see here, this is the member of the 459. i've got a gang, they often 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 of collapsing, perhaps 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're posing on the roof of police cars. and this is what it looks like when the smugglers send the migrants overboard or fences. a check, the smugglers themselves post the videos online drugs as a kind of an advertisement for their services. the hon for the traffickers

continues on the serbian hun, gary, and border. they've just received a new tip off. suspicious movement has been reported via radio reiko orders, the team to move out like it's getting bumpy. hold on tight visit the they find a campsite 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 it the so they use it to warn that were coming. they are, they need to get a few meters on the police find letters. and soon after people they've been hiding in the forest. the whole group is taken
3:36 pm
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. 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 grinds on with limited gains and no decisive breakthrough. at the same time. the number of f, the cheese in the country is sorry. many soldiers have 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 sees his life as full of

3:41 pm
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 perceives that somehow veterans are integrated and how they're and except just be somebody. we often talk about the new norms of the body, about the new aesthetics. how people with disabilities are included in our new norm . and the one on culture knows there's a long path ahead. she wants to set up his own business. one day he's prosthetic is constantly being readjusted. the position of his foot is crucial. at the clinic. she sees is every opportunity to try everything out. she now plays golf so well
3:42 pm
that he's been invited to a tournament in the united states. she feels there's no obstacle he can't overcome . and he has a clear goal in mind. clutch approve. i don't know what to say. oh, i want to go back to the front, those 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 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 sides boosting the local economy and contributing to a flourishing tourism industry. but as tourist, from cruise ships continue pouring to the bay of quote, or scientists like dark or kovachick, which are sounding the alarm,
3:43 pm
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, dark old cove 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,
3:44 pm
the value of quote or is one of the major tourist hot spots on the age reality. 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
3:45 pm
about a half a 1000000 taurus visiting each season. voters popularity today. oh is a great deal to write us off cho so the former tourism director here. but after retiring, he's taking a more critical stance on mass tourism. 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 at columbus gets. it got to be mobile, but you know, at 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. uh, uh, turbulent water. so we trade uh a month. and so settlement from the bottom is later this falls on a much wider area. and the facts are, there are organisms sometimes suffocating,
3:46 pm
suffocating, then i think we should that a to them or maybe to place dollar amount of available slots per day. so we get stranded 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 can even throw 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
3:47 pm
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 tiles 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 no way has us longest coastline and the fuel was the country's most popular tourist attraction to 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
3:48 pm
d carbonized the fjords from 2026 ships and world heritage fuel what's must be emission free. greenhouse gas emitting 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. judging up from the deep blue water, the pure landscape on norway's west coast is breath taking the beautiful. it's unique, natural environment. 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 their crew ships are 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 names off to the stall.
3:49 pm
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 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 and 2026 ships that burn this type of fuel will no longer be allowed to dock in the harbors. the ships on the cross ships cause the world's highest emissions per passenger and travel kilometers on your flip. some of you and they pulled it's our fjords. so that's what we have to look at the that's why all parties in the norwegian parliament have decided on a 0 emission policy post log on or inside of could all new notes with the industry . this will be a huge challenge. since most the cruise ships still run on diesel,
3:50 pm
but there are exceptions, like the you read the docked in another port in the guy wrong, or if your mikaela front, you only believes that admission free cruises 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 for the 1st time you use that, if you will, which is not the temperature about the executive refrigerator. and these will open up, we'll see before us who was 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 the, 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,
3:51 pm
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, one big engine, please click the switch. she would no longer neil m j, but it would go back to the diesel, which might give you a little bit more to co 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, people if they want to come into our fjords they've back the wrong force. because l n g is are from being a mission for the slip. it may be an improvement of 20 to 25 percent compared to other fossil fuels, and that's far too little. and yet i will hopefully that until now, only electric power cruise ships like this one had been able to sail into the fjord
3:52 pm
without emitting any harmful exhaust. and, 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 for on that we're aware that something has to be done for the environment. none the but it's all happened very suddenly, and i can hardly imagine the consequences of fix it all. 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 a transition period, so that tourists can continue visiting the guy wrong, the fjord by ship for years to come
3:53 pm
