hundreds of strange mountains life. scattered around johannesburg, south africa's most populous city. but they aren't a natural phenomenon. they are mine tailing, waste heat left over from south africa. hugely profitable golden destry. many also said to be dangerously toxic, a wash with heavy metals, poison, and radioactive debris. with experts help french journalists, mass, time to do is getting the content find typically analyzes but one night while he waits for the results, he gets a mysterious voice mail message. hello, my name's i heard that you were interested in the mining legacy around around 200, but you know, mind dumps. well, i work those in a little mental geologist for awhile. so i would very much appreciate if you can, if you can come around if we can have a good about it. thank you very much. the message is from a geologist,

eagle club check. after 20 career in the mining industry. he's now left it disgusted by the industries failure to had his warning about dealing with it twice . i'll tell you what i find particularly scandalous to take the worst possible material, which is uranium grinding into dust comparable to flour and make a whole lot of it. and put it into place where people live. because colossally bad idea. when you, when you said that women were you doing reports where you listen and that's fine. i have written lots of reports. i must have some sort of recording and answered emails, probably over over a 100. so after a while, you know, i was explained what you are proposing costs money. i mean, 1st of all, you have to become the contaminates the land. that is number one, number 2, you can actually pump tailings all the way back when you got them from them,

with just a few percent of cement. and you can get rid of tailing this way. you see it basically put it to normal. you put it back to where it was, how does it make you feel when you see it is local communities complaining about their, their health problem. what does it make you feel like you feel like a murder? what we have done, like i said, we have created an enormous environmental disaster. if we let you know growing potatoes and we made environmental disaster along the side, it would be different. we will say, okay, we are feeding the nation. well, the gold mining industry do in reached a small percentage of people. so we have produced gold, which is the most useless thing in the whole world. it feeds human greed. it has no uses. and yet we have made and probably one of the biggest environmental disasters in the world. so yes i do. i do feel like like a murderer. as eagles, disturbing,

one thing can mapped out heads back to see pharma, eric from gama. he's good signs of radioactive poisoning. now the test results for the animals of being delivered in person by frank vendor, the johannesburg professor of a foreign mental studies. i want to tell me about why my name is frank franklin, the professor has come to see eric livestock, france, l u c. i. 7 the test results a clear material from the nearby mine tailings has contaminated eric's on the other line and uranium isn't the only problem. for example, manganese would be quite significantly elevated in your, in your water sample over 2000 times. what would, what you would find in natural water sources and redo her. we do have nico being elevated

a 1000 times of often they get this elevator 50 times ends in as well. sounds and $500.00 time. ok. so most, let's say indicative metal for mining impact that is uranium in those tailing. so that is about 10 times what you would see in a natural environment 10 times as much. so what you, what you analyze in your water, you did about a 100 times more than one would find it and polluted natural prestige. water soften in a farm surrounded by pollution. its animals badly contaminated it's disturbing news. the hair of your goat shows the highest level of or fell off or analyze the metals. okay. you see uranium is 60 times for elevator, but all the lit is elevated to 80 times the meaning almost $100.00 times above what's normal? it's the same was cobalt, the same was also nixie and

a 600 times for nickel. maybe here and you did, you didn't know and no. okay. alright. i can have all of the. yes you can. it's all use for matter without us when a linear down at right for flemming, farm y, livestock, die prematurely townships where children have neural logic. the disorders and suffer from terrible coughing fits, but all the medical links between poor health and mining. so clear cut staff at the free local health clinic might have some among the patients is truly zulu. it's the 3rd time this month that the youngest son has taken ill. the

me i used to live with them. i go to stella because number, no new they way. yeah. for how you got your own. they may have called the code to was into both. so sometimes we see was you get a quote like the one that i just saw she was having a test in drawings, coughing the does because of the does something that you will see on the average. yes. you have a number of cases. luckily,

there should be like you mentioning is that people who are leaving their minds if we get a lot of those, i think definitely we have to do in astonishingly. the south african state has never conducted a study to understand the impact of mine. toiling on the population, but matter can you catches up with too lazy to, again, back and her township. at the foot of the mine and out collecting water, i get a good. all right. very heavy. so you have to do this every day. this is julie shares this most shock with her for children learn. le le mars i ramey is, lynn. allah is in as zing love. i live fuzzy says be able to play lindsay.

i'm up on the corner. quintinella the j couldn't. i couldn't last field. get up to say they were this tiny cabin, provide some shelter from the rain, but not from the pollution truly zulu. and her children live only a few dozen meters from the mine dump. where earlier, the master had measured radioactivity levels 28 times higher than the norm. she agrees to provide her sample to test what level of conformation. what? ok. now, once i'm giving you that a new von san penny, director of the institute for research and scientific expertise, stroudsburg comes on line. you will do it on the community or just give or going to come under the commotion to pool or you know if and i'm just the low the number. i don't

want it to think what i meant to do is yes, you could just kind of go measure sure. what did i say? right. concern. alright. what should be more than enough? is your boss excited? you sounds good morning. my name is triple visors demo. linear, we're pretty sure we don't like this official when i do need it, but all right,

perfect. martha has also taken a half from atlanta and we met a little girl suffering from europe. look at us, but i've taken the damage done. it's still a dutiful ah. yeah. and then more 10 in total from other residents living near the mine and sent them by express mail to professor penny in france. once again, they'll be a few days of waiting for the results. in the meantime, martin goes looking for gold. some of south africa, the most profitable export, is used in the electronics industry. some of it is used for investment, but most of it ends up as jewelry. yet to the websites of the world,

major luxury brands, a curacy silent about the sources that the gold gave john boat yoke from. i love it all new or any of them came to respond to questions should have been calling to talk to you on my job agreement because you don't know how good it was during your visit from this morning. almost if you don't see it. but again, in the community really don't want, i've been put into model for the moment. you can put it down, do indeed not one jewelry brand agrees to provide details of where the gold comes from. mitigating giving you cool bustle, question the only them italian brand agree is the 3rd largest dealer in the world, and it certainly seems to be using a loss of gold. it's time to go shopping. bull grease

headquarters. johanna are located in fountain city, among some of the most expensive real estate on the african continent. in a luxurious shopping monet by the company displayed one of its finest pieces. a gold and diamond necklace, costing almost $70700.00. but again, no one seems to know where the gold had been, so we want it to know with cheer in the gallery. you knew where the gold comes from . if you could talk about it of gold, the gold. yeah. you know, jewelry. have no idea. no idea. okay, don't you're thinking kind of surprising that you don't know where to go from. something that you should be okay. you know, the of the consequences of mine, mine, for example, the ninety's is when you buy the book and private industry, georgia job,

but that's just, i mean even that just stuff i percent of the commercial thank you very much. you're welcome. ah, back in a world overshadowed by the waste dump, the south africa, the vast gold mining industry. when people are gathering in a charge, a tiny, the activists has come to run some people with you. so to have all the children whose company must have taken protests, ah,

ah, what have fred and even the national media present? everyone wants to know what the scientists have computed. and thank you so much again for being here today. i really appreciate the fact that you've come quite a long way through to the matter run through the results cleaned from soil water and go samples. so then equals are in a struggle in charge of analyzing the levels of heavy metals found in the human had that been gathered local. they've got a lot on it. we don't always say, here's the other girl took the bill from the group donna renewed it. sure. was really additional job. roy would go back to the show you do do do

we don't do you guys don't do do do so. so which one you would expect your call is what you would explain that you don't don't know. don't do to know when you sit down. it's cuz i want to respect was it really? all of these findings could help south african doctors give me a tandem better diagnosis for her disease or the other little thing for your own. you know, people which i don't, i don't, i don't those who i guess what she was taken together. the results and deeply disturbing the soil gathered by my from the

mind tailings is full of heavy metals. the level of arsenic, for example, is $330.00 times higher than the norm. the water is full of uranium, $100.00 times the international limit. the goats are infected, that contains 83 times more lead than those living far away from the mighty length . and as for the residence, some of the children show $64.00 times more exposure to lead 5 times more exposure to uranium. and 4 times more exposure to authentic than the average french person will be sent to these tv. engage down for the chemical for what can we do for you about the about the usually don't do. do you mean miss separately?

no, i don't think it was normal and this is not my fault. don't people that might still be something needs to be done. it's been we've had enough of this man's exposing us so, so we are appealing now to everybody once again to make sure that you're saying that petition there was the, you know, we've lost the because the official evidence. but now what then documentary busy you are doing. know it blew me, but people know what?

oh, thank you very much. once again, my wife as residents begin planning, the next move including a possible legal claim against the mining companies. matter obtains an interview with the chamber of mine the industry's association for some of south africa, the most powerful mining consent for me also truly pretty don't 6 as if there are some with me louis the mean and i think you should go to missouri. emma and it's time to put it on the 20th almost a 120 years later, stephanie moved out runs that we're going to stations and pollution department offering for those issues. that the goal producing firms do not want to address

individually regarding the environmental impact of the mining industry. do you think it's it's going in there on the right track on the roadway years the if significant good progress achieved the fall in terms of mining companies dealing effectively with environmental impacts. has the chamber of mine ever convicted human health impact assessments regarding the the tidings mine tuning not, not that on my way off. ok. we've done some a some, some smack done then shows her letters the same scientific analysis that he has shared with the residents back in the township. we never heard about the loan. ok. what does that make you think now it's, it's quite clear planning for me and i think some can should be done. do you think that the mining industry that you present have a responsibility in these numbers?

i think in it is we our member companies mine? yes. we do have the responsibility. do you live close to the maintaining? why not? if i may i mean most of the it's, i mean most of the, i mean those guys, they fall in the table or not the other way around. so they chose to go and do you think the people, the leave around the p d, stating this huge turnings in jonesborough? do you think they're safe? they're not, they're not at all. there's a lot of environmental risks as well as safety risks. and why do you think it hasn't been clean over all these years of years to something should be done for detailing that our own bell. and then when you, when you say something, do you think it's something where, what, what is it about eating me the end of the had been taishan of those should get rid

of these these i think we need an overall management strategy as the industry and obviously in partnership with government, the so what does the government have to say? south africa, the environment minister declined to be interviewed. and he's office said that the subject is not his area of expertise. the ministry of health, on the other hand, is very interested, but looking at livable casting, director of the national institute for occupational health, 1006 from the mentally. this is of great importance to demonstrate that the levels so much higher and that there will be

negative health effects on the children. and really one of the real tragedies is that the study and why the money has not been prioritized. we need to make sure that mines and other workplaces don't continue to contaminate the living environment for communities and so on. would you like a copy? oh, we would absolutely love to have a copy because you see be, don't have to be, we'd be, be, don't have it in. and then we can go in with our medical teams and perhaps have a sample of those who have got higher levels of these different heavy metals and, and geranium, and go in more physical examination. do blood test to unit tests and monitor there the south african government will soon

begin a major study on the health impacts of mining pollution. but time is of the essence . in 2017 mining companies extracted 130 tons of goals from south africa and producing 27000000, 600000 tons of supplementary waste. more waste will be produced next year and the next one, the one after that, there are still 35 years remaining of exploitable goals result in south africa. how many move victims will have to be in that time? this one will realize that life is more precious than gold. ah, ah, ah, ah

ah, with more than 200000000 cases because of 19 worldwide governments about going to fight fresh wave of the a new barion. there has been a 3rd and the number of people working vaccination appointment from the human coast to political and economic pool out. i'll just bring to the latest on the pandemic. this will have vaccinated more than 1100 people here, all of them migrant farm workers. people on home testing because they think that there is a risk to democracy, special coverage when i'll just there are no, it's been the meet the young river traders resume. they can either read nor right. that they know how to code their reading seizures.

and get with their he'll do anything just to bring it all well to hello, good to be with you right off the bat. i've got a warn of the potential. we could see some damage and destruction with hurricane larry as it rolls through the canadian province of newfoundland and labrador. so when we break down the numbers, you'll see why 1st of all, not a major brain events only about 20 millimeters. but here's the situation with those winds. gusting up to about 142 kilometers. some sort of damage can be expected here . off to western canada, batch of rain running through southern areas of the canadian prairies, alberta just eventually interesting sketch one this weekend. desert southwest temperature, it's coming down a bit, but we do have red flag warnings for northern california. this is where the colder

and the dixie wildfires are burning. so the threat of some erratic fire behavior mostly because of thunderstorms. we did have hurricane all off make landfall towards cobb san lucas. it's now out toward the pacific, but still watching the pacific coast, mexico in the gulf of mexico for more activity to cook. up in the days ahead. we do have some heavy rain for the pacific coast of columbia running into the colombian andes over the weekend and further toward the south. some weather will slide into santiago, so that's going to keep your temperatures cool. below average with that cloud cover and rain season. the too often of cornerstone is portrayed through the prism of war, but there were many of thanks to the brave individuals who risk their lives to protect it from destruction. an extraordinary film archive standing for decades
