she dragon was designed to sail around the world the wrong way so she actually press passes when she's healed over about forty five degrees sailing up when it's seventy two feet long such minute and she's a pretty big ass all but also a great ass off our back inside of lot of people when i was going to go through the first two hundred thanks to the atlantic in twenty four team if they are you criticizing the atlantic with fourteen women and you'd hope that chappell's would come in terms of oh man he got to contribute others here out having all the ladies on board is pretty awesome and a lot of people say come be damned but where proving them wrong step today i'm no good at feminist which is the reason that we're having an all girl team and 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 org. sorting of waste in some areas so
11:32 pm
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 never sailed and did 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. payment so everything in travels. that i gauge tell you all the right clips and bridges highways that they didn't get it didn't have it yet it has everything for me it really began and the about eight years ago i had the opportunity to take a boat around the world we set up but the best couple of years on the sea dragon. wanted to look at these islands a prospect that we were hearing about and quickly realized that actually what we
11:33 pm
were looking for what the micro plastics these tiny pieces. and knowing about that them bad. 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 going to be one i'm shanley and you're scared for this late it's going to be an awesome week and i've been living on board see dragon for the past three and a half years now and she's a great home yeah we're. where we're going to get to go on this phone cameras already here. hi guys i'm jen mission coordinator for this leg of expedition caribbean i was on the first x. expedition across the atlantic in two thousand and fourteen with emily only. i had never sailed before and mary morris unless i'm going over a. i'm from wales in the u.k.
11:34 pm
and i'm the poet i'm from germany either from hamburg 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 that's not a problem but if it is we're talking about weird appeal right so the best place to be is inside the comics so that's what we call this this case here that you'll be sitting on it runs up and down your music inside of the clinton not trying to hang over the side of the boat to get into the water just you can decide to actually 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 book the right on the right. plenty times
11:35 pm
that already spends twenty. six zero zero eggs and pay twenty times up the sound like a wall so this will rise a little bit but so the writing says you know and then he's going to continue to want to start. and i care. i think this might be her now so let's see enough and to let you know in sabrina. grant i'm leaving at that interval down the road be awesome. like on the how you're just right home. because they're pretty. and.
11:36 pm
yeah new. no i'm terrible at writing and much easier than i think. nobody. got ahead i just knew him to a. human like a drug that was not a dr to me who would go down on the if that was exciting that's 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 asia and you do get high accumulations in a we see these photos of these masses of plastic that looks that you will come them and but they're all very costo out in the middle of the ocean we get some areas and wind swear we get localized areas where big
11:37 pm
a piece accumulate but the reality is the most of the ation is covered in this fine lair of micro plastics tiny tiny little fragments and that's what we're looking for hit today in the sample everything. wind chill very. heavy so we've been here in the woods and now we've just been adjusting the lines and said to get the tool actually flying along the sickness of the asian and we don't want it to dip down and we don't want it to skip over the top they were basically now we'll walk she now to make sure that that all of the is shit and is going into battle net 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.
11:38 pm
out in the middle of the atlantic we've always. kind of scary when you haven't seen land for like eight days sailing out sea is was the closest people to you are in the space station and you're still finding that human and impact. like. the. caribbean is lucky because it isn't on the team one of the giants one of the accumulation things we hate to see what is here actually happened it. sticks out. that worries me is the state of mind states they were curious as to what.
11:39 pm
but we seem so far should daily styrofoam. take away containers. must take. the ones. holding the smoking gun. this month on the signs and thirty minutes if. we get something sorted all of the things that we are into a set of three sets of differing. so there's the top serve parents go down smallish and we're going to use. 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. oh
11:40 pm
no these things are. this is plastic. yet can you see the world really. 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 tiny we seem to spend to see the world we realized 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. trade. where the abandoned that's yes. there's no doubt what i want sunk not too long ago.
11:41 pm
this isn't 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 rain every tree that. has just been dismissed but they don't come here and you don't really. want to do casting banks and to see if you can give an estimate of what we've got here and spend here do 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 oh 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 south but once it gets out in the ocean what you'll
11:42 pm
find is that plastic breaks down really quickly because of the movement of the waves and the sunlight the u.v. it 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 to us in the food chain it's getting to levels that are harmful to human health and marine health to. 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 our show. maybe a guy been sued or something for it but we don't have the equipment so somehow we have to think of some way of getting all this out you know and the main focus and would first be cleanup and then in the sort of bigger picture along the ten of what you might like to see instantly we don't have a lot of education we compete simply because we don't have the money that you've got to want the old really look to do you know so we can show people the results of
11:43 pm
their bad disposal practices you know that kind of so put it in a documentary to dismiss in general education. so i was really. well without first being in touch yes yes yes absolutely thank you david and when i was having met you yes i hope you've enjoyed again yes all right which. were. you know right. from wrong oh we'll be able through. all of us who are open. because related to this very stressful. and instant media darling and certainly a fresh face the newly minted kong. this woman alexandria cortez is rattling some
11:44 pm
democratic establishment cage's she calls herself a democratic socialist and she has some big clients it's a democratic party and america is ready for a sea. with us well i said big man wanted over i did what is a made man my. problem. and just been trying. i think. everybody should learn to. 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 where you have a lot of this plastic and thing on the street maybe seasonal comes wrapped in plastic and it's really very limited options to what you can do with that few
11:45 pm
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. separation happens either a household level or a place to send a. trust. issue because i'm sure you've seen them all over. there even more expensive to deal with because you need to. you know or so it's getting shipped to. some of them through. so much. well i happen to know that it's not really a system to do it. kind of makes me sad in one way. oh it it's horrendous i don't even know what to say. there's like bags flying about
11:46 pm
. where they can. go looking forward to learning the first take the next. day this is the any thinking sometimes and expanding say was quite a new concept is that just getting going and macy's you name is working with. schools to get in school construction or in that way speak for. safety tell you she said they sometimes if we keep our sponsor. going that way so she want to do the right thing and eventually we'll hopefully get to a household level as well. give you a decision. thank you.
11:47 pm
11:48 pm
but they keep up the. we see a lot of plastic that's going down drains running down streams and with eyes and ultimately everything brands down hail to the asian he hasn't be parents rotating around and the plastic goes into these carrots this is what we call and. it needs lots and lots of walls cities in. a decision stats here on land. you can. see. classifieds for the cost of. a very good question because we don't really need them and sale is something like that perhaps you could get a link to to the supermarket and i asked them if they need to provide
11:49 pm
a way to take a carriage vehicle to bring that and instead and this in some places around the world they have now put and tags on the plastic bags he paid for and which is really reduced the number of plastic bags that anybody uses really a rule it can't be more that will. not respect. the lose. those. washed up. so we got to kill. me.
11:51 pm
like. oh i don't want to talk about this a bad. become we know the main group that are very experienced they were mine but everybody else but one thing basically. what if you're a kid i hate to see this huge way it's not just completely such i'm just saying that i had no idea that. stuff like this are not just kept. flying up to our own state. oh do you feel no right now still
11:52 pm
11:53 pm
and me. and. this is like you know gets from here all the way in which is feeling the french for my last chemo is january eighth and i august i still look like by some in l.a. has zero you know it's like you know me like you sure are in the house. you came back around we saw. her her. and i guess national sat and she went out like create my hand in life all of everything plays about how little i know. that maybe comes thanks to my last. our hope so right before coming on this trip by
11:54 pm
celery this is my two year anniversary for being cancer free that's part of this trip for me and also raising awareness about 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 how that's ultimately affecting us truth be told one in time of us will get cancer. of the hardest moment. here you spend your time on the hardest moment. i guess. i'm going to have five but you will try. to do in your opinion. but is tied to the effect of q mono.
11:55 pm
you know sometimes ignorance is bliss and we don't know what wonder drugs are 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 and what was about to happen. that are it's good spirit. so i was more scared of the drugs than to keep certain to i love the chemicals that we're finding in the end and we all find you know our own bodies and cost an inch and the fact that they are increasing makes us feel like they probably have to connection to the writing right and definitely being part of expectation on. the toxic chemicals that i'm feeling it in my body over my lifetime i would pass that on my children. the only reason why i would like. went.
11:56 pm
11:57 pm
get. yet you know you're really good at this. in. sixty. seconds and these they get used once maybe twice three times it is and you 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 strong. do you think we're capable of looking at lifting a glass to our lips and drinking from it have lots of other alternatives to you like glass containers for your life 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 good. all right.
11:59 pm
like there's someone else living inside of me or controlling my body. the byproduct of that drug is the cause like severe depression. because it literally need him into a zombie it's crazy. you know we don't have to do anything it's not our fault you know she's crazy and all that. here's a traumatic takes a long time to get rid of. in twenty forty you know bloody revolution to the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is
12:00 am
always spontaneous or is it you know lawyer here i mean you know liz put video through me in the new bill is that i mean you split needle the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty fourteen. those who took part in this today over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. this i was told headlines here on out state venezuelan president nicolas maduro to borders the closure of his embassy in the united states after washington recognizes an opposition leader as the latin american countries interim president but otoh also accuses the u.s. all of meddling in venezuela's in total of. i want to do you in venezuela the president is elected by washington and of course they see.
