10:01 am
a johannesburg neighborhood after a couple posts videos on social media of the walking that pet tigers. ah, we begin this our actual anchor, where hundreds of fishermen are protesting against what they say is poaching from neighboring india. they say their livelihoods being threatened dozens of boats flying black flags of sale to the modem. most point of the island nation to make their point. they want their government to enforce a 2017 law, which prevents indian fishermen from encroaching into shoreline can waters. let's go lived out a colombo out there has been out fernandez, is there for us about what's this all about at the root of it. it's about livelihoods, about she lanchen fishermen struggling to make ends meet. and what they see is moss
10:02 am
scale poaching by indian fishing boats that come into she lanchen waters and take valuable fish dogs away with them. now this has not been a new phenomenon. it's been going on for years and the fishing, a sort of community right across the coast. so both from the east of sri lanka right through the north and going even into the north west of the country has been complaining over the years. some of the most valuable stocks are the stocks of shrimp that these strollers carry when one of the problems is the fishing methods of use. it's called bottom trolling where these massive trawlers have huge planks that they let right down to the bottom of the sea bed. and essentially the scrip, the sea bed as they go along and following a massive net that scoop up everything that's been kind of whipped up into those nets. the problem being that it also causes
10:03 am
a huge amount of environment destruction. so this brought us to day that started out in the east of the country in bullet to and the fisherman, $150.00 to $200.00 boats, essentially making that journey right along the coast to the north of the country to show that protest what they say all forms of bottom trawling have been banned by an amendment to the existing laws that were brought in 2017. and what they're calling for is for the sri lankan government to police these laws to implement these laws to ensure that all offenders are brought to book that is a small number of sri lankan boats that also engage in bottom trolling. and essentially what the fishermen are saying is no matter who does it, it's wrong. it's causing a huge amount of environmental destruction. it is affecting the future of the fish stocks and their livelihood. as you say, jim, there are laws in place to try to prevent this. why is the government not enforcing
10:04 am
it, given that it's been going on for so long? adrian, there are many factors to that. i mean, obviously, and one of the key issues is the fact that we're dealing with big brother india very much the muscle in south asia. now obviously the indian government, the tamela government in the south of india, from where most of these boats originate, uh, have kept saying that these are territorial, historical waters. that the fishermen sort of don't work to boundaries that these are the territories of fishing grounds. but the fact remains is that there are certain legal boundaries and these cannot be cross. so what though, the local fishermen are basically calling for is implement the law as now so far before that amendment in 2017, there was basically action taken against the immigration act for the indian vessels crossing the international maritime boundary. essentially the fisheries act,
10:05 am
but there is now a specific thing about bottom drawing. and indeed there were a lot of reactions once the law was brought into force. there was consultation with the indian government with the center who passed on the fact that any sort of violation of this law would be a sort of cracked down upon. we did see a reduction in lumber of indian, but i mean at its peak adrian, we saw things in terms of numbers going up to something like 3000 boats in a single night. uh, essentially taking over the northern the eastern seas. and this meant that sri lankan boards and this is what their main issue is that when those indian botha injure lunk and waters, the sri lankan boats can't go close. most of that net to which are put out to sea over night are cocked by these indian trawlers, causing them, or you know, thousands of dollars worth of damage. that's their livelihood. that is their
10:06 am
resource. and what they say is because the indian trailers that do come in to, sheila could waters a huge hulking vessel compared to the smaller sher lankton fishing vessels. and the shall uncle fishermen don't stand a chance. so that is why they're asking that these laws which haven't been used as effectively as they would wish, that they're asking the authorities to ensure that these up police and that strict and stringent action as allowed by these new laws are taken against all offenders. al jazeera michelle fernandez reporting live from colombo and albany. thanks indeed sir. bernice will taking place in paris to mock 60 years since the massacre of algerian independence protests us. emanuel mccall has become the 1st french president to attend such a memorial event, but has stopped short of issuing a formal apology. the precise number of victims is unknown, but some historians say that several 100 people were killed. sonia gay ago reports 60 years on from the paris massacre and the wounds run deep. one day before the
