in generation a slash watch now on duty and dw documentary is kind of fun. it feels like therapy, the hello, and welcome to focus on europe. it's great to have you with us. russia's full scale invasion of ukraine is approaching the $1000.00 daymark. and women have also been stepping up to defend their country and home towns from russians. the tex valentina is a volunteer and an air defense unit. she's being trained to shoot down russian drills loaded with explosives and she's she to do. so. her hometown butcher made international headlines in 2022 when russian forces killed hundreds of civilians.

so as night falls, the sole cause of witches, of which i rise to face there in any for training as an a defense unit in a far as need be chosen by profession. valentino is a veterinarian for 3 months now. the 51 year old has been a member of the which is due to a volunteer unit to monitoring the skies over the town for russian drone to times today, the practicing shushing them down. you know, we're not going to win. the war never ends to a degree much blood has been spent. and let's see what the board is. 24 stuff and the never ending. kind of the round the clone. i'm a veterinarian and we don't have a record. we think of outpatient service that amount. what always ready so so that you put the issue is, is i'm the hotel or the fatality, not the training as a way to break from the task. when the invasion began in 2022,

she sold russian soldiers openly shooting and killing people on pictures streets. she hid with naples in a basement for days it was a splash level of don't trouble, it was terrifying. you know, it was very cold and we thought they tried to find out sure. when they, we knew they shot and killed children and women, it was terrible said, what was the road also for you was located. we couldn't go anywhere. i mean, that nimble. did you about this set up? it's about it's one of the 3 weeks she managed to flee, and the feeling of helplessness tormented her for a long time until she realized she had to do something about that's what you need. it some somebody's always gripped for a regular cold re show as soon as that ok, right now have every opportunity to redefine my experience with you and push on your a full year with others. i can drive the evil out of our country school hours at document. the drugs come on, most sides, at least the train is tell them, you know,

you don't to you bombs, explosions or channels every evening, which is every, to shoot russian and a rainy and shy head of drawings from the scott. they command to say some women, the mo, most devices demand, the which is a future. part of the army to volunteers unit is under the command. the regional government for didn't want enough just so maybe not really fast. if this has been blocked. so women are now signing contracts with the army when it's about transferring to various combat units. there is a short while ago, 3 women from just one class of mind. joining the armed forces is why i know at least 5 more who have applied for commissions in the military's recada civil service. would they keep it was it was not that you hold a more valentino says she's really had a good night sleep now, but she's aware of the danger with the training and camaraderie among the women has

helped her to feel strong. again. one of the course i never have brought to my line when i could have training has to change, but i was no, i'm guessing what and i myself. so i'm taking on completely new challenges. i can do because my children are old enough. what she's doing. it will suffice to 3 sons when she's completed her training by the team that will be roasted on 2 or 3 times a week. so she'll still be able to care for her younger, 11 year old, beyond what she also wants to study, emergency medicine, extremes. your style is you wouldn't even women's able to pick up weapons. so with them now when teaching all children how to handle them, then it's close enough to about to give compromise. and you say, nick, to lovely to soon spell and seeing this task to training. she's been playing video games with her sounds more awesome while they play, they talk about ukraine's future. they own long for peace, but they don't negotiating with russia as possible. yeah, most of the looking to repeat the chest. now. i wouldn't negotiate with anyone

holding a nice beyond their bucket response, offering me their hand has been the minute you put a hood to do. i wouldn't fall off enough to move left. so i'm a fucking chicken boy, chris. i expect all the trick. some nice, quite a bit bursting taina believes this will will go on much longer and the key is outskirts of long being that it's front line. the mission is to protect them. yeah, that's all i showed you. you could them, i couldn't. but if imagine running around with a machine gun and why age, when you'd be heads up too much. but once i have this in my hands on, you go with your solutions, right? where, right? they don't watch the lot. the youngest women account for a new small share of the troops in the country to this service is becoming increasingly important. it's long been clear to them that the global drug council and many men are exhausted. after long months and years at the front.

the oaks are crumbling, climate change is causing glaciers to shrink. but the melting ice leads to enormous level floods like here in switzerland, the summer. the masses of rock leaf destruction in the wake as the search down a residence. and this was the village witness of her roses, landslides, 1st 10th. the danger of new avalon just has left some inhabitants of new ton in no option, but to leave their homes. climate displacement has become reality in switzerland. francisco fund value is mowing the lawn in front of her house in switzerland's bernie's overland. one last time per family has lived here in the village of gluten in 4 generations. but the moving boxes are already packed. she has been forced to leave for home. it's printing by flows of debris,

known as looking at rock slides from the surrounding mountains. these images taken from a surveillance camera and boots on in, reveal the danger i can just need to cause and actually see much because of all the dust and misdemeanor. the weather was bad. it always is when things like this happened who it was just before doc and it was eerie. there's hope you could hardly hear the roar of the water from all the rocks being pushed along a creek bed. the smell of g, this was everywhere and thought that that had her house stands alongside the river. there was once a small river bed here. now some 20 meters of stone and debris have built up the next flood could hit the houses to boots on. it would actually make

a picture perfect postcard nestled amongst the tall mountains the way switzerland likes to present itself to towards a paradise. for bikers, hikers and mountain eaves, the nearby grooms old past offers day trippers and alpine panorama. savannah slippy, has no time to take in the scenery, go. lieutenants village mer, shows us what. supposing the french to his community offered if they moved and what they moved can use class clubs. it's these cool are just above the tree line. typically filled with rocks and ice all with temperatures rising though they've gone to fall out to so, so i'll throw in for bed amount for those with the spelling of the term across the warming that's intensively taking place collapses are coming out. the students process, the rock faces loose good, but if you get pharaohs, disclose that it's warm over a long period. and the 0 degree eyes as they're in line rises to 4000 meters,

a higher. so for 2 to 3 weeks in summer, either this area of the eclipse day and tribal criminal on the inside, you can disagree it can be and defiantly dangerous, like it was here in switzerland, in summer of 2024. following heavy rains, debrief low swept through a village in the keys on destroying key roads. a week later, after torrential downpours, one's hip neighbouring to chino and the saws valley in the valley switch tourist destinations are facing the consequences of increasingly hot summer paired with significant rainfall. mazda low speeds as an engineer, responsible for protecting the bernie's or whatnot. here, and begins. debrief flow even breached of 15 metre, high safety bearing in mid august,

masses of water swept through the village, taking everything with him, including 3. the local authorities are in regular dialogue with what he ends, residents, and don't shy away from uncomfortable truths. can of houses here and near the river bed stay, or will they have to make way for additional protective measure? rebuilding everything time and again would eventually become too expensive. the bad news. i know home that will never achieve 100 percent security evaluation coating. so mine in bed one time, it is fairly feasible, technically and financially. some of the other jobs in light of climate change, long uncertainty about how things was developed in the future is quite high, locked into cold stone, puffy, and come tens of thousands of cubic meters. of debris had to be removed, not just from the protective wall here, but he ends aims to start a fresh despite knowing that catastrophes like this are coming more frequently,

forced with mountain towns, a rethink is inevitable. but he took us all what, what the meaning of safety could no longer be assured. he said it took me in certain areas would come and use it will make a note for that. and that's all supplements, especially in highly exposed mountain region. this might even have to be abundant for all mean den derek and the stock explain. you'd soon abandon entire villages because climate change makes it too dangerous to keep living there in nearby. a good turn in that decision has already been made. the houses here have been evacuated, francisco phone bag and, and her family will soon move further down in the valley into a new, safer home based on support us with. i feel right. so you can really simple something happens. it just shows how quickly something like that can take place. that's depending on the situation. you might not have time to react. i'm having a good many teeth in swiss l time towns residents. no,

no matter how i deal like it may look, there is no denying the forces of nature. let me introduce you to new. it's new, it's mailed in of a very special kind. he walks through the seat. yes, you heard that right to deliver letters and small parcels deliveries are dictated by the titles schedule, allowing fluids to traverse the flats only, whether accessible during low tide. it's a 13 kilometer round trip from the island of headboard located off of germany's north sea coast to the island of 0. follow us on a journey through mind blowing beauty, the walls and sea, after all, busy and escal will heritage side. every few days clued knudsen tricks across the mud flats and knolls, in germany to the lives of miles. the sea gulls probably recognize him from a distance before he sets off. he has a quick look at the tide report, long cloud,

931. today, 3, o 8 am. all one need to discuss as low tide was 3 quarters over in the night. you got something good. now we've got 575. that's still quite a lot, but i'm feeling optimistic. stop this. yes. what can you see? 69 year old news isn't he's post office and he's home on the island of pel. room. if low tide isn't low enough, the mail stays where it is connected, can't deliver it. as long as it looks like this outside, they wouldn't be any mail. 6 hours later, the month flats, cold, bath in gym and our expenditures, the months that melman thinking sees rounds often takes to rest. so the locals rarely joined the trip. first, the guest scan horizons. where are we going? they wonder? now they're off to the tiny island of suit enrolled,

the i need to make it to the 6 and a half kilometers away. will be there for an hour and then come back to the same way and be to the if we're lucky we won't end up with with but so that nothing had done. connote is happening, walking in line and doesn't try to convince anyone. veterans you, the new old ones are com if you want to turn back on us. okay, so make sure that the crew will to heights across the mud flats. and now they're walking directly into the north sea. your 1st impression beautiful. cold. the so yes, so here it's a bit deeper. this and p 5. that's predicted the low tide isn't really that long. we allow no, we still have quite a bit of water to way through the toilets. doable,

difficult. delivering the mile by floating is partly extradition, but it's also more practical. how would it both navigate here? for the month slot hiking group, it's not just land and size, but also beneath the wet feet. 10000 plant and animal spaces live on the mud flats . many of them in the sea bid commute is fascinated by the vault strictly protected floor on the phone when he's previous so suddenly felt ill, almost 25 years ago in the mud flooding. mile man position opened up. he didn't hesitate to step in the fall and kind of hold. there aren't any cars here. there must be, there is no traffic noise. you can really hear the birds here. so how can you test traverse the last spaces and arrived at the on? there's no fanfare just a typical mode in german. welcome. hello. no.

good morning. like if you are exhausted, fox loved to take part finals, or if it was a really good height, a unique experience crossing the model allow us to get to an island. i mean this case, and i know this is what i don't understand why it's a bit tiring, but otherwise, literally, the farmhouse is the only building on the island. besides the shape full of people live on suitable mazda a father and 2 children, a phone, and 3 times a week, community becomes part of the family to like a part time granted. know how to conceive this includes the community is like family to us. of all the, there's no question i love when something's happening, when the children have the face closest to the full size of christmas, does a holiday nice and all those ones? do you play a tag a know you're always, well, i don't have any children. so as far as that goes on, yeah. fell in love with suitable decades ago when he went to the young construction

with coastal protection syndrome. i you've obviously i worked on the weeks over summer so i just have a connection with the silent. so a brisk southwesterly, wind is picked up and the clouds gathering, but it's time to head back. they've got 6 and a half kilometers ahead of them across the month floods. how many kilometers have you done? on the way around the globe. certainly 25000. seems i want to do it for 10 more years now, i am turning 70. i hope to keep it up. as long as i make my customer like this is their life without a cell phone. if you ask students in school, somebody look for an answer on their devices. according to the world health

organization, more and more school age kids in europe are struggling to put their smartphones aside. well, a school in the netherlands has found a solution to the problem. cell phones and tablets are banned even during breaks. was it at the highest schools and asked them to see if this measure has improve the students concentration at social interactions to this my file is getting locked away for a while. it's i am this 12th grade german close to it by thomas pate. this is a phone freeze for the school based on some students must leave the cell phones in the list or at home. they use this thumbs during lessons for you and, and student before a phone would sometimes ring during class as much of a bus. and i thought that was kind of on the, on the side of loot frontage. they took items. i don't know if it's useful says i've improved, but i don't know if that's down to my if it's over the phone,

then the full disease. anyone quote, with a cell phone must surrender it, they wouldn't get it back until 5 pm, which is a real drag on the days when cost is finished. charlie, not only for mine hasn't been confiscated yet, but i'm also really castle. i don't want to have to stay till 5 o'clock and just because of my phone, so it took me to the website for with life. but the problem has been in place the yeah. so what's the students that have you, as our job says there are fewer disruptions raise your hands mostly in the reaction isn't 7 ccf stick the middle of a lot. after half a year's worth of experience, i have to say the students do concentrate much better during the lot assessments. and so you want to extend the class, see it's much quieter in class, and there are fewer argument h mobile is where it comes to the problem. let's just move on to everyone's look like there's something. so you'd have to check out the door and say, put it away, it will be with the fault. and then there's resistance unexcused tional stage

because based 8 minutes of lesson time and gloves. i'm sit, i'm sickness. canada young was one of the fast schools in the netherlands to complete the prohibits cell phones and costs following adults. government initiatives. well, not a legal requirement for schools. it's strongly recommended. studies done in spain and britain shows self find funds kinda improve concentration during lessons. that's especially true for a week, a students sets you up funded to to help develop guidelines for the find on the field. the mobile cell phone apps like tick, tock and snap chat are made to capture users attention focus in this industry. it's all about attention degree and that means one single teacher is up against the big tech firms, and they're incredible wells and everything is so intelligent and psychologically designed to grab it attention and keep it. so it's a losing battle cleared out. but it's not just about distractions. the social

aspect, students are supposed to play in chest impasse and knocked on the screens. so the bottom comes break times to it's smart to learn to deal with others without using science because today everything is online. i check g, p t cetera. so we need to learn to get home with others and spend less time on now firms. but not everyone follows the rules. songs may files have confiscated to phone the best, safely with the janitor. oh yeah, it, it goes with our contact with the students and that's nice for me. it's a musically and then, but it's still a cut them now sky to the kids whose phones have been confiscated and it will be on the last name. all the others can be claimed that devices as soon as that officer done whatever beeping sound yourself. so next, it's a trifle for these parents to imitate their highly intelligent birds that can learn

to closely mimic sounds. songs add language, the u. k is biggest power century located in link, osha is home to more than 1000, relocated birds. visitors from all over the world are attracted not only by the diversity of species, but also by their range of communication skills. some birds have picked up some rather unusual cavalry stuff even had to install a disclaimer. notice wanting the visitors about the birth colorful language. i'm gonna say, yeah, this totally jingle, you know, welcome you to give them for thinking these colorful creatures of the stalls that this was like century on england's east coast bots. new calico further and you'll find the real the ip area though these parents can squawk some of the salty sweat was this side of the 7 c persecution visitors and stuff like
