out in the lavonne. ah, quite, i have a quick look at the headline 0 now to 0 ethiopians government has declared a nation wide state of emergency as to brian rebels and bonds. further south u. s. is demanding an end to the conflict and has suspended the government from a key trade program he invoice for the horn of africa is calling for a strange little side. we have consistently condemned the keep your lips expansion of the war outside to grow. and we continue to call him the t purelife to withdraw from afar, and am hora. that expansion of the war, however, is as predictable as it is unacceptable. given that the ethiopian government began cutting off humanitarian relief and commercial access to t great. ready in june, which continues to this day despite horrifying conditions of reporting widespread

famine in near famine conditions that have shocked the world. i so says it was behind the killing of 900 people in an attack on cobbles, largest military hospital, a suicide bomber detonated as explosives for gunman broke into the compound. among those killed was the commander of the taliban special forces. it was also in charge of cobbled security more than a 100 nations, have pledged to reverse deforestation within the next decade at the you in time at summit in glasgow, they also agreed to cut levels of methane emissions by 30 percent, but big emitters, including china, russia india hadn't signed up to the deal yet. yes, president joe biden says a program to vaccinate children will be fully up and running next week. he says enough doses are ready for 28000000 youngsters all as a final approval for phases vaccine for 5 to 11 euros. a smaller dose was recommended voters in minneapolis or projected scrapping the city's police department. they were asked if it should be replaced by new department of public safety. it comes more than a year after a police officer killed at george floyd,

launching a movement to defund or abolish police across the u. s. elsewhere in the u. s. vote so being counted in virginia and new jersey to choose the next governor. it's seen as a crucial test for president, jo. bite me ahead of mid term elections next year in nigeria for members of staff and that children have been kidnapped from the university of buddha, abductions from schools for the north and happen frequently, but kidnapping, in the capital. a rare and sedans main opposition leader says the deposed prime minister could return to form a new government. many men are we as have meetings to the land of remains under house arrest. tens of thousands of people have been demonstrating against the military's takeover. so those that headlines, the news continues he, on al jazeera, after thrice station, thanks for watching bye. for now. ah, people are much more goes to the, the communities they live in. no matter how much it needs to present titian as much

as anyone else's. going to like the main sort of the most hideous the police that's part of the night at delta. and now it's people say they want a clean up all their destroyed embodiment. but with the media lance, the coverage covers you just when you suffer calamities. i don't think that's right above is what i would have to change. i wanted to go further to cover story stuff, impact the lives of people to truthfully tell the students. but i was really passionate about stories with fucks, but governments would rather keep him in story stuff, drop the fixed narrative, and only depend on the reality on the ground. but is why i became a journalist. um huh, that book with ah,

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 to the ocean. from poisoning marine life to lecturing landscapes and cloaking waterways. plastic waste in the environment is set to triple in the next decade. the problem is so vast, it can seem overwhelming fits by re imagining this waste. as a result, we can begin to redress the balance. i'm donnie cannula. in cameroon, where a young entrepreneurs turning the tide on plastic waste by building both bottles and megan the carbon in the u. k. where one company is tackling a key,

plastic problem boss making unique, unsustainable products in the process. ah, here in cameroon, economic capital to wiler, the scale of the countries plastic problem is painfully clear. plastic waste is clogging up the street and rivers of cameron's major cities polluting waterways threatening marine ecosystems and making life especially difficult a local fisherman. mm. it's estimated that across the city of to wanna $1300.00 tons of plastic waste is generated every day. so much of it is thrown into the cities rivers. you can't see any trace of water. ah, i've never seen anything like this before. i don't even know how you begin to fix the problem. this big is no doubt. this is a major challenge of

a city. but one local man has made it. his mission to deal with it had on his name is ish mile is. so it's while i have to meet, you know, to resume that. i mean it's quite a place to meet, i must say. so is this normal here in dweller? no. you know, so sat, what is that? you have ordered black that's i've troy away by be boy in this we in the household . and then you have the river, the water that call it all the ways that clubs is bridge and then you have people solving with your car until they our trash the river. and you can see that placid, back before a mac edukit, how many dell with so unfortunately, is normally it's overwhelming to see this that 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 will as that all the river a full of plastic,

no one k. no one's they what is this and our shoke to see that? so i decided to do something. and what i've been that i go to boys shooting people myself by showing the way through them. ishmael began in initiative to clear up the waste from all to well as 10 choked rivers. he calls his company dba and nature, meaning water in nature, in the local sour language. he recruits 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 to, since we're standing on this board because much of this looks like a bed of plastic. there's actually a river underneath it. so it's not very stable. it's very hot and very humid here. so when you have this amount of weight in water, of course,

it's called mosquito than other kinds of water born 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 with the work you're doing here is amazing, but there are so many bottles and it feels like this is just a den. and it's really only individuals like you who are taking it on there is no city wide plan or nationwide plan to tackle this enormous problem. no, there's no usa green burn here in charlotte obligations her or the problem for the priority. so people are, we're no ones care about enrollment here. this is the most urgent problem. so we need to check with, with ishmael doesn't just see all this plastic as waste. he sees it as a valuable material and an opportunity to do good. mm hm. he turns bottles into

both for the regions, fishing community and it all happens here inside his workshop. ah, bottle yard refer. this is our workshop is see in my house here. so i'm here with some of the 2 and we tried to finish a lot. ishmael is both built using traditional techniques. who taught you how to do it? oh no, i'm for move fishing community and my daughter fisherman. oh wow. so when i was young, i was fishing with my dad. this technology i just adapted to the black board or so is that why this idea came to you? yes. because the portion of the river and now you cannot catch fish because the fishing area is full of plastics. so i've got too hot. not only the cleaning do rivers, but also to provide support because it is not easy in the villages for some one to

buy symbol boy. so now we build cheaper eco boys that could be useful. so we have part of our seat done what's next to you on breakfast? yeah, i'd love to try to do that. so we tie this. yeah. not. not so bad at ya. 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. i proud of my handy work out here. oh, you did. it isn't so bad, it's once he's built, the frame is small ties to the base. and then he adds in the scene is smell has built 37 boats to date. given that it takes 650 bottles to build one that's over 24000 bottles,

removed from to wireless rivers and put to good use. so how much does the cost to make about like this with material oil? remembering simple, you just know borrows the rest is yep, that ah, the booth take just a few hours to build and they're so lightweight, they're easily transported to the ocean. it's a 3 hour drive to nearby. creepy way ish mount is the boats to local fishing. traditionally made fishing boats can be extremely expensive, but even so, when is my 1st started giving away his e commerce, it was easier said than done. these look very different to all of the local fishing both that we see what was the reaction from the local community when you brought these here the 1st time for that thought they wasn't sure it will never go in the water enough that when we went to the water before you,

if it is walking and then they start new to try to understand and try to see if you go fishing with these one. the real proof of course, is in the floating. they've got tested out as good as it. ok. you lead the way through it was a bumpy entry, but that feel so much better it feel say, well, i don't feel safe in any way. i feel really comfortable fishing and want to be what a great idea. and there's so many possibilities of what he can do in the future that can at the same time be enormous issue,

a plastic waste in cameroon. what an incredible young man that, that was really fine. now we know the boat to see where the we're delivering it to the latest happy customer was going to test it out on a nearby lake. ah, i wasn't really busy. gimme the fisherman. good to meet you. what do you think of your new boat and the cabin with how do you think having this new boat is going to change things for you? for one more month or said you said you the airport? what if it, if you could, but would feel group us with alopecia who argument grandpa or facility? so maybe their accessibility and affordability of eco, both will be something that convinces people to give them a try. where did you month visit? they ship their mom so, but some roger will probably be shaky not, but in mind that will bocurel was fully leading,

swimming. wonderful. also for you to learn your orders under for me. do you want to try it out? you know, let's see how it works with how do you feel about camille reaction to his very own? he commodes a hobby to see that i can make the ones my so one get hope that maybe his condition would be better. maybe he can have more in come to his family since he started in 2016, the growing success of his ico both hasn't spied ishmael to do more. it's his ambition to clear up cameroon. and that begins with the country's 1st battle recycling scheme. ah,

this is the echo been i covering his mid powder door 155 plastic or an equivalent 1000 bucks to produce. so this is a place where people can come and bring their past equates. this is their starting wine offers. so i did you do really as dollars thought in system of plastic waves in grammar? so the idea of this eco been what you're trying to do here, where do you think you can grow to? we wonder why city to be let go of it. example in that regard we im just apply recording in areas of draw out of all the corner in font of all the show is supermarket this cool. so it would be easy to come and pick up the wave, recycle it. so that is the vision where we wanted were there, but how the which there is not is despite the challenges. ishmael has even bigger plans for the future by producing battle, made furniture and by educating the next generation figure you show very liberal

den rubicon club. what is your was that goes with it to junk on. got to be left on who should you go there to john? is alyssa to take care of environment sticky of our planet ender to clean our cities? it's an inspiration to me that even in this global see of plastic one person really can make a difference, a for environmental campaign is 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. minutes over 300000000 times a year. plastic packaging itself is 78000000 tons year. 32 percent of that leaks out ins, environment. some of the biggest producers of plastic packaging in the world

produce $3000000.00 tons a year. so with that one producer changes the way they make plastic. that is a massive change globally. even the biggest producer plastic packaging in the world can't fix this on their own. this is about every one competitors alike. organizing around a system that can be regenerated from restorative. if you look at our current economy, it's predominantly linear. we take a material out the ground, we make something out of it and then the majority of that material gets thrown away . we have a growing world population. we have more and more pressure on resources. the system we have to day cannot run in the long term. we need to shift that economy to be one that uses materials, rather than using them up with an, a circular economy right from the beginning. you build the economy, so you design outweigh some pollution. you keep products cycling within that economy for as low as possible, and then you look at regenerating natural systems through the biological materials to feed into the economy. so effectively, the straight line turns into a circle to build out circular economy for plastic,

she 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 unlocked trillions of us dollars recommend opportunity. and it will effectively decouple economic growth from a source constraints are mm . fast pollution is the hot topic in the world, environmental issues, the damage that it causes is long lasting and wide ranging. but was there is

a growing consciousness of the problems that passed it 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 we chew our way through 374 trillion pieces of gun. what you might not know is that chewing gum is essentially like doing this piece of plastic, but was chewing gums, and bubble gums are older my from oil. in fact, gum is a very similar material to latex bicycle in a cheap. and every year we chuck away $100000.00 tons that globally much of it, straight on to the floor with gum is 2nd only to cigarettes of the world's most listed items across the globe. we spent $25000000000.00 on gum every year. and demand is predicted to rise to $48000000000.00 in 2025. it is

estimated that 92 percent of pavement in london have chewing gum stock on them. with $300000.00 pieces estimated to be on august history and now it's up to a small army of workers to clear it up. i'm 70 miles southwest of london in winchester to find out what damage gum can do. ha o councilor, john war is in charge of keeping the city streets clean. how much of a problem is gum in winchester? they estimate the every year councils in britain spending more than $60000000.00 pounds a year. just clearing up gum, that's insane. it's taken me back a little bit, actually that's a huge figure and, and what could use that could be put to rather than just being spent collecting waste offer. mm hm. of course is really only one way to get

a tree flavor of the gum problem on our streets. i count so operations manager darren lewis is off shameed the right. i'm a bit further back. yeah. i got a bit wrangler. right. i see that what i that way. yeah. movie like more like it. yeah. yeah. this is very much like a very huh. is it coming out with be quite satisfying jobs. fearless, tougher must have respect for the guys doing that. so with the privacy with once gum is removed, it usually ends up in a landfill. as a plastic gum isn't biodegradable and will never decompose. but i've heard about an ingenious new initiative is not only keeping the sticky stuff off the pavements,

but turning it into something useful and coffee cups. i think the most impressive thing about them, they're actually made out the recycle during gown river. i knew you could recycle that one bacteria. it's quite impressive, isn't it? yeah. and the series favor? oh wow. okay. so when they 1st came out then what were you born? i thought it would be great if it chokes me on it. i just couldn't believe that this could be made of people's material just makes a big oh, but so on june, it's disgusting. that when you realize that it's been for a beating process, completely sanitary is just really inspiring. what can be done with chewing gum? the cuts are made from a gum based material. could gum tech here at winchester university. the raw materials for the cops are collected all the campus and distinctive bright pink bins. they're called gum shops and inspiring i dev, designer, annapolis. hi. you must be honest. hi,

nice to me. i nice me too. so these must be your bins. tell me a bit about them yet. these are the gum drop bins. and that they all been specifically for the despite of waste chain come me i do is, is that somebody can come along pop their use chewing gum in there. once it's full, the whole thing comes back to us and we recycle it. and we can actually recycle 3 new gum drops out of one full gum troy based on a closed loop recycling process. okay, so why gum all the solutions out there at the moment? all address gum later, once it's already been dropped, there is nothing out there that was actually addressing it from the front end. so i saw a gap in the market for a product like this and also a way of tackling behavioral change when it comes to gum letter and giving people as a positive way to dispose of bear chewing gum. so how does gum end up in a coffee cup? in anna has offered to show me the price is in action at the gum dropped factory in worcester. so once we get the full gum dropped,

been back that goes through the 1st part of the process, which actually size reduces it. okay, you can actually see the gum truck brand has been crushed up. yeah. and the all the other letters that are in there, along with that today, chewing gum, chewing gum, without a cupcake wrapper. hague, orange, dill. it then goes through the 2nd phase which separates the gum drop in the chewed gum and the other ways. we then take this next. yeah, we then mix it with other recycled materials, which yet he said and compounded juice. these palate which go on to rush, you make it better than you gum. drop in a lycos that again. the gum tech material can be moulded into a whole range of products, not just cups, but stationary key rings, boots and shoes. cow, nicole, this is some of our products that we have at the moment. okay. o introduced to the

the gum shoe 1st. this is actually really fun project we had was done in collaboration with accounts announced i wanted to highlight the amount of gum letter of sasha on the streets in amsterdam sales. see the sol here is actually a map of the style that we looked at. am the gum drug story continues to great. there are now some 650 come drop locations across the u. k, from train stations and city centers to echo, i'm schools. i'm with new interest in europe and the usa. anna has global ambitions for the company, and it's ethos. oh, blacking will publicly. there's definitely something that we want to do because that will say board and the, the awareness and the message around behavior change. and what we can actually do with, with the recycle, change them. we're at the university of winchester where the gum dropped. charles

began, they employed a scheme to design, 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 in attitude to waste and litter environment officer lis harris was behind introducing gum drug to the campus with how much of an effect have these cops had all the sale of plastic and general kind of coffee cookies. today we have saved 85000 disposable cups and being used there are now 10000 b cups and circulation. and we have just committed to eliminating single use plastics by 2022. so the cops are really good stuff in the right direction. i think it has really capture people's imaginations because what was quite nice that we could link it to the chewing gum reflect playing when why haven't your coffee or

how things close to these gum drop bins have started a chewing gum recycling craze, but it's much more than that, it's about changing people's behavior. and people like honor or inspiring people to think about the way that use single use products are, which is so critical if we're going to be able to reverse any of the current worrying environmental trends, boom. entrepreneurs across the globe, a turning their attention to the plastic menace. in september, 201824 year old dutch inventor boy and slat, launched an ambitious operation to use a giant boom on the ocean's natural currents to clean up the pacific giant island to plastic waste, known as the great pacific garbage patched. 2 months later, a crack in the system forced the prototype back to port,

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 re launch. what can we do with all the waste plastic we collect? in the u. k. one inventor has found a clever way to plug potholes with a new road material mate and parts from waste, plastic. and in the philippines, a 15 year old school boy undertook to tackle the country's plastic bag problem. with a bi degradable variety made from coconuts with clever ideas like these, we may just be able to stand the plastic type after years of over grazing the damage caused to the precious gross lance of chilling is being reversed with one of the world's biggest ever conservation

projects they're pretty emblematic of the pedagogy and if they're plentiful and they're calm like this one is then you know that the system is coming back and that they feel no threat. and that's why you know, i, for re wilding patagonia on al jazeera. you know, you can watch out to see were english streaming live on like youtube channel plus thousands of all programs, winning documentaries, and in depth news reports. subscribe to you choose dot com. forward slash al jazeera english. i. as australia burned, a photo journalist ran towards the flames to document the destruction. what does comic charged look? walk with gold that we parted
