a quick reminder of the top story that whistling for you today. ukraine's national rail service says that russian missiles of hit several stations in a coordinated attack. just alice earlier to help us officials travels by train to keep, to announce extra funding from washington to buy weapons washing data. but he needs from berlin up next close up. looks at how climate change is threatening marine life in the se shells. thanks so much for watching. the w is just a thought say will gray. you rarely

have the paradise beaches of say, shells been so empty. but tourists are now trickling back to these islands in the indian ocean, including from germany. tourism is a major source of income for the islanders, but that revenue is also needed to save this unique nature. time to set off on today's excursion. the 1st group of tourists are waiting out on the catamaran, the tourists that come caea does the limit. the ordinary come in the morning. so

you see it helps fund the project. it gets the conservation was going. when we do tours, we try to add for kids what we are doing here on the island. what's the force of the war? they are on their way to cousin island, where a rare species of bird was saved from extinction. this island is a holiday highlight for many tourists. they were composition mostly because of the beach and also for snorkeling and diving. but this causes a lot of threats to the marion area. call rose, because a lot of pressure. so i think it to be best if we can stabilize a bit with the tourist, but also we need them to continue the economic need them as well. each visitor has to pay the equivalent of $37.00 euros. this feed mainly pays for the rangers. like

dallas, lawrence, he won the african ranger award in 2020. good morning, monday mailers. welcome couple times to show reserves. in order to mention over a small book with officials warbler said that them was closed with a function at the same time but life and finish the knows what the island turn it into a reserve to see if the war for now you have around 3000 or more of the war blow in this issue. okay. the fun part about the fair return is that they don't build in if they just fall a small dent on a branch and delete the egg on. most of the female covers the egg for she will sit there for around $20.00 to $30.00 days. yes, and been billed will come and feed her with fish. otherwise,

if she moves that it's force that the parents will come and fitted with fish will that it will stay there until it learns how to fly. but what myths whose their spare show is the prolog off the island goes hard rock harder off yonder granite but won yes. which is a mixture of birds. hope, sand, water, and all are debrief. and when a solid sides becomes hard as a rock with an area of $27.00 hector's cousin island is among the smaller of the se shells island. but it's home to more than 300000 birds and much more that's as big as they get. and also to easily identify the female. if you look at the back a leg, you can see the toes. yeah. they have a long tools and that helps to dig in the soil lid the eggs. the john thought

though is the can live up to plunder years or more love. okay. fair. and it was lovely to see so many buried sap class. they're not shy either. even the tiny baby baby is not client that are in locust. i meant humans have hardly encroached here on public applies have cleared. if you pass, i put the wood to the side and that's all kind. and there is no concrete just a few cottages by inserting the tourists get back on the boat. but dallas stays behind, soaking in his surroundings and maybe some people with thing, but the birth, doubting, the same thing every day. you see that oil just not the case when you live with them, you learn to appreciate this difference every day. every day, the sun set every day, the sun rise. you see the beauty every single day, every minute, every sega nozzle dial us shows us around as

a passionate ranger. he knows everything about this island, including the bird call to attract, let's say, shells magpie robin. easier monitoring. yeah, we ring each bird with different color like my name is dailee. this is violet blue . i can be shook. think lies the can be blue, orange as well. but this paradise is threatened by more and more extreme weather events during the season of the cisco come to live the egg, which is october. for february, march, we get around $800000.00 to us, coming to the egg. there will come just here in the sand, dig it, and lead the eggs. but with the erosion, it's daunting years to come further up in land. and most of the time the nest will

get to watch away climate change. and the resulting weather are also a threat to the ranger's homes. yeah. under the house, under the house of cause of erosion which happened last year. and now we're just trying to stuck up some rocks. dallas would like his african ranger award to be shared by the whole team. for him, it's about more than a prize to be able to win bout ranger award. that has become huge. as it has put social on the map in terms of conservation of why life nature conservation is valuable in itself. but it's also become a selling point for tourists and something that justifies the high costs of staying on the archipelago of vacation and paradise is expensive. but tourists are willing to pay for it along side them. the people of se shells celebrate their creole

culture and language. a few kilometers away to people are getting ready for their big day. just some final preparations and they'll be ready to take their 1st steps into married life bar away from their home in austria. yes, to help said, we wanted our wedding to be something special and we wanted to get away somewhere where we could be alone. and by the c one, i don't think there's any place more beautiful when i don't regret it. i do it again and again. i school those with him of. he does a lot. it couldn't be any easier. the registrar joined them right there on the beach. today is the beginning of a new chapter. and today i read you loud. in a few minutes. you will walk how from yeah,

as husband and wife ready at the best time to of the married 151395, you leave with the la la me. and i ride in. follow the yes god comes if a lot of bookings are coming in right now. we've caught up a lot of tradition. of course there's still a void. that's not a field. but i am optimistic that things will keep progressing by people will keep poking and will do fine for a wedding package. costs around

a $1000.00 euros and covers everything from the photographer to the coconut drinks . yep. as an incident, i searched online for places to get mary just the 2 of us and say, shells came up 1st to say we also looked into malicious and some other options with the name. let's take another photo through the tree and then we'll head over to the rocks. as a demise, most couples who get married with us come simply to enjoy the moment, denise, and because it beautiful not sure of st. charles is paradoxes, you can't deny it. no matter how many times you visit to lighten people come once and then keep coming back, because it's so pretty much there's always something new to discover that noise.

a wedding shootin se shells wouldn't be complete without a photo at sunset. a site that tourists on the next beach over are enjoying to tourism provides the main source of income for the archipelago. se shells is also a haven for the super rich, as well as tax editors. but that's another story. the capital city of victoria is small and modest. after all, the total population of se shells is less than $100000.00. 1 of the islands residence is both a priest and the president. the reason why this sport was chosen as these faith. from here you could see all the, all the, you know, islands, mr. any. the one who did the cool. he was of it as scared of himself. so he got all

those trees blunted. susan to block off steak house that sunset. monday is monday. i can waive will rum color one a head of state, so approachable. he even brings us along into his office. he's passionate about nature conservation and he so ministry of agriculture, climate change and environment. so these are that that's how we've combine them because of our size, the min attraction is tourism to res, wanting the see sun and send. these are the 3 men items that they come for. and this also makes us, sir, quite vulnerable, because we cannot go into industrialization because we simply too small and covey daughters that we had put to maybe too much emphasis on,

on tourism. so when cove id hate to, we were basically on our literally on our knees, the country's income was next to 0. the australian high commissioner to say shells is on her 1st official visit to the archipelago. she is also responsible for more issues, madagascar, and cameras. all places that are threatened by climate change when there's a rise in c temperature or in temperature in general, we feel you directly as a couple of years back, a revenue and stuff cycles and we lost over 90 percent of our corals through bleaching. it is time for, for those who are more responsible for the destruction of the planet to, to play their role and not just sue because they are powerful nations,

just to continue treating others as a, as the poor neighbor, basically. but for them to put their money where the mouth is, don't just come and give us lectures on climate change. we are fighting for all a survival c grass could help in that fight. the plant works small miracles against climate damaging c o 2. whether that's here on the coast to the main island, or far out at sea in a protected area. shared with maurice. yes. it's an area larger than switzerland and international scientists say it can store more carbon than a terrestrial forest of the same size. yeah, but it, this group of researchers is meeting to survey the sea grass meadows of say, shells for a new project. we realized that see glass glass doors, organic carbon facials wants to i use protection of cigarettes as part of their in

dc. and so by agreeing to protect the c graph uh, within the is that a faceoff than they are helping to sequester carbon out of the atmosphere. most people are aware of climate change, but it's less widely known that c o 2 can be pulled out of the air and stored. and what's more, that sea grass can sequester carbon 30 times faster than a rain forest. and it's believed these underwater meadows can last thousands of years. it left alone. the sea grass is related to terrestrial plants and their flowering plants. so they actually have flowers and pollen under water. so they're quite advanced plants. whereas, and there's only about maybe, oh gosh, i 70 species in the whole world. probably about it doesn't. she is here say shells is protecting and natural heritage that's already been lost elsewhere. britain has

lost more than 90 percent of its c grass meadows. that's another reason why say shells once conservation to be measured because science can argue its case in numbers. we could collect these cores peripheral, hopefully about a meter deep. and then you take the car back and you chop it up and, and do carbon analysis on it. and then based on a combination of what's in the gentleman course and the area of cigarettes that we determine based on our mapping, then we can come up with an estimate of how much carbon r c glasses and say, shells i sequestering which would then helps climate change in water. these tests are always a race against time. because of the islands, high temperatures needs to be put into a fridge because what we want to see the organ galban, which is going thing in the yoga meta. and if we leave it too long,

in most environments, you know, in the heat on the bacteria will do, they'll job and digest old the snyder. and the only thing you do facials is very interested in the environment. i mean, i've been working with a shelf in 1981, and it's really been a remarkable to watch out that the attitude towards environment has, has shifted over the years to the point that i think failed with one of the leaders of the world really in terms of being interested in biodiversity and preservation of the environment. facial can be a model for other countries. it's not only scientists who are conscientious of the environment here. a group of women meets regularly to collect, see week that's washed up on shore. so can be put to good use

myrna jill is proud that she and the other women are doing something meaningful for the islands. a spot of us issue alive, the see ways is day. what we do, we, let's see with we have to do something, we'd be done. what justice for the way we have make the compost happy, empower the woman to get some law financial, an income for the home. then we also have been to clean dod young, violent one to maintain the environment. it's all, everything sweeping, collecting bagging the women around here nearly every saturday. sometimes the whole family comes along. the important thing is that everyone has fun. once the pickup truck is full, it's off to the compost pile. not only preparing dom, let's see. we the, for the campus. we supple,

assess you how to put sa must be we saw melinda. then you put the series and you put sa mcgrath. then you put does seaweeds against and how many layer that you wish us up to one month's, you have to turn it. then let the process continue. myrna jill is a teacher earning the equivalent of less than $900.00 euros a month. not much in a country where so much is imported and costly. the homemade fertilizer comes in handy, of our ideal satellites are from death from the sieve from robbie to and also from the cal anomaly. i start with the fertilizer from the c, a c with. then for small plants, then i use some money from the, from de robbie to or from the hey know from the cow. i use it because for small blunt you have to use the c facility. he's very good. it's sunday and the president and 1st lady of se shells are heading to church

waiver rum color one is deeply concerned about climate change. my house is not next to the see right now. i oversee the capital, but i will say to myself, but with, with the, with things are going. the rise in sea level though the mid atlantic islands already being severely affected by coastal erosion. there are some, some places where over the last 50 years or so we've lost up to 20 meters of land and dec. furthermore, the, the outlier outer islands are, are even more affected because they are just, they don't have rocks to, to act as a barrier. it's only send and in the same way that they were created. it's easy for the see just to take back the sand to day we talk officials as a 115 island archipelago. as i can tell you,

there are certain certain islands that are starting to, to disappear. so who knows? in the next 250 years, what might happen? they arrive at saint luke's church. rom, calon, pushed for it to be renovated 10 years ago. after his mother passed away, even today, he would still rather be here, then in the big cathedral in the city. if somebody was very down to her, very humble, i would say, and he's got a very good sense of humor. one boy, now and for it isn't even as president, he continues to preside over funerals and blessed children in the congregation.

first and foremost a brisk. so when did they? oh, call me father or andrea. they don't call me president. i. we are. servants was gone . and so what are the expectations? the expectations on me is to ensure that my brother, my sister, gets the best in that i fight poverty. i fight in just this that there is famous. and if this is what serving god is all about. now, what are the expectations all full of politics? politics should also be doing the same thing.

back down by the c r 2 fishing ports. this one is the industrial port. tuna is brought ashore here, most of it to end up in cans. it's mainly caught by large ships from e. u. countries, spain and france. tuna is a valuable fish. but here it's treated like a cheap mass produced item. next door is the port of the local fishers with their small boats. they mainly catch yellowfin tuna. it can bring in 5 times as much as the use mass produced canned goods. partly because it's been more sustainably. lou to portray knows the hard work that goes into it. we have to trace up the shade of very poorly. he has limited job russell. that's offered on that because you, viper, fly,

we have been very carefully did each him many and say shells would prefer to see less fish go to industries and far away europe. but local young people often don't want to take on this demanding job, even if it pays well. the fish is processed very carefully with regular temperature checks. i meant them to check on for a very crucial. we have to ensure that the product is within gets up to the center, which i mean it has been kept in that sheila, well, when i went back on i sheila, on humans getting a very good temper taken

from each chew now being cleaned. i believe i'm not sure that you're not good to be exported to the crown. so after they finish the tip of the back in the recall and the packing of fish to be explored to, to friend med jeff and canada. the blue shield, though, with 11 shipment company said the truck went load sentra directly that invoice to the airport across from the fishing port is the coast guard pier captain. lyndon le blush is supervising the departure maneuver of the largest patrol vessel here. the s c t s 0

esther. it deals with a legal fishing which is also part of nature conservation. lieutenant luigi lozzo instructs the task force. so what we usually see during this time is that there's an increase activity of fishing activities. all of the socials region and it's all role and responsibility to get out there and make sure that we don't have any on license on registered or illegal fishing happening. and we don't do this vall, selma, we walk in partnership with the sales fishing authority. and together we go out and conduct these that we call them the fisheries boarding, just off the main island of my hey, a fishing boat has aroused suspicion lieutenant low. so tries to make contact with the position 01 degrees, 28 minutes south, the 0 by 5 degrees at 21 minutes. this is the seizures was gonna wash about coming on the bus

with for 9 hours, no response. ah sure. it's only a small boat, but every one is subject to the regulations a. oh i hm. they called the boat but got no response. so an inflatable raft, with armed special forces and fishery officials, heads over fighting the illegal fishing trade is no easy task. i'm by my work line went up with

your benefits. you're gonna find it on, you know, a everything on the god. commend ahmad license on lot everything on board again, bonnie: with i love that get much problem with them. yes. and florida. yes, maddie gosh yolanda tomorrow's yam. it's just a local fishing boat. they get into trouble if they over fish. but the huge e vessels further out are completely legal. the waters quieted down for a while due to the pandemic, but things are ramping up again. having a bless you don't, i was i again because there's been less activity on the water and it's easier to been void. those are, might be conducting some lucy doc cbt. so i guess it, due to the gulf viewed as being a blessing can occur. yeah. the location of se shells is also

a blessing that could one day become a curse. if climate change brings more extreme weather events, if islands sink due to rising sea levels or if protective, coral reefs die off. this tropical paradise is at risk and without help, it may not survive. mm. sometimes books are more exciting than real life raring to read. oh. but what if there's no escape? do w literature list 100 german ma street on the green. do

you feel worried about the planet we to on mill host or be on the green transpose coast? and to me, it's clear we need to change the solutions or out the join me for a deep dive into the green transformation for me to do for the band. with this week on world stories. odessa, safety in the catacombs, germany, russian monks sheltering ukrainians. we began in your pin in northern ukraine. russian troops have withdrawn from the area near key of but things were main tents . still, europeans residents are planning the reconstruction of their city.
