Croatia: War victims found in mass grave at garbage dump

A former Queensland teacher missing for over three weeks is thought to have been dumped in a bin outside her home.

A former Queensland teacher missing for over three weeks is thought to have been dumped in a bin outside her home. The authorities are now looking to comb through 3,000 tonnes of garbage at the Swanbank Renewable Energy and Waste Management Facility, west of Brisbane, to look for the body of 78-year-old Lesley Trotter. Multiple police units were collaborating with Australian Defence Force to sift through the garbage which will be exhumed from the ground. "There is sum of 3,000 tonne of general waste we have to sort through. The waste will be exhumed from the ground, tipped into lanes approximately 30 centimetres deep, and police and ADF personnel will sift through by hand and using rakes...in an attempted to find Ms Trotter's body," Detective Superintendent Andrew Massingham informed the media. The search operation is expected to take some time as the crew will be able to search through 200 tonnes of garbage per day only. "We've been able to use certain technologies to pinpoint an area that we believe is most likely to yield Ms Trotter's body," added Massingham.

However, the agencies later received a tip, informing them Trotter's body was dumped in a wheelie bin and taken out by the garbage trucks as part of a weekly collection. “Ongoing investigations can reveal that on the morning of Tuesday, the 28th of March this year, the body of a female we believe was Lesley Trotter was located in a general waste wheelie bin,” the police said in a statement at the time. “It was evident she was deceased. Due to the positioning of the body, we can’t rule out foul play. Later that morning that bin was collected by a rubbish truck.” ALSO READ | Australian man loses life in shark attack in New Caledonia The police have also questioned the neighbours for any leads but so far have got nothing. However, some reports state that Trotter often sorted through wheelie bins in front of her residence and neighbouring properties in order to remove recycling from general waste bins. The police have urged anyone who knew of Trotter's movement between March 27 and midday March 28 or her recycling habits to come forward and provide more information.

Australian authorities comb through garbage dump for missing teacher's body

Paris, the city of romance, is turning into a garbage dump as tonnes of stinking garbage continue to pile up on the city's sidewalks as sanitation workers continue their strike for the ninth day on Tuesday.

The increasing amount of garbage has become a clear sign of the widespread anger among workers over a bill to increase the French retirement age by two years.

The bins are overflowing and the food rotting in some of the rubbish bags is making the city stink. Till Tuesday, more than 7,000 tonnes of garbage was piling up on the roads of the city.

"It's dirty, it attracts rats and cockroaches," complained one Parisian on French radio. The workers have been on a strike over the proposal of the Emmanuel Macron government to increase the pension age from 62 to 64.

Apart from Paris, cities like Rennes, Le Havre and Nantes, Rennes have also been affected by the strike. The pension strikes were joined by the refuse collectors a week ago and the authorities of Paris said that half of the districts of the city, which fall under the council workers, have been badly hit by the action.

The strikers have blocked three waste treatment sites and a fourth remains partially closed. Paris council stated that in the 10 districts, which fall under private companies, the services have been running normally.

However, according to a few reports, the activists have been trying to prevent garbage collection in those areas. “It’s a bit too much because it was even hard to navigate” some streets, said Nadiia Turkay, a 24-year-old British visitor.

She further stated that it was “upsetting, to be honest,” because on “beautiful streets ... you see all the rubbish and everything. The smell.”&nbsp;

Romantic city Paris turns into a garbage dump as strikes continue

A river flowing through Balkan became a colossus gliding pile of garbage due to harsh weather, followed by prolonged mismanagement. Once known for its natural beauty, now the river looks like it has a sheet of waste over it.&nbsp;

The Drina river in Bosnia-Herzegovina flows through woodlands and mountains. But now, there is a heap of waste at the back, filled with uncountable plastic bottles, rusty barrels, used tires, and household appliances.&nbsp;

The waste, dumped in poorly regulated riverside landfills, has accumulated behind the fencing that flows downwards. The water from the river flows across three countries in the Balkans.&nbsp;

Local environmental activists complain that the barrier installed by the Bosnian hydroelectric plant, a few miles away from its dam, has turned into a trash zone.&nbsp;

&nbsp;Over the past few weeks, the area experienced obscenely hot weather and heavy showers that caused several water routes in Bosnia, Serbia, and Montenegro to flood.

Drina river has a length of 346 kilometres. It starts from northwestern Montenegro and goes through Serbia and Bosnia. It has tributaries which are emerald in colour and stunning views.&nbsp;

Environmentalists believe that cleansing cannot solve the entire issue with the Drina river. On average, it will take up to six months to clean the river. Furthermore, the local landfill in Visegrad cannot handle the waste.&nbsp;

The Balkans is way behind Europe in terms of economy and environmental protection. The country sought EU membership in the last decade and witnessed some development as it built environmentally sound and efficient waste disposal systems.&nbsp;

Unauthorised waste dumps dot the region's hills and valleys, while trash litters the roads and plastic bags cover the trees. Aside from river pollution, many Western Balkan countries face other environmental challenges. One of the most pressing issues is the extremely high level of air pollution that affects several cities.
