what do you have to tell me to do this? all the goals soon to present. and obviously negroes 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 the environment. that's who i need to talk to the cause of management offloading this because he's busy, we have all these fucking loads because of how many people use either into disabilities. i'm if you need it just within those 330, what is the by the need to me is one with us or the brought to the car now because i don't want to miss nigeria is a major implants of plastics and many people rely on plastic waste for the livelihoods, environmental is to say, the brand is a 1st step to change and happy to an attitude. a one in the process of binding

spiral phones, the transition has to be just well from our perspective, it has to be 1st mentor because as people choose is behavior. they will also change the way they connect with the use of plastic at different levels. the conversation around plastic and is the 5th must be do me see 5 people must see themselves in the conversation. i'm on the conversation. legal stage says that we will 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 dana 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 hailed the bad on single use plastic in lagos. tell us about just how important

a step it is. so we mentioned led to legal uh government uh the um well by me, plastics and, and the starter for the and this is important because plastic has been shown to have disproportional impacts. so imagine a less community does most of these communities leaving africa. um, so uh, plastics has also, you know, lead to environmental impacts such as, you know, sliding, which now and leads to a lot of health impacts we need comes to the population of the. so this is a step in the right direction in terms of not just health, but also environmental, you know, just is and headed 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, as long as you need to watch,

you know, defense the cold as beat are you not industry? the people who produce 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 40 eastern subsidies. how do we subsidize the ultimate, is that sustainable? no, 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 politicians limit government also walk 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 ultimate tools, the 1st 10 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 only applies to national parks and military sizes. bots in 2017 can introduce a nationwide bond. one single use plastic bags move that was loaded as groundbreaking at that time. but has it been successful? i feel like you to meet this week to do some beach clean up cuz you can see just as of plastics give you. uh, you know, blessed expense a lot. so i think the government at least the tide by binding plastic get to really reduce the waste around for me. uh, plastic in whichever for me to coordinate. uh, the alternatives to it's 80 percent of the public are complying with the bonds can . i'll tell you to see a $25000.00 fine and up to 4 years in prison. proved to be an effective deterrent and vital mental acts of yes, 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. ca, named roby or the face or even face one of the largest landfills keeping the stop for got despite an overall positive response, the plastic bug buying has not been enough to eliminate kenya's pollution problem because it does not include that many of a forms of plastic like least bottle of water or florida or these containers in reads, read the tables and take all the food 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 button took effects, many of these bags made doubtful of fully propane flooded the markets. the more

durable then single use plastic bags an easier to recycle none the less popular insects 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 front of move to bind individual ment, i mean humphrey plastics intend to maintain the can them government bonds. this tool alpha and 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 was. 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 was saying in the case of kenya,

that band and single used plastic bag for load one. 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 funding, natalia as well as this case of the plastic bottles. um, so for it to be successful, we need to complete by no single use plastic. all that thing is blast, it's because if you got to cut down, so 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, to meet that. they've been, you know, he's in mrs. when he comes with a single use a you know, bond that was was, are you since i didn't turn to 17, but the government is 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 alternatives 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, where does the recycling come into the conversation? sort of sparkling new not enough to solve. you know, the plastic pollution price these they alternate, you know, solution to these crises. these are the backs on the point of production. if you look at the recycling, you know, we've started save only about 9 percent of plastics of ever, per due cause beauty 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, 4050. so we're looking at a situation where until we are able to cut production, then we'll not be able to get out of these, you know, crisis any time soon. right, that's helen dana from green peace, africa. thank you for your insights. you're

watching data in east africa still to come a nother foot for the pizza and your will tell you about the history making role at the prestigious berlin international phone system and our full and final rest of the s on the tournaments, the winners both on and off the pitch, the bats it's to south africa 1st with the general election. the caea is expected to be the most significant food in the country 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 diane herancha reports, the young people could be a major deciding voice in this election. ciboney. so who will be

surface. it's a large area. so for this launch area, there's one clinic, one high school and one primary school. we really need to see some change in this area, which is also do you know, 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 their an estimated 14000000 young south africans well eligible to vote in the 2024 national 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 clue recently participated in a boat to education session organized by a local. oh yeah. he could speak openly about these frustrations with

the government. most of the petitions keep stringing us along, keep running away from us, and then she must by the organization believes that getting young voters to think about the own needs can make them feel more involved. conflict in that vote is having conversations amongst ourselves about what the selection means, how we're going to vote. why are we going to go to knoxville? i think we spend a lot of time focusing on the political bodies, but it's not the election. it is our election as the vote, as of the country clue now sees the power of his vote. yeah. is that the, these conversations need to happen? more often? the money happens, the mazda pressure will shift from us to the government to change the economy issues, including the ruling and see government has had 3 decades impala. but young people live, who don't have the same historical ties to the party, as the parents did. and they feel laid down they vote couldn't bring about the

a successful tournament who, who gets the credit for that? i think costs are really doing well because the addition of comfortable organizing such a tournament, they've gone it from 16 teams to 24 and it makes it more exciting opportunity for you. smaller countries to qualify. otherwise, 16 teams was really let me see. let me tell you, you know what, we're 24 teams using coaches. i'm more tenure reach the lookout compared to reach the quote to finance again after 2015 you mean? and then cos engagement on social 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 it 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 in the homestead tournament that was really attractive and i didn't have
