the united states remains the worst affected nation. john lewis one of the most influential figures in the american civil rights movement has made a symbolic final journey is coffin was driven across the edmund pettus bridge in selma alabama on the way to his memorial service it's 55 years since lewis led hundreds of black demonstrators across that same bridge was beaten unconscious state police violently broke up the march south korea is marking the anniversary of the armistice that ended the korean war nearly 70 years ago or 3000000 people were killed in the conflict which never saw participants sign a formal peace treaty commemorations are also expected in north korea but as the headlines the news continues here on al-jazeera right after one $101.00 east which is coming up next. the old is there a school is the government taking the necessary action to really address some of the structural issues we listen i still think that travel is the safest mode of
8:33 am
travel and to spend that we meet with global news makers and talk about the stories that matter on the soldiers 0. a team of chinese scientists are traveling to places. as it would be. embarking on a daring deep sea mission in the hunt for rare resistance and new spaces. on this episode of one a one east we go on board some of china's top engineers and scientists as they explore the depths of the indian ocean.
8:34 am
i think ari ari ari the house which today is my turn stay. i want to i asked starlight that. chinese doing laps of a chinese research ship in the middle of the indian ocean. i learned the ocean and the ship engineering in college a lot of all of my classmates. had no chance so darbar the she. had a chance. she's a trainee submersible pilot and she's anxiously awaiting her 1st ever deep sea dive which no woman from china has ever done before. 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
8:35 am
the chance to dive she'll go nearly 3 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 granted before by humans but i read it and it made me. and i. was. there have animal you know words and their music jolly and wow it's cool that. she's working alongside 95 crew members on this ship just 4 of them when. they're also carrying felix long a 3 person submersible that can take researches deep under the sea than any other machine on. looking for the nation the forms of walking
8:36 am
a slow ward where we've my feet come with like a we feel we're being might be coming from that's ward. of the 4 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. they come hand though mario are a high temperature and the are a price and they kind of use more of basic process or nutrient too so i and that's kind of where that leaving and that's carlo compound where that you can you out where you are you see a mirror to what was happening you opinions years old gold when there was no law i've been on earth is 6 i see me you look for the live well me me me me. years ago goal or to look for the law i was us me when the company to different for the recess is a. while many scientists believe evolution began
8:37 am
deep oceans the creatures found out 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 the. bears up big here i'll say that all kinds of life or might be from the height of what fires oh and it's a week where the lad was already making the news in years i'll go and i in the middle other go always with the old one size well 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 to get the 1st dive under way. on samples of marine life down
8:38 am
there. easy and the other trainee pilots want to see how it's really done else it's very hard and the hot of this mission professor tao wants to find hydrothermal vents and chart the size of their mineral deposits is very exciting because this is the 1st for the indian ocean for the chinese and a the 1st time for the balance for us hydrothermal vents like springs of burning hot water heated by deep sea a volcano is the law of ones will guide us to our target extinct things like an extinct volcano mt chimneys have cooled off leaving richland is of mineral deposits for the taking getting too close to a lot. the end put in danger the sob and its crew but the rewards of exploring any event are enormous. kobolds manganese compaq and other precious metals is
8:39 am
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 for the. other 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 1st dive one of only 2 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 and yes i mean that time maybe maybe they can. just use my 40 dives they only have 2 professional pilot and. a
8:40 am
lot more than that to me and also you know what i'm into our country so i assume gains a. responsibility to me even knows that one day soon it will be her turn in the driver's seat for style maybe it's a lost interest. so i laid off it right. finally the ship is in position. the submersible has been checked and food is ready to pilot the 1st i. will be going in 3 kilometers under water. the crew have enough oxygen and now want to last in 10 alex. but lots can go wrong in that time.
8:41 am
it takes over an hour to reach the bottom of the our ship. the deeper the submersible goes the dock cap and colder. dropping to 2 degrees celsius. 4 hours pass with little signs of life. then the tains lead geologist professor tao spotted something. we see a lot so much hope. so i think that's the area we're looking for. all. only metal the area is teeming with life which means they must be close to hydrothermal vents. though we're very lucky we found at the. edge of the big
8:42 am
freeze there that's the area where we have our car that's the very excited. at last they spot the vents or. do need to be careful as they move the sob closer to the boiling hot water. when you'll was for a walk when was very busy very busy. you needed to construct all your and it's. the submersible is built to withstand extreme elements but it has an achilles heel it's window is. the water spewing from a hydrothermal vent can reach 400 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
8:43 am
there's a problem. that will last that are left to the window was on the 1st black smoke. another 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 away. but then not out of danger yet. to get the sobbed. back to the surface they need to drop to 80 wives. but only one white with a sense that's not. a serial fos they're
8:44 am
being left in the ocean. the submersible has 7 directional propeller heads 2 of these are off with rusty but they designed for steering around the ocean floor north for pushing the south up $3000.00 maces with white still attached i was rather bothered because of just. cannot fail. come on anyone. to stop it barely moves. and by now they've been under for almost 10 al it's. all soon to run out of.
8:45 am
the sod stocks rise he says. finally it breaks the surface. when this obvious safely back in its cradle the tape realizes how lucky they ahd to be alive the bombing was 35 but not all of them but what goes through the window more than your head under the bed of the book the most dangerous. oh. so dangerous. event scorch the sob just sent to meet his from its window frederick right close to the mountain so you always get them out there when they hit it by the very very close 3 of them oh oh. oh no food noise how close he came
8:46 am
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 1st song sister just missed the bus if my song even made me so professed to marcescens. d'souza to her if i have a choice to tough less in the fields or how to stay with 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. just one ta stab this is where it enters our
8:47 am
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 doctors and said. this guy is making sound even. at 6 of them.
8:48 am
though this is really the 1st time that this kind of women's violent act of light in you see the search for. the live there must be a story it must be worrying much different than what we see on that show or we want to laugh while media releases and i loud the weirdos. are mad so i'm. the sampling micro-organisms from hard to fans will give insight into origin of life itself. but they need to get the samples syphon to see. out of the crowd of girls and so i feel. pretty sure that's transferring the responsibility. that. i was. so stressed i just saw.
8:49 am
the sob is in position. to you if the moment of truth. was the way he our way. it's been 3 hours it's. been the submersible stops transmitting dollars on. the gathering samples from nearly 3 kilometers below what happened. it 'd worked. her. finger. when they bring mr. ya think straight yes and here we
8:50 am
describe the sad was the scientific away. also smile it's a which kind of will compound in my mind yet it really. godly place. we put this family in the my mouse baby with well 7 i do it at least. specially designed equipment has carefully preserved live organisms under the same extreme high pressure conditions as where they live in the deep. space of the ice. there's about a little girl's and you know we can look at what good it will be as live. 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
8:51 am
creatures here are different types of crabs snails and worms and more all of them than biologists ever expected and this is a good the this is amazing no yes it is amazing. and the sad most on the buy it has will be these are people to do our a while of always self interest the nothing michael uses sample for their own research so we're talking about deep sea 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 the 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 5 week mission can feel more like 5 months. especially
8:52 am
for young trainees like. who up until now have done all their training on land. was the longest being out at sea. and our part of the ship before you are sometimes now but sometimes. the sails are revealed the areas crash. by. the hole. now are forcing. whiting patiently each x. who will dive next. she's been told it's her turn tomorrow she'll have the chance to experience something few humans ever will. she be going to the bottom of the deep ocean
8:53 am
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. is about to become the 1st chinese female to do it. she invites me inside the saab for her final driver. ok. it's to. point. of the spear yeah. wow. and you spend 10 hours you.
8:54 am
go to. may be. just light of the me but maybe alito exciting and i comes to me very soon so take house in my new clothes and buried in the mirror and then. each one of them. and this thing looking are good for. the chinese flag in there. i like. the day i become the training pilot i bring that one day but the lack thereof don't fall. sets for myself you must have a strong strong and strong there's no time for me to think think think either of course of course afraid alito alito yes to be
8:55 am
honest. a little afraid. as dawn breaks the crew is pretty the same. after years of training this is the 1st time he will be involved in an actual deep same mission. today she won't be drawn back to tame the testing her ability to cope with extreme conditions from the. cold more than me. is sorry for us so if we are fast.
8:56 am
walks on so we know it's a serious nor light but i can see south that any most bling bling bling bling bling me 1st won't. see in your eyes. his fiery exciting. cancer or any other word. you think yes i. do love. wired. i'm fond of big fish it's a fish it's just a lack the whole. this area. may find big alive. i'm tired of the small b.s.
8:57 am
the window and the become see anything. everything goes to plan and the copes well with the pressure and impresses her husband her shipmates away some back on board to celebrate the town i hope i will pick future and have been me. cause i was. yes. china is leading the global race to explore the dates they are mine but it faces growing competition from other countries. it's truly the last frontier. and china hopes their discoveries will benefit the whole.
