No agreement in sight as countries reject draft text of global plastic pollution treaty
It's the final day of negotiations for a global plastics treaty. Talks are in disarray after dozens of countries rejected the latest draft text yesterday. A revised draft agreement tackling plastic pollution is expected, but major sticking points remain among the 184 countries involved. Some want more ambitious measures, such as limits on plastic production and improved clean-up and recycling efforts. Others, such as oil-producing countries, are against imposing production limits. Will Denselow reports from Brussels.
