also transmitted this message of a deep and profound relationship and even friendship. and this was a message that they clearly wanted to transmit to western countries that are putting sanctions on them. this is a way how russia is treating its way around a certain problems right now that the countries also experienced in june to attack on ukraine. and they're shown that their influence in latin america is still there, is still going strong, and it's still important allies that they have here. well, that's it for now, but the business is up next me, kate, for the sort of stay with interest. the global economy, our portfolio, d w business. beyond here, the closer look at the project,

our mission. to analyze the flight for market dominance. get a stick. with d w business beyond. ah mm. 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. and you come and help me out here just a 2nd there. ah. this is horrible.

you see here becoming a plastic archaeologist says her, the whole earth is just so this, these layers. what has that different generation? if you would just figure out how much vesting there is just along this little coastline is had breaking there everywhere. this was thick and now i'm here helping in in you it p comp, garbage on a deserted island in the arctic ocean. and not just a little, a lot of rock this across at a high island kind of helps soothe so it is you look at how the color of this and i want to touch this looks like it's from you. okay. miss bruckner.

this is a boy maybe and that's not a very new reagan expression. it looks like it's been in the ocean for very long side to had with her. ah oh, okay, it's running last my mr. 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. he ensign. he's

a local and we worked together on a film. we seated 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 the louis vuitton, i understanding of 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 wind 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 associate 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 and 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 thing to the sea floor is can also end up and beach. so there's ample opportunity for a piece of plastic to not end up in the arctic, but gets done. 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 plastic 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 is opening up, the deer come i'm and so i came up with the idea of simply taking a bottle, feeding it with the gps transmitter and watching what happened to them. but i needed help.

me. i law bennett my not binds oregon. 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 in 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 it to her. correct

yeah, here we are. following up down math up at the loveseat. i think i'll walk for the off cuz i well i'm excited. okay. ready. okay. ready. all right. okay. oh and one eyes. fly on 3 by o. m. i

didn't mind he wants to. he the bottom story, a terrence 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. what i'll have to break it open a. do you have

a double thing with he coffee did a broken trash. can i pay 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 kaufman on. so we needed

a new boil. this the one that wouldn't sink on. we also needed more battery powered solar. maybe by through the law. does. i'm a contract. i'm almost forever. that would be cool. so we're yes, the p $68.00. it's unsinkable is info all . ah ah see the water we sliced 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 half dreamland. my mother saved half danish the weekend from my father's foot. and nan. so i've always been very fascinated with yours. that's the element that i feel at home. my clean and the thing 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 leaders you're far from civilization. i never had that idea of moving to the foot and had an idea of traveling all knowing after that month i told my friends, but i'm sorry, i'm going to stay here. and i had the toughest to into my, my my car broke down. and i had no money, the only job i could get it was at the fish factory here. i was living 10 kilometers, started at 530 in the middle of the polar winter. the horrible weather for 3 months . and i being with been bicycling and have had to borrow equipment from people that this is like chris and

now you have to stop to borrow your title. just take it. that's the thing about some people say they have a great experience paddling 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 gotten, it's changed a bit. but the dawkins and associates,

it's different now. as far as young. where do i start? collin? oh, my friend unit is a study with himself meter. he works at the plastic smithy, heine, the recycle plastic. it's a group that recycles plastic here at a sort and shred, plastic waste, taking them moscow cuffed, it can then be melted down again and recast. and i enjoy form things will garbage maneuvering and that's where i came up with these rings in against form home. the rings are supposed to support the whole structure of plastic, and i only use a very small amount of plastic. and we used recycle to plastic. so it's basically plastic neutral, just ignored her, which is nice and small, much as you can find it right here. nature should nice, now we have all this garbage residence hall, them, you have it all a told in english and between the rings you see these disks. so banashali is cork, but they're super sustainable with super buoyancy. it is, however, a bit hard to say how much weight it can carry and for how long let's go to because

even cork absorbs water at some point that offer maybe float steeper now or something. or he is the boy with 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. i'd say 300 days, something like that far with us 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 it from the switch. it's definitely because of the low

water levels, the way it's positioned, you can tell it'll probably be carried away again when the levels rise. said series . kudos 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 the i could of elephant. let's get started. it's now 1230 and we have to finish today edition they say i'll start, okay. you gotta oh, wow. so works right.

laser infinity will be the covers with information like a contact details and the names of the boys sponsors line. unfortunately the weather is a bit but put into a bit of short on time come up, i'm 515 minutes later. not for the ortho. ah

couple of either of them, but it's a little after 7 and we really need to get this done today when a healthy. ah too. mm hm. i come to cap, here's the captain. on and the guest of honor by the fin.

hello. oh hello, carlos farmer. i found his already tested the boat and i've got the right ready. yep. so that was the captain. you have to tell stuff on what to do. it's clerk and sir calla. calla. we're ready. this is the drop, the boy was it and was in yes. floating the love or if we did well, bosun,

what 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 went on the channel i was possessed. ah, was ex 9. 0, with

a quick outside 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 then i shouldn't have been middle 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, i well that did it. other would burger, 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 on said 3 new questions and we're always the main findings. all that garbage does indeed travel along the north seas main current work. but what we also found out is that gonna be just very susceptible to wind ins. kazama hung down that i'm up where we released

him. the boy is the total of 3 times a year on those $63400.00 timber boys were released in the north sea in the tributaries law and offshore. ringback of up the look measure to response rate, the literally for 40 percent life it's actually 43 percent finished. we're 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 deflates we call shine and denmark to the north, and then along the norwegian coastline out in the arctic. but the lucas mean, but this line is not so heavily populated by and that means although these small islands there, i think there will be a lot left us focus is on my new one or business. if your boys really make it not just to denmark, but it may be that they land some way here along the swedish co. steven, well that they then go out again with the tide and then drift out along the coast of no wait water. the i take it to act as well.

we still have an hour, right. i'll do that. yeah. another hour. just stuff. that's warnock lisa $90.00 to $1.00 live now we're taking china in total group association 100 hall. another ambulance the one to talk to you about like to know way what we want to do, whether we want to re book it, move it forward. i mean listen to them. do we have dates? we're just love to go on the streets every necessary thing. she's like them getting groceries. you know, you go out the door if you take your interest to still be a good home,

i 2 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. now, the thing is you'd have to climb $2.00 to $14.00 days if you wanted to do the i'm going to do john select. i've been trying and looking into the government, it is difficult to get you to know right now. no country is kind of locked in and the only thing moving 3 quarters, plastic in these all adrift. hm. so what does it does not as you man? his name is wyatt, so he's a must've i thought he rescued it from the water kids now it's going to have bob. all right. it's nice to meet you little. i think it's funny. right. wired. miss

wyatt. oh, hold 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. i'm hannah and this is my sister marie. and we are from hamburg campbell, and we found it came together with an assistant, lena, oakland, gwinnett. it's a non profit company again, be ha, yeah, we started doing that 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. whether slager. mrs. yeah,

as it is. yeah, that's the one that was right at the beginning of the knocked down. we got to cool that we should throw the boy back in the water and cook oven, and that was super exciting fun. 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 vega institute in brenda. and basically i study the reactions of marine animals and ecosystem all to a changing environment. and these changes can be natural, but they can also be caused by humans, such as climate change or the pollution. a plastic object is more or less unique. and there is this variety of animals that are sensitive and react in many different ways to the plastic. the effects are

basically as diverse as the animal world itself. but is there high fish? what we often observe in many animals is that micro plastics in the tissues. trigger oxidative stress, does this kind of damage the genetic material and can also damage that are necessary for example, to build up cell membranes. proteins can also be attacked. i'm creating a sort of inflammation of research vessel from the alpha vega institute for coal and marine research. i will now launch the boys

ever got it? yeah, yeah. it's been a couple the thing. yeah. i'm actually pretty optimistic that they'll start moving again when conditions change him heighten and then the tides, the wind. i don't know that at all. and then they'll start floating that from even though it was the same there. but i can also there was a lot of garbage around it there with it. i think it'll stay there forever. spivey f, it's heading norton norton knocker, garbage wise. move . oh yeah. stigma and before breakfast

oh god end up with crazy. when you listen, when they get you find a lot of fresh everywhere. bottles everywhere. crackling, even though they are almost like a finder. they're like garbage fan. yeah. they were shooting the hot spots with water. plus they got a well, what they actually do in the rivers really interesting. usually they have a little journey around like maybe 10 hours, but it's interesting on some point, they stop there for like a couple of days then out of nowhere, they start moving, you know,

and here we threw it in and then actually when we, through the trip to it, it just went a raw along the curve and then it gets stuck there for a couple of days. maybe even 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. interesting. it's going to tell you this, but you don't renew learning until you're in that house. from what i understood it was war stuck in a pile of mud covered all over. it's really a dumb pm. lot of the

winds. this from the is on 2009 crazy. ah. so you can tell her it might stay there for like even 10 years or whatever. but as soon as there is a lot of water, it just gets taken away. it goes what, what's 10 years of plastic lifetime, that's just like waiting one month in human lifetime or whatever, right? there's other doesn't agree with my number's melanie back, ma'am, is my name is melanie burg managed over. i'm a deep sea research on marine litter and climate change in the arctic. then kima vander and after that, i've had with nancy toward the tribe sides of the alfred wagner institute. as had

the house gotten deep sea observatory since 1999, specifically to track the effect of climate change. this includes towed in camera systems which would drive one and a half meters above the sea bed, along the same route every year with yarn lang bill them straightened onto dba and we've noticed that we're seeing more and more rubbish on the c 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 photography since he still got fancied out of what we see is just the tip of the iceberg. ones i'm off, i'm to find nickel plastic took finding fits. we have also started to quantify micro plastics and found enormous amounts by st. paul at one station. there with that teen 1000 particles per kilogram of sediment. that exceeded anything we had previously imagined. talk a spare time. extra

. 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 cause 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 when is see all of reasons. right. this is

a testament the golden ari i yeah. so 10, right at the spot in love kill with malaysia. yes. got there. a show that was about like shortly, a lot of different material is really good

. ah, oh crazy. look at that guy. all the way from branch. theresa. lost it. it is wrecked, man. it is just destroyed on the upper side. saw it also. right now, writing on the continent, printing fasting, and their ability to host invasive species. you know that whenever chris in the ocean you can get your microbes are, this is exactly the problem, like how it travels and some of the plastic with you along the coast. and didn't know north even if some boys were still

moving, it was clear that german garbage was drifting all the way to norway. it just took much longer than expected. so for this is the animation that forgot so far. i look forward to, oh, this one was almost made if i had some of their fred still moving, read here. says that if i thought those 2, now here it stops for you. but in reality, probably what happened is that the tiny bits broke off and they could have worse, but they can slowly step by step by step. every time we go smaller, smaller. that's how we could michael plastic in the arctic dam. what we found over $10000.00 particles of micro plastic alita with z. i just typed us this year. that able micro plastic goes everywhere on or i was i'm planning in call it 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 course michael michael plastic. this one. yeah. exception song i saw. i understood you for yes. yeah. happy i am worried say a study lansky showed, for example, that micro plastics even passed from the mother to not yet born fetuses via the placental you to buy the plots. santa one defender shona born wouldn't offend. it's disturbing. the children are exposed to it before they are even less than before. the mahogany surveys, and i wonder if this somehow impacts their development and fickle changes to some way by and i think to em, gaffa and that's the note and i form no,

because didn't come back yet. everyone, regardless of gender, political affiliation and age, you know, every body produces garbage in. i'm just because you took out the garbage bag on the garbage and it is not gone. what happens afterwards? well, what are the consequences for nature for society? if you don't think about having been with the same kind of that obama become undone, 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 by a constant increase in production. at some point we have so much that we can no longer control it at the house. and we're starting to see those effect. something that same does infinite as the ocean where we thought everything we threw in will never see again, is bringing all that material back to us now. yeah, i think is gone so much i got to work and that i think is the most important thing . the plastic is on top of all the other pressures that we put on the ocean is on

top of the ocean warming, the ocean is edification, 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 just a drop that tips your bucket. i haven't used theory it. okay. so this a new giant made. it's a very serious one. you know, we have 5 question just around the world is asked as accumulating and won't really realize before in 510 years it is called a guarantee. oh,

no sir. do you know me? walters, b, a b testing jail or most of the coal street will end up eventually mining versus nature conservation. red earth mining is penetrating sweden's prestige forest. the saw me, people fear for their existence is reindeer herders. their fragile ecosystem is under threat. posing a risk to their livelihood, focus on europe. in 30 minutes on d, w. crisis in the financing system,
