11:33 pm
headlines on algae 0. do stay with us. the thrive is coming up next. thank you for watching the way to see it. besides an extraordinary bid, great, the law just protected area on this suspension. let me say to the tries, we going on board the green piece icebreaker. optics, sunrise, following one of the biggest campaigns in the environmental organizations, history, witnessing the spectacular, biodiversity,
11:34 pm
and the many threats to life climate change to as efficient as a team of scientists, photographers, and ocean experts, sounds approved. these bonds, remote forces must become an talk to ocean sunk tree the before i central down. so i'm going to find out so little about the journey i'm about to talk on. talk to a is mays of old london streets. something quite extraordinary. ever since i was a boy, i'd be mesmerized by tales of the golden age of antarctic exploration of the early 20th century. names of who new explorer is like, role damage and, and captain scan the, the,
11:35 pm
well, this is where some of those expeditions came to get them. that's us. we, for the cost of the good to see this is a kind of treasure trove of policy exploration. he turns out mankind has forever being hooked on the concept of a mysterious continent at the end of the world. this map from the 50 natives is the last of the classical will view. this is the world as it would be now understood by the ancient greeks and romans still go. this great, terrible story. snomed on complete the and the southern land spinning forward 3 centuries to the time of man, like captain scott, who died on his return from the south pole. philip shows me a sledging that from that expedition stronger. this is what they actually used to place the feet that pose for the attempt on the po. incredible. so here we have been reaching the south pole. and then of course,
11:36 pm
the terrible trick back captain scott died here demonstrates how hard it was then just how the challenge it was that a far cry from today. it's boy, this period is known as the aerobic age. they were truly great to hear is up until the 19 twenty's that were probably less than i should think. 50 or 60 people had actually ever stepped onto the cold slip. of course, no thousands of getting ever you the like many of the old explorers, i 1st had for printer arrangements in southern chile. but unlike then i'll be flying into and thoughts go to king george island at the northern ship. here on join the green p. shit, the arctic sunrise and head into the weddell sea. with not we'll reach out target the 60 full power though, which marks the northern edge of the proposed station sang 3. i mean to nationally supported marine was
11:37 pm
a covering 1800000 square kilometers that would be protected from direct human impact like fishing, oil drilling and deep sea mining. how times have changed immediately. it's clear how connected the out to reach is of the ontology, continental, 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 a few it's a cold muggy arrival. i'm surprised at how many people there are around. dozens are coming and going. you're driving the nope. so remote is more of a trend school,
11:38 pm
you can see lots of chairs driving down there, taking ribs out to inflammable fights out to meet the cruise ships for that holiday . i also had a lot of research stations with where the closing in we need to get a move on the for the next 2 weeks. thank you. the a high stakes lower on the way, immediately heading to the proposed ocean, sighing tree. there's no time to lose. look just for the arctic sunrise. windsor is not far away and the ice is too close and about it's been so a race against time to protect areas like the way we'll see before it's too late. newman katlyn, it's a green piece campaign lead. we're combining full,
11:39 pm
i will be the little was largest types of area and i talked to cushion same chain in the area of the widow said it'd be about 5 times the size of gemini. the proposal is already on the table, it's already going. the backing of the scientists are saying we need to protect a 3rd of the walls oceans at least. and we want to let fish dogs with others who want to mitigate against the west simplex to find an talk. this is a great place to saw. it just knowing months time and how you box australia, the decision will be made by the until arctic ocean commission, the international party responsible for the conservation of these waters on whether to accept the st tree proposal. theme 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 voices. tends times to escape a full resist key you have, but what they call bring you bet growler as an icebergs depending on the size,
11:40 pm
but they can all damage a ship when you're steaming at night, keeping a boat, isis 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 comfortable, climbs into the cruise and transport leads through the ice. come through the i'm talking sound, which kind of bice exxon's occupants were not in the will see but no. yeah. so the for the was the perspective but the get there we go 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 to shift to make it into the proposed pine tree. the big problem is getting people to realize why they should care about the i'm to take, you know,
11:41 pm
this is why i like that most people have never come across will never come across. and sort of being able to tell that story relies on us getting that are related to not getting the pushes back until talking about the importance of effective pay stubs without any recovery. we put these areas of limits. the fact that climate change will be not as bad if we managed to put large areas of the ocean on the darkness pools, but there is no rest on the bridge for the captain and the night crew. the flood lights on the bowels show the ship. now knowledge dumped quietly against the ice, unintentional move for the remainder of the night. but everyone is keyed up. the
11:42 pm
next day at last, the optic sunrise has arrived surrounded by some of the coldest, most diverse waters. they're all in what's going on board, who may yet be the largest protected area on the planet. well, the good news, very good news made it made it to the 6 foot carlo who sitting there now is awesome . one of the ship and this entire space. and you just go over this side and we certainly start getting so tens of, of ships, but crews on is cargo ships fishing vessels. the moment you get through this sound as us the another ship about that. and that's it. and my whole the whole area that said slightly scary. yeah. terrified it slip very exciting as well. but exciting and kind of just makes the case that this is christine, this area is not developed is no co industry is never had industry. so that's the area that's kind of the most i'm talk even within and talk
11:43 pm
the what we're looking at here is great iceberg. all the glasses sweeping up change reassignment the, the weather, the expense. ways with this area really about just talked about the size typically search has taken place. it is an incredible size, but deeply troubling. 2 plants is have always collapsed and carved into the until to go sion. however, with global warming that doing so with increasing speed and as the sheets retreats, sea level rise. this right here is humanities problem. for decades, perhaps centuries,
11:44 pm
i had the sunrise of his real future being good citizens by wearing places which it laid out to recycle plastic of that sort of thing. but when you wash the hundreds of thousands of microfiber, they end up in the world visions. so here on board, it's not from the of course, plastic pollution analyses is one of the biggest environmental challenges about time. and the team makes the most the rare opportunity for such a points of data that can reply success and taking solving to want to see if any market,
11:45 pm
plastic infiltrates in this environment has been waiting for somebody to extend this is very mobile, which is the way to see is a very close going system at this very local sources at micro, plastic 5 is, should be coming from, however, evident destroyed around the world. some studies that micro plastic fibers, fox prefixes. and they'll be found the location. you know, it's a bizarre thing via flights on these wild and remote in decimal was feel quite exposed using a gps a google map and zoomed out. we just get the highly speculative g voss. yet, beneath the surface of this,
11:46 pm
like living desolation is just tv with live. amazing, so the remote is and to see what lies below the expedition submarine is launched on board the antarctic specialist susan lot caught what she sees as a stunning underwater ro propose of all manner of life. life not yet touched by mankind. box enormously at risk, not least from the effects of industrial scale fishing. it has a 100 percent coverage of the sea floor of the organism. has a great 3 d structure which is all the other organisms to come in and be fair. and really interesting spaces, composition i know will be effective, make it really difficult for a community to recover after the 7th, such as quantum fishing, we call these areas fundable marine the eco system. and the estimated 14000 species on the sea bed of unable not just the fishing, but to other threats like warming, see temperatures and plastics,
11:47 pm
pollution. and that's why the expeditions full round research so important in the bit to protect these waters. all the scientific data will be compiled to form a party of evidence in support of the assigned to the proposal and present it to the ontology 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 a day shaped by the routine on board. everyone has different ways of filling sparrows from the top practice to running repairs. goals looking for for the ride. and we know the system is the same every day and we share the lights.
11:48 pm
the lights that we had for sure, making land full on the south shetland islands the other to be on top of the peninsula cutter release to be back on dry land or facebook reading around all over the place. to me welcome. hi calling. it's the pin and share a territory with the sales one, making the most of the comfortable feathers, the melting juvenile adhere to evidence once again of how the world is closing in on, on talk to a number of tourist 20 years ago. it was around $4.00 to $5000.00 a year. now it's more like 30000, like me, desperate to see this wilderness while it's still here. yet despite myself,
11:49 pm
i can't help this sense of unease and surprise about the sheer numbers. and a bit sizing by this is a great big crew ship here in christine and talked to karen lines. it's here, it's going to be out this door which is ridiculous because it's a free. well, it does just demonstrate the the new accessibility. there is a dangerous there's been some changes by the footprints of commodity next day was deeming down the west coast of the antarctic peninsula area where the vessels off from china, ukraine,
11:50 pm
and truly refreshing for crew. a small troop like creature on which the whole ecosystem depends their keystone of the ocean cycle. the dodge of planting, helping to transfer c o 2 to the depths of the ocean. but current is being harvested on a growing scale, the fish feet and with the 3 or ships nets are out. and they're in the thick of the crucible. the crew obviously densely packed in this area up against the island. so just circling round and round ring the months ago, the whales of feeding the season flowing and wild tales disappearing. slippery showing bugs waiting about grill companies, say the tapping into a result that is sustainable. the view on board is that that is what they said about other species like device and in north america or called store. so if you found a full booth with decimated it's essential areas such as well,
11:51 pm
see all protected stopped kind replenish, proposal for this area. would be area 30 kilometers off, show off limits to the fishing industry. so which side of the solution you can continue to fish and in terms of caution, but keep it outside of these areas currently being positive protected areas because the reason light being proposed is because it's so important for the eco system down here. soon we'll begin the long journey home for this time to make another landing. and the variety of species here on livingston island is just as down the absolutely spectacular. just a little more diverse minute having 2 spaces of penguins done petrol,
11:52 pm
elephant seals, lentils hills is not being another landing with quite a variety. when you look at this place from the ship is leaking and get you arrive here and just be me teeming with life. and it's driving right now, and you can see all around this, it's driving. who knows what it was like a 100 years ago, thoughts, it was doing even better. but right now it's still compared to most of the places on that is doing a lot better. unemployment type thing is to allow it to continue. and that's why we haven't yet messer's place up. we have the opportunity to protect the or the question that the, the dynamics of this place, events how it's got a changing sale population expanding rapidly. it was a penguin dial from the east. last year. the price is changing. graham populations are under tresses tours,
11:53 pm
and i mean this is the last great wilderness on the needs. protecting the it's time to head back into 5 days. we cross the stormy seeds 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 then winning the protection of the precious parts of our planet. and whether or not this protection would indeed be grounded in 9 months time or the often months of campaigning and intense love being by the green peace team. it all comes down to here hope out on the island tons mania in australia for the future. the widow see,
11:54 pm
we decide this is where it's all happening. the headquarters of the ontology commission that protects and manages the planets southern most horses. everything from territorial claims to fishing rights being stretched out right now by 25 government allegations. historically, the departure point for several antarctic expeditions today who bodies the place with the fates of the continents hines and the balance all throughout the voyage together in until out to hook up again with will be low, being hard for the widow see sentry since i last saw him, the news he brings is unexpected. to say the least. it's not looking great. i think we've seen a real a bit of it is also the main thing to be on this. somebody didn't know and was really expect the way we were always in the last. it was gonna be hard. and then what we're seeing is a few countries just really undermine the process and. and since you broke any
11:55 pm
progress on any issue, not just not just stay in touch coaching century, but actually progress in, in any field. good luck. thank for the sheets for the next pretty for us. good is great. i'm hoping for the best. perhaps we'll have some good news tomorrow the decision day and the country delegations have been locked into general assault allowed. and so we wait and wait the we have development. somebody just had a cool. so we could again try and find out what's happening. so that is the head of the indian and told me to straighten what do you say? it's kind of reveal widows you don't want to be dealt with. it's just
11:56 pm
that's just devastating. use a comp. i didn't how, how the grievance team are free right now. let's say the other delegations, are we other in jersey? suppose it's just one or 2 nations to go to the wherever frustrated china it confirms wills was fee is but it's not until much later we can speak to him. he's debated so much to this project. stairwell nice. i mean it's, uh, it's just a complete same. yeah. the commission on the hoffman, you know, the millions of people assigned this takes a new one to this to happen and we've just seen the entire thing. try. yeah. 22 countries. after the 25 support that they believe this is a good proposal, but china, russia, no, i, you know, one by one through different means and different reasons have just taken that pods
11:57 pm
and take teams with on gross personal point of view. you've invested so much time and energy and passion and heart into this what's, what's the feeling? it's horrible. you know, it's nearly 2 years of us working on that area right in of yeah, you know, there are other good proposals on the table and this proposal and this is still a good one and we'll get the chance next year to resubmit it. but something's going to have to shift in the next year. it is intensely disappointing for everybody involved. but it does just demonstrate the challenge we face in protecting this plan is of us, especially in the face of a current climate of nationalist, political self interest. it is not just about the way elizabeth penguins and the one to event out to go. it's about us off and i'll defend we do. we want to
11:58 pm
leave them the world without wilderness, without healthy fish, ducks with the coast systems in taxes. with the 1st generation to realize the gravity of this crisis that we may be the last to be able to do something about the
11:59 pm
the weather brought to you by visit capital. for now the midwinter temperature for melbourne is round about 13 degrees and you expect to see still insistence coming off the bite. that's exactly what we have. this weather looks exactly as it should be. maybe unusually, for all the problems the world is not as it should be, but hey, ra, few shouts of over cost, whether it's supposed to rain in, for example, adelaide pulses, enjoying $70.00 degrees on so rising slightly by the time you get to sunday, and then we'll just want to get started as across towns mania towards do you see is the picture using these one? as you might expect, the combination, whether it's that running up the self analysis across crochase, enjoying 50 degrees with the sun, disappears for you on sunday. for the north and the concentration of tropical rain, and they will be some pretty big down post i think is lose all men down to was just dos is sort of why 6 to the west of that. yeah, there are a shala's, but they are pretty well sporadic and the places that will remain fairly dry.
12:00 am
sumatra, for example. obviously the concentration in the south china sea. indeed, that will one itself up into a tie. soon by the time he gets to sunday, or maybe more likely monday, southern china sing dry weather for the time being northern hong shuler sweat. by the time you get to sunday, that also struck you out. the drive at hong kong looks wet. the weather brought to you by visit cuts on the of the levels of the problem. and this is the new zone life from coming off in the next 16 minutes, a blistering us heat wave of set to intensify impacting of the 19000000 americans from florida to california temperature reco. it's expected to be broken in europe
