6:15 am
as i look at the top stories with following this, our mass process have followed the passing into law of legislation limiting the part of israel's supreme court. the legislation is part of the raft of reforms by the government that is deeply divided is ready society well, that's all for me and the team coming up next is that documentary. so i'm looking at the use of environmentally friendly, unfriendly chemical element of cult an electric cos. i'm told me on lot of both for myself and the same by the 10 years. yeah, we are all set we are watching to see all the to bring you the story behind the new we own about on volume information for free might do to name
6:16 am
the or the thousands of people in the democratic republic of congo, d r c, supplying materials from global resolution, with the mining
6:17 am
t as in high demand around the world. cobalt industrial countries urgently need the manual to make that change. the house of all the electric vehicles and the race to slow climate change. cobalt has become key to the transition away from fossil fuels. who's paying the price the the
6:18 am
cold lazy is the cobalt capital of the world. way here in the house with the called the build, an industrial region location, the southern part of the sea and neighboring sand, beyond a century of mining shapes and landscape. this is my 1st trip to always see what struck me most was just how the whole city was built around the mining industry around and on top of these, these minerals to adjust this very, very, very strong feeling that these people, the people living they should be benefiting from this extraordinary wealth, which is generating prosperity for chinese companies, european companies, american companies, but they're suffering, they're not the ones benefiting from this. you know, this particular came home and in some parts of the city where homes as a being demolished, to make way, fix the expansion of industrial mines. it comes home in the parts of the city where
6:19 am
people are digging down into the basement. so the houses are under ground to access the cables. it's extremely dysfunctional. i'm as engineers to is had a program on corporate accountability and the role that companies play in human rights abuses around the world for about 15 years now. and we've, we had done previous projects in the d. c, looking at the mining industry but, but primarily focused on the, the big industrial mines. you know, during the reading about those things, some basic research about this revealed to me, you know, obviously it's not a secret for anyone in the d. c. but the, the autism mining sacked to was becoming increasingly large, particularly when it came to cobalt. the chris, the diggers were risking their lives in the health to take this, this,
6:20 am
this mccloud, they're also not receiving probably very few receiving a set price for that labor. they're being exploited financially. we found the children, the youngest 7 rate, but also involved in this, in this industry, or the doing that because the forced by the 2nd the, the main point is that the report with it as much as 20 percent of those codes was coming from autism minds in the d. c, we wanted to know where this google went, who was buying this, which companies which tech companies, you know, the mobile phone manufacturers, the laptop manufacturers, we using this cable in the batteries and what would they doing to, to understand the supply chain. and understand these conditions the response we got. so this report drawing the links to, you know, from child labor,
6:21 am
autism mining the cable industry linking these mines to these famous brands, had a massive media pickup, much more than we were expecting. calling the m as to reports of 2016, the mining industry was forced to make its supply chains were transparent. then in 2019 d. c. t 4 to get the most important companies that are formed in coal lazy. the aim was to support them in tracing cables. how dementia, woods, due diligence, due diligence is a process. web buy companies are suppose to map the
6:22 am
supply chains or the business relationships and operations. and identify in what ways those the business relationships or supply chains might be linked to human rights abuses. and if that means go all the way to the point of a extraction, then so be it. many manufacturers commission to service provider all c global to discover the conditions under which the cobalt was being mined. the company monitors industrial mines and just trying to integrate the hot seasonal mines in june conditions programs. one of the mines audited by aussie is global has made all the due diligence criteria, the pilot mind in custody will a district of coal lazy in 2014. a resident here discovered a vein of cobalt which was already attracted, as many as 15000 prospect is to ensure the district didn't collapse and to keep
6:23 am
children of a the provincial government expropriated the prophecy. it then transferred operation of the mind to hawaii cobalt, which we settled the residents as part of the deal. the chinese company is relying about teasing will mine incorporates to extract the initial while i use in binds, what's produced and has commissioned asi is mobile with its due diligence. it's good for the company's image company he'd come on to find from amnesty international selling coal mine using child labor now for spaces in costume to no longer receive lights. that's the list. they're still at the mercy of the chinese who set the price for what they bought. was a good the something like, how much does it cost is to claim a shaft like the some that people up with the $5000.00 gun forgot. send me 350002400000 con, please frank,
6:24 am
seek you more. i will keep you guys. did you say it'd be killed or wouldn't the scaffold and it's to reinforce the want to start the funds. how about this? i mean, that costs around 200000 francs. those are the funds i have to know before that we pay that tops and all the rent money they may be able to get. we need 3 scaffolds and all of that. but as i've been doing it, i'd be 12, that's fine. 100000 francs to support the sean. i can actually how much does the cooperative cover look good. i have to go to, oh god, i get came to the co operative doesn't camera boxes. mm. so how much is left for you then when i get into this? well, i know what to do now. got a new book just enough to pay for a manual fund. now we're getting to the mine and laundry. so said the we look clean one eye size, can i get the flu? i see, i see cause say that this is good luck. just don't have to meet, you know, it's nice to see it guys. yeah. beautiful. yeah. i mean, it doesn't offer any future and there's not
6:25 am
a problem on the next. you don't spend anything because we don't do the what are we supposed to live on? well, if i knew me on the sign on 0, we should data companies like us cs global has a numerous pallet in the new market at the q diligence service, listed above a given the continually changing our seasonal mines in complex supply chains. how can one guarantee genuine pricing? there were different ways in which the downstream companies try to dodge their responsibility. one of those is to hire consultants, expensive consultants who basically conduct the due diligence themselves to the reporting. and that's kept, that's the one with the links from the company itself. the other thing that companies do is joint industries schemes. so they're doing that with all the other companies in the sector. and they, they create a body which does the due diligence for them all or promotes a set of standards,
6:26 am
which they will sign up to. and then it's just a paper exercise. they can all say yes. we agree with these standards which signed up to the standards, but it doesn't necessarily lead to the change we want to see on the ground. and that's why there is a role for organizations like amnesty international, but particularly a role for organizations like don't as in, in crazy because you need the voices and the, the expertise of lawyers and activists. and scientists and community members themselves. and mine is in the d. c. on the standing. what's going on and exposing what's going on. because we've got to see that change that it's not good just having, you know, a fancy report on a website. as in the past, the emphasis continues to be on child labor. with good reason. there was still thousands of children working in the small mines in the law,
6:27 am
but if many in cios say that as a result, the other problems which cannot be solved would you diligence like forced resettlement without appropriate compensation. environmental pollution and corruption are pushed into the background. and these all kick sees a key, so let me know and on a sick double to move in the become a cause, a very reserves when it comes to this topic. and that's just for the example. now you the, the, for example, they've been farms organized by the o e c. d on this very issue of responsible procurement of mineral looking to show up under to do and go through it know kind of discussion on corruption. can you find a representative of the auto industry waiting to sit next to me and explain his industry's point of view as well? how could they then, well, hope hopefully they'll fit the policy. do you think the overall work? yes, it's good. the sol. so there's a topic is practically to do because everyone noticed that the problem effect to launch part of the cobalt supply chain, the vision logical,
6:28 am
but it wondering of come the least natural resources is nothing new. more than 60 is built in colonial rules in which themselves from the comb, cuz resources after independence was declared in 1960, a new type of plundering began to dictate him a book to assist to safeco and his friends saw from both billions and profit from the station we know company is inconvenient. in 1997, the whole design competing has ceased palate and a war for account. off the computer was assassinated in 2001. his son is joseph, became president. he restored peace and stimulated the mining sector in order to feel government cost was jason mean was bankrupt and mean
6:29 am
in 2002 good. it turns out that jake, i mean, was just as broke as the congolese government platform amicus and not just economically in the bottom of the, the world bank forced reforms on the governmental it. they said that they said us going to, yes, you have the minerals have it finally, but not the resources to make the sector reliable. re open your country up to multinational corporations muskets that prevent worked well for us because the congolese government already had his hands in the mining business and could earn dividends as well as the diesel. but i didn't mean you, you saw glen core in 1st quantum or among the multi nationals that came into the congo 1st. got to say to the ground, all the big ones came, but not to give the people the future. for monday, they all came to make deals, and as i said, i don't think they call it looks like don't you go back to school g is a little don't know you a full ago the in order to understand the cobalt sector, you 1st have to look at how the companies that are active today in the congo
6:30 am
success to obtain the mining licenses involved, especially the cobalt bison. so that's it is what i want to spend then just please keep the shows up. we're dumped and is ready. businessman named dan gal klaus it, he played sort of the mediator role between the multi nationals that were interested in licenses for carpet and cobalt and the congregation petitions who could make decisions about who called the license of this you know, just use it. but in many cases, this happened and let me guess you're not a multinational corporation. it's going to be at the swiss blanco group or the kinds of q ration research group. wanted to get some license that once and belong to the state companies. you're coming to that you gave me um maybe, but instead of selling the license directly to the corporation or holding around is bidding to find the best invest. uh it says, is it coming? did something that's known as a direct awarded contracts loan. so please, it is all the license a very low price to done capitelli. they don't need to have good connections to the phone with president joseph kabibi. ask of you just to push alex,
6:31 am
push it all that out. is it? yeah, won't use the closest you'll actually back off. he came to power in 2001. joseph could be another friend to den get got to was bringing new money into the congo at a time when the country urgently needed investment. he made a way for west and companies to enter the country in 2007 to form a global leader enroll materials. glenn cole received the best prospecting licenses in the country through get the boats became co shareholders in terms of mining. one of the goals as much as coal mines, glen cold, and loan, good media and soft to he negotiate has another mind deal with the congo. witness transaction became public. these very came up on the useful thorough she's raised by suspected get over bribing. the could be leverage shame regarding several
6:32 am
projects, sometimes even with the participation of a us investment fund. it's estimation to the companies government lo, smoking to be in us dollars during the cost of these deals. things became uncomfortable for catlin. and so as a result of those, he was placed under the sanctions and the other actors were also place a certain high officers of the could be a leverage game and others as well. but certainly he is the largest target. it was the largest target in terms of the value of the assets. he controls the u. s. which also wanted to invest in the congress filed lawsuits against and catholic under glen, cold britain in switzerland or also investigation. the company in 2022 . the swiss multi national and now it's sort of set aside $1500000000.00 us dollars for legal disputes. how do industrial groups like you me call in belgium,
6:33 am
which forces cobalt from plain cool views? that if there is a conviction, we would need to assess what is happening, we will do our own assessments as well. if the judge finds that the party is guilty and we will look into it and then make our our decision, of course. yeah. based on the legal outcome, please ask you this is all specific. i'm to come see if we did. that's around that disappointing to me key expressive means. imagine that you've got a company that fine go that's being mind using translate a nobody's bought it by it because the company hasn't been convicted to doing it is all fine just yes, i totally understand. now when it comes to child labor, you'll never hear the arguments, no conviction, no problem. but it's different with corruption that as long as no one gets convicted, it's fine, but the lid, you have a pull in. it is clear to us that corruption is not
6:34 am
a victimless crime. and so often that's how it's portrayed. it is money passing hands between middleman and corrupt, elite officials. but of course, at the end of that chain are frequently ordinary citizens who suffer quite dramatically as a result of the corruption and the corruption around the metal. coal, mine was no exception. middle coal only works with columbus long tiles of mine. trailing was deposited in coal ways, the junior built in colonial period. today the science has some of the richest you and the coffee bill. in the early 2, thousands, the canadian company 1st call to receive prospecting rights. it was the deal of the century. the tiling still contained 3 100000 tons of cobalt with the value of 2015 us toilets. and suddenly the could be the regime pulled the plug and the 1st quarter of it and withdrew the license. we now know from court documents and court
6:35 am
records, what happened? and what occurred is that the mining license had been stripped through the assistance of a company owned by don gartner, who saw this as a very profitable mine. he held it for a short period of time and then slipped it to a large multinational mining company then called your ration natural resources corporation, today called duration resources group, or e r g. and that company owns the mine today. but we know through court records, it was a mind that was corrupted away by don gartner, bribing congress, these officials, including congress, these judges, in order to obtain the mining permit. it will usually wanna know if it is all the way you need something back then several 100 was, were employed for the building, the new processing count in core ways, the universe and all these people suddenly lost their drops to death. we found the
6:36 am
home for the cause, the company you ration resources, great thing completed, the facility which from then on was known as medical co, battiata. despite all the sessions to the contrary, the 701st crunch. some workers who were fired with not to compensate is no rehired . they said it's that's in place. i don't know. so those are tailored mine, tailings. you know, that's the sparkling stuff. you know, it's worth. i agree. yeah. well uh we desert that the reason for the desert this is not the middle. but where does metal coal get? the cobalt wisdom is the key metal coal works back there must be a quite far away. yes. behind the smoke back there. that's where mental coal
6:37 am
started, the recovery later it went as far as here. oh, come on. yeah. so some of the old buttons is because the new project on the plaza, they need that goal. so we new projects such as metal coal, as on ethical. so we filed a lawsuit and fed and a cool you this. yeah, stand up as a low cost. it's an appeal to you to the collective consciousness depending on what possible monthly additional was the engine to us and all those involved. so not to confront the final consumers on international n g o's and the companies this was using the cobalt, but they should also consider the living conditions of local communities that are involved in its mining just but that, that i've, as it goes up and i hope that with our involvement funds, we can make the parties aware of the real problems that copper and cobalt mine in not just the issue of child labor to k c for i'm not saying that child labor isn't
6:38 am
a problem on that, but it's not the biggest problem in the sector body, people don't program, do you think that i'll put you. what do you expect from the court when i do not mean that it results the case? what that so we get paid at the r as in justice. yeah. and then money thing it is. uh huh. but what do you expect from the hearings that we have come up with and i'll get paid a couple then i'll get my severance. pay him up instead of paying and all at once to be paid and installment. they have to do 600 francs as it would have been a mess you sell from that normal, 600000 francs for getting fired with the company is going to go into the guns when you let down my food stamp. when i was to i and enough money to pay school fees for the children and to pay the doctor now, now i can no longer full to become sick. it's bad. i was even able to pay the child tax with my wages. i mean, i how can i find a new job without a blessing stop,
6:39 am
but that guys you what the me not, not taken by them. they just terminated the contracts without any compensation. honestly, if we didn't exist, i'll protect up really because they didn't pay anything further. i know we don't match it to them, but they're drawn up. they're not, you know, people are treated up. i see the prostate equal to be not. we are hoping for a great deal from this case and we'll hang in there until the end of the company has to admit it's a mistake and compensate us. it's about the phase. one is, i know that they're getting rich with what they're producing, they're so don't go to shoes. and we saw the people who built the factory in our poor doing 500 the left. so that's unfair. similar to what i'm hoping to finish out of it. good, that's as if you would work a field together with your children. they will put them in as i'm fine. then when it's harvest time, you go and get the neighbors kids. that's what's happening here. sick, a us at the point we still had work. we had access to medical care,
6:40 am
we are and enough to send our children to school on monday night going to you and i got fired and my daughter became very ill. come to us. i did all i could to see that she was treated in the hospital. i looked at the lot. they turned me away. it's fun, you know, or not if she's a, she died on the way home until they were going to my son died a year later. my opinion on of the that's my daughter. he and me that the disappear name was much, much worse. yes, she had malaria this a farm through the year. and that's him. what was his name separately, so i believe i really quick. what happened?
6:41 am
we had malaria and the yellow fever, my brother. yeah, it looks if there's alters few visual he died to be sure do to see was 8 years old. the width of the be of the 60 small donor for welcome to radio television, money comment. today we're talking about eco system. the can invest. what are the consequences of mining for the local population? today, our guest as professor bones are a toxicologist, and professor at the university of lubo, mushy professor. what were you doing here and go away? the walk was to see what sort of shows you have, what is it, is that what can i say or the bad? that if i 1st we assess the level of contamination of the eco systems that are
6:42 am
relevant for the population that i did. a guest saw a lady for the company and i saw the polluted of the waterways. i get put them in a so the plus so. so somebody's gonna, how contaminated are the fish that are in the cool book? and so the new take. yes, i don't see a nickel, so about the, the, for the quote, the nina. so after that we looked at people's house you, the 1st of us will give us. so i thought we wanted to see how much they've been affected by eating the fish weaving. in the dust and by the general contamination of their environment, they did the lucky that it didn't. so the professor sell us pump also has been investigation. the ecological and health impacts of coal release mining for 15 years working for several in ga us. it's something companies declined due diligence. don't take all that seriously. i look it up to the see girl, is that the, the old from here,
6:43 am
the acid flows down as far as the new river light, if you have a need in which blows into the congo in your village setup on the flow of google, and you would utilize it said it is active, even though with the volt, the people who lived there will tell you that they can smell the asset at night. did i see that? it was responsible for this ecological disaster? it said to investigate what is it uh say the commercial corporate company, 1st and foremost uh, it belongs to glen court. if i lost their plans over there and was gonna ask you the zip lucy, see the last. so that phone as long as you record it, but then when the basement is full, they open the drain. gonna do that. so is this because uh then the color of the water changes and this phone forms from the line that they dump into the basic, or deluxe realty, sometime through the rest of the country, maybe like the deluxe. don't put you near letting me put them. i meant to keep the peace value greater than 70 to the said mit is in prospects,
6:44 am
is what i mean. but i don't think it works because the toxic metals prevent the acid from being neutralized way allows. let's say that the lawyer, remember this sort of the blue decision about that. so they'll say, look at the water, the soil and the money. yeah, go to prevent this beautiful color shows that we continue to have a very serious problem here to talk risk. ready because this river flows into the condo to the flow of google said land, but congo is one of africa's most important river, lots for it, but it provides a large part of our country's water to be available to, to stick and resolve on. let me see what it's just about impossible for us to get an appointment with the authorities to deal with this issue on the demand, even here at the provincial level and the data that goes over this is less and then when the company wants an appointment on it gets when he immediately was that because the company pays for it to go to google and them up we see not see, it was and for the same reason. so you can almost rule out getting supports for the
6:45 am
activities of benji. oh, it's less safe to say under pressure from n g o is glenn. cool. finally confirmed teach of self cubic acid, but it said it didn't have any effects on the stock. so fission surrounding pounds are adults weekly. the company has already begun compensating victims and cleaning up the ponds. phyllis comp bones on his team to take that highly elevated co, both by using the blood and you're on the mine with this from crazy. in an article into to a new nature sustainability. they were pushing changes in the dna of children who didn't have the task, an indication of an increased risk to can. so today the professor is conducting tests on about a 100 prospectors. they were exposed to radio, radio i can scan it's released from rogers, which contains uranium, the fluids can yes, we have seen
6:46 am
a lot of up to finally emphasize. yeah. the less civics in the way you want it to become a guys equal to somebody that that's that you didn't couldn't give them up because he didn't give them up. what that looks like because i'm going to up what time? that's an m o e, and 90 a month. yep. a little my neck. you up a movie. you talk a little, you know, you're my mother's, you know, 10 and under book nicole, your 999. is that them we not be in the, in the little by single month of one and you're going to $99.00. you met and i'm offended phone, but not only get it, but what a demo. a 40 something because if it had some sort of problem, if we can't get a handle on the pollution, we're going to have a huge problem soon. it's about there won't be any life left in the rivers. i left, i don't even now most of the rivers and the former province of good tongue are
6:47 am
contaminated that the lazy does that what you sell in, not just here, but in cuba who's got plus to practically everywhere. they've my natural resources . are this assuming that that's a problem and also the most if we don't watch out the but this country is going to have an ecological and toxicological scandal. at a for table is the case of the land of thousands lakes. it's not just time to some of the largest oil reserves in units. it's also one of the continents most important sources of fresh water. a resource that could be threatened by mining in 2012, 1000, take to the rivers and lakes were destroyed when toxic sludge was released from the salt come on line, which belonged to the tennessee fire mining company. public pressure led to the mines closure until the tariff found the crew to close its authoration. 10 years
6:48 am
later, the victims of the disaster still waiting for compensation. news, i said, well, what's the state of the leg killed to our leg here? yes, it is. the money both, but hopefully it's not as bad as locker y'all be right now. really name because in italy, feel about that. it's full of algae again. in the fall of 2015, it was really bad. and for a few years now it's been getting worse again boy, and we had to take up and that's it would have been a waste of work otherwise doing today. i see, but as i still fish and not the only just diffused really me. yes, a separate catching so few now that it doesn't even cover our cost. i was so cool, we have force. so you think we have many a tech guy or after the keeps to suck a base and leaked nobody wanted our fish anymore. not even for free. fishing was just about dead die but ended on for about 3 or 4 years now. there's beneficial guns available, but we really got serious reservations about selling them out of the stuff and
6:49 am
wholesalers, having taken professionally caught fish for years anyway, suicide. now you've always got to be going to court hearings, yona. and yeah, if you want to call it that, it will, it will probably continue at the beginning of december and the district court goes, the 1st steering is over and the administrative court is also involved island or goes to own us. and then what do you have to say about the hearings? and i did go fully. i live to see the day they make a ruling model. they have done some at any rate in new york, and we've already been suffering as a result of the damage for 10 years and need or another way of doing a war of attrition through y'all say own so i could say that on the now that terra firma has taken over most of the insolvency, each one of the defendants has a team of 2 or 3 well known lawyers as an adult. the get out on really they've got ever said h p. p. partners and the most expensive law firms in the country. so let and i'll
6:50 am
just keep on fighting and fighting. i'm not going to settle for a letter that's understandable. it's unfair and wrong to your a ryan, most of the one and lost his case. even though he had expected reports that shows with the pollution due to the fish in the like how he earns his living in a cell, the victims, i'm not finding an appeal because they can't afford is the environmental activist, mika flush knows all the details of the 2012 dis hasta, he's outraged by the negligence of the minds for my own now. and is among those who called for it's kotia. we're very concerned about that data problem at that time we do what's called the bottom line. is very concerned about the same box to the waters and they say that that it's a bali chain and the most environmental frenzy mine in the world and
6:51 am
they don't release any way. so whether it said that was those way or the marketing lines that the politician was our rates and the opponent, they send the send people, that's why they should chip all the suits mine. the reason for the bankruptcy, i guess, uh many and i, i think i'm not the right person to to go the way until they bought the basic setting. you know where the idea so when they invested to the side of having all proven to be the right ones, they did me some very important elements like, well, the treatment, the so all the rain well thought the training in this area and thought to use the the, the, or, or the rock and it needs to be collect data to reflect before it can be discharged
6:52 am
back to the nature of these kind of facilities. they did not plan originally unfortunately, so that the must have been one of the reason that they did find into the process with that, with what the and the 1st thing we did was thought to be the bill of the a sense of what the statement plot this is an own best available text, and let's say a sense of all the treatment plans as well as then at each discharge pipeline from the sense of all the treatment plant, all the way to the big what the waste and we started to purify the water so they'll click on it when it's raining heavily, it doesn't impact the it doesn't innovators the step to production to be purified, to both of them and release it, violating which, which are so thankful to say that the they, they invested on and built here. what's not the operating city during this time?
6:53 am
so we have done lots of lots of the development to, to make it for, you know, in a stable manner. but the basic ideas are the same as us. they have nation. flo doesn't trust industry clients. neither does he already know tune in a biochemist and the chem and if the n g a mining watched in month, then monitoring the surroundings of the mind operations by tara salma. that's foaming down there. from line seen of it at the top line is used as a precipitation agent for the metal. it's a bosco's and that's with farming here. there was a big leak here. yeah. yeah. that, that, that sounds. i said he met the oh, so how soon are you here? the settlement is contaminated on the water quality is poor. official analysis found evidence of heavy metals reform. a has admitted that there was a leak in 2020. the claims that this was been sealed. it says the concentration is measured by you already know tuning come from natural sources. the biochemist
6:54 am
