the, with the business beyond the highly toxic asbestos, it's been banned for decades in many countries. damage cost to people in the environment is catastrophic. which take more than a 100 years to completely dispose of all this best. those containers, you know the never ending story of asbestos starts june 21st on dw, the good peaceful as it appears. both of us sits right next door to ukraine and the searing, devastating conflict with no end in sight. since february last year,

the country of just 2 and a half 1000000 has been on the state of emergency wherever the fighting might spread to its own territory. by accident or design. from now the use border agency from tex offers of symbolic show of outside support. moldova is hoping for much more. this is the border crossing point from moldova into ukraine, and there is fighting the current moment between ukraine and russia is roughly a 100 kilometers away. the. the big question dominates here is where the moldova is mr. putins next target. comfort zone has come here to gauge the level of concern good

in the southeast of the country, moldova shares a 200 kilometer stretch of the denise, the river with ukraine, the re no longer just the port out for the dividing line between war and peace. rushing most files targeting ukraine of flooding over moldova. but to those border patrols of watching mofas's smugglers and people traffic does have a sound. the police say they're ready to fight for their country. whoever threatens them, however, launch the force and for as long as it takes you living next to to huge was do you think you'll ever see peace in this region? the game in the last time? i hope so. but you're not sure. i think at this stage no one can before of that, but i think everyone wants to to see piece,

especially given the fact that as many others i'm a parent then the last think a one that's my child. he is more especially close. so i hold that soon, that will be piece so saw the threat to moldova has appeared not from outside with in the anti government demonstrations in the capital titian now alongside them a constant stream of cyber attacks. this information on the bottom hopes is for the rest of the thirties and put them on the defensive rushes hands they say is behind . it will what we do to happen for russia to decide the coming across your board in force. and we'll take control here in moldova, a model of us decision to walk along. they are paying the vendors pass and be a member of the democratic humphrey world. that's exactly already the reason why

russia so aggressive here in this region. and they come for now do it if they manage to change the government by radical icing, the population. that would mean that they can put the various scenarios in motion. that would mean that they can provoke rand, including opening the front front. that would mean that they could access the blackfoot lexis with a new bed and the impress, including the trades, who have different uh, quite the advantage of submitted the position stuff, nance, proximity with maple troops, and much, much, much more. let's give some extra power negotiations. when buffalo, so i'm going to say brussels, i mean all the capital for you. that means that and gaining control and they don't need extra. a reason. ready that's may be true, but for president my assembled in office since 2020 the prospect of direct russian intervention has already come too close for comfort. earlier this year,

you accuse the russians of attempting a qu data against you, a government. how close did you come to being toppled? we a much stronger this year than last year, for instance, when, when the, the world ukraine started always to, if you should so much stronger and we have proof that i always, that you should have been able to prevent pressure from implementing its scenario. it doesn't mean that these attempts will not continue from how best to become. it was to me, i was being you. a visa juice's was strong enough. and restless plan proved to be not the least sticky notes because especially i believed that we were weak. because that's what pressure one small dog or 2 to be wants to be a weak institution or a week's they would week institutions. we with close, but our institutions managed to put it in this scenario. how do we have to stay 1000 way? well, i'm not 2 hours away but weeks in which

a restaurant was planning to, to undertake this offense of uh, over throwing the government together with the criminal groups together with the corruption groups lead my some hold of it. but again, a face to the fact that we knew about these plans and thanks to the fact that the institutions managed to do yet quickly. and there were vigilance enough this, this was not, this hasn't happened. do you feel personally on the threat from nation but uh, you know that a 6 when you come to a position like being the president of a country that i got there was a wreck to the to i from i do feel safe because i have a team here which protects you of talked about the a hybrid wolf that um most go has apparently distributed large sums of money to all

the galks in moldova, essentially to cause trouble. you would seem to have very powerful enemies here to know who they will. uh, are we talking about a 5th column against you in this country? it's a combination um we have quality issues and people who have been receiving money from russia for years to undermine o. s. h to build a strong state and the republic of minova, maurice simply some of the cut off groups which before didn't have a dual political color. no joined russia. and it's attends to this the boys, the country. because the interest of the cut up groups are to keep them on the integrate area to have weak institution so that they could continue to still. and they would not be put in place. and they would not respond for the abuses that they've committed to in the past. so you have a combination of efforts, no,

of those people who have been working for a shift for many years, who have been paid busha to, to work against the mother and state. and now the, the cut up groups which southern lady allies that they share the same objective regression to make this country weak. and, and to benefit from that in june, the 1st and dozens of european leaders were on parade in mode of his capital. a dazzling unity displayed by the continents most important politicians, armed with a possible promise of support and the fervent hope that's what happened in ukraine . what would happen here? commission president, the us, you know, from the line, praise moldova, for embodying what she called, your core values. that is funny, which you showed to was the ukranian refugees. resilience which you show to rush as a relax mailer and unity,

which you showed to link your destiny to the europe. it was very moving to see a see of europe in flat here, in case you now streets last week. and my message to the people of most of the is that we stand by you, we support you every step of the way on your past due to your opinions. and today i'm glad to announce a new support package for mold along with a double checked. we want to support you to address the impact of the war and your doorstep. and we want to bring you closer to your opinion. you said recently, we believe we can say about democracy only as part of the e u. 0. democracy that furniture to go into the political

situation shows to us that ratio continued to be a big source of instability. so years to come. and actually it has been posing flats to our democracy. and that's why we believe that our democracy will be safer within the you. we value democracy. we've been fighting hard to protect our democratic institutions. and so, since this is especially to consolidate them, but we see that external times it's can have significant implications, especially on the small country, like you comforted by the fact that some of the european leaders decided to come here. we honored and we see this as a strong signal of support and you want more than a strong signal of support. you want more than moral support. don't you want actual support. we have been benefiting from support with enough promising you anything. uh, we have the candidate status now, and this is extremely important to us to us. this is the life of the end of the

tunnel we have been benefiting from supports. now that we have to deal with the energy crisis with economic implications of the word and ukraine with that as a g crisis. yes, we do need support, but we have a strong determination here inside the country to make the integration of possible and prevent you becoming pollutants. next target we do need to be part of the you family, to feel safe. are you afraid of being his next target? we do see what actually is being to ukraine and that is to be concerned. of course, you suggested most of it might become a full member of the you by 2030, but you could well be out of power by that new party has been posting in the low twenty's for some of this year. isn't that a why wouldn't that be a huge stumbling book to the you? if you've got voted out of office, we made the commitment to v that'd be by 2030 for the you members sheets.

and we showed on may 21st a few days ago that he's popular support when the citizens of one of those i came to case, you know, came into the street. we have the polling. we have the pulse would show that more than 60 percent of mobile and support the u. accession plan and will continue to work to make sure that the russian for background. and it's this information does not reduce the popular support form for the you integration. but this is an objective which is supported by the majority of the there is no better place to test the public support. and then one of the capitals main markets where day to day concerns. clearly trump any distance dreams,

d u membership, top of the list, poverty, unemployment, and rising prices. and the, unless the government can turn around the economy, it may not be in tall long enough to steer the country all the way to brussels. a journey with no clear time table stretching perhaps many years into the future business says larissa thought a lot of this is just so frustrating, you know. didn't know what your new foot so i thought i knew more good possibility cbs what? thank you for the patience the show me and then it was ok to know what the show is. oh my no. okay. new and i see it and i see everything about the distortion. you see what the story is? the boys on a 2nd got to middle work, but it's still, it's

a challenge, opinion of usage of skaters. him and you've suggested the story here. but the more you said is the way you might be smear for some sort of bites. you know, so particularly in just a few minutes or so to see him was it's not by that normal done. yeah, there's going to be through misleading people. scribe the most of the chemical dogs on the would you imagine seeing, we've tried to do this, but i'm almost a farmer who is the proper who really to name is to search the vehicle the motor so that i bought the 11th the to me. e waste cookie is the good,

is there any, is go out with them. uh, this is if you want to click on this site, it will solutions have on you or your board agree and you know your time. so the guy who put in the b is assuming, is what we need to be in the museum in the presume. so let me get this, you, i'll come when i know even what other books to me you can get into the, the virginia to move in about 3 minutes of the glue. unless you had a video for someone to do solutions, lee, which in, you know, perhaps the most close example across the most part lived here was this much quicker good. despite some good feelings towards russia, the old communist pests and statues in moldova don't attract much interest these

days. but even after nearly a year and a half of war and ukraine, pro moscow, politicians form and active, highly motivated opposition block. but could we gain power? if things go badly for the current government, one of them is the form i promised go president z go those on who comes put in a patriot and says he'd restore a cost to ship with russia. if you go back into the pilot, we ask for an interview. he made 2 appointments. posts were cancelled. a year ago, prosecutors jobs came with an array of crimes including treason, financial irregularities, and abusive office. using assistive, he's innocent. why that delay and bring him to trial. he says it's political persecution. here's a point. well, let's see. he was supported by your criminal in years and level

his fingers that has been openly prefab, supported by the criminal m. here in cation on the republican smelled over. he was promoted off the russian federation of interest as he was feeding us, supporting the autographs. he was doing businesses with them. he was directing the policy is intended that action that to facilitate them the allowed to sit and go for billions from the people that knows, draining the budget. that means impediments in the implementation of important development programs that will only benefit the the people you see, the kind of this has been proved in the course of the floor. he remains innocent until he's post guilty to of course, of course. so how long, how long is this going to go on? these charges hanging over his head. don't people have a right to timely justice? timely for 5 to yes. hear them that if i'm to go from old over we had the only

propaganda and infusion of a feeling of incapacity, total dependence of but ashes wheels and restaurants policies. we have to let them once again to leave our country, the 50 kilometers outside the capital. there's another opposition stronghold. it's dedicated to upsetting the government's learning program and teaching it in the next elections do within 2 years. it's the city of all. hey, i went to the pro must go sure potty, which is clearly invested heavily to give the people well fun. the day we visited, my dozens were arriving by the coach though at the local federal government party assured me on the minus i did

receive on those these products. okay. learn from you guys then. no big of but i believe we do. one is zillow, luna, mutual shows and us fuel costs even when us go to record it. nor do you know, i give you a disability single human that says this from my assigned to way we can potentially misuse my sound. sure. no good. go. yeah, yeah. order, hey, so what you gave, i will let you know cuz zillow. yeah. with a full glass search key of a party to come from the one that i will really woke up cuz its that's, i mean you its entire thing because you are the so you you can work the streets, day and night here in all hey,

but you won't find the man who sets up the show a party, you land. sure. he fled the country after being convicted for his boss and a massive bank for sure. it doesn't give many interviews, but we managed to contact him on line that his current location in israel, where he told us he was innocent, his trial of being rate. and the real face was the president's my assigned on russia though not a word of purchases. got in store right now, could i didn't you? i'm huge of us because that's a volume that's pretty crazy. sometimes you gave me 0 you. oh yeah. yeah. i mean 0 . you'll do you good for that? yeah. but did you need? yes, yes i do just you need to use the dc my button. you that i never got the desktop. go to it, but z as a government that if you complete the yeah, good to list of them all the up. what shot? good luck go when you get this. not to go. yeah, that's a whole lot still,

but with god we don't because it. yeah, yeah. you live but you're not going to do it from your business, but you move muskrat, westbrook, new me. yeah. you might have seen yeah. you sure. what's the, what's good that's going to be on the do you know, do you me, i knew that those that he did. it was me. yeah. i need to have someone on it and you were able to put the even the desktop or just score kind of what he meant by seemed the source of goods. and would you go to, is that for them was supposed to come up with a case in the court. welcome or whatever the political battles in moldova, it's the war the dominates, the government's thinking. the ministers know that for now they survive only because the ukrainians of keeping russia

the and if you pay lose this and if they lose, you lose to we all are those sir your process? it's not about that public off on the own. do you believe that you took but you kind of them to go? do you believe that you kind can win back overland? but russia has occupied, as it wants to even look at the war from right next door to ukraine, back to feel should be helped. should get all the support to, to gain it's 30 thought is otherwise, we sleep in a world where countries born those funnelled respected anymore. and this is not the world anyone wants to live in the prospect scale. the fact that innocent people are being killed every days you claim this is something that's case

have anybody. and so that's why we need to help you claim and we need to make sure that such things don't happen anymore. you don't believe to you that this is a one off of the venture for the criminal, and you think russia will remain the threat for years to come? yes, that's what i believe. and that's right, and that's why the truth threat. and that's why accountability is very important. what you see is president putin's and game just a large thing better. that that's, that's what the union's probably. so the union or even more. but it's clear that the system between large, the country, which is big enough to what kind of basis will it be in the future for west nations with russia. what, what come that'd be under those circumstances? the democratic world and, and the entire war means to make sure that if i should respect the territorial

integrity of the countries, the other you've said yourself, we remain a threat to mold over, at least while we're at democracy. so that's right, we'll continue. i shall continue to be a big source of instability for years to come. that's why the content on needs to stay together and that's why the democratic world needs to work together and just help all the countries like mendoza, which ones the democracy to survive for us. the easiest way to uh, closer the dates all the democracy and to preserve is, is, is to be part of the. but that still doesn't give us a way of living with this kind of rush at this with bunches throughout the city school still going to be the that's why accountability is very important and restaurant should be punished for what it is doing. now. anything the,
