of commodities sent from heaven on al-jazeera. in the in the old. fully back to bill in doha with main stories on al-jazeera the trump administration is promising up to a trillion dollars to help the u.s. economy whether the coronavirus been dead make the proposal includes giving money to individual citizens the number of u.s. cases of the virus has risen to nearly 6000 and the death toll has reached 100 a white house correspondent kimberly hockett has more. as ordinary americans cope with the economic impacts of coronavirus the white house announced it was pushing congress to make a media cash payments to struggling americans what we've heard from hardworking americans many companies have now shut down whether it's bars or restaurants american state cash now and the president wants to get cash now and i mean now in

the next few weeks congress has already put forward a bill to provide sickly as well as food assistance to children and the elderly it still needs to pass the republican controlled senate before us president donald trump can sign it into law. but the new proposed payments which also need to be approved by congress would be part of a package worth more than a trillion dollars. clude help for the airline and other industries hit hard by the slowdown in business this is worse than 911 that for the airline industry we're going big with this invisible enemy we don't want airlines going out of business we don't want people losing their jobs the hotel industry has also been hard hit tuesday mariya the world's largest hotel company started furloughing thousands of employees as their hotels see fewer customers but it's not just the economy that

has the white house worried it says public health remains a priority on standby in new york the army corps of engineers to increase hospital capacity in response to the pandemic new york remains one of the states with a high cluster of coronavirus cases my hunch is it would probably be quicker if it's done at the state or local level but if we can do it quicker we should we were prepared to do that but i think at this point the key is speed still there are signs it will be weeks if not months before life returns to normal beloved events like the kentucky derby horse race now delayed until september. and in an election year the ohio presidential nominating contest was also called off the american red cross on tuesday also put out a call for blood donations the core virus task force here at the white house says the next 2 weeks will be critical for containing the virus that's why it's urging

for millenia the oceans lay outside the dominion of. his state's influence extended only 3 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 welty story began.

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. with him when i lived on rockaway 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 40 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.

hall mclean is one of the u.k.'s greatest adventure has he crossed the atlantic. 5 times the 1st time in a globe and once in a vessel shaped like a beer bottle for his latest trip he sailed from newfoundland children in the smallest sailboat ever to cross the atlantic. and. soon mclean will travel to new york in a boat built to resemble a whale. but it was more than an adventure however. it was a mission a mission done in service to mother england. somebody said about st kilda and they go in there but so the rock or rock was right there in the middle of the atlantic and there seems to be a dispute who owns it and i thought why if i be your 1st civilian to reside on rock all that would help the case it wasn't quite so good the wind carried their safety

line. 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 a strong work ethic the big the way down i go down there was 54 straight down into the foam flies helplessly into the sea. the landing at 1985 cost 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 that the time must remain there for 21 days old. when the boat turned to go home and leave me for

the 1st 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. gesture to remind those who may challenge it that brittania rule 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 which a oh yeah oh around local 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 further west past the rock all rock itself onto the lot. the land area of great britain and 240000 square kilometers the area that the u.k. have submitted for the rock is a 163000 square kilometers. it would be to. my main reason to go to rockall was to inhabited and if i stayed in international law less than 21 days i'm only visited i had to stay more than 21 days and by

staying there more than 21 days it in fact 40 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 crowns claim but 160000 square kilometers of 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. what do you mean by opening

a piece of the ocean. the idea of the ocean has changed over time. the most from. the plan was to show how the rules and their cult talk of his mum saw the world and what they threw into an ocean is very much sure what was important to them and most of them. before 1492 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 land mass 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 limit 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 of an unexplored an irrepressible the a mighty barrier the 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 vast shipping lanes people from past centuries would never have dreamed of laying claim to the ocean for them it was a blue expanse full with dangers and obstacles that needed to be overcome

a sailor's journey to follow in lines. and of course the 2 dimensional bit 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 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 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 suddenly 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. how he truman asserted his country's influence with nothing claiming this ocean was a territory of territory 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 terms story for being knighted 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 supplies 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 no 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 joe logic a 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 the. other big get c.n.n. not. by ever what you think was there should be there. 15 years

for the christening years. and it often is in the us we are by to get. the arguments that the continent continues under who made up the core of truman's justification this was more convincing because the historical events that legitimized this theory which by far into history. simply fall. in entire do if keep this. time in. terms. of the korean talent left by medion minimum. will feed 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 puzzle. indeed carnegie lookee in the floor on fall on one of the dark was

just a comment i'm on to 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 decided seemed completely preposterous. this being water sanitary. just it. could turn. out a democrat kind of supervise and. this is since on the supercontinent on. to nothing when only outs work and there does africa the american doctors and indian i know and most of the fungus. and disease to cure the present. indian see it's here. to cost us the con invite not.

that. these are but i hear that's where the quote entire. went on here home is the only planet delegates has as a. where does it up or can do that get deemed. on doesn't have to be done article sausan of the feel of whom was you know gasp a tour. de vere 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 chairs for finance in mind us as we both fear not limit our plight for. africa. particularly made up artist doesn't. want importing 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 undersea geology every country is granted a continental shelf extending 200 nautical miles around to see its exclusive economic zone. so these did 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 as a loser and 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 and a clueless with momentous consequences was quietly appended to the law of the sea convention the clause in question is article $76.00 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. 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 you know nobody does from every day observation. so all i would like to explain are now actually article $76.00 of the convention actually works and it's all about natural. laws so we have

a lot actually in the lab 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 states can choose between 2 formulas it can extend its borders 60 nautical miles or 100 kilometers from this point seawards tran be more advantages however to use the sediment thickness 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

knows the chests understand geological data only thing can determine how far the state so when winds extend over the ocean hence a commission of expert was found in new york with the global community recognize the stakes and pass over in borders iraq one knows. 0 non-si beside thousands why mickey. zoom or am in the commission us it limits of the gun. as pows idiotic and zap it is as is g.'s e instead to join you bob peeped then join sed head busy sure if we had each really involved. would be of. col hynds help bill to this commission yes now he is among its fiercest critics.

g. home endeavor publish your no one know that paper for a. claim are spot on. as yeah its bad when for. that hour i mocked our dinner tonight in present. the 21 geologist of the continental shelf commission would building d.c. to the united nations plaza filming it is for me the none of the members may speak to the public inspire itself precisely because of the fact that their decisions can change maritime nations. easily. i am confidentiality the. best i have seen the.

before the commission of ex-pats was founded in new york with the global community recognizes states of suffering borderless as pows who do you got their cards out is

as g.'s e institute joined bob peeped. for the 1st time in the history of humanity as a land grab a cut based not anymore on traditional forms of cause but rather on geological findings. of the experts who tipped the scales in loring's of pounds maritime territories a notoriously unforthcoming one members agreed to speak about the commission on the condition the team mate has a new he'll put in which to me in frons. form personally i always felt that we could do an effort to actually be more transparent and to communicate. so my name is walter roost and i'm reading your physicist work at it from here in

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 you know 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 this 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 francis so in those data they have to be treated with a very high level of confidentiality there were 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 'd industries and states are not inclined to share this information which can be worth billions i

think what i could say that as members of the commission i think we consider ourselves really data is katie if a claim is rejected nations can have with searches 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 wound for interpretation the name of the game is if you want to have the best answer for your maritime boundaries and or the best answer for your extended continental shelf you go out and collect the best modern day data possible to go and 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 with fines to data to the continental shelf commission but canada and denmark want to know.

how can other countries with the say. same scientific arguments claiming 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 the states claim once a claim is approved it is binding and cannot be with 1st. i don't know i mean we have know. that if we replace all members of the commission that the clean 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 group of experts selected by the journalists only knighted nations of the 21 members on the commission 19 come from countries that have other side for territorial expansion to national interests playing her in the decisions of its members what is certain is that their recommendations are no contested. as you seem to slant the face turned so good comments your. have tried on all our prime this is actually worked as our in every age i did my.

as you try and there by gunfire they have put all your lives over the problems your . nobody. wiking son well there were 2 candidates 2. from malta. and all i can say is that john mccain wants so we end 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 the trans 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 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 white 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 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. everyone wants a piece of the sinai new boundaries of being too old for to fighting no peace which is powerful industries on the 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 revolution that began years ago and just mostly going on noticed the ocean is being defined you don't like land 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 foam over the next continents bill with a cohesive ecological system a sensitive continuum in which wants happens to one area can affect the office. it is now up to the lowest nations whether they would take responsibility for their new knee a quiet maritime territories. there's
