10:30 pm
well then progress tough calls to everyone who wants to know more about this topic . the 2nd son about this story is beyond the headline world in progress. the w talk cost the the tyra canyon and northern montenegro, reaching down some 1300 meters. the unesco world heritage site is the deepest scorch in europe. now it's threatened by the construction of monique rose fest highway. you have to have certainly at least the visually. i mean, just, but they want to have a high rate on know. i mean, this is the cost of the $1000000000.00 highway is being built by one of the china is not just stay turn construction companies. i look,
10:31 pm
send them the data is the project environmental and safety consultants. this is a construction site like the mix, actually all screwed up. i call it like a gold rush. everybody so keen to to drive them the highway medium is that of which has a passion for fly fishing. it hope to track like minded tourist to the terrorism. but the construction of the highway, his dash that dreams for the time being. yeah. the other one, i'll probably never again experience this particular spot of the titled river, like i used to have that i bought a lot of what the meaning is that of each spent is coming to the upkeep of the tower rizza.
10:32 pm
he's also the president of the fishing club in crushing for me to the construction of month negroes. first highway means the destruction of his beloved drizzle horses before long rivers. like these have taken millions of years to form settlement deposits on which close the capillaries. so that the water can stay on the surface of the room for the 3 years yet. so now that's all been reversed in . moder, is sleeping into the ground. plus the river bed has been new. is day according to is the fish are gone in life has disappeared from the river. so we basically have a desert here. i'd say the water level is only a 3rd or half of what it used to be. triple the unspoiled nature of montenegro is its greatest treasure. busy and more, this is exactly why to us from the west come here for the service is
10:33 pm
a sizable portion of monte negroes longest. rizza enjoys unesco protection for a long time the population had no idea that highway superstructures, bridge p is, would be built directly on the river bed. right, so yeah, that will probably take 3 or 4 years for any fish to show up. everything is all. how do i few extremely sad about what's happened to this beautiful rivers. i should have been saved by any means necessary, but of almost a to and this was like kaiser that supported according to european regulations. the stretch of highway here should have been as short as possible. the cartridge was dead. it runs a full 2 kilometers along the river bank to the highway is being built by the china road and bridge corporation of all c, b c,
10:34 pm
a chinese stay tuned. enterprise, but local companies are also involved in what is the largest infrastructure project in mountain eclipse history. the highway will stretch a total of 170 kilometers, connecting the port city of bo. we've probably got a in the north and we'll eventually run from the adria attic sea to the vice of the 42 kilometers between the capital put gaudy time and quarter lashing practically finished. the original estimated cost of this section alone is 1000000000 bureaus. 800000000 of which is financed by loan from china as x and back. in the meantime, the cost of this section has turned out to be over a $100000000.00 euros higher than originally planned. at exxon domestic is a montenegrin consultant who's been involved as the direct just the health safety
10:35 pm
and environment. since construction of the project began, he was hired by the china road to bridge corporations 7 and a half years ago. construction began in 2017 for project incorporating 16 tunnels and 21 bridges one of the highest bridges in europe. the highest point from the river itself is 200 meters to the level which was very challenging for 5. and that design, it's really, really difficult to deal with a huge difference in elevation. we have 12 elements of 1000 explain projects. most wonderful thing that happened to 560 or 100 years from know if it comes from for,
10:36 pm
for the capital. and then on the coast equal venus as a minister for me, it was a challenge and the privilege to be a part of this kind of national national life project. montenegrin officials hope that the highway will provide a boost the under develop northern part of the country and attract more towards the 1st section is scheduled to open in a month 3 years later than planned up to 3000 chinese workers are included on the construction site during peak activity, you know, they're not allowed to talk to the media, part of the company's communication strategy, the, how about how you really think, okay, good. these bits we have soft, electrical mechanical installation. so that's a single hold on any. so thanks for sending policies to 4 months and it shows up in the, in the software, this is up to the allow the you have to be the, any, any,
10:37 pm
any risk from, from let me put you down for anything and it was really, really strong. some have to make sure the don't have any starting to see what else the construction company has faced repeated criticism, especially in connection with environmental violations. be honest. this was but i'm not sure that i can. they can speak like this by my, my personal opinions. because politically driven and driven by some environmental zeros that negatively oriented towards these projects. because they, they want us to avoid the river. but it's still us will design the routes of the highway we did is according to the conceptual design made by the government. this is the section to attracting most criticism from the ponies to the highway web
10:38 pm
bridge p is run direct beyond the resistance several columbus as well. this particular area we made let me do some plan which was adopted and approved by the environment agency protection agency. and you can see at the top of the phone and put the at the grocery upon the ross and found some, some, some nice fees and the little green and the river received its, its previous me. so river course and the river bed. you have to have certainly at least the visually i mean you choose, but they want to have the highway on. so i mean, this is the cost of civilization, but still, again, i wouldn't mind even for the fall down and drink from from the service. i
10:39 pm
mean, is that of its fishing club protected and took care of the fish population of guitar and their cor lashing until the construction began at the time he was one of the 1st people to draw attention to the impending damage. the project would cause and the 1st group to listen to him was an engineer called man's sound, performed the phone when we began to question why a highway was even allowed to be built, that we were trying to find out if the state was managing construction properly. and whether environmental instinct is with doing the job that others work well. so i'm not sure i love that will let them as a government declared vital information to be subject to state secrecy. it was by no means the last of the we still don't know where the money went. now instead of 800000000 euros the highway costs over a 1000000000 or solar system and we will not as close as subsequently out of the man's is finance by the you and deals primarily with corruption,
10:40 pm
an organized crime. the n g o has also found evidence of nepotism and waste of public funds during the freeway project and is pursuing cases of incompetence. so you think the revitalization measures are insufficient? almost only cosmetic, at best. the most damage was caused by excavating right in the river itself. they cleaned the machines and the tata in the cement from those machines, damage the river, especially young fish. the cement gets caught in their gills and causes them to suffocate. nicola seen the time it became as brown as earth, and it was devastating for all river life. we tried to fight and organized protests, of that. the government refused. here is the only sort of listening when months also began criticising for months. montenegro is currently seeking you
10:41 pm
membership, but the country's debt has increased significantly because of the highways construction. the project is part of china soak road initiative, which has been investing around the world, including in the balkans months and he goes, current parliamentary speaker was instrumental in developing plans for the highway and negotiating the project for the chinese at the time even by of which was minister of transport nice for me. but a claim that we never said no to the you was very nice, but they would just no serious offers me and meal. and i understand your not the thing is that's the simplest concepts of why we chose a chinese company is that it had the best and cheapest delta e commerce me slope customer. the critics attack of saying it was a highway from nowhere to nowhere. what i get on those to me, so all equally, so could you call it? in fact, what could we started with the most difficult section of the type of route and use so that we could have a nice, you know,
10:42 pm
hands with you and implement the rest of the highway with the private and was full public financing a coil. motion with the folks, some of the things that i didn't know if we can pretty luckily i don't know. that's where the rest of the funding will comes from. remains unclear. needed is none of which house is located in core lashing not fall from the tara, where he and his friends remain. i would fly fishes. the media has trying to make the winter result is crushing, appealing to fishing tourists in summer. but the damage to the tower river has ruined his plans. are small and then usually add a drop of nail polish to ferment all up up of your domains. and sonya, my dream was to organize a world championship for fly fishing and montenegro school programs. the benefits for local residents would be a normal site and it's we are over envelopes as low as
10:43 pm
a good tourist of the shop to go so, but mostly belong to the upper middle and upper class abuse. and they have disposable income. they like to spend quarter, you might with or you don't know. so the port that are should an extend the med tech to only sit on the highway construction site every day to ensure everything is perfect ahead of the opening. as i said, everything will be here. you have also police station firefighters service area. and the come on will be faced. the command center is the brain of the highway. the around $560.00 cameras has been installed along the $42.00 columbia to stretch. all of them are connected to small software that will ensure maximum safety for future
10:44 pm
road uses. for this particular car would slow down, then they will focus on that old car would stop to go reverse a vote just to fast. then if a smoke up with a p a. and you have special, especially design software to recognize the small basic and the most sophisticated software, which is still on the, the preparation also on the ground china road and bridge corporations, software developers who's come to montenegro from single pool and malaysia. so the subset of everything. yeah, yeah, that's the only system on the front of it. the cnbc is delivering a fantastic product to citizens and i'm sure this will save many lives in the future. thank you very much too much. the highway is still
10:45 pm
a work in progress, but some drive is already enjoy using the completed sections as a foster route to put a question which is a big safety issue. 5, extend them of that. they just drove into it all. yes. and they put their foot down, they passed to me at a $120.00 last. the option is, what are they getting? they don't know? are they driving someone? i really have no idea sites. it's really difficult to, to fight this at every, every single day. 24 hours. ok, thanks for now. all of such a wait for them then when i was suppose to the products, are they the ones who came in and smoke events? okay, let me know if i'm. yeah. yeah, catching the illegal task buses and a $65.00 security at the end. and if i see something suspicious,
10:46 pm
i call them to to block and call police in case a few minutes later, alexander has located the road. driver's location is from sub you to i in too much of a hurry to get to be a dramatic coast the afternoon. you know, this is a construction site just you have to go back out where you drove in. otherwise you'll be find, find the police. this is a construction site, it's close to the traffic, but gps, let us here drive to the next day. so i totally think like a gold dress. everybody so keen to to drive on the highway because the kind of drugs drive for get it sent to collection is extremely narrow and dangerous. the old road was built in the 19 seventies and is currently the only connection
10:47 pm
between the capital and the northern part of the country. and we have just just 2 lanes of the road. and then you have a rate of box. and then you have a big like a canyon, a big rock pulling down tennis. it's very narrow, it's very curvy. then we have lots of trucks, lots of buses, and they have to drive slowly. and then they drive slowly, then you pile up hundreds of cars behind papers i fast want to overtake and if you want to avoid the car, then it just leads over to the rails has been many so many victims jeffrey dex events along this road a year ago, a colleague of alexander has also had to stay to accident here. one of the strongest arguments cited by highway advocates is that the project will help to avoid further such tragedies. that was that a good date,
10:48 pm
each from the man's and g o has documented evidence of how regulations and laws have been bent and broken during the highways construction. the government has granted extraordinary concessions to chinese investors in all subcontractors involved. c, r, v. c, cause i is up when cnbc realized it was expensive to dispose of construction ways that they came up with a projects to regulate the river by dumping it all along the banks. claiming that it would prevent flooding away pretty solid cycle funds. but is neela has already said they basically just lift piles of garbage from the tunnel drilling instead of completely changing the character of the tower river, which has become the dumping ground. so rubble and debris from the tunnel doors football on your lot cordial. so what do you think that and that's certainly one of the myriad accusations gravel has also been taken from the tara, which is strictly prohibited in
10:49 pm
a sense that lead the cnbc to be charged and find one of those non what? yes, the so, so we know that all the fines imposed on c b c and the sub contractors were very smooth and not nearly enough to cover the damage close to the re the there was so many problems with this project and that it see it was something that pre med are the most glaring example that the montenegrin public has learned about. joe, is that the highways may in connection to go. it's the book about loop. we simply for going to have for residence or long or rather for good. it says she was not even part of the original agreement. it was added later that great coliseum of deal oregon 9. busy black star e knox to avoid the robot on. so of course we need a highway on yale, so, but it needs to be done in a way that suits the public interest of or that doesn't just line the pockets of privilege companies and individual states in the i know not trans up the company. and for the civil do we have an equation benefits here? that's a sudden down pull changes lessons, plans. he's driving to visit someone who's properties right on the highway of
10:50 pm
the most of the people like patty shell, bicycle beach are an important source of information. phyllis of patient, is it safe haven to quote cases because the construction materials used in the so called risk management and stuff and he's gotten which is right next to one of the towers. cubic feet or 2, something like that was just dumped on my field. not to mention the big stone, you always have it in the form you graduated in scope of this material that was dug out of the my tissue time on is what am i to shovel 3 is for 5, i knew the over there is the tunnels x it will go through the some are you going to is that need to know what that was taken out of that tunnel and ended up here in the gardens use of a is a general be a little don't watch. we tried to get them to take it away. that's cool. but it's dave here on the circle to do so. is there any problem you you told me
10:51 pm
a lot. of course, this is a problem for me to call you to bet tons p i used to be able to access the river directly fit them. now they've built this protective lot. you got the costs as of it circles and it looks ugly. when you build the site, you split your direct me with all i used to be able to look directly at the river from my house. i've been remote now. i have to walk around or climb up there or no, i bit felicia, he's abandoned. he's gone into full years because of the construction site. mila has of visited today. natasha cove activate. she's an environmental ex, but who works for the n g o bank watch which scrutinizes investments by international financial institutions in terms of environmental and social criteria . the loan agreement, montenegro has entered into it's china is controversial. and the big talking points in the countries relations janet communicating this national. i'm not blaming the
10:52 pm
chinese name is i'm blaming a government. it's not something that does what it nigrama. whichever. uh, can i ask who i'm in the state that will charge montenegro be unable to repay the loan installment the contracts, and allows the chinese investor to claim on to meet with state property as compensation, liquidity, and excuse me, my, most them just for the most demo with them and that could affect strategically important assets. steve truck up up with a symbol. for example. appleton barley, illinois. the nicky defendant before the railroad claim um which i just need say stuck with the global. so this is a danger that has already become reality in other countries will try to quit so much force fairly or will do games. i mean, i'm of that stuff. so the trade routes are of great interest to china. it's one trillion dollar new silk road project aims to open up the countries access to markets in asia, africa, and by the balkans to europe. so to ever take you through this stuff and get them in this level, then we'll get out to him on with the we have a week democracy,
10:53 pm
save and a not country. it's investors with pretty aggressive kind of take the to the ones with influenza them yet, but kind of grew to even the bulk and countries like montenegro as the by a to a new member shadonia that becoming increasingly oriented to truly nice investment . in skinner's k, with state government feel more comfortable working with the chinese government and chinese investments. so probably because best on that, so not the same. and a more convenient if you had a less than a full portion of understand that the new a nice for me will right now it's on 3 a when to even to build the 2 missing highway sections to the coast and to sub. yeah. so this is the end of the road, so you can see and the 42 kilometer long highway a this is the, the hill calls especially big this. it will be the next challenge. hopefully we'll
10:54 pm
see how to be see the next phase from that if it's a bit on this is to serve in boulder and i, and i highly appreciate the chinese investors and time is extreme back. and i think in the balkans, easiest to to work with best quality and develop over the country. now if, if you would be a well bang for your opinion to make some calculations and what you need to do. then people decide in 5 years or 10 years, or 15 years, and we have to think of our sales 1st but needed as that as each and the testicle back to beach on just thinking about themselves. that thinking about future generations as well. that's why for them the price of the highway is just too high or low to end up in middle. i look here for example, who the see you can see it on the bottom on yes and on as it is a quote, yes, i can see it. so that's a lot of
10:55 pm
a small one. the to come in. yeah. well the that though you there it is. love it here and there are more here. yes, ontario some tiny crayfish. no. let me pull this up over to you have no idea on it too. we are in an area here that could be a good, happy touch, the trout and other species of fish studies. but the buffering with the blue give us that, which if we're talking about babies, they had the same on no way to be seen here to pro, exactly yours. but it's a shame i used to fish this part of the tub all the time. it was full officially or wherever the la puente ribbon on us. this is a unique feature is monique where's constitution isn't the 1st article of the class, the country to be an ecological state. but the government and the business and industry sector has been failing for years to deliver on this patient that the,
