3:33 pm
there is the famous thing that history repeats itself. we would love to believe that the world is a better place than it used to be. but unfortunately, we do see we are seeing a big rise and anti semitism right now, all over the world or a story. she's offered the sites to the associations of hon gearing and do crating . jewish communities rent free and it's closely guarded, but hungary, on to migrant rhetoric hasn't changed. people here already had the right to travel to the country as you've crating, or is really nationals the right to and government to budapest has faced accusations of feeling divisions and dealing an anti semitic troops. in the past. bought agencies, it has a 0 tolerance policy and anti semitism in early october. pray minister victor or bon bonded, old protest and solidarity with palestinians branding them as pro terror. that's something by by shlomo corvette she believes, helps create a sense of safety. yes,
3:34 pm
i think demonstrations of such so much shouldn't be bad. hungry has a, it's the society, some level of anti semitic editors just like a other unfortunately, just like in most societies in the world. but there's almost no physical attacks on jewish institutions or are or no physical atrocities. beautiful, some feel secure. others feel silenced. the small memorial outside the posted in mission is the only place god subordinate content from it. that may god he can come to voice his grief and anger. it's really sad that you can speak when. what do you see in your heart or express your emotions after the treasure, the events that we have in the last few days? for ramadan, the tragedies, personal optis apartment to shows us photos of loved ones. last, after his family home was hit, mid israel's massive, bombardments, have gone. so i lost my father, my mother,
3:35 pm
and my sister. my grandpa. 20 to from my 1st degree family. oh yeah, it's really sad to see the pictures on to know that you're not going to see them in the reality. more wish did you monitoring catastrophe and costs are growing more dire? daily ramadan has reconciled himself just one hope just to continue the life with the remaining go. what they have, not those that have regardless packet like valid on residents turn to face twin, division, and suffering. make it hard to see any way ahead. we hope and pray every day that this world and people don't want this war. and people want to live in peace, have families friends at the lake sides. the fault before feels a 1000000 miles away with their future on certain mental knows his family is lucky
3:36 pm
to find refuge here for no, because for so many more, safety is still active reach. this also applies to natalia or san sky, or from ukraine. she lives less than 30 kilometers from the front lines where the russian and ukrainian soldiers are engaged in fierce battles. fighting for every meter and trying to recapture positions. the situation remains particularly dangerous in the east of ukraine, still occupied by the russian military and especially around separation where europe, the largest nuclear plant is located. nevertheless, natalia chan sky returned to her hometown. she wants to defy the danger and to start rebuilding. and she's doing it for the people she loves the most. a symmetry near is that for risha, every day fresh graves are added natalia ocean scott took us to the grave of his
3:37 pm
tongue. a don yard joined a volunteer battalion. he was killed when russian tanks attacked his position. natalia came here to mourn at his grave every day for 6 months. yeah. what was the new then? i realize that done, you wouldn't want to see me in tears and such pain. but because he was always so positive, logan will do, and i threw myself into my work and family would be, yep, it is the one that saves me a boat through the atanya is an entrepreneur, ends up a ratio at one time, an ideal socialist plan, city built during the style in iraq, a wide boulevard run through the center. the many people here once stripped of
3:38 pm
a restoration of the soviet union. now natalia explains, the city has become a symbol of resistance to the russian invasion. is that a lot, you know, lots of people have finally understood that everything happening now as a consequence of the soviet era greater russian patriotism, the russians have always tried to eliminate us from suppressing our language to committing genocide. we've been natalia as such and they will not succeed in 2022. when russian troops occupied the area, they almost completely destroyed natal. these production east of separation of the family escaped now with the front line still only 30 kilometers away. she's decided to rebuild her operation. it's a challenge, not least because new work is a hard to find the venetian youth. many people have been displaced. many residents have left parisha and internal
3:39 pm
refugees of taking their place. but they don't necessarily have the right training and they're not fully up to the tasks you may need. lots of support for little family business makes organic products among the best sellers, jams, energy buys and juices made of corneo cherries, a fruit reaching vitamin. see the taste lies somewhere between crim relay and passion fruit. the chair is a common in ukraine where they traditionally use the calls explains natalia, whose husband was getting them equally. what long ago, when the wandering healers came through, they didn't bother with the villages where coronel cherry trees were growing because they thought the people there didn't fall ill or need any doctors eventually the couple of hard to export their products. but for now, they have to focus on getting back on their feet and you trained dimensions because
3:40 pm
we have fewer revenues now since so many people are gone or they have no money and our products are high quality and not cheap. so even with air raid sirens blaring several times a day, their employees stay on the weekly we've gotten used to it by now. i definitely don't want to leave my country. we never even used to give any thought to how much we love our country. most people often they watch old videos, the family can no longer reach that form. the origins east is that for russia bar in the way, the dragon teeth and mine fields laid by the russians. don, you had lost his life in the summer of 2022, sag a and natalia have dedicated the rebuilding of their business to him. they planned
3:41 pm
for their daughter lisa to take over the company some day. my brother was 24 years old when he died. that told us to live in the now, this is a to have fun while we can 30 kilometers away. people are dying. it's a true hell on earth. and so i'm glad of every day that i wake up in my own bed. starting i the ends that parisha of to everything, the families being through won't be easy. every sort and action is overshadowed by the war, along with a constant anxiety about the nuclear power plant. just 50 kilometers away. so it's, it's a family for the subject keeps coming up and conversation and is a constant source of tension. but somehow we block it out. we're right on the front
3:42 pm
line here, and we have to live with this ever present danger. the ones who couldn't live with it have gone away. only the most resilient state on natalia comes to this place as often as she can to get the new strength to say we here was that the spirit of the close tax is all around and you can feel their strength. so i often come here to feel the air that the strong people or the invincible warriors once breached, correct that and again, when the people in the bottom was near the rebellious cossacks who valued freedom above all else. that's a heritage says natalia, and it may well be the source of inspiration for the spirit of resistance, alive and well in separation to men's has been raising pigs for thousands of years. this particular breed would not be standing here if pharma
3:43 pm
volta all and hadn't recognized the potential. it's has especially when it comes to its taste well and owns a pig farm in eastern germany right on the former territory of the german democratic republic in a village called dendrites. insects and me on hold. and the story of former east germany is closely linked to that of orleans pigs of the like, coma, fattening pig is destined for a short life. but this breed almost vanished altogether along with the former german democratic republic. the like, coma pig was bred in this region with its per tile soil like coma breed, still exist. things devoured to learn. but he is likely its last breeder around 2500 like home a table. it's important at his farm every year. we finally have and we will take
3:44 pm
them to a stage locked in the next village. 10 kilometers away from the widow states for the next 10 or 11 months until they weigh a 180 killers, then they're ready for slaughter. it's their fate. after all, like home is an abbreviation for light sink caulked loose and active are the 3 east german regions where the pigs were bred in factory farms and feed lots like this. 170000 pigs were kept packed into close confines with automated feeding. above all for lucrative pork exports to the west. but this came with obstacles to like coma peg wasn't well suited to this kind of breeding environment. the reason they individualistic stubborn with
3:45 pm
a mind the right thing they conditions in the big facilities went easy for the animals and each pig had to struggle to get by the offices. gibson does like live. com before things really came to a head on the farms. the entire ddr and the like, coma tag came doing it. western breeds were more profitable, were unified. germany almost allowed to like wants to die out of the intel voucher derived from the netherlands. and recognize the potential of the east german pay. on his farm and rule sacks me on, hold like home. is there a loud out into the fresh air come rain or shine it isn't the hottest dead tough pigs. and the actually much better suited to today is a free range bombing, then highly productive conventional picks up a convention. now that's my shaggy versus protective pig skin from the sun
3:46 pm
in the early morning and berlin. the next stages of production are underway this premium, but here is one, a voucher lends a regular customers. today he's taking a shipment of like coma, pork sides. the men have their work cut out for them and the heavier than other pigs. and these ones are especially heavy, these are really big pieces. there's plenty of fat on the red. and the meat looks different from supermarket produce, like oma like home, and the heat is naturally doc in color. nowadays, most conventional pork actually looks more like chicken breast butcher mark who spencer is convinced by the like home, a pig, an east german, these decision to breed in the g d. i was trying to
3:47 pm
revive a classic fun pink because they recognized exactly what i've recognized that traditional methods don't work well with modern industrial animal from english to move down in industry. the people who loved to hear that everything was bad and the so that i can tell you this, this was a really good idea, a really good initiatives. the lawns also sell like home or products and their farm shop. at higher price has been standard supermarket goods. keeping the animals is more expensive than it was in ddr times. but the breeders have no interest in the factory farming . that's awful. let me know. maybe we don't have to eat, need to every day, eating
3:48 pm
a little less would be better for the climate, for the environment and for the animals to. yeah. let me see the minus sign. do i have to put them in pens and pack them in as tightly as back then i'd have to close down the photos. i wouldn't become a vegetarian well, but i wouldn't enjoy breathing picks anymore. diabetes kind of forwarded me a label on these financial met with a gentle touch for a tough peggy. this is how bout are learned once to continue with animal farming. even under democracy. in times of declining the consumption. on average, women live longer than men, but these british ladies did not want to grow old alone. and so they took matters into their own hands and came up with a special housing project in north london. residents have to meet 2 requirements. they have to be women, and they have to be older than 50. over the years, the place has become a home for true community and deep friendships,
3:49 pm
or enjoying day to day life together. heavy, ardent, and charlotte valesh, i'd love to meet up in their shared garden. we will share this desire to be part of the community. and you know, especially when you get to my age, i don't go walking as much anymore. it's not for everybody, but i think it's wonderful. it's been wonderful for me. there are 26 women over 50, living in new ground, co housing in north london. each has her own apartment. but there's always someone around in the communal lounge to chap live at 94 heavy arch into the oldest. she joined 12 years ago after her partner passed away. and i didn't want certain that to move into a new sort of residential facility. and at the same time, i realized that my daughters with going to worry about me all the time being on my
3:50 pm
own. and then i began to worry about my daughter's worrying. and i suppose it was time to look around for some tentative way of living. there must be something it took 18 years for this vision of a small housing, a state to finally become a reality. the founders have to fight against a lot of bureaucracy and against the misconception that so many older people in one place could overburden the social and care services by avoiding isolation and supporting each other. i think we've probably, well, definitely been less of a button on social services that we would be. and if we'd each lift donato heavy arch and can easily pop over to visit her neighbor or hillary vernon smith, an artist. oh,
3:51 pm
men is looking for both women. it's reassuring to know that someone is always around in case they need any help to change. and i think as i age i, if i'm going to help out other people, i think it slightly easier to help women than it is to help my male friends. and women are in much more need of housing as they get older than men. certainly in my generation, it was the women who usually lived longer than the men, so were left on their own. men are certainly welcome, but only as visitors we have lots of mile visitors. we have brothers, we have grandchildren, you know, we have gotten into a mile where you, so we have a lot of men around. but they cannot live here. living only with women is appealing so many. surely. guardianship is in the mid sixties. and
3:52 pm
recently applied for rim, but there was a long waiting list. she doesn't see the no manual is a problem. if one gets involved with someone, a serious level, then as in any way shape you have that conversation, where should we live? she doesn't, she doesn't work. the women are proud of the community they've built. they're completely self organized. all decisions are made collectively without hierarchy. when that's 26 of you know, it's sometimes it's hard to get everybody's opinion. it's hard to get consensus. you can end up talking about very small things actually very well. it seemed like kind of t things like it might be finding community at times. even if it is occasionally difficult. the women see themselves as pioneers and hope that the authors will
3:53 pm
follow in their footsteps. community instead of boredom, i mean support instead of isolation, they, each one of us is very different from everybody else, and that's great. but we will share this desire to be part of the community to look out for each other without looking off to reach out. this is precisely how friends heavy, urgent, and charlotte polish want to live self determined and independent into old age. so one of the things i love about this. so is that once in a while we get to present to you the craziest competitions taking place in europe? it's pumpkin season right now and in belgium. these giant vegetables are not only used for making slips and halloween decorations in the small town of casserly. they know that pumpkins can be used in ways that are much more fun. these
3:54 pm
pumpkins aren't just good for suit. they're also used to racing testily. he's the bandwidth at 8 30, am a few pauses of the say, the so transformed the 500 killer, based into racing, by something practical, said the men of the gro was association. they can deliver size, but not much depth to the if you tip, that's it. you land in the water room in the women's teams then into totals take on the dancing. this one's the lot to have the home field advantage. you can do. we think it's a privilege that we can represent less. it'd be in a pumpkin when the green thing has a recipe for success, you'll have to spread the legs put together, put your bottles deep under water. i'm not drinking the day before, but that's not the boats are assigned by drawing lots of
3:55 pm
rubber ducks, squeaks the starting signal in the full by 100 relay. the digital photos are in the elements spot, the dancing swans lead until they spring a lake. they struggling back into the bose and back into the race. they finish with the time of 6 minutes 46 seconds, a personal best in india, totals more to the ninja coming forth of it's very cool. nice, great. yeah, yeah, it's very high. and what did you make again, i didn't hear it. and now the all or some delicious pumpkin soup to warm themselves up. that's loosely focused on europe,
