would not say how much the latest tickets to space costs, but it previously cited prices of $55000000.00 per person. just reminder, the top story we're following for you this, our ukraine's present for a lot of me is the landscape has secured a pledge from the us for the delivery of f. 16 fighter jets. while at the g 7 summit in japan, russia has questioned whether this will lead to nato involvement in the comp terry margin. thanks for watching the not just on the other day. so much is happening all at once. we take time to understand this is the day and in depth look, use events analyzed by experts and critical thinkers. pieces with
11:16 am
weekdays on dw, the tenants, useful life. the as far as we know is the only and how much in front of it, you know, universe thought that i faxed it to you have life, it support that is on this right. the since the 1970s. we have diminished of a 60 percent of all wild life, a not to have a times the
11:17 am
illusion, one and 7 see she's now facing extinction. and many others in decline. the time has come to we address that finding the today. the united kingdom is one of the most nature depletes these countries on our planet. but now is not the time to despair. as individuals and communities, a paving the way towards the right to each and the now is a time for speech like the
11:18 am
on the i love mouth scotland change is in the the light tailed eagles, the case largest bed frame with a wing span of up to 8 feet this magnificent that was hunted to extinction in the u. k. and the 19th century is the time in victoria and out shooting spouse, another game the time when sheet, but being bored into the highlands and they didn't want any predators around. so why until he goes to the top of the list to get rid of the last name, whites out ego in the highlands, shots in the chapman's in 1918. just shameful, really want to human beings are capable of doing but after decades of hard
11:19 am
work and dedication that by the breeding david sexton and all those involved, it's been a lifelong lee. but as now the of to several found attempts, the reintroduction program gathered momentum in the 19 seventy's. and today that continued work has led to one of the most successful wildlife conservation projects in the building 10 the yeah, no way. i'm 75 to 85. and they were kept in avery's own room and said, taffeta and then released. and that was the beginning of it already. that's how it it all started. the fees, well that did not accept piece. and then from despite to successful reintroduction,
11:20 am
it took 10 years until they sold a fast successful breeding attempt from a positive settlement on i was lucky enough to be here in 1985 looking 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 battery and risk of a collective. and it was a collect does that probably finish the beds of a 100 years previously? and so it was amazing on a to be part of that bit of conservation history and how little tent on the edge of the lo, looking out, kyle: just need to use this little thought. 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 the descendants of that matriarchal ego
11:21 am
still living on now today in 2021 was a record to you for checks the highest number of checks i've ever known in my time . and we've fledged 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 that sort of size kind of a little bullet down that would sit in time if you had in 10 weeks, they've gone from that totally cloud, an eagles. the 8 foot long span, which is just phenomenal dates of drugs. 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 the tab and it's not until they reach maturity at 5 years old,
11:22 am
but they get that amazing tail blown bright yellow beep and not beaming white tail balls success story and bringing these beds back from extinction shows that change can happen when individuals and communities come together. but even today, conservation conflict remains a hotel one of the reasons why teddy 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 white toad equals a gun to take some lambs. the deer, but what's going to fall now is this, the exaggeration and the claims of losses. which go way beyond reality. that equals why teddy doesn't particular have now just become the number one thing to fly, like that because of big scavengers. so they will come in and take something off the other predators and stopped in the process. and if they see something like that
11:23 am
going on, show it out, they'll come in and intervene and take the land. it might already be dead, it might be very dead. but either way, just what's the equal look at see and get flamed, that just an easy target. it's human kind and predators, you know, we, we tell them right, the not 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 understand it from the farmers and across those point of view because the animals of their livelihood. but what we're trying to do is find ways through that to find ways of accommodating these bugs back in our lives. normally. so ways that we know that they respond to things like diversity feeding you and you have to put
11:24 am
out as an alternative soup. so slow, that means they happen to be missed and they're learning 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 new changes in the way land is manage. the people are wanting to be moved about because logical restoration. and that's their main focus . it's not about of the stalking gas shooting sheets, ami a welcome white tony, looks like one of them. so there's a definite new era approaching the despite misconceptions. white towed eagles shining, pushing from keeping other predators of pay, maintaining balance within the food chain. and for an isolated island community, like most of these magnificent beds whose to generate surprising economic benefit
11:25 am
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, it is also just that was a mental health and wellbeing. 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 up for 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 of any pounds. and then economic study david has never forgotten his fasting counter, plus staying among the 1980s. i'd see my associate on
11:26 am
a holiday here to fill this mess it the nothing across the law in my blanket decries 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, the protection of the finally becoming the malware protection officer in 2003 jump. 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. well, no way did for us back in the seventy's, you know, they had a thriving population applied to the egos a night donated couple of 100 birds over the 3 release. now because i was a doing so well, we're helping projects who are releasing want to the eagles on the on of white. so now there are numbers of white vehicles already soaring over the south and west
11:27 am
coast of india. real surprised for me. that model is able to be part of that project, increasing a we need to make room in our lives for these animals that rightfully 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, a buyer. that's us countryside i still get a huge kick out of watching these buds and i do it. so how's a we know it's part of the job. i need to know where they are and what they're doing and then secure thought. i would also just do it because i loved doing it the i came
11:28 am
having the right good friend back in the eighty's. he's now passed away. but that's my connection to him. you know, i think about it all the time. when i bought my girlfriend here, now my wife, you know, she loved mile and the eagles are part of that connection. my daughter's life growing up on mount eagles upon her that lives side of the whole connection. speed went to davis, my life is i think strictly into twine and con, separate it sorry. yeah, of the then the,
11:29 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 mammals 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 failing trees and building dams, they can improve the quality of rivers. slowing down,
11:30 am
cleaning and storing water. and these newly formed river habitats attracted diverse abundance of wild life. once native because the whole of the u. k. fevers were hunted to extinction 400 years ago. for them meet for the st. guns. spots successful attempts to bring them back into wild have led to the fest up in b for the introduction program in plymouth. lead and supported by progressive thinking council the 6 heck to be waltz. 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 wild wildlife can link up trying to create
11:31 am
a more diverse of the top. i'm so the locals and just nature in general. j best way began walking approved from 5 years ago and became inspired to bring beavers 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 because we really see it as a the logistics a was very difficult, but i think for most of the passions side of things we'll, we're ready how the heads in the right place. and they're already king trying to achieve that. the of to many consultations that passion and dedication page on november 2020
11:32 am
alone male piece of was introduced into, especially posing sasha, the fast to inhabit the valley. in over 400 years. few months may sense. he was joined by a female when she was 1st released, she lived separately aside from the mail 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 the more dominant and in control. and he sort of just hooks up with what she wants to do and she'll start sticks off and she brought down the tray. she felt the majority of the dog. so she saw of the ring leader and he's just lot follows around everywhere you ration fevers can way up to 38 kilograms and
11:33 am
a substantially larger than batches. well they're, they will clumsy, forge for food on land. they have a water proof flare that eyes nevada like tao for swimming, which makes them better suited to life in the world. so there's a common misconception that they like fish, but they don't eat fish that completely. i've ever us so they basically will strip the bulk of the tray analysis i think will become the environs in a, which is basically 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 with out feed on that piece is half
11:34 am
a life. and the recent arrivals attracted a lot of interest from both young and old, within the community. and there is no doubts about joe's feeling towards these animals, which is an tim, the nickname of these, a man off of that, just to be honest, that he may never sent him a lot of it just just barely. and i think that it's amazing to see an animal that can just basically do what you want to do for conservation and its own time. and it can completely shape an environment. you know, you can change a 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. so yeah, i think that great and i think they should be protected and encouraged to spreads and controlled ways. the, the main reservation i saw was the welfare of the beavers. i think people worried that, you know, you might get few people coming down and breaking in and doing things that they
11:35 am
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 right going to be the patrols. steve has a lot of c not tunnel, which means the camera traps that those that can observe the night time activities as well as monitoring the welfare around the clock for a time to just follow where that feeding sign is. also, if it's something interested in a new, a new tree, they started nor, you know, obviously when they started building the time. and when 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 it good for is like golf. luckily was just for yourself and can not can beaver and trying to anticipate why they've got a chance can already see a difference in the landscape of to any a few months of be frame away with the baby is one of the main names was to
11:36 am
potentially show that flooding can be reduced from that behaviors. if you imagine you're going to move to costs, that naturally is the same all the way through. in our case, it's 600 meters at the same topography of water and then they've not put them in front of it. you know, half of really fast area of water comes in. it slows right down when it's done by the end of the both channel, you can see it. and notice the difference between the channel that may have affected in the channel that have affected the positive beams, install modems, and slight was having the problem channel flat. and it will, it can be sold, captured, show that in a big storm event, that those big dams should bounce all to reduce the amount that flows through the siding down stream. yet sometimes the johnny to a while the planet can take longer than expected and then a crew twist of fate. a story took a very different time when
11:37 am
a severe storm hit bassetti, the torrential rain caused substantial damage to the enclosure. and those fevers escape the males, salt refuge nearby. sadly, the female died of the if these architects have been here just a little longer with more time to build them and slow the flow for to and the outcome could have been sorry. different jo and the team remain committed to the project. and a rebuilding the fences with a new strong good design say i hoping to welcome beavers back again in the near future. the what's the facing that
11:38 am
can see it would be so that the visit proved from other or thirty's were to follow seats in areas at risk of floating 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 of a 6000 items and the war to surrounding these coastal communities of many veins. tonight, the talk to iowa hudson is a research scientist. and the roots is around the west coast of scotland and have
11:39 am
passed in the state of the hebrides is basically one of the most amazing places that we have not only in the u. k, but in europe is huge. they seem to be by a diverse place. and the reason is, so by an i base is because of the topography. so around and you get lots and lots of finding channels right next. very shallow areas, comfortable is extremely rich. and so when that comes up to the surface and certain areas around the world that's causing the truth of falling. so that brings these looking nutrients pop up to the surface. and oxygen was like kind of like a centralized that those and on cultural land around to see if the opportunities to change diversity of life. and it's just
11:40 am
a really, really special thing, the feasible it is of which is you clinton, derived from the greek meaning wondering animals. this type of clinton change anything from microscopic organisms to largest species like jelly, fish. this pretty much plankton sets of a magic whose sequence of events attracting other creatures to come and feed. so you get fish like micro hiring sprout song deals. some deals are actually the lifeline. if the hebrides, if you like, there really fast, which makes and that brings all the savers recitations of the whales. and then the also brings the species i work for most closely with the task. and so the reaching is of 40 feet and then it is the 2nd
11:41 am
largest show can the ocean and they migrate to the shoes every year. making this area, one of the world's biggest hotspots, the feeding on the duplex, and they sell to up to 2000 tons of c will return to our 3 that goes out. seem like a giant says the these gen 2 creatures grew 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, the very slow moving. and so it's very, very easy to use to helping skin. so it's liver, it contains an oil field, squalling oil. back in the day that used to be used as an energy source
11:42 am
specifically thankfully, the hunting of the shocks was bound to 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 lived, so it takes them a long time to grow, to reach their actual max and size spending a small percentage of that time 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 vast can shop comes back to walters every summer. i mean, or they come back up to the surface to feed on the points and then we know that they go back date and, you know,
11:43 am
they combine great poses and kilometers and they can go thousands of neat to sleep as well. we don't exactly know what it is that they doing. don't know. we've never signed the nice thing. no one's actually ever seen investment or given birth in the wiles. and we're only just starting to scratch the surface of what the boston talks. life is outside of a time, and 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 assignment oil machine. so all of the cocks have to be turning for the next part of
11:44 am
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 is that it symbolizes the housing christmas. and if the shops 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 of have produced. the boss can shouts that normally, every 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 led over it given up height, she and her team got lucky on the late tool this afternoon. they caught sight of
11:45 am
abbas ski shock and had one of the few encounters in the region. got you the and i felt really nice because it's very rare for me to get see almost the end of august and to have not seen one the entire season. also, it just shared joy. it signals to us that the shelves of silva and the ecosystem is still working, how it should, the
11:46 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 me feel quite swollen. so i guess it was kind of takes you out with yourself and then the they are very, very focused on where the status so she lying nicely. busy is flat and quiet the surface st. valley new way through that. and so it's almost like open the door into i think it, well, and you're just a very interesting concept that the not only is a window into a world that you know, usually why not pause, but it's also kind of like
11:47 am
a drawing here and just saying this is animals that have been successful for such a long time, waiting longer and then 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, it's a huge influence on the natural world itself. you know, i've seen on the planet for almost 3 decades. and 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 are taking these ottomans iras news go system and we offers, and that decline. so the majority of oceanic shock species are threatened by
11:48 am
extinction. positive today. i love having lived all her life by the sea. diving beneath the waves has opened her eyes to this hidden wild from 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 really get talents to think about what else would have been kind of what's around in the search and really, really mindful experience the you don't have 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.
11:49 am
the i've got through some of the times of 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 all the injury difficult times auction, you know, see comfortable saying, fair kind of physical or mental, sorry, the policies are so worst protect them because we have habitats here that you don't
11:50 am
find anywhere else in the world. we have habitats here, the huge kaufman stores, the count force themselves. you know, that not just beautiful, but not just in this re grounds for juvenile fish. they're actually also stoned defensive. and they're also natural comp in store. these are all things that can benefit us as well as, you know, just 7, a function within, within the marine, the, there's a lot for tests 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 me for. we actually started to start to lease the a logical restoration of all natural. well, it's a complex subject has to be there to the future and
11:51 am
restore, even though we must continue to recognize the livelihood. shad consent, facing communities, both here and around the world. yet when we can find ways of working together, the outcome can also be as surprising as it is rewarding. the ground breaking project policy island england is living proof of how urban environments and the not to weld contrives together in 2008 fundings across route project, excavated over 8000000 tons of us to make way for us new underground fairway. deep beneath the capital lacking in partnership with the royal society for the protection of buds. 3000000 tons of the excavated
11:52 am
a was relocated to help create an expensive coast to wetland. the most innovative project of this type in northern europe. by raising the land above sea level, they created a new into title area, salt marsh islands and much slots. covering 115, hacked us as well as a network of creeks, say line lagoons and large areas of grazing most land, which is managed by sea phone with the rising sea levels threatening the case case 9. these specialized areas, not any provide floods, protection that they have created, which fire diverse habitats benefits in place to wild life and the local community . the policy island
11:53 am
is now home again to large populations of native to migrate, to reboot and has become a conservation area. internationally, complaints in the goals and tons look in great numbers as to over wintering, wages and wild file in the summer months, nesting bows like the opposite ones on the brink of extinction in the u. k. now the rise in this protected haven, the have a ton is one of the most successful conservation storms in recent years. with its distinctive up 10 feet of a 6 feet by sweeping the bills from side to side. that's

despise the behavior is particularly noticeable around the same time when they have ex and young checks to protect the within hours of hatching. these business lucky checks able to feed themselves under the watch a lot of money and but it takes several weeks until that for the flex the salt
11:56 am
most just like these know any support married wildlife. they also provide 1000000000 pounds worth of coastal flood defense is around the u. k. the, the success of this project seems that we can find solutions beneficial to both industrial on natural environments. the sometimes we just need to think in need to refresh the project. so 9800000000 miles to feed by 2050. the challenge of meeting those needs was preserving on natural well testing f, as in great to thankfully, some people are finding solutions. james
11:57 am
folk staves grew up on an arbor fund in 9, no shops here. the desire to investigate sustainable food reduction, met him to return to his funding rates. at this time, it was at quick culture. so when people asked me what i do, i usually say like pricing cymbalta when a local muscle phone came up to san including, james found himself with the cutting edge of sustainable foaming people talk about the sign, but it seems a bit of a kind of password and i'm kinda trying to get behind what, what the sustainable, main, and for me it's, how do you produce this pricing that we will need have a from that you can increase the size of it, you know, kind of, it's scaling. it's so that you can produce more and more, but without having a negative effect on the environment, the
