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 day mark. 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 keen 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 which is of which i rise to face through any for training as an air defense units in a far as need be chosen by profession. valentina 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 traumatized.

today, the practicing shooting them down. you know, we're not going to win. the war never ends too much, so much blood has been spent. and let's see what the board is. 24 stuff in the never ending. kind of the round the clone. i'm a veterinarian and we don't lose enough or record we think of outpatient service. that amount, what always ready to move to the queue, but 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 saw a russian soldiers openly shooting and killing people on pictures streets. she hid with naples in a basement for days. when it was a stash level of don't trouble, it was terrifying. you know, it was very cold and we feel they try to find someone there. we knew they shopped 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, the nimble local did you bought this surplus devices up to 3 weeks,

she managed to flee. 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. somebody's always gripped for a regular cold rainy show us. so as that is here right now, have every opportunity to redefine my experience, you and pressure on your a full year with us is i can drive the evil out of outcome. stress flawless at document that i the drugs come almost silently. the train is tell them, you know, you don't to you bombs, explosions or channels every evening which is different to shoot russian and a rainy and shy head of drawings from the scott. they command to say some women a mole, most evasive demands the which is a future. part of the army for volunteers, unit is under the command, the regional government for

them when enough, just so might be 9 really fast. if this has been blocked. so women are now signing contracts with the army or 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 of at least 5 more who have applied for commissions in the military's recada civil service. when they get to the boys. it was not that you hold a more violent. tina says she's rarely had a good night sleep. now, but she's aware of the danger with the training and camaraderie among the women has helped to to feel strong. again. one of the course, i never have talked to my line when i could have training has to change, but i was not, 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 all for. they have 3 sons when she's completed her training file into and it will be roasted on 2 or 3 days 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 when i'm now when teaching all children, how to handle them, then it's class would knocked about to give out promises and you say negative lovely to students, valentine, this task to training. she's been playing video games with the sounds more awesome while they play, they talk about ukraine's future. they own long piece, but they don't negotiating with russia as possible. yeah, most of the looking to repeat chest. now. i wouldn't negotiated with anyone holding a nicely on their bucket with one offering me their hand has been the minute you put a hood to do. i wouldn't fall off and that the movie left. so i'm a fucking chicken boy, chris or i'd expect all the trick. some menus call them to get paste. taina believes this 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 how i showed you. you could them, i couldn't bit of a match. i'm running around with a machine gun in my 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 all watch the lot, the youngest women that account for only a 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 land floods like here in switzerland, the summer, the masses of rock leaf destruction in the wake, as they searched down hill residence. and this was the village witness of her roses, landslide firsthand. 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. the francisco phone bell again, is following the loan in front of her house in switzerland, bernie's overland. one last time for family has lived here in the village of good ton in 4 generations. but the moving boxes are already packed. she's been forced to leave for home is printing by flows of debris, known as looking at rock slides from the surrounding mountains. these images taking the from a surveillance camera and boots on in reveal the danger i just need to actually see much because of all the dust and miss jeanette. the weather was bad . it always is when things like this happened who it was just before doc and it was

eerie. there's hopefully you could hardly hear the roar of the water from all the rocks being pushed along the creek bed. the smell of this was everywhere. as it had her house stands alongside the river. there was once a small river bed here. now some 20 meters of stone in debris have built up. the next flood could hit the houses to turn in would actually make a picture perfect postcard nestled amongst the tall mountains. the way switzerland likes to present itself to a towards a paradise. for bikers hikers and mountain names, the nearby rooms will pass offers day trippers and alpine panorama. to them no slip, he has no time to take. and let's see here we go. boots on ins, religion air shows us what's posing the fridge to his community. offers. if they

move in, what they move can use class club. it's these cool are just above the tree line, typically filled with rocks and ice all with temperatures rising the basic gun to saw out. those that's all stolen from panama, for those with the spelling of the term across the warming dots intensively taking place collapses are coming out the students process the rock sites as loose and appreciate your fellows disclose that it's warm over a long period and a 0 degree isis there in line rises to 4000 meters a higher. so for 2 to 3 weeks in summer, even this area because stain, tribal criminal on the inside, you can decent where it can be and defy at least dangerous like it was here in switzerland in summer of 2024. following heavy rains, debrief, low swept through of electronics these on destroying t routes. a week later, after torrential downpours one's hit neighboring to chino and the saws valley

in the valley switch tourist destinations are facing the consequences of increasingly hot summer paired with significant rainfall. matos fees as an engineer responsible for protecting the bernie's overlaps here in polygons at debrief flow even breached a 15 meter high safety, buried 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 measures? 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 mid one hand, it is fairly feasible, but technically and financially. so all the other golf and lightest, climate change long uncertainty about how things will develop in the future is quite high locked into cones and talk to you and come tens of thousands of cubic meters of debris had to be removed. not just from the protective wall here, so he ends aims to start a fresh despite knowing that catastrophes like this are coming more frequently. force with mountain towns, a rethink is inevitable. but he took us all. what would it mean to safety could no longer be assured. he said it took me in certain areas would become unusable making notes that that's all supplements, especially in highly exposed mountain region. this might even have to be abundant. um for all mean den derek and the stock explain year to 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 and valiant in her family will soon move further down in the valley into a new, safer home. the sound sport us through a few grateful you can leave simple something happens. it just shows how quickly something like that can take you slow. so depending on the situation, you might not have time to react. i'm having a good many teeth in swiss alti and towns residents, no, no matter how i do like it may look, there is no denying the forces of nature. let me introduce you to conclude new. it's mail then 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, is an escal will heritage side. every few days clued knudsen tricks across the mud flats and knolls, in germany to the lease 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, 30 8 am. hell, what i 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. saltisha for 69 year old news isn't his 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. couldn't con, deliver it as long as it looks like this. outside, they wouldn't be any mail 6 hours life of the month slots cold bath in gym and are exposed the months. but ma'am and thinking sees rounds often takes to rest. so the locals really joined the trip 1st to get skin horizons. where are we going? they want to know the rest of the tiny island of pseudo road the i need to make it to the 6 and a half kilometers away. we'll be there for an hour and then come back in the same way and be to the if we're lucky we all to end up with with. but some of the nothing had done. connote is happening, walking in line and doesn't try to convince anyone. residency, the new old ones are com, if you want to turn back on us. okay,

to start initially the group will to hide across the mud flats and now they will come directly into the north sea. your 1st impression. beautiful. cold, the so yeah. so here's a bit deeper, present p 5. that's predicted the low tide, isn't really that low be allowed? no, we still have quite a bit of water to way through. the toilets doable to deliver in the mile by floating is partly expedition, 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

flora and fauna. when he's proved, assessed so suddenly felt ill almost 25 years ago. and the mud flaps mailman position opened up. he didn't hesitate to step in your font color. 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 places and arrive at the honest, there's no fanfare, just a typical mode in german. welcome. hello. and all you want to think about are exhausted, thoughts loved to take part finals, or if it was a really good height, a unique experience crossing the model allows us to get to an island. i mean this case and i that is what i don't understand why it's a bit tiring, but otherwise lovely. 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 to know how to conceive this includes the company is like family to us, of all the there's no question i love when something's happening, when the children, how about a face close? is that too close to him? a full sized christmas does a hollow dice and all of them speak if i 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 pseudo road decades ago when he went to receive young construction with coastal protection syndrome are involved. i worked on the week silver summers for you. i just have a connection with the silent slip through a brisk south west. the wind has 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 slides. how many kilometers have

you done? 5 on the way around the globe. certainly 25000. so i want to do it for 10 more years. now i'm 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 aged 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. we was at the highest schools and asked them to see if this measure has improve the students concentration and social interactions to this. my file is getting locked away from ohio. it's,

i am this 12 great german cost to buy too much pesos is a phone freeze for the school dice dogs. the students must leave the cell phones in the list or at home. they use this phones during lessons for you and, and student before phones would sometimes ring during class as much my husband and i thought that was kind of uncomfortable and of uh on the side of loot frontage. zeta asked me, 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 all the phone van. energies. anyone quote, with a cell phone must surrender it. they wouldn't get it back until 5 pm, which is a real drag or they use when cost is finished. charlie, not only for mine hasn't been confiscated. yes, 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 you need the, the website for with life. so the problem has been in place the yeah. so what's the

students that have you as a job says there are fewer disruptions raise your hand. that's 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 slide assistance. and so you want to extend the class, see it's much quieter and class and are fewer argument a mobile is when it comes to the problem. let's just talk to everyone. good luck. there's up. so you can check out the door and say put it away. will be with the fault, and then there's resistance unexcused to the actual stage misplaced 8 minutes of less than time of the class. i'm so dumb sickness. canada young was one of the fast schools in the netherlands to complete the prohibits cell phones and cos following adults. government initiatives. well, not the legal requirement for schools. it's strongly recommended. studies done in spain and britain shows cell phones alms, kind of improve concentration during lessons. that's especially true for the week of students sets you up from the to,

to help develop guidelines for the find on the field. the mobile cell phone apps like tick, tock and snap chatter, or may to capture users attention. because in this industry, it's all about attention to the 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 attention and keep it. so it's a losing battle cleared out. but it's not just about destructions. the social aspect students are supposed to play in charleston past 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 august. 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 room size move files so confiscated the phone

in the 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 cutting now, skype for the kids whose phones have been confiscated. so it will be on the often in all the others can reclaim that devices as soon as tech nonsense, a done to whatever beeping sound your cellphone makes. it's a trifle for these parents to imitate their highly intelligent birds that can learn to closely mimic sounds. songs as 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 attracted not only by the diversity of species, but also by the range of communication skills. some birds have picked up some rather unusual chivalry stuff even had to install

a disclaimer. notice wanting the visitors about the birth colorful language. i say, yeah, this totally jingle, you know, welcome you to give them for thinking these colorful creatures of the stalls that this wildlife century on england's east coast box new little further. and you'll find the real, the ip area though these parents can squawk some of the sold to swell was this side of the 7 seas persecution visitors and stuff like that. as i'm walking past, i might see it a power thing. oh you be anything that's not really have because i don't really want that. i don't want to just tell you to f off. but then when you walk past and from that you'll never see with or something like that you think? oh my lord, that is a bit so much. that's where you shot these charts to international. stalled him

with fans looking to hit england's famous foul mouth, but on the side. somebody made so you know, for sure. let me see if and when the main router has probably just said prior to the hold. oh yeah, you feel so. thankfully, the stuff that just isn't detained is the visitors. never tell them, don't tell you because we want to that the public, the come up on the part, the whole thing to you and then i told them to go somewhere. here's the last thing you get calls, which is this is where, you know, lame lies with 5 particularly profane parents, century c o. steve took them in from private homes during the cove it pandemic. to his surprise, o 5 could sway concerns. they'd roughly a few feathers. steve hatch the plan to integrate with them to

a bigger group of power. i've lost power, say, learn all the common noises, like vehicles with the kernel, microwave, so or you can see a lot telephone major. and the general idea was a phase roll powers to add more of those coming noises, it stopped using this. why was it didn't really work? there was one or 2 of them that pick, pick this language, these highly intelligent and for can greys or quick lane. it's and with another sounds now picking up steam. steve has a new problem on his have people take some fox and motors and they do it the most inopportune times when i can hear them. and they'll do everything from a very short and i'll use to read along those any that stalls. probably any thoughts off any cell from walks away if they have no, not the worst. so between swelling and crossing. i. so i don't know if it's a good place to bring it to steve's release the parents across the century. as to

p d, they get to pick up the profanities that they do here. then multi neighbors are very funny. sounds like they could have a few more misbehaving, paris on their hand, so we hope nobody is swearing at you. thanks for watching and we hope you enjoyed the show. so your next week, the, the, the

indian professionals rate germany highly for i like, uh, term and technology. the best thing is, uh, 3 the society is set up. i mean, the healthcare system that you've been just on the work life balance. and like the germans, they also dislike off. definitely the adults on the bureau guessing it's it's the weather channel, 50 super slow made in germany next on dw protocol right now and to the conflict. we

wanted to highlight the negative component of survival in the next conflict for data with china. fortunately, how do you expect to take on caliber conflict in 16 minutes on dw, the how many platforms can you handle single attain usually without having the feeling that it's just too much you might see me. how much can we do simultaneously? multitasking diesel, modern. because if we do too much,

we paid it all wrong. we messed things up risky brain damage. so let's stop this self sabotage, humans and multitasking watch. now on youtube, v w documentary, do you suffer from a heavy what loads? maybe you don't have enough coworkers from house cat to i t and education, their labor shortages everywhere, which is why more and more companies are hiring workers from a broad gym and he wants to make it easy for workers to emigrate from countries like india today is already beth field at home, and how are they ferrying with the new language and culture the most that 1 may today, which sent to in germany is suffering the most from a shortage of skilled workers. how robots are replacing human labor in fact trees

and how long must.
