would amend the sri lankan constitution to give the president extra pause before parliament if passed it will president rajapaksa to dissolve parliament and give him full immunity against prosecution it sets replace a bill from 2015 that strengthened the role of parliament but this reports from colombo. in the building behind me the sri lankan parliament is where it's all happening at when the justice minister. table that draft with the 1st reading he did it to howls of protest by the opposition obviously the amendment seeks to kind of close back all the sweeping powers the executive president lost in the last amendment to the constitution brought by the previous government now this is once again creates an all powerful presidency and that is an issue that many quarters have expressed concern with it talks about the removal of any monitoring any checks and balances against the executive president he's able to sack the parliament after

a year he's able to make appointments to high officers very sensitive officers the chief justice the heads of. the heads of independent commissions which was the fruit of sort of the previous government and the constitutional amendments some of these are things that are concerning a lot of people particularly the fact that with these changes the president essentially can run the whole show himself the prime minister and the cabinet become sort of bystanders he does not need to seek their approval or sanction he can go on with the business of government and this is what is creating concern in the next few hours the united nations general assembly will get on the way it will look very different this year because the coronavirus pandemic most speeches being made virtually. 2 metal been sentenced to death in pakistan over

for millenia the oceans lay outside the dominion of man. as 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 won't his story became.

a mother. i'm tom a fly and i'm in the bedroom of rodeo should the north atlantic twice i've sold it twice in small yachts and also crossed in a bottle bug in the community. who lived 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 in it's a 40 day it did the job. it kept the wind off of me i was warm and dry but don't forget i'm right at the top of the cliff it's just straight down to the city.

tom mclean is one of the u.k.'s greatest adventure as he crossed the atlantic 5 times the 1st time in a global hit once in a vessel shaped like a beer bottle for his latest trip he sailed from newfoundland trickle into 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 it. was a mission a mission done in service to mother and. somebody said oh well what about some killed and i'll simply 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 what if i be your 1st civilian to reside on rock call and that would help the case it wasn't quite so good the wind carried their safety line up are. 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 on the attic the big b. way down i go down there was 54th straight down into the foam flies helplessly into the sea. the landing at 1985 most cost told in the clean his knife. but he eventually made it to safety and flew in london. getting to the top was only the beginning however great britain we wanted to claim the lockers and i learned

but for that to happen international law stipulated that tom must remain there for $21.00 days or more 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 chiefs are making history. and those who may challenge it 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 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'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 we passed the rock all rock itself onto the plateau 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. would be to.

my main reason to go to rockall was to inhabit it 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 claimed 516-0000 square kilometers to st kilda has been deserted ever since its 36 remaining inhabitants left almost a century ago but humans live 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 owning a piece of the ocean. the idea of the ocean has changed over time. mums from the planners to show how goods and their car talk of his mum saw the world and what they flew to an ocean is very much sure what was important to them and also. before 1492 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 were projection screens for the imagination an unexplored and irrepressible the a mighty barrier 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 vast shipping lanes people

from past centuries would never have dreamed of laying claim to the ocean for them it was a blue. it's full with dangers and obstacles that needed to be overcome a sailor's journey to foreign lands. 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 africa 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 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 else truman a man whose influence or reaching of any other man on earth. how he truman asserted his country's influence with the north claiming this ocean was a territory territory under water that could be annexed just. heart 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 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 and a buck 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 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 us 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.

odds of being at sea and i'm not so cursed by ever what is it must there should be yeah let's encourage 15 year tours like this name years. in. our business 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 far. entire do if keep this. time in true terms. the korean talent to lift people 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 possible funk was indeed carnegie lookee in differ on found on one of the dark horse dusty 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 this idea seemed completely preposterous. this being water sanitary. it. could turn. out to damage that kind of supervise and. this is since on the continent on them in the atmosphere to nothing we only outwork invented as africa the american doctors and indian as i know most

of the fungus. and disease to cure the present. indian see it's here. to cause us as the con invite not. back these are but i hear that's where the quote entire. one don't hear home is the only planet delegate's has as a. were these are up or kunder that could depend. on this have to be done article sausan of the feel of. gospel. they did it this submerged land mass is really a problem the sion of your land territory you know it's who 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 by can share. finance remind us hasn't buffy apart for. africa to acquire a particular made up artist dozens i didn't want importing context record up if you just 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 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 that the state can supply data demonstrating the shelves outer limits within 10 years. the time limit triggered

a veritable one 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 cause 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 you now actually article $76.00 of the conventional actually works and it's all about natural. laws so we have. actually learned continues underwater or something like this if we thing 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 and be more advantageous however to use the sediment thickness because the settlements on the mainland the states 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 to the slope. because no one only chests understand geological data only thing. determined to follow the state so when winds extend over the initial pence a commission of banks to respond to deal with the global community recognizes the states and has so far in bullet has evolved 1. 0 non-si business wiped out by mickey. or am in the commission us it limits of the pond. as pows idiotic and zap it is as is g.'s e instead to join you bob peeped then join sed head busy sure feel if we had each really involved. but. call him names

helped build this commission yes now he is among the fiercest critics. g. home in your. paper. clip i stopped. yeah its bad when father that our mocked our dinner tonight in president. the 21 geologist of the continental shelf commission building d.c. to the united nations plaza filming it is for none of the members may speak to the public in spite of precisely because of the fact that their decisions can change maritime nations. easily.

on that confidentiality the. best i have seen the. hotness. i joke because you've run every loach that joe de it down the dat even needs on why this to us like to end their lives yeah i. wake of confidentiality pfaff on the nights great but does i just just rising you know i was. hurt. corruption it is that invisible behind a wall of silence. against corruption corruption is not something to be tolerated it. is a friggin. low country his. let's destroy this wall.

came in 2020 the free space overlord encourages the heroes who are fighting against corruption this helps our communities to save the resources that we need in order to address the burning problems that affect us all. shine a light on your anti corruption hero. nominate now. a face can tell a story without uttering a single one at the un convention manatee of life is what inspires us. witness documentaries on out is there for centuries egypt to salt to come on power over the nile even though we don't homing any of the normal place and countries that have need the oil they get there was a from nature abbas upstream this dominance is being challenged by countries who want to greater share i know some people in egypt on the question i.d.'s this

circumstances have changed and changed quite a struggle over the nile on al-jazeera. oh oh oh. hello again adrian for going to hear the headlines on al-jazeera the u.k. is government has brought in a raft of new restrictions in england in a bid to limit the spread of the coronavirus prime minister boris johnson ordered the country has reached a critical turning point in dealing with the virus the new restrictions could last for as long as 6 months the government will introduce new restrictions in england caffrey judge to achieve the maximum reduction in the our number with the minimum damage to lives and livelihoods i want to stress that this is by no means

a return to the full lockdown of march we're not issuing a general instruction to stay at home we will ensure that schools colleges and universities stay open because nothing is more important than the education health and well being of our young people we will ensure that businesses can stay open in a coded compliant way libya's national oil corporation says that it's restarting some production of exports libyan war after had imposed a blockade on oil facilities since january but announced an end to that on friday the state of the company says that there are no longer any fire fighters or foreign mercenaries in honey in the east of the country and break in the center so production can receive a draft bill that would amend the sri lankan constitution to give the president the extra powers has been put before parliament if passed would allow president rajapaksa to dissolve parliament and give him full immunity against prosecution. in

the next few hours the united nations general assembly will get on the way it will be very different this year because of the corona virus pandemic with most speeches being made virtually 2 men have been sentenced to death in pakistan over a fire that killed more than 260 people in 2012 a court ruled that the factory blaze was a case of austin not an accident the men were found to have set the fire after the factory owners refused to pay extortion money a critic of china's president xi jinping has been sentenced to 18 years in prison for corruption ranjit jang is an influential former property executive he was chairman of a state owned real estate group run it been criticized as critical rather of the government's response to the corona virus outbreak those are the headlines and i was 0 dollars gets you back to monopoly.

but. the commission of ex-pats was founded in new york where the global community recognizes states and the suffering borders as pows who do you got there and zachary is s d z institute joining bob peeped. 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 not to new york but in which city in frons. thing and personally i've always felt that we could do an effort to actually be more transparent and to communicate more. to. me. 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 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 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 'd 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. 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. managed to contain 10 percent of the wolves oil was.

due to fire who wouldn't. be edge to shoot. if. for. us we're doing is he's hince has put down. russians. who. 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 asserting 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 through their claims even often there which it. is and is a country and. this is i prefer a boat. or be also este. ron. i am 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 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 room for interpretation the name of the game is if you want to have the best answer for your time 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 with fines to date to the continental shelf commission but canada and denmark want to know phone 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 a speck to the commission evaluates the scientific data and makes a decision if the 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 that 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 $21.00

members on the commission 19 come from countries that are right for territorial expansion to national interests play out decisions of its members what is certain is that their recommendations in contested. and the fence lines of the commish yorn i try to control our part this is the work that charm in every age i do my. as you try and then. i can 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. puts the international seabed to. say it is a type of executive council of the ocean floor they supervise with the states on able 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 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

tasco 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.r. 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 almost 3 quarters of the earth's surface. and. over 40 percent of this area has been assigned to 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 estimated 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 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 write 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 bugs like current nothing has a leg up over many other states a colonial past. please leave. blues to preview will be in the realm of.

say are hopefully she. do or do we do. not want to feel at least one of. the. all. well out. of the. famous 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 on t.v. . it is.

jacqueline regularly did not print says is. it for the devil in the office. the army does he did was this is such an. france has claimed territories amounting to some 12000000 square kilometers around 20 times the size of continental farms if the claims are true 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 yasith also there. are a little him all this limo and bulldog. us a good. leader of our political. idiot could do just remodel

ireland's represent 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 for you 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 cracked the genetic code of a life form the could help japan i'd say 400000 square kilometers to its territory . is a geoscientist in the university of tokyo he specializes in cold. isms that

trans whistles formless is not being welcomed by everyone however it's you maritime claims of tensions with his powerful neighbor china which itself is currently involved in island territory disputes with a home away of countries. as states attempts to extend their maritime zones as far as possible many international conflicts have arisen. require. in the south china sea 8 countries to fight info on the business 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 maritime boundaries within the easier. we're seeing conflicts

raising up to volatile levels driven predominantly for by resource development for the offshore 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 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 in 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 design new boundaries of being tooling for dividing up the switches powerful industries only move into 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 to dump. like and. you also have to realize that the ocean is off future so we need to have some way of. deciding who is responsible for walk and where and when. 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 on more than its continents built with
