4:33 am
a strategic protective strip here that it was that include all the brush from the 4th floor the month. oh yeah, they will get hit that days. they get the how do i mean if a fire does 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 that key. 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 saying what's your upon the plants are really suffering and desktop at summer dead. others are losing bio mass to look at that schedule which creates better fuel

4:35 am
harvest thing is dangerous instead of to death because it takes place from the heart and from the building. 10, doing 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. and if i would almost have to be them in tell you that it is 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. we discovered that there was a sudden bang and the exhausted and a sparks flew out onto the hay hanging from the machine. yeah, it's because you've been a fire broke down your students and 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 of what's going on. dental color for the intense heat is making the atmosphere increasingly
4:36 am
unstable. basic that causes higher wind speeds and those wins make buyers way more destructive than normal in illinois model. enrique and his prevention team are also concerned about the humanities climate footprints. they say prevention alone isn't enough and better policy measures are urgently needed. but oh yeah, most got to be not all the other way and then wonder the world is transforming into a force are burning everywhere and get them out of going through the country is need to realize we can't leave this kind of heritage for our children scorched or the stress tourist has made it through yet another hot and dry day, tomorrow, and wreak and his crew will head out once again to try and prevent the worst from happening. a few weeks ago we introduced you to u haul, or a ukrainian soldier. he's been fighting against the russian occupation on the front
4:37 am
line. he was injured at last. the legs then returned to his unit with a post jesus. you hor has no doubt 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 is capital also just to make it back to us congress canoeing on the lake and no way they go. and demons feel very far away from the warranty ukraine. but in the thoughts, it's still very close. even here, the rehab facility, both lost the leg fighting at the front, a new crane even so they go or plans to head back to the war soon. well, how do they would they be sent to us or was it gonna be after what happened and what i've gone through before? i'm not really afraid of jewels. the boys will take it as long as nothing else gets torn off an arm or leg. then i'll give it some more donald boomers
4:38 am
if you go, it shows up here a 2nd time, the new movie, then i'll give it some serious thought. and he'll sit 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 a little bit, but for 20 year old jake or the war, still a decisive factor in his life. as we 1st met him in may have been eastern ukraine mobiles, the people. so i'm looking at this bubble. 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 go with this,
4:39 am
that i knew there was his 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 are trying to do more for him. they said that your gore with a new prosthetic that offers a wider range of movement. out of the simple 1001st step. obviously the fit on this prosthetic is more flexible. i can do this with this as lot 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
4:40 am
fellow patients. they're comfortable here. well 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 total chaos. the change those the world of good the days and the clinic or john packed with strengths, training and gymnastics, among other things the therapists focus on the soldiers particular needs. so i'm interesting by spin, for an older person, for example, it might be more important to be able to take care of themselves alternately to do simple things like going to the bathroom and climbing stairs, or going shopping for soldiers. it's more about how they can move around the battlefield. and so we've picked more advanced exercise is that what you're seeing now is not what we do with our regular and few t patients long. big drawers making good progress. the team is
4:41 am
satisfied with this new prosthetic thing and somebody on the south no longer fits at all. at 1st, it was all right, legally, by the time we got to the clinic, my leg was hurting, right? ukrainian prosthetic was fitted and it worked at the corner. i can spend the whole day and then with doing things, i'm with the doctors here say another operation could health, but the patient has other plans intends to return home, gets us official discharge and look for work for his part. yeah, go, i will report a straight back to his unit in the daunted us. it stays in regular contact with his comrades and his mother, the hello. hello, my son. boom. what's new at home? so i got back from where to pick some cherries and now i'm cooking and tomorrow i'll go back to work. first,
4:42 am
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 don 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 you go and his friends and brothers, we'd winchester to us. he's a hero. we support him. we have no other choice for son had a choice. you could choose to stay in norway study work and build a new life for himself. but he is returning to the ukrainian lines in his homeland, to his 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 the hill,
4:43 am
a fringe 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 so furious, 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 directed at the police burning buses and looting for days on end, right, spread across france, the unrest started after 17 year old nato 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
4:44 am
this traffic stop was caught on camera. on like dozens of other cases of police violence primarily directed at the inhabitants of the bun. yeah. or southern cases like that. it made the boot from neal to his family. he was another victim of police violence like no, he was shot during a police. jeff, the latest. that's him when he was 4 years old and then preschool. that's him at 6 with our father to take him proficio. this may be joined to getting is a teenager. he was convicted of theft and spent time in prison. oh say to he never killed anyone. he made mistakes stove his way, but he never used excessive violence. never killed anyone who made the measure to do what was your last made use siblings. take us to the parking lot where the
4:45 am
police stopped him in 2015 after spotting him by chance. he had not returned to prison after his day for all. you know, my brother was driving in 1st gear. i've tried to drive past them, they put 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 of the best thing that he wasn't doing in self defense and the 4 digit that the 2nd shot killed him from. they both knew tempered a verdict and cord 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, studies show the risk of dying during the police control was 3 times higher in france and britain. french interior minister domino admits they've been
4:46 am
shortcomings that the company super committed police make mistakes too. but we also need to ensure that they haven't better and longer training. they don't use them because he gets a cruise like got the policeman. abdulla icons de reaches out to the suburban residents who have often experience decades of social deprivation. as the suburbs often have higher immigrant populations with nicholas and he uses videos and comments on social media to bridge the devise and explain the police perspective will definitely send us every month. only don't know, police officer gets up in the morning, wanted to kill someone in where you'd be walking in for the some districts, especially where many immigrants lived. the crime rates are high in general. similar, we're not patrolling the streets for no reason filled it up. we have to double the residents, want the police to be present at the difficulty them all the that was all the for you see some friends sociologists argue that certain districts have become ghettos. the state has let down its inhabitants, says michelle,
4:47 am
correct. yeah. like on the go down. yeah, there's a colonial context. all of this to say possible. would you know, 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. yeah. these are mean yes. so. 7 6 great years, miriam and me boot had been fighting for the policeman who killed their brother to be convicted. they oppose the riots. the cell, the menu fish desperately to peacefully protest a better than burning cars belonging to innocent people on i will put the rift runs deep between the suburbs and the police forces of the french state violence could seemingly flare up again at any time since breakfast in 2020 british farmers like tim chambers have faced the big challenge. there just aren't
4:48 am
enough harvest workers. the u. k is departure from the european union has led to a shortage of foreign n, 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 u. or is it really feasible to harvest the u. k. strawberries without cheap labor from low age countries as the brakes. if you're it's preached and promised brits we're supposed to have been picking this fruit for top. pay the foot 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,
4:49 am
then please pay me more money in the supermarkets. and i will put us out of a 100000 pound pick. who in the field impossible, we've, we've tried for many years for the last 10 years to encourage english people back onto the funds to what farmer tim's problem is that he can't find enough labours 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, 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 will into allowing that to happen. they weren't telling us as an industry, even if they 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
4:50 am
is an aggressive brakes. that idea allowed scene 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 or welded wrecks enables us to build high skills highway economy that is less dependent on low skilled foreign labor. the economist like johnson port is think this labor shortage is precisely 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 it idea logs are coming from. we have to go back to their former head forest. john said he promised
4:51 am
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 foss just for those who are those. but what we want 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 johnson's arch nemesis. but sooner the better 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 annual growing companies. what does that mean for the strawberry harvest that either? well paid brits have to do the job for robots. some british farms are already
4:52 am
partly automated. and unlike the british government's attitude towards work permits, it's quite generous on this account. you're marketing 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 a support functions. they are responsible for deploying robots to custom sites and making sure that they're working to formally as well as the shade. and those, those jobs may be slightly better paid and perhaps slightly more desirable than the freight ticket. 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 pickers
4:53 am
he needs while brits won't take the jobs for him. robots are still far off in the future. a rough quote to types out, the 1st 2 will be harvesting and some of them show initial signs of potentially they might be quite good. but where's 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, 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 creator itself. and 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

4:55 am
a violent street fight. it's light the cliches about our district. if you dig a little deeper, you see more or less, but we want to dispel prejudice. and the exhibition traces the history of boxing. it celebrates legends like mohammed donnelly, as well as today's local heroes fi mailboxes from luna and peak. the curator say, boxing has long been a source of inspiration for artists on the exhibition unpacking the aspiring punch for visitors of all ages. they're just a couple of what it looks to when you see 2 boxers fighting with each other. it's like a down. let's go look at these movements that'd be sensitive, very special energy, the me off the, to a minute. for me, that'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
