and this is comb, busing, food waste in indonesia they're spending k will have those stories and we'll see you after a short break. and god else's will be here at the top of the next hour with another nice round up for you. and you can see mckinnon. thanks so much thing with us. have a lovely day. the imagine how many pushed us are now in the world climate change. the story faces much less the way from just one week. how much was going to really get we still have time to act. i'm going to like this the

what i have to say matters to us the that's why i listen to their stories. the reporter, every weekend on d w, the ws. a shock coming up today, japan still pushing about radioactive water release plan gets a start date. beginning 1st day of japan will start to release radioactive water from a damaged nuclear plant into the pacific olsen. but how will this be done? and what about the opposition to this plan? wait until killed, clear answers. plus reducing food waste in the country, notorious for throwing over a huge amount of food products funding defaults from indonesia. the.

the i finished manager. welcome to the the news aisha. glad you could join us starting thursday, japan would begin releasing treated to redirect a water from a damaged nuclear power plant into the ocean. difficult, she meant died to nuclear power plant was damaged in a deadly creek. and so now me back in 2011. since then, tons of water has been used to pull the nuclear fuel rods inside starting thursday, some 1300000 liters of this water will begin to be released into the pacific ocean . the water will be treated and radioactive substances abiding $1.00 to $2.00 m. removed japan soon as the water release is needed to decommission the plant international atomic energy agency on the i a year greenlighted the water release

plan last month. and this is how people in tokyo react to the announcement. the plan would now be implemented from thursday. yeah, i know. yeah, i'm glad to take was finally decided i know talks where i'm going to set the water release for summer prime minister cuz she to finally visited for christina to explain the situation to the locals. so this will be a big step towards fukushima, is the commissioning process in the i e. m. many countries say that water relieves a safe, so i believe it is nothing but the fishermen are facing so many problems. the japanese government needs to do something to convince the room on the, on the i think the water relieves this, ok. it's radiation levels are measured and meet the standardized neighboring countries like south korea and china are protesting. but they are releasing

contaminated water at the high level to so i don't think it's fair that they are protesting. but i left that modem this from john, this sonya of loss code, drug me from tokyo. sonya, how will this water be released? i mean, what is the process that's going to be followed that's, that's called a company that's runs the power plant has been trying to install a system that removes contaminated isotopes from the water. it's had, it's has had some success along the way. also some issues, some leakages, but it has managed to remove the majority of those contaminated isotopes and the plan is now to dilute that water further before it will be pumped into the ocean. how much opposition has, has there been to this plan within japan itself? someone could think that that could have been or sort of been maybe more of

a position, but i'm looking back. um it's not anywhere near um, you know, you can't really compare it to the situation. right. aust, as it is awesome, most people have moved on the people mainly affected and ceiling. this now obviously the fisherman and the region and also active as they are still campaigning against this release. but the majority of the population kind of notices them use, but that's about it. all right, and i do want to talk to about the fisherman and the, and the, and the issues that they have, again about this plan. but that goes to the very heart of the problem that has been made clear, at least by fishermen and activism. that is the issue of the safety of the water. is this water save? well, the government says it is also the united nations watch. talk the i a, a says it's safe. it's actually something that's being done around the world and

all the nuclear plants and japan to stay below those levels. still that have been so many blunders and lies in the past. so i think really the, the trust in what the government says has been eroded quite a bit. and also some scientists say that while it's not contaminated enough or low strong enough to, to penetrate a human being skin. if it's an i'm interested, there is some, some cancer risk they say. so yeah, it's a tricky one. so what does the japanese government been doing to lay people's fios and concerns? i mean there's been doing information and sessions, given explanations, made lots of appeals, but a so often they basically throw money at the problem. so, so they've even locked around $500000000.00 to, to use for campaigns to reduce the reputational damage to the fisherman. and also

to support them in case there's something some issue, you know, in case they cannot sell the fish and so on. but that is already built possibility, isn't that because hong kong has now announced import controls on japanese food products. and therefore, the question is, what is that? what is the impact of those import control is going to be on japanese c for the exports. yes indeed, hong kong has already reacted in a, in a less than positive way. and china has done the same of those countries by a lot of sea food or in the past used to buy a lot of sea food from japan in the past months. there's already been the reduction of about 30 percent and a lot of the c for the japan produces is actually it actually has its major market outside of japan, a certain things like c squared, for example, the amazing delicacies in other asian markets. so these could be very much effective, but to find a way to have experience with this because it means you pay off of that as often in

2011. these were the same concerns that produced by japanese fishermen. however, the japanese officially industry den with it all this fine they've been trying to make appeals. they've been trying to, to lobby on behalf of the fishermen for a long time. there's only been scientific fishing directly in the for pushing my region. but i think now that's the situation to sort of calm down. they are opening the books again and we might see or the system and actually might see some similar results compared to 12 years ago. squarely leave it there for the time being. but thank you so much for joining us for those updates from tokyo sonya of last year. thank you so much. you're welcome. hong kong is defined the 2nd largest market off to china. so agricultural and fisheries exports. but it isn't just japanese fishermen who might seem to pinch off any import restrictions from

the country. restaurant owners in hong kong awarded that the government's decision to activate import tubs, could leave them facing an uncertain future. at this hong kong restaurants, fish is the speciality. trouble is these menu main stays all, come from japan and with a band on some impulse leaving. that could mean cutbacks can go, i don't think that will help if the band covers the food products transiting via tokyo. by then we might have to source our supply from other places. they don't, haven't gone with like a socket. come want to come directly to hong kong lightly. conversely, with the 4, we'll put less c food on the menu lawyer. we'll still use meat and vegetables from japan for last month. so hong kong government said that any button would apply to aquatic products from tokyo and separate other japanese regions. not just focus

cima in passing input, supply refrigerated, unfrozen goods, as well as some dried products, including sea, salt and sea waves. and customers here seem pretty happy with the decision. uh, you know, all of that whole, i believe the hong kong government should have very strict control over the input to see food. so if the worried about the say that will conduct a lot of these things and bend on same problem management. and so those that are not bend i'm, i believe they're run through star testing and the government to show that they're not harmful to humans before the import. i believe japanese food and hong kong is not going to cause price issues. that customer confidence may now be key to the restaurants like this and home comb with the oven. if failing, the band could take a big slice out of his business and leave him facing significant losses.

indonesia has a big for the waste problem. one investigation found that in the period from 2000 to 2019, for instance, invitations threw away some 115 to a 184 chinos afford, per capita the yeah, there are regulations in place now to reduce the spot enterprising solutions are already in the market to try and solve the problem. dusty, gloating. one of the easiest and most popular these just, i'm sorry i money. i sleep deep into being a set by daily reality and restaurants throughout the country. as much as 40 percent of the police in the country, east foot from retailers for surfaces as well as households. according to research from the battery, less than 3 or 4 foot and it's ration indonesia is the 3rd largest for the way sir into work. but change will not be easy. so we're not asking about regarding the

waste management and hotels. the most important thing is obviously that nothing is wasted by safety, the kind of thing, but sometimes it can be avoided. we know using that i've done, you know, a surplus application which at least allows us to reduce food waste. yeah. on the log in. and then you know what ways unbundle exist, restaurant now sales. it offers folks to using the surplus at the f sales, excess fluid from restaurants, hotels, supermarkets and even farms at a minimum, 50 percent discount sellers to lease their surplus foot on the app about 3 hours before closing the foot is either pick up directly or send via career to the buyer to i'll see if this in indonesia have already introduced the app a little bit about this. i'm wondering what i guess on the so 80 percent of potential food waste can be reduced and turned into revenue. but the goal is that those we use a rap to not lose the money due to over stock. but every year,

millions of tons of foot still end up being thrown away in a country where many children of my know is the government has only just started to grapple with the issue. but then i can, the legislation has just been drafted to regulate this food waste with we seem to be once at that uh, we have committed that this will be completed by 2024 and then going to vote. security issues should be a concern for the government. absolutely. so there's no regulation, you know, but in that, nicholas and that's what i need for the one to in the meantime, the government plans to use leaders off and then each yes, 6 religions as messengers and it's getting paid to a to use with ways they have been asked to address ways to avoid the ways at neighborhood getaways and in their segments a stop gap measure for the moment that the government hopes so have long good. some solutions in place of it comes out does have such a day,
