what do you see? it really is possible to reverse the researchers and scientists all over the world for you know, race against time. they are peers and rivals with one daring goals to help smart nature. the more likes watching it on youtube. dw documentary, the hello and welcome to focus on europe is good to have you with us. the destruction of the nova kirchhoff got them and ukraine south early this month is being seen of yet another war, crime, industrials, war against you. great. the water in the flooded area. so slowly this evening,

but rebuilding the infrastructure and removing the debris may take months. more over the collapse of the crucial dom has sparked, feels of an ecological catastrophe. it is estimated that around $1000000.00 people who would have no access to fresh water. this situation is particularly concerning for the older population and people with disabilities. now what the people in the affected area, this is yet another disaster in a deadly lot populations on both sides of the nature of all facing the consequences . since this area is on the front lines of the conflict, there is an added danger of mine and explosive contamination as well. but even in the midst of this adversity, there are stories that have a happy and like the rescue of maxine and his family who worked dropped in a flooded house of the in peacetime,

in the time of normalcy. this might not have been the very best ice cream masha and maxine had ever tasted. the 2 children and their mother are at home and hassle and for months they hid from the russian occupiers. and there weekend cottage on an island. they couldn't return to harris on the river in between. had become the front line 24 hours earlier, marshall maxime and their mother were trapped in the flood on the russian occupied side of the river. they were hungry and thirsty, then a drone spotted them. that's maxime in the skylight surrounded by flood waters. where the temple chance we took a towel and waved it's a signal. we're here. we're here on the it stopped and hung about you 3 meters above the city gets on the news. it looks to look 10, flew away, swimming, 15 minutes later, flew back, looked for 3 minutes and flew off again on the chase. we didn't know if it was

russian or one of ours was nash. the drones had always been his rent. they fired on people. the children knew that all too well, but now the strong dropped a bottle of water for them on the bottle was a message. hang on, don't panic, evaluation is coming, signed santa santa is the code name for this ukrainian soldier. so he controlled the drone. normally he would have been dropping grenades, then he spotted the kids not with the thought, the squad, and i thought it's hard to play as a worth it because of the kinds of the strong when dates of silver there's no, it's pretty complicated to them. they belies the dry and the way you can hit the window to the squad. no, you said the wrong i was most afraid of the drones because i thought they'd shoot at us a block. the russians weren't far away and the children and their mother were rescued . now they're back in harris on and staying with friends is only about 20 percent

of hassan's population remain. it's like a ghost town. how is the city now for children? when does it meet the updates very hard for them to grow up in conditions like these young, which he had to break off. santa grew up in hassle and himself a few 100 meters from the water from the front line. we made up with me saw you are tour and kitty. what do you do when you hear explosions? we troy selves on the ground, the gallery years. not long ago, one hit that building there. we were lying on the floor. so you always listen. yes, of course. natalia, it's 11. the other 2 or 12. me tell you tells us health of children to pass on our living. and you put it, we snob,

here's the living here is strange. does it live in a quiet you're afraid to go to sleep because you don't know if you'll wake up again, but i'll stop. you're afraid to step on a rock because you don't know what's under inputs. cutting it might be a minor stress, no worries. so i'm saying that the, there are lots of them here on the playground. some law school of some of you can say it's not you never know when something's going to hit and you have no time the ground to meet somebody. you'll be sitting on the swaying, most good thoughts, and then when they start shooting, you have no time to jump off the swaying and change your mind. that's how we live the whole time and fear that you have the grownups changed the modem. yes, people have gotten yeah. how to say it. better coverage for children, because they know what we're going for. the future volume. more death and destruction to me, thailand is friends. try to be kids in the midst of it. and ins,

hassan's empty streets. so the maxime and marshal, when maxine meant, his family were caught on the island among the russian forces. their mother promised over and over. once we get back to hassle and i'll get you some ice cream the very 1st day. now they're back in harris on their very 1st day. what is the definition of a family? italy is having to deal with this question. lately. ramos to georgia model needs right wing government as making it difficult for same sex couples to read, recognize as bins. melanie had already pledged to a full so long to see an adoption by gig, oppose in her election, camping, christiano. and george, you are outraged by this, the living room, but that's when daughters and now what it for their family. it's time to pride in run and preparations around the way she never and the manual it and dads

christiano in georgia. there's been a family for 8 years now and for 8 years that visited the parade together. make sure a t shirts are in christiano in georgia. it has been a couple for 20 years. after much deliberation, they became parents in 2014, thanks to a sergeant mazda in the us. the legal recognition of such families is complicated and easily. only the biological father, in this case christiana has parental rights at 1st. but i really need us to get to the only way for the other parents to become a social is to apply to adopt the child whom do you need to order. but that takes a long time and it's expensive at the beginning to look up was meaningful stores of they went through the process and georgia is now officially the father of the children too. but it wasn't easy for him before. i imagine she's these are, these are the ones that took the children to the doctor to be vaccinated and

refused to give them the vaccination because i wasn't the biological father. well, did it according to the law. i didn't have parental rights when i see adoption and gone through yet, so the state considered to be a stranger at disclosure to star. so this situation has was and since prime minister, georgia maloney and her 5 right potty brothers eventually came to power. previously subsidies allowed the names of 2 mothers or 2 fathers to be entered on both certificates. but, but lot of these new interior minister has banned these practice. so this is parade is all the more important for the family we want to show the world, we're not that different to other families or to fathers with 2 children. that's 3 already tried is important because right now we, many families are in trouble. we need to show us holiday already and be close to

them. and there's another danger to the l g b t q plus community. and instantly who's parliament is debating a law that would prevent rainbows, families from being created in the 1st place. there's already a ban on sorry to say you need to lee, but finding sorry, gets abroad. may soon be banned as well as maloney's allied caroline of ocoee introduced a bill for getting a lot of them when i but i think i better because he is a deviant practice for what these women are turned into slaves. objects that can be bought. ok, we saw it's delivery of the 3rd millenniums for better. for me, let me see, i'm a little more so than it's working to own equity anyways. that's why we want to extend the criminal liability probable. so even though to go abroad are punished as soon as they return to italy mix that outlets the we will not give up. we won't always fight for the rights of our children. the president of the rainbow

family's association says the government is just trying to stir up sentiment against same sex couples in an interview just before she became prime minister. georgia maloney said that rainbow families should not be considered families at all . if someone is a, they have to live with the consequences and forego having children. she's telling us not to become parents and doing everything she can to, to not use the option the. now there's a culture will going on a need to meet about what a family is and what it should look like. christiano and joe joe, don't want to hide that proud of their family. and they're happy to talk about it publicly with the media. the kids loved the parade, it's like a big party for them and they're still young and sure they don't understand everything yet. but they've noticed some people saying we're not a family at all and the noise them. so they say on we are a family the and recent always show that

a majority of italians degree but still the conservative nationalist coalition wants to push the anti cert see more through this summer. and it has the majority in parliament. the culture will either what family means is far from either the reducing the consumption of oil and gas and moving in the direction of renewables is a challenge that most of europe in countries are facing right now. but people in iceland and now than europe don't have to face those problem. the live on the largest walk on the island in the world. there is no doubt of geo at home and the heat here. and hot water isn't abundance, almost like 2 to are off and omens also benefit from this not to do the treasurer, the tomato farmer has gone to a supply of hot water right on his doorstep. the theaters itself is

seizing around can do to wrap our minds, green houses, geothermal, heat fuels, hot springs, just a few steps away for a fee. iceland acc, farmers can tap into this volcanic islands, natural energy resources. we are getting out of this phase about 68 elite this 7th of the 90 degrees talk about the for the greenhouse is for the for the houses for the summer house is a farm funeral, a network of pipes carry the hot water through connect to his greenhouses maintaining a constant mild temperature for his tomatoes. the tomato farmer also draws upon natural sources to irrigate the plants, what kind of water we are giving to the product is a key think because tomatoes on 92 percent of water. so i believe you need to give the pump, the good quality water to get that good quality to tomatoes on an ice on to they have really much good. finally to calls was coming from all mounting so i can walk through my planted the same good. what does that we are drinking in our house? us?

canada is quite proud of his ecological greenhouse. he even gets the power for the grow lights from renewable energy sources. a moment more international guests are coming to look around his greenhouse and learn from his presentations. healthy icelanders utilize their energy resources and they can sample the prod, use and the farms own restaurant surrounded by the tomato plants. his neighbor, just a few 100 meters farther on, grow strawberries. geothermal heat can be harnessed to create optimal conditions for them to grow year round home feats or a guest with years operation to is all natural. we have lost the spring punch at all. no time because we are using the like a few different dish on the plant to to a kid it's, it will be some pests fresh fruits and vegetables on an island with long cold dark winter's comes at a cost. but the strawberry farmers hoping that in future,

even more will be grown in iceland screen houses. they don't know or people are reading to buy ours jeanette stihl and take lunch because they are more expensive. but you're always talking about the whole front and the how good the iceland degree is that will produce and what your goals are. the important parties in the stores is still cheaper if not for the relatively low cost geothermal energy, fruit and vegetable farming here would not be profitable. icelanders have long known the value of their hot springs and dancers, but they didn't always know what to do with them. people didn't like it much because they put this like open the automotive put the all go into it on the diet. so it was not that good, a good place, but then not on 1925 or 6. the farm was try to decide to catch the water. that's why they built the concrete door. and that's why that's how they can the coconut,

how they can use that water, ready, or even if ice lands geothermal, energy seems inexpensive and inexhaustible. experts warn against taking too much hot water from the springs. there fed mainly by ground water and it could take decades to fill up again. the thought of living in a european city sounds like a dream for many, especially a city about a so popular that everyone wants to visited at least once in a lifetime. but for those who actually live there like as a being who we met them, so them the popularity of a city has thrown out to be a nightmare. millions of students come to answer them. every body tourism has become such a problem in the city that special sign boards have been put up to ensure that students do not drink and disturb the local population, especially at night. so them isn't alone. many major european cities are having to

deal with this problem, and answer them seems to have found some solutions, but not to everyone's liking. it's 10 pm on a friday night in amsterdam, the red light district, the epping. once to speak to anybody misbehaving. she's a local and she can't stay on the masses of tourists anymore. this isn't a normal weekends night and the major escapes you more noise. she comes across a group of tourists blocking the entrance to a building. you please find a place to say. thank you. she wants to your tourist less night life, more calm and more rules in the red light district. it's to me the percent off. i'm so that makes the most beautiful part of the city. and it's, it's, it's

a disney lander with them dealing with me because we've been behind windows and trucks. so we kind of, we've gone, spend that of the city is already introduced some measures to get excessive party tourism under control. it's launch the campaign targeting british people in particular, asking them to stay away. it's also said bars and brothels have to close earlier and band the smoking of cannabis and the red light district. what the tour, se, monthly did you mentioned buzzing? yeah, it's a crowded house. i bet you can't even open the windows because it's too loud and smells of way across us. so for me, it's not a big deal, but i think it's for most people, when you, when you're young and come to answer them, it's not good if they close, early on. so let me know if there are still a few shelves where you can smell like it's fine. it's hard to miss the signs in

the district. it's clear, the city is trying to calm things down. but for those who make a living from night life, it's getting harder. this sex worker wants to remain anonymous. she says it's a problem that brought those are closing 3 hours earlier than before starting to shape or forego. it's consigned us with new with me, the nation frodo from inc, which we've lost a large part of our income, is doubts to compensate yet there are more girls going out on the street to find customers and bringing them home. it's a really dangerous suspicion followed by a lady a few years ago. a sex worker was so badly beaten, not by resolve that she's still in a coma. at least, she says brothels are safer and it is too busy on fridays and saturdays. but that mass tourism is not only a problem for amsterdam, those who are just carrying out their work legally. all are in more danger. can they still sleep so well, you don't know. so let slapped what might more sustainable measures against mass

tourism look like a freak. vada is the nightmare of amsterdam. he represents different night life communities and mediates with residents he thinks the city has chosen the wrong path by introducing small bands and to shying away from obvious measures that are necessary space because we get to the market, the industry. that's what we have to specifically tackle the tourism industry, things like cheap flights or 5 of that would make sense to the environment to and then we wouldn't have to hang away and the dams, traditions and legacy of like liberal kind of his policies and effects working from space, expect them back to the busy friday night, elsie being used to be a member of the council. so many people know are here is that and her opinions, the, the family costs. all of this kind of curious as to why she's interrupted by women who says she has

a bar here. she don't complain because you make your business. how does it you make your living this out of that's why you don't. you don't complain because you don't on the plate, your eating of residents against local business people. the conflicts can even get personal. what else, evenings conclusion, the ex crescent from this towards me and maybe the others as well is growing by the i'm to printers. and i can see it as a complement because it's a we are a said, what it's about 9 am so damn expects over 18000000 tours this year. a nightmare for some a gold mine for others. for the city a dilemma. one that's not likely to be solved any time soon

and no one loves effectively on an empty stomach, but in germany, some children up in school without having eaten breakfast. the good news is that the senior citizens in the country have joined hands to change that these 3 ladies in germany risen up, putting a smile on the face of those children every morning by making sure that they stopped the day with a good me. martina, monica, and calendar are up at the crack of dawn for them. the school day starts at 6. they need to get to work in plenty of time before the children arrive because they're making breakfast, fold them. it is very rewarding. in what way? because you see the gratitude in the children's eyes when they leave. and they'll say that it was a nice breakfast and look at you in such a way. it's really touching though they are just 3 of the many volunteers who work

for the board side. the association that was set up 15 years ago to give breakfast to children who come to school in an empty stomach, which is detrimental to their learning. they have shocked that the demand has gone up from you to yeah. you're coming into moments of why we to top some of them high . sometimes we feel like a drop in the bucket once sticks at august by the way things are going is a bit scary and just county. so because we can actually launch in as many schools as wouldn't be necessary, considering the demand all be a this, this food is served as a buffet. and children are encouraged to try as much as possible because they might not know. so it's in foods. they're also taught how to use a knife and fork if need be, and to put the right amounts on that plate. here you are, enjoy. mark, which one would you like strawberry?

the volunteers play an important role. i can just get on social got it sounds get to us. when we bought this little boy at the moment who has a difficult background. he's a tiny little thing. but we've seen the development and the way he likes coming to us on the delta. first, we have to show him everything name this bread, the bread for him of me on, and so it does, but he does it himself. now if that's progress, woodside is active in over $300.00 schools in germany, helping about $14000.00 children start the day with a healthy breakfast. children who otherwise would be hungry in cloth. poor woodside has been helping out at the special educational needs school in today's didn't for almost 3 years now. prized bus talking about it's fine and everything's good. by monday, you have more energy for the day. i'll talk. my mom is much my mom seems to be here for breakfast sometimes because there's more here than we have at home. like drink,

cucumber and brass walked out. what's that quote me. yeah. it's like we can chat here with friends and eat together, you know, healthy breakfast help children learn best. so it's a proven fact. it's something the principal has noticed to, to me on the kinds of ideas and we have a number of children with psychological issues, which are fetish pride. and something we've really noticed is that a good start of the day and makes all the different switch. these include an offer on the one hand, having a full belly button on the other top and that the children arrive in their own time . can the lessons are calmer with more concentration the best the queen to the children learn better? i take the 9 fuck, that's all in the beginning about 30 children came to breakfast every morning. now that number has doubled a trend seen in schools across germany. and the children liked the breakfast. help is more than anything because they're so nice to us because they

give us the food we. so we don't have to go to class henry. the boat side association is funded mainly by donations from a discount store. only a few gem and states give financial support, but it needs more help is like my teen, monica, and galindo. still. they want to stay on as long as possible and stop it. it's a good way to start the day. it's not too much work, not exhausting it. i just lovely. i've seen the gratitude in the children's eyes that it's the best way to start your day and stop and kind of explain them because all i say to my husband and i made 51 children, happy again today, and that makes us both happy to win. you know, to feed and when the children have happily made their way to class, the 3 women go home to their own breakfast. and at least start to the day, but a wholesome one. a around 2000

senior citizens doing those good deed and lots of schools across the country. that's it for this week. we'll be back next week until then. goodbye and take care of the
