7:31 am
could increase the number of fire fighting operations. fire we gaze face intense works during the upcoming main forest fire season. now it's up to people like enriques of past to prevent outbreaks of large fires. he's part of a special task force and he is alarmed forest and spain have lost much of their natural powers of defense. climate change has significantly weakened the countries tree population. that's why and well wooded areas like catalonia much is being done to improve the forest resistance. and the roads are dry and dusty and it's hot. $35.00 degrees celsius enriques up his is scouting the cadillac and forest with his special unit on a mission to prevent forest fires. so let's take a little heat waves are becoming stronger and more frequent alone. we can only try
7:32 am
to stop fires from spreading by observing and responding fat. that'd be better. in the 1st half of 2023, almost 70000 hector's, of force breakdown. that's an area greater than all of the madrid of all the land burned by wild fires in the you over half is in spain and weak is very concerned. he checked the soil for moisture and keep finding the same result or something. yeah, so yeah, it's dry down deep into the earth, meaning fires can break out at any moment to go to. so they have to take action with local massage, simply add to the sum of the car. they put that feeling is that i think we've created a strategic protective stream here and it was, it include all the brush from the 4th floor. that was my thought. oh yeah, they will get that those the get the how do i mean if
7:33 am
a fire just break out it can't spread and can't reach the tree tops you get it, go to that as a comparison, we left everything over the day or the way it was going to start, i guess we're going to sell it the other the firefighters back at the station are also on high alert at even the slightest sign of a forest fire. they head out in nearly done mile is specialized in these kinds of disasters . and he says, extreme climatic conditions are straining the 4th best plan is that still same what you when i find the plants are really suffering and desktop, some are dead, others are losing bio mass. the low gap has got you on that, which creates you better fuel for a forest fire. i think one of them via phoning saying it's a firestar. it's under those conditions. that's all the more violent from the outset within those. yeah, there's that any c o in late june,
7:34 am
a fire broke out in the back country around time ago. now. firefighters fought the blaze from the air and ground bottles immediately monitored the operation from the station. when i came, uh, i got a quote uh from harvesting machine caught fire and set lights sealed to and from there the flames quickly spread to the adjacent for as well as the special unit, conduct the regular aerial surveillance, also to observe harvesting activities. and enrique cents fire trucks to the fields, just in case there's an activity that they will be eligible for because of the harvest, the thing is dangerous instead of to death because it takes place from the heart and from the body and send you in a fire can start at any moment, it's done with the support of it, and that's why we stay close. so we can respond quickly and we'll get it out in
7:35 am
a fight. it was almost ready. that meant that it was actually give them the farmers are thankful to have the firefighters around. tomas, sorry, has been in too dangerous situations, but managed to extinguish the fire on his own in the nick of time. with this copy of the owner, there was a sudden bang and the exhausted and a sparks flew out onto the hay hanging from the machine. yeah, just because you've been a fire broke down those instance your the firefighters, anticipate things getting tougher in the future. emily sees climate change as the primary culprit last and most of it ask you the name was going going to dental color for the intense heat is making the atmosphere increasing the unstable fcc. gov. that causes higher wind speeds and those wins make fire is way more destructive than normal. remodel. enrique and his prevention
7:36 am
team are also concerned about the humanities, climate footprint. they say prevention alone isn't enough. and better policy measured. the stress for us has made it through yet another hot and dry day tomorrow and recon his crew will head out once again to try and prevent the worst from happening. a few weeks ago we introduced you to you hor, ukrainian soldier. he's been fighting against the russian occupation on the front line. he was injured at last. the legs then returned to his unit with a post jesus. you hor has no doubt so that he's doing the right thing. they accepted an offer from norway for an even better prosthesis because it promises to make him quicker on the battlefield. u haul is currently undergoing treatment and you know, as capital also just to make it back to his congress is continuing on a lake and no way
7:37 am
a go on demons feel very far away from the worn ukraine. but in the thoughts it's still very close. even here, the rehab facility, both lost the leg fighting at the front and ukraine. even so a gore plans to head back to the war soon. there would it be since it was supposed to be after what happened and what i've gone through before. i'm not really afraid is your stuff in the budget. what is it? as long as nothing else gets torn off an arm or leg? then i'll give it some more of donald. where is the gorge shows up here a 2nd time, the new movie, then i'll give it some serious thought until set like this metal on metal for 39 year old dame a joke. so one way to deal with his experiences, he's made the decision not to return to the cha seems a little time passes and you get used to civilian life. and i have a son to raise money. yeah. there are a lot of things to do with it. even though we have to get away from this war
7:38 am
a little bit, but for 20 year old jake or the war, still a decisive factor in his life. we 1st met him in may in eastern ukraine mobile. so i'm looking at the photo. it must have been an anti personnel mine just. they were scattered around me. i stepped on, it fell and didn't realize what happened. i looked at my leg so, but it wasn't there anymore. and we'll adopt coordinates that i need to say what is lower leg couldn't be saved. he spent the next 7 months in hospital. they go have to learn how to walk into a specific against the advice of his doctors and wishes of his family. he decided to return to the front here in norway, specialist trying to do more for him. they said that you a gore with a new prosthetic that offers
7:39 am
a wider range of movement. out of the simple a 1000 through step. obviously the fit on this prosthetic is more flexible. i can do this with a visa, and let's say the, the shock absorption is better and it doesn't jolt the bone. it's great for us. they go in d, my are spending 5 weeks in this clinic about 100 kilometers north of us law. despite the language barrier, they think warmly received by their know wage and follow patients. they're comfortable here to with a it's like there are 2 very different worlds. there's a war, but here this piece, everything's quiet. well, on the other side, there's a total chaos. the change those the world of good the days and the clinic are jam packed with strengths, training and gymnastics,
7:40 am
among other things the therapists focus on the soldiers particular needs. so i'm interested in vice in for an older person. for example. it might be more important to be able to take care of themselves, often enough to do simple things like going to the bathroom and climbing stairs are going shopping for soldiers. it's more about how they can move around the battlefield. and so we pick more advanced exercises. what you're seeing now is not what we do with our regular and few t patients. no mind, i'm a big drawers, making good progress. the team is satisfied with this new prosthetic st. and so for you on the south, no longer fits at all. at 1st, it was all right, lovely. by the time we got to the clinic, my leg was hurting the ukrainian prosthetic was fitted and it worked. i can spend the whole day and then with the only thing, i'm with the doctors here say another operation could health, but the patient has other plans intends to return home. guess as official discharge
7:41 am
and look for work for his part. yeah. go, i will report a straight back to his unit. in the daunted us, stays in regular contact with his comrades and his mother, the hello. hello, my son. boom. what's new at home? i got back from work and pick some cherries and now i'm cooking and tomorrow i'll go back to work. first. his mother was against her only son returning to the war, but now the family has accepted the decision. yes, i wonder. i think he's in dumb at about our entire family sees him that way. it's the men's duty not to hide away. if there were more people like a gore and his friends and brothers, we'd winchester to us. he's a hero. we support him. we have no other choice for
7:42 am
son had a choice. you could choose to stay in norway study work and build a new life for himself. but he's returning to the ukrainian lines and his homeland actually was comrades to everyone, hugo, or feels he has a duty to in spite of the sacrifices it cost him a heavy, rioting ripped france at the end of june. it was triggered by the death of my health, a french teenager with a migrant background. the police killed the 17 year old steering a traffic control and non tear on the outskirts of paris. the outburst of fury, especially from people in the suburbs were directed at the state and its executive authority. the police. and who does the brother also dies junior police check, like many french people. he wonders if the police have a problem with allowance and racism. molotov cocktails
7:43 am
directed at the police burning buses and looting for days on end, right, spread across france, the unrest started after 17 year old and i know was shot by police during a traffic stop and known to a suburb of paris. the policeman later claimed that the car was moving towards him, but the video was proven wrong. they showed that he was not in danger when he shot this traffic stop was caught on camera. on like dozens of other cases of police violence primarily directed at the inhabitants of the bone you or southern cases like that have made the boot uh from the on to his family. he was another victim of police violence like no, he was shot doing a police check the natives of that's him when he was 4 years old and then preschool
7:44 am
. that's him at 6 with our father, proficio mcgee joined a getting as a teenager. he was convicted of death and spent time in prison. oh say to he never killed anyone. imagery that he made mistakes. stove is what, but he never used excessive violence, never killed anyone who made the measure to do what was billed on was made use siblings. take us to the parking lot where the police stopped him in 2015 after spotting him by chance. he had not returned to prison after is day for all you don't want him to live in. my brother was driving in 1st gear. i tried to drive past him today, but the policeman month to the side and shot him twice by the policeman changed his testimony 5 times and at the end, you have to admit to shooting from the side with the think that he wasn't acting in self defense and this one did usually the 2nd shot,
7:45 am
killed him from different from the temper. a verdict and card has not yet been reached. cases of police violence in france have been on the rise since 2017. when a law was passed to give police more power during traffic stops, and studies show the risk of dying. doing a police control is 3 times higher in france than britain. french interior minister domino admits they've been shortcomings that the companies ship to commit to police make mistakes too. but we also need to ensure that they have a better and longer training. they owner's of course, he gets a cruise like got the policeman. abdulla icons de reaches out to the suburban residents who have often experienced decades of social deprivation. outside the suburbs often have higher immigrant population. of course, he uses videos and comments on social media to bridge the device and explain the police perspective. hotel points in
7:46 am
a 7 month old. don't have no police officer gets up in the morning. wanted to kill someone where you'd be dr. in some districts, especially where many immigrants lived. the crime rates are high in general symbol, we're not patrolling the streets for no reason filled it up with huge demo. the residents want the police to be present, that'd be difficult to them on the left because all the pretty soon the some friends sociologists argue that certain districts have become ghettos. the state has let down its inhabitants says me show co, correct? yeah. but on the good, yeah, there's a colonial context. all of this is a possible example because some of the suburbans resemble the french colonies, but that's the inhabitants are constantly controlled by police. there's racial profiling on remediation. yes. or does it mean yes, your for 8 years, miriam and me boot had been fighting for the policeman who killed their brother to be convicted. they opposed the riots though. they many fish desperately to
7:47 am
peacefully protest a better than burning cars belonging to innocent people on a well put. the rift runs deep between the suburbs and the police forces of the french state of violence could seemingly flare up again at any time since breakfast in 2020 british farmers liked him. chambers have faced the big challenge. there just aren't enough harvest workers. the u. k is departure from the european union has led to a shortage of foreign and usually cheaper labor. many birds would consider this kind of job to a strenuous and too poorly paid. while the domestic economy is still struggling with the consequences of bricks it. here comes to figure from a recent survey, more than 50 percent of the british people would vote rejoined the you.
7:48 am
is it really feasible to harvest the u. k. strawberries without chief labor from low age countries as the brakes if you're it's preached and promised. the brits were supposed to have been picking this fruit for top pain. the butt farmer tim chambers is something of a stick in the mud. he's got bulgarians, indonesians, and cossacks out in his fields for 12 years. and now now if you want that person to be highly paid, then please pay me more money in the supermarkets. and i will put us out of a $100000.00 pound figure in the fields. impossible. we've, we've tried for many years for the last 10 years to encourage english people back on to funds to what farmer jim's problem is that he can't find enough flavors from abroad. the british government would rather let fewer migrants and not more, not nearly as many work permits are being approved as are needed,
7:49 am
which would be about another $10000.00. they would not issuing what permits until the season, who already started, which is too late. so we need the flexibility to bring people in earlier. they weren't allowing that to happen. they weren't telling us as an industry, even if the would be the availability of any labor to it's like he's saying, let them find out the hard way. the home secretary responsible. so algebra berman is an aggressive exit ideologue seen here at a rally of ultra conservatives from her party. there was no good reason why we can't train up enough truck drivers, but choose fruit because builders, welders, wrecks enables us to build a high skilled highway to economy that is less dependent on low skilled foreign labor. the economist like johnson port is think this labor shortage is precisely
7:50 am
what the british government wanted. the idea of the new policy is precisely to squeeze sectors that relied on lower paid labor to force them to invest more in technology, to trade, to upscale whether or not that's going to work. of course, it's too early to tell to understand better where the brakes that idea along. so coming from, we have to go back to their former head forest johnson. he promised a golden age donning. after leaving the you and the u. k. where everybody would soon be far better off economically. and that is all vision for britain, a high wage, low tax, highest fuel pipe productivity, economy with incomes rising fastest for those. who are those pay? what it is to end the situation would you have controlled immigration coming in for low skilled jobs pushing down wages his successor wishes to not has now become
7:51 am
johnson's arch nemesis, but sooner is the rest, the tier himself and the kindred spirit. as regards his economic vision, this country is a beacon for the world's most successful talented people. we want to attract the best and the price as well around the world to come here to research, to study, to create new businesses to come and work. and you will grow and companies. what does that mean for the strawberry harvest that either wellpaid brits have to do the job for robots? some british farms are already partly automated. and unless the british government's attitude towards work permits, it's quite generous on this account. you're marking some 230000000 euros for developing new ideas and agriculture. duncan robertson is renting his 1st prototypes to farmers, and he says they're getting better all the time for people to work as robot supervisors, we employed people in
7:52 am
a support functions. they are responsible for deploying robots to custom sites and making sure that they're working to formally as well as they should. and those, those jobs may be slightly better paid and perhaps slightly more desirable than the freethinking, that may press all the right buttons for the government. but duncan robertson cautions if they're still in a test phase, human pickers will be needed alongside machines for some time to come. tim chambers continues to fume about the government withholding the foreign pictures he needs well, brits won't take the jobs for him. robots are still far off in the future, throughout prototypes out there for us to be harvesting. and some of them show initial signs of potentially they might be quite good. but where is the capital going to come from to invest in that machinery? the industry is now one is needs is actually not making the money that we need to, to invest in that kind of machinery. like many british farmers,
7:53 am
he depends on foreign labor. no amount of pressure can change that no matter how hard the brakes the tiers may wish otherwise, british farmers can't do without their foreigners boxing is not just a sport. it's an art for, at least according to the creators of an exhibition currently on display in brussels. there's a boxing ring set up there and everyone is invited to join in. but this isn't the place for upper cars and knock owls. the name of the exhibition is to open the young people's eyes to the art of boxing with other black eyes site. screw, a trip to a museum might not sound that exciting before. he knows where he is. 18 year old and reins fighting in a boxing ring. but this is in fact art. and then right, so the part of it is also comes on to to disagree with
7:54 am
us. it's really strange. it's like you're an exhibit most of it. but i think it's great, it's really motivating, multiple fits if you were in middle of dick a deprived district of brussels, notorious for being home to the terrorist behind the powers attack 7 years ago. it's also home to the mainland museum, which wants to transform the reputation of both the area under boxing. looks that looks at those boxing is a sport. it is not a violent street fight. so it's light the cliches about our district. if you dig a little deeper, you see more us, but we wanted to spell prejudice. and the exhibition traces the history of boxing. that celebrates legends like mohammed lee, as well as today's local heroes fee mailboxes, from luna big. the curators, the boxing has long been a source of inspiration for artists. of the exhibition unpacking the aspiring
7:55 am
punch for visitors of all ages. to the sake of the books of when you see 2 boxers fighting with each other, it's like a down. let's go look at these movements that be sense, a very special energy, the me off the to get a minute. for me, it's art the boxing ring is also used by professionals who performed here and carry out the normal everyday training. but anyone who has been through the exhibition they look at it's from a whole new perspective and see the art behind the sport. and that's all from this edition of focus on year of thanks for watching bye. a. the, the,
