1:32 pm
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 to have on democracy for russia. and we want, we just want people to leave and freedom is not be afraid of them to get them jail . natalia and other supporters of the late russian of position liter. alexa, unknown, the own admission in the now i think we have the responsibility to stop it. before curious and wants to like, blow up the homework. the new great faith of many young russians is nevada and these widowed julia, novelle. now, they started following her off these unexplained this and assigned being present
1:33 pm

1:34 pm
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's pronounced on if it's correct, go ahead and do that. thank you very much. from natalia calls, people in russia. talk to them about the war in ukraine, it's victims and the costs which and if there was enough, but we are very tacitly against the russian government, which i knew many of them might never have been confronted with the different opinions. we wanted to make them sing and looking at her was $36.00. 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 years. what city do you live in chicago and my color
1:35 pm
is or just go through that was a young woman dougherty. 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 a huge but also to to and calls this lower progression ukraine, a special operation a although he's no longer alive, the young people are inspired. 5 patients, best known rival alexi novel name for us to treat movies, whites, your store, one must not give us. the only thing necessary for the trying for people is for the good people to do nothing. so do not do nothing. and so 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 can not be undone. named
1:36 pm
julia nevada. now, yeah, is the new icon of the opposition to 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 this here, dw, will on or union of all my uh, with the freedom of speech award. living in acosta 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. but 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 dining moods and slowing down businesses in the small fishing town. which still appears to be in a delicacy side tire, just an hour and
1:37 pm
a half east of london. that's why the small beach ought to your good for the equivalent of about $70000.00 euros each. there's just one snag. it sometimes really smells here. whenever it rains heavily, the water companies dump ro effluent into the harbor, which then ends up in the sea. this is a huge problem for locals such as graham west to farms. the titans famous oysters, this incredible amount of the lease has have you told me vines? and indeed yourself may just stay on the fisherman house with that with me just now . when i'm looking to move he can no longer sell it as 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 it, the fecal residues from the oysters is a massive amount of work. which means more money
1:38 pm
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 me up here 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 walter companies are only suppose to do this and exceptional cases. if it's been raining heavily, then we, we expect every day. but those licenses well, will create to them. they are and expect to be able to would need to release about
1:39 pm
8 times a year, which i mean, that happens within a couple of weeks. yeah. even to date, when the weather is fine, there is a smelly prime liquid dripping out of the pipe. there is still a little way for the sewage. comes the previous $56.00 to be those bugs that coming on with them. but it's not height, height when things get really messy when sewage discharges will go unnoticed. but all over england, protest groups are posting through 2 such as this from which to do something with a truck. occasionally the companies are fine, but they can deal with this. in 2023 alone, there were 400000 official discharges of sewage in 2 rivers and coastal waters of england. and this is all happening on an island for many people swim whatever the weather.
1:40 pm
like this group of women, who since the pandemic have met regularly on the beach to maintain their physical and mental well being b, c, the 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 its way in they go to today. the temperature is only 9 degrees celsius. the in the the wilder warming of they talk about their feelings of powerlessness, but also about their sense of resilience. the water companies have said it will take years to repair the pipes. so these women have find ways to adapt
1:41 pm
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 got and it can keep a car. and 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 want to do. but there are some women in which the goals were not willing to accept the situation. for example, elaine, there's no refusing to pay for her watch her bill. as far as long cents, i paid them, i'm old enough to pay for $2.00 bills since privatization they go up, the company is free and that free we have paid for them to create our water and they have not done it. they have just dump it in the c illegally, so it goes to pay how much of a package to come up. and so far she is one of the few to take such a radical step. but she says she's had enough,
1:42 pm
especially as the bills are due to go up drastically. i don't ever 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, so you see what we would think we would be. the circle of active resistors is still small. a local artist as a right 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. usually they say, 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 to
1:43 pm
why should not be serious the 19 ninety's private walter operators of peter over 70000000000 euros to their shareholders and the country is literally sinking to the month. it will be decades before people compete. again, with a warranty. but even if the state were to take over the link 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's feet this cable re way 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
1:44 pm
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 speeds. it brings people up to the store of ski slopes and 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. 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,
1:45 pm
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 heat 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 round value is ideal for the back be the short distance. that means less heat loss. so that these kind of course in terms of the construction being so close and i was much less straightforward required to connect being the hatch, the 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 finished 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,
1:46 pm
how no matter 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 gets huge. according to engineer vanelle from the sun university of applied sciences and all the sustainable idea could easily be replicated elsewhere. i don't know of the, you know, the know he's these that from 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 stores with the newly built store slow. and we welcome it's 1st guess. next week,
1:47 pm
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, the least probably will show was thanks to the mountain railroad. the idea works. 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 to 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 of is one of many syrians who found a new home and goes on to after the civil war in syria, forced them to give up everything. a simple do of washer sugar and starch garnished with the stuff you. and there you have it. the famous turkish delight or
1:48 pm
look home. and so this look home shop is based in turkey. its owner is syrian and they'll show on the flat the civil war to the turkish border, tired of garcia and to 10 years ago. and then and i have, i learned the basics of low comb production from my grandfather and here i refined 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 $1.00 and $4.00 of the cities inhabitants. in some areas, syrian businesses dominate the streets. but most syrians here work illegally in factories and construction women and paid employment or uncommon
1:49 pm
m a sharma is something of a role model. her look home business was the 1st female lead refugee startup. 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 kind of, i was finally able to open my own business from any i'm not sure. husky, that support came from germany. the state run cuz they'll shut the internet. you and alex is, i'm an update for g. i said for short, give shut me out, 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. we are providing with the complexity development for the individuals we are supporting wanting to we just by missing the we just also suffered de accommodating for instance,
1:50 pm
almost trauma. she also provide jump opportunity for her community. so there are 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. while maintaining the members, there's a 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. 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 or a welcome sight. yeah, it doesn't. it's a penny to meet the institution support like to is it? and we are trying to, to create the social cohesion without any problem the,
1:51 pm
the resources, the has limited, but the needs a lot that's different for and know shall not 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. is that we can't just go to a business meeting or a trade share on if you thought of it, because we are not allowed to leave the city without the permits. so just let us know the bus will be able to go to dodson. the 1st we have to get permission from the emigration office of all the videos, unlike many other syrians, and they'll show i'm a never considered fleeing further west. the old time, the guys, the entech reminded her of a letter to her hometown. but being so close yet so far weighs heavily on her in the even if i return to my country,
1:52 pm
i probably wouldn't find the same people the same atmosphere as before. i'm afraid 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 story blew 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? well, let's find out. hello, latest. good. that you've joined us. we've assigned you to a group already, because it ok, let's get started. i will see. thank you. this is lena overall, the his bro bought the device has enabled the 7th grader to participate in lessons
1:53 pm
from home while he's sick. he's been doing this for the past 6 months and the absence todd last in the beginning when i will participate and it was a real adrenalin rush. i mean cake on the smell. it was scary because i was afraid of seeing something wrong with that one. so it was because it was new for me, i don't live on a because the connection might be bad as 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. the screws, internet connection is unstable. the transmission hit and miss. uh, yes, let me see if this does not also have to log out again on the the image bruce us. but the split, the old, he topped the road, 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
1:54 pm
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 i mean, it's a lot more fun than just sitting alone in front of a book. i line a phone book, so that's the defect to the house and long some. and lena's had to stay home june because of 19 pandemic. his appetite 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 less often goals for another big problem is running about. i'm looking for simply the stress of having to change classrooms and climb the stairs done to tell. that's why the avatar is just great though. i don't have the hassle of changing classrooms. that's and that's,
1:55 pm
that's what i'm really 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 lena's in the classroom. it's also about keeping him in touch socially. yeah, yeah, yeah, i'll send you my address and this for me, i've the, it just feels more like i'm actually there. then if i was on zoo uh brand new contact at home, between the oven or the, feels much more like actually going to school. but as far as them mission, that feeling might just become a reality. lenise, his medication is working so well. in fact that his robot may soon be able to be the one to stay home. 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. b so you don't miss any of us stories from across europe. i'm gonna show by end of the nose in
