8:20 am
control. so yes, a very tense situation. the farmers protest, they have dwindled in numbers in recent months. we don't see the hundreds of thousands of people blocking the major highways around delhi like we used to font. they are expected to pick up momentum in the state where this happened in order for the age, because there was an important election that's taking place there early next year. and the laws that promise have been protesting against this is going to be a major issue in this election, which is so important, full prime minister in the day that mores by the agenda party, because of their probation. india's largest, it's most populous state. it is a bit. thank you very much. as elizabeth put on them, bringing this up to date from new delhi, they're called dorian governments meeting indigenous leaders in rural community groups in a dispute over the future of the countries mining industry. protests are threatening to march unless the government blocks mining projects. they say cause massive

environmental damage. venezuela reports the idyllic town of law must said that one osiris high in the an these mountains has become a battle ground, the flashpoint between those who want to exploit it may by golden copper reserves. and those who want to maintain a way of life unchanged for generations. although there is no good m o community, any legal need, we don't want legal or legal mining because of the environmental damage they cause we've survived for a long time without gold. without mining, we live from the food we produce. they don't get that yellow. they know about a legal mining. thousands of illegal minors invaded this territory in search of gold leaving behind massive devastation when government forces evicted them 2 years ago. now bigger legal mining concerns want to exploit the copper reserves, they believe a here providing jobs a much needed for an income yaki. i can't very well there are people who were previously working in legal mining who are now disguised as environmentalists who
8:22 am
don't want to give all of us the chance to work and look at the situation has become complicated. some local people do welcome ham ryan, exploration of mining, the ecuadorian subsidiary of the australian company hancock. prospecting. many more do not accusing the government of applying laws for the silence their protest. less than most men. unfortunately, there's been a systematic persecution of all the defenders of this land. when we raised our voices about the reality of what was happening that were being invaded by multinational companies. they denounced us with the only intention of silencing and intimidating us. some of these local residents have the support of many of ecuador indigenous communities. is a situation also being watched across latin america with similar disputes are playing out. and in the global arena, with the cop 26th climate change conference opening in a few weeks time in glasgow. sing music a case that the reporter was double to devastate this territory,
8:23 am
would only feed climate change, which is why the indigenous movement and the farming sectors have decided to and life and not contribute to polluting the environment. and henry says he's not responsible for the damage caused by a legal mining and the violent anti mining protesters have prevented them from presenting their clean, socially responsible proposals to the people in this community. i believe that the context is how to enforce governments with a strong arm control for the companies to do are the mining exploitation and in mining exploration process in the most friendly environmental way and the most reasonable social manner. the ecuadorian government insists it must exploit his mining potential to create jobs and income to help his battered economy emerge from the pandemic. opponents say mining will bring on the pollution and misery. they say will take to the streets if they don't reach agreement and talk to the government,

the conflict, the could have repercussions far beyond this small community than to find their al jazeera, allows clean up operations begun after a large oil spill off the southern coast of california and the 600000 liters of oil of spelled into waters of orange county since saturday is come from a broken pipeline connected to an offshore oil rig. investigators are still looking for the cause of the leak vaccination rates in the u. s. have been climbing as more work places are leisure facilities need people to show proof of a job. but thousands of people are still expected to lose their jobs in health care and education because of vaccine mandates. as kristen salumi explains that are worried about what the impact will be on a tough labor market. health care workers were among the 1st to be offered vaccines in the united states, and many consider it a privilege as well as a responsibility. i believe. yeah, the mandate is a good idea. i think people should get access to it, but now it's no longer
8:25 am
a choice in new york. it is a state and soon to be federal requirement in the medical field. yeah, i think everybody could linda, you know, i'm here if we get them there, one of your flow, the flow here at erie county medical center in buffalo, new york, where the 95 percent of the staff are compliant. but the rest have been placed on unpaid leave. the hospital has had to cut back on some procedures. and the overall is going to affect the people that need the help. it's going to affect the patients and the people that are sick of nursing homes that are going to be understaffed. a lot of surgeries that are being cancel. so if the patients that are being affected by more than anybody else to ease staffing concerns, new york governor has signed an executive order loosening restrictions on who can work in certain positions. but she's defending the mandate, which will also affect teachers. can we just say that that is a basic right that everyone has to know that they'll be faith when they enter
8:26 am
a health care facility, or you have your elderly parents or grandparents in a nursing home that they will not get sick because of someone who's charged with their care still, physicians, assistant, deborah conrad says she's been safely serving on the front lines of the pandemic without the vaccine and would rather lose the job she's held for nearly 2 decades than be forced to comply. she says she wants to see more long term studies on vaccine side effects. i have all my childhood vaccines, my updated vaccines. my children have their vaccines. just because i'm questioning this one, which is a new technology for a new virus. doesn't make me an anti vaccine person, it just makes me somebody that wants informed consent. the state of new york actually has one of the highest vaccination rates in the country. so if there are compliance and staffing issues here, the question is, what will that mean for the rest of the country where there's more of vaccine resistance and mandates from the federal government have yet to go into effect even
8:27 am
before president joe biden mandated shots for businesses with more than 100 workers, however, dozens of high profile companies from united airlines. disney had already begun insisting their workers get vaccinated. the federal mandates alone will cover as many as 100000000 americans. and if they achieve their goal and sure there are enough healthy people available to fill any vacancies. kristen salumi al jazeera buffalo, new york, and spanish governments pledge $239000000.00 to help the island of la palmer recover from the devastation brought by its erupting volcano. prime minister petro sanchez, made the commitment during a visit to the island, via her volcano, continues to spew red hot lava and thick clouds of black smoke. more than 2 weeks after it began erupting. officials say the explosions are getting more intense from la palmer and hold reports. volcanic ash and toxic gas explode into the sky,
8:28 am
6000 meters up and the wind can carry it almost anywhere. for the island of la palmer, that means everywhere. here on the southern shoreline, on the opposite side of the island, are salt pans carved into black volcanic rock. this farm faces disaster. much of the crop has been ruined by falling ash. oh, got a crash on top, thought up betty, do else, boss, i beg of you though? undress explains that the salt was about to be harvested for now. this year's yield will be down by up to 40 percent. so rank? he said yes. oh no besedia. oh, describe it as a nightmare, an awful dream of to such a bad year with covert when we're trying to recover. we get this situation which is unbelievable. agriculture makes up around half of law. palmer's economy, most of it bananas clinging to volcanic hillsides where they thrive. here to the
8:29 am
falling, ash has caused terrible damage tearing into banana skins, making them i'm salable, and worst. the love of flow has cut off irrigation channels to some of the islands . most prolific plantations, that leaves tourism, but the beaches are empty. package holiday makers, absent, it's the beginning of the season on an island, famous for winter, some. yet in the marina's, the boats are tied up. normally we're just going out get this whole boat in full with the 60 people every day from monday until sunday. yes. like 2 times a day, 3 times a day, 2 days after that the bill comes blows. we just stop. we still fight in from the banana. sorry, was to find the friend that make boom from the volcano there. and now we tried to, we am, you know, together and fight the situation and started again. but as i told you before,
8:30 am
we don't know what is going to happen, how long's going to be the situation. images of the volcano being consumed around the world will certainly help to put this canary island on the map. but that doesn't mean that tourists are flocking, hear anything but right now. and in the wake of huge losses generated by the pandemic. that is a tragedy for many. what remains are volcano tourists, many from neighboring islands and mainland spain. but this eruption could last months and they will not sustain an economy that for the time being is going up in smoke. jonah, how out is era? la palmer. ah, this is al jazeera. these are the top stories, millions of li documents are casting a spotlight and financial dealings of the world's rich and powerful sh. the so
