chronic air pollution as fog season approaches. we look at the latest efforts to help locals breathe easier this year. plus a project in taiwan to get organic greens, to commuters, on the go to buy, building vertical gardens in the subway. ah, i melissa chan, thanks for joining us. fancy yachts are common in hong kong, but once super yacht bobbing in the waters there has raised eyebrows. the vessel is believed to be owned by russian oligarch, alexi moore, to shock he's been sanctioned by western governments after russia started its war on ukraine. and leaders of these countries are concerned that if hong kong doesn't seize the yacht, the territory will become a safe haven for russians evading sanctions. this yacht is p o

luxury to help pads, a swimming pool and a waterfall. it's all in those. the 500000000 dollar node has been anchored in hong kong water over a week after its journey from russia. the yacht belongs to russian oligarch, alex, the motor shop, who was sanctioned by the u. s. the u. k. and the e. u. after russia invaded ukraine, he has time the law to be put in over a dozen super yours owned by russians have been seized in the last month, including mortar shops, lady m, in italy, back in march. the u. s. is building hong kong authorities to also take action the possible use of hong kong as a safe haven, bye individuals evading sanctions from multiple jurisdictions. further calls into question the transparency of the business environment. but hong kong said there is no legal basis to face known. it would be different if it was the un that had sanctioned waters off. we will comply with any united nations

resolution on sanction. because hong kong has the legal basis to enforce it. and we will comply with united nations sanctions. that is our, our system. that is our real law. we cannot do, and we will not do anything that has no legal basis. russians have been fleeing west on sanctions by docking the yachts near countries that continue to have diplomatic ties with them, like turkey, the furious that hong kong to have joined the ranks. we have journalist phoebe con, joining us from hong kong. phoebe, what's the story with the super? yeah, i mean, does it want to stay long term in hong kong, or is it just passing through? well that remains, the biggest mysteries are so fi that is the biggest questions that f in the want to want to know that that originally of the super yard was reportedly heading to viet

nam from russia in late september. but unexpectedly ended up on talking in hong kong here in hong kong waters and on but according to the official protocol there marine department in hong kong and has 2 records every ship's entry and had parked and departure in and out hong kong water. so up beyond doubt, the super yard got they permission from the hong kong government when they arrived in hong kong waters. but according to public records, there is no clear sign of how long he was staying hunk on what has and, and, and more essentially the purpose of his arrival. so that remains one of the most like, closely watched points among observers. now hancock's leader, john lee says there's quote, no legal basis she sees the yacht. so what is hancock's position on international sanctions? it seems to be saying something there existing laws in hong

kong requiring the hong kong government to enforce united nations sanctions. so which is the, the, essentially the legal basis to which john lee is referring when he talked about that hong kong is not going to follow up like other unilateral sanctions imposed by other jurisdictions. the hong kong is only up to 2 is only to follow the end united nations sanctions. that is what the government's ends are right now. but actually the, the, the government and this will society as a horn. hong kong is caught in the dilemma r regarding this incident out because like this a per yachts is actually not that welcomed by a business as are including low co and international businesses and even political sectors. because hong kong has been on, hasn't been involved in they are ukraine, russia war tension since the war started and so on. the government is trying to all keep the incident low profile. but what has changed and certainly is that now the

government is a light opening on say a kind of the rhetoric site is not going to follow the u. s. sanctions. i obviously the attitude has changed because of the worsening relationship with a blessed. now i'm curious, i mean, i understand hong kong has pretty strict quarantine and tree rules. it's changing, but since the war on ukraine has the city seen an uptick of se, russian ex pats to hong kong and also russian investments. i'm not quite sure how the sanctions work there one time, so stay at our we haven't seen like a very pretty. it's a, they're all the, it's a search in a capital and our personnel over the past few months since the war began. but on the, the inches like, do increase like according to some law, friends in hong kong and some of financial like deal as a hong kong. they sat, the,

the more and more russian companies are inquiring on the, about how to move the at says, all she, if that accompanies or to raise capitalist in hong kong. because they regard hong kong as a rather on like saver shelter compared to other international financial hub. but, but that also is a, is not really easy to, to realize we, we can say is perfectly read it difficult because it is facing like a sat back from, from the local financial saying that they worry about. like if hong kong cooperates with russian companies that will like albert, hong kong to i've heard economic downturn got it. phoebe com, thanks so much for joining us. ah, winter is rapidly approaching in india and with the colder months come smog season in the capital deli, a toxic cocktail, a vehicle exhaust fumes,
