on their way to work shopkeepers university students and even a school bus full of children last week's huge truck bomb in the somali capital mogadishu killed at least three hundred fifty eight people and prompted a wave of revulsion local people especially the young were quick to respond they helped the wounded they dug through rubble for survivors they raise funds and they marched against armed group al-shabaab and the government many are now asking can this moment of togetherness make a real difference joining us to talk about this abdul rahman omar as man is this somali minister of information to noora is a photographer a filmmaker of de facto her son a blogger a volunteer rescue worker and mohamad ago is a senior correspondent for al jazeera english gentleman welcome it's good to have you here. i want you to give our audience some idea of what it is like to live

in mortgage issue with the fear that maybe when you go down the street when you pick up your groceries something might happen to you what is that like. well thank you very much does. your living room additional. is full of it. or of whatever you want. your back so. it's. really difficult. but where we come from it's not like it's in the food was there let me just ask the minister of information i'm going to show our audience minister a little graphic out as they are put together the mogadishu attacks in twenty seventeen here is january continue down here into january in february we had

a suicide bomb thirty nine killed in march one two incidences here we have april may june i was looking for a month maybe you a month what was quiet that was peace or i couldn't find one would go into july into all this september october the fourteenth this is the biggest attack in marketing shoes history and then that's not over yet just this weekend eleven killed after the deadliest blasts the security a mortgage issue what is it like. i mean thank you very much for having me. to the book. of somalia and also in the region on the whole war what we describe as the nine eleven of somalia the single attack that took place nearly. a number of civilians we're talking about over six hundred people. died we are still mourning.

so many people have shown their resilience that they can together that unity in defiance of the terrorists and their actions so we believe these even though we are still mourning and we lost. a number of civilian it is what we are coming together to terms where we are saying enough is enough and should be defeated in some area when it comes to figures that you show you has. returned to the task in this way of winning the military war as soon as it was there that's why you have seen and what all types but when you look at the graph from doing up to now it was less. change in the fact is we have managed to secure them and that's why this was and this brazen from terrorist groups who showed me that they are still relevant. in somalia somehow they were caught in the lot of contacts people were furious after the

fourteenth street one of title. well most of the people on the streets actually unget it with a ball for cutting off such a breeze and they light thoughts hakan targeting one of the busiest junctions of mogadishu on all school shooting rock. the more color thing the group could have done but then the wall people who was one of the government's ability to protect the people in mogadishu saying look only the government. troops there more than twenty thousand of union peacekeepers in the country and they've been there for more than two years why is that. box whole all. compete all. is taking place in the cup with all more than six

of the groups life of more. people to do the government's ability to look like i want our audience to share and to see what it was like thinking surrounding five has hit the streets have allowed. the council protest aside to accept it as a blast site there was cut by somali police and if you can you please keep this for the college press sourcing the police to shift and to disperse the goldfish bowl mourning period is over i'm as good as a mother dishes say they come out ask the difficult questions they say that i'm going out the house will they believe kind of talk also by government for what they call a failure to protect them. well to let me bring you into the conversation we've had a lot of comments online about what's happening in somalia mogadishu right now and the mood so bright boss here says the attack hasn't changed the mood of somalis but made civilians unite and fight against their country enemy we share one more with

you this is a key somalis should move forward by coming together and say enough is enough and somali youth who bear the brunt of attacks should lead the way are you seeing somali youth leading the way to. actually i believe that you will see this time they said that they are they can do something they are capable of doing something one of the examples is the gloom of the current team which is a global while interest from different backgrounds of volunteers universities that therefore are. they came up to team up together to actually are to rescue the people and i've been a member of the those volunteers are we team up and then we try to and we organize ourselves and we assign our you told us to do different tasks so i was a member on the social media department which is. the department is

a responsible of bringing their formation going to the field going to the hospitals and. like we need then to try to gather information of the casualties the missing people and trying to get the information of the. like we are we've made as a gunman government the current team we made an online database that actually people could submit the missing people and then it will help us identify. the missing people and then link up with them would like the families and their loved ones so it's this huge thing was the government it's not the give us the credit for or do understand cause right we don't have our emergency center that actually can deal was such tragedies until today so as the volunteers as a you will we we came up with this idea before we didn't feel that we actually have

. we are like we used to actually that we're not. being like in gaining and knowledge than the one that we're actually ok and you want to show these pictures because you were talking about the volunteers and you were talking about organizing the social media i'm just going to look for some of these that you can help us explain what's going on here because these are the young people you said mobilized pretty much you didn't like. yes yes the other as you can see there you are here there are they came r r r r around two hundred volunteers they went to the the bombers site and they started helping the security forces and clean up and then and a whisky and so there's pretty much what we actually succeed to do and we hope that actually the government give us more are like responsibilities on an intel cause

engaged in decision making how many of us knew how do you seen the use organizing in this way before. i would say family these were one of the most of the things that involve. mourning the youth coming out in large numbers war was who paid all in the country during the years of the ability of both who came from the front countries in the world coming to give up on the help of their people but only in helping in the best you. can offer offices but also involved must know emergency operations center set up by the government where they've been there what i think the relatives of the victims of the bombing i must say could it before goes to the government allow them. the space with which to cut out that before how many so you're about to say something. absolutely we cannot

stand you know while the young people are some one hundred keep their leadership in coming together and organize the dems had a lot of gravity. and been the victims and that's why the government is giving also those who are too lazy and they spaced well going to really do. what they believe is and they didn't then look like as if someone is in their eyes but someone is inside and outside the country where we are seen and if you know about the largest demonstration throughout somalia and some countries in the where people are saying enough is enough and now it's time to move on so even the senate reading that they really need for themselves and primarily because and now they're going to what it's going to put it about you that we were done an amazing job with them to become the center for all future shock to management so we kind of sense you know i'm too fat to uni saying that will so tack changing the way. organizing and their

voices are being. yes definitely because in previous incidents we never have plenty of coming up together and something in and support and this is the first time we're seeing you know young volunteers coming to the community how the belong to them all doing all this amazing work it's what's actually keeping us method but i will ask one question to the minister. the next in the movie with them. to get them to fill in for these and themselves then something about what what's the government of the citizens because we cannot wait again and it's up to the help and you know if that at all is that he's an approach that because we're not just the better he's. always going to be the next. yes. i'm going to take that was what i asked you to very fast question you didn't

actually answer i asked you about the security and after the fact is asking again about security how do you protect your people. learning lessons from what happened someone once. said of someone. but i haven't said these. kind of. at this hour about where he's. kind of these that just happened to come forth. in order to give them a space where they come from. and they're not so we're doing everything you know i'll remember. for months. and year out of this crisis but we can't get out. of that out of.

how to get it. you know and there's a lot of. very good. form. and other countries. so now they're receiving medical treatment. but we tried to do more in terms of showing up front about. go ahead at the fact that. you were mcinnis in the midst of or for your answer i think i was saying i mean i we know that there have been a few of government it's not yet i. wouldn't put it in such a crisis but while in the government is on the focusing on of them with the coal interest in the compass of the us the further states that are that have been on

them so she's not focusing on the security that's the very involved in companies that you know wants to be more plugged now and i'm in a little i'm sort of still driven i know that people out of still asking questions you know we've a lot of women still wondering what's going on if that was the biggest of what happened then what will be the next one i mean you know august was of course that is about no the government's new wealth but why do this you can with this number one it's not the number one priority for the for the time before our government. not. very well that's number one priority i mean people sometimes the president for monday when he. won six of every a declared state of war in somalia saying that if we go after al shabaab sooner than we are there it's almost certain forces and as you know there's speculation for it's going to be sure whether it has flown well we have to keep big leap of that next week many fitzroy a number of not so definitely not a bowler security is number one and my comment on your website on your twitter

profile you posted an al-jazeera video about remembering the people who died on october fourteenth and can't not just to another attack but to real people i want our audience to seen some of those people who pasta way have a lot. a

similar sentiment on your twitter feed as well you talk about the over three hundred not being just a number they had names and professions some of them were helping and serving their beloved country we need a memorial wall some people who are still missing some people that you know that you haven't found yet tell us more. reason why this incident was different from others is the girl was a close friend of a close family member my best friend's sister assisted listen. that's why i

actually. loaded the picture on it all because i'm and this is not just a number you know and refuse incidents when the. information before i've been off of the victims many going to this incident is that of the casualties that one of the with the monster. and you know most of the victims if not all the best of them and civilians. we have to come together and you have to do that not just the number if you have names of the fish in the house that is i mean if it were clear that's just an essential death is that because it was one percent. and looked still missing here are you still looking for. there are a lot of people actually are missing and i feel that i'm connected to everyone that is missing because. usually apart from being a member of the volunteer with korean team actually i have

a you tube channel and i shall cast the positive side of the mali other beautiful side of somalia including they are ordered to come back to the country and build the country and come here and live here in somalia and promote in that someone is peaceful but when this thing happened this tragedy happened i felt all my followers and they're asking me like matar what what's going to be next so this happens all are you sure somalia is a safe place to be so i felt like our african affairs so. angry because our. people to come back home that actually is just going right in the sky child like that so yes so we felt like we feel like we would be in but not yet look to do you feel safe you return type. into account teen

pretending right now do you feel safe right now. actually i do my routine nothing nothing changed before but. i'm still worried and too worried because this person could be me those people could i could be one of them because i was lucky because i was going to the place but i got delayed for twenty minutes brought not you guys could be showing my photo on i just remember the moment a little while i think the devastation that that twenty minutes difference that could have been years. live yes. yes yes yes. you can understand if i understand source one of the one of my friends actually there is a doctor. i met him like last month and we had a good time actually he was telling me about how talking about how they actually like to feel so happy to be a doctor. in and you've got

a lot graduated from brother university and he was telling me about our blood donation products that he actually won support for the government because they don't have a blood bank so i was shocked because i saw his father in the database and missing one of the missing people and i feel so bad because we're still looking for him among the hundreds of many people actually that are missing. and you can understand the. minister of so many questions about the safety the security of somalis online this is a suggestion here it's time to start issuing id cards from mogadishu residents start an id check on the streets arrest and deport everyone with no i.d. card you have been trying to be reassuring about security and safety is this perhaps one approach is to be really strict about who goes where

id checks their ready check points but they didn't work on october fourteenth. not really don't want to be. oppressed people we want people as if you understand time so money went on example. to spread to the human rights and dignity of advancement never the less when you have the terrorist methods in the society there are so many of them sort of. that. number one military defeat and number two to try to reconstruct. all of their weapon is going to someone. or fourteen from your approach. yes everything i have turned you happen out of the people coming out. of these you know. and surviving are a lot smaller and we have

a number of young volunteers ready to join the military and their whole community are coming together so really we. have no place to hide and in walked upright is going to. end this war with the support of all our international partners. beginning where people are coming together for unity my habits what's trying to. consent. the here and before. the puzzle this would be. is as a brilliant idea so. multitudes of people who've been asking the government to be with the place and sure about. the number before you.

could begin a government that before the. cutting all the the. gold if you ride the bike and people yes. you know under the table without the government knowledge and this is contributing to the book a good thing and. let me show you a little bit of what's been happening online as we have been live on you tube and that's one of the comments there are many that try to stop the progress of somalis and also be an effective method to help the development of somalis which also includes those an ethiopian djibouti kenya and or so south sudan so i want to leave you with the hope that we've been seeing online and that's why i'm up to a huge page he paid he paints pictures and also shares videos of a somali that we rarely get to say this is desirable each have

baghdad has said that they're willing to do that but of course there are lot of issues at stake here so i think that is going to be one of the main issues they will be discussing and the second one are those shia militia the national shabby we had remarks by the secretary of state saying that he believed they needed to either go home or be amalgamated under the banner of the iraqi army now that is something that there's already been backlash to the iraqis saying that this would be getting involved internal affairs in the iranian foreign minister also saying that basically the iranian president has stopped eisel from coming to baghdad damascus and here in erbil so not on the table i think the fact that the secretary of state is visiting with mr abadi the prime minister for the second time in two days just goes to show that they have a very important and challenging things to discuss well earlier to listen made an unannounced visit to afghanistan medicine meeting the president musharraf's gunning and chief executive of the background they are based tell us and says the u.s.

is committed to keeping its presence in the country until it's more stable. the president made it clear that we're we're here to stay until we can secure a process of reconciliation and peace it's not an unlimited commitment he's also made it clear it's not a blank check commitment that's why it is a conditions based commitment but i think if if you consider the current situation in afghanistan and we were talking about this a few minutes ago and you look a few years in the past what circumstances were afghanistan and his government quite a distance already in terms of creating a much more vibrant. population much more vibrant government. isis been accused of carrying out a massacre in the syrian tunnel. and eyewitnesses say the armed group conducted a revenge campaign in the time killing at least one hundred twenty eight people before it's captured by government forces syrian observatory for human rights says the killings in central holmes took place over

stories stay with al-jazeera next stop is death by design which investigates how even the smallest devices can have deadly environmental and health costs we'll see a bit later. i'm attached to my phone my computer my tablet. and it amazes me how in just twenty years they've completely changed the way i live and communicate . our devices are sleek and elegant.

we store our lives in a beautiful cloud. and i started making this film to explore the impact of our digital revolution. and then secrets the industry tried to hide for years began to spill out. our electronics are made and unmade is dirty and dangerous. it's a global story of damaged lives environmental destruction and devices that are designed to die.

in china massa. industrialization have put a huge pressure on our ecosystem and on the environment. when it comes to i.t. industry many people think it's it's it's grainy or natural it's raining or some people think it's even think it's virtual. but in our investigation we find it's not like that.

this pollution is having different consequences but i think that the top impact the biggest impact is on public health we have nearly three hundred million rural residents who don't have access to sufficient safe drinking water. want to see one they almost see the have a shiny new economy but not. the kind that your show is you know i'm just trying. to over think it's wrong but rather. to just it's is

a hold up you hold on is it and i don't wish either but. i keep thinking about the moment when i face all those environmental and social damage. river you know which carries all the ways to lake beside the river and this old ladies suddenly found done on their knees in front of me. was like. i don't have any sort of government administrative power and don't have much financial resources to do with this but i told myself at that moment in front of those ladies i told myself that. at least i need to bring the message out. i need to make sure that all the users of all those gadgets they need to be

informed about this. i moved to this area in one nine hundred sixty nine to go to law school because i said i wanted to help people who didn't have the means to represent themselves. it was a time when most people not heard of the semiconductor industry. but within a few years people started seeing the the birth of what has become the you know global electronics industry. the. top names were companies hewlett packard apple intel vance micro devices. the virtually the who's who of the electronics industry. and of course the granddaddy

of them all was i.b.m. . when i got a card and i.b.m. that was great that was the company to work for at the time i could go any place where he worked at i.b.m. and i don't need an id you just write a check it was that easy i.b.m. had that much clowne. i was the first microprocessor buyer for i.b.m. . in the early eighty's the idea of a personal computer which was was on oxymoron right i mean personal computer what end it what would you use it for anyway but it got legs and we started the p.c. business the first year they shipped fifty thousand units. and so we went from five thousand a week to forty thousand a week and at that point the p.c. was launched. from almost the very beginning you heard electronics and semiconductor production was a clean industry they said it was as clean as

a hospital but what they weren't telling people was that it was really a chemical handling industry and that the magic of making these microcircuits relied on the use of hundreds if not thousands of very toxic chemicals and that's why they have clean rooms that's why they have bunny suits to try to protect the chips it was never designed to protect the workers it was always designed to protect the product itself oh my god there was a a lot of different chemicals they built the disk drives would have to strip them out and then would literally have to dip him in fear of gases and with spiders you just with arm with severe to have you know what it was is i just knew it stunk really bad and you couldn't get it on your skin because it would burn you like nobody's business what what happened was people started getting sick with very strange kinds of illnesses things that didn't seem to make

a lot of sense and didn't seem to hang together but increasingly as this happened more and more there was a small group of people that began to think that maybe this was related to the chemical exposure on the job. one put music on yeah right you want to turn on the music from. but some good music on today. right there. beside me there's a thing of. the. one nine hundred seventy five i was eighteen years old and i started working in the electronics field i went to spectra physics and they just hired me just like. i was making the end of the laser and i would have to mix up this chemical in i used to call it green go. and get the consistency and then put into

a spray gun and i would have to heat that up after a glued on together that was just all day that i did at that event you know the material she was using turns out to be probably in the vicinity of fifty percent little excite she didn't know she was exposed to lead in to with it i got pregnant with mark in one thousand seventy nine and that was full term my months and we're just really happy about it. that he doesn't even know to cross the street and not know a car is coming to stop going to the restroom you know i have to go with him in there so i have to system with everything. number one more you better know. if i knew what i know now how to read out a spec or physics at the time it was unnecessary it just. breaks my heart

that i could avoid it. oh we're filing this lawsuit against your employer and it's a lawsuit for his son who was born with severe developmental disabilities and is a suit concealment of system of chemical poisoning in case of a bet and for the direct injuries to mark. marks condition isn't like a cold take antibiotics and you're going to be fine and by a days this is life. your love just overrides all that and you do what you got to do to this day i still do that i'm sorry getting. i discovered i.b.m. had a corporate mortality. which they kept for thirty years and it kept track of the causes

of deaths of their lloyd's the most dramatic findings were about cancer for the company as a whole this was thirty three thousand deaths that were in this corporate mortality file so included people who had worked all over the u.s. . but then when you look at specific plants like the i.b.m. plant in san jose there was some extraordinary access cause of death one was brain cancer another was not hodgkinson foma another was melanoma of the skin and in the women breast cancer was three and four fold higher than expected. that was the heart of this center was a loss of. innocent a clear a courtroom today the first trial out of more than two hundred similar lawsuits filed against i.b.m. former i.b.m. workers jim bore and a lighter hernandez say they developed cancer from exposure to toxic chemicals at i.b.m. san jose facility in the late seventy's or early ninety's i mean literally tried to prevent the results of the tally analysis from ever seeing the light of day in fact

they went to the judge and said this can't be used in this case a lot of hernandez's not dead she's going to be in the courtroom and not only was it not relevant the judge said it might prejudice the jury if they saw what these excess costs were and so he denied use of it in the court many of the brands will respond to questions by saying no one has ever proved to me that a single person has died from exposure to these chemicals either within inside their factories or outside of the factories and of discussion. but that's not the way that we approach environmental or occupational health in the world we are not flying blind here at all especially on the chemicals at issue here in the electronics industry actually and most of the common chemical used in all industrial manufacturing we've been at this work for forty years.

if you look at the publicising generated by i.b.m. you would think that we lost everything and that's simply not correct. after the trial i.b.m. matters were resolved for hundreds of people whose claims did not go to trial. what can you tell us about the settlements. i'm not going to be able to talk about any of the resolutions of the cases and. can you give any details at all did you have to agree not to reveal the details as part of the settlement all i can say is that the matters were resolved that's what i'm allowed to say.

here and silicon valley chip companies in the other electronics production companies used hundreds if not thousands of toxic chemicals and the most of the chemicals once they're used in making the components needed to be disposed of as waste the companies ended up storing them in underground storage tanks all over the valley. but what the brilliant people who are designing these systems didn't quite think through all the way was that the solvent swer really good it dissolved ing things and so when you put them into a tank eventually they're going to eat their way through the tank. solvents that the electronics industry used in production in silicon valley in the seventy's and eighty's are now on in the groundwater and if you think about putting a drop of ink in a bathtub. that spreads really quickly and it's really hard to get that dropping

back that's what we're dealing with except we're dealing with multiples of gallons of the stuff that is in the groundwater. in late one thousand nine hundred one there were over one hundred families in one little neighborhood who had serious problems and the state health department discovered that the families that were drinking the most heavily contaminated water had significantly higher rates of miscarriages and birth defects then did people in other neighborhoods in the chemical industry will often say if i had not a dime for every time i heard this that even water can kill you the most non toxic thing of course it can but only if you stick your face down in the bathtub or fall into you know fall into a large body of water. so that has the traditional approach to toxicology is that the more stuff you're exposed to the more harm it causes you but what we're seeing in particularly around cancer and around hormone disrupting chemicals is that it's

when you're exposed to it the time of exposure so if you're in third trimester and you get even a perp or billion or part for truly an exposure it can actually cause significant damage. we formed this silicon valley tuxes coalition and we did a summer organizing project getting people to sign petitions asking the e.p.a. step in with their authority into the superfund program yes. yes. yes. and i went to a meeting in washington and presented these thousands of petitions saying we need e.p.a. to come in it's time for e.p.a. to exercise your authority and to everybody's great surprise they agreed to do that . so hewlett packard became a superfund site until became a superfund site national semiconductor advanced micro devices i.b.m.

you name it they were there and they were all superfund sites and. the cost of cleanup for i.b.m. as well as all the other companies has been tremendous it's an enormously slow and tedious process. if you look right over here also this is a major residential neighborhood just directly across the street from this industrial site and most of the people living here today are unaware of this huge toxic plume. and those same chemicals that are still right under where we're standing are now beginning to seep back up out of the groundwater through the soil and they're actually coming into the offices of these software engineers a google. and this is the one that e.p.a. said might take three hundred years to clean up. this is so complicated the

devastation is so enormous that we're really talking centuries of cleanup not just years or decades. the problem is that it just keeps reoccur. when companies started moving away from silicon valley to china i think that they've been only too happy to have the government off their backs. the chinese government made an offer to multinational corporations that they couldn't refuse. in the land and you need money and you need government approval and you need lots of people to put it all together well they have all of that in china. to get here and be in the center. which is just.

one of the primary purposes of outsourcing is to enable companies like apple to make what are essentially an reasonable demands on manufacturers that they wouldn't and couldn't make if they actually had to employ the workers directly apple doesn't have to worry about what it means to workers when they insist on a tripling of the pace of i phone production. to go to the green sounds of the loop to. come in the new. ball. anyway focused on this is you. know. how you

about he says there were any about popular mobilization forces which have helped baghdad defeat eisel consists only of iraq ina. i think i have differences can be addressed and the rights of all can be respected here iraq will have a very secure in a proper future we have a an opportunity to shine an important event in saudi arabia the creation of a coronation council we think this is an important milestone in restoring the relationship between iraq and the gulf the g.c.c. countries and charlie arabia is going to lead to very important economic development in iraq as well. isis been accused of carrying out a massacre in the syrian town of al carey attained witnesses say the armed group conducted a revenge campaign in the time killing at least one hundred twenty eight people before its capture by government forces the syrian observatory for human rights says the killings in central holmes to place over

a three week period nicely accuse the civilians of collaborating with the syrian government forces international dollars since geneva have pledged to total of three hundred thirty five million dollars to help the ranger refugee crisis but that's still short of the un's appeal for four hundred thirty four million dollars says the money is needed to provide lifesaving aid to the one point two million range of refugees who fled violence in myanmar for bangladesh or the six hundred thousand of course the border in the last two months alone. in south africa the sentencing of two white farmers who forced a black man into a coffin has been delayed until friday was auspex were found guilty of attempted murder in august for trying to burn victim a lot sure live spain's deputy prime minister says capt lumley defied his freedom or could be out of a job as soon as this weekend comes after mr putin more more is invited to the national parliament for talks on thursday amid threats from madrid strip catalonia

as autonomy tensions have been high ever since catalonia secession referendum on october the first so with us here on al-jazeera death by design continues we'll have full news hour at the top of the hour see later. you know my father who doesn't work for the companies in the photo system is as you see it youngest of us who do it has died and fifteen others were injured after an explosion at a foxconn factory in chengdu south with china the eight hundred two some open on cuba you know just how you hold a day or two that occurred at around seven p.m. in a polishing workshop that appears to have been triggered by an explosion of combustible dust in a duct. no one to be surprised that aluminum dust if it's in a high enough concentration and there is an ignition source it will produce explosion and fire this is

a hazard which is extremely well known. so the fact that apple suppliers have an explosion in chengdu in the plant means that they had very poor housekeeping very poor production processes that's terrible. what's completely unacceptable is that five months later at another plant that within the apple supply chain they had another explosion and fire. as outrageously inexcusable that they had a second one five months later. they set up the supply chains exactly the way they want them they monitor these private chains with exacting scrutiny so they know exactly what's going into their products at every point along the way.

we've all i think said of the guns. and. so i have an i phone five here and i'm a show you a little bit about what's inside what makes a tech and some of the design choices that apple made putting it together to the first thing up or has on the bottom is too proprietary penta loeb screws this is a security scare the apple designed to keep people out of the phone once you get the phone open we can start to see the guts this isn't really a phone it's pretty much a full blown computer to make your phone last for eight hours or you need a really big battery. batteries and phones last about four hundred charges every

cell phone i've ever had just popped the back off you can pull the battery out swap a new battery and every year or two you have to replace the battery apple has decided with the i pod and now the i phone that they don't like that model so what they are doing is building the batteries in the phone and using proprietary screws on their in the temp to limit the lifespan of the phone to about eighteen months which is around the time when they have a new phone and they want you to buy a new one anyway. i think says a company that wants to see everything get fixed so we show people how to fix things and provide the parts tools and guides to enable them to do so helping everyone fix everything so that's the challenge it's a big challenge because there's millions of devices out there and luke and i are reluctant capitalists we get excited selling screwdrivers even though that seems like a boring product because we're selling people a capability with able to do something that they wouldn't have otherwise we want to make it simple and easy for me to repair their own stuff. the amount of raw

materials that go on the products that we use are staggering to over five hundred pounds around material go into making a down south. so here's an example of a circuit board in this you waste bin this is out of apple laptop from a few years ago even if you make this circuit board in the most environmentally friendly way it's still going to use a ton of water a ton of money probably literally a ton of water lots and lots of materials. books when we know of or most of you know. nothing is different. yet. electronics industry is close in ways that through this the american manufacturers are. they're selling a thing and they're saying well you have it but you don't really on then. there's no way we're ever going to sell you a screwdriver the bill again the front ford would never sell you

a car and say we're not going to make tires available to it to keep your car running after thirty thousand miles you have an entire ecosystem and entire industry that's built on secrecy and we're one organization that's trying to pry open the hood a little bit show people what's inside. and we've kind of been conditioned by manufacturers and brands to leave yourself on the outside don't worry about the details we make this product we give it to you and you just use this product yeah and when it stops working you go buy a new one. when we originally started i fix it it was just a way to provide people with some solution to fix broken devices. and over time we've realized both the manufacturing and the environmental problems are all huge concern.

over the last few years i've been to china on a regular basis and a lot of that related to our tool manufacturing. we're looking at getting some circuit boards manufactured. this is the big rechargeable battery and this is the main circuit board in here so considering it's just a flashlight you can see it's a surprisingly complex circuit board and i've got these basic schematic for this sort of board once we did it and we'll leave him with the data team and has been. finding this supplier that is environmentally friendly has good quality and has reasonable pricing all three of those at once is probably going to be a challenge. for

some action photos like. visiting factories we've found that it's surprisingly effective to show up on short notice. in general any factory of it's not willing to let you see the factory is an immediate red flag at least for someone that we don't want to do business with. this is the. big line from the factory said this is weather edging it bringing all these nasty acids and other chemicals and. you've got a little bit of acid believe here you can see acid on the outside in the machine. i walked over to where there were some storage tanks and it was basically asset all

over the floor and the moment i looked over that they told me no get back away from here and this isn't giving me a good feeling. as far as making sure everything's done correctly environmentally it doesn't seem like that's a priority for them. and they got them out whoever. it is the fact that it was so dear to you is the price you have to pay for the last thirty years of development you. don't want to buy from them. what you thought was the time to someone. that i hope i think when you know that incentives on the internet. not just by you are down.

to the truth of what. you saw but soccer climate. solutions will be short so i say no she mustn't at the time to buy them just. as what the idea what that's like the model of model hope we're. not going to go we're going. to do a lot of the document template on so that it. doesn't you know but you know when you see you tony. there's a. woman that went through a sudden and so when we should. do it at such a high profit. why us from getting better but what do you think you. do you see. constantly changing.

among all those. he has. spent a lot of time traveling. and we seem to have. this is definitely the most professional of the factories visited. the fact that we're being taken through this water treatment facility is a really promising sign. you start out with incredibly yucky water and it goes through a progressive series of filters and other processes and eventually you end up with hopefully acceptably clean water. the coolest thing when the water is coming through the treatment facility some of the water comes out and dumps into this

fountain and they have fish in here in the factory and i said well i know the water treatment is working ok as long as the fish are still alive a little unfortunate for the fish because if something breaks maybe the fish die but it's clear to me that this would definitely be the factory to buy from up the one we visited. from the institute of public and environmental affairs module. thank you ladies and gentlemen i'm truly honored and humbled to be the first chinese citizen to receive the school award thank you i set up this institute of public in your barn many affairs. and our first project is

to. a national water pollution database. though this records comes from the government sources the public can access the information by click on the locations on the map because people want to know you know who should be held responsible for such a bad what a pollution situation and so far we got some more than one hundred and ten thousand records of violations in our database. april two thousand and ten we filed letters to twenty nine my team friends who checked with them whether those polluting factories whether they are their suppliers. all of them responded except the one that is an apple.

apple just give us one statement that is we have a long term policy not to disclose our supply chain or. not to. my june contacted me and we began to work together to apply additional pressure to a company with headquarters here in the united states might join singled out a number of facilities that he believed were in apple's flagship that it had a very heavy environmental impact in their locality and when he level of those charges apple was shocked and is sort of in denial that this type of problem to this extent could really exist in their supply chain. i think it's important to understand that this is not just about apple you know this

is about the id industry. they all share printed circuit board manufacturers they all share chip manufacturer is you know despite their audit protocols there is a lot more talk than walk on environmental impacts in the supply chain. you say to yourself how could they not know about any of these problems but you know it's it's always you ask and it's all you look for so if you are there and you have a checklist of what you mean you need it now and that checklist does not include what's going on at the end of the pipe of your wastewater treatment plant it's actually conceivable that you know exactly where it's being made you just don't know exactly how it's being made and what the impact is. that's what's going on not just with apple but with all of these companies. forty years of operating the environmental protection agency in this country these are american based companies

hard to believe. we still have this industry which is discharging so much waste not just normal waste a hazardous waste. in just one supplier it generates more than one hundred thousand tons of hazardous waste in one year. how could we dispose stuff you know in a safe way so how much a time bomb this industry is gonna create. in electronics at this moment in time i believe we're in the dinosaur age. we're using too many resources too many raw materials and the life of a computer is

a typically three to four years. risk mall company in our hand and a mission is to choose fair trade computer. in the early days i repaired this component levels on the computers and one imports . from the i noticed that there was huge amount of waste in the computer industry. so we started designing and building a database of raven reuse with computers. this is my father's environmental drill on the christie just you know. how can you build a computer would have to ask how could you build a computer without lead mercury p.v.c.'s brominated flame returns and all the other

heavy metals. that was our gold the material we use is wood so it's it's technology of one hundred years ago but it's perfectly good. computers will last seven to ten years because home users non-technical people can repair and replace i'm never place in the memory you can extend the life of upgradeability. today is that these are major launch in europe. we've lots of invites sent out to people. we were awarded the world's first year piece. for integrated

desktop computers it was the world's first ever achieve this award at that time i thought wow then the gates will open with orders so flooded and first that was not the case maybe a little bit of naive essay on my part. it's hard out there like government agencies some people like that there is no room for environmental they are totally just bottom line. i'm looking at it now it's one little step at a time the what we need to do is work harder build more computers and get people to join us. americans toss out a lot of gadgets every day. if we look at the three million or so tons of electronic waste that gets generated in united states every year probably fifteen percent of that gets recycled. and some percent of that

gets recycled in a responsible fashion. to . give an idea to the wind. or.

characters who are in. need or many. of those with the. sun the feet hunting. how quickly the highs it. should almost as you should. question was a the wise of pete. so nice wishes will chan tommy. to a program so the decimal sapiens out how you. so happy that he goes he'll hire into .

those. new cones she need. heisley use a male voice here that. we think ok we'll send our you ways to china let them burn it let them have the pollution but we have to remember that air pollution travels around the globe that pollution is getting lost into the atmosphere and coming right back to us. metals and metals and metal you know and it's there's no other form for it to convert to you can convert it from being in the soil to being in the water to being in the air but you still have a metal. in our work we fly through clouds and we sample the cloud droplets and we measure the chemistry of each one very fast as you're flying through

a cloud. there flashing as fast as you can imagine on a screen and we collect all that information and what we get is what's a chemical fingerprint. in california with getting rid of lead in gasoline we've reduced the amount of lead we have and so when lead shows up that is one of the tracers that we say this could be from elsewhere and we can trace it back in time and say you know four days ago this air was over asia. and you have more pollution and you have more aerosols those go into the cloud and so you have so many things they can't get big enough to fall and lead to rain. and it's giving you these extremes of either not enough water in some places and way too much water in other places. what happens if we push it too far. we'll start to see more of these extreme events things like

flooding and hurricanes. these are what people often refer to as tipping points and not so that's what we're very concerned about happening. my attachment to my devices is more complicated now. it's hard to get excited about the next new model or upgrade knowing what they really cost to make. the industry in it's constant search for cheaper workers and land is moving on to new countries with few government safeguards or inspections. we all have a share in this problem. but we can use our voices and our buying power to demand real labor safety and greater environmental protections. the digital revolution has

improved our lives in so many ways. we need to make sure it doesn't rob us of our health and our planet. hello there is mostly dry for us in australia at the moment some of us there are likely to see just one or two showers you can see this area of cloud in the southeast that's bringing us a little bit of what weather there to adelaide and a couple more showers are likely on choose say they were going gradually drift their way towards melbourne late told during the day and so wednesday we're likely

to see a fair few more showers here as well as when you get some showers that will also be dragging down the temperatures so from melbourne get any higher than around seventeen on wednesday where we don't mild and not forcing brisbane and here the shower should clear for us for wednesday should be a brighter day twenty seven. but western australia wednesday so if you like quite a quiet day with twenty degrees in perth now over towards new zealand the weather here is far more active this system here is given to some very very heavy rain but it is now trying to clear away so for the north island should be look calm as we head through the day on choose day more wins for the southwestern parts knows where we're bringing in a little bit more cloud a little bit more in the way of unsettled weather there as we head through wednesday further towards the north and of course we've had all storm that worked its way across japan that's now cleared and things are looking a lot quieter here we're seeing a fair amount of cloud there that will pop up as we head into wednesday so tokyo is likely to see some more outbreaks of or all the heavy rain. with.

sunday to listen called for the iranian backed militias to be sent home but all a body has defended their will saying they helped to defeat i still captured cook and are now part of iraq institutions from a new hope for the whole region article he explains. despite the fact that he left at the crack of dawn the u.s. secretary of state seemed quite excited from his perch at the front of the c. seventeen a quick and rapid descent and he landed at bagram airfield there to meet the leaders of afghanistan a short visit just about an hour and fifteen minutes and he told the traveling press he was confident in the trump administration's plan for afghanistan over the long term clearly we have to continue the fight against the taliban and against others in order for them to understand they will never win a military victory and there are we believe moderate voices among the taleban voices that do not want to continue to fight forever they don't want their children

to fight forever so we are looking to engage with those voices and have them a gauge in a reconciliation process leading to peace process and therefore involvement in participation in the government. but this would not be his only trip to a country grappling with conflict in one day traveling to afghanistan and then in the evening iraq i think all differences can be addressed and the rights of all can be respected and their awful have a very secure and across their future we had a an opportunity to share an important event in saudi arabia the creation of a coronation council we think this is an important milestone in restoring relationships between iraq and the go the g.c.c. countries and saudi arabia is going to lead to very important economic development in iraq as well one day more than three thousand kilometers all to send a message to the people here in the region and back home that america is committed

to staying in the fight both of them. and i get more from al-jazeera as a gay bella's on deal in new york hi there gabe so what's to listen hoping then to gain from this trip. well i think it's really two things you have to look at it from a micro and a macro level i think of them micro level in afghanistan he was really there to show support by the u.s. government to the peace and reconciliation process there even suggesting as you just heard from that story from patty call hain that. that the taliban leaders could play a role in a future afghan government or in the current government as it be if they were to re now it's violence and terrorism so i think that was key but beyond that in iraq the fact that he went there or the fact that he met with the leaders there twice in as many days indicates how important iraq is to the u.s. government particularly to say the secretary of state right now of course we know

that the government has had great success in recent months taking strongholds away from eisel in recent times but now it comes to what happens now and now iraq as you pointed out is really this territorial dispute with the kurds and the kurds have lost about twelve thousand kilometers of territory in recent days or weeks and this is really troubling to the u.s. and it's really in a sense tillerson they're trying to work this out between all sides to get some sort of dialogue going because it could threaten the u.s. fight against terrorist organizations in the region that's the micro but on the macro level i think what tillerson is trying to get out of this is very clear and that's to curtail the iranian influence in the region particularly the shia militias that are backed by iran this is very troublesome to the u.s.

and it really points directly to president trump's policies in the region which are starting to come into focus on really trying to crack down on iran's influence in that region how is that then being perceived stateside. well i think it's to ways within official washington as you will the policymakers and diplomats in washington that follow this closely i think they're really seeing this is again one more step by tillerson of trying to sharpen the focus on president trump's. stance in the region and that really boils down to again he ran there's a whole host of issues that are very complicated whether be in the gulf right now with the g.c.c. crisis afghanistan or iraq but it all comes down in all circles back to iran at least with the u.s. policy and as so i think that's how a lot of people are viewing this trip but rather it regular americans on the streets you would ask them what their major security concern is right now and they

would probably point to north korea given the increased war rhetoric in recent weeks with north korea so i think tillerson going back to the middle east region and to iraq afghanistan the gulf i think it's really trying in some ways to refocus the attention of america as a whole on a region that is still incredibly important to the u.s. even given that the focus also being on north korea as well right now is on their joining me live from new york he gave thanks he will this cost washington d.c. announcement omar so much is the c.e.o. of silkwood consulting and was a senior advisor to the chief executive officer of gamma sun and all my very warm welcome to the program thanks for your company first of all what's your take on tellus ins iraq comments. well i think that the u.s. administration is using diplomatic political tools after

a lot of rhetoric on war and military operations in action that has been taken in as we see the end of i sell as we have known it so for i think that americans are very concerned about how the geopolitical sand of the region was is going to shift and what kind of new alliance are going to emerge in the middle east and especially given the very precarious situation they exist in iraq given the kurdish situation given the fact that. an isis is winning in probably. not actor anymore they want to make sure that iran not only is curtailed but also that it will not play a spoilers role from here on so i think that. the focus right now from the

american perspective is sorely on the iranian role that will be played in the future is the u.s. perspective omar rather over simplify and i'm just thinking about all the different nationalities that exist in all of these different goods so in that sense is this request in any way realistic. no it's part of the political mindset that exists in washington obviously the iraqi government has reacted strongly by saying that not only this is this is sovereign issue but also that the p m f is made up of iraqis men the yes there might be an iranian influence but foreign fighters have been part of this effort to fight isis and to ask the iraqis to do more would probably be very difficult for the other about the government i think at this point they feel the

pressure there is off the pressure from saudi arabia undoubtedly and from other gulf nations who believe in this kind of policy but we know that overall the tramp administration has a very particular view about the iranian role in the middle east and it remains to be seen as to how the russians are going to also react i think that the americans are going to at some point have to discuss a lot of these issues with their russian counterparts and omar we also saw to listen make a stop in afghanistan and what's the end game there. the endgame there i think the focus as we said in the middle east at this point is on iran i think that in south asia concerning afghanistan the focus of the american policy is on pakistan i think that what we saw after the trump announcement with

the policy shift that took place a couple of months ago we are seeing an attempt by american diplomats to see if pakistan is going to play a game pakistan has given mixed reactions on one hand. defended its position. afghanistan and the taliban saying that they are no safe havens on the other hand everybody knows that the safe havens do exist in pakistan and that pakistan has a lot of influence over certain taliban elements now it was interesting to hear mr jealous and to they give a message and ask the so-called more moderate taliban to come in lay down their arms and give up on violence which has been a hallmark of taliban in the past few years especially the past few weeks and months and days where we saw some major assaults in bloody clashes that took place in bloody attacks that took place in afghanistan but i think that at this point mr

tennyson in the u.s. government want to give the pakistanis a chance to maybe come up with a new formula in a new recipe and maybe a new strategy that would help everyone resolve the afghan crisis but i think that it might be a little bit of wishful thinking given the fact that the taliban and other extremist groups that are allowed them are very much focused on trying to capture more territory in afghanistan as the winter season arrives for some and they're joining me live from washington d.c. all my thank you. now isis been accused of carrying out a massacre in the syrian town of al kut a attained witnesses say the group conducted a revenge campaign killing at least one hundred twenty eight people before the times captured by government forces the syrian observatory for human rights says the killings in central holmes to place over a three week period i salute use the civilians of collaborating with the syrian

eastwards there as we head into wednesday behind it there's a bit of a break but still for the northern parts of europe there's another system is going to be bringing us some heavy rain that's working its way into parts of sweden there as we head through wednesday and into the baltic states as well and that weather system in the southeastern parts of europe is also affecting us across the other side of the mediterranean as well so you can see the winds are beginning to pick up their own choose day we're likely to see more in the way of clouds but the winter weather really pushes in as we head through the day on wednesday so the wednesday is where we see the heaviest rain over the northern parts of libya and a few showers a likely in the northern parts of egypt as well for the western parts well generally fine and dry we're looking at around twenty seven as a maximum a robot now the showers across the central parts of africa fairly subdued at the moment but want to be free ones there in south sudan. in a country beset by poverty and lack of infrastructure. sometimes we risk our own lives

criticized for allegedly being insensitive joining a phone call with an american soldier's widow why is she a johnson says donald trump appeared to have forgotten her husband's name and told her the sergeant quote knew what he'd signed up for the david johnson was one of four u.s. soldiers killed when they were on patrol in the air when it was earlier this month but the president denies mrs jones's account and says he was respectful well sergeant jones his widow has also criticized the government for not giving enough information on how her husband dies but a top u.s. general says the killed soldiers' families will get their explanation i think first and foremost in this particular case we owe the families as much information as we can find out about what happened and we owe the american people an explanation of what their men and women were doing at this particular time. when i say that i mean

men and women in harm's way anywhere in the world they should know what the mission is what we're trying to accomplish when we're there and so those are all fair questions in my judgment you know words that were out here today is to take your questions and we're going to as much information as we have the only thing i'm asking for today is a bit a bit of patience to make sure that what we provide to you when we provide it is factual well our correspondent was jordan is in washington d.c. he joins us live here there was this story just refuses to go away doesn't it. it isn't going away and it's noteworthy that general joe dunford addressed reporters late on monday afternoon to try to put an end to some of the controversy surrounding the ambush that happened in northeastern new share back on october fourth as you noted in the sound bite that you just played to our viewers general dunford told reporters that there is still

a lot of information that is still not yet known about what happened while these u.s. forces were on a joint foot patrol along with a number of new cherian of soldiers on that day and they're trying to investigate as much as they can and as quickly as they can this is of course complicated by the fact that there are only about eight hundred to a thousand u.s. forces inside the share and it was not a full full full fledged military deployment and so investigators basically have to come in from other countries and that of course with the passage of time makes it harder to gather physical evidence to find eyewitnesses and perhaps most important try to find the people responsible for the ambush which killed not just these four u.s. soldiers but also five. years as well. does this story and i'm asking you to speculate here of the state is it having him if an effect on tom's base support

. well if you separate the actual fact that four u.s. soldiers were killed while on deployment in a mission that isn't widely known but has been publicly announced in recent years by the obama administration in fact then certainly you have to separate this attack from the ongoing dispute between the president donald trump and the widow of sergeant lloyd david johnson his widow johnson certainly more people are still fixated on that back and forth here in the united states and there are a number of people who believe that the president's version of events is the correct version discounting what mrs johnson and her supporters have been saying about what happened when the president called her late last week it is something that seems to be representative of the political climate here in the united states

is that those who support the u.s. president are going to support him no matter what the controversy a controversy is and they're going to be as many people of not more people on the other side who are horrified by what they see so until there's some real polling i think it's fair to say that people are lining up pretty much where you would expect them to be lining up close to zero in their life from washington d.c. . now in south africa the sentencing if she white pharmacy forced a black man into a coffin has been delayed until friday the suspects threaten to burn victim a lot a lot of the young man who was shot into a coffin last year by crime white farmers are planning for friday when the judge made to hand down the sentencing of his mother broke in fortunately it was an aside the family had been through an ordeal the victim let's buy season one closest to me out of that promise of the maximum of thing tell us about what they did must not be

listened to the news has been going to. some people in south africa who are pearled by the video that appear on social media and the internet. it's alternately a moderator for some analysts a little and it's much more complicated. i don't think it's primarily about race i think it's primarily about the approach or farmworkers where the from us and the from my mates which has been going on in. the middle to seven through the same through the promos the courting of the wild funny how actual farmers in the community came to the court and if they feel that their team been found guilty. they say that they feel they be under treated by this as a white father and they're the ones in danger a lot of and that's not. on the african proverb and the. promise.

in march twenty ninth and there's been a long time at the prospect of the country's crashing out without a deal wins by ministers says she's still confident of reaching a mutually beneficial exit agreement. but i believe that by approaching these negotiations in a constructive way in a spirit of friendship and cooperation we can and will deliver the best possible outcome that works for all our people and that belief was shared by other european leaders mr speaker we are going to leave the european union in march two thousand and nine to. delivering on the democratic will of the british people. of course we are preparing for every eventuality to ensure we leave in a smooth and orderly way but i'm confident that we will be able to negotiate a new deep and special partnership between a sovereign united kingdom and our friends in the european union that is my mission that is this government's mission and i commend this statement today. the u.k. is making it mandatory for doctors to check patients' immigration status before

offering them free health care the new rules mean some migrants of visitors to england will be charged up front for treatment the government says it's to recover vital funds but critics say may prevent people from getting the treatment they need to be phillips explains. right they say they trade to cure diseases check immigration documents is a doctor who thinks the new rules requiring workers to make sure patients are eligible for free care are workable even if. she's based in a part of london with high immigration although most europeans and people needing emergency care or with infectious diseases don't have to pay she worries the new rules may prevent the sick from coming forward. then they become less and then they'll be.

that the government did not grant us an interview but provided this statement. it says that overseas visitors are welcome to use the n.h.s. which is paid for by british taxpayers and visitors must also make a fact contribution if we decide to spend the money on providing a national health service there's actually an international health service for the whole world and that's going to mean british citizens are going to have less to do with cancer to deal with long term conditions do without so there's always going to be a cost. but how much money will the new regulations raise the protesters and even the government projections say they'll be worth a very small percentage of the overall n.h.s. budget barnaby phillips al-jazeera. and the u.k. drivers of the most polluting vehicles when i face extra daily challenges into central london the measure will hit those with older vehicles that cause more

pollution it could be paying up to twenty seven dollars a day critics say this will disproportion proportionately penalize the poor doctors say a pair of could join twins born in the gaza strip or in a stable condition but will need treatment abroad the girls are joined at the abdomen and pelvis but have separate heads and palestinian hospitals lack the equipment and expertise required to separate them. now maybe an oscar contender but the lebanese film the insult continues says strikes as much control as critical acclaim last month as director was detained and questioned in lebanon over his decision to shoot a previous film in israel now the film's been banned from being screened at a prominent palestinian film festival sorry false it reports from ramallah. it's the last night of the palestinian days of cinema festival the biggest name arrives to a big reception palestinian actor. stars in what was to have been the festival's
