the me i learn tailoring under the top stories on out of here the 1st international passenger plane to leave campbell since the end of the us lead evacuation has touched down in doha, around a $113.00 foreign nationals were on board. the cut her airways charter flight landed it. there was how much international airport around 3 hours ago. the passengers are being taken to a holding center, indo hall before continuing onto their final destinations. the white house is welcome, the taliban corporation of the flight, calling it

a positive 1st step from a new government. now does, there's charlotte bellis was call airport. when flight took off. the 1st commercial international flight has now taken off from cobble airport. the 1st time that this has happened since the telephone took over carbon. in mid august people, 169, people in facts departed on this. boeing triple 7 on the way to door ha. before flying on to various countries, all of them had foreign passports, or these is allowing them to enter these other nations. they came through the international terminal here behind me. the 1st time it has been open since the taliban took over and it was a very normal process. if they came through, they had they got tickets, although they were hand written tickets and then they moved to immigration. they showed the passports, they went through security and then they will bus to the flights. now there's been a lot of work that has gone on to get the airport to the point that it is now the

local stuff that we're working and the price of the telephone, tight carver working alongside to tarry technicians, technical stuff. and then also they have been some telephone service, but less time zone. and there has been a lot of clean up. a lot of the equipment was broken. they had to work on everything from getting the traffic control equipment running to liking them the wrong way to the radar system to cleaning inside the international terminal. that was very damage. so a lot of that has happened. they say that they're about 90 percent of what it was prior to the telephone taker, which means that little things like they can't take place at night. but for the most part, we are seeing commercial flights operating not just domestically, but now also internationally. the un security council is meeting to debate the situation in afghanistan and how to extend the organizations operation there you and envoy to kind of stone deborah lines says the country could be set back for generations without economic help. there is an immediate and pressing need to

deliver on a huge scale is central humanitarian aid. in areas such as health, food security, non food items and sanitation. and still secondly, there is an additional looming crisis to which i must draw your attention. billions of assets and dollar and donor funds have been frozen by members of the international community. the understandable purpose is to not is to deny these funds to the de facto taliban administration. inevitable effect, however, will be a severe economic downturn that could throw many more millions into poverty and hunger. may generate a massive wave of refugees from afghanistan and engage, set up, gather, stand back for generations. the us justice department is taking the state of texas

to a federal court over a controversial new abortion law, which prohibits nearly all terminations of pregnancy. us attorney general merit garland has vowed to continue to protect the safety of women in texas seeking abortions under their constitutional rights. new text and law prohibits termination of pregnancy. once embryo nic, cardiac activity is detected, which is about 6 weeks. but many women do not know they're pregnant to that time. yes, president joe biden is usually out his plan to curb a surge of cubic cases. fueled by the delta variant and high rates of vaccine hesitancy is being reported the bad and without a vaccine mandate for all federal workers and contractors during business with the federal government. and the u. s. has reported nearly a 177000 new cases in the past day, and at least 2100 new deaths. present shop stories, south africa, toxic city is coming up next one is for you after the thanks for watching

i at 1st glance they could be the remains of an ancient civilization ah, all and catching natural phenomenon. these strange hills surround johanna is the largest city in south africa, but they beauty is deceptive and talk in fact, the jews are made up of mining ways the left of the south africa and within them lie some disturbing hunger. now it seemed led by french

journalist, enough time to do, has uncovered the shocking truth of exactly what's in the mind. and just how deadly they may be. all me all. oh, sunrise in america river basin. one of south africa, the largest fresh water reserves. ah, bridget car again is a botanist and a specialist in the region. biodiversity. this is a very special catchment for a lot of reasons. it's quite a unique by diversity from not just the terrestrial,

but also the 1st. what about diversity is very special. he's got about 14 speech, the fish, and a lot of really endemic species of invertebrates and credit in 6. that's contrary to the health of the, of the service system. they're about to enter 2 species in america. i'm 17 of them are 3. and about $430.00, but it is a national treasure and the north res doesn't have a lot of things. a lot of the systems in this province heavily degraded the crown jewel of this natural treasure lies just a few pedal strokes upstream, a sanctuary. hidden at the heart of the river, this is america, the america river,

and the water bubbles up from big, underground water. kevin, at that point of the day, the water is clear as anything, very low conductivity, which means there's no salt, listens in the, in the system. it's really very, very pure. the water is crystal clear, but it might not stay that way. recently the mining industry has become interested in the area sub soil, which is full of precious minerals because it is about 10 miles payments for things like copper, silver, gold in the region. so despite the risk, yeah, this place is different. the risk and it's, you know, we would like to see the status of an epic. no, go for money. if you pollute the, this area, the underground, i prefer you can't just get that back. it's not going to come back. me. so could the america river basin one day resemble the other desperate landscape left behind

by the south african mining industry? use like these flat lands dyed red by chemicals? ah, or these mind tailings in the midst of south africa, or township? some of them date back to 1886 when gold was discovered under small towns, gentlemen, from that point on the mining industry began to deposit its debris all around the city. in more and more waste piles often only a few dozen meters from residence. some of them may look because in the center stand you but they online tailing this like heaps, the use of struction and digging for gold the rest the day i'm sitting here additional. it's a really was the date i bought in

a comes, i was to say will not proceed to the computer is running water stream for filters, additional gain vision. so what does it mean for those living next to these june? like here at the so it does come from the mind stating it flows. this size is today's fluids. this i on this side and from the side. tiny de la mimi is a mother of 5. she spent all her life in the shadow of one of the largest mining dumps in the country. it's residue is everywhere. lucky in the sun, the neighborhood has become one huge sam had to meet you 20 to dusty to your call

from the call from you. sometimes yeah, your eyes become easy. ok. this is not like if you go to the killing, damp, this voice has some it, some can cause it in it. so i'm advising you today not to go to the main temp because it's very danger us to day. it's unhealthy at the same time to go they, you mustn't go they, it's all about to go. busy a few months ago, tiny de la mimi wanted to find out how many people in her neighborhood over a 1000 residence were unwell. so she knocked on almost every door. this house, if keith was coughing, this house he, the mother, the owner of the house. when you come here to coughing here isn't every man we met with child around is causing his problem of coughing is appropriate of

his skin. some of them are only thing. i don't know when it does to no question that will bring them up with another question. i need over one and a half 1000000 south africans live in, townships like this at the foot of mine tailing mountain. the self. it gets into our food. we eat this past week. drink this, but so that's why so many people as the kid. this is the silent killer. 7 this dust doesn't just make people vomit or cough several children in the neighborhood suffer from severe neurological disorders. i think you're going to do today to another part of

the tando martin. she's paralyzing brain. you doing my lady. however, her family st. tonda was born perfectly healthy. the problems arose soon after the roof and the house with under repair at the time from the heaps gotten test like this test. you put your head on the test before you sleep, you must see she did that and blanket. yeah. a few weeks later, the 1st sign of illness appeared in the sense that tando has been unable to. how do you communicate with her when she she was to be changed. and then she, she keeps saying, okay, oh, maybe you into and she has to go outside which, you know, because they, you know, she has to blog said that you want to go outside. poverty has always prevented the

family from being able to prove a link between attenders, illness and the mind. dust much they are a no doubt. there are other like bundle around with the same symptoms, same health issues. yeah, i do know, and then the of them, the only problem in that dashing the kids they don't want anybody knowing about their kids in this situation there took them open causes in the, in the center, the show them 2 of them. so many of them, you know, 1st of all, personally 20 something to take me through only finding this if i sent to the main to, to the my, to detailing them to the, to detailing thing. so pass if you go outside often in distance from here, i believe you may never find this key to find out whether the dust from the nearby mine tailings really is the cause of

these illnesses matter must climb snake park hill. it had been abandoned ever since the mind was closed, access is supposedly submitted and nobody guarding the fight which extends the full square kilometer was $69.00 each joint and immediate addition was soon later matters. take 500 grams of the sun, the dust that's blowing over the village below. on the way down, he finds a green lake at the foot of the slope. is used mostly to irrigate adjacent farmland . residents also give it to their livestock. sometimes that children even bathing

it. okay. well, if i could put it in or do ms. reynolds on them to put in the killer pre owned, she pointed on the senior police, puffy so in frank, linda is professor of environmental studies at northwest university and south africa. can see me linda is also an expert on mining the world health organization. all right, with you help, muska has developed a scientific protocol at test catch the different water pollutants. yes. so on the bottom of the mine jelly, there's some water all around. i was wondering which parameters do you think i should analyze 1st in the water mining? nobody has a signature whenever you have elevated sulfate which, which translate into into an elevated, connected connectivity. if this isn't

a night but a no ph, you know, i'm probably because super when it would drink a really gum volume. so don't live with the maximum. so for me to louisiana and korean right now to do it because i see the you can also make which is a mental line which is income lives elevated chromium as well as the to think and let the all the usual people like that much. so he was thankfully led though, vegas on committee gone poly dothan each. you know, if we don't pull up with his older group, the maximum, no data to meet the person in,

it's impossible to analyze everything there and then must takes another sample to check from the pollutants later. but the tests have already thrown out serious question. after some convincing one of the country's top 3 goal to produce has agreed to a meeting the goldfields. 8750 kilograms of gold was mind at the site last year. the team can't go underground into the mind itself. the company will only allow them to some stuff that's opperation. we get to all from on the phone. but i know you will see it on the phone, but it's currently we are doing a minus 5500 times a day. i mean, we everything on free on that sounds fair. our depends on the old availability and

how many of the or that you see on this fall if i block minus 5 gems, but done, that's always good. currently only 5 grams of gold. each ton of mind, that's a remarkable ratio. and it means a huge amount of residue to be disposed of. the precious metal is separated from the rest of the all and then heated in these pill. because we use lie. i noticed that you're pretty major chemicals enterprises for megan, eat, and city gone. all of these together would be the goal. the last stage is the coughing at $800.00

degrees celsius for 40 minutes. the end result sold at 84 percent purity each weighs in. it just or the 16 kilogram. and it's worth around $530000.00. goldfields. make 5 of these gold ball the week. producing $16200.00 tons of residue equivalent to the weight of to francis eiffel towers. me, the company's waste accumulates here on this. he fed constantly 24 hours a day by these pipelines connected to the factory. within a few years, this hail will become another steep mountain of debris, reaching up to 70 meters high. andrew parsons and stephen joseph, are its grand architects. what's in there and basically, what is it?

well, it's, it's what's left over from the, from the extraction process. it's the rock that held the gold and what's left behind off the gold has been removed. so it's silica and, and other materials it's, it's a sand, but what kind of rules i bought i in and other metals, but mainly silica. is there any, had the mental, for example, you, there it be, trace amounts but, but they smoke concentrations some oars in some of the gold or there is uranium south deep has very little uranium in. it's also, there's very little uranium, and in this, in the stomach, you don't know how much it can not off hand. i think the numbers around about 40 to 50 grams of 1040 to 50 annually. south african mining companies extract 10

times more uranium than gold, so that the uranium isn't abundant. leaving behind radioactive mine tailings, that kind of control you do the samples you were talking about these databases. the gold samples are done daily. ok? but the radiation testing would probably be any ok. over time, the waste produced by south africa golden destry, has formed increasingly large radioactive heat, dumped outside in the open air. according to official estimates and the mind tailing surrounding johannesburg now contain and astounding 600000 tons of uranium . the quantities are so high that in reality, the mountains of weight should be classified by the state of nuclear installations . they should be confined unsecured, and kept at least 500 meters away from any residential area. but those rules are routinely ignored. as here into the shaft, a township with

a $20000.00 residence hall community. miss jackie, this it was on our player sheil bruno sharon is an engineer in nuclear physics and an expert from cree raj, a research association on radioactivity. when i was, i was going to say, david, google was sell off to for me, you know, when i was for the last few months it's going to be a little bit of a vehicle to also point not on the law will do you want to make sure, so critical donors just fell into a normal mind video. yes, young lilian montgomery evaluated level who doesn't need to risk yet. they put in. yes, she don't go to your more recent law. johnson than

a jointed meal. i don't is, was the one that you did when it was 3 don't, didn't even do is there will be good to meet with you on the on the get for 3 north country on that does you will see for just a larger than a drawn loan if you only for the order to didn't try it on, it seems like one of the things on us lunch for tonight going to try and it was just really just wanted to close on a let it go. did you see me ya? drug master has discovered that radioactivity levels are close to those. and the

exclusions zone around the fight at the 1986 renewable nuclear disaster. he follows the grazing animals to eric from gomez, nearby farm. eric keeps around 40 goats and a few sheets, none of which seemed to live very long linen lab of last week that week. yeah. not by the one month. one month. oh, wow. yeah. and do you have a lot of baby though? not because of my. my days as them show them for 6. this is this is feed. eric wants to show us the most common symptoms amongst his flock. they want ice morn going? yeah for the muslim but mother non know what you must gatorade. i met with mrs. yet told the next is the fund number one and is it and i will just gotten a pencil of mine. so yoga as a supplier, one at atlanta is atlanta,

georgia, and can actually run and i'm, and so when you see these every day, what do you think i'm filling out because the machine and then just put on i will go under my toilet bodies. absolutely. and it seems as though eric's goats have radiation sickness but evidence is needed configured when we are close to the mind failings in a farm that home animals look really sick. i mean, according to the, to the owner, do you think we should do some hair sample of the most environmentally exposure? i think it's a very good way to do it. so it is like an archive in all kinds of environments. so if you could kind of collect your coordinate, that would help a lot in your study will go into this met as well. what must i take some samples

from to goes intended to be used to meet consumption, including one who is blind. okay. so i come up with the results shown as one of the things things, but i must then takes the sample to be tested in south africa, counsel the scientific and industrial research here is the water from the ceilings just across the savings. it is used as a recreational what are the regression eligible for most drink? we also samples strange understand whether the sun was company will make perfect sense. so what can you, what can you look for as almost all the amount of the important amount was like you're going now i'm your lead, you know,

assuming which our family talk basically we, we don't have to get there until once we get them then that way for now. okay, right. as he waits for the analysis must return to the investigation in part 2. and the shopping results come in to share the news with some of those affected and comes face to face with an industry insider. what i find particularly scandals to take the worst possible material, which is uranium grind it into dust comparable to flour and make a whole lot of it and put it into place where people live. it is a colossal you bad idea. i can look my phone with my face. you can access your bank account with your voice unique algorithmic measurements of us that are revolutionizing the process of identification. biometrics from person, big convenience, and seeming infallibility,

comes across most crucially, our privacy. in the 4th of a 5 part series, highly re addresses the appropriation of our most personal characteristics. all hail the algorithm on jazz. the latest news as it breaks, the concern is that my suits force is coming round on the mountain ridges. trying to surround this area in order to isolate, to school with detail coverage, real power fill live, and how much he takes all the major strategic vision from around the world. the water rose so quickly at this new jersey apartment complex. it caught many people off guard around one percent of electricity globally is consumed by data centers, many of which provide remote storage facilities or what is also known as the cloud . i'm in no way to see how one center is harnessing the energy of the field to

store our digital information without a heavy comp and footprints. and i'm russell beard off the north coast of the u. k, where the global green energy revolution, taking on new elements. earth rise on al jazeera. ah, the hello learn taylor in under the top stories and i was here the 1st international passenger plane to leave cobble. since the end of the us lead evacuation has touched down in doha, around $113.00 foreign nationals were on board the cutter. railways, charter flight. the white house has welcomed taliban corporation over the flight, calling it a positive 1st step from the new government. the un security council meeting to debate the situation in afghanistan and how to extend the organizations operation

that you and envoy to kind of san deborah lyons says the country could be set back for generations without he can only help.
