much shows us just how dia, plastic pollution is in the city. the doctors and drainage systems blocked by plastic waste if they come on sites in my gerry as largest city lagos, possibilities hope the new band on single just plastics will help clean up this long standing problem. i remember this come out as a category and up. now decades later, it's even worse. most people i agree that it probably needs fixing, but not everyone is happy with the band streets would been those say they've been hits hottest. they use federal phone boxes as a cheap way to pack lunches, or it's non biodegradable. and says to states, the biggest environmental menace defenders say they haven't been given enough time to find alternatives? no, i'm the most. somebody who does the drawing for the help.

so tell me, did you put the goals soon to present? and obviously, ne goes, produces tons of waste being some of the trashes collected and recycling. but most of it is done without your thoughts for the damage. it goes to them by them. do i need to talk to the costs management offloading display what's on your visit? if you have all these boxes, it loads because of how many people use either into this, please i'm, if you chose to evaluate is the by the need to me one with us or the brought to the card number across the world. nigeria is a major inputs of plastics and many people rely on plastic waste for the livelihoods. environmental is to say, the band is a 1st step to change and happy to an attitude. a one in the process of binding styrofoam. the transition has to be just, well from our perspective,

it has to be fixed mental because as people choose is behavior. they will also change the way the connect with the use of plastic at different levels, the conversation around plastic and they see fit must be denise. the 5 people must see themselves in the conversation. i'm on the conversation. legal stage says between back up it's band with checks and produces and distributors along with fines to help pay for the cost of training. and for more on this we have invited helen dennis from green piece africa. she is the project lead for the organizations pan african plastics project, which is aimed at reducing plastic pollution in the environment. welcome to data being use africa, helen. you've held the band on single use plastic in lagos. tell us about just how important a step it is. so we mentioned that legal uh government uh

the um but by me plastics and and custodial for the and this is important because plastic has been shown to have disproportional impacts. so imagine a less community because most of these communities leaving africa. um, so uh, plastics has also, you know, lead to environmental impacts such as, you know, flooding which now and leads to a lot of health impacts we need comes to the population of the. so this is i step in the right direction in terms of not just health, but also environmental. you know, justice and health. as we heard in our report, people in lagos were taken by surprise with the bad, especially the bit about it coming into immediate effects. what do you think it will take to make the span achieve the results? the feel for these are seeking in labels. you know, it's already too new to watch, you know, defense the cold as beat or you're not industry. the people who produced this title

for the, the consumers because, i mean, when it comes to implementation back is where, you know, the rubber meets the road. so i think what they need to do is look at how do we then look at, for instance, subsidy is, how do we subsidize the ultimate that are supposed to be nimble? now just looking at what, what, what the consumers will do. because at the end of the day, we need everyone to, to come on board for us to be able to have effective implementation. so let the policy. so then the government also what these, they call that people from the industry who have, you know, uh the money to, for instance, invest in, in sustainable alternatives. and for the consumers, the tools that i sustain level of need to be subsidized. helen stand by because i would like for us to have a look at an example from kenya, which has had a hit start in regulating a plastic pollution. and then we'll pick up our conversation in tenure at total

buying a single use plastic sofa one. the applies to national and fox and military sizes. bots in 2017 can introduce a nationwide bond one single use plastic minds move that was loaded as groundbreaking at that time. but has it been successful? i feel like you to meet this week to do so between now cuz you can see just as of plastic area, you know the plastic stand to lot. so i think the government, at least the tide by binding plastic get to really reduce the waste around for me. uh plus to, you know, whichever, for me to coordinate the alternatives to it's 80 percent of the public are complying with the bonds. can also you to see a $25000.00 fine and up to 4 years in prison, i have proved to be an effective deterrent and vital mental activities. i agree and say the plastic bag, the bon has made significant gains and helps reduce plastic pollution overall. so a success, not so fast, you can still find places like these, ga, nate robi,

or the face or even face one of the largest landfills, keeping the stuff it got despite an overall positive response, the plastic bug binding has not been enough to eliminate kenya's for nissan problem because it does not include the many other forms of plastic, like least parts of for what time or for the or this containers in which really tables, intake of the fluid are sold. that are full and a half 1000000 people living. and they will be, and they generic, more than $2400.00 tons of waste every day of feed, the which is plastic. after the bund took effects, many of these bags made doubtful of fully propane flooded the markets. the more doable then single use plastic bags an easier to recycle none the less popular

intakes decades to decompose and eventually breaks down into micro plastics, polluting ground water and coffee hum to humans and animals waiting just that. these bugs are supposed to be used repeatedly, but often end up being used on the was just like the previous single use ones. therefore in a funnel move to bind individual ment, i mean humphrey plastics intent to maintain the 10 government bonds this 2 data on success feed. so all in all, 10 is one of the african countries moving in the right direction bots as previous africa told us the item it goes, she'll be a complete button, a single news, plastics. hey, let me just just picking up with you. um, over the day we see as all reports it was saying in the case of can you that bad and single use plastic bags load while it was a step in the right direction?

it's not been enough to tackle the pollution problem. absolutely, because you know, the other forms of single use plastic sunday, natalia sway this case is a plastic bottles. um, so for it to be successful, we need to complete by no single use glasses call. that thing is blasted because if you go to cancel for my kids right now, you still have, you know, things like bread and other products being packed, you know, using single use plastics. so this for us to be successful, well i have to meet that. they've been, you know, he's in mrs. when he comes with a single use a, you know, by and that was was, are you since i didn't tend to 17, but the government used to go ahead and burn all of that single use plastics. but more than that, they also need to look at, they'll turn out to you, how do they make those will tell not to use affordable to the you know, consumers to the public. because until that happens, then we'll still be struggling with issues to do with implementation. i understood

and helen, which is the recycling come in to the conversation. so recycling new not enough to solve, you know, the plastic pollution crises, the ultimate, you know, solution to these crises, these very backs on the point of production. if you look at the recycling, you know, we started save only about 9 percent of plus because of up for the you cause the billing cycle globally. and even when you look at, you know, well, the admissions. but, you know, the, the, the, the, the numbers really don't get back. so you know, for 250. so we're looking at how as to s on where, until we are able to cut production, then we'll not be able to get out of these, you know, prices any time soon. right. that's helen dana from green piece africa. thank you for your insights. you're watching data, the news advocates still to come

a nother foot for the pizza and your will tell you about her history making role at the prestigious bowman international phone system and our full and final wrap of the s on the tournaments, the winners both on and off the pitch, the betts, it's to south africa 1st with the general election. the caea is expected to be the most significant food in the country. and since it attained democracy 30 years ago, the country has been ruled by the amc policies since then. but with high levels of unemployment cost of living crisis, and rolling electricity blackouts, public discontent is rising. and as the w's that whole co reports, the young people could be a major deciding voice in this election. ciboney. so who will be voting for the 1st time in south africa's upcoming election?

he's generations never experienced a pod, tate, they have the so called bone free. despite this, the 22 year old feels trapped board and the about what does that it makes people upset what is that in them all the people vote them all that one party when i mean i want to see if we vote for another part in language to actually be change, you will see cause with this party, but we have of a, i don't see change. i wouldn't change it. he's worried about his job press and says, the government isn't doing enough to provide basic services. that indicates you cation is one of the things that needs to be addressed to my children, the learning, and this contained a school need, proper schools. we only have one clinic in this area and it surfaces the launch area. so for this launch, every best one clinic,

one high school and one primary school, we really need to see some change in this area which changes. so do you not glendon? young people may hold the key to this year's election, but less than 50 percent of potential vote is on the 29 have registered. there are an estimated 14000000 young south africans will eligible to vote in between to 24 nationally election. if all of them were to register and turn out on the election day, they have the potential to complete the change, the political direction of the country. however, with over 300 registered parties, many young, so the africans don't know way to place the mark a clue. recently participated in a boat to education session organized by a local. oh yeah. if you could speak openly about these frustrations with the government on boston, the petitions keep stringing us along,

on to read the final thing that is where i can also be proud that nobody give them a chance to go this far to reach to find out but the deed and they brought the middle of the dream once again, you know, since 2015 you had notaries to find out and just to find out was what's really good . yeah, i, it was, it was a tournament of surprises, but i'm going to be graceful and allow you to give, need to pay. is that set up for you, this one that? i mean it's, it's a lot, lots of pay as but to a story stand out. i think one will, has to be so boston holler at the request striker who's got the winning goal for them. and if i know he, he, so if i've concept 2 years ago, he pays for the duct one just in germany and he's, i've cancer. i thought he's kind of was over. well, came back and made ivory coast dream, you know, and become the town because of africa for the time. the so this story of,

of child for it is that goes down as best as it goes down, sees is, is huge and it's, it's something we can all look back on and prism for it would be a lifelong story. and the 2nd person that's that for me. so when i know with the vehicle, yes, we are with interest that go with the come through those and i there. yes. and he was named play of the a be able to totally and i'm sorry. and we m a was born in the middle lands. he's mom is dodge, as far as nigeria and interest of police. when i do a few years ago, one of the 4 back, which is that i told him, look, i don't think you can play it. his academic position, but look at him to do the best play out in africa and told him it and, and he's, he's stories really good. i saw him just before the tournament. and he had been folded out of the team for a year. but he was really calls back and just going onto the company of the tournament is, is amazing. remarkable. this was on one account, a successful tournament who, who gets the credit for that? i think cost cover freely doing well because the addition of comfortable organizing

such a tournament, the quantity from 16 teams to 24 and it makes it more exciting opportunity for you smaller countries to qualify. otherwise, 16 teams was really lead me to lead me to do you know what, we're 24 teams using coaches i'm or 10 year which the lockout compared to reach the quote to finance again after 2015. you mean? and then caution gage went on. so she making this tournament digital fist, you know, you could just engage with the key moments inside the, in the, on the peach in this, in the dressing rooms, they made a really engaging for funds or social media and kicked off and instagram, it's, they did this really good, but also the host country, you know, desperate of acquired by welcome the open door by every course way everyone and the homestead tournament that was really attractive and i didn't have a lot of credit for them, but also on the part of the host. they built all the stadiums. well,
