11:16 am
info. my grands the thousands of people in the democratic republic of congo, d r c, supplying materials from global resolution within mining k,
11:17 am
as in high demand around the world. cobalt industrial countries urgently need the measurements to make that change. the host of all the electric vehicles in the race to slow climate change. cobalt has become key to the transition away from fossil fuels who's paying the price? the of the
11:18 am
coal lazy is the cobalt capital of the world way here in the house with the cost to build an industrial region location in the southern part of the sea and neighboring sam via a century of mining shapes and landscape. this was my 1st trip to co, easy. it was strongly most was just how the whole city was built around the mining industry around and on top of these, these minerals a, 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,
11:19 am
fix the expansion of industrial mines. it comes home in the parts of the city where people are digging down into the basement. so the houses are under ground to access the cables. it's extremely dysfunctional. i'm a senior nationalist, 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. um, you know, during the reading about as 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 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 the this, this mccloud,
11:20 am
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 the total was coming from autism minds in the d o 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
11:21 am
we got. so this report drawing the links to, you know, from child labor, 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 v o e c t port to get to the most important companies that are formed in coal lazy. the aim was to support them in tracing cobalt. how the magic woods due diligence due diligence is a process where by companies are suppose to map the
11:22 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, okay, all the way to the point of a extraction, then so be it. many manufacturers commission to service provider also use 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 to to the agents programs. one of the mines audited by aussie is global has made all the due diligence criteria. the pilot mine in customer will a district of co lazy in 2014, a resident here discovered a vein of cobalt that was already attracted. as many as 15000 prospect is to ensure
11:23 am
the district didn't collapse and to keep children 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 mining cooperatives 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 that the list are 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 some that people up with the $12000.00 gun forgot. send me 350002400000 con please frank. seek you more. i will give you guys,
11:24 am
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 it's around 200000 francs. those are the funds that have been up 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 got meaning that i'd be 12. so that's 500000 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 it came to the co operative doesn't camera boxes. mm. so how much is left for you then? when i get into this rodney, i go through and i've got a new book just enough to pay for a manual fund. now i will pull that thing to the mine and laundry. so said that we look clean one eye size can i get would shuffle. i see, i see cost 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 or it doesn't offer any future. there's not
11:25 am
a problem on the next. you don't spend anything because we don't do the what are we supposed to live on? we're finding me on the sign on 0. we should data companies like us cs global, have a numerous pallet in the new market at the q diligence service, listed above a given the continually changing, not seasonal mind, some conflicts 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're doing that with all the other companies in the sector. and they, they create
11:26 am
a body which does the due diligence for them all or promotes a set of standards, 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 lead to the change we want to see on the ground. and that's why there is a role for organizations. i am as the 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,
11:27 am
there was still thousands of children working in the small mines in the law, but it, many in cios say that as a result of the other problems which cannot be solved with 2 dimensions, like post 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 just 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 the
11:28 am
launch part of the cobalt supply chain. the provision logical bed, the wondering of come the leaves, natural resources is nothing new. motor 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 stimulation, the mining sector in order to fill government costs is jason mean was bankrupt and
11:29 am
mean in 2002 good. it turns out that jake, i mean, was just as broke as the congolese government platform amicus and not just economically the 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 and re open your country up to multinational corporations buskey. this up event 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, look around, all the big ones came, but not to give the people the future. for monday, they all came to make the deals and as i said, i don't think they call it looks like, don't you go bank. there's rosie, you know? yeah. 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
11:30 am
success to obtain the mining licenses involved, especially the cobalt bison. so that's, it is what i'd like to set up and 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. because you 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 would be at this with clinical group or the kinds of q ration research group. wanted to get some license that once belonged to the state companies. you're coming the logic, i mean maybe, but instead of selling the license directly to the corporation or holding around is bidding to find the best investor. it says that there's a coming did something that's known as a direct awarded the contracts loan. so please it is, i don't the license a very low price to done capitelli. they don't need to have good connections to the
11:31 am
phone with president joseph kabibi. ask of you just to push alex, 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 world's largest 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 real griping. that could be lorayne shame regarding several
11:32 am
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 good luck. 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 the could be a leverage game and others as well. but certainly he is the largest part that was the largest target in terms of the value of the assets. he controls the us, which also wanted to invest in the congo filed lawsuits against den catlin and glen colt. britain in switzerland are also investigation. the company in 2022, the swiss multi national and now so there's it set aside $1500000000.00 us dollars
11:33 am
for legal disputes. how do industrial groups like you me call in belgium, which forces cobalt from plain cool view 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 party is guilty. we will look into it and then make our our decision, of course. yeah. based on the the legal outcome, please. yes, it is all specific. i'm to come see if we did not surround the disappointing to me . he expressed the means. imagine that you go to a company that's fine, go, that's been mind using times naples a. nobody's both buy it because the company hasn't been convicted to doing it so far. i don't think you have a problem understand when it comes to child labor, you never hear the arguments, no conviction, no problem. but it's different with corruption that pulled in as long as no one gets convicted, it's fine, but the lid, you have
11:34 am
a pull in. it is clear to us that corruption is not 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. tidings that were deposited in coal waves, the junior built in colonial period. today the site has some of the richest you and the called the built of the 2000 the canadian company, 1st quote 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
11:35 am
withdrew the license. we now know 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 won't do to know if it is all the way you need something back. then several 100 was, were employed for the building, the new processing talent in core ways,
11:36 am
the universe and all these people suddenly lost their drops to death. we found the home for the cause a company you ration resources group, then 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 re, hi had this is that's in place. i don't know for those are timely delivery. mind tailings, you know, that's the spark of the stuff. you know, it's worth. i agree. yeah. well, of the off we desert. the reason for the desert, this is the middle. but where does metal coal get the cobalt? which means that the t lee metal coal works back, they're actually quite far away. yes,
11:37 am
behind the smoke back there. that's where it methyl call started. the recovery. later it went as far as here, a couple months here. so some of the old buddies issues because the new project on the plaza, they need that cause we new projects such as metal coal, as on ethical. so we filed a lawsuit and said as a cool you this? yeah, sand not been a lot going. it's an appeal to you to the collective consciousness you plan on what parts of might they was the engine to us and all those involved. so not to confront the final consumers on international and 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 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
11:38 am
not just the issue of child labor to case if i'm not saying that the child labor isn't a problem on that, but it's not the biggest problem in the sector by the people don't program you think that about you. what do you expect from the court when i do not mean that it results the case? what that's what we get paid at the is injustice with the money thing it is. 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 in installments. they have to do $600.00 francs as it would have been a mess. you sell from that normal 600000 francs for getting fired with the company is going to do. and i just have a blessed day, i'm going to let them of who thought 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?
11:39 am
stop, but that guys you what the me not the just terminated the contracts without any compensation? honestly, if we didn't exist, i'll protect up really because they didn't pay anything, but i know we don't match it to them, but they're doing a bully. they'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 we'll hang in there until the end of the company has to admit its mistake and compensate us as to what 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 are poor doing 500, the left sort of thing. that's unfair, similar to, to finish all of it. good. that's as if you would work a field together with your children. they will put it in is on fire, and then when it's harvest time, you go and get the neighbors good. that's what's happening here. sick. a point. we still had work. we had access to medical care,
11:40 am
we are and enough to send our children to school on monday. the country. yeah. yeah . 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 that a lot. they turned me away because for a new law or not a she's a, she died on the way home. i see a lot. i'll go do, let's my son died a year later in my opinion, and that's my daughter. he anita the . disappear name was much, much, yes. she had malaria this a farm through the year. and that's him. what was his name? something separate really quick. what happened?
11:41 am
we had malaria and yellow fever and my brother. yeah, a few years old. just a few years old. he died 2 living a c was 8 years old. the width of the, the only 16, small donor for 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 lou bloom by sheets. professor, what were you doing here and go away? the walk was to see what sort of shows do 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
11:42 am
relevant for the population that did a good 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 assault? i mean, yes, i don't see a nickel. so about the need for the quote, the nina. so after that we looked at people's house the 1st and last week it was 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 on the, the table, so the professor sort of phone phone saw, 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 declined due diligence. don't take all that seriously. i look it up to the see girl, is that the,
11:43 am
the old from here, 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 7 on the flow of google and you would utilize it said it is active, even though the volt, the people who lived there will tell use 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, oh, it belongs to glen court. the far right there plant is over there. the see the last who that foam as long as you but goodly, but then when the basement is full, they open the drain. going to do that. so is this because then the color of the water changes and this phone forms from the line that they dump into the basic, or deluxe realty, sometime throughout the rest of the country. maybe like the deluxe, the would you like to put the alignment to keep the piece value greater than 70 to
11:44 am
the sits. mit is in foss. becky, this is what i mean. but i don't think it works. because the toxic metals prevent the acid from being neutralized, layla listed. ready below and maybe they started with the city 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. that up 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 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 for the data that goes over this, it was sampled 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 about pc
11:45 am
non say it was. and for the same reasons you want, you can almost rule out getting supports for the activities of benji. oh, it's less safe to say under pressure from and g. o is glen cool? finally confirmed, teach of self cubic acid, but it said it didn't have any effects on the stock. sufficient 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 mine with this from crazy or in an article in the journal nature sustainability. they were closing 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, radio i can scan it's released from rogers, which contains you right in the police. i believe i believe i believe the fluids
11:46 am
can get my kids. i sort of up to find any emphasize yeah. will be less civics in the way you want it to become a guys able to for me to look them up to see if that's that you didn't know if we couldn't give them up more continuum of what that looks like because i'm going to up what time that's an m o e, and 90 a month, you have to move my neck. you have to move. you talk a little, you know, your mind about you know, attending under book me i, nicole, your 999. is that that might not be as if i put in the little by single month one and you're going to 99 that you met and i'm offended phone but not be. so i'm just getting the demo a 40 something because if it to my son, i have a 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 that result even now most of the rivers and the former province of good tongue are
11:47 am
contaminated. got that lazy and not just here, but in key rules 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. look similar to the land of 1000 length. it's not just time to some of the large orders of 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
11:48 am
later, victims of the disaster still waiting for compensation. years i said, well, what's the state of the length? killed 12 leg here. yes. and the money both, but hopefully it's not as bad as lock or 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, a gamble, and we had to take up and that's it would have been a waste of work otherwise doing today. i see, but also still this. ringback not only just diffused really me, yes. a, so 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 and yeah, well that we really got serious reservations about selling them out of the stops
11:49 am
and 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 us. and then what do you have to say about the hearings? and i do have, hopefully 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 on i'm really, they've got ever said h b p partners,
11:50 am
the most expensive law firms in the country so that and i'll just keep on fighting and fighting. i'm not going to settle for it. right? that's understandable. it's unfair and wrong to your or brian most of the one 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 this. environmental activist, mika such 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 us who called for disclosure. we're very concerned about that data problem at that time. what's called the bottom line is very concerned about the same box to the waters. monday's day that, that it's a bali jane and the most environment,
11:51 am
the friends of mine in the world. and they don't release any ways whether it's that that was, those were the marketing lines that the logo, all edition was a regional opponent. they sent us and people. that's why they should chip all the suits mine. the reason for the bankruptcy, i guess i'm many and i, i think i'm not the right person to to go to wait until they bought the basic setting. you know, with the idea. so when they invested to, to the side, i have an all proven to be the right once they did me some a very important elements, like what the treatment, the so all the rain, both of these raining in this area and thought to use the, the, or or the rock and needs to be collect data to reflect before it can be discharged
11:52 am
back to the nature of these kind of facilities. they did not plan originally unfortunately, so that the must have been one. the reason that they did find into the process with that, with what the and the 1st thing we had it was thought to be a bit of the, a sense of what the faith meant. plot this as an own best available text. and let's say a sense of what the treatment plans, as well as then at each discharge pipeline, from the sense of all the treatment plant, all the way to the bic, 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 just of the production of a be purified the water and really isn't violating or which, which is that, that's a lot say that the they, they invested on and built here was not the operating city
11:53 am
during this time. so we have done a lot of a lot of the development to, to make it for, you know, you know, for staples, them on a, bought the basic ideas. are the same us us, they have to meet your flow, doesn't trust industry clients. neither does he already know tune in a biochemist and the chairman of the n g, a mining what you've been month then monitoring the surroundings of the mind, operations by terra firma. that's foaming down there from line. so you know that that line is used as a precipitation agent for the metal. it's of also st. 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, underwater 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 then sealed. it says the concentration is
11:54 am
