congo accused as a company of using minerals smuggled from the countries conflict torn regions to rolanda journalists. timothy obeys who has more of the so nice fried siege, the minerals that includes 10 ton tell them thompson and gold are found in commercial quantities, east of the democratic republic of congo. however, for more than 2 decades, the region has a sensually turn into a battle field. as rab, i'll see, control the cost to see that power has been paid by millions who lost their lives in one of the confidence longest running conflict this week. but received documents through it's lawyer of accused tech giant apple of use in minerals that are treated by the blood of home police people, n quotes in the our products, the message was where the tech giants as reap the benefits. well,

products including math and i phones got a made with minerals extracted illegally from the was own as legal action is on the way if they don't cease and desist. apple has sold technology made with mineral source from a region whose population is being devastated by grave human rights violations. the responsibility of apple and other major tech manufacturers when they use blood minerals has for too long remained at blackbox. that's on file is on the tops and widespread corruption upsides provide in minerals, apple or just some of the allegations leveled in the letter. the region has been robbed by violent since the ninety's, but tensions escalated in late 2021. when m. 23 rebels began, we job to re swats up territory the the hours. you also said apple parts, a minerals smallwood out of the country into neighboring rhonda where the are age of weight. it is a global supply chain. apple has consistently relied on

a range of suppliers that buy minerals from rwanda, a mineral, poor country that has preyed upon the d, r c and plundered its natural resources for nearly 3 decades. it's not the 1st time but or a blame on the use of what the point that the galleys, the u. n. and weston countries have accused wanda of supporting the m. 23 rebels in a beach to take control of the regents of mineral resources. but the guy, the has denied the claims as apple. straws, of all the allegations it pointed to statements embedded in it's 2023 on more reports. based on our due diligence efforts, we found no reasonable basis for concluding that any of the smelters are refiners of 3 d, g, 1010 to them, tungsten and gold, determined to be in our supply chain as of december 31st, 2023 directly or indirectly financed or benefited armed groups in the d. r. c, or in the adjoining country. the company seems to rely mainly on the due diligence

of its suppliers to advocate the source it's raw materials but, but the r c. notice says the suppliers rely on a flawed system of certification from a supply chain initiative known as the i t a c i. that was settled over 10 years ago when solve a supply of conflict, free minerals from the g r c. however, apple is not the only major corporation and relies on the system. test law intro, and samsung or among some of the other companies that depend on the eyes. yes, yeah. but the devil isn't the details, according to record by global witness. 90 percent of the minerals from specific mining sites reviewed by the program did not come from accredited mines. while the g r c has demanded that apple responds to each notice. within 3 weeks. it's not a wait and see game as to whether global tech science will put people's lives or

profits 1st, tennessee of easy archie nigeria. so earlier we spoke to diplomatic and political analysts due to mary fu, he emphasized that major tech companies might be indirectly supporting atrocities. and the d. r. c. the question is tempted to block, that's what this means is drunk. so meaning that these people are not the only finding the crimes we are attempting to finance german. so here we're turning all mazda tribes. we have master trust, and um, you know, 10000000 people this, the, i see a lot. so uh, especially the, the, the big stakes companies, the us or these are the ones who are being fussy, the, from the front of the big crimes. if you, when you come in to us from the company, you can put things on funding there by these companies. so uh,

i'm pretty sure the promises government funds that we want to see from these companies. we want to see these governments dorothy shows, uh, insurance from they think there's, there's an expense, something from the back to the home. i'm. uh huh. we have a couple things before i see. i wish i got a community where you're in the event didn't come in and say it's the law i want to buy the form, which has a lot of natural resources have become an issue for other african nations as well as the lack of fuels triggered long twos in nigeria, but they, these are the cues in the countries capital a bu job. the oil exporting nation repeatedly faces shortages after the government removed fuels subsidies last year. the move was originally intended to encourage oil imports for private companies,

but i've so far failed to overcome the national petroleum companies monopoly as well. the 1st batches of oil from the share have reached been named semi crockett via the new year been in pipeline despite the us and echo was sanctions on new share. the pipeline was not only completed but successfully put into operation construction on the 2000 kilometer pipeline began in september 2019 after the change of power in the share. some predicted the actions of the new military government and the country end result in echo wise and western sanctions would severely hamper the projects implementation. but the pipeline was eventually commissioned november by military leaders. will setting a stage for the country to gain access to international oil markets using important been in for exports. and these air produces approximately $20000.00 barrels of oil per day to the chinese national petroleum corporation with the construction of the

mass of pipeline. this is expected to increase at least 5 fold to $110000.00 barrels, which is closer to the official target of increasing production 220-0000 per day in 2026. this initiative boots hopes for the creation of at least 2000 jobs and the west african nation. economic analyst is the hoop of a car. kado says western sanctions against these you have not only failed but have had the opposite effect. or is this the 1st one is this is the sanctions that we're taking fair is the day after the cool french president, the chrome convened to secure the console with his sparks and as president our house now to our president smockey solve the former senegalese president. and the president of vinny, these are the 3 tactics the front to used against our country. they decided on the sanctions that above all are legal and not for seen in any document of either u. e. m. o, a or eco was. it was friends that dictated them in order to damage our economy. they saw with this sanctions the people were going to revolt against the regime.

but the people were tired and as to what was happening, they prefer the suffering freedom then to be in slavery. so the people were resilience. ultimately, the sanctions produced the opposite effect. the expected effect was not a chief congress and the sub region, particularly nigeria being and even ivory coast and signing gulf where more effect as there are many commercial transactions which take place with them. we along with been in use the port of northern nigeria, the majority of the states of know the nigeria and charge us the board of bidding. and molly, people change strategy. there are many for investors who participate in the construction of the pipeline. this is what happened just by the sanctions. notice that the oil route is not closed. so despite this is your will export it's oil tubing. for tanf also has suspended bbc africa and v o. a programs for reporting on human rights watch, which accuses the burke and i'll be army of abuse of the civilian population. on

the board of advisors meeting for an extraordinary session, decided to suspend the programs of the 2 international radius station broadcasting and what to do. good for a period of 2 weeks from the notification don't be said decision under the same, all the internet service providers must suspend accessing the key to faster to the websites and other digital platforms of the bbc, the b, r a and the n g o human rights watch. the ban on western media comes after human rights watch reported on claims that the burke and knobby army summarily executed at least $223.00 civilians. in february, the supreme council of communication number came up, also called the reports, quotes arbitrary and prejudiced. the supreme council of communication to take to they may come to the side of go, i'll betray in prejudice, statements against the beginning of a army without tangible evidence, especially since the same article invites an independent investigation. the

approach on demand is the key principles of information processing, and that it constitutes this information like me to describe at the but key to buy all me. search by all a leader of civil society researcher in african cultural studies from burkina. faso says the us 6 to have a monopoly on public opinion and media in africa. i see you don't see this double standard in the west is reflected in the desire to continue manipulating african opinions. they consider that they have a monopoly on african public opinion. they know it's done to reflect this information manipulation in the colonial narrative. this is why they want african public opinion to be their guard at hunt, or a private hunt of their media exclusively. this is why they are very hostile to the russian media, to the arrival of, of the chinese media or to other partners to whom the african countries are turning to more more in view of the historical reports and the sincerity of the cooperation . and especially the results that this cooperation makes it possible to obtain.

they understand that this compose a threat to them as you know very well, the western media are connected to the political powers in place. and so this proceeds by wanting to keep the african media space for themselves or their settled couple. i believe that it is not the united states whose record of violating public freedoms is common within the biden administration. they can dare to take this path to teach lessons to what kind of fossil burkina faso is a solver. and people is a free people, free to choose the narrative that suits it, which suits the truth of its history, which suits its interests. a show host from the us and e u funded ukrainian stopped fake organization was reported. ties to nazi activist has been arrested in washington after he assaulted a gray zone contributor on of events hosted by the conservative james town foundation. our correspondent steve sweeney has the story. the police in the us

a 2nd to have full press accreditation for the conference was like russian pro well urging others to remain vigilant. today we had a troll coach mazda of robson who prove out to one of our participants and managed to get some in trouble. so i'm warning everyone, be careful. don't get into any arguments with anyone, just walk away. and it was all twist organizes of the convers quite, but the crazy and contribute took the liberty inside to the physical attack on himself. so try and claims to be independent with his platform, stop fight, talk old, portrayed as a non governmental organization focused on fact checking. it list many goals on this website. including informing the public about the danger of propaganda and dissemination of fake information in the media. stop site can assist it receives no government funds. but is this really the case? a closer look at a website tells a different story stuff. it was also supported by the international renaissance

one the collab which the other also nikolai, which should make a wish. somehow it happens symbolically a month or so from the far right connections. and you'd probably pay to pay it in comparison to those of his wife form. and you find in house minister or the on the soap run, who he met a bond that rides ideological company, new york. that consisted of political workshops with o u m b lead is she has maintained close relations with a number of funding. they are not c organizations including c 14, which has been credited with carrying out a wave of bruce warranty volume. a programs only are cert problem has also been described as one of the main patrons of the fall rights activist. so that's the unco who lead the right sect is masika of and see my protest is in odessa in may, 2014, and ultimately help to ignite the civil war. at least a new crane. western media has gone to great lengths to downplay the

o. u and b's continued existence, a new price on the day astra assuming it to be a relevant a big fund. i mean, it seems i have found the perfect outline stops like these main objective in reality seems to be to stop proves the pro palestinian protesters have clashed with police during the $79.00 signed a bursary, a blood peroration day in milan, the, the police pushed back protesters using baton this is proud to march through the city security forces, tried to separate pro israel and pro palestinian protesters. has tensions between the groups flared protestors waving palestinian flags and banners 10th and slogans and called for an immediate end to war. and the genocide the protest also took place in paris for demonstrators occupied the science po university in solidarity with guns

. it was some blocking the entrance to the building that miss traders lay as palestinian flags and tigers, demanding official condemnation of his really actions and recognition of the ongoing genocide we heard from some of the students who expressed their concern over the situation in gaza. there are no real intentions on the part to us in countries to try to interrupt the situation. so these are due to most everywhere. all of us are concerned about this. we would really like the governments, the educational institution and academics to solve this or just some ization of genocide who is asking for a cease fire today who's committee who is asking for a minute of silence today. it's not the administration is small different state. we want the science pool management to communicate with the students so that we can consider the recognition of what is happening in god. the official death toll and gaza has risen to $34356.00 since israel began us military offensive. and october

last year. human rights organizations have sounded the alarm over the humanitarian catastrophe. and the enclave. every day doctors and volunteers try to save lives in the region, putting their own safety at risk, at least to $685.00 health workers had been killed so far are to continues that special coverage with the story of those who managed to escape the deadly attacks of the we are calling the civilians. believe guys that go south, some us wants to keep them there as a human shield. this is innocent. civilians are going to be heard i to sign on. i see all the civilians and one of the

the been working it out x and markers hospital in 0 blocks since last year. this hospital has approximately 230 bands. and there was a shortage of places, even before the war being in charge of the emergency department. we struggled daily with the lack of bats, but never before have the numbers of patients being so high and continues as of right now. our friends were busy working when suddenly there was an explosion behind us. not far from where we are. it was really loud, the

praise to god after 34 hours of no internet connection and phone signal. i'm now back on line. i am in good health. this morning and we continue the distribution process of 1000 packages of prepared for friends. you see that there is no gas for cooking, so we rely on what is it that is use important you wouldn't with other limitations, we must keep. we show our enemies that even though they cut off the gas supply, it doesn't mean that we stop offering our best for the palestinians in costs. the to be honest, it is very difficult to coach because the patients with your donors have simple leg

fractures or abdominal distension. we receive patients with a wide variety of injuries. these are bone factors, just injury and head injuries. as for example, in the case of police child, and that 11 patient may have multiple illnesses and injures at once. the huge influx of victims, which has become a familiar thing, create serious difficulties daily, and it's not easy for us to help the home. things are very bad you know, the to nothing. so i was not just one of the people in the indonesian hospital i told you i was one of the supervisors who built this hospital from 2011 to 2014 or 2015 . who were on the ground at the side of the hospital from the beginning until the end of the search and saw no tunnels of resistance, no from aust donald,

no tunnels whatsoever. these are the ease rarely fabrications and open efforts to justify their vitality towards hospitals in the cards the . i'm really good. some are to wanted to end the work from the 1st day. it could have, but unfortunately, america, especially the blinking enjoy watching this genocide instead of saving lives. some guys are from the start of the war. this and worship some military equipment. even the american troops are involved in the war and their number is not insignificant. the channel communicated with the washing between medic entities at the highest levels . after a month of waiting, we were informed by

r t r a big that we could go to refund and then russia says we have russians passports. honestly, i might have spoken only 2 sentences above the average the channel made, but it was a tremendous effort at every stage. they never stopped support in. the interim prime minister has been appointed in haiti and the provisional government sworn in the mid the deteriorating situation. the new leader has expressed his readiness to deal with the crisis and the country. ready after 2 long months of debate with the support of the international community, a solution has been found for the wellbeing of the nation. today is an important day in the life of our dear republic, with the perspective of a solution to our fundamental objective. which is to draw up a solution to the multi dimensional crisis that the countries experiencing with a view to arrive. 4 at a definitive outcome,

as the transitional counsel will be in place until the next government is appointed . petty has been plagued by a deep crisis for years, gains are reported to control most of the capital with police and soldiers, and greatly outnumbered and the international airport. and ports being closed due to safety risk in 2010 was quite level to the capital and killed thousands of people with the countries still unable to deal with the devastating consequences of the disaster. but here's what locals say about the situation in the, in the back. no, we have no leaders, we have nothing. all the leaders are corrupt, they can't do anything for us. i wish we, the people could bring them down. but if the presidential counsel really wants to do things properly, it has to start by bringing security to the country. because the problem we have in the country is in security. and that's why we can't function, why we can't do business. why we don't have money. we'd like to see change so that we can get out and take part in whatever activities we feel comfortable with so

that we can get out and the children can go back to school. the 1st thing that the presidential council must do is look into the security problem in security, has made this country on livable. kim, i was english language editor ad haiti, liberty says the current situation is merely an extension of the status quote. and the situation in the country is far from being stabilized. i don't think they're going to bring any meaningful changes. this government is really a mere extension of the status quote uh it was concocted by the us department and infiniti lincoln personally traveling to kingston, jamaica on march 11th, using the carrier accommodations as upfront and establishing what the state department saw is the best possible continuation of the

project toll elections, which will put in place of government that they prefer. and that will invite the global for julie, the act under which us, which station us troops in haiti and click the country or lifeline. both of us humanitarian. nothing has changed. he is simply continuing on as the interim prime minister since arial, and re was prevented from returning to the country. you may be replaced in the coming days by a new prime minister that will be selected by all the council. i imagine the one to change him just because the optics of this situation will be better if it's somebody who is not a former minister in a plain t r e o. i'm re,

all right, just stay with our t international up next on going underground option with time. see discusses with his guest to the threat of a i extinction and how the rise of artificial intelligence to bring tuesday for him by the the time. see, welcome back. to going underground pool costs to go around the world. really? you a, what do you think is most likely to destroy humanity? elite power? yes. but through nato expansionism, nuclear war, pandemic, climate change or something else. but yes, futurist scientists will make as

a novelist, have war and have a super intelligent say i could become the biggest threat to humanity. and now just a narrow it leads controls accelerating a race. how long before the robots take over the end? does anyone even comprehend what they'll be capable of? is it tell us why the advancement of a i is risky of in russian? relapse is professor roman young pulse keys, associate professor of computer science and director of the cyber security laboratory at the university of louisville, kentucky where he joins me from and he's the author of the new book. hey, i, i'm explainable, unpredictable, uncontrollable, thank you so much. a professor rambles keep for coming on, i'm going to say this, the intro. i just did way more dangerous than any i presenter of going underground when dangerous program. but we compare this to hospital, given the book clearly defined so many different concepts of the most basic definition. and i guess what, what is a i, what's a g i o a a is just the old name for.
