helps clean up denny but as to clearly vulnerable to its dirty air. and. we're. actually. at a learning center run by an engineer children surprise me out of their knowledge of how the new ting the daily chores are but they say they have no other choice. but to. buy almost stoves are a leading cause of household. the indian government has made a commitment to replace them with gas and windows and 80000000 homes according to official figures almost 71000000 have benefited from this so far but many of the

poorest communities like these have yet to be reached. at. being here has made me realize that danny's apple comes from many sources big and small. it's only by the city's unique and atmospheric conditions pollution from other areas gets blown here and then gets trapped. what is surprising is that the fight for clean air was 1st fortier decades ago and partially one but experts say the gains have now been lost we cleaned up the public transport sector we cleaned up the auto rickshaws the grass polluting sector but then over the 2003 period to

2013 the private freight cars all in the in our cities because we completely neglected public transport and as it is out of fear we had this explosion of vehicles so neat on arayan was part of a campaign that led to public transport being switched to compressed natural gas or c. and g. we just got complacent we just believed that the problem had gone away but what we forgot is that any city like delhi will continue to grow and the challenges will increase so nor city in the world the job is done and i think for a city like delhi the the the knowledge is particularly painful because it affects our help every lucian is a public health that wouldn't see something we need to be densely what about.

it. so what are the authorities doing here to tackle the most obvious causes of delhi's dirty air. transport sector is one of the biggest. tribute to the city's happy use and this is made worse by the fact that there's a still real sharp fall in the public transport system the delhi government says it's taking steps to fix this problem. last year then he made the commitment that we will bring in $1000.00 we are looking buses this is the largest commitment by any city in india. i'm. just the delhi government has been working on an ambitious electric vehicle plan for the city if we are able to achieve the goal of ensuring that 25 percent of all new to start way goes in there are electrically in 5 years from now they're going to look

at 200 percent to transition and reduce this 30 to 40 percent it's contribution of transport sector for pollution for the city despite these commitments the delhi government has been accused of not doing enough in the 4 years of the delhi government not a single bus has been added they have given a plan for opposing me buses and sort of another 2000 ordinary buses but honestly. even that is too little why this is such a shortfall of buses will be strange for many people around the world to know that the elected government off there lee does not have any control over the land or which it can set up public transport facilities will bust me pause and and the central government can cause that and unfortunately the central government has not allowed their government any access to more land the will these kind of facilities . even when the authorities here do take action matters elsewhere can cause problems down the stations are

a case in point. the city's law school fired plant rather poor was shut down nastia. despite that the problem hasn't gone away it is very clear that air pollution is not a local problem it is a regional problem and what one finds a little ironical is that on one hand you close down by the border because it is polluting delhi but on the other hand new power plants have been approved which are within 100 kilometers of been in my own mental lawyer rig that has been fighting for cleaner emissions from power plants the government of india came out with a fairly progressive emission norms for power plants the idea is that they will install new equipments as a result of which the pollution level will go down by almost 30 to 40 percent. the deadline was initially fixed for 2017 but the plants are yet to switch to cleaner gnome's something which was hailed as one of the very important decisions taken by

the present government to deal with the environmental crisis has been simply put in the back burner because there was no interest by the power companies and no interest by the government to enforce this new norms. dirty coal plants are a problem familiar to other parts of the world india has another particularly does . sting to of pollution challenge. the fumes from millions of firecrackers set off during the hindu festival of the valley. it's the single largest sort. of deli nearly 2.5 percent of the new york pollution is caused by those 3 days of fireworks go on the line and is a senior supreme court advocates who joined other parents in filing a petition for clean air on behalf of their toddlers my middle child was having

serious broken issues on that day and because of the amount of pollutants we had in the school to the sniffling and coughing tossing and turning at night the toddler skiis moved the supreme court to 1st banned the sale of firecrackers and lead to allow them with strict conditions but despite this millions of firecrackers was set off. and it's this kind of ignorance that has brought children outside the environment ministry to ask for more government action on pollution will not be released completely we cannot move out. leaving i don't leave the film. we are not 6 able to believe. in the body guy evolution is a lot we don't expect a fight i have i think about how it was i was setting me up.

in answer to these and other concerns authorities have introduced a slew of measures including planting trees around the city building expressways and banning the import of dirty feel. in january 29000 delhi was among the cities listed in the country's 1st ever national clean air programme by the aquila he is still not good enough to go to india stop in. vironment official to ask why i got figures from your office and the number of good air quality days in delhi last year was 0 which is quite alarming one of the critical factors in the quality is the mature logical fact the continuous layer of washed over daily or this does is the. they prevent the dispersal of it here because of the moisture level in the disposal is very bad and that is why you rarely get to say

a good day that said to have an absolute number of 0 good air quality days and. despite so much government intervention doesn't that surprise you well that just means that we need to do more work there is one point i would like to make it cannot and should not be the government's responsibility alone people's participation is a huge thing unless that happens and individuals start caring for the environment we will not be able to really clean up. the combative and labyrinth tiny chel of indian politics is also a barrier one of the most contentious issues has been the burning of rice stubble outside of delhi which leaves the city in i think his every winter commodity immigrants here but unfortunately there were when this common scenario or money saudia is delhi's deputy chief minister he says the federal government must do more

to bring down stubble fires outside the city i was causeless some of the news and. it's got to have a regional crisis one case cost and they weren't going to really come up with the entire solomon holmes and lawrence about a bargain with the cynically meetings the bill out there but meeting successful is a little drama but historically reducible under saddam mitchell going to put out an anybody who plan malarkey. but i am saying to the delhi chief minister don't blame someone else i think pollution is too big a problem help them which n.c. for us to deteriorate into india's favorite game which is to blame another political party and get into screaming on television what's more says suneet on arayan the problem is not a lack of regulations it's getting them enforced implementation is india's at killie's he too because the institutions for governance for in foresman are very

disabled they are poor so there are enough orders that are there but our institutions really love to eat and according to data from the national crime records bureau violators on to being prosecuted or sent to jail this is what the state of the year has done it does not register a single case and so there's no question of anybody getting convicted because there's no given his history at all so that we get this straight and in all of them really we don't have a single conviction basically means all of that is complying with the law or there is for political gain and everybody complains with the law it's definitely is not true either is or will not see such alarming level of collusion so it is a clear instance where the enforcement agencies have kept their eyes completely closed to every single violation that is happening in the state. as i go around the city makes shocking revelations still ring in my yes

meanwhile delhi citizens continue to wrestle with health problems that pollution causes but there is at least some good news for priyanka all of these blasts for us this big one is all cancelled this is 3 months ago a look at the seams got here you see this block has completely disappeared and you can see these black supporter weren't really gone except the smaller doctor excellent news you got very happy with thank you david so don't you think this is like increase my life but it's ok really crazy lives for the girls it's working you know what we don't bowl and you nobody can predict really about most so many heroes . out on the streets campaigning is getting louder although after you stand has made it to party manifestos for the 1st time ever it's still not

a major election issue but for a recently bereaved family just outside delhi it became a matter of life and death. struggle to beit means there were windows open and there were is and she was asking for and she was . sometime our died a few weeks ago at the age of 35 she left behind her husband of a and a 10 year old son story on church who now wants to become a doctor. just because the cancer spreading in india continues isn't going to be so we have to stop disturbing pollution is every bit that it's affecting and some of the people. i'm going hard become a fog. she was my best friend she was my last season my love and she well

oh it's like. meeting some of the worst affected but. has made me realize there is little time to lose in the fight folk clean up and. grieving is the most important. fact is that you know that you're doing it every moment and that's your source of life. the government really needs to take it up as a one of its priorities before anything else. really is so polluted that it's causing so many. as i leave. my beloved city is facing its greatest challenge from an invisible

killer. and the government and citizens treat this as a margin see millions will continue to risk their lives just by creating. she was black. i'm from rio de janeiro. she was also an elected outspoken councilwoman. until she was assassinated. investigates the killing of a vocal critic of brazil's security forces and the legacy of empowerment she left behind.

all the security forces fire shots in an attempt to just burst. this is all just 0 a lie from headquarters and. also ahead mexico's president for migration controls

offer donald trump threatens to impose tariffs more fighting in southern tripoli with a new offensive against the forces of libyan warlords. also mixed signals warnings that. threaten the future of. hello shots have been fired towards protesters in. so hard to miss the army tried to stop demonstrators from setting up barricades outside the military headquarters there has been a large sit in there by those who are demanding a civilian government a military council has ruled. president a lot of bashir was ousted from power in a coup in april and there are also reports of gunfire and 2nd largest city. where there had been regular protests before and since bashir is removal earlier i spoke to founder and president of sudan policy forum he says external powers may be

influencing what's happening inside done. i think we are already in the 2nd of the revolutions sudan has morphed into disick and is the because the government now is clearly working under the auspices of foreign nations so what do you mean by the 2nd stage the fairness is they will they were putting an act i mean the t.m.c. the transition in military was putting an ak trying to dis deceive the protestors and the sudanese people into thinking that they are the guardians of the national sovereignty they are willing to. influence you know a transition to democracy they will help facilitate that transition but obviously speaking i mean after visits to some. parts i think. they have now lost the ability to put such an act i mean all of the probably they

have received some assurances that they don't need to worry about you know they intend the dynamics of the nation it's very obvious that after having visited saudi arabia general. and his vice and me they came up with a different look at the they are now putting a different face previously they were very diplomatic in their appeal to the people i know they are very blunt. and it seems that. they are not very much worried about the intended dynamics because probably they have received tons of money they have received assurances that they will get some support from international policy of multi-unit from old allies through traditional rivals u.s. president donald trump seems to be using tariffs as a political weapon to settle everything from trade disputes to immigration on friday trump threatened to impose tariffs on mexico if it doesn't stop migrants

from entering the u.s. in what appears to be in a tie. to defuse the standoff though mexico's president has hinted at tighter migration controls the u.s. is also ending a decades long preferential trade agreement with india and as of saturday american ports began collecting 25 percent terrorists on several goods coming from china while beijing's retaliatory taxes on $60000000000.00 worth of u.s. products of also come into effect john holeman is tracking the reactions in mexico city but 1st we'll speak to roles in jordan over and washington so what is that the trumpet ministration then once mexico to do. well essentially the u.s. is threatening to impose a 5 percent tariff or tax on all mexican goods coming into the u.s. unless mexico cracks down on the attempts by central american migrants to cross

from mexican territory into u.s. territory the president has made this threat under what he calls emergency acts that deal with what he says is a crisis of immigration on the border between the u.s. and mexico of course this is the sort of thing daryn that is normally not done usually tariffs on goods being sold in another country result because of some sort of dispute over trade not because of some other some other policy or some other issue that has nothing to do with the economy and so this is a move that has already engendered bipartisan condemnation in the u.s. congress and it has the u.s. chamber of commerce and other business groups contemplating perhaps a lawsuit to try to stop this terror from taking effect but of course the mexican foreign minister mr is already here in washington he is expected to meet with the

secretary of state mike pompei on wednesday to try to negotiate prevention of this terror being levied on mexican goods there's no guarantee though that this meeting on wednesday will succeed all right rosen jordan thank you for that update from washington let's now bring in john heilemann he's joining us from mexico city so any sign from the mexican president that he is trying to defuse a tensions with the u.s. . well i think at the moment the mets can president is sort of he's preaching restraint of about this he's preaching sort of measure about this he's saying that he hopes that the u.s. administration is going to change their mind over these additional terrorist which would be very damaging actually for the mets can economy by far the biggest amount of mexican exports do go to the united states so this is a huge deal for this country but i think the president under his mantra lopez

obrador is hoping the president from changes his mind based around the fact that in his 6 months that he's been in power he has actually been getting progressively tougher the people heading through mexico from honduras el salvador guatemala many of them trying to get to the united states for instance just in a pro there was an 80 percent increase in the number of people were detained from that month in the year before and we've heard about the famous caravans these big groups of people that are heading through mexico he also had a mass arrest of people heading through in a caravan and arrested more than 300 people so he's been trying to send signs to president trump and his administration that he is acting on the migration thing he says that he's going to continue to out of this the respect in the human rights of people he says that are heading through from other countries but this is a president in mexico that is really he hasn't wanted this confrontation with

president trump he's tried to stay away from that as much as possible he's tried to concentrate on the issues in the country one of those being the record levels of violence that mexico is experiencing right now and another pressing issue that's come out that really and that's a huge numbers of false disappearances in the country more than 40000 people missing another 26000 people that have been found but that haven't been identified by authorities they remove all common ground common grays around the country just waiting to. identified we went to sin aloa which is one of the hot lines of organized crime in mexico to take a look more at the problem as you'll see in our report. luce movie is sifting through mud from the bottom of the can now trying to find the remains of her son he's been missing since armed men burst into his house and took him away that was 5 years ago finding pieces of his body is probably the closest to closure.

and i don't want my life going through a 360 degree spin i don't have peace i can't sleep here waiting for someone to come and tell you he's there or he was dumped here a 1000 questions with no answers. those questions are being asked by groups of relatives who are scouring the country looking for the 40000 missing for the 1st time we had the chance to put those questions to a man who admits disappearing people he works for the sin aloa cartel i asked him why they hide their big tins the answer he says is simple more than without a body there's no crime. no body no crime. it's a common belief in mexico's criminal world it's not completely accurate but the lack of a body doesn't make any murder investigation much harder but that's not the only reason gangsters disappear people it's also meant as a warning to kruger we have

a saying it's a dodgy business but we play straight so when someone's given a chance to work on his own to sell the product and we don't pay their dues we make an example of them and say the others work rate or the same is going to happen to you oh no but of course many of those who disappear in mexico as simply innocent bystanders that hasn't stopped the gangs from inflicting on thousands of families and then ending punishment. afterwards when we when you've seen the results for the family how was that made you feel when they're still looking for their lost their lost relative and you know where they all were you know that at least they're dead but you don't tell them i mean how does that feel remorse. it's something that we know was painful for the families sometimes to come and ask us and i know with a relative views but i can't tell them because i'll probably end up just like the victim. maybe you feel better because they could be your friends or people you know but there's nothing you can do. now the government has

a new plan to point the disappeared it said unlimited funds will be made available to searching through forensic facilities to identify bodies. but that won't take away the motivation for criminal groups in the forty's to hide the victims well that remains so too will be a desperate search is who lost loved ones john home and does it or similar forces loyal to libya's u.n. recognize government say they forced warlords and if a half satisfied south of the capital or near the disused internet for it they said they were also bombed have terrorist positions in the south at least 3 fighters were killed during the operation the u.n. says more than 90000 people have fled their homes to escape the fighting what i'm going to have more from tripoli. clashes started on saturday between forces loyal to the you and your goodness the government of national accord and others led by the warlord khalifa haftar in the vicinity of the old international active airport

on this southern western part of the libyan capital the government forces say that they are determined to be captured at the airport because it has been this supporting hub for hazardous forces in 4 main axes north of the airport in its windy and 3 get on the axes and east of the airport in a little for the journey and sat up and axes that the government forces say that the recaptured at the airport they can then cut the supporting line going for have those forces from the airport to those 4 main axes the also say that they can easily take control of the airport and they look at they have to his forces locations in the vicinity of the airport they can also open the way towards area would have to his forces are located there the situation remains very tense on the southern outskirts of the libyan.
