12:32 pm
january, when the self proclaimed authorities and friends and history are imposed. a ban on moved over and farmers though me since 2006, it's now the 3rd or 4th time that this is happening. the whole popular water it happened before that we didn't have access to our land and couldn't work it for 2 or 3 years. imagine the difficulty of starting from scratch again if the 0, the organ valentino as children left small dover years ago, they are on their own as they try to prepare the land for a full harvest. but they don't know how they will do it. there is no hope they got that we're old. now, all our children left to spots cookies with this. why do you think they left just because of this situation here? thought that situation began more than
12:33 pm
3 decades ago. mold open forces for pro russian separatists in the early 19 ninety's most go. has russian troops stationed in frozen history ever since a defacto state? not recognized internationally, but supported by russia, more adult than stuckey oriented comrade valerio, folks touring that's for now they are worried that things will get worse. again. the top of the lot to the, the population here. freedom of movement is prohibited with the exception of the ferry. moving goods across this region is forbidden as well. so it's freedom of expression for the buck who are experimentally building this. this ferry is crucial. it let small domains get our own strengths, and these 3 and border controls we used to river divide, small dual, but from the break away region, except for
12:34 pm
a funeral. dover in place as the cause your in valerio's say it's only a question of time for rush, you to use trans mr. you to attack moldova. because as long as some people are concerned from putting you can expect anything. today he can say one thing: tomorrow he can do another we don't have permission to film into separate dis, control trends and his trend regent. russian soldiers, who are officially on a peacekeeping mission, keeper watch. but they are pro russian voices in more dove and controlled in place to some here, open the endorse. potent says usually will protect us of maybe increase our pensions because we're getting little money here is that we want to be with russia . they help pauses on from a higher the mold open government however, wants to steer moldova towards the use. they say russia has been trying to,
12:35 pm
to stabilize moldova. and they say the newly introduced customs for goods from trans, nice trio is necessary, will make fucking because he bought a car. i'm not denying the fact that the economic situation and the trends in history and region is bad. i use the mold. ova is not the one to be blamed for that . it is not because of ukraine always don't cry. yeah, you say it's bad due to the consequences of russia's aggression against ukraine, the ugly, sue now who's certain both the ball greatly, the oregon valentino say there is no real stability for them as long as the conflict with the separatist for that. but no one here knows what a solution might look like for the people on both sides of the news to river. or what plans most go has for the region to wear off to italy now where torres visiting the city of bologna. uh, what we meant by red containers right at the old city center. and at 1st glance,
12:36 pm
the eye catching structures looked like a piece of contemporary art, but they are actually there to protect passers by. and the city's most popular monuments, the towers of guys send the and i've seen a lead these impressive structures have been the symbol of bull on. yeah. for centuries. but now they are facing a serious threats. gravity to 900 year old towers stand slanted in the city of the loan, yet they've always been anything but straight. the larger one, tony, as the natalie is 97 meters tall. it's smaller siblings. they've got these then the tower tops out at just 48 meters and leading sharply. now there was real concern. the towers may collapse up with us and such as the locals have a bad feeling about it. it's really painful to see such an important historic monument in such a poor condition with someone. you know, i've lived here many years and over the course of time,
12:37 pm
i've seen the tower tilting further and further. it's a really important symbol of fun. you. we help with will stay that way and won't have to be torn down a bond to ensure that doesn't happen. the city council has even brought 70 year old engineer that fail opportunity out of retirement. the expert on both towers. she leads the restoration committee. she's headed to the construction site together with her colleague phillip or for loni bruni knows, there are 2 main reasons why the tower is thinking it's suffering from a disease it's had since birth. it was so bad that a 100 years after its construction was started. when it reached a height of 60 meters, 12 meters has to be taken off because it was already starting to lean muscle. yeah . and since then it's selling
12:38 pm
a foundation that supports the $4000.00 ton tower. has continued to crumble. the area around the towers has been cordoned off, and norm is containers were set up right in the center of the old town homes. i never assigned to the committee recommended. we set up this double stock of containers tissue. they've been studying the towers for years. so let's say that, did we see this is how we're attempting to protect the surrounding buildings and the people who continue to pass by here they can see what that honestly thought it . alice, the concrete anchors hold the containers down, steal nets, or to be added to protect the church, and the bigger tower. the city's historic center has become a permanent construction site. there have been rescue attempts before, during the 19 ninety's engineers used on iron rings to secure the tower. and in
12:39 pm
2021, the foundation was reinforced with steel cables to prevent further cracks. oh boy boy. and then we'd have to observe the structures here and read it here. we end here to this is exactly as little space. so there are gaps in the walls, thickness. he's got a goat that has the burden transferred from the walls above has cost an overload. so the phase is less resistant until recently, the tower had always tilted towards the east, but that changed in may. 2023. suddenly the pendulum showed 20 goodies and was leaning towards the northwest to. nobody really knows why people think this is where the pendulum is. it's the most visible instrument in the tower. so meet that it starts at the tip and hangs down to here is what application measures the towers movement. i mean,
12:40 pm
thoughts are measurements system and shows how much is moving in the system. i think these are what i can do that. can you define this to towers the moment, sir, and it's always been a moment. the one there are also acoustical and optical sensors as well as a gpi system at the top of the tower. it is likely the most monitored monument in italy think what's the main salt? so know, most of the state of the tower is very closely observed. at least we continually check data from the sensors, which deliver information on every movement of the tower in real time to speak. one thing is the planned reinforcing and renovation work is expected to cost 20000000 euros and continue for a decade to keep the tower standing for the next to 900 years. the people in britain are facing the worst economic situation in decades with effects of brags and the cobit pandemic, and
12:41 pm
a staggering place. and more and more people are forced into poverty shop lifting, as seen by some as the only possible way to get necessities for themselves. and their children and leaves a fair on mcknight is the person shop owners turn to when they need help to ramp up security. she is familiar with the sheer desperation that lead some to feel and understands the need to make store as a safe space for the whole community. of the shots listing in england is at an all time high. the entire shell strips bare as if it were given many shops are facing bankruptcy at some point. fair and i cannot have enough. she now fights again, shoplifters with a start up that helps storekeepers wishing to protect themselves. thieves plunder here in small corner shop,
12:42 pm
almost daily. it sometimes gets 5 and he shows us what happened last week. an elderly woman had to be brought to safety behind the cash desk. i just of course, but it is my cell to my customers. you know, it does good. yeah. so yeah, it at them is very what it was interesting that i so so now farrah has been advising him for years about the technology to use and how to handle dangerous situations like this one. he kept these, these things. he's made yes o h is going to be the person out yet, and that's what his priority is. and he does something really well. if the police show up at all, it's usually hours later, fer it ensures that the surveillance videos are registered afterwards and charges are filed. she knows all the tricks because she was once a shock look to herself. before she turned 18, she came up with the idea of making
12:43 pm
a business much later when she saw how many shots have to clone since the result will be for they rely on these communities and schools to be on the doorstep so they can get the mail and they come on, some of them comp travel miles. and you guys think of this as you know someone is going out, you just say, yeah, they can cable sir insurance as low as on the shelf. mistaken one thing kind of mouth so that the silver crystals is going to be solar, mainly stealing bread, milk and baby food weight and claiming that on insurance doesn't help farrah points out to women who she says are stealing for their children. this is, this is wrong to do this, but there is helping support here and available to you. but it's not that simple. social 8 organizations have closed in many places because communities have financial issues. there are many reasons for the ranks it,
12:44 pm
which has contributed to rising. living costs is one of them and the other is years of tory austerity policies. often, all that remains is for most of time. as here in sheffield. the update behavior is merely a fin facade to crumble as soon as we start to ask questions, cause people to, to feed the family, to call the foster though we know. and the seriously got ya, suicide is right. i want at least 5 people die. and this last 12 weeks 5 people took to from suicide. so with all that is that it is as well telling us all everyday. are you going to be able to put your food on the tables are going to put the heat when it's being cold, as it is not just me. but what you know, to furnish differential being to have some a buy for some reason the english want microsoft in many places. those
12:45 pm
coming to the rescue are like the people working on their own. like helen shop may look like any or 2nd hand store. but there's far more to it, it's shelters the homeless and distributes food for people in need. those who have meeker funds can buy a jacket here for a few pounds. helen helps every one with decency and loads of respect. and you call you people any hope kind of a call and so outlook is gonna allow us to 6176 on the side. what we find i'm gonna show you will be fine at some point we'll get over it. so it just goes to a muddle through the state, but we've never seen public time like this before. no. and it's not just the jobless. we're poor. zoe is a social worker, but her pay is by no means enough to provide clothing for her children. and then she tells me when you get people coming in and stuff like that,
12:46 pm
the after her children's father stole her harder and pay, she threw him out. since then she's been raising them on her own. sometimes she needed to steal, especially when they were small. and i'm not gonna lie, i didn't get enough space and because i couldn't afford no, she went and she says the knowledge that there was no long term way out is difficult to bear. you trying to swim before and but there's a time coming in and on with that each time and you can't seem to be swallowing the wall or at the same time. but then also you're trying to stay. i am on to me, which is knowing that i've got the kids. if i'll often associate with the kids, i've seen kind of drowned just not zoey's children are aware of her situation. they notice she often doesn't teach so that they don't go to school hungry. lucas
12:47 pm
sometimes feels guilty about it. i would like ask her if she won't, if you like, wants anything to eat. and if he's in it, which, um, sometimes i was concerned about that. but then also she'd be in the middle of a lex fitness. the government's support has banished from people's lives. so those in need find their own way to fill the gaps as best they can. fair often brings a colleague to show shop owners how they can protect themselves better. because more and more poverty is being exploited by organized crime. see that you have the light, is that and go ended i, and then what happens every escalates and that escalates. people get moved violent and not because they believe they can get away with it. helen says, this is a side effect of increasing impoverishment effects. i think we're kind of this to,
12:48 pm
to pop up somewhere while it's victoria and draw a map wake up kids with housing, the clothes and how some issues that we received on britain is one of the world's richest countries. but instead of hope for the future, it seems, but many here are on their way back into the midst of britain's dr. passed. many couples who want to have a child would do almost any thing to fulfill that dream. unfortunately, women in poor social economic circumstances are sometimes exploited by criminals to make that dream come true. the greek island creed is still grappling with the aftermath of a candle that rock the community. and it all revolves around the very controversial subject of surrogacy. the opportunity center incorrectly in
12:49 pm
the dreams of dozens of childless couples are contained in these tangles eggs and embryos frozen at negative 196 degrees celsius. the director of the genesis fertility clinic says some of them will be carried to term by surrogate mothers. quite legally. we do a lot of so gets, but we always advise the people to bring their own some of their own. so that means a sister, a friend and mother. contrary to most of the european union, surrogate motherhood is allowed in greece as a lawyer, maria pop, a donkey explains, but it remains an exception and it's not meant to be a business model. is allowed is offering this services only senselessly only for us to
12:50 pm
waste and not for money making because if you make mom, i feel this business then the crime will show month rate is a very close. yeah, that's exactly what happened on the greek island of creek. and on a grand scale, the journalist, finding nico foot aki has researched a number of cases. she took us to a holiday village on the islands west coast, where dozens of surrogate mothers warehoused until they gave birth from the homeless. and they were a gift here in an absolutely controlled environment. as they didn't have to take care of both and the sinks they are when, when mainly from my george. yeah. remain now more dave? yeah. and after a delivery, this amount of the 10215000. this was
12:51 pm
the payment sort of then the scandal came to light in the summer of 2023. the tranquil port of honey. i was rocked by police raids and arrests. a gynecologist who turned out to be the head of a criminal organization, was arrested. accused of human trafficking. more than 100 women from very poor backgrounds are thought to have been lowered to this private clinic. to be surrogate mothers nicki foot aki has found out that couples from all over the world paid up to $120000.00 euros for their dream child. now closed the clinic is no longer making millions from the surrogacy business. but nikki foot, aki strongly believes that there are other cases still happening today. steve and markets exist because there is the need for dublin still have babies and the
12:52 pm
the gap is martin's more huff problem. so we say for she says that the greek authorities have not clamped down on a legal surrogacy and human trafficking. there was not enough. did they see a supervisor being forwarded? be processed, taking care, or this monday, or these women coming on deck, sweeping the country. so i believe that it was hypocrite us, the local doctors like minorities kind of the talkies, are concerned about this kind of medical tourism. he explains that surrogate mothers sometimes look after newborns and intensive care at the state. hospital of hon. yeah. he says he was shocked by the behavior of some parents to be we saw them sometimes. not a lot of times they took the baby and they went away. is not the box to say you bought them big. but for some people,
