12:30 am
the the hello and welcome to focus on your of my name is live, show, great to have you with us. the people of georgia in the caucasus region took to the polls to elect a new government. it was a choice between the pro russian ruling party and the pro european opposition. the parliamentary election was marred by reports of violence at polling stations and the flood of misinformation prior to voting day. international observers also
12:31 am
reported irregularities. the election commission declared the pro russian ruling party, the winner. thousands protested the official results afterwards in the capital of the b. c. so for now, it looks like she will stay in power. george and prime minister is actually copied zip, according to official results, his party, georgia dream receive more than half of the boat. but this victory is a cause for concern within the george and l. g. b t q plus community activists like tom or j. kelly are worried, there will be less and less safe spaces for people like her to live their lives and freedom. and with pride. in recent years, georgia has seen a rise in hate crimes and violence against the l. g. b t q plus community. it's a painful reality that tamara kelly is confronted with regularly. the door to her organizations, offices still bear the signs of vandalism. some of the activists are here for
12:32 am
a meeting to march. i kelly as director of tbilisi pride, a group that advocates for the queer community. they are a minority that feels increasingly under threat. everybody whose career feels really heavy and a lot of people have been leaving georgia actually in the last few months. we've seen a lot of people that like, i personally know go go abroad to seek asylum because they feel that it's not so safe anymore. that's largely due to new legislation that went into force in georgia just a few weeks earlier. according to its advocates, the main law called on family values and protection of minors will shield children and young people from supposed l. g b t q plus propaganda. the law of benz same sex marriage adoption by non heterosexual couples, gender reassignment surgery, and public advocacy of l. g. b t q plus rights. the worst of all system archer kelly, is that the law is using hatred in georgia and society. in the day off to the adoption
12:33 am
of this intelligibility bill. really the most famous transform and go to murdered. so actually, trans people have the most difficult blogger actor in model, cuz already oper, i'm it say, was the 1st person in georgia to publicly come out as transgender the day after the new law was passed, she was killed, the tomorrow has also experience fine. was the organizer of to believe she pride last year she reported live on georgia and television, describing how she and fellow campaigners were attacked by a homophobic mom shortly before the event. the pride festival was canceled. we've got uh, basically surrounded by the far right. we got thrown stones and bottles, it was horrible. it just felt like all this month. so forks that we had put into organizing the festival. and all this,
12:34 am
it had just been for nothing to the activists say. the rise of hatred and violence is due to a rocky club. i could say the incumbent prime minister, who, according to official results, was re elected to his post despite accusations of electoral fraud. he says his mandate has been confirmed. good, i'll go to law, you only, but it's going to blow up the last 4 years. have been particularly difficult booty since when it's got that the number of weeks. yeah, we had to overcome many challenges on the system and we couldn't have achieved any success without the george and people standing by their elected government. you submitted our toll from the government, but on the streets of to police see people seem largely accepting of l. g, b, t q plus rights, a man. so i have a very loyal attitude. well, everyone has the freedom to live the way they want it school, susceptible to must be criminal, is certainly going to do suspend the science so that if we are a democratic country in the us and there shouldn't be laws like this one moved to
12:35 am
turn on the, it's a disgrace that the government pass this law off to $26.00. really? i do. i think i don't even use photos holdups pretty well. good. just by pride festival. any way they can live freely. either way, you told them thrown a volume against violence and insults cover these. all i did not say that she would have to be out in georgia is a conservative country, and the orthodox church wields a great deal of power. analysts say that georgian society has become somewhat more accepting and recent years, but the new law and the conservative george and dream party, which was declared the winner of the parliamentary elections on october 26th, could reverse that trend. this law does not change much on the grounds. there is no legal ground floor neither of same sex marriages, nor partnership laws, nothing off this or it's on the contrary. this law can be used as grounds the to go
12:36 am
after um, either opposing voices as well. georgia was granted candidate status for e, you, accession negotiations almost a year ago. the talks have been on hold for the past 6 months after georgia passed a controversial for an influence last, another restrictive law like the one that claimed to be countering l. g b t, t plus propaganda. the elections are unlikely to change that the tomorrow is not giving up. we will get to work and we will have to knock on the door some bill position of the like new college and government. so this 1st they abolished it entails, if it's a bill along with the other and tied them across the close in georgia. but the road to change will be long and rocky. in europe in fairytales, no animal has a worse reputation than the big bad wolf. but even in real life, there's debate about whether wolves should be fully protected or shot if they
12:37 am
killed farm animals. for sheep keepers like felipe the cortisol, it's a clear case. he wants his animals to live in safety. our reporter travel to the spanish region of castillo and my own, but there's a lot of tension among sheep farmers and the entire community. the library and wolf is a clever animal. they know that the shipping calls here in north west in spain. oh, easy, pray for the 4 of them when you get up in the morning, you want to check on your hurt and see this. it's up. i don't sleep a quarter, sol as a livestock pharma here in northern spain, an average of 15 farm animals are killed by wolves in this region every day. for farmers, it's a heavy blow even though the regional government pays compensation for the animals . mitchell bunny for me. this is a huge loss,
12:38 am
but not so much the sheep killed by the wolf, but also what comes afterward the miscarriage read the display of the stress heard? oh no. sleep it owns 1200 sheep. he's lost more tools than he can count. that's why the predators were ones hunted down in this part of spain. about 3 years ago, both hunting became a legal across the country fellow and looking to book a shop. but if it will, doesn't have to disappear completely hit a, but it has to be held in check on the outcome. if we want our hurts to graze company and help prevent forest fires for them. and even if we want there to be shepherds in our village is, uh, i'll be on the bus boat, then we have to keep the wolves under control control and the phone up each over to the lower level. the cost dealing leonel region is home to about $1800.00 volts. some areas have the highest population density and full of western europe. even so the beery and wolf is under protection in spain. to him as
12:39 am
the honors as a wolf activist, he works as a wolf, hawkins sienna, didn't like labor and explains to visitors why he believes wolves needs to be protected. the lower end, throw it across the mountain and bump in the walls and place a fundamental rolling ecosystem seem pretty. we've got it, but it has the weak and vulnerable trace. i mean it almost at some point that makes it something like a veterinarian of the forest. it kind of helping to prevent the spread of disease from it. others will no longer have any natural predators here. the vials best once lived here on long gone. ok, not the it's all though they have no natural predators, as they pass control of their own numbers by the height is only the alpha pair has off spring. not the entire packed in the extent to which they reproduce also depends on the food supply. the whole stay of you sent it pen is just as mold and
12:40 am
enough to tam t is the hum to and has killed was before you know, the world's attracts a wolf was here we do and there's another if you don't very fresh one you already know think of this because having them we use different everything. okay. you didn't need it from me so that because so many sheep were getting killed at the car in which we also shot a few wolves every year. and we'll cut out 401 and one myself now that they've banned that. and we have to live with more and more livestock being killed quickly when i talk a little or the regional government has as an impulse, even though they're all plenty of wolves in this area. they're listed as an endangered species in all of spain. wolf hunting is found, and local authorities have the hands tied. if one conflict only gonna see and the
12:41 am
conflict is escalating, moving to the wolf population will eventually stabilize when all of the remaining land and territory is occupied. sandita. but then large scale livestock finding will no longer be possible here. but livestock, foaming is an important source of income in this part of spain. philippe is sheep. pharma has already thoughts about giving up his truck or ship. one of those guys, likely it's any worse. i'll look for something else and move to the city, work as a street sweeper or whatever. think. i'm serious. i don't think i'll hold the class on it. i see the glass is the foam, is give up the floats. there will be few the sheets and let's pray. the wolf population would decline. it would diffuse the conflict box as a cost a trip in a hot air balloon. i'm sure that's not just on my bucket list. well,

12:45 am
a woman wearing a headscarf. who's them knows? that's what many people think. but she takes pride in, having worked her way up into the skies despite her traditional background. then we will look at some of say, if i hadn't followed this pulse with determination, i would be living a different life today and the stumble along the way school today. i live my own life and it's my fault for my freedom. it's nelson lined up my parents trustable, anyone else in my family and i'm most i've learned to say stopped that about the seem to do today. push them to vote through life to ballooning. she often pays a visit to the local balloon workshop to take a look at the colors and patterns of the balloons. she's ordered. but she also wants to serve as a role model to other women here in east central anatolia. is it, is we trying to empower housewives to work here for at least a few hours a day and that way they can contribute to the household income and kind of and also do something for the personal development
12:46 am
a video to show you the for male colleagues value, those dams commitments and experience these days. it's hard to imagine the tourism business some type of duck. yeah. without women building pilots, the i'm not like on a balloonist needs, patients and empathy. now, after all, we work with tourists who have lots of questions and that's why women like mail time are ahead of us. and i believe the customers are just happier after flights with mail time. because on the, you know, that kind of patients comes in, especially handy when, who has them works with their students. she teaches balloon piloting to students from turkey and abroad. some of them are off to a rather wobbly start. her dedication to the next generation continues after her work days over. she's a role model, especially for young women, which she makes us women proud on the list and her support has made all the difference from my dream of becoming
12:47 am
a balloonist on budget. is that when i see them fly a brand new with a big boss good for the 1st time and they wave to me from above that makes me happy . i'm proud to be ready to build. and so with melton stems help, many more young women will take to the skies soaring above the landscape of capital . it's one of the most dangerous cities in friends, when noble located in the french olds was a rising crime rate, drug gangs, fighting for territory and dealers selling out in the open. well, security forces appear over whelmed by the magnitude of the problem. locals like them not and fatima are doing what they can to preserve the city, and to protect the younger generations from joining criminal gang. the gunfire in the middle of the city, rivals, games are mired and a brutal turf war. the,
12:48 am
the city of granados from the french alps is at the mercy of drug dealers. some 150000 people live in grenoble. the only district in central novel seems peaceful, but it's one of the biggest drug trafficking hubs in the city. best knock, how do you has lived here for nearly 40 years and i've seen how the district has changed. yeah, we've consulted so many people are afraid to go out on the street or let their children play outside. things seem to escalate so often that she only needs to remove uncle wiley's trouble to select the mall. everyone here knows him and sat him on my shaw with our son. boeing and blue hair is who will lead to long time. residents are part of the heart and soul of the community. so these days, they just walk past the dealers and ignore them. i was just saying, i try not to think about it too much, but the fact is that the stools are closing earlier and we no longer go out on the
12:49 am
street in the evening. so bible quotesoft in this district, the dealers hang out in a small square undisturbed. they conduct their business openly in broad daylight, cannabis and cocaine, or the drugs of choice in grenoble. the situation has been escalating all year. there had been more than 20 shootings. 2 people have been killed and many have been injured. there's also been gunfire and shootings and such a mountain bernard's neighborhood. student will see it is a weapons or a new thing. see, drug dealing is nothing new here. and the have always been fights or most the stabbing or do you meet the now the carrying machine guns around and tell you the palace of justice building and downtown grenoble. chief public prosecutor eric bay . y'all is known across france for his campaign against drug gangs. he says the
12:50 am
current escalation is partly due to the recent killing of a prominent drug, lord yourself to the police. only you can come while he was released from prison a few months ago and was killed shortly afterwards near parents. of course, that's all to pieces that has the stabilize the gangs running the strong. you'll see the drug trafficking hub here in grenoble toilet. you see other drug dealers now want to take over me scarlet, leading to a kind of tough floor medic, by you on, has stepped up investigations into drug crimes and increased patrols. but he's also using more creative methods. he wants to make life as uncomfortable as possible for the dealers to see what was news any. do i tell the social welfare office what the drug dealers are earning from what they do? they use that income to calculate how much welfare benefits the dealers will receive. who that means many dealers are no longer eligible for welfare benefits. what the question would be to the suburb of chicago as 5 kilometers from the city

12:52 am
but she also says that the french state has an obligation. the municipality of 37000 doesn't have a fully fledged police station with officers to patrol the streets around the clock and ask them she knows all the risk. and that's all we expect the government to provide more resources. bray took renewable shore more than $110.00 police officers . this past summer, the government stationed a special police unit in grenoble to quickly respond to any escalation, following a model already established in the drug hotspot of my se. we return to the alma district in the city center, beth 9 and 5 tomorrow are convinced that short term solutions aren't enough. think is there need to change, like more activities for children and young people to help keep them away from drugs. together with a neighborhood center, they've been organizing parties and events across the district to meal think we do is any way off to old. this is all we weren't let this feel free to us down because
