the story 6 o'clock, don't take mommy to my son. your mom is not coming back. over february 2020 russian troops invaded the ukrainian city of the computer. it was recaptured. 6 months later the occupation was hard. how can life go on after all the terror? not everyone can do where the fear we felt every day when russia comes start to august 25th on dw, the

hello and it will welcome to focus on your up. it's great to have you with us and ukraine, the counter offensive against the russian of your patient is moving forward slowly . heavy fighting is reported, especially around the city of move in the country, east ukrainian presidents to landscape visited the troops there and late july. the city had been destroyed and captured by russian forces early and made. both sides are currently suffering heavy casualties and the $54.00 by to absorb the losses, new soldiers must be recruited and trade constantly. somebody even being trained directly behind the front lines. one of the recreating training kansas located nearby moved where the russian resistance is particularly strong. here, company commanders must work to integrate new arrivals into the eunice every day. they are faced with extremely dangerous situations, not only for themselves, but also for the new recruits. our portal and his crew experience this for sand

where they attended the training unit. it's the moment the attack subsides. we have been struck by rest and plus the bones, everybody to cover it wherever possible. as the situation comes down, we tried to make an exit we arrived shortly before to film a drill for so just joining a reconnaissance petune. most new recruits, some of soldiers who have been transferred from other units among the play to his job is providing fire cover for a tax. and so t's and i assume you says those which i a the most active so which is unfortunate, pretty good, wounded or killed. they dropped out of the unit. that's why we constantly have to recruit and usa, which is to fill our ranks and preserve come to the residence. as always we constantly have to train those that are available at the moment so that our unit can continue. it's fine. but i don't know what the national

and this is where there is no official figure. it is clear that the loss is so far have been high just a few moments as further infantry. so does the learning system and it may change as a wave of william t is joining the army has and more and more conscripts being drafted pressure to resupply. the units is high. the mobilized, scheduled ment, retraining another and hastily prepared for the duty nightingale that's as co sign was quoted in 2 months ago. but conditioning this, but of course i don't think we aware trained, there was a reason why regular service of the army usually lost more than 2 months. some more training would be necessary. but we are in a situation where a lot has broken down what we need to be fos to replenish. there is no time. it's

just for with, for with, for products, for all of storming enemy positions is one of the most dangerous operations assigned to the world. among the troops is that the soldiers 1st to talk is the most dangerous. for your family, anybody survives more than 3 on home to of i have already been at the front somewhere. let's just show it within the us. it's terrifying. to try to hide among the trees while you are just being so constantly with more to see if this gloves met them with the but, and nobody knows how much training they will get before you send to the front line

. the unit is fighting your buffalo just over 20 kilometers from this training ground near the tone of the soldiers are constantly rotating in and out of their positions. some of these instructors i've just been rotated in from the, from some veterans ship to training a new recruits because there was so badly wounded in fighting that they could not read to english on the new of course, there are differences between mobilized recruits and so which is, was the $56.00, so it's been 3 years. it was easy then we did not have to use as much time for the basics. but i still don't think the level of preparedness has dropped to supply when we have more experience. come on this now. we can prepare the recruits back of the training area where the reconnaissance platoon is being drilled. the company commander is getting used to. the challenge draining usage is instead of

experience troops grow. that's as cool assigned to you. i've seen many of his fellow soldiers being wounded or killed. muskets good. yeah, no, it's good that his name is can put, you know, it's hard to say how many, let's put it that way. of those who started together with me, many are gone. offices die as well as the 2 commanders, sergeant's privates. i don't want to count them much. honestly. that would be hard to bear. i myself was wounded twice. it's impossible to predict who is going to be hit when the color of the camera man was interested in this alley. as we speak to the hospital,

we see so which is rushing to have the wounded comrades wounded before they even reached the front with russia's invasion of ukraine, the mood in lots the is tense. the neighboring country was once a part of the soviet union before declaring independence. but that being culture has always helped the people to preserve the identity and heritage, especially through song and dance. every 5 years lab meals come together to celebrate in the song and dance festival. this year, left being born orleans and russian born alina, are taking part. it's a difficult time, especially for the russian minority and latvia, but the festival is bring everyone together. the how does the country express its freedom? unity and independence. deluxe. the young people do with, with song and don't. for the last 150 years, this country on the gold 60 has held

a traditional song. i'm dumb festival every 5 years. so there are people who simply can't live without this festival, who are of the smallest one. yes, been scratching, i'm crazy about music. it sustains me. it's in my blood, the pulse, the pressure on the mask from russia and almonds from the 2 cultures in one country. politically, it's an, an easy pairing, but at this festival it's irrelevant. here they are all one people the, the full, the show turn begin to perform as need lots of practice twice a week for 5 years. for russian senior on the night you go shave about these amenities,

pays her way to not be in 1998. she took pods from the festival for the 1st time when she was still living in moscow. but on the nose, insist to re, are him not to the moment you get to pick them. and i thought it was important to my mother. and then when i was 7, she took me to the left, the an embassy in moscow once a week before where there was a lucky and sunday schools, portable on that was the introduction to my life in heritage. what else that's focusing on when she was my only to new after school? years later on the trip to rico to sing with her client. i mean, i'm sending notes with the not the and capital in 2014, the most co native started a new life here today on the not teaches other law theme russian elementary school . while ali not expresses how not to be an identity through song moms expresses his through our minds p dot gross c bucks the women west and not be

a it is his 2nd passion. right? hosted on saying that's ok. ill know when my sister and i were live law, our parents took us until you apply for dancing lessons. back then we had to drive 10 kilometers to rehearse without my dancing. it's been an integral part of my life and the never sense of the, but i also style does no matter how much the festival brings people together, rushes war against ukraine has still such a strain on the nations between not beings and russians. a small percentage of the russian born population supports the pollution regime, but many lucky instance claimed the russian people for the room. so i cannot dividing that obviously the people there or not to blame for the war problem. it could be so, i mean russia is not the profit i, it's the leadership and we, and gosh, i knew about the civilians can't influence much at the moment. smelting felt that

they lacked the courage to stand up and say something somebody, i think we got the name of maybe but for us laughing, it also took years to get this far and retained freedom with a single revolution. yeah, this one guy like and god to come might have said there was no, i think there are the not to says she doesn't how the resentment towards the russian people for the war, nor is she indifferent about the face of her old homeland russia looking for that stuff example are beautiful. i've always felt sorry for the country off of the country, not the state for about a job. i always liked the people better than the state. i don't because it doesn't let them. when i lived in russia, i was actively involved in the opposite, in protests against the up and you, at some point, i realized it was hopeless. unfortunately, you have changed so nothing changes at the state level of income. but when i understood that it made me want to move even more to the to not to the west singing

and dancing on just hobbies, but the foundation of lot be an identity for one whole week. the song and dance festival captivates the nation begins with traditional parades through rico's old town and ends with a grand finale concert. just before the joint performance on the non ottomans get to know each other in person. hello, hello. they sing into the early hours of the next day, a 10 hours celebration of hope, confidence, and supports the animal welfare and the traditions of both valued highly. but when it comes to wailing, these values clash against each other. many people have no sympathy for hunting and slaughtering these intelligent marine mammals on the pharaoh islands. on the other

hand, people see things differently here. the drive hunting on wells has a centuries old tradition. that's also the case of the small village of good for residential young boy henderson. wally is a key part of his life and he's not thinking about giving it up towering above the north atlantic. the pharaoh islands are the very definition of rugged they were formed by volcanic activity, some 50000000 years ago. it's people live with and from the seat still their principal source for a 10 year old. your who grew up in the fishing village of get the trains all summer in old robots for, for going off to work in a local museum. the museum deals with one of the pharaohs most controversial, traditional, the pilot way, a lot of some older somebody on there. i think this one's so this was

the way of life and it's a bit longer than normal fishing my for but it's not very effective. so when the ways we come up to tour, you just step within it and you would hope for the best the world hunting tradition has a serious history. the land on the islands is scarce and barely fertile. so for many centuries, the inhabitants of the islands had to go out to sea using only simple robots, they drove the mammals into their fjords and slaughter them in the shallow water. the ferry always still hunt this way, only today, the weapons they use have changed. so these are just the way and it is very simple. it's very, it's way more humane than the nice. i hope the position lives on a couple of dish international animal rights activists hold for the opposite. the

members of the c shepherd society have arrived on the islands to stop the pilot whale hunt. among them. is it like sun drelick for a marine biologist from poland or i just go on the website you can find what's happening here. yeah, i'm just just set something to i personally thing shouldn't be happening anymore. they've been doing it for so many years. it is a tradition for them. that's what they've been doing to survive as well. what's the problem and our view is that it's not necessary anymore. so necessary suffering for the on the last the active discharge of document on using drunk. it's like one of the maybe worst things is the chase before the actual hunch can take hours because you can see the way they're swimming now isn't it isn't casual anymore. so at this point they're, they're, they're running away. right? they're, they're in, in, in fear. pilot whales are in the dolphin family. they are social and live in groups

called pods. the for, i always say golf and populations are not endangered. once a part of wales is cited by the pharaoh, we use the alarm is sound. the villagers set out in motor boats to drive the mammals into a dead at the entire village stands waiting at the beach, men, women, and children. every one joins them together and a folded whales online only knows what hunting licenses are allowed to kill them. then the 6 major long animals are cut up. the hunts is not commercial. the whale meat is distributed free of charge. this is one of our few locally we have potatoes, fish, cheap the to this day the pharaoh east

consume the whales, meats and blubber. they preserve it, and servants, on special occasions there who's missing family hits, hooked it up as a kind of a through lunch. and everyday meal here. looks. goodness ok. there are millions of pix being hills every day. we kill a few. yeah. maybe $500.00 a year or something. i think there are about 500000 pilots where sure stacy is the traditional fairly use 100 any more cruel than factory farming and many other countries the animal rights activists from c shepherd can't understand the logic. in this standpoint, those are the ones that had to go by before the volume was that we need as a society, all different people. if they didn't, they were just raised to be killed. we don't think that's what they do is either we

think it's very wrong. their mission on the federal islands is likely to go on for quite some time. there are no plans to put it in to the whale and often hunt so far this year. some 500 animals have already been killed here. well enough, germany's most popular tourist destinations is this free forest, not only for foreign visitors, but also for residents of the nearby capital build. it's a wide ranging wat escape where a visit is left to drift on boats to ideally canals and tiny rivers if there is enough water to place us at risk of crying up soon. the reason, however, is not quite related to climate change and has more to do with political decisions made and build. they are causing residents like the maya, a severe headache i derek my or is it just element water that

is here in northern? germany's shrivelled, mister myer makes his living running hotels and a harbor for boats. the area attracts many tourists, but mister myer knows there's brave old is changing, then listen, doesn't this, we can't forget that for the past 1560 years we've been lucky. what's the hotel? there were no water shortages. so if anything we had too much of us on those times or over in 2019 water levels receded in the spray volt canals and rivers dried up at the time. it was an exception caused by the heat and lack of rain, but experts like ingles arnold warren. this could be the future of disapproval and then monday, if we don't do anything the entire system will collapse. is majorly impacting basically if i got to from fighting for the inch quite a while. the reason lies in the ground caufield right next door open. pit mining here involves digging out huge pets and pumping out enormous volumes of ground

water. this used to end up industry, but germany is putting an end to brown coal, meaning no more pumping. and no more ground water to feed the spray the neck won't allow us to come. once we stop mining call and stop pumping out ground water, we will just have to live with the natural water level. if we don't get much rain in the summer, small rivers could dry up, even though these are talking fine could there's revolved, could end up looking like it did before. coal mining, when the forest sometimes overflowed and sometimes dried up, bringing consequences for tourism and causing other problems. present mistesia, the pessimistic scenario for 25 years from now is that dry summers will see very limited water tourism also for when berlin will actually have to ration water and embedded in lots. lots. many of the most of the, after all disagree, also flows through berlin and isn't just for boating. 40 percent of the german

capitals drinking water comes from the spray. if levels fall significantly, water could run short environmental as they're demanding that drastic steps be taken immediately. a loss. now we must take action in this grave all to keep the water in the landscape of her. we need to protect the thoughts and feel back in canals that were expanded to accommodate the extra water from coal mine animal, a flu systems. and that will cost money to work about $3000.00. yeah. but if it does get cost, restoring the canals could spell the end for many spray of of both tours that are popular with taurus. display of all of them. that would be terrible. that's what makes display volts so great the rivers, the water, and the nature, you know, to what other city is to use tourism revenue. i hope that will work here to the new pen is now charge and starters that are so we should do that with day to rest here . besides the obvious practice,

we should conserve. a spray involves unique character once a month. so it should come up with a joint solution together with engineers, landscape architect and environmental, this i, the name is yours, and it would certainly take a lot of money. all the ideas for saving this pre involved are costly, controversial. one suggestion is to flip the abandon mining pads that would create huge lakes like be caught booster or say the water could then be diverted into the spray as needed. does he have a i know that the lake surface area spans about 2000 heavier as far in the month. and if you keep just on one meters depth isn't as a reserve along that line, you can store 20000000 cubic meters of water and release. it to full until there's plenty of oddities on in the summer, and we still have quite a lot it up to the museum, but then these lakes would have to look completely different. but we'll see kind of the compass are all st. can't have a vast surface area that leads to more evaporation. the surface area has to be

small and the depth very d t side. another idea is to divert water into those free from adjacent rivers like the older. but the odor is also impacted by water shortages, especially in the summer. not to mention the environmental, this demand that the mining company shoulder, most of the burden and not the state. to our request for comments. the brown coal company, l e, a g responded that they were aware of the experts study the state of brandon burke's that it was too early to initiate specific measures. and the berlin government has yet to assess the situation. but mister myers says the clock is ticking because it's already too late. it'll take another 20 years to implement such a planning. we've known about this for a 100 years and have to get our act together for them as mentors and click on the

people of display of all know the days are numbered for the idyllic floor as they call home and change is sure to come. no, i would like to introduce you to the british musician on the left. what the young woman is a passionate oregon this and plays regularly at the memphis center royal, albert hall, london's most iconic music venue. but went on a place here. she doesn't she applause a walrus of bravo. it's strange as a musical recordings have reached a wide audience all over the world. hello, i'm a lot put, i'm an organist and i'm sitting here at the moving of the royal elbow. so now i spend quite a lot of time filming little videos here to try and bring this amazing instruments to as many people as possible. the 9999 pipes, shake the concert hall to its foundations and give an elaborate a child like through when playing her instrument from midnight to 6. a in every few
