up polluting the river. haven't you noticed the state of the berg anger 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. thank you think this event is there life say no this is only a walk of i guess street. and people know how guy dependent on this for a number of trees this we just saw some of which i believe i do if i get there 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 the small town every specialized in dying skins is unconcerned by the hazards his activity gives rise to. the owner of this evacuation system has been in use for a long time. it is a dirty water inevitably goes into the river. there's nowhere else for it to go that's the way it is. bankrolled the job it would naturally flow into the river. thief of course water containing chemicals is bad for the health care about the robot would have been available 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 create what i cannot. 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 turner is 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 cases are all pretty yeah and they're all factories. releasing their three did we waste. seventy per cent of the total for the show and that is the cost of this river is coming from the ten. dumping chromium me to their lever waka and it's very difficult to take chromium out of your system. if you're such a sucker is contaminated with chromium and if it is contaminated activity that you can't even cure it that means you're actually exposing the entire population of the

city enjoy a very deadly n.s.e. just. to turn loose of 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 the river difficult. has been confirmed dead. fish out here. that are low. you don't give you don't. have. the whole machinery show but that would. was the water is poisoned

there can't be any fish with the tanneries. tell you our forefathers were fishermen and lived off it we haven't caught anything for seven months now what the film. was going to carry on even if there are no more fish we can barely survive. those would look. to do all you see are empty nets although you know what. was. good news. yes there. was. the. run. but. it's only during the rainy season with the fall of freshwater the fishermen

couldn't hope to catch a life fish. it would take many years and millions of euros to clean this water though you didn't really. think i think. that is 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 over today the fish from the begun to is inedible and my husband is out of work if the river were cleaned well could leave well from it. to go to the government is responsible for the state of the buddha gone look what happened to it or not this river runs right through how could they let this happen and the government does nothing. the human ecological consequences are nothing short of x. test of. the world trade organization has ruled that alternative is must be brought up to in. the national regulator the standards by two thousand and fourteen.

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 to do much complicated chimney challenger steam express conan and also follow the race and then trends because. each in their benefit and dry after having. we raise so much pressure from the destroyer owners from the high ups following complaint about pollution mr

choudary and scientific team have come to take some samples. no longer yes are you listening to me not all along they do find out which factories are responsible i think a bunch of the group led with what do the. money. we've got to get samples. telling. you to buy did the pollution is increasing there were swimming once over here how it becomes so why is it that there. are already money and money out of how we got those samples. on the field. after discovering an exceptionally high level of water pollutants he visits the turner. coming over here we found this little. craig did this releasing the dogs to go out

there without having to mend this leg in polluting what they're going to be. and polluting the agriculture the cows you'll see taking the plants having this really did work there and they'll do made this into the candle stick to be ordered to 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 but the oxygen levels in it will be low with the smell if i need to the water is bad i can tell from it smell. funny and 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 d.p.p. but you start 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 put it 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 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 that's how 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 straight line actually in full support of the law. quoting to transparency international

bangladesh is one of the twenty most corrupt countries in the world in his very bag nine of the largest tanneries are owned by government members. after being in a law is a pretty heavy no or it can be told try to take some held high ups to get create this banal to. get to them from our legal action. they tried to get some help from now i have to say but . they didn't allow all these unlawful already more than every day it's the government give scene and the government gives invade the city because they get to be on their money because the danity owners hallow it but and then we punish them money that can. process enforcing the law like.

there's a nine story building i noticed that standing on a true for was a man in civilian clothes holding a sniper rifle. to say something that offends so they lied to the news blanco wooden shells on the building was burning through my how much time it took to restore it. reloaded for yeltsin in the referendum of the deputies of the supreme soviet didn't appeal to us out all we had to support yeltsin otherwise it would have been civil war.

lead. wealthy british style. market. town don't find out what's really happening to the global economy with. no holds barred global financial headlines to conjure a report. in two thousand and three the supremes called raised the alarm

bordering the has very bad tanneries to be relocated and brought up to the designated land fifty kilometers. was intended to accommodate the tanneries as well as a water treatment plant nine years later and still nothing has happened environmental activist dr masson is working to be launched this project. this place was a baby you know it was pretty clumsy place it is a truly. setting up and. has filled up to. it so people of getting thrilled and i think has been done by three. hundred people are coming to see the new place which is developing it is not developing at all despite all this commitments from the government although this is from the government down the dealers have not

not the sellers and the owner has moved from this has shown any need of moving from this place should out. 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 and we don't understand one thing. industry group can be much stronger than the government when the courts directed the can there is have to move within a certain day if there are they have to show dollars then it was actually the government who appeared 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. this 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 bangladesh has become the place to go so biased from the west in two thousand and ten alone the production heroes by 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 it sensibly 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 of we used. thank you. these all scots a destined for the open air factories. yes yes we pick them up with our bare hands. a little bit and what's left of it to gauge it would never shavings the machines shred them here on it is it going to. make a dent and. i think that's the bin i'm going to do anything with that over there

that's the fat we used to make soap and it's only one of everything is what we see here is bad i mean these are actually waste so leave the waste from the families these are being used for different purposes i mean this is solid liquid mix used for making soap but i know from man not you brian is that i mean these big dry trash and she's actually raw material that she's trying to turn around for manufacture on three feet much income i wasn't that ok.d. she said feet fish feet and bones you think. this bone meal is made from laissez leftovers pulled with animal carcasses and beef and trails it's then used to feed chickens and also prunes for the european market.

jane. want to see. many. options i don't see how they can see people eating fish and. chicken. maybe we. have never seen you get 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 both toxic fumes day and night which makes death the most polluted city in the world. when you see the smoke over there going to be 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. it can't be what i kind of talk that 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 because and yours the same just. how much do you earn a twenty seven euro's and how long do you work for nonstop for they 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 do no trivial.

holding to the president of the franco bangladeshi chamber of commons the country's strengths is its works. before we take the bottom of this we continue to stay in the company of leverage because we have been allowed young forth coming into the market there is about two million work force. coming to market the present infrastructure industry and other infrastructures and private media and these people are going for you know benefit disguised employment maybe why do you need. two workers there five workers are walking so this is an advantage obama. elicit workers poti made up of child labor those figures enable us to tell how many children

a working in the leather industry that 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 illiterate. test. 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 who is in the aim of producing a clean alysa announce the results when significant the only means of saving the

population in the environment would be to place the tanneries outside. the moves of this kind is costly and would increase production costs by 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 the cheap here is really really sad story. was i do the best i've seen that in a number of cases once the european view is once the european consumers i thought about the fact to take a position and that situation to improve. so i would definitely hope that the european consumers would start asking questions so that tayseer get improved because in this particular case is if the buyer stake

a position that trying to actually make life difficult for them. than anyone. else. try to understand that we're just such a. lovely. kind of a player. can you think we're going to be poor all of our lives. i just want to earn more money at you don't need to be reach it all ok let us out of.

some mathematicians at the swiss federal institute of technology have given us a very precise answer they did a study of who owns and controls the companies on the capital markets forty three thousand companies and they found out that there's a secret super entity they call it that owns sixty percent of the earnings every year and forty percent of the assets they did this by putting the same people on the boards of these companies so they have ten times the economic power that they're entitled to and they thought no one would catch them at it this is a huge conglomerate that has been rigging the library prices it's been rigging all of the commodities prices it's been trading in the securities markets with insider information it has got to be stopped it also bought up all the media and has been lying to people deliberately.

put it under for the moment like the bank commune policy i think you. you know. pleasure to have you with us here on t.v. today i'm researcher. after decades of prosecuting a covert in poxy war against iran can washington change its behavior many in washington have dismissed obama's all branch out of hand many in iran are just as mistrustful is this quest for peace a fool's errand. real

damage and complexity of this oil spill was not something you can grasp just by looking at dirty birds we have between four to five million people in this directly affected area of the coast and it's pretty clear why it's not being reported because b.p. can't afford to have a reported all along the gulf coast are clean they are safe and they're open for business if b.p. is the single largest oil contributor to the pentagon the us war machine is heavily reliant upon b.p. and their oil this is a huge step backwards for the marker c. it's a step forward. carex it is toxic is a look a lot like spraying in vietnam it was a it was not a picture that either the government or b.p. really wanted to have out there i don't want dispersants to be the agent. of
