pakistan, his 8000000 acres available for olive trees. that's larger than spain, the largest producer of olive oil, government officials, environmentalists and farmers agree, and the positive impact growing olives can have on the economy, deforestation, and jobs. yet pakistan still spends billions of dollars a year to import commodities, which can potentially be produced at home from a job without a 0 by george northwest by his thumb. ah, hello again, i'm elizabeth brought him into our home with the headlines on al jazeera, the during the u. s. has found for the minnesota police officer kimberly potty guilty of manslaughter. and the fatal shooting of a black man. 20 year old dante wright died after pont a shot him during a routine traffic stop in april. the moment that we heard guilty, i'm manslaughter one. emotions every single emotion that you could

imagine just running through your body at that moment. i kind of let out a yelp because it was built up in the anticipation of what was the calm when, while we were waiting for the last few days. and now we've been able to process it . and we want to thank the entire prosecution team. we wanna thank community support everybody who's been out there that has supported us in this, this long fight for accountability. well, john henry lives in minneapolis and he says it's rare that a police officer in the us is charged and convicted of killing someone while on duty. this is a very closely watch trial here throughout the united states because dante wright was shot during the middle of another trial of a white police officer who killed a black man. that was a police officer. derek shaven, who knelt on the neck of george floyd, ultimately killing him. in this case,

kim potter stood, was almost impassive. simply lowered her head when each of those verdicts was read . she now has been taken immediately into custody and is already at a prison here in the state of minnesota. now the u. k. is held security agencies as people with i'm a crohn, a 50 to 70 percent less likely to be admitted to hospital than those with delta, the country reported nearly 820000 cases on thursday. covent of ours cases in new york have risen 60 percent of the past week. almost 12000 new infections are reported on wednesday. and major in president mohammed bahati has visited my liberty in warner state despite several explosions. leah, an air base, at least 5 people have been killed and more than a dozen injured will. those of the head lice earth rise is coming up next. in the far reaches of the new siberian islands, gold rush, fever is in the air,

hunted, searching for priceless woolly mammoth tasks of honor the holy grail. an incredible journey into the realms of science fiction, where cloning and synthetic biology have scientist playing god. witness genesis to point toe, the hunt for the woolly mammoth on al jazeera. ah ah.

well see in antarctica, besides an extraordinary bid? great. the lodge is protected, area honor. 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 here. climate change to as efficient as a team of scientists, photographers, and ocean experts set out to prove these vase remote waters must become an arctic ocean sanctuary. ah ah before i set off down south on go to find out a little about the journey. i'm about to embark on, tucked away in this maze of old london streets. something quite extraordinary. ever

since i was a boy, i'd been mesmerized by tales of the golden age of antarctic exploration of the early 20th century. names of polar explorers like rolled amundson and captain scott well, this is where some of those expeditions came to get their maps. he was he philip curtis. hello. good to see. this is a con treasure trove of past exploration. didn't come to hello. turns out mankind has forever been hooked on the concept of a mysterious continent. at the end of the world. this nap from the 15 eighty's is the last of the classical worldview. this is the world as it would have been understood by the ancient greeks and romans still got this great terror astrology, nandan called nita the unknown southern land spin forward 3 centuries to the time of men like captain scott, who died on his return from the south pole phillips shows me sledging mat from that

expedition. this is what they actually used to place the food depos for the attempt on the po. it's incredible. here we have in reaching the south pole. and then of course, the terrible trick back captain scott died here demonstrates how hard it was then does, how challenging it was in a far cry from to day. it's why this period is known as the heroic age. and 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 cold lip. um of course no thousands again every year. like many of the old explorers, i 1st had for punter irene. and since southern chile, but unlike them,

i'll be flying into antarctica to king george island. at the northern tip, harold joined the greenpeace ship. the arctic sunrise and head into the weddell sea . with luck will reach our target, the 64th parallel, which marks the northern edge of the proposed station sanctuary. an internationally supported marian reserve covering 1800000 square kilometers that would be protected from direct human impacts. like fishing, oil drilling and deep sea mining. how times have changed 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 out of your flight before 5 and i think it's a cold, murky arrival. i'm surprised at how many people there are around. dozens are coming

and going to hailey ok. george island and don't care. we made desolate, landed on not so remote as mormon trends have you can see lots inter gathered down there taking ribs out to inflatable bites out to meet that crucial for the holidays. i also hear a lot of research stations with whether closing in we need to get a move on the home for the next 2 weeks. i did pretty early. well,

we're on the way immediately heading for the proposed ocean sanctuary is no time to lose. not just for the arctic sunrise. windsor is not far away and the ice will soon close in. but it's also a race against time to protect areas like the well see before it's too late. we'll mccallum, it's a greenpeace campaign. leda way containing full. i will be the le wells largest protected area as an antique cushion sang chain. 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 gotten. the backing of the scientists are saying we need to protect a 3rd of the world's oceans, at least every one to let fish dogs recover and they want to mitigate against the west in climate change and then thought, is it a great place to start in? just 9 months time and hobart 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 the st tree 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. tense kinds for skip a full rou, ziki. you have a what they call berkey beds, growler and icebergs, 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 crow's nest transport leads through the ice. come through the antarctic round, which kind of bite sexy talk differently. we're now in the we'll see, but not yes. at the point we still to perfect it to 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 century. the big problem is getting people to realize why they should care about that. 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 help talking about the importance of maria, theresa, the types of fish will only recover and 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 and i me, darkness falls, but there is no rest on the bridge for the captain. and the night crew 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 is keyed up slight up here. the next day at la, the arctic sunrise has arrived surrounded by some of the coldest, most diverse waters there. all it was all on board. hope may yet be the largest protected area on the planet. well, when a good news, very good news made it, made it to a 6 foot parallel was sitting there. now there's awesome one other ship in this entire space. and you just go over this side. and we suddenly saw getting sort of tens of, of ships, but cruise line as cargo ships fishing vessels. the moment you get through this sound as us that and another ship about that. and that's it in my all whole area. that said slightly scary yet. there's like february, exciting as well it's,

i think kind of just makes the case that this is christine, this area is not develop is not call industries never have industry sort of area that's kind of most on touch, even within and talk to come i want you in a row. incredible. what we're looking at here to yes, the eyes are great. i spoke to the be called dr. glass is sweeping up. james ross island at the weddell sea expensive way to a different proposed area. really about just talk to mikey with activity was no scientific research is taking place. it is an incredible site, but deeply troubling. 2 glasses have always collapsed and carved into the antarctic

ocean. 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, ah. it is laundry day. i'll knock at sunrise and his face will fit with being good citizens by wearing fleeces, which it made out of recycled plastic bottles and sort of thing. but when you wash that, hundreds of thousands of micro fibers end up in the world's oceans. so here on board it's woollen and natural governments and of course plastic pollution in our seas is one of the biggest environmental challenges about time. and the team makes the most of

a rare opportunity for research to some of our marketers was on the planet. that'll be appalling to data that could be plastic, says in the green pc, conducting experiments, taking samples from water to see if any micro plastics have infiltrated this environment with fibers that may be present. so they're both taking some of the fillings draws with what we certainly hope you're not find that this is very with her or just the way to caesar. very close join a system and there's very few local sources at micro plastic fibers should be coming from. however, evidence is growing around the world. studies that micro plastic fibers are extreme refills, release, and they all be found even the reluctance location. that's

a bizarre thing. be a flight on these wild and remote and desolate waters, feel quite exposed. mujica gps a google map and zoomed out to be a tiny speck unless you've off the ice and water. yet beneath the surface of this, magnet desolation is tv with live elisa, so the remotest waters on her and to see what lies below the expedition submarine is launched on board the antarctic specialist susan la carte. what she sees is a stunning underwater realm compose 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 at the see thought organism has a great 3 d structure which allows other 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 disturbance, 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 sanctuary proposal and presented 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 tar practice to running repairs. and of course, cooking for all. i was cooking today for the way

and this pony movie. we know the pessimist, the same every day and we share the life with them. it is not everybody who has a view like this in their restaurant kitchen. hey, that's why we're here. later we had for sure making land phone on the south shetland islands near the to dance hosted peninsula. it's quite a relief to be back on dry land off but it's been careening around all over the place to me welcome. hi, colin is marcy penguin shad territory with seals, one, making the most of the comfortable feathers, the melting juvenile. but here to evidence,

once again of how the world is closing in on antarctica. the 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 a bit saddened by the great big crew ship here in pristine on top of the current lines of terrorist going out. there's dormant volcano, which is ridiculous because it's a free well, but it does just demonstrate the the new accessibility that there is dangerous in these areas, becoming tainted by the footprints of humanity. next day was steaming 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 of from china, ukraine and chilly their fishing for crill. a small shrimp like creature on which the whole ecosystem depends. there are keystone of the ocean cycle, the dye to plant and helping to transfer c o 2 to the depths of the ocean. but crill is 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 swarm. the corolla, obviously densely packed in to this area up against the island, is the boat. so just circling round and round to bring them up amongst at all, the whales are feeding. you see them blowing and wail, tales disappearing,

flipper showing buds really about grill company, say they're 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 offshore, off limits. so the fishing industry, so we'd say that so solution you can continue to fission intoxication, but keep it outside of these areas. carney 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 it absolutely spectacular. just a lot more diverse me how in 2 species penguins, dime petals, elephant the sales sales has not been another landing a quite a variety is when you look at this place from the ship, it is leak and and yet you arrive here is just to be me teaming with us and it's thriving right now and you can see all around us. it's thriving. who knows what it was like a 100 years ago thought it was doing even better, but right now it still compared to most other places on that. it's doing a lot better than the point of protecting is to allow it to continue in this way. we haven't yet. messer's place up. we have the opportunity to protect it. oh,

no question that the, the dynamic said, this place of antarctica. i changing the fur sealed population expanding rapidly. there was a penguin, die off in these last year. the pies is changing. crill populations are under correct terrorism. i mean this is a last great wilderness on earth. it means protecting. ah lou. 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 them 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 and all comes down to here, whoa bought 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, right at 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 the lot. 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, in any field. good luck. thanks for to shoot in the next 24 hours. goodness me. oh, i'm hoping to the best perhaps we'll hear some good news to morrow is decision day and the country delegations have been locked in talks. journalists aren't allowed in. so we wait and wait. we have development, something's 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 is come out of the conference every to real respect. wadel she did in the water is not going to be a doctor just just not gonna that's just devastating. use our cop 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. it's terrible nice. i mean, it's a, it's just a complete failure on behalf 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, no, i, 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? you know, it's nearly 2 years of 1st working on it. there it i, every year 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. i 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. it has not just about the wales in the penguins, in the wonder of antarctica. it's about us, us and our descended. where do we want to leave them? a world without wilderness, without healthy fish, dogs. with ecosystems in tatters. with a 1st generation to realize the gravity of this crisis that we may be the last to be able to do something about ah ah,

with frank assessments, this crisis is continued to weaken luca shanker, even though perhaps he believed in the beginning. there have been informed opinions, pricing, politicians will now be under incredible pressure from their young people. that is one of the most helpful things to come out of this critical debate. do you think that they should be facilitated? not sure. okay, it's a great. it's a really simple question. let's give samuel child swanson inside story on al jazeera code. 19 is a public health crisis that has been compounded by capitalism. ali re navigates the big questions raised by the global pandemic power. this is been based on private ownership from the pursuit of profit. so the world in

a ton of capitalism is the pandemic back is the cause of so much of the suffering exploited protect the people or the profit episode. one of all hail the lockdown on al jazeera ah, to guilty of manslaughter. u. s. course rules, in the case of a white police officer shooting a black man dead at a traffic stop in minnesota. ah, mom elizabeth, veronica, this is al jazeera live from doha. also coming up the u. k. governments as the on the con, variant of college 19 is less likely to overwhelm hospitals. but concerns remain as infections rise across europe. vladimir putin puts ne, so.
