Their homes in aleppo government jets rebel targets and spains Prime Minister returns to. His governments campaign ahead of the december election. T. V. Has shown pictures of. Lebanons Prime Minister. As lebanese leaders continue to demand he returns to the country it is just the third time he has been seen since he unexpectedly announced his resignation in the saudi capital eight days ago he hasnt publicly spoken since then there are also gestures hes being held against his will. His bringing up in beirut in a show of support for the absent leader the shock resignation is paid for lebanon at the. And to all the struggle between lebanons iranian backed hezbollah and saudi arabia the lebanese president michel aoun hopes sundays mountain and beirut will help demonstrate unity and solidarity with. Was in a hole that has more now from beirut. The beirut marathon a yearly sporting event that aims to bring people together and it really takes on a whole new meaning this year because of the uncertainty in the country the political vacuum following the sudden resignation of the Prime Minister saad of how do you see over a week ago his faith really is open to question and the people are using this marathon to show solidarity with the with the Prime Minister slogans that we are running for you we are waiting for you there are a lot of questions here on why the Prime Minister has not returned lebanese authorities and many lebanese believe that in one way or another the Prime Minister is the taint in saudi arabia and he has no freedom of movement yes there are some people who believe that he hasnt returned citing security concerns but even in his stronghold his own supporters feel very betrayed by their ally saudi arabia they feel humiliated weve been speaking to people and theyre saying whether you support heavy d. Or you dont the very fact is this is a blow to lebanon a humiliation to lebanon we want the Prime Minister to return home now if and when he does return it doesnt end the political crisis in lebanon theres a very deep divide now the lebanese from across the political divide theyre coming together theres a rare consensus but once once had he does return theyre going to have to tackle contentious issues issues really that are not new for example has well as arms hezbollahs decision to engage in in the war in syria these are issues that divide the lebanese and unless that is resolved and outside players can easily exploit the differences and the fragile unity in this country lets move on to other news for now the u. S. President donald trump has sought to clarify remarks he made about letting a person and russian meddling in last years election he made the comments on the final day of his visit to vietnam before leaving for the philippines when hey reports from hanoi. Two teams dominated Donald Trumps visit to vietnam competing with china for influence in asia and offering conflicting messages about russian influence on his election win last year i believe that president putin really feels and he feels strongly that he did not meddle in our election. What he believes is what he believes what i believe is that we have to get to work and i think everybody understood this that heard the answer hours earlier he spoke off camera with reporters and said Something Different following brief discussions with blood amir putin at the apec summit in downing he said he believes the russian president didnt meddle in the election comments were criticized by some in the United States government intelligence agencies have concluded that there was russian interference in the campaign in his meeting with the vietnamese president in hanoi trump said he believes a strong relationship with russia can help fix the worlds problems we have to get to work to solve syria to solve north korea to solve ukraine itself terrorism its now time to get back to healing a world that has shattered and broken those a very important thing donald trump back some self as a deal maker someone who can make things happen and while much of this trip was about trade and business he also offered to help keep the peace between vietnam and China Vietnam and china are in a long running territorial dispute in the South China Sea along with other neighboring countries donald trump told his vietnamese counterpart. That he could help make things better while also touting u. S. Weapons contracts. Well you. Know. Were. Going to use. Donald trump says hes not interested in multilateral trade deals chinas president xi jinping whos also in vietnams capital says hes not interested in multilateral talks on the South China Sea wayne hay aljazeera hanoi. Lets get more on this now with our correspondent Andy Gallagher hes joining us live from washington d. C. Those comments about russian president Vladimir Putin and russian meddling in the u. S. From action and again its very early there in the states but is this as confusing to people where you are as it is to live here. I mean its confusing to me i was just sitting here twenty four hours ago telling you that President Trump believed that Vladimir Putin had not meddled in the u. S. Election despite the findings of his own Intelligence Community here we are twenty four hours later and hes completely changed his mind is now saying that he believes that Vladimir Putin believes he didnt meddle but hes also now backing his own Intelligence Community now back here domestically the United States and the timing really couldnt be worse because remember the background to all this is Robert Mullers investigation into potential collusion between the trunk campaign and russia rumored remember that his former Campaign Manager paul manifold is currently under house arrest for that investigation and several other indictments of being handed out for his part john mccain the republican senator from arizona who is a. Deeply critical of President Trump has already said that trump is being naive that this is not putting America First when he believes that a mere putin over his own Intelligence Community so it is very confusing for everybody back here in the United States especially given that this investigation is going on and its a very Serious Investigation with far reaching consequences so to summarize we have a president from twenty four hours ago saying he believes russias leader that there was no meddling in the u. S. Elections despite all the evidence and twenty four hours later we now have him back in his own Intelligence Community saying actually im with these guys not with this guy right hes certainly seems determined doesnt seem to have a Good Relationship with russia whys that. I mean thats a good question i think hes shown a deep admiration for Vladimir Putin from the time he was candidate from through to the time that hes now president he says that hes a good man that he has a great relationship with him despite the fact weve only met maybe three or four times but i think a key to all this other problems that President Trump is dealing with at the moment he wants russia on his side to deal with syria he wants russia on his side to deal with north korea and some other problems in europe so he clearly thinks that a partnership with putin and with russia is key to solving some of the worlds problems but what hes essentially doing is really giving his critics here in the United States lots of army nation to say look this is not a president whos putting America First russias clearly does not have the United States interests at hand they are clearly meddling in elections here they want to cause as many problems as they can for the United States so why would we partner up with them in the first place thats not stopping donald trump you know hes forging ahead trying to get this relationship with putin going and trying to do something with russia in the future critics that he called falls and haters and have their latest tweets on the subject well leave it there for now and Andy Gallagher joining us live from washington d. C. Thank you. The philippine president of the a lot of that affair has spoken out about the South China Sea dispute ahead of Donald Trumps arrival and manila and a farm under fire line for valid summer compared there says the issues better left untouched his comments follow trumps offer to mediate already competing maritime claims. And. Results. But their lives. Number. One. The spanish Prime Minister mariano the hole is in question on your for the first time from the Central Government imposed direct will arrive in the region to travel to barcelona to campaign ahead of december as Regional Elections and spanish Central Government to dissolve the cotton and parliament after declared independence last month the whole of praised efforts to honor spanish law and what he called difficult times well lets get more on this now with our correspondent in china how his life arrives in barcelona dont worry very much defending the spanish governments position and how theyve handled this china what else did he have to say. Well look remember this is the first time hes come here to catalonia since as you said the he triggered the never before used article of the constitution section one five five revoking catalonians autonomy sacking the government and then announcing new elections to be held in december is something of a hate figure here in catalonia or at least to a large popular percentage of the population perhaps half the population who support independence and secession who see him as the leader of a government that they blame for oppressing their culture their identity their language and their rights so he was here in this hotel behind me very much preaching to the faithful members of his own party the Popular Party here and the candidate who will be up for that election in december he was calling on the silent majority as they call themselves here the other half of the population who favor the unity of spade to come in big numbers to the polls the hope of course that that will neutralize the Independence Movement here but he also offered this justification explanation for his decision to invoke that section one hundred five of the constitution. Sure except that weve done exactly what any other country that respects itself would have done what would france or germany have done if one of their regions suddenly wanted an autonomous referendum article one five five is there to defend the constitution the law and the general interest when its harmed in a clear manner. So very much preaching to the faithful of preaching to the converted but how have his comments been received by the Pro Independence by the pro independents cant join that is it even possible to neutralize them. Well hes only just made these remarks theyll go out on the Spanish Networks and probably be picked up in catalonia as well and i imagine with that portion of the population it wont go down terribly well the Independence Movement here has suffered a series of pretty severe blows in recent weeks its seen its declaration of independence by the Constitutional Court its government dissolved Holocaust Police to mourn the former president is in exile in belgium and of course the perhaps biggest wound inflicted on them is to see much of their leadership behind bars in madrid eight former government ministers on charges of rebellion and sedition they could face thirty years in jail if theyre convicted and theyre unlikely to be able to be free to campaign in these elections so certainly this is a movement that is wounded but remember three quarters of a Million People came out on the streets of barcelona last Night Saturday night to demand the release of what they describe as Political Prisoners this is certainly not a movement that has gone away. Join up thank you very much for that for now thats the latest from the line of thank you. We have plenty more ahead on the news hour including mass graves of suspected victims are discovered in Northern Iraq. Are is how we deal with not only our own issues but its how we interpret our place in this world and the self described and. Native americans challenging stereotypes through art. And the twenty year football world cup qualifying to out and to go to details but later in sport. Again under heavy bombardment by government warplanes targeting rebel fighters the air raids have forced thousands of civilians to flee the area and set up makeshift camps in the countryside. Near the border between syria and turkey. The war in syria is far from over. The army and air force of president Bashar Al Assad and his allies continue to attack opposition positions in the southern countryside of billable province Regime Forces are advancing to secure an important supply route a highway that connects damascus to aleppo city. Fighters as well as. Which is why there are fighting to retain control of small towns villages. Days of fighting has displaced thousands. We dont have any shelter no tents no cover when we left we didnt take anything the syrian army went after us with airstrikes and now the children sleep there while. Theres no water no power no roads just we move a lot for gods sake have some fun with just the clothes that we wear now were here in a tent and. The used tents are not just for people from so the but also from Hama Province in the north around three thousand people in all. Many here havent seen any help from International Aid organizations because the front line is close by local aid workers say they are doing what they can but dont have enough provisions and. The villages and towns in the southern countryside of aleppo faced a wave of civilians fleeing towards the east or one thousand seven hundred thirty four families from the south and one thousand three hundred families in the northern countryside of after visiting the random camps in the area we evaluate the humanitarian situation as a disaster people need tends to protect themselves from the freezing winter the United Nations says at least one point one million syrians have been displaced in the last year the u. N. Is concerned by the escalation there were strikes in aleppo and it led provinces and is calling for the protection of civilians. The fighting is continuing on the edges of the deescalation agreed by the United States and russia the opposition says that the government is taking advantage of these zones to target them while the government says that is going to go after what it calls terrorist groups and this goes on millions of syrians continue to suffer. In the turkish syrian border. On this now were joined by Richard Whiteley director of the center for political military analysis at the Hudson Institute and hes joining us via skype from washington d. C. Mr watts as always good to have you with us on aljazeera why do you think we are saying these are new government strikes here now. This is not a new development weve seen a pattern over the past few years in which the Syrian Government would take advantage of limited ceasefires and some locations in law and order to concentrate on launch offensive and others and as you know as mentioned your package theres been recent clarification and deepening as some of the no fly no did complection and cease fire zones in certain parts of syria but at this this part of the aleppo province is outside that and so the government is free to concentrate its forces there without violating any International Agreement but why are they doing it now and why at a time you know at the same time that you have this statement from russia saying that there is no military solution in syria and yet these strikes supported by them. I think that the statement that there is no military solution in syria is true a bit in the long term and the short term i think the parties particularly the Syrian Government and russia think that they have an advantage now in are trying to. Basically recapture as much territory we can as much as possible the Syrian Opposition before the geneva an astronaut talks take place so if anything there is going to be a short term uptick in the fighting as the parties rush to prove their positions for any peace talks which is what we always say before any round all of a socalled peace talks to take place and these were this sort of activity from the government the airstrikes they never boiled while for the tolls. Well its not clear the promise is not clear even in the absence of this whether the talks would succeed because of their just so many factors that make it so difficult a number of parties inside the country and outside the fact that there until now one party hasnt had a strict military advantage i think that im actually most worried about whats going to happen after the isis forces are defeated because that statement that was made by the russian and u. S. Governments out and vietnam indicated that they would work to whats on the cease fire are zones in the deconstruction zones as long as a defeat of isis had not occurred but it left very ambiguous what would happen after that and so you almost are inviting the parties to then struggle to you know the Syrian Government and what the iranians will try and cease the territory occupied the u. S. Backed forces and the u. S. And the turks might contravenes actually worry well see an uptick in the fighting before we see anything any time given during Peace Process thats why its great to get your thoughts on this much of what strong as live from washington d. C. Thank you thank you for having me. Now massa graves containing at least four hundred suspected i select them something held in Northern Iraq the flights were discovered near a military base close to the town of her wheelchair and noncon has the latest from the capital baghdad. This fund will be very significant not just for the families but for investigators as well a lot of families are wondering what happened to their loved ones by identifying the bodies within the mass grave theyll be able to get some sort of closure hopefully for investigators this would be a way to find out exactly how many people died and i still rule now this mass grave was found in which is one of the main towns it was in a former military base which allegedly used as an execution ground according to locals now this isnt the first mass grave that the iraqis have found they certainly wont be the last as they go into the areas that i saw used to control and try and dig and look for information on any potential mass grave sites that there are now ive actually seen one of these mass grave sites a couple of them in fact actually up in this enjoy mountains in the north they are very gruesome places to come visit everything has to be kept logs of bones are being dug out of the ground forensic scientists are looking and investigators are looking at what they find just to see how many people actually were killed now in this particular grave were hearing that at least four hundred people had been killed. And Iraqi Military helicopter has crashed during a Training Exercise killing all three people on board the crash happened on iraqs off a province just east of the capital baghdad the course isnt known. Now iran has called behind the allegations that it was involved in an explosion at an oil pipeline absurd and baseless mahane blamed what it called terrorism linked to iran for an explainer closure and body on friday iran has denied any involvement in the accusations childish finger pointing. The u. S. Has joined calls for the Saudi Led Coalition to lift its blockade of yemen but it also says it recognizes the coalitions concerns about stopping the movement to what the rebels the blockade is causing a humanitarian crisis with the u. N. Saying the closure of yemens waters is pushing millions of people close to starvation. For the first time in a decade the people of gaza have marked the anniversary of the death of Yasser Arafats for the last ten years gaza has been run by hamas a faction which on till recently was some opposition to fatah founded last month deal and hamas to your nice men the thirteenth anniversary of arafats death became an occasion to celebrate today paul. Tens of thousands gathered in gaza city to honor Yasser Arafat for many year the late president and longtime leader remains a symbol of palestinian statehood. We love him and its our duty to commemorate his revolution. But this gathering is also a symbol of palestinian unity the first in ten years for fatah founder in hamas controlled gaza last month the two political factions signed an agreement to end the rivalry. It will allow the fatah led government in the west bank to control gaza. Hamas has ruled gaza since it one more parliamentary seats in two thousand and seven. The anniversary of arafat holds pain and hope pain of his death and losing him as he sacrificed himself for palestine and hope which hamas and all of the palestinians want hope of achieving unity and reconciliation and rearranging the internal palestinian house yes or out of lead the Fatah Movement for nearly five decades until his death in two thousand and four from what was reported to be a month long illness but now zero investigation in two thousand and twelve found out a thought was poisoned by radioactive talk since palestinians blame israel for his death an accusation israel has strongly denied but here in gaza they still want answers. At the moment i believe that arafat was assassinated and i demand to investigate his death and find the criminals that they know and was not one of us about we all came children and women young and old people from all over gaza to commemorate a symbol of the palestinian cause us to share them and started seeing yes our fight as a symbol of free people all over the world i think all revolutionaries should commemorate this anniversary with the recent reconciliation of fatah and hamas the onus is now on the current leaders to deliver on the long held hope of a palestinian state. A week from twenty six people were shot dead in a texas church some of the springs are still reeling from the mass shooting has prompted calls once again for stricter gun laws in the u. S. Don estabrook reports. Well told so oklahoma flies flags at half staff mourning the victims of last weeks Texas Church Shooting thousands file into what is billed as the largest gun show in the world take a. Pay gap sign. In the parking lot of this Exhibition Center there are license plates from dozens of states visitors come to buy and sell guns and everyone we spoke to told us the same thing the u. S. Should not pass laws restricting their Second Amendment right to own guns the person behind the gun we need to get back to god before you go you know there are lots of problems because people dont enforce the current statutes really and force them on us for anyone that breaks the law we should stand behind it and convict them and stick but then we werent allowed to take our cameras inside of the gun show but i did go inside and walk around and what i saw were a lot of hunting rifles antique guns and a handful of a ar fifteen which are assault rifles a bill banning assault weapons was introduced in the u. S. Senate last week just days after the texas shooting and last month after the mass shooting at a los vegas concert legislation was introduced banning bunk stocks which allow guns to fire more rapidly so far this year there have been more than three hundred Mass Shootings in the us defined as those which involve four or more deaths or injuries in a single incident but despite that passing tougher gun laws could be taught your job before. Were going to fix the. In states like oklahoma guns are part of the culture dave king has been shooting competitively for decades and now teaches classes like this one king says he doesnt see either side in the gun debate finding Common Ground because the way we see it out here the way the voters see it is youre trying to restrict our Second Amendment rights to us this is a civil rights issue we have the right to defend ourselves all right king says he wants to preserve for his grandchildren die in us to broke out jazeera toso oklahoma. Right it is time for the weather now i just want is that make effect snow rob its a rather clumsy description to snow this cause because the water is warm and the air above it is very cold it happens for example of the great lakes or can see some video of it happens any rare you have to say but this is the time the air when it will happen this is bottom of lake huron and you can just see it spewed few flakes of snow in the breeze there and steam coming off the water now the air is subzero in the waters above zero bit further southwest in chicago this is broad proper snow that fell and obviously this animal has never seen it before and what fun it was now this is a first taste of real winter coming to the Northeast Corner by day the highest temperatures roll subzero around the great lakes chicago to about minus one but the water is not yet frozen now it will be in a month or two stime it will be frozen water this wont happen any more cold air did push its way down towards new york and washington but at this stage we were above freezing and that cold really didnt go subzero except briefly overnight and the picture now is not particularly wintry this is still the cold betty here as you can see behind that cold front with temperatures here still not minus five going to peg and plus five in chicago to warming up a little bit style of snow still left to come today from the great lakes and also in the northwest corner particularly washington oregon and probably even into the who as well but generally speaking the picture over the whole of the u. S. Is an improving one with temps on the eastern side slowly rising to nine or ten degrees elizabeth.

News has never been more available its a constant barrage of it with every day but the message is a simplistic you have the brain a good logical rational people versus crazy monsters and misinformation is rife dismissal and denial of well documented accusations and evidence is part of genocide the listening post provides a critical counterpoint trying to bring Mainstream Media narratives of this time on aljazeera. Sometimes pictures in the only way to truly to a story and. Goes the extra to some of the latest in camera gear and technology to make sure these images are. To be. Just. With. The political refugees. Been aware of different kinds of stories in the. Space for the. Good to have you with us on the. Top stories state t. V. Has shown pictures of. Lebanons Prime Minister as lebanese leaders continue to demand return to the country but he hasnt returned to beirut or made any Public Comments and on expectedly announcing his resignation and riyadh eight days ago. U. S. President on trump says he accepts his countrys intelligence assessments of russian meddling in last years Election Campaign part that he accepts president very near putins denial of kremlin involvement and rebel fighters in syria are again under heavy bombardment by government warplanes thousands of civilians have fled days of bombing in aleppo province the United Nations says its concerned by the continuous Bombing Campaign involving Government Forces backed by russia. Now the other diplomatic rift in the region involved in saudi arabia as the crisis here in. The home of the sixth arrives on sunday for an official visit after visiting the u. A. E. And. Come from the back drop off the gulf crisis the saudi arabia the United Arab Emirates bahrain and egypt have cut diplomatic ties with qatar our correspondent question i had bought it as following the story he is joining us live from doha is that the moroccan king offering to mediate the gulf crisis hashim. Elizabeth the crisis is definitely going to top the agenda of the meeting between the king of morocco and the emir of qatar is the start of the crisis morocco says that it will maintain a contract of neutrality in the conflict meaning that they are willing to negotiate a settlement or brokered a deal if all the parties expressed a desire for morocco to step in and also morocco kingstons in june his top in the middle point of fairness to kuwait which were which is mediating the crisis to update him on the latest developments i think this is something that the moroccans would like to further explore for Different Reasons they would like to see whether these an opportunity here for a compromise or negotiations between all the parties that could pave the way to a settlement and also end to the crisis that has been going on for quite some time now and that in that time how should they have been many other countries that have offered that have tried to mediate very have failed can the moroccan king achieve anything here. Well basically morocco has the king of morocco has very strong ties with the oil family in this part of the world and i think they would like to tap into those relations to try to ask all the parties to set aside their differences this is number one number two morocco has been a key ally of the main g. C. C. Countries its been involved in some of the most critical stages of the cooperation between all the parties is also an active member of the Saudi Led Coalition in yemen and you saw it has also been playing very. Instrumental roles in the past dont also for gas elizabeth that saudi arabia the u. A. E. And qatar are key investors a morocco they have been contributing billions of dollars in investments and aid to morocco over the last two years this explains why the moroccans first of all would like to not to take sides in this conflict number two they would like to see all these countries set aside their differences and move forward is going to be good news for morocco and is going to be good news for the region i think what is going to happen in the coming hours when the king of morocco and they meet of qatar thought of their talks is basically they have tried to the king of morocco with try to explore whether theres any possibility for. For i lead in this conflict then i think he will bear the consult with the. And also with. Kuwait from saudi arabia and see whether there is a possibility. Has made it quite clear that hes willing to play an active role here to solve this crisis although they do understand that the americans. Are trying to hope to get all the parties to negotiate a settlement is going to be a very delicate task for the king of morocco thank you very much for that for now thats the latest from doha thank you. The effects of the battle to retake mosul from i assume the still being felt for more than mine thousand families who remain living in camps many of those who fled the fighting have been staying in camping at bay and the director for the eastern mosul camp says most of the displaced are too scared to return home because of the presence of groups in the area that also accuse baghdad of not doing enough to provide aid to those in need.

Now the battle of jobs versus the environment is raging in northern greece as one of the countrys largest Foreign Investors threatens to pull out canadian mining group Eldorado Gold almost suspended operations last month saying the government is causing delays and cost in that millions but as johns robonaut supports the government says its trying to protect the environment. Two hundred and seventy meters below sea level these men are digging for gold eight million ounces of it a thought to be hidden in these rocks with more than ten billion dollars which would make greece europes biggest gold producer and there are billions more in silver copper lead and zinc but these which is arent yet within reach the government hasnt consistently worked through the permits as required under a contract and under regulations here in greece and weve suffered our share price is significantly down compared to our peers in the predominant issue is our investments in greece have not proceeded as planned el dorados shares have fallen by more than half this year this mill should already be crushing rock instead its waiting for permission to build walls and a roof to house the machinery and now the citys a government has taken the company to court because its only completed two thirds of its one and a half billion dollar investment its the sort of behavior that is putting off other potential investments in greece and losing cities our votes down here. Id like the government to come here and see what we do what we produce and see with our own eyes that we can achieve for the National Economy if they do away with my salary today tomorrow there wont be any income for the very people in government. This is the growth greece is looking for salaries here average about fifteen hundred dollars and that twenty four hundred workers monthly payroll of about three and a half Million Dollars that kind of money creates an entire economy on the surface but cities are says its not the only economy. These people will work for twenty or thirty years this isnt a sustainable form of development for the area or it will eventually run out what will remain for the future generations yes this entire valley will become an open cast mine pit half a kilometer deep once that happens says farming and tourism wont stand a chance but mining is the biggest driver of the local economy and at full swing this operation would give the government half a billion dollars a year in taxes for a quarter century and double the size of the Mining Industry to seven percent of g. D. P. Cities at once those taxes but it wants the votes to win the last election the environmental vote defeated the mining vote next time around the tables could turn jump start up a loss in the cassandra mines of northern greece. The coal mines and steel plants and germanys rove agent have powered the country for more than a century but since the industrial had fallen to decline one of its major cities is now looking to tourism to recharge its a colony that clock reports from s. And. His stands a ghostly relic to a time now just one of the largest Industrial Monuments in europe the silver and coal mine the last miners descended the shaft in one thousand nine hundred six but in this time zone verein was a key cog in the german economic machine for many going underground was a way of life the region was the beating heart of the nations industry its coal mines and on and steel plant the country for more than one hundred years. This is the largest of the regions disused coal mines and back in the day it employed eight thousand people around the clock producing twenty three thousand tonnes of coal every twenty four hours now you know ask a World Heritage site and the old coal washing the room. Where once machinery thundered and tens of millions of tons of coal were processed now thats an impressive curation of the regions history we thought for people who came from outside to build one place to have a window to look in the history of this region beginning at three hundred and fifty million years ago when cold starts to exist today to the present so these days there mining the tourist dollar sees one and a half million visitors a year bringing in more than sixty five million euros. Seventy. And i think very important. And like a lot of money. Everybody can come here today and it just wasnt the line in the. A process in green space now blankets much of the citys industrial past with here and there a looming reminder this fight back against environmental degradation has led to the e. U. Naming the city as a European Green capital for two thousand and seventy when. We are a model for change how to create something when a complete branch of industry breaks away first we are interesting for europe and the rest of the world however crisis or evolve the chance and we are now entering a green decade. Of course is not all good news despite some Major Energy Companies still being based or local unemployment remains high at nearly eleven percent but there was a time when the river was a toxic flow now its a stunning clean i mean its with no end of profitable potential by honoring its Industrial Heritage while shaking off the coal dust and looking to tourism this is start city may just reinvent itself. Clark aljazeera essen germany. Now a sailing boat made entirely out of recycled Ocean Plastics and flip flop for being built on kenyas coast its being assembled using two hundred thousand five hundred flip flops and twenty five tons of Plastic Waste from the ocean and once completed itll make history as the first point built entirely out of recycled Ocean PlasticKatherine Sawyer went to see it. It may look like an ordinary boat being built on the shores of the indian ocean. Along came this coast but theres nothing normal about this boat. So.
