donald trump. they will point out to the fact that while he was in office they had terrible midterm election results. he then lost the last presidential election. and then many of the credits he backed in the last midterms just in november. they did not do very well. so they're saying that it's almost as if he becoming a c the a loser. but if you walked through the halls of this conference center, everywhere you go, you're seeing donald trump hats. you're seeing donald trump, t shirts, jackets, posters, cards. many, many people are behind them and if you look at the opinion, pause of the 3 people, the of declared for the republican nomination. he is by far and away the front runner. and then when you start adding up the other neighbors that they think will will, the will be added the likes of mike pompeo. a village of tim scott, his a senator from south carolina, all of those people. i simply don't come close to matching donald trump's pool on the republican party. we've been speaking to people in the corridors in the last couple of hours and almost every single one of them said that they would support

donald trump. they're nicky healey will speaking here in the next couple of hours. what will be interesting is whether or not you see all the empty seats, briley, whether or not she's able to fill some of them, cuz we know when donald trump speaks here on saturday afternoon, every single seat will be full, very interesting. so possible divide there between, you know, what a party and leaders who the party leaders might want and who the public is still supporting. and what about florida gavin iran de santis add that he seems to be conspicuous by his absence. that oh well he's considered the man most likely to challenge donald trump. he's hugely popular in florida. of course he had a great midterms. he has, he won his state and the, the governor rafia very handily indeed. but he's opted not to come here and people think that because he hasn't yet declared, we'll think he's going to be hasn't yet. and he doesn't want to get into

a direct fight with donald trump. donald trump nice daily. he be coming here to see park. no one de santis will be speaking elsewhere in texas, building up his base. he's been all over the country in the last couple of weeks, even going to new york, donald trump's old stomping ground to get support in republican strongholds there as well. but as you say, he's opted out of here, but people think that he's the most likely. what is likely to happen is that we'll, we'll see what happens when dollars from initially run. and there will be a big field. and he will love that because he is going to be the big beast in that field. and he can take people down very quickly with a comment on the stage or some disparaging remark. if it's a much smaller field, if it's just him again, sean de santis and maybe one or 2 other from very early on. donald trump will then be in a fight. but when he stands on this stage in about just over 24 hours time, the people here will adore him because they firmly believe that he was a very successful president. and in many cases still believe them. what donald

trump has said that he won the election, even though all the evidence that proves all the allegations the donor from has made about tubing. but among the conservative grassroots, he still hugely popular. alan fresh adjoining as that lie from oxen hill and mal and there thank you alan to columbia. now where the government has sent a high level delegation to diffuse protests at an oil facility after a police officer and civilian were killed. there were taken hostage by protest, as in the southern province of coquette. there on thursday, negotiate as a trying to broker the release of 79 other offices, and 9 oil field workers. protest is demanding help to repair and build new roads in the area. columbian president, gustavo petro, says his government is working to release the hostages before any further escalation of violence. well, let's get more on. this were joined by a correspondent, alessandra amputees life horizon, the capital busher. what's the latest you're hearing on this hosted situation on

the sandra? yes, elizabeth. the last we heard is from colombia as the minister of defense. you've been black escape who has arrived in the city of some recent build. one. he's in a meeting right now there with the head of columbia, military forces general. you've been a sorry and with the number of local authorities from there, they are expected to move to the area of the incident and where the police man and the 9 oil workers are currently being held by the local population and by the so called the indigenous guard there, we understand that the situation is a com right now, and according to the minister of defense, those that are hosted right now are in good condition. they spend the night,

the inside one of the houses of the indigenous guard, the deer, and the minister said that they are hoping to be able to solve this situation as soon at least when it comes to releasing those that are being held right now. he said that the unilateral release of the police man is fundamental to be able to move forward and respond or have a government respond to the demands of the community. that is, that are holding the policeman and the president of the government will no doubt be wanting to resolve this as soon as possible. not least because of president petros, what he call his holes, his total peace plans. absolutely. this is turning out to be a major crisis for the government, and it comes out during the week where president pedro had to deal with

a number of emergencies among them, a cabinet to reshuffle just 6 months up there coming in to office. and in particular, when it comes to a very ambitious plans to bring peace to the country, negotiating with the all criminal elements that there have been a number of complications that and we see one right now. and you also picked it up last night. tweeted the implicitly saying that behind the worst, that the violence that we've seen in this protest that there could be the hand. avi dissidents group of former 5 grapples left. these rebels that have signed the piece, the a with the columbian government back in 2016. but there are different disciplines, groups that are still operating in these areas where they control the territory where they control in particular, the trafficking of illicit drugs at the cultivation of coca

plants in the, in these areas that now pietro is accusing them essentially of being behind the violence at a time when there is an expectations that some of these groups will announce that they will start negotiating with the government. there is a big issue here though, because they are dissident groups of the fact who already signed a piece deal. and a lot of politicians, and probably a majority of colombians believe that they should not be given an opportunity to negotiate with the government. the once they already decided not to participate in the previous piece, negotiate their fin. so a very, very complicated situation for the government. they need to solve this quickly and without further escalation. alessandra, thank you for that. alessandra around p a. t, with the latest live in book, which i thank you. now, negotiations for

a new treaty of the high seas are reaching their final stages. delegates from un member states and meeting in new york. they're concerned about the impact of unregulated, deep sea mining and factory fishing. the current regulations only cover a distance of 200 nautical miles from the coast beyond bad and international waters . there's little or no that governance, our environment edit and the clock explains. oh, most of the oceans on our planets alike, the wild west. when it comes to conservation, open to exploitation. the high seas covered 3 fifths of the world and the home to an extraordinary display of life. from the ocean giants that migrates around the planet. cuesta, c o. 2. when they die to the ocean drifts or plankton which produce half the oxygen we breathe. we know more about the surface of mars and the ocean depths is i learnt

when i accompanied the greenpeace expedition. the chart and unexplored deep sea reef in the atlantic of south america. diving teams went to the limits of human endurance, discovered extraordinary by diversity. samples was sent up to the surface and behold them on board to be assessed. there was all manner of life like mollusks, crustaceans, sponges, and starfish. and are you finding this is he don't recognize? well, oh wendy, wendy. because this is all this. he thought very, very few people know that they ran kilometers below the surface lie hydrothermal vents. areas rich and minerals useful for batteries in this develope age of renewable energy. these ecosystems also contain genetic resources with potential, particularly for medical applications, all of great interest to mining companies, their affairs of what could happen without regulation. we're only just starting to,

to pair into those mackey debts and understand what is there in our ability to, to impact on a system far outweigh, outstrips. currently are, are evidence who knowledge of what exists that it seems to me to be prudent and precautionary to make sure that we don't destroy things before we fully had a chance to, to, to understand them, to explore them to study them. a treaty would govern human activity on an under the high seas and stop a free for all like unsustainable fishing practices, regulating how much and from where precious resources can be taken. that clock al jazeera. let's get more on this. we're joined now by jessica battle. she's the senior global ocean governance and policy expert at world wildlife fund from nature . and she's joining us live from new york. very good to have you with us on al jazeera. so we're hearing that one of the main stumbling blocks to an agreement is

how to fairly share marine genetic resources, or m g r and the eventual profits. can you tell us a bit more about m g r? so yes, so this treaty is a is having for poor some one of them is ron marion, jeanette degree sources. and this is where lots of discussions have been held until the small hours of this morning and are continuing to day and marines. and i think resources are as of the basis they of the dna, the basis of life. and from these genetic resources we can find. so solutions to issues such as cancer, industrial processes, for example, where you need perhaps very, very high temperatures to achieve a certain result that is, that, that is desired. i'm the research around these resources are happening at mostly from developing developed countries, research vessels. and this research is very expensive. developing countries are

calling for highest share in the potential profits from these resources. and, but we a long way away from that monetization over this knowledge and why these become paid than the products that are for sale. and it's become clear that there is a divide between countries which have the resources to scow, the seas for new products from those who don't, but want guarantees to access resources. why is it important that those resources are equally shared even by countries that don't have the ability to go into the sea and search for them? this is a, the international waters that belong to every one on this planet. now went into the future. and this comes both rights and responsibilities, so that's, that's really the gist of it. all countries have the right to these resources, but there's also the responsibility of stewarding them and sharing them. and what's

at stake for the planet of countries can't agree on treaty in your 1st question. i'm you outline just some of the incredible uses all vom of moraine genetic resources. well, as i said, is only one part of the tree. dan was very, very important part of this treatise or so how can we protect their life? that was the one there feeling before in order to secure a future as it was to reach ocean that can help us to provide the oxygen and the food that we need for the future. and but then also, how can we regulate marine activities so that they do not. so they do not make too much damage in the ocean so that we can continue to enjoy this resources into the future as food as recreation, as called, show benefits. for example, jessica battle from world wildlife fund for nature. thank you very much for your time. thank you. to the philippines,

where authorities are working to contain oil that spilled from a tanker. the ship carrying 800000 liters of diesel fuel sank me or an island south west of manila on tuesday. fishing and swimming have been banned in at least 7 coastal towns as the spillage flo south. a search is under way to find the vessel. the good of astronauts has just arrived at the international space station, their space, ex caps. you'll dogs safely early on friday. a day after launching from florida on top of falcon, 9 rocket ferry to team of 4 and 2, albert 2 americans, a russian, and one from the united arab emirates. they'll stay on the space station for the next 6 months. yosemite national park and california has been forced to shut down and definitely after recent severe weather may to storms have hit the west coast, bringing rain, snow, flooding and deaths. rub reynolds reports waterfalls,

wounds from cliffs into california, is yosemite valley, one of the jewels of the us national park system. months of epic storms have piled up snow with a recent storm dumping 4 and a half meters, the blizzards have forced the park to close down to visitors, but have also filled up lakes and reservoirs and given drought stricken california hope for a return to more plentiful water and all my heres you here and your sanity. i've never seen this much snow and this month water in it. at this time year. in mid february, the snow pack in the sierra nevada mountains was nearly 200 per cent of normal for this time of year. as the year goes on, warmer weather will melt the snow and ice. once the water leaves the park on the mer, said river, it goes in and in the water here in the marsh had river is mostly used for agriculture and the central valley which grows about 80 percent of the fruits and vegetables in the united states. but along with the benefits extreme weather brings

it also disrupts wildlife habitat. this actually was a really vegetated backdrop where butterfly's womb hang out. i don't see any now because the vegetation been swept away. having said that, it created a better breeding process for the new. so again, that's where you know, the winter's eluded and there's a few new thing here looking for law too much snow all at once can change landscapes and ecosystems. recently a huge rock fall was observed on the face of famed granite monolith, el capitan. as human cause, global warming leads to more weather extremes of dry and wet. managers of national parks like yosemite are adapting, we move campgrounds away from rivers. we move roads away from rivers, we're building some campsite at higher elevation. so we're making all of these changes as much as we can. climate change, we'll continue to affect not only the humans who marvel at the park spectacular

beauty, but also the 400 species of mammals, birds, fish, and other animals that make the park their home. rob reynolds al jazeera, still ahead on the news. al, how about this for a casual pass bond? did it help philadelphia come out on top against damage to find out in school. ah, a passion for supporting local communities and pioneering innovative african science and technology projects. college, how beautiful, how glorious, ah, all of us on this planet, not just africa out to sarah fun as a leading biochemist, determined to use his scientific knowledge to serve africa. women make science from the lab to the field on now to sierra

holding women back with a need to talent spot. there is a very small proportion of the racing drivers in the world ah female. and we need to find where they are, pluck them, and then take them, develop their skills, whether that is physical, mental rice craft and help drive them all the way up to formula one. most motor sport experts say it's not a question of strength. more women have gone into space than raced on a formula one track. the g forces at 340 kilometers per hour are all in a day's work for jamie chadwick. now racing in the us indie car feeder series. chadwick said the industry is finally ready to accept female drivers, but it won't happen overnight. ah, there are a lot of innovators in love organizations that already really came to, to make it happen. and i don't have an issue with it being a 10 years on the line as long as we don't look back in 10 years time and they car
