policy changes to tackle

00:09:07
a global crisis of plastic pollution at the
major un meeting on the environment in

00:09:13
Nairobi recently member states agreed to
cut single use plastics by 2030 below

00:09:19
its reports. After 5 days of talks in the
Kenyan capital and vitamine ministers

00:09:26

a bold blueprint for change seem Kistler
is is Tonya's enviro man minister and

president of the for the un and Vironment
assembly Well I believe. This is the most

00:09:42
ambitious the correlation from you know.
There are equal results to build on one

00:09:48
single use products as far as I
know the universal commitment

00:09:55
so I am very happy in this
he says the ward is at

00:09:59
a crossroads but countries have decided
to do things differently from reducing

00:10:05
dependence on single use plastics to
placings us to an ability at the heart of

00:10:10
future development the minister has
pledged to address and Vironment to

00:10:14
a talent with innovative solutions we need
international commitments because the

Transpower the rate impact of

it's international problem it cannot be

made here some 4700 delegates including

called an issue that my generation is

00:12:10
very much worried about is the plastic
pollution we have plastics everywhere 80

00:12:15
percent of the plastic goes into the
environment and will stay there for ever and

00:12:20
we have to clean up this mess so I want
to see reason Lucian's that are very

00:12:25
ambitious and that do not only talk about
waste management but that rather take

00:12:32
waste reduction as

00:12:33
a priority we have to redesign our future
campaigners are the meeting accuse the

00:12:39
United States of watering down proposals
back by the European Union that

00:12:45
governments to phase out single use
plastic products by 2025 Reilly was

00:12:51
a student at Lehigh University in the
United States. At the conference you know

00:12:57
especially in the United States recent
government they've sort of been retracting

00:13:03
a lot of previous environmental legislation
basically making it worse taking away

00:13:08
protections like basically for the sake of
economic profit which I think is really

00:13:12
unfortunate and you know

00:13:13
a lot of times these big companies are
big companies really influence our

00:13:18
government

00:13:18
a lot and these are the companies that are
polluting and so they're able to end.

00:13:22
Once our legislation to be anti environment
i key focus of the meeting was

00:13:27
protecting oceans and fragile
eco systems ministers adopted

Tunisia is preparing for presidential and
parliamentary elections at the end of the

00:15:44
year with many residents expressing frustration
over the perceived inability of the

00:15:51
political system to respond to their social
and economic needs on his Ezine Khalifa

00:15:57
founded of ma doon creative youth

00:16:00
a social civil society organization
in Tunisia spoke to v.o.a.

00:16:05
Senior analyst mamma. About the crucial
need for economic development and the role

00:16:12
of civil society in the democratic
transition. If we can't have and sustain

00:16:19
a peaceful political transition while we
are not solving whose economic issues and

00:16:24
to remember the slogans of the revolution
that were about drops freedom and dignity

00:16:30
my feeling is that we are not addressing
the issues that the us who started the

00:16:34
revolution living and working class areas
are so still marginalised and feel more

00:16:40
left behind than ever
and this is definitely

00:16:44
a threat to the transition and not
threat because it could become

00:16:47
a threat to the stability but because we
are not addressing these issues they're

00:16:54
pressing issues and today for me the hope
is that civil society can bridge the gap

00:16:59
between the youth and the decision makers
civil society can have the trust of

00:17:06
the population can go out and propose
recommendations for policymakers for

00:17:13
a private sector for other organisations
want to act locally to solve immediate

00:17:18
issues but also influence policies and
actually conversation at the national level

00:17:25
to really address the economic issues
that they are talking about in

00:17:29
a more longer term way Tunisia with the
ruler presidential and parliamentary

00:17:35
elections this year Tunisia has
to fulfill the new free and fair

00:17:42
cycle of elections and 21000
is the whole thing that every

00:17:48
Tunisian is expecting but for sure Tunisia
has an institution the independent body

00:17:54
for elections so I don't know if political
parties are ready yet I don't know if

00:18:00
there are they will have economic proposals
that to me are much much needed now

00:18:06
people to be listening to not
only what is the vision for

00:18:12
a new economic model in Tunisia but how
the political. Party that is going to win

00:18:17
or the coalition that is going to win is
going to implement these policies in an

00:18:22
environment that seems to be stagnating
right now so what fully these elections

00:18:28
will show

00:18:29
a real will and political parties to
change the status quo and the that the

00:18:34
conversations won't be about rising secular
versus Islamist formations because

00:18:41
it was never why the revolution started you
are a leader of more than one which is

00:18:47
a civil society in Tunisia
what role do you envision

00:18:50
a fuller civil society to bridge the gap
between political parties actually their

00:18:56
their role if they see for civil society
is to remain independent from the

00:19:01
political parties and from the government
and to generally work in the gaps that

00:19:07
are left out by the state civil society
could be the ally of decision makers in

00:19:12
pointing at the issues that are the least
discussed real immediate needs of the

00:19:18
population John works with us living and
working class areas we are talking to them

00:19:23
we gain their trust we have their ears
and we proposed recommendations for

00:19:28
policymakers private sector and civil
society organizations and I think it's our

00:19:34
role to build this bridge between the
marginalized population and the decision

00:19:39
makers so we can propose recommendations
to change and improve the living condition

00:19:44
of these population so I think this is
what my John is doing but we need to have

00:19:49
a space for civil society to thrive so
that's why the independence of civil society

00:19:56
is very important and we are actually
raising from the front from the growth that

00:20:01
also raises questions how can you provide
the space for civil society to be

00:20:06
independent and to help you in improving
the society if you are not providing

00:20:11
public funds for that and good oversight
that was arms as Khalifa founder of us.

unlike the previous isn't where we had the

budget

00:22:41
a virus why I think in the crop but didn't
have that and generally we can say it is

00:22:47
a good season Zimbabwe does not produce
much to export and the economy is in

00:22:52
depression which has resulted in fuel in
medical shortages in the country due to

percent in

a D.G.'s accounts at their prevailing
interbank rate that to the foreign currency

00:23:38
in the last counts should only be used to
buy farming in polls as farmers prepare

00:23:44
for the coming season farmers have mixed
feelings towards the payments esteem but

00:23:49
they were initially told the old only gets
30 percent of the opinions in foreign.

here's Chris you know. What

00:35:29
a match the other day when you reach the
final he said that you were trembling you

00:35:35
didn't know what to say what are you feeling
like now if you were trembling just to

00:35:39
reach the final. There's just so many
thoughts and so many emotions going through

00:35:45
my mind. I was actually shaking.
Before the match point on

00:35:52
her serve. But just throughout
the whole match it was

00:35:58
a rollercoaster it was very up and down but
I'm really happy that I managed to pull

00:36:03
through physically and mentally when the
match point happened in the final match

00:36:07
point and you drop to the court and
obviously you couldn't believe what had

00:36:11
happened but can you can you put it into
words what that emotion was like at that

00:36:16
very moment there's no way to put these
kind of moments into words what I can say

00:36:22
is that it means everything to me all the
all the sacrifices of hard work that I've

00:36:27
put in. Throughout the years I really believe
that I deserve to be here being able

00:36:34
to play in front of amazing crowns like

I really don't want to reenact what

00:37:00
happened in Auckland and
I didn't I remember.

00:37:07

from it I gained experience from it

00:37:11

is all because you set you up well for the

00:37:16
rest of this year and beyond just talk

00:46:31
Colleague James Buddy I'm Sonny young and
you're listening to the sunny side of

00:46:37
sports on the Voice of America Neal
life 1st sold his 1st photos to

00:46:44
sports illustrate. Magazine when
he was 16 years old now 76 years

00:46:51
old the New York born lifer is recognized
as one of the top sports photographers

00:46:57
looking back on his career Neal life or
talks about his favorite sport to shoot

00:47:03
it's well I was like photographing
boxing I found boxing to be

00:47:09
a sport one I like the people I mean I
believe it or not the nicest athletes in

00:47:13
sports or boxers and hockey players and I
mean in the in both instances you were

00:47:18
dealing with with pretty and they dictated
guy certainly when I was shooting but

00:47:23
they just were they were always gentlemen
he would only be into the boxing gym in

00:47:26
the language changed dramatically more
important they would just I was so full

00:47:31
operative meal life for says his personal
favorite image and his most famous

00:47:38
photograph both feature the late great
world heavyweight boxing champion Muhammad

00:47:43
Ali You know my best known picture is
Muhammad Ali standing over Sonny Liston but

00:47:48
that is so much luck involved in that I
mean the photographer Ben I'm not being

00:47:52
modest Believe me I never met

00:47:54
a modest photographer who was any good so
without sounding modest that picture was

00:48:01
better than 50 percent luck I'd say 80
percent luck I didn't miss but if you look

00:48:06
between Ali's legs there's

00:48:07
a bald photographer Herb sharp and very
good boxing for Taraf and he was the other

00:48:13
Sports Illustrated photographer ringside
and he's looking up at Ali's rear end so

00:48:17
you know no matter how good
he is he's not getting

00:48:20
a very good picture so that one isn't my
favorite my favorite sports picture I took

00:48:25
a year later when Cleaver
Williams for Mohamed Ali it's

00:48:29
a diamond shaped picture looking straight
down on the canvas and it's the only

00:48:34
picture I took in my career that I wouldn't
change there's nothing I would change I

00:48:40
mean I've looked at

00:48:40
a few years I usually look at my pictures
and this it was some little tweak I could

00:48:44
to make to make

00:48:45
a. Even better that's the one shot that
I would never have and it hangs in my

00:48:49
living room and it's the only picture because
again my collection of other people's

00:48:53
photographs is what I had in my having and
I still haven't my pop and the ones I

00:48:57
have kept. But the alley Williams picture
is the only one of my photographs that

00:49:03
hung in my house all these years reflecting
on his early years Neal life 1st says

00:49:09
he did not start out thinking he would be

00:49:12
a professional sports photographer
It came slowly I never quite

00:49:19
honestly I never knew there was

00:49:20
a profession called photo journalism I
knew that when Life magazine and Sports

00:49:24
Illustrated and look magazine said of the
Evening Post in those days there are

00:49:27
a lot of places to to market your pictures
or sell your photographs but you know I

00:49:34
was a hobby and I just. Got
to be warrant more than

00:49:38
a hobby rather slowly my mother and
father I'm sure thought they had

00:49:42
a young doctor growing up in the house
that would get over this is like stamp

00:49:46
collecting and calling collect for you
eventually move on to other things I

00:49:51
suddenly began finding people interested
in my pictures and one day I'd wake up and

00:49:58
just thought pinching myself to say hey
they're paying me to go to the World Series

00:50:02
I mean all the baseball fans and it was
in the Super Bowl in those days but I'm
