left the capital, and he's headed to the front line to lead his in battle guns just hours after the united nations already needed evacuation of international european struggling with a new current virus outbreaks. germany said 200000 dest waterfront and benevolence among those 3. for the reporting record number of the defection and human rights watch has accused the banner rules and poland are violating the rights of migrating . can i find him? because the watch, strong documented appeases on both sides of the border, we 13 people have died during the band off. china has firmly opposed the us for inviting taiwan to its summit for democracy that is set to be held next month. raging views the self hold island is part of a territory. the by an administration is using the virtual conference to promote the upholding of rights and freedoms worldwide. china and russia have not been invited to long. ginger and china is firmly opposed to the united states invitation

to taiwan authorities to participate in the so called summit for democracy. there is only one china in the world. the government of the people's republic of china is the sole legal government representing all of china and taiwan is an inalienable part of chinese territory. the one china principle is a universal recognized consensus of international relations. taiwan has no other status and international law aside from being a part of china and fisher's my force in washington d. c. allen is moved by the white house and good china. and it comes at a time when it seemed like things were improving slightly between beijing and washington. well, this message isn't. it is a message from a bite white host that sees china as a threat to democracies in the area. certainly the taiwan is, is delighted by this the, the united states as a one china policy, which essentially says a, we recognize we acknowledge that china has

a claim on taiwan, but doesn't recognize that claim as such. and that leads to some tension between beijing and washington. now it's just about a week ago that there was a bipartisan group who presented its report to congress about the relationship between the united states and china. one of the things, the very top of the agenda was the fact that they believed the people's liberation army. the chinese army is at a state where it could invade taiwan. and you'll remember that president g very recently said that if any has read lines were crossed, then they could take some drastic action during the summer between president biden and president g. president biden said that they would defend taiwan. so in certain that neither country wants to go down the road of conflict, and this means that there's going to be a lot of horror ear talked about this invite. there's going to be the usual denunciations, but in the, in neither country wants to go to war. so they'll tucker away,

come back to again at some point and hope that the groups that are working after that bipartisan summit that was held by tele conference actually comes up with some grounds that both the united states and china can agree on and move some progress forward to on this relationship, which as you see has been very strained over the last couple of years. thank you for their talent fish alive in washington. my cobalt is one of the most sought after minerals in the world. it's used in batteries that power electric cars and mobile phones. much of it comes from democratic republic of congo, but mining there is dangerous work. algae here is malcolm web reports from co, i'm of mine in lieu of by the province. these miners work at one of the largest informal cobalt mines in the democratic republic, a candidate for the 1st time. some of them have been given safety jackets and hot hands and the manages planned to limit the number that things didn't go to plan.

thousands of mine is once worked here. none of them can afford to miss a day's digging. there are a few jobs in congo, growing demand for electric vehicle batteries. which cobalt is used in the men about $4.00 a day. about a face of the countries cobalt extracted by hand with unknown minds. most of them are illegal. nobody counts the accidental death. the government says it wants to formalize the sector and by cable, the government is going through the price. the government is going through the production, the government's going through, everything it has to be of there was, anyone can come in the country and do everything they want to do. the government says it will open you off, isn't all mining sites, not care? what will happen to the existing mind?

also a warrant that we shut down for breaking roof. that's why they're providing hot half for the 1st time. we met the man who controls this mind. the hotel he's building in the nearby city of callaway. the. he says he's frustrated by the government plan called general cobalt enterprise, or e d. c. c h, i met. if e g c prioritizes creating a monopoly, it will be a problem for us. the priority is to formalize the artistic mining sector. we don't want to be blogs, we will continue selling minerals to those who actually finance our operations for them. i use it aboard less, but because i'm not back at the mine, the shift is cut short. managers say they need more time to make his face point thing work there about 200000 dollars, a little online at about a 1000000 depending on the phone number of people are getting very rich

when the cobol mining industry. no. okay. so the table here. so barely be paid anything for the shore shift if a tool there's no order here. we need order because we have too many. we need to buy the people in the group to work on different days. more appealing for better conditions so we can work properly. none of us have a good position in life. if we weren't here, we'd be stealing things in town to survive. many wondering if any reforms will actually happen and mine as a wondering if they'll make them safer or cost them that job. malcolm web al jazeera kalama, mine democratic republic of congo. so why is cobalt so important to democratic republic of congo? well, the country produces 2 thirds of the world's supply and cobalt has become one of the most sought after minerals in the world. demand is projected to saw by

a $100000.00 tons in the next 4 years as because of a global drive towards cutting carbon in from oil and gas to move towards cleaner energy. cobalt offers. the offices says it's used in batteries for electric vehicles and to store energy from wind and solar power. it's also used in millions of products, including mobile phones and laptops. but right school, say child labor, federal accidents, violence and corruption, a common india congress, mining operations. while i speak to abby box in about this, she's a research associate at the international institute for environment and development . joining us from london, i'd be very good to have you with us on august. the company's government is promising reforms to improve safety and security in co out mind. do you think it will actually be following through with these reforms? moment, claire, what's going to happen with some of those reforms? the changes that have been introduced have been talked about now for

a significant period of time that we get to actually see how they're going to be implemented. one of the key reforms that have been introduced is a standard which is set for drafting many of the challenges, but your video spoke about such as dangerous working conditions, such as child labor. but the standard that's been set is actually relatively high. so again, what with mentioned in the video that the risks that many of these minus aren't actually able to meet the standard that's been set right. and as such will do fell into black market. this quite is quite a significant one. tell us a bit more about the conditions and challenges we saw some of it in in malcolm's report. what are they facing? these are tis no miners and what exactly in your view needs to happen to regulate mining methods and working conditions. as an example, in the research that we did these tunnels that a cobalt mining is underground lighting. so some of these time you can reach up to

900 meters. so that tunnel they'll be many tunnels across the bay area which will be criss crossing against each other across each other minus day down there for $2.00 to $3.00 days at a time. the conditions extremely hot and extremely dusty, you know, and protective clothing is just not warm because movement is very difficult. they stay down there as a safe 2 to 3 days. so they actually leaking down there. they rely on oxygen generates as a note or notice to get oxygen. and then when the cobalt needs be brought up to the surface level, you put 100 people down these tunnels at any one time no doubt that these conditions need to be tackled along with for example, issues of child labor, sexual discrimination against women who aren't able to mind, but how we go about that is going to need real fundamental changes to the law to the way government operates within the way the market structured to the culture and society within the deal. because there's also the issue of corruption, of course,

i mean this year, cobalt prices jump from 40 percent more than $20.00 a pound. but not a lot of it, i imagine is going to local communities know and a fair price to cobalt. mine is really important and it's not something that has actually been discussed enough either within government circle or within supply chain companies. and those discussions need to be have and they need to happen with mine is involved to. mine is, do you need to be getting a fair share of the value of that code that's going into electric vehicles at the end of the day. and that value needs to reflect the dangerous work from the hard working conditions and actually be able to provide an incoming livelihood for these people. thank you so much for talking to us about this b buxton, a research associate at the international institute for environment and development . thank you very much for your time. a major shortage of chips is affecting global supplies of cars, mobile phones, and other electronic devices. it's from to the south korean, the electronics giant,

samsung to build a multi $1000000000.00 semiconductor factory in the us state of texas. and apple is suing the israeli cyber for any so group over a controversial hacking tool. the tech giant says the company's pack as a software trunk and targeted uses in the us. apple is the latest in a string of companies and government to take legal action against the spyware producer. and it still has denied any wrong doing, jody west. these chief executive officer, global risk cyber risk. she says it's one of the strongest pets. any company has taken so far. it's very significant because the software was developed to target i phones and android mobile phones. so if apple can succeed and get a ban or an injunction, so that the n a so software cannot be used on their phones, it will effectively kill the n s o market for the software. so it's

a very big move by apple. one that i'm very glad to see them take, i think it's very important. they're trying to hide their fear mongering and they're trying to hide behind terrorists and pet files. and the fact is, they aren't trotting out examples of terrorism and head of files and their technology successfully defeating that. what we're seeing is governments that have used this technology to suppress human rights and civil rights. and ways that are countered to democratic principles. and certainly in the united states, national security interests. so they are just simply trying to hide behind israeli defense licenses for the technology and also claiming that it can be used to catch bad guys. while the bad guys may be in a so venezuela's elections were held under better conditions than those of previous balls. that according to european union observers, sundays election was the 1st in nearly 4 years to include opposition, figures addressable reports, some class it was the report,

every one had been waiting for. for the 1st time in 15 years, there you appear on union of serve the regional elections in venezuela and presented their preliminary findings. lastly, a few on their san berlin babel the elections were in better conditions in comparison with previous elections. the electoral council that was renewed in may 2021. it's the most balance council in 20 years. the political campaign was filled by the excessive use of state resources. even the law says how campaign should be handled. there were no sanctions to the violations. on sunday, venezuelans voted to choose mayors and governors across the country. they. e. u mission was invited by the electoral council and by the opposition who agreed to participate for the 1st time in 4 years. the report by the european union of servers is for many a 1st step towards the dialogue and future elections in this country. but the

report also indicate that even though the elections happened with efficiency, the whole process was affected by lack of independence in the judiciary. and also lack of respect for the rule of law, something that affected the equality and transparency of the process. the government says the elections were an example of democracy. their ruling socialist party, 120 of the 23 governorships. the opposition wanting the total national vote, even though 60 percent of the population did not participate. divisions within the opposition prevented them from winning more states. all our position leader embry gabriella says the election was not a defeat. now, what is your object that a salvador position obtained them one for bell? this is a beth refers in the last 17 years. we never did these results before. the opposition of not falling, who was falling as my little, the big defeated for the government. i can honestly say nicola, my luis,

desperate to regain international credibility was a murder co, if with what they got him. our nicholas madura was willing to given more governorships in exchange for validity of the electoral process and himself. this is not a transparent election from the perspective of a liberal democracy. it begins with the electoral council that has 2 members out of 5 of the opposition. we celebrate those 2, but they are a minority. can you imagine any country accepting that venezuela is trying to recover from an economic crisis, but sanctions from the united states and the european union complicate the government plans. protests and sanctions have not been able to force mother would are out of office, which is why the your position is back in the polls that he said, well, i'll just see dad kirk, us still ahead on al jazeera in sport, manchester united qualify for the champions league knockout landing. this is mike, she's sucking their manager. ah,
