12:05 pm
a little bit more also about how authorities have been reacting to the protest and how that reaction has been evolving. yes, so last night he and beijing, for example, the reaction was rather cautious. a got the feeling that there were little bit am waiting to see how it develops into protest. you were peaceful. there were very critical. i also against the government, but what they did not do is they were not directly criticizing, seizing pinging or demanding to that for him to step down. that happened in shanghai and, you know, that had huge consequences. there were a lot of arrests, actually. and also today there were arrests and even, you know, one or foreign corresponded. foreign journalist was arrested and even, you know, physically harassed and but he has a british passport a. so he got a free and released after several hours. a chinese don't have that protection. i am sure are many of those who are protesting within the group our where political slogans are shouted. they faced several years in prison. that is really
12:06 pm
a very great risk. tell us a little bit more about the potential repercussions that you've highlighted there. yes, i mean you, you don't have a rule of law here. so basically if the police takes away them, i mean, it happens that you know, especially for human rights or, and quote unquote crimes that people just disappear for several years. so am, i mean, you definitely don't have a legal protection if you are in a political protest and basically you could be sued for, am no subversion or provoking a trouble or always quote unquote. but i mean, basically the state can just look you up and this is not only for short time, it can really be for mid my very many years. patheon questionnaire in beijing. thank you. and germany's president has given his reaction to the protest, let's listen v i live in on, on snow her. we all remember our own fight against the corona virus against the pandemic. and we still remember how much of
12:07 pm
a burden that was for many in germany the could. nora can only imagine how great the burden is for people in china. where the measures are much stricter, have been in place much longer and are still being and forces devising on december 1st and the severe this. that's why i understand that people are expressing the impatience and their grievances on the streets. and as the democrats, i can only say that freedom of expression is an important public goods. and i can only connect what we are seeing with the hope that the state authorities in china respect the right to freedom of expression, freedom to protest, to find my notes along that. and of course, i hope that the demonstrations remain peaceful. thus did the monster to inflict blood and has a look at from other stories making news around the world. in his nightly interests, ukraine's president volota mayor zalinski has accused russia of planning new

12:11 pm
well the the amount of ok that's our correspondent plays young. joining us now with the you from cameron and apologies for the difficulties with the line. there were move on to some other news now because iran has rested some 14000 people in its brutal crack down on protests over the past 2 months. according to you and figures. sharon says that more than 40 foreign nationals are among them . in many cases, western diplomats are refused access to their citizens. police have repeatedly opened fire on protesters across the country. the united nations is considering whether to launch an international investigation into the crackdown. the protests were triggered in september by the death in police custody of 22 year old massa needy,
12:12 pm
who was arrested for wearing her head scarf too loosely. let's bring in, mary, i'm clear and since october of 2020 her mother now he'd ta body has been imprisoned in iran and she joins us now. your mother has been detained for more than 2 years now. how is she? hello, and 1st of all, i want to salute the break people off iran and announced my solidarity. and my mom is right now at the women being of notorious evan prison. she was recently on medical for law, but despite not completing medical treatment, she was brought back to evan prison on november 13. and this came up of the relationship between germany and they slamming republic. i'll be around escalated and because my mom is a germans citizen. but tell us a little bit more about that dual citizenship because as he mentioned,
12:13 pm
she is german. iranian, how does that help or hurt her case? and unfortunately, they slam with, with public oberon has a long history in using do all foreign nationals as bargaining chips in negotiation with the other country. in our case, this is germany. so and since my mom has a do us citizen shit and iran says they do not recognize their german cities then ship. so she has no counsellor, i've says the german authorities been not able to attend her. try that. on the other hand, when it comes to their benefits and they want to negotiate, they use the do all and foreign national to get some kind of things from the best and government. this can be some business and
12:14 pm
a relation that gets better are in some cases we saw prisoner swaps or even money. it has been paid for the prisoners. so what do you think you know, has happening or is happening now to those 40 foreigners who have been reportedly arrested during protest. given what you know from the experience with your mother? first of all, let me say clear that i think we should always see the big picture because as you mentioned before, i start speaking more than 40000 people have been arrested. but it's very concerning death more than 40 foreign or do i nationalists and has been arrested during this time because this means said they slamming republic of iran is and preparing new hostage cases. and i don't know if they are going to and hold them all, but i'm sure that and they are not going to be freed without any negotiation.
12:15 pm
and i think what we saw in the case of my mother, and in the case of other dwell, national or foreign nationals, is that they are always been treated more security in for example. and they were never get out of bed and 2 of before they go to their trial, they have all very long solitary confinement. and in the while serving their sentences, they are always something like special prisoners. and for example, when there was the fire in evan prison on october 15, and the american citizens and web brought to another place immediately after the fire broke out. so this shows us that they have much value for these la mic republic of iran. and that also show us that it's not only
12:16 pm
a thing between the prisoner and these limit republic of iran. and there is, the western governments are responsible to because the plight of the foreign and blood national prisoners is very much connected to the relationship to the less than government where the prisoners from to given all of that. what is your message now to the international community? i think that it is very important and that the international community shows their solidarity with the people of iran. we are now witnessing a very strong movement. some people call it a revolution in iran. and, and i think it's important to stay by the people of iran to and then, and of course, and the current situation may be bad for the foreign or do i nationalism. as i said, my mother was brought back to evan prison, 24 hours after our german chancellor did
12:17 pm
a statement on iran. and i think and it is more important to get iran free. and when iran is free, i think the dwaa are a nationalist, would be free to well, thank you so much for joining us, miriam clarence, for joining us with that message. and also for telling us about your mother's case . we very much appreciate it. thank you for many people that it's hard to imagine modern life without plastic, but while it used it's uses are endless. we also know that it's polluting our planet. that is why delegates from around the world are meeting in uruguay with their site set on an internationally binding treaty to help win the world off of its addiction. titles, getting dangerously close to plastic bags an image that has become symbolic of the world's plastic problem. and one that world lead and so hoping to put to rest negotiate is from across the globe, a meeting this week to work on a legally binding agreement that is hoped will come plastic pollution including
12:18 pm
that found in the ocean. plastic as a material and the pollutant is totally trans boundaries in the last couple of years. that's been this growing recognition that we need to have something at the global level, some kind of policy instrument that's going to re capture the whole plastic lifecycle. plastic is an extremely versatile material. it's used packaged food to make fabrics for our clothes. and it's used in our cosmetics and beyond. while plastic was made in relatively small amounts in the 1950s production has increased exponentially. and 201300 1000000 tons of plastic were produced to day that has grown to 400000000 tons every year. but it is also highly polluting, plastic accumulates as litter nature. much of it ends up in landfills. micro plastics or major cells concern plastic is broken into small pieces becoming micro
12:19 pm
plastics. they come from rubber tires and washing synthetic fibers. they have been found in the deepest section of the ocean in animals and even in human blood. recycling has long been proposed as the solution to plastic pollution companies market products on the basis that that made from recycle plastic or can be recycled . but only around 9 percent of plastic worldwide is recycled. it were standing in the face of years of failed voluntary commitments. you know, the major, the major multinational companies that set targets for improving recycle ability for reducing the amount of plastic they use up. there's absolutely no accountability to any kind of legal frame. what nations have pledged to reach an agreement on plastic by 2024. only time will tell whether it will be successful or just mo plastic promises. and let's get more with that. we are joined in the studio by louise osborne from d. w's, environment desk. you heard her there in that piece i. she's joining us now to share a little bit more about this. why is the world to having such
12:20 pm
a problem turning away from plastic? well, let's face that. it's just so useful. it's um, difficult find a real alternative to, to use instead of it. i mean we use it to keep our food fresh for our clothes for everything. um, but we really do need to find a way to we nar, selves of it to some degree, because it's a huge contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, for example, it produce a 3.4 percent of global carbon emissions. and that to double by 2060 so it's something that we really need to get away from. not only for nature and the way that it looks and everything but also to me on climate goals. so how about just recycling it using alternatives also all i mean, but where did those options come in? well, actually it's a lot more difficult to recycle than you might think. it's also more expensive, so it's at the moment, easier for and cheaper for companies to use new plastic than it is for them to
12:21 pm
recycle. which is obviously something that needs to be moved away from. and there is no incentive than for companies to use recycle plastics. although a lot of companies say that they are doing that and trying to move towards that. we've seen that a lot of it is green washing unfortunately. and there's also the infrastructure isn't not in place in some places, and it's confusing. i mean, here in germany for example, we recycle plastic. but not plastics can be recycled and knowing what you can do and, and where is, is a way so difficult how to governments and regular is come in here. and that, so the, the governments that, you know, they could do something like binding plastic altogether. and you know, in europe that has been done to some extent a single use. plastics have been banned in europe for example. but it's, it's not always so easy. um they will be talking about whether there is the
12:22 pm
possibility of banning new plastics. for example, as part of the talks that are taking place and financing is also going to be an issue. just like with the climate talks we'll have to look at how are they will have to look at how developing countries can afford to get rid of their plastic problems. and also find are the ways to move forward. and but, you know, if, if these talks go on the way that they're supposed to, an agreement could be as historic as the paras climate agreement or, or that's what's being said to anyway. ok, well that's the hope certainly for, for those who care about this issue, louise osborne, from d. w, environment, dest. thank you so much. ah, a sports news for you now at the world cup in katara, germany restored some pride after their defeat to japan by drawing 11 with spain and group e, but they still need to win their last game against costa rica to have any chance of
12:23 pm
qualifying for the knockout stage, spain so dare intent in this game right from the start. danny. oh mo, coming close, 7 minutes in. but manuel noir in gold and the crossbow both came to germany's rescue. has he flicks i looked most dangerous from set pieces, but sadly for then antonia roodick, as header was rude out for off site. the mountains fine between success and failure into the 2nd half in spain drew 1st blot out. barbosa had only been on the field 8 minutes. a typical poaching finished from him as it inspired substitution by spain coach luis enrique. but anything he can do flit can to his super sub strike had nicholas full crooked, smashed in germany's equalize. it was 7 minutes to go. raymond's full cred repaying flake and bucket loads for his call up to the squad relief then for the coach will be hoping this doesn't turn out to be
12:24 pm
a temporary reprieve. and nancy that he spoke to germany, fans, and could tar after that nail biting match with many not satisfied after the $11.00 . draw. i have mixed feelings though. i don't know, should i be happy because we're down 10. i'm pretty much our the tournament or should i be sad because i feel like we try to try to score in the last minute of them or get something from chances a score. now we i have to beat costa rica. now we have to figure out a way to get a lucky, i guess because of jap roger bandwidth. then we have no chance without efficiency, efficiency, they just need to score. i mean, for example, who's yellow, perfect dribbling, but he just needs to score. so if they do it, then they will just go one goal. they will do $34.00 goals. yeah, actually i'm quite relieved like it was what disappointing 1st match could believe that we lose another. so some hope and there was a big shocking group asked where morocco belgium to nil,
