is incredible will to survive the arab awakening absolute power. if you want to help save the world. sneeze into your own. your child is there with me still robin and remind of our top news stories the world health organization is calling on governments to pause their coronavirus vaccine rollouts once essential workers and vulnerable people receive their jobs it's concern that rich nations will stockpile supplies causing others to miss out dr margaret how ours is a spokeswoman for the w.h.o. she says vaccine nationalism does not work in anyone's favor. my big politically attractive leaders obviously want to be looking after their people but it's very

very shortsighted because we need to be vaccinating around the world and we need to vaccinate the people who are most exposed to this fire set the health and frontline workers who are fighting battling this fire as far as every day and those who are most likely to be sick the ones that the health care workers are battling to save and that's the older people and people with co-morbidities but that has to happen in every country around the world it's no good just protecting one country because of the pandemic will continue to burn on and we it will take longer to end and also the economic fallout will continue we've seen a lot of studies that have demonstrated this is a good example there are countries that are being good neighbors who are saying we were vaccinators top groups and we will provide those doses for others the other way is through the codex facility that was set up very much the european union was

one of the main groups involved britain was is very involved many countries are very involved and that provides access to the vaccines for other countries in the kovacs are still it doesn't matter whether you're rich or poor the idea is equality of access and access according to need through its beginning a strict law for the 2nd time in 10 months to ease pressure on its overwhelmed hospitals a shortage of medical oxygen is forcing hundreds of people to seek supplies on the black market people have been queuing up for days and sleeping in turns to secure oxygen for patients. is monitoring developments for us iris. but it's going to be very difficult they've had lock downs before very tight lock downs this one will affect about half the country's $32000000.00 population including the capital leiber and the surrounding areas it's only going to save people to stay at home if they can only essential business is the trouble with something like 70 percent of

the population of the workforce work in the informal economy if they don't work they simply don't have enough money to feed their families so they resisted the previous lockdowns they're likely to resist this one as well although they agree with the government's measures they say they really have no no options the government is finding it very difficult in that it's a country with a very weak medical infrastructure it only has 500 intensive care beds for a population of 32000000 so it really feels it has no choice with the number of deaths from coal that leaping from 40 a week or 40 a day in recent weeks up to 100 a day now this is a last resort in many ways until they can start their vaccination program in the process of that but it's not going to happen it's not going to get started until some time in february portugal says is about to run out of beds and it's intensive care units as a grapples with the world's highest krone virus death told the capital some covert $1000.00 patients are critically ill are being sent to portuguese islands including

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 3rd largest land grab in won't history be kept.

in the unit. 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 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 wood. for 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. hall mclean is one of the u.k.'s greatest adventure has he crossed the atlantic 5 times the 1st time in a globe and once in a vessel shaped like a beer bottle for his latest trip he sailed from newfoundland children in the smallest sailboat ever to cross the atlantic. and. soon mclean traveled 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 about st kilda and they go in there but so the rock or rock falls right there in the

middle of the atlantic and there seems to be a dispute who owns it and i thought why if i be your 1st civilian to reside on rock call that would help the case it wasn't quite so good the wind carried their safety line. they closed in without it. it is very dangerous there now you can see how it is quite dangerous. they were far from ok after that momentary triumph then the attic the big b. way down i go down there was 54th straight down into the foam flies helplessly into . the landing in 1985. told him to clean his knife. but he eventually made it to safety and flew in london and getting to the top. it 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 the chiefs are making history. in mind 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 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 onto the lot. 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. with good news 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 in st kilda has been deserted ever since its $36.00 remaining inhabitants left almost a century ago but humans lived there once and they could live there again at least

theoretically. what does the u.k. want with all this water. what do you mean by opening a piece of the ocean. the idea of the ocean has changed over time. mums from. the plan was to show how the rules and their kotoko for those months 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 unexplored and irrepressible 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 ocean for them it was a blue expanse full with dangers and obstacles that needed to be overcome a sailor's journey to follow in lines. 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 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

above. 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. 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 no will but also the right to incorporate undersea territory truman used an argument that built on

a recent discovery some areas of the seabed oceanic others a continental. the us had to have this kind of basis of a joe logic a link between its land mass and a 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. 15 year old like this name yes. we did our business in the us we are by. the argument that the continent continues on made up the core of truman's justification this was more convincing because the historical events that legitimized this theory which by far into history. possibly. do 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 you up and africa like pieces of a puzzle. indeed carnegie lookee in the floor on fall on one of the dark horse dusty couldn't i much as some. pianists. in the record scientists today believe there was once a supercontinent that at some point began to drift apart in the early 20th century this idea seemed completely preposterous. this being water sanitary. vs just it. could turn. out adama's got kind of supervised. this is on the supercontinent on them in the atmosphere to nothing we only outs work and there does afaik the american doctors

and indian as i know and most of the funniest. and does this to cure the present. indian see it's here. to cost us a con invite not. back these are the here that's where the quote entire. one don't hear home is the only planet delegate's has as a. where does it up or kunder that condemned. to form yet on this have to be done article sausan of the feel of. gospel to. their idea that this submerged land mass is really a problem dition 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 biden chaired by nancy mind us as we but fear not limit our plight. africa. particularly made up artist doesn't. want importing context picturesquely and. 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 idea of this 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. 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 and the crew was in question is article $76.00 it says that the state can lay claim to his geological continental shelf in addition to his legal continental shelf provided in the state can supply data demonstrating the shelves outer limits within 10 years. the time limit

triggered a veritable wound on the world's oceans and the largest land allocation in world history. for the 1st time in the history of humanity a land grab occurred based not only more on traditional forms of power but rather on geological findings. the scientists have a special role in the case. the ocean because the physical difference isn't as obvious it's not as experienced if you're on an island detention no you're on an island you can experience where land meets water i have no idea where the seabed ends you know where the continental shelf fans and you know nobody does from every day observation.

and. so on i would like to explain you now actually article $76.00 of the convention on the sea actually works and it's all about natural. laws so we have allowed us to actually land continues underwater 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 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 sediment thickness will because the sediments which need 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 knowledge just understands geological data only thing can determine how far a state so when winds extend over the ocean hence the commission of x. that was found in new york with the global community recognize the stakes and has so far in borders iraq one knows. 0 non-si business wiped out by mcteague the. zune or a. commission on the limits of the gun. as pows idiotic and zap it is as is g.'s e instead to join you bob heaped then join just head busy sure if we had each really involved. would pay here for that. call him names

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 idiotic and zachary's as jeezy institute joined 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 eater's naughty new york put in which city in fromm's. king and personally i have 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 a work at the 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 were powerful interests behind the state's petitions seabed 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. 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 china to us norway and russia each wants as much territories possible the area is best. made it to contain 10 percent of the world's oil reserves. the let loose. to to fire you who are. a me and sushi if. for calling for regime bugs in garden you are not unless we're doing this is hints

has put down several russian selfish. that. has cats less money than was allowed their eyes washoe understood how to take advantage of the new law. in 2002 it was one of the 1st countries to submit a claim to the continental shelf commission the russians asserted lloyd's to no less than the entire essential arctic an area of 1500000 square kilometers including the north pole coal hince was known as the man who shot down blushes claim on account of insufficient scientific evidence but russia employed a trick that many states are using to push through their claims even after they were checked it. as i think out of the 1000 back on explaining this is a country and surely. this is ideal for both these ever feel. it economists joined on most of the 1st guy. or the also he asked soothingly run

you out of i my 1st one of. yeah it was actually a home. he gave me because. i sucked missions soared. into the waste to control the world's oceans. data is key if a claim is rejected nations can have with searches collect more information this effectively allows countries to circumvent the commission's 10 year deadline governments can submit new reports until their claims who approved each additional geological submission brings with it a fresh womb for interpretation the name of the game is if you want to have the best answer for your maritime boundaries and or the best answer for your extended continental shelf you go out and collect the best modern day data possible to go and use for your final application for law 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 home to. how can other countries with the same scientific arguments claim the same territory . is an ocean and water is a continent it is a question of perspective 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 reversed. i don't know i mean we have know. that 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 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 interpreting based all relatively sparse data. the commission is a clip of textbooks selected by the church the nations of the 21 members on the commission 19 come from countries that others write the territorial expansion to national interests plane decisions of its members what is certain is the recommendations and tested. and the facts land so good as your name.

on top of. this is that the work had charm in every age i had my. back country there could be past lives of problems short nobody. wiking son well there were 2 candidates to make. him all i can say is that want. michael loved puts the international seabed to. say it is a type of executive council of the ocean floor they supervise one of the states on able to get their hands on with continental shelf claims the i.s.a.'s official is

that the deep sea bed is the common heritage of mankind they believe that the ocean belongs to everyone the common heritage concept includes. a number of basic ideas the 1st idea is that it's an area over which no single state and claim sovereignty. and it has to be administered for the benefit of all mankind. the seabed all 14 years the toes 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 the 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. all the oceans covers over 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 coastal states. in the year 2000 and that's the latest set of figures that we have the international seabed afore. the which is based in jamaica they came up with an estimate as they saw that governments were starting to work through this more recent component for law 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 u.s.

dollars is white it would be enough to every person on earth a check for one and a half $1000000.00. for this is one of the country's leading the charge to claim a piece of the pie like current nothing has a leg up over many other states a colonial past. please leave. blues. in the realm of. say are they flee she. do or do we do. not want to feel at least one of. the. all. well out. of the thanks to its

colonial past france administers islands in almost every ocean of the world now it stands to gain substantial maritime territory in which. currently france has 11 claims pending the continental shelf commission. says it is on t.v. . it is. jacqueline regularly did not print says is. definitely. the on the dosage it 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. 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. you know there are a little him all the daily limahl and bulldog. thus a good. deal they could do just remodel a bit more now because they do security doing it don't drive or. duplicate control so some of the predict not pass up class.

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 coal. and isms that display characteristics of both animals and plants. that's going to the mall all of them up and it's ok with a lot they get it up in an all out civil 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. aussies on the go to the mall. at the bottom of it it's akin

to what i mean out of the often this is echoed argument about thought there were numerous. mass produced coles $60000.00 tiny coal babies being artificially bred to farm on a small island off the coast of okinawa but for walked her does. look a neutral wish him a is located 1700 kilometers south of tokyo it is a small cold matter during high tide he clears the surface by a mere centimeters japan regards it as an island but the existence of

arisen. require. in the south china sea 8 countries a fighting for 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 easy. we're seeing conflicts raising up to volatile levels driven predominantly by resource development for the off shore typically will end up having a coastal frontage area that looks like this and let's say that we have a land boundary we're country a is sitting here and country b. 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 contestants territories the well. everyone wants a piece of the design new boundaries of being tooling for to finding a piece which is powerful industries only move in the deep sea no one can predict the consequences of this industrialization of the wilds bhushan is. there the consequences of
