and you're watching the domain is lines from the outlet or minds. you can find lots more news analysis and video on a website that is the top, the cost of bringing them. how much, thanks for watching. take care by the 1000000 people in what it's in just a 100 days. my power is going to be bunch of smart harmony. what cute. how was this age? i'm on a journey to find out about the russo the 19 there to put you on the site to see the rhonda. my name is some way to ship me there. i'm afraid it makes me shaming history out documentary stuffs. april 6th on dw, the

. i'm going to a bay on the federal islands to a pilot whale hunt. samsung. i'm scared of physics often. lots of people have tried to feel them a pilot while hunt on the pharaoh islands isn't, but they are often chased away in front of us. we know about drones that have been shows how to the, the times have been removed from people's cars. so i don't really know how they'll react to us. a quick warning, some people may find some of these food each hunt to watch. these documentary tells the story of how i go see it and why this bloody tradition still exists. the

of the my name is christy, and i'm sitting next to me is andreas who does the editing. we made a film in september 2021, about a dolphin hunt on the pharaoh islands for a german news channel. more than 1400 dolphins were killed here. and in just a single day. doesn't data these. these images went around the world in 2021, because no one had ever documented a sloth or such a large number of dolphins before. and to be honest, those were images, i was been unable to suggest, as well as a couple of 1000 people around the world have protested these kind of hunting. the images upset me and i wanted to know more. we go to the cameras team and flew north to pharaoh while entering the north

atlantic between scotlands norway, iceland, just as a 50000 people lived here. everyone knows everyone. it was important to me to keep an open mind on this trip. i wanted to understand not to judge why a people still killing pilot whales and other adults since here the my travel a lot. but it looks different here. wild and rough. we headed to the capitol to shone. when most of the pharaoh leaves leave the perfect place to meet people who can introduce us to the world of wales hunters. this spot is cut off. i am waiting for pet to a young man who lives here on the pharaoh island. he's also a field making you shop that footage back in 2021. i want him to take me to the place where it all happened. citizen of the. okay.

so you must have had to. yeah. hey, good to meet you. is it possible that you bring me to the place where the drop off last time? yeah. it takes 15 minutes so it's not far away. okay, perfect. let's try to head to a see go to cro key told me he was born on the pharaoh islands and grew up in a small village in 2021. he realized that something special was happening. he showed me the place where the animals was floated the beach, whether what happened? yes, it's very silence before. but you can feel that the athens various like, okay, everyone's getting ready. everyone that's participating is getting ready to see where exactly they are going to come in. like as soon as the wireless close enough to be killed, someone's gotta be ready there. and then you start coming and just officer and you

do as a, do it as fast as possible. the pet to us said he didn't take part in the hunt back then instead he filled this footage. it's going around the world. if you don't like the size of blood, please look away for a moment. an agonizingly long time was needed for the few overwhelmed hunters. q. the more than $1400.00 whiteside adults, and instead of a few minutes, as is usually the case for a 100, as low as it took at least half an hour. but have you ever seen a slaughter like this before? like this one? no. but what is your personal opinion through a thing that should stop or is it ok that continues here is complicated when i was young, i joined into grins and i wanted to be a part of the grand support my father and getting foods. it was something that was

valuable, but then i went to the other the other day virus i was against it more or less. how could that be a tradition? the killings, animals that way. that's where you're from. some uh, some traditions are more fruitful for all their cultures. i don't think it's really a tradition. it's been a necessity also because it's been food in times where you couldn't ethan. some people have called with a gift from called a gift from god, may be understandable when there's nothing to eat. but why still do it today? pet to assess his father also hunts whales and dolphins. and we've been invited to come over. the front door is open.

this man eating usually is in some what interest, listen. pay to his father and away left. his mother doesn't want to be filmed again, so on the other hand has no problem with it. he's a teacher and it's obviously not the 1st time he's explained to a city kid like me, why they que wyles here. that's all this, this picture. when you go to germany, you would never see a painting of kidding picks or couse in your living room. but you have us here by the class you or because we are close to the nature you you have you ever seen that been killed? no, probably not. because it's behind close stores. and here to the kindergarten go to a just lots of houses to see how the sheets were killed. so that's the reason why i think why if you don't see anything killed in any german living room. sorry that

like it killed. because they like to meet on the table and so hypocrites, maybe we know that they're intelligent animals as well, thousands of very in terms. and so why do you think it's right to kill these kind of most anyhow? for just in case wrong? i'm not saying that i'm just asking you, why are things right? i more i working with people that extremely low intelligent intelligence giving me several, it gives me the right to kill any wrong. i'm really wrong. let me do it for food. and we'd go things or that's why the cost was from a teacher. yeah. and seems irritated the way it was, know that most non pharaoh ways don't understand. and to pose the wailings. we watch a video by see ship it an organization that is campaigned against the hunt for years

. the animal rights activists, and many of the locals and the facts, they're doing the music and everything might as well as video was calling and saying the things you are saying is perusal. and so to know what you see me is the best commercial surveys ever. and so i really, yeah, so why do you think that they are promoting even degree does wrong for young families, whalers and 2012. when she shepherd announced that they would come to the federal island. there was a printer next to the few or 10 stimulus who were so many young people as at work i wish it would do with all. so we couldn't even teach them so many the what and it has been tough money ever since. so all what they are doing is the opposite.

the animal rights activists denounced the whaling, but yet defends it as a necessity. who's right? so we can ask the see, ship it activists themselves. but 1st, let's recount what we know about dolphins and the hunt for them. the the fairways come different types of doses. whiteside adults ends for example. but then mainly interested in pilot whales, which are also adults since they have very social and leaving groups known as pods use this posted and the weather is right. this era we use cold for a and like they have for hundreds of years. the hunters then rush out to sea and drive the animals into the feud with the boats to kill them in the shallows. they always record how many they killed. an average $630.00 pilot whales per year. and

about $265.00 of the dolphins, the, the pharaoh, we say the animals and nothing danger. hundreds of thousands leaving the seas. they don't understand why active us still have a problem with whaling. fizzles, i'm trying to get in touch with samuel from sea ship. it must be activists usually rent small apartments or houses somewhere. i want to meet them and find out where they are on the island, and maybe they'll get in touch soon. of finding them is not that easy. said cutting the shape of the just reply. we can meet at 5 pm for the reference that we get the address and head out. the

system was also easy to find the spots because we would check it on the map of the we drove around, but it was not so easy to navigate. and finally, we noticed as cameras, filming the courtyard as we arrived, they were installed after the team suspected that car had been tampered with work by made alexandra electric from poland upside to confine. why did you decide to to come to the fair rod and i'm a more info just so i started to start and just starting wheels. i'm really interested in them. they're beautiful on most very frustrating. i mean, we don't really know much about them. they're still a bit mystery and what's happening here? yeah, i'm just just said something to, i personally think shouldn't be happening anymore. but do i understand the people say like the shepherdess not really interested in our tradition. they just take the

pictures, put some traumatic music over it, and just chow their lot in the sea, but they don't explain for tradition. can you understand? yeah, absolutely. yeah. they've been doing it for so many years. it is a tradition for them. that's what they've been doing to survive as well. what's the problem? and our view is that it's sold necessary anymore, so necessary suffering for the honorable samuel russell. and he's co workers trying to film every whale hunt with drones. the footage shows the animals don't even have a fighting chance. like one of the maybe worst things is the chase before the actual hans can take hours. and they state themselves that the way they do that facing is by creating kind of like a sound. well, behind them, and this is designed to frighten the animals and a certain direction because you can see the way they're swimming now isn't?

it isn't casual anymore. no. at this point they're, they're, they're running away. right? they're, they're in, in, in fear. and they're swimming very, very fast way faster than that. they would be out of open waters. no chance to escape for the little snow. that's a wall behind them. and there's like land on each side. so there's only one way to go. a pos to a lead to get in the you off the hear the argument while were killed because we've done is it always true that the eat the whole animal as the most of it? i would say um, you don't know what happens is, i mean afterwards. so do they use a little bit? they keep it, but at least from what we saw, they did take most of it. but they do is they basically open the animals and they take the largest pieces of meat off. yeah there's, they're easily accessible just under the bar and many of them leave rest back to show me the place where you think they've done uh, the bodies. oh wow. yeah,

absolutely. let's go. they check the lug nuts on the car before we leave. they're afraid of most sabotage. we drive north to a steep gorge the awhile here to slide down into the water and the waves distribute find a lot of the, the activists to the school teacher, the different gorge. it's supposedly from 2022 and proves the fairways don't use all parts of the dead animals. i can't get too upset about that. we do the same with all the animals. if you go to the supermarket,

what i do by all means you're checking your beef whatsoever. these are behind roles killings. if we do it. absolutely. so can you follow this, this argument a little bit better? very correct. very, very right. those on it was the head of the night before the most of the he does the society, it out of the people. it's a, they didn't, they were just raise to the killed. we don't see, that's what they do is either we think it's very wrong. so what is the solution that everybody stops it to me as well? does ideally, but it's all really possible. i would say it's a difficult problem, but i do, you wouldn't have to that would be the ideal solution. the activists have been coming here for years and believe attitudes of slowly changing. they claim some sarah ways are also against wailing, but that many of them don't this become. so when people reach out to me and say that they're against the grins,

that they can speak about it because they will do side their business, or they will have a struggle in social situations. and that's also like the side of it where we want to kind of read that on surprise by what samuel says that perhaps not everyone on the island supports the pilot while hunt but many fairways don't want to be criticized from outside is why i find someone who might know the good the rates are we gates, tristan and they're good to get us. this said with a very good this is true to a scholarly and these consider the colorful character on these for most islands. he was an actor and generalist that is now a politician and broken train. when you describe a typical of a man or woman, how would you describe well, it's a, it's

a person who likes freedom. when i was a young way i was visiting my most of my grandmother in the solenoid instead of my life. i remember one the one day one morning i was sitting at the kitchen table listening to the radio on the she was saying the words, the words, the word this a bad place as indicating say between the lines. it's so good to be not part of the work that we in the federal. why that's really we're outside the the pharaoh islands officially belonged to denmark. but i realized early that for the pharaoh ways the kingdom is far away. the islands have been largely autonomous since 1948 over 5 years. there's office yes. minutes or finance? minister of foreign affairs. the federal ways have faced repeated criticism for hunting pilot whales, including by the e. u,

which prohibits the hunting of dolphins through various species protection agreements. just one of the reasons the fairways decided not to join the you. what is your opinion to what's the tradition of for, or against and in the truck i, i must be see a lifetime for because i've, i've participated with account. i have killed several ways. so they live, they free lives in the ocean, and then they're driven into assure i'm the 1st thing they meet that this sharp is this louse with cubes 10 minutes. 15 seconds and then they're done. of course there is suffering because they driven to the shore and they get distressed. right? but you have to compare with how you get to meet. otherwise, you have to compare it with take stuff to imprison their whole life that live a life with only one person coming from for people. when you compare that to

the killing of pilots with the pilots, with killing wins, and then you compare my do you think you can take me to the drop? the one that was here today? yeah, that's the that's the cast take response. he knows perfectly well that it's um, like lea, they'll be a hunt today. it can take days or weeks before the animals this posted in the atlantic. someone will have to call us when one starts witnessing one while here on the islands would be in a normal stroke of luck. and i'd have to know the right people. young men are apparently particularly keen on hunting. i look for clues and then down the middle

faced with a group of young ro is hired as well. one will become a key figure of the they train with wouldn't rolling boats and race village against the village on the open water throughout the summer. or we do start like what, like $6060.00 strokes per minute. why can 6 these strokes for a minute? i was on the rowing machine in the hotel this morning. this was going to move and i saw the display and i had like 20. okay. yeah, no, they allow me to accompany them anyway. rowing is too hard to talk to wouldn't been, she's real caught the smell of sweat these everywhere. but it's fun. the,

fortunately they don't want to go out to sea with me. one of the ro is, is john roy, who are innocent, he seems to take rolling very seriously. so this is what we do 2 hours a day, or 2 months. the wooden boat is incredibly heavy. we can only get it out of the water if everyone helps. they used to go wailing in similar boats explains john roy, he's a team and grew up in the village of good to he works in a small museum nearby and we arrange to meet face. see you again, you do everything okay. yeah. yeah. he shows me the room most popular with tourists, the one with the exhibitions about the whaling. this is my station from where when

we get bigger groups. oh, okay. and what are these? these are for waiting, right? these are, these were the overalls, my, me, those bish and the way of living was heavy. yeah. now we use the hook, so they are hooked in the level and then there's a rope. they get full of and then this one, this is the. yeah. that to use for killing doing it this very simple. it's very, it's way more humane than the nice me what makes it more humane? when you get to the right spot, this goes into the brain exit ecos. very deep. so you'll see 4 quick death. yeah, it's about 2 seconds. mm hm. one or 2 seconds. so it's very quick and you don't have the license you have right now. do you want to do it? yeah. why that, that them just because some people listen to the

shepherd or the outside world. and then the other half, which is very stubborn. i think i'm a part of the house. i hope the position lives on a couple of dish. it doesn't say that it doesn't. we ask john roy, if we can meet his family. his mother doesn't want to be filmed, but he's father john and his oldest sister. laura agreed. the john even cooks for us. well, meat and potatoes, the looks. genesis one of our short to songs got very mouth and, and ok. i'm touched by the hospitality,

but i've also read that the meat is full of toxic substances. i still want to try it to understand why it's so important to them. it's really like beef. it's a bit and i think, yeah, i'm surprised. how do you want me to know? because before i go 10 years back tooth actually, i don't want to change. i don't know which of the vin reports that are in the way. me now some medically or you can find that great the, there's a guy you under your think about it and i think it's just interesting. it's about it. how do you think about it now?

people have tired older than 10 years old. i don't see the problem. it is one type of so this should be the problem. mm. so how dangerous he is? well, me, at least one person on the faro islands says it should have been off the menu for a long time. to south pole by hay is something of a medical luminary here. he's discovered that while mate is toxic because it's full mercury, so much so that he's even detected it in breast milk. so what is the difference between a private way lead me to a medically concentration will be $100.00 times lower $100.00 times a year. that's

a big difference. the muscles and fast as pilot whales contains lots of mercury and of the toxins, because the animals are at the top of the food chain where it accumulates, poll says eating, it is particularly dangerous for pregnant women. they post the poisons onto their unborn children. paul and his team has been studying the contamination extensively since the 1980s. and what could happen with the highest colors of mockery. it'd be see it on the, on the certificate, the ones that the highly expos group. i'm not doing as well. is there a development assess and that way so you can not go out there then for all you are highly exposed because you haven't really years or something. some research is suspect eating too much, well may contribute parkinson's disease. i will meet once, cool, very often when he was young. can you tell the difference? let's do a test. as a homestyle has worked with pull for years, all she needs is

a few is. so i assume you stopped a thing where me long time ago as i told you with the on my side there's a spring, i'm really curious to see the results of the mercury test. kind of, i'm already starting to think about what i have a late leaving was side over 75 inches high, low. i have no idea. it's slow. it's slow. i have is a double of yours. that will be quite know more of a refund. what, what is the highest, do you have a message for faulty? oh, wow. okay. do site to be. so we talk to them, people, we advice them gently if there's a will. some of the high end expos, people don't want to be advised. who's the institute as

well, and everyone against eating, while mates and fat. but we soon see is woods have had a little effect on wailing on the federal islands. the 1st. we were just sitting in the breakfast and got a cold, but they'll be a grand a drug, a well slow to today. so i don't know yet whether it's a false alarm, but we're trying to get there as quickly as possible. is snape invitation. so that's what is going to be tied because it's at the other end of the island in the fall. i know they've got some, i have to step on it because the ships start to get the tip came from joan roy's family. the one who says to me, well, ghoulish looks like they were right. suddenly i see wayllace boats

the unbelievable. i wouldn't have expected this. you can see it in a is here. right now i can only see loads. it's like a wall coming towards us. the wireless or even allowed to drop everything at work to come down here. the 1st thing is we don't know how they'll react. the wireless don't really like cameras. no idea. what's going to happen is we'll see the animals are still far away. i look for john roy's family and i'm delighted to see him coming straight towards me. hey, john roy. just to meet you. yeah. can you explain what's going on right now? yeah, right now they're driving to wales beach. there is a foreman over on beach nice explaining what each person has to do are you going to

participate? maybe. okay. it's very important that you don't start right. hold on us and stuff like that. yeah. so. okay. i don't think anything will happen to us with john roy and his family by my side. but several people want to know who we are. they all ask, are you again? no, you can say we're balanced and surprised. it's not just wayllace here. men, women, children, everyone is here. the whole village, apparently, of a old joining in john has a wailing license house. that's why he's allowed to take us via the son john roy. he's only allowed to help pull the animals into shallow water. once again, a warning. what's about to happen is not for the faint hostage, the,

the, the man this, so it'd be from one second to the next. i see john roy's father in the crowd. i get the feeling. everyone knows what to do, but i'm paralyzed completely overwhelmed. and i don't know what to do the thing just 3 minutes. 19 pilot whales, the dead, the,

the dent anamosa pulled back into the water and drag to the honda the i've read so much about that. suddenly you'll standing here and fan it happens. it will happen so quickly, it's kind of started and i can't really say what it's done to me yet. it just happened too fast. i think i need more time to process it emotionally. but there's just something deeply take about everything becomes of a message that i find on roy and the crowd again. it didn't go quite so well for him. i don't think anything else

in the legs. what, what happened? i think some of so it was a wireless the okay. okay. i thought all the animals have been killed. the thing i noticed is something i probably went on the boat, but that doesn't happen too often right now. but the waves don't survive alone. that's why we are available this one just the way if he goes find the send me the the did pilot whales. it brought to the hub. i think about how

a moments ago they would just swimming is appalled through the atlantic. and now they're lying dead neatly arranged in the open the door. i've never seen such a large dead animal how many people can live from, from this grandeur you kept today? continue say that how many families? i got to meet 200 families on the list and they, and they want to have a piece of me. i can you understand that some people get annoyed by the picture and they tell you why do you do that? can you understand them? because they cannot cheat the whole picture also. so this is uh

a few years ago. and is it even necessary now? the in the this is one of our few locally. we have to pay those fish cheap. is important. the animals have been slow. everyone can help nobody has to pay for the maintenance that it's free. anyone who helped with the hunt or just happens to be to get something. the

commerce is quite strange. it's like a folk festival. the whole village is here and everyone is waiting for that piece of meat. so she has a distinct smell. these dead animals. they don't smell particularly good. so nobody folded their families little children. i saw small children trying out to nice to the 1st time. i can really get a sense of how they're all growing up around is completely normal for the people who live here, but not for me. for this joan roy, assistant, laura also helps spring the meet hun. the . some of our team struggled with building the wailing, and as it turned out,

it would not be the last time. i still can't quite 100 stand. why so many people here have no problem with wailing despite the 9 health risks? how you doing? that's why i pay elsa. another visit. she collected the hand samples of the research institution. friends. if i was a part of who you think we revisit the topic of mercury in wyoming. so the bad effects are very well known on the satellites. there was a study from 2014 to show that 99 percent of the people who are asked have heard about the advisory for they don't follow the bus. everybody knows what's on everybody, but the young women,

they follow that in place. and because they are the ones who says their to children, the else's friends arrive, most of them don't eat way. a little dolphin made by want to know why i don't need it because it doesn't taste though. and i like the taste of it. but like my husband is like, um, crazy about uh oh really. it's just something in his body. and he also has a bone. so like, yeah, he loves it. i remember some kids i, i'd like to see small moons like there and didn't like it. but, but you can use like every everything else. and then it's just a part of it's just part of the fairways tradition. yeah. most

barrow ways are politically conservative and local politics, a dominated by man. i want to know whether that's effective if for example, politically no one talks about stuffing, filing with it's nothing, no a issue. it's really a help to do it. as a politician, you are against the pilot when you get know what, what, how the impression that maybe the people in their frenzy said that he knows you're saying yeah, maybe not for that. maybe they don't go to been not the women on the islands, hardly 8 well, nice anymore. especially if they want to have children. but most of the men just carry on my thought this would be the end of the film, but things turn out differently. we get would have another hunt, the time i take this guy,

and at 1st we thought we wouldn't get a chance to film this at all. but now we've received our 2nd tip. i think that's because we've gotten to know these people. now we've learned a bit of their trust. they know we want cause trouble when we come to see and feel safe fit. the work is read, they stuff that the roadside is already pretty full when we arrive. something is different. the choice doesn't depend on the beach, but at a small click the little rate this time, luke one is getting away from the wireless. i having trouble catching one of the whales the

they just weren't let it get away. now man of jumping into the open water and trying to somehow get on top of the wild. how do i get time zones? i told us the hunts usually ends quickly. and the 1st one we saw a went really fast. this but this one's getting out of hand. the animal keeps getting away towards it, and it's a real fight to the desk. now, the boat's keeps sending it back towards land. with the wireless a waiting list. he's still alive. this is intense. the fight for life and death goes on for half an hour. right in front of my eyes, dozens of young men is standing in the cold war, so they just don't want to let the way of god just as they don't want to let go of the tradition. something i've really learned during this trip to the pharaoh islands the. i've also learned something about

myself. i couldn't hunt and kill pilot whales. could you the 3 found that vehicle and then what about the key point 6 times. more likely to have a voice in the lung functions as compared to mid air pollution. the biggest health problems for everyone working out tools in denny bus or ran. this is increasing and there is no drive for more protection and less pollution eco india. in 30 minutes on d, w, this the shadows of just these pod costs and video shed light on the dog is

devastating. colonial har is infected by germany across and he employed the schools, tactic farms and destroyed lights. what is the legacy of this one and spread races, depression? today? the screen we need to talk about here, the stories, shadows of german colonialism, old friends, mean friends, and nature defend itself in case of an emergency. we cannot guarantee that we could protect munich, frankfurt, berlin, santa, faced with rushes for or against ukraine, the roads. grace's military alliance shows weakness can nato offer its members suspicion protection? european security basic kinds depends on 90 percent on the us basically attacked

what the millions really close round out to call nature starts april fools on dw, the . this is the, the, the news, and these are the top stories, israel's time and this, the benjamin netanyahu has cancelled a visit to the us, find is really delegation. it comes off of us, decided not to veto a united nations resolution. quoting for an immediate sci fi and gaza washington's last 3 previous resolutions. the un security council measure passed unanimously with the us upstanding russian president vladimir putin has said for the 1st time that logical is.
