phillips who robin you what you all deserve. like my headquarters here in the also coming up china. that's a mother's target for economic growth, but increase is military spending during the opening session of parliament and iran agrees to reconnect surveillance cameras, not it's nuclear sites that increase inspections, allowing talks with the head of the u. s. nuclear watchdog. plus, i'm jessica washington, near the eastern coast of the island of borneo, where indonesia is scaling up construction of its new capital city. ah, welcome to the program. after 15 years of talks, nations from around the world have agreed and historic treaty to protect its oceans . it took delegates, 38 hours of negotiations to finally reach a deal at the united nations in new york. nissan gentlemen,

the ship has reached the shore. activists are calling the agreement a monumental when currently only one percent of the world's international waters is protected by spring. life is threatened by climate change, over fishing and shipping. now the you and the high seas treaty will designate 30 percent of the global globes oceans as protected areas by 2030 fishing and shipping lays will be restricted. it also puts more money into marine conservation with the e or the announcing more than $800000000.00 this week. it creates new rules and requirements for mining, etc. and the treaty will i be edited before being officially adopted at another session. let's bring in that clar keys are global ocean's lead at world wildlife

fund, australia and joseph brisbin. good. have you with us on the program, mr. clark? i mean, we just ask how this is going to actually affect australia? well, no matter what, now, accounting for, for the world, it provides an opportunity for us to better manage and regulate environmentally collectivity in the nearly half of the planet, the national jurisdiction, the high faith has an implication for rollers all around the world here. and it's failure, it's an opportunity government to today strength leadership on the on ocean conservation . there are a number of steps that are needed for formal adoption and ratification of the treaty. but then we'll need to move forward implementation, including the creation of networks of marine protected areas. and there's an opportunity for all companies, including illustrated, to contribute to that with time, typically politically and also in terms of the implementation of those projected areas, which is so important for protecting that as well. session. also reversing nature

interactions. mr. clark view as well. everybody that we spoke, we talked about the big picture about protecting the oceans. but in reality, the all parts of the oceans around australia do need protection and they need protection. now, even though they're a vast volumes of water, a round your part of the continent, so just give us an idea of the type of marine life that these protection. but it's a great question. i mean, one of the things that we know about marine life is that most space, these are not aware of national boundaries. so i kind of speak like why are shock and total and economically valuable bases like gina, moving in and out of national boundaries. and it's one of the reasons that having a co here global framework, the protection of marine life beyond national jurisdiction is vital whether the or the indian nation. these trading providers with a new way for us to work together

a global level to establish an ecological representative and effective network of marine protected areas and also to better regulate and the impacts of environmentally collectivity said they will stay here. sort of coal reeves and rich marine life on the coast being affected and endanger. just bring us up to speed where we all wave that part of your coastline that has a colleges and marine biologist. so very worried. well, we have existing and crime work for managing rain orders. we didn't national jurisdiction. so we being $200.00 nautical model. most countries and better protecting managing those areas is an ongoing body of work currently globally, there is around 17 percent exclusive economics done to the car be protected. we need to do much more to protect more to protect it more effectively. but what the hi katie does use for the 1st time provided with your global framework for those

areas from shall be on 200 nautical miles. and that accounts are roughly to the ocean that the tool provide a useful compliment for the work of government and national level, including national efforts to bridge more erosion. i mean, the world wildlife fund is a hugely recognizable charitable fund and i'm sure like, over the past 15 years, you've been lobbying your own national government to, to make these moves and to get this deal agreed and signed up to it's taken 15 years and it has yet more hurdles, there's more ratification you might say more translation, more understanding of what the agreement is all about. do you see the potential for problems along the way until it is ratified? again, properly complex process takes a long time to reach this point. we're hopeful that the, the momentum around rejecting the oceans will provide

a diplomatic catalyst for the countries to move, to get more quickly. but you're absolutely right. that there are a seizure of formal adoption and ratification. and then of course, actually the static work identifying and protecting new areas of the ocean and also getting effective mechanisms in place setting, black environment and impact assessment and regulation. so the work is certainly not done, but nonetheless, we are no monthly grateful to tool that the government negotiated and advocates to work so long to get us to this point. it's certainly an encouraging stop for the pep clock from the w. w. s. in australia. thanks so much for joining us from britain thinking. the world's 2nd largest economy. china has set a modest growth target of around 5 percent, one of the lowest in years. economic recovery. following the shock of the pandemic talk the agenda, the opening session of parliament. beijing has also announced an increase in military spending a 7.2 percent. that's that's tensions rise with western powers,

especially the united states. thousands of delegates have converged on beijing to formalize pushing teaching pings unprecedented the term in office, and sweeping changes to his government. at present many difficulties and challenges still confronted uncertainties and the external environmental on the rise. global inflation remains high. the foundation was stable, growth domestically needs to be consolidated, and insufficient demand remains to pronounce problem between you has more from beijing, we had a lower end expectation when it comes to a growth target 20235 percent. seems that we're not going to be expecting any aggressive per growth stimulus policies. instead, china is going to focus on stabilizing its slowing economy. last year we had a more ambitious target of 5.5 percent and trying to significantly failed to hit that achieving only 3 percent and probably a leak chunk of the reason for this was the pandemic and increasingly challenging

international situation. he said that the consumer spending took a hit, investment, suffered, and there was a rise in unemployment as a result. and because of the some policy measures that we're going to roll out of the cut over the coming months include an increase in new jobs. china is aiming for 12000000 new jobs in this coming year, policies to boost domestic consumption and confidence as well as renewed focus on innovation and technological self reliance. and that's also related to some of the challenges ahead. that's primarily ca chung mentioned during his speech, primarily what he said was an escalation in a tense. my other countries to suppress china and chinese firm, no doubt, rest referring to us sanctions on chinese semiconductor and technology. the the queen's top bra says as intense street fighting and the besieged eastern town

sixty's already very high. but as i said, we had and we ways and means to inspect it. weapons grade, uranium is enriched and 90 percent. iran said the finding of 83.7 percent at one of its sites was an unintended fluctuation. that ham on with that is in their report they mentioned particles of 84 percent. there is not enrichment activity at that level. there was no enriched uranium above 60 percent. this ambiguity has been somehow resolved. it all comes at a sensitive time with attempts to restore the joint comprehensive plan of action. the nuclear deal signed with terror on in 2015. then president trump withdrew unilaterally from the j. c, p. o, a in 2018, and imposed multiple sanctions on iran. the aga goes, alicia, we want to continue our relations with the i, a e, a for the agency to be able to perform its duties. regarding yvonne's nuclear

you very much and i'm thrilled to be back at sea back with thousands of great andrew american patriots. unless what you're going to again, for the white house in 2024. he is the man to beat for the republican presidential nomination, and in the halls of the conference. many delegates admitted they won't be swayed by other interesting options. why think there's one guy that can get things done. we, he's proven it and i think we need it back in august. and i think the people, you know, see that if this is any representation of what people are thinking, he's got to have a very nice time and 2024. you think you'll quite easily win the nomination? definitely one the nomination. as long as the field stays big, the smaller the field goes. i think it will be harder for him to win. but if he's one of 10, or one with 35 percent of the vote from the, from the primaries that go into the la general election from the former president, it was a familiar message. america is feeling. he alone can fix it. there's only one president in history or is ever taken on the entire corrupt establishment in washington. and

when we went in 2024, we will do it again. even stronger, faster, and better because he's promised to bill 10. you frontier cities offer a bonus to americans to have children, but a lot of what he says on trade and immigration is recycled from his last presidential run. a former president spoke on the day he released video was january 6th prisoners singing the u. s. national anthem, supporters awaiting trial or convicted of offences after the u. s. capital was stormed 2 years ago. i pledge allegiance to the flag of the and it says, of american go, tom is still the favorite here among the grassroots. and in many of the polls to be the republican presidential nominee, the question is, is that enough to stop others who think they can be president? jumping into the race? alan fisher, i'll do 0. at the see part conference and marilyn thousands of fishermen have been

the water is around here are some of the most christine in the philippines. a number of areas are marine protected, which means even busy is it allowed. but at the moment, as you could see, water along this course is black. 53 year old manuel, i said better has been a fisherman almost all his life. but all he can do now is look out to the sea. fishing has been banned indefinitely, and it's already taking a toll and his livelihood. in that brown while amazon, we don't know how he will be able to make and smith and especially because we have children who go to school, all they can do now is help coast guards clean up the beaches. so they might be able to get to see quicker, but they say the pollution is getting worse by the day. bad mcglenn, it's more. i mean after we clean up they'll come again. especially when the waves are high. we clean none. stop. they come none, stop the government has promised to provide it. but those who are being affected,

amidst the rising di the crazes and said that the climate scales and the global injustice they are unable to keep pace with lightning speed, thick logical change systems as threats from elson navigation, the social production infrastructure and job creation and employment is rising, especially among young people and women are being pushed to the sidelines, formica mask, william and alameda till much delica rewards. there is a common global responsibility to confront the challenges of food security, climate change, the energy crisis, and the debt chrisy job finding solutions is a collective and important responsibility among all countries. there is a moral obligation incumbent upon the friction developed countries to contribute more to assist the least developed countries of europe to overcome the global challenges that we are now dealing with. this is a responsibility and not a favor. either. indonesia is building

a new capital to replace jakarta. the government says the city on the island of borneo will create more opportunities, but indigenous communities say they're being forced off their land. jessica washington has more from borneo. the valley people have lived in typical east county montana for hundreds of years, but life is changing here as indonesia build its new capital city, new centera, and this village is now marked as part of the development. i think i don't have any but all in with all that younger, the act like we don't exist. like bernard, human, they should have talked to us 1st. we accept the new capital, but don't dismiss our rights. they want to build something new by destroying what is already here. bombardment of the island behind your gun. certain i lived in a house that once belonged to her great, great grandparents. now she wakes to the sound of heavy machinery in her back yard, as workers builds an intake reservoir for a dam to serve the new capital. no law. this is the impact of the development

behind me. but we never had to buy things like ward or water or vegetables before, but now we live miserable lives advocacy groups estimate around 20000 indigenous people will be affected. officials say those affected by the new capital project will be compensated fairly, but many indigenous people in east county, montana don't have land certificates, making it difficult for them to have their claims verified. indigenous people told us their land was passed down from their ancestors until recently, they'd never had to prove ownership. the project chief insist their needs are being considered. i certainly have to respect, hold the indigenous people, the local wisdom, the weird darrow living working, and also learning that you'll be part of our development process. that is why we are have some oh, inclusive forum, for example, during drove a lot of dialogue with all the stakeholders in this earlier said, there will be part of our different boss in the future. the government is

emphasizing initiatives like workshops, teaching digital skills and modern farming techniques. threesome, la whitey, and her neighbors who migrated to his kelly mountain in the seventy's say the project is making life in the pocket, better smells. i like if i make, let's be grateful that will be part of the new capital before the new capital plan . we never got any attention because our village is far from town and no one knows its loss among. but indigenous community leaders he booked in, says life was easier before the new capital location was announced. guardy land baggage room, right. and then on his yard, they say it's for, for all a donation, but which ones we don't want to be relocated from our sisters land. the new capital is haunting us and haunting the future. more as authorities scale up construction in coming weeks. this community is increasingly losing hope. jessica washington outers here in east cali mountain on the island of borneo.
