilot in the plane where the plane is constantly drifting down or maybe up again . and i keep having to regain balance and keep the plane on course cekada to has. and he said, could god parkinson's at 46. unusually early for her. the diagnosis came out of the blue you have done caught them on early on. i had moments of sheer panic. i would think about the stairs in our house that i wouldn't be able to climb and that we have to prepare those with the kind of panic attacks. i had one of those bonds as you panic, are talking to each become very cuz husbands to stuff usually keeps as calm when it comes to parkinson's. sake has been married to him for nearly 30 years. they have 2 grown up children. i exclaimed, good friends will be delivered. busy everyone has limitations as they get older d on you stuck with on 10 years older than her. and i'm noticing that i can do less here and there young damage to you. of course, there might be a wheelchair at some point on, but it might be me who needs

a wheelchair. you never know my students, let's say, who ends up pushing. who if i was counting on my wife, pushing me to get your bets in now. but 1st, it's back to the ping pong table for zeta. this time at the tournament in vice versa. all the way in the midst of germany took a place at every competition. that's quite nice. it shows me time and again that despite the disease, anything is possible and you can achieve top performances. of course everything has to be just right and sometimes parking since gets in the way. but you have to learn to live with that. not get frustrated and keep going. in spite of it, a lot of the players bring their families along to the tournaments here in the sports. all it's all about community benefits, kind of contest. i didn't have this disease, i wouldn't have experienced all of this. this sense of community and all these

vehicles of these are real every day heroes. they can deal with their fate and still be happy. they're all role models for me. the ping pong parkinson has given to get and many others here, a new lease on life. a way to win the small bottles in the war against an incurable disease. imagine king charles and his wife camilla taking their cup of tea yet. oh no. the tea might come from anywhere, but the cups they're most lucky from hungary, they haven't porcelain manufactory is a top european address for hand. painted the table with wireless celebrities and the rich and the same as love these precious hungry irene goods. and the cost is so sought after the people at harrow and half their hands full with a hand as steady as a heart surgeons. every brush movement is

we have our own school or be trained or the next generation one. they spend months painting this to service for king charles the 3rd one, cup cost 426 years since then i'm so that i really liked the pattern for king charles if he can afford it. i'm sure it's wonderful to eat and drink with his table where there's a dash to show you because that the lady died like the bird with the golden chain, the rough child pattern. and apparently arnold schwartzenegger has this funny we also visited low meyer in vienna. one of your best known table where stores sets like these are popular wedding guests for young people says the manager they to appreciate hand painted wears. yeah. last on the on the always just have a different radiance to group is and that's where the highly cherished at the moment to shifts because of this and digitized squirrels. we also want something physical to hold whether it's an everyday item from your subjects or
