fall flooding in northern italy is killed at least 13 people will tardies of warning. they may be whist account. if he rides bass of the region, thousands have been forced to flee their that's all for now. coming up next to adult film. wildflowers looked at britain's natural split. that traits is coming up after a short break. don't think of that website as they are the deputy dot com for all the latest news and analysis, and we're on social media as well. for the end instagram to handle the names as the deputy needs. so i'm anthony helps from all of us here in berlin. thanks for watching the interest the global economy g w business be here's a closer look at the project. to analyze the flight for market dominance,
6:16 am
get a step with dw business beyond the the alternate useful life, the, as far as we know, is the only inhabitant, planet, you know, univers thought the diversity of life. it supports is on the threat, the since the 1970s. we have diminished of a 60 percent of all wild life, a not to have a chance the,
6:17 am
the goals and one and 7 species now facing extinction. and many others in decline. the time has come to we address that filing the today, the united kingdom is one of the most nature to treat these countries on a planet. but now is not the time to despair as individuals and communities, a paving the way to move right to each of the now is the time for speech like the
6:18 am
on the aisle of miles, scotland change. as in the, the white tailed eagles, the case largest bed frame with a wing span of up to 8 feet. this magnificent bed was hunted to extinction in the u. k. and the 19th century was the time and victorians out shooting grouse and another game. the time when sheet but being bored into the items and they didn't want any predators around. so whitefield, he goes to the top of the list to get rid of the last name, whites out ego in the highlands, was shot in the shipments in 1918. just shameful, really, well, human beings are capable of doing but after decades of hard work and dedication
6:19 am
step by step, reading, david sexton, and all those involved it's been a nice long labor. as now the of to several found attempts, the reintroduction program gathered momentum in the 1970s. and today that continued well because led to one of the most successful wildlife conservation projects in the a building 10 the yeah. and no way from 75 to 85. and they were kept in avery's own room and said taffeta and then released. and that was the beginning of middle very, that's how it all started with these well, but did not ask that piece to then from and despite to successfully introduction,
6:20 am
it took 10 years until they saw the fast successful breeding attempt from a positive settlements on i was lucky enough to be here in 1985 working for the r as b b. when that 1st check sledge, we were here was ness protection. people ready at that time it was always the bar in the risk of a collective. and it was a collect, does that probably finish the builds off a 100 years previously? and so it was amazing on a to be part of that bit of conservation history. and our tenants on the edge of the lo, looking out houses. meetings is all about. we were the happiest people in the land, i think at that time. and that was the 1st check to fly in the u. k. skies for over 70 is that was quite a moment. the of the descendants of that matriarchal ego
6:21 am
still living on mount today. in 2021 was a record to you for checks the highest number of checks i've ever known in my time and reflects 20 checks this year, which is just a phenomenal result. and those checks take a lot of reading because when they hatch in mid april they you know, they come out of an egg. so does that sort of size um, kind of a little bullet down that would fit in how much you had in 10 weeks, like going from that to totally grabbing eagles the 8 foot long span, which is just phenomenal dates of dress. and by the time they fly the nest, that's it. that's all the credit and they, they're pretty much changes, but they didn't get any bigger than what doc brown, top prepaid and it's not until they reach maturity at 5 years old,
6:22 am
but they get that amazing tail blown bright yellow beep and not being white tail malls. success story and bringing these beds back from extinction shows that change can happen when individuals and communities come together. but even today, conservation conflicts remains a hot topic. one of the reasons why it to the was became extinct because of the does the conflict with livestock and there's no denying the eagles. i printed 3 birds, golden eagle. and why does eagles are going to take some lambs here? but what's going to fall now is, is the exaggeration, i'm the claims of losses. which go way beyond reality. that equals why teddy, those in particular have now just become the number one thing to play, the right time because of big scavengers. so they will come in and take something
6:23 am
off the other predators and stopped in the process. and if they see something like that, going on show that they'll come in and intervene and take the land. it might already be dead, it might be very dead. but either way, just it's the ego look at see and get flamed, that just an easy target. it's human kind and predators, you know, we, we tolerate them up to a point. but as soon as they interact in any way with what we want to do, we want rid of them. and that's the sort of challenge which we face. and you want to stand it from the farm is in acrosta's point of view because the animals of their livelihood a small like science design ways through that to find ways of accommodating these buzz back and highlights normally slow ways that you know that they respond to things like diversity feeding,
6:24 am
you only have to put out some alternative suits so small them if they happen to be mixed in their learning. thought like 3 or 4 fish a day and they will take that and leave everything else alone. but what is happening more and more now is actually a change in the landscape of the change in the way land is manage. the people are wanting to do more about the logical restoration. and that's their main focus. it's not about the stalking gas shooting and sheep funding. they welcome white deals like once a month. so there's a definite new era approaching the despite misconceptions. white towed eagles shining, pushing phone, keeping other predators of pay, maintaining balance within the food chain. and for an isolated island community like mo, these magnificent birds,
6:25 am
who so generate surprising economic benefit bringing in as much as $5000000.00 pounds a year as a result of white tailed eco tourism. but i think in addition to the economic benefit, which is great and we need it is those are just that as well as a mental health and well being. the thing that they provide for people they give back bucket loads to the mountain. people are now coming to watson to, to see the people of both the tiers and sometimes when they see an eagle in its natural habitat soaring in the sky. and that has as much was in my view as any towns. and then economic study. david has never forgotten his fasting counter, plus staying among the 1980s. i'd see my associate on
6:26 am
a holiday here to fill this mess it the nothing across the loved ones with the prize speech to the whole let down the sort up and over the ridge. and that was the trigger for me. there was no going back to david and he began a lifelong career walk into the world societies for the protection of the the finally coming to mel protection officer in 2003 job. he's still family committed to today. one of the things that gives me most pleasure at the moment is the fact that we're now able to do for england, but no way did for us back in the seventy's. you know, nobody had a thriving population of want to the goes and they donated a couple of 100 birds over the 3 release. now, because that was a doing so well, we're helping projects who are releasing went to the eagles on the on of white. so now there are numbers of white vehicles already soaring over the south and west
6:27 am
coast of in a meal. so surprised for me that knowledge is able to be part of that project. increasing a we need to make room in our lives for these animals that right. so they should be here. you know we, we were the ones that got rid of them for no good reason. at the end of the day, it's what most people want in their lives. they want a rich, diverse countryside. the still get a huge kick out of watching these books and i, i do it. so how was a, we know it's part of the job. i need to know where they are and what they're doing and that they're secure, stopped. i would also just do it because i loved doing it the
6:28 am
i came here with a very good friend back in the eighty's. he's now passed away. but that's my connection to him. you know, i think that it all the time when i bought my girlfriend here, now, my wife, you know, she loved the mile and the eagles were part of that connection. my daughter's life growing up on mount the needles upon it. that lies side of the whole connex on something you want to davis. my life is i think strictly intertwine and con, separate to sorry, yeah, the and then the,
6:29 am
and sometimes we can look to native a help in more ways than one might imagine the around the world news is extreme tombs and becoming commonplace. and it's global temperatures continue to rise. as much as 51 percent of the world's population could be at risk from severe flooding. but one animal may be able to help be raising visa. these semi aquatic novels could play a significant role in person's nature, recovery and make the countryside more resilient to the impacts of climate change beavers and not to engineers. by finding trees and building dams, they can improve the quality of rivers. slowing down,
6:30 am
cleaning and storing water. and these newly formed river habitats attracted diverse abundance of wildlife. once native, because the whole of the you, k fevers were hunted to extinction 400 years ago. for the meat, for the st. guns of the thoughts successful attempts to bring them back in the wild have led to the fast up in beaver reintroduction program in plymouth. lead and supported by progressive thinking council the 6 heck to the walls. enclosure is that in an ancient with the natures of surrounded by local housing states. when you're inside the enclosure, it doesn't feel like you're in the area told, it feels pretty. wireless is basically a large community. nature is a why with
6:31 am
a wildlife can link up trying to create a more diverse how the top i'm so the locals and just nature in general. j best to make again working approved from 5 years ago and became inspired to bring beef. it's back to the area of to watching a film about re welding. i think we're at a point now as well. i would love to say to place it in this country compared to a lot of countries that i think we still have to do is to try and bring a lot of that back to wherever possible, unpractical. about 3 years ago, we still applies together. and so could we release b was a a logistics a was very difficult, but i think from that as of push in side of things we'll, we're ready how the heads in the right place. and we're already king strategy that the of to many consultations that passion and dedication page on november 2020 alone male
6:32 am
visa was introduced into, especially posing sasha, the fast to inhabit the valley in over 400 years. a few months may said he was joined by females when she was 1st released, she lived separately aside from the mile for the good 2 or 3 weeks, and then someone sold them swimming together on the pond. i'm not going to realize that they pads and they were living in the same thorough cheese. definitely even more dominant and in control. and he's or just hooks up with what she wants to do and she'll start sticks off and she brought down the tracy belt, the majority of the, of the down. so she saw of the ring leader and he's just lot, all those around everywhere. you raising fevers. can way up to 38 kilograms, and
6:33 am
a substantially larger than badges pull there, they will comes in the far to feed on land. they have a water pre flare that ice uninvited, like tell for swimming, which makes them better suited to life in the world. so there's a common misconception that they really fish, but they don't need fish that completely. i've ever us a very basic level strip. the bulk of the tray on the i think old account being layer. and denise which advice really sugary strip that goes all the way through the woods. and then that also a large amount of vegetation, so that a brambles out of funds and brock and you know, everything that you might find that will, that will feed on that piece is half
6:34 am
a life. and the recent arrivals attract to the loss of interest from both young and old, within the community. and there is no doubt about joe's feeling towards these animals, which is an tim, the nickname of these, a man. off of that, just to be honest, i mean everything to me, a lot of i just, i just really and i think that is amazing to see an animal that can just basically do what you want to do for conservation in its own time. and it can completely shape an environment, you know, you can change the whole rid of the system. you can change the whole area of trees just from one animal that's taking channels and building dams and things that yeah, i think that great. and i think they should be protected and encouraged to spreads in control twice the, the main reservation i saw was the welfare of the beavers. i think people worried that, you know, you might get
6:35 am
a few people coming down to breaking in and doing things that it shouldn't be there . and so it's something that we took on boards. that's why i've got the cameras out keeping an eye on it. we've got the ranking and be with the trolls. davis allows the not tunnel, which means the camera traps that joe's that can observe the nighttime activities as well as monitoring the welfare around the clock for a time to just follow where that feet and signs also for something interested in a new, a new tree. they started no rain or obviously when they started building the down and one is be the stakes that turn up in a new location and i'll try them to somebody about getting on kind of a lot of good for is like golf. luckily was just for yourself thinking not going beaver and trying to anticipate why they've got a chance can already see a difference in the landscape of to only a few months of the spring away with the baby is one of the main names was to
6:36 am
potentially show that flooding can be reduced from that behaviors. if you imagine you've got a more to cost, that actually is the same all the way through. in all cases, 600 meters of the same topography of water. and then they've now put them in front of it. you now have a really fast area of water comes and it slows right down. when you stand back and look at both channels, you can see it. and notice the difference between the channel that may have affected in the generally having the faxes the has to be installed more times and slight was having the channel flat and it will, it can be stored captured, show that in a big storm event that those big dams should bounce all or to reduce the amount that flows through the site and downstream. yet sometimes the johnny to, while the plan, it can take longer than expected. and then a crew twist of fate. a story took a very different time when
6:37 am
a severe storm hip assessing the torrential rain cause substantial damage to the enclosure. and those fevers escape the the males sort refuge nearby. sadly, the female died of the if these architects have been here justin as longer with more time to build them and slow the fluff or to send the outcome. could have been very different. joe and the team remain committed to the project and a rebuilding the fences with a new strong good design. they are hoping to welcome beavers back again in the near future the what's the facing that
6:38 am
can see it would be so that the visit proved from other or thirty's, which would follow seat in areas at risk of flossing around the weld of the restoring nature, back to its original state is that some sort of as a land based concept it's the oceans in which food life wanna depend. the the you can islands comprise over 6000 islands and the water surrounding these crystal communities of a many amazing night. the jump to ida hudson is a research scientist. and the roof is around the west coast of scotland and have
6:39 am
passed in the state of the hebrides is basically one of the most amazing places that we have not only in the you k, but in, in europe. as soon as you mentioned to me by a diverse place and the reason is, so this is because of the topography. so around and you get lots and lots of finding channels right next, very shallow areas. the comfortable is extremely rich. and so when that comes up to the surface in certain areas around the world that's causing the strength of falling. so that brings these looking nutrients pop up to the surface. and oxygen was like kind of like a centralize it does. and on cultural land around to see if the hebrides to change the passing of life. and it's just
6:40 am
a really, really special thing. the feasible is of which in su, plankton derived from the greek meaning wondering animals. this type of clinton can take is anything from microscopic organisms to largest species like jelly fish displaying this, trying to set something magical sequence of events, attracting other creatures to come and feed. so you get fish like micro hiring sprout song deals. sun hills are actually the lifeline. if the hebrides, if you like, they're really fox, which makes. and that brings all the fevers recitations of the whales and open and then also brings the species i went to the asking. so the reaching is the 40 feet and then it is the 2nd
6:41 am
largest show can be ocean. and they my great to be shoes every year. making this area, one of the world's biggest spots, the feeding on the duplex, and they sell to up to 2000 tons of c o 2, an hour, 3 that goes out. seemed like a giant says the, these gen 2 creatures crew slowly along the ocean surface, which has in the past, made them an easy target for hunting. that pretty easy to find that right at the surface that very slow moving. and so it's very, very easy to use to helping us can shop it's liver, it contains an oil field, squalling oil back in the day that used to be used as an energy source oil on
6:42 am
specifically thankfully the hunting u. v. sharks was banned and the u. k and the 19 ninety's iowa thinks that the current population is still recovering from that expectation. and so the shocks a likely very, very long lift. so it takes them a long time to grow to reach their actual maximum size. spending a small percentage of that time at the surface means that we still know very little about these elusive animals. much of that allow you framing the depths remains a mystery. even to those who study these magnificent giants of the sea, we know that the basking shot comes back to walter's every summer. and we know they come back up to the surface to feed on the points. and then we know that they go by
6:43 am
the dates and you know, they kind of my great sizes in kilometers and they can goes thousands of need to speak to as well. we don't exactly know what it is that they're doing. don't know. we've never signed the nice thing. no one's actually ever seen about since i've given birth in the wiles, i only just starting to scratch the surface of what the boston talks. life is outside of the time that it comes back to us as well as to feed the understanding that breeding habits and migrate to repass ins could be key to protecting them from the invisible changes of climate change. for me, sees to please which speech sources and pollution are affecting the delicate balance of all marine ecosystems shocks are keystone species, which basically means they played a super important role in the ecosystem. the marine ecosystem is basically
6:44 am
assignment oil machine. so all of the cocks have to be turning for the next part of the machine to work. and so when you see the boston chalks and you see, you know, large populations of in laws obligations, that means that this means that it symbolizes the housing closest. and if the shocks on there it may be, signifies that something is going wrong with the rest of the machine this season. so we're worrying an unexpected change throughout the see if have produced. the boss can shocks that normally with time, year on year, almost nowhere to be seen. there is no definitive explanation as to why this has happened. but it's a pointing reminder how fragile these habitats trulia. as i lead over given a pipe a cnn, a team called lucky on the late tool this afternoon. they caught sight of abbas ski
6:45 am
shock and had one of the few encounters in the region that yeah, the i felt really nice because it's very rare to me to get see almost the end of august . and you have not seen one the entire season. also it just shared joy. it signals to us that the shocks of silva and the ecosystem is still working, how it should, the
6:46 am
being next to an animal of that size is probably one of the most humbling experiences that you can possibly have. so it makes you feel quite swollen, it's like a skin, it almost kind of takes you out of yourself and then the they are very, very focused on where the status so she lying nicely still is flat and quiet the surface st. valley new way through that. and so it's almost like open the door into it and thinking well, and you're just the very the not only is a window into a world that you know, usually why not pause, but it's also kind of like
6:47 am
a door and you just save these, these animals that have been successful for such a long time, waiting longer than humans have. and just kind of being and in some its presence is just so special the, it's almost mind blowing to think about the impact that we can have. we have such a huge influence on the natural itself. you know, i've been on the planet for almost 3 decades. so in my life time, we've seen an almost 71 percent decrease and the number of shocks across the world the majority of that is down to over expectation from fishing. we all taking these animals, iras news, go system, and we offers and that decline. so the majority of oceanic shock species are
6:48 am
threatened by extinction positives today of the iowa having lived all her life by the sea, diving beneath the waves as opened her eyes to this hidden wild for me so many logical experience. and it's also kind of where i feel most myself when you're under the waves, as a kind of don't mean to get tell us to think about what else would have been kind of what's around in the search. and really, really mindful expo. busy the you don't have, you know, emails coming in the background. you don't have a show in your back pocket when you just kind of switch off from all of that life online and just become completely messed in this other world.
6:49 am
the i've got to some of the hardest times in my life by being in the ocean in the regular basis. it's so important to me the, you know, there's a reason why people have been through to. busy that or being very difficult times auction, you know, see, comfortable saying, say, kind of physical and mental, sorry, the policies are so worst protect them because we have habitats here that you don't
6:50 am
find anywhere else in the world. we have habitats here, the huge kaufman stores, the count force themselves, you know, not just be to full but not just and this re grounds for juvenile fish. they're actually also stoned defensive, and they're also natural comp installs. these are all things that can benefit us, as well as you know, just saving a function within, within the marine, the, as a lots protects and a lot that needs to be done. but we can stop by just showing people how, how much there is and, and you know, what we, what we actually started to start to lease the of the ecological restoration of a natural. well, it's a complex subject, has to be there to the future and restore what has been done. we must continue to
6:51 am
recognize the livelihood, instead consent facing communities, both here and around the world. yet when we can find ways of working together, the outcome can of the surprising as it is rewarding the ground breaking project policy island england is living proof of how urban environments and the natural wealth contrives to gather the in 2008 fundings across route project excavated over 8000000 tons of us to make way for us, new, underground valet. deep beneath the capital. lacking in partnership with the royal society for the protection of buds. 3000000 tons of
