then the next island over is prevost island, quite close.e behind those sailboats is pender island. and the little knob of rocks sticking up over there underneath that white cloud, that's mayne island, and the next piece of rock going down further is saturna island. and the light gray way over in the background, that's orcas island from the san juan islands, the highest point of the san juan islands, about 3000 feet. (sophie fouron) you sail around these islands? - all the time. - all the time. - it's a wonderful playground. (dorothy finnegan) so we have a salt spring wine, and we have salt spring cheese.

there is a, one of the islands of the chain of islands. and there, i forget they call them if it's not a we, there's one prime minister, but there's effectively a governor of that particular that particular island is very pro taiwan, very anti china. and there is talk that they are also pro america pro australia against any chinese influenza. and that they might have had something to do with that riot. what do you, what do you say about that? you know, i, i wouldn't discount that. it was only in the last few years that the solomon islands decided to withdraw their recognition of taiwan at the united nations and recognize of mainland china as the official representative of the chinese people. so we're talking about momentous foreign policy for foreign policy changes in that tiny country i, i could see something like that being the case said wouldn't be it's believable, right? it wouldn't be out of the ordinary, especially now that you are say i d has express interest i and we know certainly that cia is going to be interested can i, i don't

it barely stays on the island.people depend on municipal services for drinking water. - trucks go around with water supplies for residents. i feel like a chilote, so i do my best to help make things better for locals. - they're our future, yes. (sophie fouron) i've often seen boat clinics, but library boats? that's a first. (teolinda higueras) no, we're going to offer travelling library services today, on the island of mechuque. - yes. - we've made custom backpacks to carry our books and display them to readers. they fold up easily and we can bring them with us everywhere. the books go into the pockets. - sure. you look strong, you'll be able to carry lots of books. - yes. - i'm ready!

(teolinda higueras) every month, we travel to the most isolated communities of the islands to offer our library service. the only way to get to them is by boat. these communities are quite isolated. children have very little exposure to the outs

by island locals. the 2 dignitaries attended a world war 2 memorial service on august 8th, and then plan to reopen the u. s. embassy on the island that was shuttered back in 1993. coming with the envoys. usa idea, though officially described as the world's premier soft power humanitarian agency, with their mission statement, citing building communities and advancing democracy. where are usa id goes? the cia follows for more on what this diplomatic trip means and what u. s. a i d 's presence implies is former a cia agent and whistleblower, and also host of the new show of the same name, the whistleblowers as john kerry aka john, thank you so much for joining me on saturday. and congratulations on your new showing. looking forward to seeing more of that 1st i've given your many years your extensive history in the c i. we know what the state of goals of usa idea are. but what role do they play for the cia? well, 1st you have to look at what intelligences it really is very simply, just information. and usa

and surrounding those six islands are dozens of little islands. you can only access them by boat, and i think they like it that way. we can't talk about the lofoten islands without talking about stockfisch, their famous dried cod. everywhere you look, you see the mountains, the sea and racks of stockfisch. they're everywhere. they're islands of fishermen. but they're slowly moving towards tourism. people who are looking for adventure, breathtaking nature and arctic surf are actually coming to the lofoten islands. people are falling in love with this place, and i can understand why. i've never seen such magnificent beauty. (terje boe) around 25 000 people live on these islands, and lofoten is about 50 sea miles from the mainland or the big city, bodo. you can drive by car to the mainland without taking the ferry now. the barents sea is not so far from us, and the norwegian sea is directly outside of these islands. it's the sea that brought us here. we have a lot of blood from our forefathers, the vikings. many people are tall, many people are blond

i have seen how the island has been destroyed and reconstruct since its beginning to restore the island to its native form is extremely important to me because that will help all the animals come back to the island and make this place even a better place to live. >> i want to be here because these are people i know, so that was my first thing is just, like, i wanted to come here to help out and be with (indiscernible) and to actually put my hands in dirt. i feel like we as people don't work in army -- we don't see the benefits of plants, like, but i just learned about a plant that if you rub it enough, it turns into soap. that's cool. and we need those things. we need to know about those things. >> one really unique thing about this project is the scale. to use 50,000 native plants over 7 acres is a scale we have never seen. it really is trailblazing when we think about the 350 or 400 acres of open space that is planned for treasure island, it sets the stage for what is possible. there's a way to use nature-based solutions at scale to meet the needs of climate change, sea level rise, th

just a 30—minute drive from here is one of the island's two geothermal plants.d out how they're harnessing volcanic energy to produce electricity, reducing the island's dependence on oil and gas. this is where everything starts. a geothermal well is drilled inside the reservoir. oh, my goodness! i can feel the heat coming up. exactly, because deep inside, at between 500 metres to 1,000 metres, there is hot water at 240 degrees. wow! it's notjust geothermal energy that's used here. the island has been taking advantage of all its natural resources to increase its green credentials. between geothermal, hydro and wind, we already are able to fulfil almost 60% of the needs of the island. and this is important because this allow us to be a little bit self—sufficient. if we have situations like a war or something that makes the prices go very high of energy, this allow us to be a little bit less dependent on what concerns energy. that's no small feat at a time when global events have made electricity bills shoot up to record levels elsewhere. energy independence, susta

and these are his islands. (pedro escobar) the azores is an autonomous region of portugal, which means that we share many laws with portugal. the government of the azores has a parliament as well, and has the autonomy to create its own budget. even though we are autonomous, we are quite dependent on portugal. in terms of survival, yes, we could be totally autonomous in terms of growing food and all the fishing, but we wouldn't have the infrastructures that we have. sao jorge is a very particular island. it's very long, very narrow and it's very steep. in sao jorge, you will find a lot of fajãs. a fajã is a plateau almost at sea level created by the lava flow that flows until it meets the sea. and you have the fajã culture. it's like going back in time to the azorean way of living, when the culture of sharing and reusing everything was really notorious. i mean, since it's so difficult to get stuff there, they really value what they have. it is a very important part of a fajã, that spirit.
