stories and trying to see where they reside is worthy of reinstatement russia must be for those who city she in the involved in the cheated and wanted to own to this night and day instead of trying to protect clean athletes that is despite russia has been paying around a million dollars annually to the waters budget that is despite russia's spate fifteen million dollars fine to the international olympic committee based on the mclaren report based on the state sponsored system doping allegations she wants more money for water despite all that she's not saying a concrete figure but the norwegian press is speculating that could be tens of millions of dollars but as far as i understand miss helen has not yet filed an official lawsuit and we'll see whether she does ok i'll be back with updates for you in half an hour.

she dragon was designed to sail around the world the wrong way so she actually parsed best when she's healed over about forty five degrees sailing up when it's seventy two feet long such meetings she's a prefect after all but also a great ass off for conducting side if lot of people when i was in it got the first

stone thanks it's because the atlantic in twenty four team gets a zero you coverage right in the atlantic with fourteen women and you know what the chapel is with god in terms of oh man you got to contribute to others here out having all the ladies on board is pretty awesome and a lot of people say it can't be done that way proving them wrong step today i'm no good at feminist which is the reason that we're having an all girl team or it's really because i'm wanting to understand more about female health plastic accounts for ninety percent of all trash that finds its way into the ocean in the majority of coastal and island states there is no organized sorting of waste in some areas so much plastic is dumb to watch into the water that the sea is like a toxic plastic soup. initially plastic waste this picked up by the stomachs of marine inhabitants and then at the end of the food chain is delivered to our plates before i met the old female crew of sea dragon i've never sailed and didn't know

how to change the world but i did know that if you want to make a change you must start with yourself and as a beginning i decided to make this film. thing so everything in travels. that i gauge tell you all the right cliffs and bridges highways that they didn't get it didn't and they say they have it yes it has everything. to me it really began about eight years ago i had the opportunity to take a boat around the world we set up for the first couple of years on the sea dragon. wanted to look at these islands of pasta that we were hearing about and quickly realized that actually what we were looking for what the micro plastics is these tiny pieces. that you carry and not going to accept them back. and that then opened up this whole question about toxics and that's really where x. expedition that came from all right let's move would be to get everyone i'm

channeling i'm your skipper for this to be an awesome week i have been living on board sea dragon for the past three and a half years now and she's a great home so yeah we're. where we're going to get to go on this phone cameras already here. hi guys i'm john mission coordinator for this leg of exhibition caribbean i was on the first x. expedition across the atlantic in two thousand and fourteen with emily only. i had never sailed before i married more so unless i'm going away i am from wales in the u.k. and i'm the thought from jamming. and that's that it marrying geology. and my background is in biology and also pharmaceutical sciences i'm studying green enough for st lucie i'm an all chased a marine scientist and then i'm also about promoting women in science i've been

really a strong supporter about women in stem careers. then the last thing is i'm a breast cancer survivor you guys don't get seasick ok that's not a problem but if it hits we are talking about weird appeal right so the best place to be is inside the comics so that's what we call this the case here that you'll be sitting on it runs up and down your it's inside of the clinton not trying to hang over the side of the boat to get into the water just puke on the side we have a hose these guys here these little glue that's here are called the eclipse so basically when the boats heeled want to wear the other we're kind of rolling back and forth this is what's going to keep you in your bunk the right on the right seem to get up. to twenty times already spends twenty i think so long hikes and say twenty times up and down like a wall so this will rise a little bit but so the writing says you know and then you try to just you still

want to still have the care. there and i think this might be her now so let's see you know that and to have that you know and sabrina. expand on it maybe get that anger bow down not be awesome. like on the how you. are right hope. because there's a pretty deep. and shock. to her empty feeling. you know i'm terrible and rising incomes much easier than i think you. know living

. in a just him to a. human like a drowning man who's going to drive me to win gold on these is not as exciting as who was the bad there are. they the reality is that they see these islands that we've heard of they don't exist in the middle of the a sinead do you get high accumulations in a we see these photos of these masses of plastic that looks that you will come them and but they are all very high still out in the middle of the ocean we get some areas and when. we get localized areas where they get peace accumulate but the reality is the most of the. it is covered in this fine layer of micro plastics tiny tiny little fragments and that's what we're looking for hit today in the sample everything. one two three.

and so we've got that hole in the woods and now we've just been adjusting the lines and to to get the tool actually flying along the sickness and you should and we don't want to dig down and we don't want to skip to the top they would basically now we'll walk she now will to make sure that that. is going into batman's and into the troll will do this the next few minutes and then will and will have a will. i think the biggest thing that has shocked me is that we've never had an empty troll no matter where we've been whether it. and the caribbean the baltic. out in the middle of the atlantic we've always had plus kind of scaring when you haven't seen a lot. for eight days sailing out sea is was the closest people to you were in the space station and you're still finding that human and impact. like.

the something going on with. the animal. the. caribbean is lucky because it isn't on the team one of the giants one of the cavemen a sure thing we hate to see what is here actually happen it. sticks out in the pool just where they see our state of mind state security system. but what we've seen so far should a lady's styrofoam. take away containers. must exacts will the ones. hold the smoking gun. this month on even the lines thirty minutes yet even if. we get

them sorted all of the things that we are into a set of three sets of differing mike so there's the top serve or parts of that as we go down smallish and we're going to use. these. to capture certain things so things that we think that look like plastic and even interesting organics biota that we might want to have a look at on a microscope. some. of these things are this is plastic. yeah can you see. it's old news. but if you think it's just a little stretch of ocean it's a little bit of ocean and it's quite scary because we always find something.

similar time we seem to spend and see the world we realize that the solutions to say many of these things start on land and that's a big reason for the shift to the caribbean and sex positions now to be say a land based. you straight. to where the abandoned that's yes. there's all about what i want sunk. this is on the area just over this next door it's a little fishing community we're just going to try and do an estimate here the plastic bottles the palestine and everything that we're seeing and say that we can record that in the range every time that. it's

just that it's just that they don't come here to be a little chilly and maggie wanted to impress the banks and to see if you can give an estimate of what we've got here and spend you want to do i've been counting polystyrene alone so basically these containers here that you can see that are for takeaway food so people obviously come in they just throw them into the water as disposal i mean rochester there's another one i had counted four hundred thirty eight pieces of styrofoam alone like we can recognize these things now spray bottles these dishes the styrofoam we recognize the stuff but once it gets out in the ocean what you'll find is that plastic breaks down really quickly because of the movement of the waves and the sunlight the you. and breaks down smaller and smaller and smaller into little plastic fragments so it may not be harmful for that little fish that eats one fragment of plastic but once it makes its way up the food

chain it's getting to levels that are harmful to human health and marine health too . so this is the kind of thing that you. don't want to see just as much as you don't want to see little pieces of fragment when we pull up or shall. there be something for it but we don't have the equipment so we have to think of some way of getting all these so you know and the main focus and would clean up and then in the sort of bigger picture. you might like to see instantly we don't have a lot of education we compete simply because we don't have money. to do but you want the old really look to do you know. people the results. this is you know that kind of the. documentary we dismiss john wrote education. well the first being and yes yes yes absolutely thank you david. yes.

yes all right. the value of big oil is that it is a star value it is hard money and it is predominately useful for the poorest to move the poor or you are the greater the need you have for sound money. well that's what i said but men want to know what did what is what made my mind i did my last useless problem.

i think. everybody. say we had the lamp insulation today we need to try to get an understanding of the big challenges around waste management on these small islands the way you have all of this plastic and thing on the street maybe sees the world comes wrapped in plastic and is really very limited options to what you can do with that few things get separated the majority of it does get buried you can see here you know this is this is where all of the waste from the whole. is not really any separation and see their household level or at least this and. trust. issue because i'm sure you've seen them. there even more expensive to deal with because you need to. you know. it's getting to.

some of them to. so much. well. you know it's not really a system to deal with it. makes me sad in one way. but it's tremendous i don't even know what to say there's like lying about. where are they going to go. to look at returning. thanks for. this is the any sanctions i'm talking and expanding say which kind of new concept is it just getting going and they see the name and it's working great. schools to getting school construction right way to be. safe he tells me she said they

sometimes if we keep our sponsor. going that way so she want to do the right thing that and eventually will hopefully get into the household level as well. give you a decision. thank. you. very much thank you i know. this. is a scary. normally these and it's really a huge turning point it's. this is both true to form that oh crikey they all quite

have. i think you could we could make a sculpture. i could see that i might need someone else to pick them up for me. just like. we see a lot of plastic that's going down drains running down streams and with guys and ultimately everything. brandes downhill to be a shame he hasn't be parents rotate around and the plastic goes into these carrots this is what we call and shy at. it needs lots and lots of

wool cities in the uk that create this illusion stats here on our land. still say. plastic bags for the cost of. two very good question because we didn't really need them and sale recently let not perhaps you could get a link to to the supermarket and i asked them if they need to provide a way to take the carriage vehicle to bring that and instead and this in some places around the world they have now put and tags on the plastic backseat paid for eggs which is really the number of plastic bags that anybody uses really the rule is given all the. enough especially. if the loose. lows should. wash up.

so we got to kill. the other.

i've . been. like. oh i don't want to talk about this they better. be going we know the main group that are very experienced they were

fine but everybody else. was being basically. ways to break my head to see which way it's not just completely such and just saying that i had no idea that. stuff like this and not just kept. flying up on the state road do you feel no like oh right now still i'm ok. now. you.

might assume. that happened and you can't there is crazy. down the mountain valley. with. you. and the enemy yet and. this is like you don't get strength here all the way in which is sailing the french for my last chemo is january eighth and my august i still look like lice and ellie is oh you know it's like you know me

i get insured for house spikey. he came back around. heard her laugh. and i guess rational sat and she'd stand out like create my head in life hold everything plays and put me back on the pill and not move that maybe it comes thanks to my last the heart hope so right before coming on this trip i celery this is my two year anniversary for being cancer free that's part of this trip for me and also raising awareness about all of these chemicals that are in our environment they're in our oceans they're in our seafood they're even in our ground water supply. and thinking about what are we putting into our bodies and trial that's ultimately affecting us truth be told one in promise will get cancer. of the hardest moment in. these years when you take. the hardest moment.

i guess. i'm going to have five thank you all right. you do not have to. but is tied to the affects of chemo. you know sometimes ignorance is bliss and we don't know what wonder drugs going to do to you. then you kind of don't worry but as a scientist and having studied a lot of stuff i knew. what they were pumping into my body what was about to have. the words good spirit. so i was more scared of the drugs keep sir. i love the chemicals that we're finding in the air and we all flying in our own bodies and constant engines i mean the fact that they are increasing makes us

feel like they probably have an action to the rising rate that counts and definitely being a part of expectation and the thought that. the toxic chemicals that i'm feeling into my body over my lifetime i would pass that on my children. the only reason why i would like. to go in to become a mother and i can tell you that. having a biological child was just not for me or not in the stars but you know i don't think of that is i can't be a mother. just on this side of the line. i mean you are.

are. can anyone guess how only. sixty thousand. get. out yet you really get it this. is sixty. six and these they get once maybe twice and three times at once and didn't. eat any reasons for. their drink yeah.

that's right that's a perfect example of single use do you think you could do without a straw. do you think we're capable of looking at lifting a glass around ups and drinking from it. lots of other alternatives to like glass containers for iraq the result home and these are all things that you guys can take back to your parents now because you can tell them let's stop using plastic or at least reduce our use of plastic do you think you guys could do that yeah i hear resoundingly yeah. all right.

you know right. now you'll see the old out. between the united states and russia.
