just because of her character because of her courage and how she thinks no screen. so today, wise mother annoyed for nearly 4 decades. she's for peace for me, for brace of freedoms in their homeland. they run, in spite of love buried, to tries or children should not inherit science from us the an income. if you look into the nice just the thoughts july 29th on t w. the high welcome to focus on europe. 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. no

prospects of an end are bleak. as 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. so 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 flutter on the front line and were horrified by the idea of killing ukrainian soldiers. one of them said to georgia, the other 2 causes 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's. you have it's 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 off of the sale to me, it was all or nothing. i thought either i'll go to prison for many years because i left my army unit where i'll die somewhere and ukraine, any of your thoughts on even though what to look at it. so i'd rather go to prison . yes. okay, so we'll say i thought i would assume i'm, 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. the value this lottery as ego, our son, jeez, calls the war and ukraine is deadly. he says the latest media reports say it's cost tens of thousands depression lives. currently, none of the figures can be confirmed. many of those called up last year under

pollutants mobilization order were fathers and many came from russia's pores, 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 i know that sometimes nobody knows who the commanding officers are, but it is lead to 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 taught anything that the entire training consists of firing a machine gun once 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 here 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'll get my degree know nikita realizes how no 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 less 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 had 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 the question of life and death. ego in nikita know that in russia disorders, faith, long prison sentences cause enough for their 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 of 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. the continue,

you can expect either prison or ukraine at the front. you know, almost a show. some of the state media are giving the russians the impression that personnel are in short supply and men of working age to go to the front of a cell phone that they'll chest and we 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 and erosion has heavily

affected the coast of the country. and 2nd locals. i've often been treating nature just to carelessly albini as the goons in the north of the country seem like paradise dental. she says she 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 she wasn't going to go for it. since the moment these craft entered is only doing, there's been fewer faced, fewer model, subject them up from one year to the next week, which was this laguna was amazing. in the past, you could catch thousands of kilos to fish of our old kind of falls. 0 is if it does is on the me. i agree. and trying to cool 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 said he's an environmental list in the region and observes

bio diversity video that we have to over there is deandre. i take seen and this is really good. ex, still ending between the 2 is shrinking. he says, due to climate change, 3, we have moved maritime storms, erosion, high temperatures, floods, you, all of this has been affecting the good or anything. if that is it. the sea will swallow 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 is 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, you'd be maybe we will lose another role. new hotels are also being built, locals fee or the construction will speed up your ocean fat, 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. when i did, they usually 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, 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 the 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. well, binion government should be doing much more to stop your ocean. he said, we are headed to the capital toronto and the environmental ministry. we need claudia and america. she starts with coastal conservation. what we suffer is deemed invitation the lack of the financial resources and also of the human resources. because when we're talking about the financial 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 into the good corner of the existential threat, is growing for people who make their living here. says that they come on call because the this yeah, 3 law advisors are 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 to be made the most of the times when he pulled in key laughter, key little fish alone go more and more fishermen 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 la, 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 sweet and 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. suave accompanied by culture in art, we're really happy to be headed to drop off for the weekend. i think it'll be great, and we'll even taking some culture on the train on there's supposed to be a concert later. apparently was the 5 i have never actually been to poland.

it's exciting because i grew up in east germany. your think i would have been on their minds like it is 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 round their 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 fast or year city tre.

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 fault glory. you could say, i thought it might be a bit more fun, a bit more chic, but hey, of the bank for other passengers. polk lori 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. growth. swab is a bustling city, full of loss, hip music scene pods, clubs, or in the evening by the river. and there standing modern art here to the francis the claimants and the other culture train passengers take the weekend to explore the city. we were a group on the train home to listen to their impressions as found, the find what we really noticed on our trip is how seldom we look to the east. our polish and check neighbors aren't on our radar nearly as much as our westerly

neighbors misplaced the window, shut those in. and that's one of the culture trained teams objectives, to encourage people to explore their neighboring country through culture, to travel consciously. it's even on the left, leaving people aren't just glued to their laptops, like in euro, city and interest, city trains. sometimes it does when 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 screened. historically, my focus to type learn 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 good claimants have to look forward to when they return roma often experienced discrimination and 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, my truce, i didn't, john and byron has been practice in this sport and they're both most 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 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 prejudice. 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 home by of them has already won the title once 2 years ago. he wants to do it again. the bouts begins. the winter is the 1st to throw his opponents on his back. both struggle for the decisive hold. the bend in his quick byrom goes through to the next round.

by adam's younger brother, item john is also competing today. the 13 year old wants to follow his brothers lead by home has already made it into an athletic development program. if i done so on, wins the tournament, he might get into i'm nervous, but i've trained hard to win. total i'm shown is already won 3 rounds in this tournament and is now in the semi finals . and within a few minutes, he is one again, it's evening and the brothers neighborhood. only roma lived here with their mother stuff. the news is preparing dinner. she is a mentally proud of her son success. even though it has not always been easy.

as long suffer from such prejudices. sorry, any incident. i think this is the best way i can represent the roma room on the end of my success so far speaks for itself. yeah, the roman model is that a lot of roma, especially in my neighborhood called me the rose of the roma. romano expired on the stern in the reno just before the round ears tense because he has just learned that his opponent is 2 years older and inexperienced. breslin by um fights well. after 20 minutes they take a short break. before the round goes into extra time. and again, back and forth for some minutes. but

in the end it's not enough bye of them loses younger brother is only one, went away from the tide. gives him some less tips and i don't, son is the term. i've trained well in all the the champion items sounds opponents, his strong to like his brother is a 13 year old spouse goes into extra time. the items on celebrates what is the fight over the referee hesitates. i dont john has one now there is no holding back the other why is reserved for him to run my brothers and one great dream to fight their way to the to
