you're biting into this juicy burner. your dining companion says to you, actually that hamburger is not made from cows. it's made from golden retriever's. 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 in meeting cultures around the world, people learn to classify small handful of animals with edible and all the rest of the classify as disgusting. the w series about our complex relationship with them and also the debate watch now on youtube. d. w documentary, the hi, welcome to focus on your up. it's great to have you with us the war in ukraine and to russian of your patient has been going on for more than 500 days now. prospects

of an in your belief, as of the situation at the fund evolves into trench warfare. ukrainian counter offensive is meeting heavy russian resistance around the town of beth moved. both sides are fighting for every inch and each country is reporting high casualties. this information has not been verified independently, you know, these 2 russian men don't want to fight for pooty. they flip their country when they were threatened to wisconsin scription, they feared being used this kind of sutter on the front line and were horrified by the idea of killing ukrainian soldiers. one of them said to georgia, the other 2 cause us to report him at the 2 men who even now don't feel safe from the long arm of most count for some months now, a young russian man has been living in fear of being discovered here in tbilisi

george's capital he won't tell us his real name. we'll call him nikita. until last february, nikita lived in studied in moscow. then he was called up for military service, and he fled. i didn't want to go to war, leaving the country. it was my only chance. i knew the consequences that i'd have to hide from russia for the rest of my life. i'd never be able to return, but i just don't want to kill people. i'm not afraid of dying or landing in prison, but killing people. i can't do that thousands of kilometers away and you're out of western context on your son. jim is living here for now. he'll show his face. he wants to go public. when the mobilization commenced an autumn 2022, he was ordered to report to the military ostensibly to confirm his personnel data.

but one eagle or showed up, he was inducted on the spot. that same evening, he was to be taken to an army training camp. a few weeks later he was to be sent to the front, eager felt he'd been trapped and decided to escape. some what both of us fail to me, it was all or nothing. i thought either i'll go to prison for many years because i left my army unit or i'll die somewhere and ukraine, any of your thoughts on even though what, let's do this. oh, i'd rather go to prison. yes. okay. so we'll say i thought i would assume i don't want to take the risk of the more status go. i guess i don't wanna gamble in this lottery called the war that president putin and staging there. but he's getting some point of them me, but i this lottery as ego, our son, chief costs of war and ukraine is deadly. he says, the latest media reports say it's cost tens of thousands of freshman lives.

currently, none of the figures can be confirmed. many of those called up last year under pollutants mobilization order. we're fathers and many came from russia's port is regions a few complained to human rights organizations are in social media about the poor conditions and shortages of arms and ammunition. new done the for you, we get lots of reports about the chaos at the front and the know that sometimes nobody knows who the commanding officers are, but it is a need for the some say they were simply dumped in an open field with no idea of what to do and no leadership of any kind. we've heard that conscripts aren't talked anything that the entire training consists of firing a machine gun once it is a human rights. activists have noted over a 1000 court proceedings over alleged positions. the actual number of disorders is thought to be much higher, and the general seer of another mobilization still looms. the men who join the

military before the war has even more to fear, like nikita in georgia. he tells us the military finance does university studies in return, he had to sign on for 3 years of service. after graduating i sign the contract out of sheer stupidity. there were many things i wasn't aware of when i started university, the age 20. i thought, okay, i'll waste 3 years in the army, but i get my degree. know nikita realizes how know you that was. but many other russians did much the same. they never expected, the tutoring would actually invade ukraine, too long. so it wasn't more of a unless the financial opportunities for our people are limited. you wages aren't paid when your health care is poor mobilization and joining the war effort was the only chance many people have to show up their budgets. one person might have a daughter about to start college sports. another might have taken out a mortgage. a 3rd might need a car. but now with the war in full swing, it's

a question of life and death. ego, or in the key to know that in russia disorders face long prison sentences cause enough for the chairs. i don't feel safe in georgia and not because the people here are a meeting or anything as a russian. i have never experienced any negative sentiments from the georgians. but here i am just as afraid of the russian states as ever. sometimes i have nightmares of my old boss knocking at my door and saying, i found the fiegel or applied for asylum in context on what was rejected. he appealed and was turned down again. now he's facing deportation to russia. your has no illusions about his future media at the continue i can expect either prison or ukraine at the front. you

know, it's almost a shot. some of the state media are giving the russians the impression that personnel are in short supply. what you and men of working age ought to go to the front of the cell phone that they'll just symbol you will use this. but neither ego nikita intend to comply. they're making every effort to stay abroad as long as they can. president protein has not waste the upward age limit for reserve this and also extended the up age for conscription. albania was long considered the poor house of europe, but the country owned the ide radek seat has develop into a tourist. you thanks. huge lead to its natural beauty and long coastlines, wonderful being as wonderful pearls as the coon, a vine lagoon. but it's threatened 1st global warming at erosion has heavily

affected the coast of the country. and 2nd, locals have often been treating nature just to carelessly albini is the goons in the north of the country. seem like paradise. dumber says here comes here to work. he's been a fisherman for 40 years, including a vine, put the fish population has started to decline. he said, let's just go for just a moment. describe entre originally doing. there's been fewer fish, fewer up models, subject them up from one year to the next week. it's less than this laguna was amazing in the products you could catch thousands of kilos to fish of all kind up all 0 boys. if is that is on the me. i can try to only the small strip of land separates the every optic. see from the local the sea level is rising, allowing more blue crafts to enter the lagoon. they are replacing the natural fish population. yup. genie set. he's an environmental list in the region and observes

bio diversity video that we have to over there is deandre attic seen, and this is really good to land in between to, to his drinking. he says, due to climate change street, we have move maritime storms, erosion, high temperatures, floods, you, all of this has been affecting the good or anything to studies it, the sea will swell, the more than the logo and you have, jeannie says if there is no governmental intervention, albania is coast also will keep shrinking and estimated one 3rd of the countries coastline is already affected by your ocean. these bunker was built during the communist era for decades ago. back then, it used to be at least 40 meters away from the sea shore. many of these bunkers already underwater, others are close to being immersed by the sea. and there's less speech for torres to enjoy. as the sea advances inlet would be the loom gimme

plus to the last year we had more umbrellas this year. we have one role less. who knows what happens next year. maybe we will lose another role. new hotels are also being built, locals fee or the construction will speed up your ocean spots, you know, cause concern this restaurant built by his father in the late 19 ninety's will disappear into the see the landscape. you used to be different dense woodlands, pine trees, as his private footage, dating back to 2005 shows. i. when i did the usual, it saw the so the most of the locals from the village used to come here back then everything was green. it was like a forest like the amazon to me, but now i'm of you can see for yourself really then the funny yes. according to this as well. no much is left from that time. most of the trees are gone. taken by

the c n by people local villagers, we legally cut them down. few a tourists come here to visit, which means less revenue for his restaurant. so i'm just using simple for invest, i'm. my entire family has invested the money here in the business, and we are very sad about what's happening because it's our lives investment that state near to some face and ask themselves, missouri. val, binion government should be doing much more to stop you erosion. he said. we are headed to the capital to run into environmental ministry. we need claudia and america. she starts with coastal conservation. what we suffer is the demonstration, the lack of the financial resources and also of the human resources. because when we are talking about the financial, the resources, this is also linked with the human resources that are needed to work on the

implementation process. a less than one percent of the national budget is set aside for environmental protection. she says an estimate, albania would need to spend 30 times as much money that the impoverished country lux, back in the lagoon corner by the ex essential thread is growing for people who make their living here. says that they come on call because the this yeah through a lot of i was just sitting in this lagoon already gave for science years ago, which we did not take it seriously that everything here is coming to an end feeling that the way they got the me the most says the times when he pulled in key laughter, key little fish alone go more and more efficient and are quitting blue crap. that's the only thing now abundant here. train journeys can sometimes

be terribly adult if you need to get from a to b. that's definitely not the case though. if you bought a special train connecting building with ross lot important here at the journey is a goal in itself. you the train trip a choice of readings. concert is kyrie ok. even best will sweep your time and when you get off the train at your destination, you won't really care if the train was licked a quick southie and it's all aboard the culture train. it's franciscan, claimant's 1st time on this route from germany to poland. on this train though, it's just as much about the journey as a destination for linda road swab, accompanied by culture in art. we're really happy to be headed to drop off the weekend. i think it'll be great, and we'll even taking some culture on the train on the, as they're supposed to be concert later apparently was sometimes the 5,

but i've never actually been to poland. it's exciting because i grew up in east germany. your think i would have been on their minds as good as that. so because in the car where the vice so usually kept the berlin based, ukrainian trio show have taken center stage. they are performing a mixture of russian swing and coffee house music. it's a 1st for the band to performing on the rails. that is so it's wonderful that people gather around. they're curious and they listen to us play some of them even dance. it's fantastic. that's why most of the passengers chose the culture train rather than the faster euro city tray.

absolutely, absolutely. yes, i chose it because of all the entertainment on board clocks funds. it sounded excited much like something might go down here. right now it's kind of full glory. you could say i thought it might be a bit more fun, a bit more chic but hey. but for other passengers, polk laurie hits the spot. some are ukrainian refugees traveling to poland to meet friends, the it's excellent. it would be great if it were like this all the time. the people are happy, they get on the train with a smile. the train's motto is what connects us more than

appropriate in times of war. we must fight the disasters of the world together. not hate one another. it's good to find projects that bring us together. we're really happy to be here. a few hours later we arrive in 20 sixteens european capital of culture. broke 12 is a bustling city, full of loss, hip music, scene tubs, clubs, or in the evening by the river. and there standing modern art here to frances, the claimants and the other culture try and passengers take the weekend to explore the city. we were at group on the train home to listen to their impressions around the front. what we really noticed on our trip is so seldom we look to the east. our polish and check neighbors aren't on our radar nearly as much as our

westerly neighbors missed. the notion that goes in and that's one of the culture trade in teams, objectives, to encourage people to explore their neighboring country through culture, to travel consciously. it's even an item live leave and people aren't just glued to their laptops, like in euro, city and interest, city trains. sometimes it does rent out. they open their eyes, look out the window, and strike up a conversation with the person sitting opposite or in this place. especially when you're a german traveling abroad, you're on a kind of political mission to healed the past to strengthen the ties that have been strange. historically i've learned so much about the city and it's right next door. i'd love to come back. it's sunday afternoon and the culture train we can do is are all back on board new

routes and an ever changing cultural program. just to things princess going claimants have to look forward to when they return a roma often experience a discrimination and a social exclusion. they belong to an ethnic minority in europe, one of the largest real. no communities lives in indiana, turkey, and here, once a year, the country's best on wrestlers fight each other. it's a popular sport in which the opponents are covered in oil. the roll monitors i didn't, john and byrom has been practice in this sport and they're both talented. they are not fighting for victory alone, but also for social advancement. in just a few minutes, the match by them has trained so long for it will finally begin. he is about to enter the arena of the oil wrestlers. turkey's best athletes are squaring off here

in biomes. hometown hope you do me. the 15 year old romance is also wrestling. pritchett is i'm feeling really strong. it starts in a few minutes and of course i'm pumped it started to rain to the care canard. tournament is famous. anything can happen the wrestlers are 1st coded in olive oil to make it harder for the opponents to gain a whole. by of them has already won the title once 2 years ago. he wants to do it again. the bouts begins, the winner is the 1st to throw his opponent on his back. both struggle for the decisive whole then then is quit by them goes through to the next round
