of the spring every 2nd. it's at the heart of a large water park much loved by locals. it's in bellingham a suburb of costa rica's capital san jose a 1000000 people live in and around the city. the water pours forth from springs across the area. hampers that muscle mass and then what people used to having a lot of water so they use it for things that aren't really necessary and there was a bit on the challenge we face is to teach them that we actually need to protect and conserve water. and we should only use it when we really have to. do is say the men as espinosa works for the bell and municipality on its water conservation program as part of that city seeks to buy up land in private ownership where there is springs in order to create conservation areas this plot is the 1st

the city has bought. the official list comprises 30 springs in by land but there are probably many more. yeah when this. song i was sometimes people just don't tell us if they have a spring on their property. or they say yes there's a little water in my garden but not much. when we go and investigate it turns out it's a real spring and we need to secure the land. real estate in bel-air is expensive so this purchasing project is too it's being financed by means of a levy on water that residents have to pay. costa rica is very serious about water access to drinking water has recently been written into the constitution as a basic right and that covers the conservation of springs. 95 percent of the

population do have access to clean drinking water still the government is keen to do even better well it is also upgrading its waste management so that trash doesn't contaminate the soil groundwater or springs. at this facility workers are looking for materials that can be recycled. this is also part of the program to protect water resources and the environment. is. this project is about ensuring that stuff doesn't end up here at the dump it gets recycled. and that we don't use more or more water to manufacture more and more goods. and sorts of products can't be recycled then we should start using more resources to make them. because the oil. is that. there's also a social aspect to the recycling project that people who saw the trash of each

faced major problems in their lives here they have the opportunity to make a living they work on their own account selling whatever they find to recycling companies. there are 7 of us at the moment living from this project. but with the money we make we 1st cover our costs and then divide up what's left among ourselves. see. source on our store had just split up with her partner when she started working here several years ago. suddenly the homemaker was a single mother with 2 boys to feed sorting trash was meant to be just a stop gap. is that right. i develop skills i never knew i had. i like to manage the projects and esteem responsibility for others i've really come to love the project. and. residents are expected to

sort that trash into various categories but many don't trash collection here is on thursdays. but the workers from the sanitation department won't take stuff deposited on the roadside unless it's properly sorted. another project only implemented on a few streets so far as inspectors review trash waiting for collection by the roadside. is one of them. sacks may only contain things that can be recycled. but over here we have a problem. this is just garbage it can't be recycled. i'll take a photo and i'll send it to the municipality. such photos help the sanitation department identify the most common mistakes residents make. the biggest problem has proved to be organic waste so 300 households have

been given a composter tachyon in a bottle part of us is one of the lucky ones she's been composting diligently for 6 months now. you have to put leaves on top layer of moist waste then a layer of leaves. so we can look after our planet we just have to want to. lost her job in a hotel when the pandemic hit now the family has only one breadwinner her husband. they've long been concerned about the environment and use water sparingly. as one of the other 3 was one of it is a few days ago we got a letter from the municipality congratulating us because our water consumption a solo. the congratulations were printed on on your statement

congratulations for doing such a good job. that craze is also a way for the city to encourage people to continue to use water wisely. this brings here yield plenty of fresh water and that's not about to change number less costa rica is working to improve the management and conservation of its water resources. where. bodies are to a large extent made up of water we need food and water to live as a source of life. children. continence. one giant problem on a normal because she beat you. by

theory that leftist extremists and disguised were responsible for storming the capitol building stream. let's listen to a little of what chris ray had to say during his testimony there's no doubt that it included individuals that we would call militia violence. in some instances individuals were racially motivated extremists who advocate for the superiority of the white race but the militia probably at the moment trending the biggest bucket. reporter stacey bivins has been following the hearing for us and she joins us now stacey this is the 1st time we've heard the f.b.i. director speaking publicly about what led to the storming off the capitol we all remember these pictures of ryan says essentially trying to stop the transfer of power the f.b.i. director for himself. in washington d.c. democrats and republicans rarely agree on anything but when it comes to what to

raptor ray gave as an explanation it didn't cut it for either side now the back story is that in norfolk virginia there is an f.b.i. post and they caught some chatter and sent an e-mail the day before to a joint committee and also posted it on a special site. but lawmakers were wondering why there wasn't more of a vigorous attempt for the for the f.b.i. to be in contact with other police it was clear that director away and not want to throw anybody under the bus but there but his testimony today showed that there are some serious questions still that need to be answered and lawmakers on both sides say is that this means that there needs to be a 911 style commission so that we know who knew what was happening why they didn't react more quickly. i mean we understand that the the information that they got was a raw and kind of you know oh there might be a war happening there's people going to be surrounding the capitol but then why

wasn't there greater presence we saw a great presence in the summer for black matter marches where was it here these are the questions that need to be answered because big a black lives for president donald trump often blamed groups like black clouds now for untold violence across the united states he called the group a symbol of heights while downplaying the rise of the far right has the f.b.i. director turned on his head yes but he's been saying this for quite some time and he and 2017 he issue don't report donald trump don't want to hear it he's one of these people were if you like him no matter how sick your beliefs are he's on your side so he constantly downplayed as you said the actions of white supremacist groups and try to blame and but today in the hearing ray made it very clear that there were no fake trump supporters pretending to represent him there was no anti

in which miller has been able to largely. avoid global accountability measures such as sanctions because of i.c. and general commitment to not interference and you know our is a very export dependent country and so a lot of trade goes on along at mars borders as well as with neighboring countries and countries in the region and so if i see an nations decide to intervene in more then. the ways they happen to pass then it could definitely have an impact or i know the crackdown has been brutal by the military activists online are referring to them as terrorists is there any sign protesters are deterred by the violence. it's also not just the protesters the committee representing which is a committee made up of elected officials have also put out statements declaring them to be a terrorist organization and you know i think what we're seeing in terms of street protest at least is that quite

a number of people are now staying home instead of going out into the streets but the street protests have not stopped and i think it's also relevant for us to remember at that. the civil disobedience movement it's not just about a movement in the streets it's also about helping and supporting civil society civil servants not engaged with military directives and work for of military government now there's also a row brewing in the united nations in new york over the ambassador to the u.n. tell us about the. yes so what's a centrally what's happening right now is that there are dual claims to legitimacy and to be the government of myanmar there is the currently or the you know the currently. present permanent representative who made a statement essentially saying that he would not observe directives from a military controlled government and that he has his allegiance with the elected

government and the un at this point has not recognized a new government in myanmar and although they have gotten letters from the military that the current representative has been fired because they're not recognized as the government that letter has not really gone into effect and that un general assembly will have to make a decision on which government in myanmar they choose to recognize and give legitimacy to right journalist i mean in yangon thank you very much for your reporting. some of the hundreds of kidnapped nigerian schoolgirls who were freed on tuesday have recounted stories of how they were taken from their beds at gunpoint they said the gunman who kidnapped them last week beat them and threatened to shoot them during a forced march into captivity the government in some far state says 279 students were released or thirty's had said more than 300 were kidnapped but it's not yet

clear if that number was an era or of some of the girls are still missing. but their ordeal is over. officials say the almost 300 school children are healthy however some did suffer physical wounds it's the psychological impact of their kidnapping but may take longer to heal. if you didn't when did most of us injured our feet and we couldn't continue to walk our captors said they would shoot anybody who didn't continue we walked across the river and they hit us and let us sleep under bushes in a forest. and a mother crying. for the families of the schoolgirls kyra leaf is unsurmountable. i'm going to my very happy. you know i guess i'm not god has brought our or deal to an end

that he is what we're so happy because i'm in this that i thank god for everything i do i look dead about that like that had to do what he wanted to would in my lifetime to be and that the students were abducted from this boarding school by an armed gang last friday government officials have been in talks with the kidnappers known locally as bandits up they say these bandits in zamfara state often kidnap for ransom money and to press for the release of their members held in prison authorities are searching for the culprits. so think on this one don't think you. would do this when this thing has to stop out there before you would. line. it to a. halt when you see such home phones couples are in and then just that. nigeria's president also tweeted saying they're working hard
