aren't that obvious. although half of it has disappeared over the last 30 years, choose your spot carefully and there are still bright corals and plenty of fish. you don't notice the subtle change in water temperature due to climate change and the coal port being built along the reef's closest point are from here far out of sight. but one threat once pointed out is all too obvious the spikey crown of thorn star fish, there is playing of them down here, they feet on coral and can be toxic to fish. scott is one of a team of people fighting back injecting the star fish with poison, it works but is a huge effort. >> the amount of damage that they can do to the coral and i have seen it firsthand is quite amazing. and the coral is facing enough threats as it is. the crown of thorn star fish at least is something that we can actively do something about. >> reporter: the star fish are thriving because there is an increase in the sea of the micro flanker tan that they feed on.

one star fish can produce 60 million eggs a year far more are surviving than should. there have been outbreaks of crown of thorn star fish in the past, but this latest one is the worst. and it's human activities on lands that are largely to blame. growing sugar cane is big business along australia's east coast. its farmers use fertilizedders, but when the exemption washes off the land in to rivers and down to the sea the fertilizers feed the flanker tonight tony has changed his farming practices, applying fertilizers much more precisely than he once did. >> basically we are only applying chemical on basically 40% of the area. >> reporter: but once you would have put it everywhere in the old days. >> oh, yeah, yeah. run off from our properties end up in the saltwater so many what we do on this land does affect the reef.

treasurers, it's almost the size of italy or japan so it does face a whole range of threats along its length and absolutely climate change, water pollution and, port development are some of the biggest threats that the reef is facing at the moment. >> okay, and if unesco did decide to put the great barrier reef on its endangered list what would that do on the ground? how might it help protect the reef? >> if the reef was listed, as endangered, it would being great shame for the australian government. it would be an international embarrass think. no one wants to see the reef listed as in danger, what we want to see is the reef' health improve. we think that the world heritage committee by keeping the pressure on the australian government by requiring these reports, by watching closely what is going on on the ground, is playing an incredibly important role in pressuring australia to keep its promises to make greater investment to his make greater effort to his turn around the health of the

great barrier reef so it's still there for future generation generations. >> so what can be done? what must be done to help protection the health of the reef? >> we need to see a rapid cut in the amount of water pollution from sugar cane farming and other types of agriculture along the coast. we need to see it cut by 80% by 2025 and that's going to be a difficult and costly exercise. we have to see much more investment by the australian government in reducing pollution run off. and that will help stop the crown of thorn outbreaks. the other thing we need is tighter controls on port development. thankfully because of the international pressure because of the outcry by ordinary people everywhere, we are starting to see action on that front. and the australian and queens lands governments are bringing in a ban on the dumping of dredge spoil. and expect that to come in to effect quite soon. but port developments have a lot of other impacts on wetlands and on the coastline. they lead to an increase in

shipping. so we are still concerned about the impacts of some of the port developments that are proposed. >> luis think thanks very much for joining us here on al jazerra. egypt as president el-sisi has vowed to push through new security laws that would speed up death sentences he was speaking at the funeral of the public prosecute that was killed in a bomb attack on monday. gerald tan has more. >> reporter: june 30th. initially a national holiday in egypt to commemorate protest that his triggers the removal of former president mohamed morrisey by the military way to years ago. in instead it was a day of mourning for the public prosecutors who was assassinate odds monday. at his funeral the current president promised reforms that would make death sentences more swiftly.

>> reporter: for many people, there is a simple solution, bribery. we went to the passport office, which is notorious for having people who offer fast service for extra payment. these men who work as agents for the officials offered to get me a new passport in three days. it's supposed to take at least nine. he tells me they can do it for an extra $50. the government accepts bribery of its workers most of them poorly paid, is a reality. now a new wage increase is part of an effort to stamp out the practice. but it pay psych provoking controversy he, not all public sector workers are benefiting. among those missing out are teachers. >> i think most of the teachers in southeast asia earns four times more than the teachers in the university in the same ranks. >> reporter: the rise in salaries is tin tended to curb

crux meant to give government workers less of an incentive to accept bribes, but from the perspective of the teachers it reward the bad behavior of corrupt bureaucrats while ignoring the hard work that they put in for very little pay. it's also unclear how the pay hike will be paid for. it's going to cost the government an additional $3 billion. the initial proposal involved freeing up funds by getting rid of thousands of people in overlapping jobs. but that idea proved a political nonstarter. >> one is cut up because he cannot live with two what he gets. i believe this will settle this issue for good. but now i find this is not the solution that it provides is only small. because it is greed which has taken over everybody and greed is the root of corruption. and i don't know how to fight

greed. >> reporter: it's a plan that hasn't been fully thought out yet. but that won't upset abu hussein one bit if it means that next time he only has to show up once to get things done. al jazerra. well, time stood still but only for a moment. midnight gmt which was a few hours ago was delayed by one second. the so-called leap second was added to competent for the speed of the earth's rotation. charlie angela reports from greenwich. >> reporter: time, we are often losing it, running out of it. but now we are actually gaining an extra second, a leap second, to keep us in sync with the earth's own sense of time. time used to be measured by the earth's rotation, one complete turn taking 24 hours. then atomic clocks were inning surrendered. they use the vibrations and atoms to measure time with super accuracy, atomic time is constant but the earth's rotation is gradually slowing down.

the two move out of sync by a fraction each day so we add a leap second every now and a again. but there are consequences of tinkering with time. many computer systems report programmed to deal with the extra second and glitches can happen. satellites and gps systems also struggle to cope with the adjustment. at the royal observe tore at greenwich the home of timekeeping they say precision time is key to society. >> timekeeping is so important to any self saying if you look back to the greeks, egyptians babylonians measuring time was very important for running an urban or agricultural civilization. and it still is today even more so, so that's why this is an issue. that's why we need to know how we are keeping track of time. >> reporter: most years the earth runs bang on time and no adjustment is needed. but in november scientists will vote on whether in this digital age the sleep seconds should be stopped. abolishing them would have no immediate effect. we would hardly notice it.

but over many millennia clocks might say it's day when it's dark outside. charlie angela, al jazerra london. as ever, there is lots more on our website the address for that is aljazerra.com. i'm "ali velshi on target", from high atop iran's capital city of tehran. >> a free world cannot allow iran to have a nuclear weapon. >> how much could nations trust the united states. >> this morning iran's president offered the same wild states. >> we seek a comprehensive diplomatic solution. >> this deal will not change iran for the better. >> a difficult and long-lasting
