we are getting a clearer picture now about the unstructured raid on mar-a-lago. including on the first ladies and we begin with primary month less than a few months away in november. bret baier is joining us now. good evening. good evening, shannon. you mentioned a governors race there with the trump candidate against the candidate who was endorsed by former vice president mike pence. she did pull off a win in milwaukee county, which was the rest of the state, however, that really backed michael s. and that s setting up a battle between michael s and the incumbent governor. senate side, the surprise, ron johnson wins trying to get reelection there and on the democratic side going away is barnes, that will be an interesting race for the senate. now in vermont we ve got peter welch, the congressman there, this is the heat that patrick leahy, the longest-serving senator is retiring. welsh winning this and jordan maloley winning this over the former u.s. attorney, nolan. an

we ve gathered these. yeah. we found these ones, which have got to be from the 80s or 90s. it s in really good condition. it s really good condition! neoprene is such a strong material that they ve used it to line landfill in the past, so that goes to show how long it will take to degrade. yeah. but when it does, it s so harmful for the environment. have you got any idea of the scale of the problem you re trying to tackle? in all honesty, until we started this collection, not really. like, the stats aren t even out there. we ve had to do our own research to look at the size of the global wetsuit market. we ve conservatively come to probably about 8000 tons of neoprene a year will ultimately end up in landfill because there s nowhere else to put them. so, what do they plan to do with all these old, washed up wetsuits? well, six months later, this is the result. it may not look much but company boss tom kay thinks it could be the future. we ve taken the thousand wetsuits that were dest
for landfill, sent them off to bulgaria and they ve been repurposed into a foam wetsuit like material that we are now testing in some cold water products this autumn. right. so, that could be part of a wetsuit? yeah. i mean, it seems pretty stiff. so, yeah, it s a bit stiff there but then you add a laminate on it like this and it starts to get a bit more of the properties that you need for a wetsuit. 0k. not quite able to make a fully functioning surf suit out of it yet, but it is a process. there are other options. this suit was made from natural rubber, harvested from sustainable plantations. but critics say this bio rubber isn t as durable or as cheap as oil based neoprene. tom says the industry needs to invest in order to change. some of the press that s coming out around the toxicity of neoprene is extreme, to say the least, horrendous. so, if you knew that, why wouldn t you change? the industry says it s already supporting the development of alternative wetsuits. the surf industr
but choosing a sustainable option isn t going to be easy because, once again, the petrochemical industry is behind the traditional wetsuit material, neoprene. it s been used to manufacture them for more than 70 years. it s energy intensive to make and the toxic chemical it s made from is a possible carcinogen. and a neoprene wetsuit isn t going to biodegrade any time soon. it s estimated abouti million are incinerated or end up in landfill every year. recycling them hasn t been an option. ..until now. in an anonymous lock up in east london, one british surf company has been collecting old wetsuits its customers had lying around. this is the collection of suits that we gathered, and i think. that s a lot of suits. ..just in this pile here, we ve probably got about just over 950. less than four weeks
