again who has spent his life in the recycling industry helping out with his parents' business before building his own plastics factory the so much you know variable stuff that's pack into it and the minute you understand that you will create so much high value material comes up from that once you see that as a potential you approach it totally differently you think about how we're going to strike there were resources i'm not going to pick you know put into that and once. that my search party pollution problem if there's a proviso i see as company has increased the volume of waste it handles already this year by twenty eight percent. developed countries have been looking for alternatives since china's ban on plastic waste imports took effect at the start of this year the u.k. for example has now tripled its exports of plastic waste to malaysia. some recycling companies here use a combination of local and imported waste but it's the imported waste that's

considered the better quality recyclables should be segregated at source but often than not divided up properly and become contaminated which means someone then has to do the sorting out and the cleaning there was some concerns that china's ban would flood malaysia with more waste than it could handle and the government initially stopped issuing in what permits but it was only temporary. recycling already. declared almost a whopping i think be ready for all this fall because. of not coming out of the ground c.r. says countries need to start looking at the whole issue from a different perspective.

we. know. all the they'll.

thanks thanks.

thanks

. we headed to jerusalem bureau covered israeli palestinian affairs we covered this story with a lot of intimate knowledge we covered it with that we don't dip in and out of this story we have presence here all the time apart from being a cameraman it's also very important to be a journalist to know the story very well before going into the fields covering the united nations and global the policy for al-jazeera english is pretty incredible this is where talks happen and what happens there matters. most memorable moments with al-jazeera was when i was on air as hosni mubarak fell at the crowds in tahrir square talking. as. if something happens anywhere in the world al-jazeera is in place we're able to cover the news like no other news organizations. were able to do it properly. that is our strength

. well i'm. sure you. know some of it i like.

one of the biggest problems facing our oceans and the loss of seagrass meadows what's a rule for roughly fifteen percent of the oceans total carbon storage perhaps or they hope to wife as much carbon dioxide as rain forests and they're also question marine habitats for many endangered oceans these things. but here on el corn slew in central california the tide could be turning for sea grass thanks to some unexpected allies. oh yeah i mean. this nine hundred hector asked you where it is where rivers throughout this region meet the pacific ocean this is the agricultural powerhouse of the united states and fertilizer and pesticide runoff threaten the balance of this delicate ecosystem so how will farmers so close to the ocean on what what impact does that have on the water quality well i mean were you coastal environments close to urban centers

coastal environments close. like. it grows with the rocks. start composing over half of the world sea grass meadows are in decline but here in al corn slew they're making a surprising comeback. oh wow. at one time there were thousands of sea otters in california but in the eighteen hundreds they were hunted to near extinction for their soft fur pelts. there are now more than one hundred in this as consuming a staggering one hundred thousand crabs per year. this federation's appetite has helped restore the balance of this ecosystem by triggering

a chain reaction known as a trophic cascade. sea otters the crabs lower crop numbers allows smaller invertebrates like sea slugs to thrive and these creatures are crucial for the health of seagrass eating algal build up on the leaves they allow sunlight to reach the plants. because sea otters are so crucial to the ecosystem scientists are carefully monitoring their slow and steady come back. they capture them and tag them with radio devices. firing their work really well. so it was probably very close. what's the purpose of tracking we go out seven days a week is to go out and find individuals see where they are what they're doing. and the other part of it is a star so we can understand the distribution of otters in this area what are they

eating and how are they doing health wise there is one right there that's three four nine six so that beeping is an arm that peeping is from the radio transmitter that's surgically implanted in her. system ok. why don't you take a look yes you're right in there. along the west coast of north america researchers have noticed that the return of top level predators is having an impact on restoring all kinds of underwater life and the entire ocean system. what the sea otters do it's kind of it turns the tables against them that gee through thousands of facts of sea otters eating crabs essentially the same grass an advantage again. so if we introduce top predators like sea otters to ecosystems around the world

will it have a knock on that potentially in the prediction is yes so if you re store food webs which means a lot of times bringing back a top predator to a system that we wiped out we have a great potential for restoring the health of that system. china's kwong she province has become famous for its large number of elderly many aged one hundred or older when used investigates if the region holds the secrets to

won independence from neighboring sudan president salva kiir an ethnic doing the country's largest group sacked then deputy reac mashal who's from the second largest community the new way of blaming an attempted coup the conflict a school aged leading to the deaths of an estimated fifty thousand people and creating africa's largest refugee crisis since the one nine hundred ninety four one genocide the u.n. accuses both sides of widespread ethnic cleansing and gang rape so prevalent that it's become normal according to the u.n. regional leaders have attempted to broker several peace deals in that time and all have failed algeria south sudan correspondent even morgan has more on the latest breakdown in talks. what will happen is basically what has happened in the previous round of peace talks which have also failed the differences between the two sides is simply too big to be broached and to be covered in just a matter of couple of days the president wants basically the same structure of government that is currently in place while the opposition leader rick machar wants

the twenty fifteen peace deal to be revived he wants to have his own army under his own command while the south and his government has its own army so basically two armies in one country he also wants to be replaced to be reinstated back as a vice president a position which he held in twenty thirteen before he was sacked which resulted in the civil war and which again held after an agreement in ten to fifteen which also failed when fighting broke out in the capital juba in twenty sixteen so basically what he wants is to be reinstated and he wants to have his own army which he says is for his own protection the protection of his people now south sudan has made it very clear they do not want bad so it's very hard to see how those two sides can come together in a couple of days to try to bridge their differences and struck a deal. in other world news the top official donald tusk is in austria for talks with chancellor sebastian curse on migration policies ahead of a major summit at the end of the month curse was elected in december and wants stricter policies to stop refugees entering and moving through the e.u.

later to hungary wales sit down with white wing leader viktor orban both courage and heart of an emerging and newly influential hardline bloc in the european union the leaders of poland slovakia the czech republic come from a similar political viewpoint while it's lee's new government is also right wing crucially in germany chancellor angela merkel is under pressure from elements within her own coalition to agree to strict to e.u. wide policies on migration is raising questions about whether they could be a split within the union between those who want to maintain the current system and those calling for borders to be closed domini cain has more from berlin. friday's a day in which president donald tusk of the european council is going to try to put his message across regarding the e.u. summit that will take place in brussels at the end of next week speaking to the

chancellor of stress of us and courts but also to the prime minister of hungary viktor autobahn both these people both these men are people who don't share the point of view that the larger e.u. countries certainly germany and france have regarding a solution to the immigration crisis certainly in hungary the view there is if anything they want to toughen the laws tough from the rules in their own country they would like to act unilaterally in some senses to control their borders better mr cortes is the not quite sure that point of view that he too has talked of the need for solutions both of the european level but also in his own country at the domestic level the question will be what mr quotes expects from this meeting because he will be in brussels this coming weekend this sunday for a mini summit of eight member states in the e.u. trying to find some sort of accommodation to get progress on a plan european solution for the immigration crisis but as i say he does not share

the point of view of president of france and i'm going to merkel the chancellor here in germany so we introduce interesting to see what sort of language comes out from sunday's meeting about five hundred migrant children who were separated from their parents at the us mexico border have been reunited with their families that figure comes from the associated press news agency which is quoting a trump administration official since may more than two thousand children have been taken from their parents after they crossed the border illegally gabriel is under reports now from the frontline of the crisis at the southern u.s. border. oh she wanted was a better life jennifer and her three children and eighteen month old and six and three year old were all arrested last week after crossing into the united states and asking for asylum she tells me she fled the political violence and lack of opportunity back home in nicaragua a judge let her out of jail but she's not free her crime illegally crossing the

u.s. border is zero tolerance policy jennifer her children and many others have been staying at this small shelter run by the catholic church and macallan texas. jennifer did not want to be interviewed on camera and she did not want her last name used she's scared but in many ways she's lucky she doesn't understand why her children were not separated from her like the more than two thousand three hundred other children that were there donald trump's zero tolerance immigration policy for asylum seekers . those children remain in sheltered detention centers and nobody seems to know how or when they will be reunited. also in macallan was first lady maloney a trump visiting one such shelter which had taken in several children separated from their parents due to her husband's hardline policy but her show of compassion is being overshadowed by the jacket she wore on the plane on the way to texas trump

spokes person in minutes was a jacket just like this one with the words i really don't care do you but not to read anything into it. civil rights activists also visiting macallan were less concerned about the first lady's attire more concerned about president trump's executive order to in separations at the border which they say is now too little too late. this is one of the most immoral and thinkable legs that i've seen and he's done some despicable things this is near the top of the list we're here a day after there was an executive order which relieved a very very little of the current crisis and it's temporary it's not a permanent solution as for jennifer she's been holding on to her faith for future uncertain but grateful she at least has her children gave rosendo al-jazeera macallan texas. syrian activists are reporting several civilians have been injured

a strong message to those involved in para tax in indonesia but also to the ideological leaders counter terrorism laws have recently been revised to make it easier to prosecute those inciting violence but above all this case has put the spotlight on indonesia's present system notoriously lacking security firm filner was injured during the attack at starbucks judges decided to say compensation should be paid to him and out of victims of attacks but not as much as they wanted to becoming more at ease with this situation is just a time factor and. the time heals the wounds and the memories of the past. the closure will come more because of the decision by the judges or the panel of churches to grant compensation and thereby contributing to the closure then the actual conviction of a suspect in court. down and kissed the ground after the verdict was read out he
