. and animals can show respiratory symptoms of the disease problems breathing a cough or a loss of their sense of smell essentially the symptoms are the same as they are for people just in a much much lighter form. but it's not the symptoms themselves that are a concern here the world health organization has warned that animals including minks could become carriers for the corona virus and even pass it back to people last year 17000000 were called in denmark after some of them caught covert 19. the russian made vaccine called carney called could prevent that according to developers the country's veterinary and agricultural watchdog group said horse nods or began trials on rabbits dogs cats foxes and other animals in october now they say the job is ready for mass production. the vaccines developers say there has

already been demand for the job from businesses in several european countries including in germany. recommends the vaccine for animals kept in. close contact including out for farms and zoos they say that for now pets like these cats are very unlikely to become a risk to their owners. 4000 people no masks no social distancing it seems unthinkable think again london is making it happen the 41st brit awards became the 1st major indoor music events with a live audience in the u.k. capital in over a year the ceremony was part of a government program looking at bringing cultural events back without pandemic restrictions. research could sound so good that 2021 brit awards are music triumphantly returned to the big stage after the coronavirus hiatus and then from 7 audience of mostly essential workers this

in recent years a niche activity has been developing in the leisure industry. a far cry from luxury only food package holidays extreme tourism. just thrive on volcano when tornado hunters adventures in crisis areas and extreme athletes have all sought the ultimate adrenaline kick in some of the most dangerous places in the world. we are a little masochistic we want to take things to the edge. more tourism nuclear tourism disaster tourism the thrill can become addictive. 160 kilometers east of jakarta the volcanic eruption of krakatoa is in full flow. the group has already traversed the forest at any moment it could be hit by lava

rocks. rendel get the really strong can split into 2 parts really think as the owners and the impact left quite the crater. today they've just landed. he says to these rocks can weigh 2 to 3 times. $2.00 to $3.00 tons hurdling through the air at over 200 kilometers per hour some of them have landed just a few meters away from the group. no need. for less than that it is at the moment we can still go high up on you know well i think if the eruptions become stronger the rocks closer we'll have to relocate. everyone is in agreement nobody wants to turn back. this in fact i am

all jittery. in that this is really a crazy thing to do. you want a freight maze and you put that on the little bit but with a key i feel safe he knows when to stop and. the ridge here is only a few meters from the crater. about 30 meters away at the lava hits you know i was over with a. yellow belt. this crackling sound as the lava rock hitting the ground just meters away from the group but the group remains calm if. it will be in really bad luck if a boulder were to lash out here out of all places just the lego of. seconds

later a new eruption begins. a shower of stones falls near the group sophie just man just to jump aside. the rock should out of the crater over 600 degrees celsius but the cool down quickly. so if you want to the piece that just mr. don't like a souvenir from me that was so close. to the. you know there's everybody here sophie yes i'm here. i felt the shock wave is it when that day when the white hot rocks landed next to me i thought. fortunately it's not my time just plant. he isn't turning back just yet.

we're very close well wait for another eruption and then go back. you know why we still waiting for the next one. does everyone actually want to wait ok yes. you're nothing ventured nothing gained. high on adrenaline the group opts to stay just a bit longer. one last one. here it comes. the next shower a fiery lava rocks pours down. all right. the group is surrounded by glowing rocks. the priestess camera almost took

a direct hit. and miss johnny. and i stumble. i must admit i was scared i know you've been nominated to be laughing now but tomorrow we'll probably realize how close a cool but was ok but if this was. getting so close just getting quite dangerous. that's enough for the adventures today. krakatoa i was grand-slam on some butter crackers. thank you. if. the agency requires customers to have special insurance for one of these expeditions only regular customers who are aware of the risks are allowed on the trip. extreme tourists are on the lookout for scary situations so what better than to travel to

a war zone. kabul the capital of afghanistan one of the most dangerous cities in the world. the taliban regularly carry out assassinations as they try to regain power. and 2018 nearly 4000 civilians died in afghanistan. the targets are afghan institutions and diplomatic missions especially western ones . taking a vacation here borders on insanity. 52 year old ellen loves taking risks. the american has already attempted to conquer mount everest 3 times. a few hours before departure to kabul she sends a video this is the 1st time i got k.-r. insurance which stands for kidnap and ransom insurance so i've learned that i am now worth a $1000000.00 a colleague who knows i'm going on this trip and he said ellen you should be more

worried about this. at the airport ellen is picked up by an agency specializing in war tourism. i mean i think i'd be lying if i said. this is probably the 1st one where really. charging $2600.00 for 10 days the organizer provides transportation and accommodation. with the hotel is behind an inconsiderate us but armored door. no sign no advertising. barbed wire and guard dogs. ellen's travel group also includes william from new york and 22 year old from norway. the 2 men have already had their 1st scare. because the photo is you really just got to be nervous when the military stuff

like does he like raising his voice and getting more and more and i could say i don't know what's going to happen. while welcoming the guests their guide collars on who signing gives his clients a warning. the mid probability is true if this was later if you this is so good to see you don't know if you should tell me you're basing the book of the film so the business people of this would be a way staying in the. ministry next i provided it goes so. if you take over the of us truth in that the trust. cows are as provided local clothing for the tourists. anybody with a funnel or no. he's. dressed for adventure the group is ready to tour a couple. a city destroyed by constant warring.

the afghan conflict has been raging since 1988 with the taliban seizing power in the 1980 s. from the soviet union. since their subsequent defeat by the us they've continued to fight for power. decades of struggle have left their mark everywhere. this is the sort of the film so when you have the numerous feuding people. going there i can tell not in front of the camera. because it's political but. even though the american military is stationed here the i.a.s. and qaida still present a threat to the travelers. coming going particular is quite nervous about the looks the locals are giving. this

theory to so much and they didn't look happy when you see. it's mostly angry stares you find. so much. you don't feel like you belong here that's for sure i was there for too long. ellen on the other hand doesn't feel threatened and wanders away from the group. what do. you. guys. are traveling companions are becoming impatient i don't want you to learn to do it you have to go oh ok i'm sorry thank you very proud of her thank you. despite the poverty there are children's balloons and carousels ellen is thrilled.

going to ask her. to write these are good. p.r. . and express tour through a city scarred by poverty. at dawn the tour group leaves couple. next destination the mountains near by me on. this. since 2011 an annual ski race has been held there and the extreme tourists want in on the action. of the capital of ukraine. the

whole mall and davida are in their early twenties their passion urban acts urban exploration exploring cities and abandon places away from the typical tourist sites . the 2 students wait in their hotel until it gets dark. at midnight they set off. i think we have everything. we started out way too much. to celebrate having passed their exams they're not heading to the beach or contemplating clubbing their destination is more radioactive the forbidden zone of chernobyl the site of the worst nuclear disaster accident in history. on april 26th 1906 unit 4 of the power plant exploded releasing a huge radioactive cloud all over europe. over 9000 people died and 200000 people had to be evacuated. the area is still dangerous and as

a military exclusion zone. the 2 frenchmen set out at night to avoid police checks. is here for. the man in the military outfit as their tour guide igor who leads tourists into the forbidden zone for 300 euros. the area is a 2 hour drive north of here a journey into the unknown. 0 i'm getting nervous i'm excited we'll see. you when you're. under the light of the full moon they make good progress. for their own group. the military exclusion zone has

a radius of 30 kilometers. but all more and aviv have a problem because i'm curious. because there's. 6 scott. i igor speaks no french and only a little english which makes communication complicated. finally they march through the darkness. cut we're in survival mode we're not thinking about eating hooting drinking water or being tired. after 3 hours of walking the sun rises from here on out the group could be discovered at any time and arrested by a police patrol on. the way. if

that happens they'll be fine and have to leave ukraine immediately. cautiously walked all night it's gone now and we're trying to be quiet and there are some dogs somewhere as a distance from. communication with igor it does not get easier this is this is. this can you share this and use their weapons what did he say i don't know if shook thank you. in the middle of the forest they find traces. as of a soviet era hastily abandoned houses. and nothing has changed here for 33 years. breaking into the restricted zone is risky but for these 2 friends that's the fun of urban exploration 6. this is illegal but it's better it wouldn't be chernobyl

otherwise you have to like taking rests on the boys grew the police almost caught us a couple of times we're lucky. more it's like being in a deserted disneyland for the front on this little newsy the city. the other risk here is an invisible one. radioactivity. the trees here will be contaminated for at least the next 20000 years. contrary to all expectations many animals have reclaimed the exclusion zone over the last 34 years which has become a refuge for biodiversity. they set up a camp at 8 in the morning. calm all measures the radiation with a geiger counter. was also here a point 273 times higher than with paris off of the resolutions 3 times more chance of getting cancer. call mall and plan to spend the next 3 days in the tribal forest.

meanwhile back in indonesia things are a little calmer on krakatoa. the adventurers emerge after the dangerous night. today the group isn't feeling quite so radical. normally the crater should not be approached during the day as it's difficult to see the glowing boulders in daylight but one person is less prudent. on time a young russian covered in ash beams with excitement he almost climbed to the top of the volcano. stuns are flying everywhere i think you're right it. it was an experience that was an amazing experience and i love adrenaline stuff like that this was my 1st time on a volcano gonna. be careful. there live all those hours but they're like. a. 100 times nonchalance shocks the french adventurers in the group.

office i think the video will end up on you tube or something. maybe he wants to take pictures to post them on like it's just about views on you tube until something goes wrong. unlike the russian there waiting for the light to fade. well until their impatience takes over before nightfall the group has already crossed the forest a careful from here on as soon as eruption starts stand still and be aware of the. but this time the mood is different. that it's not safe you guys. the 1st adventurers remain behind. i'm not going up there i'm not feeling it i don't trust it at all it's way more

active than yesterday. half of the group decides to halt if if we're separating go i don't trust it he also going to me is going to yesterday we had a lot of fun and we were lucky but i prefer to remain here where it's safer he put his feet. he had promised not to go to the ridge again. but the tour guide is of the same spot as the day before. he has been on volcanoes for 58 years and several times has experienced burnt feet from molten lava and barely escaped death. everyone is relieved when he returns to her room and back. and that we forgive you this time. and they get lots of emotions of blowing him so he's it's quite nice. food is free i explain to you this morning that there is a certain risk there are. dog you are right to stay here all day why did i go on.

but i don't. see it's as if i'm on the view in such moments. i'm grabbing something from life something powerful because it was a full. despite his 80 years gives passion for volcanoes as undiminished. he's almost done friends of mine have died in volcanic eruptions. dying here is very realistic. but i'd rather die like theirs than slowly wasting away in a hospital or really live ok knows give me so much happiness and so much joy. if one day they ask for something in return while there's nothing wrong with that. i didn't go today immediately i know my limits and you learn as you go along with.

it because in doing this all you have a child and a wife at home as if you just got married. exactly and last night as i was falling asleep i thought of my daughter. another scary day for the volcano adventurers but that is what they came here for. because i had lots of energy from the volcano but i'm relaxed now. before slightly traumatized but it was so enjoyable and we want more or less we are certainly a bit masochistic but we want it that way. we want to scare ourselves. out of everything this may. be adventurous

plan to return again soon but crack a towable soon never be the same again. a natural disaster will change the region's geography forever. here to a disaster changed everything sure nobody. but these days it's become a lucrative business. tour operators are permitted to offer bus tours with strict conditions you will get through a simple day tour costs about 100 euros. the tourists are allowed to stay in the disaster area for up to 3 days. we cannot eat outside because outside e.u. reached us to be too small somebody's bills eat they travel in their hotel with your belongings on the ground and don't feed anywhere because in your things are continuing into the way back we will need to make up his own which are normal as one of the most popular tourist sites in the ukraine.

it's hard to say the numbers but now for example it's around 50600 peoples every weekday on weekends it's up 21001500 people future. the tourist group wants to see the remains of a natural disaster for themselves. they're all aware of the scale of the tragedy. when mankind is no i mean it was probably. the seeds of. the houses were evacuated at night at the time residents thought they could return after a few days but most of them didn't survive. it's estimated that 9000 people died as a direct result of the disaster. let it serve very significant place. it's like everyone should at least once in their

lifetime with the. noble and the concentration camps and just the freak human tragedies i'm here we can see. all the destruction that man can do. what the risks are still there and measuring the radiation levels a popular activity. level is particularly dangerous. 89 feet to the limit for ukrainians i know there is you know. it means that we should not spend so much. yet another way to get that adrenaline kick. like you terrifies. the forests are also contaminated to varying degrees. a few kilometers away the 2 frenchmen call and continue to battle on words. they've been going nonstop for 15

hours. as i shouldn't say stop stupid of me. but their journey is becoming more and more arduous. we don't have any water it's like for 3 months we won't make it back without water. they're in the middle of the trouble forbidden zone still kilometers away from their goal. back at cracker toa 3 weeks after geese tour on december 22nd 2018 an extremely rare geological event took place. a powerful eruption led to the collapse of the volcano which triggered a tsunami more than $400.00 people died tens of thousands lost their homes and had to be evacuated. in the days that followed the eruptions continue

sending up huge clouds of ash into the sky. he is back at it right away he wants to see the collapsed volcano and at the airport he meets his regular customers. it's a hell of a deal but bill i poked 2 boats and let them know where we are going a little bit. the indonesian government has imposed an exclusion zone around the volcano with a 5 kilometer radius. the group doesn't know if they'll be able to reach their destination. ignoring the deteriorating weather they rush across the sea and whilst some start feeling queasy the crew have bad news. little there's a leak. and the engines broken down but they will tell. with

the damage repaired the tourists are soaked but still in high spirits. after 5 hours they reach krakatoa which is now almost unrecognizable. into a full. length of the entire forest has disappeared. the volcano has shrunk. from 318 meters tall to 120 meters tall. a huge water filled crater is formed. the beach and all the vegetation disappeared. i believe that i never thought i would say cock on like this you know that he is keen to get going as you always so excited.

he wanted to be the 1st on the still hot earth and they were all willing to ignore the restrictions to do so. and made it go to the 4 of us. they are the 1st people to walk on the new. volcano. it like the 1st steps on the moon could be and this is they always dreamed of something like this when after 56 years of traveling into active volcanoes did we may have since the 1st time i've seen anything like it as you have all the awful it was that easy. and. although the eruption was only 5 days ago the tourists still want to climb the volcano. the newly formed terrain created by the cool lava flow is challenging and of course nobody knows the way.

at the summit he is deeply touched. off. you don't know how i feel. like the last time i made long. now they feel is the same thing that same happiness. for the rest of us i mean the truth the problem is i look at this and i get such a feeling inside of me i feel it right down in my stomach before you know it you. choose to you to cry caught. the eruption. and. the group relaxes but key remains vigilant. it's all right everything is fine right

now be ok let it go blow again at any moment. is it a yes thank him wait yes wait yes way yes as you should because i'm not a lover. then he changes his mind and ventures a little further down towards the crater the others follow him. off back to the sea voyage i wasn't sure at 1st if i should go alone goes well for it when he went off i couldn't stand that emotion was to give us a you it's clear to all of us that if the vote. no erupts now we'll die of the smoke. and you find that amusing most of the really yes a little bit. of it let's hope we survive a couple of the of the office he knows exactly how risky this all is. well all

crazy this is madness. 100 meters from the crater lake the group settles down these adrenaline addiction has won yet again. sometimes i ask myself what i'm doing and then i think i should stop for good but somehow i can't. for the tourists this is a unique and uniquely dangerous opportunity. just 50 kilometers away the tsunami caused by the eruption wiped out entire families in the fishing village of carita. on returning to the coast the adrenaline junkies are confronted with a harsh local reality. so face you look at his son died. it was standing outside the house holding him in the way and just tore

him out of his arms and swept him away. it's only now that the groups start realizing the scale of the tragedy. yeah. yeah to sit down and say this lady came up to me and started to cry showing me where her house was. we've just seen something charlie wonderful and then just hours later way here you know standing in a disaster area because this. if i wasn't expecting this obsession with. you know you know what the villagers won't receive any aid what would. i am very afraid of this volcano i am afraid that it will happen again i am traumatized and scared. that. i am little in the water took out thank you. faced with the scale of the

destruction he is mortified. company will start a fund raising campaign and send money. we discussed it before but honestly until you experience it yourself miss the tragedy. you can not be moved by. we have to do something. again as friends were the 1st to set foot on the new volcano but their adventure has caused a scandal which of course comes with consequences. they've been banned from future travel in the region. back in afghanistan the extreme tourists are preparing for the afghan ski challenge . from the word go there are already difficulties. in the vehicles get

stuck in the snow and everyone has to continue on foot. in the. paper for how this guy. yes it's fair because everyone is stuck down here so everyone has to offer. things a fair deal. this is a good distance race. i didn't expect them in. the situation is challenging. but the race is important for the afghans. the 44 local part. supplants have trained for months and want to beat the visiting foreigners. the winner receives $10000.00 afghani about 110 year owes more than twice the average monthly salary in afghanistan.

says the locals have a clear advantage effortlessly running through the deep snow. the tourists can't keep up with. the 350 meter climate 4000 meters above sea level is difficult enough but the weather is also closing in. one of the foreign participants are used to such harsh conditions. as they struggle to the top the 1st afghan sets down the mountain. the 21000 afghan ski champion finishes the race in just 26 minutes. meanwhile at the summit despite the vicious clay sure when the 1st tourists start

preparing for the descent. the norwegian has fallen behind. the facebook and you just you know you try just going to boys for the stars like most of them are hundreds are saying. i want to. suddenly collapses unable to get up. and. is in a lot of pain the american ellen reaches the group. she's a doctor and is able to setting a shoulder again. every. time

. the norwegian now needs to somehow master the downhill unaided. the afghan competitors reach the finish line. the travelers were unable to keep up with such speed. the 1st tourists arriving 14th and 15th place. more heard. that it we did it yes. you know us gives good challenge yeah. 15 minutes later an exhausted ingo also rides.

his tail skimming out there wasn't a focus i didn't freak everyone would be at a loss i like someone asked why we had to go but not everybody at the local. deserved victory. but the extreme tourists have also earned their moment of glory their presence giving hope to the struggling region of army on. despite the country's instability by me on plans to expand tourism in the coming years. back near chernobyl and home all continue to fight their way through the exclusion zone. after more than 15 hours on foot they're completely exhausted when they reach the next stage to go won. the cold war era missile tracking facility was abandoned after the turn noble explosion.

somebody'll reward for the 40 kilometer month special price. igor doesn't want to go any further. he suggests the extreme tourist should go on a lonely and. soon to be cynical. station there are still 20 kilometers to go when it's too dangerous to go alone. and of course you are not going to the village ones as you know it's too difficult your source so far is all since we hardly have any water that. we don't you manage half the distance with what we have and it will go. the 2 friends decide to give up on their goal to make it to prepare. their travel adventure ends here and do go one

. but for the guided tour noble tour of the trip is far from over and this soviet radar facility is just a stopover. there are definitely not. under the radar you might say. and if not why people are not so. they continue want to the city of creepy it only 20 minutes away with a guided tour takes them to a cinema. a gymnasium. and a fairground that was originally planned to open just 4 days after the explosion. it was once the showcase city of the soviet union a prime example of soviet architecture since the disaster it's become a ghost town. so we enter in quite a big city and there's not
