the pandemic bettany and 3 very slow economic global economic recovery so it's morally wrong in terms of our esteemed the pandemic it to intel and it wouldn't also bring livelihood spec is that what we want health officials in the west african nation of senegal sake over 1000 variants are a feeling a surge in infections its health system is overwhelmed and medical students are being mobilized to make up for a shortage of doctors nicholas hock reports from the car. if only the dead could speak says up to juve then the living would know of the pain and distress caused by coronavirus jew for isn't even aware that cove in $1000.00 killed his 40 year old friend with stuff like gay until an autopsy was carried out he now pictures him alone and gasping for air in

3:03 pm
centers faced with an increased case of infections and whilst the government is praising medical staff with public messages that like this one there aren't enough doctors to keep the health system running. to make up for this shortage the government has drafted in medical students to work in the wards and treat patients but they are not qualified and are still learning why you want to overwhelmed and being sent to all types of wards some days i'm a cardiologist in the front in just a gynecologist i'm asked to do it all. will be months before most african countries get access to vaccines with health experts predicting the outbreak will only get worse causing many more deaths before it can be contained because hawke al-jazeera the car. made mars' military says it will abide by the nation's constitution amid concerns the armed forces might attempt

world. for millenia the oceans lay outside the dominion of the. state's influence extended only sleepy noticable miles from the coast a little further than a cannonball could travel. but then humans discover that the ocean floor. and 3rd largest land grab a well 2 story became. a
3:06 pm
minute wait a minute. on thomas lion arm in the bedroom of rodeo should in the north atlantic twice i've sold it twice in small yards and also trust in a bottle. in our lives on rock or 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 the 40 days it did the job it kept the window for me i was warm and dry but don't forget i'm right at the top of the cliff it's just
3:07 pm
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 once in a vessel shaped like a beer bottle for his latest trip he sailed from newfoundland supposed 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 it. was a mission a mission done in service to mother and. somebody said oh well what about some killed and go in there but so we all said a rock or
3:08 pm
a rock falls right out 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 apartment block or so chance 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 then the strong work ethic the big. the way down i go down there was 54th straight down into the for. the landing at local in 1985 most 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 we wanted to claim of the law because an island but
3:09 pm
for that to happen international law stipulated that tom must remain there for 21 days or more. turn 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 achieved our 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. the isle it was to play a key lonely and british territorial claims. the main players in british maritime claims work in an office on the south coast of
3:10 pm
india and. it's a fascinating area of work to do. there's not often somebody working in oceans signs that you do get the opportunity to mix both illegal 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 onto the lot of the land area of great britain and 240000 square kilometers the area that the u.k. have submitted for the heartening rockall area is a 163000 square kilometers. good looking to.
3:11 pm
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 that 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 st kilda has been deserted ever since its 36 remaining inhabitants left almost a century ago but humans lived there once and they could live there again at least
3:12 pm
theoretically. what does the u.k. want with all this water. do you own. the idea of the ocean has changed over time. mums from the plans to show how the rulers and their cult talk of those monks saw the world and what they thing. wootton 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
3:13 pm
a veritable mega continent without ocean. so the ocean really plays no role at all except to show a limit the ocean shows the limit of society and shows the limits of actually of god's kingdom of the kingdom on earth to the east beyond the ocean clay eden lay that the promised land lay heaven beyond that there was really nothing baptist. for most of human history the oceans were projection screens for the imagination unexplored and electricity the 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
3:14 pm
ocean for them it was a blue expanse full with dangers and obstacles that needed to be overcome a sailor's journey to foreign lands. and of course the 2 dimensional that is ironic because the ocean is so material a 3 dimensional you know we you step into the ocean you sink. yet in the 19th and 20th centuries something happened that changed our idea of the ocean for africa the seabed became a place of exploration in 858 as the transatlantic cape was being late engineers noticed variation in the oceans. 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
3:15 pm
1st voyage began the exploration of a towering name called nita 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 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.
3:16 pm
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 to retreat 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 people wanted new territory 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
3:17 pm
means that ingenuity and back to expand facilities will 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
3:18 pm
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. and be 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. yeah. but the. odds of it at c.n.n.
3:19 pm
not. by ever there should be. like this name here. in the us we are by. the arguments that the continent continues on made up the core of truman's justification this was the more convincing because the historical events the legitimized this theory which by far into history. simply fall. on in time to if keep this. time in. terms. of the korean talent left by medion me mom. 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
3:20 pm
you up and africa like pieces of a puzzle. indeed carnegie lookee in differ on fonz i. was just a comment i much as some. pianist very fancy that 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. posterous. this being water sanitary. vs just. spin up could turn. out to damage that kind of supervised. this is on the supercontinent on them in the atmosphere to nothing we only outs work invalid as africa the american doctors and indian as i know and most of the funding small our national cost. does this to cure
3:21 pm
the present. indian see it's here. to cost 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 delate us has or. does or spitzer or does it up or can do that kid didn't want to form yet on this have to be done or to her sausan of the feel of whom was you know gaspar told. they the end of this submerged land mass is really a prolongation 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
3:22 pm
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 but fear not meet our plight. africa. particularly made up artist doesn't. want importing context or picturesque land. to balance out the jew. logical 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 has granted a continental shelf extending 200 nautical miles around to see its exclusive economic zone. so these did idea of this 200 as
3:23 pm
a magic number became acceptable to many states at the conference but the broad margin states did not accept this because of course they were as far as they're concerned they would come out as a loser and it's not just the us and. also other states such as canada russia is also one of those states so they were not willing to give this up. ultimately states with a wide continental shelf prevailed cool's 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
3:24 pm
a veritable wound on the world's oceans and the largest land allocation in world history. for the 1st time in the history of humanity a land grab occurred based not only more on traditional forms of power but rather on geological findings. the scientists have a special role in the case of the ocean because. as 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. and. so on i would like to explain now actually article $76.00 of the
3:25 pm
convention to see actually works and it's all about natural. gas so we have a lot actually the land continues under water or something like this everything is decided by the point where the continental gradient drops off at the foot of the continental slope this spot is used to calculate the shelves outer limits the state can choose between 2 formulas it can extend its borders 60 nautical miles or 100 kilometers from this point seawards tran be more advantageous however to use the settlement thickness will because the settlements on the mainland the state has a territorial claim to this part of the sea bed 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
3:26 pm
from the foot of the slope. because no one on the chests understands geological data only thing can determine how far the state sovereign rights extend over the ocean hence a commission of expert was found in new york where the global community recognizes the stakes and has so far importers. love for. human launches. beside thousands why make to leave the. room or a. commission on zit limits of. as pows idiotic and zap it is as is g.'s e instead to join you bob keep them join sed head busy feel if we had be too involved. would. call him names
3:27 pm
helped build this commission yes now he is among the fiercest critics. g. home in your. paper for a tense year they are spotless. yeah it's bad when fog that i'll bite mocked over dinner tonight in president. the $21.00 geologist of the continental commission would d.c. to the united nations plaza filming it is for me the. members may speak to the public in spite of precisely because of the fact that their decisions can change maritime nations. easily.
3:28 pm
i am not confidentiality the. best i have the. joe because you've run every loach that joe. it down the dat even missed zhan this to us and i'm trained there yeah i. played of confidentiality pfaff on the night but does ice sheets rising you know house. earth. al-jazeera is investigative unit goes undercover tracking down an international organized crime network. is going to. go down to exposing direct links to corruption at the highest level of the bangladesh government. the package the.

3:30 pm
and when you leave with a smile we know law day's work is done cats are always welcome to our home. this is al jazeera with a check on your world headlines the world health organization is warning against hoarding coronavirus vaccine supplies it follows the e.u. is moved to impose export controls on vaccines manufactured in the block the controls will affect nearly $100.00 countries if we hold vaccines and if we are not sharing there will be sorry major problems one i say that it will be a catastrophic moral failure and 2 it keeps the pandemic bettany and 3 very slow
3:31 pm
economic global economic recovery so it's morally wrong in terms of arresting the pandemic into intel and it wouldn't also bring livelihoods back is that what we want. algeria has just begun its faxon nation drive using doses of russia's sputnik vaccine the initial jobs were issued and that's. where algeria's 1st cases were detected in march the government's also trying to secure deliveries of the astra zeneca vaccine only 4 other african nations have begun their inoculation campaigns health officials in senegal say covert 1000 variants are fueling a surge and infection its health system is overwhelmed and medical students are being mobilized to make up for a shortage of doctors canada is imposing tougher travel restrictions in an effort to curb the spread of the more contagious strains of covert 19 next week returning
3:32 pm
travelers will have to quarantine in hotels at their own expense canadian airlines are also holding flights to mexico on the caribbean to discourage vacationers me and mars the military says it will abide by the country's constitution and it concerns the armed forces might attempt a coup the governing party has called on the military to accept the results of november's election more than a dozen countries over urged me and mara to add here to democratic norms the united nations says more than 200000 people have fled violence in central african republic in the past 2 months just last week its estimates were significantly lower with the agency reporting 100000 people displaced you're up to date with the headlines the news hour on al-jazeera is coming up in less than 30 minutes time for now it's back to ocean's monopoly thanks for watching. february on al-jazeera under strict access to iran's nuclear program is about to end will u.s.
3:33 pm
president joe biden overturn from sanctions and help rebuild relations al-jazeera sets out on a journey to the heart of what it means to be a true supporter of the beautiful game the us has the highest covered 1000 count in the world the new administration has promised to turn that around we'll have extensive coverage the big picture reveals how the perfect storm of events in 2020 exposed the truth about race at the hawked the united states and as president joe biden embarks on his 1st month in the white house we'll bring you the latest developments escape attempts to repair global relationships february on al-jazeera . but. before that 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 their cards out it's as jeezy institute joined bob peeped. for the 1st time in the history of humanity
3:34 pm
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 luling sunbelt maritime territories a notoriously unforthcoming one members agreed to speak about the commission on the condition the team meters in new york which in which city in strong terms. being as personally i have always felt that we could do an effort to actually be more transparent and to communicate more. man. so my name is walter roost i mean you physicist you 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
3:35 pm
thing i should say is that they're not 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 while the 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 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 we the scientific and technical experts but
3:36 pm
we also. cautions of the fact that our recommendations or decisions that we make have huge impact both politically economically. and so on so is it possible to distinguish those 2. for geologists in the commission to have the job of evaluating continental shelf data submitted by countries officially the commission only makes recommendations but since their conclusions are not cooperated by anyone else they have de facto or pfoa t. to decide which nations get which territories. 5 nations that border the arctic ocean are in a bid to extend their software in why it's in the direction of the north pole denmark china to us norway and russia each wants as much territory as possible the
3:37 pm
area is best. managing to contain 10 percent of the wolves oil was. due to fire who. me and sushi. if. for. us we're doing is is hince has put down. russians. 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
3:38 pm
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. the face. or the also este. ron. i am a fresh one of. the. missions. in the race to control the world's oceans data is key if
3:39 pm
a claim that 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 in use for your final application for law the seed to ensure that the answer is the best that it can be. russia has since submitted it refines data to the continental shelf commission but canada and denmark want to know from home to. how can other countries with the same scientific arguments claim the same territory
3:40 pm
. is an ocean and water is a continent it is a question of just speak 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
3:41 pm
we're talking about in the preaching based all relatively sparse data. the commission is a clip of experts selected by the channel to save the united nations the $21.00 members on the commission 19 come from countries that other cite for territorial expansion to national interests plane decisions of its members what is certain is that their recommendations contested. and the fence line so good. i've tried to control our part this is the work that's how i am in every age i do my. i can for the acquittal yet i'm glad to have a problem short. nobody. wiking
3:42 pm
some well there were 2 candidates to make. and all i can say is that john mccain wants so we end up in kingston. michael love puts the international seabed to. say it is a type of executive council of the ocean floor they supervise one of the states on able to get their hands on with continental shelf claims the i.s.a.'s official 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 control aim sovereignty. and it has to be
3:43 pm
administered for the benefit of all mankind. to see better 40 years the time 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 the 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
3:44 pm
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 deagle 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
3:45 pm
figures that we have the international seabed authority which is based in jamaica they came up with an ask them it 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 u.s. dollars is white it would be enough to every person on earth a check for one and a half $1000000.00. this is one of the country's leading the charge to claim a piece of the pie like current nothing has a leg up over many other states a colonial past. please
3:46 pm
leave. blues. or don't you like say. a flea she. do or do we do. not want to feel at least one of. the. well out. of the. to its colonial past france administers islands in almost every ocean of the world now it stands to gain substantial maritime territory in each. france just 11 claims pending the continental shelf commission.
3:47 pm
says it is. it is the. best she. says is. definitely. the. on the tour. de. france has claimed territories amounting to some 12000000 square kilometers around 20 times the size of continental farms if the claims are. it will become the world's 2nd largest maritime nation its sovereign wide stretching over an area of the ocean almost as large as the entire arctic less yachts also to ferry the.
3:48 pm
bar a little him all the daily limo and bulldog. bus 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 switch don't you not a are they just city. or city have a come on at your daily look at the courts not bad or last disease do put in is you
3:49 pm
shall see they go off or send decision t. o. . s. to that part and also that there's the paternity. compared to what's not add up on the shelves you. foresee any. dolly proper for. this article about. the sort of grew to want their machine are better may i meet our. don't walk away from scot do some unity bus will shut either the boat different this up or shock you. boarding as you fall so when you see force is not best for you and so the false sense of false critical.
3:50 pm
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 there's software interest or extends around them in a circle even if an island were just a small block its merits or inside would be larger than germany. if a group of islands forms and all 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 that could help japan i'd say 400000 square kilometers to its territory
3:51 pm
make a army is a geoscientist in the university of tokyo he specializes in coal organisms that display characteristics of both animals and plants and. you can almost get a them or all of them up and it's a good thought they did it quite got up and all was ill step that we all know. yet kayani has delved further into their biology into the secret of their reproduction and found a method for breed. deem them on the large scale. seize on this go to the mall. at the bottom of it education to get out of the often this is echoed the argument about thought even when this. mass produced coles $60000.00 tiny coal babies are being artificially bred to farm on. a small island off the coast of

okinawa but for walked her does. look in a trollish image is located 1700 kilometers south of tokyo it is a small cold matter during high tide clears the surface by a mere centimeters japan regards it as an island but the existence of a q notorious under threat. all 6 join it and i see him in ga and he just said. that they are the mascot of them all is one out of the will system out there so you can ya get us bucks japan has decided that kinda troy you must not vanish its maritime area which presents
3:53 pm
a massive territorial expansion bringing with it so when whites over fish and other natural resources. the ornaments sickie. them as their guys will. and so they can hide that. nothings. thought. this. territory be lost if the only. coals being used to save the assholes thousands of them have been ships to a canoe taurine to preserve that we find make it as launch as possible a pilot project on an island taiwan is studying what bikini atoll he might one day look like things to coles. soon accounted for you could
3:54 pm
become a real island like the pilot project. which consists entirely of cargo. pants whistles fulness being welcomed by everyone whether it's you maritime claims of tensions with his powerful neighbor china which it's still a face colony infomed an island territory disputes with a whole array of countries. as states attempts to extend their maritime zones as far as possible many international conflicts have a listen. require. in the south china sea 8 countries a fighting photorealism value to $100000000000.00.
3:55 pm
