and i want to see a book that actually ended directly responsible for our father saw my father, magna metta has responded with a statement saying the company is working with experts in ethiopia to find and to lead hate speech. there. they did not say why their system appears to have failed. professor murray ride, you're up to date and you're also still watching due to be news up. next we have our doc film program, the north drift, which takes a look at how plastic ends up in the arctic. and remember, there's much more news on her website. that's d w dot com. i'm aaron chilton. berlin, thanks for tuning in our games on the melting ice a reporter tracks down the arctics major players. and the if you see something that looked like james bond,

it has to do with the military part. starts december 23rd on d w. ah. i've always been drawn to the far north, pristine nature and escape from civilization. ah. almost like being on another planet. at least that's what i thought you come and help me out here in just a 2nd there. ah,

this is horrible. you see here becoming a plastic akela, sorrow. the whole earth is just so this, these layers that different generation, if you would just figure out how much plastic there is just along this little coastline, is hot breaking that everywhere visit thick. and now i'm here helping in in you it pick up garbage on a deserted island in the arctic ocean. and not just a little a lot, the rack this across it and i, i live in a health soon so it is, you look at how the color of this and i want to touch this looks like it's from u. k. miss bruckner. this is a boy,

maybe that's not a very to reagan expression. it looks like it's been in the ocean for very long side to had with her. ah okay, it's running slow us, man, i'm a 7 cornice. my name is stephanie cornel. i'm a filmmaker from dresden. most of my work has been in advertising. these jobs have taken me around the globe, including to low fulton in arctic, norway,

which is where i gotta know chris lewis, the ensign. he's a local and we worked together on a film. we hit it off right away. one day he took me kayaking. we paddled to an island in the middle of the arctic ocean. it's inaccessible by foot. i think we've all seen pictures of polluted beaches before, but so much plastic waste in the arctic. i had no idea yet. ah, this is louis with ida standing at miss matthews. and there was even a german b, a bullshit with russia, in the middle of the arctic clifton in october line. and now when i walked

through the streets in germany, again, i see garbage everywhere. it's like something changed. i didn't notice it before, and it makes me crazy. because i don't want the garbage to end up in the arctic. but how likely is it to end up in the arctic? the garbage would have to drift downstream about 600 kilometers to hamburg and from there to the north sea. then the atlantic, in the end, a piece of plastic would have to have traveled over 2500 kilometers to end up near chris in the arctic. so i, so i started doing research session the northern up north in here,

then out there. from down here. of course it would be really wild if it did come from the east and current home. if i release a bottle in the in the german river, alba, across the coastline, could it end up in the arctic? if you release a bottle on the german coast line and it stays afloat, the chances that it ends up in the arctic i think would be 95 percent. i am eric pennsville and i'm a climate physicist, an oceanographer here at utrecht university. now what happens to a piece of plastic or something that you throw in the ocean is slightly more complicated, a piece of plastic and also sing to the sea floor. it can also end up beach. so there's ample opportunity for a piece of plastic to not end up in the arctic, but get stung. and unfortunately, we don't know, we don't have food enough simulations or models and theory yet to exactly calculate what the probability is in reality,

something to go from germany all the way into the arctic. because what we found out a few years ago is that the amount of plastic that is currently drifting at the surface of the ocean is probably less than one percent of all the plastic that has ever gone into the ocean. so 20 times more classic enters the ocean in a single year than we can now account for at the surface of the ocean. 99 percent of all the plastic is probably missing. so domain name now is to figure out where the plastic is or so been healthy. dear. com. and so i came up with the idea of simply taking a bottle, feeding it with a gps transmitter and watching what happened to them. but i needed help

with i law bennett my not once organ. when i asked my neighbor, i knew he was studying technical design at the dresden university of technology. paula, his name is paul vice. i thought, hey, he's a tinkerer and a real tech head, or i'll ask him and i'm taking to his simplest idea, was to build a 3 d models, which i would then have printed them, whatever. you can then just put the gps tracker inside a seal and thompson on also saudi. i idea that's the planned and now it's just a matter of trying to

correct yeah, here we are. following up down there at the loveseat. i think i'll walk for the off. can i? well i'm excited. ok. ready? okay, ready. all right. ok. oh and one i fly to on 3 by

oh, i didn't mind he wants to hear the bottle story, terence. oh, i see flashes, i'm sorry. yeah. no idea what the bottle supposed to be. i'm still getting a gps signal. i was right there at the spot that the bottles just not there. the flashes, i'm not mr. dixon does not have i think so. i think maybe it filled up and it's now on the water. i well i got a lot of rocks that we have moved, piles of garbage instead, right where my bottle supposed to be more garbage. moreover, full trash cans was. but do you know what i found? but he is another message in a bottle. what? so what?

i'll have to break it open. do you have a double eye? because he did a broken trash can with pe, you glad you found my message in a bottle. i drew this picture for you. my name's carlos. i'm 5 years old and i live in dresden. i would be very happy to get a letter from you. sonny greetings, carlo. carlo did a nice job with 36 kilometers later. i realized that this is all more complicated than i thought. our 1st drifter was a flop, but hey, at least i've got a new pen pal. i. so for me like the so we needed

a new boy, miss the one that wouldn't sink on. we also needed more battery powered solar. maybe somebody who does the law. does. i'm a contract. i'm almost forever. that would be cool. circ, we're nasty . p 68. it's unthinkable is info all ah ah, you see the water space that's bad. stop

him and i think we have to redo it all. think if i am to explain myself, i would say my name is christian. 32 year old. i am have greenland, my mother site and a half danish, the weekend, my father's foot. and so i've always been very fascinated with yours. that's the element that i feel at home. my clean and the past. something that i need visited when i was with 1st time i remember

there was baptism, but i only have fragments of memory. oh, you know in greenland, if you walked just a 100 meters, you're far from civilization. i never had that idea of moving to the local and i had an idea of traveling all of knowing. after that month, i told my friends, but i'm sorry i'm going to stay here. and i had the toughest to until my my my car broke down and i had no money. the only job i could kid was at the fish factory here. i was living couldn't get ominous from it started at 530 in the middle of the polar winter, the horrible weather for 3 months. and i you being with fin bicycling and have you had to borrow equipment from

people that have like chris and now you have to stuff to borrow your title. just take it. that's the thing about some people say that have a great experience happening. but for me, the 1st formative years and placement, this is what i'm going to do. this is who i am, and this is what i want to do. expand excited shawn as well as the invisibles could turn, it's changed

a bit. but the dawkins and associates, it's different now are fung young. where do i start calling on my friend jonas dish. yesterday with him asked me to, he works at the plastic smithy, heine, the recycle plastic. it's a group that recycles plastic here, set out a sort and shred to plastic waste. hang them, muska cuffed, it can then be melted down again and recast. and i know form things when garbage knew. that's where i came up with these rings in against form, hiding the rings are supposed to support the whole structure of plastic. and we only use a very small amount of plastic. and we use recycle to plastic. so it's basically plastic neutral, classic not high, which is nice and road format as you can find it right here. nature. sure nice. now we have all this garbage residence hall, them, you have it all a told in between the rings. you see these disc, savannah holly is cork, their super sustainable with super buoyancy. it is however,

a bit hard to say how much weight it can carry and for how long, just because even cork absorbs water at some point it must offer me bit float, steeper. now or something or he is the boy in the bulk of land, it was completely under water, a total of 80 kilometers within 3 months from time warner. and on top of that are tracker, it's definitely waterproof and lasts about a year and say $300.00 days. something like that. sorry, that was my day with we eventually learned that the river can carry both our boy and trash a long way, especially when running high pools, new boy allowed us to continually adjust the prototype and fix problems depending on the river levels. our prototypes took around 3 months to cover 80 kilometers

with several brakes along the way. it leaked of improvisation. it's definitely because of the low water levels, the way it's positioned you can tail, it'll probably be carried away again when the levels rise. since he rescued us, that looks pretty good. we decided to build several boys and then set them out along the elbow every 100 kilometers so that there parts could overlap there. good above it. let's get started. it's now 1230 and we have to finish today. edition is fine. i'll start. okay, you gotta. 2 0, wow, this works right.

the laser into the spending, these will be the covers with information like a contact details and the names of the boys sponsors line. unfortunately, the weather's a bit but put into a bit of short on time. come up 515 minutes later, for the workers with ah

couple of it, it's a little after 7 and we really need to get this done today when a healthy ah to

mm hm. i come to cap, here's the captain. on and the guest of honor by natasha finn. hello. oh hello. hello. carlos farmer i found has already tested the boat. i guess i've got the right ready. yep. so that was the captain. you have to tell stuff on what to do. it clerk and sir calla. calla. we're ready. this is of dropped the boy was it and was

in yes. floating below or if we did well, basin one of those. then we go downstream and put one out every 80 to 100 kilometers, so that their roots overlap it against the embassy. and then we wait on them shamela was possessed. ah, was ex 9. 0,

when i have a quick touch of what the project started with the growing scientific interest in the environmental problem with marine letter at some point. you just can't ignore it any more. it's been well then i will when i shouldn't have been mailed. i'm or is anisha and i shall just, i'm a marine biologist. no, i don't have my doctorate quite yet, but i think when the film is finished, if i well that, did it other one bedroom the homeless in may or those before. i mean, of course we found out a lot for us is always the case in science. i know for every question,

answered 3 new questions and we're always the main findings. all that garbage does indeed travel along the north seas main current board. but what we also found out is that gonna be just very susceptible to wind in for them to hungered on that. i'm up where we released him, the boys a total of 3 times a year on those $63410.00. but boys were released in the north sea in the tributaries law and offshore. of, of you look made at the response rate, the literally for 40 percent life, it's actually 43 percent finished in the direction of the current. we know that waste is basically driven into the gym and bang and then more or less along the coast of flights, we call shine and denmark to the north. and then along the norwegian coastline out in the elk take. what do because mean, but this line is not so heavily populated by and that means although the small islands that i think there will be a lot of. okay, so my new business feel,

boys really make it not just to denmark, but it may be that they land some way here unless we just kind of stephen well that they then go out again with a tight and then drift out along the coast. if no, wait, what's the take your doctors we still have an hour right out of that. yeah. another hour. with that we're not crazy. we'll get 90 people from to one live. now we're taking china in total pool and hall. another ambulance the one to talk to you about like no way what we want to do, whether we want to re book it, move it forward. i mean listen to me, new,

do we have dates? we're just love to go on the streets and the very necessary things. she's like getting groceries just need to be as you know, you go out the door. thank you just to still be a good one. 02 years of work and one last minute film. shoot with chris before he moved south to study. and suddenly the world comes to a standstill. down thing is you'd have to climb $10.00 to $14.00 days if you wanted to do the i gotta do gas electric. i've been trying and looking into the government . but it's difficult to get you to know right now. no country is kind of locked in and the only thing moving between orders is plastic and these are dressed. hm.

so what does it stuff, and what is your man? his name is wyatt. so he's a must've got so he rescued it from the water kits. now it's going to help bob. all right. nice to meet you. pretty good. i think it's funny. right. wired. miss wyatt. oh, hauls up dinner on board. okay. bye truth. sylvia . we found this boy from chef and throwing it back. mm hm. oh oh. oh, hello. hi stefan. hi stefan. i just didn't read the name. okay. okay, and i'm hannah and this is my sister marie. and we have from amber campbell,

and we found it came together with an assistant, lena oakley, in the corner. it's a non profit company, again, be ha, yeah, we started doing to clean up some friends and family last year on the phone for stopping. and it grew really quickly, and a lot of people joined till and now we do it regularly. it's looking at a figure, mrs. as it has. uh yes, that's the one that was right at the beginning of the locked down. we got a call that we should throw the boy back in the water and cook oven, and that was super exciting, but it was a bush bund. yeah, yes. and then we went there and then we watched the current little bit 1st. we got some advice. so that i knew exactly where to throw it in audit bestbuy list. i'm alpha when i go for it. yeah. very good. good of if you meet is most banker. all right,

thanks. bye. i found this in the atlantic ocean 5 or 6 years ago, but you can't even tell what it was. it's actually the process of micro plastic formation. all these little crumbs that we see here, they used to be pieces of these larger yellow pieces. this was actually just sitting around in my house. i've only moved it a few times and it's still decomposing. and that's basically what happens in the environment that these larger objects continue to decompose until they become micro plastic. my name is dr. laws good to me. i'm a marine biologist at the alpha big institute in bremo holland. basically i study the reactions of marine animals and ecosystem multiple changing environment. and these changes can be natural, but they can also be caused by humans,

such as climate change or the pollution a object. every plastic object is more or less unique and there is this variety of animals that are sensitive and react in many different ways. the plastic, the effects are basically as diverse as the animal world itself. and what we often observe in many animals is that micro plastics in the tissues will trigger oxidative stress this kind of damages the genetic material and can also damage the facts that are necessary. for example, to build up cell membranes. proteins can also be attacked. i'm creating a sort of inflammation in here on hika research vessel from the alpha vega institute for polar and marine

research. i will now launch the boys ever got it? yeah, yeah. it's been, i think of the thing i am actually pretty optimistic that they'll start moving again when conditions change in and then the tides, the wind, i don't know and then they'll start floating them from, you know, it was the same there, but i can also there was a lot of garbage around it there with that, i think it'll stay there forever. severe. it's heading norton norton knocker garbage was

lose. oh that's one through stigma before breakfast. oh god end up with crazy. when you listen, when they get you find a lot of everywhere. bottles everywhere, crackling even. yeah. they are almost like a finder. they're like garbage. yeah. they were shooting the breeze b. let me this was such a

well, what they actually do in the river. it's really interesting, usually they have a little journey around like maybe 10 hours, but it's interesting sometimes they stop there for like a couple of days and then lower. they start moving it down here. we threw it in and then actually when we through the trip to it, it just went along the curve and then it gets stuck there for a couple of days. maybe even 3 or 4. then it went further to this point that it got stuck again. and then i think yesterday, but the day before it moved again and it went all the way up here with

a until you wish, but you don't begin turning until you mean you'd like it hawkish from what i understood it was war stuck in a pile of mud covered all over, it's really a dumb pm and a lot of see wins this from the is on 2009. crazy so you can tell it might stay there for like even 10 years or whatever. but as soon as there's a lot of water, it just gets taken away because what, what's 10 years of a plastic lifetime? that's just like waiting one month in human lifetime or whatever, right? now, it doesn't grady. my

numbers melanie back ma'am is my name, is melanie bergman silver? i'm a deep sea research on marine litter and climate change in the arctic than fema london in the office that i've had with nancy. twould, besides, the alfred wagner institute has had the house gotten deep sea observatory since 1999, specifically to track the effect of climate change. this includes towed in camera systems which are drive one and a half meters above the sea bed, along the same route every year. the las yard longed as them tracking and data. and we've noticed that we're seeing more and more rubbish on the sea bed. and we took a detailed look at various stations and thousands of images and found that the amount of trash increases sevenfold between 242-017-5000, fiona 5005th since they still gufferson out of what we see is just the tip of the iceberg ones of undefined nickel, plastic soc funding fits. we have also started to quantify micro plastics and found

enormous amounts. i've seen pole at one station there with that teen 1000 particles per kilogram of sediment. other than that exceeded anything we had previously imagined turkish, they had had to streaming . amazing. they come out to do this. oh, i got some interesting news. one has landed in no way. my friend. yes. yes. if i remember right, you told me that you are studying close to also or in also, right? you got from i mean it's,

it's not in the optic yet, but it's pretty close to where you live, man. this is amazing. this is amazing. you guys know it's really cold, remiss. see all of reasons. right. this is a testament because i yeah. so right at the spot in love kill with malaysia. yes. when we got there a show that was about

like shortly there's a lot of different material is really good . ah, yes. with oh, crazy good. look at the guy. all the way from branch to this is plus give it. it is wrecked, man. it is just destroyed on the other side. so it also cuz i'm right now writing, i'm continent printing fasting and their ability to host invasive species. you know

that whenever interested in the ocean you can get your microphone on it. this is exactly the problem, like how it travels and some of the plastic with you along the coast line. no, not even if some boys were still moving, it was clear that german garbage was drifting over way to norway. it just took much longer than expected. okay, so for this is the animation that forgot. so for her, i look forward to it. oh, this one was almost made. i had some of their friends, they're moving red here. says that like those, those 2. now here it stops for you. but in reality, probably what happened is that tiny bits broke off and they could have voice, but they can slowly step by step by step. every time we finish smaller smaller, that's how we get michael plastic in the market. yeah,

i'd say we found over 10000 particles of micro classics liter mounted z. i just typed of this show that apple and micro plastic goes everywhere on. i was, i'm planning in comment and we scientists are relatively united in our opinion that we will no longer be able to get it out. but most of the plastic that is now in the oceans will remain there. much of the large amount of ways will break down into micro plastics, but we won't really get it out. especially not if it is the size of micro plastics from garnishment and couldn't quite make or plastic this one. yeah, exceptions long as all i understood here for yes. yeah. happy i am worried i a study last year showed for example, that micro plastics even pass from the mother of to not yet born fetuses via the placenta to body plot center. one, defender shawna, boyd and a funny stabbing the children are exposed to it before they are even before the

mahogany surveys. and i wonder if they somehow impact their development and fictional changes to some way by and i think to am gaf and that's a note. and i form move because didn't come back just like everyone, regardless of gender, political affiliation, age, you know, every body produces car, bacon. and just because you took out the garbage bag or the garbage on, it is not gone. what happens afterwards? well, what are the consequences for nature for society? if you don't think about adding bengal the same kindly that de la mahan, montana, if you think about it, then it becomes clear very quickly that it is not only an environmental problem, but a social problem. we live in an economic system that is based on continuous growth, a constant increase in production. at some point, we have so much that we can no longer control it behalf, and we're starting to see those effects. it's something that seemed as infinite as

the ocean where we thought everything we through when will never see again, is bringing all that material back to us now. yeah, link is gone so much i thought what and that i think is the most important thing. the plastic is on top of all the auto pressures that we put on the ocean is on top of the ocean warming. the ocean is to the vacation, neosha, overfishing, the noise pollution, all of the other things that we're doing to the ecosystems in the ocean. it could very well be that the plastic is, is that the drop that tips your bucket avenue theory, respiratory. okay. so this a new j p made it's

a very serious one. you know, we have 5 plastic just around the world as fast as accumulating and won't really realize before and 510 years is called a guarantee jaya nathan t no milk water's p, a p as change our most of the coal street will end up eventually more aside, ukraine's technology sector continues to boom with growth of 23 percent last year alone. and natalie,

is it alma and her company are but part of the success story. how is this even possible under conditions like these made injury with on d. w. into the conflict zone with sebastian russia. jewish community has been watching the war in ukraine with mounting alarm. but most of the island fearing state reprisals. a senior figure in the community helped out silence was the moral thinkers, goldschmidt and he was all jews in russia to get out now the conflict zone. 90 minutes on d. w. o . devastated

with our we can with cars carry defective climate change. i mean, felt worldwide before a station in the rain forest continued, carbon dioxide emissions have risen again. young people all over the world are committed to climate protection. what impact will they have? because change doesn't happen on its own. make up your own mind. d. w. late for mines ah, this is d w. news, and these are our top stories. a turkish court has sentence the mayor of his temple to nearly 3 years in prison. effectively banding him from running again for political office.
