at a specific goal to build the best optical instruments in the world. ah little did he know that devices bearing his name would one day feature in the moon, minding through science, into new realms. the rise of a global company, 175 years of ice starts june 19th on d, w. ah ah, ah, ah, for many of us in europe, it feels like a pandemic is pretty much over. but one industry is still struggling to recover from the giant hotel chains and airlines to local restaurants, museums,

and galleries. the tourism industry needed billions in aid from governments to support the livelihoods and lives of those working for it. travel is picking up again, but the industry is struggling to get back on its feet. that's our main topic today . tourism also coming up on crypto currencies like bitcoin, helping people evade russian sanctions. harnessing the waves and title energy help with us which to renewables. and why eating air could be good for the environment, but how does it taste? this is made thanks for joining us. void. i've in a brief history of the tourism industry. travelling in the middle ages was an arduous undertaking. merchants travel long distances with donkeys and cots in the 18th century, johan wolfgang phone, go to travel to italy, and educational trips became fashionable

a century later. a ride on the orient express to istanbul was the height of luxury . during the years of postwar recovery, travel became more affordable for your opinions. you could help in a car and head to the coast or even further afield. tourism became a $9.00 trillion dollar industry globally before the pandemic struck. now europeans want to get back out that to asia, america all on safari in africa. our reporter don hitch feds travel to one of these on a new airline. for the passengers and crew of your owings discover flight 138 . it was a special treat of you, of victoria falls in zimbabwe. one of the largest waterfalls in the world. flying so close is normally prohibited, but for the 1st direct flight to the falls by a european airline. flight control made an exception.

and once back on the ground, the air bus from germany got a warm reception. after 2 years of pandemic, symbol is hoping to start attracting international tourists again with high ranking government officials were on the tarmac of authorial falls, airport for the welcome party. indeed at transport is a critical engine for social and economic development of any country. this integral flight marks the beginning of a new era in the torrison sector and is a huge step towards the city of implementation of our national tourism recovery and growth strategy. a key pillar drugs achievement afford targets outlined in the strategy, is improving our access ability. flights to new destinations like this one are

something special, even for cabin crew members like washing arissa and her colleagues. she couldn't believe it when euro wings discover was launched during the middle of the pandemic . at time when thousands of pilots and flight attendants were losing their jobs. i was out of work for almost a year. i lived for aviation. so when discovers not to hire in cabin crew, i jumped at the chance. i'm one of the lucky ones that can fly again. wondering lucas india privacy at thrillers. huffman. naturally, i wondered why we were starting up at a time when other airlines were shutting down the under allan all. i was definitely skeptical at 1st, but after the interview and the way i was treated is about my skepticism was gone value to skip this done. look what was funny in the cockpit captain philip luda and his co pilot have a few minutes to enjoy the sunset. rudo was out of a job for over a year during the pandemic. but now for the last 7 months,

he's been flying with euro wings discover which is a subsidiary of lufthansa. california on cali, none of my friends and colleagues aren't sure what to do now. i hope they don't have any prospects for not yet anyhow, my final, but hopefully that will change soon will i see it as a massive opportunity and i'm really happy to be working for discover given by the fellow with destinations like victoria falls in zimbabwe. the kruger national park in south africa or the small airport on mount kilimanjaro africa's highest mountain euro wings discover hopes to attract new customers. go but kaos is responsible for planning new routes for discover passengers. new tourists mean fresh capital and secure jobs will convert oberholtz's lung. all the lufthansa group was long focused on business travel constantly and only did a little tourism on the side of summer come. as, as after the company realised that this area of its business was completely

underdeveloped, or cooper, everyone that visits africa and goes on safari or a game drive or visit the victoria falls as likely to be someone willing to spend a little more money. and someone who can afford it a bit of a hot market in those. it's a special clientele and not mass tourism. it's a select group. it could be a more sustainable form of tourism. it's not hard to get the resource for life. but how many extra tourists can the region cope with having been off the beaten track until now are safaris and group tours. okay, for the environment and wild life, or are they stress factors? charles brightman is seeking to stamp out in legal trapping in victoria falls national park. i mean cuz he finds between 5 and 10 illegal wire traps each day with his 15 person team. locals earn a living with such traps, but it's a painful death for the animal. it's out of the problem is there aren't enough jobs in the region. legal fishermen coming in with tourism is vital to it because it

plays a direct role in supporting wildlife conservation. i have a saying of, say, the, the, the more wildlife we have, the more visitors, which means the more jobs. now visitors come to them, but we sure to see the culture, the people. but one of our greatest assets in this country is the wildlife. and people will paid for example, entrance east into the national park, and thus earning great revenue for, for the country. your owings discover made its public debut in july last year, looked tons as tourism focused subsidiary already has more than a 1000 employees. many of them had previously lost their jobs due to the pandemic. but euro wings discover has been accused of undercutting its employees wages compared to their colleagues that lufthansa is intimately bought. isaac men, we're operating in the tourism segment, and it's very different to business travel. we have working conditions that fit this industry. i think we offer an attractive package for our employees,

both in the cockpit and among the cabin crew and administrative staff. but of course, it's not at the level of live tons of business travel branch at victoria falls, airport. the crews getting ready for the return flight to frankfurt. they'll be making the trip 3 times a week from now on. the passengers chat about their experiences at the falls are on safari, cabin manager rush, eudoxia boone says the passengers are very different than those on his last airline . doesn't get to the thing. it's this. these aren't passengers that fly 89 or 10 times a year like business travelers. yesterday. they fly only once or twice a year and tend to want more help and attention. but they're usually in a very good mood, often alone because there are going on vacation. if there's a completely different atmosphere here on board that much to move on to on board. when then it's back off to germany. both crew and passengers alike get another

chance to marvel at victoria falls from a distance before making the 14 hour trip to frankfurt. and it's not just the pandemic that's hit tourism lately. the war in ukraine is also making it's mock. turkey was one of the key destinations for russian and ukrainian tourists. just as companies there were set to stage a pandemic recovery. suddenly an important source of income, dried up, but the country says it's ready to accept more guests from elsewhere. a sack on or jack found out it's getting warmer in antalya and that vacation feeling as returned. some establishments have already opened their doors. others are still making final preparations after 2 years of pandemic now as the war in ukraine. but many in the tourism industry here say they used to crises which were shape could, could be true in turkey,

has about 40 years of experience and tourism could come to the city. in these 40 years we had to face many crises. the therefore we call the tourism industry in industry with a strong and system law mistake did all that actor telemundo in the past around 6000000 holiday makers from russia and ukraine came to techie every year. how many will come this year? it's still uncertain annex beta come who can fill the gap. it, you've been yet to meet you since you to the uncertainty of the ukraine crisis. so the number of russian speaking gases is decreasing. michelle, your size of that, one of the biggest problem is actually the flights eminem desoto, which and previous years guests came to antalya from different cities in russia and ukraine on charter flights. as an example, you give them now they don't exist anymore and truck soon, and then we're looking for a solution chart of several it again in early in the season the trojan we used to have between 5 and $9000.00 vacationers per day. notice it. good news. gold

currently? yes, we're operators predicted there will only be $4.00 to $500.00 guests per day in the and even that's not certain who's going to get today's thought. isn't that the on go to lead of us that we will not additional going to be there to them? on the other hand, there are more bookings coming from europe. british and german tourists are making more and more reservations. and the city of antalya is ready for them is from our book was in good faith now for the whole tourism industry in antalya. and we have lots of experience a bullet. we've never sat on our hands on a bullet. the alarm is always taking the initiative ourselves either and tried to create new opportunities all the time by out i want as well. but as when that yep of his is the additional the number of guests from rushman ukraine in previous years. it's hard to talk these days, but tour operators hope to reach the 2000000 mark crenan, the cdc, they're good in

a genie listening. we can't say whether the ukrainians will come this year. i'm a or a full come at all. so for the rest of them to converse with russia, on the other hand, her we're talking nolan, they really miss it. more turkish airlines has resumed flights negativity, in the coming days, it will float, will start flying again, league for toward airline pegasus and others are also flying stimulant. we assume we'll have 1.5 to 2000000 guests from russia. the booth you again back on the navy, but these days are you never know what tomorrow will bring. what wouldn't you been good on my yard and knowledge on it just came to kiss him. some ukrainians are here in antalya, but as refugees escaping the war, the russians on the other hand are on vacation. ah, we have a friend here. i'll have her, merlin harper become this my m brazza and to neighbors. the accolades are to see you go to some i came from st. petersburg. lord though i came to turkey because the situation in my country,

russia is not good at the moment. when you huddle, shad barrios with i want to rest clear my head. i am. so became to turkey, it is a gritty to mozilla at the moment we are only allowed to go to attempted to pull herself by the mom. nobody could have thought of the number of tourists is especially important for local retailers, some a very concerned, but others i'm on a bike with richard. richard or restaurant is a small business of a home style restaurant. we won't be hit very hard, but we used to have nice russian and ukrainian guest 230 or so. if they stay away, we lose some business hours at all. or if they come with me, we'll have more turnover. of course fedex, solar international functions have led to payment problems for russians. in recent weeks, credit cards from russian banks are no longer being accepted yet and i will injure last month. our guests only found out here that their credit cards don't work and you know that they had to get creative with paying their bills in them and some

transferred money via western union. others even paid with crypto currencies. they bought it. it's been a big hurdle for tourism. the biggest challenge for the turkish tourism industry this year is finding guests to replace the otherwise steady flow of russians. every one here wishes that the war will soon end, and that piece and the tourists will be back. one of the 1st major fide by a multi digit code and blocked crypto exchangers don't plan to bar all russian users. a blanket band would impact russians not involved in the war effort and contradict the spirit of bitcoin. still, western providers should block the bitcoin accounts of those on the sanctions list . while amounts of up to $10000.00 remain under the radar. larger, some should be flagged by the online exchanges software and said alarm bells ringing. the transaction would be rejected, blocked and reported to the authorities. russian banks or state agencies should be

noticed, strayed off crypto currencies aren't a real alternative for companies. either. bitcoin transactions are not legally protected. if the seller doesn't send ordered goods, even though they were paid for an bitcoin, that's tough luck for the buyer. she can prove she made payment with bitcoin. in addition, the prices of bitcoin and other crypto currencies often fluctuate wildly. profits can quickly shrink by 10 percent, depending on the market. what's left for russians, their own crypto currency. russia aims to introduce the digital rubel at the end of 2023. this crypto rubel might work for trade with friendly states, but it would be quite easy for europe and the u. s. to excluded from their own systems. russia's warren

ukraine is putting pressure on europe to accelerated switch to renewable energy. after all, many european nations like germany, austria and italy, a highly dependent on oil and gas from russia. the big switch requires some out of the box thinking. well, we've seen solar and wind generated energy ramp up rapidly. wave generated energy has remained relatively under utilized. how much of a contribution could the waves make to our energy use? well, to find out, we turned back the clock and it's a story that all begins with a duck of salts. in 1974, a scottish professor invented something that could have changed the story of energy . this contraption called edinburgh duc, don't blame me either name it. but he was quince really hard. you can sort of see it anyway, the ducks, but bob's up and down with waves to generate clean electricity.

it attracted a lot of attention from the u. k. government and press around the world because it had huge potential waves are everywhere, consistent and full of power. but nothing came of it just like the countless other sy fi looking wave energy devices invented in the following decades. so has happened to the duck and all these technologies and we'll waive power ever live up to its potential waves up complex. they don't just travel in one direction like the wind. so kind of stick, a terabyte in somewhere. let's zoom out a bit to understand waves form when wind blows over the ocean. friction between the moving air and the surface of the water causes ripples that eventually grow to form waves. so it waves, it's not that each particle in the water travels from ocean to cost. instead, each one remains almost in the same place. moving in

a circle as it gets energized by the wind. the energy is then transferred along for the next particle and so on. they move with the most density out, the surface, dwindling, the deeper you go. so waves are complex, but we can still predict how they're going to flow. satellite later on, wind can help understand wave swells days in advance. there are various basic designs, but here are a few mean ones. a point absorber. it floats at the surface and absorbs energy from all directions whilst and connected to the sea floor. relative movement between the boy and the stationary barge moves a piston inside into an energy conversion system that drives a generator. a surface attenuator which is made up of multiple floating segments, connected together and place perpendicular to incoming with the relative motion between each segment. once again, powers an energy conversion system and turn the oscillating water column, a partially submerged hollow structure. as waves entered the compress and

decompress the air column and push it through a turbine which connects to a generator. the duck belongs to a category called the terminator. similar to the surface attenuator, the edinburgh doc was supposed to be a solution to the energy shortage following the oil crisis in 1973. but by the time it was ready for testing, the nuclear industry was receiving so much more attention that the duck lost the race. but to similar to the 1970s were facing another energy crisis. today, the need to get to net 0 emissions even as the demand for energy is rising. estimates predict an average 30 percent rise in demand by 2045. ah, and here's where wave power comes back into the game. on a dark blue me winter's day where the sun is shining and the wind is blowing alternatives, including title and especially wave power have a big role to play. not only are waves predictable,

very reliable waves flow almost consistently all year round wave energy devices can also generate several times more power for the space they occupy compared to wind turbines, simply because this smaller and water is hundreds of times more dense than air into any $21.00, europe installed 3 times more capacity in wave power than the previous year. both public and private investments rose significantly totaling 70000000 euros and boards title and waste power. while in theory, the potential for waves is 3 times to day is global demand. it's estimated that by 2050 wave power will generate 10 percent of global power, which is a significant share. the biggest testing facility at the moment that's arguably showing the most potential is in scotland. the perfect location with its strong winds large swells and history of testing, wave devices. industry analysts say wave power is behind wind by around 20 years,

and it won't catch up with already please either wind all solar any time soon. but right now, it's alternative markets like offshore oil rigs and less problematic ones that do look promising. like islands, there are around 2000 islands with less than 800000 inhabitants. that lack of grid connection and use diesel generators for energy. as we had to at 0 carbon would waive power could be the perfect resources and several companies are looking at various islands already. are those one to attach devices to platforms in the aquaculture industry. syn power in germany is one company. welcome to attach with power devices to offshore wind platforms that also have solar panels and the infrastructure for grid connection. at the moment, neither the capacity of install wave power nor the costs of the energy it can produce compared to other renewables. but it's value lies in the diversity it can

bring to the mix. and it's not just water. air is vital to life too. but what if i told you that it could be essential? not just for breathing, but for eating to food from carbon dioxide who's maker claims that can protect the environment. we sent our reporter off. mike clangy to find out more. hey, have you heard about this? you can eat air. i'm not kidding. you can turn carbon dioxide into food say to says positive from finland. hey, placing what's on the menu producing meet alternatives to different kinds of dairy products. it's also sweet ice cream. so on up in finland in northern europe, pass here on the fact that produces one kilogram of protein powder every day. hey,

patsy. how do you do this? we haven't mike rope, but basically swims around in the body of liquid water in a firm. and i need the filament, we introduced more bubbles of hydrogen and carbon dioxide. and this is what the micro needs to grow and multiply at the micro itself is our product crazy. let's check it out. okay, if i understand correctly, but he uses micro with an appetite for hydrogen and c o 2 just add some new terms like nitrogen and phosphorus, po, or the whole process with energy. and the micro will grow and grow and grow. a protein powder coming out. but passing, how does it taste? it is neutral in paste. therefore,

the taste can be made per application, whether it's weak or savor or but with why should i, if the self passive, about one 3rd of the climate impact is due to what we eat. therefore, we to get rid of actually and from the increasing use of animal based products. okay, so let's wrap it up. it is possible to turn carbon dioxide into protein powder that can replace parts of traditional agriculture. good for the climate that certainly food for thought. enjoy newton, perhaps not very tasty. sadly, that's all for this edition, but what a journey it's been from tourist destinations to new delicacies as

a wall outlet to discover and will discover more of it next time here on made facts to watch with awe, with

nico and for tobacco was one of them bob boys most important sources of income, but that could change very soon more and more farmers want to grow industrial him. not only is it more climate friendly and easier to cultivate, but also them you use from this, from the lease, from this pole in the roots also. so you don't throw in anything,
