Its 7 00am in singapore and midnight in london. Scientists have discovered particles of plastic falling in snow in the arctic, highlighting the shocking scale of plastic pollution. A region long thought to be pristine is contaminated with microscopic particles, which are carried on the winds from thousands of miles away. Our environment analyst Roger Harrabin travelled to the artic circle as the research was being carried out. Heres his special report. The arctic, a place of pristine beauty. Smothered with snow, clean and pure. Or, thats how it appears. But its an illusion. Arctic snow is tainted with microplastics and rubber particles and clothing fibres. Given the amou
Dr Melanie Bergmann led the research. First stage involves a bit of low technology. A dessert spoon and a flask. I think were not treating our planet very thoughtfully.

Yes. Thank you very much for your comments and reports. Item 6, proposed Commission Rules to provide an administrative appeal in certain disciplinary cases. Deputy City Attorney brad russi to provide an overview. Thank you very much. Welcome, mr. Russi. I know that the commission has information in their doc ketskets, with that, in terms of item six, do you wish to proceed . Sure. Good morning commissioners and good morning chief. We have two items that relate to disciplinary process. Ill talk about the first one first.
