discovered the remains was sold in paris for about 6 times the initial estimate, a laceration in the skulls, suggested dinosaur died in a fight as is being acquired by an american collector. and that individual is absolutely thrill with the idea of being able to bring a piece like this to his personal years. ah, it's a piece that we saw and initially fell in love with it. the history behind this an beecher ation of it is absolutely impressive. so to be able to be a part of preserving something of this nature that was actually found, the u. s. in south dakota is also something extremely special ah, is out there and these are the top stories. protests are taking place in haiti over is deteriorating security situation. gang violence demonstrates has been ties and

blocked roads and the leader of the haitian gang accused of kidnapping 16 americans of one canadian has threatened to kill them if a ransom is paid. manuel to follow has more from puerto prince. that video posted on social media by the gang of $400.00 mobile zal, which is the criminal game responsible for the kidnapping. now in that video, that was published on thursday, it appears to be a funeral of one of the members of the or of the criminal organization that was shot killed by police. in that video, the leader of the gang addresses arial on re the prime minister of of haiti, specifically saying that, saying that quote, you have made me cry, tears, i will make you cry blood. now the leader of the gang also said that quote, he's willing to put a bullet in the heads of the 17 hostages. if his demands are not met those demands, of course, being $70000000.00. in exchange for the 17 hostages, tens of thousands of joined rival demonstrations in sudan as tensions grow over his

the world is warming, and green lands ice sheet is melting, which is changing everything from sea levels to the way people live. and now even exposing the remnants of a cold war pulse greenland, the melting of the frozen north on al jazeera ah . in to cope with our growing population, we have tripled our exploitation of natural resources in just 40 years. as a result of the vast expansion of mining, industrial scale, farming, fishing, and other human activities,

natural ecosystems have lost nearly half the area and 1000000 plant and animal species, a facing extinction. without the ecological networks which regulate our planets from cleaning air and water to providing food, we simply cannot survive. but there is still time we meet the pioneers striving to protect 2 of our most valuable remaining ecosystems. roberta, sweden, where an inventive clothing company is using groundbreaking technology to fight deforestation, and i'm a man to borrow in tacky where one man is fighting to protect a wetlands haven for migrating beds. ah, the fashion industry worth $1.00 trillion dollars. every year a tech found manufacturers made millions of garlands might only be worn once or

twice before ending up in land. the so called fast fashion is incredibly resource intensive, and perhaps surprisingly, one of the key drivers of biodiversity laws and deforestation. i'm in sweden where one company is working on a green solution to this global problem. but 1st, i want to understand the impact fast fashion. so just 20 kilometers, i'd say stockholm is the primeval forest of forest that we're on our way there to meet the call, right? she's a conservationist and she's on a mission to protect ange. it's around the world. oh, it's great to see you. thanks so much. we come to stock on to do a story about fashion, what i have written for it. so there's a $150000000.00 trees that disappear every year into the clothing that we all wear . it slated and double within the next decade. i have never heard of that

connection between between fashion and 4 street. yeah. well, it's not an insured if like that something that soft and silky next can actually it starts off as a tree. many of these trees come from endangered forests, thousands of years old, known as primary forests around the world, 50 percent hold ready be lost due to human impacts such as logging. nicole runs canopy, an organization dedicated to protecting those that remain a complete breakdown of the ecological function of that area is a massive release of carbon in the atmosphere. disrupts species have attacks, even though trees can grow back insulin in danger, far, sir replaceable. after the forest to clear the wood is pulped, and processed into fabrics called re on and viscous. but shockingly wasteful. as much as 70 percent of the harvested food is dumped or incinerated,

just 50 percent in so kinda gone. so we're kind of people worked with businesses that source from primary forests to find the green alternatives. one of their main focus points is the global fashion industry. what's your strategy? how are you going to make a difference in this? my experience is that it's some of these big global brands. they have the ability to actually engage their suppliers, to stop them from logging in ancient and endangered forest ecosystems. and if we can redirect it to be more sustainable now, using recycled fabrics rather than ending up in landfill and for the current capacity that's already in production, let's just make sure it's not coming from really important ancient endangered parsed regents. i like that. so you're talking about a kind of a 2 pronged approach. one is the kind of conservation and stopping that deforestation the 1st place. and the 2nd one is this recycling element. so reusing

what's already been produced. so that's a big priority for canopy is to really help kick stack commercial scale production on face next generation solutions. mike recycle. clothing being used. i've got a confession to make that figure, thermal aha, because those terrify, we're going to freeze and i live to the label. and the way here is that there is 3 per cent. this good. there were yeah, i wouldn't feel bad. i as you, i was surprised when i 1st discovered the link between ancient and endangered farce and viscous blue can appear helping to transform the fashion industry. one of their partners is a recycling company in the town of christian. hm. cold renew. so they've invented a pioneering technology, the promises to transform text o manufacturing. it came of age in 2014. when a catwalk model dawned, a yellow dress made from 100 percent chemically recycled fabrics. the 1st time

c e o mathias johnson is offered to show me how it all works. so it's right at the beginning. yes, this is a post consumer. this is, this is jean blue jeans. that people have a wear and tear, and they have this both all the worth next for this it goes into our frederick and that it, but it broke and dry estate where we separate any metal. and then it goes into what state with this whole, but didn't this laurie that we would pick out some of the color we bleach it a bit. and then we're dry it. what would be happening to this cell if you guys weren't using your process, most of it would be a landfill or a bar. we're good from evil or from you guys. i think if we don't read in the machine, i don't know that the breakdown every stage of the process has been carefully considered. the dies and chemicals are all recyclable. and the water is reuse to. after the drawing process,

the fabric is pressed and packed into paper like sheets, the pricing and the quickness video product. this is a fall. and if it contains a lot of federal loads and really good stuff for making piper. this is the raw material from which the viscous fabric is finally made to read. you can print it like a normal fiber, then you've got to be woven into any i took voted. or we go here. this is a famous yellow dress. this is the world's 1st chemically recycled piece of garment . wow. oh, this made from blue jeans? no, that's why same stuff. it doesn't look like a worthy environmentally friendly garmin. this looks like any other garmin you would see in the high street. absolutely. and that's why we're not necessarily call this recycling, we call it upside,

but i'm inspired by what new cell are hoping to open. another suite plans within the next 5 years, manufacturers are taking steps towards reducing that pressure on primary forest for all this to make a real difference in these to be demand. and that demand starts here on the high street. were you aware that there is a connection between the fashion industry and deforestation actually do nothing to both. you know what viscous is? yeah. it's a synthetic material, right? organic material. do you know where it comes from? no idea. are you aware of this connection between the fashion industry and deforestation? no, i had no idea judging by these shoppers, this some way to go before awareness will drive demand. when nicole's organization can be a working to bring suppliers like when you so together with brands,

can stock their product, big fashion brands, they are driving a lot the, the problems that we're seeing how to address. that sure seems to be a bit of a disconnect. the clothing touches all of our lives on a daily basis. it produces a 100000000000 gallons every year. it hasn't been footprint, and maggie comp not have that big footprint when you're that there. and it's exactly because of that reason that we need them to be part of the solution. so it's fun to be here. i think on, on high straightened in between 2 of canopies brand partners, can powell and h an m, who are part of the 170 plus brands that we're working with in the fashion sector to transform the discuss around supply chain. so you said you'd be working with a to them. yeah, we see some of the stuff you've been working on. yeah, absolutely. let's go inside and have a look. canopy success is growing all the time because hope is soon, every store will store research clothing. so this is a rack of clothing that has

a variety of different environmental qualities. this product here, really interesting, as far as he can tell, just a pair of denim, james says, cut 20 percent recycled cotton renew. so we saw them producing a kind of a feedstock, which is 100 percent recycle court. and you think we're going to get to that point . i do. and i think, you know, in the short term this is what's available today. and renew cell is hopefully next season clothing so that this moves from having 20 percent recycled cotton to 100 percent. recycle h t. m. recently partnered with renew. so the support of continuing research. this is part of the clothing joint pledge to use 100 percent sustainably source clothing by 2030, which would be priced. the same cost is non sustainable items. and in store customers are encouraged to drop off unwarranted garments to be recycled by companies like when you sell. so i'm curious to see if there's anything in here,

if that's the end of the look at that. it can be any quotes that can be any brands clothing. we have been working with big global retailers and designers on ensuring that this recycling program actually continues to increase so that it gets fed back into the calling supply chain and ultimately becomes next seasons fashion. for literally kind of closing the loop on it, that's where we want to get that. that's where we want to get to me. it's got the link between the fashion industry and deforestation. shocking, i think with organizations like canopy and renew. so raising awareness there is hope in the future, it must have changed, but i think in the public with the great information, they'll be able to demand more from the retailers. and then we might see a precious boyd not being the victims of

ecosystems are just like the systems of the body as long as they are looked after and managed well, then the body is in good shape. and if they're mismanaged and not care for the body, could potentially die. ecosystem collapse is a can to organ failure in our own bodies. if enough, of the organs that make up the terrestrial body are removed or are made sick, the body dies. the, again, the earth is no different. each of us has a role to play. and fixing this problem. we could have a world that is beautiful and vital, and alive, or one that is quite bleak and quite brutal. it's directly related to what me choose to do whether or not we actually choose to do the work necessary to

mend and repair and rehabilitate our ecosystems or to participate in their deaf wetlands. some of the richest habitats on the planet, in this remote corner of ne and tacky, is one which is proving to be an ecological gem. conservationists of any recently realize it's vital importance. not only for local pads, but also for those migrating from all over the world. and yet the iris with the wetlands is under threats. i've come here to meet a man who's hoping to save this remarkable part of the world. chan, shaquille alone is a world renowned own authentic se, let's say to come to a professor in the united states every year, chandra, time to homeland attacking and comes to this iris part of the country. what draws

them here is a 5 kilometer squared pocket of land, the iris river wet plans. john came across it in 2005 and was looking just playing with google earth. and i thought this looks like a globally important osis and critical spot for migration breeding and wintering, birds. and it's compet different coming here in person. and i thought this is it. this is a place where i wanna do long term research to really understand what birds use this area. this rare, wet land, situated in a dry sub desert region is created when the iris river floods. it's ideally located for migrating birds out of 35 global hot spots. we're at the intersection of not one, but 23 of the eight's worlds global bird migration flyers that intersect right where we are in north eastern turkey. it is one of the most special wetlands on the planet. you can face, he discovered a treasure child. how did he fail?

it was so exciting and it was so beautiful. i mean, i really did not expect. after 15 years we would have recorded almost 300 bird species as 2 thirds of the antar, even far off the whole country, recorded over centuries. i mean, in this one spot of the 290 bad species or eva phone, i documented 1021 a globally threatened or near threatened including rejection voucher and the carrier. but further danger is looming. the government wants to damn this and tar valley. as for us, that village over there, flood this whole place. all this would be under 45 meters of water. and every season i come here to seeing it. still there is like a relief because i am always afraid ill all be gone. i have to come here and see it for myself.

early the next morning chant takes me to the birds ringing station down in the wetlands. is currently fighting in the course to reverse the government's decision to bill to the dam. he hopes de, together here will prove the wetlands rich by diversity. and thereby in sure it's protection. we see everything here from minus 10 to are plus 40 santa, great, and the shade king. very cold here, or very all at minus 10 degrees today. exactly. to get invited. yeah. they learn is he or not something? oh yeah we, we do, we owe, this is turkey inside the team already heart at work on ng raising. the said they to in the 1st is tiny way. can i touch myself with this guy? know if you got out with coat amongst the 600 meters, the glad nets that surround the station. every hour from sunrise to sunset during spring and autumn migration seasons, the net to checked to see if any birds flown into them. please call and check the

raptor. no, there's nothing there. so we go back. that's my great to find condition favorable for living and breathing. it's early in the season here. so bird numbers are low, but there are some beautiful specimens. so we got our birds. ok. and the net what this, this i'm over go to the collector. yeah, they hit the net slide into a pocket and then get entangled. some of the bad coats here heflin pertains nonstop and my great for hundreds or thousands of kilometer initially or to be able to survive. germany is one thing. they owe me fat as their fuel right before migration . some birds will double their body mass and that's why please like us are so critical because they did these stop over locations to keep eating and to keep replenishing their fuel reserves. now that i'm down in the valley, i can get a sense of why they don't care because it's warmer than just

a bit higher up. there's water everywhere, bits of foliage coming out. and the thing that you can't see on camera is that there's actually a lot insect say it says the huge amounts of food to be got here by migrating about one and 8 bird species are facing global extinction due to perils including habitat loss and pollution. so it's only increasing the importance of an oasis like this these days if you're studying by diversity, it's almost impossible not to become an activist because you know you are study things that are being destroyed every moment you study them one roman remy, this is a spanish ornithologist, when a 400 volunteers from 33 countries who have come to work here since chance, set up the station in 2005, now we got the birds from them is that it will go to the station within them think so, mr. mintz on right on the back to the golf is bed was born definitely last year. and this is the 1st spring negation for this bird that away since i even

when it's just one year. oh it know is instinctively where it has to go. as incredible natural signs, including changing day lengths, trigger the birds hormone switch, switch on the urge to travel all the information gathered here. it's sent to a central database at chance university in utah. let them look very awkward on and left tournaments you that make them cookies. little parmesan, chums, oversight and some other tricky of that of your 6 or thought of the little muscle, the hydro roller notice and we'll talk. yeah. and under the cookie sheet, the small, good southcourt free on the for these were some very condition on the other one by blowing on the birds chest. one can tell it's fat levels. if the skin is pink, they are low. and if yellow, the bird is plump enough to travel on simple now,

just for slights and to think that this bird has come from little thousands of kilometers from, from, from the start of its journey in africa said it's, it just extorting because it's so tiny. and often what the less oh, but for every individual with a couple of feathers, i'm bored to the law. oh, you can feel its heart facing is tiny little hurt. one for the data has been gathered, the birds can be released to go or doesn't want to go over 14 years, the team have ringed around a 108000 birds. when they are caught us, where research is, can contact the station here, and their migration can be tracked. i feel like i've learned so much about why this place is so important as a refueling station for, for those birds which are travelling across the world on their journeys. and being

here with the team. witnessing that passion and their commitment to the cause has really brought home to me just how important is play says. but 16 kilometer thought the road is a reminder that despite its important the fate of the iris river wetlands, it's far from secure. this is why i want to bring you here just to see what happens when you build a dam on the, our us river. could birds not live here? i scan already. and there is basically nothing. i mean, there's a couple things on the arid cliff, but where are the wet lambert's? nothing on the shoreline? no waiters on the mud flaps about a decade after this is built, there is no revision station, hardly anything has come back. and remember at our us, it's the flood plain of the river that's creating all those wetlands. and because here by design,

there will not be any flooding. you're not going to have that rich soil and all the vegetation that grows on the whole earth valley will look like this. it logically dead as you where you go around the well does that fine balance between development and nature? and of course, progress has to be made, what's needed solutions that benefit both population and the natural world. child has some reason to feel hopeful and its efforts to win protective status for the iris river wetlands in 2009 with data provided by him and his team lake future. 70 kilometers north of iris was designated around wetland getting it into national recognition as being a global important i can see hundreds, hundreds running. yeah. can i get it out to the train them and there are some ducks in there. these critical lakes are dwindling and going out one by one. so could you

because one of the last and most important lakes in the entire northeast in turkey, which run status doesn't mean the lake driving direct impacts such as draining it for irrigation and hunting dog. indirect threats remain groundwater extraction, 3 need by wealth, it's reducing the lake water level. animals still grazed the reed beds in september 2018. the lake dried up completely, was just block dry mud during the season. when it is the most important for birds, there was no water and no birds. the chance a, it's a ramps are site and declare victory and walk away. i mean, car solution is a never ending battle, like as long as there are places there, you have to make sure it stays. john is working on a number of fronts to save the lake and has just signed an agreement to protect it with a provincial governor. meanwhile,

his struggle to prevent the dam from being built on the iris river. wetlands continues just coming here regularly. a year after year with eyes me the importance of the work we're doing and you and if i lose, i'll have it on my conscience. i'll know i have done my best and i did a just turn my back and gave up. it is estimated was around half the world's wetlands disappeared in the past century. puget lake and the iris river wetlands have chant champion them, but his global development continues to pace. more wetlands in other parts of the world are going to need a local hero to fight that corner. across the globe, ecosystems are falling victim to human exploitation. one possible way of ensuring their protection is to enshrine their right to defend themselves in law. and the us in the 19 seventy's, a legal scholar called christopher stone,

proposed that nature should be seen as a living entity with the same legal rights as people edwards, through human representatives, be able to stand up in court and defend itself against threats to its well being since then, the idea has been gaining traction in 2008 ecuador, wrote it in its constitution, becoming the 1st country to give nature the legal rights to exist and flourish. and in 2017 new zealand bad largest river, the flank annuity was given legal status after mary tried, fought for its rights to be preserved. the way forward isn't simple for the future of conservation may lie in assuring nature has recalls to justice. busy busy busy busy global food production is wasteful and straining our planet. but pioneers are adapting with new food sources.

jellyfish is delicious with a very light sea food taste and texture seminar tele married, and innovative production techniques. and i've seen a vertical farm before, but never in a restaurant after say, this is great. earth rise feeding the billions on a jessina ah from the for villas of correct us. so the battle fields around wilson, our job is to get to the truth and empower people through knowledge compelling. we keeping our distance because it's actually quite dangerous. ambulances continue to
