i don't judge them what showed to me, but i am astounded at how quickly people can be changed to propaganda on television . and yet it took up a program to continue to do now it's on the street. so if can you go well propaganda symbols like the letters that on the present as well across russia. those who, comp, barrett flee abroad, for example, to tell in the capital of estonia, protestant passed upon votes, and y'all came from the village. the basque has been living here for almost 2 years . he health services for russian speak english because in the basement of this office building on the city's edge, twice a week. here in a sonia, he can preach freely, unlike in his former parish in siberia. post. the panel explains that when he condemned the war during a service that the secret service paid him a visit. let's pretend to be anything else about the 2 strangers knocked on the door. the other way to ask them why they've come in. they said they'd like to have

the preventative talk. sluggish to be soon. they said i was preaching bad things ready to pull up and asked if i had heard about a new law school that the prison sentences for 3 to 7 years. and which would i prefer? oh no, we used to have them out there with the c municipal. i'm of course that will coordinate right. i have on so i can, didn't hesitate. he quickly packed his bags. he explains that some passes in russia . don't speak about the, we'll have to stay there with being persecuted, but he comp since himself with a good conscience video, a thoughtful, not just i've spoken openly about how our country invaded ukraine because that violate scott's law deal, which means we can't close our eyes to lawlessness, transpiring in front of us is that price with bills that going in russia, less than one percent of the population is protestant. the vast majority of russians, some 75 percent off adults, christians in principle that church will so oppose this will. but some clergy
12:35 am
members support this will. the spiritual leader patriot girl has said rushes and legal invasion of ukraine is self defense. when you scale, we do not want to fight against any one russian that has never attacked sitting on the board and the dollar patriot carrillo claims russian soldiers fighting in ukraine. awesome. p. fulfilling met you t to your phone? yes. so if someone dies walk carrying out his military duty, you said he is without any doubt doing a deed that is equal to sacrifice the young sacrifices himself or others. and therefore, we believe that this sacrifice watches away all the sense that a person has committed to members who don't share this view of the news, depositions in the church or experience persecution themselves. and this is driving
12:36 am
russian. all the adults priests, the flip road to, to the ranch. can the baptist pasta from? can luka is staying for now, but in the wake of the police right around 6 months ago, he's feeling increased pressure for nutrition. so there's probably 3 the pacific robust lever tuesdays, or at least regularly come to our churches that many dissidents are in prison. as are members of the political positions. i'm on the do we have to stay true to our conscience? i can't imagine living differently or staying silent about what's happening, try to post the, can't do that. and then as the came over the past, the rent can feel 0. just the 2 options. stay with his congregation and deal with the pressure or leave russia in turkey. people may decide to leave their country for a number of reasons, violence and curtis regions and repression by security forces or the week economy and high unemployment rates are just some of them. many hope to start

a new life in germany, yet, authorities here are struggling to adequately handle the hundreds of thousands of refugees and migrants from all over the world. last year alone, more than 60000 people from turkey applied for asylum in germany. the acts who is among those who left because of political reasons of this former lansdale is located on the outskirts of sierra and south eastern turkey. for years. curtis human rights activist moves in beta one and his friends on the investigated a grim suspicion about the waste of that dates back to the 1990s. there's so many to then use the skins and legs. the fact that victims tortured by the military and police were hastily buried here. the b 2, please allow me to prevent the ground from being investigated. it to the below. are these have to prove the building has to be constructed on top and what are they still call you and let them any of the construction companies threaten me?
12:38 am
it was on a model, it's a livable, but the hate lead telephone that, that, that they do. that's why is on the acts to flight to germany. in berlin, he says, people can express their opinions and protests and police protect people rather than arrest. and let me have you on a joke. by the end of the year, you can make democratic demands in dissidents. has treated with tolerance of the turkish prosecutors repeatedly singled him out. they sentenced him to 18 months of prison for dodging compulsory military service. then came a 12 year sentence for and the legend involvement and a terrorist organization. both rulings were still pending when he decided to flee the journalist and human rights activist has been provided a hotel room to stay in which he shares with another asylum seeker. he says he
12:39 am
finally feels safe year. 2000 kilometers from turkey, a song dish that must be off of the bed and there was a police right there recently you had to, they took all my equipment, had a camera, laptop in storage devices, and i wasn't afraid of being arrested. and the only for turkey has a record of political assassinations. it's the one i was scared, i might become a target to then build some cut of it. and just for decades, kurds and south eastern turkey, i've been demanding greater autonomy and for their language to receive equal treatment. the situation is 10 and conflict has research to between target security forces and the curtis and workers party or p k k, which the e you also classifies as a terrorist organization. many of died on both sides. at the senior to human rights association was an act. so used to work. the mood is somber. or
12:40 am
in software, either this tool to send them digital enough, you have the know where are there as many human rights violations being committed as in this region. and what you can't report on it all the complaints don't help either. it can you measure as the immediate response as repression because she'll call you so besides the violence herbs are also hit by economic was the regions rank among turkey's porous. another reason many had to germany between january and october 2023, around 50000 people came from turkey, a 200 percent rise. the number's left authorities overwhelmed then actually remembers what this is like. after fleeing, he 1st received accommodation app for lens out of service airport in the jam packed facilities, bytes often broke out between refugees who come from around the world to move on to
12:41 am
the w. like you all may have seen, you know, social media, people say germany is a paradise where a red carpet is rolled out for you. of course, that's a lie about the refugees. first, get put into elective shelters and you each end and you only get to stay if you can prove to really a victim. as article persecutions looked at each of the 7. yes. on question. a lot of your politician magic cutoff metal is of turkish defense and a member of the ruling social democratic party gave you to he agrees with such a distinction and says, people arriving fall into 3 main groups. the 1st are the politically disillusioned gets to try to corporate fund mentioned then there's the 2nd group of people who are some really impacted by trustees. economic situations got to have caused lighting when declining all a group of people who are actually being pers 600 entering your thoughts, 54000. they currently make up some 14 percent of applicants from turkey. as accent knows, i'm sure, then i'll try everything to get my stat is recognizing harmony. when i do end up
12:42 am
getting rejected, i'll try it in another country, but there's no way i can go back on he will have to convince german authorities. but such asylum cases can take years. of the sweden's education system ranks among the best in the world. and laptops were a part of every day school life there since long before the pendant make. but now this tech savvy country is taking a step back to a more offline approach. we visited an elementary school where a tried and true a teaching materials such as school books are enjoying a renaissance service started school in the southern swedish town approval. first thing as a school day begins, pupils turn in their phones in sweden, many 4th graders have smartphones. so madeleine servants on collects them every morning. the 1st class of the day is math. and today, the teacher, i mean, that's
12:43 am
a surprise, you know, today, and you're guessing us this real nice book scale now. yup. and i want you to give it to now. so you can take the time looking at the you go, yeah, go ahead and browse through. it's bradley. so these are the 1st printed books. the children have been given after nearly 4 years in this class . until now, they have was almost entirely with laptops and math. it doesn't take long before they begin noticing differences. and then there are more descriptions than on the now. so, so what might be hard or is that now we have to read us out before the computer and read the exercises a note for us couldn't the, don't think what and for the better with the books, because the computer always preexisting. but i have trouble writing, so it will be harder for me because now i have to write everything by hand. so,
12:44 am
good luck towards the turning real pages again in sweden, many classrooms are slowly embarking on this reversed course. for years, even primary school pupils were taught almost exclusively digitally. it's just 5 years ago, the education ministry issued national guidelines recommending digital teaching a. it's like laptops or apps rather than books. quinette deal, but i guess the 2nd teacher today, she's also noticed the negative effects of purely digital lessons. and that's not the most lonely. yeah, they have a lot of account. we read and understand less of what they read. we just funding this because we have talked too much with digital means sweden has a decentralized education system. there are state schools and numerous private schools in education. policy is not centralized,
12:45 am
meaning that different schools and teachers don't have to follow a uniform digitization approach. his government now wants to change that to sweden's conservative prime minister of christmas and invited the winners of a reading competition to a small celebration. she says, especially primary school students should read more and administer for schools a lot to it home agrees this year alone, the government is providing 60000000 euros for book purchases, complete them because i think the problem with digitalization in sweet patio is this is very much being taught down to many teachers are tested against it, but they didn't feel they will come on for. i believe that you shouldn't use digital materials with older children, but they get taught according to brain research. young children shouldn't be exposed to screens a tool, but small bunch guy young penny did suck. that's required of my odds. sweden's government gets its way. teachers will soon receive these guidelines to administer
12:46 am
for schools also wants to prevent young children from being glued to a screen too early. this of the box of information was not fast that i, even when i talked to parents that we need to get the box back. i remember go because of the schools and makes it easy for them to understand what that you know, not just this study for the next test status. i have my florida slab report instead of just being handed and stuff on the link and linked back at the start school, its geography class. now the children do get their laptops out. they will use them to explore sweden, learn more cities and regions are and mark them on the screen. how much digitization belongs in the classroom. so we didn't school authority also points to the teacher's role. they need to handle the nutrients correctly. something in the future is digital that we have to teach those 2 is black children and the them
12:47 am
. yeah, well me a little bit news. if i could choose someone come in and i don't for a combination, the face is full. and that's going to be enough to me and maybe you can talk students 610. it demonstrates this. naturally the computer is freezing again. so he gets the exercise from the book. fewer things are as quint essentially, british as the number of palaces, castles, and impressive country houses all over the united kingdom. symbols of a rich history where we can only imagine how the wealthy lived in the 18th century . but some buildings have seen better days, like the one owned by richard compton, for generations. his family has lived in new be hole in north yorkshire, which is one of many grand estates and buildings whose future is threatened by climate change. the cost will assist breton, even before downtown abbey, a with
12:48 am
a must seize on any trip to the u. k. so many found the pension meals protectionist, the but now the same buildings that have survived the grizzly partition weather for centuries. under threats from climate change has a jeremy is the manager afflicting a states in norfolk whenever she does her inspection rounds. she is greeted by fresh damage. it's disintegrating brickwork. and we're trying to stop that kind of level. but what it does mean is the bricks themselves are starting to crumble um on their own because of that, doubtless, because of that, that watering breast that's happened. this means that the costs of this becoming increasingly unstable as could collapse altogether. if the extreme rains of recent years continue the national trust which finances the blackening
12:49 am
a state through donations has published them and numbing report. more than 70 percent of english consuls also endangered by climate change that the preservation past 2060 can no longer be guaranteed. when you actually see the number, it still does come as a little bit of a shock. so you know that there is a problem, but then seeing the scale of it. yeah. it's like, wow that's, that's a big thing that we're facing into. you know, there's western it some wesley storms that cause the most damage. heather jimmy explains. and with the storms come, the rains which penetrate even deep into all the structures. weak spots without government support have a gym. they will have to go day by day making repairs where she can, but prevention measures like dams won't be constructed. those brits, you still own costs, those have to maintain them out of pocket, which will prove,
12:50 am
increasingly challenging. hewitt skills, for example. he's the manager of navy home and is up on the roof every time it rains. often the guns has often opened with hailstones or clearing them, is a painstaking task. obviously if it's coming down like this guy, click it, and it can get out of the whole, the level rises and forward. she just creeps back on to the the channel here. behind the site's down. i mean, millions, it's millions. so many use of this house. so as a nation, cuz we're not, they are the ones with this issue. it is an issue, so the, the private and it just doesn't have the money to do. how is it going to do that? let's now that we, we just about cover all costs. so me is you don't have to search for to see what you behold could look like if it went to the stuart hills. conduit face swing, have to be a band and all together which is
12:51 am
a safe green towards, isn't it the if we didn't have the visitors coming, generating some income, then we wouldn't be able to do the repairs if you're saying and then. um yeah, this is what it is comes to comes to the okay. yeah. the visitors are the most important source of income, especially in summer. in the main house we meet you, it's boss which is compton whose family has and was me the whole for centuries. the main attraction is a historic gym. the chippendale room, an original complete, the preserved ensemble from $1763.00. it's not just the damn fools that put the collection of taurus. if the cost for pass continues to rise, come to may have to sell off costs of this historical collection conceivably. but i hope not. but, but obviously because i, we wouldn't want to destroy the connection. but i suppose if things got so bad
12:52 am
that you know, you needed millions of pounds, then you would obviously have to face sending something. but chain is still likely english fashion. richard compton doesn't latch on how don't you have a situation where he is giving up the whole his family heritage is out of the question. as you know, we've been there longer parts of the european union. so the ground system, the money used to have the farming as effectively as being redone, and we get to really understand exactly what happens without any support. a direct government ground. suppose houses like this, a permanently challenged the british government has not yet responded to causal. and as request nor to the national trusts report, which said, pointing a minister for climate adaptation in the government would be pivotal time is of the

essence in britain's great historic buildings on to live on the and now say to our final report is all about what it takes to make the perfect harmony john or to john on a bird to pick o'reilly's mission, is to protect this and tell him delicacy from counterfeits. because there are many people who sell invitation so as to benefit from the multi 1000000000 you are industry, but genuine farming general the general has to be made in the region around the italian provinces of one day. and i and parma. and there is a lot of skill and dedication that goes into the production. juliano has been a master chief maker and more than that for 43 years. driven by passion for the original problem at john o to john o and it's unique production the appropriate for me, the fermentation is very important in the production process and that always has to
12:54 am

12:55 am
$15.00. so it's also a product that's often faked to estimated damages of $2000000000.00 euros a year. trademark protection has been in place in the us since 2008. but outside of the you, there are 15 big parmesan cheese is where every genuine permit john node. and john on the, on the my do i get is going 3. i'm with the biggest problem lies outside the there the name is used to misleading lady on it. we for example, parmesan like to model normally the, the problem is done on a john know for my does in feel bottom is and of course a consumer who is not well informed will be deceived by yeah. so it was somebody completely different. i mean, the, the not for inspector on the better to pick body. it's a daily battle for genuine pon, mcdonald a john, or maybe with true skills for that authentic taste. and that brings us to the end of this episode on focus on your premium. but you can always find more of our
