if you look at our current economy it's predominantly linear we take the material out of the ground we make something out of it and then the majority that material gets thrown away we have a growing world population we have more and more pressure on resources the system we have today cannot run in the long term we need to shift that economy to be one that uses materials rather than using them up. within a circular economy right from the beginning you build economy so you design out waste and pollution you keep products cycling within the economy for as long as possible and then you look at regenerating natural systems through the biological materials to feed into that economy so effectively the straight line turns into a circle. to build that circular economy for plastics you need to go right to the beginning of the system we need to redesign the way we think about plastics the way we design plastics and the way we use plastics so we need to eliminate the plastic that we don't need we need to innovate for different forms of plastic which are 100 percent recyclable and we need to look at how we circulate plastics designing

a system whereby that material is collected has value and feeds back into the system the thing that motivates me the most about the future is there is a massive opportunity to redesign our global economy if we redesign the economy so it's circular not only will we build an economy that can run in the long term but it will unlock trillions of u.s. dollars of economic opportunity and it will effectively decouple economic growth from resource constraints. plastic pollution is the hot topic in the world environmental issues the damage that it causes is long lasting and wide ranging but whilst there is a growing consciousness of the problems that plastic caused and you might even be doing things yourself to solve it there is one problem that is simply hiding in plain sight. every day week you always hear 374 truly. pieces of. what you might not know is that chewing gum is

essential to be chewing this piece of plastic. bottles chewing gums and trouble comes from oil. in fact gum is a very similar material to latex bicycle in achieves. and every year we chalk away $100000.00 tons of that globally much of it straight on to the federal. government is 2nd only to cigarettes as the world's most lifted item. across the globe we spend $25000000000.00 every year. and demand is predicted to rise to $48000000000.00 in 2025. it is estimated that 92 percent of pavements in london have chilling gum stuck on with 300000 pieces estimated to be on oxford street and. it's up to a small army of workers to clear the one. i'm 70 miles southwest of london in

winchester to find out what damage can do. and how do you counsel a john warneke is in charge of keeping the city streets clean. how much of a problem is common when just they estimate that every year councils in britain are spending more than 60000000 pounds a year just clearing up the will to say take me back actually that's a huge figure and i want. to well than just being spanked collecting all the waste off the full. of course is really only one way to get a true flavor of the gum problem on our streets. things are not count so operations manager darren know it has offered to show me the right. yeah i'm going to wrangle me right i see president right now right yeah you go work for 100. yeah it's very

much like. the coming out to. be quite satisfying job to be honest but. children such tough loss of respect for the guys doing so it's hard to. know. what it's come is for me it usually ends up in landfills. as a plastic gum isn't fire degradable i would never decompose. but i've heard about an ingenious new initiative that's not only keeping the sticky stuff off the pavements but turning it into something useful. coffee cups i think the most impressive thing about them they're actually made out the recycled chewing gum never knew you could reach that one but here you have it. it's quite impressive business yeah i think and series table doesn't and ok so when they 1st came

out and what were your cool i thought it was a bit of a joke to me but i just couldn't believe that this could be made out of people's material just makes you think oh that's so on which you know it's disgusting but that when you realise that's been true of heating prices it's completely down a tree it's just really inspiring what can be done with chewing. the cups and made from a base material could come to. him when just to university the room a terry was for the cox a collective will of a compass and distinctive bright pink bins. that cooled gum drops and inspiring ideas from design and the benefits. i you must be honest highness me hi nice me to you to these must be your pens tell me a bit about them yet these are the gumdrop bins that they all been specifically for the disposal of waste chewing gum and the idea is that somebody can come along up there use chewing gum in there once it's full whole thing comes back to us and we respect. clips and we can actually recycle 3 new gumdrops out of one. is based on

a closed loop recycling process ok so why go all the solutions out there at the moment all address communist once it's already been dropped there is nothing out there that is actually addressing it from the front and so i saw a gaffe in the market for a product like this and also way of talking behavioral change when it comes to the governator and giving people as opposed to place to spaces that change so how does gum end up in a coffee cup. i'm a has offered to show me the prices in action at the gumdrop factory in worcester. so once we get the full gumdrop bins that goes through the 1st part of the process which she sighs for jesus it can actually see the gum when it's been crushed up b. c. it will be on the letters that are in there along with a gun shoot chewing gum chewing gum with a cupcake. then goes through the 2nd stage which separates the gum drop in

the chewed gum and the other ways we then take this away yeah we've had to mix it with recycled materials which get he fit in compounded. fees. which go on forever she may then when you come to bed early i will start again. the gum tech material can be molded into a whole range of products. not just cups but stationary key rings boots and shoes. for a little then he says some of the products that we have at the moment ok. to the best this is actually a really fun project we had that was done in collaboration with the council in amsterdam who want to highlight the amount of calmness to have such on the streets and i'm stumped so you'll see the so here is actually a map. of the straw poll that we looked at. the gumdrop

story continues to grow. there now some 650 come to locations across the u.k. from train stations and city centers to airports and schools and with new interest in europe and the usa and has global ambitions for the company and its ethos. working more publicly is definitely something that we want to do because that will say broaden the the awareness and the message around behavioral change and what we can actually do with with the recycle change. were at the university of winchester where the gumdrop charles began were they employed a scheme designed to do more than just keep gum off our streets. as well as installing the gum drops they also gave away the 10000 reusable gum based cups. the scheme inspired a paradigm shift to waste. environment. it was behind

introducing gumdrop to the campus. so how much of an effect have these cultures had on the sale of plastic and general kind of copy companies today we have saved 85000 disposable crops from being used there are now 10000 of these cuts in circulation and we have just committed to eliminating single use plastics by 2022 so the cops are really good stuff in the right direction and i think it has really captured people's imaginations because it's quite nice that we could link it to the chewing gum recycling and by having your coffee or helping to close the way. these gum drug bands have started a chewing gum recycling craze but it's much more than that it's about changing people's behavior and people like anna are inspiring people to think about the way they use single use products which is so critical if we're going to be able to reverse any of the. worrying environmental trends.

entrepreneurs across the globe a ton in their attention to the plastic menace. in september 201824 year old dutch inventor boy and slots launched an ambitious operation to use a giant boom on the ocean's natural currents to clean up the pacific's giant island of plastic waste known as the great pacific garbage patch. 2 months later a crack in the system forced the prototype back to pool but the team was still able to collect terabytes of data and over 2 tons of ocean plastic waste. they report they'll soon be ready to relaunch. but what can we do with all the waste plastic we collect. in the u.k. one in france has found a clever way to plug holes with

a new road material made in part from waste plastic. and in the philippines a 15 year old schoolboy undertook to tackle the country's plastic bag problem with a biodegradable variety made from coconuts. with clever ideas like these we may just be able to stand the plastic toy and. after years of overgrazing the damage caused to the precious grasslands of chile is being reversed with one of the world's biggest ever conservation projects. they're pretty emblematic of the paddocks hands out if they're plentiful and they're like this one is then you know that the system is going back and that they feel no threats and that's why your eyes are rewilding patagonia on al-jazeera.

we understand the differences. and the similarities of cultures across the world so no matter how you take it al-jazeera will bring in the news and current affairs that matter to al-jazeera. stories generate thousands of headlines with different angles from different perspectives on just a long standoff with international borders is finally separate the spin from the facts the misinformation from the journalism protesters complain about the under reported of police violence the sensationalizing of the demonstrations with the listening post on al-jazeera. was. true confession smart not a big cleanup but not or

a cynical example of communist propaganda and i wanted to put it in the paper here i want to walk bare all i want to do is i'll call him 2010 al-jazeera access to north korea to investigate be alleged use of biological warfare by the us during the korean war rewind revisits dirty little secrets on al-jazeera. i stand before you to officially launch my campaign for a 2nd term. donald trump kicks off his reelection campaign at a rally in florida. and

has a stake in this is live from doha also coming up the u.n. calls for an investigation into the death of egypt's former president mohamed morsy as mourners pay their respects in his hometown. young with guns the u.s. secretary of state stop saudi arabia from being added to a list of countries that recruit child soldiers. i offer my most sincere apology kongs leader says sorry but protestors are valid and there won't be any let up. another script has barely changed as donald trump nor his campaign to be reelected u.s. president he attacked his political opponents and doubled down on his 2016 promises white house correspondent kimberly how he has more from the rally in florida. some

started lining up in the rain and heat more than a day to advance just to attend donald trump's official 2020 presidential campaign kickoff most were exactly what you'd expect to find a truck rally white older conservative voters but there were a lot of exceptions like jessica newberry i'm 100 percent strong supporter and yes i'm a lesbian and yes i have biracial kids. it's conducive to making money the people. i think is going to win the presidency get reelected for. support between democrats and republicans is almost an even split in florida the state will be critical if trump hopes to capture the white house again in 2020 i stand before you to officially launch my campaign for

a 2nd term as president and i guess. the campaign's efforts to register independent voters are more sophisticated than a 2016 trumps also counting on his advantage as the incumbent we've really done it and we've rebuilt our military are still in the process we take good care of our vets we've cut the hell out of regulations you know i've cut more regulations then any president in the history of our country regardless of the leg of their tour the whole show worrying signs like if the election were held today against former democratic vice president joe biden trump would lose and despite a strong economy trumps approval rating is at just 44 percent much of the country loathes his policies and continues to protest his rallies that is a la the fake news back there that's. trump is also under investigation by democrats energized by their takeover of the house of representatives last year

. still among trump's supporters none of that seems to matter donald trump is counting on supporters was. and next day is still more than 16 months away it's like donald trump is traveling to miami for our high dollar fundraiser the minimum price of admission 1st $100000.00 can really help its house this year others orlando a president trump is under pressure on several fronts including growing coals from within his own party for his impeachment i have decided to support impeachment investigation of the president i have not come to this easily i come to this decision after much deliberation and i know deeply what this means for our democracy i cannot with a clean conscience ignore my duty to defend the constitution i can't claim to be

committed to rooting out corruption and putting people over politics and then not applying those same principles and standards in all of the work i do of the un has demanded authority independent investigation into the death of egypt's only democratically elected president mohamed morsy security is high was high as he was buried in a cemetery in a car or rather in his hometown as his family had requested journalists were kept away from the burial service the day of the collapsed and died in court age 67 rights groups say morsy was tortured up to being held in prolonged solitary confinement and having restricted access to medicines. a mall is still gathered in more seats home province of shock here to pay their respects hundreds prayed and made tight security in a village morsi had been in jail since he was forced from power in a military coup in 2013 the un human rights office says any inquiry into his death should examine how he was treated while in prison the statement went on to say as

a former president mohamed morsy was in the custody of the egyptian authorities at the time of his death the state is responsible for ensuring he was treated humanely and that his right to life and health were respected any sudden death in custody must be followed by a prompt impartial thora and transparent investigation carried out by an independent body to clarify it the cause of death of thousands of people in the middle east have been remembering morsi with funeral prayers politicians in tunisia held a prayer for him despite concerns it could be seen as a political gesture elections are being held there later in the year hundreds of people also gathered to remember him in libya's.
