9:39 am
digging deep into the frozen earth. they believe there's a huge deposit of valuable, rare earths under ground, sweetened hopes to profit from the deposits and drive forward the green energy transition. the protocol beside it, but the let we're not saying it will be easier. problem free ammonium and yes, it could be hard for the saw me think about us all, but this is about more than reindeer herders are lights about sweden in the you, ala. perhaps you everyone around the world has to die the full shuttle on. we have to stop admitting so much dear to hannah ford and we all have to make sacrifice was the beautiful thing. oh, the town of ketone on north of the arctic circle is at the center of sweden's mining industry. iron ore has been mind here for more than a 100 years. now the minds are slated to expand to extract the rare earth. you

9:41 am
and the battle is still sad to lose your own history. hard seen historian, it's even worse to lose your livelihood, which is what diona is worried about. it's something he often talks about with carving. a herder from the next village heard is also at risk and she believes it's not truly necessary. oh, it was the bird. yeah. um we have to start using and recycling the rare earths. we already have a population that are only one percent of rare earth to recycle the we need to do better with recycling before we destroy even more land and water in our me for started me or my youngest daughter also hopes to become a reindeer. heard her one day, the sammy passed down their knowledge through the generations. down our plans to

continue protesting the mine to protect the sammy's way of life here in sweden's far north. oh yes rick bunch, i'm us off in staying and from free stop fighting. we stop believing in the future, lumber, your little the ranger heard them at a lot of you to roast of each other, but we have to fight for that so that we can keep us going. can approach at www. ah, when the snow melts, the herds will move high into the mountains, and yonah, alas, we'll go with them all over the world. more professional fire fighters are meant. there is a misconception that women can't handle the physical demands of the work. spain is no exception, but that might soon change catalonia the country is northeast, has decided that 40 percent of new recruits should be women. this for the off,
9:43 am
a mixed brack best drill, which today is quite an exception, might soon become the norm. what the new initiator has certainly sparked the debate . some say the kaplan government has gone a bit too far in the name of equality. others say it's high time for spain to step up and close this gender gap. o, the fire department here in the northeastern spanish city of garden warriors is conducting a training dro. it's all in a day's work for maria casias. she is one of catalonia, as few women firefighters. soon there will be more thanks to a new gender quota one that i began nanny, my valente allied to this, and when i was a young girl at the, i knew i couldn't have imagined becoming a fire fighter. glendale of women didn't do that again. was that a bit of it? but i think when people see women doing this job able encourage other women to give it a try. they have what they have said of only dog when they say i was good. and ah,
9:44 am
for now though, women are still an exception in the catalogue fire department, they make up less than 3 percent of the 4th. to day, maria is training with female firefighters from the region. in this drill they have to rescue an injured driver using heavy equipment with high intensity work that takes a lot of skill. plenty of money isn't i was a gay man basil. my kid is, i see the on my know when he started 7 in the morning. you never know what's coming and not ease him, but as a, an ah and did any work in a teen next to us. so you never alone go nike book i in august as solo the catalog, regional government has now introduced
9:45 am
a quota to attract more women to the fire department. you happy to know from 40 percent of new vacancies are slated for female applicant will he? maria munoz is pleased about the new quota. she's one of the few high ranking women in the department and heads a team of men in the command center isn't ha ha nikki boy on the on teamwork is key to this job. the more 1st we are seeing the more efficiently we will handle emergencies that scientifically proven later on, but every out allowed is different or any. so will benefit from having people with a variety of talent, psychopathic, additive, buford, embassy, about the, there's a strength and diversity. and that is when i tell my friends, ah, but the quota has ignited debates in the department. many male firefighters say that entry requirements for men and women should be the say, they say that's what equality means. they, oh hey, new zambrano of the civil servants union believes the quota overshoot,
9:46 am
its goal lateral. he had integrated him. i think that he can be able to, society should approach this more intelligently and look for talented people, whether they're men or women. think a settlement it is cuz we need to change a way of thinking that in what's called a good doctor. and it doesn't matter if they're a man or a woman, they want to tell nobody. oh no, i need good firefighters, whether male or female, nobody own um, okay, our government administrators need to focus on ability and skills. the videos, that's what our society needs are stuck in this head if you can make c collateral through that bethune. oh yeah, it's a hot topic among the firefighters. maria doesn't want to comment. unlike her male colleagues, got a yellow castle vicki into women with lower grades might pass the admission test just because sponsor reserved for them. if you were on record manada, and a man with a better grade might not get in and i'm glad we'll get another level parent desperate about to lose the top brass in the department say that's not a worry. the quota sends a message,
9:47 am
but skills and aptitude are what count. a female candidate will only get the job if she's just as qualified as a man. at today's meeting, the head of the catalog fire department has good news. i see on the last year just one and 9 candidates was a woman this year. it's one out of 4 feet. my page. ok it. well, it's just that the answer is holger. to do nominee ultra napoleon was because we have a problem and we need to solve it, didn't it? he didn't throw the if can finance guns. we can't wait for the free market to fix it. but he seemed in 10 or 15 years, we'll still have hardly any women in the fire department off invoice. so we're trying to speed up the process in the rattled, put official den automobile 15. 0 that. yeah, we bought a camera for our rights, is the rallying cry at this training session. the women firefighters of catalonia take pride in their achievements. we live in them and it doesn't
9:48 am
matter if we're a man or a woman when we run toward the fire, when others are running away go to. yeah. maria says it takes courage and passion to work as a fire fighter. and she's delighted that soon more women will be working at her side. and now to another traditionally male doing the football club, newcastle united had long languished in the bottom of the english premier league, but in 2021. a saudi arabian back decor, well made nuke also the world's richest football club overnight. some long time fans leg daniels dragon on celebrating the newcastle is now bankrolled by a saudi arabia public investment fund. and daniel suspects that the saudis might have had other motives than purely a passion for the sport. new castle is back,
9:49 am
fans of the english football club, r, rediscovering their pride in the team. for years newcastle united have been struggling, but that's all changed since a saudi consortium took over the club and shelled out some 300000000 euros to sign top talent. i feel that would be way of all for us to long time, but now it's a, it's just an immense failure. we just want to see some trophy back here. let's over . what about like i saw the good but not everyone's happy, including daniel spragons for 30 years. he was a regular at the stadium. now he just comes by for a quick look and then leaves as a sign of protest. i can sit within more inside the groans. it's, it's, it's disappointed sod, buddha, i feel i can't be there. i feel uncomfortable. it's about yes of our values. hundreds of other fans feel the same way. these days,
9:50 am
daniel watches matches at the local pub. in essence, the saudi state now holds the majority stake of his club. but i think once and of a country, estate takes ownership of your close you way, but you consume how they behave and how that impacts on on you and what it means to your city. saudi arabia's motives are, after all, not just about the game. the desert nation has enormous oil wealth, but it draws criticism internationally for its human rights record. the saudi prime minister, crown prince mohammed bin solomon, has a reputation for ruthlessness. it said there is an evidence he ordered the murder of jamal kashodi, a critic of the regime. the crown prince denies the allegations, but they're bad for his image. that's just one of the reasons the saudi sovereign wealth fund bought new castles, beloved football club. the public investment fund has one mission to ensure saudi
9:51 am
arabia's prosperity, the oil reserves will dry up at some point. the crown prince runs the fond personally journalist aaron stokes has been observing how the new saudi owners have been burning. their image invested money in the plan squads behind the scenes. i mean, even, you know, change the name of the ball to sheer us ball was a big, big thing, put the hand in the pocket and really helps you know, the fonts food bank that donate at a 150000 a couple months ago. a fan zone will also be built next to the stadium. a move that one over many, a skeptic, a certain thing about it. so from the looked day we know with the schools and the housing fair, that i will, i think, you know, if you come back in 15 as time this area i imagine will be fully renovated and regenerate at new castle is an ideal location. the city desperately needs investment, especially in housing,
9:52 am
and there's plenty of land for building and desirable areas. but getting hold of it is not so easy. didn't need to buy a football club to do that. there are appropriate channels through which to go. but of course, those channels are bureaucratic, they take a long period of time, it's much easier. he can say, hey, come to the game on saturday. it's a great welf building relationships. it's a great way of establishing a dialogue. it's a great way of influencing the benefits that come from owning a football club are also evident in manchester. man city is owned by the united arab emirates. they bought land from the city and a central location and built 1600 apartments. richard golding and his colleagues took a closer look at the deal, what they found shocked than things that they released the quite low. right. so all in all that was leased for just from the 5000000 pounds. the city says it couldn't get a better price. the club owners will now profit for years to come and we estimate
9:53 am
is around $10000000.00 pals here, and red is being paid to them, which is a big casper, like a lot of investors were railey, jump at the chance for them. so, owning a football club can open doors at home and even abroad if the club is a winner. ah, the saudi arabians are in the business of financial or economic in here return on investment, or maybe a political return on investment. daniel spragons is disappointed in his city. the way she sees it, newcastle has succumbed to saudi sports washing. oh, but he's not about to jump on that bandwagon. bring dancing is all about borrow all creativity and rhythm. this acrobatic dance was born in the 1970s on the streets of the bronx in new york city. but then no one would have ever guessed that these moves would one day become an olympic discipline
9:54 am
