and of course, for people the, they had, as you know, the possibility to get a limited amount of cash, but with enormous difficulties that we are having also enormous difficulties and them. i mean, an economy doesn't work without the blogs and the blood of the economy is cash. and so, as i said, i think it is important to avoid the collapse of the economy. and i think the international community to find the ways to do it without violating international rules and norms. he said the situation is extremely urgent and that's because of the calendar. obviously winter is approaching enough on a stone. and even if they get the money from the international community and it seems they have got quite a bit more money, they've got to get the humanitarian aid and get it distributed before winter sets in. israel's prime minister says he's held important discussions with the egyptian president where the 2 agreed to strengthen bilateral ties. that's tele bennett,

at 1st glance they could be the remains of an ancient civilization ah, all, and catching natural phenomenon. these strange hills surround your hon is the largest city in south africa. but there beauty is deceptive and talk. in fact, the dns a made up of mining waste left of the south africa as possible in gold 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 ah. oh sunrise in america river basin. one of south africa, the largest fresh water is ah, bridget corrigan 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 terrestrial, but also the 1st. what about diversity is very special. he's got about 14 piece,

the fish, and a lot of really endemic species of invertebrates and credit config that's constant to the health of the, of the service system. there are about 202 species in america. i'm 17 of them all 3 and about 450 it is a national treasure and the north res doesn't have a lot of these are 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 resolve. this is america, the course of 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. listen 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 definitely at risk and, you know, we would like to see the status of the epic. no, go for money. if you pollute the, the 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 died?

read 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 1st discovered under small towns, who gentlemen? from that point on, the mining industry began to deposit its debris all around the city. in more and more waste piles and often only a few dozen meters from residence. some of them may look as innocent a sandy, but they are mine to dislike heaps. the use of extraction and digging for gold the rest the day i'm sitting here in addition to some of the data i bought in a sometimes i was to say when i would use to send you

the deputy warden street filters additional issues. so what does it mean for those living next to these genes? like here at, ah, yeah. so it does when come from the mind savings? it flows this, i just did, i still decide on this side from 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 sanford. meet you 20 to dusty to your call from new york. oh funny. sometimes. yeah, your eyes become easy. ok. this is not clay. if you go to the killing, damp,

this floyd has some it, some can cause this image. so i'm advising you today. not to go to the main temp because it's very dangerous to all day. it's unhealthy at the same time. to go the 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 1000 residents were unwell. so she knocked on almost every door. this house is key, was coughing. this house, the mother, the owner of the house. when you come here to coughing here isn't as we men are we men with child around kid is causing a problem of coughing is appropriate to gain some of them for me. 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, we drink this, that's so that is 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 gave easy day to day to now another tando, 6 years old. martin, she's paralyzing brain doesn't 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 my heaps gotten test like this. test you put it on the test. before you sleep, you must see she did that and blanket wine. yeah. a few weeks later, the 1st sign of illness appeared in the sense that tando has been unable to how you communicate with her. when she she was to be changed. and then she, she keeps it. okay. oh maybe you into a to. she has to go outside, which, you know, because they, you know, she wants 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. but they are, in no doubt,

are there other like room with the same symptoms, same health issues. yeah, i do know. and then the of them, the filling, the only problem in that dashing the kids they don't want anybody knowing about their kids in the situation there took them open causes in the, in the sense for the children, 2 of them. so many of them, you know, 1st met 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, but 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 over the full square kilometer was $4689.00 each joint and immediate addition was later must 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 enter a date adjacent farmland residence also give it to their livestock, sometimes that children even bathing it. okay,

once i can do ms. reynolds on them to put it back to my killer pre owned, she pointed on the senior police office when frank linda is professor of environmental studies at northwest university in south africa. can you see me? linda is also an expert on mining the world health organization. all right, with your help mazda 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 translate into into an elevated collector connectivity. if this isn't coming tonight, but a no ph in, you know, i'm probably because see if i don't, it was to drink

a really gum valid so don't live with the maximum. so for me to louisiana korean right now to do it because i see the you can also make which is a metal line which is income minus elevated chromium as well as the building and let the, all the usual people like that just it sounds like you're thankfully lead zillow, vegas on committee. com valid, daphne, you know, if we can pull up with his older group, maximum, no data to meet the person and it's impossible to analyze everything there and then come after 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 goals produces agrees to a meeting. the goldfields. 8750 kilograms of gold was minded the site last year. the team can't go underground into the mine itself. the company will only allow them to film surface operations. we get the all from, from the but i know you will see on the front via currently we are doing a minus 5500 times a day. i mean, we averaging on pretty on our depends on the order viability and how many of the or that you see on this go fall is minus 5 gems,

but done time. 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 line, i did notice that your 3 major chemicals, enterprises, 40 mega, neat and silly. gone that. sorry, i all of these to get it would be the goal. the last stage is the coughing at $800.00 degrees celsius for 40 minutes.

the end result gold at 84 percent purity each weighs in it just 16 kilogram. and it's worth around $530000.00. goldfields. make 5 of these gold balls a week. producing 16200 tons of residue equivalent to the weight of 2 of francis eiffel towers. me the company's waste accumulates here on this he said, 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 trills. 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, all there is uranium. soft deep has very little uranium in. it's also there's very little uranium in the stomach. you know, how much is it? 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 is then abandoned leaving behind radioactive mind. tailings

that are kind of control, you do the samples you were talking about based on databases. the gold samples are done daily. yeah. ok. but the radiation testing would probably be okay. over time, the waste produced by south africa, golden history has formed increasingly larger radio active he dumped outside in the open air. according to official estimates of the mine tailing surrounding johannesburg now contain and astounding 600000 tons of uranium. the quantities are so high that in reality, the mountains of waste 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. those rules are routinely ignored. as here and to the shaft, a township would have a $20000.00 residence. for me to allow me to see it

was on sale. bruno sharon is an engineer in nuclear physics and an expert from cree, read a research association on radioactivity. when i was, i was on the same day area. google was sell off to for me, lama noise. when i was for the last few months, it was going to be a little bit later they also call not on the law will give you on a phone call to make sure. so call me today. i know my, my video. yes, young lilian montgomery evaluated cleverly doors that you don't need to do yet. they put in yes, she thought of going to your more recent law johnson than a jointed meal. i don't, it was the one that you did when this book over 3 don't,

didn't even do is there will be a good to meet with you on the, on the get for 3 north country on that for us does the for when this larger than a drawn loan, it goes you only for you didn't try it on. it seems like the fun of do they get us in a luxury for larger than a child? it was just really just wanted to close on it. let it go. did you see me? ya, drug makeeta 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 fun 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 the my yeah, why do i ask them? show them the 4 sixes. if this is feed, eric wants to show us the most common symptom amongst his flock. they want to mourn line. yeah. for the muslim but i'm i didn't know what to montgomery the metro mrs. yet told the nurses the fund number one and is it and i just got a pencil of mine so you will get a supply one at atlanta dot. it is $1100.00. i'm going to actually run and i'm 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 in it seems as though eric's goats have radiation sickness. but evidence is needed configured when we are close to the mind paintings 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? i think it's a very good way to do it. so it's like an archive, an archive environment. so if you could kind of collect your coordinate, that would help us a lot in your study. we'll go into this met as well. what must take some samples from to goes intended to be used to meet consumption, including one who is blind. ok. so

come up with the results shown as one of the things, things. but i must take the samples 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 do some goals. stranger, understand whether the sun was company will make periods. and so what can you, what can you look for as almost all the amount of the important amount was like you're, you're going now your lead, you know, i see me which our family talks basically we, we don't have to get them to once we get them then that 3 for now. okay,

right. as he waits for the analysis must return to the investigation in part to the shocking results come in. he 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 bad idea. meteor ice small natural rocks from outer space that survive the journey down to us and have high market value for rock and minimal collectors. i'll just a worlds joins the moroccan nomads in their desert such with these gifts from nascar. yeah, no,

i can tell that it's mister roy had it is it is i me to write morocco's meteorite hunters on all jersey the natives news as it breaks, the concern is that my suits forces are coming round on the mountain ridges. trying to surround this area in order to isolate school with detailed coverage, real power fill live, and how much he takes all the major strategic decision from around the world. the water rose so quickly at this new jersey apartment complex. it caught many people off guard. al jazeera recounts the shocking story of the assassination of counts full cabana dot. the 1st un envoy trying to bring peace to the middle east. how is negotiations with himmler help save thousands of jews from nazi concentration camps and how these mediation skills put him at the vanguard in

the quest for peace in the middle east? killing the count on algebra. ah, i don't know, taylor in under the stories are algebra. international donors have pledged more than a $1000000000.00 to help us kind of son by foreign aid, his dry dock after the taliban takeover. the promises followed a plea for help from the un saying afghans were an urgent need of a lifeline. its target was at least $600000000.00. to avoid will that cause a humanitarian crisis? extra general antonio cherish says he's concerned about the collapse of an entire country. many are at risk of running out of food by the end of the month as winter approaches.
