and that's why you can't back down when it comes to historical fos of occasion but that's just my opinion. has area bagus classified as one of the world's thirty most polluted sites it's tanneries or an out in out ecological disaster laying to waste everything around them every day the factories belch for fifteen thousand cubic meters of toxic refuse leaving it to pile up amid the housing and along the river bank. the demand soon the waste floods into a wings penetrating the soil and filtering down to contaminate the water tables. the brewery gang the river flows through the slum is paying the highest price. the tanneries use vast amounts of water millions of liters of water are required to

wash treat and tender skins. this water goes into the sewers. it is no longer useful you know it is discarded. it ends up polluting the river. haven't you noticed the state of the burger rivers water this is the water that flows into it. all this water laden with chemical products is dumped directly into the river with no purification. i this is a very it is their life they know this is the only a walk of i guess street. and people. guy dependent on this rebirth

for a number of theories this we just saw some of which i believe i do by the affair by their way of being. we wash ourselves here because we have no other choice we have no running water but there are always two hundred people waiting at the public fountains so we have to wash in this filthy water. just like many others the owner of this small town every specialized in dying skins is unconcerned by the hazards his activity gives rise to. the most of this evacuation system has been in use for a long time. it is dirty water inevitably goes into the river. there's nowhere else for it to go that's the way it is. but will the judge it would naturally flow into the river. thief of course water containing chemicals is bad for the health

probable that would have been the problem but if we worried about toxicity it would stop working. to go by when it was ready to do that. but in this country and the polluters needed factory owners well polluting they don't pay for the clean up. philip again is a bangladeshi scientist in ten years he's been the only person to study the question of the pollution produced by the ten days of his area back. i think that that situation has become worse he sees the washed polluted air he had that i have ever seen in bangladesh and in many other countries. maybe yes maybe he gave her yeah and all the factories. releasing. three did we waste. it. the first set of the total position that is being

caused to this rebirth is coming from the teddy. dumping chromium into their lever waka and is very difficult to take chromium out of your system. if yourself a smoker is contaminated with chromium and if it is going to get any good actor live it that you can't even cure it that means you're actually exposing the entire population of the city into very deadly n.s.e. vs. the teller's have poisoned the city's entire canal system. was the main artery of. drinkable water and fish to the population. today it's the third most polluted river in the world no living will consume can survive in it and the stench it exudes makes even sailing there is

a difficult during. those years. that are low. you don't need to do. their job but it would. cost on the nerves the water is poison can't be any fish with the tanneries. and our forefathers were fishermen and lived off it we haven't caught anything for seven months now i'm with the still not. the top i don't want to carry on even if there are no more fish we can barely survive. that should look. good joe you see our empty nets oh my. god lives should you know. yet. there's.

the. run. was. a job but. it's only during the rainy season with the fall of fresh water the fishermen could hope to catch a life fish. it would take many years and millions of euros to clean this water goes at a little more than i was that is what i've been eating here for thirteen years on what to resent clean and my husband was a fisherman and we were leaving thanks to him out there today the fish from the bodyguard the is inedible and my husband is out of work if the river were cleaned we could live well from it. to go to the government is responsible for the state of

the boat aground a good long look what happened to it this river runs right through dhaka how could they let this happen and the government does nothing. to human ecological consequences are nothing short of acts tester for. the world trade organization has ruled that all turner is must be brought up to international regulation re standards by two thousand and fourteen but bangladesh finds itself in a catch twenty two situation down to continue developing its booming leather industry and at the same time respond to the health and environmental concerns of its population. to deal with the situation the department of the environment has appointed mr choudary. his mission is to bring the factories up to standard and to sanction the polluting industrialists that's to say ninety nine percent of time. and how can i say that this is. sees that image complicated it's simply challenging

it's simply stressed conan and also follow the race and the engines because. each and every effort and dry after having. we face so much pressure from the industry and owners from the high hopes the feeling complaint about pollution is to challenge tree and scientific team have come to take some samples. yes are you listening to me not all along they did find out which factories are responsible i think belongs to the group led with one to the. money. we've got to get samples. telling did. they buy did the pollution is in grazing there were swimming was over here and how it becomes so that their.

money is money out of how we got those samples on the field. after discovering an exceptionally high level of water pollutants he visits the tender young. begin. coming over here and we found this illegal trade just releasing the docks and water without having to pretend this is going polluting water going to the pound and polluting the agriculture it goes you'll see taking the plants having this really did work there and they'll be made this big and then handed to be ordered to let's go up this dust is very dangerous one of the this factories dust emissions are poisoning us. this it also does that mission from this factory and we have a bigger picture. of a bunny to probably. i think there's

a problem with your water the oxygen levels in it will be low but the smell of money to the water is bad i can tell from that smell. funny wonder can we did a bit help but it would seem your water treatment system isn't working every day i got to put this and i know. you have invested in installing it but it doesn't work . but it did p.p. but it's not functioning and this is this is proof of your failure the oxygen level is very low but i'm going to test it in front of you. that you can pick up it's very poor water it's older and color are so strong in order to. you'll see. this money from practical experience and this is what it is dog free from pollution samples show the level of oxygen dilution in the water to be a zero point four for a fish to survive it should be at nine. but this is a warning so that you correct your errors but i'm going to have to sanction you for

your wrongdoing you'll be closed down if you do nothing but to believe me i've had many factories shut down but you can check what i'm telling you it's in the press. the statutory fine for polluting the environment is ten thousand euros yes this appears this remains more of a threat than actually enforcement of the law. putting to transparency international bangladesh is one of the twenty most corrupt countries in the world in his area bag nine of the largest turner is are owned by government members. after being. approached having our exit. poll. try to take some help from the get free this to. get exemption from our legal action. to try to get some help from the high up. but

. you didn't. know this already. it's the government give scene and the government gives invade easy. money because the. money that. she could leverage jury was able to build a most sophisticated robot which fortunately. mission to teach me the creation why it should care about humans and. this is why you should care only.

appeal. to please speak your language. programs and documentaries in arabic it's all here on. reporting from the world's hot spots the v.o.i.p. interviews intriguing story. is in trouble. because it's. called.

in two thousand and three the supremes called raised the alone ordering the his area back turner is to be relocated and brought up to standard the designated land fifty kilometers from dhaka was intended to accommodate the tanneries as well as a water treatment plant nine years later and still nothing has happened environmental activist dr masterson is working to be known to this project. this

place was a pretty you know it was very clumsy place it is a law and take surely after. setting up a new. town of the city here nobody has filled up this land with. it so people are getting thrilled and that's a damn thing has been done here but. people come here hundreds of people are coming here to see the new place how do developing new ideas not developing at all despite all these commitments from the government all of this is from the government. down to the owners have not not the silverfish and the owner has moved from this there are has surely any need of moving from this place should out there please the reason is that if they go far. and making their. investment environment friendly they probably would have to make

a major contribution with their profit. we don't understand one thing. in just a group can be much stronger than the government when the courts did it good for the gander is have to move within a certain day if they are they have to shed dollars then it was actually the government who are big on behalf of the dead lady owners in the court and the government pleaded for an extension after so you see the gallery owners and the government going to get there in asking for more pain from the court it could have been just the other way around the law. is developing country of one hundred fifty million inhabitants ensures its economical survival thanks to the letter and textile industries which represent eighty percent of the nation's exports the market is booming. production costs in china have doubled over the last five years bangladesh has become the place to go for buyers from the west in two thousand and ten alone as

a production heroes forty percent. the industry supports a multitude of smaller businesses in drying transportation waste intimidation and incineration. approximately one million people live for less than manufacturing and its and syria activities nothing goes to waste in this trade. small skins will become purses and bags. even scraps of flesh fat and died like the remnants of we used. can.

these also cuts destined for the open air factories. yes yes we pick them up with our bare hands. a little bit and what's that. to gauge and it would lever shavings the machines shred them here on it is it going to. make a dent and there are just a bin. then to do anything with that over there or that's the fat we used to make soap and so remote that everything is what we see here is bad i mean these are actually waste so only the waste from the tanneries these are being used for different purposes i mean this is solid and liquid mix used for making

soap but i know from a man you brian who works here is that i mean these big dry trash and deceased actually raw material that you say to turn around for manufacture on three feet much income i was going to do that ok this is a feat for a fish feed and on to take. this bone meal is made from live the leftovers pulled with animal carcasses and beef and trends it's then used to see chickens and also prunes for the european market. jane. want to see. many. options i don't see coming from the city people eating fish and. chicken. paid to these. terrorists to get to my body.

but what you see here is i believe i mean i think of any. or any any any place. eighty open a meal sectarians here built in the middle of town and give those toxic fumes day and night which makes death the most polluted city in the world. can you see the smoke over there what i want to get out of it how long could anyone last here. that take a look at the x. rays of been habitants lungs any of them you'll see they're black or got it under x. ray they appear black. it can't be what i kind of talk that fumes here spread for miles around. or you know me dad. you can smell it you're going to turn up or

not is good north south east or west in a fifteen kilometer radius is it getting stiffer if you can walk and yours the same just. how much do you earn a twenty seven euro's and how long do you work for nonstop survey say they work on this group hour. and in half an adult salary the children of bangladesh also toil for the leather industry to contribute to the nation's economy and to not trivial. holding to the president of the franco bangladeshi chamber of commerce the country's strengths is its works. before we take the bottom of this we continue to stay in the competitive level because we have been a large young force coming into the market there is about two million work force.

coming to market the present infrastructure industry and other infrastructures and private medium and these people are waiting for you know benefit disguised. from them maybe why do you need. two workers where five workers are walking so this is an advantage obama. elicit workers poti made up with child labor those figures enable us to tell how many children a working in the leather industry but they are everywhere despite the fact that bangladesh is a signatory to the international convention on the rights of the child its child labor is not clandestine and.

eighty percent of bangladeshis live on less than two years a day the whole family has to work mothers often have no other choice than to go out to work school is still a luxury for the majority of children here. in his area back over fifty percent of the population is illiterates. and i hope my daughter will grow up to be a good person that she'll have an education that she'll learn to read and write i

want to be able to give her that. the european union contributed two million euros to a number of his area back ten degrees in the aim of producing a cleaner less. announce the results when significant the only means of saving the population in the environment would be to place the tender is outside. of the moves of this kind is costly and would increase production costs by european purchase is prepared to accept such a deal. the saddest thing is that we in this country we need to just realize it

should. not such industrialization because east africa you teach here is really really sad story. but i do have the best i've seen that in a number of cases once the european viewers once the european consumers good about the fact they take a position and that situation to improve. so i would definitely hope that the european consumers would start asking questions so that things heah get improved because in this particular case is if the buyer stake a position that can actually make life difficult for them. carry on. try to understand that or to say. well if.

i didn't say that. can you do you think we're going to be poor all of our lives. as it. doesn't just want to earn more money if you don't need to reach it all ok the sound of.

most of these boys has been couple of the law for violence or for. we drove the window climbed in and tried studded. we pushed it

a little way and here we were drunk. and soon who you're an alcoholic or nearly all of them are homeless orphans with no money or relatives. are you going to manage without me. for a moment but there it felt like i was back but those street hooligans are going to beat me up at any moment. as i turn my back i couldn't help wondering about my safety. isn't a warden is there the father you could say that slava raises us he makes normal people out of ugly duckling. to claim right from the scene. of the first street to live and i think picture.
