12:24 am
which when raging since thursday. a searing heat wave is complicating efforts to extinguish the flames. 11 people have been detained in connection with the fires. president gabriel bridge has decayed emergencies in the worst regions. and international assistance has started arriving. our latin america editor understand humanism is in santa horner, where many people have died. there are fires all around that are still out of control both here and the bill beale region and to the north in, in the new blue areas as well as further south. but these are the 2 worst hit areas . we've been speaking to people throughout the day who have lost their homes and who were able to flee just barely with their lives. they say that by the time they got the warning, they had less than 5 minutes to just grab a bag or anything they could and get out. many people did die. you were mentioning $26.00 people, but the, the death toll is expected to be much, much higher. there are many, many more people that live in areas where there are no roads,
12:25 am
no easy roads with on which to escape. so these people have been missing so far, authorities and firefighters have not been able to reach these areas. and it's presume that at least some of them actually, we're not able to get out with their lives. we also hearing that there are some loot, there's looting going on around here. so some people are staying intense or, or blankets on their property, trying to at least preserve the tins that were on the roofs if nothing else which they believe they might be able to recycle. vote being counted in ecuador is constitutional referendum and local elections. the referendum was proposed by president greer maluso to help counter a crime wave corruption and environmental concerns. former president rafael korea, who is in exile, is shaping up to be the likely winner. candidates from his party won the races in quito and grey keel. the 2 most important and popular cities, the opposition urged voters to reject the proposals escalade on 200 run beauty in
12:26 am
the capital quito. so what will happen if, if this does go against the, the president gloria and the president, yet more last so truly a back on the local elections and especially on the constitutional referendum that he propose that way to try and turn around this political fortunes. instead. what we're seeing, and if in be these projects things are confirmed, which is looking as if it will be the case. it seems like a majority of what they are in society to turn the back on him. even questions, even proposals that were supposed to be a shoe in like for example, allowing for the extra addition of equip dorian criminals that seem to have a great majority of people proving among ecuadorian. instead a majority decided to vote against it. if indeed this will be confirmed to show
12:27 am
that the people here decided to consider this vote truly a referendum on the president and on his administration. and what this means is that probably he will be left with very little space to maneuver. actually we know that as we speak, he is in a meeting with is cabinets. we heard the rumors of possible resignation or re shuffle death campaign. it's about, we're hearing also a rumors that this might mean that they will, it could be difficult, difficult for him to remain in office for the 2 years left in his administration. remember that he already barely survived and impeachment both back in june, following the very, very violent protests that rock the country. for weeks, those protests were about the cost of living and also had to do with the increase
12:28 am
in crime, especially along the coast. the feeling here among both the quotes audience is that the last so hasn't been able to do practically anything since he got in to office. he hasn't been able to deal with the many crisis that he had to face. and he also hasn't been able to move forward with the reforms that he had promised when he came into office business friendly reforms that he had promised would have improved the economy of the country. so people, it seems like have decided that indeed to punish him and we're going to have to see what he's going to say when actually he will come out to, to comment on what has happened. the government essentially so far only publish the a press release that saying that they want to wait until all the votes are counted before and they will, they will comments on days, but definitely a major loss if in this this is confirm for you yet i'm allowed still, and

institutionalized sexism showing an ego has more they are the 1st port of call for law enforcement and prevention of crime in the you case capitol with risk responsibilities and challenges. yet a crisis of confidence has overshadowed london's metropolitan police. some $800.00 police officers are being investigated for sexual and domestic abuse. revelations of criminals within its ranks, including wayne cousins who abducted raped and murdered sara everard, as she was walking home nearly 2 years ago. and david carrick, who admitted to dozens of rapes and sexual offences against 12 women across 2 decades have shaken faith in the force. policing in the u. k. relies on the public's consent and trust. but that trust has been in decline over the past few years, especially when it comes to issues of violence against women and girls. and the
12:43 am
continuing disclosures of members of the force even found guilty of such crimes as only exposing how deep the problem runs. reports of sexual offences and domestic abuse have increased yet. convictions are out. historic lows, receipts of appalling attitudes, of, of disbelief and blame that you know, that sometimes women report to us and, and that's, that obviously causes are many to pull out of, of pursuing allegations. so we're not just talking about here about police officer perpetrators, which is obviously, you know, absolutely, you know, should never happen, but also talking about in it, you know, policing, which is not giving confidence. when sapa jama reported to police, she had been raped and abused by her uncle. the response she says was one of disbelief when i wanted to show them fresh marks i had on my body. i think her like this is where he lost it to me. he burnt way back. i want you to know.
12:44 am
she said me hug. she knew he did. it said they didn't miss he and then that was very, it was very sad me storing trust will be a massive undertaking. and in the wake of the current trial, i know the whole of the you case, entire police culture. maybe just one step to restoring some measure of faith in the 4th one. if i go out to 0 london, 40 percent of animals in the u. s. animals and a 3rd of clowns are at risk of extinction. that's the start warning from north american. scientists who say the biodiversity that remains must be protected now before it's lost forever. and fisher reports. there are changes to the face of america, small, slow, but potentially hugely damaging. nature is also incredibly complex and we don't
12:45 am
always know what the sort of the keystone species is. sometimes people call them. so when you have a habitat and species start going extinct or becoming smaller in number, eventually that can cause the collapse of that habitat type. and you report from nature serv, pills, 5 decades of data from more than 1000 scientists in the us and canada. and it pinpoints areas where land is unprotected and animals and plants are at risk of extinction. part of what so important there is you have data that crosses state life. and so a species might be endangered or imperiled in a certain state. but in the states around it, it's not. so what's at risk? the famous venus fly chop phoned in the wild and only a few counties in the carolinas. half of all cacti might disappear and 200 species of tree habitat degradation and lun. conversion is also putting animals at risk and
12:46 am
all of this can impact humans. another one of the, the groups of species that the report showed is really at risk is fresh water muscles. these are not species. most people get excited about, but they play really important roles within the ecosystems. they're what filters the water and keeps that clean. if you care about going fishing with their son or your daughter, you're going to care about having clean dynamic rivers. the fish that live in those rivers depend on that, that ecosystem service that those muscles provide. the report says there are nearly 1250 plants in the critically impaneled category. the final step before they come extinct and reset to say, the government needs to step up with more money to create safety zones and protection areas. before there's nothing left to protect alan fisher, i'll just either well is producing more single hughes plastic waste than ever before. despite rising consumer awareness and tough worldwide regulations,
12:47 am
new research has found the world generation 137000000 metric tons of single use plastic in 2021. some 7000000 metric tons more than in 20. 19. the min drew foundations, plastic waste makers index says the additional plastic waste created in those 2 years equates to 91 kilogram per person on the planet. and the reports of the crisis will get significantly worse, with the amount being produced, expected to rise and other 17000000 tons by 2027. found recycling isn't skating up fast enough to deal with sheer amount of plastic being produced. meaning use products are more likely to be dumped in landfills or in rivers and oceans of water, plastic produces and making a little progress in tackling the problem is calling for a fundamentally different approach that turns the tap off new plastic production. when the peak is the head of resource policy at the green line stores us live from bedfordshire, here in the u. k. thanks so much for being with us. i wonder if you could tell us
12:48 am
what the biggest area is for, for what we term single use plastic. what was the things are we talking about? so there's lots of different things that are just one time. i think the tech things that the government around the world have been tackling things like single years been carry a bag and straws and color and things like that. but the thing that he's plastic is, is all around us in our day to day. and i take the food and drink that me can you look at what gets into the ocean? actually the biggest portion of it is, is to offload and not not the small items that are, that are problematic when they're literally like scrolling through. but that aren't really the biggest problem. so is the issue that things aren't being recycled is not that they are not recyclable. is that? is that fair? well, i think that the biggest problem is the highlight. we're not turning off the top one plastic pollution. and the analogy is if you've got an overflowing bath tub and
12:49 am
below the water going on the floor, you don't start melting up the mess up there. you stop by turning off the top to much bigger. and then you also deal with the spilled, it's gone over the bathroom. so now i'm into and it's a go back to see the issue of, of recycling, how much progress has been made on, on recycling on. well, they've been very commitments that have been made new way to improve. so hang and improve collection of plastic. but i think the real problem that this report is that fundamentally we're using our too much plastic as well as other materials. and if you just look at, prevent dealing with things when waste has been created, you're not going to get the root causes of the ro isn't it that we're living. and so what would be that when you mentioned that some of their countries have been bending single use plastics under the u. k. as in england, in the bringing in a band in october and they had sort of moves in scotland wells for example. what, what do you think would make a difference? cuz i understand that that she has been tough regulation worldwide,
12:50 am
and we still have this increase in production plastics. yeah, it is a problem. it is a global problem. it's not just the u. k, that's tinkering around the edge of that is it is globally that we're not getting to the heart of the problem by instituting systems of reduced by making it as easy as possible for people to know up for a single year, plastic or single years anything. but rather to embrace a retail re revolution and to and to not need to throw away the thing that we become so reliance on. but that's damaging the planet to such a great extent. and other examples of countries are doing well and that other countries could follow i think not really got it right yet, but there is a promise in the making in the human environment program has said that it's going to create by this year a ras resolution. that's going to be legally binding roll the member states to plastic pollution. and so they're going to be looking at the life cycle of plastics that are not going to be thinking about how do we recycle?
12:51 am
what may they're going to be thinking about? how do we ensure that we don't make more than we need and that we address all of the patients of using far too much plastic libby peak from the green. 100. thank you very much with us in kids on tennis here with a sport. thank you. lauren, there are unconfirmed reports that former gone an international football or christian at sea has been found alive and taken to hospital following the course of quakes and took it in syria. at sea play for high school in the turkish league was thought to be trapped on the rubble is being reported. that the 31 year old has suffered injury lightfoot. we have breathing difficulty, although we are still awaiting confirmation of from his club. the former chelsea and new council plan school the only goal and he victory on sunday. monday to city a face a possible points deduction off of the premier league accused him of breaking financial rules. more than
