12:45 pm
the doctor came in and confirmed. on ultrasound that there was a heart rate than just fell to the floor in can believe it and. swallow. and that will stay with me forever and i think his wow like he just kind of think in a minute instead that over sudden everything changes. at 1st down struggle to express his grief. like most men not saying all but most he had to be the man who looked after the women and. you know it i was a mess i was awful i was a little bit since joining the football squad down has been coping better to come to terms with his daughter's death the team was founded in 2019 in southern england
12:46 pm
now that joined the amateur football league. before kick off they observe a minute of silence in honor of the deceased children. and seriously this is also struck. so far they haven't won any of their matches maybe today's game will bring the turnaround. which means a reference over us 100 percent this is all i can work in so i mean you say oh the same style you've obeyed to get along and yet we're here for a different race and with our football should we don't want to win the game as well . sans united pull off their 1st victory winning $4.00 to $2.00. it's a great feeling to give some strength to my wits probably just be sour hard rock
12:47 pm
without these guys you know if someone's having a bad day i. was sort of we all law that whether it's my coach whether it's just the backgrounds but everybody knows that we're there for each other. and that's. togetherness is what the stains of gold about what they win. as a squeeze of lemon a pinch of salt and a glass of sobering all day long. part of french cuisine and it is here in france where some of the tasty comes from but criminals there have also developed a voracious appetite for the delicate oyster heists are threatening the livelihoods of many breeders like nicole as thieves sell the mollusks on the black market while stories are now stepping in to safeguard the french staple and test the burglars.
12:48 pm
it's early morning this is debated afternoon on the french brittany coast. because on the name is an oyster farmer he loves working here for months he's been extremely worried because thieves have been stealing the precious molluscs. if the tide is out we come here in the mornings to check if everything is all right. soon he spots a basket that has been cut open again oyster thieves have struck it's a major financial loss it takes 3 years until the oyster can be sold until then they need to be carefully tended to. several weeks ago 3 and a half tons of oysters were stolen in one night. and. these here are 60. 7 or $8000.00 euros and they stole $250.00 of them
12:49 pm
will. last year many tons of oysters were stolen across france and the situation seems to be getting worse and once the valuable mollusks have been taken they're impossible to trace back. some coastal towns have now set up a special police force like here in london monday as. gregory hof carter is one of the officers in charge. seems like you know main job is to prevent oyster so. we go one patrol every morning noon and all that sort of night i mean yeah. they use drones to keep an eye on the coast hoping to catch boisterous thieves
12:50 pm
redhanded. so far they've proven elusive the thieves seem to know their way around the oyster farms and so usually all the special police force can do is act when it's already too late. we then look at the. other and if. we have to look at. such a big load of stolen oysters. ploy. only people from within the trade are capable to do so says nick. he's convinced the thieves are from the area. nobody else has the local knowledge and tools necessary to collect the baskets from the bay. thinking the
12:51 pm
kinds of people who. have a suspicion but no. proof that it could also turn out to be one of my friends just said i could experience a bits of disappointment. another problem is that an increasing number of oysters are catching a disease during farming the rare virus was previously found only in warmer waters . in 2008 the virus mutated now it only requires $13.00 to $14.00 degrees so we are affected to. whether there's a connection to global warming no name doesn't know but it's a possibility. in the town of there's a market every saturday. nasal oysters are extremely popular and he doesn't have to wait long for customers. full of diet on very healthy very
12:52 pm
pure like to see and also a bit nutty you know and with. these order stores have an extraordinary taste that we are particularly fond of. the oysters are sold out before noon. like so often he says he could have sold a lot more if it weren't for the oyster thieves in his view their crimes are an forgivable. imo urias we've also had to go to jail for what we'd never ever think of robbing neighbors. that's not who he was no it's not nice to see that. and then they now hopes that the police can finally catch the thieves but the odds are against him despite intensive investigations very few oyster thieves have been caught. and magine the thrill of driving a ferrari on a formula one circuit now imagine doing it on ice if you have
