the last thousands of our programs award winning documentaries and debt need to pull a scribe. youtube dot com, forward slash al jazeera english. ah, i'm how am i going to do? how would the headlines on al jazeera haiti's prime minister ariel own re, fact the chief prosecutor once had charged over the assassination of the president juvenile maurice was murdered in july court documents say the prime minister was phones. one of the main suspects after the shooting. michael diverts the author and journalist who's covered hasty forms 25 years. he says there's a lot of skepticism in 80, but the investigation in the presence test is being handled. is an extremely

convoluted state of affairs. i mean, as you mentioned, the president's murdered. now a little over 2 months ago, and it's quite clear from the circumstance that certainly his inner security was compromised, was left essentially to, to be assassinated by, by allegedly, by mercenary. and what's been swirling around or do you think you do in his inner circle, security and politically was involved in his burger and who the intellectual and financial offers were. and so the latest development whereby the chief prosecutor was essentially calling the sitting quite minister to be indicted for his electrical murder. and the private mister sacking that prosecutor as just added to your the tumult, the prime minister himself is ruling it can be called with extremely, i guess you might say questionable gentleman. he was named by a president. many had accused of staying over overstaying his term in office and

had not officially invested in that in that position before drove it on more. so the court, the question of the gentleman i think is really up in the air right now. we're about to there's a lot of doubt among people in terms of whether this will be allowed to run its course. i mean, most of the people have been arrested so far. i don't think anyone seriously thinks that they were the, the real money man with a real intellectual office crime. your effective face hands the blinking has testified for a 2nd day, but the military withdraw from us. galveston, the collapse of the washington bank governments. the biden administration has been criticized for pulling us troops. i, it's all of us. can a son taliban fighters gain territory across the country? lincoln told the foreign relations committee, full of cobble, to curious intelligence agencies. by surprise. we collectively over 20 years,

invest the discretionary amounts in those security forces and in that government, hundreds of billions of dollars, equipment, training, advice support and based on that, as well as based on what we were looking at real time. again, we did not see this collapse in a matter of 11 days. the taliban has promised to distribute more than a 1000000000 dollars of age directly to the afghans who need it. the money was raised to you and donors conference on monday. i've got a son is heavily reliance on external health and the talents takeover as height and fears of economic collapse. 3 former us intelligence operatives of admitted providing sophisticated hacking technology. the united arab emirates, the man have agreed to pay near the $1700000.00 in fines. to avoid prosecution. they're accused of court conducting hacking operations for the youi or working as

at 1st glance they could be the remains of an ancient civilization. ah, all un catching natural phenomenon. these strange hills surround johanna is the largest city in south africa. but the beauty is deceptive and talk in fact, the jews a made up the mining ways, the left of south africa as possible in gold and within them lie. some disturbing hunger now is led by french journalists, has uncovered the shocking truth of exactly what's in the mind. and just how deadly

they may be. all me all o sunrise in america river basin. one of south africa, the largest fresh water is the 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 the terrestrial, but also the 1st. what about diversity is very special. he's got about 14 speed,

the fish and a lot of really endemic species of invertebrates and credit config. that's contribute to the health of the system of the service system. there about $200.00 treat species and then rica. i'm 17 of them are tricky. and about fall under the bed. it is a national treasure and the northwest 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 puddle strokes upstream a sanctuary. hidden at the heart of the result, ah, this is america, i thought with america river and the water bubbles up from big, underground water. kevin, at that point of the day,

the water is clear with anything very low conductivity, which means there's no salt pollutants 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. regardless of attained mining payments for things like copper, silver, gold in the region. so displace the risk. yeah, this place is different yet risk and it's, you know, we would like to see the status as an absolute no go for money. if you pollute the area that 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 landscapes 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 $1886.00 when gold was discovered under a small town hall, gentleman 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 assigned you, but they online dating this like heaps, the use of extraction and digging for gold the rest the day i'm sitting here on a distance it's going, it was the date i bought in a comes out to say when i proceed to send

press 3 for the filters to do so. what does it mean for those living next to these genes? like here at? ah, yeah. so it does, do we come from the mind stating it flows this size is still, is this i on this side you do cycle 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 sun, the neighborhood has become one huge sam had to meet you. 20 to dusty to you call from new york. oh funny. sometimes. yeah, your eyes become easy. ok. this is not played. if you go to the killing, damp,

this voice has some it, some chemicals in it. so i'm advising you today not to go to the main temp because it's very danger us to all 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 to coughing here, each and every man we met with child around kid is causing a problem of coughing is appropriate of his skin. some of them for me thing i don't know when it's asking me questions,

i 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 gave easy to do today to another end of the tando martin, she suffers from 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 mind heaps gotten test like this. test you put your head 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 do you communicate with her when she she was to be changed. and then she, she keeps saying, okay, oh, maybe when she went to, she wants to go outside which you know, because they, you know, she has to say 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 is that the kids they don't want anybody knowing about their kids in this situation there took them open colors 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, but if you go outside, often in distance from here, i believe you may never find this key ah, to find out whether the dust from the nearby mine tailings really is the cause of these illnesses. maxim of climes make park hill. it had been abandoned ever since

the mine was closed, access is supposedly submitted and nobody guarding the fight which extends the full square kilometer was $69.00 from us was joined. then do me addition was to me to 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 residence. also give it to their livestock, sometimes that children even bathing it. okay, well,

i can do ms. reynolds on them today, the killer, pre only posted on the senior police, puffy so when 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 mind settings, 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 we just translate into into an elevated collector connectivity. if this isn't a night but a no ph, you know, i'm probably because i thought it would wrinkle newly gum volume.

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 mental line which is income lives. elevated chromium as well as the building and let the usual people like that much. so they use, thankfully las vegas on committee. com calling daphne in if we could pull up with his older group maximum, no data to meet the president. 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 produce 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 stuff. it's opperation. we get the all from, from the but i know you will see on the front via credit and we are doing a minus 5500 times a day. i mean, we everything on pretty on our depends on the order viability and how many of the or that you see on this go fall if i to minus 5 gems,

but done time. that's always good. currently, only 5 grams of gold to 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 said that you're pretty major kimiko senior prices for megan. nice and city gone as 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 gold 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 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 i, in and other metals, but mainly silica. is there any head to mental, for example, you there it be, trace amounts but, but they smoke concentrations, some oars and 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 abundant, leaving behind radioactive mind. tailings. that are kind of control,

you do the samples you were talking about on databases. the gold samples are done daily. yeah. okay. but the radiation testing would probably be in unity. 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 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. those rules are routinely ignored. as here into the shaft, a township would have a 20000 residence for me to miss your object. he did. you see it

was on our player. professor 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 on the same day. google was out of to for me, lama noise. when it's for the last few months. it's going to be a little bit of a vehicle to also pull not on the la on the machine on a phone call to make sure. so google don't film 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 mom and he's even larger than a jonah whom you are doing is wrong. but you don't,

the one that you did when it was 3 don't, didn't even do it will be good to meet with you on the on the get for 3 north country on that's does mostly for just a larger than a drawn loan, cuz you only for the larger kids and it's right on it seems like one of the things on us lunch for not going to charge. you just really just wanted to close on a let it go. did you see me? your address 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's week near now by the one month, one month. oh, wow. yeah. and do you have a lot of baby the most because of my my day as them show them for 6 feet. eric wants to show us the most common symptoms amongst his flock. they want ice morn. l. line. yeah, for the most amazing non know what to montgomery the metro this is yet told the next is the fund number one and is it n w still got a pencil of mine? so yoga s s pie one at atlanta is atlanta. georgia can actually run and i'm, and so when you see this every day,

what do you think i'm filling out because the promotion and hello lenders pill and i will go under my toilet buddies up city. 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 anymore. 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 is like an archive, an archive environment. 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 take some samples from to goes intended to be used to meet consumption, including one who is blind. ok. so

i come up with the results shown as well. i think 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 those immigration eligible for most drink? we also phone calls. strange understand with the saw was company will make perfect sense. so what can you, what can you look for as almost all the models? i did the important mentors like you're going now i'm your lead. you know, i see me which are fairly talk basically we, we don't need to get them to once we get them,

then that 3 for now. okay. right. as he waits for the another says my return to the investigation in part to 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 scandalous 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. tv is a colossal ben, i guess on an online part of the debate for pacific people, the ocean is our identity and the source of well being. we are the when no healthy get off the table, it's a shoot insight atmosphere. people are demoralized, they're exhausted, and many health care workers are experiencing p, tfc like symptom. jump into this dream and julian global community. if you're
