8:02 pm
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 pulling stations and the floods of misinformation prior to voting day. international observers also reported irregularities. the election commission declared the pro russian ruling party, the winner. thousands protested the official results afterwards in the capital of tbilisi. so for now, it looks like she will stay in power, george and prime minister. exactly cool, but he does it. according to official results, his party, george and dream receive more than half of the vote. 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 say spaces for people like
8:03 pm
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 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 march, i kelly as director of tbilisi pride, a group that advocates for the queer community. they're 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
8:04 pm
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 in the day off to the adoption of this entails or to bill of 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. tamara has also experienced violence as the organizer actively
8:05 pm
see. pride last year she reported live on georgia and television describing how she and fellow campaigners were attacked by a homophobic mon 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 put into organizing the festival. and all this, it had just been for nothing. 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 will do, but it's going on both the last 4 years have been particularly difficult. it is to twin this guy that the 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,
8:06 pm
but on the streets of to police see people seem largely accepting of l. g, b, t q plus rights. ma'am. so i have a very loyal attitude. well, everyone has the freedom to live the way they want it to go through sort of what some of the criminal is certainly going to do, suspend their science so that if we are a democratic country and so there shouldn't be laws like this one with the turn what then? what about the specific oh no, it's a disgrace that the government has this law to $26.00. really i do. i think i only knew this color was hold for well, good, just by pride festival. any way they can live freely. either way, you told on throne of volume against violence and insults cover these all, i did not say that she would have to compare beyond. 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 in recent years, but the new law and the conservative georgia dream party which was declared the
8:07 pm
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 got this or it's on the contrary. this law can be used as grounds the to go after um, 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 that the tomorrow is not giving up. we will get to work and we will have to knock on the door some deal position of the like new coordination government. so
8:08 pm
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 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 theory and wolf is a clever animal. they know that the sheep in cubs here in northwest and spain. oh, easy, pray. a lot
8:09 pm
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 code of sol as a life. stop form here in northern spain, an average of 15 farm animals are killed by wolves. in this region, every day, full fall unless 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 read this display of distressed 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, wolf hunting became a legal across the country fellow. i'm looking to book the top of it will, doesn't have to disappear completely hit a, but it has to be held and 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,
8:10 pm
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 berry and wolf is under protection in spain. to him, as the honest, as a wolf activist, he works as a wolf, hawkins sienna d like label and explains to visitors why he believes will need to be protected. the lower end probably because he's been locked in pop in the walls and plays a fundamental role and made ecosystem impacts. we've got a boy that has the weak and vulnerable tre savings it almost at some point that makes it something like a veterinarian of the forest. helping to prevent the spread of disease from it. others, wolves no longer have any natural predators here. the vials best once lived here on
8:11 pm
the go. ok, not the it's all though they have no natural predators, as those types 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 to 10 piece the hum to and has killed was before you know, the world's attracts, a wolf was here and there is another very fresh one. you already know think of this because having that but we use different everything . okay. you didn't need it from me so that because so many sheep were getting killed, pick on which we also shot a few words every year and we'll cut out 400100 when i'm on myself now that they've
8:12 pm
banned that. and we have to live with more and more livestock being killed quickly when i talk a little to the regional government as, 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 on local authorities, have the hands tied. if one conflict only gonna see in the conflict is escalating, moving to the will of population, will eventually stabilize when all of the 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. they think i'm serious. i don't think i'll but they
8:13 pm
go to class on it. i see the glass is the foam, is give up the floats, 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 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,
8:14 pm
the hills of carpet dokie 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 the one of the roads and the propane supplies, everything's in order. now, 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
8:15 pm
. as the 1st rays of sunshine crowned the horizon, a marvelous spectacle begins above the volcanic crags of cap of doki. the notes in those dim guides are ballooned above the rock formations and stays in touch with the control center by 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 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 guy the go sold,
8:16 pm
the sun rise and the values from above and i'm to safely normally everyone's happy silver mine because that but it's not just the ride. the tourists are impressed by i saw she was a shift, but she's filing a cup 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, 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 stumble along the way through 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 stop the receive a notice today who's them to vote through life to ballooning. she often pays

8:18 pm
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 budgets of them. is that when i see them fly 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 a little bit. 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 gang fighting for territory and dealers selling out in the open. well,
