you decide yet, have a bond done that one month. it also had the year they get the few may bills to missouri to do it quickly. ended this again. i started up with a deluxe on the best on the fiscal i was, i have a that is up issue of the la police show me. yes, she of less of any demand for my some quantity that the team know this is a complex problem and continually investigating the multiple causes. they're currently working on a new analysis that's about to be published to graph liaison kasanya split the levin mill. she does, if you listen to the police show,

this is she glove? tony kind a, is a doctor and toxicologist, and is leaving this new research. currently we are working on one design, which is called the incidence of going into formation the title and the design. we map different mining in level by she to see if they are flaws, phone, where we are both feet or where we men are going to get if you want. what the scientist, the finding from the data is that in lubin bashi, the proportion of baby is born with birth defects is higher in the 5 health zones. the red areas that contain mines and smelters, then how phones with no mining activities. the green areas the, the team must collect samples of vegetation, soil,

and water to test for toxic metals. and the on the way to residential areas close to mines, processing plants, and smelters. when tables is mine, tier 2 processes a used pyro metallurgy, using heat which produces smoke and hydro metallurgy, using liquid, causing waste products which is stored in large tanks. it's these processes that the scientists believe may be at the heart of the problem. we know that if we have might have to be d like i drew metallurgy, it's mean that the use acid to produce or to get mentors and is, was the remaining what can be used in the system that we call drainage. they expose the population when they sprayed these acid p

substance in the window of the population. when we did the rain the open day, and this substance, toxic substance spray environment. and this population we're living in the vicinity of this might complain of these exposure. lizzy for young liz already good year, keep again the model, the excite. so the net, chris was on the dollar to get a shot and with the disorder. bruce yesterday said, if you got my dad then they could do that again. okay. ah, make chamberlain a man made lake located between the 2 largest mining towns of this region.

me in the region where most people live on just less than $2.00 a day. fish, the best, most affordable source of protein. it's relied on as a staple. professor koya collected fish from 4 different areas to be tested. we're not there yet, but my song, the some downtime melissa, share air after this is josh. some crime examined me. won't walk the lo, real muscle. i mean, she stopped the postal saw him, i want them to start the big news. i love the surgeon sebastian them do

a move design is going to operate on ben and jessica today to repair the cleft palate before then with this multiple mission, i'm not fitting with sometime was fitting food are coming out for most it means they are not growing with one and a half or 2 years old was a gun speaking. there is not a big visual because of the bennet, especially the soft, but it is open and their muscle are slippery. that's why there are some phones which cannot be that way. for now, the month promotion were similar, but the boy were older of the eclipse of the hud and the soft, but by the good of the cleft only of the stuff. and for

this, we did 2 different procedures. many shown i'm bob. i did so but not dumb, fly me to melbourne. and when i meet the, the team collecting vegetables that the local population eat, they will be tested for the presence of a range of heavy metals, including cobalt manganese and think all of which are toxic in anything but very low doses to the human body. ah, this is the in the rio memory, i used to live the family living or the being of the pregnancy in my town is in much commune. but mine is near one company which is called dead. and where we have got smoke

and the smoke which coming for many companies can also have some competence decides and it can be lead to or fashion. my commission also has been working in a mining company while she was pregnant community. many fuck those involvement factors which were link and which was making very high belief of italian or partial multiple initiative but for mariah and her husband gala. they were completely unaware of any of these risks to me. and of course they forgot and they said really, mom will visitors and gala learn more than i'm on my chair. please

give me, do want to for my, my many while my chair has been a week, i was a professor koya published the results of his research into fish from lake jungle ailey and the rivers that feed into the basin in the scientific journal. in 2016, a plague i'm at the vehicle or the whole this of or through very it isn't that she's on the go said in the life jungle really. that isn't really a he lip was all so content me. i knew that i knew it, among them it got more leap. i saw, saw them in stock to fix event last week the among men look about, look, we've last long summer and i saw contact

me and you're young. you're young. a mid the yes you're it. yes sir la folk, a babbler. the approval of the month of the month for i'm not sure if your firm would shoot it but it slash sun sunday. da. dando got out. don't put it on this. you mean the bad you fit and use in mythology role? ah, professor panza and sebastian and emissions. i also wanted to investigate fish was up on it by saki v. that'd tokyo to curious. why is it yankee p n n $23.00? yeah, it was of course it was also too special mon, i mean,

back in the dog toxic to the la jolla lily is to be large of us on the plus. you saw she called me about the middle me mariah 8 the fish when she was pregnant with both pen and jessica. we found out people were hitting the fish efficient. we mean other to the 1st month of pregnancy, they then signed up to the vents in time after these 2 head, she's been with congenital mindfulness, the ban and jessica are ready to go home. but they need therapy to assist in the full recovery. but at present

there's no speech and language therapist in the been bashi. ah, has be mining in this region for more than a century? yes, in the past decade, health problems including birth defects, of being found to be late areas affected by mining pollution. i thought be in miami is working to hold the mining companies to account and to improve that practices. it's clear about what should be done back in practice. many companies are not committing the requirement of the government. i can pay off the show or technical services to north have sufficient means in terms of material on how to conduct the inspection slide and to find out

who did you need to have good laboratories. so that's also he gave a challenge to the government. we asked the d. r. c, ministry of mines and the chamber of mines, the industries trade body to comment on some of the issues raised by the film. what more should they be doing to address the problems caused by cobalt mining? neither chose to respond, nor did any of the mining companies. we approached for a comment i since their 1st study, professor barnes and his team have found an increase. the incidence of babe is born with cleft lip from pallets, which may well be linked to the increase of mining activities in this region. nevertheless, i believe there are solutions on the present for

the let because on the line to be material the predicts, i'm gonna get like the used in movies is the shape you plug in the beginning of the shit. so dial isn't here on my desk alone. she was submitted up yet. i mean, the sheet cable may be part of the global solution to climate change, but is it right that congress next generation should be paying the price in damage to the house? many hoping that the more the world understands that flight the more pressure will be pushed when the industry here to clean up its act. me
