be properly processed. plastic isn't meant to end up here, choking the seas and the life in it. but despite a growing public awareness of the need to recycle, councils say their efforts are being undermined by manufacturers. are being undermined it is at sites like these across the country that the recycling process begins. across the country that mountains of rubbish needing separating into what can and can't be reused. separating into what can when it comes to plastic, well, there are bottles like this, fairly easy to separate and recycle. there are bottles like this, but what about these? there are bottles like this, plastic fruit punnets containing mixed materials. that is not so easy. containing mixed materials. and then there's these. black plastic microwave trays. the centres in recycling sorting machines can't detect the black. as a consequence, problems with things like this mean that two thirds of plastics end up just being thrown away. most end up in landfill or incinerated but that is more expensive for councils and taxpayers.
6:43 pm
it's very confusing. and taxpayers. i washed up black things for ages, because i did not want them hanging around smelling, before i went and put them into the recycling. before i went and put then i heard that black was not, you know, you can't do it. to be honest, ijust look at it and i'll say, "plastic, it's going in there". and i'll say, "plastic, i think that's what a lot of people do. the choice of packaging to present their product is seen as crucial by some manufacturers but now there are calls for change. black plastic cannot be recycled currently. so we are saying that actually, black plastic should be banned completely and manufacturers should be made to use plastics that can be recycled. be made to use plastics another solution could be to vary the current flat rate paid by manufacturers to help recycling costs, charging extra for more difficult materials. costs, charging extra for more i think what we need to do is drive designers and manufacturers and brand retailers to go towards those types of packs which are more easily recycled because these ones yield secondary

you are still watching bbc news. let's turn our attention to a couple other stores tonight. four police officers were spotted to a crime, clearing communication is essential. language barriers can make that difficult. now lincolnshire police are trying to break down the barrier by recruiting multilingual officers who can communicate more effectively with the counties at large eastern european community. several walls and went to meet the groups and training. and that is how you could soon be arrested on british soil. these officers have been trained to detain people in their own language. they have both worked in the uk for
6:51 pm
more than a decade. butjoin the force after seeing a divide between the communities and the police. there is a language barrierfrom the very basics. it is really hard to make especially when you are in distress. you can't explain yourself properly and basically most people probably won't make it. in poland we have a different perception of police then i understand british people. a lot of polish people are basically afraid to come forward and because they can't communicate properly so they will basically be avoiding police. they answered a job at from the forest looking for multilingual officers recognising a need to adapt to a changing population. if you're in south holland the boston area, almost 30% of the population come from an
6:52 pm
eastern european background. across the entire county it's around about 10%. in my force we were way down in the single perception —— percentage points just three the single perception —— percentage pointsjust three orfor the single perception —— percentage points just three or for people who could represent those communities. it was a problem for us because it would impede our communication and ability to relate to those kinds of communities. and they know they will have an important role to play in changing that. i am really hoping i will be able to connect with the people and just make the difference and make sure that people will feel like at home. definitely going to introduce myself to the community and tell them that i can communicate with them freely. and talk about what the problems are. so far the force has taken on six multilingual recruits who will be policing the streets of lincolnshire in a few months‘ time. sarah walked in with that report. much more in all the days news coming up from 7pm with
6:53 pm
ca role days news coming up from 7pm with carole walker. but let‘s have a look at the weather prospect very important they are. but get the latest details from linda jenkins. a tale of two stories across the country. the cloud was thick enough to break the rain in scotland. the reason being ones it was the high dominated pressure. as it continues to build to the weekend. you have this weather front going to the far north of scotland. 0vernight, those outbreaks of rain will become mainly confined to the north and west of the scottish highlands. clear spells developing in southern scotland, northern ireland, the clearer skies again northern england well —— as well. 0vernight the 11 and 16 celsius. not as muggy as the nightjust can‘t.
6:54 pm
high pressure will be with us roar. most will be dried and settled and good sunshine across england and wales. still some crawford northern ireland and scotland. better breaks today to allow for spells and sunshine. 21 celsius the high for northern ireland. 15—19 for scotland. mid to high 20s so to this for him and wales. —— england and wales. if they find any tumour with late spells of sunshine. notice how the cloud and rain starts to gather together into northern ireland. it is associated with this front the system here flowing to the northwest of the uk. these fronts will slip their way southwards through monday. ahead of that we will still hold onto the heat. it will not be into the middle of the week near the end of the week that we search sea temperatures slowly started to calm down. but the frontal air for the northwest will arrive to all of us. and not on monday. we will have upwards of rain across northern ireland. a cool breezy feel here.
6:55 pm
some of that rain in the far north of england and elsewhere. much of england and wales another dry day with plenty of sunshine. temperatures on monday across central, southern and eastern england will exceed 30 cells is once again. but notice that contrast. this will eventually arrive to all of us the next way. the next chance the rain is a few tens of a few showers. bye—bye. hello. this is bbc news. the headlines at 7. detectives searching for the missing midwives say they found a body, three people have been arrested. new analysis suggests only a third of plastic food containers can be recycled, the rest is sent to landfill. this report actually is no surprise for us,
