more than $100.00 countries have agreed on a united nations treaty to protect the world's oceans. the landmark deal aims to conserve marine life and biodiversity in international waters. it's seen as crucial to bringing 30 percent of the world's lands and sea under protection. by the end of the decade. china's rubber stand parliament, the national people's congress has begun its annual meeting invasion, outgoing premier lay katiano, who is 2nd in command after leadership. team ping says china has armed forces should be more prepared for combat in the face of escalating threats from abroad. and here up to date on the w news, a marion, i haven't seen for me and the entire news team in berlin. thanks for the company. at these places in europe are smashing the records into a bold adventure. the treasure map for modern globetrotters discover some of you will record breaking sites.

come out, he's written a book on the economic significance of the world's oceans. now hines, can we put a dollar value on our oceans? i mean, what are they actually worse than economic terms? yes, we can do. there are different ways of looking at it. if we're live by lucky aside, for example, we can say that 90 percent of all goods are transported on the oceans. globalization would not exist without the oceans. and then we have well yours, that cannot be expressed in monetary terms. you mentioned the oxygen out to express the value of oxygen that the oceans produce. the oxygen of every 2nd priest comes from great trust and the oceans that do photosynthesis, predominantly from bacteria. now you mentioned leaving aside biological aspects of the ocean. i mean, of course, there we're talking about ocean plants, about fishing. what is the economic value of those the, the biggest economics who l. u. s. the food supplied, especially for the poorer countries. fisheries are worth about $85.00 bill young with the low, you and illegal fishing is additional for about $25000000.

they make up two thirds of the world's oceans and play host to most of our planet's marine life, some species. until now, all countries had a right to fish, ship and research in these areas, but it has left the animals and plants there vulnerable. around 10% of monitored species are at risk of extinction. i think that this treaty that will lay the groundwork for creating 30% of the ocean into marine sanctuaries that cannot be fished in is so important. we have to save these creatures. talks were deadlocked for years, mostly over how genetic material from plants and animals found in the high seas should be shared between nations. several important drugs, including treatment for covid—i9, hiv and cancer were developed from marine life. the potential for profit is huge. but no—one knows how much ocean resources are truly worth, nor how they could be split. it's a little bit hard to even wrap our heads around how big and distant these areas are. so if you imagine a big high definition widescreen tv, and if only three or four of the pixels on that giant screen are working, that's kind of o

of course, the average level of the world ocean of glaciers is growing, but everything is not so clear to the melting of glaciers. another significant factor is thermal expansion. that is, with an increase in temperature, the density of water decreases, and the volume that it occupies increases accordingly. do not forget about the feedback system. first, during the phase. here, the transitions from ice to water absorb energy, and this greatly slows down the temperature rise, the more ice melts, the more the temperature rise will slow down. secondly, the reduction in the area of ​​sea ice. in the arctic, the antarctic decides the surface of the ocean, a cover that protects it from the effects of ice air. and it also slows down global warming. in the history of the planet there were epochs of glaciation, epochs of warming. now scientists are recording an increase in surface air temperature and warming of the surface layer of the ocean, ice shelves are melting. the ice fields of the arctic are becoming thinner in antarctica, but there are questions about what is primary in the system of t
