like that until just over 10 minutes from the ends. reprising the car on hand to make the gain safer. frankfurt with a simple finish they stay said in the table and in the champions league places, which in many ways the result played 2nd fiddle to the new attendance records. and encouraging sign that women's teams can fill out the big stadiums in germany. doc film has a look at how plastic waste ends up in the arctic coming up next. i'm sorry, kelly and berlin. thank you for joining us on the debbie. take care. the trio taking on nigerian trafficking works with listed over those mounting evidence that nigerian human trafficking enforced prostitution are also taking place here in new 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 and escaped from civilization. ah. almost like being on another planet. at least that's what i thought. can you come and help me out here just a 2nd there? ah, this is horrible. you see here becoming

a plastic ocoee. oliver. sorry. the whole earth is just so this, these layers. what has that different generation? if you would just figure out how much plastic there is just along this little coastline. it's hot breaking there everywhere isn't 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 that are high. i live in a health soon as soon as you look at how the color of it 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 listed on the other. i. okay, it's running slow. man, i'm a 7 corner. 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 jensen. 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. i mean, ah, lizzie lewis with honest adding a timothy smell, and there was even a german b, a bunch of reflection in the middle of the arctic clifton in active life. 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 in the increase in the arctic. so i, so i started doing research associate oh wow. wow. uh 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 these are plastic or something that you throw in the ocean? it's slightly more complicated, a piece of plastic and also sing to the sea floor. it can also end up and beach to ambo 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, 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 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, feeding it with the gps transmitter and watching what happened to them. but 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. 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 taking 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 it to her. correct?

yeah. maria, all enough down. math. loveseat. i think i'll walk for his oscar. thanks. wow. i'm excited. okay. ready. okay. ready? oh, i see. all right. okay. oh and one hines. so i see on 3 die. oh,

i didn't really want to hear the bottle story. i terrance? 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. think about 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? what he is another message in a bottle? what? what? i'll have to break it open a. do you have

a double thing with because he did a couple 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 call 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 by through the law. does. i'm a contract. i'm almost forever. that would be cool. circ were yes, the p 68, it's unthinkable is info all ah ah, you see the water was supposed that's bad. stop

him and i think we have to redo it all. i 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 then so i've always been very fascinated with the that's the element that i feel at home. my clean and the other thing that i need visited when i was 1st time i remember there was baptism,

but i only have fragments of memory in greenland. if you walked just a 100 meters, you're far from civilization. i never had that idea of moving to the local. 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 ensure 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 from it, started at 530 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 the stuff to borrow. you just take it

that's the thing about some people say they have a great experience paddling for me. the 1st formative here in placing this is what i'm going to do. this is who i am, and this is what i wanted to spend excited showing because as the invisible cotton is changed a bit, as he dawkins and associates, it's different now are hung

a young. where do i start? cold? no, my friend unit is a study with him. last meter. he works at the plastic smithy, heine, the recycle plastic. it's a group that recycles plastic, cleared his head out a sort, and shred plastic waste. hang them. muska cuffed. it can then be melted down again and recast denial or form things on garbage minute. that's where i came up with these rings and begun to 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 recycled plastic. so it's basically plastic neutral plastic not high, which is nice and both format as you can find it right here. nature. sure 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 disks. so banashali is cork, the super sustainable with super buoyancy. it is however, a bit hard to say how much weight it can carry and for how long it,

because even cork absorbs water at some point that 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 last about a year and say, 300 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 high pools, new boy allowed us to continually adjust the prototype and fix problems, depending on the river levels, our prototype took her 3 months to cover 80 kilometers with several brakes along the way. i think 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 the risk widow sat looks pretty good. we decided to build several boys and then set them out along the l by every 100 kilometers so that their paths could overlap. the echoed beloved, let's get started. it's now 1230 and we have to finish today. addition if i'll start. okay, whoa, whoa, whoa, wow. hello, works right.

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

couple of people with it's a little after 7 and we really need to get this done today when a healthy ah to mm no, i contact cap,

here's the captain on and the guest of honor by the to the fin. hello. oh, hello, carlos farmer. i found his already tested the boat and i've got the rogue ready. yep. 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 yes. then floating ah look.

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, one of

us quick but of what the project started with the growing scientific interest in the environmental problem is maureen letter. at some point you just can't ignore it any more it's been awful, the national guard and it's been middle. i'm rosanna sion, i shall just, i'm a marine biologist coverage. 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, a homeless in may or those before. i mean, of course we found out and looked for just is always the case in science. i know for every question on said 3 new questions and wrong with the main findings. all that garbage does indeed travel along the northeast main current. but what we also found out is that gonna be just very susceptible to wind ins,

kazama to hum the done that i'm up where we released him. the boy is a total of 3 times a year. under those $63400.00 timber boy were released in the north sea in the tributaries law and offshore up the hook measure the response rate, the literally for 40 percent life, it's actually 43 percent finished or in the direction of the current. we know that waste is basically driven into the gym and bang on, 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. what do you think of but this coastline is not so heavily populated by and that means although these small islands that 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 somewhere here along the swedish co. steven was that they then go out again with a tight and then drift out along the coast of no way towards the out take. if

doctor we still have an hour right out of that. yeah. another hour. status them awesome. that's all we're not crazy. who did $93.00 bottom to one is now we're taking china in total group and 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 mean, listen to them, do we have dates? we're just allowed to go on the streets and the very necessary things. she's like them getting groceries,

leasing or you go out the door. if you take your interest to still get a 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 that. yeah. so like i've been trying and looking into the government, but it's difficult to get over it right now. no countries kind of locked in on the only thing moving to 3 quarters. plastic a so what does it, does it 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. nice to meet you. this is what i think it's funny. right. wired. miss

wyatt. oh, hold up. dinner on board. okay. bye truth. so we found this fine from throwing it back. mm. oh. yeah. well, hello. hello. hello. hi stefan. hi stefan. i just didn't read an inch thick. okay. okay. and i'm hannah, and this is my sister marie. and we have from amber campbell, and we found a deep clean together with our sister, 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 excellence of stop. and it grew really quickly and

a lot of people joined till and now we do it regularly for who else. liam is us as it? uh huh. yes. that's the one that was right at the beginning of the note down. we got a call that we should throw the boy back in the watering cook oven, and that was super exciting, fun as a bush bund. with yeah, yes, and we went there and then we watched the currents a little bit 1st. we got some advice said 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 duncan. 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. laws good to me. i'm a marine biologist at the alpha vega institute in brand a. 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. 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 in the high fish, what we often observe in many animals is that micro plastics in the tissues will trigger oxidative stress. does this kind of damage the genetic material and can also damage the facts that are necessary. for example, to build up 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 anxious, but i think i'm actually pretty optimistic that they'll start moving again when conditions change in height and then the tides, the wind. i don't know how to handle them then they'll start floating them from you . that all 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 new. oh ha ha ha ha.

that's home through stigma. and before breakfast we'll go dance. otherwise crazy. when you listen, when they get you find a lot of fresh everywhere. bottles everywhere. crackling, even if they are almost like a finder, they're like garbage fan. yeah. they were sharing with plus they got in the river. well, what they actually do in the river. it's 3 interesting. usually they have a little journey around like maybe 10 hours, but it's interesting and sometimes they stop there for like a couple of days. and 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 got stuck there for couple of days. maybe even even 3 or 4, then it went further to this point that it got stuck again and, and i think yesterday, but the day before it moved again and it went all the way up here. interesting. are going to tell you this, but you don't been burning until you're in his house from what i understood it was washed up in a pile of mud covered all over. it's really a dump him a lot of the

winds this from the earth 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 because what, what's 10 years of a plastic lifetime? that's just like waiting one month in human lifetime or whatever, right? there's other doesn't grade. oh, wow. my name is melanie back ma'am, is my name, is melanie bergman over? i'm a deep sea research on marine litter and climate change in the arctic. then key miranda enact that i've had with not and it would betide sides of the outward regnant

institute as had the house gotten deep c 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. give us yeah, as long as i am striking on data and we've noticed that we are 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 feet in spite of the 5th since he still got fancied, out of what we see is just the tip of the iceberg ones i'm finding the whole plastic look finding fits. we have also started to quantify micro plastics and found enormous amounts. 5, st. paul, at one station there was a $19000.00 particles per kilogram of sediment that exceeded anything we had previously imagined. talk a stay at home with 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 the golden, ari i yeah. so right at the spot in love deal with malaysia. yes. when we got there a show that it was about like shortly, a lot of different material is really ah

oh, crazy. look at that guy. okay. from 30 to visa, plus get it. it is wrecked, man. it is just destroyed on the other side. so right now, writing i'm 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 so the plastic will take 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. so for this is the animation that forgot. so for i look forward to, oh, this one was almost made. i had some of their friends, they're moving red here. says that i feel 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 got michael plastic in the market. damn, i'd say we found over $10000.00 particles of micro plastic alita of mounted z. i just typed of this show that able micro pastor goes everywhere on or i was, i'm planning him, 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 that 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 know still do for yes. yeah. happy i am worried. i a study last year showed for example, that micro plastics even past from the mother of to not yet born fetuses via the placenta to body plot center. and if in the shauna, bourne wouldn't offend, stabbing the children are exposed to it before they are even before the mahogany surveys. and i wonder if this somehow in past their development and fickle 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 yet.

everyone, regardless of gender, political affiliation, age, you know, every body produces garbage in. i'm 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 having been with the same kind of dr. ahmad amanda, 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 behalf, 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 thought what, 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 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 just a drop that tips your bucket. i haven't used theory it. okay. so this a new j v 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 in 510 years. it is called baron c. j. so,

no, sir, do you know me? walters, b, a b testing jail or most of the coal street will end up eventually. ah, eco africa, pollution. it's the traditional within liberia, the sale and consumption of it has been forbidden for several years. the goal is to preserve the bio diversity and prevent the spread of diseases. how would liberians hunting with a change? for 30 minutes on

d. w. using high tech to combat water shortage. california has one of the world's largest wastewater treatment plants near los angeles. stinking sludge is turning to clean drinking water. in less than 2 days. the state of the art system is designed to secure fresh water supplies in times of accelerating climate change. global 3090 minutes on d. w. perfect. so i just got it all say what grade for

ah this is dw news live from berlin. germany is also coming.
