we revisit places a day even when there are no international headlines. others are really invests in that that's a privilege as a journalist. hello there i'm a star in doha with the headlines on al-jazeera china's president has been addressing the w.h.s. annual meeting defending his country's handling of the coronavirus pandemic and a video speech being also promised $2000000000.00 over 2 years to help with the cravat 1000 response he said beijing has always been transparent about the crisis and that it supports an inquiry into the pandemic once it's brought under control. china will provide $2000000000.00 over 2 years to help with the global covered $1000.00 response and to help with economic and social development in developing

countries china will also work with the un to set up a global humanitarian response to post and hub in china libya's internationally recognized government says it has retaken control of the hour to air base that site has been used as war on khalifa haftar as headquarters in western libya since 2014 now earlier this month forces from tripoli northeastern offensive to recapture that base but whatever wahid has more from the capital he says the taking of the space will change the balance of power. the takeover of. bees by the government forces is was swiftly called in partly thanks to the intensified because drones recent air strikes now the government forces say that they can now focus on defending the capital of tripoli and also move on the major stronghold all the and last a stronghold now for half the us forces and the worst of libya namely the city of

the horn about 70 kilometers to the solved a jewish settler has been found guilty of murder in a high profile arson attack that killed a palestinian toddler and his parents in 2015 the man fire bombed the home belonging to the develops a family in the village of duma they were sleeping at the time india has extended a nationwide lockdown for another 2 weeks it's over its highest daily rise on sunday with nearly $5000.00 confirmed cases that takes the total to more than $95000.00 schools the malls and other public places will remain closed elizabeth warren has more from new delhi. the big difference in the face for india's lockdowns that the government has left up to states to decide to what the green orange and red zones and decide what activities that the government has cleared will be allowed in those done so for example for the 1st time in nearly 2 months

and the lockdown began the government has said that all markets are allowed to reopen. on market in one of the capital new delhi the most well known and usually busiest of markets but most shops remain closed because they're waiting to hear what chief minister. has to say when he addresses the region and announces the details for delhi but we are seeing more shops and markets opening up elsewhere in the country the state of credit has said that all shops are allowed to open with seeing that in punjab and west bengal along the reopening and on jobs and in the other big difference is that travel between states is being allowed on buses or in private vehicles but it has to be between consenting stay for the waiting to find out what states will allow and that passenger trains have been running for the last week now but the overall lockdown has been extended for another 2 weeks so there are still no domestic or international flights or hotels restaurants shopping

malls cinema holds remain closed and that is because the number of cases of india continue to rise we had nearly at the 100000 mark now well if he has lifted more of its coronavirus lockdown restrictions and what the prime minister is calling a calculated risk for the 1st time since march people can now go to cafes restaurants and bars more shops are open and so in libraries museums and beauty salons. chinese technology giant huawei says new u.s. restrictions on chip supplies could undermine the global tech industry the smartphone maker called the decision all the treasury and pernicious and says its business will inevitably be affected while those other headlines do join me for more news here on al-jazeera after death by design stay with us.

i'm attached to my phone my computer my tablet. and it amazes me how in just 20 years they've completely changed the way i live and communicate. our devices are sleek and elegant. we store our lives in a beautiful child. landslip. 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. that it. was. our electronics are made and unmade is dirty and dangerous i love it it's a global story of damaged lives environmental destruction and devices that are designed to die. if bit. ill . luck. does.

in china mess. industrialization i've 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 green or natural it's rain 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 this public health we have nearly 300000000 who are

residents who don't have access to sufficient safe drinking water. want to see what they almost see the how to shows you how many cars in the. to come to your show you should get them to check. the over there it's on them. to just it's was a hold up you hold woman's event i guess it was shot and then the ultimate. 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 young

river and base old ladies suddenly down dung on their knees in front of me. was like. oh i don't have any sort of government administrative power and don't have much financial resources to deal 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 older users of old as gadgets they need to be informed about this. i moved to this area in 1969 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 i.b.m. i don't need an id just write a check. it was that easy i.b.m. had that much clout i was the 1st marker processor 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 1st year they shipped $50000.00 units and so we went from a 1000 a week 240008 week and at that point the p.c. was launched. from almost the very beginning you heard electronics and semiconductor production it 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 over i got those a lot of different chemicals they built the disk drives we had to strip them out and then would have to dip i'm in severe gases and with a sponge it just with armed with severe i didn't know what it was it's 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. right on turn on the music for mom. but some good music on today.

right there. but there's a thing of. the. 1975 i was 18 years old and i started working in the electronics field i went to a specter of 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. yvette you know the material she was using turns out to be probably in the vicinity of 50 percent little oxide she didn't know she was exposed to lead in tell her that

i got pregnant with mark in 1079 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 no cars coming to stop going to the restroom you know i have to go with him in there so i have to a system where everything is number one or. 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 systemic chemical poisoning and case of a vet and for the direct injuries to mark. marks condition isn't like

a cold take antibiotics and you're going to be fine in 5 days this is life. you're . just overrides all that and you do what you're going to do to the stereo still do . i'm sorry going to go. but. i discovered i.b.m. had a corporate mentality. which they kept for 30 years and it kept track of the causes of death of their employees the most dramatic findings were about cancer for the company as a whole this was $33000.00 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 excess costs of deaths one was brain

cancer the other was not hard to conceive the fall another was melanoma of the skin and in the women breast cancer was 3 and 4 fold higher than expected. that was the heart of this settles a lawsuit. in a santa clara courtroom today the 1st trial out of more than $200.00 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 to 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 was prejudiced the jury if they saw what these excess costs thus were and so he denied the 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 40 years. if you look at the pub listening generated by i.b.m. you would think that we lost everything and that's simply not going. after the trial i.b.m. matters were resolved for hundreds of people whose claims to 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 case. and i. 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 in silicon valley chip companies and 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 were designing these systems didn't quite think through all the way was that the solvent swer really good at dissolving 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 1901 there were over 100 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. well the chemical industry will often say if i know 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 a you know fall into a large body of water and 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 3rd trimester and you get even a perp or 1000000000 or parked 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 yesterday. 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. 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. 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 300 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. please when companies started moving away from silicon valley to china i think that they were the only too happy to have

the government off their backs and. their chinese government made an offer to multinational corporations that they couldn't refuse. you need a 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. just. please please. please let.

me and 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 guru and sons of those who. come in the new. ball. anyway focused on this is you. know you. know you can see as you go by the one you don't we see you know some of the.

i think will count. this from. the stuff. you see that played into. this for the boss and will. cause the. news as you do want. to live it will not. be off. so we have. to move to a city that has it on the way and. you know we. knew they would soon have. to do such

a thing how much all. don't let me go boom another you go and see they. do it so we made our loved ones we did good teaching good to go do that and you were telling each other you put in the to know. if and how you saucy you know you sound sung to god so they. say you have an estate in sweden is. good to know that you. know it's easy to do so. because that is so. basic. it's resizing. so good about themselves. there's some of the.

bigger. picture you could think i'm going to be able to. do more in the yahoo or changing sort of a no shanghai you can team or you feet on. google doubting engine. didn't move a bottle through the injured in the costume. and only turned on the one of the 2 ladies. a.t.m. sure. he laid out. he told me only. change him.

our coverage of africa is what i'm most proud of every time i travel bad whether it's east or west africa people stopping in tell me how much they appreciate our coverage and our focus is not just on their suffering but also on a more happy lifting and inspiring stories people trust on just here to tell them

what's happening in their communities in a clear and on fire and as an african i couldn't be more proud to be part of. what a military coup overthrew chile's marxist president one stadium's became prisms and the hunters sole objective was absolute control. publicly refused to accept dictatorship episode 4 of football rebels expose the life of carlos. the footballer whose personal story swayed of votes that altered the history of his country carlos caselli and the demise of a ended a on al-jazeera the promise of peace in the middle east. but a new dilemma after the death of the man at the center of the palestinian struggle . now more than 40 years after to stablish meant how far has the p.l.o. come to achieving its hopes and dreams concluding the turbulent story of the

recognized government says it's retaken control of the strategic hour to air base that site has been used as world khalifa haftar as headquarters in western libya since 2014 now earlier this month forces from tripoli launched an offensive to recapture that base our correspondent must point out the wahid has moved from the capital the takeover of. the base by the government forces is was swift takeover and partly thanks to the intensified turkish drones recent airstrikes now the government forces say that they can now focus on defending the capital tripoli and also moving on the major stronghold and all the and last stronghold now for half the forces and there was of libya namely the city of the horn about 70 kilometers to the south. now a jewish settler has been found guilty of murder in

a high profile also an attack that killed a palestinian toddler and his parents back in 2015 the man firebombs the home belonging to the family in the village of duma they were sleeping at the time a syrian man accused of state sponsored torture and murder is giving evidence in his trial for the 1st time to alleged former intelligence officers are in court in germany they're accused of committing crimes against humanity in the early days of the syrian revolution chinese technology company huawei says new u.s. restrictions on chip surprise could undermine the global tech industry it called the decision all the treasury and pernicious and says its business will inevitably be affected well those are the headlines and now it's back to death by design i have more news for you after that.

you might call party dates new fountains in the photo 6 missiles you see youngest about to do it has died and 15 others were injured after an explosion at a conference korean train do self but you know they do you think you saw me on cue but you know you just don't want to see the good at around 7 pm in a policy workshop diffusive being triggered by an explosion of combustible dust in 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 have very poor housekeeping very poor production processes that's terrible. what's

completely unacceptable is that 5 months later at another plant within the apple supply chain they had another explosion and fire. its outrageously inexcusable that they had a 2nd 15 months later. they set up the supply chains exactly the way they want them they monitor these chains with exacting scrutiny so they know exactly what's going into their products at every point along the way. here. or we have

a town hall i fix the gun so it will show you some of that. so i have an i phone 5 here and them and show you a little bit about what's inside what makes it tick and some of the design choices that apple made putting it together to the 1st thing out paul has on the bottom is to proprietary penta loeb screws this is a security screw that 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 that can make your phone last for 8 hours if you need a really big battery. batteries and phones last about 400 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 2 you have to replace the battery apple has decided with the 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 an attempt to limit the lifespan of the following. about 18 months which is

around the time when they have a new phone and they want you to buy a new one anyway. i fix is a company that wants to see everything get fixed so we show people how to fix things and provide 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 people to repair their own stuff. the amount of raw materials that go on the products that we use are stagnant over $500.00 pounds around material go into making in 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. nothing is different. electronics industries close the 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 own it there's no way we're ever going to sell you a screwdriver to be able to get on the phone 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 30000 miles you have an entire ecosystem an 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 and when it stops working you go buy a new one. when we originally started my fix 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 a lot of that related to our tool manufacturing. and. 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 surprisingly complex circuit board and i've got these basic schematic to sort of board once we decide i'm going to leave them with the team and. finding a supplier that is environmentally friendly has good quality and has reasonable pricing all 3 of those at once is probably going to be a challenge. for the next photo. 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 lie and. the factory said this is where they're etching and bringing all these nasty acids and other chemicals in. 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 assets all over the floor and the moment i looked over that they told me 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. the fact that it was so dear to you is the price you have to pay for the last 30 years of development you. don't want to buy from them. what do the somebody. from what do you know about incentives from them to me. just by. putting on. the 1. 100 or. so since i will be sure so i said she brings my sense that the time to buy them just. as what the idea

what that's like the model of model hope we. don't see that. doesn't you know but fox you know by you since you took. the. do it so you suddenly and so when push you. do it's a typical high problem. for them. but to get don't you think you. do you see. you constantly changing. them all those. you. spend a lot of time travel interruptions and.

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 thing and they have fish in here in the factory and i said well they 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 a 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 1st chinese citizen to receive the scole award was thank i set up this institute of public on your bar medal affairs ip and our 1st project is to to butte 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 110000 records of violations in our database. in april 2010 we filed letters to 29 i.t. friends who checked with them whether those polluting factories whether they are their suppliers. all of them responded except to 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. 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 the chain that it had a very heavy environmental impact in their locality and when he level of those charges apple was shocked and 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 need and 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. 40 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 ways hazardous waste. in just one supplier it generates more than $100000.00 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 the computers and typically 3 to 4 years. for a small company in r. and. a mission is to choose a fair trade computer. in the

early days i repaired this component levels on the computers and one imports. from i noticed that there was huge amount of waste in the computer industry. so we started designing and building a database of brain reuse with computers. this is my father's environmental drill and all my trusty and just you know it's just it's just. how can you build a computer going to stick 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 that it's technology of 100 years ago but it's

perfectly good our computers will last 7 to 10 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 1st year people. for integrated desktop computers it was the world's 1st ever achieve this award at that time i thought wow the the gates will open with orders so flooding here 1st 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 it work harder build more computers and get people to join us. and the. americans toss out a lot of gadgets every day. if we look at the $3000000.00 or so tons of electronic waste that gets generated in united states every year probably 15 percent of that gets recycled. and some percent of that gets recycled in a responsible fashion.

but till. she's a t.v. . movie about all. of that when you need to fill it or. the movie or. say on the farm. or md you'll. see her and. the queen knew what many to try to hide it. goes with the evidence and. then the feet hunting.

al-qaeda hi susan. shit don't lose your shit. i'm the one who has to be. so nice which is what she. says to of the decimal sapiens out how you. so the sound happy then he goes he'll hide. those. she needs. to. use a male cousin page. we think ok we'll send are you waste of 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 in 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 4 days ago this air was over asia. and you have more pollution 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
