0:01:06 > 0:01:10Islands have been busy rebuilding and cleaning up after Hurricane
0:01:10 > 0:01:14Irma. The hurricane spread a lot of debris and rubbish all across the
0:01:14 > 0:01:19island. It's a people's houses, boats, cars. Workers have been busy
0:01:19 > 0:01:24collecting it and moving it to a dump -- bits of peoples houses. Lots
0:01:24 > 0:01:28of houses and offices are still damaged and builders are working
0:01:28 > 0:01:33every day to try to repair them. All the schoolkids are back in
0:01:33 > 0:01:37class, many are attending schools that are not their own because their
0:01:37 > 0:01:40classrooms are still damaged. Many people here hope the workers
0:01:40 > 0:01:43can start to repairs and school buildings soon.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47Lots of progress has been made on the British Virgin Islands but there

0:02:28 > 0:02:31How do we get rid of plastics in our oceans?
0:02:31 > 0:02:33It's a problem that lots of you care about -
0:02:33 > 0:02:36and it's had a huge amount of attention recently.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Well, there's a new project which is trying to help.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Dan's in Brighton for us this morning.
0:02:41 > 0:02:49Hi, Dan.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53Good morning. Look at the amount of plastic we found on the beach this
0:02:53 > 0:02:57morning. Look at all that rubbish that has been collected in the last
0:02:57 > 0:03:01hour or so. There is a new project to try to clean up the beaches, get
0:03:01 > 0:03:06rid of the plastic using one of these, a drone camera. The idea is
0:03:06 > 0:03:12people can take pictures of the beach, click where it is and get it
0:03:12 > 0:03:17cleaned up. Eddie is flying the drone, is it that simple?Yes, we
0:03:17 > 0:03:22need everybody whether young, old, scientist not a scientist, to log in
0:03:22 > 0:03:27and help us by tagging the plastics in the images. We are part of
0:03:27 > 0:03:31British Science Week running until the 18th of March. If you can speak
0:03:31 > 0:03:37to your school and teachers, get your class to log on and tag, it is
0:03:37 > 0:03:42a fun game and you can help us to map the plastics the country.Will
0:03:42 > 0:03:47that clean up our beaches?It builds a map of where the plastic is, we
0:03:47 > 0:03:53can send volunteers and local councils to send resources to
0:03:53 > 0:03:57collect the plastic.Laura, you are with the Marine Conservation
0:03:57 > 0:04:04Association?We found 780 bits of litter per hundred metres, that is
0:04:04 > 0:04:10huge. We can do very simple steps, do you need a straw? Most people
0:04:10 > 0:04:16don't. Renee campaign, say I do not need to be taking this straw, local
0:04:16 > 0:04:20businesses can do the same. Nice to talk to you this morning,
0:04:20 > 0:04:25thanks, guys. The issue of plastics is a huge problem. Lots of debate on
0:04:25 > 0:04:29how we can cut down the amount of rubbish in the sea and on the
