NewsReuters VideosPlastic recycling in focus as Paris talks underway
STORY: As talks start in Paris this week on a global plastics treaty, a divide is emerging on how to deal with plastic pollution... between countries that want to restrict production of plastic and the petrochemicals industry, which says recycling is the answer.A 55-nation coalition called for a strong treaty that restricted certain hazardous chemicals and banned problematic plastic products that are hard to recycle and often end up in nature.Inger Andersen heads the United Nations Environment Program, which is hosting the talks:“Please bear in mind that only elimination, reduction, a full life-cycle approach, transparency and a just transition - only those can bring success, because the truth is that we cannot recycle our way out of this mess. // Recycling infrastructure is unable to cope with today’s volumes.”Greenpeace unveiled an artwork in Paris in the shape of a machine churning out bottles in front of an oil derrick.Many countries say the treaty's goal should be "circularity" – or keeping already-produced plastic items in circulation as long as possible.Greenpeace campaigner Marian Ledesma:“There are studies showing that there is microplastic in our air, in our water and in our bodies as well. And that's just one facet of the problem. If you go into the communities where plastic production happens, they’re already suffering from very serious health risks and health conditions because of emissions, of contamination from these plastic production facilities.”UNEP has released a blueprint for reducing plastic waste by 80% by 2040. It outlined three key areas of action: reuse, recycling and reorientation of plastic packaging to alternative materials.But some environmental groups criticized the report for focusing on waste management, which they saw as a concession to the global plastics and petrochemicals industry.

NewsReuters VideosUganda enacts harsh anti-gay law with death penalty
STORY: Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has signed one of the world's toughest anti-LGBTQ laws, which includes the death penalty.Same-sex relations were already illegal in Uganda, as in more than 30 African countries, but the new law goes much further. The move has drawn Western condemnation and could risk some of the billions in foreign aid that Uganda receives.It stipulates capital punishment for so-called "serial offenders" against the law and transmission of a terminal illness like HIV/AIDS through gay sex.It also decrees a 20-year sentence for, quote, "promoting" homosexuality.Activists have vowed a legal challenge to the law. Ugandan activist Delovie "Papa de" Kwagala said the law would do harm beyond the country's borders.“This is bad news, this is not just for queer Ugandans. But for queer people across the African continent. Ghana has literally been on it for months. Tanzania. Nigeria. All of these other countries that I’m also not mentioning, it’s just like, they have been waiting for this.”Museveni has called homosexuality a "deviation from normal" and urged lawmakers to resist "imperialist" pressure.He had insisted lawmakers tone down parts of the law, but his ultimate approval was not seen as in doubt.Anti-LGBTQ attitudes have hardened in conservative Uganda in recent years, in part due to campaigning by Western evangelical church groups."You are arresting us for literally doing nothing, for simply existing, you know, but where are we supposed to go? How did we become refugees in our own countries?"Washington and the European Union have condemned the bill.The UN and the Global Fund to fight AIDS said the law put Uganda's fight against HIV "in grave jeopardy."
