the inundated presidents are fed up and taking to the streets to protest their solutions over tourism on the italian island of virginia. the government and the tourism industry happened busy looking for new ideas also, and the citizen fast tracking the baltic nations integration into the u. ukrainian . parcel deliveries, service making new in roads and europe, stream of hydrogen future purchased march, and may ok again, the growing numbers of tourists and rapidly rising rents plus the huge environmental damage cost by cruise ships and scrolling taurus type towns. as in boston, lona and venice. people here feel marginalized and say they have 0 benefit from the

massive revenues and by the big hotel chains. there's also the fear of the successive tourism will destroy what makes that community's unique. danielle, proud, we are kind enough. everything revolves around tourism likelihood savannah danger. we can't find a place to live that just further east in the mediterranean. so denny, it shows that there is another way to do things. the canyon island is home to 1600000 people, while the number of tourists in 2023 amounted to 7 and a half 1000000, don't seem to figure out what's a manageable one. thanks to the local government, working together with the restaurant operators, hotels and b and b's to make tourism of sustainable and at least small barrels the island. it began as 30 years ago when the 1st concepts imaged for saving more to avoiding waste and relying on local food and other products. i was surprised often

on everything we said by the comes from our own garden like vegetables. and i'm also always throw locally right here on the island attempt to find the thing with the meat to fish. we bind local when ever we can, with a 90 percent of welding with animal transportation. i'm guessing you guys, lushly landscaped. forte village result has 1400 beds across its 8 hotels. and dozens of luxury bungalows caused the band from the complex, the vehicles here, icicles and electric studies that powered by solar panels from the buildings roots because southern yet is no show to sun. left over food from the restaurants has come posted onto used for the gardens. the vacation result was bill cyprus, 30 years ago by lorenzo general. see, even back then he was thinking about how to minimize the impact of such a launch complex on the local environments. take was it consumption for example, which adds up to some 1000000 legions. daily drinking morsa

is scarce in southern yet to his, especially off to the heat wave eyes of the previous few weeks. the regional government declared a water emergency to some talents of the islands. lorenzo gen, let's see, had a reservoir built specifically for the hotel many years ago to be as of why been contain up to 350000. so normally during the winter we accumulate enough water to, to fully provide them. we don't need to just to be a week to the current, the water. we just use our he said, why? so we have self sufficient. it's enough to irrigate the trees and gardens to drinking motives, since tendency is far too valuable. the results for that purpose, whether it comes from the main. so the reservoir, which is why the hotel has its own sewage treatment plant. it may not look less

appetizing, but it's certainly appreciated by the environment. we get to the use the water and we recycle. and uh, we use it for uh, the vacation forgot to building so that a civic probation of 700 cubic meter every day. all the water well its of vital importance. i think that you know, the future we cannot to do without that because uh that is uh, obviously the temperature uh increase the products and that any they sell less and less. so i think that this important not to waste a drop of water on the islands. capital is an hours drive away the charming old town. and its range of restaurants may category a tourist magnets, especially in the summer. and it's an ideal base for trips to the sea. 10 years ago

this identity and all thirty's began limiting access to beaches and other popular destinations in order to protect the islands nature and image. the idea is for visitors to keep coming back and not be patrol by mass tourism it was difficult at the very beginning. is that the still difficult nowadays? but the, there's a different approach of from many of our open a door and enterprises to embrace such philosophy sustainability again, that is a saving, something for the next v, z evidence that the concept is lacking. well can be found in many places. hardly any holidaymakers. now we look across the jews that protect the beaches from erosion due to the sign and 6 dining the function. and of course, the rest of substantial finals, and the fleming goes nearby. likewise, remain on the staff. at the hotel complex,

we meet marilyn eletta. she shows guest how to make traditional sardine and pasta specialities by hand using an old family recipes. so not that that allow me more the need to preserve the memory of all tradition seo any better thought crowns. are you 2 generations? i said these things are positive on a lot of reset the history jordan, and i know that i more than i have the deposit amount of the amount that i'm on that long fall i go, but the we can also show to risk. so heritage, it kick westoff, i bought the food. so then i noticed that i storia marlena and that makes her living from that heritage. she's also an artist and decorates, posted in dishes using traditional techniques. she also embroider as codes and textiles in this identity and style together with friends,

performances in hotels and at festivals. she says also introduce visitors to southern and traditional people. the duties ma, eh, you might have yeah, this type of tourism also ideal for us on it. but you know, sort of every 30 up at get because it on particular way of life plays a role here. how does that look like? and because it enables authorities to integrate and they're gonna understand, will say, i mean these and live in southern yeah. because i called the did everybody inside of they now under range of factors related to sustainable tourism. so dania is already doing better than other popular tourist destinations around the globe. but the southern indian ministry of tourism says this, didn't a lot of work to do this, no planet b, there's no such the b and the commitment is that of increasing the areas of with the protected natur just dimension seeks are there

and protecting my, the navy asset to national marine pods and that 3 regional box. so to means that the territory of so the now is lovely and affected or at least upset and more and more to risk. so taking a positive view of assets to promote sustainable tourism. one reason alone, many of them to resent rein travel is sustainable, of course, as well as the low stress way to travel and funds to that expanding real way networks does an expensive enterprise take. this project currently underway in northeastern europe and building a new line linking the baltic nations to poland and beyond the objective to boost productivities and reduce the regions reliance on russia. oil,

if you know if he is on his way to meet the challenge of his life, he's working on the biggest infrastructure project and the history of us tonia. lots here in this way and yeah, the rail baltic, the tracks have to cross several rivers, including the delcava and we go to build the break of our dog away. it's not happening every day. it's on sign in the lights up of during the day. so this is the biggest through our, in the last 2. yeah. 870 kilometers of track. they come with architectural, financial and political challenges. the line is set to run between telling and or so. the builders have to buy up land, cut down for some plan, the exact route. sometimes that is, that comes and you want me instead of transport says okay, i need to provide a new connection there. and there need to provide what say some, some kind of decisions to be there was, uh, for example, or all the expansion projects. and oh, okay, i can understand from governments to the perspective. but there is

a limit of how long you can do it for the project engineers. every change in policy means the tracks have to be planned and new, usually with costs. rising rail baltic goal was expected to cost 6000000000 euros. most of it comes from e u coffers. currently 24000000000 see more accurate and work will take much longer than expected of the up until 2013. we will implement the parts of the project which are really necessary in order to get the trained running from poland up until telling and some of the aspects of the project we'll face out to be on 2013. but planners have learned to make do with what they have instead of 2 parallel tracks, just one track is enough. for now. critics degree the government they say has to focus on what's absolutely necessary. so we have to stop doing the nice to have things like the for example, building the re go central railway station as

a huge station. we should actually focus on the number of priority do the line that it, that it connect 3, g, a villages, talon, to berlin and an ortho. as of yet baltic trains up and running on tracks left over from soviet times. they have a wider track, which means that trains on the baltic states have to be switched onto the car. so the european track system to get into poland for lithuania, connecting the old system to the r p. contract network is the heck union effort battelle tested inst. because as the engineer in charge of the route between countless and miscellaneous, and the board has a lot to yeah, he feels rushed. ever since rushed us one ukraine mix well baltic, a more urgent project. basically that's changed the supply chain because from my deal is that usually it was brought from uh, russian, the billing rush for, for example, now we cannot buy it. and so for example, the steel,

the rebuttal. so it's m m to now we are over the are buying from, from the polish or from uh, another company and that's increasing the project price adding to the pressure is natal. they say that rail baltic could play a major role in moving military goods and future a civilian project, but with a huge submitted terry implications because it will increase the ability is for nato reinforcements to flow into the in this way. and yeah, but not only the 3 and a but also the rest of the phone to countries rust. one ukraine has opened the west for the baltic states independence or most color is more important than ever. and rail baltic is benefiting from this new sense of urgency. the challenges currently facing europe go beyond the sustainability from

a partial delivery service of helping to reconnect millions of ukrainians reflect their homeland. some of the russian invasion nova post is the largest logistics operator in the country, and it's now out to shake off the european market. the logo on display is not very well known here, but that could all change soon. so far, the company is set up branches in 15 european countries where they go by the name of nova post nova posts potential. i'm european market is huge, with close to 6000000 ukrainians. presently living in the u. like this woman who was sending a parcel to her mother it was choose because uh, as soon as her birthday and i just wanted to send small gifts for her. and level courses. feels like it from when you come to live the quite fast it was sending

things. and this is like a small piece of ukraine through you employ of a load of mir, tells us the items that customers sent to ukraine. the most are food and clothes. but these days, it's also power banks and charging stations being shipped due to blackouts after russian attacks. never post prides itself on being fast and customer friendly. with those are clear and put into your very customer oriented. for us, the fact that people are satisfied with our services is probably the most important thing about a 1000 kilometers to the east service, no, the post in central ukraine. this is their largest logistics hub. 20000 packages are processed here every day. 800 people work at the site on a daily basis, but most of the jobs do not require human workers anymore.

or what size and size you're being logistic. that's why is there are people the i just loved came off is one of the co founders of know the post. the company started in 2001 with 2 friends, making deliveries from the trunk of this car. a pause, very difficult to deliver all goods at all around ukraine, and especially for business, especially for small and medium businesses. and they decided to create to some ukrainian d, a show or you create in fedex. today, nova post employees more than 32000 people. they make around 1500000 deliveries every day. their strategy, according to the founder, is the key to their success. the form of all follow up post office is,

is very close to starbucks. spend on this, please. yeah, uh you could see, for example, uh, our post office these uh, these 2 sides on, on cross road. the meaning no, the post and ukraine's, like starbucks in the u. s. is almost everywhere. customers don't have to go far. with countless pick up spots spread across the country, including stores and lockers. never post ames to be customer friendly and digital. their app has 7000000 users in the country of less than 40000000. after some 2 decades of continuous growth, it seemed like a success story might come to an end. in february of 2022. we had to close a lot of our post offices, especially on occupied territories,

but may be in one or 2 once. we understood that to the still life. he had strong financial position in, in finance, so it was for him to offer a star, let's say, for company. but i remember our dashboard 3 days after invasion. visa, 2 percent of our revenue nova post continues to work in all parts of you created can reach, gaining access to front line towns where they provide a lifeline to many in the fall of 2022, they were among the 1st companies to move back into the dx by territories in has own and hockey's, but their proximity to the front lines also flips them at risk. and mark branch as close to the combat zone have been attacked in the past, as well as large logistics ups like this one in hockey even june. but despite the challenges,

the company says it has managed to decrease delivery times within ukraine from 26 to 24 hours since the beginning of the war. now the post and many partners are no longer entirely focused on ukraine. they have for great plan for these expansions, our next step we'll be providing this this saturday is too big e commerce player. so like, uh, uh, alibaba or amazon. but of course now and in the future, do ukrainians in, in the europe will be our key segment of customers. building a bridge to ukrainians abroad is the long term goal, entirely self sufficient? without any help of external partners, the

which energy sources should power in europe. future. sustainability is key. so hydrogen has been touted as one of the main alternatives to oil gas and coal. and ambitious plan. but is it a realistic one? you're getting pretty ambitious about cleaning up its economy by 2050 that comes in in plants to reach. net 0 emissions to a t lives, the continent dispatching big on hydrogen. the miracle fuels less password in the world of energy. let's unpack why that's a mistake. and who's tends to profit from it's on the surface? hydrogen sounds pretty great. you can make it from a new book that expressed it to you with no greenhouse gas emissions. and then the rhetoric lead, use it to clean up all kinds of things, from cars and trucks, and planes, and ships to steal making and electricity production to heat thing. this is the principal has a very good story from looking prospective. it also has the benefit that we can

most likely produce of domestic in 2022. this became even more relevant. russia invaded ukraine and ended up cutting much efforts, natural gas supply to europe, brussels lifted to titles and targets with 10000000 tons of renewable hydrogen, produced annually in the european union by 2030 and another. 10000000 tons an annual import. but despite those targets, not much is actually happening. what, costanza don't only a few pipelines, for example, in the port of lots of them. and in terms of production capacity. in 2023, the well around 213 megawatts of operational electrolyzer. according to an industry study, to produce the envision 10000000 tons by 2030. we need about 600 times more. reality is lagging behind the use big plants. and there's a reason for that. hydrogen is not the miracle solution is your lead us would like

it to be. as we've established green hydrogen is made from renewable electricity. this means that we need to also build a loftus mold. it more than your books. we need to have lots more solar panels, wind farms being puts in place. the problem is this, though, hydrogen is not the most efficient way of using this energy. it's relatively expensive process compounds to the diet use of electricity. so where possible direct the using electricity is the way to go and where it's struggles. we can pull back from hydrogen, but we should use it as possibly as possible. hydrogen as being defined as an addition pain of energy, sunset expensive. it's not for every day. it's for the special locations. this makes the use plants look pretty overblown. but it's not the only problem with them . another as bet, switching things over to a hydrogen is about the height of 10

a. something very small monic, your doctor costs challenges for pipeline materials. in fact, it's the smallest molecule of that means that can slip into tiny cracks in the pipeline. still make it more brittle. and the worst case crickets, you might have heard the term h to reading in relation to this, but also 2 other pieces of gas infrastructure like at n g terminals or power plants. it suggests they can be easily switched to run on hydrogen in the future. but they're actually huge. dips is how much hydrogen they can handle. they might need substantial refitting off the roll before they can carry po hydrogen. like you, you have a diesel car, you wouldn't call that electrical ready car just because you can use to shut up the car issue as have to end up getting the entire car. and that that's the same principle. also that's close to no green hydrogen available. and that's not likely to change soon, crusty repeating union, only 0.2 percent of dedicated production is made from electrolysis. almost the

entire rest is gray hydrogen made from fossil fuels, meaning natural gas, which creates lots of c o 2 emissions. meanwhile, europe keeps building gas infrastructure that's supposedly it's true ready. but since there's no green hydrogen available, it could end up getting used to natural gas or different types of hydrogen. it's a very high risk that it will be using hydrogen which is either great or not properly do. now, blue hydrogen is also made from natural gas. what's different is that produces claim. they have to carbon on a massive scale before it reaches the atmosphere and then store it will cause it not properly blue because the technology behind this hasn't been proven properly working. scale. at this point in time is very, very limited. it's technical capacity to tips up um, uh, carbon into it to produce through hydrogen that is accepted. but from the kind of

protection perspective. meaning if we rely on blue hydrogen, we extend the life of natural gas and create emissions in the process. exactly what hydrogen was supposed to help avoid. it's the natural gas industry that's been loving for building more infrastructure and making glue hydrogen. clearly, the pictures important part frontier observatory and you'll come through lobby registers. they found that out of the 100 because loving groups in the u. 255, and $1.00 way or another, advocated for hydrogen and brussels. among them you find many fossil fuel majors, but also some trade groups and organizations. european decision making curious commission that they're very, very happy to meet with them in the general, excuse these they have the expertise definitely called us, we need to talk to them. but of course they're there to serve their own interest. they see this as the perfect way of continuing their business. so way to solve that,

leave us. well, hydrogen is part of the solution, but no silver bullet. if it's ro gets over hyped, it can lead to expensive, inefficient and even climate damaging choices. and then your theme commission does seem to be back tracking and the most recent climate scenario that predicts 3000000 tons of green hydrogen will be produced in the u and 2013, which is a lot less than the 10000000 tons. they send us the official target. this could be a sign that the hydrogen hype is starting to crumble. and reality is taking over. that's it for this edition of made, looking at tourism and innovative new concepts that are sitting local visitors and the environment. so much time for you as the to the point strong opinions,

international perspective. this weeks tell the vice presidential debate in the us was a study in contrast with kinda law jairus promising hope and opportunity. and donald trump focusing on risk and threats, which you probably the point next. on d w. i think it's a moving his magical place. let me let you find train and don't get all your local exits. take you on an i'm forget to bu journey across the emerald w the

the inventory, and click the . it's a study in contrast, cumberland harris and donald trump. the candidates aspiring to the us presidency displayed fiercely divergent visions and values once again in their televised debate. in one corner, harris for the democrats, the former prosecutor pledges generational change and an opportunity economy. strong alliances and support for americans, friends abroad. and the other corner, former president donald trump, for the republicans, promising to hype terrace, cut taxes, and shut down immigration. one thing is certain, the 2024 vote will deeply impact us relation.
