mix st kilda the archipelago increase the british crowns claim by 160000 square kilometers st kilda has been deserted ever since its $36.00 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. do you mean by owning a piece of the ocean. the idea of the ocean has changed over time. world moves from the pros to show how goods and their kotoko has one source of the world and what they flew to an ocean is very much sure what was important to them and also.

before 1492 before columbus is journey to the americas the ocean as a broad portion of the world 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 were projection screens for the imagination and unexplored and irrepressible loved my. area

a place of terror. despite its dangers the ocean became more and more important over the centuries. as global trade developed merchant fleet is transformed the oceans into vast shipping lanes people from past centuries would never have dreamed of laying claim to the ocean for them it was a blue expanse formed with dangers an obstacle that needed to be overcome a sailor's journey to foreign lands. and of course the 2 dimensional ben is ironic because the ocean is so material a 3 dimensional you know we you step into the ocean you sink. yet in the 19th and 20th centuries something happened that changed our idea of the ocean for ever the seabed became a place of exploration in 858 as the transatlantic cape was being late

engineers noticed variation in the oceans could this be evidence of undersea mountains the 1st scientific study of the ocean floor was undertaken by the german survey vessel meteor in 1925 scientists today likened the expedition to columbus's 1st 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 we've 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 1st and foremost a land mass a vast expanse that belongs to no one but that could perhaps be seen just. this man had a groundbreaking idea. the president of the united states harry l. 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 found in the gulf of mexico but the oil lay beyond the 3 miles island in which coastal states could exercise their song rights

truman wanted more he wanted new term a story for the night it states the superpower needed more more oil drilling oil reserves on the mainland no longer sufficed. our dependence on these minerals and raw materials is so fresh and our supply so uncertain that we are moving as rapidly as we can and by every means that ingenuity and divide to expand facilities to step up production find new sources develop substitutes and bring in increased supply from foreign sources. after to 2nd world war in $1045.00 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 the will but also the right to incorporate undersea territory truman used an argument that built on a recent discovery 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. andy an idea of the geological continental shelf is the basis which the u.s. saw as. a legal basis as well they had to finally end the bases that they found most convincing most of course science.

but. i didn't get c.n.n. not so cursed by ever what you think was there should be yeah let's entry 15 years for the christening years. and the 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 more convincing because the historical events the book just to my eyes this theory which by far into history possibly far. entire do if keep this. time and true jumps.

over the korean talent left by medion me mom. will freak your cat is a geophysicist at the alfred baker 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 funk was indeed carnegie lookee in differ on fonz i. was just a comment i much as some. pianist. in record scientists today believe there was once a supercontinent that at some point began to drift apart in the early 20th century this idea seemed completely preposterous. this being water sanitary. vs just. spin up could turn. out

a democrat kind of supervise and. this is since on the supercontinent on the admissions of nothing we only outs work invalid us africa the american doctors and indian. muslim the fungus. and disease to cure the present. indian it's here. to cause us as the con invite not. back these are by here that's where the quote entire. went on here has only climate delegates has a. disease so where does the up or kunder that get deemed. good for me on this have to be done article sausan of the feel of. you know grasp of. 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 part of it territory. the 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 by can share. finance remind us as if we were few not part of. africa to acquire a particular made up artist dozens i didn't want importing context look at a picture of us learned. 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 undersea geology every country is granted a continental shelf extending 200 nautical miles out to sea its exclusive economic zone. so these did they be of these 200 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 a clueless with momentous consequences was quietly appended to the law of the sea convention the clause in question is article 76 it says that the state can lay

claim to his geological continental shelf in addition to his legal continental shelf provided in the state can supply data demonstrating the shelves outer limits within 10 years. the time limit triggered a veritable wound on the world's oceans and the largest land allocation in world history. for the 1st time in the history of humanity a land grab occurred based not only more on. traditional forms of cholera 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 oh 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 $76.00 of the convention actually works and it's all about natural. laws so we have. actually the land continues under water or something like this everything is decided by the point where the continental gradient off at the foot of the continental slope this spot is used to calculate the show outer limits the state can choose between 2 formulas it can extend its borders 60 nautical miles or 100 kilometers from this point see woods tran be more advantages however to use the sediment thickness will because the

settlements on the mainland the state has a territorial claim to this part of the seabed the thicker the layer of sediment the better according to the think list 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 told the chests understand geological data only thing. determined to follow the state so when winds extend over the election tents the commission of banks to respond to deal with the global community recognizes the states and the suffering bullet has evolved on. this wide thousands wide make believe the. zune or a. commission on zip limits of the pond. as posey dba records is out

it is as is g.'s e institute bob keep the enjoyment just head busy should feel if we had be truly involved. but. call him names helped build this commission yes now he is among the fiercest critics. g. home in your. paper. clips are spot on. it's bad one for. that hour i mocked our dinner tonight in present. the 21 geologist of the continental shelf commission was building d.c.

to the united nations plaza filming it is for me the. members may speak to the public in spite of precisely because of the fact that their decisions can change maritime nations. easily. i am confidentiality the. best i have seen the. hotness. i joe busy ron have you noticed that joe day it down the dat be nice on why this i was and i'm kinda does yeah i play of confidence anybody find i know it's crazy but does ice she tries to you know house. our war on terror begins with an account but it does not in there no terrorist

king and 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 he worked at the for mayor in france and i'm a member of the u.n. commission on the limits of the continental shelf. well the 1st thing i should say is that you know the work of the commission yes it's true it's quite. 3 that very confidential fashion and the main reason behind that from the beginning of this 2 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 francis so and those data they have to be treated with a very high level of confidentiality there were powerful interests behind the state's petitions seabed data have enormous economic significance this information contains important clues for where natural resources might be located ready 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 2. for geologists in the

commission to have the job of evaluating 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. 5 nations that border the arctic ocean are in a bid to extend their software in why it's in the direction of the north pole denmark canada us norway and russia each wants as much territory as possible the area is best. managing to contain 10 percent of the wolves oil was. due to fire who. me and sushi. if.

for. us we're doing is is hince has put down. russians. that. russia understood to take advantage of the new. in 2002 he was one of the 1st countries to submit a claim to the continental shelf commission the russians asserted lawyers to no less than the entire essential arctic an area of 1500000 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 after they

reject it. as. is and is a country and. this is. the face. or d.l.c. este. ron. i'm a fresh one of. the. missions. in the race to control the world's oceans data east katie if a claim nations can have just collect more information this effectively allows countries to circumvent the commission's 10 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 marathon boundaries. and or 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 refines to data to the continental shelf commission but canada and denmark want to know home to. how can other countries with the same scientific arguments claim the same territory . is an ocean and water is a continent it is a question of a speck to the commission evaluates the scientific data and makes

a decision either for or against a state's claim once the claim is approved it is binding and cannot be with 1st. i don't know i mean we have no. if we replace all members of the commission hypothetically we have 21 new members and we would give them the same case it would be get the same result of i can be quite certain we will not get exactly the same result so i i don't believe that the commission can be a 100 percent right because 100 percent right does not exist in natural sciences we're talking about in the preaching based all relatively sparse data. the commission is a clip of experts selected by the channel the same the united nations the 21 members on the commission 19 come from countries that other cite for territorial expansion to national interests plane decisions of its members what is

certain is that their recommendations in contested. and he faced lancer yorn i have tried to point on our part this is the work that charm in every age i did my. country for the acquittal yet i'm glad of a promise your. nobody. wiking some well there were 2 candidates to make. and all i can say is that john mccain won so we ended up in kingston. michael loved

puts the international seabed to. say it is a type of executive council of the ocean floor they supervise one of the states on able to get their hands on with continental shelf claims the i.s.a.'s official 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 1st 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 14 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 as 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. all of the ocean covers over 360000000 square kilometers almost 3

quarters of the earth's surface. over 40 percent of this area has been assigned to legal continental shelves. claims on expanded geological continental shelves make up another 10 percent of the ocean. it is now projected that around 57 percent of the oceans will eventually be under the control of coastal states. in the year 2000 and that's the latest set of figures that we have the international seabed afore. the 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 law of the sea for the extended continental shelf they have a figure just just below $12000.00 us trillion dollars is the in-situ estimate of seabed resources in the expanded continental shelf.

estimates about the quantity of natural resources buried in the seabed are highly speculative but if the figure of $12000.00 trillion us dollars is right it would be enough to if we person on earth a check for one and a half $1000000.00. for this is one of the country's leading the charge to claim a piece of the pie but like current nothing has a leg over many other states at colonial past. please leave. blues. in the realm of don't you like say. a flea she. do. not want to feel at least one of.

the on the dosage it was this is such a fine. france has claimed territories amounting to some 12000000 square kilometers around 20 times the size of continental farms if claims. it will become the world's 2nd largest maritime nation its sovereign wide stretching over an area of the ocean almost as large as the entire arctic less yachts also. bar a little him all this limo and bulldog. bus a good. plot to want you know. it could just remodel a bit more now because they do security doing it don't you know. deployed to control some of the predict not pass up class.

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. of 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 world over everyone wants a piece of the design new boundaries of being too long for to fighting no piece

which is powerful industries only move in the deep sea no one can predict the consequences of this industrialized nation of the wilds pollutions. they are the consequences of a whiff aleutian that began years ago and has mostly gone on noticed the ocean is being defined you don't like the land. 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 this rouge and that was created with the convention. the world's oceans foam more than its continents bill with a cohesive ecological system a sensitive continuum in which wants happens to one area can affect the

talking temperatures well below average across much of that area now they're still a little chilly we're talking asensio at 17 degrees but they are going to be going up as we go through the rest of the weekend so 78 here on saturday going up to about 20 degrees as we go towards sunday and plenty of sun across much of the area now we do have a frontal boundary that's making its way towards rio and that could bring some showers as it passes through we think on sunday night and pushing through on monday getting a little bit chilly or as we go towards monday as well well over here towards parts of utah we did see some very heavy rain as you can see here on the satellite image and this is what to look like here across parts of birdseye utah where they saw widespread flooding and flash flooding going on across much of the community now didn't cause any problems in terms of or injuries but of course we did see a lot of damage in terms of the homes and the businesses there now the other big story is what's going to be happening here in california notice the red right here across the central part of california we do have heat advisories in place 10000000

a handful of officers to blame for the raid on a protest camp in june that killed dozens of people. more tear gas and clashes on the streets of hong kong but protesters. defy the bad on their march. to farewell to. see their 1st democratically elected president after his death on thursday and we're in ivory coast with a banking on cola nuts to become the new cash crop. in sports history could be made at the tour de france later with its 1st ever colombian winner plus the good the bad and the ugly side of a letter kerry sparker diego costa. largely would rather take. the blame for a brutal crackdown on protesters and saddam early last month is being laid on the

actions of a few offices the head of a committee has unveiled the long delayed findings of its investigation into the raid by security forces on the city and outside the army headquarters and he says rogue officers violated orders by telling other security forces to fire on demonstrators it was the worst outbreak of violence and the rest which followed the military's removal of long time ruler on the shade saddam's opposition says more than 100 people were killed the hunter is disputing that number. well here is some of what the head of the investigative committee had to say about their findings. and i mean one of the brigadier's was warned that he's not responsible for the operation and yet he disobeyed orders and led the rapid support forces into the sitting area and handed down orders for them to get out of their armored vehicles and force the protesters out it's also established that the riot forces led by one

of the colonels he alone with his forces moved into the sitting area and some personnel started battling protesters firing indiscriminately. has gone out holocaust fondant have a home and she is live for us and out of the capital of neighboring ethiopia none mention entrusting the habit of the military general who is widely thought to be responsible for that attack on june 3rd talk us through what is in this report. oh yes indeed elizabeth what the rooms of the court says is that there are a handful of army officers who are responsible for the attack now this is something that is not going down the protests and there's already reaction on the streets to the teaching as well as reactions online saying that this was not an independent and fair investigation and that there was a result in the finding of this is that i'm told by the and so she military council we already know that the report has been delayed several times expected to be released more than 2 weeks ago but it has been delayed and now they're saying that

it's absolute offices the protesters who have been documented on the state of the attacks in videos that they will more than 100 off this will happen some of them in plain clothes some of them going to close up their grassroots support forces or just one pro by the deputy head of the t.m.c. say they're demanding a fair and independent investigation of the sudanese congress party one of the opposition parties and parts of the polish ministry forces for freedom and changed as a radio released a statement to this ride the findings this not surprising not because and that it was not disappointing not because it was fair but because it is on this party its aims to be worried of truth as are their statements so we are already getting reaction to people saying that this is not a fair investigation it does not prove it will be that is behind it and that they want free and fair and independent investigation to be held once again have a can we expect that free and independent investigation how likely is that. oh

well that largely depends on the forces of freedom and change the opposite she polish and they're expected to meet the transition but it's really council later this evening and to resume talks about forming a transitional government and one of their major demands elizabeth was independent investigation and accountability for those who are responsible behind the attack on the 6 and as well as circlets accident happened in the days leading to the to that attack so they're demanding accountability but it's largest and an investigation largely depends on how much pressure they put on the answer sheet it's recounts they're now focused on trying to come up with the final constitution to provision the document that would outline and the roles of the various up bodies during the transition from transitional government so if it looks on the actual military council and if it international ready i mean it's like the african union and if it can be pressure on the council. another and the investigation will be held at the moment it looks like that and certainly it's request just wanting the country is

happy with the results or has actually very much for that have a moment with the latest live and address thank you. we're going to move on to other news now in protest as a lot to mr hand off the police in hong kong after refusing to leave the streets only ever riot police used tear gas and pepper spray to try and disperse the crowds thousands defied a police ban which tried to stop the rally and you are not on the outskirts of hong kong activists say the town's police colluded with alleged gang members who attacked and severely injured protest is last sunday let's go to our correspondent sara clock she is live for us there what is happening there sara our police pushing the protesters out of you a long. time to 9 pm here on saturday in hong kong and while a number of protesters have already gone home there's still hundreds on the streets behind me we have a tense stand off between the place the right place as well as other. place and

a pro-democracy organization he is near the protests mr wong it's good to have you with us on our dizzier i want to start with what we've been seeing today which is of course in response to what happened last week are you worried about the presence of the you know some 100 people who came out and attacked protesters last week which is why we're seeing the protests continue in that same area today on saturday and what that might mean for what's been largely 7 weeks of largely peaceful protests in hong kong. and we. just heard and works best there really 7. $100000.00 people do this again and we're going to respond to go towards people. well what happened last week at the broadway stage and. the safety around the world. and more but we still continue to fight for

freedom and if we take a step back it has been 7 weeks of protest the government says it's killed the extradition burn which sparked them so right now what are the other changes that protestors are continuing to call for in misleading narrative was provided by caroline since the. excess on the legislate good program to yet is just that narrative that we purchased government in the short term was short and terminated the bill and in the long run it is time for home people to have free election the bill is not that gets abused still exists and we call it in you i was struck however got from the police just cooperate with beijing gangster that is the reason for both you angry and have protests yes they all call airports 2 a day at noon tomorrow central hong kong protests every week and and when you say

the un's human rights chief michelle bachelet condemned what she calls the world's indifference to the rising death toll in the rebel held province well the 100 civilians have been killed in the past 10 days by syrian government and russian airstrikes among them a several children. well the wider issue of child casualties and the world's conflict science is the subject of a new report the united nations al-jazeera has obtained a copy says that last year the coalition and yemen killed or injured 729 children and israel the report's authors blame the government for the deaths of 59 children and the wounding of nearly 2700 that's the highest numbers and for years and syria airstrikes barrel bombs and cluster munitions killed or injured more than 800 children while i'm gonna stan had the most child casualties for another year but more than 3000 on diplomatic editor james bays has more from the united nations

this report comes out every year it makes very grim reading it's from the secretary general of the un to the security council it's not yet been published but al-jazeera has obtained a copy of the report ready in recent years it's become a political hot potato with 2 countries not wanting to get mentioned in this report and that's israel and saudi arabia it's pretty clear to me from reading this report that there's been political pressure again because inside the report says that israel's responsible for the highest number of deaths of palestinian children 59 in 2800 for 5 years and yet at the end of the report the mix which lists the countries and groups responsible for killing children israel is not mentioned saudi arabia does get a mention on the list but on the part of the list here of listed parties that have put in play.
