the ultimately these terms end up becoming used as political tools to that inhibit global pace. thank you so much for the enter. your. thank you the a warm welcome to this week's focus on europe with me live show. thanks for joining us today. the russian strong man is holding on tightly to power, letting me a put in has been sworn in as president to serve another 6 year term. put in has ruled russia for 25 years now. the country has since moved away from democracy and the rule of law. there are no free elections in 2022 under pretends who russia invaded ukraine in an escalating move of the russia ukraine.

currently, it seems as if nothing can break pretends grip on power. since the mysterious death of his most prominence critic, i'll explain of all me in a russian jail, the opposition has been left without a strong leader. but recently of all these window, usually on the fall, my eye has vowed to step into her late husband shoes and to continue his legacy. many members of the russian opposition have fled the country. him 19 year old natalia in berlin is among those who have joined the fight against pretends autocratic rule, while in exile. natalia wants to make it clear that she's against the blood of me. pollution district is that she distributes around berlin, where she's living in exile, could land her in jail if she, if it goes back to russia. how does it feel to be a russian national traitor?

cushion has just been sworn in again as president. is ruled russia for almost 25 years, and it's becoming increasingly authoritarian. that's one of the reasons why natalia left and many of the russians we want space for us. you have on democracy for russia and we want, we just wants people to leave. and freedom is not be afraid of them to get them jail, natalia, and of the supporters of the late russian position liter. alexa, unknown the own admission in the now i think we have the responsibility to stop it before fusion wants to like blow up the whole world. the new grace, faith of many young russians is an invalid. these widow, julia novelle. now they started following her up to his unexplained this and assigned between present kemp the

with you you? yeah, thank you for continuing your husband's mission. he gave us hope now it's coming back with you. in berlin and in brussels. novelle now has been campaigning tirelessly for most sanctions to be imposed on russian politicians with loyal to pollution and and prophecy abroad. no problem, these opposition network has compiled a list of 7000 politicians to target. his widow wants to exhibit economic and political pressure from exile. what, what's the way? just raise very soon. deals with the gym and develop the team has launched an awareness raising campaign in exile. good evening. my name is

natalia, i'm from a russian cooling service. do you have some time for me to get screwed up because it is pronounced on? if it's correct? go ahead. thank you very much from natalia calls, people in russia. talk to them about the war in ukraine. it's victims. and because we're watching, if there was enough, but we are very carefully against the russian government, which i knew many of them might never have been confronted with a different opinion we. we wanted to make some things including looking at or was thursday because it's painstaking and demon knows this too many or afraid to tool. because anyone who criticizes the russian army in the war and ukraine risks going to jail for several. he is what city do you live in? chicago and my color is or just go through that was a young woman. i started talking to her, but then her husband came and said,

we're not interested. but before that, she said she was worried about and medical care and the special operations. and the most timing is kind of the head start off to, to and calls this lower progression ukraine. a special peroration a although he's no longer alive. the young people are inspired find patients, best known rival, alexi, nevada may maybe lose the way it's your store. one must not give up as the only thing necessary for the trying for people is for the good people to do nothing. so do not do nothing. and certainly they continue to act it would be great if there were no need to put up the stickers if there were no war and no present. if russia had taken the different paths a long time ago, the whole. but what happened cannot be undone. named

julia nevada. nadia is the new icon of the opposition. many hope that she will be able to unite those who are willing to fight for free russia, but they too will have to take action. ringback this year the w will honor union of all my uh with the freedom of speech award. living in a close to town, sounds like a dream for many, for example, and would stumble in britain. it would just wake up and go for a swim before having your 1st cup of tea buds. catherine chapman who lives there knows that the reality is far from it. village. she and fellow residents have to put up with sewage water that's polluting the coast dumping moods and slowing down businesses in the small fishing town. which triple appears to be in a delicacy site tire, just an hour and a half east of london. that's why the small beach out to your go for the equivalent

of about $70000.00 euros each or there's just one snag. it sometimes really smells here. whenever it rains heavily, the water company's dump ro effluent into the harbor, which then ends up in the sea. this is a huge problem for locals such as green west, who farms the times famous oysters. this incredible amount of the lakes has maybe told me vines, and indeed yourself may just stay on the fishermen of those work with me just now. when i'm looking to move he can no longer cell is always there's directly because they have to be clean for at least 72 hours. first, he uses an upstream filter to disinfect the sea water and flush the fecal residues from the oysters. it's a massive amount of work which means less

coming off these days, it's $5000.00 a week maximum so he won't survive in the long run he's. here's the situation is even worse on the beach. these little hats may appear rather innocent, but the show where the hidden pipes are that the privatized water companies used to dump excrement into the sea when the sewage system is overloaded. quite legally. aiden catherine are members of a local group that wants to change this. the inspect the pipes regularly, they say that what's your company's or what am i supposed to do this and exceptional cases? if it's been raining heavily, then we, we expect every stuff, but those licenses will, will create to them. they can expect to be able to, would need to release about 8 times a year, which i mean, that happens within

a couple of weeks here. even today, when the weather is fine, there is a smelly problem liquid dripping out of the pipe. there is a little way for the sewage concrete is $56.00 way to pay those folks that come along with them. but it's not high tide. when things get really messy, when sewage discharges will go unnoticed, but all over in good protest groups are coasting through 2 such as this from which to do something with the choice. occasionally the companies are fine, but they can deal with this. in 2023 alone. there were 400000 official discharges of sewage into rivers and coastal waters of england. and this is all happening on an island where many people swim whatever the weather . like this group of women, who since the pandemic have met regularly on the beach to maintain their physical

and mental well being. they say that cold water can help against anxiety and arthritis if i just take the risk, the risk is with the payoff. oh, yeah. well, i didn't put my mouse in it. i know i haven't got sick from his wife, indigo. so today the temperature is only 9 degrees celsius, the in the car. so we have the wilder warming of they talk about their feelings of powerlessness, but also about their sense of resilience as the water companies have said, it will take years to repair the pipes. so these women have find ways to adapt these

waters on clean and you get a cold light, doesn't just sit there for 20, for a bulk. they can sit and festering causal kinds of long time problems in the cup and it can keep the car in. so you have to think about everything my customer, my dose is getting married. i have to make sure i don't have a swim because i don't wanna get you. but there are some women in which the bills were not willing to accept the situation. for example, elaine, there's no refusing to pay for her water bill as far as long cents, i paid them, i'm old enough to pay more to those since privatization. they got the company's free debt free. we have paid for them to create our water and they have not done it . they have just jump in the c illegally. so it goes to pay much of a pack and i'm not going to so far. she is one of the few to take such a radical step, but she says she's had enough, especially as the bills are due to go up drastically. i have never been able to to

go to prison. no, i definitely don't want my belongings taken away. but it's worth it. we can make a difference. we all making a difference. it's not enough, but it's changing. and if we did it, you see what we would do. we would be the the circle of active resistors is still small. a local artist as a wreck to the concrete monument, to them on the beach. but once the anger sits in it sticks, and what these angry people want is for the water companies to be b nationwide. apps usually they type, i think deserve any compensation because they've already have they've already have only dividends that the amount that they're in debt from the enough time to move out to the amount of defense that they have been paid. i think were even implementing money from the most fundamental things about why should not be

different since the 19 ninety's private, walter operators of peter over 70000000000 euros to their shareholders. and now the country is literally sinking to the month. it will be decades before people can pay the game with a warranty. and even if the state were to take over the healing system, it would still be tax. peers would suit most of the bill, the if you're scared of heights, then some parts of our next report might make you feel a bit. i'm easy. we're traveling with the world steepest cable railway and it's taking us all the way up the ups to the swift village of stores. while torres get to enjoy a breathtaking view. the cable railway has also become a source of renewable energy, much to the delight of hotel manage my sudden noise house,

who was fascinated by this green cost saving power source. it's the steepest particular round way in the world, the stool spawn at some thoughts. the incline is as much as a 110 percent from sheets. it brings people up to the store. ski slopes at 1300 mates. it's because of the steep slope because have to break hard. this generates energy, which is now being put to good use. there is so much energy in fact, that it's enough to heat the new hotel next to the technical term for this kind of energy is recruit, perceive energy. engineer renee, cool, explains the principal, and the railways engine room. we think yeah, the gulf or we can see the entire drive train. when the train starts, energy is needed to pull the car up. the steep slope in the middle, the cars meet. this is the tipping point from then on one car pulls the other. this

means that the electric motor, 1st draws power and then release is that halfway up the avenue, that's normal energy that the hotel right next door can use. like with a hot water heater, electricity heats the water launch water tanks in the basement to use to store the thermal energy. the fact that the hotel is located right next to the railroad is ideal for the back, very short distance. it means less heat loss. so that you have of course, in terms of the construction being so close and i was much less straightforward required to connect to the being the hatch. they now the hot water flows and all the hotels 100 rooms, and in the kitchen. the manager of the hotel must sell more. house is quiet place to have the energy from the city killer to heat its hotel, especially in times of high energy prices. made on the on the bill with the stores spun, we have the opportunity to buy electricity at a reduced price. uh, how no more than the money we spend to go straight back to the store spun with get

expedited on the stalls ball and the guns. so it stays here in the community. we have a circular economy, a in a very small space for us. it's a perfect fit and who handles the fairies? both is also down in switzerland, many hotels and restaurants on the mountain stations and have high demands for energy. so the potential for similar projects goes huge, according to engineer vanelle from the sun university of applied science as an odd of the sustainable idea could easily be replicated elsewhere. i don't. busy of these yeah, the know his nice of the system is not very complicated, but it does require a good chord nation between cable car technology and building technology. and once this is in place, it is possible to rely some great projects and escape gave. it needs to come on the for the call yet the offered license by calling stalls with the newly built stools launch. we will come it's 1st guess. next week, the manager to show that everyone who's stable that can have a nice hot shower and

a clear conscience, even if it's a long one, police police will show was thanks to the mountain railroad behind you looks after all, there's no way around breaking on the steepest round way in the world. anyone who's ever been to turkey is probably very familiar with this switch trade circus. the lights locally known as low. come in and does the on tip a close to the border with syria. one of the producers of low come has become quite successful and will show mom is proud of the business she's been able to build. some is one of many syrians who found a new home and going to after the civil war in syria, force them to give up everything. a simple do of water sugar and starch garnished with a pistachio. and there you have it. the famous turkish delight or look home. and so this little coma shop is based in turkey. its owner is syrian

n l sharma fled the civil war to the turkish border. tired of gussy and tip 10 years ago. and then and i have, i learned the basics of low comb production from my grandfather and here i refund to the process. my children will continue this tradition. god willing today's sharma, exposure, look home all over the world. an unusual success story among the more than 3000000 syrian refugees and turkey, 430000 of them live in jersey on tip alone. that's almost the one in 4 of the cities inhabitants. in some areas, syrian businesses dominate the streets. but most syrians here were illegally in factories and construction women and paid employment, or uncommon m a sharma, something of a role model. her look home business was the 1st female lead refugee start up in

syria. she was a housewife habit and then i come and have i wanted to continue the tradition of local making into key. but i realized i needed support. when i found this, i was finally able to open my own business from the initial hosting that support came from germany. the state run, cuz they'll show the internet you and alex is, i'm an update for g. i said, for short gifs, i'm a micro lose. and gas the on to pollute and similar programs of health over $500.00 syrians, to become self employed from the 1st we are covering all the legislation fees. second, we are providing most of complexity development for the individuals who are supporting wanting to we just bought this thing. do we just also suffered? they accommodating for instance, almost sharma. she also provide jump opportunity for her community so that many

students also working here. but there is also resentment among turkish residents towards the city and refugees. the economic crisis, unemployment, high inflation and rising, rents are all contributing factors. so i've mentioned in the members there's, i feel like a refugee in my own city bank and the food and wherever you look, there are syrians everywhere. and then about something that's in the state is more about them than about us. that's why there's so much discontent. and negative sentiment the government too, is aware of the growing discontent. the burden on the cities administration is substantial. that's why funds from germany are a welcome sight. yeah, it is a party to meet the institution support like to is it? and we are trying to, to create the social cohesion without any problems the, the resources, the has limited, but the needs

a lot that's different for and they'll shop living on someone else's dime was always out of the question that but despite her successful business, she faces substantial obstacles as a refugee here. uh no. is that uh like kind of just go to a business meeting or a trade fair. and i just thought of it because we are not allowed to leave the city without the permits. so just to let us know, the bus will be able to go to doris and the 1st we have to get permission from the emigration office of all the videos. and like many other syrians. and they'll show me. i never considered fleeing further west. the old time they've got to the end type reminded her of a letter to her hometown, but being so close yet so far weighs heavily on her a lot of just even if i return to my country, i probably wouldn't find the same people the same atmosphere as before, i'm afraid to every single have changed. a timely return seems i took the question

at the moment, but the new beginning in turkey has been successful with a little help from europe. this next, sorry, blue my mind completely because it shows you just how much technology can bring people together. lee most is a german boy who currently can't physically go to class due to an illness like doing it. this little guy allows, he knows to always stay connected to his fellow students, to lessons in class and school life in general. but how exactly does it work? let's find out. hello louis. good. that you've joined us. we've assigned you to a group already. that gives it okay, let's get started. i will see. thank you. this is lena overall that his bro bought the device has enabled the 7th grader to participate in lessons from home while he's sick. he's been doing this for the past 6 months. and i'm so tired of us in

the beginning when i would participate and it was a real adrenalin rush. i mean cake on this. well, it was scary because i was afraid of seeing something wrong with because it was new for me. i don't live all because the connection might be bad is little. so i'm just the now it's just become everyday life. one. next is biology group which, which proves to be quite the challenge. he controls the camera via trackpad, but the technology doesn't always play alone. disclose internet connection is unstable. the transmission hit and miss you see uh as much does not also have to logo again on to the image bruce us. but the split, the old, he topped the ro, bought, has been a big help. homeschooling was a little trickier with the office the and if he didn't enjoy doing his work on

no, did he understand why you'd have to be that way? it's quite different when a teacher can talk to the children directly. when children can do group work together, what are the it's a lot more fun with then just sitting alone in front of a book. i line a phone book so that the defect of the house in long smith lenise had to stay home during the covered 19 pandemic. his advertising was financed by a gym and heart disease charity because going back to school much or exist him to come in. she can walk slowly on level ground, but climbing stairs is difficult investment. and since there's no elevator at school, he has to go really slowly on like goal for another big problem is running about. i'm looking for simply the stress of having to change the classrooms and climb the stairs done to it before. that's why the avatar is just great. i don't have the hassle of changing classrooms. they send the stuff, allow me to tom and, and lead us as friends even take the road,

but to recess every now and then the avatar is not only supposed to keep children like leaders in the classroom. it's also about keeping him in touch socially. yeah, absolutely. yeah, yeah, i'll send you my address and this from may of the it just feels more like i'm actually there. then if i was on 0, right? no contact to told me anything, the feels much more like actually going to school the screen on the as them mission . that feeling might just become a reality. lenise has medication is working so well in fact that his result may soon be able to be the one to stay home and well, that brings us to the end of this week focused on here of thank you so much for watching. remember to follow us on social media, so you don't miss any of us stories from across europe. i'm gonna show by end of the nose in the,
