will is also head of greenpeace's delegation to the u.n. in new york.y warm welcome to all of you. first i think it's important to address the fact that we're talking about half of our planet left currently unprotected. it's an incredible amount. will, why is it so important to change that? will: it's so important to change the status quo because we're seeing that threats to the ocean are only increasing. threats like overfishing, illegal fishing, deep-sea wine -- deep sea mining. all continuing to increase and very little action being done to actually protect the biodiversity out there on the ocean. all of this depends -- all of us depend on a healthy ocean to regulate the climate and absorb carbon and keep us resilient. there is a risk of food security through political inaction and that's not good enough which is why we are here this week campaigning for a strong treaty. laura: before you talk about that, this is a part of the world not many of us have seen yet. who goes out there and what activity do we see out on the heisey -- on the high seas? >>

now, from hamburg by hines, as smith towel, he is a nuclear expert with greenpeace. or welcome to the program good to having with us . we've had repeated warnings from ukrainian officials now that their situation at separation is grave. what is your assessment? well, it's a very complex and dangerous situation at this. so nuclear. busy power plant are for several reasons. on one hand, of course, the armed conflict, nuclear reactors, are not designed for that. and it's not only about direct hits, that can break the confinement and to release or ductility. it's also about the infrastructure, or we have to think that the nuclear power plant, even after shut down needs massively cooling for months, your mom and so it needs energy and it needs create systems. and so the disconnection of to treat was also really worrying and inspectors from the international atomic energy agency say there are due to inspector the plant within days. so if they do get access to the plant, what does it actually mean for the situation? they are, what can they do? well, it's so of course very h

the head of ocns at greenpeace u.k.talks as an official observer to the you in. >> these talks are incredibly important. the fate of our planet lies on the outcome of the next two weeks. we see across the world threats to the ocean are only getting bigger, with climate change, overfishing and the potential threat of deep-sea mining coming down the pipeline. a treaty like this would allow us to come together and put large areas off-limits to human beings. we all rely on a healthy ocean to regulate the economy, to absorb carbon and help us be more resilient to the worst elements of climate change. more than 3 million people around the world rely on the ocean for their primary source of food. making the treaty a political priority is really a case of securing food security for those people. >> you stress the importance, why is there so much opposition to this treaty? >> it is less opposition and more apathy and lethargy. politicians are not prioritizing this treaty. we are showing politicians that people really care about

i spoke to sean bernie earlier, he's a senior nuclear specialist at greenpeace, and i asked him whether the storage facility in finland that we just saw in that report really will be able to store nuclear waste safely for thousands of years. well, of course not green. that's clearly ridiculous. um is only a few decades since the world basically woke up the idea of climate change or the idea that we know what's going to be happening in a 1000 years. never mind a 100000 years is clearly ridiculous. and the problem is that the nuclear street wants to convince people that they have a solution, and that just not the case and the, the specific problems with the finish approach to the spent fuel disposal. but that also applies worldwide. so know, were we not anywhere near a solution for, for nuclear waste including spent fuel they're obviously doing a pretty good job of selling their idea of how to do it. but tell us, how would you like to say nuclear waste in dealt with? well, the 1st thing you have to do, stop producing it, the idea that you could use a material that is so hazardous that it
