as a teenager in this country, like to keep taking on the powers that be the risk, everything turned into our needs. activists, journalists, and politicians living in exile the way to which they move for their mission. what drives them to be nice to know what is happening that our series guardians of truth watch now on youtube dw documentary, the hello and welcome to focus on your up. it's good to have you with that ukraine has been fighting all for us. she has invasion for more than $450.00 days in the doughnuts. region ukrainian troops appear to have launched

a grand total offensive images from the country, testified dramatic developments of the ongoing conflict and southern ukraine near cache on a major dom has been destroyed. and neither are controlled by that you gave us accusing moscow while the kremlin save ukraine is responsible, up to $80000.00 villages are set to be address of flooding and the eastern doughnuts. these are you printing names to have captured some occupied territory which russia into and denies for the moment. these competing claims can not be independently gratified to now, for soldiers on the front lines every day brings the risk of injury and death. they don't or that off that phone rates. it's an experience that leave it's mock, perhaps even more so for the youngest troops like 20 or audio create and soldier u haul or, or the meeks who has been fighting since false days of the war. we met him at the

front line in the end by the gwinnett region in the trenches there. the enemy is often just a stone's throw away. and this is where your heart is determined to continue fighting, even as he is recovering from a serious injury. flashing in the trenches is tough and many the scouts of war an explosion took off part of your whole linux leg. and yet he's now back with his old unit getting ready to fight again, feeling so running high on his return. and what does the scarlet o strong emotions, you know? well, the land goes through the roof, of course, at the sweep. once it gets lost, i used to my anger so that i didn't turn in all my brothers. uh, i went out and i shot back and then things quieted down again and i relax to the football in the lobby. so yeah, who is a korea soldier? he joined when he was 18 initially the artillery before like to find him on the

front line. once the since i'm moving to the on september 29th, we took the position so that able that these were all our trophies sites and the night vision goggles pistols is just from one captured position. so take it, take a look. what was the questionable up? was this or a little bit, but there's some destroyed equipment there too long. it's just because the emotions were running high full of bankruptcy. so if there were even automatic weapons, so many truthfully impossible that they left everything behind. people have come off that one of them can all, if so, so will you please, as you saw, months ago, but the most interesting thing is down there in the trench, a russian liberator with using the mission changed his life once a year on his team cap, should have russian position as he went to check on the area, he stepped on a mine. he was overcome with fear that he might be captured. my husband was

also with on sunday, by some of the movies i immediately gave myself. first aid of men just lay down all 14 stuck on which caused at the sphere set in. and i was going to shoot myself on the band booming, but then i thought about my parents, even with people finding the people to have. and i thought it's just the legs on the knee is there. i can walk one year old. it's more of it was bloom up. sometimes system puts in, swells out, which is frustrating for him. but the whole says he doesn't see himself as an invalid. he's wanting to accept his new situation was coming up of couple. you see i had to tell to here that cut off my leg just above the like on the over the box. i was wounded in this leg as well. my shopping online incident. i thought, well, what you put in 3 fragments hit the bone here and these places yourself

a lot of difficulty. a school couple up all but to get back to work as an infantry soldier, his legs needed to work to your house as his doctors would not happy with his decision to go back to the front line. and his family and girlfriend was fiercely opposed to and my parents. oh, so the know actually my relatives generally, you know, wait a minute. absolutely. every one was against a simple my girlfriend was to pick up from there. but i said, i am going to have a duty to my country to defend themselves because you claim needs me. yeah, sure, sure. when i was on vacation, the way former friends were just sitting at home, drinking and hanging out. so you go last name, who is it was the guy who knows. yeah. who has already been back to the front line, but flashing is more difficult than before. it has to move quickly through mode and climb over obstacles. but the whole city's comrades help him and his command is

glad to have him back. to satisfy this, it is available with me and everything is decided by the medical commission. but he has hurt you. if a finer wants to return, we don't object to not familiar with the heart, believe me, everyone is proud that he didn't lose heart. logistics knew that he's doing well and asked for his position back and it was easy process, so who there are no complaints. i've known him since august. yeah, it was so he's a wonderful fighter to, but there are no official numbers, but yet who is not the only m p t to return to the front? the last few months change to him. he says, this, the lowest of where you realize that little more anger surfaced in me, me. so the desire for revenge table's 50 and it is important to return something available in the office. and my personal opinion is that after you recover, you need to come back to show them that you can do more, that you will survive at all that you will succeed. this is what they said we,

the officer we left jo except as an invitation to know when he finished the treatment he's planning to return soon to take on the russians with the brand new prosthesis to the front lines shift and ukraine quiet. this ends on what only days before was about to feed what is left behind as often land littered with mines, unexploded bombs, and the bodies of military casualties. though there are no reliable fig goes or did estimated that many tens of thousands of soldiers, both ukrainian and russian have already lost their lives and showed him that the dead on not forgotten is the job of me. hi, lo and who special unit the guy, the out search and recovery mission's for the training forces so that the dead can receive a dignified buddy. a calm has returned to this rural part of the hockey

region. it's mainly farmland, surrounded by nature results. but a few months ago there was heavy fighting here. there was some official for the scary to see what happened here is no, you got the ticket. go see, i don't know what kind of mental state people are in after experiencing this. just as being, it makes you waiting within the 10s of thousands of dead bodies, least at the battle fields. it's not possible to remove the mo, the high level command with the ukrainian army knows the best of the most. he and his team have the green task of collecting the dead, but ukrainian and russian look for you to receive. the bodies of russian soldiers are also valuable to us because we can swap them for ukrainians. it's for the ukrainian comb rights that they're doing this. they want all those defending their homeland to know that the full them are important fit the memories on it. so

they've been take, they work very seriously. today they're searching for funds that they come rates a low facility from was analyzed all the information where they were attacked from and how they pulled back. and those that we should see. there's now only one area here where they could be there when the motor facility for this tool is that a switch the risk in their own lives to do this? the entire area is mind. the search is partly carried out by a drunk potter to reduce the risk. but with this sort of a dip is will triple. but my job is to fly the drone over the area and to watch from above. the search for human remains in the fields. and for any expose minds i might be in the field and visible from above mean is also moving when he scans the ground mesa by mesa. and once he's comrades of any threats, they work all day. but in this state they find nothing. f, as in a russian reconnaissance drawn some russian weaponry. and a lot of admission. 5 ukrainian soldiers remained missing

weary. the men returned to the quote is still processing the events of the day. and that's the, it's the not knowing. it's hard to explain, but it's also difficult for us. right. and that's the situation right now. there's a twin family members don't know what happened to their sons, their parents. that's the worst and the but the key to the huge system of with last the evening, they get a call from the man of zone has come a village, not far from here. the bodies of dead russian soldiers have been found on the edge of the village from them. the next day they go to meet them at you the door shanker leads them to the place with the bodies, all know it, and then all in tears were driving by and wanted to check out the rubber tires over there. so they went over on foot and discovered the 2 bodies nicely to the soldiers

quickly get down to work. my face requote, everything, exactly 6 of this was exploding every case. so it's always the details that are important of its ability. truth, we do everything according to internationally agreed procedures or procedures enshrined in law. and we do it with respect about the professional and the system with a supervisor. even when they're dealing with enemy soldiers, it's important to everyone here to respect the data. they also have to be especially careful this area too, was heavily mind. and someone still haven't been cleared. yes. the main site, it's also not uncommon for russians to high booby trapped onto the bodies if they did come right. so they 1st attached groups to the remains of the russian soldiers knew them carefully. why pretend on this occasion, there were no explosive devices. the soldiers prepared the body bags. before

closing them, they examined the pockets of the dead, documenting everything to check the other pocket. there's a light, all right. the men find lodges and cigarettes, but initially nothing that reveals the soul does identity. then suddenly they find what they are looking for. good, we needed that. it's an identification tag for one of the soldiers. like did they find bank cards to full clues that will hoping to identify the dead? the bags and the bodies will not stay in ukraine for long. the going policies regularly exchange stated, the main hope that these 2 russians can be exchanged for 2 was they did comb rates, who can then have a dignified burial above all. so the families will have closure of

france, meanwhile, is digging through the streets over its recent pension, overhauled its main provision. increase the countries retirement a from 62 to 64, a move that is widely unpopular, even though in most countries in europe, people have to walk much longer than this. but functional medium boss believes that the reforms are the only way to plot a widening pension deficit. others, like melanie, a young graduated from patters fair, that walk condition in front are already quite difficult. and that people shouldn't be able to enjoy retirement. brandon time since her retirement 1000000 bass has been living life to the fullest every monday afternoon, the former english teacher goes dancing in the blood to advance and in paris, a former hunting ground. she says her days are full, but for the sale,

some good puts important to transmit experience that you know, i mean my take my grandchildren with me travelling on vacation. i teach them house a needs and how to dance, to not click what they still have. why don't say oh, she says that she loved her job and didn't stop at 62. like the majority of her colleagues. she carried on teaching for another 3 years of young people started working late now. so it's almost that they have to control this. 64 or 65000000 bass does not understand why so many french people are against the pension reform, which increases the age of retirement. to 64, she points out that there are more and more older people and fewer younger ones. the state had to react, some of the dancers did go out to protest against the reforms, but often they have

a different attitude to work. some even carry on until they are well past 80. the 12 i really very much. i work on a voluntary basis. as a manager and companies in startups, desktop stuff, according to a study by the prestigious higher education establishment seals full, most french people do not feel similarly fulfilled by their work. melanie studied art history and was hoping to cure 8 exhibitions, but she did not find a job. you. we all in front of the, not saddam, because he drove by then he gives guided tours of paris to tourists, but she's not happy with the job. so i think the ones my started 2 months ago and have no social life anymore. i work every weekend on holidays,

i finished late at night, sometimes 10 pm though it's a shame because i liked the profession. but i see that i'm having to sacrifice something to do is what separates it she spends her lunch breaks alone, not with colleagues. she feels like a small colleague in the parents tourist industry machine. yep. on paper, at least french legislation is work or a friend, like offering a 35 hour working week and at least 5 weeks annual vacation. museum bass says that many young people do not realize how lucky they are your boss, cuz i thought i see the attitude to cause changes in mind. a working was about fulfillment. i was a teacher. so i wanted to teach to share. no need to know i'm scheduled for young people working is more about earning lots of money to i was calling to get a new book without sure. melanie does indeed want to earn money, but she wants recognition. and not just having the feeling of being

a number own this is the deformed stereo, the business district of power, as well as all these towels the office. thomas, if you wants to test it, says half of the working population in france is frustrated too much hierarchy. and not enough freedom. melanie agrees. a google color, i want to like my work. i want you to fill me and it will come back if you don't want to get up in the morning to go to work. you went up not going anywhere. it's counter productive, but the young woman has to earn a living, so she doesn't have much choice. she has to work and because she has to, she would prefer to stop working as early as possible. so she to can enjoy life and retirement. dancing in the blog, dive on, send the from 14 housing weapons have been collected in. so be

a nationwide this um and campaign. it is part of a one month i missed the, the citizens good hand in the unregistered veterans without fear of punishment. but don't go save, it's too little too late. so be a, is a wash and illegal fi um the government only took action off of 17 people was killed in 2 mile shootings in may. was thousands across serbia have joined protests against gun violence. gun ownership is something that many of the country take for granted. and it's a booming business. shooting is a popular sport in serbia. today's gas, they've given us my per rifle. this one was using afghanistan and bosnia the operators say, with a hint of pride. the owner stands on fire arms is clear, and they will be out of the toner who's done with a firearm, per se, doesn't kill anyone. that's the message we want to get across the talk. you can

commit a crime or a murder with any weapon or object in the old. there are 2 sides to every thing was was recently 2 crimes involving firearms sent shock waves to serbia. in may, a young man killed 8 in a neighboring village. his family had an arsenal of weapons, stuff piled the day before and bell grade. students shot 8 classmates and the security guard with his father's gun whose the shooting sprees. tens of thousands have taken to the streets, including dan tonka, whose children attended the school where the shooting took place. the system, the state. everyone has failed in his eyes. he feels society is becoming more violent. demonstrators want the president and government to step down de, on time, because children narrowly survived the massacre at the school. he says he will never forget the fear and complaints that they have been left to cope with the

aftermath themselves. the families feel abandoned to pretty also take the 1st i did. there's a feeling of shock from the whole situation for you and you can see me is much more intense than you can grass and politically, or socially. nickel good also may have in your system. and then we had to deal with the trauma to slowly. this fear that we had all develop the school shooter and beltway was only 13 years old. the gun was legally owned by his father, weeks later, people are still struggling to comprehend what happened that according to the small arm survey research project, serbia brings 3rd in the world when it comes to the possession of weapons. statistically, one and 3 serves owns a gun, often illegally. although the number is following slightly,

the serbian gun lobby talks exclusively about legal firearms. just as a kid does not die illegal, know, 7 percent of the population is legally armed and they're not $36.00 as 4 and media report on see you start to do that. you said it makes 12 weapons per 100 inhabitants. sunamerica you 10 times less than in the us. forty's. yes. as if the numbers are correct and they certainly are. we are among the least armed countries in europe. i misread the main menu. now it is an exam that we have it all in the wake of the shooting sprees, the serbian government has called for people to turn in their legal weapons anonymously and without penalty, thousands have done so already on top of that, the legal trade and both weapons and weapon parts has been completely banned for 2 years. a step too far for the shooting range operators. oh, this was nice to see what is on this little something happened that should not have

happened to me at the city to this your respective of whether the guns were legal or not. what york lucy didn't what i think it's too rash to prohibit legitimate gun owners from doing what was previously legal, may go on doc, who and property center. dan says guns are only part of the problem. he talks of a generally brutalization of serbian society and says pro government channels such as pink, tv, contributing to this pink tv broadcast, the lowest form of content in his view, insults insights, play because of the connection. it's a latent form of violence, quite a method of use. it does not directly victimize, but that creates a feel like a m, b, and atmosphere in which we are constantly one step away from verbal violence available in the past. and after that, we're only one step away from physical violence. people have called to p t. v. to be set down. pressure on the state is growing. the government

knows that the mood is turning against it. it may serve as autocratic president, alexander village, organize the demonstration for himself, and had loyalist transported from all over the country to build great long live alexander voltage. the i support my fellow countryman, boot sheets for sylvia. the principal nature of the government is still firmly in the saddle, but there is an arrow change in serbia. now that's what i call by the dice and the couldn't even be able to do anything to preserve at once. we. the spider dies island belongs to the dodge and to use both politically to the netherlands, but also known to europe is a major driver of climate change, which poses a threat to the island of barnett alignment, lynn jania,

and jessica johnson. how long experienced the dramatic consequences of global warming on the ground? but she has a plan to mitigate the consequences relative, a veneer as an island in the caribbean netherlands, and is under threat. as we have sea level rise and worsening storms as a result of climate change, we're going to expect the waves to come over this small breaker and then potentially enter the ram star the the projected wetlands area. jessica johnson is an environmental engineer from the us. she's decided to be proactive and not wait for others. her plan is to help mitigate the climate catastrophe by planting mangrove siblings. so our idea is that we create this green barrier between the open ocean and this projected area. mangrove grow in sailing coastal waters. we visit a part of the forest where the main roads are still intact. sabina angle is our

guide. the marine biologist grew up in the depths caribbean and is the driving force behind them. association comprising hundreds of volunteers engaged in conservation. they call themselves the mangrove maniacs. sabina has to get right into the water to plant the seedlings. they take root in a chalky silt, in biodegradable bags. each one is a source of hope, and although even they can hold back to see forever see mangrove sign, the hype at the moment, everybody thinks the manga side of the solution. but does it cause yet? also demand goes to suffer from a sea level rise. but the roots of a mature mangrove can hold the sands together and break the waves. so the idea in itself is good, but time is short. in the rays against climate change, these structures can give the seedlings and much needed head start. in just

a few years, this will disappear and the mangroves will stay because their roots will be through the rock. adapting to climate change here in bone air is part of the fight against global warming. does let us dine duluth. that's it from focus on your for this week. thank you for watching. good bye and take care the the the,
