Why are mushrooms central to this church?

Is anything sacred?

Some churches say drugs are and that using illegal ones is freedom of religion.

I left religion, organized religion, thinking to hell with it all.

And then psychedelics reintroduce the concept

that there might be something else

out there.

We're out on the Great Salt Lake,

which is drying up while people argue what to do about it.

It's crazy.

This entire area used to be underwater and now

there's nothing here.

Great, great, great player Flash, bang,

bang, bang

on the line.

We're on the ground in Turkey to find out the latest on the devastating earthquakes

that have killed thousands of.

I'm in Antakya and this is

you see, the destruction here is absolutely unbelievable.

Parts of the city has just completely turned to rubble.

The minute that we got here, we saw emergency workers

and rescue workers digging into the rubble,

sometimes just using their hands to try and get the rocks out of the way.

But we've also got a shooting range.

When we arrived and were told that there were

a number of people who were stuck in the rubble.

And I believe that some of them were alive here.

Wait,

wait.

Someone's alive.

Of the doctors that we spoken to, the medics here

say that he is completely fine, that his limbs are all working.

But I just

do not know.

Listening for signs of more life because they believe that this man's wife

is also still stuck under the rubble and she may also still be alive.

I mean.

That's just one of the incredible miracles that people have been seeing here.

And that's down to the volunteers and the rescue workers

who have been coming here and just working day and night to rescue people.

We spoke to.

One volunteer who traveled all the way from Brazil to come here

to help people and to try and rescue as many people as she could.

And she explains to me

what her motivations were and how she was finding it.

And I'm here

to tell me how you got to Turkey.

I came by myself because I met a team of my own.

So I do whatever it needs

to do also, because, of course, this bomb

and the first days helping to rescue the people I've.

Seen since I've met you, we've seen bodies being pulled out the rubble

and someone alive also being pulled out.

What is that like?

You know, you you come here to rescue people when that happens.

Can you describe what that feels like?

Of course.

We are so glad and very,

very pleased if that that's the reason that everybody is here.

It's to save lives.

At the end of the day, the time that we are working, we are just focused.

And when the finished everything and their lives,

our hearts, it's like a jubilee.

It's full of joy.

It's now been days since the earthquake took place.

At what point does hope to find people?

And I think it's to always hope you can't give up.

And at last when they say that, we have to.

But it's true.

Like today, it's so many days after.

Of course, the first days, the first hours is the most important.

But this your people alive and the water

there is this hope and this possibility.

We were there until the end.

They and I know it. No dream, no nothing.

Just focus on. That better.

As the

days continue, the likelihood of finding miracles

become increasingly rare and people are fighting

against the clock.

We're just two weeks away from one year since Putin launched

his so-called special military operation in Ukraine.

That was last year.

And it hasn't quite gone as planned.

But what Russia has succeeded in is shutting down

dissent.

Shrugging off Putin's

rise in.

These things.

Public protest in Russia is somewhere between incredibly rare and illegal.

But this group feels just fine about being on the streets because they're

some of the most fervent supporters of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

And they're protesting the U.S. embassy.

In. That city where.

The national liberation movement or not is Russia's equivalent of Cuba.

Normally a muddled conspiratorial group who believes

Russia is being secretly controlled by the United States.

So tomorrow, on the colossal narcissist that I knew, I thought I was up.

I thought I was with America on some sort of Napoleon mural.

Sasha.

But I think I teach strength and I see I at the thumb nails up happening.

Not believes President Vladimir

Putin is the only man who can liberate Russia from a supposed U.S.

occupation and return it to the borders of the USSR, including Ukraine.

Russia removing him from

Russian

master.

The group is fixated on targeting Russia's nukes at the U.S.

just like during the cold War.

Their leader, Yevgeny Federoff, who is also a serving

lawmaker, has even pitched the idea of a direct attack.

More New York Times zero was up, was going to hit the news.

Not sure.

Can I get what stopping you out of America

if he doesn't get an anniversary from the political, did you?

Monstrous enough? It is true, Mr..

Natalia Tesla joined not almost four years ago.

She says a son is currently serving in Ukraine.

VA Bravo.

Yes, I'm all in that.

That was very neat that

ultimately.

Yeah, but it's lower income I'm going to need to the fuck out of the US

in Europe more than we Amadeus to score ourselves to not stand there.

Yeah do not support

for the invasion of Ukraine is shared by most of Russia.

Independent polls show over 70% of people still back it.

But when what stands out is its zealous enthusiasm for the war,

Tussling co-hosts a weekly political discussion at notes offices.

With much collective YouTube passion.

Also see a piece of it is.

That gatherings are watched over by President Putin himself.

I'm mediocre, assiduous portion, I suppose.

I took a funeral a couple to Crimea and they're eating.

This would provide America in that eat

but the most unnecessary a statement that it gets you here

I keep them you believe all the above see despite their immediate history

smugly being a private Masha yet that when they decided that

American will not be she just goes back to the white man lesbian able.

To sling to agree to speak further

but only in a cluttered back room containing aware Ms..

A question

of if women procrastinate, you should go in.

I'm going up, not the Rules Committee.

Don't take most material or deal at the studios.

Now, this isn't the way to approach the idea.

But finally they

would tackle a discussion so does not.

Defend this conflict is going to go on a long time potentially.

Lots of Russians may don.

Reason and nostalgia move by jump to the cancer

treatment needle on.

Yes, let not nuts.

So she's fought to grow her weight by doing the cancer

well budget loop I give you

Williams is. She shops.

These extreme views of aggressive nationalism.

Russian exceptionalism and victimhood have made their way into the country's

mainstream, becoming everyday talking points and news, TV and government

and perspectives against the war have become nearly impossible to find.

Criticism of the military has been criminalized and over 19,000

people have been detained for war activity over the last

year.

That includes Elaine Osipova, a 77 year old artist.

He's been protesting Putin pretty much since he came to power.

She's become well known for a political paintings.

At The Moocher, Ukrainian trouble at the delivery.

She's the one who was nearly on the move the most.

The new research shows new ideas that were really good at the

youth through

the way that the deeds and the secretary usually the head, those goalkeeper games.

What you do is you just throw those rates of Ukraine.

The at the museum in.

Osipova as protesting days may be over but that's because of her arthritis.

The fact that other people aren't out demonstrating worrisome.

Minutes as to how close to protest

during which a school will attack you.

I'm in the year I tell established to see what is actually in the news.

So if I go to the theaters through June,

then I would backwards are going to M.I.T.

school more than the various media that although

they're mostly just sit in your neighborhood neighborhood

school going you will know through the you see if she provided me.

Because. I see the

film that show

the good

thing years.

Many artists have openly challenged the war, but others are embracing

Russian nationalism and finding patrons in unlikely

places.

This modern looking corporate HQ is actually the home to the Volgograd,

the paramilitary company known for its ruthless brutality.

It's recruited convicted murderers and rapists to fight in Ukraine

and use a sledgehammer to kill alleged traitors.

Now the hosting art exhibitions

painter Alexei Chisel is one of the first to be shown here.

In the new Stuttgart funeral, which is how many have died.

In addition

to music just like this, you showed him.

These heroic looking soldiers, and Chekhov's paintings are actually American.
