The depicting ministers who support to be very technical an expert they have no knowledge and education or experience in the security sector. Protest organizers in hong kong say more than 1700000 antigovernment demonstrators have rallied through the night they showed up despite the heavy rain and one of the largest gathering since june many said they wanted to prove that peaceful but the term and what the hamid reports from hong kong. Its becoming the norm in hong kong for 11 weekends straight streams of prodemocracy protesters on the streets hundreds of thousands filled Victoria Park and his surroundings toby kwok and her husband have taken part in most of the rally so far this time they brought their 2 Young Children on sunday based on my student to learn up our what is happening in hong kong and what we are fighting for i wanted to experience this in person about it i just why its right and what if. It is a historical moment and many others also said they came to denounce the Police Crackdown on protesters and put pressure on a government they feel is ignoring them with each week that passes angry increases and the divided government grows deeper and so from the initial demands of revoking the extradition bill now there are 5 demands that the protesters here say they wont back down from. The. Among the demands democratic reform and the withdrawal of criminal charges against gordon 700. 00 protesters who have been detained so far but for just to enjoy there is one demand that takes priority i think is the Police Brutality they have to have an investigation about other stuff. The people who live here they will not feel safe after the leader we just feel like we. Walk in the dark this is really frustrating and scared journey for us for me i cannot speak for anyone to for me just feeling really lost authorities had only granted permission for a rally in the park. But this by the heavy rain they marched under street. And some took their grievances yet again to deceit of Hong Kong Central government. Laser pointers have become a sign of defiance for some demonstrators veterans of the street protests after 3 turbulent months among them ranger not his real name who says hes ready to fight if need be because our decisions are based on police moves if they prime porus protesters we will take action because we are united and we dont want anyone to be detained we dont confront them if they dont harass us on previous protests have seen clashes between activists and police but this weekends rally ended peacefully ranger and his friends melted away with the crowd it wont be long before theyre back on the streets of hong kong put up that Hamid Al Jazeera who called. Andrew thomas who is back on the streets of hong kong this morning and has more reaction to the rally. I spoke to one of the organizers lights on sunday and she told me that the rally was a huge success for one primary reason turnout at the organizers said in advance that they were hoping that half a 1000000 people would type they say 1700000 people at some point were either in Victoria Park where the official rally was or was part of the throng in the straights around and that number doesnt even include those who came subsequently in march to where i am in Central Hong Kong to i think the overall number could have been in excess of 2000000 putting it at a poll with one of the big rallies that they held back in june and thats despite all the violence that we have seen but smaller rallies are office more rallies since the beginning of july so they would say what they are saying but that proves they still have ordinary mainstream hong kong Public Opinion on their side now i should say that the place but a much lower number on the turnout by say that the Victoria Park itself about 130000 people in it but i dont include those in the streets around nevertheless it was a huge number and that despite 2 great to try to right the other way it was a success is the way that it ended not with bodies and now it is in hong kong thats the exception rather than the rule the organizers the civil human rights front of oncoming side of that proves that it isnt a radical element that is cooling all these democratic reforms in hong kong for the resignation of the chief executive terry lam and pull the legal withdrawal of this contradiction controversial extradition law in his mind through hong kong but still wants that so thats where were at to see where we go from here but if they can keep the numbers on the streets keep the violence down then this debate could continue in a civil way rather than the same to the way weve seen recently. Still ahead on aljazeera they didnt have munch now theyre left with nothing thousands of people homeless after a slum fire in bangladesh. I think the real estate bit like the u. S. President wants to buy green line. Mostly dry conditions across much of the middle east even across into pakistan less of those. And slightly less in the forecast over the next couple of days we have those seen some pretty strong storms across northern sections of turkey that continuing to clear out of the picture but this is how it looks in turkey across into istanbul in literally 24 hours ago the streets were absolutely flooded inundated with these rain water is about 6 or 7 millimeters came down in a very short space of time so the ground is always flooded on the streets as you can see fairly deserted as that rain continue to come down now it is clear and dry for now hot elsewhere 45 degrees in baghdad 44 in kuwait city on monday and how much is a very nice actually an anchor for the next couple of days 25 degrees celsius as we head on into choose day then for the south the conditions are hot and dry as you would expect and a bit of cloud in the southwest of yemen but elsewhere it has holes but touches not holes as we have seen lately so 39 in doha and a very nice 26 celsius and with a bit of an all natural flow there as well further to the south Southern Africa a good couple of days across into cape maybe we had 3 monday durban staying dry for the next couple of days a mix of cloud and sunshine and maybe just an almost sure shower the into the south coast of mozambique. Sponsored by town and. Were talking about i reports have decimated populations of elephants and they almost always ship the ivory out of a different country from where it was ok because then we start the search looking in the wrong place this radio carbon dating method can tell us if. Trade ivory is legal then we have a place we can focus Law Enforcement on take those out and perhaps choke the source of the ip from entering the take this time around and just you know. Come back youre watching aljazeera time to recap our headlines now dear amy an Oil Tanker Held for 6 weeks off the coast of gibraltar has set sail formally the grace one its now known as the adrian daddy i want. To refuse the request from the u. S. Department of justice to seize the vessel. Families in afghanistan have begun burying those killed in a suicide bombing at a wedding in kabul on saturday the 63 people died and 200 others were injured i saw as claimed responsibility for the attack the deadliest in the Afghan Capital in more than 18 months organizers in hong kong say more than 1700000 antigovernment protesters rallied through the night it was one of the biggest demonstrations the territory has seen in recent weeks police say the number was significantly smaller. Now sudans military and Opposition Coalition are expected to confirm the names of the Sovereign Council in the coming hours the 2 sides signed a historic power sharing agreement on saturday following a military coup in april that ousted president Bashir Bashir will appear in court on monday hes facing corruption charges here but morgan reports from khartoum on the political challenges still lie ahead. Big. You outside this little bakery in sudans capital ha tomb means theres more pressure on safety. The baker says flour isnt as cost as it was 9 months ago so people dont expect a shortage but because of other reasons there is a shortage of usual mocksville was there is a shortage of fuel and we dont know why it has resulted in a shortage of bread produced we have had to cart of a sack on bread we bagged and sell bread shortage in december sparked a protest that quickly became a nationwide call for the countrys long time president obama to be sure to step down he was deposed by the military in april after months of demonstrations the military and protest leaders have now agreed to form a Transitional Government. A final power sharing agreement was signed on saturday after months of talks paving way for whats many sudanese hope will be a new start. But the upcoming Transitional Government has 39 months to function as per the deal and many issues to tackle before elections are held at the end of its term. Here and was never our 1st of all and that we have put a Transitional Government is accountability for all those who did wrong to the people of this country no one should be about accountability and there should be a free and fair to carry to deliver justice. To the international a geisha will stop short of that that leaves a lot needs to be done and the government needs to work on delivering health care and education economy is important because were suffering we cant get food or transport easily we want Better Services and those are just among the many issues facing people here the Transitional Government will have to deal with the various conflicts around the country and the armed groups waging them some of those groups who are also part of the Opposition Coalition have rejected the agreement it will need to work on sudans kremlin constitution as well and hold elections all in a government thats just hours between the military and civilian. The talks to form the true. Government werent always smooth they broke down several times before the deal was reached some analysts say how the 2 sides work in their partnership will have an impact not just within the country but in its relations with other countries. Just with sudan is on the u. S. List of states sponsoring terrorism and to lift it a lot of issues need to be resolved with regards to internal politics like the issues of war and peace in the country the main problem between the 2 sides who begin issues related to conflict and security with a deal find many like safe will be looking to see what changes come their way sudan is now a nation waiting to see if its new government will be able to fulfill the demands of millions of its citizens people morgan argues the khartoum migrants have attempted to swim ashore from a rescue ship anchored off the coast of italy for many life jackets trying to reach the shore before being stopped by crewmembers italy wont let the open arms vessel gone the captain has rejected an offer from spain saying hes an emergency situation on board the ship was carrying 107 people rescued from the mediterranean mainly from africa meanwhile more than 350 people are still stranded on a humanitarian rescue boat off the coast of malta the ocean viking vessel is operated by 2 aid groups including Doctors Without Borders its been refused entry to ports in both italy and malta. The order of the presumed minors the presumed refugees fleeing a presumed war presumed people know im alone against everyone the Prime Minister wrote to me to let people get off the boat need to end up in jail because i defended the borders and security of this country i will do so if need be. Turkey has stopped more than 300 migrants and refugees trying to reach the greek island of last waltz turkey says the number of people risking their lives to cross the less is increasing nearly 700 people rescued from the mediterranean last week and 2015 the e. U. And ankara signed an agreement aimed at stopping migrants using turkey to reach the e. U. A devastating fire is that thousands of people homeless in the bangladeshi capital the blaze swept through a large slum in darker poor area took several hours to put out a number of people were injured but no deaths were reported this time the child the roof falls when the people have lost everything. The challenge now looks like a wasteland thousands of shanty homes went up in flames in a few hours several people were injured and nearly 3000. 00 families lost their homes like many others in the slums of dhaka mohammad free is a migrant from another part of bangladesh where displaced due to river erosion we dont own any land irans any government homes we very poor we live day to day if we get some help we may rebuild in make a living authorities said they have made arrangements so that the slum dwellers left homeless by the fire can stay in schools in the neighborhood for now john are a big and says she has nowhere to go and not much to eat it was sort of c money again there was a fire here and we had to flee with no time to take anything with us if anyone gives us them we can eat we just live in the street now its not clear how many people are homeless according to the government about 750 shanties were burned down and 450 damaged but. One where a big loss to life savings modeler barrel i had 12 and everything was burned i barely escaped with what im wearing now i had some gold and around 3500. 00 in cash but i couldnt bring anything with me i just managed to lock my door Disaster Ministry official said the government has provided 500. 00 tons of rice and more than 15000. 00 to help those affected but many are more concerned how they will rebuild their homes and their lives the unwanted money up with the monkey if our Prime Minister has some empathy for us he can help us the poor maybe we can. Our home here over here again. Fires at factories slums and markets are common in bangladesh as there are few if any Safety Measures Emergency Services said there are about 43 fire incidents every day and more than 1000 people have died in fires this year alone most who live in slums are low wages and have very little choice as to where they can leave people here said they have lost everything and their feel devastated some of the people have been living in this slum for more than 20 years many are trying to salvage what they can uncertain about what their future will hold and where they will leave next. Aljazeera Dhaka Bangladesh the un high commissioner for refugees says more needs to be done to tackle venezuelas migration crisis more than 4000000 venezuelans have fled economic and political turmoil in their country since 2015 most of ended up in neighboring countries peru colombia chile and brazil for the program there has been in brazil lobbying for better treatment of the migrants donald trump has confirmed reports hes interested in the u. S. Buying greenland the island between the north atlantic an arctic ocean is a semi autonomous danish territory denmarks Prime Minister said greenland is not for sale calling the idea of selling it to the us absurd but the u. S. President says it could be bought for strategic reasons a lot of things could be done sensually its a large real estate deal a lot of things could be done. Hurting denmark very badly because youre losing almost 700000000. 00 youre carrying so they carry it at a great loss and strategically for the United States it would be nice. U. S. President s have paid for it throughout the countrys history in 1803. 00 Thomas Jefferson bolt huge tracts of land in louisiana from france full 15000000. 00 in 1967 Andrew Johnson paid 7 point 2000000. 00 for alaska from russia and in 1917 the danish west indies cost 25000000. 00 before being renamed the u. S. Virgin islands john hendren has more from washington d. C. For president Donald Trumps idea of the u. S. Buying greenland might sound like a strange idea but there is a logic to it greenland like other arctic countries has vast Natural Resources Oil Natural Gas fishing and sea lanes that carry goods through to asia other countries have been increasingly claiming arctic territory including russia and trump has been an outspoken admirer of lattimer putin the idea according to the wall street journal 1st came up when trump floated it in the spring of 2018 to aids half seriously according to the article but white house economic adviser larry kudlow confirms that there have been conversations in the white house President Trump confirmed as much on sunday but greenland says no the premier there can kills and says the island is not for sale and in the parent country of denmark the Prime Minister met a fredrickson says she hopes this is not a serious idea but the u. S. Would not have to actually by agreement in order to have a closer relationship the u. S. Already has its northernmost air force base on greenland that is through air force base and the country seems open to a closer relationship the premier there said greenland is open for trade in cooperation with other countries including the United States. Now 2 kayakers of had a lucky escape after a glacier collapsed in southern alaska this video shows the moment part of the spent a great page in just over a week ago a collapse created a huge wave across spencer lake which sent the kayak is fleeing as fast as they could but the paras scaped with no injuries despite one being hit in the ribs by use of my knife. Lets take you through some of the headlines here now just now the iranian Oil Tanker Held for 6 weeks off the coast of gibraltar has set sail formally the grace one it is now known as the Adrian Valley a one earlier this year brought a requested rejected rather a request from the u. S. Department of justice to seize the vessel families in afghanistan have begun burying those killed in a suicide bombing at a wedding in kabul on saturday at least 63 people died and 200 were injured i saw claimed responsibility for the attack it was the worst in the Afghan Capital more than 18 months organizers in hong kong say more than 1700000 antigovernment protesters rallied through the night one of the biggest demonstrations the territory has seen in recent weeks Andrew Thomas has more from hong kong. The other way it was a success is the way that it ended not with pilots and nowadays in hong kong thats the exception rather than the rule the organizers the civil human rights front of one kong say that that proves that it isnt a radical element that is calling for these democratic reforms in hong kong for the resignation of the chief executive kerry lamb and paul the legal withdrawal of this contradiction controversial extradition law is made to hong kong but still wants that so thats where were at well see where we go from here but if they do keep the numbers on the streets keep the violence down then this debate could continue in a civil way rather than the same to the way weve seen recently at least 20 people are feared to have died when a fuel tanker exploded in western uganda be explosion happened when b. Tanker overturned burst into flames the fire engulfed 2 buses and destroyed nearby buildings. Donald trump has confirmed reports he is interested in the us buying greenland for strategic reasons the island between the north atlantic and arctic ocean is a semi autonomous danish territory then marks Prime Minister has said greenland is not for sale calling the idea absent. The headlines the news continues after techno. On counting the cost to india 1. 00 of the biggest defense spending is in the world but emmy emerging superpower ramp up at security purely on imports plus the young people tap into the world of sports and streaming services we are pay t. V. Killing off nice sports. Counting the cost on aljazeera. The big breaking news story it can be chaotic and trying to behind the scenes. People shouting instructions in your ear youre trying to provide the best most curious todays information as quickly as you can. Its when you come off air on things seemed to be realized in witness history in the making. This is techno a show about innovations that can change lives the science of fight fire were going to explore the intersection of hardware and humanity and were doing it in the unique way. This is a show about science no not by scientists tonight techno investigates ivory trail theyve tried to seize it. Bernie but nothing has stopped the terrible trade in the legal ivory. Now. New tools straight from the lab that could find a crime thats brought elephants to the brink of extinction giving a seizure is a great victory but that owns the already dead. From rita davis and is an environmental biologist i am holding a tray of an elephant who should show us the high tech plan to stop the killing. Then celine stranded along the california freeway yes freeway doctors should do some more is a mechanical engineer chill show us whats been done to find on the. This is happening at this stage of a feeling distressed and im still taurus im an entomologist events our team maybe. Know its do some science. Techno on phil toys joined by maria to davison and dr shu some more because there were outlaws out there who are working in the shadows committing horrible acts against defenseless majestic animals were talking about the ivory poachers who have decimated the populations of elephants in africa and its really a nominee because ivory guy is for about a 1000. 00 a pound. Than an Illegal Drugs and you know what that means is that the damage has been devastating over 100000 elephants have been killed in just the last 3 years and the question is what can we do about it we found a team of scientists that are using some unexpected weapons d. N. A. And radiocarbon dating check it out. April 18th 2015. Customs intercepts 4 tonnes of ivory smuggled in being sacks from the democratic republic of congo. It is the largest seizure in this countrys history the ivory on the way to allow those seized in bangkok after a tip the seizure makes headlines customs displayed over 3 tons of confiscated african ivory worth 6000000 dollars a historic bus route from kenya somebodys. 900. 00 elephants but the perpetrators of this horrible crime against animals are never caught for Law Enforcement entities like interpol stopping the killing of elephants at the source is whats critical. The question ends where exactly is all this ivory coming from they almost always shipped the ivory out of a different country from where it was poached. Because thats where you start your search looking in the wrong place sam wasser is the director of the center for conservation biology at the university of washington. When it comes to solving the mysteries of the illegal trade wasser has created a coalition of scientists virtual detectives using techniques indian extract from ivory. Genetic mapping through dung sampling and radiocarbon dating this multipronged approach attacks a criminal enterprise thats brought the majestic African Elephant to the brink of extinction and theres probably only 450000. 00 elephants left so the whole focus of our lab is to really try to use d. N. A. Assignment of large overseas or. Singapore 2000 to 6 and a half tons of ivory seized the largest in the countrys history roughly 650 elephants were killed for this haul of ivory. But where in africa did the ivory originate from they assume this much ivory must come from multiple sources authorities send samples to washers lab for analysis right now from anywhere in africa we can assign a seizure of ivory closer than 300 kilometers to where it came from wasser and his team get to work the 1st step is to prepare the samples of seized ivory. We cut off a piece of the ivory and then when we do is we stick that piece inside a plastic tube with a magnet and stain the steel plugs on the end we drop that in liquid nitrogen which cools it to about minus 240. 00 degrees celsius so extremely cold within 3 minutes it comes out like baby powder. So its just a pulse so its a hole over us is the ivory and it preserves the d. N. A. At the same time that was one of the biggest breakthroughs of our. Elephant d. N. A. From the ivory seized in singapore is extracted and analyzed in washers lab the d. N. A. From the tusks is then matched against a genetic reference map of africas elephant populations this map has been generated by d. N. A. Taken from another source rich in elephant d. N. A. I am holding a tray of elephant hoop not exactly something youd associate as a tool for fighting International Crime from a separate family group wasser was able to determine the origin of the 6 and a half tons of ivory seized in singapore and shipped out of malawi it all came from a neighboring country zambia. Wasserstein had made a discovery that would revolutionize Law Enforcements approach to poaching basically the study debunked some of the assumptions that you and interpol has brought up earlier that. We need an urgent method that stops the killing even getting a seizure is a great victory but the owners are already dead. Last month singaporean customs seized another shipment of ivory coming out of kenya and headed for vietnam 3. 00 tons worth an estimated 8000000. 00 singaporean authorities have already contacted wasser to oversee d. N. A. Analysis washers lab and now receive samples from over 90 percent of all marj i have receivers what we are trying to really do is to figure out where are the major poaching hotspots across africa his latest study based on d. N. A. Analysis of 28 seizures between 19062014 reveals there may be only 2 major hotspots for poaching in africa southern tanzania and a place known as the tri them. When youre saying hot spots you mean hot spots of poaching activity hotspots of seizure activity what are you referring to a hot spot is a place where you are able to provide multiple tons of ivory repeatedly over multiple years then we have a place we can focus Law Enforcement on take those out and perhaps choke the source of the ivory from entering the network and unravel it so thats the big plan. A techno crew member is on vacation in thailand when he comes across this all too common display hes told of their ivory pieces all. Up for sale for a price the sale of ivory to foreigners is illegal in thailand yet as our camera reveals it goes on as this old newsreel footage shows ivory was once very popular. Across the center is owed but all that changed in 1990 when the International Trade in ivory was made illegal. D. N. A. Analysis is one tool that could ultimately help governments crackdown on where ivory is coming from but it cant tell investigators when the killing took place anything post ban is illegal to trade what it comes down to is this this radio carbon dating method can tell us if trade of ivory is legal or not kevin you know is a geochemist who uses a method known as radiocarbon dating to determine the age of ivory this is the part of the tusk that was actually growing when the animal was shot because we need to know when did this elephant die and so this part of the tusk tells us that so we drove the powder on to this wave paper here. And we collect it into these vials next to ivory powder is combusted and turned into pure c o 2 so what is this we can bust it in this tube it theres other impurities in there other gases we need to get rid of those so that when we measure the radio carbon content we just are measuring the c o 2 gas radiocarbon dating literally relies on the fallout from the events that took place from 1952 to 1963. 1 fire. Above ground atomic testing between the United States in the soviet union we basically doubled the radio carbon concentration in the atmosphere and what does that mean then for organisms when you have a spike in radio carbon in the atmosphere what it did do is give them all the unique chemical fingerprint. In their tissues all these photosynthetic organisms trees grasses that sort of thing are taking in c o 2 some of it having carbon 14 in it and then the animals that eat that then also take on that radio carbon signature but there it is you can actually see its freezing down on the right side so now were going to do is torch it off and have the final final product. And bring this to them and you do this individually for each sample yeah this is its time consuming its so you want to wear these to to watch these losses so this is just a regular methane torch but not to be done at home and warm the glass. All around that its very like. Holding soft serve. And its unique. And now you can see. Theres our c o 2 right there so thats thats the frozen c o 2 from an elephant heading for radio carbon analysis after you know receives the radio carbon content of a piece of ivory he can match it against the bomb curves a record of atmospheric levels of c 14 before and after the atomic testing era the radio carbon dating and by every could be used to verify the age of ivory being sold on the legal market as antiques but heres the bottom curve and i call this left side before 963 the rising limb so the tusk is imprinted with the radiocarbon concentration from that year so we can then go and measure that radiocarbon concentration and say ok its for example 1. 3 and that allows us to draw a horizontal line across the bottom curve here and you can see it actually intersects it into place slice to 2 answers it can be 1960 or it could be 1080 so the way to do this is to sample part of the test that you know is all. Or and in part its just you know is younger and compare the relative radiocarbon concentrations and just fit them back onto this curve so if the older one has a higher concentration in the younger has a lower then youre on this falling limb of the bomb curve november 2013 canadian authorities learned that a pair of tusks are being offered by this toronto based auction house as antiques suspecting the tusks are not as old as the sellers claim authorities confiscate them and turn them over to. Buy david a pair of tasks clearly showing his elephant was poached after the law went into effect and the auction house went to court and pleaded guilty now you know and collaborator turi serling have teamed up with wasser to apply this technique to investigate trends in the International Trade in illegal ivory since the International Ban african countries have been stockpiling confiscated ivory occasionally they destroy some of it but much of it remains sitting in government warehouses so they have huge stockpiles on the order of 100 or 120 tons and some of these nations are so theyre sitting on this ivory waiting for the day that the International Market opens again if current poaching hotspots are shut down the next major source for ivory could be the stockpiles and radiocarbon dating would help confirm it to what extent do you wrestle with despair at the situation and to what extent do you embrace hope and there have been some seizures where i got to say you know when we pulled them out and started rinsing in often the blood was pouring out and that we were just sitting there in tears i mean you know that that has happened but you know you get. Used to it and and then you start getting these breakthroughs and so no i feel like you know weve got a plan i feel like were making an impact and thats really what drives me. To steps of d. N. A. Techniques that you talk about vets. Practice has been done for a long time to maybe track the origin of the disease what took him so long to get through tracking down poachers you know weve used d. N. A. Techniques to understand populations of lots of wildlife were using it within the context of conservation a lot more now its still a fairly new field so there was a time when ivory was used in canada keys and billiard balls and now its illegal but why is the market still so robots the main markets are in china and then actually the United States is the 2nd largest player here part of whats driving that is that there are some communities in the u. S. That really value ivory iris you mostly find it as an ornamental carving its very beautiful when its polished and carved and it carries a sort of status because of its values so theres still a pretty high demand there is a crisis unfolding on the coast of california from san diego up to San Francisco and beyond sea lions are leaving their natural ocean habitat and wandering up on shore even sometimes in peoples yards and streets well i joined a ride on my we were literally a rescuing sea lion pox the story is crazy some of its heartbreaking and its coming up that. This punk named johnny cash is making a run towards the open ocean with a satellite transmitter tied to his back he might hold the on says to a sad epidemic among californias coastline. There are plenty of highways to hug californias ocean shores and hes 90 freeway isnt one of them the sight of a baby seen a quarter of a mile inland is unsettling. But in 2015 its not that unusual according to local News Agencies the creatures are stranding starving and apparently dying in record numbers this year along the coasts. The images tell our haunting story well we have seen spikes and we think here is the 2015 is already off to an end usually start the headlines paint a picture of an epidemic of sick pops in desperate search of food but whats really going on is more complex techno went to the san diego headquarters for a federal agency that studies the oceans far on says whats happened in the last 2 years is the waters in the northeast pacific have warmed up way beyond anything where youre still according to noah a warmer ocean off Southern California has made it harder for nursing sea lions to forage and as a result the pups are not getting enough nourishment el nino is an event scientists have seen several times but this years temperature is a quite different whats really different is that the waters in the northeast pacific warmed up over a year ago and usually that warming occurs after the only in your developed in this case it preceded the ocean warming impacts the food chain from the bottom up as upwelling wins a causing deep water currents typically rife with cold water nutrients to secularize up mostly nutrient depleted warm water so when you talk about nutrients what is that that biologic material in the deep ocean gets remember allies tend to forget an organic nutrients and so the upwelling them keeps that cycle going so how does it affect the top of the food chain the whole food chain gets depressed a lot of the those fish species that could move have moved northward and a food source theres a lot less than we had last year and the evidence can be seen daily all along the california coast from san diego to San Francisco in san diego sea world the company which face public heat for. Has taken a public role in sea lion rescue efforts. Its really a new thing i was lucky i think yeah this how long do you feed them for typically it will be cheering for. 12 days and about 5 days they have gained enough strength to actually start showing some interest again in fish and they will start taking water to fish sea lions and fascinated to an almost tree are like setting the pups to fed a special protein which formula up to 200 feedings a day take place behind the scenes we have to gradually wean him on it because their bodies havent seem fresh and they cant process it properly they have to show it to us that they can fully process 3. 00 to 5. 00 pounds of fish per day which is what they would require to maintain their weight before we stop to feeding brands to it observe sea lion health at sea wilds Nonprofit Research on. So in studying their habitats you able to get a better idea of whats happening in terms of Global Climate change food seem to have vanished for some reason the question is whether thats a sign i think of long term Climate Change the bigger issue is are these little intensive answered were seeing recently going to become more common as climate generally changes according to the National Marine Fisheries Service is the west evah as rescued pups are returning starved again it is the most historically busy year ever theres already been 2500 sea lions stranded in california this year alone in the 1st 12 weeks that were into the year marine biologists and executive director of the Pacific Marine Mammal Center a key from a toss a the scene until. Theyre actually 6 months old coming into us under birthweight thats all start there on the other difference in this year that we didnt see in 20132040 is that were now seeing a lot of adults coming in that are very me seated very star you can see every bone in their body and thats a difference from the last 2 years metacity and his team east satellite Titan Technology to understand why this is happening tagging felines is so new to these pups the Research Pioneers and we want to make sure that the animals that were putting back out into the wild during this unusually bad rush and making it tagging happens fast as i learned watching johnny cash get his device he spent 2 months gaining 25 pounds and is a worthy candidate here for you know that by him youre going to send in china feel the edges where were going further somewhere in the back of that not so feel good think youre going to tighten up the back it will be good this year several sea lions returned to metastases rehab starving once again but rescue centers along the coast compiling satellite tagging data.

Be iranian Oil Tanker Held for 6 weeks off the coast of gibraltar has set sail no longer called the grace one left under its new 9 adrian daddy i want but as Andrew Symonds reports its still unclear where the tanker is heading. Yes. Lifted and underway at last in the darkness heading east into the mediterranean. A few hours before the departure supplies had been loaded on the adrian daria warm in the choppy waters a specialist engineer had been winched up along with at least 5 new crew members the engineer was brought on board to attend to a technical issue planning to return to shore later nightfall on the swell of the sea is getting worse yet the technician has yet to return to the supertanker the ai asked systems that Automatic Identification Systems are now showing the adrian da real war they to the technician had finished his work and returned to shore but who will end up with 140000000. 00 worth of crude oil this is obviously going to be one of those tracks vessels over the next few days and therefore we have a very clear idea of where it goes and we have a very clear idea of any vessels that come alongside in order to transit the cargo last thursday gibraltar the supremes course lifted the detention order on the ship after assurances from iran that it would not deliver its cargo of crude oil to syria complying with the European Union sanctions on that country an attempt by the United States to reimpose the detention under its own sanctions was dismissed by the court on sunday as the reflagged rename ship prepared to leave your proto announced it couldnt follow up on a subsequent u.

Now the u. S. President says around 13000. 00 u. S. Soldiers will remain in afghanistan don trumps announcement follows a claim of responsibility by icefall for one of the worst attacks in kabul in the last 18 months is also praising progress in talks between the taliban and the Afghan Government were talking to afghanistan oh about their government and also talking to the taliban have a very good discussions well see what happens weve really got it down to probably 13000 people and well be bringing it down a little bit more and there will decide whether or not well be staying longer or not we have been very good discussions with the taliban who have a very good discussions with the Afghan Government i think its very important that we continue intelligence there in all cases because it is somewhat of a nest for him to get us and we have things under control very well with a small force we can probably make it a little bit smaller and then well decide it will depend on the taliban it will depend on the Afghan Government but there is a case to be made and the case also is that were going to be leaving very significant intelligence behind for just the reasons i stated. The suicide bombing of a wedding reception in afghanistan has caused the postponement of celebrations marking the countrys 100th anniversary of independence i saw has claimed responsibility for the for killing 63 people in saturdays attack in kabul we must warn viewers you may find some of the pictures in this report from shallop ballasts to be disturbing. Awaiting that a suicide bomber turned into a massacre these people are waiting to hear whether their relatives and friends survived still want to go i want to say that im here to find out about my son to find out if hes ok some people say that his neck is injured some people say his hand is injured hes not answering his phone i dont know what to do i was. More than 1000 people at the waiting for a young couple from afghan shia Muslim Minority the hazaar or the marriage certificate had just been signed when i saw suicide attacker wearing a vest packed with explosives detonated them near the stage. There i was at the back of the wedding hall when suddenly a big explosion happened i fell down and when i stood up i saw tables and people scattered on the ground the scene was awful my brother was injured and most of my friends were killed i didnt know at that time what to do who should i help 1st in shock saki hasnt moved from the spot all night. At another hospital we found cerise 14 hours after the explosion he worked from his karma as we filmed he was the lead singer in keyboard player in the wedding band with us i mean the most wonderful nobody was being opened up when he was being when we leave our home in the morning we dont know if well come back to life if we send our children to school we do not know their fate we dont trust any security even at a wedding this can happen i do not know if ill be alive in an hour or not. So respond was made up of 7 family members his brothers and cousins they were on stage preparing to play during the waiting dinner when the bomb went off so race is the only survivor. And this is what he would have place. At the wedding hall staff cleaned up they mop the ground not the spilled drink but the spilled blood they lost colleagues to with dozens killed in nearly 200. 00 injured this was the deadliest explosion in kabul in more than 18 months of the series family brought us to hill overlooking the city here is where the bands drummer Mohamed Haneef was buried just hours earlier on a mobile moccasins and youre going to mars why should we be killed its for nothing what is our sin what have we done wrong we feed our children and i salute killing those without committing a crime we ask the government why they arent stopping them. I still has claimed responsibility for the attack it often target shia minority in this neighborhood with elections just 6 weeks away president danny is under pressure and has called an Emergency Security meeting for the taliban also commented calling the attack barbaric to veteran and unjustifiable. Well afghan leaders in the taliban lay blame children lay on their relatives graves too young to understand the forces that turned a day of joy into one of tragedy. Or joins us now live from kabul so charlotte they attacked her leaving few people in any mood to celebrate Independence Day right. Yes and the main event has been cancelled so late last night president danny decided to cancel the main event palace which is in southwest kabul a huge structure that was heavily damaged in the civil war president gandhi had planned to celebrate how far afghanistan had come by reopening or by reopening this tell us it was going to be fireworks and a concert it was going to be on National Television and in light of the attack yesterday they have decided not to go ahead with that instead president danny went to be highly secure ministry of defense compound this morning and laid some flowers just a simple gesture to notice that its 100 years since the signing of the anglo or afghan treaty on this day king aminal han signed in the british left afghanistan at that time still even though people shocked by what happened yesterday it is still a National Holiday and this morning there were still people out on the streets remembering the scent of the 3 they had flags out of their cars in convoys over the weekend weve seen people putting stickers on the on the cars of king on one of the the blast walls that are meant to protect people from explosions in central kabul thats been painted with his image so people it still means a lot to them this anniversary and they are going to be out in force today celebrating this kind of significant moment in afghan history the taliban have put out a statement this morning politicizing the day saying like all left they too will be celebrating the fact that british ship lift but now they hope that they will be celebrating the americans leaving shortly. Thanks so much charlotte. Protest organizers and hong kong say more than 1700000 antigovernment demonstrators have rallied through the night they showed up despite heavy rain and one of the largest gathering since june many said they wanted to prove peaceful but determined what are the reports from hong kong. Its becoming the norm in hong kong for 11 weekends straight streams of prodemocracy protesters on the streets hundreds of thousands filled Victoria Park and his surroundings and her husband have taken part in most of the rally so far this time they brought their 2 Young Children all signed to basic ill go my student to learn up all what is happening in hong kong and what we are fighting for i want them to experience this in person about it i just asked why its right and what if. It is a historical moment oh its you know many others also said they came to denounce the Police Crackdown on protesters and put pressure on a government they feel is ignoring them with each week that passes angry increases and the divide for the government grows deeper and so from the initial demands of revoking the extradition bill now there are 5 demands that the protesters here say they wont back down from. Among the demands the book traffic reform and the withdrawal of criminal charges against gordon 700. 00 protesters who have been detained so far but for just to enjoy there is one demand that takes priority i think is the Police Brutality they have to have an investigation about other stuff. The people who live here and they will not feel safe after the leader we just feel like we. Walk in the dark is this really frustrating and scared journey for our
