The e. U. Doesnt recognize him as the legitimate leader of the country he was sworn in for a new term as president in the capital city minsk the ceremony was held and announced just before a number of chills and supporters on the streets thousands are calling for fresh elections without. The women of belarus have become the face of the current protests their voices are growing louder enough is enough thats them missing after 26 years they want a new leader for their country and a Better Future for their Children Women and sofia who go out to protests week after week these 2 courageous women refused to be intimidated by the authorities. The womens march had barely begun when the police started making their 1st arrests over the past weeks bellerose has ramped up its crackdown on protesters but despite it all these women come back each saturday to make sure their voices heard it was like everything was quiet then suddenly those henchmen showed up and dragged these young women into their bastards what did they ever do to them were not scared for our own safety were worried about our children and grandchildren we want them to live in a normal country without this kind of. You know i knew someone would said the little girl. On line sofia are outraged and tried reasoning with the police. This time they cant get any of the women released. More but alice says she and her friend sophia both retired School Teachers do command a certain respect with the officers when the 2 women 1st met at a protest against the christian company. The authoritarian has been bringing the country up against. More and more about the recipients were expressing solidarity with these courageous women their bravery has aspired others to overcome their fears and join the opposition. Or were seeing women are leading the charge against me because frankly. I. Was was was i. Was it was. As what they affectionately call the opposition figurehead mahdi a kalashnikov. She resisted forced deportation by tearing up her passport and was then detained by authorities. In opposition leaders are now either behind bars are in exile. Tells us that luka has been clinging to power with always mind ever since the rigged election. When i voted for. I was sure that everything would stay the same that nothing would change. Then after the election i heard people on the streets shouting long live below truth. That made me think we would win. Look i shant go has deeply offended by the routine of women with this sexism weve always had equal rights here. In the us a version. More and more openly defying look at his regime. Hes a fraud. You know what he was we were so hell yeah that whole thing with the secret inauguration they dont seem to feel the need to prove anything to the people anywhere. Our president is a sexist we want to show him how strong we are. We want to show. Respect for having been arrested. And. Is now taking the threat these women pose more seriously arrests were meant to be a deterrent but theyre having the opposite effect. And sophia tell us that theyll be out on the streets of flying the flag of the opposition as long as their legs will carry them even if its just the 2 of. You weve often brought you stories of migrants crossing the mediterranean from north africa to europe but theyve also been crossing another dangerous waterway that doesnt get as much attention thousands of migrants have ventured across the British Channel this year a record high crammed in rubber boats they make their way from france on to the u. K. And locals who dont want the u. K. To take in any more refugees often clash with those willing to help people like matt coker. Its 5 am in the port of dover normally skipper matt coker and his crew member tony would be heading out to go game fishing but these days theyre too busy saving peoples lives especially the west of the place. It is ok there we go were. Over say thank you storm front cures and has just passed over now that the seas are calmer conditions are ideal for crossing the English Channel to fall as you see you know its walking all its not all. Autobots across the channel to dive because its calm. It was 2 years ago that matt 1st spotted a rubber boat with migrants bound for britain these days he encounters desperate refugees almost daily there leaving no i think the results are going to be saying even debate shes involved. And i want to get that 1st couple of miles the wife of a full account dialogue so they seem to be leaving and so its very all over the phone and then they get to the shipping lines and we go through the busiest shipping lines going up and down. Its near dawn when matt makes out a tiny vessel some 20 kilometers off the french coast. The English Channel is the busiest waterway in the world. This season seafarers are stunned the 3 men have made it this far as the 2 inches of freeboard in the hall of fog exhausting you so if a wife goes over it will sink. So. I will look out for that well then yeah because margaret was so to the west of the last ship just just told the coast guard that theres another thing down to the west. And he said so if you could you could you keep a visual both of them theyre only allowed to take the man on board if the vessel is sinking this isnt the case so for now all they can do is stay alert and wander among now you need flight to england. But it takes a moment some more than. Most you know you know when ive gone get me some stuff we just dont know if im going to come out and make sure everybodys out tonight night. So far this year over 5000. 00 migrants have crossed the English Channel its become a major Transit Route for refugees as long as weather conditions remain favorable many more will be risking the passage they want to reach the island before braggs it is finalized these days dover harbor is full of abandon vessels some of the local pushback however is bewildering. Blocks coming into the country that we dont know nothing about it concerns me to be honest with you up because i could be anyone they could be right motorists they could be criminals and we know nothing about them we put them up in hotels and then given them houses. Gross misconceptions like these against the new arrivals are common among many of them self declared british petri many of these angry working class protesters fear britain is being overrun by foreigners. Weve got hundreds of thousands are homeless. Weve got tens of thousands of Homeless Veterans on the streets and yet these are common in our blood you know what a nice poor 5345 story out costs enough to float bottle last on a left to die on the streets and weve got enough we have got you know. The protesters are directing their ire at lawmakers to you they see Prime MinisterBoris Johnson elected on the promise of curbing immigration has failed to deliver we try to sound like im stuck on. I mean for years weve been 100 nights in signature petition went and. Were. Going to start government. Government for your labor so the next step in this is we have to bring it to the street some have even started taking the law into their own hands you know thats what you. Own the guys that was a simple. Blood we wouldnt both have room they. Dont have the truck because youre tired of all. The selfproclaimed vigilante live streams the events on you tube yeah thermo. The resentment could be borne chiefly out of ignorance only hes right wing lies about how they live in hotels at the touch his expense is not true. 11. 00 shell probably one shell claim for asylum is being processed you have 37. 00 pounds a week to live on yeah as might be so to 5 year us i dont have a space nothing. Matt kolker has only been at sea for a few hours and has already spotted the 3rd migrant boat today 9 individuals from afghanistan are trapped on their vessel unable to maneuver and you are. Just broken general just innocent looking man you know you know what is no marking on the important thing you can smell it. They want to board mats vessel were not allowed to tell you anything to do you cry because. I would i would. Not allow would no doubt check your boat or anything but we can stay with the i the how i would not let me drive both matt my only report and stay with the boats he discovers otherwise he could be charged for trafficking the life boat is tell me now. So i just want to know a lot. On this day alone the british coast guard rescued 319 refugees. Meanwhile thousands are still waiting in france to risk crossing the channel. The guy crate im in russia is the largest permafrost crater in the world and although its located in one of the coldest regions on earth in siberia its 2 is facing the effects of the Climate Crisis the ice is thawing increasing the craters size year by year and the rising temperatures are an Alarming Development and they could affect the livelihood of people like cousinly of he needs the colds to keep Food Supplies for his community fresh. Deep in the heart of the mountain is where causing cousinly if keeps a supply thats because its cold here freezing cold even in summer some products can be stored here for up to 2 years without spoiling. Here we store so for all your tongues meat to date or chips to fruit its practical and much cheaper than a climate controlled warehouse. Even in summer the temperature in this ice cellar is normally 15 degrees celsius below 0 but cousin can tell that northern siberia is getting warmer and warmer even underground. Things are naturally kept cold here in the permafrost now weve covered the cellar up with sheets to keep out the warmth. This year the i summer was water trimmed agrees war with that change isnt too bad its ok that bit more. But for how much longer in the village of guy there are many ice cellars like. The village depends on them for it supplies overland access is only possible when the river is frozen for 4 months a year it forms the road in and out. For the generator able we can use the winter coats to receive supplies. In the summer because you 3 stories get weekly deliveries by airplane from the regional capital you could say its expensive but necessary. With temperatures that can drop to minus 50 degrees in winter life in about a guy is dictated by the cold permafrost still covers the area but its starting to thaw. This is the but i got a crater just a few kilometers from the village its the largest permafrost crater in the world one kilometer wide and a. Meters deep and its growing. The crater was originally caused by deforestation as the frozen earth was no longer protected by trees today its also exposed to the rising arctic temperatures the melting permafrost sets off a vicious cycle the organic substances in the ice decompose as it melts which releases more Greenhouse Gases which in turn speeds up Global Warming. What modern processes were observing at the bottom like a crater are things were seeing everywhere else just to a lesser extent the ice under the ground melts on the ground collapses but it happens everywhere. But the glacier about a guy crater is the perfect example of why we shouldnt mess around with the permafrost its will smith as well toys for rupturing it sure. But the true severity of the situation has been slow to hit home even though the signs are clear neighboring brace a youngster is otherwise one of the coldest places in the world but this summer temperatures hit 38 degrees its never been so hot because most houses in the region are pressed on stilts in the ice the record temperatures could widely destabilize the building foundations. Houses here could collapse because of the melting permafrost was most the most the most basic and supports in the ground just like all public water and sewage systems. So. If they start shifting there could be accidents. Global warming will cause a lot of problems here. To meet with. The earth is also moving and test seems ice seller everywhere there are wide cracks like this one. Christine plugs them up with water which then freezes and reinforces the walls with blocks of ice he says ice is always shifting in the cracks have nothing to do with Global Warming and even if they did he says people here would adapt. The public will manage even without an eye center book its not that bad lets hope everything turns out ok. For to see him in his eye cell or the effects of Climate Change still seem to be a long way off and many people here still dont know anything the cold for most months of the year but that is starting to change. This years summer was a tough one for anyone working in the Tourism Industry lockdowns travel restrictions and strict hygiene measures have kept the masses away from tourist hot spots like barcelona and spain businesses there are struggling to survive with little to no income and many locals are worried about their future but in the midst of all this uncertainty they are using the resty from tourism to rediscover the beauty right at their front door. The Sagrada Familia is barcelona Star Attraction the perennial construction site the basilica has been a work in progress for 138 years the cranes and scaffolding never stop tourists from flocking here in droves but covered 19 house. There are the locals are reclaiming their church. The lines of tourists were always so long but now its empty. Seriously theres little money to be made on the some grad a familial lately. So for 4 hours every saturday and sunday locals are allowed in for free. For many its the 1st visits ever for others their 1st in years. Out i havent been here since i was 8 that was ages ago it took us whats it like without to. Look at me and. Barcelona is ours again. We can stroll on a thermal mass an element that. Is a series of streets that make barcelonas famous pedestrian boulevard. These images were shot 3 years ago. And this is how it looks now. The same place at the same time of year. You know you work it out on the market in ive been working here for over 25 years and even on a rainy winter nights thats what im lost or livelier than this one. Nearby is love agreed barcelonas famous food market many of the pricey stands that cater to target have closed down. The remaining shops have been here for years like maria jose at the egg is a paltry business she took over from her mother. For the corona crisis locals would complain but the crowds. Monitored be plenty of room for them yet theyre still staying away. The merchants come to understand why. Its ok said i just have it work id really like to know now we could really use them but they wont come it just goes to show that their complaints about tourists were exaggerated our old neighbors go to the supermarkets now and the few that are coming back to us hardly make the difference. So you get out. Garcia loaners once most attractive hot spots have become oddly quiet for example the trendy elbow in district in the city center. Many of the small shops here lived off the Foreign Tourists who wanted to treat themselves to Something Special while on vacation. German designer lisa lampe makes and sells her own bags here but now she is giving up the shop. Sales have slumped yet the rents remains as high as ever. Her landlord refused to give her a break he thought its noisy and looking for a new shop a smaller cheaper one its a good thing the rents are falling well see what happens in my case it was some neighboring businesses managed to negotiate lower rents but many are simply going out of business. Its estimated that 40 percent of the shops in melbourne wont survive the crisis some may move to cheaper districts like many former residents did after High Rents Force them out of the inner city. These images were also captured 3 years ago back then many buildings were being renovated and remodeled the walls were covered with graffiti telling terse to go home the city sees the crisis as a chance to right past wrongs and set a different course for the future. As those who are and those that see these that were taking a break now that was good but we mustnt forget that these problems did exist even that we need to address them before the tourists return and when theres a little bit of that isnt. Barcelona want to belong entirely to the locals indefinitely. But maybe its councillors can shape the citys future little by little just as the cigarette a familiar has for the last 138 years. That might help reconcile barcelona with their home. If youre a catholic then you must be familiar with the practice of confession traditionally this requires sitting in a small back confession box and telling your priests your sins but if the people in bad austria want to get something off their chest they dont even have to step foot in a church they can talk to the local priest to stand in the worlds 1st and only confessional cable car. The faithful flock to father christiane theres masses at the Parish Church in the austrian spa town. Yet the priest is still feels its his duty to carry the lords message out to the people pleaser and even jesus didnt hide away in a temple or synagogue he went out and preached and healed the neemo and thats my understanding of what Pastoral Care should be today. So every other friday father their heads off on a special mission right across town. Here in a stall check gondola line ferries visitors up and down mt cotton its a longstanding tradition but the idea of creating a confessional cable car is new and came about after a few beers at the summit guest house. First we had dismissed it as a joke. But then it got stuck in our minds and 4 years later we finally realized the project. Now is the cable car operator im really happy to have the worlds 1st gondola compassionate. Father earlier takes matters into his own hands and helps get the gondola going here he welcomes everyone even those who have little time for the church like this artist from. Like many people dont dare go to church that might be because theyve had bad childhood memories or because its so big a fear of respect its much easier. Youre to talk here out in nature so a gondola like this is optimal. It isnt religious but hes impressed by father who he calls his favorite priest so why not take the opportunity to talk to him in the god of. The trip to the top takes 15 minutes and takes them almost a 1000 meters closer to the sky. He said became like these people experience a certain levity ascending the mountain. In the bible the mountain is a place where one is closer to god. There are many examples from the holy scriptures you can clearly people feel that way to. Nearer my god to me. What people tell him is protected by the seal of confession but father says in the confession cable car hes heard just about everything from the same problem. I had someone who wanted to send his wife up with me so she could finally confess all her sins so to speak and rid herself of that lofty heights as there. Was a lot of discussion about existential questions which can be tough. So you make a few jokes about it but it is an issue that. The artist said it was a real experience maybe because theyre talking the gondola had nothing to do with religion or the church the conversation just flows a bit like the Healing Waters of. The ride was how long 15 minutes felt like one minute i mean i could ride with him all day if i really had to confess all my sins and probably have to ride with him for a whole week. With it instead he has a drink with friends meanwhile the gondola confessional continues on its way between earth and the heaven. And thats. And for this weeks focus on europe i hope you can join us again next week thanks for watching take care of the bad you really are you. Thank you lou. Move. Move move move. Move move move. Move. Move move move. Move move. Move move move. Conflicts you dont hear a lot about it in europe these days but for more than 2 months follow feria compulsed financial corruption as you government demonstrations by just this week from sofia to speed so so much about minister and social of spiders she contributed stuff in the judgment which mistreated its most Vulnerable People who may lation of its human rights over. The flip flops the few minutes. Of. Hows it feel knowing. Where i come from but all of that could just go it just like with chinese food thats a measure of where i am as a resume minds me of hope after decades of living in germany chinas code is one of the things i miss the most but better taking a step back i see a moment when you talk differently now. No. Printed for its press as an article in a sense that its just the other part of the wall havent been and benefited in china thats not to attack people wondering if theyre going to take it but if you have our eyes to another culture that is this is the job of sen to learn how i see it and why i left my job because i tired to do it except maybe at 8 they. Might name of adding to it and i was added up to. This as a 15 year old girl. Being gang raped. His teacher is beating a boy for talking back and class. For the rest of the class once as. Im sure is told 1st being killed by his mother breaking up last. His child sleeps in the streets because her family threw her. Beer. On line billing. Pushes a teenager over the edge. Just because you can see violence against children doesnt mean isnt there make them visible visible help us might violence against children disappear. Its going to get a bit. This is due to the news line from the 1st us president ial debate sets a divisive tone joe biden calls Donald Trumps foremost a national embarrassment. Theres no plan no arguing theres me didnt express a single plan he had about how were going to move forward do you need me realize just how much is at stake up to discussions descended into a shouting match fears and mounting that the election itself will be far from peaceful also coming up
