9:00 pm
of the political establishment were involved i was kind of i said that this killing is an international crime with universal jurisdiction are they precedents where you know universal jurisdiction has been applied to a case and could it work in the matter of jamal khashoggi. of course there is a system of sanctions against and the readers you know you have so you know you are from some countries you know even the history is full of where individual sanctions were imposed on freezing freezing assets freezing accounts of the individuals suspected of. crimes or indeed even other crimes that this crime is a crime against humanity or for immunity with north be a use door. but it is certain 100 percent or others come a lot higher behind diplomatic immunity that's why if there is
9:01 pm
a will by the international community the species of the of the european union as a broke and other countries of democracies this should really push for a thought up comprehensive in the deep end of the of the suggestion is that was the last and it's not out of our sorry to interrupt you if there were to be an international investigation into the matter of jamal how shoji there would have to be some sort of corporation compliance from the saudis would it would there not to be. well they would be given the chance in the if the refrain from copulation the vote will imply that they were involved or they have something to her if everybody knows that the saudis is them is not a lot of states you have one or 2 people who are arm of our country there is no way in the saudi system doubt if such a crime was committed where the private jets were provided the doctors were of of the military were provided top top officials were implicated no one
9:02 pm
could believe that but it is 170 to know about this so what do you see happening next now i mean clearly the saudis are going to deny or this are going to reject this report where else could the pressure come from now. no one would believe the saudis the saudis would lie it up 1st on the amount of 2nd part of the thought they said general was of the german left the building even the fake of someone who looked like him living in the building so no one will trust them and the other materials the party even if he were acting in good faith with the world not the saudis will not cooperate because it is not for it would any cooperation with an international of research it will show that the smoking gun of the back of the but you know the buck will stop with 100 percent of the crown prince himself so one should keep this is the eve of the international community including the
9:03 pm
president of the united states if you protect bullies and you protect criminals and they are a very very vile camillus valved means you are helping more crimes to happen in the future of this is against the law in the united states it's against international law so the president of the united states i think that he should seize protecting keyless because he has it could not be in the name of political theater so you have to accept whether you have values of the rule of law protection of human rights or you are to give me the following merely not our economy can tell us the united states has power to push for real and we stick it on sanctions against the perpetrators and those who order that and commissioned the killing of what about turkey's role. this crime happened on turkish soil turkey could have referred the case could have called for an international investigation by the united nations which they still have not officially done despite all the evidence they have had
9:04 pm
our we going to see that change now i think and why has taken not done this until now. i think turkey should do that now considering about an independent investigator has already indicated beyond reasonable doubt that for the crime you know there is a clear evidence that the saudis were involved of the highest level turkey with the with other group of states the turks who don't go it alone should not be other states to push for an international and the proper and dependent but which countries do you see leading this i mean a lot of these countries have a somewhat not mixed mixed relations with saudi arabia even though they perhaps behind the scenes might criticize and denounce saudi arabia over its human rights record says still dealing with saudi arabia when it comes to business so or which country do you see helping the tax you know from my experience in dealing
9:05 pm
with your from international law firm diplomatic issues i remember very well how european governments when they are facing a country like saudi arabia or libya during the duffey they don't like to act alone in case saudi arabia would single them out and it would harm that m.t.s. so they always go on block the go as a group of states in order not to to to do that and they would you say there are many parties that are on many ways but i think the europeans and the walker of the companies and government should really stop staying behind the fares and waiting for the model to disappear this level will not disappear and any help for the saudis in this matter will be preserved of course it used constitute the stigma of the former the front of the forehead of the democrat the democracies of especially

9:21 pm
up next here it's earth wise stu stay with this. sri lanka's easter sunday bombings reverberated around the world with religious and ethnic tension rising one a one east investigates it is the new front line in trying to. 0. the explosion of plastic waste across the world threatens the very survival of life on our planet. every year up to $12000000.00 metric tons of plastic and. from poisoning marine life to littering landscapes and cloaking waterways plastic
9:22 pm
waste in the environment is set to trickle in the next decades the problem is so vast it can seem overwhelming but spy reimagining this waste as a result we can begin to redress the balance i'm tony can you lay in cameroon where a young entrepreneur is turning the tide on plastic waste by building boats out of bottles and i'm back in the cabin in the u.k. where one company is tackling a really sticky caustic problem also making unique and sustainable products in the process. here in cameron's economic capital while the scale of the country's plastic problem is painfully clear plastic waste is caulking up the streets and rivers of cameroon's major cities polluting waterways threatening marine ecosystems and making life especially difficult for local fishermen. it's estimated that across
9:23 pm
the city of tijuana $1300.00 tons of plastic waste is generated every day. so much of it is thrown into the city's rivers you can see any trace of water. i. have never seen anything like this before. i don't even know how you begin to fix a problem this big is no doubt this is a major challenge for the city. but one local man has made it his mission to deal with it head on his name is mile is so many it's miles. i says it to me to most a region that is i mean it's quite a place to meet i must say so is this normal here. you know it's so sad when you have older brasseries that truly whereby people in the east we in the house and then you have the reverse the water the order where the
9:24 pm
club does bridge and you have your pool. in the river and you can see the last about the poor among educated on how to money deal with so opportunities numbers it's overwhelming to see this but you don't find it overwhelming why do you see this and think that this is something you want to take on for yourself i realize that all the reaver a full blast no one k. no one what is this and i was shocked to see that so i decided to do something and work. when shooting people. by showing the way. began an initiative to curate the waste from all of the one is 10 choked rivers. he calls his company my dubai and nature meaning water and nature in the local sour language. he recruits
9:25 pm
a team of 30 volunteers and today i'm giving them a helping hand. but it quickly becomes clear to me what a tough job this is. so we're standing on this board because much of this looks like a bit of plastic there's actually a river underneath it so it's not very stable. and. it's very hot and very humid here so when you have this amount of waste in the water of course it's holes into the toes of other kinds of water borne diseases and there are people who live all around here so this is not just an environmental crisis it's a possible health crisis as well kind of serious about. the work you're doing here is amazing that there are so many bottles and it feels like this is just a dent and it's really only individuals like you who are taking it on there is no citywide plan or nationwide plan to tackle this enormous problem no days nor is
9:26 pm
dire green's just been here in charlotte. or the problem for the priorities so. no one's care for the environment and this is the morse urgent problem so we need to train for this year in many ways. it doesn't just see all this plastic as waste he sees it as a valuable material and an opportunity to do good. he turns bottles into boats for the region's fishing community. and it all happens here inside his workshop. botolf. yes i want her prayers in my house here so i'm here with some of margaret and we probably wish more. ishmael's boats built using traditional techniques he taught you how to do. you know i'm from a fishing community and my dad and fisherman oh well so when i was young i was fishing with my dad this technology are just the plastic bottles so is that why
9:27 pm
this idea came to you yes because i'm afraid the river and you cannot gush because. it is full of glasses so. i do hard not only to clean. but also. because this is not easy in the video just for someone to buy. so now we. will board that could be us so we have part of our seed done what's next you are yeah i'd love to try to do that. so we tie this up and not tear. not so bad. it is a little scary to think that. what we're putting together someone's actually going to be sitting on out in the water so i feel a little bit of responsibility to not mess this up but i proud of my handy way back
9:28 pm
yeah all you got you it isn't so bad you know. once he's built the frame ties it to the base. and then he adds in the seats. it has built 37 boats to date given that it takes 650 bottles to build one that's over 24000 bottles removed from his rivers and put to good use. so how much does it cost to make a boat like this with materials oh never in u. . simply jugnu bordeaux's the rest as you have done. to both take just a few hours to build. and they're so in my 20 to be easily transported to the ocean. it's a 3 hour drive to nearby creepy. gives the boats to local fishermen.
9:29 pm
traditionally made fishing boats can be extremely expensive but even so when its mouth 1st started giving away his eco boats it was easier said than done these look very different to all of the local fishing boats that we see what was the reaction from the local community when you brought these here the 1st time 1st i thought they was a joke show they will never go in the world enough but when we went to the water bill university is walking and then they start to move to try to understand and try to stick to go fishing when there's one. the real proof of course is in the floating let's go test it out it's got this is ok you lead the way up. it was a bumpy entry but this feels so much better it feels stable i don't feel unsafe in
9:30 pm
any way i feel really comfortable fishing and want to be a. good old look. just. talk about. what a great idea and there's so many possibilities of what you can do in the future back in at the same time the enormous issue of plastic waste and cameras and what an incredible young man pads that was really fun. now we know the bow to see where the we're delivering it to the latest happy customer. i was going to test it out on a nearby lake. county was it. really this is the me the fisherman of good to meet you what do you think of your new boat that has been given to them and. how do you think having this new boat is going to change things for you. because
9:31 pm
they need to. be pretty soon here. with you all of us with. the saudi money put out of office so maybe the accessibility and affordability of eco boats will be something that convinces people to give them a try where it's safe to do. so but you will. be. forced to leave so winningly pools in new york. you want to try it out you know let's. see how it works. how do you feel about camille's reaction to his very own eco boat harbor to see that i can make someone's my so one gets home maybe he's going to show would be
9:32 pm
better maybe you equal harm or income to his family. since he started in 2016 the growing success of his eco boat has inspired a smile to do more. it's his ambition to clear up cameroon and that begins with the country's 1st bottle recycling scheme. how. this is the eco brain i cover it is made out of $255.00 classical. and 1000 bucks or so this. is a place where people can come and bring their plastic waste this is starving for and offered. to worry stories stories system of plastic wasting water so the idea of this eco been what you're trying to do here where do you think you can grow that we won our city be very example in that regard we just apply in
9:33 pm
areas of all the corner in front of all the show the supermarket the school so he won't be easy to carry the cup in with the side of all this so that's the vision we want to put there but how the which there is not easy. despite the challenges it has even bigger plans for the future by producing bottle made furniture and by educating the next generation. recognitions i really think. was the cause of the jungle. you got it your. it's a legacy to take care of environment secure our planet and to clean our cities. it's an inspiration to me that even in this global sea of plastic one person really can make a difference. for
9:34 pm
environmental campaigners the global issue of plastic waste is now so serious it has risen to the top of the agenda. they believe we must rethink our whole approach to the material the scale of the plastic problem is huge when it's over $300000000.00 tonnes a year plastic packaging itself is $78000000.00 tonnes a year 32 percent of that leaks out and environment some of the biggest producers of plastic packaging in the world produce $3000000.00 tonnes a year so with that one producer changes the way they make plastic that is a massive change globally the. even the biggest producer of plastic packaging in the world can't fix this on their own this is about everyone competitors alike organizing around a system that can be regenerative and restored. 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
9:35 pm
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
9:36 pm
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 and 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. be hiding in plain sight. every year week you always get your 374 trillion pieces of. what you might not know is that chewing gum is essential to be chewing this piece of plastic. bottles chewing gums and bubble comes from oil. in fact gum is
9:37 pm
a very similar material to latex bicycle in achieves. and every year we trucked away $100000.00 tons of it globally much of it straight on to the federal. government is 2nd only to cigarettes as the world's most listed items. 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 off to a small army of workers to clear it up when. i'm 70 miles southwest of london in winchester to find out what damage can do. and how you can slow john warneke is in charge of keeping the city streets clean. how much of
9:38 pm
a problem is common when just they estimate that every year councils in britain or spending more than 60000000 pounds a year just clearing up the will to say take me back over actually that's a huge figure and a war that could be put to rather 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. thanks very much council operations manager darren notice of. show me the right. back yeah i'm going to wrangle me right i see the right that way yeah you do what you want to yeah yeah it's very much like you're. coming out to. be quite satisfying job to be honest but. children such tough loss of respect
9:39 pm
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 biodegradable and 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 isn't it yeah. and soon the state doesn't want it so when they 1st came out and what were your cool i thought it was a bit of a joke to be honest i just couldn't believe that this could be made out of people's material just makes you think oh that's so on but you know it's disgusting but that when you realise that's been true of heating prices it's completely down
9:40 pm
a tree it's just really inspiring what can be done with chewing. the cups and made from a gum based material could. hit out when just to university the room a terry was for the cops a collective will of the campus and distinctive bright pink bins. that cooled gum drops and inspiring idea from designer and the less. high you must be on a highness me high a nice sweet tea so these must be your pens tell me a bit about them yet these are the gumdrop bins that they all been specifically for the display. and the idea is that somebody can come along they use chewing gum and then once it's full whole thing comes back to us and we recycle it and we can actually recycle 3 new gum drops out of one. it's based on a closed loop recycling process ok so why go all the solutions out there at the moment all address communists once it's already been dropped there is nothing out
9:41 pm
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. and 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 actually size for jesus it can actually see the gumdrop when it's been crushed up you see all the of the letters that are in there along with chewed chewing gum chewing gum cupcakes. and then goes through the 2nd stage which separates the gum drop in the chewed gum and the other way. we then take this thing yeah we've and mix it with recycled materials which get heated in compound and. these pellets which go on
9:42 pm
forever she may bend when you come to bed early i will start again. become tech material can be molded into a whole range of products. not just cups that station key rings. and she's. proud to call them into some of the products that we have at the moment ok. to the fast this is actually really from project we had done in collaboration with accounts. in amsterdam i want to highlight the amount of the minister of such on the streets and abstract so you'll see the so here is actually a map of the spring that we looked at. the gumdrop story continues to grow. there now some 650 come drop locations across the u.k.
9:43 pm

arrived at the consulate was known by others turkish intelligence is the source of this information. the special rapporteur was played some of the tapes that they have 45 minutes of believed to be about 7 hours of recordings and that's what she's base this on of course that evidence has already been transferred from turkish intelligence to many of the other intelligence agencies around the world they passed up information we believe to the saudis they've passed a great deal of information to the u.s. which makes it interesting some of the comments you've heard from foreign government officials about this when they've known some of the detail we're learning for the 1st time all along how much pressure well this put on the united nations now james for an international investigation. a great deal of pressure on the u.n. secretary general let's just remind you of his position of all inquiries like this
9:56 pm

president trump defied a formal letter from the senate months ago asking for him to establish exact accountability in the murder of jamal khashoggi he then vetoed resolutions coming out of congress for putting arms sales to saudi arabia he then declared an emergency declaration attempting to circumvent congress and push through an 8000000000 arms sale to saudi arabia now congress absolutely incensed by all these moves from the trumpet ministration they are insistent that they will pass resolutions once again resolutions that president trump may veto in the days ahead however they are looking to get that 2 thirds majority within the house and senate which would make such resolutions veto proof but the whole issue a complete divide between the trumpet ministration and congress based as i said on congress's fury at the white house's apparent inability to ascertain blame and responsibility for the murder of jamal khashoggi along with saudi arabia's
