and the threats of arrest in the side of strength. so it runs on the full, the prime minister, has been in jail for more than a year. now, facing criminal cases that fall and says, all politically motivated, his support has now se, if he is not released, they'll do it by force. i'm on youtube as mckinnon. and this is the day the table. today's, the people have shown that one way of reading love for a run hon and they decide to see him. we touched as prime in his stuff ordering. so we went back down, god willing into a missed the con is released and all about the amounts of mit poor poor and all the we started to united for him, but han,

ready to sacrifice everything. we are willing to give our lives and livelihoods for him. also on the day, germany's and baffled trump slot will show its, gets the green lights to run again for another to the will. his policy unites behind the unpopular candidates. how does that sound good? this is a good to know that we took the time to think things over together that we have now made a pile of minds that we have decided that we want to achieve together. what we succeeded in doing less time. namely, the, the s p, the is voted, the strongest party come to tax to peptide, to that well, can we start to impact as don, west thousands of supporters of jail, former prime minister and run phone on much seeing on the capsule to demand his release with overseas in as well, i'm about it has had the city on indefinite locked down since saturday and have

deployed thousands of police in pa power millet trays to block the protest of his classes have broken out, leaving at least one office. the dead at home was ousted from office in 2022. he's been in prison for more than a year on a multitude of charges, which he says will concocted to keep him out of power. con remains popular as does his pci policy. they're describing this latest processment. as the final cool shipping containers and trucks block highway is leading to pockets times capital is lama bond of the city has been sealed off as large. he's tried to prevent him from palm support is from reaching it. the former prime minister has called on his support, has to match on parliament and demand his release from jail. tons being behind bob's to move in a year on more than $150.00 criminal charges. his political policy,

the p t. i maintains the charges politically, mostly banks, it police say the protest are illegal and have clashed with support is trying to get to as lama. but what i'm going to like and i'm going to get we're peaceful in getting your problem. but if they fire to guess on us, we're also prepared for these kinds of attack i get the get low by showing are use are conscious. and they will release and run con, confirm jail and run concord. hot country children getting shun. and without bod, jay or demands are for immune on con, our members that are in jail, to be a really simple engine ownership. but when we reach here, they fired gear and gas and rubber bullets at us. utah, uh, we have no fear. it might be a yes, we're going to move ahead and use that. um i don't, the id security is tight and as long of odd with as an increase of police and

military prisons. authorities have also restricted access to mobile and internet services and suspended some public transport. and we can speak now facilitate the car a. he's a senior lead to of him are on cons, p t i policy. i'm an advisor to him are i'm found on international relations and media. welcome to the w way hood and we're on han describing this protest moment as a final cool. how far will these protest is go to secure his release as well? we've reached this level box in, in nearly a 100000 people with more on the way. and we believe that tomorrow, even more, more people and the testers will join this peaceful protest in the solver. so the numbers are high and just wanna make it category to clear this protest like all our other protests, a goal been peaceful. don't forget the mon cons wife is leading this protest along

with the chief minister of k b assist as on ground with the protesters. other women are taking part in this protest. so obviously we're not there to fight. we just want our constitutional right and that is all the demanding of the right to peaceful assembly. we can see the pictures, i mean is all about is said to resemble, especially on the see used uh, thousands of supporters on support as of being arrested by police in the past days . i hear you saying that this is a peaceful process, but are you worried about what possibly might might come next as well, i think the possible has already started or it's, it's common gone right now, just before joining you, we've just got confirmed reports about 3 people getting shot by the government and the police that been shot in the leg. the interior minister just came on tv 15 minutes ago and said that we are not worried about firing bullets on our, on, on,

if anyone comes towards as i'm about or to the harp of detroit, which we call the location that we want to go to. and he's open to declare that he will fire real bullets. and like i said, 3, i've already been shot. so it's already started. they will start creating a narrative whereby they will say that our protest is on peaceful enhanced. we open fire on them. this is something that you'll see probably come up in the next 24 hours if not less. apart from the 3, the shock already, we're scared. what will happen tonight? because obviously they have all the ammunition and we just have flags and water and food. what do you think the future holds him wrong on? if he remains in prison? that the number it just all depends on how many more numbers joined on. you know this, we have 3 demands for this protest. one was to revolve 26th amendment,

which basically, which basically means that you just treat under the executive. so i had no more independence. and number 2 was to release all the political prisoners, including him on con and all the others that are in these illegal fabricated cases . and so it was a return on dar stolen mandate from the election, which is clear as day that we had one. and we've got no actual paper, evidence of it. so you know, these are the months the demands that every citizen should have. we use one democracy to return to bucks on. we just want the rule of law to be back into the country. they're trying to lock down the, they've locked down the entire country, they're trying to curb the passion of the people and the demands of the people by putting the country in the config, locked down, houses. any country is supposed to function like this, from hospitals to schools, to businesses. this is not the way they could just easily let us come into our peaceful protests like we've done many times before. to call these unnecessary

strains and brutality and tyranny on us is on call for him on phone is obviously very popular, political tensions of being on the rise. you've mentioned that yourself. do you see pockets done as a tipping point right now? absolutely. i mean, i the way that it's going, you know, you con yukon, keep everything locked down for too long that people have bucks on their to moms or in front of them. it's all of us in mont hahn is the most popular leader in the country. as of use that as part to here, the one the elections is obvious that every single thing that is being done in the country right now is to keep the non con, behind bars. and somehow it as a political party, out of the government, which is just not sustainable in any way because you're, you're in an undeclared marsh and all practically so unless we declare ourselves open to that word, we want to run the country under marshal. there's no other real way of, of governing us. i believe that you've been appealing to the international community. so this support,

who do you think could put pressure on the text on the government and the military, who would be your best hope? well look, we would like it as an overall we would want the international community to raise their voices. it's not like we want an intervention or we want them to do something about it. but we want them to put pressure in the sense that what are you doing with 260000000 people and in law honda is obviously going to send as, according to the un arbitrary detention working group. according to amnesty international, he's got a bill just about a week ago. he was on bill and then it through on another 20 cases and put him and 4 or 5 do romano. he's already been in prison for 18. uh, 18 months. what do you need? remember mon, full when the court is given and built and said release him immediately. so, you know, we would one, obviously, the us, britain, europe, country or countries i believe in democracy. and at the same time, our brother the countries in the gc to raise their voice and feel the pain of 250

many people who have been absolutely suppressed. we'll see if the car advisor to him run. com. thank you so much for your time. i think watching the day still to come up to view in climate talks comes the next environmental crisis facing the planet. plastic pollution kind of wells come together. it talks in south korea to cut down on plastic waste the world once an in to plastic pollution. the world needs an end to plastic pollution and i us, you to deliver this instrument this week. this image should be able to get your thoughts became more and more difficult to make decisions in difficult time us to push this. that's why it was right to end this government by firing the finance minister didn't less inhabit. that's why it's right to hold the confidence by december. and that's why it's right to hold an election in february next year. now the people will how fast say,

and we're asking for that vote and that was the general counsel at last. so it's off to accepting his social democrat policies nomination to lead it into next use snap elections. now it has been a tumultuous month for adults for the s p d, as he just heard him outline it began with a collapse of his 3 way coalition. government offered bits of breakup with the pro business free democrats about assess a political process in motion. that's if all goes to plan should result in small collections on february 23rd. the political crisis in germany comes as europe's largest economy focuses, and with schultz is popularity and a full time, lo it, unless debates in the s p, the whether site cit, even sams, again, whether he should step aside. today the policy leadership confirmed that they think

he is the right man for the job to hold up. sorry. we having all of sorts of shots, literally status through difficult crises. the was showing the composure instead, fast, and it's one of the big international issues. this type of kind of binding goes into my hands on the other side, disagreed with each mouth on the inside this, there was never been a man or a counselor don't can book and he's never being part of a state or a federal government to give them time on the phone just to give them. so that name you just had the flu as maps, as the conservatives candidates such on sla until it says main rival to lead the next government there is lots to discuss here. so let's bring in the w for this co correspondence, simon young. hi, simon, that this is likely to end the weeks the speculation of what will i feel it's and whether he'll be his policies. she wants latan, does it, but how much damage has all of this done to him? yeah, yeah, i think get this has a database, they sort protracted debates about who would that lead the social democrats if the

election is really damaged, the policies damage sholtes and they've already plenty of people in the gym and public who concerned with worry wondering about the leadership qualities of life, shouts off to his. the 3 biology coalition, the fella pauses. he mentioned that in early november. and what came off to that? well, that the, there were a couple more weeks of questions about whether a life schultz is the right man to be john. so the going forward as people were talking about the defense minister boys. but story is as possibly the best to try to take as much more popular in the polls. and then i'll f sholtes, he's there and it took 2 weeks. but as far as the story is to finally come forward and say, well actually i'm not available. i'm backing at oh, laugh sholtes in stayed at. you could also point the finger at the cd policy or doherty's, uh, the people who use that have managed things that haven't really delivered on what

they are supposed to do really. which is to keep the policy together to kick the groceries in june with the heavy white politicians at inviolate. and so it's been a very shaky start at to this campaign as the campaigning gets on the way. i think the s b d will be hoping that there are no more questions going forward about where the o f shows is the right language. have to wait and say to the by the way, the still has to be actually officially confirmed by a policy conference is going to be held in mid january. so polls so support for the s p d collapsing. so what could germany's next government off to the election february potentially look like? yeah, well that by the way, isn't increasingly difficult question to all the se in germany. there are more policies uh than that used to be. and we've also got another thing, the phenomenon of a people changing their minds relatively late in the election campaigns is becoming

increasingly common. so it can be difficult to predict jim and elections nowadays. and also by the way they sound like the election will be unusual and that is being held in february. what effect might that have on turn out? nobody knows. but having settled that it does look at the moment is if the center right conservative cd you see su bazzi are essentially in a solid place to win. and it's lita, it's candidate for jobs left readers match the cd you lead to uh as long as he avoids gaps and he has no ways down that in the past. but he does look according to the polls at the moment is a fee will be the man to take on the role of johnson the off to february. now the question for him will be, what kind of government can you put together? what kind of coalition and i run a cli, it may well be that the ends up again in coalition with the social democrats,

presumably not then on the left shoulds. but then i also have to be another smaller policy involved in a lot what it was that depends on how the populace parties a f d and b s w. do. so there's quite a lot of unpredictability about the next gym and government. it's a pretty hostile economic climate to be going to the polls, isn't that, i mean, big gem and companies are announcing thousands of drop cuts, fixing the economy is obviously going to be a massive top off for any government. is it the economy that is going to be the main concerns has always has in this election? do you think, simon, i think it's going to be a massive issue. as you say, that have already been layoffs, particularly in the auto industry and their fee is. but that could be more of that going forward from the social democrats to day. we heard that they will be concentrating on issues like pay and pensions and other social issues. they think that that's where they can really a galvanized that base and may be serge in the coming months. the other big issue,

i think, undoubtedly will be the war, and ukraine is a big concern for a lot of voters. and it's an issue with a black shoals that sort of styled as the piece john slot. with his cautious approach on ukraine, avoiding escalation has a very different line from the city you lead to freed reach. matt, so talks about delivering long range missiles to ukraine that will certainly play big. but it is going to be an incredibly difficult job for ourselves to catch up at almost a 20 point deficit in just a few months until the election, the end of february, the w simon young. finally, thanks so much. now just a day off of the massive united nations climate conference wrapped up in as a by sean delegates from a $175.00 countries have now gathered in the south korea to hash out a tracy on global plastic pollution as the event kicked off today,

so many of the visions have arisen, suggesting that deal making is going to be a difficult task. countries that by the front of plastic solution, struggling to reach agreement with petrochemical, producing nations like china and saudi arabia. now the amount of plastic waste produced globally has been climbing softly. and if it's left unchecked, scientists say it could double or even and triple over the next decade. so right now, it is thought more than $52000000.00 tons. and so the environment each and every year, india is the most plastic polluted country in the world, with $9300000.00 tons being released annually. it's followed by nigeria with 3500000 tons. then indonesia, with just over 3000000 closely followed by china and practiced on so it's a problem, but needs urgent attention. here's what's being said as low as towards guess on the way in south korea. this conference is about 5 more that drafting an international

treaty is about humanity, racing to meet alex. this does have the challenge. this is your chance to croft in agreement for the ages. one that could deliver a 1000 of years free from plastic, one that at the end of this week, the gabble must come down. differences in views still remain on key issues, including plastic production, controllable plastic products and chemicals. the decisions made here will determine whether we confront the plastics crisis with the addition that demands or allow the fossil fuel and petrik chemical interest to the rail progress. a week treaty is a failed treaty. to more or less, we can bring in julia colleen. she's a senior attorney with the environmental health program at the center, international environmental. she's joining us now from geneva, julia,

welcome. we have been talking about global plastic pollution for a long time. how bad is this problem to thank you so much for the invitation and the problem, as you showed aids, be it's huge and it's growing. uh, as you said, the estimates of that are debt slash production codes truthful by 2050. if an auction is taken and uh, i've seen that you show the statistics about plastic ways, but that is really just the end of the life cycle. and i like us to think about upstream who is producing plastique and who's profiting from it. and uh, for decade, the plastic industry industries spent millions uh, income painted and advertisements making us think that we could just recycle plastic waste. even if they knew that it was a mix. adding fact, if we look at the current crises,

um is no actually steak and it will get worse. not just in the environment which is the most valuable part of plastic pollution. but also for human health. sky empties but being, finding my tra, plastic in our bodies. you know, the major oregon are looking at. the latest findings are dies micro nano plastics that'd be filed in our lungs, in our blog aimed our grades. and so we should not live just downstream. other ways, but really adstream to tackle these uh, both environmental and health tries is to really stop it at the store starting up the top of plastic production. so obviously a real sense of urgency, but a world tracy to cub plastic waste sounds ambitious, was all the prospects of actually getting a deal done. and how in full simple with an international tracy be the stakes are high and indeed is not an easy job. and that's because of the

economic and vested interest, but there are behind i, as you mentioned, and i was showing the video, there are links between uh the plastic industry and the fossil fuel industry because 99 percent of plastic originates from fossil fuels from portland gas we can learn from previous agreements uh like the parts of europe and apply much. and we know what we need for a plastic sweetie to be effective. we need legally binding of the nations from state's largest voluntary measures. and we need from a procedural point of view, a governance that doesn't allow just to be to power by one or a few countries with vested interest, the one to the rate of progress, but potentially a possibility to vote in disputes or treaty to continue on to moving to the plantation, just 3 key examples of obligations that will be,

need to make it in prevent, to make it implementable, are caught on plastic production of bon on the toxic chemicals that are using plastic can affect our health and a financial mechanism. so might be to make sure it is complemented why seem to force there's also huge plastic waste problem in a oceans. how do you get nations to work together to clean this up when it snow and then after water has any more to that is just the end of the cycle. and e t is indeed a problem. but if we just focus on cleanups, we will get more and more the spacious soap hook circle of cleaning up and the heavy new blast waste in the environment. that is why it's crucial to opt up stream and to regulate cost, to reduce the production of plastic. otherwise, it will be simply impossible to manage the plastic engine environment. it's already

possible right now, and the situation will just get worse. we've uh, these plastic production that will keep growing according to the estimates if no action is taken just briefly, julia why all governments are reluctant to act on single use plastics. plastic packaging, i mean people are adaptable on them and truly they could get used to alternative yes, people are adaptable and i wouldn't blame consumers for their choices where sometimes they do not even have the choice. the issue is an over production of plastic. and again, we go back to who's producing plastic and who's the source who's profiting. and we have fossil fuel companies who are extracting oil and gas and producing plastic and profiting from it. so we have the same actors that are humphrey progress, even the climate spaces that are also coming to the plastic through the

negotiations. in fact, earlier this year, the previous round of negotiation, we saw a 40 percent decrease almost of fossil fuel and climate industry lobbyist coming to this negotiation compared to the previous session. we're still yeah, to me, i'm so sorry about the organization this week. i'm going to have to enter right here. yeah, cuz we're out of time. but thank you so much to, to calling me from the center of international environmental. and that is the show for today. take a look at our website, the www dot com, some old from now to now. thanks so much from the inside st. on today, the

eco india almost a good 1. 1 of the steps here is also a fuss and it's very, very difficult to navigate in a city of $12000000.00 cars, fidelity have forgotten. it's pedestrian. the 1st step is to see some system. andrews 3 acts as active as show us how they're making in the biggest city, more walkable eco india. now on d. w. candice sentry old novels still be relevant to look at homeless muns masterpiece,
