our journey continues in northern europe. from in ari in finland, we will head to the forests just across the border from won't oh. and then on to ag youdie in swedish lapland, our journey will end in norway in count. okay, know ah, at 1st glance sweden looks like one big forest. no other european country has so many trees. they cover close to 3 quarters of its land mass. but the gaps become more visible, the further north you go. in many places, it looks more like a lunar landscape, such as here close to warn you on the border between sweden and finland, nearly 200 kilometers above the arctic circle. environmental activist, kara lina, cows on blame, swedish timber companies, greenpeace put signs up that read, do not cut. and then on, wanna get info. so see, and when you drive around here, you see one clear cut area after another school go and ask for what they've replanted. their ad, it bears no comparison bad of mafia about him on all the trees are the same age and are planted in long rows. this is a very aggressive type of

after all, there is enough timber elsewhere in northern europe. the liken, hanging on the branches, serves a special function. what's felled here? takes a very long time to grow back. matthew si. gold proved it is a bit for 500 years old. 30 black like another trees. what? raid the again, eat in the winder. it's not the only bit 3 because there's when they, when the are a lot of snow on the trees. as you see the slack flies and also on the land. and it's coming up of the snow and rain. you can eat this if there's a lot of snow and a small is hard. without this forest, the reindeer would struggle to get through the winter. luckily, the herders have received international help. korean base come here and her boss and they thought the biggest company hope by the finish paper and the sammy b brown. sam arranged to her to have a problem. this forest cutting because it's out for us is so important in finland. authorities were ignoring petrie mottos and his fellow herders. then greenpeace raised the possibility of a boycott. that was back in 2003. a large

a lot of the equivalent to sort of peers in northern europe, especially now it's hard to say exactly why that is. but one of the things is that women, because of preexisting inequalities, tend to be in the lesser paid roles. and so it's a self reinforcing issue that women with 10 then to take a little bit more leave of c as more there's also because of the fact pregnancy they will tend to take a little bit longer than maybe health issues during pregnancy and things like that . and they may miss out on opportunities during that period. it also tends to occur . the german women often will get pregnant and their thirties. and that's obviously a critical time and career development. so there are these issues that need to be address and again, policies have to come in to further level, the playing field for women to take into account these issues and other issue very briefly within germany is that it's a lot of its economic edge comes in industrial sectors and there's still is not a recommendation to women in those areas. ok, arthur sullivan? thank you so much. now, how would you like you

today, the rights of the indigenous inhabitants of northern europe are protected by local laws and each of the four countries they even have their own parliament. on the shore of lake inari there is a village of the same name, a small village, but it is considered a major center of sam culture and at the same time a resting place for many finns, which is interesting, the locals themselves are somewhat different from all the rest of lapland , who have always been reindeer herders, local also became fishermen. this is a picturesque place. it is not at all like the usual settlement of houses, here they do not cling to each other, but are scattered over the forest and shores. the lake is where the samsky parliament works. finland finished. with wood, its façade has the shape of a semicircle and as if invites guests to visit itself in this complex, in addition to the parliamentary premises, an information center and an archive in the center of language training and the preservation of the service of samo are provided. me cozy restaurant and community administration, inori. now here you can s

the cooling of the surface layer of the atmosphere, however, western flows will carry air from northern europethe plain, so severe frosts are unlikely, for example, by wednesday the minimum temperature in the middle lane will drop to -8 °, which is fully consistent with the level of the climatic norm and only in the volga region and in the south of the urals, the air can cool down to -20, but during the day, thanks to the predominantly sunny weather, the air will be able to warm up well. for example, in moscow on the weekend the thermometers will show zero minus two, and in the first half of the new week the temperature will be -3 -4 maximum, which is more than one and a half degrees higher than the long-term values. . greetings to svidomo propaganda, even long-range glsdb shells, about which there has been a lot of talk in recent days, washington has changed its mind about sharing with kiev. what is the reason? my colleague will tell you more about this. yevgeny tishkovets yevgeny, it seems to the west, again they failed to act as a united front against russia, this is the americans muddying

this is also a very good opportunity , because such states as the baltic states and northern europe areeffect in general on western policy and of course on our relations with which countries is the united states canada because, uh, the north of the trail this is where we are in principle predezhym, we were like that, well, more opinion, well, the best friends for uh, for uh, the united states in europe, where are the american the interests of europe are even though ours is ours. let’s say that our state is very big, that is, there are opportunities if i don’t spoil them myself. it will be very much. that very many people who in principle did not understand where they were, if you say so politely, well, they opened their eyes, it turned out that the rocket fire is when a more obvious political argument than all the things of the declaration, the explanation appears unfortunately unfortunately, i would certainly like people to understand otherwise but as it turned out, unfortunately, the actions of russia are so terrible, we will allow many people to understand where they are and what the

the country of central and northern europe the main negative weather factor was the wind, denmark and germany are raging real storm wind speed on the coast in places. today reached 28 m/s. a squall overturned multi-ton containers, tore off roofs and broke trees, people had to grab onto traffic lights on the streets so that they would not be carried away. windy weather will continue and tomorrow the geography of gusts will expand to the east almost to the urals. more wind will be recorded in the east of the leningrad region, south of karelia and in most of the arkhangelsk region over 20 m/s. on the coast of the nenets autonomous okrug, it is moving deep into the european plain and the precipitation zone will cover a vast territory from the crimea in the south to the ural ranges in the north, but their intensity is mainly moderate, heavy snowfalls in places. they will pass only in the north of the russian plain near the center of the cyclone, which will circle over the white sea. in crimea, the weather is unstable precipitation, albeit small, but snow and rain will continue all week lon

help relations between what, what is essentially now a mixed culture in scandinavia and parts of northern europe. no, i think that for me that is totally irresponsible as well to do stuff like that. if you look at problems, you always have to see rather result. and for example, when you look at the migration policies, if you have a migrant in your country, you have to give them the possibility to work. and from beginning on, for example, in germany and in the navy, in the countries of similar, some of migrants live 5 or 10 years in the country. and they don't have a permission to work. but if you talk to the migrants, everyone wants to work. so there is a disco pants in between, then throwing the blame on the migrant that there's problems if you don't make the circumstances so that they can have a proper life and take their responsibility for the society they live. and so the, the idea to burn a koran to ent, on any problem or to this is indispensable because it's not dialogue. it's the same . like if you want peace in the world, you have to have dialogue in between the countries. if you want to

i think the turkey is using its power to reinforce the geopolitical infrastructure in the northern europe. very effectively if, if, if victory up within a so called possibility for finland to join nato with dog sweden. and of course, that he's broken all the principals and promises what is given from helsinki to. so what we have to look now is that, that of all these promises from fast growing to nato and everything is totally based on a prefix false pretext that russia isa dread against freeland, not really, as we know, that has, haven't never up. it happened in 30 years of the time with the, the, the neighbor agreement with russia. russia is another trick. it was just created such ah, now the chinese foreign minister has called for ties between his nation on middle east countries to be strengthened. he said the creation of a free trade zone with the 6 states of the gulf cooperation council should be done quote, as soon as possible in a call with his saudi counterpart, chin gun announced the plans while underlining the necessity to further develop ties and infrastructure investment and h

are affected by the influence of the frontal section, which unites the cyclone in southern and northern europe , the turkish cyclone will manifest itself in the russian south, the processes are different, and cloudy sarai weather with precipitation. tomorrow will be almost the entire european territory of russia except for. lower volga, the total amount of precipitation will be small only in the south of the chernozem region and in about 5 mm per day will fall in the rostov region and i will add that in the circulation of a new cyclone to russia, warm , golf stream, air and the entire south and west of the russian plain up to the line, st. weeks the situation in the atmosphere will change little and only by the weekend the next arctic invasion will displace the anomalous heat by 1,000 km. to the south, below its volga and don. well , now more about kaliningrad there today plus five cloudy in the evening will begin to intensify wind at night with gusts of up to 13 m/s, the minimum temperature will be about plus one degree. tomorrow afternoon plus, four rain, wind gusts up to 15 m/s. not nastya

however, western flows will carry air from northern europe to the plain, so severe frosts are unlikelyfor example, by wednesday the minimum temperature in the middle lane will drop to -8 °, 13, which is fully consistent with the level of the climatic norm and only in the trans-volga region and in the south of the urals, the air can cool down to -20, but during the day, due to predominantly sunny weather, the air can warm up well. for example, in moscow on the weekend the thermometers will show 0 -2, and in the first half of the new week, the temperature will reach a maximum of -3 -4, which is more than one and a half degrees higher than long-term values ​​​​to other topics. failed rammstein, no samples or appards will go to ukraine as a greeting, i think even propaganda with long-range glsdb shells, about which there was a lot of talk. the last days in washington to share with kiev changed his mind. what is the reason? my colleague evgeny tishkovets will tell you more about this. evgeny seems to the west, again failed to present a united front against russia, the americans are muddying

and the position sits just like that with the active windy weather, just through northern europe. and the press is getting cold. we got some snow, so these spanish pair, knees really are quite deep and it stopped snowing now. there still warnings of low temperatures wrapped portico. the good part of spain and this blue is outbreaks of sherry, rain all the way through the mediterranean, towards north africa in the east where i say we could go, we were registering temperatures near record. high 18. 20 degrees is fast growing. so feel, sir fear in bulgaria, a case in point for the next incoming significance, there will be that western windy stuff you saw blowing through. well, monday, sees it blow through, over the cold air, over the co ground. therefore, snow of some significance from austria all the way through barrison towards western russia and cutting back into scandinavia. that's what winter supposed to look like in north africa, still more snow. move the atlas mountains, the higher ground all way through algeria to nicea main. rain and wind probably libya and the shower around

yes, these are several trade unions of journalists from the countries of northern europe and finlandark uh, joined them. uh, of course, ukrainians and scandinavians, but there are really few of them. although their joint contribution. uh, the annual in the piggy bank of the international federation, it exceeds that fee that we pay every year. we are so that the leadership of the leadership of the international federation of journalists. now, of course, it will be a very difficult choice. but i hope they make the right choice, because according to the charter it is still impossible to expel russia's own journalists. and here, probably, as it should be in the united nations. how should there be some kind of consensus, on any issue, or is it possible to introduce the same veto there and stop some process that, well, can damage the international organization. yes, this process is very fast and even a process. with exits or expulsions or freezing of membership, there is such an international federation, but it does not happen in one day with a snap of the fingers. this is considered at a

are affected by the influence of the frontal section, which unites the cyclone in southern and northern europe turkish cyclone will manifest itself in the russian south, the processes are different, and cloudy weather is caused by precipitation. tomorrow will be almost all over the european territory of russia except for. lower volga, the total amount of precipitation will be small only in the south of the chernozem region and in the rostov region about 5 mm will fall per day and i will add that in the circulation of a new cyclone in russia is drawn by the warm, golf stream, the air and the entire south and west of the russian plain up to the line , st. anomalous heat per 1,000 km. to the south below in the volga and the don, but now more about kaliningrad there today plus five cloudy in the evening the wind will begin to increase at night with gusts up to 13 m / s, the minimum temperature will be about plus one degree. tomorrow afternoon plus, four rain, wind gusts up to 15 m/s. bad weather will come to the peak but from the second of february. the weather will start to improve, the wind will

also settling down in finland, sweden, the west wants to completely subdue both the once-neutral northern europe and the once-neutral international organizations, the council of europe has already taken this path and there are many problems. accumulates in obse. for us, this is one of the main issues on the agenda, along with the cooperation of an international organization, where it is important for us to prevent. uh privatization secretaries. this is also what the west is trying to do now to guarantee the absolute security of the western borders, the joint grouping of russian troops in belarus today in the sky, and with the two countries during the ice on tactical exercises are running the allied air defense aviation, and the creation of a single defense space of the president of russia of belarus was announced at the end of last year. a joint board of foreign ministers was even planned, postponed due to the sudden death of the former minister of foreign affairs of belarus vladimir maky, in memory of him, the meetings today began with a minute of silence on the agenda of counteracting the host

also a very good opportunity for us, because such countries as the baltic states, as well as northern europehich we are good friends, are also there. finland, denmark, sweden, norway, iceland and poland, i think we will be very close to you . alliance and we will be able to uh much more. i hope they will influence western politics in general and of course our relations with which countries like the united states canada because uh uh for uh of the united states in europe, where are the american interests of europe, even though ours is ours , let’s say that our states are very big, that is, there are opportunities if i don’t spoil them myself, there will be a lot of opportunities. a month because so many people who in principle did not understand where they were, to put it politely , but their eyes were opened, it turned out that rocket fire is a more obvious political argument than anything else declaration explanation appears unfortunately unfortunately i would certainly like people to be wiser otherwise but as it turned out uh unfortunately russia's actions are so terrible we will allow man

be hard to what route tony cheng al to 0 thank or warm weather echoed to being broken across northern europe with 8 nations recording the highest ever january temperatures. the high in belarus was 4 and a half degrees celsius. higher than the previous record for the south in spain. temperatures are equivalent to the average in july, some regions more than 10 degrees celsius higher than normal. here it's warm weather comes as north america faces severe storms. scientists blame climate change for the extreme weather. we unseasonably, warm weather temperatures have having a major impact on the winter holiday industry. the sorry, ever ski resort in bosnia home of the 1984 winter olympics is almost completely without snow on what's normally one of the busiest weeks of the year on a neighboring croatia where the more suited to the summer months. in this resort outside the capital zagreb is having to rely on artificial snow. all sorts of end is lead or thrown in our nation's intergovernmental panel on climate change. he says higher winter temperatures will continue in the future. there is a relatio

hugely volatile prices have fallen in recent weeks as temperatures in northern europe have been highert they are still three times over the average meaning there will be rises. businesses like this barber group have seen the price of food, beer and wages pushed up. it has hit their confidence and that of their customers. it confidence and that of their custome— confidence and that of their customers. it is not 'ust the ener: customers. it is not 'ust the energy increases h customers. it is notjust the energy increases for - customers. it is not just the i energy increases for ourselves but to our consumers as well. if we do not have a confident consumer, that obviously ways on our confidence to go and expand the business. —— ways. the cost will rise just as customers see disposable income fall. challenging mix for 2023. joining me now is fiona cincotta, market analyst at city index. good to see you as ever. take us through these changes and which sectors will be affected? if we take that what the government calculations are suggesting, a pub, for example could see its energy bills rise

usually windy weather, so that's point one, windy weather, the you cave at most countries in northern europe. not especially huge amounts of rain yet, but there are flood warnings on the ground in the u. k. so any more rating that will be causing a flood of at the temperatures, they are single figures, sometimes double figures. they're still quite high. this time, year not been reflected in the lack of snow throughout, well, the swiss alps, french out the after houses or austrian mountains weather is still at the top. but unfortunately too often just get a strip of created man, created snow down to the ground. well, do you get any more snow in the next 24 hours? this is coming in. is rain, not that promise he'd have to say. so probably not a huge amount. no, that will cause some flooding in france. quite possibly in denmark and some parts of norway and sweden, cos briefly, and the u. k as well. it's rather quality down in turkey and greece, but you have got significant range has just off the south coast of italy and the wind still blowing through libya and egypt. otherwise, north africa is q

skye, a plain, air from northern europe, therefore, severe frosts are unlikely, for example, by wednesdayature in the middle lane will drop to -8 °, which is quite corresponds to the level of the climatic norm and only in the trans-volga region and in the south of the urals the air can cool down to -20, but during the day, thanks to the predominantly sunny weather, the air can warm up well. for example, in moscow on the weekend the thermometers will show 0 -2, and in the first half of the new week, the temperature will reach a maximum of -3 -4, which is more than one and a half degrees higher than long-term values ​​​​to other topics. the failed rammstein will not go to ukraine for any samples or apards, greeted by propaganda even with long-range gl shells sdb, about which there are a lot of talk. in recent days, washington has changed its mind about sharing with kiev. what is the reason? my colleague yevgeny tishkovets yevgeny seems to the west, again they failed to form a united front against russia, this is the americans muddying the waters in one, the americans outwitted themselves, t

possibility that this could affect supplies to people, given that we are in the middle of winter in northern europeuld potentially be effective is this gas pipeline is damage for a certain amount of time? at the moment, we are working that our clients will not be affected by this explosion, because we have pipelines. also, we have several inlet points towards lithuania, so we might use gas from different terminals. the manchester city footballer — benjamin mendy — has been found not guilty of six counts of rape and one count of sexual assault, after a six month trial at chester crown court. jurors failed to reach verdicts on two other charges, meaning he will now face a re—trial later this year. another man was also found not guilty of three counts of rape relating to two teenagers. 0ur north of england correspondent, danny savage, reports. he was the millionaire footballer who had the world at his feet. but what now for benjamin mendy? cleared of the majority of charges against him, but facing a retrial on two others a jury couldn't decide upon. so, come to the darkness. mendy lived here, a mansio

i think the jerky is using its power. dreams was the geopolitical infrastructure in the northern europe very effectively if, if, if victory, appleton a. so good possibility for finland to join me though with doll sweden and of course, that is broken all the principals and promises what is given from helsinki to soften. what we have to look now is that, that of all these promises from fast growing to nato and everything. it is totally based on a brief hold. briefly, the bratia isa drake, against freeman. not really. as we know, that has, haven't never up. it happened in 30 years of the time with the, the, the neighbor agreement with russia. russia is not a trick. it was just created such ah, hong kong or is not living in britain, have called on the u. k. home secretary to did shake controversial new anti protests bill saying similar measures where the reason they left their homeland in the 1st place. many of us are all represent and work with hong kong years who have recently arrived in, in united kingdom and helps of a better life for ourselves and our loved ones, where we can exercise
