4:31 am
on sort it in some countries in eastern and southern europe, this type of disposal is still widespread. romania is ranked among the was worst member states for waste recycling, a lot of garbage and recycle of material is thrown together before it even arrives at the landfill. this violates the standards of the european union, which has given money to romania for proper waste management. this includes the construction of a modern landfill in inclusion of pocket, but a reporter discovered that millions in e u funding has failed to clean up the problem. a romanian landfill site full of unsorted waste financed with money from the european union. this was supposed to be a modern, environmentally friendly waste to replace the older illegal landfill site near the
4:32 am
city of pollution. i forgot that had been an eyesore for decades. the new landfill opened after much delay, but not much seems to have improved. on sorted garbage is still dumped here, nothing is recycled, harmful practice fencing and legal and the you. we want to find out what went wrong here. in a residential area, we looked at the start of the waste change in the 1st impression. this means that there are different bins for different waste. okay, you guys recycle your way. sometimes sometimes this was sometimes he doesn't make sense because the same car is taking the garbage. so if it is not actually recycling, there's one called the phone to pick everything. and then it happens before our very eyes. the sign on the truck reads today we collect paper,
4:33 am
but they also taking everything else from all the bins, the use this an isolated case or if it's a stomach we mentioned our code is going to works in the waste industry is also inactive us and keeps track of what clues just waste collectors aren't doing the so what's happening now again are different types of is right? yes. yes. i think they are me think oh is or they'll be yes. unplugged romania recycling skills, 14 percent of its municipal waste compared to the average of 49 percent of the
4:34 am
moment blocks was yes, semis, lifestyle recyclable, it's a more expensive to collect the mixed waste. they show we're not mistakes or there's no incentive to collect them separately. for like a fit body with shown dakota, shirley, and 3 other environmental activist. i watched drone footage of the new waste plant . the activists are concerned that the site is filling up faster than it should with on sorted waste look which is illegal in the elizabeth thing. this is not a moment or a mistake. this is a structure, as you can see from the area that these covered with non treated non sorted garbage . most of them with the area they don't treat, don't sort just dump it there. that it's, it's so obvious. from 2014 to 2020 the you spent
4:35 am
318000000 euro, subsidizing waste management in romania, 40000000 inclusion alone. we want to speak with the people responsible for waste collection here. but neither the waste company nor the romanian ministry of european investments. reply to our inquiry the local waste management association does however, tell us in writing the bill and post penalties if there are deficiencies. the district council here is responsible for implementing the project. we met with the spokes person we observed that and precious did not being recycled and not collected separate and includes. and this is one of the main boards of european waste management stuff. and that's, so am i you as the jewish county, i'm not concerned about this. probably pigs use the boss. there may be some
4:36 am
isolated problems start to close it. i tell you as a citizen that it's definitely not a systematic problem for new cartridge. at the time, no one up here is willing to acknowledge the waste problem here. so we had to brussels to ask what the you commission, which financed much of remaining as a waste disposal system is doing about this, opened up the whole country. the commission does not manage projects, we do not follow each separate project. we have under equation policy, the previous peers, 1500000 projects on more than 1500000 projects funded by equation policy. and these are all managed by the number of states back in romania. no one seems to feel responsible as much to the dismay of each funds to college. as long as europe is happy with the the s and they are and they have been and they would be, would remain nearly and have no problem in producing more nice looking video. we
4:37 am
couldn't find out who is to blame for callous inclusion. but maybe that's the root of the problem in the tangle of european projects. everyone wants a piece of the pie, but it seems no one wants to take full responsibility for the waste or from where the money is going to. what's your needs concerning waste is a rethink, says alicia test the and she can back up her words with actions. her family business in the fashion powerhouse of italy is committed to recycling and she is not alone there in tuscany, around the city of title, many tech. so companies create new from old, with proud to quickly becoming the pairs of sustainable fashion. fist used closing been could be in almost any european city, but no matter where it's located, chances are the closing will end up in prod. so it's in the the world takes the recycling capital around $150.00 of the $7000.00 text
4:38 am
companies here are involved. and recycling use close from germany, austria and switzerland, and up at salvatore. run gino's warehouse. she found that she could make i loved you. this is where we separate. what comes in. we separate t shirts. pants, children's clothing sweaters, and jackets. according to season on a winter or summer is steve enough. the resales 2 thirds of the clothing, mostly to africa. and each i tessie who works next door takes the last 3rd or finally business has been turning us close into yarn and fabric for 4 generations to $10.00 at hi. how's it going to be great in the material? yeah, it's all pretty good. one great. and then the magic begins in the end, the discarded scraps will become you yarn and wo, it's
4:39 am
a complex process that starts here in the table. and one solar goal is to restore the young to its original color as soon as we separate the colors. and then the machine turns the racks into a tiny define proposed scratching my head out. that way we were to the original color without to kind of code eyes that chemical ties are only one of the problems of today's textile industry. worldwide 20 percent of water pollution comes from dying on finishing fabrics. that's another reason why recycling used clothing is so important. the material then goes to and washing plans where it's shredded and turns back into rule material. company processes up to $25.00 tons of fabric per day. the final product as these fluffy fibers. the material has been dried and now has the moisture content of the
4:40 am
original fi button. now it's ready to be packaged. and so those funds, the on the recycling process continues in a nearby factory. the fibers are turned into yarn and then fabric. every european buys, on average, $26.00 kilo's of textiles per year. most eventually ends up as landfill. for dietrie, it's a terrible waste. we're trying to do us small part here. of course, if the fashion industry follow down lead, we could accomplish that much more. it's hard to believe so 21 percent of all used clothing in the world is recycled and 15 percent of that one percent is recycled? here in pa, a tool. yes, some of the contribution here in protest textile district is important to his father as president of utilities tech style recycling association. but he says
4:41 am
we're cycled fabrics can be the only solution, not for simulate dollar g for data, but at the moment we can't satisfy the level industrial and consumer demand with 100 percent recycled materials event. no, that goes to my go to the gospel account. okay. we have to do now is make it clear how important it is to move more and more in the direction of recycling. you know, mean thing, can we mean todd young dot it, they love it as soon as they receive that also means encouraging. young designers like students from a fashion academy to use recycled textiles from prato for the creations and central products. so the roof start off is already selling recycled design or fashion around the world. nicolo, jeffrey. and his goal is to bring together our, to his new methods, sustainable fashion and the principles of a circular economy with the amount of general consent to people that we're seeing that more and more people are interested in these issues and are willing to buy
4:42 am
less clothing but spend more on quality that remain on the opposite assessed fashion, which is what we have until just a few years ago that so that was all about low price of the style in buying new clothes. more often got the same thing. we live, we spend people home are comfortable, people like nicolo, and the leech. we are showing. the sustainable fashion is more than just the dream . more places like proud, so all over the world can help make it's a reality. a delia from latin america came to spain with a dream sending sufficient money back home to support her children. but her dream turned into a nightmare. she now works as an in turn, not in madrid, in turn of a workers who takes care of the household and live with their employers, like all pairs. often they are without any papers such as a residence permit, which makes them even more vulnerable. the spanish government has introduced stricter laws bugs despite that. people like delia continue to be abused for

upscale neighborhoods of mentor, it is to give us so long as you'd like. every single cook and cleaning everything wrong. cool, 24 hours a day. this cancel starts and then finish may not be at this domestic workers association. carlos here on is the tech person 5. she's not above doing the cleaning. she too has worked as an antenna in the past. now with the association, she supports the workers' rights because many don't even get the designated minimum wage for their work. $1080.00 euros a month, migrants for that residency, right? so often shamelessly exploited display to move. this is more than slavery because they don't pay use and legal minimum and then your rights get me from hold on. just because you don't have papacy law and dental when you complain that the employer
4:45 am
says, why should i pay you buy the books when you don't even have paperless? good step. that way. if i look into a late c sleep up in the stillness daily often comes by the association. 17 years ago she came to spain from paraguay to en money for her family. the biggest burden is the separation from her children. son was 10 at the time. her daughter 15 because they don't have it in the, in the homeowners associates lesson for awhile. i left my children in paraguay of new york. and now i'm here for other people's children. even want to close up on the news. i've missed a lot of things on my daughter's wedding to both of my full grandchildren. my father's death full of the thing is to keep the family together assignment that'd be total for the media. if ideally gets help from the association psychologist, anna camacho thinks the extreme living situation of the antennas is dangerous. they
4:46 am
can be frustration and depression, even the loss of one's own identity. the last that on the hand to allow you up when you are in the city, julia, the boundaries between your truly been and working life, but it's not blood. uh, going through this hurry up there. so i'm not saving. yeah. well, no money to your privacy and personal development, but i'm determined to fight mothers, both really low of the spanish authorities once to end the precarious situation. they've imposed contracts with the minimum rest periods. and you decree now, grant unemployment benefits to domestic workers. but in reality, domestic work is hard to monitor. family was the reason daily, a less powerful way to work as an antenna. 70 years later around, children are practically strangers to make an idea. i mean, i wouldn't do it again. how come will say i will try to stay in my country and somehow take care of my children that but at least i'd be with them for gas out
4:47 am
today, or i have no hope of winning back then. no fee. daily a is still proud that her work has enabled, had children to get an education, but it's being a high price to pay for more than 20 years ago, part you go to criminalize the consumption of all types of drugs in the coastal city or porto. and other parts of the country, it's mainly those who deal in drugs who have to face legal consequences. well, experts hailed a step as a role model for other countries. porter residents like this, daniel silva have a different view. he's unhappy about how addicts are getting high in his neighborhood. often with the police seemingly powerless. charlton foil discarded bits of syringes and lodge own evidence of drug use in the streets and punks of points. christiano silver sees it every day. he lives in
4:48 am
portugal, 2nd largest city in a middle class neighborhood. it's also a hang out for the drug that's above and it's disrespectful to the rest of the society or they're using open lane street. and if it's gonna be, yeah, if you don't like it, you have to cross the street and you have much luck. and if you say it's not ok, they get aggressive, difficult. that's something for them i've, you'll end point you called the criminalized all narcotics in 2001. no matter how dangerous anyone founding possession of less than 10 day supply. now just going to fine, only dealers go to jail. we're on the road with police trade unionist who co maria, this is a drug dealing area is a bit of a he is in the back there is there meetings, warranty and it's better to avoid it because they can get lost by what keep within
4:49 am
seeking that i hated dealing is still prohibited. most drunk trains i made behind closed doors. want outdoor consumption isn't allowed. it really has legal consequences. it really mackey is game since we're no longer allowed to ramp consumers. and the problem is we come across more and more, which way seems like this was not all the police have had their hands tied together with the new face that as soon as i saw for a few of those who can call to offer therapy and drug centers like this one was supposed to drawers, uses off the streets, but this is the only one in order of pull to show outcomes a daily to smoke, a comp time of heroin and cocaine, under supervision of the over 2 months. so we're human beings will sick some addicted to drugs. so we need a lot of houses we'll examine. we do a psychologist, deanna,
4:50 am
castro is proud of particles drunk law. she says it's a way to entice those affected to the shadows. after all, there are fewer drunk dance now, when the pianist and coastal mo, cleaning are the saddle. when drug used as a crime, who's the attic stay hidden off the social radar? no, no. they don't accept treatment offers. simply because they're viewed as criminals, some quasi value, excuse me, not as people in need of health and that can assist you from there for you this out . but that's clearly a lack of treatment surfaces. critics fit for public safety. it's an untenable state of affairs for put, treat, see a rep as old cheese the district map of ramon to want to point out his problem neighborhoods sold the meals on either side. this feeling of fear at the task of turning around and looking to see if someone will be hind you towards you. it's unacceptable for the full force, please. yeah,
4:51 am
we need more police as we see more patrols on the street. the less who wish the police you and you know, also calling for top emissions the we're doing our job doing our rounds. yes. let me open but if there are no consequences, difficult. i think we use the facility that takes the users and forces them to accept the treatment. i mean, so my facility with enough resources and professionals to care for their knowledge where they're not gonna bring on an individual. often more than 20 years of liberal and drunk policies, it is time to act says residents, christiano, silver, caring for addicts is all very well, but not at the expense of protecting the population. easily. 2 it all leads to a sense that they can do what they like with impunity. people then it's a pretty dangerous spiral. yes. so scholars is less than familiar. awesome things settled down a bad thing. christiano is neighborhood after
4:52 am
a big police operation. but some of the drugs seem just move to another part of town, something that clearly doesn't solve portez problem. a single post on social media has the power to change lives and happen to assess you and yeah, cause born with down syndrome and online post sparked and you wave of solidarity and brief new life into the cafe where he works. it's in the above name, town of tools lab. the cafe is unique because it employs people with disabilities and they are devoted to their jobs. so when word spread, it was pacing closure. the community rallied of his job means everything to sasha as shown. you ok? he works almost every day at the clubs, me over search for dragons part club, cafe, and such. it has the heart of a fighter. he doesn't give up, even when the going gets tough to manage it so that it makes me so happy. i'm full
4:53 am
of joy, it's amy ma uh, put in. i love working here and i'll always love it. rolling that around the mall. that it up. i could work here 24 hours without a break to that i missed a few that his colleague board is presume of that you can't speak, but with definitely seconds that he even wanted to put a bed in the cafe. so he could spend the night there the 2 of them are fortunate. the cafe project is the only one of its kind. in bosnia you can see in their faces and the faces of their families. that the cafe is become like a 2nd home for them. causal, dominique, that's with me, as a parent said that they've never been happier. i suppose that was one of the
4:54 am
project was actually on the brink of failure. in the 1st few months, hardly any guests came. the cafe next door was full to the brim, but not so the dragon's heart. apart from edema offended jean it's the writer has known such as since childhood. she visits him in the cafe almost every day. one saturday, a few weeks ago she was the only guest an old man took a photo of her nissan. no, no, i didn't know mer took my picture. we were sitting there chatting and he said he was going to post that the club was closing at the end of the month. he said that i said, oh, come on, it doesn't have to come to that. and he said, we can survive this financially. macintosh like post them after post everything changed is that these pushes us at 1st the regional media reported on it. then it went nationwide. the news. and so suddenly we were full from morning till night to
4:55 am
the 4th. if this will not be the 1st 23 weeks, you couldn't get a table here for the business advisors on or perhaps some of them. yes. so it was a miracle they say, since then the calf has been doing great. the guests pile on the praise level. i'm glad you though. like coffee. i'm telling you this one of the best caches we need today. tidy, almost productively clean the trees and the service is tough glass. something was to go ahead and be so for me. well, i was quite surprised at 1st. i didn't expect it, but it makes no difference. i think they even serve me and the others with a bit more respect and friendliness than you'd see elsewhere. similar projects are set to open in other locations. the dragon's hard cafe is just the beginning, but up promising one bad drugs of
