they called for an immediate cease fire and an end to israeli attacks and got them in paris around a 100000 participants protested against increasing anti semitism in france. they also called for unity encountering hatred against you. many people have left israel out of fear of further attacks. among them is mendel. most kavitsky found refuge in hungary home to one of the largest jewish communities in europe. most of its and his family have moved into a place right on the shore of lake bella told him here they and other jewish refugees can recover from the terrible events back home scenes of serenity after the chaos of conflict. people arising from me through it, this shelter on the banks of hungary lake by which on save, it's a godsend. and it's, it's a miracle with insight signs of jewish prayer, fill and improvise. to synagogue children sing songs in hebrews and kitchen

stuff, cook kosher food for 200 residents. many of them are mothers who fled hungry after them off the tax. it was very quiet for my children to hear the booms and it's was crazy. i leave the order, they were afraid, this was how much food they're going to do to us. so we were of actuated, she decided to come here to hungry, which has one of the largest jewish populations in central eastern europe. locals transformed this once abandoned resort into a refugee center after russia's war began last year. for some of the new residents seeking refuge is nothing you mental most of it states eastern ukraine with his family last year on fund a new home and southern israel. only defined himself faced with war on his doorstep once again last month. feeling all too familiar throughout history just had been

evacuated. jews have been expelled from their home countries many, many, many times over. and unfortunately, 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 service. he's offered the sites to the associations of hon gearing and ukrainian jewish communities rent free and it's closely guarded. but hungary, on team like 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, both agencies, it has a 0 tolerance policy and anti semitism in early october, pray minister victor or bon bonded old protests and so with our to with palestinians branding them as pro terror. that's something by by shlomo corvette

she believes, helps create a sense of safety. yes, i think demonstrations of such so much shouldn't be bad. hungry has a, it's the society, some level of anti semitic editor. it's just like a other unfortunately, just like in most societies in the world, but there's almost no physical attacks on jewish institutions. a r r r, 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 is 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. and my sister. my grandpa. 22 from my 1st degree. from any oh yeah, it's really sad to see the pictures on to know that you're not going to see them in reality. more wish did you, monitoring catastrophe and costs are growing more dire daily from a down has reconciled himself just one hope just to continue the life with the remaining go what they have, not those that have regardless packet lake valid on residents turn to face when 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 default before feels

a 1000000 miles away with their future on certain mental knows his family is lucky 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 neater 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, natalie ocean 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. as symmetry near is that for ratio,

every day fresh graves are added natalia ocean scott took us to the grave of us on the a. don ja joined a volunteer battalion. he was killed when russian tanks attacked his position. natalia came here to mona. these grave every day for 6 months. yeah. renew. then i realize that don, you know, wouldn't want to see me in tears and such pain because he was always so positive looking well. and i threw myself into my work and family would be. yep. and that saved me. oh boy, through the atanya is an entrepreneur in is that for ratio at one time, an ideal socialist plan, city built during the style in era, a wide boulevard run through the center. the many people here once tramped of

a restoration of the soviet union. now, natalia explains, the city has become a symbol of resistance to the russian invasion. is that a smooth, bought human life if 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 people. but natalia is such and they will not succeed in 2022, when russian troops occupied the area, they almost completely destroyed natal. these production east of separation 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 as a hard to find the venetian you.

many people have been displaced. many residents have left that parisha and internal 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. her little family business makes organic products. among the best sellers, jams, energy buys, and juice is made of corneo cherries, a fruit reaching vitamin. see the taste lies somewhere between crammed relay and passion fruit. the cherry is a common in ukraine, where they traditionally use the coals explains natalia, whose husband was getting them because it wasn't long ago when the wandering healers came through 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 hope to export their products. but for now,

they have to focus on getting back on their feet in ukraine mentions because 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, not the most often they watch old videos. the family can no longer reach that form, which is east of that parisha bar in the way of the drag and teeth and mine fields laid by the russians. done. he had lost his life. in the summer of 2022

sat, gay and natalia have dedicated the rebuilding of the business to him. they planned for the daughter lisa to take over the company some day. my brother was 24 years old when he died. that taught 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 to the subject keeps coming up in conversation and is

a constant source of tension. but somehow we block it out. we're right on the front 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 silly me here was that the spirit of the co sacks is all around and you can feel their strength. so i often come here to feel the air that the strong people are the invincible warriors once breached, fairly came 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. a humans have been raising pigs

for thousands of years. this particular breed would not be standing here if pharma 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 william's 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 this farm every year. we finally have and we will take them to a feed, 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 the 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 that the offices. gibson does like live calm before things really came to a head on the farms. the entire ddr and the like. coma pig came doing it. western breathes 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 hot to the 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

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 dock in color. nowadays, most conventional pork actually looks more like chicken breast which are 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 revive a classic fun pink because they recognized exactly what i've recognized that traditional methods don't work well with modern industrial animal finding some more down than industry the past. some people loved to hear that everything was bad and the so that i can tell you this was a really good idea, a really good initiatives. the loans 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 factory farming. that's

awful. let me know. maybe we don't have to eat need to every day. eating a little less would be better for the climate, for the environment and for the animals to. yeah, let me see the minus why and if i had to put them in pins and pack them in as tightly as back, then i'd have to close down. that's go to i wouldn't become a vegetarian, but i wouldn't enjoy reading picks anymore. davia these kind of forwarded me a label on these financing with a gentle touch for a tough of peggy. this is how bout are learned once to continue with animal farming . even under democracy and in times of declining the consumption on average women live longer than men. but these british ladies did not want to grow all the 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. and the place has become a home for a true community and deep friendships are 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 beach has her own apartment. but there's always someone around in the communal lounge to chat with at $94.00 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 were going to worry about me all the time being on my own. and then i began to worry about my daughters worrying, and i thought 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 estate 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. then we would have been if we'd each lift on our own heavy arch and can easily pop over to visit her neighbor or hillary vernon smith,

an artist. oh ma'am 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 i get older than men. certainly in my generation, it was the women to usually live longer than the men, so were left on their own. men are certainly welcome, but only as visitors we have lots in my office at 1st. 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 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 on serious level, then as in any relationship 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 seat themselves as pioneers and hope that the authors will 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 you on the edge of this is precisely how friends heavy, urgent, and charlotte valesh want to live self determined and independent into old age. so one of the things i love about this show 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 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 save us or transformed the $500.00 killer, based into racing. by something practical, said the men of the gro was association. they can deliver size, but not much depth. the pressure, if you tip, that's it. you land in the water room in the women's teams then into totals take on the dancing swans the lot to have the home field advantage 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 read the legs put together, put your bottles deep under water. i know drinking the day before,

but that's not the boats are assigned by drawing lots of rubber duck squeaks, the starting signal in the full by 100 relay. the digital photos are in the elements bought the dancing swans lead until they spring a lake. they struggling back into the boat 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. come in for all of it's very cool. nice, great. yeah, yeah, it's very high. and what did you make again, i didn't hear the and now they've all earn some delicious. tompkins to of to warm themselves up.
