1Bosnians protest Croatian plans for nuclear waste facility
2Hundreds of people rallied Friday in northwest Bosnia against plans by neighboring Croatia to store part of the waste from the region's only nuclear plant near its border with Bosnia and a main river known for its natural beauty.
3The protesters in the Bosnian town of Novi Grad urged Croatia to abandon plans for a storage site at a former army barracks in Trgovska Gora and pledged to fight the project.
4The facility would hold waste from the Krsko nuclear plant.
5We have to say NO!
6Miroslav Drljaca, the head of Novi Grad municipality told the crowd.
7We must fight to preserve our way of life and our Una.
8Officials from the two countries are set to meet next week to discuss additional waste storage facilities.
9Croatia's state HRT television reported Friday that Croatia was yet to decide whether it would build storage of its own or pay to store its share of waste at a new facility Slovenia is building.
10Croatian Minister of Environment Protection and Energy Tomislav Coric told the broadcaster that Croatia also has a problem disposing of institutional waste from schools, hospitals and prisons, and was hoping to find an overall solution.
11In Bosnia, activists, officials and residents from all sides of the country's ethnic divide insisted that Croatia find another location in a part of the country nearer to the nuclear.
12We must not let them humiliate us!

33American Congress agreed to sell 32 F-35 jets to Poland
34Within 15 days from the Department of State approving the possible purchase of 32 multi-task F-35 jets by Poland, the U.S. Congress did not raise any objection to the transaction, which means that the last condition was met before commencing sales negotiations.
35The Congress' decision, although not unexpected, carries large political significance.
36The expert explained that, pursuant to the Arms Export Control Act of 1976, the federal government, represented by the Department of State, is obliged to inform the Congress of each planned sales of arms abroad 15 days before concluding a sales contract, if the value of such transaction, in case of selling arms to a NATO member, exceeds $50 million.
37The value of the proposed purchase of 32 F-35 jets by Poland is estimated at $6.5 billion. This amount will include costs of technical and logistic aid, auxiliary equipment and pilot training.
38Should the transaction be finalized, the main supplier of the F-35 jets will be the American arms company Lockheed Martin, with Pratt and Whitney, manufacturer of F-35A jet engines, as its subcontractor.
39The offer to purchase 5th generation American F-35 jets on behalf of Poland was submitted by Minister of Defence Mariusz Błaszak.
40The Polish offer was discussed in June of this year, during a meeting held at the White House between President Andrzej Duda and President Donald Trump.
41If finalized, the execution of the contract will be supervised by representatives of the Pentagon as part of the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program.
42Under the FMS program, Poland has already purchased the Patriot anti-ballistic missile system, among others.
43The price of one F-35 jet at the moment when Poland submitted its purchase offer equalled, without arming and technical help, ca. $89.2 million.
44Polish Press Agency interlocutors expressed their hopes that the negotiations regarding the purchase of American fighter aircraft by Poland will be completed this year.
45Possible participation of Polish subcontractors in this deal, i.e. offset, will be discussed directly with American manufacturers of F-35 jets.
46What is Munchhausen's by proxy mentioned in The Politician on Netflix?
47The condition means carers or parents pretend their child is ill when they are healthy.
48The Politican hits Netflix today.
49The show tells the story of Payton Hobart who wants to be President of the United States of America - but first, he has to be student body president at his high school.
50Made by American Horror Story and Glee creator Ryan Murphy, it features Gwyneth Paltrow, Ben Platt and Lucy Boynton.
51Without revealing too much for those who haven't had a chance to watch it yet, the show includes a storyline about Munchhausen's by proxy - a mental illness where a carer acts as if the person they are looking after has a physical or mental illness when they are not really sick.
52There are different types of the condition, including Munchhausen's where a person pretends that they themselves are ill.
53Munchhausen's By Proxy, however, is specifically about making up that someone that you care for is ill.
54It is also known as fabricated or induced illness (FII) and is categorised as child abuse.
55It is a rare condition and usually involves a parent exaggerating symptoms or causing symptoms to make it seem like their child is ill.
56What are the signs of Munchhausen's by proxy?
57The signs of the condition can vary from case to case but the NHS says that things to be aware of include:
58Persuading medical professionals that their child is unwell but they seem healthy.
59Exaggerating or lying about symptoms.
60Manipulating results to suggest the child is ill, for example putting glucose in urine samples to make it look like they have diabetes.
61Inducing symptoms of illness, for example giving them unnecessary medication or other substances.
62How common is Munchhausen's by proxy?
63As many cases aren't reported, it's difficult to know how widespread the condition is.
64One study published in 2000 estimated 89 cases in a population of 100,000 over a two year period.
65What should you do if you think a child is at risk
66You can contact your local social services department or telephone the NSPCC's child protection helpline on 0808 800 5000.
67Nigeria: Police Raid Kaduna School, Evacuate 300 Children
68Kaduna - The Kaduna State Police Command yesterday raided a school, Imamu Ahmad Bn Hambal, located at Layin Maidubun Tsumma at Rigasa in Igabi Local Government Area of the state, arrested seven teachers and evacuated about 300 children.
69The police alleged that the children were kept in a very dehumanising condition; an allegation the school authority denied.
70The parents signed a form before the children were enrolled in the school.
71The parents used to bring food to their children daily and they also know the condition they are in.
72We were very surprised when the police came and evacuated the children as well as removed all the students' food brought by their parents before they shut down the school.
73This is unfair because we have parents to testify if their children are kept in bad conduction as claimed by the police.
74He added that the immediate past Police Commissioner Abdurrahman, who once visited the school to see how the children were taken care, never complained.
75He said the children only studied Quran and nothing else.
76But the Police Command Public Relations Officer, Yakubu Sabo, said the children would be reunited with their parents after handing them over to the state government.
77Foreign talent important to China's development
78Guangdong has been leading the country in terms of attracting foreign talent, due in a large part to the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA), and Shenzhen's new role as a pilot demonstration area.
79Nanfang Media Group has interviewed seven expatriates aged from 10-70 in Guangdong.
80Born in 2010 during the Asian Games in Guangzhou, Yash from Singapore said he would like to realize his dream of becoming a scientific doctor in Guangzhou.
81We can make new ideas and businesses together.
82Rachel Rommeswinkel from the US started her career as a beauty blogger in Dongguan and has over one million fans on Bilibili and Weibo.
83She said she will keep sharing Chinese traditions, culture and technology through her videos.
84If the first button is fastened incorrectly, the rest will never find their rightful place.
85Chinese-American Henry Xiao believes that at the heart of GBA, his company can enjoy multiple benefits in terms of new policies, government policies and capitals, especially the talent.
86Nanta Show producer Sean Choi from South Korea said Guangdong cuisine is famous all over the world, and it has been good to introduce the Nanta Show to Guangdong.
87Stephan Mohler from Switzerland, the technical quality director at the Pearl River Pianos, thinks the secret of high quality lies in simple work done well.
88To his surprise, many talented young people in China enjoy working, learn to make good products and persist in their drive to be better.
89Poll: Poles want Banaś to resign
90The majority of Poles want Marian Banaś, head of the Supreme Audit Office, to resign, according to the Kantar poll taken for TVN.
91The material indicates that the head of Supreme Audit Office owned a tenement house in Kraków in which a hotel by the hour was run by gangsters who rented it for their business at a below-market price.
92After the material was broadcast, Banaś announced that on September 27 he would go on unpaid leave until the time his asset declaration was inspected by the Central Anti-Corruption Bureau.
93The Kantar telephone poll was conducted on September 2526, 2019 on a nationwide representative sample of 1,005 people over 18 years of age.
94The possible statistical error is 3 percentage points.

118Siemoniak: Tusk or Kidawa-Blonska will be next president
119I think that Donald Tusk and Malgorzata Kidawa-Blonska stand a chance to win the presidential election against President Andrzej Duda, says Tomasz Siemioniak.
120Deputy leader of Civic Platform was interviewed by Polsat News about the affair including the head of the Supreme Audit Office.
121This matter makes Marian Banas stand on the losing side.
122He may become culture minister to deal with some kind of entertainment, but not the Head of the Supreme Audit Office or finance minister.
123He shouldn't be the one in charge of billions and taxes, he said.
124This is a very severe state crisis, he added.
125Siemioniak also elaborated about Klaudia Jachira's run for election.
126Law and Justice has Antoni Macierewicz on its election lists.
127This is a person who not only said some things, but also did them.
128He accused former Military Counter-intelligence Service bosses of espionage on behalf of Russia, he destroyed their life and their families.
129Why nobody insists that Antoni Macierewicz is out of election, he asked.
130Those younger than us have a different sense of taste.
131I think that Jachira who already apologized for one of the things feels that she may exaggerate sometimes.
132For me, it is not an election campaign problem, he added.
133Tourists Return to Poland as Scheduled Following the Bankruptcy of Neckermann Poland Travel Agency
134According to the office, it has not been necessary to bring the tourists to Poland prematurely so far.
135On 25 September Neckermann Poland Travel Agency filed a statement of insolvency in the Marshall Office.
136At the time when the Agency submitted the statement of insolvency, there were 3,600 tourists abroad.
137On Wednesday, the group of ca. 500 people came back to Poland, and on Thursday a group of 230.
138On Friday, subsequent 350 people are to come back from Morocco, Spain and Greece.
139The tourists will land in Katowice and Warsaw (there will be five chartered flights altogether).
140Some of them will come by commercial flights.
141It is planned ca. 1,000 tourists staying on holiday e.g. in Turkey, Egypt, Spain, Greece and Italy should come back home on the weekend.
142According to the Marshall Office of the Voivodeship of Mazovia, the Travel Agency sold ca. 20 thousand trips for autumn and winter.
143Last Friday the authorities of the largest and also the oldest travel agency Thomas Cook informed it was on the verge of bankruptcy.
144Thomas Cook GmbH was the owner of 100 percent of shares in Neckermann Poland.
145'Hideous' Central Coast camouflage child rapist ordered to look at victim in court
146Dressed in a leafy Ghillie camouflage suit, the man grabbed the then 12-year-old from behind and dragged her into bushland as she made her way to school on the state's Central Coast in May 2017.
147He then tied her to a tree and sexually assaulted her.
148Shortly after the arrest, a search warrant was executed at a home where officers seized a number of items relevant to the investigation.
149The man pleaded guilty to seven charges involving the attack and a further three charges over the grooming and sexual abuse of another girl, aged 11, between August 2016 and April 2017.
150The 12-year-old victim had been walking along a track when she looked back and saw him suddenly emerge from the bushes armed with a large tree branch and a knife.
151Holding the knife in his right hand, he tied her hands and feet with cable ties before lashing her to the tree and abusing her for almost an hour.
152After he cut her loose, the girl ran crying hysterically to school.
153The man arrived at work about 9.30am after failing to reply to several text messages and phone calls from colleagues.
154With dirt, grass and tree matter on his clothes, he claimed to have been involved in a road rage incident where he had chased another driver into the bush and fallen down an embankment.
155The man's sentencing hearing continues on Tuesday.
156Pope warns tech execs to use AI for the common good
157Pope Francis on Friday warned tech company executives, diplomats and financiers that the race to create artificial intelligence and other forms of digital development pose the risk of increasing social inequality unless the work is accompanied by an ethical evaluation of the common good.
158Francis addressed a Vatican conference that brought government envoys and Facebook and Google representatives together with philosophers, physicists and ethicists.
159The three-day gathering is the latest evidence of the Vatican wanting a place in the debate over the prospects and perils of artificial intelligence.
160The debates included technology advancements in warfare and the future of work with increasing reliance on machines, as well as a case study examining the Christchurch, New Zealand, massacre and decisions taken by social media companies after video spread of the carnage.
161In his speech to the conference, Francis praised the potential of technological progress, noting that machines at the dawn of the industrial revolution spared workers dangerous and monotonous labor.
162But he warned that increased reliance on robotics for the sake of profits risked depriving people of the dignity of labor.
163If mankind's so-called technological progress were to become an enemy of the common good, this would lead to an unfortunate regression to a form of barbarism dictated by the law of the strongest.
164Organizers of the conference said they hoped to tap into participants' expertise identify possible future advisers for the Catholic Church on high tech issues.
165Martin Odegaard, Real Madrid Loanee, Sends Fans Wild With Mind-Boggling Assist.
166Martin Odegaard provided a jaw-dropping assist for Mikel Oyarzabal's opener.
167Real Madrid went top of the La Liga table following their 2-0 win over Osasuna as they continued their unbeaten run in this year's domestic season.
168However, despite not losing a single game in La Liga this season, manager Zinedine Zidane is under tremendous pressure following a tumultuous pre-season and a public rift with Welsh star Gareth Bale.
169The pressure seemed to reach the boiling point when Real Madrid were humiliated by Paris-Saint Germain (PSG) in the Champions League.
170But Zinedine Zidane and Real Madrid have some real talent on their books, some who are currently in the Frenchman's plans and those that aren't.
171Vinícius Junior is one such star for the future for Real Madrid and is currently with the team.
172However, another Norwegian youngster Martin Odegaard, who has been loaned out to Real Sociedad, is creating a flutter after providing a mind-boggling assist during a La Liga match.
173Playing for Real Sociedad vs Alaves, Martin Odegaard provided a jaw-dropping assist for Mikel Oyarzabal's opener as Real Sociedad ran out 3-0 winners at home.
174After picking the ball up on the right, Martin Odegaard drifted away from one opponent by nutmegging him and then threaded a stunning pass inside two more for his teammate to get at the of the inch-perfect through-ball and poke home.
175Willian Jose's second and a third from the impressive Oyarzabal, this time from the penalty spot, secured a convincing win for Imanol's side, before Alaves midfielder Manu Garcia was sent off with five minutes to play.
176Martin Odegaard joined Real Madrid aged just 16 in 2015 but has struggled to live up to the hype.
177Now 20, the Norwegian youngster finally appears to be finding his feet.
178Anna Hazare Surprised Sharad Pawar's Name Figures In Maharashtra State Co-operative Bank Scam Case
179Social activist Anna Hazare has expressed surprise over Nationalist Congress Party or NCP chief Sharad Pawar's name cropping up in the multi-crore Maharashtra State Co-operative Bank scam.
180Probe agency Enforcement Directorate or ED has filed a money laundering case against Sharad Pawar, his nephew Ajit Pawar - a former deputy chief minister of Maharashtra - and others in connection with the scam.
181An Enforcement Case Information Report, equivalent to a police FIR, has been registered by the central agency under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
182The case is based on a Mumbai Police FIR which had named former chairmen of the bank, Ajit Pawar, and 70 erstwhile functionaries of the cooperative lender.
183When this case came to me, Sharad Pawar's name was not there anywhere.
184Anna Hazare, a Sharad Pawar critic, expressed the hope that the truth will come out after the ED carries out a detailed investigation in the scam.
185Sharad Pawar has denied any wrongdoing and claimed he was not associated with the bank in any capacity and questioned the timing of the registration of the case which comes just weeks ahead of the October 21 Assembly polls in Maharashtra.
186The NCP has termed the Enforcement Directorate case as politically motivated.
187A busy day for Polish Border Guards.
188Yesterday, several smugglers failed to take stolen goods, whose value exceeded PLN 130 thousand, to Ukraine.
189All events were reported yesterday (26 September) on route from Poland.
190In Korczowa, a Romanian citizen was carrying a Specialized e-bike.
191The Polish Border Guards officers, determining the item's legality of origin, contacted representatives of German Police and quickly established that this modern single-track vehicle, worth about PLN 10 thousand, was stolen from their territory.
192A few hours later, also in Korczowa, the Border Guards, while checking a semi-trailer registered in France, found that the VIN number was altered.
193The driver of the combination truck was a citizen of Ukraine.
194The semi-trailer, worth about PLN 30 thousand, was confiscated and will be submitted to detailed expertise in order to establish its original data.
195At the crossing point in Medyka, Border Guard officers thwarted an attempt to take another stolen Can-am quad bike (year of manufacture: 2019).
196The value of the vehicle, transported on a car hauler, is estimated at PLN 75 thousand.
197The driver of the combination truck was a 32-year-old citizen of Ukraine.
198The Border Guards confirmed that just two weeks ago a quad bike was reported missing in Poland and was sought-after all over Europe.
199A 41-year-old Ukrainian bus traveller was transporting car body elements coming from an exclusive Mercedes.
200All car identification numbers had been mechanically removed.
201The car body elements, worth about PLN 15 thousand, were confiscated.
202South Africa: Man, 20, Charged With Murder of Ukzn Student Sinethemba Ndlovu
203A man who was arrested in connection with the murder of University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN) student Sinethemba Ndlovu is expected to apply for bail next week, according to the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA).
204The accused appeared in the Msinga Magistrate's Court on Thursday on a charge of murder.
205KZN NPA spokesperson Natasha Kara told News24 that the case was postponed to October 2 for the bail application.
206She added that the State would oppose the accused's release on bail.
207According to KZN police spokesperson Colonel Thembeka Mbele, the 20-year-old accused was arrested on Monday.
208Ndlovu was stabbed below her left armpit and stomach, police said earlier this week.
209It's believed that she worked as a hostess at the Msinga Driftkhana motorsport event on Saturday evening.
210In a statement issued that day, organisers of the motorsport event said preliminary reports suggested that a few hostesses remained behind after the event to watch some of the musical performances after their shift ended.
211Mylan agrees to pay $30M in EpiPen settlement
212Mylan has agreed to pay $30 million in a settlement tied to its failure to tell investors about a Justice Department investigation into whether the company overcharged Medicaid for the EpiPen.
213Mylan had disclosed in July that it had reached an agreement-in-principle with the SEC on the matter.
214The company said in a statement Friday that it neither admits nor denies the SEC's allegations.
215Is it divine retribution?
216What does the Church say about suffering?
217Cataclysms, serious illness, death of a child.
218These are tragedies that cause a great deal of suffering and are hard to understand.
219Is it the Creator who sends us all woes and diseases?
220John Paul II suffered greatly at the end of his life.
221When Nick Vujicic was coming into the world 36 years ago, his dad ran out of the labour room in fear.
222The parents didn't know that their child suffered from an incurable illness that made him limbless.
223Initially, they couldn't accept the boy.
224But they prayed and after four months, Nick's mom felt that God had a plan for their child.
225She decided to love her son with all her heart.
226Now, Vujicic is a world-renowned evangelist and motivational speaker, thanks to whom many people have converted.
227When we are gripped by suffering, it is hard to understand it. We look for reasons. We ask: «Why has it happened to us?» If we believe that God reigns over the whole world and is in control of our lives, it is natural that we ask whether He sent us illness, misfortune...
228Mother pleads guilty to murdering two teenage sons
229A woman broke down in tears as she was told she could spend the rest of her life in prison after admitting murdering her two teenage sons while conspiring to kill four more of her children.
230Sarah Barrass, 35, pleaded guilty to the murder of Tristan Barrass, 13, and Blake Barrass, 14.
231The brothers died in hospital 12 minutes apart after police were called to the Shiregreen area of Sheffield, South Yorkshire, at about 7.30am on 24 May.
232Postmortems have been carried out but the results were not given during a hearing on Friday at Sheffield crown court.
233The exact circumstances surrounding the boys' deaths are not yet known.
234Barrass appeared in the dock alongside her co-defendant, Brandon Machin, 39, a family member.
235Flanked by three security officers, they pleaded guilty to two counts of murder and one count of conspiracy to murder six children.
236The pair also pleaded guilty to five counts of attempted murder during the 20-minute hearing.
237The conspiracy to murder charges relate to a period between 14 and 20 May.
238Four of the attempted murder charges relate to four children, including Blake and Tristan on 23 May.
239The fifth count of attempted murder took place on 24 May.
240The surviving children are all under the age of 13.
241The crimes you have committed quite frankly speak for themselves.
242The murder of two children.
243The attempted murder of four children and the overarching conspiracy to murder those children.
244It's a matter for the judge where a whole life order is imposed.
245They will be sentenced on 12 November.

259When do we want it?
260Boris Johnson referred to police watchdog over friendship with businesswoman Jennifer Arcuri
261The Independent Office for Police Conduct will now assess whether the Prime Minister should be investigated for the criminal offence of misconduct in public office while he was mayor of London.
262It does not mean that this is proved in any way.
263The IOPC will now consider if it is necessary for the matter to be investigated.
264The issue has been referred to the IOPC, which deals with complaints against police forces in England and Wales.
265It was referred to the watchdog because Mr Johnson at the time held the post equivalent to a police and crime commissioner.
266Mr Johnson has denied any wrongdoing in relation to his friendship with Ms Arcuri.
267It follows a report by The Sunday Times that Ms Arcuri, an American who moved to London seven years ago, was given £126,000 in public money and was treated to privileged access to three foreign trade missions led by Mr Johnson while he was mayor.
268The Government has since frozen a £100,000 grant to Ms Arcuri's company, Hacker House, pending a review.
269It is facing embarrassing questions about the verification process carried out before awarding the money.
270However, numerous reports said calls to the number were directed to an office in California, where Ms Arcuri, 34, is said to now be based.
271PM's friendship with businesswoman 'was open secret among staff'
272The move by the GLA to refer the Prime Minister to the Independent Office for Police Conduct has met with anger from No 10.
273The public and media will rightly see through such a nakedly political put-up job.
274Third man charged with drug counts in Mac Miller's death
275LOS ANGELES (AP) - A third man has been arrested and charged with drug offenses in connection with rapper Mac Miller's overdose death last year.
276Court documents show Stephen Walter is suspected of selling counterfeit oxycodone pills laced with fentanyl that Miller possessed before he died last September of an accidental overdose of cocaine, alcohol and fentanyl, a powerful opioid contributing to an epidemic that's claimed thousands of lives in the U.S.
277Walter is accused of being the source of the pills that another man, Cameron Pettit, sold to Miller.
278Court documents unsealed Tuesday say Pettit kept getting drugs from Walter through August.
279None of the men have been directly charged with Miller's death or have entered pleas in their cases.
280Walter, who is on supervised release in a 2005 drug case, is in custody and has already been ordered to serve five months in prison for violating the terms of his release.
281Prosecutors handling the case, which was first reported Thursday by celebrity website TMZ, are asking that Walter remain in custody while he awaits trial, calling him a serious flight risk.
282A phone message left with his lawyer wasn't immediately returned.
283Pettit was charged in federal court on Sept. 4, and his attorney has declined to comment.
284Miller's rhymes included frank discussion of his depression and drug use, earning him fans among some of the biggest names in hip-hop.
285The Pittsburgh native whose real name was Malcolm James Myers McCormick was also in a two-year relationship with singer Ariana Grande that ended earlier in 2018.
286Miller is among the musicians whose deaths have been linked in recent years to opioid abuse.
287Matthew Roberts, guitarist for the band 3 Doors Down, also died of an overdose in 2016 and had fentanyl and hydrocodone in his system.
288This story has been corrected to show that Walter's first name is spelled Stephen, not Steven.
2899 year old Nigerian builds more than 30 mobile games
290The 9-year-old is building a hide and seek game, using a free programming application called Scratch 2.
291Scratch 2 allows users to create games, animations, and stories online or offline.
292So far, Basil has used it to generate more than 30 mobile games.
293Today's game involves a bat he has programmed to hide.
294The player gets a point every time he catches the bat when it emerges from its hiding place.
295I learned how to build games at a boot camp.
296In March, his father signed him up for a five-day boot camp for children aged 5 to 15.
297The camp, organized by Codefest International, was put in place to give children like Basil access to emerging technologies like robotics and virtual reality.
298Growing up, Basil used to play a lot of mobile games says his father, Basil Okpara Sr.
299But Basil's interest in creating his games grew at age 7 after he got scolded for spending all of his time playing.
300Out of annoyance, I said to him, 'you are always playing games, can't you think about building your own games so others can play yours too?'.
301Since then, Basil actively showed interest in learning how to make his own games, prompting his parents to buy him a laptop and register him to learn the first steps of building games.
302Basil, who wants to be a scientist in the future, titles his games based on what they are about.
303One of his games, 'Mosquito mash' is available on Google play store.
304Africa has the largest youth population in the world, and like Basil, this population is taking the lead when it comes to innovation on the continent.
305Two Nigerian 12-year-olds were recently celebrated for using codes to build robots to sort out their house chores.
306In May, team Acrobot, a Ghanaian all-girls high school team won the 2019 Robofest competition by programming robots to stack boxes.
307And with Africa experiencing increased investment from tech giants like Google and Microsoft, Basil and his peers are on their way to becoming future coding stars.
308Former North Carolina GOP Chair To Plead Guilty For Lying In Bribery Probe
309A former North Carolina GOP chairman will admit in court that he lied to federal agents conducting a bribery investigation of a major political donor, according to court documents filed Friday.
310The federal court docket shows that Robin Hayes is scheduled to enter a guilty plea next Wednesday.
311A factual basis document prepared as part of the plea agreement and signed by Hayes' attorney said that Hayes knew he was making false statements to FBI agents conducting the bribery probe in 2018.
312The actual plea agreement is sealed, and the factual basis doesn't specify which charges he'll plead guilty to.
313He was initially charged with conspiracy, bribery and making false statements.
314Prosecutors have accused Hayes, a former congressman, of involvement in an insurance executive's plan to funnel campaign contributions to the state's top insurance regulator in exchange for special treatment.
315The executive, Greg Lindberg, and two of his associates have been charged with attempting to bribe state Insurance Commissioner Mike Causey.
316Lindberg is an insurance and investment firm founder who has been among the state's top political donors in recent years, giving more than $5 million to state and federal candidates and committees since 2016.
317He favored Republican causes and politicians, but also gave to Democrats.
318His attorney did not respond to an email seeking comment Friday.
319A defense attorney for Hayes, Kearns Davis, didn't respond to an email Friday seeking further comment.
320The court documents filed Friday state that Hayes lied to FBI agents in August 2018 when he said he had never had conversations with Causey about staff at the state Department of Insurance.
321But Hayes had in fact spoken to the insurance commissioner about Lindberg's request to make personnel changes within the regulator's agency, according to the factual basis document.
322Prosecutors have said that Hayes also helped Lindberg request a meeting with Causey and that Hayes discussed the bribe directly with the regulator.
323An indictment unsealed in April alleges that Lindberg wanted special treatment for his insurance businesses and planned to funnel up to $2 million for Causey's 2020 reelection campaign.
324The scheme involved a request to replace a department official who had been examining a Lindberg company, according to the indictment.
325Causey, a Republican, reported the alleged attempted bribe to federal investigators and helped them build their case.
326He faces no charges.
327The indictment states that an associate of Lindberg's directed Hayes to transfer $250,000 to Causey's reelection campaign during a conversation that also included Lindberg and Causey.
328Hayes initially protested, saying that moving so much money would draw attention, but eventually relented during the conversation, according to the indictment.
329A spokeswoman for the federal prosecutor's office didn't respond to an email seeking further information about the plea agreement.
330Drivers to Go Along the First Section of the New Zakopianka
331From Saturday, the drivers will be able to use the first out of three constructed mountain sections of the S7 express road, meaning the new Zakopianka, from Skomielna Biała to Rabka Zdrój, and next the main fast traffic dual-carriageway road to Chabówka.
332As reported by the spokeswoman of the Krakow branch of the General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways (GDDKiA), Iwona Mikrut, on Friday, it is the first out of three sections of the constructed S7 route south of Krakow, from Lubień to Rabka Zdrój, which will be put into use.
333In the section more than 6 km long from Skomielna Biała to Chabówka, more than one third, i.e.
334ca. 2.3 km, was led on bridges.
335There are seventeen of them, including the longest and highest one, one kilometre long and 50 m high, as well as four small structures over the watercourses at Skomielna interchange.
336From this interchange, there are exits to Wadowice and Nowy Sącz, road no. 28 and to the former course of DK7, provided.
337From the following interchange, Zabornia, you can change to DK47 towards Nowy Targ and Zakopane and to DK7 to Chyżne and the Poland-Slovakia border.
338There was a passenger service area created on Zbójecka Góra.
339The express road ends with Zabornia interchange in Rabka Zdrój, with an about one-kilometre dual-carriageway section of DK47 to Chabówka added, where it is connected to the existing dual-carriageway road connecting Chabówka and Rdzawka.
340The S7 section Skomielna Biała Rabka Zdrój and the new section of the national fast traffic (GP) road no. 47 from Rabka Zdrój to Chabówka was constructed by Italian company Salini Impregilo from Milan.
341The project cost was ca. PLN 615 million.
342The Defects Liability for the works performed will be valid for 10 years.
343The section of the new Zakopianka of ca. 16.7 km, including 15.8 km with the express road parameters, was divided into three implementation parts, each with its separate contractor: Lubień Naprawa, Naprawa Skomielna Biała and Skomielna Biała Rabka Zdrój.
344The first section from the entrance to the tunnel is made by the Polish-Ukrainian consortium of IDS-BUD S.A. from Warsaw and ALTIS-HOLDING from Kiev, the tunnel section by Italian Astaldi, and the third by the Italian company Salini.
345The total cost of those tasks is close to PLN 2.5 billion.
346The project is co-funded from the European Union Funds within the Operational Programme Infrastructure and Environment 20142020.
347The funding amounts to more than PLN 1.3 billion.
348Along the entire section, there are 38 road structures created (bridges, overbridges, long bridges) and a two-chamber tunnel 2.06 km long.
349According to the statement of the road administrator, the 7.6 km long section from Lubień to Naprawa will be put into use this year, with a temporary connection to the old DK7 road which will be used by drivers to bypass the tunnel construction site.
350The last section Naprawa Skomielna Biała 3 km long will be used by drivers in 2021, after the two-chamber tunnel construction is completed, with every carriageway ca. 2.06 km long.

366Section of Sopocka street in Nisko already rebuilt
367On Tuesday, 24th September, the Sopocka street in Nisko was officially opened for traffic.
368The total costs of the works amounted to PLN 1 million 803 thousands, among which PLN 1 million 26 thousands were financed from FDS and the remaining amount is the financial contribution of the Nisko District as well as the Nisko Commune and the City of Nisko.

374Facebook to hide number of likes in trial aimed at improving users' wellbeing
375Some Facebook users will soon no longer see the number of likes, reactions and video views on other's posts in a world-first trial aimed at boosting users' wellbeing.
376Instead, likes will be private and only visible to the post's author in a change that follows a similar test on Instagram which started in July in Australia.
377The new Facebook trial, which begins on Friday, will also kick off in Australia.
378Facebook Australia's director of policy Mia Garlick said the change was based on wellbeing research and feedback from mental health professionals that the number of likes can cause social comparison.
379It really is just taking that number out of the equation, so that people can focus on the quality of their interactions and the quality of the content rather than on the number of likes or reactions.
380It's hoped that people will be more comfortable with sharing on the platform rather than feeling like it's a competition, she said.
381Garlick assured businesses who rely on Facebook they will still receive all the same metrics and insights they previously accessed.
382She said it was too early to say if the test would roll out to other countries like Instagram's trial has in Australia, Canada, Brazil, New Zealand, Japan, Italy and Ireland.
383As with Instagram, which is owned by Facebook, there is no indication of when the trial will end or if the change will be made permanent.
384We think this is a great country where we can get some really good feedback about whether this is a valuable experience for people on our services or not.
385Częstochowa: Councillors want compensation for pilgrims from the Curia
386The Curia of Częstochowa has not yet commented on the councillors' appeal to the local metropolitan Archbishop Wacław Depo on providing financial compensation for the management of the waste disposal during pilgrimage season.
387The city requests PLN 1 from every pilgrim.
388The Vice-Chairperson of the Częstochowa City Council and candidate for the Sejm, Łukasz Kot, spoke about the speech addressed to the metropolitan archbishop during a press conference, in which a leader of the Spring party, Robert Biedroń, took part, held on Friday on Holy Virgin Mary Avenue leading up to the Jasna Góra Monastery.
389Kot announced that the day before that local councillors from the Democratic Left Alliance party passed the appeal to archbishop Wacław Depo on passing on to the city one PLN from each pilgrim visiting Częstochowa to support the work of municipal services.
390We adopted the appeal to the Archbishop Depo so he would help the city, help us clean up after the pilgrims, and prepare for pilgrims.
391They also highlighted that besides financial matters, their proposal results from the numerous reservations from inhabitants about the cleanliness of routes used by pilgrims.
392According to the information from the Jasna Góra press office, over the course of the last year, 834 thousand people joined 200 nationwide pilgrimages in Poland to the shrine.
393About 124 thousand believers took part in 255 walking pilgrimages.
394More than 8,8 thousand people came to Częstochowa in cycling pilgrimages (133 groups) and 440 people (16 groups) in running pilgrimages.
395Nearly 20 people reached the shrine on horseback, and more than 170 pilgrimages in two groups on rollerblades.
396According to a survey performed by Pollster, in elections to the Sejm, Law and Justice would obtain 45% votes, Civic Coalition 26%, The Left 14%, PSL 7% and Confederation 5% votes.
397The presenter Edyta Lewandowska clearly emphasised that only four committees exceeded the electoral threshold and would enter the Sejm.
398TVP viewers were also presented a division of seats in the Sejm without the votes given to Confederation..
399It would provide Law and Justice with independent rule.
400He also emphasised the lack of response of right-wing journalists.
401The request in this case was received by the Sejm Marshall on 24 September 2019.
402Earlier on the same day, the requests for all those personal decisions were granted positive opinions of the Sejm Committee for State Audit, with the voting for the opinion concerning dismissal of Ewa Polkowska carried out twice, as during the first committee voting there was the same number of votes for and against.
403The new Deputy President of the Supreme Audit Office Małgorzata Motylow comes from Chełm in the voivodeship of Lublin.
404Brother Jailed For Life For Pakistan Social Media Star Qandeel Baloch's Honour Killing
405Qandeel Baloch, who shot to fame for her social media photos, was strangled in July 2016.
406Baloch, who shot to fame for her risque selfies -- tame by Western standards, but considered provocative in deeply misogynistic Pakistan -- was strangled in July 2016.
407Her brother Muhammad Waseem was arrested.
408His lawyer, Sardar Mehmood, told AFP the court in the eastern city of Multan had found his client guilty and sentenced him to life imprisonment, in a long-awaited verdict.
409Earlier, Baloch's mother Anwar Mai told AFP she had hoped her son would be acquitted.
410The killings are usually carried out by a close relative.
411Under Pakistan's Qisas (blood money) and Diyat (retribution) law, they can then seek forgiveness from a victim's relatives.
412Three months after Baloch's murder, parliament passed new legislation mandating life imprisonment for honour killings.
413However, whether a murder is defined as a crime of honour is left to the judge's discretion, meaning that killers can theoretically claim a different motive and still be pardoned.
414In Baloch's case, her parents initially insisted their son would be given no absolution.
415But, heartbroken at the thought of losing him also, they changed their minds and said they wanted him to be forgiven.
416International revulsion at the killing had seen the Pakistani state take the unprecedented step of declaring itself an heir alongside the parents, however, forcing the case to move ahead.
417Some of Baloch's better-known actions included offering to perform a striptease for the Pakistani cricket team, and donning a plunging scarlet dress on Valentine's Day.
418She attracted criticism and threats but was perceived by many, including young people, as breaking new ground in a country where presenting yourself as a Kim Kardashian-like figure can be seen as a bold, political act of women's empowerment.

429Lawlessness double displaced from NW Nigeria to 40,000: UNHCR
430Worsening violence has doubled the number of people displaced from northwest Nigeria to some 40,000 over the past four months, the United Nations said on Friday.
431UNHCR spokesman Babar Baloch said Boko Haram, the Islamist group that has waged a decade-long insurgency in the north of the country, was not responsible for the latest attacks.
432Rather, the upsurge of violence in the past 10 months in Sokoto, Zamfara and Katsina states in Nigeria was the work of organized armed groups.
433He said there were frequent reports of kidnapping, torture, extortion, murder and sexual violence by attackers who also destroy homes and steal property.
434Military and police have been deployed to tackle criminal gangs in the region.
435But the military is stretched from fights against Boko Haram and Islamic State's West Africa branch, which split from the former group in 2016.
436What they are coming with are horrific accounts.
437Those fleeing are mostly crossing into neighboring Niger.
438In a statement, the UNHCR said it expected more to flee to Niger in the coming months as the security situation, particularly in Sokoto state, deteriorates.
439New trial date set for man accused of killing woman, 2 kids
440A new trial date has been scheduled for a Guatemala man accused of killing an Iowa woman and her two children.
441Polk County District Court records say 31-year-old Marvin Escobar-Orellana is charged with three counts of first-degree murder under what authorities say was a false name he initially gave to police: Marvin Esquivel-Lopez.
442He's pleaded not guilty.
443Police say he fatally shot 29-year-old Rossibeth Flores-Rodriguez, her 11-year-old daughter and 5-year-old son on July 16 in a Des Moines home.
444Court records show the new trial date of Jan. 27 will give attorneys for both sides more time to prepare.
445U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials have said Escobar-Orellana is in the United States illegally and had twice been deported before the shooting.
446He was convicted in 2010 of illegal entry into the U.S.
447Boris Johnson faces Cabinet revolt to lower Brexit demands and cut a compromise deal with Brussels - The Sun
448With just three weeks to go until a showdown EU leaders' summit, fears are growing around the PM's top table that he is running out of time to win major concessions.
449Boris Johnson is facing a Cabinet revolt to lower his Brexit demands and cut a compromise deal with the EU.
450Senior ministers expect EU power brokers - led by Germany's Angela Merkel - to offer the embattled Tory leader a last minute compromise, such as a three year time limit on the backstop.
451We're never going to beat the numbers in the Commons, and they are against us.
452The PM has to lean in now and take what he can get.
453Being aggressive doesn't work, the Cummings plan has clearly failed.
454We just can't fight battles on so many fronts.
455A second Cabinet minister has vowed to tell Mr Johnson to try to push through ex-PM Theresa May's deal if all else fails.
456The numbers are there for it now, everyone is desperate to end this.
457It's all over for Boris and it's all over for all of us if we're forced to extend.
458Sir John Major accused Boris of not taking the negotiation seriously.
459But we don't see him sitting down in Brussels, hammering out an agreement.
460Brexit Secretary Stephen Barclay goes back to Brussels today for more talks with the EU's Michel Barnier.
461They will discuss a paper on how an all-Ireland zone on food and livestock would work.

472As time went by Bonnie became a social media star.
473She has more than 14 thousand followers on Instagram.
474Lorraine Kelly: I was told I'd never make it in TV with a Glasgow accent
475I had been working as a researcher at BBC Scotland and been told by the big boss that I would never make it in TV because of my Glasgow accent.
476I went down to London to meet all of the TV-am team and see the show being broadcast, before taking over at the Glasgow office.
477I will never forget, Anne Diamond and Mike Morris were interviewing the icon that is Bette Davis that morning.
478I couldn't believe that I was in the same room as a living legend.
479I knew this was where I wanted to be.
480Kelly started her career as a local newspaper reporter in East Kilbride, Scotland before becoming a Scottish correspondent for TV-am in 1984.
481She went on to host shows including GMTV, ITV Breakfast and Daybreak before launching her eponymous morning programme Lorraine.
482She will mark her 35th anniversary with a special show looking back at her most memorable moments and interviews.
483You have to be honest and authentic.
484Do your homework and be both interested and interesting.
485I had no idea that many of the families whose children had been killed or wounded were watching our live show from Dunblane the day after the horrific killing of sixteen children and their teacher.
486One of the mums, Pam Ross, whose five-year-old daughter Joanna was murdered, asked to see me privately and we ended up talking for hours at her house.
487It was all under the radar, I went to Joanna's funeral and Pam and I have been friends ever since.
488They have had to put up with the pain of not knowing what has happened to their beloved daughter, as well as the most appalling trolling online.
489My heart goes out to them.
490Lorraine's 35th anniversary show is on Monday, September 30 from 8.30am on ITV.
491Zimbabwe: Chiwenga Feared Trapping
492Vice-President Constantino Chiwenga turned down an offer by the late president Robert Mugabe to take over the presidency at the height of the coup as he feared it might be a trap to rubberstamp the military take-over in November 2017, a senior government official has claimed.
493As reported by the Zimbabwe Independent last week, Mugabe offered Chiwenga to take over the presidency as negotiations between him and the army ensued during the coup.
494However, a senior government official said on social media Chiwenga did not turn down the offer out of fear, but he was able to see through Mugabe's plan to use him to prove to world leaders and the African Union (AU) that indeed he had been toppled in a coup.
495In a Twitter thread which confirmed Zimbabwe's 37-year-ruler was willing to hand over power to Chiwenga and not President Emmerson Mnangagwa, Jamwanda 2, whom government officials confirmed was a senior government official in the Office of the President and Cabinet, said intense negotiations were held at the time over the issue.
496Government officials said Mugabe approached Chiwenga through one of his emissaries when he realised power was slipping though his hands.
497Intercession between the military command element and late former president had three strands, according to the senior government official.
498The official said characters involved in the negotiations included presidential spokesperson George Charamba, Central Intelligence Organisation then acting boss Aaron Nhepera and Roman Catholic Bishop cleric Fidelis Mukonori.
499Former Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe governor Gideon Gono was another strand after he was sent by Mugabe on a one-man mission with the offer of the presidency to Chiwenga who was the Zimbabwe Defence Forces (ZDF) commander.
500The man, who in death more than in life has been described as an African icon, tried in vain to get the AU to denounce the military operation, while seeking intervention by other African leaders.
501Offer of presidency to then CDF (Commander Defence Forces Chiwenga) by the late (Mugabe) was not by choice.
502But there was also a bit of political baiting which the late hoped would turn the tables, at the very least diplomatically.
503Recall that commanders had declared they had not, and would not, overthrow the constitutional order, a development which would have set them on a collision with the AU position on coups.
504The late (Mugabe) hoped the then CDF (Chiwenga) would swallow the bait, thereby putting paid to claims by commanders they had not overthrown the constitutional order.
505The hope for (the) late (Mugabe) was that the AU, which by the way was still very confused by the whole situation and how to fit it within its theoretical taxonomy on coups, would then have no option, but to describe it as a coup, in which case calls for military intervention would then have credence.
506That was the spirit and calculation within which the offer was made.
507Officials said Mugabe made the move when he realised that the defence forces were no longer ready to protect him.
508They said Mugabe was forced to write a resignation letter after the military had warned the strongman that he risked a Gadaffi-style lynching.
509Military bosses told him they would not turn their guns on citizens if they marched to his Blue Roof residence.
510The then CDF and commanders correctly read (the) calculation.
511The emissary (Gono) of that desperate message was told -- through a powerful metaphor -- that isu tiri vemakwapa-makwapa (we belong to the sect of camouflages, that is, the military); we are not politicians or (in) political competition, the senior government official said.
512Mugabe also tried to use the same strategy to lure Mnangagwa back from short exile in South Africa so that they could have a discussion on the coup and succession.
513Apart from negotiating with the army, Mugabe also sought help from the region.
514The South Africans, who were key to the process -- not least because of their economic and regional power, but also because the then president Jacob Zuma was the Sadc chairperson -- refused to intervene, but made it clear that if the army had invaded Mugabe's house, as they were threatening repeatedly in the background, South African troops would have arrived in Harare in no time.
515China needs strong leadership or will 'crumble,' policy paper says
516China's cabinet news office said in a white paper that the country's success since the Communists took power 70 years ago was down to the party's leadership.
517China is huge in size, has complex national conditions, and its governance difficulties are rarely seen.
518Chinese authorities have long justified a firm fist in dealing with problems, like the crackdown on pro-democracy protests in Beijing in 1989, as being necessary for national stability.
519Strong-arm President Xi Jinping, who will headline the anniversary celebrations of the world's second-biggest economy on Tuesday, has further tightened party rule and cracked down on those who may challenge authority since taking office in late 2012.
520Xi has also overseen a military modernization program that has unnerved the region.
521The Chinese people do not have it in their genes to invade others or dominate the world.
522In modern times, China has been bullied by the Great Powers, war and turmoil have left a deep impression with the suffering caused; China will never impose the sufferings it has been through on other peoples.
523China is marking the anniversary at a time of uncertainty for the country, which is locked in a bitter trade war with the United States and faces challenges from a slowing economy as well as anti-government protests in the Chinese territory of Hong Kong.
524China is a mature economy with a complete industrial system, complete industrial chain, broad market space and strong economic development momentum.
525China is confident that it has the ability to face difficulties, turn crises into opportunities, and open up a new world.
526The United States should look rationally at China's development, as China has no intention of challenging the United States and does not want to replace the United States, it added.
527The United States cannot control China, and it is even more unlikely to stop China's development.
528Curbing and suppressing other countries and transferring domestic contradictions abroad will not keep the United States strong.
529The world of Jacek Palkiewicz The real face of Dubai
530Emirate of Dubai is a place still struggling to find its own identity, torn between the Bedouin tradition, religious Islamic radicalism as well as the extremism of modern times.
531This trend-setting leader of modern tourism stimulates imagination and desires, sparks vanity of the rich ones with snobbish hotels and as a tax paradise, draws in investors and salespeople.
532Websites spark intensively promote this city of dreams that combines in itself an exciting temple of luxury and an essence of the 21st century architecture.
533The emirate founded on petroleum-rich sands soon became a paradise for those who love laps of luxury, five star hotels, beautiful weather and swimming pools lying hundreds meters above the ground.
534Many people are admiring the omnipresent luxury, appreciate the creative hypreractivism and proactive struggle for creating an avant-garde atmosphere.
535This is a city whose motto tells us everything: it surprises, it shocks and it enchants.
536Almost at every turn.
537There are, however, still a few people able to turn a critical eye on Dubai, calling it a city without a soul.
538As argued by the British writer, Lawrence Osborne this metropolis, full and contrasts and contradictions, is nothing more than cheap, grotesque city.
539It turned into a futuristic nightmare, fully dominated by the Guinness World Records, Emirate's unofficial constitution.
540Everything here must be bigger and prettier than anywhere else in the world.
541Among the jungle of extravagances and lavish luxury, it lacks something that may be not too transparent in the old Europe, but has a great influence on life quality.
542In Wroclaw, Berlin or Madrid everyone feels like home.
543Unlike in Dubai for sure.
544Escaping the world of magic, I took off its golden mask and revealed the second face of this artificial paradise.
545The face that you can hardly ever read or hear about.
546I am showing the famine of Asian people contrasting with the fairytale-like life led by the divine cast of native Dubai people, the grandchildren of illiterate Bedouins.
547I am discovering the jungle of extreme famine, for instance into the ghetto at the outskirts where lots of Asian workmen live in very harsh conditions.
548It is them who, as slaves, within one generation's lifetime, managed to build the sky-touching Manhattan right on the desert.
549They came here, attracted by good salaries, willing to help their families make a decent living, but what they experienced, is a nightmare.
550Tourists will never see it, as that would destroy the myth build over the years.
551Since international communities are increasingly expressing their criticism, the issue of cheap workforce is a major nuisance for the emir.
552Spice Girls' Mel C bans diet talk at home after eating disorder battle
553Spice Girl Melanie Chisholm has admitted diets are banned in her home after her own personal battles with eating disorders which saw her eat nothing but fruit and vegetables for years.
554But I think one of the positives of having gone through having an eating disorder is that I'm very conscious of how I speak around her.
555That positive language - it's habit now.
556The photo that shocked the world
557A Polish girl and an American documentalist gave the world proof of war cruelty.
558The legendary photo by Julien Bryan can be seen at the Museum of the Second World War in Gdańsk.
559In the tragic days of September 1939, he was in the capital city of Poland and witnessed the drama of bombarded city and its residents.
560His account has received wide attention in the West.
561Initially, the Mayor of Warsaw, Stefan Starzyński, helped him and lent his car, but later on he asked him to leave the city immediately for his own safety.
562Bryan wrote a farewell letter to his family in the USA, deposited it in an embassy safe and... stayed.
563Over the next four weeks, he tried to be wherever the Varsovians were.
564The city was continuously attacked by 400 planes with the use of artillery.
565Bryan's photographs depicted death, distress and fight for survival in the city ruins.
566Just before the surrender, together with embassy employees, he smuggled negatives overseas.
567He would not stop talking about Hitler's crimes.
568First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt watched his shocking footage.
569Shortly after, the USA started war preparations.
570Trial of ex-athlete accused of multiple rapes goes to jury
571Jury deliberations are under way in the rape trial of an ex-university of Delaware baseball player accused of multiple sexual assaults.
572Jurors began deliberating the fate of 23-year-old Clay Conaway on Friday after 10 days of testimony and arguments.
573A 21-year-old woman says Conaway raped her after she drove to his house in June 2018.
574The encounter happened three weeks after the two connected on the online meeting site Bumble, and he sent her a nude picture of himself.
575She is among six women whom Conaway is accused of sexually assaulting between 2013 and 2018.
576Prosecutors say the woman objected when consensual cuddling escalated to Conway forcing himself on her.
577Defense attorneys have targeted the woman's conflicting accounts and memory lapses and say she may have regretted being physically intimate.
578Gold on two wheels: Polish bike worth one million PLN
579The gold-plated bicycle worth one million PLN was on display at the 10th jubilee edition of the BIKE-EXPO Kielce International Bicycle Trade Show.
580It is a unique vehicle printed in a 3D printer.
581Its designer, 30-year old Adam Zdanowicz has just received the bicycle Oscar for it at the World Exhibition of Custom Bicycles in Las Vegas.
582This unique layer has been created by my friend from Żory.
583Video reveals tourist hotspot as heavily polluted
584Surrounded by the Opera House, Circular Quay, Luna Park and of course the iconic Harbour Bridge, Sydney Harbour is the major contributor to the $21.9 billion Sydney tourism pumps into Australia's economy each year.
585But beneath the bridge lies an ugly truth.
586Sydney's famous harbour is one of the most polluted waterways in the country, receiving around 15 Olympic-size swimming pools of pollutants each year.
587This horrific statistic makes one of our greatest tourism drawcards also one of our dirtiest.
588According to a new video, titled Sydney Harbour Above and Below, the waters around Australia's most popular city is filled with cigarette butts, plastic bags and bottles, lost shoes and clothing and even dead animals - all coming into the harbour from stormwater run-off.
589But the biggest component choking our waterways is plastic.
590It does look beautiful, but it is one of the more modified and polluted estuaries along our coastline.
591The CSIRO estimates around 1560kg of plastic enters our waterways each hour, most of it coming into the harbour through stormwater drains.
592Two thirds of our pollution comes from stormwater run-off.
593But like an iceberg, the problem on Sydney's harbour is far bigger below the surface, with the seabed receiving 70 per cent of plastics that enter the ocean.
594I think if more people knew (what was under the water) they would just be horrified.
595Overwhelmingly ... over half of everything we find is plastic bags.
596The other 50 per cent is at least made out of plastic.
597When you look at the harbour it looks beautiful, and people can't believe that we get all of this plastic and all of this rubbish just under the surface.
598Jeremy Brown, co-founder and managing director of the Ocean Protect, said there were ways people - both locals and visitors alike - could help to ease the amount of plastic and debris entering our waterways.
599We have to reduce the amount of plastic that we are using, recycle better and be more conscious about what is going down our drains which ultimately ends up in our oceans.
600If we ruin the ocean, we are going to kill ourselves because 50 per cent of the oxygen we breathe in comes from the ocean.
601It absorbs 30 per cent of carbon dioxide and our food source.
602But we can fix this harbour and bring it back to where it was, but it's pretty simple.
603If we kill our oceans, we kill ourselves.
604The video, which was funded by recycling company TOMRA as part of their broader efforts to educate Australians on protecting the environment and reducing the impact of drink containers that can often end up in nature, coincides with a study about plastic and mental health that was also released this month.
