a whole but or to manage the situation and keep strictly however, we have been seeing it from time to find some outburst like what happened yesterday. betty? definitely fine. as you mentioned, something about certainty injured. similarly, that was last year versus last in a now was also or so about by people where another doesn't injured. the problem has been that the justice system has not been moving effectively to address and to prosecute me whether or not during that period or president. she had to say,

man, a plan. you have to go on the same for about a dozen before or so. and enjoy it. you know, well well, why not sure? it was just why is that? you think when you look at this, the baby report incident has one lot in mind. it seems trying to control or slow down the investigation into the baby with 40 explosion. but the overwhelming majority of the lebanese people want to continue. so why is it not? i mean, where does the balance of power lie right now really, our justice just being a jumble is not an effective justice system. and that's why we see many instances of violence or non violence are not brought to a happy end date or to read. a prosecution of the constant was regarding

getting crimes or financial crimes or the kinds of feelings of money deposited in banks, which the bank people off of the series of problems have not been adjusted with in an effective way by the justice system. and this i could do ation and allows and include more violence or more infractions to other countries and just live in just experience just based on a tricky balance between the major political and 6 area actors. and that's what is keeping the justice and the judges as a right. yeah. they are as event to really prosecute to the end

crime window behind which then some major political, national yeah. as you say, i mean, this is done here. and history has shown that those who have the victorian disputes have always been very difficult to mediate and solve the lebanon, very elections coming up next spring. how do you think this investigation? if it goes ahead, we'll play into that. when investigation goes ahead and finally reaches the concrete to have committed to crying yesterday by shooting the city. definitely it will affect those who have been who is being shown to be a to be behind that killing action. and i cannot speculate,

and i don't want to stick with a lot of speculation in the course. just bring to people to jump and prosecute things to prove that part of the party was behind the kelly of yesterday's crime. step in and that will affect the election which are supposed to face it. may that are some part did some groups in that i'm seeking to move the election days from my to february and no, i get no agreement on this by the manger because actors in the cabinets get 9000. thank you very much for talking to us about this. thank you for your time.

time in recent memory, the state of michigan is taking years to clean up lead, tainted drinking water in a majority. black city, when a visitor complained about the water. reverend edward pinkney had it tested and found high levels of lead. he says there's a reason it's taking so long to remove it. environmental recess just so what if, if, if o a white woman would count was, oh, will you see see or on a camel with a little baby. she's crying and telling me that the little destroying her baby, there was a was sent out. the army of fema will be here. all the pentagon would be everybody would be here. and they are resolved as being in less than 6 months. but by a been a black city is a whole different story. 2 years after the majority, black town of flint resolved a 5 year long crisis with lead in its water bent in harbours. water is even more toxic. my water sounds bad. does it make you mad? yes, they does not. take a bath, then a brush. our teeth and not it is,

but with us always in the most tainted samples from homes here contained $889.00 parts of lead per $1000000059.00 times the states, 15 parts per 1000000000 limit on thursday with residents lining up for bottled water, 3 years after the city discovered its taps were tainted, the state announced it would replace all of the cities underground, lead pipes within 18 months. this directive ensures that state government has taken a truly all hands on deck approach. the mayor is careful not to criticize the state leaders who have committed to replace the city's lead pipes. but he too raises the spectre of racial discrimination. the entire system quite honestly. ah, sits since his inception from the federal and state level has not been kind and friendly to black people. i think that there's been some headway. ah,

but quite honestly, there's a long way to go. because of the racial, not just insensitivity, but in justice. the average income here is about $32000.00 a year just above the poverty line for a family of 4. here at lake michigan, the water is lead free. it picks up the lead as it course is through the cities aging pipe. so there's water everywhere. it's just not safe to drink. so far, the city has promises of $18000000.00 of the $28000000.00 it will take to replace all of its lead supply pipes. it will have to find the remaining $10000000.00 somewhere to finish the project on time. in 2023, john 100 al jazeera benton harbor, michigan. when i speak to elan worn, ben cancel about this. she's joining us from detroit and his a founder and owner of safe water engineering, a consulting firm. very good to have you with us. this of course has echoes of the

kind water crisis a few years ago. what wise want a contamination such a big, big problem in michigan? but we have a lot of leg service lines in michigan, and we're one of the largest states with lead service lines in the united states. we estimate there about $500000.00 lead service lines here. and in baton harbor, we don't have a great inventory, but we think that most of the homes there do have led service lines that deliver water from the water main to their home. but the drinking water has contained high levels of lead for at least 3 years. now, residents have said they've been sounding alarms over the contamination since 2018 . why, why hasn't anything been done about it? yes, so the state has focused on working with corrosion control, treatment at the water treatment plan, and they've been changing some doses and trying to see if that will bring down the low levels. this is, this is an example of what a lead pipe looks like. it's

a solid lead piece of metal that carries water into a home. and when water is in contact with lead, that lead will dissolve into the waters. corrosion control can help bring it down, but it is not perfect. so the work that they've been doing, they skipped doing a study to see what would be most effective. they just started dosing it for the lab is still here and in contact with the water. so the best way to stop lead from getting into the water is to remove these pipes. what impact has this hot on, on people's health? well, so 3 years, we suspect probably more than 3 years of latin, the water that's drinking lead in your water. every single day that's over a 1000 days of exposure to lead and water led us opponent irreversible neural toxin is the most dangerous to infants and young children with their neurologic development. and it also has many health impacts for adults with kidney disease and

i pay attention as well. tell us more about what should be done to solve this crisis in michigan. as you say, it's a, it's a problem in this fate was seen in flint. and now, in bent in hobbit, what should the authorities, a government, local governments that be, be doing well, the most effective thing to do is to get the lead types out a luckily and been her that called her a lot of money. i imagine it does, but the, the cost of lead exposure of $2.00 generations of children and adults is even more expensive than the cost of removing those lead pipes. ok, thank you so much. and in for talking to us about this, ellen worn benton, so joining us there from detroit, thank you for your time. thank you. and people in the capital of canada's arctic territory have been told not to drink the city's water because it may be contaminated with petrol. a state of emergency has been declared in e conduit,
