they stop believe the 13 year old yet demonstrators say they won't quit as long as bad vision is in power but his supporters don't care the economy is humming along and they don't want the e.u. telling them what to do. this is deja vu news live from berlin up next doc film looks at thailand the holiday paradise danger i'm brian thomas from the entire news team thanks so much for being with us i'm rita will join you again at the top. 6 for state school in the jungle. the 1st clinging lesson from the doors grandma with arrives. joining a reckoning on her journey back to freedom. in our interactive documentary tour of

an orangutan returns home. come to tanks. it is thailand spectacular rocky islands. fine grained sandy beaches chick corea's blue water. just how you imagine a holiday destination more than 9000 kilometers away from cold old germany. and this is the reality tourists flocking to sites like the famous james bond on and where roger moore for the bad guys are as secret agents double 07 today it's all about selfies and self-expression. the images of when you see these guys walking around in swimming trunks it was

a little undignified i'd say this isn't good because it's a terrible mess but it was to be expected it was marketed that way to. thailand's drain beaches are suffocating in plastic garbage. untreated waste water is discharged straight into the sea. tens of thousands of smokers explore the underwater landscape and cause a record all damage to the sensitive coral reefs by trampling all over them. in the last 2 yet we have found that more than so with these so we are both in bed mish at every damage so all we expect that if we don't do anything we'll probably all mall and mall. so how much damage has mass tourism calls that are questioning.

it. the 1st stop on our journey is the town of the cat in the south of thailand most vacationers here head to the beach but charmed. the wide sandy bay fascinated us when we came here for the 1st time 8 years ago. fun on the beach and a bit of adventure to paint. vacation dreams.

but the number of tourists coming to thailand has more than doubled since then now it's more than 34000000 people every year what changes has that brought about. the next morning we see the downside of masters a local diving instructors regularly fish garbage out of the sea by the suck lot. their business depends on keeping the natural environment as intact as possible. what do they find in the sea nets from the trawlers emptying the sea off the tongue of fish. of course fresh fish is a food staple for both the locals and the hordes of terrorists.

but diving instructor dave wilson says the fishing nets are endangering the coral reefs off the coast. so it depends on the. if it's a if it's a rope type net then they can call and eyes up but if it's a plastic type that doesn't cause a lot of damage that's because a lot of the polls. that settle on the front child carls and literally. dave wilson has found along today in addition to all the other plastic garbage triangles single use plastic this is the biggest threat to the environment. at the moment and a lot of people's opinion. stuff plus the bugs. the rockers the plastic bottles come in. so with the way they just get blown away into the say . yes to have again more examples of that.

and some of the garbage generated by millions of tourists is increasingly choking the cats once beautiful beaches. and. even the monkeys have learned to drink from plastic cups. the internationally renowned marine ecologist tom come on now has been studying the effects of plastic waste on the ecosystem for the last decade. the 1st thing it is the big question is does come with the koranic and covert ahora so if you're president. breathed get the ax yeah the water movement is stopped

because it's from a cold war like a human if your birthday. you cannot so why that is one big problem and also the met i think is mean although sort of fishing net or something like that nylon or something like that cracked a bit hollow and with the coloring peg it out in real strong strong enough to crack all the horrible. cut ourselves we want to find out what consequences the increasing environmental pollution caused by tourism has for the call reefs off the cat so we join a diving trip to the island of cobra charge. so we can forget about spending a quiet day alone in that natural paradise there are dozens of ships out back.

in 2010 we want to correct chad for the 1st time and found an underwater world of an chanting p.c. . home a leopard check harmless to humans. the. elite. only. eat me in the orient huge sponges and colorful corals on the sea bed looming and the in the in. the you know. little. of others how's it looking now

what has changed for us in you our 1st impression. the underwater world is still in many cases species rich and beautiful. but we were still more impressed by the diving here in 2010 than we are today eat. now the water is a lot claudia and we find garbage in many places on the sea bass. and the coral is showing the effects of climate change as well. if the water is too warm it eats away the sensitive corals. but sewage garbage and too many divers are also eating and mark. a carpet of plastic waste is floating on the surface of the water the current has

pushed the garbage from the open sea into the bank. it's becoming more and more common. in the late afternoon we return to the fantastic island walled off to catch. it. for the next day we booked a trip to the p.p. islands probably the most beautiful islands and southern thailand. la we start with some shopping into cat harbor we're supposed to buy bathing machines that will protect us from shop edge corals a pack costs around 8 euros and a lot of being sold. to. us.

by the bad guy that. let us. at last we searched all for the world famous islands. the music on board fights with the sound of a $500.00 horsepower engine. on the way least for a. few people on board have ever had anything to do with masks and snorkels and a lot of them can't swim either. one speedboat after another very close to the race. thousands of tourists every day trashing the fragile race.

for decades carl polyps have built up their brief millimeter by millimeter. now and a lot of that mr straw it in just a few minutes. is really hard to meet that people understand how to be f.b.i. and that's that. but they don't know that they don't understand that. whatever that may be treated them before so they don't have any and they're standing about a forest because the back country they. knew. the

a in. if you. will please. name. the way. the b.b. islands are actually especially protected national park. but since the organizers of the day trippers discovered them for themselves millions of tourists have been visiting the picturesque rock island and killing off nature by day.

next stop the so-called monkey day a real tourist attraction. today we see 3 monkeys on the rocks with tourists on 6 people it's crowding around the best photo spot. of the. last year we have more than 2 quite tree 1000000 at the p.p.i. lab is only 14 square. area and the coral reef. you know matter so you can expect that ad when the crowd i think the p.p.i. that maybe the most we see. the

consequences are devastating. andrew hewett runs. dive center on the p.p. islands. and prepare to accept that she would and his team have been monitoring the state of the underwater world for years repeatedly diving to count the corals and document the damage. again today andrew hewett is on the way with his underwater camera in the popular diving areas.

we need to read respect that the more people i'd like ation the more impact it's going to have on coal reset there has to be a maximum limit that we can. have people visiting an area he wants to kill it's all if we just let it go and let people do whatever they want they can get out of control and you can see there's a big difference in the health of the callers when there's too many people. for the fast time the thai authorities have reacted to the world famous my up a where the movie the beach with leonardo dicaprio was shot has been closed to tourists for several months to give the corals a chance to recover. i think i have mixed feelings about it i think it's very good that we do things like that. but if you just close one area then you have to expect that all the people that go

to one area then going to go to another area and put pressure on another area. you can see why. happens here on the main island. since maya day has been closed the day trippers are brought to this speech by noon it turns into a gigantic speedboat. at the beach it's a short walk into the village. and maybe some fast food before we move on to the next attraction. to the people who live on people get from a day trip. restaurant which offers thai cuisine at reasonable prices.

overrun by tourists he's fighting for his existence. any tourists come here. the restaurants that have the most guests are on the beach. the tourists always want to keep. they're afraid if they come into the village get lost. is the only island here that has permanently inhabited the thousands and day trippers have not brought prosperity to the people here. tourism companies earn money from the excursions but the locals often only have jobs at the time minimum

wage of just. a day. the interior of the island looks like many places catch waste disposal is a big problem. this old man is trying fish one of the local staple foods he sells it to his neighbors he tells us. he says he's doing it because he doesn't know what else he can do to earn a living. he tells us the flies are particularly annoying so he has to keep the fish in plastic bags to keep them away. but if. there was how. our.

low incomes are not the only problem the people on people don't have. the island's exposed location means it's also prone to natural disasters we notice signs saying evacuation route if a tidal wave a tsunami is heading towards the island both locals and tourists are supposed to flee to safety but where is the escape route actually lead. we follow the signs. after a few metres it ends at an iron gate at a death trap in an emergency. escape routes were set up after the last 3 nami with international donations but today the danger seems to be forgotten and not only on the p.p. islands. december

200-4700 people died as a result of the tsunami on people don't. a few 100 kilometers away in the tourist town of it claimed more than 3000 victims. holidaymakers filmed the video cameras. but today almost nothing and. catastrophe. the force of the tidal wave held us coast guard patrol boat a kilometer into the hinterland it was left as a memorial and the tsunami memorial museum was built right next to it.

the memorial lives from the nation's russian one tom to the curator tells us. these photos from december 2004 show relaxed by this and in the background the incoming tidal wave. the museum does not only want to remind people it also wants to make the more higher of the danger because there is little time left after a sea quake before the tidal wave reaches the coast. this graph shows how the 2004 tsunami spread. but what the authorities in the tourist resort of learned from the catastrophe. we know which is that almost the entire coast is covered with large hotel complexes. the guests there will be the 1st victims of hotels pat. are there any emergency plans.

and. had any plan. people. come in. we have been all. army time that we have to. i'm not about the escape routes that we're stablished with international aid after 2004 to the people who take the danger seriously we follow the signs again. we're not far from the nearest shelter. thousands of inhabitants and tourists should be able to find safety that. we eventually find it. it's full of furniture. and there's an elevator for the disabled but it's derelict the power hasn't worked for a long time. after

this enemy we have. fought. now. and know all that. creation. now. many are. and many of it is not korea where. we can move. the lessons of the 2000 for disaster seem to have been forgotten. we continue on to the next destination of our journey the plan not national park. our excursion here is well organized for us we explore the small base but have a boat that's

a source of income for the locals. a boatman here about 13 years per day which by thai standards is a wage they can live on. nothing. our next stop on the tour is a case. that . are. now at low tide when the water level is low we can pass through the cape to the

interior of the island. and on. but we're not alone here either. dozens of tourists from other excursion boats are also here marveling at the bizarre rock formations and the mighty mangrove roots. the travel brochure says will get lunch here at copa meet an original muslim fishing village built on stilts in the sea.

the original village quickly turns out to be a collection of tourist restaurants and see the near shops after all 10000000 visitors pass through here every year. all of them pay the $2.00 operators a flat rate for lunch so the locals get little benefit from it. after lunch we look at the see the new shops. shock's teeth are very popular this year. this $1.00 costs around 40 euros but german customs duties will increase that price several fold shark sharks are a threatened species so just like corals and shells this object to the convention on international trade in endangered species of wild foreigner and flora and the import of the souvenirs to germany is prohibited. otherwise you can buy t.

shirts caps and scarves just like everywhere else. finally hidden at the back of the village we find the locals harth they are muslims so perhaps they are bothered by the lightly dressed europeans. this local asks us to buy a souvenir from her she lives off the train she says and has no other income. and they. located.

2 hours later we had off to the high point of our discussion. this is probably the most famous walk in the world. watching more alias james bond shot scenes for the movie the man with the golden gun here. but today the villains are all gone all that is left are thousands of tourists who all want just one thing . a sufi to show that they were there.

because how do you like it here. you know it's ok ok and all the people terrible but it was to be expected it was marketed this way. what do you think same here the same but still beautiful. but that's another thing we should have come another time perhaps in the morning or evening. but would that have helped. the crowds of tourists surged through the small island from early in the morning until late in the evening. was this when you see these guys walking around in swimming trunks

a little undignified i'd say. unsettling group. at the other end of the island there are more souvenir stalls selling the same travel through than the us for which the seas are planned it. like this tiger shot . james bond island and the pun non-national park. income as the island is really called is a natural jam that has degenerated into a tourist hot spot. we

saw for the last stop of our journey before we returned. we reached the island of cooktown off the southeast coast of china and. when you see these beaches you can hardly believe that cotto was a prison island until 947. today it's more about wellness time as such as a specialty here young people and scuba divers are particularly drawn to kowtow. we remember the pictures we shot here in 2010. of. the old.

man. and realized the way there was an abundance of fish. a bowshot crossed. shouldn't get too close to them sometimes they also attack people. who are. back to the present. simon dowling and dorothy lu from environmental association in cocoa tau take us

out to sea. they want to show us what's changed since we 1st came here a whole fleet of boats awaits us at the dive site. diving is a massive venture thousands crowd the few new dive sites. the a world of the union suddenly become across a whale shark the biggest fish in the world it's harmless to humans. in the in mean you know all the divers are completely over the moon. but now we see the consequences here destroyed coral.

there are definitely too many tourists here if we could limit the number of terrorists or change their marine status it would help a lot. and limitation as well fishing is also a big impacts on every his mouth we sail back to her town. we're always under observation because our shoot on the island is strictly monitored by the tourist police were meant to just show the good parts. of west secretly shooting these pictures from the garbage and many tourists ends up in islands interior and unofficial dumps like this. the waste water flows untreated into the sea in many places. $1500000.00 tourists

visit cutout every year. the sea is polluted which also damages the corals. in the afternoon we meet dorothy leaf from the cocoa tower again. she's welding a metal construction the point of which is not immediately apparent. close. though the steel structure in the shape of a triple masted chinese junk for our garden in a junk yard not official reef. this is the plant carlo branches are placed on the metal structures of the time they grow into an artificial reef. and.

it's hard work. and a vigil pieces of healthy coral are tied to the construction where they grow over the years. it will. be. many diving tourists now look at the artificial reef in all. but don't know if we do our part to build and expand the artificial reefs then you know i think it gives the other dive sites a chance to recover. as we drive back from the town to cairns we think. this could be one way into the future artificial coal reefs as an attraction for driving tourists to take the

pressure off a natural environment it's a great idea that has already become reality on qatar. on the way back we constantly meet the fishing boats that are overfishing the sea. every morning fully. maiden trouble a school a child on to catch fish and put their catches offloaded by the time the. millions of tourists want one thing above all else fresh sea fish on their plates the fish are sorted according to size on the key signs.

of. any. light wholesale. still in the here and. the pike. not. fish has become expensive cat this is especially true for the larger fish which go directly to the tourist restaurants. the smaller ones are sold on the market. that's the real problem says the buyer. would be. meaningless namely unless. business is tough in order to catch the coveted big fish the tourist stay at sea

for days on end. the fishermen themselves and then leased from this business. many of these guest workers from neighboring me and not. they get just 2 or 3 euros a day they say but nobody will confirm that in front of the camera. the tourists who have my of a fresh fish and know nothing about all this. parrot fish for example typically inhabit coral reefs when they are caught the nets destroy the corals. one of the fishes and then prepared in the restaurant for a small fee. and

on the beach right behind a restaurant. this place looks like so many other places waste and sewage from restaurants flowing untreated into the sea. what would be the best way to further develop tourism in thailand the pacific asia travel organization which is committed to responsible tourism says the government in far off bangkok is planning to increase the number of tourists to 15000000 per year. large companies are the most from the hordes of tourists while the people here at the time beach work in the kitchens for minimum wage or sell chilled drinks on the beach.

it's already crowded enough at the beach and high season. more tourists. to tang's man. is aware that tourism is the most important source of income. nevertheless she's worried about the plans coming out of bangkok. but up in joy all killed you all and it has already and there's a lot going on in high season that. by the way my think it's ok right now but is that why you but if more come it will be difficult jackie and when i get as far as the water supply sewage garbage and transport are concerned and i think we are already at the limit and met half. the country needs rational and sustainable tourism development policy she says development that takes not only

economic interests but also the interests of people nature and the environment into account. otherwise thailand will soon cease to be a troubled paradise. place . eco india the poisonous business of tunnelling leather it's time the environment and people for many decades. now know it can come true in this new technology might detoxify the industry with a simple olive leaf solution no longer toxic but even at about.

30 minutes. in the thick of it agriculture is in crisis. climate change land speculation and harmful pesticides are threatening the livelihoods of countless farmers margin etic engineering more organic farming or even. what's the future of agriculture made in germany 90 minutes on t.w. . he takes it personally. with wonderful people and stories that make the game so special. for all true fans. far.

more than such a long line. this is news coming to you live from berlin one of the leaders in veterans gathered to commemorate the historic d.-day landings that's the true end was war to. old people lying in the cemeteries that. this is what goes through my head when i visit them on d.-day. all those people died for us so that we could live in peace.

300 veterans will join some 600000 people in told in southern england to mark the 70.
