accelerating the high speed. that's absolutely great by 2030, the industry will expand by an additional 60 percent. i'll just take a detailed look at disposal fashion. we handle one hour at closing the hidden human and environmental cost way with the company give be what she's never going to know about it said boss fashion, all knowledge of you the hotel holiday and the war herself was our house. people were shot dead on the entrance to the hotel. i do remember time in hotels last shelled and started burning. stella

turned to the camera man. i said look the skin louder here. how have this place continued to function? shooting 3 and a half years. the stage again was the best to tell the people of the world what was happening in the i me. ready oh. ready sorry, a city of love art and music. but on the banks of the millionth go

river. the lifeline of bosnia herzegovina. history has also been carved in the heart of the balkan. this place has given birth to civilizations and people and witness was that of shaped europe. but this historic city where races, religions and ethnic cities have molded together was torn apart in 992 by a blood. it lasted for 3 and a half years and took the lives of thousands of bosnian, muslims, and crow at this distinctive yellow building on the front line. saw the siege and bloodshed closer, but also became a fortress for the world's media. this is the story of sorry, a bose infamous war hotel, the holiday in ah,

1982. sorry eva was preparing to host the 14th winter olympic games. 2 years later, the holiday inn designated for v i. peas and senior olympic committee figures was under construction before the hotel was built. the land was called circus plat, because visiting circuses used to set up that kenneth morrison is a professor of modern history at lester's de monfort university in the u. k. he's written full books on the balkans, including one about, sorry, a bose landmark holiday in the design of the building was quite controversial. that was designed by this thought able architect even strives to buildings. you can find all over the city, the skill model, the original skill model of the hotel was them was built in yellow,

was constructed of yellow plastic. but when the builders who were working on the building actually started to construct the facade and they saw that the facade was actually yellow, even that i said that the came is quite a short. they didn't expect the building itself actually to be yellow. bosnian architect, he then stress, came up with a new hotel concept which he called a city in a hotel which you have no need to leave. busy floors and corridors which will open into a spacious lobby, giving the illusion of greater size the holiday ins grand opening was on the 6th of october, 1983 with the president of the international olympic committee. one antonio, similar ranch in attendance, one of the few people who worked at the hotel since the start is high row rough channing. he's now the hotels executive director, down there in p k. very small center, southern gardeners below that,

below the hotel, was village for a moment to sceptre near below sneer guy. they are not sure if they're not. she said no, no, no, no, it's my favorite awesome. they're shut. the sneak bo berlin deck work to the translator. for foreign media and he's very familiar with the holiday inn. she and kenneth morrison visited the hotel while he was working on his new book about the reporting of the siege of sorry, april. for me, the hotter holidays was always very important. first for the olympic games, i was really young girl who worked for the for the guest. how was translator in hotel and in fact, for the 1st time when i get to the heart of holidays was during during the game. so the fist goes over golf. the you for your area winter limping was short little

diedro as it's hero. and mr. mendoza ross tito had led the socialist federal republic of yugoslavia since $944.00. his death in 1980 left a political vacuum, a worsening economic crisis, and led to a wave of nationalism in the early 19 ninety's, serbia, croatia, slovenia, bosnia, hudson, governor montenegro a. macedonia pulled themselves violently upon after the 990 elections in bosnia herzegovina, 3 main nationalists parties share and power. the muslim s. d, a led by elia is a vacovich, the serv, sds, under rather than courage, and a branch of from you to germans, croatian h. d 's ed. the s d a n h d 's ed wanted independence. while the serve as d. s. wanted to remain in the realm of yugoslavia along with serbia and montenegro

. so the relationships between these 3 parties soon deteriorated dramatically. on the 29th of february, 992 above me and independence referendum was held. the muslims known as both the x and the croatians, took a full part. but the bosnian serbs largely boycotted the vote and rejected the yes result. on the 1st of march, the same day a serv wedding party was sporting the serbian flag and downtown san diego. when it was fired on by a bosnian muslim gangster killing the grooms father, the family made for the holiday inn where a number of rooms had become the temporary h q of the bosnian serb leader rather than carriage. the bloody wedding episode may have offered the bosnian serbs the opportunity they've been waiting for that

same night, they began implementing what was effectively a dress rehearsal for the siege of sorry, a bow. barricades appeared. an armed masked man stalked the streets from his hub, but the holiday in rather than carriage over saw the action. this room room 5 studio, the suite was all seized by rather than cottages, the leader of the serbian democratic party rest. yes, he lived here with his family in this sweet cottage, his wife and his 2 children. and they stayed here until the shootings on the 6th of april, at 1992, where after cottage escaped from the hotel with his family. by monday, the 6th of april, a lodge, but peaceful protest, football and the in unity had made its way from the parliament towards the holiday and carriage there. but snipers on the upper floors open. fire was the engine list. some your courage was near by when the shooting started. i

remember when the shots came from the holiday and actually we heard cracks. we heard some noise. and then we, so people, you know, falling down, start to running everywhere, you know, hiding behind trees and some small buildings and everything. so i better stick way severely. hotel was a proud soul for them. and so for sally financials, name, organize in my name is spelled parliament up front to suit your property. if to be spotted with 6 civilians were killed on that 1st day of the siege. carriage it. she's gods and family escaped from the hotel, but both in police, arrested subs snipers in the lobby of the holiday in which then remain closed for several months. from here, the 3 and

a half year war erupted and spread across all above the governor. in april and may 1992 dozens of journalists had arrived in sarajevo among the experienced mountain bells. to be here tomorrow, negotiating from this very hotel. i don't see that. he and his crew 1st stayed here at the hotel, both ineligible. near the march in bel lives in north london. he left the b. b. c. in 1997 to become a member of parliament, and his now will unicef ambassador. but to those who knew an impulse near, he'll always be the man in the white suit. we arrived in

a great rush because the wood already broken out, and frankly, we were a day late. we drove in from belgrade, and the obvious place stopping place was ojo wasn't in elisha. the 1st major battle of the war took place on the 22nd of april 1992 in an around the hotel between the bosnian serbs and yugoslav, army on one side and the emerging bosnian muslim groups on the other. it lasted for 10 days. one camera man was wounded. another tv cruise rooms were hit by snipers and shelling martin bell and his crew were trapped inside the hotel without the journalists, guests and stuff. these red pitches shot by the b, b, c's, eric pow,

show balance crew doing a live link for london with may have going on around that morning. so we were on the balcony of the hotel. and while we were there, a huge battle erupted all around us. as they have passed, excuse me, but it is, it is difficult to see that working at the moment. that is not as you can hear around me, the real hall. and sometimes things happen and i filled the air above my head. somebody was happening to it, a bullet whistle by and, and, and suck air out of it. and it hit the wall behind me. if it, excuse me, i just want to break off because we've had somebody, i don't want to enter the criteria. and at that point, i turned to the camera men, and i said, look, it's getting louder here for our own safety. and we just closed down and went

inside. and that was the last time you did alive to way in a public space in bosnia, for the whole of the more on the 15th of may. 1990 to march in bell and all the other journalists left the hotel both and set up the new base of the holiday. in the summer of 1992, the serbs were tightening the new surround. sorry, a vote. and the shedding and like this were relentless and indiscriminate. the holiday inn had become the permanent home for hundreds of correspondence. photographers and crews. among them was poll, low and above me. in journalist, ominous abbot judge who had become his wife after the war. hiero rove, channing welcomed his old friends back to the holiday, and i think maybe the holding became the war hotel in, sorry, because of

a kind of accident, but also by design. because of its unique location, the center of the city, almost like this kind of fortress that you could look out from all sides on to the rest of the terrain. somehow or other. we don't have another quite sure why the hotel managed to keep the supplies of food coming in and managed to keep itself relatively safe. sheldon shot out on occasion, but in general it was seen as there's kind of safe haven in the center of the city hotel was very strange place. i remember and i came here for the 1st on it. it was just amazing. that was all this journalist there was a lot of them are experience. it was like little town in itself by the time i came back, which was a but the 2nd week in june, the holiday inn was more or less put together, but i stayed. and a flat which actually had a better view on the holiday and of the nightly pyrotechnics of the fighting.

ah, but i felt i needed to be closer to the gospel of the press court. so i also took a room in the newly reopened holiday and probably about the 22nd of june. and that's how i 1st came to live, and i loved the people in san diego. consider the 22nd of july 1992, the fiercest and bloodiest day of the siege. more than 3500 shells were fired across the city. that day. most pictures and video of the bombardment of the city were filled from the holiday and the hotel was hit directly several times by heavy fire from serve posts and go to bits and mount treble inch. the side of the hotel that you can see behind me was very badly damaged by shell and sniper fire. it was completely uninhabitable. journalist didn't use that side of the hotel

please him yourself. your competitor. i'm not sure why not just the gallery of the bill on these rare pictures filmed in may, 993, show the scale of the destruction inside the hotel where the main entrance and reception were the most dangerous areas. here was the 1st floor restroom, directly facing the front line. and here an exposed side entrance, a virtual no go area. the basement garage itself was shelton and so was packed with press cards and armored vehicle. but getting in and out every day was extremely dangerous. so there was a sense of this being

a concrete cocoon, which was completely false because people were shot dead on the entrance to the hotel. but you know, they were kinda setting on some unwritten rules. you didn't come in through the front entrance and that was what happens. the people who were shot, they came into the wrong entrance. basically i thought to myself, i've got a better chance of surviving if i don't enter the hotels through the main door, which was in the line of fire from subs opposite. and i had a further superstition as i was always walk to my room in the clockwise direction, however long it took rather than the anti clockwise direction. and it sort of helped to keep your life on the night of the 13th of november, 1994. the hotel was hit by a barrel of shells and smelling around causing a huge fire and terminal in among the journalists. i do remember time in hotel was was a shelter and started burning. at the time i was in the rotors office and very thick smoke basically overtook the whole floor on the 5th floor and managed somehow to

crawl out. for me myself. i spent a little time outside anyway, you know, so i felt safer when i came to the building on the 3 of the river. but the no, no, we didn't feel safe. there was no, no way we could have felt. ah, the main street between the holiday inn and the parliament building became known as the night behind me if my or both me or the dragon of both. now it's the name of the street. but 25 years ago. this was known as a sniper alley. this is one of the most dangerous intersections in inside the hotel south, immediately on 9th ali. and of course, the journalists were living in trucks imitate much of the sniper fire, which is one of the reasons why so much footage amity from journalists around this

particular area. they were located in the hotel. the snipers were particularly active in this area. according to 995 view in figures, 225 people were killed here, 60 of them children, and over a 1000 injured. during the siege, the foreign correspondents and photographers became a part of people's daily lives in san diego. on the ground, the conflict was relentless, but the world became increasingly de sensitized to people's pain and suffering. some like march in bel pull marshal and bobo liz dag stopped wearing flat jackets and helmets, while reporting amongst civilians. nita pulls on myself, works like jacket during the war on our regular work missions during the day.

because for him, as for me, was really decent to wear flag jackets in front of the unprotected people from who were in the street and who will completely exposed to snipers and shelling every single day. mm it keep, keep a cnn. yeah. now i'm going to get a minute which, you know, small and yet sort of go there. donna, donors from city severe course p. i live it's hope, sup, vicious kayla computer are many so little cardoso me it for currently, milly asked me, oh, i still photography tall. no. also captured moments of great power and poignancy.

his prime location was at the notorious night per intersection by ali pasha mosque on marshall tito street. here he took one of the iconic pictures of the siege of sarajevo where we're standing now was probably the most dangerous place, the entire city to sun. so when people wanted to come join the war to get into the main part of the city, they had to cross this intersection. and the only way you could do that was to sprint for your life. otherwise you would have been killed. the so i show from exactly this position because i was protected from this night that in the hill is if i move forward just a couple of centimeters that i could have been shot with from here. i was protected by the, the, to me and by the role. and i could stay here relatively safely. i'm sure it's

insured and shoot and shoot me stories about involving journalists and the people. i'm sorry, a church schalk was an american journalist, whom every one of the holiday inn knew well. me. one of the most dramatic scenes of the siege took place at lyon cemetery on the 4th of august, $992.00 shore. was there with a team from rocher covering the funeral of 2 children killed by noises. despite the shelling he tended to a badly wounded woman. then got her into his agency car and took her to hospital could sure reported on another tragic story. it took place close to the holiday inn,

of the notorious, been near bridge, and became known as the sorry, a po romeo and juliet. schalk heard about 2 bodies lying at the bridge. and he and semi courage went to get a closer look. we went to the scene, we had the we had to hire because it was on the front line, very, very frontline. and we so 2 young people laying next to each other and obviously that there was the famous, very well known story of cerebral romeo and juliet bush and admitted the couple who won. they decided they want to leave sarah sage survivor. he was a sort of, she was in woodland, they loved each other very much and they decided to leave. somebody probably told them that's safe to leave, you know, they were killed oh curt short became very emotionally attached to the

families of boscoe berg kitch. and as near the eastern edge, ah, he dies with death again 5 years later, when he and free, reuters and colleagues were ambushed by militiamen in sierra leone. in may 2000 sure can camera men, producer, were killed instantly. at his request, half of shocks, ashes were buried in sarajevo, the city of his beloved romeo and juliet. the main road to the airport is now named after him. ah, the siege of sorry, a vote lost in 1425 days. $11541.00 citizens were killed and many more injured. the siege was lifted on the 29th of february 1996,

following the signing of the dayton peace agreement. that ended the bosnian conflict. the holiday inn is still standing under new management and with a new name and remains a landmark and rejuvenated city. a symbol of the endurance and fortitude of the people of sarajevo, remembering their iconic war hotel holiday and sorry of it. it was the ultimate was in the hotel. it shut side blown away by shot and shell. apparently the lodging place from hill, and yet away from where the motor's fill, it did not just survive but constant spell. it was our refuge and it served as well . to let us, he ran away. it seemed a quest, more like ground 0 than appraisal, rest. by normal standards, it was quite the worst, but it to us was and folk,

it seemed the best we, the believers, they, the infidels in this most dangerous of all hotels. and those who stayed that were uniquely blessed. ah, ah, i no place inside gone was say press brit treated of the car about a media hub and vital vantage point during the 1st truly televised war from the roof, we could see the declaration at the american embassy where the most iconic images of the conflict and vietnam were transmitted to the world. this was the front row seat to the final stages of the war, saigon, caravel, a new episode of war hotels on al jazeera. we understand the differences and

similarities of culture across the world. no matter why you call. i'll bring you the news and current affairs. ah, ah, me joe biden and vladimir came drop out fare summit n haley constructive and positive, but differences remain. ah, no, this al jazeera line from don't fully back. people also coming out. police in hong kong arrayed a pro democracy newspaper and the restaurant executives there suspected of endangering national security. a car bomb goes.
