8:34 am
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 eligible to lock you only, but it's for the last 4 years have been particularly difficult booty. certainly scott, at that number which 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. used to be at our toll from the government, but on the streets of police. 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. you to go through sort of what some of the cover is solely 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
8:35 am
pacific on, it's a disgrace that the government pass this law to $26.00 really i do is i think i've known him us toto was hold per well good just by pride festival. any way they can live freely, either way. it's hold on trone of volume against violence and insults cover these all i did not say that she would have to be in georgia is a conservative country. and the orthodox church we'll. it's a great deal of power. analysts say that georgia and 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 ground. there is no legal ground for neither of same sex marriages, nor partnership law. nothing of this or it's on the contrary. this law can be used as grounds to, to go after um,
8:36 am
either opposing voices as well. of 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 them, 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 college and 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 sleepy cortisol, it's
8:37 am
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 as the only theory and wolf is a clever animal. they know that the sheep and calls here in north western spain. oh, easy prey 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 code of sol as a livestock 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 bought a for me, this is a huge loss, but not so much the sheep killed by the wolf, but also what comes afterward,
8:38 am
the miscarriage read this way, the stressed her to go. no. philippe 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 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 on, at the lower level, the cost dealing leone region is home to about $1800.00 volts. some areas have the highest population density and pool of western europe. even so the library and wolf is under protection in spain. to him as the honors as a wolf activist, the key works as a rules,
8:39 am
paul can sienna deluxe level and explains to visitors why he believes will need to be protected. and probably because he's been locked in pop in the walls and place a fundamental ruling ecosystem. template all we've got a boy that has the weak and vulnerable tre. save it almost at some point that makes it something like a veterinarian of the forest kind of helping to prevent the spread of disease. and then from it, others will no longer have any natural predators here. the vials, past the once lived here on the go. ok, not the it's all though they have no natural predators as those type of control their own numbers. because only the alpha fair 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 food
8:40 am
can tease the hum to and has killed those before or you know, the wolf drags 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 a permit, but amazing and 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 $400.00 when i'm on myself now that they've banned that. and because we have to live with more and more livestock being killed, come up. okay. when i talk a little 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 it from conflict. though it could have seen the conflict is escalating, moving to the will of population will eventually stabilize when all of the
8:41 am
remaining land and territory is occupied data. 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. sleep it is sheep farmer has already thoughts about giving up his truck or say more than likely it's any worse. i'll look for something else to move to the city, work as a street sweeper or whatever. i'm serious. i don't think i'll go to class on it. i feel like that is the form is give up the slopes, that will be few the sheets and less pray. the will 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
8:42 am
a popular destination for this outdoor activity with it's breathtaking views and unique landscape for 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 milton as them who was one of the few female pilots offer an international guest, a wants in a lifetime experience. and for her co workers, she's even a lot more every morning before sunrise, the hills of capital kia are filled with a roar of fans. dozens of colorful balloons slowly inflate. that's when melton, whose them starts her work day. so she's one of only a handful of women in turkey who pilots, a hot air balloon. we've checked the balloon again, along with all of the roads and the propane supplies,

8:44 am
formations and stays in touch with the control center via radio. she's been a balloon pilot for more than 10 years. she says she's never experienced a dangerous situation. after an hour and a half, we touched down. it's a good opportunity for the balloon pilot to show up or scale. a precision landing straight onto the trailer. so we have a neighborhood wins guy that sold the sun rise and the values from above and damned it safely. normally everyone's happy silver mine because that but it's not just the ride. the tourists are impressed by what i saw see was a shift on both cheese pilot kept to his surprise. not just a woman, but a woman wearing a headscarf. hostem knows that's what many people think. but you takes pride in

having worked her way up into the skies despite your 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 they stumbled on luis. today i lived my own life and it's my fault for my freedom. it's north and line that my parents cross or anyone else in my family. and i move, i've learned to say stop the door to the rest of the today who's dumped a boat 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 her male colleagues value has dams,
8:46 am
commitment and experience these days. it's hard to imagine the tourism business, some type of tokyo without women building pilots. the smoke on the 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 windows 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. just for 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 support has made all the difference from my dream of becoming a balloonist. logics of them is that when i see them fly
8:47 am
a value 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 up here. 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 gunfire in the middle of the city. rivals, games are mired and a brutal turf war. the,
8:48 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 the novel seems peaceful, but it's one of the biggest drug trafficking hubs in the city. and best knock, how do you has lived here for nearly 40 years, and i've seen how the district has changed with adults. and so many people are afraid to go out on the street or let their children play outside things seem to escalate so often it's usually an issue when we move on for at least to select the mall. everyone here knows him and sat him on my shaw with our sun boy and blue hair, a single glow too 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 by emergency. 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
8:49 am
streets in the evening. so 5 a quarter soft in this district, the dealers hang out in a small square undisturbed. their conduct their business, opened the in broad daylight, cannabis and cocaine, or the drugs of choice in grenoble. the situation has been an escalating all year. there had been more than 20 shootings. 2 people had been killed and many have been injured. there's also been gunfire and shootings in fatima and bernard's neighborhood. excuse me, most of it is a weapons or a new thing is drug dealing is nothing new here. and the have always been fights or most the stopping. do you meet the now the carrying machine guns around me tell you . the palace of justice building is in downtown grenoble, chief public prosecutor eric bay. y'all is known across france for his campaign against drug gangs. he says the current escalation is partly due to the recent
8:50 am
killing of a prominent drug lord the use of to the present. you can come while he was released from prison a few months ago and was killed shortly afterwards near parents. of course, that's what the people that has the stabilize the gangs running this dr. dukes, the drug trafficking hub here in grenoble. you have these products. you see, other drug dealers now wants to take over me scarlet leading to a kind of turf war attic. but y'all 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. let's see what was news or 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 is 5 kilometers from the city center. recently there had been several shootings here to may or i'm on team dom
8:51 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 it's powerful the residence hall, 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
