00:00A marine biologist said the stranded whale off the Baltic Sea coast in Germany has no chance of survival.
00:08Rescuers led an operation last week to try to save the sick hamper whale, which has been nicknamed Timmy.
00:14Police put up a 500-meter protection zone to keep curious bystanders from getting too close.

00:25Gestern sind noch 5 Kilo Zinsalber auf dem Wal aufgetragen worden.
00:30Und das ist nicht das, was ich glaube, was adäquat ist, um einem sterbenden Tier tatsächlich die Würde zu geben,
00:41die es verdient.
00:42Mike expressed his skepticism in the effectiveness of the ongoing rescue measures.
00:47Ich glaube, der Wal wird in kürzester Zeit jetzt sterben.
00:53Und ich möchte auch die Frage aufwerfen, was ist daran denn tatsächlich so schlimm?
00:59Ja, Tiere leben, Tiere sterben.
01:02Dieses Tier ist wirklich, wirklich sehr, sehr, sehr krank.
01:07Und es hat entschieden, sich Ruhe zu suchen.
