he 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, and i want to find out the 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 possibility. a mass tourism can be both occurs and unless the mediaeval town of quarto in montenegro has seen both sides every year, hundreds of thousands are drawn to the beauty of the unit. sco will heritage side boosting the local economy and contributing to a flourishing tourism industry. but us tours from cruise ships continue pouring to
8:43 am
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. diving in the bay of co to the maritime archaeologist, darko kovak, chief of inch, and marine biologist nicolo georgie, of which are exploring a sunken patrol boat from the yugoslav error the. the wreck is in good condition. it's been lying on the sea bed at a depths 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 do more to protect records like this one. it's one really popular sites
8:44 am
in montenegro. i think the side of the trucks, the biggest number of divers in this area, the value of co 2 is one of the major tourist hot spots on the adria out is more than 30 seconds. ships and airplanes can be found along the codes, some or more than 100 years old. charco wants to make sure they are preserved. for the mark their voice, the morning morning voice are missing so they would make it easier life to diverse and they build a parental to protect the site. aside from the anchor, heating from illegal visits, etc. the bay and medieval town of coach or are you anesco 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,
8:45 am
3 large ships are anchored in the inner bed 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 slough chose so the former tourism director here. but after retiring, he's taking a more critical stance on mass tours and somebody said, boy, we need to reduce the number of cruise ships and make sure the tourists come with a much higher vacation budget. that'd be much better for the economy. economic effects has to be mobile, but you know, at the university of montenegro, researchers, darko, and nickel are studying the results of their di marine biologist. nicola is also concerned about the impact of crew ships on the eco system. he shows us pictures of the parking ship. we can see here the cruisers. they create a turbulent water. so retrieve the a month and the still set them in front of the bottom is later this falls on
8:46 am
a much wider area. and the facts are, there are organisms sometimes suffocating, suffocating them. i think we should the day to day to them, or maybe to place dollar amount of available slots per day. so we can strengthen the cruises entrance into the vein to, to maybe or want defense. 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. maritime archeologist 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're going to the music jesus home and see the, the significant parts and so that's, that's why the 3, the photographic cnc,
8:47 am
the visualization is very beneficial for the rise in governments on under one of the cultural. but now darker wants to get to the bottom of some finds that a friend told him about there may be ancient roof. kyle was lying on the sea bed and his suspicions seemed to be confirmed. the tiles are almost certainly from roman tongues. dark. oh, we'll 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 is spectacular. world heritage sites attracting an increasing number of cruise ship passengers, but the crews industry has
8:48 am
a huge environmental footprint. no waste. parliament has adopted a resolution to the carbonized, the fjords from 2026 ships and world heritage fuel. it's must be emission free, read house and 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 or the crew ships are our livelihood or whether we work in the harbor for sale with the tours. a lot of
8:49 am
people live from tourism and have no alternative to live up to the stall. how the general called tom. i'll see 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 to ship. 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 post log on or inside of all new notes for the industry. this
8:50 am
will be a huge challenge. since most the cruise ships still run on diesel, but there are exceptions like that. you read the docked in another port in the guy wrong, or if your mikaela front, 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, enjoy ship engines that run on liquefied natural gas l n, g b, except for because for the 1st time you use that if you and which is not the temperature, but these actually refrigerated and this will open up the possibility for us to adopt in the future with the end of the few as few as we too much know, we're going to answer 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 in
8:51 am
facilities on board. since cabins and pools are heated using the ships engines. but there's 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 begin with, you 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 go 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, just disco calling to see if or if they want to come into our fjords. they've back the wrong force. because l n g is far from being emission free slipped, 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 for that until now. only electric power,
8:52 am
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 there 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 disabled l i for on that, we're aware 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 of pics old. so i fear for the lively to those of us living in these fuel desk and logging in tulsa boarding, the boarding, if you were on the board captain. and many residents are there for hoping for
8:53 am
a transition period so that tourists can continue visiting the guy wrong. a few words by ship for years to come to let me introduce you to once us what kind of perform was collected based in the u. k. all members have down syndrome, a genetic condition which can cause both mental and physical challenges. the group is called drax and, and the kings and queens and the direct collective showcase, the creativity and talent to audiences around the world. and they've received international a claim over the past years. we've caught up with the group in building the rank syndrome and celebrating their big premiere in berlin. their brittany's 1st professional draft collected for performers with down syndrome. the proceeding i get for now i'm performing
8:54 am
a and the low myself. i make i a k a in a key to sound dame or mixing to ground. i didn't wild a k i they doing that? correct? they do agree as a loyal lady, she likes to work and show off ga. gov well, mix adam and the other members of direct syndrome take on different persona has went on stage for them. it's a repel in against society and a statement for more diversity and inclusion for people with disabilities. plus, it's a whole lot of fun. since the group was formed in 2018, the members have toured on several continents. they've also performed at the famous glastonbury festival and for the fashion magazine about the exact same or 10 years i left on pharma. and if i were to do or was 5,
8:55 am
it still rare to see people with down syndrome performing on stage. the dance collective wants to encourage other people with disabilities to pursue their passion. it was all amazing. the main thing is accessibility and visibility, because that's what we want. the word diversity pops up everywhere. but the question is, where do we actually see it put into action? and i've never seen a show like this before. the artist, subtract central stand for freedom of expression. so what i'm gonna do just up the lady doesn't know. so i'm just living with life. i'm just making the statement and it's okay to be free to you. i'm frank. all right, you have, may have been in the be of the, of us to do your own thing. that sounds like a message worth copying this year. we wish you all the best with 2024. thanks for
