9:37 am
but even paid for her lawyer if you will love mountain climbing. then connie, it's in bosnia herzegovina may be the right place for you. it's an up and coming destination for people who love the heights. this is where you miss your cage has made it his responsibility to rescue those who have injured themselves along their trick. cuz i am loved what he does, he loves the heights, but he and his colleagues are volunteers. and as such, are supported by local authorities, even though they are risking their lives to save others attention teams. the injured person has been located upon audra. copy me. okay, has twisted her ankle and rugged terrain. thankfully this is just an exercise for kareem and his fellow, rescuers need to know how to respond in an emergency with the mobiles out to
9:38 am
stabilize just fine. and uncle with an inflatable cost does not you mobiles lots, you know, going to. so now we'll place her on the stretcher and start the evacuation. no stiller, it cleans up. that's what tourism is booming in the mountains of bosnia and herzegovina . more and more people are flocking to it's christine landscape. but nature has its perils. the weather here can change in minutes. that can spell danger, for inexperienced taker. the rescuers have to upsize the injured party. only a few weeks ago they had a real emergency to deal with when a hiker was seriously injured at the very same spot. it was a list of fully tenants and experienced mountaineer. he had fallen while trying to photograph the scene of a recent avalanche and broken several ribs unable to move, he was just barely able to reach his phone. an hour later the rescuers arrived because i was certain to rescue it would come 100 percent. sure. they saved my life
9:39 am
and be eternally grateful to them for a book that august of the hall i was approved. this is the 1st time ellis phillip turnage has been back here since his accident. he wanted to watch the exercise on north 1st, but now i can really see what they had to go through. when they rescued me. they descended a steep slope to ab sell me from there. i can only say i admire them, especially because they were only 5 of them at the time would be paid. but it's difficult for the rescue team to equip even just 5 rescuers adequately can use a mountain rescue gets virtually no funding from the local government. and bosnia has no law regulating mountain rescue at the national level conditions for kareem and this team of rescuers are hard. a pull, open the door open and we had to buy half of the equipment ourselves. the other
9:40 am
half assured him you number is most of it is all premier quality now and we shouldn't be using open i me prefer. okay. but once we have no other choice, i mean, we use it at her own risk talking with, according to all the necessary equipment is stored in the garage. that's the rescue team members pay for themselves. they had to move out of their former office in the fire department at the city governments. we have the city said it was due to renovation. that was nearly 2 years ago for the vase 3 minutes after 2 or 3 months, we noticed that they weren't going to give us back our office space for the thought . so we asked for an explanation regardless of the direct another war. and there's still waiting on an explanation. you can use a civil protection director says the city has many obligation, but not enough money to go around. you see the mountain rescue team is just one of
9:41 am
many associations in con. you know there's, there are dozens of clubs here, and they all want their own space, but the city can't afford its own rescue team swapped off the coast. i'd say that whenever the mountain rescue team heads out there mostly hoping their own people when the weather is bad, it's them the adventurers to go out there even though they shouldn't never about it . but the rescue team say the overall number of mountain tourists has risen sharply to them. that means they help out whenever they're needed, so couldn't upland. any person spending time in the mountains as a loved one, waiting for them at home. that's why i go out there and help them the leaves me when you save someone else's life, it's an overwhelming feeling and that's why they keep going, despite all eyes. so can you some mountain rescue team?
9:42 am
among the things that many of us here in europe take for granted is that we can get clean water whenever we open and tap. that's not the case for residents of the russian village of maturing. squire, you, yvonne, balkan, for example, he has come to accept that authorities may never provide him with this very basic service. instead, he has developed a sense of humour, almost as dark as the water. the villages are faced with the color of coffee. if it comes out of the faucet, it could be either a joke, the people of nature in sky. either way, if never ceases to amaze them the bro sludge, they've been getting from the top for years. instead of clear drinking water, you can't use it for washing or for drinking, but we have no choice. i do, we have to let it settle for a while and then we boil it with you let you know. on lemon tough st. residents
9:43 am
pump out the brown liquids by the book, it's every day. while they do have running water in their 2 story building, the water pressure is often so low. it's easier for them to just pump the water at themselves. no matter where it comes from, the st bumps or the home times, well timidly. the water in the village of meter in ski originates from a major river in southern russia and co buying on the spring floods. cold waters turn a cloudy, gray brown and the mud flows into beatrice, case water mains, virtually unfiltered. once the villagers draw the river water, they have to leave it out for several hours and containers like these 20 liter plastic bottles until the dirt settles. then the water is a little cleaner, but only a little we end up drinking everything,
9:44 am
the clay and sand and everything else floating around in it. he can't even remember the last time he drank truly clean water from the top limits, the retiree, a van rebellion. okay, that they're the same stuff. i've been living here since 975, and that's how long we've had to deal with it some boilers. but i don't, i just learned that women lay to use the water for cooking, or sometimes when it's really filthy, my drink claim water from a water dispenser room for the school year to the retail water costs money, money. this retiree can hardly spare even republican, has to spend a 3000 roubles a month, about 35 euros for store bought drinking water. that comes through about one 3rd of a pension, that's barely enough to live on as it is. are in the soviet era, village of reacher and ski had us of cause a large scale state owned farm with accounting factory. not only was the state and
9:45 am
church of agricultural production, it was also responsible for the basic purification of the water, the long time residents recall then the soviet union collapsed with it, the old purification system. the wrench will not be lit them. they used to be large tanks along the road out of town where the river water was processed before it was led into the village of us who was going to, but then new rulers came, everything was looted and ever sent them into loans money. ever since these tanks have been crumbling, they're no longer able to clean the water from the river. according to a report by the state environmental protection agency, some of meter and skis, water means i know what to 90 percent clubs with filled from the river. once more, the water from the crew by and river is known to be polluted. environmentalists
9:46 am
recommending urgent action to remove bacteria and chemicals from the water require is about water quality in the region and measures taken to purify, met with no response from the local authorities. and so it seems to be to risky, villagers do indeed have no other choice, but to use the dirty brown water. well really, sometimes when the water looks a bit cleaner, i put white laundry in it. but it all comes out dirty. that's that you might as well throw the clothes away, which were in the way once again, the top butcher was so browned, the van republican decided to buy himself inexpensive 5 liter bottle of clean drinking water at the village store. but this water russian will had to last them a few days and the van revoke, and the witch is dying to carefully look at the i have to be careful not to wait
9:47 am
too much harring that would make me so thirsty. i'd have to drink the dirty water from the river, but now i'm pretty much toughened up against it. as long as it's called, our customers and russia can be hard for me to risky will need a lot of water and what it gets from the co vine isn't fit for human consumption. the summer holidays are just around the corner here in europe, and the popular tourist destinations are preparing to receive guests. after a year of isolation and locked down, the a multi coast in italy was specifically hard hit by the corona virus measures that brought tourism to a sense filled. but now our reporter got to visit the people who call this beautiful stretch of lands their home. they talk about how they are managing life during the pandemic, and i have to admit
9:48 am
a bit jealous of our reporters assignments. the queue on the steep terraces, the mail, if he coasts, they grow the most delicious lemons. they get their characteristic mild flavor from the sun and the sole t. c. air. i made family i chet who are 6 generation lemon farmers at 86 luigi at those still feel as if he's convinced that lemon juice flowed through his veins. fortunately, he was spared a corona infection and has already been vaccinated the lemons and working at doors he says, have given him strength even in old age. with the appeal of his look here. this one is full of juice. we also used to choose for distant fiction before he was to clean our hands about the money. after taking over the family business, salvatore had a rebuild professionally working on the steep lemon groceries. tiring 2500 trees.
9:49 am
that's about $800.00 tons of lemons. need to be harvested in the hanging garden, the year, the shadows say that they were able to get through the corona crisis by sticking together as a family vulgar control control and, and chaos us and asked me to lose their faith in politics. we don't believe the problems here will be solved. that's my family is so important to me, and that i mean the mouse retard is the only road connecting such a picturesque towns like lo, positano or yeah, theresa murray, tourism here is both a blessing and a curse. before the crisis hit, money flowed freely. american tourists in particular would often rent luxury villas in prime locations. ramona avatar, the leg gives me a tour of one of her vacant luxury apartments. apart from this illustrious house called villa aris, 32 year old ramona manages 20 other privately own villas and apartments. this is
9:50 am
our salon, which we renovated to you. they've made use of the current pandemic by investing into even more luxury at 1200 year as a day. this bill is still comparatively cheap. the owners want to make up for last year financial losses. and since there's not a lot of work outside the tourism industry, the locals are dependent on the wealth of others based on on providing it's not easy to find work here with someone. i'm fortunate enough to be working in a business that i help set up and that i enjoy working and i get to interact with a lot of people. so i'm happy here. maybe they're not of it, but there are a lot of other young people who are forced to leave me. guess i'll go straight to them that if i this is especially true positano, like the rest of because this village too is the unesco world. heritage dies, many residents rent out their apartments and holiday homes to international just said is, meanwhile, young people, especially those starting a family,
9:51 am
have to move away. at shay black, they're waiting on the return of celebrities. reservations are filling up the owner the this was taken in the 1st few years he came to visit. he calls me papa black. denzel washington isn't the only one. the restaurant became the new place to be for hollywood stars, enjoying it. if i'm in to or the sweetness of doing nothing, it's 5 am and alberta russo and his father take me along to go fishing back when positano was just a sleepy little village. everyone here lived off fishing and i've seen this type of work. that's our passion. that's what they're drawn to. it was huge. they were isolated for a month during the corona virus pandemic vocal. my new about a few fish that we didn't catch had to be sold furnace to the market price. it was
9:52 am
really a very difficult situation. let's hope that we can both of it's even that it does. they say, that's hope that will come out of this stronger than before. during the pandemic, they were left to themselves to get by and amidst the quiet, even the dolphin's return to the bay. but now they were afraid things might go back to normal, says alberta, his father luigi, when it comes to tourism many agree that less is more like just the content. because a reminder that we're only guests here and there, you know, we should be less selfish than on that. but unfortunately, it didn't really help change people's minds. people haven't learned a thing how difficult not being greedy to take better care of the environment. today the to any and see might not have provided them with a lot of fish. but when humans live in harmony with nature, says, alberto grace and beauty shore to follow. and so the mouthy coast remains
9:53 am
a place of longing. our final report takes us to the netherlands, a country with lots of water, even in towns and cities, things to its numerous canals. these canals are addressed are a breeding ground for fish that would normally swim upstream to lay their eggs. but when the waterways are closed, the fish gets stuck in traffic so to speak. but now there is an app that helps waiting fish navigate the busy waterways. spring time in the netherlands and the fish and tracks canals are following the call of nature. heading up stream to the spawning grounds, but there's a lot to go. this many evil luck controls the water levels. the luck is closed in spring because there are any boats, a boat,
