Unlike the Arctic, where many countries around the world have built their own bases to serve a number of fields both in terms of science, economy and military, for Antarctica, this is still an unofficial land. government although the countries closest to it are Argentina, South Africa and Australia. Every year, during the winter, Antarctica does not receive any sunlight for 6 months; In summer, the sun is always on the horizon. Most of the sunlight falling on Antarctica is reflected back by the white ice, 1.9km thick on average, plus the highest terrain in the world (2,800m above sea level) giving this place its climate. coldest on earth. In the middle of summer, when the sun is perpendicular to the Tropic of Cancer, the average temperature in Antarctica is -25°C. In winter, when the sun moves down the Northern Hemisphere, Antarctica is as cold as -65°C and in some places -89.2°C. A cruise ship takes visitors to Antarctica Initially, only seven countries made claims, including Argentina, Australia, Chile, France, New Zealand, and Great Britain, by setting up facilities in the name of scientific research. Some other countries such as India, Italy, Russia, USA, Pakistan, Ukraine… although not claiming sovereignty, they also build long-term and sustainable constructions. In 1959, after much controversy, in order to prevent military conflicts, the United States, Great Britain, the Soviet Union and nine other countries signed the Antarctic Treaty, which essentially “set aside territorial claims” and use Antarctica for peaceful purposes only. Jane Francis, head of the Antarctic Survey, UK, said: “In 1980, five more countries made claims to sovereignty and now, 54 countries are present in Antarctica with 75 research stations. That poses many problems that need to be solved, such as climate change, fishing, tourism, resource exploitation…”. The results of 50 years of observations show that temperatures in some areas of Antarctica are rising much faster than the global average. This leads to melting glaciers and consequent sea level rise. Marine biologist Damon Stanwell-Smith, who first visited Antarctica more than 25 years ago, said: “Things have changed rapidly and we can see clearly. Just six years ago, there was Areas that are not accessible by boat during the winter are now experiencing large currents, allowing tour operators to bring tourists to visit Antarctica. Still according to Damon Stanwell-Smith, from November last year to April last, despite the raging COVID-19 pandemic, 51,000 tourists set foot on Antarctica, an increase of 17% over the previous year and will continue to grow. continues to increase even though the tour price is from 1,000USD to 100,000USD per person depending on geographical distance. “In addition to the 33 ships registered with the Antarctic Treaty Secretariat, there are 20 other ships under construction, not to mention the kayaking or air-plane tours that make Antarctica an oasis,” Mr. Damon said. play uncontrollably…”. The majority of tourists to Antarctica are Chinese, second only to the US in the ranking because Beijing is investing heavily in the continent, as part of its plan to become a “polar power”. What is Antarctica when the Antarctic Treaty is no longer in place? The Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty was adopted in 1991. It entered into force in 1998 and is the main instrument related to the conservation and management of biodiversity in Antarctica, in which There is a ban on exploitation of natural resources. However, after 50 years, the countries that signed the Antarctic Treaty can decide to amend the fishing ban provided that at least three-quarters of the current consultations – the 29 countries of the Antarctic Treaty – agree. Notice when the 50-year period will end in 2048. Whales slaughtered at a logistics base in Antarctica However, before the Environmental Protection Protocol to the Antarctic Treaty, seal hunting in Antarctica was practiced as early as the 18th century by the British, Norwegians, Argentines and Chilean. Meanwhile, large-scale whaling in Antarctic and sub-Antarctic waters increased sharply in the early 20th century, mainly by Norwegian and British companies. Whaling logistics stations erected in Antarctica are implied to be part of that country’s territory because, under international law, state activity is a key element of ownership territory. It is therefore not surprising that it is expressed in many forms by all the claimants to Antarctica, from scientific research facilities to dormitories for experts, rescue stations or offices that maintain navigation, airports, logistics, harbors, lighthouses, not to mention that some governments license whaling, seals, The establishment of national parks, the issuance of postage stamps, the mapping and naming of each area, etc., are concrete examples of the race to own Antarctica. According to National Geographic, UK, an increasing number of activities are damaging Antarctica, such as legal and illegal fishing, including the molluscs it contains. is the main food for whales. Arthur Devries, a fish biologist at the University of Illinois, USA, said that since 2003 he has not found an adult toothfish in Antarctica while in 1970, he caught 500 fish for a season to study a protein in the body of fish that helps make anticoagulants. Environmentalist Huck Dulown of the University of Gundee, UK, says he has collected hundreds of meters of damaged nets left behind by fishing boats, not to mention engine oil and household waste. travel. Huck Dulown said: “There are places called ‘scientific research stations’ but maybe inside are not military bases and it is not excluded that it hid missiles with nuclear warheads as it once happened. It goes against Article 1 of the Antarctic Treaty: “Antarctica shall be used for peaceful purposes only. Any measures of a military nature, such as the establishment of military bases, the conduct of military exercises, the testing of any weapon, are prohibited. Antarctica is humanity’s last unspoiled reserve. Under the ice of this continent is an extremely large mineral resource including oil, copper, gold, titanium, uranium, rare earth …, and the surrounding seas are inhabited by many types of creatures. In addition, the glaciers in Antarctica contain 90% of the fresh water in the world, so South Africa, for example, was planning to pull an iceberg to serve the freshwater shortage in the city of Cap Town. A scientific research station in Antarctica And although Antarctica itself is a demilitarized zone, armed conflicts have arisen in a number of its vicinity, including Chile and Argentina over an island near Cape Horn, as well as claims to the South China Sea. The two countries’ overlapping territorial claims, or the war between Argentina and Great Britain over the Falkland Islands, is the gateway to Antarctica. Although the war ended long ago with the victory belonging to Britain, according to observers, it is very likely that it will flare up again. Jim Tymothy, a professor in the Department of Geopolitics, Yale University, USA, said: “The fate of the territories in Antarctica depends on the coordination of the great powers. If coordination is not achieved, the continent will share seven in the next 20 to 30 years, and that could lead to an Antarctic war, is based on these factors: The emergence of technology that allows the rapid and economical supply of fresh water from glaciers in the South China Sea. Antarctica to dry regions, rising oil prices and increasing demand for crude oil Besides, food also needs to be exploited more due to the growing global population, which requires fishing in Antarctic waters…”. At the moment, there is no such convergence of interests, but more than ever, it is likely to take shape because over 60 years, up to now, 54 countries have joined the Antarctic Treaty. including 29 European countries, 9 Asian countries, 8 South American countries, 4 in North and Central America, 3 in Oceania and 1 in Africa. Not only that, the number of consultative parties of the Treaty with bases in Antarctica is also constantly increasing: Australia, Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Chile, People’s Republic of China, Korea Countries, Ecuador, Finland, France, Germany, Japan, UK, India, Italy, Norway, New Zealand, Netherlands, Peru, Poland, Russia, Spain, South Africa, Ukraine, Uruguay, USA and Switzerland. The remaining 25 countries join the Antarctic Treaty as non-consulting parties but still have the right to attend relevant meetings without being included in the decision-making process. However, although “not included in the decision-making process”, these 25 countries still assert their position in Antarctica through scientific research stations, airports, ports, logistics facilities, etc. So the Antarctic race probably hasn’t stopped yet because no one is sure that in the future, no country will send people to this cold continent…

Google’s domain in Argentina stopped working. Photo: Gonto. However, this domain name stopped working after Kuronã completed its transaction. Perhaps, Google accidentally forgot to renew the domain “google.com.ar” in this country, leading to the domain name becoming expired and listed for sale on nic.air. Kuronã’s actions are considered “cybersquatting”, acts that benefit themselves from the registration, acquisition and use of another person’s trademark, according to MercoPress . Google also quickly regained its domain, and everything worked properly after that. This incident became a hot topic on social networks when the Google domain name in Argentina could not work for nearly 3 hours and received a lot of criticism from users, according to MecroPress . Another Twitter user said that this problem arises because the NIC does not support domain auto-renewal. Google and NIC Argentina have yet to respond to the problem. Are Google search results still correct? Google’s search results are gradually dominated by too many ads, and also lead users to false information, fake brand.

Artwork – Time Radio Sputnik reported on April 22 that a man named Nicolas Kuronã accidentally discovered the domain name http://google.com.ar available on the registration page, so he immediately took this opportunity. Mr. Kuronã shared on Twitter personally: “I want to verify this, so I logged on to http://nic.ar (website of Argentina’s National Internet Domain Registrar. I noticed the domain name http) : //google.com.ar is available so I bought it legally! ”. According to local newspapers, Mr. Kuronã is said to have bought the area for 540 Pesos, or $ 5.79 USD. The above transaction of Mr. Kuronã is said to not affect the international domain of Google, ie “www.google.com”. How did Mr. Kuronã buy http://google.com.ar? According to Latin American regional news agency Merco Press, it is likely that Mr. Kuronã bought a Google domain name in Argentina at the brief moment between the expiration time and the renewal period of the domain name. Meanwhile, Google Argentina forgot to renew its domain name and most likely at the same time Kuronã quickly registered to buy. Kuronã’s above action is called “Cybersquatting” – the act of buying or occupying a domain name with the aim of profiting from the owner’s trademark. However, Mr. Kuronã’s ownership cannot last. The domain name in Argentina by Google was immediately restored after being personally purchased. However, users still complained about Google Argentina being shut down for about 3 hours and went to Twitter to express disappointment. “This is happening because http://nic.ar is too bad, doesn’t support automatic renewal or domain purchase for many years like most domain registrars in other countries,” one person said. world”. Meanwhile, another said: “Google was lucky because its domain name in Argentina did not fall into the hands of a professional domain usurper”.

By Ivo Marusczyk, ARD studio Buenos Aires The Russian vaccine Sputnik V is now also manufactured in Argentina. According to the Russian investment fund, which markets the vaccine worldwide, the first batch was produced in a laboratory in Buenos Aires.

Production for Argentina and Latin America

These cans are now to be checked for quality in Moscow. If all goes well, production on a larger scale could start in June. In Argentina, the vaccine for vaccinations in their own country and in other countries in Latin America will then be produced. The raw materials still come from Russia Vaccine is still scarce in much of the continent. Only Chile was able to vaccinate 40 percent of its population with at least one dose. The AstraZeneca vaccine was also manufactured under license in Argentina. But so far it cannot be used – the bottling should take place in Mexico, but is not progressing.

Production of Sputnik V Russia has its Sputnik V corona vaccine produced in several countries, including India. According to the Russian state fund RDIF, which is responsible for marketing the vaccine, agreements were concluded with 20 producers in ten countries by the beginning of April. These include South Korea and China. According to RDIF, there are also agreements with partners in Germany, France, Spain and Italy. However, some of the national governments declared that they were not aware of the relevant agreements.

Sharply increasing number of cases

In Argentina, the number of new corona cases has recently risen sharply. Since Sunday, the Robert Koch Institute has classified the country as an area with a high incidence. For a few days, there has been a curfew from 8 p.m. in the Buenos Aires area, restaurants are actually only allowed to serve outdoors. The central government and the city government of the capital are fighting a violent dispute over the closure of the schools.

Sergio Romero had to sell home to leave MU because coach Ole Solskjaer. With Dean Henderson returning to Old Trafford last summer, Sergio Romero was eliminated by coach Ole Solskjaer from the MU squad.The Argentine goalkeeper was not registered to play in the Premier League as well as the Champions League. MU allows Romero to find a new team, but requires too high a salary that makes the 34-year-old goalkeeper stuck at Old Trafford. He hasn’t played a single match in a year.
