to see a political conflict, missouri this, i'm afraid i'll never see him again. when, oh, you lost on the run. starts the send, the a c, d w. the today, many of the world shark species are in danger of extinction due to over fishing every year. 100000000 of the animals are killed for using cosmetics, animal feed and dish has like shark fin soup in europe. it's big business types are expensive. the gold of the senior marine biologist uses a hidden camera to uncover the truth behind the trade and unsettling site. it's an over expectation of nature and then at the

it's 4 30 am in vigo. a major official report on the spanish atlantic coast is home to one of your, of the largest fish markets. the premises is off limits to the public, but a 100 meters away. our team is fitting marine biologist, who customala with a hidden camera. ready, ready? the market halls are guarded by an array of fences surveillance cameras, port police, and security officials. all designed to keep an authorized people out ruler is going to try to sneak in. it's the only way he can document the quantities of shark that are being sold here on in and positive eyes. and the green and portugal have the world's biggest shocks, which includes funding operating in the atlantic and other oceans. particularly this is one of the world's biggest sharp trade homes. i know that goes on sucks

that sort of as we make contact with the local industry insider who wants to remain anonymous. he's scoping out the area to let lou customer not know what to watch out for. meanwhile, beulah and reporter, po, niga, track which boats have entered the port that's entire shift. these are 3 fishing boats that arrived yesterday and on by dean. but those 2 are what we call long liners on each side. they catch tuna swordfish on sharpener of chavez boons of hi site. so that means they could well adjust, unloaded sharks, high off on selling certain types of shark is still legal throughout the you. but increasingly, politicians and experts are questioning the trade. that's one reason why many and vigo are wary of the media. that's, i'll see if it's over exploitation of nature and in a to, if we take these fish out of the ocean well enough to strong and tighten marie and

have a tom's going to needing some more around this old c on such to spend to years researching sharks and their role in marine ecosystems, he dives with blue sharks, mekaux sharks, and tiger sharks and various parts of the world without a cage to protect him. he studies their behavior and collect data on population and distribution higher, but sharks have been a lifelong passion for me kind of plus and obsession minded lives. at the same time, it's important to keep things in perspective and to be objective perspective and a half a succession for what a data on this side. so because i can't let my personal feelings get in the way when it comes to evaluating an entire industry and the lots of people here in be go, rely on for their livelihood and against industry. from the mentions young people, they have 30 minutes later, our informant is back in the warehouse one security. we only have

a few hours before the goods are sold and taken away. the camera on. yeah, i'm ready. ready? with sun. we'll see you guys later. little wants to find out how many sharks are sold. here. we were told that another td crew found no shock meat when they filmed at the market, there was also no significant shock cash on sale during the visit last year. by then e u commission or for environment, oceans and fisheries. virginia is sick of issues, but was not just a coincidence that has no trouble in passing through the entrance gate. then there is a car belonging to the port police, but he keeps going, walking purposefully past the 1st large building, the just passing the hall where the small fish species are so

familiar and off. thanks to our informant, he knows that the larger fish are sold in the hall. at the end of this walkway. he gets a few suspicious looks from port employees. finally, he reaches the sales floor with an area about the size of 2 football pitches. inside traders are inspecting goods. getting caught filming here would be awkward to say the least at the back of the home. the not finds the sharks. several tons of them stacked on at least 15 pallets. just google, excuse me, as the are those blue sharks that people fits into into yeah, face and big ones too, or just juveniles are just small ones. there are quotas in place for blue sharks caught in the atlantic limit of around $58000.00 tons per year. the european

fisheries control agency carries out random inspections to monitor compliance. nobody actually knows exactly how many blue sharks there are. but marine biologist lucas miller, is alarmed by the number of dead fish here around 4 tons worth. he takes notes pretending to be a busy traitor, then to avoid attracting attention. he leaves the market as a fair film, some juveniles, and saw that there were quite a lot of babies, sharks and strips on. so as i could tell, the numbers are quite high or to it's an unsettling site. and so i was about to then back at the hotel, the biologist and reporter watched the footage in a shop. candice, it's shocking to see if it's little sharks that are basically just been born out. is less than a year old. asked me of. and here they are, the fish market. most of them would have been college in the nursery habitats,

getting us to fund the international union for conservation of nature classifies blue sharks as near threatened. for that reason, the numbers that can be caught and sold are subject to ever greater restrictions about the point, whether the quote as will stabilize populations is to be to buy in on this 1st, before people even started studying these animals, we'd already designated almost all the large truck populations in the atlantic studio. 6 sharks play a vital role in our oceans. these apex predators suit at the top of the complex inter linked food chain. they keep the ecosystem balanced, also by eating sea creatures that are sick or weak overfishing sharks. we'd take them out of what's called the food lab, upsetting the balance between predator and prey. in the long term, it would also endanger the very stocks on which the fishing industry depends. that's required to use the credit parts of

a sharp science course of the fins approaching it. and so the fins get cut off and shift to asia and especially where they're used for shocks and soup high fish flossing, super as it's a traditional dish. and that comes with a lot of promises about long life and not getting sick as also fresh glacial mazda yvonne along the beach kite does management congress yet mine is of these days. so now lu stock shows up a lot in animal feed to this on time, seemingly. it gets mixed into approaching off to best on there are a lot of companies in vigo that sell shark meat. and since we called and wrote to several traders to ask for an interview, my name is kenya, i'm a journalist from germany, but nobody was available at short notice. in an online video, the company bank in march shows how things are frozen and exported to asia by the sackful. the video shows how employees process the product in accordance with

requirements, meticulously documenting each step. the read, you know, opens on this as most read here in europe. should see it as a good thing that all the people working in the supply chain. their funding seem to be complying with the laws based on what we've seen from the facilities was that's a, that's a really positive and that's this was, it shows that these women and men who are working to feed their families aren't doing anything illegal. coming to you from your internet and is getting us cuz that's but the real conversation we need to have is about whether the laws are adequate. because that's the div um or the concert. one person who doesn't think the law goes far enough is neil's cuba. he's an h r manager and passionate driver, who has lobby to get the issue onto the european commissions agenda. he 1st started looking into the european shark trade several years ago and was concerned by what he found the most the have to do. you rich supplies,

almost half the asian market. we're always complaining, but in fact, we're the ones supplying the shock fins. and i just didn't get that to disclose it under my coffee. my got no clue guys. petition stop sending calls on your a to band sales of shark fins. he thinks that at the sale of things was banned. trading and shocked meat would also lose its appeal. he presented the european commission with over a 1000000 signatures, as well as the fins of some dead sharks. he says brussels is now looking into the potential effects of a band. on the finish, i have my doubts because we've seen what's happened with all the years. citizens initiatives, there was one cold ends at the cage gauge is against the factory farming pace. h d, you are paying commission promise to end the practice in a you and even made legally binding promises. but it's disappeared from the commission's implementation agenda. comments on the partial for the residents of v

go. fishing is a key source of income. we come to a cafe by the harbor to talk to some of the people who work on the fishing boats. journalists are viewed with suspicion around here. so we start by introducing ourselves with out our cameras, running to fishermen agreed to an interview. sharif and cna are from sierra leone and set a goal, respectively. they show us photos of their work, that sort fish, and that one's blue shock. they'll just take out this little glitch well inside and found out the high speed, but the most difficult shot more than 200 or 500 feet and of

a colleagues got hurt because of soc is very high very, very, very high. 24 hours. what most, sometimes some people die of accident, maybe the cable cuts. i mean it's you, anybody if you want to but to see a lot to respect this event, despite the dangers, shareef is happy to have found work in spain. it allows him to help support his family of see want because the only thing we got the money to buy a house, right? that's the money for a family. the company of been is and both as they call it pretty much it's a very nice company very well. maybe sometimes you get some 3000 a month as well. ship to give you 2500. so ship to give you 4000 and

the fish, i mean very, very 5 30 am the next day. marine biologist lucas miller pays another under cover visit to the fish market to gather more information. today he finds 5 tons of shocked meat on display. willow wants to see with his own eyes, exactly how the meat is sold and at what price the p begins to mingle with the traders. the auctioneer goes from pallet to pallet with a megaphone surrounded by prospective buyers. he counts down from higher to lower prices until one of the dealers snaps up the goods. the complete shark is sold for 2 year owes $88.00 per kilo. in recent years, the average export price for

a kilowatt shark fin has been 16 year rose within 5 times as much the law has seen enough to draw some conclusions. this to me is a lights says it's really sad to see the intelligent predators sold for such a little money escaped. i need to stop some states in the us, like florida to have completely outlaw the trait and sharks, insightful, some complex stuff. tom does that. so this would be your opinion as one of the major spent exporters that still haven't taken that step also for an export to be done, you're gonna splitting on michigan. most of our next stop isn't over housing. in western germany, we've come to the large scale planet ocean exhibition to meet activist for the claimant o'clock. she spent years diving with the world's largest sharks,

as well as working to protect the animals. she founded the environmental organization a last motion. among her concerns is the global trade in shark, since she's even provided the exhibition with some fins that turned up in germany. it's a kicking cycle in 2018. we were told that 3000 kilos of fins had arrived at frankfurt airport on their way from mexico to hong kong, next of that 400 kilos warrant identifiable and seem to come from protected species . the activist suspects that these sharks were sent a process with a fence or cut off live sharks, etc. the mutilated animals are then thrown back into the water and left to die in the you, this cruel practice is banned. crews have to bring the whole animal ashore even so the shark fin trade remains lucrative in europe. the hyper specimens,

invest clarkson's, or the gold of the sea of fish light and the fishing cruise in the you get $10.00 to $12.00 zeros for a kilo of said in the wholesale exports to asia are already around 500 to 700 euro's a kilo in quite the time the product reaches consumers in asia, the price is between one and one and a half 1000. a small boat, 100 grams of shocks, and my costs 150 euros on that's, that's a profit margin that's almost comparable to the drug trade. it's important 100 hospitalized size, imports and exports account for 22 percent of the global shark me trade. the world's largest ex border is spain, which supplies countries including portugal, brazil, italy, and germany, where the smoked meat of this spiny dogfish speak east is a delicacy. shark fins are mostly exported to asia, especially to china. other big players include japan, britain,

and panama. in total, the global trade and meat and fins is worth around $500000000.00 euros per year. we show sort of like a claim of old hawk r footage from vigo several years ago. she also conducted an undercover investigation at the fish market. it does cloud the thoughts about 5 o'clock in the morning since would fine. it's unbelievable. none of these animals are sexually mature, yet. this is absolutely not sustainable. so the next generation of the blue sharks is be destroyed again, not to worry about it now on the activist is also alarmed by the methods used on european long line fishing boats. she shows us a video sent to her anonymously. the fisherman who filmed it, was probably as shocked as she was by the brutality.

the successful here's the you can see here that the shark is still alive. the fishermen are bringing the shock in 2015 in height on loki standing with his foot on the short cut. the 4th okay, takes the knife and the symbol of that and while it still alive is to, that's a living animal that the fits not dead. this is how all these animals died. me. the video from 2016 shows what the fishermen in the harbor cafe were handing out. the shorts were cut open lengthwise and gutted many of them fight for their lives. and it's all done in compliance with e u. regulations. these appeals and these animals are absolutely defense. let's see how about they can scream, which i have the nervous system just like humans a lot. so the shark is in terrible pain. right now. the service isn't an exception with the it's the, the norm we've made contact with an industry insider in spain,

a manager at a company that sells short me. and since she's willing to talk to us but wants to remain anonymous, given the highly controversial subject, you cut the very open and just the like the soc is still like trying to like 3 bucks. that would be like one cards at the back of the head, which, which would make him dead, but they, the fishes on the european visits didn't do that. their lives, sharks and the fishermen have arms. think about it. we tried to do it in the best possible way, but we have to think about the safety of the workers. we're not brutal when we fish, we have to take care of ourselves. but what's happened if the stuff in and contained would be successful, and that would be a trade been defense or part of the business. if we catch sharks are we supposed to just throw them away?

that wouldn't be economical. it's not as if we can stop sharks from biting when we cast long lines. they're still going to come and get caught. we're the 1st people to be thinking about sustainability. several times the industry insider stress is the number of people in vigo who are dependent on fishing. you have to understand the fishermen do a really honorable job. their main goal isn't to kill animals, it's to create a livelihood for themselves. there's a difference. we've come to brussels, where the european commission is looking into a potential trade band. it's a process that will take months if not years. we're here to meet. i know that young's spokesman for maritime affairs. so they are countries like canada or the u. k. um,

who have already like shot shocks and traits bins. why does it take like a companion like this stuff and then you can pay and to start talking about this topic, if we haven't started talking about this topic and you know, but when it comes to trades measures, it's always something that's complicated for you to, to work on every environmental measure that affects trades creates issues in terms of how, how this affects all of the trades relations. some people we talked to a know expecting like, standing tactics or something like that topic would be like the open, but it won't come to an end if this like. and i'm found a fear of what do you think about that? our policy making is generally quite robust and based in the data and the evidence, but also it is slow because we need a lot of people to agree on every piece of legislation that we make the new european commission that will be form if after the elections defend the new european parliament will have their own their own minds depending on what citizens

thoughtful that makes it all the more important to create a scientific basis for the decision making process. we returned to spain to ben meal in the northern basque region. the coastal town is lou customer with us research base. from here he and his team go out to see to study sharp populations comes they 9 anyway, you can start loading the diving gear board part. the data collected by the team will be made available to international organizations. it can also be used to set catch cortez until now, quality data has been locking me for by doing this could be different trying to shine a light on the distribution of the blue shark. and the may co shark doesn't go. results will be important. as we tried to fill in gaps and the data to, to hopefully ensure more sustainable population managements of people for that. so now how do you go to minutes?

village suspects that the coast along. the bay of bist k as a nursery habitat for blue sharks. the more conclusively, he can prove this, the more likely it is that authorities will establish protected areas for them. the team have underwater camera rigs, thanks to donations and a bit of the i why, because i'm a 5. so this is a mobile camera traveling many above it, it together himself on the device. it's says i'm bar assembling it now equipment us to make sure we can document the sharks that's giving them. i don't know if i'm allowed to say this, but this is an old traffic sign which i found on the side of the road. for not the loaded up, the team heads half an hour out to see they look for a good spot and then lower the camera trump into the water guy. so this is a good place. lots is the gps track are on many district thanks to the gps transmitter

. they can locate the camera later and come back to collect it of the by, by the shelf and hopefully see you soon. we come up a trap of not float in the water for 5 or 6 hours. it's a depth of about 10 meters. so as the camera records, the sharks are attracted by fish scraps and a bait that even the shyest of them will be caught on video. this gives the team a more accurate idea of how many animals are in the area. later lucas miller wants to lower a shark in person in any of these because of that in i tried to catch the animals and photographs that are to go to document their size and their sex does. and if we're lucky, we can also put a satellite transmitter on them, is up to you is that enough talk to them the team repeatedly, poor fish stock into the sea. they also lower the predators with bait. when

a shock appears, they have to act quickly. the researchers bring the chart close to the boat and hold it while they take its measurements. make sure that they attach a gps transmitter to the doors locked in a place where it won't cost the animal pain. then they allow the shock to swim back down into the sea, where it will give them valuable data about things like migration routes and life span. every time that we go out, we need to take all the date that we think it's going to be useful for our study. so we take the place 10, but to if we find shelves, we try to estimate this size. if we are able to see the 6 on, if they have a stock or not, if we are from them before a month,

it's then time to take the camera trump out of the water. when we get home with, if we filmed any sharks on the way back to port an encounter with a pint of dolphins underlines the wonders of the ocean that miller and his team are trying to conserve. the lyla is disappointed. the camera didn't capture any sharks, but 2 days later, there's this precious shot of a blue shark pump. it's more evidence that the coast is a nursery habitat that needs to be protected. the scientists and we only provide neutral data if we just try to provide the facts which then become a basis for political decisions and of a pretty defense item. the political decisions that are exemplary batch defense

items. and they take into account economic interests, cultural interests, and also the livelihood that the people who work in the fishing industry and depend on it. that's why i hope that we, as a society will find a solution that offers the future for both animals and people. perspective with us . the marine biologist will continue to fight against the negative image that sharks have. he wants to protect the animals before it's too late. the high for looking at the shocks and trade, it makes you a motional and the 12th because the next day i can go out and swim with these animals. i can take a breath and then dive and be completely weightless, substituted gliding alongside them. awesome. so the little there are moments when we're just co existing and again, when this intelligent animal is looking at me from 20 centimeters away from swimming with me and paying me respect, the kind of respect that we humans don't really reciprocate. size them someone's

back can be heartbreaking. but what can we do instead of it was all we can do is keep writing and do our jobs ones. and so i'll have some forgiveness also. so yeah . then we can hope that at some point we as people will have that love and that respect inside us inclusive. so it will begin to recognize the value of co existing with these animals sorts of sense of oh, i'm sorry, the interest of what did you do before i came to china. she

survived our streets. thanks to music. he was the nazis favorite conductor, is more on the the genuine to musicians under the swastika, a documentary about this sounds of power, inspiring story about survival of the home and you go get the tennis. i was the only one, usually in nazi germany. watch now on youtube dw documentary manuals and didn't you belong to the 77 percent to come to i just got on $65.00 last last those top 5. and here's one thing we are here to help you make up your mind. we are here on please find your mind. so all of the topics i'm much up to you from couple fixed

a new culture. and in 15 minutes, let's say together. me see like there's a way to install. the research is now on the immersive. art is appearing everywhere, color for expeditions, skittering digital art installations have proven extremely popular with the public . in theory, these exhibitions should allow us to fully sink into the art. so how well do the work and practice? can they turn us all into art lovers? here's one example of immersive art made by turkish, american artists repeat an adult, but before we get into his work, let's go over the basics immersive art one. 0 one. what exactly is it immersive comes from the latin word mercy o, which means to plunge into many are already familiar with immersion from the gain world and virtual reality when executed successfully you feel like you're right in

the mid.
