so good about the stories beyond the headline roads in progress. the w cuts cost the hello and welcome to focus on europe is great to have you with us. with the weather conditions of worsening and winter crossing the mediterranean sea to reach you of is getting increasingly dangerous for migrants. the so called balkan land true tongues as a less risky journey. at the heart of it lies, serbia, a country bordering the human. the state hungry and disturbing border tongue of some boat migrants are looking for ways to cross, many of which depend on the help of smugglers. serbian border forces have increased

through their controls and the area smuggling people has to come to look into business for gags. fully equipped and heavily armed. right, cool and his colleagues are setting out on patrol. today's mission is to find smugglers and seized weapons in the forest. on the serbian hung gary and border of the time, we are heading towards the place in the forest, which we call them ours cat named after one of the central figure whose name keeps coming up. omar is one of the main traffic, or as have we thought we're going to stop now and from here, we'll approach the cap on foot, spots and check out who's there is no reason to come for the pro joel.

it's a game of cat and mouse, and serbia's forest the traffickers and my grants are in hiding off and the police only find traces. let me just get with you. this is an empty ammunition carton. as of this m 67 bullets for assault rifles of a macedonian maid, as you can read here, suddenly the policeman are on high alert. they seem to have stumbled upon something they are fully focused. lately, the situation has become more and more dangerous. many of the traffickers are armed and work within criminal networks. the police approach the citing question with caution.

it looks deserted. there is no sign of the wanted smuggler omar, but a few meters further on. they find 2 intimidated refugees who am i speaking with that man or from syria? the name of the name of food? i think it was something he did um uh click um go on. did one of my you find me to order? so the police search them. ok. they don't find any suspicious objects or weapons. ok, a vehicle collects the pair to bring them back to a refugee camp. their journey is over for now, but many will keep trying, paying several 1000 euros and putting their paint into the hands of traffickers. serbian journalist sasha drug boy law has been researching human traffic years for years. he says that i'm a rocking gang and an african gang have divided up the underground market. you can

see here, this is the member of the 459 of the gang. they also use these side on their videos, and they're really not afraid. they're really not the fate to show off. the situation is out of control for, for a long time. so when it comes to filing up collapsing gloves in the border area without any control and a people are losing lives that is a red flag, a red line for me. and i think that needs to be tackled properly. but the gang still powerful and invincible as these picture show here, there, posing on the roof of police cars. and this is what it looks like when the smugglers send the migraines overboard or fences. attract the smugglers themselves, post the videos online drugs as a kind of an advertisement for their services on the hunt for the traffickers

continues on the serbian hunt guarantee in border they've just received a new tip off. suspicious movement has been reported via radio ranko orders. the team to move out like it's getting bumpy, hold on tight the they find a camp site that seems to have been abandoned in a hurry full. if we not, this is a charging unit for a radio bodies. we often find things like this and confiscate bucks with the so they use it to warn that were coming. they are, they need to give a few meters on the police find letters and soon after people they've been hiding in the forest. the whole group is taken

into custody or police still need to establish whether or not there are any human traffickers among them. the franco and his team haven't caught omar today. this smuggler network is difficult to crack. many of the criminal human traffickers remain at large and have the border area firmly in their grant. the of the war in ukraine has entered is the 3rd calendar year with russia still controlling part of ukraine's territory in the south east. ukraine's counter offense. this, against the russian invaders grind zone with limited gains and no decisive breakthrough. at the same time, the number of f, the cheese in the country is soaring. many soldiers, half lost limbs and combat costs. jessica schuler doesn't seek pity. he was severely injured on the front line and is not adjusting to his new normal. he says,

he says, life is full of possibilities. what a shot. and what a goal. 34 year old cost, yes is captain of a team in which every member has fought as a soldier on the front and loss to land. they all loved playing soccer much. but as we adapted were incredibly determined, we make an effort. i used to play with my right leg. now i play with my left. the men have been training together for 2 weeks. many of them are recent api cheese. the kids we won't be able to play like we used to, but we still have fun. i don't think you want to go to the team wants to play an international competitions coast. jeff thinks they're on the right track. in his speech to the team, he says, we're getting better and better the level clean glory to

ukraine. glory to the heroes. the men shout does culture consider himself a hero to. yes, yes, i don't know. i don't see myself as a hero. i wasn't at the front until the end. i was wounded, but i wanted to keep fighting. we walked in for now cost john is navigating his new normal. the father of to has had a prosthetic legs since the beginning of august. he's recovering and training at a rehabilitation clinic and lives in western ukraine. costeo's unit was stationed in bach mote. he shows us some of his cell phones he took this one on february 10th, 200 meters away from russian positions. he was hit by shrapnel, a day later the squad little said was hard to accept that my leg needed to be amputated. you took my 1st thought was what now, how do i carry on?

how am i going to tell my family nice. so that's a little bit, i guess to be bullied on. everyone here is in a similar situation. young man whose lives changed in a fraction of a 2nd since last april doctor's at the clinic and libby had fitted 1000 patients with prosthetics. another 500 are currently on the waiting list. there are no exact figures on how many ukrainians have lost a land in the war. at the moment, my plan is to learn how to walk. the rest comes later, the better i can walk, the more i can plan, the better i learn how to walk, the more plans i will have we're here with the super humans. that's the us funded center. behind this project. the name says it all the leadership, believe anything is possible. all patients are treated for free and most are highly

motivated. these are young cpu. everyone here has plans for their future and they want to turn them into reality. they want to look after their children or learn a new profession. so even once it goes back to the front of my heart, i taught is $27.00. her husband beloved in near volunteer to fight on the front lines. now she's waiting for him at the clinic while he works with the physical therapist. she says she wants to be strong for him and their 3 year old son bogged down. for the 1st time i cried was when he said he was volunteering to go to the front. he hadn't discussed it with me. the 2nd time was when he stood on his prosthetic like she hoped she and her husband can return home to heart. you've soon. i of course, we will work for cover and get on with our lives. maybe we'll have

a 2nd child's. our plans aren't changing. he's mine and i'm his worst family. in the super humans workshop, every plaster cast represents someone's destiny. each will become a prosthetic land tailored to an individual. more and more people are in need of them. it's shaping a new reality in ukraine. what is the model for thoughts? it's important how society perceive that somehow veterans are integrated and how they're accepted. we often talk about the new norms of the body, about the new aesthetics of how people with disabilities are included in our new norm. culture knows there's a long path ahead. she wants to set up his own business one day. his prosthetic is constantly being re adjusted. the position of his foot is crucial. at the clinic. she seizes every opportunity to try everything out. she now plays golf so well that

he's been invited to a tournament in the united states. he feels there's no obstacle he can't overcome. and he has a clear goal in mind clutch approval to move to. so i want to go back to the front, those to my boys in my brigade, him, but i want to find are you what cost you a wants to learn how to walk without a cane. and then with an electronic prosthetic, she sees life as being full of possibilities. a mass tourism can be both occurs and a bless. the media of old town of quarto in montenegro has seen both sides. every year, hundreds of thousands are drawn to the beauty of the unit. schol will heritage side boosting the local economy and contributing to a flourishing tourism industry. but as tourist, from cruise ships continue pouring to the bay of quarters,

scientists like dark blue kovachick, which are sounding the alarm. the ships are putting intense pressure on historic port, especially on the shore. and it's delicate ecosystem, a diving in the bay of co to maritime archaeologist, darko cove chief inch. and marine biologist nicolo george, you a bitch or exploring a something patrol boat from the yugoslav error the is the wreck is in good condition. it's been lying on the sea bed at a depth of 25 meters for over half a century. it's part of montenegro is national, cultural heritage. both scientists would like to see the state to me to protect records like this one. so it's one really popular sites and one thing that girl, i think the side of the trucks, the biggest number of divers in this area. the value of culture is one of the major

tourist hotspots on the age reality. more than 30 seconds ships and airplanes can be found along the coast, some or more than 100 years old. darker wants to make sure they are preserved. for the mark your voice, the morning morning voice army. so they would make it easier life to diverse and they build up parental to protect the site aside from the anchor. heating from illegal visits, etc. survey and medieval town of co to our our unesco world heritage sites. although cruise ships are seen as a major threat to this cultural heritage, they're also an important source of income for montenegro is the economy. on a regular sunday, 3 large ships are anchored in the inner bay for every $1000.00 residents. there are

about a half a 1000000 tourists visiting each season. voters popularity today. oh, is a great deal to roger, so i've chosen the former tourism director here, but after retiring he's taking a more critical stance on mass tours. money said boy, we need to reduce the number of cruise ships and make sure the tourists come with a much higher vacation budget, so that'd be much better for the economy. economic effect has to be moving forward . you know that the university of montenegro researchers, darko and nikolai, are studying the results of their di marine biologist. nikolai is also concerned about the impact of crew ships on the eco system. he shows us pictures of the parking ship, where we can see here, the cruisers. they create a turbulent water. so we trace the money and uh, set them in front of the bottom. each latest falls on a much wider area and the facts are there are organisms sometimes suffocating,

suffocating. then i think we should that a to them or maybe to place dollar amount of available stuff per day. so we go straight to the crew is, is entrance into the vein to, to maybe or why depends the scientists are also examining the images of the sunken ships and artifacts. they want to record as many objects as possible by the end of the year, and reconstruct them as 3 d models. so the maritime archaeologist darko wants to make the objects accessible to everyone, to divers, but also to tours on land. his vision is a virtual, underwater museums. you can even throw the visitors home and see the significant parts. so that's, that's why the 3, the for the $3.00 and $3.00 be so at least ation is very beneficial for the arise

and governments on there was a cultural change. but now darker wants to get to the bottom of some finds that a friend told them about. there may be ancient roof kyle is lying on this event and his suspicions seem to be confirmed. the tiles are almost certainly from roman tongues. dark will will document the objects and keep the site secret to protect it from looters. the in no way has us, longest coastline and the fuel source of the country's most popular tourist attraction. the guy randa fjord is one of know with spectacular world heritage sites. attracting an increasing number of cruise ship passengers with the crews industry has a huge environmental footprint. no waste. parliament has adopted

a resolution to de carbonized the fjords from 2026 ships and world heritage fuel. it's must be emission free read house gas and meeting ships will be bad and only vessels powered by alternative fuels will be allowed to enter. it's a challenge, some say it's difficult to tackle majestic mountains getting up from the deep blue water. the fewer landscape on norway's west coast is breath taking the beautiful. it's unique natural environments. attracting, taurus spend all over the world. many want to see the guy wrong, a fjord. most of all the trunk or boons sucks and make sure the giant cruise ships are able to dock for those of us living in our, their cruise ships our, our livelihood, or whether we work in the harbor for sale with a tourist. a lot of people live from tourism and have no alternative names off to

the stall. how they to know called tom, out to you. as soon as the ship has docked, the tourist pour into the village, shuffling between souvenir stores, restaurants and scenic lookout points. some $400000.00 cruise tourists visit this place every year. but now nobody's government wants to drastically reduce their numbers and above all band pollution caused by marine diesel fuel. starting in 2026 ships that burn this type of fuel will no longer be allowed to dock in the harbors shape. so mass cause cause the world's highest emissions per passenger and travel kilometers on you flip, some of you and they pollute are fjords. so therefore they have to get that and that's why all parties in the norwegian parliament have decided on a 0 emission policy course log on or inside of could all new notes that were the industry. this will be a huge challenge. since most the cruise ships still run on diesel,

but there are exceptions, like the you read the docked in another ports in the guy wrong, or if your mikaela french, you only believes that in mission free cruise is are possible in the engine room. the manager of the cruise operators shows off the company's pride and joy ship engines that run on liquefied natural gas l n, g b. except for because use that if you and which is not the temperature about these actually refrigerated. and these will open up the possibility for us to watch off in the future with the end of the few as few as we too much know, we're going things to be that small as see the 1st step of a, of a journey replacing marine diesel with l n g means a significant reduction in emissions. it also saves energy for the accommodation and facilities on board. since cabins and pools are heated using the ships engines,

but they're still a long way to go before the control room can go without diesel altogether. when they're a very strong winds, the captain can switch systems at the touch of a button to click the switch. she would no longer the n j, but it would go back to the diesel, which might give you a little bit more to code reaction plus the reaction signs on the 1st is the ultra modern vessel is the flagship. but the fleet, it costs around 1000000000 euros to build. still this technology doesn't go far enough for the norwegian government fisco calling to see if or if they want to come into our fjords. they've backed the wrong force because l n g is far from being emission free slip. it may be an improvement of 20 to 25 percent compared to other fossil fuels, and that's far too little and you dial out 2030 until now. only electric power, cruise ships like this one had been able to sail into the fjord without emitting

any harmful exhaust. but the power in these huge batteries only lasts about 4 hours after that the ship relies on l. n. g. the 1st steps toward making cruise ships green or have already been taken, but the technology still has a long way to go. and if nor ways government remains firm, got it wrong, it will see significantly fewer tourists. the port captain thinks that that will have a negative impact reset, or else the i foot on that we're aware of that. something has to be done for the environment, not in the but it's all happened very suddenly, and i can hardly imagine the consequences fix it all. so i fear for the lively to those of us living in these fuel desk and all getting it in tulsa boarding, the boarding, if you were on the board captain. and many residents are therefore hoping for a transition period, so that tourists can continue visiting the guy wrong, the fuel or by ship for years to come
