[00:00:00] Anja was born here, but left very young. At that
[00:00:04] time, the place seemed cramped, boring to her, she lived
[00:00:07] in the Czech Republic and France, then near Munich, she did
[00:00:11] not expect
[00:00:12] to return.
[00:00:18] There are more people here, it feels like, more people who are eager to do something,
[00:00:22] more young people, it's actually almost every weekend there's
[00:00:24] something going on. And Anja wanted to give back to the
[00:00:27] community, so she founded an organization.
[00:00:47] recently next to Asada from Afghanistan and then they realized, oh, we live on the same
[00:00:51] street, we are neighbors and yes,
[00:00:53] she needed someone to help the children a bit with homework, he
[00:00:58] surface, on needed someone to help her with shopping and...
[00:01:08] Alternative for Germany convincingly won the state elections and
[00:01:13] almost won an absolute majority. If it came to power, it would be the first time in post-war
[00:01:17] Germany
[00:01:19] that a far-right party would lead a state.
[00:01:23] Anja Reismann and Thomas Haberkorn perceive this as
[00:01:26] a danger.
[00:01:30] uh the breaking of the neck for all those last over 10 years that we
[00:01:34] have invested in personal commitment in the city, in
[00:01:37] the place, in the country and that really makes me
[00:01:41] angry. I know, um, people who
[00:01:44] then, um, really want to move away, yes, so they
[00:01:48] clearly say, okay, if um, if that's an
[00:01:51] AfD for the federal state, then I don't want to live here, not here,
[00:01:55] there are people especially from the migrant community,
[00:01:59] um, who here um, see a
[00:02:03] professional perspective, maybe also have a job offer, who think very carefully,
[00:02:07] should I come to Saxony? and one
[00:02:09] scientific study shows that a rightward shift deters
[00:02:13] skilled labor. Thomas and Anja
[00:02:15] certainly remain in Zeitz, although dissatisfied with
[00:02:19] the shift to the right, they notice that people are closing ranks.
[00:02:23] Those who were engaged in the community are now even more
[00:02:26] dedicated to making Zeitz an even better place.
[00:02:33] channel DV Focus where you can also watch The Black Sea has become the front line of the war between Russia and Ukraine,
[00:02:37] your attention, goodbye. a battleground where food is destroyed,
[00:02:40] especially for the poorer regions
[00:02:43] of the world. The Black Sea route for grain transport from
[00:02:47] Ukrainian and Russian fields is a burden for the warring
[00:02:50] parties who deliberately attack ships with
[00:02:53] grain. Damaged vessels end up in
[00:02:56] Turkey, where a new business has flourished.
[00:03:00] At the Istanbul shipyard, there is a new, growing
[00:03:04] business: repairing cargo ships damaged by
[00:03:07] Russian or Ukrainian forces. This grain carrier
[00:03:10] was the latest target, one of several
[00:03:14] hundred ships hit in the Black Sea in recent
[00:03:17] months. Assistant Manager Omer Butun
[00:03:21] says that the extent of the damage shows that the ship was attacked with
[00:03:24] the aim of killing
[00:03:26] the crew.
[00:03:30] the accommodation part of the vessel was hit by the drones because
[00:03:33] they want to hit the captain or the
[00:03:36] crew, not transportation means
[00:03:39] no earnings for the country, this is a
[00:03:43] big repair works and it is
[00:03:46] difficult for ship owners to repair the vessel or
[00:03:49] maybe scrap the vessel, depends of the
[00:03:53] situation. button is already preparing to welcome
[00:03:56] the next damaged ship on...
[00:04:31] In recent months, Ukraine and Russia have intensified attacks on
[00:04:35] cargo ships, targeting crucial
[00:04:38] grain exports. The Turkish Chamber of Shipping
[00:04:42] estimates that over 160 ships have been targeted this year,
[00:04:45] while around one hundred ships are currently seeking
[00:04:49] safety in Black Sea ports. Russia and Ukraine
[00:04:52] together account for more than a quarter of the world's
[00:04:56] wheat exports, a large portion of which goes to ports on the Black
[00:05:00] Sea. Reckless attacks on ships and ports
[00:05:04] have almost completely paralyzed this trade
[00:05:07] route. While Moscow and Kyiv try
[00:05:10] to find alternative routes. International grain broker
[00:05:14] John Atpasoglu notes that prices are
[00:05:18] rising. Chicago wheat
[00:05:21] prices reached mul multi-year
[00:05:25] highs on Friday, so it
[00:05:28] is, it is being effective. It is not
[00:05:31] quite like a jump like doubling like it happened
[00:05:34] in the first year of the war, but it we
[00:05:38] can say it increased like
[00:05:41] almost 30% of.
[00:06:09] this struggle over grain, on which the countries of the Middle East and Africa depend, some of the most
[00:06:14] impoverished in the world, thus paying the price of conflict are those who absolutely
[00:06:17] cannot afford it.
[00:06:20] They are masters of their craft, coming from the roof of the world, from
[00:06:24] the Himalayas, in Norway they build stairs to
[00:06:28] heaven, well, towards heaven, not quite to
[00:06:32] heaven. They are the famous Sherpas, Nepalese
[00:06:35] builders known for their skill in building
[00:06:38] stone staircases, but how did they end up
[00:06:41] in...
[00:06:45] Nima Sherpa is almost 60 km away from his
[00:06:49] home in Nepal. Every year, he travels to Norway with
[00:06:53] a team of other Sherpas. Together,
[00:06:56] they manually build stone staircases on some of Norway's most famous
[00:07:00] hiking trails.
[00:07:13] For almost 20 years, the Sherpas, an indigenous people from
[00:07:16] the Himalayas, have been manually building these Sherpa
[00:07:19] stairs or Sherpa trappa, as the Norwegians
[00:07:22] call them.
[00:07:25] Today, these stairways to heaven have themselves become an attraction,
[00:07:28] bringing the mountains closer to hikers of all ages and
[00:07:31] abilities.
[00:07:35] So far, they have completed more than 200 staircases,
[00:07:39] ranging from 10 to more than 400 steps.
[00:07:46] How did the Sherpas from Nepal end up building stone staircases in
[00:07:49] Norway?
[00:07:53] More than 20 years ago, carpenter Geir Vetti
[00:07:57] was working on renovating a mountain farm, but the terrain was
[00:08:00] too steep for machinery, and the job was too demanding for most
[00:08:03] workers.
[00:09:07] From here, visitors can look across the Akrafjord
[00:09:10] and safely approach the edge of the mighty waterfall to
[00:09:14] take the perfect photograph.
[00:09:25] For Nima and his team, building these paths is more than
[00:09:29] a job. It is also a spiritual
[00:09:30] act.
[00:09:33] As Buddhists, above the stone paths they build, they place prayer
[00:09:37] flags, believing that the wind carries blessings and good
[00:09:41] wishes across the mountains.
[00:09:43] Bulgaria will be the center of the music world in a few months.
[00:09:47] With its victory at this year's Eurovision, the first in its history,
[00:09:51] Bulgaria automatically became the host of the next
[00:09:54] edition of the popular competition, specifically
[00:09:57] the city of Burgas, not Sofia, not Plovdiv, but
[00:10:01] Burgas, a tourist destination on the Black Sea coast
[00:10:05] which is facing an influx of fans of light music
[00:10:08] festivals. Is Burgas even ready for all
[00:10:11] of that? "After Dara won Eurovision this year
[00:10:15] with her song Bangaranga, the Eurovision
[00:10:19] Song Contest 2027
[00:10:22] is coming to Bulgaria for the first time in history. The world's biggest
[00:10:26] music competition will not be held in the capital Sofia
[00:10:30] but in Burgas on the Black Sea coast. The fact that the city managed
[00:10:33] to win against Sofia, Plovdiv, and Varna
[00:10:37] surprised many Bulgarians, but also the residents of Burgas.
[00:10:41] It didn't surprise us at all. From the very beginning, we were sure that
[00:10:44] Burgas would win. We have the sea, the airport is relatively
[00:10:47] close. A very nice hall, which was recently built,
[00:10:51] huge, a great hall,
[00:10:54] and it's suitable. The base is huge. The
[00:10:57] Eurovision Song Contest can bring significant economic benefits
[00:11:00] to host cities. For example, in
[00:11:04] 2026, Vienna hosted around
[00:11:06] 320,000 people at events related to
[00:11:10] Eurovision. A similar number of visitors could arrive
[00:11:13] in Burgas via the city's international airport.
[00:11:17] However, once visitors arrive in Burgas, the situation
[00:11:21] becomes more complex. The city has no subway,
[00:11:25] nor trams, most additional passengers
[00:11:28] will therefore have to be transported by buses.
[00:11:31] Currently, city buses transport up to
[00:11:35] 72,000 passengers daily.
[00:11:38] The Mayor of Burgas, Dimitar Nikolov, says that preparations
[00:11:41] for the additional influx of visitors are already
[00:11:44] underway. We are an exceptionally open European city,
[00:11:48] a seaside center, we have had
[00:11:50] the opportunity for many years to welcome
[00:11:53] nationalities, ethnicities. all kinds of people from all over
[00:11:56] the world, so with additional strengthening of
[00:11:59] transport logistics, even better connectivity between
[00:12:03] all settlements around Burgas, I am convinced that we will
[00:12:06] manage. The venue for Eurovision should
[00:12:10] be Burgas Arena. The hall opened in
[00:12:13] 2023.
[00:12:15] It has about 7,000 seats and a capacity of up to
[00:12:19] 15,000 people.
[00:12:23] It is already clear that for the needs of the competition, the hall will need
[00:12:26] additional adaptation.
[00:12:29] The Eurovision Song Contest could now
[00:12:33] make Burgas famous worldwide. Until
[00:12:36] next May, there is still a lot of work ahead for
[00:12:39] the organizers. But already, a wave of
[00:12:43] enthusiasm is spreading through Burgas.
[00:12:46] That's all for today. More interesting stories from Europe or a free

[00:13:26] and its beauties from another perspective,
[00:13:40] heaven and
[00:13:40] earth,
[00:13:49] under the slopes of Prenj and Čvrsnica, along the banks of the
[00:13:53] blue Neretva. Located there is one of the smaller
[00:13:56] municipalities in Bosnia and
[00:13:58] Herzegovina.
[00:14:03] Today we fly over
[00:14:05] Jablanica.
[00:14:14] In this municipality, about 10,000
[00:14:17] inhabitants live, and unfortunately, the situation is similar to
[00:14:21] a large number of Bosnian-Herzegovinian municipalities.
[00:14:32] Unemployment in Jablanica is high, and
[00:14:35] the employed part of the population is mostly
[00:14:38] engaged in agriculture, beekeeping, stone and wood processing,
[00:14:41] and
[00:14:43] hospitality.
[00:14:50] This small town abounds in significant
[00:14:53] natural and cultural heritage resources.
[00:14:56] There are numerous monuments located in the area of this
[00:15:00] city that have been declared national
[00:15:03] monuments of Bosnia and
[00:15:05] Herzegovina.
[00:15:08] One of the most famous such monuments is the memorial
[00:15:12] complex of the Battle for the Wounded on
[00:15:15] the Neretva.
[00:15:22] This memorial complex is related to the commemoration
[00:15:25] of the Battle of Neretva, and it was officially opened
[00:15:29] on November 12, 1978,
[00:15:32] on the occasion of the 35th anniversary
[00:15:35] of the Battle of Neretva, by
[00:15:37] Josip Broz
[00:15:39] Tito.
[00:15:45] The most important exhibit of this memorial complex
[00:15:48] is the destroyed bridge over the Neretva River, which
[00:15:52] also represents the symbol of the Battle for
[00:15:54] the Wounded.
[00:15:59] Within the complex are the remains
[00:16:01] of the narrow-gauge railway and a wagon with
[00:16:05] a locomotive.
[00:16:44] In the upper part of the Neretva's course, a dam was built,
[00:16:47] and thus in 1953,
[00:16:51] the Jablanica Lake was created.
[00:17:12] This artificial lake stretches from Konjic to Jablanica.
[00:17:30] During the summer season, it attracts a large number of
[00:17:33] visitors who come to swim and camp.
[00:17:38] But as it is rich in diverse fish, it is a frequent
[00:17:41] destination for fishermen.
[00:18:10] The Herzegovinian jewel, the River Neretva, carved the most beautiful
[00:18:14] part of its canyon in the area around Jablanica.
[00:18:34] Shady banks overgrown with coniferous and beech
[00:18:37] forest make this part of the Neretva's course enchanting.
[00:19:46] The indispensable natural wealth located in
[00:19:49] the area of Jablanica is the unique Prenj
[00:19:53] gorge.
[00:20:02] It is adorned with a large number of valleys and canyons with
[00:20:05] high peaks and cliffs.
[00:20:16] The highest peak, Zelena Glava, is as high as
[00:20:19] 2155 meters, while parts of
[00:20:23] Prenj towards the banks of the Neretva in steep
[00:20:26] sections are 700 to
[00:20:29] 800
[00:20:30] meters high.
[00:20:40] A few kilometers away from the center of Jablanica,
[00:20:43] Blidinje Nature Park
[00:20:45] is located.
[00:20:50] This is an area where many endemic species of
[00:20:53] flora and fauna can be found, as well as a large
[00:20:56] number of sources of clean and
[00:21:00] potable
[00:21:00] water.
[00:21:04] Blidinje Nature Park is rich in archaeological
[00:21:07] sites, considering that here is a necropolis
[00:21:10] with 150 stećak tombstones in Dugo
[00:21:13] Polje, which now has the status of a national
[00:21:17] monument of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
[00:21:22] However, the most famous natural attraction is Blidinje
[00:21:26] Lake. This is also the largest
[00:21:29] mountain lake in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is located at
[00:21:33] an altitude of 1184
[00:21:36] m,
[00:21:41] and during the winter period, it completely freezes
[00:21:44] and turns into a glassy
[00:21:48] which it is possible to see reflections of the peaks of
[00:21:51] Čvrsnica.
[00:22:00] Although Jablanica is perhaps best known for
[00:22:04] Jablanica Lamb, which Jablanica residents say
[00:22:07] is the best in all of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
[00:22:10] The richness with which this small municipality abounds will
[00:22:14] nonetheless retain every visitor in both summer
[00:22:17] and winter, and provide a complete experience
[00:22:20] for everyone. The mountains, Prenj and Čvrsnica, are
[00:22:24] known as attractive destinations for hunting and
[00:22:27] mountaineering. Jablanica Lake
[00:22:30] is ideal for swimming and fishing in summer, and Blidinje
[00:22:34] Nature Park is ideal in winter.
[00:23:02] Bosnia and Herzegovina
[00:23:06] and its beauties from another perspective.
[00:30:24] Dear viewers, good evening, welcome to
[00:30:26] the news.
[00:30:30] Farmers in the Federation are demanding the declaration of
[00:30:33] a natural disaster due to prolonged drought. If urgent aid is not provided, a significant drop
[00:30:37] in domestic production and mass closure of farms across
[00:30:40] the Federation, and new
[00:30:42] price increases for citizens,
[00:30:46] the situation is...
[00:30:49] I don't remember it ever being harder regarding
[00:30:53] these disasters
[00:30:55] like this.
[00:30:58] in the news.
