no value every day. this truck is food to overflowing with this roughly 6000000 garments every weight that life can to mankind market is waste . and a huge proportion of all of that clothing is trucks, 2 hours north of a crop and ends up being dumped his landfill. ah, the pressure from the used closing industry is relentless. the city of a cra now has to find some way to dispose of more than 160 tons of textile waste.

every single day. with black christiane miko is a ring. tyler, who sells her stock outside the city and i wanted it to help me. i mean, if i, if i fill a with, with high and a long time and a half with him to mouth

had she goes from village to village, selling her clothes. and 2 dollar dresses a, something of a luxury auto better than i thought that was a christy on his arrival is a holiday week. i do, i have to work fine and i can log on and i am on the path at bob. it's saying sold to me. will you be? we, nanny, i'm money you. now will you be to is it is out in return for c g i but it's a precarious enterprise because many of her customers insist on being granted credit. oh mary went this afternoon. why did me, i'm and are you new going all debbie made me breath. i live now. yeah,

this is that me all these i may by no b i s i will get out and, and i'm up on the, i'm on i'm, i'm back. i'm in president for winnable, we're christiana, works hard to care for her family, but it's becoming harder because the biles of clothing being imported into gonna arriving in worse and worse condition. okay, beautiful. not a net or by g o fine, i would say a more like ah, it's monsoon season in ghana. and when these fees rains come,

the unwanted closing washes into the cities open suicide and chokes it's more to life. you know? yeah. and the tropics. so we have very high precipitation that form of rapes. well, so and no heavy downfall of reed will get there. are these on colette dead with into the stop and res, which are not covered in a week, and then it gets into the ocean. it means all these layers of texts are without bath sock piling a day, or she embed and that's is working with the aquatic life in bit like that internet bang. so and we've done cleanup here. you can big like 15 feet and still find angles. and these rickets has spent the past decade documenting the impact of clothing waste on john up. that also becomes really dangerous for people

when they're swimming because they're like going back and forth. and then i'll hit them and then on the fishermen and wraps around their motors. the takes dolls which washed back on shore, become so tangled in the sand. they're almost impossible to dig out the tangled mass flow, then we call them tentacles. this is all tangled that very little the hired for years, eva, when they 1st one watching out there very long. you know, they can be 8 needs 30 deeds and sometimes 3 feet wide. these tentacles have their origins. at kat demantzy market. ah

a manual. yeah. hello. hey, wow, nice to me. i thank you. my you, a job is another you will find that we i went to think there's been this work. yeah. we want to see what it is to live. is some dick it yeah. and weren't whooping was shot down into groups. okay. until they open the bales. importers have no idea whether they can obtain trash or treasure light blue. so this one is going like the top quality. okay, here we go. well, this one is that going to be robert's? yeah, this is the rubbish. and this one to we'll call it a 2nd one second. okay. okay. this we come with. yeah,

this one is going to look. it's what it's sort of staying here. no go. it's not good, it's emanuel and his colleagues to spear at the growing number of low quality clothes arriving at ghana or you think of this one? see how it is dated from here or is it sweat to should not put it in the bit because lucky short this is what it is it in europe or yuki and to a sri, america and it think africa here we are. we are known. let women being sold to say that use this because what they are given to us is a lot, even if someone didn't lock your door and you want it, you can not just given, picking something from your desk, been and give to the person. so in this case it's like they are doing this to us by

all cost emmanuel $92.00 per hour to this wild cider was you can sell. okay. after sourcing the whole bio, you can see he's going to make a significant loss today. 4567, a bit. and how many altogether and about this one was 180 to 200 pieces in the bill. and you funds have if you read about it. so at the end of today, where would you put that? where would throw them low it? now the problem is there is no room anywhere in our crop left to throw this massive carefully engineered landfill was meant to be the solution to accurate waste crisis . should have provided enough capacity for 15 years. but once it started accepting

quality thing, waste from can't demand time market was filled to overflowing within just 5. now the city's only alternative is a growing network of informal unregulated dumps. along the way is brought here by informal collectors who pick it up at the end of the day. like this one on the age of old fatima the cities biggest to slum it doesn't what is anything wrong with them at all? synthetic textiles can take hundreds of years to decompose this mountain of waste. my cast, it's faded shadow over these neighborhoods for generations to come. i

think unfortunately, what happened is that the waste, they are blamed for the waste. the people of old pharma are not responsible for this problem, but they are forced to live with it. then this waste and oven places like this where it's used to further disenfranchised people were already living in poverty. to blame none for late that they did not b, won't all consumers be some responsibility for this waste crosses? lose ricketts lies much of the blame at the door of the world's big fashion houses . really it's brands, it's brands that are over producing waste is a part of the business model, a fashion, a lot of brands that are produced by up to 40 percent. so when did they start

building this? at least 3 weeks ago. much of the unwanted clothing is simply burned. ah, it's not unusual across the sky to blacken with smoke for dies at aton ah ah. but for many who live in old fatima, including ayesha, dra soup the flow 2nd hand clothing into donna has been a lifeline. emma

d at that fashion than being at that that with there are other problems which is simply more pressing why she lives in this small windowless room with 4 other women and all the world we belong to a. ready landing yet and it's ok. so perhaps it's for the waste in steed to think more carefully about the quality of what we darn eyes. i'm not sure i'd never been conscious to ox. where is the final destination of india discarding by the come here like you've come and see the practicality for years that then there was no doubt no better take care of this din

within our country and not to ship the problem to adopted with after decades of conflict between successive colombian, governments, and the fox marxist gorillas and historic peace accord in 2016. so a fight has laid down their arm. 5 years on a mit rising defense and fruitful police repression. a new play. the violin has robbed the nation. people and power off if the agreement is failing and what's next for the country. columbia, killing the piece on al jazeera. ah,

and frank assessments. what's the point of the un if multilateralism isn't part of its dna? we need somewhere. we're sovereign states can exchange informed opinions is focus likely to change by doing behavioral. it's not going to change their behavior. they're going to continue to do what they do and it's gonna be more in trade and less in terms of trying to match with the small games mentality. in depth analysis of the days global headlines inside story on al jazeera from the for velez of correct us. so the battle fields around most of our job is to get to the truth and empower people through knowledge. oh, for the congolese, but journey to work or the means unimaginable hardship. i prefer to lie dog,

interesting to white glove, the captain tooth chancing life and live on a dangerous journey through the jungle. when i fell on to the rails, i nearly died. of our children teeth go to school and live because of the prank. risking at all the democratic republic of congo on al jazeera. ah, facebook reels from a global outage is hip millions of users across is platforms, including instagram and whatsapp. and that's not the only crisis facing the company . an employee turned whistleblower is accusing it of prioritizing profit of clamping down on hight speech and misinformation. facebook has realized that if they changed the algorithm to be saver.
