natural sea grass to grow back in. the plastic sea grass is still in testing. the researchers want to know how long the blades have to be to prove effective and where the material has to be flexible and where it needs to be stiff. the testing at this facility should prove insightful. d.m. a way of all and his colleagues try out currents at different speeds that tells them how well they're artificial sea grass beds break the currents up. yeah it works just like real sea grass it behaves in a way that's very similar to real sea grass full of us will give us some good luck in the experiments that we performed we've learned that the speed of the current changes both within our beds and on the upstream side of it. but just the amounts they construct the weight of natural fibers or plastic the researchers are still looking for the optimal material. i would think that it has to be as close as possible to the real thing but also easy to produce. and most importantly it has to disappear without a trace as natural sea grass grows ba

man: reefs are the most wonderful expression of life in the sea. they are this incredible ecosystem that we go visit, and it just blows us away all the time because they are this profusion of life that we just sort of instantly see. narrator: phil dustan is an ecologist and marine biologist who has been monitoring coral reefs since the mid 1970s. dustan: i had the privilege of working with jacques cousteau in the 1970s and 1980s. i worked with him as a scientist that helped make movies about coral reefs, and i worked as principal scientist on the calypso. cousteau was inspirational. he taught us that the oceans are alive. that was the biggest gift of all that he could ever give to humanity as a single human being. alling: i grew up by the sea, and i sailed as a very young girl, would go out on a small, 12-foot boat and just loved being in the middle of the ocean. narrator: after spending over a decade at sea studying whales, dolphins, and marine life of all kinds, at age 26, gaie alling was invited to take part in a unique experiment. together with

i think the march to the sea was part of that process. but had it not been accompanied by grant pressing lee, by sherman going after johnston, and by the other union forces going right after the remaining confederate forces, it would not have closed the deal. so it is all part of that process to close the deal that ultimately ended the war. >> in your research, did you show dramatic difference in the behavior of either side, their behavior during the war? we hear so much from the early movies from "gone with the wind" to the john wayne movies about the southern gentleman and their behavior, how do they balance against 20-year-old farm boys from illinois and michigan? mr trudeau: it is getting to be a harder war. in the march to the sea, one area where you have to be careful are the stories of the fate of union foragers. the confederates tell it that they sweep them down by the hundreds and kill them. i look at the records and there are certainly some that are caught and are clearly murdered, but a lot of them, no. but then i realized, if y

the march to the sea, but in the carolinas campaign. so certainly there is a sense that it is all getting down to a basic hatred amongst some parts of the military machine at that point. youence member: i believe said sherman had 60,000 men in his army. what percent of the total needs of that army were supplied by the territory which they went through? mr trudeau: by the foraging? by foraging,er: versus equipment, food, etc. that they brought with them from the beginning, and was there any resupply's along the way? sherman was hedging his bets. ice the march got going, would say 95% of their daily needs were being met by the foraging, until they reached savannah. savannah was surrounded by marshy areas that were turned are rice plantations, which not areas where you are going to find livestock. and rice is a very hard commodity to process into something edible. reachedsherman's men savannah, within two or three days they were chewing through the wagons, and within four or five days they are starting to think about getting hungry and mis

the yellow sea. ell, depends who you talk to. i mean, there's broadly recognized names, but there's always under dispute, but the koreans will call that the west sea. there is a sea of japan, we have all heard of that, from a korea perspective that's the east sea, again, relative to the peninsula. as you move into the south china sea if you talk to the philippines they will say, no, that's the west philippines sea. or indonesia will refer to the south china sea as the north notuna sea because it recognizes the eezs of some of the islands indonesia cares about and doesn't wish to just write off and say, no, that's all chinese. so that's the neighborhood where everything is in tension and it's pretty important. air defense identification zones, adiz is the shorthand. i won't get into too much jargon, i promise, but those are areas used for control of air space. u.s. has had them for many, many years. we had them back in world war ii. korea and japan established them later. china established one several

to make ends meet the laws aren't always strictly adhered to at sea. sharks are crucial in maintaining the ecological balance of the oceans. they're finished with a long line like those used to catch cod. on the even longer one hundred kilometers armed with over one thousand books. these images of a blue shark being he done board were found on you tube. they were recorded by a crew member of the new wave of c.d.'s one of the ships that could soon have m a c certification. this is banned on european ships. the fins are cut off the living shark on board a process called finishing. the fin shark bodies are kept onboard as long as there is still space if not. they're just thrown overboard still alive to make room for their valuable friends. we want to know if this is still common practice today. we investigate for ourselves by following the course of the playa did read in another vessel up for m.s.c. assessment. it makes regular calls in montevideo in europe why a popular trends shipment point for shark fins. we couldn't get a permit to shoot in the port. a

. and then on into the sea.m david whiteley and this is inside out. this week's programme is all about plastics. first — an exclusive report on the latest attempts to do something useful with the plastic we throw away. scientists have discovered how to turn landfill plastic like this into new, cleaner fuels. but if we dig it up, could a site near you unearth new problems forfuture generations? every week, 1,100 tonnes of household waste are buried in this landfill site. it is just one of 20,000 landfill sites in the uk and between them, they contain 400 million tonnes of plastic. chris quinnell has been shifting waste in wiltshire for the last three years. from your experience, chris, is this the kind of thing you see every time there's a load of waste dumped here? and what you're dealing with is mainly plastic. yeah, definitely. these days, because everything is sorted out, the wood, the metals have been taken out on the majority of the loads and that's basically what you get left with. it is quite shocking to

we have all seen the documentaries about what happens to the plastic in the seas. lly surprised and flattered to learn that the prime minister, theresa may, had heard of my litter picking in kettering. she even sent me a letter praising my work, calling it a fantastic achievement. at first, i didn't really want the publicity, being quite shy. but it will help the cause, it shows also it is a symptom that people are starting to talk about it generally in the public. so, it is a good thing. i don'tjust clean up rivers, this public footpath running alongside the busy a14 is covered in plastic waste. it makes me feel frustrated that people can't take ownership of the problem. most people don't like to litter but yet it is happening on a daily basis, so clearly something is wrong. something is wrong with the system that we have got and doing litter picks like this, i think, will change that. people will start to notice that people are picking it up and they might get inspired and go out there and start their own group. i will continue to pick every week and basically as

high and low tides that occur twice a day are what created the wotton sea in two thousand and nine it was made a unesco world heritage site along with its sandbanks one of them is this tourist destination. get host the seal colony. it's easy to see them ok one two three i counted sixty two i think. it's nice at midday with the sun beating down from this distance we won't disturb them they're lying all along their students on campus we're reading the. seals bear their young on the sea bed exposed by the low tide which is what the sand banks are by the time the next tide comes in the newborns will have to swim beside their mothers millions of years ago what is now the widened sea was a vast forest its traces can still be found in the seed that in the form of amber which is fossilized tree resin it takes a sharpened practice tie to find it. so here's one little bit darker in the ground that's nice and clear over there shouldn't. dead low tide is it eight thirty pm they've got to start heading back by then. and are doing great timing now we can comfortably walk back to the mainland we won

seaside town on the eastern edge of the black sea is said to be the site of the first one and that lia used to be a conflict ridden front along the border of georgia and the breakaway region of up . but the government is banking on being able to develop the area hosting a deep sea port would allow bigger cargo ships to dock here. sort of the easy to cross over there and actually a port will address this really important challenges for georgia's economic growth it will ensure the best use of the country as a geo graphic location and transform it into a logistical work we have great access not only to the markets of armenia and azerbaijan but also central asia and china we need to increase the competitiveness of our seaports otherwise we cannot attract all those cargo ships that go in another direction today got movies ago we've got would be duped into trouble is this we use when you look at one of the world's largest creditor ships the athena is supposed to help remove around five million cubic meters of mud from the sea the port itself is scheduled to receive its first ships in twenty

in the south china sea themselves. i think in terms of the ability to monitor and you asked about satellites, i think it is very, it is sufficient. one thing is make more information public. shine a light on the activity so there is no doubt and occasionally we run into challenges with the classifying things and doing it quickly enough but we want to shine a light on the behavior because it is of concern of everyone in the region.>> caught it. >> take both. one question from each.>> thank you. the bill passed by congress has some language on taiwan. i just wonder from the administration's point of view tell you were going to execute the medical visit to taiwan and routine arm cells to taiwan? >> i have a harder question. you talked a little bit about protecting the sovereign team -- sovereignty and independence in the region. the china factor in the ways of confronting the more overt things that china has been doing. what about more of the more covert things like neutralizing the governments of certain countries in the

of them have perished and the missing at sea since the drowning. a reminder, something that is calling attention? you call it a prayer, but what is the purpose of the prayer, what are you asking people to reflect on when they read the book? it is the third anniversary of the tragedy. all the agencies have put out a report called the desperate journey. it shows the numbers of refugees and migrants coming to european shows have decreased. the journey is more lethal than ever. that story has not ended. people are still being driven from their homes by war, by terra, by persecution and people are still dying at sea for little more than a measure of sanctuary and a measure of dignity. this book is to pay tribute to those people, but also to remind all of us of the collective outrage we felt, the indignation we felt when we saw those photographs and remind us there is much more to be done. your many fans, if they are expecting a novel, as they have enjoyed in the past, that is not sea prayer is it, your concept is very different? this is not a full-lengt

he said the sea is you need to distance itself from the a.f.p. very clearly and i asked some of the high ranking official says how they're planning to win back the voters. that became from the order firstly we will fight the a.f.p. wherever they endanger the basis of freedom and democracy by the way it's most important that we don't quietly accept this that goes for all people who value democracy secondly we will take on and solve the problems and worries of the people in our country and not just talk about it. we have to clearly show that we do. have a clear line as regards migration policy that we have a plan that is what we actually have you know we want to help people who are asking for asylum in europe it's not it's an issue but we also wanted to know that we don't know on the basis you know that we have a regular procedure to be established that you know who is coming into our country this is different to the a.s.d. who simply says no a servant is no refugees at all in our country that is not all i'm. there's a change of line it would seem

can't keep on cleaning up the mess if we keep on cleaning up the mess if we keep putting plastic in the seang it every single day. and i think that we should see this as a kick—start for every individual to say that if they are trying to clean up the seas for us are trying to clean up the seas for us for future generations, then we should make an effort ourselves and every choice that we make in our day—to—day lives. every choice that we make in our day-to-day lives. some critics of this plan say there is a risk that sea life, like plankton and jell—o fish will get caught up in this? yeah. i don't know, i don't think anyone really knows right now. in the garbage patch itself, a study was taken the garbage patch itself, a study was ta ken around the garbage patch itself, a study was taken around 2003 that said that there was onelb of plankton and zoo plankton to every sixlb of plastic. i don't know how they can sift through that and disseminate between those different types of things, plastic and plankton, but then again we have to at least try. this is the first photo tribe, it's not the wh

well the sea this year is a special party in that it can only be elected in bavaria bavaria is one of germany's strongest economically strongest federal states and so the c.s.u. has been ruling here by itself for decades and of course the stronger the c.s.u. is in bavaria the more say and more impetus to see as you has on the national level because under machall c.d.u. is their sister party the c.d.u. is not electable in bavaria and serve the week of the sea as you is here the week the conservatives are in germany. their party leader are saying over is at odds with chancellor angela merkel is the threat to her and the federal government. well many say that hosty of her has been acting a trig stream erratic late many people who've known him for years don't really understand this before hevia because he openly criticizes and america and the coalition survived a near collapse in in the early summer in june because of posse of us provocations towards i'm glad merkel there will be a crisis meeting between the coalition partners including the social democrats on tuesday coming up and of cou

we have some in the mediterranean, some in the black sea, and a little bit in the baltic sea. again.ook at the map where did the typical u-boat types operate in world war i? you are looking at it. basically this map. from germanea sea andorts, north to around. through dover, into irish sea, through flanders. the standard production u-boat u-19 diesel powered, and up that were designed to operate as attack poets -- attack boats, turns out they had pretty good range. they could sail from germany to the adriatic. why does that matter? what is in the adriatic? austrian ports. submarines operated out 1915 onan ports from the with great success. when we talk about the top scoring boats and it u-boat commanders, they are in the mediterranean. throughout the mediterranean down there, and also gibraltar is not one way. you can get out and operate over here too. also, the ottoman empire is a german ally so they will operate near the black sea for world war i. we also have u-boats appear in the arctic. three are lost up there, two of which make my head hurt, they are weird cases. type had

there is a developing area of low pressure out across the north sea. nk, for much of thursday morning, a couple of weather fronts around too. now, they're going to bring outbreaks of rain to the northern isles, this weather front trailing down into northern england, north—west england, parts of north wales. barely anything on it, just a line of cloud and the odd spot of rain. we could see further showers returning to western scotland, too, first thing this morning. and where you have the cloud, then temperatures generally starting in double figures, otherwise under clear skies, single—figure values, so on the chilly side. in fact, today will be feeling cooler right the border, especially across the north. and we're starting the morning off with a good deal of sunshine around, in fact, too. showers will start to get going, though, across scotland, then we'll see another feature, another weather front moving out of ireland, across the irish sea into wales and the midlands and south—west england, as we head on into the afternoon. so conditions go downhill

by the sea. he—he! so decent performances, nice sense of time and place. too straightforward and it's a film that very much relies on drama rather than any kind of real clever touches or comedy. i think it's worth seeing. it's wonderful that he's done this and it's a milieu that we don't see much on film, but there's a bit of a way to go in terms of then directing. 0k, and very much recreating the hackney that he grew up in as well, so it's nice on a human level recreating his life story. yes, and i'm sure it will go down a storm in hackney, definitely, yeah. idris elba's directorial debut. everyone very, very interested in that. now, best out. now, i won't lie — i've not had a chance to see this. i've seen the trailer quite a few times. oh my goodness. even the trailer, i was sort of slightly cringing, even watching that, even though kate mckinnon is really talented! are you going to disabuse me? well, i would agree with you because i saw the trailer and thought "i'm not looking forward this screening! i don't think this is gonna be very good!" surprise —

the rough seas causing a few light boats to be pushed onshore and one or two capsized in the rough seasy swan lady capturing the sunset. we will probably have a similar, fine sunrise to start the day. particularly across the midlands, east anglia and south—east england. that's where the clearest skies are. further north and west, it stays quite blustery. a few showers to start the day for the far north and west of scotland. the combination of clear skies and light winds across the south—east it's here where temperatures will really dip down. a cold start for the early risers. temperatures around two or three degrees celsius. through sunday, we do have a weather front on the pressure charts. it's a very weak one pushing in across northern england and wales. behind the front, the air is cool. temperatures are perhaps a degree down on what we saw on saturday. it will feel cooler due to the strength of the wind across scotland where there will be plenty of blustery showers. through the day, for northern ireland, england and wales, the cloud will tend to come and go. there will be some brigh

that's not the case for sea ice, but it is the case for the continental ice sheets, so the fact that we're already measuring losses of ice from these major continental ice sheets means that they're contributing to sea level rise faster, once again, than climate scicientistprojojected ththem t. there's a credible body of work now that suggests that if we continue witith business-as-usul fossil fuel emissions, than by the end of this century, we could see as much as two meters, 6 feet of global sea level rise. now, that would be catastrophic for many coastal regions. for the u.s. east coast and gulf coast, island nations around the world, some of which will literally be submerged by that amount of sea level rise. the ipcc makes a far more conservative statement. they state an upper bound of about a meteter, about 3 feet, and it's once again an example of where the ipcc arguably has been overly conservative. some as myself have argued that partly that's just due to the culture of science. scientists tend to bebe reticent. we dodon't like o make strong conclusions that we have to withdraw

that goes into the ocean and that pushes up sea levels around the world.precise tools to measure this and that is what icesat is all about. when will we start to see that data come back? they are just in the process of launching it into space, so it will go around the poles, and then they will have to check it out. the spacecraft went up with a door covering its instrument, they will have to open that in the coming week. then they will start to warm the laser up and test it. probably in the next few weeks they will start to take some measurements. of course, it's not an instant result. you have to follow the seasons. they get big seasons in the antarctic and also in the arctic. we have seen in the arctic how the summer sea ice gets very, very small and then it grows again in the winter. you need a long series of measurements to start to pick out the trends. don't expect immediate results. really, this is going to give us a baseline, this particular spacecraft, for all the measurements we do in polar regions for the many years ahead. labour will likely vote

the naval base became the main military port of the russian empire on the black sea . during the second world war the heroic defense of sevastopol lasted almost a year and took hundreds of thousands of lives. therefore the naval base in crimea has a legacy of historical pride for the russian black sea fleet as well as being of huge strategic importance. those of us alive back then remember when there were soviet missiles put into cuba how frightened americans were and how angry and how we almost went to a nuclear confrontation over having weapons of that kind of destruction placed that close to the united states. just so if the united states considers cuba to be in its backyard. then crimea plays at russia's doorstep. the consequences of a u.s. seizure of the face for a nato base which in general. but almost a sum up is him being seen by ensuring his election. you have taught me to. put you in with a. post today and. assuring us not to speak with practical. opinion it's. just another to use ocean to elicit but if there was no willingness that ended up with the old me th

pepper dulse — the truffle of the sea. that's extraordinary. peppery. kick. what's most extraordinary is the diversity under the kayak, different shapes, forms, textures, colours. it's quite extraordinary. even in the famine people ate seaweed. but i think then it became associated with poverty and hunger. and now people are beginning to rediscover the amazing properties of seaweed. the people of west cork are also exploring their past this summer in a special remembrance festival of the irish famine. various artists are gathering for the coming home: art and the great hunger exhibition. tonight they're performing at an old famine workhouse in skibbereen. it's been a great adventure exploring the west cork food scene. and it makes tonight all the more poignant being here on land that was once ground zero of the famine. three days in skibbereen, february 18117. over 400 people have come tonight to hear from the diaries of victims and pay their respects at a famine grave. despite the success of the food story here, the famine years will always remain part

the m.s.c. . i think v.m.s. sea is a fraud that helps the industrial fishing fleets the consumers are completely unaware they go into the supermarket see the m.s.c. logo and believe it guarantees the sustainability of the product. but they have no idea how the fish were caught. with the bottom troll nets and factory ships or with traditional sustainable craftsmanship. and. this ship here catches several thousand tons wherever they fish on the planet it will soon be the end of the line for the species they catch. it took almost a week to one load. all this to no court from the indian ocean. the m a c is currently busy certifying tuna from these big tuna fleets around the world. resistance is beginning to form. for example in the azores. one hook one fish at a time that south pole and line fishing as worked for generations. with this method they can never fish more than twenty percent of a school of tuna no matter how hard they work. the school can then recover big industrial ships on the other hand wipe out an entire

in the north pole and the sea ice. in the north pole and the south pole.y at how much ice is being lost from the land ice and also the changes in the sea ice thickness. what do you want to do with this information once you have it? we can use the information to estimate how much ice is being lost around the edges of the ice sheets and therefore how much ice has melted and gone into the oceans. when it gets into the ocean, think of it like a glass of water. if you have an ice cube sitting on a glass of water, as you melt the ice, you won't raise sea level but if you add extra ice into the glass, it will raise the level of the water in the glass. it is a good analogy for understanding how land ice adds to the volume of our world's oceans. what we see is that ice is being lost and sea level is rising and icesat-2 to lost and sea level is rising and icesat—2 to help us understand how quickly that is happening so we can make accurate projections for the future. will it make a causal link between global warming and ice loss? that is a more difficult question and

but in the red sea, coral reefs are actually thriving, at least for now. our oren liebermann takes us on a dive to find out why. >> reporter: this defies expectations. some of the world's most device ecosystems are in peril. >> reefs are going down in cover. there is a catastrophe for coral reefs in the world everywhere except here. >> reporter: bleaching leaves the reefs extremely vulnerable overcome by water perhaps too warm for corals to survive. the great barrier reef off the coast of australia seen here has experienced mass bleaching. >> the gulf has never been exposed to bleaching. there's no bleaching here, although the water is warming up. >> reporter: it's a privilege along the corals to see the world thriving of majesty in full display. researchers say thousands of years ago the corals growing here had to come through the southern red sea where the waters are far warmer. through natural selection, the corals were in salty waters. here the coral is blossoming. and the water is heating up like the rest of the world, consequence of climate change, bu
