today, hayes is chairman of earth day which focuses attention on the state of the earth's hell just health. as he looks for his golden anniversary, he is focused on what he says is the biggest threat or plants health, climate change. he wants next year's 50th anniversary to produce an unprecedented global outpouring of outrage over climate change and other global threats. we will hear more about those plans this morning so please join me in welcoming dennis hayes to the national press club. [applause] mr. hayes: thank you very much. the 50th anniversary of earth day next year will be the largest most diverse action i believe, in human history. we plan to engage more than 3 billion people in 190 countries. we have made these kinds of claims before and often done so with some level of trepidation, and in every case it has proven to be more modest than what actually transpired. for the first birthday, we hoped to have millions and in the end we had earth day 1990, we 20 million. aspired to 100 countries and 100 million people, at the end, we people and 140 countries. i'm hoping was again in 2

priscilla: how has your work looking at the earth from space a venue a new perspective on the earth? mr. el-baz: believe it or not, we were all absolutely stunned with the picture of the earth in the distance. we had been planning the lunar photography so hard and looking at the moon. what would they do, what kind of cameras, what kind of film? it never dawned on us that actually there, they could see the earth at home. we never thought of it. it was a stunning thing. that was outstanding. when they came upon this view, they were absolutely floored. they ran for the camera. we had no plan for it. the camera was in a box. they had to run to open the vault to catch that magnificent view. they all were absolutely stunned and we were just as stunned. a very interesting thing when you are concentrating and you are so focused on what the job is, which is going to the moon and taking pictures. apollo 8, a mission before the landing. therefore that it would go over places we might land on, so let's get pictures of the landing site very carefully to analyze, and we were concentrating all of o

earth's deserts? mr. el-baz: huge changes. the desert was not like that before. the north african desert, including a great deal of india and parts of china, were not deserts before at all. in the case of north africa, we are much closer to the equator then today. africa is moving northward, and getting away from the rain belt. we know for certain this has been the case, because in the case of india, it was an island. it moved northward and hit asia. this is how the himalayas formed. africa is the same thing. it separated from europe and moved northward. when it hit west asia, or europe, it formed the alps. the conditions of environment were different. how far back? way back, millions of years. >> could you talk about how you came to be selected as a nasa scientist? priscilla: can you talk about -- well, i think that breaks our rule. [laughter] mr. el-baz: yes. priscilla: we will hear about that in the lecture. >> if you could comfortably live on any planet other than earth, where would you live and w

recently, the rocks are like the earth material. close to the way they formed on the earth. the geological processes on earth, most like he will function on all the planetary areas. because of the size, the distance from the sun. the original composition. whatever we do, in geology, we consistently apply towards the planetary bodies. next. from what we see and a microscope. we see the same pattern of rocks on earth. then we came here to the smithsonian institution. one of the first things we did was to think about apollo. to all of then kinds of things we sought talked the scientific material we saw, what did we do? for a movieript called the man in the moon remembered. we did not have much space to talk about the science. saturn five. we were there, they took most of the space. the little movie of the man in the moon remembers. summarizing the history of the earth and the moon were roaming around and they from some material that emanated from the sun. -- as it hardened, there were pieces that hit it. hit it would form this thing which is a crater. craters like that formed t

[applause] mr. hayes we plan to engage people in 90 countries and we have made these claims before and often done so with some level of trepidation and in every case, it has proven to be more modest than what actually transpired. for the first earth day, we hope to have millions and then had 20 million. earth day 1990, we aspired to 100 countries and 100 million people, at the end, we had 20 million people in 100 -- in 140 countries. i'm hoping was again in 2020 we will blow past our goals. more important, 2020 will mark the time when global carbon emissions stopped growing and begin to decline. centuries,an

if you take the viewpoint of looking at the earth from the space station, the earth is like a round ball, i called a it's basicallye water. it took the time to look up on google when it went back as far as 1900 and i look at the south pole in the north pole and i saw all the ice -- there was a huge ice mass on both of them but now you look today, you can hardly find any ice. polar bears are going extinct, the seals are going extinct and we've got to take care of this planet because she is our mother, she feeds us, she gives us water to drink. fact andne undeniable that is if this planet devise -- if the planet dies, we die. people need to get really serious about what's going on because things are moving fast and it's time for it to change. host: levy asked the cofounder of earth day, the you agree things are moving fast? guest: yet, we are clearly in a position where we are approaching some progress. the frightening thing in which the scientist clearly don't know exactly where this will take there is what they called positive feedback were certain things happen and they continue to get

here on earth we also have a waste problem and plastics make up a big part of it. biodegradable plastic made from renewable resources could be a sustainable alternative but that would also gobble up our natural resources it's enough scientists might have found a solution. but you can see. this for my prairie in this town a. purposed and now houses the plastics innovation competent center. director has a ph d. in chemistry he worked in industry making plastics for more than thirty years now he wants to develop eco friendly alternatives. the new materials should be recyclable and bio based but they should not use corn or other food stuffs as a starting material. need to have. resources we can just continue to use up what is there and then throw it away or burn it so this is not sustainable. something that's widely available and usually just thrown away could prove to be part of the solution. to give credit to eight million songs in europe forty five million dollars globally but that's the crowbar to make new plastics large volumes easy to achieve renewable biodegrada

back on earth its systems worked well but things might go very differently here. the first test begins the satellite releases the small box into space then seeks to recapture it the live video feed shows how the space dredger casts its nets. and they scenarios the mother deborah is captured in one fell swoop. the thing that struck me was i have been a fan of space for so many years but i've never seen anything like that i'm incredibly proud of this actually and you say realize this is a world first you know it's never ever been done before to be involved with something like that is really incredible. remove debris is set to test a number of clean up techniques in the months to come it's other equipment includes a retractable harpoon but what happens next will the satellite itself turn into a drifting chunk of space junk. too could be a bit strange with a mission that this testing technology for removing debris at the end the produces some good results we're going to clean everything after this mission. the final experimental be for this week a satellite to destroy

at the same time and not only that but evidence of high science geometric geo glyphs on the earth on the scale of hundreds of meters squares circles they even perform the exercise that we attribute to the ancient greeks of squaring the circle a very very sophisticated geometrical exercise you can see that done on a scale of hundreds of meters in the amazon so this is the point that we are we do have some of the information from this wiped out civilization because. not everyone was killed by the comet no not everyone there were there were just as we live today in a world where there are hunter gather is there a hunter gather is in the amazon who don't even know we exist there are hunter gatherers in the maybe it who live a full hunter gatherer lifestyle they know we exist but they choose to perpetuate to perpetuate their lifestyle they are co-existing with an advanced civilization so called ours and i suggest it was exactly the same during the ice age that there was an advanced civilization on the planet as many myths and traditions suggest that it co-existed with hunter gatherers but

narrator: t today on "earth focus," coral reefs are home to 1/4 of all fish and marine life. but now, due to rising ocean temperatures, coral reefs are in great peril. around the world, dedicated people are working together to save thehe corals, coming up on "earth focus." coral reefs are the most diverse ecosystems on the planet. while they cover less than 2% of the ocean floor, reefs provide livelihoods, food, and shoreline protection, as well as being home to millions of aquatic species. but coral reefs everywhere are being destroyed by warming seas, chemical runoff, plastic waste, and destructive fishing practices. man: coral reefs are very important for fish populations and diversity. narrator: mark van thillo is the captain of the mir, a 100-foot sailing vessel built in 1910 and world headquarters of the biospsphere foundation, which he created with gaieie alling, an ocean scientist and d his partnr of 30 years. together, they have been on the leading edge of documenting the dramatic changes in the planet's coral reefs. alling: we started an 18-year expedition around th

earth from maybe say the least station, the earth is like the best of space station, it looks like a fishbowl -- if you look at the earth from the space station, it looks like a fishbowl. went backgoogle and as far as 1900 and i looked at the north pole and the south and there was a huge ice mass on both of them. but now if you look at it today, you can hardly find any ice. the polar bears are going extinct, and we have to take care of this planet, because she is our mother. she feeds us, she gives us water to drink, we grow our food, yet there is one undeniable fact, and that is that if the earth dies, we die, because this is our life source. people need to get really serious about what is going on because things are moving fast and it is time for us to change. host: let me ask the cofounder of earth day, mr. hayes, do you agree with her, things are moving fast? guest: we are clearly in a position where we are approaching some talking points. that really frightening thing, which the scientists today clearly don't know when this will take place, what they call positive feedback loops

how does the mean influence weather here on earth. mushroom hunters claim that after a moonlit night you're more likely to find extra healthy specimens ones that are largely free of worms. conventional wisdom says that's because clear nights with a full moon are cooler than others which is generally true but it's not the moon that's responsible for the lower temperatures it's the lack of clouds that would have helped retain the heat absorbed by the planet during the day. when the sky is clear to scapes more easily from the lower atmosphere leaving it colder on the ground. but the moon does have an effect on weather albeit indirectly it's the moon's gravitational pull that causes time and there have been flow moves large quantities of water which acts as a heat buffer and therefore influences weather patterns and it's estimated that without the tides our planet would rotate three times faster that would have drastic results turbulence in the atmosphere would increase enormously creating hurricanes with winds up to five hundred kilomete

from environmental threats when it comes to protecting the earth from for example a comet impact we're not interested to tall and the thing is that we could that we could do that and the key point that i really need to make is that that original giant comet broke up into multiple fragments that caused the cataclysm twelve thousand eight hundred years ago huge bits of it are still in orbit in the torrid meteor stream which the earth passes through twice a year and this is regarded by responsible astronomers as the most grave collision hazard facing the earth at the present time and it doesn't need to be gloom and doom all we need to do is take all that ingenuity all that money all that power that we now put into weapons of mass destruction and turn it towards protection of the earth because these events when they happen are world changing do we really want to see the end of our civilization because that's what's that's what's in the offing unless we do something about this but the good news is we can do something about it my goodness economic interests are already talking about mining a

materially sealed off as a laboratory to study earth's ecology. van thillo: we had a million-gallon ocean with an entire coral reef that came from southern mexico, from yucatan. we started to look at the health of the corals. what we discovered--and gaie was in the ocean every day--what she discovered was that if we are healthy, our biosphere is healthy, or if our biosphere is healthy, we are healthy. it became written in our bodies, so to speak, because our little biosphere cycled so much faster. carbon cycled faster, water cycled faster, all of these things, so it became a real way of thinking about how everything connects, how the water connects everything, how the atmosphere connects everything. what was amazing was you could actually look at the health of your biosphere by looking at the corals. biosphere foundation was founded inside biosphere 2 with the idea--if our coral is healthy, our biosphere is healthy,y, well, let's ggo takea look at the health of our corals in biosphere 1. a ship isis the best ananalogy a biosphere because you have

it is a combination of school children learning about the earth on earth day. we are being educated through television, radio, buta day. we are being educated through television, radio, but a giant number of people, very significant number of people, very significant number of people worldwide, taking pa rt number of people worldwide, taking part in cleanups, treeplanting, protests as you reported on earlier, petition drives, meeting with their city councils, commitment from governments and corporations. the vatican always does something big, the sikhs in india, 2a million people banning plastics in their temples. so it's a wider range of activities. kathleen, ijust want to pick you up, because that is a huge range of activities, but you did mention those rebellions, protest, the direct action that's been happening in london and other european cities. is that something you get behind, direct action, or is earth day separated out? absolutely. the first earth day brought 20 million people out into the streets in the united states. it remains the largest civic eng

satellites orbiting the earth can 110w satellites orbiting the earth can now look down on it and absolutely extraordinary detail. using cameras on the ground, in the airand in space, using cameras on the ground, in the air and in space, we can tell the story of life on earth from a brand—new perspective. ata time brand—new perspective. at a time when the earth's surface is changing faster than at any point in human history, we can seejust what impact we are having. you can see earth from space tonight at 9pm on bbc one. now let's look at him and who also has access to cameras up above us, ben rich with the weather forecast. things had started feeling considerably warmer across much of the uk, a trend that will continue. we started today with areas of fog and cloud, but much of that has been breaking up to reveal sunny skies. we keep sunshine into the first part of the evening, and overnight many places keep clear skies. it looks like we will develop extra cloud close to the east coast which will roll in land and make for misty, murky conditions in places, temperatures between five and 9

. >>> for earth day, a special series of reports we are calling earth matters. we'll take you to every continent to show you how people around the world are tackling environmental challenges from pollution to extreme weather to delivering clean energy. >> with that, we begin with today's "eye opener." your world in 90 seconds. >> terror attacks that targeted churches and hotels. another explosion near the church. >> the death toll rises in sri lanka. >> 23 people are under arrest. >> a warning came days ago. >> in new mexico, the leader of a militia group detaining migrant families is in federal custody. >>> u.s. is ending sanction waivers for countries that import iranian oil. >> going to zero. >> the partisan battle is escalating. >> there's nothing wrong with taking information from russians. depends on where it came from. >>> a flight from miami to boston. they were part of a student group. >> in ukraine, a comedian who plays the president on tv will soon lead the country. >> all that -- >> into the stands. >> check out the dad who saves his kid. father of t

can you release the latest earth science survey, and when can he expect ketel's earth surveys to be launched and when will they be funded? sdplz >> as of right now, we have the largest earth science budget in the united states. if you add up the european space agency and canada and japan and russia, our partners on the other side of the international space station, collectively thi their gdps are higher than us and we're about equal to spending all of that combined. in fact, this particular earth science budget request is higher than five of the budgets that were enacted under president obama, which is a solid, i think, position to be in. i know you and i have talked. my commitment is and will be to do everything possible to make nasa an apolitical bipartisan organization. i want to drive consensus, and the way we get consensus is to listen to the ketel surveys from the national academy of sciences, and to the best of my ability, i have done that, and my commitment is to continue doing that. >> thank you. my time is expired. i yield back. thank you. >> thank you. mr. posey? >> thank you, mad

the good news is that rare earths aren't in fact all that rare. the bad news is that mining them is difficult and bad for the environment and reserves are finite supply of some rare earths could be exhausted in just a few decades what can we do to stop them running out. replacing your smartphone too often. and when you do get a new one take the old one to be recycled. now there's an idea it's not just smartphones though is it in our bid to save the planet we want to replace the combustion engine with electric motors and for that we need lithium the key element in producing the kind of high efficiency batteries needed for electro mobility the price of lithium is rising rapidly and the major lithium produces chile argentina and bolivia are already being dumped the saudi arabia of latin america but lithium can also be found here in europe in the wife's back in the austrian alps european elysium pioneers aim to help reduce the continent's dependence on imports. the gold of the future as the green here. this is a lithium mine in austria that you posit

medium earth orbit or m.e.d.o. accommodates satellites at distances of two thousand to thirty five thousand kilometers from mars this region of space is frequented by navigation satellites. the next level at just under thirty six thousand kilometers is for satellites in geostationary orbit satellites here follow the direction of the earth's rotation they're typically used for telecommunications including global television broadcasts each geostationary satellite is assigned to a box around a hundred kilometers wide the distance to the next box is around five hundred kilometers. geostationary satellites have a habit of drifting out of orbit due to factors such as the earth's uneven gravity distribution. once a geostationary satellite reaches the end of its mission or has become redundant it can end up in a graveyard orbit this is located two to three hundred kilometers above its operational altitude. nonetheless the space junk that has accumulated over the decades remains a problem the problem is red white but only i

so earth day represents no longer a day, a week, month, season and earth day events week, month, season and earth day eve nts go week, month, season and earth day events go on year—round. week, month, season and earth day events go on year-round. as you say, you're part of the launch of this such a long time ago in effect, i just wonder what make of the progress in the protest movement particularly what is going on in london and edinburgh at the moment. is that something you agree with or would you rather everything come under one umbrella was yellow i wasn't there for the first day but i can guarantee you that they wouldn't be debating today if they should change to a dialogue if theyjust walked in and ask for a conversation nothing would happen. disruption is never a good thing in normal life, it impacts business and your commute and everything else, but i guarantee you that it is because of that that we are talking about is what the next steps are both in great britain and around the world. having youth involved is critical. it's been cyclical but certainly youth were a dominant fo

of course we can't have a dish that's the size of earth so that's why they simulated this size of a dish with different stations with different telescopes and different parts of the world as was on the and the press conference as well. still there are gaps you can without this big dish you can't have all the signals that come from the black hole. now they have those they still have those big data and they try to put them all together they have this fake that you can't even transmit them by internet just you know just as an image you need to store them on hot and ship them and ship them to the supercomputer that can analyze them and can make up the image so it's not a photo but it's an image made up of big huge data that was gathered so far right i'll brush from d.w. science desk thanks so much for filling us in on the part of you know the universe we thought was invisible but now we can see that. all right let's have a look at some of the other stories making news around the world new zealand's parliament has voted to ban military style weapons in the west in the wake of last month'
