A war crime im burnt off in berlin this is the day. The one. That. We are deeply saddened extremely shocked. The little one we never issued an order targeting this shelter and so that can be no excuse for the sense of having been hit how do you see that were responsible army that cares about the interest of the country that this is a perfect example of why weve been calling for some months now the navy to be returned to the b. S. Just. The way it was. Also coming up tonight its in the food we eat and the trash we throw away can we ever overcome our addiction to plastic i think way is that called the problem and we are kidding ourselves by using. Praise and hand on. Our country. To our viewers on p. B. S. In the United States and all around the world welcome we begin the day counting the lives lost lives of people who had already lost their homes today more the. 40 migrants living in Detention Centers near tripoli libya were killed in air strikes now the United Nations says that more than 130 people were also wounded in this airstrike libyan as you may know is considered by many to be a failed state in north africa it is also a major transit point for migrants heading to europe the Migrant Detention Center that was bombed is located in to ensure which is just to the east of the libyan capital tripoli now 2 forces are fighting for control of the capital and its surroundings one is led by the warlord you see here khalifa have tar he has the backing of egypt and france and the other is the government of National Accord led by 5 sugar off it enjoys broader International Backing such as from the u. N. We cannot say tonight with certainty that the Migrant Center was targeted by half tars forces but he did announce on tuesday night that they would be bombing too sure of the district where the Migrant Center is located picking up the pieces this woman dreamed of a better life she could have imagined shed end up here in a shattered Migrant Detention Center surrounded by the dead. And these people are the lucky ones the survivors of last nights bombing although they have little left to speak of and even now theyre caught between warring armies far from their homes whether they be in sudan or somalia. We. Were one. Of the last night a fighter plane dropped a bomb on a center filled with hundreds of people. And amid the chaos survivors began recovering bodies the heavy death toll as grim as it was predictable. Even before last night the center of tar jura in a suburb of tripoli had been a disaster in the making another bomb landed nearby in may Rights Group Amnesty International said. Forces carried out the attack as they moved on tripoli. The migrants into georgia are among 3 and a half 1000 the un has warned are in Detention Centers located near libyas battle front weeks ago migrants at a different center protested an increasingly dangerous situation. And 2 out of now close to see collation a clash and the fronts of rain so we need evacuation now. Identity we need and uk issues since then the fighting in libya has only escalated. Meanwhile migrants continue to wait and hope not knowing what will happen next. For more on this now im joined by the never from the u. N. Age c. R. She is head of the unit in libya she joins us tonight from tunis in tunisia poets good to have you on the program we want to make sure that its clear to our viewers tonight the migrants who were in this Detention Center they were migrants who had tried to make it to europe via the mediterranean they had been picked up in the med by the libyan coast guard which is financed by the European Union is that correct. Yes so were talking about over 600. 00 refugees and migrants who have left in the case of refugees their countries looking for sake looking for International Protection they had to do it a very difficult journey along the desert up and to leave yet and try to cross the majority of them the military and see and then brought back to media and into the homes and so they have already endured a very difficult life while being held in detention for a very part of years time. In a terrible terrible fate there this for these people the United Nations we understand had already warned that this Detention Center was in harms way and that it could be a target in the fighting for tripoli and apparently that warning was ignored. Well as you know the Tension Center was a main concern for us in u. N. H. C. R. Because as you well say its located in an area of active clashes we had already relocated in the month of may more than 80 refugees to other gathering and departure facility in 320 however we do not have the capacity to absorb everyone who was into georgia the Tension Center and we had been repeatedly calling for an end to the tension and to free this refugees and migrants from the tension in order for them not to be in harms way and 12 void what happened yesterday which was extremely tragic were very saddened and we condemn the attack that happened yesterday and we need the United Nations it says that all migrant Detention Centers now in libya should be closed can you confirm is that going to happen anywhere in the world where will these migrants go if these centers are closed. Well as unity out host detention the tension of refugees should not happen under any circumstance we have been advocating for this for a long time we do have a gathering and departure facility in tripoli run by units by our partners the bait and the ministry of interior where we are processing the most vulnerable refugees for evacuation in 3rd countries where they can actually find International Protection and safety and have a chance at life they have endured very difficult circumstances they had suffered enough and we continued to call on the International Community to give them a chance and to give them safety which is what theyre looking for and we understand thats what you would want to see but what is actually happening tonight if these centers are closed do these migrants do they have somewhere to go when there are many refugees more than 56000 who are actually living in you in the urban conflict so theyre not detained so this is a possibility to be explored to actually have them live in the urban context and we continue to for example process the most vulnerable tourist thats when there are ways there are alternatives to detention we just have to Work Together as an International Community to make that reality. All of our genome from the u. N. Agency are joining us tonight from geneva we appreciate your time and insights thank you thank you so much for having us.

Today is International Plastic bag free day a day meant to highlight the damage that Plastic Waste is doing to our planet in a moment well show you what happens to the Plastic Products that you might be using but 1st weve got some statistics that may shock you the world produces 300000000. 00 tons of Plastic Waste every year now that is about the weight if you were to take every person on the planet put them together the weight of the entire human population 10000000 tons end up in the worlds oceans a lack of effective Waste Management is the biggest source of this problem. 90 percent of plastic 90 percent thats a lot is carried by rivers such as the yang sea and the yellow river in china or the ganges in india only a small fraction of this waste remains on the surface or on the coastlines much of it degrades and breaks down into microscopic particles and that is another huge problem these micro plastics they are often ingested by fish and shellfish and guess what then there are eaten by us humans were rubbish it has spread and it permeates our oceans including here and lets take a good look at this this is the deepest place on earth a love in kilometers below the surface of the Pacific Ocean in the marianna trench you see that right there a plastic back where china announced 2 years ago that it would no longer accept Plastic Waste for recycling and that is putting pressure on other developing countries that have become destinations for plastic dumping take a look. This is canadian Plastic Waste that was supposed to end up in the philippines right now its burning up in a canadian incinerator the government says its being safely treated in line with National Standards the waste was sent to the philippines years ago following a legal dispute the government in manila hired a shipping company to send it back to canada. And this is what happens when Southeast Asian countries accept western waste. Mountains of garbage from france germany and other European Countries items are used once and thrown away malaysian activists found this site next to a palm oil plantation. We follow. Day. By day. But out and then but maybe about yet. The stuff i treat so though is that the. Cost of. The problem has gotten worse since china stopped accepting waste shipments in 2017 since then millions of tons of waste have been shipped to thailand vietnam malaysia and indonesia environmentalist have called on the countries to stop accepting waste they also say the solution isnt just local the producers of plastic also have to change their ways. But i think way. And we are kidding ourselves by using. I think we took it and i think. That nature and trust to our country. The European Union has promised to stop exporting its Plastic Waste to developing countries but only in 2021 so for now the trash mountains of malaysia and its neighbors will just keep growing. Im joined now by clear arkin that is she is with the Global Alliance for incinerator alternatives that is a coalition of n. G. O. S from 90 countries working on Plastic Waste reduction she joins us from the beautiful place of berkeley california its good to have you on the show i guess the question we want to ask you 1st and foremost why in the world do rich countries sind their trash abroad in the 1st place i mean why is this a thing. Yeah good question and while the global classic recycling economy is deeply broken and just exporting countries are basically exporting their plastic problems elsewhere. In our countries like canada france nikkei are saying that they have high class recycling rates but a lot of their plastic collected. Is being sent to countries in the global south and there are downs like little or burnt with with so the our environmental and human health and past and the reason is because we simply have too much plastic to know what to do it and much of the Plastic Packaging on the market saying its simply not economically or technologically feasible to us and all this is not just and we smash an issue. Yeah i just want to say is that what youre telling is that is that in the United States in europe in canada we simply we have more plastic then we can dispose of correct yeah and a lot of the plastic that we should have brought is really low work and low value meanwhile with the fracking going the you asked for creating so much more and more versions and its out cooking recycling and theres no way that recycling can to keep so we really need to hold corporations accountable for producing this plastic in a 1st place and pressure them to truly innovate by reducing rethinking and redesigning their products and Delivery Systems that you worked on a report that details the impact of the global practice of sending our trash to other places the impact that this has on local communities who are at the front lines of this crisis what did you find out. Yeah so our investigation went to you and you and thailand and i found problems that contaminated water supply cropped out respiratory illness from exposure to burning plastic a rise of organized crime for example a year ago or snake i can use that was largely an agricultural village filled with rice fields today there are piles of Plastic Waste he didnt announce most human years high in the middle of the road and waste figures come in season is whatever they find in the trash whatever foreign currency so weve seen that you know in general malaysia for example plastic is burning through the night and people wake up gasping and coughing from the smoke and are getting skin rashes and other really problematic Health Impacts you know clear arkan from the Global Alliance for incinerator alternatives clear we appreciate you taking the time to talk with us tonight and for sharing your insights definitely an important story thank you.
