As i said, almost 820000 ethnic albanian population a flight to neighboring menu as a whole bunch of it has moved from one kennedy tens of thousands of people who lined up the square with all that was they could carry with them a people who were in the cars were chewing up to leave outside and, and leave the city. But people who are here or waiting for buses for their relatives, for others to come and take them with them as they did not believe the assurances that were given by the other badge on the government that they would not be a prosecutor here in the town. Center, if i go quiet, youd be able to hear nothing. There is absolutely no one who is left to. I dont care is carried out as strikes talking take a suspected curtis on group and on the rock of a Suicide Attack on a government building and on correct the code is dont work as policy o. P k. K has claimed responsibility. The and terry minister says to people who are responsible for the attack, one of them was killed on the same while the other live himself. So itd be as present alexander village. It says accusations of a troop build up on costs by his board is our accounting pain of lies. Tensions have been at the highest and he is often lost. Hes gotten baffled between ethnic sub fighters in cost of offices and at least the same people have died in spain, in a fight at a night club in the south eastern city of mercy, emergency services, a warning that the death toll is likely to rise. And at least a 100 worship posts and know if the eastern mexico been injured off the roof of a Church Collapse during baptism celebrations with her, as you say, emergency terms. Teams are trying to rescue 50 others who have been trapped under the rubber. Those all the headlines. These continues, hey, on out there, off the one. 0, one east. And dont forget, you can keep up on our website out. Is there a dot com . It is time for the west to replace the best option for the ukraine watch award. Then what, what those options look like. What is us strategy when it comes to iran for almost 200 years, americans have generally been stuck with 2 political choices, but cannot ever change. Because it comes with cook us politics. The bottom line, the largest ocean on our planets, could soon be the size of the next big mining boom. Across the pacific results, companies and island nations, a scaring the div sees for vast on types minerals. Mitchell is that good power, green energy, and reduce the most reliance on fossil fuels. Were a country thats been blessed with this wealth that sits and l ocean. Its no good sitting on the surface and being afraid of the unknown and not willing to go down and find a home to one of the Worlds Largest marines centuries. The cook islands is considering deep sea mining, and its christine was, is the tiny pacific nation hopes that of bring jobs and wells to region raffling with climate change. Thoughts environmental as via osha mining hom, delicate underwoods an ecosystem that scientists noise lead to live out sick doesnt make sense to me to solve an Environmental Issues by creating a new environmental issue in a to fantasy investigation. 101 east examines deep sea mining is dividing the city the weather. Want to lounge on golden beaches or enjoy the restore cleanable. So the cook islands is a drain destination located between the billings and the united states. Is a popular simple cruise line is traversing the Pacific Ocean. Best tourism is the main money spin up to this nation of 15000 people. Fuss at the cook islands that wants to be a pioneer of the very different industry. Deep sea money, the at the main points, island is a blessing, a voice that could bring unparalleled wells to the nation. The orange lab results company, lawanda, minerals. The Research Vessel will exclude the date, say the message was pretty cool. The Green Energy Transition and sustains us. We will protect it. In 2022 Prime Minister mach browns governments awarded underwater exploration licenses to 3, where use those companies, including milan and minerals. Over the last 10 years, weve been preparing laws. Now, regulatory authorities, agencies towards building a sustainable and responsible see bid 6, the benefits of apple gallons. People as the varieties count, they invoke the name of the boat, which translates to rainbow ocean. Theres no breaking of champagne photos here. She is placed with an eco friendly option. The cook cannot see by what is the model. The model of the Prime Minister is optimistic about his nations new direction. Driving into the world this morning, i saw the pros, fine or outside, and that ship represent prosperity with tourism. This pennsylvania represent these 2 Different Missions were on a journey of discovery. We see our country as being a leader of this particular industry. The 1st thing to those pages this morning that was a lot of talk about protecting the ocean that also are at home to sing the minerals i just want to is a really possible today. By the next day, im going to get a glimpse at home deep sea money. Weve been granted exclusive access to the votes night and points 3 days it say hey, we got to prime minnesota is also coming along to the a team of 19 these see close to a month policy . Yes, youll kevin awesome. Showing me the volume sees milan and mineral see your me the site to the got a piece of fullness of african navy engineer. And donovan minus now they say explore is today the size of a new frontier of mine a without a doubt. You know, the world is looking at going to green energy. Its looking at transitioning to alternate sources off of powering out various equipments. And in order to do that, we need Critical Materials and critical metals. This is the start of and locked in the potential of these resources on the ocean. The tonight, kansas team is dropping of probably into the water to calibrate the sewing or equipments. So we using to mask the Ocean Exploration license amount, mulanda meters to Trial Technology and take samples. Missiles can be sustainably distracted. That its not a green lights to mine with no, it guarantees. Its a risky 5 you Treasure Hunts in one of the least explored places on a. We look at spending. Probably when weve done probably a 1200000000. 00 off of funds. Doing all of this initial web actress box. Should we prove that we can do it . We can do it responsibly. We will make that money back and more so our survey area is up here in our exploration license area on the captains bridge. Hun shows me the companys exploration area spanning 20000 square kilometers. These pockets is less than one percent of the quick islands territory contains minerals was out to 10000000000. 00. In this region on the sea floor, we estimate that they are roughly 500000000 tons of these nodules laying on the sea floor. And within these nodules we have predominantly manganese, cobalt nickel cop uh and then the railroads. And these are laying on the ground just those poly metallic nodules, say that 5 kilometers beloit on the ocean, full. It looks like a couple of road with all these little modules packed density against one another across this entire area. Unique little little golden nuggets. This is this, the goto oil of the 21st century. I definitely think that these black nuggets are going to be an essential part of our ability to transition to what we want to do at the end of the day. Without these we, im not going to be able to achieve our goals and objectives. You can see some good, good structure around here. The milan and Minerals Team relies on solely to a mapping to fine and no jewels. So that still in bed with the same from the island. Does it go down . Correct . Yes, ponzi showing the Prime Minister, what theyre looking for. Floods, soft areas of the sea floor, with the biggest deposits of know, choose a found these map. So im valuable for us in that regard that we can see all the flat areas and thats what we can do on focus. Only 25 percent of the world sea floor has been maps and the Prime Minister says deep sea expiration is only possible with the help of large Mining Companies. What were seeing now is like a spotlight being shined at the bottom of the ocean to see what it looks like. Something that nobody seen before. We wouldnt be in a position to acquire the skills, the capability of the technology to provide us with this level of mapping, right around the islands. We just wouldnt have the critic side, the bulk of Scientific Research is being done by Mining Companies. And theres not enough independent analysis. The environmental daughter will be coming from your company, and you obviously have a vested interest in mining. How can we be source . And the data is independence. We are collecting the data and we have a vested interest in the data. Absolutely, but as far as us changing the dates or the data being tainted note while doing all our work, we always have inspectors on board confirming that what we are doing is done. Transparency to the analysis is being done by the scientific community. Its not being done by our employees, the work is not being done by our people. We have a month to over the next 2 years to do 20 different scientific studies. Each of those studies is being done by eminent universities and, and scientists around the world. I think if anything people should be strolled about the fact that we are doing such good stuff. Impressive, what isnt the only nation seeking this very treasure searches on the way across the entire Pacific Ocean . 3 of the island nations new re care of us and tongue a are also considering deep sea money. Working with newberry canadian minus the missiles company is much further along in his exploration the plans to san minding in 2025. And hes trialing a Remote Control machine. Then many deep sea Mining Companies who used to collect snow jewels. The technology is built to withstand the extreme pressure. 5 bells amazes below the surface. As it ranges, the sea floor collects the nodules and settlements pumping it back to the ship in a hydraulic operated part. On board the no jews passed through allowed see the water and settlements is returned to the ocean and the rocks taken to land for processing. People assume its really difficult, but it is fairly straightforward. And the best analogy to use is one of a vacuum cleaners where you have the nozzle at the end of a pipe running across the flow, lifting the digital for the flow and traveling up that 5 to the vacuum cleaner and being collected in the bag. Thats the analogy i liked to use to explain the process. Starting at the bottom of that process are essentially trudging along the say, floor and taking the hod substrate from the bottom of the ocean. And surely that will have some effects. Of course, what we do has impact that is a reality. What we need to do is we need to measure the expense of that impact and the home that, that impact has, and look at whether that is acceptable in terms of what the payoff is. In other words, what were getting back. Were literally just picking them up and bringing them up to the surface. Harmony is being done, but the home is, is, is manageable and is acceptable in context of scale of what we are doing. Boss, the technology is nose full for these undercover, for each acquired by Environmental Group grain pace, choice test ranging carried out by the missiles company in the Pacific Ocean in 2022. The settlements should be going deep into the war. So instead its being discharged on the surface with the majority of marine life seats and investigation by the authorities and International Experts found no environmental. Hom was caused by the spiel. An incident has been shown out of context and has been used to drive negative sentiment against the industry. And what with the Metals Company doing, they were out there with a prototype system out, they proving it and testing it. And as we know with prototypes systems, and this is, you know, the 1st time and they are going to be problems that we encountered. And what happened with them was a piece of machinery and had failed. The rest of the story that is not told is that the minute that was noticed, the operation stopped. And what they did was they went back to the footage and found out what caused the problem and fixed it. How much of a risk is a spill . Lets see, a spell is always a risk you know, to, to sit here and say will never have a spell. Is, is, is untrue. Well have a sample. Is this Technology Good enough or does the need to be some advancements . Its good enough to get us started. Once weve started and weve learned small and we have more knowledge. We will go back to the drawing board and redesign and optimize what we did. First timer on sunday nights to tell him not only the pacer and pastor and the missile. I asked the Prime Minister why he wants his country to be the guinea, pico, please industry, given the risks as a Prime Minister. As a leader, do you have to be pragmatic when it comes to dave . Say mining pragmatism is, is by nature necessity. When you live in a small island state, were not a country that has very limited resources. We have this economies of scale that work against us in terms of getting what we want and what to achieve. So we have to be pregnant and we have to make both decisions sometimes. And we have to lead the way in order to get to where we want to go and not just follow the the cries of the people me as the leader of our country. I have to look at all opportunities that will enable that people to have good, comfortable lives. I mean, i think for everything that we do, there was a risk and its making appropriate judgment on what we consider to be a safe spots. Is the environmental home caused by mining really manageable . Thats hard to answer because scientists know very little about the tape, say. They estimate only 10 percent of marine life in the depths of the Pacific Ocean has been discovered in new zealand. The National Institute of water and Atmospheric Research is home to some of the worlds leading mines in marine science. They really dont. The american clock is an expert in steve c, biology and a study the impacts of underwater mining. As you can say, your thousands and thousands of specimens, respected by conservationists and the Mining Industry for as pragmatic, no nonsense approach. Hes advise the cool guidelines on how best to conduct the deep sea mining tilt. The clock is also one of the few scientists whose ventured into the ocean of bees. Well, the deep sea is a very fine environment, as, as we see it, its touchy dark. Its also cold. Around 2 degrees celsius is animals, a holly, addicted to devise conditions. What you have among the many specimens here of these lives that live among the nodules on the ocean floor. They have by to scavenge is without them the deep sea would be polluted with dead carcasses. The wriggling creatures also to pray for large animals in the Pacific Oceans food chain. Whats the effect when a deep say not to collect to come . Sorry. So these williams are going to get sucked up in the direct path of the collector is immediate, physical damage and mortality along these animals i need move very slowly like kind of get out of the way of a, of a collect the machine even even if i know its coming to clocks is possibly the biggest threat to dc life of the underwater sand storms whipped up during the drenching the see bit. It can called the, the feeding of rushes of animals that have living above the sea floor itself. And then when it says pick on the sea floor, depending on how deep it is, it can bury animals and also kept the previous settlement. So that uh, oxygen, for example, mano pamper, penetrate as easily as it could be. For is right. There will be mortality caused by, by the said implant, be sure to sign just have to grateful what is trying to quantify how many of those animals likely to die the most is around the co highlands are really important. Breeding ground and migration versus a humpback whales. The clock is worried that it could be affected by the loud clanking noise created. We know it was a pump to the surface through the still puts miles uh, will recognize as being quite sensitive to certain frequencies of noise. And what does nixon conduct truck sound . So were talking about that noise generation by the, you know, geo clicked on the rise of pipe was discharged pipe extending over thousands of kilometers distance in areas with us pointing and migration rates with im moving from this pointing grounds and the pacific islands, for example, down to the inc talked, it was for, for feeding. So its gonna be very important to, but not going to be generating noise in the frequency range that will completely mask the, the ability of animals to pick up their own interest basis communication. Ringback while the impacts of ocean mining on moraine life is largely on 9 thought the clock has studied c beds. When mining has been trials and found recovery is minimal. The ability of the to recover appears to be very, very long. Studies 50 is off to some initial disturbance shows the components of the animal communities have not recovered. The teases deep sea mining is viable if its carefully managed, comparing the ocean floor to rain forest. If we wanting to come down some forest to allow funding, well, who the culture has an impact . The key question for scientists is how much can we remove . How much impact can we have on the original 1st, before we start to affect the structure of the function . One of the management responses to certainty is to make sure we, we start small. We dont just suddenly say to a large number of contractors go out there and so you buy its covering more than 70 percent of the us surface oceans play a key role in absorbing compet emissions that they face a roughed of growing precious. This plastic pollution. This over fishing this, i should a certification. If theyve seen monica say, its just going to compound all these issues. Its why Jacqueline Evans believes the world should pause dave c mining for decades. Shes one of 700 International Sciences and moraine policy experts who signed a petition cooling for tammy. Im oratory him on extracting minerals from the ocean. Why did you do that . I think that its a really good way to have an agreement between people that are supporting mining and people that are not holding mining to just falls and collect the data to give us a better idea about the kind of impact that money who hits the jacqueline is taking me out, snow cling to showing me what shes so passionate about. Protecting in 2019 to cool kyle into one, the prestigious environmental award. The goldman prize you recognize towed cross roots campaigns. The lead to the establishment of one of the Worlds Largest marine was the quote them arrive on one of the colors, the entirety of the cool islands. Domestic forces prevents commercial fishing within 50 miles of land. Our impact is a normal, it goes way beyond the horizon. Its about 5 times the size of the state of california. And we have wells, we have totals. We have seem to have to know. We have all kinds of marine animals here in these. Christine moses, the clarity is a strode and airing. We swim amongst karl fish and cousins. I just love it here. I love the faithfulness of staying on the water. She argues, mining isnt the only path to prosperity and theres money to be made all day till the ocean fits her as they come to to see the queen healthy korea. Its really important for tourism, but also in terms of val um, subsistence fishing and how the industrial fishing that we have. Theres a lot of economic benefit to having a beautiful printing environments. The marine pod made the cook islands, alida and conservation funds with dave c mining on the horizon. Jacqueline says the nations refutation is at risk. We feel like the governments rushing into it. Theres been a lot of government propaganda for deep sea modeling and the kinds of tips the my name per se, simmering pack is pretty much not going to be taken seriously. Im in already internationally. Its uh, its considered a disappointment because of the plans that the government has announced in a small country where the government is the biggest employer. She says most people are afraid of speaking out against theyve seen mining. Jacqueline claims her views meant she was forced to leave her position, managing the maureen park. Basically, it was because i had recommended that we, we adopt the tenure more trim among other concerns. She complaints, the governments was relying solely on data provided by results companies 15 asking for independent research to be done, but it just was not a popular suggestion. They felt that i was on the same page as them, so they decided to let me die. Whats Jacqueline Evans fi because of a stance on tapes . Imani, i believe the position was advertised by the Department Head and a new person most suitable for the next phase of the marine park project was appointed to take on the role all the manager of the but i want to office internationally 700 marine scientists have signed a petition for me are as far as on tape, say, mining, should you be listening to what theyre saying . Its all very well for people to jump on the bandwagon if you like. But what were hearing is, is more a rhetoric of fear rather than statements of scientific understanding. What we want to do is based our Decision Making on science, on data, on evidence. And the only way to do that is to carry out exploration and ask kind of deep see if youre on a journey of discovery. Is there not a need for a moratorium . Absolutely not. A moratorium would hold and slow down exploration initiatives. These journeys are not done freely, they cost a lot of money to undergo expiration. We want to be able to understand out ocean house helps. We dont want someone else to come and take that knowledge and understanding. We want to learn it ourselves next week. 11 east examines the push to hide this acidic nations facade. Theyve seen mining invoices on the territory. We travel from Remote Island to electric power shortage to examine the social and Economic Impacts of extracting minerals. Biggest ocean. The.
