reasonable stuff. what is this nonsense? i want my son to become a doctor, to in the canal. it's time to to us and then when generations flash dogs, january 14th on d, w. the hello and welcome to focus on europe is great to have you with us, with the weather conditions of worsening in winter crossing the mediterranean sea to reach you of this good, increasingly dangerous for my friends, the sole calls balkan land true funds this a less risky journey at the heart of it lies, serbia, a country bordering the human. the state hungry and the serbian border tongue of

both migrants are looking for ways to cross, many of which depend on the help of smugglers. serbian board of forces have increased through their controls and the area smoking 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 the mars cat, named after one of the central figure whose name keeps coming up. omar, it's one of the main traffic, or as haven't 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 proposal.

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 go to you. this is an empty ammunition carton. m 67 bullets for assault rifles, macedonian made, 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 that we speak english, a man or from syria. see the name of this beautiful name. i see that he did um uh took um go on. did one of my you find me to order the police search them. okay. they don't find any suspicious objects or weapons. ok, the 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 years, then putting their paint into the hands of traffickers. serbian journalist sasha drug boy law has been researching human traffickers for years. he says that

i'm a rock and gang and an afghan 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 afraid to show off the situation is out of control for, for a long time. so when it comes to filing up, collapsing for obviously 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, they are opposing 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, gary and 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. we often find things like this and confiscate mexican and 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 there . great. 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, was the limits of 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 now 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 app, you cheese the kids, we won't be able to play like we used to, but we still have fun. i 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 and he says,

we're getting better and better 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 locked 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. he 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 a yes 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 limb 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 people, you, 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, something even once it goes back to the front of my heart. it 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 har tube, soon. of the doors we will work to recover and get on

with our lives. maybe we'll have a 2nd child. 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? so it's important how society proceeds that somehow veterans are integrated and how they're accept dispute. 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 sees as 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. could you put a note to say, oh, i want to go back to the front this to my boys in my brigade, him, but i want to find are you up to 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 mediaeval 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. 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. so it's one really popular sites

in montenegro. i think the side of the trucks, the biggest number of divers in this area. the bay of quarter is one of the major tourist hot spots on the adria out in. more than 30 seconds. ships and airplanes can be found along the coast, some or more than 100 years old. darko wants to make sure they're preserve the mark their voice the morning morning voice are missing so they would make it easier to live to diverse and they build up parental 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,

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 write us off chose so the former tourism director here, but after retiring he's taking a more critical stance on mass tours. somebody said, boy, we need to reduce the number of cruise ships and make sure the tourists come with a much higher vacation budgets, and that'd be much better for the economy the columbus gets. it got to be mobile. but do 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 cruise 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 treat the a month and so set them in front of the bottle reach later this 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 slots per day. so we can spread the cruises entrance into the vein to, to maybe or why don't 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. 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 even to the music jesus home and see the significant parts and so that's, that's why the 3,

the photographic cnc visualization is very beneficial for the ryan governments on there was a cultural attorney, but now darker wants to get to the bottom of some finds that a friend told him about there may be ancient roof, tireless, lying on the sea bit. and his suspicions seemed to be confirmed. the tiles are almost certainly from roman tongue. charcoal will document the objects and keep the site secret to protect it from looters. the or no way, has you eps long, this 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

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 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 environment, attracting tourists from all over the world. many want to see the guy wrong, or if your most of all drunk 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 tour and

a lot of people live from tourism and have no alternative to live up to the stall. how the general 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 crews 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 and 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 your flip. some of you and they pollute are fjords. so therefore they have to look at that. and that's why all parties in the norwegian parliament have decided on a 0 emission policy post log on or inside could all new looks like where the

industry this will be a huge challenge. since most of 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 emission 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. big step forward. because for the 1st time you use that, if you will, which is not the temperature, but these actually refrigerated and these will open up possibly before us fluids off in the future. but because i said that the fewest fewest we too much lower are going to be decimal 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

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 and one big engine here, click the switch. she would no longer the m 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 to it costs around 1000000000 euros to build. still this technology doesn't go far enough for the norwegian government were cisco calling to see if or if they want to come into our fjords. dave back the wrong horse. 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 dial out for that. 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 there have already been taken, but the technology still has a long way to go. and if no ways government remains firm ground good will see significantly fewer tourist. the port kept and things that will have a negative impact, disabled l i for on that we're aware of that something has to be done before the environment, not in the but it's all happened very suddenly and i can hardly imagine the consequences i think so. so i fear for the lively to those of us living in these fuel. that's good in all getting it in tulsa boarding, the board. and if you're on the board captain, and many residents are there for hoping for

a transition period so that tourists can continue visiting the guy wrong, the fuel by ship for years to come let me introduce you to a once. that's a kind of performance collective 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 engine, the kings and queens and the direct collective showcase, the creativity and talent to audiences around the world. and they've received international acclaim over the past few years. we've caught up with the group in building. the rank syndrome is celebrating, they're a big premier in berlin. their brittany's 1st professional, drag collective for performers with down syndrome. the cd i get for 9 performing if and the more myself,

hey i'm nick, i'm a k a and he took sound dame or making to go i didn't wild a k i they didn't, they didn't look 3 as a loyal lady. she likes to look and show off the ga gov. well mix adam and the other members of direct syndrome take on different persona is went on state for them. it's a rebellion 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 vote, the exact same or 10 years i left on pharma. and if i were to do or that's fine,

it's 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 to get. 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. it doesn't matter. i'm just living with life. i'm just making the statement and it's okay to be free to you. i'm frank, right? you have, may have been in the b at the to do your own thing. that sounds like a message worth copying this year. we wish you all the best for 2024. thanks for
