the in 60 minutes on d w. we've got some hot tips for your package that manage the code is parts affinities. check on some great cultural memorials to boot travel regarding the this is focus on europe. i'm laura babylon law. welcome. the days are getting shorter and colder, and winter is just around the corner in europe. for many people and ukraine. it's an unwelcome change of season with drones and artillery. russia is targeting ukraine's heating plants and power grids just as they did last year. the attacks

are an effort to demoralize the civilian population. millions fear that they will once again have to face the cold without electricity heating or running water well on it and car team is one of those affected. her apartment block was badly damaged last year at the start of rushes, envision since then, she has been living with her mother in the basement, which survived the attack unscathed their makeshift home has provided them with protection from the war, raging above. still on the logs to move back into her place and that's where he comes in to meet you and his team have been working tirelessly to repair the damage caused by the war. even though it's a task with no end insight of the suburbs and car keys, things here still look much as they did in the early months of the war when the suburb was bon bonded by the russian forces. buildings were headed by artillery and

as residents report even by missiles from fighter planes, those that have stayed are now facing their 2nd winter without central heating. some apartments don't even have windows and has been living in the basement of her apartment complex for 20 mom. this event together with her mother and a friend, because it's warmer, down here. this old wood burning stove is their only source of heat. but hopefully we can warm up with this so it would be much colder without it. at least we won't freeze like upstairs and my flight from qualitative for the city and is building is at the bottom of the priority list because it's too severely damaged to be repaired quickly. many of the districts residents are in a similar situation and are dissatisfied with the authorities. in central car keeps a so called fast recovery approach is being used. minor damage is repaired quickly

so that residents don't have to vacate their homes for long and spaces in the cities emergency shelters can go to those who really need them. on this street, a russian missile recently exploded. you destroyed the windows of almost all the buildings here. i'm also all we do the fox recovery cost recovery. we change windows, the garbage and the majors. this flats resident is currently staying with our family. so the team expects. she'll be able to return soon to the garbage and to close the windows. uh, it seems to me that today we can do it. uh for sure. once the road has also been repaired, it will be hard to tell that this block was hit by a missile. but even as the team is working, air, raid sirens,

go off. do the volunteers feel as if the work is never ending? with is know for sure, but we're ready for everything now we do it to or and or but the in future really much we didn't know when but housing shortage is which is one of many challenges facing the ukrainian authorities. as cold weather begins to set in last winter, the russian military use drones and long range missiles to strength, ukrainian power grid. this led to frequent power cuts across the country. but this time, ukraine is better prepared for russia's attacks. engineers have been rebuilding hundreds of substations and encasing them and blast proof concrete. the new enclosures wouldn't withstand a direct missile head, but they would protect against shrapnel

mostly with i mean because there might be some damage. but it wouldn't be that bad to you and then we will be able to get it up and running again quickly. we don't want to watch it would be, it was the one in addition, ukrainian military plans to deploy its air defenses at key points in the energy grid. this includes thermal power plants and large substitutions, such as this one, which supplies up to half a 1000000 households with electricity. but despite its best efforts, the countries energy infrastructure is going to be in for a tough winter rush. it has destroyed many expensive power plants and replacements are only being delivered piece meal. and that means that they gave you on some, janet, out for, for some lower than before falls is seeing status as they have to be even be 3 and from one side to rebuild. prepared to be fair understanding what's happened. so we have a lot of training into pro ration down from either side to from the coupon side,

via on the, to the position to have the expert things that russia no longer believes that can pressure ukraine into submission by attacking infrastructure. and now we use, i believe, is that if you think it will be comp what's available for the wife, as soon as the central heating is repaired and a plans to move back upstairs, the city has promised her it will be done, but didn't fix a date that was for the student, that's what it is. that's it. sometimes we think we have to keep up it kind of, we didn't feel that way at 1st, but now we do more and more often to come to the schools. we've been waiting a long time for the war to end it. but you know, in concerning the i u. n. o wishes you had something to look forward to, then maybe the winter months would be easier to bear. the lobby slab

shack of life has been drastically changed by the war. first, the ukrainian soldier was seriously injured, a fighting for his country against russia. and then he became one of around 800 ukrainians who are flown out to germany for treatment. now as gladys lab recovers, he finds himself fighting red tape in germany. and he is being supported by an sheila, charlotte, a volunteer who looks after injured soldiers from ukraine. germany has promised to cover all the health care costs, but on sheila is seeing just how stressful the bureaucratic process is for her clients. it's angela charlotte who's day off, but the care has voluntary work to do in her spare time. she looks after an injured ukrainian soldier in need. he's being treated in a clinic outside berlin. german bureaucracy is angela's biggest problem. in my system, most of these like jobs were validated over a year ago,

they were in the ukranian hospital with serious injuries and no financial support from ukraine. then they come here and have to confront german bureaucracy. they're confined to their beds, they can't leave the hospital, but have to do the rounds of the social welfare office, the jobs center, and who knows what other agencies in lobby sloss was badly wounded by a grenade splinter and is partially paralyzed. is this a good? yes, i know the, the 25 year old is dependent on health to do most things. personally, showing up at all the official appointments is out of the question. angela and other volunteers take care of his paper work. today. they have also brought gifts for bodies love those aboard for sure. it means an awful lot to me that the volunteers, we wouldn't be able to submit these documents and sort out all these things that

they're now helping us with are all with us. so when they look like lottery slough is currently at the rehab stage, he'd like to know what he can expect after the therapy. no worries. uh, what are the terms i've spoken to the doctor to. they say it will be very difficult to recover from this kind of condition with it, but i'm hoping for the best uh no. my dear snow check campbell, a 2 man hits the clinic, social care section. she contacts the health insurance companies, government agencies, and other authorities to get support for patients like lobbies, love after their treatment. he has had no insurance coverage for 2 months now. the same for this. hell, if i, he has no apartment yet. he's only been in the hospital. a district office is in charge of his case, but we can contact anyone there. we're told someone is going to call back and they don't. it's been like that for 2 months now. let's give you some, some people by who not to from lot is love wants to go for a cigarette,

but he needs assistance to get to the smokers area. berlin city authorities are looking after some 30 wounded ukrainians like him. but dealing with the bureaucracy is no easy feat, and only 2 official helpers have been allotted to help all of them. ultimately, they are people to, they work from 9 am to 6 pm. they can be contacted after 6 pm, but the soldiers have their problems. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. and we contacted berlin's health department to ask them about ukrainian soldiers situation. but they declined to comment. angela has brought the wedding photos to showed a lot of stuff. he knows the happy couple. at 1st, madeline just wanted to help, but then loved blossomed between the volunteer and angry, another wounded soldier who came to germany. the wedding was also attended by

other ukrainians, living an exile. here we lose, or perhaps a $2.00 put on the we have read a lot about andre in the newspapers. he is an incredible person, very strong and courageous, and we are proud of him for protecting us. and we want to support him, which andre will continue to need a wheelchair in the future. but he remains optimistic. she's because she supports us to be honest. i wasn't planning on getting married at all. but do you have to settle down at some point somewhere? and the injuries have changed my life completely. that's how it is. who knows what will happen next. but i hope things will look up in the future. andre has 2 more operations ahead of him. after the last one, the clinic asked him to pay personally, even though the ukranian government had told him that arrangements had been made. and i still contact the door. i called the ukrainian health ministry because i told

them, here's the situation, can you help? and so they told me the germans site agreed to pay for the rehabilitation. uh, pull up with us, that'd be the best service. all, most of us must just put on the volunteers have already written to numerous politicians and people in charge complaining about the bureaucratic hurdles and confusion. it's no model, it's bad enough when you come to germany as a normal refugee, but to expect the same from wheelchair users who have lost an arm or worse is out of the question. so, i hope everyone here is hoping that the situation will improve soon. madeline and under his wedding is at least collins for whole. 8 europe is heavily dependent on imports of where metals like lithium intent. both are crucial components for smartphones and electric cars, for instance. but these raw materials are actually not that rare here. they just

need to be mind. industry experts have turned their attention to england, south west, which has a vast reserves of lithium for c. e. o of cornish metals, richard williams. it hails a new era of mining in the u. k. in the past and mining industry made its fortune from coal and now the decaying sector is experiencing a revival, the uncanny east coast. britain's mining history is still visible. the region is rich and minerals that no one wanted for decades. now they are, once again highly sought after 50 meters underground. an old mine is being revived under the sides, crusty 10 project for the mining company, cornish metals seal. richard williams wants to revive the shafts and maintain on a large scale here. currently,

china is by far the largest tim producer for the global market. he'd like to see more come from the u. k. and cornwall. this is the highest grade 10 results in the world. it's not currently in production. so for the highest grade, 10 deposit that we are aware of globally, it is a big thing and i think it reflects again, the quality of the district in caldwell for 10 mineralization from smartphones to wind turbines. 10 is used in practically all electronic devices. secular scope. would it be mine coordination? metals are currently assessing the size of the deposit. theme is also to make britain less dependent on china. with these comes to a period obviously on the back of the russian invasion of ukraine and things going on with, with china and taiwan, where there's a lot more concerned about security of supply domestic manufacturing. and we think caldwell given it's rich rich history of mine and,

and certainly it's one of the was great 10 provinces can play a big role in supply and to not only to the u. k, but to europe. the issue is so important that the british government has committed to funding to support the projects in cornwall. the u. k presented it's critical mineral strategy last year, even before the showed that our supply chains all fall more resilient than the all at the moment. and it's about showing that we don't just rely on one or 2 countries around the world to supply could to come in those 2 out of the fonts manufacturing sector. it will cost also looks at how we can be mining locally processing, refining and manufacturing as well. the recent emphasis on renewable energy use has caused demand for critical minerals to skyrocket funding cornwall. another big feature project is underway. lithium, considerable amounts of lithium and essential elements for electric car batteries were recently discovered in carmel houses drilling guard.

this is still a test facility protection. let's see. i'm seeing you. andrew smith believes they will be able to cover a 3rd of the case requirements. i'm just 5 years, a diamond drilled or 700 meters below the surface to extract granite containing the so called white gold. was a bunch of those as we've got some quotes, we've got some bar type. what we're really officer is the will silvery specs, which you can see around here. and then usually pete into process. the lithium is separated from the granite purified and refined that needs to be processed further . but there is no suitable refinery for that in the u. k. that is likely, and the discussions we're having is that the lifting calls and that will get 1st us in europe and then slowly back into the kaiser be put into the batteries the vehicles built in this country. you know, we've got the biggest factories in the u. k, we've got the roar ingredients of the logical next step is to put that face in the middle. and that doesn't just apply to listen. the key is rich in critical

raw materials. the campbell and school of mines in storm. well, for example, is also doing research on cobalt nickel and tungsten. you have to have the right to unity. so it's a very special hearing cool that we just happen to have. we're very fortunate to have some potential for let's see him. some, you know, well to often deposit some well tough tungsten here. and it's really up to us whether we make the efforts to use that separately, obstacles still need to be overcome before the pay minds and you can enter production. but for richard williams, what matters is that this abandoned industry could trust for once more. i think there's a growing excitement in the local community because everybody wants to see this mind back into production is a strong mind and a heritage here and see in this mine in the head frame and the wheels to it. and again, i think would mean a lot to the local community. the u. k is unlikely to overcome its dependence on

other countries anytime soon. but it has taken the 1st steps towards reviving its minds. sometimes life will take you down a path you never expected. it's an experience that child sion you can relate to his journey, let him from taiwan to a province in turkey where he lives on the border with syria in the city of rohand, left historian, achieved a feat. many architects would marvel that he constructed this center without any prior knowledge or experience. and since then, it has become more than just a building. it's grown into a community for refugees and locals, a like one that acts as a bridge between cultures. and there were days when church and you can't quite believe life brought in here to a 100 love a turkish municipality bordering syria. 8000 kilometers away from his home, taiwan. when i wake up

and what is my job to day and what's my role in the work the architectural historian has done here has already had a phenomenal impact. he founded the taiwan re homeless center for the world citizens. a beacon of hope for both the syrian refugees and locals. children are taught turkish and arabic, while their mothers make our terminal objects to earn money. they even offer traditional far eastern massages. gosh, originally, charles plan was to spend just a brief time at a university and and corrupt, but then a time when these 8 organization needed someone to build a school for refugees. i know how to put a research. i know how to read article, but i never view a beauty. but so many years ago, i say, i should give

a talk because no, i visit the more i feel the boxes. so i tell myself, i know i will fail to i will say what i said, i'm going to try once some of his friends back home thought he was crazy to try the homeless has seen repeated rotated attacks and bombings. the border is only a few kilometers away. every 2nd inhabitant is a refugee from syria. not to mention the danger posed by earthquakes. the toe makes his way to the city hall. the mayor quickly gave his support to the project. instead of a school for syrian children, this was to be a community center for everyone. the mayor holds tone highest steam. yep. was

a said love tom the yeah pull up. the buildings only become a topic of conversation when they have a special atmosphere. viani in child always says, i'm trying to build more than just a building. so mostly it's a metal. what are some new child was awarded an international architectural price for the center, which was built with a budget of just $400000.00. he had the idea to use massive concrete sections left over from turkey's border. well, effectively turning a barrier that separated people into a center to bring them back together. because as you can see, each piece is 11 palm into the face. it's a very be sort of for me when us quick function. we disability with medical that and more importantly, if one day this was that from the old rocky pounds, this building or this structure. so if you kind of has a trouble like how much can you find the center draws hundreds of

people each day. hands made goods primarily for the time when each market are produced and it's workshops, child even help design the leather bags. now, i'm really heavy. this is my work. see a lot of the sensors here, like yes, yes. many of the locals feared the refugees might be given preferential treatment and rumors spread. that's until the centers neighbors got to know child for themselves. getting job well, they set the syrians from gets a swimming pool and a soccer pit and things like that. but what's the, how soon? but he's an outstanding person just in terms of humanity. people here could learn a thing or 2 from him for a move. i'm sure you just tell them to talk to people, you look at the people you know, how do you know how this,

you know, how the experience you know, how to work together and tear on the turkish theory and border. there's plenty more work to do for child time. you. at the taiwan re homeless center for world citizens . couldn't europeans be facing the end of the much loved a tally and dish? again, he was clams. well, shellfish farmers on the northern italian coast are sounding the alarm. that's because a new invader is threatening the ecosystem in the po delta. and it's here that around 40 percent of clams for the european market come from fisherman, manuel for not. he is growing increasingly desperate. the invasion is designating his livelihood adam, his founding rate. they may not look like much, but these crap, so the biggest threat to show fish bombing in the po, delta, rising, see,

temperatures are ideal for blue crowds. and they've reached devastating damage this year. and let me tell you the problem. so literally everything i've been fishing for 30 years for clams and fish, but all that is going to be say, each of them all, you know, they've devoured almost all the young clams race for next year. as harvest, some 1500 families live from time farming in the delta, around 40 percent of clients from the european markets come from here. now the fishers are fighting back to the above all, we have to catch the females because legally, eggs, twice a year. finally, the blue crab has even made its way into italian cooking, appearing on menus alongside the classic spaghetti i live on. while a little i break the model and fry them with onions, garlic,

and chilly. and then i let them simmer with a splash of wine full. what do you mean? a beautiful pasta with very little effort. but blue crab hasn't really caught on yet. there sold the fish market to knock down price is because demand is modest compared to the overwhelming supply inc with the georgia, i know for $100.00 at least fisher's earned $0.20 per kilo clean the biscuit. so that means they are basically may have considerable loss until in order to beat the map is speeding up to protect their own future data. they still harvest large quantities of blue crowds. important peak wanted that cvd good on key. the government has released 2900000 euros for catching and disposing of the crabs, and advise fishing communities to capture as many as they can to at least save some clams. fisher's type of wire mesh, fencing around breeding areas, just predicate and we hope that nature will be kind to us and make this crap

disappear. and that our clients will come back. and so the officials continue to fight for their livelihoods, and against the blue crab. as well, that's all for this edition of focus on your up. thank you so much for your company . bye for now. the,
