Make up your own mind. Playing. W. Made for minds. This week on moral stories. Its. Lessons from the convent of. Turkey waiting for tourists but we begin in russia rocked the beginning of october journalist irene a subpoena set yourself on fire and later died from her injuries the Russian Federation is responsible for my death is the message she left the country spoke. Of death that sent shock waves through the city and through russia initially not good at hundreds of mourners came out to remember the journalist 18 us live in the who lit herself on fire here last week. Even us live in equals freedom of speech this sign reads. And at her Public Memorial Service anyone who wanted could say a few words in the journalists. Sorry that we didnt save you didnt keep you safe. You know worked with us live in a she remembers her colleague as being fiercely independent despite working in a country where Media Censorship is commonplace. Its hard to approach the authorities and ask questions now but youre always asked she asked uncomfortable questions you couldnt please her she upset p. R. Officers because she didnt try to safeguard anyones reputation she always collected the facts to reveal a full picture of the very corruption and Human Rights Violations but. Her supporters say slavin i was under near constant pressure by the authorities she had to pay several fines for her work at the independent media outlet she founded and just before her selfimmolation Security Forces searched her home over a case against opposition activists. Say said his home was searched on the same day the opposition politician things the authorities wanted to silence in us live in the. I think she definitely meant her death to be a political act a final political act it was a final attempt to get through to people she seems to felt that the classical tools she had a media outlet her Facebook Page that wasnt enough for her they didnt get her the reaction she wanted. The governor of the region has expressed his condolences 1st love in those death. And promised a full investigation into its circumstances. Meanwhile the bench where she let herself on fire outside a Police Building has become an improvised memorial to the independent journalist. Its it was good if the worst hit countries at the beginning of the corona virus pandemic. While infections there are increasing and the government and citizens have learned hard lessons from the traumatic situation earlier in the year. She lifts through the spanish flu the 2 world wars and now she survived covert 1940 money greenie is 108 years old during the 1st wave of the coronavirus and its only she watched many friends in her nursing home die well. You know we have been through so many things in my life and im still here it looks as if jesus christ doesnt want me. Care homes were hard hits in the early stages of the pandemic when midland was at the epicenter of the outbreak more than half of the 33000 lives lost to cover it 19 in its elite weather here in the city and the surrounding lumberville region. Vanda gutty a volunteer with the white cross provided Emergency Support during the most acute stage of the crisis she captured some impressions of the chaos on her phone relieved. A very traumatic experience like a tsunami something that in the moment drives changes completely everything so from that moment that we change our out of the air we are our approach to the life people are legally obliged to wear masks in all crowded places from 6 pm to 6 am and many also keep theirs on during the day another reason infection rates are rising slowly is the long term effect of italys harsh lockdown which kept people confined to their homes for months on end. Professor maria retouches mando says theres no magic formula for other countries to follow italy is not perfect and it certainly cant go it alone i think it is an important. Thing. To think out of the european to have this same of protocol all therapy the same. Exchange of experiences the same acquired counting not just the localizer the bastard just the motto you know european a strategy to face a divider says the professor also has high hopes for a rep its testing scheme the government plans to roll out in schools thats good news for material and his sister the tortilla they started class only 2 weeks ago and dont want to go back to homeschooling you. See 1st that i hope we can soon take off the mosques and get a bit closer to each other without having to keep our distance all the time. Since that isnt that it stands. That. This cemetery is a bitter reminder of my last collective trauma the 128 people laid to rest here where brought here from overcrowded hospitals and morgues public support for ongoing restriction remains high many now fear the approaching winter. In turkey neck and other countries the coronavirus pandemic has greatly hindered freedom of movement and traveling the countrys Tourism Industry is suffering as a result which includes istanbul. At 1st glance the stumble looks as lively as it did before the coronavirus crisis. Is. But if you talk to shopkeepers in the touristy areas youll only hear complaints there are still hardly any foreign visitors and the frustration is growing by the day. We hear from morning till evening but we sell very little sometimes just one souvenir a day for. All of us have debts we arent selling anything we cant pay our rent so its a lost season utterly lost because even Luxury Hotels like the para perilous are in crisis mode because of the pandemic. The building is one of the stumbles landmarks and manager john carroll proudly shows me how beautiful it is the hotel was billed 130 years ago for the passengers of the legendary Orient Express today guests are staying in rooms once graced by emperor as president s and movie stars. Or Agatha Christie who wrote crime novels here. At the moment so most of the 115. 00 rooms of disinfected and fans and. 21000. 00 was a very successful year for. It was the changing between 7 the person to a 95 per cent at the start of 2000 the. Pandemic. First. Person. 0 the situation has been particularly dramatic on the turkish riviera and tell us long beach is deserted for months most hotels closed. Since early august holiday makers have been returning mainly from russia because the government there is allowing flights to techie again. Some. Action has returned to intel yes pools and to towel nurse now hope they can extend a Summer Season far into autumn. At the para palace they also hope for better times the hotel survived 2 world wars it might also survive in demick. But everyone here knows it will take time before tourists come back in large numbers and marvel at the sunset over eastern ball from the terrace of the para palace. German relief occasionally took place 30 years ago afterward many people left east to me to find a brick in the well few western half of the country but their new gradually returning to more remote areas. A small town in an idyllic lakeside setting pen kuhn in the far north east is marking the 30th anniversary of the end of communist east germany on october the 3rd a Public Holiday either before and its something to celebrate im glad i experienced it then and that i can live like i do today things are much better now future. D. W. Last reported from paying khun 13 years ago at that time young women were leading the d. Population of the region leaving the older men behind the women always wanted to move west. Or hamburg someone like that. Definitely going yes im out of here. Its rubbish here. Paying khun and the whole of the northeast seemed then to be in terminal decline. Today it appears at 1st that most of the residents are still men but in fact there are young women with children living here as well the mass says theres no more talk of the town dying on its feet but is it and as always yeah more things have changed young families are moving here from berlin and the stettin area. Some of polish families bringing a breath of fresh air to our town or. Life in pen can began to improve in 2007 when the border opened between poland and germany paying khun is not far from the polish city of state teen a lot has changed since then the school was on the verge of closing but is now thriving thanks to its polish pupils new homes are being built and more are planned people can also grow old here young people are moving to paying khun to work as carers in this retirement home not everything in pink is perfect ironically a building called unity house is an i saw it will soon be converted into a Medical Center other buildings are empty the last 2 shops in the Market Square have closed and you wont find anything to eat and drink but paying coon is not on its last legs there are just as many women as men again here and their numbers are growing.

Albanias core of mountains are absolutely stunning but for many young people that thats not enough. Planting trees and not just a few but hundreds of thousands of them we meets an environmental activist in russia. And increasing numbers of migrants are willing to attempt the illegal and very risky crossing from from to britain. Most people who flee their homes do so out of utter desperation war violence human rights abuses hunger and the effects of the Climate Crisis are often behind displacement every year tens of thousands of people try to reach europe roups often change and new ones are added instead of leaving from living. Many now set out from tunisia on a dangerous journey across the mediterranean or from lebanon to e. U. Member state cyprus. At the end of 2019 there were around 6600000 refugees in europe but landing on european soil marks the start of a new odyssey those who want to reach the United Kingdom face an illegal and potentially deadly crossing over the channel estimates suggest that so far this year 7000 people have managed to use. Crossing the English Channel in rubber dinghies its a journey that more migrants are making than ever before the British Government is getting tough control of u. K. Borders was one of the conservatives biggest breaks it promises but the crossings continue so now the Royal Air Force and navy have been called in. Nazir from sudan is not deterred. The government doesnt want a new pupil for the country but the country is a big. Loser was here has come to color way to organize his crossing the northern French Quarter has been an unofficial transit come for years infrastructure is poor these are some images of what everyday life looks like here a tent city by the side of the road little electricity and hardly any access to water or food. Regular police checks. There are no state member still it is for migrants and refugees in a warehouse in color a british and french n. G. O. S are working side by side to provide Bare Necessities many here feel and. By the British Government and its interior minister. I feel really ashamed a lot of the time like this idea for a pretty to tell that theres no reason for people to come to the cave because france is a country it just shows so much ignorance about what its like for people here. And one there has also been working in cali for years hes concerned because Living Conditions here are getting worse and worse. At this state is afraid that a 2nd shadow city could arise here like in 2016 is trying to wear people down to put it as a liberal policy to stop people wanting to stay here the president asked. Back in 2016 huge nonofficial camp here was dubbed the jungle some 8000 people mainly unregistered migrants and refugees lived on waste ground close to the very port most wanted to get in some were housed in converted shipping containers provided by the french government. The jungle is now gone and the police make sure that another doesnt spring up every 48 hours they conduct a raid regularly confiscating tents and personal belongings with a clear message youre not welcome here. Every Morning Glory big so may comes here to record their fictions keen to bring attention to Human Rights Violations and the difficulty of the situation. He views the footage in his own makeshift office. Of the tsunami arriving you can see people are by shouting and. Pushing out later they were kicking out hands with some other day i believe. Its all a strategy ordered from on high by a government thats been unable to come up with a solution to callys migrant problem the state seems to not want to have people visible to the rest of color. Discussion teams have been told that youre not allowed to destroy in the central time going to sweden another place where no us lives and this is just the general theme of color like just trying to move people away from going up and running any kind of solution or any kind of support which is make them invisible to the rest of the population. They want to drive away the migrants and refugees but they cant portable toilets have been set up on traffic roundabouts people now congregating parks in parking lots the only way to escape from this is by crossing the English Channel in small boats. Is also determined to try. This board like people you people in europe use as a door to enjoy yourself in what we used to you kate so its like some people use the machines are just. Around and some people they have more talk so from here to look at about 34 kilometer it takes about 3 hours to the hour and how it people use a hand it takes about 10 hours to live an hour. Most boat set off in the Early Morning keeping the entire area under surveillance is practically impossible. Because the afghans like you and we have 45 kilometers to oversee the disposal of when you consider all the spots on the coastline itself with all its cliffs that makes it difficult to silt on the folly of this summer there were search and rescue missions practically every day being wished channel is one of the busiest shipping routes in the world. Because the channel is a motorway and its be really dangerous driving on the motorway with kickstarter its same thing here. Nonetheless hundreds try their luck every day they have nothing to loose as lizzie. A migrant bridge has sprung up in western europe. That britain and france want to shut down by all means. These devastating images have become in our minds wild fires on an almost apocalyptic scale have become every day events australia california russia brazil ah planet is going up in flames whatever the Climate Change deniers say we have a crisis on our hands. Our reporter Tatiana Kundra 10 hell and 10 team went to russia where they met a woman whos made it lifes work to plant for the future. Shes replenishing the forests and the most that. What looks like random bunches of greenery are in fact pine tree saplings thousands of them already for planting marianna monty on new explains how its done its very simple you place the sapling in the hole then fill that with earth and check the saplings firmly better then check once more that it cant be pulled out yet. 8000 saplings are due to be planted today here on the outskirts of moscow marianna munteanu asked for help online and an army of volunteers has responded she regularly invites members of the public to help or. Russias forests have taken quite a beating in recent years huge areas have been devastated by wildfires pests like bark beetles pose a further challenge russia has more forest than any other country trees cover nearly half of this vast land. I think doing this since 2010 there were terrible wildfires back then throughout the whole of russia i saw a picture of huge wellestablished trees being blown across the fields by the wind they were breaking off like matchsticks marianna munchie onil studied economics and initially worked in finance but she quit her job to devote all her attention to reforestation you can change the world one small step at a time and people will pull together for a good cause. Everybody here wants to help people become more aware of nature again and to encourage them to do their bit to protect the environment. I want our planet to be as intact as possible so that we have healthy air to breathe and leave our children and grandchildren an environment in which they can live well our environment is sick i dont want to inflict further injuries on the natural world. 7 years ago marianna maggio moved to moscow to build up her own Environmental Organization but shes still not a lover of the city her childhood in the countryside very much shaped to she is. But i love nature i love the forest as a child i always spent the summers with my grandmother in the village. Thats her house right next to the forest we would go out several times a week picking berries or mushrooms or back in her moscow apartment shes able to relax after all the hard work but she never loses sight of her goal. To change in my earth and this is my mission in life i want to achieve great things for the benefit of society of the planet and nature the planet looked at ord good afternoon my name is mario hometown now and im president of the russian climate fund. Was the good. Work has long since expanded beyond planting trees together with other environmental activists she puts out her own podcast big to get the message out to more people but shes also developed a mobile game app called plant the forest the aim is to promote interest in the well being of trees income from the app goes to plant new saplings. New plenty more on the game or has to collect points which then allow him to plant trees the idea is to inspire users so that they stop being indifferent towards our trees and so that they want to help with reforestation. With no going. Back to the forest on the outskirts of moscow its time for lunch in the past 10 years marianna and her helpers have planted more than a 1000000 tree thats the equivalent of around 1300 soccer fields a large number of volunteers of all ages have helped to make it possible last year she was selected by the United Nations for the young champion of the earth award right nearby she shows us some other young trees from her project that have had a chance to get established. This tree was planted just 7 years ago and as you can see its already bigger than me soon and this area should once again be a Strong Healthy forest hopefully Strong Enough to withstand all the challenges of the future. Many people who live here are also deeply connected to nature these are the core of mountains in east in albania life here is calm quiet traditional but many young people crave more theyre leaving in droves heading to cities and even abroad but is there a way to make them want to stay. On lama takes lots of photos the mountains of northeastern albania are so beautiful he works for p p n e a the countrys largest environmental n. G. O. S. He promotes Sustainable Farming practices for the sake both of nature and local people so they can make a decent living and choose not to leave this is the couric nick must see. That its what zia keshi has a Market Garden he grows fruit his operation could inspire others to follow suit especially young people he cultivates berries traditionally people gathered wild ones in the mountains. And if there are lets say. Your lama says such Market Gardens could be a fruitful source of income for more families around here. Ok she worked for several years in italy he saved up some money came home and began farming. Some of his work the more began she was almost he started with a roni of berries 5 years ago before branching out. His venture is proving to be a success. Was in july his product was certified as organic by an agency in germany. And thats something hes very proud of you know he said the worst. Would be hell be a good thing going to be undergoing the part of the film for the sick with the i dont use fertilizer everything is just the same as up in the mountains the bacteria in the soil about the humans they make the plants strong i just read the book. Keshi doesnt need to do any marketing customers come to him to buy his produce. Hes been experimenting with a number of crops red love apples for example very recent cultivar with red flash resistant to disease. Maybe it has been here. And goji berries from china they thrive here too. Ok she also sells cuttings to those who want to emulate him. On land i would love to see others do precisely that. He collaborates with local foresters veterinarians and agronomists they advise small hold farmers in the mountains for example on how to get a bank loan purchase livestock or set up a Market Garden. The corrupt correct nick nature park is a lovely place to hike but visitors are few and far between because of the pandemic lockdowns and travel restrictions. The people and flocks who live here are pretty much alone. There are many feeder is a shepherd he has a hard time making a living but unlike many of his contemporaries who go abroad he wants to stay. Mostly on lama often comes up here to the mountain pastures to talk to the locals find out what problems they face and help work on solutions you re an evil they say its getting harder and harder to find places for their flocks to graze. The. Numbers of the seabees decreasing every year and lets say. Have taken over the past or the length of the basra area this is the main problem that they are losing. Significant part of. Its a vicious circle. Im ready for spends the summer months up in the mountains they spend the winter down in the village. Is mother doesnt need to worry about her son he learned everything he knows from her. He knows he doesnt lead a comfortable life like people in the city but he also knows that he has a lot more than his family did 100 years ago. Of course i would like to have a big car. But you have to make a choice. If you love this kind of life up here as i do then you cant go and live in a big city there. Still its tough tending sheep or growing crops here and our aim for the next series that we need to support these activities and these families in order that they can lets say profit from the from this at the view that they are doing this is the main the main thing. Im really feeders family seem to be content with their lives. They recently built a new house next to their old one things have been improving from one generation to the next. Heads off to visit another family. He receives a warm welcome. Just on the eldest son he works in sweden but he stuck at home because of a pandemic. Hes the one wearing a baseball cap. His mother is sad because hes keen to leave again she cant understand why whats more the youngest son wants to go to sweden to. Osun lama says the government has to realize that more and more people will leave unless things improve one issue is the infrastructure the roads in the mountains are poor government he says should give help fears theres still only a core the home record tradition is all well and good but what should we do if we cant sell what we make. The nearest areas 50 kilometers away and there are no government guarantees we get no government support. So its hard to maintain tradition. On the course of steel. Its often easier to make money of broadband to continue farming here. The old farm buildings are Still Standing but the nokia family has now built a modern house mainly financed with money in sweden. The area might be beautiful but without jobs or prospects young people will continue to go away far away. Theres a similar trend in japan here too its hard to get young people excited about a life in rural areas most want to live in cities where all their life faced and money studying partying its partly down to demographics japan has one of the oldest populations world wind and the long Life Expectancy japanese men have an average of 81. 4 years. Women more than 87 years. Entire areas of the country are aging rapidly and young people are desperate to get away or rob a. 2 years ago such as swapped the worlds biggest metropolitan area for a rural back 4 said he was fed up with tokyo. He has hills and valleys instead of bright lights and bustling crowds. The prefecture is dubbed the Japanese Dollar minds. Satyrs mission is to help develop more cool demographically speaking its the oldest village in the country 2 thirds of people here are over 65 thats a record to younger people to the village the state has agreed to pay newcomers wages and Living Expenses for 3 years for that sounds he has been prepared to help everyone out for example making she so mucky in the service station on the main thorough fare theres plenty of opportunity to chat while busy with me so she rolls and potato salad on through we were very open to him and quickly became friends with him. And the best thing of all is that he married his girlfriend and have a baby with her here on the year i go there and sutter says he will continue to do his best he helps wherever he can in the kitchen on the till and in the fields the mayor has come to visit hes just point of contact with the state sponsored program for sigal house its quite a balancing act for cruising young people while not ignoring the older generation. At the moment there are 6 or 7 people in the village who are over 100 years old people here live for a really long time regularly examine people trust their physical and Mental Health we give them cognitive training to help keep them mentally agile thats what im busy with at the moment. Such as says the old people here are hale and hearty thanks to clean air lots of exercise and healthy food the only thing that he doesnt like here is the amount of driving but he realizes theres no way around it. At 1st sulzer used to travel around the village with his wife but shes currently living with her parents for a few months thats customary for new mothers in japan meanwhile his having to get used to coping alone and being a Long Distance father to his daughter. You want your school expected. Children are desperately needed here 10000 people used to live in one more call thats shrunk to 1800. People here used to and money from the land but those days are over. The young people left and the elderly stayed. It can get pretty lonely in. The state funded Development Cooperative has provided sutter with the work space in the village hall he has a desk with a stable Internet Connection his friend and colleague tucker for me or no was born here hes one of the few who returned and is also fighting for the villages survival. More those are the more you have to respect the people have always lived here thats important but the views of newcomers bring a fresh breath of air that theyve got other connections and networks of the more that can be useful and were grateful for every single idea. The 1st idea was to build a home for retirees creating jobs and a place where people can be sure that their grandparents are well looked after the 2nd idea a program to enable city kids to get to know the area and get them interested in village life. Satele and auto have got plenty to discuss out on the veranda or no has built himself a new home here something that hasnt happened for years and he too has a baby the symbol of a good future i want to find even when we lived in yamagata we never felt that we were working for something from it for the good of a village or anything like that here its as if everything we do benefits the village how should i put it we feel closer to things here. The. Things are looking up for you. He has one year of taxpayers money left after that he has to be able to stand on his own 2 feet. A prize winning flower breeder wants to help him mr ito is satos mentor saucer is going to take over his business. It was a good idea to come here i get up in the morning and say its going to be sunny today or its going to rain and just looking at the weather and working out makes me happy now. The plan to rejuvenate the village is a race against time but you just saw so is the embodiment of hope in the in the japanese style the mites.
