8:16 pm
due to me in the the thousands of people in the democratic republic of congo, d r c, supplying materials from global resolution within mining k,
8:17 pm
as in high demand around the world, cobalt industrial countries urgently need the medical 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
8:18 pm
coal lazy is the cobalt capital of the world. way here in the house with the cost to build an industrial region location, the southern part of the sea and neighboring sand. beyond a century of mining has shaped the landscape. this was my 1st trip to co lazy. it was strongly most was just how the whole city was built around the mining industry around and on top of these, these minerals. and just 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
8:19 pm
people are digging down into the basement. so the houses are under ground to access the cables. it's extremely dysfunctional. i'm gonna send to national is that 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. um, you know, during the reading about is doing 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 sector was becoming increasingly large. particularly when it came to cobalt. the chris, the diggers were risking their lives in the health to take the this, this mccloud,
8:20 pm
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 of the doing that because the forced by the 2nd the main point is that the report with it as much as 20 percent of those codes was coming from a 2 small mines 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 were 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,
8:21 pm
autism mining the cable industry linking these mines to these famous brands had a massive media pickup, much more than we were expecting when the m, as to reports of 2016, the mining industry was forced to make its supply chains were transparent then in 2019 d o e c t for to get the most important companies that are formed in coal lazy. the aim was to support them in tracing cobalt. how dementia, woods, due diligence. due diligence is a process where by companies are suppose to map the
8:22 pm
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 is trying to integrate the hot seasonal mines into 2 sections. programs. one of the mines audited by aussie is global has made all the due diligence criteria, the pilot mine 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
8:23 pm
children, and by 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 why you didn't buy is what's produced and has commissioned aussie is mobile with. it's q 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 with the lights of the list. they're still at the mercy of the chinese who set the price for what they bought. was a good the supplement by which does it cost is to claim a shaft like the sum that people up with the $5000.00 gun forgot. send me 350002400000 con please. frank is
8:24 pm
a few more i will give you guys. did you think it'd be gold 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 the tops and all the rent money they may be able to get. we need 3 scaffolds and all of that. but i've got meaning that i'd be 12. so that's 500000 francs to support the sean, i'm not sure. how much does the cooperative cover look good. i have to go to, oh god, i get. it came to the co operative doesn't camera boxes. so how much is left for you? then when i get into this one, you're going to not gotten your book just enough to pay for a manual fund. now i will put that thing to the mine and laundry. so said that we look clean one eye size. can i get with shuffle? 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, i've got the roof. i see i'm on the doesn't offer any future. there's not
8:25 pm
a problem on the next. you doesn't spend anything because we don't do the what are we supposed to live on? we're finding 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 list together. i think given the continually changing, not seasonal mind, some conflict supply chains. how could 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 most out of links from the company itself. the other thing that the companies do is joint industries gains. so they join up 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,
8:26 pm
which they will sign up to. and then it's just a paper exercise. they can all say yes. we agree with these standards. we've signed up to the standards, but it doesn't necessarily the to the change we want to see on the ground. and that's why there is a role for organizations. i amnesty international, but particularly a role for organizations like don't as in, in co, lazy, 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. and with good reason, there was still thousands of children working in the small mines in the law. but if
8:27 pm
many in cios say that as a result, the other problems which cannot be solved with 2 dimensions, while i forced resettlement without appropriate compensation, environmental pollution and corruption are pushed into the background. and these are these 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 the office, 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 provision logical,
8:28 pm
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 suff and of 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 costs, as jason mean was bankrupt and mean in
8:29 pm
2002 good. it turns out that jake, i mean, was just as broke as the congolese government platform amicus and not just economically left bottom on the, the world bank forced reforms on the governmental it. they said that they said us going to, yes, you have the minerals of it, but not the resources to make the sector reliable. re open your country up to multinational corporations move muskets. i 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 for scott 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? there's old g for the 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 success to obtain the mining
8:30 pm
licenses involved, especially the cobalt bison. so that's it is what you're going to step in then just play a key figure shows up or to or dump 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. let me guess you're not a multinational corporation, it's going to be at the swiss blanco group or the cause i q ration research group. wanted to get some license that once belonged 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 investor. is that coming? that's something that's known as a direct awarded the contracts loan. so please, and if i don't the license a very low price to done capitelli, they don't need to have good connections to the phone with president joseph kabibi
8:31 pm
. ask of you just to push unexploded all that out. is it you have home do use the closest you'll actually betsy offer you came to power in 2001 just as could be in a different 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 tons of money. one of the roles of much coal mines, glen cold and loaned good me and soft he negotiate has another mind deal with the congo. witness transaction became public. these very came up on the useful throne. she's raised by suspected get over bribing. that could be leverage. shame regarding
8:32 pm
several projects, sometimes even with the participation of a us investment fund, it's estimation to the companies government lost more than a 1000000000 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 or certain high officers of it to be leveraging and others as well. but certainly he is the largest target that was the largest target in terms of the value of the assets. he controls the u. s. which also wanted to invest in the congo filed lawsuits against den catlett and glen colt. britain in switzerland are also investigation. the company in 2022, the swiss multi national and now as soon as it set aside $1500000000.00 us dollars for legal disputes. how do industrial groups like you, me call in belgium,
8:33 pm
which forces cobalt from claim cool views that if there is a conviction, we would need to assess what is happening, we will do our own assessments as well as the judge finds that the, the, the party is guilty, and we will look into it and then make our our decision, of course. yeah. based on the the legal outcome. please. jesse, 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's fine, go that's being mind using times. nathan, a. nobody's buffet by it. because the company hasn't been convicted to doing it. they'll find just yup, at portland, understand when it comes to child labor, you'll never hear the arguments. no conviction, no problem intelligible, but it's different with corruption from them as long as no one gets convicted, it's fine, but the lid. yeah. but pulling it is clear to us that corruption is not
8:34 pm
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. mitchell cole only works with columbus long tiles of mine. tidings that were deposited in coal ways to join the belgian colonial period. today the size has some of the richest yields and the coffee bills 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 that could be the regime, pulled the plug and the 1st quarter of it and withdrew the license. we now know
8:35 pm
from court documents and court 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 the 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. oh, there's one last. that is all 3, you know, that's and several 100 was, were employed for the building, the new processing count in core ways, even worse. and all these people suddenly lost their drops to death. we found the
8:36 pm
home for the cause, the company you ration resources, great thing completed the facility which from then on was known as mitchell co battiata. despite all the sessions to the contrary, the 701st quantum workers who were fired with not to compensate is no rehired. they said he said in 1st, i don't know if it was a timely delivery, mind 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 that they don't the middle. but where does metal coal get the cobalt which give me the t lee metal coal works back there mostly for quite far away. yes. behind the smoke back there,
8:37 pm
that's where metal coal started, the recovery. later it went as far as here. i'll come on see some of the old buddies issues because the new project, the pleasure they need, that goes with new projects such as metal coal, as on ethical. so we filed a lawsuit and fed and a cool gdc a to send up as a low cost. it's an appeal to you to the collective consciousness, depending on what possible monthly fuel was the engine to us and all those involved that 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 it's my name just felt that this it goes up and i hope that with our involvement funds we could make the parties aware of the real problems that copper and cobalt mine in not just the issue of child labor to $54.00. i'm not saying that
8:38 pm
child labor isn't a problem on that, but it's not the biggest problem in the sector body. people don't program you think that what do you expect from the court? what i mean, i say that it results the case. what, that's what we get paid at the r as in justice, we didn't get any money. uh huh. but what do you expect from the hearings that we adopt? i'm up a bit. i'll get paid. then i'll get my severance, pay him up instead of paying and all at once to be paid, an installment. they have to do 600, right. and as i would do to find the most yourself from that normal 600000 francs, we're getting fired with the company is going to go. and i just have a bunch of guys he does when he lives 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, jones. 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, but that guys,
8:39 pm
you watch the nice not, not getting them and they just terminated the contracts without any compensation as if we didn't exist to protect up really because they didn't pay anything. but i know we don't match it to them, but i need to earn a bully. we're not, you know, people are treated up. i see new people say equal to be not. we are hoping for a great deal from this case and then we'll hang in there until the end of the company has to admit its 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 and of course, doing 500 the left. some of the things that's unfair, similar to, or even a shop advocate that says if you would work a field together with your children, they will put it in as i'm fine. then when it's harvest time, you go and get the neighbors cancel. that's what's happening here. sick, a us at the point that we still had work, we had access to medical care,
8:40 pm
we aren't enough to send our children to school on monday. cool. i come 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 for a new law or not. if she died on the way home. i see a local do. let's take on. my son died a year later in my opinion, and that's my daughter. he anita 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? something separate by the way. what happened? we had malaria and yellow fever and my brother. yeah, a few years old. just
8:41 pm
a few years old. he died 2 living to see was 8 years old. the width of the, the only 16 small donor from welcome to radio television, money. com. and 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 and by she, professor, what were you doing here and go away? the walk was to see what's, what destroys. yep. what it was. it was never come out here or that bad that if i 1st we assess the level of contamination of the ego systems that are relevant for
8:42 pm
the population that i did. a guest saw a lady for the company and i saw the polluted out the waterways. i get put them in a so the plus so. so somebody's come a how contaminated are the fish that are in the cool book? is salt. i mean, 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 law that it didn't. so the professor sort of phone calls all has been investigation the each a logical and health impacts of coal release mining for 15 years working for several in ga us. it's something companies applying due diligence to take all that seriously. i looked it up to the see girl, is that the, the old from here, the acid flows down as far as the new river light, if you have
8:43 pm
a need in which blows into the congo in your village setup on the flow of google, and you would utilize it sits, it is as easy luck with the vote. the people who live there will tell you that they can smell the asset at night. did i see that? it was responsible for this ecological disaster? since it is at stake, what is it uh say the commercial copper company, 1st and foremost, all that belongs to glen court to follow their plans as over there. so that was the see. the last who that foam as long as you record it. but then when the basement is full, they open the drain, gonna do that. so it says equals the then the color of the water changes. and this phone forms from the line that they dump into the basic or deluxe. you'll just want to enter the rest of them and then the best for you because you maybe like to do like don't, would you like to put the alignment to keep the piece value greater than 70 to,
8:44 pm
to sit. mit is in plus, becky, this would mean that i don't think it works because the toxic metals prevent the acid from being neutralized while you live, the less they did the lawyer. and maybe they started with the city about that. so they'll say, look at the water, the soil in the model. yeah, yeah, of course the color shows that we continue to have a very serious problem here at the top risk. ready because this river flows into the condo to the flow of global city land. but congo is one of africa's most important river lots but, 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 demo. even here at the provincial level, really that goes over this. it was over there when the company wants an appointment or it gets when he immediately was that because the company pays for it to google them up. we see not see, it was and for the same reasons. so you can almost rule out getting supports for
8:45 pm
the activities of benji host, less safe to say said under pressure from n g o is glen cool. finally consumed the leakage of so fuel rec acid. but it said it didn't have any effect on the stocks of fission surrounding ponds or ducks. weekly. the company has already begun compensating victims and cleaning up the ponds. phyllis bones on his team to take that highly elevated co, both by using the blood and you're on mine with this from crazy or in an article in a journal nature's sustainability. they were closing the changes in the dna of children who didn't have the task. an indication of an increased risk to can so say the professor is conducting test on about a 100 prospectors. they were exposed to radio. radioactive scans released from rock contains uranium. believe the police, the police, i believe i believe the floods cancelled my medicaid
8:46 pm
guys developer. finally emphasized the will be less civics in the way it will become because he will have somebody that that's not 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 hmo. but yeah, 90 a month you have to move my neck. you have to move your truck a little, you know, your mind body, you know, 10 and under book me i. nicole, your 999 is at that point up is if i put in the little by single month one and you're going to $99.00. you met and i'm a phone, but not be so i'm just getting but one of them on a 40 something because if it to my son and problem, if we can't get a handle on the pollution, we're going to have a huge problem soon. group out there won't be any life left in the rivers and that's i don't even now most of the rivers and the former province of good tongue
8:47 pm
are contaminated. got that lazy this of what you sell in, not just here, but in q bousquet plus the, practically everywhere they've my natural resources. are this assuming that yes, a problem. and also the most can we don't watch out about this country is going to have an ecological and toxicological scandal of why april is the case of the land of a 1000 legs. it's not just time to some of the large orders that to us. 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 tis of rivers and lakes were destroyed when toxic sludge was released from the salt come online, which belonged to the tennessee fire mining company. public pressure led to the mines closure until the terra farm agreed to close by itself or ration. 10 years
8:48 pm
later, victims of the disaster still waiting for compensation. news, i said, well, what's the state of the link to our link here? yes. in the money both, but hopefully it's not as bad as locker y'all be right now. really name because he had 3 feet of that box 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 also i still wish and not the only just diffused really me. yes. a said we're catching so few now that it doesn't even cover our cost that has some quantity of force. so think of the many ethical guy after the kids to suck a base and linked. nobody wanted our fish anymore. not even for free. fishing was just about dead guidelines on for about 3 or 4 years now. there's beneficial guns available, but we really got serious reservations about selling them out of those funds and
8:49 pm
wholesalers, having taken professionally caught fish for years anyway. now you've always got to be going to cold hearings now you own it. and yeah, if you want to call it that, you know, 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 of course. 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. see awesome 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 of yet, i don't see any get out. i'm really, they've got ever said h p. p. partners and the most expensive law firms in the country. so that,
8:50 pm
and i'll just keep on fighting and fighting, but i'm not going to settle for it. right? that's understandable. it's unfair and wrong to your, to brian most of on and lost his case even though he had expected reports that shows what 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 meet. your search knows all the details of the 2012 to saw stuff. he's outraged by the negligence of the minds for my own now. and it's 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
8:51 pm
they don't release any ways whether it said that was those way or the marketing lines to the politician. as i've read some 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, 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 or, or the rock and it needs to be collect date to reflect before it can be discharged
8:52 pm
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 known best available, the extra lucky, a sense of all of the treatment plans as well as then at each discharge pipeline from the since the treatment plant all the way to the big what the waste and we started to purify the water for the weekend when it's raining heavily, it doesn't impact the it doesn't innovators, the stuff to production we, we purified the both of them and release it, violating with services that they floated, that the they, they invested on a build here. what's not the operating city during the time?
8:53 pm
so we have done a lot of a lot 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 nature flow doesn't trust industry clients. neither does he already know. tune in a biochemist and the chairman of the n g, a mining watch for the month, then monitoring the surroundings of the mind operation 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 of also stuckey. 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. terra firma 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 bio chemist
8:54 pm
