involve physical violence but one thing is clear women who don't keep to traditional roles are often marginalized equality of the sexes has been anchored in the moroccan constitution for the past 80 years but the i'm written doors the expectations placed on women haven't changed much. women these days have a lot of fancy ideas they want to go to europe go shopping no one wants to live like we used to the motion of the before woman leaves the house to go to work she has no protection and men could take advantage of that and the more i think it's ok for a woman to work but it's better if she stays at home especially when there are children who's going to look after the children otherwise. around midday the 1st guests arrive at the amal restaurant and the kitchen starts to hum. the menu always includes traditional moroccan.

4:40 am
and some of the ships that have taken their last voyage end up here gallant get in brussels turns them back into wrong materials europe's biggest ship recycler can take any vessel to pieces whether warship fishing trawler. or russian sub 98 percent of a vessel is recycled here it's an economic sector that appears to have a bright future in europe the e.u. tried to change the way of recycling ships so they wanted to prevent ships you know european ships going to asia and that's why they started every year flagship we wanted to be recycled. place that we. saw today we got i think 26 your yards 3. have this license. and the dealership recycling regulation has been in place since 2019 it stipulates
4:41 am
that all ships now sailing under european flag can only be broken up under strictly controlled environmental and working conditions supervising how the regulation is carried out however is left up to individual member states. were triggered by the appalling working conditions in asia is 10 years ago a 1000 people on average were being injured here every month but the western marine shipyard has taken steps to drastically reduce the number of accidents at the facility the company now even has its own infirmary. i need to form of a safety regulations to stay safe and. we have to take all the required protective measures. and if you're working off the ground you have to wear a safety harness. if you follow the rules it's safe to work here it's the always using. the front i was. yes of course.
4:42 am
but despite the rules not everyone wears a safety harness when they're off the ground we can enforce very strictly but it is more like a culture where it takes time for them to get up but you know i would still i would not except you know if the lab service is obsessed we have to you know denial is not the norm. in belgium all 50 workers at the recycling facility where helmets fire resistant clothing and gas masks when necessary most of the crane operators welders and metal workers aren't permanent staff members at galu their own contracts in spite of all the heavy duty machinery many things in the yard still have to be done by hand. yes

4:49 am
as india prepared for its annual republic day festivities with a big army parade a layer of thick smog hung over the proceedings no surprise and l.a. . just 10 kilometers to the cells waste is omnipresent. environmental activist. has had enough. almost if people die in delhi every day because of air pollution almost a 1000000 and a half people die in india every your word because of head lucian almost half a 1000000 people die in india because of water pollution these problems are on our feet so when you actually see this hazy so rounding and you think it could be better know if log. in the last few years delhi has made headlines internationally as the most polluted national capital on the planet and the rivers flowing through it are toxic and it has a huge problem with waste management. a dump in the eastern part of the
4:50 am
city. around half of all the waste produced in delhi ends up on mountains of garbage like this. they emit poisonous gas into the atmosphere and poisonous fluids into the soil. indian cities churn out more than $60000000.00 tons of waste every year and only around a quarter of it is collected by municipal authorities. unofficial waste collectors and pickers do the rest of the work. the poorest of the poor live in this quarter of the city many of them came to delhi from elsewhere . they collect and store any waste that might bring in even just a little income. the residents are not in any way acknowledged or recognized by the state even though they play such a key role in the city's waste management. it's.
4:51 am
early i have a. little boy who's going to collect it if not us we don't take no responsibility for their own waste especially not the people who live in big houses if we didn't collect it it would pile up in the streets and stink so badly no one would want to go outside if we stopped collecting it for 2 days everything rots. it's estimated there are between one and a half and 4000000 waste collectors and pickers and. they live on the fringes of society with no access to education social or medical services the work makes many of them ill. not far from the impoverished quarter of them lendu john heads up the organization sway chat which translates as free will it's a nonprofit charity then he had the idea to start giving some waste
4:52 am
a 2nd life by recycling it into products that had value again that led to the founding of the charity's commercial arm called green the map. trash the pink has no life or no future and that's what being a map and 3 child walks on right now up cycling beast think that we actually up cycle for example a lot of tire in india is actually born by you know. that's very actually meet interesting wallets out of our those tires and to the top back it's been congesting our landfills for a long long time plastic is similarly so we're told that can be actually bring in innovation design and utility and and make some interesting products. more and more people in india are leaving the countryside for urban centers which are already overwhelmed by the flood of new residents. in india the growing population has increased overall waste by around 50 percent in
4:53 am
the last 10 years. the government says that's down to changing consumer habits. turn g. to early and also came to delhi from villages they're now so articles for green the map today they're visiting the site are bizarre to buy materials for in order. that this market you can get anything you need no matter what it is everything you need to make a bag from in a tire tubes for example like fittings buckles zippers thread you can get everything here. ali came to delhi after finishing school he says there was no reason for him to stay in his village his uncle had found a job at greenham out and was able to get early into the company it was the best way to help his nephew avoid the typical destiny new arrivals to the city face
4:54 am
terrible working conditions for little pay green the map purposely employs many people like ali trying to give them a shot at a decent life. and. lots of boys from my village have ended up working in factories or on construction sites where they have to carry around the cement he used to build high rises. their jobs are a lot more back breaking my work is great. i'm proud that i'm helping to reduce garbage making something useful from it instead of throwing it away. you know if. you want to give the proceeds from green the map help pay for projects pushed by switcher which are aimed at improving air quality and encouraging greener policies in the city but then linda just says there's only so much the charity can do on its own delhi produces almost 10000 metric tons of garbage we're not up cycling 10000
4:55 am
metric tons of garbage don't take this one it's also not my responsibility or our response. but we are committed to the sponsors we. manage albeit since the state's responsibility so it's very very important to really not be aspects of governance from this management governance is the job off the government i mean to hold them responsible for about. is what. is a very very tiny. but it actually inspires people locally nationally globally to look at how there is a possibility it's not something that's discarded there is a life in a beautiful view that you can actually provide. this year the mountain of garbage in eastern delhi will grow higher than one of india's most popular landmarks the taj mahal turning some of it back into useful products is a small stop one of many needed to stop the country from slowly sinking beneath its
