accurately of course this like any project which sounds nice on paper is all about the implementation so we'll see how these deputies and militias will work overall i think this won't have much of an effect on crime but it could have a huge impact on non-criminal bad public behavior you know i am not the bravest guy on the planet and it's hard to confront a group of five drunk guys who are just as big as you who are acting like idiots on the street but doing so with ten stone sober militia men bodies could provide a much more convincing argument for the drunkard's this could be a big step forward for democracy when you actually have at least a scrap of power control over the events in your neighborhood then you're sure feel like people actually have a lot of power and this could be good for the country but that's just my opinion. after decades of prosecuting a covert proxy war against iran can washington change its behavior many in
1:30 pm
washington have dismissed obama's old branch out of hand many in iran are just as mistrustful is this quest for peace a fool's errand. his area bag is classified as one of the world's thirty most polluted sites it's ten there is an ecological disaster playing to waste everything around them every day the factories belch full fifteen thousand cubic meters of toxic refuse leaving it to pile up into housing and along the river bank. the demand soon the waste floods into two endings penetrating the soil and filtering down to contaminate the water tables. the brewery getting the river flows through the slum is paying the highest price. the tanneries used vast amounts of water millions of liters of water it was quiet.
1:31 pm
wash treats and tender skins. this water goes into the sewers. it is no longer useful you know that it is discarded. it ends up polluting the river. haven't you noticed the state of the burgan the 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. think. this event is there life saying no this is only a walk up i guess it comes to tackle and people are not dependent on this rebirth
1:32 pm
for a number of cities this we just saw some of which are believed by defy the affair by the lead their way. 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 them 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 one 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. that will the judge it would naturally flow into the river. thief of course water containing. chemicals is bad for the health.
1:33 pm
of the bubble but if we worried about toxicity it would stop working. to go bowden is ready to do that. but in this country the polluters the factory owners polluting they don't pay for the cleanup. 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 tender ways of his area back. i think that that situation has become waters. washed polluted area that i have ever seen in bangladesh and in many other countries. maybe maybe a hundred forty yet and all the factories. releasing. treated liquid waste. seventy percent of the total position that is being caused to this river is coming from the ten
1:34 pm
industries dumping chromium into their either walked up and it's very difficult to take chromium out of your system. if you so face worker 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 this city into a very deadly n.s.e. . to turn loose of poisoned the city's entire canal system. was the main all to have to. drink 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. how
1:35 pm

1:36 pm
was. the. we used to run. but. it's only during the rainy season with the form of fresh water the fishermen couldn't hope to catch a life fish. it would take many years and millions of euros to clean this water that you didn't really. think i think. that is i've been living here for thirteen years when i went 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 going. good long look what happened to it this river runs right through
1:37 pm
dhaka how could they let this happen and the government does nothing. the human ecological consequences are nothing short of x tester of. the world trade organization has ruled that alternative 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. how can i say that it's easy is it a much complicated. challenger. family stress and also follow the race
1:38 pm
and then trends because. each in their benefit dry after having. we face so much pressure from the industry and owners from the high yields falling complaint about pollution is to challenge really intense scientific team have come to take some samples. no longer yes are you listening to me not our long defined which factories are responsible i think a belongs to the group led with what do the. money. we've got to get samples. telling this. young boy did the pollution is in grazing there were swimming was over here how it becomes so why isn't there. fairview. money is money out
1:39 pm
of how we got those samples only. after discovering an exceptionally high level of water pollutants he visits to turner he. began. coming over here we found this illegal trade that this releasing of the docs acquired there without having paid this is in polluting water going to the family and polluting the agriculture because he will see taking the plants having this but he did what i did and i'll do made this into the candle stick to be ordered to let's go up this dust is very dangerous one of the this factories dust emissions are poisoning us to this it also does to mission from this factory and we are not being affected. by need to proclaim i think there's a problem with your water will be oxygen levels and it will be low with the smell
1:40 pm
of money to the waters but i can tell from that smell. funny wonder they can we did a bit up but it would seem your water treatment system isn't working every day i got to get this and i know. you have 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 cut i'm going to test it in front of you. i think 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 don't free from pollution samples show the level of oxygen dilution in the water to be zero point four for fish to survive it should be at nine. but they have this is a warning so that you correct your errors but i'm going to have to sanction you for your wrongdoing but if you. close down if you do nothing but what to believe me
1:41 pm
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 this appears this remains more of a threat than actually full sprint 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 already. been told try to take some held high hopes to get. this a. good example from our legal action. to try to get some help from the i have some but. didn't blow
