on jersey. hello i'm daryn jordan and with a quick reminder of the top stories here on al-jazeera the number of people who have died from coronavirus in the u.s. has now topped 200000 on the day that threshold was passed president trump once again blamed china in his address to the u.n. general assembly he said beijing had unleashed this plague on the world china in response call for unity in the fight against covert 19 here's our diplomatic editor james bays like all the other world leaders speaking at the u.n. president speech was prerecorded his words were as controversial as apple. we have waged a fierce battle against the invisible enemy the china virus which has claimed countless

lives in $188.00 countries in the united states we launched the most aggressive mobilization since the 2nd world war the fact checkers in a country that suffered more than most from cope with 19 unlikely to question those claims as the chinese ambassador to the un listened in the general assembly hall the president intensified his attack on china we must hold accountable the nation which unleashed this plague onto the world china in the early is days of the virus china locked down travel domestically while allowing flights to leave china and infect the world before introducing president xi the chinese ambassador made an impromptu intervention complaining about bullying and. china resolutely acts that baseless accusation against china his president in

a clear contrast to president trump said international cooperation was the key to combating covert 19. 19 reminds us that we're living in an interconnected global village with a common stake all countries are closely connected and we share a common feature no country can gain from this difficulties on the taste of billet taking advantage of the struggles in his address the president of france expressed his growing concern about the tension between the world's 2 largest economies new purpose for the me today's world cannot be left to the rivalry between china and the united states regardless of the white in the world that these 2 great powers share regardless of the history that ties us especially to the united states the collapse of the frameworks of our cooperation. that rigidity of just referenced all

of that millions we must build a new order trump speech was almost certainly the shortest ever given by u.s. president to the un general assembly just 7 minutes long it was delivered with a machine gun like style of oh there was criticism of iran china was the main target in his sights diplomats say speeches like this do nothing to decrease the polarization on the world stage james out 0 at the united nations british prime minister bars johnson has announced new coronavirus restrictions including curfews for pubs and restaurants and only a plan england though as scotland wales and northern ireland decide their own rules johnson says infections are again rising exponentially and warn that even tougher response may be needed. anti-government protesters in egypt were back on the streets for a 3rd night. these are pictures from days and in the capital cairo demonstrators are calling for the president. to

step down there defying a police crackdown that seen at least 200 people arrested since sunday. cameroon's main opposition party says one person's been killed in anti-government protests police used tear gas and water cannon to break up the crowds in the economic capital douala demonstrators are calling for an end to the long running conflict between english speaking separatists and security forces independence day celebrations in mali have been muted following last month's coup soldiers later at the monument of independence in the capital bamako on monday the joint appointed defense minister ban door as interim president regional leaders are pressuring the army to return power to civilians so those are the headlines the news continues here on al-jazeera after oceans monopoly stage and dance of watching.

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 welty story began and.

i'm tom apply and i'm in the bedroom of rodeo should in the north atlantic twice i've sold it twice in small yards and also crossed in a bottle bug in. to me with him when i lived on rockaway in this some people call a survival capsule i 1 call it a wooden box it's a house like this is my house this is a one man house i lived in the it for 40 days it did the job it kept the window for me i was warm and dry but don't forget i'm right talk the talk of the cliff it's just straight down to the city.

it's home a clean. it's 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 well if i be your 1st civilian to reside on

rock call that would help the case it wasn't quite so good the wind carried there. they closed in without it. is very dangerous there now you can see how lumpy is quite dangerous. they were far from ok after that momentary triumph but then don't whack the big the way down i go down there was 54 straight down into the foam flies helplessly into the sea. the landing at 1985. 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 a lot because an island but for that to happen international law stipulates at 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 the chiefs are making history. gesture to remind those who may challenge it that brittania ruled these waves. for the u.k. it was about more than just claiming a lump of granite in the ocean the real objective was to secure the resource which a oh yeah oh around last call the islet was to play a key lonely in pushed territorial claims. the main players in put its 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 further west we passed the rock all rock itself on to 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. it 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 claim but 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. what do you mean by owning a piece of the ocean. the idea of the ocean has changed over time. the most from the pros to show how goods and their kotoko has once 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 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 of an unexplored an 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 expire. it's formed with dangerous 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 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 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 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 truly wanted more people wanted new terms story for the night it states the superpower needed more more oil urgently oil reserves on the mainland no longer sufficed. our dependence on these minerals and raw materials is so 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 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 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. other big get c.n.n. not the coast i ever use it was 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. too if keep this. time in. terms. of the korean talent their 50 percent efforts 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 us and africa like pieces of

a puzzle. was indeed carnegie lookee in differ on found on one of the dogs does the 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. vs just it. could turn. out a democrat kind of supervise and. this is since on the supercontinent on them in the atmosphere to nothing we only outs work invalid us afaik the american doctors and indian. muslims in funding. to cure

the present. indian see it's here. to cost us the con invite not. back these are but i hear that's where the quote entire. went on here has only climate delegates has a. pork under that condemned. on doesn't have to be done article sausan of the feel of. gospel. they did it 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 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. sponsor and us as we buffy are not part of. africa to acquire a particular made up artist who does as i didn't want him harding context reporter pictured us 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 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 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 you now actually article $76.00 of the convention

actually works and it's all about natural. laws so we have. actually 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 shelves outer limits the states can choose between 2 formulas it can extend its borders 60 nautical miles or 180 kilometers from this point see woods tran be more advantageous 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 this 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 only chests understand geological data only thing. determined to follow the state so when winds extend over the initial pence the commission of acts to respond to deal with the global community recognizes the stakes and the suffering bullet is involved 1. 0 non-si business wiped out by mcteague the. zune or a. commission on zip limits of the gun. as posey dba records exactly it is that's is g.'s e is g. to join you bob peeped then join just head busy sure if we had each really involved. would. call him names

helped build this commission yes now he is among its fiercest critics. g. home in the publish your. i paid for. slim i stop. it's bad one for. that hour i mocked our dinner tonight in president. the $21.00 geologist of the continental shelf commission was building d.c. to the united nations plaza filming it 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 the.

as though because you've wrong have you noticed that joe and day it down to the dat even east zion why this good i was trying to end their lives yeah i. play of country then g.-d. found finites great but does i just she tries you know i was. good.

for centuries egypt assault to come on power over the nile enough we don't homing any of the normal place and countries they don't need the no help they get they will suffer from nature boss upstream this dominance is being challenge by countries who want to grow into shan i know that some people in asia. on question i.d.'s this circumstance is have changed in 10 quite

a struggle over the nile on al-jazeera. hello i'm daryn jordan in doha with a quick reminder the top stories on al-jazeera president trump has used his speech to the u.n. general assembly to attack china over the coronavirus pandemic the us president accused beijing offending to share information when the outbreak began we must hold accountable the nation which unleashed this plague onto the world china in the early years days of the virus china lock down travel domestically while allowing flights to leave china and infect the world the chinese government and the world health organization which is virtually controlled by john and falsely declared that

there was no evidence of human to human transmission later they falsely said people without symptoms would not spread the disease the united nations by this whole china accountable for their actions what shortly before president trump speech was played at the u.n. the u.s. death toll from coronavirus past 200000 the country has 4 percent of the world's population but 20 percent of the total reported cope with 19 deaths british prime minister barak's johnson has announced new coronavirus restrictions including curfews for pubs and restaurants that only apply in england scotland wales and northern ireland decide their own rules johnson says infections are again rising exponentially anti-government protesters in egypt we're back on the streets for a 3rd night. these are pictures from guinea's any of the capital cairo demonstrators according for president abdel fatah sisi to step down defying

a police crackdown that seen at least 200 people arrested since sunday. cameron's main opposition party says one person has been killed in anti-government protests police used tear gas and water cannons to break up the crowds in the economic capital dollars demonstrators are calling for an end to a long running conflict between english speaking separatists and security forces. and independence day celebrations in mali have been muted following last month's coup soldiers laid a wreath at the monument of independence in the capital bamako on monday the gentle appointed defense minister bondo was interim president regional leaders are pressuring the army to return power to civilians so those were the headlines the news continues here on al-jazeera after opens oceans one up an expected down subject by the. commission of experts was founded in new york where the global community recognizes

states and the suffering borders as pows you do you are there and zara is that's jeezy is just to join bob peeped. for the 1st time in the history of humanity land because it based not only more on traditional forms of power but rather on geological findings. the experts who tipped the scales the links are found to maritime territories a notoriously unforthcoming one member has agreed to speak about the commission on the condition the team eater's naughty new you'll get in which city instruments. personally i have 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 you physicist you 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 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 differences 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 seabed data that 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. for geologists in the commission 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 world's oil was. due to fly who wouldn't. have me edge to shoot. if. for. us we're doing is is hince has put down. actions. 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 i prefer a boat. or the also yes. 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. nor 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 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 one poem to. how can other countries with the same scientific arguments claim the same territory . is an ocean and want to succumb to it it is a question of respect if 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 reversed. i don't know i mean we have no. if we replace all members of the commission that the cleeve we have 21 new members and we would give them the same case it

would be get the same result can be quite certain we will not get exactly the same result so i. i don't believe that the commission can be a 100 percent right because 100 percent right does not exist in natural sciences we're talking about interpreting based all right up to this past date of. the commission is a clip of textbooks selected by the cello to save the united nations of the 21 members on the commission 19 come from countries that other side of the territorial expansion to national interests plane decisions of its members inserts against the recommendations and tested. and the face plans of the company is your name. on top on this is that the work i was harm in every age i did my.

my country or the i could do a. job the problem is your nobody. wiking son well there were 2 candidates to make. and all i can say is that john mccain wants. michael law which puts the international seabed to. say it is a type of executive council of the ocean floor they supervise what the states are unable to get their hands on with continental shelf claims the i.s.a.'s official motto is that the deep sea 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 for 2 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 almost 3 quarters of the earth's surface. and. 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 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 a nasty 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 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 white 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 luck card nothing has a leg over many other states at colonial past. your please give. me a blues preview. don't you like say. a flea she. do or do we do. not want to feel at least one of. the give you are. a lot. of. things to its colonial past france administers islands in almost every ocean of the world now it stands to gain substantial maritime territory in each.

currently 11 claims pending at the continental shelf commission. says it is. it is. best she checked in regularly do not print. is. different. they are new dos she did was this is such a young. 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 yasith also there. are a little him all the daily limahl and bulldog. us a good. leader of our blood to want you not our idiot it could just remodel a bit more now because i do security doing it don't drive or. duplicate control so some of the predict not pass up class.

which is going to. be not a city despite your. clearly. that's your daily look at the courts not bad or lost disease do put in his shell see the golf or send decision tio. desta that button off that there's the down to the ball saunders going to. that of the on the shelf here is. called force here needs. don't need. something for. the sort of grew to want that much or not better may i'm nicked up. don't walk a few steps do some unity bus will shut either the boat different based support for

soon it could be shut even. when a boarding is you also where you need forces not best. served up or didn't see 4 sets up off. critical. elements would present a crucial trump card in the battle to control the world's oceans it's all about geometry because islands are surrounded by water their software into a tree 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 geoscientist 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 a lot they get it up in a causal step that we all. yet kayani has delved further into their biology into the secret of their reproduction and found a method for breeding them on a large scale. odysseys on the scale of them all. at the bottom of it it's akin

to what i mean out of the often this is echoed argument among other you know us. mass produced coals $60000.00 tiny coal babies are being artificially bred to farm on a small island off the coast of okinawa but for won't hurt us. ok neutral wish him a is located 1700 kilometers south of tokyo it is a small cold battle during high tide he clears the surface by a mere centimeters japan regards it as an island but the existence of a q notorious under threat. and i see him in ga and he just said.

yourself with a lot of us going to the mall is one of the. so you kenya us. japan just decided that kinda true or you must not vanish it's maritime area which presents a massive territorial expansion bringing with it so when whites over fish and other natural resources. eat. them. there. and so you think you know. nothings. and. all. this territory be lost if the leave disappears. coals being used to save the at old thousands of them have been shipped to

a canoe toria to preserve that we find make it as large as possible a pilot project on an island taiwan is studying what might one day look like thanks to coles. soon ok natori could become open wheel islands like the pilot project. which consists entirely of cargo. pants whistles fulness is not being welcomed by everyone however it's you maritime claims of tensions with his powerful neighbor china which is still a face currently involved in island territory disputes with the whole of countries . states attempts to extend their maritime zones as far as possible many international conflicts have arisen.

require. in the south china sea 8 countries a fight scene only 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 from 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. is 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 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 contest its territories the well. everyone wants a piece of the design new boundaries of being tooling for to finding out piece which is powerful industries on the move in the deep sea no one can predict the consequences of this industrialized nation of the wilds bhushan. they are the consequences of a whiff aleutian that began years ago and just mostly gone unnoticed the ocean is

being defined you don't like. land. you also have to realize that the ocean is our 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 phone more than its continents build with a cohesive ecological system a sensitive continuum in which what happens to one area can affect the office. it is now up to the world's nations whether they want to take responsibility for the new unity of quiet maritime territories.

but. how we've got wet some windy weather making its way into both sides of canada at the moment because how are contending now making its way just to the the northeast of bermuda it will gradually push up towards newfoundland towards nova scotia and on the other side of the country this area cloud that set to us live this way into british columbia also affecting the pacific northwest all of the u.s. has pushed further south where we have the tropical storm bass are pushing through staggering across the deep south actually taken ages to get to this point is taken

about 5 days just to make its way from the gulf of mexico. into the fall south of texas it will take a similar amount of time actually to push or the cross into louisiana it will cause flooding some parts could see $300.00 millimeters of rain possibly as much as 500 millimeters of rain for some as we go through the next couple of days by way to start notice how the rain setting in across that western side of washington state western parts of oregon also seeing some rather wet weather and that is likely to lead to some flooding will help with the fos but it will cause floods and possibly wipe its course and landslides as well british columbia also saying some rather wet weather the right not really making it where we want to say down towards california here it stays dry but be a few showers just around the midwest. but . this is a story about a small village in the society that inhabits it and 2 of its most important

characters the villages telephone and it's a next to keep our. coverage in new filmmaking talent from around the globe to find on latin america delves into this cube and michael. long for the outside world people calling on al-jazeera. education is the big and that might. live in amman the new place it's. taking inspiration and determination to get out of the shadow and afraid to live in the remote areas don't have electricity t.v. or computers. short films show how a love of learning finds a way. for we understand the differences and similarities of cultures across the wound.

when you the news and current affairs that matter. how does the. we must hold accountable the nation which unleashed this plague onto the world on the day us coronavirus deaths past 200000 president trump attempts to put the focus and the blame squarely on china. slowing down jordan this is our 0 live from doha also coming up arab leaders use the general assembly to raise the plight of palestinians up to 2 gulf states normalize ties with israel. hoping for help but doubtful any will come we meet some of the farmers in.
