A clean toilet may be a given in Australia, but the reality is that almost half the world's population lives without access to a hygienic, safe toilet. But the World Toilet Summit is hoping to change all that. Health and sanitation experts from some 40 countries say everyone should have access to a hygenic toilet by 2025.

Presenter: Xioning Mo
