5:14 am
next month. whatever i know you said you'd answer the question is when you had to do 8 years in how are, why have you done nothing about the pollution this nursery school is having have filters fitted pollution. this bad can cut life expectancy by 3 to 5 years. children are particularly vulnerable, but as they settled down for their afternoon nap, even if it's only for a couple of hours, these kids will finally have clean air to breathe. tourney chang al jazeera chang, my thailand. many people from around the world are commemorating earth day. it's an annual event celebration on april 22nd to show support for environmental protection . nick clerk has more. already this year we've seen record storms. we've seen record drought, and now record heat enveloping swathes of asia from india to southern china,
5:15 am
and down to thailand and throw in this week's report on the devastating effects of pollution globally. and there you have it. humanity and the world we live in is in trouble. the founders of earth, they knew that way back in 1970. his walter cronkite on the cbs evening use 53 years ago. his name a unique day in american history as and in a day set aside for a nation wide outpouring of mankind seeking its own survival birthday. the environmental movements spawned by earth. they energize politics and scored some big achievements. his earth, these founder denise hayes, repassed to clean water act and endangered species act of marine mammal protection . acted toxic substances control act. we ban. let in gasoline re band lead in paint . it was just a remarkable courier to environmental accomplishment shows what can be done, right? thing is on earth day 1970 c o. 2 levels were at $325.00 parts per 1000000. today,
5:16 am
they're at $424.00 and still rising. and that's more than 50 percent above pre industrial times, a concentration not seen for 3000000 years. and it's wreaking havoc, costing billions, displacing millions. this is if they messages, we must invest in our planets. we ask ourselves or is the scale of our response to date, meaning the scale, the challenges, the answer is clear now, but ah, can we still need those challenges? the answer in my view is a clear yes. and that involves public pressure of elected officials and other leaders. it involves accountability, increased accountability. ah, it involves tremendous creativity in order to meet these challenges, the founders of earth, they knew very well this fact how humanity treats the world reflects how the world
5:17 am
treats humanity. 53 is on. we see evidence of that. every single day. we're going to go back to our story. now we're more than 2000000 people thailand before the sickness is linked to pollution of more on this attorney chang joins us live now from china. my so tony, what can be done about this terrible appellation, or is the government paralyzed in some way over this issue? it is absolutely, it's a big problem or the government is facing issues beyond its own borders. we've got a smog of flows here across from myanmar, from laos, from cambodia. but also the solutions are relatively simple to we were speaking a couple of days ago to the chair of the parliament. you subcommittee who looked into this. he said it's quite easy. we just have to get the big agro businesses on side because they're the ones, even though they're operating beyond thailand's borders. they're centered within
5:18 am
thailand, m a. he said they need to just make sure that they are sourcing their animal feed from ethical sources and they communicate with their farmers not to burn off the waste from the corn and sugar cane after they produced it. and that farmers are subsidized for what is a slightly more expensive process, but he said it could be relatively easily done. the problem is there isn't the political will. we chased down the prime minister yesterday and tried to ask him about his record. he's been in power for the last 8 years and nothing has been done . in fact, the problems got much worse. you should normally be able to see the whole of ching, my city stretched out behind me to day. all you can see is smog and very hazardous smoke. this is was classified as very unhealthy for much of the last 3 months. the smog here has been classified as hazardous, but the prime minister would nance the question, he hasn't done anything at all. and one of the reasons is those agro businesses,
5:19 am
a fund, a lot of the political parties here and the military. you, antonia, as you say, we can see just how bad it is behind you there. on top of all that there were massive heat wave is enveloping parts of the region. tell us more about that. yes will. this is compounding the problem again with the pollution here that would often be gone by reins that come about this time of year. but they haven't that, so, so causing the heat to increase some temperatures around bangkok is set to be feeling like $54.00 degrees today. the government has warned that that's a real problem. many people could be at risk of heat stroke and they're predicting that could go on for some time. that has been a little bit a seasonal rain, but not the amount they need either to clear the pollution here or to bring the temperature down and they're predicting with the el nino effect coming in later this year that they could well be droughts and they could be much more serious and
5:20 am

5:22 am
from breaking down the headlines to exposing the powers that tempting to finance reporting, what did you do? what did you investigate? why didn't you off the extra question? there are many during that felt fencer people have but you think effect on subsequent stories. the listening post doesn't cover the news. it covers the way the news is covered to suppress moderate. and in some cases amplify the content you see on your part of the listening post on which is era. ah ah,
5:23 am
the watching out to sara, reminder about top stories this out fighting has continued across to dan's capital cartoon. despite her 3 day cease fire, warring sides agree to stop vod ids for each festivities which marks the end of ramadan. at least 413 people have been killed. the supreme court in the u. s. has ordered the abortion to remain widely available, pending and appeal. it blocked restrictions imposed by local court with severely limit access to be fed kristin and former peruvian preston, tara 100. toledo has surrendered to us agents in california and will be extradited to face corruption charges back home. the next few days, he's accused of taking more than $25000000.00 in bribes from the brazilian firm odin breaks during his 5 years in office. the u. k. has a new deputy prime minister on of a doubt and has been named as a replacement for dominate rob,

5:25 am
a dangerous precedent that would encourage spurious complaints against ministers, opposition, politicians disagree. i don't know why dominic rob, in the middle of a cost living crisis, think that anybody wants to hear about his whining about having to reside. what i think everybody wants is strong leadership, but that's us being palpably absent here. reports of his behavior surface back in 2021. when rob served under boris johnson, and while he was foreign secretary, when he delayed returning home for holiday during the chaotic withdrawal of u. k. embassy personnel from afghanistan. but the man who was stepped in to lead the country when johnson was hospitalized with covered 19, remained at the heart of government. but dominic rob now gone, the prime minister now finds himself without his most local political ally. and there are still questions of why it took so long mississippi not to address the
5:26 am
issue of mister robs conduct. and if he had been warned before, hiring him as his deputy, the loss of the prime ministers chief ally comes at a particularly difficult time for tonight. months of strikes, soaring, inflation and energy prices have tested the resolve of the country and its leaders after the high drama of the johnson years and less trust is short. but turbulent tenure as leader promised accountability integrity and fashionable ism with having a claim he hoped, would convinced the public in spite of questions that remain about the culture inside westminster. so i'll go, i'll just sarah london, muslims in many parts of the world, marking either celebration or the end of the holy month of ramadan. in india, morning prayers have been held that new dell is done much in the timing of it is determined by the citing of the presently. meanwhile,
