it turns 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 opening a piece of the ocean. the idea of the ocean has changed over time. the most from the pros to show how goods in their car talk of his mum saw the world and what they threw to an ocean is very much sure what was important to them and most of. the 41492 before columbus's journey to the americas the ocean as a broad portion of the world's surface 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 unexplored and irrepressible loves a mighty barrier the place of terror. despite its dangers the ocean became more and more important over the so. injuries. as

global trade developed merchant fleet strengths formed 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. of course the 2 dimensional that 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 meteo in 1925 scientists today like can be 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 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 else truman a man who was imploring war reaching out 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 the 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 urgently 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 can devise to expand facilities to step up production find new sources develop substitutes and bring in increased applies 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 to the american president to 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. andy an idea of the geological continental shelf is the basis which the u.s. saw as. the legal basis is well they had to find a link and the bases that they found most convincing most of course science. but the.

other big at c.n.n. not. by ever there should be. 15 year olds like this name yes. we did our business in the us we are by. the argument that the continent continues on made up the core of truman's justification this was the more convincing because the historical events the legitimized this theory which by far into history. simply far. too if keep this. time in. terms. of the korean talent left by medion minimum. will fit your cat is a geophysicist at the alfred baker institute in play my husband alfred vega noticed

the coastlines of north and south america seems to fit together with those of us and africa like pieces of a puzzle. indeed carnegie lookee in the floor on fall on one of the dolls does the comment i'm on to some. pianist. in the 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 it. could turn. out a democrat kind of supervise and. 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 the fungus. and does this to cure the present. indian see it's here. to cost us a con invite not. that. these are but i hear that's where the quote entire. went on the only planet delegate's has as a. were these are up or kinder. deemed. to form yet on this have to be done not evil sausan of the feel of whom. you know gospel. they did 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 shares finance in mind us as we both feel not limit our plight. africa. particularly made up artist doesn't. want importing context picturesquely and. to balance out all 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 around to see its exclusive

economic zone. so these did the idea 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 of those are it's not just the us and it 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 power but rather on geological findings. the scientists have a special role in the k. 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 nobody does from every day observation.

so i would like to explain now how actually article $76.00 of the conventional actually works and it's all about natural. laws so we have a lot actually the lab continues underwater something like this everything is decided by the point where the continental gradient drops off at the foot of the continental slope this spot is used to calculate the shelves outer limits the state can choose between 2 formulas it can extend its borders 60 nautical miles or 100 kilometers from this point seawards tran be more advantageously however to use the sediment thickness or 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 thickness of all 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 only chests understand geological data only thing can determine how far a state sovereign rights extend over the ocean hence a commission of x. that was found in new york where the global community recognizes the stakes and has so far in borders iraq one knows. 0 non-si beside thousands why make believe the. zune or a. commission on zit limits of the continental shelf as pows idiotic and zap it is as is g.'s e instead to join you bob heaped then join sed head busy sure feel if we

had each really involved. would be of. call him help to this commission yes now he is among its fiercest critics. home in the publish your. paper. clips are spot. it's bad. that our mocked are not in president. of the $21.00 geologist of the continental shelf commission would see to the united nations process of filming and is full. of 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. hydrant. oh joe because you've run every loach that joe on day it dan the dad even meets. this studios and i'm kinda does i. break of contingency farfan the night but does i just sheesh wisely you know how those. al-jazeera exposes controversial allegations about the bahraini government. written by they told me you're a member of al qaeda you can stop the plans of the shia. and its coalition with al

qaida to conspire against and assassinate key opposition figures 20 left. playing with fire on al jazeera until now the coverage of latin america and most of the world was about covering khuda taz tragedies as quakes and that was it but not sure how couple feel how they look how they think and that's what we do we go anyway 5 and a half months are demanding an end to an educational system that was introduced to . latin america al-jazeera has come to fill a void that needed to be filled. take the worst possible material you have a deal grounded into dust comparable to flour and make a reliable and put it into a place where people live think is a cause something bad. as well and so many people here.

but does it make you feel like you feel like a murderer we have created an enormous amount of mental disaster. and investigation south africa toxic city on al-jazeera. your child is there with me so wrong never mind of all top stories. i. was. at least 3 people being killed in a shooting at a food festival in gilroy california the police chief says police were on the scene within minutes where they also shot the suspect dead at least 15 people were wounded in the shooting things is still searching for a 2nd suspect. my officers were in that area

meaning age the suspect in less than a minute. the suspect was shot by the until we have at least 15 people injured. we have 4 fatalities that we know of including the suspect rob reynolds wolf in los angeles. the police chief said that the gunman appears to have cut through a perimeter fence surrounding the area in order to gain access he said there was security and metal detectors at the festival but that the gunman appeared to have used up to shift means to get in the. health authorities say that of the people who were taken to hospital in the surrounding area and san jose and other parts of the san francisco bay area 3 of

them have been treated and released. at least 65 people are being killed in nigeria and a suspected boko haram attack on a funeral it happened near the northeastern city of made a gury in borno state president muhammadu buhari has condemned the attack and ordered a military operation to hunt down those responsible. protests in hong kong have ended violently with tear gas fired demonstrators for a 2nd day tens of thousands protested the perceived police and mob violence as well as interference from beijing. and the death toll after a powerful explosion in the afghan capital has risen to 20 another 50 people including the president's running mate in the upcoming election were injured the afghan interior ministry says the attackers were targeting a seller's office in the busy part of kabul those are the headlines you can follow the stories of course on our website at al-jazeera dot com more news in half an hour next its ocean's monopoly.

before that the commission of ex-pats was founded in new york where the global community recognizes states and their suffering borders as posed you got there and zara is s d z institute's your new biography ped. for the 1st 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 in fromm's. personally i always felt that we could do an effort to actually be more transparent

and to communicate more. absurd. 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 1st thing i should say is that they're not the work of the commission yes it's true it's quite. 3 that in a very confidential fashion and the main reason behind that from the beginning while the 2 reasons one is that we're dealing with software 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 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 trying to tell us norway and russia each wants as much territories possible the area is best. managed to contain 10 percent of the wolves oil was. due to fire who. had sushi. if. for. us we're doing is he's

hince has put down. actions. that. understood how 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 to no less than the entire essential arctic an area of $1500000.00 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 to their claims even after they rejected . as i did. in this country and. this is i prefer 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 is what nations can have with searches collect 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. 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 to see 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. 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 if the for or against a state's claim once a 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 we 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 the other side of the territorial expansion to national interests playing. its members what is certain is that their recommendations contested.

as israel and the fence lines of the commish yourn have tried to control our part this is actually worked as our in every age i did my . try and then i can for the acquittal yet i'm glad it's over the problem is your. nobody. wiking son well there were 2 candidates. from malta. and all i can say is that john mccain wants so we end up in kingston. michael loved ones for the international seabed to. say it is a type of executive council for 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 or 40 years the top 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. the ocean compass ever 360000000 square kilometers. of the earth's surface. over 40 percent of this area has been assigned to deal 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 the coastal states. in the year 2000 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 $12000.00 us trillion dollars is the in-situ estimate of seabed resources in the extended continental shelves. estimates about the quantity of natural resources buried in the seabed are highly speculative but if the figure of $12000.00 trillion u.s.

dollars is right it would be enough to every 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 like current nothing has a leg up over many other states a colonial past. please leave. blues. in a realm of more. say are they flee she. do or do. not want to feel at least one of. the. lot.

of the thanks 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 11 claims pending the continental shelf commission. says it is until. it is. says is. definitely. there.

france has claimed territories amounting to some 12000000 square kilometers around 20 times the size of continental farms if the claims are. 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. boss a good. leader of our political. idiot could do just remodel a bit more now because i do security doing it don't drive or. duplicate. that predict not pass up class.

which is going to switch don't. they maltais clearly. that you're. not that or last disease do put in his shell see day go off or send decision tio. that stood up at an os that there's the down to the point. that up on the shelves you. foresee any. something for. the sort of grew to want their machine are better may i mean. don't walk away she's got to do some unity bus will shut either

the boat different base support for sunni shock even. when a boarding is you also when you see forces not best. served up or didn't see 4 sets up off. the grid. i learned so when presented 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 into a drawing extends around them in a circle even if an island were just a small block it's maraton so it would be larger than germany.

if a group of islands forms and i'll keep a common base line 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 i'd say 400000 square kilometers to its territory . is a geo scientists in the university of tokyo he specializes in cold. isms that display characteristics of both animals and plants. going to the mall all of them up and it's ok with the debt equity got up and causal steps that we all are. yet kayani has delved further into their biology and into the secret of their reproduction and found a method for breeding them on

extend their maritime zones as far as possible many international conflicts have arisen. require. in the south china sea 8 countries to fight in full liz says value to $100000000000.00 as. there is no part of the world that is safer than others in other words with 53 percent of all time boundaries within the ease that. 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. of sitting here back in the seventy's when we were moving from oil and gas

exploration on land to the marine area they may have negotiated the 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 well. everyone wants a piece of the sign new boundaries of being in tulum for to find peace which is powerful industries only move in the deep sea no one can predict the consequences of this industrialization of the wilds pollutions. they are the

consequences of a whiff aleutian that began years ago and has mostly gone unnoticed 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 this rouge and that was created with the convention. the world's oceans foam more than its continents bill would a cohesive ecological system a sensitive continuum in which what happens to one area can affect all the others. it is now up to the loans nations whether they would take responsibility for their new area quiet maritime territories.

a regime that has something to hide they have here a significant profit. and guess what not one w m d shite was found in iraq since 1991 iraq a deadly deception on al-jazeera. nigeria's army is ordered to hunt down gunman who killed at least 65 people at a funeral. and how he did this is al jazeera fly from doha. a shooting at a us food festival weaves 3 people dead police say

a suspect has also been killed. china's government set to make rare public comments about weeks of often violent protests in hong kong. and peace gradually returns to iraq we'll look at efforts to revive its creaking oil industry. but 1st nigeria's army has been ordered to hunt down gunmen who killed at least $65.00 people in the northeastern borno region the victims had been attending a funeral but there's been no claim of responsibility that boko haram runs a rival armed group regularly carry out attacks in this part of the country priyanka gupta reports. these shad remains are what's left of what once was someone's home this village in northeast nigeria is now the scene of the

worst attack on civilians in the region this yeah the gunmen attacked mourners gathered for a funeral on saturday in the battle that took them to the images that you didn't. one day it will be manageable. but. then they went up to the city. the villages have gathered again this time to remember the staggering number of lives lost in just one day. arjun said his sympathise with the palm of his. not of those. killed is lost no one has claimed responsibility for the attack but the armed group is suspected to be behind saturday's carnage local government officials say arm villages 40 of

a boko haram ambush 2 weeks ago 11 fighters were killed. president mahmoud abbas hari has ordered the air force and army to hunt down the attackers borno state is the epicenter of the armed rebellion by boko haram tens of thousands of people have been killed millions have been displaced off to 10 years of violence boko haram has been largely driven out of the areas they once held. but the attacks continue and this time. even funerals have not been spread. al-jazeera. ready destroys us from kids in a in northwestern nigeria the military has been ordered sea hunt down the perpetrators but do we know yet he was responsible for this attack. well basically the attacks bear the hallmarks of boko haram the signature of boko haram

and of course a lot of people think it's the schickel faction of boko haram and this is because largely the. isolette really ated when your book. is actually. targeting mainly security forces and government officials in the region and from time to time we saw them kidnapping people for ransom however the shake off action does not discriminate among civilians the military government officials everybody is in the crosshairs so a lot of people believe that if the shekel fraction of book or on that carried out this attack but it could also be the ice of action as we know busy right now there is no control mission or there is no claim of responsibility from any of these factions and yet the mahmoud zahar he. present he was elected on a promise to improve security. the armed forces to go after the perpetrators of

this attack that is a strategy working. well to a large extent the security forces will tell you that yes the strategy is working but for many nigerians it's a long drawn war 10 years now in the making and there is no end in sight from time to go you can say has largely lost which territory he was holding prior to body got elected in 2015 but they still remain a very dangerous organization a very potent force like the incident we we we're just talking about on such a day they target vulnerable communities people in their sleep people gathering marriages people attending funerals and all that so. a lot of people defeating this what that pronouncement by the nigerian government defeated book or

on means the british no single attack and that is not what they see at the moment and hopefully the security forces will step up their operations although we can say over the past one or 2 months we've seen an upscale activity on the part of the nigerian military are along with other regional forces in dealing with boko haram we saw them knowing several attacks especially around the lake chad region where affiliated weisel has largely been operating over the past few years ok thanks very much for bringing us the very latest there i want to just joining us from northwestern. now a gunman has been shot dead by police after he killed 3 people at a food festival in the u.s. state of california. this. happens in the city of gilroy sank in san francisco another 15 people are injured police say they are still looking for potential 2nd suspect and they. were

in that area in the suspect in less than a minute. this suspect. we have at least 15 people injured. we have for that we know of. the suspect the 1st time i thought it was fireworks and the 2nd time someone. and i saw my peers go down and we all started running and we were pretty we heard it i just didn't recognize the 1st round. we were getting closer. so i just started running i left everything i ran. i couldn't run any more and i thought he's coming behind me and i'm going to get hit because i can run any more. the chief of police in

gilroy california has confirmed that 15 people were wounded in the shooting at the gilroy garlic festival 4 people including the suspect and shooter have been killed the police chief said that police officers from the gilroy police force shot and killed the suspect within minutes after the gunfire broke out now the gilroy garlic festival is a popular event in a small rural community south of san francisco there were hundreds if not thousands of people there attending the final day of the festival which has been held in each of the last 40 years many of them families with children attending this festival the police chief said that the gunman appears to have cut through a perimeter fence surrounding the area in order to gain access he said there was security and metal detectors at the festival but that the gunman appeared to have
