So they can plant crops and. Climate change. Right. Now if you want to. Start. A low and a warm welcome to focus on europe thanks for joining us traces of the holocaust horrors are still being on earth nearly eighty years later well this is especially true in Eastern Europe where hitlers troops murdered millions of jews soldiers and breast belarus have recently exuma the remains of jewish people murdered by the nazis more than one thousand Men Women And Children are believed to have been
executed here in one Nine Hundred Forty Two well its a history that haunts the city as its residents struggle to reconcile with the Past Today Jewish Life and bella bruce has been largely forgotten its only synagogue was turned into a Movie Theater by the soviets for decades historian irina sky has been fighting to keep the victims legacy alive she believes that the only way to heal the wounds is to commemorating documenting the atrocities in the post soviet country its proving to be a lonely pursuit. The scars of the past have reopened here. At a Construction Site right in the center of town the Belorussian Army has dug up human bones jewelry and shoes these are the remains of people who lived here murdered by the nazis nearly eighty years ago the find has shaken historian irina
lover of sky she grew up in this area herself and wants to see the mass grave with her own eyes an acquaintance of hers has a direct view of the site from her window. Two sisters youre going to get from the people who are lying here were killed because they were of a certain ethnicity that. This that the city it was segregation it was the people were waited out and divided into categories. And jews were more than just a category in brest before World War Two they made up more than half the population here but in one Nine Hundred Forty One the nazis drove them into a ghetto in the city center now their remains are likely hidden beneath the surface everywhere this Isnt The First Time that construction here has exposed such horrors an estimated Thirty Four Thousand jews were killed in and around rest theres a memorial just one street over from the Construction Site irena was glad to see
people have been leaving wreaths at the Memorial Palladium in the city you know how many of the citys population was killed within just a few days shot. Every second person can you imagine that. What it says to get that its. The plan is to build luxury apartment buildings one square meter sells for nearly twice the average market price in brest the Construction Company plans to make the area a gated community the city Authorities Say the foundations of the building wont touch the mass graves and it will be marked with a Memorial Plaque at the your private little well tended area in the center is what the city needs its the right thing for this spot there used to be unsightly houses here when it should be tidy and beautiful. But irena thinks nothing here can be tidy and beautiful since the discovery of the mass grave a special battalion of the Belorussian Army has been in charge of the excavations theyve found the remains of over
a thousand people Men Women And Children. Not to overlook any of the remains that is important for all and for the people of the roots of. The site is currently closed to the public including two local historian irina lover of sky shes considered a member of the opposition in bella ruse long known as europes last dictatorship twenty years ago her critical views and constant questions got her pushed out of a University Teaching job. That we would. But that hasnt prevented her from petitioning to stop the Building Work on this spot irena says there should be a Memorial Park here not an apartment complex. She wants her country to face its past. People shouldnt be allowed to live on the spot of a mass execution that pain continues to exist and will not give us peace until we learn to respect history. And what happens here from which to preserve. That the Jewish Community in brightest is getting together for it theyve rented a few rooms in a back street basement there hasnt been a synagogue here since soviet times. The head of the Community Regina symon unco has taken it upon herself to set up a small museum about the citys jewish history including the holocaust. Symon and co once the newly found jewish victims to be read buried at a cemetery and she wants their memory to be honored an obligation she thinks lies squarely with the city even is god should ensure you girls and the Jewish Community doesnt owe the city anything this mass grave is everyones responsibility the jews who were shot here were prisoners in the ghetto demands that they were also citizens of breast plain and simple no matter what ethnicity they were they were residents of the city people who helped to build the city it is because that is truly at the border irina agrees for her book about the history of breast she maps
out jewish areas of the city that no longer exist the debate about the remains has deeply affected her yet visual club of see all these historical layers the different era us as a whole its just like with a person who is that the if you dont heal a disease completely the symptoms will come back into shape its the same thing in a society that. Some portion but irinas petition doesnt seem to have had much of an effect. Her acquaintance alina says that Building Work has continued here consistently despite the find. Its almost as if the decision to build luxury apartments instead of healing old wounds was made long ago. Well the excavations have been officially completed and construction is now underway Officials Say the site will remain accessible to the public. These women are celebrating and thats because turkeys recent elections brought heavy losses for
president rich up tired. His ruling a. K. Party last may oral seats in istanbul and diyarbakir cities seen as symbolically important well the party is now challenging the results which were a key test for the president s popularity some are fed up with turkeys weak economy and heir to once conservative views especially women like fatima she has experienced oppression she fled from her husband and has finally found her Freedom And Independence at a very special market back here. This crate of apples weighs fifteen kilos but fatma is used to carrying heavy loads shes a single mother of three and she needs to make a living. At least its sunny and dry today. We have to begin very early so on days when its cold and rainy its tough leaving the warmth
of your home. Fatma works at a very particular kind of market all the stands here are tended by women many are former victims of Domestic Violence including fatima her exhusband used to beat her four years ago she must have the courage to leave him. Working at the weekly market has helped her become financially independent and thats the whole point explains how. She set up the womens market a few years ago. We tell each other our stories while we work and talk about how we responded to that we draw strength from that. And the women here are strong if they werent they wouldnt be here at this market in the middle of winter while also taking care of their families today. Like in many other parts of turkey india out of ikea its relatively unusual to see women working especially in sectors that are traditionally male domains which in Eastern Turkey definitely
includes marketplaces. Also looks after her three daughters who are still asleep when the thirty eight year old gets up at five in the morning they live in a one bedroom apartment its the best fatma can afford it but its a great improvement on her previous life. At some point i stopped being afraid when he hit me but the worst was when he took his anger out on the children. There were times when theyd crawl into a Corner Trembling with fear. Eventually id had it i knew We Couldnt Go On like that because thats what i regret most is that i didnt get us out of the situation earlier. Today fatima is visiting a wholesale market to buy Fresh Produce she doesnt enjoy these trips its a men only zone and they dont mince their words. Some of the vendors were
initially reluctant to do business with a woman or demanded higher prices than they charged men. To call the number i thought i would ask us what we were doing there and tell us to go home and look after our children. Is there but we just told ourselves women can go wherever they want we can do whatever work we want to do just. That we can all that first we didnt think it was right. This market is a place where men work of the how many women do you see here or to love films with the customers are meant to be. Missed and but then we started to see from their Point Of View if you go all the women have a story to tell and they all have families they need to take care of. The wholesaler says that now most of the men have gotten used to seeing women working here other than he praises fatima and says shes a good person and that she can haggle almost as well as a man. Of the market where fatima works has become
a popular choice among locals. Everything is very clean here. Its a nice market and above all its quiet female vendors treat us very respectfully if id even say theyre much nicer than the male vendors. Doubts she would have got back on her feet as soon as she did without the job here spending time with other women means a lot to her too and the physically demanding work is enough to distract her from dwelling too much on the past. I love my work. But of mustangs exhausting she thought id never give it up. And you know what but i feel his share i can say this is my markets down and no one is telling me what to do no one is interfering. You know the media. As the day draws to a close calls out Bargain Prices to attract
a last round of customers she says thats one tactic she learned from and. Could you imagine growing vegetables in this climate its cold windy and dark for months on end far up north in norway in spitsbergen on the island of fall bart it is remote and paved with ice where the extreme conditions make it a paradise for researchers and adventurers like Benjamin Vid Mark He left the sunny u. S. State of florida many years ago and found a new hole in the arctic it brought the tropical climate with him and some pioneering ideas is mission to boldly grow where no one has grown before. Finally a little light every day in winter the darkness here stretches on for months its minus twenty five degrees celsius and the ground is permafrost there are more polar bears than humans on spitsbergen. But one of those humans benjamin did mark grose
herbs and vegetables here a pioneering idea. This one i think looks good too and then this one three for the fourth one is on the t. V. Then maher and his employee harvest the crops grown in the lab as he calls this room. It has an almost tropical climate in the midst of a frozen wilderness and hes planted cress basal and other plants that if you see that weve got the human now off to remove the tower and. Yeah because we lift it from twenty to forty five yes definitely. Theyre learning to farm in these extremes by Trial And Error theres no experience to draw on then mark came up with the idea because he was desperate for Fresh Produce one day he even hopes to grow some tomatoes they would be the northernmost crop of them on earth. Its pitch black here by three in the Afternoon Benjamin is used to that by now. Hes
originally from florida but ten years ago the ships cook washed up on the shores of the icy no beach in island during the dark season but so how do we cope with the light season as best a challenge but season is very relaxed dont have to do too much but when the light comes. We get very busy and you have to run all of the time so the challenge is you dont know how to shut it off but for me the dark season is just taking you through. Whether dark or light vid mars business is booming hes barely able to keep up with demand and capacities are limited spitzbergen is located nearly a thousand kilometers north of the next populated settlement practically everything has to be flown in including produce this other stuff but thats expensive and bad for the environment some greens very. Good maher is trying to show that there
are other options. Talk to other ships also on the recent. This is probably good to. Give in to check it out. Its amazing to have this treasure trove. Given back then jim and collects the leftover Plant Material for composting thank you everything you should take care you because yes thank you. This isnt a u. F. O. Its the gardeners greenhouse in the darkness of the polar night its twenty below in here but when spring brings back the light itll turn lush and green we have some days you know over the midnight sun theres sun in theory twenty four hours a day so it just moves around in the sky and it can get like twenty five thirty degrees in here i really like to do some root vegetables carrots potatoes would be nice if the greenhouse and its builders have achieved a certain notoriety hello my name is benjamin vin mar and doing this tour with you
today we nearly every day he has a lot of curious visitors. I didnt started to save the world i didnt start it too i just said you know i wanted to have the freshest food possible. And hardly any of the guests leave without sampling it because nothing is as tasty as reindeer with a side of Mashed Potato and vegetables although this time only the basal has come from bit more garden just and it includes the american is a big fan of his adopted home. Im here with my family and we really love it here and its like we always want to go away but then soon as we go away we all miss it so. So then we run back here. German student on a ketzel helps out with planting in the garden shes a little more critical of the settlement in the far north. Its been physically stem i noticed its back kind of person really i Dont See Spitzbergen as a place where people should be living because its gone to such an extreme climate
and its so im sustainable to live here but there will never come a time when people dont live here so i think its a very good idea to try growing your own plants here. But harbaugh says its about more than just having fresh vegetables on spitsbergen. This technique that we developed here can be used to grow food in its inner city it can be used to grow food on different islands so it has many. Applications to other places as well so if we can do it here it can be done anywhere this is the most challenging place to do it. Benjamin did more believe that if his ideas can take root in spitsbergen they could grow practically anywhere. Traffic in paris if you want to enjoy the sights of the french capital you must contend with crowded streets so is there a better way to get around the City Electric scooters have taken paris by storm offering a convenient and eco friendly form of travel but scooters are causing major headaches
for the residents. Pat. Barrett stance never been so easy to glide along the river sand or through the streets of paris. Electric scooters have taken over the french capital in recent months there is. No man to stall for twenty who owns a Designer Store is also a big fan he uses a scooter to run errands and go to appointments he says its more ecological and cheaper than other forms of transport. He uses a mobile app to find out where there is a free scooter. Then all he has to do is scam the coach and off he goes. If it is fun im more flexible i can go on the sidewalk or on the street i feel a bit like a child again but if youre as good. And the faster the better. Rigid
its hard to keep up on a bike there foster. There are now eight rival Companies Providing east scooters for hire in paris theyre particularly popular with tourists it makes sightseeing easier so. We saw a lot but to be a theme we scooted along the river and saw the eiffel tower we were doing twenty six Kilometers Per Hour on the phone to me say thats nice. But it can be dangerous if youre not a pro and some users soup up their scooters and then let the speed go to their heads. This taxi driver filmed an east scooter on the Highway Zooming along at over eighty five Kilometers Per Hour that can potentially be life threatening. Some motorcyclists are also unhappy about the invasion of east scooters in an already very busy territory. They have to when you go to put in it generally e. Scooter writers are unfamiliar with the traffic rules they dont know where theyre allowed to ride whether theyre allowed to ride in the bus lane line. That person over there you go to but then shouldnt they be required to wear helmets in protective gear its quite dangerous yes. But those who are most unhappy are the pedestrians who are sick of east scooters taking over the pavements whether theyre not parked properly or being ridden east scooters are an extra danger that pedestrians have to watch out for from any direction. Pushing all you could do to help the other day i was close to the opera and i wanted to cross the street the light was green for pedestrians so i could go then this scooter came speeding along out of nowhere superfast if it had hit me it would have been quite nasty as if youre. The city or thor it is were originally quite liberal towards the east scooters but now theyre clamping down Scooter Firms will have to register and agree to ensure that users behave in
a civilised and responsible way. Commiserate for riding on the pavements is not an out in the show is going to actively pursue those who are putting pedestrians at risk in this way. And were going to put a stop to this state park in public spaces which hinders pedestrians from moving freebee on the sidewalks sort of approach. But no one really knows what other rules there should follow. His stuff has a relaxed lets Say Faire Attitude about them. I think of all its true that people write on scooters in a crazy way but motorbikes cars bikes are all crazy in paris everyones dangerous in paris thats the problem we dont work hard at work. But its a problem that christophe thinks will solve itself one can always count on provisions to find creative ways of dealing with their complex traffic system. Here in the beautiful mountains of switzerland the countrys most famous export is created the emma told valley is home to healthy cows their milk and all kinds of cheeses including you guessed it m. And taller its been made here for centuries and now the traditional recipe is getting a modern make over shes producer b. At a vampire has found a way to infuse it with soul. The amman valley or amman tunnel is where switzerlands best known cheese comes from and one of the producers here wants to make his product even better. Theyre fun flair is a veterinarian and a cheese maker whos looking to revolutionize the world of cheese. Intolerance two and a half years old microorganisms are working on it it mostly bacteria. And its
amazing actually that theyre able to affect its aroma all the way down to the very heart of the cheese but this case has this in the nine.

Then on the when you put your hand on the wheel of cheese and feel the sound waves move through it its hard to believe it wouldnt have some kind of effect on the. Bump lose experiment is getting a little help from students at the University Of The Arts in barron. For more than six months theyll serenade his cheeses with a range of beats and sounds including rock songs by led zeppelin mozarts Opera The Magic Flute techno or hip hop. They want to see that is to surround. Sound waves will pass through the wheels of cheese causing them to vibrate in different ways depending on the music hip hop and hip hop has lots of bass in it the classical pieces are very dynamic with quite sections but very loud ones too nice enough c. Loud so does the cheese feel any different after half a year of acoustic your radiation. I didnt feel a difference with the rocknroll one but i hope ill be able to taste it to make it the whole. Jury made up of cooks and artists is judging the results of the experiments they quickly reach an. Quizzical conclusion. There are differences on the cd. According to the experts here hiphop brought the best results. Im pretty surprised by the results my guess is that the constant beats and intensity of hip hop has some kind of effect on the cheese as it ripens the stuff across in the case of provoked. What do the other judges think. I thought that the
rock music cheese tasted best i guess because it was strongest it had a rock n roll flavor and one cleft accent that he was on its a Hip Hop Cheese its very soft and slightly sweet stuff and just in series. One player is happy that the Hip Hop Cheese got such rave reviews tying his product to the musical genre could make the Younger Generation interested. Doesnt there are many young people out there whove never given a Second Thought to Em Intolerant hard cheese unpasteurized cheese things like that almost and on the sets which is why labels like hip hop or techno m.
