to be hugley, the sample size and the team 60 minutes on the board or sports, all the scoring we say they were about never giving up sports flies every weekend 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 the 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 in may. both sides are currently suffering heavy casualties and the 5 for the move 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 between 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 try to make our exit we arrived shortly before to film a drill for so just joining a reconnaissance petune most are new recruits. some also which is why i've been transferred from other units among the play to his job is providing fire cover for a text. and so to use and i assume you says those which i a, the most active sewage is unfortunately good wounded or killed. they dropped out of the unit. that's why we constantly have to recruit new soldiers to fill our ranks and preserve, come to drag and 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 weather is, no official figure, it is clear that the loss is so 5 feet high, just

a few moments as for the infantry, so which is the ending system. and it may change as a wave of william t is joining the army has and more and more conscripts are being drafted pressure to resupply. the units is high to mobilize, scheduled ment retraining, and then hastily prepared so that you a nightingale. that's as cold lions 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 out of the army usually last. it's more than 2 months . so more training would be necessary. but we are in a situation where you're locked as broken down. what we need to be for us to replenish that. there is no time, it's just full with 4 with 4 products for the right

of storming enemy positions is one of the most dangerous operations in time to go. the word among the troops is that soldiers 1st to talk as the most dangerous for you on the other side. sadly, anybody survives more than 3 on home to i have already been at the front somewhere, but just show it within this. it's terrifying. to try to hide among the trees while you are just being so constantly with them or to get this. if this gloves met them with the but nobody knows how much training they will get before being sent to the front line. the unit is fighting nearby for just over 20 kilometers from this training ground near the town of the

a sewage is constantly rotating in and out of the positions. some of these instructors i've just been rotated in from the, from some veterans ship to training new recruits because there was so badly wounded in fighting that they could not re to which on the new of course there are differences between mobilized recruits and so which is was the $56.00 oceans and 3 is, 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 drunk to. we have more experience. come on this now. we can prepare the recruits back at the training area where the reconnaissance platoon is being drilled. the company commander is getting used to the challenge training usa, which is instead of experience troops. gro, that's as cool assigned to you. i've seen many of his fellow soldiers being wounded

or killed west coast. yeah, no, it's scheduled doctor's name is kim fortune of. 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 a privates. i don't want to count them 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 chip or camera man was interested in the selling speed 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 and lock the tents. 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 in latvia, but the festival is bring everyone together. the, how does the country express its freedom units and independence? deluxe the young people do it with song and don't. for the last 150 years, this country on the politics 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 wrote the scholars to me when you have been searching. i'm crazy about music. it sustains me . it's in my blood at the cost of production. i lean us from russia and almonds from lot to cultures in one country. politically. it's an easy pairing, but at this festival it's irrelevant. here they are, all one people the, the full, the show turn because the performers need lots of practice twice a week for 5 years from russian singer on the night. you go shave out these melodies, pays her way to not be out. in 1998 she took pods from the festival for the 1st time when she was still living in moscow. 2 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 is that folks moving? she was my only to new after school years later on the trip to re god's this thing with her clients. i mean, i'm sending it out with the not the and capital in 2014, the most co, native started a new life here today on the not teaches other law liam russian elementary school. while i li not expresses her not to be an identity through song of moms, expresses his through our minds p dot gross c bucks. so women west and not be a it is his 2nd passion, right? hosted on saying let's talk, you know, 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 about my dancing. it's been an integral part of my life and the never sense of that out. so style does no matter how much the festival brings people together, rushes war against ukraine has still such a strain of relations between latvians 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 problem. yeah. it's the leadership and we're in gosh, on the about. the civilians can't influence much at the moment, smell fixed itself. if they lacked the courage to stand up and say something they say money, i think we got the members 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 got 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 and different about the face of her old homeland russia looking for that stuff example i've used now, 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 from nothing changes at the state level. and when i understood that it made me want to move even more to the to not to be a 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. it's 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 are 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 dr. hunting on wales has a centuries old tradition. that's also the case of the small village of good for

residential young boy edison. wally is a key part of his life and he's not thinking about giving it up a 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 of a 10 year old 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 pharaoh's most controversial traditions the pilot, the 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

way as we come up the tour, you just step within it. and you would hope for the best the way lansing 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 used in the world 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 alexandra lex bar,

a marine biologist from poland. there i just go on the website, you can find what's happening here. it's just a side, something that i personally think 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, goes on necessary, suffering 40 on the active list. try to document on using drones like one of the maybe worse things is to chase before the actual hunch can take hours. because you can see the way they're swimming now isn't it isn't castle 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 federal ease,

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. they pull the whales online, only knows what hunting licenses are allowed to kill them. then the 6 major long animals are cut up. the hunt is not commercial. the whale media is distributed free of charge. this is one of our few locally, we have potatoes, fish cheap, is important. to this day, the pharaoh east consume the whales, meats and blubber. they preserve it, and servants on special occasions. so there who's missing family has

hooked it up as a kind of rulers and everyday meal. here's looks. genesis ok. there are millions of picks being healed every day. we kill a few. yeah. maybe $500.00 a year or something. i think there are about 500000 by the way as far as what the stacy is the traditional fairly is hans. any more cruel than factory farming and many other countries. the animal rights activists from c shepherd can understand the logic. in this standpoint, those on it was they had to go buy the products and the most of the, he does the society out of his people. if they didn't, they were just raised to the killed. we don't say 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 an end to the well,

and dolphin 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 visitors left to drift on boats to ideally canals and the tiny rivers. if there is enough water to place us at risk of trying up to the reason. however, it 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 derek meyer is in his element. water that is here in northern germany's shrivelled, mister myer makes his living renting hotels and a harbor for boats. the area attracts many tourists, but mister meyer 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, received it 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 to 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 this revolve 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 of 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 lists are demanding that drastic steps be

taken immediately. a loss now we must take action in the spray of all to keep the water and 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 the other city. so use tourism revenue. i hope that will work here to the event 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 abandoned mining pads. that would create huge lakes like be caught booster or say the water could then be diverted into the spray as needed. dessie had also, i know that the lake surface area spans about 2000 hector 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 evaporates on the surface area has to be small and the depth very d t. so 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 comment. 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 that them doesn't. it doesn't click on the people of this brave old know the days are numbered for the idyllic floor as they call home and change is sure to come. no,
