the nights in the french embassy before setting sail for france on saturday and without you're all up today, but don't go away. i'm next. we haven't documentary on how illegal gold mining and indonesia is, poisoning people and the environment. stay with us for that. thank you so much for your company by what cod tires have to do with the production? here's a hands on the real media watch now on youtube, the lumber, indonesia a power dies island,

the tools over a 1000000 to is to you get beneath it, spokane, it kills is a hidden treasure go. and that's why the island has one of the densest populations of gold mine is in indonesia. southeast asia is biggest goals produce but this industry is fueled by a deadly vineyard. if we don't use much of it yet, but we won't get the gold one drop of medical record kill like your health problem . do you put in? some patients have symptoms that suggest poisoning of mine and my dad adds the talks and is spreading for the medical. it'd be on the opposite. the level at which you have to evacuate out of quasi luxury is how you're fully regulated. multibillion dollar goes mining industry, how did this make sure we get here?

and why is it being used? the people of what i do that has to be very careful, but they're very distrusting of gender. there's not any other value we must constantly one, the public about the risk. the n g is working in and around secretary of an area consisting of 3 small villages has counted nearly 50 children, born with new, logical, and physical best defects since 2018 minus. gotta step and then what's your name, your rica? you're new here here. yeah. but i'm gonna fund any today for these children

are being examined by concerns. local delta dental now started with seizures, and now he's constantly drooling where he's worried. there may be a common thread time that conditions together. it is by then by the end, how long some patients have symptoms that suggest poisoning of my mind. ma'am, i'm very concerned because i also have a young child and i say that we all know that mercury poisoning has terrible repercussions and there is no cure. none of the more about them there. were you exposed to lots of mercury before she was born data? medically? yes. e, and what does the season started when she was one lady down the going from nevada. she's also deaf west. so i see that the plus why i'm worried about not jury somebody because you hear a lot about it to the fact that the medical people off i get to exposure to match.

we can close it with us, the pool and even faithful. ha. on this as well documented was previous major disasters, so everything is stuck reminded as of the risks it poses. this child of 6 is an even more severe case she is incapable of expressing herself and barely reacts to light. naturally, poisoning was once tied to college and ration and manufacturing. however, by the 21st century, most industries adopted alternative met to a free production methods. then a new danger in much is your husband a gold minor? yes, yes. the story of informal gold mining and loan book style sheet around 15 years ago when locals spoke she's, you know, put unity, large mining company found, and lots deposits in lumber. local people started to think about, oh,

if there is gold for large scale for obee can get the small scale one. so they thought they could get, you know, the crumbs from the big guys in full mining took off, eventually producing more goals than corporate mining companies. up until now the gold mining activities, especially the small scale illegal, illegal and illicit. normally secretary of about the work to day 19 a has agreed to share his story. now messiah bought the 95 by a lie of the it on both. my name is thought to them by indigo. i was born in the class. a lot of good. yeah. yeah. and i did a lot of people go to work and the fresh air was efficient. and my goal is to do this, how to load and off, because it now is when it the so let's say i chose to become a 1000000 out really because like,

it doesn't have to be here the little but i've got this, i thought i thought i have to pay my equipment before i leave the house because look like so i lot of my mining tools on by the yeah this to the trip then take 2 hours right down to the it's getting late, keep the to hurry to work. a lot of those i well how firms and some including my uncles and other relatives i have rule go minus just like me, my new the i the phone number the

that last and i feel a sense of joy when i get to the present on the follow the sound big scene. yeah. the yeah, i got all the people i work with. so i'm like my brothers so that the follow up. so i do, laurie west. it's not true is the i the, the, an estimate is 22000 people in lumber, depend on small scale gold mining to earn a living, excavations precariously from the steep mountain side essential diamonds, personal mine. but he doesn't go to that noon. it's currently is a 16 meters deep is naturally small frame and muscular bills provide him with a particular advantage. when descending into the depths,

the most of the muscle, we need to prioritize our safety and let me go down the hall and i do the, the, the work is extremely dangerous. low oxygen levels intense heat following wilks, flash drugs, and gas leaks. when that talks about tools of a few of the risks, only recently, i told them and blocks out due to a lack of oxygen along good us, i'm just following up. my god, i'm standing by my colleagues thought i was there. you know what i mean? again, i'll go ahead and add the a funny. so,

but i have to do is pull the color of this rock is white. that's good the problem. and then there are holes of greens and yellows. and it has black veins. you've got 9 to work standing very good that the real danger begins with stuff. hold on and we tend to know he was process the or to extract a gold and meant to be is a key component. yeah. well then the by look at home by the pound key, your from the mounts into smaller pieces. if that the little yeah. the that the little, the in the rocks are placed in a bowl mail where they are combined with weights and hundreds of pieces of water. gradually they breaks down into settlement position mercury and

the bowman to collect the call to see that i'm going, i mean it is pulled into the bowl mil to bind with a go the mouth to eat is then burned away, leaving behind fuel gold and poisonous fuel finally, the toxic waste whole time is discard each into the environment. the socket hospital officials came to my house to explain the risk to mercury to us. but that's nothing i can do. we don't know how to process the order without using the right by the fucking i found all i know i told me that the merger is the next really has or does metal the can have severe consequences on human health

and the environment. it can cause meaning much of disease, which is a serious condition leading to coma paralysis death. it can also cause new or logical disorders, especially children. it can cross the human flush center leading to the birth defects and other logical problems globally 20 percent to the annual go production comes from informal miners like federal ron in indonesia. moco may be produced like this, that informal mining operations. to complicate matches, the miners phone there was often located near a local move to filters. so contaminated waste water then finds its way into drinking wells. rice patties and the rivers and scenes where people

fish a leafy and loving level of accomplish uh something i think i uh, research conducted by several universities such as my thought i'm university sure that mercury is present in festivals and fruits and other food production and lumber at all, i mean, that's where you wanna move to find them. yeah, i mean, as soon as you think of them or no matter what, we get to know the name and get it into the toxicity of the mercury doesn't just cause problems where the miners work. it also spreads to other places and they put in a book and i knew that some of them read me something that i bought them by the end . but that's not who naturally, which is furniture of the go times interface, accumulates in the air until one day. some way. it falls as toxic rain and then you will lose wherever the wind takes in my mind. you can't

escape it and nothing happened. data naturally does not break down in the environment to move or to fused, the move is accumulates. building up in the food chain. the today, federal rahman is a happy a, you know, i'm saying is a tape. i think it's about half a grand. that's was around 300000 group and i'm but i science i have the yeah that's i'm thrilled. that smells and twice the amount in daily is efficient. but it won't cost with his. com. so his family, neighbors, and community it is the only metal. this is liquid room temperature. mix it with cold and watch

a mess. more rising ritual funding on for the past and part of china is sold to have died after consuming mandatory in his pursuit of immortality. he was not the last abraham lincoln, the pirate king, black beard and isaac, new old does he have to have suffered from that to me? poisoning in the 20th century map. here we continue to be used in medicines, lightbulbs. the moment to this cause metrics moved within the 1950s a much we leak as a factory in the seaside town. as many montage upon killed moles a 900 people and left thousands, permanently disabled. here is another child whose father died. minimize the disease

her limbs deformed. the disaster let to title regulations around the world. by 2013 a global treaty, the minimizer conventional met to a was born. today, $9.00 to $9.00 countries, including indonesia, verified the convention, mandating them to protect the citizens from the dangers of this deadly metal. yes, the french continues the level as a result of coal mining. not sure use headstrom messy key, increased and that is a size and a complication. sort of the now the form of this i meant for the difficulties

diagnosing that to re poisoning is that symptoms of similar to those of other diseases? how about medically it to actually refines to another capture the symptoms that appear very similar to those of many new or logical disorders lane. that's how they get a number of tests on needed to ensure the symptoms are really due to mercury poisoning with the any other net and use of previously collected sancho syndrome bulk. but the efforts were not extensive concerned with the lack of action today, doctor is leaving a team to conduct bio mancha testing. that's a community what if i've seen? yeah, a nice problem, consensus old. we have to find out just how big the problem is.

first on that list is special rahman and he's pharmacy said debbie about that. the only thing hello sir. my name is dr. de la. my areas of ation is a mining hot spot and just in my center we want to monitor people's health and the impact of maturation. we would like to test you, your wife and our child is to be on the physical and cognitive tests. a carried out, did you take the signs of poisoning? don't recognize the front of my assembly. is it less? right? i don't. why the? because don't have to change. if i looks like it is starting to whiten up on my new why am i? yeah, be more to hear the case of metal units. good word simply sensation maybe that and that yes. sometimes it does sound like

how long does the child been doing uncontrollably? again sometimes the last 2 or 3 days. then the team takes half and now samples yeah, i love you that as i told you that you can release to have been examined by the daughters. a lot of shots to do that. i'll get the investigation continues with a search from that to me in the least as a new mix, portable mercury analyzer that in there. and i think this device allows us to measure the mercury in the air at a specific location that us out a lot. so the analyzer generates results immediately a reading about $1000.00 is considered unsafe category for

the kind of here's the results of what $8657.00 the mercury concentration in the around this ball mill is between a 1010000 planograms per cubic meter this in, in the 121-0002 the number where you have to evacuate. how does yep. if i don't see this, i am not based on these results. so i feel that mr. far to ramon in his family's health are in danger. yes, you're totally taking the back if he could reach 10000 with uh, our initial finding indicate that to them and as sessions. but up at best, the number of exams showed that the coordination of the left and right, there's many of them from i'm about. and mom,

i'm with them from his ability to coordinate fine motor skills, also slow up and the average person. that's it. that is all we can see there are already some issues, some about other than one mamma, but the tests may have come too late for 5 around and so i thought possible while i'm on the bus went well, mind if i got on the line the possible loans as to how to do it a lot. but they lights off at home and yeah, i realized he didn't want to suck side that they kept him home and say, i don't mean that bundle on or but i think hope to talk to right away. so helping a young people adults took

a biopsy to investigate the issue. the problem was it isn't tested or session. yeah, it was not functioning properly. yeah. might be so they could never mind due to his deformed and test gains, federal government's child isn't able to move his spouse. instead, the accident needs to be sent out through a tube on a daily basis. he is out on the walk in and get that. yeah, the doctor told me how to treat terms. i can only myself, my wife can carry out the procedure on you know, a lot by the unable. yeah. and yes, but this can only be a temporary fix. the, again, any that i'm going to see to send to expose to mercury via some other little behind the baby's, susceptible to molecular genetic changes. let us that again it be. yeah, that can lead to avenue amount of t as the organs phone. but i'm going to get a little behind on all of them, but not the bottom of the bottom. i scans as

a search and said he needs to be operated on the sea. but i don't have the money because i don't have insurance. you know, i would cost around $30000000.00 groups us. it's a deal with the i don't have that kind of money because i had the his trials, illness is less defense around the, in the enviable position of having to mine more to be able to pay for the surgery. over the next 2 days, the team collects half and now cuttings from 9 more individuals. it will take a month for the samples to be analyzed into that the do you usually get your nose coach? you'd be a star. if you did pass the results might provide on some of those,

test it into the book. it is just a microcosm before to remains a wide spectral across much in indonesia, the in wishing to set the data alone. probably $1000.00 ton a year. 1000 ton of memory, one drop of medical they could kill and, and make you make your health problem. but we're talking about 1000 ton grams and oliver indonesia, 3500 tons the, the, the health issues faced by central rom annuities. finding a new, unique to them book in many countries as opposed to doing

informal mind. also using mercury to extract in asia. the problem is to, to the most round continued denisia where they're over 850 small scale mining hotspots across the country. the nobody knows exactly how much mercury is being used. estimates vary wildly from 300 tons to over 3500. was use know, is it that or at least $300000.00 minus, using met to be in indonesia. each of them use is up to 20 parts, met to me, every possible goal recovered this is april, to the indonesian government who has committed internationally to deal with mercury

f one printing and i'm, i thought you submitted a mazda convention is a binding international agreement. and then the countries that aims to protect human on the environment from the dangers of measuring the i am equity in the set. and denise, you're right, you find the minimum to convention with a 2017 loan now. and that one ready? according to the national action plan, indonesia has committed to eliminating the use of victory by 2020. the following. i met with some with the national action plan includes policies like the adoption of alternative technologies for gold processing. and the tough of enforcement flows is also recommend that the production of not to be should be still. this starts with the presentation as a mining of an old coal cinema which mercury is made from the

. there are a couple of things that can be done to stop for all this problem created by mercury and indonesia. first is to stop the extraction or mining office in a bar, including the smelting and the process to produce medically from the or and the 2nd is prohibitive. the cell trade of memory, including exportation, mining and refining sandoval and indonesia is not against the little you have autonomy. but the government has no issued any time. it's making it de facto illegal. regardless, a secret under listed domestic production in supply chains and that to me is still possibly a today's price, $3500.00 tons of met to

a could be was over $370000000.00 us dollars. the where did this in of our or come from products according to my information, to send a volcano from setup island into the most. and i'm going to be able to do that. and indonesia, you have to have a backup. so you will be able to continue the business and activities without any disturbance. so this high rank of the shows could be police, military or a government official. and we heard from morris and i like to tell stories from people underground that there are some important people picking up their businesses . we contacted the administrative environment and forestry. it was used to comment on the list, which meant to be trade. ringback one of the largest in about mines in indonesia is allegedly on sarah island in my little crew products.

and despite its illegal nature, it can be seen from space. the satellite pictures taken in august 2022. the blue 10th hides the mining activity of machinery does allow mine is to excavate to send about a local journalist, a trying to expose this illegal activities the as soon as someone's onto the mountain to find the scent about my new number. so yeah, my name is reese long. i don't know. i'm a journalist, you will not lease custodians. i am in my, my daily reporting. so comes primarily the environment on an indigenous people. if i look north, malcolm must have had that of the model go down model code that asked that

i want to document the mining activities and become independent sources. so like, yeah, on the side of them it's very difficult to get in like i say. so i have to be very careful with that. it's a very distrusting of journalists because they can expose the information to the public. this illegal mining still exist as somebody like telling me much at that with law and try to get protection from the village head whether mine is situated, but failed to get us out. they don't want the media to expose their mind to tools to the central mind to study new, open up about people who receive brian chicago to somebody to find that's widely believed by police officers are involved who i think the best, who at the data to do but then practically shouted felt responsible in

person can phone the structure like imagery, the film, the funneling of his move out of food. and i found the minus 10 to 12 here in the middle of the mountains near about 1000 meters above sea level. that are good again, so superintending today, do you think lots of tents been set up on the cliff? there was no waves, activity would go unnoticed. thousands of tents. it's impossible not to notice. this raises the question with the southern counties a coordinating cup, hunting, applying di attempts to shut down the mines. what publicized in the media in 20172020. but as resigned found out these attempts have failed. good. a me about this time that they were still active

cinnabon mining and engineers in need for and so how the is due to a couple of things. it to me, i discussed being we little enforcement and back on who can get out of my this is due to several factors. for example, the involvement has nor enforcement offices, old and lack of resources in the field. i still am on monday. the on sarah is believe to be some of the purists in the world. this creates an alluring opportunity for those with intentions. so full i don't. yeah. and if i'm a gun, but those the number least, the discovery of santa bar in sarah and the other parts of eastern indonesia where there's been a bar about indonesia has become an ex border of mercury and even the largest supporter. yes. do you mind? yeah, buying this out of all the books are being a daddy that, that be so sorry, based on the dates or i have compilers get some new kind of officials appear to be involved in a go i such has been some couple me sign. yeah. and yeah,

i suppose these come with me not got this guy. we traced quotes documents of goodman. i did underneath that on discover the shipment of synagogue, had been delivered using an engine easy in a national armed forces truck with a driver. and i remember played z and then i found a movie then you got, but i'm more than a get lined up. i can get with somebody then i'm i also found a court ruling and numbers where the police were involved in trading mercury. me but member gladly can according invoice and to use illegal. refineries have been spoke to you to an apple vogel. i'm joined by the de, constantly on the move to evade detection. a no response believes that there are also refineries on several items on the new optics document that there is activity

that they have. the results on the top that is used for distillation, where they got the, the gun on the smaller than the, with the influx of domestic mercury. indonesian gold miners now have a plentiful supply of the toxic metal traditionally. so through a middle 9, it's currently available on social media platforms, like facebook, west sellers provide delivery right to the miners doorstep. we checked with facebook quiet. this is happening, but they have yet to reply with an elicit, but highly functional supply chain. mercury is finding its way into the hands of gold. mine is full of indonesia. this is welcome news to the minus in 2nd tongue

grumble by the majority of the population, a reliant on goals mining for anything. just one gram as goal is, was very health. the usual monthly minimum wage, the goals findings and poultry, because there's no other one of the some more. so you can only mine here. and so i can tell you, if you don't use mercury, you call and get the call among the even if you could see the golden rule, i couldn't get into a laugh. i'm last night about the, the not, not up the expense of trying their best to convince the miners to change the ways to get that money. and if i just need to ask them at the next step, i get that to them. when we went to the field, we trying to educate the miners when it gets out of our medical, the little us and that's where they know that mercury is very toxic. i think i know what they don't want to be banned from using and i won't be allowed on little enough. i'm including so when we try to talk to them and educate them,

they turned against the land. yeah. any, i mean, yeah, yeah. then i'm not gonna do that. yeah. how much on that oxide luxury has this disadvantage and do with it also has a voltage is either confusing. got the thing you ever hear me? yeah. what i got, but now they were ultimately of the opinion that is their risk to take up under icicle. get that what mine is, mike, those understand is the slow a didn't city is the sights of mercury poisoning. these can include mental emotional disease, the serious condition that can lead to paralysis, neurological disorders and local research. i talked to a previous senior team to carry out testing on 10 individuals in secretary. now the results of back to naturally concentrations in half the safe threshold is 1200000. none of the people tested within the safe threshold.

no, no account minus samples came by 26.7 times high. as in the safe level. mckinney, who used to be a minor, registered 9.8 time time, his child 5.3 times the safe level casual relevance results showed you reading. it was $12.00 times higher. while his baby boy nice, you recorded full times, the safe level, the what you get from the shopping support those. uh so i'm say that the result is very, very loud. i mean, and that we should be very concerned about this. the test results back up the initial findings as a community because i'm a nation's the 1st clinical assign, usually happen within the 5 years. for example,

the capability of this month or the nation is being being effective. the 2nd phase of symptoms often much most of the patients can present with opens a new or logical decline that that yeah, don't daddy, the severity depends on how much mercury is in the body and the person's resistance to mercury, which varies highly in seeing if that might be mercury poisoning is more likely to impacts children and severely fell on your side. yeah. by anything else. i mean, i know i hear what i mean. yes. and the baby is born that has been exposed to mercury bundle. they may look normal anyway. i hear that before they may have dfcs depending on the disorder that occurred during the development of the baby's organs . and the wound up on the side unless i buy a supplement book on, on the of the children of the secretary of the results from the tests. and other

available evidence would strongly suggest that the severe illness is being caused by mercury. in such a scenario of international expense advise immediate action such as the evacuation of polluted areas. in reality, this is likely to happen here. the n g is of not giving out. so in low bulk, they've introduced a new method of extracting gold from the old by using mills that make use of cyanide instead of not to be the table by 2 co operative filter processing. those cyanide is extremely poisonous. the residual danger of environmental build up is low compared to match me my name and that's

a data on an investment thing. if i want you to sign inundation process is much safer, because when cyanide is mixed with water, it immediately breaks down into nitrogen. again, it's actually safe for the environment, just a minute. i'm on what legal in my godaddy when the miners were using the mercury process, but they only yielded 20 grams of gold. you have been a little somebody did on. so when they used to sign edition, they use that 60 to a 100 grams of gold, and then that's what got them interested process. yeah, he does. he is on the ground execution. prove tricky. the process on that for 10 weeks. directing gold using mercury is a quick process to put it only takes 2 to 3 hours to get the gold dumbs up at the guys that would sign edition and take 72 hours or 3 days to get the gold see. yeah, think the how do you that's not the only 100 minus like fast. what rahman? usually whole as most 2 sacks of will also mountain each day. but processing with

cyanide requires a huge amount of will in one go. ideally a 150 facts. even if individual minus could have for the weight, the cost of extraction is too high. the potential rewards of scaling the time to sing the products of informal goals minus or over indonesia could be huge. but to achieve this, the government has many obstacles to overcome. escape when that gets, even though the 2025 talk it is 100 percent mercury is referring to. the fact is that to make sure he is still being used in the field to be left behind talking the supply of mercury is one possible solution for funding by a government should strictly prohibit cinnabon lining again. so not the issue. permits is even stronger international regulations may help. so one shortcoming

or the minimum of the convention in respect of small scale mining is that the treaty regards. this mining, as a allowed use for america to position should be the other way around, that mercury should be banned, produced naturally continues to be so originally used by goals, minor a def black markets and not shut down. ultimately, it is the youngest generation and the generations who come off to them to pay the heaviest price of lot. but if you can give me another job begins and you can forbid me from raising it so i can give me another job. begins that i just have yeah. the

bathroom about as i, as nice as our current condition. so i'll do my best to keep my son healthy. do you want to die? yeah, and that's i, i know he's normal kid. yeah. but i'm still grateful. he was born on a model. yeah. they do. i just, i have the, the kind of friends, i hope, my son to happen to be healthy soon the
