that incident saudi state media says hooty fighters have killed at least nine saudi soldiers in a renewed cross border offensive and saudi crown prince but haven't been sound man has just arrived in pakistan his first visit to the country since he was appointed to the throne a crown prince will hold talks with pakistani prime minister imran khan and so on a number of investment deals before moving on to india and china a twenty four hour curfew is in force in indian administered kashmir after a suicide bomber killed at least forty security personnel on thursday india's government issued a safety warning for any reports of people being targeted in response to the incident. those are the headlines so it will be back with more news in just under half an hour's time stay with us for one on one east and the story of a daring deep sea mission i've group of chinese scientists thanks so much for watching seeing of it thanks.
7:33 pm
a team of chinese scientists are traveling to places where no human has ever been. in barking on a daring deep sea mission in the hunt for rare resources and new species. i'm steve on this episode a one on one east we go on board with so much china's top engineers and scientists as china explores the depths of the indian ocean.
7:34 pm
i think ari ari ari the house of which they might turn if they. die i long to have to start. chinese doing laps of a chinese race or in the middle of the indian ocean. ocean and the shape of engineering in college a lot of all of my classmates. have no chance so gulbarga the she. has a chance. she's a trainee submersible pilot and she's anxiously awaiting her first ever deep sea dive which no woman from china has ever done before you know she's part of china's mission to be a world leader in these final frontier. they're in a rice against countries like russia india and japan you know if she gets
7:35 pm
the chance to dive she'll go nearly three kilometers under the sea to search for new mineral race horses and signs of life. maybe i can friend a song new alamosa new plants and of the sea that is can't be for granted before by human but i friended and maybe i can give you tonight. my neighbors. there have animal in the word and their music johnny and wow it's cool that. she's working alongside ninety five crew members on this ship just four of them when. they're also carrying fixed john long a three person submersible that can take researches deep under to save than any other machine are. looking for the nation the forms of walking
7:36 pm
a slow ward where we've my feet come to fall like oh we feel we're being might be coming from that's ward. of the four women on this mission one of them is a microbiologist dr who will study whatever life forms are brought to the surface plants and animals including tiny microbes known as ikea. they come hand though mario are a hi pam frazier and the are a price and they kind use those where you face a cow ha says are neutral and two so i and that's kind of the show where that leaving and that's carlo come on where that you can you out where you are see me or to what was happening you like billions of years old gold when there was no live in earth is six i see me you look for the live well me me me this year. goal or to look for the law is us me when the company to different for the recess.
7:37 pm
many scientists believe evolution began deep oceans the creatures found may be the most basic and systems of the mind morning. and there is one type of habitat in the deep ocean where you expects to find an abundance of them. there is a big hero say that all kinds of life form might be from the title what has all one it's a week where the life was already making the news yes i'll go and i know they are the other girl i always had told it was size one off to. the yeah we shoot you make science very exciting which of these exciting this is what i want to do science and i feel exhausted i feel alive i feel myself well i'm too sighs everyone's anxious
7:38 pm
to get the first dive under way you want samples of marine life down there feel. easy and the other trainee pilots want to see how it's really done else it's very hard and at the heart of this mission professor tao wants to find hydrothermal vents and shot the size of their mineral deposits is very exciting because this is the first for the indian ocean for the chinese and the the first time for the balance for us hydrothermal vents like springs of burning hot water heated by date save all kinds the law of ones will guide us to our target extinct things like an extinct volcano mt chimneys have cooled off leaving rich lies of mineral deposits for the taking getting too close to a live in. could endanger the scout and its crew but the rewards of exploring any
7:39 pm
event are enormous. kobolds manganese kaka and other precious metals is a very very quickly it's better for us to to search for the hottest we'll feel good and the loss on the sea floor. on about to see them explore the dragon vent field an area known for underwater volcanic activity. it's near where the antarctic australasian and african tectonic plates me. even if it be down to a dragon feel. the. fear when tao will pilot the first dive one of only two pilots qualified to drive the submersible jour own. he's the expert training young recruits like he. i hope for they will go out forever quickly quickly yes i mean at that time maybe maybe they can.
7:40 pm
just use my forty dives they only have two professional pilot and. a lot more than that to me and also you know what i'm into our country so our single is a. responsibility to me he knows that one day soon it will be her turn in the driver's seat for style yes maybe it's a lost interest. so i made a fair trade. finally the ship is in position. the submersible has been checked and food is ready to pilot the first dive. you'll be going like three kilometers under water. the crew have enough oxygen and power want to live within ten hours. but lots can go wrong in that
7:41 pm
time. it takes over an hour to reach the bottom of the our ship. the deeper the submersible goes the darker and colder. dropping to two degrees celcius. four hours pass with little signs of life. then the tains lead geologist professor tao spotted something. with a lot so much hope shit so i think that's the area where i look for. all. only when the area is teeming with life which means they must be close to
7:42 pm
hydrothermal vents. aware of any lacking of honor the venom at the big freeze there that's the area where the that's the very exciting. at last they spot the vents or. do need to be careful as they move the sob closer to the boiling hot water. where you'll was with a walk when was very busy very busy. you needed to construct all your and which. the submersible is built to withstand extreme elements but it has an achilles heel its window is. the water spewing from a hydrothermal vent can reach four hundred degrees celsius. if they get too close the plexiglass windows would melt and the sub would implode.
7:43 pm
but fernie to get close to the bed to take a sample of its crossed. but there's a problem. that will last that are left to the window was on the first black smoke. and out of the same time all or right window was was aware america goes to the main. the ocean current has pushed the sob over the stream of a vent the window may not withstand the hate adjuster. us into. he manages to move the why. then not out of danger yet. to get the sobbed. back to the surface they need to drop to eighty whites. but only one white with a sense that it's
7:44 pm
a massive problem on. the scale fos may be left in the ocean. the submersible has seven directional propellers two of these are off with rusty but they designed for steering around the ocean floor north of pushing the south op three thousand made his weave white still attached i was rather bothered because i just tore. cannot fail. can go anywhere. the sob daily moves. and by now they've been under for almost ten al it's. soon to run out of.
7:45 pm
the sod stocks rise it's. finally breaks the surface. when the sob is safely back in its cradle the taint realizes how lucky they ahd to be alive on the ball coming up one. thirty five but not all of them but what goes through the window more than your head though that was the bed of the. most dangerous. oh. so dangerous. event scorch the sob just centimeters from its window where it rare it close to the
7:46 pm
mountain you always get them out there in the heat if you're by the very very close three of them oh oh. oh no the food noise how close he came to disaster to die and his thoughts turned to his family back home in china. how he only one and a half years old. yes i mean daddy. he's dedicated his life to this job that he loves but it's come at great personal cost. rule mr manning seems like my first song sister just missed the bus with my song it made me so professed to marcescens . d'souza to her if i have a choice to tough less in the future i hope i have more time to stay with my son to stay with my. parents food looks forward to the day he's trying to ease will step
7:47 pm
up and start piloting their own mission it's. just one task that this is where it enters our idea of those uncomfortable i lost the strong i tell myself again ok i must do it. it's my job. but before you get a chance to dive experienced a must try it again. day yet to bring back any samples. so the damage is repaired and excitement builds for the next dive but. this time biologists. dr is anxious as she waits for diet and says.
7:48 pm
this guy is making salad even looking at six of them they don't eat though this is really the first time that this and the meat women's was invalid and of why . you see the search for. the live there must be a story it must be worrying much different than what we see on the mat or with what the apple media release and allow the weirdos who. are mad so i'm. sampling micro-organisms from hundredth of a fence will give inside origin of life itself. but they need to get the snap insight into the scene. out of the crowd of girls and so i feel. pretty sure as straight as you know a response be to these things i've heard is that. i was.
7:49 pm
so stressed that i don't hear this. the sob is in position. to you is the moment of truth. in. a little bit of the way here. it's been three hours it's. been the submersible starts transmission dollars. the gathering samples from nearly three kilometers below what happened. it worked. or. will. come. when they bring the search here
7:50 pm
ya think straight yes and here we describe the sound was on the scientific away that's probably how soon will also smile it's a witch kind of compound in my feet inside yet it really and you know sometimes we face that we put this sample in the my mouse really really with well i do it at least. specially designed equipment has carefully preserved live organisms under the same extreme high pressure conditions as where they leaving the date. i think the face of the ice all of us here oh it's the eyes of the girls and you know we can look at bauer that woman is like a very excited. as it turns out minerals at this low spreading ridge are is rich as predicted making dragon field
7:51 pm
a prospect for mining. but what's even more valuable is the discovery that many create. is here different types of crabs snails and worms and more all of them than biologists ever expected and this is a good the this is the only thing known yes it is amazing. and the sad mostly on the buy it has a big issue appeal to the ara while the who is self interest the and the who might use this sample for their own research so we're talking about the same finding new enzymes and two compounds that might help with medicine in the other and the about x. after you take them for a long time you'll call it resistance for the back and about ifs the only need to look for a new form of them were to go play me to the sea. in
7:52 pm
the middle of the ocean a five week mission can feel more like five months. especially for young trainees like. who are going to now have done all the training on land. was the longest to be there to see. and now are all part of the same before you are sometimes now but sometimes you have. nothing else by revealed the areas crash. by this thing the whole i can now or see forcing. writing patiently each ex who will dive next. she's been told it's her turn tomorrow should have the chance to experience
7:53 pm
something few humans ever will. should be going to the bottom of the deep ocean alongside a pilot and a scientist to put all her training to action. to put that into perspective there are more people going into space than there are going into the deep ocean and is about to become the first chinese female to do it. she invites me inside the saab for her final drive for. i k. k. it's tiny. back of the sphere yes.
7:54 pm
wow. and you spend ten hours in. i go to our army. of the samee but maybe only in tow exciting and i told me. so take house on my new clothes and buried in the mirror. and this thing well ok i'll do it for. the chinese flag in there. i like kids. the day i become the training pilot i bring that one day there but that's where i'm going to fall. sets for myself you must have a strong strong and strong there's no time for me to think think
7:55 pm
think either of course of course afraid alito alito yes to be honest. a little afraid. as dawn breaks the crew is pretty in the summer. after years of training this is the first time he will be involved in an actual deep sea beach. today she won't be drawn back to tame the testing her ability to cope with extreme conditions but. then told me that he.
7:56 pm
is sorry for lost the software fast. walks on so we know it's a serious nor light but i can see he's out that any most bling bling bling bling bling me first small. c e o i see. his mari exciting. cancer or any other word. everything yes i. do love. wired. i fond her big fish it's a fish it's just a lack the whole. this area. may
7:57 pm
find being alive sometimes the smaller the lives of the window and the we can see anything. everything goes to plan and he copes well with the pressure and impresses her credit on his shipmates awaiting back on board to celebrate. i hope to have up at four. and have been. caught how glad. i. was. a. china is late in the global race to explore the date safe from mine but it faces growing competition from other countries. it's truly the last
7:58 pm
7:59 pm
8:00 pm
have been. testifying to make sure that the bad guys behind us so many people have gone to jail as a result of my work rewind on al-jazeera. that. some people are looking for a stock warning from iran aide says there is a great risk of conflict with israel. fully back to boyer watching al-jazeera live from doha also ahead israel implements a controversial law that penalizes the palestinian authority for supporting the families of jails palestinians the u.s. special representative for
