12 | 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. |
13 | “Why does Croatia claim, with all its territory, that Trgovska Gora in Bosnia is the best place?” Asked Drljaca. |
14 | We must not be humiliated by them! |

36 | The US Congress, 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, did not object to this transaction, which means that the last condition was met before starting the purchase negotiations. |
37 | The Congressional decision, while not unexpected, is of great political importance. |

41 | Proposals to purchase American fifth generation F-35 fighters on behalf of the Polish authorities were submitted in May by Defense Minister Mariusz Błaszczak. |
42 | The Polish offer was discussed in June this year during the meeting between President Andrzej Duda and President Donald Trump at the White House. |
43 | The implementation of this agreement, if finalized, will be supervised by representatives of the Pentagon as part of the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program. |
44 | Under the FMS program, Poland has already acquired, among others Patriot anti-missile system. |
45 | The price of one F-35 fighter at the time of the bid by Poland was - without armaments and technical assistance - about $ 89.2 million. |
46 | PAP interlocutors expressed their hope that the final negotiations on the purchase of American combat aircraft by Poland will be completed this year. |
47 | The possible participation of Polish subcontractors in this transaction - i.e. the offset - will be discussed directly with the American manufacturers of F-35 fighters. |

257 | One of the leading people in charge of Sokiemz Burak is Krzysztof Brejza, who has extensive experience in organizing the hate department. |
258 | SokzBuraka are social pages and profiles with memes and jokes related to politics. |
259 | Krzysztof Szokalski, number 5 on the list, and Halszka Bielecka, number 9 presented their program. |
260 | The announced leader of the list, Krzysztof Tuduj, did not make it to the election rally. |
261 | Candidates raised many problems - from excessive state fiscalism to health care problems. |
262 | The issue of the economic zone was also raised, as it should act for the benefit of all entrepreneurs and not favor foreign capital. |
263 | Climate strike in Budapest - World |
264 | Several thousand people, mostly young people, took part in the climate strike in Budapest, the capital of Hungary, on Friday. |
265 | The government was urged to strive for climate neutrality, declare a climate emergency and pursue a greener policy. |

269 | Boris Johnson referred to the police regulatory body due to a close relationship with businesswoman Jennifer Arcuri |
270 | 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. |
271 | This does not mean that it has somehow been proven. |
272 | The IOPC will now consider whether it is necessary to investigate this matter. |
273 | The matter has been referred to the IOPC, which deals with complaints against members of the police force in England and Wales. |
274 | She was transferred to the police oversight body because Johnson was then in the capacity of the equivalent of the Police Commissioner and Criminal Investigation Commissioner. |
275 | Johnson has denied that there have been any irregularities in his close relationship with Arcuri. |
276 | The order follows a report from The Sunday Times that Arcuri, an American who moved to London seven years ago, received £ 126,000 in budgetary money, as well as privileged access to three foreign trade missions headed by Mayor Johnson . |
277 | As a result of this report, the government has frozen a grant of £ 100,000 to Arcuri-owned Hacker House pending investigation. |
278 | The government faces embarrassing questions about the pre-funding screening procedure. |
279 | However, according to numerous reports, calls to the number were redirected to the California office, where Arcuri, 34, is now expected to live. |
280 | 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. |
281 | Neither the citizens nor the media will fall for such an openly political act. |
282 | Third charged with drug offenses in connection with Mac Miller's death |
283 | 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. |
284 | Walter is accused of delivering pills that another man, Cameron Pettit, sold to Miller. |
285 | Court papers unsealed Tuesday reveal that Pettit had been receiving drugs from Walter throughout August. |
286 | Neither of these men were directly charged with the manslaughter of Miller, nor have any of them made a line of defense in their case. |
287 | 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. |
288 | Prosecutors dealing with the case, first reported on Thursday by the TMZ celebrity website, demanded that Walter remain in custody awaiting trial, saying there is a serious risk of the defendant absconding. |
289 | The reply to the message left on his lawyer's answering machine didn't come right away. |
290 | Pettit was charged in federal court on September 4, and his attorney declined to comment. |
291 | The words of Miller's rhyming songs are an honest conversation about his depression and drug use, and he gained fans from among the greatest hip-hop stars. |
292 | Hailing from Pittsburgh, Miller, real name Malcolm James Myers McCormick, spent two years in a relationship with singer Ariana Grande that ended earlier in 2018. |
293 | Miller is one of the musicians whose deaths in recent years have been linked to opioid abuse. |
294 | 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. |
295 | The 9-year-old Nigerian creates over 30 games for mobile devices |
296 | The 9-year-old creates a hide-and-seek game with the free Scratch 2 programming app. |
297 | Scratch 2 allows users to create games, animations, and stories online or offline. |
298 | So far, Basil has generated over 30 games for mobile devices with its help. |
299 | In today's game, there is a bat that hides according to the program. |
300 | The player scores a point each time he catches a bat that comes out of the hideout. |
301 | I learned how to create games in an accelerated course. |
302 | In March, his dad enrolled him in a five-day accelerated course for children aged 5 to 15. |
303 | The course, organized by Codefest International, aimed to provide children like Basil with access to new technologies such as robotics and virtual reality. |
304 | The boy's father, Basil Okpara Sr., claims that Basil played a lot of games on mobile devices. |
305 | “When he was 4 I bought him a tablet because he was always grabbing the phone and playing on it. |
306 | He has played a lot of Candy Crush and Temple Run, ”said CNN's father. |
307 | But Basil's interest in making games grew when he was 7, and he was scolded for spending all his time playing games. |
308 | Saying these words, I was nervous and I didn't think he would take them seriously, ”he added. |
309 | 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. |
310 | Basil, who wants to be a scientist in the future, gives his games titles based on their content. |
311 | Africa has the largest population of young people in the world and, like Basil, this population holds the leadership of innovation on the continent. |
312 | Two Nigerian 12-year-olds were recently hailed for using codes to create robots to separate their work from home. |
313 | In May, the Acrobot team from a girls' high school in Ghana won the Robofest 2019 competition for programming robots for stacking crates. |
314 | 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. |
315 | The former chairman of the Republican Party of North Carolina will plead guilty to lying on corruption |
316 | Court papers filed Friday show that the former president 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. |
317 | Robin Hayes is due to plead guilty next Wednesday. |
318 | According to a factual 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. |
319 | The defense settlement was sealed, and it is not clear from the factual basis to which allegations Hayes will plead. |
320 | At first, he was accused of collusion, corruption and giving false testimony. |
321 | Prosecutors accused former Congressman Hayes of being involved in an insurance company's government plan to direct campaign contributions to the country's leading insurance regulator in exchange for special treatment. |
322 | Principal Greg Lindberg and two of his associates were accused of trying to bribe state insurance commissioner Mike Causey. |
323 | 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. |
324 | He mainly supported the goals and politicians of the Republican Party, but made donations to Democrats as well. |
325 | His lawyer did not reply to Friday's e-mail requesting a comment. |
326 | Hayes attorney Kearns Davis did not respond to Friday's email requesting comment. |
327 | 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. |
328 | 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. |
329 | Prosecutors say Hayes also helped Lindberg arrange a meeting with Causey and that he discussed the bribe directly with the regulator. |
330 | 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. |
331 | It appears from the indictment that the collusion also included a request to replace the official in the department that controlled Lindberg's company. |
332 | Republican Causey reported the alleged corruption attempt to federal agents and helped them gather evidence on the case. |
333 | No charges were brought against him. |
334 | 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. |
335 | 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. |
336 | Okay, I'll take care of it. |
337 | A spokeswoman for the federal attorney did not reply to the e-mail asking for more information about the settlement. |
338 | The drivers will go on the first section of the new Zakopane |
339 | From Saturday, drivers will be able to use the first of the three built mountain sections of the S7 expressway, i.e. the new Zakopianka - from Skomielna Biała to Rabka Zdrój and further the dual carriageway accelerated road to Chabówka. |
340 | As Iwona Mikrut, the spokeswoman for the Krakow branch of the General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways (GDDKiA), Iwona Mikrut, informed on Friday, this is the first of the three sections of the S7 under construction south of Krakow, from Lubnia to Rabka Zdrój, to be put into operation. |
341 | More than one third of the 6-kilometer section from Skomielna Biała to Chabówka, i.e. |
342 | 2.3 km, it runs on the viaducts. |
343 | Seventeen of them were built, including the longest and the highest, one kilometer long and 50 m high, and four small objects on watercourses at the Skomielna junction. |
344 | From this junction there are exits to Wadowice and Nowy Sącz, to the national road No. 28 and to the old DK7 route. |
345 | From the next junction, Zabornia, you can take the exit on DK47 towards Nowy Targ and Zakopane and on DK7 to Chyżne and the state border with Slovakia. |
346 | On Zbójecka Góra, a passenger service point, MOP, was established. |
347 | The expressway ends at the Zabornia junction in Rabka Zdrój, to which an approximately kilometer long section of DK47 was added to Chabówka and there it was incorporated into the already existing two-lane Chabówka - Rdzawka. |
348 | The section S7 Skomielna Biała - Radka Zdrój and the new section of the national road No. 47 of the main accelerated class (GP) from Rabka Zdrój to Chabówka was built by the Italian company Salini Impregilo from Milan. |
349 | The cost of the investment was approximately PLN 615 million. |
350 | The quality guarantee of the works performed will be valid for 10 years. |
351 | The 16.7 km section of the new Zakopianka, including 15.8 km with the parameters of an expressway, has been divided into three implementation sections, each with a separate contractor: Lubień - Repair, Repair - Skomielna Biała and Skomielna Biała - Rabka Zdrój. |
352 | The first section to enter the tunnel is carried out by the 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. |
353 | The total cost of these tasks is nearly PLN 2.5 billion. |
354 | The investment is co-financed from the European Union funds under the Infrastructure and Environment Operational Program 2014–2020. |
355 | The amount of co-financing is over PLN 1.3 billion. |
356 | 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. |
357 | 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 avoid the construction of the tunnel. |
358 | 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. |
359 | Our goal is a welfare state |
360 | “We are building a welfare state in Poland,” announced Minister of Justice Zbigniew Ziobro. |
361 | He came to Szczecin to persuade to vote for councilor Dariusz Matecki, a candidate for the Sejm from the Law and Justice list. |
362 | “We want Poles to earn much better, to make their lives on a higher level. |
363 | It is necessary, because otherwise young, dynamic, well-educated people will leave Poland, and we cannot afford it. |
364 | Our government has been consistently implementing the program it pledged four years ago for four years. |
365 | We said we would introduce the 500 plus program. |
366 | The Civic Platform, Donald Tusk and Ewa Kopcz said it was impossible that the money was simply not there. |
367 | We proved that the money was there and it was, only the PO did not care about those to whom it was supposed to go ”. |
368 | Ziobro also reminded about the layette for children and the thirteenth retirement - and that the fourteenth retirement is also planned. |
369 | The money should not go into a huge stream only into 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. |

387 | Part of Sopocka Street in Nisko has already been expanded |
388 | On Tuesday, September 24, the extended Sopocka Street in Nisko was officially commissioned. |
389 | The total value of this task was PLN 1 million 803 thousand, of which PLN 26 thousand was co-financed from the Social Fund, while the remaining amount was own contribution from the Niżański Poviat and the Nisko Commune and Town. |

395 | Facebook will hide the likes counter for the sake of the well-being of its users |
396 | As part of the world's first experiment to improve user well-being, some Facebook users will soon miss the likes, reactions, and video views counter under others' posts. |
397 | 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. |
398 | The new version of Facebook, launched this Friday, will also be launched in Australia. |
399 | 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. |
400 | 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. |
401 | Sharing with others through the platform is expected to be more enjoyable and not perceived as competition, she said. |
402 | Garlick said companies that base their activities on Facebook will continue to receive the same metrics and observations that they had access to so far. |
403 | 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 in the test. |
404 | As with Instagram, which is owned by Facebook, there is no indication of when the experiment will end and whether the change will be made permanent. |
405 | „Wstępne komentarze użytkowników na temat nowych zasad obowiązujących na Instagramie były pozytywne, ale na tym etapie wciąż się uczymy i wysłuchujemy opinii” – oświadczyła. |
406 | Commenting on the site of the world experiment, Garlick said Australia has very active, technically savvy Facebook and Instagram users. |
407 | Uważamy, że jest to niesamowity kraj, który dostarczy nam miarodajnych opinii wskazujących, czy nowe doświadczenie jest wartościowe dla osób korzystających z naszych usług, czy nie. |
408 | Częstochowa: Radni chcą od kurii rekompensaty za pielgrzymów |
409 | Częstochowska kuria na razie nie komentuje apelu radnych do tamtejszego metropolity abpa Wacława Depo o przekazywanie rekompensaty finansowej za obsługę gospodarki odpadowej w sezonie pielgrzymkowym. |
410 | The city asks for PLN 1 per pilgrim. |
411 | He spoke about the speech addressed to the metropolitan on Friday at a press conference with the participation of, among others Spring leader Robert Biedroń, organized on Częstochowa Aleja Najświętszej Maryi Panny, the vice-chairman of the local city council and candidate for the Seym Łukasz Kot. |
412 | Kot informed that the day before, the local SLD councilors had passed an appeal to Archbishop Wacław Depo to give the city one zloty from each pilgrim visiting Częstochowa - to support the work of municipal and municipal services, etc. |
413 | We accepted an appeal to Archbishop Depo to help the city, help us clean up after pilgrims, prepare the city for pilgrims. |
414 | „Prosimy o przekazanie do budżetu miasta symbolicznej złotówki od każdego pielgrzyma. |
415 | Thanks to this, the city will be able to provide them with better conditions for their stay in Częstochowa, ”said the deputy chairman of the city council. |
416 | Proszony o komentarz rzecznik częstochowskiej kurii metropolitalnej ks. Mariusz Bakalarz początkowo przygotował kilkuzdaniową odpowiedź, następnie jednak poprosił – jak zasygnalizował, na polecenie abp. Depo – aby zastąpić ją informacją o treści: „Do czasu otrzymania oficjalnego stanowiska rady miasta nie odnosimy się do sprawy”. |
417 | Według informacji biura prasowego Jasnej Góry w całym ub. roku w 200 ogólnopolskich pielgrzymkach do tego sanktuarium uczestniczyło 834 tys. osób. |
418 | Około 124 tys. wiernych przybyło w 255 pielgrzymkach pieszych. |
419 | Ponad 8,8 tys. osób przyjechało do Częstochowy w pielgrzymkach rowerowych (133 grupy), a 440 osób (16 grup) w pielgrzymkach biegowych. |
420 | Less than 20 people reached the sanctuary on horseback, and over 170 pilgrims from two groups - on roller skates. |
421 | „Wiadomości” TVP pominęły Konfederację przy opisie sondażu |
422 | According to a study by Pollster, PiS would win 45 percent in the Sejm elections. votes, KO 26 percent, Left 14 percent, PSL 7 percent, and the Confederation 5 percent. |
423 | W głównym wydaniu „Wiadomości”, opisując ten sam sondaż, zaprezentowano wyniki tylko czterech pierwszych partii, zupełnie pomijając Konfederację. |
424 | Prowadząca Edyta Lewandowska wyraźnie podkreśliła, że tylko cztery komitety przekroczyły próg wyborczy i weszłyby do Sejmu. |
425 | Widzom TVP pokazano też podział sejmowych mandatów bez uwzględnienia głosów oddanych na Konfederację. |
426 | Dawałoby to PiS samodzielne rządy. |
427 | Krzysztof Bosak w komentarzu do całej tej sytuacji mówił o „publicznej kompromitacji w kwestii uczciwości wobec społeczeństwa”. |
428 | „Zaczynali od haseł o «rewolucji moralnej»”, przypomniał i stwierdził, że ta sprawa jest oznaką poczucia słabości. |
429 | Z kolei Robert Winnicki pisał na Twitterze, że „«Wiadomości TVP» w kolejnych akcjach przeciw Konfederacji zawstydzają Urbana i Michnika”. |
430 | Zwrócił też uwagę na brak reakcji prawicowych dziennikarzy. |
431 | „Ale patrzmy też na tych, którzy przyzwalająco milczą. |
432 | Tych «prawych», «niezależnych», «niepokornych». |

442 | Brat skazany na karę dożywocia za zabójstwo honorowe gwiazdy mediów społecznościowych Qandeel Baloch |
443 | Qandeel Baloch, która stała się gwiazdą dzięki zdjęciom publikowanym w serwisach społecznościowych, została uduszona w lipcu 2016 r. |
444 | Brat pakistańskiej gwiazdy mediów społecznościowych Qandeel Baloch został w piątek uznany winnym jej morderstwa i skazany na karę dożywotniego więzienia za najgłośniejsze w tym patriarchalnym kraju „zabójstwo honorowe”. |
445 | Baloch, która zdobyła sławę, publikując śmiałe selfie – grzeczne według standardów zachodnich, ale w mocno mizoginicznym Pakistanie uważane za prowokujące – została uduszona w lipcu 2016 r. |
446 | Aresztowano jej brata Muhammada Waseema. |
447 | Kilka dni później powiedział on w trakcie konferencji prasowej, że nie ma wyrzutów sumienia za swoje czyny i oświadczył, że „oczywiście” zamordował swoją siostrę i że jej zachowanie było „nieakceptowalne”. |
448 | Jego prawnik Sardar Mehmood przekazał AFP, że sąd w zachodnim mieście Multan uznał jego klienta za winnego i skazał go na dożywocie w długo oczekiwanym wyroku. |
449 | „Inshallah (jeśli Bóg pozwoli), zostanie uniewinniony przez sąd wyższej instancji” – powiedział. |
450 | Wcześniej matka Balocha, Anwar Mai, oznajmiła AFP, że miała nadzieję, że jej syn zostanie uniewinniony. |
451 | „On jest niewinny. |
452 | To była moja córka, a to mój syn” – stwierdziła. |
453 | Morderstwo Baloch trafiło na czołówki światowych serwisów informacyjnych i wznowiło wezwania do działań przeciwko epidemii tzw. zabójstw honorowych, w których ofiary – zazwyczaj kobiety – są zabijane za łamanie patriarchalnych zasad społecznych. |
454 | Kobiety podpalano, duszono, były one rozstrzeliwane lub sztyletowane za takie przewinienia jak wybranie własnego męża lub – jak w przypadku Baloch – za przyniesienie swojej rodzinie „wstydu” poprzez manifestację własnej seksualności. |
455 | Zabójstwa są zazwyczaj dokonywane przez bliskiego krewnego. |
456 | Zgodnie z pakistańskim prawem Qisas (krwawe pieniądze) i Diyat (odwet) mogą oni prosić najbliższych ofiary o wybaczenie. |
457 | Trzy miesiące po morderstwie Baloch parlament przyjął nowe prawodawstwo wprowadzające karę dożywotniego więzienia za zabójstwa honorowe. |
458 | Jednak czy morderstwo zostanie uznane za przestępstwo honorowe pozostaje w gestii sędziego, co oznacza, że mordercy mogą teoretycznie powoływać się na inny motyw i zostać uniewinnieni. |
459 | W przypadku Baloch jej rodzice na początku naciskali, aby ich synowi w żadnym wypadku nie okazywano łaski. |
460 | Jednakże zdruzgotani myślą, że jego również mogą stracić, zmienili zdanie i oświadczyli, że pragną jego uniewinnienia. |
461 | Międzynarodowe oburzenie wywołane przez morderstwo skłoniło państwo pakistańskie do podjęcia bezprecedensowego kroku i ogłoszenia siebie spadkobiercą wraz z rodzicami, wymuszając tym samym posunięcie sprawy do przodu. |
462 | Jednym z bardziej znanych dokonań Baloch jest oferowanie zrobienia striptizu przed pakistańską drużyną krykietu i założenie wydekoltowanej purpurowej sukni w Walentynki. |
463 | Była krytykowana i grożono je, ale wiele osób, w tym młodzi, postrzegali ją jako przełamującą ograniczenia w kraju, w którym pozowanie na postać wzorowaną na Kim Kardashian może być uważane za śmiały i polityczny ruch na rzecz wzmocnienia pozycji kobiet. |
464 | Korzenie „honorowego” zabójstwa leżą w plemiennych normach społecznych, które nadal dominują w Azji Południowej, i w szczególności normują zachowania kobiet, choć mężczyźni też mogą być ofiarami. |

477 | Anarchia podwaja liczbę przesiedlonych z północno-zachodniej Nigerii do 40 tysięcy: UNHCR |
478 | W piątek organizacja ONZ podała, że narastająca przemoc spowodowała w ciągu ostatnich czterech miesięcy podwojenie liczby osób przesiedlonych z północno-zachodniej Nigerii do około 40 tys. ludzi. |
479 | Agencja ds. uchodźców ONZ stwierdziła, że niepokoje stworzyły „nową wyjątkową sytuację humanitarną”, która wymaga podjęcia międzyagencyjnego wysiłku zebrania do końca roku nowych środków w wysokości 35,5 mln dolarów. |
480 | Babar Baloch, rzecznik Wysokiego Komisarza ONZ ds. uchodźców, powiedział, że islamistyczne ugrupowanie Boko Haram, które od dekady prowadzi powstanie na północy kraju, nie odpowiada za ostatnie ataki. |
481 | Wzrost przemocy w nigeryjskich stanach Sokoto, Zamfara i Katsina obserwowany w ciągu ostatnich 10 miesięcy jest raczej wynikiem działań zorganizowanych grup zbrojnych. |
482 | „Maluje to przerażający obraz anarchii i niepewności” – powiedział dziennikarzom w piątek. |
483 | Poinformował o częstych doniesieniach o porwaniach, torturach, wymuszeniach, morderstwach i napaściach na tle seksualnym ze strony napastników, którzy niszczą także domy i kradną dobytek. |
484 | Do walki z gangami przestępców w regionie wysłano wojsko i policję. |
485 | Jednak wojsko odciągane jest od walk z Boko Haram oraz odgałęzieniem Państwa Islamskiego w Afryce Zachodniej, które wyodrębniło się ze swojego dawnego ugrupowania w 2016 r. |
486 | „Uchodźcy nie przybywają z nazwami ugrupowań” – powiedział. |
487 | Przybywają za to z potwornymi opowieściami. |
488 | Uchodźcy w większości przedostają się do sąsiedniego Nigru. |
489 | W swoim oświadczeniu Wysoki Komisarz ONZ ds. uchodźców powiedział, że spodziewa się, iż więcej osób zbiegnie do Nigru w nadchodzących miesiącach wraz z pogarszającą się sytuacją bezpieczeństwa, w szczególności w stanie Sokoto. |
490 | Wyznaczono nową datę rozprawy mężczyzny oskarżonego o zabicie kobiety i 2 dzieci |
491 | Zaplanowano nową datę rozprawy dla pochodzącego z Gwatemali mężczyzny oskarżonego o zabicie mieszkanki stanu Iowa i jej dwójki dzieci. |
492 | Z akt Sądu Rejonowego w hrabstwie Polk wynika, że 31-letniego Marvina Escobar-Orellanę oskarża się o trzy morderstwa pierwszego stopnia pod, jak twierdzą władze, fałszywym nazwiskiem, które pierwotnie podał policji: Marvin Esquivel-Lopez. |
493 | Nie przyznał się do winy. |
494 | Zdaniem policji śmiertelnie postrzelił 29-letnią Flores-Rodriguez, jej 11-letnią córkę i 5-letniego syna w dniu 16 lipca w domu w ich domu w Des Moines. |
495 | Z akt sądowych wynika, że nowa data rozprawy, tj. 27 stycznia, da przedstawicielom obu stron więcej czasu na przygotowania. |
496 | Urzędnicy Służb Imigracyjnych i Celnych USA twierdzą, że Escobar-Orellana przebywa w Stanach Zjednoczonych nielegalnie, a przed strzelaniną był dwukrotnie deportowany. |
497 | W roku 2010 był skazany za nielegalny wjazd do USA. |
498 | „The Sun”: Boris Johnson w obliczu buntu gabinetu chcącego obniżenia żądań ws. brexitu i osiągnięcia kompromisowego porozumienia z Brukselą |
499 | Na zaledwie trzy tygodnie przed ostatecznym szczytem liderów UE wśród najważniejszych osób w państwie w otoczeniu premiera narastają obawy, że na zdobycie ważniejszych ustępstw nie wystarczy mu czasu. |
500 | Boris Johnson staje przed ryzykiem buntu ze strony gabinetu chcącego obniżenia żądań w związku z brexitem i osiągnięcia kompromisowego porozumienia z UE. |
501 | W negocjacjach nastąpił impas w sprawie nowego systemu celnego, który miałby stanowić zastępstwo dla mechanizmu backstopu dla Irlandii, ponieważ Bruksela określiła propozycje innych ustaleń zaoferowanych przez Johnsona jako „niewykonalne”. |
502 | Ministrowie Korony oczekują od unijnych decydentów, na których czele stoi szefowa Niemiec Angela Merkel, aby ci w ostatniej chwili zaoferowali krytykowanemu liderowi torysów kompromis w postaci trzyletniego limitu czasu na realizację mechanizmu backstopu. |
503 | Dziennikarze „The Sun” rozmawiali z trzema różnymi ministrami gabinetu, z których wszyscy przygotowują się do konfrontacji z premierem po dorocznej konferencji torysów w przyszłym tygodniu w Manchesterze. |
504 | Będą domagali się od premiera zarzucenia „agresywnej” strategii opracowanej przez jego bliskiego doradcę Dominika Cummingsa polegającej na próbach stosowania blefu wobec UE i grożenia opuszczenia Unii bez umowy, a następnie zaakceptowania przez niego oferty złożonej w ostatniej chwili przez Unię. |
505 | Jeden z ministrów gabinetu określił druzgoczący werdykt Sądu Najwyższego orzekający we wtorek o zakończeniu zawieszenia parlamentu jako „sygnał ostrzegawczy” i dodał: „Jedynym sposobem na opuszczenie przez nas Unii Europejskiej 31 października jest zrobienie tego na podstawie umowy. |
506 | Nigdy nie pokonamy arytmetyki w Izbie Gmin, która działa na naszą niekorzyść. |
507 | Premier musi się teraz ugiąć i przyjąć to, co jest w stanie otrzymać. |
508 | Agresywność nie popłaca: jest oczywiste, że plan Cummingsa spalił na panewce. |
509 | Nie możemy toczyć bitew na tak wielu frontach. |
510 | Drugi minister gabinetu zobowiązał się przekazać Johnsonowi, aby spróbował przepchnąć porozumienie byłej premier Theresy May, jeśli nie powiedzie się wszystko inne. |
511 | Minister ten powiedział: „Jeśli będę musiał, powiem premierowi, aby ponownie przedstawił w Izbie Gmin umowę proponowaną przez Theresę May.” |
512 | Liczebnie są szanse na jej przegłosowanie, a wszystkim bardzo zależy na zakończenie tego tematu. |
513 | Jeśli zostaniemy zmuszeni do przedłużenia terminu, to koniec Borisa Johnsona i koniec nas wszystkich. |
514 | John Major zarzucił Borisowi Johnsonowi, że nie traktuje negocjacji poważnie. |
515 | W kąśliwej przemowie były pierwszy minister z ramienia torysów powiedział: „Premier mówi nam, że chce umowy z Unią Europejską. |
516 | Jednak nie widzimy, aby siedział w Brukseli i nad nią pracował. |
517 | Zamiast tego siłuje się z bykami w Szkocji, sprawdza jaja w Walii i kłóci się z obywatelami na głównych ulicach miast – wszystko na oczach świata, jak gdyby na dobre trwała już kampania wyborcza.” |
518 | Rzecznik obecnego premiera przyznał wczoraj, że umowa jest wciąż odległa, i dodał: „Nikt nie powinien mieć złudzeń: do zapewnienia porozumienia bardzo długa droga.” |
519 | Jednak rzecznik powiedział także, że ustawa Benna wprowadzająca w życie odłożenie brexitu o trzy miesiące w przypadku braku osiągnięcia porozumienia „aktywnie osłabia naszą pozycję negocjacyjną” w Brukseli. |
520 | Powiedział: „Nie ma wątpliwości, że ustawa ta utrudnia nam negocjacje, jednak pomimo niej premier wraz ze współpracownikami dzięki ciężkiej pracy nadal próbuje osiągać postęp.” |
521 | Sekretarz ds. brexitu Stephen Barclay wraca dziś do Brukseli, gdzie odbędzie więcej rozmów z Michelem Barnierem po stronie UE. |
522 | Będą omawiali księgę dotyczącą sposobu funkcjonowania strefy dla całej Irlandii dla żywności i żywca. |
523 | Pies bez nosa i nogi podbija Instagrama. |
524 | Perfekcyjnie nieperfekcyjna |
525 | Kundelek miał zostać uśpiony. |
526 | Jednak udało się temu zapobiec. |
527 | Suczka została przewieziona z Rumunii do Wielkiej Brytanii przez Beacon Animal Rescue Centre. |
528 | Zdjęcie pieska zostało opublikowane na Facebooku. |
529 | Kate Comfort zakochała się w zwierzaku od pierwszego wejrzenia. |
530 | „Początkowo miałam trudności z przekonaniem męża do adopcji, ponieważ mieliśmy już trzy psy”, powiedziała. |
531 | Kobieta podjęła decyzję, że będzie opiekowała się suczką do momentu, w którym ktoś jej nie adoptuje. |
532 | Jednak wciąż nikt się nie zgłaszał. |
533 | „Fakt, że nikt jej nie chciał, sprawił, że coraz bardziej chciałam się nią zajmować. |
534 | Była wrażliwa i potrzebowała miłości”, przekazała Kate. |
535 | W końcu małżeństwo zdecydowało się adoptować Bonnie. |
536 | „Nasza Bonnie jest perfekcyjnie nieperfekcyjna. |
537 | Kochamy ją taką jaka jest, a jeżeli komukolwiek nie podoba się, w jaki sposób wygląda, to jest jego problem, nie nasz”, powiedziała kobieta. |
538 | Bonnie z biegiem czasu stała się gwiazdą mediów społecznościowych. |
539 | Na Instagramie obserwuje ją ponad 14 tys. internautów. |
540 | Lorraine Kelly: Mówiono, że z akcentem glasgowskim nigdy nie zrobię kariery w telewizji |
541 | Według Lorraine Kelly szefowie telewizji powiedzieli, że ze względu na akcent z Glasgow „nigdy nie zrobi kariery” jako prezenterka. |
542 | Wspominająca swoją 35-letnią karierę w branży telewizyjnej Kelly, lat 59, przyznała, że przed pierwszym występem na ekranie odczuwała „duże zdenerwowanie”. |
543 | „Miałam zaledwie 25 lat i bardzo się denerwowałam” – powiedziała. |
544 | Kiedy pracowałam w BBC Scotland w roli specjalistki ds. wyszukiwania i sprawdzania informacji, szef szefów powiedział, że przez mój akcent z Glasgow nigdy nie odniosę sukcesu w telewizji. |
545 | Pojechałam do Londynu, by poznać cały zespół TV-am i obejrzeć emisję programu, zanim przejęłam obowiązki w biurze w Glasgow. |
546 | Nigdy nie zapomnę wywiadu z gwiazdą Bette Davis przeprowadzanego przez Anne Diamond i Mike’a Morrisa tamtego ranka. |
547 | Nie wierzyłam, że jestem w tym samym pomieszczeniu z żywą legendą. |
548 | Wiedziałam, że to tu chcę pozostać. |
549 | Zanim Kelly została szkocką korespondentką TV-am w 1984 r., rozpoczynała swoją karierę jako reporterka lokalnej gazety w East Kibride w Szkocji. |
550 | Następnie zaczęła prowadzić takie programy jak „GMTV”, „ITV Breakfast” i „Daybreak”, by później wystartować ze swoim programem porannym „Lorraine”, który nazwę wziął od jej imienia. |
551 | 35. rocznicę swojej kariery uczci specjalnym programem, podczas którego będzie wspominała swoje najlepiej zapamiętane momenty i wywiady. |
552 | Prezenterka powiedziała, że sekretem jej długiego stażu w telewizji jest „pasja i entuzjazm” i „ciekawość”, dodając: „Trzeba ciężko pracować. |
553 | Być uczciwą i autentyczną. |
554 | Przygotowywać się do programów oraz być zarówno zainteresowaną, jak i interesującą. |
555 | Kiedy wspomina doniesienia medialne, które poruszyły jej emocje, Kelly wyjawia, że „bardzo trudne” dla niej było relacjonowanie zamachu w Dunblane. |
556 | Nie miałam pojęcia, że wiele rodzin zabitych lub rannych dzieci ogląda nasz program na żywo z Dunblane dzień po strasznym zabójstwie szesnaściorga dzieci i ich nauczycielki. |
557 | Jedna z matek, Pam Ross, której 5-letnia córka Joanna została zamordowana, poprosiła mnie o prywatne spotkanie, podczas którego przez wiele godzin rozmawiałyśmy w jej domu. |
558 | Całe spotkanie odbyło się po cichu, a Pam Ross i ja przyjaźnimy się od chwili pogrzebu Joanny, w którym brałam udział. |
559 | Dodała, że „niezwykle trudny” był wywiad z Kate i Gerrym McCannami krótko po zniknięciu ich córki Madeleine w 2007 r. i że „naprawdę podziwia ich siłę i odwagę”. |
560 | Muszą radzić sobie z bólem, ponieważ nie wiedzą, co stało się z ich ukochaną córką, a na dodatek znosić najokropniejsze komentarze internetowych trolli. |
561 | Jestem przy nich całym sercem. |
562 | Program z okazji 35. rocznicy pracy Lorraine Kelly w telewizji rozpocznie się o godz. 8:30 w poniedziałek, 30 września w stacji ITV. |
563 | Zimbabwe: Chiwenga obawiał się uwięzienia |
564 | 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. |
565 | As reported last week by The Zimbabwe Independent, Mugabe offered Vice President Chiwenga to assume the presidency during his coup negotiations with the military. |
566 | 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. |
567 | 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. |
568 | Government officials claimed that Mugabe had contacted Chiwenga through one of his envoys when he realized that power was slipping out of his hands. |
569 | Mediation between the military authorities and the deceased former president had three stages, according to a senior government official. |
570 | 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. |
571 | 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). |
572 | 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 by trying to get other African leaders to intervene. |
573 | The president's offer, made by the late (Mugabe) to the then Chief of Defense Forces (SSO) Chiwenga, was not a choice. |
574 | But there was also some political temptation by which the deceased sought to turn things around in a completely non-diplomatic way. |
575 | 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. |
576 | 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. |
577 | 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. |
578 | It was in this spirit and with such calculation that this offer was made. |
579 | Officials claimed that Mugabe made the move when he realized that the defense forces were no longer ready to protect him. |
580 | They said Mugabe was forced to sign a letter of resignation after warning the strongman that he was risking a Gaddafi-style lynching. |
581 | The military chiefs told him that they would not turn their rifles against the citizens if they went to his Blue Roof residence. |
582 | And at the same time, Mugabe had two desires, which is to save his family and prove that the military took over, ”the official added. |
583 | The then SSO and commanders read the assumptions correctly. |
584 | 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, and we do not compete with each other on the political level, argued a senior official state. |
585 | 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. |
586 | In addition to negotiating with the army, Mugabe also sought help in the region. |
587 | 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. |
588 | China needs strong, unified leadership from the Communist Party or the country will “fall apart,” the government said in a policy paper released on Friday on the eve of the 70th anniversary of the People's Republic of China. |
589 | 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. |
590 | Chiny zajmują wielki obszar, mają złożone warunki krajowe, natomiast rzadko widuje się tu trudności administracji. |
591 | 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. |
592 | 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. |
593 | Strongly ruling President Xi Jinping, who will lead the anniversary celebrations of the world's second-largest economy on Tuesday, has tightened party rule even further since taking office in late 2012 and has imposed sanctions against those who may challenge power. |
594 | Xi also oversees a military modernization program that has upset the region. |
595 | W dokumencie stwierdzono, że Chiny nie starają się wyeksportować swojego modelu rozwoju ani nie chcą zaimportować żadnych modeli zagranicznych, dążąc jedynie do pokoju, a nie do „hegemonii”. |
596 | The Chinese do not have the conquest of other nations or world domination in their genes. |
597 | In modern times, China has been oppressed by great powers and has been deeply affected by wars and unrest through the suffering it has suffered; China will never cause others the suffering it has suffered. |
598 | China is celebrating this anniversary in uncertain times for a country caught up in a bitter trade war with the United States and facing challenges due to a slowing economy as well as anti-government protests in Chinese-controlled Hong Kong. |
599 | 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. |
600 | China is sure that it is able to face difficulties, turn crisis into new opportunities and open a new world. |
601 | It also added that the United States should take a rational view of China's development as China does not intend to challenge the United States' position, nor does it want to replace the United States. |
602 | The United States cannot control China, and it is even less likely to stop China's development. |
603 | Restricting and weakening other countries, and passing domestic misunderstandings across borders will not give the United States a strong position. |
604 | Jacek Pałkiewicz's world: Dubai, true face |
605 | The Dubai emirate is a place that is constantly looking for its own identity, torn between Bedouin tradition, religious Islamic radicalism and progressive extremism. |
606 | 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. |
607 | Websites infect with enthusiasm for this dream city, an exciting temple of luxury and a concentrated concentration of 21st century architecture in one. |
608 | 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. |
609 | Many are delighted with the omnipresent splendor here, appreciate creative hyperactivity and hysterical pursuit of avant-garde. |
610 | And at almost every step. |
611 | But there are also those who can look at Dubai critically, calling it a city without character. |
612 | Because here everything has to be bigger and prettier than anywhere else in the world. |
613 | 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. |
614 | In Wrocław, Berlin or Madrid, everyone feels at home. |
615 | And in Dubai, certainly not. |
616 | Fleeing from the world of magic, I ripped off its golden mask, revealing the other face of artificial paradise. |
617 | A face that is not spoken about and written about. |
618 | I show the poverty of Asians contrasting with the fairy-tale living conditions of the divine caste of ethnic Dubaiians, grandsons of illiterate Bedouins. |
619 | 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. |
620 | They were the ones who built the sky-high desert Manhattan in one generation in slave conditions. |
621 | They came here, deluded by good wages and the possibility of ensuring a decent life for their families, and found a nightmare. |
622 | The tourist will never see it, because it could blow up the myth of Dubai created over the years. |
623 | Increasingly frequent criticism of the international community makes the topic of cheap labor highly embarrassing for the Emir. |
624 | Spice Girls' Mel C has banned talking about diets in her home after her struggle with an eating disorder |
625 | 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. |
626 | “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. |
627 | The use of positive language has now become my habit. |
628 | “I started to view myself inadequately, giving up certain food groups, exercising more and more obsessively until I became underweight,” she says. |
629 | I was sick and it probably lasted for several years. |
630 | A photo that shook the world |
631 | The Polish girl and the American documentary filmmaker gave the world a testimony of the cruelty of war. |
632 | The legendary photo of Julien Bryan can be seen at the Museum of the Second World War in Gdańsk |
633 | “Hear my story. |
634 | I speak from the besieged city of Warsaw. |
635 | I can and must speak on behalf of the Polish nation about what happened here. |
636 | America must act, must help! ”, Documentary photographer Julien Bryan began his radio speech. |
637 | 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. |
638 | His account echoed widely in the West. |
639 | The Mayor of Warsaw, Stefan Starzyński, first helped him, borrowed a car, but then asked him to leave immediately for his own safety. |
640 | Bryan wrote a farewell letter to his family in the US, deposited it in an embassy safe, and ... stayed. |
641 | Przez kolejne cztery tygodnie starał się być wszędzie tam, gdzie warszawiacy. |
642 | 400 planes and artillery attacked the city almost non-stop. |
643 | Bryan photographed death, suffering, and the struggle to survive in the ruins of the city. |
644 | Just before the capitulation, he and the embassy employees took the negatives across the ocean. |
645 | He did not stop talking about Hitler's crimes. |
646 | His shocking chronicles were viewed by President Eleanor Roosevelt. |
647 | Soon the US began to prepare for war. |
648 | “Dad showed the truth and thus fought against German propaganda. |
649 | They made films that glorified their chivalry. |
650 | They said they didn't attack women and children and people believed them, ”says Sam Bryan, Julien's son. |
651 | A jury trial against a former athlete accused of multiple rapes |
652 | A jury trial is pending against a former University of Delaware baseball player who has been charged with multiple sexual assaults. |
653 | On Friday, after 10 days of giving evidence and listening to arguments, members of the jury began to decide the fate of 23-year-old Clay Conaway. |
654 | A woman who turns 21 claims that Conaway raped her when she went to his home in June 2018. |
655 | 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. |
656 | The woman is one of six accusing Conaway of sexual assault in 2013-2018. |
657 | According to the prosecutors, a hug that the woman agreed to turned into rape, which was met with opposition. |
658 | Defenders cite the woman's conflicting accounts and gaps in memory, and claim that the woman probably regretted having an intimate relationship. |
659 | Gold on two wheels: Polish bike for a million zlotys |
660 | A gold-plated bicycle worth one million zlotys was on display at the 10th jubilee edition of the Kielce BIKE-EXPO International Bicycle Fair. |
661 | This is an unusual vehicle printed on a 3D printer. |
662 | Its constructor, 30-year-old Adam Zdanowicz has just received a bicycle Oscar for him at the World Custom Bicycle Exhibition in Las Vegas. |
663 | The unusual copy made a sensation at the fair. - The bike is covered with gold spray chrome, underneath it is the highest quality silver. |
664 | This is an unusual coating made by my friend from Żory. |
665 | “There is a saddle, there are pedals, there is a steering wheel, you could ride it normally. |
666 | It can develop speeds of 50 kilometers per hour. |
667 | It's an electric bike, ”explains its designer. |
668 | The footage shows heavy pollution of popular tourist spots |
669 | 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 annually pumped into the Australian economy by tourists visiting Sydney. |
670 | However, there is an ugly truth under the bridge. |
671 | Znana zatoka Sydney jest jedną z najbardziej skażonych dróg wodnych w kraju, do której co roku wpływa objętość zanieczyszczeń równa pojemności około 15 basenów olimpijskich. |
672 | Te przerażające statystyki sprawiają, że jeden z naszych największych turystycznych atutów jest jednocześnie jednym z naszych najbrudniejszych akwenów. |
673 | However, the biggest component choking our shipping channels is plastic. |
674 | The reservoir looks beautiful, but it is one of the most altered and contaminated estuaries along our coast. |
675 | 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. |
676 | Two-thirds of the pollution comes from rainwater. |
677 | 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. |
678 | I think if more people knew (what is under the water) they would be just terrified. |
679 | It's overwhelming ... more than half of what we find at the bottom is plastic nets. |
680 | The remaining 50% are things that are at least made of plastic. |
681 | When you look out over the bay, it looks beautiful, and people can't believe that all that plastic and all that rubbish we're digging out right under the surface. |
682 | 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. |
683 | 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. |
684 | Jeżeli zniszczymy ocean, czeka nas zagłada, ponieważ 50% wdychanego przez nas tlenu pochodzi z oceanu. |
685 | It absorbs 30% of carbon dioxide and is our food source. |
686 | However, we can tidy up this bay and restore it to its former glory, and it's very simple. |
687 | If we kill our oceans, we will kill ourselves. |
688 | 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. |
