China has gone to lengths to weave its success story in Xishazhou, or West Sand, in the heart of the South China Sea, turning the once barren outpost into a green treasure with more than ten years of ecological conservation efforts by Sansha City, south China's Hainan Province, according to a documentary produced by China Global Television Network (CGTN). The tree-planters have overcome inclement weather like strong winds and waves, and adverse natural conditions including sandy soil and lack of fresh water to have successfully grown trees on 90 percent of the small island so far. The new documentary of the CGTN on the South China Sea ecological conservation will be aired on July 8, 2024. Titled "Greening the Blue," the 30-minute documentary also shows how a rescued sea turtle returns home, coral gardens are replanted, and sand beaches are turned into green islands in the South China Sea as a result of conservation efforts over the past more than 10 years. China has set a target of defining at least 150,000 square kilometers of marine areas for protection by 2030 in its Biodiversity Conservation Strategy and Action Plan (2023-2030). https://www.cctvplus.com/news/20240707/8384720.shtml#!language=1 Welcome to subscribe us on: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NewsContent.CCTVPLUS Twitter: https://twitter.com/CCTV_Plus LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/cctv-news-content Video on Demand: www.cctvplus.com If you are in demand of this video footage, please contact with our business development team via email: service@cctvplus.com

A fisherman's family in Zhaoshu Island in the South China Sea has seen a drastic turnaround over the past decade since the island underwent an ecological transformation. The 30-minute documentary "Greening the Blue" reveals how life for Chen Siyu's family has changed -- from living in a temporary shelter to inhabiting a two-story sea-view apartment. In 2014, even drinking water was hard to come by for Chen's family. In that same year, however, a seawater desalination plant and power stations were established on the island. Once virtually barren, Zhaoshu has become a veritable treasure island of greenery after eight years of ecological conservation efforts by Sansha City, Hainan Province. The initiative resulted in the construction of numerous modern, environmentally friendly buildings. By 2016, Zhaoshu had electricity, 4G networks, and running water. Once the new fishermen's village was completed on October 1, 2019, Chen's family moved in and now enjoy a clean supply of running water. The new documentary on ecological conservation in the South China Sea by China Global Television Network (CGTN) will air on July 8, 2024. The production also shows how a rescued sea turtle returns home, coral gardens are replanted, and sand beaches are turned into green islands in the South China Sea as a result of conservation efforts over the past more than 10 years.

London witnessed a breathtaking aerial display today as the annual Trooping the Colour flypast celebrated King Charles III's official birthday. The Red Arrows, the Royal Air Force’s elite aerobatic team, delivered a stunning performance, all captured from a unique vantage point in South West London. This year's flypast featured a diverse array of aircraft, including Chinooks, Typhoons, and the Voyager, creating impressive visual patterns against London's iconic skyline. Don't miss the incredible 4K footage showcasing this majestic event from an exclusive perspective.

Authorities are responding to a reported major incident at Ysgol Dyffryn Aman, a secondary school in Ammanford, Carmarthenshire. Video footage captured an air ambulance at the scene alongside a significant police presence. Concerned parents have been seen gathering around the area as details continue to emerge. Further information is awaited as emergency teams work on site.

Watch live as voting takes place across France on Sunday 7 July, in a parliamentary run-off election that will reconfigure the political landscape, with opinion polls forecasting the far-right National Rally (RN) will win the most votes but likely fall short of a majority. Such an outcome could plunge the country into a chaotic hung parliament weeks before the Paris Olympic Games, severely denting the authority of president Emmanuel Macron. Equally, if the nationalist, eurosceptic RN did win a majority, the pro-business, Europhile president could find himself forced into a difficult "cohabitation". Marine Le Pen's RN scored historic gains to win last Sunday's first-round vote, raising the spectre of France's first far-right government since World War Two. But after centrist and leftist parties joined forces over the past week in a bid to forge an anti-RN barricade, Ms Le Pen's hopes of the RN winning an absolute majority in the 577-seat National Assembly have diminished. Polls suggest the RN will become the dominant legislative force, but fail to reach the 289-seat majority that Ms Le Pen and her 28-year-old protege Jordan Bardella believe would allow them to claim the prime minister's job and drag France sharply rightward.

Watch live from Paris with a view of the Arc de Triomphe on election day.
