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 a lot of. the waves was the same thing that same happiness. for the rest of us i mean both of which are 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 and to krakow. eruption. and be a group or a lexus but key remains vigilant. that's all right everything is fine right now he

does get his go blow again at any moment. say yes thank him. yes we're yes we're yes yes you should because i'm not alone. then he changes his mind and ventures a little further down towards the crater the others follow him. off the edge of the sea voyage i wasn't sure at 1st if i should go alone north well fit when he went off i couldn't stand that emotion also give us a year it's clear to all of us that if the volcano erupts now we'll die of his will . and you find that i'm using less of a belief yes a little bit. of it let's hope we survive a little clip of his office he knows exactly how risky this all is. well all

crazy this is madness. 100 metres from the crater lake the group settles down these adrenaline addiction has won yet again. and 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 cutty time. on returning to the coast the adrenaline junkies are confronted with a harsh local reality. sophie's. his son died. the day they were standing outside the house holding him in a way 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 it's to sit down and say ok 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. if i wasn't expecting this obsession with. the narrative why the villagers won't receive any more it would help but it would it never did i am very afraid of this volcano i am afraid that it will happen again i am traumatised and scared. and. thank. you. little in the water took out

a home thank you only do that we're not faced with the scale of the destruction he is mortified. our company will start a fundraising campaign and send money. we discussed it before but honestly until you experience it yourself or witness the tragedy. you can not be moved by the 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. and. 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 and. right now this guy. yes it's fair because everyone is stuck down here so everyone has to offer. things a fair deal. this is the race. i didn't expect. the situation is challenging. but the race is important for the afghans. the 44 local participants have trained for months and want to beat the visiting foreigners. the winter receives 10000 afghani about 110 euros more than twice the average monthly salary in afghanistan.

the for the locals have a clear advantage effortlessly running through the deep snow. the tourists can't keep up with them. the 350 meter climate 4000 meters above sea level is difficult enough but the weather is also closing and. none 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 glacier when the 1st tourists start

preparing for the descent. the norwegian has fallen behind. the fleet but i just you know you can try just going to boise the stars like most of them under. me. suddenly collapses unable to get up. is in a lot of pain the american ellen reaches the group. she's a doctor and is able to setting a shoulder again. 3. feet

. on. 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 arrive in 14th and 15th place. more harm. then we did it. you know us kids get challenged yeah. 15 minutes later an exhausted in go also arrives.

and scale skin you know there wasn't a focus i didn't freak everyone would be at a loss i'd like someone asked why we had to go but not everybody in the local. 7 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 miyan 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 chernobyl explosion.

some little reward for the 40 kilometer. special price. igor doesn't want to go any further. he suggests the extreme tourist should go on alone. so you could be sitting here if she should go but station there are still 20 kilometers to go when it's too dangerous to go alone. and look what you are not going to the village just you know it's too difficult or force with our us all since we hardly have any water. we don't you manage half the distance with what we have and we'll go. the 2 friends decide to give up on their goal to make it to prepare for. their trouble adventure ends here and do go on.

but for the guided tour noble tour the trip is far from over and this soviet radar facility is just a stop over for the redone phenomenon or. under the radar you might say. and if not why people are not so. they continue want to the city of prepared 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

a sound just the birds. the highlight of the tour is to get as close as possible to the scene of the accident reactor unit 4 at the nuclear power plant. since 1906 the power plant has been surrounded by a huge protective shell called the sarcophagus and in 2016 a 2nd protective layer was added more than flying in. a souvenir photo in front of the old town sign. oh well. before leaving the site each visitor has to pass through a security gate with detectors that measure radioactivity. almost $100000.00 visitors come to term normal every year it has become the epitome of disaster tourism. but one extreme trip could top this. one already

planned destination that's out of this world. a space station. in rare earths fresh from the field. thanks to phyto mining plants are used as an eco friendly lining to this valuable metals found in the ground that will soon be on these leaves as well. in the lab the enormous potential of these super plants is on full display. tomorrow today. in 30 minutes on w. . h.

this is state of the news live from berlin another tense standoff asked the conflict between israel and the palestinians moves into a 5th not. threatening war jets pound hamas targets in gaza the air force also strikes underground bunkers the launch pad it says for brokered attacks on israel and on the ground deadly clashes between militants and israeli security forces plan just a mission to mars that mystic mission accomplished trying to land a spacecraft on the red planet for the 1st time the largest bold step in its good

singing space program. i'm anthony held welcome to the fighting between israel and palestinian militants is locking up the skies for the 5th not running israeli jets have continued to pound hamas targets thousands of reservists are on standby for a possible ground invasion of gaza while the death toll is mounting palestinian president mahmoud abbas is condemning what he calls brutal and programmed killings israeli prime minister is warning that hamas will pay a heavy price for launching a rocket attack. in an instant the 6 story building is reduced to rubble. all throughout the day and into the night. explosions reverberated through gaza city as israel intensified its onslaught against hamas.

as the conflict escalates hour by hour gazans are fleeing their homes with whatever they can carry some have come to this school run by the un in search of a safe place. that we were planning to leave during the night but drones and jets kept bombing us at dawn we started moving and ran to the schools our children were screaming they wanted to get away when we woke up we found everything behind us destroyed there's nothing left. and many israelis too are living in fear. just north of gaza the city of ashkelon has been hit repeatedly by hamas rockets. it has been very stressful but we are following the government's instructions we have faith in the

army and our creator. gaza is not israel's only front in an intensifying conflict in the west bank tensions new highs as palestinians exchange rocks and gunfire with israeli soldiers for the 1st time this week palestinians died in numbers on the streets of the territory. the united states has sent a diplomat to try and broker a cease fire between israel and hamas but as flames and fighting spread across the holy land peace seems like a distant prospect. let's get more now from michael fritz in the 2nd of director of the media line an american news agency covering the middle east mr freights and we see civilian suffering on both sides and no signs as yet of deescalation what's going to break this cycle of violence. cycles or repetitive

patterns it's nice a magickal warfare so you have what it one point was a ragtag bunch of people firing on an organized army now is itself a pretty sophisticated bunch and the warfare gets more gruesome and costly as the technology grows and now we're seeing drones and the like which is the of course changing the syrian backed up considerably this can stop as quickly as it begins with a diplomatic solution and the nations of the world are trying to get together now to get both sides to consider that what they've done already is enough for this round and tragically they're talking about this round not about. arguably the u.s. is the only one with leverage to do you see it that why and if so is it doing enough with that leverage. well i've spoken to a number of israelis who don't think so they believe that the united states should

be the honest broker should be considered the honest broker not withstanding any issues that arose in the previous administration they feel the u.s. has been a little slow on the uptake in that they could do more however having said that the administration wants to take a more global approach it's important for many in the american government to see that the allies in europe in particular play along with everybody else and become important to the ultimate outcome of what's going to happen and perhaps that can be more of peace and less of a time out from the battle. from where we are now it seems difficult but can you imagine a peace process yeah that's how it is hard to imagine but you know the several countries that made peace or normalization with israel did so at great risk to themselves in their own neighborhoods and they certainly surprised

many by the fact that they have done it and we're not hearing any negativity or not really much negativity from them now in the 1st test under fire so if we can stretch that point maybe we have something we can see as a glimmer of hope for the future. michael for it's an all of the maybe a lot thank you very much pleasure to be with you. well a vigil against anti semitism has been held in gillson here in western germany earlier this week demonstrators shouted anti jewish slogans outside the city's synagogue but today supporters rallied in solidarity with huge communities places to make that around 300 people a spokesman for chancellor angela merkel says germany will not tolerate any semitic protests after a recent anti israel demonstrations in a number of cities where it's ready flags were burned and crowd shouted and the

semitic slogans. so what measures are being taken to ensure the safety of the jewish communities in germany question we put earlier to felix klein the german government commission on anti semitism. well it's appalling to see that this kind of hatred is expressed towards german jew was and synagogues here in germany to make them responsible for acts of the israeli government this is not acceptable at all and of course the police and security or thora tease or well the situations also that suit curity measures for the synagogues and jewish institutions in in germany have been enforced and i hope that any perpetrator who commits anti-semitic crimes will be. will be charged and will be held responsible for what's being done now for some of the other news

kicked and it was designed to gently guide the probe to the surface of mars. rover on board will explore an icy area of mars known as utopia plenty shia it was formed by the violent impact of an asteroid about 4000000000 years ago past space probes have discovered large amounts of frozen water under the surface here an enormous layer of ice lies only a few meters below the surface with the radar device can precisely measure the underground ice there over was named after the chinese going to fire 8 days after landing when diagnostic tests are done it will go into action for its scientific measurements be sure ron has 6 and 3 minutes on board one uses laser beams to examine the elements in behalf of nasa as to mars robots have similar high tech equipment on board even though nasa is research takes years mission will be short

crude 3 months the rover will explore the surface of mars. just measure its magnetic field and study the properties of weathered martian rock the probe will then forward the collected data back to the ground station in china this information will not be available to international mars research as is usually the case critics are unhappy about china's plans to withhold the data. back on earth and before the pandemic venice was overrun with tourists and wanted to restrict the number has now though it has a very different problem and the streets and waterways in a city that depends on tourism well did have these masks and the reports on how venice is looking to strike the right balance as it re-opens the business. a gondola ride is probably the most romantic experience you can have here in venice even for veteran motorists you are a little or you. move up or so when we take someone with

a story we try to make them live the dream. he is one of the city's roughly $600.00 s. usually carlotta would do 3 tours a day but the democrats practically run him out of business. from october to now i've only done one run this city just came out of a lockdown but said marks we're still eerily quiet the world famous remains closed during the week over the years venice became almost entirely dependent on tourism and the pandemic with its travel restrictions and lock downs for the way the issue these cafe is here once popular tourist destinations are not closed due to a lack of customers but now there seems to be some light at the end of the tunnel though nobody really knows how exactly and when tourism will restart. some have hopes that a new start will bring changes that it was otto is an activist with finesse yet dot

com the group installed this counter in the window of a pharmacy to help publicize the dick. number of residents 50965 the actual number of people citizens living today here in venice that's 30 people less than a week before over tourism has been driving people out of the city but the problem is more complicated than that it's a very strange situation we don't want too much toryism because it would suffocate the place but at the same time we can't live without tourism in a place where everyone lives off tourism one way or another it is difficult to find a balance this city's tourism councillor says that the situation is not unique to venice but rather venice is in need of a unique solution. known as. venice has not been sold out in a derogatory sense all tourist cities have experienced the last few years in the

absence of rule super tech certain segments of the city as a 1st step the city has begun to closely monitor visitor numbers starting next year tourists will have to pay a fee to enter the city but moderates who misses the what some people consider the bad old days of the. old when i would also go back to what it was like to have years ago with a few lisp people maybe but it wasn't a massacre like they were saying it was sustainable. but you know the debate over the future of tourism in venice is far from over but for now most people here cannot wait for visitors to return. despite calls to cancel the tokyo olympics organizers have held a test event for skateboarding a sport that said to my kids to boo at the summit guns on the japanese skaters took pot and were allowed most athletes walk the olympics to go ahead and they
