7:03 am
madge to our oceans ecosystems on average, one tanka is shipwrecked to every week out on the water and lies abandoned on the ocean floor. with the 1989 exxon valdez disaster in the gulf of alaska was one of the worst ever one. it spelled almost 40000 tons of crude oil into the safe, leaving more than 2000 kilometers of coastline contaminated and killing hundreds of thousands of fish, sea birds, and other animals. the local ecosystem has still not fully recovered. but most of the oil pollution in our ations comes from land sewage and a legal oil dumping by ships. 2 this shaky video was filmed secretly inside of a think of ship secretly, because he shows something that should not be there. did you see it?
7:04 am
that's what it again. there it is. ah, this is a bill to bump. chips use it to illegally dump toxic waste in the ocean. this bracket is, is called belt dumping and it's causing one of the worst environmental disasters, etc. so what is builds dumping and why are we not stopping? oh, 1st let's look at what builds water is, builds is the lowest spot of a ship where the 2 sites meet, builds water is the water that accumulates here, except it's not exactly water. ships of this size are massive machines with lobby intake, pipe systems, engines bigger than coats, buses, burning streams of heavy fuel oil. the pipes can leak, the oil can spill, and the engines need cooling and cleaning. all these liquids are collected in the
7:05 am
built and it's not a nice view. we know very well that oil can tropic kill animals, well builds water contains volume, diluted with water plus various chemicals and heavy metals are you can suffocate and intoxicate fish and birds. and even if they survive, their offspring might not. pages the heart of a normal, healthy fish larva is that of a larva exposed to oil, the result, a smaller heart and lower heart beat and lower chances of surviving. the water is so toxic that it has been regulated for more than 50 years. this is a problem that has been personally bothering me for most of my career. this is john amos. he found out about the build dumping problem 20 years ago when he found the sky truth for a nonprofit organization that uses satellite imagery to shine
7:06 am
a spotlight on environmental issues around the world. and more precisely radar satellites, which 20 years ago, where very new technology, we regularly see these dark streaks on the water. we're not natural that often had a big ship the vessel at the n. enter builds dumping in at the time. looking at those slicks, there was no way for us to identify the vessels that were responsible. it could take hours for the satellite to send an image. by the time the received the vessel was a long gone, it was an extremely frustrating thing, but everything changed with a i s that is automatic identification system, it's use is also required by international law, so that vessels can avoid running each other. ships are now required to transmit
7:07 am
their position with a radio signal. satellites can pick up the signal and record the movement of every ship. you know the exact time in the exact place from that satellite. and then we can find the broadcast, the match that most closely in space and time. and when we put it on the screen, we had a clear match of that of one track. clearly matching the path of the flick for this investigation. algorithms were trained to automatically recognize potential spills in one year we found 1500 potential damped in you waters alone. the whole done. this weighs roughly equivalent to 5 times the 989 exxon valdez spiel. one of the worst marine environment, even worse deaths, a conservative estimate, and even wars, hardly anybody knows about it in the even worse phases of deliberate practice. so
7:08 am
why are we not holding companies accountable? there are other features on radar satellite imagery that can look like an oil slick . it could be caused by ships carrying fish, oil, vegetable oil, or by other element. it's not sufficient at this point in any courts of law that i'm aware of. but in combination with other things, it can be powerful accessory evidence to help make a legal case to be taken as proof. a visual confirmation must come from someone on the ground. hello, hampton, nice to meet you. we are, he had to carry out a marble inspection. there are chew parts of these inspections. first, a very tedious one and then
7:09 am
a very noisy one. the bids water is collected down here. ah, the section is over a move. so captain, that's the attachment about on spectrum all with no disease. thank you. no problem at this time. but that doesn't mean builds dumping isn't happening. yeah. vocalist guns. good. now we look really deep into it and try to always be up to speed and to know where the manipulation could be. i think we have a high standard, but we can never uncover a 100 percent of them. my something close got, it's only inspect the fraction of the ships and only check those already docked in a board. nothing nice easy where the dumping occurs. but there's some one else on the ground that can confirm what satellites reveal. someone who follows this ships wherever they go. whistle blowers.
7:10 am
hello, a hello. how are you? i'm good little the ways, how are you? i'm good. this is one of fine whistleblowers we talked with. we decided to withhold his name to protect his identity. thanks to his description, we build a 3 d model of foul builds. dumping works here is the build stick and here is the notorious build to pump. so what we did was a speed bump. who transferred from the bench to another. don carlos the impact on the bus, but the doctor stuck only clean liquid comes into it and rehab facility, misjudged the contents of a and here you have it benz dumping one. a one of the id is fill. these bumps are designed to prevent oil pollution. so the purpose of
7:11 am
these are actually to collect oil from the ocean on, but i don't think we'll say spears, but di to me is that they use the same phone for seductive. such activities also tend to happen when there's bad weather. so does the vehicle anything and night take it easy, the dog and old too often. it is definitely the non it is expected that everyone been silently participate in florida. there was a writer about just orders. one gets used word one, but not every one. whistle blowers like him, i still horrified enough and brave enough to speak up so unless so that someone on board, if it got someone without insight at their testimonies are crucial for investigations like this. but we shouldn't have to rely on their courage to protect our ocean. oh, northern india is among those regions already heavily affected by the climate
7:12 am
deserved vacation is dramatically on the rise. the indian state of righteous town is home to more than 70000000 people. he could face water scarcity in future. in this week's global ideas, we had to the outskirts of b, kenny to meet a man who wants to sell platt with the help of his family. roger son in northern india, temperatures here regularly, sore above 45 degrees celsius and the heat waves are getting longer. a consequence of climate change says she m cylinder gianni. for years he's been observing how the extreme conditions have caused the expansion of desert. scarcity of water is a big concern of desert because they don't have ground water because it is in very deft and also,
7:13 am
i'm not good in quality. it is not usable. and as far as it is concerned, every year we receive minimum rainfall in this area. shams under gianni, didn't want to sit back and do nothing. so in his spare time, he travels to villages to give away free saplings of ancient indigenous fruit trees . these plans can ride in the harsh climate or the car. today he's visiting the school at pandora's village. he urges the villagers to take care of the trees so that they grow to provide shade and fruit. much stops after plantations, but generally people can see they're better than we did blan vision. it's all that . but the, the visa that no, no, of a responsibility starts from that point. so i requested them to consider that no
7:14 am
other responsibility has indeed, and we have the little all siblings as a green my middle family big and ready with the limit. these trees will give us fresh air to breathe and fruit 2 years. we've learned that trees need to be treated as members of our family . only then can they same our planet shall put out with that. i will to day bounder on villagers are also being given a tree each to take home once planted their water with waste water. she em cinder gianni named his organization for meal you forestry. after the idea it was founded on it all started back in 2003 when she em cylinder gianni was a young sociology professor working at a college and because the few trees on the campus grounds were almost dead along with his students, he saved them and replaced them with saplings from then on, the students cared for the trees. the next step came a few years ago. in 2013,
7:15 am
we started no lament of institutional for us then. we started plantation over there . you can see busy this expected of land and having more than 3000 vehicles ward management and 100 different that i did. it is most davis institutional forest in any education institute over i just done. need madonna. she comes under gianni piece for the seedlings out of his own pocket. he often ends of spending a large portion of his salary. while his peers focus on advancing their careers, he invests his time and energy in familial forestry. the dedication sometimes makes things hard for his wife karita she often has to look after their 2 daughters alone. my money is often tight at the end of the month though, so get him, giovanni,
7:16 am
thank you. bye bye. so people with similar jobs living and luxurious lives, but they celebrate their children's birthdays and restaurants. drive big currency bought, have their own houses, guardian. actually, that's how i imagined our lives would be. you when me talking, how may be as a whole. she, i'm cylinder. gianni has planted more than 3000000 seedlings in the villages of rogers found in recent years. for a long time. his commitment and efforts went unnoticed by the public and authorities. but press now turn up at the tree plantings wanting interview. the familiar forestry is recognized with the land for life award by a un organization that fights to prevent to certification worldwide. the human ccd . i've seen many activities that you're donate a tree and then somebody else takes care of the tree on your behalf. but the idea of a new year for a c e, i see a tree as a member of the family year. will cultivate that careful in the tree,
7:17 am
their food or the survival rate of the trees in that region where familiar were history. planchet is significant, significantly high. yeah. he's hoping the award will attract donors and financial support. he sees the indigenous fruit trees as crucial to stop arid desert areas expanding and keeping villagers from malnutrition. and he points out yet another benefit. his work brings food bearing thies, eclipse, biodiversity. it increases biodiversity also because these trees at red butterflies, small insects pollinators, even worse. so my, this way we can increase and we can as for picked out of iowa city. also. she and sunday gianni has another idea that he's trumped up for a long time,
7:18 am
planting trees along road sides in india's sprawling cities. where space is scarce, urban populations are in need of clean air and more vitamin packed fruit, as well as here. ah the olympic agin, oh, they all had their eye on the summit. the 1st female mountaineers in the early 20th century. for many of them, it was not just about the climbing, but also about succeeding in a male dominated activity. most of these alpine mountaineers were from the upper classes scaling the heights was an expensive undertaking. and just how topical climbing still is as a symbol of self determination and the discarding of outdated gender. rose is clear from this report from bolivia, venture farther up, the mountains, past le pass, and you will enter a hidden world. in the city of al alto, believe he has highland indigenous people have built their own secret settlement olenick his b as an avid climber and needs
7:19 am
a sacrificial offering for the god of the mountain. she's come to a so called witch's store, where from dead baby animals to herbs and ointments. customers can choose from all manner of items for divine and good fortune. alina crispy asked for an offering specifically to please the mountain deity. the arrangements of the cocoa leaves herbs and sugar icing figures is in itself a religious ritual. that emotion, we asked permission for much at sheila, the mountain god. so that we may all make it to the top without any problems, seeming won't, will blame my thought of gig him with a laugh. one for this we always make an offering to the mountain alone. one thing, the witches stores seemed like a window into another world, one barely disturbed by european colonialism. why human elements of familiar but the remedies entirely different. where respect for the gods of nature matters is absolutely vital. behind the modern facades of alto,
7:20 am
sometimes entire streets are covered in the smoke of sacrificial fires. there are available for rent to appease the old gods for whatever's troubling you. these are ancient rituals that the spanish missionaries could never to spell it. jesus always looks the other way. elaina is one of 142 liters escalade doris. indigenous women who climb mountains. a minor revolution perhaps because in bolivia, this has traditionally been a male domain. since the 2 liters have been going up the mountains, they've become an inspiration for many of the women and found that they go climbing with their traditional scouts on is can they make his proud their hard working and brave bolivian women elian? yes, he said he laughing out, i see, but that's also true for the women who so vegetables here,
7:21 am
whether it's hot or cold. so that is how we faced a daily struggle to achieve things. the struggle of the women and sca demo solidarity is essential. women faced widespread discrimination in bolivia. that's why here on top of the andes, the charlie took a keen to set an example. wearing mountaineering boots as the only concession to the harsh conditions, no matter how much easier scaling the mountains, may be and conventional climbing gear. for elena, his space, it's important to prove that they can do it in traditional dress. when a particular yaki he'll give, i'm wearing a petticoat and have 4 layers on right now. either he won those 23, and 4 years this c, m, and this is the skirt that we always keep on because we've been wearing it since we were little we're very proud of being able to climb with our skirts. honestly, for that is a little up for yet
7:22 am
a thing dawning their customary dress before scaling the mountain makes them feel free and independent. women in bolivia are off not taken seriously, especially when they were traditional costumes. many men say their places in the kitchen, an attitude that helena crispy and her friends also grew up with. for them, life in the highlands amounted to cooking and helping to carry things. but the mountain peaks were taboo, unreachable. the base camp was as far as they could go and then with the facilities below. yeah, the m which is going as well as ian was, was, you know, this year when we started climbing and there was a lot of prejudice. estella never said that he didn't, we were told the snow would melt before we climbed mountain. amiable gay. so lament there last, there was a lot of machismo even a lot, because until then, early men climb the mountains left mid us. but i logged out in as her last see my
7:23 am
luck, wally. that's why we were determined to reach the top level on the to conquer the summit and show the man live. whether the ski that will yet is there for yet support them. a few years ago, the 1st of them simply defied the rules and joined an expedition to the top of the mountain. their husbands have since learned to accept this new development. and so to day the women only need the blessing of patch her mama, mother earth, and utter chilla the mountain god. and for that they brought along a sacrificial offering. it's 3 am when the 2 liters and the reporters accompanying them, leave the base come with conditions still bitterly cold during the night time. frost, the ice of the steep glacier that they have to cross is at its hardest. there's no stop until dawn. as the 2 liters systematically work their way up the mountain. for those who are not acclimatized 5000 meters above sea level, every step becomes torture. from this point on,
7:24 am
they really notice the decreasing oxygen and every breath they take. 7 hours later, they reached their destination, the summit of 5330 meters. ah, the cheers go to the mountain god, who was once again merciful. merciful, also, to the non locals, entire relief. a 1st smile of the day and the exhausted realization that this really is not their world. this is the world of the cheerleaders escalade doris. but i am as of this, we input that's really important for us to come to the summit in our traditional costume and that our skirts flutter in the wind myself for years in the mountains, we are happy there as if the flying is that if
7:25 am
a lease goes to get us with free and empowered, at least up here. but it still progress far removed from the everyday lives of many women in bolivia, down below in the shadow of the mountains. ah, for this weeks global living rooms we had to cameroon. a with awful hello the welcome to my living room. coincide with well say, hey guys, this is my home washy. i,
