3:36 pm
e u. accession negotiations. almost a year ago. the talks have been on hold for the past 6 months after georgia passed a controversial foreign influence law. another restrictive law like the one that claim to be countering l g b t, 3 plus propaganda. the elections are unlikely to change that, but tomorrow's not giving up. we will get to work and we will have to knock on the door. some people position of the like, new coalition government. so this 1st they abolish the intelligibility 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 killed farm animals. for sheep keepers like felipe the cortisol, it's
3:37 pm
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. the erie and wolf is a clever animal. they know that the sheep and calls here in northwest and spain all easy pray to the full. 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 barnett for me, this is a huge loss, but not so much the sheep killed by the wolf, but also what comes afterward. the miscarried,
3:38 pm
3 display distressed her to go. now philippe owns 1200 sheep. he's lost more tools than he can count. that's why the predators were once hunted down in this part of spain. about 3 years ago, wolf hunting became a legal across the country fellow and looking to book the job. 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. but i mean, even if we want there to be shepherds in our village, it, uh, i'll be on the bus boat, then we have to keep the wolves under control control and the phone on each over to the lower level. the castilian legal region is home to about 1800 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 mercy on us as a wolf activist. as he works as a wolf, hawkins piano,

3:40 pm
you know, the wilful drags a wolf was here. and there is another if you're the very fresh one. you know, think of this because having them will use different everything. okay. you didn't need from me so that because so many sheep were getting killed at the car and which we also shot a few words every year and we'll cut out 400100 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 the regional government has as an impulse, even though there are plenty of wolves in this area that 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 conflict is escalating, moving to the wolf population will eventually stabilize when all of the remaining
3:41 pm
land and territory 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 in this part of spain. philippe is sheep. pharma has already thoughts about giving up his truck or ship one of the if i get 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 and ready to go home, but they go to 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, turkey is becoming a popular destination for this outdoor activity with its breathtaking views and

3:46 pm
imagine the tourism business some type of duck. yeah. 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 mel 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, and her support has made all the difference from my dream of becoming a balloonist on budget. is that when i see them fly a brand new with
