The worst dow point loss ever the previous 2 record set just last week as the markets were closing in new york and washington President Donald Trump was asked if the country was in a recession well it may be without thinking in terms of a recession with a good in terms of the virus once we step i think theres a tremendous pent up demand both in terms of the stock market and in terms of the economy and once this goes away once it goes through and were done with it i think youre going to see a tremendous a tremendous surge the trading day was so bad the president of the New York Stock Exchange had to shoot down rumors that the Trading Floor might close down tweeting closing the markets would not change the underlying causes of the market decline this would only further compound the current market anxiety. Over the weekend the Federal Reserve lowered Interest Rates to nearly 0 hoping it would call in the markets it did not they lower the rates on sunday market is telling us that theyre not that happy with that if were lowering it if were shooting every good out of the chamber of leaving i said 0 is 0 is our worst Economic News in the horizon when we think investors say they need 3 things to happen for the market to bounce back a slowdown of coronavirus cases in the u.

On game we are at war healthwise not against another country or another nation the enemy is there and its advancing and that requires general mobilization we are at war all the action of the government must now be focused on the fight against the epidemic by night or by day nothing must distract us. In Mainland China theres been only one case of locally transmitted infection on monday it was detected in the capital of Central Province where the flu like disease appeared in humans late last year of 21 new confirmed cases in china 20 involve travelers arriving from abroad.

For millenia the oceans lay outside the dominion of. The 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 welty story began and. Im tom apply 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. To meet 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 in it for 40 days it did the job it kept the window for me i was warm and dry but dont forget im right about the top of the cliff its just straight down to the city. Hall mclean is one of the u. K. s creatures to adventure has he crossed the atlantic. 5 times the 1st time in a globe and 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. But it was more than an adventure it. Was a mission a mission done in service to mother england. Somebody said about us and killed it 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 your 1st civilian to reside on rock all 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 a strong work ethic the big the way down i go down there was 54 straight down into the foam flies helplessly into the sea. The landing at 1985. 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 old. 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 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 round lock all 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. But we have the United Kingdom to the east and as we come further west we passed the rock all rock itself onto the lot. The land area of Great Britain of 240000 square kilometers the area that the u. K. Have submitted for the rock is a 163000 square kilometers. Good to. My main reason to go to rockall was to inhabited and if i stayed in international or less than 21 days im only visited i had to stay more than 21 days and by staying there more than 21 days it in fact 40 days it wasnt iraq its an oil and i made it or not and. Local. For the u. K. To claim the Territorial Sea overwhelmed along 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 to st kilda has been deserted ever since its 36. 00 remaining inhabitants left almost a century ago but humans live there once and they could live there again at least theoretically. What does the u. K. Want with all this water. What do you mean by opening a piece of the ocean. The idea of the ocean has changed over time. Most from. The plan was to show how the leaders in their cult talk of his mum saw the world and 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 kingdom 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 the 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 full with dangers and obstacles that needed to be overcome a sailors journey to foreign lands. And of course the 2 dimensional bit 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 africa the seabed became a place of exploration in 858 as the transatlantic cape 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 meteor in 1925 scientists today likened the 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 weve 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 else truman a man whose influence far reaching and any other man on earth. Harry 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 found in the gulf of mexico but the oil lay beyond the 3 miles island in which coastal states could exercise their song rights truly wanted more people wanted new terms 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 and divide to expand facilities to step up production find new sources develop substitutes and bring in increased supply 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 in some areas of the seabed oceanic others a continental. The us had to have this kind of basis of a jew logic a 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 us 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 get c. N. N. Not so cursed by ever. We. Let them play 15 years for the christening years. In this industry arbeit again. The argument that the continent continues on made up the core of trumans justification this was all the more convincing because the historical events the legitimacy of this theory which by far into history. Possibly far. Too if keep this. Time in. Terms. Of the korean talent left by mehdi army on minimum. Will feed your cat is a geophysicist at the alfred baker the institute in play my husband alfred vega noticed that the coastlines of north and south america seems to fit together with those of us and africa like pieces of a possible. Was indeed carnegie lookee in differ on found on one of the dark horse dusty couldnt i much as some. Pianist. In the record scientists today believe there was once a supercontinent that at some point began to drift apart in the early 20th century decided seemed completely preposterous. This being water sanitary. Vs just. Spin up could turn. Out adamas got kind of supervised. This is on the continent on. Earth if were only out there thats africa the american doctors and indian land mass and the fungus. And disease to cure the present. Indian its here. To cost us as the con invited that. Back does or buy here thats where the quote entire. Went on here home is the only planet delegates has as a. Desert where does it up or kinder that could depend. On this have to be done article sausan of the feel of them up syrian gas but. They be ended 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 biden chairs for finance in mind us as we but fear not limit our plight. Africa. Particularly made up artist doesnt. Want importing context picturesquely and. 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 around to see its exclusive economic zone. So these did idea 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 a cools with momentous consequences was quietly appended to the law of the Sea Convention the clause in question is article 76 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 power but rather on geological findings. The scientists have a special role in the k. Of the ocean because the physical difference isnt as obvious its not as experienced if youre on an island detention no 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 conventional actually works and its all about natural. Laws so we have. Actually the lab continues underwater Something Like this everything is decided by the point where the continental gradient off at the foot of the continental slope this spot is used to calculate the show outer limits the states can choose between 2 formulas it can extend its borders 60 nautical miles or 100 kilometers from this point see woods and be more advantageously however to use the sediment thickness because the settlements on the mainland the state has a territorial claim to this part of the seabed the thicker the layer of sediment the better according to the thickness will the Continental Shelf extends until the point where the thickness of sediment amounts to one percent of the distance from the foot to the slope. Because no one told the chests understand geological data only thing can determine how far the state so when winds extend over the ocean hence a commission of expert was found in new york with the Global Community recognize the stakes and because so far in the world has evolved one knows. 0 nonsi beside thousands why mickie
