my son do many now feel that their country will have to suffer the same fate as ukraine. the republic of montoya is a landlocked country, located between the eel and the west. and ukraine. in the east lies the breakaway region off trans nestea. more than 1000 russian soldiers are stationed here. alexei and his wife live in the image it with a nitty off trans mystery up. the couple says they fear a massive conflict brewing up with russia. wild organs are scared for their future, especially in areas where they share their border with ukraine. reaching this village and winter was a bit of an adventure. in his love cher is perched on the northernmost tip of the republican moldova, just across the border from ukraine. the normally sleepy hamlet suddenly found itself in the world spotlight. last year, the war in ukraine arrived at 68 year old august doorstep when wreckage from a russian missile landed nearby. it had been shut down by ukrainian air defenses. here, good to you. i was milking the cow for a moment. i thought it was a plain look. it flew in very now and then it all came down. not very far from here . go over there on the island war 3. the most of the pieces landed here on this time, the island and the nice to river. presumably the russian missile had been aiming for a waterworks on ukrainian territory. actually a girl thought it was really frightening. oh yeah, it would go at 1st. so i thought it was a janice, give me that makes so much knowing it though. look you really and then came an explosion of stuff. i thought this is it. this is the end of the world via the river forms the border between motto, van ukraine. russia has already directly violated moldova air space. many times. that's one reason the war fuel so close. oh, on one of the main shopping boulevards, in moldova capital key, she now they're singing about love and dreaming of a better life. or even just a little prosperity formed in the break up of the soviet union will dove as only about 2600000 people. the country struggles to overcome abject poverty and to develop a working economy. those who stay here have to do with galloping inflation and prohibitive energy prices split. last i lawyer a few ch in your opinion member, but we don't have european wages. and so we're trying to get my somehow privacy im the average monthly wage in moldova is the equivalent of just 530 euros. so people here are living with the fear of financial hardship and war. when he was in the village plugins off, we can't even make plans for tomorrow or the day after that we were thinking about this evening. if we'll still be alive or have to flee, or the mobilization might began lamps the we've given the threat of war inflation. and even rumors of a cou, the country is going through some uneasy times. and now the government has stepped down. the new prime minister, former interior minister, doting with john is pro western. he made security his top priority. indications of targeted efforts at increasing russian influence have been growing and key she now for months the most recent information came from president. my a son do. she revealed that according to secret service reports, russia was planning a coo moscow immediately denied the report. the situation has been tense for years, even more so now that 1500 russian soldiers have been deployed moldova, pro, rush, and trends in history. a region we pass through to checkpoints, going into po ravia and to coming out of the village lies east of the river, but still a moldova territory. in a security zone, alexei and his wife have lived here all their lives in the early 19 ninety's fighters from break away region trends in history. a waged war here. this is no. michelle. yes, we've seen more than enough here. but what will be will be a little transistor, is trans mystery out there. separate the villages here belong to moldova, and demco mall law. they've settled into a routine here for 30 years now. the separately govern, johnson is true, lies just a stone's throw away. it's financially supported by russia, but officially recognized by know you and nation. the population is around $375000.00 back in the capitol kishi. now the contrast could hardly be greater weekends. our party time, a former miss hall is now a night club. but under the surface the fear is ever present, yet there is nothing if the will came to moldova, it would be disastrous for us, just like it is for the ukrainians. i hope our society will be spared that kind of fate. but i'm really worried that it could happen. images when you're presenting suddenly in the international spotlight, moldova, a small country with big worries at more than 60 migrants, including 12 children and a baby died after their board sank off southern italy. they were trying to reach europe. people rest their lives every day in quest of a better life in europe. if he talk of her number of asylum seekers, borgata, no other country in the european union has taken in as many refugees as the republic of cyprus, the situation seems to be getting out of control for the small island country. doris polycarp all walks as an aide walker. he shows us a refugee camp near the capital nichols here and all crowded side. but people living in catastrophe conditions there are some 1000 asylum seekers living here for the human rights activists, doris pully, carpool. the pu nara camp and southern cypress as a scandal. the garbage and puddles are the least of it. he's helping to get a better idea of the conditions. but he doesn't get very far before being sent away. the security guard also says that filming has band maybe this is a place that actually is turned into a comp that this out of control is not manageable. it's expensive and it doesn't serve the idea that it was set up with the fuel nazareth asylum seekers who arrive here are only supposed be registered before being accommodated elsewhere. however, there's little accommodation elsewhere. so people end up staying here for months. outbreaks of violence are not infrequent. and october 2022, dozens of tens went up in flames. it was they are isolated. they cannot stud already working in thinking over their integration in the society . they just wait. they off day on they eat, they sleep. in very unhealthy conditions, especially if it's cold, if it varies rain outside that cam holy carpool speaks to a syrian who is willing to talk about the conditions in the camp. anonymously limited limit, and we'll talk when the children won't eat the food here. they're not used to it out of the toilets and the washrooms are indescribably dirty. well, the woman's ones to best listen to come the film. my wife almost doesn't dare go in there. among come, middle of the republic of cyprus, registered $20000.00 applications for asylum in 2022, almost twice as much as the previous year. officially, there are about $70000.00 asylum seekers living in cyprus, which is a lot for such a small country. the government says cyprus cannot cope and it's called on the e. u to help. what we need to have in place is a month ago to relocation scheme, to help the front line member states and beat the necessity to ensure the effective implementation of the principle of responsibility for the cypriot government. the problem lies in the north eastern parts of the island of cyprus, which are occupied by turkey. this is where it says most refugees are arriving from via the cease fire lines that are only under you and supervision. we decided to travel to the northern part of the island. the eastern mediterranean university and from augusta is one of dozens of universities that fund themselves largely through international students. the numerous private universities here are also an important source of income for the region. but the syrian student, an activist ashcroft saline confirms that many of those who register here don't want to stay in the turkish occupied region. so there was scammed about the nature of the country because of that already on a scale of what the result of the same, which is they end up being for example, with financial issues that have homeless but have just a lonely mental health issues, et cetera. then they decide to become the fiji, richie and bunker arrived in southern cypress via the turkish occupied north. now he is stuck on the island and it could take years for him to get asylum. don't wanna be michel sophie thick in the 1st weeks or to nora. i slept on the streets, took a look. i don't have a work permit on my part people, but i do now get state support of 214 euros fella. not enough to live on that doris polycarp, who says that the separate government is trying to deter other asylum seekers from coming. you are like a white one that we are and one of the worst countries when it comes to giving festival prediction at to anybody ethics have from those that we don't have a choice not to give them. and i mean the syrians, i right now, even if counties right now that they're arriving to small numbers in the country, we don't examine them. back in pu, nara, he meets 2 very young somali ins outside the camps fences where one says he's 14 and wants to go to belgium, where he has an uncle. they tell them they don't get any schooling or any other care hair done when there's nothing to do but sit around and sleep and they've been doing that for 6 months. preparations are at least underway for a better sewage system. cypress is preparing for more refugees. if you are given a choice to move in to one of these pretty little how this ball from the hustle and bustle of big cities, would you? well, despite it's, it delayed beauty. no one wants to live in the spanish village off famous off rabbit, about ho mayor lucy on nicholas has decided to save haulage. and for this, she has managed to bring together all the residents for a very unique photo shoot. these spaniards bad, all including squash fama, one hope, harris here the 68 year old. we and that because the pose, he struck last summer when he and most of his fellow villages agreed to be photographed new, available for the barrack. i just had to take part when i'm looking for they told me there weren't enough people who are because we have so few residents. i had no other choice. st. louis finance half my day about hallways home to just 16 people. they banned their bodies to keep their hamlet from dying out. but here in south east in spain, the nude photos have raised eyebrow as they now grace a calendar. maize picture is of antonia pena. she wants to show that folks here. i'm more progressive and open than many people think. lesson to love her than you were just depicted in a bad light bill. probably see them on the front row. we'd like to be viewed in the way people in the laundry communities are your we pay our taxes to fill in with them. but here in our little hamlets of our own, we feel sort of left behind. we though, oh girl is will you will, our photographers david can tow? and one hor, her mia has had little trouble convincing the locals to take part with a bullet working. i'm would so in the villages things function via word of mouth. the noise go more example, see their neighbors doing it and how well they come across. it's about so they spur one another on see you see any money on a $1000.00 us. the idea for the calendar came from lucy and nicholas head of the residents association. at 30 years of age, she's one of penya. it's after i d a backwards youngest inhabitants. she commends her neighbors courage. generally what i fancy not on british video. deborah, there for it is only a kind of liberation, nothing. i'd get with the spelling stereotypes too, as a bit of a, he's on pictures of buffalo bodies, anomaly there, of ordinary people here folks can show themselves as they are. unlike many of the new photos we're familiar with will are feeling good. if i let myself be photographed too awful and the picture is great, but if you're lucy and her fellow residents, also hope to send another message with their photos. since the 19 sixty's, sand and marble have been mined in this area, that's turned the once a d like landscape surrounding the hamlet into quarries that are a source of noise, dust and dirt. i had that really give ask, is that one and basically rest so many other riches here than that skinny, almost forgot. we have a culture that we want to show. sally, been all the wine cellar on your day. a pine tree that must be older than everyone here put together it from bogo, and we simply want to show that way more than what surrounds us city gorski, what they're going to get the new holiday. oh good. so patrick sanchez was also happy to post with the calendar at 100 years old and he's the pin up for december, even though he's not totally mean penya sandy about whose oldest resident suddenly remembers the days when the hamlet was full of life. another little boy, although being all you know, so we always partied on the weekends. so lately, one week every one came to my place and the next week it was someone else's turn wheel. oh, but when we had a guitar and accordion and people danced, love ordeal a he away line b o handrail sanchez doesn't know if the photo project will revitalized the village, but he says it sure was fun. yeah, go right through the moodle of buddha, was you everyone who knows me is surprised that i dared to do it. i think of doing a little. oh, but i'm up for doing different things like this. some paris penya. it's half a day about holland. it's calendar on now known well beyond the spain's borders to the delight of squash grow. a handful perez, who's discovered an unknown side of himself with him are no longer have any inhibitions, though i'd never done anything like this before, but, but i'm on board for next time. in the hamlet they were ready making plans for next year's calendar with even more residence revealing everything finance, half hunting. tobacco has to offer. talk to you with moving from spain to the netherlands. amsterdam attracts a load of doris in summer. but in winter the city them, so get quite windy and cold. you can be freezing even when you are indoors. that's because most houses are old and not well insulated. and if you wanted to get that fixed, you would have to pay a half day amount. however, there are some good samaritans who are insulating the doors and windows. i'm in some cases even the was all free of cost. the brigade hops on its cargo bikes and started working day at 9 am and answered am number 111, right. what have you run over? not a hoops come rain, snow or storm. we have to pack up our tools and get on our bikes. we ride out to the customers in any kind of weather. after all, they're counting on us, not a control. francis is the foreman and the co founder of the fixed brigade. what started out as a volunteer project is now a pain job. today they've been called out to an apartment chair. quit once over shows, it's going to be a big job listed put heater that is i wanted to show you this here along the door frames lower edge on the you can clearly see a blue stripe. hilda, that means a draft is coming through content compton, on april fool. so the thing is, we're here feel it. if you hold your hand here you can feel the draft. yeah, no, and a very good not. that is, i've here at 16 degrees celsius and down here, only 5 degrees available, leaky windows are all too frequent to out of 3 apartments in the netherlands are badly insulated itself. here the doors had simply been glued on to the frame handle . a quick and dirty job ever gave. doesn't the cold blowing in here bother you on a go to 3? i dance, we have the heating on the not. yes. okay, yeah. and this window here is nothing more than an opening in the concrete in nashville, but they just staffel the windows in with no potty and we have to redo everything he'd another. what of ticket? lisa m a risk as apartment needs a lot of work. the seal along the front door is worn out and hardly any of the lights have energy saving l e. d bulbs. yeah, it visible that i realized that many things here wouldn't ideal. but often i just didn't know how to change it. and i asked the housing association, but they not really any help either, but i fear no, we actually called them 4 times to complain about the problems. someone did combine a lot, but for example, they never took care of the insulation classy. now the fixed brigade is taken care of it instead, but only low income people can get a visit from them. their work is free of charge. the money to pay, the employees comes from e u grants. now the project has inspired companies and other towns also clean the ascent belongs our clients. are people who receive benefits or they're financially dependent on the state in other ways on the receiving it come, okay, hold for some are disabled. others hardly speak a word of dutch reca if you don't know the language well enough to communicate your problems to the building association. they just brush you off on this invasion day, sir aiden, that we hear that over and over what states and what can that for how endangered, or who about 750000 dutch people are estimated to be having trouble covering their energy costs. many of them turn to francis and his co workers, and now 6 teams are working simultaneously in amsterdam, alone, pavement requirement. we lacked tools and materials support instead of once a month. we've got to order new materials once a week now, but that shows very clearly how great the need is among the people in our target group basements and in days, lot of them. this target group often has very little confidence in the authorities . but all the more in italy, projects like the fiscal gate, as francis, the fixed brigade is booked up solid till august. their success is keeping them extremely busy. skiing is by far the most popular winter sport in europe. sutherland alone offers more than 300 skita thoughts, but they are having a tough time due to high energy prices and climate change. anton cabrera was never a fan of these huge resorts. he has been running one of the smallest key areas in switzerland for decades. a reason for its popularity is that it is a family run business having the slopes, almost all to yourself here there's a sense of freedom that's hard to come by in the swiss alps these days. just 20 kilometers of ski runs to channel lifts and no plans to expand. that's how anton caliber alike sent for over half a century. he's run the small family own ski resort son heinsohn bag in the garrison. at h 92, he still hits the slaves himself. i go with the boy. if i am not good for you, i ski like i did 50 years ago. every day anton calibre enjoyed the stunning view with his grandson. dennis anton's father purchase the ski resort in the late 19 sixty's. his 13 children all pitched in albany the bod. every one emptied their bank accounts and put the cash to charlottes. if you're 60 i was a long time. there were a few $100000.00 swiss francs from the bank to that club ali, but everyone helped otherwise it wouldn't have happened in the resort has simple slopes and a hill for sledging that makes it a favourite with families. in particular, many of the guests, some reckless of the mileage. it's the best. oh, not overrun with people. and you can let the kids jump around last and i see it's long but nice very so it's not so crowdy and it's very familiar. i hope they could chew up, but it's very difficult. i notice at an elevation of 1700 meters as a restaurant and guest rooms. dennis has been in charge of the kitchen for 3 years . he spent much of his childhood up here. swan round from his visits, looking back, it was a dream for me is via ball in the winter. we drove up here almost every weekend and when skiing was one he or she you fall, the mountain is still his home. and his grandfather is his rel, model. as danville it does that he's clearly the boss up here claus for me. he's the one who says what's, what is low law school? dennis wants to preserve the place he loved so much as a child. even if climate change means this fall less snow in winter than he says, you always need to come up with something new and be creative. does says finished, i'm for him moment is yes, it's certainly not easy right now. this year has been extremely difficult for many a mom for lunch. we couldn't ski here at the start of the season. so that was a problem. but at least we had the sledding hill, your company, so we made sure it was up and running. so people could use that in the late 19 ninety's, the family bought a chair left for a symbolic frank from a larger ski resort that no longer needed it. but otherwise, little has changed here. when it all gets a bit too much for the senior manager, he withdraws to what he calls his concert hall. as laundry ski resort, struggle to find ways to cope with climate change and become more sustainable. he's happy with his approach, if low key family orientated tourism. ah, you, abby, ga. gov. we always took care of the landscape building only what was necessary. i know huge, ugly, concrete blocks kidney joke. so basically it's like it was 50 years ago. darmesh is angry. the v for victor young. except for the snow. there's no longer enough. still until calibre is sure his grandson will think of something. how do you like the spaniel ski holidays do let us know. we'll be back next week until then. good bye. and
