the sign it reset in the i see on the hello and welcome to focus on europe. thanks for joining us today. february, march 2 years since president vladimir putin launch the invasion of ukraine. but now russia is witnessing growing resistance against the war in moscow. the wives and relatives of soldiers protested demanding the return from the front of their husbands, sons, and brothers. tens of thousands of men were forced, fully recruited during the partial mobilization in 2022. at the protest,
8:31 am
27 people were detained by police, including foreign journalist demonstrations are generally not something he appreciates. president put in has been in the office since the year 2000 and he's expected to win again in this year's election. not surprisingly in the war and ukraine is set to be a major topic, but those will criticize russia's invasion, put their lives in danger. many have had to flee the country, and even priests who dare to take us tense, find themselves in a difficult position. we went to speak with tomb one in his tonja, the other one in russia. the houses of worship are on the claim of scrutiny in russia these days, especially in protestant churches, which here are referred to as western churches, clergy who preach, piece and question rules of feeling the strain including bishop passed the albatross came from cologne. he was visited by police 6 months ago. his church was
8:32 am
searched and he was briefly detained, officially as a witness in a trial against another pasta tricia. so moses, so people who are 6 hours the police turned everything upside down and threatened me over was over. and you'll probably because i was publicly expressing my views that this could come as a clergyman ford and i have my own youtube channel called you from have been with isn't about religious and political issue, a quarter of a variety of people speak there, including opposition, members it was clear to meet the interrogation had more to do with that or the rats can was located as a witness. he was released after a few hours. his colleague, him here on the left has been charged with spreading miss information about the russian army in a critical post. he is facing up to 15 years interruption prism to go to the mall with hardly anyone dares to speak of most are afraid and just remain
8:33 am
silent and is ex, i don't judge them or shoulder but i am astounded at how quickly people can be changed to propaganda on televisions and yet it took up a program to continue to do now it's on the streets of canoga war 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 . the health services for russian speak english both in the basement of this office building on the city's edge. twice a week. here in this sonia, he can preach freely, unlike in his former parish in siberia post. the pavel 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
8:34 am
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 at the prison sentences for 3 to 7 years. and which would i prefer movies to attend at the same municipal course that will coordinate, right? or tablets? i can didn't hesitate. he quickly packed his bags. he explains that some passes in russia. don't speak about the war, how to stay there with being persecuted. but he comp, since himself with a good conscience, video 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 of the adults, christians and principal that church bulls to oppose this war. but some clergy
8:35 am
members support this war. 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 $5.00 patriarch carrillo claims russian soldiers fighting in ukraine. awesome p. fulfilling that u t e u is phone yet. so if someone dies while carrying out his military duty, you said he is without any doubt doing a deed that is equal to sacrifice the young, the sacrifice himself or others. and therefore, we believe that this sacrifice washes away all the sense that a person has committed. clergy members who don't share this view of the news, depositions in the church or experience persecution themselves. and this is driving
8:36 am
russian. all the adults priests, the flip road to, to the red skin. the baptist pasta from ca, luca is staying for now. but in the wake of the police right around 6 months ago, he's feeling increased pressure. but need for sure to finish right. 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 oppositions loose, do we have to stay true to our conscience? i can imagine living differently, store staying silent about what's happening. try to post the can't do that. you know, you have to 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 the high unemployment rates are just some of them. many hope to start
8:37 am
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 axle 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 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 police have to prove buildings to be constructed on top and what are they still call you and let them any of the construction companies threaten us on a model?
8:38 am
it's a livable, but the hate lead telephone that they do. that's why is on the acts of flight to germany in berlin, he says, people can express their opinions and protests and police protect people rather than a rest. and let me have you on a shop by a v. i know some here you can make democratic demands and dissidents as treated with tolerance. on the quality 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 an the legend involvement and a terrorist organization. both rulings were still pending when he decided to flee. the journalist and human rights activists has been provided a hotel room to stay in, which he shares with another asylum seeker. he says he finally feels safe here.
8:39 am
2000 kilometers from turkey. a song dish. there must be up of the venom. there was a police right there recently you had to. they took all my equipment, had my camera, laptop, and storage devices. i wasn't afraid of being arrested and the only for turkey has a record of political assassinations. 69, i was scared, i might become a target and the optional cut of it. and just for decades occurs in south eastern turkey, have been demanding greater autonomy. and for their language to receive equal treatment, the situation is 10 and conflict has research between turkish security forces and the curtis stand workers party or p k k, which the e u also classifies as a terrorist organization. many of died on both sides. at the sierra to human rights association were xanax, who used to work the mood is somber to instill where he lives
8:40 am
to get something digital enough, yet they are nowhere other 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 gives you most immediate response is refreshing because she'll call us and besides the violence herbs are also hit by economic was there 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 numbers left authorities overwhelmed. then it actually remembers what this is like. after fleeing, he 1st received accommodation at berlin's out of service airport in the jam packed facilities, bytes often broke out between refugees who come from around the world to live on
8:41 am
the w. like you'll have see on the, on the social media. people say germany is a paradise where a red carpet is rolled out for you, cause that is a lie above the refugee is 1st get put into a collective shelters and then each end and you only get to stay if you can prove to really i picked him as a little persecutions, i can't get the 7. yes on question. let him use a 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 that 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 that lighting warranty to the group of people who are actually being pers 6 on the engine who taught safety for 4000. 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. we have,
8:42 am
i do end up getting rejected. i'll try it in another country. there's no way i can go back on to get you over the push to he will have to convince german authorities . but such asylum cases can take years. or sweden's education system ranks among the best in the world and laptops were part of every day school life there's 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 of kribble. first thing as a school day begins, pupils turn in their phone 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
8:43 am
a surprise, you know, today and you're guessing us this real nice book. so now 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. a. hi, adam, this sarah moore, descriptions and on the laptop. so what might be hard or is that now we have to read us out before the computer to read? the exercise is a note for us, the don't think what and so the better with the books because the computer always freezes data, but i have trouble writing so it will be harder for me because now i have to write
8:44 am
everything by hand. so 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, is 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 the most lonely. yeah, they have a lot of account we read and understand less of what they read waste funding because 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,
8:45 am
meaning that different schools and teachers don't have to follow a uniform digitization approach. his government now wants to change that. so it is conservative, prime minister goals christmas and invited the winters of a reading competition to a small celebration. she says, especially primary school students should read more and administer for schools, and not 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 teaching materials with older children. i think you told, according to brain research, young children shouldn't be exposed to screens a tool that small bunch guy jumped in into suck, that's required in my odyssey. sweden's government gets its way. teachers will soon receive these guidelines. the minister for schools also wants to prevent young
8:46 am
children from being glued to a screen too early. this of the box of information from us not fast that i, even when i talk to parents that we need to get the box back. i remember go because of the schools and makes it easier 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 calendar link and linked back at the start school. it's 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 suite in school authority also points to the teacher's role. they need to handle the new tools correctly. something in the future is digital and i don't think we have to teach those 2 is black children
8:47 am
have them. yeah. won't be a little bit new if i could choose on coming in. i don't for a combination, the face is full, and that is caffeine of tv. 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 was future is threatened by climate change. the cost will assist breton even before down to an abbey. a with a must seize on any trip to the u. k,
8:48 am
so many found the offense, meals protectionist, the but now the same buildings that have survived the grizzly british aware that for centuries under threat from climate change has a gym, 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 on their own because of that sadness because of that, that watering grass that's happened. this means that the cost is becoming increasingly unstable as could collapse altogether if the extreme rains of recent years continue. the national trust which finances the blackening
8:49 am
a state through donations has published them in nominal 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 stones come the reins, which will penetrate even deeper 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 who still own the castles have to maintain them out of pocket which will prove increasingly challenging to it
8:50 am
skill. for example, he's the manager of navy home and is up on the roof every time it rains. often the gotcha is often opened with hailstones. 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. i look forward, she just creeps back onto 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, cause 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 that. 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 would do you what tails cod work, they swing have to be the band and taking of them. which is
8:51 am
a side rentals, isn't it? if we didn't have the visitors coming generation, some income, then we wouldn't be able to do the repairs of the 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
8:52 am
that you know you needed millions of pounds, then you would obviously have to face sending something such a new stoically, english fashion, richard compton doesn't let on how with the situation really 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 grants suppose houses like this permanently challenged the british government has not yet responded to causal and as requests nor to the national trusts report, which sent a pointing a minister for climate adaptation in the government would be pivotal. the time is
8:53 am
of the essence in britain's great historic buildings on to live on and now say to our final report is all about what it takes to make the perfect harmony. john or the genom alberto. pick, colorado is 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 a genuine problem in general, the general has to be made in the region around the italian provinces of one day and a and per ma'am. and there is a lot of skill and dedication that goes into the production. juliano has been a master cheese maker and more than enough for 43 years. driven by passion for the original part of mcdonald a john and it's unique production the appropriate for me, the fermentation is very important in the production process and that always has to
8:54 am
be under control. so i guess i don't know, but also the process that you're trying are maturing and cooking process that to uh you don't learn that it would only unit 3 years of experience the to find the perfect consistency. cheese makers field occurs between their fingertips the on the 2nd. okay, let me john over at john know can only be for dealing with here in this region. most a sole boy of the obvious secret is in the firm and also to get a focus on the way that nobody else has looked at on this one. and because the cheese a so valuable, a special consortium comes in to inspect its brightness and its authenticity. so much yes, that would be to me when the wheels are about 12 months old, we checked the entire stock them is about $4000000.00 wheels of cheese every year for which it might be the only product in the world that is 100 percent. and so
8:55 am
back down to a $1.10 to $15.00. so it's also a product that's often faked to estimate the damages of $2000000000.00 euros a year. trademark protection has been in place and we use since 2008. but outside of the you know, our fifteens big parmesan cheese is our every genuine permit. john no. to john no the 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 the mother normally the, the problem is that not a john no for me i didn't feel bottom is and of course a consumer who is not well informed will be deceived by you. so if somebody completely different, i mean the, the not for inspector on the bed pick body, it's a daily battle for genuine pun, mcdonald, a john, or maybe with 2 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 reports on social media. my name is,
