and we shall carry in doha those are the top stories on al-jazeera our minister teresa mayes breck's a deal has been defeated by the largest margin in u.k. parliamentary history the opposition labor party responded by proposing a no confidence motion and may's minority government paul brennan has more from london. the eyes to the right two hundred into. the nose to the left four hundred and thirty two. two hundred thirty vote margin of defeat was an emphatic rejection of teresa mayes bret's its strategy but still the british prime minister is refusing to resign stead throwing down a challenge to the crowd

a chamber every day that passes without this issue being resolved means more uncertainty more bitterness and more rancor the government of hurt has heard what the house has said tonight but i ask members on all sides of the house to listen to the british people who want this issue settle. and to work with the government to do just that the opposition labor party reacted furiously and after weeks of hesitation on the timing the labor leader finally launched his bid to oust her she cannot seriously believe that after two years of failure she is capable of negotiating a good deal for the people of this country the most important issue facing us is that the government has lost the confidence of this house in this country i therefore mr speaker inform you i have now tabled a motion of no confidence in this. that motion will be debated later on wednesday

that the indications are that she will win that vote rival camps of pro and anti breaks it demonstrators outside westminster are still no pyrrha about whether bracks it is going to happen and if so in what form is march the twenty ninth still achievable as a proxy deadline is another referendum the only solution or should britain just leave the e.u. and fall back on to w t o rules all of those options have their supporters here. is raising a question of the whole principle of parliamentary procedure british government against the parliament parliament. what most initially are trying to reach out question has now given the rise to hate kaleidoscope of flex optics. outcomes. europe's reaction was swift. spoke of his regret at the u.k. vote the risk of a disorderly withdrawal of the united kingdom has increased with this evening's

vote he said i urge the united kingdom to clarify its intentions as soon as possible time is almost up and been very very clear it is not going to reopen negotiations and even if it did it will not get rid of the back story which is the main thing that this place doesn't like so she's out of options which is going to keep him within that she does have options because that's the only way that you can survive for one more day one week one moment. to recently had warned m.p.'s they faced a choice between her deal no deal or no bracks it the options have just narrowed by one brendan al-jazeera westminster with them and kenya have killed at least five people at a hotel complex and nairobi surveillance footage outside the building has been released security forces are evacuating survivors says it was behind the attack and the u.s. has confirmed that one of its citizens has been killed international criminal court has acquitted a former president of ivory coast of crimes against humanity a role the prosecution did not prove its case against iran babbo who's been in jail

for millenia the oceans lay outside the dominion of man. as state's influence extended only three nautical miles from the coast a little further than a cannonball could travel. but then humans discovered the ocean floor. and the largest land grab in weld history began.

i'm tom apply and i'm in the bedroom of rodeo should in the north atlantic twice i've sold it twice in small yards and also crossed in a bottle bug in. with him when i lived on rocco in this some people call a survival capsule i call it a wooden box it's a house like this is my house this is a one man house i lived with a forty days it did the job it kept the window for me i was warm and dry but don't forget i'm right on the top of the cliff it's just straight down to the city.

told mclean is one of the u.k.'s greatest adventure has he crossed the atlantic. five times the first time in a globe. once in a vessel shaped like a beer bottle for his latest trip he sailed for newfoundland in the smallest sailboat ever to cross the atlantic. and. soon mclean traveled to new york in a boat built to assemble a whale. boat was more than an adventure. it was a mission a mission done in service to mother england. somebody said about st kilda and they go in there but so he. calls right out there. and there seems to be

a dispute who owns it and i thought well if i be your first civilian to reside on rock call and that would help the case it wasn't quite so good the wind carried that. they closed in without it. is very dangerous there now you can see how lumpy is quite dangerous. they were far from ok after that momentary triumph but then don't whack the big way down i go down there is fifty four straight down into the helplessly into. the landing at one thousand nine hundred eighty five. told him to clean his knife. but he eventually made it to safety and flew in london and getting to the top was only the beginning however great britain willing to claim the law because an island it. happened international law stipulates at the time must remain there for twenty

one days old. when the boat turned to go home and leave me for the first time. i was glad to see them go i was on my adventure i'm here with iraq and the birds i'm happy to be here of the cheve are making history. to remind those who may challenge it that brittania ruled these waves. for the u.k. it was about more than just claiming a lump of granite in the ocean the real objective was to secure the resource rich area oh and lock all the islet was to play a key lonely in british territorial claims. the main players in british maritime claims work in an office on the south coast of india and. it's

a fascinating area of work to do it it's there's not often somebody working in oceans signs that you do get the opportunity to mix both the legal on the technical aspects and see how they work together almost in order to develop something on behalf of the state. but we have the united kingdom to the east and as we come west we passed a rock all rock itself on to the plateau the land area of great britain and two hundred forty thousand square kilometers the area that the u.k. have submitted for the rock is a hundred sixty three thousand square kilometers. to. my main reason to go to rockall was to inhabit it and if i stayed in international

law less than twenty one days i'm only visited i had to stay more than twenty one days and by staying there more than twenty one days that in fact forty days it wasn't iraq it's an oil and i made it or not and. local. for the u.k. to claim the territorial sea overwhelmed along it had to prove that it was inhabitable yet the eyelids could be easily confused with any walk and tom stay was controversial so controversial that the u.k. had to put another territory into the mix st kilda the archipelago increased the british trails claimed by one hundred sixty thousand square kilometers st kilda has been deserted ever since its thirty six remaining inhabitants left almost a century ago but humans lived there once and they could live there again at least theoretically. what does the u.k.

want with all this water. and by opening a piece of the ocean. the idea of the ocean has changed over time. from. opposed to show how goods and their kotoko has one source of the world and they flew into an ocean is very much sure what was important to them and also. before fourteen ninety two before columbus's journey to the americas the ocean as a broad portion of the world's surface as a as a major space that figured into our sense of the globe really wasn't there in the

middle ages the world was thought to be a single large landmass a veritable mega continent without ocean. so the ocean really plays no role at all except to show a limit the ocean shows the limit of society and shows the limits of actually of god's kingdom of the kingdom on earth to the east beyond the ocean clay eden lay that the promised land lay heaven beyond that there was really nothing baptist. for most of human history the oceans would projection screens for the imagination of an unexplored an irrepressible the a mighty parea a place of terror. despite its dangers the ocean became more and more important over the centuries. as global trade developed merchant fleets transformed the oceans into vos shipping lanes people

from charleston centuries would never have dreamed of laying claim to the ocean for them it was a blue expanse formed with dangers and obstacles that needed to be overcome a sailor's journey to foreign lands. and of course the two dimensional plane is ironic because the ocean is so material a three dimensional you know we you step into the ocean you sink. yet in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries something happened that changed our idea of the ocean for ever the seabed became a place of exploration in eight hundred fifty eight as the transatlantic cape was being late engineers noticed variation in the oceans could this be evidence of undersea mountains the first scientific study of the ocean floor was undertaken by the german survey vessel meteor in one thousand nine hundred twenty five scientists

today likened the expedition to columbus's first voyage which began the exploration of a towering incognita a previously unknown land over the next few decades a picture of the undersea cosmos gradually emerged. suddenly kind of developed this new awareness of the seabed of the underneath of course this itself is also kind of a fantasized idealisation of the ocean because you're imagining that you can see through the water column the water is missing from here the fish are missing a subtle way the topography of the seabed is quite literally brought to the surface . of the discovery of the seabed radically changed our idea of the ocean the ocean was no longer just water it was first and foremost a land mass a vast expanse that belongs to no one but that could perhaps be seen just who. this man had

a groundbreaking idea. a president of the united states harry truman a man. or reeking of any other man on earth. harry truman asserted his country's influence with nothing claiming this ocean was a territory to retreat under water that could be annexed just. part of the united states. enormous quantities of oil befell in the gulf of mexico but the oil lay beyond the three miles island in which coastal states could exercise their song rights truman wanted more he wanted new terms story for the night it states the superpower needed more more oil urgently oil reserves on the mainland no longer sufficed. our dependence on these minerals and raw materials is so bread

and our supply so uncertain that we are moving as rapidly as we can and by every means that ingenuity and back to expand facilities to step up production find new sources of elop substitute and bring in increased supply from foreign sources. after to second world war in one thousand forty five then us president truman issued a proclamation. declaring that the natural resources in the. seabed and subsoil belong to the united states of america. in convincing the world that the american president not only had no will but also the right to incorporate undersea territory truman used an argument that built on

a recent discovery in some areas of the seabed oceanic others a continental. the us had to have this kind of basis of a jew logical link between its land mass and the land mass submerge and lead to its territory and be an idea of the geological continental shelf is the basis which the us saw as. a legal basis as well. they had to finally and the bases that they found most convincing was of course science. in. the.

eyes of a get c.n.n. not the coast by ever what you think was there should be their mirror should be again let's entry fifteen year tours like this name years. with every calvinists in the us we are by to get. the argument that the continent continues on made up the core of truman's justification this was the more convincing because the historical events that legitimized this theory which by far into history. possibly a far. corner entire do if keep this. time in the yard true jumps. over korean talent left by medion me mom. will feed your cat is a geophysicist at the alfred vega institute in play my husband alfred vega noticed that the coastlines of north and south america seems to fit together with those of

you up and africa like pieces of a possible fun indeed carnegie lookee in differ on fonz i. was dusty couldn't i much as some. good scientists today believe there was once a supercontinent that at some point began to drift. in the early twentieth century this idea seemed to completely store us. could turn. violent. this is on the continent on them in the atmosphere to know that if we only outs work invalid us africa the american doctors and indian. muslim if i get.

on. and does this to cure the present yet indian. it's here. to cause us as the con invite not. that. these are but i hear that's where the quote entire. went on he has only planted delegates has as a. were these are up or kunder that condemned. to form yet on this issue have to be done not your sausan of the feel of whom was you know gospel. their idea that this submerged land mass is really a prolongation of your land territory you know it's who can argue that this would not be partly right territory. the more people became aware of large quantities of oil and gas in the ocean floor the more coastal states tried to claim it for themselves they called for an international law based on the

geological definition of a continental shelf yet many states resisted the earth's history has not favored each country equally to brushless learned how to answer biden chairs for finance in mind us as we but fear not limit our part in forums that africa. particularly made up artist doesn't. think or hard in context or picturesque land. to balance out the geological differences that emerged over hundreds of millions of years the nations of the world abandoned the geological definition of a continental shelf in favor of a legal definition that applies to all coastal states uniformly the godless of its own. and to see geology every country has gone to the continental shelf extending two hundred nautical miles helps to see its exclusive economic zone. so

does the debut of this two hundred as a magic number became acceptable to many states at the conference but the broad margin states did not accept this because of course they were as far as they're concerned they would come out as a loser and it's not just the us and. also other states such as canada russia is also one of those states so they were not willing to give this up. ultimately states with a wide continental shelf prevailed and a cool's with momentous consequences was quietly appended to the law of the sea convention the cruise in question is article seventy six it says that the state can lay claim to its geological continental shelf in addition to its legal continental shelf provided in the state can supply data demonstrating the shelves outer limits within ten years. the time limit triggered

a veritable wound on the world's oceans and the largest land allocation in world history. for the first time in the history of humanity a land grab occurred based not only more on traditional forms of color but rather on geological findings. scientists have a special role in the case of the ocean because the physical difference isn't as obvious it's not as experienced if you're on an island detention no you're on an island you can experience where land meets water i have no idea where the seabed ends you know where the continental shelf fans and you know nobody does from every day observation.

so i would like to explain now actually article seventy six of the convention actually works and it's all about natural. laws so we have a lab actually the lab continues underwater or something like this everything is decided by the point where the continental gradient off but the foot of the continental slope this spot is used to calculate the shelves outen. limits the state can choose between two formulas it can extend its borders sixty nautical miles hundred kilometers from this point c. would. be more dangerous however to use the settlement fixedness will because the settlements on the mainland the state has a territorial claim to this spot of the sea bed the thicker the layer with sediment the better according to the thickness will the continental shelf extends until the

point where the thickness of sediment amounts to one percent of the distance from the foot of the slope. because no one in the chest understand data only thing can determine how far the state so when winds extend over the ocean hence a commission of x. that was found to deal with the global community recognizes the stakes and has so far in bullet has evolved one. zero non-si. five thousand mickey yeah it's not so good because of the poem is your own or am a lesion omission unz it emits off. as pows idiotic and says that it is as is g.'s e is g. to join you bob peeped then join just head busy show fever. and be truly involved. but. call him names

helped build to this commission yes now he is among its fiercest critics. she home in their home is sure no one know that paper for ten see a glimmer stop. sua yeah its bad when fob on that our right mocked. she nodded president. of the twenty one geologist of the continental shelf commission building d.c. to the united nations plaza filming it is for me that none of the members may speak to the public in spite of precisely because of the fact that their decisions can change maritime of the nations. easily.

i am confidentiality the. best i have plenty. of it. joe because you've run every loach that joe de it done the dad. why this good i was trying to end their lives yeah i. played of country then g.-d. found the knights crazy but does i just she tries to you know i was. in the next episode of science in a golden age i'll be exploring the contributions made by scholars during the medieval islamic period in the field of engineering. the heights of sophistication in mechanics at the time was the extravagant elephant cloak. written around age fifty eighteen the book contains

a range of ingenious inventions and contraptions science in a golden age with jim alkalinity on al-jazeera i think one of our biggest strengths is that we talk to normal everyday people we get them to tell their stories and doing that really reveals the truth people are still jabot outside these gates waiting for any information most of them don't know whether their loved ones are alive or dead or miami really is a place where two worlds meet we can get to washington d.c. two hours to get sit on juries in the rest of central america about the same time but more importantly why those two cultures north and south america beats us to teach equate to a very important place felt it was a big taiwan. a sovereign island state or a renegade province of china that must soon return to mainland control. as the battle for taiwanese hearts and minds intensifies. people in power investigates the tactics of those to whom reunification is only a matter of time. taiwan spies lies and cross three

times on a. i'm richelle carey in doha these are the top stories right now on al-jazeera prime minister teresa mayes brax a deal has been defeated by the largest margin in u.k. parliamentary history the eyes to the right two hundred into. the nose to the left four hundred and thirty two. after the vote the opposition labor party called for a vote of no confidence in the government which could trigger a general election may offer cross party talks to find a way forward every day the process without this issue being resolved means more uncertainty more business and full rancor the government has heard what the house

has said tonight but i ask members on all sides of the house to listen to the british people who want this issue settle. down to work with the government to do just that. now e.u. leaders are insisting dis deal is the best they can offer you never states would have to approve an extension to the march twenty ninth brock's a deadline that's a crushing free knowledge done for do you keep going to do next. on or sorry do we really mean the united kingdom will be turning to richard do you trust series in may and she did. come in and kenya have killed at least five people at a hotel complex in nairobi surveillance footage outside the building has been released the somali based al shabaab group says it is behind the attack the u.s. has confirmed that one of its citizens has been killed. international criminal court has acquitted the former president of ivory coast to crimes against humanity

recognizes states and their suffering borders as pows idiotic and zachary's as d.z. institute joined bob peeped. for the first time in the history of humanity a land grab occurred based not only more on traditional forms of power but rather on geological findings. of the experts who tipped the scales in loring's about maritime territories a notoriously unforthcoming one members agreed to speak about the commission on the condition the team meters in new york but in which city informs. personally i've always felt that we could do an effort to actually be more transparent and to communicate more.

so my name is walter roost i'm a marine physicist work at it from air france and i'm a member of the un commission on the limits of the continental shelf. well the first thing i should say is that they're not the work of the commission yes it's true it's quite. true that the very confidential fashion and the main reason behind that from the beginning while the reasons one is that we're dealing with sovereign rights of states secondly many of the states submit data that are actually confidential data derives from petroleum industry differences so in those data they have to be treated with a very high level of confidentiality there are powerful interests behind the state's petitions seabeds data have enormous economic significance this information contains important clues for where natural resources might be located industries

and states are not inclined to share this information which can be worth billions i think what we did what i could say is that as members of the commission i think we consider ourselves really scientific and technical experts but we also. cautions of the fact that our recommendations or decisions that we make have huge impact both politically economically. and so on so is it possible to distinguish those two. for geologists in the commission to have the job of if valuating continental shelf data submitted by countries officially the commission only makes recommendations but since their conclusions are not cooperated by anyone else they have de facto or pfoa t. to decide which nations get which territories. five nations that border the

arctic ocean are in a bid to extend their software to whites in the direction of the north pole denmark canada us norway and russia each wants as much toe choice possible the area is best . managing to contain ten percent of the world's oil was. due to fire who. had sulu shipped. if. for. us we're doing is is hince has put down. russians.

who. understood how to take advantage of the new. in two thousand and two it was one of the first countries to submit a claim to the continental shelf commission the russians asserting to no less than the entire essential arctic an area of one point five million square kilometers including the north pole coal hinz was known as the man who shot down blushes claim on account of insufficient scientific evidence employed a trick that many states are using to push through their claims even often there which. is and is a country and. this is only for boat. or d.l.c. este. ron. i'm

a fresh one of. the. missions. in the race to control the world's oceans data is key if a claim this rejected nations can have with searches collect information this effectively allows countries to circumvent the commission's ten year deadline governments can submit new reports until their claims who approved each additional geological submission brings with it a fresh womb for interpretation the name of the game is if you want to have the best answer for your time boundaries and. nor the best answer for your extended continental shelf you go out and collect the best modern day data possible to go in use for your final application for law the seed to ensure that the answer is the

best that it can be. russia has since submitted it with fines to date to the continental shelf commission but canada and denmark want to know home to. how can other countries with the same scientific documents claim the same territory . is an ocean and water is a continent it is a question of perspective the commission evaluates the scientific data and makes a decision in the for or against a state's claim once a claim is approved it is binding and cannot be with first. i don't know i mean we have no. if we replace all members of the commission

that the cleeve we have twenty one new members and we would give them the same case it would be get the same result can be quite certain we will not get exactly the same result so i. i don't believe that the commission can be a hundred percent right because one hundred percent right does not exist in natural sciences we're talking about in the preaching based all right up to this past day that. the commission is a clip of textbooks selected by the church the nations of the twenty one members on the commission nineteen come from countries that other side with territorial expansion to national interests plane decisions of its members what is certain is the recommendations and tested. and. the face plans of the committees your. have tried

on top line is that the work that's how i am in every age i my. my country they have put all your lives over the problems your nobody. wiking son well there were two candidates to make. and all i can say is that john mccain won so we end up thinking still. michael law which puts the international seabed to. say it is a type of executive council of the ocean floor they supervise one of the states are unable to get their hands on with continental shelf claims the i.s.a.'s official motto is that the deep sea bed is the common heritage of mankind they believe that

the ocean belongs to everyone the common heritage concept includes. a number of basic ideas the first idea is that. it's an area over which no single state can claim sovereignty and it has to be administered for the benefit of all mankind. the seabed all fourteen years the tosca distributing witches that are not in the sovereign areas of national states if a country or company makes a profit from mining minerals the i s a ensures that poor countries and countries without coastal borders receive a share. when founding the i s a states agreed to make environmental regulations a strict as possible for deep sea mining in international waters because no one knows its effect on the merits of the ecosystem.

so the i say has no standing in the continental shelf commission it's not an observer to the commission it has no right to object to a recommendation of the commission. the commission's recommendations go only to the coastal state that is making the submission and not to anybody else. the ocean compass ever three hundred sixty million square kilometers. of the earth's surface. over forty percent of this area has been assigned to deal continental shelves. claims on expanded continental shelves make up another ten percent of the ocean. it is now

projected that around fifty seven percent of the oceans will eventually be under the control of the coastal states. in the year two thousand and that's the latest set of figures that we have the international seabed authority which is based in jamaica they came up with an estimate as they saw that governments were starting to work through this more recent component for a lot of the sea for the extended continental shelf they have a figure just just below twelve thousand us trillion dollars is the in-situ estimate of seabed resources in the expanded continental shelves. estimates about the quantity of natural resources buried in the seabed are highly speculative but if the figure of twelve thousand trillion u.s. dollars is right it would be enough to every person on earth a check for one and

a half million dollars. for this is one of the country's leading the charge to claim a piece of the pie like current nothing has a leg up over many other states colonial past. worries so. please leave. blues if you will be in a realm of more. say are hopefully she will do or do. not want to feel at least one of. the. all. a lot. of. things to its colonial past france administers islands in almost every ocean of the

world now it stands to gain substantial maritime territory in which. currently france has eleven claims pending at the continental shelf the commission . says it is until. it is. more. than regulated and not put in says is. different. the army does he did was this is such a young. france has claimed territories amounting to some twelve million square kilometers around twenty times the size of continental farms if the claims are. it will become the

world's second largest maritime nation its sovereign wide stretching over an area of the ocean almost as large as the entire arctic less yarl's also. bar a little mall they can only limo and bulldog. bus a good. leader of our political. idiot just remember bill maher now because i do security doing it don't drive or. duplicate. the predict not.

which is going to switch don't. really. know that you're. not that or last disease do put in is. dig off or send decision. that stood up at an os that there's the down to the point. of the want you shall see the. call for seventy. something for. the sort of grew to want their machine are better may i mean. don't walk do some unity shut it is a. different base up or shut.

up boarding is a false or. false is not best. serve sets up a. pretty. islands were present a crucial trump card in the battle to control the world's oceans it's all about geometry because islands are surrounded by water there's software interest expense around them in a circle even if an island were just a small walk its merits or inside would be larger than germany. if a group of islands forms and i'll keep a common baseline around the entire cluster violence is used to calculate the

maritime territory. this man is japan's hope in the race to claim the won't oceans he cracks the genetic code of a life form the could help japan that several hundred thousand square kilometers to its territory make a ami is a geoscientist in the university of tokyo he specializes in coal organisms that display characteristics of both animals and plants. all. is forgiven thought that it up and causal steps that we all are. yet kayani has delved further into their biology into the secret of their reproduction and found a method for breed. doing them on a large scale. osses on the three of them all. at the bottom of it it's akin

to get out of the often this is echoed argument about thought there were numerous. mass produced coals sixty thousand tiny coal babies are being artificially poor at a farm on a small island off the coast of okinawa but for wont hurt has. kinda trollish him a is located seventeen hundred kilometers south of tokyo it is a small cold matter during high tide he clears the surface by a mere centimeters japan regards it as an island but the existence of a q notorious under oath right. all six join it and i see him in ga and he just

said. that they are the mascot of them all is one of but we're not a small civil system out there so you kenya this. japan has decided that kinda true for you must know the foundation its maritime area which presents a massive territorial expansion bringing with it so when whites over fish and other natural resources. the ornament sickie. them. there. and so you begin to hide that. nothing's. in. all. this. territory. if the. coals being

used to save the thousands of tons have been shipped to. preserve the we've been making those launches possible a pilot project on an island taiwan is studying what might one day look like things to. soon. could become. like the pilot project. which consists entirely of cars. being welcomed by everyone whether it's demerits on claims of tensions with his powerful neighbor china. in phone. disputes with a whole array of countries. as states attempts to extend their maritime zones us far as possible many international conflicts have a. choir.

in the south china sea eight countries are fighting in full value to one hundred billion dollars. there is no part of the world that is safer than others in other words with fifty three percent of all maritime boundaries within the ease that on resolved we're seeing conflicts raising up to. driven predominantly by resource development for the off shore typically will end up having a coastal frontage area that looks like this and let's say that we have a land boundary we're country a is sitting here and country b. is sitting here back in the seventy's when we were moving from oil and gas exploration on. in land to the marine area they may have negotiated a provisional boundary that sort of allowed them for country a to issue offshore

oil and gas blocks and country b. and let's say in a so in a more recent scenario an extremely large discovery is made and let's say the neighboring country country b. then all of a sudden size we'd like to have some of that so they are starting to propose new boundaries as this initial line was not even a modern day accepted boundary line. have become contestants territories the won't move everyone wants a piece of the design new boundaries of being tooling for dividing up the switches powerful industries only move in the deep sea no one can predict the consequences of this industrialization of the world's pollution is. there the consequence is a whiff aleutian that began years ago and has mostly gone on noticed the ocean is

being defined you don't like and. you also have to realize that the oceans are future so we need to have some way of. deciding who is responsible for walk and where and when. and so. at this point in time this is maybe not the ideal solution but this is the solution that was created with the convention. the world's oceans following on its continents below what a cohesive ecological system a sensitive continues in which what happens to one area can affect the office. it is now up to the loans nations whether they want to take responsibility of a new unity a quiet maritime territories. or

. how the snow has stopped now in the us there is more to come through counters sweeping in this general direction and not much else going on in most of the central and eastern states as you can see so we said goodbye to the snow and a lot of people to clear it up and then look the pacific side back one front often has come again through california reaching as far in as colorado useful snow this but the rain is making it quite miserable all the way down the pacific coast highway for example san francisco looks are having a miserable day particularly also this day fourteen degrees you may not see the

sunshine at all you would enjoy the right i suppose if you like that sort of thing as for winter further east where it's getting colder again in minneapolis and toronto but look at chicago yes it's cold enough to snow but only just and small snow on its way through the appalachians and north are ohio. valley and that's where all the action is frankly this is just raw suppose between to fine weather really passing light showers catching the coast of honduras and nicaragua and occasionally haiti or dominican republic the heavy rain of late has been falling in northern argentina as go day off and it won't last or if it is coming back the picture on thursday is a fairly wet one and it may come as far south as weather service. sure. and inspiration.
