well to the space station crew, missouri and his production assistant spent 12 days in space full year traveling on a russian sawyers rocket, dirty expected to land in kazakhstan in the coming house right on time. ah, don't forget check on the top stories here now to 0 left is gabriel. burridge has one chilling presidential election, a defeated his rightly opponent jose antonio cast by 11 percent a much bigger margin than was expected. bar, which is promising to be a leader for all, shall, ends in little low. you know, our government has the conviction to look forward at the challenges that we have before us. it cannot be just changed by talking to the mirror. i'm not here to only speak to people who think like me to change the way people who think differently. we are here to ensure that once and for all, that our course is sufficient for all chileans. and we can achieve a wonderful life for you. yeah, i don't them for the lady or,

but i a call today is a day of joy for burridge and i celebrate his success. 60 and i will be there doing what i said i would do for the betterment of chile. you eyes and we will always be a unified country that he, i, our promise is not just a passing one. it is one for our customs and our traditions to live hundreds of thousands of protest as in savannah march towards the presidential palace. it's exactly 3 years since demonstrations began against former leader omar bashir. more than a 100 people have been injured. the death toll from typhoon ryan, the philippines, has risen to at least 200 nate, rescue teams are still searching for missing people in flooded areas. following friday, storm 300000 filipinos were forced from their homes. muslim countries are promising to help avert famine and economic collapse in afghanistan. when as ation of islamic corporation will create a trust to disperse the funds so that some members can avoid dealing directly with

a taliban, it's not known how much money the fund will contain. the conference has agreed and it is. it was required to establish a humanity and trust fund to david greet and we've all agreed to launch a food security program for finest fun 3 week collectively feel that we have to unlock financial and banking channels because the economy cannot function and people cannot be held without backing services. so those were the headlines. the news continues here on al jazeera. after thrives

that you, thanks for watching bye for now. on counting the cost m r n a full letters changing the well, the vaccines, not just the coven, $19.00 big business in place that are thousands of pixel of millions of dollars and non refundable token. we to demystify the world of crypto ot helping to cost on al jazeera. ah ah

well, we'll see in antartica. besides an extraordinary bit, great, the lodge is protected area owner. for this special episode of earth rise, we going on board the greenpeace ice breaker arctic sunrise following one of the biggest campaigns in the environmental organizations, history, witnessing the spectacular, biodiversity, and the many threats to life climate change to a profession. as a team of scientists, photographers and ocean experts set out to prove these voss remote quarters must become an arctic ocean sanctuary. ah ah before i sent off down south and go to find out a little about the journey, i'm about to embark on, tucked away in a maze of old london streets. something quite extraordinary. ever since i was

a boy, i've been mesmerized by tales of the golden age of antarctic exploration of the early 20th century. names of pooler explorers, mike rolled amundson and captain scott, ah, well this is where some of those expeditions came to get there met us. we feel it cause it is good to see. this is a kind of treasure trove of parts exploration coming up turns out mankind has forever been on the concept of a mysterious continent at the end of the world. this map from the 58 is, is the last of the classical worldview. this is the world, as it would be understood by the ancient greeks and romans still got this great terra astrology. non duncan meter, the unknown, the southern land spin forward 3 centuries to the time of men, like captain scott, who died on his return from the south pole. phillip shows me

a sledging that from that expedition. this is what they actually used to place the food, their pose for the attempt on the pole. incredible. here we have in reaching the south pole. and then of course, the terrible trick back, captain scott died him demonstrate how hard it was. then just how challenging it was that a far cry from today. it's why this period is known as the heroic age. they were truly great heroes. up until the 1920s, there were probably less than i should think. 50 or 60 people had actually ever stepped on to the concept of course, now thousands again. every year. like many of the old explorers i 1st had for pointer urena since southern chile. but unlike them,

i'll be flying into antarctica to king george island at the northern tip. harold joined the green p. shit, the arctic sunrise and head into the weddell sea. with luck, we'll reach our target. the 64th parallel which marks the northern edge of the proposed station sanctuary. an internationally supported marine reserve covering 1800000 square kilometers that would be protected from direct human impacts. like fishing, oil drilling and deep sea mining. our times of change immediately. it's clear how connected the outer reaches of the antarctic continent of become. the plane is full of tourists. what was once a grueling journey of months maybe is now can be done in an hour and a half with lunch and of you. i'm with van. happy out like that before friday night. it's a cold, murky arrival. i'm surprised at how many people there are around. dozens are coming

and going to hey we all king george island and daughter can we made and i desolate, blinded only not so remote is more of a transport hub. you can see lots of tours gathered down there, taking ribs out to inflatable boats out to meet the cruise ships for the holidays. i also hear a lot over such stations with a weather closing in, we need to get a move on the hood. over the next 2 weeks, i did. hi stakes. were under way immediately heading to the proposed ocean

sanctuary. there's no time to lose, not just for the arctic sunrise. winter is not far away and the ice will soon close in. but it's also a race against time to protect areas like the way it'll see before it's too late. we'll mccollum. it's a greenpeace campaign leader, which will will be the world's largest take to the area. when i talk to cushion sanctuary in an area of the weddell said to me about 5 times the size of germany. the proposal is already on the table. it's already got the backing of the scientists are saying we need to protect a 3rd of the well motion. at least we want to let fish stops recover if you want to mitigate against them, like climate change and then talk to the right place of interest. 9 months time, and hope all is australia, a decision will be made by the antarctic ocean commission, the international party responsible for the conservation of these waters on whether to accept this factory proposal. the aim of the expedition is to build the case

that it needs to happen. the hours go by and the temperature dropped significantly on the bridge. they're on high alert. we're heading into dangerous waters 10 times to skip a cool raziski. you have what they call burg bits. growler is an iceberg depending on the size, but they can all damage is ship when you're steaming at night. key thing about ice is avoiding it. but now we're going to look for the ice and we will intentionally go in to some of the ice and there is room down here. now i think to push our way through a bit more comfortable, climbs into the crudeness transport leads through the ice. come through the sound which kind of bite lexianne talk defenceless were not in the sea but no. yes, of course we say what a perfect it did get there. we got to get through all this ice. there's

a lot of it around it. we're finding these clear passages trying to, we've all way through the i everyone on board is just willing the ship to make it into the proposed sang tree. the big problem is getting people to realize why they should care about the you know, this is wildlife that most people have never come across will never come across. and so being able to tell us story relies on us getting that and getting the footage back and talking about the importance of race. thank 3. so the fact that they stop will only recover, we put these areas of limits, the fact that climate change will be not as bad if we manage to put large areas of the ocean of them in darkness falls, but there is no rest on the bridge for the captain and the night crew mother ship

floodlights on the bow show the ship now nudged up quietly against the ice. an intentional maneuver for the remainder of the night. but everyone keyed up, slight off ah, the next day at last the arctic sunrise has arrived surrounded by some of the coldest, most diverse waters there are and was all on board. may yet be the largest protected area on the planet. well one i can, you can is very good news made. it made it to 6 sitting there. now there's awesome one other ship and this entire space. and you just go over this side and suddenly start getting sort of tens of, of ships. but cruise line is cargo ships fishing vessels. the moment you get through this sound as us and another ship about that. and that's it in that whole whole area that said slightly scary. yeah. terrify,

exciting as well. but exciting and kind of just makes the case that this is christine, this area is not develop is not call, industry is never had industry sort of area that's kind of most on touch, even within and talk to come i will talk to you in a row i think run of what we're looking at here as well to yes. yeah, it's a great i spoke to the because i don't the glasses sweeping. james ross. i like the weather c expense way it proposed area really about just talk to like you would activity always know scientific research is taking place. it is an incredible site but deeply troubling. 2 glasses have always collapsed and carved into the until to

goshen. however, with global warming that doing so with increasing speed and as the ice sheets retreat, sea levels rise. this right here is humanities problem for decades, perhaps centuries ahead. ah. it is laundry day. i'll knock at sunrise and here's the thing. we will think of being good citizens by wearing fleeces, which it laid out to recycle plastic bottles and sort of thing. but when you wash, the hundreds of thousands of microphone is end up in the world's oceans. so here on board, it will and, and natural governments and horse plastic pollution in our seas is one of the biggest environmental challenges of our time. and the team makes the

most of a rare opportunity for research is that some of the emergence was from a planet. there'll be a point that they, that they can replace. success in the group is conducting experiments, taking samples from the water to see if any market plastic have infiltrated this environment with fibers than by being present. so they're both making somebody fillings of draws with. we certainly hope that i find that this is very remote or just the way to caesar very close droyer's system. and there's very few local sources at micro plastic fibers which are becoming for however, evidence of growing around the world studies that micro plastic fibers are extremely revising and they all be found even very remote location. that's the bizarre thing

be a float on these wild and remote and desolate waters. feel quite exposed. mujica gps a google map and zoomed out would just be a tiny speck in this t awful food device. water. yet beneath the surface of this magnificent desolation is just teeming with life releases. so the remote is water solar and to see what lies below the expedition submarine is launched on board the antarctic specialist susan lock heart. what she sees is a stunning underwater realm composed of all manner of life. life not yet touched by mankind, but enormously at risk, not least from the effects of industrial scale fishing. it has a 100 percent coverage of the seats. all of our organisms has a great 3 d structure which are the organisms to come in and live there and a really interesting species composition. and all these factors make it really

difficult for our community to recover after a dis, debit such as bottom pitching, we call these areas fundable marine ecosystems and the estimated $14000.00 species on the sea bed of hon. not just to fishing, but to other threats like warming see temperatures and plastics, pollution. and that's why the expeditions all round research so important in the bid to protect these waters. all the scientific data will be compiled to form a body of evidence in support of the site tree proposal and present it to the antarctic commission in less than a year's time. but the team needs to find out more about the growing threats. encroaching on the region. we leave the lonely waters of the weddell sea heading back through the antarctic sound. are they shaped by the routine on board? everyone has different ways of filling sparrows from the top practice to running repairs. and of course, cooking for all i was cooking today for the right.

and this 24 bit windows up is the same every day and we share the life we then it is not everybody who has a view like this in their restaurant kitchen for the space. that's why we, i had a later we had for sure, making land full on the south shetland islands near the tip the antarctic peninsula . it's quite a relief to be back on dry land off, but it's been careening around all over the place. and we welcome. hi colin, the 30th pen in shad territory with seals, one making the most of the comfortable feathers, the melting juveniles. but here to evidence once again of how the world is

closing in on antarctica. a number of terrorists 20 years ago was around 4 to 5000 a year. now it's more like 30000 old like me, desperate to see this wilderness while it's still here. yet despite myself, i can't help the sense of unease and surprise about the sheer numbers. i've been a bit saddened by the great big crew ship. they're here in pristine until the current lines. inter is going up. there's dormant volcano, which is ridiculous because it's a free world, but it does just demonstrate the the new accessibility that there is here. and the dangers in these areas becoming tainted by the footprints of humanity. next day was deeming down the west coast of the antarctic peninsula. we

are going approximately 60 miles south west to an area called trinity highland, where we have seen approximately 3 fishing vessels. we want to go investigate with the vessels off from china, ukraine, and chile. their fishing for crill, a small shrimp like creature on which the whole ecosystem depends. there are keystone of the ocean cycle that die to plankton helping to transfer c o 2 to the depths of the ocean. but current as being harvested on a growing scale for fish feet and omega 3 oil ships nets are out. and they're in the thick of a crill swamp. the corolla, obviously densely packed in this area up against the island, is a boat. so just circling round and round to bring them up, i once at all, the whales are feeding. you see them blowing and wail, tales disappearing. flipper showing buds really about the grill

company. say that tapping into a resort. it is sustainable. but the view on board is that that is what they said about other species, like the bison in north america, or called stocks off new founded before both were decimated. it's essential areas such as well see, are protected, so stocked can replenish the proposal for the area. would put the area 30 kilometers off shore off limits to the fishing industry. so we'd say that that solution. you can continue to fishing and talk to caution, but keep it outside of these areas currently being proposed protected areas because the reason being proposed is because i saw importantly ecosystem down here. soon we'll begin the long journey home for this time to make another landing. and the variety of species hair on livingston island is just astounding to like it

it absolutely spectacular. just a lot more diverse me having 2 species, penguins time petals elephant seals, lentils hills has not been another landing quite a variety. when you look at the straight from the ship, if it is leaking and yet you arrive here is just to be mean teeming with life and a thriving light now. and you can see all around us, it's thriving. who knows what it was like, a 100 is going to house it was doing even better, but right now it's still compared to most other places. a man is doing a lot better and the point of protecting is say to allow it to continue in this way . we haven't yet messer's place up. we have the opportunity to protect it. ah.

and then question that the, the dynamics in this place of antarctica. i changing the fur sealed population, expanding rapidly. it was a penguin, die off in these last year. the ice is changing. cradle populations are under threatened terrorism. i mean this is a lot of great wilderness love. it means protecting me. it's time to head back. and for 5 days we crossed the stormy seas of the drake passage to south america. before heading home an opportunity to consider the wonder of what we've seen and the challenges that lie ahead in winning the protection of a precious part of our planet. and whether or not his protection would indeed be granted in hoboken in 9 months time. ah,

so after months of campaigning and intense lobbying by the greenpeace team, it all comes down to here. hobart, on the island of tasmania, in australia, with the future, the weddell sea, we decided this is where it's all happening. the headquarters of the antarctic commission that protects and manages the planets, southernmost waters. everything from territorial claims to fishing rights are being thrashed out right now by 25 government delegations. historically the departure point for several antarctic expeditions. today, hobart is the place where the fate of the continent hangs in the balance. after our voyage together in antarctica, i hook up again with will. he's been lobbying hard for the weddell sea sanctuary since i last saw him. and the news he brings is unexpected. to say the least, it's not looking great. i think we've seen a rail a bit of a disaster of

a meeting to be honest, something and on was really expect they were i, we were always in a large, there was get me hard. and then what we seen is a few countries just really undermine the process and, and, and she broke any progress on any issue, not just, not just the antarctic ocean century, but actually progress in any field. good luck. thanks for to shoot in the next 24 hours. goodness great. i'm hoping to the best perhaps we'll hear some good news tomorrow is decision day. and the country delegations have been locked in talks. journalists aren't allowed in. so we wait and wait for you. we have development somethings of just had a cool so because again,

trying to find out what's happening to that is the head of the indian delegation talking to australia to tell us what are you saying it has come out of the conference every to reveal respect wadel superintendent dead in the water is not going to be adopted. it's just not gonna hot. that's just devastating. use our comp edge and how how the greenpeace team are free right now to say the other delegations or the other in june. she supported this proposal. just one or 2 nations have gotten the web or rush from china. lou confirms will's worst fears, but it's not until much later we can speak to him. he's devoted so much to this project. stairwell nice. i mean it's a, it's just a complete failure. on with the half of the commission on behalf of you know,

the millions of people who sign this petition who wanted this to happen, and we've just seen the entire thing. trash. yeah. 22 countries. i for the 25 support it. they believe this is a good proposal, but china, russia, neu, you know, one by 13 different means and different reasons have just taken it apart and kicked into the long grass. i'm from a personal point of view. you've invested so much time and energy and passion and heart into this what's, what's the most horrible? and i am nearly 2 years of 1st working on that day and i over yet write it i know via you know, there are other good proposals on the table. and this proposal in it is still a good one and we'll get the chance next year to resubmit it. but something's gonna have to shift in the next year. it is intensely disappointing for everybody involved, but it does just demons. the challenge we face in protecting this plan is especially

in the face of a current climate of nationalist and political self interest. you know, it's not just about the wales in the penguins, in the wonder of antarctica. it's about us, us and our descendants. we do, we want to leave them a world without wilderness, without healthy fish, dogs with ecosystems in tatters, with the 1st generation to realize the gravity of this crisis that we may be the last to be able to do something about it. ah, it was supposed to be a refuse, but south korea's brothers home was allegedly the scene of torture brave and even

murder one. 0, one east investigates the crimes and those set to be behind them. on al jazeera, compelling journalism, we keeping our distance because it's actually quite dangerous. ambulances continue to arrive at the scene of the explosion. inspire program making. i still don't feel like i actually know enough about living under fascism was light. how much money did you make for your bro in delay? rent and late february al jazeera english proud recipient of the new york festivals broadcaster of the year award. for the, for clear running from the al jazeera london broadcast intact to people in thoughtful conversation with no host and no limitations. what is even more and p needed mouth is system innovation? systems designed and system transformation? part one of human rights activist, q, me, 90 and environmentally. when own electric, i lived as you have with
