out why cliff divers don't go in head 1st that's coming up later on in the show. everyone is welcome to a special edition of your own max with a focus on the ocean i'm your host meghan lee is that look at what we've got in store for you today. how a freediver explores the deep blue sea. ant a dutch form a shop that brings the case to the ocean to the table. how long can you hold your breath. well on average most people only manage one or 2 minutes but with the right training you can increase that quite a bit the current record is over 24 minutes held by

a free diver now they explore the oceans without using oxygen tanks and fun but it did didn't start free diving until she was 37 years old but she's still among the world's best while we met up with her to find out more. fun but ish at the deep blue sea isn't in chanted world where she feels absolutely free. she's a freedom i thought that means she dives without oxygen tanks and she's one of the world's best. what's unique about free diving is that you're completely on your own to go of that it's just you against nature and yourself. on things that maybe even in the ultimate sense in the final consequence elects a consequence. free

divers have to master a special breathing technique which allows them to dive deep on a single breath. and are caught up on their your body realizes no you're under water. you can't breathe so you have to conserve oxygen if you're going to survive the 1st your pulse drops your heart rate slows down have and your metabolism slows radically and less energy is used when you're in everything is geared towards saving oxygen and keeping you alive as long as possible or only able to help them before diving and a concentrates on storing up as much oxygen in her lungs as possible at. some freezer i was pushed themselves beyond their limit and risk physical harm freediving is an extreme sport and not to be taken lightly.

locals music was our greatest risk is losing consciousness when you hold your breath you can always lose consciousness and then if you're in the water and that happens and nobody is there to pull you out. you drown. so we keep an eye on each other. anna was already an experienced diver when she took a course in free diving in 2007 within just 6 months but she'd set 3 german records the same year she brought home grown from the world championships in egypt and. back home in berlin she trains 3 or 4 times a week many free divers take up yogurt and various meditation techniques but ana prefers cross fit a grueling full body training program that pushes her to her limits.

on up north although i'm a free diver so i've only got one breath and i need muscle condition that can work without using a lot of oxygen before and i'm making very good progress with cross at home and of course so good for. their approach to life is to take the beaten path she briefly traded her neoprene diving suit for a laptop. in may 2019 and i published her 1st book it's an athlete's biography but also much more besides. i'm actually quite the opposite of a freediver and i have one line that is too small of the living and i'm not an especially good swimmer i've got so many things that should stop me but i'm still quite a success at it. i've been one of the world's best for over 10 years now that's a story that should encourage everyone to approach life with an open mind and to watch it back in cyprus now she has to concentrate.

on making sure that is the best discipline for me is free diving with them. i think i dived 81 meters deep with one in 2013 who i'd like to try again and see if i can make it down just one more meter that would be really really great. with the she succeeds or not i'm a fun but it sure has found her own happiness in the ocean depths. most people prefer to go to the beach for sunshine blue skies and a pleasant temperatures but others love the turbulence see after

a storm when the tide is wild for the british or french or for rachel tell about it can't get stormy enough and thanks to her photos even those at home can enjoy the drama of the ocean. when the sea churns and whales when the tides come in and gales with the water that's when british way photographer rachel tal afar springs into action. i'm just going to watch the waves stressed i'm a shill. on the beaches of england south east coast she takes spectacular photos of the sea as if she were out in the midst of it. but she says out there she get seasick. a lot of people often say to me oh you must been in

a boat you look as if you're after sea and that is the look i want to get you and i remember how it feels to be right houses say with no land in sight and just waves around here and i think that's what i'm trying to illustrate in a lot of my photographs but from the shore. photographing waves means dealing with a constantly changing subject. that if you could ever see that if you get one really big way the next to me to be after it at this beach and many beaches will force a big big. say there are people who see the 1st before i take a picture and then they're looking at the camera there's 2 more coming. rachael tonopah true international attention with her photo series sirens she took the pictures during especially intense storms involving winds up to 150 kilometers per hour and waves as high as 15 meters it was the 8th of february try to 60 which

restore and i spent the day here exactly where we are now and it was 6 hours of actually exhausting actually pretty and photographer a. she gave every wave she photographed for the series a name taken from mythology. decide in making the giant waves seem like reaching dawn or demons. if you freeze the sea at a really fast shutter speed a 1000th of a 2nd or thereabouts there are amazing shapes and this is an example this one is called loki the norse trickster god looks like it how can a good laugh. if she's out during a real storm she lies right on the sand to achieve greater stability then she can use her telephoto zoom lens to capture waves of 200 meters away.

you have to adopt really uncomfortable poses like this lying on a shingle for a long time getting as low down as possible makes the razor bigger because the horizon goes down and the wave stands up above the horizon and so really makes all the difference in the world. rachel tyler bartz black and white photos have won her many awards but she doesn't always dispense with color. i just thought it was so simple it was just about light catching that wave in that moment i didn't want the distraction of color color for this one because the green in that way if i just thought it was so lovely and i didn't find this wave scary it was more beautiful and that's probably because it's actually moving across the frame so it's not threatening me in any way. the photographer has always loved to seize mysterious and an earthly qualities but she also senses that now it poses an

entirely new kind of menace i spent a lifetime looking at the sea i look at this coast and i'm not a scientist but it. failed to mate at the end of a severe storms on this case has grown which from a fighter graphic perspective is quite exciting thought is obviously also has other ramifications more worrying. that when the sea becomes smooth and tranquil and and time its time for rachel tang the party to head home again. seaweed on the beach is seen as a nuisance by most people especially if you're on vacation but for dutch chef edwin vega it serves as colon area gold in fact he collects it for his main dishes now seaweed in asian cuisine has long been commonplace now it's also popular in

european kitchens thanks to its nutritional value and its diversity and once you see how uses it for his were made creations well you might become inspired to. taste of the sea fleet adorned with algae mussels edwin vink is cuisine is based on local maritime ingredients. a life without the sea a lot. of the project is one picks by thinking. today think and his friend yarn cranston visiting the north sea coast in the netherlands. drink is the only person in this region holds an official permit to harvest the algae. because sometimes everything immediately. this is japanese. berry we see we will dry it i want is the right

even more intense it's even more. basting like like c c s i so this is really this is not my favorite but this is really great they're great if we figure puts his creative skills to good use that his restaurant the crumb of the guy located right near the shore so what we started is with all the different kinds of seaweed . this is the rolls royce between august this is. when you make like something like oil or something from les there's like white. we don't use ruffles in the kitchen but this is my preferred. food the think it prepares is cooked with salt water from the sea filtered and boiled of course to kill off any bacteria. you see what happens if there's. water reduced the salt in the water it's on the potato and then you have this salty potato. so simple.

the menu features mostly fish and shellfish and think you use a c.v.s. visitor ships would use vegetables. much easier is the sea the sea water so people come here to taste the sea to experience the sea when you walk around here you smell the sea they want to have this on your plate. muscles are a favorite item on the menu because we've spent 20 different varieties the pending season. wilful thing about it is they all have their own taste one of them a sweet one of them has been a bit sour so i would have all those different kinds of taste that we have that is bringing another extra dimension on the shelf. or like on the shelf see weights but you have to taste them all before you know

what which one are the best and then you have to test them out so if the called them you have to make them you have to make over they have to eat at the raw if you want so it was a long time. thinking has finally developed the sweet consultant desserts. roasts wacken seaweed and combines it with baked chocolate mousse red bean paste and. this is remind you of the wrong north sea coast this is. just one guy coming up on george smith's japanese and for this. very important that people come in here one day leave the table have to be fit you have to be tired and we try to do to make it as clear as possible and that's healthy as possible so we don't use sure what our dishes also like japanese you know issue where we are sonic we have our own bees in the. so i would try to make our kitchen as light as possible and as healthy as possible because it's very important. think

it has made a name for himself as a chef who prepares fresh nor seen greedy and served in innovative combinations. professional cliff diver i know has been hearing herself off rugged ledges for almost 15 years well sometimes from a height of up to 20 meters and through these daring feeds she's become one of europe's most successful cliff divers we met up with her in switzerland on the edge of a cliff no less. 3 seconds that's all she's got then on a platter hits the water at a speed of about 85 kilometers an hour. cliff diving its cliff diving gives me this great sense of freedom up there i'm on my own a sort of untouchable me and when i take off and i'm in the advantage that is a moment of weightlessness that's what freedom feels like to me that's good enough

i hate. one of europe's most popular cliff diving locations is near the swiss village of puncture brother. telling off his vital since cliff divers cannot afford to slip they hit the water at such high speeds that the water surface can act like concrete that's why they only into the water feature 1st. hitting the surface at a bad angle after a 20 meter drop is like being in a fairly serious traffic accident resulting in broken bones sprains and dislocated joints but this mainly happens to novice divers injury rates for professionals are fairly low. the. fears essential it helps us stay focused and avoid becoming reckless. a few is

generally a good thing for us and we need to prepare ourselves mentally before the dive and then visum a jump in our minds. for them in the end i also do breathing exercises so that were really centered when we go but one thing i would ask. cliff diving is an adrenaline rush on a batter practices yoga during training and at competitions to stay calm and focused. and her partner chris columbus. is also a professional cliff diver together they have 2 children to keep fitness and family life in balance they often train together but being a parent and an extreme athlete is not always easy. so i'm was more worried about myself like when i'm performing also like when she's

. i'm worried about her because you know before if you're single you're responsible if you're so but you know ever think what you do there are a whole formally. that really now that i have a family i had last time to train and prepare for competition and. that's why i decided to slow down a little and do easy a jump. still even in 2017 i achieved better results than ever before. as a child and i did gymnastics springboard diving and later platform diving but that all changed when damon she was on vacation. as exhibit in batman i was 17 i was on vacation in jamaica and there were these locals typing off the cliff by rick's cafe is it's quickstep day and there was a platform for tourists to jump from and so i did that platforms don't have

a shadow and a local said you have that all your professional lady to come over and dive with us and that was my cliff diving debut. here in front of brahma on a batter's cliff diving career took off in 2005 for many years she was the only woman in the sport and had to compete against men no provisions had ever been made for female contenders with good demand there are plenty of a high level competition that's what many more opportunities to train and die and. it's especially great for us women and it was always my dream even when i just started out that that eventually the real competitions to take part in it even would end. her dream has come true but on about is not the finished yet and faced with a challenge she's always ready to take the plunge. about

20 years ago bad advice from munich who was looking for an outdoor sport that suited him but he had no luck so he decided to create one for himself he called it c tracking and he combined his love for the ocean travel and adventure in a unique way will see truckers rely on their own physical endurance while exploring the coast we joined him at one of his workshops in croatia. she trackers get to enjoy a deserted beach is breathtaking pace and stunning underwater landscapes. they explore gorgeous coastline it's like diving hiking and swimming. with me it's me personally the ocean is a sheer bengal a sixpence. it's a space you can never conquer and it's this intangibility the draws me out there

again and again. that's absolute freedom. absolute if. they aren't hard it is a sea trekking pioneer 20 years ago he was the 1st to swim from one tiny island to the next these days he offers workshops where he teaches others about the sport today he's on the croatian island of trash giving a sea trekking course with free diver nick and i learned most participants are familiar with water sports which helps. the y. in the uk so the. workshops like these highlight different aspects of sea trekking. you know the such as planning your routes the equipment needed and of course the way you move underwater. i did think. that it's not a lot like swimming in open waters or free diving. with sea trekking

your movements are result of the expanse of the sea. one of the most important pieces of kit is a kind of waterproof backpack it was developed by bernhardt himself see truckers use it to transport everything they need drinking water clothing food a sleeping mat and sneaking back. in with the future or taking. about 10 liters of drinking water. though i'll have to rearrange it in my packs so it won't get in my way when i'm swimming later on that's why i start off at once everything is packed the backpack is inflated now it has a streamlined shape and can be pulled behind the seat trekkers without much effort . this 3 day workshop only features a short trip to a nearby bay further down the coast all participants sleep out in the open. and we're not really all that nervous i just hope i won't be cold because we'll

probably be going for 3 hours. but if i don't mind the weather because we'll be in the water or diving most of the time i hope. the weather and the underwater currents are important factors to consider sea truckers sometimes swim several kilometers per day and occasionally put in free diving stops. you can go see trekking pretty much anywhere. of course we had to wild coastal regions because there's such an incredible gift and experience of nature. the lonely islands where no one else ever goes. you spend the night in the jungle and the next day you dive right back good to the coral reefs. the workshop participants swim about 2 kilometers to a bait that can only be reached by water.

during a sudden rain shower they set up their camp and make a fire. if they can you see trekking is all about being in nature though giving something back it's such a gift to be able to carry it through. unfortunately the next day the weather has worsened and swimming back through the. the waves he's hard work. live once they've made it everyone's really happy. hearted guy this was a great tour even though the sea was a bit rough i have to say this was a great trip from our home from the gulf we learned a lot they showed us a lot of things since i often find some of the sea checking is an exceptional way of getting around i definitely do it again with a different kind of woman. and after this nature trip most participants are also happy to return to civilization.

and with that we wrap up this special edition of euro max now don't forget to follow us on facebook or go to our own website to see the reports again as always thanks for tuning in o.c. gets their.

meaning. heartbeats for animal funds always go on she's provided a home to more than $800.00 creatures. but her dedication actually goes much further and it always has for her entire life. believes it was a jungle born again and inspirational on a. global 3000. totally.

different on the islands of. here women are in charge. of the archipelago as a victory a local system for centuries. of society do it. differently. what do they do with their power. the queens of rango. inside the summit w. international women's day. they are making women visible around the world their voices protest especially now because the sentiment is exacerbating inequality kamui so chasing women who are fighting for themselves determine life and demanding change. africa

will be developed when a guy is given the rights and justice led the boys. the women who fight i am the man not just on international women. on g.w. no. welcome to global 3000. women have been campaigning for their rights for more than 170 years but it wasn't until the 20th century that things started to change when for example the right to vote was introduced in several european countries. but we're still a long way from true equality even today many countries have laws and regulations

in place which discriminate against women and there are regular steps backwards to . but increasing numbers of women around the world a standing up for themselves. the coronavirus pandemic has revealed just how big the task is a research conducted by the international monetary fund revealed that recent lock downs have been particularly tough for women and that's partly because it's women who commonly work in social roles often as caregivers and in 2020 there were fewer job openings in these sectors. even in industrial countries it can be hard for women to find work in certain sectors it's even tougher when traditional ideals and beliefs are added into the mix some women in iran approving it is possible like those on the island of handgun in the persian gulf. for patients is of the essence. every day she waits patiently with her fishing line out on the open

sea her grandfather told her to fish as a child. i think i was in the 3rd grade when i 1st really wanted to learn how to fish i went out all the time back then and we cut many different kinds of fish. you know. the woman at the helm mother her own often comes along to. the catches aren't nearly as big as they were in the past but it doesn't still get excited about each and every one. yet. what we do here is a very hard work it's not work that's usually associated with women but the women of the hanger island fish just like the men do their. island lies in the persian gulf near the strait of hormuz the region is the world's most important oil

artery as well as a stage for international disputes including conflicts. global tensions that all affect the fishing community there. these circumstances all have an impact on us we all live with a sense of unease and you worry about what might happen tomorrow what will we come up against in the future i mean. residents on him island have lived from fishing for years the lack of fertile land means farming is not an option. only 500 people live on so it's all hands on deck. says it doesn't matter if they are men or women she's one of the oldest fish or women on the island and she currently has a problem her engine is broken she says low quality fuel and sexist officials are responsible. as if i could buy some surprise if your with my fishing license the

fuel i buy would be of better quality without a license i have to pay a lot more and it's just too expensive. according to her about the no woman has ever had a fishing license she pays twice as much for gas as male fishes even though she's been doing the same work as them for more than 30 years. official say we're not really fishers and that we're just doing it as a hobby so the women here are just fishing for fun oh you've seen yourself that fishing is our job here on hunger island. but things are starting to change tourists from the mainland have now discovered hang on and they come for dolphin watching and to take a breather. they're not only ignoring the corona pandemic but also many regulations imposed by the iranian government. the women on the island

are now selling their own crafts as well as a good deal of kitsch from china. asm has understood for a while that tourism and fishing can go hand in hand she runs a small restaurant and serves her fish to visitors. her grandmother looks after both of her children. what exactly her husband does remains unclear. the fact of the matter is that here everything is done by women. you don't know what the one hand it's not like this everywhere in iran many people still regard women as incapable we want to show them that men and women are equals we compliment each other we can do everything a man can do and we want to prove that to everyone but family. business is going pretty well as some profits from the local culture because for many on the mainland

it seems exotic. besides that the majority of iranians can no longer afford to travel outside the country. the dollar tells us that this persian gulf island is an affordable alternative she and her friends are backpacking and it's their 1st time here. benjamin britten. i really like it here especially the people they're so friendly and lively and i like that everything feels a bit more free here but yeah at the end of the day the rules are still in place so it's all relative. ok there. we meet up with her again the fisher woman whose boat broke down. she set up a small drink stand on the beach right by the tourist trade. even though this town

provides him with a stunning view of the sea she's still not totally happy with things. more than me i thank god i can earn my living like this but it's still not like it was when i was out at sea nothing can replace fishing it gives me a lot of peace and it just makes me feel complete. i also installed also continue to revolve around fishing regardless of how successful have business with tourists is. but the fact that the women on island have built something of their own despite iran's weak economy will be valuable in the coming years. my goal is to make sure the next generation here can find work work leads to progress and if it also teaches foreigners more about our island that's even better that. they get on their family. as she says goodbye as an tells us that the sea has given her many gifts she hopes she'll never have to leave.

women at the helm when it comes to many important issues too like freedom and equality or our climate emergency. women have made important discoveries or a space pioneer as they've dedicated their lives to animal protection or have risked their lives to fight racism and hatred despite centuries of discrimination and women have often played a huge part in history and they continue to do so with passion humanity and courage . you know when people tell me that they hated most of the don't like dogs or that. you don't know what you're missing forget about innocence or with our loved ones and our families and our friends all over this transaction but this is one relationship between human beings and animals

that is non trans. angeline go for lunch battle for human and animal rights has made her famous throughout india in 2012 she set up this animal sanctuary near delhi. at all creatures great and small she and her team look after some 800 animals. from cattle to dogs guinea pigs to parakeets each one finds a new home with. the animals of come to us. we have closed down illegal circus saw some of the dogs and the horses came from that. so of course some horses were abandoned and we got them full of. things like that bull bull is one of them she arrived as a mere 3 month old at a couple months sanctuary severely injured and deeply traumatized she was

a victim of a feud between 2 villages in which someone put her eyes out in an act of revenge. so delays that we had to change. the way a saucy. what's your source you did with human beings we had to change it to married so that everyone who came to reserve to me while india was here every day someone would be those who could sing i would ask them to sing after about 45 months i started coming outside and then after 6 months she allowed us to tertiary allowed anyone to go in and then we allowed. an animal sanctuary wasn't always part of. agenda the 63 year old is founder and director of naz india a charity which mainly supports young people who are hiv positive and aids sufferers. for me the frightening

aspect was that this was something that wasn't being spoken about which is why it was frightening i saw the infection going from men to men to women and therefore children. it was very clear to me. but no one wanted to address their talk about it so it took a lot of work to make that happen. nance has been active for over 25 years isn't it since adopted the further aim of gaining legal recognition for the community now set up the 1st orphanage for children with hiv and aids in delhi along with the program for empowering young women and decriminalizing homosexuality. that program prompted a long march through the courts to the supreme court itself the judge actually said something as ridiculous as. we're about this give people a miniscule minority. so i'm like going what is your definition of minuscule amount

of b because we want to forget about 10 percent of the population but even to one percent of the population look at durban for members what it is. but for angela there's still an awful lot left to do members of the l g b t community still don't have the same basic rights as the rest of the population. that nature wishing for one thing in particular. i would like to see all of us come together. because when you come together the impact or feel voice is amplified. we're really interested in how people lives in different countries today we meet a couple in kenya. and

i think. how i come to my house. this is my husband tunes and this is our living room. this is a necklace i wish i had because i was given to doing our very special and. this white collar to mean. and with this read there'd be 2 percent cuts asked

for how much they cost. the way moon. didn't even stay for some time because we have been much visit and we are looking up a couple of shapes and as well as comments close i how come no i don't hear so most of the time we i tell best house i talk but today it may have been me or lifetime as only we time we can also comment watch pay t.v. we want to hear what's going on in our country. this is to be i would add a new song but too late for the bees we leave together and they leave behind

a piece well you. or i hate me or at least say we. work. equality in politics education health and earnings there's still a long road ahead if we continue to move at our current pace it'll take another 100 years before we attain real equality between the genders that's according to the 2020 global gender gap report in many countries there's still a big divide when it comes to politics and the economy but there are some nations leading the way among them sweden finland and norway and top of the bunch is iceland with almost 88 percent equality women their have key roles in all areas of society and they have a decisive influence on the country's climate and environmental policies.

what better place to save the planet from global warming than iceland it has energy to spare everywhere the ground is in motion. scientists call it an act of volcanic area. icelanders have long realized that the country's hot springs can serve as much more than just tourist attractions. a half hour's drive east of the capital reykjavik lies the hedley shiv power station it's been generating electricity and heat from steam since 2006 it's become one of the world's biggest geothermal power plants but there's another reason why scientists entrepreneurs and reporters are now flocking here. they want to meet with other dirtier c.e.o. of a company called carfax it's working to reverse the greenhouse effect albeit on

a small scale. basically what's happening is that we are sucking the office fear through this machine and the c o 2 sticks to a specific chemical within. this you know it and so what comes out of that is so much cleaner office here with with what's nowhere near the ground that. they began using this kind of that kim cleaner for carbon dioxide 8 years ago supported in part by e.u. research funds it can now suck up several 1000 tons of the gas in one of the pumping stations out of the tear explains what then happens to the c o 2 so here we have our own underground pipes transporting. busier to that was kept track of the kupchak pot and it is all the water and this is then what we have jet into the subsurface 700 meters underground. the c o 2 then reacts with the basalt rock and is captured and stored there permanently

it's a method that works especially well in the volcanic rock here this is a piece of us off the court we see the c o 2 both feeling base within go within the bus off the fractures but also on the force so gradually this is all movies these film course could feel locked with monopolists you too depending on how much reenter. the technology is still very expensive it also consumes a lot of water and can only be used in specific terrain still car fix is convinced that this technology will eventually help to reduce the amount of c o 2 in the atmosphere worldwide. few countries in the world are feeling the effects of climate change as acutely as iceland it's once mighty glaciers are shrinking continually scientists believe these ice rivers which grew throughout the millennia

will have disappeared within a mere 150 years. so iceland's environment minister is taking action reykjavik aims to make the country c o 2 neutral by 2040 they're turning to new technologies and a belief in ancient stock us. we have these stories in iceland thought trolls became stones when their if they were exposed the sun. has saved us 3 are trying to . turn c o 2 into stone where us troll swear turned into a storm and the medicine. but that alone won't be enough since iceland's canonization 95 percent of its forests have been lost millions of euros are to be invested in reforesting large expanses of the island nation something which should also help the c o 2 atmospheric balance sheet icelanders know they can't save the planet on their own but they're developing technologies that other countries can also employ in the

future and the idea that believing in elves and trolls can also help well we need all the assistance we can get. in this week's global ideas we go to south africa to learn how text breaks can promote nature conservation something that's easier than it sounds south africa is famous for its wild life for the vast areas of almost untouched land now an ngo there is working to turn much of that into nature reserves we met up with 2 of its teams in the can do in the east of the country and chemist grown in the west. no plantations no crops no combine harvesters 88 percent of land in south africa is not suitable for agriculture it's too rugged too dry and too one

even. but everywhere you look you see life in abundance the country boasts rich biodiversity but how best to preserve it in south africa environmental protection is chronically under financed. that's where candace stephens comes in she's a tech specialist at the n.-g. o. wilderness foundation africa she wants to encourage landowners to turn their holdings into nature reserves the government offers a tax incentive to do so. and go with. what you're doing here is looking off to south africa's natural wealth in the public good yes and so there's this unique tax incentive to benefit that biodiversity so even as you plow money time if an energy into looking after the sun

farm is may think you're not getting any other now is a special tax incentive just to give a little bit back this man is already converted his land into a protected area he can write off the cost of the purchase over 25 year period that extra cash and pocket he would be able to to give a little bit more financial sustainability to you in managing this in perpetuity so that you could put a little bit more interest which would be your decision and you know what needs to happen on the side of photographer of course fund of endor purchased the land 5 years ago and has taken countless pictures of the area since then it rarely rains here but when it does the landscape is transformed into a pageant of color. another special feature about this area of land is that it could act as a corridor for wild animals since it's located between 2 different protected areas
