a winter to deep underground. but finish capital has build a mass of leisure centers at a depth of 30 meters or nearly a 100 feet. but that's not their primary purpose. the structures are actually shelters for emergencies. and security has been growing since finland's neighbour, russia invaded ukraine, and a network of bunkers is bringing some in helsinki. peace of mind, it takes just half a minute to reach another world, 13 meters beneath the streets of helsinki. the elaborate of tunnels and bunkers under. he'll think he was designed to protect 900000 people from missile attacks, chemical weapons and radiation in the event of war. but that's not all welcome to one of helsinki most popular playgrounds for both children and adults. it's a hockey field and digital cafeteria and parking lot. oh,
6:38 am
would want some people even celebrate their birthdays here. this is a daily life for us. we've been throwing up with having these bomb shelters. so it's not, we don't really think about it. and the other thing is like filled with, with, under an own under ground world. this bunker in can you me district is one of finland's largest to soccer stadiums which fits in science, a civil defense officer, toner, brass size in the event of wars that the facilities quickly be converted into a fully functioning air reach. filter normal scenario is spent sheltering is the time is required between some hours and some days on most of our shelters. we can make the sheltering periods quite much higher blocks show brings period that creates different problems. one of the biggest problem is to hate that one person
6:39 am
creates when i create up approximately 100 watts of heat all the time. so, is it a problem for 6000 people to live in a bunker like this in an emergency? nelson, helsinki? the federal beneath the city is solely granite and nice. the bunker was carved into the underground rock, but is not the only sold. but also cool. in the event of war, the large calls can be converted into smaller rooms that needed so size. and so people can live down here for longer periods, much as they were above ground, they will be people dying. they will be people. it's available by saying they will be 6 people that will be glad to people that will be sending people every function . and as a normal and society happens within the shelters. finland chairs the board of russia over 1300 kilometers long. for a long time, to refuse to join nature,
6:40 am
but not anymore. the war and ukraine change that the u member has no also being a need to a member for 6 months. the majority of fins call for more protection and greater security. i would say the fetus people have like, rather if this got this boy added to it and the situation so we know we know that there, there is this risk always. it has to be in there. like things being done, go to independence. it's realized that the 2nd world war, but it wasn't right there and a bad feeling and it could happen some day. also, it does. so we know about that, but it's not something we're like actively, you know, fear. it's not something that we think about in our everyday life. yes, memories, happy to be a weekend of what is known as the winter war when finland fought against the soviet union from 1939 to 1940 finland emerged from the conflict with its sovereignty and tax, but paid a high price, some casualties and territory man the peace of court noon as

6:42 am
13 meters deep in the bunkers beneath their capital. the the hike in energy prices in europe has prompted people to sit shooting alternatives in the winter and cost of all the attention has turned to firewood. the gall lock mountains near the village of grass sheets are traditionally rich in this resource, but that is fast changing. the timber that has failed and sold there is often done so illegally. it's a lucrative draw for feeds in a country where poverty is rampant and catching. the perpetrators isn't easy for law enforcement. the thieves struck when we ours, before the cuts are fresh. the trees were stolen. lots of them. it was the work of timber thieves ranger phoebe berthiaume says he finds seems like this on patrol almost every day on board fell down was normal. it really infuriates
6:43 am
me and my co workers because the, it doesn't only destroy the forest, it affects the entire ecosystem here in the con, i say it's an event that comes to these days. cases like this, keep us busy around the clock in the deep look over a ball. the other details of the north and the people to see me is one of a small force of rangers patrolling the black mountains of vast area covering some 11000 hector's. the ranger says they're mostly fighting a losing battle more and more land is being raised for appeal for the illegal logging in these forest is terrible because of course take so long to regrow. have been, it doesn't happen overnight or even in a single year out from the usually the, a little harvest ends up here in private school is as far the most local family still sheets with the war and ukraine has also st energy prices soaring and poverty
6:44 am
stricken cost of an open doors for legal traitors, the stolen timber sold roadside. we shot this footage with a hidden camera. we haven't got that. i mean, this is 4 cubic meters. are the best of good for burning beach. actually it's even a bit more. but you can have it for 40 euros, a cubic meter, 160, for all of it. and as early as today, i'm one of them. is that legal? we don't want any trouble with the police also have done a monday or no, no problem. i take care of things like that. i'll bring the wood unloaded and bring the machine to cut it out. but that'll cost extra. certainly not far away. we meet these 2 brothers. they are involved in the business with stolen timber. so they don't want to be identified they see it's the only way they have to meet some money and get through the cold winter. if we didn't have this
6:45 am
business, we'd have to live without a fire, only with blankets. and then we might not make it through till spring it would be really tough. especially if the winter is very hard. of the neighbors police, they show us the machine they use. it's had me very old and indestructible. they use it to solve a still inbox that they've been sell the know many of their customers person the wind comes from this area and farther afield. our customers still the timber because they're poor. they collect the logs and load them into their tractors they see themselves which never steal timber from the forest. the risk of getting cost is too high. their suppliers keep running into rangers and they're
6:46 am
scared. they've been caught and punished quite often. so they get the rangers a little pay off us, but they aren't really corrupt. they know what our situation is like. and they just want to make a little money themselves, mainly for their children. back in the gold mountains ranger, but he is familiar with these allegations but doesn't put much stuff on the country . he says the feeds are violent and don't even shy away from murder. 4 years ago they shopped, one of his fellow rangers at 4 in the afternoon with the chain that could have been me or one of my other colleagues could not see. and we worked together until 3 pm. so, you know, and only one or 2 hours longer and you would have got us to just because suddenly
6:47 am
the weather changes in these conditions, head range, tremendous zebra goes out on patrol himself, he says the temper thieves feel safe in the mountains and wait and cold because the know his division doesn't have the budget to properly go after them. and the reason why we need more stats of the more money and more technical equipment source of which is what are the for now we're doing whatever we can to stop the legal log in with what's available to us and next to the sources. but it won't be enough, but we just don't have enough resources left them all that we need more not doing nothing at the source. and so the illegal logging in costa book continues broad stretches of this corner of the bulk of long being covered by pristine forests. but how much longer will these products are fine? the doctor is john paul deal is ready for retirement,
6:48 am
but he isn't hanging up his stethoscope just yet. that's because in france where he lives, there is a chronic shortage of doctors. if john paul leaves his practice, there won't be any one to take it over. the shortage is especially acute in the countryside in a dipaq mall and the reason of normandy, the state is trying to alleviate the deficit with buses that function as more bio medical practices. they are equipped to provide health care for patients in frances, so called medical deserts. emilio isn't isn't going on vacation. she's taking her suitcase to work at this doctor's office on wheels and normally the medical assistance also dr. we're going to meet patients right now who really need our medical assistance. a role region in the northern part of normandy. there's a serious shortage of doctors. the patients are already waiting at the community
6:49 am
center. i sprained my ankle at work on saturday. the bus has been rented by the department of every day of travels to a different town with a rotating staff. today i'm a leo's and is accompanied by retired doctors on thursday on the the 1st patient is just here for a check out the still the on the bus is equipped with everything needed for standard medical examinations. this patient michelle baylash agrees that the doctor shortage is a serious problem. depending on the retire, nobody wants to replace them. the last don't try to success or if we then changed his mind. it's funny. we have to go somewhere else to see a doctor. but since the bus started, and i've been here twice, and it's helping me really be or come in when, what do you do is utah?
6:50 am
okay. last year dr. day, i'm close his own practice and another region of normandy when he got bored after a few months. you've really wants to do something like doctors without borders. but then i thought to myself, why go so far away when i'm also going to close by? so it didn't make sense, easy to contact the team and then the hospital contact to the on behalf of the reach of the project, st. jude. good. an interesting i said yes. with more than 30 patients and one morning, the doctor and his assistant didn't get a moment's rest. most patients book the appointment online, but for urgent problems people can come without an appointment. so we have patients here who haven't seen a doctor in 2 year young and that's
6:51 am
a long time. even a year. it's a long time. you know, they haven't had any blood work done or any kind of check on the equipment. some have been taking medication for years without any monitoring because there's no doctor here idea who you think you have to look for quite all in may, the doctor best came to prove that ties city thought for the 1st time it was a resenting success the municipality. you know, even provides office space, it's handy for people who would have trouble climbing into the bus, which is true for quite a few people here. that toy face has the same problem. as many other rule regions in france, young people are moving away services, an infrastructure and vanish, an elderly people who need help are left behind in the mobile office doctor de oh, mistreating a man who is not feeling well at all. is it? look, we'll have headaches and sleep so badly. i feel like i'm going crazy. pretty much.
6:52 am
she took last. he did go to see another doctor uses, but it's complaints. we're brushed away. the exam here is thorough and, and rushed and ends with the referral to the hospital to be all significant. i'm very happy who both of you did a good job on and all right. have hoped for the future. let me work on it for her. i'm 66 and there are lots of things i'd like to do with my family. it would be nice if i could go camping at the weekend, for example, if i'm on, well, of course that's impossible. people form for you, at least at the end of the day, the deputy mayor stops by the plan is to turn the temporary office in the villa into a fully fledged examination room. it makes sense because it's unlikely that the town will ever have a full time doctor again in the medical bus could also go to other places where its services are badly needed. a tremendous out. i can give you about 50 reasons for the shortage of doctors. i conclude it's all very complicated for most people,
6:53 am
it's not something that can be solved quickly. or even in 10 years it's not possible. but if i had a solution, it would go into publication each for now though, so set that idea aside. he'll be on vacation for a few weeks, but at closer the time we'll have to manage without the doctor of us until then. and the 1st appointments have already been filled. charity is one of the cornerstones of the christian faith. archbishop cost back as evangel of the apostolic christian church in the town of edmonton, north london, however, has developed his own method of connecting with his parishioners knock out punch. for years, the clergyman has been using a boxing club as a means of saving the youth in his trouble neighborhood from a life of crime. caustic, as believes in the power of working off aggression in the ring rather than on the streets. a time to solve this eventually some of the questions have sheets on face
6:54 am
symbol, something him to do community what, what the stylus used to be to meet this but some also known as the vaccine vision. the archbishop is a trained focusing coach in 2004 along sites as clerical gt stuck is funded an amateur boxing club to get young people away from the games and off the streets who likes to tell people. so i'll go from bad company as well. so i would street wise, i'll go in fights when i was younger. my like since i was leaving to what the cost by a gang fight, then you can see the scar from my face. comes to be, as mentioned, you goes welcome, everyone. regardless of the faith on japan, many members here come from disadvantage background. archbishop stuck in police of books and clubs, gives them something positive to do an alternative to life on the street. however you want done rather by myself being as i angry. cuz after a session, you can really, you know,
6:55 am
you feel like your reaching your goal is on your developing yourself and your skills. and over time you see that you guys ago there was a lot of knife crowns. and you know, violence in general in this area. but i found a lot of people, especially teenagers around this area. the youth have become involved in not sports like this and in the community and submit them or, you know, like i said, humble stock is funded. the stomach christian church street full. and is the congregations proceeding, the minister, the church preaches peace, reconciliation and non violence. so how does construct is reconciled these values with what is a rather brutal sport? how it impacts young people from being actually physically violent industries, crime, knife crime, and they change to a 100. and they typically turn around then that ways that it can see that sees those are the words here. the young foxes gets a fighting chance in the ring and off the streets. that's all from us this
