i have dined at a detention center in libya satellite images showed the outline of the building just outside of tripoli now this was before the attack and this is after the attack the question why were the migrants targeted or were they used as human shields tonight the u.n. is demanding answers saying this has all the hallmarks of a war crime i'm burnt off in berlin this is the day. that. we are deeply saddened extremely shocked. never issued an order targeting this shelter. so that can be no excuse for the sense of having it how they see that

we're responsible army that cares about the interest of the country but this is a perfect example of why we've been calling for some months now and nobody to be returned to the yes this is the it was. also coming up tonight it's in the food we eat and the trash we throw away can we ever overcome our addiction to plastic that way. and we are kidding ourselves by using. fake and. praise and hand on trust. country. to our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and all around the world welcome we begin the day counting the lives lost lives of people who have already lost their homes today more than 40 migrants within detention centers near trip. libya were killed in air strikes now

the united nations says that more than 130 people were also wounded in this airstrike libyan as you may know is considered by many to be a failed state in north africa it is also a major transit point for migrants heading to europe the migrant detention center that was bombed is located in to shore which is just to the east of the libyan capital tripoli now 2 forces are fighting for control of the capital and its surroundings one is led by the warlord you see here khalifa have tar he has the backing of egypt and france and the other is the government of national accord led by 5 years al shaab rough it enjoys broader international backing such as from the u.n. we cannot say tonight with certainty that the migrant center was targeted by half tars forces but he did announce on tuesday night that they would be bombing too

sure of the district where the migrant center is located picking up the pieces this woman dreamed of a better life she could have imagined she'd end up here in a shattered migrant detention center surrounded by the dead. and these people are the lucky ones the survivors of last night's bombing although they have little left to speak of and even now they're caught between warring armies far from their homes whether they be in sudan or somalia part of what we. want to do and are plugged. in. last night a fighter plane dropped a bomb on a center filled with hundreds of people. amid the chaos survivors began recovering bodies the heavy death toll as grim as it was

predictable. on groups. around the. globe. even before last night the center of in a suburb of tripoli had been a disaster in the making another bomb landed nearby in may rights group amnesty international said our forces carried out the attack as they moved on tripoli. the migrants into georgia are among 3 and a half 1000 the un has warned are in detention centers located near libya's battle front weeks ago migrants at a different center protested an increasingly dangerous situation. and 2 out of now close to speak english clash and the front today so we need evacuation now. identity we need an investigation but since then the

fighting in libya has only escalated. meanwhile migrants continue to wait and hope not knowing what will happen next. 5 for more on this now i'm joined by a pow in the never from the u.n. age c.-r. she is head of the unit in libya she joins us tonight from tunis in tunisia poets good to have you on the program we want to make sure that it's clear to our viewers tonight the migrants who were in this detention center they were migrants who had tried to make it to europe via the mediterranean they had been picked up in the med by the libyan coast guard which is financed by the european union is that correct. yes so we're talking about over $600.00 refugees and migrants who have left in the case of refugees their countries looking for safety looking for international protection they had to do it a very difficult journey along the desert up and to leave yet and try to cross the

majority of them the mediterranean sea and then brought back to media and into the homes and so they have already endured a very difficult life while being held in detention for a very part of years time. in a terrible terrible fate there this for these people that the united nations we understand had already warned that this detention center was in harm's way and that it could be a target in the fighting for tripoli and apparently that warning was ignored. well as you know the tension center was a main concern for us in u.n.h.c.r. because as you well say it's ok to in an area of active clashes we had already relocated in the month of may more than 80 refugees to other gathering and departure facility into 20 however we do not have the capacity to absorb everyone who was into jordan the tension center and we had been repeatedly calling for an end to the tension and to free this refugees and migrants from the tension in order

for them not to be in harm's way and 12 void what happened yesterday which was extremely tragic we're very saddened and we condemn the attack that happened yesterday and we know the united nations says that all migrant detention centers now in libya should be closed can you confirm is that going to happen anywhere in the world where will these migrants go if these centers are closed. well as units host detention the tension of refugees should not happen under any circumstance we have been advocating for this for a long time we do have a gathering and departure facility in tripoli run by units by our partner debate and the ministry of interior where we are processing the most vulnerable refugees for evacuation in 3rd countries where they can actually find international protection and safety and have a chance at life they have endured very difficult circumstances they had suffered

enough and we continued to call on the international community to give them a chance and to give them safety which is what they're looking for and we understand that's what you would like to see but what is actually happening tonight if these centers are closed do these migrants do they have somewhere to go when there are many refugees more than $56000.00 who are actually living in the urban conflict so they're not detained so this is a possibility to be explored to actually have them live in their own context and we continue to create something process the most vulnerable tourist that's when there are ways there aren't targets to the tension we just have to work together as an international community to make that reality. how the origin are from the u.n. agency are joining us tonight from tunisia we appreciate your time and insights thank you thank you so much for having us.

hers is a story of saving lives at sea and violating the law to bring those wives on to land captain carbury was arrested on saturday for steering her boat the sea watch 3 unlawfully into the port of lampedusa on board were 40 migrants from libya who had been rescued in the mediterranean where yesterday an italian judge ordered to be released on our heads it has been moved to a secret location amid concerns for her own safety the migrants they have been transferred to a reception center where they are waiting to be redistributed to european union countries that have agreed to take them in our heads it is due to face another judicial hearing in italy next week. w.'s army and as it is in these a zillion city of gentile he says locals are divided after that judge ordered his

release the judge said she was only doing her duty to save human lives when she disobeyed italian police and brought her ship to port but cision angered italian deputy prime minister matteo south any who said about kate that will now be expelled from italy and despite the show of support here and i'd be gentle for a woman many italians see as a hero there is also widespread support for it and the immigration stance many here don't see highgate that as a lifesaver they see her as an agent of a foreign power taking her ship down to the libyan coast to pick up migrants and forcibly delivering them to italy's doorstep for themselves d.d. is the hero protecting italy's so-called sovereignty even at the expense of migrants lives. today is international plastic bag free day a day meant to highlight the damage that plastic waste is doing to our planet in

a moment we'll show you what happens to the plastic products that you might be using but 1st we've got some statistics that may shock you the world produces $300000000.00 tons of plastic waste every year now that is about the weight if you were to take every person on the planet put them together the weight of the entire human population 10000000 tons end up in the world's oceans a lack of effective waste management is the biggest source of this problem. 90 percent of plastic 90 percent of a lot is carried by reverse such as the yangtze and the yellow river in china or the ganges in india only a small fraction of this waste remains on the surface or on the coastlines much of it degrades and breaks down into microscopic particles and that is another huge problem these micro plastics they are often ingested by fish and shellfish

and guess what then there are eaten by us humans are rubbish it has spread and it permeates our oceans including here in which take a good look at this this is the deepest place on earth a love in kilometers below the surface of the pacific ocean in the marianna trench you see that right there a plastic back or china announced 2 years ago that it would no longer accept plastic waste for recycling and that is putting pressure on other developing countries that have become destinations for plastic dumping take a look. this is canadian plastic waste that was supposed to end up in the philippines right now it's burning up in a canadian incinerator the government says it's being safely treated in line with national standards the waste was sent to the philippines years ago following a legal dispute the government in manila hired

a shipping company to send it back to canada. and this is what happens when southeast asian countries accept western waste. mountains of garbage from france germany and other european countries items are used once and thrown away malaysian activists found this site next to a palm oil plantation. we followed the factory every day. they. put out and then they button it up that. i treat so those. help. the problem has gotten worse since china stopped accepting waste shipments in 2017 since then millions of tons of waste have been shipped to thailand vietnam malaysia and indonesia an environmentalist have called on the countries to stop accepting waste they also say the solution isn't just local the

producers of plastic also have to change their ways. but i think way. and we are kidding ourselves by using. i think we took it and i think. the nation and they trust. our country. the european union has promised to stop exporting its plastic waste to developing countries but only in 2021 so for now the trash mountains of malaysia and its neighbors will just keep growing. i'm joined now by clear arkin that is she is with the global alliance for incinerator alternatives there is a coalition of n.g.o.s from 90 countries working on plastic waste reduction she joins us from the beautiful place of berkeley california it's good to have you on the show i guess the question we want to ask you 1st and foremost why in the world

do you rich countries sind their trash abroad in the 1st place i mean why is this a thing. yeah good question while the global classic recycling economy is deeply broken and just exporting countries are basically exporting their classic problems elsewhere. in our countries like canada france nikkei are saying that they have high class recycling rates but a lot of their plastic collected. is being sent to countries in the global south and. down cycle or burnt with with severe environmental and human health impacts and the reason is because we simply have too much plastic to know what to do it and much of the plastic packaging on the market saying it's simply not economically or technologically feasible to us and so this is not just in waste management issue yeah. yeah i just want to say is that what you're telling is that is that in the

united states in europe in canada we simply we have more plastic then we can dispose of correct yeah and a lot of the plastic that we should have brought is really low work and low value meanwhile with the fracking them you ask for creating so much more and more versions and it's out competing recycling and there's no way that recycling can to keep so we really need to hold corporations accountable for producing this plastic and 1st place and pressure them to truly innovate by reducing rethinking and redesigning their products and delivery systems that you worked on a report the details the impact of this the global practice of sending our trash to other places the impact that this has on local communities who are at the front lines of this crisis what did you find out. yeah so our investigation went to engineers and thailand and it found that contaminated

water supply cropped out respiratory illness from exposure to burning plastic a rise of organized crime for example your go north thank you antony's that was largely an agricultural lage filled with rice fields today there are piles of plastic waste he didn't announce most humi years high in the middle of the road and waste figures come in season as whatever they find in the trash whatever foreign currency so we've seen that you know in general malaysia for example plastic is burning through the night and people wake up gasping and coughing from the smoke and are getting skin rashes and other really problematic health and. you know clear arkan from the global alliance for incinerator alternatives claire we appreciate you taking the time to talk with us tonight and for sharing your insights definitely an important story thank you.

europe's new leadership is taking shape after days of wrangling over the top jobs members of the european parliament have elected an italian social democrat david sas only as their new president a leaders have dominated candidates for 4 other posts with german defense minister ursula for the lion as their pick for commission president she made her 1st appearance at the european parliament today where she tried to convince skeptical members to ratify her nomination and she promised to quote listen a lot now a vote on fund a lion's nomination is expected on july 15th by the european parliament parliament will also vote on the nomination of i.m.f. head christine lagarde to become the new president of the european central bank or yesterday the guard tweeted this i am honored to have been nominated for the e.c.b. presidency in light of this and in consultation with the ethics committee of the i.m.f. executive board i have decided to temporarily relinquish my responsibilities as

i.m.f. managing director during the nomination period. let's take the story over now to washington d.c. i'm joined by our correspondent helen the home for good evening to you helen the guards nomination is unusual in a couple of ways she is a woman and she has no experience as a central banker and both of these together and what do we have. a strong advantage perhaps friends i don't know certainly she'll be a breath of fresh air addressing firstly the fact that she's not an economist by training well i think the record now speaks for itself having led a multi doctrine organization the i.m.f. with its 189 members successfully but certainly has skills all as a diplomat and a communicator i've attended many press conferences at the world economic forum

annual meeting in davos for the global financial outlook where she has it's a livid at the statement that and she's famous for translating economic policy into something that is very quotable soundbite she's famous of course for employing imploring many governments to fix the roof whilst the sun is shining and that kind of calm communication can be very useful in calming markets of course which can react to any volatile statements she has that economic capital no pun intended debit of course she joined the i.m.f. in 2011 in the often off of a global financial crisis she presided over a debt relief for both tina and greece and finally referencing the fact that she's a woman she certainly sees that as an advantage she once famously equipped with regards to the lehman brothers had it been that lehman sistas the global financial crisis might not have happened a tool so she certainly sees women as being in a strong position and potentially move risk adverse when leading these kinds of

institutions but the lehman sisters agree with her on that as well you know her 1st if she gets the nomination would be november 1st that is the day after the u.k. scheduled to leave the european union so we're talking about baptism by fire here will. even blink if she's faced with this. it's certainly a nasty 1st day at work i think of course a lot depends on how the u.k. it leaves the european union but as i've mentioned she certainly weathered economic turmoil before now we're makani for example the current governor of the bank of england potentially take up her job at the international monetary fund she may find a very useful interlocutor there but for example she she said evokes very clever with regards to greece and debt relief there when it was very reluctant to release

that final traunch of bailout money for athens and finally she managed to get short of breath to acquiesce on dot front that said i mean we are seeing slow economic growth in the euro zone right now as predicted at 1.2 percent which is rather and the mic so she will have to try and you know get some consensus in terms of fiscal stimulus from euro zone governments but i think she will be in a good position to do so as a former french government minister and certainly we did see the markets rally yesterday both the german dax and from his care home when they heard the news about their appointment but in terms of how toolkits i do think we would see more of the same from draggy based on what you know we've seen her say presiding over the i.m.f. before we're talking about bond buying program as for example the potential for negative interest rates we know germany doesn't like it but that could be well something that she does advocate for the guard was the 1st woman to run the wall for where she once worked she was the 1st woman to be finance minister of.

country she was the 1st woman to run the. herd's is a career of shattering glass ceilings you agree. i mean it absolutely was and i think we have to salute that but i also think that it's more than that and i think that that means that you also have to offer for example what's god wants to achieve in returning to europe and presiding over the european central bank when she's already had such a meaningful and prestigious career and you know you have to also potentially is she eyeing further european need to ship positions in the future thus to of course just speculation for now looking into the crystal ball but it will certainly be very interesting to see what this return to frankfurt means and i think your crystal ball is very clear this evening so i'm home 1st in washington hello as always we appreciate it thank you. the day is almost done the conversation
