trying to do now is to concert the, the rest of the like minded, around the world of whom there are a great many to make sure that we don't prematurely bilaterally recognize a new government in kabul without forming a common view and setting at the same conditions about how that government should be. yes, not just about terrorism. it's about human rights. many of the things prime minister there are perhaps thousands of british nationals in afghanistan, most americans and then begin the withdrawal before cheese day. you relying on commercial aircraft to get many of them out. that's not going to happen. how you get to speed up and have you got a time commitment. and can you say how many people are that? i can certainly say as sand that we, we've already got a large number of afghan national that we're working very fast all the, the u. k. nationals on all the counselor cases. and that they're coming forward in,
7:31 pm
in, in numbers at the moment. but i do appeal to, to those who have yet to make themselves known to us at the airport to, to come forward. but we certainly have the, the means that the moment to get them, i just question of making sure they're able to do it. the next few days that you are that content in terms of a hostage situation where the taliban keep them in afghanistan, the states could escalate really quickly when it comes to british people in afghanistan. i think the teams that we've got on the ground there in, in cobbler i have it because i international i for doing not standing job in pretty difficult circumstances is clearly a change of regime now happening in afghanistan. that has implications for the u. k . presence of the platform that we've had that for some years. but dave, to get someone all up, well, you know, the, the u. k. presence has been very, very substantially reduce since, since 2014 the numbers of
7:32 pm
u. k. national zara. and not enormous. and of course, the vast bulk of the, the embassy staff, the, and the officials that we have in this thing that the u. k. prime minister, boris johnson. he was speaking just a short while ago speaking after a cobra meeting to discuss the situation in afghanistan. johnson saying that the priority is very much getting u. k. national arts also is thing interest and the that will be a prime mature, bilateral recognition of a taliban governments are still waiting to see how the lands lie. is there this coming after you've spoken with nature general against oldenburg name? it is confirmed that nato is working to keep the capital airport open to stay with us here. and i'll just sarah more news after 11 east. ah ah
7:33 pm
ah ah, you feeling good watches, paradise ah, it's taking country side of the calculus variety of feathered creatures. centrally you don't have to be up to love that can be quite as spiritual to come in here and just to sit and be quiet into listen. but this south pacific nation has one of the worst extinction records we have last about
7:34 pm
a 3rd of every spaces and the decline is still ongoing. if we let it roll for another 50 years, they won't be much left to restore. raxon other interviews present to destination the nation bird population. ah, now g zealand is leading the world with an extraordinary goal to bypass the countries worth pissed by 2050. this is marvelous, this is a good start to the size. i want. i want a travel to new zealand to see the battle, to save the country's unique bird life. ah, [000:00:00;00] ah,
7:35 pm
now taranaki. when lies over the majestic forms of new zealand, you'll find me beneath the volcanic pate, a team of conservation. indeed inter rosa combe scenic reserves. the hunting for a native bird that is a symbol of museum. the key we are more than 2016 beds in this reserve, hopefully get our hands on. the bird will then be released into an area where can we population have been destroy? local ranger, chris don, is a master at searching for the small flight. was bird in its scrubby healy habitat. how long does it take you to find some of a bed can range from 20 minutes to for our full out. look, turtle bird has a tracker on us. but it's still
7:36 pm
a tricky endeavour to find her. every day, this foreigner of the forest floor moves to a variety of different tree, hollows and holes. that's going to be the radio transmitter picked up. the shy key weight is about 400 meters away. so sir, how would, how would i know if i heard one? there were good long whistles. i had actually got one my phone which makes it oh, of lot easier. i didn't testify about and i called about 15 times. the female is more of a worse in response. quite
7:37 pm
a pleasant sound. we go off track to find the key we really want but there's a huge brain, an hour. it goes by the sunny setting and the efforts to move the bird from the tree after you saw, we had a really, really good climate. lapointe in thought, i'd say, we'll come back tomorrow morning and, and hopefully found a new new spots in our morning. ah ah, you're healed to come early next morning, we tried the key, we did the higher rock the terrain. i hope he closing. hopefully,
7:38 pm
i literally stumble along. ah, but no one said touching a key be would be easy. ah, to jeff and kind of got a good idea about his invitation. it's to be full and long. finally, after 2 days of searching success, we made our 1st key. when i today to key we've been quote for both to a code read special release the
7:39 pm
in the 230 to protect endangered birds with an eye kilometer perimeter defense that keeps pests out. ah, geographically isolated for 85000000 years. new zealand birds evolved as ground dwelling creatures, predator free. wo i have been settlement time pick like rats the prey upon the birds eggs and chicks. it's interesting, i'm really important taffy's sightseeing new zealand pick of mammals are native. a lot of their native bird species have no no real defense is against the newly introduced spaces i. she percent museum and bird spaces are endangered or at risk, including the k. we vulnerable to pests who kill an estimated $26000000.00
7:40 pm
birds every year. key we living in the wild, 80 targets because they don't fly and have a strong odor easily detected by predators. very easy mail for a start. so k, we in the wild have just a 5 percent chance of i will form from hatching code to becoming a not okay. me the goal of rosa korea to raise key ways to an adult size. so they have a fighting chance when released into unprotected wilderness. so came, it weighs about one half kilograms is seen as being, as i can look after itself, against some of the main predators to says people arrived in new zealand more than 700 years ago. half of the nation, birds bases have become extinct. to stop the 3rd, the decline t we and other spaces a carefully managed intense reserve and conservation projects across the country.
7:41 pm
it's almost like falling away. so you're moving from, from where we've got that are in really well into other areas, math hope in the future. they'll be able to continue turn while i'm waiting in the forests around mount taranaki, a sacred land for the countries indigenous communities. not only did she call it before leaving roto cody a maori elder, blesses the 2 key ways as they move from one tribes land to another. to rise in a new home egmont national park, where they welcome bye custodians of the land. few we have arrived safely and so we're going to do a bit of
7:42 pm
a show and tell me good birds. we'll join 14 of the key we released he in the last month. it's a vital step in saving wald, k. we, which we're almost walked out across this region 2 decades ago. moldy leader, jamie tusa, says the bird hold great significance to indigenous people. we are the mountain, the mountain is up. and so we have a response validity to ensure that the health and wellbeing of l environment is in the center of everything we do being able to return the key we back to this place is important. i want the forest to be alive. so i want to hear bit song again, i want my grandchildren, my great grandchildren, to experience boots song ah, across new school children learn how to build louis to trap pick the que wildlife. and you know, how many customers you quote, some are 30 shooting and i hate. yup. but we're saying on the camera,
7:43 pm
my name i from the coast to the i bomb, to the farm. ah, trip. and now we're defining feature of new dining landscape. ah, more than 5000 registered community, good conduct, pest control across the country. ah, including the end of the club, we check trapped in the range of around new zealand. capital. wellington, today we're doing a standard run through the traps with 130 table into you with a conservation group, cold capital k we on the road with one of the 4 wheel drive enthusiasm, berry, in scripts and its going straight.
7:44 pm
ah, friday, i know something i got another one on the bite as even being tapped off because that a good or a bad thing with a diminished population. it has to be good. it's encouraging to see after 2 years. most traps are empty and under the dropping. but i mean tree by barry tool. barry, barbecue tongues, i normally 12 sausages with how big is going to be picking up if you haven't tried falling at her and i'll read or have jobs of attract the same, but it's not a good choice of our lives. me based 100 masons
7:45 pm
a be with eggs or rabbit guts of the la trap in wilderness between dead and left behind. no, no news or anything like that. just just keep but show me how these killing machines work. that animal comes in with flu or on the fat. and you really for this. oh my goodness, what was i keep your fingers well a lot. yeah. i don't think i would survive on the journey as soon as we strike goals trip number 5. holy hey, what exactly does that start? all right. school. love it. so it's good to get this one. definitely start that size. that would be yankee rejects. how satisfying it to get a start in a trap?
7:46 pm
that really is. that's another step in the right direction. ah, 5 years ago it's easy to introduce a groundbreaking policy to why that whole raft halston to go by 2050 trapping and volunteer group play a role in saving a variety of critically endangered birds. being more than $200000000.00 has be invested into these government programs that brings together businesses, schools, universities, conservation, and farm. i think it is the 1st country that's doing it on such a wide vices that have a, have a go up saving, you know, considering something that so it's visual, it's a real big hero. i should go. kaycie moon is elidah at print of free 2050, limited, a chargeable company established by the government to carry out the mission. a former president of
7:47 pm
a farm as association. she said piss also harm farm because they can infect capital with tuberculosis. controlling the disease cost, the taxpayers $42000000.00 a year. so predator eradication is good for the economy, not just the grades k. he says they can achieve the goal by 2050 with reiser investment in scientific research. next, going to be the k, to help and draw up the loss of the credit as there is nowhere else from a planet like this. and we now have the technology, the well and the not here to protect those bases. and we'd be full not to have a guy me in the bedroom. this is the animal resource research
7:48 pm
facility animal behavior is patrick gog studies practices so that the best pick can be developed to walk them out in the wild. this research facility helps him and other scientists observe arrange pissed at all hours of the day and night. like the stars roused from his slumber. the quite noisy being a little defence, if not because it doesn't like to get close to what makes the killing machine and you do. and so there, voracious predators. it's only 350 grams per kilogram of $10.00 to $20.00 times. it's i say, half the eastern part of their body weight every day. i heard somebody jokingly tongue and cheek say before that it starts were 30 kilograms. there be no humans on the planet. i suppose. what make the greg killer is static and climb. it can swim, it can go under water. it can be after day or nice. ah, scientists at the university of canterbury and christ church helping patrick hughes
7:49 pm
smell to strengthen louis. they've built a st library from done to apple and identified odors that draw predators to attract one, they can't resist affair. at stage we discovered hair that 1st order really increases attraction. we've sent out 1st order to 4 different tracking operation, and they increased their capture rates doubled or tripled in many cases. patrick, also psychologically evaluate stokes by testing them in nasas. after studying how they feed, fight and breed, patrick has discovered each stone has a distinct personality and behavior pattern. what we're doing at the moment is seeing how these pass respond to traps. when we tried to cook, the population were quite successful, we always kill more than half the animal. we'd be able to move from population. but
7:50 pm
there always is some individuals left at the end. and now that's what we're focused on to which individuals won't interact with traps, warranty debates. and how do we understanding these individuals? how does that make us better? targeting them? apart from out we seeing smart pit new zealand, the big challenge is wiping out pretty remote wilderness area. the l. bradley's finding ways to eradicate test in tough to rain, only accessible by helicopter is the ceo of 0 in vice president. which i am to watch that pass area 100000 heck is inside. among the glaciers ramparts and rivers of the southern. out. soon after landing at their research station, our shows me the lie of the land rover boundary that
7:51 pm
we use the, the place. and this is the project here on this side, we call this the clean side, and this is the duty side. so the pos and the rock starts there on that side. acting as a natural fin, rivers like this play a big role in innovation project across the valley. yeah. so this is a joint experiment really. if we can prove it here, then we can kind of do it anywhere at $10000.00 and take this teen case by 10 case . we think we can do it at the scale. we'll be able to do it pretty much anywhere on the clean side. zip often drop boys and tell him to kill any living arrow biting gets on the very tough terrain that we just can't move around them. i don't think any of us like using an option, but at the moment their only way of getting to 0 in this really rugged country out here, it's costly and difficult for humans to monitor pest control if it says it's built,
7:52 pm
these artificial cameras that take piss using a thermal and lewis system, $200.00 of them, a being set up in wilderness areas where predators have been eradicated, to stop re invasion. and how does that helping tester by the cation? well, most of the time this camera sees birds sees things we are interested in that occasionally . if we get an occasion, these cameras will be the 1st and the warning system. basically because things like red breed so quickly. we need to know as soon after they arrive, so that we only have to deal with a few rats, rather than hundreds of reds. using such technology ranges can monitor off shore islands and remote wilderness areas from a distance. it keeps an eye while the people on here, and it just means that we can do it a lot cheaper than having people do. lips chicken cameras that generally just got native wildlife on it. this is a camera that hardly needs any servicing. and the batteries in here will probably last us a bass part of nearly
7:53 pm
a year. so far around 10 percent of new zealand mainland has been subject to intensive president control. so such innovations could help ramp up the war on paris. so by moving to this technique will be out of work bigger and bigger chance of new zealand for grand plan is the government. and just place that we should better there printed a freedom by 2015. but that means in about 5 years time, we have to be doing a 1000000 hate days a year. there's 3 main challenges initially we've got to work out how to get to 0. so we call that the removal place. but once we're there, then we're going to be out of the tapes and cation reason really quickly before the animal stopped breathing. and then we've got to do that removal phase again. we, we respond to incursion, little bit like with a, a specialty that's just tasked with removing those few occasions. me the zip projects to succeed. every section of the river needs to act as a strong barrier to help identify weaknesses along the waterway. lip is tracking mice on the dirty side of the river,
7:54 pm
where they've set up automated law dispenses. so this device dispenses a little bit of my eyes that's going to die in it. that when the animals eat the die, they end up with the whiskey tissue marked so that we catch them later. we can identify them in the lab. we had to invent a way of mike in the animals that gave us a long period so that when the eventually cross and eventually we catch them as still but the mocker in this system. so if a rate consumes a little bit of my an ice tonight with diet, 80 days later it will still be on the end of its whisker. ah, these threats make it into the clean areas. there are special traps which quickly get them to death. so the corpse intact, when they sent to the lab for analysis, ah, ah, lipp scientist,
7:55 pm
tom and jenny didn't investigate the history of every rap that he's trust, that we trip in a box is almost like a crime scene for us. so we get the most amount of information out as possible to try and help us plan our next move. skinny is going to give it an autopsy. today we will be able to tell maybe it's come across the river. maybe it's evolved or original talks, operations of the so much information we can get from just one that we're going to have after checking its approximate age. the chain dissect if liver to see the rat consumed any toxic pellets differently female right? she 200 grand female or a big issue for us. they do get into the claim side of our box because they have been breeding team chill. that can cause a huge population explosion pretty quickly. so we can look at the breeding history of female tells us grow interesting information to find out if the rat crossed the river, they remove its whiskers and use ultraviolet microscope to identify if it has chemicals from the mayonnaise. in another room while kept in captivity,
7:56 pm
i used to test new traps and talks while the privilege a loss about apprentices movement. and while the areas being questions linger in the quest to kill all pests. i think one of the most important things that we don't know is how we might be able to suppress printed a breathing. so stop, read will stop starts being able to as a whole lot a whole miles and chemicals that control those processes. and so we may be able to tap into animals biology on that level to, to improve what we are currently doing in a southern out zip has proven it, move predators from large remote cost landscape through such work. our bramley is company that new zealand can lead the world in conservation and pest control is credited a free 2050 achievable. yeah, absolutely. the strong through might in the last couple of years. we absolutely think now we can do it. and now it's a matter of putting the right focus on to finish the job,
7:57 pm
and then we'll move the funding comes in order to scarlet. so pretty a free 2050 is the opportunity to restore the majority of our bought of a city. this is l. opportunities to reset it and enable our wildlife to flush a few hours drive from zip research, thought the aka research lagoon is a, was a bird wonderland. paula sheridan has worked on the lakes as a tour operator. the 15 years she said al bradley's initiatives a desperately needed to bring more bird life back to new zealand. i think it's the make or break this program, it was crucial to go with something begun goals like this. you can't just keep doing a little bit here in a little bit there because the species are just going to start to drop away and will never see them again. these wetlands are a vital feeding ground. the thousands of whiting birds on the south island. it's
7:58 pm
one of those laugh special places every day. i'm amazed every single trip i come out here underneath and i think it's just because it's, it's perhaps a untouched area. ready many birds theses here abominable because they can find to small pockets in new zealand pass take over their habitat. it will be catastrophic. we're really fortunate to have a really intact ecosystem where these birds are still relatively abundant, but it's fragile. there is definitely a silent tag if you will, going on in the bush around us. the dramatic landscapes here are redraw cards, the alpine adventures and nature love it. seeing unique creatures is a huge part of that experience. for those whose dowdy new zealand beauty, the vision to remove all predators by 2050 can't fail. i think new zealand would be
7:59 pm
a very different place without its iconic species and species that you can see anywhere else in the world. and if we start to lose, we start to lose our identities. ah, ah, be the hero, the world needs right now. i was. i news, news, news, news, news. most people will never know what's beyond these doors,
8:00 pm
the deafening silence of 100000 how it feels to touch danger every day. most people will never know what it's like to work with. every breath is precious with fear. it's not an option, but we're not most people the taliban fighters push deeper into the africa and capital capital. there, of course they've taken control of the presidential palace of president connie has left the country soon after assuring citizens of their safety and the face of a taliban takeover. ah,
