a rest of the unforgettable man. the hello, i'm christine. wonder. it's good to have your company environments. officials and nigeria is biggest city have taken a bold step in tackling the challenge of plastic pollution. last month. the lagos state government announced an immediate band on single use plastics. the band targets styrofoam products which all popular with food vendors. it also includes single use plastic bags locally referred to as night on bags. now the bad has been welcomed by environmental groups who say africa is taking huge strides in the fight against plastic pollution to date, especially for african countries have any existing ban on those restrictions. the use of plastics. we get office report from lagos with all correspondence only such

a cool my shows as just how diet, plastic pollution is in the city of the does and drainage systems blocked by plastic waste. it's they come on sites in my gerry as largest city, lagos, possibilities hope, the new bound on single just plastics. little help clean up this long standing problem. i remember this come out as a category not now decades late. that is even worse. most people i agree that it probably needs fixing, but not everyone is happy with the band. streets with vendors said they've been hits hottest. they use federal phone boxes as a cheap way to pack lunches, but it's non biodegradable and says to states, the biggest environmental menace defenders say they haven't been given enough time to find alternatives. know i'm the most. somebody who does the drawing for the help. so tell me, did you put the goals soon to present?

and obviously ne goes, produces tons of waste being some of the trash is collected and recycling. but most of it is done without your thoughts for the damage. it does to them by them through i, me the through the course management offloading this because a lot you, physically, we have all these fucking it loads because of how many people use either into this . what does that mean? that it is within those $330.00. what is the by the need to me, one with us or the brought to the car. now i don't want to miss nigeria is a major implants of plastics. and many people rely on plastic waste for the livelihoods. environmental is to say, the band is a 1st step to change and happy to add a one in the process of binding styrofoam. the transition has to be just,

well from our perspective, it has to be 1st mental because as people change behavior we'll, they will also change the way to connect with the use of plastic at different levels, the conversation around plastic and they see fit must be denise the 5 people must see themselves in the conversation. i'm on the conversation. legal stage says that you will back up it's band with checks and produces and distributes is along with fines to help pay for the cost of training. and for more on this we have invited helen dennis from green piece africa. she is the project lead for the organizations pan african plastics project which is aimed at reducing plastic pollution in the environment. welcome to data being use africa. helen. you've hailed the bad on single use plastic in lagos. tell us about just how important a step is. so we mentioned that legal uh government. uh the

um, but by me, plastics and, and the store for that. and this is important because plastic has been shown to have disproportional in products. so imagine a less community does most of these communities leaving africa. um, so uh, plastics has also, you know, led to environmental impacts such as, you know, sliding, which now and leads to a lot of health impacts we need comes to the population of the. so this is i step in the right direction. and in terms of law, just health, but also environmental, you know, justice and health. as we heard in our report, people in lagos were taken by surprise with the bad, especially the bit about it coming into immediate effects. what do you think it will take to make the span achieve the results? the feel for these are seeking in labels. you know, as long as you need to watch, you know, defense the cold as beat are you not industry? the people who produce this title for the, the consumers because, i mean,

when it comes to implementation back is where, you know, the rubber meets the road. so i think what they need to do is look at how do we then look at, for instance, subsidy is, how do we subsidize the ultimate, did that sustainable? no, just looking at what, what, what the consumers will do. because at the end of the day, we need everyone to, to come on board for us to be able to have effective implementation. so let the policy. so then the government also, what is they called as people from the industry who have, you know, the money to, for instance, invest in, in sustainable alternatives. and for the consumers, the older matthews, the 1st 10 level of need to be subsidized. helen stand by because i would like for us to have a look at an example from kenya, which has had a hit start in regulating a plastic pollution. and then we'll pick up our conversation. in tenure at total

buying a single is plastic sofa, only applies to national parks and meets every size box in 2017 can introduce a nationwide bond. one single use plastic minds, a move that was loaded as groundbreaking at that time. but has it been successful? i feel like you to meet the suites i do so between now cuz you can see just as of plastics. it'd be uh, you know, the plastic stand to lot. so i think the government at least the tide by binding plastic the tree to reduce the waste around for me. uh. plus to whichever form your coordinates. uh, they will come out to the store. it's 80 percent of the public are complying with the bonds. can also you to see i didn't $5000.00 fine and after 4 years in prison i have proved to be an effective deterrent and vital mental activities. i agree and say the plastic bag, the bon has made significant gains and how to use plastic pollution overall. so a success, not so fast. you can still find places like b, p, a, nate, roby,

or piece or even face one of the largest landfills, keeping the stuff it got. despite all of our, all the positive responses, the plastic bug buying has not been enough to eliminate kenya's condition problem. because it does not include that many of a forms of plastic, like least bottle of water or florida. or these containers, inmates visit tables and take out the food are sold that are full and a half 1000000 people living in they will be and they generic, more than 2400000 waste every day of feed the which is plastic after the button took effect many of these bags made doubtful of fully propane flooded the markets. the more durable then single use plastic bags an easier to

recycle. none the less popular intakes decades to decompose and eventually breaks down into micro plastics, polluting ground water and coffee hum to humans and animals waiting just that these bugs are supposed to be used repeatedly, but often end up being used on the wireless. just like the previous single use ones therefore, enough for the move to bind individual meant that me humphrey plastics intend to maintain the can government bond, this to alpha and success feet. so all in all, 10 is one of the african countries moving in the right direction bots as priest, africa told us, the item it goes, she'll be completed by a single news. plastics. hey, let me just just picking up with you. um, over the day we see as all reports was saying, in the case of can you that bad and single use plastic bags load while it was

a step in the right direction? it's not been enough to tackle the pollution problem. absolutely, because you know, the other forms of single use plastic sunday, natalia sway this case is a plastic bottles. um, so for it to be successful, we need to complete by no single use glasses call. that thing is blast. it's because if you go to cancel for my case right now, you still have, you know, things like bread and other products being packed, you know, using single use plastics. so this for us to be successful, well, i have to meet that. they've been, you know, he's in mrs. when he comes with a single, you use a, you know, bond that was was, are you since i didn't tend to 17, but the government used to go ahead and burn all of that single use plastics. but more than that, they also need to look at, they'll turn out to you, how do they make those alternatives affordable to the you know, consumers to the public because until that happens, then we'll still be struggling with issues to do with implementation. i understood

and helen, which is the recycling come into the conversation sort of sparkling new not enough to solve. you know, the plastic pollution crises, the alternate, you know, so this on to these crises, these are the backs on the point of production. if you look at the recycling, you know, we started save only about 9 percent of class because of up for the you cause 1000000000 cycles globally. and even when you look at, you know, well, the admissions, but, you know, the, the, the, the, the numbers really don't get back. so you know, for 250. so we're looking at how as to s on where, until we are able to cut production, then we'll not be able to get out of these, you know, prices any time soon. right. that's helen dana from green peace, africa. thank you for your insights. you're watching data, you use africa still to come

a nother foot for the pizza and your will tell you about the history making role at the prestigious berlin international phone system and our full and final rest of the s on the tournaments, the winners both on and off the pitch the bets it's to south africa 1st with the general election. the caea is expected to be the most significant food in the country. and since it attained democracy. so 2 years ago, the country has been ruled by the amc parties since then. but with high levels of unemployment cost of living, crisis, and rolling electricity blackouts, public discontent is rising. and as dw use, that whole co reports, the young people could be a major deciding voice in this election. ciboney. so who will be voting for the 1st time in south africa's upcoming election?

he's generations never experienced a pod, tate, they have the so called bone free. despite this, the 22 year old feels trapped. well, in the, in the about what does that it makes people upset what is that in them all the people vote them all that one party when sunday. mean i want to see if we vote for another party, we're to actually be change. you will see cause with this party, but we have of a, i don't see change, i wouldn't change it. he's worried about his job process. and it says, the government isn't doing enough to provide basic services like education cation is one of the things that needs to be addressed to find the children are learning. and this contained a school need, proper schools. we only have one clinic in this area and it surfaces the large area . so for this large area, there's one clinic, one high school,

and one primary school. we really need to see some change in this area which changes. so do you not glendon? young people may hold the key to this year's election, but less than 50 percent of potential vote is under $29.00. have registered it. they are an estimated 14000000 young south africans well eligible to vote in between to 24 nationally election. if all of them were to register and turn out on the election day, they have the potential to complete the change, the political direction of the country. however, with over 300 registered parties, many youngs of africans don't know, way to place the mach a clue. recently participated in a vote to education session organized by a local oh here. if you could speak openly about these frustrations with the government on boston, the politicians keep stringing us along,

keep running away from us and then best buy them. the organization believes that getting young voters to think about the own needs can make them feel more involved . it's important that voters having conversations amongst ourselves about what this election means, how we're going to vote. why are we going to vote at knoxville? i think we spend a lot of time focusing on the political parties, but it's not the election. it is our election as the voters of the country who now sees the power of his vote. yeah. is that the, these conversations need to happen more often? the money happens, the mazda pressure will shift from us to the government to change the economy issues, including the ruling and see government has had 3 decades impala but young people live, who don't have the same historical ties to the party as the parents. and they feel laid down they vote couldn't bring about the biggest political change in post apply

on to read the final thing that is where i can also be proud that nobody give them a chance to go this far to reach to find out but the deed and they brought the middle of the dream once again, you know, since 2015 you had notaries to find out and just to read to find out what's what's really good. yeah, i, it was, it was a tournament of surprises, but i'm going to be graceful and allow you to give, need to pay. is that set up for you? is this one that, i mean it's, it's a lot, lots of pay as, but $2.00 stories stand out. i think one will it has to be. so boston has the, the request striker who's got the winning goal for them. and if i know he, he saw 5 concepts years ago, he pays for the duct on just here in germany. and he's, i've cancer. i thought he's kind of was over. wow. came back and made every cost dream. you know, i'm become the town sales of africa for the time. the so this story of,

of chime for against the circumstance, especially as it goes down, sees, is, is huge. and it's, it's something we can all look back on and prism for it would be a lifelong story and the 2nd test and that stuff will need someone i know with the vehicle with interest that go with the come through those and i there. yes. and he was named play of the a be able to totally. and i'm sorry, and we m a was born in the middle lands. he's mom is darcia as far as nigeria and interest of police. when i do a few years ago, one of the for work which is when i told him, look, i don't think you can play it his as a kind of position. but look at him to do the best play out in africa and told him in and he's, he's stories really good. i saw him just before the tournament. and he had been folded out of the team for a year. but he was really calls back and just going onto the company of the tournament is, is amazing. remarkable. this was on, on accounts, a successful tournament who, who gets the credit for that? i think costs are really doing well because the addition of comfortable organizing

such a tournament, they've quoted from 16 teams between 4 and it makes it more exciting opportunity for you smaller countries to qualify. otherwise, 16 teams was really lead me to lead me to do you know what, we're 24 teams using coaches i'm or 10 year which the lockout compared to reach the quote to finance again after 2015. you mean? and then caution gage went on. so she making this tournament digital fist, you know, you could just engage with the key moments inside the, in the, on the peach in this, in the dressing rooms, they made it really engaging for funds or social media and kicked off and instagram, it's, they did this really good, but also the host country, you know, desperate of acquired by welcome. they opened up every course way. everyone in the homestead tournament that was really attractive and i didn't have a lot of credit for that, but also on the part of the host, they built all the stadiums. well,
