The europes largest migrant camp was destroyed by fire. And for the 1st time in 6 decades asia pacific economies are set to contract this year thats the warning from the Asian Development bank. On us the achievements of the Central Council of jews in germany its marking 70 years since its founding following the home. And come to the program the russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny as posted on social media for the 1st time since his poisoning last month the kremlin critic has just just shed a picture from the berlin hospital waste being treated it shows him sitting up in bed surrounded by his family in the post he said he could not breathe on his own. Now for more on this story were joined by w. s chief Political Editor me here like to have me here in the studio here what exactly is not on in saying this 1st instagram well hes saying that i miss you i still dont know how to do anything but he was able to breathe all day by himself with no outside help and he is usually sarcastic tone he said is that that breathing by itself is underrated he recommends. It says you will self as we know it we dont know of course whether he voted himself at the same time we also heard from his spokeswoman that he now has no option and would like to return to russia which is rather surprising with of course the suspicion being very strong that russia is potentially behind this poising attack you talk about this suspicion theres been. Reports i think so far what is the investigation into his poisoning stub yes. Especially this tree of the German Armed Forces was the 1st to identify that this was not a chalk this is an agent that was developed in russia and thats why the German Government keeps pushing moscow to provide answers and to investigate the french and the sweetest of oratory independently have verified that this indeed is the case and theres an Ongoing Investigation of the International Agency for that oversees the ban of chemical weapons because this would. See a breach of an International Treaty banning the use of chemical agents thats where we stand right now ross so says that germany isnt us going the right questions and many is insisting that russia isnt providing enough so this is has a very Strong Political dimension. Now that he can speak for himself do you do can we expect more detail. Well im not sure whether he can really speak for himself i think what were seeing right now is somebody who can breathe by himself and what we the latest that we heard from this area take clinic where he is in berlin deceive you cannot miss is away from here is that they once saw how much damage this attack will leave in the long term and whether he will be fits to return to his former strength so i presume that that would be the next logical step to actually see him in action but we simply havent seen him really recovered fully and being able to speak a whole sentence if you will comes on you have used chief political observer here look whos not thank you. Government sources say germany is to take in around 1500 migrants from the greek islands following a file destroy the morea refugee camp on the island of less force this comes as pressure on the e. U. Is rising to find a solution for the some 12000 people displaced and mostly still living in the open but greece has been urging migrants to move into the new shelters on lesbos no one will leave lesbos without having 1st answered the temporary can govern minister told a greek Radio Station many migrants fear the situation there could be worse before it was. At the back of a long line of hungry people waiting has become part of life on the island of last bus. At the front aide workers handout bags of food. Since the morea camp and down migrants have been camping out on the streets they return to the roadside to eat its a simple but desperately needed meal and soon it will be time to start queuing for the next. Images from the and show new shelter tents for thousands left homeless hundreds of already been resettled and sites like this but others fear moving to the new camps will just perpetuate their misery if the good to new camp moriarty again is to start about to me we experience a one year more e. R. I think its enough to do to stay just fine in the village because hes defending something because piece of. Protesters have been demanding to be allowed to leave less costs nearly 400. 00 unaccompanied children have already left the year of these women and children appear to generally to get them off the island to. Now it appears that courts have been heard reports say germany plans to take in an additional 1500. 00 migrants mostly families with children from the greek islands. But berland doesnt want to go it alone and is pressuring the e. U. Countries to step up to the plate and take in some of the migrants. Was leaving lets just cant come soon enough for these protests does he say that as long as they remain on the island they will never be free. Of them on these developments weve got our chief International Editor Richard Walker with us and our correspondent my son who is in moria in greece richard 1st to give us more details about these reports. Yes well the reports emerging say that germany is getting ready in a Cabinet Meeting tomorrow of the German Government to agree agree on a plan which would see 1500 refugees come to germany and these are made up of 400 families whose asylum applications have already actually been approved now one interesting detail thats coming through in the reporting is that these people are not all necessarily from the morea camp or even from the island of lesbos but from the greek islands more broadly as well and i think that there is this going to be a certain pressure certainly not to give the impression of potentially giving incentives to refugees to take dangerous actions because the greek government says at the moment that their suspicion is that the fire in the morea camp was actually lit by one of the People Living in that camp or some of them so i think that will definitely be a concern now this package of 1500 is also in addition to 150 unaccompanied minors that the government had already said that it was planning to take and. Youre only as you were just inside that area where many of the migrants are being held how is this news likely to go down there. In the restricted area right now and as you can probably tell from what you can see behind me this is a place of suffering people these people managed to escape the fire in the morea camp but they find themselves in a situation that is probably just as bad at the moment you can see behind me people have started constructing a simple shelter with tents with blankets with anything they could pull out of pull out of the camp or anything they could find and its incredibly hot here people are suffering from dehydration and hunger but people also here are quite distribution about the situation. Many of the men have been here for months some of them have been here for years still this news might give some of them hope but in the long run its probably going to be too late for them. To come back to you here in germany why is this issue of migrants so controversial. You know i think migration has the power to great controversy in almost any country but in germany of course there is recent history here of the 2015 migration crisis where germany took in more than a 1000000 people and there is still very differing views on whether that was the right thing to do now you do have some people who are seeing the kind of scenes that max is describing there and going out on the streets even through doing here in berlin recently saying that the government has to do much more to help we should be taking in many people with the government is also wary of fueling populism because you know in the wake of the 2015 crisis the far right populist a. F. D. Party won a lot of support and became a significant force in german politics now its support has cooled off a little bit since then but this is certainly the sort of situation that they are always ready to pounce on also theres a european level to this whole thing the German Government says that it really wants a revamped european way of distributing refugees among Member States that is something that central and Eastern European countries are not keen on but i think thats going to have a fresh impetus now because people are going to be looking at what has happened in moria and saying this is a reminder that this problem is far from being solved. Do you the greek government is not necessarily behind this plan is it wants the migrants to move into temporary facilities what whats the position that the greek government is taking. While this plan seems to have been discussed at the highest level of the greek can German Governments are 1500 people thats thats a lot but this is only a fraction of the numbers of people who are here to start all lets pause. In the entirety of the greek islands so the greek authorities here at the moment it seems are really trying their best to get back into control. To show that they are in power they have issued an order to refugees here and migrants to come to the facilities to to move to the new temporary facilities and told them that if they dont go there theres no chance for them to ever get off the on the because only then there is silent process that they are silent cases will be processed. Masand on lesbos hundreds of walker here in berlin thank you very much. Time now to take a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today an office tower designed by british rockey architects did score file the lebanese capital beirut is quickly extinguished the blaze its the 2nd big fire in the bay in beirut this month and comes after a huge explosion destroyed large parts of the city center in august. 2000 hong kong prodemocracy activists have appeared in court to face charges of Illegal Assembly a prominent movement numbers include jimmy law and joshua warning i stand accused of taking part in a band event in june that commemorated chinas 989 square crackdown.

Us President Trump is back in washington after meeting with officials in california who are battling the worst wildfires on record there and to other western states trump downplayed arguments that Climate Change is fueling the record blazes instead he said poor Forest Management is largely to blame for the fire. These are some of his themes providing the backdrop to the president s visit to california. Raging wildfires that have burned millions of acres wiped out whole communities and left dozens dead. Scientists say places like these are being made. Worse by Climate Change. But donald trump spoke of other concerns after landing in california to meet with top officials. And we have to do a lot about Forest Management obviously Forest Management in california is very important. California governor Gavin Newsome said those concerns were justified but he and other officials went on to press trump on Climate Change just as that of force management science in an observed evidence is self evident that Climate Change is real and that is exacerbating this if we ignore that science and sort of put our head in the sand and think its all about Vegetation Management were not going to succeed together protecting californians ok itll start getting cooler but i was just you just watch i wish science about it but. I dont think science knows actually. And earlier that day harsh words from trumps democratic president ial rival joe biden if you give a climate arsonist 4 more years in the white house why would anyone be surprised if we have more America Blaise if you have a climate denier for more years in the white house why would anyone be surprised when more of america is underwater. But trump has his supporters even in deeply democratic california i was displaced by the taubes fire i woke up with my city in flames and the democrats have not done their Due Diligence policy wise and so if there is a component of Global Warming it is a very very small component because the democrats are failing california meanwhile firefighters on the front lines face challenging conditions with shifting winds and drier weather sparking several new pleases. You dont use us on this bit of other dogs with me in the studio to have a closer look at this argument. Is the highly politicized about which role that playing in trumps can pay and strategy yeah i mean us we as we heard in that report you know this was a very quick visit in and out in about 2 hours so it really shows that you know for candidate trump who is up for reelection and and you know just over 6 weeks this really shows its not a top priority he waited more than 3 weeks to really speak on these wildfires and meantime he went gold saying he tweeted about you know the report is Approval Ratings share false information about voting did a slew of things that show really that he was not very interested in what was going on in california and in oregon and washington why is that well you know this close to the election we can be a bit cynical about it maybe because this is about winning and the reality is that we are looking at states that are reliably democrat theyve gone to the democratic candidate for over 30 years trump has close to no chance of winning in either of those states and you know we were expecting very similar results this time around as well so. I think that the reason that trump decided to go there after all was that you know he has come obviously under fire for his handling of the corona virus pandemic we saw revelations last week showing that he knew about it so that he will fully accept the loss of life you know for maybe potential political gain and i think with these wildfires there watching those thinking you know that could turn into a similar headache this is not for tonight he also for trying to show leadership we heard that woman in the report you know casting blame on Democratic Leaders and that is a strategy that trump has picked up on saying you know the Democratic Leaders in the state all democratic governors have essentially failed their own citizens they should have paid more attention to stuff like Forest Management and saying that they really to some extent cost these fires or are to blame for these power. Lets come to this very argument how realistic is that what book role does Forest Management play in these forest fire was versus Climate Change or is it is it a mixture of both what what is right you know experts agree to a large extent with the president that force management is not just important unsent essential in keeping a lid on these fires thus the thing is that its nothing New California has actually taken steps over the past couple years to do just that the problem is that there is a very very limited window of time in which california can can actually do these controlled earnings because of the climate and the reality is and this is what 97 percent of experts agree on Climate Change is real it is being exacerbated by men and so you know were seeing more droughts where seem strong winds all of these things that come together to make wildfires even worse. And the fact of the matter is and weve seen this throughout trumps presidency that he is not someone who believes in manmade Climate Change he made that very clear yesterday as well he scaled back or eliminated over 150 measures that were in place to protect the marmont hes expanded oil hes bet on you know more coal and oil is more traditional as opposed to more mentally friendly energies hes appointed Climate Change deniers to several key positions such as the Environmental Protection agency. His advantage thus far has been because of this crown of ours. Voters attention elsewhere these wildfires that could change that so it is a risky bet really and theyre not showing any signs of slowing down so well see how that strategy works out. Thank you very much but over the dog. Youre watching still to come is there life on venus scientists. Could be the 1st signs of extraterrestrial life. Neighboring province. But 1st the Asian Development bank says if the region is in its 1st recession in 60 is the nation is likely to set back efforts to lift hundreds of millions of people out of poverty and it could get worse if the pandemic drexel. After months and. On the brink city went was finally ready to welcome back. Shed even invested her savings on trying to prove. A restaurant but just when she thought she was back in business indonesia was again hit with a lot done. Thats the way of the modern set that we only just managed to survive the 1st round of large scale social restrictions and here comes another one. For no im just relieved that we are barely surviving but it will definitely cause an impact on our income and. Asias g. D. P. Is expected to be minus your point 7 percent this year dragged down by dismal results in india thailand the philippines indonesia itself and china next year is projected to be 6. 8 percent below expectations. The Asian Development bank says pursuing active lifestyles and eating well are vital for recovery and any future pandemics then theres the wellness economy which could also boost those efforts it accounts for 11 percent of output in asia its a growing market this vegan Food Producer in china has his eye on our competition is the whole life stock sector its the Animal Protein industry we think its a game of making the keep bigger for all. And definitive inspiration why not follow this south korean couples example prevented from taking their annual vacation they decided to set up camp in their living room while. We were supposed to go on a weeklong trip to new york this summer which we cancelled due to the prolonged coronavirus outbreak. Instead we spent our money buying camping gear which cost us around 8000. 00. Or time i went on board. It may not be the Great Outdoors but it proves you dont even need to leave the house to indulge in some passion or wellness. A ceremony has taken place to mark the 70th anniversary of the founding of the Central Council of jews in germany german chancellor who gave the keynote speech and it she paid tribute to the councils work as a driving force in the return of jewish life since the nazis murdered 6000000 jews in the show up but she also voiced concern over a resurgence of racism and antisemitism in germany today. Many ages we do not feel safe do not feel respected in our country this is the other part of todays reality and it is one that causes me grave concern it is a shame. And i am deeply ashamed that racism and antisemitism manifesting itself in these times and it is truth racism and antisemitism that never disappeared completely but for considerable time these appear more visible and. Without restrictions transparency theories and insults are now openly speaking out against jewish citizens in the social media many statements. Hatred and smear campaigns and that is something we must never accept science has some exciting news from the world of science strawman astronomers discovered what could be signs of life on venus theyve detected a gas and its up and sphere one so far only been found on a its usually a byproduct of organic matter breaking down the news has been hailed by the head of nasa as the most Significant Development yet in the hunt for extraterrestrial life. Is there life in the clouds around venus. Its too early to tell but an International Research team has discovered a clue the rare gas fos feen on earth its produced by microbes who live in low oxygen environments. Telescopes in chile and hawaii spotted the gas by its chemical signature. Phosphate in molecules in venus is clouds absorb short wave radio waves that exist in the lower atmosphere but can the gas really come from microorganisms. Dont even the researchers explicitly say that they are not in the position to state that theyve discovered life in venuss atmosphere. Could result from natural processes like lightning volcanic activities or for other reasons most of any case. If there really are microorganisms in venus as clouds they would be hearty beings indeed those clouds are full of still fear of acid which is harmful to life. Whether there is truly life in those clouds must be confirmed by further observation a Russian Space probe is expected to reach venus is surface in the coming decade. Youre watching news is a reminder of the top stories were covering for you today russian opposition politician lets say now has shed a post of himself surrounded by his family of the berlin hospital where hes being treated for poison its the 1st time the kremlin critic has reached out on social media since the incident says hes now breathing on his own. And german media reports suggest that chancellor the government agreed to take in around 1500. 00 migrants from the 3 got. This comes of the pressure off the more than 12000 people who are left without shells off to a far told through the old crowd is more common on the garlands of les pauls last. And thats it from me on the new seam all of it update for you at the top of the hour of course coming up next close up in it all my colleagues follow a group both young ukrainians who are putting their lives on the line to clear the land and the unexploded. Doesnt you can all get all the latest news and information while the clock on a website says the languages. Call also follow us. Put on instagram the humblest. Was funny and thats more. Modern. Clearing mines in ukraine one step at a time many young highly qualified people want to free their country from land mines and booby trapped. Theyre even retraining to do it on the job 6 days a week away from their families. Whats driving them close up. Next on t. W. Did beethoven in general just did it did it did to do dick did too did do. Did is it was a dud 600. No might he be the true king of rock n roll. So many rubber bands of stolen beethoven. And with of course the subconscious always one thing is clear the band beethoven just wildly popular. T. V. I see a sure i see a star i love you sure. But how would the world sell without the biggest composer of all time i cant even begin to imagine a world class horn player single willis on a musical journey of discovery. World without beethoven starts september 16th on the w. Pad. This is our Little Museum the most important thing to know is that they are very very dangerous. D. Minus like yelena fall and remove hidden explosives 6 days a week crane has one of the worlds highest numbers of civilian deaths and casualties linked to land mines and the like children here from a very young age. And mines national. I wonder leg. Thats right bullets. Or a mine did this to me. Lucy chomsky is a town in Eastern Ukraine yana change came here 2 years ago but 29 year old is a lawyer by training. It is 8 in the morning and as usual shes getting ready to go to work. For the. The mr i put my hair into a ponytail so i can work with a visor otherwise my hair gets in my face when i put it on. The so what did. I want in the Civil Service before going on Maternity Leave and then the conflict started and i had to flee my home i want to know what are the. Yelena works here together with 22. 00 other ukrainian colleagues they have also been living together here under one roof for almost 2 years our employer is an International Mine Clearing Organization gold but Danish Demining Group. Lucy chance was briefly in the hands of pro russian separatists at the beginning of the war in 2014 today the town is back in the control of the ukrainian government. 13000 people have died so far in the conflict and many flat. Yelena fled from a town that is now part of separatist controlled territory. That it was but im from have all my school i decided to come here because of the conflict my town was under heavy bombardment and it was too dangerous to stay there. It was a big shock for all of us none of us ever thought that Something Like this would ever happen to us. But they say that thats the. On their way to work the mine clearance have to pass through one of the many checkpoints it is close to separatists territory and therefore access is subject to strict surveillance. Based on driving through fields the socalled contact line or the front as the people here call it is just 15 kilometers away suddenly placed on the back. Of. Our team leader poverty checks 1st to make sure everythings ok. But yeah. Thats one of the safety routines every day they monitor whether anything has changed the area against the all clear and the team meeting can start here at line 122 and that line 3 to 4 is where sergei is working. Thats a warm order hes got a few metres to go and this is where we will start working please make sure you would hear to the safety rules and keep the prescribed distance apart thats a very important. Move over. The area where the mine clear as all working was once farming land but in 26 team 3 soldiers were killed here now after they drove over an antitank mine and it hasnt been used since that red mark show where you are not allowed to trend the safety regulations are very strict the team members communicate using hand signals radios and whistles. Yelena is starting whats known as the humanitarian mine clearance she is combing through every centimeter of ground to completely rule out any danger. With a piece of wire jelena is searching for a trip wires that could trigger an explosion. Now the crafts can be clipped so metal detectors can be used to search for mines and unexploded ordinance. Litter tanks can locate antipersonnel and antitank mines as well as any other unexploded combat devices made of metal. Detectors sounds on i love its imperative now to be as cautious as possible. Jelena is marking the spot the triangle shows where it is safe to start taking. Most land mines are concealed with their detonators pointing upwards so you only ever try to start digging for them from the side. Team leader pavels signals its time to take a break. Theres a 10 minute break every 15 minutes to ensure that everyone stays focused. In wars and sometimes you can advance 20 meters in a time sometimes just 2 thats not up to us it depends on what we come across the way. Yelena and her colleagues have been working for almost 2 years on these fields an area thats about the size of 130 soccer pitchers. The equivalent of 1000000. 00 soccer pitches are believed to be contaminated in ukraine and that doesnt include the separatist held areas. Yet ukraines economy is heavily dependent on agriculture many farmers just ignore the danger and work their land nonetheless. It remains very difficult to pinpoint where mine sent to unexploded ordinance could be located here near lissie chance the Danish Demining Group is trying to find out the dogs show where people have already been injured by mines the greatest concentration of mines lies along the red line of contact. We set off a star needs here a lot of. Yellowness colleague tatiana version of tents for a checkpoint that leads into the pro russian separatists controlled area to raise awareness about the danger of mines and unexploded ordinance. And theres a why has it gotten out as we knew it of course these events have turned my life upside down yet of what the low body for the conflict i was employed in a bank as a project manager. Of the. I was also responsible for personnel. Law i had an interesting job that is in the air but then my town was occupied and i had to leave their young resolve. But this is the checkpoint where people cross into territory controlled by the pro russian troops. 30 ana and her colleagues come here 3 times a week. There are many places where it is possible to enter or leave separatist town territory thousands of people cross this checkpoint daily to visit their families or to pick up their ukrainian state pensions. The border number this checkpoint is just for pedestrians cars arent allowed here people can only cross on foot. Many come from far and wide and often have to wait in line for hours before they can cross this is where the territory controlled by the ukrainian state and use and the selfproclaimed peoples republic of law hands begins the Ukrainian Defense ministry believes that contamination by land mines and other remnants from fighting is even higher in separatist held territory the blown up bridge marks the current contact line a minefield start right by the side of the road according to the Danish Demining Group 145 people have been killed and injured here since the start of the conflict. Back aimlessly chance its the end of the working day for yelena. Meant this is my little son he likes collecting leaves and he really looks forward to autumn then he says mama look how beautiful they are and hes visited me a few times he always points to me and says my mama works there thats her in blue but of course he doesnt understand what i do for a living and i tell him im doing it so that you can run around again without us having to worry about you. Never mind if. The where you are with us the russian as i was. Just as theres numbers that the number of times that i overnight here depends on my work of course i want to spend as much time as i can with my son but on some days its just not possible thats why my mom looks after hannah biochemist and mom and when its. In their free time a mind clear is trying to distract themselves from the harsh realities of the conflict it is a fact of the mold. In our apartment block was heads and badly damaged it was a 10 Story Building with lots of apartments shells hit the top floor and the building next door the top 7 floors of the block just folded in on themselves ok watching and i like playing piano but i cant at the moment i had to abandon my piano but almost. 7 am the next day. Recorded we have breakfast together but everyone comes to the table when it suits them i dont. Mind claras come from different regions and have very different professional backgrounds. Alexei erase co is 32 and used to work as a psychologist now he works as the project coordinator here. He retrained as a specialist in the identification and defusing of explosive devices when the mine clearance finds something its alexei who decides how they should proceed. Will. Solve many doesnt sorry of activity can you see if theres anything inside. Its an open wooden crate. Ok whats your position. Blind to. Can you see me. Alexei goes to take a look for himself on all this is what we found or theres the bag with the tool support. Group. Been missing as for ever the eyes you can where possible move more weve just decided that well have to remove the crate 1st from a considerable distance on a more. Than we need a rope in the caribbean or cliff to do that going to be we will all move 50 meters away and then it could be able to track of the most of what they did yes a commotion ahead you create might be concealing a grenade or a landmine or Something Like that if that was you sure. Whos coming with me there with me. Alexei needs as many details as possible. To the metal detector people to create remember that youll follow almost all the yes but i didnt go any. Further just up to the line. Lets take off our advisors. More tools are needed for the next step. Just 7 kilometers away children are attending school. Its 10 am morning break time for during an hour and the other children. In School Number trying to 3 the dangers of mines and unexploded bombers is also a topic my. Children are particularly at risk when they are playing outside in the fields on words thats why tatiana is here to give a talk. That i just got a dog good morning children. A because it really is tell me what you can see on the picture here. Munition grenades and what are they. Right bullets. And what you got there so tell me what do you think happened here one of those i. Mean it was awful their mama told them that they werent allowed to go there because they were landmines. But he didnt listen and he stepped on a mine i cant tell for but. He just wanted to look him play the big guy a bit. But he didnt watch where he was stepping on a mine exploded. And he lost a leg and eye and an arm even. Emirs or even if he had. What over here tatiana often uses store is to get across the danger of mayans to the younger children. This week does a little bit of boredom we do most of the sessions with the children before the long holidays so they know how to behave when theyre playing outdoors without their parents in the survey when you but i wouldnt say i did it. In Eastern Ukraine about 200000 children have to walk through land contaminated with landmines and explosives on their way to school or. Im not scared but i wouldnt like to see a sign like that because there could be landmines right next to it and. According to the United Nations unexploded bombs sometime mines are the most common cause of death or severe injury among children in ukraine. But destroyed weapons warehouse 100 kilometers father solve of lissie chanced. In june 2800. 00 enemy fire scattered munition and explosives around the area. A tragedy waiting to happen to elena and her son sasha. He told me he founded when he was Walking Around and he saw it somewhere amongst the plants that he picked it up and took it home with him. Just not in the will not. Be valid way the only times my son was sitting there his tablet was plugged in the t. V. And the lights were on and he said he was just looking at the thing when it exploded from one minute to the next yeah everything looked as if it had gone through the shredder. He said himself that he had no idea what had happened we poignant for you. It was the place i was standing outside and had to crawl in through the window to get to him he was lying against the inside of the door and i even had to fetch our documents otherwise he wouldnt have been treated even in a case like this. There was broken glass everywhere he was all came. To him one of his hands was blown off and the splinters went through his eye and one in his forehead. As they couldnt save his eye was it and not of it yet that pollutant who had a woman. With. Not just all shockers. In the meantime yelena and alexei have called the rope and the cattle been a clip but they need to examine the crate more closely. Everyone else has gathered as their same distance 50 meters away. They are all waiting down. Lets say is now the only one near the crash. That it will all but alex a is going to attach the caribbean or clip and then hes going to leave the area and pull the rope. First he has to take cover well pull the rope all. Were all curious to see what happens then. Theres a secret to speaking everyone has to squat down no one is allowed to stand im going to start pulling. The rope seems to have got tangled up. If something doesnt explode splinters and stones can become fatal projectiles and theyre wearing bulletproof fasts for that reason but protective clothing is of no use if a landmine goes off in the immediate vicinity. Theres no explosion we have to wait another 5 minutes to be on the safe side. Its vital that we always stick to that safety procedure and wait each time one is more than a mobile not but go above normal if we can only approach the site if there is be no explosion up to 5 minutes. Clear relief around. The only thing that i have come across the safety cap of my detonator from a highly explosive projectile. There are probably needs inside this great. Resource of her to abuse it as a target it has been delivered here once and. Experiences like this bring people closer look at the very thing that if they knew her would care weve become something of a Little Family not a good thing because we spent most of the day together from. The middle of. The lunch break bring some relief when i leave the minefield the tension of the last few hours begins to wave operate. Lizzy chance. Anatoly and his wife have been living here since 2015 after fleeing fighting in the rebel held territory ana tolly is making a broom out of out plastic bottles and he wouldnt be able to cope without the help of his daughter oksana. Oxana. Give me the bottles please so i can start their. Order. When the separatists took over our farm and started looting plan during we decided to flee. With. Packed our things and set off. We didnt get very far. Maybe a 100 meters. There. And then it got us through. As anatoly and his wife were fleeing an antitank mine exploded under vax. Hes unsure which side of a town took the brunt of the explosion both of them were critically injured his wife is barely able to leave her bed. Im finished oh yeah. Sure what do i have to show for landmines or i got this from a landmine. What i mean and i got this from our own doing here. Thats whats left of me. I was always very active. I couldnt sit still. I ran i jumped i sang and i danced there was this is my daughter she lives with us now. And we cried together. Since 2014 almost 2000 people in Eastern Ukraine have been severely injured or killed by landmines all bombs. After a tiring day its important for aleck scientist switch off and take some time out from one. Position.
