laser as well as the subject disturbance. there's another, there are new guys. the reviews in me and were you calling you the have you like the book? i'm working on mostly if you will get you good the yeah. the i

was going to give you do lose. well, you know, the book and then you get to the, the, the i, the frightening thought that in the european country in the 21st century, you have one man in power for more than 2 decades. and that's exactly what happened in russia. ah lucas shanker had a 6 year head start on total. he came to power and $94.00, put in at the end of $99.00. but he, us, which is in your portal, which is what he did. yeah. that i see it made me get a quote in there. bless that on. yeah. did he day or took some humor. greg teaches

him by the time the book came to power. local shanker had already essentially established for full fledged authoritarian system, invalid and began doing many of the same things with lucas shank over there already done. you know, imprisoning opponents, shutting down, independent media outlets. rigging, elections, motoring, political opponents of time. boris themself. call this the lucas, shy zation of russian. who just was been you had some annoyed yamil. ruskin is bertina me. excuse me. but his indian aunt with numer that assume gallium on day old that the poor brothers computers comp on eurey new mead newkirk. you whom robin the human n, as in by yes, i still not even look leisure of it. by at the moon, we will put your room, nonprofit mutual yost, i yield. so gluttony. cook, he woke, but gives re premier mistake. you couldn't cook now. who did so millennia and look

at me when she stooges to plough 10th of. oh my so dish nickel. yet the suitors will talk to watson. squee. seeley grew up close. thought you was thrown. can you hutch up she worth of it, but i'm still in. you says diana che, yesterday? yes. can you put him bookstore? i think the way he came to power in a way he established his rule. he's also a textbook example of how to transform a democracy to a perfect and solid authoritarian system. didn't happen with a could a time didn't happen with a in a military vanden have moved tanks on the street. it happened gradually. it happened over time. it happened incrementally as muscle leaning while said, you should flock the chicken feather by feather to lessen the squawking. that's exactly how pu, combined about noon. an autocrat is some one who rows by non democratic means. any one who

is authoritarian in style of rule. ah, there are many countries in the world now that have been going through this process of gradual descent from democracy to autocracy. m. and then you look at the authoritarian regimes, egypt, saudi arabia, russia, some of the other former soviet states. and of course, china, most of law and these regimes are even more authoritarian now than they were 5 or 10 years ago. on the 4th day of his motivation as president in may of 2000 vladimir putin sent armed operatives from the tax police. and the prosecutor general service to raid the officers of russia's

largest private, independent media hold on the moon. they tried to bring in reinforcement for the encampment already surrounding the television tower. 2003. we had a parliamentary election. yeah, some difficult to win an election when your opponents are not on the ballot, but he had them when you have a student with them, william. okay. black. when they go back to you know g m a yeah, the, the with the bus bring it. they've got to get back to the bulletin it by the we always did it at them might be budgeting and then we sort of thing still go through the charmaine when the sort of technical exercise as to all details, everyone will don't label your suit opinion that may be allowed to use the label it got don't that you may bully, but i'll give you a little bit of july that was from where you stand. i see your video. they had done everything they could to try to guard against, to be for the security services to make mass arrests to threaten in many cases. to matter. political economy putin is

a very insecure political leader. and he clearly fears that if he has a serious opposition, canada who is able to speak and travel around the country and mobilize that things may get out of control in russia, which is the land of monopoly power and monopoly greed, and a state that is capable of being murderous when it needs to be in the night of february 27th, 2015. forced himself who was most prominent opponent vladimir putin was dumbbell by 5 bullets in the bag. literally in a shout over cronin in moscow. the bar since i was on just a close calling his very close friend,

he was someone to whom i owe everything i've ever accomplished in my political life . it's says a lot about today's russia that this is the price of freedom that you have to pay the ultimate price i i was talking into occasions both times in moscow both times through sophisticated poisonings, presumably carried out by chemical agents tool used by the security services going back to the soviet times, but this method has especially proliferated on to vladimir putin. both times i was in a coma on artificial life support. and dr. so told my wife that had about 5 percent chance to live with so many people in my generation,

in russia, it was sort of inevitable to become really politicized. this did perhaps mark the beginning of the end. the 1st conscious political memory was the democratic revolution in august of 1991 the 3 days that ended the soviet regime. as we woke up that morning in august of 1991, tens of thousands gathered the same brush and citizens, moscow heights who refused to accept dakota, were not armed with anything. i accepted dignity and determination to defend their freedom. and they went into the streets and literally stood in front of the tanks. and then the tank stopped and turned away, poised. this was my 1st conscious medical memory. i was chinese,

although the times yesterday roaring approval of refreshing. the biggest fear of any autocrats is his or her own people. it has been like this throughout history. nothing changes in this regard. it was the moment to perfection. no foreign invasion, no pressure from our side is as dangerous to them as when they see crowds of people on the street with on vladimir futons watch that the many democratic peace revolutions. but none of them so far have been as dangerous, flatter my food as the one in ukraine with russia now is a most aggressive and amy over democracy in the world. the strategy of kremlin used to build the russian world,

and they just thought on the ball at the minute stop and they bought crop shop. it's about the culture. they want everyone to feel that. mm hm. and wants to control some part of this world for they are for they think like empire and ukraine is older. i did democracy, biggest russian speaking democracy. unfortunately to them, of course, for a

they will show of dignity in ukraine was more money when ukrainians choose not to ship with a footboard, they can do them from all of the job to look not looking up the advisor matessa, but it wasn't so poor but a girl. okay. you got on a recorded? no, you won't be the all star. no. when there's not a news alert. so you you order was put into my head cook or open you up a j on when you stored will any pray grow? lou was an issue, but if you skip it through it, i'm supposed to woodson, but he jumped brochure. ah

ah, why you crane thies. so important for kremlin. and it means that it's what important for the world for all these bottles for democracy. geographically ukraine, he's was actually in the middle of this conflict between the worlds between the liberal world liberal democratic and asserted that every year will become stronger. but kremlin, do it's best to, oh, it's resources we to faith because it's impossible to build a russian to certain results with

reinforcement. 3 units of ukrainian food, ukraine already revolt in the war. and it's not only a conflict between ukraine and russian. grain at people is not the i'm and the russian. maybe i believe that it's a war against democracy. it's not a crisis. it's hand mate. she to be sure you will, you will lose it. ah, it will be a loss for all the world. when there are a war politically with your values, principles and institutions, you either have to decide that you're going to defend them and fight back,

or we are going to be a very, very grave risk. soon as i sit here, russia is massing troops on the ukrainian border. as i sit here, russia is mobilizing new military power in the arctic ocean and so on. china is mobilizing its military in the south china sea and bearing down on taiwan. i don't think we should seek a cold war, but it is and period a new period of normative battle over democratic values in the world. and i think democracies of the world have to recognize this and rise to the challenge

with figuring out how to deal with the rise of china is the great challenge of the 21st century. dis gotten more authoritarian over the past decade, state champion and alternative to western democratic capitalism. that gives dictatorships like china's an incredible vulnerability should a day come when that regime is no longer able to provide economic growth. it will no longer have any reason to stay in power and the only choice it will have therefore, if it wants to stay in power, is to use increasing repression and increasing violence against its own citizens. ah

ah. so in 2014 i was us to the leader. we had the massive of civil disobedience movement called the umbrella movement news, news, news by law. people were promised to moccasin autonomy by the chinese government. we didn't believe them after the tenant masika. and under that one party did his ship, so we have hundreds of thousands of blocking the major on may of hong kong, showing a very strong tech know that we are demanding for democracy. and the government should listen to all the voice they saw troublemakers, or even the traders of the country because among

a democratic system in hong kong. so we actually suffered a lot of them at 1st season attacks. i decided to run for election. i managed to win the election at the age of $23.00 and becoming the youngest elected legislative hong kong history. it shows how people want to change. yeah. but at the end of the day, the government, they always can find ways to suppress you. they managed to kick me out of the counsel 9 months after i represent the people in it's a month i went to show,

call it the umbrella bisman. i felt definitely bad about it, but i actually had a mental preparation for that. and i feel like he's actually one of the pest up in our system journey. i at the end of the day, the movement, the not so seat. but it was of very memorable page for history because a b flat, the very 1st massive disobedience movement of our time. i decided to flee out of the city in order to preserve a voice. and soon enough i left the city. i found myself on the want of based off the national security at all. if i were to be back to hong kong,

i will immediately be arrested and be submitted to the national security court. the charges they put on me on the message, the penalty of it is life imprisonment. we are literally facing the most powerful author at heritage in the world. so we are actually facing the vs. goliath battle. ah, if everyone wants to change the country, only thought about that personal safety, then nothing in history, whatever will sort. we know the risks and we accept them because we think our country deserves so much better than, you know, being ruled in a 21st century by a clep socratic sanisha, you will show that we

have to be up and let us submitted, but yeah, i mean, you did it or not you but i did, you know like when i was i me.

ready i think yesterday was the norm from the show

in any i use natural was actually due to the new model. so i didn't teach at the gym by blue here, but it is good for me. i would give him a lot of my work. you know, i look at the daily but in the civil capital you and her sure. no. to give me anyway. she's up there and she never get rustic to me. is my little zillow. you work for your place? we'll give you mine. yep, absolutely. yes ma'am. i

we sure that ukrainians are ready to die for democracy. you fight or that's it. that's it. if you are not ready to fight, you will lose any weight. because the idea that these guys poor jungle shaneka we'll go wild themself. not variable, they dea, it's afraid it. ah, the most powerful lesson i learned in my life is that however strong a dictatorship, how is stronger, providing forces,

however strong and half of the repression. when enough people are waiting to stand up for it's right. they succeed. and i think even in the darkest types, in the darkest days when it seems to be most difficult and most appeal to climb, i think it's very important to remember that you know, so good dissidence. i had the saying that night is darkest before the dawn and i think that is a very important national term. mm oh, [000:00:00;00]

a i meant to describe that math. one from spoken now hotly contested the right to education, divorce, and independence, causing a generational to me to hold an intimate study by traditional grappling the changing times with covenant pattern. and obviously you ah, investigating the use and abuse of power across the globe on al jazeera. ah, he's ready air strikes, pound. the besieged gaza strip following

a military camp, sir, belonging to oak, a san brigades, the military wing of hamis. these military camps, sir emptied military counts. this is the usual routine, i in anticipation of any escalation, ah, these military camps were targeted with the marseilles at 16, a marseilles as well. and i, at the latest was an agricultural land in ha nunez, that's in the southern part of because of strep. i now are the strikes have also targeted the national security building belonging to hamas said the government running the gaza strip here. basically these are the targets that had been pounded with that miss styles in garza until now. let's bring in a summer ham, dan, he's one of the leaders in the hamas movement and joins us live now from barrett.

welcome to the programmer. frustrate. we understand that mediation talks are taking place with egypt and cut hard to try and end this a. can you tell us what progress has been made so far on this one? thank you for having even the old hi. have to say that what is happening as a response from the teen distance regarding the submission of homeless. but other than that, i was really in the jail and the position is clear not only how much all of the distance groups, there wouldn't be any action against any action on the side. you'll have to take a responsibility for this. so in addition, now we're just taking lis supposed to make the needed for the tax against

the put us to additional against if that happened, i think that so, so this want for an issue. otherwise, it says for continuous one being and x and outside of the tragic death of the non what's in your view as the main background cause of this as everyone was on this thing for the students without any reasons. if i wanted to just to, to, to give you one on bus more than 2000000. but as i listed in the last 40 years, which means more than half of the population of the thing is and get sandwich. thank mister. how the senior leaders took the decision of having a honda like i guess this. 5 is or any nations he was not going to the hospital. in fact,

they tell me from before the hospital to the gym in a close to him without any medical treatment without any care for 85, then he passed away and they did not discover that as they fit stuff few hours of the day. so the one who is responsible for this is he was trying to do his best to have his freedom. a and it does not give any any, any kind of 44449, and maybe some other people who say it's the same. the same situation. of course he mentioned how to non done, his wife said she did not want any violence as a result of his death. you agree with that? she said that she said that she did not want any part of the man to die

while protecting or picking or reacting against the be interested in national so much. but she said clearly that the funds will take some days and they would act which i believe it's a very, very important position. she doesn't want anyone to act what she wants homes, which means she's talking about the 5 from generation to generation until then. your question, what do you predict what actually happened now then, how hopeful are you over these mediation talks when we had all been for them? as everyone knows, this position is supposed to start from the important point, which is they have to call to, to,

to make an end for the corporation. and the 1st is to make an end for the test against the, for the team. i'm time will leave it there. thank you very much indeed for joining us as well as some ad one is a journalist and a resident of gaza. he joins us live from then. now, how fearful is the population over the current israeli attacks? and these are devastating weapons being used on yes that's, that's entirely true. and actually using the progression of this interview, i've had some bonding mindset the so much. and then i have to give this interview while and my baby child in the next. sure. if you're in the bombing that could be nearby, it would be a talk to my house as a sort of li, say one of the targets of this with targets. the situation is very familiar, but we have lived and experienced significant increased blood test. by this reason we're plan started doing it densely areas. even with those claims,

this really authority is being targeting of how much committed to resize at the usually claim by the footages until a photo that we are witnessing online. that it's also residential areas then the related areas in which would result in other of casualties on citizens of course. but this is by no means a 1st time that goes to residence a facing something like this. how do all the residents cope with this? it's this is a very difficult question honestly, because not a single human being should be able to cope with the 2nd sense. but for the situation it goes on. in particular, it's very crucial to realize that institutions really is committed. people are not dying because of those bombs being tired of all it. they're dying because of the lack of food and like but unity in precise it's like a whole so it's, it's ready dep cycled. it got a population has been living with

a 15 years. and when those pumping a phone and over goes it's, it's very frustrating. it's very disappointing that still they are not a community fails to a mind body. it's its responsibilities. that is usually those responsibilities are easily given and easily committed it. well, if those are white, can you hear people such as what happened during the vision fresh to ukraine? and it's, it's for me as a resident and as a journalist it's, it's so shameful. and it's so frustrating leading me to feel if you stand for anger and disappointment, whether or not the community reaction which is not new. but we have let our entire life really disappointed, given what you say that you're on the ground, that what do you predict will happen now? the situation is ready, or was it killing the slow killing of hundreds. none in particular, who has been a and i can't even to me. i wasn't, i wasn't child by then. when others, his hunger strikes,

seeking his freedom. and it's, it's, it's a, it's a huge loss for the steam, a communities on the relation to lose an icon for me, i hope for the best that it's not going to result from leading to our new launch for over gaza, but things to be mediated in the best way, also to remind a community and i see the gauge is regarding holding israel accountable for those war and for the last forwarded case, he has been suffering. he had been suffering into solitary confinement. despite knowing of his illness and his diseases. he had been facing and mechanically gas brutality among many other you know, a policies by this re prisoners administration. however, 9 is a name of hungry on those of medicine and prisoners facing day to day. and those harsh policies. and that would result in

a consequence of the death at the end of these actions is some antoine, thank you very much indeed for your time. well, the palestinian prisoner or the ad man had died off the $86.00 days on hunger strike. he was a baker, and leaves behind the wife and 9 children. at nan's lawyer has accused israel of medical negligence. abraham reports from his home town of robber in the occupied west bank where residence and family members are in morning. he endured 5 hunger strikes in the last 10 years of his life, but the body of 45 year old 100 men couldn't take it any more. he was fond, unconscious in his cell, in romney prison, in israel. on tuesday, before he was announced that i then started refusing food when he was arrested on the 5th of february. he was later charged with offences including provocation of violence and belonging to islamic jihad, an armed droop, israel considers

a terrorist organization. what do we do not want any response from those who had failed to put an end to the injustices done $200.00. to these for any occupation forces before the palestinian authority or resistance factions, i say remember the faces of all my children as they are raised to appreciate nothing more than pride and dignity. in 201200, nan became a household name in palestine. the baker had refused food in protest against his detention without charges. his 67 day hunger strike ended with israel agreeing to release him. then again in 2015, he was freed. after the 55 day hunger strike, none of her health. i see the happiness among palestinians flowing in the palestinian pain and the hope for the freedom of all prisoners, god willing. his success inspired dozens of palestinian prisoners to protest against such detentions by going on hunger strikes. the majority of those

individual actions lead to israel giving in to the prisoners demands. in 2020 metal atlas was released after 103 days of hunger strike little asleep. hold on that width. they want to break him and palestinians through breaking him because he is a symbol of resistance and steadfastness. he's a freedom fighter. they want to show that they have the upper hand in control palestinian officials and his lamishia had leaders have condemned his death, saying it was an assassination by israel. people across the west bank have closed their shops and businesses in protest against his death. hunger strokes are one of the few non violent tools left to palestinians as they battle against israel's unfair legal system set within a context of long tongue occupation and a regime of apartheid. for many, he had heard that i'd, nan has become a symbol of resistance against the israeli occupation. they say what's happened to him shall bring attention to the plight of thousands of palestinians suffering in his way to jail,

the main issues are centered, of course, around a compensation and about fairness. and i've joined right now here in front of amazon studios, the great streaming giant which and streaming services are in many ways. at the heart of this strike, i'm joined by marjorie david. marjorie, please come over here. a marjorie is a member of the writers guild of america and a member of the union's board of directors. so why are people out here picketing? like yourself, but we're out here. the simplest way to talk about it is by saying that production budgets of shows have gone up. well, reiter pay has gone down. and that's in spite of the fact that a executives in the large cinema companies have lation thing like 800000000 dollars last year. and writers are not able to pay their student loans or make the rent. and part of the reason is because silicon valley likes to make you

somebody who shows up does the work and then goes home and what are and that's a gig worker. we're not gig workers, were freelance workers in the union. and the union guarantees us both quality work and decent pay and pension and health. well, they don't really like that. they want to get the maximum profit and the best number on wall street that they can possibly get. though when you shake gig workers, you talking about people who are working as uh, roger drivers or bar reset or something like that. yeah. and i think that's generally the way that we're being treated now. the new model on, in streaming is just to have tabs at new saying, seeing the new model, new model and streaming services is to have something called a mini mini. that means you get a few writers together before you've even decided to make a shell. and you pay them the absolute minimum to come up with the entire show in about $6.00 weeks. that does not make for the best show. then the writers are let

go and they don't get any production fees for the show. and they can rent a house, you know, the, there's another problem though that i wanted to address, and that's a i, and i think a, i as a threat to everybody in the business. and i think that's part of the reason that we have the support of all the other major unions. if they can replace human beings who do this work, the economy's gonna collapse. there's just no reason to do that. and the companies refuse to even discuss a i, like we've said that we want improvement sort of make some guidelines around and they go, well, it's too new. we don't know, you know, we can't really say anything now that that's what they said in 2007. and then they started hulu. they said it about streaming itself or to have to leave it there. i'm sorry, thank you very much. a brave new world, a of a i possibly taking even the most talented of the writers, jobs in hollywood and on television. so that's it from here, back to you. romano's law for us there. thank you.

. these are known as holly metallic nodules and cosign co boat, manganese and other minerals needed to palate, rein technology, the rocks of palms from the deep sea through a hydraulic pipe to a shade on the surface. we see our country being a leader of this particular industry, not only as i deriving income to help protect ourselves, but also playing our pop in helping the world transition to green energy. even before the pants are making the cook islands, economy was facing its fair share challenges in a country that is 99 percent voice on agriculture is small scale like out of pacific nations, many young people in overseas seeking high a paint jobs to save money back home to their families for as of 5 cook islanders leave and work in australia or new zealand. a sign of the exodus

abandoned houses in villages across the country. the prime minister says dave c mining could bring social as well as financial benefits by providing jobs that will encourage the population to stay. people go where the money is. so currently, many of our people, our children, or grandchildren. they've moved overseas to work in the industries that pay them more money, such as in the horticultural industry in new zealand. picking apples, well we referred well minerals. these are al golden apples. and if developed properly, we have an opportunity for our people into collect our own apples which are sitting at the bottom of the ocean. is tourism with the resort as well from deep sea mining . the prime minister has boldly claimed his small country could become the dubai or norway of the pacific. we've got in place a financial regime ah, which involves taxation royalties,

so and so forth. and we are certainly looking at the establishment of the sovereign welcome. the cook islands is given out to ocean exploration licenses, to 3 mining companies, which of or set up shop on the biggest islands main street. assign this potential new industry could help this small south pacific nation emerge from the doldrums. with the ra economic risks. the cook islands isn't the 1st nation to try deep se mining in 2011. the mexican government issued an exploration licensed or raises company, but decided not to go ahead with the mining permit. it's now being sued for $2000000000.00 in a legend losses of future profit. the company in that dispute odyssey was denied a mining permit on the grounds. its projects could hom vital total habitat. however, a mexican legal tribunal found the government's refusal was unlawful. someone who

had a similar scenario. because odyssey is a contractor and share hold up of the i see one of the 3 beneficiaries over exploration licenses and odyssey spokesperson told 11 east. it has no legal right to sue in the cook islands. jacqueline evans and environmentalists who help set up the cook islands moraine park. one of the world's largest says it leaves the nation vulnerable. i'm very concerned because actually in the legislation there is no possibility to just decide not to issue a license just because we changed their mind and decided to take up a different development option. so we could potentially be sued for that. are you worried if you don't go ahead with a mining permit that your government could be sued? i think our legislation has a safeguards that are in place in terms of our legislation in terms of our regulations to ensure that we are protected as

a people. one of the things that we made sure that when we embark on this journey, that they're up levels of protection. both from a legal perspective, from an environmental perspective, but also from a financial perspective that these measures are in place to ensure that we operate as it with good sound regulatory laws and regulations. if it's not feasible, if it's not viable, then it won't be done. but it's as simple as that. across the pacific people's livelihoods depends on a healthy moraine environments. the threats of fisheries is a key reason why 7 nations in the region, vehemently oppose deep se mining the with the cook islands and 3 other pacific countries in favor of mining. there are fees, it could defied the region. they are already rifts and the pacific islands at the moment. so if we don't work with our neighbors that could be affected by this activity. i do see this as continuing. rather than looking at the potential of creating a rift,

i would encourage countries to respect the decisions that each country is going to make in regards to any resource in their own jurisdiction. mm. despite the briscoe of in flaming tensions, the prime minister believes deep c mining could help perceiving nations boost their finances. was tackling climate change. the region is one of the worst affected by global warming. bassett, by rising sea levels, droughts and psych, lawrence. we have been that the front line of climate change for a number of years while the world is trying to get our g 20 countries to commit to reducing carbon emissions and reduce impacts of climate change. we are is feeling that he is so we can do our part to help the world, these minerals not only provide an opportunity for income for our country. but it

also provides an opportunity for us to contribute to the world's pushing to green energy and reducing carbon emissions. we're doing them a favor if you like. astray, leon has feel to eat strong economy off the back of fossil fuels like coal. but in a push to co climate change, it's one of the many nations committed to mitzy or a calvin emissions point 2050. 2000000000 electric cars will be needed globally to meet that targets at these green energy festival in sydney is a lot of interest in such vehicles. they've seen mining companies say they industry is vital to be with the batteries required to power these cars. we consider to being raised at these events about the sustainability of recycling

minerals instead of plundering the when you're talking about money, you can only talk about making it as sustainable as practicable. obviously if you're taking virgin material for ground and might use with the 1st time you've got to have an extraction, we will reach the point where all of the materials that go into a battery are in fact, recyclable. many consumers here, a weary of mining minerals from liberty to see. do you think we need to go into the ocean for these minerals? i guess ultimately like what is the ultimate environmental impact? think not. i think we've got enough sort of on the earth alarms outgoing sort of down into the oceans that they would want to, you know, be buying cars that are going to get more delicate environment. we probably need to dig it out of our backyard phones. do you think we need to be going into the oceans too? no, absolutely not. in the fall i knew that that's where the metal is coming from. that would a 100 percent with me or flying that vehicle? was a license

a all the interest in electric vehicles here today. us various fighting. hi, ashley monson. merrick is the national president of volvo group, the largest manufacturer of vehicles in australia. he is company alongside b, m w rana. and volkswagen supports a 10 year moratorium on div c mining. they avowed not to use c bed minerals in their electric vehicles until they environmental concerns admits them. needs to be a dick understanding of the risks to than vitamin before we start any d. c. bed mining and our customers really want to know in kid about where we'd source of material from they want it done in a responsible way. do i tell you all by group believe they can make consumer demands? perverse cycling, and land space mining. recycling is a key focus part of all we'll group. we've made really good progress and tim solve recycling the mosquitoes and batteries today. we actually have

a battery sale at that has been produced with 100 percent. recycle bt to you know, as such as thank high industry does thinking twice about dave. same mining, there's been tag the likes of microsoft, google and samsung. they've all said noise to the mining of the world's oceans, with environmental campaigning globally, as played a huge role in pushing corporations, consumers and investors to reject results extraction from our oceans. you're facing what i would call a notion emergency. we must take action as you must sustainably manage the ocean's resources for the hoover humanity. and the health of for the plant since cause for a moratorium on mining began at the 2022 un ocean's conference. in portugal, a growing list of nations have backed those concerns. this includes major economies like canada, germany, spain,

and france. left house switches until the sooner due to exploit as shown, to go on from the pacific nations who want deep se mining up pushing back. well, the, the g 20 countries are responsible for 80 percent of carbon emissions globally. and i think it's makes a little bit of ah, a patronizing attitude to try and tell us that we should not be doing what we're doing because it may damage the ocean environment. the carbon emissions of all the civic countries put together would amount to a match stick in a forest fire. we're not the countries that put plastic into the ocean. we didn't acidify the ocean. and we're not one of those countries that help radioactive storage or exploded bombs in our ocean. so it is somewhat patronizing, i'd find all even insulting. so to suggest that we would cause damage to the ocean by what we are proposing to do. now pacific nations who want deep sea mining are

also demanding the right to mine in international voices beyond their territory. and they taking bass flies to the international segment authority in jamaica. these united nations affiliated body regulates and licenses mining in international waters. effectively half of the planet's surface, the i say is issued 31 exploration licenses to $22.00 companies to say if osha mining is viable. most of these permits they issued for a vast c trench at me. the cook islands were the biggest known deposits of felt for a decade, the i say has argued overrules needed to galvan osha mining. now, that debate has come to a head in 2021. the tiny pacific nation of newbury triggered a legal mechanism within the i as i, the required delegates to come up with

a mining code within 2 years. if they can't agree by july 2023, b i, as i was, does assessing deep sea mining applications. even without proper regulations, only protections in place, new rule, and the missiles company planned to start mining in the pacific ocean in 2020 full . the early on the south field and a very in marine law expose dr. alina jenkins is concerns at the lack of governance and monitoring to ensure deep c mining is dom safely. there is a lot of work to do to, i have a fully formed mine in code. it is unclear at the my m and who would ensure compliance within the i say, and who would undertake inspections. it is unclear what the financial regime would be. so it is unclear how much if any mining profits would have to be shared. and if so, with whom, all these questions are outstanding, is that problematic? but up until recently,

the only compliance and mechanism has been supp reporting by the mining company some states involved. and that is obviously problematic, given that we're talking about see that mining file show under water, which is very difficult to monitor on the 1st place. daughter jacqueline written a bulkheads numerous papers about the i a say. she says it's a secretive organization that rarely consults openly. i think it's fair to say that the i say is not the most transparent organization. i'm a lot of their decision making happens behind closed doors, and that's despite the fact that states have repeatedly asked for more transparency . it doesn't align with global could governance standards. um, but decisions continue to be might behind closed doors by and large. ah, don't. de jacob is small nations who carry out deep sea mining, like the cook islands, could face catastrophic consequences. under international law, these countries can be financially liable if a resource company causes

a disaster on the ocean, the risk would be quite significant and it would be significant for any country, but in particular, for small economies way. of course, the liability could make up at quite a proportion of the g d p. while economic and environmental concerns had been front m santa in this debate, dr. jacob is concerned, the social implications have been largely ignored. under the i, essays, rose mining in international waters must benefits all of humanity. but she says there hasn't been enough transparent, consultations with the islands communities because he, that mining is a high technology industry. there'll be a lot of automation involved. so it's not a sure that's a bad mining would generate a lot of local jobs. ah, across the cook islands, weekly volleyball matches

a much anticipated events that bring the community together in this village, on one of the countries small islands, i want to find out what the locals think about deep sea mining as they are the ones who will be trying to any job created to go into a government information session, one woman things, mining the ocean, benefits everyone. we will get so many benefits from the old age pension, your child welfare, all those kinds of things that others are not so certain. to be honest, i don't know much about my name. my sometimes i don't really deal with that, which i don't have enough information regarding the impact. the negative impacts from the ocean would need to harvest is i'm still reading upon it. i'm still trying

to find out what the pros and cons that's going to come out of this atlanta smith. one fella island is to understand the impacts of mining, the ocean. she's the head of a local environmental n t o t curry. i would say the cb mining is a very foreign concept to our people. it's a, it's a real west and concept that how and faces would be mind blowing to even think about to educate that local communities. a lot of travels to the sa reaches of the 15 islands that make up this country, that those year old represented the coke islands in the miss world competition, a public profile that she uses to teach them about the possible dangers of the c mining. i feel there's been a big push in terms of what the economic benefits would be from mining and little attention has been brought to what the potential environmental impacts will be. so there's been and,

and balance. and this information being presented to our people. the end goal for us is that all people are informed of our sides and, and they are able to make an informed decision based on both sides being given to them. we need to put the time and effort to keeping our people up to speed of what really is going on, who's heard of climate change? much avalon is work is in local schools educating children who benefit from the frontal of mine. and we're dealing with the powerpoint project, she's explaining the potential ramifications of mining the ocean. so i'm going to talk about more about the new industry that the cook islands might be looking into . and they say mining. so who's head of the c mining? a few of you guys. all right, so what these guys be mining for? anybody want to take a good job also?

yeah. these rocks filled with metal metal that help me feel electric vehicles. they take 10000000 years to form just one. so it's not like we can have these rocks and they will probably back the next year. it's taken a long time. so why do you come here to these schools? what goes a great avenue to start with for information because kids like sponges, say taken information they, they want to understand more about it. and then they actually start discussions back into your household asking mom and dad. you know, what are your thoughts on this? and you know, you'd hope that that discussion will been trickle down into the wider community. so you've got an island wide discussion on that issue. it's important for people to ask questions and to be aware because these are our resources of our environment that we rely on for our livelihoods. being well aware of what those rasa is, as k, atlanta says,

the pre same moraine environments known to locals as the ma wanna is tied to the ancient ways of living. ours is so much ensuring with our livelihood in our culture as being calendar al and she says have relied on our wanna for food. it is embedded in us as kind of people to be custodians, ocean on guardian go valuation so that she can also just keep giving back to us. the cook islands now has to decide if it's willing to reset the ocean environment in the pursuit of prosperity. are we not already getting enough? we're getting so much from our osha now. ocean is providing so much for us in terms of our fishery resources. fishes, our staple diet, as co collins as pacific islanders. and so for us to be almost the guinea pigs. and

this area, i think that something we need to be very aware of the risks we are willing to accept as a nation. throughout my time here in the cook islands, what has been very clear is just telling twines the ocean is in every aspect of pacific life. right now, it's a rare occasion with some of the smallest nations on our plan is making choices with global implications. the some of those mind sites and both really quite large and that pollution that could be caused by it can of course, affects all of us. there's nothing to suggest that say that mining would replace land based modeling. what we might end up with is 2 types of mining happening in parallel with 2 sets of environmental damage. the decisions that are being might,

can have her modifications for decades to come. the c jojo, div c mining company, milan, and minerals cons needs is on phase by the global criticism. he's spending big money search for minerals in the co pilot's though we're not worried, we're not going to have a buyer. we have a particular lifestyle. you know, we, we use cell phones, we use laptops, we, we want to drive our motor vehicles around. and in order to do that, we need metals. and the reality is, is that if we want those metals in the quantities that we, that we need in order to sustain that large stop, we have no choice but to go into into the ocean. after spending $15000000.00 on research. if it comes back and says, significant hob will occur from mining, do you walk away? we walk away, we walk away. that is a risk that we knew from the very beginning. if it comes back and it says this is a no go, we walk away. but we don't want to walk away because a minority group has swayed public opinion to the point that we don't get

a fair opportunity to, to prove out cuz we want to be given a fair chance in a fair shake. with jacqueline evans says, the race to the ocean that is given life to these islands is too great. is definitely a portion of our community that i drank on the idea of riches from from mining. yeah. batch, the global self and the pacific. we haven't had a good track record of extracting materials without logging in our mining. and yet we're thinking that we're going to actually do this perfectly and that we're where again to succeed and they will be no environmental impacts. they will be an environmental impact. the question is, how bad will that impact they when
