Where the gratitude and Orbison A-C. Says the newest Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh was ceremonial a sworn in last night in a televised ceremony from the White House over the past few days and appearances at rallies and an off the cuff remarks President Trump has toughened as language most recently describing Professor Christine Blassie Ford's accusations of sexual assault against Mr Cavanaugh as a hoax set by the Democrats justice Kavanagh had already been sworn in on Saturday in a private ceremony but President Trump also ordered this ceremonial swearing in at the White House Justice Kavanagh spoke at length but before he did there was an apology from the president I would like to begin tonight's proceeding differently than perhaps any other event of such magnitude when behalf of our nation I want to apologize to Brett and the entire Kavanaugh family for the terrible pain and suffering you have been forced to endure those who stepped forward to serve our country deserve a fair and dignified evaluation not a campaign of political and personal destruction based on lies and deception what happened to the kavanah family violates every notion of fairness decency and due process our country a man or a war must always be presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty. Was and with that I must say that you serve under historic scrutiny were proven innocent Thank you I was. Across right Peter Bush told me what else happened at the ceremony when it was as the president indicated there quite an unprecedented kind of ceremony ceremonial as you said and of course everyone was waiting to hear what the new justice how to say after what we heard just a few days ago in the events of the last few weeks and he didn't shy away from the issue indeed I thought he was actually quite good shing in his addressing of the president thanking President Trump for his unwavering support during this process Mr President thank you for everything he said he also thanked some of the senators by name who were key to getting that vote in his favor like Susan Collins a senator from Maine whose vote really was sealing the deal if you like on Saturday and Lindsey Graham as well who was one of those who was very outspoken towards the end but then he really got to the heart of the issue and he said the confirmation process was contentious and emotional that process he said is over my focus now is to be the best justice I can with no bitterness and he said the goal is to be a great justice for all Americans not an appointment to serve one party or another but one nation he said he was devoted to equal justice under law and he said the Senate process had tested him as it did others he said but it didn't change him he said his pro-choice to life also remained the same he said he would always strive to preserve the Constitution of the United States so there he is he is on the Supreme Court his 1st 2 cases starts tomorrow and he also revealed that his daughter's teachers have given them the day off to go to observe those 2 cases or is it or is that tone of let's have some unity here present in any of the President Chirac's. I think it was no it wasn't really present I think President from wanted to make a point that we've heard him saying many times over the this message about presumption of innocence until proven guilty and then saying as we've just heard you say and the historic speech scrutiny were proven innocent I think and I suspect that that is the tone of what President Trump will be saying over the next few weeks as we approach the election just a few hours ago we heard him as you referred to saying that the justice covered or had been caught up in a hoax a hoax that had been perpetrated by the Democrats and he believes that some Democrats now wanted to impeach him and I suspect that level of language is something we'll hear a lot more about Rod I don't think this is the end of the chapter it is it is in one sense the Justice is now on on the bench of the Supremes court but I think the political ramifications are going to continue at least until the midterm elections Google is shutting down much of its social network Google plus after user data was left exposed Google said that a bug in the software and information that people thought was private had been accessible to 3rd parties and Google said up to half a 1000000 users were affected and that's not all how it could show as tech reporter for The Financial Times in San Francisco hello how are you wanting more of 1st and foremost how long have Google known about this problem. So they've known since March which is pretty interesting given that is exactly when Facebook was dealing with the crisis of Cambridge analytical and this leaked memo to the Rue St Journal suggests that they basically were quite concerned about a political backlash like Facebook saw and so decided that it wasn't a good idea to reveal this information now Google now says that wasn't the reason why they decided not to that actually it was because the data's not really that sensitive the company didn't know who was affected so they didn't know who they should tell but I'm very worried that they were worried presumably about being called in front of the I don't know the Senate or something like that yes certainly and it's quite interesting because the last few weeks has actually been this drumbeat in Congress in the U.S. Of saying Well where is Google you know earlier this September we had Sheryl Samberg who's the face the number 2 and Jack Dorsey was number one Twitter appearing before Congress and facing a real grilling and Google refused to send anyone senior enough for Congress to take. So we always ask these questions but but nobody sort of really jumping up and down about. A consequence here for people who were on Google plus. So the interesting thing here is that we can't be sure what happened to the state it's kind of like you know they we know that they left the front door open we don't know if anyone came inside and got. So that actually means that the current laws are really meant to be about the people who came inside and got the data who if there was an actual hack that Google would face consequences the other thing that's kind of convenient for Google here is that the year Europe came out with its new privacy was the G.D.P. Which came into force in May given that Google fix this floor in March they won't be liable for the really big fines that come with that law Oh that's interesting and as far as the user was concerned if I remember rightly it did you have to actually opt in to Google plus If you are or you probably already a user of Google's mail service for example so yeah that's actually what I thought at 1st I thought goodness I'm Leo being co-opted into this anyway but actually the the data that was exposed was for people who were actively using it and they were putting in their names and the e-mails now keep patients in their hometowns and it was that kind of data that was exposed. And but no more data than you would really be able to discover about somebody through 3 clicks of a mouse is this yeah I mean then that would be Google's argument this is a sensitive this isn't someone's financial information they're not going to be able to fake your identity from this so whatever government said you know in light of the embarrassment at least that must have been caused by the revelation of this memo. Well so they they say that the memo was just you know brainstorming internally and it wasn't it wasn't some kind of senior decision making. Who knows O'Mara but they've obviously decided to shut down Google Plus which some people might have said was coming anyway given as you said in the beginning 90 percent of people were basically going on accidentally. Hunting strikes a test take isn't it 90 percent of people use it for less than 5 seconds yeah actually gives as you said you know you think that you kind of it's integrated with your G.-Mail or something you know it seems to me like people are just pressing the wrong button and then pressing back out for 5 seconds I see right but the system in the Google are going to get off. A lucky on this occasion maybe I mean they are saying that they're going to tighten their practices and prevent some types of you user data being seen by developers and I was kind of waiting with bated breath today to see whether there would be reaction from the from Congress and the hasn't been yet. So we will see Hanna thank you very much indeed he plunged to promote a horse race on the sales of the World Heritage listed Sydney Opera House have prompted a furious backlash there are various meant to light up the landmark later this morning after an order by the New South Wales premier And we're joined from Sydney by phone and I suppose a point Philip will be mourning in the U.K. But it won't be morning in a still year when the when the ad is supposed to appear. No We've just changed our clocks forward for the Southern Hemisphere this spring so what it means around 8 o'clock in the evening here in Sydney will be dark and that is when this 10 minutes a promotion to promote the Everest Champa Randwick racecourse in Sydney this coming Saturday will be projected on to the sales of the Sydney Opera House it has become rod a battle grounds between culture and commerce and is Australia's most famous building a World Heritage listed cultural gem or Sydney's biggest billboard now the debate has been intense at times it's been pretty furious and quite nasty the New South Wales Government is overruled a decision made last week by the Opera House board to ban the promotion the board said it was inappropriate but the state government here said that it was good for tourism and the economy but Michael Lynch he's a former chief executive of the Sydney Opera House and he thinks it's a terrible decision I think it is entirely inappropriate as an event even to rank alongside the other sporting events or many of the other things that we have celebrated at the Opera House in the past then the present I can imagine that the parasol borough or Royal Opera House in London know they'd be celebrating horse races on the front of either of those buildings or at Lincoln Center in New York. The views there of Michael Lynch he was the former boss of the Sydney Opera House but the Prime Minister Scott Morrison he has waded into this furious debate rod and he says he can't see what all the fuss is about all of that pining it on the I mean it's a lot flashing up there for a brilliant mind of the time and that goes all around the world and I do it for other things when you know the Wallabies indeed and other side look I just don't understand why we tie a source up in knots about these things and this is some kind of a stale you and predeliction of it is that you know they will think about. A bet on 2 flies climbing up a wall is it just because in a straight sport an art and everything else are all part of life tapestry. Well as we heard from the Prime Minister Scott Morrison there the Sydney Opera House has been illuminated in the past it's quite often lit up for arts and cultural events the logo of the Wallabies the rugby union international side of Australia appeared there in 2015 and there was also an illumination to celebrate Australia's win in an Ashes campaign so the opera house sails do get illuminated from time to time but the big objection from many many people in Australia is that this is about commercialization of a very famous and a very important Australian cultural landmark many people here on the view that these famous sales are not for sale and more than a quarter of a 1000000 people have signed a petition calling for the promotion to be cancelled and the Opera House to be protected and thousands of people have indicated on social media that they will attend in person protests to disrupt the promotion with light from their mobile phones and torches are not quite sure how effective that will be given that the lights they use in these installations are very powerful but the fact that thousands of people are very very unhappy about this does indicate once again water a furious debate this is being it's not so long since the opera house had an expensive refer this short of money that they need this advertising cash. I don't think they do the opera house it's not just one single room it is a series of venues within this very famous structure it was designed by the Danish architect year and opened by the Queen in October 973 it is the landmark that is arguably the most photographed in the entire country it was one of those things you could see from the Harbor Bridge it does dominate the harbor as you coming into Circular Quay that is the main wharf in the center of Sydney that renovation you mentioned was very very expensive musicians often complained about the acoustics in parts of the opera house so they have been working for many many years to bring it up to scratch I was very fortunate a few years ago to be invited into the very top sail of the Sydney Opera House and it was an amazing experience it wasn't for people who were large individuals because you had to step through this was like a picture frame you have to be able to step through it and bring it over your head otherwise you'd be too big and you couldn't fit through some of the small gap so when we eventually got to the top it was an amazing view and you can understand why it is so popular very few people get to the top by the way but for those many many millions of tourists who come to this country each year taking a selfie by the opera house is one of those things they simply have to do whether it should be commercialized or not is of course right at the heart of this very angry debate. Well thank you very much. In the in the papers this morning when I look at the Times front page most of the stories that are in the other papers are on this front page here Facebook paying a very little bit of tax comparative away on its U.K. Our main story being the identification of the 2nd overcharge spy and then the 3rd story is about a blood test which can identify those risk of a heart attack and the pictures of the suspect are on the front of the Guardian as well which has emphasized the Metropolitan Police report that it uses force on suspects $279270.00 times a day still express chooses to emphasize the fact that there are fewer police. Than there were says just 6 of Britain's Castra police forces have officers on the front desk despite soaring violent crime well let's take a look at U.K. Business Insider and joining me a little bit earlier to talk about what's on Business Insider website Jim Edwards OK the top of our site right now is Google shattering the Google plus Social Network after the Wall Street Journal has reported that there was a huge security lapse that exposed the personal Dacer of about $500000.00 Google plus users. And your reactions to this story may be similar to mine which is why I forgot to Google plus existence lie or real it's. Still But you see it's still out there and at its height Google plus had persuaded several $100000000.00 people to sign up for accounts and the way these things go is no one ever delete their accounts they just sort of stop using them and they don't think about them anymore but they still you know they hang out there and they had been part of Google system for all these years and in March Google discovered that there was a floor in its A.P.I. Which is which is sort of a thing that software developers use to connect to Google plus there was a there was a glitch in this piece of software if you often see a link there when you're on the other places you know connect through Google plus that kind of thing yes that's exactly how A.P.I. Is work all that that's what they used for rather. Anyway there was basically a hole in the system that allowed developers to take down 5 personal information from about 500000 accounts now no actual information I believe it was actually stolen but the information was exposed it was in secure so it's a big deal and the thing that makes the scandal worse is that Google knew about this in March but made an internal decision to not tell anyone. Their lawyers and policy experts wrote memos warning that disclosing the glitch would cause immediate regulatory interest and cause reputational damage in other words they didn't want to get sucked into the thing that Facebook is currently defending itself against where you know C.E.O. Mark Zuckerberg is being forced to testify in front of Congress and ask questions about why you can't keep your data safe so they chose to do the stupid thing which is to not tell anyone I mean but but what about the reputational damage caused when somebody eventually found out about this. Well yes I mean indeed if it does that it doesn't make any sense at all it is the only thing I can imagine they were thinking is that they thought well if we come clean now we will definitely make headlines alongside Facebook and that will be bad but if we can just sort of stave this off for a while maybe it will because it's about in the future but now of course it's you know it's never the crime it's always the cover up right so there were so so you want to see that little Google plus top of your G. Mail anymore I suppose you know you what you would see it ever again and it's slightly a shame because of course I like a lot of people I had a Google plus account there was a time when Google encouraged journalists to have Google plus accounts and suggested that if we have them we would get better ranking on their search engine so you know my Google plus account was in use and it had. You know messages and posts and there were some photos on there I can't remember anything else about it I remember anything specific about it but now it's all gone and I hope there wasn't anything important on there that I wanted to save their lives let's hold up. Another spy has been on Mars to. Yes. So this is the story about the ongoing investigation into the 2 Russian spies who came to Salzburg and attempted to poison ciggies cripple and his daughter and today the investigative website Bellingham has reported that the real name of the seconds by it was previously only known as petrol of his real name is Dr Alexander Yevgeny Michigan I may be mispronouncing that but not Alexander Michigan anyway and he was a trained military docs in the employ of the G.R.U. The G.R.U. Is one of the Russian Secret counterintelligence security forces similar to the F.S.B. Similar to the K.G.B. From the Soviet era. They've got the goods on in this website Belling has got everything they've got his you know it's like his passport photo and his address his real name old photos of him clearly demonstrating that it's him. They've got they've got the whole thing. It's pretty embarrassing for the Russians. You would say you would say and this comes on top of more revelations about G.R.U. Doings in different parts of Europe. Yeah so if you think back to the days of the Immediately after the attack and Solsbury like me you probably thought well this is deeply threatening and scary that Russians can just enter our country and attack you they want. What's happened since then is that we have ordered journalists and the security forces have since identified the 2 guys responsible they've also uncovered a completely incompetent gang of Russian G.R.U. Agents attempting to hack into the Dutch agency that investigates chemical weapons and several dozen G.R.U. Agent names and addresses and there was sort of car license plates and stuff like that. Have also been exposed by these websites so now actually the G.R.U. Is looking really quite incompetence and much less threatening than it was before it's it's actually pretty embarrassing for the Russians. Killer sniffed a little far into politics but it's it's not been very happy and. What that says this is the most bizarre story of the day. I know I really like this story because it demonstrates everything that is awful on the Internet right now. Recently a couple days ago Taylor wrote an Instagram post in which she endorsed 2 Democratic politicians who are running for election in Tennessee and she condemned the Republican Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn. Because she said I cannot go to someone who will not be willing to fight for dignity for all Americans the mass of their skin color or gender or who they love. Now that doesn't sound particularly controversial I suppose accept that the the ultra right who are the sort of underground online extreme right wing movement sort of very associated with white nationalism. They had previously convinced themselves or tried to convince the rest of us that Taylor Swift was in some way some kind of secret white supremacist and the base of their insane false theory was that because Taylor says almost nothing about politics and because she is sort of you know very beautiful and very white but she knows that she is a great example of the Arion race and her refusal to say anything political and her refusal to sort of condemn President Trump or Steve Bannan or any of these all right characters this prove that she was sort of secretly in the they all right and they made a series of memes in which they coupled photographs of her looking beautiful with quote inspirational unquote. Quotes from adult Hitler and passages from his speeches and stuff like that and they seeded these around the Internet. In the hopes that some people would be convinced that Taylor was quoting Hitler but it's also it was quite clever because it's not entirely clear that it was Hitler So for instance there's one of her it's a black and white photo she's looking very very moody she's staring off into the distance and underneath it is written it isn't history that makes heroes it is heroes that make history that's what I was actually said by Anil fellow that was not Taylor Swift anyway and just to wrap it up and I appreciate how mad this sounds but this is what happens on the Internet to wrap this up. Because Taylor has come out and said you know look I think you should vote Democrat the all right people who hang on hang around on this bulletin board called 4 chan they are absolutely furious with her and they want their revenge on her they're calling her a traitor they're calling for violence against her it's all very depressing and very silly and very stupid but it is it is the end if you like of very odd conspiracy theory that has been knocking around the internet for about 2 or 3 years now that Taylor Swift is a Nazi guess what it turns out she's not a Nazi. Share mad words Business Insider word for Dave the milk and all other members of Red Sox nation that would be really Red Sox in their 3rd game playoff against the New York Yankees everybody said they were going to be rubbish tonight Yankee Stadium guess what they were $16.00 and $1.00 so they're now lead to one in the series it's just after half past 4 from digital online smartphones and tablets this is B.B.C. 5 Live on the news now with Claribel it is believed the 2nd suspect in the souls we know of agent attack is a military doctor working for Russian intelligence the investigative website Belling Katz named him as Alexandra Miskin Moscow's yet to respond president Donald Trump's apologized to his new Supreme Court justice 40 describes as a campaign of law and securing the confirmation process right Kevin to face sexual assault allegations which he tonight.

Little radio. A lion cub Another one says been rescued off of being spotted by a jogger in a cage in a field the cub which is thought to be for 5 months old was found that its small cage just outside you'd say that local police have made a public appeal for information on the sonar but nothing so far none of the couple was taken to the lion find a sion and rubber Christ is it Star acted I asked Robert how it was a cub came to be found I cut a phone call early in the morning around 9 o'clock Sunday so on that it's early. And just was going breakfast with my children and I got a phone call on the authorities and they told me to phone the line called me at the city of Tikrit. And I could come to pick it up and I really thought it was a joke. You don't get many calls like that do you know never so I made a phone call again to somebody from the out or you know and he confirmed that it was a true story so then we didn't have. To call her things some cages because. It wasn't really clear hold the line cop us some of our told you it was a year old line a one year old this was already a big line so we took some different crates and we drove up to close about 2 hours and then we saw a lot of policemen standing next to the street in a little cage covered with a blanket and we came up and we looked under the blanket and we found this really afraid small line couple. What was the police story where where had this lion cub actually be the police received a phone call from a man who was a running on the street and. They got a phone call that he saw a tiger in the field so they came with a lot of people because they thought of the supplier and then they found a small coach with a lion Cup so because the new I was coming to pick him up they stay there for 2 and a half hours to keep the public away and that's how I found him not a word and can you do any sort of detective work on the cub I mean how how well cared for is he or she is well cared for to be honest. He's well fed and when we came up to me was afraid and was angry and so we took chameleon the bus brought him back to one of our put him in our current team with us for a few hours he relaxed and we just let them sleep although we've got a lot of camera crews coming to us to. Do this for the animals and so you know it's for the public so we just left them alone and one of the keepers just sometimes made a small film of him so we could share it with the public do you have a lot of lions so the lion find a sion Yeah. It's grown men shift the last couple of years we started in 2011 but since then we rushed to about 50 Alliance the Tigers and these are not lions who are left in cages in the middle of fields are they. No this is something nefarious usually normally week at tigers and lions from the circus because it's been in the U.K. But also in Ireland in a lot of countries so these people loose their job to try to find a new job or not so while they find out that nobody is looking for a shoulder lines anymore and then they give us a phone call. Go to pick them up how old would you say this lion cub actually is I think it's about 5 months. And and what would be the the future for him now we are at Elian's coming a lot of lines coming in. What we do we are all very brought some online spec to South Africa this year another 3 Lions will go there. We built big enclosures 2 or 3 have cash and. Protection the garbage and the will ready be set in this big enclosure but I think if I were aligned with the other ready line the sun in South Africa was a foreigner here in the rain all on this way we can also help a lot more animals in Europe. Probably in 2 or 3 years we will bring ready in to South Africa but for the 1st 2 or 3 years we will stay here and grow up and he's got a few rainy winters to go then yeah. The same like you in the U.K. When being called are you going to give money you know we gave them a name already Raimi Raney. It's you know the book. Can pronounce it in Dutch or the not English name alone in the world of pro famous book the character of a. When we shall this line couple was alone in the world decide to call him. as robert cry if the director of the lyin find the nation well way there's a lot of they the sea in the stories from taiwan this week as we joints and d. Sri helos and day oh now it's so we're talking about a a fishing and ways in which fishing briggs' a law part mike Yes Basically what happened is over to pass a few months a U.K. Based environment took group call Environmental Justice Foundation asked for a cameo in and President investigation of the Taiwanese fishing boats called a food show number 11 and what they did was they are they realized a fishing boat was found in Cape Town South Africa under serious suspicious conditions that had been suspected of violating human rights and also over fishing including shark finning so it investigators went to contact a crew members and found out after they returned to Indonesia that they were all kinds of violations on the boat and the crew members actually filmed a lot of evidence using mobile phones and that was presented to this environment a group and they of course then brought the case to the Taiwanese government and initially the Taiwanese inspector at Cape Town has simply said that he didn't find any evidence of violations and that the boat owner free and that the boat go but with the evidence from the environmental group the boat all the companies authorities had no choice but to launch to own investigation when the boat returned to shore in Taiwan and just this last week they were able to I think can come to their investigation and they decided to find a bull owner in $120000.00 U.S. Dollars Now that's that's actually it sounds like a lot of money but it's actually not a lot given that there were many crewmembers on board and many of them said that they were paid a full wages they were forced to work 22 hours a day as some some on some days and some of them suffer serious injuries and were still forced to work so these are very serious violations and on top of that the crew members have said that they're what you legal a shark finning meaning that the Sharks were caught but they were defense were cut off and a bloody body was flown back into the sea because the fins are what what what what what you know can bring in a lot of money because look you need to consider a delicacy in this part of the world. But the Taiwanese government ash decided not to fine the boat for overfishing and that's something that the NGO in the U.K. Is very disappointed by another a lot of time when he's fishing boats you know who go for this kind of long distance journey. Well a lot of time when he's fishing boats actually do go in to all parts of the world I mean Taiwan has one of the biggest fishing industries in the world and it's boats go everywhere in fact you know each each year it brings in about $2000000000.00 worth of exports and a lot of these experts go to Japan but they also go to European countries and that's why this issue is such a big deal because the European Union has issued a yellow card warning for Taiwan's fishing industry to clean up on its practices of over fishing basically unregulated and and undocumented fishing and if it doesn't clean up its act the next step will be that you will stop a red card on Taiwanese shifting exports that means that exports be banned from entering European Union countries so this is a big deal for Taiwan and some believe that this is why the Taiwanese government while fining this boat on human rights violations refused to find them on overfishing It's almost as if it doesn't want to admit that overseas should still a problem because the government has carried out measures to try to track down his problem in hopes of saving the industry from from getting the red card but from just investigation alone vite by the U.K. Based NGO Environmental Justice Foundation we we can see that this is still an ongoing problem that the government has to deal with. Well if you're growing up in Taiwan or young woman probably you want to do nothing more than run your own business. Well this is according to a survey that from the job bank 1111 that issued a survey just months it found that 90 percent of time as women have entrepreneurial intentions and about 27 percent of them have actually become business woman and not caring or carrying out their business plans and it doesn't explain exactly why but one of the reasons that the woman cited is that they want more flexible work schedules and that's something that is not surprising at all because in Taiwan you know employees are expected to work 10 to 12 hours a day and that's detrimental to any kind of social life. And even if some women are dating or married it's still really difficult for them to have to have kids because of the low wages and the long working hours so many of them have to make very tough decisions on whether to give up their career or to have a baby and this is an ongoing problem some women. Once they have a child a day actually let their parents or in-laws take care of their child and if the in-laws or parents live in another city that they don't really get to see their child very often and understand that and as sort of a entrepreneurial entrepreneurial culture in Taiwan Yes Taiwan has a very strong entrepreneurial culture partly because of the problems I just mentioned which is it's a very employer friendly environment and the last protect employers so despite some government efforts to improve working conditions it's really hasn't made a big difference because the whole culture is very hardworking and very pro business and troll employer You almost look down upon the if you you know leave work on time or if you take all your vacation days and insist on taking all of them I mean it's. Yes you just supposed to want and have to be your life and so a lot of people do try to like start businesses because they see to as an alternative to you know I'm a better life actually and more free life very interesting that you would start your own business because you want more time off a lot of people would think that running your own business is the biggest tie there could possibly be. True but at least they are there own boss they can get to him work out their own hours you know if they need to take a break they can decide to do so it is very stressful but it is it is a very big part of the culture because most of the businesses here actually are small and medium sized enterprises so there's a long tradition here of having a seventies you know florist in Taiwan so it's actually something to people strive for to be their own boss. And. We're having a bit of an environmental time of it given that we just had the the climate panel returning the report time when he's people are not much more aware of the amount of rubbish that there is in your coastal balsams Yes which looks very ironic about Taiwan is it's one of the the strongest recyclers in the world as a huge recycling industry so it recycles more garbage more of it's garbage than you know many Western countries but a same time is actually one of the biggest polluters and it did people here I have a strong habit of using disposable products plastic products including plastic bottles bottle T. Bottled drinks they don't really drink tea to traditional way anymore it was actual cups very few people you know do that so they they actually generate a lot of garbage and recently a time when he's and called a corrosive ocean Education Foundation launch what they call it a 1st ever investigation of how much garbage there is to act at the she around Taiwan you know timelines einen so surrounded by coastal waters and the health of its ocean. WATERS It's a very important not only for tourism but for you know fishing for other livelihood so for the whole ecosystem so this and you have a window into that in some places the amount of garbage was actually as bad as in some of the worst locations polluted sea waters in the world they found out you know what I call 101958 items of garbage per square kilometer of water in some places and on 70 percent 6 percent of their journey they day found garbage so good the oceans around Taiwan are no longer you know clean and. The garbage they found most. Casting plastic wrapping lastic bato and small plastic particles that get into the the Marine Fishery products and eventually get into human bodies so this is quite a big concern and an interesting need to see and you know it's not just calling for the government to do something about this problem they're actually calling on ordinary people to make their sacrifices that next time they go they did Sir Steve don't go to the in-store and just grab a bottle a beverage take their own bottle with them you know like a steel. Bottle and and go to beverage shops to have it showed up or just simply get free water from the subway stations there's a thought. Send a thank you so much. The 1st suffer from Afghanistan to take part in the world championships is now setting its sights on the Olympics the sport will feature for the 1st time in Tokyo in 2020 as well as training for the competition on free to an armload is on a mission to get more of his countrymen to take up the sport because he is the cofounder of the wave Writers' Association of Afghanistan he's been telling me how he got into surfing. Well it basically started when I well after finished school me and a couple of friends of mine we went hitchhiking West to France and over there somebody gave me surf board I went into the water and that was it I was falling in love immediately. Actually when I think about it even as a child I was always fascinated by waves so I guess it was just a matter of time until I picked up surfing. And did you find that it was pretty easy to pick up I mean did you have a lot of friends who were going to show you the ropes. Not at all I'm somebody who was totally into sports from into sports on my life I did so many different sports and I don't know any sport that takes so much time to actually get better in like like surfing does but that was not the point I wasn't so much into getting better into going into competition it was just everything around singing and the fact that you are in the middest of nature that you are in the water and trying to go kind of into some symbiosis with the waif that yeah that was so mind blowing for me so it wasn't easy but that didn't matter. And is it fair to say that if you spent all your young life in Afghanistan you might not be suffering did that your international movement rather help you yeah of course I mean if it wouldn't have lived in Germany wouldn't have gone to France and probably would never have started surfing It's true yeah yeah I know and how about the Waveriders of Ghana stuff and other really more than one. Absolutely you know as going to stand as a country with one of the biggest X. Our population in the world so there are a lot of Afghans and California Australia actually a lot of than in the U.K. As well so yeah there are plenty of evidence who actually had a similar biography like I have and this is by death quite a few as going to surface but just recently we actually started to find surface within Afghanistan and I guess that makes it even more interesting well exactly when asked of the train how and how would you train to be a sufferer if you live not against the right so as you already mentioned I'm living in Germany right now and Germany obviously is not famous for its waves as well but what they do in Germany what they actually started decades ago was surfing the rivers out of necessity and pretty much the same thing what you can do in Afghanistan I mean Afghanistan has got a lot of mountains really strong mountain river rivers and they've got plenty of waves river race but this is what you can surf it's almost the same as surfing in the ocean and this is actually what we did this year for the very 1st time we went to Afghanistan we served in Afghanistan and we want to promote this we want to build up the evidence of steam. As co-founder of the Waveriders Association of Afghanistan that's and suffering on a river I can't imagine suffering on a Scottish are pretty skinny and places anyway. But that's what they're doing and that's how they're doing it. I thank you for being with us tonight 3 weeks.
