#video #Kenya

Poverty and few jobs drive young men in Kenya to provide sex to older European women who come to the country on vacation.

Poor education is one of the reasons why young boys are easily dragged into prostitution. They haven’t the qualifications to get a decent job. Some boys claim they were underaged when these older women from Germany, Switzerland, and other countries approached them for sex.

Like young girls who also fall victims to sex tourists, the boys soon grow up and stop being “eligible” for the job. So they try to get as much as they can while it is still possible.

The nonprofits and volunteers who work in Kenya are doing their best to educate children by building schools. This is the only way to ensure they will have a future and change their way of thinking.

“Thanks to your crew, my mommy is now with me and warm. I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life. Once again, thank you very much,” Victoria Forkavets says in a message to RT Documentary. Our film crew helped her find her mother Natalya Angeleva.

Vika couldn’t contact her mother for almost a month. She only knew she was in Volnovakha, with no water, food, or power. She didn’t even know if her mother was alive. Finally, Victoria turned to us for help.

We did what we could. And now Natalya Alexandrovna is alive,” - said our correspondent Vyacheslav Guz. From Volnovakha to Khartsyzsk, they chatted about the recent battles, marauders, and the cold.

Like other locals, Natalya had been hiding in a basement. She says there were no humanitarian corridors, no information from the Ukrainian authorities.

The story of Viktoria and her mother Natalya has become part of a film, shot by director Oleg Nekishev, correspondent Vyacheslav Guz and cameraman Vladimir Lipatov.

If President Putin wanted to go in with bombs, it would be like America does,” says Mark Dougan, a former US Marine and police officer. He went as a journalist to Ukraine to see the progress of the special operation. His point of view is in the video; check it out.

Want to know his story? As a police officer, Dougan investigated the crimes of his colleagues and tried to bring them to justice. He even created a website where people could report police brutality. But according to Dougan, former colleagues started planning to kill him. That’s why he left the country. Our documentary ‘Breaking Bad Wolf’ is about it.

Shortly after Russia's military operation in Ukraine began, many Russians abroad felt a surge of Russophobia, from politicians to ordinary people on the street. Most Western countries deem discrimination unacceptable, and even illegal, when it comes to Russians, this no longer seems a given.

Some Russians say they are being fired from their jobs just because of their nationality, denied apartment rentals and even having bank accounts closed.

When it comes to social media, verbal abuse and bullying levels are unprecedented. Russian immigrants say they try to abstain from commenting on Facebook. “I’ve been getting various threatening messages on my phone recently. Most are along the lines ‘get out of here, a dead Russian is the best Russian,’” says one Russian woman who lives in Iceland.

Experts say this wave of harassment will eventually subside, but before it does, Russians should steer clear of social media and report physical threats to the police.

Hundreds were killed, thousands injured, and a city destroyed. Twenty-three years ago, NATO launched airstrikes on Belgrade.

Operation Allied Force launched 2,300 missiles and dropped 14,000 bombs. Collateral damage included schools, libraries, hospitals and homes. The alliance blamed Belgrade for ‘excessive and disproportionate use of force’ in a conflict with an ethnic Albanian insurgency in Kosovo.

To learn more about the legacy of NATO’s bombing of Yugoslavia, watch our documentary, ZASHTO (WHY?) on https://rtdocumentary.online/films/why

Texas would be the world's 40th largest country if it was still an independent state. Yes, still. For a nine-year period between 1836 and 1845, Texas was an independent country. But some Texans, or Texians as they call themselves, claim their country never lost its sovereignty.

These separatists believe the United States’ annexation of Texas was illegal. The activists run their own government and have their own currency system.

There are more than 17 million veterans in the United States, according to the US Census Bureau. For many, leaving the military for civilian life is difficult and riddled with challenges, including unemployment, homelessness, and mental illnesses.

Many veterans suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, as well as drug and alcohol addiction. Instead of turning to medication, some seek help and emotional outlet in therapeutic activities. Watch this documentary to learn more.

Agafia Lykova might be one of the most famous women in Russia. The world has changed many times over in her time, but life in the Siberian taiga hasn’t changed in 77 years. This documentary about Agafia was filmed eight years ago, but it’s still relevant.

Agafia Lykova, 77, is the sole remaining member of her family, which fled religious persecution during Soviet days. She lives apart from society, reads the Bible, and speaks old Slavonic. Although she rejects modern technology, last year she accepted a solar panel to power a satellite phone so she can call for help in case of emergency.

Hear Agafia’s incredible story of unshakable faith and resilience (it takes guts to live alone in the land of bears and wolves) in the documentary, Agafia, on Documentary Planet @documentaryplanet

- What scares you most, a drone or…the mines?
- Mines.
- Why?
- Because you walk, walk, walk…suspecting nothing. Then boom! And you’re gone.

Little girl Masha, like every kid in the Donbass, knows the difference between types of ammunition. Local children are used to shelling, while grown-ups try to protect them from the horrors of war. The full story in the documentary, Trapped.

Salar de Uyuni is the world’s largest salt flat. It covers 11,000 square kilometres. Locals call it ‘God’s Mirror’. When salt was in great demand, it was essential. But now the situation has changed.

In the late 1980s, vast lithium reserves were found at the salt flat, some of the biggest in the world. Lithium sometimes referred to as ‘21st-century oil,’ is an essential raw material needed to manufacture batteries.

But unfortunately, lithium extraction pollutes the atmosphere and seriously disrupts the ecosystem. Still, saleros continue their work even risking their health because salt has become their whole life — they earn their living extracting it, making art pieces of it and even building salt houses.

When a plutonium bomb dropped on Nagasaki, a teenage postal worker, Sumiteru Taniguchi, was ‘lucky’. However, he received terrible injuries to his back and left arm.

Sumiteru was a hibakusha, the Japanese for an A-bomb survivor. Burns covered his entire back, forcing him to lie on his stomach for nearly two years.

Sumiteru devoted the rest of his life to the anti-nuclear movement, showing his scars as a symbol of the horrors of war. More than 70,000 people died in Nagasaki due to the Fat Man bomb.

Sumiteru died of cancer in 2017. This is part of his interview from the documentary Atomic Message.
