europe has prompted people to see cheating, alternatives in the winter, and cost of all the attention has turned to firewood. the goal 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 jr. offer 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 fees. ranger vp, 3. he says he finds seems like this one patrol almost every day on board found out it was normal. it really infuriates me and my co workers across the he doesn't,

3:45 pm
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 wood 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 then they're
3:46 pm
scared. they've been caught and punished quite often. so they get the rangers a little pay off so that 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 to 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, but 4 in the afternoon that you could have been me or one of my other colleagues, cannot you? and we worked together until 3 pm. i was, you know, a new only one or 2 hours longer and you would have got us to just because suddenly the weather changes in these conditions, head ranger mendota, sebra, goes out on patrol himself. he says the temper thieves feel safe in the mountains
3:47 pm
and wait and cold because the know his divisions doesn't have the budget to properly go after them. and the reason we need more stats of the more money and more technical equipment source of legit to go to 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 if we just don't have enough resources left them all that we need more not doing nothing at the source to. and so the illegal logging in costco continues broad stretches of this corner of the bulk of the long being covered by pristine forests. but how much longer will these products are fine? to doctor john paul deal is ready for retirement, 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,
3:48 pm
there won't be any one to take it over. the shortage is especially acute in the countryside in a department in the region of normandy, the state is trying to alleviate the deficit with buses that function as immobile 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 are 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 center. i sprained my ankle at work on saturday. the bus
3:49 pm
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 holiday 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 doctor had a successor. 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 a commitment. what you do is utah. okay. last year dr. de,
3:50 pm
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 going to say more close by? it didn't make sense. you can contact and then a 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 and 2 year young and that's a long time. even a year. it's a long time. you know, so they haven't had any blood work done or any kind of check on the equipment. some
3:51 pm
have been taking medication for years without any monitoring because there's no doctor here idea who you think you ready to move for people in may. the doctor bus came to prevent ties 30 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 is the same problem. as many other rule regions in france, young people are moving away service is an infrastructure and vanish. an elderly people who need help are left behind or in the mobile office doctor de own mistreating a man who is not feeling well at all. either look, we'll have headaches and sleep so badly. i feel like i'm going crazy. pretty much she took last. he did go to see another doctor uses,
3:52 pm
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 hope for the future. 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 that issue. 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, it's not something that can be solved quickly. or even in 10 years it's not
3:53 pm
possible because 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 to thought, we'll have to manage without a 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 symbol, something to do community what,
