For eight years the children of Donbass have been walking to school under Ukrainian artillery fire, have been separated from or even lost their parents, and have learnt to distinguish one type of ammo from another. However, they still have hope for a better future and dream of becoming teachers, engineers, and doctors to one day make their land thrive once again. How these brave children survive amid death and destruction you will see in te documentary.

When death becomes a service instead of a natural part of life, is that progress or a warning sign? The loosening of euthanasia laws is forcing Western societies to confront difficult ethical questions.

Looming large across the Kerch Strait, the Crimean Bridge now links mainland Russia and Crimea after opening to car traffic. The ambitious infrastructure project ensures fast and reliable transportation for locals and tourists, travelling to the Black Sea peninsula. Follow RTD on a journey to Crimea to see every nook and cranny of the bridge construction and to explore must-see tourist attractions.

Dubbed the Philippines' last ecological frontier, Palawan Island is in danger from massive deforestation. Stretches of virgin rainforest are being razed to make way for industries taking over Palawan's natural resources. To save the island and its forest-based indigenous tribes, ecological activists take the fight into their own hands, capturing loggers and their equipment, demolishing unsanctioned logging sites and exposing corrupt officials.

Fyodor Yurchikhin always wanted to become a cosmonaut. As a senior engineer in Russia’s space programme, he wasn’t satisfied playing a supporting role. After 11 years of trying, Fyodor was accepted as a cosmonaut candidate at the ripe old age of 38. Five missions and 672 days in space later, his family still worries when he’s away ‘at work.’ But 59-year-old Yuri’s not so sure he’s had enough.

The Central African Republic's bloody civil war lead to the indiscriminate slaughter of civilians. Orphaned kids were recruited by both sides of the conflict, taught to fight, drugged and thrown into battle. After a ceasefire in 2015, the rehabilitation process began for many of them, but after all they’ve been through, they and their mentors face challenging times.

State Duma Deputy Nikolay Valuev is helping build the second branch of the Baikal-Amur Mainline (BAM) in the Russian Far East. Despite extreme conditions—temperatures dropping to -60°C in winter and soaring to +40°C in summer—this will become one of the longest railways in the world.

Resisting civilization’s impact has been their way of life for centuries. Their ancestors had immigrated to Latin America, but they have returned to Russia. Are they thriving in their newfound motherland?

Europe’s super-trawlers have fished their own waters clean. Now, they have appeared to the south off the coast of Africa. One West African nation is ready to fight for its fish stocks. The government of Gabon has teamed up with a militant conservation group called the Sea Shepherd, whose members are notorious for employing extreme tactics to thwart marine poaching.

"Mom, will they kill you?" This is the most common question from adopted children from Donetsk and Lugansk. Kolya, Tolya, and Vova are three brothers who lived in Krasny Luch, in the Lugansk People's Republic. Their father was killed, and their mother fell into alcoholism. Vova, the oldest, has always protected his brothers. Now, he rushes to shield their foster mom when a car drives by. Even in suburban Moscow, the children still don't trust their safety. Other foster parents share similar stories. Often, parents must teach adopted children basic skills—like going to the store or helping at home. Children can't tie their shoelaces but recognize artillery by sound. Now, they're receiving help to heal, catch up in school, and simply be happy.

According to a World Health Organisation report, a 1/3 of the world’s population lives without access to proper toilets. This causes natural water reserves to become contaminated with human waste, which in turn causes disease. India is just one of many countries in which rural populations suffer acutely as a direct result of poor, or no sanitation.

‘It’s home for us now’: How Joseph, Kevin and Fabrice moved to Russia to secure a better, safer, and freer future for their families.

To vape or not to vape? Is it safe? Is it safer than smoking regular cigarettes? There are more questions than answers about how vaping affects our health. Since 2019, cases of a mysterious vaping illness have become widespread. In the US alone, nearly 3,000 people were hospitalised between 2019 and 2020, and 68 died. The disease is now known as EVALI, short for e-cigarette, or vaping, product use-associated lung injury.

Rock musicians from Russia sing in English to shed light on the truth behind the events on Donbass. Performing on the frontlines and for residents of shelled cities, they use their music as a form of resistance.
