they're targeting fifty in whales which are an endangered species but more important it is the southern ocean whale sanctuary is to push by the international whaling commission as a sanctuary for whales and so i don't know what it is about the word sanctuary that your band doesn't seem to understand that you don't kill whales in the sanctuary so this is really about sea shepherd defending the integrity of the southern ocean we'll sanctuary that we can protect sanctuaries and marine reserves and we're not going to protect anything by not captain watson the last time you were on the kinds of reports you spoke about what you call the economic extinction now sense that broadcast i've seen some reports coming out of japan talking about bluefin tuna which are being fished to extinction but the bluefin tuna that are in the freezer because they're being fast to think ssion the price goes up quite dramatically almost exponentially because after all these will be the last species. he's a left after this particular species is fished into it extinction so the price goes up there's a very strange macabre

well thank you all right captain paul watson you are down in the southern ocean to stop the japanese whaling vessels from catching their quota but there is a twist to the story this year and that you are also on the run and the japanese are armed with a lots of money from donations a name that we're supposed to go out of the focus seem a disaster tell us about it. they allocated about thirty million u.s. dollars from the tsunami relief fund specifically to target jeopardy and with that money they've thrown a when army of lawyers at us they were able to get an injunction against us in the us night because your core which really doesn't mean anything because there are ships are new are currently in dutch it's operating out of a bottle and also we managed to get me on the whole rig this nobody's actually picked through my knowledge for trespassing but that's what they're trying to charge me with and he won't be extradited to japan where are we really but they do get me there all right so captain watson the people who watch the show whale wars of course on television as to his internatio

perhaps and not really taking the fight to where needed to go and there you are you're in the southern ocean you're actually in our war with these japanese whalers who are violating international law are violating all kinds of laws pertaining to sanctuary and a sense you've been down there doing this fight we have seen the arab spring we've seen occupy wall street we've seen the nature of activism go from holding up a peace sign to taking the fight to the front line is has there been any attempt or is there any idea that what you're doing down there in the southern ocean is connected to this global insurrection against the economics of extinction i realize that's a bit of us a long winded question but you have the fought sama. well i think that we're politically connected anyway and anyway we're not a social movement in that way it's quite an ecological movement really happening politics when you think about it that way we're here to check and uphold the laws of ecology and nothing else. but i think people are becoming more frustrated with the fact that government to slow to corporations i m

ocean much faster. narrator: cities throughout southern california converted natural rivers to these concrete channels, part of their storm drain systems. this allowed expanding development without the need for large flood plains. kharaghani: the los angeles river is approximately 51 miles. concrete reduces the size of the river that you need to carry the water because it speeds up the flow of water. if you'd like to remove all the concrete and to have natural system to carry the water to protect you from flooding, you need to have almost one mile on each side of the river set aside for transport of rain. so in order for the city to have use of those lands around the river, concrete made it possible to have minimum land so the water can be carried to the ocean in the fastest possible way. but, unfortunately, because of population growth and poor housekeeping, people are putting a lot of pollutants on the street and the streets are the openings to our stormwater sewer system. in an average year, 4,000 to 5,000 tons of trash ends up in long beach. man: we've created a system to deal with flooding but ina

looking close to home here, princess ann, salisbury and ocean city, also extending all the way down to the southern end of the state and also just a little bit of wintery shower action toward sullivan's island. where was the big action today winter weather wise? out of roanoke virginia coming down, a winter wonder land down there. maryland skier? plenty of fresh powder on the slopes. but close to home, it's dry. no sledding to be had. humidity is moderate and winter advisory just about done but what we have left for the south western corner, dorchester county down toward princess ann, just a few blue shaded areas in our area and a winter weather advisory on the edge of that. temperature wise, not really cold enough to support anything sticking and as we look farther south and east we do see this line. that's going to be moving out through the overnight hours and that dryer air would help to prevent that storm from moving further north in the situation. as we look at the overall set up we're going to have a cool day tomorrow but we're going to warm things up into 50 tomorrow. so a bitter blast is on

you got to get down into southern maryland, down across the bay here, down towards salisbury and ocean finding a couple light sprinkles and showers. that's the back edge of the front. still dealing with clouds out there too, but the trend will be to bring the sunshine back for the first time in a couple days. we should be mostly sunny for a good bulk of our wednesday and cool. so make sure you have a jacket. high temperatures will only be about 40 or so. otherwise dry conditions expected today. much of the remainder of the week here looks nice and quiet and i'll have details on that, and, of course, we'll take a look at the redskins game coming up in a few moments. guys, back to you. >> tucker, thawf. >>> checking our top stories this morning, late last night the house agreed to pass the fiscal cliff plan. the bill was passed just before 11:00 in a 267-167 vote. the bill to avoid tax hikes for middle class americans and spending cuts is now on the way to the president for his signature. in order to pass the bill, the house had to abandon its deal for further spending cuts. >>> school w

southern california. bill? >> reporter: good evening, scott. people here in huntington beach, california, fear this beautiful pacific ocean, which creates their backdrop and their life- style, is becoming a destructive force. this was a king tide in december, and this is what it looks like today. >> well, the water was up to pacific coast highway. >> reporter: the high surf and tides occur when the earth moon, and sun align. but rising sea levels have pushed the tides higher and further inland. connie boardman is a college biology professor and mayor of huntington beach. >> along the southern california coast, we've experienced an eight-inch rise in sea level already. it's nothing that we can continue to deny. >> reporter: according to a u.s. government forecast, global sea levels are expected to rise one to four feet by 2100. so it sounds like you're expecting these events to be more frequent. >> yes. >> reporter: so huntington beach is looking at putting in more pumps, more drains, planning for a wetter future. scott, nearly five million americans live within four feet of the current high-tide level. the mayor of huntington beach says the time to ac

southern calvert to put down maybe a coating in a couple spots. to the beaches it's trying to change inland from rehoboth beach in ocean city. you might see a brief change over there, but the whole thing is pulling over there. sun will be back in the morning. let's show you where it did accumulate. it was all through central virginia, down through south carolina which has been really hit hard with rain. how much piled up down here? enough to shovel if it doesn't melt. it piled up on the roads in richmond quickly, 1 to 3 down there, in the darker blue 2 to 4, but southwestern virginia i did see spots ranging from 7 to 11 inches all pulling out later tonight. beyond this the headline will be if you're traveling down to the south tomorrow, watch for slick spots. we barely got any precipitation here other than a bit of light rain and i think most of that will dry up and temperatures probably won't drop for a little while yet, but clouds will decrease and changes in the extended outlook i'll tell you about in a bit. >>> no snow here, but a viewer sent this picture from charlottesville this afternoon. we'd love to see your weather
