i really think you guys sorry for being such a folder for future the tournament known as rolands carol, looks likely to be dominated by the published player. so the news for now coming up next on the w. r doc, film deep sea creed is part one of a series about deep sea warning for munich, spicer in the entire news team here in berlin. thanks for watching the the the is, it is simple, is having to be more peaceful than ever on the move world wide and such a profession. life with a guy successive in cardboard. that's the,

that's the issue and find out about the baby story info, migraines. the, the, in the middle of the pacific ocean, an ambitious expedition has set taps to explore the deep sea going when no human has ever gone before, where a numerous deposits of minerals night dormant country menissi benefit from this on top, the source of wealth, the technology to harvest, states already exists. the 1st prototype of the deep sea collect tests of the trash and stones is called atanya. it's being tested at a depth of several 1000 meters. the scientist monitoring its

deployments. because what is technically feasible might actually destroy a delicate underwater wells. is it less the risk to susan's, i'm going to them. these are basically batteries in stone form. this is exactly what you need to build a battery. there's manganese, nickel, cobalt and copper to conduct the electricity and environmental protection organizations such as green piece one to prevent deep sea mining at all costs. it's the last cost of the planet that humans have yet to exploit for resources of the oceans in danger. the

making peace with nature is of the funding task of the century, preserving as restarting the oceans, ability to much of humanity and regulate all climates will be that the funding challenges of these back at 71 percent of the surface is coverage by oceans. it's the neurologist habitat to on the planet, the, the ocean surface, an important teach buffer and comp and sync. they observe about a quarter of manmade. c, o 2 emissions, and thus mitigate the effects of climate change the depth on need added on it, or as needs the oceans to survive. suzy goods,

they regulate the climate um they provide for the home. they provide the oxygen, we bring worth and fish to our son of it, by the way and do things. but the world's oceans of suffering that ruthlessly being fished back. the waste produced by an increasing the affluent society is becoming more prevalent in the war time. virtually indestructible plastic waste in dangerous animals and the habitats so called ocean dead zone. so guessing as a logic climate change is also causing sea levels to rise. and after the last it's exploitation continues, sand and gravel of being dredged for uses building materials. at this point where we've lost 50 percent of our ocean, 50 percent of the wells and the fish that lived in the us. and when my grandfather 1st started scuba diving after the 2nd world war from disappeared. now we're

exploring that he was searched places the to still quite inaccessible. we know almost nothing of depend on to the animal species living that the yet squared away. there are results which know jill some, the c badge they made of cobalt, nicole manganese and co pay. just the materials to meet the rapidly growing demand for batch. we use as the well shifts away from fossil fuels, getting metals from our planet can be done without any environmental impact. so what we need to be thinking about is how do we make decisions that cause lease term to the planet that we're trying to protect? in june 2021, the united nations in new york was focusing attention on the highly threatening to

marine habitats. the un proclaimed in ocean decades to advance the protection of sustainable development of the world's oceans. actress, data will develop and these challenges should be top priorities for everyone. everyone, welcome to the united deck of open science together that has discovered the science we needs for the ocean. we want. thank you. mm. the in march 2021 in the midst of the global corona virus pandemic, special shit was built to the us pacific fleets, naval base in san diego. the vessel, the island pride, was preparing to go to sea. its crew and the company and european scientists were going on a special mission the

as part of the mining impact program. there was such as we're heading out to examine what happens on the c bed during the world's 1st tests of us. 35 ton underwater harvesting machine called a poly metallic o manganese note, your collect sign, who was this house vehicle? it's a big project. we want to analyze the environmental impacts of among denise and not you will collect on working in the deep sci fi and we have quite a few scientific groups on board. yeah. the test, this is the 1st test of it's kind of the way really close to the conditions you might expect from a deep sea mining operation. it's very important for the environmental analyses, parameters, understand it, that needs to be development, stand off the answer because that's what we're doing together with so many great

scientific groups via a concentration of your scientific minds, actually on the oil fall. a mother texted me. we have all the technologies, the marine research institute offer. we've got all sorts of equipment here. are all very high tags. yes, i'm really looking forward to know that it's finally getting underway. all kinds of measuring and testing equipment we used during this expedition, including this giant boat land, which has already been in service for 25 years at the lending gear that's. that's right. but then not for the moon, but for lending on the c beds. so very much like that we will draw, fits from the ship and most of the, with some different kinds of sensors. and then it's, it goes in 3 fold to 14 major steps, and then make a quiet landing on the sea. that's all we

want to know, what's the impact this of big c mining, which is a concern to many people also to myself. i think we need to talk to patients of sufficient stone. they're close to where this money is going to happen. so just so you know, better that we can better predict what the in pennsylvania for such as want to investigate fast well, industry is ready to dig this advertisement for the canadian mining enterprise. the metals company promises a simple solutions and as you from the sun and wind is replacing fossil fuels to power the transmission to a sustainable future. we need batteries to store this energy. batteries are made from metals such as cobalt, nickel, copper, and manganese. until now we've been mining the earth for them, digging deep uh and wider for lower quality orse. nature disappears. human software

. earth suffers. but there is another way of all that's needed, a mutton robots. but is it that simple? the canadian city of toronto is with simmons this semester lives. she's the head of sustainable se for the belgian mining company g. i saw them manganese know, jo. collectivism is getting a series of tests in the pacific as we are together globally. we are facing a climate crisis and i think, you know, there is this increasing recognition around the world that we need to do something and we need to do something now. so that's a big part of that is moving towards clean energy. so moving away from,

from fossil fuels and what that means is that we're moving away from a planet fuel on fossil fuels to one that is built on metals and minerals because clean metal technology is so metal intensive. so far, these will materials have come from mines on land located primarily in asia and africa. the work is often disruptive and tom sold to nature the mines that are often located in politically unstable countries like the democratic republic of congo, where there's not much respect for human rights. the work is often suffer horrendous working conditions risking their lives sticking metals that fetched prices fall greater than the wages. the industry says getting results is from the c bed will be far easier. we have options about where those metals can come from and, and we're exploring one which is going to the sea floor for them. and there's

a lot of reasons why going to the sea floor intuitively seems to make some sense. and one is we don't need to remove that for us. and in some cases, tropical rain forests are being removed to get some nickel. we don't need to remove for us or our single tree to get to the middle of its on the sea floor. nor do we need to move mountains to get to the orbit or body. and people don't need to be relocated. so right away those, those reasons make a lot of sense. but of course, that doesn't mean that we can just dive to the deep sea and not do it thoughtfully . we also have to get the research done so that we understand how to proceed well minimizing our environmental footprint. come, that'd be deep sea results collection without causing new environmental problems. the islands, pride's deposit from san diego for a 6 week expedition to find out expect patients for hi

miss you own is this mission is to investigate the environmental impact civil list . we know a lot about this marine habitats on that. it's ecology to you, but the animal is that and if that of a nice but not necessarily what the impact will be when big equipment and machines on driving around on the seat that america's board and have them find on our objective is simply to assess departmentalized cost and to mutually take measurements underneath that we can present these findings to the public in a scientific key balanced way. younger, some child relational at 5 science industry and policy makers all watch the expedition closely. the findings could have far reaching consequences. as humans move towards the age of green technology, the of the crew and researches

waived farewell as the san diego sky line receded, the boats went off into the night of 2 as some countries and companies would like to develop new sources for room materials as quickly as possible to make the ocean a source of mineral resources capable of days, 10 islands located around 600 columbus has of the west african coast. the country has half a 1000000 inhabitants. most of them descended from 4 mount african slaves. once the colony of portugal, it gained independent, same 1975. the even though capes, that is considered one of the most prosperous countries in africa, the stand the loss of poverty. so many the sea is the slowest of life.

with a look at the coast line in some places indicate something is wrong here. whether we want sandy beach is a now on the stove, the kind of a go works for the conservation organization. loved to know, she also takes people on choice. the nature has been most of leslie explored to the women. what should truck go buy loaded with sand from the show. this was just bought the sand and so we sell to someone else. so they come here speak of the sense and then the seller to the market is like a small business. he's not the really big company. so there are several taxes. i

was just only one. and as you see dozens of so much st anymore, so you need to that they're still exist if you'd be. so if there's a against the law, it's would be then a big a descent. but the surveillance is very weak. that's the big problem. it's not allowed to big sense, although there is not civilians here, but it could be controlled on the road. but no one doesn't yeah. the 2 conservationists lucon stands to see how these people are legally stripping sand from beneath the feet. no, i mean i've got another truck is loaded

this time with sand taken from the sea bed days ago. the sound is sold as rule material for the construction industry for use this back. breaking job has been the only way for people like maria to and little money to the 80 piece ago side of it. that's very exhausting and tiring. sometimes there's even a dangerous drowning we found in the walton like this. it's dangerous so much. but if we don't do this, there is no other way for us to win money to get the, you know, put that on the conservation is think diane ok time. are you the lodge on a lounge that years ago? the bay of lee, but at the baka was a sandy beach covered with gainesville, mazda, 6 of them. nothing of that remains today. and i assess the people digging up to

some to know what they doing here isn't right. i will 5. so when you walk through i've asked how much they had to do this kind of job and that was short because each truck is around $30.00 to $40.00 euros, and if they are desperate to spell even french, 5 years they sell and the driver will say at least around kind of thing to use a i even ask if they would like to change their job to do something else. they said yes, if there is the

sand has been taken from the seas for use beaches of disappearing and not just in cape, ready. the sand is gathered in small bouts or with a numerous industrial ships from many oceans. the impacts on devastating scientists and conservationists of low moon dive degradation of habitats. alyssa, pausing direct to the intellect we owe conceal directly or indirectly with sand or gravel that comes from the ocean's theme. this is also a very big problem in the construction industry worldwide because so much sand and gravel are being taken from beaches, including right off the coast. that entire eco systems are now changing. and biodiversity is suffering. an entire structures are being eroded um and last but not least, i organized maggio like groupings are work behind the scenes. people are forced to

transport sound illegally, comfortable, entire islands are now almost free of sand in order. it must be said to enable a construction boom in the globalized afterward west and phone, which would actually have no future at all in this day. and age is evil hopkins. so this is an issue that is causing major problems in our scenes at the moment. but hardly anyone knows that hopefully mobile high to the slicing will call me month in india, africa, and all over the world, even in the north sea, sand is being dredged from sea beds. descriptions of sandy c shows no longer ring true. the, the, the suns typically makes up around one so just concrete, gigantic buildings,

and does it country 0. so it may just send from the sea because does it sound does on suitable for building the even the sand to prestige projects such as the artificial islands of 2 by, comes from the sea for exploitation has fatal consequences for coastal areas, microorganisms, and habitats on either the well, the meanwhile, the islands, pride has headed for an army or of ocean known as the carrion clipton zone between mexico until like the enormous quantities of pulling metallic nodules, an estimated 13000000000 towns lie on the sea floor. it takes almost

6 days to the island to prides to reach its destination. these devices help the keys to the expedition success. everything have to work. the tension was palpable. there was such as play music to help themselves relax. that is, i'm the one that's at t v 9. now this is what's called a d z nanda. and inside is a module like this, optical measuring device. so, so many electrodes all connected to it in the corner. they all these roads that we see here is a very small to the optically measure the oxygen content in the sentimental. so the whole thing is no one to the seasonal. and then there is a mutual niche that's pro just before hand on the floor, and we then use it to drawing these words into the settlement and measure how much oxygen is that really high tech, right? because definitely, yeah, it's

a challenge for any device conditions. they're extreme, columbus has below the surface, the supposed to be a mess. and yes, it's just turned down that what we want to measure from the oxygen levels on the sea floor in the distribution produced different results when you bring them up all day in columbus in. and oxygen is something, as we know, al sales, that's essentially system how many organisms use oxygen. and we see that as an indicator of how much the system is messed. the thing is if you just the substrate a loss or remove it completely, you're taking away a layer that's being deposited of the many thousands of years where active processes take place in a bind and stood it up, put, gotten rid of it. so the last thing you saw, so you already have a chance to see now from the measurements. does that have an effect or does it look exactly the same as it did before that and the dead? and although

the island pride has made its way to the belgian license area, this is where it was due to join the ship belonging to the belgian mining company d. i saw the boat. who has that to test baton. yeah, the, well, the 1st machine prototypes are collecting manganese know deals. i'm going to measure my docs norman's itself, because if i remember lots of manganese nodules here, we can see on the map with a mark license serious of the international c by the 30 for manganese. no tools are the ones at the moment. these are all exploration licensed areas for companies or countries of acquired licenses and are looking to see how many manganese novels are located there, which parts of the area of mines in one of your finance. now we're going to the belgian licensed area and there is license as hell for the company tsr and then ask . and then in 2 weeks courts will go to the german licensed area which is a bit. so twist that there's the stuff on for g s. halls, person of contact ha flush,

a name was also on board. he was responsible for communication between the industrial vessel and the scientist says, the tests began in the belgian license area was as, as its own, a bit like the wild west area is a mont townhome, the sea bed, the 2nd nation. so companies are allowed to explore, such as the belgian company, saw here. they were already in the working area. this meeting was taking place on the high seas on the loading platform at the moment and the g stood petunia, able to dive to a depth of several 1000 meters. the

it's 1st knife was being prepared. the technical challenge was for me to vote the device out to manage the extreme prussia and to maneuver the program to rates independently connected to the ship by a supply line. only a stick has a human um the gsr had been developing the baton. yeah. as a many is this, mona model was built a few years ago now atanya to was to face its 1st real test if it passed with flying colors, the vessel could possibly become

a message for commercial c bed mining in the future. so for tonya to is a say for non dual co service, and i think the easiest way to picture it is to think of a vacuum cleaner. so the vehicle's been designed to pick up nodules and leave as much settlement behind as possible and then bring them to basically collect them. and eventually that vehicle be collected to a riser which will bring the nodules to the surface. but baton, you 2 was designed to collect the nodules and initially collected them and have been at the back of the vehicle. and then those modules were deposited away from the, the vehicle's tracks and other points in the trial here was now it's several times into the deep sea to test this new technology. it looks like something out of

a science fiction movie. the meanwhile, on the island pride full small, stayed in touch with his ds on colleagues on the industrial ship and was brief to how to use the manganese don't to collect to for the upcoming dive. so as sylvie's quite the show, he had to pass this information on to the scientists said that the sensitive underwater and measuring instruments would not collide with baton. yeah. now is baton ya, manganese, no jewel mining in the deep sea is technically feasible. the

thoughts question still remains, how great. so the environmental risks, and all they was taking a back in tape the day on the largest island distant jago, the some of the former sandy beaches and now just barren stones owners. the sound has been gathered up and sold stones mixed with gun homepage, dominate the base. this it didn't, it. marine scene has been severely damaged. the, the world stood largest population of look ahead, see test whole lives around cape sadie. today the animal is on the read list of endangered species. it's strictly protected, but the removal of the sand to stubs habitats vital. so that reproduction on the

vega into a conservation organization, a committed to protecting the titles on a it's shocking to see a female struggling over the hot stones and finding no place to lay her rags. yes, it used to be a sandy beach, but i didn't uh, knew this place before. i've just bought some older people and locals would describe just the place of the sandy beach tassels returned to the beach where they hatched to lay their eggs. usually it takes 20 years for the animals to reach sexual maturity. that much has changed into decades. yeah, the vatican said story because this is the device and left here, but there is no sense. so it came out, but unfortunately substitute them to see it came this morning of the 7th day am the

the really really says because a name on the deck has wound around here. maybe i've been going to use uh uh bye to mess. and when it came out the that these house being completed by human beings. so this is really said, so i think we have a you to, you try to restore this place in order to remote the, the conservation on a has a degree in marine biology. she spent time abroad and realized that something must urgently be done in her home country to protect the ocean's nature. she found it the nature conservation organization loved to know right here in 2013. but now

dozens of help us of working on projects on the beaches. things of really taking off are usually ones because the visions to be successful. we need people locals. so we get that was that like a specialist for the nature of the, for the spaces and excites classes and it was more difficult, but now he sees it and as science and he just doesn't get the stuff. we have the top community, the phase, and also uh, which drives me via life. and then to this approach is simple financed by donations and tries to generate awareness by adding a bit of kind of for example, photo mosquito is the name of this fishing village on the by a doe in found no health bay. the fishing boats beached on stones assigned loan ship to way and then walks through the village

and she's proud and lots has changed here in the last few months. the place has a new look what i can see in the south and doing the same thing. it was when, when is i can see this is regarding the fishing and the books and the locals. they like it and we saw it as a positive way of make people more aware about the nature of conservation. so we stop and bring the faces about the local bi adversity and we didn't stop yet. so we plan to do more. for instance, the global, the village, and beautiful thinking, what's the rock most people? and so the local can associate this visit with uh, it was the reason i live in now. ocean flora and fauna decorate the facades of the houses. they are a constant reminder of the importance of preservation.

the exact to this famous marine explorer plays an important role is that the school visited by using fam, a 1948 with 2 are the clinics. so don't know and the speaker so they came here best and equipment. they wanted the if you want to do some record of nevada, this notion. so we decided to bring back to this family that was almost lost because the majority of the locals, we didn't even know who was jeff still. and if, if she or she was around here, the check still was a legendary ocean. explore the french diving pioneer and still commentary filmmaker

introduced people to the underwater. well, like to know of the hebrews, the images of the depths never seen before into the world's living means the crystal wanted to explode the unknown world under the sea, and called to the oceans to be protected. the . this is the french it and then took coast not far from the mouth and why river. the granddaughter of shack castille and her family live nearby. after her father's death, alexandra cristo spent almost her entire childhood with her grandfather that left

smoke. she's very concerned about the state of the ocean's. i think if we continue with business as usual, where we're over fishing, we're booting, we are advancing with ideas like deep sea mining. we're going to see our ocean disappear and we'll continue to see a decline. and at a certain point, you reach tipping points where you have exponential loss. and that's hard to come back from. you can't really come back from exponential loss, like we can put coven back in the bottle. you know that the damage is done. so once we reach those tipping points with the ocean, the damage will be done and we won't be able to reverse it. the next sondra says that her grandfather to try to dive before she could walk hun love as the oceans is his legacy.

like him, she makes document trees, advocates for the preservation of marine environments, and look for ways to save the oceans the she wishes she still has her grandfather at test site, in addition to her husband, whose then now my grand father passed away 20 years ago. and left a huge void in the world, not just for me and my family, but i think it felt like there was this huge cruise, so shaped hole in the universe after he died that no one himself. but what i realize is that every time someone tells me i grew up watching your grandfather, he really inspired me. i love the ocean now, and i want to do something to help protect it. we're finally at

a point in time where we can maybe 10 years ago, 20 years ago, we weren't, we didn't have the technologies, we didn't have the solution. we didn't have the urgency that we have today. and so my hope is that for everyone who loved him and loved his feelings and loved exploring the oceans with him, and that discovery and sense of on wonder that he brought my hope is that they will harness that and use it to create change. because that is the best legacy he could possibly have left on the, on the cape that day, islands on or into groups of hell, posts of bills to protection area for tough to clutches on one of the remaining sandy beaches. the educational signs show

passes by the importance of the oceans and the knife in them the. this is where the test whole slave directs for weeks, none to know what she's over the catches of eggs that have been collected here the organization and shows the baby tassels can hach safely. we are checking which in this red hat, which to nest the by now we have a 147 mess here. so the team was checking the box to the conservation for the people to have a job so that someone in their family and also twice

then dispatch and the nature the small steps. but they make a difference. the jack coastal would likely be happy to see these efforts to conserve maureen wildlife the the, [000:00:00;00]

the endless expenses of bad move to stretch beyond the island, pride's helicopter platform. he is to to level the ships in the belgian license area in the clarion kitchen zone and the pacific ocean from the jack summers. the european scientists watched as the belgian company g, a saw pine, the tickets, deep diving, high tech machine, from it ship the norman to energy the. now the research has many measuring instruments and senses and robots known as our fees were coming into play. no, at 4 and a half, columbus has down into the depths. they were positioned around the deployment area on the sea bed wip atanya was making its way

the, the scientists wanted to know the impact that time you would have on nature. the the control room is located on one of the lower decks of the island prides. and the pilots was sitting staring at them on his, his hours as they controlled the robots on the deep sea floor. with there was an overwhelming feeling of being in a different love. the assistant station is, of course it actually is a corner of the wells between fanny now and everything was seen had nobody else was seen before. 7, actually, that's always exciting. scientific

history was being made at that moment, 4 and a half 1000 meters below the ship. extremely important research was taking place under extreme conditions. the easy, crazy from senegal. i'm as far as i. ready ready mean

is the world to me. everything for one of only 20 female rappers in our country and listen to her story. the fast feedback's be may be the 130 but the works. chris, why behind discovered new adventures and 360 degrees and explore fascinating. world heritage sites dw, world heritage 360 yeah. now highly toxic asbestos. it's been banned for decades in many countries.

damage cost to people in the environment is catastrophic. taking more than a 100 years to completely dispose of all especially those containing material sounding to tell you the never ending story of asbestos starts june 21st on d w. the . this is due to the news line from berlin attorneys, as president says he won't be b. e use border guard case site as message came shortly before tax began with the leaders on the aid and migration, the north african country has become an increasingly important gateway for migrants
