9:33 am
where he wants to introduce his small community of about a 100 to the wider public. he even has gifts. still let me give you a pen. his most powerful ally, bordeaux, rama low drops by during his official tour of the affair. even get what you're doing well. these are exciting times, politically. that's just the way it is by our community is on your side. let me know if you're those i well anyone can do easy. nice. yeah, yes. i know the 2 men know and appreciate each other as to why it is for me. besides, i still don't understand 5 people who are not at all religious are suddenly taking such an aggressive action against the outcome of the community. and a good mind, this is a good part, a part of our coming to life facing death threats and this whole country of pakistan. good. no, there are good reasons for us to protect the tight ones which combine some of the items is the my, these are a conservative muslim community. persecuted in a number of islamic countries in germany. they are recognized as a religious group,
9:34 am
but in need of state protection. the group also enjoys widespread support among the greens, david my has lived near the new air force mosque for years and having mobile phone that you could tell from the mood in the neighborhood that there was massive opposition. you know, the mayor of the marbach district and the local council also spoke out against it, saying things like we wanted the daycare center and got a moss create a whole even today. many people think very negatively about it. yeah. and you've got to, you've got to be what the construction is, slow companies are allegedly being intimidated online workers don't want to be sound folsom and having to buy the construction companies, for example, did not accept orders or canceled orders that had already been placed because they were afraid of being attacked, i'm going to be friends of that kind of protest service has been taking place almost every monday evening for about 7 years. so lamond has given up talking to them, isn't the most and don't they said they don't want to listen. you can't converse
9:35 am
with these people mentioned on the suppression. opponents of the mosque have been given a boost. the a f d 's election victories and through india in facts. and he was a political earthquake. it's campaign featured slogans, dinner grading, multiculturalism rama low, whose party lost the election only has a short time left in office. the greens like david, my show, had been kicked out of parliament altogether. the dsl, the largest faction in state parliament. and it stands on the most is clear, you don't like it this good. we don't like it on the line because we said all along that we don't like the way this building is being erected and it shows officials don't really care what effort residents think of it to. it's a good cycle which come with age gone ish. that's what you're saying, we're pushing our food tie of your mind. you said you don't know that signal has gone down terribly with the population by the perfect one income. other muslim communities, an effort tend to be hidden away in industrial areas. what do they think about the
9:36 am
rise of the right? they won't talk to us on camera. my show has an explanation. kind of shows how not 14, i understand because the a f d has announced they want to completely cut all funding for democracy and migrant programs. like that's dangerous and we also don't know what kind of majorities exist now, but it's all very much up in the air, and that doesn't just scare them. it scares me to just not being honest with him. you know, solomon malik is not hiding, but he is the only one in his community to speak in front of the camera. he is currently waiting for community representatives from frankfurt, bringing plans for the most start. and malik and his family were persecuted in pakistan, which is why they fled to germany. he himself was still a child at the time. is india for next semester? we flip from extremists in our own country and now we're facing extremists again. that doesn't scare me on sunday, it encourages me to keep doing what i'm doing. demo by the solomon malik refuses to be defeated. he assured the moscow opened its door. soon,
9:37 am
despite all the head winds, fight or flight, it is a horribly difficult question to have to answer for you, creating border guards. it's a question they see many disappearing, men answer themselves with their feet. lucel maximum, you works as a border protection officer, and right now he has a lot to do as the war against russia continues in ukraine's east. more and more young men are trying to escape mobilization by fleeing across the shared border with romania through the carpet. and mountains of the car paste in mountains, south western ukraine. russian missiles and drones are a rare sight here. yet, paradoxically, even in this adult, lik setting the rising tension is tangible. some ukrainians are trying desperately to flee over the mountains while others come here to escape and unwind. and
9:38 am
you can sleep and keep their constant explosions. for kids, you can i to have to profession piece this live here. tell you in the small town of iraq to hundreds of kilometers from the front light seems normal, at least on the surface. even in the resort town though, the weight of the war is increasingly being felt. 0 the suit as we used to live from tourism into my now there aren't any tourists. today's how we supposed to make a living good question aimed at the ukrainian leadership. locals are blaming their what was on tightened army conscription laws. in july, the military set up a check point at the entrance to baroque, to a strong deterrent for any tourists of conscription, age, local spirit, their businesses might collapse. the tension is palpable, some even resorting to violence, broke to made national headlines. the mayor is ashamed by these images to prevent
9:39 am
tensions from escalating, he's called for more dialogue between the government, the military and society. read the words back. so have you told me today for someone with a week or disposition, the situation can quickly turn aggressive. i see the country's economy is difficult, but people have become poor. are the nissan that has consequences such in the best with the lights? and then we have consequences also failed here. yury and spits long enough when keith run a guest house in for off top. it has a swimming pond in sauna, and is surrounded by forest. their space for 70 guests, but they have only half their bookings from last year. and fewer available man means repairs are falling behind. so many skilled trades people are at the front. a lot of people from here, in fact, younger people volunteered more like what can i say? we have to do all the work ourselves to assist them with money
9:40 am
scares the work drags on. add to that blackouts caused by destroyed power plants. somehow they're managing to cope, but jerry has family members on the front lines. some of his closest friends have been killed in the war. he blames the west for failing to provide assistance. it pains him deeply. it's of course, the whole day and that's a good choice. all family share, this feeling send it to the guy, the ticket, the only ones unaffected, or those who go away on vacation. like the parliamentarians in the u. s. but alarm, and even though those are the countries that once promised the safety, they hold on to all the numbers from the small town up, a rock alone, more than $200.00 men and women have gone to war. 13 of them are now dead. afraid
9:41 am
of meeting a similar fate, thousands of men have chosen to flee. they hide out in dense forests, cross icey rivers, some escape attempts and fatally somewhere on the border between ukraine and romania. these men are responsible for ensuring that no one leaves the country illegally. so do they hold any sympathy for ukrainians, bleeding out of fear. more luck you will see on the more so can you more everyone's afraid to see, but for some reason some people can overcome their fear and fulfilled their doing it. others want to somehow escape it? in the one year, it's a little slow, whole bullying martin. why should some people protect the country? others flee to to more than you, most likely shut the door. we will see that suited to the state has a dilemma. it needs men for its defense and it must prevent the mounting tension from leading to social division. border guard marks and mute on it has also
9:42 am
questioned, forced the conscription practices and a bunch of someone is really afraid why send them to the front and let them stay in the back. i need to let them handle the supplies there. since that isn't the case, border guards here have more work than ever. their border section they say is currently the most dynamic. things can change it any moment. maxime, you his colleagues and their dog patrol for kilometers, checking for tracks, new fences, surveillance, drones, additional personnel and thermal imaging devices. ukraine has been forced to invest more money to secure hundreds of kilometers of its south western border. anyone who makes it this far is mere meters away from romania. suddenly things take a turn. a man has cut through the barbed wire fence and started running just a few meters short of romania. he stopped by the border guards. the man remains
9:43 am
calm. not resisting. he knows he'll only receive a fine for trying to cross the border. he doesn't answer our questions about his escape attempt. the board of guards have done their duty. she still, i'm indifferent. seduce me. there's no anger, no joy, either of you know this to the marshal law, restricting fundamental rights, inviolable and peace time. how long can a democratic society endure? this situation? the picturesque villages are emptying out sufferings on the rise, as is compassion for people evading military service to pursue the moving everyone from a village volunteered, no one joined the army because they were drafted up that was at the beginning of the war. now people are saving themselves however, they come with motors. benicia used to be a village of 500 people. then dozens of men went to the front family man for were killed. many lost arms and legs. the time.
9:44 am
that's cool, so i don't want to give out territories to russia this little boy. okay. but somehow everything has wound up in the dead in the public schools that people are dying, dying, dying with nothing to show for it. oh, how does it starts or to someone young? every day, soldiers are being buried in ukraine. funeral ceremonies like this one and louise had become routine. public sympathy remains high. despite all the tensions, the people remain united in their grief and their hope for a just peace. what is a climate tourist? exactly? is it someone who travels to
9:45 am
a place to save it or do they not travel at all in order to protect the climate? or are they like the tourists in our next story? who flee the hot mediterranean sun for a cool cation to norway? for example, where a glacier guide name steiner broo. home has been offering tours for 40 years now. are there in the mountains of western norway on the beautiful new guard spring glacier, she has watched the number of tourists grow as the ice keeps drinking a mystical imposing place. this is norway's, and the got sprint glacier. it forms part of the largest glacier network on the european mainland. it has a magical appeal. the stein are blue high and has been taking tourists up the glacier for 40 years. these
9:46 am
last 3 to 4 years, the number of summertime visitors has been growing. today he's taking a new group of vacation or is that we call them a kind of curious because the more or less escape from the really high temperature to the, into the back home here at this going today, the even harris is maybe on the, with the degree services ranchos. hanukkah base to them in cartons meet our climate tourist. the 2 dutch friends are travelling around denmark in norway, with their sons. is southern europe, too hot for them? yeah, for some people it is a thing where people go to the some a bit like spain it's lee. it's really too hot for us right now to go there is only go. yeah, get more hotter there and i don't find it enjoyable because the water temperature is 4 or 5 degrees celsius and the ambient temperature is
9:47 am
a moderate 15. there's no rain and eventually the sun comes out. it's been getting warmer here to just 50 years ago. the glacier extended almost all the way down to the lake, but it's melting the glacier shrunk by almost 100 meters in the summer of 2018 alone. then it's time to scale the glacier. the group dons ice picks and crampons. very, very terrifying. i'm not into high so that's what i'm feeling scared. this is all these people can do with then i think i can do it as well. the ice is in motion, so they walk in small groups secured by ropes. crew fast as lurk, scaling the glacier is not without danger, but the scenery is breathtaking. some $12000.00 visitors come in the summer months, and that figure is rising. more and more suicide come at the
9:48 am
same time in a very small area. i think it's much better to try to get spread the the on the low seas. the summer season is short trying times for the region some 500 kilometers further east. the water and ambien temperature is about 20 degrees, were at a campsite and say to central sweden, catalina, and your next move from brandenburg germany are doing a big camper, van tour of scandinavia. they used to enjoy traveling around the mediterranean, but those days are over. a good with it, so will i get with this? i heard the close attractions in greece last week because people were collapsing from the heat to go cap. i don't need that. go. what is it? nissan? how poppy, mom, brutal deed. it's new funds to be about in that heat and you're always on the lookout for shade. you need to always wear
9:49 am
a hat and we constantly apply some blo kindly stuff that's just an in front of him on the monthly package boss. the camp site manager is extending his lakeside, sown up an investment for his many new for in guests. he's seen a 20 percent increase on the previous year. maybe we brought that. i'm able to, can we ask them how they know is this your 1st time in sweden faddie? uh many say we used to go south, but now it's hot or there are floods. they have also more and more campers are opting for scandinavia and it'll, mia the it's coming all of you option. this is scandinavian tourism, benefiting from climate change. one a you study projects it will as temperatures rise, more holidaymakers will opt to visit. europe's cooler regions suite and has already started marketing this very fact. it promises a cool cation for heat plague, holidaymakers because so young, we notice growing interest as we start to provide information about the
9:50 am
communications. we highlighted all the things you can experience in sweden, on our website. so if you're looking for a cooler vacation, we have now amongst the most international cool cation spa doesn't feel that the homeless develops a truck. so as a matter of fact, majority of sweden is number one, but they include case and that it gets by the somebody bible but not everyone in sweden is happy with this development. there are regions that already suffer from mass tourism during the summer months. so if he's nothing, of course we have some places we can get very, very crowded during certain times in the summer. we have to try to ensure that not every one visit. so at the same time this, i'm pretty old and it's a cool mom, but i'm not able to, the norway's, the got sprint glacier is another mass tourism example, which gets very busy in summer. meanwhile, the group has reached its destination time for a snack. yeah, it's the experience, i can't really put it to where it's yeah,
9:51 am
it's amazing this eyes landscape and how glue it is. but temperatures keep rising and the glacier keeps melting. i have my kids with me, so the nice thing, okay, i'm going to be gone. i, i will have this earth but then what am i going to leave behind for them? so it doesn't make me think about that a little bit. yeah. the glacier exemplifies how much the world is already changing as global warming progresses. and with that, the world's holiday destinations, but nobody wants to stop going on vacation. and as global temperatures increase, climate tourism will to so how do you vacation or go on holiday responsibly? it's not easy. here's another not so perfect example in chechnya you can visit world heritage. historic buildings in the town of chesapeake crew loves on the lot
9:52 am
for river. you can get there via canoe or rubber doing a with promises of hiking and barbecued sausages around the camp fire. it's one of the techs favorite summer passions, but not everyone is sticking to tradition, says roddicks toby tech, who sees the river turning into a log, jammed party mile. the there's a long tradition in the czech republic of combining water sports with tourism. in summer, the vault of a river can become a full blown party. we visited the old town of chesapeake crew muff unesco world heritage site, a roddicks store. if you check office traditional raft tours here. he's critical of how much tourism has changed in the past 20 years. so nowadays, anyone can get on the water. no experience required. you don't need to bring equipment either. everything's provided a spun back in the day. we had to bring around drinking water. today you only need
9:53 am
money. there are service options every kilometer along the voltage on either from refreshments to accommodation. and that's not how it used to be shipped. roddicks toby tech has decided to instead, focused on history and tradition. he explains how centuries ago timber was transported to proc on ras like this one. he also points out chesapeake, who loves the most beautiful buildings all while dodging canoes left right and centre. we've arrived at the weirs long queues are common here and the defense can be dangerous for an experience taurus because it's become mass tourism, which of course benefits many. but it also changes things that could be done that i'd say that the respect for the city and it's unique, cultural science has disappeared, hit on the page, but it's almost so uh, most of the things we used to take for granted that you don't go into church and
9:54 am
swimming trunks, for instance, you posted us fix it, then you set up a civic mir dolly board luis says that worlds are colliding in chesapeake crew loss . many visitors to the over 700 year old town, one to immerse themselves in the sites. others are more interested in partying on the river. a few meters down stream. some checks and their children are taking a break on the river bank. they've been coming here for years, but they, they don't mind the crowds but the boats and everyone's it together. it's great, it's like what more could you want on the water? think these that goal, if you want to think it out, you have to wait to go down the way to back then to my centurylink. nothing is what was the style. they're more concerned by the rising prices about us now often cheaper in australia. so how much tourism is too much? just the crew loss is a testament to what can happen prior to the pandemic, up to $2000000.00 people would defend upon the $13000.00 inhabitant town each year . many come from the us, south korea and china. since 2019,
9:55 am
the town has been charging a fee to regulate the number of buses arriving. the mere says it slowed the crowding as of yet so there are no plans for a similar system. on the vault of a we rejoined rutledge to be check on his raft. in just under an hour, his tour comes to an end. like many roddic benefits from the tourists thronging here, but for him, the balance has to be right for them. yeah, because key to it would be good if everyone realized how unique a wrapped cruise like this is it opens office and people should behave themselves superstar gets the unesco world heritage site after on the list of the targets akasha most important for him though, is that just the crew loves the rafting, tradition and heritage is preserved. no matter how crowded the volta might get.
