4:32 pm
almost as this about all of the other people in the values we would be more about freedom, the quality freedom of thought. i had i did that. so i left in recent elections about 30 percent of the voters chose the a f d, a party who sex any branch has been designated as of right wing extremist by germany's domestic intelligence agency. the f. d lashes out against other german parties denies human cause. climate change and campaigns against l. g b t q rights and refugees is coming. oh, i can assure you that perkins made heads, girls publicly supported dogs and other good for nothing's will not secure our prosperity, economic growth, and the social state prison. the grant is against the right or watching this right word. surge with great concern the they want to talk to local ac voters. they've got coffee and cake and information about the right wing populace. that's via and palm. if we can give out our information and
4:33 pm
materials to a few people so that later this evening, some might think it over in private and possibly realize, oh, i didn't know that. that would be the greatest thing, was the 3 of those, the horsemen found at the group and do that. and after journalists reported on a right wing meeting near berlin, there a if the politicians right wing extremists and some conservative politicians are set to have planned reporting millions of immigrants. todd's that was the is talk me. i think the fact that such a discussion happened was shocking and deeply disturbing. i dish and convinced me something has to be done. done with us come up to the group, started out with 18 female activists. now there are 41 they want to learn how to count or right wing populist arguments at practice
4:34 pm
sessions like these. almost all of them are confronted with racism and extremism on a daily basis and workplaces sports clubs and elsewhere. i was sure this high, but that's why we should speak up in this moment time hopefully by the most frustrating thing for the active. this is when their neighbors see them as the problem and not right wing populism. of things they all, when i draw my payments for the ground, these against the right, for instance, the campaigns were organizing and to do it. and i'm also confronted with like the silence score. people turned away and act as it hits us to while the problem is still as if we are the ones making trouble here. here, here was but the grannies aren't giving up. there's too much at stake. then they also might not anchored,
4:35 pm
i want my grandchildren to grow up in the same 3 tolerant democratic states that i did mention. okay, and now i'm so worried it's all going down. the drain, again, is through this door, because if i, let's go to the dates. but today, know a if the voters show up to check with them at their stand, despite free coffee, tea, and to none of the locals seem interested and decide to stay put inside. there's simply no dialogue between the grannies and do bins a if the voters pull, the grannies will be working over the summer to reach folders. had original elections in the stronghold of the ring. yet. and saxony of norway is known for its majestic fjords. narrow and lips that were carved out by glaciers. each year they dress scores of tourists who arrive on crew ships to enjoy the sites, but they leave a huge environmental footprint behind. the guy around graf yard is
4:36 pm
a world heritage site and is one of norway's most visited to protected norway has taken the bold decision to bad diesel fueled ships from 2026, captain frank goldman sachs and fears he will lose his livelihood as 0 missions vessels become the only ones allowed to sail in the waters majestic mountains, getting up from the deep blue water. the feud 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, or if your 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 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 the stall.
4:37 pm
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. the ships on the cross ships cause the world's highest emissions per passenger and travel kilometers. you flip some of your, 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 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
4:38 pm
exceptions, like the you read the docked in another ports in the guy wrong, or if your michela french you own, he believes that admission free cruise is our cost of the 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 assign, we use that if you and which is not the temperature about the refrigerator. 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,
4:39 pm
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, one big engine here, 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. people, if they want to come into our fjords they've back the wrong force because l n g as far from being a mission free to 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
4:40 pm
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 o'dell, the i for on that a, 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 fix it all, 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 boarding, 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 or by ship for years to come. this is,
4:41 pm
tell me a toe, a parish priest who lives in his spanish country side. it may sound like a tranquil life. the tale is in high demand. he attends to more than 40 churches in the region of zamora. it's one of many places where the population has plummeted over the past decades. it's a phenomenon known as empty spain, the tail when a group of youngsters are trying to breathe new life into rural areas. tale, the joe in his handful of keys are on their way to one of the 43 churches. he serves the parish priest them at least stay in the spanish province. of zamora, drive 50000 kilometers a year. got you. i mean, or as a necessity for recreation to the is is how do you believe this is one of the villages in his parish? 40 residents a graveyard and a church,
4:42 pm
a photographer wants to take some interior shots. the tail schedule is full and he has no time to stare. he moved to at least stay at 29 years ago from the provincial capital of tamora by choice. within any people in speed or i think that the rural areas are less important is or who died after a few years here. someone asked me when i would be promoted when i would finally be sent to the city in the literally didn't understand that i came here because i wanted to be here for the like that. but then yeah, can you spell out or give us that? i think the tail gets the church key to an elderly couple so that photographer can take his pictures. seniors like them to keep the village of the lives. of many young people move away. that does it almost everything used to be more humane. oh, now we're alone and need help with is the,
4:43 pm
the villages are emptying out. so tales. mission goes far beyond the religious as what was on this, i feel the create challenge, most restored dignity and quality of life regardless of each of the independent. we also need to few young people that they can have a trick here on the country side, getting and work. so whether it be nice to present brings to the dollars 15 kilometers away. 54 year old fathered yet to meet with them. young catholics, they come together from the nearby villages to pray and discuss problems. they loved the region, but many move away and not just for training and education. if that's the tower and the more emigrating there are so few of us and young people want to be with people . road age guy. yeah. printers are all the way. so that's why we're here. these thing you can count on me, tail tries to boost their self esteem with activities like this
4:44 pm
because i want the young people to feel more reachable for me that understand that living in the countryside is worthwhile, though, because how do you? yes, i feel no way. i'm only thing the distance and to learn a little, but maybe they'll come back one day, you know, to this village for another one to see what else you, what i said, i'll go in a flood of the harsh reality is the jobs and prospects are few potatoes here, opportunities for he would not keep up the struggle have you. is there anything in setting up the door so you have to be idealistic, not mind people after all, or the reason for the dwindling numbers here that my, that after the problems that come with them to and people have the power to fix the problem to solve approval, kind of what assume i know it's i will consume one of whether it's, i mean, quarter case at least the roads are good and the internet works. meetings are being held online like the one with the citizens initiative working
4:45 pm
for a functioning health care system. many of the state runs, enters are closed, they want to change that to some of the same as me, because that's the soonest that i, if the doctors here know clinics could reopen people from 30th his time would entice, more people to special him. that seems like, but above all, those who stayed would have propaganda. right? yeah, that's good. even i think they have a right to that does, i mean didn't did it to the evening j o is celebrating mass and marty on is on his own. he simply can't manage the services of all 43 churches, but he is assisted by other priest and the people here will not give up so easily. you know, it's good that give them a for the most li may not have enough firewood eyes, but we keep the embers alive to spread hope and then you'll see on if there's no one left click the last one to turn the light because it would do it as long as
4:46 pm
someone still lives here and you know, we need at least a glimmer and get him because he mounted in the shop of desperate outside positive details. the city priest who came to the country wants to stay. he's going against the trend, and many here hope more will follow his example. the leaning tower of pisa is world famous, but italy is home to 2 other structures that are off kilter. they are located in the heart of bologna as old city center, the towers of gary's end, and as the nellie dates back to the medieval times, and their age is showing, despite efforts by engineers to straighten them out, the towers keep moving, and officials fear they could collapse, it's hoped a new restoration project will help them find their footing once and for all. to 900 year old towers, sustan's slanted in the city of the loan, yet they've always been anything but straight. the larger one, tony, as
4:47 pm
a natalie is 97 meters tall. it's smaller siblings. they've got these in the tower tops out at just 48 meters and leading sharply. now there is real concern. the towers may collapse up with us and such as the locals have a bad feeling about it. it's really painful to see such an important historic monument in such a poor condition with someone. you know, i've lived here many years and over the course of time, i've seen the tower tilting further and further. it's a really important symbol of the new we hope with my stay that way and won't have to be torn down to ensure that doesn't happen. the city council has even brought 70 year old engineer that fail opportunity out of retirement. the expert on both towers. she leads the restoration committee. she's headed to the construction site together with her colleagues valuable for landing. but loony knows,
4:48 pm
there are 2 main reasons why the tower is thinking. it's suffering from a disease. it's had since birth. it was so bad that a 100 years after its construction was started. when it reached a height of 60 meters, 12 meters has to be taken off because it was already starting to lean muscle. yeah . and since then, it's selling a foundation that supports the $4000.00 ton tower, has continued to crumble. the area around the towers has been cordoned off in norman's. containers were set up right in the center of the old town homes. i never saw assigned to the committee recommended we set up this double stock of containers. tissue means that they've been studying the towers for years. federal med said it did we see this is how we're attempting to protect the surrounding
4:49 pm
buildings and the people who continue to pass by here take on seeing what the, the thought alex that the concrete anchors hold the containers down, steal nets or to be added to protect the church and the bigger tower. the city's historic center has become a permanent construction site. there have been rescue attempts before during the 19 ninety's engineers used on here in rings to secure the tower. and in 2021, the foundation was reinforced with steel cables to prevent further cracks. oh boy, bullying. we ought to observe the structures here and read it. here. we end here to is exactly little space. so there are gaps in the walls, thickness, p. e. got a quote as the bird and transferred from the walls above has cost an overload. so the phase is less resistant. until recently,
4:50 pm
the tower had always tilted towards the east, but that changed in may 2023. suddenly the pendulum showed today goodies and was leaning towards the northwest to. nobody really knows why this is where the pendulum is. it's the most visible instrument in the tower. so meet that it starts at the tip and hangs down to here is what up with the measurements the towers movement. i mean, thoughts are measurements system and shows how much is moving in the system. i think these are what i get to that community. point us to tower is the moment sir. it's always been a moment. the there are also acoustical and optical sensors as well as a gpi system at the top of the tower. it is likely the most monitored monument in italy. i think for some elaine salt, so no more is done with the state of the tower is very closely observed. at least we continually check data from the sensors, which deliver information on every movement of the tower in real time to speak. one
4:51 pm
thing is the planned reinforcing and renovation work is expected to cost 20000000 euros and continue for a decade to keep the tower standing for the next to 900 years. to moving into a retirement home is a step that's often rod with emotions, but not for bill wall. he loves his care facility in western england. it's an old folks home with a nursery allowing seniors and children to spend their days side by side. it's giving the elderly a new lease on life, and the kids a chance to learn from their elders. having fun is easy when this thing in the senior citizens residential sounds, can home loan chester, elderly people, to mention patients and kindergarten. children live together. there's children
4:52 pm
who sold people of the quality people all together. we will get together. i think it's absolutely from the testing, i call to my god, to be the being. wilton has at least as much fun playing as the children do. he used to be a truck driver at $84.00. he now needs assistance and has been living in this in to generational community for 2 years to visual. go over our v. that's easy, always to take a shift. rule piece. fail jim used used to be an engineer, he's showing 3 year olds, jacob, how to handle the trail. and these joint activities aren't optional for
4:53 pm
young. and the old and 9 joyce aston takes part as often as she can. what's the weight we come down, and that's just the they all seem to enjoy clean. this, me see here. the guiding principle here is that no one who should feel isolated. many or on a 1st name basis. the old residents, not also nothing lake hold brand friends. i'm very happy to share some of that life experiences with the children at the end. and they just knew how to do the same just to come to come to stay on the line. i think she's getting along with the residents and said it's so
4:54 pm
fast and big thing as well as the communication skills for them to, to, to watch them as well. so what, how she actually treats takes them and we get to see the front of the project is 2 years old, but it took several years to plan it's intergenerational concept is new to person. the projects found is hope that community will serve as an inspiration to office. we look to influence on we'll to improve this in australia and, and kind of working with the university on, on models in china. because everybody is, is, notice that there is a need for this bill who spends each afternoon with the kids. they call him abil stuff say the children, the com when he was that we knew it with,
4:55 pm
with believe david with what. but what we've seen in the last, almost 2 years now, has far exceeded expectations in terms of relationships in terms of 2 or i'm the last thought we have to this one secret santa, the success is that the elderly i'm, the kids are trusted to do quite a bit such as going for walks together, little cheer of children. that should be getting it traveling. it's nature every day with the children is a new beginning for e and a and a good day. oh we don't do. don't worry, don't, don't do where we're stay a dive in. don't you go away? you did. all right, that's all from is this. we get focus on your you can watch more of our stories online on our website at c, w dot com. thanks for your company. bye for now,
