way don't see it until it besides an extraordinary bit. it's great. the law just protected area on this suspension episode of a 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, and the many threats to life climate change to as efficient as
9:34 am
a team of scientists, photographers and ocean experts, sounds approved. these voss remote forces must become and i talked to ocean central the before i central, it's down. so i'm going to find out so little about the journey i'm about to embark 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. the names of who new explorer is like, role damage and, and captain scan the, well, this is where some of those expeditions came to get them. that's us. we,
9:35 am
for the cause of the good to see this is a kind of treasure trove of policy exploration. he turns out mankind has forever being 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 co. incredible. so here we have been reaching the south pole. and then of course, the terrible trick back captain scott died here demonstrates how
9:36 am
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 us up until the 1920s that were probably less than i should think. 50 or 60 people had actually ever stepped on to the cold slip. of course, now thousands of getting every year. 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 chit. here on join the green p. shit. the arctic sunrise and head into the wedding. c with luck will reach out target the 60 full power though, which marks the northern edge of the proposed station signed 3. i mean to nationally supported marine was a covering 1800000 square kilometers. that would be protected from direct human
9:37 am
impact like fishing, oil drilling and deep sea mining l times of change. immediately, it's clear how connected the out to reaches of the antarctic continent to 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. mackie arrival. i'm surprised at how many people there are around. dozens are coming and going the nope. so remote is more of a trends we'll have. you can see lots of chairs down there,
9:38 am
taking rooms out to inflatable fights out to meet the crew ships for that holiday. i also had a lot of research stations with the weather closing, and we need to get a move on the for the next 2 weeks. the a high stakes lower on the way, immediately heading to the proposed ocean century is very time to lose look, just for the arctic sunrise. winter is not far away and the ice will soon close in its been so it breaks the gains time to protect areas like the way we'll see before it's too late to mccallum. it's a green piece campaign. lead way combining full will be the levels largest types of
9:39 am
area and on top of cushion, same chain in areas, the widow said it'd be about 5 times the size of gemini. the proposal is already on the table. it's already gone. the backing of the scientists are saying we need to protect a 3rd of the world's oceans at least, and we want to let fish dogs, whatever they want to mitigate against the west simplex assignment change. and then talk to is it a great place to saw? it just knowing month's time and how you box australia, the decision will be made by the until it's dictation commission, the international party responsible for the conservation of these waters on whether to accept the same truth 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 iceberg depending on the size, but they can all damage it ship when you're steaming at night. key thing about ice
9:40 am
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 comfortable, climbs into the cruise and transport leads through the ice. come through the i'm tossing sound, which kind of bice x and talk to friends with were not in the will see but no yes. at the for the we say what a perspective does it get? there we go to get through all this ice. there's a lot of it around there. we're finding these clear passages trying to we've all way through the ice. everyone on board is just willing the ship to make it into the proposed sine tree. the big problem is getting people to realize why they should care about the haven't talked to. you know, this is why i like that most people have never come across will never come across.
9:41 am
and sort of being able to tell that story relies on us getting that are related to us, getting the footage back and tell me about the importance of the types of pay stubs . what on the recovery, we put these areas of limits of assessment. 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 and intentional move for the remainder of the night. but everyone is keyed up the next day at last. the take sunrise has arrived surrounded by some of the coldest
9:42 am
maced diverse horses. they're all in what's going on board. who may yet be the largest protected area on the planet well on the good news. very good news made it made it to a successful carlo was sitting there now. there's awesome one other 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. yes. there's like 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 to the
9:43 am
front. what we're looking at here is great iceberg sweeping up change reassignment the weather, the expense way is with this area really about just talked about cheaper. that size typically search has taken place. it is an incredible sides, 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 levels rise. this right here is humanities problem for decades, perhaps centuries, i had the
9:44 am
sunrise of his realty for being good citizens, by wearing places which it laid out to recycle plastic or that sort of thing. but when you wash the hundreds of thousands of microfiber, the end of the world visions, so here on board, it's not from the of course, plastic pollution and i'll sees is one of the biggest environmental challenges about time. and a team makes the most the rare opportunity for such a points of data that can request success and taking so long to was to see if any market, plastic infiltrates at west
9:45 am
point was that maybe i think some of the extent this is valuable, which is the way to sees a very close drawing system and this very local sources, that micro, plastic 5 is, should be coming over destroyed around the world. some studies that micro plastic fibers, fox 3, and they all be found even though this medication. you know, it's a bizarre thing via flights on these wild and remote in decimal was feel quite i suppose you took a gps a google map and zoomed out. it's highly speculative yet beneath the surface of this magnificent desolation is just tv with live.
9:46 am
amazing. so the remote is and to see what lies below the expedition submarine is launched on board the antarctic specialist susanne block 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 seats or of organisms, has a great 3 d structure which all the other organisms to come in and make this. and a really interesting space is composition don't, will be effective, make it really difficult for a community to recover after the 7th, such as the for them 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, pollution. and that's why the expeditions full round research so important in the
9:47 am
bit to protect these voltage. oldest 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 a 3rd ride and with. 2 the same every day and we share the lights the lights that we
9:48 am
had for sure, making land on the south. shetland islands the other to be on tossed into quite a release to be back on dry land. but it's been really around all over the place. you're welcome. hi calling. it's the penguin 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. i talked to a number of tourist 20 years ago. it was around $4.00 to $5000.00 a year. now it's more like 30 pounds and 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. for the bit
9:49 am
sizing by this is a great big crew ship here in pristina and talked to karen lines. it's here, it's going to be on this domain which is ridiculous because it's a free. well, it does just demonstrate the the new accessibility. there is a dangerous in these areas between pages, by the footprint of next day was steaming down the west coast of the antarctic peninsula area where the vessels off from china, ukraine, and truly their fishing for crew. a small troop like creature on which the whole
9:50 am
ecosystem depends their keystone of the ocean cycle, the dodge of plants and helping to transfer c o 2 to the depths of the ocean. but currently 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 a crucible. criminal, obviously densely packed in this area up against the island. so just circling round and round ring the months at all the whales of feeding the season flowing and wild tales disappearing through showing bugs we give out the grill companies, say the tapping into a result that is sustainable. but the view on board is that that is what they said about other species like devices in north america or called store. so if you found a full booth with decimated it's essential areas such as well, c, offer tex, it stopped kind replenish. the proposal for this area would be area 30 kilometers
9:51 am
off show off limits to the fishing industry. so we side of that. so solution you can continue to fission in terms of caution, but keep it outside of these areas currently being posit 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 to stay on the wait list spectacular. just a little more diversity and having 2 spaces of penguins, john petrol, elephant sales level sales as not being in other landing with quite
9:52 am
a variety. when you look at the place from the ship is leaking and get you arrived in the evening, teeming with life. and it's driving right now and you can see all around us. it's driving. who knows what it was like under the is gonna pass it, was there 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, the, the, the question that the, the dynamics of this place of rental is good. i changing the for sale population expanding rapidly. it was a penguin dial from east last year. the price is changing. graham populations are under tresses tours, and i mean this is the last great wilderness on the needs. protecting
9:53 am
the it's time to head back into 5 days. we crossed 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 in winning the protection of the precious parts of our planet. and whether or not this protection would indeed be grounded in 9 months time. the often months of campaigning and in slow being by the green peace team, it all comes down to here hope out on the island, tasmania, in australia for the future. the will see, we decide this is where it's all happening. the headquarters of the ontology
9:54 am
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 delegations. to start k, the departure point for several antarctic expeditions today who bodies the place with the fates of the continents hines and the balance also avoids together in the and talked to hook up again with will be low being hard for the weddell sea century . 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 honest. 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 essentially broke any progress on any issue. not just, not just stay in touch the cushion century, but actually progress in,
9:55 am
in any feel. good luck. thank for the sheets for the next 24 hours as good as me. i'm hoping for the best. perhaps we'll have some good news tomorrow. the decision day. and the country delegations have been dropped into general assault allowed and so we wait and wait the we have development somebody's if we 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 way to see that in the world. no need to be dealt with this just as just devastating use account. hold on. i didn't how. how the grievance team are
9:56 am
free right now. let's say the other delegations, are we other in jersey? suppose it's just one or 2 nations to go. the way that russia in 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 hops and you know, the millions of people assigned this test, 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 parts and take the input on gross approved personal point of view you've invested so much
9:57 am
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 assess working on it. yeah. it. right. it kind 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 about, 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 because it's about us off and i'll defend we do. we want to leave them the world without wilderness, without healthy for stocks,
9:58 am
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 of the oil. boy, it's
9:59 am
a hot pitcher in the middle east. pay for one. those details right here right now. so the red is on dark, the red, the higher the temperature you a has joined the 50 degree club following iraq, iran, and quade. so in l dot from region the temperature stored up to 50 degrees just the other day. here's what we're looking at. here's what i see on monday, plenty of hot sunshine. the winds are shifting around, blowing down that hot air through the goals. so places like doha, your temperature will increase over the next few days and when your temperature goes up, that means that humidity comes down. it is a humid picture of those still for southern buckets done with the sea breeze. here . karachi, $35.00 degrees feeling closer to 40 and a wind is going to into some showers around the caspian sea. so some pretty big downpours actually around buck who with a high of 26 degrees still hot in southern turkey, so from on tahlia to mont have gone. those temperatures are in the forty's on cyprus as well. we've also got some high he for the northeast of africa, cairo looking at potentially it's hot is july day on record and for the coast of
10:00 am
tens and near those winds are within up to about 40 kilometers per hour. waves is about 2 meters high, and then south africa, not a bad start to the week, but temperatures will go down. in the days to come. the, the reports of an explosion on the bridge, lincoln, crimea, and russia. at least 2 people are killed. the are the bulk of so just a life from the also coming up will extreme heat is full cost across the northern hemisphere with southern you are bracing for 2nd heat waves. the.
