Powers of law. And judge Scientists Say theyve made a breakthrough in their ambitious project to clean up the Great Pacific garbage patch a floating mass of plastic trash 3 times the size of france. Its good to have you with us it has been another day of killing in iraq the country facing its worst crisis since the defeat of socalled Islamic State 2 years ago today Security Forces opened fire on protesters in the capital baghdad as a greek again flooded the streets 10 people were killed today the death toll in 4 days of unrest in l. Stands at more than 50. Protesters rushed to take one of their own to safety. And they flee as the sound of sniper fire ricochets through the streets and again. Theyre desperate enough to risk their lives because they feel the state has failed them were those that are. Not going to protesting because we are suffering theres no electricity no jobs people are dying of starvation its a curse. On the rest has spread rapidly across the country this week without any apparent leadership or connection to a political or sectarian movement in response to the protests the government has shut down the internet and imposed around the clock curfew in the capital. The government says its trying to improve iraqis lives despite sending snipers into the streets the Prime Minister called for patience at the how the who in a country is going through a sensitive time i speak to you openly so that the security situation does not lead to the destruction of the entire state what will. A spokesman for the countrys most influential shia cleric urge the government to listen to the protesters demands woud not ignore the you know you lead authorities are betting that the demands will decrease you know not what they should know that reform is an inevitable necessity even if the calls for reform decrease for the time being then they will return stronger and much more widespread than this and. The Iraqi Government has barely held on through years of sectarian turmoil the question now is whether it can survive an uprising thats not based on religion or belief but deep dissatisfaction. Oh im joined now by my colleague of mir was always an iraqi journalist hes reported extensively from the country its good to see you again i want to ask you the Prime Minister there. Can his government survive what we just saw happening on the streets i think its difficult to say hes going to survive it is a question of time whether it is week or a year we are facing a dark day in iraq because people killing in the street just because calling for their demands or months of unemployment reducing unemployment and. Fighting corruption in iraq spent about 450000000. 00 from 2005 to now for infrastructure and nothings happened and of course people say enough is enough why is the government there taking such a strong wind here i mean theyre using wind ammunition and firing on protesters were not talking about months and months of unrest and violence were talking about something thats been going on for 4 days you know when the military when the Security Services quite nervous because there is some indication or information from some parties believe that this could be a tool of some something foreign an influence from saudis or from an american something that this they become a nervous and they become easy tool to shut down that protest its really sad to see that Bad Development in iraq and you know this is basically floating on oil i mean it is it has rich rich reserves of oil and yet you wouldnt know it by looking at the streets of baghdad why is this disconnect still they are. Corruption and corruption and again the corruption when you put. Some programs on the paper and you want to see that thats on the grow nothing is happening because the funds go in the pockets of some politicians the people you. Still. When some politician influenza nothink happened since 2005 to know people still remembering the title of saddam although they hate him and they wish that time to go to come back because at least they have stability at these they have some somehow a Public Service now we dont have that level of that Public Service and the approach of so far been limited to largely shia arab parts of the country the one about the sudanese and the kurds why are they not joining in this in these are tired from the fighting Islamic State all the cities birds the majority of that. Living in the tents and also they are afraid if they go to the street the government could call them that they would like to call back is them satan and supporters and so on thats why they have enough problems to do with that they just want to survive in their cities just came outside from the fire. I mean was always always we appreciate your insights thank you thank you very much. Well thousands of protesters have returned to hong kong streets despite Emergency Powers invoked by the government many are still wary of the sort of facemask that have been banned under a law that took effect a few hours ago for testers could face up to a year in jail for wearing full or partial face coverings. Its the most prominent symbol of the protests demonstrators have been wearing face masks since the beginning of the prodemocracy movement in hong kong to avoid punishment by the government masks like these are commonly available at pharmacies there are rare defense against a widespread use of facial Recognition Software by the Chinese Government and thats a nuisance for the authorities and your problem is the identification of the suspects who would commit to many offenses such as criminal damage or just raw years Unlawful Assembly wounding up people so many of them. Will be able to avoid detection because of the matter and i think it must admit that local time on friday a ban on facial masks took effect in hong kong along with other emergency regulations. We believe that the new law will create a deterrent effect against must violent protesters and rioters and we assist the police and as Law Enforcement protesters are so far unfazed by the new ban. The block of. The quote the asterisk with did they use. The link use the. Silly was there it must or the tomorrow they can use this operating shall think and ring true that deprives us of allah. The anger among protesters if anything only mounted that we can just like you to see new clashes more. We need to be used to return drugs you know and here it is from hong kong shes been following these protests so this Emergency Powers wall its a lift over from cologne your time so how is it even possible want to invoke it into why are the protesters so fearful of it right so youre right this emergency. As it was its a new era law it was introduced in 9022 and it hasnt been used for more than 50 years but then its also hasnt been refuted it hasnt been changed it was always there but then and now kerry led misusing it to the next. Bend and basically this law will give her the power to bypass the legislative process to pass through and if she thinks its necessary that shes saying stay the citys in a state of emergency that she wants to possible in this ban on Wearing Masks why has that created so much anger right so since the protest more than 3 months ago protesters have been using face mass to protect themselves to stop themselves from being identified because they fear retaliation from Hong Kong Government from the Chinese Government especially because they know that their facial Recognition Technology is so powerful in china they dont know what they the government could do with the information off their faces and also actually many of them also fear retaliation from their own companies because Many Companies in hong kong that have this interesting china and they employ yes actually it gives them a lot of pressure to stop them to speak out to show support for the protests of this rather sleep through the report of the airline thats in the working for care of the pacific if you was for. Was fired because she supported the protesters these new walls when you think about them you see the media reaction it looks like its only made the situation worse but curious her thinking she thinks that should make the situation better in the long term its actually very ironic because when she made the announcement she said that this is a way to the escalate the situation to stop the violence in the city and then she would Start Talking to the people again but then you can see the right after she made the announcement you can see clashes in every part of the city you can see protests as you say more violent so you can see they are setting up mean things and shops and spare a case and so its really the opposite of what their government is trying to do and what about hong kong you know people that you talk to back home do they worry that this is going to get much worse before it gets but right actually many people are fearing that this is the 1st time the government is using this emergency law and that might be this to stop using this law to pass other bills and so that now theyre fearing that that eventually social media all Bank Telegram and online forums that they have been using to organize demonstrations that weve seen it in other places where there has been civilizational unrest churchmen is always your thank you.

Im on who fled syria has been living here for close to a month the morea campus 4 times over its capacity so thousands are forced to live in the surrounding all the growth. Is over a cup of tea im on tells us what life in the camp is like crowded dirty and dangerous every day every day and thats normal if you know there are fighting inside. Yeah. By the we are here.

Well im going to take a trip to the north persisted coolants home to some of the richest marine life on earth where its become the worlds biggest rubbish dump after decades of pollution now a floating landfill known as the Great Pacific garbage patch it stretches about 1. 00 take a look at that 1000000 square kilometers and that is about what 3 times the size of france and its estimated to contain at least 1. 8 to mute the number right 1. 8 trillion pieces of plastic but now for the 1st time ever we might be seeing a breakthrough in the cleanup of this mess a team of dutch Scientists Says that there ambitious effort to remove plastic from the ocean has achieved a milestone. All right this is a good time to talk trash to do that con edison is here with me to do a deep dive into what theyre calling really cheap to get in there calling this actually the largest clean up in history thats what they wanted to be the project is called the Ocean Cleanup it was started 7 years ago by this gentleman here is name is boy in slots hes only 25 years old by the way his Team Announced this week after those 7 years that finally they are now the 1st so successfully remove plastic from that Great Pacific garbage patch its not easy though heres just some of what that team pulled out of the water i mean you can see all kinds of transits duf small bits large pieces there also quite a lot of fishing nets even car tires in there and in those smaller pieces the micro plastics that fish and other animals mistake for food right the device looks kind of simple but its actually very complicated its 600 meters long so 6 football fields it floats on top of the ocean then uses the movement of the water as a collect and filter out plastic its sent its location to a ship then when the plastic is. To be picked up and it works below the surface 2 you can see here extending about 3 meters down and it allows then for fish to swim underneath this milestone as part of a long road a slat came up with this when he was just 19 years old hes gone through multiple different variations of the project multiple failures test designs this is a small 1st step but theyre calling it a big one it almost seems like just a drop in the ocean if you mean it is talked a little bit about just the scope of the challenge of trying to clean up the oceans i mean we saw how big the Great Pacific garbage patch is the problem is thats only one of them out there theres 4 other ones around the worlds oceans its just going to take a lot of work and the problem is its only getting worse i mean were producing more plastic than ever Plastic Waste is expected to quadruple over the next 3 decades by the year 2050 theyre predicting that by weight there will be more plastic than fish in the oceans are just crazy eventually all that plastic of course it makes it into the food chain its eaten by fish by birds is even in my whales you see these these beached whales and theyre taking plastic out of their stomachs you know it also makes it into humans we thousands of bits of plastic every year without even realizing it the biggest problem area brand is asia so china indonesia the philippines thailand and vietnam they generate more Ocean Plastic than the rest o
