ah loves as for every body, love is live. i love matters and that's my new podcast. i'm evelyn sharma. and i really think we need to talk about all the topics that north divides and tonight and this i have invited many deer and well known guests. and i would like to invite you to an end ah, in the air on land and under water industries are contaminating our natural environment. often with impunity. waste and pollutants threatened the health of millions of people. but it's getting hard local perpetrators to hide,

join us on eco, india, as we discover efforts to track and stop toxic practices. hello and welcome. i'm funneled unquote. unlike what you see here, the pick he's that involves many indian cities, is a visual reminder of a killer let is impossible to escape globally. air pollution accounts was 7000000 bits every year. a city in the national capital region tops the list of the cities with the wolves waltzed it. we headed there to find out why. ah, it husband golden, the world's most polluted city. body about 70 kilometer is away from india's capital. denny. it is an industrial hub and under doris balloon the recently released world air

quality indexed by i q n. a swiss air monitoring company has reported that b verde has the highest point particle concentration in the work the lady, the industrial town, and a major problem of that region are that city, it has been the industries, the industries have not adopted the d n. a technology so far enough fuel has also not reached the city as such. so for instance, in delhi, the city, most of the industry and on lpg or gas, which is not the case, been polarity. that's a problem. there's also a big issue of based learning. a lot of industrial waste which is generated in the city is burned without much control as hope and sun for pollution. and that also access to pollution in the city. but they are also w issues of traffic this out of graphic in the city. the culprit is but to collect matter 2.5, a dangerous fine particles with

a diameter of up to 2.5 micro meters. this is much thinner than a human head. the dani air particle can be made of toxic cub, metals blasted and normal dust. it can damage the lungs, reducing their capacity to absorb oxygen. with over 100000 residents, b buddy is also heavily polluted with a large number of people living close to cement, steel, petroleum, and plastic manufacturing plants. the toxic fumes have been see really impacting the health of the bodies residence, especially ger. so this a $21.00, he had all be body resident. he lives in one of these neighborhoods or 2 year old son. jesse suffered from acute respiratory issues and needs regular normalization. hello. that those come with her that my child started breathed heavy. he got

a coil and cuffed so we took him here. we have a machine at home and my son starts to breathe heavily. be use it. if that doesn't give him relief, we take him to the hospital. so dish blimps, the emissions from the factories which are mostly still goal fired long term exposure to find dust particles can cause other health problems from acid even to lung cancer. minor symptoms like fatigue or body aches or widespread damage aqua open it bo, i killed respite in the routine. cases of acute respiratory infections range from 5 to 10 percent, but when pollution rises, it reaches up to 20 percent and willfully in composite packet and says, infection, cookies, buddy, up in and us. but thinking, please mandated that didn't people who work, i'll goes on at high risk, m r g does, does construction work to provide for his family?

he has little choice, but to risk his own health, to on money to survive. all i began uncle abilene done like that, carla can analyze a company. i took a lease. companies have businesses bundling inside and a light diesel oil company, a bike me, it's a lot of pollution. this should be penalized, but it is not what can we do? the ad libbed us. we have to add money to eat. in 2021, the government came up with the local action blonde, cleaner fuels like compressed guess a by natural gas, making those alternatives accessible to all industries is a major in thought structural challenge. so far, only 20 percent of industries in the bravado region have shifted to cleaner food electricity, if possible. if electricity not possible, at least of gas, quickbooks ness, and for that that infrastructure needs to reach the city and that needs to be made

. and this electricity or gas needs to be made available to the industry at the rate which is compatible and compete with for them so that they don't go back. arthritis use other fuels in levy are as rocky is one of the few industrialists who switch from coal to natural gas. he owns a conveyor belt, manufacturing plant, installing a pipe, natural gas, or b and g system was costing how to sub do ali. lucian normally increases each year after the d valley festival. yeah. then there is a decision was made to shift from full connection to as a, but they didn't. i used to be in v line, your quality, but in general though the p n g line open e p, we shifted to be an interactive and quick train. i hope well or didn't what he may be in the line. i ought they hm. they out of the i'm the boiler bunch of the i r b in deductible rod he says that switching from cold to

b and g has helped him reduce emissions. he says it is a relief to provide a healthier environment before his workers don't use their money even though i'm benefiting gosford business be failed. this was that i choice and considering that listening from blue sham there for an nocturnal giant but kept digitally appleton. a carnegie, the city council is now taking action to improve the lives of the body residence in the future. trash burning will be more closely monitored and dumps will be constructed for industrial. where's the administration has already introduced other measures? didn't data mean in the few months since the air quality report was published? the government has begun monitoring pollution on the rules that they have planted. more cheese roy, the up being more attention, rookie, me hope, the citrus m to in math with arrow yes. business on muradi has also taken the 1st steps in the right direction. now it is up to the estimated $300.00 other

businesses in the body. we'll still use a lot of dirty energy to follow his lead. unlike apaloosa, contamination of marine and violence can be harder to detect, especially when it's done illegally. one culprit ships looting the wolves, oceans with oily waste water, as at a bottle of discoloured whistles bypass environmental laws to save time and money with disastrous consequences. ah, this shaky video was filmed secretly inside of a think of ship secretly, because he shows something to should not be there. did you see it? that's what it again. there it is. ah, this is a bail to bump. chips use it to illegally dump toxic, wasting the ocean. facebook is, is called build dumping and it's causing one of the worst environmental disasters

at see 1st, let's look at what builds water is. a belt is the lowest spot of a ship, where the 2 sites meet. ready bitch water is the water that accumulates here, except it's not exactly water. ships of this size are massive machines with lab, your intake pipe systems, engines bigger than coach buses. burning streams of heavy fuel oil, the pipes can leak, the oil can spill, and the engines need cooling and cleaning. all these liquids are collected in the belt, and it's not a nice view. oh, we know very well that oil can chopping kill animals. well, bells, water contains oil, diluted with water plus various chemicals and heavy metals. oil can suffocate and intoxicate fish and birds, and even if they survive,

their offspring might not. phase is the heart of a normal healthy fish larva. this is that of a larva exposed to oil. the result, a small heart, a slower heart heat, and lower chances of surviving. the water is so toxic that it has been regulated for more than 50 years. it's a hellish drainage. you really don't want to dump in the ocean to find out what happens. flower oceans. we looked at them from the sky. this is a problem that has been personally bothering me for most of my career. this is john amos. he found out about the bilge dumping problem 20 years ago when he found the sky truth. we're nonprofit organization that uses satellite imagery to shine a spotlight on environmental issues around the world. and more precisely radar satellites, which 20 years ago, where a very new technology and we learned one of the things it's really good for, is detecting oil slicks out in the ocean companies where already using it to

discover oil deposits. when you fly the small oil slicks, it's always in the same place, is a clear sign that there's oil in the rock down there. a tables have turned in on those same images. it was regularly see these dark streaks on the water were not natural. that often had a big ship the vessel, the n. enter build, stumpy. and at the time, looking at those slicks, there was no way for us to identify the vessels that were responsible. it could take hours for the satellite to send an image. by the time the received the vessel was long gone, it was an extremely frustrating thing, but everything changed with a i s that is automatic identification system,

it's use is also required by international law. so that vessels can avoid running each other. ships are now required, made their position with a radio signal, satellites can pick up the signal and record the movement of every ship. you know, the exact time in the exact place from the satellite. and then we can find the broadcast, the match that most closely in space and time. and when we put it on the screen, we had a clear match of that of one track. clearly matching the path for this investigation. algorithms were trained to automatically recognize potential spills in one year. we found 1500 potential dams in you waters alone. the whole done this ways roughly equivalent to 5 times the $989.00 exxon valdez spiel. one of the worst marine environment, the even worse deaths,

a conservative estimate and even was hardly anybody knows about it in the even worse phases of deliberate practice. so why are we not holding companies accountable? there are other features on radar satellite imagery that can look like an oil flip . it could be caused by ships carrying fish, oil, vegetable oil, or by other element. it's not sufficient at this point in any courts of law that i'm aware of. but in combination with other things, it can be powerful accessory evidence to help make a legal case to be taken as proof. a visual confirmation must come from someone on the ground. hm. celina police lan here because we're having the german coast garden on one of the inspections that been how they should hello kept them nice to meet

you. we are, he had to carry out a marble inspection. with the bench water is collected down here a. 7 second and finally, the bids water passes through these ali water separator with an inspection is over a mo. so captain, that's the attachment both on spectrum all with no deficiencies for no problems

this time. but that doesn't mean builds dumping isn't happening. postcards, only inspect the fraction of the ships and only check those already docking a port. not the nicest my the dumping occurs, but there's some one else on the ground that can confirm what satellites reveal. someone who follows this ships wherever they go. whistle blowers. hello, a hello. how are you? i'm good little noise. how are you? i'm good. this is one of 5 whistleblowers we talked with. we decided to withhold his name to protect his identity. thanks to his description, we build a 3 d model of foul builds. dumping works, here's the bench tech, and here is the notorious build to pump. so what we did was to speed that pump transfers from the bench to another corner as the teen day. and i know those of us,

but the doctor stuck only clean liquid comes into it and be hot if you judge the contents of it. and here you have it bends dumping one to one, but there are positive developments. the new generation of radar imaging, satellites that are coming are going to have multi polar, multi frequency radar systems where we do have an ability to discriminate the type of material that's been discharged and will even be able to say something about the thickness doyle slick satellite technology is getting so much better that he could one day be enough to incriminate offenders until then we rely on whistleblowers to stop this practice. so unless so there is someone on

board, it got some without insight. there testimonies are crucial for investigations like this. but we shouldn't have to rely on their courage to protect our oceans. o illegal pollution, of course doesn't just happen out at sea. romania is a dumping ground for trash unlawfully shipped there from all over europe. it's a multi 1000000000. you're a business run by whist smugglers. but investigators are hot on their heels. this is an illegal landfill outside bucharest, last year. oak harvey, in baton, who was head commissioner of romanian, environmental guard, leading an investigation into arson at the site with the little problem other than a lot of garbage was burned here for 20 minutes. there was a lot of smaller bicycle to more far as like that and the south of good growth would be engulfed in smoke and stern. sure. this was apple quarters to me several

times in recent years at pollution in the romanian capital has exceeded e u. limits a 100 times over. heavy traffic is one cause, but so 2 is the illegal burning of waste. some of which it emerged comes from germany. last summer, romanian border police made a major discovery in the black sea port of constantia. more than 1800 tons of suspicious waste. it had been declared as plastic, but it also contained metal tires, batteries, and even carcinogenic asbestos. it's against a new law to miss label shipments and export. hazardous waste. we had to germany and europe's 3rd largest port, hamburg romanian authorities. and greenpeace have implicated a company based here in illegal waste shipments over the phone. the metal recycling company may law says it doesn't want to comment. it failed to respond to an

official press inquiry. we sent 10 days earlier, then suddenly the manager appears as you don't know, what we hear about illegal shipments from may low found in romania wheeler go. no, no, no, you're being prosecuted. therefore though i've met nonsense, it's been cleared up. it's a mistake. much would you like to say that on camera? i'm about. i'm not the right person to talk to. you are. that's why we called you the ones illustrated nama and no cameras. a few minutes later the manager acknowledges is aware of remaining investigation, but insists his company's waste shipments were legal. the vehicle. mm hm. i know the romanians are investigating, but they didn't analyze the shipment. they glanced at it and thought, oh, there's some cables and a circuit board in there with. but d, w has seen the reports compiled by romanian prosecutors and analysis by a german lab found that the shipment included undeclared toxic components. back in

romania we me talk to harvey in but channel at the landfill. again, he is no longer in uniform. he was fired. did his dismissal have to do with his efforts to stop trash smuggling the circuit thickly, morgan is up to go to school. this is organized crime, harder the showed are shifting ways from countries like germany or britain, britain, mars italy, but also from bulgaria and romania itself is the generic rural mutable good. it was, some of this waste has travelled thousands of kilometers to get here. the e commission says germany is a key market for waste smugglers. the hamburg case is just one of many under investigation by prosecutor tail danita. he says the problem isn't just dishonest business owners, but also corrupt politicians is village possible. so that only means le medalie, one minister's answer left me speechless. my focus on what you said. we tried to do

it because it would anger and the big cement producers watch him grow. stop until cassandra may have a strong lobby. god, i will not be dorsey be the potomac. he heads to the harbor for another inspection with us. i just got a call from the e. u. judicial authority on those, coordinating the case with germany and belgium. in romania charges have already been filed against the humbug based company, china band, the import of plastic waste in 2018. ever since western european countries have increasingly shipped their garbage to romania, bulgaria and poland. germany is considered a world leader in recycling and achievement. it seems that wouldn't be possible without its waste exports to eastern europe, governments and international organizations like interpol, have the power to bring west offenders to justice. but addressing environmental contamination on

a local level can yield results to. we have 2 examples from the north and the south of india, where women are the ones spearheading drives to clean up their communities. clean water for washing and drinking is something that has only recently done to the village of allan, thanks to local women. the pursuit had residence to meet regularly and clear the stream of plastic ways most have been dumped by judas tracking on your by glacier chris danielle, go, what did he sources are getting polluted if you get into white? so we're trying to keep the water clean in our village, all of us, including elders and children, take it as our responsibility to clean the street. i'm proud of doing it as long as i live in disability that i will keep the stream clean craft, aclu. alon is muscle in the mountains and the indian instead of genuine cush mean the stream is the locals, only source of fresh water to keep it clean. every household has built a septic,

then that's put a stop the open definition on the streams banks. allan let the weather benefit by letter, but i was either meliss. oh it is. that is possibility of every house will here to keep the village clean asked is the 1st village along the cause of the stream. it flows down to hundreds of other villages. so if we keep it clean, but others will follow to saturday, when i have our bonnet level, whether in the country or in the city in india, it's often vivian who start such initiatives, clean water and electricity, or red and poor neighborhoods. many people use kerosene lamps and cook on open fire, both of which can cause lung disease and both emit climate heater carbon dioxide locks me lives in an informal settlement in london, lou, a solar lamp chain to life. she started selling the lamps 3 years ago. the

income from running her own small business allowed her to move a family into an apartment now to have both the light and running water. my place, my children suffered a lot. i have 2 daughters and i used to have to ask them to wake up at by the in to take a bug before sunrise again. now we have other on my true that we can use whenever you want. they can do the ideally activities when it suits them best or leave the now missed bag with a blue. she says the lamps are an engine receives a percentage of each sale. the solar lamps cost between 11 and 33 years apiece. a steep price must be paid, but with the support of the social under prize ball in mid crew, locals can buy the lens on credit interest. free. lux me has convinced other women to switch to solar. mud him, us is the lamps have made a world of difference to her family. they my know but acted all that on

days we would run out of kerosene and had to be without like that till we could buy more somebody and back then we didn't even have mobile phones to use as flashlights . i guess we would cook and eat and live in darkness. to be honest, the solar lights haven't just let my home life did lit up my life. i'm doing that now. breaking them. so a lot of live in rural and urban communities demons, commitment to affect change despite limited means it's bringing benefits to their own life, to their neighborhoods and the environment to the west and for you should be create on earth is not going anywhere. we don't have a planet be to send this to as each one of us takes action counter this to be a future generations can be assured that they will have access to a clean, green and

a healthy planet. i'll leave you with that and see you again next week. good bye. and thanks for watching. ah, i with with,

ah, ah, a knowledge of everything for everyone. that's wikipedia. it uses the general public's intelligence, allegedly but in reality, only around one 100000 people writes the articles, read by 4000000000 users. who are the authors, and whose interests are behind worldwide wikipedia. in 15 minutes

on d, w. last fashion as an environmental mm. a closing graveyard, mitchell and desert. this is where things were being industrial nations no longer need an external waste. get stranded about the fun in the global fashion industry. close on 90 minutes on d w. ah . mm. hello guys. this is the 77 percent. the platform with issues and share ideas. you know all these channels,

we are not afraid to dedicate young people clearly have the solution good future with the 77 percent. every weekend on d. w. welcome to the dark side where intelligence agencies are pulling the strings. there was a before 911 and after 911, he says after 911, the clubs came off. where organized crime rules were conglomerates meet their own laws? what's true, what's big? it doesn't matter. the only criteria is what we'll hook people. we shed light on the opaque world who's behind the benefits. and why are they a threat to us all?

oh, peak world. this week on d w ah ah, this is the w slide from berlin. germany pledge is new weapons for ukraine jobs. so all of shaw says berlin will provide teeth with modern anti aircraft missiles and radar systems in its war against russia. speaking in parliament, sholtes defends his government policies, from opposition, criticism that it is not doing in the us also announces new weapons for you. crime .
