3:31 am
through their controls and the area of smuggling people has to come to look into the business for gangs. the fully equipped and heavily armed reiko 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 we're heading towards the place in the forest which we called on mars cat, named after one of the central figure, whose name keeps coming up. omar's one of the main traffic or is handed, we thought we're going to stop now. and from here we'll approach the cap on footsteps and check out who's there is no reason to come for the proposal.
3:32 am
it's a game of cat and mouse, and serbia's forest the traffickers and migrants 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 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, or many of the traffickers are armed and work within criminal networks. the police approach the site in question with caution.
3:33 am
it looks deserted. there's no sign of the wanted smuggler omar, but a few meters further on. they find 2 intimidated refugees who i'm speaking with. the man or from syria, the name of the name of food i think 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. i take 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 years and 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 african gang have divided up the underground market. you can
3:34 am
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 of collapsing problems 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 games feel powerful and invincible as these picture show. here, they're posing on the roof of police cars a. and this is what it looks like when the smugglers send the migraines over border fences attract the smugglers themselves, post the videos online drugs as a kind of an advertisement for their services. the hunt for the traffickers
3:35 am
continues on the serbian, on 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, you say you said to warren, that were coming. they are, they need to get a few meters on the police find ladders. and soon after people they've been hiding in the forest. the whole group is taken
3:36 am
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 grid. 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 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 no adjusting to his new normal. he says,

3:42 am
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. could you put a note to say, oh, i want to go back to the front, those to my boys in my brigade, and i want to find are you up close to 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 the bay of quarters scientist live doubtful. kovachick which are sounding the alarm
3:43 am
. 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 archeologist, dark old cove chief inch. and marine biologist nicolo georgia, 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 and 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 to more to protect records like this one. it's one really popular sites and one thing that grow, i think the side of the trucks, the biggest number of divers in this area. the value of co tour is one of the major
3:44 am
tourist hot spots on the adria out in. more than 30 seconds, ships and airplanes can be found along the codes, some or more than 100 years old. darker 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. this is a bay 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
3:45 am
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. buddy 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. columbus gift that got to be mobile, but you know, at the university of montenegro, researchers, darko, and nickel uh, 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, where we can see here, the cruisers. they create a turbulent water. so we trace the money and we'll set them in front of the bottom . each latest falls on a much wider area and the facts are there are organisms,
3:46 am
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 while defense 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. 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 music jesus 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 writing
3:47 am
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 seemed 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 no way has us longest toast line and the fuel source of 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 the resolution to
3:48 am
the carbonized, the fjords from 2026 ships and world heritage fuel. it's must be emission free read house and 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 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 are 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
3:49 am
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 of starting and 2026 ships that burn this type of fuel will no longer be allowed to dock in the harbors to ships on the cross ships. 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 of could all new notes with the industry . this would be a huge challenge since most the cruise ships still run on diesel. but there are
3:50 am
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 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 use that if you will, which is not the temperature about the executive refrigerator. and this will open up a possibility for us who was off in the future with the end of the few as few as we too much know, we're going 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
3:51 am
. 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 types of about one big engine. if you click the switch, she would no longer neal 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 of the sleep fuzzy onto it, costs around $1000000000.00 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 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 i will hopefully that until now, only electric power cruise ships like this one had been able to sail into the fuel
3:52 am
or 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 nobody's government remains firm, got it wrong, it will see significantly fewer tourists. the port captain thinks that that will have a negative impact. reset. what else 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 pixel. so i fear for the lively to those of us living in these fuel that's going to logging in to a symbol in the board. and if you're on the board captain, and many residents are therefore hoping for a transition period so that tourists can continue visiting the guy wrong, the fjord by ship for years to come
3:53 am
to 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 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 premier in berlin. their britons 1st professional drag collected for performers with down syndrome. the cd i get for 9 performing if and the low my sales. hi, i'm nick. i'm a k, a in
