of the that's all for me for now. um, next close up travels to the mediterranean to meet the people working to save wales from fos to moving ships the ground for that if you can, i might need to look at and i'll be back to the top of the hour. it's national headlines. thanks so much for watching the votes, people have to say the that's why we listen to based on the record every weekend on d w. the,

it's amazing to interact with creatures that are so much bigger than yourself in the above. sometimes a large vessel will collide with the will not even realize that part of it. i love the fact that i can do something to help protect them the the search ever since i was a child i have dreamed of becoming a marine biologist. you can push it calmed,

i was look into projects online and found this one from the texas institute and signed up for the but the she bought it. it's the spouse of an exciting week. hi, i'm sophia mamma. sophia, from the texas institute welcomes and the boards, they'll spend a week studying whales in the mediterranean. so i don't want to much. i'm really excited because i think this is a unique experience. i've never done anything like it before on, on, on my thoughts though. i'm also hoping to learn a loss and find out whether this is something i want to do in the future or the company. it is a quick stop with the asset on your side. because the test was essential on both the pedagogy the research is, will be living in very close for to down here is where the 17 year old will be sleeping. so this is the cabin. you'll see here with 3 others. choose one of the top bunk. i'll show you the bathroom at the bottom. you

think you can hang your things in here. ok. i hope i don't get seasick, but if i do, i'll take something, it will work out. so the shortest that'll be traveling in the political century of the coast of from italy and monaco, covering 87000 square kilometers. it's erupts, not just marine protected area on time to mold in 2012, about which little is known. in the port of sun re mo, sabina, i rosie from the texas research institute and skip over about to ryan eddie. a keen to get underway. vocal $45.00, a month. severe storms have been full cost. what are the technologies?

it looks bad. it will be very difficult to observe the wells patel somebody genuine . so look, there's a large, special pulling in your shoes trying to pop right next to the research vessel. roberto and sabina are concerned that the small sailing boat could get damaged. it's fast boats like these with loud engines, the, to the biggest threat to the whales out at sea. but the, the knob, you know, every day we see the impact that these big vessels have on the whales get on the trip. we often see whales with wounds caused by the propellers to canada and if anything that's happening out today and you can every year was such as from texas, we quoted serious injuries, sustained by the way us. they named one way of co deluxe or separate tail fins.

they kept on seeing him, unrecorded, the progression of his injury until in the winter of 2020 co dom up says stuff to death. the injury was probably the result of a collision with the ship. the sometimes the battle of the ship, it's a fin. well, over a spring, well, the captain doesn't even feel it. like on this photo. the well was on a cargo ship that pulled into the port. no one on board had been aware of that. meanwhile, 80 kilometer is to the northeast in the port of savannah. the passenger fairy is about to leave for the island. of course, it comes to bad. full cost is no problem for the huge vessel. it has a note, the capacity of 5000 tons and can take over 2000 passengers. captain antonio,

almo expects to reach corsica by evening. the roots passes right through the pedagogues century. the problem is, as marine mammals, whales have to surface regularly to breathing at all levels. finding whales directly in our path doesn't happen that often, but it can happen. the mobile can be done with well reset, choose from the environmental group. cima is also on board here to the account for wales and environmental problems like gum page, for example. but today is whether it makes it difficult. in fact, under these quite hazy conditions. supposing whales wouldn't be easy either the

hopefully we'll still be able to see them despite the weather. let's hope they all if any of the research is supposed to well, the ferry will change course and slow down the crew has agreed to get along with this. even though the captain is convinced the whale would move to avoid the ship. i've been sailing on these routes for 22 years, and i have never witnessed the collision. never. and it's never happened to us either. and yet, shipping has increased, must've lee in the protected area, posing an eval great to stretch to the whales. the marine mammals

play a key role in maintaining the economic called balance of the oceans. says project manager, pola tips which may buy in austin, whales and dolphins are considered the engineers of the marine eco system because they have a major impact on many other spaces and they are kind of protective umbrella. spc do i need someone come out to? so if you protect them, you protect the entire traffic network, i mean all the inter connected food chains in the coast system on no 5 to the kids at all to go back in sun re mos dependent cost is going nowhere because of the weather. but the team that using the time to get to know one another with homework the, my name is the d. i the field work a please. just to get the visa we, i'm responsible for collecting data. i am the,

i'm just going to be the main biology. my name is christina, from space. and then, well, i'm part of this stuff here in to dispute this week. so i'm a m, i'm 17 years old and dying here because i want to figure out if the marine biology is what i want to study in the future. over the next few days, the volunteers will what with the research team, locating and identifying, wiles, sadly one in 7, orange. it touches for such as have spent nearly 40 years trying to persuade the government to do more to protect wales, the more information they have. the better they can present the case we have one of the largest doctor sits on the sending the institutions and the longest that the series on these pieces. each

warranty it pays 800 to you guys to spend a week on the research page. they'd love to head out right away, but the next rain front is approaching from the mainland. skip the rebecca to ryan natty. is responsible for everyone on board spivey. okay scott. hopefully it'll rain now and then be over on the subpoena. i really depends to make good use of the downtime. she's going to observe wales in a different way. she's managed to convince the european maritime safety agency or m . so to study the migrate to remove mints of whales from the,

at the same pretty much so it's very exciting because this is an extremely innovative project and it's something completely new that will allow us to make it a very important contribution to the scientific community. a lot, i like the way no one has ever used a drill and like we're using for this purpose of observing dwells out, don't have any part of the quest, the people she has an appointment at the minute she at bass insults on the sabina i already has even managed to get the millet tree involved normally this uh, base only monitors maritime traffic and c pollution. but today the focus is on the actual marine life the of the, the m says,

remotely piloted aircraft, is ready for takeover. one of sabrina's coworkers is also in the control room to help the military personnel search for whales syndrome pilot jones, that please it's, it's been something of a learning curve. he's used to monitoring ships and boats. supposing whales from a height of 250 meters is a whole different matter. it's much harder because you're dealing with nature, you know, not too long. so you have to follow nature's clues to you're looking for jets of water in the movements of a c. c that i'm used to watching the boat. this mission here is much more difficult here. let me see. so that i find it very moving to see the different whales and dolphins is it just, it does seem to have the drone is fine and precisely defined. reach

the yeah, i see. i love jump, thanks to the sensors. on this drone, we have the ability to take pictures that allow us to identify and photograph individual well, so then to pick out it is single. so it really is an exceptional source of data. i'm in the phone this from within ivy deducting it is of the driving has now been flying over the gulf of general off for 2 hours. unfortunately without success, the team haven't cited any whales today. the, during the last flights they made an extraordinary discovery, capturing a group of mazda of wales with then young

a supplement with some of the chips and all it was amazing because in our area, you normally only see adults on their own coming here to feed and if we had to stay in been going to keep that around their money on it, could that indicate an issue with food sources or are there other reasons? i'm not, i didn't want to let tennis linkable. so instead of there could be all sorts of reasons and more of the, just all of them. but yeah, the most likely one is that they came here for food. that's another reason you know, so we know that their food source, especially for sperm wells, is mainly deep c squared help of a couple of them and they are sensitive to changes in temperature. so my eyes and sound like you sense to be, they come with them. so we're looking to see if there's any connection. there is a magic way. so supports us showing a quarter like showing sabina is expertise is also useful for the coast guards

san jose, any responsible for people's safety, but also for protecting marine life in the mediterranean. with the touches institutes help the local coast guard now wants to develop a whale warning system for ships. the boston advertising that would allow ships to take preventive action, like reducing their speed or changing course to reduce the risk of the collision that they bought up at the same people. after all, that's the biggest threats to our well he's give, we much would mean this on his boss, pc. what else? each at that the pentacles century is a from called the north pole of the mediterranean, which was extremely cool. and the sea bed is chris crossed by 2000 meter deep canyons. that's a home to deep sea squids. the main food have spun wails. the corsica ferry is now pulsing through that dealing with tim. i think one is that when the well surface 2 breeds, they don't necessarily notice that a ship is nearby. this is something that needs more research you a certain

way that i lost it. i didn't see to say, but it was for sure. it was too crooked to be seen whilst a feeling well with surface. again in about 10 minutes, that's a spam wail might stay under warranty for up to an hour. still, there was such a hoping to see it again. look when you change your mind conditions are not ideal today, but we still spotty to wells on it and look up with all you would already know by now there. so the acts aside from starting monday or something's done, it's quite far away. maybe 2 nautical miles from our boat to a lot for that on the backend sun. we know, meanwhile the weather has improved. the group can finally head out to see everyone is assigned to role changing off to an hour. the reset tokenize ation touch. this

needs development t is sound the is the 1st to be assigned to the account. no one expected us to go out today after the waves came into the honda quickly is some of the key of what's in now. we're all excited hoping to see something close on speed on them. bad m a has to learn to accurately assess the sea and the weather conditions and pass on the information for the reco. danny class, you press here to speak. so when you've made up your mind, you tell us, so you say water surface to benefit the little thing in a safe place and then you look at the waves, whether they're small or huge, all county travel cases sort of demand. no, i would say waves to see you today for support with the coaches takes out

volunteers from may to september. that's the best time to observe wells. but it's become more difficult. the weather this year was quite unsettled. last winter was relatively dry, but that was followed by a lot of rain in the some box. then by skip roberto suspects the roaming of the oceans is to blame you. i'm going to do where he's got in recent years. we've noticed the surface waters have warmed steadily. last year we had a surface temperature of $29.00 degrees. we've never had that before. a few beds is all they get to see today. the site things are recorded in the low enough to, to hours they head back to ports. the full cost for the following day is much better the

next morning. they spouts out, sadly. sabina is wasting around just being frustrating for everyone. and no one got much sleep in the cramped conditions that hoping today will be the day of the whales. it's a nice day. we should be able to go far out to see. hopefully we'll see some saving sabina, we'll be leading the expedition the she studied biology and started off researching insects. it was only later that she heard about wales in the mediterranean and became interested. she took policy and a number of research trips. one brought to this area of the coast of sand we met the deductible came out after traveling all over it,

at least coastal waters. so suddenly 1 july morning at 6 20 am. i found myself surrounded by 11 wheels, so i didn't know where to look for us to go. and then i realized that this was going to be my life. for the next 30 or 40 years, sabrina's assistant, mario drops a microphone into the room to resting it drag behind the boat to the depths of sus teammate. as there were such as want to use the microphone to pick up the noise is made by whales and dolphins. they communicate and navigates using a variety of sounds. the microphone can detect them, the reading memos up to 10 know to go miles away. that is provided knowledge, ships, call spine, and be suitable,

and then you get a continuous noise that's very off putting non i get the can, the by ships and fairies, all disrupt the sounds that the whales need to communicate and to see get what you need them ship and what company he's already unbearable for similar things. so put it, that'd be the but we can just take off the headphones, going up with the whales. can't do that a little bit. so goes that no, no, no, it's m as turn to be on the account. she immediately spelt something. at 1 o'clock, 2 o'clock the, it's a positive defense. fitness center, they're getting louder. the,

it seemed to their clicking and wistfully cuts arena can filter out of the background noise. these clicks allow them to get their bearings in mind. the dolphins use them to register their surroundings. these lines are the whistles for communication. this is a beautiful with so very long and complex. we can't understand what they're saying, but we know that the dolphins are communicating with each other and using eco location to detect their surroundings. the dolphin seem inquisitive. coming right up to the research best. so can we, we don't know how many there are because the read for you with me from behind this

together easily share some the vin. suddenly fidel faced disappear again on board. everything is documented dependent goes, continues. it's jenny, out to see leaving the coast behind them. they head out to the terrain. if the wales sabina gives names to wales that she encounters several times. one of them is freddy. he has deep scars on his back. presumably from a ship's propeller. she seen him repeat today when okay, just saying this shows us the wells extraordinary will to survive him,

but it also reveals the inability of the power goes sensual. rachel, really protect these magnificent creatures squished? well, they see freddy today. the mario look. i saw something at 1 o'clock, the 200 meters take a look. i think i saw something a puff and a jump. everyone has that eyes peeled now. fin wales on the dye for a short time if it's been well and we'll have to come up to and about 10 minutes

roberto. so those the both right down so it's not to find yeah, i'm all to some of us so we're pretty close to him. but he's disappeared, he's doing a long dive, heading to the depths that they move fast underwater, and we'll have to see where he surfaces and live. and then there's another one a bit further ahead tab. once we've identified this one and we'll go to the other one, the ones that how much time has passed. now the 9 minutes, the

a side. it's a fin, well, many 20 meters long and no one. sabina nose. can you see the 2nd one? the then the 2nd way, oh, jumps to those whales keep surfacing around the pedagogy. neither of them is freddy . but the young crew is didn't like the same page of old and i've never seen a while before. it's amazing to interact with creatures. so to so much, because in yourself i've done one, we still not like discovered a thin well with

a white mark on it's been, it's not a natural marking. it's some kind of scar either from a ship's propeller or more likely from fishing gear, or the story about being able to get close without disturbing them was, you know, and then those 2 jumps were fantastic, a gift bidding and to the day. indeed, the week i'm kid. even after seeing them hundreds of times, it's always an emotional moment. it's always the same. let me 1st it's emotional,

but then the research on me takes over. i know i have to collect data. the thing. sure. right from the 1st a not just from talking to the other biologist and the girls here. now i'm even more convinced. this is what i want to study when we talk. what are the people this to do audio arriving back in the post of sun rima sabina, i really has no time to waste. she wants to analyze all the new sightings. immediately. i have to go. we fairly arrived. the engine still running the savannah plans to meet again with politicians and officials. she was that top and high efforts to protect the whales. the crew continued to try count volunteers to go way on,

watching naturally a new generation of were such as keen to protect these magnificent giants in the mediterranean, the actually we don't have a choice. i think that we have little time list to save the planet. so we have to do what we can as fast as possible. we only have $110.00 ration left just 25 years to implement the greatest revolution since the doing of the industrial age. replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy around the world without exception. this is

a local energy transformation really tossed onto the forward as well or is it for our 2 pod document? trees the renewables whether this starts november 25th on dw do you love, take tuck shop on the table? do you own a walk away or tell me phone? well, chinese companies like these have been accused of spying on the customers. nevertheless, the products continue to be popular worldwide. and many governments deployed chinese tech to is tech made inside on no different than tech developed in other countries, especially risks for you as a consumer. and for state security china efforts to become established as a big scale tech supply. a can be clearly seen in africa.
