:15:23. > :15:29.The thousands who have gone out of Falluja in their droves now are
:15:30. > :15:32.obviously exhausted. They have walked for long hours and they are
:15:33. > :15:37.hungry, they are thirsty. They need shelt and were text and they need
:15:38. > :15:42.medicine and we are lacking a bit of everything. We are running out of
:15:43. > :15:47.safe drinking water, food is running out. There are no tents for many of
:15:48. > :15:53.them. Thousands are staying out in the scorching heat, in the sun,

:16:00. > :16:03.scenarios where sand is unavoidable and I have met handicapped people,

:16:08. > :16:11.unacceptable that they have just fled from one humanitarian disaster
:16:12. > :16:16.and stepping into another one. You describe a very desperate scene. Why
:16:17. > :16:20.is it that we have this situation, because we knew the government was
:16:21. > :16:29.going to go into Falluja, didn't we? Indeed. We have been warning about
:16:30. > :16:33.the unfolding disaster even before we had this mass exodus of at least
:16:34. > :16:39.30,000 people in just about three days. The problem is that the local
:16:40. > :16:42.authorities, the government and the United Nations need to step in and
:16:43. > :16:48.we need international donors to fund this will emergency. We are running
:16:49. > :16:55.out of funding. Iran has a croppies displacement problem. We have been
:16:56. > :17:02.seeing millions, now - over 3.3 million Iraqis since the beginning
:17:03. > :17:07.of this year and the funding has only covered less than 30%. Now on
:17:08. > :17:12.top of all that, we have Falluja and soon we are going to have other
:17:13. > :17:17.places. This is not going to end and we have been to the government and
:17:18. > :17:22.it the international community and to international governments, our
:17:23. > :17:26.appeal is you cannot forget the thousands of civilians, after you

:18:16. > :18:22.four-year mission into the depths of the Atlantic Ocean ATLAS is the
:18:23. > :18:26.biggest project looking at deep Atlantic eco-systems ever
:18:27. > :18:31.undertaken, by working through the plan we have, we will have a better
:18:32. > :18:35.understand of how eco-systems function in the deep ocean and will
:18:36. > :18:41.have a better understanding of them in the feature. This involves 24

:18:46. > :18:49.out to explore over a dozen deep sites throughout the ocean. As on
:18:50. > :18:54.island nation our seas seem so familiar. The coast is so much a
:18:55. > :18:58.part of our lives but you only have to go about 100 miles offshore
:18:59. > :19:02.before there are areas that we know very, very little B and there are
:19:03. > :19:06.rich eco-systems out there already being impacted by climate change and
:19:07. > :19:10.that are already being explored by industries like fishing and oil and

:19:23. > :19:27.continuous measurements of ocean chemistry and currents that affect
:19:28. > :19:30.our climate. These can remain at see for months at a time, gathering
:19:31. > :19:36.information that researchers say is needed urgently Humans are having a
