And i have been to several places and the usual excuses its been 20 years or we give them to charity and i find these us cues rather funny. You know because it doesnt take away the problems it doesnt take away the complicity and it doesnt take away the. Blatant. Today its on the fischel perception plan for he was in spain. This is. Generated by developed countries should like. The should it is done using proper equipment with a hill specialized machine. Which is protected. You dont have to use the bit like the children in the dumb side enough for. Up to 90 percent of the materials i reuse. Let me ask you this question you have this wonderful recycling facility if so why do we still hope the little electronic was illegally being dumped in gone off for instance. They dont. Go to the black market to look. I dont know but really it is that we are safe 25 percent normal and what i consider wrist what as a goal i dont know. Become to my country ready ready ready ready ready. This is a tracker for money during each wastes so in this way we can control what down the movement front of critics point to their treatment plans. So it means that once it is installed in the us you can full of the movement. And possibly notify him of this to mention here that for him and. I think this very important so we can get to simply live wire to send it in the way of these things on board and lets go. Now we have this is the. Computer we can follow this ng now from there its not allowed as. We can see down the street where we are going on to the next. One taking the discarded computer with a tracking device to the public collection point. I wonder what it is and. This we sold you how we control all the money devices this is the battle of the small need because an indication of the street where we have placed so we can go there if we can in this to field so we have a reality we share of the players we have received this money so its possible to track all the way to gone there yet so we dont see this thing not all we can say is sing gonna. Youre the last minute in the cowboys happy to program up on this fancy global procedure. Doesnt it i want to be in the look at myself and get to know you just go. To. The underside it disappear then dont decide it was just going on here that little. One everywhere the fat ass. Got the builders the good or not i thought id been dubious and we got the door to the house and it went on in the other another innocent to get out to get another just because what us is really about on another mother this camp other assumed to be go to the opera but i think a lot i think you are aware those. Who are last are going to go on the eve of. The end. Of the bill but ive had people yes ive got to be up. To. The name of like i said not to let me see on time and theres a look and i do know a lot of that building where stock is the list of middle space how to see the masses will tell you about the. Less police units d n n or not will be now the cody is going to go to his castle yes im with ya go. What the all projects trucking the movements and flying album locations of it was what are the findings to do share that with me i think its the by cisco so if youre in a story in some case it was all the less than half of the devices they are rife on a fisa authorized his name and a little nyquist yes what happens is that he was just there is a bird in a market is it is your story insulting is because it has some of these value so if you have and you can take these even waste to an illegal market where you can sell these devices through out of attaining a benefit. Who is responsible for that you needle shipments and dumping abuse from africa and gone. And im investigating the seas and you which are doing i used to expose and come out what is a crime. What does it all go wrong. For research for founders leakage of version every stage of the process here in the u. K. At least half of the original waste and is about market. Live in china exposing our child gets diverted. You set up a fake Company Based in hong kong and we then put together some of the vehicle hit list of countries we thought were suspicious and we contacted those companies to see what theyre offering. I know thats a few meetings with this companys. Story was that one of our customer is from the other goods in china that asked us to secure some supplies of c. Azziz katherine choose from from europe and so we were just presenting us i was going to middleman if you like yourself because its your field and we will. Just call the guy when i was inferring call is something these thing europe and hes able to say you know we can get your 1000 pretty quickly we get them from a major recycling firm he said yeah a lot of love for the supplier mess and so was the computers it was a result of income or something so we have a really small of a wall thing its huge is that small towns but its here you settle on the president and its tough from you know the. Whole staged does that he was good i bet it members of the public to hold that choice agreement to accept a Community Site you know council dump site at that point these sites are run by by companies a subcontracted by the local Authority Local council to miners the waste but often of these locations as we found theres ferguson shutting 2 Small Companies there deal specifically with the electronic waste and instead of this material being recycled its is simply put in containers and shipped out to places like west africa and the far east. Resident. For the. Most you who was the people who offered. The stuff before it could be suffered through before you leave. What is the motivation why is this so much he was been sent to got to the most recent story is just pure money pure profit if you can receive a payment from a local council. Its a contract and 200. 00 this waste and then instead of recycling and simply put in a container and ship it out youre basically getting paid twice or because youre avoiding the cost of recycling and you maybe give us some money to pay for the far east. That good idea happened to bag the items stored in fun and then made golson heffron that wouldnt feel whole notes muncy contain a list be told we had full of electronic shots when that falls on did i owned illegal. We do want to close the loophole which is leading to so many electrical goods ending up in developing nations being taken apart by by children bonfires and dumps. At least kenya he had to hope michel he does in gods own fucking elect was shot into the tibetan and it was an awfully kikes but yet one is just my nominal mischa to top it. In the greater view just this he does down mark into name as i suppose lima. Elect to live in an age say about egan mamby as i said this to me and. This is a very toxic waste stream pouring out of europe we are wasting what could be and should be used again mom it would know she would up a ski vanya masoud off to the productive it up with the lectern each next 23 years since cousins tot mom in the suit off to the top that. I would assume. With or without the. Yeah bro a. Position im best in is. Gods elect to short mia. To be an athlete conscious linda x. Put it on us d. You neednt be exporting to us alice beleaguered with some documentation with snuff eyes and was innocent was off watch that. It was interesting seeing the port in scotland and having a feel for what is actually done why we pulling these ship wins will be with. The actually open a container in my presence in the for me was so important. And historic lesbian west africa play model in nigeria over the last 3 years we have noticed an increase to ghana one of the usual tricks the being is illegal exporters use is an example changing that contain a drop off point last month so as we can be there to check our potentially have and material on the 1st floor philos of the container of our walk in order of itself until something behind us is not working order. Was a lot of money to be made an explanation to them that we estimate the number that exports are organized and they could potentially make up to 5000 pounds in a container. Of the container and inspect the material to see if its waste them off. Which wastes fridge equipment not would be private to them and be illegal so due to the very thing you heard michael functionality not every single accompaniment of exports that is placed in the us or someone because the fact of the use of resources a fact of life. Can come a spike to check for back of the container for material. Goods regular for 2 for the pool table but the camera was no longer there is to be endless as little as another and occasion thats why the majority of an effort goes into that. Is of intelligence and the use of inspections on analyst day. Weve already out information for mags both sure that each of the trenches had been tested when i was a small object in children and people of the governess marched up. For me i would say that the control that i saw on the port in scotland was not good enough every single item would have to be checked for functionality particularly on the continence it was refrigerator is a bit television several computers to talk to finally the world the a working in good working order before this should go with a day just just.

We dont have a law in this country forbidding that type of export right now electronic waste is the most traded Hazardous Waste it is recognized as being the most severe problem with respect to toxic trade and it still goes on every day from our ports here in the United States. Since the country that is the. Wasteful country. Produced most of the waste. And all different types of brokers and explorers out there say were inside all 3 of them all the time they cozy up charities and would give this very nice very helpful for so much money. But basically its all about filling up a seagoing container. One of the things weve been able to do to demonstrate to. As to how prevalent this type of exporting is we will just go around to these people calling themselves recyclers and you drive by them and the beauty is that you cant hide big old 40 foot container. Theyre all at a loading dock so these buildings are designed so you cant drive them into the building. So its very easy to photograph them and they have prominent numbers and we take pictures of those and we. Can type that number into a database called track trace and here we see the whole record of that particular container and its last weeks voyages its gone from thailand to singapore now its in new zealand. Weve been starting to get this data which nobody else has a was really the flows look like. It comes through concord almost 65 percent of the time from us we didnt know that we started tracking and tracking and tracking wow theyre all going to hong kong. All those come from every way oh uncle from the United States of america from europe and even from africa. Every day do about 80 ocean going wessels coming into hong kong and 63000 boxes in containers coming to haunt us it really is a huge number right. Just look at us just one some places so dumb that their ways and see if they can find some little holes they can run but they falsified the descriptions of the decoration. So as they try to. Deceive their customs of officials but i can tell you that districts will get. A receipt back to high risk on janus or ships for processing. We have 2 types of x. Ray scanners we can scan in a truck in less than 2 minutes the whole truck i mean if i tell you. His movies put a container under the scanner because season one is us. For you ways that we have a number of kazan apos failures and most of them oddly credit posix scrap metal scrap. We intercept a container and not just face and process the container container is being repatriated back to the states and then to have a successful prosecution in Hong Kong Hong kong company and the us company also. We do not process each and every container coming or going out of hong kong around a while theres no no one Customer Administration that can process 100 percent of them. Have always wanted to do something to make some change so i joined going peace in 2002. First can pat is launching only waste. To sing these amazing and the really shock we can fund of the. United states you waste in hong kong. Farmland. I heard about the waste from alyse coming to hong kong 1st store in rio. I checked my mobile phone that i found here of a big contend. We have here. In this region. You can see. The 2nd birth and whole. Thing. This one is coming from the even mental Protection Bureau in United States you know who was going to be we were we were the wrong d. United States Government feel we still us the United States not send the waste to out a country like china. You need. A new user name spoke to us from here to manage on. The trucks and reload a New Territories and drive across 3 clubs and they have to pay a bribe is the only way they can get across or use a small coaster boat to go the pearl river delta into areas like man high and there again you pay a bribe to unload it. When we went to look we dont see. Any signs to say ok this is great but we just its mailed greystone the same mail ok we know we arrive. Every year. So median us throw in to look from overseas that the United States and europe in japan korea l l l l at least tome over 80 percent local people make life depends on the new ways to start. This is very typical local family will show. The world has recycled the plastic or c r t. The sky used to light to burn the plastic and cars 5 difference have. The walk dont have any protective mask to protect the health. This isnt a daily life they will. Miss family books are people used to pick up the. Expensive metal for all my cheeks. And the bad seeing is the waste i see people using the word going out into the river so local iran and has been read. In the summer the children jump into a river mystery of ice black is full of hate. But always feel ready signed. Meals when he even mental friendly is good but People Health well harmed and the local environment also well. Really whats happening is people are extremely wise in cost you dont want to solve the problem youd leather let someone else deal with it and youll never have to pay for it you dont ever get a bill from china saying you contaminated my land you have to pay. We are all the time appalled which is one of the biggest balls that we have and discomfort. That is so much softer or a little ships coming in here from all over the wall. It is a very lovely beach here i mean the coastline in ghana here its marvelous is beautiful. But its not done so your hogs to realize that most of the ships that are coming into the port made it would contain is the balls up so much in the 20 which. Well be Environmental Protection agency. That is the responsibility of educating for no more and so some of these a moment the problems. So when you say the countries of origin of the little it was Bishop Tikhon when it is the countries of the of the company we realize that about 60 percent of it comes from here and then the new used equipment not the qualified as we just. So for me the whole thing is being is for economic reasons and it is all organized like in business is organised. So that makes a criminal theres a cascading effect we big money for the book as who are mostly europeans then how do the middle group being africans who are involved in. Bringing them here we also get a certain proportion and then when it comes to look at market then do was all in a statue that was on selling and other things what is the way old what should be the solution we didnt have laws so we have developed a draft policy which was in development of the past say that we can prosecute it in country once we have the laws passed nationally that is our own parliament and we can stop it and challenge in the governments decision. To do to get on my team responded by 6 months doing that mr keeshan and then we got even undercover as agents. He was was one of the biggest areas that we looked into for example most fraud have been through the east system. The stones have a form of valuation for say Home Appliances so its an evolution is next to nothing. Somebody goes to clear used comes from the wests and they look at it as on damn good so we are not going to pay the value that you would be ordinarily noble. He does this thinking about them but meant that not even their ministry not even their customs offices all that they care about is that you say he defeated them to get used counts ways they might get from the aimed at and. The new to right instead of credit taking those things for profit and we should. Use. The minerals in the city to see this as self is as walking through the 1st afforded him cells that became somebody think its useful. To scrap the law to come in on the stand by at the polls waiting for dave bias to declare or declare some of systematic lead most of them must occur and thats way to take if. It was not then they anybodys going to check it if he doesnt find a Disability Fund but told that this is it it may have Affordable Homes for example if you think about paid people and the ones theyll be wakin will be about 2 or 3 but then that people will buy a will so rely on some repair work on it youll want to give it to make comics tools you can look at it to see what had become repaid. With the doing and in the. Evening go to. Look at it. And. This machine then need to find out about how this is not. An action that is when its working and then this one through the 4th wall from the legion of egypt. If i find out where the forces until a few minutes 20 in. The offing cop is no easy thing for a final guest on 3 guys in the east to an office on james. Since its. The who comes to buys schools of the season 2 things. Majority of good mans about 90 percent of the rooms would want to depend on the 2nd homes because. Of the new forms new laptops but it is still expensive but the pool not the money good will for these the. People of slate particularly some of those behind it should be able to say that while were trying to bridge the Digital Divide between you very kind and the rest of off it can go. But the reality is that these computers didnt last and theyre not helping anybody here. In. The group or. Believe it were going to come back under the knife thank you very much. For business or please. If. Any of this is that the primary area and most of the children come from deprived homes thats probably going to read it and already. On the right is a cool one when we have money to buy everything but you know. When all was brought everything was quick and all right i says tell you soon damn you saw that if you press it to get any to not come out then the off was made and booting goes off its really worked for how long how many months. Have went for why a year. Not from an idea who it is obsolete so virus attack day to deploy its possible if not take the disk. So this is not the dot dot this is the old look toward the end of the then when you test out will key so break into ignatius to with on the by says its not working out to buy some memory and some heidis and others in the change they look at a price in town is a specific kind. Of thing is all for patrol when jimmy talked with vertical companies you would in the hope that these are positives old equipment dust up and recycled or disposed of and then as that is just a hobby to dump on one to the electrical items. Here you find young boys some age between well lets say 5 from 5 on once you know breaking this month cling these computers and Television Sets and the burner most well to salvage the metals and then particularly couple. To go to wave it and then the middle name would put these things together and sell them to other companies and theyre shipped to every part of the World Companies that would need them to buy china. You know anybody who wants a. Meeting the people who own these are literally right of life owning a gun was indeed a mixed feeling for me bongo saddam is and of course. George. Isnt a very difficult thing going number one frustrated but im not going to give up. My government should not be a place to recycle or disposal of the wisdom of a Conference Committee and every country should learn to disposal recycle its old news. Not a lot of the kids tell me that well when we break these things we burned we have paid deeks miscreants headaches. Isnt a call for us to run i mean that they have all respiratory problems theyre not able to breathe free will. In 10 years i want to see their kids in school old wanting to see their kids do want children to play in very clean surroundings and not state all the other dumb side and burning all these things. Because today it has to stop. On our. Own. Hello there was a want to bits and pieces of cloud into more southern sections of iran of the last 2 as and again wanted to cross into pakistan or we could just see want to passing shots a risk of a thunderstorm in line with that cloud as we go through thursday elsewhere it is fine and dry not as hot as it has been if the temperatures coming down even further by friday 40 celsius in baghdad on thursday and then by friday down to 37 meanwhile very nice into beirut 27 and a little bit cooler into afghanistan 20 celsius in kabul in the wake of any of that rain and that clouds not really any cooler across the Arabian Peninsula what we have got though is less in the way of clouds sunny across into coast of oman one of you showers into the southwest of yemen as we go through thursday by friday it should be a much a dry picture and in fact a little bit cooler into moscow too with a high of 31 meanwhile in doha 38 celsius and still really feeling rather humid the winds certainly rather light at the moment and then we had down into Southern Africa wanted to showers likely into southern areas of madagascar and on thursday we could see central and Northern Areas of mozambique with some rain showers as well temperature wise further to the south it stays very warm over the next couple days temperatures above the average and been with a high of 20 age. On the streets of greece anti immigrant violence is on the rise you have to go for. Something and increasingly migrant farm workers are victims a vicious beating. Is helping the Pakistani Community to find a voice the stories we dont often hear told by the people who live them undocumented and under attack this is iraq on aljazeera when the news breaks it looks like if youre told in order to get someone who can get this country out of the crisis when people need to be cut. From the little cross this border area without that they should aljazeera has teams on the ground for the last few months these come because on. The streets of hong kong you come back to put. Documentaries and lighting on air and Online International trade switch gears or food having free trade with nazi germany or the japanese or chinese dubs or germany controversial immigration policies that anyone who has a well founded euro persecution should be able to comment the off minister from syria just close the door to Syrian Refugees like the buffalo maybe her son goes head to head with senior trump advisor Stephen Moore this year the trump deficit a trillion dollars will not to reelect a little from well i dont know how to go on al jazeera. We understand the differences. And the similarities of cultures across the world so no matter how you take it aljazeera will bring in the news and Current Affairs that matter to aljazeera. Iraqs capital city under a curfew after days of protests across the country that have killed at least 7. Think of this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up. This is a hoax this is the greatest hoax us democrats say theyre determined to pursue an impeachment inquiry against president obama as he continues to defend a phone call at the center of it all. North korea confirms it successfully tested a missile that can be launched from a submarine just days before Nuclear Talks with the u. S. Concerns about a transatlantic trade war the u. S. Plans new tariffs on european goods in response to e. U. Aircraft subsidies. Hundreds of protesters have defied a curfew in central bank dead after 2 days of violent demonstrations against the government at least 7 people were killed in those demonstrations in some areas Security Forces opened fire on crowds in baghdad the movement of private cars and people is restricted some cities in the south are also under curfew lets get more now from magazine is imran khan who joins me on the phone now from the iraqi capital saw him on whats happening there. Well ground and let me give you a personal example im actually right now in the middle of war should be one of the busiest streets in baghdad going to look for it up very quickly. Nothing its completely silent there are no calls on the streets all of the Security Forces im about 2 kilometers away from soccer square which was the focal point of the protests i am hearing and i have to throughout the morning sporadic gunfire so clearly there are still people from local neighborhoods on the streets you know the Iraqi Government hasnt actually announced when this curfew will come to an end clearly theyre very worried about these protests getting bigger and bigger and they are what weve seen across the country in in the for the and in. Our government buildings have also been attacked have been curfews placed in those cities now those because hes replaced by the local governor this is the Central Government thats supposed to gain back clearly a lot of. The protests building and building the real concern for the government sources close to. The gulf and have told us theyre very worried about the protests getting bigger because they feel that maybe will become altered by religious policies will help addition political policies to be able to get people out on the streets right now. Quiet over baghdad but i can is sporadic gunfire tools to her square and of course same on these protests come against the back drop of a real sense of anger and frustration in the country at the government and how its doing its job just just give us a sense of how all of these protests came about. Well this is the interesting thing is there was no real spoke for these protests it was like there was an event that sparked these parts thats what happened is that people came out on the streets young people who werent allowing to any political policy or religious policy who is simply very frustrated the fact that they didnt have jones now on monday or tuesday was a very slow process took place around 12 oclock local time it was very quickly dispersed by the Security Forces and then what happened there was a social media call thousands of people came out in the streets on tuesday on wednesday and it got bigger and bigger and bigger but it does to most people told me that it feels like this is a leaderless lupins its not a movement has a new political backing or you religious backing it simply very angry young people getting out in the streets and theyve used social media to mobilize those people out on the streets now the in today has been severely restricted by the Central Government access to social media sites of in globe sites book twitter etc so clearly the governments very worried about the use of social media now what the government has done is announce the commission to investigate even solved tuesday and wednesday and its also said its going to meet with people from the protest to the how do you mean to lead to this movement of course most baghdad hes most people in iraq are offering is the government going to mean this is a movement that has allegiance all right phenomenon called on the line for staff from the iraqi capital. Joe biden has called the u. S. President donald trump desperate and defensive after he called its potential 2020 democratic rival stone cold cricket without offering any evidence trump again denied pressuring ukraines president to investigate biden and his son a details of a call between the 2 were made public after a whistleblower complained that prompted the democrats to launch an impeachment inquiry more now from she had. House democrats announced on wednesday that they would subpoena the white house for documents related to their impeachment inquiry if they dont receive by friday theyve also asked for documents from the state department and president trumps personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani but they warn that no one should think they can avoid cooperation through the legal action challenging congresss authority for example so we are concerned that the white house will attempt to stonewall our discussion much as they have stonewalled other committees in the past. Its why i say the white house needs to understand that any action like that that forces us to litigate or have to consider litigation will be considered further evidence of obstruction of justice and of course that was an article of speech meant against nixon the implications for the white house clear from the democrats dont think you can hold the impeachment process up in the courts if you dont cooperate with the inquiry will simply roll that even to potential articles of impeachment as obstruction of justice and we infer that the reason youre not complying is because what the whistleblower said initially was true about the white house dont trust once again attack the whistleblower who alleged he was abusing the office of the presidency to undermine the 2020 lections in his interactions with the ukrainian president this country has to find out who that person was because that person is a spot in my opinion but later in a press conference with the finnish president mr trump said he would cooperate with House Democrats in their inquiry however. He grew irritated as he was asked exactly what he had been on the ukrainians to do in the 1st place biden and his son are stone cold crooked and you know it is son walks out with millions of dollars the kid knows nothing you know it and so do we go ahead as a quick look at the question sir was what did you want president selenski to do about present President Biden and his son hunter. You talk to me yeah it was just a follow up of what i just asked is are you ready we have the president of finland ask him a question i have one form i just wanted to follow up on the one that i asked you which did you hear but if you want to hear me yes ask him a question im troubled president ial campaign released a new advert arguing that the impeachment process is simply the democrats attempting to undermine democracy because they come beason at the ballot box its nothing short of a coup and it must be stopped its a message that those seem to be resonating with trumps basic least the campaign is reporting tens of thousands of new donors and huge sums of money pouring him she able to see out washington and north korea has confirmed it successfully tested a new type of Ballistic Missile that can be launched from a submarine its the 1st test of its type by pyongyang in almost 3 years missile was fired into the sea towards japan and it came hours after north korea said it would resume denuclearization talks with the u. S. On saturday a mason which he is a professor of International Relations at hanko university of foreign studies he says this Missile Launch is unlikely to harm talks with the u. S. This is definitely a qualitative. Improvement in range versus what weve seen from testing. Was the missiles in north korea over the last few months and this well i think that pressure among other things on the trumpet ministration and how they view in north korea you know trumpets the short range Ballistic Missile tests that were not a problem that they were standard you know this is obviously. d higher terms of threat of course its very much will depend on how good north Korea Submarine capabilities are and what we know about them so far is that theyre not particularly sophisticated in the submarine Warfare Technology by the u. S. And japan and south korea i would have a very good chance of being able to track with real submarines so i wouldnt treat the threat alarmist way but clearly north korea is improving their delivery capabilities and i jewish president mohamed hadi is visiting south africa a wave of attacks against foreign owned businesses xenophobia violence in south africa was against people against other africans including nigerians the violence said in september prompted nigeria to repatch 8600 of its citizens president rouhani says he will use the visit to talk about the welfare of nigerians in south africa for me to millet joins us now from for to pretoria sofa meeting and its the 1st meeting between the leaders of africas to launch just economies what are we expecting. Well house and this is the 1st meeting between the South African president and nigerian counterparts and 2013 so this is an important meeting that we understand will deal with a number of issues but primarily economic and political relations these 2 countries are the 2 biggest economies in the continent and south africa imports at least 2000000000. 00 worth of crude Oil South Africa also has interests in nigeria so this this meeting is really about deepening and strengthening these ties and this is what were hearing from these other african presidency its a meeting that was scheduled a hit all of those in a phobic attacks but of course we do understand that this is certainly an issue that will come up and. Coming there a month after the attacks that sparked the this wave of xenophobic violence in south africa has that affected their relationship too well the South African government has said that its relationship with nigeria isnt strained and that this is an opportunity to strengthen and deepen ties south africa has in the past months and envoys to a number of african countries to apologize for the attacks but also looking at some of the statements coming out of the South African government theres also been issues around Illegal Immigrants and south africa saying that it needs to strengthen the the bulletins i suppose of the Home Affairs Department that has to deal decisively with the issue of Illegal Immigrants from a number of african countries and this is what is fueling some of the tensions in south africa between South Africans and people from other african States South Africa has needed to i suppose. Look at a balancing act in terms of how it deals with nigerian that this is a sensitive issue its had to apologize weve heard that apology come from the International Cooperation minister anality pond or just after the nigerian president mahmoud do bihari arrived in south africa last night so certainly we do
