often can be the printer, since. what doesn't look behind the facade? is this energy john tell us gas from russia's political weapon stuffs, february 3rd on dw, the how to make our toxic was a little better. i know, i don't mean blocking your toxic friends and social media. hello and welcome. i'm sorry we got the body and you all watching eco into our modern industrialized world is producing more toxins than ever before. that now in our food, in our and even on water, water quality across several parts of the world is getting worse. you ended up as us that 80 percent of the was the waste water is discharged back into the

environment without any proper treatment. so where do we stand right now and what can be done? let's dive into today's episodes to find more on, says ben, google, the city with the housing leaks now only has a few 100 of them left on those to couldn't sammy native with dr. look, now these links are being revised and that is a benefit even for the food in this id hub. um, but how are licks, especially toxic lakes and kitchens connected to each other? let's find out now that i do is taking care of the landscape at the nature he lives in jekyll. that's about opening the new to the city has become lucky i to help in recent decades. and it has the sprawling i do, but once about 2000 leagues here, but no more than 3 quarters of them have disappeared. it again,

i get into it was that the problem is that people want more space and more development. i've got another one. so the government is copying all localities here and do what that can do, leasing all the sewage water into these leak leaks out fine. but this huge water needs to be filtered, treated and kept clean but a pretty good marty lee. and i gave you the vehicle in the city and got your most is a senior fellow at the ciocca trust fund research. she tries to explain how this development could have happened. now the water supply interest sector developed. but what happened is the resource her teeth went intrusted, did not develop at the same place as a result strong what their dreams ritual. getting historically on these in water started receiving on to, to, to be smart. and this on to did wastewater started slowly into these leaks with drastic consequences. in march of 2021,

the lender leg caught fire again. 6 years after the previous 500000000 liters of untreated waste water continued to flow into the lake each day. and including not only look on the fly, life toxic substances have long been found in the areas farmland, the largest tv that much ended up of the indian institute of science investigated the effects of things lose polluted legs. one livestock and crops we collected a peach them, but then the government, the downstream of the nate, you know, and they also at the beginning a, the, i, the on fish except the me. ok when we analyze all the, the food costs the board and we went to, hey, we met them in the book, jamie, the cd has cancer and know that this web the, you do the read for you sure. like can still could meet. they don't accept the

evidence on of the problems, you know, now new to citizens, initiatives and organizations in the city. people here frontier cleans x back or on the committee. god has made it his job to clean the legs. 40 years ago he set up a foundation to make it easier to, to use the necessary funds because it won't work without money. yeah, i think type of makes one is i did. one is feeling which, which one is naturally. so they did like a lot of thing just in the top of your feet, catchment area of vision and logged off, not lost as being this type. you open up the now let's see that, what do we learn to the lake and deluxe? we watch the holding capacity to a sprint within all definitely the risk based and that would be the more everything is ideal. keen, no longer lead, stay in water flow into the leaks instead that succeed funny. this is intended to

revitalize the slides. micro climate energy storage as a separate id for wildlife. the water in the league is naturally beautified by the reeds and floating islands that critic plans. you can go to a lot of things. naturally beautification alone is not enough to address, but here are some coming from base. what does the need to have these wastewater treatment plants need to be solutions? loans, they are supplementary to the systems themselves. are not sufficient even though bank dental has just invested in 7 sewage treatment plans, they're not enough to to, to be swapped out of the metro palace of 10000000. the . this is chuck or lick at 160 heck does. it is one of the cities biggest echo just so much in the us team has combined log base purification here. but simple

technical support our teeth. and what we did was we ended up that the edward led and all they filed the with the statement. right? so a large proportion of us, the speed and nitrogen and could be to move to that from the different plan. oh, that'd be moving that we go. i yeah. when it was supposed to look up selected where to learn the 3, what was that again, made up by the getting somebody don't be why we live and it wasn't through the icon for did remove the legal part of the month by the, in the bank a little developing to talk to you initiated do the violation of double click and it is now managed by to have to bring a new to me. i cannot get up by the case of civic body. and the citizen group, just pushing past the lake country supports the livelihood of 70 percent of families who have been centered towards the upkeep

of the beauty and difficulties. you know, we have the entire community like we have the glass good. does we have the vision, men? we have the home dogs, we have the look in the groups. so we have many things happening at the lake. so it's like a be good connect of the community, give it at least a quarter to do some more involved then finally, the emergency is conservation. if anybody wants to guns of this mix, even if everyone but to contribute to maintaining the quality of the leak water, the to, to, to water. what does to not be, think of it but i can't get them. but of course, it's difficult to use the water for daily purposes. it has to be filtered, really valid for the sometimes the league stainless everything that the government is doing is fine, protecting beautification, etc. but the water didn't not build are still of the country. one sewage treatment plants and think a noodle only reported to be scientifically money to for waste water treatment. contaminated food continues to be

a problem. as untutored waste water is still being used for finding the state, the and also being decommissioned. a vast majority of last set of shipping vessels are scraped on the south asian shores forming a major risk for the walk us through the course to ecosystem. come with us on an investigative wage, to go on. the was 2nd largest ship breaking yard to witness these environmental impacts. first tend to did, does a 32 year old fisherman spent off of his life catching fish along the she duck on the coast line a bundle dish. but recently, das noticed a traveling change in the marine eco system, it will have one on the last 8 of the that it was much more efficient. i figured

when the boat would be full, the to next, you know, even $20.00 to $30.00 net. so fish less than that as others. i want to make sure i'm including the job. so i just out of this on what? yes many even left the area after sending that property is to dp dex. land that it was easy as he blames the broken up ships along the shore for polluting the water. the research shows that up to 10 percent of a giant ships weight is made above as best as heavy metals boil. and other toxic substances due to poor management and these yards toxic material ends up in the environment. the still go is the 2nd largest city in bangladesh. the north, distant part of the sports city, guarantees home to fort issue, breaking your spending approximately 20 kilometers along the coast,

research it probably the boat who has examined the marion bite over city here. well, to be able to hear if i uh, for each one of the last 20 years on the fisherman alone kit are gone, stuck on the coastline. last 25 is patients of fish. yeah. one of the most important elements of letting biodiversity, macro bent is like snails and oysters, on most extent, on this coastline to back on 5 bill people. i totally get to talk to the governor and she took them to tow near the cpr a sees that she break and wants to share his experience and only mostly i just put it on paper and they said david, provide protective, get such as boards, helmets, gloves, regularly but the problem is replacements and never put the ones that are new to new people more so that goes to resolve to using dollars. that's makes shift must

1st sense protection. but now a level of me just for the new drums with them. so i just looked at the end of the, i'm going to breaking these goals is a very dangerous job. and workers often suffer accidents in 2022 alone and usually pulled it up is 10. that's and 32 injuries long term health issues. a chronic problem for many workers, the environmental field, since each of them say more long term research is needed to determine the extent of environmental impacts on despite the precepts showing that the labels succeed. w h o 's health standards. i'm under the, the comprehensive, the studies from relevant departments, other sentient for a better assessment because it is, i'm gonna go based on the tribute to say

there is one us on an environmental lawyer. an activist feels that the government is not responding properly to the hazards of breaking for human health. breaking industry offers to people experiencing poverty is not going to say, but catholics in sort of like asbestosis and cancer. is there a teacher at this, this d, v d b c b wistar environment where to find the item sections fruitless besides a lack of equipment and release to ship saying that nobody is dis phone except for the in the twist. when it is precisely the in, but with that is all the problem according to international local law. i do not see any significance of visa inspection that you use 2013.

she breaking recycling regulation mandates. eco friendly, sheep dismantling, and prohibits europe and ships from being scrapped outside approved yards. despite these investigations show that europe in flag ships are often dismantled in salvation yards. so convincing the rules to turn the body saves inflect changes. the recent documents obtained by dw on color incomplete ownership details highlighting enforcement challenges. the matter of fact, the shipping call companies based in the global north, a new or a for instance, when they have to, we legally explore it the ship for breaking to south asia. the, they often these were present fox and lied to authorities about the final destination of the best. so as a way to avoid being codes in response to inquiries, the you commission acknowledge to the necessity for stronger implementation of the you feel recycling regulation. but stated that enforcing the laws properly is the

responsibility of law enforcement and national courts in member states. what does she breaking industry makes is crucial for bangladesh is economy providing steve and jobs. along with this has recently ratified the home convention on safe shape recycling, making it the se consolidation nation to do so after india and this renovated shipyard and see, talking to one of the owners claims to be the standards as best separate. but i don't know how to separate a specialist. do you need a special machine which be have important from europe because so on to the center this management festivities built. we've been processed to enters the holidays. thank you. what are separate us? and here's the on the water separator. this separates on from water into this thing,

all of that correct, that tank any, as of right off the lot of my product and the water is discharged into the see the what that mean? what that, what about the on the shipyard has a concrete beating so face designed to push the support the beach ship back in tucker, environmental activists. the sun is not happy with any provision of beating under the home convention to hook it demos to greenwashing countries, including all the fish a bundle of days to sign the hong kong convention which permits beaching, however, would not be allowed between within its borders bundle dishes governments should adhere to european standard differentiation in certain cases is not acceptable. to really address the environmental damages and bundle dish solid international grooves. we don't do falls or isn't she of recycling old vessels into scrap.

we'd be lost income source. but this means more ships continue ending up on solid issue and cost. clearly, as we saw, shipwrecks are a major problem and add items. national jewels are needed to make a difference. let's head to a shipyard in belgium to understand the business of ship wrecking the complicated process of recycling and the possibilities and challenges. it's an attractive job, it's, it's a, it's every a changing job. you've got different ships, different types of chips, the different methods of working. so it's a very various jump if you want, with temperatures just above freezing and rain falling steadily. his enthusiasm seemed admirable. the boss and his nearly 20 strong team know their ships inside

out. you would think they'd been to see themselves. they know exactly what they can extract from former navy boats, for example. that's really and i really wonder who they are. of you can choose to me that the ships have many precious metals and we get so many different materials out about that. all the cop uh, brown, different allies with other ships. it's a bit different on the boat is which on the here at this recycling yard in belgium . all materials are neatly separated and disposed of if necessary. the toxic materials are stored in a separate hall and treated as hazardous waste. a large proportion of the ships can be recycled and then sold on obviously the ship is maybe 90 percent of scrap anyway. but all the rest of the materials also recycled like the

woods oils all these stuff. so we, we are 97 to 98 percent of recycling and it's only a very small proportion that ends up in landfill. the steel is sorted separately. it's an important raw material for companies that build new ships. the theater winton tells us the belgian authorities visit every 3 months to ensure that safety standards are being met and everyone is wearing protective gear staff here are well aware of how bad the working conditions are for the majority of their colleagues in asia who it's not good alternative safety. is there a lot of accidents there about the loss of difficulty that people are allowed on the ship just as they don't? there's all your flowing out. it's not like that. well here, every thing is on your has to comply with international standards and law,

which is how it should be. what was the, what doesn't within but none of the big container ships end up here. only small fishing trawlers or the occasional navy or police boat. even the biggest shipping companies still send their vessels to asia or turkey for scrapping because it's much cheaper. the european union has a list of ship breaking yards approved for their environmental standards and workers safety. but only around 40 of them are actually in europe. it's quite clear that here in, in, in, in europe we all already very regulated by older legislation, which is not the case in the, in other countries like turkey or let alone asia. and these, these people liked and turkey we've got today, we got 9 yard. so i think on your list and they are not competing with the same

standards as us european based yards. so they are taking the market, the weight from us. some of the methods used to ship ranking yards in asia are extremely harmful to the environment. include the practice of deliberately beaching the ship, which is prohibited in europe. experts are calling for tougher rules. making the european shipping companies directly responsible for following european law when they're sending that i suppose for, for recycling. so that would be one way of strengthening the regulation. europe. ship ranking yards should actually be getting more custom. the european ship owners association been coast as the number of vessel slinked in for recycling is set to double over the next 8 years, reaching 15000. the hope is that the larger shipping companies will be willing to cut their profit margins and have more ship scrapped in europe. we believe that the

shipping is such the kind of forward to do it sustainably. and when they say that the custom of fortune is kind of twisting and twisting it with the issue because they will also re, i mean money by selling their muscles for cycling in your life. so it has value, it's a lot them good quality scraps too. but peter winton is skeptical. his shipyard was one of the 1st to gain use certification 10 years ago. but he says the ship owners have a huge lobby, allowing them to avoid scrapping their vessels in europe. they planning to change the waste ship and regulation. so in order to put ation yards on the, on your list and i think whenever that happens we all back described one. i think the best thing to do is that your flag chips just must be recycled on your base yards. scrapping these 2 fishing trawlers won't bring in much profit,

but for now the big boats are selling to cheaper and less restrictive shores linkages and spend from septic tanks are north of the site. in fact, in sufficient sewage water management damages the environment and several other parts of the world. that is an entrepreneur in mulatto who has come up with a sustainable solution, bio septic tanks, that can also recycle sewage water. the water, the v vi is floating over his flowers, was recently used to wash the dishes. all the waste water from his house ends up in a bio tank implement and the one, what do we do? we should keep natured in mind because it is the ultimate power of the moment, so we should try our best, not the way to go with the conventional septic tank. the waste water is coming. did an empty that they get into is it's not uncommon for that. we have sports to end up

in rivers and lakes, but using the environment according to cyber akash from the city of glen. but those are the, the bio tanks, the sewage water gets recycled. it can be used for different purposes, are drained into the ground, doing the new one there. this is how it works. all the waste water from a house who ends up in a collection tank. the it is mixed with enzymes. they help the bacteria to convert the sludge into water very quickly, from their bosses to the situation back. here, small particles are collected and treated again. at the end, the beautified water is discharged from the tank. some fold it into the ground. are those water they've got invitation like the well, he has to get used to having a biological toilet, but it didn't take long. but the, the loan and i'm a, what do we say in the cautious one thing that we need to be cautious about is cleaning generally. we clean once or twice a week,

but it's important to not to use any citrix products at all. in red cases, we are, we are on vacation for a money order. if someone accidentally uses an accident for cleaning, then there's a chance that the bacteria can die depending on the money. but at the level, we have a release of the enzymes that you have, which is safe to do on the body. otherwise it is generally low maintenance. the easily funding on my so maintenance under this from the companies on the eco friendly bio dogs have another advantage. the cost only half as much as the conventional septic tanks. they may be made of concrete metals of plastic, depending on their location and the conditions. put the cash. i'm not going to kick them without me giving you the 1st examine the 80 over the time because to be better. if it's low code, re visit the site in person. if it's somewhere else, we ask them to send us a video. we also need information like how many people are living in the household

and how frequently? yes, since visit the house. we then design the tank according a little bit. normally our tongues have a capacity of 1000 leaders signed by the know to donald. but you know, i looked at a couple of things going on. i don't even need to clean the bio septic tanks themselves. that do is done by the eco friendly bacteria on free of charge. it well doesn't sound very young me, but it's a pretty common practice across single floor um california recycling switch. what else? who would have puts but increasingly as what us guess it becomes a real check for millions across the globe. we will have to do several more such things to ensure that our water bodies are less and less but you. but you let me know what would you like to see more off on the show? you can email us or reach out to me directly on my social media handles. i will see you next week until then take care would buy from us. gosh, the,

the big problem is that the killing us and the government has to doing nothing to start doing with what i can't imagine. losing a child is that only when your child risk your life for political change, your security is stronger for the issues doesn't change everything now, which i'm forced to suspend or do you stand off with people in and you that have been to the us and them in 30 minutes only d w. who need them call is

transylvania has so much more to offer. and just following beautiful. the funny you symmetry in the world. transylvania. the house of romania. in 75 minutes on the d. w. the states will encounter in the late 19 seventy's former concentration camp inmates, shlomo smiles, not met the man who had to maintain him. go stop fog now. 2 years later, vaux now was dead. was it suicide? rise to down. what's really hot? the goldsmith banassi starts january 27th on

d w. so you don't seem to the same way you expect and more different things from life than your parents. i just want to pursue was that's my thought desired or you think your kid is 2 different risky a response? the reasonable part is nonsense. i want my son to become a dr. joe in the clubs. it's time to to vehicle your generation with a sleep us. i'm them wind generation as class this week on the dw, this kind of fun. it feels like therapy, the

this is dw news wise from berlin. tonight, the russian military plane has crashed close to the ukrainian border. social media video appears to show when the aircraft went down. russian media say at least 65 ukrainian prisoners of war were on board. also coming up to 9, donald trump has won the new hampshire primary. it's the 2nd victory in his bid for the us republican presidential nomination, but his only arrival nikki haley. she says the race is far from over, plus 50 platforms and silent tracks. it's germany's train conductors go on strike for better pay. it's causing disruption to track.
