never thought i'm giving up, but lives sometimes thought that i just can't take this anymore. what drives them to keep going? and the sound of simple stuff on dw, the hello and welcome to focus on your thanks for joining us today. ukraine's troops are facing a new assault by russian forces trying to h 4. it's at the front line to help defend the country. ukraine not only is western weapons badly, but additional soldiers. a recent mobilization bull aims to provide fresh costs. groups to the outcomes troops. in preparation for the deployment,

the recruits have to undergo basic training before joining the military unit. not an easy situation for civilians turning soldiers, but in necessary one says english teacher, philip. otherwise, he voluntarily signed up after more than 2 years of war. she wants his country and is hometown keys to become a safe place again? an appeal vacuum. not just to keep it, but to prepare for the berries. we had one felipe of an ankle has decided to join the ukrainian abi if sounds like uh too much to see it is yeah. but i have lost the meaning of my civil life. civilian people died like every day, and it's not a joke. once a month i wake up due due to explosions or flashing, besides bone being key. and in this case, learning programming or becoming

a developer or grades in your family. it feels like you are a low, i'm line to myself. silly as an english teacher in the put to yours has been working for months on his physical and mental fitness right now. although people think that the right now is the worst moments to join army. and i understand that because your brain lacks less shells. ideally, man, everything we're like, i would have things i feel the time, but i do, and i don't care what the situation on the phone line is. i'm strong enough to protect my own candidates. felipe has meet another important choice to join the prominent ministry unit. the dumping cheap once it's found to me through the bank bill who was kinda nimble quote, last year is

a national hero in ukraine as a spot as a bid to boost recruitment military units like the da vinci wouldn't allow hiring people on their own. they recently opened this recruitment center in keith phillips in listing at the time when you creams, outcomes, army pieces of renewed russian defense. the end of all i been thinking about fear a lot. uh, i have a fear of my body, but my mind is strong. when i go outside i see the majority of people are afraid because war is freaking scary. and you either break or become stronger and nobody knows when it finishes fulfilling his decision marks

a new start. a clean break from his life in keith. i don't need these things and i'm not sure that i'm gonna come back from work. he's giving up his rental apartment. i'm leaving for a military cleaning camp in a few days. but saying good bye isn't easy. felipe is cut off ties with his father in odessa, who he says remains staunchly pro russian. he says assembly be isn't even aware. he's joining the army. who would he missed the most of my friends? i feel that it's worth protecting them if

they have to be sold. yeah. but the most difficult part of yeah, that's the thing. my friends of a are a really amazing people in the afternoon, philip meets 2 of them, said he and e, or have known for the since the child is decision to join, the army has still a lot of emotions cleans all me is struggling to find the pressure to a new mobilization loan has tightened registration procedures for men, each $25.00 to $60.00 and impulse dependencies for dropboxes. for the po ever made his decision when before but i gave someone i supports that leap. i feel proud of him for making such a difficult decision. there's always katie and i'm also a little ashamed that i haven't made such a decision yet because i could have made working with them and google thing and

the small items. so of course i'm worried about and not felipe, as mentioned more than once, that maybe this is our last meeting to international fixed. by a few days later felipe has begun his ministry training fact he's already loaded to carry a weapon. he has to be up in the camp by 6 every morning to the, the group of recruits is learning to the booby traps and minds. felipe remains clear about what's at stake. all these hor, all the state, or is that the options due to ukraine? ukraine and people don't deserve that. i see that if i don't protect my country, my country will cease to exist despite the difficult bought ahead. for

now, felipe says his decision to join the ukrainian alby has never felt more right. the public opinion in britain has largely turned against the notion that breaks. it was a good idea according to a use of survey. and majority of brits regret leaving the european union and opinion was supported in the north west of scotland, especially among the fishing community on the isle of skye. they complained about lower profits and extensive rich tapes since the case exit from the common market. blair mckinnon has little hope of seeing things change for the better in the near future. at the outer edge of europe, the small island of sky is feeling the full force brakes at the stomach. and finally has been fishing for 3 generations. the fishing sector was one of the

most vocal supporters of preexisting britain because of catch quotas. now especially those who fish for carter, how about are disappointed, but it comes like that. that's where you get a lot of problems for all the other fishermen. they all thought west the next that we'd get our cool basketball ever, which tends to really seem to be the case. so, i mean, i've got a bit of cool stuff back, but not, not much. the beginnings length of stains, crumbs and lobsters are still mostly exported to the continents. when adjusted for inflation, the prices for the sea food have fallen and there's more paperwork and broader c involved in selling abroad. now let's go to some, an industry as an important employer in sky. it estimates for exit accounts for annual losses of up to 100000000 pounds because of the increased costs of exporting summit breaks. it is also impacting the islands infrastructure. the highlands of

scotland benefit greatly from being in the european union. so we've lot, we've lost all that and we have to rely on on hand dates from from westminster, and they're not as good as we did we had before. so the british government promised the scouts, the brakes it would pay off. they said scottish products would then be exportable to new growth markets via a new free trade agreements with the in the pacific region. but the people on skype have yet to see even a trace of that's the biggest problem for us is just because the getting people here cuz i least before, like there's the eastern blog, can you, if we could, if we have a lot of radians, eastern europeans all coming to work here, tourists clock to the picturesque island and summer. they used to be seasonal workers from the u. today, they're hard to come by. if you look at some of our really top color to your tails fight forced out or tails. a award winning restaurants, they have to cut back on the number of people. they can take it into their

practices because they haven't got the stuff to case it from. people on the left line and say briggs, it's is responsible for all of that. i was against it and i'm still against it. i don't know if i know people who voted for it, none of them would fall forward. it to the traces here have gone up a lot, people are blaming directs that they're saying it's harder to get goods and, and i think is was a 100 percent. and that doesn't seem to really be a plan for breaks. that like, was a plan like we're, we've been in it now for a while and we've not done nothing about it, you know, on to any locals who are benefiting from brakes. it getting worse and worse and construction. here the problem is the shortage of skilled labor that used to come from eastern europe. the 31 year old says he doesn't have to worry about anyone taking his job. but he's still just a few briggs. it's as beneficial. fluids the island down to that fluid building

don't? yeah. the materials and as i'm getting stuff here, obviously as an island is a struggle anyway, but i would, i would say it definitely had its effect, estimating the exact financial impact of breakfast and scuffling dis complex. and depends on various factors, but the pro european scottish governments puts the losses of available phones in the billions. during the coming parliamentary elections and printing, the scottish nationalist will try to capitalize into products that blues, akin says the strategy could work. a lot of scotland vote to stay in the in, but like in the they didn't what breaks it. so i reckon the, the only thing that may come from it is a dependence because a lot of people want to go back into the survey show, no current majority for independence, but this content with brakes, it is evidence extending beyond the i less guy. it cuts over, you know, sort of a as looking for new prospects in life. history has left its mark on her hometown

and laughed via her neighborhood exudes the steel spirit of the soviet. paused including many of the buildings here. it's up hang over from the long soviet occupation before last the cloud independence in 1991 thousands of russian families stayed there at the time like in the seaside town of carrasco, or formerly restricted military area under. so if you had room yeah. residents in particular feel it's time to start a new chapter in costa. so the waves battered the old fortress of carrasco. in lafayette. it's soviet history is long gone, but in some ways not much has changed. 19 year old katya lives here in colorado. as does her friend clip the to try to see the silver lining and cross to a place with many sites to it.

the bonus to show you can have a good time here. if it's a good place to relax. for tours, for example, the sea is nearby. we have beautiful landscapes in good weather. but yes, there are very peculiar people here or means that old houses and buildings listed or key all in all. it still has the air of an isolated military compound. no group, of course in the system where you have no clue that did not over cross the is like a museum of lucky is turbulent history, commissioned and constructed over a century ago during this artist era is a gleaming golden cathedral later, the soviets took over for us to the military garrison became a restricted area. when lucky i regained its independence in 1991 and the russian

troops withdrew. thousands of russian families remained here. but their hopes for a better life failed to materialize. maybe that's why people are so close to us. yeah, it has to do with our history. i couldn't even in the new lafayette, the former restricted area remains a world of its own. though no longer a hot bed of drugs and violence, a certain melancholy lingers here. but katya and gloves refused to resign themselves to this. the springs in the air. twice a week to come here to the house of hope. then you taught deanna mccovie that supports local teenagers from colorado. stuff moment that was the beauty of old. it's a safe haven for young people. i used to somebody from told me that without

a house of hopes they might not be alive today. some days, tatiana hosts up to a 100 teenagers. here they can little steam laugh together and take their minds off things that the most the man thinks it's for anyone looking for emotional help. they might be worrying too much about life or struggling with a child today at home. is that then you kind of times like that with that for them while i do have a 2nd, let me know if i'm in that place. i didn't learn how to work with would here. there wasn't any kind of. so we have a stray cats and i want to build a house for her. so she has somewhere to live there with the bundles of it all started here among the prefab buildings of crossed almost 30 years ago. property was rights so much so that hungry children would knock on tati on his window for a slice of bread. many teenagers came to tatiana for help over the years,

including christina, an old kind of those on the i got mixed up with the wrong people back then most of them and started injecting drugs. actually the metal giana by chance, she saw my 4 arms only with an old and she made me realize that i was on the wrong path. so look for the edge group and then i could change my life is easy. you're much where we just most the most appoint me. i just really put to being there for so many people is not easy. but tatiana is faith helps her through the day. now because you have the potential, everyone wants to be loved, but no 2 families can provide love. when you think that you, you see, that's why it's important that we support each other with. or who do you mean for just talk to you on his work is financed predominantly through donations from germany. for example, in this building, the joint mural, tatiana would like to open a 2nd huge center. she sees the potential in colorado and the special people who

live here, the music i'm know, which i want to make my dream of going to college. come true. but i also want to help out at the youth center for doors. i could be there for teenagers like me and those who situation is even more complicated as of course the so as everyone has their dreams here began small for glib and katya carrasco has been stuck in the past long enough time now for the future getting a jobs can be quite a challenge if you are a person with disabilities at the european union level, only 50 percent of people with disabilities are employed compared to a 75 of people without disabilities. jacob, a rough, so you had to struggle hard to find

a job in your home country comfortable. she faced even bigger hurdles, but she succeeded. that's a rarity in this small country, in the southeast of europe, which rarely integrates people with disabilities into the workforce. and where existing laws are not enforced at almost 50 jeffrey of the real see, has started a whole new life jekka as she is known as a person of short stature. she is one meter 40 tall with a couple of moving the i've been working here for one year in full month a year. and so i feel very comfortable working here. this job has made me feel appreciative, and i have a great time with my colleagues. stomach, when they start doing some media and with free, we communicate and help each other, which means we're very close. you have some, any more showing on his visit. the factory freeze produces kitchen and toilet paper

and cardboard boxes. one day 30 people will be employed here and the business, the fact we're still a new company and our aim is to become profitable as soon as possible. but we won't keep the profits. all our proceeds will be donated to people with disabilities. i'm on that, i'll send jessica and her sister, not the travel back to their home village as often as they can much um for some as a person with disabilities living in kosovo is very difficult. it's a country where nothing is as it should be associated. it's so difficult, you can hardly imagine stuff and their brothers referred to islam have the same disability is mom is bedridden and suffers from depression. he's okay with being filmed, but that's all the fuck out there,

of course. and then the, the support see you're on the right, the goal to just and then help from a state. and yeah, as i pay the people or anyone that well set and is loved face discrimination even within their own family. there are 3 other siblings. avoid them without jack, i don't see a support. the 2 brothers would be lost. one is telling me at the islam and i x receive a $100.00 euro disability benefits. use electricity costs 20 years a month. watch 10 of your new waste disposal 5. that's the have to pay $15.00 euros for the television license from that that about 50 euro is altogether. does that, that for is i'm, i need to buy medication costing 50 euro. so that's $100.00. yours in total. how are we supposed to live on that? yeah, if i answer but finding a job is impossible. after all rough,

it looks after his brother around the clock. jekka also struggle design work until she was hired by fresure, financed by the golden eagle foundation. free just drives to uphold their worker's dignity. but we've received no support from the state or any institution so far. we covered all costs with funds provided by the golden eagle foundation. all of that was the construction of the plan to for employing workers and everything else that's needed for the factory. large kosovo companies are legally required to employ people with disabilities, but the law isn't worth the paper. it's written on say, disability associations. local bunny, there have been cases where companies or institutions even paid money just to avoid

hiring people with disabilities. that's why jetta and the fee a do what they can to help their brothers were upset and islam they cook and stuff supplies to last until their next visit. chapter 3 this i am very happy on the 3 days we visit because they need to discuss the problems and me company mitchell hall and danica was telling me about the i want to make them happy to have someone here who supports the military. they to see so they can so i guess one of the pain, you know, i don't know it could i at least while i'm here on us. yeah. i don't know. so can i put it in the box? yeah, thanks to her job jacket to now stand on her own 2 feet. entering the factory grounds, she says, is always an amazing feeling. you probably assume i'm a real person. right. well, you never know. i could be

a virtual host created by artificial intelligence. i'm not, but it's no secret a i is seeping into everyday life and a pain is certainly divided over that. especially when the lines start to blurb between humans at machines. take a re 9 from spain, for example. she's a striking t v host from barcelona, with a huge fall or shape on social media. but you won't ever need her in reality. spanish tvs version of i'm a celebrity, a young, a friendly, flawless host appears. what's special about all the renada is she only exists in the virtual world in the middle of december. first, we use artificial intelligence for the script to get ideas deal with the then another a for the image, and then another that has special post production tools stuff. but i,

if i'm in the zip of funds you created as a virtual influence here. although renee was designed to have an appearance and communication style that resonates with gens the viewers. and when it comes to content, the a i learns and even develops her own ideas and suggestions. she's prompted to suggest a clip on instagram and to answer in german. it would be exciting to make a video where i present different tasks and urban surroundings the scene to take place in a modern public park. and most likely collect information and ideas that are screen play and writing teams proposed and unit. uh, we didn't feed into the alba training model, and she didn't mix her own submissions tools, but we thought are better suited to a personality and how she expresses herself like a few aspects you, that she's a highly marketable persona. perfectly adapted to her environment. and she generates lots of posts on social media for creators make no secret that she's

virtual. but there's ongoing discussion about the potential ethical dilemmas. this is an organization having of course, he's not a journalist and you know, it's just not trying to be here to see has been of that. but it's true that this project leads us to new horizons and all these on this color. but of this, i'm into a list on this and then we need legislation to protect us soon, but it takes to replicate a job, at least the main threats and poses to journalism, revolves around issues concerning faith, news, this information and manipulation for them. i see on the money point of view and in are increasingly digital landscape. although renada is a fictional character with a very real need for regulation. hey, sometimes i kind of like the wrinkles on my face. that's all from this week's edition of focus on your hope you enjoyed our show. you can look up all our reports and our website, d, w dot com, make sure to june. and again, next week to you then by
