live. the. rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want. a little leg. as area bag is classified as one of the world's thirty most polluted sites it's tanneries are an auslan out ecological disaster playing 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 lings penetrating the soil and filtering down to contaminate the water tables. the brewery gangle 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 dumps directly into the river with no purification. i this event is there life saying no this is the only what i

want to get really strong. and the plan of attack i dependent on this is reversed for a number of theories this we just saw some of which i believe i do if i get there by the end there will be. if. we wash ourselves here but. as 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 them this filthy water. just like many others the owner of this small town to respect dying skins is unconcerned by the hazards his activity gives rise to. the dome 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 really judge it would naturally flow into

the river. thief of course water containing chemicals is bad for the health probability bubble 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 need the factory owners 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 you see the washed polluted area that i have ever seen in bangladesh and in many other countries. maybe maybe a hundred games for yet and then all the factories. releasing. three did we waste. seventy per cent

of the total position that is being caused to these revert is coming from the ten. don't be creamy any today either what does and is very difficult to take chromium out the fiesta stuff. if you're such a slacker is contaminated with chromium and if it is contaminated after living that you can't even cure rate that means you're actually exposing the entire population of the city into very deadly n.s.e. just. to tell you is 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. has been concerned. that a low. bid. you know you don't. show but that would. mean the end of the water is poison can't be any fish with the tanneries. and you our forefathers were fishermen and lived off it we haven't caught anything for seven months now the film. was to carry on even if there are no more fish we can barely survive. that should look. into all you see are empty nets oh my. god lives should use the. yes it. was.

the. but. it's only during the rainy season with the fall of fresh water the fishermen can hope to catch a life fish. it would take many years and millions of euros to clean this water though did a little more than i have that is what i have been eating here for thirteen years when i want to resign clean and my husband was a fisherman and we were leaving thanks to seem that on today the fish from the what it is inedible and my husband is out of work if the river were cleaned or could

leave well from it. not 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 an ecological consequences are nothing short of a catastrophe. 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 it's easy is it a much complicated task to meet your lending. family stress and also follow the race and then trends because. you. they have been in dry after having. we faced so much pressure from the industry owners from the high hopes to pulling complaint about pollution to cho 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 like the one to the. money. we've got to get samples. telling did. they buy did the pollution is increasing

they were swimming once over here and how it becomes so that their. money is money out of how they got those samples on the field. after discovering an exceptionally high level of water pollutants he visits the tender young. begin. coming over here we found this illegal trade did this releasing the dog sick water without having treatment is a plague in polluting water going to be found and polluting the agriculture it goes you'll see taking the plants having this body did what i did and i did made this big and handed it to be audited let's go up this dust is very dangerous one of those factories dust emissions are poisoning us. this it also doesn't it mission from this factory and we are not being affected.

by need to proclaim i think there's a problem with your water the oxygen levels in it will be low with the smell of money to the waters but i can tell from that smell. funny when the camera did a bit up that it would seem your water tree. system isn't working every day i've got to get this and i know. you've invested in installing it but it doesn't work. but it d.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. right 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 that 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 there this is

a warning so that you correct your errors but i'm going to have to sanction you for your wrongdoing but 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. to start treaty fine for polluting the environment is ten thousand euros yes appears this remains more of a straight 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 tanneries are owned by government members. after being. approached having already been. told try to take some help from the get rid of this banality. good example from our legal action. to try to get some help from the high hopes so

but. they didn't allow this unlawful already more than everything else the government gives and the government gives invade easy because they get heavy on their. money because the damage the owners have with but and then weeping is the money that can. process and foresee going. it looks like. we're going to go digital the price is the only industry specifically mention in the constitution and. that's because a free and open process is critical to our democracy shrek albus. role. in fact the single biggest threat facing our nation today is the corporate takeover of our government and i was proud to mco we've been hijacked trying handful of

transnational corporations that will profit by destroying what our founding fathers one still just my job market and on this show we reveal the big picture of what's actually going on in the world we go beyond identifying the problem to try rational debate a real discussion critical issues facing up to find a job ready to join the movement then welcome the big picture. i know c.n.n. the m.s.m. b c fox news have taken some not slightly but the fact is i admire their commitment to cover all sides of the story just in case one of them happens to be accurate. that was funny but it's close in for the truth and might take. off. goods because one full attention and the mainstream media works side by side the

joke is actually on here. coming up. at our teen years we have a different pretty. good though because the news of the world just is not this funny i'm not laughing dammit i'm not going to. have. you guys stick to the jokes i will hand over the stuff that i've got to. in two thousand and three the supremes called raised the alarm 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 relaunch this project. this place was a pretty you know it was a pretty clumsy place it is a law and security discussion of setting up a new identity city here. has filled up this land with. art so people are getting thrilled and that's a damn thing has been done here but really. people come here hundreds of people are coming here to see the new place how we do developing new ideas not developing at all despite all these commitments from the government although this is just from the government. down there you know in there is have not not this and the owner has moved from this there are has shown any need of moving from this place without the

fees the reason is that if they go for. 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 show 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 coming to get there in asking for more pain from the court it could have been just how do you know the law. is developing country of one hundred fifty million inhabitants in shows it's 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 and the dish has become the place to go so buyers from the west in two thousand and ten alone there's a production heroes but forty percent of 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 it sincerely activities nothing goes to waste in the straight. small skins will become purses and bags. even scraps of flesh fat and died less a remnant we used. these

also cuts a distance from the open air factories. that yes yes we pick them up with our bare hands. 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 not enough of the been. there to do anything with that over there or that's the fat we used to make soap and so we want it 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 salt water i know from man not you brian who watches that i mean these big dry trash and this is actually raw material that is trying to turn around for manufacture on three feet much income at the last minute that he sees defeat fish feed and to think. this bone meal is made from less the leftovers pulled with animal carcasses and beef and trails it's then used to see chickens and also prunes for the european market. jane. want to see. many. chances to see

chemical missing people eating fish and. chicken. jade goody's we. have terrorists to get you to my body. but what you see here is time labor i mean i think of any. or any any any place. eighty open air bone meal factories here built in the middle of housing and give those toxic fumes day and night which makes dhaka the most polluted city in the world. when you see the smoke over there what i want to say about how long could anyone last here does that take a look at the x. rays of inhabitants lungs any of them you'll see they're black under x.

ray they appear black. a candid moment by the talks of fumes here spread for miles around. 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 to get them on 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 bridge. and in half an hour don't salary the children of bangladesh also toil for the leather industry to contribute to the nation's economy and do not trickle. holding to the president of the franco bangladeshi chamber of commons the country

strengths is its work songs. the beef with that bomb of this will continue to stay in the competitive level because we have been allowed young labor force coming into the market every year there's about two million workforce. that come into the market in the present infrastructure of industrial and other infrastructures and employ of a million. people for you know benefit disguised employment maybe where you need. to workers there are five workers are walking. this is an advantage obama the. elicit workers party made up of 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

laborers are not clandestine. eighty percent of bangladeshis live on less than two euros 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 illiterate.

and i hope my daughter will grow up to be a good person not that she'll have an education that i shall 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 turner it's in the aim of producing a clean alyssa announce the results when significant the only means of saving the population in the environment would be to place the tender is outside. the moves of

this kind is costly and would increase production costs for european purchases prepared to accept such a deal. the saddest thing is that we in this country we need industrialisation but not such industrialization because the effect of each teacher is really really sad story. because i do have the best i have seen that in a number of cases once the european view is once the european consumers are good about the fact they take a position and that situation to improve here in bangladesh so i would definitely hope that the european consumers would start asking question so that things get improved because in this particular case is if the buyer stake a position that can actually make life difficult for them. carry on.

now. and i do. understand that we're just. love you. have a life it. can you think we're going to be poor all of our lives. i don't mean it that hasn't happened but it doesn't mean i just want to earn more money but you don't need to be reach. all of that out.
