The shrinking of the arctic is open to new maritime routes and large oil and Mineral Resources that strong rival powers such as russia, china, and the us to compete for strategic influence. On friday, washington declared that it will name an ambassador at large for the arctic region. Nato secretary general has warned of russias increased military capacity and chinese growing interest in the region and stopped burg. Comments came a day after his visit to the arctic, where he met with justin trudeau, the Prime Minister of canada, one of the 8 arctic nations. A Mark Jacobson is a researcher at the Danish Institute for international studies. He explains why the arctic is of strategic importance for the u. S. Russia, on the one hand increasing, then tara kept abilities and macros, koya and news her based on the short of plans. Now they can actually reached the base. So that means that it becomes more important for the us to protect the National Security against russia. Because if you look at the globe on the top of the globe, if you sitting washington, the, the, the, the, the shortest route between washington and moscow goes by, the north pole. Thats why its become more strategic important to, to the us. And that is why we also see the important appointment of us and that last fall for the 2 firms. The us is the last of the 8 article states which, which did not until today have an, an actual optic ambassador. So, so what it does is that the level all the a space where when they need either by laterally or in the arctic cancer, which unfortunately is on, is on port right now. And so why, why you have Regional Military rumble. Its even more important to georgia have, have, did diplomatic exchanges to avoid prevent that some misunderstand things up, perhaps mind dispute turn into some, some the major conflicts and get and get out of hand. So, but its both the appointment of the, the article or the decision to have a u. S. And past that large for the arctic is both because of security. But its also the cost of commercial interest and also because of Climate Change with which is a very important issue for the, for the buying administration. Because the, the optic is now warming 4 times faster than the global average. So the region experienced both new risks, but also new opportunities and cost of all have agreed to allow Free Movement to cost a share border, settling a dispute about identity documents, you negotiated a deal designed to reduce pensions at the border. It says, serbia will abolish its entry, exit document, the cost of id, whole. This cost of has also agreed not to introduce the document for serbian id. Whole. This process is named 20 new cardinals, and a ceremony of african appointments include more candidates from africa and asia. As the roman Catholic Church pushes to become more diverse, and as adam rainy reports, those cardinals will eventually play an Important Role in choosing the next pope. Ah, in placing the ceremonial duke kept on the head of 20 new cardinals at the vatican, pope frances deepened his hold on the church. 16 of the new cardinals joined the ranks of those under 80, who will pick his eventual successor when he dies or retires. Francis is now named nearly 2 thirds of the eligible electors who will choose the next pope. One of the new cardinals is Bishop Robert mcelroy, a 68 year old progressive from san diego, california. By elevating this lesser known clerk, france is passing over other high ranking clergy in the u. S. Who say catholic politicians who support abortion rights should receive communion. Mcelroy supports frances his work. I make the church more inclusive, and i think its important to reach out to groups. And this is what the po possessed us to do. Who have been marginalized, who have been kept out of the mainstream. Whether that be because of the lives of economics or of the race, nationality or their gender, or of sexual orientation. Many, many of the new cardinals come from the global south. An area of priority for francis, just for countries are now represented in this class of cardinals. For the 1st time, mon go paraguay, singapore, in east timorese. It is clearly Francis Church now more than ever. But that doesnt mean the next pope will be in his mold. If you look at the story of the Catholic Church conclave, so the moment when it hope or get elected are pretty much surprising. Often a reformer pope is elected from a pretty conservative conclave. As was the case we spoke, frances ah, may be too early to say just who will follow. Pope francis, but hes still doing what he can to increase the odds. It will be someone who has received his blessing. Adarine al jazeera vatican city. Theres been clashes and argentina where police have battled thousands of support as a vice president.
