until they get their engines checked. once again, the tie capital has been swallowed bucks, now the smoke p. m $2.00 particular pollution does so small, the damage is the health of all those who breathe in. but the real culprit isn't the exhaust teams or industrial pollution by my spring, especially in recent indecent recent years. that's including the china spot sometimes. and there's a half annoying sauces funding agricultural waste, mainly sugarcane amaze of cone. farm is also in the head, but also in memo, laos and cambodia. selling to some of the world's largest exposes, of sugar, an animal faith. the pharmacy, the cheapest way to dispose of that waste is the bonus. if they do, they face binds or bands from the government. our objective is to protect all of them or what exactly it doesn't that make more sense to protect the farmer who

can't afford to do anything other than burn his crops rather than the $1000000000.00 company that's making to provide them with the option and the private company to provide them with the mechanical equipment. if dick got their kind learn, what are the or the narratives? i'm going to discuss that. so the government will be doing something. yeah. to. but those huge agricultural companies carry considerable political weight. the opposition says law abuse of held up clean and legislation for years. and even if impulse from neighboring countries, a band full of benefits, a still rate by 2 companies always say that we, we want to band the import the boat and import stop flight. but we haven't said that we've gone a band, the export from the boat and cultural areas where we have to speaking that as well . we have to take responsibility for the out the country as well. the government, it says that new legislation is on the way the clean air act presented. the problem

it's a year ago is get to be passed into law. tyler has some of the biggest agricultural businesses in the world, but at the politicians here in parliament, a serious about and tackling and pollution. those of the company is going to have to clean up their act. toni chang al jazeera bank. oh oh, tiny joins us now. live from buying call going to be looking at to the show the of where you are still looking a bit smoky is this week of free public transport made any difference of the know really according to the close the readings today, it's a 173 where i am at the moment that's classified as on healthy. the other parts of buying coke is over $200.00. that's a good quality classification. that is, has, it says where people are really not supposed to go out unless they absolutely have

to. but it has made a big difference to public transport. and if i step out of the way, i can show you where we are a big tree monument, how we've got all these different systems working together over the top, you can see this mess. so this home free railway that in a, in a few minutes you'll see the sky, you train policy across the way. if your boss is in front of us, a real mixture, some of these old diesel buses for the 1980s building out smoke. we have electric does hits, ironically, the not included. and part of this free public transport scape, the, you just your traffic jam traffic. and certainly it didn't make a difference this week. the roads were a little bit clearer. we understand that public transport use increased by about 30 to 40 percent across the different modes of transport. but the thing the government isn't doing is tackling the real source of the problem. and of course,

today as the scheme is coming to an end, able to just getting straight back into the cause. i'm back on the road again. it sounds like these f, it's all terribly joined, up is already long term plan. and the all thing to get to grips with this pollution thing you had in a piece of this, say the emissions are a real problem here in the city also to the fine particular task from construction site. but the real problem here in china is agricultural branding. and that's going on, not just here, but in a ring of countries around china. yeah. and my louse can budget, and there is to name crops, mays or cold, which they use the agricultural face and sugar cane when the foam is left with that they just have to do, ma'am, the waste of waste the but it's too expensive to transport it or treat it in a different way, so they just set it up. and this is the thing, the government says, we can't do anything about that. we can control these farms overseas. the companies

that have beneficiary benefits in a role, ty, thailand, is the 5th largest exporter of animal feet. and the 5th largest exposure of sugar in the world that comes to the companies could be told that they could only use and products which is coming from. farmers who are not funding the ends is that the agricultural waste and that they are very reluctant to do. there is also a clean air bill, which has been sitting in solomon for more than a year. the government's promised to do something about it. but as yet, the legislation really hasn't moved into little okay, well tiny, many things indeed for coming out and braving those fumes will let you get back inside that. so any change in bangkok? recovery operation is underway near the us capsule. after playing a military helicopter collided in mid to 6, the whole people on board the american airlines flights, which was moments away from landing in washington, d. c. 3 were on the helicopter. no one is believed to have survived like kind of
