since across the country, he is a reminder, the tops sure were falling for you, this shower. there have been reports of fighting incidence capital cartoon. despite her 3 day truce at the end of ramadan, more than 400 people have been killed and thousands injured in a week of clashes between the army and a rival paramilitary good. we will ended their coming up next our documentary series dock film asked how plastic waste ends up in the remote arctic ocean. that's after the break. a michael oak who invalid. we'll have more news for you at the top of the next hour. the trio taking on nigerian trafficking that works with for this did this open those mounting evidence that nigerian human trafficking enforced constitution are also taking place here and from school with the trio

combating, shady dealings starts april 29th on d, w. ah mm. i've always been drawn to the far north, pristine nature, an escape from civilization. ah. almost like being on another planet. at least that's what i thought you come and help me out. you're 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 hot breaking everywhere. this looks thick and now i'm here helping in in you at p comp, garbage on a deserted island in the arctic ocean. and not just a little a lot the rack this across i, i live in 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 that's not a very new region expression. it looks like it's been in the ocean for very long side to had with her. ah oh, okay, it's running slow man, i'm a 7 corner of my name, 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 lo, 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 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 dizzy lewis fitting anesthetic intimidation hello. and there was even a german b, a bunch of reflection in the middle of the arctic clifton in active side. 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 down stream 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 with, whoa, whoa, whoa, 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 coastline 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 sing to the sea floor. it can also end up beach to ambo opportunity for a piece of plastic. do 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 and there's the ocean in

a single year than we can now account for 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 many of the dear com. and so i came up with the idea of simply taking a bottle, repeating it with a gps transmitter and watching what happened then what i needed help me. i law finish up my not once organ. when i asked my

neighbor, i knew he was studying technical design at the dresden university of technology called his name is pol vice. i thought, hey, he's a tinkerer and a real tech head, or i'll ask him and i take him to his simplest idea was to build a 3 d model, which i would then have printed them, whatever. you can then just put the gps tracker inside a seal and talk on all snap saudi. i idea that's the planned and now it's just a matter of trying to get her correctable.

yeah. here we are. following up down there at the loveseat. i think i'll walk for video. wow. i'm excited. ok. ready? okay, ready. all right. ok. oh and one eyes. fly on 3 by o. m. i didn't really want to hear the battle 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 amanita although you sunk does not have, i think so thing, but maybe it filled up and it's now on the water. i well, i got a lot of rocks that we have moved in 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. let's see. what i'll have to break it open. do you have a double eye? because he did

a broken trash can with hey, you glad you found my message in a bottle? i drew this picture for you. my name's carlo. i'm 5 years old and i live in dresden . i would be very happy to get a letter from you. sonny greetings, carla carlo did a nice job with 36 kilometers later. i realized that this is all more complicated than i thought. i'll 1st drifter was a flop, but hey, at least i've got a new pen pal. i so taught me like a so we needed a new boy, miss 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, i see the water space that's bad. stop in i think we have to redo it all

kinda thing if i am to explain myself. i would say my name is christine 32 year old. i am have greenland, my mother site and a half danish the weekend with my father said. and so i've always been very fascinated with yours. that's the limit that i feel at home. my clean and the other 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 walk just a 100 meters, your father and i never had that idea of moving to put 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 tough to into my, my, my car broke down and i had no money. the only job i could get it was a fish factory here. i was living 10 kilometers from it. started at $530.00 in the middle of the polar winter. the horrible weather for 3 months and i being with been bicycling and have you had to borrow equipment from people that like chris and now you have to stop asking us to borrow. you just take it like that's the thing about some people say they have a great experience happening. but for me, the 1st formative years is 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 gazelle adlene visit has gotten it's changed a bit. the dawkins and associates, it's different now. oh fung a young. where do i start calling on my friend eunice dish yesterday with himself me to he works at the plastic smithy, heine, the recycle plastic. the group that recycles plastic cleared was cut out

a sort and shred to plastic waste, taking them moscow cuffed, it can then be melted down again and recast. and i know form signs when garbage menus. 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 we only use a very small amount of plastic. and we use recycle to plastic. so it's basically plastic, neutral, classic, not her, which is nice and bo spot you as you can find it right here. and nature should nice . now we have all this garbage for them to hold them. you have it all a told in english, and between the rings. you see these disc, savannah, how we use court, 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, our tracker, it's definitely waterproof and lasts about a year and say $300.00 days, something like that. sorry with us with we eventually learned that the river can carry both our boy and trash a long way. especially when running fly pulls, 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 him 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. since he rescued us, that looks pretty good. we decided to build several boys and then set them out

along the l by every 100 kilometers so that their parts could overlap. the echoed beloved, let's get started. it's now 1230 and we have to finish today. edison if i'll start. okay. gotta oh, wow. works right.

the laser into the spin, 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 upside. 15 minutes later, for the workers with ah

couple of people with it's a little after 7 and we really need to get this done today when a healthy ah too. mm hm, but 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 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 wait on them shamela was possessed. ah, was ex 9. 0, with

a quick upside of what the project started with the growing scientific interest in the environmental problem. if maureen letter at some point, you just can't ignore it any more if it will, then i hold on, i shouldn't have been mailed. i'm rosanna sion, 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 one, bertram. the homeless in may are those before. i mean, of course we found out a lot, but as is always the case in science, i know for every question answered 3 new questions, are the main findings all that garbage does. indeed. travel along the northeast main current board. but what we also found out is that gonna be just very susceptible to wind in for them to 100 and that i'm up where we released him. the

boy is a total of 3 times a year under those $63410.00. but boy were released in the north sea in the tributaries law and offshore. up you look measure 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 slaves we call shine and denmark to the north and then along the norwegian coastline out in the arctic. because this coastline is not so heavily populated by and that means although these small islands that i think there will be a lot of time. okay, so my new one or this is phillip boyce really make it not just to denmark, but it may be that they land somewhere here along this. we just can't even see that they then go out again with a tight and then drift out along the coast. of no way towards the i take it to act as well. we still have an hour right out of that.

yeah. another hour with that or not crazy. we'll get 90 people from to one is now what we're taking china in total, a whole 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'm innocent. i mean, do we have dates we're just allowed to go on the streets and the very necessary things. she's like them getting groceries. just leave me as you know, you go out the door. if you take your interest to still be

a good o 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. 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, i'm looking into the government that says that it's difficult to get you to know a right now no country is kind of locked in on the only thing moving between borders is classic and these are drifting. mm 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 help bob. all right. it's nice to meet you legally. well, 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. click ok. okay, and i'm hannah and this is my sister marie. and we are from hamburg campbell, and we found a day 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 with us later,

mrs. yeah. as of the one that was right at the beginning of the lock 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 the push button with yeah, yes. and then we went there and then we watched the current initial 1st. we got some advice so that i knew exactly where to throw it in audit bestbuy list. i'm alpha one, i go for it. yeah. very good. good of if you meet is 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. that's a, 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. law school. i'm a marine biologist at the alpha big institute in brand. and basically i study the reactions of marine animals and ecosystem ultimate changing environment. and these changes can be natural, but they can also be caused by humans, such as climate change or the pollution ah, you the 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 can damage the genetic material and can also damage the facts that are necessary. for example, to build cell membranes. proteins can also be attack. i'm creating a sort of inflammation in here on hika research vessel from the alfred vega institute for coal and marine research. i will now launch the boys

ever got it? yeah, yeah. it's been anchored the thing. yeah. i'm actually pretty optimistic that they'll start moving again when conditions change. if i'm and then the tides, the wind, i don't know that 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 i think it'll stay there forever. severe. it's heading, norton norton knocker, garbage wise, move. oh, yeah. that's want to stick on to 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. yeah. they are almost like a finder. they're like garbage fine. yeah. they were showing the hot spots with this was on. plus they got a well, what they actually do in the reverse 3. 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 and then help lower. they start moving again

down here we threw it in and then actually when we threw 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 or 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 bring in hogwash from what i understood. it was washed up in a pile of mud covered all over. it's really a dump him with

a 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's 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 life time or whatever, right? there's other doesn't grade my number's melanie back ma'am, is my name is melanie berg managed over. i'm a deep sea research on marine litter and climate change in the arctic than klemmer london enact that. i've had with nancy toward the tribe sides of the alfred wagner institute. as had the house gotten deep see observatory since 1999,

specifically to track the effect of climate change. this includes towed in camera systems which were drive one and a half meters above the sea bed, along the same route every year with yard long bare them striking onto the alba. and we've noticed that we are 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 7 fold between 242017 photography owns photography since we spoke. i fancied what we see is just the tip of the iceberg. ones. i'm finding the whole plastic look font if it's we have also started to quantify micro plastics and found enormous amounts in power at one station there with that teen 1000 particles per kilogram of sediment that exceeded anything we had previously imagine target. they've had with

extreme air. amazing. they come out to do this. all. 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, remiss. see one of reasons. right. this is

a testament, the golden, ari i yeah. so 10, right at the spot in love with malaysia. yes. when we got there that that's a place where all the best to get to release the show that it was about right shortly. there's a lot of different material is really good

. ah, oh crazy. look at that guy all the way from branch to lisa plus. get bought. it. it is wrecked, man. it is just destroyed on the other side. so right now writing on the continent, printing fasting, and their ability to host invasive species. you know that whenever interest 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 and didn't know 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. so for this is the animation that forgot. so i look forward to, oh, this one was almost made. if i had some of their friends, they're moving red here. says i feel like those, those 2 now here it stops for you. but the in the yellow t probably what happened is that tiny bits broke off, and they could have worse, 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. dam. let's say we found over $10000.00 particles of micro plastic alita mounted z. i just typed up this year that apple micro plastic us everywhere on old plan and plan even in corporate. and we scientists are relatively united in our opinion that we will no longer be

able to get it out and that 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 nickel, plastic. yeah, exception. as long as all i understood you for yes. yeah. i am worried say a study last year showed, for example, that micro plastics even passed from the mother to not yet born fetuses via the placenta to body plot center. and if in the showa born wouldn't offend, it's disturbing the children are exposed to it before they are even 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 not the note. and i form moved because didn't garbage affect everyone, regardless of gender,

political affiliation and age group, every body produces garbage in. and just because you took out the garbage bag or the garbage area and it is not gone. what happens afterwards? what are the consequences for nature for society if they don't think about the same kind of my home depot montage. 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 and it's got the house. and we're starting to see those effects. something that seemed as infinite as the ocean where we thought everything we threw in, we'll never see again, is bringing all that material back to us now. yeah, i think you've got so much on it, i guess. 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 city cation, the ocean, over fishing, the noise, pollution, all the other things that we're doing to the ecosystems in the ocean. it could very well be that the plastic is, is to drop that bucket avenue theory, right? okay. so this a new j p made. it's a very serious one. you know, we have 5 plastic around the world as accumulating and won't really realize. and before and 510 years, it is called a guarantee care north of the normal waters,
