thousands and injured hundreds of civilians, mostly with explosions in gunshot waves in the hospitals. the floors are full supplies that showed last week. yes. you know, actually my and out. the situation is chaotic in 3 days. we've received moved in 400 injured people since january. we've had more than a 1000. that hospital has a capacity of 146 bits, but we currently have more than 200 injured for lender. and i'm 23 say that defending themselves from hostile on groups. condo says, then the thing is, minerals, rwanda's, mineral expos, have doubled in the last 2 years. at the same time, the displacement comes around, guidelines of swollen is and $23.00 scientists of advanced. do you and says about half a 1000000 people have been forced from their homes in the last month in the city?

commuters from using that cause. but the pollution problem is not a new one. as tony chang reports to the driver rims his engine, sending a cloud of black smoke onto the streets of bank of the police, around checking emissions. and then use isn't nearly all of these cause the thing i wrote is fine until they get their engines checked. once again, the type of capital has been swallowed bucks. now the smoke p. m 2.5 particular pollution does so small, the damage is the health of all those who breathe in the real culprit isn't the exhaust teams or industrial pollution by my spring. so especially in reason, in this recent years, that's including the trying to somebody some times. and there's a half annoying sauces standing, accurate, cultural waste, mainly sugar cane, a maze of cone pharmacy. not any head, but also in memo,

laos and cambodia. selling to some of the world's largest exposes, of sugar, an animal feed, the pharmacy, the cheapest way to dispose of that waste is the bonus that they do. they face fine . so bands from the government. oh, well protective is to protect the farmers. but what exactly it doesn't make more sense to protect the farmer who can't afford to do anything other than burn his crops rather than the 1000000000 dollar company that's making to provide them with the option and the private company to provide them with the mechanical equipment. if dick got declined, learn, what are the or the narratives are going to discuss that? so the government will be doing something. yeah. but those huge agricultural companies carry considerable political weight. the opposition says low bits of held up clean and legislation for years. and even if impulse from neighboring countries, a band full of benefits, a still rate by time 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 to export from best buy and cultural areas where we have to speaking that as well. we have to take responsible for the opposite country as well. the government, it says that new legislation is on the way to 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 if the politicians here in parliament, a serious about tackling and pollution, those of the company is going to have to clean up their act. toni chang, elgin's era, bank coke, and tony joins us now live from bank golf. so tony has this week of free public transport made any difference. and earlier in the week this guys were a little clara. but today the pollution is back in full force. about

a $174.00 on the 8 q registered. it is going up. since the law, so when i spoke up in the other parts of bang called it's well over 200 of that array to a healthy this isn't the real problem. certainly this free public transport is being well taken up in the sky trade, which is just above my head. the 40 percent of travelers, other mode transport have increased 20 to 30 percent. and i can give you a sense of just a bangkok is working in transport terms. if i step suddenly out of the way, you can see the sky chain coming out. this is a rail system that goes across the tide capitol. we've got foxes, and these are a big problem. a lot of these a variables that run on the days of pumping out terrible fumes in the background. they've got an electric bustle. the interesting, you're very excluded from public transports came. but we've also got full lanes of

cars, and most of the time this is absolutely jam packed with the traffic. a lot of the cars just sitting here pumping out exult pins. a lot of people all very keen to use public transport. there is a relatively good system here and that's how a capital, but it is also very expensive. a lot of computer computers complain that just getting into work is that the price of a ticket is the equivalent to a meal, which is prohibitively expensive. so they would like to see more schemes introduced by the government to try and get cheaper. why is government using public transport? the moment to that, however, today is the final, the very free public transport and tomorrow. and one's going to get back to getting back onto the road. ok, tony will leave it there for now. tony chang. bye for say in bangkok. still ahead on alger 0. i've had to go hate on capitol hill. we're 2 of trump's most
