Bosniaks are protesting against Croatia's plans for a radioactive waste repository
Hundreds of people gathered in northwestern Bosnia on Friday to protest against neighboring Croatia's plans to deposit some of the waste from the region's only nuclear power plant close to the Bosnian border and a major river known for its natural beauty.
Demonstrators in the Bosnian town of Novi Grad demanded that Croatia abandon plans to build a landfill in the former military barracks in Trgovska Gora and pledged to fight the project.
Waste from the Krško nuclear power plant would be stored at the facility.
Bosnians, holding banners with the words "I want a healthy future" and "Stop - Una needs us," said the radioactive waste repository could threaten the Una River and the lives of some 250,000 inhabitants.
We have to say NO
Miroslav Drljaca, mayor of Novi Grad, told the crowd.
We must fight to protect our way of life and our Una.
Located in Slovenia, the Krško power plant, built in the 1980s, also belongs to Croatia.
Representatives from both countries are expected to meet next week to discuss additional landfills.
Croatian public television HRT said on Friday that in Croatia it has not yet been decided whether to build a landfill on its own or pay for the storage of some waste in a new facility constructed by Slovenia.
Croatian Environment and Energy Minister Tomislav Coric told reporters that Croatia also has a problem with the disposal of institutional waste from schools, hospitals and prisons, and hopes to find a comprehensive solution.
In Bosnia, activists, officials and residents on all sides of the country's ethnic divide urged Croatia to find another location in a part of the country closer to the plant.
“Why does Croatia, with all its territory, claim that Trgovska Gora in Bosnia is the best place?” Asked Drljaca.
We must not be humiliated by them!

The US Congress has agreed to sell 32 F-35 aircraft to Poland
The US Congress did not object to this transaction for the statutory 15 days from the approval by the State Department of the possible purchase by Poland of 32 F-35 multi-role fighters, which means that the last condition was met before the start of purchase negotiations.
The Congressional decision, while not unexpected, is of great political importance.
"After the sale has been approved by the Department of State, and now by Congress, I don't see any major obstacles," said John V. Venable, senior defense policy adviser for Washington Conservative Heritage Foundation think tank.
The expert explained that under the Arms Export Control Act of 1976, the federal government, represented by the State Department, must notify Congress of any planned sale of arms overseas 15 days prior to signing the contract, if the value of such a transaction, in the case of sale of arms to the country NATO member state exceeds $ 50 million.
The value of the proposed purchase of 32 F-35 fighters by Poland is estimated at USD 6.5 billion. This amount includes the costs of technical and logistic assistance, auxiliary equipment and pilot training.
The main supplier of the F-35 aircraft - if this transaction is finally finalized - will be the American defense company Lockheed Martin, and its subcontractor is the manufacturer of engines for the F-35A fighters, Pratt and Whitney.
Proposals to purchase American fifth generation F-35 fighters on behalf of the Polish authorities were submitted in May by Defense Minister Mariusz Błaszczak.
The Polish offer was discussed in June this year during the meeting between President Andrzej Duda and President Donald Trump at the White House.
The implementation of this agreement, if finalized, will be supervised by representatives of the Pentagon as part of the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program.
Under the FMS program, Poland has already acquired, among others Patriot anti-missile system.
The price of one F-35 fighter at the time of the bid by Poland was - without armaments and technical assistance - about USD 89.2 million.
American military experts, who wanted to remain anonymous, told PAP that such a price given in the preliminary negotiations was "the maximum price, much higher than the price that will be negotiated".
"Prices are plummeting, now the price of one F-35 is below $ 80 million, much less than the Eurofighter, which does not have the same advantages as the F-35," Venable pointed out.
PAP interlocutors expressed their hope that the final negotiations on the purchase of American combat aircraft by Poland will be completed this year.
The possible participation of Polish subcontractors in this transaction - i.e. the offset - will be discussed directly with American producers of F-35 fighters.
What is Münchhausen's Surrogate Syndrome featured in Payton Hobart's Netflix Series?
Caregivers and parents with the above disorder pretend that their healthy child is eating sick.
The series "The Election of Payton Hobart" will hit the Netflix platform today.
It tells the story of Payton Hobart, who wants to become president of the United States of America, but first has to become president of the student council at his high school.
Ryan Murphy, the creator of American Horror Story and Glee, will feature Gwyneth Paltrow, Ben Platt and Lucy Boynton.
Without revealing too many details to those who have not yet seen the show, it addresses the topic of Münchhausen's Substitute Syndrome - a mental illness that occurs in caregivers who act as if the healthy person they care for is physically or mentally ill.
There are different types of this condition, such as Münchhausen's syndrome, a disease that causes you to develop symptoms of the disease.
Münchhausen's surrogate syndrome is based on simulating that the person under our care has ailments.
It is also called imaginary and induced disease, and it is viewed as child abuse.
It is a rare condition that usually involves the parent exaggerating the symptoms or causing symptoms to make it appear that their child is sick.
What are the symptoms of surrogate Münchhausen syndrome?
Symptoms of this condition may vary, but the NHS highlights the following behavioral examples:
Convincing medical staff that a child who looks healthy feels bad.
Exaggerating or making up symptoms.
Falsifying the results to make the child ill, e.g. giving glucose to urine samples to make it appear that the child has diabetes.
Inducing disease symptoms, e.g. by giving children unnecessary drugs and other substances.
How common is surrogate Münchhausen syndrome?
It is difficult to estimate how common this disorder occurs because many cases of the disease go unreported.
A study published in 2000 found 89 out of 100,000 people with this disorder in more than two years.
What should I do if I suspect my child may be in danger?

Nigeria: Police raid on Kaduna school, evacuation of 300 children
Kaduna - Kaduna State Police Station yesterday raided Imam Ahmad Bn Hambal School, located in Layin Maidubun Tsumma in Rigasa, Igabi Local Government Area, arrested seven teachers and evacuated approximately 300 children.

Parents signed the form before admitting their children to school.
Parents brought their children food every day and knew what the conditions were in.
We were extremely surprised by the arrival of the police and the evacuation of the children, as well as the removal of all pupils' food provided by their parents prior to school closure.
This is not fair because parents can testify whether their children are in poor conditions, according to the police.
The former Police Commissioner Abdurrahman, who once visited the school to check the level of childcare, never objected, he added.
“He claimed that the children study the Koran and nothing else.
However, Police Officer's Public Relations Officer Yakubu Sabo felt that after handing over the state to the state, the children would join their parents.
“They were kept under dehumanizing conditions on behalf of subjecting or acquiring knowledge of the Koran.
Many of them had scars on their backs, proving that they had been beaten.
That's why we research the school to get to know its owner, ”he added.

Siemoniak: Tusk or Kidawa-Błońska will be the president
"I believe that Donald Tusk and Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska have a chance to win the elections with President Andrzej Duda," says Tomasz Siemoniak.
The deputy head of the Civic Platform, Tomasz Siemoniak, in an interview with Polsat News, spoke about the scandal involving the head of the Supreme Audit Office.
“This case is disqualifying for Marian Banas.
He may become the minister of culture for some entertainment matters, and not the head of the Supreme Audit Office or the minister of finance.
Not someone responsible for billions, taxes, ”he said.
"This case is a very serious crisis for the state," he added.
Siemoniak also spoke about the candidacy of Klaudia Jachira.
“Antoni Macierewicz is on the PiS lists.

Why is no one asking for Antoni Macierewicz not to be on the lists? ”He asked.
“People younger than us have different aesthetics.
I think Jachira, who has already apologized for one of the things, also feels that she is exaggerating sometimes.
Let's not make it a campaign problem, ”he added.

'Crooked' masked Central Coast child rapist forced to look at his victim in court
A cloaked man grabbed a 12-year-old on his way to school from behind and dragged her into the thick bushes of the Central Coast in May 2017.
He then tied her to a tree and raped her.
Shortly after his arrest, a search warrant was executed on his home, where officers seized a number of items relevant to the investigation.
The man pleaded guilty to seven allegations related to the attack and to another three relating to the seduction and sexual abuse of another girl, aged 11, between August 2016 and August 2017.
The 12-year-old victim was walking down the path, and when she looked back, she saw him unexpectedly come out of the bushes armed with a large branch and a knife.
As she pleaded "stop, stop, stop," he grabbed her by the neck and forced her into the brush.
The man said, "Hush, don't shout.
Don't scream or I'll have to hurt you.
Holding the knife in his right hand, he tied her arms and legs with cable ties, then tied her to a tree and raped her for almost an hour.
When he cut her off, the girl ran to school screaming hysterically.
The man arrived at work around 9.30 am, not responding to a few texts and calls from colleagues.
His clothes were dirty and showed traces of grass and trees, and he claimed to have been involved in a road rage accident where he chased another driver in bushes and fell off an embankment.
The trial of the man's conviction will continue on Tuesday.
The Pope calls on the executive directors of technology companies to use artificial intelligence for the common good
On Friday, Pope Francis warned tech executives, diplomats and financiers that the race to create artificial intelligence and other forms of digital achievement is at risk of increasing social inequality if the common good is not considered ethically.
Pope Francis delivered these words at a conference in the Vatican attended by government envoys, Facebook and Google representatives, as well as philosophers, physicists and ethicists.
A small group of academics and bishops of the Catholic Church gathered participants at the conference entitled The Common Good in the Digital Age.
This three-day event is the latest evidence that the Vatican is interested in participating in the debate on the prospects and dangers of artificial intelligence.
Technological advances in the art of warfare and the future of work were discussed, in which machines will play an increasingly important role, as well as a case study investigating the Christchurch attack in New Zealand and decisions made by social media-owning companies regarding the spread of the film recording the massacre.
In his speech at the conference, Pope Francis praised the potential of technological progress, noting that the machines at the beginning of the industrial revolution saved workers a dangerous and monotonous job.
He warned, however, that the increasing dependence on robotic devices for profit risks robbing people of the dignity of work.
"If technological advances became the cause of increasingly visible inequalities, it would not be real and real progress," he warned.
If the so-called technological advancement of mankind were to become the enemy of the common good, it would lead to undesirable backwardness to a kind of barbarism dictated by the law of the strongest.
The conference organizers expressed their hope to use the expert knowledge of the participants and to identify possible future advisers of the Catholic Church in matters related to high technologies.
Martin Odegaard, a player on loan from Real Madrid, makes fans euphoric with his spectacular assist.
Martin Odegaard recorded an impressive assist to Mikel Oyarzabal's opening goal.
With a 2-0 win against Osasuna, Real Madrid climbed to the top of the La Liga standings and continued their unbeaten streak at home this season.
However, despite failing a single La Liga defeat this season, Zinedine Zidane is under tremendous pressure as a result of a turbulent pre-season and a public quarrel with Welsh star Gareth Bale.
The situation reached a boiling point when Real Madrid were humiliated in the Champions League by Paris-Saint Germain (PSG).
But Zinedine Zidane and Real Madrid have real talents at their disposal - for some the Frenchman has plans for some, and not for others.
Vinícius Júnior is an example of such a star of the future of Real Madrid and is currently playing for the team.
However, it was Norwegian young player Martin Odegaard, who was on loan to Real Sociedad, who caused a great stir by including an incredible assist in a La Liga match.
In Real Sociedad's game against Alaves, Martin Odegaard made an impressive assist to Mikel Oyarzabal's opening goal and Real Sociedad finally won 3-0 in front of their own audience.
After picking up the ball from the right, Martin Odegaard outmaneuvered the opposing player into a net, then sent an amazing centimeter pass between the two other players and his teammate had only to add a leg.
Willian Jose's second and third by the incredible Oyarzabal, this time from the penalty spot, secured a decisive victory for Imanol's side before Manu Garcia was sent off the field five minutes before the game ended.
Martin Odegaard only joined Real Madrid as a 16-year-old in 2015, but had a hard time trying to live up to fan expectations.
Now, at the age of 20, the Norwegian footballer finally seems to feel confident on the pitch.

Anna Hazare stated: "The name of Sharad Pawara was not on the list when the case was referred to me."
Civic activist Anna Hazare was surprised to learn that the name of Sharad Pawar - chairman of the Nationalist Congressional Party, the NCP - appeared in connection with a multi-million dollar fraud at the Maharashtra State Cooperative Bank.
The Investigative Agency's Executive Directorate, ED for short, has brought a case against Sharad Pawar, his nephew Ajit Pavar - the former Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra - and others over the fraud.
The Executive Directorate's briefing report on the case, equivalent to a police FIR report, was filed by a central agency under the Anti-Money Laundering Act.
The basis of the case is a Mumbai Police FIR report which lists the names of former bank president Ajit Pawar and 70 former employees of the financial institution.
When the case came to me, Sharad Pawar's name was nowhere to be seen.
"How did his name come out, who gave it, only they know these things," said Anna Hazare on Thursday when asked about the ED case and Sharad Pawar's alleged links to the scam.
Anna Hazare, who was critical of Sharad Pawar, expressed her hope that the truth would emerge as a result of ED's thorough investigation into the fraud.
"ED will find out where his name came from," said Anna Hazare, a multiple participant in an anti-corruption demonstration.
Sharad Pawar denies the crime and claims that he was in no way affiliated with the bank, and also questions the fact that the matter was reported weeks before the Assembly elections scheduled for October 21 in Maharashta.
The former union minister assured that he would not succumb to the majesty of Delhi, clearly referring to the central government led by the BJP party.
The NCP assessed the case of the Executive Directorate as being politically motivated.

John Paul II suffered a lot towards the end of his life
When Nick Vujicic was born 36 years ago, his dad ran out of the room in horror.
"My son has no arms or legs!" He shouted to the doctor.
The parents did not know that their child suffered from an incurable disease that had deprived him of his limbs.
At first they could not accept the boy.
But they prayed, and after four months, Nick's mother felt that God had a plan for their baby.
She decided to love her son with all her heart.
Today, Vujicic is a world-renowned evangelizer and motivational speaker who converts many people.

“When suffering touches us, it's hard to understand.
We are looking for reasons.
We ask: "Why has this happened to us?".
If we believe that God reigns over the whole world and guides our lives, the question naturally arises as to whether it was He who brought us sickness, misfortune ... ”.

"I am filing a lawsuit against Cezary Gmyz in connection with the campaign of lies by PiS TV," said PO MP Krzysztof Brejza on Twitter.
The reason for the lawsuit is the statement by the journalist Cezary Gmyz in the program "Minęła 20" on TVP.
One of the leading people in charge of Sokiemz Burak is Krzysztof Brejza, who has extensive experience in organizing the hate department.
"People who know Mariusz Kozak-Zagozda - the founder of the" hate "profile - are Kierwiński, Budka and Giertych," said Gmyz.

Boris Johnson referred to the police oversight body due to a close relationship with businesswoman Jennifer Arcuri
The independent police investigation office IOPC will investigate the possibility of initiating an investigation against the Prime Minister to find out whether he has committed a criminal offense while in his public office as Mayor of London.
The Greater London Council (GLA) said in a statement that its oversight inspector had registered an "issue related to the conduct" of the Prime Minister in connection with accusations of preferential treatment of Arcuri based on a close relationship between them.
"A" procedural issue "occurs when there is information that indicates a possible crime, he said.
This does not mean that it has somehow been proven.
The IOPC will now consider whether it is necessary to investigate this matter.
The matter has been referred to the IOPC, which deals with complaints against members of the police force in England and Wales.
She was transferred to this police oversight body because Johnson was then in the position of the equivalent of Police Commissioner and Criminal Investigation Commissioner.
Johnson has denied that there have been any irregularities in his close relationship with Arcuri.
Earlier, he had said that he would follow a London council order and provide details of his relationship with Arcuri, but insisted that the council was "focusing on the wrong issue."
The order follows a report from The Sunday Times that Arcuri, an American who moved to London seven years ago, was given £ 126,000 in budgetary money, as well as privileged access to three foreign trade missions headed by Mayor Johnson .
As a result of this report, the government has frozen a grant of £ 100,000 to Arcuri-owned Hacker House pending investigation.
The government faces embarrassing questions about the pre-funding screening procedure.
Digitization Minister Matt Warman told the House of Commons that his department's employees had "traditionally exercised due diligence" and that the company had a UK telephone number.
However, according to numerous reports, calls to the number were redirected to the California office, where Arcuri, 34, is now expected to live.
The prime minister's close relationship with the businesswoman "was an open secret for the staff."
The GLA's decision to refer the prime minister's case to the IOPC's independent police investigation authority was met with discontent at 10 Downing Street.
According to a source around a senior government official, it represents a "politically motivated attack" and its timing - on the eve of the Conservation Party conference - is "overtly political."
"The supervisory inspector did not provide any evidence to support the allegations, and the prime minister did not get a chance to respond to him before publishing the press release late Friday evening," the source said.
Neither the citizens nor the media will fall for such an openly political act.
Earlier today, journalists from The Standard were told that Johnson's close relationship with a California businesswoman who was assisted by the London Tourism and Promotion Agency was an "open secret" to employees.
Former London Partners (LP) staff members recalled that Arcuri was given seats during Johnson's overseas trade trips as mayor despite the fact that her businesses were not considered "credible" at the time.
Third charged with drug offenses in connection with Mac Miller's death
LOS ANGELES (AP) - In connection with last year's death of rapper Mac Miller as a result of a drug overdose, a third man was arrested and charged with drug offenses.
According to court records, Stephen Walter is suspected of selling counterfeit fentanyl-treated oxycodone pills that Miller had in his possession before his death last September as a result of an accidental overdose of cocaine, alcohol and fentanyl, a strong opioid responsible for an "epidemic" that has swallowed several thousands of lives in the United States.
Walter is accused of delivering pills that another man, Cameron Pettit, sold to Miller.
Court papers unsealed on Tuesday reveal that Pettit had been receiving drugs from Walter throughout August.
Ryan Reavis, who was arrested earlier this week in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, is suspected of acting as Walter's "courier" delivering the pills to Pettit.
Neither of these men were directly charged with the manslaughter of Miller, nor have any of them put forward a line of defense in their case.
Walter, who has been paroled in a 2005 drug case, is in custody and has already been sentenced to five months' imprisonment for violating the conditions of his release.
Prosecutors dealing with the case, first reported on Thursday by TMZ's celebrity website, demanded that Walter remain in custody awaiting trial, saying there is a serious risk of the accused running away.
The reply to the message left on his lawyer's answering machine didn't come right away.
Pettit was charged in federal court on September 4, and his attorney declined to comment.
The words of Miller's rhyming songs are an honest conversation about his depression and drug use, which has earned him fans among the greatest hip-hop stars.
Hailing from Pittsburgh, Miller, real name Malcolm James Myers McCormick, had a relationship for two years with singer Ariana Grande that ended earlier in 2018.
After his death, she published a touching film with Miller on Instagram and the song "Thank U Next", in which she mentions him with love.
Miller is one of the musicians whose deaths in recent years have been linked to opioid abuse.
Matthew Roberts, guitarist of the band 3 Doors Down, also died from an overdose in 2016 and found both fentanyl and hydrocodone in his system.
This article has a change: the correct spelling of Walter's name is "Stephen", not "Steven".
The 9-year-old Nigerian creates over 30 games for mobile devices
The 9-year-old makes a hide-and-seek game with the free Scratch 2 programming app.
Scratch 2 allows users to create games, animations, and stories online or offline.
So far, Basil has generated over 30 games for mobile devices with its help.
In today's game, there is a bat that hides according to the program.
The player scores a point each time he catches a bat that leaves the hideout.
I learned how to create games in an accelerated course.
"Now I create them when I'm bored," said Basil CNN.
In March, his dad enrolled him in a five-day accelerated course for children aged 5 to 15.
The course, organized by Codefest International, aimed to provide children like Basil with access to new technologies such as robotics and virtual reality.
The boy's father, Basil Okpara senior, claims that Basil played a lot of games on mobile devices.
“When he was 4 I bought him a tablet because he was always grabbing the phone and playing on it.
He has played a lot of Candy Crush and Temple Run, ”said CNN's father.
But Basil's interest in making games grew when he was 7, and he was scolded for spending all his time playing games.
"One day he was playing on a tablet as usual and he was so engrossed in it that I got upset," said my father.
Out of anger, I said, "You're just playing games all the time, can't you think about making your own games for others to play?"
Saying these words I was nervous and didn't think he would take them seriously, ”he added.
From then on, Basil showed an active interest in learning to create his own games, persuading his parents to buy a laptop and enroll it in a course where he learned the basics of game development.
Basil, who wants to be a scientist in the future, gives his games titles based on their content.
One of his games, "Mosquito mash", is available on the Google play store.
Africa has the largest population of young people in the world and, like Basil, this population holds the leadership of innovation on the continent.
Two Nigerian 12-year-olds were recently hailed for using codes to create robots to separate their work from home.
In May, the Acrobot team from a girls' high school in Ghana won the Robofest 2019 competition for programming robots for stacking crates.
And thanks to the growing investments of tech giants like Google and Microsoft in Africa, Basil and his contemporaries are well on their way to a career as coding stars.
The former chairman of the Republican Party of North Carolina will plead guilty to lying on corruption
Court papers filed on Friday show that the former chairman of the Republican Party in North Carolina will admit in court that he lied to federal agents investigating the corruption of a major political donor.
Robin Hayes is due to plead guilty next Wednesday.
According to a factual basis document prepared as part of a defensive settlement and signed by Hayes's attorney, Hayes knew that he was making a false statement to FBI agents investigating the corruption in 2018.
The defense settlement was sealed, and it is not clear from the factual basis to which allegations Hayes will plead.
Initially, he was accused of collusion, corruption and giving false testimony.
Prosecutors accused former Congressman Hayes of participating in an insurance company's government plan to direct campaign donations to the country's top insurance regulator in exchange for special treatment.
Principal Greg Lindberg and two of his associates were accused of trying to bribe state insurance commissioner Mike Causey.
Lindberg is the founder of an insurance and investment firm, being one of the state's top political donors in recent years, having donated more than $ 5 million to national and federal candidates and committees since 2016.
He mainly supported the goals and politicians of the Republican Party, but made donations to Democrats as well.
His lawyer did not reply to Friday's e-mail requesting a comment.
Hayes' attorney Kearns Davis did not reply to Friday's email requesting comment.
Court documents on Friday show that Hayes lied to FBI agents in August 2018 when he said he had not spoken to Causey about employees of the state's Department of Insurance.
According to the factual basis document, Hayes actually spoke to the Insurance Commissioner about Lindberg's request to make changes to the staff employed by the market regulator.
Prosecutors say Hayes also helped Lindberg arrange a meeting with Causey and that he discussed the bribe directly with the regulator.
According to an April indictment, Lindberg required special treatment for his insurance business and planned to donate up to $ 2 million to Causey's re-campaign in 2020.
It appears from the indictment that the collusion also included a request to replace the official in the department that controlled Lindberg's company.
Republican Causey reported the alleged corruption attempt to federal agents and helped them gather evidence on the case.
No charges were brought against him.
According to the indictment, Lindberg's accomplice ordered Hayes to donate $ 250,000 to the Causey campaign during an interview that also included Lindberg and Causey.
During the conversation, Hayes initially protested that the transfer of this amount of money would attract attention, but the accusation shows that he eventually relented.
"Whatever you all want to do, we'll do," said Hayes, according to the indictment.
"Okay, I'll take care of it."
A spokeswoman for the federal attorney did not reply to the e-mail asking for more information about the settlement.

The first section to enter the tunnel is performed by a Polish-Ukrainian consortium of companies: IDS-BUD S.A. from Warsaw and the ALTIS-HOLDING Corporation from Kiev, the tunnel section - the Italian company Astaldi, and the third - the Italian company Salini.
The total cost of these tasks is nearly PLN 2.5 billion.

The amount of co-financing is over PLN 1.3 billion.
A total of 38 engineering structures (bridges, viaducts, flyovers) and a two-chamber tunnel with a length of 2.06 km are being built along this section.
According to the announcement of the road administrator, the 7.6-kilometer section Lubień - Repair will be made available this year, with a temporary connection to the old DK7, which drivers will bypass the construction of the tunnel.
The last section, Naprawa - Skomielna Biała, approx. 3 km long, will be used by drivers in 2021, after the completion of the construction of a two-chamber tunnel with a length of approx. 2.06 km each.
Our goal is a welfare state
“We are building a welfare state in Poland,” announced Minister of Justice Zbigniew Ziobro.
He came to Szczecin to persuade to vote for councilor Dariusz Matecki, a candidate for the Sejm from the Law and Justice list.
"The program of good change is the implementation of the strategy of the Polish version of the welfare state," said the minister.
“We want Poles to earn much better, and to make their lives on a higher level.
This is necessary, because otherwise young, dynamic, well-educated people will leave Poland, and we cannot afford it.
For four years our government has consistently implemented the program it pledged to implement four years ago.
We said we would introduce the 500 plus program.
The Civic Platform, Donald Tusk and Ewa Kopcz said it was impossible that the money was simply not there.
We proved that the money is there and it was, only the PO did not care about those to whom it was supposed to go ”.
Ziobro also reminded about the layette for children and the thirteenth retirement - and that the fourteenth retirement is also planned.
Apart from the "prudent distribution of the national income," PiS's priorities are a fair state and economic development.
The money should not go to a great stream only to the pockets of the chosen ones who have good relations with the establishment and the authorities, but should evenly go to the whole society - said the politician.

For the sake of the well-being of users, Facebook will try to hide the likes counter
As part of a world-first experiment to improve user well-being, some Facebook users will soon miss the likes, reactions and video views counter under others' posts.
The likes will be hidden and visible only to the author of the post, and this change will be implemented in Australia following a similar test implemented on Instagram in July.
The new version of Facebook, launched this Friday, will also be launched in Australia.
Mia Garlick, Facebook's director of privacy in Australia, said the change was the result of a survey of well-being and mental health professionals' opinion indicating that the like counter may lead to comparison with others.
"The response from the many anti-bullying groups working with us as well as from mental health organizations has been really positive," Garlick said.
Eliminating this counter will make people focus on the quality of their interactions and the quality of the content, not the number of likes or reactions.
Sharing with others through the platform is expected to be more enjoyable and not perceived as competition, she said.
Garlick said companies that base their activities on Facebook would continue to receive the same metrics and observations they had access to so far.
She stated that it was too early to say if the test would be extended to other countries, as was the case with Instagram when Australia, Canada, Brazil, New Zealand, Japan, Italy and Ireland were included.
As with Instagram, which is owned by Facebook, there is no indication of when the experiment will end or whether the change will be made permanent.
"Initial user comments on the new Instagram rules were positive, but at this stage we're still learning and listening to feedback," she said.
Commenting on the site of the world experiment, Garlick said Australia has very active, technically savvy Facebook and Instagram users.
We believe that this is an amazing country that will provide us with reliable opinions on whether the new experience is of value to the people using our services or not.

Brother sentenced to life imprisonment for the honor killing of social media star Qandeel Baloch
Qandeel Baloch, who became a star thanks to photos posted on social media, was strangled in July 2016.
The brother of Pakistani social media star Qandeel Baloch was found guilty of her murder on Friday and sentenced to life imprisonment for the most famous "honor killing" in the patriarchal country.
Baloch, who made a name for herself by publishing bold selfies - polite by Western standards, but considered provocative in highly misogynistic Pakistan - was strangled in July 2016.
Her brother Muhammad Waseem was arrested.
A few days later he said in a press conference that he had no remorse for his actions and stated that he had "obviously" murdered his sister and that her behavior was "unacceptable."
His lawyer Sardar Mehmood told AFP that a court in the western town of Multan found his client guilty and sentenced him to life in prison in a long-awaited sentence.
"Inshallah (God willing) will be acquitted by a higher court," he said.
Earlier, Baloch's mother, Anwar Mai, told AFP that she hoped her son would be acquitted.
He is innocent.
It was my daughter, and this is my son, ”she said.
The Baloch murder hit the top of the world's news services and renewed calls for action against the so-called epidemic. honor killings, in which victims - usually women - are killed for breaking patriarchal social rules.
Women were set on fire, strangled, shot or stabbed for offenses such as choosing their own husband or - as in the case of Baloch - for bringing "shame" to their family by manifesting their sexuality.
The killings are usually committed by a close relative.
According to Pakistani law, Qisas (blood money) and Diyat (retaliation) can ask the relatives of the victim for forgiveness.
Three months after the Baloch murder, parliament passed new legislation introducing a life sentence for honor killings.
However, whether a murder is considered an honorary crime is left to the judge's discretion, which means that murderers can theoretically rely on a different motive and be acquitted.
In the case of Baloch, her parents first insisted that their son should under no circumstances be shown favors.
However, devastated by the thought that they could lose him as well, they changed their minds and stated that they wanted his acquittal.
The international outcry caused by the murder prompted the Pakistani state to take an unprecedented step and declare itself heir with his parents, forcing the case to go forward.
One of Baloch's more famous accomplishments is offering to do a striptease in front of a Pakistani cricket team and wearing a low-cut purple gown on Valentine's Day.
She was criticized and threatened, but many, including young people, saw her as breaking the limits in a country where posing as Kim Kardashian's figure could be considered a bold and political movement to empower women.
The roots of "honor" killing lie in the tribal social norms that still prevail in South Asia and in particular regulate women's behavior, although men can also be victims.

On Friday, the UN organization said rising violence had doubled the number of people displaced from northwestern Nigeria to around 40,000 in the past four months. people.
The UN Refugee Agency said the unrest has created a "new humanitarian emergency" that requires an interagency effort to raise $ 35.5 million in new funding by the end of the year.
Babar Baloch, a spokesman for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, said that the Islamist group Boko Haram, which has been leading the uprising in the north of the country for a decade, is not responsible for the recent attacks.
The rise in violence in the Nigerian states of Sokoto, Zamfara and Katsina over the past 10 months is rather the result of organized armed groups.
"It paints a terrifying picture of anarchy and insecurity," he told reporters Friday.
He reported frequent reports of kidnappings, torture, extortion, murders and sexual assaults by attackers who also destroy homes and steal belongings.
Military and police were deployed to fight criminals in the region.
However, the military is being distracted from fighting Boko Haram and the Islamic State branch in West Africa, which broke off from its former grouping in 2016.
"Refugees don't come with the names of the groups," he said.
Instead, they come with horrible stories.
Most refugees find their way to neighboring Niger.
In a statement, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees said he expected more people to flee to Niger in the coming months as the security situation deteriorated, particularly in the state of Sokoto.
A new trial date has been set for a man accused of killing a woman and two children
A new trial date has been scheduled for a Guatemalan man accused of killing an Iowa resident and her two children.
Polk County Court records show that 31-year-old Marvin Escobar-Orellana has been charged with three first-degree murders under the false name originally given to police by the authorities: Marvin Esquivel-Lopez.
He pleaded not guilty.
Police said he fatally shot 29-year-old Flores-Rodriguez, her 11-year-old daughter and 5-year-old son on July 16 at their home in Des Moines.
Court records show that the new date for the hearing, January 27, will give representatives of both parties more time to prepare.
U.S. Immigration and Customs officials say Escobar-Orellana is in the United States illegally and was deported twice prior to the shooting.
In 2010, he was convicted of illegally entering the US.
The Sun: Boris Johnson amid cabinet revolt to lower Brexit demands and reach compromise agreement with Brussels
Just three weeks before the final summit of EU leaders, fears are growing among the most important people in the country in the vicinity of the prime minister that he will not have enough time to win more important concessions.
Boris Johnson faces the risk of a government revolt to lower its demands on Brexit and reach a compromise deal with the EU.
There has been a stalemate in the negotiations on a new customs regime that would replace the backstop mechanism for Ireland, as Brussels described the proposals for other arrangements offered by Johnson as "impracticable".
Crown ministers expect EU policymakers, led by German leader Angela Merkel, to offer the criticized Tory leader a last-minute compromise in the form of a three-year time limit for the implementation of the backstop mechanism.
The Sun journalists spoke to three different cabinet ministers, all of whom are gearing up to confront the prime minister after the annual Tory conference next week in Manchester.
They will demand that the prime minister abandon the "aggressive" strategy developed by his close adviser Dominik Cummings of trying to bluff the EU and threaten to leave the EU without a deal, and then accept his last-minute offer by the EU.
One cabinet minister described the shattering Supreme Court verdict ruling on Tuesday to end the suspension of parliament as a "wake-up call" and added: "The only way we can leave the European Union on October 31 is by contract.
We will never defeat arithmetic in the House of Commons, which works to our disadvantage.
The prime minister must now bow to what he can get.
Aggressiveness doesn't pay: it is clear that Cummings's plan backfired.
We cannot fight battles on so many fronts.
The second cabinet minister has pledged to tell Johnson to try to push past Prime Minister Theresa May's deal if all else fails.
The minister said: "If I have to, I will tell the Prime Minister to bring the agreement proposed by Theresa May to the House of Commons again."
There are chances of it being voted through, and everyone cares very much about the end of this topic.
If we are forced to extend the deadline, it's over for Boris Johnson and it's over for all of us.
John Major accused Boris Johnson of not taking negotiations seriously.
In a biting speech, the former first Tory minister said: “The prime minister tells us that he wants a deal with the European Union.
However, we do not see him sitting in Brussels and working on it.
Instead, he wrestles bulls in Scotland, checks the balls in Wales and argues with citizens on the main streets - all in front of the world, as if the election campaign was already underway. "
A spokesman for the current prime minister admitted yesterday that the deal was still distant and added: "No one should be under any illusions: it is a very long way to reach an agreement."
However, the spokesman also said Benn's law implementing a three-month Brexit postponement in the absence of an agreement "actively weakens our negotiating position" in Brussels.
He said: "There is no doubt that this law makes our negotiations difficult, but despite it, the prime minister and his colleagues are still trying to make progress through their hard work."
Brexit secretary Stephen Barclay returns to Brussels today for more talks with Michel Barnier on the EU side.
They will be discussing a book on how the entire Irish food and livestock zone functions.

Perfectly imperfect
The mongrel was about to be put to sleep.
However, this was prevented.
The bitch was transported from Romania to Great Britain by Beacon Animal Rescue Center.
The photo of the dog was posted on Facebook.

But still no one came forward.
“The fact that no one wanted her made me want to take care of her more and more.
She was sensitive and needed love, ”Kate said.
Eventually, the couple decided to adopt Bonnie.
“Our Bonnie is perfectly imperfect.
We love her as she is, and if anyone doesn't like the way she looks, that's his problem, not ours, "said the woman.

She is followed by over 14,000 on Instagram. Internet users.
Lorraine Kelly: It was said that I would never make a career on TV with a Glasgow accent
According to Lorraine Kelly, television chiefs said that due to the Glasgow accent she would "never make a career" as a presenter.
Recalling her 35-year career in the television industry, Kelly, 59, admitted that she felt "very nervous" prior to her first screen appearance.
"I was only 25 and I was very nervous," she said.
When I was working as an information retrieval officer at BBC Scotland, the boss of bosses said that my Glasgow accent would never make me successful on TV.
I traveled to London to meet the entire TV team and watch the show broadcast before taking over from the Glasgow office.
I will never forget the interview with star Bette Davis by Anne Diamond and Mike Morris that morning.
I couldn't believe I was in the same room with a living legend.
I knew this was where I wanted to stay.
Before Kelly became a Scottish TV correspondent in 1984, she began her career as a reporter for a local newspaper in East Kibride, Scotland.
She then went on to host GMTV, ITV Breakfast and Daybreak before launching her morning show Lorraine, which was named after her.
She will celebrate the 35th anniversary of her career with a special program, during which she will remember her best remembered moments and interviews.
The presenter said that the secrets of her long TV career are "passion and enthusiasm" and "curiosity", adding: "You have to work hard.
Be honest and authentic.
Prepare for programs and be both interested and interesting.
When she mentions media reports that touched her emotions, Kelly reveals that it was "very difficult" for her to cover the Dunblane attack.
I had no idea that many families of killed or injured children were watching our Dunblane show live the day after the horrific murder of sixteen children and their teacher.
One of the mothers, Pam Ross, whose 5-year-old daughter Joanna was murdered, asked me for a private meeting during which we talked for hours at her home.
The whole meeting was quiet, and Pam Ross and I have been friends since Joanna's funeral I attended.
She added that it was "extremely difficult" to interview Kate and Gerry McCann shortly after their daughter Madeleine disappeared in 2007 and that she "truly admires their strength and courage."
They have to deal with the pain because they don't know what happened to their beloved daughter and put up with the hottest comments of the internet trolls.
I am with them with all my heart.
Lorraine Kelly's 35th Anniversary TV show will start at 8:30 am on Monday, September 30 at ITV station.
Zimbabwe: Chiwenga feared imprisonment
A senior government official argued that Vice President Constantino Chiwenga had rejected an offer by late President Robert Mugabe to take over at the height of the coup, because he feared imprisonment to confirm a military seizure of power in November 2017.
As reported last week by The Zimbabwe Independent, Mugabe offered Vice President Chiwenga to assume the presidency during his coup negotiations with the military.
However, a senior government official said on social media that Chiwenga did not decline the offer out of fear, but because he reviewed Mugabe's plan to use it to prove to world leaders and the African Union (AU) that he had in fact lost in the coup.
In a Twitter thread that confirmed that the 37-year-old ruler of Zimbabwe wanted to hand over power to Vice President Chiwenga rather than President Emmerson Mnangagwa, Jamwanda 2, which government officials confirmed to be a senior government official in the Office of the President and Council of Ministers, it was argued that at that point there were intense negotiations on this matter.
Government officials claimed that Mugabe had contacted Chiwenga through one of his envoys when he realized that power was slipping through his hands.
Mediation between the military authorities and the deceased ex-president had, according to a senior government official, three stages.
The official claimed that among the participants of the negotiations was President's spokesman George Charamba, the then head of the Central Intelligence Organization Aaron Nhepera and the clergyman representing the Roman Catholic bishop Fidelis Mukonori.
The former head of the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe, Gideon Gono, was another element since Mugabe sent him on a one-man mission to pass the presidency offer to Chiwenga, who was head of the Zimbabwe Defense Forces (SOZ).
The man, who was considered an icon of Africa even more than in his lifetime, tried in vain to obtain AU's condemnation of military action in an attempt to persuade other African leaders to intervene.
The president's offer, made by the late (Mugabe) to the then Chief of Defense Forces (SSO) Chiwenga, was not a choice.
"It was a desperate act to save a situation that had accelerated dangerously fast by removing part of the deceased's family," wrote an official (Jamwanda).
But there was also some political temptation by which the deceased sought to turn things around in a completely non-diplomatic way.
Suffice it to recall that the commanders stated that they had not overthrown and will not overthrow the constitutional order, which would have caused their conflict with the AU's position on the coups.
The deceased (Mugaba) hoped the SSO (Chiwenga) would then take the bait, violently breaking the leadership's claims that they had not overthrown the constitutional order.
The hope for the deceased (Mugabe) was that the AU, which, incidentally, was still highly confused about the whole situation and how it fitted into its theoretical taxonomy of upheavals, would then have no choice but to describe it as an upheaval in hence the call for military intervention would be credible.
It was in this spirit and with such calculation that this offer was made.
Officials claimed that Mugabe made the move when he realized that the defense forces were no longer ready to protect him.
They said Mugabe was forced to sign a letter of resignation after warning the strongman that he was risking a Gaddafi-style lynching.
The military chiefs told him that they would not turn their rifles against the citizens if they went to his Blue Roof residence.
And at the same time, Mugabe had two wishes, which was to save his family and prove that the military had seized power, ”the official added.
The then SSO and commanders read the assumptions correctly.
The Messenger (Gono) carrying this desperate message was made to understand - through a powerful metaphor - that isu tiri vemakwapa-makwapa (we belong to the camouflage sect, i.e. the military), we are not politicians, nor are we in competition with each other on the political level, argued a senior official state.
Government officials say the military has alerted military commanders in the area via attachés who are in Zimbabwe that they are not going to overthrow Mugabe, but to crack down on the "criminals" surrounding him.
Mugabe attempted to use the same strategy to tempt Mnangagwa again from his brief exile in South Africa so that they could talk about the coup and succession.
In addition to negotiating with the army, Mugabe also sought help in the region.
South Africans, a key part of the process - not only because of their economic and regional power, but also because then-president Jacob Zuma was president of the Sadc - refused to intervene but made it clear that if the military invaded the House of Mugabe As it has repeatedly threatened in the background, South African troops will arrive at Harare without delay.
"It didn't work because Putin and African leaders didn't take this route," an informant told the Independent.
China needs strong leadership or it will "collapse", says the policy document
China needs strong, unified leadership from the Communist Party or the country will “fall apart,” the government said in a policy paper released Friday on the eve of the 70th anniversary of the People's Republic of China.
The Chinese government's press office said in a white paper that the country's successes since the Communists took power 70 years ago boil down to party leadership.
China is vast, has complex national conditions, and is rarely seen as having administrative difficulties.
The document mentions that without a unified and strong leadership force, China will move towards division and disintegration, which will be catastrophic for the world.
When solving problems, the Chinese authorities have long used a hard-handed policy, as in the case of suppressing the pro-democratic protests in Beijing in 1989, justifying it with the need to maintain the stability of the country.
Strongly ruling President Xi Jinping, who will lead the anniversary of the world's second-largest economy on Tuesday, has tightened party rule even further since taking office in late 2012, and imposed sanctions against those who may challenge power.
Xi also oversees a military modernization program that has upset the region.
The document states that China is not seeking to export its development model, nor is it willing to import any foreign models, seeking only peace and not "hegemony".
The Chinese do not have the conquest of other nations or world domination in their genes.
In modern times, China has been oppressed by great powers and has been deeply affected by wars and unrest as a result of the suffering it has suffered; China will never cause others the suffering it has suffered.
China is celebrating this anniversary in uncertain times for a country caught in a bitter trade war with the United States and facing challenges from a slowing economy as well as anti-government protests in Chinese-controlled Hong Kong.
The document says China will never "trade" its most important interests or allow anything to harm its sovereignty.
Regarding the country's trade dispute with Washington, the document stated that "the danger of trade wars and a further increase in tariffs do not solve the problems."
China is a mature economy with a full industrial system, a complete industry chain, a broad market place and a strong pace of economic development.
The document added that "trade wars will never weaken it."
China is sure that it is able to face difficulties, turn crisis into new opportunities and open a new world.
It also added that the United States should look rationally at China's development because China does not intend to challenge the United States' position, nor does it want to replace the United States.
The United States cannot control China, and it is even less likely to stop China's development.
Restraining and weakening other countries, and transferring domestic disagreements overseas will not give the United States a strong position.
Jacek Pałkiewicz's world: Dubai, true face
The Dubai emirate is a place that continues to seek its own identity, torn between Bedouin tradition, religious Islamic radicalism and progressive extremism.
This trend-setting leader in global tourism awakens the imagination and desires, tickling the vanity of the wealthy with snobbish hotels and attracting investors and traders seeking fortune with the status of a tax haven.
Websites infect with enthusiasm for this dream city, an exciting temple of luxury and a concentrated concentration of 21st century architecture in one.
Established on oil-rich sands, the emirate has become Eden for those who love luxury, five-star hotels, beautiful weather and swimming pools located hundreds of meters above the ground.
Many admire the splendor that is present here, appreciate the creative hyperactivity and hysterical pursuit of avant-garde.
Here is a city whose motto says it all: "surprise, daze and charm".
And at almost every step.
But there are also those who can look at Dubai critically, calling it a city without character.
As the British writer Lawrence Osborne notes, "the metropolis full of extremes and contradictions has taken the dimension of tacky grotesque".
It has turned into a futuristic nightmare, completely dominated by the "Guinness Book of Records", the emirate's unofficial constitution.
Because here everything has to be bigger and prettier than anywhere else in the world.
Among the thicket of excesses and ostentatious luxury, however, something is missing, which in old Europe is perhaps not very transparent, but essential for the quality of life.
In Wrocław, Berlin or Madrid, everyone feels at home.
And in Dubai, definitely not.
Running away from the world of magic, I ripped off its golden mask, revealing the other face of artificial paradise.
A face that is not spoken about or written about.
I show the poverty of Asians, contrasting with the fairy-tale living conditions of the divine caste of ethnic Dubaiians, grandsons of illiterate Bedouins.
I venture into places of extreme poverty, for example, to a ghetto on the outskirts of a city where an army of Asian workers lives in cruel conditions.
They were the ones who built the sky-high desert Manhattan in one generation in slave conditions.
They came here, deluded by good wages and the possibility of ensuring a decent life for their families, and found a nightmare.
The tourist will never see it, because it could blow up the myth of Dubai created over the years.
The increasing criticism of the international community makes the topic of cheap labor highly embarrassing for the Emir.
Spice Girls' Mel C has banned talking about diets in her home after her struggle with an eating disorder
Melanie Chisholm of the Spice Girls team admitted that diets are banned in her home after she struggled with an eating disorder herself, eating nothing but fruit and vegetables for years.
Sporty Spice did not feed for years and was "obsessed with exercising" due to the pressures of being a member of an internationally famous pop group, which later caused depression and eating disorders.
She now reveals that her experiences influence the way she raises her daughter Scarlet, so she "does not allow diets to be talked about in her home."
"Scarlet is 10 now and I am beginning to see that she is more aware of her appearance," Mel said.
“I believe that one of the positives of experiencing an eating disorder is that I am very aware of the way I speak in front of her.
It has now become my habit to use positive language.
In an interview with Women's Health magazine, Mel, who rose to fame in the 1990s as a member of the Spice Girls band, said that in the pre-social media days, "outrageous" comments about her in the press caused her complexes.
"I started looking at myself inadequately, giving up certain food groups, exercising more and more obsessively until I became underweight," she says.
"I was sick and it probably lasted for several years."
A photo that shook the world
The Polish girl and the American documentary filmmaker gave the world a testimony of the cruelty of war.
The legendary photo of Julien Bryan can be seen at the Museum of the Second World War in Gdańsk
“Hear my story.
I speak from the besieged city of Warsaw.
I can and must speak on behalf of the Polish nation about what happened here.
America must act, must help! ”Documentary photographer Julien Bryan began his radio speech.
On the tragic days of September 1939, he was in the capital of Poland, he saw the drama of the bombed city and its inhabitants.
His account echoed widely in the West.
The President of Warsaw, Stefan Starzyński, first helped him, borrowed a car, but then asked him to leave immediately for his own safety.
Bryan wrote a farewell letter to his family in the US, deposited it in an embassy safe, and ... stayed.
For the next four weeks, he tried to be everywhere where Warsaw residents.
400 planes and artillery attacked the city almost non-stop.
Bryan immortalized death, suffering, and the struggle to survive in the ruins of the city.
Just before the capitulation, he and the embassy employees took the negatives overseas.
He did not stop talking about Hitler's crimes.
He appealed to the world: "What happened to Warsaw will meet Paris, London and even New York."
His shocking chronicles were viewed by President Eleanor Roosevelt.
Soon the US began to prepare for war.
“Dad showed the truth and thus fought against German propaganda.
They made films that glorified their chivalry.
They said they didn't attack women and children and people believed them, ”says Sam Bryan, Julien's son.
A jury trial against a former athlete accused of multiple rapes
A jury trial is pending against a former University of Delaware baseball player who has been charged with multiple sexual assaults.
On Friday, after 10 days of testifying and listening to arguments, members of the jury began to decide the fate of 23-year-old Clay Conaway.
A woman who turns 21 claims that Conaway raped her when she went to his home in June 2018.
The incident took place three weeks after the two made an acquaintance on the Bumble meetings page and the man sent the woman a photo of himself showing himself naked.
The woman is one of six accusing Conaway of sexual assault in 2013-2018.
According to the prosecutors, a hug, which the woman agreed to, turned into rape, which was met with opposition.
Defenders cite the woman's conflicting accounts and gaps in memory, and claim that the woman probably regretted having an intimate relationship.
Gold on two wheels: Polish bike for a million zlotys
A gold-plated bicycle worth one million zlotys was on display at the 10th jubilee edition of the Kielce BIKE-EXPO International Bicycle Fair.
This is an unusual vehicle printed on a 3D printer.
Its constructor, 30-year-old Adam Zdanowicz has just received a bicycle Oscar for him at the World Custom Bicycle Exhibition in Las Vegas.
The unusual copy made a sensation at the fair. - The bike is covered with gold spray chrome, underneath it is the highest quality silver.
This is an unusual coating made by my friend from Żory.
“There is a saddle, there are pedals, there is a steering wheel, you could ride it normally.
It can develop speeds of 50 kilometers per hour.
It's an electric bike, ”explains its designer.
"The body of the bicycle was printed on a 3D printer.
They are cubes that form a kind of vortex.
I came up with the idea for this model while riding my first bike home a few years ago.
I drew it on a piece of paper and put it deep in a drawer.
The sketch waited five years for implementation.
The bike itself took three years to build, ”adds Adam Zdanowicz.
“It was cruelly difficult to hide everything under the body.
Inside there are batteries, wires and elements that make up the structure.
It is hidden under the body, slid in 11 elements on the steel frame of the bicycle.
The engine is also hidden there.
The handlebar for this bike was made a week before my departure to the United States for the World Bicycle Exhibition.
Until the end I could not decide what this steering wheel should be.
She folds up for transport.
The bike weighs 90 kilograms, ”he concludes.
The gold-plated bike was recognized in Las Vegas, the most important competition category "Best Amazing Custom Single".
The footage shows heavy pollution of popular tourist spots
Sydney Bay surrounded by the opera house, Circular Quay harbor, Luna Park amusement park and of course the famous Harbor Bridge makes a significant contribution to the amount of 21.9 billion dollars, which is pumped into the Australian economy annually by tourists visiting Sydney.
However, there is an ugly truth under the bridge.
The well-known Sydney Bay is one of the most polluted waterways in the country, and is fed annually by a volume of pollution equal to the capacity of about 15 Olympic swimming pools.
These terrifying statistics make one of our greatest tourist assets one of our dirtiest reservoirs.
According to new footage titled "Sydney Bay - Up and Down", the waters around Australia's most popular city are full of cigarette butts, plastic nets and bottles, lost shoes and clothing, and even dead animals, all draining into the bay along with rainwater.
However, the biggest component choking our shipping channels is plastic.
"I would call it a paradox," said Dr. Katherine Dafforn, associate director of the Sydney Harbor Research Program, in a video released on September 27, with the release of the video intentionally coinciding with World Tourism Day.
The reservoir looks beautiful, but it is one of the most altered and contaminated estuaries along our coast.
The CSIRO agency estimates that every hour about 1,560 kg of plastic gets into our waterways, and most of it flows into the bay via storm sewers.
"After such heavy rainfall, the bay ... it looks pretty dire," said Dr. Dafforn.
Two-thirds of the pollution comes from rainwater.
However, like the iceberg, the problem with Sydney Bay is much more serious below the water surface, as 70% of the plastic that gets into the ocean ends up on the seabed.
"In my opinion, unless you spend time underwater, you cannot really become aware of what is deep there," said Richard Nicholls, owner of Dive Center Manly, noting that he and his team independently pull about 500 kg of plastic per year.
I think if more people knew (what is under the water) they would be just terrified.
It's overwhelming ... more than half of what we find at the bottom is plastic nets.
The remaining 50% are things that are at least made of plastic.
When you look out over the bay it looks beautiful, and people can't believe that all this plastic and all that rubbish we are picking up right below the surface.
Jeremy Brown, Co-founder and Managing Director of Ocean Protect, stated that there are ways in which people - locals and tourists alike - could help reduce the amount of plastic and debris entering our waterways.
"It has to start at the source," he said.
We need to reduce the amount of plastic we use, better recycle materials, and be more aware of what we discharge in the wastewater that ends up in the oceans.
If we destroy the ocean, we will be doomed because 50% of the oxygen we breathe comes from the ocean.
It absorbs 30% of carbon dioxide and is our food source.
However, we can tidy up this bay and restore it to its former glory, and it's very simple.
If we kill our oceans, we will kill ourselves.
The footage, funded by the recycling company TOMRA as part of its wider efforts to educate Australians about protecting the environment and reducing the negative impact of beverage containers that frequently end up in the environment, coincides with a study of the relationship between plastics and health psychology, the results of which were published this month.
