One group of revolutionary supporters was taking a stand against the mainland pressure with economy for the display of peace. And you between the funds, who make football. Oh, chosen angels on out just the right the the the way dont see it until its okay. Besides an extraordinary bid, great. The law just protected area on this suspension episode of the tries. We going on board the green piece icebreaker. Optics, sunrise. Following one of the biggest campaigns in the environmental organizations, history, witnessing the spectacular bio diversity and the many threats to life Climate Change to as efficient as a team of scientists, photographers and ocean experts, sounds approved. These voss remote forces must become and i talked to ocean sentry the before i sent off down. So im going to find out so little about the journey im about to talk and talk to a is mays of old london streets. Something quite extraordinary. Ever since i was a boy, id be mesmerized by tales of the golden age of antarctic exploration of the early 20th century. Names of who new explorer is like, role damage and, and captain scan the, well, this is where some of those expeditions came to get them. Thats us. We, for the cause of the good to see this is a kind of treasure trove of policy exploration. He turns out mankind has forever being hooked on the concept of a mysterious continent at the end of the world. This map from the 50 natives is the last of the class colewell view. This is the world, as it would be now understood by the ancient greeks and romans still got this great peril stole his number on complete the and Southern Land spin forward 3 centuries to the time of man like captain scott, who died on his return from the south pole. Phillip shows me a sledging man from that expedition stronger. This is what they actually used to place the food that pose for the attempt on the po. Incredible. So here we have been reaching the south pole. And then of course, the terrible trick back captain scott died here demonstrates how hard it was then just how the challenge it was that a far cry from today. Its boy, this period is known as the aerobic age. Um they were truly great to hear us up until the 1920s that were probably less than i should think. 50 or 60 people had actually ever stepped onto the cold slip. Of course no thousands of getting every year. The, like many of the old explorers i 1st had for printer arrangements in southern chile, but unlike then ill be flying into and thoughts go to King George Island at the northern ship. Here on join the green p. Shit, the arctic sunrise and head into the wedding. C. With luck will reach out target the 60 full power though, which marks the move in edge of the proposed stations trying to treat an internationally supported marine was a covering 1800000 square kilometers. That would be protected from direct human impact like fishing, oil drilling and deep sea mining. How times have changed immediately, its clear how connected the out to reach is of the antarctic continent to become. The plane is full of tourists. What was once a grueling journey of months maybe is now can be done in an hour and a half with lunch and a few its a cold muggy arrival. Im surprised at how many people there are around. Dozens are coming and going. Youre driving the know so remote is more of a trend school. You can see lots of chairs driving down there, taking ribs out to inflatable fights out to meet the cruise ships for that holiday. I also had a lot of research stations with the weather closing, and we need to get a move on the for the next 2 weeks. Thank you. The a high stakes lower on the way, immediately heading to the proposed ocean, sang 3. Theres no time to lose. Look just for the arctic sunrise. Windsor is not far away and the ice is too close and about its been so a race against time to protect areas like the way well see before its too late. Newman katlyn, its a green Piece Campaign lead. Were combining full, i will be the little was largest types of area as and i talked to cushion sang chain in the area of the widow said itd be about 5 times the size of gemini. The proposal is already on the table, its already going. The backing of the scientists are saying we need to protect a 3rd of the worlds oceans at least. And we want to let fish stokes, with others who want to mitigate against the west simplex to find an talk. This is a great place to saw it just knowing months time and how you balance australia. The decision will be made by the until its dictation commission, the International Party responsible for the conservation of these waters on whether to accept the st tree proposal. Theme of the expedition is to build the case that it needs to happen. The hours go by and the temperature dropped significantly on the bridge. Theyre on high alert. Were heading into dangerous voices. Tends times to escape a full resist key. You have, but what they call bring you bet, grounders and icebergs, depending on the size, but they can all damage a ship when youre steaming at night, keeping a boat, isis avoiding it. But now were going to look for the ice and we will intentionally go in to some of the ice and there is room down here. Now i think to push our way through a bit, the comfortable climbs into the cruise and transport leads through the ice. Come through the im talking sound, which kind of bice exxons occupants were not in the will see. But no. Yeah. So its a for the whats the perspective does it get there we go to get through all this ice. Theres a lot of it around it. Were finding these clear passages trying to, weve all way through the ice. Everyone on board is just willing to shift to make it into the proposed sine tree. The big problem is getting people to realize why they should care valuable to take, you know, this is why i like that most people have never come across will never come across. And so being able to tell that story relies on us getting that are related to us, getting the footage back and tell me about the importance of the types of pay stubs. What are the recovery if we put these areas of limits, the fact that Climate Change will be not as bad if we managed to put large areas of the ocean on the darkness pools, but there is no rest on the bridge for the captain and the night crew, the flood lights on the bowels show the ship. Now knowledge dumped quietly against the ice. Unintentional move for the remainder of the night. But everyone is keyed up the next day at last. The take sunrise has arrived surrounded by some of the coldest, most diverse waters there. Uh, it was going on board who may yet be the largest protected area on the planet. Well, the good news, very good news made it made it to the 6 foot tiles whos sitting there now theres awesome one other ship and this entire space. And you just go over this side and we certainly start getting so tens of, of ships, but crews on is cargo ships fishing vessels. The moment you get through this sound as us the another ship about that. And thats it. And my whole, the whole area that said slightly scary. Yes, theres life. Very exciting as well. But exciting and kind of just makes the case that this is christine, this area is not developed is not co industry is never had industry. So thats the area thats kind of the most im talk even within and talk the what were looking at here is great iceberg. The glasses sweeping up, change reassignment, the weather, the expense way is with this area really about just talked about the Scientific Research has taken place. It is an incredible science, but deeply troubling. 2 classes have always collapsed and carved into the until to go sion. However, with Global Warming that doing so with increasing speed and as the sheets retreats, sea levels rise. This right here is humanities problem. For decades, perhaps centuries, i had the sunrise of his real future being good citizens by wearing places which it laid out to recycle plastic bottles, that sort of thing. But when you wash the hundreds of thousands of microfiber, the end up in the world visions, so here on board, its not from government. Of course, plastic pollution analyses is one of the biggest environmental challenges about time. And the team makes the most the rare opportunity for such a points of data that can reflect success and taking solving to want to see if any market plastic has infiltrated has been waiting for somebody to extend this is very mobile, which is the way to sees a very close going system and this very local sources, that micro, plastic 5 is, should be coming over destroyed around the world. Some studies that micro plastic fibers, fox 3 and they all be found the location. You know, its a bizarre thing via flights on these wild and remote in decimal was feel quite expires using a gps a google map and zoomed out. We just get the highly speculative g voss. Yet beneath the surface of this, like different desolation is just tv with live. Amazing, so the remote is and to see what lies below the expedition submarine is launched on board the antarctic specialist susanne block caught what she sees as a stunning underwater ro propose of all manner of life. Life not yet touched by mankind. Box enormously at risk, not least from the effects of industrial scale fishing. It has a 100 percent coverage of the sea floor of the organism. Has a great 3 d structure, which is all the other organisms to come in and make this and really interesting spaces. Composition dont will be effective, make it really difficult for a community to recover after the 7th, such as quantum fishing, we call these areas fundable marine the eco system. And the estimated 14000 species on the sea bed of unable not just the fishing, but to other threats like warming see temperatures and plastic pollution. And thats why the expeditions full Round Research so important in the bit to protect these waters. All the Scientific Data will be compiled to form a party of evidence in support of the assigned to the proposal and present it to the ontology commission in less than a years time. But the team needs to find out more about the growing threats encroaching on the region. We leave the lonely waters of the weddell sea heading back through the antarctic sound a day shaped by the routine on board. Everyone has different ways of filling sparrows from the top practice to running repairs. Goals looking for for the ride. And we know the system is the same every day and we share the life. Busy the lights that we had for sure, making land full on the south Shetland Islands the other to be on top and then to cut a release to be back on dry land off. So i just think reading around all over the place to me welcome. Hi. Calling this the pin and share a territory with the sales one, making the most of the comfortable feathers. The melting juvenile adhere to evidence once again of how the world is closing in on, on talk to a number of tourist 20 years ago. It was around 4. 00 to 5000. 00 a year. Now its more like 30000 e like me, desperate to see this wilderness while its still here. Yet despite myself, i cant help this sense of unease and surprise about the sheer numbers and a bit sizing by this is a great big crew ship here in pristina and talked to karen lines. Its here, its going to be out this door which is ridiculous because its a free, well, it does just demonstrate the the new accessibility. There is the dangers of these areas between pages by the footprints of commodity next day was steaming down the west coast of the antarctic peninsula. The miles west of an area where the vessels off from china, ukraine, and truly their fishing crew. A small troop like creature on which the whole ecosystem depends their keystone of the ocean cycle. The dodge of planting, helping to transfer c o 2 to the depths of the ocean. But current is being harvested on a growing scale, the fish feet and with the 3 or ships nets are out. And theyre in the thick of the crucible. The crew obviously densely packed into this area up against the island. So just circling round and round ring the months ago, the whales of feeding the season flowing and wild tales disappearing slippery, showing sides waiting about grill companies, say the tapping into a result that is sustainable. The view on board is that that is what they said about other species like devices in north america or called store. So if you found a full booth with decimated its essential areas such as well, c, offer tex, it stopped kind replenish, proposal for this area. Would be area 30 kilometers off show off limits to the fishing industry. So we side of that. So solution you can continue to fish and in terms of caution, but keep it outside of these areas currently being positive protected areas because the reason light being proposed is because its so important for the eco system down here. Soon well begin the long journey home for this time to make another landing. And the variety of species here on Livingston Island is just as down the absolutely spectacular. Just a little more diverse minute having 2 spaces of penguins, john petrol, sales level sales. Theres not been another landing with quite a variety when you look at this place from the ship is leaking and get you arrive here in just aiming teaming with a lot of this driving right now. And you can see all around us. Its driving. Who knows what it was like a 100 years ago, thoughts, it was doing even better, but right now its still compared to most of the places on that is doing a lot better. Unemployment type thing is to allow it to continue. And thats why we havent yet messers place up. We have the opportunity to protect the or the question that the, the dynamics of this place, events how its got a changing sale population expanding rapidly. It was a penguin dial from the east last year. The price is changing. Graham populations are under tresses tours, and i mean this is the last great wilderness on the needs. Protecting the its time to head back into 5 days. We cross the stormy seeds of the Drake Passage to south america before heading home an opportunity to consider the wonder of what weve seen and the challenges that lie ahead in winning the protection of the precious parts of our planet. And whether or not this protection would indeed be grounded in a box in 9 months time. The often months of campaigning and intense love being by the green peace team. It all comes down to here hope out on the island tons mania in australia for the future. The way well see, we decide this is where its all happening. The headquarters of the ontology commission that protects and manages the planets southern most horses. Everything from territorial claims to fishing rights being stretched out right now by 25 government delegations. To start k, the departure point for several antarctic expeditions. Today. How about is the place where the fates of the continents hines and the balance all throughout boys together in until out to hook up again with will be low, being hard for the widow see century since i last saw him. The news he brings is unexpected. To say the least, its not looking great. I think weve seen a real is a bit of it is also of a meeting to be on this something that no one was really expect a way we were always in the last. It was gonna be hard and then what weve seen is a few countries just really undermine the process and, and essentially broke any progress on any issues. Not just, not just stay in touch coaching century, but actually progressing in any field. Good luck. Thank fulton sheets for the next 24 hours. Good is great. Im hoping for the best. Perhaps well have some good news tomorrow the decision day and the country delegations have been dropped into general assault allowed and so we wait and wait. The we have developments something different, just had a cool. So we could again try and find out whats happening. So that is the head of the indian ligation told me to australia what do you say . Its kind of revealing widows you did not want to be dealt through this just lets just devastate can use a comp how the grevious t v. Right. Lets say the other delegations, are we other in jersey . Suppose its just one or 2 nations because whoever frustrating china confirms wheels was fee is but its not until much later we can speak to him each of agents so much to this project stairwell nice. I mean its, uh, its just a complete same. Yeah. The commission on the house and you know, the millions of people who an assistant who wants to visit the house and then weve just seen the entire thing. Trash. Yeah. 22 countries after the 25 support team, they believe this is a good proposal, but china, russia know i, you know, by 13 different means in Different Reasons have just taken it apart and take teams with on growth. And for a personal point of view, youve invested so much time and energy and passion, and hop into this, uh whats, whats the feeling . Its horrible. You know, its nearly 2 years of assess working on it. Yeah. It right. It aint of yet. You know, there are other good proposals on the table and this proposal is, is still a good one. Uh, and well get the chance next year to resubmit it, but somethings gonna have to shift in the next year. It is intensely disappointing for everybody involved. But it does just demonstrate the challenge we face and protecting this plan. Its about, especially in the face of a current climate of nationalist, political self interest. It is not just about the way elizabeth penguins and the one to event out to guess its about us. Off and ill defend we do, we want to leave them the World Without wilderness, without healthy for stocks, with the coast systems in taxes, with the 1st generation to realize the gravity of this crisis that we may be the last to be able to do something about the a week are even people far away are so helping with the environment, problems in amazon because their consumers i teach kids about us and our oceans are facing today. Ive been working or just tried to find ways to get this language gets, what do we do and what are you going to do to keep the oceans click. These are link, inspect, keeps the red blood very, but they have one, several back over there, 5 point one. If youve got them, eric, i know the thing, say that for texting, women remains a challenge in the region, will not stop being pro like i want to sleep. We dont have to leave them in study thinks about 2 weeks now, facing a journey to show. Right. So in this choice of countries, someones needs to be deal the the, the, the weather brought to you by visit, cut off the big thunderstorms, building across the plains states, and barreling east with through the midwest and to all eastern states. Give you some heavy rain in the northeast, but the news has already been about the heat and the potential for seeing real High Temperatures in Southern California or in arizona. Phoenix is 40. 8 is pretty near its rick. What are you thinking might be a new record high, but in death valley california, we might break the world High Temperature record in the next couple of days for 56000. Well july reco stands at 49. 00 to be hovering around that mock. What about the average . We stay there for at least 3 days. This is getting during he twice and not part of the us about a course of the population is under warning of some sort as of the right in the relieving right. When you can see what the channels on something stays midwest and the plane is really quite unlike the middle of july, for a good part of central and eastern canada. And youve seen this been some funding in vermont. Could be repeated from these big dime polls jumping science, and this is robin ball typical, the breeze is ops and this fairmont to write in costa rica. And at least in the eastern side of nic, around your mexico, looking relatively drive up to say that there are some channels around pretty dr. Picture for most of the constants of south america, particularly in brazil. And you had a guar. Were essentially quite cold. The weather brought to you by visit cuts on from one side of vast empire spending several continents, but by the 1940s principal, forced to confront realities and demands for independence. And the 1st part of the documentary series out is there a looks at how the colonial unrest group from set to note syria and full scale warn indo china blood into his french. The colonized nation on al jazeera, the reports of mass killings, incidents therefore region houses. Era here is from some of the survivors, the time 0. Any a. Its great to have you with this. This is elisha 0 line from the also coming up search and rescue underway. In a tunnel and south korea, were land slides and floods have killed at least 26 people can go outside really without feeling like the heat waves sweeps across the united states
