Think people not really follow their instructions the shit. Am i happy about it you know do whatever we need to do. Here to stop the virus and dont think the household things or the fact is that it can go away with. Other people on from the house on but i cant so sure as with bands such as me make sense nationally in the u. K. Infection rates are going in the wrong direction daily new cases number in the thousands with experts saying the true figure could be in the 10s of thousands and after Prime MinisterBoris Johnson admitted Testing Capacity isnt good enough the Health Secretary not for the 1st time appeared to blame the public when he appeared before parliament the challenge is that demand has gone up faster and they can say on the other side no its not what they call defy the facts and the most important thing for everybody across the country to hear from all of their elected representatives if they are interested in helping this country get through this pandemic is that if you have symptoms get a test if you dont have a sentence please do not come forward to get a test unless youre specifically. Britains far from the only european nation worried about rising infections and deaths thats prompted the World Health Organization to issue a new warning to governments not to reduce quarantine periods from its recommended 14 days in the spring and early summer we were able to see the impact of strict lookdown measures. Efforts over a 2nd phase as a day off. In june cases hit an all time low the september cage numbers however should serve as a break up call for all of us. These numbers reflect more comprehensive testing it also shows a lot of ingrates of the mission across the region in italy the Alitalia Airline is now trying to domestic coronavirus free flights per day passengers are offered a covered 19 test at the airport before flying the results come within a half an hour only those tested negative can fly here in the u.

For millenia the oceans lay outside the dominion of. His states influence extended only 3 nautical miles from the coast a little further than a cannonball could travel. But then humans discovered the ocean floor. And the largest land grab in weld history became. A mother. Im tom a fly and im in the bedroom of rodeo should in the north atlantic twice ive sold it twice in small yards and also crossed in a bottle bug in. With him when i lived on rockaway in this some people call a Survival Capsule i call it a wooden box its a house like this is my house this is a one man house i lived with a 40 days it did the job it kept the window for me i was warm and dry but dont forget im right on the top of the cliff its just straight down to the city. Its home the clean is one of the u. K. s greatest adventure has he crossed the atlantic. 5 times the 1st time in a globe. Once in a vessel shaped like a beer bottle for his latest trip he sailed from newfoundland children in the smallest sailboat ever to cross the atlantic. And. Soon mclean will travel to new york in a boat built to resemble a whale. Boat was more than an adventure however. It was a mission a mission done in service to mother england. Somebody said about st kilda and they go in there but so the rock or rock was right there in the middle of the atlantic and there seems to be a dispute who owns it and i thought why if i be a 1st civilian to reside on rock call and that would help the case it wasnt quite so good the wind carried there. They closed in without it. Is very dangerous there now you can see how lumpy is quite dangerous. They were far from ok after that momentary triumph but then the strong work ethic the big way down i go down there was 54 straight down into the foam flies helplessly into the sea. The landing at 1985 cost told him to clean his knife. But he eventually made it to safety and flew in london and getting to the top was only the beginning however Great Britain willing to claim the law because an island it. Happened International Law stipulates that the time must remain there for 21 days. When the boat turned to go home and leave me for the 1st time. I was glad to see them go i was on my adventure im here with iraq and the birds im happy to be here of the chiefs are making history. Gesture to remind those who may challenge it that brittania ruled these waves. For the u. K. It was about more than just claiming a lump of granite in the ocean the real objective was to secure the resource rich a oh yeah oh around local the islet was to play a key lonely in british territorial claims. The main players in british Maritime Claims work in an office on the south coast of india and. Its a fascinating area of work to do it its theres not often somebody working in oceans signs that you do get the opportunity to mix both the legal on the technical aspects and see how they Work Together almost in order to develop something on behalf of the state. We have United Kingdom to the east and as we further west we passed the rock all rock itself onto the local plateau the land area of Great Britain is 240000 square kilometers the area that the u. K. Have submitted for the hard rock all area as 163000 square kilometers. Would be to. My main reason to go to rockall was to inhabit it and if i stayed in International Law less than 21 days im only visited i had to stay more than 21 days and by staying there more than 21. 00 days that in fact 40 days it wasnt iraq its an oil and i made it a 9 and. Local. For the u. K. To claim the Territorial Sea overwhelmed alone it had to prove that it was inhabitable yet the eyelids could be easily confused with any walk and tom stay was controversial so controversial that the u. K. Had to put another territory into the mix st kilda the archipelago increased the british crowns claim but 160000 square kilometers st kilda has been deserted ever since its 36. 00 remaining inhabitants left almost a century ago but humans lived there once and they could live there again at least theoretically. What does the u. K. Want with all this water. Do you mean by owning a piece of the ocean. The idea of the ocean has changed over time. Mums from the pros to show how the rulers and their cult talk of his mum saw the world and what they flew to an ocean is very much sure what was important to them and most of. The 41492 before columbuss journey to the americas the ocean as a broad portion of the worlds surface as a major space that figured into our sense of the globe really wasnt there in the middle ages the world was thought to be a single large landmass a veritable mega continent without ocean. So the ocean really plays no role at all except to show a limit the ocean shows the limit of society and shows the limits of actually of gods kingdom of the. Them on earth to the east beyond the Ocean Clay Eden lay that the Promised Land lay heaven beyond that there was really nothing baptist. For most of Human History the oceans were projection screens for the imagination of an unexplored an irrepressible the a mighty barrier a place of terror. Despite its dangers the ocean became more and more important over the centuries. As global trade developed merchant fleets transformed the oceans into vast shipping lanes people from past centuries would never have dreamed of laying claim to the ocean for them it was a blue expanse formed with dangers and obstacles that needed to be overcome a sailors journey to foreign lands. And of course the 2 dimensional that is ironic because the ocean is so material a 3 dimensional you know we you step into the ocean you sink. Yet in the 19th and 20th centuries something happened that changed our idea of the ocean for ever the seabed became a place of exploration in 858 as the transatlantic cable was being late engineers noticed variation in the oceans could this be evidence of undersea mountains the 1st Scientific Study of the ocean floor was undertaken by the german survey vessel meteo in 1925 scientists today like can be expedition to columbuss 1st voyage which began the exploration of a towering incognita a previously unknown land over the next few decades a picture of the undersea cosmos gradually emerged. Suddenly kind of developed this new awareness of the seabed of the underneath of course this itself is also kind of a fantasized idealisation of the ocean because youre imagining that you can see through the water column the water is missing from here the fish are missing a subtle way the topography of the seabed is quite literally brought to the surface. Of the discovery of the seabed radically changed our idea of the ocean the ocean was no longer just water it was 1st and foremost a land mass a vast expanse that belongs to no one but that could perhaps be seen just. This man had a groundbreaking idea. The president of the United States harry l. Truman a man who was imploring war reaching out any other man on earth. How he truman asserted his countrys influence with nothing claiming this ocean was a territory of territory under water that could be annexed just. Part of the United States. Enormous quantities of oil the found in the gulf of mexico but the oil lay beyond the 3 miles island in which coastal states could exercise their song rights truman wanted more he wanted new term a story for the night it states the superpower needed more more oil urgently oil reserves on the mainland no longer sufficed. Our dependence on these minerals and Raw Materials is so fresh and our supply so uncertain that we are moving as rapidly as we can and by every means that ingenuity can devise to expand facilities to step up production find new sources develop substitutes and bring in increased supplies from foreign sources. After to 2nd world war in 1045. 00 then us president truman issued a proclamation. Declaring that the Natural Resources in the. Seabed and subsoil belong to the United States of america. In convincing the world that the american president not only had the will but also the right to incorporate undersea territory truman used an argument that built on a recent discovery some areas of the seabed oceanic others a continental. The us had to have this kind of basis of a jew logical link between its land mass and the land mass submerge and lead to its territory. Andy an idea of the geological Continental Shelf is the basis which the u. S. Saw as. A legal basis as well they had to finally end the bases that they found most convincing most of course science. But the. Other big at c. N. N. Not so cursed by ever what you think was there should be there. 15 years or the christening years. Of in this industry are bite again. The argument that the continent continues on made up the core of trumans justification this was the more convincing because the historical events that legitimized this theory which by far into history. Possibly far. Entire do if keep this. Time in true terms. The korean talent left by mehdi army on minimum. Will feed your cat is a geophysicist at the Alfred Baker Institute in play my husband alfred vega noticed that the coastlines of north and south america seems to fit together with those of you up and africa like pieces of a puzzle. Was indeed carnegie lookee in differ on fonz i. Was just a comment im on to some. Pianist. In record scientists today believe there was once a supercontinent that at some point began to drift apart in the early 20th century this idea seemed completely preposterous. This being water sanitary. It. Could turn. Out a democrat kind of supervise and. This is on the continent on them in the atmosphere to nothing when only outs work and where thats africa the american doctors and indian. Muslim the fungus. And disease to cure the present. Indian see its here. To cost us as the con invite not. That. These are but i hear thats where the quote entire. One dont hear home is the only planet delegates has a. Up or kunder that condemned. To form yet on this have to be done not evil sausan of the feel of. Gospel. They did it this submerged land mass is really a prolongation of your land territory you know its who can argue that this would not be partly right territory. The more people became aware of large quantities of oil and gas in the ocean floor the more coastal states tried to claim it for themselves they called for an International Law based on the geological definition of a Continental Shelf yet many states resisted the earths history has not favored each country equally to brushless learned how to answer by can share. Bansemer and us as we buffy are not part of. Africa theyre quite a particular made up artist dozens i didnt want him harding Context Group would have preferred. To balance out the geological differences that emerged over hundreds of millions of years the nations of the world abandoned the geological definition of a Continental Shelf in favor of a Legal Definition that applies to all coastal states uniformly the godless of its undersea geology every country is granted a Continental Shelf extending 200 nautical miles out to sea its exclusive economic zone. So these did they be of these 200 as a magic number became acceptable to many states at the conference but the broad margin states did not accept this because of course they were as far as theyre concerned they would come out as a loser and its not just the us and it also other states such as canada russia is also one of those states so they were not willing to give this up. Ultimately states with a wide Continental Shelf prevailed and a clueless with momentous consequences was quietly appended to the law of the Sea Convention the clause in question is article 76. 00 it says that the state can lay claim to his geological Continental Shelf in addition to his legal Continental Shelf provided in the state can supply data demonstrating the shelves outer limits within 10 years. The time limit triggered a veritable wound on the worlds oceans and the largest Land Allocation in world history. For the 1st time in the history of humanity a land grab occurred based not only more on. Traditional forms of cholera but rather on geological findings. Scientists have a special role in the case of the ocean because the physical difference isnt as obvious its not as experienced if youre on an island detention oh youre on an island you can experience where land meets water i have no idea where the seabed ends you know where the Continental Shelf fans and you know nobody does from every day observation. So i would like to explain you now actually article 76. 00 of the convention actually works and its all about natural. Laws so we have. Actually learned continues underwater or Something Like this if we thing is decided by the point where the continental gradient off at the foot of the continental slope this spot is used to calculate the shelves outer limits the states can choose between 2 formulas it can extend its borders 60 nautical miles or 100 kilometers from this point seawards tran be more advantageous however to use the sediment thickness because the settlements on the mainland to the states as a territorial claim to this part of the seabed the thicker the layer of sediment the better according to the thickness of all the Continental Shelf extends until the point where the thickness of sediment amounts to one percent of the distance from the foot of the slope. Because no one only chests understand geological data only thing. Determined to follow the state so when winds extend over the election it paints a commission of banks to respond to deal with the Global Community recognizes states of suffering bullet is involved 1. 0 nonsi beside thousands why mickie the.
