the mapped out shows the geo political reality. the on the board is what makes things the way they are mapped out, navigating a changing world now on youtube. the hello and welcome to focus on your up by name is conner doing thanks for being with us today. nearly 3 years, that's how long russia has been waging its war of aggression on ukraine. we've talked a lot on this show about the ukrainians whose lives have been lost as a result of that war. but what's talked about less are the ukrainians who were never born in the 1st place, or children who been born into circumstances, far more difficult than they deserved. orphanages in ukraine had been struggling to

find adoptive parents for the children born during the war. children whose parents died or were over whelmed by the calamity around them, and could not care for their kids in the way that they'd hoped. now there is reason to hope the number of ukrainian couples like katya and loading mirror applying to adopt has doubled. and this couple are eagerly awaiting the decision is growing up on the ground for these young one, the basement shadow of federal financial in new clean supposed solid region is the 2nd home bush as to here when russian attacks set all the areas around those you do there are children, up to 2 years old. he or children from 3 to 6 years old. the youngest are only a few months old. most of these children were taken in by social services, separated from families struggling with addiction or with financial problems caused

by the war be sleep here. so bad nights on disrupted by adding. but that is often are you sure if there is no error that every opportunity is used to keep the children outside anytime and not sleeping north, eating their outside. but just giving at least one of these children a better life is what is driving up in florida. muse decision to adopt. let's see, this liberal here is also interesting. even looks a little bit like, you know, temperature. cl yes, i'd like one with one test. cool. the copy is bought off a growing trend. the number of ukrainians, signing up to adopt has doubled since the start of the war. you're also going for the boston, the yes i am the copier and without him, you don't have an age or gender in mind. they just want

a little sibling for that 11 year old daughter. so now sure you look at his cheeks, he looks and not like as sonya, but she was also chubby like that. the government have wanted to adopt for a long time. but the plans, what do you read? the hometown which i was occupied, it became known for russian atrocities at the start of the or so some of the set inside of the of this is the church where civilians were buried in one grave in a musgrave. but i see what i came up with. those who were shot and killed by russians failing a level in your system. what so now they've learned to always be prepared. 3 wars and it says i got to a suitcase here. we have one under the bed. that's another big one. we know we always have gasoline in the car and i'm ashamed of thief golf. but they want to do more than live in feel. they want to love and support another child to this difficult time. but you have

a lot. i see my daughter when the explosions start and she gets good. yeah. she can only sleep in the nap of someone comforting the whole like come on more down. yeah, we are all with no, they need a feeling of safety protection protection apparent skills. but unfortunately, the children and the often inch don't have that together with them or the copy of this cop envelope to meet attending a mandatory week long adoption training. trina, honest, our staff would discuss lines that this growing interest and adoption is an emotional reaction to the invasion. people want to adopt children often by the war us, but those kids are often adopted by other family members. those are new for sure because when they realize that there are no children like the ones they fun to sized about and well yeah. then i don't think if i'm on that decision over dollars

or 3 or would ation, you know, for me it's a positive result. when a family adults a child are putting a little but it's also a good result. when adults find the strength to tell themselves you were not ready for you is because up if someone would finish and we'll talk it, it's a challenge to take care of young children during award. that could be often it's gauge, it goes, try to make the edits a game of hide and seek toys, cartoons dancing, anything to take the children's minds off where they are in a trill of excitement, wendy added, and it's a slow process. guiding toddlers and getting infants back out. but it's a daily routine for these demons. it's a relief to be back up stairs. we believe when the average is over, we shout. yes, we go running to the playground. back in butcher top 10 below to meet

a more than ready for this responsibility already be have a plan for where the child will sleep. so enough of the case is the children his room. sonya is bedroom. so boy, if it's a boy and he's older, we will probably give him this room. you won't get the, the talking, not scott, that talks about the future. no, she's interrupted by a message on her phone. the decision on whether they can adopt is waiting for them at the post office. everything hinges on this. they only tell their daughter about the whole plan if the decision is positive. on the main transfer. yeah, just love quotes people thought is to better light. it's a yeah, one of the process can take months. we bought it could be life changing for one of these children. if they find

a home and families with a couple like katya and brought to me and that is what these children are waiting for. even as the a, the go on a safe and comfortable life is something i think most of us aspire to lead. and there are few countries as safe as switzerland. that changes very quickly though, if you venture up into the outs like to switzerland, god had my c a mountain range with peaks over 3000 meters or 10000 feet. they are tucked away under the melting stone rock are enormous crystals, with thousands of yours. and thomas steinberger, a world class climber, is determined to find them mixing good business with a high dose of adrenalin. this quartz crystal waste several kilos, and it's worth thousands of heroes. men and women risk their lives to hunt for

these sparkly wonders. among them is thomas steinberg. on a former world champion ice climber. he and his brothers philip hunt for crystals and the god must save mountain range. a helicopter keeps them supplied with provisions and equipment at an altitude of over 3000 meters, thomas and his brothers set up their base camp for crystal hunting. the good preparation is everything in this risky business and all of them all buttons. and when we're working up here all week, we need a flat spot or a level plateau to sleep on and off. they both loved the rugged life high up in the mountains and the feeling of vastness and freedom. it gives them far from the rest of the world to deal with. if it depends on the weather, if it's good, we stay up here for up to 14 days old climate change is causing the swift

glaciers to melt rapidly for crystal hunters. each both occurs and a blessing. the melting ice revealed new rock crevices with quartz crystals, but the risk of falling is heightened because on all the equipment will come down in the next few days, we need to secure the blocks so it won't slip if someone is working there. it's extremely dangerous example, disability. safety is the top priority. almost every year, a crystal hunter has an accident and this was helps the melted ice makes it easier to reach the crystal. now, patients and a delicate touch are necessary. we can see right through it crystal clear snow. a short time later this time, hook up, brothers make a sensational find on it's called a given to a twisted quartz crystal rentals are very rare and catch up to 10000 heroes.

this is the best find of the entire season. it's an extremely exceptional piece. it's 6 in the morning just above freezing, but the sun is shining. just right for the brothers to embark on a long planned expedition. they aimed to clear out an unknown grotto. they discovered in high resolution photos only after a thoroughly scouting decides, do they climbed down? the weather has to be just right. rain makes the terrain slippery. things can get serious with sudden thunderstorms or fox. i'm heading down now. yep. okay. in switzerland, technical age and blasting. are prohibited when hunting crystals, everything here is done by hand. the steinberger brothers go where no one has been before, but the work is becoming more dangerous. climate change is causing the permafrost

and the ops to saw, leading to rock and ice slides. today they're unlock another special find a smoky courts or almost black crystal highly coveted in the gemstone market. the after 14 days, they finally returned home to thomas's workshop. nowadays, he sells his crystals, mostly through instagram. as the market has changed significantly. and no matter how long it been up there or how tired i am, the 1st thing i do is head to the cleaning room. i bring the good stones here and immediately start processing them before i even shower this way. they're ready for sale within half a day. so the cost that i'd seen many of his friends have had accidents in the mountains, and thomas himself has survived serious falls. but quitting is not an option for

him. the lowest of a baby steps to use as the biggest challenge is the mental part and having to endure for the long haul today in the most of you also have to be prepared for it all to end quickly. but that's my life is. i've lived in extremely intensely and to the fullest. wonderful, i'm not afraid of death. you help counsel and too much time blow god except such a risk. because for him, the fruits of his labors are worth it. i want you to imagine a classic orchestra. so a bunch of people playing violins are tellos, trumpets, french horns, whatever, a standard orchestra. now imagine the people who are playing, what do they look like? they're probably dressed formally and dresses are tuxedos or see what's right. but what do they look like, or to be more specific? what color is their skin? that question or more precisely,

the answer to it has bothered musician teach. you will know who for decades for solution is a new orchestra for people of color, playing with a different kind of attitude and inspiring a new generation. i was in the industry for 35 years and i was always the only person of color in the orchestra's and i was aware of it, but i never had a space to talk about it. the another massive problem is that while they are trying to get you read expression, and a part of that for me was like really speaking to ways to my head should look which i found and kind of the inappropriate i think that conservatories are also seeing perhaps the decades entries as mrs. deb call them are now trying to correct

the 9 years ago teaching or no co founded, an orchestra for people of color in london, the 25th, the on the stage play or african american composer, florence price, or vivaldi recompense. the henri is it was the 1st time that all of us or the full we have to think about was the me. and we will share that feeling where we've always felt pulled up trying to see that feeling was gone because everybody belonged i think in

a perfect world, organizations like agenda k or springs wouldn't have to exist because classical music would reflect our society as it is, which is incredibly diverse and people from all sort of sections of humanity. yeah, i think you're right about that. i also work in the education side with jenna k. so going into schools, you know, essentially getting instruments into young people's hands and then working further with those that already know how to play some instruments with a junior orchestra, which is incredibly busy. and even those children who don't become classical musicians, but the people that are going to make up our audiences to that gives a claim, follow them to the slides because time music festival where they performed deluxe, which does recon post 4 seasons to necka is truly one success after another the how do we encourage and empower women to of color, you know,

people outside the normal historic cells. and so how do we get them to feel so great in the non mission and so that they can then when those jobs, when those positions and excel in those positions the, it's like many of you watching this right now, i might choose to spend some of my final days on earth in a place like this one and assisted living facility for the elderly. these places are meant to ensure that older people live their final days with dignity and with the kind of care they can no longer provide for themselves. but what if like, in pest, quite sustain an entire village was centered around such a facility, ensuring access to the good life you had before, like, harmony, i hear doing what you love and with the people you love. it might all sound like wishful thinking, but it's not. it's real close. it is

a special village with barrier free sidewalks and a lot of other barrier free design. the village in the south west of spain even has a home for seniors or many lives in the senior center, while older people from other villages are often forced to move to live with their children are in homes for seniors in the city. she's able to stay. yes, i mean, well, i'm staying in my village. i still got lots to do here because because i left the 85 year old still tends to or olive trees every day. it will be one that i live in the center. but like you're out whenever i want in the morning, they make me breakfast. and then i come here in may, right? yeah. okay. i wanted to prove this brought me to the region. the

sparsely populated. disclosure has just 150 residence. and yet the town has kept itself alive. thanks. and part of the senior center time for exercise h seniors like, i mean you live at the facility. 6 more. come here for care. the daytime. constantino's 97. the villages oldest resident also has a room here, or 2 children, no longer live in disclosure, but you didn't want to leave till more with the now now the way roll neighbors. so relatives, 3 magazines, somebody over there on my cousins you thursday night. see them being this has a neighbor. yeah, i mean, yes, i mean you to be for to do that. she used to live across from me. i gets along well with everyone. i'm happy. the residents to side under daily schedules themselves. nothing is set in stone. what matter is that the people not

a routine the the h friendly village of the senior center or run by a local association for care person christy. the initiative is the key to keeping the town a line hang on the augusta time of month. unusual way, keeping the population here. see if elderly people can stay at home after the economy stays to get everything to do with providing for them. how fast progress either as long as there are residents here with cdw in this one. okay, so able to see how y'all be done. there's a bit of a whole there's even still a small supermarkets in the heart of the village. one and other places stores are closing down on the dana sounds. groceries, household items, anything the residents need, you are business benefits from the senior center residents, employees, and the visitors taking project. i don't, it makes a difference. of course i can all the people who don't move away to go to the center,

they all show up with my stool and i've been in come on sounds. on the other hand, see what i thought was important for them to say is we benefit from each other. so i maybe i'll highlight, but i love how is this sunday also? shops here 10 years ago as the village mer, to help to launch the project. no, definitely not. yeah. it worked here because everyone that pitched in that kind of thing. i think i know for setting up a project like this and a village with 150 residents here. so it doesn't make financial sense. no company would take it on it works because so many people volunteer and patio but the center also need subsidies or they might soon disappear. the village hopes the center of will survive. find out is down yet. we still don't know what will happen in 2020 find anybody that knows how it came up. i thought with only the residents contributions and public key funded housing spots, nato. the apple. we couldn't keep passive as is running that the idea of id i'm of

the family feels their media. the of the farmer is optimistic that the center will somehow be able to keep going. she's glad she's secured a spot for herself and time. yeah. can that i probably, if i ever, urgently need to cancel it, that might not be one round good thing. now i'm still doing fine. my very this way . i have a room. i share it with another resident. then we're going to, i'm not alone. if the company like armenia over half of the residents here over 60 and the number of arise. but the village is determined to make it work. it's winter here in europe, which means the sunsets early and the nights are dark and long. there's nothing more cozy or more welcoming though, than the soft glow of warm light, like from gas lamps. they were common in europe for 200 years,

but now it's extremely rare to see one of them being let, let alone 250 of them, like incarnations, capitals, i'll grab, but that is exactly what a man named tommy's love. drc is doing every evening. he fills the alleyways of the old town by hand with a touch of romance. as night falls over the old city of san grab, the st lanterns beginning, giving off their warm glow. a european tradition, thomas loveday, ark, and his uniform are distinctive to the lantern. still use gas is thomas loves job to light them every evening. lantern lighter still exists only and rolls, 5 poland in here and the pro ration capital is on grab as they have for 161 years. so to the problem of we lights $249.00 gas lanterns every evening. we will put them out to every morning to the following to fit the length of the days. and so it said

that not a single night has passed and sawgrass without the gas lanterns being lit. you have most have already been replaced with the electric light, which is a brighter and cheaper replacement parts are hard to come by come on, but it was, it was hardly any companies make these lumps under parts anymore in nuclear wouldn't have keeping them maintained is very difficult for both those. so if there's a, there's a for example, there's only 2 companies worldwide still make these gas mantles, as i've read, wants to keep their last lanterns burning though, is that a little stick gave us light in war time and through rain. snow and storms are easy to light settles in the other parts of sawgrass history. it says that we're proud of them too, so we want to keep them. there's all the, the thomas love is proud of the mansions too, and he'd prefer not to believe rumors that the last of them will at some point be replaced to save money. i mean,

i missing the executive. if the volume of i fix that grab, should preserve its tradition of cost, lanterns and lantern lighters lighting allowance, the non polar realtors detraction here the old part of the city, the project collision, they're going to get out. they like watching those like the lanterns gushing. now, missing that we thought the last he explains that tourist, especially from asia, find the tradition, delightfully old world. oh, he's taking a group from taiwan on his tour. oh yeah. your to bernie. nobody at all. no, it's okay. it's okay. okay. it's something special for these visitors there's a lot of older patients and the gentleman said, well, very just a lot of special and it was that some of the to us do a lot easier. yeah. a few streets away. the gas lamps have already been replaced

with modern street lights, yet they're still hanging there. relics of a bygone era. but the suspect sales is what the gas loves or something special. because they have the history and the tradition of stock rep behind the beaches are going to be my dear. we did put the to flight for this. of course you could replace them with any diesel or something more modern next to the doc. some of them with a gas lamps have a so the cheapest way to do a target. so we have to keep the balance of i hope we have them for many more years . you're still going to and so thomas love and his colleague will continue the rounds, come rain or shine to of your ups last keepers of the light. that's it for focus on your up today on behalf of the team here. thanks for tuning in and until next time the

the

wheel machines to make our future fleet. for drake, new human always are disrupting the workplace. hey, i promises to boost our efficiency, but its failures are also mounting. all the while it's hunger for energy only continues to grow. where will a i take us and can we keep up, made into them and in 30 minutes on d, w. i love the system and i love the smell of a texture. there's only one thing i love about it and how can we

do without factory farming and avoid climate disaster will the meet. so the future be grown in a lab. the taste of future food, a fake stake in 75 minutes on d w. the mean filter for a station in the rain forest continue, carbon dioxide emissions have bruises. and again, the people of the world are we what impact the biggest change doesn't happen

the make up your own mind. me disruption is the goal. chaos is the goal. it's a wrecking crew radically. they want to bring the system down. stream royce come so the donald trump will be the next president of the united states. rather nice in some ways, the divisions, the american society division works for him. he wants to increase polarization. have to wait for trump's rise to power. these were the foot soldiers among the success for the rest of the world.
