dr renad mansour, project director of the iraq initiative at chatham house, said the protestors‘ ultimate in iraq. it was for many seen that the next fault line, the iraq that we once thought was a fault line between sunnis and shias and kurds has actually shifted to a fault line between a majority of the population and the rulers. the rulers who have ruled since 2003 without any accountability and also without any ability to provide basic services. so, over the past few years, iraqis have really realised that the only voice they have is not in the ballot boxes or going to parliamentarians, but through protests. so they have gone to the streets to protest, famously last year in basra and this year in baghdad, but something has changed and violence has entered into the equation. what we‘ve seen in baghdad is over 150 people earlier in the month being targeted and killed by the state security forces and their paramilitary allies. so the situation is tense, and the sort of post—2003 iraqi state is on the brink at the moment as most of these protesters, they don‘t call for the end of one lead

patrick schroeder, senior research fellow in the energy, environment and resources department, chatham housee now. so, why do you think india is facing such a huge problem with plastic? plastic waste is a very big problem for india. the country generates about 10 million tonnes of plastic waste each year, and only about 40% of this is not managed. it means it is either littered or openly burned, so is either littered or openly burned, so it is not only an environment issue but also a public health concern. when prime minister modi announced he wants to prevent a ban on single use plastic, the government has realised this is an issue that needs to be tackled. the question is, it is easy to announce a ban, but difficult to implement it, as we have seen. absolutely, it seems like the indian government has rowed back from imposing this outright ban that some people were expecting. why do you think that is? because lots of businesses have been lobbying, saying actually it is going to be very difficult, at a time when prime minister modi's emphasis is also on job creation? the plastic industry is
