its plastics to china says it changes he says he's forced to bring twice as much as he used to for incineration for me as a recital each it's a shame of course or like i said it was at least fifty percent inside these bills which can be recycled even more than seventy percent and now they can they're not allowed to importing more and we're not allowed to export. what other countries wants to get rid of china saw as raw material for its growing economy. the dutch port of rotterdam was to gateway sending waste across the ocean to asia was cheaper than processing it in europe we buy a lot of goods from china telephones the laptops plastic goods so we barter their welfare by ship those containers that are empty and so it's very cheap at the moment to fill them with or plastic waste of come from the same goods and some of back to china every year europeans generate twenty five million tonnes of plastic waste of which only a third is collected for resizing out of that thirds the netherlands would only

recycle the high quality plastics for decades the low quality plastics were shipped off to china now that's no longer an option so what does europe do instead. the e.u. says lack of capacity to recycle its old plastics is now beginning to show more waste is getting burned dumb to landfills and even eagerly disposed of but there is hope the basic problem of plastics is they go in very many for righties some scientists think this could be a wake up call for the industry forcing companies to use material that's easier to recycle if you look at the plastics that are produced today. they are their medical . complex to recycle and if something doesn't get recycled then a lot of it and into an environment. in recent years a cross year of new techniques have been developed to tackle the plastics problem

the director of this dutch startup says is becoming possible to keep using the plastic that's already out there you're going to diagnose here with this technique we can embassy reuse plastic waste it means you don't have to produce new plastics anymore in the end you won't even need oil anymore it's not clear if we can recycle our way out of the plastic crisis we've created but by closing its doors to the world's waste at least china made other countries take responsibility for a problem they've long shift off their shores for now al-jazeera amsterdam. taken on of the top stories that make the news here and is here the u.s. has warned russia that it's causing a significant escalation by deploying new advanced missiles to syria the kremlin is sending an s. three hundred missile defense system a week after one of its planes was mistakenly shot down by syrian anti-aircraft fire they blame the israelis for chasing

presidential election stay with us. i am really could be today a presidential shift in the malvinas following sunday's historic election so what does new leadership mean for the country tweet us your thoughts or leave them in our lives here to chat and you too can be in the stream. for many of us disses been a difficult journey a journey that has led to a put as i'm so. excited it's been

a journey that book complete politicize a show on the an but i don't know public institutions. but it has been it's been a journey that has ended at the book's. on sunday maldives opposition leader ibrahim mohammad saw that one country's presidential election the stunning defeat of president. many observers off guard the country has suffered a difficult transition to democracy since the end of three decades of authoritarian rule in two thousand and eight following his election in two thousand and thirteen you mean routinely used his power to crack down on political dissent jelling rivals and even supreme court justices so what does this win mean for democracy in the maltese here to discuss that in geneva jeffrey where he'd his deputy ambassador to the united nations representing the maltese and. she's a member of the maldives democratic party and also

a member of parliament and in london will jordan a journalist with al-jazeera investigations his documentary stealing paradise took an in-depth look at government corruption during the means ten year president welcome back to the stream all of you i want to start with our communities several of them are very excited to show you here via pictures this is she says people are overwhelmed by the victory over injustice the lack of freedom and fairness and shares a picture of people in the streets celebrating after the election here's another ongoing celebrations at tweets to the stream by the opposition and you can see them gathered there late at night eva how significant is this win by the opposition candidate a candidate who is from your own party. i hope i think as the president elect. last night said in a moment this is that moment of hope. i think that's exactly how a lot of people

a moment. one of those things that it fails impossible until it was done but now it feels the next of a. we knew we had the votes we knew people wanted justice we knew people wanted democracy back. we knew people wanted their fundamental rights is stored so it's good to see that people voted for them all of these but it feels like the course has been righted again for the wealthy. the course has been righted just three years. thanks. i have to begin by saying at least i have to offer a warm congratulations to our panelists. to the modern democratic party to the party to the entire opposition coalition for the victory of their candidates in this presidential election you know honorable prime soul and honorable ice in the

seam won an election that was by all measures free fair and credible this election stands the testament to the strength of our institutions and you know with fifty five days to the children operation. it's not an easy task to keep the coalition together to figure out how they're going to create a government and a presidential system and over these next fifty plus days the government is going to come together with the opposition to create a transition team that ensures the continuity of government but also ensures that the services the need to be vital to the people are still provided thankfully they have a very strong foundation to build on we have a number of projects that will benefit the people the multi-verse and the a number of initiatives that will really put. it on the right footing when he does take over as president in november of this year and not an easy task before we go too much further in the future i want to pause for

a second to remember what happened earlier today on monday so how did the election many people were predicting that we might not see a concession speech immediately but president i believe mean did concede you see the headline here of delay mean concedes defeat and maldives presidential election he gave a televised speech on monday doing just that have a look. around there not have been a money. do you know you do people have decided what they want. i have accepted the results from yesterday but. they really it's a day i met with abraham how met sally. he multi-billion electorate has chosen to be the next president but from what you've. lost if you didn't own the book what i would do with this research. it would be if i had given in every time i faced an issue it was even if the rights of the people would have been compromised and so.

you know you can the most i was that there was a line up with the well you heard the speech right there what are your thoughts well i mean i don't i don't think the president you know i mean is particularly worried about the rights of the people he's been caught out. all of the tricks that he's used over the last five years i've worked is been voted out and you know democracy is the least worst option and in this case it seems to work but you know jeffrey talked about the strength of the institutions there i don't think despite the fact that we pulled off an election that those things will be credible but the institutions are strong and that's going to be the big challenge of them all these places from here first off the coalition want to be strong which is a pretty awfully crude parties and there's a lot of challenges you know those institutions are pretty weak now. so two

people even have mentioned the challenges ahead and they're not being an easy task people are panelists of course this is well and jeffrey both of forecasting that there is a hard road ahead what do you make of that in terms of what the opposition has as a hurdle. i think without a doubt the task ahead to be difficult as you said band of different political parties is very different backgrounds. but i think our candidates i think the brand with all of it is well placed to keep the coalition together he told man he's a dependable man who has built a reputation around being around listening to people and pulling people together he's been at the same to all keeping this well bringing this coalition together and also keeping it together for the past year and a half. hour because. i was key moment i think was

a common candidate which took the government by surprise and which the government really couldn't come back from and i hope we say committed to governance. the government i'm told that wanted to come and counter that you know this very well we've always i don't know the common tended to be put forward ones that actually run in the election really really not maybe not up to the government to ask for the opposition candidate it's no legal obligation on call of government response and government or the other for that absolutely to head to democracy is all but obsolete in this country at the moment we have no functioning independent commissions we have no functioning constitutional commission select. the media needs to build the human rights commission the broadcasting commission all the independent commissions we need to let from ground zero we need to let these institutions of the palm and as you know since last year has been to meet under military sees of it so we need to build the military see. that was the last time

you had that. unlike you i'm not a member of parliament well i am a member of parliament and i'm not allowed i'm not allowed inside the parliament the military mission i'm not allowed inside the chamber that much is without this angers permission and as well into the rules and guidelines of your very own if you don't use new rules i mean i think. you have the you know that even now here you're saying even finish your sentence there because i see will kind of nodding his head wanting to get in there even though what. the military the soldiers have taken off their uniforms they're in plain clothes now control the entire column. and. twelve members of parliament opposition members have been unconstitutionally op from entering the parliament even me i've not been i'm still i still hold to all the members who are on right to cross party get into running there's no place for

bribery in a democratic governing system so as part of a list of the as a kind of point i was saying there is allegations of bribery there are allegations of corruption but also. allegations that president i mean jailed his political opponents and so will give us some context here for that dispute. well i mean it depends how far you want to go back but to talk about democracy in the mold . you know to an outsider that sounds like something that has existed there's not really been a fully functioning democracy in the maldives there was a thirty year dictatorship under mao we're not all go you who's now in the opposition coalition there was. a complicated transition there was there was some time under mohammed nasheed but he didn't have the time or the space or you know some of his partners the inclination to build that and now with we've had. just turned up to your means where there's been an assault on many many institutions and

individuals on the media within the country and so we need to go right back to the start you know building. those democratic institutions is going to take a lot of work and we're we're not in a place where we can just say ok. change of government now just just get it going again with the democracy that has not been built and it needs to be well to illustrate that point you mentioned simon the she that is the country's first democratically elected president he tweeted he writes congratulations to president elect you've done an extremely good service to not only to the people of the mall deaves but also to freedom loving people everywhere democracy is a historical inevitability and supports this tweet of circulated it's got about nearly five thousand likes but he is in exile and he's not the only one we actually heard from a fellow al-jazeera journalist her name is a he in a rush feed who is also an exile in sri lanka right now and here's what she tells

a stream about how she's feeling. so the opposition's victory means that a lot of people living in it's own can go home now so here in colombia there's more than a dozen people and their families who've been out of the country for several years i've been speaking to some of them here and there's a lot of joy about the possibility of returning home but many of them say they're not taking chances until this is my transition to power for me personally i've been outside of them all these more than two years now and i'm really looking forward to seeing my family especially my niece who is one year old and why haven't yet. jeffrey what do you make of that comment there are several. the number really is not countable but there are people who are in exile where certain heard from some of them what you make about the numbers not because a lot of the time or so oh there's no charges against

a lot of people there's no reason why they. can't and i would like to these people have been wrong and right. they've had threats instances that the threat of jail not by the government. armament that you are a part of one of the biggest problem i had last ten years has been that we have seen the very worst that our nation has to offer and finally the political discourse and that's laced with absolute bigotry. that will allow gangs and criminals to rule the country and we are in gangs and going to littles not to rule the country there's no shortage certainly certainly isn't gary more than another. you don't need to do not be little the threat that these people have received i'm not belittling the threat that they. live there under self-imposed exile because

this is what they. know they don't want to live as i know they want government is responsible anyone for for everyone so let's think that you know what i mean obviously in new needs he has not met the needs i want just that i have a lot of love that you know my point is and that i have to make sure that he was a mess you can't hear another day any. more that's the problem whew hew so i have to leave the country i want to jump in here because i want to make sure that our audience is i want to make sure our audience is hearing what you're saying what you've said and of course that he is a former stream gas and so she's described some of the threats she's had against her previously but as you're saying she had a machete thrown at her there were death threats and jeffrey i hear what you're saying that you're saying it's a political climate it's not necessarily coming from the president's office but will you also can't go back to them all deeds that correct. well no i my case i wouldn't say i can't i say i probably shouldn't because i don't think it would it

would end up well for me but the suggestion that there's a soap and people like that you know for people like me you want to say who it's you began the process of exposing so much of the corruption is just laughable i mean these people have been under huge threats journalists have gone missing. as you said that was a machete ledged launched in the door of one of those journalists. and all sorts of attacks and equal to that accident and by the government there police investigations into the weapon to the suzi supporters of the government applauding a lot of the news involved what is what is clear is that there was like the police investigation into the model of yama and that he didn't know what happened to those police investigation the families and the way things that the people with all the suspects will let free what kind of will this investigation that you're talking

about just me before jeffrey answers that i want to share this tweet from the president elect to pledge to open investigations and to to the people that we're talking about here this is during the campaign i pledged to open investigations into journalist ahmed real once disappearance and i mean rashid's murder repeal the anti-defamation act and ensure press freedom jeffrey. the anti-defamation act first of all ensures that there is some measure of democratic responsibility to go along with them very rights one of the biggest problems that we have in multiuse is that there is no true adherents to truett instead there's deference to hyperbole time and time again and it does and they don't write any semblance of honesty in what they're reporting and that is a problem that is something that needs to be interests but that doesn't mean they defend the defamation and you have no need to act like it's any more yeah i mean really really not much you really don't need to defend the death of the you know

don't even get part owner isn't getting the rape threats monthly done only not only when you are in and of the you know the end of friends as well and it and i would make it all so evil and gentle frankly i'm going to pull you apart for a moment because i want to bring in this comment live via you tube time and rights and what is the assurance that this transition will uphold freedom for the people and not power to the elected government this is the theme of this conversation because i've heard it from some of you already today well what's your answer to that. well i think actually certainly what it is going to uphold it is is some semblance of freedom because your mind is not in power anymore it is not systematically taking away those freedoms the challenge now is how do you build a coalition that can in turn build a functioning government how does that coalition work you know we need the parliamentary elections to certainly work out the share of power in terms of seats

and then after that we need to work out who is going to have which ministries how there's going to be a division among those parties and to start actually building the capacity in those institutions which doesn't exist at the moment. and to talk about some of the things jeffrey is talking about you are you have a defamation law which criminalizes much much journalism actually. that needs to be fixed you have many other laws that need to be sought but need to be improved fictional or real encouraging values are going to be rebuilt. of course we need to turn our coverage but does does not what the defamation law has been has been recent or in for defamation launch not slander and libel which is rampant and has been rampant in the maltese people make up stories that have no basis in reality and that comes from our politics the problem is that politicians feel like

the only way to mobilize their base is to galvanize their support is to resort to more and more extreme rhetoric and its rhetoric of polarization which is really debilitating our country's ability to bring the multis after ten years of this kind of language of this kind of of virulent anger and hate politicians in moldavia or understanding to your most peace to promote peace in our country and that's something that doesn't happen especially have more ads we have how do you explain the state media acting like president own p.r. machine not facing any consequences of that absolute and open political bias but any t.v. stations any newspapers that are not aligned to the government on faith with threats that. they generally it's that correct and they have to find the exulting song how do you explain that consciously i mean the man that

a lot of. them and they are a little bit less what you've said that sentence on the managing director of the board of the state media was the n c for president young and last rally of the campaign how do you explain that difference. what are the positions people might have. going to that people. ok so you heard the question from even then we got an answer from jeffrey i want to bring in our for what they are looking for to under this new president president elect so here are two comments from people of what they want the government to focus on this is psychopath who writes and we're hoping that it will mean a return of our fundamental rights as granted in the constitution the fear of being arbitrarily detained would not be the norm that he will work on cleaning up the judiciary and law enforcement were sorely in need of assistance so that's one

person's opinion another person writes and this is what they are looking forward to in the next administration health care affordable and accessible improving our living conditions livable wages we can't afford to keep destroying our environment and he wants honesty and transparency even how doable are these lists of things in the next ministration in your perspective i think doable i think over the last five years what was lacking over the last seven years in. the political will and the commitment to not. to not for people that. need instead. on corruption. on on. and and you know we have an extension we have a recovery commission and over this over the next instruction and we are you we haven't. brought. their only. has a record of being as

a member of parliament as a moment a democrat for the past twenty five years and i think he's proven himself to be like i said a dependable person a democrat committed to democracy democracy so i think and he has pledged throughout his campaign he pledged openness he pledged transparency he pledged fanous and also a number of other pledges housing education and i think as he is also repeatedly said and as we can see him in the maldives has one of the highest g.d.p. per capita in the entire region with close to nine thousand g.d.p. per capita so therefore we do have the money we just need to have zero tolerance and production and we need to put these and put this money into education into health into housing into the environment and to building our institutions and some of that will have to come with money the funds making sure that the country has the funds to do it which brings me to this point that several people have raised you to

creative says what do you think about the future of chinese investment in the maldives another person writes and will the maldives have more military ties with china or india two of the people closely two of the countries really closely watching these elections on the china angle china has given investment into the country this is a comment we got from the schwann about a civil society activists and here's what he thinks. more this isn't produce more than one point one billion dollars in gold but china we know the country has only spent less than a quarter of this amount we also know that this money is not a spent wisely not all of it a little has actually going to go into kind of thing so the incoming president needs to make sure every penny of this money is accounted for he also needs to make sure that he was the death of china we know that china is already in slave you know
