A look onboard a German Research ship whose crew is doing groundbreaking research into the effects of Global Warming in the arctic. Welcome to the program protesters gathered in washington d. C. And many other u. S. Cities to mobilize against racism and Police Brutality tens of thousands braved a hot humid day to call for reform in the u. S. Capitol that protest and others around the world have arisen from outrage over the death of george floyd who was killed by police in minneapolis almost 2 weeks ago the coroner has ruled his death a homicide. Is a message is clear. In their thousands they converged on Downtown Washington d. C. Local officials have projected over 100000 people would attend. The heat and humidity for no deterrent. Everyone is not racist. But. The law. Theyre old outdated a fetish people understand. Its not enough to be angry you have to vote you have to translate that into action you need to be consequence for that action and you need to be taught that it will happen no more no feeling no. While demanding action against Police Brutality is at the forefront of saturdays Peaceful Demonstrations these protests are also highlighting a long standing problem a lot many call systemic racism and inequality in the United States topics that will likely become central to the president ial battle for the white house in november. Large protests also took place around the world demanding an end to Racial Injustice including in cities across germany. Taking a knee against racism protestors in hamburg kept silent for 8 minutes and 46 seconds thats how long george floyd struggle to breathe under the knee of a Police Officer 14000 came to protest in the northern german city. Further south in stuttgart several 1000 stood in solidarity with the global movement. And you have a piece because i myself have been treated unfairly many times in my life and i stayed silent and together with all of these people i want to give ourselves a voice so its about showing solidarity and being there for each other thats important. Since this is let the black lives Matter Movement will open the eyes of people who simply dont want to see or hear it but news turn out as involved demonstrations in berlin were so full that police had to limit access they estimate that 15000 people took part in the protests. Even more people turned out in the very in capital of munich. People also demonstrated in frankfurt corona hygiene regulations were largely adhere to their as they were in cologne. This is the point take a racist Police Violence exist here as well and finally this is receiving the attention it deserves. There were isolated instances of police and protesters clashing in berlin and hamburg but the protests in germany remain largely peaceful. Im joined by our Political CorrespondentEmmanuel Shuster attended the protest yesterday so im a big protest despite the fact that were in the middle of a crowd of our spending thats exactly and has minister you actually say that he was worried by seeing such crowds gathering begging for example there were more than 15000 people gathered and police had warned that such process could actually be to place where the virus could spread but whats really important to note about those protests yesterday is that people thought that it was more important to show up and to stand against racism towards to really respect social distancing because honestly social distancing wasnt respected however each protestant that i had to run the i was in the middle of the crowd was wearing a mosque so passionate display of solidarity but were their demands for change that could happen here in germany too exactly of course people were taking a stand against racism following the death of george floyd and we had these very very moving moment where people in there for 80 minutes 46 seconds which is the time it took for george floyd to die but also protestants here and especially black germans who came there was so they also wanted to express their frustration at every day racism that they enter here not the society of racist attacks but oh so when for example they send this. To someone and they never hear back because of their picture of because of their name though so were taking a stand against bullies by those that also happens here there were many signs so in the name of shadows and those items seeker who died in Police Custody here in germany in 2005 so many demands a to address racism here in germany are the signs of the government is listening that the government is going to do something to help meet the demands of the protesters well quite timely the by the inseminate passed on thursday and then to discrimination law and that concerns all forms of discrimination not only Racial Discrimination but also discrimination against gender against his ability for example and that is that the aim is to put a stop to racial profiling for example by police in Public Schools or in administrations that doesnt mean there was no such law before him in 2006 there was already a federal law all across germany that was passed and that was aiming at stopping Racial Discrimination in employment or between private citizens but this law taken by debate in senate aimed at stopping discrimination overall sorts here and maybe other states in germany who follow suit when it was shot thanks for reporting thank you.

How far would you go in the pursuit of science the crew of the German Research ship dan or pole star spent the winter in perpetual darkness and trapped in ice trying to get of better understanding of the effects of Global Warming on the arctic we catch up with the crew near the north pole as daylight makes a comeback. The end of a long polar night which has in fact lasted 150. 00 days pitch darkness envelops the arctic throughout the winter temperatures fall below minus 35. 00 degrees celsius and the nearest human neighbors are a 1000 kilometers away theres not much wildlife but what there is can be Dangerous Research director marcus rex is keeping watch from the bridge of the pole are staring its not long before the polar bears make an appearance nosing around a Research Unit a thermal camera scans the area to help keep bears and scientists safely apart not much is known about what happens during the harsh arctic winter. Yeah this is the Global Warming has made the arctic with temperate tween 5 and 10 degrees warmer the most dramatic changes are happening over the winter that is of biggest concern are the german ice breaker pull our stern deliberately allowed itself to become frozen in by the pack ice its task is to collect data with the help of a fleet of Russian Research vessels. Carried along by the ice flow the expedition drifts some 10 kilometers a day across the arctic ocean. Whats clear is that the pack ice is getting thinner. After 150. 00 days of total darkness daylight has gradually returned now and for weeks in the summer the sun barely even sets. In this next phase where it came to see how the ecosystem responds to the daylight coming back how quickly will life flourish again as the sun returns and we on the species will become active 1st and which ones will hunting each other how will the species line up in this changing ecosystem thinking because of him as now its time for a crew change on the pull our share and no one can fly in because of the pandemic the ship will temporarily break free from the use to pick up a new team arriving by sea then the ship will drift with the ice flow again in the meantime the scientists hope their equipment can withstand the curiosity of the polar bears. Im joined now by dr uli of the gary music scientific coordinator dr gary thanks for joining us so how has the coronavirus pandemic affected this mission. Demick effected the mission quite a lot because the exchange we are having now between length 3 and 4 were actually 2 beginning of april so now this had to be shifted to beginning of june and we were supposed to fly in airplanes and everything was actually set up to start here from start about where we are actually having the Exchange Time now and of course it was crucial that blast and could stay in the ice but now also. To leave the position on the flow and come to meet us here in a few but to Exchange People and then go back to the flow once all the operations are. Now because of the current of our spending a lot of us have had our 1st experiences with isolation but what is it like to spend that much time in isolation doing a Scientific Mission it is a tell and to time its a challenging task especially youre living here with a like 60 scientists and crew members on board of the lesser sole space thats really limited and its actually also a lot of work that is happening because we also want to keep the measurements running so its a challenging task but the team is really motivated and were looking forward to keep the measurements going and despite these challenges the mission is still going on and whats next for the pull us down. Well we are heading back into the ice soon and we hope to step to be able to stay there and still the middle of october we will return back to going to have and then focus on the next journey is going south to antarctica at the end of this year and i want to ask about Global Warming did you notice can you see the effects of Global Warming from where you are there. Well here as we have right now and if you had a smile that of course they can see a lot of changes concerning called the warming. Facing mountains and if youre. Not with snow which hearing those times of the year a couple of years ago and also in other regions here. Is going back.
