garments to be recycled by companies like what you sell. i'm quite curious to see if there's anything in here if there's that's the thing you're a look at they can be any clothes they can be any brands clothing we have been working with think globally talents and designers on ensuring that this recycling program actually continues to increase so that it gets fed back into the calling supply chain and ultimately becomes next season's fashion so literally kind of closing the loop and that's where we want to get to that's that's where we want to get to. discovering the link between the fashion industry and before stacy was it was shocking i think with organizations like kind of the in the news so raising awareness there is hope for the future it's a massive challenge but i think when the public with the right information they'll be able to demand more from the retailer is and then we might see a precious forests still being the victims of fashion.

ecosystems are just like the systems of the but as long as they are looked after and managed well then the body is in good shape and if they're mismanaged and not cared for the body could potentially die. ecosystem collapse is akin to organ failure in our own bodies if enough of the organs that make up the terrestrial body are removed or are made sick the body dies. again the earth is no different. of us has a role to play in fixing this problem. we could have a world that is beautiful and vital and alive. or one that is quite bleak and quite brutal it's directly related to

what we choose to do whether or not we actually choose to do the work necessary to mend and repair and rehabilitate our ecosystems or to participate in their death. when some of the richest habitats on the planet in this remote corner of north eastern turkey is one which is proving to be an ecological jam conservationists have only recently realized its vital importance not only for local birds but also for those migrating from all over the world and yet the arris river wetland is under threat i've come here to me some man who's hoping to save this remarkable part of the world's. chance check a geologist as a world renowned on apologist souljah to become

a professor in the united states every year china returns to his homeland of turkey and comes to this hour it's part of the country push draws him here at the 5 kilometer squared pocket of land the irish river where. china came across it in 2005 and was looking just playing with google earth and i thought this looks like a globally important oasis in critical spot for migration breeding and wintering birds and is confident coming here in person and i thought this is this is a place where i want to do long term research to really understand what birds use this area this rare wetland situated in a dry sub desert region is created when the iris river floods it's ideally located the migrating birds are off $35.00 global hotspots we're at the intersection of not one but $23.00 of the eights world's global bird migration flyways intersect right where we are in north eastern turkey it is one of the most special wetlands on the

planet if you base it discovered a treasure trove how did you feel it was so exciting and it was so beautiful i mean i really did not expect after 15 years we would have recorded almost $300.00 burst species the 2 thirds of the end tar even far off the whole country. recorded over centuries i mean in this one spot of the 290 bird species on eva 4 and i documented here 21 globally threatened or near threatened legal action vulture and to the current but further danger is looming the government wants to down this tar valley as far as that village over there flood this whole place all this will be under 45 meters of water and every season i come here just seeing it still there is like a relief because i'm always afraid it will all be gone i have to come here and see

it for myself. early the next morning chan takes me to the burgeoning station down in the wetlands and says he's currently fighting the calls to reverse the government's decision to build the dam he hopes the data gathered here look at the wetlands rich biodiversity and thereby ensure its protection we see everything here from minus 10 to plus 40 centigrade in the shade during a very cold here or very well that was 10 degrees today exactly to get inside sort of yeah we're going to see on the oh yeah we do we really are right in this turkey inside the team already hard at work. raising the city to the tiny way and i touch i don't want to. know if you've got. $600.00 metres of bird nets that surround the station every hour from sunrise to sunset during spring and autumn

migration seasons the nets check to see if any bad so flooding into them is going to check the raptor and that. there's nothing there so we go back to birds migrate to find conditions favorable for living and breathing it's early in the season here so bird numbers are low but there are some beautiful specimens so we've got a bird's ok and that's what's this is up. to the elect or. they hit the slide into our pocket and then get entangled. some of the birds courts here have flown for days nonstop and migrate for hundreds or even thousands of kilometers initially to be able to survive the journey is one thing they all meet that feel right before migration some birds will double their body mass and that's why places like this are so critical because they need these stop over locations to keep eating and to keep replenishing their fuel reserves now that i'm down in the

valley i can get a sense of why they stop because it's warmer that just a bit higher up there's water everywhere it's a phone it's coming out and the thing that you can't see on camera is that there's actually less insects so there's a huge amount of food to be got here by migrating birds one in 8 bird species are facing global extinction due to perils including habitat loss and pollution so it's only increases the importance of an oasis like this these days if you're studying biodiversity it's almost impossible not to become an activist because you know your study things that are being destroyed every moment you study them one roman ramírez is a spanish ornithologist one of $401.00 in tears from $33.00 countries who've come to work here since chances at the station in 2005 now we've got the brits from usenet it would go to the station would bring them think. that on the back of the right.

it was born in italy last year and this is the 1st it's been the nation for this bird it's amazing so even when it's just one year old it knows instinctively where it has to go that's incredible. natural signs including changing day length trigger the birds who moans which switch on the urge to travel. all the information gathered here is sent to a central database a chance university in utah. ready with on m.l.s. . jockeys. and some one of your 6 or. one of those. who will live to get on the. good. if not score free for this very very condition on the other one by blowing on the bird chest one can tell it's fact levels if it is pink they are alive and if yellow

the bird is clump enough to travel on its own. just saw those lights and think that this bird has come from really thousands of kilometers forever for the start of its journey in africa. it's just extraordinary is it so tiny and then awesome. that all of that for every individual with a couple of for this. or you can feel its heart beating its tiny little heart once all the data has been gathered the bird can be released we don't want to go. over 14 years the team have ringed around a $108000.00 birds. when they're caught elsewhere researches can contact the station here and their migration can be tracked. i feel like i've learned so much about why this place is so important as a refueling station for those birds which are travelling across the world on their

journeys and being here with the team and witnessing of their passion and their commitment to the cool was has really brought home to me just how important this place is. but 16 kilometers up the road and it's a reminder that despite its importance the fate of the ara through the wetland is far from secure this is why i wanted to bring you here just to see what happens when you build a dam on our us river could birds not live here i've scanned already and there's basically nothing i mean there's a couple things on the arid cliffs but where the wetland birds nothing on the shoreline no waders on the mudflats. about a decade after this is built there's no revegetation hardly anything has come back and remember at our us it's the floodplain of the river that's creating all those

wetlands and because here by design there will not be any flooding you're not going to have that rich soil and all the vegetation that grows on the whole valley will look like this ecologically dead everywhere you go around the world this that fine balance between development and nature and of course progress has to be made what's needed is solutions that benefit both populations and the natural world. chan has some reason to feel hopeful in its efforts to win protected status for the arris river wetlands. in 2009 with data provided by him and his team make 70 kilometers north of paris was designated a ram style. international recognition as being a global importance i can see hundreds hundreds or any yeah i said it was so badly kitted out and see the cranes got there and there are some ducks in there these

critical lakes when dealing in going out one by one so could you because one of the last and most important lakes in the entire north eastern turkey but rams are stated. doesn't mean the lake is thriving direct impact such as draining it for irrigation and hunting and stuff but indirect threats remain ground water extraction 3 nearby wells is reducing the lakes water levels and animals still raise the rate beds in september 28th the lake dried up completely it was just dry but during the season when it is the most important for birds there was no water and no birds the chance a it's a rap star site and declare victory and walk away i mean conservation is a never ending battle like as long as that place is there you have to make sure it stays chan is working on

a number of fronts to save the lake and has just signed an agreement to protect it with the provincial governor meanwhile his struggle to prevent the dam from being built on the arris river wetland continues just coming here regularly year after year with eyes being the importance of the work we are doing and even if i lose i'll have it on my conscience although i have done my best and i didn't just turn my back and gave. it to that tomatoes around half the world's wetlands have disappeared in the past century. lake and the iris river wetlands have a chance to champion them but as global development continues apace more wetlands in other parts of the world are going to need a local hero to fight that corner. across the globe ecosystems affording victim to human exploitation. one possible way of ensuring that protection is to enshrine their right to defend themselves in the law

. and the us in the 1970 s. a legal scholar called christopher stone proposed that nature should be seen as a living entity with the same legal rights as people. it works through human represent. be able to stand up in court and defend itself against threats to its well being. since then the idea has been. in 2008. constitution becoming the 1st country to give nature the legal right to exist and flourish and in 2017. was given legal status after fought for its rights to be. the way forward isn't simple with the future of conservation. nature has recourse to justice.

massacre on al-jazeera. talk to al-jazeera. we ask problems and besides the instability is corruption we listen since i hadn't been so are pushing the united states and president trump into conflict we meet with global news makers and talk about the stories that matter just 0. 0. 0000 the african union suspends sit down and warns it may impose sanctions on those behind the violent crackdown on protesters. and how he'd say this is all to. sirup life and doha also coming up mexico's

president says he's confident and i would say an immigration deal can be reached to avoid a hefty levy from the white house next week. russia's president says the u.s. avoiding talks on a nuclear weapons treaty could lead to a new arms race plus. i john here in portland where they're building skyscrapers out of wood i'll tell you why coming up. the african union has suspended sudan's membership in response to the cracks in on protesters by the military genzer more than $100.00 people have been killed since monday including attacks on a citizen at military headquarters in khartoum well the african union's peace and security council says the suspension will remain in effect until power is handed

over to civilians to a u. is also considering imposing sanctions against individuals it says are responsible for the violence though they haven't yet been identified guys who for that besides that shoot it's as if the military council feared to hand over power to civilian later as a shell of authority without any affordably or to magically impose predictive measures on individuals and entities that are out of structure in the establishment of the civil. authorities. the u.s. meanwhile has renewed calls for the resumption of talks to form a civilian led government's process leaders rejected an offer for talks from the military jinsa russia's foreign ministry says while it supports elections it opposes any foreign intervention and the housing calls for restraints of the un.

what we're trying to also do is remain in close contact with the african union and to support their initiatives in dealing with this crisis but but we have urged restraint from the security forces and we urged that the government respect all of the basic human rights of the people including freedom of expression and freedom of assembly where on the grounds of process leaders remains of finance we'll hear more from them in just a moment but 1st stephanie decker has this reports. an eerie quiet on the streets of the sudanese capital these are roadblocks set up by the protesters we are told there are an act of defiance against the rapid support forces the group behind the raid on the protest camp on monday the african union suspended sudan following an emergency session on thursday and to listen 1000000000 government is formed so far nothing has been resolved to bridge the divide between the gentiles and the protest groups i think that. the african union has seemingly only just responded because

the big powers are but to be part of my worry is that on this occasion the russians seem to be on the wrong side of history in that region simply because i think there's an element of global politics in. egypt the u.a.e. and saudi arabia are all countries visited recently by the head of the new the self-appointed military council abdel fatah has called for a new talk to the protesters. a move rejected by the opposition who say they cannot negotiate in good faith following the recent killings. violence escalated on monday when the rapid support forces are s.f. raided the protest camp outside the military headquarters the death toll continues to rise bodies have been pulled out of the river nile with reports of beatings and rapes carried out at the hands of the r s f the group formerly known as the jonjo weed who stand accused of committing war crimes in darfur it's very difficult to

get a clear picture of what's going on al-jazeera has been banned from reporting despite having a bureau in the country the protesters say they want an end to military rule and for a fleeting moment it seemed to go she ations between the military and the people may have resulted in some form of change but it wasn't to be. the measure is called for elections in 9 months time but no one knows what will happen until then stephanie decker al-jazeera. well joining us on the phone from khartoum is muhammad's are his son labatt's the african union special envoy to sudan thanks very much for speaking to us here at al-jazeera 1st of all there have been some unconfirmed reports that unconfirmed reports that the ethiopian prime minister has offered to mediate and is trying to get in touch with the military council are you able to confirm this. that.

this is the very group it was because the african union was has to pull their vehicle to not deny that i am but i. live action our vision and organize they should be god for it is exempt from dr tiller's if exhibit a their private is that of a church that can too flock from about 3 or 4 parts africa to bring in the police because addition and a political agreement to. putting on. busy the democratic politician who is for them and have the african union itself being in touch with sudan's military leadership and if so what have i what has a little mother i'm terribly sorry the quality of the line is it's rather challenging but i just like to find cites is the african union itself has

spoken see the military leadership in see done and if so what has their reaction been to the action taken by. we are in a very close watch. list at that easy proposition that. we have the good the militia that event that activity. but the leadership has lead the quality of. declination of sort of see them and the changes we've just just ended and there politically they believe vision is ringback freedom which it is about for the whole. good a ripple effect they didn't give a fuck they got it we funding limitation of it you knew what they got it we're trying to get their demand and the requirements of love. there is very sad and very very difficult. isn't that has to be what are the

demands from the military side of it we know what the months of the protesters are they want the military to there what are the demands from the military side in c. don we really. strongly as african union or i'm not to get in the favor of the old and again probably lack of an option they even. though it's true they get by that is that it counts as maybe if i did all of it graduations related. strongly believing in a covert function on getting the shooting. initially you think. that the foundation that civilian positions and then back out of it how do you various * on this and get set up for both back to the state that they did not get

on the auction that is a pretty big on his hopes for that. to. break. out chairman that there have always been to have a have because you know this is out there already but it was not a 50 kind of percent of the. issue is certainly take the time to even have a different concept they are almost they are very needed footage and i'm going to rip on t.v. and it isn't good it's going to be finished and to work out the do just school today i'm less a c. in the military does not handle overpower the african union has given the military a deadline to hand over power or if they do it is you know that was sitting there and said as it lies before and big a there is a decision. taken to council that says that just the way it is take over. fact i have said is not to be. shouldn't be allowed that to be he should be

reassured please feel our very good argument good parties. there there were good rich and i didn't and out so now that their guilt is led of course should people take accountability councillor i get rejuvenation. really really really well could be attributed to support to support the implementation of the agreement and to support by its own fortunately the noble i think our part of it and i'm sure that part of political support to see the good government well i truly really thought that ok muhammad al-hassan the bouts thank you very much indeed for speaking to us on the line from khartoum and apologies for the quality of that line. now mexico's president says he feels confidence an immigration deal can be reached with the us to prevent trade tariffs being imposed on monday donald trump's demands in mexico stops the flow of migrants from central america towards the u.s.

border diplomats are due to have more talks in boston since a find a deal that will satisfy trump. i think a lot of back with me yes the we have to make the right thing. in making the many many years i'm going to be doing in the alley when they've been making an absolute fortune on the you know you need them to step up with their stamp on the playing and perhaps they will think you know the problem well we have to report says on this developing story john homan is in mexico city for as he approaches the reaction from president obrador but 1st let's cross to kimberly whole kit sees the white house kimberly these threats from the u.s. are on growing but just how serious are they. they're very serious and so the talks will resume we are told here at the white house 800 g.m.t.

so we're watching very carefully to see as the any of the delegations might arrive we understand these will be staff level talks we do know from the u.s. vice president mike pence that there was this feeling on both sides that the talks on wednesday were positive but at the same time the united states is standing firm in its view that mexico must do more in fact in the words of mike pence he says the time has come for mexico to act decisively to bring the crisis of illegal immigration to end and now the view of the truck administration is that mexico has been turning a blind eye to migrants who've been crossing from central america with out a transit visa through mexico and then flooding in historic proportions they say along the southern border of the united states and mexico this is something they want to see concrete steps from the mexican delegation to stop we are told that there has been some overtures already in terms of

a plan presented to the united states but the united states still saying they need more or those tariffs will go into effect next week 5 percent monthly going up potentially to 25 percent but there is pushback in this country many feel that says going to hurt american consumers american businesses still donald trump doubling down on his threats to put it in place if he doesn't get what he wants ok kimberly holcomb fanaa thank you let's get more on the view from mexico on home and is in mexico city jordan give us a sense of what the president there and said this morning. well the mix computerization on this in general has been we're already doing quite a lot the delegation in washington has put in it term recent days that they've detained and deported about 80000 people in the last 6 months and that's roughly double or almost all.
