just to stay with us. battling against addiction very thing that brought her down now she can teach people how to come back i hope it's hard for me to believe that he's going to get a full time job in radio but i have to be supportive family i have to learn and put my pride aside in just say ok we have got you shoes but we have to speak and health i'm going to keep on working part time this moment feel good hard. on al-jazeera. a team of chinese scientists are traveling to places no human has ever been. in barking on a daring deep sea mission and a hunt for rare resources and news pieces. 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. i think ari ari ari that house which they might turn if they. die i want to head out to start my. journeys doing laps of a chinese research ship in the middle of the indian ocean. the ocean and the shape of engineering in college a lot of all of my classmates. have no chance so god bar the sheep. 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. there in a rice against countries like russia india and japan you know if she gets 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 solid. new animals new plants and of the sea that is can't be a friend before but human but i friended and made me. a name. in my neighbors. there have animal in the word and there me it's jolly and wow it's core that. she's working

alongside ninety five crew members on this ship just four of them when. they're also carrying the job along a three person submersible the can take researches deep under the save than any other machine and. looking for the nation the forms of the walk life ace award where we've my feet come the fall like a week you were being might be coming from that's cool part. of the four women on this mission one of them is a microbiologist dr you will study whatever life forms are brought to the surface plants and animals including tiny microbes known as. they come and go mario are a hi pam fish are unaware of our high a price and they kind you use. basic processor neutron too so i and that's kind of the show where that leaving and that's kind of a compound where the e.q.

out where you are is similar to what was happening you billions of years old gold when there was no live in on earth is six i see me you look for the live well meaning the it is years ago goal or to look for the law of the us me when the company through different or the recess is a. many scientists believe evolution began to shoot. the creatures found may be the most basic answer. students of a minority. and there is one type of habitat in the deep ocean where you expects to find an abundance of them. there's a big here i'll say that it's all kind of life or might be from title what i was all one it's a week where the lad was already making the news yes i'll go and i was in the lead all other girl always are told it was eyes one of. 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 to get the first dive underway. on 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 a 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 are like springs of burning hot water heated by deep sea volcanoes the law of ones will guide us to our

target extinct things like an extinct volcano indeed chimneys have cooled off leaving richland is of mineral deposits for the taking getting too close to a live thing and putting danger the sob and its crew but the rewards of exploring any event are enormous goal kobolds manganese called and other precious metals is a thread in the very quick it's better for us to do a search of the hottest most fluid and to see for ya. other about to say them explore the track invent an area known for underwater volcanic activity. it's near where the antarctic australasian and african tectonic plates make it. even if the day down to track and field. fair 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 and in that time maybe maybe they can. just use my forty dives we only have two professional pilot and. a lot more than that to me and also you know more than into our country so our single is a. responsibility to me even knows that one day soon it will be her turn in the driver's seat for style yes maybe it's the last thing for us. so a little faith. 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 underwater. the crew have enough oxygen and power why to last when taining alex. but lots can go wrong in that 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. we see

a lot so must go grab him so i think that's the area we're looking for. all. only about what the area is teeming with life which means they must be close to hydrothermal vents. aware of any lodging we followed them at a big freeze there that's the area where we have a dog that's the very excitable. at last they spot the veins or. do need to be careful as they move the sob closer to the boiling hot water. when 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 windows. 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. but fernie used to get close to the bed to take a sample of the crust. but there's a problem. that will last that are left to the been the was on the first black smoke. and out of the same time all or right window was was aware america goes to the remains of 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 hate whites. but only one white with a sense that it's a massive. scale fos have been 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 for pushing the south op three thousand maces with white still attached i was rather bothered because of just two or. cannot fail. come on anyone. the sob that barely moves.

and by now they've been under for almost ten al it's. all soon to run out of. but. the sod starts rising it's. finally breaks the surface. when the sob is safely back in its cradle the tamed realizes how lucky they ahd to be alive on the wall coming at one. thirty five but not all of them but what goes through the window more than your head but it was

a bed of the. most dangerous. oh. so dangerous. the vent scorched the sob just sent to meet his from its window very rare a closed door the mounting you always hit america didn't they hit it 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 child the only one and a half years old. father yet i mean daddy that. he's dedicated his life to this job that he loves but it's come at great personal cost. mr manning seems like my first song sister missed the best of my song even made me suffer first two months as an.

d'souza to her if i have a choice of duff less in the future i want to stay with us my son to stay with my. parents food looks forward to the day he's trying to ease will step up and start piloting their own missions it's a fun past that just as well within the earth hour i've been a sow's uncomfortable i lost the strong i tell myself again ok i must do it. is my job. but before you get her a chance to dive he experienced a must try it again. they yet to bring back any samples. so the damage is repaired and excitement builds for the next dive but.

this time biologist doctor is anxious as she waits for dot and say. this guy is eating salad even going nuts at six of them they don't. know this is really the first was that this and the women's more violent and why. you see the snatch all. the live there must be lots to eat it must be worry much different than what we see on that though or we want to laugh what media really is and allow the weirdos. your mad side. sampling microorganisms from hundred fans will give insight into origin of life itself. but they need to get the samples safely to the sun. out of the

rather far out sumant so i feel a little to play sure that's transferring the responsibility for this. use that. i was. so stressed i don't you just say that. the sob is in position. to you is the moment of truth. in. all the way here. it's been three hours it's. been the submersible starts transmission dollars a. big gathering samples from nearly three kilometers below what happened. in the war. the word.

will. come. when they bring the star. ya think straight yes and they are awake the squire the sound was on the scientific away that's probably. also smile it's a which had the whole compound in my feet inside yet it really and it was something i would place the weight of put a sample in the my mouse really well i do it at least. specially designed equipment has carefully preserved live organisms under the same extreme high pressure conditions. as with a leaving the date. i think the face of the ice all of us here oh it's my

little girls and you know we can look at what good it will be is like a very exciting. as it turns out minerals at this low spreading ridge are is rich as predicted making dragon field a prospect for mining. but what's even more valuable is the discovery that many creatures here are different types of crabs snails and worms and more all of them than biologists ever expected and this is a good either this is the only thing known yes it is amazing. and the sad mostly on the buy it has a bit these are appeal to the ara while leveling its low interest they end up in my kill says sample for their own research so we're talking about the same finding new enzymes to come ons that might help with medicine and the other and the about x. after you take them for a long time you've got resistance for the back and about dave's only need to look

for a new form of them were to go play me to the sea. in the middle of the ocean a five week mission can feel more like five. especially for a young chinese like. who i can to now have done the bullet train. was the longest to be seen. and now are part of the ship before you know sometimes now sometimes you have. nothing else by revealed the areas crashed. by. this thing on the whole i can now receive those bills while sitting.

right in patiently chicks who will dive next. she's been told it's her turn to morrow she'll have the chance to experience something few humans ever we. should be going to the bottom of the deep ocean alongside a pilot and a scientist to put all her training into 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 driver. ok. ok.

it's tiny one. of the sphere yes. wow. and you spend ten hours in. the army. when. i go to sleep but maybe only until exciting and i told me. so take house on my new clothes and marrieds in the mirror. and this and well ok i'll do it forced. it's a chinese fact in there that i like kids. to day i become the

training pilot i bring that one day there but they lack the serve guildhall. just. sets for myself you must be strong strong and strong there's no time for me to fing think of think either of course of course afraid alito alito yes to be honest. a little afraid. as dawn breaks the crew is pretty the same. after years of training this is the first time he will be involved in an actual deep sea mission. today she won't be drawn by the tame the testing her ability to cope with extreme conditions from the .

war. you know the cold more than me. is sorry for asked the sofa to fire fast. walks on so we know it's a very snowy lightly but i can see south that any most bling bling bling bling bling me first won't. see in your own eyes. his mari exciting. cancer or any other word. marriage thing yes.

love. wired's. i vonder are a big fish it's a fish it's just a lack of posting this area. may find being alive sometimes the small form of the window and the we can see anything. everything goes to plan and he copes well with the pressure and impresses her crazy on her shipmates awaiting back on board to celebrate. i hope i have a pic filter and have been in. our last hour. there are.

china is leading the global race to explore the date safe from mine but it faces growing competition from other countries. it's truly the last frontier. and china hopes their discoveries will benefit the whole. chinese authorities are putting those they say have committed a crime on t.v. but are they show trials or genuine confessions. one when east investigates. on al-jazeera. the most memorable moments with al-jazeera was when i was on air as hosni mubarak fell with the crowds in tahrir square done talking.

to us if something happens anywhere in the world al-jazeera is in place we're able to cover news like no other news organizations. were able to do it properly. and that is our strength. of face can tell a story without uttering a single one. and knowing glance can guide us. a simple touch inform us. the un convention manity of life witness through the lens of the human nine. is what inspires us. witness documentaries on al-jazeera whether it's cute and cuddly in australia wild and ferocious in bangladesh earthrise redresses the balance between endangered wildlife and then noisy neighbors. that live in the bank or it's right

there and there's nothing between the tiger habitat and human habitat learning to live together on al-jazeera how many people here have seen a tiger but they can go really. hello i'm. with the top stories on al-jazeera fighting is taking place between suspected separatist gunmen and security forces in indian administered kashmir reports say at least three soldiers have been killed in the battle security services say the area is under a cordon with several flight is trapped inside a twenty four hour curfew is currently in force after a suicide bombing killed forty four security personnel on thursday phase jamail has
