6:31 am
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 that there will be less and less safe spaces for people like her to live their lives in 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 tomorrow to kelly is confronted with regularly. the door to her organizations, offices still bear the signs of vandalism. some of the activists are here for a meeting. as to martha kelly as director of tbilisi pride,
6:32 am
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 cold, 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 arch of kelly is that the law is using hatred in georgia and society. and the day off to the adoption of this entails or
6:33 am
to bill of really the most famous transform and go to murdered. so actually, trans people have the most difficult blogger actor in model, cause already oper i'm, it's a, was the 1st person in georgia to publicly come out as transgender the day after the new law was passed, she was killed tomorrow, has also experienced violence. as the organizer up to believe, the 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 default, right? we got thrown stones and bottles, it was horrible. it just felt like all this month. so forks that we had putting to organizing the festival. and all this, it had just been for nothing. the activists say the rise of hatred and violence is
6:34 am
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 bullets the last 4 years have been particularly difficult. booty suits when it's got at that number with you. we had to overcome many challenges on the system and we couldn't have achieved any success with the george and people standing by their elected government. used to be at 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 have a very loyal attitude. hello. everyone has the freedom to live the way they want you to go through. so what's the most? because you're going to do suspend their science so that if we are a democratic country and there shouldn't be laws like this to almost to turn on the pacific. oh no, it's a disgrace that the government has this last 220. so it's really i do,
6:35 am
i think on only me us total us, hold for well, good, just by pride festival. any way they can live freely, either way it's hold on, thrown a volume against violence and insults over these. all. i did not say that she would have to be in georgia is a conservative country, and the orthodox church wilts 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 georgia 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 for neither of same sex marriages, nor partnership law. nothing got this or it's on the contrary. this law can be used as grounds to, to go after um, either opposing voices as well. of georgia was granted candidate status for e. you,
6:36 am
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 law. another restrictive law like the one that claim to be countering l g, b, t, t plus propaganda. the elections are unlikely to change that, but tomorrow is not giving up. we will get to work and we will have to knock on the door some of the position of the like new coalition government. so this 1st they abolish the entails. if it's a bill, along with the other anti democratic loss 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 killed farm animals. for sheep keepers like felipe the cortisol, it's
6:37 am
a clear case. he wants his animals to live in safety. a reporter travel to the spanish region of castillo and my own, where there's a lot of tension among sheep farmers and the entire community veering and wolf is a clever animal. they know that the sheep in cobbs here in north west and spain. oh, easy, pray. a lot 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 cortisol is alive. stop pharma here in northern spain, an average of 15 farm animals are killed by wolves in this region. every day, full foam is, it's a heavy blow, even though the regional government pays compensation for the animals. mitchell bunny for me. this is a huge loss, but not so much the sheep killed by the wolf, but also what comes afterward, the miscarriage in this way,
6:38 am
the stressed her to go 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 below and looking to book a couple of it will doesn't have to disappear completely hit a, but it has to be held and check on the account. if we want our hurts to graze company and help prevent forest fires, but i mean even if we want there to be shepherds in our village it, uh, i'll be in the boat, then we have to keep the wolves under control control. and me. and i found out each over to the lower level. the custody lindley own region is home to about 1800 wolves. some areas have the highest population density and full of western europe, even so the library and wolf is under protection in spain. to him as the honors as a wolf activist. as he works,
6:39 am
i suppose paul can sienna, do like label, and explains to visitors why he believes will need to be protected in the course. he's been locked in pop in the wolf and place a fundamental ruling ecosystem. simply that we've got a boy that has the weak and vulnerable training. it almost at some point that makes it something like a veterinarian of the forest and 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 those types control their own numbers. because 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 enough to 10 piece the hum to and has killed was before
6:40 am
you know, the world's attracts a wolf was here we do. and there's another few, the very fresh one. usually we don't think of this because having that, but we use different everything. okay. you didn't need it from uh amazing. and that because so many sheep were getting killed at the car and we'll probably also shot a few wolves every year and we'll cut out $400.00 when i'm on myself now that they've banned that into color. but we have to live with more and more livestock being killed. come up. okay, when i talk a little to the regional government as, as an impulse, even though there are options of wolves in this area that listed as an endangered species in all of spain, wolf hunting is found on local authorities. have the hands tied it from conflict, though it could have seen the conflict is escalating, moving to the walls, population will eventually stabilize when all of the remaining land and territory
6:41 am
is occupied. sandita. but then large scale livestock finding will no longer be possible here. see what spots livestock, foaming is an important source of income and this pulse of spain, sleep it is. sheep pharma has already thoughts about giving up his truck or say more than likely it's any worse. i'll look for something else and move to the city. work as a street sweeper or whatever they think i'm serious, just ready to go home but they go to class on it. i see the glass is the foam, is give up the flux, the will be few the sheets and less 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, turkey is becoming a popular destination for this outdoor activity with its breathtaking views and
6:42 am
unique landscape. the region of cup of doki in central turkey is the spot where hundreds of balloons take off every day and only providing spectacular adventure, but also much needed income for the region. we met melton as them who was one of the few female pilots offering international guests a once in a lifetime experience. and for her co workers, she is even a lot more. every morning before sunrise, the hills of top of tokyo are filled with a roar of fans. dozens of colorful balloons slowly inflate. that's when melton is them starts her work day. she's one of only a handful of women and turkey who pilots, a hot air balloon. we've checked the balloon again along with all of the roofs, and the propane supplies, everything's in order. now,
6:43 am
the co pilot's an i a waiting for permission to take off using a propane burner, who's them skilfully raises the balloon time to board. today's passengers are tourists from south korea. it's time for lift off the more than a 100 other hot air balloons take to the skies the . as the 1st rays of sunshine crowned the horizon, a marvelous spectacle begins above the volcanic crags of cap of doki. the notes and moves them guides her balloon above the rock formations and stays in touch with the control center by radio. she's been
6:44 am
a balloon pilot for more than 10 years. she says she's never experienced a dangerous situation. after an hour and a half, we touch down. it's a good opportunity for the balloon pilot to show up or scale. a precision landing straight onto the trailer. on this so, so we have a neighborhood wins whose guard the soul of the sun rise and the valleys from above and diamond it safely. normally everyone's happy silver mine cuz i but it's not just the ride. the tourists are impressed by i saw she was or shift, but she's finally kept to his surprise. not just a woman, but a woman wearing a headscarf. hostem knows that's what many people think. but she takes pride in
6:45 am
having worked her way up into the sky. despite her traditional background, then we will look at some of say, if i hadn't followed this pulse with determination, i would be giving a different life today and the stumble along the way school today. i lived my own life and it's my fault for my freedom. snelson lined up my parents cross or anyone else in my family and i moved, i've learned to say stopped that about the that was going to do today. who's 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 try to empower housewives to work here for at least a few hours a day. and that way they can contribute to the household income, kind of and also do something for the personal development a video to show you the for male colleagues. value is dams,
6:46 am
commitments and experience these days. it's hard to imagine the tourism business, some type of talk. yeah. without women building pilot the on the, on the balloonist needs patients and empathy. okay. now after all we work with tourists who have lots of questions and that's why women like male time are ahead of us. and i believe the customers are just happier after flights with meltdown 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. and her supports has made all the difference from my dream of becoming a balloonist. we'll talk more about them. is that when i see them fly over lou with
6:47 am
a big boss could 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 up here. it's one of the most dangerous cities in friends when mobile located in the french olds with a rise in 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 such him 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, the city of granados from the french alps is at the mercy of drug dealers. some
6:48 am
150000 people live in grenoble. the only district in central the 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. you go to so many people are afraid to go out on the street or let their children play outside. things seem to escalate so often as you only see when we move uncle wiley's triple to select the mall. everyone here knows him and saw him on my shaw with our son, boy and blue hair is who will lead to long time. residents are part of the heart and soul of the community. 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 streets in the evening. so bible caresoft in this district,

6:51 am
off is worried, so drug dealers are now occupying most of a building in the middle of the town. these arrows guide customers to the right place. a look out known as a shift sits in front of the entrance to one of the dealers that the police are nearby. the drugs are sold behind him inside the building. so i know it's powerful the residents, but as drug dealing in the building stairways, many people here have to come face to face with the dealers and the drugs out customers every day. it's also a matter of fact, he's gonna visit the what all she's now ordered the building to be cleared. the dealers have let it fall into ruin. even siphoning off the electricity in the hallway that poses a huge danger for the few remaining residents. the mayor is undeterred, she's installed more than $100.00 surveillance cameras already, but she also says that the french state has an obligation. the municipality of
6:52 am
37000 doesn't have a fully fledged police station with officers to patrol the streets around. the clock. mill is on risk and that's why we expect the government to provide more resources, basic 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 hot spot of my say, we return to the alma district in the city center best 9 and 5 to him 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 i think we do is any way off to all this is all we wouldn't let this field the test down because i don't see it though. they're bringing their neighbors on board to,
