The number of smaller pubs has halved. This week, the government pledged more than a Million Pounds to Community Action groups, working to rescue or reopen their local pub. Claire marshall reports. Theres no cosy christmas cheer at the rising sun, just a ghost of a pub. It closed nine years ago, the last wisp of the Community Soul of the village of woodcroft, which had already lost its post office and shop. Jerry, in his 80s, has lived here for over a0 years. Anna comes from a family most evenings he used to be found of sami reindeer herders in the sun, but now. Who still make most of my evenings are spent alone, up here. A living off the land. People call in, which is very nice, but theyre not here in the evenings late, its the start of the calving season so you spend quite and anna is checking up on the reindeer with a lot of time on your own, where you could be spending it down the pub a finish elective. Having a game of crib or darts or something. He joined the Community Group a finnish relative. Trying to save it. Remember coming up over the hill and people sitting there . The reindeer are you couldnt wait to park yourcarup about to give birth. And just walk in and have a chat. These are extra feed, pellets needed a decade on, and theyre for the mother reindeer. Still battling the property so that they are in good condition. Developer who owns it. They say they wont give up. We managed to have the pub made an asset of community value. In fact, weve had that done twice. We fought off a few planning applications successfully, eero is the herder and whenever weve had a big battle, of this fence here. We have won it. Hes the husband of my niece. So, were going to drive female reindeer have across the border now antlers during the winter and during the spring to see a pub thats been so that they can chase away saved by the locals. The male ones from good they had to raise a Million Pounds to do it. Food places, places where this is southstoke in somerset and the packhorse inn. The reindeer moss is growing. Trading for more than 150 years, then sold by a big pub company these reindeer are female to a property developer. And they are about to give birth where festive drinks are being brewed, there were nearly office desks, in a couple of days, but more than 500 locals some in a couple of weeks. Chipped in to save it. They are so beautiful. Across the countryside, six pubs a week are closing. 00 03 06,636 2147483051 38 18,032 the team here says the powerful 2147483051 38 18,032 00 00 32,567 pub companies, hungry for profit, reindeer herds roam free in lapland but when its calving time, annas family fences them in to make sure the reindeer get enough food before the calves are born. Over the centuries, sami people have made a living from reindeer herding. Its still a key part of their culture. But now, fewer than 10 of them are involved in it. Reindeer herding is getting much harder. Normally, there would be a lot more snow on the ground in the forest at this time of the year. But the climate is changing and its threatening the familys heard. Usually, winter came in the end of october and now it can be in december. During the winter, there can be really warm periods that get the snow to melt. Winter should be approximately nine months of the year and now its maybe six months. Temperatures in the winter fluctuate a lot more than they did in the past, which is making it more difficult for reindeer to find food. Usually, reindeer can dig through any amount of snow. So whether its two metres, it can smell the reindeer moss and find itand dig it. But when the snow melts, then this food, the basic best food of reindeer, this reindeer moss, freezes, the reindeer cant dig it. They cant even smell it through the ice. Thats starvation then. And starvation means that the reindeer herder has to take extra food. And, of course, then it affects the income of reindeer herder. The number of reindeer herders is decreasing in finland. Over the last 20 years, it has declined by almost half. Now, there are fewer than 5,000. Many find it difficult to cope with the huge amount of unpredictability and reindeer herding posed by the changing climate. You cant rely on what you used to know about winter, how winters are. You cant rely on that you know how nature acts or how animals are, because everything seems to be changing. People that live from the nature, sami people over here, have adapted and adapted over decades, almost over centuries, id say. Life here has always changed. But then we are reaching the point where these changes are not such things that you can add up to. People dont feel safe anymore and that starts to affect their mental health. 100km from annas reindeer, in the far North Eastern corner of finland, close to the russian border, heini lives in a very remote house. The nearest supermarket is 90km away. Most sami people in northern lapland live in places like this and they are very much connected to their natural environment. We built this house ourselves and i think log house itself is eco friendly. We heat the house with wood, but we do have Running Water and electricity, like in any other house. We are no eco warriors, we are just ordinary people who wants to do our best. In early spring, heini and herfamily drink birchjuice. She usually starts tapping the trees in may. But this year, for the first time, the juice was ready in april. We get winter very late. It can be december that we get permanent snow. For instance, this february, spring comes very early so we have shorter winters. Here are photos of my family. Here are my grandmothers. And here is my great grandfather. He is ice fishing here. He is doing traditional ice fishing. Heini is an artisan. She makes a living by teaching traditional sami handicrafts. What im making here is a saamcic. Its a married womens hat. When women get married, it gets. She will have this crown for herself. It is as a crown. The saamcic is the most difficult handicraft that i ever tried, and this is truly, truly very difficult handicraft. Traditionally, every woman did handicrafts, but not this one, because this was special. Only some handicraft masters were doing this. Heini uses reindeer skin to make shoes. But more rain in the summer has affected her ability to produce them. Here are my latest. Ijust made this ready, these we were waiting for years in our shed for me to make these ready. This, i made these for myself. Theyre a little more fancy. The reindeerfur shoes. And these are already too small for my children. Here is how we do it. We just we skin the reindeer legs. And then wejust put them to dry like this. And this is how it should be. But here, we can see moulded ones. It tells us that the summers are more wet than those are used to be. Five hours drive to the west, close to the norwegian and swedish borders, alen is a northern sami handicraft master. She is 84 years old and shes visiting her niece to make traditional sami clothes with her. Climate change is damaging traditional sami livelihoods. But thats not the only threat. As temperatures rise and the sea ice melts, theres now the opportunity for a shipping route to open through the arctic. And plans are being developed for a railway to be built across lapland, threatening to cut through reindeer herding territory. Finlands ministry of transport favours the route from rovaniemi, the capital of finnish lapland, along the shore of lake inari, and terminating in kirkenes in norway. Supporters say the railway will boost laplands economy, but the finnish government says no decision has been made on the construction of the railway or its routeing. But the Sami Parliament is fiercely opposed to the plans. An Arctic Railway through rovaniemi to kirkenes, through our very heartlands of three different sami language groups in finland would be such infrastructure which will be the end to the sami culture. We live from the nature and it will cut the reindeer grazing areas into two. There will be more forest logging, for example. It will be transporting oil and gas products from norway and russia. It will bring the Mining Industry to the sami homeland area in finland. Its the Worst Nightmare we are facing at the moment, a concrete one. Of course, Climate Change is another one. But its not as concrete as the Arctic Railway. Heini, the handicrafter, who lives close to the russian border, has found out that a proposal for the Arctic Railway has been included in the Development Plan for finnish lapland. Those plans i have seen. So it seems like it would go straight through our house. And my opinion is it would be a genocide. If the plans for the railway are approved, its likely that heini would be forced to move. Its a painful reminder of the past. Heini is a skolt sami. Many of her people were forced leave their ancestral homes in russia and resettle in finland in 1944. All these kind of mining plans are our big nightmare here. Yeah, were very afraid of those. That is why skolt samis had to move after the second world war. Nazis did want to have this nickel mining in petsamo. We are only few. In finland skolt samis are around 600. And everyone has kind of tried to work to maintain the culture, keep the language alive. And if we have to do fight against this kind of international greed it takes too much of our time and energy away. Everything is only measured by money. But how can you put a price tag for our culture . Back in inari, anna is getting ready to go ice fishing. We are trying to put the last hooks in. Anna does fishing all year round. And she takes great pride in supplying her family and friends with fresh fish. Now the bait is in the hook. So the weight takes the bait down there in a good depth and this is how it stays. The stick stays there because this is holding or however big pike there will be. And then, well, tomorrow morning i will come and check if there is movement in there. 20 years ago, the lake would freeze over by the end of october. Last year, anna had to wait until the middle of december before she could to go on the ice. And the ice starts melting earlier than it used to in the spring, making it increasingly dangerous to fish. The new conditions, of course, the people need to learn again to get to know them. So some people drown when learning. And thats, of course, a tragedy every time it happens. Sami people are the people of winter. If the winter disappears it would be really strange, really hard to continue on the cycle of the year that doesnt have the real cycle. If the fishermen will adapt, then maybe the fish wont adapt to warming waters. So my biggest fear is that fish will disappear. 0ne fall, one winter the nets will start being empty. Anna believes that reindeer herding and fishing wouldnt survive if the Arctic Railway is built and new mines open up in the area. What is the reason for these building plans . It is the greed of people, Big Companies want to give more profits to their shareholders. We need to be and we have to be active in this fight to save our world, to save our reindeers, to save our clean Drinking Water and where the fish can live and this. Itisa. Its a trade of, like, both ways. Nature gives if we give back. We cant just take. Will Climate Change destroy the forests and the lakes in europes last great wilderness . Willa new Industrial Railway wipe out sami culture or will it bring jobs and an economic boom to northern lapland . We dont know. For now, the questions remain unanswered. It is finally Christmas Eve so what does the weather have in store . A little bit of a mixture. Most of us have a chance of seeing some rain but hopefully a little brighter as the day goes on. For the south west of england and wales, showers could turn heavy and thundery. Low pressure is the driver full the front opens more persistent rail the front opens more persistent rain into northern england. Things start to brighten a little and it will become more showery as the hours go by and heavy showers cloud into the south west. Windy for the south as well, light winds for scotland and the showers fewer and further between. Double figures for south wales and southern england. If you are heading out later on on Christmas Eve, things become quieter, the wind in the south eases and the showers clear. A few push to the north west of scotland and a little wintry across the highlands. Temperatures start to fall away. A frosty start to Christmas Day across scotland and a patchy frost elsewhere. Temperatures in towns and cities following a three or four degrees. The reason it becomes quieter and chillier, a ridge of High Pressure in time for Christmas Day bringing us overall one of the quietest days in terms of whether that we have seen for a month. Fog to start the day across north wales and the north west of england, that could take until the middle of the data clear. A slim chance of a shower for scotland but overall a lot of fine weather with sunny spells and temperatures around average, 6 9 degrees. However, that ridge of High Pressure short lived. 0n boxing day we open the doors to the atlantic again and enrols an area of strengthening the wind and bringing heavy rain. Rain will push into all parts through the day, some snow, transiently across the pennines and then perhaps some snow sticking across the high ground of the highlands. Brighter in the south and milder later in the day with heavy showers heading into the south west. One of these fronts look like they will be ripped away by the end of the week as High Pressure tries to build, but were just left with this front wriggling across scotland and Northern Ireland as we look towards the weekend. For england and wales, things tend to settle down in the outlook, fine weather to come with bright and sunny spells, occasional showers for scotland. Welcome to bbc news im mike embley.
