infrastructure has led to power cut across the country, even in cities in ukraine's far west like live residents have been left in the dark and in freezing temperatures. in the capital key, the deep metro stations are offering shelter from the bombardments will, in ukraine's, nor the fears of renewed russian attacks are growing. these ukrainian soldiers are stationed on the border with belarus and are keeping a watchful eye on their neighbor. bella roost, which is allied with russia, is allowing brutus troops to use it's territory as the deployment area. when the war started in february, russian soldiers tried to advance on the capital. steve, from this region in belarus, ukrainian soldiers and share nea are on high alert. determined not to let the enemy pass through the north, once again in the foreign north of ukraine, there's no song reception. so maps lead us towards the border with bella bruce, the region of charity. he'd fell when russia invaded in february, but in april, ukraine took it back. it those good, thick new cook. this is russian equipment they left behind while retreating on her . yours in law, and there's tons of it in our 4th, we removed it. but if we patrol these positions, this force israel horbeth, and these are like trophies acute, we're very proud of the ukranian armed force locally in this, russian cannon is now being deployed by the ukrainian military. the soldiers here are on constant alert. i don't wish to, so as what i think anything's possible for them was like just because they're losing along other frankie mother. so they might decide to start a new one here, like frog, if that i some of them to metro used to work for the railway in almost 9 months of war. he spent just 2 weeks with his family. he has a lot of anger towards russia. what a funny when, as with boilers of those lime angry, but because they've endorse a civilian death, lucy morality if this were a proper war only, but it would only be soldiers dying little the good. but when a nation celebrates the death of children during air raids, he li, disabled children, even little, that makes me angry at ocean. good night is lhasa, right. maxime from chair and a heave has also been deployed here. well, he's just 20 years old. it wouldn't move his him up with hold. yeah, thanks for those 2. i'm in great physical condition. yeah. i'm a quick learner and it were not split up into age groups here. you and i so we all have one task and on the mainland for dylan, though that is negro. you're already with my comrades are between 18 and 60 years old. i'm not still your, your daughter. we're all equal her purse and that on this ukrainian village along the border is afraid of fresh attacks. the russian military is said to be just 30 kilometers away, but hardly any one wants to leave. good you. yup. or you how can i leave you with that? i was on her. yeah, i raised my own and other people's children hair. yup. or where am i supposed to go to hor? yup. where you do? pensioner. valentina has also spent her entire life in this village, yet she recalls the fearful moments of the attacks early this year when it would bed as nameless nebo law avenue. we were attacked in february, ollie would see a young daughter hadn't us go lord, there was a whole homeboy vehicles along our street. her dog dialysis stood short. we were so scared we couldn't sleep night or day even is but and then at 10 at night they started launching these bright muscles, which at least that he lacked the decade mister, it just showed me the racket that miniature valentine, as children are in the regional capital of charity heave, but she's not thinking about joining them sir. yeah, casual. nice. this is our home at me. we were born here that we're not going anywhere. minnock with the nippy demosthenes. the russians rated the village store when they invaded in february, says anna, a sales clerk here. it pains her to see how neighbouring bella. ruth has sided with a russian military lantern. lucy than me is belittle. we used to be friends with belarus at the minstrel, but now i have a bad impression of them you rosalyn night. they used to go shopping in china heath and now they've made a star elemy switch and here was a buckle coming at the bill. said they were hum a fellow. the men in the forest are preparing for the worst. alexey is a former veterinarian with 3 children and 3 grandchildren, and he's fighting for them in the york are true. sure. but the way north that my grandchildren have already learned what war is, are you looking for a dog before they know about shelling? most of the clubs they've lost friends. my son is also in the military. i'm in the military room. my son in law is there's a lot to lose graham, and you only live once is m a. but if someone's head, it should be me and not my children or grandchildren, new york to him, we do to look at the situation remains tense. russia is conducting air raids on ukraine from bellow, roofs, and likely receiving belushi and tanks and attack could come at any moment. while the war in ukraine has also triggered hardship in other european countries, greece is grappling with rising living costs. and then the capital athens, one neighborhood is pulling together to help those in need. ex are here is a historically socialist area with a strong community spirit. mata lives there and she treasures this sense of solidarity. now she's fighting to keep the spirit alive during times of change. from a birds eye view athens, its archaea neighbourhood looks like any other densely populated district in the greek capital. but when you look closer, you realize it's more diverse, young and alternative than other neighborhoods. and there's greeter solidarity says, matic estrus you, the actor has lived in this liberal neighborhood for 6 years. you can go to the shopper, even if you don't have money to buy the grocery to the coffee shop, to eat sound thing and you know, we know each other. so we can leave here without having sometimes money. that's why more and more people are moving here in these economically tough times, including immigrants and those with limited means. el chef is a neighborhood kitchen that gives meals to people in meet at the mall. this is our message. here is the best cooking together and serving meals in solidarity. yes. oh my, you have the people here cook around 200 meals a day. maybe they, the local authorities who should actually be looking after these people tell the homeless and refugees to come here. but that's no problem. if everyone get something to eat here, nothing. and don't bother anybody's going, we don't receive any subsidies, some hot b. but this building has been squat since 2008, and i'm in a deputy medical video to view, haven't looked all squats and protests up a long history and ex archaea. the spinner colette, the ducky, remembers the student protests against the greek military hunter. when she was a little girl, a major student uprising here at athens, polytechnic was violently shut down in november, 1973. the organs work or the venue. we saw trucks with soldiers driving towards the university bacteria. they were singing marching songs. the corn that we realized it would get bloody and sought safety abroad. mother. we will never forget those crimes x r k is proud of its history. the movement that exists here to day follows and the tradition of the student protests. but for the old rebels and newcomers alike, the area is getting more expensive. the cost of rent is claiming, and the number of holiday apartments for tourists is growing. sometimes violent protests erupt in the area during the night but most residents late matter prefer peaceful protests and ex archeologist don't know. there's currently a lot of attention on the neighborhood central square which is under construction to add a new subway station. a large fence protects the site and there's a round the clock police presence of some of this matter agree. subways are a good thing, but that they could have built the stop elsewhere. she thinks authorities are trying to push locals out of this area would be out there be a fee residents were not involved in the planning. even though this will destroy the only public square in the neighborhood. it's one of the few places where we can come together, where children can play someone medical medicine. we have that we bought mosquito and i've gotten that yet. shakes. 3 years ago, a minister of the conservative government came to this square and announced it would be taken back. alameda luggage says you will return the square to the people we will in the lawlessness. thanks to our party near democrat tio. this will become a normal square again, yet most people in athens however, have no problem with it. sarcasm tentative charm residents from all over come together at the neighborhoods weekly market. i'm about what's wrong with occupying a building that's been vacant for years. if that saves you living on the streets, you're not driving anyone out with a group of locals have gathered in a small park to discuss how the area can be made more appealing, if they want to make the improvements themselves. but police officers watched them suspiciously, very, very developed landon the public open spaces are in danger in athens. and i don't know around the whole country the people of ex archaea want to preserve its unique character. and matto wants to keep promoting a life of solidarity and sustainability even if the neighborhoods feature loops uncertain. ah, the baltic sea is like a 2nd home to over kruger and his grandson. it's where the elder passes his knowledge of fishing to a younger generation, but making a living on the sea isn't what it used to be. that's because pollution and climate change have drastically altered the condition of the water. fish are few and far between. and that's despite attempts to revive the ecosystem, parts of the baltic, sea are suffocating as oxygen levels deplete. to record lows, the cleaning up the see also means paying close attention to what's happening on land. uva kruger has been fishing around the german island of usa dome since he was 5, he was one of more than 200 fishers and his home town of all veg. now is the last one left. but over still takes his grandchildren out to see to pass on his knowledge. but my lord is trish i am making a living from fishing, a luna's tough audience. you don't have much chance with the days fuel prices on monday. if you market the fish yourself, you could just about make it i'd of have our hobbit all the glider shock this year . his grandson niels is the only apprentice fisher here in sas nits on the baltic sea. he wants to make fishing his career just like his father and grandfather, despite the uncertain future and dwindling stars. nozzle, i, it's my kiss me one or 2 boxes per net wouldn't be bad. that's $20.00 to $30.00. if you lose, they don't even get 2 boxes out of the water to day. some of the fish are too small and have to be thrown back. all in all, it's far too little to live from. where did the fish go? there have been strict catch quotas for years. why are stocks not recovering? fisher of it? kruger blames the birds. he says they're taking all the fish. but researchers that the tuning institute in rostock suspect, the lack of oxygen. they set up a research area and the baltic. they wanted to find out how much oxygen there is in the water and how hide the temperature is rise. a few months later, they had the data they needed. program director christopher timmerman says the results are devastating. bunions and y'all directed from june, we were under the critical concentrations and from august there does wasn't any oxygen there. sheila, here that might be an error almost. but you can see that the oxygen concentration is getting lower and lower. apple doesn't fall from the start of august, it's 0 and that doesn't change. massive summer i'll go blooms are the problem. when the algae die, they dropped to the sea bed and are broken down by oxygen consuming bacteria. this creat zones that can no longer support life called dead zones. dash with descent called her being sandwiched between high temperatures near the surface and oxygen depletion. down below by august there's new space. let us kind the oper water is too warm and the deeper water has new oxygen to bomb begun. so which means no more called tell us office and that's exactly what we're hearing from the fishers and old as was before. they are not attaching called anymore here. not just any kind of awesome afer. this phenomenon isn't new. but in recent years there's been more algy and the dead zones are growing. why are the algae growing so intensively living? we joined environmental action germany to investigate near the odor river in brandenburg. there are big farms here for fattening chickens that produce a lot of manure. in bath and misfits you asked the manure is picked up from the farms and spread on to the fields. the plants take up some of it, but not all. that's because in germany they're allowed to use excessive amounts. this excess ends up in the ground water and streams that flow across our landscape via these streams, the many are quickly reaches the odor and then the baltic in the order on may 3rd order in the us. in poland to their farms right on the banks of the odor for years now, heavy fertilization has left phosphorus and nitrogen concentrations too high, both of which are found in manure of just this summer. there was a major fish die out in the odor. ostensibly triggered by excess algae. there's still a thick carpet of red algy on the surface. this is that fun mentioned what we're that's caused by humans. death and humans have to stop it and do better. ther mcechran, it enrages me, this is beth all there is to it the 5th of anguish. that's why you've kruger seeing fewer and fewer fish. how long can that continue? did i tell john? maybe 5 years or 4? if they don't raise the quote, as soon, then no one will be able to continue. either. we just want to maintain this cultural legacy about if the health of the baltic doesn't improve the culture, a legacy family tradition and the entire baltic. fishing industry might soon go under who invented the french fry. both france and belgium claimed to have introduced this guilty pleasure to the world. though fries aren't the healthiest option on the menu, there's no need for a guilty conscience, especially if you order them in the north of france. the region is famous for its crispy golden potatoes and specialties like french fries with mussels. and the fat used for frying the potatoes is also in high demand for early marvell that presents an opportunity to do something good for the planet. she is taking part in a local initiative that turns fat into fuel. with the hope that one day more vehicles will be powered by this salty side dish. french fries are a favorite food in northern france. or a, ye, morel, fries them up by the kilo soon as will be lunchtime, at her kiosk le frita veiling was the alleged is awesome. so uh huh. what this load is ready in 6 minutes. the chop potatoes are cooked twice in the oil to make them extra crispy. or a li uses 100 liters of oil a week. for 2 years she's been done eating her old. leftover oil like recycling are waste is important to us. it's a huge issue with fast food restaurants. this is the project is right here in our community live on that it's good for the environment and creates jobs. so there are only advantages that little like with the google drive. carlo battiata, who works for the non profit companies. jekyll, he comes every 2 or 3 weeks to release kiosk and picks up the old oil. carlos employer mix it into biodiesel. ali broo, the french fry. stanz are the biggest donators of oil in the north. you build it like today, then it school cafeterias. is it on the smoke, we get some from places like hospitals. but people eat less french fries there to see why through august my multiple good trip. carlos takes the old oil directly into the filtration building. there it's put through several cycles and different machines that fills rope potato remnants, other residues and water. michelle miller is set up the non profit company 15 years ago. in the lab, he demonstrates that his fuel isn't just filter cooking oil. a process is used to meet the greasy waste into biodiesel. over failures, you need an oxygen, we create a reaction. i'm mixing alcohol with the oil. do that good. you know, i feel to think that you have a long, it's a natural reaction, but it takes time of a school. now can you allows you to, that's why we add an enzyme to speed up the whole thing acutely a q. and in that way, i'll take good. all the oils completely transformed into biodiesel, home anthea mortgages, in 10 liters of frying oil makes 9 liters of fuel and at the garbage truck depot. in the town of bethune brewing, it goes right into fuel tanks. 3 trucks are already running on biodiesel soon. the whole fleet will do the same model. it's going well and it doesn't stink it works just like it did before. at around one you do. 30 per liter filling up is slightly cheaper than regular diesel, but consumption is about 10 percent higher. the decision to switch fuel was more for environmental than economic reasons. by using frying oil, the town wants to reduce greenhouse gas emissions of the garbage fleet by 90 percent is also not calculated for the entire production chain of the fuel. and we don't have to transport it very far because it's locally produced. looks he does that all reduces greenhouse gases significantly when it comes to particular where 60 percent lower than normal diesel sold or you shoulda, apostrophe measurable. the fact that garbage trucks are allowed to fill up with 100 percent frying all diesel is due to a special exception for such transport fleets. the diesel substitute isn't to crew for use on the streets in france. only small amounts. the lunch time, customers are standing in line and release kiosk, the friars are bubbling. there's a good market for used oil, but or a li decided to denise hers to the biodiesel company. is evidently i give all their companies that will buy old oil. so i could be making a profit from it, glad of it, but the benefit i get is being environmentally and socially responsible and that's worth it. laughing. and those french fries just taste so much better when you've got a clear conscience. the yearning to retreat from the world as something many of us can relate to an ordained age for brother f a me, it's been a reality for nearly 20 years. he renounced modern life to spend his days in solitude in an ancient cave in the mountains of moldova. he gets by without basic necessities such as heating in winter. though ever me as a recluse he relies on his faith to keep his spirit alive. ah, brother, fmi is keen to get home after the daily service in the nearby monastery, and that involves walking about a dozen steps down into this rock formation. this sight served as a refuge for monks even back in medieval times. no sir, are you jo? 2, they say monks have been living here since the 13th century is issue, according to the encyclopedia britannica. it since the 12th century, i thought she could do it. we don't have any archive she, so we just have a rough idea. will you? my truck will brook jamante. no. now he's the only one left living here. for the past 18 years with no water electricity, or seating. but he does have a little church after me used to work as an electrician and had a wife and children. he won't tell us why he gave everything up to live alone. but even as a child during communism, he was fascinated by religion. you'll not be here to go. we did a good gun. i secretly attended church from about 1955 to 1960. they are toys, don't pay it. and it wasn't really allow you did to who did in the church. there was an area with a bard window. duck viola be here to go. i was in 2nd grade or so her nifty garage trip was trip your duck and i remember how i would grab hold of the bars much young trip with him will and not let go until the service was over. when was did nicely with whom i did him, drama, la gregory, shooting, heard indian medulla, ben through noon door, garage miller's manners nowadays. he spends his time studying taxes by candlelight and reciting long prayers management team is to ensure tucker seattle between them . when i pray, it gives me a sort of peace, genius and sometimes pain, but they aren't directly related or closer look like it's ball be not pain and easily prediction what she yeah. oh shiny thomas now and then have the villagers come to ask him to pray for their dad. they pay him with a loaf of bread or some money. but there's also a growing number of tourists interested in the cave monastery to day. some curious folks from japan have come to pay a visit. fmi is happy to show the way you can kind of it. when i came here 18 years ago and people just stumbled n montela. i used to shout at them cool moments. school union appeared to pa, mother, i'm calmer these days and when i speak to them, dumb a domain, my domain will disclose the world comes to him. he wants nothing to do with the world any more. after me traveled a great deal when he was young to day, the field from his narrow balcony in front of his cave is quite enough. as a hermit, what does he know about the world out there? the war in ukraine, for example, is more usually equal. this war is complicated, but it has spiritual causes you to do them. but you know her brother ethan, he doesn't want to say much more about that. the war is painful for the orthodox monk. does he have any counsel for humanity? she b do sing? good. will eczema might be modelled in your desires up her bliss, yet lisa could do what you ought to do rather than what you want. if you believe that you choose. and then maybe you will do the right thing. yeah, the guys about you and it will be beneficial as i said huge. but eugene colo, that's his message from solitude. perhaps he don't have to be too close to the world to give it the right advice. living the simple life in a complex world. well, that's all from as this week and focus on europe. thank you so much for watching. i'll see you again soon. ah, ah ah, ah, with a is the end of the pandemic in
